NAT'L POLITICAL UNREST GROWING AMONG THE COLORED REPUBLICANS An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man HARLEM VOTERS DEMAND SHOW IN LEADERSHIP Says Race With The Largest Voting Strength In District Is Ignored In Party Councils. Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y., April 29. Leading ministers and prominent politicians directed a petition to Samuel S. Koenig, Republican, county committeeman. this week, demanding that the state plank of leadership in the affairs of the 21st district be adopted. They made plain that their reason for making the demand was the fact that the Negroes of the district, representing the largest portion of the Republican strength were ignored in party councils. The petition asking for dual leadership was signed by 1,000 registered voters of the district and headed by: The Rev. William P. Hayes, pastor of the Mt. Olivet church; the Rev. H. C. Bishop, pastor of St. Phillips P. E. church; the Rev. W. W. Brown, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist church; the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist church; the Rev. M. W. Thorton, pastor of Bethel M. M. E church, and the Rev. A. Cullen, pastor of Scalen M. P. church. The 21st district is divided into what is known as the "Hill" or West End, where the white voters live, and the Valley, or East End populated by the politicians. The group presented by the petitioners showed that the Ngo section was materially responsible for the election of Republican candidates last fall. Much of the dissatisfaction has been caused by the appointment of whites from the Hill district to big paying positions and the giving of preference to them in the administration of party affairs. Just recently Robert S. Conklin, a white district leader, was appointed to a $8,000 job while the colored leaders have been ignored. ADDRESSES STUDENTS AT ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY Gordon H. Simpson, Executive Secretary of the Urban League, delivered an address on the subject, "The Negro in St. Louis," before members of the Sociology class of St. Louis University, last Wednesday. The invitation came at the request of Prof. Albert Muntsch, Professor of Sociology, who is desirous of having the students receive first hand information of the problems as faced by the colored population of St. Louis. The speaker outlined the problems of adjusting the steadily increasing colored population of St. Louis along the lines of housing, recreation, education and health. After enumerating the sections in which the colored population was located, and showing the tremendous increase in numbers since 1910 due to the migration from the South, the speaker pointed out the difficulties of securing adequate housing due to the medical plan of segregation sponsored by the Real Estate Exchange and its affiliated "improvement Associations," together with the accompanying abuses due to the control of the housing facilities for the colored population. In closing the speaker urged the students as future leaders of thought and masters of public opinion in their communities to study the whole question of race adjustment is order to intelligently approach this problem. "Each of you," said the speaker, "has a contribution to make to the improvement of race relations through In introducing the speaker Prof. Munsch said: "The social question cannot be fought or bungled thru. It must be thought thrill." Mr. Simpson's reinarks were, once thastically received by the students." BRINGS $75,000 SUIT AGAINST STEAMSHIP CO.

The St. Louis Argus SILENCE OF PRESIDENT ON RACE APPOINTMENTS CAUSES DISSATISFACTION Is Getting On The Nerves Of The People And Press. Voters Are Asking" What Is It All About" Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. April 29- The presidential "honeymoon" is over. The Potomac river flows on quietly to the Chesspeakers Bay and the oceans, while the Washington monument points its granite finger to the sky, but up to this writing, so far as Colored America is concerned, President Obama's word. "It is beginning to get on the nerves of the people and the press; it has been on the nerves of the politicians for several weeks. “Mr. President,” Colored America is asking, “What it all about?” If anyone within speaking distance gets an answer, he has been asked to broadcast it by radio, and not to wait for the weekly output of news which goes from this capital to a waiting world. Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University, took his “pen in hand,” and declared that it is reaggregatable that Colored politicians cannot see anything to get except the regular routine of jobs that have been handed down from administration to administration. “Fact is,” declared Dean Miller, “Colored politicians lack imagination.” To which, the conservative Norfolk Journal and Guild rises to remark that “imagination does not belong to politicians, but to statesmen, and that is why there are so few of them.” There is “something rotten is” Denmark, according to the opinion as expressed to the Associated Negro Press representative here. And, the Colored American declared, “I do believe that Colored America is to delve into the thing and find out where the rottenness exists, for it ‘stinks to high heaven’.” Then he continues further saying: “If you can go anywhere in the civilized world and find a group of fifteen million people who have less national political influence than the Negroes of the United States, I should like to make a visit there, and see what’s wrong with them.” "Fact is, we have little or no national political influence, because we do not have any members in Congress, and we never will have until we again have representation in Congress. Our real influence with the powers that be is so much of a joke, nationally, that it is pitiful. The Negroes of the United States had as their national power as the Negroes of Chicago, for example, not only would we be able to knock out segregation, jim crow cars, get representation in the various departments and stop all of this tom foolery in prejudice here in Washington, but the President would have taken some very definite action in Negro appointments long ago." COOLIDGE APPOINTS NEGRO TO U. S. Q. M. DEPARTMENT LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 23—President Calvin Coolidge, in recognition of the record of Phillip D. Alexander, colored of 1469 E. 22nd St., has appointed him Second Lieutenant Quartermaster in the Officers' Reserve Corps of the U. S. Quartermaster's Department. Alexander is employed by the Los Angeles-Post It was erroneously stated in last week's issue of the Argus, that the dances presented on the program of the Y. W. C. A. Fashion Show, were presented by pupils of the "Mildred P. Franklin Ballet School and the Cleotia M. M. Spotts School of Aesthetic and Ballet Dancing." P. Franklin M. M. Spotts, or her pupils did not take in any dance presented on the program of the Y. W. C. A. Fashion Show given at the Odeon, April 17. Miss. Spotts had absolutely nothing to do with any one of the dances presented. "Enchanted Garden" was 'presented exclusively by pupils of Mildred P. Franklin's Ballet School, arranged by Mesdames Franklin and Bowles. Her dances presented were costumed, directed by dancers, costumes designed by Mrs. Franklin. Mrs. Franklin was able assisted by Miss Elizabeth Lewis, who exhibited unusual ability in her interpretation of the Spring Dance-Echo, also Maid of Lace. Miss Lewis was most cordially received by the audience, who demonstrated their approval and generously playedlaughing throughout the Echo, and with an encope on Maid of Lace. Miss Lewis designed her own costumes. The W. W. C. A. or League of Women Voters had nothing to do with the statement made in last week's Office. Published In The Interest Of Colored People POSTAL SERVICE MEN ASK FOR BETTER JOBS Supervisory Positions In Local Offices Wanted: Also Two More Assistant Chief Clerks. Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. April 29. The request that qualified Colored employees in the post office, service or promoted the supervisory positions in local offices and that two additional men be given positions similar to that occupied by Asst. Chief Clerk John Gainey were the chief politician stressed in a conference which Alonzo L. Gleam, president of the National Alliance of Postal Employees had with Postmaster General New, last week. Mr. Gleam suggested that such recognition should be granted particularly in the larger offices such as Chicago, Louisville; Kansas City, Louisville, Kansas City, Louisville, Kansas City, Atlanta, Memphis and Cincinnati where large numbers of clerks and carriers are now employed. He pointed out that "a great number of young colored men entered the government civil service years ago in preference to choosing profession or business careers and that the more efficient ones in this group aspire to higher places in the classified service. They are anxious to get out of the rut, and their promotion will be an inspiration to other employees as well as the career race, because it will show it is possible to ascend from the ranks and that the present barriers are not immovable" he said. It was suggested that two additional positions be made at Washington of the type of Mr. Gainey who has handled more than as hundred cases calling for special attention and that these two apprentices be confined to service among the letter carriers, laborers and clerks. Representation in the inspection department was attached to Postmaster General New is said to have expressed his active sympathy with the service, ideals and aspirations outlined by Mg. Gloum and states that he would give his immediate attention to the matters presented. SHAKEUP REPORTED IN THE DEFENDER'S STAFF Missuse Of Trusted Funds Said To Be Cause. "Col," Simmons And Phil Jones Caught In Net Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, Ill, April 29. The Chicago Cdefore announced last Thursday, that Phil A. Jones, former general manager, Alfred Anderson, former editorial writer, Roscoe Conkling Simmons, former Columnist and J. Delos Bell, former auditor, are no longer connected with the publication. This information was released after a week of uncertain rumors had swept the city causing considerable speculation as to the cause of so radical an action on the part of the publisher of "The World's Greatest Weekly." No definite statement has been given to the public but gossip about the streets indicates that Robert S. Abbott found a considerable discrepancy in the paper's accusations. It is rumored that the attempt to launder flexitex Magazine the pretentious magazine had its "premiere" last month, primarily responsible for the investigation which disclosed other defalcations. Several of the principals were interested in the magazine. Those who claim to be in position to know say that $100,000 will be the amount involved. Others who likewise claim to share the publisher's confidence state that the amount is greatly exaggerated and that, they will be unable to give any accurate figure as to the sum involved. NEAR RIOT OCCURS IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES, Calif. April 25.—A riot almost resulted here last week when Oscar Engerbretsen, 24, and crowd of whites attacked James Miller, 48, colored, at Nineteenth and Cecilia streets. The interference of several whites and the timely arrival of police are all that prevented a catastrophe. Miller was abused and struck in the jaw by Engerbretsen, a shipping clerk, when he accidentally fell on him, boarding a car. The elderly colored man did nothing, but when Engerbretsen, who was much larger and heavier than he, followed him from the car and attacked him again, he defended himself with a pocket knife, dangerously wounding the white. A gang of whites immediately pursued Miller, who two defended by other citizens until police arrived. /Life is easier for modern wives if the worst happens there are other things they can do besides taking in washing. FISK HEAD'S RESIGNATION IS CONFIRMED Trustees Accept President McKenzie's Resignation To Take Effect At Close Of School Term. NEW YORK, April 29.—The resignation of President, McKenzie was accepted, here, last week by the Board of Trustees of Fisk University of Nashville, Tenn. Thru a vote of the Board the retiring president was allowed an extra year's salary under the form of granting him a year's vacation President McKenzie's resignation will become effective June 30. A temporary administration will run the school until a permanent president is named. President McKenzie's resignation has followed a period filled with student insurrections and demonstrations, and storms of protest against his Czar-like rule over the school. Students Riot Dissatisfaction with McKenzie's administration was brought to the public eye early last November by student uprisings and demonstrations. Conditions grew, particularly on the night of February 4, when a student riot occurred on the campus. As a result of this student action, President McKenzie summoned the police and a riot squad reported, breaking in the doors of the boys' dormitory and putting five students under arrest, charged with rioting and inciting to riot. Eventually, after the boys had been convicted and placed under suspended sentences, President McKenzie withdrew all charges and asked the court to expunge the entire record, thus giving the students a clean bill of health. But in the meantime the student body as a whole gave expression to the rioting by putting effect on an exodus that took place within the entire personnel, leaving the class rooms practically deserted. Some of these pupils returned, being compelled to do so by parents and guardians, or for other reasons, but many of them have either entered other institutions of learning or have stayed out of school altogether pending a settlement of the question as to whether or not President McKenzie would be permitted to remain as the school head. Prejudice Charged It was also charged that McKenzie had permitted himself to come under the influence and control of such racial prejudices as permeate the white South, and that he reflected racial prejudice toward the student body by the resulting up CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT "RACIAL SELF RESPECT" William Pickens, New York City Field Secretary for the N.

INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK IS OPTIMISTIC Negroes Promised New Era With Foreign Labor Being Held Back By Immigration Restrictions. WASHINGTON, D. C. April 29. The importance of the protective tarkt policy and the Allen Exclusion Act in the maintenance of the prosperity of the citizens of the country, and especially that large body represented by the artisans and laborers, which is largely composed of Negroes, was impressed in messages delivered last week by President Calvin Cochlidge, Charles M. Schwab, and Albert H. Gary. Coolidge For Exclusion "Restriction of immigration is nothing less than a revolutionary change from the older day when we boasted that this country offered refuge and opportunity. Liberty and security, to all who desired them. The policy of restriction seemed necessary in view of the certainty that unprecedented numbers would flow to us from Europe following the war; more than we could be sure of assimilating, more than the European countries could well spare. "Had there been no limitations, the number of newcomers among us in the last four years would probably have been several million greater. If we had been called upon to receive and place such a number it may well be doubted whether they would have found their condition here much better than it was in Europe. Certainly many of the helping adjust them to the new nation and the hard competition of such a country would have been far more difficult. "Competent official authorities have estimated that 2,000,000 would have come in four years, or over three times as many as did actually come. We may well doubt that would have been to the advantage of either them or the country." Under the new immigration laws, although the Czechs, Serbs and Croats, Christians, Dalmatians and Bostonians, Italians, Chinese and Japanese, Lithuanians, Poles, Maguar, Rumanians, Russians, Spanish and Turks migrate America in maximum numbers, the conditions of living are much better than they were under the old law. Figures show an increase in the number of foreigners in this country as follows: Hebrews 35,437, German 23,729, Mexican 22,729, Scotch 15,609, English 15,530; Irish 13,749; Norse, Danes and Swedes 11,555; French 9,188; Africans, 4,138; Slavaks, 2,331; Armenians, 2,025; Welsh, 1,035. Promising Outlook An observation made by Charles M. Schwebel and Albert H. Gary in close relation to the present immigration policy, and the protective tariff policy of the country, both of the steel magnates expressed optimism at the future outlook for industrial prosperity. Schwebel declared: "I believe the next twenty years will see the greatest expansion and the greatest accomplishment industry has ever known." Gary asserted that the fundamental conditions are the best that they have ever been in the business history of the country. "Of the steel industry is any incometer of four," Gary stated, "this country has a good business future, which cannot be impaired by any kind of irritation." Thousands of Negroes are employed by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation and the United States Steel Corporation, which make such confidential statements from their chairmen quite significant. NEGRO SLEUTH BREAKS NORFOLK DRUG TRAFFIC NOBFOLK, Va., Apr. 29. Through the clever work of William Clifford, one of the three colored United States Secret Service Agents, in this country, a strong ring of dope peddlers in this city was broken up and ten of its members clifford was ordered to Norfolk by Col. Nutt, head of the narcotic operations of the United States two months ago.

LEGISLATURE FAILED ON THE RURAL SCHOOLS State Supt. Of The Public Schools Tells Of Inequalities In Educational Opportunities In The Rural Districts Of The State. By Chas. A. Lee The Legislature has not and adjourned. It did not pass any legislation bettering the conditions of the rural boys and girls. The rural schools will have to get along during the next two years the best they can. Thousands of boys and girls will be deprived of the right of proper educational advantages. Last year a total of 166 rural schools failed to have an eight months' term, several of them having only two months. In many of our city schools the boys and girls are entitled to go to school ten months in the year for a total of twelve years, or one hundred twenty months of schooling. It would take sixty years for the boys and girls living in these districts, having only two months term to have an opportunity of attending school one hundred twenty Inequality In Educational Opportunities CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT CATHOLICS ORGANIZE TO HELP NEGRO EDUCATION A degree of incorporation for the Peter Claver School Association of the archdiocese of St. Louis is sought in a petition filed yesterday in Circuit Judge Landwacht's court.

Perhaps the youngest attorney to ever be admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court is Counsellor Robert P. Lattimore, a New York Race attorney, whose application was accepted last week after it had been placed before the court by Karl F. Phillips, Commissioner of Conciliation of labor in the Department of Labor. The spectacle of Commissioner Phillips, himself admitted to practice before the Supreme Court, pleading for the admittance of Counsellor Lattimore was a rare one in that it presented a native son of the Empire State. Phillips halls from this city and Westchester County while Lattimore one of the best known young men in New York and Brooklyn. While in Washington Counsellor Lattimore argued successfully in immigration exclusion case before the Appeals Bureau of the Department of Labor. The case saved Ada F.

STANDARD LIFE DIVISIONS LAUNCHES ITS PROGRAM ON PRESERVATION From Atlanta Independent The Negro men in charge of the Standard Life Division of the Southern Insurance Company are working to one common tail, the preservation of the assets of the concern until such a day as business conditions will warrant a company of Colored men taking over the 1,250 shares of Standard Life stock, which places the control in the hands of the Southern Insurance Company. President Harris stated on the day the merger was effected that at any time the Colored people wanted to take the Standard Life stock, that he stood ready to sell it back to them at $12.00 per thousand, and the stock at jar. He repeated this statement at the agent's meeting in this city last week. From the outlook, the casual observer, who studies the responsive outlook of the Colored man in this country, and his loyalty to racial progress, sees it is not going to be a very hard matter for Standard Life to stage a comeback. The company has $250,000.00 in insurance in force; in the home state more than $4,000.00; and it matters not whether Herman Terry fell down or stood up, he organized the greatest organization of commercial workers the race ever produced. The Standard way the pride of the race, and the wise thing for the race to do to preserve it is to assist the Southern Insurance Company in keeping it intact, building up the business with the view of taking up President Harris' illicit prosecution of the earliest possible moment. Standard's friends, policy holders and stockholders have nothing to lose, and if they preserve it they are doing the assets of the company. If it never comes back, our stock will be worth the more and polite policies will be saved, savings account in New York. If we preserve it and stage a comeback the property will be that more valuable, and will render the race a greater service, so we cannot be here by vigilance, conservation and the MISS HAZEL RARRISON (Chicago) In Joint-Recital at Poro College Tuesday, May 5th, 8:00 P.

In service, we have lost nothing, so far, in employment and management of the concern, we have lost nothing, and the company daily is coming back to liquidating conditions. The company is being hired and invested among Colorado people, and what we want to do is to preserve the assets of the company by holding the business we have and by writing new business with an eye always single to Standard Life coming back to the rare 100 per cent better than it was when the Southern Insurance Company came to its rescue, and saved it from utter ruin. We have everything to gain by preservation and everything to be by destruction. It will be an easy matter for the Negro business men of this country to raise the necessary money at the proper time, and take back for the race the greatest commercial organization ever launched and operated by Negro men and women. COLUMBUS PREPARING FOR IMMIGRATION INFLUX COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 28.—With the opening of spring and the industrial activity and prosperity that everybody is expecting there will be a large influx of colored people into Columbus, is the belief of a committee of citizens composed of professors of history, sociology of Ohio State University and representative colored citizens here. Problems of employment, housing, recreation and association, underlie the problem of crime, the committee said. This committee presented a plan to the Safety Director of Columbus, J. P. McCune and the Chief of Police Harry E. French, asking for assignment of colored personnel to primarily a social worker, who would represent city authority as a guide rather than enforcement of law. This friendly officer, would make connections with the agencies that would be most helpful, and it would be his duty to build up organizations of friendly citizens in each local community. Organizations considerable emphasis will be placed upon securing employment for the migrants. Negro. Director McCune and Chief French appointed Leslie M. Shaw, a man who unde an entitle record as a traffic officer in Columbus, to do this special piece of work. This phase of handling the problem in connection with the infirmities of groves wage plague into infantry than the instigation of the Columbus Urban League of which N. B.

McEVOY Hello, Mabel. Hello, Amatee I was on my way to the phone to tell you that I am plan- ning to have my hair, bobbed. Why, Mabel, is am utterly sur- prised and I must confess, disap- pointed in you. What on earth are your objections, Auntie? You must confess it is the style and old and young are having it done. Yes, Marbel. I know it is the style with some people, but to my mind, the public, generally, condemning it, many mothers do not approve of it, many businessmen are obsessed haired girl, some schoolfroons on the bobbed haired teacher and some churches refuse, absolutely, to permit those whose hair is bobbed to sing in the choir. Surely, this means something, my dear child, and your auntie does not believe it becoming to you. Auntie, I don't see why the bobbed hair should, be a hindrance if one is qualified. Quite naturally you do not, since your mind is made up to bob yours, but reasonably for us all, people do not think alike. Business people claim that a woman loses that dignified appearance, that one in public life should have. Again, they feel that women, who jump at every ing the statement of the 7-year old daughter, of EZ H. Hurgock, alleged "wooden doctor" The girl told the police he had slept and killed a woman and tarried her, under his house. The charge of murder under which the "doctor" was jailed for more than a week was dropped, and a man made a false report "placed against him." He was released under a $200 bond. The bones and bodies found on Hurgock's premises were "some specimens that the "wooden" doctor received from physicians. American Legion Notes Illinois State Bonus Claims Unapproved A number of executive men who were residents of the State of Illinois at the time of the East St. Louis city, and who left East St. Louis out of fear for their personal safety, although they registered for the draft in Illinois and answered the call for military service of an Illinois Draft Board have been unable to collect the Illinois State Bonus on account of not giving the Service Recognition Board the proper information when application was made for the bonus. The attention of State Representative John G. Spellman was called to this matter by the commander of Californi Hydie Post 1914, American Legion, and Representative Spellman took immediate action, and inquiry is now being made as to the status of these claims, which have been held by the Service Recognition Board at Springfield, Illinois. When information is received, Representative Spellman will give his personal attention and service to the men who come in this class, with a view to see that their claims are paid. A conference is called for Sunday, May 3, at 2:35 Market street, at 2 p. in All men who are eligible for the Illinois or Missouri State Bonus, and have not received the surrender are urged to attend.

Whoever named these painted face and bobbed haired women flappers, had this in mind, because the word "flapper" is defined as a young wild duck. What about the old ones who do it, Auntie? To my mind. Mabel, the sadest sight one can ever hope to see is an grown child carrying around a painted face with her hair bobbed. Of course, in a case of this kind, we know it is a struggle to recall youth as much as possible and if you only saw them going and not coming it would be a success. The Good Book says, "If a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her." Young folks are fickle, we expect them to be, but when one is matured in years, we expect them to put away things we have in mind, but it is later and I must stop, but perhaps will talk later. All right. Auntie, now I don't believe I will have my hair, my bobbed, since listening to your argument against it. You know I rely on your advice, always, because you are among the same, and conservative ones left. Good-bye, Amicie. Good-bye, Mabal. MADAM L. 30YER Experienced hair dresser, first class service.

PAGE FOUR IDA COX HEADS AN ALL-STAR VAUDEVILLE AT THE BOOKER Ida Cox, the Paramount record star, is star feature on an all-star vaudeville bill at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. Miss Cox is singing "Georgia Bound," "Married Man," and "Cherry picking Blues." She makes a big hit with the audience. Her piano accompanist Jesse Crump" also sings and plays "The Moon Man" and renders his own instrumental rag composition. Green and Bailey, man and woman, both working under cork, are the curtain raisers. They put over a line of talk etiquette and indulge in sarcastic passes. Their songs include "Your Mammy's Chocolate Soldier," "Wonderful, and of Ease" and "I Left My Old Kentucky Home For You." Jennings and Reid, a classy musical team from the "Chocolate Dandles," use the banjo and saxophone for their instrumental basis. They open with "Swanee River" in a banjo duet and score their first hit. They follow with "Ease on Back To My Mammy," in song and dance. Mr. Jennings fills the house with music playing "Wanda" and "When You and I Were Young," on the banjo repeating the latter melody in syncopation. Miss Reid renders a medley on the saxophone and the team follows with a medley of "Chocolate Dandles" melodies, with dance movements and leaves the audience clamoring for more. Little Bit and Yonder are third on the bill. This is a good song and dance team and the female member is a tiny Edition but a big entertainer. They open with "Mandy Make Up Your Mind" - singing and dancing; followed with the "Ghost of the Blues" dance by the man. Little Bit Bit does some sensational dancing and Yonder puts over "Shine" with good effect. Their closing in "Memphis Bound" is a whirlwind of dancing.

The story tells of the son of a wealthy and proud family who, against his father's wishes, marries a man from San Francisco in San Francisco society. He is practically exiled in a tropical island, where he manages his father's rubber plantations. In contrast with the beautiful picture of the married life of this rich boy and his "undesirable" wife is shown the unhappy home of a successful business man and the wife whom he neglects in his pursuit of success. The scenes, shifting from the gay haunts of San Francisco's night life to a raindrenched, fever-infested land of the tropics, provides a variety of setting solidum found in motion pictures.

NEW YORK, N. Y. April 29. The Andrew Bishop company of Lafayette Players has very definitely broken with the T. O. B. A., and Bishop has undertaken to revive dramatic interest with the patrons of the Avenue Theatre, Chicago. It seems that he is slowly arousing interest and each week has seen an improved business. The public has been very well pleased with the shows offered, and the company is credited with presenting some very finished performances. Evelyn Preer, Edward Thompson, Harelid Hale, Abe Decobenthier, Chas. Modre and Arlington Porter, former members of the No. 2 company, have been added to the cast. The Kirkpatrick and Zadie Jackson have long been with the company, so one may readily perceive that it is a strong company. Competition, however, is keen in the Chicago field, for the Ida 'Anderson company has been contracted to play opposition at the Indiana Theater. Inquiries by mail and wire to New York indicate that she is augmenting her company with some expensive talent. The Grand Titulaire, the competitive house on the circuit, is presenting some coring good bills. So Bishop will require all his resource and courage.

L. Garvin, the local representative of that company. We congratulate the little fellow, his father or who ever may have been responsible for this thirty affair. At the same time we cannot refrain from again directing the attention of his elders in the profession to the intellect and forehandedness that is being disliked by a youngster to bark breeches. Here is a youngster whose future is assured. Three years hence that policy will have a loan value and a cash surrender value both of which will increase with the years. Should business opportunity come to him, there is a capital reserve with which he handle it. Should adversity cross his mind, he should easily converted into cash with which to meet the emergency.

Some of these last winter were too vain to walk to a railway station, were vainly spending their money in showy ways. No measure of protection for even the near future was taken. For such as these Sammy should become a guide. NEW THEATRE IN LOUISVILLE NEW YORK, N. Y., April 29—Chas. N.

Now You Know ~ Read Carefully MADAM C.J.WALKER'S A trip around the world is without doubt the greatest experience one's lifetime can provide. The enjoyment and exhilaration of adventure into the far-away places of the earth, to its ancient cities and among its strange peoples, can never be forgotten. Often have you wished for the opportunity to see the pageantry of the world from the modern progressive West to the ancient sluggish East. Thoughts of such a trip have no doubt charmed you and allured you as the one thing necessary to climax your education, your ambition and your achievement. Your estimation of a trip around the world is correct. Such a trip is comparable to nothing, and is quite the most enjoyable and broadening course of study that one might pursue. But alas, a trip around the world is expensive. Indeed, exceedingly so, and far beyond the immediate reach of many. This fact and the daily economic struggle have caused many to abandon hope of ever realizing the desire of their lives—to tour the world. But don't despair. "Where there's a will, there's a way" to yet realize your dream, your wish, your long, long yearning—a trip around the world. Listen,—Revelation of the Orient and the Occident in all their grandeur is yours if you would have it! "Deciding you will go", is being half way there.

Black Sox Loom Up, All Set For Banner Year Sam Bennett, former manager of the St. Louis Stars and veteran catcher, joins up with the reorganization of the Black Sox baseball club, and a squad of new coverters to his lineup, and appears to be set for a summer year. During their workout at the Stars' park Tuesday, A. McFarland and Eddy Doolly, showed good form as bursters for the Black Sox. Hard-hitting Bennett will take his place behind the bat, Joe Hewitt, the footed pitcher, will occupy the short stop position, Arthur Jones, another young bullhawk, will play second base. At the far corner Dick Wallace, a veteran, is stationed, another Oscar Huff Award in his sensational catcher, at first base. Three hard sluggers with steel arms compose the outfield. They are Charley Zoumpier, C. Casey and Sydney Brooks. The Ripkick Sox will open the season Sunday in an Illinois, town. "Not making any predictions, but the Sox will be heard from this season," declared Manager Bennett. SPORT FLASHES By MOSE L. HERRING The Stars had an easy time of it Sunday when they met the Milwaukee Giants. It was a good "lot" game—the score ended 23 to 1 in favor of the Stars. Wells and Russell were easily the swat heroes of the game. Wells hit two home runs, two triples and one single. While Russell garnered one home run, one triple and two singles. They say that an athlete is through at about 38 years, but old man Zhysko proved the falsity of such statements when he regained the championship in wrestling at 54 years of age. One of the features of the Howard University Track meet in the National City will be DeLafort Hubbard, world champion Broad Jumper. Neal Gourdin, formerly of Harvard, will lead the Boston relay team. Both boys are colored. Kid Norfolk is trying to prove to the Boxing Commissioners in California that his eyes are O. K. The commissioners are barring him on account of bad eyesight. Tex Rickard says just as he was about to mask Jake Dempsey, with Harry Wilts, he received a bag of letters from organizations unknown that they would not support a bout of this kind. (Some Bank!) The Stars need training especially the pitchers. Ross hit what should have easily been a home run Sunday but he was forced to stop at third (out of wind). Fans say to see a Base Ball game when they pay admission to the Stars park, and not a circus stunt as Bobo pulled Sunday when he ran from second through the 'pitcher's box home on Greece's double. Saturday will be Alabama day at Stars park when the league opens here with the Birmingham Black Barons on hand for a five game series with the Stars. Grade Schools In Hot Race For Baseball Championship The second series of the colored Elementary Schools, Baseball Tournament, played this week, placed L.

The Broomer Tailors, St. Louis Colored Industrial League champions of 1921, journeyed to Jeff City last Sunday and beat the Monkawks 5 to 4, before a crowd estimated at 2000. The Broomers made two runs in the first on a walk, by Welch, Graves triple and a single by Cox. The Monkawks then took the lead and light it until near the end. Jackson walked Welb and Walls, and Cox drove them across, with a base line. Walls weakened in the 4th and was relieved by Tony, who held the Jeff City boys without a run. Boswell handled the pitchers nicely. His peping stopped every runner going to second. The Broomer Tailors are open for games. L. R. Broomer, Phone Lindell 365, s manager.

Malcolm Hannon, Filipino winner of first place in the Indianapolis 100 mile auto derby last year, filed last week with Harry W. Dunnington, manager of the Indianapolis Colored Speedway. Association, to enter the 50 mile auto race at Louisville, May 23, on the State Fair ground tracks. Hannon refused to divulge the make of the car he will drive but declared it was capable of making 110 miles per hour. The leading Negro drivers of the country are listed among the other entries. They Include: Bill Carson (winner of Chicago's 1924 Auto Derby). Robert Wallace, Bill Buckner, "Longshot" Jack Sergent and B.

Paul Journey, the French heavyweight who was Georges Carpentier's partner in the United States. The fight was held in Paris, Wednesday. The referee stopped the fight in the second round to save Journey from a knockout. George Godfrey, Dempsey's former sporting partner, who has been creating quite a stir among the ranks of the heavyweights by his recent victories, is scheduled to fight Bartley Madden, one time heavyweight championship contender in San Francisco, next Saturday, May 9. Jack Renault, Canadian heavyweight, has been matched to meet Godfrey at a later date. If Godfrey is victorious in these two battles, although he has not been considered a logical contender for Dempsey's heavy C weight crown, it will place him in a position to challenge the champion with an assurance of being heard.

The promoters was that, in as much foundation of all people, it was fit for the week during the year, a special time, stimulate and encourage Negro illuminate business. On the part of the Negroes in St. Louis this time. The need of more art, we all admit readily; but this helps to help bring about a change in Trade Week, let us make the occult churches. A supreme effort should be paid with the business and profession. You will offer an excellent opportunity and women to "do their bit" in helping it. The charge was made, at a recent time, that many of our professional time with the business places of the women get their entire support free. Do not know whether this is true indictment. It shows the lack of effort. Some of the ministers of the city in the interest of Negro business, sacredness of their pulpits, yet, we are not only a chance to sit and gets a hearty send-off, but not to be the case. Such concern in the minds of the business and who are members of the church, that self help is the best help. It matters, by helping the business men do nearly helping themselves. We do not business and professional men and women, but we are reliably informed their infancy, (comparatively speaking) men and women are the back-bones that get the support and hearty courage long the "rallies," and church people appear, and the churches be part business side, and a spiritual one. If these facts are, and the apparent cannot but wonder what is the man who come out of our schools, see that the call for mutual cooperation isers, even one, turn a deaf ear? Natural leaders of the people, it see the many subjects to be discussed by three months, attention might be the ministers of every church in just as well be advised about making them are advised about the phi Sunday. We thought along this line should be this condition and Trade Week is an splendid opportunity we have of her. Such a step, on the part of the Negroes in St. Louis, is highly commendable at this time. The need of more and bigger businesses among us, we all admit readily; but the question is: What are we doing to help bring about a change in this condition? During Trade Week, let us make the occasion like a "revival" in the churches. A supreme effort should be made to get better acquainted with the business and professional men of the race. The occasion will offer an excellent opportunity for the professional men and women to "do their bit" in helping the business men and women. The charge was made, at a recent meeting of the local league, that many of our professional men and women never spend a dime with the business places of the race, yet those same men and women get their entire support from members of the race. We do not know whether this is true or not, but, if true, it is a sad indictment. It shows the lack of common sense and forethought. Some of the ministers of the city have refused to say a word in the interest of Negro business, hiding behind the pretext of sacredness of their pulpits, yet, when a politician comes around, he is not only given a chance to speak, but is accorded the pulpit and gets a hearty send-off by the pastor, Brethren. this ought not to be the case. Such conduct cannot but create a question, in the minds of the business and professional men and women who are members of the church. It is said that self help is the best help. It does seem to us that the ministers, by helping the business men and women of the race, are surely helping themselves. We do not know just to what extent the business and professional men and women support the churches, but we are reliably informed that even now, while yet in their infancy, (comparatively speaking), the business and professional men and women are the back-bone of the churches. If they could get the support and hearty co-operation of the ministers, before long the "rallies," and church parties, and such things would disappear, and the churches be put on a business basis on the business side, and a spiritual basis on the spiritual side. As plain as these facts are, and the apparent need of this cooperation, one cannot but wonder what is the matter. The boys and the girls, who come out of our schools, see that there is something wrong. The call for mutual cooperation is loud and long. Will the ministers, even one, turn a deaf ear? As the natural leaders of the people, it seems that while thinking over the many subjects to be discussed on Sunday, at least once every three months, attention might be called to Negro businesses by the ministers of every church in the city. The people might just as well be advised about making money, and saving money, as they are advised about the plate and envelope collection every Sunday. Just a little thought along this line should serve as a means of changing this condition, and Trade Week is but a gentle reminder of the splendid opportunity we have of helping ourselves. CURATORS' RESPONSIBILITY of Curators of Lincoln University and the colored people of the state May 4. It will be the duty of that ln is to continue along the lines loc al accredited university, or which level of a political football as it has politicians are at work, and are l get control of the school by all kin The Board of Curators of Lincoln University will face a solemn duty toward the colored people of the state when it meets next Monday, May 4. It will be the duty of that board to decide whether Lincoln is to continue along the lines looking forward to becoming a real accredited university, or whether it is to retrograde to the level of a political foot-ball as it has been for many years. Designing politicians are at work, and are losing no time in their efforts to get control of the school by all kinds of wire pulling. They have their agents out spreading propaganda of the sort which appeals to a certain class of white people of the state who believe that the Negro youth are only entitled to a certain kind of education. The sad part about this condition is, that there are Negroes who are leaders, who are in the forefront in peddling this kind of propaganda. We have always believed in the right of any person to believe what he pleases and to act according to his belief, but, in a case of this kind, we cannot, but believe that such a person is either ignorant or dishonest. The new board, therefore, should look carefully into the whole situation before a change in the head of Lincoln is made. We know that it is customary for a new executive of the state to make certain changes in the heads of many departments under him, but those changes are regarded, and accepted as purely political. When it comes to the educational institutions, however, all administrations have been slow to make changes because it always takes time to work out a program, and, too, no man would like to accept a position of such importance, and be compelled to spend half of his time watching the political manoeuvers, and the other half of his time building an institution. It so happens, that there are three colored men on the board. Much, of course, will be expected of them in the way of giving expressions of the hopes and aspirations of the colored people of the state. Their position, no doubt, will, in the final analysis, decide the kind of college the Negroes may expect at, the hands of the state. If they set their approval on the change, political foot-ball policy, for our state university, most likely will be established. If the boys and girls of the race suffer because the state has failed to provide the proper kind of education; if the poor parents are compelled to send their boys and girls to other states to acquire higher education; if, by their acts, on next Monday, Lincoln University suffers a set-back in its onward march to higher things for the youth of the race, the Board of Curators, and especially the Negro members, must take the responsibility. The mayoralty election is over and the grand rush for the pie counter is on. Already some of the Negroes who are supposed to have "influence" with Mayor Miller, have got a bad case of "swell head." We are told that it requires more red tape to see them than it does to see the mayor himself. Do not set your heart upon these things, brethren; for "pride goeth before a fall." There is, as a rule, little difference between the "ins" and "outs;" the "ins" are fighting to stay in, while the "outs" are fighting to get in. PAGE EIGHT The S. P.U. ST. LOUISIANA 2312-14 N S.

BUSINESS AND RELIGION THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1925 MUSIC, ART, DRAMA AND LITERATURI By RICHARD JACKSON Robert A. Green, writing for the Omaha Monitor of a recent date, dealt with the Negro's appreciation for beauty in a sincere and schoolly tone, that quite convinced one that the Race is keenly possessed with this noble trait. He showed that the Negro, as all other races, had a fondness for the artistic side of life, and gave free expression to the same in his interests and practices in the fine arts, as well as in the beautiful things in his ordinary everyday life. "One of the greatest variations from truth is a statement which in any way denies that the Negro is keenly a lover of beauty," he wrote. "To deny that is also to deny that he is endowed with an aesthetic sense. Is the Negro lacking in this endowment? Has he a lack of apprehension, music, drama, poetry and the other fiter arts? Has nature no hardure to the beauty of the cloth? Is he still contented to live in the old log cabin of 'ante-bellum' days rather than a modern home, made beautiful with all that nature and man have devised for comfort? "In A Handbook of Literary, Criticism by William Sharon, the aesthetic sense is defined as 'Our faculty, or power, of appreciating the beautiful, whether in the physical, moral or intellectual order. Lessing, describes it as our faculty of appreciating these meals which art externalizes and renders concrete.' In the same treatise the author states: The aesthetic sense is as innate to man as lifts physical sense of taste or touch, and it is quite as universal. The love of beauty is peculiar to no individual or group of individuals, but to all alike. 'We love the work of Chaucer because we see in it the beauty of nature. Throughout all his works we see the beauty of human nature. There is beauty in his rustic charm. All his usenames are laid on country roads, in country tuns, amid what we term today, the clod-hoppers. Not in all America is there a race which has been so successful on the farms as the Negro. The wealth of the South, the laborers of the Negro, both as freeman and a slave. He loves the open, the breezes which cool him in the midst of the beautiful green. His love for beauty has made him the successful agriculturist that he is. "Landscape gardeners are among us by the score. As I sit at my desk I have a most vivid picture of Kelly Miller, dean of Junior College Department, Howard University, amidst the beautiful flowers in his arent own window, even look out my window and see at work in his yard Father John Albert Williams. Neither of these men, one the dean of the junior college department in one of the great universities in America, and an eminent sociologist, the other a priest in the protestant Episcopal church, has had training as a landscape gardener, is its natural for them to love landscapes, and is one of them, were. Among us are those whose work as landscape gardeners keeps them in demand the whole season of spring. "Interior decorators and architects are not strange within our group. A canvases of the larger universities the world over will disclose the fact that hundreds of our group have gone out from their schools of fine arts. Countless others are still in training. Howard university, Washington, D. C. our own, has a wonderful school of fine arts liberally attended by our group." "Paul Laurence Dunbar and James Ephriam McCurt have done for the Negro in verse an invaluable deed. They have made a literature, distinctly American, yet peculiar to the Negro alone. His feelings, his optimistic nature have been bared to the world in verses of these two great poets. Phyllis Wheatley, as far back as the time of General Washington was, writing poetry that countered to a special art form but was good industry with all the beauty that is to be looked for in verse. Her best may be seen in her work "To His Excellency, General Washington." "On the stage we may, glory in the fame of a Bert Williams, who pleased discriminating theatre goers on two continents. His smile and good nature made the world forget that he was a Negro and remember that he was a man. Nor could it be said that he was different from any one of his race. Charles Gilpin was a discriminating group that Bert was not the only possible colored actor to please the public on the stage. "Shuffle Along and Runnin': Wild, both musical comedies, had tremendous successes all over the earth and some of America's best theatres. Entire companies produce and acce plays for the cinema. "In the field of music, the most noble and sublime of all arts, of which the Bible speaks more than once, the Negro has made rapid strides. So successful has he been in this much appreciated art that his has been conceded the only original music of which America can boast. Nor is the range limited. Negro music onches emotions wherever presides, presides, presides, language of the immortal Puritan poet; Milton, the spiritualists for II Pensurose; jazz for L'Allegro Characters like Burleigh. Clarence Cameron White, Kessie and Mamie Smith, and a score of others have brought this out from our population right here in America. "As a race, we are endowed with a keen sense of the beautiful. As men our love for beauty* carries us to no more extremes than does the love of 'any other race.' For Leasing has said that the aesthetic sense is a universal one. The primary col- tions we have to admire etc. attract all men alike. The Negro loves art, literature and music. He has reached fame in all these endowers. He has done so well in one of them that the whole Ameri- Playwrights have an excellent opportunity in a $500 offer made by the Committee of Education and Religious Drama of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ for the best religious play of *social* significance.

The Opportunity Magazine will announce the winners of its $500 library contest at a dinner in New York City today, which will culminate the first experiment of a Race journal to discover and honor Negro writers of ability on a large scale. VIRGINIANS FIGHT TO SAVE HISTORIC SCHOOL MANANNAS, Va., April 29. The Manassas, Virginia Industrial School for Negroes, founded many years ago by Miss Jennie Dean, is staging a desperate struggle for survival today. The Manassas is at present under a $20,000 mortgage, which must be raised by May 30. If the school is able to clear itself of financial incumbrance through a bill already offered in the State Legislature, it will be taken over, and congealed into a state normal and industrial school. With such chances for another race normal school in Virginia, which at present operates only one, and with hires of saving the historic old institution from going under the blammer, the colored citizens of Virginia have united in a vigorous campaign to raise the necessary $20,000 to clear the school's debt. NEWSPAPERS ARE AID TO HELPFUL RACE RELATIONS Counsections newspapers of the country have done and are doing more to foster the proper spirit between races than any other one agency, according to a report on the work of the Race Relations Department of the St. Louis Committee Council submitted by Miss Bertha Howell, assistant director of the organization. Students and faculty members in colleges and universities are given as the second greatest factor in bettering interracial relations, with the added explanation that students appear more eager to bring about a more healthy relationship than were their parents. Other factors making for a better understanding were mentioned as interchange of competent instructors in educational institutions and intergalial conferences. The question of Negro membership in labor unions which was discussed at the National Interracial Conference in Cincinnati recently, was developed by the biracial movement in personel management of modern industry. YONKERS WILL HONOR FIRST COLORED OFFICER VOKNERS, N. Y., April 29, 1949 15 will be a big day for the colored citizens of Vokners, for this day has been set aside to honor, the first colored patrolman the city has ever had. Besides all of the fraternal, religious and civic societies, the chief public officials of the town are co-operating in extending the citizens' respect and esteem to Police Officer Thomas Brooks. The affair will be centered in a diner at the new Armory. WAITER 67, KNOWN TO FOUR PRESIDENTS AND MANY LEADERS, RETIRES NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 29. The entire city is lauding the record of Willis Walton Banks, a 67-year old ex-slab, who in his 33 years as head waiter at three of the South's most famous hotels, has come in contact with scores of the country's greatest figures. Banks was the subject of a conversation about town, an account of the aged Negro's career, was given considerable space in the newspapers of the city. Banks, during the past 33 years, has worked at the Battle House, Mobile; the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans; and the local Maxwell House. For 25 years he lived in the 20-day street worked at the Maxwell House for a wage of $60 a month. Recently Banks celebrated his period of employment with the Maxwell House by looking over treasured autographs and other keepsakes in memory of the many notables whom he had served. Among his collection were passages among autograph cards by Whitcomb Riley, Edwin Booth, Lawrence Barrett, John McCullough, Joseph Jefferson, Kate Claxton, Emma Abbott, Madame Adelina Patti, Roland Reid, Milton Nobles, Mrs. Frank Leslie who played in the "Froth of Society" and Henry George, champion of the Single Tax, James O'Nell who received the Banks two tickets to his performance in New Orleans in 1892 and Banks still treasures them. He has the card of Marie Greenwood of the Marie Greenwood Opera Company, and the celebrated James Young. He is also the proud possessor of a pass to Robinson's circus signed by John P.F. Robinson himself. I had one that Sousa gave me, the same to play at the Ryman. Auditorium last year I went down and presented it to him. said Banks, the other day as he called to mind some of his experiences in the hotels. "He was glad to get it and remembered the day he gave it to me, he said." Active Despite 39 Years Although 85 years old, Hanks is as active as he was when head waiter at the Maxwell House from 1896 to 1916, and the fact that his brain is just as alert as then is borne out by the list of books he keeps over his desk at his home. A well-thumbed Dictionary of Facts and a Dictionary of the Bible are within easy reach, and above the shell is a copy of "The American Creed." Banks was on a plaque on the children's house. His mother lapped school, but has two children who finished Flisk University. He retired from the Maxwell-House a short time ago to spend the remainder of his days in fond reminiscence. INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN AT D. C., MAY 4 WASHINGTON, D. J. C. April 29.—The Sixth Quinquennial Convention will meet in Washington, May 4 to 14, at Washington Auditorium, corner of New York avenue and 19th street. The Marchioness of Aberdeen is president of the International Council of Women of North America, president of The National Council of Women of the U. S. A. The International Council was formed in Washington in 1838 for the purpose of promoting unity and mutual understanding between all associations of women working for the common good of humanity. It is made up of National Councils of countries and has a membership of forty-two. The National Council of the United States includes forty-two. National Organizations, with a membership of twelve million women. Each country has ten delegates and ten alternates. The special delegates at the Norway meeting in 1920 were not given 'delegates' places at this meeting. Since Mrs. Mary B. Talbert was delegate, and Dr. Mary Waring was alternate to Norway, our National Association will not have delegate places. At the National meeting in Chicago last August, $500 was contributed toward the expenses of the inauguration to ten seats. The president, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune will be one and will distribute these tickets. Special seats will be assigned to all individuals as patrons who give $100. Miss Hallie Q. Brown has been a life patron of the Quinquennial.

FORD'S AGRICULTURAL PROJECT TO AID NEGRO SAVANNAH, Ga., April 22 — Negro labor in the South is eagerly looking forward to a new outlet that will soon be opened here with the beginning of work on Henry Ford's recently purchased 9000 acre plantation, which he will use in various agricultural pursuits. The investment represents an outlay of over $156,000. Ford is declared to be contemplating on using Negro labor to develop his vast acreage in Georgia, as he did with a large rubber plantation he bought last year in Liberia, through its colored U. S. Minister, Solomon P. Hood. The U. S. venture is expected to employ hundreds of Negroes at something like the lucrative wages that Ford is accustomed to paying according to a statement by E. G. Liebock, general secretary, to Mr. Ford, the land in Georgia will be used for the purpose of growing rubber, if experiments now being conducted are successful. He intimated that the supply of Negro labor in that vicinity was a factor in inducing Mr. Ford to make the purchase. FIGHT AGAINST DENVER'S SCHOOL SEGREGATION DENVER, Cole, April 23 — A fight against segregation practices in the local schools was started here last Friday, when a suit was filed in the district court by the parents of three local Race high school students who had suffered discriminations. The suit was in behalf of Mildred Jones, of Morey Junior High and Doris Jenkins and Francis Ross of the Manual Training High school. The order for separate school functions, in March, 1924, it is alleged, Francis Ross and Doris Jenkins have been prevented from enjoying the social functions of the school, while Milfred Jones has been deprived of taking swimming lessons at Morey High. They have been deprived of their rights, contrary to the provisions of the state constitution, and the constitution of the United States. NORTHERN CONFERENCES BACKING M.E. UNIFICATION CHICAGO, Ill., April 29—Reports given out by the Methodist Episcopal Church headquarters here show how the 23 conferences of the M. E. Church have thus far, have voted for unification. The Northern church has 32 spring conferences and 78–conferences which meet next fall. Of the spring conferences, 23, including New York East, the Wyoming of Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, North Indiana, and Troy of Massachusetts conferences the five that voted today have favored unification by large majorities. Conferences which voted previously were those of Bengal, India, Upper Mississippi, North Andes, Mission, South Florida, Chill, Mexico, Florida, Kansas, New Jersey, Southwest Kansas, Central Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Louisiana, Newark, N. J., Phila de'华, Wilmington, Del., England Southern and Baltimore. RACE SCHOOLS TAKE PART IN VIRGINIA CONFERENCE BEDFORD, Va. Apr. 29—Three of the leading colored schools of Virginia were involved in the annual meeting of the State Y, M, C, A, at the Angle Orchards Camp here last week. It was the first time that Race representatives have ever been invited to attend the conference at which all of the white institutions of higher learning in Virginia are represented. the freedom and sincerity with which the problems of race were discussed and the stand taken by the young white men who had been achieved, will bring a new day in race relations in Virginia. LEGISLATURE FAILED ON THE RURAL SCHOOLS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE least counties of the state and the counties having the smallest number of high schools and the smallest en- rollment are the poorest counties. We cannot say that the wealthier sections are more interested in educa- tion than are the less wealthy sections. If we were to judge by the school levy the reverse would be true. The average school levy in some of the different counties in the wealthier sections last year was as follows: Andrew, Atchison, and Caldwell, 38c; Knox, Ray, Saline and Carroll, 35c; Audrain and Boone 39c; Cole 31c and St. Charles 26c. The average school levy in some of the different counties in the Ozark region last year was as follows: Texas 64c; Taney 72c; Washington, 62c; Wayne 60; Shannon 86c; Scott, Lacee and Caden 74c and Christian 68c. At the press time sections doing about all they did, we adequate high school facilities. It is the duty of the entire state to see that every child in the state has good opportunities. If I lived in a remote Ozark region, the state would spend thousands of dollars, if necessary, to protect me and my family in my right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but would not spend very much to educate my children. It is as much a duty of the state to educate its children for citizenship as it is to protect them in their rights as citizens. The people of Missouri recently adopted amendment No. 5 by an unprecedented majority. By voting this measure we have adopted the principle that the wealth of the entire state will be used to help build roads in those localities that are not able locally to build the ronds. St. Louis and Kansas City will pay a large path toward the system, but none of this money will be spent in St. Louis and Kansas City. here are many counties in the state that would never have had good roads because those counties did not have sufficient wealth to build them. Sooner or later we must adopt the same principle for public education. In other words, it should be the duty of the entire state to see that every boy and girl in the state has proper educational opportunities and that no boy or girl state is denied such educational opportunities because he or she happens to live in a remote section of the state that is not able to finance a good middle school system. The boys and girls of Missouri are its greatest assets. The kind of state we have today was determined in large measure by the type of educational facilities we co-aged twenty, for twenty-five years ago, and the type of citizenship we have twenty or twenty-five years from now will be determined in large measure by the type of education, we have in the next few years. The boys and girls in the country are not getting a square deal. This is not because the country people are not as much interested in public education as the city and town people are, but is due to the type of organization that exists in the country. Not a single measure tending- to improve the rural schools of the state in the way of better organization or administration has been enacted in seventy-five years with one exception, and that was in 1900 when the law making possible county supervision was enacted, and as result of that law in each county in the state at the present time we have a county superintendent devoting his or her time to the supervision and administrative work pertaining to the rural schools in the county. If the rural schools are ever improved we will have to put away our prejudices and past tastes in order to adapt the boys and girls of the state and enact a law that will give the boys and girls in the country a square deal in life. PORO COLLEGE OPENS ANOTHER SUPPLY STATION Mrs. Annie M. Malone, Founder, Receives Welcome In "City Of Brotherly Love" Ninth Station Established Within A Year. BY CARY B. LEWIS PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April 23—Mrs. Annie Malone, St. Louis, Mo., founder of Poro College, the directing genius of the successful business of beautifying women, and who has 100,000 agents throughout the country operating the Poro system, was given a royal welcome to this city on Sunday morning.

A.; Mrs. Willie Layton of the Association for the Protection of Girls; Mrs. Lena Trent Gordon of the Legal Aid Bureau; Mrs. Maud Rossette, social worker and Dr. Evie Van Dyke, principal splenoid tribute to Mrs. Malone and introduced her to the Philadelphiaans. In responding, Mrs. Malone thanked them for their generous welcome and loyal support and happily stated that while Poro was a beauty culture business that the institution stood for service; encouraged thrift and industry; to awaken latent forces and to aspire to higher things through the inculcation of ideals of personal neatness, pride, physical and mental cleanliness. The opening of Poro Substation in this city marks the ninth station in the past year. Mrs. M. R. Kelly, a graduate of Poro College is demonstrator. The parkers serve the trade and supply agents with goods. FISK HEAD'S RESIGNATION IS CONFIRMED CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE of rules, that were based on race discrimination. The first outspoken evidence of this condition was contained in a speech delivered before the Alumni Association during the 1924 commencement season by Dr. W. E. B. DuBols of New York, an alumnus of the school, in which was set forth a resume of the student grievances. This speech created a sensation and started the movement which has culminated in the getting out of President McKenzie. A campaign was immediately inaugurated by the Alumni Association having as its slogan, "McKenzie Must Go." and the Fisk Club of Greater New York, with Dr. E. R. Alexander, Mrs. Alexander, Dr. E. M. V. Bottle, Mrs. Boutte, Dr. DuBols and Rev. Dr. H. H. Proctor, and a number of others lending their influence and activity to the cause, took a leading part in the effort to get rid of the present objectionable conditions at the school. An alumnel committee was named to commit to a conference and a meeting was held at Fikg University, Nashville on February 16. Nothing definite was accomplished at this meeting, according to reports given out, and the matter was really held up until Chairman Paul I. Cravath of the board returned to this country from a foreign trip. Chairman Cravath returned a few days ago, and speedy action followed. The joint committee, made, up of representatives of the trustees and alumnial organization, drew up a memorandum of findings which were presented to the Board of Trustees at its meeting on Monday last in Chairman Cravath's office, the entire personnel of both bodies being presided over by the Chairman, admitted to the meeting of the trustees, the resignation of President McKenzie had already been received and accepted. In the light of this action, the Greater Fisk Committee refrained from giving expression to any opinion upon the evidence heard from some thirty witnesses at the Nashville meeting in February. But the committee took occasion to recommend enlargement of the student activities in accordance with the contentions of the student, body, and organization on the Board of Trustees. It developed also, that notwithstanding the reputed $1,000,000 fund there was a current deficit of about $100,000. The alumna pledged itself to raise $25,000 toward this deficit before close of the present school year, and Paul D. Crawath—pledged to cover the alumna gifts dollar for dollar up to $25,000.

PART TWO KLAN'S POWER IS ON DECLINE KLAN'S POWER IS ON DECLINE Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y., April 20.—A striking decrease in the power of the Ku Klux Klan is reported by the American Civil Liberties Union in a report issued recently based on the replies of correspondents in Klan territory to a proposal for holding meetings in behalf of tolerance in Klan strongholds. According to most of the correspondents the Klan is dying out owing to "factional disputes within the organization; failure of members to pay their dues and lack of interest in its objects." The Klan has been further crippled by political failures, "unmasking" legislation and "the general apathy on the part of the public." Practically all the correspondents advised against holding the proposed meetings, on the ground that they would strengthen the Klan thus opposition and publicity "on which it thrives." "The growth of antagonistic factions" in the Klan is common knowledge but here" writes a correspondent from Indiana, "Many of the members have become discouraged and have quit paying dues." Another correspondent in Oklahoma writes that "the Klan is dying, and if left severely alone will be completely dead within another year or two." The Oklahoma correspondent informs the Civil Liberties Union that "the Klan's state paper, which had a large circulation, has been suspended and thousands who joined the organization are either publicly withdrawing or are refusing to pay further dues." Similar reports have come from Arkansas, Georgia and Texas. In the latter state "the legislature that has just adjourned passed an anti-masking law that virtually puts the Klan out of business." The Texas correspondent also declares that "one of the Klan leaders, Billie Mayfield, who published a daily" klan paper that bonsted of 230,000 circulation, and that one time got out an issue of a million copies, has just been sentenced to prison for two years for slendering through his paper T. W. Davidson, one of the candidates for Governor. His paper was suspended some time ago for want of patronage. Correspondents from West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York report that the Klan is on the wane. The Klan is reported to be still strong in Alabama, Colorado, and in parts of several middle-western states. The conclusions expressed are summarized by the Civil Liberties Union in saying: "The peak of Klan membership and activity appears to be reached, the second year of its invasion of any section, and after that it declines rapidly. Local political, racial or religious issues have kept the Klan going strong in a few centers, but these are all exceptions to the general rule of decline and decay after the second year." The Civil Liberties Union, as a result of the opinion received, has decided not to arrange the proposed meetings in Klan territory. KLAN INCORPORATION REFUSED BY WISCONSIN Preston News Service. MADISON, Wis., April 29.—The articles of incorporation filed by the Ku Klux Klan for the State of Wisconsin were refused by Attorney General Herman L. Ekern. Under the state laws foreign dictatorship is prohibited for non-stock organizations, and the papers filed by the klan declared that the Wisconsin unit would be under the jurisdiction of the Georgia klan.

FOURTH ANNUAL MEET MEDICAL FRATERNITY CLOSES IN NEW YORK The fourth annual convention of the Chi Delta Mu Fraternity met in New York City from April 14 to April 16, at Madame Walker 8 Studio, Delgates from the fourteen chapters were present and discussed plans for the future welfare of the organization. The progress of this organization has been slow but steady. It was organized at Howard Medical School in 1913 by Dr. E. C. Terry, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Howard Medical School, Washington, D. C., and Dr. Charles Humbert, Pathologist at the Veterans Hospital, Tuskegee, Alabama. At present Chapters are located in the following cities: Washington, Kansas City, St. Louis, Newark, Boston, Nashville, New York; Roanoke, Va., Baltimore and Chiago. Some of the most prominent medical men are members of this organization. The purpose of the Fraternity is to mite men of the medical professions of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy into a closer relationship so that the highest degree of efficiency and a lentile ability might be developed. The convention was opened by the retiring Grand President, Dr. Leroy Baxter of Newark, New Jersey. Dr. Baxter made a stirring speech in which he admonished the men to uphold the lofty ideals of the organization. The most important issue of the convention was the discussion of a provision for hospital appointments for future medical graduates. A committee was appointed to make recommendations to the Grand Chapter in order that the hundreds of yearly medical graduates might secure internships in various class A hospitals. The various delegates all gave reports of progress from their respective Chapters. The only entertainment was a Smoker given in Newark by the members of the Delta Chapter. This was given Thursday evening at the Cotton Building. Tables were set and delicacies prepared by Newark's most celebrated culinary artist. The feature of the evening was a vocal solo by Dr. (Bubber) Parks, accompanied by Dr. (Bull) Terry. At an early hour in the morning the Chi song was sung with enthusiasm and expression. The officers of the Grand Chapter for the ensuing year are as follows: Grand President, Dr. E. C. Terry, Lambda; Grand Vice President, Dr. E. M. Hopkins, Nu; Grand Secretary, Dr. W. H. A. Barrett, Gamma; Grand Treasurer, Dr. W. C. McNeil, Lamb- The St. Louis Argus ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY; MAY 1, 1925 da; Grand Chaplain, Dr. E. Brook, Delta; Grand Sergeant-at-arms, Dr. T. E.

This periodical is edited by Dr. B. P. Hurd of Washington, D. C., and Pathologist to Freedmen's Hospital. The new elected officers rendered speeches and pledged themselves to support all the movements of the organization. After a heated debate between the delegates from St. Louis and Philadelphia, the meeting place for next year was selected to be in Philadelphia, during Easter week. Dr. W. H. A. Barrett represented the local Gamma Chapter at the convention. RACE FINDS NEW WEALTH IN/FLA. RUBBER GROWING JACKSONVILLE. Fla. April 25. It is encouraging news to the nearly 13,000 Florida colored farmers, 6,120 of whom own approximately 400,000 acres of land valued at more than nine million dollars, that the large northern tire manufacturers who have invested heavily in rubber plantations in this State expect to secure their first output within the next five years. He Here To Serve! Greetings! Victory-Life Inc cago greets the city of Missouri. We cere desire to be c and energies are struggles for raci pendence. We ha yours and hope th Victory-Life Insurance Company of Chicago greets the citizens of the great State of Missouri. We come to you with a sincere desire to be of service. Our resources and energies are now enlisted in your struggles for racial and economical independence. We have joined our lot with yours, and hope that our action in so doing will raise higher the banner of Negro achievement and progress. Victory Life realized from the very beginning that management plays a vital part in the development of any successful enterprise, consequently, great care was used in the selection of its officers and directors. The affairs of the company are therefore directed by persons of efficiency, experience and unquestioned integrity who have achieved recognition, success and financial independence in their respective lines of endeavor. Mr. Anthony Overton, Founder and President, is one of the foremost business men of the Race. In a recent publication of "Who's Who," Mr. Overton was one of the two Negroes given distinction in the list of prominent Chicagoans. He is President of the Overton Hygienic Manufacturing Company, makers of the famous High Brown Products. This company is given a credit rating by Dunn's Mercantile Agency of from $500,000 to $1,000,000 A. A. Class which is the highest rating of any Negro organization in the world. Mr. Overton is also President of the Douglass National Bank, an institution, which in less than three years, has accumulated deposits of more than $1,000,000 and resources of over $1,500,000. The United States Government has recognized and endorsed this bank by issuing $200,000 in $5.00 bills, with the imprint of "Douglass National Bank," each of which bears the signature of Anthony Overton, President. The individual successes made by other members of the management, coupled with Mr. Overton's unusual attainments, form a rich background of experience and a sound foundation upon which Victory Life's success is builted and maintained. Victory Life Insurance Company began writing insurance March, 1924, with a fully paid Capital Stock of $100,000 and a Surplus of $50,000. At the close of the first fiscal year, it had over $57,000 in surplus and practically a million dollars of paid business in force, and had invested over $130,000 in First Mortgages on property owned by Negroes." This large amount of business has Anthony Overton, President These farmers are now carefully considering the future possibilities of that industry in this state and do not intend to sell their holdings at a sacrifice. The move to grow rubber here is due to the 50 per cent reduction of that product in the Far East. SCOTTiSH RITE MASONS WILL MEET IN NEW YORK CITY, MAY 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 Preston News Service.

Major O'Bryan was well pleased with the unit, stating in particular, "The unit is in splendid condition. It is doing well and should be retained. I appreciate the way in which the university is backing up Capt. Wilson. The hand is one of the best equipped and musical I have ever seen. The Juniors are fine young men and will make good officers. Such men will be needed for any future war." He also prevailed upon them to enter the Summer training camp. The words of Major O'Bryan speak well for the work done by Capt. C. H. Wilson, commanding officer in charge of the unit, and it also speaks well for the men in the R. O. T. C.

PAGE FOURTEEN Questions And Answers In Negro History 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. What is the extent of Marcus Garvey's education?—W. H., Norfolk, Va. As far as the writer has been able to learn, Mr. Garvey's education has been quite limited. While he has traveled a little and gained some degree of knowledge by association, he does not seem to have had the advantages of an early education which is the possession of so many West Indians who come to this country. His speeches have shown little literary training and surely his actions have not been such as would incline one to believe him an educated man. Were Alexander Hamilton and Robert Browning Negroes?—Both of these men came from the West Indies. I should like to know also if weethow was a Negro?—E. W. R. Simball, W. Va. Alexander Hamilton possessed Negro blood and was born on the island Nevis in the West Indies. Robert Browning was not born in the Indies but at Camberwell, England. His maternal grandmother as a West Indian Negro and from or Browning inherited his dark blood and complexion. When Elizabeth Barrett married Browning she was disinherited by her father because she married a man having Negro blood. If the writer remembers lightly, it was Henry Lowes, lover and husband of George Elliot, the novelist, who introduced Miss Barrett to Browning. Beethoven is said to have inherited Negro blood from his mother, Maria Magdalene Kewerth, who was the daughter of a Negro cook. Was Omar, the famous Arabian conqueror, a Negro?—B. H. L., Columbus, Ohio. Yes. Omar was of the Yemenite (Ethiopian) tribe of Korebish and practically a full blooded Negro. He was elected to the Caliphate on the death of Abubekr, another full blooded Negro, whom Mohammed chose to be his successor and first Caliph of the Mohammedan Empire. Mohammed was a mulatto.

Some writers urge me to condemn the style; some beg me to endorse it. The bob is a glorious style for the woman of youth and vivacity; and it is becoming to some other types. Study the photos here; notice how the different types of beauty have used the different bobs. Notice Violet Holland's demure expression; could she dress her hair like Bobby Holmes? Or like Emma Jackson? To bob or not to bob depends upon the HAIR. Coarse, kinky, unruly hair must first be tamed—and the taming is easy. JUST DO THIS: Put a little Golden Brown Hair Dressing in the palm of the hand, slick it over hair and rub well into the scalp. Then comb any way you want—that is all. Golden Brown Hair Dressing is a dainty, exquisite toilet preparation, highly perfumed. Use it instead of straightening combs or messy pressing oils. Use it and dress your hair in any style you wish.
