An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man VOL. XIV 1 NO. 6 PRESIDENT PLEADS FOR FAIR PLAY Coolidge Stresses Need For A More Universal Regard For Justice In U. S. Asks Rigid Law Enforcement WASHINGTON, D. C., June 3.—President Calvin Coolidge made a strong plea for more rigid law enforcement throughout the country in his Memorial Day speech at Arlington Cemetery. Throughout his forceful and eloquent speech, he stressed the fact that the cause for which those heroes whose valiant plains commemorated would never be united unless there was a united and universal tendency to enforce justice. Need More Justice "Altho" mob violence, lynching and such crimes that are among the most serious offenses against law and order and which occur so often in this country, were not specifically mentioned in the president's attack on lawlessness, it was, plain throughout his message, that these were among the major evils that he was striking at. True Patriotism "Our gathering here today," said the President, "is in testimony of supreme obligation to those who have given most to make and preserve the nation. "These who are represented here were men in whom courage had reached a high moral quality. They had been brave enough not to shrink from looking at facts and institutions. They had been honest enough to admit that they saw there much that was not good. They glossed over no wrongs. They did not pretend that wrong was right or ever could be right. They had put much thought to the lessons of hard experience, and had frankly acknowledged that they must deal with a crisis in the nation's life. They were sure that union was a blessing, that slavery was a wrong, and that domestic war was the supreme human tragedy. This settled, they saw that one of three courses must be taken. They could have had peace with disunion or the cruel has had freedom with slavery. Freedom with union, they saw at last, meant war. We know how they decided. We know at what fearful cost they supported their decision. The war which established Memorial day had for its main purpose the enforcement of the Constitution. The peace which followed that war rests upon the universal observance of the Constitution. This Union can only be preserved, the states can only be maintained, under a reign of national, local and moral law, under the Constitution established by Washington, under the peace provided by, Lincoln. Ignore Law The looseness of State and local governments throughout the country was condemned vehemently by the President, and brought out as one of the greatest menaces to the welfare of the nation. "When the local government unit gaveds its responsibility in one direction, it is started in the vicious way of disregard of law and laxity of living. The police force, which is administered on the assumption that the violation of some laws may be ignored has started toward defiance. Such approves such administration is making dangerous concessions. There is no use disgusting the fact that as a nation our attitude toward the prevention and punishment of crime needs more serious attention. I read the other day a survey which showed that in proportion to population we have eight times as many murders as Great Britain and five times as many as France. Murder rarely goes un- CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE COURT UPHOLDS WILL OF MAN GIVING $200,000 ESTATE TO EMPLOYEES Preston News Service. LEXINGTON, Ky., June 13.—A verdict upholding the bequest of the bulk of his estate to his Negro-servants was returned here when a jury mananimously agreed last Wednesday that John T.

Joseph Demos's new church OFFICER MUST STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER Held On $10,000 Bail After Being Indicted Of Killing Negro Inspector By District Attorney. LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jue 3., Patrolman Emmett Jones, white, who shot and killed Christopher C. Malcomb, a colored employee of the city sanitary department, Sunday, May 10 while attempting to arrest the inter-terrorist held here on a $10,000 bail by District Attorney Asa Keyes to await trial for murder. Told to "Beat It" Patrolman Jones stopped Malcomb as he was coming out of a dwelling on the Sunday of the fatal shooting and questioned him. He found a pistol on Malcomb, but he told him to "beat it" after the latter satisfied him that he had a right to carry the weapon. Malcomb had gotten into his car and started off when the patrolman seemed to change his mind and him to stop. The spectator is thought not to have heard him and drove on. This was a sign for the strong arm of the law to show its might. Shoots to Kill Jones jumped into his car and pursued the Negro, firing his revolver as he went. When the fugitive failed to stop the patrolman fired straight at the machine, mortally wounding and killed the suspect that the inspector suspected that robbers were pursuing him and would not stop for that reason. Attorney Gets Case Last week at the coroner's inquest of the shooting, a mixed coroner's jury composed of four whites and four colored members split on a decision, four being for acquittal and four for arrest. The result was that the case went to the District Attorney for decision. Attorney Keyes issued a complaint for murder against Officer Jones and he was released on $10,000 bail. The preliminary trial was set for June 9 in Judge Baird's court. Feeling has run high here over the affair. Malcomb was well known and highly respected here. The general burentment seems to be that Malcomb only committed no crime, and that the killing was a warbon taking of life. HISTORIC ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH TO BUILD HISTORIC ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH TO BUILD Oldest African Methodist Episcopal Church West Of Mississippi River. To Expand. The congregation of St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church has outgrown the comfortable seating capacity of the building located on the corner of Lawton and Lefflingwil streets. Although built from the ground up by the members of this organization, it is at present one of the very largest auditoriums of colored churches in St. Louis, but still far too small to serve congregation which is drawn from every section of the city to enjoy the lofty tone of the services conducted for many years past by some of the most outstanding divines of the Race, such as Dr. T. W. Henderson, George Shaffer, A. T. Cottman, Chas. W. Presnant, D. P. Roberts, W. Sampson Brooks and C. A. Williams. The high water mark has been reached during the present pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Noah W. Williams who never fails to come to the pulpit without having first made careful preparation to deliver messages to the audience. Luckily, have taken into this church during his pastorage which began last November. As a result the church including the lecture room is crowded to its capacity and many times scores are turned away. They come from every section of the city. This church was established in 1841 during slave days and the present building was, erected in 1890. Some of the most influential citizens of the race in St. Louis are members of St. Paul and all regardless of denomination, especially those who have lived here for many years. They are the most reverent esteem. Many fond memories cluster here as for many years it was the social as well as the religious center of the colored people of the city. Dr. Noah W. Williams and the official staff are planning to appoint a commission looking toward the erection of a large modern church that will be a memorial to the heroic immortals who organized and built up this church. Dr. Noah is the oldest African Methodist Episcopal church west of the Mississippi river. Many colored citizens regardless of denomination will take delight in contributing to the erection of the greater St. Paul because of what she has been to them, their parents and the city. Sunday is Quarterly meeting and at the afternoon service, Bishop A. J. Carey will be present and organize all the Stewardesses and deaconesses of the various A. M. J. churches of the city into a union and consecrate the deaconesses. The Holy Communion will be administered at this service by the bishop. Old are pensions would enormously decrease the anxieties of persons with graying hair. FOURTEEN PAGES PRICE 5 CENTS WON AGAINST THE K. K. K. IS CALLED A "CUR" Judge Lindsey Of Denver Tells Of His Hard Fight Against Poisonous Propaganda Of Race Prejudice Fostered By Klan. DENVER, Colo., June 1 J- Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Denver Juvenile and Family Court, who recently won re-election to his office after a recount of votes cast, and who is to be one of the speakers at the N. A. A. C. P. Conference in Denver, tells of the victorious fight against the Klan in the June 1 issue of the Survey Graphic. In the course of the election campaign, hissers Judge Lindsey of the Klan have gangs of hoodlums to break up meetings and he himself was assailed by "screaming furies" with such epithets as "You dirty cur." When he inquired why they used such names, the fanatical women replied, "You are not 100% American--you are against the Klan." Commenting on the animosity displayed, Judge Lindsey says: "I did not believe that in this day and age there should be such flaming, soothing, hissing rancor left in the human heart against any one. That campaign has changed a good many of my ideas about people. I never realized before how prone a certain type of hoodlums are to hate and passion. It has made me shudder for the future of my country if anarchy should ever stalk in our midst." Klan members introduced bills in the legislature to abolish his court, says Judge Lindsey, and are subjecting him to costly litigation. "The grand dragon himself," says Judge Lindsey, "though a practicing physician in Denver for years past, was refused admission to the Denver Medical Society. He has never made an income tax return, though he operates a private hospital with two nurses, a housekeeper and bookkeeper and is a single man." Of the menace of the Klan he says: "The constitutional rights of American citizens will never be safe in this country," the Klan manna has been stamped out by courageous Americans." Judge Lindsey charges the Klan controlled police are corrupt, the Klan newspapers tell lies, and Klan organizers are salesmen of the poison of prejudice, "selling fuel to hatred, superstition and fanaticism, bartering in bigotry and intolerance at so much per." HOW KLANSMEN DENY THEIR MEMBERSHIP OATH NEW YORK, June 2.—A representative of the National Association for the Amendment of Colored People recently attended initiation ceremonies of the Ku Klux Klan in a neighboring state, and reports that Klansmen are given instructions for evading inquiries of judges, juries and officers of the law when asked if they are members of the Klan.

NEGROES PLAN TO VOTE IN VIRGINIA PRIMARIES Associated Negro Press RICHMOND, Va., June 3.—The Negroes of this city are carefully planning to burst the bonds of disfranchisement as it pertains to primary elections and voting in this state. According to Attorney J. R. Pollard, leading Negro politician of this city, who ran for attorney general of this state while John Mitchell, Jr. ran for governor on the Republican ticket in Virginia in forty years ago. These men polled a tremendous number on his occasion, so much so, in fact, that it aroused a degree of fear among the people who knew of the rottenness of the Democratic party in Virginia. Definite results of the voting was never made known to the public; according to Lawyer Pollard it is their aim to enter Negro candidates, if they can be nominated, in the race, for the position of Magistrates in the next primary. It has been nearly twenty-five years since a Negro held any public office in this city.

THE JESTAMERE "The Girl of Gold" will be featured at the Jestamere - Theatre this Saturday. This is a sensational photoplay of society life with many unusual situations and a spectacular scenes, one of which is a society ball staged on its sixth level of a gold mine. Malcolm McGregor has the leading masculine role opposite George Vidor. Floresman "cooper to Marry" will be presented on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. The picture tells a smart, sophisticated story of the manner, in which two men manage their manance in life. Based around a man's contempt for conventions, the picture with its startling ending, brings out with realism that "free love" does not pay. The basic story is a powerful one. It is vivid, dramatic, bright and entertaining. In the cast are Lewis S. Stone, Conrad Nagel, Paulette Duval, Marguerite de la Motte, Louise Fazenda, Claudie Gillingwater and Richard Wayne. Priscilla Dean will be seen in "The Cinderella Runner" on Wednesday. Crimson Runner," on Wednesday. The feature for next Thursday and Friday will be Irene Rich in "A Lost Lady." In, the part of Martan, Forster, beautiful, young and married to an elderly railroad magnate, Irene Rich is called upon to enact the gradual demoralization of a high-strung woman, whose passionate yearning for the joyous abandon of love proves her nemesis. It drags her down through the mud of vicious habits and questionable associations, stripping her of everything beautiful, until the invincible soul of her rights tree. The defense of descent and leaves her safe and content, once more the lovely lady. THE CRITERION Dorothy Devore heads a strong cast in "The Narrow Street" at the Criterion Theatre this Saturday. The story hinges on the woman who changes the even, dull tenor of whose life of a conservative bachelor whose life has been a success of uninteresting occurrences. After apending years knowing how to define a thrill, he finds he has so many during a single day that he can't keep counting them. Tom Mix in "Riders of the Purple Sage" will be the Sunday feature. In this latest picture, Mix outdoes himself in the originality and ingenuity of his feats of horsemanship. Tony, of course, does his share of the work. "Let Women-Alone" will be the Wednesday special. This is an amusing and fast-moving comedy-drama dealing with the adventures of a "gogetter" insurance agent, his energetic mother and a capable interior decorator—a woman. "Argentine Love" with Bebe Daniels and Ricardo Cortez will be the Thursday feature. THE VENUS Buffalo Bill Jr. will be seen in "Bringing Home the Bacon" at the Venus Theatre this Saturday. There will also be four acts of vaudeville. "The Thief of Bagdad" starring Douglas Fairbanks, will be presented on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This photoplay, according to all accounts, surpasses anything heretofore seen on the screen. This extraordinary picture of the equilibrium it has in every city it has been presented, is the crescendo photoplay. It is a fantastical story of love and adventure laid in an imaginary world of fancy, abounding with amazing happenings, and what critics, generally have, called unbelievable 'wonders'. Some of the outstanding features are: The Magic Carpet that sails across the house-tops. The Undersea City of Crystal where the Undersea City of Forest and Untamed Trees, The Forest of Disability, The Winged Horse that flies up to and through the clouds. The Living Dragon in the Valley of Monsters. Betty Compson will, be seen in "Locked Doors" next Thursday and Friday. The story is one of a beautiful young girl who marries a wealthy architect many years her senior. The marriage is a loveless affair for the girl, entered upon more for the fact of assuring her elderly and crippled father a comfortable house than anything else. A great fire, a storm and a cattle stampede are thrills in the picture. THE OLYMPIA "One Year to Live" will be the Olympia Theatre feature this Saturday. Alleeen Pringle, Antonio Moreno, Dorothy Mackill form a true all star cast, one of the strongest combinations in years. Richard Talmadge will be seen in "The Fighting Demon" on Sunday. It not only has thrills in plenty, but is a very amusing and diverting comedy such time as it is not a sensational melodrama. The difficulties which Dick encounters on shipboard on his way to South America are delightfully worked out, and they prove a rich comedy vein from which Director Art Rosson has dug all the laughs possible to obtain. The big fight scene is remarkably well-filmed and contains a great kick. "Secrets of the Night" will be shown on Monday; and "The Goose Hangs High" on Wednesday. The special on Thursday and Friday will be "The Breath of Scandal." It is an absorbing story about a neglected mother, a philandering father and a flapper daughter. Betty Blythe is featured with Lou Telegen, Forrest Staley, Patsy Ruth Miller, Myrtle Stedman, Jack Mulhall and Phyllis Haver. THE CASINO Ashton Dearhold will be seen as "Plato" in the western drama "The Cowboy Prince," at the Casino Theatre this Sunday. William Desmond is the star in "The Meddling," on Sunday and Monday. An almost uncontrollable fear of riding in an automobile at more than 15 miles an hour lost a millionaire business man his flames. How he turned his life around this effort to win the girl back but got instead a prettier girl to replace his now married fliance who married another man, is told thrill- SUNDAY, MONDAY and TUE Lewis Stone and Paulette Duval on 'CHEAPER TO MARRY' BUFFALO BILL Jr. in "Bringin' Home The Bacon" A New And Thrilling Action-Melodrama with Rough Ridin' Aplenty and Thrills Galore.

"Her Husband's Secret" will be the feature on Monday. Four great stars make its drama unforgettable. Patryt Riller, Antonio Moreno, Ruth Clifford, Ruth Davis. Tom Mix and Tony in "Riders of the Purple Sage" on Thursday, is an exciting speedy western. It is a typical Mix picture, full of the villainy, chivalry and grandeur of the West. Mix does some excellent acting as the soft-spoken two-gun hero. Tony carries his master through perilous situations and aids him with his horse sense. THE ROOSEVELT The sensational Babylionian spectacle in natural colors, "So This is Marriage," featuring Eleanor Boardman, Conrad Nagel and Lew Cody will be the feature at the Roosevelt Theatre on Sunday and Monday. An added attraction for Sunday only will be Moseley's Radio Players, featuring Slim Austin, in songs, dances and comedy.

"The production is a two act musical comedy based on the comedy elements of the Oklahoma Oil district where a number of amusing incidents have actually taken place through unexpected wealth that has accrued to ignorant Negroes from discovery of oil on what had been apparently a wealthy home that was" for that reason in the possession of these people.

On another bright day, as we entered the Automat, Restaurant, we ran into Ellis Rivers, president of the Eggglass club, and another lawyer with Paul Robeson. We promptly became friends. We have met in a long time. We were sorry that duty obliged us to leave the pleasant party. The very next day, Earl Dancer, partner of Ethel Waters, came by the office, and with him we motored in his car (I have none) to the Plantation Room, picking Johnnie Hudgins up on route. There we spent an agreeable two hours with Sam Slivin, the man who is to be credited with Florence Mills' rapid advancement. Leonard Harper was a party to this pleasant session as were several prominent Broadway composers, all of whom have been closely associated with the advance of one or more of our Race artists. Ticking up Billy Mitchell, whose new tabloid is now on the Loew Time, the big car was driven Hiramward. Before the Lafayette Theater, we met among others, "Bojangles" Bill Robinson. The Keith time runner, who is quite interested in pedestrians as he is in the terpsichorian use of his padals. Bill you know, holds a lot of running records; and his paintings the athletic artworks in charge of the artworks in New York have not seen fit to permit him and Nurm to run on the same bill at the Stadium. Bill is still hopeful of winning on this, as he has on another matter. You have been told of Ethel Waters receiving a three-year contract from the Keth-Allee offices. Wohl, "Bojangles" simply had to assert his seniority rights. His figure was satisfactory, but he insisted that his prestige must be preserved and a five-year contract would be the least that he could accept and maintain his dignity—and he got just that. Met Eloise Bennett of the Rosamond Johnson act; and the dainty bit of brown skin beauty bade us adieu. She is going to Chicago to visit her father, and may possibly go to St. Louis before she returns to New York. We met some fine children too. Lionel Mason, Jr., three year old son of the dramatic actor, is a clever little fellow and he is already a "first nighter" at Lafayette. On the other hand, Alphonso Johns, nephew and summer companion of Anita Bush whom he adores insists that he prefers being a mechanic, though he likes to visit the Billboard and the agents offices with amulet.

It came in with an added number for there was a junior in the Shettell family; and the company is very proud of the cute little member, whose age is still mentioned in monthly units. We have seen Bobby-Lee, Little Cairn Campbell; and by the time this is in print we will have chatted with all of the tourists. It is reported that they are in excellent financial shape, a something that is not so true of the other shows recently closed. That reininds us that 'Chocolate Daniels closed at Nerbas Theater, Brooklyn on May 24, for the season, take the other big show that closed in the same town, about the only solace for the performers was that the fare home from there is but "one lone nickel." Atogether, the folks were only short a total of about $20,000. With few exceptions, the whole group ended the season in very unfortunate circumstances. Oh, well, some day the colored performers will learn to arrange for the same organized protection that the musician stage crew enjoy. That would assure their money instead of the volumes of kokum publicity upon which the members of so many companies have been fed. "See how famous we are making you" is a poor substitute for bread. Oh, the town is full of performers at Liberty." Some of them, are being absorbed in the new Plantation Reviews, three in number, a few are going to Coney Island and "Lucky Sambo" opening at the park, the latter also being researched at the Amsterdam Root Garden made famous by one Mr. Zeilgeld, as this is being written will account of some of them; but the clubs are still full of principals, musicians, and choristers, really good performers too.

A New Comedy Act "LOAD OF WOOD" Don't Fail to See Slim Austin, the Man Who Makes You Laugh and Cry. PRETTY GIRLS use of certain minology in describing American colored people and calling them by names of unfavorable distinction such as are used in the South for the increase of the superiority of age, on the one hand, and the inferiority claim on the other. However, on the whole, the repetition of these memories would be beneficial to both groups. If Giverard can be charged with attempt to modify race prejudice and the atrocious treatment of the Negro group in the South by suggesting parallels of cast and class disfunctions in European mass-mortality, most willing to overlook this error in logic in order to enjoy an observation, in which be states: 'My Southern experience has not converted me to pessimistic fatality. For one thing, it has inspired me with greater confidence, in the possibilities of the Negro race. The Bardarians who swooped upon the Graeco-Roman world were centuries behind in civilization. Although eager to learn, they wrecked the whole fabric of ancient culture, as completely as the Negroes ruined the amenities and decencies of French life in Haxti. It took them five hundred years to grope their way out of the darkness they had made. We, the proud sons of these Barbarians, have no cause to be supercilious. What the Negro has achieved in little more than half a century, is literally astounding. Then, too, his final impeachment, though softened by compliment, and the attendant appeal, somewhat charged with accension, bears ear marks of righteousness! The ring of a real challenge is embodied in these sentences. The Southerners are gentlemen; it remains for them to apply the gentlemanly code and the code of chivalry between the races as well as with in their own caste. They know that bragging and brutal assertiveness in the individual, are the surest token of vulgarity. A man as a man and as a man as a man, as we systematically act as a race, and as we too often act as a nation (myself first, right or wrong) would be hunted as once out of polite society. "As Tolstoy's hero devoted his life to the "resurrection" of a soul, so are we in honor bound to stone for the great collective crime of our race. Thinking of the wrongs inflicted by man upon the weaker sex, Vilny said: 'I cannot meet a woman without being tempted to say: Forgive us! The Negro among us is also an eternal reproach.

PRESIDENT PLEADS FOR FAIR PLAY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE punished in Britain or France; here the reverse is true. "We are not a lawless people, but we are too frequently a careless one. The multiplicity of laws, the varied possibilities of appeals, the disposition of technicality in procedure, the delays and consequent expense of litigation which inevitably injure to the advantage of wealth and specialized ability—all these have many times been recounted as reproaches to us. It is strange that such laxities should persist in a time like the present, which should be a normal movement in behalf of the social welfare. But they do exist. They demonstrate a need for better,promoter,less irksome and expensive administration of the laws. They point the necessity for simplification and codification of laws; for uniformity of procedure; for more accurate delimination of State and Federal authority. These are vital issues, in which the nation greatly needs a revival of interest and concern. It is senseless to boast of our liberty when we find that to so shocking an extent it is merely the liberty to go ill-governed. It is time to take warning that nature is the system, under which we claim them are same while such conditions exist. "We shall have to make our decision whether we wish to maintain our present institutions, or whether we wish to, exchange them for something else. If we permit some one to come to support us, we cannot prevent someone coming to govern us. If we are too weak to take charge of our own morality, we shall not be strong enough to take charge of our own liberty. If we cannot govern ourselves, if we cannot observe the law nothing remains but to have some one else govern us to have the law enforced against us, and to step down from the honorable abiding place of freedom to the incomnious abode of servitude.

NO COLLECTION THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO BRIEF HISTORY DETROIT CHURCH Bethel A. M. E. Church Organized In 1839. Has Eventful Career. DETROIT, Mich., June 1.—John Steward, free and a Methodist, born in Powhatan County, Virginia, was the first Negro Protestant Missionary to the Indians in his section. He began work in the year 1816, arriving at Wyandotte village, near Detroit. So successful were his efforts that in 1816 this work was taken in charge by the Ohio Conference of the M. E. Church, under the operation of its Missionary Society. The first Colored Methodist Society organized in Detroit proper was in 1839, and was afterwards merged into Bethel A, M. E. church. This organization held its meeting in an old building near Woodward avenue known as Military Hall, located on the north side of Congress street. This hall was granted by the Common Council on July 9, 1839, to the colored Methodists, and was removed within a few weeks to Croghan street, near the northwest corner of Hastings St. on what was known as "Father Armstrong's lot." It was while there that John M. Brown, afterwards Bishop in the A. M. E. church, was made an exborter. On May 10, 1841, this society was definitely organized under the control of the A. M. E. church, hence the origin of the Bethel A. M. E. church of Detroit, Michigan. The society remained at Croghan street nearly two years and then moved to Fort street, East. The building was at the same time moved, neatly fitted up and formally dedicated on June 4, 1842. The next effort of the society was the erection of a brick church on the south side of Lafayette street, which cost $5, 1845 and purchased on June 5, 1845 cost $4,000. We were 40 by 50 feet and was dedicated September 10, 1847. The society was incorporated July 30, 1840. In 1842 Detroit was made a part of the Canadian work, and later taken over by the Ohio Conference when that body convened in 1840 at Chicago, and added out three missionary fields, the third of which included Michigan and was known as the Ypsilant) Mission. Still later Detroit became part of the Indiana Conference where it remained until the organization of the Michigan Annual Conference by M. Rev, J. P. Campbell, August 1877. In 1845 the Ohio Annual Conference was held in this church. Bishop Wm. Quinl, presided, and 2, 1866 extensive repairs which cost $4,000 and an extension of 18 feet to the church were made. On August 20, 1875, the 36th session of the Indiana Annual Conference convened in this church, Bishop A. W. Wayman, assisted by Bishop Shorter, presided. At this conference resolutions of sympathy were passed with reference to the death of Bishop Willis' Nazarey (B. M. E. Church, Canada) with request that the members of the conference attend his funeral at Chatam, Ont., Thursday, September 2, 1875. Rev. C. H. Ward was ordained Elder and Reverends A. Smith and H. H. Thompson, deacons during this conference. August 20, 1881, the Bishops' Council met in this church, the oldest society of the church. "The Self Denial Club" was organized by the Rev. M. J. Henderson, Sept. 20, 1877, uniting name of the officers, Helping Hand Society, the Office of cinda Evans, president; Julia Molone, vice president; Mary Smith Bull, secretary; Annie Comel, treasurer; Elizabeth Linyear, chairman program committee. Today the only living members are Sisters A. L. Evans, Harriet Smith, Ada Vernell, Mary McGoy, Amelia Collins, Georgia Smith-Hackley and Elda Price. On December 22, 1889, the corner stone of the present building, corner Napoleon and Hastings, was laid, Rev. James M. Henderson, pastor. The cost of the property: Lot $8,000 building $18,000. Total $21,000. The year of Bethel's gravest financial crisis was that of 1900, when the church faced an indebtedness of $18,000. It was at this time that the Rev. Robert Seymore proved equal to the task and saved Bethel and consequently African Methodism in Detroit for all time. During the pastorate of Rev. T. A. Smythe, 1906-00, the church was enlarged and a pipe organ installed. The Social Service Department, organized under Rev. J. P. Q. Wallace in October 1911, received its great impetus under the pastorate of Rev. Joe Evans. In 1910, with the coming of our people in large numbers from the South, a labor and housing bureau was added. The church experienced a great revival of interest. On August 29, 1917, the property adjoining the church was purchased under the construction of Rev. Joe Evans for $3,000. In 1917, under the administration of Rev. T. D. Scott, the remaining indebtedness of $7,000 was paid as a result of a splendid system of rallies. The colored citizens of Detroit celebrated the signing of the Armistice in the church. Bethel church was the first organization to inaugurate Public Welfare Movements, its social service department being the first, to make preparation for welcome for the thousands who focked to Detroit after the war. On September 10, 1919, the Michigan Annual Conference was entertained for the first time free of cost in this church. Rev. T. D. Scott was pastor. At this conference, Rev. Jos. Gomez, the present pastor, was appointed to the pastorate of Bethel. The appointment in o-far as the age of the incoming pastor was concerned was shattering of all precedents, in November 1919 the morning service became so formal that an overture was established. Rev. Isaac Baker in charge. In the winter of this year a building was started in interest of a "New Bethel." In May 1920, the building adjoining the church was turned into a social service department, with labor and housing bureau and classes, under the management of the Recreation Commission of the city. Mr. A. Bass was elected president of the Brotherhood, succeeded by Mr. George Green and later Mr. G. M. Carter. Mrs. E. L. Johnson was elected president of the Sisterhood. The social service work is being conducted under the auspices of these two societies. At the meeting of the Michigan Annual Conference held at Fort Wayne, Indiana, September 8, 1920, Bethel took her place among the first five churches of the concession in her district in 1925 and reported at this conference for all purposes than amount collected for current expenses from 1887 to 1914. Bishop A. N. Conner appointed to the Episcopal Supervision of the 15th District, preached in Bethel the latter part of May 1920. On Wednesday, 18th, 1921, the idea of a New Bethel" received a practical start. It was initiated in one of the greatest real estate deals made by colored people in Detroit, and the largest of any congregation. The lot corner of Frederick and St. Antlone streets was purchased for $40,000. The first payment, $10,000. Lot, 140 by 145, with a double building which cost approximately $12,000 on the lot. The building is the interest of the five million dollar drive were made at Bethel, Wednesday, May 18, 1921. Bishop Conner presiding. The new church site was purchased three years ago, the entire plant with new church building, costing about $800,000. This is now one of the best equipped churches in America and regardless of race, one of the four largest in Detroit. It will seat approximately 2500 people. The gymnasium, clubrooms, showers and accommodation dining room are among some of its chief features. The church building covers ground, 83x130. The Rev. Joseph Gomez is serving his sixth year, being the youngest man appointed to a church of its size in the history of the connection. Under the supervision of over $70,000 was collected last year. The church plans two weeks of Dedicatory exercises with the opening service at 9:30 a.m. June 7. Leading bishops and public speakers of churches and the race will be featured. A special parade is being arranged for the afternoon service of June 9. The St. Louis Argus ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1925 Politics At The Nation's Capitol BY ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS President Coolidge Handicapped By Conditions But That's Not The Answer To America's Failure. By NAHUM DANIEL BRASCHER WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec 3. President Coolidge is placed in a perimeter, if not defenseless, position United States Senate backed by Democratic and Republican rebelleds, defeated by affirmation of Charles B. Warren of Michigan for the office of Attorney General, there was "the birth of sorrow" for the Chief Executive. It is wondered how many of Colored Americans knew for us? As I sat in the Senate gallery on that notable day when Vice President Dawes, hurried from the hotel to the capitol, and walked to his position leisurely and with great dignity, as though it were all in the picture, I was chilled in the realization that our Federal hopes were set back. If the United States Senate will be called a senator, Mr. President's cabinet, what chance have we for Federal confirmation? This question is of tragic importance at this time. Not alone for the positions, and we are entitled to ten times more than we ever get, but as indicating a condition over which the President hasn't any control! It will remain such until we have racial members of the Senate and House. No white Senate member of the house will fight our battles in the fight for ourselves. In some instances, of recognized racial political power there may be, from time to time, gestures of definite interest but they are transient, and in many instances, superfluous. This opinion is given after careful study of more than four year-personal observation under Republican rule. In my last story, I went into the last century, and brought out facts up to the present time. Men and women, white and colored, were named, whose glory will never fade. Point to the whites now, if you will, who have built a national reputation in Congress on their fight for human rights. The are some few who stand up when put to the acid test, but their reputations are built on other lines. The subject of human rights is not a popular one; particularly is this true with the human rights of Colored America. The late Senator McCormick told me some years ago that with him it was largely a matter of politics. This is the absolute truth, North, South, East and West, Democrat and Republican. These men on Capitol Hill, if they do not do the popular thing, are doing the thing that, in their opinion, will give them votes in elections and keep them in office. It is a cold-blooded, practical proposition with them; no more no less. Therefore, we, of Colored men, need expect no longer to fight or battle the annihilation of sentiment. That is passe. Do You Think Washington Do you think that the men who control the American government are ignorant of facts as they concern conditions affecting Colored America? If so, you are sadly mistaken. Like the Colored brother in the song; They have been everywhere, seen everybody know everything. Newspapers, associations and individuals have informed them. They have been about, President Coolidge has had placed in his own dear hands on many occasions bald facts of information. On several occasions, I have been in his presence in the White House when he has been told facts, cold, glaring, unvarnished facts. I have heard his generous and favorable response; your requests are reasonable, he has told us more than once. The President has done some very splendid things. He has not done enough to satisfy Colored America. When will he do that? The answer of "When?" only the President can answer by action. It is my thought, however, with all his possible heart felt willingness, he can not fail to see the shadow of a jealous and automatic United - States Senate, ready to pounce on every good step he may take, whether for white or black. To these facts we must give cognizance, and stop kidding ourselves. We merely make ourselves ridiculous in the eyes of those in the know. Colored America, to make any real political progress, must concentrate its power in the most effective way. We cannot do much without our own members in Congress, but we are up against a condition, and must use what power we have. It is my opinion that we should keep all the facts commonly before the President; then, in that case, we should be hold to "strict accountability" in their dealings with racial matters or matters involving racial welfare. What Affects One, Affects All Unfortunately, there are some with in our own group who have such measured vision, that they feel unconcerned about conditions in the national government. This, in fact, is rank blindness. Every act against Colored America in Washington is felt, sooner or later, by the remotest child among us. We are gradually approaching political annihilation unless we do better in solid phalanx. If you think the suggestion, come on to Washington and learn the facts. Visit the departments. Hear the back door talk of Senators and Congressmen, since we seldom hear the front door talk. Do not think all-of your political enemies live South; and by the same token, do not think all-of your political friends live North. There are actually here in Washington, to my knowledge, certain southern members of the Senate and Congress, who have done things in a quiet way more far-reaching than some northern Republican members who have racial constituents. These men have said they would do more. If they were "not for political conditions," another fact of the practical turn of the game. Lunching has decreased, because we have hammered it through the gateway to the platform of public opinion. In the same way, we can put a practical stop to segregation in Washington, and to the famine of Executive consideration in appointments. Any member of Congress who tolerates segregation in departments should not expect the suffrage of racial votes. I believe in the psychological moment, and now is that great moment to strike at segregation and obliteration. They have struck us below the belt. It is an unfair game. In national politics, we are less than skimmed milk; we are skimmed some claber, in proportion to what we are entitled to have, because of our 15,000,000 inhabitants. We will never get even a broom straw by sitting supinely by. We must go after what we want, and beat the enemy at his own game. We must not take the enemy white—America's estimate of our rights and privileges; we must set the idea and tell it to the world that we are American all, justly entitled to all rights and privileges anywhere the stars and stripes float! Any other conception of our Americanism is counterfelt, bogus, punk. Twenty Years Of Missions In Rhodesia By W. W. Reld Associated Negro Press NEXT PRESS The story of the growth of the missionary work of the Methodist Episcopal church in Rudolphia, Africa, during the past twenty years is one of the most remarkable of the history of that church's work in foreign lands. In 1904 the new imperfect Bishop Joseph Hartzell wrote that he had baptized during the year that young men who had been with the mission 5 years and who had given proof of the Christian life. 35 persons were baptized during that year. During the year 1924, according to the reports made to the Board of Foreign Missions in New York, 922 persons were baptized. Three hundred twenty-nine of these were children brought to the mission by native Christian parents. In 1924 the annual report said: "Christianity has touched little of the mature and the aged. The youth are eager for the school and the church. These young people on becoming Christians have peculiar hardships to face, intensified by the heat-ten atmosphere of their krals." In the last report made by the Rev. W. C. Gardner, of Old Untail, he says, "Today we find the mature and the aged honoring the church an occasional individual with gray hair seeking the fellowship of the church. But of great significance is the change in the atmosphere of the two hundred kraals and centers where our native workers are either stationed or go with the Christian message. Though the followers of Christ are faced with temptation in its peculiar African forms, a Christian standard of conduct is displacing superstition and fear and many of the distinctly heathen systems and beliefs are being surrounded by those who understand his temptations and are ready to help him. On the Mrewa District of Rhodesia there was only one Methodist missionary twenty years ago. Today there are eight missionaries and fifty-two African pastors and teachers working in the same territory. At Old Untail there are today four schools with an enrollment of 40 pupils. One of these schools is for the training of young men and women as pastors and preachers; one is for married women; and the third is a night school for boys who spend their days on the farm. One of the outstanding mission developments in Rhodesia during the past twenty-four years has been the Methodist Mission Press for which a new building has just been erected and a modern drum-cylinder press installed for book work. Two hundred Christian hymns have been translated, set to music and printed in African dialects. On this press a large number of tracts and booklets have been printed and colporteurs are going out into hundreds of native villages spreading, gospel portions and other Christian literature. In all Rhodesia the Board of Foreign Missiones of the Methodist Episcopal Church have established the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the same denomination has twelve. Four native Christians have been ordained as pastors. There are seventy-five unordained pastors and exhorters. There are 5,500 members of the church in addition to 1,837 baptized children not yet received into membership. There are 10! Sunday schools with a total enrollment of 7,147 pupils. There are 101 churches and seventy-three parishons. The 114 elementary schools enroll 783 boys and girls. EDGEWATER PARK, N. J., June 3.—A cat on the farm of James Walton, near here, has adopted two baby squirrels to take the place of her kittens, which were drowned, and is rearing them as her own. When a large tree blew down a few days ago the two tiny squirrels were found on the ground, their mother having been either killed or frisked away. The Current Topics Current Topics By ERNEST RICE McKINNEY Preston News Service When one thinks of what John Brown did, in order to be true to his own convictions, we marvel that Negroes today can be so indifferent, stupid and satisfied. Here was a man who laid down his life to prove to the entire world that his belief in the brotherhood of all men was something real and tangible. May 9th was the anniversary of the birth of this remarkable old crusader. And yet in city after city Negroes it pass by with not a ripple in the sea of their sung compacency. On this day, every year, every Negro parent should draw each little child around the parent's knee and tell them the story of John Brown, Osawattama and Harpers Ferry. It is not near so important that Negro children know about George Washington as it is that they should know about John Brown. White teachers in the schools will not tell the story of John Brown and Negro teachers do not tell it as it should be told. This is a job for the Negro parent. Not that the child should be taught to murder—leave that to white Americans and the military murderers who bring on the wars, but John Brown should be set before them as a man who had a conscience to be satisfied. Our children, in this day and time, need to be fired with this John Brown spirit. To know the right and be willing to make sacrifices that the right might prevail. Our children will come to this position only then long and deliberate nurture. It is not to the interest of the "superior race that we rear a race with this sort of ideals. Persons of this type are not easily lynched. They fight and die, they strike back and suffer if need be. Of course, John Brown is not alone in this. There were others; Lovejoy and Tubman and Sojourner Truth? names that most Negroes have only heard but know not their significance. We are the only race in the world of whom it can be truthfully said that as a whole, we know nothing of our national heroes and care less. We chose after little cheap white politicians asking for crumbs, and ignore altogether the white men who day in and day out our rights and demand for us a swarm of them. There are folks among us, aping their white masters, who continually have the word "Radicals" on their lips. The little jack-leg Negro preachers don't have the time to line up with the forces that are carrying on the work of John Brown, because they are too busy "trying to get the Negro in somewhere else" as one of them expressed it. The one healthful sign in the whole sickly mess is the tendency of the younger Negroes to revolt. The students struck at Fisk, the musicians refused to perform at Washington, the students struck at Howard, and in other places there are indications that the day of the bamaannah head Negro—low, high and in the middle—is about to pass to come no more. FLORIDA, THE STATE OF HORRORS IS A PARADOX FLORIDA, THE STATE OF HORRORS IS A PARADOX Associated Negro Press PALATKA, Fla., June 3—In this state where a lynching just took place, where a white woman died of heart failure when she saw her murdered Negro neighbor and married her just sentenced to twentieth degree for just being a Negro woman, history is being made. The South is a paradox. While the above mentioned events were taking place something else that shows the bright side of the South was also taking place. In this little city fifty four miles from Jacksonville, the Knights of Dythas were being accorded the most cordial reception by the white people that a Negro fraternal order has ever accorded 'anywhere in the South, and the K. O. P. of the state held the most successful Grand Lodge they have ever held in any State. Beginning Monday night when Roscoe Conkling-Simmons de-ventured his address which won the white people as well as the colored, and continuing through Friday when the Uniform Rank broke camp and the most solemn ceremony, there was great enjoyment as well as hard work among the members of the Order. The Grand Officers of the Grand Lodge and Grand Court, of which W. W. Andrews, is Grand Chancellor and Mrs. Emma J. Colyer is Grand Worthy Counselor, were re-elected without opposition, and acheers from the many representatives from all over the state. The business sessions were held in the Bethel A. M. E. church and the Mt. Tabor Baptist church. On Tuesday afternoon dress parade was held at the camp ground; Tuesday night, the most wonderful torch light parade and fireworks display ever given by Negroes of Florida was held. This spectacular display astonished the white and colored citizens of Palatka. Wednesday after the parade, on Wednesday the Garrison Red Cross Company presented an original female mininee Thursday the Grand Lodge closed with the Grand Parade in which over 4,000 people marched and over 1,000 automobiles, from the stady Lincoln to the humble Ford, participated. cat, still mourning the loss of her kittens, at once appropriated the squirrels and has been nursing them regularly. They appear to be flourishing. James H. Hubert, executive secretary, New York Urban League, declared that the housing conditions in certain sections of Harlem and other parts of New York City are disgraceful; that the city should start condemnation proceedings compelling the owners either to remodel or demolish, "People of the North," said he, "are no longer under the delusion that the Negro is a Southern problem." According to the 1920 census, 73 percent of Negroes in the North were living in ten industrial centers; while 58 per cent of those in the South are rural dwellers. Herein lies the problem: We have for convenience, taken all problems of health, housing, recreation and industry, where the Negro is concerned, and tagged them "Negro Problem." The problem of adjustment is always one that requires patience and consideration. Mr. Hubert declared that in the face of the present high rents and inadequate housing space in Harlem, there is a concerted effort on the part of property owners in the vicinity of 1936 street, to further restrict Negroes to a definite territory, establishing what he termed "The Negro Dead Line." Dr. Kelly Miller, Dean of Howard University, stirred the entire conference with the assertion that the economic and social status of the Negro in this country is America's most perplexing question. Dean Miller said the migration of the Negro here will continue, as well as that from the South to the North, as long as he feels there are more satisfactory industrial and social advantages. He said he believed the Negro was better off in the country than in the city, but that the race as a whole could not be persuaded of the Negro in the Northern cities" and "has the advantage of educational quality, perhaps his most valuable privilege. He is taught in the schools his best instruction for any one. I believe that will lead to the future leaders of the race arising in the North. The Negro will never teach in the cities a number large enough to compete with white labor, and that will make his lot better." TENNESSEE NORMAL HAS A SUCCESSFUL CLOSING NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 2, 50 members of the senior college class and two hundred fifty-five students completing the junior college in education, the academic department and the vocational department of A, and I Normail College were presented to Commissioner P.

Since the company has been established in St. Louis, the management has conducted two schools of Salesmanship and has at various times held public meetings, to acquaint the public with the type of public service the company is trying to give. In a recent meeting here, Dr. M. O. Bousfield, new acting president, Dr. R. L. Bradby of Detroit and Mr. W. Louis Davis, Manager of the Bond Department, of Chicago, were all loud in their praise of fine co-operation that the Stockholders and Policy holders had given the local Supervisor, Mr. E. L. Snyder. Mr. Snyder, in commenting upon the work for the month of May, reports it to be the best month for St. Louis in the history of the company. The following persons were added to the Association force and part time workers: Mr. Pink E. Harris, Mrs. Beulah Cyrus, Mr. T. Marion, Mr. Lewis R. May, Mr. Warnery, E. Smith, Mr. George W. Wade, Mr. Richard R. Freeman and Mr. J. D. Thorne. The wonder man, Mr. O. L. Lancaster, has broken the record by making the "Torch" in two successive months. A minimum of $20,000 worth of paid for business is the requirement for this honor, Mr. Lancaster has paid for more than $44,000 in two months. Mr. John B. Jones, a part time worker during the -month of May, clipped the wings of Mr. Lancaster by paying for more than $21,000 worth of business and placed fifty records in the stock, which breaks all records in the Agency. The men are full busi-ness and striving to make the Company's requirements for-a free trip to the Home Coming. August 25-27-28. Jury Finds Negro Who Wounded Whites Not Guilty, Attacked When He Objected To Working Overtime DETROIT, Mich., June 3, Rowle lette of the firm of Lewis & Rowle attorneys, of Detroit, Lee Sullivan, youth, charged with assault with in tent to kill and murder, after shoot ing three white men in the township of Springwells, Wayne county Mich Facts: On March 4th, 1925, Les Sullivan, Negro, 24 years old, was employed by the Blair Construction Company, a local firm of Detroit, as a laborer, and L. D. Dowley (white), Memphis, Tenn., superintendent of the Blair Construction Company had an argument because Sullivan refused to work overtime at 5:30 p.m. When Sullivan went to the office to check histools, Dowdy who was also a special officer, ordered Sullivan into the main office, claiming that he had placed him for attempting to strike him with a stalker. When Dowdy claimed that Sullivan attended to resist him and escape, and that he in turn called upon three of his friends to rearrest and subdue Sullivan, and that in the struggle Sullivan succeeded in getting possession of a gun which was on the table and shot him and two of his friends. Dowdy was in the hospital for seven weeks as a result of the wounds received and his friends for 22 days. Dowdy's story was corroborated by eight white witnesses, while Sullivan denies some, claiming that Dowdy and his southern friends took him in the office for the purpose of killing him. Dowdy and his southern friends were eye witnesses for the defendant, Sullivan, present in the office at the time of the shooting. There were, however, four witnesses who testified as to what happened before Sullivan was taken into the office. The case was tried by Judge W. Jayne, of the Circuit Court of Wayne County, who was exceedingly impartial in the matter. Sullivans defense was that of self-defense and extreme provocation.

Washington and Paul Lawrence Dunbar, have been-acclaimed the thriftiest colored schools in the world by J. Horner Turner, director of thrifts in the public schools. "The Booker T. Washington school became 100 per cent, thrifty April 21. Every child had purchased thrift stamps since school opened in September." Horner declared, in a talk before the Business Men's League. The school has an enrollment of 148. Dunbar became 100 per cent thrifty April 25, with an enrollment of $39. "Our colored schools, both with large enrollments have been making unusual thrift records. Can the colored schools of any other city equal this record? No matter how large or small the city, Tulsa claims to be a city unique in this particular." Horner issues a challenge to any other colored school to show such record. Both colored schools have ranked high consistently throughout the year in the matter of thrift. Within eight months, the Booker T. Washington has bought $1,087.60 in thrift stamps and the Dunbar, $406.34. In the number of ranked second enucing the city's schools in April and Booker T.

PITZWATER D.D., Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (C) 1825, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for June 7 PETER'S BROADENING VISION LESSON TEXT—Acts 10:11-11:18. GOLDEN TEXT—Of a truth I perceive no respecter of persons—Acts 10:34. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Strange Sight when Peter Saw. JUNIOR TOPIC—Why Peter Went to Caesarea. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC- IC-Peter's Broadening Vision. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Gospel Intended for All Men Through the conversion of Cornellus, the "middle wall of partition" was broken down (Eph. 2:1). 1. Cornellus (10:1:2). 1. His Official Position (v. 1). He was a Roman officer over a company of 100 soldiers. 2. His Character (v. 2). (1) A devout, pious man. (2) He was a praying man. (3) He was charitable. (4) He was respected by his family. The Lord chose Cornelius for the transition of the gospel to the Gentiles because of his character and position. 11. The Supernatural Preparation for the Transition of the Gospel to the Gentiles (10.3.33). In order to bring this about: 1. Two Visions Were Given. (1) The Vision of Cornelius (v. 3.8). While engaged in prayer, an angel and alms had come before God as a memorial, and instructed him to send to Joppa for Peter who would tell him what to do. (2) The vision of Peter (v. 9-16). He saw a certain vessel containing clean and unclean animals for down from heaven. This vessel let down from heaven and taken back indicated that both Jews and Gentiles were noceped on high. 2 A Messenger Sent From Cornelius (vv. 17-22). Peter was greatly perplexed over what he had seen, but not for long for messengers from Cornelius made inquiry at the gate for him. The Spirit informed Peter of the matter, and made him go, nothing doubting. Thus we see that both had been prepared for each other by God. 3. The Meeting of Cornelius and Peter (vv. 23-33). (1) Peter took six witnesses along (vv. 23). He had the good judgment to know that on a matter of so great importance, he must have witnesses. (2) Cornelius waiting for Peter (v. (2) Cornelius waiting for Peter (v. 24). He called together his kinsmen and friends. (3) Cornellus about to worship Peter (v. 23-26). Peter repudiated his act and protested that he was but a man alongside of Cornellus. (4) The reciprocal explanation (vv. 27-33). Peter explained to him how God had taken from him his Jewish prejudice, and asked that Cornellus state the purpose of his having sent for him. Cornellus explains how God had appeared unto him and instructed him to send for Peter. (11) Peter's Sermon (vv. 34-43). 1. The Introduction (vv. 34-33). He showed that God is no respecter of persons, but that in every nation those who fear God and work righteousness are acceded to Him. In the discourse he touches briefly upon the mission of Jesus showing that by means of His baptism and anointing with the Holy Spirit, He was qualified for His work as mediator. He then exhibited the work of Christ: (1) In His life (vv. 30,30). He went about doing good, even casting out demons as a proof that God was with Him (vv. 38), (2) In His death (vv. 34). The Just suffered for the unjust that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh (1 Pet. 3,18). (3) In His resurrection (vv. 40,41). God raised Him up the third day showing openly that Christ was His Son (Rom. 1,4), and that His sacrificial work was satisfactory (Rom. 1,25). IV. The Holy Spirit Poured Out (vv. 44,18). As the gospel was entering upon its wildest embrace, the Spirit came in new power. V. Peter Vindicates His Ministry to the Gentiles (11:14). Being called to account for visiting and eating with Gentiles, Peter rehearsed the whole story in such a way that his narrative took the form of logical argument, and showed how that God had set His seal upon the work by the miraculous gift of the Spirit.

Address all communications to George Welle Parker, the Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Copyright, 1925, by Associated Negro Press. Who were the Etruscans? N. N. L. Clarinda, Iowa. The Etruscans were the pre-historic people who inhabited Italy previously to the founding of Rome. They oblaged according to eminent archaeologists, to the great Hamitic family of Pelagians who were spread throughout the Mediterranean countries. These people were of African blood. Did Napoleon possess any African blood? - G. F., D. Boston, Mags. Napoleon was a native of the Island of Corsica, and of Italian blood. If one wished to stretch matters and claim that all Latin races are of mixed blood, then one might that Napoleon was of Latin blood also. He would certainly not Nordic. He would hardly say, however, that he was of African blood. What great monument, is at Abu Simbel and where is the latter place? F. E. J. - dayton, Ohio. The rock long emblem of the great city, is located at Abu Simbel in Upper Egypt above the second cataract. The four great statues, two on either side of the entrance, are also far famed. Who was Antar? R. D. S., Denver, Colo. An Arabian hero whose exploits are sung throughout Arabia to this day. He was born a slave, but was freedom by his bravery and rose to be the national hero of Arabia. He described himself as "black and swarthy as an elephant." "Are there any Moors living in Spain today? B. C. H., Detroit, Mich. Yes, a very large number. Also a great part of the southern Spanish population are descendants of the Moors. Was. St. Augustine a Negro?—F. R. T. Chicago, Ill. St. Augustine was a Negro and one of the early fathers of the Roman church. He carried Christianity into Britain. He was born in Africa, as were many others of the early Christian prelates.

Mulattoes And The 'Anglo.Saxon Clubs' Mulattoes And The 'Anglo.Saxon Clubs' By William Pickens Associated Norma Llores Associated, Negro Press Mr John Powell of Virginia, who writes heroically in the Daily Press of Newport News, is a little late in his efforts to preserve "racial integrity" for a race which is as naked as the Anglo-Saxon race is in general, and the white southern end of It. in particular. The so-called Anglo-Saxon (a hyphenate name in itself) consists of German. Old Britons, Norseans, Romans (themselves a amplified mixture of dark North Asia and still darker North Africa) and of other languages, else that is human. There is hardly any strain of blood that has not entered this Anglo-Saxon. But the southerner of the United States, has, in addition to all this misnagration an inextricable infusion of plain West African Negro. There are between two and three million mulattoes mostly in the south, today, besides the other "host tribe" of one million or more of mulattoes who have become blood parts of the white race, in order to escape being oppressed by the white race. Strange to relate, the very meanness of the white race to the black has caused the proud white to receive a large infiltration of black blood. Much of the Negro blood that runs in the veins of proud white southerners today would not be there, if the Negro had been treated as an equal being and had therefore found, it of no consequence to "pass" for white when he happened to be seven-eights white or less. And still, at this late date, Powell may do some good and max delay amalgamation a little if only he and his "clubs" would begin, to work at the right point; to prevent southern white men from making any more mutilations. Striet laws to prevent that would do at least some good. But a law to prevent colored people in Virginia from marrying white people and especially to prevent colored men from marrying white women, is a great joke. For it is a law to prevent this titing that does not happen, or which is so rare as to be absolutely negligible. But the intrusion of white males into the Negro race is white males into the Negro race is every hour in Virginia and every day in Newport News. And, remember, it is the prominent white man, of the club-forming and law-making class, that has done, and is doing this thing, against which they are always crying out. Let me ask Mr. Powell and the editor of the Press some questions, which may start even them to thinking: Do you know that that the blood that has been forced over from the white south into the black (once black) south, has come from the very "best" class of the whites; from governors, legislators, judges, orators, editors and other aristocrats? Do you know that the two greatest white men that Virginia ever produced and which you never ever perceive as the greatest men that the nation ever produced) both had colored children? Would you also like to have me to take you to the grandchildren ' of Zachary Taylor (once president of the nation) who now live in Alabama and are "niggers" in your vocabulary? But inasmuch as Alabama is so racially "pure" to pretense that it may lynch both you and me if we actually go together to the home of Negroes, even though the Negroes happen to be the direct grandchildren of a white President of the United States, I will prefer, any day you name, to conduct either or both of you on a visit to the daughter, the grand daughter and the little great grand daughter of the foregrass Confederate States of America all of whom are brown and live in one of the border states not so far from you. Do you know that the states that have the fiercest laws to prevent inter-marriage of black and white, are producing mulattoes at the greatest rate-per unit of the colored population? And do you know why? It is because such a law favors the mulatto producers, the white men, by giving colored girls seduced by them, than by training them as slaves. It is simply a free public license issued to the males of the stronger and more numerous race. And now you can guess why intelligent Negro men are always and always will be opposed to such laws? Because they regard the white legislators who are growing enthusiastic over some "intermarriage" bill, as simply statutory immunity for themselves and their kind, who are only authors of interracial marriage not seen that law to compel white women with a colored child is born to one of them, to marry the colored woman and legitimatize the You may write all the sham laws you please, but so long as you make the females of a weaker people helpless before the males of a stronger, the imposition, bastardly amalgamation will follow just as sure as the results that follow the operation of the law of gravitation. How amalgamation can be prevented, I do not know; since it never has yet been prevented. But I do know that the only way on God's earth to slow it up and let it be decent while it goes, is to make the races that confront each other of absolutely equal status. In such a condition of equality it is conceivable that the proper education of both races might greatly retard, and if it be preventable, might even prevent amalgamation. But it would take a brave white man to admit the truth of that truth in the south. Howard University Strike A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing."—Howard hilltop continues to rage with civil indictments and counter-indictments as between the Faculty headed by President J. Stanley Durkee (white) and the striking students. From the maze of allegations which are being hurled back and forth, it is difficult to say who is in the right. Nor is it possible to forecast just what kind of ashes the burning flames of the Howard insurrection may bring forth. There is one question, though, which is outstanding in the disgraceful hilltop strike. That question runs paralleled to the question put by Governor Coolidge when the Boston police strike was in progress. The Govern or said that no one had a right to strike against the public. Howard is aware since the pride of the Boys' educational institutions of higher training. A quasi-Federal institution, receiving appropriations of the people's money through Congress it represents a benefit, as it were, of the people—an endowment for the training of Negro youth for the public service. The Howard student of the past has made a high mark in the world service and upon his virtues the Howard student of the future has built high hopes,—hopes which, amid this strike spectacle of today, are indeed placed in jeopardy. At best, and regardless of facts, it is difficult to justify any Howard student under twenty-one years of age, coming to this public university for a brief four or five year course, making himself unamenable to the University's rules and regulations, even though it may be latter shown that they are unjust. Such action is not in keeping with sense, good judgment, and regard for the university, which, first of all, in this particular, has its eyes set upon the higher education of those Negro youths who seek such an armor with which to take part in the Race's battles of life. That these bravado youth who have scarcely yet touched the hem of life's garment, should take strike means to overthrow rules is a severe blow to the call of education. There are probably sufficient colleges in America today to accommodate those students who cannot for a few years, stand the gaff of rules and regulations, unjust though they may be. Of course, it is patent knowledge that Dr. J. Stanley Durke has, for some reason or another, sought to make Howard over into a “high brow” situation instead of accepting it open to discrimination with practical discrimination against vernacular classes of applicants, as to whom special and extraordinary rules of debarment have been made. And it must be embarrassing to him that the “high brow” atmosphere which he sought to create in Howard’s student body should revolt against the administration. Even so, the true purposes of education must be served; and Negro youth of America must look upon Howard as a privilege rather than a right. Hence, the striking students, who might be justified were they men and women of the world rather than feeling the solely responsible for the failure of disgrace. Howard now presents—a picture which is not as all consoling to those who are fighting the sterner battles of life in behalf of the struggling Race. "Good Night!" Tadies! "Good Night!" Ladies! According to the Joacquious "stnh" pen of Miss Evelyn C. Hunt, (white) society and dramatic writer of William Bardolph Hearst's Washington Heights of thousands of sympathetic Christian white women in the world who are not "ladies;" for, as Miss Hunt says, in her comments in last Sunday's Hearst Herald regarding the walk-out of the two hundred colored singers who were humiliated beyond performance over the conduct of Washington segregationists, "Every lady would have walked out if she had found herself seated next to a person who would have been a case of "Good Night." Ladies." But, as we said be fore the Hearst dramatic editor "stubbed" her pen. In the first place, although Miss Hunt evidently takes it as a presumption, no where in the dictionary are we able to find that 'ladies' are limited to the white women's group. In fact, going back to the dreary past, when Moses married the daughter of Jethro, who was decidedly black, but nevertheless, one of the finest in the land, his life is still adorned with all the reasonless reasons, 'her little' depends upon no scheme of color or for description.

Why no one, as vet has been able to tell just who, in the State of Arkansas, is responsible for the increase, during the past 40 years, of 550*per cent in the number of murders. In the third phase, however, and for the sake of argument, we will presume that when Miss Hunt referred to "Ladies," she meant, whites only. We're quite ready to admit that, in certain spheres, white women, "ladies," and others, deem it a calamity to come in contact with colored people in public places. As a rule, the poorest and more illiterate attend the contact. On the other hand, the more of a lady the "offended" is, the more she realizes along with the colorful "offenders" that contact in the theatre of other public gathering is of small concern and has no bearing upon the social status of either white or black. This is the view that all colored people take and this is the view that intelligent Christian white people take. Contact is not content, and while all white ladies are not interested in the artist sense or in the restricted sense of Evelyn C. Hunt. Following the Washington Auditorium episodes, so upsetting to Miss Hunt, the colored ladies of the Mu-Su-Lit Club, Washington, entertained at tea many white ladies who had been present at the Quinquennial of International Women it is said that the majority of the guests present were foreign ladies of distinction, who were delighted with the courtesies extended to them and pleased to be in a lady model. A modest question As Miss Hunt must see, it was quite an error to be so selfish to presume that all ladies were restricted to the confines of American shores. Be that as it may, we'll be ready to *rv*, even in Heaven, if Miss Hunt's rule obtains—and we are sure it will not—and all ladies who whom we are acquainted, get up and walk out of Heaven, Wouldn't that be awful! Tame Sweet Home?— "Hot dogs, pretzels, sand-pops are all right for one between cans; but please give me some pork chops or steak and onions one or twice a day," said a general looking officer and watched us carve the typewriter keys. "What's the big idea?" we relied savagely at the interruption, "This is a busy desk, not a free lunch counter." "Come on now, Mr. Cameraman, and hold your horses. Noting that you often show signs of brain poverty I want to give you our honest to-goodness idea," our visitor laughingly replied. "Well, shoot away and make it snappy." "It's just like this, Mr. Camerman," our uninvited guest continued, with a shrug of his broad shoulders. "I two always claimed that colored people are the greatestimitators in the world. Now, during the war, when the white folks were swarming into the city and delicatessen shops or two room apartments were all the rage, the colored people were just as satisfied as they could be with detached houses and broad lawns, with plenty of space and air; but now that the war is over and the housing situation is easing up they have gone wild about one room apartments and kitcheneat affairs; and those ants who don't stop the delicatessen store and bring those potato salad and coleslaw are wearing out two and three can openers each week, I bring the tops off sardines and beef. I tell you, Sir, Home Sweet Home, with Mother in the kitchen basting chicken and baking mince pie is almost a thing of the past." "But this is a modern day, when to save time is to lengthen life," we interrupted, reflectively. "I know all about that", our visitor persisted; "but what I want to show you is that the imitation idea of Home Sweet Home a la apartment style, which we absorbed from the white folks is putting us on the rocks of financial and physical life. You own a bunch of stories soon drew a bunch of Chinese laudries and Jewish tailor shops, together with some serve-me-quick lunch counters, where all they have is cakes and coffee. Oh, it's modern life all right. The doctors, drugstores and dentists are reaping a windfall nowadays; and it's easier for me to walk on my hands than to walk on a rock. She" rather take it to the tailor shop and pay for it with her own coin." "Don't tell me," continued our visitor sadly, as he arrose to depart. "the good old community of interests, which used to prevail in the home is becoming very wobbly. Money! Business! Bush! They have all taken a wallop at Home Sweet Home, and knocked out the oneness which we had when I was a kid. Those things are all right, but the home of sacrifice, love, unity, compassion, quietude, is no place for them," he fairly shouted as he hurriedly left. And we're not sure the brother was not correct. Are you? "Advancement" Advancement "Advancers" *Advancement*—W. D. E. W. D. DuBois, Jim Johnson and Company and the faithful cohorts of the National Relation for the Advancement of Colored, People are here west, and will stage 1925 annual convention of that august body in Denver, Colo. in high altitude and far distant from any possible "Crisis." While we're still a bit disturbed because the N. A. A. C. P. was not more active last November in endeavoring to advance Dr. Charlie H. Roberts, of Harlem, New York, to the United States House of Representatives, we're still looking and listening for whatever advances the advancers advance during their coming convention. A glimpse of the programmed personnel of orators who are to be present convinces us that strong judicial atmosphere will hover over the N. A. A. C. p confab. For instance, Clarence Darrow, Esq. (white) defender of Leopold and Loisb, who are now engaged in stone masonry work in an Illinois home, upon the absorbing topic of beneficial capital punishment. Mr. Darrow's viewpoint is dear to the heart of every colored man, particularly "down home" where the formalities of a trial are frequently dispensed with. judge Ben B. Lindsey, too, who recently kicked the Colorado Klan, is to give some judicial advice to the N. A. A. C. P. delegates and tell them how to address the activities far broader scope. More seriously, however, and in full admission of the excellent work of the N. A. A. C. P. we trust we may not prove the slightest offense in suggesting that next year's plan might well include a bit more of activity in carrying specific cases, involving constitutional interpretations, straight through to the highest court in the land. Could not the facts adduced by local N. A. A. C. P. branches in various states where constitutional amendments are involved, be put under consideration and carried from court to court for final adjudication? It not a fact that constitutionalism would lie in United States courts against railroad lines which violate the application of rules under Jim Crow laws, where those pernicious regulations are lawfully effective. Could not non-discriminatory station facillities be enforced for colored passengers en route? Would not a few cases under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments bring about a few new points for settlement? Could not equalized school facilities be judicially sought in many states where discrimination abounds? Far be it to us, in our humble hands, to trespass suggestions the mighty program of the Dubois machine, but believing that an ounce of litigation is worth a pound of oratory, we wonder if the latter does not need ballast and the former air? Female breadwinners of Jacksonville, Florida, taken by groups of 15,726 are made up of 5,126 native white women, 10,220 native colored women and 380 foreign born women, or based upon one hundred per cent such groups comprise 32.6 per cent native whites, 65.0 per cent native blacks and 2.4 per cent foreign born. Says the U. S. Women's Bureau, which made the study: "Foreignborn women gainfully employed in Jacksonville were insignificant in numbers, while, as would be expected, the majority of the women gainfully employed were. Negroes. If the Negro women were alone considered, Jacksonville would lead Wilkes-Barre and Hanover, Pa., Butte, Mont, and Passale, N. J., in the actual and relative number of women gainfully employed." In the array of almost amazing facts disclosed by the study are (1) Work distribution of Negro women in Jacksonville, and (2) the fact that foreign-born women as competitors of American labor have not yet made their competition harmful in the far South. In northern industrial cities, Negro women in competition severely benefited from female workers' fearful inroads in employment which might be more equitably distributed among native white and black women. On the other hand, even in Florida, the colored women depicted in the study have shown marked initiative in employment. The 10,220 Negro women in the group studied were employed in outstanding industries as follows: Manufacturing, 99; selling trades, 157; saleswomen, 101; telephone and graph operators, 72; telecommunications, 99; stenogram operators and typists, 89; professional services, 281; remainder in diversified occupations, aside from domestic- and personal service, and gainful employment carried on in the homes. It is well known, of course, that these loyal workers are discriminatory against in wages, home facilities, educational advantages and in the protection of life, limb and property. Yet, it is indeed a light in the darkness, a silver lining in the cloud, that hovers over many cities of the south to realize that colored women are pressing forward in an atmosphere which has not yet been effective enough to hire foreign-born workers, frequently menace the bread and meat of American workers, white and black, where production is paramount and loyalty and patroltism secondary in the minds of a few greedy employers. The pressure exerted by a wind blowing twenty miles an hour is about four times as great as one blowing ten miles an hour.
