XIV NO. 9 NEGRO G UNITED STAT APPEALS GET DISFRANCHIS County Registrars Appeal Court Which Ordered In Decision Lost Novar Appropriated $2,500 To Whole Country Interest Boley Negroes Take Lea BOLEY, Okla., June 24. (Special to The St. Louis Argus).—It looks as if the question as to whether or not the Negroes in Oklahoma shall be denied the right to register and vote in the county, state and national elections, is being fought to a finish that will settle the questions perhaps forever, according to statements purported to be from interested parties: in a suit that has now reached the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. The case in question is being watched with unusual interest throughout the state and nation, attracting attention as nothing else has done since Oklahoma became a state. The Negroes here are determined to exercise the right to vote, or have the Constitution of the United States declared null and void. The citizens of Boley are in the limelight by taking the leading part in the suit. The Okfuskee County Registration case which was tried in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Oklahoma, last November, has been appealed to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. This case was prosecuted by five hundred fifty Negroes of Boley, Oklahoma, as party plaintiffs, against the County and Precinct Registrars of Okfuskee County, Oklahoma, to compel their registration as qualified voters. The case was tried in United States District Court at Tulsa, Nov. 3, 1924, upon the petition of plaintiffs for a percentage law on the county and Precinct Registrars of Boley Precinct to register and to issue registration certificate to 550 Negroes of Boley, entiling them to vote in the general and all state and county elections thereafter. The County Registrars being dissatisfied with the order of the United States District Court, has perfected an appeal from the judgment of the United States District Court to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Boley is a Negro town of more than three thousand population, and before the trial of this case there had been only about eight Negroes registered in the Boley Precinct since the enactment of the registration law of 1916. It was the contention of the plaintiffs that the Registrars of Okufskee County had continuously, since the enactment of the registration law of 1916, discriminated against citizens of the Boley Precinct on account of their race and color; that the Registrars absolutely refused to register the plaintiffs because they were Negroes, thereby subjecting the plaintiffs to an unjust discrimination on account of their race and color contrary to the Constitution of the United States. The Registrars were represented at the trial by the County Attorney of Okutskee County, assisted by Mr. 'Sid White, the noted cowboy attorney of Okemah. The plaintiffs were represented by Mr. J. J. Bruce of the firm of Bruce & Brewer, Negro lawyers of Muskogee County, conducted the case. Boley, the Negroes, and succeeded in securing a peremptory writ of Mandanua against the County and Precinct Registrars of the County, commanding them to register and issue registration certificates to five hundred fifty Negroes of the Boley Precinct, thereby placing on the rott as qualified voters more Negroes in that county than ever registered before. The Legislature of, Oklahoma in 1925 session passed a resolution and appropriated $2500.00 to hire special counsel to assist the attorneys for the Registrars in prosecuting the appeal. The firm of Lydick, McPherren and Wilson of Oklahoma City, have entered appearance as additional counsel for the appellants. Mr. Lydick is an ex-Justice of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma. It is Mr. Bruce's theory that the WARN There Will Be No Mail The St. Lo Will Be In The Post DELIVERY FRE This will necessitate the Closing than usual. Out of Town Correspondence, Classified Ads Must Reach the Office Not Later Than Local News Items will be acco The Argus will be on sale by soon, FRIDAY, JULY 3. The St. Louis Argus $2500.00 appropriation, should be split between each attorney for the plaintiffs and the defendants, as the state was interested on both sides of the case. But, he says' that if the Negroes would raise an equal amount of money, the case would be equally balanced in the Circuit Court of Appeals. WOMEN VOTERS WANT SEPARATE NORMAL SCHOOL The League Of Women Voters Gathers Data And Presents Same To Board Of Education Shows Inadequate Facilities For Training Teachers Under Present Arrangements. Separate housing, faculty and administration for the Negro Normal School, attended by teachers in the St. Louis Negro schools are urged by the League of Women Voters of St. Louis as a means of improving conditions in the Negro schools of the city. The recommendation is contained in a letter sent to members of the Board of Education. Commenting on this, the league stated in its letter: "A booklet labeled 'St Louis Public Schools, St. Louis College Courses at the Summer Teachers' College, Spring Term Beginning January 26, 1925" contains a list of thirty-nine names under the heading 'Faculty Summer Teachers' College, Spring 1925." Of these thirty-nine persons, but four are giving their full time to normal teaching and five more are dividing their time between normal school teaching and high school teaching. "The other names include the principal of the John Marshall School, the principal of the Cottage Avenue School, the principal of the Summer High School (also listed as principal of the Normal School), the assistant principal of the Summer High School and twenty-four high school teachers. "We feel that it is very unfortunate for the St. Louis schools to give young people an incorrect impression as to the magnitude of a school or the value of the work offered them. We believe, moreover, that it is difficult for Normal School students to work satisfactorily in a building which is housing inadequately 1450 high school pupils and a kindergarten. "The fact that, despite the confusion existing because of too great entanglement of the Normal School and the high school, there were during the last term seventy-five students engaged in normal school work. This indicates a sufficient willingness on the part of the colored people of St. Louis to co-operate in the improvement of their schools." Globe-Democrat. To Speak At First Baptist The Rev. Dr. J. C. Austin, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church of Pittsburgh, Pa., will preach at First Baptist church, Sunday and Monday night.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1925 NEGROES AND KLAN WAGE A LEGAL BATTLE Los Angeles Editors Fight Criminal Libel Charges In Publication Of Klan Letter LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 24.—A legal battle is being waged here for what is really nothing more than the supremacy of the Klan over the Negro's rights as a free American citizen over klan dictations. The case is a criminal libel suit filed against Editor Bass of the California Eagle, and his wife, Mrs. Charlotte Bass, by the Imperial representative of the California Klan, Gus W. Price. Question Right Of Publication The case of the California Eagle vs. the California Ku Klux Klan began last week in Judge Chamber's court. The plaintiffs charged that the defendants published a letter in their paper April 10, last, which was injurious and defamentatory to the Klan official and tended to disturb the peace. Price is taking the stand purported to show that the defendant was ignorant of the letter in question until it appeared in the paper. James Daniels, D. Thomas and Mamie Spur lock, colored, testified that there had been no trouble in Watts due to Klan activities. Klan Sent Letter Lee and Robt. Buford, witnesses for the defense, declared that the letter published had been delivered at his home as a message from the Klan. Other witnesses testified as to the truth of his statement and identified the letter. Endeavored to Bribe Editor Bass testified that he secured the letter from police authorities, and that he had an interview with Representative Price before publishing the same. He testified that he told Price of his intentions to publish the thresening letter. Price, thergen, told him the letter was misspelled, and the colored man's best friend. He also stated that the colored people should join hands with the hooded order. Decision Significant Decision Significant The defense sought to establish evidence of the Klan's activities in Watts. Officials of a colored church testified as to dissensions practiced in their churches by the Klan. The concluding argument of the defense reduced the case to the Klan versus the American government. Judge. Chambers took the case under advertisement to hand-down his decision at a latter date. The entire city is awaiting its outcome because of the great significance resting on the decision. It is expected that the strong defense presented, by the editor of the Eagle will result in his freedom from the charge. GOV. ("MA") FERGUSON OF TEXAS, GRANTS PARDONS TO THIRTY COLORED MEN GOV. ("MA") FERGUSON OF TEXAS, GRANTS PARDONS TO THIRTY COLORED MEN AUSTIN, Texas, June 24—After a thorough investigation of the records of scores of colored inmates of the state penitentiary by a pardon board under James E. Ferguson, and a report to Governor Miriam A. ("Ma") Ferguson, the newly elected head of the state government performed one of the most outstanding acts of executive clemency that the Lone Star State has ever known, by signing pardons for 30 Negroes. Most of the men to whom Gov. Ferguson granted pardons had had no friends or relatives to intercede for them. It was Gov. Ferguson who several weeks ago issued orders for the state militia to protect two colored men confined in a Dallas jail from a mob of whites, if they had to shoot to kill; which they did, repulsing the mob and killing one of its members. Rev. Jay Smith of East St. Louis, lost a suit for $5000 damages against Police Commissioner Mike Whalen and Officer Ernest Goff of East St. Louis, in the circuit court at Belville last week. The suit arose out of the colored preacher's arrest after he was alleged to have attended a klan meeting in East St. Louis, June 2, 1924. In his petition, Rev. Smith declared that he was arrested, detained four hours, searched and that a warrant charging branch of public peace was sworn out against him. Police Magistrate J. J. Driscoll dismissed the case, but the plaintiff claimed it injured his prestige and brought suit against Whalen and Goff. The defendants claimed they had nothing to do with the arrest.

Refused Bonds. PRICE, Utah, June 24—Four men who are believed to be the ring leaders of the mob, which on last Thursday took Robert Marshall, a colored miner suspected of murder from a posse and lynched him, have been arrested and are confined in the county jail. They are being held on a charge of first degree murder upon information filed with Justice of the Peace, J. W. Hamond by O. K. Clay. County Attorney, who, with F. W. Keller, district attorney of the seventh judicial district, conducted an investigation of the lynching. Held Without Bail Charlie Atwood, a barber; Joseph Golding, proprietor of the Golding Brother Vulcanizing Works; George O'Nell, a barber; and Morgan King, a city electrician, all of Price, are the men being held. They were refused bonds. No date was set for their hearing. Expect Convictions Expect Convictions "I expect no more arrests and am confident we have sufficient evidence and enough witnesses to convict these men of first direct murder," said County Attorney Charles the arrangement. Attorney Kelly declared that the majority of the citizens wanted absolute law enforcement and were not in favor of the lynching. Accused of Murder Marshall was accused of the murder of Marshal Milton Burns of Castle Gates, who was found shot to death. He was arrested four days after the murder in his cabin. The posse was set upon by a mob, while conveying their prisoner to fail and the hanging followed. THE AMERICAN NEGRO'S CLIMB FROM SLAVERY Has Accumulated Billions In Industrial School And Church Property In Last Sixty Years TUSKEGEI INST. Ala. June 24- January 1, 1863, may be reckoned as the date on which the American colo- red man received his first chance to make real progress. Thirteen days before this, that is, on December the eighteenth, 1863, the thirteenth amendment, declaring slavery abolished, in the United States, was adopted. The Enamcipation Proclamation of 1863 applied only to those states and sections of states then in rebellion against the federal government. There were almost a million slaves who were "for the present left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued." The decree of December 18, however, freed all. On and about the first day of the following January the late masters and the late slaves entered into agreements whereby the former were to furnish the land and the latter the labor to the end that both perchance might live and prosper. Thus white and black set to work to rebuild the wasted and devastated South. In this rebuilding the Negro not only tilled the soil of the South, cleared her forests and helped to build her cities, but in fifty-nine years he has himself made a remarkable progress. The extent of this progress is shown in what follows: Economic Progress Homes owned, 1863, 1200; 1925, 600,000; gain, 588,000. Farms operated; 1866, 20,000; 1925, gain 360,000.

FIVE SUMMER SCHOOLS OPEN IN THE STALE State Supt. Chas. A. Lee Is Strong For Negro Education. Course Offered To Teachers Or Those Desiring To Teach, Free. By E. W. Baker, Correspondent JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 24. Five free summer schools for colored teachers opened their ten weeks session June 8 in St. Joseph, New Madrid, Hannibal, Springfield and Caps Giardieu. The funds for conducting these summer schools were appropriated by the last Legislature upon the request of the State Superintendent, Chas. A. Lee who gave us his research. The teachers established "that the colored teachers of the State of Missouri did not receive sufficient wages to pay the expenses of coming to Lincoln University in Jefferson City." He, therefore, was of the opinion that the summer schools established near the colored teachers would enable them to attend school when they otherwise would not have been able to attend. "There is no charge," said Lee, "to attend these schools. Both buildings are furnished free with janitor services by the Boards. This is an excellent spirit manifested by the school authorities in the various towns." According to reports in the offices of the State Superintendent, there is a total of 206 attending the five summer schools and 81 attending the summer school at Lincoln University. Apparently, the Negro schools of the state were the least successful year's work in their history. Statistics show that the enrollment has increased from 32,000 to 36,000 in the past two years; and teachers have increased 90% in the same period. There is a campaign in evidence in the state being backed by Supt. Lee to abolish illiteracy from the Negro race and afford it educational advantages. Supt. Lee believes that the colored people will do any kind of work better when educated, and will be better citizens if educated, than if compelled to stay in the darkness of illiteracy. He reports that districts throughout the state are providing better school facilities for colored children, and that parents are sending their children to school in large numbers, for long ago. Supt. Lee sent a letter to all school boards asking them to provide school equal in value for the colored schools that they pre- NEW PHONE NUMBER CENTRAL 4620 N PAGES PRICE 5 CENTS O SCHOOL KITTRELL COLLEGE IS THE BENEFICIARY Prof. W.

Officials To Consider If Permission Of Such A Demonstration Is True Americanism WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24.—As results of the announcement of the coming Ku Klux Klan parade in this city, in which it is estimated that 100,000 members of the "invisible empire" will participate, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has set up a violent protest. A letter from the Negro Welfare organization sent to government officials of the District of Columbia, declared that the aims of the klan conflicted with the constitutional principles of American government. The association petitioned the district commissioners to "consider these representations with a view to determining, whether their duty as conservators of the public peace and order justify the permission they granted for the holding of the Ku Klux Klan parade. COLORED OFFICERS TO HEAD KU KLUX PARADE WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24—A seemingly strange bit of incongruity has developed in the arrangements for the forecasted parade of thousands of Klaners in this city. August 8, thru the designation of the entire colored police force of the Capitol, under the command of a Jewish sergeant, Leo Parks, to head the procession. The colored officers will have charge of the policing of the affair. It is believed that this duty has been placed in their hands because they are likely to enforce law and order more rigidly. J. A. Mueller, a representative of the Klan members, commissioned for the holding of the parade from Col. C. P. Sherrill, Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds, has announced that President Coolidge will be asked to address the Klan members during their meeting. PROTEST MEETING A public meeting will be held at Argus Hall, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock for the purpose of protesting the Klan parade which is scheduled to take place in Washington, D. C., in the early part of August, Chas. K. Cohn will preside. Right To Question Jury Panel On Klan Upheld The St. Louis Court of Appeals, in an opinion written Saturday, in which it upheld the right of an attorney to question members of a jury panel as to membership in the Ku Klux Klan, termed the klan "an organization that has in recent years been condemned and vindicated, exalted and abhorred, denounced and justified, despised and praised in almost every form where men are want to meet and discuss questions of public interest." s: ., i 5 oe s NEW.

Their offering is on a par with last week. The specialty numbers are all different and the dancing just as spirited. The jazz band is again a conspicuous factor in the good entertaining. Most of the principals have work similar to the previous week and all are generously applauded. The opening is a medley of popular choruses introducing individual dancing talent. Ernest Mackball again scores with his clarinet blues. Ernestine and James Rodgers sing "Eliza" and do some fancy dancing followed by their version of the Charleston, which is a scream. Sam Jenkins, Mackall and W. B. Johnson have a street sketch that is full of fun. The girls do an audience promenade which ends on the stage, singing "Nobody's Sweetheart Now." Little Albert and Billie Adams are paired with a dancing and comedy sketch. Alice Whitman with the girls and Princess Wee Wee go over big with another dance chorus. Miss Alice Buck, getting a big hand, Mattie Dorsey sings two more blues selections with a take-off by little Billie. Alberta Whitman singing "I Want a Baby All My Own" does a vamp turn with the girls followed with artistic dancing and Bert's dandy prancing. Essie Whitman's domestic character sketch with a telephone song gets an encore. The show ends with a whirlwind of dancing. The entire production is going over as only the Whitmans can pilot a show, and the patrons are well pleased. The engagement will close Sunday night MA RAINEY AND VAUDEVILLE NEXT WEEK Ma Rainey, "Mother of the Blues" and her own Jazz Band, will feature an extraordinary vaudeville bill at the Booker Washington next week Johnny Woods, the witty ventriloquist, and his funny mannikin, "Little Henry" will be a part of the show. Earnest Whitman and Josephine Leggett have a sketch that is making a big hit; and Floyd and Bealth will offer a screaming comedy act. Monday will be "Day Day," for the patrons. Every person who enters the theatre will receive an envelope containing coupon, stamps or money. The feature at the Comet Theatre this Saturday, "Declasse" is an adaptation from Ethel Barrymore's stage success of the same title. It draws a vivid contrast between social leadership and social ostracism in London's aristocracy and affords Corinne Griffith a highly emotional role of wide range. Lloyd Haghes is her leading man. Rin-Tin-Tin, the founder dog, has a real acting part in "Tracked in the Snow Country," the Sunday special. Most interest in him in this picture comes from the fact that he starts out as a "heavy," being falsely accused of a crime. Rin-Tin-Tin's efforts to bring the real, culprit to justice and thereby establish his own innocence provide the big dramatic thread of the story. Leatrice Joy in "The Dressmaker from Paris" on Monday; Shifley Mason in "The Star-Dust Trail" and a western drama, "The Cowboy Prince" on Tuesday; Ramond Griffith in "The Night Club" on Wednesday, are all his features. Ronald-Colman and Blanche Sweet in "His Supreme Moment" will be the attraction on Thursday and Friday. It deals with the love of two women for one man. Miss Sweet plays the role of a Broadway actress and dancer. Two of her dance numbers, an Oriental fantasy and a wild Spanish fandango, are presented on the screen in natural color by the improved Technicolor Process. The Retina Skydome will have another song and dance and comedy revue by The Manhattan 'company this Saturday. It is going big as a stage attraction in addition to the regular picture program. Trine Scruggs and her company of six, registered such a bit last Sunday that it was necessary to turn away patrons. Miss Scruggs is St. LOUIS' Champion Blues singer and she is making good wherever she appears. She and her company have been engaged for this Sunday night, and a new show will be presented. A retaliation of 'good comedy, dancing and the latest song numbers are included in this program with feature pictures and novelties. 'Man and Wife' will be the photo-play feature next Thursday. It is a picture of big dramatic punches featuring Gladys Leslie, Maurice Castellain, Robert Elliott, Norma Shearer, Earnest Hillard and Edna May Spooner THE STAR "The Monster," a creepy, mystery tale, featuring Lon Chaney, will be the Star Theatre special this Saturday. While there is some relieving humor that saves one's nerves, there follows one series of hair-raising adventures after another.

Mr. Donaldson is a man of lofty ideals, and absolutely square on a mater of justice. But, the Billboard, is a business proposition, and not an adventure in mere sentiment. Jackson covered and produced magnificently from the editorial standpoint, and the readers within the race went up by leaps and bounds, but the advertising end, with which Jackson was not responsible, of course, never satisfactorily measured up. Hence, the directors, in keeping with the general policy of economy decided to discontinue the department together with two others. Mr. Jackson was given a most hearty letter of tribute and recommendation, signed by Mr. Donaldson, and all of the other officials of the company. He was given a month's pay, and a substantial bonus, by Mr. Donaldson, and assured by Mr. Donaldson that he would personally travel anywhere to recommend Jackson for any position. Mr. Jackson, who lives at 231 West 140th street, this city, will-consider several offers now before him, before deciding on another venture. For almost a score of years he was in the intelligence department of the U. S. Government, and travelled all over the world. He was a man of fine personality, character, ability and experience.' He has written for many metropolitan publications, and is the eastern representative of the Associated Negro Press.

However, it rarely comes to notice that any two pals among the group have all of these characteristics in a similar measure. When it does occur, something very tangible usually grows out of their activities. The Comedy Club of New York is just such a result. It is the outcome of just such a set of circumstances. The story of its being goes back to the days when James Moores, the club president, was in the employ of Pauline Mystic, whose act has long been a vaudeville feature in the better years of the country. This empire provided young Moores with frequent opportunity to perceive the many social features of the life of the white artist that was to a great extent beyond the reach of this colored phototype. He and Morris McKinney were friends. McKinney too, had been with famed white actors such as William Faversham and Maude Odell, with both of whom he had traveled in a part servant, part, professional in minor parts. McKinney was the type that does not remain long in service capacities. He soon became one of those local dramatic lights so often featured in dramatic productions at community, churches, schools, etc. From that he graduated into Negro drama on a commercial basis for a brief period in "Pa Williams' Gal." During a full in lecture theatrical during the summer of 1924, these two boys disclosed one to the other, their ideas of a social organization for Negro performers that would be more ambitious in scope than anything before attempted, a club that would provide all the features that prevailed in the white clubs they had seen. Youth has courage and loves adventure. So having boostered one another's ambitions, they plunged into their plans. With $750, their all, they assumed possession of a baker's kitchen, a large building that is part of the Lafayette theingroup, so impoverished were they with having paid a month's rent and deposited security for two more that they were able to furnish a He faced them—these men who had harmed people of his blood—and wrung the price of the great wrong from their bodies.

IT'S A REAL THRILLER scant corner of what appeared to be a vast emptiness, but with that they started. The profession and its friends adopted the new club with alacrity, and since then one at a time they have furnished nine rooms that occupy the entire floor space available. They had hoped to do this within a few years, but by turning back every cent of profits above actual living expenses the club facilities were actually accomplished in less than nine months. In that sense period the membership had grown to over a thousand. The club contains a reception room that is 18 by 45 feet with heavy battleship linoleum on its floor, hand-painted mural decorations on its walls and with heavily upholstered furniture for the comfort of the visitors. Admitting this the executive office just off it is a card room, the natural adjunct to every social club. The general mensual assembly rooms with its billard tables adjoin this; and beyond that is a recreational room large enough for rehearse; any ordinary chorus group; in fact several of the largest shows have, been launched there since its brief career commenced. An assembly room for club meetings, or for rent, for the occasional meetings of other bodies, is in frequent use. There is also a conference room located so as to command privacy that is large enough for a committee of a dozen persons. These facilities are supplemented with the usual club bar service of mild beverages, a check room and what's even more potent, a caterer familiar with the nightingale activities and the tastes of the actors. Adequate telephone service, letter writing facilities, and a baseball club of its members are other developments, a marked disposition toward charities to which services that yield money for worthy purposes has been disclosed among the folks who have only too often known within their ranks. The boys are practical, hence they recognize the need of one familiar with club practices and with the his- To The Strongest In his wars he coursed the impetuous heritage of warfare from fatherland.

In that large membership are the names of men, not of the show work but interested in its people, names high in public esteem, and prominent in many professions. There are no less than eight physicians, three ministers, a number of newspaper men and a member of the state legislature as well as minor city and state employees on its membership roll, which the secretary will open to public inspection at all times.

WORLD WAR BULL — — ETIN? From the pages of diaries that we kept, or from the pages of diaries that some of our War Lords say they kept, many stories have been told; the word stories is used because it is unreasonable to believe, be he a former Kitchen Police or a Field Marshall during the World War, and now six and one-half years after the cessation of hostilities, that he would deliberately tell a — — story such as has been told concerning the activities of the 92nd Division. To the Gold Star Mothers, and to the widows and orphans, and to the many others who prayed and hoped for all of us when we were over there, although the ones who did not return cannot speak, there are among the living today those who will speak and when they tell you that each and every one there did his bit, in a creditable manner, and when they from the point of prejudice and race hurried attempt to bedtime and then to school to circumcise the 92nd Division—them to circumcise their diaries and read to you of the activities of the 55th Division—and it will disabuse your mind of the idea that the 92nd Division "was the wrest" "over There."

WHY ARREST GUN-TOTERS IF JUDGE DISCHARGES THEM. ASKS CHEF GERK "What's the use of arresting guitars! If Judge Gayer, in the court of criminal correction, dismisses the charges?" asked Chief of Police Gerk Wednesday after receiving a report from Detective Sergeant Charles Lamigain on the dismissal Monday by Judge Gayer of a charge of carrying a confined weapon against Jesse Anderson, 22 years old, NHH Hall street, h Nygrip. Lamigain reported that Anderson had been arrested the night of June 5 last at Conduit and Adelaide avenue. He was carrying in his trousers pocket a sixteenth automatic pistol loaded with nine steel-jacketed bullets. A sixteenth was against him June 9 and appealed before Judge Gayer for a preliminary hearing and was dismissed. "The only statement I heard Anderson make was that he was a hard working man and he had a sick wife." Lanikai said. I don't recall dismissing any man because he had a sick wife." Judge Gayer said when asked about the case. "Anderson said he had been cleaning his gun at his home which is near where he was arrested, and his wife asked him to go to the waterworks nearby for a bucket of water there being no water in his home. He said he put the gun in his pocket and for the water and was arrested." "The arresting officers could not say whether he was going for water or not. There is no doubt that he had the gun, but he had no criminal record and I dismissed him." Current Events Hello, Mabel. Hello, Annie.

Auntie, that I have secured a position at one of the playgrounds, and, by the way, I noticed on my way to work that there is an excavation, in progress on Jefferson and Market streets. Do you know what is going up on that spot, Auntie? Why, Mabel, I am surprised. Don't you know upon that spot is to be the new home of the Peoples Finance Corporation? The building is to be erected at a cost of $400,000. I everyone had read of it in the Argus. Since you mention it, Auntie, I read it, but didn't pay special attention to the location. Don't you think it is too big an undertaking? No, indeed. I do not. "Nothing ventured, nothing done." If our people are to hesitate always because something appears "too big," we will never get anywhere. Some one must make the move and the officers and members of this corporation decided and it is the duty of those of us, who that the time is ripe for their move, have money, to take stock and assist them in this move, and if we have no money given them words of encouragement. So many people have failed in life, my child, because they listen. 371 TINS OF CHLOROFORM ARE ORDERED DISTROVED.

Auntie, but I was thinking of the high cost of the building, and I didn't see how it could be done by them. Well, Mabel, as far as that is concerned, some of us didn't see how the corporation itself could live as many years as it has, but it is still very much alive, and let us hope that after it shall have been in operation three times as many years as it at ready has, the business will have increased to the extent that the office force will not be live, but three times live. It was with great delight that I read of an assembly room in the building, and I hope that it will be large enough to accommodate large crowds, so that those of us who plan concerts, etc., in the future will be saved the embarrassment of being told at other places that "we do not rent to colored people." The hour is late, Mabel, and I must say goodbye. Goodbye, Auntie. lysol and fired a bullet into his breast a few hours later. Scott is in jail awaiting trial.

Arkansas Authorities Probe Death Of Negro Convict Arkansas Authorities Probe Death Of Negro Convict Proston News Service FORREST CITY, Ark., June 24. After investigating the death of Nasel Johnson, Negro convict, who died about 1 o'clock Tuesday on the Mang- ness place, the St. Francis county convict farm, a coroner's jury decided that it did not know the cause of death. Witnesses testified that Johnson died after a beating had been admini- sted, and Coroner F. P. Todd announced he might continue his in- vestigations. According to testimony at the inquest, Johnson refused to work and told Officer Whitted that he would rather take a whipping than work. He was also told that he was eight bells with a strap given him him. It was said, Johnson sprang up and jumped at Whitted, who struck him over the head with the bolt of the strap, according to witnesses. At the end of the row, the man lay down and was taken to the stockade on a horse, where he died soon afterward. Dr. Alley Caldwell and Dr. P. P. Bogson, who examined the body, testified that they did not know the cause of death, and the coroner's jury returned that verdict. THREE WORKMEN DIE RICHMOND, Va., June 24—Three colored workmen, Isaac Johnson of 106 Wood St., Chelsea Hill, Sam Thomas of 1012 St. James St., and Eugene Norris of 2402 Newbern St., were asphyxiated in a gas, filled sewer under the Marshall street vapour while they were at work last week. Two white men, J. H. Newson and Jack Thomas almost suffered a similar fate when they boldly entered the death chamber and brought the men out. Johnson was coming out of the sewer when he suddenly fell from the ladder, on which he was ascending, a victim of deadly gas fumes. His companions, not realizing danger, hurried into the hole to pick him up, and were overcome before the ladder, and all the men were dead when brought to the surface by Newsom and Thomas. The latter two, who wore gas masks when they entered the sewer, lost consignness after coming out and were not revived until almost two hours afterwards. The dead men were employed by the Kelly Construction Company installing a sewer for the city. Two eighteen-year-old colored boys had lost their lives in the sewer, just about three days before the latest tragedy. Works of Imagination Not Likely To Decline To Decline There is a deep reedated opinion which has been eloquently propounded by some of the first critics of our age, that works of imagination must necessarily decline as civilization advances. It will readily be conceded that no individual minds can be expected to arise, in the most refined periods, which will surpass those which have been developed in rude and barbarous ages. But there does not appear any solid reason for believing that the works of old times occupy the whole region of poetry, or necessarily chill the fancy of these later times by their vast and unbroken shadows. Genius does not depend on times or seasons, it awaits not on external circumstances, it can neither be subdued by violence of the most savage means, nor dissipated among the refinements of the most glittering scenes of artificial life. It is "itself alone." To the heart of a young poet the world seems always new. He is in the generation by which he is surrounded, but he is not of it; he can live in the lights of the holiest times or pierce the veil of mortality and breathe in words to which the heavens of heavens is but a a vell. The genius rejoices are not the words and transitory, but the true and the eternal. The genius vet 'tell the glory of God;' the hills, the vales and the ocean do not alter, nor does the heart of man wax old. The wonders of these lars are exhaustless as they are lasting. While these remain, the circumstances of busy life—the exact mechanism of the social state—will affect the true poet but little. The seeds of genius which contain within themselves the germs of expanded beauty and sublimity, can not porish. Whereasever they are scattered, they must take root, striking far below the surface, overcropped by the multitude of transitory productions, into a deep richness of soil, and rising up above the weeds which would crush them, lift their innumerable boughs into the free and rejoicing heavens. A plastic superstition may fill a limited circle with beautiful images but one's imagination seldom, if ever declines, for Webster says: Imagination works, how she can frame Things, which are not; methinks she stands before me. she stands before me, And by the quick idea of my mind Were my skill pregnant, I could draw, her picture. —Sister Susan.

They will play the Chicago American Giants, June 27, 28, 29, 30 and July 1; the Detroit Stars, July 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; the Indianapolis A. B. C.'s, July 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. These fifteen games will prove a crucial test for our boys. Every effort will be made by the "at home" clubs to stop their sensational spurt. Word comes from Chicago that Rube Foster has been combing the country to secure strengthening material for his American Glintts and that he "has no iden of losing to the St. Louis club, no matter how strong they figure themselves to be." Detroit and Indianapolis have both been strengthened since they showed at Stars' park. St. Louis has developed strength within itself while other clubs were armoring foreign material. The playing, both offensive and defensive, has shown much improvement during the Ohio and Memphis series. Three of the regulars show a batting average in the four hundred class, and four are traveling far into the three hundred. The pitchers are rounding to form, and judging by Ross excellent mound work. Wednesday, he has arrived, and will give a good account of himself from now on. The speed of the Stars makes it dangerous for the pacemaking Monarchs. If the champions falter the least they will be overtaken, and once out in front it will be "Too Bad Jim" The encouraging part about the St. Louis bunch is the absolute harmony that exists. Everybody is playing to win, and the usual rivalry for special honors is conspicuous by its absence. If Manager Taylor can keep them going at the present pace, we are justified in believing that old St. Louis, at just has a pennant winner. NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pet. KANSAS CITY 25 8 758 ST.

Hard Fought Doubleheader Hard Fought Doubleheader The Kansas City Monarchs won the hardest fought battle of the season when they defeated the Black Barons in both ends of Sunday's doubleheader. Poindexter was on the mound for the Barons in the first game and he was master of the locals right up to the last half of the ninth when the Monarchs saged a lattening rally that netted five runs which won the game. Poindexter, after filling the bases in the last innings, was replaced by Barons who faced him forcing a in a run. Sam Crawford then took up the burden and walked the first man that faced him forcing in another run. New Joseph then singled to center scoring two more runs tipping the score. The locals put the winning run over by another single to center. Brewer started for the locals and was hit rather freely and was replaced by Dean. The second game was a pitcher's battle between Rogan and Davis who replaced Beverly after the locals scored three runs in the first inning. The second game was to be a seven inning affair by agreement. The Barons scored two runs in the second inning and tied the score in their half of the seventh. The Monarchs put across the winning run in their half of the seventh after two were out.

Saturday's Game The St. Louis Stars, Jimmie Taylor's slugging, fighting crew of hard workers, continued their good work on the road to Pennantville by trimming the Memphis Red Sox 5 to 4 in a three-nine inning victory after a opening game of the series. The big punch of the battle was the thrilling ninth inning rally in which the Stars came from behind and batted their three opposition pitchers for five hits to score four runs and snatch the old ball game out of the fire. Moore, better known as Squire, blew up in the ninth and the foxy - Dismukes sent Steel Arm Tyler and Big Bill Gatewood to the mound to stem the tide but both of the relief hurlers failed to stop the Stars.

Meyers and Hensley divided the pitching and while neither pitcher made any great showing as to base hits both were highly effective in the pinches. The Stars batting punch was again in working order and they jumped on Stamps and Dismusks for five hits to score six runs in the opening inning. Gatewood was the third pitcher of the inning and he pitched effectively until the seventh when he was touched for the other pair of runs scored by the Stars. Memphis again started off with a run in the first inning when they bunched four hits but poor base running gave them only one run. Meyers pitched out of a tight hole when he fanned Russ for the third out, the bases being loaded at the time. The Stars batted around in the first. Bell walked but out stealing. Wells walked.

Wednesday's Game The Stars made a clean sweep of the series on Wednesday after Tues. and Friday of the schedule by trimming the Mamphis Red Sox 10 to 0. Russ was the shut out pitcher and field, the opposition to five singles and retired the visitors in order in five of the nine innings. The Stars batted Arm Tyler for thirteen hits, including two triples and four doubles and scored in every inning but the second and fifth. Ross was so effective that only one Red Sox player reached third base and but two got as far as second in the nine innings. His control was perfect and he failed to issue a single pass. Redus enjoyed another perfect day at bat when he batted out a triple, a double and two singles in four times at bat. This marked his second day with a perfect batting score as he made three hits in as many trips on Monday. The game was played in mud two inches deep and was marked by ground that it was possible to play a game after an all night rain and several showers after noon, with the aid of one shower, he transformed a sea of mud into a playing field. The Stars started off with two runs in the first when Bell beat out an infield hit and reached second on Murray's walk. Creecey also walked and Redus singled to score Bell and Murray. Murray stole a run in the third when he stole second and continued all the way around when Russ threw to center field. Murray had singled to center to get to first. Redus's second hit, a triple, and an infield out coupled with Reese's perfect squeeze bunt, gave the Stars their fourth run this in the fourth inning. A pair of hits by Redus and Wilson gave the Stars the second and third more were added in the seventh when Bell tripled and scored on Wells' single and the latter counted on Creecey's two baggers.

The Union Electric is one of the strongest teams of the league. The pitching of Dean Terry and Millerden was easily the feature of the day. Dean Terry also had a field day at betting, getting 44 out of 6. The game Sunday ended the season for the first half. The second half will open on Sunday, and the Union Electrics will be a strong bolder for the season. In the other game played at Forest Park, the Broomers easily defeated the Scullins.

NEW RIVAL FOR FLOWERS Associated Xegro Press NEW YORK, N. Y. June 24 — "Sunny Jim" Williams, of San Francisco, has entered the eastern field of his competition in theETHER—pushing game. If the Coast is compiled by this fellow, the Coast is a criterion to follow, he should soon become equally as popular in pungitic ranks in the "Fighting Deacon" Tiger Flowers. Williams is a legitimate (cal) middleweight and a good one. Out in the Golden West where "Sunny Jim" has done most of his fighting combatting, he is regarded by experts as the most spectacular and pleasing performer in the game. Sport scribes have frequently sing the praises of Williams and have predicted that he would give the sensational Tiger Flowers of Georgia, a fight that would always be remembered. It is not likely that these two will meet any time soon, due to both being now under the same management. Walk Miller, who has so successfully directed the affairs of the famous "Tiger," and many other colored fighters of note, signed "Sunny Jim" to a five years contract immediately on his arrival in the Big City. Miller says he feels, confident that in Flowers and Williams, he has the two best middleweights in the world today. It is possible one of Walk's friends on the Coast tipped him off as to the ability of Williams, and the astute little manager had a nod in signing "Sunny Jim" and holding him under "mute" direction with Flowers. Be that as it may, this fellow Williams will bear watch in the future. He is sure to give all of the present day middle and light-weightts tough argument for leading honors. "Sunny Jim" has fought in feature attractions at the Dreamland Club, Dogie's Vernon Club, Madison Square Gardens at Los Angeles, and at Portland, Ohio. His clipping bok shows many glaring accounts of sensational matches against the leaders in that section. He was a great favorite with the fans and drew capacity houses in his every start. Billy Conley, Battling Ortega Steve Dalton, Ray Pelkey, Frankis Murphy, Bert Collin and many others have dropped decisions to Williams. He knocked out the sensational Gor- don McKenna. He was only known, was the only time this fighter had ever been knocked out. match, and should immediately become a prime favorite with the cash customers in this territory, where the fans always follow a fighter who fights. Williams makes his eastern debut around the first of July. In The Field Of Athletics Colored Jockey Rides Winner of Belmont Park Handicap Chic Suggs Scores a Victory DeHart Hubbard Enters Indianapolis Meet Things in Readiness for the Greatest National, Meet of the American Tennis Association. One of the few remaining outstanding colored Jockeys, George Hudgins, rode a young colt to victory in record time in the main race at the Harlem Handicap, held at Belmont Park recently. Billy Warren, the colt, won over the favorite in the mile in the season's record time of 1:36.4.6 seconds. Hudgins weighed 96 pounds. Chic Suggs, the uncrowned battam and featherweight champion, who won 52 consecutive battles before he lost one on a foul, resumed his whining habits at Atlantic City, N. J. last week when he knocked out Patty Wallace (white) of Philadelphia in the fifth round of a scheduled 12 round match. De Hart Hubbard, World's record holder in the broad jump, has agreed to appear in a meet at Indianapolis, July 29 during the session of the Indiana State Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias. Hubbard's acceptance was sanctioned by the Amateur Athletic Union of which he is now a member. The official circulations for the ninth national championships of the American Tennis Association were circulated last week. The championships this year will be held at Bordentown, N. J. August 24 to 29, on the grounds of The Manual Training and Industrial School. It is expected that a perfection of playing conditions will be obtained this year such as has never yet happened at a championship of the A. T. A. Manual Trimming School has a fifty-four campus situated on a bluff overlooking the Delaware River. Beautiful lawns and shade trees provide a natural setting of great charm. The equipment includes six perfectly drained and surfaced clay courts ideally situated as to lighting conditions with ample playing space on all sides. The building is located on the school grounds within one minute's walk of the court. Garage parking space and gas and oil station are all located right on the campus. Play will begin Monday, August 24 at 10 a.m. and on the following days, on schedules arranged by the committee. The players are compelled to report at the scheduled time. The national championships are open to the national association associations having membership in the American Tennis Association. The New Jersey Tennis Association under whose auspices this year's championship will be staged has planned a number of entertainments for the players and visitors. On Monday evening, August 24, a reception for visiting ladies will be held at the home of Prof. W. H. Valentine, principal of the school. Tuesday evening a card party and dance will be held in the Social Hall of the Boys' Dormitory. Wednesday evening a moonlight ride down the historic old Delaware is planned while on Thursday evening a lawn party and dance will be held in the gymnasium and on the campus. Friday evening will occur the official reception to the American Lawn Tennis Association in Roseland Hall, Trenton. Saturday afternoon the prizes will be awarded and in the evening a fare well dinner will be held in the dining room of the industrial school. OFFICER ON $5,000 BOND AWAITS ACTION OF COURT LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 24.—Patrolman Emmett Jones, white, who shot and killed Christopher Malcolm, colored city inspector, May 10 last, was placed under a $5000 bond last week to await the action of the Superior court. Attorney Denison and Richardson led the prosecution of the officer. They brought forth evidence in Judge Beard's court to show that Malcolm was careless in performing his duty and that Malcolm could have been arrested without the necessity of shooting. The decision of the court in Jones' case is being anxiously awaited by the colored people of Los Angeles. Love at first sight is as apt to be justified as any other kind. Numbers of people are born readers of character. SATURDAY, JULY 4 East. St. Louis Giants Vs. St. Louis Athletics SUNDAY MON, JULY 5-8 Little Rock, Ark., Cubs Vs.

He said in his letter: "what was not good enough for the white schools was not good enough to be used by the Negro schools. Within the last year Supt. Lee grant-ed certificate privileges to the Geo. R. Smith College of Sedalia, Mo. This is the first time that this privilege has been extended to this college. Also the academy of Lincoln University has been accredited as a first-class academy for the first time. A plan is being fostered to establish a high school for the Negro children in St. Louis County. If this is done, there will be nine accredited high schools for the colored group in the State of Missouri. In commenting on the summer schools for the colored teachers, Lee said that they would give high school credits to the colored teachers and will enable them to make approved grades and thereby enable them to render a more valuable service in the school room, and receive better salaries for it. There is no way that salaries can be raised save as they come about through the teachers being more valuable. SPORT-O-GRAPHS BY ASHBY CARTER KING HUSBARD, THE PERSISTENT Associated Negro Press "Hullard Sets World's Broad Jump Record" was the high-tech headline that emblazoned the sport pages of all of last Sunday's newspapers, out of the article description of the most brilliant and the most blood-tingled with pride, and you shared with Michigan's greatest athlete his big triumph. Had you been fortunate enough to have witnessed the performance, you would probably be in a position to tell your grandchildren that you in your younger days, had seen a marry set that will stand for generations to come. For three years, the bronzed marvel had tried to break the record. He had participated in meet after meet. He had trained reliably, he had trained in the George town, set a new mark at the Olympics. He did quit one to failer. He kept saying "I can do it. I will do it." Competing in his last intercollegiate meet, jumping his first jump, his first chance, he arose to the heights of one supreme, one glorious effort. His jaw set, his nerves afire, his muscles taut, his heart consistent, his mind made up, leaped and leaped into unmiring fame. And we gain another lesson. We see the results of persistence, consistent persistence. We how to King Dedard Hullard. The Persistent One. The Negro First; Texas. Second The Negro First; Texas, Second You have read, of the performance of young Wesley Foster, Negro high school lad of Wenatchee, Washington. You will recall that the youth traveled the century 100-yard dash in world's record time at the National Interscholastic Meet held recently at the University of Chicago. Perhaps, one incident escaped your notice. Do you remember the name of the boy who finished second? Anyway, the name doesn't matter but you might be interested in the name of the state the boy represented. Foster was first; Texas, or to be more precise, a boy from Texas was second. Foster hails from a state where a Negro is almost an object of curiosity, due of course, to the scarcity of the species. On the other hand the Lone Star boy comes from a commonwealth where the Afro American bounds in great numbers. The moral of this story is that if the great State of Texas had sent a representative of Texas, regardless of race, and not a representative from another state, they would have been different. The final reading then, could have been: Texas first; Washington, 2nd, instead of the Negro 1st; Texas, 2nd. EFFICIENCY OF AFRICAN GOLD MINER PRAISED EFFICIENCY OF AFRICAN GOLD MINER PRAISED Columbian Press Bureau JOHANNESBURG, Africa, June 20. —Noting marked progress in the gold mining industry of the Transayal, and advocating a blue month supply contract with the Transvaal mining company S. A. Waller, K. R. E., President of the Transayal Chamber of Mines, in making his recent annual address, paid tribute to the British South African natives employed in the gold mines, whose "improved efficiency" has been more than ordinary. The President's address also showed that the health of the mine natives has improved steadily, the death rate for last year being 2.99 against 11.47 for the previous year. Sir Waller's estimate of the gold miners is regarded as one of the reasons why the Prince of Wales is now visiting the gold fields, now being at Komatiport on the Transvaal border.

MEMBER MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representatives W. B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. A DISGRACE TO THE NEGRO MINISTRY We, of course, do not blame the Klan members for feeding a gullible Negro minister with their insidious propaganda. In fact, we can imagine them laughing up their sleeves as they left the church, and communing among themselves saying "What tools they were," but, for the life of us, we cannot understand how a Negro minister, whether in New Jersey or in Missouri, could honestly believe for one moment that the Ku Klux Klan is friendly to colored people. We cannot but believe that any time we hear of a Negro minister contoning, apologizing, or seeking to justify the existence of the Klan, the said minister is, either, too ignorant to occupy a sacred rostrum, or is too dishonest to be out of the permittiarw. In the course of human events, it is possible to find here and there, once in a while and far between, a Negro preacher who is so ignorant that he really doesn't know anything about what the responsibility of leadership means, neither does he know anything about the high calling of the ministry; but any Negro minister of ordinary intelligence who gets up in public and espouses the cause of the Ku Klux Klan with its bloody record, has, we do not hesitate to say, surely sold his soul for a pot of gold. We make this statement advisedly because "Klanology" believes that a little filth here exposed to the sight, or near sight, of the average Negro preacher, will make him sell his soul. It is presumed, however, that ere now, the Klan has learned better. We are willing to take up the challenge and say there are thousands who have never bowed their knees to Baal. There are to be "sure, God fearing, upstanding, stalwart men whom the love of money cannot buy, but the weak, ignorant, palm-itching preacher may be expected to do anything, the only bad feature about his act is the fact that he wears the frock of a Christian leader to hide his sins. Let it be known far and near; let it be proclaimed on the housetops, in the schools and in the churches, especially to the Negro youth, that the Ku Klux Klan is their enemy, that it would rob them of their citizenship and reduce them to a worse condition than chattel slavery, and that any preacher, teacher or leader who advises to the contrary, is either dishonest or too-norant to be listened to. Therefore, we conclude that the Rev. Andrew Johnson who was referred to by the N. A. A. C. P., as a "disgrace to the ministry" is not only a disgrace to the ministry, but a disgrace to the Negro race. In fact, we believe him to be an "agent of the devil, a wolf dressed in sheep clothings." SURELY THE PEOPLE HAVE SOME RIGHTS Despite the fact that Governor Baker has been quoted as saying "petitions will do no good," we think that the right to petition the governor of this state is not abridged by any such statement even though coming from the governor, himself. Any matter which is in the hands of the governor and is of sufficient public concern, those interested, surely, are within their rights to petition and ask the governor to extend mercy as long as it is within his power to give. We would suggest, therefore, that all who are interested in the case of James Crump, who is under death sentence, petition the governor stating the facts as best they know, and leave the matter entirely up to his honor to decide. The writer made a visit, not long since, to the State Penitentiary at Jefferson City and noted that nearly forty per cent of the inmates of that institution are colored. Knowing that the colored population of the state is only about sixteen per cent, one can readily see that there must be a gross miscarriage of justice in a large number of cases. No one knows this better, perhaps, than Governor Baker. He knows something about the injustices that the colored people must of necessity suffer because of race prejudice which plays no small part in their cases before the courts in most instances. Knowledge of this condition ought to touch the hearts of men who hold high and honored positions. We believe that a striking case of injustice, based upon race prejudice, is found in the Crump case. At the time he was convicted, the mob spirit was running high. A rope with which to hang the victim, if he did not get the death sentence, was concealed in the hall of the courthouse. The judge is said to have been told of this fact. The jury was aware of this condition. Justice was miscarried. The governor can, at least, hear the politions of those who seek to save a life under these circumstances. When one hears the different stories and the utter disregard for truth on the part of some of the public officers down about the City Hall, we think it would be a splendid idea to form an "Ananias Club." It may be that such a club might have a tenliency to cause some of the public officials to guard their words just a little closer. We are informed that one Henry T. Burke is slated to succeed Jas. H. Arnold as Clerk in Police Court.—Lord help. Hon. Chas. A. Lee, State Supt. of Education, though a young man, looks like he has the making of a great and useful man to his state. We are proud of the reputation that Mr. Lee is making as an educator. The mere fact that he is a Democrat cuts no ice. It all depends on the man. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1925 MUSIC, ART, DRAMA AND LITERATURE By RICHARD JACKSON On The Negroes' Songs One of the most interesting books that has been published recently, so far as the Negro is concerned, is a volume by Professor Howard Odum Kenan of the sociology department and the school of public welfare of the University of North Carolina, and Guy B. Johnson of the Institute for Research in Social Science of the same school under the title, "The Negro and His Song." "The Negro and His Song" presents a comprehensive study more or less, of the Negro's music in relation to his traits, customs and habits, thereby giving an insight into the birth of his metodies. Strange though, however, the Negro is not associated with any of the higher classical music such as is found among the latest compositions of Harry's T. Burleigh and Nathaniel Dett, but chiefly with jazz music—in principal blues—which is supposed a classification of the so-called "socal song" of the Negro. Although spirituals are dealt with to a marked extent in the works, they are not treated in the light of representative American music, or folk music. The thing of principal concern to the authors in the spirituals seems to be the expressions and meanings of its verse. Through these mediums an attempt is made to analyze the character of the American Negro. Thus instead of treating the compositions for their underlying artistic and creative qualities, for their culturalities and oddities, and made a chart for the study of the personalities of their originators. The authors go so far with these tendencies as to make classifications according to the suggestions given by the words of the songs. The book is really an attempt at a sociological study of the Negro thrush his song, rather than an earnest effort to analyze the true musical value of his compositions. Still it is worthwhile to use unusual ideas and conception that it presents is to the relations of the Negro's music to his life. A Work of Oriental Art A truly unique piece of oriental work is Persia's wonderful "Coronation" rug. It embraces a pictorial record of Persia's rulers from times attituding the Christian era to the time of the World War. Work upon the rug was started in 1906 and went on to be completed. It was to glorify the treasured of the sultan Ahmed Mirza, on the occasion of his expected ascension to the throne of Persia, but was diverted mysteriously to New York. Moving like the enchanted carpet, it was spirited 6,000 miles to that modern Rugdad. The rug is a multicolored one, is 15 feet long by 11 feet wide, and was specially woven during the period of 17 years, being the handwork of the 27 most famous rug makers then living in Persia. With remarkable fidelity to features and absolute verity to costumes of the time, the individual depleted, this rug represents a portrait of 160 of Persia's great king or shahs, and is otherwise highly decorated. There are 1,000 knots to each square inch or about 25,300,000 knots. Then warp threads to produce the wool nap that forms the velvety body and creates the portrait and decorative features. The Monarch Band, one of the paramount Negro musical organizations of the country, has again been selected by Chamberlain Berzelheimer, in charge of New York park concerts, to give band concerts in the parks during July and August. In 1924 the Monarch Band made its first appearance in public park concerts. It was the first time a colored band had ever had such a palbridge in Manhattan. This year Mr. Simpson and his men will invade Central Park made musically, famous by the recent Goldman band concerts that were discontinued by some misunderstanding between their donors, the Guggenheims, and the City Administration. The remarkable growth and "skill of this musical outfit are decidedly interesting. It first came into prominence during the World War, and was known them as the Hell Fighters Band, being connected with the Mid-Fifth Infantry. After returning from France, Lieut. Simpson, who was the leader of the Home Guard Fifthteenth, became the leader of the reorganized Fifteenth, but latter resigned his office. With him went most of his men, and organized into the MiTee Monarch Band, to serve as musical compliment to Monarch Lodge No. 45, I. B. P. O. E. of W. Wt this order's convention in Boston four years ago, the band was awarded first prize in a big contest. At Chicago and Pittsburgh it won the same honors in competition with bands from all over the country. When the Elks call their convention in August at Montreal, Va., it is prefaced that Lieut. Simpson and his aggregation will again take first J. A. Rogers, author of "From Superman to Man," and other boks, recently sailed for Europe on board the S. S. George Washington. He is going, he says, principally to get local color in *Cornwall, England,* for a novel at which he has been at work for some time as well as to try to some of his books which have been befouled by publishers here because of their frantic dealing with the race question, accepted by the ropean publishers. While abroad he will also do work of a sociological nature in connection with his studies. Rogers has been assured of letters of introduction to several leading English and French men, as Ramsay Macdonald, late English premier; Sir Harry Johnston, famous African explorer; Lord Olivier, lately secretary for India, and Jean Loquet, in England he will visit the British Museum, gathering rare and stray bits of New York, and Wembley Exhibition, with its interesting African exhibits; the great cotton milla of Lancaster; the steel works at Birmingham; Glasgow with its famous shipbuilding works, noting in all these places the conditions of living mainly as compared with that of the Negro in the United States. He also contemplates visiting Ireland, Holland, Germany, Belgium, France, and perhaps Egypt, where he will make similar observations. Two new books on the so-called racial problem have made their appearance. "The Basis of Radical Adjustment" by Dr. Thomas J. Wootch (the author of Georgia, sets forth his opinion of how the different races of mankind are to dwell together in peace and harmony; while "The Menace of Color" by Dr. J. W. Gregory (white) deals with the same topic in a very detailed way, and attempts to prove that the color classification is of more value in "political guidance than that based on the skull or hair." The first named book is published by Glinn and Company of New York; while Dr. Gregory selected the J. B. Lippincott Company of Philadelphia as his salesman-in-chief. IS THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL CONSTITUTIONAL? Much has been said through the press, from the platform, and in the halls of Congress, as to the constitutionality of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. As a rule, they who say the Bill is not constitutional, are actuated more by the fact that they don't want to see the Bill pass, than they are as to its constitutionality. If the Bill is not constitutional, it is for the reason that if conflicts with what is known as State rights. That brings us to the question as to what State rights are. Each state has the power and authority to make its own laws, as long as those laws do not conflict with any existing law of the United States, or some provisions of the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution, of the United States is a 'grant of power, whereas, the constitution of an individual state is a limitation upon power. Under the Constitution of the United States all citizens are guaranteed the equal protection of the law, and Congress may under its implied power, make any law that is necessary to enforce that provision of the Constitution. It is but a jumble of words to say that a citizen is guaranteed equal protection of the law, and on the other hand say that it is up to the different states to be proactive in enforcing Congress-powerless. It is not-unconstitutional for Congress to pass an act punishing people who violate the Volstead Act, and the State may also punish violators of that act. Of course when one court takes jurisdiction the other loses its right in that particular case. In my judgment, Congress may legally pass an act punishing a State by fine, whose governor negligently allows a mob to take the law into their hands, a county, whose sheriff allows a mob to take his prisoner, and a city, whose mayor and police officer take the city in charge, and each individual of the mob by fine and imprisonment and death. The individual state may make similar laws with jurisdiction of the State Court concurrent with the Federal Courts. Section S. Article I of the Constitution of the United States enumerates the various powers of Congress. Among the powers enumerated is the following: "To provide for, calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union suppress any unlawful encounters or invasions." If Congress has this specific power, it also has the implied power to make any law that is necessary to uphold this specific grant of power. If it takes a Federal law to suppress mob violence effectively, so that each citizen may have the equal protection of the law, then Congress may proceed to pass such law and be within its Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States has the final and last say as to what acts of Congress are constitutional. There is no specific grant of power to Congress by the Constitution of the United States to organize and charter a Bank. But the Constitution does give Congress the right to borrow money on credit of the United States. Is it not implied that Congress may take whatever steps that are necessary to protect that credit, even though it be establishing banks? Chief Justice John Marshall in the Majors Bank case, McCullough vs. MacArthur, said the National Government is Supreme within its sphere of action." This would seem to result necessarily from its nature. For, "it is the government of all; its powers are delegated by all; it represents all, and acts for all." If it be true that the laws of the United States and the Constitution upon which these laws are founded, constitute the Supreme Law of the land, it is idle to say that the great purpose of the Constitution could be defeated by the action of State or national authorities. Would not Congress, by appropriate laws, be warranted under the Constitution to reach out into the most secluded portion of the Union and enforce equal protection of the law to all citizens. To say that it cannot is simply to say that one of the units may effectively clog the whole of the great Union through so-called State rights. No such concession was made, as such contemplated by its makers and surely was not so construed by John Marshall in McCullough vs. Maryland. If the thing sought to be accomplished is legitimate and is within the scope of the Constitution, then all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adopted to the accomplishing of that thing, which are not prohibited, but consistent with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional. John Marshall's Opinion, McCuillech vs. Maryland Now, is it legitimate to protect the people against mob violence? Would it not take the passage of laws to reach the violators? Does not the Constitution guarantee to every citizen the equal protection of the law? If these questions may be correctly answered in the affirmative then any action Congress may take along this line is constitutional. The Constitution does not specifically provide that he who steals letters from the mail may be punished in certain wavs. It only provides for the establishing of mail routes and post offices, etc. The implied power is that under the Constitution, Congress may pass laws for the punishment of persons who steal from the mails. In my opinion, any law passed by the United States Congress to the end that the people be protected from mob violence, equally in all the states, territories and possessions of the United States, would be constitutional. PETER H. CLARK The death of the venerable Peter H. Clark last Sunday was the passing of the last (and one of the mightiest) of the colored American giants that were gestated in the last three quarters of the nineteenth century—and the western hemisphere can boast no better, or equal, breed. Langton was cultured with the culture of ripe scholarship; Douglass was titan with native mental power. Peter H. Clark was both. This marvelous man stored his mind from myriad and mysterious sources and mentally digested his megaunless information to wisdom. He was, above them all, a philosopher. I must recite one other characteristic of his to complete this scant index of the makeup of "The noblest Roman of them all." I have long believed that one feature of Mr. Clark was all that caused stern Frederick Douglass to select him from out of all men to love, and "Peter H. Clark" was the only mention that I know of that softened the face and tones and words of Mr. Douglass to unmistakable affection. No more intrepid warrior than Peter H. Clark ever faced a foe. He never begged for justice; he demanded it. He scorned compromise as shame in which he would not share. Fighting through years for the rights of timorous millions, he thrilled with all the courage that his clients lacked; his sense of outrage filled his being with fire and left no room for fear; and fearless. Douglass loved him because the titon must love his mate. Peter H. Clark is dead: He was of small stature, but, gone, he leaves a space so vast no score of leaders of today can fill it. Every inch a man through fear a century of life on earth he faces the Maker of his manhood with that manhood unfurnished by the world. I quote, "In another age he might have sat among the older of the land in purple-bordered toga; in another country mothers might have sung him in the cradles." Are we to add: Of another race his memory would be cherished green as instruction that the path he trod is the sole way to the fullness of freedom that is the sole insurance to the fullness of life. CRIPPLED COLORED LAD WINS COLLEGE DEGREE Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill., June 24—Although handicapped for years by infantile paralysis and compelled to support three orphaned sisters in whatever way he could, Harrison Herbert Ferrell, Jr., 5051 Grove Avenue, Chicago, received from Northwestern University on commencement day, June 15, a degree of Master of Arts. Ferrell, Jr., is a colored lad who by sheer talent has excelled in his talented musician and gave violin lessons to private pupils to help earn his way through the University. Living quite a distance from Evanston, the University town, he had to travel miles each day to attend. A companion accompanied him to assist him up and down stairs. A year ago he won his bachelor of science degree and stood out as one of the best pupils in the class of '24. When Ferrill, Jr. first went to Northwestern in 1918 he was in excellent health. Then he was stricken with infantile paralysis and was extremelyyll for two years. His native state of Michigan him through the crisis, enabling him to return to his studies in 1921.

Politics At The Nation's Capitol BY ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS Politics At The Nation's Capitol BY ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS BY THE JUDGE Washington's Jim Crow Bathing Beach "When an appropriation for this purpose was under consideration some two or three years ago it was maintained on the floor of the Senate by those who were resisting the appropriation that it was the purpose to establish a bathing beach on the west side of the Tidal Basin, and it was opposed for that reason. The most coleum kind of assurances were given in the floor of the Senate that nothing of the kind was contemplated at all, and relying upon these assurances I voted in favor of the appropriation is. I dare say, others did. Now, I am astounded to learn that the Tidal Basin is to be desecrated by the establishment in the most conspicuous place about the entire Basin of a bathing beach for the colored population of the city of Washington. When the bathing beach for the white people of the District was established within the Basin it was regarded as an unwarrantable intrusion. In addition, I have no doubt that the health of the city is imperiled by devoting that comparatively still, if not stagnant water to bathing purposes, even for the white population, not to speak of the colored population that are now going to use it." After Senator Walsh finished showing up Sherrill and the other Negro hating segregationists who for years have been trying to segregate the colored people in Washington by one method and another, the proposition was voted down and once more the Jim Crow beach was killed. Today it has been killed again by President Coolidge emphatically stating to Sherrill and the other persons in league with him that here is no way to establish this Jim Crow racial hating bathing beach without the sanction of Congress. If Theodore Roosevelt was President of the United States, then Sherrill would have been thrown out of public office in less than twenty-four hours, especially after it had been proven that he was attempting not only to coerce Congress but actually to deceive the President of the United States by intimating that the colored people themselves desired to be Jim-Crowed in Washington City if no where else. The Republican Senators who are anxious to win in the approaching Senatorial confests had better make a drive to get rid of this man Sherrill, and the Democrats north who are making trades for the Negro vote in the pivotal states would do well, also, to have Sherrill eliminated before the next voting time comes around. DISMISSAL OF HOWARD U. PROFESSORS CONFIRMED KELLY MILLER REMAINS Professors Locke, Brown, Thornton and Lochard Are Dropped. Prof. Cook Retained Until 1926 WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24.—The dismissal of four members of the Howard University faculty staff, in the changes that the school is now undergoing. The men notified of their discharge were Prof. Metz Tullus Paul Lochard, B es L. B es D, assistor in French. Prof. Alonzo H Brown, A B, A. M, Prof. of Mathematics; Prof. Alaine Leroy Locke, A B, Litt, B, Ph. D, Prof. of Philosophy; Prof. Orlando C. Thornton, S. B, instructor in finance. Under the latest plans, Dean Kelly Miller will be retained as Dean of the department of sociology instead of being placed in special field work, and Dean George W. Cook will continue to hold his office until June 30, 1926. The executive committee, in issuing a statement of its action, made it plain that the recent changes were a warning to other members of the faculty that unless they think less of academic freedom and more of the administration program, they would be treated in a like manner. The Aumunt Association of Howard University, which has been greatly wrought up over the executive committee's action, is seeking to cause a congressional investigation of the circumstances involving the changes made. INTERNATIONAL ORDER OF TWELVE ANNUAL SERMON PART TWO Knights And Daughters Of Tabor Have Gala Day In St. Louis. Two Churches Crowded To Overflow. Prominent Citizens Take Part On Program The thirty-eighth anniversary sermon of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor was held Sunday at Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion and First Baptist churches, Rev. J. M. Johnson and Rev. J. K. Parker delivering the sermons respectively. Both churches were filled to overflow, there being present 2,000 members representing seven Temples, five Royal Houses, twenty-seven Tabernacles, sixteen Tents, and nine Uniform Ranks. Three Past Past High Priestesses were present in the persons of Daughters Sarah W. Rose, Bertha E. Rhodes and Corinne Bodine-Thomas. The Taborian Band led the procession. An interesting unrecorded number was added to the program when "Taborian, Harmon Six" appeared on the scene. Several numbers were rendered. These young men acquitted themselves with much credit to both themselves and all concerned. The Grand Officers who were present at the sermon were Sir Jas. A. Rainey, District Deputy and G. C.

THE KIND OF NEGRO THAT SOUTHERN WHITES ADMIRE Preston News Service PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 24—The obstreperous Negro is the one who insists on thinking for himself and protesting against whatever seems to be an infiltration on "his rights as an American citizen, according to unexpressed views of southern whites. Adah Roussan Backburn writing in the Memphis Commercial Appeal on "The Blue Mud Bank of the Mississippi-Became Heart of Great Country," says in part: "No story of Mississippi County would be fair or complete without some recognition of the large part played by the Negro citizen. From the first there was a considerable Negro population, which rendered inable service clearing land, felling timber and cultivating the soil. For the most part they worked nobly for their schools and churches and better social conditions for their children. I know of several washerwomen who from their own earnings gave their children college educations. The 'Black Hawk War' of 1812 was instigated by regenade whites, and in nearly every instance, when trouble broke out between the races, it was traceable to a white man's whiskey dive. Today the Negroes have their separate home economic and demonstration leaders, and educationally and financially are breast of their race in the most favored sections. In times of distress, as in the great flood years of 1812 and 1823, when the very life of the county depended on holding the levees, they were found faithful and reliable. In the world war many companies of soldiers answered the call to service and made highly honorable records." Mr. Blackburn and General Bullard do not agree on the value of the Negro as a soldier, not even as a citizen. It is 'feat that Bullard likes this benighted brother, of Chattanooga. Tenn, who according to E. F. Ames, who has charge of the distribution of memorial half dollars, an 80-year old Negro, Uncle Doc Crow, formerly a slave, timely entered Ames' office and faltering requested permission to buy coins "in honor of Marse Hobert E. Lee." The old man, Ames said, purchased 29 coins, one for himself, one for his wife and one for each of his 27 children and grandchildren. Uncle Noe Crow is not an obstreperous Negro. He is the type much beloved in the southland. LET THE ARGUS BE YOUR SHOPPING GUIDE. IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR MERCHANT'S ADVERTISEMENT IN THE ARGUS, ASK HIM THE REASON.

The long-drawn out subject of bathing beaches for white and bathing beaches for colored in this city reached a high point here this week when the people behind the separate beach proposal move made a frenzied effort to get the idea going in spite of the impelled wishes of the last congress. Only the adamant stand of Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois, chairman of the house appropriation committee, prevented the possible establishment of the segregated bathing pools in the Potomac tidal basin. President Coolidge expressed himself as being against the plan because he felt that it would be illegal. The moving spirit behind the effort to maintain separate bathing facilities for white and colored in the national capital has been Col. C. C. Sherrell of North Carolina, who is in The St. Louis Argus ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,JUNE 26.1925 "If Mr. President, it is lawful to re-establish one section of the Tidal Basin for bathing purposes, it is equally lawful to reestablish the other section. "As American citizens who have unfailingly supported this Government in all its wars, willingly sacrificing health and life that liberty might prevail, we know appeal to you in time of peace to safeguard our civil interests and not put the Government stamp of approval on the attempt of those who, because of prejudice, would class us as parish people, and place us on an unhesirable and unlawful accessible location called Buzzard's Point on the Potomac River.

The agitation began some two years ago and reached the point where congress took a hand with an unfavorable vote. It was proposed to establish a white beach at a point convenient to the city and a colored beach at Buzzard's point, far from the town and in a section where the basin is polluted. It was on the score of the pollution of the basin that the colored citizens fought the measure. In a last minute effort to provide bathing, facilities for white citizens this summer, the District Federation had telegrams dispatched to the authoritative members of Congress asking what they thought could be done about the matter. While most of the messages were unanswered, the one from Mr. Madden, in whose hands the most influence lies, asserted that he would not countenance any violation of the law which closed them. It is the view of the White House that Congress does not want any bathing in the Tidal Basin, and, until it says otherwise, nothing can be doff. During the consideration of the matter of bathing beaches, which was presented to the White House by the Citizens' Advisory Council, the "President discovered, it is said, that the law would seem to raise the question of the authority of any one to allow bathing in the basin. The White House view is thought to be in sympathy with the claims made in the following letter from W. D. Nixon, president, and H. E. Barnett, secretary, of the Civic Center-Affiliated Associations: "The Civic Center of Affiliated Associations of the District of Colum bia, composed of 23 organizations, is deeply concerned about the proposed action to defend the intent of Congress in regard to both white and colored citizens using the Tidal Basin for bathing purposes. "Congress intended either the establishment of both beaches on the Tidal Basin or the complete elimination of all bathing in the Basin. "Congress has specified that both beaches be demolished. With apparent eagerness and seemingly undue haste, Col. Shergril removed one, but for some reason failed to remove the other. Another pasttime is to pretend you are poorer than you are, and try to live down to it. Bloody Days The following is a detailed description of the experiences on the front of Capt. Daniel Smith, the officer in the 368th Infantry who was court-martialled for alleged cowardice and who was made the butt of ridicule in the recently published "Memoirs" of General Robert Lee Bullard. The Associated Negro Press feels that it is rendering a distinct service to its members by producing this exclusive story from the man in question and that it will give the editors the very thing they need to effectively refute Bullard's story. Thank God, Smith isn't dead. The story will be continued next week. BY DANIEL SMITH Associated Negro Press After, reading 13 pieces of General Robert Lee Bullard's article which appeared in the Chicago Tribune, June 9, it came to my mind that the facts in the case of the Unit to which he reckons should be make known As I happen to be one of the Officers who were court-martialled, I feel it my duty to put before the people the real facts and let them judge for themselves as to whether the General's statement is true or his memory bad or his information received from those who were prone to make the Ninety-Second Division a failure. From my long military service of over twenty years under the most trying conditions in Mexico and the Philippines, I am of the opinion that the PETER SALEM CELEBRATION HELD IN MASS. Bravery Of Colored Heroes Who Fought In Battle Of Bunker Hill Observed On 150th Anniversary BOSTON, Mass., June 24.—The city was the scene of very impressive ceremonies last week commemorating the heroes' of American patriots, who fought at Bunker Hill in 1775 for the freedom and liberty of a young country which has since grown to be one of the leading world powers. Thousands of Bostonians, both black and white, participated in the observance of the 150th anniversary of the first pitched battle in which their ancestors shed blood for the independence of the United States of America. Colored organizations were scattered here and there in the huge parade which visited Bunker Hill for the memorial exercises. The colored citizens' celebration was hot ended with this affair, however, for, in the evening they came together to pay another homage to their own sons, who had fought for old glory in '75. It was known as the Peter Salem celebration and was held at the Charles Street Church under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League. The event was significant to over 12,000,000 colored Americans for it recalled another incident of their loyalty and patriotism in the building of their country. Martyrs for Liberty The story of the American Negroes' part in the battle of Bunker Hill, though seldom told and scarcely known, is one of the grandest of American history. On the night of June 16, 1775, when the patriots were throwing up fortifications at Breed's Hill, a place in Charleston, Mass., a peninsula separated from Boston by a narrow stream of water, the Charles River, Peter Salem, a colored American, was working desperately. Some of the men were busy making a rail and hay breastwork, others were working upon a redoubt. Peter Salem was at the redoubt. They worked all night on the 16th and were still engaged upon the defence on the morning of the 17th when the British were surprised by the sight of their work, immediately shot and shell fell amid them, but still they worked on, only one man being struck and killed, Col. Prescott knew that there were not enough men at the fortifications to keep back the British when the battle came on and urged Gen. Ward to send more men. At first he refused but finally sent 500 men, not one-half enough. Gen. Warren came upon the scene and took his place as volunteer along with men exposed to open fire. Over in Boston the non-combatants watched the scene from the house-tops. They see the first assault on the rail and hay breast works and the carthern redoubt. They see the British in their fine uniform and red coats fall in platoons. They hear the strains of Yankee Doodle. It is the Colored tiger Fler Wiley, playing with all his might. They hear the drums beat the din of the British firing and the boom of cannon from the big warship, the Glascow, that lies in the stream. Then they see the British rally and make a second assault and again see them fall back. Shouts and gestures suddenly came from the British, and commands are given and they make a third rush with confidence upon the Patriots. The people from the houseets see what the British see—that the Ammunition of the Americans is gixing out, if it has not already given out. Their hearts quail and they hold their breath and look with bulging eyes. What do they see. A pompous British officer mounts a parapet, calls on the partiots to surrender, shouts to his soldiers: "The day is ours." At the same moment they see an American soldier at the redoubt spring forward, level his gun and fire, and they see the proud British officer fall into the arms outstretched to receive him. It is Major Pitcairn mortally wounded by the American soldier who is none other than Peter Salem, the manmitted slave of Major Buckminster and the hero of the hour, the hero of Bunker Hill, who was afterwards presented to Washington by the soldiers in the army and given a contribution of money. While Peter Salem was in the happiest and highest spirits, the agonized son of Major Pitcairn was bearing his father toward the boats. This was not the first battle in which Peter Salem had engaged. He was at the battle of Concord and Lexington and fought desperately, nor was this to be his last, for he was later at Saratoga fighting with equal bravery; and in all these battles he is mentioned by historians. This victory defeat as it 9 NEW PHONE NUMBER Of The St. Louis Argus.

Oftimes during my service in the Regular Army, orders, would come from Brigade Headquarters asking for a report on activities of the troops stationed at a particular post. This report would be made up and forwarded at once, showing drill so many hours per day, field problems on certain days and son it. If the facts, however, had been reported to Brigade Headquarters the report would have shown nothing, as nothing was being done. I say this to show just how things are done in peace times and leave it to you to decide how they are carried out in time of war. In this article I shall give facts about the operations of the Unit referred to by General Bullard and I hope the readers of this and other articles which are to follow will study it carefully so they will understand the disadvantages that the 22nd Division, composed of the Negro soldiers and offered by Negro line officers, faced and particularly that Regiment which I shall mention later. This article is not inspired by any spasmolic fit of anger or nightmare. It is comprised of facts recorded years ago. I have been tried, convicted and exonerated, so I have nothing to gain, no axes to grind and ask nothing. I want however, the public to know the truth and that General Bullard's me.

B. PITZWAER, D. P. Dean of the University of Chicago. (2) BRV P. B. PITZWAER, Newspaper Union. Lesson for June 28 GOLDEN TEXT - Ye shall be wit- nesses unto me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto utermost part of the earth. - Acts 1.8. PRIMARY TOPIC - The Boy Jesus at the Temple School. JESUS - Jesus Asking and Answering Questions. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - The Growth of the Early Church. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC - How the Gospel Spread. As usual, the methods employed. In the review largely depend upon the teacher and the class. Two methods are suggested: First: The biographical. This is a method which can nearly always be used to advantage, since pupils of all ages are interested in the study of persons. Peter, Paul, Stephen, Philip and Barbahms, are very prominent characters in the quarter's lessons. These may be assigned to members of the class the week before with a view of a brief biographical sketch being prepared and read to the class. Second: The summary method. This method calls for the review of the principal facts of each lesson with statement of the leadings teachings thereof. The following is suggested: Lesson I. On the Day of Pentecost, the risen and ascended Christ sent the promise of the Father causing the Holy Ghost to descend upon the disciples to qualify them to be witnesses of His death and resurrection to all the world. Lesson II. The healing of the lame man shows that the risen Christ is able to make strong a man who was born a cripple. The man who was healed thoroughly advertised the miracle. Those who have experienced the life of God cannot but make it known. Lesson III. The church is God's dwelling place. Since it is His dwelling place it is as holy as the holy place in the sanctuary. The Judgment which betell Ananias and Sapphira proves that God will not allow the hypocrite to escape His judgment. Lesson IV.—The behavior of Stephen proves that the risen Christ is able to sustain His witnesses, even while they are sealing their testimony with their blood. His standing shows His active interest in His disciples, and that He welcomes home to heaven those who are faithful. Lesson V.—The experiences of Daniel and his companions show that total abstinence pays. Lesson VI.—Philip, the only man in the New Testament called evangelist, is in the energy of the Spirit preaching the Word and winning men to Christ. Lesson VII.—The conversion of Saul, the bitter enemy of Christ, is an illustrious example of what the revelation of Christ in His glory can do, and also illustrates the method of the conversion of Israel. Lesson VIII.—After Saul's conversion, he straightway reached Christ as the Son of God. Those who are really saved know whom they have believed. Lesson IX.—The stupendous miracle wrought by the risen Christ at the hands of Peter probed that the gospel lost none of its power by being preached abroad. Lesson X.—When Christ would break down the middle wall of partition between the Jews and Gentiles, he gave to Cornellus and Peter each a vision. When the gospel was offered to the Gentiles, the Holy Ghost came upon them as at Pentecost. Lesson XI.—Before the foreign missionary enterprise was launched, a new center of operation was established at Antioch. The Holy Spirit established this strategic center and sent out the missionaries. Lesson XII.—The risen Christ hears the prayers of the church and sends His angels to deliver His faithful ser- The Best Judges Us Our attitude concerning the great value, the great reality, the great personality, is not to put pressure upon our own minds or upon the minds of others to believe in them; and not primarily either with ourselves or others to defend them or to argue for them, but simply to give them opportunity with us and to do what we may to help others, too, to give that opportunity. The best, thus, judges us rather than we it—Henry Churchill King. Better Than Guilt it were, that all the miseries which made them ours at once, than guilt.—Shakespeare. Let Us Not Lose Faith Earl Balfour said not long ago: "Let us not fear that the future is going to be less glorious than the past. Problems of which we never dreamed multiply upon us until we are almost overwhelmed. But let us not lose faith or courage." For Truth's Sake To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of hippian perfection in this world and the seal-plot of all other virtues—John Locke.

June 17.—Representatives of Negro trade unions affiliated to the A. F. of L. have petitioned Negro representatives in the state legislature to support the pending anti-injunction bill. The Negro unionists issued this appeal to check an attempt of friends of the injunction to divide the organized workers on racial lines. "An examination of the records of the American Federation of Labor will show that it has always stood for justice to the Negro workers" the colored unionists declared in their message. "Please understand that, as thoughtful members of our race, consciousness of its needs and problems, we are not assuming to take the position that prejudice and discrimination do not exist. But we insist that the way to remedy that condition, wherever it does exist, is not by arising additional antagonism by taking a stand which would be injurious to our white brothers, but, rather, while insisting upon justice for the members of our own race, we also insist upon justice for all others. "If it be true that, as members of the Illinois state legislature, you have opposed labor legislation because of discrimination which has come to your attention, we earnestly hope that you change your attitude, so that white you continue to insist upon equality in the industrial field, you will at the same time do your utmost to promote legislation favorable to the working people of our state, and that you will thus help to minimize such racial prejudices and misunderstandings as now exist." "Shall it be said, when the general assembly adjourns a few weeks hence, that the injunction-limitation bill, designed to promote the freedom which we all crave, was defeated because the Negro representatives in the law-making body voted against it? We hote not. We believe not?" HOWARD ALUMNI ASS'N HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING WASHINGTON D. C., June 17.—The general-Alumni Association of Howard University hold its annual meeting here last week. Rev.

REPORT IMPROVEMENT IN INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT Demand For Labor For Construction And Farm Work Increasing Throughout U. S. WASHINGTON, June 17—Industrial employment is "quite satisfactory" throughout the country, the United States Employment Service announced today in making public a survey of working conditions during May. "The upward trend noted in employment in April was sustained," the report said. "This increase is not large but it is gratifying, to note that there is no great amount of unemployment apparent in any section of the country." Among other entailment of bituminous coal mining during the past 30 days, the report said that a number of mines were entirely closed and many of those still open were operating on a two or three day basis, while a number of the miners had found employment on road construction and seasonal farm work. Derease In Steel Industry The iron and steel industry slightly curtailed operations in some plants last month, causing a decrease in the number of employees, but with few exceptions textile mills operated on a satisfactory schedule. "The encouraging feature of this report," said Francis I. Jones, director of the employment service, "is that the automobiles industry is adding locust forces. "The increased demand for all classes of farm labor in practically every state is affording employment to large numbers of men, while some localities, report a shortage of skilled agricultural help. "There is no apparent let-up in building construction work, and all building trades men are able to find employment. The building of state and county roads is now well under way and is affording a large amount of employment."

LEADS DRIVE FOR HAMPTON-TUSKEGEE FUND NEW YORK CITY, June 17—The Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund has now reached a total of $4,308,632.03 or over five-sixths of the five million mark. With many working earnestly in numerous cities, there are high hopes that the $5,000,000 goal will be realized within the next five weeks and Mr. Eastman's conditional offer of $2,000,000 secured. The amounts raised in the various cities organized are as follows: New York $2,250,000 Philadelphia 201,000 Chicago 126,000 Providence 108,000 Washington 35,000 New Haven 38,000 Detroit 25,500 Hartford 20,000 Other cities 350,000 INDUSTRIAL DIRECTOR WARNS HARVEST WORKERS INDUSTRIAL DIRECTOR WARNS HARVEST WORKERS Should Have Assurance That Work Awaits Them Before Traveling, He Says Preston News Service COLUMBUS, O, June 24—Ohioans who have planned an invasion of the great harvest fields of Kansas and Oklahoma with a hope of securing profitable employment are warned against going West unless they have absolute assurance that work awaits them there. Herman R. Witter director of industrial relations, Thursday, received a warming issued by the federal director at Kansas City, who asks him to discourage unemployed Ohioans from flocking to western states with a hope of securing work in the harvest fields. The harvest, because of the extremely hot weather, began, 10 days earlier than usual this year, the federal advises indicated, and a sufficient amount of farm help is available. The warning issued is given for the benefit of expectant workers who may save the expense of the western trip. In the northern spring wheat states a demand for help may come later, but if it materializes, as expected, dusk announcement will be made by Director Witter. Whoever dominates must be prepared for carcels of flattery. "I love my beauty to Hi-Ja Beauty preparations, says Mimi Beigou. "I love my beauty and nationally known Beauty.

The statements made in this article are not designed for self-glorification or the glorifying of other officers. What we did was our duty to our country under oath. Let justice be given where justice is due. I, as stated, happened to be one of the five officers court-martialled, the others being Lieut. Cross, Lieut. Cheers, Lieut. Crawford and Lieut. Green, all of Company "L." 386th Infantry. I was attached to Company "K" under arrest, which I shall explain later. Company "T," was commanded by Captain Green, killed in action. Company "K" commanded, by Captain Peeks, both from the Regular Army. I was commissioned Captain at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, from Sergeant, Tr. "C" 10th Cav. Reported at Camp Div New Jersey, for duty with some twenty-five other officers, performed no duties from November 1917 until February 1918. All colored officers were ordered to Camp Meade, Maryland and assigned to Companies, but I was attached to Company "B" commanded by Captain Saunders, June 15, 1918, we sailed for France, arriving at Brest, June 27, arriving at Chatillon, July 9. This was a training area. On July 13, Captain Marshbanks was ordered to school and I was placed in command of Company "D." I will state here in this 5-5-2020 open all troops were in billets where there were no white officers and for some reason we were ordered to go into camp, just out of the village. While in this village everything went well, and we were moved out I do not know. The soldiers, however, were not allowed to visit the people, who were very friendly. Of course, you may think for yourself why I am now referring to the operations of the 363th Infantry and stating records from my diary. August 12. "Leaf Chantillon for Dorelles Voges Reserve position in quiet sector, arriving August 13." "Left Dorecelles by truck at 11 a.m. for support position at St. Pauvall, arriving 7:20 a.m. August 20. Reported to a French Colonel. I was then commanding Company "D" and was attached to a French Regiment. The commander officer asked if I had a map. I said "No," and he was greatly surprised and asked "How do you travel?" I have no record of what Division this was but think it was the 172nd French Division. August 20. At 10:30 I was given a guide to go to the position that I was to take over with Company "D" and looked it over. The officer was still curious about why I had no map. "Took over position with one platoon, leaving remainder at St. Prayal, Believed about the operations in that sector. He had been there one month, had captured no prisoners, and the only man in the outfit that had been killed was the captain. He was killed T30 French No. 30. I inquired us to the direction of the enemy and to this query he seemed surprised, but pointed to where his captain was supposed to have been shaken. He, too, had no maps. I further asked about radies. They had made none, but the Germans had and were driven back." Imagine for yourself what a predation these men of my platoon were to labor in. Their orders from me were brief and the best that could be given at that time. This platoon commanded by Lieut. Hawkins and the position was designated a La Haut. I remained at La Haut until August 23. "Rejoined remainder of Company at St. Prayal. August 28. Captain Marchbanks returned from school relieving use of cagemand." August 29. Relief of white troops was in begi- n at 12:30 and end at 5:30 p.m. All went well. Company marched in position under trying conditions and enemy's lines. Company com- mitted by Captain Marchbanks. August 30. "In position, Sector quiet." August 31. Under heavy bombardment from enemy from 12 midnight to 5:30 a.m. during the bombardment of gas and shraphed, a raiding party attacked a position held by Lt. Carter. It was repulsed, resulting in one casualty." I state here that Company "A" under command of Captain Alkwood from Washington, D. C. had taken up a position on our left. During this bombardment he had seven men wounded and our general said we could not stand shell fire, though it stood firm under fire, though it was their first experience, and again while Captain Banks was moving his company in position under fire there was no confusion. He was never halted but continued his march though the trail would only admit a single file march. This was difficult and dangerous but he had his orders and was determined to carry them out." "A strong German patrol was sighted in front of T-30 commanded by Lient. Reese of Company T" about 8:30 a.m. His men opened fire which caused the enemy to halt for observation. He sent message to his Company commander who sent same to Battalion Commander (this was necessary as orders were no raids, or patrols would go out except on orders from Battalion Headquarters. This battalion was commanded by Major Morrison, an efficient officer but who had that same feeling as all others toward the Negro. He was very much liked by officers and men under his command. At 3:30 p. m. a patrol under Lient. Leendar. Battalion Adjutant, was sent out to capture and bring in the enpursed patrol sighted Lient. Reese at 8:30 a.m. At 4 p. m. Leendar and his squad of 8 men had completely surrounded the German raiding party. Lient. Reese still keeping in touch with the enemy from his position. Lieut. Leenard killed 8 of the German raiding party and captured two, arriving at Battalion Headquarters at 5 p.m. with his prisoners. Our General, however, states that a single prisoner was captured. Lieut. Leenard was killed in action September 27, which I shaft mention later. I am still at leisure no duties to perform." September 5. "Received order to report to Commanding Officer of Company "C" who was Captain Pecks, another Regular Army man from 10th Cav. Then ordered to report to Battalion Commander, arriving at Battalion Headquarters at 5:30 p.m. This was 3rd Battalion, 308th Infantry commanded by Major Norris, who is responsible for the operation of Battalion. Received orders from Major Norris to take our position namely Rheulequad and Gima-Goush. In this position was to be two platoons and was to be relieved every 8 days. Placed Lient, Madden with one platoon at Rheulequad with one machine gun, using this as my support and person commanded Gima Goush was my front line. All went well." September 7. Decided to make a change in one of my outposts on the front and it is well that I did, as the enemy located it." September 8. Former pitpost position a target for the enemy and bombardment of it insisted our hours." I wish the readers to note that I am writing this because of our General's accusations. I want to let the public know the facts, and if what I see in this article is not on record then the reports sent to Division Head quarters were false as to operation of the 363th Infantry and especially he 3rd, Battalion to which General Bulhard referred in his article.

Mrs. Booker T: Washington As I Saw Her At Tuskegee By Cleveland G. Allen Ashcogedal Negra Press. When I received the news of the passing of the late Mrs. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, I began to recall some of my impressions of her when I was visiting Tuskegee last summer. Those who have ever visited Tuskegee will not forget the graciousness and courtesy of Mrs. Washington, and of her desire to see every visitor that kind of treatment for which Tuskegee is famous. She always joined in making the visitor feel at home, and she would often go out of her way to see to it that nothing was left undone to make you feel the Tuskegee welcome. One of the things that impressed me greatly about Mrs. Washington when I was at Tuskegee was her interest in girls. She soon became the friend of the girl students at Tuskegee, and in her they found an advisor who would never fail to give the proper advice concerning the problem—they were feciling. She was very meticulous and her mother was one that put you at ease. She impressed you as being concerned with the development of women, and in this direction she devoted much of her time at Tuskegee. She was always courteous in her manner, and wanted the race to lock on Tuskegee as an institution in which they could feel a just pride. Nothing gave her greater pleasure than to know that Tuskegee was having the faith that the people put in it. She did not seek to impress you with her importance. She would be seen walking quietly across the campus, but there was something about her carriage that would arrest your attention, and to those who did not know her, they would invariably, inquire after her. She had a very artistic bearing that was natural and graceful and which had a fine influence on the girls at Tuskegee. She kept a streak of every vital issue of her life, women of the world. One of the pleasures slons of Mrs. Washington was at a meeting of the Tuskegee Women's Club, of which she was the founder and president. The club is made up of women teachers and wives of the men of the faculty. The influence THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1925 that Mrs. Washington had upon the women at Tuskegee was seen at a meeting of this club, which would meet regularly during the year and discuss topics of interest. Anyone visiting Tuskegee who attends a meeting of the Tuskegee Woman's Club will get some idea of the culture of the women at the institution and the extent of which they are acquainted with the problems of the world. Mrs. Washington was one of the dominating influences of this club, and to its development and force she gave a great deal of her life. Mrs. Washington was formerly a teacher and interest in it. She knew that the foundation of civilization rested upon the home, and that idea she sought to instill in the girls at Tuskegee. Mrs. Washington wanted, the colored women to take a large part in the world affairs, and to make themselves felt as factors. She had faith in the women of the race, and gave you the impression that character and not color should be the test. I saw her at Tuskegee as a woman of earnestness, sincerity in her effort to make her life count as one of service. It was a real inspiration to see her, and to see her marked devotion to the cause to which she gave the most beautiful years of her life. "Come to Tuskegee often," was what she said to me when we met one morning in the administration building. She said it with a sincerity that impressed you. Tuskegee has lost in Mr. Washington a factor which has done so much to make it such a delightful place to visit. Her influence will forever be felt, not only at Tuskegee, but their out the nation. Variety is sometimes the price of life. A fool and his "Honey" are easily separated. You can't paint the lily; but there are few Lilies who don't paint them-selves. Famous Fourth of July last words "Now watch me hold it in my hand and let it go off!" Little Willie thinks Independence Day is a day to be independent of all paternal control. The three "Rs" aren't half as interesting as the three "Fs": Firecrackers, Flappers and Flippers. There is a bride in the affairs of man which, when taken in June or any old time, means all his fortune. The reason a boarding house always serves prunes is because there are always a lot of prunes sitting around to be served. We expect to live to see all implements of warfare legislated out of existence except the right of woman to put powder on her nose. Another trouble with the country. There are too few prize fighters retiring from the ring, and too many women retiring from their wedding rings. A little playlet entitled, "This Mundane Sphere:" Chapter 1 Burns. No Insurance. Owner sobs. Chapter 2—Man dies. Fully covered. Widow smiles. The War Department at last has given us the answer to that famous question, "Y is the Fourth of July!" It's to put on a mobilization demonstration, of course! Texas believes in evolution. During the campaign it was "Ma' Ferguson." Shortly afterward it was "Governor Ferguson." Now it's "Hon. Miriam A. Ferguson, Governor of Texas." "It is a good idea to abolish poison gas in war. And the same goes for warships and soldiers"—St Louis Post-Dispatch. To which we would add, international hatred. The editorial policy of the Oil City, (Pa.) Derrick is listed in a well known newspaper directory as "Republican and Petroleum." All Democrats at least will admire the Derrick's frankness. Foreign Minister Briand has announced that the French Government has started "pension conversions" with regard to payment $4,000,000,000 war debt due the United States. How about also some "serious conversions" of promises into cash? Booster Stuff—Hot Off the Griddle A town prospect in proportion to the horse-power and horse-sense of its boosters. Fine feathers don't make fine birds neither do the pictures in a catalog-make fine goods. Ask the next peddler that sells you something where he will be when you want to make an adjustment on your purchase. Advertising opens the doors of knowledge to the buying public; and the public wants it, expects is, and is disappointed if it does not get it. If there's anything that proves the truth of the old saying, "anticipation is greater than realization," it's in ordering an article from a mail order house. The most apt illustration we ever heard of the soundness and value of advertising is the story of the lady who, when sailor's out past the Rock of Gibraltar, asked her husband where the insurance sign was. Now you tell one. You expect a newspaper to tickle your parents when you are born; describe with glamorous appeal the happy ceremony of your wedding; and extol your virtues in eulogistic phrases when you, die. How about paying up that overdue subscription before you forget it? You have the right to send your trading dollars out of town. You also have the right to throw away your best shirt. Trading at home isn't a question of "rights." It's a question of sound economic policy coupled with community loyalty that smacks pretty close to moral-duty. HOW TRUE! Commenting on the reported number of deaths from the recent heat wave in the middle-west and east, a Y. M. C. A. secretary ventures that at least three-torhs of these deaths were due to the failure of the victim to furnish the ordinary requirements of normal living, so that the sudden heat merely furnished an excuse for their deaths. There is a great deal of truth in the assertion of this secretary which leads one to surmise as to whether most ailments are produced or invited by conditions of improper living and depleted vitality. It is easy, of course, to wind ourselves up in logic by carrying a proposition too far. Just like the doctor who asserts that there is only one immediate cause of death, heart failure, simply because the heart stops beating and ends it. However, the further statement of the Y. M. C. A. is official is worth quoting: "In exercise, improper habits of eating, excessiness in observing health habits, excessive smoking, insufficient sleep, and such ordinary causes were undoubtedly back of most of these fatalities; or, in other words, most of those who died from the heat might have kept on living if they had taken the trouble to keep themselves moderately fit." Funny how modern things bring back old fashioned expressions. Take dirplanes. There's "he flew to pieces." By ERNEST RICE McKINNEY Preston News Service Ben Davis: Is It True?— Although I haven't seen anything that could be called documentary evidence in the case, it is reported that Ben Davis, of the Atlanta Independent, the Negro Press Association and other things too numerous to mention, is asking Negroes to buy rebel memorial coins, at $1.00 each. This money is to be used to complete the group of rebel soldiers and slave owners that will adorn the face of Stone Mountain. That is, these slave owners will adorn Stone Mountain if the usual Inefficiency of southern whites can be overcome. If they get this through it will be one of the very few things that white southerners have accomplish in the war, all of which are executive ability. There is only one thing that a white man in the South does well. I don't need to say what it is for the whole world knows. However, it is hard to believe that Ben Davis can be assisting them to get Robert Lee's figure carved in stone for other Negroes to look at. I suppose though that by some process of squeezing the camel through the eye of the needle this sort of thing will be called sectional pride, civic ambition, forging unto seven times seven times, turning the other cheek, etc. Every Negro who gives one cent to help finish the Stone Mountain Memorial should have a red bandana tied on his head-and made to wear it forever. Should Negroes contribute to the building of this memorial they should be represented by the vice-leader in a very direct way. Robert Lee should be shown riding North with horses' hoops crushing over Negro women and children; slaves prostrate in the cotton fields. To properly represent their present day relations with Negroes, these white Georgians should carve, a burning at the stake on the 'mountain'. To make the thing complete all the handkerchief-head. Negroes, should be present, at the dedication, to help sing "Dixie" and give the rebel yell. Drooping Females— It is difficult to guess what will be the results, in the offspring of this present generation of drooping and stoop-shouldered females. It is very rare now that one sees a young girl or woman who walks erect. They assume the shape of a question mark whether walking or standing at rest. They seem to think it immodest to throw out their chests and make their spines approach the perpendicular. I suppose that it has all come about as the consequence of the modern dances. It may have sprung from the desire to look at one's ankles to be sure that they are fit for the gaze of the male, or to discover whether or not the powder has blown off their knees. At any rate if the young girls don't soon straighten up locomotion will be by rolling, like a hoop, instead of walking like a human being. And now comes Dr. Charles Satchell-Morris, Sr., with a refutation of the theory of evolution. Dr. Morris will probably be at Dayton, Tennessee, where he will save our youth and the once with once and all delivered to the salants. Dr. Morris' argument is similar to that of Mr. Bryan; he attempts to discredit as scientific theory by recourse to the Bible. The Norfolk Journal and Guide describes Dr. Morris' method and states his argument. It says, "Dr. Morris unloosed a verbal barrage against evolution and its exponents. Citing an imposing array of Biblical quotations and scientific writings on the subject, and stepping lightly from one end of the large platform to the other with the Bible chasped to his bosom, he successfully dramatized the situation in a way that held the audience wholly in awe of his sequence. Then the Journal and Guide assumed to say that Dr. Morris assailed evolution and cited passages from the scripture to prove his contentions. He also appealed to the common sense of his audience and asked them to decide the question as a jury decides other questions. I wonder if Dr. Morris would be willing for that same audience to decide a technical theological dispute, or a legal dispute in which he was involved, or if he would be willing for the same "hurry"-nailing nothing but "common sense"—to prescribe for when he'd be ill? A sub-title to this Journal and Guide article, rather humorously tells us that—Dr Charles Satchell Morris Refutes Evolution." Howard on Drydock— The pot keeps boiling in our educational institutions. An expert has had Howard University/on drydock and has given it a thorough overhauling and scraping. But Dr. Durkee, the president, has been left intact and in-position to become head of some other/jacchool that bars Negroes from attending. The reports have it that Professor Locke has been let out/also Professor Tibbs. It is said that a bandman maserer, Professor Tibbs, place in the department of music. Professor Tibbs is a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music. This action is similar to replacing a department head in a big corporation with the head inspector. Perhaps it is thought that these young people, at Howard, need more military discipline and less formal education. Perhaps they will have the hand play, "Hail to the Chief (Durkee) while the students are marching to and from classes." The expert, benevolently, recommends that the School of Religion be kept open and that was to be expected. The whites can be depended on to have some means of passing their religion on to the Negro. They believe in this. Give the Negro plenty of religion, common labor and military discipline. This is far better, so they say, than teaching him to think and act and do for himself. VENEREAL DISEASES DESTROY HEALTH WASHINGTON, D. C., June 16.—While educational and legal measures for the control of venereal diseases aim through general public enlightenment and legislative enactment to lessen and eliminate exposures to infection, the medical measures have for their object the control and treatment of persons already infected. It is entirely erroneous to consider these infections solely the result of illicit relations. Congenial and incessantly acquired infections are by no means uncommon in whereway acquired the problem of the health officer is the same; namely, to prevent the spread of infection to other persons and to cure those who are actually infected. Not infrequently venereally infected persons have become a danger to public health because of financial inability to secure proper medical care it is therefore, essential to maintain venereal disease clinics for free diagnosis and treatment of indigent persons. Whenever it is found that persons who apply for treatment in a clinic are able to pay for such treatment, they are directed to private physicians. Care is exercised that public funds will not be used for the treatment of those who are able to private physicians. Clinics should be centrally located and operated at hours convenient to all. It is fundamental to the success of a clinic to find the sources of venereal infection and to get such person to the clinic for treatment, eliminating thereby further danger of infection to others in the community. At prenatal clinics prospective mothers should be able to receive examination and treatment with a view of preventing the infection of the unborn child. There is abundant evidence that such treatment, when necessary reduces the possibility of the child becoming infected. Even though the newborn child of a syphilis infected mother may have signs of infection at the time, it should be kept under medical supervision for examination and any required treatment and care. Small communities and rural districts may in many cases find it practicable to make use of the clinical facilities in a neighboring city. In such cases the county board may contribute to the support of the clinic. Should this be deemed inexpedient, a traveling clinic may be organized, for the purchase of cash funds for the provision of drugs, or those may be provided by the State board of health. Provision should be made for hos pital care of patients whose condition makes treatment at a clinic impossible or less effective. Special wards for the treatment of venereal cases should be established in municipal, county and state hospitals. Treatment should be made, available to those who are unable to pay for it. Early diagnosis and treatment of venereal diseases require scientific laboratory examination and special sales. Special laboratory laboratories for this purpose be established for use of clinics, hospitals and private physicians. The insidious nature of syphilis and gonorrhea, the not infrequent de- velopment of complications due to the individual peculiarities of the patient make it imperative to the welfare of the infected person that he place him self under the continued care of a competent physician. Hence, dru- gists should refuse to sell noostrums and should direct the person seeking treatment, to a venereal disease clinic or a reputable physician. All cases of venereal diseases should be promptly reported as required by law to the State health authorities. The attending physician is responsible for instructing the infected person as to the nature of syphilis or gonorrhea, whichever the case may be, the necessity of continued treatment, and the inherent dangers to the individual and the community. Should the patient fail to continue under treatment or should he subject others to infection, it becomes the duty of the attending physician to notify the State health officer, so that the danger to others in the community may be removed by the enforcement of quarantine and necessary treatment. One of the Venereal Disease Control Officers of the State Health Departments and the United States Public Health Service held at Hot Springs, Arkansas, in December of last year, endorsed a resolution recommending that greater efforts be made by official and voluntary agencies to devise measures for immediate disinfection of persons who have exposed themselves to possible venereal disease infection. Such prophylaxis is it is urged, would substantially reduce the number of cases of syphilis and gonorrhea. Immediate and continued treatment of venereal diseases should be stressed. Both syphilis and gonorrhea best yield to treatment in the early stages, but even old or stubborn cases of these diseases may be arrested or cured by continued and competent medical care and treatment. Venereal diseases are responsible for an appallingly great amount of suffering and for an enormous expenditure of money. This pain and this expense are largely avoidable, for syphilis and gonorrhea both practicable and curable. We have seen that the situation is serious, but we have also seen that the remedy is at hand. Conservative citizens will see to it that all necessary things are done in their communities to suppress syphilis and gonorrhea, the age-old destroyers of health, wealth and happiness. Colortul News "Movies" By The Cameraman For Preston News Service Sixth Deadline of Lynchings are reported for the year 1924 by the Federal Council of Churches, which adds to its report the statement that growing public opinion is having slow but sure offset upon American's greatest evil, the Court of Judge Lynch. It is pointed out that 16 of these crime events are the lowest figure since records have been kept. And even though, as we go to press, word comes from the court that the court is for rejoicing that this monster evil is on the decline, no matter what the cause may be. Lynching, of course reverts to the days of prehistoric man. It is not unlike the early English custom of having accused folks thrust their hands into cauldrons of boiling water to test their guilt or innocence, in which latter case the flesh was not supposed to become scalded. The court is doing in this land of the free and the home of the brave, tainted with modern Christianity, is one of the anomalies of Civilization. Even in the face of the decline, sixteen lynchings are sixteen too many, and so long as one man, woman or child is victim of the mob, just so long will this country be unable to boast of the testing, time of the dual citizenship of Americans—one in the State and one in the United States—is at hand. And the time to punish mobs which execute American citizens without due process of law is long overdue. The draft of sons for the World War, the interstate commerce traffic, the federal laws of taxation and dozens of other matters have been and are amenable to federal power. Who then dares conspire against the nation's citizen, beset by the mob, is not entitled to federal protection; whether he be in Georgia, Mississippi, Utah, or Maine, for that matter. When state protection ends, it is time for Federal protection to begin; for the Constitution says a person is a citizen of the United States and of the state where he resides. For a man whom the French government fights in France to protect from violence, or for that mob to go unpunished for its lawlessness, we, in think one of the present great inconstructions of American justice and independence—a challenge to civilization, and menace to citizens of the United States of America. Even sixteen lynchings, we repeat, are sixteen too many. Broadcasting Crime News— The boss wired us from the Smoky City to give him our opinion regarding the publication of crime news, asking whether or not headline space depicting murder and lesser evils was an accelerator or a deterrent of the persecution of felonies and misdemeanors. Without design to pose either as a crimologist or a psychologist, we would answer our boss by saying that the broadcasting of crime is a patent accelerator of evil itself. When it is considered that the mind is fertile to criminal intent from the age of seven years upwards and that there are various stages and types of weakness in the brain, the broadcasting of crime, it must be admitted that the struggle for mastery between good and evil is influenced by recitals of each and that a marked influence may be noted from crime news told From screaming headlines downwards. When lynching was in its heyday in this country, embellished headlines of the mob formation and action, with accompanying photographs, held no quelling influence upon that miserable outlawness. Rather, to the diseased criminal mind glowing stories of crime were a stimulant, and narrations of felonious deeds quickened weaklings to much like the youths who were worst to imitate, in pay the deeds of Jesse James and Captain Kidd. News censors of today have brought about stringent lines for the suppression of vice and crime news. Publications and news coursing through Uncle Sam's mail must be clean and wauneless. Municipal ordinances and state statutes are guarding the types of plays and pictorials which exhibitors are providing for public amusement, and even though the "Jazz" age is in full bloom, and modesty is somewhat restrained, the world realizes that the public mind is in its safest sphere when it is kept apart from visions of crime and vice, for which, since Adam ate the apple weak men have eroded, and which must be kept under窥侍 to prevent infant abuse from propoganda, the fury of swirling attempts to outdo the doers of evil. No sir, MasterBoss crime news should No sir, Mister; Boss, crime news should not be broadcast. Melvin J. Chisum, Benefactor— The telephone rang the other day, and we hateded to a joyous "Hello" from our old friend "Mel" Chisum, who was about to serve another one, probably heard that Chisum is America's "dinner king" from coast to coast, and that whether he is at the Vincennes, the Whitlaw, or Travelers! Inn, somehow or other Melvin seems to be able to induce the chef to put the sama touch into all the dishes to put nuts. In other words, a Chihuahua dinner is one hundred per cent perfect —cooked with a feeling—and sataining to the nth degree. It is after dinner, though that we looked deep down into the "Mel" and we found that Chisum, the benefactor, gave Chisum the giver of dinners. Here he who had inhibited deeply of that theory is more blessed to give than to receive. Here was a man who was helping out here and helping out there—a veritable friend in need, as unselfish as the noonday sun. He had reached town just in time to save the day for a buddle, and was sorry he could not stay by him but he had wired him from Chicago and he had to make time to the Windy City where he was much needed. Service! Service to the Race seemed to be the ace card that Chisum hold, and it wasn't up his sleeve by any means. It was in the palm of his hand and in his fertile brain. The only time we saw him 'trown was when an injustice to "his people" was menacled to "he is" with unsuffolish people of the Chisum type, no discard "I" and "M" for You and "They." A few more to take the places of personal profiteers would result in a sincerity in the Negro world which would be outstanding and helpfully influential internally and externally, so far as racial endeavor and progress are concerned. Self-preservation, of course, is the first law that a person must mean that a fellow has to fold away in order to keep his hands away from the other fellow's troubles. At least, it doesn't mean that to Melvin Chisum and other benefactors of his calibre. Washington is is all "hot" up, both physically and morally. The rare June days brought beads of perspiration to the brows of Washingtonians, and sweltering heat has secured the smiles of those few Christian scientists who make believe that Washington is a cool place in the good old summer time. Also, too, the bathing beach down on the cool Potomac, which has so often brought temporary relief to burning bodies, is no longer available; for Congress blue-penciled the appropriations for the maintenance of the beach when it colored folks in Washington, so often jim-crowed where public works are concerned, would not accept the cluded spot on Buzzards Point, where "Sunkissed" Washingtonians, could deport themselves for cooling or cleaning purposes, as the case might have been; Six drownings during the hot spell quite convinced white Washington that it had cut off its nose to spite it face in permitting Congress to fail to provide funds for the beach. So a compromise was undertaken to provide funds and space for a beach, at the same time allocating similar advantages, exceasing as to location, for the brothers and sisters. So insistent with white proponents of the beach that will make reckless promises were made that ship equipment, excepping as to location, equipment, would be made available to the colored people, whose skins, however, inanned by God, may not suffer as much as lighter tents do under the burning rays of the Washington sun. The compromisers, though, reckoned without their host, who far had away have wide away in the First Cogressional district of Chicago, from which some congressman Meudon, though congressman Blanton and other influential men, spring, had gone without a beach in order to keep the brothel without one, remained adamant and immovable, saying: "I was not in favor of the law as passed, but now that it is a law, I do not sanction its violation." All of which leads us to conclude that the good old porcelain bath, herefore the summer time, will be in high favor this year. And as a City Councilman said: "Nearly all colored people have bathtubs nowadays." We should worry. TID-BITS By Leonard Massenburge Associated Negro Press Of the many interesting sights in the City of Algiers, on the North Af- rican coast, one of the most striking is the great hordes of old Arabs sit- ting carelessly around in coffee houses and pretty parks. When the tourist steps off the steamer and enters the town the first thing that attracts his attention is, of course, the strung dresses of the native women and flow- ing mantle and headgear of the men. The second thing that attracts the attention of the curious tourist is the fact that the whole Arabian city seems to be filled with old men, none unde- fifty, and many so old that the creases in their faces are half an inch deep. These old men never work, their days of labor are at an end. Just as soon as an Algerian has raised his family to the point where that family can work the old man is told to take a rest, his children will support him, he gets a few packages of cigarettes, some money for coffee and goes down town to spend the days in gossip, arguments and poetic imaginations. Unless something terrible happens, the old man never again takes up the burden of hard labor, but sits around offers sage advice, and the strange fact is that the children are actually delighted to keep the father in luxury round the case, while inside the house the round is handled by the mother, while the daughter either sit in the shade or go out to gossip with the neighbors. Constantinople, Turkey, is the most cosmopolitan city in the whole world. It is a place where a man who cannot speak at least two languages is considered as beneath notice. The average business man of Constantinople speaks at least six languages and the higher classes often speak a dozen different tongues. It is said that there is not a language in all the world that is not spoken in Constantinople. NEW PHONE NUMBER Of The St. Louis-Argus CENTRAL 4620 Address 2312-14 Market
