An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man VOL. XIV NO. 10 KLAN LOSES SUIT AGAINST CALIF. EDITOR Court Decides He Had Right To Publish Klan Letter. Asks About Body's Lack Of Legal Status LOS ANGLES, Calif., July 1—The sensational trial of Editor J. H. Bass of the California Eagle and his wife, Mrs. Charlotte Spear-Bass, on a charge of criminal libel preferred by Gus W. Price, Imperial Representative of the Klan of the State of California came to a conclusion here last week with the finding of the defendants not guilty, and their exoneration from their bonds. A Victory Over the Klan The suit against the California Eagle arose over an article published in the April 16th edition of the paper, which the plaintiff alleged was injurious and defamatory to the Klan. The letter was purported to have been sent to citizens of Watts by members of the Klan and Editor Hass considered himself within the law in publishing it. Klan Cannot Ban Press Judge Chambers in handing down his decision on the case declared that owing to the fact that a political campaign was pending at Watts, and that the Klan was at least interested in the case, the letter published had at first been turned over to the police and then published for what it was worth, the article was privileged. The letter, the judge held, constituted valuable information to the readers of the California Eagle. Klan Has No Local Status Attorney Hugh E. MacBee, Counsel for the defense pointed out that the Klan was banned from functioning in the late sixties and that the present Klan which is only a revival of the old Klan, has never been recognized as having legal status in this country. Judge Chambers upheld the defense's argument in his decision.

NEW LOCATION OF The St. Louis Argus 2312-14 Market St. Phone, Central 4620 Published In The Interest Of Colored People NEGRO 'CRUSAD CONVERTS 22,000 TO CHRISTIANITY Converts Discovered In So- Africa, Evangelist Began Invasion Of Ivory Coast Ten Years Ago LONDON, June 27.—The story is being spread throughout the world of the discovery of a great Negro pro- priate, whose life was taken by of whom little was known until last week when the amazing discovery of his miraculous conversion of thou- ands of heathens was made by Rpw. W. J. Platt, chairman of the Wester- ly Methodist Mission in French West Africa. The missionary found a com- munity of 67,2000 Negro Christians, whose existence was unknown to any of the regular Christian churches, and learned that their teacher was a Negro evangelist. The story as told in a caballero to the London Times and New York World was as follows: Fri. Two years ago day, Platt was stationed at Porto Nove, a mission in the Lague district, and in consequence of a French colonial government order against the use of the Toudi district in any of his flock, who resided in France, he went to investigate. Passed on a district little traversed by whiten or other travelers, he was astonished to find native villages full of Christians who received him joyfully, and hailed him as a heaven-went teacher. 12,000 At Meeting The extent of their knowledge of Christianity was not great, but their zeal and hunger for further instruction was unmistakable, according to the missionary. They had set aside a Sabath day and attended their churches twice on Sunday, conducted services, the meaning of which they were hardly aware, sang hymns, the wording of which meant nothing to them. A speedily arranged open-air service organized for Rev. Platt's benefit produced a congregation of more than 12,000 devout worshippers, and the praacher found there were many more thousands of worshippers in the remote districts. A Negro "Crusader" Inquiring into the origin of this unsuspected Christian community, Rev. Platt found that it owed its belonging to a Negro evangelist named Wm. Wade Harris, who was formerly a laborer in the employment of the Underground Shipping Co. Coming under the Christian franchises, he returned to his native country, Liberia, to denounce the persecution and idolatry practiced there. Like Joan of Arc, he saw visions and heard voices, and in a short time he established an amazing influence among the natives. Rock Bound Faith The marvelous thing to Rev. Platt and the other missionaries was that the influence has been permanent. It is more than 10 years since the black "crusader" first swept through French-West Africa, fiercely denouncing superstition, witchcraft, cannibalism and injurious worship, and many of the communities received only one or two visits from him. Always he took the more teachers would come, and the more legally kept up the religion he had taught them, pending the arrival of such teachers. Never Took Money Harris, who is variously known as "Prophet Harris, the 'black Elijah' and the 'black John the Baptist' ranges all up and down the west coast of Africa, and has proven the most remarkable Negro evangelist in modern history. He is entirely disinterested, and has never made a penny out of his teachings, taking only food and a resting place for the night from his disciples. Fearlessly he has journeyed up and down the ivory coast, making innumerable converts. D. C. Cook, 4223 Kennery avenue, a Spanish American war veteran, died at his residence early Tuesday morning at the age of 50 years, following a hemorrhage of the lung.

Inspiring Messages From The Champions Of Human Freedom Feature Meeting, Letter From Pres. Storey Is Read. DENYER, Colo., June 27. — Features of the ninth annual session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which convened in this city last Wednesday, June 24, were the earliest addresses delivered by Messrs. Charles E. Russell, noted author and publicist, and the Hon. L. C. Dier of St. Louis, the champion of the anti-lynching bill. Mr. Russell said that the Constitution of the United States must either stand for something or stand for nothing, and laid his audience, that the American Secret should continue his fight for equal rights and equal justice until every barrier was broken. Mr. Dreyer expressed the importance of changing the Semitic rules so as to prevent filibustering in the future. He asserted that the greatest way to break up lynching in this country is for the Federal government to interfere. He said he intended to keep on fighting with the colored people until every right guaranteed under the Constitution was theirs. It was an inspiring event at the convention when a letter was read from the Hop, Moorfield Storey of Boston, the National President of the Association, Mr. Storey is now in his eighteenth year, which was celebrated by the branches early this year. He wrote as follows: 'My friends of the National Association: "I regret sincerely that I cannot be with you at this great gathering. In itself it is conclusive evidence of the progress which our cause is making. Contrast this vast assemblage of delegates from all parts of the country and the speakers who have come to address it with the few men who attended the birth of this Association and the obscurity in which its work was begun. "The reason for our growth is not far to seek. We are right. We are seeking no favor, no privileges. We ask only the rights which the Constitution and laws of the United States accord. Every American citizen, and we cannot fail. Fix in your memories the immortal words of Shakespeare: "Thrice he is armed who bath his quarrel just. And he has locked though locked up in steel. Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted!" is corrupted. "We cry for justice in the course at the polls, and wherever it is now denied. We ask only for "a square deal," a fair chance with our fellow citizen. It is not possible that such a demand can long be refused. "No party convention in purity of purpose and in highness of sin can compare with this body. No manufacturers are here demanding a tariff which will enable them to tax their neighbors. No Ku Klux Klan is working for its criminal purposes. No office seeking gang is fighting for spolls. Here is nothing but "good and fair." Are fair, give fair to the rights of our people and your cordial and united support, and the supporters of injustice and tyranny cannot stand against the cause of truth which is ours." (Signed) MOORFIELD STOREY. UPHOLDS DISCHARGE OF POLICE COURT CLERK A suit filed in Circuit Judge Falkenhainer's Court for, an injunction which would prevent the removal of James H.

OWENS EDITOR'S NOTES It was about five o'clock on the morning of July fourth, when little Willie came tipping through the house calling 'get up, Vera, it's the fourth.' The lighted sparkler in his hand portrayed a round brown face with a set of pearly white teeth showing between his thin lips. Again Vera heard the voice but this time felt a soft hand on her uncovered arm. She sat upright in her bed rubbing her eyes vigorously with her tiny fist. Removing her fists, she dumbbled up, from her eyes and staring at the figure before her, she began to see clearly who the 'early caller' was. Willie was not yet out of his pajamas and his sparkler being long since extinguished, made him resemble a ghost standing stationary beside Vera's bed. 'Get up Vera,' he said again. 'daddy has brought us some fire works and we can have lots of fun before he and ma wake up.' Quickly the girl sprang from her bed, slipped her fet into her bed room slippers and the two, hand in hand, tipped softly down the dark stairs, through the silent hallway, into the dining room. Willie removed the huge box with his sister's aid, from the table, placed it on the floor and seated themselves beside it. My, how they enjoyed the brilliantly colored red light and the star-like sparks tying from the sparklers. How they did smile to themselves! Suddenly Willie spied something red on the table and went to get it. What did he see? It was a large fire cracker which he brought and laid on the floor beside a few sparklers he and Vera had placed there. After resuming his position beside the box he lighted another sparkler and dropped the burning match on the floor which ignited the "red thing" he had laid on the floor. Suddenly there went a great bang! and the little tots were badly burned. O my! screamed Willie suddenly awakening. What a bad dream. I thought sure I was burned by that big fire cracker. It was not the bang from the fire cracker but the slam of his bed room door which awakened him from his horrible dream. —Sister Susan. TITLES FOR CONTEST—READ!

(Sister Susan). P. S. Music—Mispolk Tolliver. We, the colored children of this city, have a better advantage to get an education than our ancestors. Do we appreciate it? No; because half of the children are stopping school to marry or to work, when there is really no necessity in their so doing. Imagine our ancestors slaving away every day at washing or cooking with an education! Would you do it with an education? No. With an education which would equal that received by many children of today they would not have been in the "white man's" home, but in some enterprise of their own. If the children of our generation would use it advantageously, they would be able to take the stand beside any white man; for a man can rob you of your money, attempt to rob you of your advantages, but no man can rob you of your mental capacity. We will not find a job but a position in which to spend our time the rest of our lives. Working for one of another race or jobbing for our own race? No. We will have a position (not a job) with one of our own race or have an office of our own. In fact there are numerous advantages of education. We can live, not under the rule of a white man but under the guidance of one of our race or be leading others by our tender care. Who is Sister Susan? (A Kwple) Miss Leonora E.

Sunday School The Beacon Bible Class was organized on Easter Sunday six years ago by the Rev. C. A. Williams, Pastor and B. W. Kennedy, Supt. This class has done much to develop the lives of the young women of which it is composed, along Biblical as well as secular lines. Aside from the Sunday morning sessions, the business meetings of the class are held monthly at different homes at which time, some of the most scholarly men and women of the race have brought inspiring messages. From time to time dramas and pageants have been written and staged by members of the class. Our most recent production, "Key 40 Paradise" was a great success. The class has done quite a deal of charity work, such as assisting the Tufsa riot victims, organizig sewing classes for the poor and distributing Xmas baskets to the unfortunate and sick. One of its main tasks is to follow up the boys who have been dismissed from the Bellefontaine Farm. Over five hundred dollars ($500) has been raised and the class still has a neat bank account. Victor Pierson is the efficient teacher of the class. At the recent election, Miss Arena Jackson was elected president and Therosa M. Smith, secretary.

Harrison, prominent undertaker of this city, filed suit against the latter for five hundred dollars damages for personal injuries. She alleged in her petition that in April 1921, she was kicked by the defendant from which serious permanent injuries developed. The suit was filed in Judge Crittenden E. Clark's Court. The case is said to be unique for the reason that seldom are the histori of St. Louis, have divorced persons reported to personal injury suits against each other. Mr. Harrison, who is a graduate undertaker and specializes in post mortem plastic surgery, after inguing the charges, claimed thru his attorneys, Frank S. Bledsoe and Edwin F. Kenswil, that the suit was frivolous; that it was not in good faith, and that it was a scheme to extort money from the defendant, who is said to have considerable property. Mrs. Harrison was represented by Attorney John A. Davis. The case was given a perimetry setting for June 24. After repeated calls of the docket the plaintiff and her attorney failed to appear. Judge Clark dismissed the suit and ordered fifteen dollars additional costs for expert witnesses, called by the defense, taxed against the plaintiff. The Harrisons were diverged during the early part of this year. DAVIS MAKES STATEMENT Atty: John A. Davis, when interviewed by a representative of The Argus, made the following statement: "Under the law, a married woman cannot recover damages from her husband for the husband's tort, no matter how serious. In the Harrison case, Mrs. Harrison alleged that she suffered severe painful injuries of a permanent nature caused by the cruelty of Mr. Harrison. The suit was filed for the purpose of matters the defendant to defray the expenses of an operation upon Mrs. Harrison, which was necessary before she could recover from the alleged injuries inflicted upon her by her former husband. "I shall seek to give the married women of this state greater freedom under the law, if I am elected to the Legislature in 1926, and married men will then have to be careful about inflicting corporal punishment upon their wives, because the wives will then, under the law, be able to recover damages from them in a civil诉讼."

Eugene McNelly, Mgr. —Adv STYLE SHOW AND DANCE The 1925 Coifure Style Show and Dance given under the auspices of the Beauty Culturists League at the West End Hotel last Thursday night was quite a nice affair. The program was opened with a few remarks by Mme. J. D. Dukes, the president of the League, who told of the objects and purposes of the League. Mr. George B. Jones assistant Circuit Attorney of this city, who is attorney for the League, spoke on the value of organization. He reviewed some of the features of the Hair Dressers bill recently passed by the State Legislature, and said that in the future, competition would be much greater than in the past. His remarks were helpful to all those who were present. J. E. Mitchell acted as Master of Ceremonies. Among other features of the evening was an exhibition dance and solo by little Miss Dorothy Polk, who appeared in a dainty silk-plaited dress with a bonnet to match. She pleased the audience very much with her artistic skill and the ease with which she performed. The promenade is the twenty mod- crashed around the bait room floor, attracted unusual interest from the audience, as they showed taste, styles of hairdressing including marceling and many other ideas of hairdressing executed by artists of the different systems anilated with the League. The models were beautifully gowned for the occasion and as they passed in review before the large audience, they were greeted with many rounds of applause. The models were as follows: Octavia System, 1 model, Miss Ladorise Pryor; Mme, J. D. Duke, 1 model, Miss Stella Harris; Mme, Bibbs, 1 model, Miss Meredith Bibbs; Mme, Vera Johnson, 1 model, Miss Carolina Hudson; Mme, Evelyn Horton, 3 models, Misses Edith Nichols, Ophelia Robinson and Ada White; Mme, Eva Jones, 3 models, Misses Nancy Gordon, Bessie Scott and Maudelle Tibbs; Mme, K. C. Eastman, 2 models, Misses Carroll and Helen Wagner; Mme, Bransford, 4 models, Misses Helen and Blanche Dean, Irene Hall and little Thelma Tillman. A large audience greeted the participants and seemed very much charmed with the models, each of whom performed her part well. After the program, the lovers of the Terpsichorean art were given free land, and the other feature of the show was indulged in until a late hour. Much credit is due Mure, Eustman, chairman, and her special assistants, Mesdames Branstford, Horton, Ambrose and Gamble for making this their first affair-a success. It is understood that this show will be an annual affair in the future. UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE Chile Enacts Social Hygiene Law By a single stroke of legislative action the Republic of Chile has recently joined the ranks of the nations giving special and continued attention to the control of venereal diseases. The law establishes the Division of Social Hygiene which naturally differs from the Division of Venereal Diseases of the United States Public Health Service by having police power for the enforcement of preventive measures. The Chilean Division of Social Hygiene has for its function the dissemination of information concerning venereal diseases, the creation of social hygiene professorships in colleges and universities, and the suggestion of types of elementary school instruction in social hygiene. The Division is further vested with the power to control and repress prostitution. Any womann prostitute declared to have a venereal disease is to be confined to a hospital during the period of contagion. Those refusing treatment are to be sent to a reformatory. Provision is also made for injunction and abatement measures making it possible to close up as a nuisance any building which the owner permits to be used for purposes of prostitution. Advertisements relating to patent medicines for the cure of venereal diseases are not to be accepted for publication in newspapers and magazines, unless enclosed by the Division of Social Hygiene. A medical certificate of good health is required from both men and women before marriage. Get your dinner, 4400 Lukey St. Sunday. Adv. DROWNS UNNOTICED MIDST SCORES OF SWIMMERS LOUISVILLE. Ky. July 1. On investigating the lockers at the community swimming pool at 17th and Magazine streets after closing time on the night of its opening last week, life shards discovered that one locker contained clothing. They immediately began a search for the owner, and after diving into the deepest part of the pool found the body of Charles Horse, 28 of 1712 W. Walnut St. a member of the city fire department. All efforts to revive the victim were futile. He had apparently drowned while this pool was full of swimmers, unknown to any of them.

Wilts a colored man who came to this city from the south pennille twenty years ago last week opened a $50,000 undertaking establishment. Wilts was a waiter, a street car motorman and an insurance agent before beginning his successful business career. Starting with scarcely any capital, Wilts not what he considered a big need of the city by establishing an undertaking business. The venture was a success. The Wilts undertaking establishments expanded. A magnificent building was erected for the concern, but business outgrew its accommodations. It was then that Wilts decided to embark in one of the biggest investments ever attempted in Cleveland by a race man. He purchased a stately structure at 2140 E. 55th street and equipped it elaborately and completely at a cost of $50,000. Today, this one time poor Negro is the owner of one of the finest undertaking businesses in the country.

Other big features for the week will be William Fairbanks in "The Fearless Lover," on Tuesday; Pete Morrison and his horse, "Lightning," in "Santa Fe Pete" on Thursday; and Patsy Ruth Miller in "The Girl on the Stairs," next Friday: THE LINCOLN The Lincoln Theatre special this Saturday, "Declasse," is an adaptation from Ethel Barrymore's stage success of the same title.

Dorothy Mackail has the name role in "Chickle" adapted from the sensational newspaper serial by Elenore Meherin.

Cured, he returns to the home he has not seen for elgt years—to find it on the verge of ruin through a new spirit of pleasure chasing. Into this home, her identity unknown, encodes the former wife, and here the problem of the woman who has waited and the woman who gave him up for love is solved.

The story is laid in New York City and tells of a young bank cashier, who steals to make his wife happy by keeping her in pretty clothes. Johnny Hines in "The Speed Spook" will be the Sunday special. It's a thrill picture. Aside from the many thrills obtained from the championship auto race which was filmed at the Altoona Speedway, the speed spook car, which races roughshod without a driver through the village of Westwood and causes consternation among the townsfolk is enough to cause any number of thrills, to run down the proverbial spine.

Dr. Joseph Garland, Associate editor of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, in a recent issue of his publication, praises the work of the Tuskegee Hospital under Dr. Ward, and commends this idea in the following paragraph: "Three years ago the United States Veterans' Bureau constructed within two miles of Tuskegee Institute, a six-hundred bed hospital, first-class in every detail, and the only Veterans' Hospital of our half million Negro veterans. There is not a white man connected with this hospital, and unthe administration of Lieut. Colonel Joseph H. Ward, it is one of the finest and best conducted hospitals in the service. It has, moreover, recently become a general hospital for the study and treatment of all disease conditions arising among these veterans. The two hospitals at Tuskegee now probably comprise the most fertile field for clinical material that the race possesses, situated as they are in the center of the Southern Black Belt, with seven million Negroes within a radius of seven hundred miles. Tuskegee is the logical site for a new school of medicine in a real medical center." Plans are now under way to work out a suitable method of offering the services of this splendidly equipped government hospital for the further training of Negro doctors.

JOHNSON CAUSING QUITE A STIR AWARDING OF SPINGARN MEDAL TO J. W. JOHNSON CAUSING QUITE A STIR By the Associated Negro Press BY the Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, July 1—The awarding of the annual Spingarn medal to the American of African descent who has performed the most distinguished service within the year has created unusual stir this year. The committee, presumably disinterested, made the award to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. Editorial comment from many sections of America, has taken the viewpoint that such an award is not in keeping with the "spirit of fall play." The recipient of the award, Mr. Johnson, passed through Chicago, on his way to Denver, Colorado, for the annual conference of the Association. When seen by a representative of the Associated Negro Press, he declared with his quiet demeanor, that he has absolutely nothing to say on the subject of the controversy that has arisen since the award. The Amsterdam News (N. Y.) has taken a decided lead in presenting an unfavorable attitude, and says: "We resent its being awarded to officers to whom its awarding is directly or indirectly intrusted no matter how great their achievement." The attitude of this expression was taken up by Herbert J. Selligman, Director of Publicity for the N. A. A. C., presumably after conference with Mr. Johnson. He says in part: "Does the Editor of the Amsterdam News propose to debark the distinguished service from this acknowledgment because the men who have rendered such service are connected with the N. A. A. C. P." "Will you for one moment maintain that a man whose significance in letters is acknowledged the world over, as is that of Dr. Du Bois, should not have been awarded the medal?" "In that case the Editor of the Amsterdam News would be advocating just such personal considerations as he wrongfully charges the Committee with harboring. The committee on the award of the Spingarn Medal can hardly be called upon with fairness to ignore the fact that outstanding and distinguished colored Americans are connected with the N. A. A. C. P." To which W. M. Kelley, editor, replies in part, over his signature; "I am firmly convinced that the Committee of Award should bend every effort to convince the public that it is actuated by the highest of motives, which, was to my mind not done, when it awarded the Spingarn Medal to Mr. Johnson and Dr. Du Bois." The Atlanta (Ga.) Independent, B. J. Davis, editor, says: "We have no quarrel with Mr. Spingarn for giving away medals, but we do believe that if he ascended in a balloon over the middle of America, and chucked out a bushel of them promiscuously, many of them would fall into the hands equally as worthy as many of them whom the committee has chosen." While the Washington (D. C.) Eagle goes on to remark: "This thing gets on the nerves. One minute we have in our faces a picture of Roland Hayes getting the blooming award, and the next it goes to James-Welldon Johnson. And then we recollect that this thing has gone ever and ever and ever so often to somebody way up in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." There have even been suggestions to the effect that Mr. Johnson would make himself in line for a greater medal if he would "decline with thanks," the award for service, and tell the people of the world that he is "working for humanity and not for material honors." There are those who feel that much of the criticism is for the purpose of snapping the association through Mr. Johnson." In any event, this award has created a most unusual stir, some going so far as to say that the organization work will be greatly handicapped. The Amsterdam News suggests eligibles for the medal as follows: "For instance, Paul Robeson, Dr. Dan Williams, of Chicago; H. G. Tanner, the artist; Rev. A. Clayton Powell; Judge Albert George of Chicago; Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Emmett J. Scott, R. R. Moton." "Heeble Jeebles," Chicago, suggested Robert S. Abbott. 120 GET DIPLOMAS AT KENTUCKY NORMAL By the Associated Negro Press.

LINCOLN LEGION TO MEET IN CHICAGO By the Associated Negro Press DES MOINES, Ia., July 1—Charles P. Howard, Adjutant of the Lincoln Legion, announced today that the Lincoln Legion will hold its national meeting in Chicago, August 10 and 11. The Lincoln Legion is composed of ex-service men all over the country and the plan of the national meeting is to initiate a drive for a hundred per cent, membership of all colored men who served with the United States forces at home and in France. The Legion is headed by Capt. Geo. Lee, of Memphis, Tennessee. Mr. Howard, who served as an officer in the United States Army during the world war, declares that "Bullard's nefarious articles that have been published throughout the country, should show colored soldiers the necessity of joining their forces into a single unit to fight such propaganda and to promote the good of the ex-service men."

Bowling Who Had Served On Board For Ten Years CHICAGO, Ill., July 1.—Many civil organizations and the entire Ministers' Alliance of the city are making efforts to restore Rev. A. J. Bowling, assistant pastor of the Metropolitan Community Center Church, to this position on the Chicago Censor Board from which he was dismissed last week. The alleged presence of prejudice in the action of the Investigation Department in dropping Rev. Bowling, one of the most competent members of the board, has created added impetus among the opposition. Was Lone Colored Censor Censor Bowling's ousting is said to have come after many efforts by members of the Board on which he had served 10 years. Charges were brought against Rev. Bowling as the result of his resentment of abusive and unbecoming language addressed to him by two white employees, Rev. G. Harris, a permit clerk and Albert S. Waller, an operator, which ended in his striking one of his offenders. Rev. Bowling, beside being accused of the cause of this disorder was declared to have entered the censor de- partment without passing a civil service examination. Investigations of his record however, proved this untrue. In spite of conflicting testimony the colored censor was dis- missed after investigations lasting two weeks. Rev. Bowling was well qualified for his education. He received his education at Kansas State Normal and Albion College; the University of Michigan, Northwestern, Ohio State, Boston, Chicago and Harvard Universities. He specialized in education, sociology, philosophy and religion. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; the National Geographic Society, and a member of the Royal Society Clubs of London, England. During his graduate work at different universities, he has published six bulletins on education. His work has been accredited by many of the principal dailies of the country and outstanding national characters. Fought For Negroes During his work as censor, Rev. Bowling was an unintering and unrelevant fighter for the protection of his race men. He fought against the showing of "The Birth of a Nation," condemned the use of such terms as "Nigor," "Turk," "Coon," "Mick ete," in pictures; he often caused cuts in pictures where an incident slurring the Negro was betrayed even after the Board of Censors had passed on it. DETROIT MOB DRIVES PHYSICIAN FROM HIS NEWLY PURCHASED HOME DETROIT MOB DRIVES PHYSICIAN FROM HIS NEWLY PURCHASED HOME DETROIT, Mich., July 1—An uprising of several thousand angry whites occurred here last Tuesday when Dr. Alex L. Turner, a prominent, colored physician, moved into a newly purchased $20,000 mansion in the exclusive Spokane avenue district, with his family. The mob damaged the Negro's home considerably, and finally caused them to leave in spite of the interference of police. Dr. Turner, a native of Ohio, and a graduate of the University of Michigan Medical School, who has been one of Detroit's most successful Negro doctors, had resided at 4310 Waring avenue, for a number of years but these quarters became too small for him and his family.

This was a signal for the uprising of the white neighborhood, for within a few hours the house was surrounded by crowds of white against whose assault a squad of policemen called to protect the house and its dwellers were powerless. The doctor and his family were finally escorted to safety by police thru the leers of the mob. Dr. Turner conferred with his attorney following the attack on his home and expressed his intentions to take every step to retain his right to the property. YOUTHS FACE PRISON FOR ASSAULTING GIRL JNDIANAPOLIS, Ind..

The youths accosted the girl white she was on her way home from a show, and dragged her into a dark alley. Her screams for help brought aid causing her assailants to flee. They were captured by the police, a short time later on description furnished by the girl. Police Court Judge White found the pair guilty of assault and turned them over to the grand jury. Jessie lives with her father at her home address. Superstition is another of those things we don't explain but just have. Happily.

American Legion Call For Nation-Wide Organization Preston News Service Preston News Service — HES - MOINES, Iowa, July 1 — On Nov. 10th 1918, the Armistice which was to mark the close of the Great War was signed. The order to "Cease Firing" and "Stand Fast" was the signal for great rejoicing among those thousands of soldiers who kept the vigil on that far flung front from the Channel to the Alps. Enemy and ally alike, weary from the terrible ordeal through which they had lived for many months of fighting, began to turn their thoughts towards home and to plan for a new future under the beneficent auspices of Peace. Among the thousands of soldiers in that far dung line and in the ports of Europe and in the trifling camps of America were nearly half million colored Americans who were called to the service of their country. In France Negro soldiers were nearest to the Rhine, and a Negro Division was leading the attack on the formidable fortress of Metz. In the support of France and England other Negro soldiers were establishing records in unloading ships and without complaint were toiling night and day in order to provide sustenance and the sinews of war for those at the front. In America still others were feverishly training in order to take their places on the battle line in Europe. In that half-million of colored American soldiers were the chosen of the Negro race. Never before in the history of Amerien had there been collected in a single group the very flower of Negro manhood. Graduates of the very-fineest Universities and colleges, men of affairs, skilled artisans, trained musicians, successful surgeons and dentists linked together by common suffering and by a common cause. Enlisted man and officer, illiterate and university trained, together were victims of blinding race hate and unceasing race prejudice—Together they were forced to submit to the most atrocious and wretched treatment over recorded, a nation's soldiery. Negro officers were insulted and coveted. Negro soldiers were beheaded and dec liberately retarded. Every form of humiliation that vicious Race hating minds could devise was hooped upon them. Every form of ostracism which the southern oligarchy through a favorable administration, could enact, was leveled at them. And then to add to all of that, seven years after, Bullard, a former corps Commander, a retired General in the United States Army, one of those who was responsible for the unheard of treatment of a nation's soldiers, rises up and denounces and mocks the record of these soldiers upon whose backs he climbed to glory. The end is not yet. Unless imme- At Abernathy' At Abernathy's Country Club LET YOUR WIFE HAVE SOME EASE, TAKE HIE FOR A RIDE IN THE BREZE; FOR ABERNATHY'S CHICKEN DINNERS, ARE SURE TO PLEASE.

The time has come for action. The time has come for the Negro soldier to make a stand for himself and for his Race on a new front. This front is America and the G. R. Q. is Chicago.

Smaller Car Will Be Featured In Gold And Glory Race At Indianapolis Preston News Service INDIANAPOLIS, IN. July 1.—The smaller cars will have the call when the speed merchants of the race line up for the starter's flag on the State Fairgrounds, 8th in the running of the second annual renewal of the Governor's Glory Sweepstakes, America's premier dirt truck Championship auto class in which all members are members of this group. A announcement was made Monday by the directors of the Indianapolis Colored Speedway that only cars up to and including 183 cubic inches piston displacement will be allowed to qualify for the race. From the record performance of the baby motors in the 500 mile event Decoration Day, it is now freely predicted that Malcolm Mannon's last year's record of 63 miles an hour is due to go by the boards. There should be speed enough on the day of days to satisfy the cravings of the most rabid fan. Is National Race Event The Gold and Glory Sweepstakes is now a recognized national auto racing event. It was instituted last year by Messrs. Earl, Shillings, Bucker and Dunnington, nationally known sportsmen, in an effort to give the young men of the group the opportunity to build and race cars of their own, since our boys are practically barred from all the big speed events throughout the country. Their success in giving the boys their one big chance is attested by the fact that almost any overnight such names as Buckner, Buckner, Simmons, Carter, Jeffries and Wallace were flashed into Speedway records. The winner's time, Hannon's, was the fastest, turned in on a dirt track. Another feature was the fact that during the running of the race not a single spectator in the huge crowd was injured nor did a fatality among the fifteen competing speed demons. The biggest feature of the event was the fact that sport fans the country over were quick to recognize the importance of the races as a splendid outdoor entertainment, 300 persons from all parts of the country joined with 9000 local and State auto fans in making up a crowd, the largest mixed affair ever witnessed in Indianapolis. Anticipating the large number of out of town people who plan to make a holiday of Saturday, August 5th, to witness the running of the race this year the directors have placed reservation seats on sale at the headquarters, 1013 W. Michigan Street,. Requests for seats by mail will be handled, handled. Notice here Car Owl Entry blanks to the Big Gold and Glory Classic are now ready for mail- ing.

Black Bill, the little fly and ban-tamweight champion from Cuba who has won five straight fights since entering U.S., joined with Corporal Schwartz, clever white boxer, who holds the scalps of numerous well known fistic gentlemen in his belt, at the Commonwealth Sport Club, in New York last Saturday. The Little Cuban was forced to go his best all of the twelve round route, but his skill enabled him to outbox his opponent. On the same card Al Brown the colored flyweight champion of America Johnny Breslin, pride of the west side. Brown took the earlier rounds of the match in whirlwind fashion, but slowed down somewhat towards the late rounds. He was at no time in danger, however, and easily won the referee's decision. Both Al Brown and Black Bill are now in line for a crack at Pancho Villa for the flyweight crown of the world. DeHart Hubbard is keeping in form since he [finished college by practicing in every worthwhile meet that he has the opportunity to. to.

BY ERNEST RICE MCKINNEY Preston News Service There is a movement afoot to organize a Jim Crow American Legion. They call it the "Lincoln Legion." It is to be a national organization: That is if they can find enough Negroes foolish enough to put up the necessary kale to become members. The advancement councercer must be untainted to be taken by former Race soldiers, the record which they made on the fields of France will be stained and splotted by the foul aspersions of those who would rather have lost the战, than treated the Negro soldier as a man, and who would rather have died and gone to Hell, than see a Negro soldier friendly with a French woman." The organizers of the Legion have called a meeting in Chicago. There the Negro veteran will be spared on the dress for all the wrongs suffered by himself and other Negroes and take up a position of eternal vigilance in the front line trenches. I don't know what, is in the mind of the promoters of this movement, but I can see no justification for its existence. There are already two national exservice men's organizations whose membership is open to Negro veterans. Why should there be any attempt to separate Negro veterans from their white comrades? Our fight all along has been against just this very thing. We fought this issue out in war. We fought when we were southern soldiers were refusing chatter to Negro posts. We wore that fight and our comrades, in the South, had only to carry on and keep the fight won. It has always been a mystery to me why certain Negroes are ever ready to jim-crow themselves, to separate themselves and the west of us from great national organizations. They go cold on a great country-wide movement and then grow hot—for a time—in a piny attempt to put over some babbling little society, that has no chance of success, no reason for existence, no real program and no leadership that can accomplish anything worth while for any of us, who were in the late war. The place for the Negro veteran is in the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He should go into the white war where sentiment fawns. In other sections he should from his own opus and become a part of the state organization. If he fights in these organizations he will accomplish far more than in some weak distinctly Negro society that has no funds influence or prestige. There are efficient and strong organizations in this country, that are forever fighting for the constitutional rights of the Negro. United support of these will do far more than the scattering of our support to a multiplicity of spongible over night, eleventh hour organizations that will only last for a day. We have too many organizations president, commanders, chancellors, high priests, big I've, l'captains, etc. What we need now is more intelligent private, more of us who are willing to follow. We've had enough of "race leaders and race savers."

THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO VISITS LODGES OF STATE M. B. AARON W. LLOYD Grand Chancellor K. of P.'s Of Missouri, who has just returned from an extensive trip throughout the State. A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor Knights of Pythias of the state, has just returned from an extended trip through the state looking after the interest of the organization. The State Grand Lodge will meet this year at Kansas City on the fourth Tuesday in July, which is July 28. The session usually lasts three days. Mr. Lloyd states that he has found the order in fine shape throughout the State of Missouri, and he predicts that a very large delegation will attend the Grand-Lodge session at Kansas City in July. In a proclamation issued by the Grand Chancellor, an invitation is extended to all Knights in good standing to visit the sessions. Rates have been secured in the certificate plan, which enables certificate holders to return for one-half fare contingent upon the number of certificate holders present. The local committee at Kansas City is preparing for a large attendance at this session. Nat'l Alliance Of Postal Employees Bi-ennial Convention At Capital July 7 By the Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C.—The local branch of the National Alliance of Postal Employees are in the midst of strenuous preparations looking forward to the entertainment of their national body which holds its biennial convention in this city July 7 to 11 inclusive and delegates and visitors will be in attendance from all sections of the country. The opening meeting, to which the public is cordially invited, will be held in the auditorium of the Dunbar High School, Tuesday evening, July 7th, at 8:00 o'clock, and numbered among the speakers of the evening will be the postmaster general, the second assistant postmaster general, the general superintendent, railway mail service, the district commissioners, local officials of the post office department, and distinguished citizens and visitors. The business sessions will be held at the Cleveland School. The National Alliance is an organization made up of the employees of our group in all branches of the postal service, born of discriminations practiced against them by the other service organizations in restricting their membership to those of the Caucasian race after these, men helped to make them numerically and financially strong, and has branches in nearly every city and state where there is a large number of Negro postal employees. Because of the high mental tests and impeccable character, the requisites of the civil service commission for entrance into this service, this organization numbers among its membership some of the brightest minds of the country and their sessions will be very interesting to the general public who may learn of some of the problems the men who handle the mails of our country must help to solve to give them efficient service. S. M. Jackson, L. E. Atkinson, Gar- neld Chapman, A. E. Bryant, Jr. Theo. B. Gordon, A. R. Ore, G. A. Pinn R. A. Lee, and R. E. Williams, are the committee in charge of the arrangements.

His father was a carpenter of somewhat shiftless ways, but his mother was a woman of strong, fine character, and died when he was 9 years of age, leaving a desolate family. When he was 19 years old he began to work for himself, trading up and down the Mississippi river in a flat-boat, and went bankrupt. He began to study law after a few years, was admitted to the bar, and began to practice, later running for the legislature in Illinois, but was badly swamped. He next entered business, failed and spent seventeen years of his life paying up debts of a worthless partner. He was in love with a beautiful woman to whom he was engaged, then she died. Entering politics again, he ran for Congress and was badly defeated. He tried to get an appoint- NEW PHONE NUMBER Of The St. Louis Argus CENTRAL 4620 Address 2312-14 Market St. LET THE ARGUS BE YOUR SHOPPING GUIDE.

CHINA SHOWS TEETH TO FOREIGNERS By the Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK CITY, July 1—The Chinese are reentering in no uncertain terms the treatment accorded them which is to a large degree similar to that meted out to Negroes in this country and especially in the south by white invaders. Americans and Europeans, according to an American newspaperman who has recently returned to America, have entered China and have subjected the natives to inhuman treatment and frequently boot them off the streets; city parks have been established in which Chinese are denied admission, clubs have been formed in which Chinese are denied membership, and it is no rare sight to see a white man soundly thrashing a Chinaman as if he were a horse or a dog. The Chinese, according to this writer, are now showing their disapproval of this treatment and segregation. I RWO greater force is working Bloody Days By Captain Daniel Smith For the Associated Negro Press Captain Smith is writing a series of articles for Heeble Jebies refuting the infamous charges made by General Bullard disparaging the vali or of the colored soldiers in the Great World War. Captain Smith is compiling these facts from his war diary which is very complete.—This is the second of the series. Last Week's article left us on the defensive position Rheulequard and Gina-Goush, which was a small ridge of mountains in the center of the Ceiles mains. "Lieutenant McAden, commander Gina-Goush, a support station received orders to take patrol and gain information as to the location and operation of the enemy. The patrol had neither maps nor wire outposts and faced much difficulty as the trenches ran in many various directions. Patrol returned reporting a hot encounter with a German patrol in which one was wounded, one killed, and one missing. The enemy patrol according to the report suffered the loss of eight men. "Patrol was ordered to go back out and accomplish the mission and Lieut. was rebuked by battalion commander. To strengthen patrol 1 detached two squads from platoon and sent them with Leit, McAden." My readers, I am sure, can realize the difficulty of the mission which the officer and his men had to accomplish with no maps, no wire cutters, and no knowledge of the enemy's whereabouts. "Patrol failed to accomplish mission and officer is further rebuked. September 10. "My birthday, 43 years old. Had a warm reception from the enemy. Heavy bombardment of Celles plains began at 6:30 a. m. and lasted until 12:30 p. m. We held what we had and all went well." "Ordered men to be prepared to meet and repulse any attack of the enemy. "Received information from battalion commander that he had asked for a counter barrage. Quite a peculiar request since we were occupying a defensive sector. "10 p. m. We got what we request, and we were played between two fires." "Sent up flares indicating that shells were falling on American troops, 11:30 p. m. bombardment ceased." Few things indicate more clearly the efficiency of our, battalion commander than the request for a barrage on the defensive without-giving the correct direction and location of his own troops.

This* CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 State Of West Virginia Negro Welfare Bureau CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 1.—The biennial report of the Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics made public today by Director T. Edward Hill contains much valuable information regarding the activities of Negroes in West Virginia. In the introductory statement, the director states that the bureau has endeavored to improve the condition of The Negro race in West Virginia morally, industrially, economically and educationally and to make it more healthy. It has found for Negroes more and better jobs, caused them to buy more homes and farms, urged them to be thrifty, to live well, where more strictly to sanitary requirements, to engage in business of a higher order than "hush houses," sanitary barber shop and pool rooms of the vicious kind. It has discouraged lawlessness, illness and extravagance. It has improved interracial relations by working out adjustments of difficulties between members of the white, and Negro races which might have caused trouble or ill will between the races in the communities affected. It has answered in newspapers and periodicals published in more than 30 states, cities and towns, attacks made by outsiders upon the good name of West Virginia A TRADE MAKER PAGES 9 TO 14 and it has aided in adjusting difficulties which have arisen between employers and their Negro employees. The director, his assistant and volunteer workers have delivered speeches, conducted investigations, made surveys and adjustments in 47 of the counties of the State and they have had the hearty co-operation of churches, state, county and city officials, newspapers, hends of industries, luncheon clubs, welfare organizations, climbers of commerce, fraternities, preachers, teachers, lawyers, doctors and private citizens of many races in several walks of life. Similar Agencies The report refers to agencies in other states performing functions somewhat similar to those of the Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics such as the Commissions on Interracial Relations in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas and Oklahoma, supported by church boards, philanthropists and community chests; the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission; the Pennsylvania Welfare Commission and the Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics of the State of, Michigan, all of which are supported by the States with offices in the capitals. The Michigan work was both made and named after the West Virginia bureau. Negro Population Increases The report shows that the Negro population in West Virginia is steadily increasing, particularly in the Northern end of the state where here toforge there has only been a small Negro population. This increase is especially noticeable in Ohio, Brooke, Hancock and Monongalia counties where approximately 4,000 Negroes have located during the past two years. According to the U. S. Census of 1820, there were 86,345 Negroes in West Virginia. The Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics places the number of migrants who have come here since that time at between 5,000 and 6,000. A remarkable feature of the Negro population of West Virginia is that the natives number only 33,347 or 38.6 per cent of the total Negro population and that Virginia runs the natives a close second, having contributed 29,315 of her Negro sons and daughters to swell the population of the last state carved out of her territory. All of the States of the Union except New Hampshire and Nevada have furnished Negroes to West Virginia and West Virginia Negroes have gone into every state in the United States. While 11,770 Negroes born in this state are seeking their fortunes in all other states, 52,226 of their brothers and sisters had heeded the call of opportunity and are enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the "Little Mountain State." The report deals with the marital conditions of the Negro and devotes considerable space to problems of health. Industrial Relations The Negroes of West Virginia remain the bulwark of the coal industry and are steadily gaining a foothold in other industries. They have demonstrated their ability to live and work side by side in peace and harmony with their fellow white workers and have proven their worth as workers, according to the section of the report dealing with industrial relations. Efforts to get Negroes employed in industries in which they have not heretofore been employed are-recounted and the value placed upon them by employees is referred to. A speech delivered by Director Hill to the West Virginia State Federation of Labor is quoted. In this speech, Director Hill called the attention of the labor leaders to discrimination practiced by labor unions against Negro working men and plead for a better understanding between the billers of all races. The occupational table shows that 22,421 male Negroes are employed in mining; 4,932 in the manufacturing and mechanical industries; 3,182 in transportation; 1,652 in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry; 2,834 in domestic and personal service; 164 in public service; 536 in professional service and 120 in clerical occupations It is of interest to note that 82.8 per cent of the Negro males of the state over 10 years of age and are gainfully employed. The percentage for the United States is 81.1 per cent. Of all of the racial groups in the state, the male Negro is only outranked as a worker by foreign-born Whites. 83.4 per cent of whom are gainfully employed. While a high percentage of male Negroes are gainfully employed, it shows well for him that such a low percentage of his women are compelled to work. There are 5,11 Negro women engaged in domestic and personal service and the next largest group is professional service in which 446 colored women are engaged. 240 are employed in the manufacturing and mechanical industries. No other classification of industries employs 100 colored women. The percentage of female Negroes gainfully employed in West Virginia is 19.8 per cent, the lowest of any state in the United States having 10,000 or more Negroes and only about one-half the percentage for the United States. While the percentage of female Negroes in West Virginia gainfully employed is lower than for any other state it is the highest of any other racial group of women in this state, the lowest being foreign-born white females with a percentage of PAGE TEN FOR LOWEST PRICES IN Staple and Fancy Groceries 1700 GOODE AVENUE LET GOOD LUCK BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

GOLDEN TEXT—And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.—Mark 16:15. PRIMARY TOPIC—Two Men Become Foreign Missionaries. JUNIOR TOPIC—How Foreign Mission Began. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Beginning of Foreign Mission. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Holy Spirit in Foreign Mission. I. The Gifts of the Church at Antioch (v. 1). Young as Antioch, the new religious center was, she had prophets and teachers. In Eph. 4:34:24 Paul declares that when Christ ascended He gave gifts to men for the purpose of perfecting the saints unto the work of the ministry. This shows that the church does not exist for itself, but for service to others. Christ, the head of the church, came not to be ministered to, but to minister and give His life a ransom for many (Matt. 20:28). II. Barnabas and Saul Sent Forth (yy.23). These were the first foreign missionaries sent out. While the five ministers were praying and fasting, the Spirit of God commanded them to send forth Barnabas and Saul. The work of evangelizing the world was held so heavily upon these men that they refrained from eating in order to seek the will of the Lord in prayer. This is the kind of fasting that meets God's approval. From the fact that they were directed to send forth those whom the Spirit called, we learn that the real call to Christ's service come from the Spirit. The Spirit called and the church seconded the motion by sending those who were called by Him. The church should be constantly seeking the mind of the Spirit relative to the sending forth of laborers into the vineyard. The Spirit called and the church sent the very best men from the church at Antioch. These men seem to have been ready to go for they rendered instant obedience. This should be our attitude toward the Lord's work, holding ourselves in readiness for the immediate execution of His commission. Those who have received the Spirit's egal are not taken by surprise when the church sets them forward to their specific work. III. Preaching the Word of God in Cyprus (vy. 4-5). We are not told as to why they first went to Cyprus, but we are left to infer that it was owing to the fact that it was the home of Burnabus. He was acquainted with the country and people, and could thus be assured of a respectable hearing among them. Besides it is most natural that those who have heard the good news to go with it first to their kindred and friends. Andrew first went to his brother, and the man out of whom the demons were cast was deceived the pleasure of his request to follow Jesus. Christ commanded him to go home and tell what great things the Lord had done for him (Luke 5:29). As they went forth they carefully carried out their commission for they preached the Word of God, not current history, philosophy, ethtics, etc. Those who are faithful to God will never preach anything but His Word. The great need today is Spirit-called, Spirit-filled men preaching God's Word. In fact Spirit-filled men will preach nothing else. The opposer of God, and Christ can only be successfully met by this means. IV. Withstood by Elymas, the Sorcerer (vv. 6-12). Sergius Paulus, the deputy, invited Hannabus and Saul to tell him of the Word of God. Elymas maliciously sought to turn his mind from the faith. This is the first obstacle they encountered, but it was overcome through the power of the Spirit. This opposer is the same one who came to Adam in the garden of Eden and Jesus in the wilderness. He is the enemy of God and man. He now sought to hear the gospel as it entered upon its career of the conversion of the meathen. Paul denounced him in the most scathing terms. He called him the child of the devil, denounced him as full of guile and villainy, pronouncing him the enemy of all righteousness, accusing him of perverting the right ways of the Lord. Surely a man is never more of a villain than when trying to turn a soul from the gospel. Our Life We are living now by justice, honor and mercy, by the moral mastery of ourselves and of our time; and this life while in time is not of time; it is life in God and for God; it is the life of freedom; it is free from anxiety, fear, doubt, despair, death; it is content with God and with its fate in God. - George A. Gordon. Sunday must continue Sunday.— Strauss. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1925 Holds Divine Spiritual Services every Sunday morrungl 11 o'clock with sermon and divine revelations.

United States last year, the smallest number recorded since the gathering of annual statistics on the crime was begun 40 years ago, it was shown in a report made public Thursday by the commission on race relations of the Federal Council of Churches. The report, prepared by Prof. M. W. Work, of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, showed that 12 of the victims were Negroes and four whites. In the 10-year period ending with last year, 137 lynchings were recorded as compared with 701 for the preceding 10 years, carrying forward the decrease in the crime which has progressed steadily through every decade since 1885. For the first-time in the 40-years period the figures of last year, showed a greater ratio of decrease in the number of Negro lynchings than in white lynchings. Last year's total compares with an average for the 40 years of 106 lynchings a year, with the total for the period shown to be 4,203. Negro victims numbered 3,165 and white 1,038. The commission stated that it was working with other organizations in a campaign to make 1928 a lynchless year.

"The personal security of every citizen and the supremacy of law are at stake in this matter," says Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the commission which is campaigning against lynching. "The figures show that America can become a lynchless land. Determined action will make this the last year of shame to our conscience and menace to our life."

C. are probably facing life imprisonment because the car in which they were said to be fleeing from the police, killed a lovable woman, whose life as a nun had been devoted to Christian service for mankind. These alleged violators of the Eighteenth Amendment were plying their trade because it is a profitable one. It is profitable because the whiskey taste is still very keen in the mouths of many of America's citizens, who do not believe in the sacredness of the Eighteenth Amendment any more than do many of America's Bills. But the laws are a gradual of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to say nothing of the "due process of law" clause with which the Constitution fairly rings. The alleged bootleggers were fleeing from the law because the law is vigorously enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment, at every opportunity, while the same law winks and blinks at enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The law winks and blinks at the enforcement of those portions of itself which, in words purports to give full rights and protection to the Negro people, because a certain large proportion of America's population blinks that those portions of the law are too fatuous to be perceived, but too degrading to merit national respect. The 18th Amendment, though, in their opinion, is for everybody, save those "higher ups" who are able to influence certain weak colored people to ply the trade of bootlegging. These causes and effects show the gigantic inconsistency of a large sector of America's public opinion, which it must be admitted, is the proximate cause of the vigorous enforcement of the American laws against non-enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth in sections where state laws pervert Congressional intention. When shall America awaken from such a grave inconsistency? When will American people say, as said John Phillip Hill, Maryland Congressman: "I believe in enforcing all the nations that then, what most nations of the world have, increments of our country who blow hot and cold with the same breath? Until then, sad but not strange, death and misery will follow in the wake of the law, which cannot so divide its work, the mandate of the people, and expect success. The same public opinion that proclaims a hero will, in ten seconds, direct a mob; and, as the Good Book says, a man cannot serve two masters. Neither can the law, when those two masters have twin souls, the same name, but for different purposes. Illustrious Men—Dr. Emmett Scott—To resurrect a honely pun of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, regarding the elderly colored woman, for whom one early morning the question was asked: "Where are you going?" and to which the terse reply was Honestly I'm coming from where I knew you were the colorful career of that human dumbo, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, formerly Secretary to the founder of Tuskegee Institute, the Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, now Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University; for without detracting from the energy, judgment, and aggressiveness of any of the race's national statesmen of today, in national matters of grave concern, where the quick and sharpship need to beat with precision the enemy, Emmett is usually coming from where the others are going; and nine times out of ten the bacon is safely tucked under his arm. Dr. Scott's rebuttal of General Bulldard's estimate of the Negro soldier is merely one of the series of defenses which the knowledge, persuasiveness and reasoning power of Emmett's mind have set up in behalf of America's struggling black folks. As Secretary at Tuskegee, as Special Assistant to Secretary of War Baker and as an official at Howard University, Dr. Scott has ever been awake to the grueling needs of his people, and if there has ever been a time when, necessary or unanticipated, the task became his to move forward upon the firing line of equitable armor and he retreated, we have no record of Such tasks he has always considered to be privileges and, with unselfish designs, has given冠 of his best in the time of need. Were such unselfish public service accompanied by brass hand concerts and rewritten into the book of Proverbs in Gothic type, it would have been more like others among us who in the background of their minds have thought more of "ME" and less of "YOU." However, with Emmett, modesty and quietude have been the attributes first sought by him, and personal splendor has ever been subservient to results. Honest, fearless, mental giant among those with whom he has felt kind, sympathetic, and thoroughly fulful of the rights of others, a valiant and honorable fighter, whether on the offensive or the defensive. Dr. Emmett J. Scott is one of the Race's most valuable assets—a man among men, a gentman among all people. Camp Meetin' Time— The good old summer time has come and with it the time when the faithful members and friends of the Elks, the Eagles, the Masons, the Knights, and every fraternal sect, from the Synchronized Order of Elijah to the Grand Dukes of St. Joseph, will look some station agent right square in the eye and exchange some coin for a railroad ticket to somewhere. People are the greatest conventioneers, whole world, and the 1925 railroad and automobile caravans to solemn sessions bid fair to make the past years like mere pilgrimages to the front yard, and back. We have no desire to throw cold water upon the aspirations of our Shelma' Haley Eileen Miller Dovothy Rigby Catherine Alexander Lorraine Crocker Eleanor Kirk Margaret Harrington Lois Staynn Woodard Photos One of the interesting events in Chicago last week was the matinee rehearsal held on Sunday afternoon at the Avenue Theatre by the Willia Pearlselle McAllister School of Dance people to get together and exchange ideas for the greater emancipation of America's dark tent. Yet, we honestly wonder if it would be more beneficial to divert some of the shekels that go for railroad coal and automobile gasoline to race investments or to the founding of Negro business enterprises. We overheard one couple say they had saved up 300 rockets to launch into the sky 200 miles away' while another brother was working three shifts a day to get the first payment on his Caddifill so he could 'motor' to the convention. These two illustrations—and they probably have a thousand likenesses—involved enough dough to start a small laundry or pay a year's premium on about 250 modest insurance policies of some race company employing Negro clerks and agents. In other words, we subscribe to the belief of an ardent Negro business man who holds that a solid economic wealth must be built up among the brethren to strengthen the lever by which they are trying to open wider the door of Opportunity in this country. Nor, said he, can that economic wealth be confined to church property and fraternity treasuries. It must be distributed into the coffers of Negro business enterprises, investments, home ownership and education. We quite agree with the gentlemen; and though we are fraternity friends, we honestly yearn for the day when we can hold a Negro factory or the click of a Negro register of a Negro enterprise from a bootblack' shop, to a radium plant sound as sweetly to the brethren as the toot of a steam engine and the slide of a cash register drawer in a railway station. And as we said before, first the 'birth rate of business' coin must be increased,—at least it must be equalized with the death rate of church bell and fraternal convention greenbacks. Selah! The Bird and the Cage— A flaxen-haired white lady, holding aloft in her hands a beautiful gilded bird cage ran frantically around the base of a tree on the city street, calling, "Come back, Dickey," to a little canary bird which had abandoned his prison for a limb high up forth as sweet whence he was pouring forth as sweet whence he was gave even heard from the throne of a vin in his song "there seemed to be a note of joyousness which we had never heard before when the little fellow was safely locked in his cage next door, "Come back Dickey, come back Dickey," called the white lady, but Dickey's only reply was a burst song and a flight to a higher limb and come as he felt increased strength from his wings and the fresh air of outdoors go down into his lungs. Dickey's new freedom is not unlike that which has come to the million Negro migrants who have come to the Northland during the past ten years out of the cage of peonage, lynching, octopus-like prejudice with tentacles into the home life, the schools; the schools and, in fact, into every phase of life where the question of color can be used as a blindfold for equity and justice. Upon the Negro's abandonment of those acres of stitified citizenship his "best friends" there, the owners of the cage, like the canary back Dickey, but the migrator Negro freemover, owes the atmosphere and the increased strength of privilege, have not heard the call There remains "down home," however, millions of Negroes whose patience, while in the cage, has not waned. They cling still to the hope that the meek will inherit the earth, their hopes die. their Christian obliquity, the warning signal of an enlightened civilization, pointing towards a deserved freedom, a higher appreciation of their faith, a knowledge that God is no respecter of persons, and a quickening of the will to deal justly with those who remain in or close to the cage, the harms of which should be torn amender, freedom of this life will be theirs, moral lines will yield to the love of the good between all the people of the good old U. S. A. regardless of color. NEW PHONE NUMBER Of The St. Louis Argus CENTRAL 4620 Address 2312-14 Market St. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1925 ILLINOIS NEWS The services at the A. M.

Maybe the man meant to do it: to bring forward this shindersones lie against the Negro soldier while there were still living many white men who could refute point-blank by the stories of their experiences with black soldiers, while the men and the officers of the "Old Fifteenth New York" and the Illinois St are still alive; while Johnson and Roberties and Carrizal are still fresh in their minds of lying men; while the lie could be scatched by a thousand facts that cannot be disputed. We confess that we did not believe that any high officer of the army had the nerve to give currency to the lie that Negro soldiers are either cowardly or criminal in the face of the outstanding facts to the contrary. If Bullard could have lived and waited for about two generations, when most of the soldiers and manhunt documents subjected to some natural doubt, he might have had better success with this lie. But there is no chance for it now. At present there are too many honest white people who know the truth by personal experience, and too many intelligent colored people who, though they are not even soldiers, are not afraid even of a third-rate "general" of the army. We know what Peraking, who knew the Tenth Cavary and the Twenty-fourth infantry so well, thinks of Bullard's charges. We do not mean that there are no cowardly black men. My God, we can find Bullard a regiment of them in a few days, but we would have to PICK them to get together such a regiment, such as we would have to pick them to get a regiment of white cowards. There are cowards in this world, white and black, some of them become members of the army of the United States, not all are black and not all are privates in the ranks. But to pick out any of these as proof that all the others of like color are of like kind, would be just as logical as to pick out the unspeakably brave black fellows who met an overwhelming force of Mexicans at Carrizal as proof that all black people are superheroes. And it is absolutely useless to argue with a "general" that Negroes are not characteristically raped by men may have been several black American men who committed rape in France, General Bullard, or anybody else to show that the colored troops committed rape or any other crime OUT OF PROPORTION TO THE WHOLE NUMBER of American soldiers. The truth is: Negro soldiers did not do nearly their share of the raped done in France—but we will never claim any exceptional humanity for black people. All we claim is that they are human just like the others. The only people who are city. She plans for the summer months classes and individual instruction for teachers who are interested in aesthetic dancing. wrong about the Negro are the peopec wide try to make it out that he is better or worse than other men. The Bullhard type usually try to make sure that he is decidedly worse. There is no science or history for their position. Perhaps the only reason why the Negro soldiers did not commit as much rape in France as their white comrades committed, (1) that they did not have as good a chance, and (2) that they knew they would be hanged for it quicker, than the whites. What ever the reason, the fact that they did not remain the fact—And the only reason why Johnson and Roberts held their post against an overwhelming assaulting column of Germans longer than white American soldiers would have held under like assault, is because they knew that, being black if they gave up, even against overwhelming odds, then about six or some years after the war was over, to fight anybody and who never had to fight anybody and who heard of the fighting by field telegrams, the sat in safe tents for from the battle line, would write some book or newspaper articles saying that the black man had given up, not because they were overwhelmed or beaten, but BECAUSE THEY WERE BLACK. If black men ever act better or superior to white men these are the reasons. Never mind! Just wait till the white generals start the next war against Japan or anybody else, then you will hear all the sweet praises about our "loyalty colored people," that "our faithful colored soldiers" they have always been, and how they have "always stood by the flag," and such other untimely acknowledgement of the truth when we want the black brother" tee rush in again and the dangerous and dirty work. The Bullard type of American is like that: they suffer the Negro to be flattered into service and devotion in time of war, and then they try to lie him out of all honor and recognition in the day of comparative luxury of "peace parades" and army training camps. Well, at least we will hear more of Bullard in this year of peace than we heard of him during all the years of the war. 30,000 EXPECTED AT WALKER AGENTS' MEET ATLANTA, GA., AUG. 12-14 30,000 EXPECTED AT WALKER AGENTS' MEET ATLANTA, GA., AUG. 12-14 Arrange Plans To Outdo Any Previous Convention. Will Hold Beauty Contest INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 27.—The National convention of Mme. C. J. Walker agents, largest exclusive Negro women's business convention in the world, will meet August 12, 13 and 14 at Atlanta, Ga. Advance indications are that this will be the most largely attended and beneficial assembly of these women ever held. Of the 30,000 agents are members of the union of reside in every state of the Union's headquarters. South America, the West Indies, Alaska, Africa and the Philippines islands. These agents have their own clubs and will send a large number of delegates to Atlanta. On the night of the 12th a special reception will be, held for the delegates at which time some of the country's prominent business leaders will speak and a general welcome to Atlanta be extended. Thursday evening, August, 10.Major Robert R Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute and president of the National Business League, will address the delegates and public. Prominent medical and educational men are scheduled to address the sessions on their respective phases of life. Several features of entertainment are planned among other city wide beauty contest, this event will be a beautiful girl will be found and showed with befitting honors on the closing night of the convention. From the plans now being made, Atlanta, for entertainment will outdo Detroit, Cleveland, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and other cities in which the convention has been held from year to year, which indeed planning a great deal Recent tests show that silk through used in stringing pearls should be dyed or contain chemicals as the lustre of the pearls may be destroyed. A telescope has been invented which although only five inches long, will magnify four and a half times. only 8.2 per cent being gainfully employed. The report shows that there are 58 Negro physicians practicing in 10 counties of the State, one of whom is in counties; 3 chiropeutics in counties; 3 chiropeutics in hygiens; 13 pharmacists is 6 counties and 2 chiropractors. There are 7 Negro hospitals in the state and 12 registered nurses. The 24 Negro lawyers in West Virginia are located in 6 counties, McDowell leading the list with 11 and Kanawha next with 5. The report contains housing and business surveys for Clarkburg and Huntington. Home ownership data, detailed information regarding Negro miners and farmers and the value of farm property owned and operated by Negroes. Under the title "Business Awakening," the report shows that during the past two years Negroes formed 31 corporations with an aggregate capital stock of $1,107,000.00 and that "all of these corporations were formed to serve a particular need of the Negroes of the state at large or of the community in which they are doing business. A noteworthy feature is that none of these corporations were stock selling schemes to relieve the gullible of their money. All were legitimate efforts to conduct legitimate business and all of them are doing the main business for which they were incorporated. Fraternities and Insurance A short review of the activities of Negro fraternities and insurance companies operating in West Virginia is given with statistical tables showing membership, finance and affiliated corporations. Three Negro owned insurance companies are doing business in the state one of which is a West Virginia institution owned by citizens of the state. Churches The report sets forth that, approximately one-fourth of the Negroes of the state are members of some church and that the baptist churches have more members than all other churches combined. The churches, associations and conferences of churches and Sunday schools are doing much uplift work among Negroes and great good is resulting from their work. The statistical table shows that there are 220 Negro churches of five denominations in the state, with 19,063 members owning church property valued at $11,757,750. The section of the report dealing with the education of the Negro in the state gives much detailed information regarding all phases of Negro education. There were enrolled in the elementary and high schools of the state (1923-1924) 22,870, an increase of more than 5,000 over the previous year. There are 9 first class high schools for Negroes in 7 counties; 7 second class high schools in an equal number of counties and 6 high schools below second class in 5 counties. These high schools and an enrollment of 1,162 Negro youths. In addition to these there were in the two state institutions and Storer: College 600 Negro high school students, making 1,852 Negro youths pursuing high school courses. This is a splendid showing and argues well for the future intelligence of West Virginia's Negro citizenship. The report contains several statistical tables regarding Negro schools, teachers, school attendance and illiteracy. Juvenile delinquency is dealt with at length and a table is printed giving the principal offences for - which Negro children were tried in each judicial district of the state. Inter-racial Relations One of the interesting sections of the report deals with inter-racial relations in which Director Hill says "the relations between the races in West Virginia were never better than they are now. Throughout the state the spirit of harmony and co-operation prevails to a remarkable degree." A high tribute is paid to the press of the state for its fair and friendly attitude in dealing with the Negro and questions in which the race is interested. The Negro press comes in for praise for its generous contributions of space to spread useful information among the Negroes. A summary of clippings relating to the Negro taken from six states daily and two weekly papers covering a period of two years is given. A roster of Negro civic and welfare agencies in the state, with the names and addresses of the principle officers is given; also the names of Negroes holding public offices throughout the State. Much other valuable information and many statistical tables are contained in the report which closes with a table of the Negro data re- guarding Negroes from this state who died in the service of their country during the World War. Recommendations The report contains recommendations for the enactment of a law regulating the sale of lots; the establishment of a Negro unit as a part of the National Guard; the appointment of Negro officers of the law wherever there is an appreciable Negro population; the enlistment of Negroes in the State Police; the appointment of Negro probation officers to look after Negro delinquents; the employment of trained Negro public health workers for service among the members of the Negro community; the employment of Negro physicians by industry; and theploy Negroes and contract for medical service; the withdrawal of State aid from county fairs which discriminate against Negroes; the establishment of a permanent 4 H Camp for Negroes and the drawing of Negroes for jury service in all counties having an appreciable Negro population. - A cupful of salt was a favorite of suicide among Chinese, for in large doses it acts as a violent irritant of the stomach. But although it is a poison, it is beneficial in small quantities, and, indeed, is necessary for health. was confirmed by my battalion commander who was present. The officers, of Co. "B", a very efficient officer transferred to mother division. The continued transferring of efficient officers to other divisions, discouraged the men and created a feeling that the organization was expected to fall. September 16. "Rejoined my command at 8:30 a.m. after four days at regimental headquarters. At 10:30 I heard a noise in rear of my headquarters and went to the headquarters. I challenged them and received no reply and opened fire upon them. A man creed out: "Captains, you have shot me." It was Sergeant Lucas who with two other men, had, against orders, made a trip to an apple tree which was between our position and the enemy." I had specifically ordered that no men should visit this tree as I feared the fruit had been poisoned. September 17. "Placed under arrest for shootings of Sergeant Lucas." September 21. "Still under arrest but have not been relieved of command. German man trailed tough and attacked LaRanere, one of my support positions. September 27. "Ordered to evacuate position and report to commanding officer of company "K" which relieved me of my command." September 23. "Entire regiment moved to new sector on Metz and Verdun front." September 25. "Arrived in position. Am yet under arrest." "I was placed in command of first platoon of company "K". Cant Dake, and we moved out under an American barrage." earl barrage. September 26. "At 2:30 a. m. I received orders to establish a combat liaison between the third battalion of the 208th infantry 77th division, with one platoon from Co. "E" and one from Co. "K" and one section of machine gun. The machine gun was commanded by Lleut Goodman from Washington, D.C., and the platoons by Sergeants. I informed the men of our objective and without maps we were set out blundering on until we arrived at our destination at the appointed time. There we came under the enemy's machine gun fire and also received the rear. Lleut. Goodman placed his machine guns in position and opened the machine gun put the enemy to flight and I sent a man back to the 208th to notify them that American troops were operating in frent. The major came up and I reported to him that he gave orders for me to connect up with the left flank of this battalion. "In this encounter Lieut. Goodman captured two machine guns and 4 weapons. General however, declares that we can arrest the prisoners and could not stand shell fire." "Was relieved of this duty and ordered to report to Captain Peeks by the battalion commander, who said the company was at Brestleo Trench in the Argonne Forest. Upon starting out, I noticed a large number of men of Co. "K" around headquarters and I asked the first servicer where was Capt. Peaks, to which he replied he did not know. This was his answer to queries about other officers with the exception of Lieut. Kroeger, stating further that he had not seen them at 5. m. and it was then 3:00. p. m. I responded to the battalion commander and asked him again where company "K" was located and he said "somewhere in the front line" and told him the company was at the battalion headquarters with one officer. He ordered me to join the company. This I did and although under arrest I assumed command." This again indicated the efficiency of our battalion commander. He was wholly ignorant of the whereabouts of his own troops and was at the same time reporting to the regimental headquarters that all was well on his front. Congress knew he was ordered to take over Bernardsville. Having, no map I borrowed the battalion commander's map and got a vague idea where we had to go. Our orders were to go "over the top at 6:30 p. m., it was then 5:15 p. m. I found that the troops had no grenades. I sensed the situation and held conference with Captain Green as to our respective positions in line. At the appointed time, we "went over the top." "I sent a patrol to my right flank to establish a lasson with Major Olsea's a battalion Sergt. Collier, who commanded the patrol, returned and stated that he could not find the battalion. I ordered him to go back and locate the battalion and establish connections. "As darkness descended a drizzling rain began to fall, I with one officer and 244, men continued the advance up Nervaville road, without maps or wire cutters. We came under the machine gun fire of the enemy which became very heavy, I thought of my right flank. I placed first and second platoons in the front line; ordered the 3rd and 4th platoons to follow in the rear and ordered Lieut. Cross from Co. "I" to move his platoon to my right flank. "The front line platoons continued to advance under fire and with counter attack pushed the enemy back. At 11:00 p. m. a runner came up with a verbal order to halt until further orders. I asked who sent the order and he said the battalion commander, I knowing just what it meant to halt in this position sold "halt hell, continue to advance." September 27. "At 2 a. m., we arrived at the enemy's barbed wire entanglements, and there we had to halt. "A survey of my men showed, that the only officer I had was gassed; 14 men gassed, 1 killed and 1 wounded. The fourth platoon lost direction in the battle but came up later. In my men's table, I describe the battles of the 27 and 28th September which led up to the court-martialing of five officers including the writer. I shall give an accurate account of the entire case so that the readers will know the truth and not be misled by the statements made by General Bulhard. Continued Next Week.
