An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man DOWNS RACE HATRED AT WORLD MEET Bishop L. K. Kyles Addresses 20,000 At Internatinoal Christian Endeavor Convention. PORTLAND, Orc., July 15—A meeting whose messages shall be spread throughout the world and whose accomplishments shall go down in the annals of history was the International Christian Endeavor Convention, which came to a close in this city Friday after a seven days session. The international, interracial and inter-denominalial affair attracted delegates from the far corners of the earth, and representatives of many nationalities and many faiths. A significant event of the meeting was the election of Bishop Lymwood Westinghouse Kyle, trustee-at-large an office which the late Booker T. Washington held at one time. Need "Fellowship Gospel." Before a visible audience estimated at from 15 to 20 thousand people, and an unasscertain outside audience who were listening on radios, Bishop Kyle delivered one of the outstanding addresses of the convention on "Interracial Fellowship." In this address, the Bishop struck the fundamental of the problems of race relations. In his speech he declared: "The times upon which we have fallen very oblivious need what has been aptly called "The Gospel of Fellowship." The challenge of the times however, as it may be interpreted for fellowship in larger relations of mankind. We are living in a world of sundered relationships, of unhappy divisions, of social, racial and national fears, leauses, rivalries and hatreds, of shiister movements portentions with grave peril to the well-being of the world. And it seems to me that this Convention strikes the right note when it makes "Fellowship" the general theme for our discussion. Enlightened fellowship, suffused with the spirit of the world, man relations with prove it sovereignly for most of the hills of the world. "There are those who do not think such fellowship at all possible. In their view the old story of race hatreds and antagonisms will continue to repeat itself indefinitely, and the future holds no certain promise of a better day. But in most cases those who hold this opinion are either blinded by a theory, or with them the wish is father to the thought. They either have some per scheme or theory they want to exploit, or they consider the fellowship of the races as entirely understated. Races Fundamentally Allike "Fellowship is possible because of the fundamental unity of the race. No doubt there are differences that are unquestionably real and more or less marked between the races, but these differences are incidental—mere diversifications within an underlying unity. The essential points of unity and kinship are at once more real, more vital, more numerous and more conclusive than the incidental marks of difference. Shylock speaks for all races when he asserts his claim of the common humanity of the Jew: 'I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, drips, hair, skin, and flesh, suffered with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is. If you poison us, do we not die?' "Christianity unequivocally teaches the oneness of humanity. God is the common Father of all men. We possess community of origin, nature and needs. The Gospel makes a universal appeal and there is yet to be found any race of people incapable of responding to it." A Negro youth, William Tate, bare- 29 years of age, paid for a wild wayward career with his life last Sunday, when he was shot to death, while his mother plead with him-by special officer John Roland (white) after he had cut an associate, James Bare field, and seriously wounded Veteran police Leutenant James H. McNamara, 69 (white) while in a drunken frenzy. The shooting occurred at the home of Tate at 1709 N. 10th St Both of Tate's victims are recovering from their wounds, although it was necessary to amputate to 5 of Lieut. McNamara's fingers.

He was caught in a current and carried four blocks to the Municipal Docks at N. Market street before he disappeared from sight. Efforts to recover his body have failed. Napoleon lived with his parents at 112 N. 18th St. The St. Louis Argus Brutalities Of N.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People "It is our unanimous opinion that a deplorable condition existed at the Rocky Mount camp, with no exhorting circumstances, no redoucing features, no justification, no rights or reasons for such brutal, inhumane physical treatment as had been accorded" prisoners in this camp or stockade. "Added to this treatment, the prisoners have been subject to a more cowardly form of mental and torture by the threats of physical punishment, unless willing to perjure them, and while being deprived of their liberty have seen those in charge of them, and having unrestricted power over them, disregard any and all laws, observing crimes committed in their presence, in most instances, more reprehensible than needs for which they, the prisoners, were adjudged guilty."

ALPHA PHI FRATERNITY MAINTAINS HIGH RATINNG CLEYELAND, Ohio July 13.—In a communication recently received by Attorney, Norman L. McGhee of Cleveland, Ohio, National Secretary of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Dr. W. M. Smallwood, chairman of the fraternity committee of Syracuse University states that the Iota Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was among the fraternities at Syracuse University maintaining a high average for the past school year. In Dr. Smallwood's report he states "The present plan of indicating the relative standing of the fraternities is new to us at Syracuse. The immediate reason for making the change from a percentage rating to this one is the adoption of the group plan of grading. The essential fact that we wish to learn from a study of the scholastic work of fraternities is their success in meeting or exceeding the minimum requirement for graduation which is that work counted towards a degree shall be passed an average of "C." That is, the student who earned as many grade points as hours earned in the course in which he is registered. If we take the total number of hours which any student carries in any year and the total number of grade points earned and divide the number of hours we find the relative success of such a student in meeting these requirements. "The same method can be utilized in determining the relative success of a group of students such as a fraternity and this is the method that has been employed in the present rating. It is a satisfaction to report that a fraternity has achieved an average rating of more than 1.00. The rating 1.00 indicates that the fraternity as a group has earned as many grade points as credit hours, which means that the members of the fraternities taken as groups, averaged to be successful in meeting the requirements for graduation. In amuch as these requirements were met, a defined point system was adopted, this showing that of the fraternities is to be commended. In view of the fact that Alpha Phi Alpha is the only Negro College Fraternity on the campus of Syracuse University which has faculty recognition; such information regarding the high rating obtained by this group of representative Negro College students should prove gratifying to the Negro people throughout the country. The average mainlanded by the Alpha Phi Alpha was 1.24, being close up to the front in the list of more than fifty organizations at the Syracuse University. Boy Shot When Negro Tries To Protect Home Against Whites. American Legion Offers Aid. DETROIT, Mich., July 15—The bitter agitation which has been created here by the residential segregation, reached a serious point last week causing several violent outbreaks, which resulted in numerous casualties, and thousands of dollars in damage. Mayor John W. Smith of Detroit, appealed to the citizens to aid the police to prevent the menace. of a race riot and to keep peace and order. Thrown Out of Home The recent series of mob violence against Negro residences was a renewal of similar incidents which occurred several years ago. The first sign of the latest trouble occurred three weeks ago when Dr. Alex Turner, prominent colored physician, of the automobile city, moved into a mansion in exclusive Virginia Park. The police disregarded threats of white belligerents to move. He was finally forced to move, however, to save his family and himself from harm, the police seeming unable to cope with the situation. His ousting was a signal for a general uprising of the whites against colored citizens who had invaded neighborhoods that had been wilfully restricted. A mob attacked John Fletcher's home at 9428 Soeplel Friday night. A crowd of several thousand surrounded the dwelling during the affair hurling missiles against the doors and through the windows. Several shots fired at the crowd from the house resulted in the wounding of a white boy, Leonard Paul. Shortly after the shooting a reinforcement of the crowd arrived and dispersed the crowd. Leonard was arrested for the shooting of Leonard but was later when it was found that the wound was not serious. Legion Offers Aid Hardly a day after the attack on the Fletcher home, the residence of Jams Wimbley, at 6208 Central avenue was almost wrecked by missiles hurled by a crowd of whites. Following the attack on Wimbley's home, and the receipt of a letter from the former President of America for the Legion offering protection to the colored citizens, Police Commissioner T Croul, made moves to stop the impending danger of riots. Mayor Smith was vigorous in his denunciation of the mob violence. SUIT AGAINST BARRING COLORED FROM THEATER "Sour Grapes" is the name that has been applied to a suit filed in the Circuit Court Tuesday, to force a theatre to admit color patrons, because it was drawing from the pla-tiff's exclusively white theatre by admitting whites only. The theatre against which the suit was instituted is the new Palace Theatre at 319 Franklin, an amusement house which last winter entered to color, but since that time has been sub-leased by its lease-holder at that time, Jesse Horwitz, to Edward Laurent's Little Theatre Corp. This guest householder has barred color patrons, the pla-tiffs and owners of the Palace, Hyman Steph, Neve Konn, complain, and it affects the business of a theatre they operate in the neighborhood which also admits only white. Now, Sarah and Konn want colored admired to the Palace so whites will come to their theatre quite liberally.

After the guests had been served, two novel features lent touch to the colorful effect when to the strains of a Dutch melody, eight Poro girls, affixed in the quam garb of the Netherlands, marched among the guests in true Dutch fashion, distributing small containers of nuts. The applause had heartily ceased when the orchestra struck a lovely Seatish air, and eight other Poro girls in the dress of Scottish Highlanders skipped forth bearing colorful cornniespies filled with candy, which likewise was served.

The six Musical Byrons are featuring the show. Theirs is a distinguished act which rarely appears outside of the higher priced houses. Included in the sexette is Madam Siren Byron, who is a saxophonist and a graceful dancer as well. They open with a medley of choruses. This is followed with one of the popular numbers of the day, "Everybody Loves My Baby ete." "My Dear Luzon" is sung and played by four on one instrument, a Byron-dolin, with piano accompaniment. Madam Byron does a Spanish dance and then the men, with a variety of instruments, play and dance the "Charleston." The finale includes a Chinese dance by the female member followed with a musical parade including Scottish Bag Pipe and bass, drum. The act is an artistic novelty and rooes over big. La Joy and Lavizzo are the certain raises. Their comedy act "The Jew and His Tenant, allows Mr. LaJoy to display his characteristic Hebrew impersonations. Miss Lavizzo also contributes a blues number. LaJoy's "Rover" song makes a hit. They indulge in much humorous conversation and close with a scng and Jew eccentrics. Whisling Pete is a novelty in a class all his own. His whistling is wonderful. After opening with "Georgia Rose," he puts over a few jokes and then gives institutions of various birds, true to life. A couple of other whistling selections bring his unusual and entertaining act to a stormy closes. Burch Williams "Three Hot Shots," two men and a woman, have a dancing act which introduces a variety of steps from the eccentric buck to the artistic soft shoe. They have a few good song numbers and some witty conversation. The act pleases nicely.

Coleman and Johnson will offer a syncopated revue of popular songs and dances. Monday will be "Pay Day" when the patrons will receive their envelopes. THE PICTURE THEATRES Viola Dana will be seen in "The Heart Bandit" at the J'estamere Theatre this Saturday. Rin-Tin-Tin, the wonder dog, will be seen in "Tracked in the Snow Country," on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It is one of those sure fire melodramas of the Far North in which the amusement-seeking public has been showing keen interest for many years. There's the old, miner with the beautiful daughter and his faithful dog living near a fabulously rich gold mine he has discovered. There is the handsome young forest ranger who is in love with the daughter. And there is the villainous half-breed who is plotting to steal the mine for himself—and his unhold designs upon the daughter. Rin-Tin-Tin, whom Warther Brothers have already presented in a number of exciting photoplays, is starred in this one. It is largely through the efforts of the dog that the villain is foiled and the ultimate happiness of the young lovers is made possible. June Marelowe, David Butler and Mitchell Lewis—all of them well known to motion picture devotees—are the principal "humans" in the cast. "Her Husband's Secret," will be shown on Thursday and Friday. Antonio Moreno, Parsy Ruth Miller, Ruth Clifford, Phyllis Haver and others are in the big cast. Moreno es says the role of a debonair young man who, after amassing considerable of a fortune by fraudulent, methods loses it.

A big dramatic scene portrays Moreno choosing between staining the name of his unborn child with his own criminal record or suicide. THE STAR "The Average Woman" will be shown at the Star Theatre this Saturday. It is a dramatic story depicting the life, desires and dramatic incidents of the young woman of today. The Sunday attraction will be "The Spoilers." It deals with the attempt of certain unprincipled characters to gain unlawful possession of the richest mines in the Klondike and work them for their own profit. Rex Beach founded his novel on well known flicks which lent themselves to one of the best adventure stories which recent American literature can boast. The life which he depicts was raw and rugged, the men bold, adventures and often unprincipled. Milton Sills, Anna Q. Nilsson, Noah Beery head the cast. "The Sixth Commandment" and Wm. S. Hart in "The Narrow Trail" will be shown on Monday, Neal Hart in "The Verdict of the Desert" and "What Becomes of the Children are Tuesday, specials, "Barriers Burned Away," a drama of the great Chicago fire will be the Wednesday feature. Eleanor Boardman, Pat O'Malley and Harrison Ford are the stars in "Proud Flesh," next Thursday and Friday. It tells of the earthquake and fire that wiped cut the old San Francisco and of the fresh courage that built up the new city. It is a story of the clash between the forceful, democratic energy of the new generation, and of the old aristocratic pride. THE CRITERION Strongheart, he dog, will be feat.

LEFFINGWELL Open From 1 to 11 p. m. Betty King, is a flirtatious married woman who, although in love with her husband, played by Kenneth McKenna, sees no harm in a little tete-a-tete with Grenham (Menjou). Her indiscretions lead to a situation that is both laughable and serious—laughable because of Menjou's antics when Betty's husband goes gunning for his rival, never dreaming that he is Grenham, are positively the funniest ever, all due apologies to Lloyd, Chaplin, Raymond Griffith and the others—and serious because it threatens to bring about a break between the Kings and ruin things in general for Grenham and Janet (Miss Pringle). There is a real surprise ending. The new novel and exciting "Stereoakopiks" will also be shown. Roy Stewart will be presented in "The Love Brand" on Wednesday; and Leatrice Joy in "The Dressmaker from Paris" on Thursday and Friday. THE LINCOLN "Lilies of the Streets" will be the Lincoln Theatre feature this Saturday.

Gloria Swanson in "Madam Sans Gene" will be the Sunday special. It is a stirring romance of the Napoleonic era, actually produced, in France's historic castles and palaces. Richard Dix and Claire Adams are the stars in "Man and Women," the Monday feature.

Thru the corn fields ere so tall, When this evening sun is low; And the dews that cover all, When the last beams fade and glow. Howard U.

The St. Louis Athletics looked hopelessly beaten in the game with Belleville Clarks last Sunday at Stars Park. The score was 6 to 3 in favor of the Illinoisans when Bennett's men lined up at the bat in the last half of the ninth. They overcame the land, got four runs and won the game 9 to 6. Young, hitting for Straighten, got a hit; Jones struck the ball for a home run, slammed the ball for a home run, two ahead of him. Hill got his base, batts and then Prince grounded out, but the short stop erased on Womack's drive and Hill scored the winning run. It was a screaming climax. Score by inphones.

The final score was 26 to 16. Both sides switched players often. The hit column only totaled 15 for the P's and 10 for the D & D's, but each side made 8 errors, not counting many misplays that would be counted in a league game. For a while it looked as if the contest was going to be close, but the men began to fire early, and then runs piled up, until there was grave dotted in the minds of the fans whether the third out would ever come.

HARRY WILLS SAILS WITH WIFE FOR EUROPE* Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, July 15.—For things indicated the popularity of Harry Wills, contender for the heavyweight crown, more clearly than the host of admirers who gathered on the pier to wish Harry and his wife born voyage, as they sailed for Europe Wednesday. —Wills proved to be a magnet on board and his friends cheered him wildly, and six weeks but does not intend to do any fighting while abroad. The main purpose of the trip is to receive treatment to right himself of an infiltration of the right hand, which he stated was the result of an injury he suffered in the boat with Firpo a year ago. Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager, was at the plea but somehow did not see Harry. PA BOXING COMMISSION FORMS NEW ALLIANCE Preston News Service. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. July 15.—According to word received here last week an alliance has been formed between the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission and the Athletic Commission of Connecticut through the efforts of Thomas E. Donohue. The former member of Commission, Chairman W. H. Rocap, both of this city, and H. J. Boyle of Pittsburgh, are said to have unanimously approved the coalition.

The little flash, Black Bill, who is a strong aspirant for the flyweight crown of the deceased Pancho Villa, met a "tough one" in Wee Willie Woods, flyweight champ of Scotland who suceeded Jimmy Wilde for the crown in England. The undefended little Cuban conquered the Scotchman, the second but however after a white battle, Villa's countryman, Orlando, who was Cuba's official entry in the recent lightweight elimination tournament completed jaclassed Andy Tucker (white) a veteran New York boxer. Joe Hall of Buffalo had a hard time with Charley Manty, a New Bedford star. The best he could do was to get a draw after ten rounds of vicious fighting. Villa, one of the greatest fighters in fistic history amassed a fortune of more than $150,000 in the six years of his ving career during which he has defeated scores of prominent fighters, but died leaving an estate of considerably less than $10,000, according to the estimates of friends. In fact they said Villa spent his ring earnings so lavishly that he was nearly that broke before he engaged in his last contest. The little Filipino boxer gained the application of one of the greatest spenders the ring has produced in years. During the time he lived in New York he occupied an expensive apartment and at one time owned two automobiles. He was an immaculate dresser and bought eight or ten expensive suits of clothes at a time. When he returned from the Philippines recently he paid the expenses of four friends to this country. Chances for a Harry Wills and George Godfrey mix-up have faded as a report came that Wills has refused $125,000 to box the "Black Shadow of Leiperville." Now, negotiations are under way to match Godfrey for a bout with Luis Firpo in Beunos Alres. Godfrey has already agreed to the match. Tiger Flowers, the Georgia Deacon is matched to meet Lou Bogash, scrappy Connecticut, in Chicago, next Friday, July 24.

The second set was won by "Ted" with very little display of skill on either The third and hardest set went 14 games and was won by Thompson after a gruelling match. After a few minutes rest, play was resumed and the champion was forced to yield to his youthful opponent. Holmes won two of the eight games played.

FOUR COLLEGES PLAN ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN FOUR COLLEGES PLAN ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN Preston_News Service. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. July 15—Four presidents of Negro Methodist colleges met here last week and formally agreed upon plans for the expansion and conservation of their colleges totalling a half million dollars. The schools represented are Wiley College, Marshall, Tex.; Rust College Holly Springs, Miss.; Samuel Houston College, Austin, Texas; and Philander Smith College of Little Rock. Among those men attending the conference were: Dr. M. W. Dogan, Dr. R. N. Brooks, Dr. L. M. McCoy, and Dr. George C. Taylor. The meeting was called by Dr. L. Garland Penn, of Chicago. Ohio, secretary of endowments and field activities for colored schools and college students of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Penn presided and Prof. H. J. Mason, formerly secretary of Wiley College, Marshall, Tex., and of the Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College. Prairie View, Texas, and now special assistant to Dr. Penn, was secretary. Conference Enthusiastic It developed that each of these institutions had made marked progress during the past year in student attendance, especially college enrollment, additions to science, library and other academic needs. Large advance subscriptions have already been made as high as $25,000 from one source. These institutions in property and equipment represent a total valuation of a million dollars. They are all free of debt. In opening the conference, Secretary Penn said: "The expansion of our Negro Methodist institutions has been very welcome. From $1,396,498 in 2013 to $4,100,000 in 2012, an advance of $2,743,052 in ten years. "From now on there must be a policy of conservation as well as expansion. Our success in expansion may be our embarrassment unless we provide endowments to safe guard our schools. Much can be done by doing little things often, so that we today take the long look both as to our plans and results that may arise therefore." "If we lay deep and broad our plans vigorously push them, expect results gradually and steady, but continuous keep our institutions out of debt and be prepared to let nothing of obstacle or handicap discourage us, we shall leave a heritage to the boys and girls of today in the permanence of our work which will bless our people for ever. There has been some talk about a merger of the colleges. The matter was brought up in the conference and it was decided to adopt the slogan "No merger but increase the income." HAMPTON-TUSKEGEE FUND $500.000 SHORT HAMPTON-TUSKEGEE FUND $500.000 SHORT Associated Negro-Press NEW YORK, July 15—Carrence H. Kessey, chairman of the executive committee of the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund, annoted this week that the fund is still $500,000 short of the five million total which must be had by December 21 of this year, in order to secure the $2,000,000 gift of George Eastman, the Kodik manufacturer. It is also explained that Mr. Kessey will receive a total of seven, rather than of five million, for the two schools. The Hampton-Tuskegee Alumni raised $28,000. SOUTHERN EDITORS PUT ON SACKCLOTH AND ASHES Associated Negro Press ASHVILLE, N.C., July 15—Of very much interest to Negroes is the code of ethics adopted by editors of southern newspapers at a conference of the Southern Newspaper Publishers' Association in this city this week. Among the points made in the code were these: "Recognizing honest differences of opinion exist, we may vigorously maintain our own position without denouncing others as dishonest and unfair." "Decency should be the 'guilding star' in the printing of news editorials, advertising and all feature articles or illustrations. Is it up to print and to be read rather than 'Will it sell more papers.' Consideration for the unfortunate and for guiltless victims of the faults of others." "No story justifies needless damage to a good reputation nor wanton pain to an innocent." "Respect and tolerance for those of different religion, races and circumstances of life." "Honesty in all dealings, whether with readers, advertisers, employees or competitors." PAGE SEVEN ASSISTANT P. O. CHIEF SPEAKS AT THE POSTAL EMPLOYES CONVENTION ASSISTANT P. O. CHIEF SPEAKS AT THE POSTAL EMPLOYES CONVENTION Says There Are 22,000 Colored Employees, None Receiving Less Than $1,700 Annually Preston News Service WASHINGTON, D. C. July 18 First Assistant Postmaster General J. H. Bartlett was received with enthusiasm at the convention of the National Alliance of Postal Employees here Friday. He invited the colored clerks, carriers, and railway mail service men to examine the right side of the equipment, and to think with optimism of the future. Eight Per Cent. Colored Mr. Bartlett stated that colored men comprise about 8 per cent of the total of postal employees. There are, he said 22,000 colored postal employees out of a total of 200,000, none of whom received in salary less than $1,700. Responding to questions, he suggested that the clerk's pension should be $1,700, than $700, which he considered the policy of the department to give employees, as much time off Saturday afternoons, as the work would permit. Referring especially to matters of discrimination affecting colored men in the service, he said: "I do not find a general belittling of the colored race in this country any more. You have your traditional troubles, but human kindness is fast driving out of the minds of people the distinction of color and race. Each day we see some fellow, of whatever race, who commands the respect of the world. "You have wonderfully preferred positions. But you have, best of all, the pride of knowing that you are working for the best government in the world. You are more than employees. Every one who is a part of the government of the United States is an officer of the country. You should take pride in being trusted by the government as an officer. "To hand down to your children the reputation of being trusted by the government is a better compensation than the salary you receive. By study, by good behavior and resolutions of honor and integrity, you will raise yourselves to the highest place in the government where the law might place you." Referring to mention of the small number of recent appointments of colored men in the postal service because of the use of photographs identification in the civil service, he said: "I do not know what I would do if I were on the civil service commission again and you brought up this question. While the photograph gives the chance to discriminate on account of color, the thing for you is to make a change in the position of the fellow, in whatever department, who discriminates on account of color. Stand up and fight that fellow. It is the better way to cure the evil." Visit Grave of Col. Young The delegates, following a sight- seeing tour, placed wreaths on the graves of the Unknown Soldier and Col. Charles Denton Young in the Arlington cemetery. The report of measure shows a balance of $29.551.00 Debt. A fund al- mited Thursday night at a smoker at the Whitefaw Hotel by John D.

Cruelty To Convicts In Mississippi Prison Camps Cruelty To Convicts In Mississippi Prison Camps Preston News Service JACKSON, Miss., July 15—Excessive flogging is charged in a report of the board of prison trustees by Col. Montgomery, a member of the board, when he calls attention to two camps on the Parchman farm as the chief offenders. Col. Montgomery has worked strenuously for a number of years to check corporal punishment of prisoners. He says that officials' investigations disclose the cruel use of the lash is too often the result of malicious cruelty on the part of those in authority over the men, and there is serious doubt as to whether more harm than good results from this ignominious form of punishment that has been presented against organized society. It is claimed that the efforts of Col. Montgomery in his fight against the use of the lash on prison farms has resulted in much good. He declares, that he will not tolerate excessive use of the lash if it is in his power to prevent it.

MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representatives W. B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. SENATOR WILLIAMS' CANDIDACY leading to newspaper reports, Senator George Dewey recently appointed by Governor Baker, to the G. O. P.

Our predictions in these columns last week of the bosses have gotten behind, closed down, them was their own and therefore, have been ready to sell him to the unsuspecting qualifications or fitness for the place. Skill of fitness and qualifications of them in the Negroes' viewpoint. So far as we know, the estate was consulted on how the race felt us. No one was asked as to whether we ought to be friendly or unfriendly toward us. Action of the G. O.

The colored people, cast nearly 100,000 votes in the next peculiar position in this country, we may may for our own interest and protection women into office. Therefore, we here and ordered people of this state, are not bound, chamber candidate selected behind closed door feel that they have our vote in their pung has already gone on too long as star chamber stuff has caused many of vote against our own interest. Have of "51" moved and acted only at the master. He was not supposed to think slavery is really worse than chattel slavery to be acting the part of a free man. It is not opposed to the G. O. P. as a party. Into whose ranks we have always delighted time has come when we expect the part is beside empty promises. And while it is we have, in a large measure, been content by the party as its standard bearer, us that their selections have been, as auld not trust. Before, we shall, in the future, think for our woman who seeks public office regardless, must be the kind we feel we can trust of the bosses done behind closed doors. According to newspaper reports, Senator Geo. H. Williams, who was recently appointed by Governor Baker, to succeed the late Selden P. Spencer, has announced his candidacy to succeed himself for that office, which is to be voted upon in 1926. True to our predictions in these columns last week, it seems that some of the bosses have gotten behind closed doors, decided that Williams was their man and therefore, have brought him out and are now ready to sell him to the 'unsuspecting voter, regardless of the qualifications or fitness for the place. We speak of fitness and qualifications of the Senator primarily from the Negroes' viewpoint. So far as we know, no Negro in the state was consulted on how the race felt toward Senator Williams. No one was asked as to whether we as a group believed him to be friendly or unfriendly toward in. We know by the past action of the G. O. P., bosses that it is not necessary to consult the Negroes on matters of this kind. The bosses usually speak for them and vote for them on election day. But those days are gone forever. It is here where we walk. It is here where we take exception to the action of the bosses. The colored people of the state will, no doubt, cast nearly 100,000 votes in the next election. Because of our peculiar position in this country, we must look out the best we may for our own interest and protection when voting men and women into office. Therefore, we here and now, declare that the colored people of this state, are not bound politically to any star chamber candidate selected behind closed doors by a few bosses who feel that they have our vote in their pockets. This kind of thing has already gone on too long for our own good. This star chamber stuff has caused many of us, for many years, to vote against our own interest. The slave of "51" moved and acted only at the orders and behest of his master. He was not supposed to think for himself. Political slavery is really worse than chattel slavery because one is supposed to be acting the part of a free man. We are not opposed to the G. O. P. as a party. In fact, it is the party into whose ranks we have always delighted to cast our lot, but the time has come when we expect the party to do something for us beside empty promises. And while it is true, that in the past we have, in a large measure, been contented with the men selected by the party as its standard bearers, experience has taught us that their selections have been, as a rule, the sort that we could not trust. Therefore, we shall, in the future, think for ourselves, and the man or woman who seeks public office regardless to their party affiliations, must be the kind we feel we can trust. The stamp and approval of the bosses done behind closed doors will not suffice. ent Calvin Coolidge has the happy faculty certain questions which have been brought where it requires courage and backbone that we have observed, the President is ing the issue, passing the buck, or in some the responsibility that goes with the his main stock in trade is silence. he thinking of his stand on the Ku Klux scheduled to take place early in August at President Calvin Coolidge has the happy faculty of keeping silent on certain questions which have been brought before him, especially where it requires courage and backbone to act. In most cases that we have observed, the President is found, if not silent, dodging the issue, passing the buck, or in some way getting away from the responsibility that goes with the high office he holds, but his main stock in trade is silence. We are thinking of his stand on the Ku Klux Klan parade, which is scheduled to take place early in August at the Nation's Capital. On such an important matter as that of the Klan, we find the President dodging behind some subordinate of his. This of course, is rather unfortunate or at least very disappointing to thousands of voters who voted for Calvin Coolidge. Because the Klan is a lawless organization fostering racial and religious hatred among the people of the Nation, makes it very necessary that the President of the United States speak out and let the people know where he stands on the question. Nibbling at the issue and pussyfooting will not satisfy the patriotic, liberty-loving people of America. This is the time for Coolidge to speak out. The greatest sin is being silent when one should speak. Just suppose there was a man in the White House like Theodore Roosevelt. Is there any doubt as to what would happen if his attention was called to a proposed Klan parade at the Nation's Capital? The Klan wouldn't dare attempt such a thing. Roosevelt was called the man with the "Big Stick," but he was a man with a decision. He would take a stand even though he might make a mistake. The country to-day is in great need of men of the Roosevelt type. If we had such men in high places, things would be different from what they are now. BULLARD SHOULD BE COURT-MARTIALED Judging from the testimony of many eye-witnesses there is no doubt in our mind but that General Robert Lee Bullard has libeled the Negro Troops, who so nobly served with the American Expeditionary Force in France during the great World War. To say that Negro soldiers are cowards is a false statement of the basest sort and every fair-minded man in America will say so. As we have said before, we do not believe that any appreciable number of people will have any faith in Bullard's sincerity, but his intent should be condemned, not only by the general public, but by the United States government itself. He ought to be called upon to prove his charges or stand a court-martial. No man is fit to hold a commission as an army officer, who is so dwarfed by race prejudice that he will spend so much of his time studying and writing a pack of lies against Negro soldiers merely to gratify his prejudices. An officer in the army has no more right to libel men under him than the men have to falsely accuse him. But inasmuch as Bullard has taken the initiative in this matter and because he is the ranking officer in the case, we call upon the Secretary of War, to do his duty in this matter. The clash reported between the Khan and the anti-Khan forces in Massachusetts a few days ago, is but a forerunner of what may be expected at Washington, D.C., early in August, should the forces of the Invisible Empire be permitted to stage a demonstration against the orderly forces of this government at the Nation's Capital.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1925 Comment and Opinion Devoted to a Discussion of Social and Civic Problems and Events By GORDON H, SIMPSON Executive Secretary, Urban League of St. Louis ST. LOUIS NEEDS A DAY NURSERY St. Louis needs a *a* Day Nursery! in fact, St. Louis needs several day nurseries located in neighborhoods convenient to the hundreds of mothers who are obliged to supplement the family income by working out by the day or week. Testimony to this great need is found in the report of family case work agencies and the experience of other social workers, as well as the observation of any one noting the hundreds of mothers who each day take the hours in the early hours of the morning and who return to their homes often late in the evening. That many children in these homes suffer because of the lack of attention, cure and proper feeding during the absence of their mothers cannot be denied. Not for some years has any organization been made to establish day nursery facilities which would reach any considerable number of needy mothers. One or two of the churches have endeavored to operate on a moderate scale; an effort was put forth by a group of interdisciplinary women a short time ago to establish this type of nursery, but these efforts have not resulted in anything definite to date. Our city is well organized to take care of dependent families, free employment service by the Urban League and Y. W. C. A., nurses to visit in the homes, while our orphans and old folks are well taken care of. The next step in the extension of social service in a needy field should be the establishment of a day nursery. There is no better way for a bequest in the wealth of a socially-minded citizen than the assignment of a substantial amount for such a worthy purpose as the establishment of a day nursery.

July 15—[North Carolina] Sherrill, the colonel who has charge of parks and buildings in the District of Columbia, has come in for a new flood of criticism following his refusal to give a permit to an anti-klan group to use the Washington Monument grounds for a meeting the 15th of August. Sherrill had already given the Ku Klux Klan permission to use the ground a week earlier. The application for August 15 was made by the Rev. George I. Lawson, for permission to hold a "peaceful anti-gathering" at the same place. Sherrill ground the application on the ground that the anti-klan meeting was to be of a political character such as is prohibited by the regulations of the federal government concerning public parks.

C., July 15—Paul Adams, a white newsboy, exploited another pet theory about Negroes here Saturday night when, in a Jim-Crow watermelon-eating contest, he disposed of one in one minute and a half. There were forty contestants and Thad was given a gold watch. The watermelon-potterers watched the white boys devour their "letters from home." PUT COOLIDGE IN CRACK Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, July 15—President Calvin Codine has been placed in a position from which he cannot recede in respect to the Ku Klux Klan by a letter from Lt. C. C. O. Sherrill, director of parks in the District of Columbia, in which he is asked whether the proposed klan parade for August 8 meets with his approval and, if not, whether he desires the permit to be revoked. The President has been swamped with protests against the klan demonstration: He declined an invitation to review the parade. Henry Johnson, 87, Formerly D. C.

Policeman Is Severely Beaten LEICESTER, Mass., July 15. Scores of persons were injured in a riot here Tuesday night between Klansmen and anti-Klansmen. One police officer James Fitzpatrick of Rochdale suffered serious injuries from a severe beating administered by him at the Klansmen when he attempted to capture one of their hooded companions who had a pistol in his possession. The anti-Klan antagonism which has long been strongly in evidence among citizens here was greatly agitated by the continual presence of Klan activities, and last Tuesday night when word was broadcast that members of the "hooded order" were gathering for a demonstration, a group of angry citizens attempted to stop the affair. A general rough and tumble mix-up followed in which the Klansmen outnumbered their foes three to one.

Several shots were exchanged during the struggle, and a number of automobiles were damaged in running battles. $500,000 WHITE CONCERN BUYS DR.

N. C. BRUCE DISCUSSES SCHOOLS IN THE STATE THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO Speaking of education, some too often err when talking or writing about education as if it meant ability to read and write, and the little book knowledge of schools, but it takes everything, health, physical and sanitary training along with book learning. It takes homes, housing, beautiful environment at both homes and schools; it requires economic and industrial training, good citizenship, moral and spiritual development along ways of honesty, truth, faithfulness and loyalty. Oh, it means everything that goes to make a good name, character an efficient, acceptable citizen who goes in and out among his fellow citizens doing his bit productively and helpfully, both to himself, his community, his state and his country. And so when we survey, tabulate, and essay to give the Missouri educational outlook for our group, or any group, we undertake no little job. To be brief, we must all note with gratitude that the trend is upward. Our State and State Department of Education are raising the standards of teacher preparation, environments, buildings and equipment of public schools. Our teachers and children too naturally should benefit by this raised standard. They are helpful in some places here and there, where parents and patrons are in sufficient numbers, permanent in their residence, and with interest, and are organized co-operatively with other citizens and with school authorities, who are sworn under the laws of Missouri to give every Missouri child his or her equal chance in education to help fit these for an efficient, useful, productive and desirable citizenship. This is each child's birthright, and also the dual system of our state and all southern states work a hardship on may poorer school districts, and completely shut out thousands of our little children in many Missouri counties from any public school training at all, under our State law requiring fifteen Negro children before a school must be opened to them, yet in many places where there is a school for colored children, parents, and children do not avail themselves of all that is offered. This, of course, has always and will-perhaps ever be thus. Yet our teachers, preachers, business men and women, all need new zeal for knowledge to wake up those that sleep and stir them to educate and improve themselves and their children the best possible under the conditions. It is patient now, what has always been true, that man frees and saves and educates himself and his, or never is freed, educated and saved by others. A great stril is on in the remotest sections of the state among our white Missouri people for their children's education. Hence, one sees grade school buildings for white children in evidence all over the state; especially in every town of any appreciable size. We are glad of this, for it means that colored parents will get busy for their children. The State Department of Education and the last General Assembly, representing public sentiment of the whole state, saw the disparity, the uneven break for over fifty thousand children in our group, and although the Community School Bill, which would have greatly benefitted all rural sections failed, yet a little help was given by enacting the Missouri Negro Teachers' Training Bill, which like Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Virginia and other such states, makes colored teachers' training, for a few weeks each year both accessible and possible to hundreds of poorly prepared, and poorly colored teachers in rural sections. These are not county teacher-training schools as in other states but summer normal, training schools of ten weeks, placed in five centers known as districts; northeast at Hannibal; northwest at St. Joseph; southwest at Springfield; southeast at Cape Girardeau and New Madrid, and conducted by highly trained men and women of successful experience. Educators of true missionary spirit see and know the afflictions and reproaches of our people, as well as they know also that we must be up and doing, interested in our own children's education and salvation. The truth is, as the writer has seen it, that the hearts of a vast majority of those who rule in Missouri are right and just. These are largely educated officials, and they know the fearful penalties and great tolls men and nations have paid for injustices. Everywhere in Missouri, and I have been over it all as great as it is, wherever any appreciable number of colored people have survived, are making good and are interested in, and looking after their belongings, they get themselves adequate, if not equal advantages for their children's education. Most Negro rural schools are badly located and surrounded, but they are schools. We yield to none as to exact knowledge of the bad conditions and disadvantages; it often seems pretences with malice aforethought, yet in this world men take and keep and develop for themselves all they beneficially get. There are metes and bounds, but no lets and real hindrances in America anywhere since chattel freedom, except as are within. **** People must busy themselves for their adequate shares in the education of their children. Back to the point—Missouri's educational outlook for her colored people. In the greater cities, it is excellent and far ahead of a proper and profitable and justifiable digestion; in certain lesser towns and villages, it is as good as the parents and patrons have helped to make it in country and rural sections.

Especially every colored Missourian now knows that he suffers when another goes wrong, and that he is lifted up when another does well.

NEGRO EDUCATION MOVES FORWARD IN THE SOUTH By Wm..Anthony Aery HAMPTON, Va., July 13—Jackson Davis of Richmond, Va., who is the field agent of the General Education Board, recently spoke in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, before the summer session of teachers which is directed by Vice Principal George P. Phenix on "Building Up a Better Rural Civilization." He referred to the help and inspiration which have come to many educators from the work of Hampton Institute and other summer schools. J. Walter Huffington, State supervisor of colored schools in Maryland, stated, that Maryland recognizes the potency and influence of the rural school and therefore pays rural teachers the same salaries as it pays city teachers who hold the same certificates. He also stated that the length of the school term is the same for rural and city schools. Maryland aims to improve class-room teaching through systematic supervision. "The State of Maryland," he said, "is spending annually from public funds field agent of the General Education Board, described the conference of representatives from 15 southern states assembled at Gulfport, Mississippi, in which plans were outlined for providing more adequate high school facilities for colored people throughout the south, "in Texas," he said, "there were 10 years ago 2250 high school pupils in the entire state. Last year there were over 9000 high school boys and girls in public high schools. School men everywhere are intent on building high schools right." THE MISSOURI CONFERENCE OF THE A. M. E. ZION CHURCH HOLDS SESSION E. ST. LOUIS, HI., July 14. The thirty-sixth session of the Missouri Conference of the A.M.E. Zion Church will held here July 8 to 12. The conference marked a forward step in this session, as it was the greatest conference held by a Zion bishop in recent years. The presiding bishop was the Rt. Rev. John Westerly Woold, D. D. of Indianapolis, Ind. Bishop Wood is the presiding bishop of the Sixth Episcopal District of the A.M.E. church. He was appointed to the Missouri Conference at the General Conference at Indianapolis in May 1924. His district includes the Missouri, West Tennessee, Mississippi, South Mississippi and Louisiana conferences. Bishop Wood lost no time in hearing the reports of the pastors. Nearly thirty-five hundred dollars raised on claims, which showed an increase of almost seventeen hundred dollars over last year. A program was rendered by the Foreign Missionary Society. The women who work in this society did a great work in the past year. Mrs. Wood, wife of the bishop, appealed to the women to do even better. The women are always willing to do anything to uplift the conference. The amount raised for foreign missions surpassed all other records. The presiding elders made wonderful reports. In counting the number of new churches brought in, it was found that there were ten to be supplied. This makes a large conference. The conference, was largely attended by the men.

A TRADE MAKER PAGES 9 TO 14 Associated Negro Press. Associated Negro Press. Editor's Note: This is the final installment of a series of articles written by Captain Daniel A. Smith in refutation of the charges made by General Robert Lee Bullard that Negroes were cowards in the World War. Captain Smith in his previous articles has reviewed the deeds of the 668th Infantry and particularly the 3rd Battalion. He cited the handicaps under which the outfit operated and outlined in graphic terms the various discouragements and difficulties heaped upon the Negro soldiers by important white officers. He has now reached the Court Martial. In accord with the report that we would be relieved by French soldiers at 3:30 p. m., on the (twenty-ninth) we were placed on a French Battalion. The French officers were eloquent in their praise of our work and heaped commendations upon the officers and men. The following day the company commanders of the 3rd Battalion were ordered to Regimental Headquarters to ascertain just why the 3rd Battalion had failed to operate, as it should have. He then conferred with each one of the officers except me. I asked Major Norris just why I was not questioned and he replied "You are not commanding any company. Captain Peeks is in command of Company K," and you are still under arrest." This was amusing in a way to me, the statement that Captain Peeks was in command of Company K, when he had been wounded on the morning of the 26th and had been at the hospital since that date. After I thought of the matter it dawned upon me just what this Major was endeavoring to do. He had misinformed the Regimental Commander as to the operation of his battalion and had charged the officers and men with cowardice. Following the interview, we returned to our commands and on November 3, I, along with four other officers, was placed under arrest and charged with cowardice. The court-martial was held the next day and the evidence brought out was ridiculous, embodying confused orders and the Major was caught in so many lies that the whole thing became a joke. Orders came to halt the proceedings. General Bullard in his article stated that he stopped the proceedings so he could investigate the evidence. Well, that was the reason. The charges could not be substantiated and Major Norris had lived infamously about the actions of his men. We reported to our billets and the Major sent an order releasing us from arrest. That was another indication of his ignorance. We were arrested on a Division order and now were being released by a Battallion order. November 6, I was again court-martialled for shooting Sergeant Lucas, and was acquitted and on November 7, the court-martial for cowardice was resumed. On the eighth we were sent back to our billets, and on November 10 the regiment moved to the front line. General Bullard stated that he could not get the Negro to fight. He should have seen those Negro boys on that day eager to get into the fray, but being held in check. For the first time the 351st Field Artillery got into action and they did great work. Following the court-martial we were sentenced to be shot for cowardice. The execution was held up and the case was reviewed in courts throughout France and in this country and finally the truth was known and we were exonerated. The General claimed that we would not fight, but the records prove otherwise. The General declared us cowards but the records show the other side. The General failed to mention the conditions under which the Negro soldiers were forced to fight and the cooperated and the organized method of discouraging the men and the effort to instill in them a feeling that their Negro officers were inefficient and unsympathetic. Confusing orders were sent. Constant and concentrated efforts were made to break down the morale of the men, and to render them unfit for service, but in spite of all they went over the top and fought a fight and on the last day were in the first line trenches ready to make the supreme sacrifice.

The eyes of the country are upon those in authority appraising and the reaction resulting and the opinions formed are likely to influence many interests affecting the entire group. President Gooldie Expresses Interest "The officials at the Veteran's Bureau inform me that they are gratified at the progress being made and the manner in which Tuskegee Hospital is being handled." It was President Calvin Coolidge speaking in his office at the White House recently and the writer as he listened, realized as is so often the case where we are concerned that more than just the conduct of an institution was involved. A whole people were being placed on trial as a result of focus which the public eye had placed upon this experiment. Therefore it was intensely interesting on this the first anniversary of the complete control by a colored personnel, to observe the results of their regime. It is a marvelous plant, this haven which Ucahn Sam has erected where his darker nephews whose health, limbs and minds were shattered in his behalf, might find surcase from pain and illness, with hands to tenderly care for them and skilled minds to direct their return to normalcy, free from indifference and prejudice. The story of why the hospital was built, the provision of land by Tuskegee Institute, the interest by Presidents Harding and Coolidge, the Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon, the strenuous opposition of certain elements of the South, the Ku Klux parade, the brunt borne by Dr. R. M. Roton need not be told here. Everyone knows it by heart, but few who have not assisted the hospital have done it, its scope, is unusual possibilities. Services Entire Country. Stretching away like a modern little city, spic and spain, on a reservation of 315 acres, the 25 brick buildings ranging from the imposing double winged main infirmary with 500 rooms to the small administration building, the whole presents an attractive ensemble laid out by land'scape artists, all in accordance with a definite program which, while it presents a complete unit, also comprehends the extension and growth of the hospital. This is a need which is already felt because the dormitories of 600 beds and a waiting list of some proportions is on the file. While originally the hospital was planned for the surrounding area of southern states where inadequate hospitalization has been provided for colored soldiers, transfers have been requested and granted from every section of the country. Originally intended for the treatment of consumption and diseases of the mind, with buildings planned in accordance with the most modern ideas in treating these dread diseases, its scope has been increased until it included every form of illness and various ailments have been secured in various regions departments. It is now classed as a General Hospital. Commandant's Job No Cinch The place is on run a departmental and military basis, each head being responsible for his department, the whole coordinated under an executive Col. J. H. Ward whose authority is complemented by his immediate assistants. Major F. E. Stokes, executive officer and Walter S. Burke, business executive. The employees number now nearly 400 and approximately $750 a month is spent in practice of the 600 patients where for the treatment of nearly every conceivable malady, the majority are either tubercular or psoriastric patients who because of shell shock and other rigors of war became affected mentally. To keep these two inmates progressing and contented is a task with in itself and as a spokesman for the bureau remarked to the writer shortly after the colored personnel was installed, "Col. Ward has a task cut out for him which few men who understood it would envy." Not only must he direct the care of the multitude of patients with their multifarious needs but he must co-ordinate the efforts of a large staff of physicians and experts, many of whom have not been accustomed to central and organized guidance. He must be responsible for the conduct of a plant worth more than $200,000. He must be a physician, an an officer and a business man, but an ambassador and diplomat as well. There are the white people of the community, state and south to be dealt with and last but certainly not least the colored public must be taken into account. Just what has this Negro personnel been able to accomplish? First, excellent discipline has been maintained no easy task with 600 men who have little to occupy their time and minds accustomed to active lives, many of whom were untrained. Next the M. B. buildings and grounds have been kept in excellent shape. Third, as Col Ward remarks, "I have gotten remarkable unison and co-operation from the men and women who compose the working force. They have proved to me that colored people can work together." Recent Charges Investigated Of course there have been malcontents, some of whom were plain coused and others who were actuated by the desire for personal advancement and gain. Some of these men have precipitated trouble, inspiring gossip, writing anonymous letters and while in some instances undesirable publicity has been gained from these outputs they have had but little effect upon the management or the Veteran Burian. The latter inspecs, regularly and recently when a number of charges of inefficiency and graft were filed in Washington, a searching investigation was held. The staff and Col. Ward were exonerated the same spokesman remarking 'There have been mistakes made at the hospital of, course. Mistakes made in all the government hospital staff. The errors have been made at Number 91, the different in type or degree from those dealt with in the other veteran establishments. This statement is further emphasized by the fact that the Tuskegee Hospital is rated third for efficiency among the 19 now being operated by the government. The recent innovation sponsored by Col. Ward for the opening of the hospital to internes is attracting wide attention. Some 110 young men graduated from medical schools this year and these were but 66 places open where they might interne. In order that women and children might also copie under their observation, it is planned that the internes may also practice at the John A. Andrews hospital of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Engleman's college in charge. As a coractive for the late time which the patients, haveide on their hands, President. Coolidge and Secretary. Mollon have recently arranged, for a recreational building which will cost $15,000 containing a gymnasium, an assembly hall and many other features. Viewing it on the whole at close range, it is difficult to arrive at any opinion other than that the race at large has reasons to feel ground of the record which this group of colloid physicians, nurses, orderlies and workers of various types are asking "It's a big job being handled in a big way and, if we put it over successfully, the entire race will benefit." WOMAN MADE PRES. OF THE NATIONAL COLORED REPUBLICAN LEAGUE Preston News Service ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 15— The third annual meeting of the National Colored Republican Conference was held in the Jethr Memorial Presbyterian Church of Atlantic City. This session was called to order by the President, Mrs. Daisy Lampkins, of Pittsburgh, Pa. Rev Silas W. Bristow offered prayer after which the president, Mrs. Lampkins, made her opening address in which she called attention to the death of the founder and president of the Conference, Dr. George E. Cannon, the Recording Secretary, James E. Koch, of Waterbury, Conn., presented his annual report in which he told of the activities of the Con- ference since the last meeting of the condition of the finances and the action of the committee meeting held in Newark, N. J., in the month of May. Dr. W. A. Byrd, of Jersey City, N. J., chairman of the Steering Committee presented his report saying that through the efforts of the Steerin THE ST.LOUIS ARGUS,FRIDAY,JULY 17,1925 Committee, the Republican National Committee had selected Hon. Clarence Matthews to head up the Colored Bureau in the last Presidential campaign and that the committee had had several conference with President Coolidge on the subject of equal patronage for colored citizens and Departmental discrimination and segregation. The following resolutions presented by the Steering Committee were adopted: "Your Committee feels that our great task for this year is to get Congress sympathetic with our aims. What are these aims?" (a) Restoration of the ballot. This is difficult because so many who are deprived do not realize the value of the ballot, hence are unconcerned about it. The value of the ballot, because of this State of the Negro Franchise by the South, a ballot cast by a white voter South is equal to ten votes cast by whites elsewhere in the country. Our fathers in forming the Constitution recognized this probable evil, and made it mandatory upon Congress to penalize by reducing the representation from such states both in the Electoral College and in the House of Representatives. We should ask for the application of the Constitutional safeguard to balance the fran- Therefore. "We recommend that this conference approve of the reduction of Southern representation, and instruct its committee to fight for it before the present Congress. It is our opinion that the moment that this is done, that moment the South will restore the ballot to all. Since the members of Congress are chosen under Fed. legislation, also we recommend that this Conference initiate a committee to take up the enforcement of this statute with Attorney General Sargeant and secure his active support in this matter. We question if one third of the members of Congress from what is called 'the solid South' are fairly and honestly elected. The one great evil standing in the way of an honest and pure franchise in the South is the mob spirit. We recommend that Conference apply to the present Conference an affirmative action to safeguard liberty and life in this nation. "We recommend that the Steering Committee be empowered to get in touch with Chairman Butler of the National Republican Committee and with the Chairman of the Congressional Committee and ask that a colored man be put in charge of a bureau for the purpose of assisting in the election of Congressmen in the same manner as Mr. Clarence Matthews and his associated in the National campaign."

EGYPT'S HISTORY IS 14,000 YEARS OLD Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, July 15—A continuous view of successive civilization in Egypt, carried back, some 14,000 years, is provided as a result of the discoveries of the British School of Archaeology in Egypt, says Prof. Flin ders Petrie, a writer in the London Times. During the last winner, he said that the school was devoted to exervating the students to the earliest civilization, known as the Sadarian civilization, so-called from the name of the district which is south of Asyut. Colorful News "Movies" By The Cameraman For Preston News Service American Negro 'Labor Congress'—Headed by Mr. Lovette Fort-Witheman, supported by its organ, "The Negro Champion", and advocating a maze of objectives involving school attendance, tenant and share-farming organization, child labor, peonage social life, etc., the American Negro Labor Congress has launched its campaign, to culminate in a convention at Chicago on October 25, 1925. Exhaustive propaganda is being used to depict the alms and purposes of the A. N. L. C., and reports indicate that the Congress is using intensive funds to foster and promote its program, being informed, first hand, of the results of the A. N. L. C. movement, the following comments are uttered in a neutral tone, based upon the actual propaganda and opinion being used for and against the movement. The propaganda of the A. N. L. C has a dual personality. It resembles that of the Marcus Garvey movement, and, at the same time, is not unlike that of W. Z. Foster (white) who heads up the so-called Workers' Party of America. In fact, says an organ of the American Federation of Labor. "Whitman has been delegated by the Workers (Communist) Party of America, which takes orders from the Russian Third International to organize an American Colored Labor Conference. It is the purpose to model the 'Congress' along the lines of W. Z. Foster's privately-owned Trade Union Educational League, and now that his (Foster's) buno game is playing out as a money getter among white folks, Foster has turned his attention to the colored-brethren and has begun an active campaign to sell his quack political nostrum to that class of American citizens." The propaganda of the A. N. L. C. University genuine relief to the working classes of the world, aiming at "imperialism" and holding itself forth as the curative of industrial oppression. From New York comes the rumor that A. N. L. C. is largely composed of unnaturalized West, Indians and other aliens who have no claim to the title "American." Foster's activities, now on the skids, are well remembered, and the impetus which the so-called communic wave gained in labor circles some years ago has died out. Then, too, it cannot be seen how any movement in the labor world which has aroused the ire of the American Federation of Labor, can hope to succeed. Nevertheless, the A. N. L. C. will be carefully watched by many groups of American workers; and if it is on the square it will receive support. On the other hand, if it is merely the vehicle of a deluded group which desires to pervert American labor institutions, it will, like its predecessors, be broken up on the rocks of safe and sane American solidarity, not perfect by any means, but the best that could be perfected up to this day and time. Illustrious Men, Carter G. Woodson—To live in the present and to review the records of the past is but to be prepared to lay plans for the future destinies of a people. At this time, the Anglo-Saxon progeny, with discerning eye, has with careful forethought bound its volumes of historic deeds, that those who run may read. It was not, however, until Dr. Carter G. Woodson, painstakingly been the laborious and scientific work of research into the human exudation from Africa that we have been able, with any degree of pride, to look into the past and fortify our researches against the "supremacy" club which the Anglo-Saxons have long had over the earth. Like Topsey, historically, we just But Dr. Woodson has woven into his pages of history sufficient facts, since the world that this dark continent of America, with its varied hues, can authentically point to the past with as much consolation as any other race. The work Dr. Woodson has performed has called for unending self-sacrifice. A poor boy, himself, engaged in the laborious work of the hand, he saw the vision of education, which ended - in his having conferred upon him the highest degree from America's most renowned university. He the third of those in ducing Negro history to practicable record form, in which work he is still engaged. After almost tearful persuasion to enlist the sympathy of others who saw the tremendous value and influence of Negro history, and amid trying difficulties, Dr. Woodson set himself to the trying task of compiling facts concerning the Negro, both in his native land and in America, and the pages which he had written out of the dark past of the Negro, in themselves, make one of the most signal services which any Negro has ever performed in 'behalf of his pe ple. Dr. Woodson's historical works are being used in many Negro schools in the United States. By right they should be absorbed by every living American Negro, who should see himself and his ancestors as Dr. Woodson see him and them. Dr. Woodson is a profound scholar, a Christian gentleman of high ideals, and one of our strongest proponents of unselfish service to the race. His life and his work are outstanding and are loved and cherished by all who have intrinsic pride in high endeavor and the unselfishness of real service The Skentic The Skeptic No greater baneful destroyer of racial hopes exists than the skeptic.—The brother who lacks confidence in himself is not race. We have not several different races. We have this member of the Four Horsemen, this it is both painful and pitiful to see him apply his extinguisher to the comfortable warmth of racial advancement. One skeptic, a physician said he never paid any attention to what he read in Negro newspapers, that it was all bunk, and he could get enough real news by reading the white dalles. Another, a Negro busk ness man said he had no use for Negro lawyers, all of whom were N. G. A modest, womanwoman whose rent was being raised every quarter or so, said she'd rather rent her to a agent; while another prominent doctor among his own practices "cut in" a white undertaker, when could. Still another skeptic said he did not have much use for colored dentists; and most of the brothers and sisters living near the young colored druggist on the corner, went down town for everything except ice cream sodas and postage stamps. Skepticism is the withering fire which is devastating to racial endeavor and economic independence. Its proponents continually cut off their noses to spite their faces, for some time or other skepticism comes home to roost, no matter how unwelcome it may be. It is readily admitted that charlatans quacks and inefficients are present in overwhelming numbers, a condition which exists among all racial groups. But this should bring no solace to the withering trail of the skeptic who here and there, dashes cold water on Negro business and Negro professional life. The skeptic is a simpure criminal, void of pride and soulless impotent, and he should be driven from the household of racial effort. For this is a day of optimism for those whose faces are set towards the day of economic emancipation. Professionals be equalized by consumers, and know they be given away to boosts. Else, what hope's our children have for future days? Shall they continue to be days of unnecessary doubt or days of greater solidarity among all the units of a struggling people, who need concentrated help from within as well as from without? William Jennings Bryan, now of Florida, ardent advocate of grape juice, free silver, 16 to 1, and counsel for the state in the Tennessee evolution case, has again taken to broadcasting. This time, we note, with some satisfaction, that the ex-Nebraskan has added the Constitution to his program, and upon the historic paragraph of that document the commoner has spoken long and earnestly; but, as usual without much logic. After sparkling references to the case of Dred Scott, the escaped Negro slave who in the fifties, although having reached a free state, was held to be subject to the laws of the slave state from which he had fled, Mr Bryan says: "Who made the courts? Who made the Constitution? The people! The people can change the Constitution, and if necessary they can change the decision of the court. One of two things is true of Mr. Bryan's little red wagon, at least so is that an adopted ballwick is concerned; and that is, either as in Genesis of old, the people rested after their arduous tasks of providing a magna charter for all the people, or else, as usual, Mr. Bryan is mistaken. We modestly think that probably the substitution of the words "Some of the people" would remove all chances of Mr. Bryan's having violated one of the sacred Commandments. At any rate, down in the Floridian everglades, some of the people are protected by the Constitution, and some—a very large "sum"—are not Testimony taken before the House Committee which investigated a Florida election showed that because some of the people wanted to have the privilege of the voting benefits of the Constitution, they were run out of the State; while others, on sort of a 1 to 16 plan, were beaten up and intimidated. And neither the courts nor the Constitution of Mr. Bryan's state gave fullest protection to those poor black people who merely sought the right of the electorate, that they might have a voice in the choices for public office to serve all—not some—of the people. Poor Mr. Bryan, used to defeat, mistaken though he is, would perform a national service in his fealty to the Constitution and to the people of Florida, and overglades of Florida, and reiterating states' statements there, at the same time, his fellow citizens to practice what he preaches. This might bring about as evolution in Florida far more valuable to the country at large than the one which Mr. Bryan is butting into in Sunny Tennessee. Elks' Grand Exalted Ruler Contest Waxing Warm Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK, July 15—With the approach of Angus, the Elks of the World, are turning their eyes toward Richmond. Reports reaching this city from all sections of the country indicate that the attendance will probably be the largest in the history of the order. There are two specific reasons; the well known hospitality of the people of Virginia in general, and the people of Richmond in particular, have contributed no mean part to a desire to enjoy a week's stay in Virginia's capital. Richmond is one of the outstanding cities of progress. "It is one of the pioneer cities of racial commercial progress. Richmond was doing "big business" when many other cities were simply thinking about it. Richmond has had some heart-breaking experiences in a business way, but has kept right on going. Just as the people of California got busy after an earthquake, so Virginia, Richmondites, meet the world with a smile, after a bank falls, for example; and the Richmond people keep right on banking with the race, establishing enterprises and building. Not every city is able to "keep on smiling" in the face of adversity, but Richmond is quite able. Richmond has a strong organization of Elks, who are stopping at nothing to make the coming of Elkdom a success. Gov. Lee Trinkle is expected to give the welcome address and he will unquestionably be there in person, as the Governor frequently appears before racial audiences, and has said some very encouraging things. The next big subject, which is creating unusual interest in Elkdom is whether there is to be a new Grand Exalted Ruler of the organization, or whether J. Finley Wilson is again to succeed himself. If he does, this will be his fourth term and the organization will have to admit that Wilson will have built the most formidable machine in the history of the organization. Wilson has organized many new lodges, and has been unusually active in the South, where other Grand Exalted Rulers have taken only casual interest. There is no galasaying, however, that Wilson will have the stiff opposition in his career. A number of the men who have been pioneers in the developing of the order, are sitting on a chance. Their claim is that Wilson is working for the interest of himself rather than the order, and at any rate, he should not be permitted to keep the "golden collar" for another term. Their claim is that it is not for the largest good of the Elks. The candidate who seems to be getting the benefit of this opposition, in the largest way, is T. B. Watkins of Kansas City, N. J. Men who have taken the Watkins' side of the contest are bringing reports to New York that he is "running like a house afire." Their claim is based not only on Watkins personal popularity, but executive ability as a business man. "They not a more popular man in America than Watkins," said one man who has just come from there "and-while we may have some claims for our own section, I am of the opinion that Watkins is the logical man at this time." Mr. Watkins is continuing to get personal encouragement from many sections of the country, says this same informant: He is so impressed with the encouragement, that he is devoting considerable personal attention to the possibilities of benefiting the order, should he be elected. He is strictly for a short term of office, and devoting the entire order on the most efficient basis. He is said to have remarked: "I consider the election of Grand Exertor as a trust of the most sacred kind, and I would devote my time to the welfare of the work, with all the personal qualifications I could command." Watkins is what may be termed a conservative progressive.
