ANOTHER INNOCENT COLORED MAN VICTIM OF MISSOURI LYNCHERS An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man IS MURDERED BY EXCELSIOR SPRINGS MOB Charge Of Attacking Girl Believed To Be "Frame-Up" Because He Threatened To Expose Gang Of Cattle Thieves. Shows No Signs Of Having Been Molested. Victim Is Surprised At Charge. Declares Innocence. Fights To Save His Life. EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo., Aug. 11.—Special to the Argus—It was a horrible day here last Friday when a mob of several hundred men, women and children took part in the tyingch of a colored man. The Cause of The Lynchings The Terrorists circumvented purporting to be the cause of the lynching chiefly those that of an attack on a white girl. But investigation by the writer indicates that nothing is farther from being the truth of the matter. It was a case where law enforcement had broken down. Horse and cattle thieving was very common, bootlegging, was rampant. The victim the mob was part of was violating its part was that of a hireling working under a white boss, generally known as the master mind or ring leader. Threats it is said, had been made by Mitchell, the mob victim, to "snitch" on the whole proceedings unless he was given more financial consideration for the part he played. This it is said caused a counter threat of the mob with a ring leader the ring leaders of the organized lawlessness. Thus things went on in a very unsatisfactory manner until last Friday when the opportunity came to "do away" with Mitchell. There is a deal of speculation as to just what took place on Thursday night while the girl and young man were out riding in the automobile. There were no scars or bruises to indicate that he had been assaulted with a flashlight as told in his story. Your informant did not see the young woman but reports she was around here. Not a scratch is to be seen on her face or neck. The young man Ull was generally known as a part of the gang of lawless elements and it was he who went to the rooming house and pointed out Mitchell as "the man wanted." Contrary to the report that Mitchell was found in a shack etc., he was not found in the rooming house, just back of the Albany Hotel, and once in the hands of the So-called law, the gang found it easy to circulate the false report of "attack on a white girl." When told of the attack on their daughter, parents were surprised and the alleged girl victim was at a lost to understand until "coached." "Believed To Be A Frame-up" There is no need to mention those interested in the case, but that the entire affair was a frame-up. Mitchell himself did not know what he was charged with until dragged from jail by the mob. He had sent for his boss, the leader of the gang to come and get him out. The story of his confession is merely a colled word. Every member of the mob knows that the protester his innocence was about was one of those who were driven away from the mob scene under threats of death, but was fortunate enough to see and hear some things that went on. There is a movement on foot here by the business men of the town to investigate this whole disgraceful affair. The people seem to be just awakening to what really happened here last Friday, August 9th. No one seems to be able to tell just how it all started. The people who are responsible stopped to ask whether the charges were true or not. Not even the officers. It was a word-to-mouth-court carrying conviction on very lip. It looked like the work of the Ku Klux Klan. Now that its over and the people have time to think there is a growing doubt among the citizens here as to the guilt of the accused. Many are out-spoken in their declarations. The boss of the victim who was the master mind of a ring of thieves and bootleggers, has left the town to parts unknown. A general suspicion rests on Ult, the companion of the girl on the night of the alleged attack. Those who are interested in law, enforcement say that if the official half do their duty some startling matter will be furious the country. **WARNING** In this design It will be remembered that James Scott was traced at Columbia, Mo. about 2 years ago after the alleged identification. Afterward the same girl identified another Nigerian as the one who had attacked her. This system is now serving a 20-year term. The St. Louis Axous ence in the penitentiary. As was with Scott, so the general belief with Mitchell. WAR ON CORRUPTNESS OF SCHOOL DISTRICT IN KANSAS CITY, MO Inter-racial Comm.

LABOR HEAD WOULD STOP NEGROUNION In Answer to Queries, Calls Negro Labor Congress A Trap, Refuses To Recognize Body. WASHINGTON, D. G., August 10.—A. F. L. Headquarters, Washington, D. C. "During the past few days, I (William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor) have received a number of letters and telegraphs asking if the American Federation of labor opposes of the American Negro Labor Congress led by the Workers' (Communist) Party to meet in Chicago, October 28. "The American Federation of Labor has not and will not approve of such a congress. It will not be held for the benefit of the Negro, but to instill into the lives of that race the most pernicious doctrine of race hatred. "Glittering phrases are used to stir the colored men one of the most Negroes did not come into the world with saddles on their backs nor the whites with spurs on their heels." Originated by Communists "The Negroes are led to believe that the dark races of the world are in rebellion against the whites and that all that they need to do is to form an American Labor Congress and all social, political and economic discrimination will be wiped out. "The Congress have headquarters in Chicago. They conduct a number of Communist organizations with interlocking directories that work under direction of Moscow, Russia. "Communism in America is com parable to the bell-wheel in the cotton fields. Both are imprisonations and equally injurious. "While the convention to be held is called the American Negro Labor Congress, behind the purpose of its originators is to mislead the colored men into believing that all their grievances will be remedied by overturem government of the United States, and obliterating a Soviet public—otherwise, the dictatorship of the proletariat. Race hatred will be encouraged to bring about this end." "A number of unions composed of colored men have been deceived into sending delegates. They have been led to believe they will attend a convention of Negroes. "The fact is that the convention was called by men who are not members of trade unions, or if they are, they do not attend the unions of which they are members. The organized labor movement is expelling communists as rapidly as they are found out, whether there cannot be more than a few of them, or if the country, they give an impression because of their noise that there are millions. "I wish to warn all Negro members of trade unions that they are being led into traps that will eventually be their undoing. WHITE BANDIT ESCAPES AFTER SLAYING NEGRO KANAS CITY, Mo.

The action of Police Judge Beck in the freezing of Charles Abernathy of a charge of disturbing the peace brought by E. A.

Two colored families were forced to move out of the building into which they had moved a few hours before. In response to the outlaws of the whites, James Jeffries, white, owner of the apartment on Wednesday morning stated, "Ten more colored families will be ready to move in today." Arrest Four Whites The riot calls were terminated in when the three hundred neighbors congregated in front of the apartment, which adjoin the Woodland. School on the northeast. The police found the apartment house dark. The crowd was shouting threats. The police arrested two men said to have been leaders, and two boys who had been distributing threatening handbills. The men, R. A. Clark, 2514 Peary avenue, and William Nail, 1843 East Seventh street, and the boys, M. L. Wilson, and James Wilson, 2003 East Seventh street, later were released on personal bonds.

Made Threats The ligature which the boys had distributed to the apartments into which the Negroes had moved read: "Second Notice of moved read and Occupants: Colored Tenants will not be tolerated in the Garland Place Property Owners." According to Miss Williams, the first notice to Negro tenants was issued last Friday night to three Negro families which had just moved in with promises of free rent for a week. The next morning the three families moved. The E. E. Pollman Realty Co., colored 1705 East Eighteenth street, had charge of the routing of the apartments. Voluntary Bans Although colorful protest all along East Seventh street up to the border of the 1800 block, it is believed that the voluntary segregation ban was placed on them by the white because they were expanding too far east, and approaching the Independence avenue district where a number of wealthy whites have homes. In a reply to an inquiry as to what he intended to do, Jeffries stated that he was determined to rent the apartments to Negroes and that he would engage guards if necessary. This declaration was received with defiance by white neighbors in the district who promised not to cease their fight to keep Negroes away. Jeffries was promised police protection by Chief William Shreve. He said that he purchased the Garland apartment months ago from T. G. Hill with the intention of renting it to colored and that the carried $67,000 insurance on it. The Garland apartment building was one of the achievements of the building boom of INST.

JUDGE BECK DISMISSES CASE AGAINST ABERNATHY Police Judge Beck, City Court No. 2 dismissed counter charges of Peace Disturbance against Chas, Alternary, a real estate dealer and Edna McMahon (white) president of the so-called Page Improvement Association. The case grew out of the renting of a certain piece of property by colored people on Evans avenue, which was opposed by certain whites in the neighborhood. According to the testimony by Abernethy about the property which had been damaged by vandals, and was accosted by McMahon, who proceeded to upbraid him for selling property in the neighborhood to Negroes, which resulted in a peace disturbance and cross charges. When the case was called Tuesday before Judge Beck, McMahon and his witnesses together with City Counselor, O'Donnell attempted to prejudice the case in their favor by injecting the race question. The court, in the course of representing Abernethy objected, but O'Donnell insisted and Judge Beck allowed the case to proceed. Phillips took advantage of the ruling and showed that animus and race prejudice was at the bottom of the whole matter. In dismissing the charges, Judge Beck said, "I believe what this colored man has said. The colored people of this country with three million of his people ought to be helped by the white better their conditions and not mishindered. The use of the law is not to foster race prejudice, but to unhinder the law." Many who heard him, expressed surprise at the fairness with which Judge Beck handled a case of this kind. Big apprehension any judge and be knock at your door if you keep guilt self with little hope.

Community Conference at Frankfort, Ky., at which Mima Eva was the Executive. They report their pleasant and enjoyable meeting. There were one hundred fifty-five delegates in all, thirty-nine assuella- tions being represented from seven teen states. A wonderful spirit exhibited throughout the entire state was gathered by who attended. The theme of this year's meeting was "The Purpose of the Association." Among the contributions of the St. Louis was a leaflet called: "The Gleam," which was highly appreciated and eagerly sought after by members of the Reference, Miss Elinor Hall, the Chair of the Delegation, was elected a member of the Executive Council and, as usual, made a very worthwhile contribution during her stay. Miss Elinor Purden was a "much sought after" Gypsy fortune teller at the picnic. Mrs. Clairetha Barrett was the sweet singer of the group, while Mrs. McFarrell took the role of the Business and Industrial Girl's Exhibit, Miss Artila Taylor was the moving spirit in Recreation Committee. The Gift Reserves, Misses Setorkas Morrison and Elnor Hall were members of the Conference orchestra and made quite a hit. Mrs. M. D. Young was the chairman of the secretarial group and took responsibility in the numerous symbolic gestures in the closing night. Miss Pauline V. Massey was the registrar of the entire group. The Conference unanimously voted as the best ever and its influence will be felt more and more as the days go by. Mr. M. D. Young, Executive Secretary, is now on her vacation, a part of which will be spent in Chicago. "KISMFT $ URBAN LEAGUE PLAY TO BE GIVEN AT THE OBEON, EARLY IN NOV The Urban League through its Executives' Secretary, Gordon E. Simpson, announces its fourth annual production held at the Odeon Theatre, Friday, November 6th. The play will be "Kismet," an Arabian Night in three acts and ten scenes. The cast will require almost 100 people. "Kismet" is undoubtedly the most missed production ever attempted by colored amateur artists anywhere in the country. Like a lost story of the Arabian Nights which has been lately rediscovered, the splendid Oriental imagery of "Kismet" intoxicates the brain. In a brilliant series of sundrenched pictures the East swims out on the printed pages. "Hajj, the begnar, whose part was remarkably played in American by Otis Skinner, is the hero of the story. In a single day he carries, with a sangroid that is magnificent, the whole world of temple buildings, his poetry, its comedy—upon his broad shoulders. The hazards, high spirits, fatalism and wild achievements of the characters in this extraordinary play, are no parallel outside of the imagination of Eastern table makers. The cast for the play will be selected from all available local talent. In order to give every one an opportunity to quality, trucs will ST. LOUIS TO THE FRONT ST. LOUIS TO THE FRONT be held for the cast the latter part of this month. Rehearsals will commence early in September, and it is planned to train the cast thoroughly, well in advance of the time for production. In order to assure a capacity house for the play, special prizes will be awarded to the individual or organization turning in the largest amount of money from the sale of tickets. For details of the ticket selling contest together with other information of the play will be published next week. The play will be given for the benefit of the Urban League building Fund.

Butterbeers and Susie are the featured attraction. This team of fun-makers is making its usual big hit with songs, screaming comedy conversations and eccentric doings. Annie White, a little black faced comedienne, opens the show with a song and dance act that keeps the audience going from her first appearance on the stage. She is adept with the "Charleston" dance. Edward Thompson and Evelyn Preer have a domestic drama that is in keeping with their excellent talent. Miss Preer works into their family difficulties their Sunshine cte," and brought them to Sunshine cte," and brought them to Sunshine cte," and they have a disobliging chair that borders on the sensational and takes the house by storm. Lillian Goodner and May Williams, female team, sing, dance and have a cross fire of humor that is entertaining, and leave the stage amid applause. IDA COX ON THE B. W. BILL NEXT WEEK Ila Cox, the favorite blues record singer and actress, assisted by Jessie Crump, composer and pianist, will feature the bill at the Booker-Washington next week. Joe Simms and "Topo" Warfield will be seen in a dancing act. Cheo Deemond and T. J. Jewell of Lafayette Players fame will offer a comedy dramatic sketch. Laffey, Morton and Evon Robinson, singers and dancers of artistic class, will round out a bill that should be a big winner. Monday will be "Pay Day" for the pair's usual. Robt. Russell Taylor, better known on the stage as "bob. Russell" died at City Hospital No. 2 last Saturday. It had been hoped that the talented show producer would recover from the stroke of paralysis he suffered, and a handsome sum to detray medical expenses in a private hospital had recently been given him through a Midnight Rumble at the Booker Washington Theatre. Bob was considered the most successful trainer of young stage talent in the country and many of the leading performers of today owe their beginning to his instructions. He was considered strong asset by theatre owners. Mr. Taylor was 47 years old at his death and was a resident of Washington, D. C., where his wife, daughter, two grand children and an aunt reside. He professed religion and joined as a Baptist in Hot Springs, Ark. Funeral services were held over the remains at Calvary. Bapt. church on Morgan street. Thursday afternoon and the body was taken to Greenwood cemetery for burial. His wife was his constant companion until the end, and his daughter came to the funeral. An abundance of beautiful floral tokens symbolized the last sad respects of those who knew him. These included a pillow "Our Brother," from the colorful actors of Washington, D. C. A touching obituary, written by Mrs. C. Derrick, was read at the funeral. THE PICTURE THEATRES Davis Kenyon and David Powell head the cast in "Lend Me Your Husband" at the Stai Theatre this Saturday. It is set in the gorgeous homes of society and deals with the continual "leading" of husbands and other such things by a society belle whose beauty and charm allow her to get away with her pranks. While this is but a bare skeleton of the major situation of the photoplay, the story gradually ascends to a smashing climax which makes for very interesting photoplay material. "The Adventurous Sex" will be the Sunday main feature, Clara Bow"s the heading star in this picture of life as it is really encountered by, the flippers and their male counterparts. Their gay parties, their anorous encounters, their adventures on heretofore forbidden grounds are said to be presented in a sympathetic but interesting and dramatic manner. Roy Stewart will also be seen in "Keith of the Border." William Desmond will be present in "Straight Through" on Monday. The first episode of the adventure series, "Perils of the Wind" will also be shown. Pete Morrison will be seen in "Always Ridin to Win" and another feature, "Women Who Give" by John Hoxie in a sensational Indian drama "The Red Rider" will be the Wednesday offering. The attraction for next Thursday and Friday will be Laura LaPlante in "The Teaser," supported by Pat O'Malley. It is a broad comedy romance crammed with screamingly funny situations revolving around a flapper with a flirtation complex and a cigar salesman with a thirst for knowledge of etiquette and a jealous heart. THE RETINA Wyatt-and-Hodge's "Dixie Dandy Minstrel," a combined show, will be the feature at the Retina Skydome this Friday and Saturday. The company is large and includes the "Moonshine" Quartette and a Jazz Band. The show is replete with good singing and dancing, comedy, pretty girls and snappy costumes.

The Monday feature at both places will be Rin-Tim-Tim, the dog actor, in "Tracked in the Snow Country."

"Black Lightning," with "Thunder," the dog star, will be the Sunday special. There are many exciting climates in this latest of dog stories. The scenes are laid in the hills of Kentucky. Most of the action centers around a feeble dog named Larry, Lamar, Charming little Clara Bow, who is the only woman in the cast, has a part far from any she has ever played. "Meddling Women," on Monday; "A Broadway Butterfly," and "The Bad Man," on Tuesday; and "The Man on Wednesday are all slick specials. The attraction for Thursday and Friday, will be Conway Tearle and Claire Windsor in "Just a Woman." It is a tensely dramatic episode of life in a big Pennsylvania steel mill.

The story is in three episodes and centers about a young musician who wanders from Paris and Italy to Port Said, thence to the South Sea Islands, where the daughter of an English father and a native mother supplies the inspiration for him to write a symphony which becomes world famous.

M. and the state Convention of the Mo Dept. American Legion during the past week was the cause of much activity in Springfield, Mo. Representatives from all sections of the state attended the opening session of the Grand Lodge Monday, August 10. Annual reports, election and installation of officers in the R. A. M. was the order of business for Monday, Tuesday, the Kukulcan Templars assembled in full dress, Grand C. G. Wm Butler in command. General inspection by Grand Inspector W. H. Kukulcan, which was very rigid. After regular order of business, election of officers for the closing year were next in order, and in recognition of efficient service rendered during the past year, all of the colleges of the Grand Community were elected unanimously. The number of opening the latter for the election was designated by Sir H. J. Jones, who is known among the members of the University as the Mater of the Grand Communicary. Wednesday morning the Grand Lodge opened for the transitional business of that body. After which the election of officers will be held, which promises to be a plurified contest presiding in behalf of Hog F. D. Debney of Kane City, and Jill H. H. Walker, 65, Loveland, Mo. The state companion of the American Legion was largely attended, and was held in the museum of the St. Thomas Temple, which is rated to be one of the most beautiful temples in the West. The Wayne Minor Post of Kansas City was represented by one delegate. While the few legionnaires and all the service men of St. Louis, Mo. were represented by Alta. Robert N. Owen of Tom Powell Post. Major memorials were considered and action was taken for the benefit of all service men and their dependants and it is still held for the few who have served hard for the principles of the American Legion to have the much needed support of the thousands of ex-service men who are not members. The next state convention will be held in Moldery, Mo. in 1926. Aside from the interest in the meeting of the Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. M. and the convention of "The American Legion, the best thing the writer found in Springfield was a ticket away, for each time the public square was passed, and the light tower in the center was gazed upon, grumes and hideouts memories of a short time ago, presented itself, whard lawlessness, disorder and pepo rite reigned, as it did a few days prior, and as it was joined by an amusement as to the intimacy of the sheers of the day, and wonderment as to how long might will be the master of right. The reorganization committee in charge of the Bate Excursion Monday night, August 11, under the auspices of Catin Hide-Post has devised a plan whereby 1000 tickets will be given to the indies in the contest for three, of the Ambrian Legion. The tickets will be given to the indies in recognition of the valuable assistance rendered to the Post in the membership drive and band reorganization. Applicants for tickets can obtain full information by calling Mekne Jones, James, Commander, 4250 W. Cook avenue. Phone number: Delaware 4119 W. GET BONUS BLANKS Through the kindness of Honorable L. C. Dover, the St. Louis Argus will distribute blanks to all former service men of the World War, who desire to make appeals for bonus under the warfare free and can be laid fast, for the asking. Nobby service can also be had. URBAN LEAGUE NOTES Employment Department One of the queen features about employment is that the people most affected seem to be the least interested and ask fewer questions than those whose livelihoods are fairly well assured. The average person who comes to a job asks to get a job, needs risk about labor conditions. They often refuse to wait, four months from today, will be consulted a life save. To what extent the Negro laborer with suffer this winter cannot be foretold. The most optimistic however, do not hold out too much hope for the situation. Much depends on weather conditions. In going about the city one notices that large numbers of men are working on a single construction job. This may indicate an effort to get the building in shape before cold weather. There are many bundles of Negro laborers who are thrown out of employment about the middle of November. What these men are going to do then one does not like to predict. At present, there is an abundance of common labor available to those who want it. On the contrary, other forms of labor are extremely hard to find. August shows less promises than any month to date this year.

Parley United that Bob Lavy, manager of Sikh, had appeared before the commission and had given his promise that the Senegalese boxer would be out of the country within a month. It was learned inter that what actually prompted the promise of Sikh's hasty departure from America was an investigation, recently instigated by Commissioner Henry H. Curran, head of the Immigration Bureau. Commissioner Curran informed the board that when Sikh, first came to this country a year ago it was the understanding that he would remain only for a mouth. As a result, the immigration authorities considered it high time Sikh again was on his way. The manager had been summoned before the Senate's recent disqualification for "downing" in a boat at the Commonwealth Club. No action was taken when Levy assured the board that Sikh would be on the high seas inside a month. His disease was not revoked. Chairman Farley said, because the board did not want to deprive Sikh of the opportunity of making matches in Europe if he desired.

All drivers who started re- ceived $60 consolation money'. It is said that at no time in the history of the Fair Grounds have so many people attended a single point, that the Gold and Glory Stadiums were the most national institution was attested by the presence of people from every point in the country who had come in for this particular event. Prizzi were awarded at the Speedway Hall in Exposition Hall following the races when several hundred people gathered to dance. Prizzi were $1250, $500, $250 and $150. The fact that no person was injured on the grounds nor was there any friction or annoyances witnessed is considered a splendid testimonial to the efficiency and thoroughness of the Indianapolis Colored Speedway directors and the class of drivers appearing. The 1926 Gold and Glory Sweepstakes will be improved in every way says the management.

FINKEL STARS HOME FOR SERIES WITH A,B,C's St. Louis Club Made Good Showing Against Kansas City And Look More Like Pennant Winners Than Ever Before This Season NOW TIED WITH THE AMERICAN GIANTS Boys Will Go After All Of The A. B. C. Games While Rube's Club Is Battling The Monarcas The St. Louis Stars and the Indiana Pacers, B. C.'s will open a series of five games in Stars Park this Saturday. This series finds itself of much importance to the Stars, as any they have played this season. Our boys are just shock from Kansas City where they played the world champions, off their feet, but somehow let four games just slip away or rather bended them to their hosts. One, however did not count because it ended in a tie, but the tying was actually done by the Stars after they, and the game won. The "Tikks" just would not leave them alone. So they find themselves tied with these pesky American Giants for first place, because the Windy City aggregation was sitting plty' with the Red Sox so their guys. However, the scene has changed. President Rube and his boys will be struggling on Muchhelenh's green against the foxy Monarchs, while Jimmy Taylor' lads will be handing out goose eggs to the Hooldens. If Foster gets one of the four games in Kansas City, he can hand' with himself And then, he must come to its at last. The Stars are going after all five of the Indiana pandas games, Mr. Gurley included. The fans are screening for "Fire Up," and the boys are determined to deliver. Although they had to let loose three hard fought contests to the Monarchs, they were not disgraced. They surely made the champions hustle, after Sunday's game the fans were afraid to cheer until the last man was out in the last timing. The Stars look more like a preeminent winner today than ever before this season. Today Brown has proven a real pitcher. For seven innings he did not allow the Monarchs a hit Wednesday; and he only lost the game because of an error. Davies was not off in Kansas City, but Henley and Branahan showed up good. These four pitches can now be depended upon to bring the flag, to St. Louis. The games at Stars' park will be called at 3 p.m., and Tuesday will be full of fans. TWELVE HUNDRED PANS FOLLOW STARS TO K. O. Twelve hundred baseball fans poured into Kansas City last Sunday morning to see their pets play ball nearly three hundred miles from home. It was the biggest demonstration of royalty ever staged in this country and was a regulation to the western Missouri city. Now they are getting ready to come to St. Louis on the Bird, and really expect to bring at least half as many as visited them. They will see the Stars and American Giants the up, but they will be Missouri Boosters. ST. LOUIS ALMOST SURE TO HAVE PENNANT GAME: wing to the fact that the Kaupse City Blues, of the American Association, will close their season at home this year, the Monarchs will be unable to use the park for a pennant series; if same is necessary. Therefore the games will be divided between St. Louis and Chicago parks; if other games will be played between the 6th and 20th of September. League Standing NEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pet. ST.

Only Contest They Earned Was The 3 To 0 On Monday KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 12 — The St. Louis Stars went down to defeat over the Kansas City Monarchs in game 1 of the 19th inning. The Monarchs ever witnessed in this city. In the five games played here, ending today, the St. Louis boys were never beaten until the first man was out in the ninth inning. Kansas City won three out of four games decided, one being a tie after the visitors staged a sensational rally that swept the home team off its cost with 8 runs in one timing and five in another. The Monarchs' victories were by narrow margins. Saturday's 5 to 4, Monday's 2 to 0 and Wednesday's 3 to 2. On Saturday Wells gave Kansas City the game by his attempt to rpg McNeil down and throw the ball too hard to Bela, covering home plate. On Monday the Stars had men on second and third with no one out, two different times, but could not put over the punch to drive them in. On Wednesday, Irus sell jet, if fly drop that would have meant a St. Louis victory. The Monarchs could not get a hit off Brown until the 8th inning. The following are reports of the games. A MONARCH VICTORY IN TENTH McNair Scores Whaling Run After Heing Caught Off Third Saturday - In a game featured by brilliant fielding and delayed several times as the result of arguments, the McNairs trained the league-leading St. Louis club in the first of a 5-game series, 5 to 4, in four innings. The winning run came with one down in the tenth. McNair led off with a double and moved to third on an infold out. Ross, the visiting hurler, caught the runner, flat-footed off third, but in the rundown McNair crossed the plate safely when the ball was dressed at home. For seven innings Hensley and C. Bell, the starting pitchers, waged a buildup, duel with neither having a great advantage. In the domestic hall of the stanza, the home club filled the bases with two down. The next hitter tapped gently to the infield, but Bobo, the St. Louis first baseman, failed to touch the base, and the two players scored. A long argument followed and ended only when police escorted Manager Taylor and one of his assistants from the field. The visitors, however, came back with two runs in the eighth, but again lost the lead in the same innings. With two down in the pitch, St. Louis returned third and first. Dinkie, who had replaced C. Bell, attempted to catch the runner off first and J. Bell, the runner on third, made a dash for home and reached their safely when Duneau dropped a perfectly good throw from Mothel. The Monarchs failed to score in their half of the innings and the game went into extra innings. # The Box Score ST.

Unprepared "Pai" Boys stopping play when the two team finished the regulation distance with the score when As a ball game it was a great en- tertainment with all the thrills of a track meet. When the home club forged ahead with eight runs in the second game, a majority figured the game was over, but the visitors raked with the same number in the third. The deadlock was broken in the fourth when the Monarchs scored three runs. They soon added another and had a comfortable lead in the ninth, but the St. Louis club refused to quit, count- ing fire runs in the ninth stanza and taking a 2 run lead. This quickly adced when the home club hited with an error for a pair of runs in their half of the inning. /THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS. FRIDAY.

Robert Shields, missionary, of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Lords, Africa, reports that the health authority of the Portuguese government has ordered all owners of native huts in villages which suffered from the bubonic plague last year to tear down and burn up their thatched roofs. It seems that these old grass roofs are a favored hurking place of the rats which carry the plague. Hundreds of villages are now recovering their roofs with new grass, and Mr. Shields thinks that this sanitary measure will prove effective in preventing a return of the plague this year.

THAT LYNCHING AT EXCELSIOR SPRINGS The hanging of a Negro at Excelsior Springs a few days ago by a mob, is just another expression of disregard for law and order on the part of a certain class of white people when the rights of Negroes are concerned. It was not as some have been pleased to call it, "an outburst of righteous indignation on the part of the people of the community against a dastard crime," but deliberate murder planned and worked out in the minds of a few leaders whose purposes may never be expressed in words or language. These leaders have learned by experience just the sort of story to tell to arouse the mob spirit in a community. They also know that nothing will be done to them by way of prosecution, nor will the local officers have courage enough to defend their victim at the risk of their own lives. Hence, the lynching at Excelsior Springs was done in a cool, deliberate fashion in the light of the noonday sun without a member of the mob wearing a mask; nor was there any attempt made to hide the faces of anyone in the mob. We wonder just how these people will feel toward each other when they hear them swear that they will "tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God," and get on the stand and tell all kinds of lies. Of course, the participants in the lynching, are depending wholly upon the lies of the rankest sort to save them from the punishment. There is no doubt in our mind but that every tongue is ready to swear falsely. This will, no doubt, serve the present needs, but in the future, will they respect each other? Just as they have sworn against an innocent Negro, so will they, at some time or at some turn of the game, swear against each other. The local Alliance of Postal Employees is to be congratulated for having succeeded in having its President, W. O. Wilhoit, elected President of the National body at the Biennial meeting which was held at Washington, D. C., recently. The men of the local organization, for the most part, are those who have rendered the Postal Department long and efficient service in a most unselfish way, always loyal and devoted to their work. Those who have watched this service can't but wonder why it is that these men do not win promotion along with their long service as men of color in other cities. Should we venture to say that they were held back because of their color, it would meet a strong denial on the part of the Postal authorities, but the conditions remain the same. In Baltimore, there are two Negro Supervisors in the Post Office; in Chicago, there are three Supervisors; and one Superintendent of a Sub-station. In Boston, there is one Superintendent of Mails, and at New York, there is one Asst. Superintendent of Mails. At Indianapolis, one Chief Examiner. The enumeration of the above is merely to draw a comparison between St. Louis and some of the other cities of the country. Inquiry among the men who have won and received these promotions in several cities shows that promotion in the service depends entirely upon the local postmasters. If he wills and recommends, the men get their promotions according to service. If our information on this question is correct, then we turn our attention again to our local Postmaster, Mr. Alt, and make the appeal to him in the name of justice and right, to look carefully into the records of the colored men who have served apparently so faithfully for lo! these many years without receiving promotions to those higher places of honor and responsibilities. We believe that every man in the service should feel that as he serves along with others rendering efficient and honest service, that there is no bar to keep him from being promoted, along with others to like positions. Surely there have been one or two colored men in the St. Louis Post Office who have merited such places as have been given men of color in other cities. It would be hard to convince any rational person that the colored men in St. Louis are not equal to the responsibility—what do you say, Mr. Alt? POST-DISPATCH ON LYNCHING Commenting on the recent lynching at Excelsior Springs, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said: "So long as the crime for which the Negro Mitchell was guilty is committed, so long as disrespect for law and lack of confidence in the promptness and certainty of results, in court proceedings prevail, and so long as mob psychology instead of reason rules, occasional lynchings will occur." As we said in these columns recently, we now repeat, that lynchings are not based upon the crime committed. Lynchings in the United States are directed at a certain race of people. Namely, Colored. The white people commit twenty times more crimes of the same sort that the Negroes are lynched for, but seldom, very seldom is a white person lynched. When a Negro is accused, nine times out of ten, the accusation is sufficient to establish guilt according to mob psychology. Thus, many innocent Negroes have been put to death by mobs in America. The argument advanced by the Post that, fear on the part of the mob that punishment will not be meted out to the accused is bunk, pure and unadulterated. The Post knows that in communities where lynchings occur, the courts of these communities work hand and glove with mobs, and a colored man, accused of certain crimes coming before such courts, is merely carried through a form of a trial. In other words, a mob verdict awaits him. Mob violence should be discouraged by all agencies that are working for the uplift of humanity, because mobs act without reason. There are those who complain most of unfavorable conditions as they affect our people generally, but do less to help remedy them. What are you doing to help them? This means you. Don't forget that whenever you hear a colored man making an apology for the Ku Klux Klan, watch that man. He is either a fool or a knave. Self-help is the best help. We wonder where were the injured parties last Monday night, as they were conspicuous by their absence from the Mass Meeting at St. Paul Church. Peace! peace! is the cry of to-day, but there shall be no peace as long as one race tries to dominate another in an unrighteous way.

It is very gratifying to those who knew Dr. Turner to see this recognition of his contribution" to the Biological Science. Perhaps 'there has not been an instance where a proverb "A proverb is a proverb" has been used in his own home," than in the case of Dr. Turner. It is to be regretted that those with whom he was associated in his work for so many years could not or did not recognize the exceptional ability and outstanding contribution which Dr. Turner was making in his daily efforts. Men frequently have a deep world, but this should not be possible without also receiving recognition, of those immediately associated with ones who has achieved great things. The Board of Education's decision to honor Dr. Turner in this way is a gratifying recognition of his service and of his contribution to the knowledge of plant and animal life, as well as to the field of child behavior. The next step in honoring Dr. Turner should be a memorial bust to be placed in the corridors of the Charles Henry Turner School with a suitable biography of his life, in order that the children who attend this school and those who visit. It may know of the sacrificial life of Dr. Charles Henry Turner. JUNIOR IDEA Edited by LORETTA B. OWENS EDITOR'S NOTES The Love of Nature It is strange to observe the callousness of some men before whom all the glories of heaven and earth pass in daily succession, without touching their hearts, elevating their fancy, or leaving any durable remembrance. Even of those who pretend to sensibility, how many are there to whom the luster of the rising or setting sun, the sparkling concave of the midnight sky, the mountain forest, tossing and roaring to the storm, or warbling with all the melodies of the summer evening; the sweet interchange of hill and dale, shade and sunshine, grove, lawn and water, which an extensive landscape offers to the views the scenery of the ocean, so majestic and so tremendous, and the many pleasing varieties of the animal kingdom and vegetable kingdom could never afford so much real satisfaction as the steams and noises, of a ball room, the insipid fiddling and squeaking of an opera, or the vexations and wranglings of a card table. But some minds are of a different make, which, even in the early part of life, receive from the contemplation of nature a species of delight which they would hardly exchange for any other and who would with equal sincerity and rapture exclaim: "I dare not. Fortune, what you desire." You cannot rob me of free nature's grace. You cannot shut the windows of the sky Through which Aurora shows her brightening face; You cannot bar my constant feet to trace The woods and lawns by "living streams at eye" Such minds have always in them the seeds of true taste and frequently of imaginative genius. At least, the their enthusiastic or visionary turn of mind, as the man of the world would call it, should not always incline them—to practice poetry or painting, we need not scruple to affirm that, without some portion of this enthusiasm, no person ever became a true poet or painter. For he who would imitate the works of nature, must first accurately observe them, and accurate observation is to be expected from those only who take pleasure in it. To a mind thus disposed, no part of creation is indifferent. In the crowded city and howling wilderness, in the cultivated province and solitary isle, in the flowery lawn and craggy mountain, in the murmur of the rivulet and in the roar of the ocean, in the radiance of summer and gloom of winter, in the thunder of heaven, in the whisper of the breeze, he still finds something to arouse or soothe his imagination to draw forth his affections or to employ his understandings. And from every mental energy that is not attended with pain, and even from some of those that are, as moderate terror and pity, a sound mind derives satisfaction: exercise being equally necessary to the body and soul, and to both, equally productive health and pleasure.

(Continued) In 1900 there were 2,143,176 colored engaged in agricultural industry, but in 1910 there were 2,893,874. In 1900 there were 1,329,160 colored people engaged in domestic and personal service, but in 1910 there were only 1,099,715, a loss of 229,445. There were, in 1910, 275,154 race people engaged with manufacturing and mechanical activity, while in 1910 there were 704,174. Colored were own more than 1,676,515,864 in farms or a total of 705,070 (and more) farms. We can not close without taking a glance at the progress of the Negro race along the patriotic lines. The C. Y. ABERNATHY REAL ESTATE COMPANY colored race has ever been patriotic; Many Negroes were freed because of their patriotism in the Revolutionary War. It is estimated that there was an average of 735 colored soldiers in each white regiment. August 24, 1778, there were 3,000 colored soldiers in this war, 775 of them, no doubt, were slaves. It was a Negro who shot and mortally wounded Major Pittsburgh in the battle of Bunker Hill. He was Peter Salent by name. Commodore Perry spoke highly of the bravery and conduct of the colored soldiers under his command in the battle of Lake Erie in 1812. The four Negro regiments were among the first troops ordered to the front during the SpanishAmerican War and they marked themselves with more distinction than ever before. At the first battle in Cuba, Las Guasimas, the tenth calvary distinguished itself by coming to the support of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders. But Peter Bigstaff wrought the finest piece of soldierly devotion and heroic comrade in the war. He was an ambushed attack of Carrizal by 700 Mexican soldiers that has been known in modern warfare. There were almost ten Mexican to one Americans. The Mexicans used a machine, gun, but the "black" soldiers charged on them and killed their commander. Two of the three American officers were killed, the other, grounded; seventen of the soldiers were killed and twenty-three captured, but the few that remained fought 'till they thinned the swooping circle of, over-ruling odds before them. In the meantime Lieutenant Henry Adair's gun was shot from his hand, after which another was replaced—but for no use. He was soon shot to pieces, but his last words to his "black" soldiers were "Leave me and give your life." He was then the Negro soldier adopted in the rage of that peril to render his loyal services to his white officer. Seeing that he was dead and lying in water, the Negro lifted up his officer, leaned him against a tree and left him there. - By Kewpie Oriel Westberry.

FOUR THOUSAND COLORED IN EPISCOPAL SCHOOLS NEW ORLEANS, LA, August 9.—Reports of the Negro training schools comprised up the American Church institute will be given at the general convention of the Episcopal Church meeting October 7, in New Orleans. Most of these schools have farms attached, giving practical agricultural training to the boys and girls. The schools also teach carpentering, mechanics, shemamaking and read-building for the boys and dressmaking cooking and general house work for the girls. There is also a nurse training school for Negro women at Raleigh, N. C. During the past year 3673 students were enrolled in the ten school of filmmaking with the institute, and in addition 3552 students attended the summer schools and farmers' conferences. In the high school grade 947 were enrolled. There were 136 graduates from the ten institutions. Since the schools were, founded 36,000 students have been enrolled of whom more than 2000 have graduated either from the high school or the industrial schools or from both. PORTER SLAYS OFFENDER CHICAGO, ill., August 15—Otto N. Berndt, Jr., millionaire officer of a light company, was shot and killed Friday by Joseph Marle Busch, a native of San Domingo. Busch, who was employed by the light company as a porter, was considered mentally deficient. His dress and actions had led other employees to "kid" him at times. He appeared utterly indifferent after he had killed his employer. Asked for a reason, he said Mr. Berndt had "furt his feelings" by smiling at his fantastic, garb and exaggerated style of conversation. "Do you think it reasonable to kill a man simply because he hurts your feelings?" the police asked. "duree" he replied as he carefully brushed back his mop of dark hair. IMMORAL USE OF GIRLS LAID TO WHITE FIENDS HIGH POINT, N. C., August 12.—An investigation is being made here in hops of uncovering the "girl slay ring" following an attack on two colored girls, Mara Whitted, 14 and Estella Malond, 18, by two white men thought to be leaders of such a rendezvous. One of the raplats, John Doe, was captured and given a sentence of 60 days, while the other escaped. The men accosted the girls on their way to the house, and forced them to submit to their abuse, threatening their lives with a pistol. Several young girls have disappeared in this vicinity. It is believed that they are held in captivity by white morons. A thorough search for a likely existing resort is being perpetrated. 50,000,000 INSURED IN U. S. NEW YORK, August 12—Fifty million persons in the United States, nearly half the population of the country, carry life insurance, it was announced Monday by the Prudential Life Insurance Company, of Newark. They pay annual premiums, amounting to $2,500,000,000 for policies with an aggregate value of $64; 000,000,000. Fire insurance premiums, it was announced further by the report, which is made up from the records of 345 underwriting companies, amount to $713,293,549. annually for policies aggregating $118,500, 000,000.. The annual premiums paid for other classes of insurance, the report also states, are as follows: Ocean marine, $30,612,081; international and marine, $24,223,280; wind, wind storm and cyclone, $26,019,250; paddle glass, $16,250,902; hall, $13,918,818; steam boiler, $10,122,278; riot, civil commotion and explosions, $4,470, 272, and collisions (exclusive of automobile), $1,681,601. THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO BLAMES ACTS OF PEOPLE FOR PREJUDICE Writer Claims That Humans Are Not Born With Tendencies To Hate One Another; But Acquire Them The question of prejudice is one of environment and not one of heredity according to the conclusions drawn by a writer for the Northwestern Christian Advocate, an outstanding church journal. In the article the author refers to prejudice as a thing manufactured as any commodity in daily use and denounces the idea that a man is born with hatred in his body for his fellowmen of a different nationality from his. The article read in part: "On a recent morning a newspaper reader of our acquaintance discovered two items of news in the city paper he thinks he can afford to take: "One item told that a student of Michigan University, DeHart Hubbard by name, had smashed the world's record in the running broad jump, with a leap of 25 feet, 10 7.9 inches. "Another told of an attack on a storekeeper by a thief, who shot at and wounded him, and then made off with the contents of the cash register. "The day before, the same newspaper reader had heard a highly-trained choir, in one of Methodism's most famous churches; as it sang with exquisite tenness a pleading and wistful composition 'Listen to the Lambs'." Race Given In Crime Case "Now it happens that the athlete was a Negro, the robber was a Negro, and the composer of the music was a Negro. "The point is that this was mentioned only once. Guess when? "We have no objection to the fact of his race being told when a Negro goes wrong than we should have if the paper gave similar information where a Jew, a Yermonter and a Czechoslovak were implicated. But we do wonder why it should seem necessary at one time and not at another. "Neither do we ask that a Negro composer shall be announced as such. It is enough that he is a musician. "But if 'Negro' must always go on the debit side of the account; fair play suggests that the credit side might also use the word." "These reflections may throw a modest ray of light on the oculation that Negroes are lawless far beyond the average of races. A Synonymous Case "He was an observant man who said: 'in six months I could make this country a most uncomfortable place for red headed men if I were permitted, whenever a red headed man happened to become, a lawbreaker, to state in the newspapers that he had red hair; always supposing that the hue of every other lawbreaker's hair should never be mentioned." "Especially, we venture to add, if, whenever a redheaded man did anything praiseworthy, all reference to his red headedness were studiously avoided." By Daniel W. Chase Associated Negro Press Anthony Trollope, the celebrated English novelist, after touring South Africa, seven years ago, wrote: "South Africa is a country of black men—and not of white men. It has been so; it is so; and will continue to be so. The important person in South Africa is the Kniller and the Zulli, the Bechuana and the Hottentot—not the Dutchman or the Englishman." At the time of this, writing, fortune hunters were pouring into what is now called Kimberley, drawn thereby the discovery of diamonds. As is usual within a very short time new towns sprang up. The Boer War too left thousands of settlers in the subcontinent, and Trollope's verdict was forgotten. Then there was considerable written about 'the great White nation that would be housed between the Cape and the Zambesi'. This is talked of today. Why not? Is not Africa one of the richest places in the world? White thinkers on the Continent are growing uneasy about South Africa, and the question is asked seriously whether or not the white race or a white civilization can hold its own in South Africa. It is a well-known fact that after more than two hundred years of colonization by the white man, South Africa is still a country of black men, and what Europeans consider worse, it is becoming relatively more and more a country of black men. Colored people are increasing far more rapidly than the white. Fifty years ago, according to authentic report, the white population in this portion of the Black Continent was 800,000, while the native or black was 2,500,000. Development for the past forty-five years has been rapid, and the present European population is approximated at 1,500,000. The colored population is given at 5,500,000, and this notwithstanding the terrible inroads made on the colored population by influenza, which carried off 500,000 in 1918. Industrially also, South Africa is what now annoying to European capitalists, and the failure of white settlers to measure up to the standard colored organizations that have been LET THE ARGUS BE YOUR SHOPPING GUIDE.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. has made it necessary to employ an ever increasing percentage of colored labor. There is said to be no inducement to large scale immigration. It is even admitted that muskilled or sem-skilled Europeans "in any case would not be allowed to land." Mining and farming are the big industries, and manufacturing industries have sprung up in more or less numbers during the most recent years. The mining of gold has been carried on particularly in this region, but there has been noted later that less gold mining is done, and the tendency is to work with less white labor. The only hope of the white race in South Africa is said to be in the manufacturing industries, as the low standard of living with which the average South African farmer has to be content, and the fact that a large proportion of the ever-growing body of 'poor whites' consists of families who failed to win a livelihood on the soil, all go so show that it would be unwise to look to present-day farming to restore rapidly the winning strength of the white race in South Africa." In all activities, it is noted, colored competition is increasing with keen severity. Writers in the London press lament the fact that conditions are as they are in South Africa, and areas of the opinion that something should be done which would tend to prevent this racial movement, else there will be a natural development of the subguntment into *n* black and brown man's country, and there will be no opener for *n* white nation or *n* white civilization. Here then is hope for the various The St. Louis Argus ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,AUGUST 14,1925 preaching the "back to Africa" doctrine. L. E. Neame, the celebrated student of Africa and African conditions says, and his views have been expressed by others.

BJ William Pickens Associated Negro Press Dempsey will fight Harry Wills somewhere somehow, somewhere, in the east or the west or the north or the south—in New York or somewhere else—under Tex Richard's promotion or under that of somebody else, in 1826 or 1836—probably, perhaps, and maybe. The light is always "next year." It is always just twelve months from now. This is fresh "news" all the time. Once upon a time the audience laughed when the Chairman announced: "We have just received some important news, if true" *** One thing we my assert with reasonable confidence: That "Jack" Dempsey will fight Harry Wills if and when he is competed to do so by public pressure and boxing "exquisitions." But not otherwise nor other when. If it is not how much you eat that makes you too, fat, but your pituitary gland, what's the use?

Y., AUG. 14. Mr. Cordling to See Tou Fn. director of the Chinese Information Service in Paris, America was discovered by China. Mr. See bages his assumption on the fact that, in 1859, A.D. the Buddhist priests discovered an innumerable island lying 3,250 miles east of the China coast, which island they called "For Cling." In 1863 a Buddhist priest called Hidil Shen visited this island. It is not known where he visited, but there is a island in Mexico of a Chinese priest who visited the island cooled in a long robe, and taught a new faith and philosophy. Still further r.

A TRADE MAKER PAGES 9 TO 14 SEEK BAN ON SCANDAL AND CRIME NEWS Chicago Clergy Blame Low Standard Of Journalism For Corruption. Would Exact Penalty. CHICAGO, Aug. 12—Exploitation of crime and scandal in the public press through sensational narrations with lurid details is blamed by many clergymen here as one of the outstanding causes of lawlessness and present moral conditions. In a survey conducted by The Diocese of Chicago, a monthly magazine, published under supervision of the Church Club of Chicago, sensational newspapers were named among leading causes of crime along with indifference of parents and lack of proper home life, absence of religious training, courts, war, lack of law enforcement, disrespect for law and materialism. Cause of Lawlessness "Under the false pretense that crime and scandal is what the public wants, newsppers have continued to publish such news," wrote one minister. "That is one of the great causes of growing lawlessness and increase in crime. Every citizen should protest such action." He declared it to be a public duty for every citizen to write to the editor of every newspaper in Chicago that he is opposed to publication of such news items, and the prominent space which they have been made to occupy" and continued. "Convince the press that the public wants and demands news of a higher and far more moral quality. The rarity of the home demands it; the safety of the Nation compels it. Must Express Views "Doubtless in every community there are some people who crave this sort of news and welcome its publication. Because they talk the most and the loudest is not necessarily indicative that they are in the majority. Indeed, I believe the good element in the city is numerically in the lead, but modest about expressing their views. "The time has come for every citizen who wants to see high moral standards maintained in the city of Chicago to drop this false modesty and assert his rights. Dean William C. DeWitt of Western Theological Seminary, suggested "Penalize every medium contributing to criminality, such as yellow newspapers and provide wholesome occupations and interests for your people." WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 15 — Estimated Colored population of some of the leading cities of the United States as of July 1, 1925, have been made by the U. S. Census Bureau.

The Linne Fire Insurance Company, following a meeting of its board of directors, has decided to disband and return to stockholders, money paid in. All money paid by stockholders was returned and the directors stocked the loss of promotion. It was, one of the most pretentious business, undertakings in the city, Dr. R. A. Williams, president of the Royal Circle of Friends, was president; Harvey Watkins, real estate dealer, was treasurer; C. I. Dell Turpin, secretary; Jesse Binga, Banker; Robert S. Abbott, publisher; Dr. Charles Thompson, vice president of the Your Cab Company; Earl Dickerson attorney for the Liberty Life Insurance Company; L. L. Lindsay, former newspaper man of Lincoln, Nehr, Senator Adelbert Roberts, Dr. Carl G. Roberts, head of the local N. A. A. C. P.; Dr. A. A. W. Mercer, Dr. Prince Cameron, Dr. Edward Murray, Leroy Johnson, and Dr. A. O. Taylor, Cleveland were members of the Board of Directors. The cause is said to have been a disinclination or inability to raise the reserve demanded by state laws. The company had raised the required capital of $100,000. The Board has announced its willingness to stand all losses. Some observers are attaching significance to the breaking up of the company so soon after Jesse Ring, a shrewed business man, had been made a member of the Board to fill the place of Phil A. Jones. There is also a disposition to question the nature of the company in waiting so long before deciding that it was not going to raise the surplus required. An iller's opinions are hardly ever as weighty as those of a man who is of some age. Sell these rings and get one 1.10 KY HINO three START ON THE TOWER DEVELOPED BY Landmark Inc. Chicago, IL.

R. FITZWATTER D. D. Dean of the College of Chicago) *Newspaper Union* Lesson for August 16 TEMPERANCE LESSON LESSON TEXT—Gal. 5:13-24. GOLDEN TEXT—Be not deceived. God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that he also reap— —God. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Picture of a Good Life. JUNIOR TOPIC—Good and Bad IntermEDIATE TOPIC AND SENIOR TOPIC—Drunkness and Kindred Evils. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Flesh Against the Spirit. Having shown in chapters 3 and 4 of this epistle that the believer is free from the law as a means of justification, Paul makes practical application of this doctrine. 1. Christian Freedom (vy. 13-15). 1. It is Not an Occasion to the "Flesh" (vy. 13). Liberty is not license. The notion that when one is free from the law he is free from constraint, is wicked or erroneous. License of the flesh means not merely the indulgence of the flesh in natural material sins, but in the expression of a self-centered life in biting and devouring one another (v. 15). Bickering among Christians is an example thereof. 2. By Love, Serving One Another (v. 13). Freedom from the Mosaic law means slavery to the law of love. "The emerging from bondage through Christ is the passing into a sphere of life in which all the powers should act under the dominion of the true motive love."—Morgan. 14. Walking in the Spirit (v. 10.12) This discloses the secret of how a life of service to another can be lived. The governing principle in the life of a believer is the Holy Spirit, Walking in the Spirit results in: 1. Loveing Service to Others (v. 12). 2. Victory Over the Flesh (vv. 15-17). By the flesh is meant the corrupt nature of man expresses itself in the realm of sense and self. The removed man becomes two men between whom a mortal conflict is going on. The Christian must choose between good and evil. When he chooses the evil, the Holy Spirit opposes, and when he chooses the good the flesh opposes. Notwithstanding this deadly conflict, victory is sure if one chooses the good. 15. The Works of the Flesh (vv. 19-21). By works of the flesh is meant the operation of the carnal nature. The dine who chooses to live according to the impulses and desires of his natural heart will be practicing the following sins: 1. Sensuality (v. 19). The sins enumerated here are practised in the sphere of the body and are: (1) Fornication. (The word "adultery" is omitted from the best many scriptures). (2) Uncleanness. This includes all sensual sins, open or secret, thought or plod. (3) Susceptiveness. This means the wanton reckless indulgence in the shameful practices of the flesh. 2. Irrigation (v. 20). These acts take place in the realm of the spirit and are: (1) Industry, which means the worshiping of idols. (2) Witchcraft or Sorcery. This means all dealing with the occult such as magical arts, etc. 35. Sins of the Temper (v. 20-21) These take place in the sphere of the mind and are: (1) Hatred. (2) Variance, which means strife. (3) Emulations, feeling. (4) Wrath, bursts of passions. (5) Seditions, feelings in the stare (6) Houses, feelings in the church. (7) Easily,. (8) Murders. 36. Sins of Excess (v. 21). (1) Drunkenness. This means indulgence in intoxicating liquors. (2) Revelations, nets of dissipation under the influence of intoxicants IV. The Fruit of the Spirit (v. 22-24) This indicates action in the realm of life, the product of the Holy Spirit including the believer. 1. Love to God and man. 2. Joy, glad heartiness because of what God has done. 3. Peace with God and fellowman. 4. Longsuffering, taking insult and injury without mourning. 5. Gentleness, kindness to others. 6. Goodness, doing good to others. 7. Faith, believing God and committing all to Him. 8. Kindness, submission to God. 9. Temperance, self-control in all things. Against such there is no law. Man's Sorrows Man's sorrows are a mystery, but that sinners should not have sorrows were a sadder mystery still. And God please with us all not to lose the good of our experiences of the bitterness of sin by our devity or our blindness to their meanings—Alexander Maclaren.

All roles are given to report Sunday. The delegates will make a full report Sunday. All members and friends are urged to be present. Ed Crittenden, reporter LAST OF "EVOLUTION" SERIES AT LANE, SUNDAY St. Louis Christendom has huzzed for the last two weeks over the two remarkable and entertaining messages on "Evolution" by Rev. H. W. Evans, pastor of Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church, Newstead and Eright avenues. Interest has run extremely high and as this Sunday's message will be the last of the series it is expected to bring out a larger reviewing throng than the that have gone before. This does not—mean Lane could comfortably take care of any larger crowds than have passed through its portals for the last two weeks—workers and a cadmir will do all in their power to pat the crowd at case number of its size. Quite a number of religious theists declare that their tithe message last Sunday morning elapsed the Sunday previous, but there are so many intangible things that enter into such a comparison until it is almost impossible. While many will gather at the Newstead sanctuary, Sunday, basking in the fertile soil of a sermon on "Evolution" with dreams of the late Meyers, Huxley and Darwin; many will come forth to hear the parting message of the mighty Key, Evans, who, after two appearances in the Lane pulpit this Sunday, will depart to be absent until early September.

CO., 501 Broadway, New York (1-16-46s) Wilberforce University's New School Of Music Preston News Service WILBERFORCE, O.

Students graduating from the advanced course will receive the baccalaureate degree in music. President Jones is expecting a record breaking enrollment. CHICAGO POLITICIANS HONOR EDW. H. WRIGHT Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, Ill., August. 12.—Hon. Edward H. Wright, recognized as one of the foremost political leaders of the times, regardless of community or race, was honored by the Second Ward Regular Republican organization and his friends with a testimonial of appreciation held in the Eighth Regiment Armory Saturday night. More than two thousand people were present, representing the chief political factors of the Second, Third and Fourth Wards, where thousands of racial voters live. A mammoth street parade of decorated automobiles preceded the testimonial. The occasion was unprecedented. The Armory, in all of its existence, was never more attractively decorated. Red, white and blue colors, the American flag, and more than 5,000 vari-colored balloons were used to produce the most delightful effect. Alderman Lukes B, Anderson acted as the evening and introduced the long and beautiful beffiting words. More than fifty prominent citizens of both groups, leaders in politics, business and civic welfare in Chicago, occupied places on the beautifully decorated platform. Among those who spoke were Dg John Dill Robertson, Commiteeeman, George T. Kersey', Judge Albert George, County Chairman Alexander Fyfe, Senator Adelbert Roberts and many others. Each speaker paid lofty tribute to the remarkable leadership of Mr. Wright, covering a perilous period of years, when he has attained an enviable position in city, county, state and national politics where his opinions are sought after and his advice followed. It was stated that no other racial citizen in America has a record that in any way approaches that of Edward Wright in point of long service, and achievements. His political life has always partaken of leadership. He has been County Commissioner, Assistant Corporation Counsel, and is at present a member of the important Illinois Commerce Commission, as well as Committeeman of the Second Ward. Wright has the knowledge of what political power means and knows how to use it. He uses it not only to produce Republican victories, but to produce concrete results in positions and justice for the people of his group. Just before introducing Commissioner Wright, Chairman Anderson presented to the audience a large number of men who are filling the various prominent positions developed by the "greatest political organization in America," according to the County Chairman in his address. The last to be presented were David Hawley, Howard Cornwell, and Henry S. Wilson, who recently were promoted to the positions of foremen and inspectors in the Postoffice Department, through the co-operation of the organization and Congressman Martin B. Madden. When Commissioner Wright arose to speak, he was given a spontaneous ovation that lasted more than five minutes. He was plainly affected and admitted it frankly. He spoke with becoming dignity, and went briefly over the history of the efforts to attain and maintain political power in Chicago. He declared that the organization is not alone interested in the cause, in spite of the good citizens, in the fact that a most important work confronts the organization in politically and civically acclimating the thousands of colored people who come to make Chicago their home. Then, Mr. Wright spoke of the absence of the occasion of "one who has always stood in the fore on matters of right and justice, Congressman Martin B. Madden." He continued, "he would he be here with us tonight, and that he is in Massachusetts in conference with President Coolidge." "There has been considerable said about our sending a . . . Congressman from our district. We could perhaps be, the part of "indom at this time." to attempt it, when we have representing us a man-who is one of the foremost leaders in the nation, who is true to our interests, one of the close advisors of the President, and Chairman of the Appropriations Committee. One member of Congress would be a source of great racial pride, but it would be questionable about the political positions of the officers and therefore, I am for the continuation of Mr. Madden. There was profound applause following this declaration. Music by Dave Peyton's Syncopators, vaudeville, and dancing followed the speaking program.

Miss Ada—Your coarse skin and large porous may be traced to your own neglect more than any other cause. Give your face a little more attention and you will find a great improvement. First secure it good skin food or cream (we are sending the mine of a cream which we highly recommend by return mail) and massage the face thoroughly. This must be done daily for the skin of the face is like anything else which requires constant attention, and when the necessary care is discontinued, you drift back to your former condition. For closing the pores, a good antigrist must be used. Ice is the best antigrist we know. To get the best results, place a cake of ice in a cloth and after dropping a few drops of witch hazel on the cloth, apply to the face. This treatment makes the skin and muscles of the face firm and tight and closes the insightly pores as well as increases the blood circulation and adds glow to the cheeks. Miss Edun H.—Your question is not an uncommon one. Many of our younger ladies with beautiful hair are desirous of making it lighter just as our young men and women delight in making their complexions a shade of two tighter. Beauty experts rather hesitate to give such information, because if you do not follow instructions to the detail, damage is likely to result. The timing of the blench is of utmost importance. Apply peroxide, into which a few drops of ammonia have been added, to the hair. Keep the hair damp with this solution for from ten to twenty minutes, depending upon how light a shade you desire. Do not allow the ends of the hair to get too wet and keep them dry with a towel handy for the purpose. When the hair is almost the desired shade, you may assist the drying by combing the hair briskly with a thee comb. The ammonia will add the relish hint that that you desire. You tell me that your hair is straight and if you are absolutely truuthful and do not use this bleach too often, your hair will remain beautiful; but if the hair is inclined to be at all kinky, well, I just be too bad. Miss X-Your question Is one which I cannot answer in these columns. If you will send a stumped envelope, I will tell you what I think the aiment appears to be. However, if you do not get in touch with me by return mail, consult a skin specialist at once. Miss Marybelle—Thanks for the photograph. Yes, you are a pretty girl and there are not many suggestions that I can make that would enhance your beauty. Since your face is already thin, I would arrange my hair closer to my head if I were you. The muffiness of your bob only emphasizes the thickness of your face. Georgia - One of the prettiest hairdresses that I have ever seen - was made up of straightened hair. After pressing a beautiful and lasting market wave may be put in hair which has been straightened.

DEAD AFRICAN'S HEAD LARGEST IN THE WORLD Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK, August 12—Word has just been received here from Cape Town, Africa, that the professor of anatomy in Cape Town University has just got possession of the skull of a native who recently died, that the largest in the world. It is scientifically interesting, because of its resemblance to the famous Baskup skull, which is said to be the oldest in the world. If it should be established that the Baskup skull was native to Africa, it would mean that Afissa is the cradle of humanity. No one but a Frenchman speaks French very well.

LOUIS' FINEST NEGRO UNDERTAKING ESTABLISHMENT, NOW COMPLETED PAGE FOURTEEN A. B. B. President Beal Undertaking Co. Mr. A. L. Beal was born in Jackson, Tenn., and at the early age of 10 years, made up his mind that day he would be a business man, and he would operating his own business. He had saving his earnings at 20 years of age for this purpose. He came to St. Louis in 1900 and began working at Liggett-Meyer Tobacco Factory. He worked as a laborer at the Hydraulic Brick. To busy the year of the World's Fair he worked as a waiter in some of the leading hotels of this city. He continued his money and so strong was his financial ability to accumulate money of open business, not even attend the World's Fair. After the close of the Fair, business held dull in St. Louis, he went to Chicago. He worked there for a short time as hotel writer. He then entered the employment of Marshall Fields, and as a laborer helping dig the foundation of the present: Marshall Field. Field Department. Storm wages were $100 per hour. Whilst working the foundation of one of Chicago's street stores, Mr. Hall no doubt, gained experience and new hope of some day watching the erection of a building to house his own business. He returned to St. Louis at the end of one year and took up Jantir work. He worked as jantir in some of St. Louis' wealthiest families. Among them were Mr. Martin Lammert, of Lammert Furniture Co.; Chas. Ladd, President of Hamilton-Brown Shoe Store; Manners, of Wrought Iron Store; Manufacturer of Lawyer Banker and Dr. John Grassi satury as jantir aggregated $25.50 per week. He worked as a jantir for nine years and during this time spent only 15 cents for food. He did chores around the home and ran errands for the foods for his food. He was very quiet and his industrious manner gained him' friends and the favor of all his employers, who furnished his clothing. He deposited his earnings each week in the Commissary and walked to and from the bank to make his deposits. He had $955.50 in this bank when he entered business.

Questions for him should be addressed to George Wells Webb, Associated Negro Press, 322 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Will you kindly refer me to a volume that treats racial values and the question of racial values and the question of so-called inferior and superior lesbians? G. B. F., St. Louis, Missouri. One of the best and least technical is "The Mind of Primitive Man," by Franz Bons, who is an authority and fair-minded writer. Are the Rifkins who are fighting the French Negroes? B. K. L., Des Moines, Iowa. The Rifflians are a Mohammedan tribe inhabiting the hill of Morocco and considerably mixed with Negro blood. Perhaps it would be more correct to call them originally African and Negro people whose blood has been mixed with various strains. Of just what value to the American Negro is an ancient history of racial achievement? V. F. D. Philadelphia, 1896. Such a knowledge should stimulate pride and pride begets the care for further achievement. It is the only study that can eventually overcome the so-called "inferiority complex" which is the greatest bane of the American Negro. As a man thinks, so must he be.

But he has not performed a miracle. He has only done what any of the young men of our race may do. He had only a limited education and willing hands to earn his money, but he did what comparatively few of our young of today have learned to do. Save what he earned. He planned his work and worked out his plan. Mr. Beal is now in French Lick Springs, planning for a much needed rest, this being his first vacation in eight years. After his visit to Springs, Mr. Beal will take a special Course in Funeral Directing, which will enable him to render more efficient service to the public as a funeral director. During the absence of Mr. Beal, the business will be in charge of Miss Beal, who, with the aid of five competent men, will give the same prompt, and efficient service.

The science of mechanics was in need well known to the Egyptians and many phases better known to them than to moderns. The secret of fitting enormous weights, moving mammals' bones, drilling into granite, are but a few in which they even exist of today. OUT OF TOWN NEWS Rev. H. C.
