STANDARD LIFE, PRIDE COLORED RACE, REDEEMED An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man VOL. XIV NO. 20 STANDARD LI COLORED RAC St. Louis Underwriters' Corp., To Take Over Entire Business Of Old Insurance Company Business Will Be Trained Over On Or Before October 1st. Details Not-Given Out At The St. Louis Office. Announcement has just been made from the offices of the St. Louis Underwriters Corporation, 2803 Pine Boulevard, that contracts were made this week, whereby the financial Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga. becomes the property of this group of its business/men, thereby bringing back to the Race this organization which was their pride. It is understood that the business is to be turned over to the Corporation on or about October 1, 1925. The deal represents approximately twenty-four million dollars worth of insurance in force. Together with the business comes assets of close to three million dollars and a monthly income of close to one hundred thousand dollars. The transfer is made, including good will, the entire agency, organization and clinical forces of the home office and branch offices in thirteen states. The St. Louis Underwriters Corporation which is authorized for the redemption of the Standard Life, was founded by the President, who was formerly an agent of the Old Standard Life Insurance Company and who cherished the hope of being instrumental in bringing this gem back to the colored people. It will be remembered that at the time the Standard Life Insurance Company passed into the hands of the Southern Life, a promise was made by Mr. Will G. Harris, president of the Southern Insurance Company, agreeing to sell the company back to any group of reputable Negroes within the next ten years. Several of the officers of the St. Louis Underwriters Corporation participated in the disposition of a large amount of stock and insurance of the Standard Life, and were naturally interested in its salvation. With this in view, Mr. Harris was approached and after several conferences in Nashville, the idea was finally consummated. Among the personnel of the Corporation are leading business and professional men. The officers and directors are as follows: Wm O. McMahon, president; W. H. Moshy, secretary; A. C. Maclin, treasurer; C. Frenshaw, C. A. Pitman, Dr. T. J. Jackson, Dr. C. M. Powell, J. E. Mitchell, Dr. R. C. Haskell, M. L. Sanford, L. S. Williams, Dr. S. P. Stafford, Rev. B. F. Abbott, Dr. H. B.

The St. Louis Argus IS FREED AFTER BEING HELD FIVE YEARS FOR RAPE Supreme Circuit - Justice Says "Evidence Does Not Sustrain Corruption," After Three Lynched. The Associated Negro Press STILLWATER; Minn., Sept.—Max Mason one of the nine Negro charged with the murders of the circus grounds, at Duluth, Minn., June 15, 1920, and the only one to be convicted upon trial after three of them had lynched, was released from Stillwater prison upon conditional discharge today. One of the Justices of the Supreme Court of Minnesota in a disenting opinion said: "In my view of the evidence does not sustain the conviction." It is the general opinion that Mason was not guilty and that the girl's story of being criminally assaulted by six men was manifest and that the case concealing some other transposition was part. One of the jurors is reported to have said that while he voted to convict Mason he did not believe he was guilty, but he did believe that Mason had some knowledge about the matter that he did not tell. Mason spent some time with Attorney W. T. Francis, in St. Paul, who has been working to secure his release for the past two years. Strike Riot Near At Southampton Preston News Service LONDON, Sept. 5- Southampton, which is the storm center of the ship- ing strike, is threatened with grave disorder and it is reported that the police and strikers are massed face to face. The trouble began early Wednesday evening when sixteen colored men shiping off the harbor paraded before the Royal Mall Storm rainy day's office and demanded an inter- view with the company's representative, who, they allege, misled them, when they inquired for a ship unfa- fected by the strike.

They threatened serious reprisals if they got hold of the ship representative and the police were called.

Fl., Sept. 9 — After more than two years of co-operation between the Tampa Urban League, and the Tampa Public Library Board, there is hope of an adequate branch library for Negroes of this city. For several years the only reading facilities furnished the colored people of Tampa were a few books kept in the principal office at Harlem Academy, where at that time, there was not a routine school work, to say nothing of community for a public reading center. Early in the year 1923 the Tampa Urban League insisted upon more accessible housing quarters for the Branch Library, and, finding that the Library Board was not financially able to provide the necessary funds for the desired expansion of the Negro work the Urban League offered the part time services of its office, the street scene, thezie Dansep, and moved into its present home 1310 Marlon street, where two neatly fitted rooms have served to accommodate the colored reading public. Under the care and guidance of the Urban League and its staff the Library has grown in strength and influence, the circulation has increased and the Tampa Public Library has been convinced that the Negroes of Tampa must be provided for.

Muse, the distinguished American Actor, formerly the producer and star of the Lafayette Players, also, with wide experience abroad, has after much persuasion consented to play the leading role in the production of "Thais," to be given at the Olden Theatre October 2. The Day Nursery Organization in its desire to give to the public of St. Louis something out of the ordinary, conceived the idea, after the custom of amateur productions in the other cap, that they could have it celebrate skating with the amateur cast it would be of interest to their group. This attempt will be the first time that it has ever been tried among colored amateur theatricals. The Day Nursery Organization is jubilantly expecting to go down in history as pioneers in the artistic development of drama among our people. It was quietly announced through telephone conversations that Mr. Muso had decided to play this role and immediately the demand for tickets were so great that several meetings were necessary for the ticket committee in order that they may be in a position to come with the situation. The new interest shown by the many new actors of the very large cast of eighty is remarkable and unless the judgment of many years' experience is worthless, we can safely say at this writing that "That is" will be an artistic triumph well as a financial success for the Day Nursery Organization which is putting forth this gigantic effort for "Sweet Charity's sake."

"Keep Cool With Coolidge" One of the campaign slogans of the Hold Tight Brigade was, "Keep Cool With Coolidge." The slogan was all wrong. It should have been, "Keep Broke With Coolidge." That would have been nearer the truth. There are perhaps more ordinary folks on the rocks now than there have been for some time. And it is the ordinary plain folks that I am interested in. I belong to that large group myself. This Coolidge flasco is just another proof of the off repeated saying that the President and Congress do not run this glorious land of tours. The usual run of presidents is a little more than a Punch or a Judy. To the onlookers, Punch and Judy seem to be doing the talking. But all but the children and the childlike in mind, know that the gentleman, on whose knee Punch sits, is really the power and the mouth behind Punch. This same gentleman is also the power and the mouth behind many an act of Congress and many an executive policy and order. Thus it matters little who is President or what party is in control in Congress. The men who lend money to foreign governments, in home in foreign governments, all follow the government bonds, are the men who really call the tunes. What we have in this country is not really "Government of the People, by the People for the People," but rather "Government of the People by Congress for the Capitalist." The role of the so-called people is really that of the father in any well regulated family. He is there to pay the bills. Age of Whiskey This is the age of whiskey. There is whiskey, whiskey everywhere and many a quart to drink. I should have said Hooch. What intrigues me is the inroad that Hooch has made into the homes, the stomachs and the good graves of many supposed respectable and upright citizens. How are the 'best citizens' fallen? It seems that there can be no social affair, worth attending, unless the host or hostess passes out the word that there will be plenty of gin and whiskey. Good church members, unstanding business and professional men take their wives, sons and daughters to these gin and whiskey fests. The liquor flows, tongues are loosened, backhouses wilt, heads droop, knees weaken and arms don't care whose wife they unclech. And this from our 'heading citizens' all over this highly moral nation. Perhaps the whiscs can afford this sort of thing. I know that Negroes cannot afford it. It is a terrible loss to them morally, financially and physically. On the economic side there "THAIS" is not one Negro in a thousand who can afford to buy out $25,000 for liquor. Morally and physically there is no Negro who can record to do such things. It is an awful thing when men and women who ought to know better, begin to engage in these licentious revels. These men not only impair their usefulness to themselves and their families but they lessen their value to our group. And the women unfit themselves for motherhood and for the proper rearing of their children. Of what service is the training of the schools to a man if he insists on drowning it all out in a sea of whiskey, thus poisoning his physical powers? And ten, a man owes it to himself and his family that he protect them from this sort of thing. There is many an off-color wife and daughter who learned it at home from her husband or in the homes of her husband's friends. If there is a Negro anywhere who feels that this sort of thing does him or his race any good, let his cast the first stone. Ed like to get hit. WASHBURN Child who used to be ambassador to somewhere, has an article in the Saturday Evening Post for August 15 on the causes of crime in this country. He calls it "The Great American Scandal. Why We Have Crime." "The primary cause of crime, in our midst according to the cestwhile ambassador, is immigration. Hear this new and super-heated crime chaser, "Lacking any sufficient statistical analysis of criminality in the United States, nevertheless it can be shown easily enough that one of the first causes for our crime is immigration." Mr. Child might have just as well have said "Lacking any sufficient information on the subject newborn, it can be shown easily enough that majority of Americans favor the African empire ideas of Marcus Garvey." Most anyone who reads Mr. Child's article will wonder how an intelligent man can write four or five pages on a subject on which he lacks sufficient analysis. Mr. Child says further that he is not talking about immigrants as a whole. He is speaking of the non-Nordic immigrant, the "hunny" roundheads of Southern Europe, and not the blue-eyed, fair-haired, gods and goddesses of England, Scandinavia and Germany. The southern Europeans are the ones responsible for the majority of our 11,000 homicides and manslaughter cases of 1921. The pure-cured Nordics from the north of Europe are all good law-binding children of "the Most High." Thus intimates Brother Child in Brother Curtis' weekly Slush Post. "I have collected from five American cities the data on 125 (mark you) persons charged with murder for man-slaughter -25 random cases from each city in a specified spiral. The total of white persons so charged not for foreign-born or children of, foreign-born is only 20. A study of total arrests for serious crimes in American cities of the character of New York, St. Louis, Detroit and Birmingham show that the biggest white population being about 75% of the total 15 chargeable with only 50% of the arrests." You will notice that Brother Child has jumped from the matter of the proportion of crime to the proportion of arrests which, of course, is not the same thing. Mr. Child got the data on 125 persons charged with murder or manslaughter. And, yet, there were 110,000 such cases for him to examine. The Negro has suffered, from this same sort of investigating. Our increased death rate and our decreased birth rate have proven by this same sort of childish figuring, this same sort of apoptosis reasoning; by similar bias and stupidity. There are very few persons who know how to use the statistical method. A carpenter may have a very fine plane and yet fail to produce a smooth level surface. And when the plane is dull and the carpenter incompetent all hope is gone. Mr. Child is an incompetent carpenter trying to work with a tool that he does not understand. I draw this conclusion from his words. The foreigner is very often the victim of prejudice. As a rule police don't treat foreigners with the same consideration that they do native whites. Very often some arrogant microbe sitting in judgment, in a city police court helps boost the total of foreign criminality statistics. Once I saw five men arraigned for drunkenness. The first four were asked the usual meaningless questions and then discharged. The last said that he came from Russia, he was not naturalized and that he had been here 20 years. He was fined five dollars with the alternative of serving ten days in jail. And yet I don't conclude from this and other instances of similar nature that the majority of foreigners are mistreated in our courts. I leave that sort of reasoning to the statistical Mr. Child. This sort of writing is less than bunk. An ever, Mr. Child warns us that there is more to come. He will write a book on the subject. Glory be! Page the waste basket. Protostone News Service The address of Mr. Charles Evans Hughes before the American Bar Association was a nonfigurative statement of the fundamental principles of tolerance. This speech sounded like the old time Hughes before the days when he was Secretary of State. Mr. Hughes did not discuss evolution but he did talk about the recent Sources trial and the law leading up to K. This is what he said: "To control curriculum in our public schools and State universities in the interest of a reasonable arrangement of courses of study in order to aid the acquisition of knowledge is one thing to attempt to control public instruction in the interest of any religion or dema is quite another." Mr. Hughes is only saying here that, although the State has a right to control its educational system, it has no right to so perpetuate that system that it is simply the manifestation of the personal religious opinions of one man or a group of men. The whole question in the matter of law-making—particularly law-making that concerns the schools—is the question as to whether or not the private opinions of any group, creed, or sect should become the official law by which schools are to be administered and instructions imparted. Has there ever be any group wise enough to say just how much liberty shall be given a teacher in the matter as to what he shall teach? It is not a question of conservation or radicalism. To make radicalism official would be just as great an evil as to make conservation official. To say that Darwinism must be taught to the exclusion of the opinions of the writer of Genesis would be just as wrong as to say that the opinions of the author of Genesis should be taught, and Darwinism wholly excluded. The Child's mind is not an empty harried to be filled with the personal opinions of its teacher, its parent, its employer. The child is to be led and guided to the intelligent forming of its own opinions. To perform a wise kind of an adult, the child must be trained in this matter of intellectual independent personal thinking, under the guidance of parents and teachers who are competent to do such leading. No one is competent to lead a child, or anyone else for that matter, who is not tolerant enough to feel, that there may be other interpretations of a particular question than that, held by the person doing the leading. The typewriter on which I write to the teacher is the engraved presentation of many ideas. If the manufacturer would refuse to accept the opinions of other men on ways and means to improve his machine, he would be put out of business by other manufacturers, who were not so tolerant and anxious to impose their personal opinions on all users of typewriters. No legislator would ever dream of saying that there should be a law to compel the making of only one kind of typewriter. Money and profits are involved there. Run the same boy maker is every ready to place more serious distractions in the way of the acquirement of knowledge. And the typewriter manufacturer who wants freedom to run his business as he sees it is ever ready to suck or the legislator in the strange line of the schools. In the suppression freedom of speech and assembly and the rule of law, Mr. Hirsch makes an interesting point when he says in effect that the people do not receive as much benefit from governments as they do from the schools. This is true because in large measure governments are restrictive when the schools, at least, are supposed to be the one place where there is the greatest of all freedom, the freedom of the mind. 1. AM A RADICAL This is the only land that I will allow anyone to hang on me — I have been called Socialist, Bohooke, Indulde, Amstrom-Dann Foel, and a host of other things intertwined with ruthless and emphasized by the bearing of tables, the pounding of Bible, and with an erudicity that really makes the victim rebel and be exceedingly glad that he is give determined, in bending to me man, group or power, and wanting petting but what he can earn by honest productive labor. Seeking neither political, social nor economic favor or preferment the writer of this column cannot be seared or intimidated. There is but one free man, and that is the man whose mind is free. He is only free who has the courage to rihbit his awe, thoughts, who orientates his life as his thinking and his conscience dictate and who is willing to forego some of the material things of life in order that his conscience might be satisfied. Any Negro living in the United States, if he speaks the truth, if he thinks just for an instant will, and must be a radical. For what is the radical and what has he always been? The radical is now and always has been the individual who, in the language of Thos. Huxley was "willing to sit down before fact as a little child and follow fact wherever it might lead to whatever abscesses" "You must do this" says Huxley, "you will learn nothing". Huxley, in these words, gave the meaning of the radical. He is the individual who is satisfied with nothing less than the whole truth—the facts. The radical will not accept belief, ignorance, suspicion or intellected swill and swish no matter from what source it comes, no matter how high or powerful the authority. The radical sees not person who he should accept in fact the words of Jung that because he is "big man" the word of Mr. Cooleidle because he is President, the opinion of Dr. Fodlick because he is a great teacher. The opinions of all men, conservative liberal, reactionary and radical must stand the test of the ordeal by intellectual fire. There are: few whites, and not ordinarily, proportionately fever Nervous, who care or this sort of ordeal. This is what makes one's heart sick: to hear some black man-with the heel of the word on his throat-gasping out the word "Rafalid" with all the fervor of a Romanian, a Georgia cracker cammeering prescience or a West Virginia coal operator. The Norris does this sort of thing because he is still a slave. His body is free but his mind is in thraldness to a mass of brink and tommy shot at him by whites and blacks who profit himself therefrom. This white brink and black brink keeps the mass of Norris important cowards and indifferent patrons. He sets it on Sunday. Good morning, per cent of his ministers, he gets it on Monday from ninety-five per cent of his white countryside. he gets it around election time from nineteen and one-half per cent of the white and black political countryside and stalks them come often for the first time, into his neighbourhood to tell him that the G.O.P.

TID-BITS By Leonard Massenburg Associated Negro Press The most offensive form of soot comes from homes, a British expert says. 2 An automobile fire extinguisher system has been devised for airplanes. It requires more than 25 years for light to travel from the star Vega to the earth. Two hundred million dollars have been spent by Parissian racing fans on horses in the last five years. It requires 80,000,000 pounds of twine, each year to blind Canada's grain harvest. An auto jack, operated by a motor run from the auto's battery, have been invented.

WE SPECIALIZE IN PARAMOUNT RECORDS PAGE FOUR MURRAY'S SHOW IS FULL OF PEP AT THE BOOKER Dusty Murray and his "Struttin' Along" Company are putting over a lively show at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The opening is a Dixie Song and medley of choruses with dances by a quartette of girls, ending with the "Charleston." introducing Rastus Murray. In fact, the "Charleston" from the opening to the finale is conspicuous. L. L. Lane follows with some nifty soft, shoe dancing and singing "Sunshine of Virginia." Belle Murray and girls are lively with "Everybody loves My Baby." Rastus and A. C. Smith make a bet on the kind of music that the audience likes and jazz wins over old time melodies. Anna Mae Cole goes over nicely with singing and dancing "Eliza." Dusty Murray paired with Chik & McIntosh have a good act that includes songs and dances by both with Japonic domestic squabbling sandwiched in. Ella Mae Waters and Belle Murray have a nifty team dance. Raymond Johnson is a typical "Dope Friend." Miss Murray and the girls have a Hawaiian Dance that cannot get away from the "Charleston;" so it is with "Red Hot Mammum." by Lane and George wired, who also have some good comedy and lively dancing. The Murrays have a comedy, all singing, vies the dancers with the aweses. They closing begins with a display of city and state stiflers and ends in a finale with the entire company. It's a good entertainer. KID THOMAS AND COMPANY NEXT WEEK Kid Thomas will bring his company of good performers to the Booker Washington Theatre, next week, beginning next Monday. This producer's musical comedy revue is a delight to theatrical patrons. The Booker has added two more special features to its week's program, besides "Pay Day" on Monday night. The "Charleston" is to get its airing in two classes of contest. On Thursday nights the juveniles (Little fellows) will get their chance; and on Friday nights the adults will display their art. A fat cash prize is the object of the winner in both classes and a bunch of good entertaining is in store for the patrons. "SILK STOCKING REVIEW" AT THE GAYETY Armande Monte is said to "make the charm" speak in "Silk Stocking Revenue" next week's attraction at the Gayley Theatre. This is only one of the many good features which Mrs. Harry Hastings is offering in her new show. THE PICTURE THEATRES THE COMET Douglas Fairbanks will be featured in the big attraction, "Don Q, Son of Zorro" at the Concert Theatre on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. It is a supreme melodrama. The story has to do with a young Spanish don who comes to Spain from California to complete his education. Circumstance makes him a national hero, then precisely enough, circumstance bends him a murderer. To avoid conviction, the hero feigns suicide, and becomes the dashing and mysterious Don Q. Hearing of his son's profane treatment, his father, the famous Don Q, why won glory as Zorro in California, goes to Spain and together father and son win back the family honor at the point of the sword. In the opinion of many, this is Douglas Fairbanks' finest contribution to the cinema. Action, plus with tightening play stunts, athletic achievement, humor and romantic ingenuity consistently. Gloria Swanson will be seen in "A Social Scandal" on Tuesday, "Tu-White Monkey," forfeiting Burleson La Marr will be on Wednesday feature. It is based on the glamorous trifolios, a show life of London's young society. The attraction on Thursday and Friday will be "The Fool." In this thoughtful story, young Daniel Gilchrist, curate of a fashionable Fifth Avenue church, strives to live his life. Christ would have it if proof. Reaizing that he is rampant in his congregation the preacher in the director. That comforting divine tells him to preach the sort of sermons that will please the wealthy pew holders. The reply is a savage attack from the pulpit the following week, and the curate's downfall immediately follows. Hence he curses the title "The Fool." THE STAR The Prairie Wife will be the feature at the Star Theatre this Saturday. It is a story essentially dramatic, but with many humorous moments, of the struggle of an eastern girl and her husband in developing a farm in the prairies. The picture is filled with such incidents as the prairie fire and the capture of the murderer, with the underlying theme of the development of the prairie and the transformation of the girl. Dorey Devore and Herbert Rawlinson play the leading roles. Harry Carey in "The Texas Trail" will be the main Sunday special. The story of this picture hinges on the theft of ten thousand dollars and its recovery by the bovine after neck-breaking clauses, mainly hand-to-hand lights and daring robberies. Another feature on Sunday will be "Foray and Forget," the story of a woman's mistake; featuring Estelle Taylor, Wyndham Standing and Pauline Garon. Richard Talmadge will be seen in "The Mysterious Stranger" on Monday: Big Roy Williams, in "The Eagle's Claw" and Jackie Congan in "Long Live the King" will be Tuesday specials. Clare, Windsor heads the cast in "The White Desert" on Wednesday, and another feature will be "Man-and Wife." The special for Thursday and Friday will be "Pretty Ladies." It is a colorful story of life in the wings, dressing room and backstage. The leads are played by Zasn Pitts and Tom DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS DON Q SON OF ZORRO A Snappy Musical Show With SIX COLORED ARTISTS Also Bob Custer in "THAT MAN JACK" STAR THIS SATURDAY, SEPT. 12 Eastern Productions, Inc. presents the PRAIRIE WIFE directed by Hugo Ballin HERBERT RAWLINSON DOROTHY DEVORE Distributed by Metta Goldwyn She was a girl born to ease and bur- ury.

THE JESTAMERE Elaine Hammerseth in "In One Glorious night," will be the Jestamere Theatre feature this Saturday. It is the story of a young girl who was completely misled by the power of wealth, thinking that it was complete in itself and that with it she could command happiness. Milton Sills, will be featured in "The Making of O'Malley" on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Thrills, love, interest pathos-suspense, unusual dramatic situations real come-all these are found in this picture. For genuine entertainment, which includes the proper amount of tears and laughter, "The Making of O'Malley" is all that could be desired: It is a striking romance of a New York policeman and a society girl who has renounced the ballroom for civile welfare work. The girl's refining influence lifts this burly, awkward "cop" to a newer and higher plane, as the action unfolds and the threads of a love plot are woven. "Quo Vultis" will be the big attraction on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. This suspenseful picture, numbering 80,000 people in its cast, was produced in Rome on the very site of Nero's trenangles. The acers in his hands are the birthplace of the Christians at the Sinai, as flowers at Nero's garden party, the charlot races and mournment of other Christians in the arena of the Circus Maximus, the battle between the bull and the gant, Ursus with Lygia bound to the animal's back, and other thrills. Offsetting these are the tender love story of Lygia and Miniclus and the unyielding faith of the Christians in the face of horrible death. THE OLYMPIA Tom Mix and Tony will be seen in "The Lucky Horseshoe" at the Olympic Theatre on Saturday and Sunday. While this is a western picture, there is a decided innovation, in that a Spanish dream sequence, in which Tom cancels the role of Dón Juan, the greatest lover of medieval times. There are thrills galore intermixed with real comedy—and in the dream sequence, with a thrilling twist of times. It is without a doubt one of the finest bits of acting Tom has done so far in his career and a picture no one will want to miss. Monte Blue and Marie Prevost head the cast in "Kiss Me Again," on Monday. Another feature will be a western drama "Taking Chances." Mary Philbin and John Sainpinois are the stars in "The Rose of Paris," on Tuesday. Laura La Plante and Pat O'Malley will be featured in "The Teaser" on Wednesday. "Pine Clothes is announced for Thursday and Friday," story, from actual life, unpublished, to tribunal hearings. Donnadhon shopkeeper who is betrayed by wife, cheated by his employee and dupe by his friend. A notable cast has been given the production, including Lewis S. Stone, Percy Marmont, Alma Rubens, Eileen Pesty and others. THE CASINO Richard Talmadge will be featured in "The Isle of Hope" this Saturday at the Casino Theatre. With nothing but a fire on shipboard, a mutiny of his crew, a sunken vessel, a ship wreck on a desert 'sland, a beautiful girl who lives alone in a ruined old castle, a pirate's treasure stored in a cellar, a man in a dress Dick is an idle young man 'suffering from sleeping sickness. Thunder, the dog actor, will be seen in "His Master's Voke" on Sunday. This dog shows uncanny intelligence. Evelyn Brent is the star in "Lady Robin Hood"; the Monday special Mary Carr, heads the cast in "The Night Ship," the Tuesday feature. Roy Stewart will be seen in "Untamcal," a story of the boarder, on Wednesday. "Shattered Lives," featuring Edith Roberts and Robert Gordon will be the Thursday special; and Josie Sedwick is cast as "The Outlaw's Daughter" next Friday. THE LINCOLN House Peters and Miss Dupont will be featured in "Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman," at the Lincoln Theatre, this Saturday. Peters portrays the mine character who was a gentleman cracksman of super-powers when it came to baffling the best Scotland Yard detectives. "Heart of a Stren," with Barbara La Marr and Conway Tearle, will be the Sunday special. Its story is of a stage shen whose allurements captivate all Europe. The merry pace adds to the hospitable throughout the gay capitals the continent affords the picture some setting, which, for rich picturelessness, rival anything on the screen. Forrest Stanley and Margaret Livingston in "Up the Ladder" on Tuesday, Richard Malmudge in "The Fighting Demon," also Shirley Mason in "Scandal Proof" on Wednesday; and "The Light of Western-Stars," on Thursday, are all big features. THE CRITERION "Salome Of the Tenements" will be the feature at the Criterion Theatre this Saturday. The romance of an East Side girl, driven by a deathless passion for romance to burn through the barriers of race, class and creed.

Colored Farmers Suffer From Lack Of Organization (Colored Farmers, Suffer) The Associated Negro Press The Associated Negro Press TUSKEGEE, Ala., Sept 9—What Negro farmers in almost every state in the union are paying for mortgage and other money would break John D. Rockefeller. What they sell their products for would bankrupt Henry Johnson, whose poration would go under if forced to pay for supplies that Negro farmers do. The above are highlight sentences in a communication just written to T. M. Campbell, in charge of the extension work among Negro farmers in the South, by Charles E. Hall, for many years employed in the United States Census Bureau and one of the foremost statisticians on matters affecting the Negro. Mr. Hall was at one time mentioned for service in the Farm Loan Bureau where it was felt that he could be of service to cooperative groups among Negro farmers. He complains to Mr. Campbell that all their injuries are due to a failure to come together as the white farmers have done to bring to light the problems of 1920, then colored farmers and owners in every state from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Lakes to the Gulf, and as owners and tenants they constitute the only group in our race which is doing business on invested capital amounting to two billion dollars a year and more. But business men do not suffer from the fills our farmers do," writes Mr. Hall, "neither do intelligent farmers who through the power of organization get ample mortgage money at the rate of 5 and on half and 6 per 47 47 00105 BEST PHOTOPLAYS "Quo Vadis" Nero fiddling while the great city of Rome burns.

"Congress," he continues, "attempts no legislation affecting agriculture without consulting representatives of national organizations composed of farmers, but during a prolonged residence in Washington I have yet to see or hear of one of our farmers appearing before congressional committees of affairs on matters affecting the welfare and progress of the nearly one million colored farmers.

SEARCH WARRANTS Prosecutors Attorney Schwartz says, "the law holds that search warrants are unnecessary in cases where the contraband is visible. Then he holds that 'We make it a point to refuse warrants in cases where policemen are only suspicious about liquor law violations. Before we furnish them with a know we warrant they must actually know that violations are going on. The-police cannot know that they see it. So, the prosecuting attorney's logic is that he will not issue a warrant except in cases against which the public could act without it." Warrants, for Auto Search, Too Search warrants must be obtained to inspect automobiles as well as benches. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Fannl, told detectives who applied for a warrant Wednesday against John Klein, 1831 Marsh Street, with transporting Honor, John Fannl, Sunday and the detectives said that he voluntarily opened up the back of the auto an showed them two bottles of whiskey.

Colored Students, Led By Miss Francis Williams, Score Brilliant Triumph On Race Question MISS ALLISON IS ELECTED 900 White Students In Conferences, Led By Colored, Misses Har. Tis And Briscoe Attend LAKE (GENEVA, Wis., Sept. 9) The culmination of one of the most triumphant erasges for better race relations that has ever been made by college women, was marked her last week by the close of the northern and eastern division of the National Young Women's Christian Association Students' Camp. Miss Williams Outstanding Nine hundred women students, seven of whom were colored, were in attendance from northern and eastern colleges of the country. Prominent white figures gave lectures and spoke on the racial problems in college life and their solution, while Miss Francis Williams, National Y. W. C. A. Secretary, the outstanding woman of the camp, a native of St. Louis, and the daughter of Professor and Mrs. Frank L. Williams, led the Interracial Commission, which was the most popular of the five commissioners on present day issues. The seven colored girls chosen to go to Geneva by the cameras of student A. W. C. X. S. were: Miss Bouthah Harris of 281st St. Louis avenue, and Miss Louise Brisson of 2012 Goodenville, both juniors in the College of Uptown Arts for Chequapaw University, Ocunmiah, O. Miss Delen Jackson university of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn.; Mint; Berries Gaines, Ohio State University, Columbus, O.; Tied Smith, Iowa University, Iowa City, Inc.; Miss Nina Robert, Ohio Westleyan, Delaware, O. and Lacette Alliso; Butler College, Indianapolis, but Miss Allison was elected as National Council Commission member of the Geneva Legion. It was the second year that colored girls have been admitted at Geneva, three having been present last year. It was chiefly through Miss Williams that permission for their attendance was granted. Most Popular Commission The camp was concerned with five outstanding past day issues, which were handed by five commissions. They were the World Fellowship, Interracial Relations, Rural, Finance and Industrial Commissions. They interracial Relations Commission attracted such a large number of students that the leader, Miss Williams, devised a plan of personal conferences so that all might, become the roughly acquainted with the problems involved. These conferences met for an hour each day under the leadership of one of the seven colored students at the conference. The whites were free to ask these leaders any questions on the stand and attitude of their race and to discuss these questions. Examples of some of the questions that were asked are: How can we bring about an interracial group on our campus? Are the colored students destroys of Are thecollegedstudentsdismiss of membership incollegeunits? What is the attitude of the colored student on the race question? Are the colored students destroys Outstanding Speakers Miss Williams was the chief spokesman on race relations. Her speech and that of Dr. Brooks, professor of theology, are California University, made at Inspirational Hill before the entire assembly were considered the most forceful and eloquent delivered; other speeches of note, who spoke on the rare question, were Paul Hutchison, editor of the Christian Century; Bruno Lasker, staff member of the New York Inquiry, who is a student of the Interracial question, and who has made world works in its behalf; Dr Barnes, from Smith College of North Hampton, Mass., and Madison Suzanne Heidrich from Paris, France, head of the youth's movement in New York; Mr. Lasker is well known for his books on race relations. One of best books on the subject is entitled "And Who Is My Neighbor." Strike, the Issue Miss Willimus not only enlighten the body on the causes and effects of poor race relations existing between college students, but she also suggested methods for improvement. In her speech she advised that the whites actually practice what they had learned on the race question at General when they returned to their respective schools; that they invite the best colored artists and speakers available to their books; that each school have programs on Negro music and poetry; that the students join the traveling library, which contains all the best books on the Negro by white and colored authors; that a shelf should be reserved to all school library for literature on interracial questions; and that the white try to get the correct impression of the Negro through reading and personal contact, and endeavor not to judge the whole race by its individual members. Jim Cimco was enlisted by Miss Willimus as a wink impulse. Doing Good Work **Being Good Work** The accomplishments toward better race relations. In colleges throughout the east and north as a result, the Geneva institution of students have been quite industrious. "General of the colleges as a director," colored girls have opened their dormitories, "colored boys included in which a black boy, a black woman and Northwestern University," a good number of schools have taken interest in interracial clubs on their campuses. This year two exclusively white universities, Eartham of Richmond, Indiana, and Dennison of Grantville, Ohio, invited Miss Harris and Miss Brissette to visit them, and Miss Allison was elected an official of the National Commission of the Geneva region. It is expected that next year Lake Geneva will receive a considerable larger delegation of colored students at the Y. W. C. A. Students' Camp than was present this year. Will Aid Southern Schools.

CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES WITH KANSAS CITY MONARCHS WILL OPEN HERE SATURDAY, SEPT.19 Owner Lewis of the Memphis Red Sox has informed the owners of the St. Louis Stars that he will not bring his club here for the final series of the season which was to be of five games and start this Saturday. So far as could be learned, the Red Sox have finish the schedule. It is understood that the controversy over the final series has been going on for several days, but the Memphis owner only came to a final decision Thursday. The St. Louis owners of the Stars made every reasonable offer to induce Owner Lewis to carry out the schedule. They not only guaranteed all expenses, but placed railroad tickets for the transportation of his club to St. Louis. Five Games Forfeited After every effort was exhausted, President A. Rube Foster was notified and in a long distance conversation Thursday night, he declared the five games forfeited to St. Louis unless the Memphis club shows up at Stars' park Saturday.

One Game Keeps St. Louis Stars In The League Lead KANSAS CITY, Sept. 9—By winning today's game from the Kansas City Monarchs, the St. Louis Stars retained their lead in the Negro National League race and the boys from the Mound City need only a clean sweep of the Memphis series to win the second half pennant. The Stars had a hard time with the World Champions, who used their entire category of baseball knowledge in an endeavor to capture the five games and put the youngsters out of the running. Even the umpire seemed to take up the spirit and ruled every close play in favor of the home team. Many brilliant plays were turned; but to Eddie Watts goes the credit for the final sensational play that scorped the lead for his team mates. Rogan Wins Saturday The visitors got decidedly the worst of the umpire decisions on Saturday, and two of their rellies were cut off by this route. The Monarchs won 6 to 4 before 3000 persons. "Bullet" Rogan, who got away to a somewhat unsteady start, wound up by pitching the best game, of his career this season, striking out nine opposing batsmen. The visitors used three hurlers, Branahan, Brown and Miller, all of whom were hit freely. Both clubs played erroneous ball. The Monarchs opened up with a 5-run rally in the first inning, which was sufficient to win. **Rain on Sunday** Sunday would have seen a record crowd but a heavy rain and hall-storm started about noon and lasted long enough to turn the infield into a mud pond. It was the first time since 1923 that rain had caused the postponement of a Sunday game here. **Twin Victory for Monarchs** The Monarchs crept two games nearer the lead Monday when they turned back the St. Louis Stars in a double header, 7 to 5 and 6 to 1. A crowd of 8,500 saw the games. In the opening contest Drake was hit hard and forced to retire in the fifth, being relieved by W. Bell, who held the visitors at bay during the remainder of the game. A 5-run rally in which W. Ross was knocked from the mound, gave the Monarchs the no-hit victory. In the aftermath Dean and Rogan hold the visitors to six scattered hits and a lone run, Branahan, who replaced Davis, fattened his strikeout record by voluntary strikeouts, the Monarchs desiring to heat out the darkness which threatened to halt the game. In the first game Russell and Redus each got three haggars and Greecy made the circuit. Jim Bell's running one hand catch, near the center of the field, the second drive was the screaming sensation of the day. So sure was everyone that the Stars had a safe lead in this game that the Monarch's rally in the 7th was a complete surprise. Rogan Stars Tuesday When the champions came from behind to win their fourth consecutive game from St. Louis Tuesday, the race became a neck and neck affair. Joe Rogan was the outstanding star in Tuesday's contest. After hitting for Duncan-in the fifth and cleaning the bases with a triple to tie the score, Rogan replaced Mendez on the rubber and held the visitors while his teammates scored a trio of runs to win 10 to 7. Miller Skopa Monarchs Although they won four of the five games played in the series the Monarchs failed to displace the league leading St. Louis Stars, in the final augmented, President A.

Miller was the outstanding star of Wednesday's contest, Replacing Branahan in the fifth inning, the southpaw held the Monarchs to a lone hit, while his mates bumped Dean to win. The 10 runs scored while Miller was pitching resulted from successive errors in the sixth. Eddie Watt's sensational stab of Moore's cannon ball in the ninth and perfect box to Wells, who relayed at high speed to Bobo, was the final double play that took the breath out of the Monarch's penitent chances.

At the police station the boys confessed to robbing several homes in the city and are being held for the recorders. Bob Wallace, Speed King Wins Another Hubbard to Face Group of World's Greatest Sprinters Cuban boxers scored impressively in the ring of the Commonwealth Sport Club in New York last Thursday night, when Cirilin Olanu, Cuban lightweight champion, and Eugene Fernandez, hard-hitting featherweight, triumphed over United States opponents. Flooring his foe three times, Fernandez won a technical knockout over Willie Granier of Newark, N. J., in the third round, after Olanu had obtained a judge's decision against Kid Dube of Maine in 1980. Fernandez made short work of his foe after failing to get started in the first two rounds. Opening the third of what was to have been a ten-round, he toppled the New Jersey boxer for a count of nine with a straight right drive to the head. Two additional knockdowns were scored before the referee halted the match. Olnano was on top of Dube throughout the match hammering him with a heavy right which kept Dube on the defensive during the greater part of the contest. In the final round Dube allied furiously and beat back the latter in a furl of rights, but the latter finished strongly with a big point lead. The auspicious beginning of the fall racing season in Maryland at the Baltimore County Bowl. Monday, was featured by some of the rarest sport ever seen on that track. The hero of the day was C. P. Jackson, a colored jockey, who rode his mount, South Breeze, owned by Mrs. J. M. Black of Baltimore, to a victory in the third race the flat feature. The race for 3-year olds and up at one and one-sixteenth mile for a purse of $1,000. Jackson took his mount to the front of his seven opponents at the rise of the barrier and always held an advantage during the run twice around the oval. The time for the winner was 1:49 1-5. Tiger Flowers won another one at Cleveland, Ohio, last Monday, when the referee stopped his scheduled 10-round battle with Todd Moore from New Orleans in the sixth round because of the latter's poor showing. Robert (Rob) Wallace triumphed in the special Labor Day 26 mile auto race at the Thornton speedway in Chicago, beating Bill Caron by a few seconds. Wallace recently won the 100 mile race and glory sweepstakes at Indianapolis. DeHart Hubbard of the University of Michigan, the world's greatest broad jumper and one of the best sprinters in competition, will make his initial competitive appearance in Gotham next Monday. He will be a starter in the series of sprint races at the international night track meet being staged by the New York Chapter, Knights of Columbus, at the Yankee Stadium. Hubbard will be opposed by Loren Murchison, Jackson V. Scholz, Alfred Leoneoy, Chester Bowman and Jimmy Todd, a group of the world's greatest sprinters. WASHINGTON. Sept. 9. - More than 550,000 farms in the United States, 35,000 of them in Missouri and 35,000 in Kansas, are equipped with radio. The department of agriculture makes this estimate following a nationwide survey through county agricultural agents. A similar survey in 1924 showed 365,000 farms with radio sets, and in 1923 only 145,000 such farms. Farmers in the corn belt section are the greatest users of radio. Illinois with 40,000 sets on farms leads the list. New York and Iowa are next, each with 39,000; the number on Nex brains farm is 34,000. The man who won't argue is the one who wins the argument.

A coroner's jury action at an inquest into the death, Sunday of Albert Mitchell, 8-year old colored boy of 1860 23rd street. N. W., exonerated his white playmate, Paul Donovan, who inflicted a fatal injury by kicking him in the abdomen while wearing a skate. A verdict issued Monday by the Coroner, Nevitt, stated that the colored boy "came to his death from acute appendicitis, peritonitis and hemorrhage.

MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representatives W. B. Ziff Co. 608 South Dearborn St. Chicago, Ill. Last week we asked Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Republican Committeeman, of the State of Georgia, if he actually recommended one M. O. Dunning, who last year was McAdoo Democrat at the famous convention in New York, and a known Klaagle of the notorious Ku-Khux Klan, for the position of collector of the port of Savannah, the best political plum in Georgia. So far we have heard from McAdoo. Following the publication of an editorial which appeared in the Argus, issue of September 4, under the caption, "Looks like Lily whitism," some of the leaders among the colored voters of the state seem to be alarmed over the situation and have inquired of us what we as a group should do to stop such proceedings; suggesting that we get together and "call their hand." To our mind, there is no need for a show down in this matter. The facts are too outstanding. The leaders of the Republican party in this state believe that they "know the Negro" as many of them have expressed it. They believe that they have the vote of the Negro in their vett pocket to be east at their own will and pleasure. Of course, so far as we are concerned about the actions of state G. O. P. leaders in their lily-white movement, we are not at all alarmed. The only misgivings we have are that some of our leaders may still be slaves at heart and are willing to follow blindly the dictates of these bosses, regardless of who is a candidate, just so long as the bosses say he is all right. We here and now extend the leaders among us not to be alarmed. Stand fast in our own thoughts. Above all, do not pin your faith in anything that looks like lily whitism, for lily whitism means the elimination of the Negroes from the G. O. P. Conneil. We say again, do not be alarmed. They have more to lose than we. This may be a blessing in disguise. If we learn to trust our own thoughts and vote our own choices, then we grow—we make progress—we become men and women that the world will respect. The news of the outburst of racial hatred in a city like Detroit to the extent of precipitating clashes between the whites and the colored, call-stop more than mere passing notice. At the root of this matter is an un-American spirit which violates every principle of the constitution of the United States, which declares the equality of man. To buy, sell, bargain and make contracts are the common rights of a free man. The colored people of this country know that every time these things are denied them by the white man, it means that our economical, political and social status is being reduced. Therefore, we can't but resist this arbitrary power just as any other race or group would do. As citizens of the United States, we are subjected to the laws of the United States, and feel that we also should be protected by the laws of this republic. The colored people in America are a part of the life, customs According to newspaper reports, the Ku Klux Klan has made its way across the seabed and has quite a foothold in Germany. Its object, as announced in Germany is to oppose the Jews. When the Klan started in this country, its annuoneed policy was to oppose the Negroes. We suppose when it goes to another country, it will oppose the Catholics. Then it will be the real American Klan opposing Negroes, Jews and Catholies. Seventy-five per cent of the Missouri Negro population lives in the large cities, according to a statement issued by Robert S. Cobb, Secretary of Industrial Commission. It is not that the Negro is especially fond of city life, but he feels that his life is more secure from Missouri mobs in the cities than in the small towns and on the farms.

Due to the necessities of modern hair dressing for women the talkative barber has at last found his equal: 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 is just coming into its own in the support of our amateur artists in dramatics, music, and aesthetic dancing. Each year sees an increasing number of high class entertainments staged by casts drawn from the large amount of talent among our group. Such a development is perfectly natural when we consider the relatively limited entertainment and recreation facilities under please environment, available to members of our city. One does not enjoy going to the theatre because of fame and climbing. Just as he must do in some of the local theatres, Nor does one enjoy being set aside with extra special arrangements for his seating accommodation. Such preliminaries tend to detract from the pleasure of any entertainment. It is not surprising therefore that each year sees new and better dramatics promoted by different organizations. The Annual Fashion Show of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. which produced the latin comedy "The Beauty of the Infinite beauties; the Annual Urban League Plays which have aided in discovering and developing a great deal of local dramatic talent; the Annual Exhibition by the Pupils of the Mildred P. Franklin Ballet School, presenting our youngsters in nymph-like dances in a fairyland; and the contemplated effort in the production "Thais," are all indications of growing interest in and support of dramatics. The contribution to the cultural life of the community derived from these entertainments is inestable. No member of the cast can go through a course of training necessary for a matricatic pullover to sit in the Otter Theatre without coming out of it with a larger grasp of the aesthetic and beautiful life, to say nothing of the development of his own personal character. Then too, the children who participate are finding new outfits for their ability and talent. Nor can one possess personality well enough to be a leading figure in the consciousness of the increasing aesthetic development of the race. The public should support in every way all of these efforts, not only by attendance, but by encouraging those who are endeavoring to develop the finer and higher side of life through these entertainments because practically all of them are given for some charitable purpose. There will be two excellent opportunities to support, charitable entertainments this fall—Thaas which will be given by the Day Nursery Association on October 2, and the Urban League Fourth Annual Production Awards evening November 6th. Both of the productions will be staged at the Odon Theatre. Plan to attend and to interest your friends to do likewise and thus encourage the work for improving conditions among members of our race by emphasizing cultural development. Chapter III. Days and ever weeks passed before anything was heard of John Heath- wood; but at the end of six weeks the papers were filled with news of the “新 Yorker.” His wealth, earning appearance, smooth brown complexion and the inviting smile which he wore perpetually, were the attractions to the social groups in the nightlights. “I love, song, dancing, strong drinks, and he wrote his delight. Each night there was a new “Mrs. Heathwood.” Motoring too thrilled his many nights which otherwise would have been seemy. “A girl, a kiss, a beat (machine) and the moonlight” said he, “is all my heart desires—just so my wine and whisky accompanies it.” Next week read the Climax. (Chapter 4) FOR THE CONTEST A Glance At The Progress Of The Negro Race (Continued) In 1846 Norbert Rillieus, a colored man of Louisiana, invented and patented a vacuum pan, which revolutionized cooking. He was a machinist and engineer of fine reputation, and devised a system of a average for New Orleans which the city refused to accept because of his color. Another great Negro inventor was Graville W. Woods, who patented more than fifty inventions in the city. Many of his patents were as signed to the General Electric Co., of New York, the American Bell Telephone Co., of Boston and the American Engineering Co., of New York. His work and that of his brother Lester Woods, has been favorably mentioned in the Journal of W. B. Purvis of Philadelphia. an early inventor of machinery for making paper bags. Many of his patients were sold to the Union Paper Bag Co. of New York. Prince Hall, a colored man, was the founder of the African Lodge of Masonry. About 25000 Negroes arrived in America between 1698 and 1707. After 1715 this rose to 20,000 and by 1775 to over 40,000 a year. Bancroft placed the total slave population of the continental colonies at 59,000 in 1714, 78,000 in 1727, and 293,000 in 1754. Negroes formed a fifth of the population of the whole nation. The colony was called Lafayette, a Negro hoetess, was sold to a philorer. Her first poems appearing in 1753 and other editions in 1774 and 1793. Her earliest poem was in memory of George Whitefield. She was honored by Washington and leading Englishmen and was as a writer, above the level of the American white contempoaries.

Camp Is Closed After A Great Season (BY Special Correspondent) CAMP RIVER CLIFF. In the Ozarks. The fourth and most successful session of Camp River CLIFF came to an end Sunday at 4 p. m. when the last happy sessions formed a circle of friendship at the close and the final "Decision Meeting" song: "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" and boarded taxies for the 5:15 Ozark Special. Closing Days The entire fourteen days of the final session were ideal as to weather and excellent as to program, so that at the close of a busy final Saturday campers gathered around three long beds, facing the center of the U. forty happy bed with joy as they sang, toasted each other and "dear old Camp River CLIFF; rendered 'uke' soles and duets and partook of the sliced ham, potato salad, lemonade, ice cream, peaches and camp made cakes.

Chef Jack Polk and Milton Purnell, who remained in camp from July 21st, to Sept. 8, declare that "C. R. C." is really the best place on earth. COLOR'D BOY'S HOME-MADF BOAT WINS LAKE-CLASSIC Lad's Boat Made In Kitchen Outsails Expensive, Finely Constructed Crafts Of Competitors MONTCLAIR, N. J., Sept. 9—The humble often subdues 9—the simple theory of Don Cripps, color ed junior high school student of 106 Forest street, proved itself when his home-made sail boat, the. "Royal James," won the Edgemont Park classie for three foot crafts. Recently he took the "Royal James" to Edgmont Park lake, and stood for a while watching other boys who did not live on lowly Forest street and who were sailing boats, beautiful models, some of them, and worth a great deal of money. And it just happened that on that day there was going to be a race, the annual Edgmont Park classic for three-foot craft. There were grown-ups there to judge the event, and award the prize, a dandy knife with four blades and a screwdriver. Don sought out the starters and entered the "Royal James." "Sure," they replied, with broad smiles, very broad for fashionable, dignified Edgement Park. The "Royal James," product of a kitchen shipyard on Forest street, went scudding down with the breeze and over the finish line yards ahead if the expensive, pretty boats that were luffing and fouling their rivals all over the course. Something distinctly resembling a howl went up from the little boys who lived in Edgement Park and little lisk clenched against the seams of taller, knickerbrockers. But the judges paid up attention. They walked up to Don and handed him the knife with the four blades and the screwdriver. KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. 9 A.

DIAMOND RUSH FOLLOWS RICH STRIKE IN AFRICA JOHANNESBURG. South Africa, Sept. 8—Thousands of workers in this district have abandoned their jobs to take part in a diamond rush to Corsonkral, where several valuable finds have been reported. Already 3,000 claims have been staked off and diamond buyers are said to have purchased stones, weighing as much as twenty-eight carats each, which were found only eighteen inches under the soil. Hundreds of athletes took part in the rush, running several miles to stake claims.

FIZTWATER, D.D., Dam Nassau, N.J.] [Chicago, IL. Nassau, New Jersey, U.S.] Lescon for September 13 - LESSON TEXT - Acts 17:1-15. - GOLDEN TEXT - "Prove all things; sold fast that which is good." - Thessalon 11:1. - PRIMARY TOPIC - Loving God's Word. - JUNIOR TOPIC - Studying God's Word. - INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - Two Kinds of Heaven. - YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC - Searching the Scriptures. 1. Paul Preaching in Thessalonica (vv. 1-4). 1. His Method (vv. 1-2). He observed the divine order, to the Jews first wherever he went (Acts 1:8; Rom. 2:9-10). He was exceedingly anxious for his kinsmen in the flesh, but whatever they proved themselves upright, he turned to the Timeless. His own admiration first should be the method of every missionary, but should not stop there. He went out on the Sabbath day so as to find them assembled together. his mission, and he sands over the same, viz., that Jesus is the Christ. To the Jew the essential thing was to be convinced from the Scriptures. So Paul expounded to them the Scriptures. This is the business of all ministers, to expound the Scriptures, to prove their positions by the Word, Concerning the Christ, he set forth three propositions: (1) The Scriptures prove that Christ must be a sufferer (v. 3). "It behooved Christ to suffer." No plainer reference need be made than Isaiah 53, but it seems that the rabbis of that time had explained away the fact of a suffering Messiah so that the Jewish people were only looking for a glorious and powerful king to come; therefore they rejoiced Christ because of His lowly appearance. The same method of exegesis is employed by many Rite teachers and preachers today. Only the emphasis is placed upon the literal suffering of the Messiah, while they spiritualize and alienize the teaching of the glorious coming of the Messiah to judge His enemies and to reign upon the earth (H Sim. 7:8-18; Isa. 53; Jer. 23:5-8; Zech. 9:14; Luke 1:1-13; Acts 15:14-17). (2) That Christ Must Rise Again From the Dead (v. 3). This he praised by the Scriptures. The resurrection of Christ, and the bodily resurrection of believers, needs sound and practical exposition in our churches today. (3) That the Historic Jesus Whom He Proclaimed Did suffer and Rise From the Dead; Therefore, He Is That Christ, the Predicted Messiah (v. 3). (11. The Attitude of the Jews (vv. 4-10a). While some Jews believed and impied Greeks, the envy of certain Jews was so aroused at Paul's success that they gathered together the worthless fellows of the town and set on foot a riot. They assassinated the house of Tayvon and dragged him before the rulers, having failed to get the missionaries. In their indemnity of the missionaries they uttered unwittingly some great truths. They said: "Those that have turned the world upside down" It is true that the gospel is revolutionary, but it is not treason to right government. The real truth, however, is that the world is now upside down. The work of the gospel is to set it right side up. They turned the preaching of Paul into a specious lie. He did preach the kingship of Jesus (see verse 7), but not as they endeavored to make it appear. Jesus is most assuredly coming to reign on this earth. (Ps. 2). Let all men acknowledge Him in humble submission. III. Paul Preaching in Berea (vv. 16-15). 1. His Method (vv. 10). He entered the Jewish synagogue and preached Jesus into them. 2. The Reception of the Gospel by the Bereans (vv. 11-12). It was with gladness of heart. The message was just as new to these Jews and just as counter to their way of thinking as it was to the Thessalonian Jews, but they had a more noble disposition. The success of the gospel depends altogether on the disposition of the hearers. Two things are end of them: (1) They received the message (vv. 13). (2) They searched the Scriptures daily for the truthfulness of the preaching. For this worthy act Paul says they were more noble than those at Thessalonica.

Chase Associated Press Associated Negro Press Dr. J. W. Gregory, D. Sec. F. R. S. Professor of Geology at the University of Glasgow, and a contributor to various magazines of the better class, has written a study of the difficulties due to the association of white and colored races. It is a book of 264 pages, and is published by the J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia, Pa. In the preface Dr. Gregory makes known his sources of information pertaining to the various races, with reference to persons of color in the United States, saying: "A brief visit to the Negro belt of the United States was rendered, as instructive as it was vividly interesting by kind help along my route." He has clearly demonstrated that one may write a book of the kind and yet keep one's mind alert and one's emotions free from group hypnosis and prejudice. He writes without bias, although in his introductory chapter he says that the struggle for expansion which was the ultimate motive of the World Wars "will inevitably be more bitter and terrible, if it becomes a struggle for existence between the white and colored races." Dr. Gregory refers also to the fact that the births in the darker races have far exceeded the births in the white for the last half century, and, too, he believes the most serious danger to the United States was introduced when Negro slaves were imported for the agricultural and domestic work which the Red Indian would not do." The author gives in a very good summary the progress of the Negro since 1865, traces his educational advancement and in contrast to his material and intellectual progress, remarks that the political position of the race has gone backward during - the last fifty years. He refers, as do all English writers who visit our shores, to the devalal of the full and complete right to vote; he speaks of lynching and of peonage. He cannot take kindly to the various social restrictions, which he points out are perhaps even more bitterly resented than political distranchisement. Dr. Gregory cannot understand our social restrictions, since he observed so many half-wives and near-whiteies. He treats of all the important happenings concerning the important happening, and even race rites, which he believes have had an effect for good. The book does not attempt to speak only of the Monaco of Color as relates to the American Negro, but treats of racial issues throughout - the world. There is an interesting chapter on Asiatic immigration in the United States as well as on the race problem in Africa. rich. The look affords interesting and profitable reading. There is a rather full bibliography and there are several photograph, illustrations. The book is of particular interest to the student, for without it, he is not likely to see how deep these differences of race are. In his summary of conclusions, Dr. Gregory states that probably the Negro will determine the main constitutional development of the United States. In Africa, it is pointed out, "the ultimate superiority of the Negro over most of the continent appears inevitable." He adds that each of the races of mankind has its special merits and each race has made its own contribution to the progress of the world. After relating the various contributions, it is stated, "for the material basis of civilization, iron, the world is probably indebted to the Negro." Dr. Gregory, however, does remotely admit, that there is this color menace, for these are his written words: "*******Sympathetic Intercourse between selected individuals, combined with the segregation of each race as a whole, may be expected to lead to a happier and more peaceful world than the paring friction inevitable when dissimilar people meet in competition for their daily bread. If the racial segregation which the world has inherited from the past is confirmed instead of being broken down by modifying the race of the people of America and Australia would naturally be the chief houses of the white race. Considering its contribution to humanity, that would not be an unfair share. If the white man can secure these continents as his home he can, for the benefit of all, continue to conquer the forces of Nature and thereby strengthen the broad foundations of civilization." The book is of value to students of sociology, especially as dealing with inter-racial relationships. It is recommended for purchase. GEORGIA OFFICIALS PLAN MOVE TO AID UNEMPLOYED Boston, Mass.

LIBRARIAN COURSE IS OFFERED BY HAMPTON HAMPTON, Va., Sept. 2. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, announces that the trustees of Hampton have approved the organization of a two-year collegiate course for the training of librarians which will begin on September 24. The demand for trained librarians for schools, colleges and branch libraries in Northern and Southern cities has opened up a new profession for colored men and women who have had collegiate training. This new librarians' course at Hampton Institute has been instituted at the earliest solicitation of the American Library Association and will give colored men and women a new outlet into a profession which gives opportunity for the widest influence for good. The Hampton Institute course will include, beside the general professional subjects in the conventional library training course, college subjects of an academic character which may be counted for credit toward the regular degree of bachelor of science, which is given for the satisfactory completion of a four-year course. This course will be open to properly qualified students who have completed it standard four-year high school courses and meet the regular Hampton entrance requirements. Dr. George P. Phenix, the principal of Hampton Institute, will consider the credentials of applicants for this library-training course. $43,000 HOME ECONOMICS BLDG. FOR PAINE COLLEGE AUGESTA, Ga., Sept. 2.

It will afford facilities for the thorough preparation of home economies workers, who are in great demand all over the country. The department is under direction of Mrs. Ward, who has had advanced training and years of experience. NEW ERA HAS COME FOR LABOR IN THE SOUTH NEW ERA HAS COME FOR LABOR IN THE SOUTH BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 2 The 'shifting scenes' have brought a new era on the plantations in the south, which bespeech of the change of the Negro in the last decade. Time was—and not many years ago—that the cotton farmer basked in an autumn sun, undisturbed, while hordes of cheap Negro labor gathered his crop. Now he is pestered not only by a scarcity of help, but the price he must pay for labor is something unheard of in a cotton field. It used to be—ten years ago—the pickers weqt at the farm house door bright and early begging work. The price was 30 to 50 cents a hundred—and no prerequisites. Today, in some places, the price is $1.50 a hundredweight, and the pickers are being fed, housed and even carried to the fields in motor cars. They won't walk. Many are, the cars parked alongside cotton fields, in four corners and in farm roads. Gathered a serious question that many farmers hereabouts who plant cotton on an extensive scale are said to be looking about to find other profitable crops. The mechanical cotton picker is not in general use here and the old method of hand picking is the only reliable means of gathering the staple. PRINCE KOJO TO MAKE LECTURE TOUR OF U. S. After a sojourn of many months in Chicago, during which time he has tasted of American color prejudice in many of its phases, has seen much of Negro progress and achievement and has improved his knowledge of the English language, Prince Kojo Tovalou-Houenou of Dahomey, Africa, and Paris, France, will this month begin a lecture tour of the United States under the auspices of the Kojo Lecture Association of Chicago. His itinerary will include all of the principal cities of the United States in which our group resides in large numbers. Among the first cities in Louisiana are New Orleans, Louisville, Kansas City, Topeka, and Atlanta. The dates on which he will appear and the local organizations under-whose auspices he will speak will be announced later through the columns of this paper. Prince Kojo is a very talented, cultured and educated young man. He was born in Dahomey, Africa in 1890 and at the age of ten, soon after the conquest of Dahomey by France, he was taken to Paris by his father, who was the brother of King Behanzi; then whom no greater foeman France has ever met. It is said that Behanzi war with France cost her much money and many lives and that, in this war the famous Amazons of Dahomey conducted themselves with the same valor, and bravery as the men. Behanzi was later exiled and his son and nephew, the latter being Prince Kojo were sent to France as wards of the French government. For 24 years this young African has lived with the French people. He has education, their culture and theirammers in his forced expatriation toward Africa, he has steadfastly remained African heart. His ambitions are for Africa his ideals for Africa and his hopes that Africa shall be liberated from the economic and industrial slavery which now enfold them. That he may remain in close contact with his fellow-countrymen he makes bilingual trips to Dahomey and to other parts of Africa. Prince Kojo pursued his studies at the College of St. Genes at Bordeaux where he received the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts. It is said that he made an enviable record in the classics. He studied Greek, Latin, Sanskrit and French and handles each language with unusual facililities. Later he attended the University of Paris, which he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Arts had become thirty. At present he is the editor and owner of "Les Contents," a newspaper known throughout Europe; he is Professor of Philosophy at the Inter-illied School of Higher Studies, a branch of the Sorbonne. In addition to this he practices law before the Court of Appeals of Paris and in his leisure moments he renders free medical service to patients at one of the free clinics in Paris and in the law of these duties he still finds that he be the President of the Universal League for the Defense of the Black Race, which he is also the founder. Finally, he is the President of the Franco-Dahomian Amity. In coming to America the Prince admits a three-fold purpose. First, he intends writing a book that will deal with the world situation among Negroes. In this respect he considered it most fitting and proper that he should be familiar with the social, political and economic aspects of Negro life in America. He cannot help but recognize the remarkable and unencumbered progress of American Negroes he cannot avoid being conscious of their power, influence, wealth and education, and he feels that any attempts to write about them without actual and intimate contact must necessarily result in perfunctory treatment, to say the least. Secondly, it is his hope that he may be able to interest Negro business men in the commercial possibilities of Africa. Large profits are to be made in cocoa, palm oil oil, rubber, mineral products and other commodities which today make Africa the commercial battleground of the world. He thinks it unlikely that men with business enterprises as reflect the commercial affinity of the Negro, can close their eyes to the vast natural resources of the continent of Africa. Finally he desires to interest all colored Americans in the League for the Defense of the Black Race. This is a semi-political, semi-economic organization designed for the purpose of bringing into closer contact all of these elements which are solicitous of uplift and betterment. He emphasizes the fact that he has not organized this League for the purpose of any other organization, in fact, he is not opposed to any organization working for interest of the Negro. He feels that there is much constructive work to do that there is room for all of those who are intensely interested in the welfare of the race. Prince Kojo is the author of many scientific and literary books and pamphlets, of which are published in French. While in America, it is his purpose to arrange for the translation of his works into English. His latest contributions are "The Invobone in Paris. He is at present working on a legal treatise known as "Comparative Legal Systems." In his present tour the Prince will emphasize racial solidarity, greater contact with each other and with those of other races, racial individuality and consciousness, education, especially commercial, and a broader outlook and vision of all things racial. His intimate acquaintance with willing political figures, his knowledge of the philosophical and psychological realities. C. M.

A timorous people confound not win the battles that have been fought here in Kirkwood. We know we have fought a good light and one worth while to mention. We are about three years old. We have compelled big things, yet there is room for improvement. In heroic deeds and suffering, we endure without dimching. It is therefore necessary to continue ourselves and the generation that we have to educe, that the time for rest has not yet arrived. We must talk and sing too. We must do them one at a time, and by so doing we do them well. When the "Segro is organized" his enemy fears him, but as long as he is divided he is imputed upon more and more. We must do the good work that has been assigned to us. We don't mean to do any bodily harm, but we are simply going to demand one rights as citizens. "A bit of mystery helps a lot in making a sale."

Were the Pyramids built for tombs or astronomical observatories? C. L. K. Denison, Texas. The Pyramids were built to tombs for the dead. That they have certain astronomical aspects is true, but these appear to have been secondary to the main purpose, which was that they were built as tombs for the Egyptians. What better proof that the Egyptians built which we do not process? P. D. G. Springfield, Ohio. Many. Their purpose, nobody, their shuffling, leaving costs, but a few secrets which we do not know. Wis. Zion an African gold! C. C. V. Boston, Mass. Zions was originally Crotan. The Crotans were descendants of African demons and Nazi supposed that Zions was an African deity inscribed as he was believed to have once dwelt in the house of the Pharaoh. * "be prayed" * M. M. J. J. Cannon, Ohio The Methodist evangelist and mission seeker is result of the religious wars Nazi Germany, the Christmas, and the M. Mormon campground. Who was Jehroel? D. K. T. Fulton Ky. Jehroel was a priest of Midian and the father inlaw of Moses. He was of African descent. What was the greatest city of an ancient Ethiopia? G. H. Kenyans Gili Mount. The city of Meredith, often called the Kingdom of Meredith, himself as it was situated on an island north of Egypt. Late archarchologists have claimed the original Ethiopia stretched closer to the northern littoral of Arta, including over the Gold Coast. If this is true then Ethiopia was in a very extensive area. Is it true that some Negroes have submitted to the K. K. K. R. N. Los Angeles City Police? Hardly. The very purpose of the Klim tribes them. If there are any Negroes in it, is that they are passing to Nodle.

My dear lady, don't you know that pure white hair is the only thing. Nothing is more hospitable than a head of prettiest gray hair, especially when the passenger has a worthful glove and hats. Although I have always had great success with hair dying. I always do it well. vise the customer against the practice, but there are always people who will try anything once. Since your hair has been ruined, why not cut it as close to your head as is safe and wear a white transformation until it grows out again. In a few months it will be grown out and be a solid color, and then your hair will not contain all of the colors of the rainbow. Halon—Plucking the eyebrows is a painful process. Why not shave them if they must be shaved. However a little waxy wapped applied with a cotton pad just before plucking may smooth the tender skin around the eyebrows. Miss Jacqueline—There seems to be a divided opinion among the authors as to whether or not we should wash our faces with some or use colo cream to clean our faces. Personally, I think the constant use of cold cream alone elonges the pores. Each night, before retiring, I would wash my face in fairly hot water, using a pure *custard soap*. A fine cannel hair brush in a course wash cloth dries. I be used vigorously, respectively, in Chicago, where dust and grime gather quickly. I would use a sponge. Sponges are cooled and they invite infection, but then the greatest asset to good health. Of course the face should be rinsed in several waters until no soap remains. After that, if the skin is in need of drying, a little cold cream can be applied with good results. HOOSIT? By Robert P. Edwards Associated Negro Press 12.

The gold of gift and the lure of the social world are yearly taking a heavy toll from the academic class rooms, where youths in their "teens" should be absorbing English, Algebra. History and kindred subjects of useful training in preparedness. There are two distinct elements involved in the academic courses which Youth should greedily addroar to grasp. (1) The foundation of possessives, and (2) brain training. The latter units Youth to refined contacts, and the latter give him power and reasoning capacity when dealing with life's inter problems. Too often those Youth argue that Physics and Geometry will not add to his prestige as a butcher, baker or mollestek macker. Yet actual experience argues that the youth teachs in academic lines is superiority of effort over his contrasty, regardless of the occupations, each may be pursuing. And the brain exercise which comes from concentration in preliminary and high school courses is Youth for stern battles with the great things of life. In this day and time there is no excuse for Youth's early abandonment of the academic class room, where he may avail himself of education's essentials. There are countless night and day high schools; and last but not least there are schools of correspondence from which a fair knowledge of academic courses may be gained. Negro youth, each day meeting a strenuous life of double competition, within and without the race, owe a special duty to themselves and their racial seniors to ground themselves in the virtues of academic studies. State and public are working hand in hand in supplying funds and equipment for this training; and whether looking toward the trades, industries, or other grim jobs, Youth should, for his and his sake, deeply of the spring of knowledge. Particularly, Youth should make sure that he has trained the public school courses up to the grades of the university. On Board Dixie Land's Special Believe it or not, last week we spent a "delightful" six-hour period riding a Jim Crow car just behind the entrance of a Dixieland Special. We traversed the Mississippi border through Tom Lee's district. We were a bit unacmy from the time the conductor said: "What you goin', boy?" to the time alighted at Princeton, Ky., and found the "colored waiting room. We had not tried to purchase Pullman seats because a porter told us the conductor told him that the company had ordered that no such accommodations should be sold to colored passengers. Furthermore, a colored woman who had recently escaped through on a Pullman from Chicago had been handled very roughly just a few weeks prior to our "pleasure" trip. Anyhow, on boarding the Dixieland Special we were cautiously guided to the engine end of the Jim Crow car, great palms being taken least we come in contact with the white folks. This particular coach was a "mixed" smoker. That is to say, it was for colored ladies, gentlemen, and children—but it was a smoker right on. The non-smoker car was for whites only. The conductor ambitions audited his accounts in the Jim Crow coach, and of course, no one dared to trespass the sacred seat of the "Captain." An indistinct colored porter seemed to be performing a myrid of duties. He was first assistant to the "Captain" as well as the brakeman. Now—and then he gave the engineer a signal at the conductor's bidding. He kept the Jim Crow coach clean; and when the white coach behind developed a hot box, he seemed to be the only expert present who was versed in packing boxes and greasing the cups. For these duties, I learned he received the princely sum of fifty-five bucks per month, with occasional tips. So far as we could see, the colored passengers matched the whites in intelligence, conduct and general appearance. Now and then brothers in overall boarded the Jim Crow coach, in greater numbers than the whites occasionally, a white passenger would enter the coach, and upon seeing its content, would hasten to find his "oppa." The side was genuinely depressing, but not without some inspiration, for just before we crossed the Ohio, a brother looked up and said, "I know you, mister, don't think this is the case." He is going to last much longer. My people are getting tired of it and the companies don't like it. I wouldn't be surprised if some day it's broken up." And we breathed a sigh of relief as we changed trains to just a plain, ordinary B. & O. day coach, mixed and without the soiled looks of suplicon we had observed on board the Dixieland Special. An Italian Protest According to Count Antonio Clippone, an Italian Fassist, Falf Friginey is now dreaming of a supremacy in Northern Africa similar to Germany's pre-war dreams. The Count assures that it is now the French policy to exert oppression in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, and assimilate a gigantic program of continental expansion palsom. In this contemplation, the weaker wing of French sardon must. bend to the group of solifish projectionists who would elevate the strong upon the backs of the weak. There must be keen virtue; both commercially and economically, in Africa; so intense are the efforts, of nations to exploit her resources. King Leopold, of Belgium, had his day in Africa, and paid his toll. Great Britain has tencelonely elung to her African holdings with 99-year lease and other instrumentalities which permit self aggrandizement. And now comes France according to Cippice, with eager hands of invasion of the moral rights of a peaceful people, who have paid their respects to France in past years by sending "shock" troops to line the battle trenches in defense or offense of France. Of course, it does not take a Buncoft or a Mussy to forsell the failure of such selfish aim. The period of international proscription is about it at its end. This truth is realized the world over, even to Dixieland and France, if it is really seeking a supremacy bled upon conquest, physical or economic, is wasting her usefulness upon a desert which is strewn with the bleaching bones of vanquished conquest seakers. John Temple Graye; Dereased Our old newspaper colleague, Editor Ryan of Ryan, an Ryan's weekly, Tacoma, Washington, was kind enough to refresh our recollection of the Atlanta, Ga. plots and flowing blood of Atlanta streets where hundreds of innocent Negroes were winnowly slain. Editor Ryan was an investigation was started by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the best white people of the South rushed to Atlanta. The Church took an equally prominent part, John Temple Grives, teaching with hats, was asked to leave Atlanta. Negroes were asked by the Chamber of Commerce to tell their side of the story and a tale unfolded that put the Rev. John activities to shame. Exit John Temple Graves, nationally mourned here of the white press and wielder of a pen of blood and conquest, bestirring racial hatred and condoning crime. Such literary exploits as Mr. Graves performed were surely overblown by his prolonged fomentation of trouble between the graves in Atlanta. Thus it is, that the civil some men do is written in the hands of forgetfulness and washed away, while their "noble" deeds are made the play toys of typesetters and thievic experts of that sector of the great white press which still advocate racism and rioting. We deed to being homage to all men, both past and present, and of whatever hurt their complication might be; but Editor Ryan is right in his portrayal of the departed John Temple Graves, whose soul, we gray, is resting in peace, but whose contributions to one hundred per cent Americans and were fulfilled by his conduct towards the dark tenth part of America's population. A Daniel Come To Judgment- A Panel Come to Judgment— "There is a good deal of humbness to the Anglo-Saxon superiority, touching the Anglo-Saxon superiority, though many clinging desperately to such a belief," rewinds the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer to the mournful monologue of President Wanamaker of the American Cotton Association, who recently said: "It may be gravely questioned whether America is any longer, in the fullest sense of the word, an Anglo-Saxon nation. Eliminate the pure strains of blood that still continue to flow in the veins of the South and West, and it certainly is so. In the South the Anglo-Saxon country dominant, but here there are millions of color, who have no adequate common of what true Anglo-Saxonism is." regret there is where President Wanamaker spilled the beans, as the Cincinnati Enquirer thoughtfully admits. The millions of colored people in the South and elsewhere have no quarrel with those who would preserve the purity of Anglo-Saxon blood. And, quite contrary to the theory of President Wanamaker, they quite thoroughly understand the whims of the blood supremacy in the solid territory named by the cotton manufacturer. To them the Anglo-Saxon corpuscles speak in stirring terms of Jim Crowism, sought to be made applicable to every sphere of life traversed by America's black people. If this be supremacy, then God forbid its contempt in any race. Rather be it its acquiler mildly implies to President Wanamaker, "that America of tomorrow is Anglo-Saxon, but it need be none the less a land of free people—of democracy, freedom and independence." To which we would gratefully adi "amen"—for even as Lincoln said a nation could not endure half slave and half free, neither can a country which is striving to merit the standards of true democracy endure while an element of its content I am over and other struggling element, if an holier than thou" has no place in America—at least George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, General Grant and Theodore Roosevelt did not think so. And they were Anglo-Saxons, too. National Negro Bar. Under the inspirational leadership of John George H. Woodson, of Des Moine Hill, Missouri, he has been invited to fill an application for membership in the American Bar Association, a groun of eminent Negro counsellors at law recently hold a conference and organized themselves into a National Negro Bar Association, with regional directors in various districts of the country. This new legal body will, of course, in the groupal sense, promote quasis-fraternism, professional integrity, greater intensive training, and more intre- sive training, and attorneys among diligency of organization among colored lawyers similar to that exemplified by the American Bar Association, from which, for no meritorious rea- son, Negro attorneys are barred in this day and time, although Hon. William H. Lewis, of Massachusetts, was admitted some time ago. The law, if no where else, color should be irrelevant; and there is some else likely to do whether a Negro Bar Association quickens or diminishes some concious ness of racial differences. Be that as it may, if both the white and the colored profession will look at the We Tell the Truth ---when we say: "We print anything from a tag to a newspaper." spectacle of the new Bar Body in the proper way, much good can be accomplished by the Woodson creation within the next decade; and if we were able to speak as a unit in behalf of the National Negro Bar Association here is what we would briefly tell the world: "We, the colored lawyers of the United States, duly qualified as citizens under, and advocates of the law, knowing that the justice of law and of equity recognize no legal color distinction between citizens of the United States, but realizing that selfishness has, by color barriers, frequently exalted itself to the prejudice of the right, have gathered ourselves together, not because of any feeling of inferiority either as citizens or as members in good standing of the American Bar, but, rather because we, in mass formation, believe that we can, by compact example, illustrate the fallacy of racial differences in this country, and help the weak to reason out just-why the law has created all men free and equal. "We khall adhere to a policy of training for ourselves and for others, in the larger hope that some day the law, both oral and written, shall assert itself. The formation of our association is not to be construed as an abandonment of our activities in local and other bar associations, to which we are morally and legally eligible as members. It is merely a racial parent body—a directorate, as it were, of our bill of particulars as inseparable parts of the great American Brotherhood, whose theories we intend to prosecute from precepts cos we are resolved to improve. "It would be better. If the Negroes had a prosperous state of their own, but that would take a miracle to bring about," says the editor of the Chicago Tribune in his explosions of August 11, 1825, upon the luminous subject of Russian Sovietism, which, co-cludes the editor, "If spread seriously through the American Negro population" might materialize into an attempt, on the part of Negroes to deprive the whites of their property and their government. What pathetic and terrible nonsense!" The Windy City Editor is quite correct in resorting to the word "Nonsense"; only he did not give it wide enough-play in his plattitudinal editions. "Nothing in the Good Book which indicates that Negroes grove the "corner" of white man's property; or government; or, for that matter, of the white man's Heaven or Hell, the latter of which, we ophia will be available to all qualified applicants upon the basis of share and share alike. We recall another white. advocate of a separate state for Negroes who tried to interest us in such a project. He prescribed some cactus and alfalfa land in the southwestern U. S. A. and when we told him that inasmuch as we came from the "wicked" but wealth. State of New.York—an area which we might be willing to consider in case the separate state idea becomes a reality, he said, like the Tribune-Editor, that it would take a miracle to bring it about—that is the allotment of New York, or Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, or Illinois, for that matter. Separate state advocates, and each and every one of them believe just as the Tribune Editor believes, that the government and the country belong to the white man. (Their theory is something like the legal theory of "finding." The "finding" of property takes title against everybody but the "owner.") The Indians and others who at one time were monarchs of the district they lived over here, including the district over the Chicago Tribune Editor now holds and dashes off "funny" editorials, been thrown into the discord, and only hundred per centers (whatever they are) can swell their breasts and sing "My Country, Tis of Thee." (what pathetic and terrible nonsense!) What a tragedy it woul be if all "Americans" were boiled down to the nth degree, their alloy knocked off. and their true substance left remaining. If this were done, or to go a step farther, if the Chicago Tribune were dependable, for make-up and sales, upon one hundred per centers only, we wonder how long it (the Tribune) would last. No no Mr. Editor: America is the world experiment of national Godliness, where poet and pessant may dwell in peace and harmony and love. The twinship of Americans, despite race or color, is the one thing by which we know that man was made in the image of God; and unless there is a separate state hereafter, we need not separate here; for even if we miss seeing God here, we don't want to miss seeing Him hereafter. Do you, Mr. Editor? Trade Schools. Have a Care— The rumor has come from a number of prominent cities that vocational and trade school facilities are frequently advising. Negro students against taking certain courses, as to which, say the advisors, there is no demand for Negro graduates. In not a few cases of this kind, students who have been selected in taking the subjects which they had originally selected, have been diverted to other courses only to suffer the embarrassment later in life of receiving a call for the first chosen work, but being unable to accept the call because of being trained therefor. Public school trade courses and vocational subjects belong to the taxpayers, and, through them, are imputed to the public benefit. In their appointment to students, it is readily admitted, the vocational guides and course directors have important duties to perform. Nevertheless, the student has some rights in the matter, one of which is to select, by and with the advice of his parents or guardian, the subject or course which he and they desire. Having done so, it is no part of the intention of those who make the public schools available, that the student should be disarranged or" persuaded by, in school "whenever there are no proper about, seeing New York or certain choice trades or vocations. Rather, the student should be left free to go his own trade way and accept his own responsibility for the future. It was Abraham Lincoln who said: "I shall study and prepare myself: some day my opportunity may come." And it is an unconscionable deed in these modern times to quell the initiative of ambitious youths by providing them through the taxpayers' money, with "something just as good." Trade School, please have a care! COLORGRAMS *Dred Scott is dead, but his soul is marching on. If you don't believe it, ask William Jennings Bryan.
