First Of His Race To Be Elected A National Committeeman Funeral Services Simple, But Attended By Many Notable Personages. President Coolidge Sends Message To Widow (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 16. Henry Lincoln Johnson, for nearly a quarter of a century one of the race leaders, who once was recorded as a sexist, was Republican national committee from, Coburg, died at 12:30 o'clock Thursday morning at Freedom's Hospital, where he was taken after a stroke, of apoplexy suffered while at his home, 1481 S street, Sunday evening. Mr. Johnson never regained consciousness following the stroke. His widow and two sons, Henry Lincoln Johnson and a friend of the family were with him at the time of his death. Johnson rose from poverty and illiteracy of a slave home in Georgia, where he was born in reconstruction days, to a position of great influence. No man in recent years outranked him in political cunning and power. He held sway in Georgia when race leaders in the Southern States were eliminated in Republican party and the political arena. Ah efforts to oust him ga leader of the G. O. P. of Georgia failed. Johnson was born at Augusta, July 27, 1870. As a boy he determined to obtain an education. He was a graduate with the degree of B from the Atlanta University He graduated from the University of Michigan and practiced in Jackson and Atlanta, Ga. President Taft appointed him Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, and he held that office from 1912 to 1916. He was considered a capable official. Johnson was a forceful mentor. Having a vivid imagination, a keen sense of humor, he was a good man, a tough and tumble debater. The Georgia whites would not have voted him into public office, but as a citizen and a lawyer, he was generally respected. At the time of his death Johnson was Republican National Committeeman and patronage dispenser-for Georgia. He was deputy governor of Republican Conventions from 1896 to 1834. The first effort to put Johnson in public office failed because of opposition in the Senate. President Harding appointed him Recorded of Deeds but the Senate indicated its unwillingness to accept him, because some political charges were broadly barred by him. **Won Many Notable Fights** C. Bascom Slemp, Republican boss of Virginia for years and an authority of Southern politics undertook to organize the Lilly Whites and minimize the Negro influence in the South, but was thwarted in Georgia by Johnson. Harding was elected Clarence B. Miller of Minnesota, then Secretary of Republican Nationat-Committee. Joe Keeling, Republican Committeeman of Indiana, and other active G. O. P. chiefs undertook to oust Johnson in his home State. They went to Atlanta and organized a white militia. L. Phillips, patronage distributor.

Sept. 4, 2014-For the first time in history of American politics a race woman has gained the distinction of membership on the Republican National Committee. The inquiry to be thus distinguished as the first race woman to hold this position is Mrs. Georgia S. Williams, of Savannah, Ga., who succeeds, temporarily to the seat made vacant by the death of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Mrs. Williams will hold the post until the State Republican Executive Committee names Johnson's successor who will serve until the State Republican Convention next April. It is said that Johnson's death has created a complicated situation in Republican affairs in Georgia. The party is said to be badly split into factions, whose alignments are constantly changing and a heated scramble is said to be in prospect for the seat made vacant by Johnson's death. HUGHES HITS INTOLERANCE OF AGE IN U.S. Declares Rights Of All Individuals, Opinions And Reliefs Must Be Respected To Have Justice "Maintain Constitutional Guarantee Only So Long As Safeguard Civil And Religious Liberty." DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 16—A plan for the constitutional rights of individuals and a warning on the intolerant spirit of the age, care for an addict of Charles E. Hughes, former secretary of state, in opening the annual convention of the American bar association last week. Must Be Reasoned Out "The most ominous sign of our time, as it seems to me, is the indication of the growth of an intolerant spirit," said Mr. Hughes. It is more dangerous when armed, as usually is with sinners, in a spirit whose wrath must be turned away by the soft answers of a sweet reasonableness. It can be exercised only by invoking the genius which watched over our infancy, and has guided our development—a good genius, still potent let us believe—the American spirit of civil and religious liberty." Liberty Thru Justice Mr. Hughes said we should not put our trust in "papers or in legalism." "We shall maintain our constitutional guarantees," he said, "only so long as they embody the American spirit. The fundamental need is not satisfied by the fundamental law, but only by a tenacious grasp of the fundamental principles which back of that law is respected, illustrated and applied by law." In referring to the growth of the intolerant spirit, he said: "Our institutions were not devised to bring about a uniformity of opinion. If they had been we might well abandon hope. It is important to remember, as has well been said, that the essential characteristic of true liberty is, that under it shelter many different types of life character and belief can develop unmolested and unobstructed. Nowhere could this shelter be more necessary than in our own country with its different racial stocks, variety of faiths and the manifold interests and opinions which attest the vigor and zest of our intellectual life. Protect Individual "Let not the vital principle be obcurred by mere disguises of conspiracy. We justly prize our safeguards against abuses, but they will not last long if intolerance gets under way." Liberty, he said, is now in need of safeguards and protection against organized endeavors and against bureaucracy, so that "the citadels of individual liberty" may not be surreanded.

LOUIS, MO.; FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1925 Ten Negroes Must Face Murder Trial For Shooting Whites In Fight To Protect Home N. A. A. C. P. To Decide Question Of Residential Segregation From National Scope. Hold Meet DETROIT, Mich. Sept. 16. — A bitter legal battle with, far-reaching significance is about to be fought here, as a result of the fatal wounding of one white man and the infliction of another in a segregation chase in this city on Wednesday night of last week, a thing that had long been calculated the inevitable outcome of the wave of prejudice that has been the country due to the increased tendency that has taken hold of the American Negro to seek for better homes and conditions. Forces Organize At a gigantic mass meeting held Sunday at the Second Baptist church by the N. A. A. C. P. forces that will stand as champions of justice for the ten colored persons held for the shooting under both murder and intent to kill warrants, organized. At the same time various white "protective associations" in the city were holding special meetings in preparation to defend the cause of residential segregation, and back Assistant Chief Professor Lester S. Moll, who issued murder warrants against the colored citizens. Moll opposed the granting of balls, even after counteracting writs of labors corpus issued. by Judge Arthur Webster, which would have released the prisoners. Seeks Serve The tenseness of the situation gave grave concern as a deceased known that efforts will be made to convict the ten colored persons under warrants: Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, 30 years old; Dr. Oils Sweet, 29 years old; Henry Sweet, 21 years old; Bernard C. Morse, 42 years old. All the above persons live at 400 Contreil avenue south. The Sweets are both John Lattig, 25 years old, 2054 Garland avenue; William B. Davis 14 years old, 208 Brush street; Davis is a federal narcotic agent who came to Detroit from New York three months ago. Claude B. Washington, 34 years old; 552 Rowena street; Joseph anck, 24 years old, 2052 Garland avenue; Bennie Steers 20 years old, 881 Rowena street; Mrs. Gladys Sweet wife of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, are held on a charge of manslaughter in the first degree which carries a maximum penalty of life, imprisonment or death. Mull said when he issued the murder warrants. "Sentiment must play no part in the prosecution of this case. The evidence shows no act of violence or prosecution on the part of the victims or any other persons, and the crime must be called premeditated murder. The prisoners were found in a room filled with deadly weapons. As we are unable to say who fired the fatal shots we must charge; then all equally with the crime. "While bail is discretionary in murder cases I do not think any judge will release these prisoners before trial; and this office opposes any such nerve." N. A. A. C. P. Prepared At the meeting held at Second Baptist church Sunday, M. L. Walker vice-president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, stated the problem under discussion was national in scope and affected every colored person in the United States. "The national association stands behind us in this attitude" he stated "and will stand behind it to the last quarter." Appointment of an interracial commission to work out a way of avoiding trouble between the white and colored races of Detroit, was recommended in a resolution passed. The resolution was submitted by W. Hages McKinney, national counsel of the association. It suggested the colored representatives of the commission to be elected by the association. "We welcome Mayor Smith's suggestion that such a commission be appointed," said Mr. McKinney. "We believe, however, that the colored representatives on it should be mamed by the national association—by persons who understand the psychology of the Negro race." Overflow Crowd Attends The meeting was well attended, the crowd overflowing into the street, and a substantial sum of money was collected with which to carry out the defense of the ton Negroes. In opening the meeting, McKinney said in part: "This is a time for sober thinking; a time for sober analysis of the situation confronting the colored people of Detroit; a time to use our best judgment. "We have met for the purpose of defending and advancing our property rights. We do not want the minds of our people enflamed, but should look at the problem from the standpoint of Confucius, who said: "Let me live this life each day so that I can look back and say that I have harmed no one!" Nothing tires us more than good people who have no sense. DEAF-MUTE IS SLAIN BY TEX. OFFICER HOESTON, Tex, Sept. 16.

A. A. C. P. Cities Injustice Done Colored Pepole By Unfavorable Newspaper Comment NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Following a number of recent crimes in and near New York City, for which innocent Negroes were arrested, only to be discharged for lack of evidence, the New York World asked for and featured on September 8, a statement from Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., protesting against the injustice done to individual Negroes and to the entire race. The terrible murder of little Mary Daily by the mental defective, Harrison Noel of New Jersey, said Mr. White, "brings to light a second eye within recent months in the Metropolitan area in which Negroes have been made victims of mug hysteria. "In the Daily murder the first reports told of the kidnapping by a Negro. Race prejudice flamed into existence and if I rampaged Pierce, the Negro taxi driver, had not been killed some hours before by Noel, there is a possibility that he would have been killed by a mob. "A short time ago the newspapers carried alarming headlines telling of the arrest of a number of Negroes aused of the murder of Florence Kane in Brooklyn. Investigation has resulted in the release of every one of the Negroes arrested and no longer is a Negro suspected of committing that brutal murder. "Negroes have been time and again victimized, and all Negroes have been made to suffer through, too great eagerness on the part of public officials, often to cover up their own negligence or their lack of information, to accuse Negroes because it is a popular thing to do." Commenting upon this statement published in the N. Y. World and effect upon public sentiment as evidenced by numerous other newspapers, the had received, Mr. Bailor, it was an object lesson in the Negro's opportunity to influence the conduct of white dailies. "If colored people will let white editors know of their displeasure when it is sought to fasten crime upon individual Negroes and on the race, if they will write letters to and call up on editors in person, they can not only change the attitude of white newspapers but profoundly affect through those newspapers, the sentiment of the entire community. Colored people should stop buying newspapers which continue to abuse them, and they should let the selfless know of it. No one should treat them with cruelty or white. The results achieved will depend entirely on the energy of colored people in going, after these results." NATL BAPT. CONVENTION CLOSES GREAT SESSION AT KANSAS CITY, MO. NATL BAPT.

"The St. Louis Stars and Kansas City Monarchs will start their series of nine games this Saturday, at the Stars' Park, to decide the baseball championship of the Negro National League, and this city is beginning to experience the thrill of excitement that goes with the anticipation of being the home of a pennant winner..... Some forty years ago, the old St. Louis Brown won the championship three successive seasons, in the only National organization that existed. Since that time no club has been able to bring that honor to this city. Stars Half Way The Stars have already won a half pennant this year and the contests beginning Saturday are to decide which club is to be crowned with the coveted honor of being the possessors of the 1925 flag. This is the first time in the history of the colored league that a play-off series has been necessary. The club owners decided last winter to divide, the series into two halves, and the clubs that won the first and second halves would play a series for the championship. The Monarchs, won the first half with the Stars second, and the second was reversed in the second section. The team that won the two clubs will play three games here at Stars' Park, Compton and Market; each contest starting at 2:35 on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The clubs will then move to Chicago, where games will be played on the next Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September 26, 27, 28.

EYES Special to The Argus KANSAS CITY, May 16, 15—The Kansas City Monarchs sharpened their batting and fielding edges this week by taking five straight games from the Birmingham-Black Barons. With the exception of the last game, all of the games were looked over some great pitching. The team will leave Kansas City for St. Louis Thursday and will work out either Friday morning or afternoon on the Stars grounds. The team feels full of confidence and are looking forward to the big series with Hildale. The boys have hooked up with the Stars in 13 games this season winning 12, and losing two, and typing one; and from past performances the Monarchs expect to be a 2 to 1 favorite at the start of the series. Saturday with the Stars. On paper they will win all of the Stars they will have better pitching and will out smart and outfield the Stars, which means that there is little comparison. The recent series with the Stars caused the Champs, very little worry, and they are going to St. Louis to win. Duncan and Foreman are better catchers than Murray and Barnes Hawkins is a smarter first sacker than Bobo, and in the recent series he outplayed Bobo, two to one. Allen at second is the class of the league Moore has no equal in Negro base ball. Joseph is the best thirdsucker in the league. McNair, Mothel, Johnston and Sweatt in the outfield rank over all outfielders. The staff with Dean C. Bell, W. Bell, Drake, Newer and Mendez is far superior to Ross, Davis, Branahan, Hensley and Miller. The Monarchs are a great series team and their playing in the big series last season will be a great help to them in the series with the Stars. For the Stars, they can hit, so can the Monarchs. The same old car barn has been located in the same place for the past two years and the Monarchs has no fear of the same. It was there this spring. McNair, the crack fielder of the Monarchs, has been out of the game for several days resting up a sprained tendon, but will be ready to take his place in the regular lineup at St. Louis. The Monarchs will be guarded at the West End Hotel while at St. Louis, and at the Vincennes while at Chicago. Plenty of music on the Chicago and Alto R. Night Sept. 25-$6.00 Round Trip.

This has caused many judges to believe the Stars completely outclassed but the comparison is unfair and close students of the game expect one of the hardest fought contests in the history of colored-baseball.

Sept. 22.—The Kansas City Monarch made it five straight out of Birmingham by winning a doubleheader on Sunday, a single game on Monday and another double session on Tuesday. Hain prevented the opening game on Saturday. The Monarchs shut out the Black Barons in both games. On a dunk and soggy held and with heavy ladies skies hanging overhead the local fans who braved the dark and cool day were rewarded by seeing two of the best played games of the season here today, when the Monarchs defeated the Black Barons in both ends of today's doubleheader, by the scores of 1 to 9 and 3 to 0. The first game was the fastest game ever played on the local diamond, the exact time being one hour and five minutes. Big Pimp Drake was on the mound for the locals and pitched one of the best games of his career, holding the visitors to five scattered hits. Squire Moore started for the Barons and was the first to score. The locals scored their first and only run being replaced by Williams, who held the Champs scoreless-for the balance of the game. Another feature of the game happened in the third innings; when the Barons were retired on three pitched balls by Drake. The second game was a picker's battle between Rogan and Squire Moore. Moore pitched a brilliant game holding the locations to four hits while Rogan was touched up for 6 hits. Brilliant fielding and great throws from the outfield by both teams cut down runs at the plate.

Both pitchers were in great form, the locals getting 5 hits off of Moore, while the visitors got six off of Dean. Moore struck out seven men and Dean 5. The one run made by the visitors today was their first run in three games.

My club is not a great club when you compare the players man for man, but the players man for team. The team play should win for them. The boys are going into this series to win and will make it hard for Mendez and Co. Don't be surprised if the Stars play in the World's Series." Record breaking crowds are expected at the three games here. The management has arranged to comfortably take care of the extra thousands. Although the games are scheduled to start at 2:30, the gates will be opened at 11 o'clock on Sunday, and at noon on Saturday and Monday. The general admission will be $1.00 and be the extra.

Sept. 15—With the first football game to be played October 3, football practice was begin September 7 with Coach Harry Graves at the halls. August, Coach Graves issued a call for 40 to begin practice September 7 and all but a few have responded to the call. It is expected that the remaining quota will be on hand registration day, together with a number of new players. "This is the second year for Coach Graves as the Bulldog mentor and he will have with him the same men as last year. With a better understanding of the Michigan system a greater year of football for Wilberforce is in the dawning. Coach Graves has something up his sleeve this year to all opponents he took all opponents for he took a Summer course in theory and practice of football at Ohio State University under the famous football mentor, Dr. Wilce. Wilberforce football fans are boasting this season that if it is beaten by any other team that team will know it was a game, and the Wilberforce slogan is "Best Howard, Lincoln and Cox." He is outgoing out the command of Coach Graves—"Fight hard and play fair" it is felt the slogan will be reality. By the way applications have flooded the registrar's office. It looks as if Wilberforce will have an increase in enrollment of some five or six hundred students, among whom are a number of athletes from various high white schools of football and basketball, and students of other Negro colleges and universities, according to announcement from the registrar's office. To withhold the schedule Wilberforce is to undergo this year, facts will tell where she stands in the football world as South, East and West. Atlanta University will play Howard this year. Tuskegee will play Atlanta. Morris Brown will play Morehouse, Talladega and Atlanta. West Virginia will play Howard and Lincoln, Wilberforce and Morris Brown. Howard, Lincoln and West Virginia. Should Wilberforce beat Morris Brown and whether or not Morris Brown beats Atlanta, but should Howard beat Atlanta and Atlanta beats Tuskegee—or if West Virginia beats Howard and Lincoln and Wilberforce beats Howard, Lincoln and West Virginia, as is its slogan, naturally Wilberforce will stand out as National. Negro college athletes will be playing at Notre Dame football world this year as Notre Dame did last year, among white schools. Coach Graves with his assistants are centering all efforts to leave no stone unturned to make these 'ifs' and "Ands" a reality. GRANTLAND RICE SAYS "While Harry Wills in complaining bitterly of Jack Dempsey's tactics in the Run-Around League, Wills in turn cannot hear the equally bitter complaints of George Godfrey, the big Negro fighter, who has been on Wills' spoor for almost a year. Godfrey would be no part of a set-up if this match was ever made. He is bigger than Wills, younger than Wills, faster than Wills and a better boxer than Wills. These are assets not to be overlooked. Godfrey, knocked out Tate after Tate had hold Wills about even in two ten-round affairs. A Wills Godfrey contest would draw its share of gold bullion for a cold winter just ahead, but Wills, in the meanwhile, is slipping Godfrey the same type of dead-eye which Dempsey is handing him."

ROBESON SCORES IN LONDON PRESENTATION LONDON, Sept. 16. — The London Times, Manchester Guardian and other famous English papers were loud in their praise of the acting of Paul Robeson who appeared here in the play *Englewood* (Nellie peror Jones). The play *war* was pronounced an eminent success, chiefly because of the superb acting of Robeson in the role of Emperor Jones. CUTS DETECTIVE'S FINGER Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 16. Cornered by Detective Edward E. Ogle, after an exciting automobiles chase, Samuel Henson drew a knife and made a lunge for the officer. The latter threw up his right hand and caught a blow from the weapon with his middle finger which was slashed vertically, a la the banana in a split. He finally subdued and arrested his assailant.

PREJUDICE VS THE CONSTITUTION Race prejudice is the most dangerous element in our country today. It is the basis of all discrimination, segregation and Jim Crowism, and many other evils. It has grown so strong until it has polluted the Constitution, deprived native Americans of their civil, political, educational and economic rights. We are particularly interested in the turn which race prejudice has taken toward the purchasing of homes by colored people in the various cities of the North. The home is the basic unit of our great government. Good citizenship is bred in the home. Loyalty, the fundamental element of good citizenship, is taught, yea, inspired in the home. The foundation for an education is laid in the home. Morality, highly desirable as an element of good citizenship, is dependent upon a good home for its nurture and high standing. Christianity if you please, is always taught and inspired around the fireside of a good home. Therefore, this apparent concerted prejudicial prevention of Negroes from purchasing a good home in a desirable location, is a blow at every fundamental element of good citizenship, at the Constitution and the very progress and success of this great democratic government of ours. Talking about a "Red domination of this country" we should recognize the "Red" in this effort to prevent Negroes purchasing desirable homes as the most damnable and dangerous element in the country today. This prejudice is aimed strictly at the Negro. All other nationalities, whether Jew or Gentile, Chinese, Greek, Turk, Mexican, German or what not, can and do purchase homes even in the localities absolutely barred to Negroes. Yet, the Negro pays his taxes as well as all other people. He is subjected to the same laws and their enforcement, as all other people, if not a little more so. While his loyalty to this Government has never been questioned. leggers and all other law violators may purchase a home in the very block which would bar the Negro. This country has made astounding progress in the past ten years. As a law abiding citizen of this country, the Negro is in every respect an American. As such he has profited, as has all other Americans, by this wonderful progress. Other Americans have made more money, built larger business enterprises, attended colleges and universities in larger numbers and desired and built larger, better and more modern homes. The Negro has gone thru the same experience. He has made more money, attended schools and graduated in larger numbers. His standard of living has been raised. He, too, desires larger, better and more modern homes. Would he be human, would he be a good loyal American, would he be a good citizen to live in this inspiring atmosphere of astounding progress and not parakeet thereof? It is simply the natural course of events and when people permit their prejudices to take the upperhand of their reason, and attempt to prevent the purchase, building or establishment of a good home they are sowing the wind and may reap the whirlwind. They are striking at the very heart of our great government. They are a greater menace to this country than all other Soviet Russia ever could. The Cote-Brillante case will be watched with keen interest, by all well thinking people whether black or white. WILL THE SENATE CONFIRM A KNOWN KLANSMAN? We are glad that among the first duties of the Seqate, when it convenes in December, will be to pass on or confirm the appointment of one Marion O. Dunning as Collector of Customs at the Port of Savannah, Ga. Klansman all over the United States are watching the case with equal interest, as Dunning will succeed or fail in this instance solely on the Klan issue. Members of the hooded body are standing on their hind legs, fighting to keep one of their high officials in such a big public office. It is a well known fact that Dunning's confirmation will be bitterly opposed by Negroes, Jews and Catholics, because of his high standing in Klan specialism. He is said to be one of the national organizers for the hooded order, and as such he has been over zealous in his denunciation of the Negroes, Jews and Catholics, attacking their rights as citizens of this country. Therefore, the Senators from the several states will be seized with protests from many of their constituents against Dunning's appointment, and at the same time they will be urged to vote against his confirmation. It rather seems presidential that this case is to come before the Seqate of the United States at this time. It will be a test as to whether these law makers are acting in the interest of right and justice or whether they act only as a matter of political expediency. A few days ago, the inhabitants of a small town in New Jersey, were all worked up to a trazzed over the report that a Negro had kidnapped a white child and fled in an automobile. Witness after witness added fuel to the flame by coming with reports that they had seen Raymond Pierce, a Negro, with the missing child in his car and were "positive" that it was he and no one else. Colorophilia took possession of the police and the citizens, and a lively earnest hunt was begun for the accused Negro. Threats of lynching were on every day. The newspapers of the town played up "Negro Kidpapper" in such language and tones as to excite mob violence. The father of the kidnapped child, who joined in the search, is quoted as saying almost continually, "I hope to God I find him before the police. I'll kill him like a snake." Pierce was overtaken. He was dead. The kidnappers of the child had killed him. The mystery deepens. The irate mob still swears summary vengeance, as suspicion is laid on another Negro. But the police working on the case found other clues. A white youth, Harrison Noel, age 20, was arrested. When questioned, he led the police to the place where the body of little Mary Daley lay in a clump of weeds. He told how he had shot and killed her. He also told how he had shot and killed the Negro whom the mob had accused, and used the victim's automobile in kidnapping the child. When this news reached the townpeople, and they were informed that the kidnapper-murderer was white, the mob spirit left them. The father forgot his vow to God to kill him like a snake. The murmurers, who, a short while ago, had only one language in their mouths, "lynching on the spot" lost that part of their vocabulary, and the only expressions now heard from the waiting mob were words of sympathy for the grief-tricken parents. Thus we see a bit of mob psychology. It is not the crime that causes lynching—but the person accused. If the accused is a Negro, he should be lynched according to mob psychology; but if the accused is a white person, then the victim should have the sympathy of the community. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 18, 1925 Comment and Opinion Devoted to a Discussion of Social and Civic Problems and Events By GORDON H. SIMPSON Executive Secretary, Urban League of St. Louis The growing tendency of our St. Louisans to eliminate factional and group differences and pull together on matters affecting the welfare of our group is the question to which attention is invited at this time. We believe that such co-operating effectively is to be seen daily in our churches, business enterprises, professional life as well as in community and social service problems faced by our people. Even our political life has seen more unity of action for bettering conditions affecting our people rather than being adherents of any particular party. Coupled with this co-operative co-operation in defence in institutional particularly in regard to business and social welfare. There was never a time when the closest "pulling in harness" should characterize our actions than right now. We have many problems in which we need the co-operation of all of our organizations and influence individuals to make sure we need to urge some results on the Bout issue improvement Program as that affects our group. We need bath houses. We need several playgrounds. There are much of the bone work that we need more facilities. There is still more to be done in securing recognition of our workers in different branches of industry and the business world. Within the next two months, colored St. Louisans will have another opportunity to test out their ability to pull together for the success of common enterprise. This event will be the Fourth Annual Community Fund Campaign in, which over fifty social service and welfare organizations will own their own Pie Street, Y. M. C. Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A., Colored Orphans Home, Colored Old Folks Home, Poes less Hospital, and the Urban League, will make an appeal to the public for funds to support their work during the calendar year 1926. In the past three years all have responded very liberally in subscriptions to the fund, and the records have been checked at the close of the year it has been found that some of us as contributors have failed to keep our pledges. Of course, while it is true that in some instances sickness, death, unemployment, and other reasons have wholly prevented individuals from meeting these obligations, it is also true that there must be other reasons, such as paid because of lack of interest, in difference, or seeming desire to avoid responsibility for such a promise. We do not ever want to face in St. Louis the results of an indifferent attitude on the part of our group for the responsibility for social welfare within our group, as well as social service rendered to all other sections of the population in St. Louis. If we can get to the people will think in terms of supporting our agencies, then it will not be a very long time before the desire will be extended to support all social agencies and not just those that relieve sickness, distress and unemployment or provide wholesome recreation among the members of our group only. Here then is a real opportunity for demonstrating our team work. When the appeal comes in with a "I will" St. Louis is looking to us with a big request to "show me!" Let's get together and secure big results in cash contributions and paid subscriptions to the Community Fund during 1925. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON IS LAID TO REST AT D.

RACE ASKED TO OBSERVE SEPT.22 The National Equal Rights League Declares "Emancipation To Save The Republic Day" BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 17, 1925 "September 23nd is one of the greatest days in the history of Americans of African descent, being vied with only by January 1st, which cannot be distinctive, being New Year's day, greatest because the day-of-issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation 1862 should be annually not noted, not basked in a reminder of race slavery, but to remind all America that the Emancipation was declared as the only means to save the Union of states by using the fighting power of the Colored race to rescue the Republic from the destruction by the South." Rap Lack of Democracy Such is the opening clause of an appeal to the race nationally by publicly observe September 22nd the e-Republic save -the e-Republic" day in every country, town or city by race mass meetings or conventions. The League declares that the colored race is a great reach group or element, the only one in the U. S. A. deplorable liberty and justice, should come together in every place to go over its situation as to treatment and get ready in mind and spirit to wage a war against independent accounts and resources for equality and justice, at each meeting making the abolition of federal segregation and launching the arumphant objects of this race-conscious positive, renewed push forward, but including all race deprivations. Want National Delegates In its appeal the League argues that at each such deadline, mass meeting on September 22, delegates be elected to a National Race Mass Convention against federal segregation and lynching to be held soon thereafter as the League's 18th annual meeting. A year after the presidential campaign in which all elements of the race made public complaints about segregation, lynching and bloody Congress opens is high better time for the race to bring to hear its own united moral and political power in national race assembly as an additional asset to all other forms of help, with all racial bodies participating, is the conclusion of the League's Call to Arms' for rights 63 years after Lincoln issued a Call to Emancipation as a Call to Arms of our race out of slavery into soldiers ranks to save the land from rebellion. Every pastor, fraternal, civic and equal rights leader or worker and every race-legal citizen is urged to bife to pass such a local mass convention, holding them under the auspices of racial Citizens or Equal Rights Committee being especially recommended, but the method is left to the race in each community. STOPS DISCRIMINATION IN MICHIGAN PARKS RAY CITY, Mich., Sept. 16.—The Determination with which Win A. Powell pursued an attempt to bar him from the "Bay City State Park," resulted in the intervention of the superintendent of state parks, P. J. Hoffman, and the condemning of discriminative practices in any of the state parks. In his denunciation, Supt. Hoffman declared: "Our state parks are owned by the people and are, therefore, open to everyone regardless of color or sex, so long as they conform with the rules and regulations of the park." The white caretaker of Bay City State Park, W. H. Ervingham, attempted to stop Powell from camping there for two weeks because certain whites objected to it.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED! RIFF GENERAL DECLARED GREAT BY NEWSPAPER Southern Daily Calls Abd-El-Krim One Of Great Personal Leaders Of Whom World Has Seen Few "Just the header of a hill tribe of dark-skinned people, wild untutured, sent, vilified. Two years ago his name was hardly known outside North Africa. But today he is leading the greatest number Africa has known against the trained troops of France and Spain. Thus began an editorial entitled "Abd-El-Krim," which appeared this week in one of Texas' leading dailies. "His own Rifians," the article went on to read, "have linked with them their neighbouring tribes, of every different race but of the same Mohammedan religion, and they are making the most determined bid for freedom from white rure dominance that the Europeans have experienced in recent decades. "Having driven the Spanish to a line of forts on the coast Abd-El-Krim turned aside into French colonial territory to capture Fez the 'city of North Africa, and to dethrone the purpet Salafan there under whose alleged authority the French and the Spanish china to oppose it. "It is hard to imagine and from this down on himself the unity of the French, but doubtless he considered his nation necessary to the eventual freeing of his country. "In any case he invited the armed assault of the two European nations, and he rallied his tribesmen and their allied tribes for real war." His Great Generorship "It was not such an easy matter. The tribes had never known unified control. There were jealousies and animities. There was difference of race. There were false leaders, who were willing to sell their countrymen to France and Spain for private forage. There was a importance of the people easily invaded. There was memory of the bitter experience of the past, when the white man, though outnumbered, had been unconquerable with his mighty engines of war. "But Abd-Krim and his brother arrayed the natives for war. Savage tribesmen who knew nothing of the science of warfare except how to fire rifle were whipped into a military system. A people without knowledge of chemistry or mechanics were taught the use of heavy artillery. And the artillery and munitions were bought by stealthy agents from France herself while Paris was blind to the coming war cloud on her own horizon and wholly unable to see the traffic in arms; that constituted a breach of international law against Spain. Today Abd-EKrim has his 120,000 heavily civilized, but manmild skilled in the tactics of warfare suitable to their own country and making use of the best of modern arms. "But arrayed against him are 300,000 frained troops of France and Spain, many of them veterans of terrible warfare, supported by more than 100 armed ships, and a great fleet of airplanes." "Huge bombs, unknown even in the days of the world war are being raised upon his defenses. Tremendous naval guns clear the way for the landing of troops wherever the Europeans wish. Poison gas, of which the Riffs know nothing, is being turned on them by the Spanish.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul's Love for His Friends JUNIOR TOPIC—How Paul Worked in Thessalonica. The BLEEDER AND SENIOR TOPIC—Paul's Devotion to His Work. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Spirit and Method of Paul's Work. While the lesson committee has selected this brief passage in the second chapter for printing, the intention was to present the message of the entire epistle. It was on Paul's second missionary journey that the church at Thessalonien was founded as seen in the last lesson. After crossing into Philippi, where he was imprisoned. From Philippi he went to Thessalonien. The people there were largely Gentiles. I. The Salutation (ch. 1:1). Timothy and Silas were associated with Paul in this missionary journey, and they are associates of Paul in this message. II. Paul's Thanksgiving (1:2:10). I. For Their Faith, Love and Hope (v. 2:4). This triad of graces testified of their election of God. 2. How They Received the Gospel (v. 5). It was in the power of the Holy Spirit. 3. Joyful Obedience (v. 6). 4. Exemplary Lives (v. 7). 5. Missionary activities (v. 8). 6. Turned From Idols (vv. 9-10). 6. Turned From Ibds (vv. 9-16); 11. Character of Paul's Ministry (2:11:12). It would seem from this defense that some of the Jews had called into question his ministry. He defends himself by showing the character of his ministry: 1. It Was Courageous (vv. 1-2). His persistence in spite of shameful persecution proved his devotion to the Lord and His work. 2. Honest and Guileless (vv. 3-4). As one sent of God, he faithfully ministered unto them, not courting man's favor. 3. Without Fluttering Words (v. 5). 4. Without a Cloak of Covetousness (v. 5). 5. Did Not Seek Glory From Man (v. 6). 6. Gentle and Affectionate (vv. 7-8). So virtually he did enter into the lives of the people that he displayed a gentleness even as a nursing mother with her children. Inorder that his motive be not questioned, he labored night and day for his support. 8. Treachable and Diameless (v. 10) He did not claim to be failless, but he challenged them as to his blame-lessness. 9. His Lofty Alm (vv. 11-12). That they would walk worthy of God in keeping with their calling. 10. How the Gospel Was Received (2:13-16). As the very Word of God. 11. Paul's Desire for the Thessalonians (2:17-18). 1. He Endangered to See Them Face to Face, but Was Hindered by Satan (2:17-18). 2. He Prepared Them to Be His Crown of Rejoicing (2:19-20). His hope of meeting his converts at Christ's second coming was his crown of rejoicing. 3. Tuesday, Sent to Them (3:11:10) It was his report that furnished the information concerning this church. 3. Lack of Brotherly Love (vv. 9-10). 4. For Being Rusty bodies (vv. 11). 5. Illnesses (vv. 11). VII. Doctinal Errors Corrected (4-13; 5-11). 1. Not to Sorrow Unlikely (vv. 13). It was because of their misunderstanding of the meaning of the coming of the Lord that they were indulging the excessive sorrow. 2. The Reason Assigned (vv. 13-18). (1) The departed saints will come back when Jesus comes (vv. 14). (2) Living Believers Will Be Caught Up With Them (vv. 17). 3. The Time of the Lord's Coming Unknown (5-11-11). The exhortation is "be ready" watch. VIII. Concluding Exhortations (5: 12.28) Sin, Grace, Humility No sin is so offensive to God, and no influences to the soul as pride. No grave is so commended, both by pre- cept and example, as humility.—Rylee Truth Truth is not of man's making, but of God's reckolation. Tear it in the house of God: American Lutheran.

Strahyn, Reporter. BEREA PRESBYTERIAN The Ladies' Aid gave a fine example to the other church societies by promptly taking up the work on the first Thursday. The Steering committee made its report which was adopted as the campaign plan of the rally. Report: Mrs. Nannie Mitchell and Mr. L. Wade to corral those who are commemorating the quarter century by giving ten cents for each year they have lived and Mrs. J. C. Cheney and Mr. W. H. J. Beckett, those who will give in the good old fashioned way. It is a friendly rivalry between the Liberals and Conservatives. Can a new plan beat the old one? We shall see. It is natural for some people to cling to the old and quite as natural for older to love both. Both temperaments are necessary. Without the old, we would be always experimenting and without the new, we would never get any real benefit as well as aggressive. The C. magister experience meeting was refreshing. We seemed to journey north, south and east with the speakers and gained some useful information on religious and social conditions. The young vacationist, who was afraid of a "loose" snake, had never seen one except, in a cage. Mrs. Elizabeth Sampler is slowly recovering from a painful affection of the heart, Mrs. Texana. White, formerly a member, is quite sick. Mrs. Cooper, mother of Mrs. I. H. Bradbury and Miss Janie Cooper, is unweared in awaiting "His appearing." Mrs. Wilbur Humphries and son Charles, now of Chicago, were visitors Sunday. Endeavorer Townsend made his description of his sister to address the Omega Pal Phil Forgery, Friday evening. The Sunday School has made a splendid start for the full work. Come and sing with us. There no facts in God's world that contradict the facts of God's word. Fifty-five per cent of our passions today are past fifty, and seventy THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 18, 1925 seven per cent. are over forty. Who will take their places?

Mrs. Blandell Hyrd, Mr. Boykins, Mr. Joseph Thames, Mr. Alexander Hamilton *** out and worship with us. Rev E. W. Well pastor, Brown Reporter. Do you remember the "Million Dollar Wedding" of 1924 given by the proffilerous H. W. Evans club of Lane Tabernaenbull. Well this same "Evans Club" which seems to have everything is coming out again this Wednesday night with a festival in which they can be called it. To be frank about it those Evans club members have gone and given it a bigger name than that, why they are even calling it "The million, Dollar banquet". Well, seeing that their club is named for one of the best ministers that ever trod a putipit they can go right on and give their banquet that expensive name. Mrs. O. W. Johnson, the president, says n The Lane clubs are entwined in their big fall drama which will close Sunday October 11. At this momentous time Lane Tabernacle requests five dollars worth of money from each individual, whose name rests on its roll. Mr. J. C. Campbell says the Board's cash money than any other organization, and that Mrs. Emma Bradford's "Pace makers" will have to take second honors. He also says it will be the biggest fall rally we have had for many years. "It is presumable that Mr. Campbell is right, so we bid you good day. LIBERTY CONGREGATIONAL Last Sunday we were given a very happy and unique experience. Instead of the usual discourse by the pastor, Mr. LeNoir, a new acquisition to the Summer faculty, gave a brief outline of his thesis offered for his Master's degree at the University of Iowa. In the execution of this exhaustive study Mr. LeNoir made a very large number of comparative mental tests of groups of white and colored children in Gary, Detroit and Indianapolis. He demonstrated beyond perseverance that where social conditions are equal there is a corresponding equality of mental capacity in the two groups. In every instance where other authorities, after making comparative tests, made deductions of doubt, mental capacity of the Negro he showed an inequality of some of the social factors incident to the groups compared.

A SIX-CYLINDER PROBLEM By ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY For The Associated Negro Press McCready Sykes, who writes "The Obverse Side" in Commerce and Finance, was very much disturbed and puzzled in a recent issue of that publication because a colored friend of his cook owns a big-cylinder automobile. Mr. Sykes' comment is as follow. "A few nights ago we had a small dinner party. As we sat on the veranda after dinner, watching the people and cars that occasionally passed the most impressive object in the foreground was a beautiful six-cylinder car drawn up at the curb. It was a fine, powerful machine, redolent of what the advertisements call quiet elegance, of more impressive appearance and of manifestly higher market value than any of the cars of our guests. "We explained to our friends that the car was not ours, but belonged to a colored friend of our cook, who is of the same race. It merely happens that our cook does not like the smell of himself. His friend had dropped in to pass the time of day and was generously helping him in washing the dishes, after which the two chen figures drove off in state." Then follows an interesting discussion of the high cost of living and of economics in general. Two typically American "habits of thought" are revealed in Mr. Sykes' observation—the one so admirably summed up by Dr. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, in one of his recent addresses when he said, "Society is inclined to make too invidious a comparison between the man who sells shoes and the man who sells shoes and the man who is summited to arbitrarily define for the Negro 'his place' in American life. Judging from the general trend of Mr. Sykes' writings, it would not be fair to him to venture the opinion that he, like millions of other white people has never conversed with a colored person except those of the servant class.. He is the type who if he entered the men's room on a pullman car and found that the only wash basin available was one which a colored passenger was using would wince. He would look around him and implyly to the other wince men in the room before proceeding with his toilet. Probably he would not be insulting to the colored man, as so often happens, but many unanswered questions would cross his mind and he would be equally, as puzzled, over the situation as he was about the colored man. man in the six-cylinder automobile. Mr. Sykes is an authority on economics and is most convincing writer and the very fact that his state of mind is typical is a matter of great importance to the Negro. There is no greater tragedy in America today than the state of mind which considers the Negro only in terms of a servant. The result is that no Negro no matter how well trained or efficient he may be, has "an open field, and a fair fight" to secure a single one of the so-called "white collar" jobs offered by America. A few months ago a colored man gave up in discouragement a position he had in a bank in a small New England district. Fifteen years ago he began working at the bank as a songer, and pretty soon it was discovered that he was not only reliable but intelligent. He was promoted to the position of supply clerk and purchasing agent. When he grew out of that place he was given a desk and placed in charge of the adjustment of complaints. During all these years this colored man was studying the banking business from all angles and his very efficiency became embarrassing to the officers of the bank, for, by this time he was entitled to a vice-presidency. The president of the bank told him so and then added that 'but', which is so familiar to colored people. The colored man held on, however, himself had trained to take his place in the supply room was given the vice-presidency which he had merited and, was entitled to receive. Then he resigned. A young colored woman in Oklahoma passed the civil service examination for the position of stenographer. Somehow her racial identity escaped the alert eye of the person who passes on the photographs of applicants and she was offered a place in one of the bureaus in Washington. Very promptly she journeyed to Washington and man in charge of the bureau was stricken when she saw her. After stalling around for a time he finally asked the young woman what machine she accustomed to use. "Underwood," replied the young woman. "Well, I am sorry," he said." we only use stenographers in this department who have used Remington." The young woman spent several fruitless months in Washington endeavoring to "get by" the subtle, vicious language of the institution, but finally gave up in disgust. Instances of this kind can be related by almost any colored person one meets. Thousands of Negroes do hold "white collar jobs" but there are jobs created by Negroes themselves - who have since emancipation reduced their illiteracy from 90 per cent to 10 per cent; established seventy-three banks whose total capitalization is $6,250,000 and whose annual clearings amount to $1,000,000; organized more than one hundred insurance companies whose total assets are $7,500,000 and value of policies in force $250,000,000 and accumulated over $2,000,000 in wealth. Not bad, Mr. Sykes, with all the discouragement and handicaps which the Negro faces. Some day an able and resourceful writer is going to discover, and then be generous enough to admit, that the Negro is, he miracle of the age and not the problem. SAVES NICKEL BY WALKING. MEETS PAIR OF FOOTPADS AND LOSES $600 SAVINGS Preston News Services NEWARK, N. J. Sept. 16—Saving a nickel by walking from Roseville avenue and Orange street to Bloomfield avenue. Thursday afternoon Miss Elin Peterson of Mountair, lost $600, according to the story she told the police last Thursday night. Miss Peterson had drawn the money which represented the savings of many years from the Mutual Bank of Roseville.

She started down Par avenue, across Brook Park. As she reached Parker street, she told the police, two men stepped along side of her, and, threatening her with death if she made an outcry, grabbed the hapabag in which she had the money and fed. Describing the threats the woman made a cry for help, but the men made their escape. "NEGRO WORKERS WANTED NO WHITES OR MEXICANS" BATON HOUSE, La., Sept. 16.

Chomman recently returned from a month's vacation in Denver, Colorado, Colorado Springs, Cobee, Kansas City, Kans, and St. Louis, Mt. He was a delegate to the Sixth Annual session of the American Woodmen which convened in Denver and had the distinguished pleasure of listening his wife, who is the mother of her daughter the nurse. Chomman is an old teacher, having taught in the public schools of Louisiana and Arkansas. He is a letter carrier at Pine Bluff of 25 years standing, a teacher of some note and an ardent believer in the possibilities of his race. He believes the migration of Negroes from the south to the north, east and west is being directed by the ever-watchful eye of God, and views with much satisfaction the good that has occurred to the race and the south by the recent migration. He believes there is ample room for 1,000,000 more of his race in the great northwest if they are properly distributed in the rurals and smaller cities and towns. PINE BLUFF. ARK. By W. B.

The per capita value of the buildings and equipment in which he is housed is $185.98. The average maintenance cost, per inmate, ranges from $78.73 a year in Alabama to $675.10 in Nevada. These figures on the cost of main thining the nation's almshouses have been compiled by the United States bureau of labor statistics and are published in bulletin No. 266. The report covers 2,141 or 33 percent of the public paupers institutions of the country. The report also contains brief sketches of various systems of alphaboxes, the character of their supervision and junitate populations, and quotes state reports on their physical and social conditions. More than one-third of the alphaboxes covered by the report are operated for less than 10 inmates each and considerably more than one-half of the inmates covered by that multiplicity of alphaboxes results in unnecessarily high costs, insufficient methods and inadequate cage is demonstrated in the report. "The unavoidable conclusion seems to be that disillusionment inadequately physical features of most of our small alphabets," the report states. "The ignorance, unfitness and a complete lack of comprehension of the social element involved in the conduct of a public institution are characteristic of a large part of their manning. Among the impugns themselves is the respectable old age are imputed in law hazard uncommon. It is lily, then, an imagine that social conditions in these institutions could be other than declarable. "Practically everywhere the small alphabets stand out as the victim of a web of indifference and neglect which begins first with a public which either knows nothing of its existence or has so little concern that it pays attention to conditions. Given an in different public, it is rarely indicted that the elected officials of that public will feel or show a deeper interest."

Could you assist me in making a photo or likeness of Benjamin Bancker? - W. W. T. Norfolk, Vt. Mr. Arthur Schomberg of New York informs me that you will find a picture of Benjamin Bancker in an issue of the Journal of Negro History, edited by Woodson. As far as he (Mr. Schomberg) knows, this is the only photo of the scientist extant. Were the Moors who once governed Stalin of Negro blood. Did Lincoln have Negro blood? - J. C. M., Elgin, Texas. The Moors are an African people and Negro. Lincoln is said to have had Negro blood, but the writer has never been able to secure any definite evidence upon the statement. Does genuine Masonry consist of more than three degrees? What is the difference between English and French Masonry? Who is the Senior Grand Deacon of the Masons of North America? - C. C. Z. F. Rupert, Idaho. Original English Masonry had but three degrees. French Masonry is said have never possessed for political purpose the possessive powers of history. It would require more space than the writer is allowed to go into details on the history of Fréché Masonry. I do not know who is the Senior Grand Deacon of N. A. Masonry. Sheba (or Baba, as it was called by the Arabians) is not a country, but a city located in the southern part of Arabia. Ancestry it was ruled by Ethiopians. It was about 1,500 miles from Jerusalem. What is the Mediterranean Race?—H. J. L. Lim; Ohio. "Mediterranean" is a term applied to those people bordering upon the Mediterranean Sea. English and American scientists have tried to claim that these peoples were a branch of the white race, but it is not true. The entire southern and northern coast of the Mediterranean was settled at different times by colonists from Africa and from them came the dark skins and curling hair. Sergi of Italy was the most authority upon the Mediterranean, because he proved them of African descent. These races include the Spanish, Italian and Greenan peoples and the people of hither Asia. Who was the "dark lady" in Shakespear's life?—B. H. V. Corinth Miss. A woman of African blood undoubtedly, if one accepts the description. However, she has ever been the lady of mystery and no commentator on Shakespeare has ever been able to find out who she was.

Her excuses are numerous. Her work in the first place is administering to the needs of others much to the detriment of her own self. She explains but she has no time to spare in which she can be given regular course of scalp treatments, even the her hair is more likely to be filled with oil and dandruff than that of the ordinary woman. The particular case which I have in mind deals with a young teacher whose scalp was very tight, due to her high nerve tension and every day strain. Her hair was naturally full of dandruff and so oolly that it required a shampoo every week. When I found it was impossible to get hee to have me give her a course of treatments which would relieve her condition. I compromised by her promise to spend two hours in the shop on the following Saturday morning. Armed with a new and interesting book, the teacher arrived, promptly at the back and awaited the operation. When the hair was rilated the rilator was applied to open the hair and lift any loosened dandruff. I applied a lotion a mage cure and salt, with a small toothbrush, to the scalp and saturated her entire head with the lotion. The lotion was kept her during its application by the use of a small double boiler made of porcelain, which in a requisite to every properly equipped beauty shop. After the expiration of one hour, I gave a vigorous shampoo, but it was not a success. I was forced to shampoo that head three times before the accumulation of dandruff and oil could be entirely removed. But after all, the result was gratifying, the oil was reduced to its natural quantity and he hair was free of dandruff. Care of the Hands Young Lady—The hands are your barometers of age. Many young and beautiful face may be ruined by unsightly and ill-kept hands. No more important are any of the senses than these efficient members of your anatomy. The hands can be so cultivated in skill and dexterity that they can be indispensable. They may be hardened to the blind and hearing to the deaf. Though hardened and awkward from overwork, the hands can be made soft, pliable and beautiful by the proper massages and exercises. Neglected nails or nails that have been manicured with poor taste can make an otherwise attractive person ugly. This department will welcome any questions on the cars of the hands-as-asked, the which are asked about the peeling conditions of the hair and face. HOOSIT? By Robert P. Edwards Associated Negro Press 23. After the betrayal and death of L'Ouverture, insurrection in Haiti blazed anew, and courted with yellow fever, the ranks of the French were so rhinmed until they were forced to capitulate to the dauntless Haitians. Varulous leaders arose, Dessalines who styled himself Emperor, Christophe who styled himself King, and others. Suddenly a certain Patriot was chosen leader, and he immediately proclaimed himself Patriot was elected President of the Republic of Haiti in 1820, and rated intelligently until 1843 leaving his country among the happiest of nations. Hoosit? Answer to "Hoosit" 22—Prof. George Carver of Tuskegee. SUPPORT OF RACE BY NEGROES URGED AT N. L. & H. CONVENTION SUPPORT OF RACE BY NEGROES URGED AT N. L. & H. CONVENTION (Support of Race) Preston News Service WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 16.—Thursday's session of the tenth anniversary meeting of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, which convened Wednesday at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, was featured by addresses from men prominent in Negro financial circles and in the district organization. Carter G. Woodson of the rector research and editor of the association, who presided, gave a short introductory talk on the lack of knowledge of business details among the Negroes and on the difficulty of securing information as to the financial standing of the Negro business men. S. W. Rutherford of Washington president of the National Bassett Life Insurance Company and secretary treasurer of the association, who was to have presided, was unable to appear. He sent in his place John Pinkett, also of Washington, who spoke on "Business conditions as they affect the Negro." Mr. Pinkett advocated better individual and general control of business organizations run by Negroes. He stressed the superior need of trained men to conduct research work which would facilitate some kind of business control. In explaining the need of better organization he said: "It has not been so long since a man starting out for himself in any field of endeavor would be able to chance of succeeding by following the business system. However the day is to come that only those trained in their work will have any hope of success." W. G. Pearson of Durham, N. C., president of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Co., and closely connected with educational work in his native State; spoke on "Why the Negro Business Man Often Fails." He attributed their frequent failure to four main causes. First, inexperience; second lack of support; third, lack of capital and indirected capital; fourth, fraudulent employment by some. He feels that inexperience is the most important as it handles the colored business man in his struggle with the white competitors. Support of Race Needed While he said the last two causes are not so prevalent, many failures are due to lack of support of colored business organizations by the colored people themselves. He cites the case of one colored banker who frequently overdrew his account in the bank of which he was a director; while he had a large savings account in a white bank Mr. Rutherford urges a financial magazine dealing with colored business institutions to aid the young men who are starting out in the business world. W. Gomez of Durham, N. C., secretary and treasurer of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Co., spoke on "The Necessity of a Survey of Negro Business." He feels that such a survey would bring info contact theories and American Negro's methods of handling business. He noted that young colored men start out on a career without any knowledge as to whether or not they are fitted for that particular work. If a competent survey was made these men could, form studying the results, decide with more accuracy on the career for which they are best fitted. He met the hotel at the Whitewater Hotel the members discussions on The Negro Press, Past and Present." by Robert S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender, L. H. King of the New Orleans Southwestern Christian Advocate and Robert L. Vann of the Pittsburgh Courier. Wednesday's session was taken up with the discussion of the Negro." Back ground of the Negro." "The Negro Before the Civil War." and "The Negro Before the Civil War." The Convention will be closed Thursday night with a final session at the hotel will be devoted to discussions on "TIME" Christie and Its Effect on the Race. MRS. J. J.
