KU KLUX KLAN VISITS THE COLORED METHODISTS AT VANDALIA-MISSOURI An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man VOL. XIV NO. 23 Rev. J. Ewing Kuykendall, Pastor Of C. M. E. Church Accepts Money From, and Praises Work of Hooded Band. Consternation Prevailed As The Hooded-Robed Figures File Down The Aisles Of The Church Special to the Argus VANDAYLA, M. Nov. Sept. 20. Prints a sensation has been stirred in this community this week following a visit of members' of the Kn Klux Klan to the M. E. Church here last Sunday night, where they were cordially received by the pastor, the Rev. J. Ewling Kuykendahl. The first act in the drama came when about 40 Klansmen, fully robed and hooded, filled up the aisle of the church and marched to the pulpit where Rev. Kuykendahl received them. The spokesman for the Klan made a brief talk, telling about the Klan and its "moble principles" and "white supremacy", etc., and handed the pastor an envelope containing $25.00 in preface. Rev. Kuykendahl praised the pastor for its "good work" and took the money graciously. Construction reigned for a while, but this conduct of the pastor led all to believe that he had written the Klan to his church, because he selected a text that was pleasing to the hooded band. There is much dissatisfaction among the members concerning the visit of the Klan, and a revolt is threatened by some. They say that Rev. Kuykendall has sold out to the Klan for "25 pieces of silver." It is now common talk that this is not the first time that the Klan visited churches where this man was pastor. The Klan is considerably strong in this community, and much fear prevails among the colored population that the Klan is a threat to the well-being of the colored people who speak, paragrapingly of its members. Therefore many of the church members are keeping quiet, for they believe that their pastor will "spitish" on them, to the members of the Klan. It is understood, however, that a movement is on foot by the people generously from this community and from this community to the welfare of the colored people "INDIGNATION MEETING" WHEN WHITES GET NEGRO SCHOOL MA-AMS "INDIGNATION MEETING" WHEN WHITES GET NEGRO SCHOOL MA-AMS DEFTRIT, Mich., Sept. 30.—An "Indignation meeting" followed an order which transferred a group of white school children in the Crudder avenue and Eight Mile Road district, from the Birdhurst white school, to a school building half a mile away in a Negro district and placed them under colored school teachers.

Williams, Arch Smith, Kendall Stanford, Robert L. Holmes, Gabe Davis, and Henry Neal upon its home among the names of the employees while in the company's service. All the men were given a full pension and retired from active service. In granting the homes, the company paid special esteem to the loyalty and quality of the service delivered by the men. The Southern Pacific Railroad employs colored men in more varied capacities, perhaps, than any other railroad in the country.

A new rating tables that will eventually affect the compensation payments of thousands of disabled former service men in all parts of the country was approved Thursday by General Frank T. Hines, director of the veterans bureau. Since the organization of relief work for men scarred in the world's war, compensation has been paid under a set scale based wholly upon the disability without reference to the work in which the man was engaged prior to enlistment. The Reed-Jerrison law of June 7, 1924, called for compensation based from the average impairment of the individual in the work in which he was engaged before putting on the uniform. Under this for instance, a violin player, who has lost the small tiger of his left hand, would receive far more compensation than would a laborer with the same degree of disability, while the loss of a leg for a man whose occupation entailed much walking would receive more from the government than would a veteran whose vacation had required little the standing or walking while on the GUARDS KILL TRUSTY MIAMI, Fla., Sert. 30.-Ollie Moore a colored trust in the Dade County jail, died here Sunday, the innocent victim of bullet wounds recived when he was struck by a fusillade of shot fired by prison guards to quell an outbreak of fifteen conflicts.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 30—"Belief in the biological superiority of the native American who is taken to be Nordic and the inferiority of all others" seems to have been one of the chief reasons for the support given the quota law" declared Prof. Maurice R. Davile of Yale University noted seologist in attacking the present immigration statue. In spite of its lack of scientific backing or perhaps, because it is uncleer, and fits in with popular prejudices—the Nordic myth has gained rather wide credence. Belief in the biological superiority of the native American, who is taken to be Nordic, and in the inferiority of all others, seems to rest in have been one of the chief reasons for the support given to the Quota Law, said the eminent scientist, "The way of intolerance and prejudice is to say the one provision in the same law of 1924 one provision was included out of sheer race prejudice—that which excluded all Asiatics. The provision was aimed at the Japanese and was inserted to satisfy the sentiment in California. "A less prejudicial and much more scientific way of restricting immigration is, as I have suggested, to put our immigration laws squarely on an individual basis, and then to raise standards high enough to effect a reduction in the number of immigrants admitted. This method of restriction would enable us to add more immigrants from the type of immigrant that has been coming in recent years, we need higher selective standards—that is the most important phase of the subject. These, I repeat, should be on an individual basis. If the Southern and Eastern European immigrants are inferior in physique, intelligence or any other criteria to Northern and Western Europeans, then more of them may be kept out by such selective tests. Hero is a justifiable way of effecting restriction and not merely a device for arbitrary limitations of numbers which the Quota Law provides, without giving us any better selective standards than we now possess."

Bennett said that he thought that the boy should be given a suspended sentence and fined, while Attorney R. N. Stimms, Counsel for the private prosecution did not agree with Bennett's recommendation. Stimms declared that he thought the good Negroes of the State should be protected and that every step should be taken to see that their rights were observed.

SPROTALIZD IN | PARAMOUNT RECORDS MUSICAL VAUDEVILLE AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON Four musical acts are being presented in a vaudeville program at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. All are the class in their kind, and how, knick about cooly is being given a needed rest. The show, as a whois, is a delightful combination of 'm-body with plenty of wholesome mirth in traversed. Eliza Goodloe and Co. are the certain raises' "The 'Co.'" consists of a man and woman, with the male member presiding. "Hijagmettpet" in males presiding at the piano. Their not creates an enchore fader that does not subside until the certain details on the timbre of the extra show. After a musical introduction, Ms. Goodloe sings "Swavens' Butt-rity" and the pair follow with "Changing Your Name To Mine." A piano section is artistic and filled with candy manipulations. "If You Don't Gone Away!" and "Love Me the Way You Do," closes an art that is classy and fit to feature an ordinary bill. Bruce and Sigmar a harmonious duo are second. Mr Tim Brace has a well trained voice with a long range and when she drapes to contrataction in singing "What a 146" the audience is willing to stop the show and let her sing all the time. Mr Sigmar was a rich harpist and his "You Are In Love With Everyone. But the 'One Whip. In Love With You.' makes a big bill. Three numbers, sing in duets, bring out the sweetness of visual harmony." They are: "For a Rathin Day." My Wonderful One, and "Follow the Swallow R. Home." High Turner, interposing an old timer, is so characteristic in his work that he is aptly described as the happy in his bones. Tugner plays over a line of chimpanzees talk about the smartness of the present generation of "kids" that would do justice to any monologist, but his forte is music original and novel. After he sing, "The Boogie Boogie Ball," he introduces an ordinary saw and a violin saw with which he renders "Memories" in an entrancing way that makes one love there is music everywhere. His modley of chornes on a saxophon and his comic dance chants "spring another Stop Sign" in the footlights of traffic. Williams and Brown, Columbia Record Stars, reveal the mind of music that links one always fall to another mysterious disk. You could enjoy blues and jazz easily without marring your fastidiouss if all you heard were like these. There are three in this novel, which include Curie Coloman pianist. Their vocal members include "Satishdil Blues," "Hoodoo Blues," "The Tired or Hagging You To Trget Me Right," "Himal Heated Blues," and "Double Crossing Duddy." Miss Colman also gives a special on the piano which goes over nicely. Both singers have a distinctive personality that dominates their work and registers favor with the audience. SUSIE SUTTONS 'BONTON REYE' NEXT Susie Sitton and her "Boston Raving" will come to the Booker Washington Theatre next week. This is one of the best groups on the stage, and features the Sexyly Fancy Quintetter, Katie Gunn and a love of "College." Me" dancing girls and boys. THE FILM OF "THE LADY OF THE RING" BY JOHN BURTON. Miss Sutton, who is the center of attraction, is a most talented artist and she has surrounded herself with a company that compares with larger ones we have seen at high class houses. The show is of extraordinary quality and the musical comedy is interspersed with dramatic situations. There is harmony and novelty galore, clean wholehouse comedy and poppy niffy steppers. The chorus is well drilled and pretty and consists of Mary Well-Geneva Davis, Emily Hill, Maxine Lopez, Erline Lane, Mary Walker, Mae Walker and Ethel Pope. The costumes are new and up to the uni-ute comedy is clean and the dainian- varied and interesting; it is a Show well worth seeing. This is a pr al high class attraction and the management announces that there will be no advance is admission prices. Monday will be 'Tue Day' as usual. The Booker should be crowded at every performance next week. CHANGE IN 'CHARLESTON' CONTEST AT THE BOOKER The adult Charleston contest at the Bocker Washington Theatre has been dropped in order to switch the Juveniles to Fridays. This was done because of their school days. The adults who have won in the contests to date are Wm. Klimbrough, 3114 Bell, Rhiisa Berry, Kindh Park and Mary Preston, 3404 Bell. They will appear next Tuesday and receive their prizes. The children's contest will be switched to Fridays beginning this week.

Lon Charry, Mae Busch and Matt Moore are featured in "The Unholy Three" at the Venus Theatre on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The story is a most unusual one and deals with a trio of freaks—a giant, a midget and a ventriloquist—who forsake their life in a dime museum to pursue a career of robbery and murder. The trio cover up their misdeeds by running a bird and animal store, and succeed in escaping detection after each crime until two of them murder a wealthy club man while looting his home. After shifting the blame on another, they flee to the mountains. Fearful of the strength and cunning of his confidantes, the ventriloquist brings a powerful gorilla with him for protection. How the gorilla fulfills his mission, how the innocent culprit is defended by the agency of an unknown voice at the trial, how the mystery is cleared up brings the picture to a thrilling, satisfying end.

KLAN TRIED TO DESTROY ASSOCIATION OF RACES KLAN TRIED TO DESTROY ASSOCIATION OF RACES Associated Negro Press JACKSONVILLE. Fla., Sept. 20— The Ku Klux Klan seems determined to break up association between white women and colored men, although it says nothing about the association of white men with colored women. Within the past two week-three men have been taken from the City Pigeon farm, carried a few miles from town and emasculated. The first incident happened last Thursday afternoon at about three p.m. when issue Bowens and Will Green, the bullies, were taken from a gassed at the Farm and carried away by the roof of unmasked men. The second was the taking of Engle Adams last Saturday night, and the taking of two white women who were tarred and feathered. Issue Bowens, worked at the DeSoto hotel, and Will Green was employed at the St. Charles Hotel across the street. Bowens said Green came to him and told him that he had booked a white woman in a white man's room and a quarrel followed later that night. Green and Bowens were together in a restaurant on Bay Street, when both were arrested. They were taken before Judge J. J. Beckham in the municipal court and sentenced to thirty days each. On Thursday at about three o'clock in the broad daylight a number of white St. Louis, Mo. men came and took them from a guard, whom they held up. The two men were operated upon, cotton saturated with an ammable, Linteral skirts over their mouths and burned and an acid poured over their bodies. Afterward they were thrown in a swamp and had to be waded through water up to their necks. They were shown a colored settlement by a white, man after they had found their way out of the swamp. Police did not re-arrest them after they reached the city but "advised" them to leave town as it would not be safe for them. Bowens is married and had not been in the city a month, coming here from Hot Springs, where he spent the season. Members of the Race saw to it that he did not want while he was ill. Green was slipped out of town by white persons. Eugene Adams, the third victim was told by the mob that they were taking "special palms with him", and he was operated upon, given a coat of tar and feathers, his oar clipped and forehead marked. He was told to advertise the "affair" so that no more Negroes would bother white women or he would be molested again. He was taken to the county hospital where he is improving. These constitute the most atrocious crimes ever committed in Duval County and police are doing nothing to apprehend the guilty ones Two white women were tarred and beheaded and brought to Laura and Adams Streets in the heart of the city without anything on but a gunny sack and put out of an automobile. Race people here are convinced that crime is confined to a class; that only those of the roughe element are involved in the crimes which are committed, but they are, grieved because these matters give the whole town a bad name.

KLAN INSPIRES RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION (By The Associated, Negro Press) NEW YORK, N.

Although officially announced as a "leave of absence without pay for two years," colored citizens of this city are inclined to the belief that the departure of Prof. S. S. Taylor, erstwhile supervisor of colored schools, is actually a dismissal and means the abolition of the position of supervisor. The leave of absence explanation was given by Asst. Superintendent of Schools, August V. Dalche. A number of the most prominent teachers in the schools have resigned, including Prof. J. Theodore Tatum, a vice president; O. C. W. Taylor, Prof. Albert Edwards, a principal, and the Misses Rosa McCalem, Beulah Bell, Lillie B. St. Cyr, Ruby Dayls, and Hattie Dayage. Prof. Springzins is still in the harness.

GEORGIA'S INHUMANITY—MISSISSIPPI'S BARBARISM The headhunters of African fame nor the cannibals of Borneo were never more inhuman or barbaric than the supposed civilized and Christianized white men—men of the supposed "Superior Race"—who formed the mobs in Georgia, and with a club, beat to death an insane inmate of the state insane asylum and those of Mississippi who burned a human being to death. All the laws of the world, both sacred and profane, common or written, excuse insane persons of responsibility. Insanity has become the one great refuge for many criminals in this country for the law holds that an insane person is irresponsible for their acts. This man in Georgia was adjudged insane and was an inmate of the asylum, because of the criminal negligence of some of the inmates, given the proper care and attention which he should have had by virtue of his being an inmate of this place. As a result of this carelessness, this insane man clubbed one of the nurses to death. This man was not responsible but the careless, officers, were and to make hatters worse, these officers permitted a few men to come into their institution and take therefrom, an insane inmate, whom they bound to, a tree and clubbed to death in pure inhuman, brutish and barbaric We might ask why should there be white officers and nurses over Negroes in Georgia, where race prejudice is at its height? How can white people in Georgia, condescend to be the servants of Colored people in the state institutions? There is but one answer, the supposed power and the almighty dollar. Everyone is aware of the fact that a prejudiced Georgia cracker, will not render the service to a colored inmate of a state institution for which he or she is paid. Because of this lack of proper service, this nurse lost her life and this terrible crime against God and humanity was committed by this mob. By comparison: About the same time the Georgia mob killed this helpless, insane human being: a very grave triple crime was committed in the State of New Jersey. A young white man kid-naped a six year old girl; raped her and then killed her and killed a colored taxi driver to get his car in which to escape. The mob spirit was aroused against the colored taxi driver. When the criminal was found to be a young white man, the first effort was to produce an excuse for him. It was said that he had been an inmate of an insane asylum - some years ago. He was therefore absolved of the responsibility for the triple crime. In Georgia an inmate of an insane asylum is held responsible for a clubbing and summarily dealt with by a blood-thirsty mob. Why the difference in New Jersey and Georgia? HAIRDRESSERS' MISTAKE of some of the hairdressers at rday night, the officers of the F. W. Wiseman to speak or g it affects the hairdressers and c that these leaders made a very that will hurt their cause in the n, as the husband of Mrs. Wiser dressers, Board, could have throw et. He could have, and was ree how the board would interpret about the law from the Boards the opportunity of asking any of hearing the answer At a meeting of some of the hairdressers at the Metropolitan Church, last Thursday night, the officers of the organization refused to allow Dr. F. W. Wiseman to speak or give his interpretation of the law as it affects the hairdressers and cosmeticians. We believe that these leaders made a very great mistake by so doing, and one that will hurt their cause in the future. Dr. Wiseman, as the husband of Mrs Wiseman, who is president of the Hairdressers Board, could have thrown a great deal of light on the subject. He could have, and was ready to tell them in open meeting just how the board would interpret the law, and explain everything about the law from the Boards' point. They would have had the opportunity of asking any questions in open meeting and the privilege of hearing the answers; the privilege of getting first hand information at close range. Not hear-sayings, but mouth to ear statements before a hundred witnesses. There were many present who were desirous of hearing the explanation by Dr. Wiseman, but the leaders said "No." This looked rather suspicious. Of course, Hugh Wagner, attorney, who has his mind fixed on that $3,000 fee, tells them he can win. Certainly he would tell them that, that's his job. But the suspicion lies in their refusal to hear what was in the mind of the Board, with which they must, in the end, deal. In the meanwhile, much criticism is being circulated because these women leaders in the movement have refused to employ a colored attorney in the case, consistency being cited as an object lesson. WE DOUBT THE WISDOM OF SUCH AN ACT At the recent National Baptist Convention held at Baltimore, resolutions were passed endorsing the plan of the War Committee to erect a memorial to the colored soldiers who have fought in all of the wars of the Republic. We seriously doubt the wisdom of such an endorsement because of its far-reaching effects along the line of general segregation. We can see the wisdom of a war monument to soldiers, all soldiers in the army. Then too, we can see it is proper to erect monuments to all soldiers, be they black or white, for special deeds of heroism and bravery, just as a soldier wins the Distinguished Service Cross, etc. If the nation is to erect a memorial to the soldiers of all the wars, let it be the one memorial hall, and in this hall, let there be special mention made of noble and heroic deeds by all those who have won special honors, be they black or white. This, to our mind, is the only proper way to memorialize the soldiers of the U.S. without discrimination. THE ST. LOUIS ANGUS, FRIDAY, OCT.2, 1925 ANOTHER WAVE OF RACE FRICICTION The news reports of the past week have included information concerning race friction and riots arising out of the housing situation in Detroit, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh; the lynching of another apparently innocent Negro in Mississippi; the details of the aftermath of the recent dynamiting of Negro homes in Southast Missouri; the clubbing to death of an insane Negro youth in Georgia, the ruling of Judge H. A. Roscoff issuing a temporary injunction denying property on Code Brilliant avenue. The same police carried the news of the heroic attempt of George Hall a colored juror in an apartment at 522 W. 13rd street, New York City, in saving the life of a nine year old girl who had started the elevator. In Detroit, section: riots resulted in the killing of white members of the mob* and wounding of others. In Philadelphia, ten Negroes and several police were hurt following a shot fired by a colord man to disperse a mob gathered about his house. In Pittsburgh, a boy was yelled into the street by frightening police men mansucing the home of a highly respected colored family while the husband' was away. The wife fired the shot to protect herself and two children. Just where all of these indications of race friction will end remains to be seen. However, there is a distinct lesson in the whole situation which ought to be headed in St. Louis. The Cole Brilliantine injunction is the thin edge of a wedge, which is allowed tounchallenge might mean the practical segregation of degrees in the territory already occupied, due to the fact that most of the territory West of Taylor avenue is largely organized under this segregation by block agreement system. While it is true that the Curtis case in Washington which is now before the Supreme Court will practically establish the constitutionally of this type of block agreement, it is also true that the continued publicity of such suits is making for public opinion, increasing unfavorably to the Negro, and detrimental to the bettering of race relations in St. Louis. The situation which gives rise to such agreements is the desire of whites on one side to maintain exclusively residential sections, and on the other a perfectly natural and legitimate desire of colored people to obtain in a larger measure adequate housing facilities which allow for a greater degree of health, happiness and wholesome environments for their environment for their families. The casual observer can readily see that a third factor in the situation, namely, the seisming desire of white real estate interests to control rental and pursue values in Negro neighborhoods by continuing their housing facilities to a very restricting and highly congested limits. This situation by no means has been solved by the Real Estate Exchange contracting the territory east of Grand bourvard to occupancy by colored If the Cote Brilliante injunction design is a criterion of what we are to expect, then the future seems rather cloudy for the average individual client to improve his housing conditions. The present situation emphasizes strongly the need for the development of financial institutions within our group which will help to finance housing projects and enable prospective buyers to secure a greater degree of safety for future investments. Further, in view of the problems arising out of the Cote Brillante situation the changes taken by individuals, at least under the present jurisdiction ruling of purchasing property the title of which is in any way "doubled" by one of these restrictive agreements is in a dangerous procedure. It seems wise at this time to urge prospective buyers not to become financially involved in such property until deission has been handed down by the Supreme Court determining the constitutionality of such restrictive contracts. In the meantime let us all hear in mind the results of friction from the housing situation in other cities, in the past, as well as the previous experience in our own city and govern ourselves by the lesson we have learned therefrom. NOT YET EMERGED FROM BARBARISM" SAYS GEORGIA PAPER Associated Negro Press MACON Ga. Sept. 30 The Macon Telegraph, leading daily paper of this city, commenting editorially on recent inhatchings, says: "We have not yet emerged from the age of barbarism. Unless there comes out of these crimes and all other crimes in which men take the laws under which we live into their own hands, the swift and sure punishment that should come, we cannot really claim to be civilized. We have the veneer of civilization and the coatings of culture and the luxuries of modern invention, but if we conceive these crimes against society we have the primal instincts of the brute and the savage." NEGRO FARMERS FEAR POISON MONTGOMERY, Ala. Sept. 30—Authorities are investigating the report that an attempt has been made to poison the family of Henry Bethen, a Negro farmer near this city, by the placing of arsenic of lead in the well from which the family obtain their drinking water. The husband, and condition, children are in a critical condition, that the Negro in that section of the city in a panic fearing that attempts might be made on their lives. The well-known slogan of the Urban League is "Not amuses, but opportunity." In a number of instances, the reality of such a slogan has been quite often open to opportunity, may be The well known slogan of the Urban League is "Not alms, but opportunity" in a number of instances, the reality of such a slogan has been very noteworthy. Quite often an opportunity may be small to begin with, but possibilities are often much greater. In such connection, we should like to call attention to the achievement of a St. Louis young lady who, when given an opportunity, made good of it. And on starting with a job has virtually forced her way into a coveted position. Miss Gladys Williams, 4280-W, St. Ferdinand, was one of the first to answer the call when Chester Knitting Mill was opened to colored girls and the Urban League was furnishing them with help. After a short time, she became assistant forehandy. With the closing of the plant, which came with the 1923 depression, Miss Williams came back to the League highly recommended for her efficient service. During the month of August 1921, through the kindness of Mr. Chast, Turpin, our office was put in touch with one of the local dress manufacturers, requesting a girl to do pressuring. Remembering Miss Williams as an everyday and friendly worker, the Urban League did not invite @ recommend a girl to the firm because he had been an experimenter because he was the first color girl to go into the store. In December she was promoted to shipping clerk. February 1925, she became assistant order clerk. In June 1925 Miss Williams was given an extended vacation with pay and upon her return, was promoted to order clerk. She now does all the local buying for the firm for which she works. In addition to making good of her opportunities, each position she has vacated for promotion has been filled by other colored girls of her choice. Her infiltration has been left outside of the Classy Jean Dresses Inc, the firm by which she is employed, and other firms have left her to choose competent colored help. Big things, we call it, from manager opportunities. The Urban League stands for service to both employer and employee. For Preston News Service Negro social workers are vitally interested in the coming of Dr. Ed- ward M. Clopper from the Council of Social Agencies in Cincinnati, O., to assume the direction of the Federation of Social Agencies in Pittsburgh on October I. The Federation of Social Agencies in Pittsburgh has been organized with a great deal of difficulty because of misunderstandings between two rival camps of the older social agencies in Pittsburgh. It is, indeed, significant that they have now reached the point of employing an executive to direct the development of social work throughout the city. Negroes are interested in this step as it will mean that all the Negro social and welfare institutions and agencies will be subjected to a control that will mean the most intelligent and unselfish service being rendered for such institutions and agencies or they will be closed up. It further means that the worthy institutions among Negroes will be adequately and promptly supported and those found to be unworthy—no matter how flourishing now,—will most likely be eliminated. Pittsburgh Negroes should be especially interested in the kind of social policies Dr. Clopper will bring from Cincinnati and institute in Pittsburgh. In order to have their points considered, the Negroes of Pittsburgh must take a larger share in the support of those institutions they deem worthy. In the last analysis, the Negroes of any city receive the largest amount of benefits from social agencies in most cities, and therefore should be on the alert to see that they get their full share in Pittsburgh. Negroes who constantly complain about not having a chance in various skilled and semi-skilled industries should visit some of the big technical schools of the country at opening time (granting the difficulty Negroes have to enter) and note the few young Negroes who seek admission. On the thousands of youth entering the technical schools with which that once occurred, the nearest Negro youth entering. But you find plenty of them seeking entrance in the large medical, dental and law schools. I often wonder how these professional aspirants expect to eke out an existence in the future if this sort of thing keeps on for a few more years. From whom will their fees come? It appears that the race in tending to become top heavy professional. More of our youth should go into these technical schools and prepare themselves to become producers. Not consumers. After graduation seek some kind of employment in an industry current along the way their training. One of the pay roll, make friends with white employees there. Eventually the race will get a stronger foothold in the skilled and semi-skilled industries of America. There is a lot of bank advanced that the white employer owes us a chance on account of our constitutional rights, etc. The employer don't owe untrained workers any money, but they keep them out of his establishment. First need to fill the job, then seek it. What we need is more trained men in skilled and semi-skilled industries. If qualified then seek the job. Quality, and stop complaining until fitted to hold a job when you MAKING EFFORTS TO PRESERVE OLD RACE MELODIES Old Plantation Songs Fastly Disappearing With Migration Of Negroes To The North. TUSKEGEF. Ala., Sept. 30.—The New South is fast losing one of the cherished traditions of the Old South—the "spirituals" and unmatched harmony in the song of the Negro. Industrial progress is believed by music critics to be the largely responsible for the changed conditions among the race. The large plantations of Dixie at one time were the homes of the South's chief Negro musicians. "His different now. The best musicians of the race are to be found in the cities and centers of population. But many of these who have become urban citizens have acquired cultural attainments which have depressed from the old-time song. Big cotton farms in the far South have been cut up into many smaller trunks. The cotton plainer who began to work in the cotton-producing plant he found. His Negro teams have found more profitable employment in the cities—in the factories, on the highways, in structural work. With the scattering of farm help the oldtime harmony, is passing. One must journey far into Abmana and find Negro singing which even approximates the harmony that once existed over the entire South. Tuskegee Institute is making serious effort to preserve for both the white and Negro races the spirit of song originated by the Negro. The institute has produced some of the finest singers. During the last college year, its glee club presented an interpretation of the Negro songs of other days which was described as being as nearly perfect as reproduction could be made. Fisk and Hampton likewise have given much along similar lines of endeavor as the influence of leaders of both races. Those who have never heard the real cotton-patch harmony can scarcely appreciate the apprehension of music lovers that this art is abut to pass. Fifty colored persons, of various ages, in one cotton field are capable of producing an impromptu program of song, chant, whistling and chatter that can be found nowhere else on the globe, in the opinion of music critics who have traveled far to hear the music in its original setting. The song is usually one which was never written. It may or may not be one already worked out and familia? to those participating. A Negro does not have to "know," a song to join with his followers in singing it. Every ninth group has a "leader." This person is nearly always a man. He "strikes" his key—and the group is off. This same song may be "sung for an hour, or all day." It never becomes monotonous because of its variations. The present day jazz artist boasts of his "barber-shop." He knows nothing of "mediterranean" and "chords." The Negro singer can "ring in" more notes than have ever been written in the staff. "He sings in minor, major and unknown "keys." There's no precedent for what he does. Today he sings a new song and sings it differently from that of yesterday. Tomorrow he will have a new song and more harmony. No matter what he sings and how he sings it, there is that indescribable rhythm, swing and motion which is as harmonious as the flow of a meadow brook. He knows nothing of crosses, fortissms, plannissims. He does know harmony. QUINN CHAPEL The ladies of Quinn Chapel are planning to give a mock Conference at their church on Friday night Oct. 9, 1925.

J. W. GOLDEN, — EVANGELIST REV. A. L. REYNOLDS, PASTOR THE MAYOR Thirty-three years ago when the late W. C. 'Borden was struggling to establish the well known corporation bearing his name, there came into his employ Charles D. Caul, the subject of this sketch. During all these years he has not only rendered the service for which he was paid, but also a splendid loyalty to the business and a devotion to his employer which amounted to almost adulation. Mr. Gordon felt that "Dave" was not only an employee, but part of the build. He always said, "I will never forget Dave." At a corporation meeting when it was decided that on account of increasing inquiries Mr. Caul could no longer render the high standard of service required of all of the employees, the question arose, "What shall be his pension?" Mr. Roberts, the manager, said, "What would the Old Man" (Mr. Gordon is always affectionately referred to as the Old Man) say if he were here? Mrs. Gordon, the President, said, "I know it would please him to give Dave the income on $10,000 which would mean a competency during his life time." This was unanimously agreed by the stockholders, and Mr. Caul now spends the remainder of his income from the worries of gaining a livelihood. Honest service and devotion have their y ward, and as our group struggles up to higher planes of business, they are showing an appreciation and a high sense of responsibility to others never before shown by the American people. We congratulate Mr. Cau. We also congratulate the firm of The Gordon Understaking Establishment for their more than just treatment of an old employee.

Sept. 30—Notwithstanding the great handicap under which the Negro must live in the Southland, there is great progress being made. It was really gratifying to note the successful enterprises owned and conducted by Negro men and women. Race men take a genuine interest in pooling their finances, and in establishing businesses, which are patronized by their group and which in turn give employment to their cultivated boys and girls. It is not surprising to come into a small town where the population is less than 5,000 and find grocery stores, insurance companies, dry goods and shoe stores and poultry businesses being owned and operated by Negroes. A large number of men and women control real estate, from which sufficient income is had to support large families. There is a definite and decided change in the attitude of the white people toward the Colored people. It is claimed to have been brought about through the inter-racial committees. In Greenville, South Carolina, three efforts of Mrs. Hattie Logan Duckett, the Phyllis Wheatley Association Community Center has been established. Three leading business white men gave $50,000-00 and the Colored people gave enough more to erect a $75,000-00 building in the heart of the business section of the city. Mrs. Duckett received inspiration and much of her observation work at the Phyllis Wheatley Association in Cleveland. Both white and Colored people serve on the Board of Trustees of the Greenville Association. A wonderful spirit of cooperation exists which other cities could well afford to exemplify. Negroes of this section are apparently contented and are buying property and building schools and working toward a better future. There are similar institutions thru out the South for the betterment of Colored people. LET THE ARGUS BE YOUR SHOPPING GUIDE.

Their beautiful display of the ancient Greek scenes brought compliments from the hundreds of Pythians who were present. This was the first Pythian event ever held by the Pythians, and its success will be followed by the holding of such meetings in every section of the state. A real barbecue feast had been prepared and was sried at the close of the Degree Work. Grand Charleston A. W. Lloyd and Grand Keeper of Records and Seal W. T.

Curtis Labor Shortage Prompts Release Of Prisoners Associated Negro Press JACKSONVILLE, Fl., Sept. 30. The labor shortage here is so great that the municipal judge has been compelled to release prisoners in order to assist the billing the demands of laborer. The demand is not due to a growing into the State from Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and other nearby states. It is due mainly to the great development work going on all over the state. Last Thursday Sitting Municipal Judge Madison released three prisoners from the city prison farm to be turned over to the Chamber of Commerce to help supply the demand for labor. In some parts of the state, common labor receives as much as four and five dollars a day, while skilled trade pay from $6 per day to as high as $11. Both black and white have no opportunity to labor in this state, and Negro skilled tradesmen are paid as well as the whites. It is reported that in Miami, contractors are at such a point in seeking labor that they take laborers from trucks which take them out to their work in the morning. They bid a dollar or two more a day than the laborer is getting and take them away. For the next five years it is profitable. Florida will be a gold mine to everybody capitalist and laborers, to CHICAGO STARTS.WAR ON MOTOR CAR "SHIEKS' CHICAGO, Sept. 23—Wisdom one little flappers who stand appearanceally at the edge of the curb where the "step" lights "hold automobiles" temporarily at a cross street and who insistently accept "offers" to "accept a lift home" must cut out the racket. Too many girls are being lured out of catals, and river silks or plumbers with acrobatics. Of course, the majority of them do not home, but the percentage of those who do not is too great. Organized bands of morons and white shoppers have found it easy to get them, thus by simply inviting them into a nostle limousine. Three girls captured the one of the filver squads patrolling the avenues with orders to "shoot a kill kidnappers, seen a night in the police station and were held, 85 each." Three men, drivers of the cars, also were fined and warned that a repetition of the offence would mean the penalty. The girls were amazed that they should be arrested and held all nights in cells. It is the first time we have accepted a ride home," one of their faltersed, when arraigned. "It makes no difference" said the court.

SUBURB Has 253 Modern Dwellings: Electric And Steam Railways, Public Edifices. PORTSMOUTH, Va., Sep 30 No longer are Robey, Okla., and Brooklyn. III, the leading cities of the country, practically owned, and run solely by Negroes. Through the closure of a deal, with the government colored citizens bought, the "war time" city of Truxton, Va., at a price close to $150,000. It is the new Athens of the colored American. The "City of Truxton lies in the suburbs of Portsmouth, Va. It was built for colored workers during the World War at a cost of $1,000,000. Finding little use for it since 1919, the government decided to auction the town off through sealed bids. A group of colored financiers turned out to be the highest bidders, and the town went to them. The town of Truxton is modern in every rest and will rank with some of the best towns in the country of its size. It lies within one mile of the U.S. Navy Yard in Portsmouth. It is served by both electric and steam railways. The picturesque little town has 253 modern dwellings of a modest yet imposing architecture. The houses are of a similar plan, each having five rooms, bath, hot water, a furnace, and an electric light system. Each home is provided with a spacious front and back yard. The town has an ideal street and sewer system, the streets being wide, gravel surfaced thoroughfares having a narrow parkway containing flowers and shrubbery running through their centers. The town's school is a modern ten room, brick building. It is equipped to meet all community needs, having a spacious auditorium for concerts, picture shows and dances. The school rooms are of the most modern type. Of the 253 houses 143 have been sold and are now occupied. All of the 105 unsold houses will be im- mediately placed on the market on January 1, 2015. The payment on these houses will not exceed the percent a month. It has been arranged to spend $10,000 to have most of the buildings in the town newly painted. The colored citizens have already proceeded to form their own government, organize their own police and fire department, and set up their own businesses. The town in every respect speaks the spirit of the new Negroes of independence, faith and progressiveness. Rotarian Denounces Klan Associated Negro Press CAMDEN, N. J. Sept. 30.—The Ku Klux Klan was denounced as a group of enthusiasts, parading under the banner of patriotism that which is really a gospel of hate, by Dr Harry S. Fish, former governor of the Thirteenth District of Rotary Clubs, in his address at Union Methodist Church Sunday evening. "World Fellowship" was the subject of the speaker. "Most people spend too much time in hunting," he said. "Everybody has enough good in him to easily found if he would only spend part of the time in hunting virtues that we now spend in hunting vices." To point this charge that the Ku Klux Klan stands for a "gospel of hate," he told the story of a barber in a western city, member of the hooded order, who put a sign over his shop door. "Hate the Negro, the Jew, the Irish." "A storekeeper across the street thought he also knew something about Americanism," the speaker said. "He erected a sign which read, "200 Percent American a: I Hate Everybody." "Love as the basis of brotherhood, is the only thing that will overcome the differences, misunderstandings and delusions to which humanity is given" the lecturer told his big audience. "Most people spend too much in hating. None of us can tell when our end will come. No matter when it comes, life is too short to be spent in the unhappy task, of disliking others." He pleaded for "more progress in smoothing out the religious and racial prejudices that so grievously divide us," praising the plans of the "1600 club" which is to meet at the Union Church, as "helping to beat down the barriers of creeds and races which often matter very much in setting up the standard of brotherhood and love."

PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul Tells the People About God. JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Preaches on Mars Hill. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—God the Father of All Mankind. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—True and False Ideas of God. I. The Idolatry of the Athenians (v. 10). Athens was the intellectual metropolis of the world at that time, the home of the world's greatest dequequence and philosophy. Paul's spirit was stirred within him when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. II. Paul 'Disputing With the Athenians' (v. 12, 13). True to his usual custom, he went into the Jewish synagogue and entered into earnest argument with the Jews and devout persons. 2. In the Market Plague (vss. 17b-21). From the Jews he turned to such as were found in the market place. Here he came into touch with the Epilogue and Stone philosophers. The Samurai were asthetically materialists. They denied the doctrine of creation and gave themselves up to sensual indignities since they rejected the idea of a future judgment. The latter were painterists. When they heard the propheling of Paul they desired to know what new doctrine he preached, so they invited him to the Areopagus where he might speak to them of his new doctrine. They inquired as to what this "babbler" might say. Since the Athenians signet their whole time either in telling or hearing some new thing, they were willing to listen to Paul. The word "babbler" means literally "used picker." They consecrated Paul to be a globe-trotter who gathered up seeds of truth here and there over the world, and that he was somewhat like themselves, interested in talking about that, which he knew. III. Paul's Address on Mars' Hill (vv. 22:31) 1. The Introduction (vv. 22:23). He did not accuse them of superstition but as in the Revised Version, he introduces his discourse in a courteous and conciliatory manner, stating that he perceived that they were very religious. This he explains by saying that as he was viewing their city he behold an altar with an inscription to the unknown god. This was his point of contact. He proceeded at once to connect it with the idea of the Living God, implying that this altar had been erected to Him. 2. The Body of His Discourse (vv. 24:31) 1. A Declaration Concerning God (vv. 24:25) He created the material universe (vv. 24:25). This was a direct blow at the philosophy of both the Epicureans and the Skele. i. His Spirituality and Immensity (v. 21:25) He is not worshiped with men's hands as though He needs anything neither is He conceived by any sort of a religious female. Being essentially spiritual, He demands heart service, and being transient, above all. He is not enjoined to earthly temples. c. His Active Evidence (v. 25) He gives existence, bestows needed gifts, and as sovereign, directs all things. (2) A Declaration Concerning Man (v. 21:21) a. It was a blow at the foolish Athabascan pride which supposed that they were superior to all other people. This proposition he proved from their own life (v. 28). b. Nations have their place by the sovereign purpose of God (v. 20). (1) Men Should Seark God (v. 27). His goodness and grace in supplying all our needs, and ordering that (even the affairs of the nations should move men to see and seek God). (2) The Pressing Obligation to Repent (vv. 30:31). This was his supreme message. IV. Results of Paul's Preaching (vv. 32:34). 1. Song Mocked (vv. 32). This is even the case today. Men until women will mock the preacher who preaches a judgment to come. 2. Some Pro-rastinated (v. 32). Many do not mock, but they hostile to accept and get upon the urgency of the message. 3. Some Believed (v. 34). Wherever the gospel is preached there are some who believe and are saved. As Men Succeed Men succeed in proportion to the fidelity of their views and the inviolability of their purpose. If you can find out a man's quitting point, the place where he gives up, turns back, you can measure him pretty easy. -Marden.

Carter, Bishop Delave at the fourth Episcopal District, C. A. Church, who spoke at Lane Tabernacle Sunday night, would bring all Christians to worship at the shrine of Christ rather than their respective denominations.

ROBINSON For Preston News Service (Pearls of the Soul) AT BREAK OF DAY I love to lie awake at break of morn And watch day's loveliness being slowly born: The darkness softly fading into gray As twilight's glow becomes the smile of day. I love to hear the first cock crow at dawn, The first dog's bark across the dewy lawn: The first outburst of factory whistles boud, The first light footfall of the pass- ing crowd. As it goes forth to earn its daily bread, And win rude shelter for its tired head. I love to hear the first wheel turn at morn, As Struggle calls us with her noisy horn. I love to watch gray breaking into blue, And blue turn gray with old Sol's first bright hue. The last star hurrying to hide away, As from the East the rosy sun- beams play. I love to hear the first bird sing at dawn, And smell the freshness of the dewy lawn. And deeply drink the elixir of life, As bell and whistle sound the call to strife. I love to feel within my soul at morn, Deep gratitude to God, and peace reborn. And kindly love toward all my fellow- men: A clear, calm mind, bent dauntless- ly to win. I leap from bed, and breathe a grate- ful prayer. That God has been so good to kindly spare. So vain a thing as I: I hum a song. As I feel in my heart life pulsing strong. So I go forth light-hearted to my task; And only life and health and beauty ask: For day breaks in my soul, and joy is born. Anew to dawning of each lovely morid. TRANQUILITY To lie upon the breast of Mother Earth. And feel the beating of her mighty heart. Feel her travailling in eternal birth. And sense that I am of her soul a part: To feel my kinship with the dew-kissed flowers. The reveries breezes and the crystal shower. The wanling birds and gentle laughing sing. To understand the magic of sunbeams: This to my heart is sweet tranquility. By setting a limit to your wants and keeping them there, you get more out of life.

Subject: 'Ta two roads, the marrow and broad roads, LYNCHING THE INSANE (For The Associated Negro Press) In the blessed state of Georgia even the Negro patients in the insane asylum are not safe, from the insane asylum counting outside. A vividly insane Negro bent some of the white nurses with club, and she died. Some of the nurses or other employees communicated with the unincurred insane nurses who entered the asylum and took this insane human out and brutally lynched him. Some sensible questions need to be asked. First, why does not the state of Georgia have Negro nurses and administrators in charge of Negro inmates? No, they give these whites men and women the chance to offer their services on the intercourse of that segregation in the institution of that segregation, though for their social economic advantage. It that nurse did been coerced, civilization would have been saved from disgrace. For the same reason, every southern state should have Negro policemen in Negro sections, so that when some officer is killed by a colored criminal, the consequence * is prosecuted against crime and on charges by habeas corpus against civilization and human deceit. And got them — some salary-humane officers did their best to keep in touch with all nurses and dispatchers sick and disabled Negro salarians at Turkegue, so that any asylum or any be any time, they would have issued these forms of hell. We know them as we know now that they who thus tried to Negro, that they interest in his wurture but in their own gain. And yet these Georgian men were following somewhat the example of our courts of law. If the reader will rehearse, he will recall that almost every day, when one white person has done something violent at his court, his sinity is impaired by the courts and he is entery adjudged justice and irresponsible. But such an inquiry is never made in the case of Negro who have attacked or injured them when they have attacked or injured Negro. The Negro who does wrong is always sane. "All such ingenuity belongs to white people. If the truth could get a hearing, of the very few Negroes who ever do actually勾结牢 THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 2, 1925 or murder against white people in the south, would be judged by a civilized court to be insane. In this invasion of asylums and lynching of the insane, the State of Georgia has successfully reasserted its pristine supremacy in this whole beastly business. DURHAM, N. CAROLINA BY WILLIAM PICKENS The most exceptional thing in Durham, N. C., is not "Bull Durham" and the Tobacco Duke, but the Negro manhood and the Negro womanhood over the earth and white millionaires are all over the United States, but such business enterprise and fine manhood and womanhood as Durham colored folk can show you, cannot be found in any other city of that size. They have expert service in fire and life insurance, in building associations and in banking, and every form of retail stores. The men are especially interesting. They are quiet, modest, unblustering kind. One would never suspect that a plain plainsman would be gentle, sochilee like Mr. McMullen be the heart of so many corporations and bustling business enterprises. By a sort of voluntary, incidental segregation the colored people occupy one ide of the town and the white people the other. The railroad track divides them. Commercially, the colored people have a city of their own buying and selling into him, the offices and the stations of great businesses. In Negro Durham one has a following like his feeling in the Negro City of Holey, Oklahoma.—That here at least is an oasis of freedom for a black man in a desert of Jim crowing, encrusting, marrying civilization. Saklatvala And Kelfogg BY WILLIAM PICKENS The Association - Negro Press. If Shapurji Saklatvala, member of British Parliament from India, were seeking permanent residence or even extended sojourn in the United States, some people might consider Secretary Kellogg's act of revoking Saklatvala's right to enter America as more nearly justifiable. But when the colored member of the British legislative body was coming simply to attend: meeting of the interparliamentary nation, a delegate from a friendly nation, the act of exclusion seems extremely small and Genderle, to say the least. But the worst phase of the matter is not the affront to Saklatvala, but the affront to the American people. Who made Secretary Kellogg the guardian of the morals and political manners of the American people? What right has anyone little American can man to assume that all the other American men will be "spoiled" by simply hearing some foreigner express his ideas about government? Saklatvala may disagree with Kelogg, but other American citizens have as much common sense as Kelogg, or if they have not, they ought to have some authority to hear and learn. Secretary Kelogg should have no right to limit the American and women to the Kelogg idea of government or of anything else. It is a nuisance to have a man, who by mere political accident gets appointed to some high office, to assume that this accident also makes himself superior in judgment and morals and sense to all the rest so the people. We never thought that the office of Secretary of State in America meant that the official was to tell the American people what they should or not hear and read and study. This spirit of tolerance is stalking big in the country of Jefferson and Lincoln, in government now, as in religion. The Bryans and the Bigots want to tell us how far we shall investigate God; and the Keloggs and the Standpotters want to tell us how far we shall investigate Government. They may strut in a temporary advantage, but in the end, they will not get away with it. Hez Heck says, "Gals, as a rule, with more care than they select a husband." "MAIN STREET" EDITOR SCORES BACKSLIDING OF CIVILIZATION BY E. TEN EYCK Associated Negro Press Writers are often stirred to comment by the extreme cruelty indicated in such methods used by mob murders as was evidenced in the recent burning of a Negro in Mississippi. Most of the caustic comment herefore seems to be from Negro writers and newspapers under their control. I happened in the town of Zanesville this week and glanced at a front page editorial of the Times Recorder, a white daily, of that Ohio city, which, if generally read, would quicken the faith of many and hold off further the completion of the foundation of race conflict. I cannot quote from it without eliminating some convincing sentence, so I give the editorial in full. It's one of the best comments of the decade. The Editor says: In the news of Monday was a note of grim tragedy—tragedy in that with a gesture it swept away a thousand years of civilization and brought men back to the primitive. A Negro was burned at the stake in Mississippi after he had confessed to attacking a young white girl, nefric in hospital, and death in prison, told that story. The Negro did not He had no opportunity after the mob of 300 seized him. "The man was being taken to the hospital where the girl was to attempt to identify him. No doubt she would have. But she might have recovered from her hysteria and said: No, this is not the man—I never forget the evil face that beamed at me." What if she had said this? Who knows, especially who among the mob that took his life, but what she would said exactly this. She had had time to recover from her hysteria, no matter how much the heart of a girl taught to mistrust all colored men of more than 15 years, there could have been that element of tenderness that treasures human life. "But the mob was stirred by the blood lust." The sheriff, weakling that he must have been, made, no move to protect his prisoner when he saw a cordon of autos across the road. He turned the man over with, out firing a shot, "luckless," he said, but we know one sheriff who, with his stalwart son, protected a Negro who had made a public confession of such a deed by the simple expedient of drawing two business-like revolvers and backing them up with real courage of the kind that begets admiration among red-blooded men, kept his prisoner, later executed for his crimes, in a courtroom. "You may ask if it makes any difference whether a mob burns an unfortunate, or the state breaks his neck. A fair question. Neither is a desirable course, but in the latter he has that chance for life that any man black or white, criminal or saint, is guaranteed under the law of the nation in which the mob men and the law-binding live side by side. the psychology of a mob is a peculiar thing. Especially is the southern mob a group that passes understanding. By no note or law could they see themselves adjudged criminal or murderers; yet their is 'a no less purged of the elements of murder and cowardly murder, than the crime for which they took away a life, regardless of whether it was the right life or not. The hysteria that dominates an action such as that in Mississippi is the kind of hysteria that raises the institutions of acons and acons of time, tears down the structure of a fragile civilization, none too secure so long as human beings educate their material minds to the neglect of their spiritual selves. Three hundred spiritual leonolochies, destroys the kons curturies of work and thought, firing the fire and more impressionable with the clat for blood, this we have seen in Mississippi and each of the three hundred returns to his business peaceful, law-abiding and honored citizen. Civilization, after all, is a good many centuries away." GARVIN HOUSE SERIOUS STRAIN ON RACE ISSUE AT CLEVELAND, OHIO Associated Negro Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 30—You have heard of the question of what will happen if an irresistible force hits an immovable body? It may be that the answer will be found in Cleveland. At this writing, the whites about the Wade Park alimitation may be likened unto the "irresistible force." Colored Cleveland is the "immovable body." In a preliminary conference in the offices of William H. Boyd, heading white attorney, attended by a group of citizens of both races, appointed by representative gatherings, there was announced by Mr. Boyd, friendly and frank discussion on both sides, but there was not a solution. Colored Clevelanders declare that subject far transcepts that of the individual. De Charles Garvin; it is maintained that it has become a matter of principle, which the famous traditions of Cleveland and the Western Reserve will not admit of waver upon nor taking a backward step. It is been pointed out that the same condition exists in practically every big city of man, in the North, and whatever Cleveland is bewailed, and set a precedent. There are many Clevelanders, of both races, who are jealous of the history of fait play for which the community has been famous from the beginning. On the other hand, Cleveland seem to be inhabited with many thousands of southern whites who, unable to show their anti-antifraud in other ways, are using the housing means to have it seen. Hard upon the heels of this situation came a Chinese Tong murder and a drastic order from the Director of Safety and City Manager Hopkins to arrest all Chinese in Cleveland and close all of their places, which has been done with a vengeance, regardless of the location or standard. The authorities have ordered "China Town," in the heart of the business, center. razed. It is declared to be a menace to public health. to public health. The public is looking on with interest as to where the new "China Town" will be located, and what will be the attitude of the citizens in the location that will be ascribed to them. There seems to be a well-defined thought among certain classes of whites in Cleveland that Colored Americans must be handled in the same way as the orients. There are many Clevelanders who deplore the wholesale manhandling of the Chinese because of a single murder, and they see in this move a certain siglance in the event of an overt act regarding housing conditions in this big city. In the face of this condition, racial leaders are laving before the Chamber of Commerce and other civil bodies of Cleveland, as well as the constituted civil authorities, that next year is to see the two largest most helpful gatherings of Negroes held in Cleveland in the city's history. These are the National Negro Business League and the National Convention of Elks. It is estimated that these two bodies will bring more than 400,000 Negroes in expended wealth. Richmond, Virginia, in the heart of the South, received the thunder and of Elks from all over America with literally open arms, backed by the Governor, Mayor, Chamber of Commerce and others. Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the four worms now know how the men care for their children still adapt well to the National Business League to "Come over in Macedonia," not only to help out to "see how we have been on the square since those awful days." It is said in Cleveland that following any ever act, if the worst should come, cleveland would be explaining itself for the next fifty years, and the blot would still be the blot, but other cities that "lost their mood." The Garvin house is pearling completion; the director of public safety Edward Barry, former sheriff, promises police protection; the two immediate neighbors of the Garvin have continued to be furious, and the daily newspapers are playing a short game since Monday. The most conservative Clevelanders declare this is the severest strain on race relations this city has ever experienced. CLEVELAND FACES HOUSING CRISIS Associated Negro Press CLEVELAND, NEGRO Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 20. This city faces a crisis in the housing situation. Buried in many other cities of the North, the decision of a Committee of Citizens of both race who are discussing the housing conditions in this city for many years to come. Atty W. H. Road, one of the foremost citizens of Cleveland, a former candidate for Mayor, and United States Senator, has appointed a committee of five of the white residents of the Wake Park district. A group of leading colored citizens met in the offices of J. W. Wills and Company. 2340 East 55th street, and after discussing the subject at length appointed a committee of six upon the request of Mr. Road, to meet the other committee. The committee follows: Herbert S. Chanque, secretary of the Empire Savings and Loan, to chairman; attorneys Alexander H. Martin and Clayborne George, Rev. M. Kingsley, former pastor of Mr. Zion Congregational Church. Rev. Mack T. Williams, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, and Dr. E. J. Gregg. The committee of racial citizens would not give out a report in advance of their conference with the Wade Park committee, but they appriciate the gravity of the situation because they that the situation now far transcends the individual, and becomes a subject of nationwide import. Clevelanders believe that the entire housing subject is one of a studied college model. Colored people to segregate and discriminate promote separate schools in northern cities. Y. M. C. A. TO EXPAND ACTIVITIES (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 30 — In keeping with the rapid increase in colored population throughout the Northwest, and the advance made by Negroes in business and industry, the problem of expansion into fields heretofore unattended for the Young Men's Christian Association, is uppermost, at this time, in the minds of its 32,000 colored members. Officials of the Colored Work Department of the National Council here declare that "the relegation of the colored people to the program of M. C. A. and the tremendous need for such service encourages the leadership plan for unprecedented campaigns of expansion." In two fields notably the Negro association finds its greatest opportunity for development in the interest of character-building among the small towns. These fields are the small towns of rural areas of the South and the large metropolitan areas of the North where the increase is constantly on the rise. "The Y. M. C. A., next to the church and the school," said Channing H. Tobias, senior secretary of Colored Work of the National Council, is making the largest contribution to the character development of the colored man and boy in America, whose membership has increased more than 4,000 since last year, two new buildings at the cost of nearly $500,000 have been added to our equipment, and more than two millions of men and boys have been served through our activities, but we feel that we have hard-scratched the surface of our possibilities when we think of the hundreds of colored men and boys in the midst of the transportation service and other industries, to whom the helpful services of the Y. M. C. A. might be extended." The question of expansion is expected to occupy a leading position on discussions of the Twenty-fifth National Conference on Colored Work to be held in New York at Washington, D.C., where the first colored Y. M. C. A. was established seventy-two years ago. Prominent at the conference will Dr. John R. Mott, General Secre- tary and the International Committee International Y. M. C. A.; S. Wirt Wiley Unusual Printing Effects Without unusual cost Associate General Secretary; Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College of Atlanta, Ga., colored member of the General Board and generally regarded as one of the leading Negro educators in the United States, and Dr. R. R. Moton, chairman of the Colored Department Committee of the National Council, and the successor of Booker T. Washington as principal of Tuskegee Institute. $55,000 DORMITORY DEDICATED AT PAINE COLLEGE GIFT OF M. E.
