PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE TO LEGION RINGS WITH FAIRNESS AND TRUTH An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man Forgetting Of Hatreds Is Urged As Necessary At Home If U. S. Is To Lead In The Cause Of Peace SUPERIORITY IDEA HIT. TOLERANCE, LIBERALISM Says Look Beyond Race Creed. No Monopoly Of Patrotism And Character. Opportunities Vary." OMAHA, Neb. Oct. 7. While an estimate number of 150,000 members of the American Legion, representing many racial stocks, listened, President Calvyn Coolidge, who set a president by being the first chief executive of the country to visit an American Legion Convention, addressed the national convention of the Legion here Tuesday. The President's speech was characterized by that deep prudence and fair-mindedness that is generally associated with the abbreviated New Englander. The keynote of his speech was tolerance and liberalism in dealing with all peoples. Honor Men Who Fought In the high points of his speech, President Coolidge declared: "The year brought a great test of our experiment in amalgamating varied factors into a real nation, with the ideals and aspirations of a united people. Noise was excerpted from the obligation to serve when the hour of danger struck. The event proved that our theory had been sound. On a solid foundation of national unity there had been erected a superstructure which in its varied parts had offered full opportunity to develop all the range of talents and genius that had once been lacking. Well-nigh all the races, religions and nationalities of the world were unarmed and armed for the nation, as they were in the body of our population. No man's patriotism was impugned or service questioned because of his racial origin, his political opinion, or his religious convictions, immigrants and sons of immigrants from the central European countries fought side by side with those who descended from the countries which were our allies; with the sons of equatorial Africa; and with the red men of our own aboriginal population, all of them equally proud of the name: Americans. All In Same Boat We must not, in times of peace, permit ourselves to lose any part from this structure of patriotic unity. Make our plan for believing those who are criminal or vicious are open enemies of society and are not prepared to accept the true standards of our citizenship. By tolerance I do not mean indifference to evil. I mean respect for different kinds of good. "Whether one traces his Americanism bark three centuries to the Mayflower, or three years to the steerage, is not half so important as whether his Americanism of today is real and genuine. No matter by what various crafts we came here, we are all now in the same boat. "You men constituted the crew of our 'Ship of State' during her passage through the roughest waters. You made up the watch and held the danger posts when the storm was the fiercest. You brought her safety and triumphantly into port. Out of that you have been learned the lessons of discipline, respect for authority, and regard for the basic manhood of your neighbor. You loft a standard of patriotic conduct and civic integrity to which all could repair. Such a standard, with a like common apprent, must be upheld just as firmly and unitedly now in time of peace. Among citizens honestly devoted to the maintenance of that standard there need be small even about differences of individual opinion in other regards. Granting first the essentials of loyalty to our country and to our fundamental institutions, we may not overlook, but we may encourage difference of opinions as to other things. For differences of this kind will certainly be elements of strength rather than of weakness. They will give varieties to tastes and interests. They will bring our lives and strength our understanding, enrich our knowledge, enhance our manliness, enrich our whole mode and conception of life. "I recognize the full and complete necessity of 100 per cent Americanism, but 100 per cent Americanism may be insufficient. Must protect Precedents." these sacred principles. "If we have the harmony and tranquility we have of spirit, which is the foundation of real national genius and national grease, we must all realize that there are true Americans who do not happen to be born in our section of the country, who do not attend our place of religious worship, who are not of our racial stock, or who are not proficient in our language. If we are to create on this continent a free republic and an enlightened civilization that will be capable of reflecting the true greatness and glory of mankind, it will be necessary to record The St. Louis Argus these differences as accidental and unessential. "We shall have to look beyond the outward manifestations of race and creed. Divine Providence has not bestowed upon any race a monopoly of patriotism and character. "The same principal that is necessary to apply to the attitude of mind among our own people, it is also necessary to apply to the attitude of nature." During the war we were required not only to put a strong emphasis on everything that appealed to our national pride but an equally strong emphasis on that which tended to disgorge other peoples. There was an intensive cultivation of animosities and hatreds and animities, together with a blind appeal to force, that took possession of substantially all the peoples of the earth. Of course, the ministered to the war spirit. They applaud the Incentive or destruction, the motive for compass. But in time of peace these sentiments are not helps but blindness; they are not constructive. Superficial Theory Danger "The generally expressed desire of "America first" cannot be eridified. It is a perfectly correct aspiration for our people to cherish. But the problem which we have to solve is how to make America first. It cannot be done by the cultivation of national bigotry, arrogance, or selfishness. "Hairred, jalousies and suspicions will not be productive of any benefits in this direction. Here again we must apply the rule of tolerance. Because there are other peoples whose ways are not our ways, and whose thoughts are not our thoughts, we are not warranted in drawing the conclusion that they are adding nothing to the sum of civilization. "We can make little contribution to the welfare of humanity on the theory that we are a superior people and all others are an inferior people. All Haven't Same Chance. "We do not need to be too loud in the assertion of our own righteousness. It is true that we live under an enjoyable circumstances. But here come to the final and irrecoverable decision that we are better than everybody else and that we consider what we might be for had their provisions and their difficulties. We are not likely to improve our own condition or help humanity much until we come to the sympathetic understanding that human nature is about the same everywhere, that it is rather evenly distributed over the surface of the earth, and that we are all united in a common brotherhood. We can only make America first in the true sense which' that means by cultivating a spirit of friendship and good will, by the exercise of the virtues of patience and forbearance, by being "plenteous in mercy", and then progress at home and helpfulness abound standing as an example of real service to humanity."

CATHOLICS PASS RACE RELATIONS RESOLUTION "Guard Against Temptations Of. Fou- tering Racial Strife," Clause Reads CLEVELAND. O., Oct. 7. — The 894th convention of the Catholic Central Verein passed this following resolution at its meeting, held here, recently. The spirit of the Constitution of our country makes for that true tolerance our citizens, which Christian purity and charity enjoy on all men. Human privacy is ed by other passions, leads to a disregard of the-rights of others and the obligations of brotherly love. Differences of race, color, language, wealth and social standing are stressed, leading to mutual dislike, distrust, social unrest and even enmity and hideous crimes. Since the cilizery of our country is made up of men of various races and nations, it especially be- ves us to guard against the tempi- tation of racial strife, while we should not power to promote peace and good, will among all men, always randy to actively assist in, the solution of our racial problems. Mindful of the fact that one of the first and foremost saints of the New World, St. Peter Claver, devoted his life to the Negroes, and that even ahead of such glorious martirs as Isaac Jones, an Afro-Marxist, the Baptist by the Church the Blessed Martin Porres, let us in a special manner devote our attention to relieving the condition of the members of the Negro race, subjected to so many injustices, not merely denied rights guaranteed them by . the constitution, but made to suffer slights and indignities which deeply offend them too, are our neighbors, both under the laws of Christ and that of our country. "We therefore wish to impress on our members the obligation to labor for amicable race relations and to grant their assistance to all efforts to bring them about."

NEW PHONE NUMBER CENTRAL 4620 PEONAGE HID IN CAROLINA BACKWOODS Escaped Negro Youth Tells Of Horrors Of Being In South Carolina Camp For Three Years. FATHER ASKS LAW'S AID Will Appeal To Federal Department Of Justice. Act A Violation Of The Constitution COLUMBIA, S. C., Oct. 7.—One of the most startling cases of peonage ever disclosed, in this country, has been uncovered in this state. An enslaved youth, 16 years of age, through stratagem, after many trials and failures—which were always followed by brutal punishment—finally succeeded in making known to the outside world the miserable plight of himself and other Negroes held in veritable bondage on a farm in the hack woods of South Carolina near Elkton. The disclosure came when Norman Holden, who had been missing from his home in Piedmont since 1923, managed to get a letter to his father, H. Bolden, and the latter came and with the assistance of officers freed his son. Wants Prosecution Considerable feeling has been aroused by the father's story of his boy's mistreatment. He has announced his intention to prosecute the case but still under fear of the dreadful outlaw that exists in the state, has expressed fear to proceed without assurance of ample protection in the court. He has been requested to take the case to the Attorney General of the United States and to ask the aid of the government. Teens cf. Horrors Young Norman related his experiences during his two years of capi- lity. He even through a horrible ordeal, told how he was led in to the train, told how he was led in to the train, told how he was a ruse, whereby he was hired to take a profitable job in a certain town, when he started out for, but never reached. Then he was carried to the camp of John A. Carson, a Dixie Highway employee, against his will. He soon found that he was under the surveillance of guards, who were supported by spies among the camp prisoners. All the laborers of the camp were colored. They were forced to live in fifty quarters, food was allotted out to them, and they eldom received any pay. Often laborers would attempt to escape, but they were never successful. When caught they were stripped, fastened over a barrel or a log and flogged. A trial would occasional ly be held in two of the overseers represented the entire court: Eyes and Women Hold Seven boys around fifteen to twenty years of age, and women are being held in the camp according to Bolden. He came to several who he remembered. He told Albert, S. C; C; Sam Armstrong, York, S; C; Joe, Alabama; Jerry Griffin, Willie Griffin; Miss's Matt, Annie and Emma Peden. Young Bolden managed to make his escape by having a colored woman to smuggle him a piece of paper into the camp, on which he wrote a message as best he could and addressed it to his father. Waiting many weeks until he got an opportunity to be working near a mail box, he slipped the letter therein. The overseers believed that the youth could not write. Bolden's father received his son's letter and immediately secured officers to help him. With him went Deputy Marshall J. T. Hartree and Magistrate Howard of Carson County. The representatives of the law were warned to be meek and diplomatic in their dealings with Carson, that he had a bad reputation, and that his camp was considered an outlaw camp. The men after some difficulty finally succeeded in securing Bold n's freedom. In a statement. Bolden's father declared: "I appeal for and beseech the aid of the Department of Justice in securing the trik and conviction, of sold Carson, the releasing of such prisoners held against their will, the elimination of practice as such mentioned, and especially those which violate the Constitution of the United States and seek unjust and inhuman torture, and suffering too those innocent-colored boys, who are now confined in a camp where life of humans or beasts is of little or no value."

The show is a harmonious combination of clean comedy, artistic dancing and good singing. The vocal talent is well introduced in the introductory chorus which presents about eighteen of the company singing and dancing."Rain." The "Follow Me" dances girls and boys at once, register a hit with the audience. Billy Gunn and Harold Brown, the comedians, with Coleman Titus straight man, have a humorous sketch that has to do with a telephone booth and beep customers. Then follows a stream of specialties and novelties that delight the patrons. Mr. Titus, supported by eight girls, sing and dance "Can't Stop Babying You." Henry Davis's excellent tenor is heard in "If You Hadn't Gone Away." Blake Morris scores with an aerobic contourist back dance. Miss Sutton gives an with a dialect song, "Where, The Maccaroni Grows." She also presents "The Bridge of Sighs" dramatically in song and recitation, closing with the girls in "It Had To Be You." A comedy sketch "Slow and Easy" is based on flirtation and keeps the audience laughing. The characters are taken by the comedians, the straight man, Miss Sutton, Mary Walter, Emmae Washington and Ethel Tone. Billy Gunn and Miss Washington have a domestic squabble and sing. "There's Going To Be Some Changes Made." Maxine Lopez is a clever female contortionist, especially in the manipulation of rings which she passes over her body during various contortions. A burlesque court room, with Gunn as Judge, Titus Brown and Miss Washington as defendants, is full of hilarious fun. The "Novelty Four Quartette" is melodious with an unusual display of harmony. They are: James Davis, first tenor; Henry Davis, 2nd tenor; Paul Johnson, baritone; Van Jackson, basso. The final assemblage is a novel and original song and dance arrangement to the tune of "Scene. Disgraceful." "HITS AND BITS OF 1925" AT B. W.

Monday will be "Pay Day," and Friday. Juvenile "Charleston" contest night: THE PICTURE THEATRES Virginia Valli and Eugene O'Brien are the stars in "Seige" at the Star Theatre this Saturday. The battle eternal between the young wife and her husband's relatives, who are bent on ruling her home and her very existence; this opic struggle, for the right to life and liberty, forms a tree memorial drama; gripping for the extreme, with a elixim that is thrilling. Conrad Nagle and Pauline Starke are principals in "Sunup" on Sunday.

It is the story of a man and woman who have been hurled from their ancestral place in society by the treachery of those near and far to them. In case of the man it was an embaling father, a faithlessancer and a disliked friend who scattered his faith in the loyalty of humanity. It is an impressive screen play full of drama pathos with just enough touch of comedy here and there to relieve its tense situations. THE JESTAMERE This Saturday will be the last chance to be "The Last World" at the destination Theatre. It is one of the greatest dramas of adventure and romance ever screened. The attraction for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will be "Proud Flash." It tells of the earthquake and fire that wired out the old San Francisco and of the fresh courage that built up the new city. It is a story of the clash between the forceful, democratic energy of the new generation, and of the old, aristocratic pride. A googgetting, young Irish American meets a girl of American birth, but who has been reared on the continent to dislodge the crude matriarchs of the teller class. This woman is refinement and breeding harriers to all of the caveman as her instincts owe the influence of environment. Elocator Boardman plays the part of Farnamia, the high-spirited girl. The caveman, Patrick O'Mallay, is played by Pat O'Mallay. Harrison Ford depicts a young Spanish noble, Don Jaime. "Capital Punishment" will be shown on Wednesday.

Mrs. Hunter, who is a graduate of the Chicago Musical College, through her ability as a soloist has gained the abilities of the musical critics, wherever she may appear. According to the Durham Meninger Head, Mrs. Hunter "possesses a lyric soprano voice of remarkable charm and purity of tone." Another musical criticism on The Raleigh Times declares she "has a splendid voice, smooth, flexible, and clean in all of its ranges." On the other hand, Mrs. Hunter has won the praises of other musicians and writers among whom are Harry T. Burleigh and Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson. Mr. Burleigh wrote Mrs. Hunter: "The more I think about it the more certain I am that you will become one of our great artists. You have brains, voice, heart, intelligence, aptitude, temperament, ambition, application and magnificent physical equipment."

Every tenth European in the Union of South Africa is classed as a "poor white" and the government hopes to decrease the percentage. The bill is part of a federal campaign by the government against unemployment and poverty. Associated Negro Press SERBING, Fla., Oct. 7.—In the past jew years, Ephraia has gained a bed many among other states. Some of the most brutal and most cruel hap- pings have occurred in this state. The consensus of opinion is that these types are caused by the continued induces of Georgians, who bring their mans practice into play in this state. The latest happening is the driving of Negro painters from their posts by "persons unknown," but whom, every man practices into play, has to be the Georgians migrants. Many of the poorest class of whites are seen coming into the state every day looking for work. Of course, they have no scavage about driving Negro off his job. Negro painters who have local employed to work in Sobering have been searched off the job by a warning that has been posted in compulsive press.

The school will be completed in less than a month and the contractor was anxious that operations should not lag.

"I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies, and holds together more hasseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. IN JAIL—WHY? "A man's home is his castle; the rain may enter but the King may not," is the fundamental principle upon which the English law is founded. Dr. O. H. Sweet, his wife and nine of his friends are in jail in Detroit for upholding this same principle—defending his home. Why? What have they done? The answer is: They dared defend the home of the Doctor from an invading mob. The mob was determined to oust him dead or alive, from his home. Fortunately, the mob was disappointed. Instead of the occupants fleeing and deserting their home like scared sheep, notwithstanding the mob had hurled bricks thru their windows and doors, they used other means of defense, fighting fire with fire, the mob's attack was met with bullets which resulted in two members of the mob being mortally wounded. Following this occurrence, Mayor Smith said that the Ku Klux Klan was responsible for the trouble. The Klan is a lawless organization and the Doctor's home should have been protected from its lawless attack. However, the real law was called in. Dr. Sweet, his wife and nine steadfast friends were incarcerated without bond. And for what? Change the scene for a moment, in one's mind. Think of what would have happened had the mob been composed of Negroes and the defenders of their homes had been white. There would be quite a different story to tell. Therefore, the question arises: Has the colored man as much right under the Constitution, to protect his home as any other citizen? The Detroit case is one of purely self-defense of one's self and home. Dr. Sweet and his associates did what any other group of red blooded Americans would have done under the circumstances: The City of Detroit and the State of Michigan owes them the protection of the strong arm of the law. To prosecute and persecute them is only adding injury to injury, making a mockery of the fundamental law of the land. It will be turning a deaf ear to the common appeal for Justice and Equity before the law. Can the great State of Michigan afford to permit such a travesty upon its reputation for equitable administration of the law and justice to every citizen in its confines? We Hope NOT. BETRAYED FOR TWENTY-FIVE PIECES OF SILVER It was published in this paper last week, an account of the Rev. (?) Kuykendall, pastor of the C, M. E. Church at Vandala, Mo., accepting $25.00 from members of the Ku Klux Klan, who made a visit to his church on the Sunday night previous. Upon being informed of this happening, we were沼气 to believe that such a thing was possible in this enlightened age among the colored ministers, until the report was confirmed by the preacher himself. To betray others is as old as the hills. Judas betrayed our Lord for 30 pieces of silver, 25 pieces of silver were enough for Kuykendall. So we had Judas in our mist today, going around in the garb of a minister of Christ, when in reality they are no more nor less than agents of the devil. This man Kuykendall should be immediately unrooked: He praises the Ku Klux Klan the arch enemy of the innocent and their souls are dwarfed with race prejudice. Yet, Kuykendall sees no evil in the Klan. Such a man is too ignorant to be a leader or he is too, dishonest to be trusted with "the riches of His grace." The $25.00-given by the Klan was a bribe and he accepted it under the cloak of righteousness. Surely the angels turned their faces and wept at such a bold, brazen hypocritical act inside the sacred walls of a church. A duty has fallen upon the officers of this particular church. If they are men, they will not shirk that duty. That duty is to request the bishop to remove the man at once. The church, the great Colored Methodist Episcopal church should unrook this unholy man and let him go, as Ephraim of old, and join his idols. Y. M. C. A.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 9, 1925 "PICK'S PARAGRAMS" By Thos. E. Picklerill Win because you work! Funding debts is easier than finding money. Writing cranks are as common as writers' cramps. The most expensive thing about the house is the expenses. When a fellow gets a lots of long green he doesn't stay green long. Everybody cracks jokes about the pedestrian except the pedestrian." Some people are pure and simple; others are impure and complicated. They're making dresses longer but that's no sign they will last longer. Who remembers when nobody had men rode in the smoking cars? Boy, them was the days When Colonel Mitchell is finally reduced to a Private will he speak his private thoughts. Morality is getting to be what ever some national organization for this and that pronounces it. "community" gets the job. The corner drug store has taken the place of community spirits at the bar. Being "for" something doesn't mean much unless your hand goes down in your pocket at the same time. At last official Washington has investigated the air. Now let them put a high tariff and a tax on it. What the U. S. Government needs is to make up its debt funding commissions from some of our old-time boxe traders. What's the difference? The same fellow who worked so hard to have the manufacture of a hot prohibited for drinking purposes now has stiff joints and rubs it in. All the world likes to be humbled get, but no girl likes to be bent lagged. The Elizabeths of 1925 are so classy they are not on booking terms with the Lizzes of earlier models. Why don't some wise fellow run for office on a platform of more places to park? The Newspaper's Side of It The newspaper naturally "reaches" its readers and the buying public. It is handed from busy father to busy mother. The young men and young men seem it. The children peruse its entertaining features. The news paper is given evidence because it is strictly a home product. It is, or should be reliable. It is part of the community where it is established. It is "on of the family". If a man will "walk a mile for a camel" or a match, he will, so far as he inclination goes, walk five for his favorite news paper. What then, has the newspaper to propose? Really nothing. Who, then does the newspaper's competition? Sterily strangely nobody. The news paper's field is with the cohomel- sions of its possibilities. Unraveled. Form of inertiality ever has and more ever will, measure up in that of the home newspaper. So we might well conclude by inventing this one: a man's mail will reach his whitebasket when nothing else will. Sanitarians! Capitalism Breeds Itself. In New York a large fund set aside to fight capitalism doubled itself with capitalist investments. This does not necessarily prove inconsistency on the part of the man who furnished the money, but it does go to show that the very system sought to be abolated is a living, growing, vital force. When we can dissociate the term "capitalism" with fat magnates and persecuted queens and apply its economic principles to humble investments and modest savings, it will claim greater respect from the common man and will demand less abuse from the persecutors of revolutionary propaganda. Cooperation and Economy. If a man started out to manufacture a watch all by his own efforts and at his own expense, digging in the mines for the jewels and metal, melting sands for the glass, and fashioning the coats and springs by his own handwork, it has been estimated that the materials, labor and tools for the making of an ordinary twenty-dollar watch would amount to $2,000,000. If, therefore, alone and unaided, one should try to develop his community or his private business without the support and cooperation of his fellow citizens, he would foolishly waste a lifetime of effort at the job. Bollown, civilization is cooperation in all good works. More Musical Instruments. An invier claims to have perfected a piano to the tones of which, by means of reflectors, can be sustained like those of the organ. It is surprising that there are so few different kinds of musical instruments in view of the possible combinations. From the three basic principles from which all musical instruments are built, namely, the stringed instrument, like the violin and piano, the wind instrument, like the horn and flute, including the reed of the clavier, and saxophone, the instruments of percussion like the drum and cymbal, there are competitively few developments or combinations. Who can deny that we have just started upon the era of musical instrument making? FRESS SHEVILLE, N.

PURPOSES OF THE HAIR GROWERS' ASSOCIATION PURPOSES OF THE HAIR GROWERS' ASSOCIATION We, the members of the executive board of the Hair Growers Association wish to state to the general public as far as possible the facts in the case which deals with the present Hairdressers Law. The Hair Growers Association with headquarters at 3001 Lawton Blvd., phone Bomont 1958, was organized to protect the Hairdressers against the Hairdressers and Cosmeticians Law passed in the last year. The group is being unjustly discriminated against, by the members of the board on applying for application of registration to the board; and being told by members of the board that they are not qualified to be licensed when the law section three. (3) states specifically that:— "Any person who engages for compensation in anyone, all or any combination of the following practices to wilt:—arranging, dressing, cleansing etc., or similar work upon the hair of any person by any means or with hands or mechanical or electrical apparatus etc., or using a haplometric antiseptic and tonics, etc., in massaging, cleansing, stimulating, beautifying etc., or similar work, shall be construed as practising the occupation of a Hairdresser and Cosmetician and said Hairdresser and Cosmetician shall be required to fulfil all the requirements within the meaning of this act:— Therefore since the executive board of The Hair Growers Association thought it wise to have open mass meetings to inform the general public of the danger of this law, and upon receipt of legal advice and their program outlined, the did not deem it necessary to allow anyone to speak at a recent mass meeting, who could not do so with authority. There will be mass meetings held in the various churches from time to time—all ministers of the city have lined up with the Hair-Growers Association in their effort to wipe out this unjust law.

On entering the dining room they were informed they could not be served in this room, but would be served in the segregated section. The Bishop and Mrs. Aelleyne resented this insult and sought out the manager of the dining department, who informed them they could not have equal service in the dining room, they could up Bishop E. D. W. Jones who resides in Washington, and S. M. Dudley, the attorney of the A. M. E. Zion Church who went to the station and went with them to the Superintendent of the Station and lodged a vigorous complaint against this practice of prejudice. The Superintendent finally issued an order for them to be served. "The local officers of the N. A. A. C.

Showed A Real Interest In Progress Of The Race. A Grauncation To Loyal Colored Americans. In The New York World By Lester A. Walton Students of sociology and race relations regard it highly significant that during the dog days of August when newly acquired homes of responsible Negro citizens were being brushed by mobs in large Northern cities, Southern State and local officials, the daily press and general public were extending a most cordial and sincere welcome to delegates attending the annual conventions of the National Negro Business League, the Negro Elks and the Negro Knights of Pythians, meeting at Tusla, Richmond and Louisville, respectively. Considerable opposition cropped up against New Yorkers of the three organizations when suggestions were advanced last year that the 1925 sessions be held in the Land of Jim Crow. Opponents of the idea predicted serious racial chasms were inevitable if hundreds of Negros unused to Southern customs were to assemble where race discrimination was religiously practiced by statutory pervisions. Showed Harmonious Spirit Showed Harmonious Spirit These presumptive forecasts did not materialize. The reaction was just to the contrary. Instead of driving the races further apart the conventions served to bring them closer together to board of its happening. Two showed their exchange of pliments. Northern Negroes are profuse in their grate of the treatment accorded the neither in Tulsa, Richmond or Louisville and the white people of these communities are fraught to confess their ideas about the Negro have undergone a decided change. They have a higher estimate of the race as a whole. Virginia A Revelation The warm greet M. Newblock, the Chamber of Commerce, the newspapers and people of Tulsa gave Dr. R. R. Moton and delegates to the National Negro Business League has been told. But one of the most unusual stories dealing with race relations since constitution comes out of Richmond, one-time capital of the Conferency, where the Improved Benefective Protective Order of Elks of the World held its sessions from Aug. 12. Some months ago when arranging for the convention, Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finlay Wilson made a special trip to Richmond, conferred with city authorities and business men about the coming of a host of Negroes from different sections of the country; and asked their cooperation, which was promised. They kept their word. During the convention segregation was abolished. The signs in street cars "indicating "Seats for Colored Passengers" and "Seats for White Passengers" were taken down. Negroes sat wherever they saw fit. Even restaurants where Negroes never had broken bread were thrown open to visitors, as were other places of public accommodation. For the first time in its history Richmond temporarily took on the habits and customs of a liberal Northern city. The Elks and other Negro strangers were also on their good behavior. Nearly 1,000 delegates attended Hundreds of sightseers came from distant and adjacent points. Yet, with the largest crowd of Negroes that ever assembled in Richmond, there was not one arrest during the week. The leading white people do not hesitate to say the convention was not only a record breaker numerically but that it was actually seriously endangered. Members of Marion Louge No. 45 of New York are among the most enthusiastic to sing the praises of Richmond white people. At their club, No. 245 W. 137th street, they have on display a newspaper clipping of a group picture in which are Gov. E. Lee Trinkle, Mayor J. F. Bright and Grand Officers of the order. Officials Show Respects Gov. Trinkle made a hit with Negroes by personally making a welcome address to the Elks at the Raya Theatre. In his response Henry Lin- LET THE ARGUS BE YOUR SHOPPING GUIDE. IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR MERCHANT'S ADVERTISEMENT IN THE ARGUS, ASK HIM THE REASON. colin Johnson, who has since died, stated it was the first time in the history of the fraternity that a Chief Executive of a State had extended a welcome address: that in Boston, Chicago and elsewhere these officials had either sent substitutes or regrets. In his welcome address, Gov. Trinkle said he was glad he had lived long enough to witness such a large, representative gathering of Negroes. He openly confessed he did not know them so many high class Negroes in New York. The Monarch Band from New York, seventy musicians, clad in bright new uniforms, was as much of a delight and pleasure to the white people as the colored. The Harlem musicians were very much in demand. On one occasion they played in front of the News-Leader Building and stopped traffic for blocks. In a letter to the band a representative of the paper stated: "The Chief of police told me that he never knew of such a crowd to gather." Not only did words to New York Negroes exert a solid influence in interracial matters, but it so inspired the white citizens that a fund was started to organize a municipal band. One business firm donated $100,000 of Negroes in aid to Redmond, while many traveled by train. Pullman reservations were readily obtainable by all delegates destroys of such accommodations. Failure to get tickets in sleeping cars is the principal objection to Negroes traveling South. One of the Factors The Improved, Renewable Protective Order of Elks of the World has made marked strides both in membership and finances puder J. Finley Wilson of Washington, D. C., who was first elected Grand Exalted Ruler at Newark in 1922. He has been voted back into office by a large majority each succeeding year. When he took charge there were 30,000 active members and 200 lodges. Now there are 110,000 members and 600 lodges. In 1922 there was $30,000 in the treasury and at present a little over $180,000. Up to his administration the lodges were principally in the North. Richmond was known as "the dead line," and the Elks against the organizing of the colored Elks and the reluctance of high Negro officials to go into the South were largely responsible for this situation. In recent years I judges have been formed in Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee, Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona, Mexico and Central America, George E.

HONOR NEGRO EDUCATOR IN SCHOOL NAME CHANGE Capo Girardeau Board Makes Change After Many Years, From Lincoln to John S. Cobb CAPE GIRARDEAU Mo., Oc., G. (Special). Honoring 38 years of unbroken service as an instructor in the Capo Girardeau schools, the Board of Education of this city has ordered the name of the Minoot High School to that of the John S. Cobb school, for memory of the Negroes cator whose death in 1819 ended his long services at the school. Formal rites to mark the change in name of the institution will be held at the school within a few weeks and a program to be made up of addresses by leading Negroes is planned. Robert S. Cobb, a son of the deceased director, who is secretary of the St. Negro Industrial Commission, will attend the funerals. Decision to name the institution for the training of Negro children in honor of Cobb was reached following a resolution presented to the Board by H. L. N. L. Bowman, president, who had conferred with the sign of the deceased. The board members felt that it is proper that such honor be accorded the late principal. It was only through hard labor, persistent study and a determined effort that Cobb rose from the rank of slavery in which he was born to one of the best known educators in Missouri. He was born as a slave in Knok County, Tenn., March 6, 1840. His first teacher was the son of his master, but later he became the servant of a professor of Maryville College, a Presbyterian College located at Maryville, Tenn., and there he attended school and worked part of the time for six years, when he came to Missouri in an ox wagon. He settled near Jackson, Missouri and was elected principal of the Jackson school for three years. He then moved to Cape Girardeau where he taught for 38 years, keeping up his work until his death, Oct. 27, 1919. He was an ardent student, conversant with the classes and his personal library, was an excellent ole. —From "The Cape Girardeau Missouri" WALDEN COLLEGE ENTERS ITS FIFTY-NINTH YEAR NASHVILLE, Tenn.

THE PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO BACE As a speaker once said, "The Negro will not always crawl in the dust. The day will come in which they will be found in all pursuits, achieving distinction and showing capabilities they were never supposed to possess." The destiny of the Negroes was left in their own hands. They had to bear and suffer toll and be patient; they had to carve their own futures, and this they are successfully doing. Sixty years have passed since the shrieks of the slaves were broken. The Negroes were at one time grossly ignorant, destitute of clothing, without homes and forced to bear much on account of color. This despised race today, after so few years, has made much progress such as history nor where else records. The history of the Negro is unique. Their ignorance was equalled only by their poverty. The year 1876 marked the date of the complete inauguration of the school system of the south. In 1888 at Howard University two Negroes, one whom was selected by the faculty to represent, class on commencement, being the foremost scholar among his two hundred classmates; the other was elected be the class for the highest honor in their gift by being made their orator on class day. Boston University has also yielded first honor to a Negro. A Negro professor of theology at Straight University at New Orleans, was a graduate of Vermont University, who afterwards took the prize for traveling scholarship from the Yale Theological Seminary. In 1866 there were scarcely any Negro bounties in Georgia. In 1870 they could easily be counted. Who but a "census taker" would undertake such a task today? The Negro is taking a reliable, useful and honorary place in the business and industrial world. In Georgia there are scores of physicians, pharmacists, seven lawyers and half a dozen newspaper editors. There was a time when if you should meet a colored man on the street, you could soon pass him, so far as his business and intellectual capacity was concerned, without asking a single question. This is by no means the case today. When you pass a colored man today on the street, he may be a wealthy merchant, a retired business man, a prosperous farmer, a banker, a minister, principal of a city school, professor of Greek, Latin, Hebrew, German mathematics or science in some college, or president of a university or college. He may be a lawyer, dentist, physician, pharmacist or a telegraphist. The Negro has done much for himself under great difficulties and encouragement. He has learned that supernatural situation is known to him in just the same terms as any other citizen. Today we find the Negro, in every trade and profession, and in every walk of life is achieving a distinction.

APPLICATION BLANK For Membership of Kewpie Correspondence Club INDIAN ESTABLISHES HIS OWN ART MUSEUM INDIAN ESTABLISHES HIS OWN ART MUSEUM KITWANGA, B. C., Oct. 7—A museum of northwestern Indian art and workmanship, founded and directed by an Indian, is the unique boast of the remote village of Kittwanga in the wilds of British Columbia, according to Harlan I. Smith, of the National Museum of Canada, who has been carrying on researches among the tribes of the Canadian West. The museum is the property of John Loknit, son of one of the two head chefs of the Kittwanga Indians John, who has probably never seen another museum in his life, has assembled in his exhibits numbers of rare Chikatl blankets, ceremonial masks, and other specimens of Indian art. The blankets, made of mountain goats' wool and red bark, are the most intricately woven fabrics in the world, and are valued at from $100 to $500 each. He also possesses a recording photograph which was presented to him some years ago by C. Harris Barbeau a student of Indian masks. John has also been a player in the entertainment of visitors. He proposes now to add to his museum a collection of photographs of Indians, showing tribal costumes and ceremonies. The chief charges no fee to see his museum, but to such tourists as may wish, he rets Indian costumes and blankets in which they have their photographs taken. He also plans to sell duplicates of his Indian photographs, and plaster casts of Indian totem poles and rock sculptures.

Weekly Payroll Has Reached $10,000. NEW YORK. Oct. 7. Scores of colored laborers, skilled and unskilled, using modern building equipment valued, at many thousand dollars, all being manned by a colored construction company, are working insistently filling the establishments' contact to the foundation of the new '101. Tumba Pr sliverian Melfi. Tumba Pr sliverian Melfi. one of the biggest building contracts ever awarded a race construction company. When the building contracts for the new medical center were subdued by the general contractors, Mare Gritz and Sons, early July summer, the Irving Fireproof Centering Co. (colored) was awarded the foundation contract from many several hundred builders. Manned by Negro Builders The head of the colored company, Samuel A. Irving, stated that he would use more concrete in the foundation of the group of buildings composing the center than has ever been used in a single building operation. Mr. Irving, who personally directs the foundation construction, is assisted by a staff which includes a civil engineer, a thunderkeeper, two colored foremen and 100 white foremen. Several times since he began work on this job, he has employed upwards to 300 men and his payroll has reached $10,000 weekly. A tunnel, running from Broadway to Fort Washington avenues, beneath the building, is included as a part of the foundation. An idea of the magnitude of the job may be gained from the fact that the foundation alone will require more than $100,000. Samuel Irving has been connected wily the building trade since he arrived in the country from the West Indies 21 years ago. For a while he worked at the carpenter's trade. He later became comedic with a foundation construction company and worked his way up to boss of a large number of white architects. He helped put in the foundations of such buildings as Gimbel's, Loew's State Theatre, and several other Broadway theatres and public buildings. Fought Against Odds He came to the conclusion a few years ago that he could make money for himself as a contractor since he was able to make it for others. His capital was comparatively small and he found difficulty in securing money for his construction work, especially from among people of his own race. When he was preparing to send in his bid for the hospital job, Mr. Irving needed $10,000 for a bond and other expenses. He says he sought funding from the Negro business men and social organizations. All turned him down and he alleges that several tried to discourage him from undertaking such a big project. He was compelled to get the money he needed from white friends. His civil engineer is William H. Dammond, one of the first colored graduates of the University of Pennsylvania and who for years was teacher of mathematics and science at Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas, and later at Willberforce University. Mr. Dammond was an engineer for the Michigan Central Railroad for seven years. Lands Building Trade All the mechanics employed by Mr. Irving are union men and he is a firm believer in trade unions. White A TRADE MAKER FOUNDATION $10,000,000 BYTERIAN CENTER union organizations have discriminated against the Negro in the past, the Negro me-annie now has a reasonably fair chance in the unions, says Mr. Irving. He is also of the opinion that Negroes should go in mere for the building trades. They are, he says, the largest industries in America and if a man can do the work, he will be given a chance. NORFOLK, VA. PASSES SEGREGATION ORDINANCE DESPITE SUPREME COURT Cloely Ressembles New Orleans Ordinance Against Which The N. A. A. C. P. Is Fighting NEW YORK, Oct. 7- The National Association, for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, has received through the courtesy of P. B. Young editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, a copy of the segregation ordinance recently passed in Norfolk despite the decision by the United States Supreme Court, rendered in the Louisville Segregation Case of 1917, that segregation by law or ordinance was unconstitutional. The ordinance, which closely resembles the New Orleans ordinance, on which a legal fight is being made by the N. A. A. C. P. which will carry it to the Supreme Court, reads in part as follows: Section I. That whenever the building inspector shall have notice or information that any person whomsoever proposes to construct a house for Negroes in a white community, or portion of the municipality inhabited by white people or a house for white people in a Negro community, or portion of the municipality inhabited by Negroes, he shall not issue a building permit for the said house, except on the written consent of a majority of the persons of the opposite race inhabiting such a community, or portion of the city to be affected. Section 2. That it shall be unlawful for any white person to hereafter establish a home residence on any property located in a Negro community, or portion of the municipality inhabited by Negroes, or for any Negro to establish a home residence on any property located in a white community, or portion of the municipality inhabited by white people, except upon the written consent of a majority of the persons of the postmaster inhabiting the municipality, or portion of the city to be affected; the aforesaid written consent to be filled with the City Manager. Flies and imprisonment are provided as penalty for the violation of the ordinance. $50,000 LIBEL SUIT AGAINST TEMPLARS' PAPER LITTLE, ROCK, Ark, Oct. 7—A suit for $40,000 damages has been filed against D.

He did not have an advance agent to do his advertising. His method in gathering a footbold in Corinth was as follows: 1. Finding a Home (v. 2). This he found with Aquila and Priscilla, Jews who were recently expelled from home by the cruel effect of Claudius. 2. L. Tolled for His Daily Breed (v. 3). He was of the same draft with them, being a tentmaker. Every child among the Jews was taught some trade by means of which he could gain a livelihood, should obsession require. 11. Preaching in the Synagogue at Corinth (vv. 4-8). 1. Though Compelled to Toll for a a living While Getting a Foothold in Corinth, He Dill Not Lose Sight of His Main Work (v. 4). He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, persuading the Jews and Greeks. While the missionary should not be above honest toll when necessity arises, he must not allow toll to interfere with preaching the gospel. 2. His Activity Was Increased When Silas and Timothy Came (v. 5). This resulted from three causes: (1) They brought good news from the church at Thessalonica (I Thess. 3:6). To hear of the steadfastness of those who had confessed Christ under his ministry, put new vigor into his labors. (2) They brought pecuniary gifts from the Macedonian church (Phil. 4:15; II Cor. 11:9). Being relieved from the necessity of tolling for a living, he could now devote more time and energy to the preaching of the gospel. (3) Silins and Timothy became assistants to Paul in the work. 3. Paul Opposed (v. 6). His increased activity was met with increased opposition. As the Lord's ministers become more aggressive in their work, the ministers of Satan put forth corresponding efforts in opposition. 4. Paul Announces His Purpose to Turri to the Gentiles (v. 6). Because of their ambition and opposition, he ceased to work among the Jews. There is a time when good judgment causes one to blunder work where efforts have been fruitless, but it is difficult to know just when to do it. Oftentimes, lasting harm is done to the work by pressing efforts when people have turned against the truth. Paul's declaration, "I am clean," was a most solemn one. 5. He Nid Not Go Far Away (v. 7). He remained sufficiently near those whose hearts God, had touched that they could easily find him. It is likewise true that although Christ is obliged to depart from the soul that refuses Him entrance, He lingers with yearning love around that heart. 6. His Success (v. 8). Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, was converted. Perhaps Paul's severe action in turning away from them moved Crispus to act. III Paul's Vision (vv. 9-11). His experiences since coming to Europe were very trivial. He needed encouragement at this time. It is just like the Lord to come at the time of the servant's greatest need. Note the Lord's words to him. 1. "Be Not Afraid." When one is executing the commission of the Lord, he need not be afraid. 2. "Speak and Hold Not Thy Peace." The one who has heard the voice of God cannot refrain from speaking. He cannot be still 3. "I Am With Thee." The Lord is with every one who faithfully carries out His commission. 4. "No Man Small Set on Thee, to Hurt Thee." The one sent by the Lord to do a work is humane from danger and harm until his work is done. 5. "I Have Much People in This City." It is most encouraging to know that in the great cities the Lord has His own people, and that the one who goes in His name shall have fruit for his service. All Are His It is not the high summer alone that is God's. The winter also is His . . . and all man's winters are His—the winter of our poverty, the winter of our sorrow, the winter of unhappiness, even the winter of our discontent.—George Macdonald. Character requires a still air. There may be storm and unpleasant around, but there must be peace within for the soul to thrive. R. T. T. Munger.

BEREA PRESBYTERIAN The three great objectives which should lie as burdens on the heart of every member who loves his church and his Lord are quoting the General Assembly's Special Commission, first "The Peace of the Church" Our group is not so much concerned in the Modernist and Fundamentalist controversy. We believe the Bible is the Word of God. Second, "Special Evangelistic Effort—The winning of man into the fellowship of Christ is the supreme business of the church. Three thousand churches did not receive a single member on confession of faith last year. The majority of individual Presbyterians must confess: I share in the guilt of this failure, and I share in the suffering of this Third, "Lift the Budget Level" National Missions and Christian Education Boards closed the year with a debt of $700,000. The church never faced a greater opportunity to show her love and faith in prayer. Don't quarrel with the budget, pray for it. Let every church make a conscientious effort to raise its quotas." Our local budget for benevolence is doble that of last year. Instead of quarrelling with such a raise let us raise the raise. Let us by our gifts next Sunday reach this third objective so that we may turn our undivided attention to the supreme business of the church. Evangelistic effort. Mrs. W.

Associated Negro Press LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 16—Declarating that, by a subtle display of their canning, women of today have virtually wrested the toga of leader-able women. Chuck Berry's news editor of the Pacific Defender and well known newspaper man, emphasized the need of young men of today preparing themselves for worthwhile and fruitful endeavor, in an address before approximately 1100 people at Phillips College C. M. E. church Sunday night, evidence of the Negro woman's alarm over the passiveness and laziness of her men can possible be seen," said Townsend, "then in the larger responsibility she is taking in the affairs of the world. "Women today earn fully sixty percent of the race's income. They do this in divers *occupations*, some of which men would scorn and do scorn. But silently, gradually and with the force of a nation-wide revolution, Negro women everywhere are realizing that the material progress of the race to a large extent depends upon their own contributions in the sense of hard work, hard work, hard work in politics and social reform. "Alless the men of the Negro race awaken to this fact, twenty-five years from now will find them as strum-scribed in their field of activity and influence in the community as the Indians of North America are now in the United States," he concluded. BOYS DIE FOR ONE ANOTHER Associated Negro Press ROKKY MOUNT, N. C. Sept. 16— Four boys, raging in age from 12 to 14 years, are dead here, the result of drowning in an attempt to save one another's lives. Their names are Savain Spain, Ernest Dancy, Theodore Stancil and Lemon Worsley. It is claimed that the boys were swimming in the Tar River when Dancy got out too far. The Spain boy went to his aid, but could not help him and the other two also made a little attempt to save their playmates. When rescuers made an attempt to bring the bodies to the surface, the four boys were locked in one another's arms at the bottom of the river.

Miss Alberta—There is no reason why your hair should appear straight to the extent of being stringy, but having it straightened with a hot iron. Why not have the operator put in a large marcel? I have seen many pretty waved colfurmes made up with hair which had been previously straightened. Miss Idlewild—There is no reason why you should worry about a healthy coat of tan acquired at the beach. It only proves that you are a modern girl and not one of the old fashioned ornaments whose face and arms were protected by veils and parasols of chiffon, and arm length gloves. It is indeed a pleasure for me to aid you in getting those sunburned arms ready for the bright colored overing dresses that you are looking forward to wearing this summer. See the arms vigorously with a wood bath breath, using a pure soap.

FOX and two of his neighbors were sitting around the place one night in Mr. Fox's kitchen. Mr. Fox had been sitting quietly listening. Not a word had he spoken for Mr. Fox was lost in thought and you may be certain he was not thinking about anyone else but Mr. Fox. It had suddenly occurred to him that he had heard his grandfather tell a story about old Mr. Hunger Wolf that always appeared to the wood folk when the winter had been long and cold. "Yes," spoke up Mr. Fox, "it does seem mighty hard on us folks here in the woods these long cold winters and of course that is the very time that old Mr. Hunger Wolf gets in his work." "Who?" inquired Mr. Possum and Mr. Coon, their eyes growing large with fright. "Mr. Hunger Wolf," replied Mr. Fox, gazing into the fire as if he had no Were Sitting Around in Mr. Fox's Kitchen. idea they were scared. "Did you never hear about him?" Mr. Coon and Mr. Possum shook their heads and looked around to make sure the window and the door to Mr. Fox's house were securely fastened. "He is a pretty bad creature to meet," replied Mr. Fox, "worse than any I have ever heard of, but as he never comes around only in the winter time when there has been a long cold spell we have nothing to fear at present; "We can hide somewhere, where he cannot find us," suggested Mr. Possum. "That is the worst of old Hunger Wolf," said Mr. Fox. "My grandfather said he could get in anywhere, did not have to go through a doorway; the only way to keep him out is to have plenty of food on hand." Break thru the peaceful beauty of the eve; And peace and joy are flown; anxiety And dread Uneasiness wild Restlessness Hurl me into the night that suddenly Has fallen like a horrid shroud of doom. The Nile River flows for more than 1,600 miles without a tributary. The United States cotton crop forecast August 1, was 13,560,000,000 bales, 22,000 bales less than the forecast of July 16. The Atlantic Ocean is about 8,000 feet deep at 1,000 miles northwest of Ireland. MAN STORY "To feed him?" inquired Mr. Possum. "No, to feed yourself," answered Mr. Fox. "He never comes near those who eat plenty and keep plump." The next night as soon as it was dark enough for hunting Mr. Coon and Mr. Possum started out with big bags over their shoulders while Mr. Fox staved at home to dig a place in his collar for the winter stores. When the hunters returned the next morning and looked at the hole Mr. Fox huld made Mr. Possum remarked that it was deep enough to hold all three of them and a few others their size. "That is about what will happen unless you bring in enough food to fill it," said Mr. Fox in a solemn tone of voice. "A full storeroom is all that will keep old Hunger Wolf from the door. But of course you do not have to stay here, Mr. Possum. I am certain that your own soft bed will be far more comfortable than my poor house." Mr. Possum hastened to say that he was just joking. He knew perfectly well it would take a whole lot of food to keep away Hunger Wolf, and he was willing to do his share of the hunting. For many nights Mr. Coon and Mr. Possum worked and every morning they returned with full bags and added to their supplies. At last the deep hole in the cellar was filled with food. "Now we must finish storing wood," said Mr. Fox. "I have a bad spell of rheumatism. I am sorry to say, so you fellows will have to finish bringing it in. but I can manage to hobble about and cook our dinner." When spring came Mr. Coon and Mr. Possum ran off to their own homes but before they parted at the end of the path in the woods, Mr. Possum said: "I strikes me that Mr. Fox got the best of our winter arrangement and, he is by far the fattest of the three." "Test," replied Mr. Coon, "he always cooked the meals which he said was the hardest part of the work, but I noticed that he was never hungry when he came to the table. Next winter I shall watch for old Hunger Wolf from a tall tree and not from a home on the ground." Mr. Fox was laughing to himself as he stretched out in the sun by his door. "Well, I shall have to work all summer, I suppose," he said, "but I lived by my wits this past winter and I am a pretty slick looking animal, which goes to prove that I am a very clever creature, very clever, indeed."

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 9, 1925 The Law and the Mob— In Detroit, Michigan, the same law which defines a mob as being instru- mency of lawlessness has held eleven race people for first degree murder, all because two alleged units of a mob, said to be bent upon shattering the hopes and the home of a Negro who had exercised his constitutional rights by purchasing property upon a site which suited him best, were shot to death somehow, some- where, by alleged defenders of the home and the Constitutional rights of the colored tenant. The mob was Hell-bent upon a lawless errand. The police wing of the law was, as usual, too heavy for light work and too light, for heavy work. By precedent, police, sheriff and other manshiefs protection usually available to parties confronted by mobs (usually Negroes) is very, very thin; and colored people are, little by little, realizing that self-preservation is the first law of nature. Anyhow, the Law, which crabsily in the great City of Detroit to prevent the formation of a cowardly mob, failed equally in giving full and equal protection to the citizens of its Commonwealth. Aid in some way, two souls were prematurely given the password to the cemetery. Now, says the Law, this is murder in the first degree, which unlawful in this State, and its perpetrators must be duly punished. One of the deceased, says the Law, was an innocent bystander, bent upon a peaceful mission and within his full Constitutional rights was entitled to PROTECTION—or much, we presume, as the Negro tenant, buffeted and terrorized by the mob, unhampered by the Law. The Law also says that just one step by a mob looking to the consumption of an unlawful objective is ground for defense. The Law does not define just what that defense shall be That is a question for a jury. But a child of tender years just what defense eleven terrorized Negroes could, would, and should make when opposed by five thousand 'BRAVE' patriots who were trying to PROTECT their block from invasion by the unwelcome members of a proscribed race. The Law will decide the fate of these eleven "murderers" who tried to defend their lives and property. Who knows but that, like Loeh and Leopold and Harry, K. Thaw, they may have been insane; or that they as principals of the first degree, and accessaries before and after the fact, without just cause therefor, with felonious intent did intice the moll to their mids and there and then did want only to take the sacred lives of two of its most ardent members, against the peace and dignity of the State. Is a man's home no longer his castle? Has the full and equal protection of all the citizens' of the State and of the United States gone to the four wilds? Before jumping into the Atlantic Ocean, we will await the answer of the Law. Pullman Porters Organize— 'Lunty Harlem. New York, reports a tremendous drive for organization of the faithful Pullman porters; and in two weeks it is estimated that two thousand of these colorful railroad men have banded themselves together for the promotion of their "united work welfare. Similar drives. It is raid, are contemplated in six or eight other metropolitan areas, with the ultimate view of enrolling every Pullman porter, into a compact body for the purpose of being able better to bargain collectively. When some time ago, the Pullman Company appointed a special agent, C. Cornellus Webb, to perform "mediatory work" up and down the lines operating. Pullman cars, it was probably evident that no united petition or appeal could be forthcoming from the more than 20,000 train and Pullman porters, who had neither head nor tail to express their united wishes and desires. The unification of the Pullman porters is the answer to this need, in order that the wealthy Pullman Company can be made, to see itself as its employees see it. In all, there are approximately 186,000 Negro rail handies who are directly engaged in handling or safeguarding the transportation of persons or property over the lines of the various steam railway carriers of the United States. This total includes 97 telegraphers, as well as engineers, firemen, inspectors of way and structures, telegraph and telephone linemen, conductors, baggagemen and freight agents, switchmen and flagmen, foremen and overseers, bolter washers and engine hostlers, brakemen, laborers, and miscellaneous workers. Nevertheless, it is more than apparent that in none of their occupations, save that of straight Pullman porters and dining car waiters, does the Negro railway employee enjoy the merited fullness of his occupation in wages, advancement, and conditions of labor. There is no reason why, as public servants, the Negro railway hand should not be permitted to rise to the heights of the particular occupation which nplies. Collective bargaining is at least a start on the way to work endeavor, and it seems to us that the Pullman porters would do well to promote, as auxiliaries, such organization as could be formed of their brethren who are zealously working at other railway trades. This variant race of our, so necessarily dependent upon the sweat of its brow, must rise in its entirety upon an all-together basis. So long as stevedore or a household domestic is quelled in his work ambitions, just so long will the Race be overballasted with discouragement and apathy. To remove these motes is one of the jobs of organization. American Education Week- Hon. John T. Tigert, U. S. Commissioner of Education, has announced the promotion by the Bureau of which he is chief, of American Education Week. November 16 to 22, 1925, under the joint auspices of the National Education Association and the American Legion. The Commissioner has announced a splendid program and states in his announcements: "I am suggesting that additional emphasis be placed upon such phases of education as are being specifically stressed in our program this year. Among them are respect for authority, patriotism, better trained and better paid teachers, the improvement of rural schools, more adequately equipped school buildings, conservation of national resources and thrift, and health education." As affecting the Negro school student there are certain outstanding items which we desire briefly to emphasize as worthy of unstinted stimulation, both during and after American Education Week; (1) Improvement of Rural Schools; (2) Better Trained and Paid Teachers; (3) More Adequately Equipped Buildings; Connie Mack's Negro Masscots— Cornellus McGillendy, popularly known as Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia baseball team in the American League, which has been a strenuous penant contender this season, has added two colored boys to his staff, as mascots for his fast-traveling Athletics. This is the most radical move any major league manager has made in the innals of baseball, although one has forgotten, the affection manifested by the New York Giants at the bier of their deceased Negro trainer nor can the fair-mindedness of John J. McGraw be ignored when he said that he could pick a team of colored baseball players, which could defeat the penant winner in either major league. Connie Mack, however, has actually performed the impossible by conferring upon two little colored boys the unadulterated mascrophy of his team. Mascots, of course, whether black, brown or green, cannot change the playing qualities of any team. They can, however, slowly change the attitude of that part of the blundersome public which has been wont to feel that the Negro baseball world, like so many other colorful entities, must not aspire to have representatives on world championship returns. The spectacle of two Negro boys on Mack's bench might, through the years, develop into the reality of having a Petway, a Mendez, or a Charleston adorning some world's series bench in the far distant future, as an advocate of one hundred per cent baseball, first, and a reminder of any particular species of race last. Mr. McGilleyudd has set a fine example to the baseball world by, at least giving the race representation at the foot of the world baseball ladder. Too, he has demonstrated in a small matter the fairness which he has always demonstrated upon the diamond. May we sincerely hope that Philadelphia wins the championship, for then we would have miniature representation, as a starter, in the world's series; and the future could take care of itself. and (4) Greater Public Interest, through representation and through money allotments. The Negro school should be more sympathetically represented in the public offices which determine its livelihood and its directorate. Negroes should be appointed to public boards of education for the purpose of interpreting the peculiar needs of their school group to those who dispense funds and shape school courses. Discrimination in funds and school provisions is, too, a most beneficial check upon the aspiration of Negro school youth, to whom every public educational avenue and utility should be available upon the same terms as to other people. American educational methods and practices, as affected by public interest, have been too frequently influenced by voluntary and involuntary prejudice, upon the part of those whites who promote distinction, and upon the part of a few Negro educators and teachers who, for a lucrative job, will readily trade the public school rights of their constituents. This is an evil which has advanced ra- pidly during the past decade. In effect it fully matches the inferior rural schoola and poorly equipped buildings, the open result wherever separate systems for white and colored are maintained. The school student and the public are reciprocally accountable to each other; and the latter must not be allowed to shirk its duty as it has so frequently done in the years past. Zeal to "keep the Negro in his place" has no place in the public's program for its State, County or City educational plans; and it is up to the Negro parents and guardians of America to bring this fact to public notice at all times. American Education Week should mean more than a week of celebration to us and our group. It should be the occasion for pledging constructive aims and efforts toward the further emancipation of our Youth from the slough of ignorance. The Leak In The League— "The League of Nations, coddled net of the late President Woodrow Wilson and other Twentieth Century Utopians, has sprung a leak by revealing the startling and unwelcome truth that it is a defender of slavery. In fact, slavery is a legal institution in Abyssinia, a member of the League, and in two other countries, Hedjaz and Afghanistan, which, says the League's commission on entrance, "seem to be eligible for admission." So far as can be learned, the League has expressed no antipathy towards the barbaric practice of slavery; nor is that institution considered any blot upon the uplift status of a combination which loudly proclaims the lesson of love and calls upon the nations of the world to pledge themselves to Peace, Eternal Peace. While walking down the street of Peace the League of Nations pauses to admonish drug adicts and perilous trade economists. But Slavery Drivers? Never! As to them, the League of Nations, with a Utopian smile, blindly passes them by, like ostrich who sticks his head in the sand, and leaves his ponderous body for the Ghouls of Civilization's graveyard to Plunder. In the Receiving Line= "Don't you know, Mr. Camerman, there are too many people in the receiving line and too few who are unselfish enough to take a change giving up something," expostulated a grisceled sage from the Middle West, who, during his young life of seventy summers, had tried out everything from running a penny slot machine to underwriting an aerial corporation "What do you mean?" "Just this," answered the veteran with a dry smile: "Every time you go to a bank and pass a check for payment in the paying teller's window, it is necessary that at some time you shall have made a deposit. All going out and nothing coming in will soon make you a bad fellow at the bank, and likewise, will ruin your credit. You've got to give up something besides 'Much Obliged' every now and then, in order to be able to take out something." "Well, myhew, Negro banking is in its infancy," we replied, in an effort to assuage the veteran's feelings, which seemed to be assuming a ruffled attitude. "Yes," he snapped, "but Negro friendship is in its millennium, and it's still crowded with receivers and shy of givers—overflowing with erles of "Give Me" and short of "Here it is" announcements. Here is an epistle which comes to me regularly on the first of every month," the veteran exclaimed, as he held up a beautifully typed letter. "It's from Smith and Jones, Editors of The Podunk Monthly. As usual, they want a graphic and statistical analysis of the mortality of cabbage leaves, which they know I worked out over my midnight lamp. Sometimes they wire me, collect, and after they receive the stuff they publish it in a blaze of glory, forgetting all about the credit line, and the humble efforts which I expended in their behalf. And then, when I ask them for a few copies of the Podunk Monthly they always send me a "Cash-in-advance" slip, with a polite letter asking for an early remittance. "Probably they need the money, we ventured to suggest. "No doubt of that," responded the veteran. "So does Scribner, the Saturday Evening Post, and Collier. Weekly, which will at least enclose me a stamp when they want my stuff. "Oh, I tell you, Mr. Camerman, this receiving line of ours is as long as the Von Hindenberg Line, and it's up to us to permeate it with some of the spirit of 'Give as well as take.' No one believes in the David-and-Jonathan friendship any more than I do. But when the veneer is rubbed off and one finds that his brother is playing high finance with one's brain power, without yielding up anything himself, then it's high time to cut the cards right in the middle of the deck." Just then the door bell rang and the veteran hurried to the door, which was entered by a Western Union Tetergraph messenger. "Well, at least there are no charges on the telegram," remarked the veteran with a look of relief. "What?" he exclaimed, with a smile as he read: "At a meeting of the Board of Directors, this evening; it was voted, in view of your many courtesies and expert assistance at the time of formation, to tender you gratis a block of one hundred shares of stock, which is now yielding 30 per cent yearly dividends. Kindly wire acceptance, collect. Signed the Carefree Insurance Company." "Well new, veteran," we gasped—but the veteran had gone. His fast-flying feet were resounding down the sidewalk.
