Ku Klux Klan Is Responsible For Movement, It Is Said Bitter Race Feeling Is Engendered. The white people in seventeen cities of the United States have launched a segregation campaign against the Negroes, according to reports gathered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The wording in most of these new forms of segregation is, by agreement among property owners, not to se rent or lease to any person of "tican descent." Klan Held Responsible is just within the last few years the agreement form of resident institution has found fertile soil in hearts of the white people of Africa. It is the general belief of who have given the matter closer that the rapid rise of the Ku Klan in these cities is responsible for the spread of the segregation as. Instances where "hired" Klanakers have spent days among property owners spreading all kinds of propaganda against the Naziess to order to get the owners to can have been cited. Recent court decisions have given impulses to the movement. Playing Up Race Prejudice These Klan agents' chief stock in trade has been social equality. Intermarriage, consecration of property, etc. in one instance was reported that the Klan agent told the owner "keeping the Negro down," depended upon his signing the petition. This kind of stuff has even been taken to the judges on the bench for their consumption. Some Causes For Alarm Leaders of the race and colored people generally in the U. S. are beginning to become somewhat alarmed over the situation. The words of the poet: "Sure I must fight if I would reign. Increase my courage, Lord. have been the mainstay and comfort to a struggling people. Fights, physical combats and court fights have followed in the wake of these segregation attempts. Better Conditions. Sought Leaders among the race and those who have purchased property in the "forbidden land," declare that it is only an effort on the part of the colored people to improve their living conditions; is being maintained that it is the constitutional right of the citizen to buy and sell real estate without interference on the part of individuals or the state. Bitter Feeling Engendered This fight against the colored people has precipitated a bad racial felling between the colored and whites generally, which is looked upon with disfavor by many of the leading white people of the nation. No one, thus far, has come forward with a practical solution of the situation that seems to be acceptable by all parties directly concerned. U. Supreme Court One case, coming from the lower courts of the District of Columbia, is now before the United States Supreme Court. It is expected that a hearing will be given the case about the last of November or the first of December this year.

The St. Louis Argus KU KLUX RULE IS PREDICTED UNLESS AMERICA AWAKES Klan Turning From Attacks On Negroes, Jews And the Catholics To Sap Strength Of Government DISFRANCHISEMENT DANGER DEVELOPING Situation In East Is Growing Acute. Huge Racial And Religious Riots Are Likely To Result. SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Oct. 14—Whileo Americans live in a fool's paradise hedged about on all sides by prejudice and intolerance, the Ku Klux Klan enters the most threatening phase of its life. With business dosing over its own affairs and reformers arising with new shouts of "thou shalt not," the klan has become one of the most Jews and Negroes to sap the strength of American government, which it wants for itself. That was the burden of a renewed attack on the klan made here Thursday by Major Henry Fry, who four years ago left its ranks to fight it. Major Fry spoke before the Schenectady open forum under suspices of the Unitarian Laymap's lease. "Main Street" Rules Nation "In my opinion, the Ku Klux Klan has now entered into its most dangerous phase," he declared, "but before going into that I want to remind you of something that every student of political life in America must take into consideration. People in large cities, like Chicago and Chicago calling constanty at the crudities of Main street and the ignorance of Babbits, but as a matter of fact, the entire destiny of the United States lies in the hands of the people in small cities, towns and states, and when Mr. Babbit of Main street holds out the political hoop, Mr. Know-It-All from Broadway must jump through hoop whether he wants to or not. This is so because the constitution grants citizens of small states a powerful weapon, Major Fry explained, in the right to amend the constitution by a three-quarter vote of states. "Disfranchisement Looms" "Now here is what is going to happen in this country unless business men awake from their slumbers," he said. "The klan situation in eastern industrial sections is becoming more acute. As the klan grows stronger among businessmen, they are going to see a gigantic racial and religious riot that may tear industry to shreds. The small states that control the constitutional amendments are likely to start a movement to amend the constitution of the United States, disfranchising Catholics, Jews and Negroes. And if this happens—you may draw your own conclusions." WORKMAN ELECTROCUTED LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 14—A corner's guy investigating the death of Harry Hickman, 30 year old mechanic, at the East Slaucon avenue branch of the Southern California Iron and Steel plant, pennounced the death due to accident. Hickman is believed to have stumbled and fell into an electric generator. He was dead when workman found him near one of the huge dynamos. His body was severely burned. Hickman was a skilled mechanic. He had been employed at the Southern California Iron and Steel Company for a number of years. Though his land and its inhabitants are under the sovereignty of Great Britain, the natives have been left free to rule themselves after their own fashion, matters of taxes, law and education alone, receiving outside direction; They are a peace-loving and somewhat poetic people.

DUKE BENEFACTOR OF RACE IS DEAD Born In Log Cabin, Built Up Gigantic Industry. Application And "Stick-to-ity" Secret Of Success. WAS PHILANTHROPIST Gave $40,000,000 For Educational And Public Institutions. Remembered Neighbors In His Gifts. NEW YORK, Oct. 14 — James Buchanan Duke, formerly president of the American Tobacco Company, one of the nation's leading philanthropists, died, of bronchial pneumonia at his Fifth avenue residence Saturday. Duke was not only well known among the white race for his magnanimity in lending financial aid to their institutions, but he was also widely known as a helper of the colored race and its institutions. His gifts to colored educational institutions run up to millions. He did much to elevate the facilities for the learning of the "Auto Make" Man "The owner of the white palace on the Northeast corner of Fifth avenue and Seventy-eight street, ross from-much poverty that he is often called "one of the last of the log cabin successes of American life." He was born in 1857 on the hill above the river and his brothers started the great tobacco industry through which he built up his vast wealth, which is estimated at from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000. He owns a 3000 nook park around his home in Durham. Duke is survived by a daughter, Lee Holt Duke and an older brother Benjamin. Secret of Success "I have succeeded in business not because I have more natural ability than many people who have not succeeded, but because I have applied myself harder and stuck to it longer. I know plenty of people who have failed to succeed in anything who have more brains than the ones that lacked application and determination. "I had confidence in myself. I said to myself, 'If John D. Rockefeller can do what he is doing in oil, why should I not do it in tooboe?' I resolved from the time I was a mere lad to do a big business. I loved business better than anything else. I worked from early morning to leave on at night and glad when morning came so that I could get at it again. Any young man with common intelligence can succeed, if he is willing to apply himself. Superior brains are not necessary." Gave $40,000,000 Mr. Duke's gift of $40,000,000 is the largest benefaction ever made at one time by a single person excepting one man. Of the best that percent was assigned to go to Negro and white orphans in North and South Carolina, and four percent to Johnson C. Smith University, a Colored Institution of Charlotte. In announcing his gift, Mr. Duke said that the $40,000,000 would include, among other securities, approximately three-fourths of the money in the southern Power System. His reason for establishing the fund was thus expressed at the time: "I don't believe that a college education does a man much good in business, except for the personal satisfaction it gives him. But when you have a great community growing like the Carolinas, you've got to have five kinds of leaders whose minds are trained. The first is preachers, the second is teachers, the third is lawyers, the fourth is chemists and engineers, and the fifth is doctors." HONOR STREET SWEEPER NEW YORK, Oct. 14- For eighteen years Charles A. Small, veteran street cleaner, swept his way nightly down Broadway, from Seventy-second to Fifty-ninth street. For eighteen years he did his job, and did it well, with an occasional smile or nuded from passersby, and never a thought of reward. Today he has a glistening gold medal and a shiny gold fountain as a reminder that meritocratic service is recognized in all walks of life. The medal was presented to him by David Robinson, president of the Downtown League and chairman of the Columbus Circle League. SANE PERSONS IN ASYLUM WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. "Witnesses before the District of Columbia federal grand jury testified that there are many persons now confined in St. Elizabeth's, a government hospital for the insane, "who are not now and who never were insane." It is charmed that these persons were sent to the hospital for ulceration motives. More than 1,000 war veterans are confined in this institution. The hospital houses 4,400 patients, and the report infers that they are packed in like sardines. All insects have six legs, and their bodies are divided into three parts: spiders have eight legs and are not insects, but belong to the order Arachnida. Governor Orders Investigation Of Whipping Post GREENVILLE, N. C. Oct. 11—Acting upon instructions from Governor A. W. McCain, Secretary Jesse Davis was in Greenville Tuesday afternoon enroute to Farmville to make a rigid investigation of the recent flagger administered to Dr. S. J. B. Collins, a physician at that place, by a hooded gang. Dr. Collins, who is a British subject, was said to have been instructed by his assistants to leave the town but instead he appealed to the British Wednesday. Solicitor Davis received a message from the vice consulate in Wilmington urging a thorough investigation. According to rumors dropped here and there by whites, known to be members of the Ku Klux Klan, it is claimed that Dr. Collins goes about among his Negro friends and in fact wherever possible and makes many expressions of an insulting nature with reference to the recent Ku Klux Klan demonstrations staged at Farmville. The whites claim that on several occasions Dr. Collins has made public speeches in Negro schools and elsewhere made efforts to fill the minds of Negroes here with ideas against the klan and of social equality between the white and Negro races. It is said that the whites here declare that they will not stand for such impudence on the part of any Negro, who is not even a good citizen of this county, trying to put such foolish notions in the heads of the good Negroes of this vicinity. Such foolishness will bring on disgraceful clashes between the races. It is for the good of the community that such agitators as Dr. Collins be gotten rid of. MQ. CITIES' POPULATION WASHINGTON.

WITH GOVERNOR Langston Harrison, Constable of the Fourth District, and Ernest Patillo, a member of the Republican State Committee from the Twelfth District and a Deputy Constable, made a trip to Jefferson City last week and report a pleasant conference with Governor Baker. The conferences are quite reluctant to tell what the Governor said, but it is understood that the Governor's deepest concern just now seems to be the nominating and election of Senator Williams. The visitors told the Governor about certain conditions in their district, citing that nothing had been done by the State administration for the Negroes. Police officers were also discussed with the Governor. Reference was made of the so-called lily-white meetings throughout the state in the interest of Senator Williams where no Negroes were involved. C. G. Williams joined Patillo and Harrison in the conference which was held at the Governor's mansion. Little is known of what "C. G." said except to nod both ways to whatever was being said.

Hidden stars and visionary clouds. Lilies, white, that the upon the lake Glenaird swell upon the rippling swells. Perfuming the air, like ghost they dwell— Phantoms of the night. Ily winged things Searching far into the dull grey gloom Restless as the winds, that fan the palms Fevered to be ever in the sky; Jewelled music floats along the bay, Dreamy, tasting of the Orchid. Passion put into the cestasy of some weird throbbing son. And lond it swells, gress the star- to take the rushes as they bend from blade to side; And then it fades into the fly's breast. Where all is hushed—the coulds unfold their wings. And speed away into the slumbrous night, Leaving naught but a lovely memory. -Josephine Upton. Alcha.

And one year old Samile Hewan, a little Nite- gro boy, who sits day after day with a silver tube down his throat, wishing he could go to school and learn like the rest of the kids he sees run- ming and running by his windows. For six years, little Sammy has been a ward of the Children's Aid Society, one of the agencies of the Community Fund. He is in an excellent foster home, selected by the Society, and counts himself in that respect, even though he cannot attend school and must cut through a tube instead of like a regular fellow. When only three, Sammy are some lye one day. Hence, the tale in his thief. The tissues are healing, but it must be careful. He did get some "book learning" from his foster brother, who was unhulky killed recently. Now the Society is booking for a teacher for Sammy twice a week. They are willing to pay a nominal sum for such service, and Sammy sure hopes they hurry and find him. He has his books all ready to begin. Sammy is only one of the many children under care of the Children's Aid Society, for which the Community Fund will seek contributions during its annual drive November 13 to 23, inclusive. KISMET CAST SELECTED WITH UNUSUAL CARE 'In the selection of the characters for the fourth annual Urban League play, "KISMET," the big oriental play to be given at the Odeon Theatre, November 6th, unusual care has been taken to secure persons who had special qualifications for the parts to be played, and in each instance the director was extremely fortunate in finding persons for whom each part seemed to be made to order. It is not often that any play is rendered by a company, practically all of whom are stars, as is the case with "Kismet," in which the idea of the quality of players who are to appear in this wonderful production, the names of a few of the principal characters have been made public. The leading character, Hajj, the Beggar and Thief of Bagdad, and around whom the play is built will be played by Robert P. Waltz. Playing opposite Mr. Watts, will be Mrs. Pernia Alexander Phillips, in the part of Mahm, the beautiful man of Haraj, who displayed remarkable talent and the public is due to get some unusual thrills out of the way if which she handles all the difficult situations of the play. Mrs. Chas. H. Phillippe Jr., as Kui-El Kalub, the wife of wives of Manusur Miss Ann Cooper as Miskah, Mrs. S. P. Stafford, as Caljir, Mrs. S. Cannon, as Mahmud, the last female roles. J. S. Thomas, as Jawan, the Shiek: Thomas Jefferson, as Mansur, the Wazir; Christopher Gordon, as The Caliph: Will Alexander, as Nazir; Dr. J. J. Peters, as Zayd, Maurice A. Grant, as Amuru, Marcus Perkins, as Kasim; J. L. Melcome as Afhe; F. D. Ramsey, as Kafur; John Davies, as the Egyptian Anu, and the Arabian Mahmud, all show indications of outshining many of the professionals who were cast in those parts when it was played on Broadway. A complete list of the east, will be published later. In addition to the characters in the play proner. Ernest L. Harris, Jr. W. H. Huffman, and Mrs. Zole Cole Evans play the role of theologiae Mrs. Evans will arrange the music for the orchestra.

WILLS SHOWS GREAT FORM IN DETROIT BOUT Boxes Flashy Four Rounds With The "Joplin Ghost" At An American Legion Exhibition DETRIUM to a rapidly house topdered Harry Wills, giant Negro heavyweight and outstanding challenger for Jack Dempsey's title, a rousing reception when he crawled through the ropes for his four round exhibition at the arena Garden Friday night and just as many accorded Paddy Mullinia venerable manager of the Black Panther, a like ovation when he finally was induced to be introduced to the crowd. The Wills exhibition was the headline attraction of the show sponsored by the American Legion. The main event of the supporting card, was a match between Tommy Burns, of Detroit and Joe Lohman, of Toledo. Wills Shows Speed Wills, 215 pounds of bone and muscle stepped, around the ring like a lightweight. His speed was surprising, his boxing ability great or than displayed by any heavyweight that ever showed in Detroit, and his condition excellent in view of the fact that he has had no real fights of recent date. Incidentally, Jeff Clark, the "Jopin Ghost" of other days, was also in the ring, but Wills would have made an equally good impression had he been shadow boxing. Clark was in there catching during the four rounds and the other fellow inside the ropes was Sam Hennessy, whose duties during the exhibition were confined to ambiling around the ring. Mike McNulty was in Wills' corner, but retained his composure much better than when Tommy Lee and Tommy Burns were throwing and catching punches. Mike's duties were nullified in the main event, however, since Wills needed no instructions. Objection of Jack Dempsey to the proposed heavyweight fight in Newark, New Jersey, between Harry Wills and Floyd Johnson on Oct. 26 will not alter the arrangements made Tuesday, Paddy Mullins announced today. Although the heavyweight champion has said he understood that Wills' would not engage in any bouts before their anticipated title. battle next year, Mullins said, that Floyd Fitzsimmons, who signed Dempsey and Wills, knew the latter intended to box this month for the National Sportsman's Club of Newark. He said he would so write Dempsey. Wills, meanwhile, will proceed to get in shape for Johnson, he added.

Jefferson Ave. Between Pine and Olive T.18 The summer aggregation, renowned from the victorious season of '24 inaugurates her season on Saturday, October 17, when she takes on the eleven from St. Charles warriors. The Summer huskars have been hard workers for their faithful coach, Mr W. H. J. Beckett. The team starts with two beginners, who are sure to make good. Chas. Blackshair, who steps in the position vacated by Jackson Bracy, the star tackle of last year's eleven and Clifton Horn, the "heavy" who comes to fill the shoes left by Casey Quentin, soldier, boy tackle on the right side. Higginsbotham, who al-ternated in tackle last year is also missed. The end hold for two years by Comer Cox is indeed somewhat diminished and it is the hope of all that one of the two rivals, William White and Claude Gordon of last year's scrubs will, all this gap, White although small is capable because of his speed and fighting spirit while Gordon, who is likely to win the end, has showed up well. The last gap to fill is that of guard, left vacant by Gus Ewing, who held it for three years. Percy Robinson, the most promising at all the scrubs last year and who would most like to step in the position has failed to come out, so that place is still in question. Coach Beckett has many athletes to choose from. Michael Polk, center of last year's scrubs, is among them. among the line remains the same. Rankin, the center, Al Wilson; guard, Captain McDuff, end. Among the scubs, one etlands out—Bernett, Rhodes, who had the opportunity to play in three games last year in guard. The entire scrub team has worked hard and have given the regulars some hard competition. The business Manager, Mr. G. Evans has presented the schedule for the season.

High School football team defeated Columbia High. 12-0. The Lincoln Tigers plunged the line for two-touch downs in the last quarter of the game. Casey, the big left bait for Lincoln, was directly responsible for both scores. He gained at, will through the line, and but for fumbles, the score would have been much larger. Captain Norman, Pointdexter, Warren and North starred for Lincoln on defense and Cayce King and Johnson starred on offense. Columbia's team was fast and light but she failed to skirt Lincoln out or gain them the line; the nerd, attack was not effective and she was held in midfield most of the game, and was forced to resort to the kicking game.

Tuskegee Downs Morris Brown TUSKEGEE, Ala., Oct. 10.—In its first Conference game, played in the Alumni Athletic Bowl, here today, the Tuskegee Tigers defeated the Morris Brown Panthers 19 to 0, and made its first claim to championship honors. The Tuskegee team showed remarkable improvement since its scoreless tie with the 24th U. S. Infantry on September 26. The line held, the back-field worked with marked precision, and there was a noticeable improvement in the running blocking and inference of the team as a whole. HOWARD DEFEATS LIVINGSTONE WASHINGTON, D. C.—Defeating the much toured Livingstone College aggregation of Sallisbury, N. C., in a fast and exciting game before a large crowd on the University campus, the Howard "Bisons," won their second consecutive victory of the season by a score of 21 to 9. The aspiring "tarheelers" had just left the South with laurels dangling about them on account of the 18 to 0 victory over Hampton Institute, of Hampton, Virginia, and had boasted that they would uphold the gridiron honor of the South by scoring on the "Blue and White" boys of the National Capital. Howard University Freshmen Defeat Storer College, 13.6 WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 9.—The Howard University Freshmen entertained the eleven representing Storer College of Harper's Ferry, W. V., on the University Campus, Friday afternoon, October 9th, this being the first game of the Howard Freshmen. The "frost outclassed" the boys from West Virginia in nearly every department of the game. The ability of the freshmen to hit the line is shown by fourteen (14) first downs to three by Storer College. ville College by 6.0 KNOXVILLE. Tennessee. Oct. 11.—The Knoxville College Bulldogs journeyed to Atlanta University, and were edged out by a 6.0 decibel. That is the outside story but let the inside story be heard. A U.'s second string backfield started, but the fracas was too much after the first three downs and they were cast out. A U. made her lone tally in the last eight minutes of play as a result of a fluke. K. C. made eight flushes and Atlanta two. Many times, K. C. was in within scoring distance, once only nine yards to go and first down, but was denied by fumbles. The Bulldogs completed the only passes of the game. The Bulldog line was like a Rock of Glbraltar. Many times it broke thru and smeared, the Crimson, backs for losses. VIRGINIA BEMINARY WJNS CLOSE, BATTLE, FRQM HAMPTON By Thomas W. Young. LYNCHBURG, Va., Oct. 11—Defying the unpleasant stare of what appeared to be a scoreless game, the Seminary Deacons came back in the final period of their encounter here today with Hampton Institute and with a place kick secured the single score of the afternoon. Captain Melvin Whedbee piloted his faithful warriors through the storm and at the end of the game presented them with a highly coveted reward—one which came by the singular accuracy of Brown's toe. Hampton had kicked out to her own 35-yard line. Whedbee signalled for a fair catch. Only three minutes remaining for play and Whedbee elected to attempt a place kick on which he caught the ball. This was Seminary's last hope for a victory; action then counted tremendously toward the outcome of the battle. Brown drew back a bit, limbered up his leg, and sent the pigskin twirling into the air. Each turn it made in its course spelled grim defeat for the Seasiders, and when it sank behind the center of the goal posts the KYA. Candful of Hampton supporters saw their last spark of hope die away. The final score was 3-0. MOREHOUSE STOPS N. C.

(Special)—The publishers have just delivered the new History of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church by the Rt. Rev. Hubas Henry Phillips, D. D. LL. D. of this city and bishop of the third Episcopal district. The history first published in 1898, while in the ministerial ranks and editor of the Christian Index, the official organ of the Church, comprised the rise, organization and subsequent development of the church from 1870. From 1808 until now the second volume records all the outstanding events leading up to the present status of this remarkable church. Both volumes are combined in eight hundred pages. Bishop Phillips gives a glowing account of the bishop question, which explains the New election of bishops from 1873 to 1891 and again from 1894 to 1902. This issue finally settled at the St. Louis General Conference in 1922 is indeed interesting and absorbing matter. The church and its relations to the world problems, its unprecedented educational activity; the spread of the church to nearly every state in the union and foreign fields; the question of organic union with Methodist bodies form some of the telling observations of the author, who maintains a high degree of knowledge about the book, stands. Besson writes a ripe scholar, an eloquent writer and a keen student of Methodism and its problems. It is indulged a distinctions to the literary triumphs of the Church and Race. 1000 MEN WANTED 1000 men to attend First Baptist Church Sunday, October 18 Men's Day will be observed at 1st Baptist Church with appropriate exercises.

"I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. When M. Callaux, the French Finance Minister, ledued, in this country to discuss the funding of France's debt, Governor Blaine, of Wisconsin, wired President Coolidge a long telegram, demanding the President to call a halt of the war between France and the Riffs. Governor Blaine stated that France was carrying on "ruthless warfare" and should be stopped "in the name of humanity and decency." Governor Blaine would have-Untle Sam call the hand of France" for he said: "The ruthless warfare that France is making on the mountain folks of Morocco, in the killing of innocent, women and children, is nothing short of harbors." These Riffs, for whom Governor Blaine is so solicitous, are Negro people and we appreciate the Governor's interest in humanity. However, the Negro people of this country are suffering terribly, the Ku Klux Klan and other lawless agencies, who make "ruthless warfare" on them. Governor Blaine said that France was using a fleet of sixteen airplanes to drop tons of high explosives on the homes of innocent men, women and children. The Negroes of Tulsa, Oklahoma, U. S. A. can testify to the fact that airplanes were used in the burning of their property, and the massacre that followed. The bombing of homes in the various cities of this country; along with the lynchings and burnings at the stake of human beings have filled the Negroes of this country with a strong desire for relief and since Governor Blaine has set the precedent of calling a half of foreign countries, when they impose on innocent men, women and children, they are praying that some foreign power, with sufficient prestige to be heard, would demand a halt of the Ku Klux Klan and other lawless elements in this country that harrass and murder innocent men, women and children in these United States. The terrible conditions confronting the Negro creates within him the longing for relief. He is not particular from what source it comes, we want relief at all time.

The courts therefore the Negro suspect is alw Jury said further that the condition active and social welfare organization down the line, and add that the need g is great. This condition is really reported. Therefore, the challen and act quickly. The recent report of the Grand Jury in which that body viewed with some alarm the fact that there are more Negroes in the city jail than whites, to our mind, is of official indictment against the others of the law in this city. There is no reasonable reason whatever to justify the fact that more colored are in the city jail than whites, when we take into consideration that the Negroes comprise about one tenth of the city's population. No same person will think for a minute that the Negroes commit ten times more crimes than the whites in this or any community where the population of both races is nearly equal. The statement made by the Grand Jury in this case not only reflects on the Negroes, but it is a strong indictment against those who have the law in their hands. It shows that the Negroes do not get justice at the hands of the law. The police, as a rule, find it easy to fasten crime on a Negro suspect. The prosecution finds it easy to convict, for lack of defense. The courts must sentence some one, and therefore the Negro suspect is always before the courts. The Grand Jury said further that the condition calls for action on the part of civic and social welfare organizations. We hereby press the word down the line, and add that the need for somebody to do something is great. This condition is really worse than has generally been reported. Therefore, the challenge is to those agencies to act and act quickly. A VISIT TO THE GOVERNOR have a deal more confidence in the V. Langston Harrison to the Governor who allowed C. G.

We would have a deal more confidence in the visit of Messrs. E. Patilho and Bangston Harrison to the Governor's office a few days ago had they not allowed C. G. Williams to act as a tail to their kite on that occasion. We presume that C. G. is now "grinning up his sleeves," thinking that whenever any of the Negroes want to set Governor Baker, they must come to Jefferson City and see "C. G." first. He is quite climbing in that he always goes along and acts as an apologist for the shortcomings of the law and seems perfectly at home to act as a kind of go-between in an apologetical way. He generally carries "water on both shoulders," and unless you know the man you can't tell which side he is on. As we have said before, we now repeat, that C. G.

We are not ready yet to fall over ourselves over the speech that President Cochidge made at Omaha last week, to the American Legion. We are still wondering if the President wasn't just diplomatic enough to say just enough to make most of us think he said what we wanted him to say. Why, some of the editors remind us of the happy father who interprets every "bar, bar" of the year-old baby-to mean "pa-pa." If, as some of the newspapers put it, every lynching that occurs in the U. S., is a blot on the fair escutcheon of the state and nation, it would seem, judging from the record in lynching that has been done in these United States during the past 30 years, there ought not to be a white spot on the escutcheon. It should be a mass of black spots. We hope the Mexican government will be able to collect the $50,000 from the State of Colorado for a lynching which occurred in that state some years ago, the victim being a Mexicaq. It rather seems a pity that some semi-savage government hasn't the power to demand indivinity of Uncle Sam for the annual lynching roll made up mostly of Negroes in this country. They call it white mule because it's usually associated with the jack. You don't have to believe in the monkey theory, but our political parties seem to bear some relation to elephants, donkeys and bull moose. THE ST.

The Power of Advertising Nerity is good advertising copy is written in a constructive vein, from which it derives one of its great sources of power. Truth is another great virtue of advertising; and if we were called upon to name a third, we might suggest that clarity of expression combined with concluding statement make up the composite third quality of power. Lastly, advertising serves the legitimate needs of trade and commerce not surpassed by any other factor. Thus is the power of advertising. What Is True Advertising? To the buying public, true advertising is the key of knowledge that unlocks the stores of golden opportunity; to the business man, it is his main connecting link between the goods and service he has to offer and the realization of the desires, and floats that prompted his entrance into an honest business. No true advertising can be more; none should be less. WANTS STATEMENT CORRECTED Editor St. Louis Argus, Dear Sir: I have observed from newpaper publications that the St. Louis Under- writers' Corporation has completed negotiations for the purchase of the Standard Life Insurance Company. I noticed also that among the list of officers my name appears as counsel for the company, which would imply that I counseled the officers and di- rectors in the consummation of the deal. This, of course, is an error on the part of the author of the article and should be corrected. At the time the deal was consummated I had been out of the city for about a week. It seems that the name of the present counsel was overlooked and mine used, as I formerly was counsel of the corporation. I shall appreciate a correction of this. Monkeys chatter and say nothing, which only goes to back up Darwin. By GORDON H. SIMPSON Executive Secretary, Urban League of St. Louis "REAPING THE HARVEST" During the past two months practically every large industrial center in the north where Negroes have migrated in numbers have received orders through Employment Offices, Chambers of Commerce, and other agencies for Negroes to return south as cotton pickers. St. Louis has been visited by several representatives—of cotton growing interests in Mississippi, Arkansas and Southeast Missouri, Wages as high as $1.50 per hundred were offered, together with "security" of person and property of the prospective workers. Several railroads conducted cheap excursions to points south with the usual advertisements of "First class equipment," "Seats for everybody," "Tickets good only in chair cars and coaches." It is rummered that these excursions were sponsored by cotton growing interests in the south. The response to this Macedonian city of "Come over and help us" has been rather dispointing. Relatably few Negroes from St. Louis have returned to the south for the cotton harvests. In fact, there has been a decided lack of interest and enthusiasm for such a move. Except on the part of some few who have not adjusted themselves to urban life. In the east of Southeast Missouri, where in the past three years cotton growing has become a decided success, there is difficulty in attracting Negro workers because of the dynamiting of homes and other persecution in that section. A call came from Mound Bayon, Miss, an exclusively Negro town, but unfortunately cotton growing interests in this section will suffer with other parts of the south, because of the conditions which have brought about the attitude of the average Negro worker not to return to the south. Sections of the south are now reaping the harvest of injustice, discrimination, jim crow laws, lynchings and mob violence, the crop of which has been sown for decades. The present situations touch the purse strings of the interests which control conditions in many southern communities. Perhaps out of the experience, of this will come a larger beginning of a New Day in the South where injustice, equal opportunities, and a fair return for labor, and a higher premium upon human life where that life happens to be tinged with colored blood, will arise. Certainly there is the hand writing on the wall and the lesion should not be forgotten. Hundreds of thousands of dollars may be lost to the south and to the country if the cotton crop is not all harvested, but dear as the price is, it is as nothing when compared to the human cost to Negroes in the conditions which caused a mass movement toward the north. The migration may be likened to the journey of the Children of Israel to the Promised Land which brought to them a new day, larger opportunities and more abundant life. There is a great human wastage in the migration, but perhaps the human costs are not as small as compared with the safety and security of life and property of many migrants. The challenge in this whole situation is to our workers to fit themselves to the best of their ability for the work which is theirs in the northern industries in order to open up the same opportunities for thousands more who will migrate from the south and thereby indirectly better conditions for those of us who remain in the south land. ALLEGED RIOTS QUELLED BY NEW YORK POLICE ALLEGED RIOTS QUELLED BY NEW YORK POLICE Preston News Service NEW YORK, Oct. 14—According to the police two rols in upper Manhattan were quelled Thursday by police engaged in arresting two offenders. A mob intent on lynching the alleged attacker of a white woman was dispersed by police in upper Lexington avenue; while in Harlem a mob was repelled from rescuing a prisoner from the police. The mob in Manhattan was composed of about a thousand men and women who had beaten and attempted to lynch William Mack; who was found in a hall way in a compromising position with a white woman. It is said that the mob in Harlem was composed of about 100 Negroes, which tried to take a prisoner from policeman. MEMPHIS, Penn.

PART TWO Has Politics For Colored Discussion By Leaders In W The Motion Has Been Having A L Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., O. 13, 14—They do not vote in Washington, but here, more than any other city in America, the people keep in touch with the public pulse heat, politically. The other day, a small group of "philosophers" were standing on the corner of Fourteenth and You streets, near a cigar store. They were discussing the latest address of President Coolidge in Omaha. One of them said: "It sound; very good, but it would have sounded better three weeks ago." Another remarked: "It would have sounded much better if he had used his influence to stop the Klux from parading down Pennsylvania avenue." He continued: "I didn't see that gang of marauders parading, but I did see a picture of them. The picture was taken from that popular location at the head of the avenue, near the treasury building. In the background was the capitol of the nation, in the foreground were thousands of hooded Klux. My mind went back to other parades on Pennsylvania avenue. I thought of the Grand Review, at the close of the Civil War, and the marching of the "Boys in Blue" for three or more days down that thoroughfare. What a travesty: what a contrast! Some of them must have turned over in their graves. "Do you think 'Teddy Roosevelt' would have allowed such a description of the Avenue? Not on your life!" "Teddy' would have defied them to come within gun shot of the avenue with their damned night gowns!". Then the talk drifted to the American Negro's present day position in national politics. "Our present day position," said one. "is so unintentionally senile and weak that it ought to make every 'black face hide in shame' and millions of whites." he added. They spoke with feeling of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson. They gave him credit for sincerity of purpose in the face of overwhelming odds. They talked of Robert R. Church, Perry W. Howard, Charles Mitchell, Robert L. Vaum, and William Clarence Matthews of Boston. They assigned each one a place in the body politic, but they felt that their positions are far from that to which a group of 15,000,000 is entitled. "Clarence Matthews, because of his activity in the last election, his selectin by Chairman Butler to guide the destinies of the racial group in the campaign, should be a dominant figure at this time. If politics means organization, Matthews ought to be busy 'every day in working out situations of racial advancement.

I'd be happy to see just seven of them functioning." That of course, brought a mery laugh of sympathetic chagrin—for Matthews. "They shouldn't put Matthews, and the fellows who worked with him, on the detainment the way they are on these matters of political betterment," he added. They then discussed sgregation in the departments, the lack of appointments since the beginning of the administration; the growing restlessness of the people; the election of young "Bob" LaFollette, despite the open denunciation of Chairman Butler, the continuance of disfranchisement in the South, the Michigan and Georgia lynchings, and the indifference of Congress to matters of human rights. They talked of the approaching elections of 1926, and particularly the election of United States Senators in close states of the North. They called Senators by name, in many of these states, and showed how they have lodged issues, and played to the gallery. The traffic policeman in the center of the street kept blowing his whistle and twisting his "Stop" and "Go" sign. This little philosophical group it seems, was quite unconcerned about stepping their talk, and they felt that they had no better place to go right than where they were assembled in the ancient and honorable game of painting. With slight variations, they were the ocular and audible examples of thus of thousands of Colored Americans, "talking politics over" in every section of the country, barbershops, clubs, schools, offices, homes, and what not. Someone finally asked: "Has you policies adjourned with us?" The reply was racially type al, and it broke up the "meetin!." "If it isn't adjourned, the motion has been tabled and we're having a long recess." CHARGES THAT HER HUSBAND IS A WOMAN Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y.

The announcement of this selection was made here in both daily papers, morning and afternoon of this week. The appointe has worked in every campaign put on by the Chest, even before the various agencies got together to make one organization. Then too, he was Chairman of the Campaign Committee when the drive was put on by Nashville citizens to claim the Rosenyield Fund. It was a drive for the Y. M. C. A., at which time $40,000.00 was subscribed by Nashville Nogres for the work later on. He was made Chairman of the Committee of Management of the Colored "Y" serving for nine years in that position. Then, when the colored people of Nashville took over the Y. M. C. A. property and formed a separate organization with a State Charter, he was named as one of the Board of Directors and is Secretary of the Corporation. Last fall in the Community Chest drive he acted as Secretary. His selection as Chairman of the Community Chest Drive this year, came as a surprise to his friends who insisted that he would not decline, notwithstanding, the many duties he is performing and positions he is already holding.

The official returns from 86 conferences received by Dr. R. J. Wade, secretary of the general conference, give a total conference vote in favor of unification of 8,297, and against 504, and the lay electoral votes tands 5,433 in favor and 112 against. There are 49 conferences to be heard from. If the final vote from the two churches is in favor of unification, the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will authorize an adjourned session of its general conference to meet next May with the regular conference session of the Methodist Episcopal church south, for the purpose of organizing the united churches. Unification would heal the breach which began at the general conference in New York city in 1844. HOOSIT? By Robert P. Edwards Associated Negro Press 27.

IMPORTANCE STRESSED A Warning Of Incongruous Conditions In Educational System To Be Broad- WASHINGTON, D. C. Coolidge's statement in his publication for National Education Week that "full provision has not yet been made through the country for education of either elementary, secondary or high grade," will be the keynote in a nationalade campaign to center the eyes of the public upon the needs of the schools during the week of Nov. 16-22. Educational civic, social and religious organizations which have been called upon by the President to unite in obtaining observance of the week in every sextino of the country, from the metropolos of New York to the most remote villages of the west, are already planning programs for observance. See Needs The two outstanding problems as stressed in the Presidential proclamation are the inefficiency of the rural school system and the crowded condition of many city high schools which restricts to half-time attendance. High schools have evidenced extraordinary growth in recent years, but "they have not kept pace with the demand for instruction," while in outlying districts such schools are "frequently insufficient in number or inadequate in quality," according to President Coolidge. "In higher education the possibilities of existing institutions have been reached and it is essential that their facilities be extended or that junior colleges in considerable numbers be established," said the president. Work On Program His warning that such conditions leave no room for complacency over the national educational system will be broadcast far and wide in an effort to bring American citizens to a realization that schools are the bulwark of the Republic; that if they fail to achieve their highest field of usefulness to its future citizens, the Nation suffers economically and socially. The National Education Association and other educational groups are hard at work on a program which, it is expected, will bring from the observance of Education Week positive results in better schools. WOMAN DROPS DEAD Associated Negro Press CHENSTER, S. C., Oct. 14.-Mrs. Battie Gregory dropped dead Tues. day while sitting on her porch. ERMINE C. BUSH Torch Of Segregation Is Flaming In All Sections Efforts Of Negroes All Over America To Improve Their Housing And School Conditions Are Drawing Protests From Certain Class Of Whites Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, Oct. 14—The subject of Negro Segregation has become the big issue before the "American people, dealing with matters racial. The intensity of the white program at this time has brought the subject to the fore as never before. Spreading in all directions like the traditional chestnut tree, there is no point of the compass free from the incursion of the virus, of hate. Strange, as it may seem. White and Black people are one in the annual meeting of his organization. In Nassville, Teum, the Klux have sought to intimidate the members of a Greek Letter College fraternity, by purchasing a chapter home, by burning a cross in front of it, and sending notes of warning. In Cinchannati, Ohio, "indignant" white citizens, incensed at a Negro buying a home in an exclusive neighborhood, set fire to the furniture of a family moving in a house, only to discover that the furniture and house belonged not to colored but to white. There are white people who believe there should be no segregation; and there are black people who have no objection to it. This is true in the matters of homes, schools and public places. It is a minority of whites who oppose segregation; and it is a minority of blacks who favor it. The majority of whites either favor it are indifferent to the subject. Those of the whites who are indifferent either have either subjects which they regard as more important to think about or else the issue has not yet succeeded in impressing them sufficiently to form an opinion. Whites who are busy at favoring segregation are militant, aggressive, conscious, and elastically. They are stepping at nothing in expression or act to "keep the Negro in his place." They can, and do, raise a hundred thousand dollars to carry on their propaganda of hate quicker than the black who oppose it and suffer by it can, or do, raise one hundred dollars. The Associated Negro Press is familiar with a specific instance of this in the Middle West. The whites had one meeting on housing segregation and check books were turned over to the chairman with signatures and blank spaces to be filled in by him. The colored people had three meetings, and while there was considerable talk of what must be done, at no time did anyone suggest raising a "fund for expense." Disease Spreads Faster than a Remedy New York continues to back up Postman Brown in Staten Island. But his is not an isolated case. There are many other places in New York at this time where there are mumblings and grumblings about the approach of the elony hood citizens of America. New York is a very busy place, and if has little time in the whirl of existence to give much concern to such matters. But there is more agitation here than is healthy for comfort. Boston is not free from it. They are" catching the spirit of "moving out" in Boston, and the same flare of indignation is observed there that one finds in other places.

In Cincinnati, Ohio, "indignant 'white citizens, incensed at a Negro buying a home in an exclusive neighborhood," set fire to the furniture of a family moving in a house, only to die in that the furniture and house belonged not to colored but to white, picked the wrong house. Detroit marks time, auditing the approaching trial of Dr. Sweet, his wife, mother of a fifteen months old baby, and nine others, charged with first degree murder, following the firing into the crowd of whites who had gathered in front of Dr. Sweet's new home. It is not generally known that this property for years had belonged to a Colored man married to a white woman. Cleveland is not marking time but working considerably under cover. According to exclusive information, pioneer whites of Cleveland regard the opposition there as untimely, in view of the approaching week of raising several millions of dollars for their annual Community Chest, early in November. Indignant whites have made the Community Chest an issue on Negro Housing. Colored people have sensed the folly of the proposal of cutting off Negro charities, and the blacks are taking advantage of it in presenting their claims before the bar of public opinion. Baltimore, Louisville, St. Louis, Denver, St. Paul, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Columbus, Philadelphia, Newark, N. J., are some of the other larger cities where this subject of segregation has reached an acute stage. In many of the cities, the subject of segregated schools is equally as acute as that of housing. Chicago, it seems, has gone through the worst of its difficulties for the present, due to much building on the North and West Sides, leaving South Side properties, the finest in America, at the disposal of the racial group, Colored Chicago, however, stood in ground in the midst of bombs and intimidation, and even today is organized to meet all emergencies. There are scores of small cities, heretofore free from intensified prejudice, where the subject of housing and schools has come forward. RESCUES BOY CLIMBER NEW YORK, N.

P. F. BITZWATER, D.D. Des- site of CHECAN) Lesson for October 18 LESSON TEXT — I Cor. 13:1-13. GOLDEN TEXT — "Now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.—I Cor. 13:13. PRIMARY TOPIC — What Love Does. JUNIOR TOPIC—Working Together. INTERMEDIATE AND WESTERN TOPIC—Greatest Thing in the World. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Love, the Hope of the World. The occasion of the writing of this epistle was: 1. The existence of rival factions contending each other. Some were for Paul; some for Apollis; some for Peter, and some for Christ. This factions spirit was threatening the church. 2. Their failure to carry out sacred discipline. 3. Their going to law with each other. 4. Indifference to gross immorality. 5. Letters requesting information as to: a. Marriage and divorce. b. Food connected with sacrifices and festivals. 6. The exercise of spiritual gifts. 7. Disorder in the public assemblies. 8. The presence in the church of certain ones who denied the resurrection of the Dead. 9. The Preeminence of Love (vv. 1, 2). 10. It transcends: 11. Speaking With Tongues (v. 1). 12. For men to possess the loftiest elegance and be lacking in love is to be as booming brass or a clanking cymbal. 13. The Gift of Prophecy (v. 2). 14. To be able to penetrate the mystery of nature and Providence is good, but to love is better. 15. Faith of the Most Vigorous Kind (v. 2). 16. Even though one should have sufficient vital faith as to remove mountains it is of less value than love. 17. Philanthropy of the Most Generous Sort (v. 3). Even though one should have such a spirit of altruism as to be moved to surrender all earthly goods for the sake of the poor, unless actuated by love, he would have no recognition before God. II. The Attributes of Love (vv. 4-7). 1. It Is Long Suffering and Is Kind (v. 4). It means not only to bear long, but to be kind all the while. 2. It Is Free From Envy (v. 4). Those, who are controlled by love are entirely free from the spirit of envy because of the superior worth and success of others. 3. It Is Free From Boasting and Vanity (v. 4). Love strives to do good to all without seeking illimitation and applause. 4. It Is Fecorous (v. 5). Love is always polite and mannerly; knows how to behave at all times. 5. It Is Unsatisfied (v. 5). It is always seeking the good of others while forfeiting of self. 6. It Does, Not Give Way to Passion (v. 5). It is not quick tempered. 7. It Takes No Delight in Evil (vv. 1-6) It does not impute evil motives to others and is free from suspicion. Love has no sympathy with that which is evil. 8. It Bears All Things (v. 7). That is, it insures itself in the gracious mantle of love and shuts out all evil. 9. Love Is Trustful (v. 7). It looks into the future with confidence. 10. Love Is Hopeful (v. 7). It seizes the things of the future, brings them into the present and appropriates them for its use. 11. Love Is Firm (v. 7). It intelligently sets its attention to things that are right, and with unvarying strength, holds fast. 11t. The Permanence of Love (vv. 13-14) 1. It Outlasts Prophecy (v. 8). Prophecy in the Scriptures means both a foretelling of events and the teaching of the Word of God. 2. It Outlasts Speaking With Tongues (v. 8). The race once spoke the same language, but as judgment for sin and religion, God brought confusion and enraged the people to speak many tongues. 3. It Outlasts Knowledge (v. 8). The knowledge we now have is only relative, but the day is coming when the relative knowledge shall be done away by the coming in of a wider and nobler intelligence. Seed Grain Cust forth thy art, thy word, into the ever living, ever working universe; it is a seed grain that cannot die; unnoticed today, it will be found flourishing as a banana grove after a thousand years.—Thomas Carlyle.

Older Porters Fight Union Idea Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. J., T. 17, 14—Coming up with arguments advanced by A. Phillip Randolph with regard to organizing the Pullman Porters into a union affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, George Louis Ford of 149 West 101st Street, a veteran in the Pullman Service, attached to the Pennsylvania Terminal District, asserted to The New York Age that the porters did not want the assistance of the A. F. of L. in adjusting any difference that might arise between them and the Pullman Company. Mr. Ford declared that there is no employing company in the country that is more of a friend to its Negro employees than the Pullman Company and stated that he knew personally well the late George M. Pullman, founder of the company, and that Mr. Pullman himself was decidedly loyal and friendly to the Negro. "As a matter of fact," said Mr. Ford, "the Pullman Company offers greater and more desirable opportunities to the colored workers than any other company in the U. S. company to belief in some, quarters, there are a number of colored men employed as clerks, doing the same kind of work as do the mechanical workers, as the company gives employment to many craftsmen, including electricians, machinists, carpenters, and other mechanics. "If I had a young son, it would be my advice to him to connect himself with the Pullman Company for the advantages which are offered by that service and which he could get in no other way. Besides the advantage of wide and varied travel, there is a contact with the city, the government, the citizenry which he could get in no other way, and this contact and association is of a benefit almost immeasurable. The pay is good, better than most other lines of employment open to the Negro worker. "I put a young student with the Pullman Company, who worked during the summer to pay his way through school. His mother told that he had saved $300 during one summer. Young student that he had been able to save $1000 during one year as a Pullmanporter." Continuing, Mr. Ford said that there is a misapprehension as to the porters' working hours which should be corrected. While there are occasional instances in which a porter is doubled out after a long teal for which he is always paid extra, that is a condition that obtains in almost any business, when emergency care make overtime hours necessary most of the porters are glad to do this extra work because the extra pay. But there are also porters who duterminal station, and they leave the car and station at the same time as does the conductor. "MF, Randolph is also misleading as to what the A. F. of L. can do for the colored man," said Mr. Ford. "I was a waiter some years ago in a Kohlsaat's restaurant in Chicago, and the waiters were organised into a union by agents of the F. L. in attempting to enforce union defiance to waiters walked out. But white girls walked in, and they are there yet." Mr. Ford declared the statement that porters are underpaid, and charged that there are many of the younger men who are not worth even what they are getting, to judge from the condition of their cars and their lockers. "The larger corporations have a system of paying their employees and this system is based on a rule on the needs and requirements of the business," said Mr. Ford, appeals for a change in the pay bill or usually ineffective union backed up by a strike. Mr. Ford. Pullman porters are a position to attempt onfencing demands for increased pay by means of a strike. "The Fullman Company experienced one of the worst strikes in the country's history during the Cleveland administration based on demands made by the shop men, who were backed by the A. F. of L. and it was not settled until federal troops patrolled Chicago streets."

Questions for her should be addressed to Mme. Katherine Wilson, 3423 Indiana Ave., The Associated Negro Press, Chicago, IL. Mrs. M. D. Medical science has been baffled for years by the white splatches which appear on the face and body without any cause or serious result. This condition is not limited to any particular racial group, but in the white, and lighter skinned people they simply do not show up plainly. These spots are very noticeable among the darker persons of our race because of the great contrast. Quite often you read in the daily papers of a case where a Negro of dark skin has turned white. I do not know of any cure for this condition which is known as loss of destruction of the skin pigment. The albines present a case of complete loss of pigment which cannot be artificially restored. There are no harmful results accompanying this condition with the exception of the damage done one's appearance. The damage one needs to be alarmed or humiliated is you have a few lice in your hair. These little parasites are able to find refuge in the hair of the rich as well as the poor, or even the dainty debilitate. This condition, generally known as pedilence, can be acquired in a hotel, Pullman car, or at a petting party. Should the lice be few in number and you discover the attack immediately after the exposure, a cupful of vinegar in a quart of hot water poured over the head, will eradicate them. However, if they are quite numerous and nits have begun to develop, I would advise saturating the hair with a solution made of equal parts of Ether and Larkspur. Allow this solution to remain on the hair for one hour and then give a vigorous shampoo. Allow—There is nothing on the market that will make hair which is partially gray, entirely gray. Since you insist that something must be done to aid you and rendering assistance to our readers is my partner pleasure, permit me to make the following suggestion, with the understanding that you are not to be offended: Produce yourself a youthful sweetheart, preferably a boy in his teens. At the end of one year's time, the attendant duties and worry attached to his bringing up, should bring about the result desired. Miss Seventeen—Your friends say that you are beautiful and you are worried for fear that some day you might lose this wonderful asset. Sophisticated beauty is not beauty; merely attraction. You must remember that to remain beautiful, one must be morally and spiritually beautiful, as well. Obey the Ten Commandments, observe strict rules of living, diet, and exercise, obtain the proper rest, and read good books. Harbor no jealousy and top a sweetness of character and dissension. When you are old, gray and wrinkled, you will still be beautiful. Haz Heck says: "Mighty few wimmin faint unless the occasion seems to call for it." SPRINGFIELD, Illinois, October 6, (Special)—Emancipated and The Emancipated are now together, as a short sketch and photograph of the emancipated rest at the grave and monument of the emancipator in this city today. The photograph and sketch are that of the late R. H. Boyd of Nashville, Tennessee, the founder of the National Baptist Publishing Board's Plant. It was developed by the monument of the blond boy by the son of the emancipated, in the person of Henry Boyd, who delivered a stirring address on "Front Line Sunday, Schools" here Sunday. The mass meeting was participated in by all of the Sunday Schools of the city of Springfield, the capital of Illinois. The custodian of the Lincoln Monument had been requesting a photograph and a sketch of the life of R. H. Boyd ever since the Sunday School Congress met in this city some years ago, when a committee from the Congress brought a wreath and laid it on Lincoln's monument. The custodian here said when Henry Allen brought the photograph and the sketch: "Now the emancipated can rest peacefully with the emancipator." Loyal citizens of both races regarded this as a very unique assertion and very timely remark, as noted by R. H. Boyd was born a slave and lived in the days of slavery and the civil war. After this emancipation, he began his great work during the days of reconstruction." Ignorant and unlearned when he was emancipated, he rose to spledge heights as a leader among the emancipated people. He was elevated to the highest position in the gift of his denomination, the Negro Baptist, and he built for his race and denomination one of the greatest institutions in the country. He was respected and honored because of his safe leadership, his sane advice and his loyalty to the country. "The late Dr. Boyd was therefore, regarded as a leader of ability and note." Said a leader of the race here today. ORDERS INDICTMENTS FOR MEMBERS OF MOD Associated Negro ASHVILLE, N.C., Sept. 20—Indentment for every member of the mob who participated in the storming of the Hiramble county jail Saturday night in an attempt to take a Negro prisoner, have been ordered by Judge John Oglesby of the superior court bench. One member, a woman, circulated a petition against the imprisoned man, was arrested and is being held. The prisoner's name is Alvin Mansely. FIND SOURCE OF TUBERCULOSIS Associated Negative CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 30—Two scientists at the University of Chicago, Dr. Alexander A. Maxinow and Dr. J. Lang, are said to have discovered the source of growth of tuberculosis, by observing the growth of the disease on living tissue, then, a microscope. The experiment has established the belief that the tuberculosis notifies grow on the lung tissues and in the white corpuscles of the blood. BATHING AFTER CHURCH DROWNS Associate NEWBERRY, S.

It was rated as being one of the best sessions held in the history of the organization. Many vital issues of the latest issues of the day were thoroughly discussed by teachers who are prepared to take care of the situation. Each teacher responded readily at the calling of the roll with the necessary finance to, put the program over. Everyone, seemingly, was filled with new inspiration. Prof. W. C. Bruck, State Inspector, and Miss Auclair Hayden, Domestic Science teacher of Kirkwood, motored from St. Louis and were in simple time for the meeting. Prof. Bruce lectured to the teachers along the line of school work. He clearly stated the necessity of prepared men and women in the professional world. The adjustment conditions in order may be given to the Negro boys and girls as is given to the whites in order that our boys and girls may have an opportunity to do effective work and prove themselves worthy and lift the standard of the race along the professional lines was also discussed. Prof. Bruce is in a position to know the facts in the case relative to the city and rural schools for Negro boys and girls in Missouri. We are proud of him. There are some conditions existing that should not exist; there are some things that should be given our boys' and girls along the line of educational facilities that are not given. If our state Legislates more than one, the same should be made for the other. We cannot adjust these conditions in spasmatic way but we must maintain prayerful, with-painting care, make an effort to do our duty in full, measure up to the requirements, be men and women and ask for what we want intelligently with racial pride. **** We extend to the patrons of Car utherville our heartfelt thanks for throwing their door open and extending to us a hearty welcom. We extend to Prof. W. G. Thompson a laurel of appreciation for efficient service rendered. We will hold our next meeting in Charleston and we feel assured Prof. Emory and faculty will take care of the situation. C. A. Curry. Reporter. -FULTON, MO.

Address all communications to George Wells Parker, the Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Who were Shabak and Tirhakah? J. J. L. Mobile, Ala Shabak was the Ethiopian conqueror of Egypt and lived about 3000 B. C. Tirhakah was an Ethiopian general and ruler of Egypt who expelled the Assyrians from Egypt in 67 B. C. Was Jeans Christ of African blood? D. J. N. Kansas City, Mo. J. J. writing his given in the New Testament was descended from ancestors who were of African blood. He was himself a dew and it is ethnically true that there is a strain of dark blood in the true Hebrew. The description supposed to have been given of Christ all ginger blue eyes and blonde hair is evidently a forgery. Who was John Latto and who did he live? G. F. C. Akron, Ohio. He was a poet and scholar of Spain and lived in the 18th century. He was born a slave and later attended the University of Granada and seceded the degree of Doctor of Arts. Later he won the chair of Poetry at this university through competitive examination. Was Heracles, the famous Grecian hero, a Negra? N. N. P. Carinthia, Miss. Heracles was originally an African hero and his stories were borrowed from ancient Asiatics and early European people. The Heracles of Greek mythology was descended from Epiphope the black toch's son of Io and Zeus. Was the wife of Charles Sumner: chored woman? I have heard this statement made but did not know whether it was true or not. M. W. Buffalo, N. V. No. She was a white woman of the bristlete type, and rather dark. Some of his enemies claimed that she was coipred, but she was not. Somewhere I have read that black scholars composed the Koran. Is such a fact? F. G. N. Alton, I. The man who compiled the Koran was Abu Bekr, life long friend of Mohammed. Abu Bekr was a full blooded Negro, a rich in reliance of Arabian and the keeper of the records of his tribe. He was asked by friends of Mohammed to preserve the saying of the people after his death. Abu Bekr was named by Mohammed to be the 1657 Culip of the Mohammadan Empire. Prizes For Best Newspaper Literary Production Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y. 061211 Opportunity Magazine, which is an announcing in its October issue a series of Awards For Constructive Journalism to be given to the papers, who have the finest editors, news stories and feature articles during a period of time to be designated, plans these awards "to bring to the attention of the world at large those splendid qualities of literary craftsmanship which frequently go unnoticed in the Negro Press." Editor Omarles Johnson states that "the winning editors news stories, and features will be placed in a new prominence, and their messages as well as their skillful handling fitted against the best that the white press can offer". The following editorial in October "Opportunity" explains the purpose behind the awards: "The Negro Weekly Press is today one of the most important agencies for the forming of opinions among Negroes. It expresses their desires and grievances, their philosophies and their failings. For this group it is the fourth estate, no less powerful than that institution to which Edmund Burke addressed himself. It can inspire, foster and create movements; it can run them. The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of New York under the sturdy and inspiring leadership of Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, has shown a rare discontent in directing its attention to the press, and combining with the ideal of competent craftsmanship that of interracial peace and undistinguish. There are perhaps more Negro writers in this field than in any other and incentives to the highest stand of production are not always present. More attention needs to be paid to the officials of this press. Always they are interesting, and, not infrequently, they are brilliant and compelling. The prizes offered are in recognition of the latent existence of literary competence in a field where improved technique can register in dominance of critics. The also are the prizes in a young woman to interracial good will, for which we all are working, and to which end the prize itself can, perhaps, contribute most. Colortul News "Movies" By The Cameraman For Preston News Service In these days when the birth of gold, all the one hand, and the pyramided prestige of Anglo-Saxon blood, on the other hand, potentially influence certain blacks and certain whites, respectively, to lead to the call of discrimination and segregation in many of the public school systems of the United States, defying Constitutional precepts and Christian brotherhood, it may not be unbearable to turn back to the days in the life of the late Charles Summer, of Massachusetts, United States, statesman, champion of Negro rights, and human capital of Justice. On December 4, 1958, Mr. Summer appeared before the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, as counsel for Sarah C. Roberts, a counsel of five years old, who by her next friend, had sold the City of Boston for damages on account of a refusal to receive her into the public schools. The question stated by Mr. Summer was: "Can any determination on account of color or race be made under the Constitution and laws of Massachusetts among the children entitled to the benefit of our public schools?" in opening his argument. Mr. Summer said to the Court. "This little child asks at your hands her personal rights. So doing she calls openly upon you to doubt a question which concerns the personal rights of every cultural child, which concerns the fundamental principles of human rights, which concerns the Christian character of this community. Such parables, and such interests, so grapted and varied, may justify challenge your most earnest attention." In touching upon Summer's remarkable logic is this particular case his biographer says (in 1574): "The freedom from taste which characterizes the schools of the young states of the Northwest may be largely assisted to the influence of tails art." THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 16, 1925 gument presented to the bench of judges in Massachusetts." judges in Massachusetts. Charles Sumner, the truly great Commander, continued his argument of 1849 with the following allegations, which it is well than you and I, amid, as we said before, the lure of gold and the pyramidal prestige of Anglo-Saxon blood, should well consider in this modern age, when discrimination and segregation are being cemented into American life in a way which their proponents consider highly ethical. Listen to Summer, in 1849: listen to Sunday, in 1947. "As the State receives strength from the unity and solidarity of citizens, without distinction of class, so the school receives new strength from the unity and solidarity of all classes beneath its roof. In this way, the poor, the humble, and the neglected share not only the companionship of their more favored brethren, but enjoy also the protection of their presence, in drawing toward the school a more watchful superintelligence. A degraded or neglected class, if left to themselves, will become more degraded or neglected. To hint that hath shall be given; and the world, true to these words, turns from the poor and outcast to their rich and fortunate. It is the aim of our system of public schools, by the blending of all classes, to draw upon the whole school the attention which is too apt to be given only to the lowest and most deserving of the poor their portion of the fruitful sunshine. But the colored children, placed apart by themselves, are deprived of this blessing. "May it please your honors, such are some of the things which it has occurred to me to say in this important case. I have occupied much of your time, but $ have not yet exhausted the topics. Still, which way soever we turn, we are brought back to one single proposition, the equality of men before the law. This stands as the mighty guardian of the rights of the colored children in this case. It is the constant, ever present tutelary genius, of this Commonwealth, frowning upon every privilege of birth, upon every institution of caste. You cannot slight it or avoid it; you cannot restrain it. It remains that you should welcome it. Do this and your words will be a charter and freehold of rejoicing to a race which has earned by much suffering a title to much regard. Your judgment will become a sacred landmark, not in jurisprudence only, but in the history of freedom, giving precious encouragement to all the weary and heavy laden wayfairers, in this great cause. Massachusetts will then through you have a fresh title to regard and be once more, as in times past, an example to the whole land." Thus spoke Charles Summer in 1849 What would he say were he alive today? Form and Substance- "What you are speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say." Arbeth Lincoln. Every seasoned Student of Law knows the difference between the form and substance of pleandings of how the former is merely a matter of legal police and appearance; while the latter goes to the heart of the plea. Errors in form may be easily corrected; but errors in substance are usually fatal. Velence critics of both Race individuals and the Race as a whole, both within and without its fold, may be likened to a Court which is so incompetent that it regarr-form as being more important than substance; and without exercising a discerning eye to detect the good that lies within men and races, with one ignorant decision, condemns, because of its rough exterior surface, some hidden virtue which, day by day, is stimulating the souls of men. Thus, John Smith, hewer of wood and drawer of water, rogigh and ready, but a devotee of ardent Christian service, is frequently exiled by proponents of one-day Christianity, whose breasts swell with surging prayer and praise on Sunday, but whose lives, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, yield an exhaust of unkindness, criticism, and hypocrisy, relying upon form, not substance, for their virtuous and exemplary existence; while Honest John tolls on with physical and moral endurance, unbreakable through the seven-day week. Form is the stimulant of the mob spirit; the "blood-word" of its victim; the measure by which prejudice points to color as a mark of inferiority or superiority; and Form is the internal weapon which we use in offense to condemn rather than to discern the goal that within men lies. It is no less important that the substance of a Race should be the factor by which the world judges its greatness and its goodness than it is that within the Race itself we should be liberal with our counterparts, and look through the form to the substance in an honest endeavor to discern these Christian virtues and elements of service which bespeak Peace, Charity, Humility and Respect; and for what could be more just than that if a man seek Equality, he shall do Equity; and he who seeks Equity must do so with clean hands. Although the worldld world has permeated each one of us with the ulloy of conquest and self-exaltation; yet, there is so much good in the worst of us that substance is the only just measure of "real, honest-to-goodness" that we stand for in the Good Book says, "Let us thinketh he standerd take heed lest he fall," and let him, like Equity, look to the substance rather than to the form. The Floridian Stampede— Believe it or not, the population of Florida is increasing at the rate of 100 per cent a decade. In 1900, Florida had 528,542 people. In 1920 she had 968,470; and in 1930, if the present stampede continues, the everglades state ought to have two million or more, representing the tremendous flow of migrants from the North who are answering the mysterious call of the Everglades State. That white people are ready biters of propaganda is easily proved by each trainload of promoters and promoters which employs at Palatka, St. Augustine, Miami, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Key West and on down the Florida line. Just what causes the stampede other than florid advertisements, no one seems to know. When it is considered that during the year, September 1, 1922, to August 31, 1923, 90,000 Negroes stamped themselves out of Florida, making a great big dent in the 350,000 Negro population thereafter in the State, and that this healthy number formed 18.8 per cent of the near half million Negroes who deserted the Southland during the same year, wormerment is/expressed at the tremendous influx of newcomers who seek to abide in the land, which was but a sinking ship to those who left its confines. Here, though is the difference. The 90,000-abundant Negroes left for greater freedom, better schools, fuller and more equal protection under the law, higher wages, better homes, and emancipation from preamage and prison camps. The newcomers of Anglo-Saxon hue, doubtless go to Florida for the promotion of capital investments, away from the stricter corporation laws of the Northland, and for the stimulating of the rather free public law, as prevalent in Florida. Florida, like every other artificial bonanza, ethical laxity will prevail. Rules will be suspended and customs sidetracked to give money plenty of air and space in which to develop wings. With the prevalent tradition of the Floridian atmosphere, social and civic barriers already existing can be so strengthened so as to make the sledding for the brother even more strenuous than it now is. In anxiety we shall observe the migration to the everglades state, hoping and praying that by chance it may innoirate in its program for Florida, anti-lynching, anti-psychoaglank, better schools for the Negro, the full and equal protection of the law, and every other just benefit which might prevent 30,000 whites who are going down from passing 30,000 blacks coming up, each of whom would, under present conditions, both real and artificial, be seeking something better, more permanent, and more blessed, all the way from a motor-boat to a bullet-box. Now that the City of Baltimore has decided to pave North Carolina Street our old friend, Dr. William (Bill) H. Cargill need not further delay buying that Rolls Royce he's been aching for. An appropriation of $100,000 was made by the last session of the Tennessee Legislature for additions to the Negro State Normal school at Nashville. This appropriation is increased by donation from the general education board and private resources, making $320,000 available for the expansion of that institution. NOTES OF THE NOTABLES On last Monday Hon. William C. Matthews, of Boston, breezed into Washington and brewed right out again. "Matty" made a shortstop. "To be or not to be," that is the question of J. B. Whitney, campaign manager for J. Dalmus Steele, candidate for the Grand Exalted Rulership of the L. B. P. O. E. W. Wonder if J. Finley Wilson will bring back any Elks teeth from the State of Washington? Perhaps, the "Fin" went out west to get a rabbit's foot. Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 7—A representative body of Philadelphia, mostly members of the John Brown Memorial Association, tendered a farewell reception to Dr. Williams Lloyd Imes, pastor of Lombard St. Presbyterian Church. Dr. Imes is leaving Philadelphia to assume pastoral work in New York City. The affair was held at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Theodore Richardson, 1921 Bainbridge Street. TRAVELS 14,000 MILES TO STUDY U. S. NEGRO CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Does not head a republican government but comes of a ruling house that has been in power for nearly three centuries. The inheritance, instead of passing from father to son, is handed on from uncle to nephew. Seniority is of no importance. When the ruler feels that the hour of his death is near, he enters into consultation with the Queen mother, behind closed doors (the flap of a tent or a palm leaf). Together they discuss the qualifications of all the young male members of the family. The successor to the throne is chosen for his worth. Upon the death of the Chief, the favored nephew's name is given to the Council of Elders by the Queen. "It is the Queen who has the real power," says Nana Amoah. The people then signify whether they are satisfied with the nominee. If so, he is acclaimed the new ruler. Wealth Never Makes Chief "Our election returns are flashed by a wireless method of our own from east to west and from north to south." Chief Nana Amoah relates They are carried through the air—over the mountains, across lakes and rivers, through the jungles—by the beating of drums." There is, it seems, a language of — a native African equivalent of the Morse code—baten out on small drums and large drums—some as high as a man, that boom into the stillness of the bush. Telegraphic drumming is an art and a profession on the Gold Coast. Messages carry from twenty to thirty miles, are picked up by the sharp ears of a sentinel and relayed to the next station. In this manner news spreads as fast as sound can travel. Great celebration marks the election of a chief. Dancing and feasting enter into the ceremonies. Besides the oath of office taken by the young chief—in which he pledges himself to do his duty by his people night or day, to respond whenever called upon and to defend the rights of his tribe in case of war—he must swear allegiance to the British Government. With great pomp he is escorted to the Deputy Governor. "Wearing my robes of state," said Nana Amoun. "I was carried in a palmquin on the shoulders of some of my subjects. I took with me gifts of gold. My sub-chiefs were in attendance; the Council of Elders and the brimpins." These last, he explained, are the Rockefellers and the Fords of the Fanti tribe. "though in my country money does not buy power; a chief may be a poor man, but wealth will sever make a chief." Wears, Costly Fineries. Each subchief has his attendants. In the procession—were the sword bearers, holding silver and golden urns in their hands: elephant-tail boys, who ran back and forth shooting flies, and the Treasurer, holding in his right hand a pair of scales. The great Chief himself wore chains of gold and precious stones about his neck, while the ornaments on his arms were so heavy that it took two aids to help him hold them up. In old times the heads of the tribes were called Kings, but the title was changed to Chief when England's rule was extended to the Gold Coast. A sword and not a crown is the emblem of power. Though Chief Amoun dresses in the latest English fashion when traveling, he brought along several of his most gorgeous native costumes, as well as his royal sword. The roles are brilliant in color and of fine texture. On his head he wears a soft silk scarf. "Some of the beads I wear on special occasions," said Nana Amoun, "are priceless; they were made by ancient Phoenician artists and are reflections of the days when those great mariners traded along our shores." The Government of the Fanti is paternalistic. All disturbances that cannot be settled privately are referred to the Chief. The individual is responsible to the family, the family to the tribe and the tribe to the Chief. Above the Chief is the Mbra, or Paramount Chief, chosen for his prowess, whose sole duty it is to End the Fanti's in war. To aid him Chief Amoah has twelve Councillors. All crimes, other than murder, are brought before the native councils. Graver offenses are tried in the English courts. "We have poverty, but no paupers," said the African visitor. "Every citizen must do some work. We have land belonging to the Crown which can be occupied by those who have no home of their own. Should a member of our tribe die leaving his immediate family without means of support, the responsibility falls to his nearest relations. If they are unable to assume it the tribe becomes responsible. "Polygamy is not customary among the educated people, though it does exist in my tribe. Marriage is less a hazard with us than it is here. We are careful before we enter into marital relations. Courtship Courtship pursues the following fashion: The young Fanti, having beheld the maiden of his choice, confides the secret to his father, who proceeds to investigate the girl's circumstances. If the result proves satisfactory, consent is given; if not, the young man must seek elsewhere. But search, for family skeletons does not end here. Wae to the young man if his own escutcheon proves less fair than the girl's! Often two persons are betrothed when they are children, though marriage does not take place until the girl is about 18. Courtesy to Strangers Respect and courtesy are shown to the unarmed visitor who travels thru the Fantis' domain. "The stranger who enters one of our villages becomes the charge of the odikro, or head man of the community. In the name of the villagers he presents the guest with gifts. When the visitor is about to make his departure, messengers are sent ahead to the next village to advise its odikro. Furthermore, he has the protection of an escort of our people while he journeys from one settlement to another. "His belongings are held sacred.

Even after a large of twenty years the owner would, find it intact." Religion Though Christianity is rapidly spreading in Africa, large numbers of the native adherent to their primitive beliefs and superstitions. "The outside world often misunderstands the native worship of nature," opined Nana Amoh, who is himself a Christian. "When we pray to mountains, streams and rocks, it is not because we believe them to be endowed with any divine power but because we think that they are better able than we to reach our god, who according to our conception, is a very remote being. We recognize a universal god to whom we give two names: Yami, the god who made me, and Yamukupon, the friend that never fails. "This god is far off in the realms above, where it is dull for us as mere mortals, to communicate with him. So we offer our prayers to some soaring peak that it, reaching heavenward, may intercede on our behalf. The missionaries, however, have taught many of us that there is a God, ever present and within us, who does not need to be approached through other instruments than our own hearts and minds." Well. Educated Chief Nana Amoah was educated in the Westleyan "college. He is widely traveled and has spent many years in England, where his two daughters are now in school. Nana Amoah is 18 years old and has four children. The estimated number of children of school age in the Gold Coast colony is 300,000. Only about 35,000 are getting an education. It is said that although the educated natives do not constitute more than half the population of even the coast cities, they dominate the thought and action of their people. Like Nana Amoah HI, these Africans who have come in contact with European culture, speak English with a British accent. Like him they look to America for inspiration and assistance in the completion of their struggle for self-development. TRIES TO COMMIT SUICIDE Associated Negro Press CLINTON, N.
