POLICE ARE ACCUSED IN SWEET CASE
Hays Charges Detroit Patrolman Fired Fatal Shot. Not A Member Of Sweet's Protectors
Witnesses For The Defense
Swear They Were Beaten
By Mob That Stormed The
Physician's Home
DETROIT, Nov. 18—Attorney Arthur Garfield Hays of New York, associated with Clarence Darrow in the defense of eleven colored defendants charged with the murder of Leon Breiner during a race-riot in a white neighborhood last September, electrified the courtroom of Judge Frank Murphy in opening the defense Monday by charging:
"We shall prove a Detroit police man, fired the bullet that killed Breiner. "The direction from, which the bullet entered his body is sufficient proof it could not have come from the upper window in the home of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet; as asserted by the prosecution."
The defense has advanced along three specific lines: First, that of self defense; second, that the defendants were in an agitated state of mind, superinduced by fear; third that the bullet which killed Breiner was fired by a man on the outside.
Were Attacked
Witnesses produced Tuesday by the defense in the murder case against eleven colored defendants who swore that they had been attacked and injured by a crowd of white residents who resented the residence of Ossian Sweet, colored doctor, in their neighborhood. Charles Schauffner, colorful chauffeur, exhibited scars on his face; he said were inflicted by the mob. Clarence Darrow examined the witnesses to bring out what he called the psychology of fear which he claims caused the shooting.
Dr. Sweet Testifies
On Wednesday, Dr. Ossian H. Sweet principal defendant, took the simul. He told of his life, his struggles for an education, his marriage, and lastly of the events surrounding his efforts to occupy his newly purchased home, around which the fatal riot occurred.
Sweet declared he did not shoot nor let any of his friends shoot until he thought the crowd about his home was about to try to break in. Hays made the statement that animosity of Detroit police assigned to guard the home of the colored physician toward members of the colored race would be shown by the defense. Judge Murphy, Monday, denied the motions by Hays and Darrow to direct a verdict of not guilty for all the defendants, and in particular Mrs. Ossian Sweet, on the ground the state had failed to addobey sufficient proof that they had been associated in a conspiracy to commit murder.

Eleven N. Carolina Whites Who Stormed Jail In Attempt To Get A Colored Man Are Given Terms In The Penitentiary
ASHEVILLE, N. C., Nov. 18. Eleven of 20 defendants charged with storming the Biminco county jail Sept. 19, in an attempt to take Alvin Manusha, a colored man, therefrom, were convicted by a superior court jury last Saturday and received sentences from six months to one determinate sentence from four to eight years in the penitentiary.
Six Plead Guilty
Six defendants, Thursday entered pleas of guilty to one of six counts brought in the bill of indictment against them, that of riotious assoc-ing. An attempt to enter pleas on the part of three other defendants, Diamond Ward, Luther Townsend and Carl Swink, was without success, the solicitor insisting that he suffi-cient evidence to convict them. Those who pleaded guilty were Jeter Bell, Eugene Wilson, Charlie, Pendland, John Strindley Ball, Bad Wilson and Harry Smith. Paul Pagrah, 16 years old, pleaded guilty Thursday and Judge Stack indicated that he would order a suspended indictment in Pagrah's case as a reward for the courage he showed in being the last to tender a plea.
White Order Loses Suit To Stop Negro Order From Using The Name
Circuit Judge Hamilton Monday denied the Loyal Order of Moose, a white secret society, an infunction order to prevent the Paramount Progressive Order of Moose, a Colored secret society, from using the name "Moose." The white organization claimed it had exclusive right of the name.
Suit was brought against the Colored society by the white organization last fall. The Paramount Progressive Order had been here only a year at the time. The plaintiffs suit charged that the defendants were not only using their name but were also copying their ritual. The use of the name Moose by two organizations was confusing, the plaintiff argued. Judge Hamilton held that there was not sufficient cause to deny the Colored organization the right to use the name Moose. As to the names being confusing, he declared that the differenced in face would serve to distinguish the two organizations.

GIRL 4 DIES FROM BURNS
Monday afternoon while her aunt was absent from home, little Magnolia Herold, age 4, was burned to death.

Mitchell rushed the child to the city hospital where she was pronounced dead. It is thought that Magnolia was playing around a heating store when her clothes caught fire.

NIGHT RIDERS ARE ARRESTED FOR FLOGGING
White Farmers Held Under A $10,000 Bond On Three Charges Following Beating Of Colored Man.
EL DORADO, Ark., Nov 18—With his head heavily swathed in bandages and his body baring many ugly bruises, which kept him in constant expressions of pain, Ed Brock, the colored victim of night riders appeared in court here Monday afternoon to testify in a preliminary hearing of two white farmers, who are being held for the assault.
Given Heavy Bonds
Brock's attackers, W. D. Webb and Horace Nash, were held on charges of night riding, assault with intent to kill and carrying a pistol. Webb was also arraigned on a charge of selling intoxicating liquor. The men were ordered held for the Grand Jury under heavy bond. Webb's bond was set at $6,000 and Nash's at $4,500.
Sold Liquor
The attack on Brock occurred Sunday night at his home, one mile from Lawson. The men broke into the colored man's house, pulled him out of bed and beat him unmerciful about the head and body with clubs.
County officials stared that the flogging of Brock grew out of the arrest Sunday afternoon of Webb and Brock. Officers who had been keeping a vigilant watch on Webb in an effort to catch him on a liquor charge, while lying in wait were said to have seen him sell Brock a bottle of whiskey. Both were arrested, and released on bond.
Believing Brock betrayed him to the police. Webb got his partner, and went to the colored man's home and flogged him.
SURVIVOR OF CRASH IN WHICH THREE WERE KILLED RECOVERING
Mrs. Fred Dyer, 22, 2014 Division street, the survivor of the fatal automobile crash in which Robert Wells, 34, Rosewald Johnson, 23, and Wheeling McCulough, 40, were killed at 3:45 a.m. Sunday, is expected to recover, it was stated by officials at the City Hospital No. 2, yesterday.
The three men were killed when the driver of the Hudson sedan, (thought to have been Wells), while going north on the Grand Boulevard viaduct, became confused by an auto approaching from the opposite direction. He swerved sharply as if to avoid hitting the machine of Ruth Burke (white) which swung out from in the rear of the car of Irvin Blanchi (white) to go past. The Hudson crashed through the steel railing of the bridge and fell to the railroad tracks 90 feet below. It landed on its top and was completely demolished.
A verdict of accident was returned by a coroner's jury Monday.
BRAVE GIRL IS INJURED SAVING TOT
Pushes Her Charge Out Of Danger At Risk Of Own Life. Run Down By Speeding Automobile
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 18. When Louisa Johnson, young colored woman, entered the employment of the wealthy Thatsthmers of 1100 Scott street as a nurse for their three-month-old son, she promised to always give mutual attention to the child, and Tuesday the loyal girl lived up to her promise almost at the cost of her life. It was a push from her hand that shoved the baby carriage in which her charge was riding from the path of a speeding automobile which ran over her.
Miss. Johnson was crossing sixteenth and Main streets with the baby buggy when ran down. The alert woman, with motherly insistence, shoved the little one to safety, when she saw the car bearing down on her. She then made an effort to escape but she was stifled and knocked about eleven feet. The driver of the car, sped on following the accident, but H. G. Leveek of 2609 Battery street, a witness, pursued him. Four blocks away he caught John Hunt, a 16 year-old colored boy, who said he lives two miles south of Wrightsville. The boy was turned over to the Juvenile authorities.

METHODIST UNIFICATION IS DEFEATED
Opposition Of The South To Admission Of Negroes Is Said To Be The Cause Of Christians Not Agreeing
Preston News Service
BFFALO, N. Y., Nov. 18—Opposition of the South will prevent the retention of the Methodist Episcopal Churches, North and South, it was announced by Bishop William F. McDowell, of Washington, after the foreword session of the Board of Bishops of the Northern church in session here last week.
Bishop McDowell said that apparently the church of the South objected to the admission of Negroes to the church and also felt that it should preserve its historic identity as separate and distinct religious jurisdiction. Although the referendum on the question of union has not been completed in the Southern Church, the vote so far registered has decided against the union. Both the Northern church at its general conference in Springfield, Mass, and the Southern church at its meeting in Chattanooga, Tenn., in 1924, the latter by a small majority, voted in favor of the union but the question had to be submitted to the various district conferences.

It was decided to oppose such a move and the members were instructed to use every legitimate means to prevent such action.

YOUNG HEADS COL.TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION
President Of Lincoln University Made The Unanimous Choice Of Teachers. Supt. Lee and Gov. Baker Speak Before Educators The State Teachers Association held a fourday session in St. Louis, last week, November, 11, 12, 13 and 14. The sessions were held in the auditorium of Summer High School. The attendance is said to be the largest in the history of the Association.
The high lights which claim the atention of the teachers during the convention were: The honorful address of the retiring president, Prof. W. H. Harrison of Kansas City; the addresses of State Supt. of Education, Chas. A. Lever and Governor Sam A. Baker, and the election of Dr. Nathan B. Young 'as President of the association.
PROF. W. H. HARRISON
Principal Of Attucks School, Kansas City, Retiring President State Teachers' Association.
In his address, Prof. Harrison made a strong plan for the Negro education in the higher branches of art and sciences; and seured the demagogic politicians who would rob the youth of the race of the chance, for their own selfish purposes.
Supt. Lee claimed the undivided attention of his hearers as he outlined his educational program, particularly as it affected the Negroes of the state. Governor Baker seemed at a this advantage during his remarks, it being explained by some that the Governor, no doubt, felt embarrassed before the Negro educators of the State, when he, as Governor, had officially vetoed legislative measures that would have helped or advanced Negroes in an educational way.
Young's Election
What is regarded as the most significant piece of legislation by the teachers in session, was the election of Dr. N. B. Young, President of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, as
ANCIENT TORTURE METHODS USED IN GA. PRISON CAMPS
Finds Prisoners Placed In Stocks, Tied Up By Arms In Absence Of Lash
MACON, Ga., Nov. 18—Primitive methods of punishing chain gang prisoners, harking back to the Puritan days of Massachusetts, have been revealed by a legislative committee headed by Representative J. F. Malone.
Malone has just returned from an inspection tour of convict camps and said he found in four camps that prisoners guilty of infractions, of camp rules were put in stocks. One of these instruments, he said was padded. Another had the corners rounded off while a third had square holes so the edges would eat into the flesh of the offender.
At another camp, Mr. Malone said prisoners were strung up by their arms so that their toes would hardly touch ground. Inspections of other camps have revealed the use of "sweat boxes" and other devices camp superintendents have invented. The lash has been abolished in convict camps by statute in Georgia.

ANTI-LYNCHING STAND BY WOMEN IN MISSISSIPPI
Campaign Is To Be Pushed Throughout State. Representative Group's Take The Lead.
JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 16. Representative Mississippi women, leaders in many important, religious and civic groups, have launched a determined campaign against lynching and mob violence in this State. The opening gun was the following statement, which was framed and adopted at a state-wide meeting of prominent women held here on call of the Mississippi Interracial Committee:
"We believe in only the single standard of morals for all races, and unquestionably in the protection of the womanhood of the races. We also believe in the law, and that it should under all circumstances be respected and upheld by all citizens. Therefore we deplore mob violence for any crime and desire to register our protest against lynching or any other form of mob violence."
This statement has since been presented before other important gatherings of women and has in every case been adopted with out a dissenting vote. It is understood that efforts to crystallize public sentiment against lynching will be pushed throughout the State by the Interracial organizations. Promoters of the movement say that the mobilization of the women of eleven other Southern States along similar lines has been followed in every case by marked decrease in the number of lynchings.
Community Fund Campaign Now Up To Citizens
Colored People Are Urged To Give Liberally And Raise Their Quota
The success of the Fourth Annual Community Fund Campaign will be determined by how liberally, the people of St. Louis respond to the call of the needy, sick and distressed between now and the closing of the campaign next Monday evening. The goal of $1,848,768 required for this human service, to be given by fifty agencies in the Fund during 1926 will be reached only if every citizen does his share.
The response up to the time of going to press was rather encouraging, particularly from the givers of large donations. However, hundreds of thousands of small contributions are needed to make up the campaign goal.
Along with the other ten divisions of the campaign organization, the Colored Population Division with headquarters at the Pine Street Y. M. C. A. has been working overtime to reach every colored giver who has it in his heart to contribute. The report meetings of the workers are held each evening at the "Y". Very enthusiastic cheers have been given the returns, for each team. In addition to the captains announced in last week's Argus, Miss Viola Chay is heading a team and her workers though starting late are undoubtedly making a fine record.
The opening meeting of the workers last Saturday night was marked with great enthusiasm. Bert H. Lang, General Chairman of the Campaign addressed the workers emphasizing the importance of the campaign this year and the absolute necessity of St. Louis responding liberally to the Community Fund if we are to have this organization with us in future years. Mr. Lang was given a rousing reception by the workers. Elwood Street, Director of the Community Fund, stated that of the approximate amount of $1,640.-

A Square Deal For Every Man
Representatives From Many Sections Of The Country Call At The White House In A Body
Tell Nation's Chief Executive Of Discrimination Against The Race Because Of Color
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 16—What is considered by many as the most representative gathering of Negroes ever assembled for the purpose of doing something for the benefit of the race in a tangible and unselfish way, was the two-day conference held in this city, last week.
The "call" for this conference was issued by Melvin J. Chisum, Field Secretary of the National Negro Press Association, and by the Negro Press Association of the United States, to more business and professional men from all part "of the country. Few seemed to know just "what it's all about," but all agreed that things are not right as they affect our racial group in this country.
The opening session was held at the famous Museo-Lit Club, Wednesday moon, Nov. 11. Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago, was elected as presiding officer. In a brief statement which outlined the purposes of the gathering he said, "The whole world is in an upheaval of thought, of action, and as a group, of people peculiarly situated in this country which we love and acclaim as our own, we have conditions, that confront us and problems to meet that perhaps no other group of people in the world have to contend with. For that reason it behooves those of us who are deeply interested in the race and its future, the welfare of our children and our children's children to come together and think very seriously as to just what course we should pursue in all these matters that affect our people."
Dedaring that this was to be a meeting of accomplishment and not talk, he promptly divided the membership into committees, read the program and the body proceeded to work after the fashion of a legislative assembly. Heading the various committees were John R. Hawkins on The Political Outlook, Scipio A. Jones on Segregation, Henry Allen Boyd, Race Relations; Rev C. M. Tanner, the Church; J. E. Mitchell, the Negro Press; A. L. Holsey, The Economic Outlook; Karl Phillips, Industrial Relations.
These committees read their findings at the New Liberty Hotel, Wednesday evening, during an elaborate banquet. At this meeting it was decided that out of the thought expressed in the reports, a statement should be prepared and submitted to the President of the United States, while filling an engagement at the White House Thursday. Prof. John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church, was selected spokesman for the body.
Thursday morning the delegation visited the White House; after the usual formal greeting, Bishop Carey presented John R. Hawkins as the spokesman for the group. Mr. Hawkins's statement, which represented the thought of the session as presented in the reports, sketched briefly the difficulties incident to the founding of the Republic and referred to the loyalty and good patriotism of the Negro in all the struggles for maintaining and preserving our Democratic government. "We do not pray for any special consideration," the statement said, "and ask only that the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution be enforced."
On the subject of the Interpretation of the law, the speaker plead that "In the series of justice one's color and racial identity shall not be allowed to militate against him and overbear one's weight in character and worth as a reputable citizen."
The President attention was called to the humiliation the race suffers on account of segregation in governmental departments and the unwarranted discrimination of the civil service commission. The President was asked to abolish them, by executive order. Faith in the principles of the Republican party were expressed while the attempt to eliminate the Negro from the councils of the party was denounced as "an unjust discrimination against the group which has always been loyal and steadfast". The President expressed appreciation, sympathy, and interest in the delegation's presentation, promising consideration of the memorandum placed in his hands, he smiled broadly as he spoke of the impression that the delegation had made upon him; and said that the colored people of this country may depend upon him to do all he can to help their cause.
Remarks of John R. Hawkins as Spokesman for the Representatives of the Informal Conference "Mr. President:
"We greet you, Mr. President, as the Chief Executive of one of the greatest Republics on the face of the globe and we come as the representatives of over twelve millions of

The revival at the Central Church is increasing in interest. Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock Dr. Deen will speak to men and boys only. The large auditorium was crowded each night last week with members from all the churches, and the people in general are stirred by one strong impulse to hear the gripping messages given by the noted evangelist. The singing each night, in alternately autobiographical by the young man of the party, is most inspiring. All are welcome. The meeting's continue till the First Sunday in December.

Kappa Sigma Fraternity
The Iappa Sigma Chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity gives its first annual "Prom." November 27, upon which oregon the fraternity will be formally dedicated to the people of St. Louis, according to a statement of the local officers. The Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was organized in 1914 at Howard University, receiving its charter from that institution in 1915. During the eleven years of its existence, its growth has been rapid, until now, it has forty chapters in the leading colleges and universities of the country, such as Howard, Moharry, Temple, Union, New York, Lincoln, Pa.; Shaw Wiley, Mortg. Brown, and Chicago Universities. The sister organization, the Zeta Phi-Beta, organized in 1919, has twelve chapters, also in the leading universities.
The honorary roster of the organization includes such outstanding men as James Weldon Johnson, press cut Splinkg medalist, poet and N.A. A. C. P. Secretary; Judge Torrell, the first Negro judge appointed in this country, and the late Dr. Chas. E. Turtier, eminent Negro scientist and former Summer School teacher.
The fraternity stands for racial advancement, civic improvement and scholarship; and its personnel includes only outstanding men, who are either making their mark in life or have reached the goal.
Each year this fraternity gives a scholarship to the student of any school who submits the best thesis upon a prescribed subject. It was the first of the Negro fraternities to initiate the Interfraternal council.
The fraternity has also initiated "Clean Speech Week," a movement designed to improve speech, particularly among the youth.
The annual convention will be held at Union University, Richmond Virginia, December 27, this year.

THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, NOV. 20, 1925
A large and appreciative audience of music lovers and friends assembled at the beautiful Poro Auditorium last Tuesday night, to greet Lemmoyne G. Amoureux on his first visit to St. Louis, since his removal to Chicago. He was given a most cordial and enthusiastic reception.
Mr. Amoureux's beautiful, lyric tenor voice, has been improved by intelligent training, and that too, not at the expense of its musical quality, as is sometimes the case.
His program was well arranged, and was varied and entertaining throughout. Two operatic arias, one in Italian and the other in French, were understandingly interpreted. To many the group of religious selections were the most appealing, which suggests that he might add some Negro spirituals to his repertory as most recitalists are now doing.
Miss Ruth Harris gave effective support as his accompanist. The piano selections by Miss Virginia Rowan were well rendered. The violin playing of Miss Lucille Levy was a surprise and revelation to most of the audience. Under proper butelage, a brilliant future awaits her, if she continues with her instrument.
Mrs. Maggie V. Cannon entertained in a most satisfactory manner with two humorous readings.
The male quartette, under the inspiration of its old leader, Mr. Amoureux, carried the house, by storm. A real demonstration followed its singing and berg were many recalls. The other members of the quartette were Ernest Grady, Reuben McWorter and Sam Duke.
The choir of All Saints Church, with additional singers furnished by Miss Grazia Corneal, president of the Negro Musical Association, sang the "Hallahijah Chorus" from the Messiah. The concert was the best of the kind that has been given in St. Louis for many a day, and was for the benefit of the Musk Department of All Saints Church.

ST. LOUIS TABORIANS
BANQUET SIR HERRIFORD
Thursday evening, Nov. 12, was the second annual banquet of the St. Louis Aramona, Knights and Daughters of Tabar, at the beautiful West Phil Hotel. Rain was no blinding to the one hundred Taberians and their friends who assembled in 'an array of colors that fashioned the season' latest styles.
All parts of the reception hall was filled with merriment—and laughter. The climax of the whole situation came when the Chief Grand Montessi, Sig Joe E. Herriford, descended the stairs in an evening attire. There was a hearty greeting of welcome extended to him by all present, including visitors.
At the sounding of the dinner gourds the doors to the picture squares dining room, with the color scheme was the National colors, were thrown open, and the guests were escorted in by the District Deputy and Chief Grand Scribe, Dr. Jas A. Rainey.
After all the guests had been seated, the Rev. Joe Hunt invoked the divine blessing. Sir Kidney, noting as Master of Ceremonies, stated that the banquet was in honor of the C. G. M. and those Sir Knights and Daughters who were visiting in the city.
The Program
A cordial welcome was extended by Dtr. Bertha Rhodes, P. G. H. P. The response was made by Dtr. Corinne B. Thomas, P. G. H. P. of St. Charles. A brief history of the order including the works of the various C. M. was given by Dtr. Helen Roberts. Other timely and faithful remarks were made by Sir Chas. W. Dixon, Chief Arcanum; Dtr. Ethel Smith, and one of the oldest H. E.'s, Dtr. Theresa Bell. After a few preliminary remarks, we were introduced to the Shaper of Taborian Destiny, Sir Joe E. Herriford. His address carried much wholesome and valuable information. St. Louis was praised for the manner in which he was being entertained. He was very much elated over the whole affair.
The out of town guests present were Dtr. Corinne B. Thomas, P. G. H. P. of St. Charles; Dtr. Muggle Lee of Molerly, and Sir Thompkins, A. C. G. S. of Mexico.

Y. M. C. A. ACTIVITIES
The National Father and Son Week was duly celebrated in a number of local centers during the week of November 9th to 15th.
At The Churches
Several of the large churches observed Father and Son go-to-church Sunday with a special service and sermon on Sunday 15th. First Baptist and All Saints Episcopal held Father and Son Banquets and they as well as Antioch Baptist, St. James A. M. E. St. Paul, A. M. E. Centennial Christian, and several other churches observed the go-to-church emphasis at the regular morning service.
At The Y M C A
The Fifth Annual celebration at Fifth Street Y. M. C. A. was a great success. The Sunday afternoon "Father and Son Mass Meeting" at which Mr. Frank L. Williams spoke to some two hundred fathers and sons was held on the 8th. "Father and son relations" were discussed in all of the clubs and classes of the Boys' Division during the week and the Fifth Annual Father and Son Banquet was a real pleasure and inspiration to a large number of fathers and sons.
The "Y" Banquet
Due to the limited space of conducting the "mixer" the matter of numbers could not be stressed at this year's father and son banquet at the "Y" however what ever the meeting lacked as to numbers, it cretinally did not lack as to the quality of the group and the excellency of the program. Only 85 happy fathers and sons took part in the sing-song and fun games of the "mixer" which preceded the banquet itself. Everybody was a boy again and had a good time. After the "mixer" they marched down to the Boys' Lobby where they were greeted by two long charmingly decked tables and one for the speaker. As soon as seated they were efficiently served by eight well-trained waiters. And as soon as Mr. R. B. and Master R. B. Hayman had offered two very fitting prayers the joys of good cooking were delighted in all. The program then followed was delightful and of educational as well as inspirational value. A discussion of "A Father and His Son's Job" was led by Mr. E. G. Higgins and participated in by the fathers and sons with enthusiasm. Dr. J. E. White acted as assistant and saw to it that everybody had a real happy time.
Hez Heck says: "A fool is a feller whose ignorance continues to grow on him without any interruption."
Hez Heck says: "As a man gills older, he sort o' wishes flag; his parents had waited longer before gittin married."

Mayor Porter is the author of the play.
FORECASTS HIGH PRICES FOR TURKEYS THIS YEAR
FORECASTS HIGH PRICES FOR TURKEYS THIS YEAR
ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 18—It is probable that there will be no shortage of turkeys for Thanksgiving this year. Commissioner Borne A. Pyrke of the State Department of Farms and Markets said Monday. Pointing out that it was difficult to predict prices, the Commissioner asserted that the expectation among poultry dealers seem to be that turkeys will be slightly higher this year than they were last season. Latest advice indicated he contributed "that wholesale prices will be about 10 to 50 cents a pound for stock. This is equivalent to a retail price of from 60 to 65 cents for first quality birds." Reports from Texas, the largest turkey producing State, indicate an outing of 900,000 carcass, as compared with 1,400 carcasses in 1924. On the other hand, the Northwest and Pacific Coast turkey supply is larger this year than usual.

Luterman was killed when the machine plunged over an embankment and turned turtle. Long ran from the scene when Constable Charles Barahart approached to investigate and fell into a mutilation. He never came up and his body has not been found
WINS $468.70 JUDGMENT AGAINST INSURANCE CO.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.. Nov. 18—Harris Sanders, a paralyzed Negro, won out in a fight, here for the payment, of a policy by the Casualty Insurance Company of Tennessee (white). He was awarded a judgment of $468.70 against the insurance company in Judge Marvin Harris's Circuit Court.
Appearance of Sanders lying on a stretcher apparently had its weight with the jury, as the verdict represented the full amount of the claim asked for in the petition. The suit was filed against the insurance company by Sanders who alleged that judgment was due on a health and ac-

MARTIN AND WALKER'S SHOW IS DELIGHTFUL AMUSEMENT AT BOOKER WASHINGTON
Martin and Walker have surrounded themselves with a talented bunch of performers and are giving the Booker Washington Theatre patrons a peppy musical comedy revue this week. The comedy is centered on the doings of these two fun makers and they are in it up to their necks most of the time, trying to impersonate a noted theatrical producer and his secretary. They introduce the idea of selling contracts to prospective performers and have a hard time keeping each other from stealing the cash. They also have stretches of fun making that includes a novel division of their spoils from gambling and a screamingukele dance.
There are a number of nifty song and dance specialties. Sylvia Mitchell is the sweet singer of the company and scores a hit with "Honest and Truly" and "Because They All Love You." Babe Brown is the life of the crowd and her songs, "Am I To Hame," and "Sweet Georgia Brown," are big winners. Lawrence Nash, the straight man, is also a good dancer. Slim Howard goes over big by singing, "All Alone" and putting over some humorous biologue. Leslie Taylor and Christine Russell are featured in "Fikelee Lady." Margaret Watkins in "Log Cabin Days," andillian Barker in "Back To Charleston." Most of the song numbers have the support of a chorus of comedy girls who have good voices and dabble gracefully.
The show, as a whole, is a top match entertainer.
**MARRIAGE AT THE BOOKER NEXT WEEK**
Four good vandettile acts have been booked for the Booker, Washington Theatre next week. Glasse and Glaseo will present their latest creation "Pages From Life"; Margie Jones, a new Columbia record star, will offer some of her most popular hits. Sam Theard, comedian is chuck full of fun, Hampton and Hampton, have a round of song, dance and merriment. Monday will be "Day Day" and some big fat hens will be included for Thanksgiving. A special matinee will be given at 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day; and the Juvenile "Charleston" Contest will be staged on Friday.
GEORGE' MCCLENNON AND HIS VIOLIN WITH HARRY STEPPENS
SHOW AT GAYETY NEXT WEEK
George McClellon America's colored comedian and his laughing clarinet will be seen again this year with Harry Steppe's big show "O, K." This is the attraction that Sam Scrubber president of the Columbia Amusefit Company selected for their New York house. The Columbia, for an summer run, McClellon is in a class by himself and is assisted by his charming wife. There is no other colored comedian on the Columbia, circuit that can make the audience roar like. McClellon and as an artist on his clarinet he stands alone. Harry Steppe has an organization this year that surpasses any burlesque show playing the Gayetey. Mr. Steppe got his tuterage through the well-known producer, Henry W. Savage. This attraction is billed for that popular play house on the corner, "The Gayetey" of next month beginning Sunday matinee.
THE PICTURE THEATRES
The evils of gambling and how it almost broke up a happy newly-wedded couple: how it eventually caused the hero and heroine to work out their own salvation, forms the motif of "The Wheel" at the Conect Theatre this Saturday. In the east are Clarey, Adams, Harrison Ford, Margaret Livingston, Mabon Ford and others. Kim Tit Tin, the dog star, will be featured in "Below this Line" on Sunday. Dorothy Devone and Matt Moore in "How Baxter Butted In" on Monday. Bebe Daniels in "Wild" Wild Susan" and Peter Morrison in "On Shot Ranger" on Tuesday; Wallace Beery in "Richard the Lionhearted" on Wednesday.
The Trouble With Wives will be presented on Thanksgiving Day. It is a confront clash between husband and wife for the control of the home. The picture is very human and very harsh. Sterling, Modris, Florence Victor and Eather Ralston are the featured players.
"The Pony Express" will be featured next Friday and Saturday. The plot centers about the pony express riders who maintained communication between the East and West in the early days of 1880. The country was at that time undergoing a tianic jihad until eventual due to the slavery issue and extremous efforts were being made to swing California to the Southern cause. It was largely then the instrumentality of the Pony Express that the Golden State was saved to the Union cause. Betty Compson, Cortez, Torrence and Berry are in the east.
THE STAR
This Friday and Saturday will be the last chance to see Norma Shearer and Lou Cajney in "The Tower of Lies" at the Star Theatre.
On Sunday "The Awful Truth" will be presented. Agnes Ayres is the star in this story based on jealousy. While still on his honeymoon the husband is seized with pangs of jealousy when he finds his wife's former friends are still paying court to her. Returnings from a business trip he finds his wife, though no fault of hers, in a compromising situation with another man and he demands that she divorce him. This is only the beginning of an absorbing love story.
Lester Cunco will be seen in "Ridlin Fool" on Monday. Dorris Kenyon and James Reunie head the cast in "Restless Wires" on Tuesday. Helen Holmes and William Desmond have an expose of the liquor trade in "Barriers of the Law" on Wednesday. "Wires" will be pre

Marlow, the feature picture, at the Criterion Theatre this Saturday, Norma Talmadge in "Grainstark" will be the Sunday special. It is a poignant story of love and intrigue in a mythical kingdom in Southern Europe, which has been modernized to the dens of the new generation. "A Little Girl in a Big City," the startling revelation of the dangers and pitfalls of a large city, will be
shown on Tuesday. "The Haunted Woman" will be the Wednesday special. It is a story of life in the cold north, with Seena Owen in the leading role. On Thanksgiving, Buck Jones will be seen in "Durand of the Bad Lands" the daring exploits of a beloved outlaw. "The Trouble With Wives" will be shown next Friday.
THE VENUS
Richard Dix in "The Lucky Devil" will be the Venus Theatre special this Saturday.
Laura La, Plante in "The Teaser" will be the leading feature on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It is a litling comedy romance laid about a pretty girl's pendant for flirting, a love affair with a cigar salesman and the opposition of an aristocratic family—and the struggles of the nicotine peruvier to learn etiquette and place himself on the plane of the social butterfly he adores. There are comic tribulations galore when her flirtations arouse angry wives and an equally angry lover but a very surprising document makes it all turn out in the end. Harold Lloyd in "Never Weaken" will be the screaming comedy feature.
A thrilling story of love and adventure on land and sea "The Night Ship" will be shown on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, with a special matinee on Thaissgiving Day,
will have a double feature. Eleanor Boardman leads a strong cast in "The Cirde," a picture of tungled romance in society's innermost places. Buddy Roosevelt will be seen in "Cyclone Buddy," a rough riding romance with plenty of action and thrills.
THE OLYMPIA
Thomas Meighan and Virginia Vall are the stars in "The Man Who Fouled Himself," at the Olympic Theatre this Saturday. It is a small serious tale of a happy-go-lucky son of a small town banker who shoulders the blame when his younger brother loses heavily in Wall Street and then borrows bank funds to "cover up." The result is a sojourn in Sing, Sing. When he once more faces the light of freedom, Tom's outlook on life has been completely changed. Another special will be "Ranch Law."
"The Mystic" will be shown on Sunday. The story is a delightful romance between an American crook and a fake gypsy mystic with whom he conspires to rob a rich American girl of a vast fortune in jewels and bonds. The story exposes the work of crooked mediums and shows how many of their tricks are performed. It is delightfully played by a huge cast featuring Aileen Pringle and Conway Tearle. A western, "Lone Hand Tex," will also be shown. Other features for the week will include "Before Midnight," on Monday; "Rugged Waters," on Tuesday; "Wild Wild Susan," and Fairbanks in a western, on Wednesday; and "The Half-Way Girl," on Thanksgiving day.
THE·CASINO
"Steel of the Royal Mounted" will be the Casino Theatre special Saturday. It is a clean, vivid melodrama of the North Woods that ought to thrill anybody to the depths. It is one of the most exciting photophys of the season, and it is creatively acted by a cast that includes Bert Lyttle, Charlotte Merrifam and Stuart Holmes. Bob Custer will be featured in "No Man's Law." on Sunday. It is a tense and interesting depiction of life along the Mexican border, as it was such time as the great pioneers who flung back the frontiers of our country were carrying out their rugged ideals of honor, chivalry and devotion.
"Barriers of the Law" will be the Monday special. "The Gambling Fool" and "The Happy Warrior" will be Tuesday's co-specials. "Sun-'t'p" will be presented on Wednesday. The Thanksgiving special will be Wally Wales in "The Hurricane Horsesman". "Friendly Enemies" and Tom Mix in "The Man, From Texas" will be shown next Friday.
THE LINCOLN
"Wings of Youth" will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre this Saturday. It tells a striking story of a mother's love for her daughters, long dormant because of her lack of interest in their every day lives. The mother's awakening is polignant in appeal and her method of whisking her erring girls from the whirl of the bright lights makes the production most interesting and unusual.
"The Coming of Amos" will be shown on Sunday. The story starts in Australia, with Rod La Roeque on a sheep ranch. With breath-taking sadness it sweeps to the gay Riviera and a life of ease and luxury such as he has never dreamed of. There he meets the beautiful Russian princess, with whom he falls desperately in love, and also the crafty and powerful villian played by Noah Beery. The perils and dangers that beset him in his courtship of the exotic Russian woman make up the high lights of this highly thrilling and breathtaking screen narrative. Other features for the week will be "The Ranger of the Big Pines," on Monday; "The Slandersers," on Tuesday; "The Girl of Gold," and "The Man In Blue," on Wednesday; "Graustark" on Thanksgiving day, with a continuous show from 2 o'clock; and "Let's Go Gallagher" next Friday.
THE RETINA
Töm Mix will be featured in "The Golden Thought" at the Retina Theatre this Saturday. Wally Wates will be seen in "Tearin' Loose" on Sunday. The picture starts out with a bang and there is never a hull in the five reels. It is action from the start to finish with a good human interest theme and well placed comedy touches. There are feats of horsemanship that cause one to gasp and there are enough rough and tumble fights to satisfy the most critical searcher of thrills.
The week's program will have
"Three Wise Crooks" on Monday;
"The Shield of Silence" on Tuesday;
"The Timber Wolf" on Wednesday;
"The Calgary Stampede" on Thanksgiving, and "Selege" next Friday.

Nonunion men are recruiting only 65 cents an hour and the main men have been required to accept a job to that figure. A comprehensive offer of 70 cents has been tentatively accepted.

STUDENTS COMPLAIN OF N. C. SCHOOL CONDITIONS
GREENSBORO, N. C. Nov. 18—Students of the local colored high school have voiced a strong protest inadequacy of its facilities for teaching. A letter containing threats of a strike ambush the conditions are improved has been forwarded to superintendent of the schools, Fred Archer. The complaint made, is that the facilities in the high school are so poor that its graduates are unable to enter college. The Board of Education has been asked to supply the school with a science laboratory. The white have complained that the colored school is better equipped than the majority of theirs.

President of the Negro State Teachers' Association. The many friends and admirers of Dr. Young say it was a vote of confidence as well as an endorsement of the educational program of Dr. Young for Lincoln University, Prof. Frank L. Williams, Principal of Summer High, who was also a candidate for the presidency, was badly defeated in the race, receiving, it is said, only about thirty votes out of more than three hundred teachers in attendance. Whereupon, the yolk was made unanimous for Dr. Young.
Other officers elected were: Miss Zenobin Shoulders' vice. St. Louis; Prof. E. S. Williams, vice. St. Louis (2 elected); Prof. H. O. Cook, secretary, Kansas City; Miss Ebelyn Heard, assisting secretary, St. Louis; Miss Dayso F. Baker, treasurer, Farkington; Prof. Lionel Turner, statistician, Marshall; Prof. R. H.

Supt. Lee's Address
Susan, a public School, Big
Hole Chas, A. Lee in his address
before the Association, made a profound
impression upon his hearsay as to his
sincerity of purpose in trying to improve
school conditions in the state
for the colored children. He said in
part:
"I have given the problem of Negro education much thought. It is a serious question. The Negro is not here from choice. That does not matter, but that the Negro is here is the problem, is the pertinent case at point. I sincerely believe an educated person regardless of color, will do any piece of work better if educated than if ignorant. It is a gross waste to deny Negroes the right of an education because they are American citizens, and every American citizen is guaranteed the right of free schools. Education socializes anyone and increases their efficiency. If we deny the Negro an education, it means in practice we do not believe in the results which education is intended to produce. Therefore, if we wish the Negro to grow in value as a citizen we must provide him with good educational facilities. We cannot ask him to move about seeking schools, but provide some means of educating the Negro children with the least difficulty to the family. A measure which would have largely accomplished this failed of passage in the last General Assembly.
As one who believes a democracy composed of many races must serve to offer like educational advantages to everyone, I concluded the first step in bettering Negro education was to provide the best teacher possible in each school room. With this in mind the Department of Education asked the Legislature to appropriate funds to establish summer schools for Negroes. The money was allowed and five summer schools were established. These schools were located near the greatest Negro population centers, required no outlay of money to attend, and the faculty in each case was made up of those who were professionally successful and well trained as teachers. Boards of education provided buildings and furnished janitor service free. It is needless to say the experiment was highly successful and I predict if properly managed will be one a permanent part of the Missouri school system. These summer schools and Lincoln University will do much to provide good teachers, and every child is entitled to a good teacher. However, much yet remains to be done for Negro education and not the least among these to do all we can to prompt the Negroes to help themselves, thus establishing self-confidence. In the near future I predict we shall see rapid marks of progress in their education.
"We have 1,500 Negro teachers in Missouri; they are receiving small salaries. Needfully I am interested in these teachers laying just as good opportunities as can be provided in order that they may discharge their duties as teachers to the children under their direction. Every child in the State is entitled to a well trained teacher. Without this asset a school does not fulfill the needs of the community. There is no reason why the Negro teachers should not have opportunities whereby to avail themselves of such training. As I have previously mentioned, this was partly cared for this summer by Lincoln University and the five summer schools established for the first time last summer.
If Lincoln University is to be developed, there must be a good chemistry and high school system for Negroes all over the state. The institution must be kept out of partisan politics. The present Board of Curators is anxious to place this school upon the list of accredited secondary schools and colleges in the North Central Association. The Board has reduced the number of teachers, so that they could increase the salaries and hire the best persons available. The scale is now $3,000 for a person of experience with the M.A. degree.
"Under our present law, school facilities cannot be played within the reach of many because there are not enough in many districts to establish a school. The law requires an enumeration of 15, and an average daily attendance of 8. However, as stated before, legislation which would have provided for this situation failed in the last Legislature. I am sure that legislation will provide for this in the near future. I shall sponsor any sort of legislation which will better the educational needs of the colored people of the State. The Negro lives in Missouri, and as a citizen of this State it is but right and proper that he should receive the attention which education, provided by the State for all persons regardless of their race will give him."
The next annual session will be held in Kansas City, Mo.

How about you? I have reason to believe you were nice and warm. If you weren't it wasn't my fault!"
"Honeybunch, you are not going to leave me and go all the way to Hartford. Are you, dehr? Of course you are not, because if you did, really I wouldn't know what to do."
One of Leonard's letters to Alice read:
Friday. Beach Haven House.
Your nice letter has just reached me and I am taking a few minutes to tell you how glad I am to hear from you, as a matter of fact, I am always glad to hear from you and to be with you. I hope you think the same of me, however, that is for you to decide and not for me.
Well, dear, what did you think of our ride last night in the "Pullman train?" To tell the truth, I was never quite so cold in all my life. How about you? I have every reason to believe that you were nice and warm. If you wren't it wasn't my fault!
Dearest, I hope some night you will come to Stamford with me alone. I know that you would have come last evening if Carl hadn't been there. The reason I asked him was because I thought you had arranged a party with Kittle.
Alice you simply must come to the wedding. That's all there is about it. I know very well if you still like me you will do this favor for me. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you, and you know that perfectly well, so please, dear, come.
Carl and I will be down on Sunday night around 5:30 to take supper with you. Get hold of Kittie so Carl will have somebody. I hate to see him alone. I wonder if you really are going to stay in Friday and Saturday nights? Much love as ever, LEONARD.
P. S.—It's "awful" to be away from you two nights!
Makes Admissions
Among the damaging admissions drawn from Kip, the following have stood out:
Asserting that he was suing on his own volition, he admitted turning over more than $283,000 in securities to Leon Jacobs, personal counsel for his father, Phillip Rhinelander, the realty magnate.
Shown the bill of particulars supporting the annulment action, he confessed to signing five false statements in four paragraphs.
Confronted by ten letters and a telegram to his wife, before their marriage, he admitted he was the pursuer and she the pursued in their romance and that his primary object was not marriage.
Confronting himself and other witnesses on many important points, he almost broke down at one stage of the proceedings, at times stammering himself into silence.
He confessed that it was his father who had forced him to leave his wife.

Community Fund Campaign Now Up To Citizens
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE
600 needed for service by the fifty agencies in the Community Fund during 1926 that colored people would participate to the extent of about $251,000 in the service rendered by the different agencies. Mr. Street emphasized the need of the closest co-operation of all team workers for success of the campaign. Following instruction from the Division Chairman, Attorney Daniel W. Bowles, the workers selected prospect cards from a special list of givers to former campaigns and others who were expected to contribute, and the campaign was on its way. The report meetings each evening have shown continued interest on the part of the citizens in the campaign. However, the greatest effort possible is needed from now until the close of the campaign to insure success. "Pep" talks have been given by various members of
the Executive Committee and Board members of different agencies including, Miss Arsania Williams, Mrs. T. J. Navins, Mrs. B. Lavine, Jas. L. Usher, J. E. Mitchell, F. L. Williams and Rev. H. H. Jackson. Last Sunday ministers in practically all of the churches emphasized the Community Fund and presental speakers to their congregations telling of the wonderful work of the different Community Fund agencies. A special appeal to the churches will be made again this coming Sunday. Every citizen who has not contributed to the Community Fund should do so between now and next Monday night. It may be that your friend or relative will benefit by our gift to the Community Fund. Let every one of us give enough during this drive to finance human service in St. Louis during 1926.

Where all is peaceful quiet and still,

And in the corner upon the hearth,
Yawns the kitty sleeping;
And the children glowing with mirth,
By the light of the fireside keeping.
By the fireside on the road,
And from the window shining;
Journeys the traveler with his load,
And sees the blue-blaze twining.
Many a lie is more plausible than

SIKI TO MEET JIM LONDOS
Negro Will Make Start In Fight For Heavyweight Wrestling Crown
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 18--
The eyes of all the followers of the wrestling world will be turned towards this city next Monday night, Nov. 23, when Reginald Sikic, the Negro challenger for the crowns of Stecher and Zybrsky, will make his first steps toward the achievement in meeting Jim Londos, the Greek heavyweight wrestler.
Londos, the most popular maximum ever to appear in Los Angeles since he gave the long-legged champion, Stecher, the battle of his career last week, is one heavyweight who has not drawn the color line or left town, since the huge Abyssinian made his defy the world in general and the heavyweight grapplers in particular, but his name on the dotted line when it begins certainly that Stecher would not agree to meet him again. Southern California that enthusiasts are expecting to see Jim try his luck at insurring the Negro's head with his famous reverses headkick; but followers of Skii doubt that he will do it.
"Yellow" Fighters Draw Color Line
Associated Negro Press
PHILADELRIA, Pa., Nov. 18-
Every once in a while there is some talk about the color line in boxing, and the idea is given out that the sporting public does not like to see white boxers beaten by race fighters.
The migration of the many thousands of white people to this city from the south is the occasion for this article.
As long as a man can fight well and fight clean, the white fight fans of this city care little what his color is. The so-called color line is only drawn by boxers who are afraid they will be beaten if they fight a colored man. Take the colored boxers who have appeared in this city, not a long time back, but within the past few months.
There is Lee Anderson, for instance. He came here a stranger and in his first match, a mixed one, he met Ad. Stone, a white boy. It was a dandy scrap and a clean one. When they left, the ring Anderson got as much applause as Stone did. Anderson then fought Tex McEwan, another white boy. The former was too strong for the Canadian and the fight had to be stopped. Anderson fought a clean fight with McEwan and when the spectators saw that he was taking advantage of McEwan they applauded Anderson. Liberally. Then Anderson put up a poor fight with Tiger Flower and lost much of his popularity in this city.
Take the case of this same Tiger Flowers. There was no objection when he fought a white boy named Hughey Clements, a New Jersey heavyweight, and there was nothing said about the color line. It was a one-sideed match and did not last very long. Flowera is still a favorite in this city and would no doubt box here frequently if the right sort of opponents could be found to go up against him.
Still later a little chap, Black Bill, a Cuban, came here, and gave Davis, g white boy, a hard time. There was no kick from the fight fans and no mention about any color line. The scrap was a fast one and Davis got the decision, but many of the fans though Black Bill won, and they did not hesitate to say so.
When Johnny Mossy, boxed Clonie Tate, a white boy, at the Armory sometime ago there was no talk about the color line and the fans took it is a matter of course when the Canadian won the decision. There is Jerry Hayes, another race fighter of this city, who is very popular among the white fans, and they will pack any house when he fights. He gives them a run for their money. He is billed to fight Vincent Lopez, a white fighter, on Thursday night at the Broadway Club.
George Godfrey has boxed several white men in this city. He met Tom Crowler and Joe White, both white among others, and there was no objection to these matches, although they were easy for the colored boy, he got through without hurting them seriously, and his work, instead of getting the public down on him on the color line, was so pleasing that Godfrey became one of the best box office attractions in this city.
At the old Adelphia Club the promoters tried men like Mickey Walker, the white welterweight champion of the world, Lew Tender, Roby Barret, and other famous white boxers, and they could not fill the seats. But when Godfrey, Siki, and many other race fighters appeared on the card in mixed matches the house could not hold the crowd.
So the local promoters have awakened to the fact that the only way to make money is to stage mixed houts. But it seems rather interesting when a bout between race fighters are on the cards. The white fans will let it be known that the men are stalling.
Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, is in this city at the Standard Theater. He draws as many people as the President of the United States.
BENNY HALL WINNING REGULARLY IN THE EAST
Benny Hall, St. Louis, crack ban-
tum boxer, has been winning regulary-
t in the East. Hall proved his right
to the nom de plume of "Western
Wildrind" Nov. 7, when he won
over Wilbur Cohen. In the feature six-round bout at the Ridgewood Grove, N. J. The Harlem Hurricane, apt title given Cohen by light enthusiasts, was not quick enough for the "Whirlwind" and lost on a decision in one of the fastest bouts seen of late at the Grove. While the battle waged with unstinted fury right to the end, Hull was never in danger. He held the upper hand through the six speedy rounds and a last-minute rally on the part of Cohen failed to overcome the colored battler's lead. Benny's next victim was on the 14th when he won a six-round decision from Jackie Syder of Brownville. It was a slugging contest. Last Monday night, Hull, in Brooklyn, battered his way to a twelve-round decision over Hilly Levine, Coney Island favorite, at New Broadway Arena.
It was a gory battle. Levine finished looking like an autumn sunset. He sustained a badly incarcerated lower hip early in the fight and bled throughout.
It was a battle of left hands and Hall's was the best. The St. Louis outboxed Levine at every turn. He tired badly after the bomb had gone six rounds and Hall closed with a haunting exclamation. Insured him the verdict.
Hall weighed 419 and Levine 123½.
The little St. Louis boxer will be home. Thanksgiving for a short visit with his St. Louis friends. He is also scheduled for another match this Friday night.
GUS MOORE TRIUMPHS OVER 250 BOY RUNNERS
N. Y. High School Star Takes Columbia
Chase And New Kirby, Cub. His
NEW YORK. Nov. 18—Augustus Moore, sterling cross-country runner of Boys' High School, Brooklyn, scored the crowning victory of his wonderful season yesterday morning when he proved the best of a record field of more than 250 in the annual Columbia University interscholastic chase, held over a course of about two and one-quarter miles in Van Cortlandt Park. In that field of more than 250 young harriers were twenty-five teams representing schools in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but not one in the great pack, which stretched out over more than half a mile at the finish, quite equaled the running ability, strength and speed of the Little Negro star.
Moore made the race the occasion of his fifth consecutive victory this Fall, and, as he has in the past, scored impressively. He raced over the finish line in 12 minutes 16 1-5 second, believed to be the fastest time ever made for this thirteen-year-old fixture. And at the finish Moore, as befits a conqueror, was the freshest of the field. He won easing up, looking back over his shoulder across the parade grounds of the park where, as far as the eye could see, youngsters straggled home at the finish of their journey, thoughts of personal triumph gone, fighting and struggling onward in the hope of improving the chances of their respective teams.

Colored Citizens Bring Suit Because of Inequalities. Ask That. Taxes Be Lifted
JACKSON, Miss. Nov. 18.—Colored citizens lost a fight against discrimination practiced by a school board in this state. Tuesday, when the state supreme court affirmed the decision of the Chincery court of Covington county, in the case of F. B. Bryant et al, vs. W. J. Barnes, involving the constitutionality of the consolidated schools of Mississippi. Unconstitutional administration of the law was charged in that there was discrimination against Negroes.
In 1912 the county school board of Covington county created a Consolidated school district in certain territory in that county known as the Calhoun Consolidated School District, and under the statute levied an extra tax upon the property of the district for maintaining the school beyond the regular term, and giving other sriffery privileges. The school was for whites.
Unequal Distribution
Several years thereafter, colored citizens petitioned the school board to create a colored school district out of a described territory lying mainly in the limits of the same district, but not altogether. In this colored district all of the property was owned by segroes, and no white people lived within its territorial limits. Their petition was granted and a tax of ten mills was levied for the support of the school.
Subsequently the colored people petitioned the school board to change the boundary of the district so as to eliminate therefrom the territory of the Negro school, which the board refused to do. The race citizens then applied to the board of supervisors for a division of the tax raised by the white school, which was also refused. The suit sought to enjoin the tax collector from collecting tax in that the colored citizens were being discriminated against. The bill was dismissed by the court below and its action sustained by the Supreme court.

THE PEOPLE'S PAPER
PART TWO
CRIME BORN OF MALADJUSTMENT SAYS MR. DARROW
Heredity, Environment, Lack of Training and Poverty Cause Most Persons to Go Wrong.
FITNESS WILL SAVE ONE
Not Punishment, But Prevention Urged As the Best Solution For the Diminishing of Criminals
DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 18—Clarence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer, in a lecture on "Crime and Criminals," delivered Sunday at the Casa Technical High School, blamed Heredity, environment, unequal distribution of wealth and mechanized methods of Education for the cause of most of the crime in the United States today.
Outgrowth of Maladjustment
Darrow gave a thorough analysis of crime and its cause, and stressed some methods of remedy for the evil. In "striking home" his points, Darrow stated:
"Crime is the outgrowth of individual maladjustment." Darrow declared. The first is heredity, over which the individual has no control. Next in importance is early environment, likewise beyond our control. Modify the two with poverty or routified education that falls to fit a child for the battle of life and crime is the natural result."
In the final analysis, Darrow contended crime is merely a divergence and cannot be measured by rigid ethical moral standards.
He holds civilization to be in a state of constant flux, with religion and conscience as visible expressions of momentary morality. Right and wrong are indefinable terms in his philosophy.
"The habits and customs of any given age provide the background for the crime of that period," he asserted.
"Crime is a violation of social habits that have been elevated to the statute books and is not necessarily concerned with right or wrong. Society for its own protection, demands conformity, and anti-social people must pay the penalty."
Just Punishment
"Just how to punish those who wander away from the rest of the flock has always been a big problem. No punishment is ever justified unless it does one or both of two things: It should reform the criminal himself, and it should act as a deterrent for others.
"No punishment should ever be in a spirit of anger and hatred, but in the spirit, in which we isolate sick people in hospitals. A criminal is mentally sick, and should be treated as such. A human being is the product of countless outside forces beyond his control. We wouldn't think of punishing a man for a physical deformity, such as being crossed-eyed, yet we want to kill him if a single cell in countless miles of nerves becomes deranged." Darrow urged that crime be indicted in the same manner, as typhoid fever. He recalled the ancient custom of beating typhoid victims, they being considered as "possessed of the ticks" and compared it with the modern method of preventing the disease by sanitary precautions.
Preventive Methods Best
"Some day we will discard our foolish old system of punishment, probably retained because of the 'kick' we get out of it, and spend our energies on punishment. Of course, it would be able to expect complete harmony, but most crimes, especially those of property, can be materially reduced in number.
"There must be a more equitable social alignment, with neither extreme wealth nor extreme poverty. When labor has more ease, more comforts, and better living conditions general, crime is bound to be lessened. Nothing but pure stupidity prevents us from getting at this fundamental cause.
Education Remedy
"Education offers the other major remedy. Children must be taught to make a living and to fill a useful place in life. Everyone can't be an intellectual, for workers must work with their hands which is "considably, more important than parsing sentences. Every child should be educated to the extent of his special tendencies and inclinations. Given such a start, a boy or girl can meet the world on its own terms and the likelihood of a criminal career is materially lessened."

$300,000 A YEAR TO AID COLORED FARMERS IN U. S
Governm't Extension Work
Teaches Better Farming
Methods. Agents Journey
All Over South.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 18.
Uace Sam spends $300,000 a year
to carry an extension work among
colored farmers under the auspices of
the Department of Agriculture, according to a bulletin just issued by J. A. Evans, assistant chief in the office of the cooperative extension work.
Counties in sixteen southern states
appropriate $48,000 for this work,
which includes actual installation for
men and boys, women and girls, by
agricultural agents who travel all
over the south.
Pratically all the Negro farm operators in the United States are located in the sixteen southern states. The census of 1920 enumerated more than 920,000 Negro farmers' operating approximately 27,000,000 acres of improved land in farms. In an effort to do more effective demonstration work among this large racial group of farmers, there has been slowly developed in most of these states an auxiliary extension force composed of Negro men and women agents' working exclusively among people of their own race.
Farm demonstration work began in the south in 1904. The first Negro agent was appointed in November, 1905, in cooperation with Tuskegee in cooperation. A few longer similar agent were appointed to work in Virginia in cooperation with Hampton Institute. The co-operating institutions are two of the leading Negro agricultural and industrial schools of the south. Because of their interest and influence Negro demonstration work in the beginning developed most rapidly in these states.
Government appropriations from the Smithfield funds and the United States department of Agriculture are based upon appropriations made by the state itself for this work.
For work among women, the state and counties appropriate $290. Uncle Sam gives $1,200, making a total of $5,588 for both sexes. States like Arkansas appropriate $13,600 for this county demonstration work and get a similar sum from the government. Total amounts expended by each of the sixteen southern states for farm demonstration purposes are: Alabama, $46,760; Arkansas, $7,031,83; Florida, $12,711,81; Georgia, $632,88; Michigan, $9,090,43; Louisiana, $17,051,51; Maryland, $5,888,34; Mississippi, $30,077,68; North Carolina, $23,555,58; Oklahoma, $27,098; South Carolina, $11,270,56; Tennessee, $13,146; Texas, $36,406,33; Virginia, $35,575,15; West Virginia, $18,821; office of cooperative extension work, $8,792,34.
The bulletin estimates that 100,000 farmers, one-ninth of all in south, left and went forth during the migration. These farm accounts last year report visits to 28,000 different farms, and 25,000 different homes. They held

Colored M. E. Churches Give Share To Send Educational Evangelistic And Medical Aid to Needy
DELEWARE, O., Nov. 18—The Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church received a total of $8,193,463 for its educational, evangelistic and medical service in more than forty countries of the world, during the year ending October 31, 1925. A large portion of this money came from the Colored Methodist Episcopal churches of the country.
"Africa, Asia and Europe, are at our doors. They can determine our needs by their diseases and their quarrels or they can help make a greater nation by their wealth of resources and friendship." Dr. Jones chairman of two commissions of educators and scientists, declared in addressing the board, which is in session here.
"Foreign missionary work such as that carried on by the Methodist Episcopal Church is making a distinct contribution to the welfare of the world," he continued.
"It is helping the peace and harmony of nations and aiding a better mutual understanding of the races of mankind," he said.
While actual receipts were greater than for the previous year by $1,000,000 the amount of money that can be appropriated to the mission fields this year under church laws is $50,000 less than last year, because $92,000 of this year's receipts were given for the express purpose of relieving heavy stress loss of the previous twelve months.
In addition to the total receipts to be distributed this year, $271,806 has been paid on the outstanding debt of the Board.
Expenditure of funds on foreign mission fields last year included: China, $673,000; Japan, Korea and Macaria, $268,000; Malaysia, the Philippines, Borneo, Java and Sumatra, $139,000; India, $726,000; Africa (Central and Southern), $186,000; Mexico and South America, $373,000; sixteen countries in Europe and North Africa, $881,000.

EDITOR'S NOTES
'EDUCATION"
It has often been said that education is the largest word in the vocabulary of life, because it symbolizes all the forces that have raised man from the plane of the brute. It comes from the Latin "educare," which means to lead forth, and in its broadest sense it signifies the bringing out and developing of all the powers of the individual.
There are two sorts of education—that obtained from the schoolroom and that obtained from the experiences of life. Samuel Johnson has said that knowledge is of two kinds, we know a subtle yourself or we know where we can find information upon it while Ballow contends that education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken, within the hearing of little, children tends towards the formation of character.
The tenderly, everywhere is more and more toward the extension of popular education. In 1918, England, though in the throes of the World War, passed a new education bill making its national school system more democratic. The same year saw a bill discussed in the U. S. Congress providing for appropriations to the Bureau of Education, whereby the Bureau could carry on intensive work with the various states and utterly stamp out illiteracy in the country. In normal times a boy with an elementary school education can hope to obtain a position that will pay him $2,000 a day. Those who have attended high school will work to positions averaging $100 a month. The college trained man may be earning many times that amount, for his mental equipment is far superior. The practical value of an education, however, is not its only favorable aspect. A liberal education opens any new fields of culture, and it gives the individual a greater capacity to enjoy the worthwhile things of life.
The fact that education is the development of all the powers of the individual is recognized in modern school system in their provisions for physical as well as intellectual training. Playgrounds and gymnasiums are also included in the equipment of the most up to date schools, and swimming pools are added to this equipment in many modern high schools. The time will come that whoever has no education will have difficulty in making a legitimate living. DISRUEL tells us that "The secret of success in a man's life is for him to be ready when the opportunity comes". We are branching out more and more in the economic and commercial fields and education is absolutely necessary. May the young people decide now on their field of effort so when the opportunity appears they will be
WHAT IS EDUCATION?
Education is not merely the acquiring of reading, writing and arithmetic; or any other book of knowledge. It is the gaining of knowledge which enables us to meet the problem of life, and books, are not all that is necessary to help us to do this.
All the problems of our daily life help to educate us. We may gain more helpful knowledge in one day from associating with some educated man, or observing some life experience, than we could ever gain from books. Of course books play a very important part in our daily life. A business man or woman must have book knowledge. All this kind of knowledge is gained in the class room in our schools and colleges. But I think the other phase of education is just as important. This education is the kind we acquire from the association with our parents in our homes, with our neighbors, with our teachers at school, association at. Sunday School and church, and coming in contact with all things of every day life.
By Kwame Aldey, Yard.
Education 'is one of the greatest a-levements that the Negro race can obtain. As years have passed, so has education become greater, thus developing a greater nation, and has developed men and women of great ideas to great ability; then the coming generations will be able to see what has been begun for them—a great nation and better people. Half a century ago would the people have thought that the world today would be as it is? No, for at that time many people were not able to read and write papers. Today, however, as time has passed, the progress of the Negro race has grown to a large extent, mentally. Time is passing, so is life, and the people are making a better and greater effort to secure better education that oncoming generations will ever strive for an education.
Without education would the world know of the many achievements we are acquiring? What would it be come with a world of illiterate people? It would soon pass away. Education is more important than wealth, for with an education money is easily secured. A world of ignorant, unlivelled people would mean ruin. We would not have beautiful buildings and a beautiful country if people were not educated. The Negro race today should work together, help each other, make themselves better and with the aid and effort of one another, there would be no difficulty in making a success.

FINEST TYPE OF COLORED STUDENTS AT ILLINOIS
Associated Negro Press
ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS
CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 18—The visitor to the University of Chicago at Champaign cannot be impressed by the fine type of young men and women who comprise the so-called student body there. The business-like way in which they handle their local affairs bespeaks great public careers for them upon their graduation. A typical illustration of the progress these sterling young men and women are making is found in Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi. Eurl B. Dickerson, Grand Polemarch of this organization, recently visited this chapter to learn, at first hand, just what the boys were doing. He found that they have, among themselves, raised sufficient funds to purchase a palatial chapter house, that they have remodelled this home on the strict college fraternity plan, adding a dormitory that will accommodate thirty young men; that all the members of this chapter are living in the home and are owning affairs with the same system and precision as the most select clubs are managed. They have inaugurated their own study period and selected upper classmen in all university subjects to coach freshmen who have not yet become adjusted to the college system. In this way they are forestalling possible failures and improving the scholarship of the organization.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. Nov. 18—Organized teachers defended local public school teachers who are charged by the Minneapolis Journal with "playing sick" to take advantage of their annual sick leave. The Journal makes this claim because 120 teachers took sick leave last year. No mention is made of 2,200 teachers who took no sick leave. "But why should even 120 teachers need the full 10 days' sick leave in a 10-month period?" asks the Federation of Teachers, in a statement to the Tribune.
"Is the taxpayer aware of conditions under which the teachers of his children work?" No grade teacher this year is allowed fewer than 33 pupils. These 33 or more must be taught reading, writing, arithmetic, geography possibly history, mathematics possibly math. In addition, the teacher must supervise the children's health habits, urge him to save and bank his money every week, stimulate an interest in the Red Cross, the community fund and various other drives.
"Furthermore, modern pedogogy stresses the need of recognizing individual differences. It is a task to know the individual mental quirks of one two, three or possibly four children. In order to keep us should sympathies with a teacher of 33 or more.
"The high school teacher has an equal burden.
"Teaching is like any other business in that it entails a high nervous tension which is exhausting, inasmuch as economy is in order, and rightfully so, we are of the opinion that the taxpayer should consider if he is economical when he sends his
KLAN MOVING NORTH AND DISCARDING DEMOCRATIC FOR REPUBLICAN CLOAK
Southern Political Leaders Want No More Of Hooded Alliance Which Fails To Bring New Support And Tends To Disrupt The Party
WASHINTON, Nov. 18—The local elections field throughout the nation on Nov. 4 had one highly important, insequence: They served to convoke leaders of both political parties that the Ku Klux Klan in politics has definitely ceased to be a Southern Democratic organization, and has definitely become a Northern Republican organization. This may startle the average citizen, but it was no surprise to the politicians in Washington. They had seen it coming for some time and many had made their own plans accordingly.
Latest Election Results
Take now the elections of Nov. 4. In the race for Governor of New Jersey, the Democratic nominee, Harry A. Moore, was arrogedly "wet" and unlikan. His Republican opponent, Arthur N. Whitney, received the support of both the Antisouthern League and the klan. Moore was elected.
In Indianapolis, the contest for Mayor was between John L. Durrell, Republican, who had the active support of the klan, and Walter Myers, Democrat, whom the klan fought.
Evidences of the klan's change of residence and its change of politics had been coming to attention - for more than a year, but were greatly multiplied by the recent local campaigns. Campaigns of the near future are expected to supply further proof, and at least one case is certain to attract national attention because it comes so near to President Coolidge. Accepted explanations of the klan's migration and conversion are simple and exasperatingly plausible. When stripped of the usant hokum they are plaintly seen to be based on practical considerations on all sides. Chief among them are the following:
Exodus Explained
1. Influential Democratic leaders in the South have turned "thumbs down" on the klan because it brings the party no new support, but on the contrary, divides and disrupts it both locally and nationally.
2. In Northern states where the normal strength of the two parties is closely matched, Republican leader have accepted klan support because it may constitute the balance that wins elections.
3. The Democratic party in the Northern states to a marked extent is composed of, and led by "wef" Catholic voters, natural enemies of the klan.
4. The klan's political activities have become increasingly identified with those of the Antislao League, which is almost invariably Republican in national politics.
It was in the south that the klan originated and attained its first considerable strength; hence in politics it was invariably Democratic. It was not long, however, until Democratic leaders discovered that it was a dangerous asset. It caused local discussions, and, more important still, created a wide breach between Southern and Northern Democrats—a breach which flamed into disorderly prominence at Madison Square Garden last year, and almost wrecked the conference lesson which party leaders learned from the inaugural experience was that there could be no united party so long as the klan remained an important factor in it. The die was cast when John W. Davis, the candidate for President, denounced the klan during his campaign.
Collapse In South
Its decline in the South had al-
ready begun. The Mer Rouge horror
and the firm antiklan stand taken by
Gov. Parker of Louisiana greatly
diminished its prestige in that section.
In Texas, where it almost gained
control of the State and was successful
in many minor elections, it finally
was brought to bay and decisively
whipped in the Democratic- primary
which resulted in the nomination of
Mrs. Miriam Ferguson for Governor.
In Arkansas its power reached formi-
dable dimensions about two years ago
under the leadership of a kangle who
in the kangle and in the Democratic
parry.
"He had since been indicted, and
that in a county regarded as a klan
stronghold and the organization is
in the dieedit there.
Although the klan was born in Alanta, and had its national headquarters there, it never arrived at anything like control of the State, the chief tangible result of its efforts being the enactment of a law for compulsory Bible reading in the schools. This law was roundly denounced a few weeks ago at a convention of county and city school superintendents at Savannah. Imperial Wizard Hiram Evans recently moved his headquarters from Atlanta to Washington, where the klan's legal staff also is now installed.
After playing an important part in the successful impeachment of Gov. Watson, Oklahoma the klan was thoroughly dismayed. In the Democratic senatorial primary last year, and subsequently throw its support to his Republikan opponent, W.B. Phe, who was elected. *In recent city and county elections in Oklahouh, the klan supported Republican candidate, who were not successful.*
Contrast this general ousting of the klan from the Democratic party in the South with developments North and West. In Colorado the klan captured the Republican party and elected its candidates for Senator and Governor. In Indiana it successfully supported the Republican nominee, Ed Jackson, for Governor and he recently filled the senatorial vacancy caused by Senator Ralston's death. Republican lawyer whom him had been counsel for klan on-trial, and whom he carried as having the klan superior.
A TRADE MAKER
NORTH AND DEMOCRATIC BLICAN CLOAK Want No More Of Hooded To Bring New Support Disrupt The Party
Latest Election Results
Take now the elections of Nov. 4.
In the race for Governor of New Jersey, the Democratic nominee, Harry A. Moore, was avowed "wet" and unliklan. His Republican opponent, Arthur N. Whitney, received the support of both the Antislaon League and the klan. Moore was elected.
In Indianapolis, the contest for Mayor was between John A. Duvall, Republican, who had the active support of the klan, and Walter Myers, Democrat, whom the klan fought vigorously. Durall was elected. In Virginia, the Democratic election, the klan centered its fight on the candidate John M. Purcell, the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer, and supported his Republican opponent, John M. Bassett. Purcell was elected, but ran behind his ticket.
An even more striking instance in point occurred in Louisville. It was discovered only two days before the election that the Democratic candidate for Mayer, William T. Baker, was a klansman, whereupon the party leaders forced him to withdraw from the race, and placed a substitute in the field. The klan then threw its support to the Republican nominee, Arthur-Will, who was elected by a dawfrow marsh, but briefly, it appeared, because the new Democratic candidate had no time to make a campaign.
Binghamton, N. K., Clarence J. Cook was defeated in the Republican primary for Mayur by C. W. Yeomans who had the support of the klan. But Cook turned and ran for election as a Democrat, and won.
A year ago, it will be rescaled, Ben S. Pauen, won the Republican nomination for Governor of Kansas, with klan support, and was elected. William-Alen White—famous Emporia editor, entered the race as an independent candidate for the sole purpose of fighting the klan.
Last year, it also will be recalled, R. O. Brewster, the Republican nominee for Governor of Maine, had klan support, and was elected over the Democrat, former Gov. Pattangall. It was Pattangall who at the Democrat's convention, just previously, had pressed the committee to report of the Resolutions Committee asking the convention to denounce the klan by name.
Bay State Situation
In Massachusetts the klan, is wholly Republican, and the Democratic party there, by the same token, is largely "wet" and Irish Catholic. Because of this, the stage is now being set for a night which may do much to draw the issue more sharply. A Senator is to be elected next year. It appears certain that the Republican candidate for reelection will be Senator William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican National Committee and intimate friend of President Obama, who appears equally certain that his Democratic opponent will be former Senator David I. Walsh, "wet", Catholic and the idol of Massachusetts voters of Irish and Italian extraction.
Klan leaders already have served notice, in public utterances and through their publications, that they will fight Walsh, tooth and nail. Indeed they must, to be consistent. The immensely popular Walsh is the authors of all the klan stands for, and the epitome of all the klan stands against. It is quite possible that neither Butler nor the President will welcoming klan leaders to the klan convention, it is likely to prove high-ambitious to them. The spectacle of the executive head of the Republican party running with klan support is bound to have repercussions throughout the country.
The klan took a leading part in the city elections in Detroit and Buffalo recently, and the candidates supported by it were defeated in each instance, but in both cases the elections were nonpartisan, so the general theory does not apply there. In New York, the klan's Republican character is known and accepted it could not be otherwise where the Democrat's economy is overwhelmingly "wow" and Catholic and by the "wol" Catholic "wol" Precisely the same situation exists, in New Jersey, and is found in almost identical form in HIllens, where the most influential Democratic leader is George Brennan of Chicago, and likewise in Ohio, where; Ed Moor is the Democratic National Committee man and most powerful party leader.
Keystone State Klan
Much the same thing exists in Pennsylvania, where the Democratic party is strongly "wet" and Catholic. In the klan parade held in Washington a few months ago, the largest delegation in line, was that from Pennsylvania, recruited almost entire states, and cities of the States, all rock-solid republicans. The rural districts of the New York, overwhelmingly Republican, also furnished an impressive quota to the parade.
Returning to the South, the causes of the klan's decline there are not hard to find, and partake of the social and economic, as well as the political character. In the South, it should not be forgotten, social degree plays a far more important role.

I. Paul Accused (vv 1.9).
Paul was now in the hands of Felix who determined to hear his case after his accusers had come from Jerusalem, &narr; the high priest, and elders came with Tertulus, perhaps a Roman barrister, who formally made the accusation, according to Roman law. He began with battery. He gave Felix the fullest praise when he and all the people knew that he lied, for Felix was one of the worst governors, destitute of morals and justice. He brought a four-fold charge against Paul: 1. "A Pestilent Fellow" (v. 5). This would indicate a fellow utterly base and corrupt—a plague. 2. "An Inociter of Rebellion, a Mover of Sedition" (v. 5). This they hoped would bring him into conflict with the Roman power. 3. That He Was the Ringleader of a Sect—a Schismal-Party—a Heretic (v. 5).
This was designed to throw contempt and suspicion upon the Christians, by this means to bring Paul into deeper trouble.
4. That He Had Profaned the Temple (v. 6).
In this charge we see the wickedness again, they wilfully suppressed facts.
41. Paul's Defense (vy. 10:21)
This is a splendid example of the strength and dignity of a man whose life is controlled by a noble purpose, and who has nothing to conceal, and will not distort or suppress facts.
1. Paul's Frankness and Courtesy (v. 10).
Flattery is entirely wanting. He gave recognition of the fact that Felix had been ruler of this people long enough to be able to judge justly, as the lights and ways of the Jews were familiar to him; he then in a dignified manner assumes that Felix will render a just decision based on the facts of the case.
2. The Charge of Sedition Denied (vy. 11-12).
He hasty and severely denied this charge, showing its utter falsity since the time was too short, it being but twice days, since he went to Jerusalem, and half of that time had been spent as a prisoner of the Romans.
3. The Charge of Heresy (vv. 24-10).
This he met by a concession and a denial. He admitted that he was of this "way" which they called heresy, but denied that Christians were schismatics. He showed clearly that his actions were in keeping with the Hebrew religion.
(1) He worshiped the same God (v. 14).
(2) He fully believed in the same Scriptures (v. 14).
(3) He had the same hope of a coming resurrection of the dead (v. 15).
He declared that he had as the principle of life a conscience void of offense before God and man.
(4) The Charge of Sacrifice or Profanation of the Temple (vv. 17-21).
This charge he refuted by showing:
(1) That he had come all the way from Greece (v. 17) to worship at the feast.
(2) That he did not come up empty-handed but had brought alms for his nation (v. 17).
(3) That there were not competent witnesses present to testify of his behavior in the temple (v. 19).
(4) By challenging his enemies to testify as to his conduct in the council (v. 20).
111. Felix, Trembles Before Paul (vy. 27).
This is a sort of a sequel to the trial. Wicked as Felix was, Paul's summer somehow won his favor, though he did not release him. His sentence was indulgent imprisonment, which kept him free from his enemies while under Roman protection. Felix sent for Paul that he might hear of Christ from him. Paul behaved himself right before these sinners in high life. He reasoned of righteousness, self-control and of judgment to come, before Felix and his sinful, wife, with such power that Felix was terrified, and declared that he would hear Paul further at a convenient time. This was a most illusory excuse for not changing his life and granting justice to Paul.

What Editors Are Saying BY PRESTON NEWS SERVICE
MONEY FOR THE WHITES
A Negro died at Mays Landing, New Jersey. He left-a small fortune and, directed that it be used for the improvement of the village wherein he had accumulated the money specified that it was to be used in making children happy. He was also only Negro in the town. The whole town turned out to his funeral. From what we have heard this bequest does not fit in with the ideas of most colored people. All the money is to go to white people of most Negroes in the town. The idea is that this one money should have been left so that the Negroes could profit from its expenditure.
This may be true, but there is another side to the matter. In the first place the life and the unique will of this man are a pretty fair indication of what reactions will come to all of us if we are permitted to live our lives without the burden of social pressure. Hee was a man had associated with the children of the large all of their lives. He conducted a study which they and their parents traded. He was particularly interested in the children. They were his friends. The matter of his color never interested them nor was he interested in the color of their skins. They were all human beings mingling together, giving and taking just as they saw fit. No mother was as they saw fit, buying from "THAT NIGGY" and returning had no "POOR WHITE TRASH" concepts. Evidently there was nothing to stimulate, racial hate and ill will.
Therefore, it was perfectly natural for this man to leave his money for the benefit of these children whom he looked upon as his friends. He was closer to them as mere human beings than to he who gave his race as a special group. His giving the money, to his village, was spontaneous and natural. To have willed it to something distinctly Negro would have required effort. As far as we are concerned we would like to see more of this sort of living together on the part of Negroes and whites.
And too, why is it that we as Negroes raise a storm over such incidents as this? We preach, pray and fight for the right to be like other men. We say that we want to be part of the whole life of the nation and of the communities in which we live. And yet we fall short of overcoming what should do much to actually make us an integral part of the community.
How can we come into our own an citizenship if we are willing only to contribute or be interested in the things which are purely Negro? Do we really want to have it said that we are willing to have practically all of our schools, hospitals, charities, etc., supported by the whites and we never be willing to give something back to them where it is needed. What is WHAT WE NEED TO LEARN is TO SEEK MEMBERSHIP IN THE FULL LIFE OF THE NATION WITH OUR TIME, SERVICE AND OUR MONEY AND NOT SO MUCH WITH OUR MOUTHS.
Ernest Rice McKinney, in Pittsburgh American.
AMERICA NOT MOSCOW
An complexor has been placed upon the basic condition of the black race in America during the last seven years Immigration has been restricted by Congressional legislation and the great horde of cheap foreign labor that once bested and infested this country and in many instances are doing the
work that the forigner did and from the majority of reports, his efforts have been entirely satisfactory. The doors of opportunity have been opened and unskilled laborers have been able to secure very high wages during the last seven years. There has been a general exodus of black people from the brown state, but surely absorbed and assimilated in the more agreeable Northern towns. By the strength of sheer numbers, greater political strength has been added to the black man. He is able to vote in the North and is gaining more recognition and representation in the various municipalities. The change effected in the last seven years should be appropriated if it should be used to gain more paid upon. The ground gained should not be lost and the black race should profit immeasurably by this new arrangement.
One of the most conspicuous objections to the radical labor organizations of seven years ago was the fact that they were composed of so many people who could not speak the English language fluently and, recently, were involved in this country from fields of Europe, they sought wealth, they envied capital, they had conceived of America as being a land where money could be secured without hard work and when they found the economic system, they got angry. They shouted against our system of government. They sought to stir up rebellion, they threatened us, they failed. Many were thrust in fall and others were deported.
The black man did not know what it all was about and he went on about his business quietly and in the end got the jobs that the radicals spurned and despised. Now there are those who would have taken the money to fire them up with the fear and foolish gospel of those deported Reds, who are parading the streets of Moscow walling against the wealth of nations and the luxuries of the world that they have been too LAZY to secure. It will be conducive to the success and advancement of the laboring classes of black people to get on the job and do their work well. They should go ahead to their souls and "bind them with hoops of steel." They should learn the lessons of thrift.
The black race needs no Communism, no Socialism, no Bolshevism, nor any of the idealistic, far-fetched conceptions of dreamers. They need to know how to barter and trade, to invest correctly, how to purchase collectively, THEY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SAVE.
It has been stated on numerous occasions by unimpeachable authority that the black race is prone to waste its money in chasing the "phantom of the night." Much money is wasted in evanescent pleasure. There is no pyramid of assets and NO THOUGHT OF TORROW. These are things to consider in conclave and convention. The economic future of the black man in America will be safe and secure if he will be freed by his own mistakes, by those of other people. America is the most mature nation in the world and the black man is a tried and trusted citizen who holds his future in the palm of his own hand. Moscow inspires RUIN while New York and Chicago enthuse and point us to high endeavor and great achievement.
Jos. D. Bibb, in The Chicago Whip.
Apologizes To "Uncle Tom"
We of eon call the Beck-spittle, beley crawling Negroes "Uncle Tom" Negroes. This is a curious mistake, and the mistake was first called to our attention by P. L. Prattis, the penetrating editor of "Heebie Jebbles" in "Chicago," "The hero of 'Uncle Tom's Cuban'," says Prattis, "is one of the noblest characters in all literature. Cowards and syphonicals ought to be classified by a less worthy prototype."
That is true. The only character in all literature that approaches the spiritual mobility of the "Uncle Tom" of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, is the Bible hero described in the story of Job. The original "Uncle Tom" was neither a coward nor a tool, and by no means a traitor to the weaker or less advantaged members of his race. He was quite the opposite. In fact, he diek in the defense of an unfortunate woman of his group, giving his life for a weaker-souled fellow slave. He allowed himself to be beaten to death rather than that this woman should be beaten. There is no greater and cleaner hero than he who gives his life in defense of the weak and anticipates no glory in so doing. That was the real "Uncle Tom."
It is a curious bit of psychology that this great character, being driven across the stage in a thousand cheap dramatization, and beaten by the whip of "Legree" and his cowardly slave-minions, should in the minds of the vulgar become the antique of traitors and the hymn of scorn. Today when if Negro disgraces his own manhood an uncle betrays us, we manhood an "Uncle Tom" Negro, while as a fact the original "Uncle Tom" rather than to save himself and betray the weak, died like a black Socrates.
But, then, what shall we call the black, brown and yeller traitors of the 20th century? Prattis called our attention to the fact that the character of the Negro slave whom Llegre used to help to beat "Uncle Tom" or death, is the proper ante-type for the more modern cowards. To help to kill the noble and to oppress the weaker of your own group—that is the business of the Negro traitors of 1825 or 1825. The minion who helped to beat the life out of "Uncle Tom" is the pro-tro-type of the present day Negro minions of wealth and power. You will remember that slave, the cowardly minion of the more cowardly Llegre. His name was "Sambo." That is the name in a nutshell: our present crop of colored traitors are not "Uncle Tom Negroes" no, they are "Sambo Negroes."
Buzz-saws and gravitation will hurt anybody who looks with them.

NEW LAMP BURNS 94% AIR
Beats Electric or Gas
A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U. S. Government and 35 lending universities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns color, smoke or noxia—no pumping up, no heating. It burns 94% air and 6% common kerosene (coal oil). The inventor, K. C. Johnson, 609 W. Lake St., Chicago, Ill., is offering to send a lamp on 10 days' FREE trial or even to give one FREE to the first person to help him introduce it. Write him to contact full particulars. Also ask him to explain how you can get the agency, and without experience or money make $250 to $500 per month. —Adv.
