Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST.LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1925 SWEET CASE GOES TO JURY FOR DECISION Judge Warns The Jury That A Man Has The Right To Protect His Family From Hostile Attack. DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 26—The Sweet murder case went to the jury at 3:30 Wednesday afternoon. In a talk that lasted three hours, Prosecutor Robert M. Tours ridiculed and ridicled the psychological fear complex theory advanced by Clarence Darrows and sought to shatter the walk of self-defense that opposing counsel had built around the 11 defendants. In charging the jury, Judge Murphy pointed out the old truism of the law, that a man's home is his castle, "whether he be white or black," and that the law gives him a right to protect it and his family from a castle attack. Instructed on Prejudices. Carrying out the reasoning of Darrow, he instructed the jury to lay aside all prejudices, and consider the defendants the same as they would white men and women in reaching a verdict. "If the testimony shows that the defendants, knew of other disturbances in this city, then you have a right to consider it as affecting their state of mind. We cannot reason a thing out or do justice with passion or prejudice. You will carefully remember that under our constitution we have an ideal of justice—that all men are equal under the law, whether they be rich or poor, black or white, humble or great. It is the duty of each of you to reach for justice. Justice draws no distinction because of creed or color. Summon the best judgment you have the best consideration, the best reason, in order that justice will be done the 11 defendants before you." Previous to this, Judge Murphy had defined the law, informing the jurors they should determine if the acts of the people declared to be outside the Sweet home were sufficiently hostile to warrant, homicide. He stated a verdict of first or second degree murder might be found against all or any of the defendants, or that they might be acquitted. "In your deliberations," he cautioned, "try to be reasonable; be tolerant of the other man's viewpoint; try to understand for in this way you will have the best chance of reaching a verdict." With masterful pleas, Attorney Clarence Darrows and Garfield Hays made their final arguments in the Sweet case. After being denied a motion for a direct verdict of not guilty, Darrow withdrew the motion. In his pleas for the defense Darrows declared; Any verdict in this case must be based on the particulars in the bill of complaint." The defense has no right to prove anything not stated in that bill. Unless it has been shown that there was a conspiracy on the part of these defendants, none is guilty. There is no evidence that such a conspiracy was entered into. Henry Sweet, in his statement taken on the night of the crime, specifically stated that no such conspiracy or agreement was entered into. "No Attempt to Use, Guns" "The house in which these defendants were stationed, was surrounded by a hostile crowd for two days; there was no attempt to use guns at any time until the house entered and windows broken. I insist that there is not a scrap of evidence in this case to show that any agreement was entered into by the defendants." "If I had been in Mr. Tom's case I would have prepared the case in the same way, because there was no other way. Even assuming that Harry Sweet fired one shot at the crowd outside, there is no evidence that his shot killed Breiner. All the prosecution could do was to claim conspiracy. In view of that, facts in the case could harm him so fact that those people, besieged for two days by a hostile crowd, were there to kill someone. I don't see how there is any serious legal decision to decide. "The bill of particulars does not allude facts that would even sustain a charge of manslaughter. It says that these defendants were there to kill on slight provocation. I submit on the base of these facts that no man, no matter how prejudiced, could imagine that a gathering of people might larger than any other purpose there for two days, with any other purpose than to drive these people out. Why did eight police officers stand there and do nothing to draw their breaths and their salaries? These policemen stood gagged and found without raising hands to prevent a tragedy. They didn't see a crowd, they didn't see anything while a hostile crowd, a criminal gathering under the laws of Michigan, tried to drive these people out of their home. Would disgrace State? It would be disgrace to the state of Michigan to send these people with black faces to prison on the basis of the evidence submitted. I therefore, ask a directed verdict of not guilty." He also submitted a number of decisions in which courts of law had CONTINUED ON-PAGE SIX JURY AWARDS INJURED TRAIN COOK $40,000 Was Hurt In Wreck While At Work On Diner Rammed By Local.

Said To Have Wiped Out Debts He Made Preston News Service NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 25-According to an announcement of the law firm of Jacobson and Jacobse, counsel for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Incorporated, all of the liabilities of the association have been wiped out by paying forty-eight of its members about $50,000 for which judgments had been obtained. This was learned last Thursday. These liabilities, it is said, had been incurred by Marcus Garvey, the founder and leader, who is now serving a term in the Atlanta penitentiary for mail fraud. Much of Garvey's popularity, it was said, was due to his willingness and generosity in giving jobs to all who he thought could be of service to him in speaking oppaganda for the upbuilding of his movement, and bringing salaries to the association. It is said that these salaries ranged all the way from $1,500 to $10,000. When the association failed to redeem the promises of payment made by Mr. Garvey, suits were brought and judgments were obtained. According to the lawyers the U. N. I. A. is educational and is again flourishing. They pointed out that the association owns a site in West 138th street on which is a modest building known on Liberty Hall. Mr. Jacobson said that the association was about to erect a $1,500,000 building on the site and that there would be no difficulty in obtaining enough money for the enterprise. Garvey to be Deported It is understood that Garvey is definitely out of the old business of "uplifting" members of his race in this country because the U. S. Government intends to deport him as soon as his prison term is ended. CHINA WILL FIGHT FOR RIGHTS IF FORCED TO NEW YORK.

M. E. BISHOP DENOUNCES PREJUDICE Sees Defeat Of Unification As Result Of The South's Attitude Toward Colored Christians. ST. FAIL, Minn., Nov. 25—Race prejudice is advanced by Bishop E. D. Mouzon of Nashville, as the chief "stimulating the lie." In the way of unification of the Northern and Southern Methodist Episcopal Church. He previews that the movement would be defeated in the south. Smoking before a large body of churchmen here Tuesday night, Bishop Mouzon declared: "The test of Christianity in America today is the attitude the white Christians take toward the colored. In St. Paul's day, the race lines were hard and fast. Yet they were one in Christ. "My honest opinion is that, best work in America among colored people is being done in the South. In South Africa, where the race situation is very acute, they have heard of the sort of work being done in our South and have sent people over to study it. "These people expressed themselves as surprised at the great progress in education made by the colored people in America. We must remember, too, that the conflict between race always comes on the lower levels. I am never afraid of race conflicts on the upper levels—it is on the lower levels. "Your church and mine ought to take not less interest in education and salvation of the colored people; they ought to take more interest. Every man of every color ought to have everything possible brought to him that he may stand on his feet and serve God as a brother man. The thing the South contends is that we must not have a mongrel race or a merging of races. Some people in the South consciously and honestly believe that the attitude of the Northerners looks in that direction. 'I don't believe that, but they do. And that is the reason they are voting against the present unification plan in some of the states. One of the reasons that I am so anxious for the unification of our forces is that in many of the border states the two churches are spending their time and money contending for the towns, giving the country nothing spending the bulk of their money for towns and leaving the country very much alone "The united forces of evit call for united forces of rightness. We talk about foreign missions, and the West. The battleground of the world is now the future of the world is conditioned by what we do in America today." SEGREGATION CASE WILL REACH U. S.

A Square Deal For Every Man SUMNER 0 LINCOLN 0 St. Louis And Kansas City High School Elevens In Thanksgiving Football Classic Share Honors. RAIN SPOILS BIG EVENT Boys Are Unable To Score On Muddy Field. Large Crowd Braves Incllement Weather To See The Game The Sumner High School football eleven held the claimant to three consecutive Missouri Valley Interscholastic championships, the Lincoln High School grid team of Kansas City, Missouri, scoreless on a muddy field at the Star's Park, Thanksgiving Day. Fumbles were frequent and passes were only at large minutes when he play opened up against avalanche in a last effort to score, but failed. The slippery, mud-coated pigskin worked the punters. Many poor kicks were made. The teams played on even terms, but Summer's mertness in blocking punts and covering fumbles kept the playing in the enemy's territory most of the time. Held On 1 Yard Line In the second quarter a series of fumbles led to considerable uneasiness for both sides, especially Sumner, for at one time the ball was on her own one yard line, and in the enemy's hands. Sumner was placed in grave jeopardy, when a long punt from Jordan's 'heavy' toe, rolled through Dickerson's arms, and he was brought back to the yard line. Encouraged by their sudden attained advantage, the Lincolnites braced up and held Sumner. Dickerson's hurried punt was caught on the 12 yard line by Peem, who made a 7 yard advance placing the ball on Sumner's 5 yard line. Jordan bored his way through a stubborn offense for 4 yards. Elliot then made a 7 yard advance, putting the yard line, the Sumner eleven braced up for a final effort to stop the Lincoln线 plunges. A fumble lifted the purple and white out of danger. Elliot recoverd the ball. Dickerson attempted a kick, but it was caught on the 15 yard line. Elliot then attempted a drop from the ball and finalled to pass through the goal posts. Summer Threatens Summer came close to scoring in the last few minutes of the third quarter. One of Jordan's punts was blocked on his own "20 yard" red, but he made a wonder! "red" beating a Summer player to the "pigskin" by "bairy" Gordon Bine. Bine tied a five-three with three-mmins' Hill Jordan punted again only, to have the wet pigskin hit a Summer player in the face, but the ball was once more recovered by a Lincoln player. A third puff by Jordan proved another jinx. This time McCray caught the ball and brought it to Lincoln's 15 yard line. At this crucial moment, Dickerson was chosen to make the first try to carry the ball over, but a determined defense held the big "line buster" in his tracks. H. Green then made a great effort and went through the enemy's defense for a five yard gain-Graham was next to endeavor. He lost six yards on an open field run, when Capt. Pugh broke the chin him down. It was on the fourth down that the purple and white decided to place her chance in an attempt for a field goal. A bad thrown ball slipped through M. Green's hands, however, and Dickerson made a last try by picking the ball up and going thru the line, but he was brought down and lost the ball on Lincoln's 12 yd. line. Good Spirit Shown The team, Baskin, Babbasen and Blackshear helped J hold the Kansas City team in check. Baker, Gordon and McCray did brilliant work for the offense. Every member of the Summer eleven showed a staunch fighting spirit that helped to hold back the spirit of the opposing team. Gordon Penh, Lewis and Jordan were the most outstanding menace to the Summer team, while they received brilliant support from their team-mates. A splendid clean spirit of sportsmanship was evidenced throughout the struggle for the High School team, which neither team need to feel hurt that they did not establish a clear claim to. R. K.

CHARLESTON CHEMISE LATEST FOR WOMEN Associated Negro Press PARIS, France.-Nov. 25—The Charleston Chemise is one of the few garments which must be worn by smart women here this winter. Cubistic cuties also are being displayed gorgeously through the sheer outer garments of the best dressed dames. Neither old lace nor embroidery nor crepe de chine ones are any longer smart. The fashion has a strictly American origin, since it is claimed that it was rendered necessary because of the peculiar steps of the Charleston, which, if properly executed, naturally force the danger to exhibit the knee; thus the novel combination is fashioned panetelwise, but stops above the knee, which is covered only by a longish flounce, more often than not quite visible below the short skirts. The trouble with folks who blow their own horn is that they mistake amitable tolerance for an encore. Being broke in a strange city isn't pleasant, but all cities are strange when you are broke.

ODD FELLOWS BOYS' BAND When we think of music, we think of The Odd Fellow Boy's Band' was the proud remarks of an observer a few days ago, when discussing the success that @ young man who was formally a member of the band. This band is managed by, and under the leadership of Major P. L. McElroy, who for the past fourteen years has devoted much of his time in training the boys who wish to learn music. Some of those receiving their training under him have become high class musicians, not only in brass instruments, but in violin and in string instruments. Major McElroy is a lover of music and follows and teaches the boys because of his love for the work. He says, that if a boy starts with him, he will make a first class musician out of him. This winter he has enlarged his activities, and is prepared to take care of about ten more boys between the ages of nine and sixteen years, who desire to learn music. Mother's or guardians may bring their sons to the Musicians' Hall, 3428 Lawton Blvd., any Monday or Friday night, and the Major will take pleasure advising them about their boys.

C. D. WE SPECIALIZE IN PARAMOUNT RECORDS PAGE FOUR Four acts of vaudeville make up the program at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. "Perhaps the most outstanding feature is the act of Glasco and Glasco. It is rather a strenuous domestic circumstance that calls for extraordinary character acting by Mr. Glasco. The life of a gambler, who insists upon his wife being a pickpocket thief to replenish his funds, is the theme. He raves because she fails, and this calls for some strong acting. Of course his demands reach the limit and he pays the penalty with a bullet fired by his enduring grouse. Sam Theard is a morologist with some bimurious talk and eccentric songs and dances that carry him over creditably. Hamilton and Hamilton, a mixed team, sing, dance and make fun generally. Maggie Jones, in her first introduction here as a blues singer, does well. She has four 'song numbers' and is accompanied by a pianist, who also contributes an instrumental selection. NEXT WEEK AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE Nijmelle will be the next week's offering at the Booker Washington.

Each girl is a specialist endeavoring to give the audience all that is coming to them' in the way of comedal gyrations, intricate stopping and genuine dance gymnastics. The show has been mounted with elaborateness of scenery and costumes inasmuch as Hurring and Seamons have given "Seven-Eleven" the same attention they bestow upon their other offerings by white companies. A midnight ramble will be held Friday night. THE PICTURE THEATRES THE STAR "Who Cares" will be featured at the Star Theatre on Saturday and Sunday.

This is most powerful and moving human drama SUNDAY ROOSEVELT by way of camparing, it will be seen that there are few 'real statesmen before the American public 'today. Where are the Websters, Phillips, Summers; the Hoars, Reeds, Forakers, and others, who were willing to fight and die for principles. They lost their selfishness in their patricioce love for the welfare of humanity. President Coolidge is exhibiting more real statesmanship than any other man in American public life. He is regarded, even by his political opponents, as a man of lotty and anselfish motives. But he is only one. "One with God" may be a majority, but it is not so in the Senate of the United States, as was demonstrated last winter when the venerable body point blank refused to sanction the naming of the Honorable Charles Beecher Warren for Attorney General. That, as may be imagined, gives pause for the naming of Colored citizens for President appointments, which must be confirmed by the Senate. BUT NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT! Colored Republicans of America should put straight up to the President and the Senate, certain considerations in a manner that will not be misunderstood. If these racial Republicans will do it, and do it right, leaving aside the sentimental notions of "embarrassing someone," the masses of the people back home will at least "know where they are set," and will know who is responsible, the White House, the Senate, or the racial politicians. There are five things that ought to be tried out first.

COLORED AMATEURS WANTED fives are beginning to assemble for the opening of Congress. The President and his cabinet gravely sit about the long table in the cabinet room twice a week. The Republican National Committee, the Hoporable William Butler of Massachusetts Chairman, holds forth in the Munsey Building in its accustomed quiet way-while the cohorts of dusky hue divide their time between the rooms of the Whiteclaw Hotel and 1216 Pennsylvania Avenue, which expense continues to be a part of that of the Republican National Committee, according to the Hon. Perry W. Howard, Special assistant to the Attorney General, National Committee from Mississippi, and retained by the Pullman Company. This fact of 1216, notwithstanding the statement to the contrary by Hon. William Clarence Matthews of Boston, newly appointed Special Assistant to the Attorney General. Howard gets from the government a stipend of $600 per month; if Matthews gets a cent less it is a step backward. As leader of last year's campaign, if anything, he should get $1,000 a month. Colored America, in the national game of politics, it has been proved beyond question or doubt, cannot get very far from being on the outside; and, according to achievements up to this hour, there has been no goal reached from such being on the inside as has been permitted, or tolerated. There has hardly been a touchdown—figuratively speaking, not financially. In the latter equation, considering the emoluments and perquisites of certain prominent white Republicans, black Republicans have hardly had dimes where they have $1,000 dollar bills. Financially, either with Republicans or Democrats, legally speaking, Colored America's finger in the where-with-all, is mere "petty larceny", compared with their "grand larceny". It takes lots of money to play politics, but black politicians, do not get it—much. That's unaversified truth. Where Are The Statesmen Of Yogter day If one will look into history abit.

The subject is TNT in Congress, but it might as well be exploited there, as defiled in the South, where millions are literally without protection, as vouchsafed by the Federal Constitution; in life, property and suffrage.

Where are the Northern Senators who will take issue with Pat Harrison or Heilin, of the South on this all commanding issue? Do they want black votes next year? SEGREGATION—This damnable state of affairs in the government Departments of Washington, was fathered by the administration of President Taft, endorsed by the administration of the late President Wilson, not discouraged by the broken administration of the late President Harding, and tolerated by the administration of President Collidge? What are the national politicians, the members of Congress, and the Administration going to do about it? It is getting no better fast. The housing segregation now a national epidemic, culminating in the tragic case of Dr. O. S. Sweet in Detroit, with ten others; and the vandal bombing of a beautiful church, seeming to teach children, men and women the ways of Christian living, in Chicago, may be directly traceable to the segregation in civic and political life tolerated twenty-four hours of every day in the year in Washington, the capital of the greatest nation on earth.

REGISTER OF THE U. S. TREASURY—Here is a position in the Federal Government that has been held with high honor and dignity by black men, in many administrations. Because of the "round robin" early in the administration of President Harding, there was an assortment of cold feet, when the Democrats of the South protested. The Democrats of the South have, absolutely no business dictating to a Republican administration about appointments! Have the Republicans in this year of Our Lord, while the primaries and elections are pounding for 1926, got the courage to face this little issue, and appoint a Colored man as Register of the Treasury? If they do not have the Colored voters of America, those who can vote, got the courage to hold the Republican party to strict responsibility? CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONER—One of the "key" positions for a Negro would be that of one of the Civil Service Commissioner. It is by this Commission that all the Civil Service examinations are held, papers examined and successful candidates are certified to the various departments for appointment. A Negro as a member of this Commission would render the race great service. Sure it would be a new appointment, but why not demand it? Now is the time. It must be borne in mind that there is abroad in this land a giant stream of propaganda that "this is a white man's country". The President, sensing the great dangers of racial and religious strife, has been crying from the house tops, so to speak, in an appeal for "TOLERATION". This is indicative of a lofty spirit. Where are the men, black, and white, inside and out, of Congress, who will back up this appeal for toleration?

Due to decreases in fatatties resulting from influenza, pneumonia and diptheria, the death rate for Missouri in 1924 was lower than during the preceding year, according to a compilation of the Department of Commerce at Washington, which was released Saturday. In 1923 the fatality rate was 1171 per 100,000 population, a decrease of 50 as compared with 1923, when the rate was 1221 per 100,000. Despite the lowering of the mortality rate, it was pointed out in the statistics that a marked increase occurred last year in the deaths resulting from diseases of the heart as compared with 1923.

Cancer and tumors, tuberculosis, pneumonia, cerebral hemorrhage and nephritis, each exacted the next largest tolls, from 3000 to approximately 400 persons expiring from each of these diseases. Only 892 deaths occurred from influenza, as compared with 2346 in 1923. Children's diseases, such as measles, scarlet fever and whooping cough, remained virtually stationary while suicide decreased 3 and homicides increased 34. The number of accidental deaths did not change much as compared with 1923, but deaths caused by automobile accidents increased by 52.

Walter M. Nelson, assistant defense counsel, condemned the Detroit police for their failure to protect the Sweet property. "If it had not been shown, he said, 'that the police stood by while a man was being deprived of his property in the Turner case, then there might be something said for the prosecution in this trial, if this case is permitted to go to the jury it will encourage like acts. The only thing these defendants did was to protect themselves from mob violence."

"In my charge is the jury," he stated, "I will take every precaution to protect the rights of the defendants under the law. In your arguments have this in mind. What is a riot? How far may a man go in defending himself from a riotous mob if one existed? Also consider this question: How far might a man go to prevent the malicious destruction of property?"

He was followed by Hays, leaving Darrow for the final summing up. $11,000 HOUSTON COLLEGE DORMITORY UNDER WAY $11,000 HOUSTON COLLEGE DORMITORY UNDER WAY HOUSTON, Tex.

Experts, the Premier added, figured that the native voters in the Cape Province would outnumber the white voters within fifty years and the change was necessary. The Government proposed to withdraw the native franchise in the Cape Province, and, instead, give the right, to elect seven Europeans to represent them in Legislative Assembly in addition to the quota of representatives provided for by the Constitution. Among other proposals dealing with the native problem are to give them the additional land already promised and to train them for selfadministration. IMPENDING CONFLICT WITH CHINA IS SEEN Lack Of Understanding And Co-Operation May Prove The World's Greatest Calamity Preston News Service DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 25—The shadow of an impending conflict between the civilizations of the western world and that of Islam, was pictured Wednesday by James G. McDonald, chairman of the Foreign Policy Association of New York City, addressing the Congress on Peace and Security. "The revolt in China, Mr. McDonald saw as a result of Russian propaganda, a reaction to western commercialism, and emunity between Germany and Poland. But Mr. McDonald saw a slight ray of hope in the results of the Lacarno conference. "Lacarno" he said, "is the European states' last, most dramatic and probably most far-reaching' answer to the criticism that they cannot live at peace." The challenge of the Pacific Ocean, "where the newest and the oldest civilizations meet, where the lack of understanding and co-operation may prove the greatest calamity the world has yet known." Congressman Fish Praises The Colored Soldiers Preston News Service WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 25 "The colored soldier, properly trained and given an equal opportunity, is just as brave and will go just as far as any other soldier." This tribute to the part colored troops played in the World War was voiced by Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York, last Wednesday night at a meeting of the National Memorial Association held in John Wesley Church to apose sentiment favorable to passage by Congress of a bill for the erection of a memorial building in this, city in honor of colored service men. Col. Fish said he spoke from experience, as he was leader of the famous 369th infantry, first colored troops overseas. He outlined the history of a bill introduced in Congress by himself to erect a monument in France to soldiers for the four colored regiments. General Frank T. Hilnes, Director of the Veterans' Bureau and Col. Hanford E. MacNider, Assistant Secretary of War, also addressed the gathering and landed the part the Negro played in the war. Captain Sylvester Epps was master of ceremonies. "I take exception", Col. Fish declared, "to remarks made by Gen. Bullard last summer condemning colored golds; because I know' the remarks to be false, and because they apply mostly to men untrained and improperly led. If the Union States is to erect 39 divisional memorials to white troops, many of which did not have half the casualties of the four colored American regiments that served with the Frech. I consider it unwarranted discrimination against these regiments not to erect a similar monument in their honor." "There is great responsibility, said Gan Hines in his talk, 'on all former service men of every race to be leaders in time of peace as well as war. I feel that these colored men represent the type of citizenship necessary if the ideals of the country are always to be adhered to. You do not find them in that class which teaches the policy that tends to tear down the Nation, but always in that class which has been oneism—Americanism." Preston News Service. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Nov. 25—Strong, protests from inhabitants of the Virgin Islands, acquired by the United States from Denmark nine years ago, have greeted reports that the islands might be incorporated with Porto Rico for governmental purposes by action of the coming session of Congress at Washington. The newspaper St. Thomas Mall Notes, in large type says: "Chained to Porto Rico? St. Crux. St. John and St. Thomas say 'Never!' Editorially the newspaper refers to the many contributions of the islands to the development of the United States, beginning with Alexander Hamilton, who was resired at St. Crux. Reports of the proposed annexation to Porto Rico are believed to have arisen in connection with the activities of the Vhgta islanders to have the present naval government replaced by civil government under which the islands would enjoy Amer- Sanitary Cleaning and Dyeing Co.

TUSKEGEE SMOTHERS NEW OPERAND TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. Nov. 25.—In a shocked silence which soon turned to ringing, cheers, the 3,000 spectators assembled in the Alumni Bowl, here. Nov. 21, saw the second team of the Tuskegee Tigers go into position for play against the New Orleans College team, and charge down the field for a touchdown in the first eight minutes of the game without allowing the visitors a first down, or a chance to get the ball out of their territory. Similar unexpected moves, gave the fans thrill after thrill, and the Tigers their seventh consecutive victory of the season by a score of 41 to 0.5. Most outstanding in the first quarter was the ground gaining of Whitlow, halfback; Ashley, halfback; Wooten, fleet-footed fullback, recently returned to the 'Tigers' lair; and Kirkland, substitute for Wooten; The visitors caused anxiety when Turner, their halfback, caught Tuskegee's fumble on her 20 yard line, and by worming and slipping around the Tiger's tacklers, went for a gain of ten yards. In the middle of the second quarter, Joyner showed the oral outfit for the second touchdown. Stevenson added the extra point. New Orleans came back with an ariel attack, completing two passes for a gain of 55 yards and placing the ball on Tuskegee's 2 yard line; not were held for downs. The half ended: Tuskegee 14. New Orleans 0. In the third quarter, Stevenson made a brilliant run of 30 yards for a touchdown and added extra points. Balloy hit the line for the fourth touchdown. This ended the scoring for the third quarter. The last quarter was characterized by many substitutions. Joyner and Bartlett carrying the ball over, and Stevenson and Faulkner making the extra points. For New Orleans, Turner, left halfback, by brilliant end runs, passing and kicking, attracted well deserved plaudits. For the Tiger's, Stevenson, Balley, Faulkner, Joyner, Tadlock, and I Smith played well. MOREHOUSE CRUSHES ALABAMA AGGIES Nov. 25—Playing to a gallery of 5000 spectators. Morehouse, played one of the best games of the season Friday when she overwhelmed the fast Alabama team 20-9. The wear EFFORT BEING MADE TO BAR WILLS-DEMPSEY BOUT FROM STATE OF INDIANA EFFORT BEING MADE TO BAR WILLS-DEMPSEY BOUT FROM STATE OF INDIANA Preston News Service INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 25—The foundation for placing legal obstacles in the path of the proposed Wills Dempsey setto for next summer were laid when Attorney General Gillion gave Gov. Jackson an opinion on the legality of the fight which virtually prohibits the meeting of Dempsey and his challenger. "It is possible," Gillion said, "that these men might, without violating the law, meet for the single purpose of exhibiting their skill as boxers, excluding from their purpose the exchange of blows which would be calculated to determine superiority between them in their chosen and well-known profession. If this is the intention there is no intended violation of the law." Otherwise he held that such a meeting would violate the spirit of the Indiana law. A distinction between "boxing exhibition" and prize fight" is outlined in the Indiana law, which forbids the latter. Articles for the match were signed some time ago, with the two principles and reaching conditions and terms. FITZSIMMONS SAYS BOUT IS A CERTAINTY Preston News Service Preston, News Service LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 25- Jack Dempsey will meet Harry Wills strictly according to schedule, some- where in the middle-west, next fall, according to Floyd Simmons, match- maker. Fitzsimmons, who has Dempsey's signed contract for the title match, scowled at reports that Dempsey never intended going through with his agreement. "Any attempts to prevent the match will be met with failure," he said. "Any efforts by eastern promoters to steal the bout will be defeated. I have it sown up and Indiana officials are solidly behind me on this." Rob Roy Benton, Dempsey's former secretary said recently that the champion's greatest ambition at this time was to box Harry Willis. "But that lawyer of Jack's up in Milwaukee is double-crossing him and trying to break up the match," Benton said, referring to Ray Cannon, Dempsey's attorney. MOORE RETAINS TITIE AS NEW YORK CITY'S CHAMPION BOY RUNNER NEW YORK. Nov. 25.—Augustus Moore, wondertut little-colored runner of Boys' High School. Brooklyn, rounded out a year of unbeaten scholastic athletic competition Saturday with the crowning victory of his brilliant career. The Brooklyn schoolboy, one of a field of about 200 harriers who started in quest of the title, yesterday morning successfully defended his scholastic cross-country championship honors in the annual title test conducted over the Van Cortlandt Park trail of about two and one-third miles under the auspices of the Public Schools Athletic League. Moore crossed the Shish line in 12 minutes 42 seconds, not particularly fast time, certainly not the fastest the star has - returned over the scholastic hill and dale course, but this was only because, as in his previous triumphs among schoolboy ther was brisk enough to call forth fast-action, and the two teams galloped over the field at a lively gait. Although the Maroon team went over the goal line in the first seven minutes of the game, the Alabama boys rallied and fought like demons. It was only the superb driving of Finley and Carlyle Walker that finally broke up the Aggles' defensive and caused the Tigers to put over two, more touchdowns. In the first two periods of the game the Aggies' captain "Red" Hall, tried repeatedly to break through the Tiger's defensive, but poor interference on the part of his team-mates caused him to as many times fall. The sensation of the game, however, was his splendid open-field running in returning the kick-off. He returned the ball at the beginning of the second half, from the 15 to the 50 yard line, and when he was downed from behind, he had the clear field to goal, having shaken off the entire Morehouse line in his dash down the side-lines. Dezon, however, circled around and cut him down on the 50 yard line. In the second period, the Aggies opened up with an aerial attack, and successfully, completed two passes both however, only for short gains. The Tigers took the ball and worked it down the field, Findley consistently getting aloose through tackle for 10 and 15 yard gains. Morehouse first the ball behind the line, and Alabama started off at the 20 yard line. She was unable to gain, and the ball went over. Tondee, the Tiger halfback plowed through the Aggie tackle for two downs, and was taken off the field on account of an injury. Walker went over, and Archer kicked the goal, totaling the score, 20-0. The remaining few minutes of the game was spent in vain line-bucking. A. U. OUTFIGHTS CLARK 20—7 ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 25—Atlanta University defeated Clark University in a hard fought battle Saturday by a score of 20—7. A pass from Tramble to Chisom resulted in a touchdown for Clark U. Beck kicked the extra point successfully. McPherson made two touchdowns and Stanley one for Atlanta U. Jones and LeLorme kicked the extra points. A U. made 14 first downs to Clark's 7. A U. completed 2 out of 3 passes, Clark 4 out of 7. rivals, the lad with the Red and Black of Boys blazing a trail for about 175 young survivors of the full course, was not really extended to his limit. He won as he has in the past, easing up in his stride, looking, back over his shoulder, confident in his own ability, but curious to see the challenge of his rivals. Trailing Moore by twelve yards was Irving Roth, star of Stuyvesant High School, whence came the great Frank Hussey. Roth finished in 13 minutes 44 seconds. He was weakening as the race ended, having run himself out in the glorious, but vain attempt to overhaul the fleet-footed Moore. Y. M. C. A.

THE BEST MALT CHEESE THE BEST MALT CHEESE Colored Boxers On Coliseum Program Next Tuesday The colored bantamweight boxing championship of St. Louis will be at stake next Tuesday night in a six round match between Lawrence Hawkins and Kid Inky, booked by Matchmaker Gene Straus of the New Coliseum A. C. as one of the preliminary features of a pretentious fistle program in which Jack Renault, the Canadian heavyweight titleholder, meets Sergeant Jack Adams of Scott Field in the 10-round headliner. Hawkins and Kid Inky are the first colored boxers who have been scheduled to appear on any of the fistle cards arranged by Promoter Straus since the revival of professional fistlecuffs in this vicinity. If the bout proves a thriller, and there is every reason to believe it will, Straus has promised to match the winner with Benny Hall, a veteran local favorite, who has been dazzling eastern sport fans through his display of ringcraft in recent battles in New York City. The principals in next week's bantam shindig are both prime favorites with the mitt enthusiasts of this city. Hawkins won wom with the colored race when he anexed the A. E. F featherweight championship in France several years ago and by his subsequent triumphs in Australia, where he defeated the champion of that country. In addition to the bantam prewm and the heavyweight headliner, Straus has booked three other promising events. The semi-windup brings Babe McCormary of Tulsa, Okla., into an $round light-heavyweight duel with Otis Bryant of Chicago. Mann Dugan and "Sailor" Maley, heavyweight rivals, will meet in a return match, scheduled to go six rounds. A welterweight setto between Clarence Shaulers and Tom Smith is billed to go six rounds.

The bullet entered her back and lodged in the 'body'. Police investigation leads officers to believe that the girl was Gibson's unintended victim. Gibson, so it appears, was looking for another man by the name of Sam and it is reported that he stopped several parties on the street gun in hand, asking if any one of them was named Sam. They all answered negatively and some of them resented the implication. The girl was walking on the street when she was shot from behind. Sam felt to the ground and screamed. Gibson then fled from the scene and has not been apprehended. It is thought that he had been drinking. Wherever Sam is, police say, he is lucky to be alive. N. A. A. C. P.

The bill provides for a $300,000,000 reduction and repeal of the publicity of tax incomes. The minority party insists on a $500,000,000 reduction, while a few members of the majority party, headed by Senator Norris, oppose repeal of publicity. At the last session of congress the Nebraska senator lost its fight for additional publicity. Failures to exempt incomes of $5,000 and less will also be opposed. “There is too little reduction for his little fellow and too much for the big fellow,” said Senator Norris. The house committee will present the bill immediately on the convening of congress, the first Monday in December. Under the gag rule that prevails in the house it will be rushed through that body and will then be taken to the senate, where it will be thoroughly discussed. It is this procedure that angers General Dawes and other American fastici, who would have the senate operate under the same gag rule as the house.

When a delegation of representative colored men called upon President Coolidge recently and laid before the Chief Executive of the Nation many of the Race's grievances, the President, among other things, told his callers to "have patience." We hope that korest C. Donnell enters the race for United States Senate. Those will be thousands of others who will welcome him or some other strong candidate to enter the Republican primary in opposition to Senator George H. Williams, who will be a candidate for success himself. Of course, Senator Williams has clearly shown that he cares little or nothing about the Negro vote of the state. His attitude in the matter, however, the Negro is concerned, no doubt, is based upon his belief that the nomination will be handed on on a silver platter. Hence, his found it "good politics" during his preliminary campaign, not to confer with any of the Negroes, nor invite them to attend the meetings that have been held throughout the state in the interest, so far as we have been able to learn. To be sure, he has perfect right to ignore the Negroes in his campaign, and that we are making no complaint. All we are endeavoring to do, is to exercise the same right and call these facts to the attention of the voters, so that the voters may be able to decide just how to cast their votes. We know very little about Mr. Donnell. We do not know whether we would vote for him or not. His attitude toward the colored people would, of course, help us to decide that question. We care little about what he or Senator Williams thinks of the League of Nations, or how deep the Mississippi River is; but we are radically concerned about their attitude on the race question.

The highest form of pleasure is sometimes the greatest source of woe. Who remembers when people thought it was nothing to walk three or four blocks? This is the land of freedom, but those Missouri miners had to dig their way to it. Let him who never violated any traffic laws cast the first ballot to enact some more.

"Nearest thing to an agreement reached in Europe is to blame everything on the United States" — Shoe and Leather Reporter. That's why we're called blamed Americans.

Nearly every transaction in daily life and commerce is governed either by direct statutory enactment or by the great masses of judicial decision and president known as the common law. The nearer a law affects one's community life and action the more earnest ought he encourage proper attitude toward it. Just before question the "citizenship complex" usually takes hold, and it is then that those having to do with law enforcement are weighed in the balance. The psychology of pre-occupation campaigns proves the undercurrent of public thought regarding the administration of government. So much is dependent upon the circumstances involved and upon the interpretation of legal phrasiology where confidences arise, that no hard and fast rule can be laid down for the guidance of public officials having discretionary powers, which, of course, includes juries. History has proven that a wise and just administration spares the not the quality of mercy when firmness is required stands firm when firmness is applied—is worth as much or more to society than the mere abstractions in cold type called laws. A splendid example of this reasoning is found in the control of traffic, which has brought benefits to the public as well as abuses. The traffic problem is important because every day it involves the majority of people. Within its range of possibilities, high crimes as well as many minor offenses. Common sense and a high sense for the rights of others is the best rule to follow.

SENATOR NEW YORK, Nov. 25—In expressing his opinion of the steps the Democratic party should take in its activities this winter Senator Coleman L. Blease of South Carolina was frank in revealing his consternation for the Negro. In his symposium he stated: "I would pass an act for bidding any white man to be a slave, I would segregate the races" would have separate street cars, railway trains, hotels and restaurants; giving to the Negro equal service. Plan To Check Advancement Of Natives In South Africa Discriminations Practiced In Employing Help. Whites Given Preference Of Good Positions To Keep Negroes From Getting The Upper Hand PRETORIA, Oct. 28—As a first step in a movement to check the ascendancy of the natives in South Africa, the Union Government has started a campaign to place all white persons in good positions. The purpose behind this effort is to stop poor-whiteism and unemployment among the whites, and thus prevent Negroes from getting the upper hand economically. scientific methods than have been tried in the past. These direct measures will be supplemented by a native policy based on the principle of "differentiation" or modified segregation, the effect of which will be to give blacks and whites alike more scope in their own particular areas and so reduce the economic competition which reveals a grazing ten- Inequalities Practiced The government departments including the railways, are making a systematic attempt to employ more whites, and about 10,000 persons have been absorbed in this way into the activities of the State. There have been no actual dismissals of native workers, but the wastage in the colored labor force is made good by whites, and when additional workers are needed Europeans are engaged where possible, except in the case of railways operating to native territory. This line of action treats transients as civilized labor" policy and is being applied in aid State governments. Sidereal extra expense is involved, not only in extra wages, but in providing housing accommodation suitable for white families. The newly formed Ministry of Labor has inaugurated an experiment for dealing with the rural unemployed or "poor whites," by more CAUTION IS URGED IN HOME BUYING Many Structures Are Of Inferior Qualities. Scarcity Of Suitable Houses. *NEW YORK, Nov. 25.*—The American Construction Council issued a warning Sunday to the public urging that caution be exercised as to the character of construction "it accepts for its money." "With the gradual overcoming of the post-war shortage, and passing of temporary building booms in some localities, the return to normal consideration of building values will make structures of inferior quality an increasingly heavy liability," the statement read. "There are evidences in some few localities that the element of caution is already curtailing speculative operations. The statement which reviewed ingress conditions in the construction industry, pointed out that although the first ten months of 1925 pointed to a second year in the industry, there was still a definite scarcity of suitable housing" for persons of average means. "The large volume of residential construction has not yet met the country's real housing need," the statement continued. "City residential construction has been largely of high-p租 apartments and apartment hotels of a spacious nature, and while suburban home developments of the colony type have been very active, they have too frequently been high in price or very inferior in quality. Farm homes, where the owner's indulgence at taste prevents, show tendency toward modern improvements and home utilities in an increasing degree. "The general situation as to housing, however, is such as to call-general attention to the great need for proper planning, sounder financing and better construction of homes, a condition which the council has repeatedly pointed out and already done much to remedy through its nationwide campaign for better building, started by the council several years ago, representatives of all the component parts of the construction industry, from a investor, owner or tenant to builder and mechanic, are engaged in one of the most notable cooperative endeavors a great industry ever witnessed in modern business to deal put its relations to the public. The efforts of the council that these efforts are receiving the hearty cooperation of all leading branches of the country; then industry. In the last analysis, however, the remedying of the conditions demand that the public of the country, assisted by the intelligent lead-role of the industry as a whole, must learn the essentials of right construction and then insist that they be put into practice. ALICE AND KIP BY WILLIAM DIAMOND Associated Associated, Negra Press Alice had a little Klip. His brain was light as snow. And everywhere that Alice went. For years he tried to go. And she couldn't get rid of him till she married him. Nothing else she did for him or to him could "shoo" him off. Days and days in hotels, motor trips through New England, with an invisible "Mr. and Mr. Matthews as chaperons, none of these things could move him. He had eternal and everlasting love, till marriage." As we look at him we wonder why on earth Alice ever married him, but perhaps that is the reason n—it was the only way to be rid of him. When a white millionaire of an old and "first family" gets on the trail of a colored girl, who is not particularly good looking, but ordinary and passable, he seems to get possessed of a spirit that can only be got out of him by marriage. After he marries, that great American something Indescribable, he seems to be him. That American something is him, not interested in motor trips and private hotel parties—in prostitution and bastard—but it is awfully interested against the decent thing of marriage. The Pullman Company NOTICE To All Porters and Maids: In response to petitions recently received from employees of the classes above named, requesting that modifications be made in the existing agreement covering working conditions, which agreement was negotiated with your duly authorized representatives March 27th, 1924, The Pullman Company will hold a conference with the duly authorized representatives of such employees for the purpose of negotiating relative to such modifications. Arrangements will therefore be made so that such employees in each District and Agency may hold Nominating Elections on or before Tuesday, December 15th, 1925, for the purpose of nominating by ballot one representative in each District and Agency who will be acceptable to the employees as a representative, thus placing in nomination approximately 72 candidates for election as representatives to the conference. The representative nominated in each District or Agency should receive a majority vote of all such employees in such District or Agency. A statement of the result of the Nominating Election in each District and Agency, showing the number of votes cast for each nominee and signed by the Secretary of the Employees' Election Committee, should be promptly forwarded by the Secretary, who will retain a copy, to the Supervisor of Industrial Relations in Chicago, who will have the names of these 72 candidates printed on ballots to be used in the Final Election, for the purpose of electing from the list of candidates a committee consisting of at least 24 representatives of the Management, as hereinafter stated. At least 3 representatives should be elected from each Operating Zone, in order that all of the 8 Operating Zones may be represented in the conference. One of these ballots will be furnished to each employee of the classes named. The Final Election should be held not later than Tuesday, January 12th, 1926. As soon as the Election is completed the Secretary of the Employees' Election Committee in each District should notify the Supervisor of Industrial Relations the result of such Election, giving the number of votes cast for each candidate, the Secretary to retain a copy of the statement, and the Supervisor of Industrial relations, in conjunction with the Employees Election Committees of the classes named in Chicago, will-tabulate such returns, and will promptly notify the Secretary of the Election Committee in each District and Agency the names of the representatives for the purpose stated. Each of the 24 representatives to be elected should receive a majority vote of all employees of the classes named in the entire service and be authorized to confer with the Management and decide in conference and agree upon rules governing working conditions for such employees. scientific methods than have been tried in the past. These direct measures will be supplemented by a native policy based on the principle of "differentiation" or modified segregation, the effect of which will be to give blacks and whites alike more scope in their own particular areas and so reduce the economic competition which reveals a growing tendency to force Europeans down into the poor white class. The combined effort, it is hoped, will do much to strengthen the white race in South Africa and check the rapidly increasing preponderance of the colored people, which was made plain in the 1921 census report. 160,000 Poor Whites The United States had many efforts to do away with poor whiteism which they have feared as a menace to their control in South Africa. It is difficult to estimate the extent of the trouble, but the figure of 106,000, which means that every tenth European in the Union must be included in that doleful category, impartial students of social conditions in South Africa, admit that the European race can be eradicated, the European race ultimately will be found to have lost control of the sub-continent. But "Little Old New York" is at least partly civilized in this particular. If Kip had only been in Mississippi, Good Lord!—he might have had all those motor trips and things, and would have been protected by the impossibility of the marriage. And even if he had pretended to marry and the thing was apparently done, all he would have to do when Kip got ready to skip, would he to suddenly find out that Alice had a few drops of "colored" blood in her veils, and—presto! The marriage would have been and void. Now these millions ought to all migrate to Mississippi. Civilization is fixed up there just to suit their tastes, and their convenience. Evolution be damned! Man's too quick an animal to be related to logical creatures like pigs and cows and monkeys.

THE PEOPLE'S PAPER KIP WROTE 3000 WORD LOVE NOTE Davis Says Such A Missive Should Have Caused Girl To Expect Writer Would Marry Her. Among the many letters exhibited by Lee Parsons Davis, attorney for the defense in the Rhinelander anulment suit, was a 3000 word missive which was read to prove his contempt of the woman whom receiving such a letter would consider herself engaged and expect the writer of it to marry her at least to be desirous of marrying hire. The letter was written in 1822, while Leonard, Kip Rhinelander was a man. He wrote that it occupied an entire morning. In part the letter read: Hotel Tivoli, Ancom, Canal Zone, Monday morning, April 24, 1922. My Darling Girl: As I told you in . letter No. 10. your cheerful note arrived just as we were about to leave Colon for Panama. City. Can you imagine a city how low you can be surprised your boy was to hear from you again? Well, dear, after reading your wonderful letter I went straight down to the washing room and hurried off a few lines, just to let you know your letter had found its way to the one you had sent it. Yes, I was leaving in a half hour, so I had to make the best of my time. Oh! dear heart, that letter didn't half express my great joy and gladness, and how differently I felt when you arrived. I wonder, sweetheart, when my lovely letters reach you; if you go to your little room where you can be alone and are happy to hear from you as I was when that letter of yours came to me. If you really care as much to get my letter as I did hearing from you, you, no doubt, can appreciate what your note meant to me and how happy and overjoyed it was. Supposing, darling, you hadn't heard from me for three weeks, and wasn't sure if you would get even a line for six months and, then as if a gift from God, a letter arrived. How would you feel? Well, Alice, if you can answer that question, and if you have been as lonely and lonesome for me, as I have been for you, why you won't have the least trouble in guessing how I felt when your letter came. Just to know dear, that you wrote it was enough to turn nighttime into daytime, but after reading and repeating your letters, classes and sentences and finally coming to the point that has been worrying me a great deal, and learning in your letters that I needn't worry any longer, set my heart at rest and will carry me on no matter how long the fight lasts. I wonder, Alice, if you think I am raving and what can I possibly be referring to in the above sentence. I don't blame you, love one, for becoming a bit confused, as I will grant you it is quite difficult to see what I really have in mind. **Memories of Happy Days** Your letter, darling was just full of pictures, if you understand what I mean. It brought back memories of the good old days when you and I were so happy together. Yes, dear girl, as you said very few, as happy as she has been and when always we our happiness will always continue. I am going to add here that you can rely on me to do my share and never let anything, no matter what it may be, come between us. Well, darling, to get back to where I was raving, maybe you thought so. I will try to explain what I was referring to. Two things sweetheart, in your letter stood out like a shining light above all other things you told me. Can you guess what those two things were, that you wrote me and told me yourself? Of course, you know, dear, what you said—"that I am now your only one and that you will be true to me." Oh! Alice, dear, I was worrying a little not being a word for three weeks and wondering if you were keeping your promise. You can't blame me Alice, sweetheart, lonesome to think if you are being when I am feeling blue lonely and true and having me as your only one. Can you dear? When you are alone and perhaps during the summer when everybody is going to places, parties and having a jolly time, you, no doubt, will feel very lonesome and unhappy and will say to yourself, "I wender if Leonard is keeping his promise and being true to me. You can't help but think that I only may have a slight mistlethus myself a/night I stayed in while my pal was out to dinners and dances. I layed in bed and thought if you love one, were staying in also and giving up all parties like I am doing and above all, being true. During all the times that I have been away, I have always trusted you. Alice and have been doing so all along, but just little, and you told me yourself in your own hand-writing that you will be true to your boy and now love only me. Oh! God, Alice you have no ideas what your letter means to me and all the cheery things that were in it. Perhaps that letter will be the only one that I will get during an argument with him, if it is the only one I need not worry anymore if you are being a good girl and keeping in your promise. Need I dear? Say to yourself sweetheart, that you will be faithful forever and CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 NEW WEST END HOTEL West Belle Place and Vandeventer Avenue Questions And Answers In Negro History Questions pertaining to: Negro history anywhere, if of general interest and not too long, will be answered by Mr. Parker in this book.

It was established by the Board of Education for colored children who are underweight and malnourished. It is located in the 4300 block on Kennedy avenue, and has a capacity of 120 children. The Tuberculosis Society, and the Board of Education will maintain the school, the same as they do the open air schools for white children. It will be open the year round, six days a week, with a two-week vacation in August. A day's program at the school will consist of breakfast, a bath, lessons, a mid-morning lunch, study, exercise, lunch, a nap, recreation and mid-afternoon lunch. The Tuberculosis Society will pay for the meals of all those children who can not afford to pay. More than 50 per cent of meals of white children open air schools are paid by the board, that the same percentage will be found among the co-founded children. Members of the society social see vice department are dues now investigating cases to see whether or not they can afford to pay. No one with tuberculosis or any other contagious or infectious disease will be admitted at this school. It is purely a preventiorum where children who are run down in health and who might be susceptible to tuberculosis are taken before they really become ill and restored to normal. As the tuberculosis death rate among colored people is two to one that among the whites, it is especially essential that prevention work be started among colored people. The open air school is one of the many steps planned in this direction by the Tuberculosis Society. The 1925 Christmas Seal Campaign, which will provide funds for the continuance of the public health program of the Tuberculosis Society, will begin December 1. Extensive plans are now being made which will carry the seal sale into every nook and corner in St. Louis, Christmas seal money received from colored people has been kept in separate funds each year, and in health projects among colored people. This health year all the received* from colored people in the sale of Christmas seals will be spent on the colored open air school and on future projects planned for colored people. HOOSIT?

OWENS THANKSGIVING DAY Thanksgiving Day is an annual religious festival in the United States, celebrated in New England from the first settlement by the Pilgrims. It originated in 1621, when Governor Bradford of the Plymouth colony, appointed a day for public praise and prayer after the first harvest, and the practice was observed by the other New England colonies, and during the Revolution was introduced in several of the Middle States. Since then it has extended to nearly all the states, and has become a national institution since 1803. The day, which is usually the fourth Thursday in November, is designated by a proclamation signed by the Governor or the President. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR THANKSGIVING TURKEY? The Turkey is a gallinaceous bird, domesticated in many civilized countries, but confined to North America until after its discovery by Columbus. It was found in the forests from the Isthmus of Darlen to Canada when the country was first settled, being then abundant even in New England. It makes a most delicious dish for Thanksgiving.

GAME WARDENS WARNED TO ENFORCE QUAIL LIMIT JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Nov. 25.—Instructions were given today by Keith McCausse, Game and Fish Commissioner, to all deputies of the Game, and Fish Department to make arrests whenever hunters refuse to permit an inspection, and count of their game. These instructions follow on the heels of an opinion by the Attorney General to the effect that deputies could not hunt only "in the game only", which McCausse states they have not been doing. Hunters are required by law to show their game but cannot be forcibly searched, according to McCausse. The instructions to the deputies are in keeping with the opinion in which the Attorney General hold that Prosecuting Attorney F. M. Brady of Benton County should file against the parties reported by him to have refused to permit the Deputy Game and Fish Commission to hunt not convicted by them and in their possession. The opinion stated that the case should be filed under Section 5645, which carries a penalty of from $25.00 to $150.00. A drive is being made by the Game and Fish Department against illegal hunting. In addition to the 25 regular deputies, the department has 114 extra men for the hunting season, on in every county. Special operators are also working over the state direct out of the Jefferson City office, giving special attention to excess bug limit on quail. "Most hunters are good sportmen and approve of our work," said Commissioner McCanse. "The reports of our deputies indicate a fine spirit of sportsmanship among the hunters; although the game hog doesn't like it when he has to show his game."

INSPECTOR BRUCE MAKES STRONG ADDRESS BEFORE STATE TEACHERS' ASS'N Gives Facts And Figures On Negro Education In Missouri And The United States One of the outstanding features at the recent Missouri State Teachers' Association, was the address by Prof. N. C. Bruce, Insect of Negro Schools of the state. In his address, Mr. Bruce showed that he has given the subject of Negro citation a deal of study, and that he has an ultimate knowledge of this country especially where Negroes are in large numbers. His address, in part, is as follows: "Mr. President, Follow Teachers, Ladies and Gentlemen: There is further need of public, and whitehouses. I am an apologist or brief holder for my own or any other group of my fellow citizens. As I find and know the truth, it is important department of Education, as now directed, to deal fairly with all Missouri inmates in territory, is autonomous, is mysterious and paradoxical in various localities and sections. At her great centers of population, and wealth, in cities of the first and second class and her larger towns where our group of children is relatively large, and parents are permanent and interested in education, educational facilities and expenditures for the same are adequate for the same reason as for other groups. Everywhere in Missouri, rural or urban, where taxpaying, permanent colored citizens are alert, informed and actively interested in public school education of their children, if the numbers justify, good schools with efficient and prepared teachers are maintained under the school laws. This being true, anybody with reason may see why in so many rural places in our great state, our group of children fare so poorly. And so we have often strenuously and continuously gone beyond our official schools to meet superintendents, local school boards, and to, organize parents and patrons and work these up to a pitch of going after what belongs to their children’s public school education, equipment and facilities. These, I insist, to be organized not for getting rid of minor problems, but for building appalled and not for building, helping the school boards to add them and supplementing where the districts are. Financial work and cannot properly equip grounds and other facilities under the double school system such as our children need for greater progress. The Department of Education has also distributed the state into seven colored rural school divisions, and the teachers have as many associations for their mutual progress. State wide reading, spelling and composition contests have been held to stimulate studies in the fundamentals. The State Superintendent is whole-heartedly and especially interested for our group of children in the rural sections to have just why is due to better prepared teachers, has fathered and pushed through the bill which now provides for five first class summer normal training schools right at the door of the low salaried rural colored teachers. These to operate ten weeks for teachers' credits in the five sections where is the largest number of rural school teachers. Beginning this year in June, at very short notice, these teacher's training summer normal enrolled and instructed some 250 teachers free of all tuition in addition to 100 who because of higher salaries were able to go to Lincoln University eight weeks summer school, in addition also to the Kansas City and St Louis school trimming summer schools. Moreover probably a hundred teachers left the state and attended summer schools in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado New York, Michigan and other states' colleges and universities. Lincoln University 'when accredited together with the recent five highly credited summer ten weeks' normal which are to be taught and conducted by college and university degrees experts, will work an appreciable saving to our state teachers when they "drop down their buckets where they are." And so I soon glad to report that real, solid work is being done, advanced made and some stack is being taken up in our Missouri educational field. Some Suggestions "We need not brook much lower the inequalities, disparities and injustices felt, known and seen in so many localities, over the bad and unsanitary locations and environments of so many town and country schools for Negro children, cheap grade of unprepared teachers at lowest wages, no playgrounds, nor apparatuses, badly used books and furniture sent down to the colored schools, poor school facilities and equipment, all these in many many places where most ample, large and new school buildings and grounds; new books, athletic environments and health giving swings, see saws and bars, sliding ladder-good sidewalks and every helpful, attractive furnishings are provided for the white children. Such differences at first glance, blunt the dull edge of many of our local parents, teachers and children. They are discouraging, yet we should not give up when it is known, that one town, Maryville, has the best equipped two room school for the stat; another town, Clayton, has the best and most perfect school than St. Louis. Liberty graded school ranks with any other similar school in appointments and equipment and probably in cost, and that these are schools for colored children. When this is known, it should strengthen our faith for multi- CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 What's The Matter With The Methodist Churches? By REV. JAMES A. STOUT Of The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church Many times this year and within the last few years I have been asked the question: "What is the matter with the Methodist Churches?" In order to be courteous and respectful I have always made some kind of reply. In most instances these replies have brought on discussion and discussion has evolved many different opinions—In the first place we all have to admit that there is something the matter. Then every loyal Methodist would like to know the answer to the analysis of the situation so that the proper cure may be applied. In the second place we shall have to admit that a question so momentous as this, studied from so many varying angles, cannot be missed fully in an article so brief as this one must necessarily be. I am writing on it because I have been requested to do so by several churchmen and some newspaper men. I have been sought. I presume, because I am a Methodist, first, and second, because I have had my part of the exper-ience of these days when they run up against the political "Buzz" Sawu which is a part of Methodist machinery that has grown to enormous proportions within the last few years. Chicago seems to be, the focal point of the "new disturbances" that have crept into our Negro Methodisms, as least Chicago seems to be the place where the unrest has shown up more baneases have effected the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Several prominent and high standing ministers and large numbers of members have left the respective churches and in most cases, have effected independent churches. In some parts, have enjoyed wonderful growth. There must be some cause for ministers of an outstanding, upstanding, high standing class leaving the regular churches which they have in many cases served for many years. Also, there must be some reason for such large blocks of members leaving the churches of their choice. We have they have left many years. Let us see if we can find this cause. A Look Backward All loyal and thoughtful Methodists, looking back into the history of Methodism and carefully studying the motives, principles and impulses which gave rise to it, are compelled to admit that the Grand Old Church as it evolved from the heart and brain of its founders, was an eloquent and forceful protest against corruption that had crept into the great Episcopal Church, the established and authorized-Church of England. A few brave, devout and thoroughly consecrated men who could no longer endure the corruption that had grown hold in the church. So they sought to find a way and to organize societies that would be free from the sinful and repressive indulgences of the established church. In the step they took to institutionalize their moral longings they represented, not only their own personal discontent but the natural growth and development of a new vision of service, a new idea of brotherhood and new spirit of fellowship. In fact it was an irresistible force of an expanding civilization. The shell of religious thought had become a prison and had to Associated Negro Press Answers.

Chandler Owen EDITOR'S NOTE: Three weeks ago the Associated Negro Press released the following story under a Chicago date line: "Before two hundred Pullman porters called together in the effort now being made to unionize them, Chandler Owen, chief editorial writer of the Chicago Tee, characterized Negro newspaper editors as "little, ignorant, and contemptible." He declared that they had no knowledge of their particular job, or of the great problems they were facing in selling their principles to the highest bidder. Most of them, he asserted, are beneath the notices of intelligent men. Mr. Owen, through "The Bee", takes exception to the story. First, he says that he did not say all Negro editors, but specified three. Second, he says that Mr. Randolph explained before he would have to say would be as an editor of "The Messenger", and not as a representative of the "Chicago Bee". He makes his complaint the basis of a plan for a reliable news service. Now as to our sneeze. Mr. Owen did say what was reported in the story. The meeting with the porters was held under police surveillance and the police who would probably attend the statement would be who were there. He did not say ALL, nor did he specify the. He spoke of Negro editors, probably having in mind all those who are opposing the plan of film and Mr. Randolph to unionize the porters. He named only one, Joe Bibb of the "Chicago Whip." He spoke against Negro editors and newspapers, as he and Mr. Randolph are continually doing while in this fight, probably not expecting that his remarks were to be broadcast as they were, and therefore neglecting to specify just those editors and newspapers who oppose. As to the second point in his complaint, our story did not say that he spoke as the representative of the Chicago Be. It noted that he was an editor for the Negro newspaper the Chicago Be. He was that before he spoke while he spoke (whatever he said), and that as amp. He is not like Nathan, or Mencken, a A TRADE MAKER be burst so that the change the world needed could be made. The entire scope of the history of religion presents this kind of a spectacle, the spectacle of outgrown ideas and customs being broken down by a new generation of people who become martyrs that the world might take another step forward. Religious forces have always taken their operating character from the form of government under which they were evolved or grew. Strange to say, religious thought and practice have, in most cases, ploided along behind civic thought and custom. Methodism has been in and under a Monarchy and, for that reason, for monarchs, the form of government was not the form of government, known to man. Under this from of government the church was and is subjected to all the dangers to which the nations under the monarchical form were subjected. However noble the prompting motives might have been in the early fathers of our Methodism we could not escape the competition, unholy desire, selfish aims and purposes become the dominating forces in church economy, operation and government. As the world has grown older it has come to see that the monarchical form of government is not the best form of government. It has come to where a more general belief in the great principles of democracy, fair play and justice to all alike, is having for its purpose the encouragement of promoting fellowship, brotherhood, religious toleration, rights of persons and things, indiscrimination, and the death of foolish prejudice, is upon us and the world must accept the new light of a new day. The monarch in civic and national government is either dead or so changed that it is a more form and not a force any longer. The last great war gave a death blow to that form of government and that blow gave impetus to a new form of government, now struggling for place and power in all sections of the world. The same struggle that is going on in the civic world is going on in the religious world. Great unrest abounds and disturbs every church organization. Democracy and brotherhood are knocking at every religious door. Old religious customs and practices are falling before the irresistible advance of a greater fellowship and brotherhood. They cannot be kept back. The time is here for them and they are but the natural progeny of the growth and expansion of our civilization. The nation that tries to hold on to the old form of government and to practice old, outgrown civic customs, will find its breast torn by dissension and internal strife. So also is it with the church, which thrives upon old outgrown religious ideas and customs, the church that endeavors to force its constituency to feed upon politics and policies of yesterday, will find its bosom torn with dissension and its way clogged with boulders of discontent. **Coming Nearer Home Now** Right beneath must be the startling things. The European form of church government, that is the rule of Bishops elected for life, is a relic of by gone days, the days when nations under the monarchical form of government elected CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 contributor merely, but is active managing editor of "The Bose", supervising the preparation of copy and writing the editorials. He holds a position of responsibility with the paper's active home force. Of course, Mr. Owen, like the man in the streets, objects to who ever you may publish about him that is not favorable. The man in the street, grumbles and goes on. Editors know the grumbles through a newspaper. Why should the Associated Negro Press wish to misquote Mr. Owen? What could be its motive? Certain newspapers have given credence to his complaint and have published editorials calculated to improve the Associated Negro Press. These newspapers seem to forgive it. Mr. Owen can also be a press. This press service is a great spirit of cooperation. It can't answer attacks for it, and has, no paper. The newspapers which have complained are shouting in the air by publishing editorials. They are railing against a spirit. The proper way to proceed. If the complaint were justified, would he be compelled to make a statement? That would be making an effort to correct imagined ill; the other is to destroy. It is significant that in seven years only two stories released by the Associated Negro Press have been questioned: the one about Mr. Owen, which he questioned, and another released early this year about a junior arrested in North Carolina, charged with attempting to enter a girl student's room. We later learnt that our correspondent had been arrested for it might to be, rather than as it was. He tried to put the ones of the inception on the North Carolina whites, who saw the story in the Pittsburgh Courier and complained. We think that is a pretty good record. We don't want to mar it. Mr. Owen complained as he did because he had a newspaper to do it through, and because the remarks, made in the midst of Pallman Petters, wildly clamoring for what he brought them, would be difficult to support ex-convict Negro Press attitude in the porter controversy has been that of a neutral, we having released whatever of importance that came to hand, on either side. Incidefitally, "The Chicago Bee" is a member of the Associated Negra Press.

Dean of the Evening School, Moody: Bible Institute of Chicago). © (1923, Western Newspaper Uni.ck.) Lesson for November 29 LESSON TEXT—Acts 25:1-26:32. GOLLEN TEXT—I was not dis- obedient unto the heavenly vision.— Acts 26:18. PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul, Tells Why He Observed Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Tells a King About Jesus INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Obedience to the Heavenly Vision YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Paul's Defense of His Mission. More than two years had elapsed since Paul had been tried before Felix, during which time Jewish hatred for him had not abated. As soon as Festis, the new governor, went to Jerusalem he was besieged with accusations against Paul. His accusers desired that he be brought to Jerusalem for trial, intending to lie in wait and kill him on the way. Festus refused an opportunity to accuse Paul if they would go down to Ciesarga. They were unable to prove anything against him. Festus, willing to please the Jews, proposed to send him to Jerusalem for trial. Paul rebelled Festus for this, declaring that he knew very well that he was innocent. Seeing that it was impossible to get justice before Festus, Paul made use of his right as a Roman citizen and appealed to Caesar. This surprised Festus. His failure to release an innocent man placed him in an awkward position for he could give no explanation as to why an innocent man should go to Rome for trial. I. Paul Before the King (25:13-27). The occasion of his appearing before Agrippa was the visit of Agrippa and Berrice to Festus. Upon their arrival they expressed a desire to hear Paul, whereupon Festus told them of his perplexity. So it was arranged that Paul be brought before them for examination. The gospel should be preached to all regardless of wealth or station in life. II. Paul's Defense Before Agrippa (20:1-27). 1. The Introduction (vy. 1-3). He expressed his delight that he now could speak and tell his case to one who was able to follow his line of argument, for Agrippa was an expert in questions concerning the Jews; but, most of all he was no happy in witnessing to him of the Savior, and perhaps leading him into the light of God. 2. His Manner of Life (vv. 4-12). This he showed had been in strictest accord with the most rigid sect of Jews. He possessed the same hope, i.e. that of a coping Deliverer, and reminded them of the fact that formerly he was most bitterly opposed to Christ as his zeal would prove. 3. His Supernatural Conversion (vv. 13-15). Jesus Christ appeared to him on the way to Damascus and revealed Himself to him. 4. Jesus Christ Commissioned Him for His Work (vv. 16-18). He was sent into the Gentiles; (1) To open their eyes so awfully illuminated. (2) To perform the blessed work of turning them from darkness to light. (3) To turn them from the power of (3) To turn them from the power of satan unto God. (4) That they might receive forgiveness of sins. (5) And that they might obtain an inheritance among the saints. 5. His Consecration (vv. 10-23). As asson as he received his commission, he obeyed. Every man should instantly obey the call of God and devote his life to carrying forward the work entrusted to him. The vigorous prosecution of his work brought him into conflict with the Jews, for which they sought to kill him. 6. The Interruption by Festus (vv. 24). Screwing how thoroughly in earnest Paul was attempted to account for it by calling him a crank, attributing it to the ravings of an unbalanced mind. 7. Paul's Appeal to Agrippa (vv. 25-27). Still maintaining his courage, he appointed to Agrippa's knowledge of the work of Jesus and of the prophets, for they have an fortunate connection. II. Agrippa Almost Persuaded (vv. 28-32). Whether Agrippa's answer was a contemptuous singer or not, it is quite evident that his soul was wrought upon. He saw the claim of Christ upon him but was unwilling to yield. Sad, indeed, that a man should be so near to eternal life, and yet lost! Paul took Agrippa seriously. His heart longed that Agrippa, and all concerned, might accept Christ and be saved. For Religious Peace It would make greatly for religious peace in this country if we all learned to rejoice when we hear brothers finding God in any way, and ceased to insist that our own way is the best.—A. Herbert Gray. Dignity of Manners A certain dignity of manners is absolutely necessary to make even the most valuable character either respectable or respected in the world.—Lord Chesterfield.

Rev. D. L. Langford, Pastor Lizzie Thomas, Reporter BAPTIST MISSION BOARD PLANS $1,000,000 EDIFICE CHICAGO, Ill. Nov. 25—To provide mission work in Liberia and other sections of Africa, the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention of which Dr. J. E. East is corresponding secretary, is launching a drive for a million quarters. The campaign has been carefully organized with a director in each stage to supervise the work under the National Committee. Every Baptist and every man or woman who has any pride of race is being asked to contribute towards this cause. The National Committee is certain of success, according to Dr. L. K. Williams, President of the "National Baptist Convention, first because the work of the Foreign Mission Board in Africa deserves support, and second because the Baptists and other denominations will see that the required amount is raised. The Foreign Mission - Board has worked out an extensive development program, including the erection of an agricultural college in Liberia. This program is the result of surveys and investigations conducted in the field, which showed that the missionaries had converted many of the natives to the Christian religion, but that if the natives are to be lifted to a moral plane, they must also be elevated to a higher economic and educational level. The East in discussing this campaign, said: "Experience has taught us that along with evangelization must go ideas of industry and proper education. We must give the natives Christian civilization, if we expect to take places alongside civilized people of the world." New Revelations Of Old Testament Scenes Found Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 25—New light has been shown on Old Testament scenes and life, portrayed in the books of Samuel and Chronicles, in which King Saul figures in combat with the ancient Philistines, by recent excavations in Palestine of the university of Pennsylvania during excavation to Belsan. A letter from Alan Rowe, field director of the expedition, describing the work was made public by the University Sunday night. Belsan is the Biblical "Beth-Shan," and lies at the eastern end of the valley of Jerreel, overlooking the Valley of the Jordan. It was the chief city of the famous Decapolis, the League of Ten Cities. Egyptian literature contains numerous references to it. Variant passages in the Bible render the name "Beth-Shan," which may be translated "House of Security." The discovery by the University of Pennsylvania expedition that the high mound which marks the site of a great ancient city in ancient Egyptian fortress may lend plausibility to the later interpretation.

NORTH CAROLINA LEADS ALL SOUTHERN STATES ERECTING COL'D SCHOOLS NORTH CAROLINA LEADS ALL SOUTHERN STATES ERECTING COL'D SCHOOLS Preston News Service RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 25—North Carolina has built one to every other five Negro school houses erected in all the southern states according to Dr. Francis W. Shepardson, secretary and director of the Julius Rosenwald Fund of Chicago, who was in Raleigh last week to attend the Annual State Educational Conference here. While in North Carolin Dr. Shepardson with Prof. S. L. Smith, of Nashville, Tennessee, general field agent for the Rosenwald Fund, visited many of the Negro schools throughout the State. Last Wednesday they visited schools in Durham county; Thursday was spent in Mecklenburg county and Friday in Union county. Tuesday they visited the Rosenwald school which is being erected in Wake county, and commented favorably on the type of building that is being erected there. It is a modern seven-teacher brick building. Of the total 3,083 Rosenwald schools which have been built in the South 515 have been built in North Carolina. More than one-sixth of the total expenditure of thirteen million dollars has been spent in North Carolina, which indicates that North Carolina is erecting the better and larger type of schools for Negroes. The total expenditures in North Carolina amount to more than $2,253,000. These schools have a capacity for 60,750 children and employ 1,350 teachers. Halifax county has the second largest number of Rosenwald schools in the South, Shelby county, Tenn., leading with a small margin. Halifax county has 39 of these schools, and several others are under construction. In discussing the Negro Educational Conference held here, Monday, Prof. Smith declared that group of Negroes could not be gathered together in other state in the South. North Carolina, he said, was far ahead of other southern states in the number of educational leaders among Negroes. Both Mr. Shepardson and Prof. Smith commended N. C. Newbail, director of Negro education in this State, and the work he is doing here. Associated Negro Press GEENWOOD, S. C., Nov. 25—Negroes are getting better every day If your Hairdresser Canno.

You Too Can Have Beauty "I was not always as attractive as I am now. My hair, which should be woman's hair, is green, chained to be woman's green arm, due to dandruff, and my face was sallow and often bore ugly pimples. "I had heard Exelcanto Quinine Pomade praised on all sides and I got a package and began using it as directed. The results were as astonishing.

Medical Expansion, partly wrapped and poised the Treatment of Opaline Remedy; and also a sample of Antibody State Symbols of preceding chapters: Mazie Brooks daughter of a Methodist Minister in the small mid-western town of Olethe sets her heart on winning Ned Ramsey son of the town's wealthiest financier. Beautiful and fun-loving, Mazie embangles discretion to the winds as she indulges in one mad escape after the other. Local gossip whispers that she is a bit too intimate with Jack Clifford a fast young man about town and Dr. Donald Watson a young physician who lives with each other for her favors. They on New York's Eve night at a dance given at the Ramsey house she offers Ned's proposal to Jack Evanson her rival. She hears his bitter the culmination of herness. Angry and humiliated she seeks solace in a wild night joy ride with Dr. Watson. At a notorious road house they are surprised by a raid, and she is lodged in the town jail until morning. Dr. Watson married her the next day only to inform her on the night of their marriage that he doesn't love her—doesn't even respect her bug married her to save her parents from the disgrace of scandal. Deciding that she could not live with him knowing that she might be his wife in name only, as he informs her is the case, she leaves on the midnight express for St. Louis. Jack Clifford also on his way to St. Louis surprises her by boarding the same train. She carries a dump of Ned Ramsey and his mother critically regarding them as the train moves off. She begins to weep bitterly as she realizes the scandal which she knows must follow. Chapter IV The Mystery House of Ormsley Gradually the steady motion of the speeding train bulled my emotions to rest. And as Jack took himself off to the smoker, I felt the bliss of a welcome slumber stealing over me. I fell asleep and dreamed that I was groping in a dark cavern, in my dream I saw myself harrassed by fear and shivering with cold, suddenly transported from the cavern to the edge of a mountain precipice where only a narrow space of earth was between me and the frightful gorge below. Then I felt the force of some unseen power from behind me urging—shoving me helplessly toward the vawning abyss. With a smothered scream I opened my eyes and gaped about me in a flazed sort of way. I breathed a sigh of relief as I held the light of morning. It was eight-thirty and we only a few miles out of St. Louis. I saw no sign of Jack and wondered if he had by any chance gotten off at one of the smaller stations. But as the train moved slowly into the great train yards, I was suddenly distillioned. For seemingly out of nowhere Jack appeared to help me off the train. But despite the fact of the long hurriedly drove me south being last fullfillled I could not see the stage into the station. I saw a moment my eyes widened in every detail of the jack gallantly tipping the cover here; the hurrying through so seemed so cogitious lives and hardly conquered the tell all about them. "Come on let's hop in here where are you stopping and the noise of the city ignored strangely anxiously by me. The trip, the creepiness and the noise of the city had gotten into his consciousness spurring him on to soils of times. But his wounds brought on reclamation of dismay living my life. Who am I? I have not decided what I saw yet. I cannot put my finger on my teeth and always best back the tears of dismay from in my eyes. "Haven't decided? Will it time you were knowing. You can't conveniently remain out here in front of the station you know. Don't you know any one here—any friend? "Taxi!" the cabman reached for my bags and gave us a questioning glance. "Yes, drive us to 33—Pine street," "tack' where are you carrying me?" "I demanded. 'To' Mrs. Grimsley's rooming house. She's a friend of mine and you'll get good treatment. You've got to stay some where and her shack's as good as any." "But Jack" "I began timidly. He sensed my thought. 'Oh ill not father you; I'm putting up at the N. M. C. A. I never insist on a girl liking me when I see she is 'hent the other way.' Then in a kind voice: 'I'm sorry this happened to you Maxie. But you know I never meant to criespromise you for how could I know you were coming to St. Louis?' It was rotten of Watson to throw you over after tying you to the altar. Well here we are. Now you just tell, her you want room and board and she'll fix you up. I've got an appointment at the 'Y at eleven—Love kid and good luck.' I stood for a few minutes watching the ear roll out of sight. I was glad to be rid of Jack but afraid and uncertain of myself when left alone. The cold wind was wrapping my too thin coat about my freezing limbs. Turning to the door with a sinking heart I pressed my thumb to the door bell. I noticed how low and heavy the clouds hung as if a storm the atteneded. A carpet of snow that had refused to thaw lay spread over the level lawns. I shivered and moved my hand toward the bell again when the door opened unobesessly and a woman stood framed in the opening. She made no move to speak—only fixed me with a questioning stare that itself demanded my reason for disturbing her. The cold wind whipped, about on the narrow, porch and made me edge closer to the open door. Still she made no move nor even spoke. "I have just come to the city from Othetie and I'm looking for a place where I can get a room and board." I hesitated an instant to shift my weight from one frozen foot to the other. "My rooms are all full and I don't give board any more." She started to close the door, when I gestured for her to wait. "Could you please direct me some whay?" I must frozen and I don't know a person in the city." She eyed me suspiciously for a moment. She opened the door a little wider. "Come on in and get warm!" she invited grudgingly. "Sorry, I can help you find a room." I followed her inside where she asked me to take off my wraps and sit down while she phoned a friend to see about my room. Turning from the phone, she asked "How much do you want to pay for a room?" My finders chimed nervously at my small loeah where the remaining few dollars of my first falling twenty. I had almost one hundred dollars. She nodded my congratulations and replaced the traveler. Turning around she looked me over critically. "Now Miss--" I looked. I said, not stopping to think in the sudden impulse which had prompted me to give my malden name. "Well Miss Brooks, I can see that you're not hunting any extra expense. Now I have a little plan which I hope you'll like. I've met girls before who came to St. Louis for one reason or another from small towns. And all most always they are—broke! But like your, looks and believe> I'll try to help you. "Oh if someone if you only would," I be taken to sob like a child. She never interfered, just let me cry it out. When at last she looked up she was gazing out the window with a far away expression in her eyes that made her look tired aged even though I had judged her to be not more than thirty-five. I saw that streaks of grey were beginning to show among the black silky strands of her hair. The small hands resting in her lap were reddened and the cords stood out as if from some terrible strain. Just then a weird sound whistled some where near and I shuddered as I drew farther away from the frosted window. "It's the sign of the storm," she said without turning her head. "It's always like that. The wind has a peculiar way of whipping about this corner of the house and if one doesn't know, it's kind of spooky. But come on up stairs. I have a room on the third floor which I think you'll like. The heat isn't very good but I'll put up a coal stove for you." "But I thought you said," "Never mind what I said. I don't rent my rooms to every body. You just come on up and get some rest then we'll talk." Without another word she picked up the heaviest of my bags and motioned for me to follow her up the winding stairway. Although the house was unusually large I saw no signs of life. I peered into corners and looked askance at the heavy closed doors; but if the age worn rickety' stairway or the death-like stillness of the gloomy atmosphere held any secrets they held them well. I was left to draw my own conclusions, concerning the mystery surrounded by Ornsele. snowflakes flutter back, and come their way in trouble competing with their friends, within- standing with the other three of the arctic trees, one of whom is the last to die. I looked out and discovered that the trees had been drawn down into their tunnel. The storm was immense, and in the center of the snowy forest and covered with melted yellow snow, on the other side of the tunnel, stood a small wooden bench with its door opened and a pair of mirrors with the worn wooden pillar, covered with the stones. I sat down in a small stretch behind the chair and tried to throak her as she closed the door and disappeared. I thought I was alone but she had not asked me how I was running me what I had done and how I was going to pay for it and how I was going to pay for it. I could not believe it and was too tired to care what other people might be had. Opening my suit case, I can toil the soft lingering into the long dresser drawers. The tiny hand on my wrist watch pointed to five o'clock when I finally finished unpacking the last bag. I crossed over to the window and began gazing down into the street below. The snow was falling thickly and it was growing darker. The window panes rattled loudly, and the whole scene was utterly repulsive to my sensitive nature. I wondered what strange happenings—what unusual chain of events I was about to become involved in. Who was the real Mrs. Ormsley who hid her soul behind a mask of indifference; what was her life story and what kind of work did she have in mind for her? I turned from the window and began to undress myself. I would sink into the oblivion of a peaceful slumber and perhaps she dawn of morning would bring me light. (To Be Continued Next Week) Mazie is now in St. Louis. What strange-experiences awaits her in the mysterious house of Mrs. Ormsby? Houston Votes Bond Issue To Improve Negro Schools Houston Votes Bond Issue To Improve Negro Schools PRESIDENT JIM WEST HOUSTON, Texas, Nov. 25—The colored school system of this city will profit considerably from the school bond issue voted by the city a few days ago. A definite program providing for the enlargement and improvement of the fifteen existing schools and the erection of sonic new ones, has been worked out in detail, it is said, by the school board, after a careful survey of the need. Additional grounds are to be purchased in the case of five or six schools; four new buildings are to be erected, and fifty or sixty classrooms to be added to present buildings, besides a number of large additions to be used as play grounds and auditoriums. Upon pledge by the school board that Negroes would share proportionately in the improvements. provided the bond issue passed, the Negroes voted almost unanimously for its passage. matter involves every here in our state when you leaders swake and get busy for a square deal. We have many broad groups. Justice loving white citizens in our imperial Missouri. These are determined that justice shall be done all, true seems more bent on a square deal for all the children of the state, black and white alike, than the State Supreme judge of Public Schools, Hon. Charles A. Leo. Everybody knows that St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Louis are national love and children school equally with other citizens in school facilities and salaries according to credits and charges of the work done. Sedalia, Hanover, Tap, Girardeau, Springfield, Layette, Carthage, Liberty, Marshall and a few others get liberal treatment. This equals Illinois, New York and Massachusetts tts, and excels most if not all other states we know it or have heard of. Where praise and honor is due these should be given fearlessly and mustfully, where we can help matters by publishing and stumbling the bad by complaining of the unjust treatment received, we should reverently and sincerely do this. In our state alone, as systems of burden is too heavy on the small and weak districts if all children are to share alike, as the state law provides both in school equipment, advantages and prepared teachers. We, I say it boldly, colored parents, and patrons in such places will have to tax ourselves as they do in North Carolina and in other southern states and make up what it takes in library and of other needs to equalize school facilities and conditions in such places for federal children. For although the law has been made and is executed by others, yet the other rule of self first does take precedence. Rural Education In many cases facilities for Negro rural education is inadequate. With very few exceptions, the colored schools have failed to develop an interest in rural problems. The majority have not even tried. The explanation of the indifference is in the conviction of the colored people that the way to prosperity and happiness is the study of literary subjects only and especially the classical languages. In this they were only following the example of the white people, who long ago saw the error of their belief and changed. The conviction is emphasized by the life of drudgery which the pupils in colored schools have always seen to be the lot of the colored, farmers. "A partial explanation for the failure of the schools in the rural district lies in poorly prepared agricultural teachers, who have themselves a weak hearted belief in rural life. The conclusion is that the first step in rural education should be the utilitarian advocacy of the theory and practice of gardening and plant cultivation. If the farmers colored poplars Twenty-five per cent of the Nebraska of Missouri live on the farm, twenty per cent of the whites live on the farm. The relationships of these two countries are so vital that they can be applied to the indifferent and hostile to the wogate of the other Ternes. KM25 farms in the state, in total of 10,000 acres, are valued at $20,000,000 owned and funded by Nebraska and others. In the last four years more money have been raised to support companies, a few years of some $20,000,000 in seven southeastern Missouri counties. This land is valued at $20,000,000. No class of people can be well neglected for the breeding, breeding, ignorant music and crime. If the Negro is denied the training which he needs to master a better man and a better citizen, we support our abolished life and bring down the average to a lower level. Training of the right kind will replace unsatisfactory homes with respectable ones, neglected shacks with attractive shoalhouses. The multiplication of small one room schools which has led to the movement for consolidation in the case of the white children, has not extended to the colored public schools of the state. Colored schools, with the exception of a few, have never multiplied fast enough to be too close together, and it is not uncommon to find colored children who walk four and five miles to attend school. No Danger of Over Education "Broadly speaking there are ten million illiterates in the United States ten million who cannot read, write or speak a sentence of our English American language. Less than 30 per cent of white children of high school age go to school at all. Only 12 per cent of those who enter high school finish. Twelve million in the United States of college age, but less than 1 per cent of these go to college and less and 1/2 of 1 per cent of this 4 per cent each year get a college or university degree. And so there is no danger of the nation becoming over educated at this rate, even if there is danger of over building and physically equipping great mansions for high schools at too great a burden in taxes and evercharging poor students for entrance, books and other useless paraphernalia now required for a person to finish college. "Nothing may mislead so much as figures, nor is anything more odious at times than comparisons, yet these are constantly quoted. Figures show Missouri as sending for public schools property $169 per white child of school age and $104 for colored, white Georgia spends $38 per white, $7 per Negro; Virginia, $73 per white, $23 per colored; N. Carolina, $52 per white and $12 per colored; Kentucky $35 per white and $29 per colored; Arkansas, $32 per white and $9 per Negro; Alabama $40 per white and $8 per Negro; South Carolina, $60 per white and $5 per Negro. "Our Missouri seems from these figures to stand at the head for providing buildings, but she spent on her public schools for white children last year $30,220,039, for Negroes $1,279,100 or 3 per cent of the total. North Carolina spent 12 per cent, W. Virginia 5 per cent, Virginia 11 per cent, Alabama 9 per cent, Georgia 14 per cent; Kentucky 8 per cent, South Carolina 11 per cent of their total for Negro public schools. This brought our great state back to the foot, and she does stand 32nd in her total of Negro illiteracy. 10.2 per cent, with Oklahoma and West Virginia 12.2 and 12.4 per cent respectively. All other former slave states stand much lower down to Louisiana, which has 36 per cent of the State's Negro population illiterates. But North Carolina has 51 per cent of her Negro children of school age in school; Texas 88 per cent, while Missouri colored children are so scattered that over 40 counties have never had a Negro school, and the drift, and move into cities are closing up numbers of schools each year, so that only 78 per cent of Missouri colored children were in school at any time last year. Twenty-two per cent are not. All the other two slave states are behind us because of larger numbers, yet by getting aid from charitable funds, Slater, Penbody, Philsus-Stokes, Jeanes, Rosenwald, and the Rockefeller General Education Board Funds, are fast catching up and Missouri, so far as her rural public schools and education for her colored children, will have to bow to South-Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana, unless she too is not longer overlooked and passed by the agents who are doing match to help rural education in all the other former slave states, whose rural schools can be in no worse plight than many rural Missouri school districts for page from my microsoft Reasons for Resignation, Jeans, Farewell and Other Funds Not Passive Up, Missouri. An Ex- Share, State, Also. While the large Nego population in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and other former slave states has caused directors of the Ponbye, James, Phils Stokes, Rosenwald, Rockefeller, and other charitable funds to divert and spend these funds wholly in all the former slave states except of Missouri, yet the isolated and scattered situation of rural colored people of Missouri in her poorer school districts, also having the dual system of education, make many rural schools for colored children impossible, and her needs in spots are greater than Mississippi in spots and Louisiana; 40 counties with some 2,000 colored children which never had local schools open to them, and unless some outside help helps treen they never can get schools under present Missouri school laws. Scores of the poorly supported Negro schools which are maintained by starvation waged, all prepared teachers have been closed in the past ten years. Many parents in these cities have been forced to sell and partly give away good farms to move into the towns for school and church privileges. In southeast Missouri some 20,000, or more have come up from Arkansas. Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and other southern states to stay, are setting fine and making good corn, cotton and other crops, and enriched their landbords and making a better living for themselves. Their 5,000 or more children are almost beginners, or are not higher than the second or third grades. These are being taught in temporary shacks. Some are crowded in tents with a dirt floor, no seats worthy of being so called, many have 60, 80, 110, 123, 140, 160, 180 and 210 crowded together in one box rooms. Conditions here are deplorable, yet improving, and are better than these people left in the far South. In northeast, northwest and west Missouri are scores of the colored children, placed in most desolate lonely spots away down in some town, across the railroad track, out on the edge of town, behind the gateyard, some on a narrow 50 foot with no playgrounds except in the road or railroad, or the branch. Some schools have no outhouses, no closets but the branch or woods. In one place the branch is the only wash basin and drinking nail they have and from it the children use their hands or hats as dippers. We saw all this in very recent surveys. The half of the bad conditions actually seen and inspect cannot be set down in words. The struggle has been and is being yet made by over 3,000 colored farmers to stay and keep their families and children away from towns and cities and back on the farms. This is also being done by 30,000 colored fields and helpers, also by 3,000 newcomers, share crop farmers and their families in southeast Missouri. In many times their suffering and struggle do equal Laon and his sons Leonidus and his 303 at Thermopole Although not book learned, these few seem to feel that farms and farming are a people's trust source of greatness. These farmer are old Missouri settlers, and not the 20,000 who recently migrated and are in Butler Peniscola, New Madrid, Mississippi, Scott, Perry, Dunklin and Stoddard counties, recently reclaimed and now being made rich by cotton raising our brethren coming up from the South. "There is great need now of help from the outside. From either some of the funds that have been helping our 'fartest down' brethren in the South to rise, or help from, some of the charitably and generously rich of our own grant, broadgaged and imperial Missouri State. Something ought to be done to get these local colored fanglies to help themselves with better and more healthily located, equipped and manned schoolhouses with playgrounds and health-giving activities. The Rockefeller, James Rosenwald, Peabody State and other funds and charities should not longer overlook Missouri, because Negro children in her three metropolitan cities have such due proportion for their equal education. It is her rural Negro public schools that are in such terrible affliction and in so great reproach. These need immediate attention and aid. A special agent should be appointed to go among and organize these people for self-help and for properly earning and getting outside aid, both for consolidated and better school houses, playgrounds, and for better prepared rural loving and more habitable teachers." KIP WROTE 3000 WORD LOVE NOTE CONTINUED FROM PAGE NINE have only me, maybe I will hear you when you answer the above questions. Could Keep On Forever Well, ood scout, I hope I am not writing too much and not tiring your beautiful brown eyes, because I will end here if I am. Do you want me to close and say good-bye till my next letter or shall I continue? I have so many things to say and feel like writing this morning that I could keep on forever. I wonder why it is dear, that sometimes my pen goes right along without stopping and other times it takes me hours to write one little page. Maybe you know why it is, if not, I will tell you the secret. It is because of the letter Alice which you wrote me. I have it right before me on the desk and every time I look at it, it gives me new ideas and urges me on. That's the reason love, that this morning my heart is overflowing with thoughts and my mind is on this letter. When your letters used to arrive in Washington, I really didn't half know what it was to get them, but now when I can't hear from you I fully appreciate what each one meant. I would sit down after receiving them and could write hour after hour telling you all the things I had done and how awfully glad I was to hear from you again. Yes, dear heart, those days when I was in Washington, D. C. are gone and now I can't tell you how glad I am when your letter arrives because no letters come to me from my little girl. However, darling one did and I am trying my utmost to tell you what that one letter is going to do for me during all these long months Whenever I am feeling very depressed and all hope seems gone, I will take out that letter and read over some of the living stories which your little hand has written upon those blank pages, and when my eyes fall upon those outstanding words, which say, "You are how my only one and I will be true to you Leonard forever," just those few words, darling girl, are enough to cheer me up again and give me courage, strength, and hope to carry on and see it through. Alice, dear, I want to thank you again for those two sweet pansies and the palm cross, which will also remind me of you, because your loving lips have kissed each one. You asked me to take good care of them and love each one. Yes, dear, your boy has them in his pocket all the time and will carry them around wherever he may go. I have kissed them too, and thought while doing so that I was kissing your own sweet lips. You, also, have two roses' which you have pressed, and I have two pansies. Let us see, sweetheart, when I return to you if you still have the roses and I the pansies. You are unable to write me, it's true, but you said you have begun your diary and are putting everything you do in it. Yes, loved one, although I won't know all the things you will do and how you have been, as you said you can write each day in your dairy and let me see it when my journey is finished. Tells of His Lovelty When you get my letters, post cards, and souvenirs, put it down in your book and say if you were glad to hear from me and if my letters cheered you up. Put everything down, Alice, because I want to know all you do and how much you missed your boy. In your letter, darling, you said not to forget you and to be square and fair with you because you were being true to me. Let me tell you, loved one, I will never forget you dear, for you are always in my mind day and night because my heart is just longing to be with you again and hold you in my arms. Yes love, to tell how much I love you and how unhappy your boy has been all these days and weeks. If I were with you sweetheart, you would be nice to me and let me show you with 'my warm lips and my caresses how I have missed you. Oh? Alice, as you said, life is not worth living if the one you love is far away. It is hard dear, very, very hard, but you and I can fight the battle, no matter how long it facts, for our love for each other cannot be broken. Can it, Oh! love, do not for one moment think that time will have anything to do with my forgetting you. No darling, you ought to know me better than that. Haven't I proven my loyalty to you and haven't I shown what you mean to me and will mean in the future? Alice, dear, you said you have never loved me more than you do now and have never missed me as much. Yes, love, but as time rolls on, won't I gradually be forgotten and then you finally won't miss me at all? Oh! you won't forget me and you must miss me as you do now. Say you won't forget, dear, and as time passes by I will still be as close to your lonely heart as I am now. Promises More Letters After describing Panama and telling of his joy, another letter was arrived as he was writter to her, he continued: It has taken me all morning love to write this long letter to you and, I believe, it is the longest I have ever sent you. You see what hearing from you does to me. It gives me hope, courage, happiness and sets my-heart full of fire. That is why I am able to write so much this morning, because whenever I get your letters, my mind is full of loving thoughts for you and it seems so easy to tell you all the things that are tucked away in my heart. Oh! Alice if I could only hear from you every day what a difference it would make and how easier it would be for me to write you. Never mind, dear, I will try, hereafter, when I am on the steamer and out West to write you interesting letters and try to tell you how much you mean to me. Those two sweet letters darling, will help me to forget my loneliness and, will drive away the blues, and whenever I feel unhappy and wondering if you are being true, I will read over what you have told me. I am so very glad to know, Alice, that my ring is still on your singer. I put it on and please, dear girl, don't take it off.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE NINE kings for life or kings and queens ascended to the throne for life. A noble hope stood behind the election of Bishops for life, the same noble hope that stood behind the ascendency of kings and queens in civic government. But the kings abused their power and privileges, and in too many instances, used great authority in a cruel and unjust manner. So also have Bishops clothed in great power and authority, abused these powers to the utter disgust of many who would honor and obey them. Good kings and queens in ancient days brought happiness and prosperity to their subjects because they more nearly represented the ideas of that form of government. Good bishops in our respective Methodisms have brought like blessings to churches that have honored them because they more nearly represented the ideals of the noble Episcopacy. Their names are revered and their memory is sacred. Great names arise out in the history of the A. M. E.; the C. M. E.; and the A. M. E. Z, churches because they have such great self-sacrifice and consolation. They laid a foundation upon which they laid a foundation with the same spiritual material. But Alas, in too many instances their successors have strayed away from the path of unselfish devotion and sacrifice. In those days and times our Bishops for the most part are men who have been elevated to the high place by money and political chicanery. Many of them, too corrupt in private life to be worthy of the respect of decent people, have been elevated to become the spiritual fathers of our families and the leaders of our group. This class of Bishops has used the great powers of the Episcopacy as a great cruel king of years gone by would use his great authority to force his subjects into submission. Bishops, these days use their great authority as implements of revenge to get even with ministers whom they dislike or who might have opposed their election. They use it to crush ministers who show a tendency to think for themselves and to express their thoughts even when not in accord with the Bishop's thoughts. They use it to keep down manhood and growth. They use it to get money and to enrich themselves at the expense of a devoted people. They use it to buy the place and then spend the rest of their time paying themselves back for what they spent to be gifted. Since they are the only ones looking after the accounts we cannot know when they have taken enough. If a minister looks like he wants to ask questions about his greed and graft he is immediately marked for the bone yard and ere long his skull will be hoisted on a stick near the front door of the Bishop's kraal. He is a dead one. This my friend is what is the matter with the Methodist churches. These crooked Bishops are the cause. They charge that some of the ministers are insubordinate and strong headed. But they need to go and look in a looking glass if they want to find out what is the trouble with the church. No greater misfortune could befall a church then to have a weak, crooked, unprincipled and morally corrupt man as a Bishop. This is what several of the churches have and the trouble in the church is but the natural revolt of the spirit of justice and fair play struggling to get a chance. Nothing is more evident than that our old Episcopal form has been outgrown and a new and better form of church government must be instituted. The people demand it. The age demands it and in time we must have MULVIHILL FURNITURE CO. 112-114 North 12th St. CASH OR CREDIT November Sale of New Furniture AT SAVINGS OF 1/2 OR MORE FREE! FREE!
