LEADING MISS. C. ZENS TAKE STAND AGAINST MOB Publish A Pamphlet Giving Lynching Data To Be Circulated Throughout The State, To Create Favorable Public Sentiment. Governor, Supreme Court Judges And Legislators Taking Leading Parts In The Movement. JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 7—Sheriff, their deputies and all other law enforcement officers are urged to use armed force and to risk their own lives in suppressing lynching and mob violence, in a pamphlet entitled "Mississippi and the Mob," which has just been brought out by state officials, officers and leading members of the State Bar Association, and other prominent citizens. Among the signed statements making up the book are ringing declarations against mob violence by Governor H. L. Whitfield, Speaker Thomas L. Bailey, of the House of Representatives, President L. N. Flowers, of the State Bar Association, a number of judges of the Supreme Court, members of Congress, prominent, lawyers, educators, churchmen, and club women. Prominent place is given also to the recent anti-lynching statement made by the Mississippi Women's Committee on International Cooperation, which has since been affirmed by hundreds of Mississippi women at meetings throughout the State. An important section of the pamphlet is given to suggestions for the prevention of lynching. Sheriffs are urged to announce in advance that they expect to do their duty in every case, even at the risk of their own lives; to employ as deputies only those persons who agree to go to the same length in upholding the law; ascertain the names of men who are opposed to mob violence and to swear these in as special deputies at the first sign of trouble; to remove to the fails of other counties prisoners threatened with mob violence; and to call upon the Governor to order out the 'National Guard if needed. The lynching statistics for the last forty years are given, showing 530 victims to the discredit of Mississippi. The popular fallacy regarding "the usual cause of lynchings is also mercilessly exposed. Photographs of a recent lynching are shown and "respectfully referred to the next Grand Jury." State officials, members of the Bar Association, and other prominent people are distributing the pamphlet widely and are offering medals in each congressional district for the best essays on the subject by high school students. This pamphlet and the recent statement by Mississippi women represent the first organized efforts in this State to mobilize public sentiment for the eradication of lynching. They are regarded as highly significant and are expected to have a profound effect on public sentiment. ASK NOMINATIONS FOR THE MME. WALKER MEDAL NEW YORK. December. 7.—Nominations for the 1925 Mme.

The St. Louis Argus BURGLARS STEAL $1,250 FROM 2 LOCAL FAMILIES Break Into Homes Of Edlins And Caldwells During Men Absence Police are searching the city for burglaries who, on Wednesday of last week, broke into the flat at 4299 W. Finney, during the absence of its residents, Mr. and Mrs. Issac Edlin, and Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell, and stole clothing, jewelry and money having a total value of $1250. The Caldwell family, of which Miss Nellie Dunlap, local school teacher, is a member, estimated their loss at $550, which included $15 in cash. The intruders overlooked $50 hiddn under a rug. The Edlin's loss included a valuable watch which the owner prized highly.

YORK Whereabouts Of Two Principals In The Rhincelander Annulment Suit Unknown. Kip Hiding, Wife Is Away For A Rest. NEW YORK, Dec. 9—Mrs. Alice J. Rhinelander and Leonard Kip Rhinelander, the two principals of the Rhinelander annulment suit, in which the latter was refused an annulment of his marriage to the former, have "parted roads" here. Seeks Rest Mrs. Rhinelander left her home at New Rochelle early Tuesday morning. Her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, accompanied her. Information as to their destination was refused. Saturday, Mrs. Rhinelander said that she wished to take a rest in Florida. Kip Goes Away Rhinelander has also gone into seclusion. He left the Hotel Gramatan at Browville Sunday, with Captain Toby Peterson, his body guard, without leaving a forwarding address. It is reported Rhinelander has decided to take a long trip under an assumed name. Lee Parsons Davis, counsel for Mrs. Alice Beattie Rhinelander, said that if young Rhinelander could not be found, service of papers in the separation suit Mrs. Rhinelander intended bringing, would be made by publication. Isaac Mills, counsel for Kip Rhinelander, asked for a new trial and if that is denied, an appeal will be taken. Deranged Man Appears A man who described himself as Theodore Dorn of Dumont, N. J. forced his way into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Miller, adjoining the George: Jones house at 763 Pelham Road, New Rochelle, Sunday. Mrs. Miller is a sister of Mrs. Rhinelander, "Hello, Grace," he ssaid to her "I am Leonard; and Ive come back to Alice." Dorn was examined by Dr. R. Berry Hapon, assistant police surgeon, who said he appeared to be suffering from dementia praecox. He was locked up. The case attracted world-wide attention because of the money involved. The trial lasted five weeks. Rhinelander's chief complaint was that his wife deceived him as to her color. Almost as soon as the case was started, it was evident that few, if any, believed that Alice had deceived Kip as to her color. However, what ever doubt was left in the minds of the jurors, was dispelled when Mrs. Barbara. Reynolds testified that she asked Rhinelander: "Is it true that you married the daughter of a colorful man?" "Yes," was Rhinelander's reply, "and we are happy." Another point that had much weight with the jury was a letter that Klip wrote Alice after he had voluntarily left her, in which he wrote. Honey bunch, I hope yoh win the case. Get the best lawyers obtainable, regardless of cost. Your loving husband, Leonard. Seven Questions the jury was called upon to answer. I. "At the time of the marriage of the partis, was the defendant colored and of colored blood?" Yes.

J., Dec. 10.—Two of Montclair's wealthiest white citizens were saved from probable death in a fire which swept their home at 49 Prospect avenue. early Tuesday morning due to the courage and possession of mind of their butler, Reuben Booker. The faithful employee suffered painful burns in his rescue efforts, but he forget his miseries when told that, his employers were safe. Braves Flames Booker awoke about 6:15 Tuesday morning to find his third floor room filled with smoke. Although nearly suffocated, he dressed and hurried down to the second floor where he awoke his employers, Mr. and Mrs. John B. Milliken. When the three sought to escape they found that flames and thick smoke had enveloped the stairs leading to the first floor. Booker bade the Millikens to stay in their rooms, while he attempted to get through the flames to summons help. He rushed down the stairs through the flames and turned in a fire alarm after which he collapsed. A neighbor, Herbert W. Ellis, heard the Millikens' cries for help telephoned the fire department. The flames had made great headway when the firemen arrived and the trapped individuals were in eminent danger. The fire fighters hurriedly raised a ladder and the two walked down to safety. The fire, caused according to Chief Jethro by spontaneous combustion in a pantry on the first floor, and according to Milliken by defective wiring, was extinguished after an hour and a half fighting by the firemen. The damage was about $10,000. The whole town of Montclair spent its praises on the herosom of Booker. The Millikins promised him a handsome reward and a lifetime position. HON. ARTHUR G.

ALLEGED MOB VICTIM FOUND ALIVE AND WELL Associated Negro Press ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 9—Careful inquiry by the Inter-racial Commission into the alleged burning of Mrs. Cora McKnight by a mob near Winnisboro, Louisiana, which was widely reported in the press, reveals the fact that Mrs. McKnight is alive and well, that the story of a lynching is without foundation, and that the partly burned body discovered in the Tensas Swamps is believed to be that of a white woman murdered elsewhere and brought to the swamps for concealment. When the body was first discovered, Mrs. McKnight and her husband were missing and the suspicion in Winnisboro was that she had been murdered and burnt, perhaps by her husband. This was later disproved, however, when both were found at Cotton Valley, Louisiana, where McKnight was placed under arrest on a charge of bootlegging. Further investigation has led to the belief that the victim was a white woman and efforts are being made to ferret out the mystery of her murder. The sensational lynching story which went out in connection with the affair is deeply regretted by members of both races. RAISE MONEY TO AID THE PROSECUTION OF SLAYERS KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 9 —A steady growth is reported here, in a fund being solicited under the direction of the East Tennessee news, to enable an aged widow mother to hire a lawyer to prosecute two white men, Charlie Kirkland and Carl Meygan, who are being held here for the "cold-blooded" murder of her son, Joseph Buckner. The whites stabbed Buckner in the neck because he demonstrated when they almost struck him with a rented automobile. They were riding with two women at the time. The men were held for murder without bond and a true bill returned against them by a grand jury. MANY BILLS FOR 69TH CONGRESS Anti-Lynching And Inter- Racial Are Among Those To Be Sponsored By The National Law Makers. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec 9 — During the present session of the sixty-ninth Congress, which convened Monday, December 7, many bills of special interest to colored people of this country, will be considered. In his message to Congress, Tuesday, President Coolidge covered the economic condition of the country contiucusively and devoted one paragraph to say that the Negro needed sympathy. The bills of vital interest to colored Americans is a bill which L. C. Dyer, Republief of Missouri, has introduced; to assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every state the equal protection of the laws and to parish the crime of lynching. The present Congress has a Republican majority in both houses; but there will be little chance of the Dyer bill becoming a law. The klan has too many members, both the House and Senate to pass that Bill. This bill was killed in the 67th Congress by the Klan, and it has more members in this. The 60th, than it had in the 67th Congress. A bill to provide for an Industrial Commission is expected to be introduced. It will provide for a commission of five persons, three of whom will be colored, to be appointed by the President. The salaries would be $7,000 for the chairman and $5,000 for each of the four remaining commissioners. This commission would study the economic conditions and labor problems affecting the Negro and try to formulate a policy of mutual understanding and confidence between the races. Representative Hood introduced a bill Wednesday to erect a monument in Washington, to all the Negro soldiers and sailors of this country. It provides for an appropriation of $500,000 on the condition that a like sum be raised by popular subscriptions. A pleasing problem affecting the 118,000 colored residents of Washington, will be the Bill on Public Bathing Facilities. Clarence O. Sherrill, a Wilson bidder, from North Carolina, in charge of buildings, and grounds, is sure to oppose certain infirm facilities for all citizens of the Capital. With a called meeting of the Trustee Board of Howard University for this month, to investigate Dr. Darkkee the president, will bring the University in the lineight. Representative Louis C. Crampman will likely introduce a bill to federate Howard University. In the hearings on this bill, the whole thing will come to light. In addition to the bills likely to be introduced, there is the possibility of some appointments of colored men. The term of Judge Robert H. Terrell us judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, will expire next April. He will hardly be re-appointed. However, a colored lawyer may get this appointment, which requires Congressional confirmation. There is some possibility of Haiti receiving a Minister from this government. It is possible a colored man may get that, which requires confirmation also. The Agricultural Department, the Civil Service Commission and the Treasury departments should be entered by Negro appointees. As the Congressional election comes off next November, the Negro will keep a close eye on the first session of the 58th Congress and many votes will be made or lost accordingly. AGED SERVANT RISKS LIFE TO SAVE CHILDREN IN COLUMBUS, OHIO FIRE Preston News Service COLUMBUS: O., Dec. 9—Mrs. Elizabeth Hauck tossed her infant daughter cut of a window into the waiting arms of A. Daniels, aged servant, who was standing in the yard, when a fire destroyed her home Thursday night. Daniels Catches Baby Her mother, Mrs. Susan Pirrung, and her sister, Miss Clara Pirrung, who lived with the Haucks, ran to a fire box to turn in an alarm, Mrs. Hauck ran to a window and shouted for Daniels. Daniels sleeps in a room above the garage. He heard Mrs. Hauck screening and as he ran to the house, Mrs. Hauck tossed the child out of the window and Daniels caught her. The baby escaped injury, and was taken to the home of a neighbor. Before firemen arrived, a neighbor obtained a ladder and placed it against the side of the house Mrs. Hauck, however, became hysterical and leaped out of the window. Daniels mounted the ladder and plunging into the smoke filled rooms upstairs, brought the children one by one to the window where he passed them out to the neighbor who was on the ladder. All the children were taken from the burning building in safety and were none the worse for their adventure. Mrs. Hauck hair was burned almost entirely off her head and she suffered severe burns on hands, arms and back as a result of her heroic efforts to save her children. Perhaps nothing calls for so little intelligence as finding "fault." FINANCE CORP. BUILDING NEAR COMPLETION Workers And Artists Are Nearing Finishing Touches.

Another tenant, who was among the early leases, is Attorney Freeman L. Marxin, who will occupy a suite of offices on the fourth floor. The names of other tenants will be published in The Argus next week. The Peoples Building contains $1 offices and nine stores with elevator service, hot and cold water in each room, steam heat, electric light, janitor service, and running ice water in the corridors.

A Square Deal For Every Man PAGES PRICE 5 CENTS COOLIDGE ACE QUESTION NN'L MESSAGE In Address To Congress, He Says Negro Race Has The Right To Protection From Violence. And To Enjoy The Fruits Of Labor, Advance In All The Arts Of Civilization Is Almost Beyond Belief. No Citizens More Loyal To Country. ANN'L ADDRESS COVERS ALL NATIONAL AFFAIRS WASHINGTON, D. I., Dec. 9.—President Coolidge's annual address to Congress was read Tuesday at noon marking the opening of the 69th Congress. The occasion lacked the spirit that manifested former message days, when the President personally addressed a joint session of the two houses. The delivery by the clerk, which required an hour and a quarter, was unmarked by applause until the end, and then it was perfunctory. The Colored Citizen Hundreds of thousands of colored citizens who awaited anxiously to know the chief executive's attitude on the affairs of the country, especially those pertaining to their affairs which are so urgently in need of attention, and his advice on the matters which would find the national legislative bodies in action, heard or read his statements. In particular he declared: "Nearly one-tenth of our population consists of the Negro race. The progress which they have made in all the arts of civilization in the last sixty years is almost beyond belief. Our country has no more loyal citizens. But they do still need sympathy kindness and helpfulness. "They need reassurance that the requirements of the government and society to deal out to them even handed justice will be met." "They should be protected from full violence and supported in the peaceful enjoyment of the fruits of their labor. Those who do violence to them should be punished for their crime. No other course of action is worthy of the American people. "Our country has many elements in its population, many different modes of thinking and living, all of which are striving in their own way to be loyal to the high ideals worthy of the growth of American citizenship. "It is fundamental of our institutions that they seek to guarantee to all our inhabitants the right to live their own lives under the protection of the public law. This does not include any license to injure others materially, physically, morally, to incite revolution, or to violate the established customs which have long had the suspicion of enlightenment society. "But it does mean the full right to liberty and equality before the law without distinction of race or creed. This condition can not be granted to others, or enjoyed by ourselves, except by the application of the principle of broadest tolerance. Bigotry is only another name for slavery. It reduces to serfdom not only those against whom it is directed, but also those who seek to apply it. "An enlarged freedom can only be secured by the application of the golden rule. No other utterance ever presented such a practical rule of life. State of Government "The age of perfection is still in the somewhat distant future, but it is more in danger of being retarded by mistaken government activity than it is from lack of legislation. "The functions which the Congress are to discharge are not those of local government, but of national government. "Local government is one of our most precious possessions. It ought not be infringed by assault, or undermined by purchase. "Our local habit and custom is so strong, our variety of race and creed so great, the federal authority is so tenuous, that the era in which it can function successfully is very limited. Government Economy "The wealth of our country is not public wealth but private wealth. No right exists to levy a dollar of the money of the people, except for a necessary gentle purpose duly authorized by the Constitution. "For the average family of five it means a tax, directly or indirectly paid of about $150 for national purposes alone. The local tax adds much more. War Debt "One of the greatest items can be ultimately extinguished. This is the item of our war debt. It would seem obvious that the sponsor this debt can be retired. The more the tax payer will save in interest, and the easier it will be to get funds with which to prosecute needed running expenses, constructions and improvements.

Questions for her should be addressed to Mme. Katherine Wilson, 3423 Indiana Ave., The Associated Negro Press, Chicago, Bhelyn—Yes, your hair has turned gray too early. As we have explained many times in these columns, worthy it without dividend or interest and acts as a ball and chain. If your hair is very fine, skinness, worry and anything that pudes to destroy the nerves and diminish the blood supply will cause the hair to fall and become gray. Miss Russet You complain of your hair being a dull and lifeless brown. You can certainly improve its appearance and give it a rich glow by a Henna rinse. Steep a small package of Henna tea leaves in a pint of boiling, water and strain. Then pour, while as warm as can be borne, over the hair which has already been washed, partially dried but yet damp. Return the mixture from the bowl to your puffer and pour back over the hair several times. Dry the hair without the aid of a trawl. Hazel—Your request for a formula for a strong face-bleach, would I fear, cause me to advise you against my better judgment. If I knew something of the texture of your skin, I might recommend a good day clay pack the formula of which I will be glad to send you if you will mail me a stamped envelope. Do not forget to tell me just how tender your skin is before asking for the formula. Artie-Hair, skin, and then weight control are subjects discussed at most every get together meeting among women. The beauty doctor is laboring consciously to understand every point of a woman's anatomy and is ready to assist you. Let us help you with your perplexing problems.

RQBINSON For Preston News Service LOVE AND LUST It was a lovely rose and stood alone. Sharing its fragrance with the passers-by. Its beauty, like some heavenly thing, outshown. A cheering delight to the tired eye. One, paused, impassioned by its lovely face; Then stooping, kissed it, drew it up to him; And as the hot blood in his veins did raise, He crushed its lovely petals from the stem. And where the pretty rose had stood alone, Sharing its beauty with each pass er-by. Only the thorny bush, its flower gone, Brought from each weary passing one a sigh. A single rose in simple beauty stood, A charming delight to each passing eye. If seemed a symbol of heart-cheering good, And heavy hearts grew light as they passed by. One paused, enraptured by its lovely face, And stooping kissed it, then with gentle hands, Supported it to keep its growing grace. And bound it to his heart with tender hands. Lo, where one pretty rose had stood alone The fruitful bush bore many lovely flowers. To cheer the passer-by whose hopes were gone. To keep him happy thru life's fleeting hours. THE MANDAMUS The Abilene and Southern Railway Company, a Texas rail carrier handing interstate traffic, with connecting terminals at Ballager, Abilene and Hamlin, Texas, has just given the colored people of the South a fine example in watchfulness and in keen knowledge of when and how to use the instrumentality of the law as a lever for justice. When the Abilene and Southern railway executives felt that the interstate Commerce-Commission, the only one and one child of Congress which is charged with the duty of supervising, interpreting and enforcing the commerce clause of the U. S. Constitution, had failed in performing in its relationship toward the Abilene and Southern line, the carrier forthwith went into Court and asked for writ of mandamus, which is an extra-legal writ seeking to compel officers or institutions, functioning under the obligation of the law, to do those things with which by law they are charged. Time and time again the Interstate commerce commission has rendered decisions directing southern railway lines handling interstate passengers in Jim Crow states to supply the same kind of equipment to colored passengers as it furnishes to the whites. Notwithstanding such judicial directions, however, year after year, dozens of Jim Crow lines furnish their colored interstate passengers with inferior equipment and discriminatory service and supplies of traveling comfort. And every time a baggage coach is wrecked on the side lines of a Jim Crow road, it dawns upon the thoughtful members of the Race that the halffront of half-rear baggage end, filled with huddled Negro passengers, is a devastated mockery of the preservation which Congress tried to make for our travelling group. And even more sad than this is the knowledge that platform oratory deyring the inequalities of railroad equipment overshadow by 100, to nothing, those who might follow the tactics of the Abilene and Southern Railway, which, when offended, invoked the forceful writ of Mandamus against the institution charged with duties imposed by law, to compel it to do, in its safeguarding of passengers and property, those things which it was obliged to do. It's a poor rule that doesn't work both ways. No task is hard if you like it. Fallur to keep the mouth closed has proved disastrous to countless men and fish. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, DEC. 11, 1925 A GILL IN THE CONVERSATION Copyright By DOUGLAS MALLOCH NOT just today I wish you joy, And happiness, and cheer, But on the next day, and the next, And so through all the year, For life is long the road is far, And many little bumps there are, And yet I hope a silver thread Runs all through all the days ahead. Not just today I hope that friends Will gather round your fire, But all the year I wish you love And all that you desire, May every little walk you, take Meet merry hearts, and hands to shake, And friends to greet you now and then At night when you come home again. Not just today I wish you peace, And certainty, and songs, I wish you all a friend can wish Today and all along. Let New Year's day remind us of The folks around us we can love. Of things to do, and things to say, Through all the year—not just to- day. (@ by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT By F. A. WALKER WHAT ABOUT NEXT YEAR WHAT kind of person shall I be next year? Put that question to yourself; ask it seriously, repeatedly and with the determination of giving it an intelligent, workable answer. It can do you no harm even if you full to find a satisfactory reply. When it comes up to you, don't shrug your shoulders, look the other way, or try to pass it by without a friendly nod and a hearty handshake. You have nothing to fear. Ask it again; "What kind of person shall I be next year?" Every day you are undergoing a physical and mental change. You are improving or deteriorating. Time is acting imperceptibly on your bone and blood, on your sinew and mind. You are gaining or losing. Life today is a preparation for the life of tomorrow, its new problems, changing form between every sunrise and sunset. Present life is the pathway to future life in the process of making, with which you have much to do. If you are going to be something worth while in the years that lie ahead, you would better begin today. If you are cruel, vindictive, quarrelsome, tyrannical and neglectful today, the probabilities are that you will be the same tomorrow. If you shirk duty this morning, the old gray-bearded timekeeper tomorrow morning will mark you a "shirker" without arching his brow or asking a question. The man or woman who cannot listen to wise counsel without becoming resentful or abusive, who cannot weigh and decide questions in fairness, is in a position where he or she should stop and look ahead. Tomorrow demands pay for yesterday's follies. Wranglers of today are likely to be bigger wranglers tomorrow, exhibiting more selfishness with a larger stock of temper, turning their wrath loose on any person within their reach. If in youth or in middle life, men and women do not realize that they are preparing for the future, they are doomed to an isolated old age, too impotent to make a bid for sympathy or success. The secret of preparing for next year is to live nobly today by casting out selfishness, envy and spite, and doing unto others as you would have others do unto you.

Lucky people climb the ladder of fame; unlucky ones walk under it without seeing it Mother's Cook Book The highest reward that God gives us for good work Is the ability to do better work—Hubbard. SEASONABLE FOODS COOK, evenings create the desire for hot dishes; for the evening meal, there is nothing more appetizing than a good, hot, well-sensored potato soup. For the normal family who enjoys the wholesome onion the following will be a cherished recipe: French Potato Soup. Fry two or three medium-sized onions in two full tablespoons of butter for 15 minutes, without browning. Meanwhile-cook three or four medium-sized potatoes until tender, add the baking potato water to the onions and cook them a little longer, while mashing the potatoes, then add them; mix well and add a quart of hot milk, salt and pepper and another two tablespoonfuls of butter. Serve piping hot with tiny cubes of bread browned in butter. Potato Rolls To one cupful of hot mashed potato add one-half cupful of potato water, and one cupful of scoured milk, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one-fourth cupful of butter or a mixture of butter and other shortening, one egg and a yeast cake dissolved in a little lukewarm water; add flour to make a batter which will stir well with a spoon. Set to rise and when light enough to knead, add flour to mix and knead (as little dissolved as possible). Put to rise again and when light, cut down, cover and rise again, then make into finger rolls or place three small bulbs of the dough in well-greased gem pans; when very light bake in a quick oven. Peach Cup Take eight cinnamon peaches, two eggs, one-half cupful of milk, one and one-half cupfuls of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt, and one teaspoonful of butter. Mash two, of the peaches and add the boiled egg yolks of two eggs, then the milk and the dry ingredients, and the butter melted. Pour some of the mixture into a buttered custard cup, and half a peach, cover with batter, sprinkle the top with sugar and bake in a moderate oven 20 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or a hard sauce. Neele: Maxwell (No. 1925, Western Newspaper Union.) WHEN I WAS TWENTY-ONE BY JOSEPH KAYE At Twenty-one: "Ding," the Celebrated Cartoonist, Studied to Be a Doctor. "THE less said about my position and aspirations at the age of twenty-one the better. I can't remember anything inspiring in that period about my ambitions. I was then aiming to become a doctor. I think it was my twenty-first year that I began reporting on a newspaper in order to make enough money to continue my medical course, and a strange turn of the wheel of fortune after I landed in the newspaper office, switched me over into another current and I never have gotten back"—"J. N. Ding (J. N. Darling)." TODAY: Jay Norwood Darling is one of the most human of all political cartoonists in the country. He draws daily cartoons for a syndicate of newspapers and cartoons for other publications and through these amusing pen-and-ink creations he has influenced political movements in no small way. The distinctive quality about "Ding's" work is that it is independent. He has his own opinions and he expresses them, irrespective of which political side the newspaper he serves favors. Darling is forty eight years old. (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Perennial motion is reinvented about three times in every two years. ENVY Have You Anything to Sell to Xmas Buyers? You Can Reach 50,000 Persons Through The Argus Bring Your Advertising Copy into the Office not later than Monday, Dec.14 FOR THE DECEMBER 18 ISSUE ture and spread the seed of RACE HATRED—resulting frequently, in race clashes—is doubtless based on the spirit of innate ENY. When one observes the economic and educational progress Negroes in this country have made since emancipation it is easy to see why certain groups of ignorant and shiftless whites, whose opportunities, (based on color) are practically unlimited in comparison with those of Negroes—cremisgribed as they are—outstrip most of these whites along educational and economic lines. It is then that these whites are impelled to advocate Nordic "supremacy," "racial purity," pass miscegement laws, grandfather clauses, deny the Negro the right of suffrage and resort to all sorts of subterfuges to further intimidate the American Negro, and hold him in subjection in the face of all these obstacles the Negro is making progress. Thus, the renewed efforts to repel the onward march in progressional development could grow out of nothing else save wildered ENNY. Vaulted white "supremacy" manifests itself frequently in the form of mob violence in various communities whenever an ambition Negro endeavors to better his living conditions and home-life surroundings. Whenever a Negro possesses sufficient manhood and courage and moves into better developed—so-called white neighborhoods—of any city to avoid rearing his children in sections where he is compelled to live along side vice dens, and where untoward influences abound, where the denizens of the underworld are his neighbors, he is looked upon by the whites of the new neighborhood as an "upish nigger" who wants to be white and get away from his people. Immediately efforts are made to restrain him from moving into the so-called white neighborhood. When he is brave enough to move in, then the gang of whites form mobs, attack his home, destroy his property and often take his life in their effort to force him to move back among the denizens of the underworld. These acts of violence against ambitions Negroes are unquestionably based upon the innate spirit of ENVY, no manifestly prevalent in the large class of ignorant, and shiftless whites. Their ignorance, bigotry and lattimore constantly enaw at their very heart strings. It is this class of envious whites that constantly endeavors to place obstacles in the path of the American Negro. The black man's salvation lies in a renewed determination to make of himself the ideal American citizen. Own and maintain the best home he can possibly afford; give his children the best education he can; let no man be more thrifty than he; more courageous, more religious, better-qualified, more industrious, more patriotic or more law abiding than he. As sure as there is a God in Heaven the obstacles that ignorant, lazy, shiftless. ENYIOUS whites place in his pathway will vanish as the morning dew before the bright sun on a clear day.

It is an oriental drama with locale laid in Singapore and the Indian Ocean. The biggest scene in the picture shows a huge ocean-going liner blown to atoms at sea when a cargo of benzine explodes. A cargo of wild beasts are turned loose, to battle with the terrorized passengers. Syd Chaplin will be seen in "The Man On the Box," Sunday. Chaplin is even funnier than he was in "Charley's Aunt," first as a debonair young millionaire, then a typical cab driver, a groom, a butler, and finally as ladies' maid involved in a frantic tussle for a set of plans for an aeroplane invention. Edmund Lowe in "Greater Than a Crown," will be the Monday special "New Brooms" will be presented on Tuesday. It is a typical American comedy woven with a great deal of charm around the sort of family we are all familiar with—a comedy centering about an upstart son, his father, a successful manufacturer of brooms, and their housekeeper, Bessie Love, Neil Hamilton and Phyllis Haver are the featured players. Estelle Taylor and Mahlon Hamilton are the stars in "Playthings of Desire?" on Wednesday, "The Girl Who Wouldn't Work" will be one of the features on Thursday and Friday.

Tom Mix is the star, with his horse Tony. It is a good, old fashioned meidrama with a rousing finish. It shows the western hero in a new light in some of the sequences—that of a tamer of women. He has often shown his capacity to make wild horses do his bidding, but, in this picture, he convinces his leading lady, played by Alice Calhoun, that she much prefers the wild of the indomitable male to the attentions of an Easterner. Evelyn Brent is the star in "The Broadway Lady," and the yakima Canutt in a western drama, on Tuesday-"Ruin-Tin-Tin," the dog star, will be featured in "Below the Line," on Wednesday-Frank J.

She throws herself at his feet, but he maintains his resolve by sending her way. His friend sends her back to him. He knows where her true love lies and honorably refuses to step in its way. On Monday, "The Lost World" will be the attraction.

Thursday and Friday, are all stellar attractions. THE VENUS This Friday and Saturday will be the last opportunity to see Reginald Denny in "California Straight Ahead" at the Venus Theatre.

It concerns two husbands married a little more than a year who suddenly discover each other's wife to be more attractive and desirable than their respective wives.

The vessel carried in the first instance a cargo of china clay bound for America. She had not been at wea more than 24 hours when she encountered a hurricane, and thereafter gale after gale lashed her across the Atlantic. All loose gear was carried away, the steering gear was smashed, and her crew was reduced to prayer.

Playing last year as a scrub, he won the faith and confidence of both coaches and was spoken of as a spirited lad who was sure to make good. This year he has been one of the outstanding stars of the team and is known because of his excellent fighting spirit as only three of the 1924 men remain for next year, he has heavier responsibilities than his preceding captain who each year has had a number of veterans on the squad.

The closing hours of the Turnery were rudelete with stirring incidents and brilliant play. The leaders were bunched for 1st place, as only 2 wins were needed by Cody, and 3 wins by Draper and Turner. Four wins would have given 1st place to either Frank Mitchell, Paige Brown, Fred Jones, Robert Turner G. C. C. Wilson. But the "Best-baid plans of mice and men often go "Agtee" as dear old Robby Burns said, and as Old Jake Schaefer said, "play all your games to win". So it was the happy lot of that thorough going Sportsman, Jesse Phillips to have and to hold for all time the handsome Silver Loving Cup, the 1B25 Langston Harrison Pocket Billiard Trophy. "Jess" felt that in order to be true to Our Social Room Motif.

The Director of the Tourney believing in fair play, publishes these: Rules governing the monthly elimination pocket billiard championship. 1. Each entrant shall agree to play 100 points against any entrant with whom he is paired. 2. That all elimination games shall be finished before 11:00 p. m. of the third Friday of each month. 3.

Each entrant shall agree that should he win that championship, he will carry out the agreement made by the 1925 champion; namely, to defend his title once each month as herein provided or forfeit the same. Cody took second prize, a merry widow cue donated by the Brunswick Co. Third place was tied for by Geo W. Draper and Mitchell Turner, so they began playing at 10:00 p. m. Friday stopping at 11:00 and finished on Saturday night—Turner 98 and Draper 109 thereby giving Draper the Social Membership of the "Y". The Consolation prize, a selection of any cue in The A. E.

Gans took his time in the first round and felt Cohen out. Then, finding that he knew nothing about boxing, Joe went after him in the second round and soon had him hanging over the ropes from straight-left-hand punches. Gans stepped back, and as Cohen straightened up Gans hit him a punch that staggered him back. Cohen was helpless, and as Gans was about to send another shot to his jaw, Cohen's second hurled a towel into the ring in token of defeat and the bout was stopped. Cohen weighed 156 pounds, Gans, 157½. Hen Hack says: 'Nobody but a teller with an undaredeveloped conscience ever makes a good criminal lawyer' THE ST.

First Meet In Madison Square Garden February 4 NEW YORK, Dec. 9—The "toughest" competition that De Hart Hulbard has had since his triple victory at the Knights of Columbus meet in New York several months ago is promised for February 4: On that date four of Europe's greatest athletes will compete with America's best in a meet at the new Madison Square Garden. The visiting quartette will be composed of Herbert Houben, the great German sprinter; Charles Hoff, the Norwegian all-around star and holder of the world's pole vault record and a leading broad jumper; Adrian Paulen of Holland, crack middle-distance runner and George Goodwin, English heel and foe expert. The coming of this quartet promises to give track athletes a tremendous impetus this Winter, and what promises to make, their arrival interesting is the fact that such will receive plenty of opposition in his own line. Houbain, ranked by Charles Paddock as the fastest man in Europe today, gained world-wide fame last Summer, when he took the measure of both Paddock and Loren Murchison in a 100-meter event in Berlin. Paddock who seldom competes indoors, will not be East this Winter to meet the German speed marvel, but Murchison now located in Chicago, can be counted upon to seek a squaring of accounts. Hubbard will be among other crack athletes such as Frank Hussey, and Lewis Coulter (holder of the world's indoor record for 100 yards at 9:4-5 secunds) who will be ready to match skids with Houbain.

"EVERY BOY IN ATHLETICS" AIM OF NATIONAL ASS'N NEW YORK, Dec. 9—Approximately 7,565,164 men and boys between the ages of 6 and 30 in this country now are receiving organized athletic training, a report compiled by Commissioner John L. Griffith for the National Amateur Athletic Federation shows. Major Griffith estimates that there are 26,438,000 men and boys in this country that fall between the age limits he has set, and the conclusion he draws is that while amateur athletics have advanced a great deal in recent years the task that controuns physical instructors still remains a stupendous one. The aim of the N. A. A. F. is "every boy in athletics," and a crusade-along this line now is being carried on through the columns of The Athletic Journal with marked success. It has been found that the PAGE SEVEN greatest work is being done in the elementary schools, while the high schools come second and the colleges third. Clubs with coaches and modern athletic equipment, are doing a great work. Major Griffith's report shows, being responsible for the major share of the development of the youth from 19 years to 30 years has received. In the grade schools of the country a great step forward has been taken in recent years, the report says, but the demand for equipment is still in excess of the supply that limited finances in many districts allows. More than ever before the boys are finding playgrounds at their disposal in the better schools and instructors who know what they are teaching are in charge of these fields in most cases. But aside from the growth which undoubtedly has been rapid, the analysis of youth in sports shows that the United States is far from being an "athletics nation" and a big task confronts those who want sane and scientific development of the youths of America. Additional Sport On Page 6 Whites Warned Against Invading Negro District Associated Negro Press WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec 9 —All white persons have been warned to stay out of the colored section of this city. It is felt that the warning is issued as the result of a number of whites having been beaten in the district within the last few months. Another angle to te- dent is that whites very often go into the district for pleasures, a prac- tice which is a source of embarrass- ment to the prejudiced whites who don't. Neither race is to go into the residence section of the other after nightfall. It is a fool rat that has but one hole to escape through. ST. LOUIS ARGUS PUBLISHING CO. 2312-14 Market St. St. Louis, Mo. MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representatives W. B. Ziff Co. 608 South Dearborn St. Chicago, Ill. There were three cardinal points in the famous Rhinelander case, which was recently tried in New York: Justice Bloed and Money. The courts representing Justice had to be appealed to in order to help settle a badly mixed affair. Blood was an important factor because it involved a taxi cab driver's daughter, who had Negro blood in her veins, and that of the son of the proud blood of the old Hugenort family of the East. Money was an important factor because the Rhinelanders had millions. Otherwise, the case would have never attracted passing notice. The jury in the case, rendered its decision in favor of Mrs. Rhinelander, thereby saying that Alice Beatrice Jones-Rhinelander is the legal wife of Leonard Kip Rhinelander, the heir of the old Augenott family of that name. Persons are said to have Justice when they receive their just dues. It is the consensus of opinion that Mrs. Rhinelander received her just dues in this case and remains the lawfully wedded wife of Leonard Kip Rhinelander In thinking of the even hailed Justice given this colored girl in the State of New York we cannot but realize how fortunate it was for her that she did not live in Mississippi or some other southern state. Had Alice Jones lived in Mississippi and attracted the attention of Kip Rhinelander, or any other white man, as often happens down there, she could never have married him. He could have debauched her, lived with her as his concubine, and even been the father of children by her, which often happens, but she would have been denied any action in court for there is an intermarriage law which prohibits Negroes and whites from marrying, yet, there is nothing to prevent them from enjoying marital relations, establishing a home and bearing children. There are any number of colored women living with white men all over the south, but they cannot get justice and legalize their marriage, nor properly name their children. Therefore, Alice Jones was fortunate in having New York for her home instead of Mississippi. And now that she has been declared the legal wife of Kip Rhinelander, she can go another step further and secure a divorce from him with an allowance that will take care of her the remainder of her life. And Justice again will have been meted out. Blood does not always control ones love. While the proud blood of the old Hugenott family, one of the most exclusive in the East, ran through the veins of Kip, the dash and fire in the eyes of this colored girl eliminated the call of the blood. While a member of this old exclusive family, she was personna non grata with the young ladies of his set. Altho Alice fell for him, the Negro race says that if he is too bad for his own, race he is not good enough for ours and we cannot accept him simply because one of our girls married him. We are as proud of the pure blood of our race as his father is of his and if there is to be intermarriage let it be of the best and not the cast-offs. The prominence given the case was due to the Rhinelander millions behind the case. There are thousands of colored women married to white men and living happily with them in this northland of ours. There is no howd made about it for there is not the vast amount of money involved. Money is a blessing or a curse, according to the use made of it. Money truly talked in this case but not quite loud enough that justice could not be heard. The interest in this case was national. More than half a million words were wired from New York to the various newspapers over the country, relating the progress of the Rhinelander case. Blood and money were involved and justice was sought to settle the conflict: Justice won and blood and money must acquiesce therein. Not sympathy but justice; not alms but a man's chance; not set apart, like a part of the government just as other citizens are what we really want. We ask no more and we will not be satisfied with less. It was long and covered a multitude of things. It covered or touched upon many specific questions which affect our national life. The World Court, waterways, railroads and coal mines all came in for their share. These, of course, should interest the American people alike. But, somehow, we are particularly interested in those words of the President which referred to the Negro. We have read them with care. We looked for a ray of hope in his message that might lighten the burden of ten million citizens of this country. We admit he said some nice things about us. He also said that those who do violence to us should be punished. Such words coming from the President of the United States should have some weight and influence. But did he say enough? We note under the caption or most of the subjects touched upon by the President, he made recommendations. But when it came to the case of the Negro, he simply made some statements about the present status of the Negro without recommendations. If the President had been making a public speech and used the same language with reference to the colored people as he did in his message to Congress, it would have been fine and we would have been the first to say, hurrah! But a message to the highest law-making body of the land, which is supposed to be a guide for national legislation, surely ought to have carried a little more weight and should have been a little more to the point. Of course, the words "point" and "weight" may need interpretation, depending altogether on who is under the weight, and whose case is at point before the bar of public opinion. We speak in the vein and thought of the colored people. We think, at times like these, it is no time to use weasel words in dealing with our case. We are under a strain. When the President says we have made progress as a race beyond belief, we look up in his face and cry "relief." Although we have made wonderful progress, yet our burdens have been heavy and we are still under a strain. What we now want is immediate relief. Mr. President, won't you act in our behalf? We hear much about a fund for this and a fund for that these days. All of which, no doubt are good and serve their purpose well. But, to our mind, there is no fund or no cause so urgent, as far as the colored people are concerned, as that of a DEFENSE FUND. It so happens, in a government like this of ours, that there comes a time when one's rights must be defended by law. This is particularly and specifically true with the Negroes of this country. Our rights as citizens are being gradually swept from us as if by some magic hand.

We can think of nothing dearer to a people in this life, than that of the enjoyment of the full-rights of citizenship. We can picture nothing more honorable than to see a man or woman stand, as it were, in the gates of a city, clothed with the rights of a "citizen"—See? How can you, as men and women, sit quietly by and see others enjoy this right, and at the same time, see it being depicted you and yours daily? Full citizenship is precious. It is worth fighting for and it is worth dying for. Most assuredly, it is worth a few dollars. You cannot make a successful fight without money. The local branch National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the logical agency through which to make a fight. We all see the need. But it is written: "None is so blind as he who will not see." Mrs. Lawton Rebuked For Her Speech Against Lincoln Before Daughters Of Confed. Preston News Service WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 9—FOLLOWING publication of Mrs. Lawton's speech before the South Carolina United Daughters of Confederacy, in which she denounced Abraham Lincoln as a man devoid of humanitarian principles, the Washington Evening Star rebukes this "Dawker of the South" for his "abhorrent" actions. What, would the average citizen, learned or unlearned, of pioneer shock or unleashed, of pioneer walk of a man or of Ellis Island, think of a double handful of mud outrageous and swiftly punishable as that act would be, it is only the faltest degree comparable with that of him or her, who finds it in the heart to besmirch the memory of an American whose greatness and whose tenderness make him the memory of which the great classic marble structure, pride of every American, is, but the outward and visible symbol. The newly elected president of the United Daughters of the Confederacy recently told the convention of that organization at Spartanburg, S. C., that Abraham Lincoln had no thought of kindness when he signed the emancipation proclamation; that his idea in freeing the negroes was to have women in the South work for women in Southern homes so that the Confederate troops would be compelled to return for the protection of their womankind. This Southern woman, fortunately for her sex and her fellow citizens of the South, does not express the opinion of that section, nor is she likely thus to promote the popularity and efficiency of a splendid organization that has done much good. She may be entitled to hold such belief in her own right, but will uphold the propriety to say the least of voicing it publicly. The Civil War ended 60 years ago with credit to both sides and to the leaders on both sides. However mistaken the adherents of one cause may have considered the followers of the other to be, they nevertheless, made a practice to give them utmost credit for the motives of their opponents. This practice, has grown until now, the Nation, welded inseparably together again, is proud of the good name and fame of all the leaders in that long period of national roll of honor stands the name of Abraham Lincoln, the just, the brave, the high-minded, above all, the charitable, the non-malicious. SOUTHERN NEWSPAPER PROVOKES RACE HATE Associated Negro Press RALEIGH, N.

Baptist Minister Praises Ghandi, Indian Leader Preston News Service PITTSBURGH, Pa. Dec. 9—In an address before several hundred Baptist laymen of Allegheny County, Dr. T. W. Wilkley, pastor of the Hyde Park Baptist Church of Chicago, spoke on "Jesus Christ, in the Orient," and lauded the work of Ghandi, the non-cooperationist leader in India, saying, "No one is more like Jesus today than Ghandi." "The two main things today that influence India's opinion of the United States are the American Race problem, as it impresses the Indian student in America after he returns home and the 'serious blow American prestige has suffered' in India because of the immigration laws."

Dec. 9.—The attempt of members of certain racial groups to identify themselves as Nordics and to prove that Nordic stock is superior to all other stocks was attacked Sunday by Dr. Nathan Emanu-El, a seminary professor at Emmanu-El. Fifth avenue and Forty-third street. "As for the Nordic doctrine," he said, "I do not believe that there has been a theological dogma in all history that has been so dangerous as it is. Looking at it from the standpoint of the Fundamentalist who believed in literal interpretations of the Bible, I have not found any place in all the Scriptures where it says that the Semitic and other races of the earth were made of common dust and Nordics were made of gold dust. "Let us study the Nordic from the standpoint of the evolutionist. I have searched the works of that man and have found that he base their faith in evolution and nowhere have I been able to find that if we descended from monkeys the Nordics could crack coconuts any better than any other race."

DAWN OF NEW DAY FOR PEASANTS IN MEXICO DAWN OF NEW DAY FOR PEASANTS IN MEXICO MEXICO CITY, Dec. 9-For 406 years the Mexican peasant has lived either in slavery or some slavery, and, though the various revolutions have proclaimed the liberation of the peasant, he is still more or less a slave to his ignorance his traditions of sorvility to his masters and his inability to think of the future or see beyond the day in which he labors. Owing to lack of experience in taking part in the movements of cleric life, into which he has, according to the Mexican constitution of 1917, been plunged, theoretically at least, the Mexican peasant has become the professional politician who has and is still using him to further his own political and private ends. The Minister of Agriculture has decided that the Mexican peasant must be divorced from politics, which means, totally separated from the professional politician, if hb is to become an active factor in the construction of the country and the upbringing of its agricultural; so he has decided that no one who mixes politics shall share in the only which the Federal Government is about to extend to the smaller farmers and planer. The Government is planning agricultural banks in most of the states of Mexico, as branches of the Government institution known as the Bank of Mexico. The particular business will be to look after the interests of the agriculturists of all kinds, but especially the small farmers and planters. As the peasants have no capital, grain for seed or implements, and consequently no financial credit, the establishment of these banks is of supreme importance in the life of the Nation. But it is also of supreme importance that the professional politician shall not be able to use the banks and the peasant farmers to further his own purposes.

IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR MERCHANT'S ADVERTISEMENT IN THE ARGUS, ASK HIM THE REASON. Current Topics By ERNEST RICE McKINNEY Preston News Service President Coulidge has been asked to make Perry Howard behave himself and attend to his duties in the Department of Justice. I don't believe that the President will interfere. Perhaps he will. I have heard a rumor that Perry went to the Pullman Company and told them that he controlled the Preston News Service and that he could set the Cameraman and the Manager of the Service their fight with the porters' projected union. Of course, there was to be a consideration for Perry from the Pullman folks. Not having any documentary evidence in the matter no one can say for, sure that this little Negro did such a thing. However, it sounds like him. A man who would do as he has done on various occasions, can be expected to do anything displeasant that comes to mind. Negroes like "Pat's Perry" have been doing things like this for years of our history, that they get their self from white people. They are continually at it, telling some white politician or corporation that they control some Negro newspaper, group or institution. Of course, they don't control any of these things but the whites don't know it. The first thing Clarence Darrow knows he will be getting a warning from the Kluxers that his time is up. He is getting too frisky in making intercession for Negroes in courts. Now he has interested himself in the case of a colored boy, in Chicago, accused of killing a white boy. Darrow was successful in having the boy sent to a home for delinquent boys. He goes there to be made in to a useful citizen instead of to the penitentiary to be made into a "Gerald Chapman. Now the Kluxers would rather that the boy go to Joliet and learn to be a first-class bad man. Then they could have a lynching and filmsy excuse to talk about Americanism and racial purity. The lone American Negro fighting with the French, in Morocco has been killed. Although I am not with the French in this African warfare, nevertheless there is something fine and heroc in his. This Negro dying in the cause of beloved France, where "Liberty," "Equality" and "Fraternity" are more than mere words, more than sounding brass. Perhaps this man Cole felt that he owed a debt to France for permitting him, for the first time, to breathe in a full breath of freedom and brotherhood. I am reminded of the time that French officer asked me why there was a Negro division in the American army. At first I did him that I did not know, and then I explained that in my country about fifty per cent of the people we uncivilized, ignorant and barbaric. About ten per cent downright savages. This officer with a show of feeling said that such a thing could never happen in France. And so while Cole's family will mourn his passing they can take solace in the fact that he has died for France. The tightheads, in England and in this country, are all "het up" over a sermon preached recently by Dean Inge of St. Paul's Cathedral. The "gloomy Dean" said that Heaven and Hell were geological expressions that can find no place in the geology of today. That is, there "ain't no such animal." There are no geographical Heaven or Hell. The die-hard brethren got hotter when the Dean questioned, in veiled language to be sure the authenticity of the miracles, the worst blow of all was the following: "It is even possible, speculate as to what the religion of Christ might not be a greater power in the world, if it's professional custodians are removed." That broke the camel's back "How come?" The cried. The Dean may not know it but he is hitting at profits as well as prophets. Many of the preachers are more interested in profits than in the prophets, their utterances to the contrary notwithstanding. but the Dean may yet lie to see the masses awaken and end this dictatorship of the preachertariat.

Which benefits confer on generous minds: Goodness prevails upon the stubborn foes. 1648 And computers more than ever Caesar died. —From Rowe's "Lady Jane Gray" Tell us, ye men, who are so jealous of right and honor, who take sudden fire at every insult and surface the alliative imagination of anyone; current, or another's usefulness, to chase from your bosom every feeling of complacency; ye men, whom every fancied affront puts into such a turbulence of emotion, and in whom every fancied encumbrant stirs up the "already hot blood" in your veins, what makes you so loath to forgive? Does not this perpetual malignity ruin you morally? Does it not make life uncomfortable? Why then should not it be your motto (as Byron wrote), "That curse shall be—forgiveness!" He who does the wrong, does it not for ostentation; neither is such committed to create foes, but generally it is done without intention. How it must grieve one to know he has made a black strenk in his fellowman's "heart of friendship" His conscience is pricked. He loves three more, and thus, beks of you forgiveness. Can he who holds malice against a fellowman deem it plausible to scimil to him to be forged?

And give me to thy arms-with dear forgiveness. Thy answer then should be "Thou art forgiven" for us Bailey has said: "They who forgive most shall be most coraley." I suppose you thought I would never write anything for the Kewpies' "sunshine" corner, but it was just my negligence of my soul duty. During Thanksgiving, spent a few pleasant moments in the nice free country, and I really enjoyed it very much. We molested down Thursday morning at 4 o'clock, and reached the little town, Jackson, Mo., at 10 a.m. This being my home town, and not visiting it before for eight years, I received a hearty welcome. I was very glad to visit the "little" school where I spent my early childhood. The scenery was beautiful. I only wished that I was an artist so I could have painted those large pine trees and those high nocky hills. Monday morning when I reached school I greeted my same old pals, and I did not know what place I liked best. I sat down to the clickety-click of my typewriter and at last mastered a lesson I thought I never would finish. Love to all the Kewpies. I want to log a 100% Kewpies. LENORA BEAL. Miss Loretta E.

OFFICER IS UNINTENDED VICTIM OF LOADED CIGAR OFFICER IS UNINTENDED VICTIM OF LOADED CIGAR NEW YORK, Dec: 9-A. Jocular tale comes from Manhattan of a "loaded" cigar trick, which instead of catching its intended victim, blew off the mustache of an austere police desk captain, and resulted in a serious matter for the investigator. The fun started when Jacob Blanford, a meat packer, gave the hogus smoke to an employ, Leroy Lewis, however, did not have much of a taste for a cigar so he presented the gift to the patrolman, Duncan, who patrols his block on 144th St. Duncan had a plentiful supply of cigars though he had not been offered sergeant Connella, among them the loaded specimen. Unfortunately Sergeant Connella ligated the charged "weed" and began puffing away leisurely. Suddenly there was an explosion. When the smoke had cleared away and Sergeant Connella had been restored to himself, a check-up of casualties showed a burr mustache, face, and two burnt uniforms. A local procedure followed. The joke was traced to Blanford.

C., Dec. 9—According to a report just made to the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, by Rev. R. B. Brinton, missionary in Sandra, Belgian Congo, the natives of the Congo who are pictured as fetish worshipers and dealers in witchcraft, contributed to the upbuild of the Christian church in their territory this year 12 cents for every dollar given for work in the Congo. In speaking of the zeal of the natives Dr. Binton said: "The Kapans a native church named Chinha reely stricts with deprosy has worked three years in translation of religious books into the native tongue. He has translated several hymns which are sung to the same music as in American churches. Some little town might get on the map by questioning the authenticity of gravity.

SOLITARY WEST LEADS IN NUMBER OF DIVORCES WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. The great west, where there are "wide open spaces," and "little gray homes," leads the country in divorces. 1 The middle west with its farm lands comes next, followed by the manufacturing sections of the auster New England, and the gothic beaches with the American homes. Census for 1924 show these facts. Marriages decreased 3.7 per cent in 1924 over 1923. Divorces increased 3.5 per cent. The 1924 figures are: Marriages 1.17S,206, divorces 179,867. New York state, which includes the biggest city in the nation, with its alleged allurements and pitfalls, had divorces at the rate of only one in every twenty three couples in the western states. Nebraska and Oregon, mainly agricultural, one out of every two or three unions went on the rocks. These, in contrast with the District of Columbia, which showed the lowest divorce rate in the country one for forty-three marriages. S.

C. Hubbard Finds That Race Is Not Lagging Behind In Educational And Industrial Life. President Young Declares State Heads Are Showing Greater Interest In The School's Development. By C. C. Hubbard Chairman, "Missouri" No. 1 Commission JEFFERSON CITY, MO.—The Negro has been an important factor in the development of a "Greater Missouri" since the early days of the State's history. In 1737, it is said that Negroes were found in Ste. Geseive County as lead miners and fur trappers. The Negro has tilled the soil, worked in factory and quarry, filled the forests, handled freight on river traffic and has made an efficient, trustworthy domestic servant. Since the large migration of Negroes beginning in 1915, the Negro has helped to make Missouri famous as a cotton state; very recently one company alone sent out a call for 5000 Negroes to help with the cotton crop Many new schools have ben established in this district for Negro children and the best available teachers, are being obtained. The move by many thousands of Negroes to this section of the State has not been such a radical change, and the tilling of cotton in the new country has been the carrying on of labor that has been the basis of lives for dwellings, schools and churches have been given to them so their lot seems to offer more encouragement, for future happiness and prosperity. New Opportunities. Open Roy B. Hinkle, state Commissioner of Labor, is putting on a special campaign for a greater use of Missouri labor and Missouri Products. The Negro of Missouri will be called upon to contribute his share in the development of the great resources of this State. Mr. Hinkle is intensely interested in the progress of Negro labor, and his office has rendered efficient service along this line. In education, Missouri is making progress in spite of some handicaps. The greatest need is to make it possible for every boy and girl in the State to attend school. Section 11145 R. S., Missouri, 1919, requires 15 colored children to be in any one district before a school may be established for them, while no such requirement is made for white children. This law should be amended. Because of this law hundreds of Negro children are without educational facilities. Yet in 10 years the illiteracy of the Negro in Missouri has decreased from 17 to approximately 9 per cent. Sixteen states have a higher percentage of illiteracy among Negroes than Missouri. Governor in Sympathy Sam A. Baker, Governor of Missouri, who was formerly state Superintendent of Public Instruction, is in sympathy with the needs of the Negro schools. In his inaugural address to the Fifty-third General Assembly, he said, in part: "I trust that you will see fit to give the colored citizens of the State an opportunity for the education of their children. The law which now provides that there must be at least 15 colored children in a district before the Board of Education is compelled to provide a school for them should be amended to provide a school for a smaller number. "There might be provision made for litterant teachers to take care of colored children in communities where the number of such children is small and widely scattered. Such provision might be patterned after the so-called 'Light-House Schools' in some of the states along the coast." The State Department of Education has rumped obtained an appropriation of $15000 for the biennium for the establishment of five Negro summer normals. These were established at New Madrid, Cape Girardeau, Springfield, Hannibal and St. Joseph, with gratifying results as to number in attendance and as to character of work done. Enrollment of 40,000 The enrollment of Negro children in Missouri Public schools in 1921 was approximately 32,000; in 1925 the estimate enrollment is 40,000. There has also been an increase in the number of students enrolled in 850 in 1921 to approximately 1460 in 1921.

It so happens, in a government like this of ours, that there comes a time when one's rights must be defended by law. This is particularly and specifically true with the Negroes of this country.

GOLDEN TEXT—I am not ashamed of the God of Christ, but I am the power of God unto salvation, to every one that believeth—Rom. 1:16. PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul the Helper. JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul in the World's Capital. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—A Prisoner Preaching. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC - The Power of the Gospel. 1. The Shipwreck on Melita (vv. 1-10). Through the storm they lost their bearings and when they were safe on land they learned that the island was called Melita. Their experiences here may be noted as follows: 1. The Hospitable Reception of the Natives (v. 2). They built a fire and made the slayed wrecked as comfortable as possible in the cold and rain. 2. Paul Gathering Sticks for a Fire (v. 3). The world's greatest preacher and missionary, yet he was not above picking up sticks for a fire. All along the journey Paul busled himself in doing all that he could to help some ones. Any service rendered in the right spirit is holy work. 3. Paul Bitten by a Venomous Serpent (v. 3). Among the sticks that Paul gathered was a seepent. Perhaps it had already coiled itself up for its winters sleep, but aroused by the warpath of the fire, it darted at Paul and fixed its fangs upon his hand. This was a serious thing. The natives expected to see him fall down dead, yet he shook it off, unharmed. At first the natives concluded, that he was an escaped murderer, and that retributive justice was being meted out to him. When they saw he was unharmed they concluded that he was a god. In the popular mind a man soon passes from a murderer to a god, or more frequently the reverse is true. 4. Paul Heals Publins' Father (vv. 7-10). These people now received some returns for their kindness. When this man of note was healed, others came and were healed also. 11. Paul's Arrival At Rome (vv. 11-10). When Paul reached Rome Christ's charge to the disciples was fulfilled. After three months's stay at Meltu Paul departed for Rome in the ship of Alexandra, whose sign was Caster and Pollux. At Synagogue they were delayed three days, perhaps for favorable winds. At Pardesii he found brethren at whose request he tarried seven days after which he again set his face towards Rome. At Appil forum and at Three Tavers brethren from Rome met him. From Pardesii the news went before of Paul's coming, and so interested were the brethren that they came for more than forty miles to meet him. This greatly encouraged him and he gave God thanks. He greatly craved the fellowship of other Christians and was much helped thereby. This was the first city in all his missionary life that thus welcomed him. It was called of the welcome that was given to the gospel by the Gentile world. He was treated with great leniency at Rome for he was allowed to hire a house and live apart, except that his guard was constantly with him. Being chained to a soldier was rather rikissome, yet it gave him a chance to preach to the soldiers, which he could not have had, in any other way. 111. Paula's Ministry In Rome (vv. 17,31) 1. His Conference With the Leading Jews (vv. 17,22) He did not as usual, wait for the Salathbay day to speak to the Jews. He allowed only one day for rest, his object being to have a fair understanding with them. When they came he endeavored to conciliate them. He told them that though he came as a prisoner, he was not a criminal. Though his own countrymen had sought his life he did not come with accusations against him. The result of this interview was that the Jews cautiously look neutral ground, but expressed a desire to hear what Paul could say in defense of a sort which was everywhere spoken against. 2. Paul Expanding the Kingdom of God and Persuading Concerning Jesus (vv. 23,31) He, pointed out a real kingdom—the Messiahic kingdom with the historic Jesus, as the king. The kingdom to Paul meant a definite reign of a definite person, not simply an improved state of society. This he showed from the Scriptures.

Dr. Watson marries her the next day only to inform her that he deserves love nor respect her but mazed her to save her parents from the degree of scandal. Deciding that she can bury the idea of living with him his wife in name only, she leaves on the night of her marriage for St. Louis.

Unserved and unpaid, the prays to God be found in her heart. Chapter VI: On the Island of death on early morning, she was sitting on a bed, her feet covered with other garments, the snow covered them. Until between the house she had was my person and the river whose cold waters had no way of divining my wretched companions. "Well, have we been there yet? Better, let's eat a bite or two." With a careless slur, I cast a gaze over my shoulder as attack Mexican flashed what I imagined to be his host smile in my direction. I raised my brows slightly and drew myself up to my full height before I spoke. "Tarden me, but if it's all the same to you I will or arsenic in my coffee today." I smiled sordidly as his face palpit before my scorching immuno. "Oh, me now you needn't try at all, of course, unappreciated. They don't go out." And what's more, I have a little more appreciation for your eyes. This time I knew again that I turned about to meet the man. He said, "Now listen to me. My soul said, 'I don't believe you have strength enough to have one than of you; blood trickling through your less half breed veins. And I don't more, I won't do one thing you. You could take me as your partner through sneaking cowardice, but you will never be able to behead me to your will.' I felt that my words had some how struck home, for he stood there staring at me like some wild boast at bay. The veins stood out like large blue vein" across his forehead. I saw his grim slouch in a deaf-like smile as he sat over to where I stood. My eyes sort of dread took possession of me as I felt his eyes pleading and beautiful harring it seemed that my very soul So you'll try to sling mud, will you? His voice reminded me of some thing I had to be read of missing reptiles who had been bitten to sink deep into their skins's flesh. Perhaps what I don't know who you like is should Watson." At the time of this the name I had vowed to share in the grave of my biggest friend and illusions I drew home to be had suddenly struck me in a slow across the face. That name and from his lips. With our shifting his gaze, he thrust his hand into his inside pocket and drew out paper. Slowly unfolding it he held it up so that the frightful beadlines glared at his arm, almost drove me mad as my eyes opened wider in frightful horror and puff-lief. It was the Olethe Clarion, a weekly paper published in my home town. "Gazing back at me was a silly picture of myself in a ridiculous pose taken from an old photograph I had let a friend make of me in a daring costume. I remember how funny it had seemed to me then. I had bought the costume to wear in an amateur theatrical in which Dad had forbidden me to take part. Now there it was all in blah and white, depronouncing me to the world as a harry breaking adventures of the worst type. In headline half hour later I read: 'Daughter: the only harry adventures; was always good to be unruly' Then in smaller type: 'Beautiful girl while young doctor married to save from scandal, prefers arms of former lover to domestic bliss' Mrs. Mazie Brooks Watson, daughter of the Reverend Stanley Brooks of Oelthe, was seen to board the midnight express with Jack 'Clifford', a former lover, etc. I could read no more, I was bysteried with grief and anger. For half an hour I raved and used suctionable terrible swear words that even Black Mexican shifted his beady eyes and stepped to one side. "That they should say that of me! Oh, it' all a mean cruel' life. Oh mother, dad." I eroded brokenly. Again the brute who posed as a man showed that he had no heart. Stepping over to my side he attempted to catch my hand. "Still trying to play the fabled lady, lady!" This is I was back out of touch with his hands. I hadn't made her first how intoxicated by reality was I knew was an unnatural grim. If they knew that thoroughly alienated me Now come out of a real world and beats and dies. As he embarked on his journey I looked away with my trust in him. He was almost returned to the window glistening I trapped him. I commanded him to walk out and would not go good. Now I could feel his tongue closing over my hands; could feel his breath hot and glistle, sweeping across my cheeks. Then the most astounding thing happened. He had his back to the door where my eyes were rivited in a gaze of wonderment. Terrifying his head for an instant to follow my gaze, he dropped my hands as though they were hot across my eyes. "Hamilton, the evil spirit, has an instant his manner changed, from one of domineering insidious to that of a jingling animal whose furtive glances sought some way of escape. I was rightfully yet strangely interested and amused at this unusual turn of events. A volle slurry and denim broke the stiffness of the air. "You beast!" You, your promised she that must insult escapade would be the last. Now I find you here with this girl. I never could trust you again—ever believe what you might say. Ten years of this has broken me; meg, meg first love and then late year. Now I know I despise even love you." Then her voice changed from a terrestrial of screaming rage to a low monotone tone of despair. "But what could I have expected? I have helped you commit crimes that sometimes even shot killed your course nature. I have discharged every fragment of decency and sold my soul to evil spirits to gratify your whims. But this is the last time you'll have the chance to make me a string of confessions when you never intend to keep." I held my breath and wondered what she meant; what such a beastful creature could find to have in a man like Black Mexican. Even in the midst of such a startling scene beauty of her face and form fastened me held me spell bound, man, faces of Spends) beauties gazing out from frames of age-old paintings all flashed before my face in a vision of jumbled loveliness. Eyes large, dark and soulful with a wistfulness that was touching; hair thick and black falling over her shoulders like a mantle. A rite of many colors was drawn about a form which might have made a master artist long to fall down and worship at her feet. But I took in all this in an instant. In a hazel sort of way I wante'd the rule of rainbow colors fall about her in silken folds as she moved majestically toward us. And as I live and breathe I declare unto you I did not dream of her intention. She stopped before the New Winging man whom In that moment when I felt all the courage and 'strength' biding slowly from my body, I saw her raise her arm as if to strike again; saw the blood covered dagger tremble in her hand—the hand which now was to me a hand of death. The glass in the window gave way as I threw my weight against it; I heard a ring of mocking laughter and felt shattered glass falling all about me as a blessed darkness blotted out the light of day. (Continued) You can surely visualize the fear wrickle fae of Mazie as this beautiful crazed Spanish woman, filled with thirst for vengeance, stood over her with a blood covered dagger raised in her hand. What happened to our pretty little heroine in this room of death and torture? More and more will you enjoy this unusual story as the coils of retribution slowly but slowly wrap this girl in their merciless tangle. CITES HOW JESUS MET WITH RACE HATREDS NEW YORK, Dec. 9—Christ's manner of dealing with race questions was discussed by the Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor, who preached Sunday at the Nazarene Congregation Church Herkimer Street and Troy Avenue, Brooklyn. "Race questions," he held, "are nothing new. They are as old as the races. Jesus faced red-hot race question. It was more bitter than the race question in America. Sandwiched between Gallilee and Judea was the little mountain country of Samaria, occupied by a mixed and half-heathen people. Jew hated Samaritan and Samaritan paid back double. It came to such a pitch that they had no dealings with each other. "Although Jesus realized all this he refused to be excited or discouraged. He knew the only remedy. He did not take sides, but held himself the friend of both. He made it a point to speak well of the Samaritans to his own For Every Member Of The Family 2600 Market St. Phone Us Your Wai Jefferson Jefferson Bomont Perfume Will You Be in line for extra money now is the time to join our be in line for extra money It is easy to start and easy to —but starting co Join our Christmas Club!

Educational Opportunities For The Negro, Broadening Throughout State Of Mo CONTINUED FROM PAGE NINE Association of Colleges, and Secondary Schools. (On the estimated Negro Population in Missouri of 220,000, about 11,000 are engaged in agricultural pursuits. About 3000 own their farms, valued at $16,000,000. The city property owned by Negroes is estimated at $125,000,000. Negro business in Missouri has greatly increased during the last decade. Thus thousands of Negro professional and business men and women are all evidences of the fact that the Negro of Missouri is playing no small part in the development of a greater commonwealth. Lincoln University By Nathan B. Young President Lincoln University and Missouri State Association of Negro Teachers. JEFFERSON CITY. Mo.—There came to my desk recently a note from W. H. Harrison, principal of Attucks School, Kansas City. Mo. also retiring president of the Missouri State Association of Negro Teachers, in which this sentence occurs referring to Negro education, in Missouri. "There seems to be a general awakening throughout the State in the bettering of education." One of the evidences of this awakening is the state-wide interest in the reorganizing program now in process in Lincoln University (formerly Lincoln Institute). Four years ago the Missouri General Assembly changed the official style and tenor of this interesting institution, and authorized the curators to make it an institution of higher learning so that the Negro youth of Missouri may have unexcelled opportunity for higher education. This legislative action became imperative in keeping with the spirit of the times, and because Missouri has a dual system of education, and consequently the state colleges and the university are closed to Negroes. Now to guarantee to the Negro under this system equal educational benefits a forward movement has been inaugurated by educational authorities. The most perplexing problem in the situation is to provide ample elementary and secondary schools for those sections where the Negro population is sparse. Plans are being worked out to meet this particular phase of the matter. M. THE GIFT SHOP INGER'S DRY GOODS STORE 200 S. EWING CORNER OF WALNUT Perfume Sets Lincoln University was founded 60 years ago as Lincoln Institute by the Sixty-Second and Sixty-Fifth United States Colored Infantry organized as the first Missouri Volunteers, who gave, officers and men, more than $6000 toward the founding of an institution in Missouri whose "fundamental idea shall be to combine study and labor so that the old habit of those who have always labored, but never studied, shall not be there by changed; and that the emancipated slaves who have neither capital to spend, nor time to lose, may obtain and education." It enjoys the unique distinction of being the only war-found school established by Negroes for Negroes. As indicated above, it is being re-organized and redirected to meet the demand of the new age, that Lincoln University may serve the future as efficiently as Lincoln Institute served the past. A further indication of an impending educational revival among Negroes is the co-operative attitude of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

"And persons whose principal job is to spend money raised by taxation might well ask, 'What could we do without the automobile?' "It is apparent that both groups would have a hard time getting along without the auto. "The tax payers would miss the auto because they would have to walk, or ride in a buggy or in a train. "The tax spenders would miss the auto even more because without it they would have much less to spend. "Do you know that the auto produces more money through taxation than do all the railroads in America? "All the steam railroads in this country last year paid $350,000,000 in taxes. All the electric railroads paid $37,000,000. The total for all railroads was $117,000,000." "The 17,500,000 autos in America last year paid $555,000,000 in taxes.
