WORLD'S BEST NEWS:—The angel said unto them, Fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord—Luke 2: 10, 11 HONOR GIVEN WHEN DUE It is with very much satisfaction that we learn, Rene Maran, a young colored author, born on the Island of Martinique, French West Indies, has won the annual prize of the Goncourt academy for the best French novel of 1921. The novel, entitled "Batouala," deals with colored life in Central Africa, the race question and problems and aspirations of the colored people. France has a very pleasing way of giving honor wherever due and talent is duly and fully recognized even when found under a colored skin. Vive la France. THIRTY-EIGHT LYNCHED WHILE CONGRESS DEBATES ANTI- LYNCH BILL. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Ave., New York, has made public a statement to the effect that since the introduction of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in Congress on April 11, 1921, there had been 38 persons murdered by mobs in the United States, of whom two were burned, four bodies being publicly burned after lynching. One of those lynched was a colored woman. Three were white men. Since the Dyer bill was favorably reported by the Committee on the Judiciary, on October 31, 1921, there have been seven lynchings, one body being publicly burned, in Helena, Ark. Among the causes assigned for these lynchings are the following: 1. A colored man called to inquire of a white girl why she had not replied to a note he had written her. He was lynched for this offense. 2. An old man was accused of assisting a man to escape. 3. Two colored men were lynched for aiding a third to escape. 4. One colored woman was thrown from a bridge and drowned for assisting a colored man to escape. Georgia leads in the list of lynchings since the Dyer bill was introduced, having had 10. Mississippi is second with 7. South Carolina third, with 5. Louisiana fourth, with 4. and Arkansas and Texas each have 8. From the above everyone may readily see the urgent necessity of writing to the state Representatives in Congress urging their support for the early passage of the bill. JIM CROW LEADERS. We present in this issue a symposium of views of colored editors in various parts of the country on the speeches of President Harding in Birmingham, Ala., and Atlanta, Ga. One of the strongest of these is an editorial from the Richmond (Va.) Planet, by that fearless journalist, John Mitchell, Jr. Referring to the desire of President Harding to have more "negro" leaders developed, The Plaret says: THE SOUTH IS FULL OF THIS KIND OF LEADERS. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DID HIS PART IN DEVELOPING THIS KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN LATER YEARS HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE PRINCIPLES OF MANHOOD, WITHOUT WHICH NO RACE CAN RISE TO THE FULL HEIGHT OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. This is a strong statement yet it is absolutely true. No single thing in the history of the colored people in the United States has done so much to prevent the full attainment of citizenship as that speech of Booker Washington delivered in Atlanta, Ga., in 1895. Since then the descent to hell has been swift and sure and the depths were sounded when the other day, Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, stood by the side of the Grady monument in Atlanta, pronounced a eulogy on Henry W. Grady, the most bitter, dangerous and insidious enemy of the colored people that the country has produced, declared that the race question must be settled by the segregation of American citizens. Lured on by the enthusiastic reception by the South of the B. Washington speech and the white man's "good negro" pat on the shoulder, the jimcrow leaders' tribe has increased so enormously that it is now a menace to be reckoned with in every community in which there are a hundred colored men. Before he died Booker Washington repented in bitterness what he had done and longed for life to wash out his unwise course but it was too late. Although it may be news to many, it is a fact that after his death an article, written by him, was printed in a leading magazine, in which he repudiated segregation which he had so long championed. No greater calamity could befall the colored people than the harvesting of a new crop of "jimcrow negro leaders." DEATH OF ABDUL BAHA. A cable from Haifa Syria, announced the death in that city of Abdul Baha Abbas, one of the greatest men of the day and the leader of the Bahaist movement. Abdul Baha, "servant of God," traveled through the United States in 1912 and visited St. Paul among other places. He was the guest of the large congregation of Bahaists in Chicago the latter part of April and early in May in 1912 and on May 1, he dedicated the site at the Sheridan road bridge in Wilmette, a suburb of Chicago, where the Bahaists are now building a temple costing several millions of dollars, to be the world center of Bahaism. Abul Baha was born in Teheran, Persia. He was the successor of the Bab, "gateway of knowledge," who began about 1844 proclaiming throughout Islam the coming of a messenger of God and made much headway until executed at the age of 31. The noble father of Abdul Baha was Mirza Hossein Ali of Nour, a disciple of the Bab. Father and son were banished in 1868 to Akka, a prison city in Syria. Forty years later the Young Turks overthrew the despotic regime in Constantinople, and Abdul Baha was freed. The death of Abdul Baha will be mourned by millions of his co-religionists all over the world and it is now claimed that there is at least 50,000,000 of them, who practice as well as preach that "of one blood God made all nations." There are many thousands of colored people in the United States who have left orthodox Christianity and have become Bahaists because of hypocrisy of the so-called Christians on the color question. NOT A MAGNA CARTA We are sorry to notice that some colored man has written an article in which he says that President Harding's Birmingham speech is "a Magna Charta of Negro rights." Evidently the gentleman, like President Harding has not thought the question through. Instead of being a great charter of liberties, it is really a curse hurled at the colored people from which it will take a thousand years to recover. We have gathered together and reprint in this issue many columns of comment on the President's Southern speeches and we recommend that the people who have been disposed to swallow the discourses in toto, should read the articles carefully and learn of the dangers which lurk in the President's utterances. WERE THE CARDS STACKED? Twenty-three years ago the United States occupied the Philippine Islands. Why You Should Vote for the New Charter Under the present charter expenses have increased from $4,454,251.63 (tax levy in 1915) to $8,553,182.15 (tax levy in 1920). This is an increase in expenses in five years of $4,098,930.52 or 92 per cent. During the same period the population of the city increased only five per cent. Who Pays? YOU Do! If you own your home you pay in increased taxes. If you pay rent you pay in increased rents because the landlords always pass the tax increases on to their tenants. You know your taxes are higher than they have ever been. You know that rents are higher than they have ever been—and your intelligence tells you that this will continue as long as we have a charter framed to help the tax eaters rather than the tax payers. People of Saint Paul, you rebuked the present system at the amendment election May 21st. You voted down proposed amendments to the charter which (if carried) would have resulted in the expenditure of $1,175,000 more of your money. Those who wanted to put over this grab of an extra $1,175,000 of your money are the same individuals who are fighting the new charter. You served notice on these tax eaters then that you didn't want any more of their game; complete the job by voting in the new charter December 29. The proposed charter is the best charter that Saint Paul has ever had. Don't be deluded or misled by such foolish statements as that it will do away with the city bank; that it will do away with teachers' pensions, that it will cut down the amount of money available for schools. CITIZENS OF SAINT PAUL, interested in your city's welfare, you are earnestly invited to come to the offices of the New Charter Club, S. W. corner 4th and Robert streets, and ask questions about any of the things you don't understand about this new instrument, the adoption of which will mean so much to our city.

Watch this paper next week for facts and figures concerning the cost of city government under the present charter. promising independence for the Filiipinos in about twenty years or as soon as the natives were "qualified for freedom." Shortly after coming into power the present Republican administration sent a mission consisting of Gen. Leonard Wood and W. Cameron Forbes to investigate present conditions and the report, which has just been made public, recommends that the United States must keep the islands. Months ago, long before the investigation had been completed, Gen. Wood was nominated for governor and is now in office. Did Uncle Sam stack the cards on the liberty-loving Filiipinos? TRUE TO FORM. At the Detroit Methodist conference Emmett J. Scott declared "The Negro does not ask social equality and never has asked it. All he asks is social justice." But, pray how can the colored man get "social justice unless he has every kind of equality before the law and in public opinion?" Dominant people do not give exact justice to people they consider their inferiores. Scott was private secretary to Booker Washington for nearly twenty years and was well trained to reiterate that the colored man does not want that and other things which would please the South. Now that he is away from Tuskegee he ought to learn a new tune. BUNK! Under the heading "Gamaliel Emulates Gililean," the Republican Publicity Association is sending out to Republican newspapers a lot of dope comparing President Harding to Jesus Christ, but the resemblances are not many. Christ did not teach that there were "fundamental, eternal and unescapable differences" between human beings. Rich and poor, bond and free, black and white all looked alike to the Galilean. The U. S. Senate has refused to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson as recorder of deeds, even after he had declared for the President's segregation program. The fight against him was led by Senator Watson of Georgia. Four coal black Africans are members of the French Chamber of Deputies. France is the only great nation which has admitted the principle of direct representation of colonials in the national parliament. Porto Ricans are demanding the recall of E. Mont Reilly who was recently appointed governor. He is charged with deep-seated prejudice against the natives. VOTE "YES" For a New Charter Dec.29th You know your taxes are higher than they have ever been. It will give us better officials, district representation, a square deal for all sections of the city, a system founded on the plan of the National government It will give us men of judgment and experience on the boards which will administer the various activities of the city—we will have a better city.

VALDO TURNER Has a Surprise Birthday Party Tendered by His Wife and Friends. Birthday anniversaries come as regularly as the years roll 'round. Everybody has them and Dr. Valdo Turner is no exception to the rule and he had which one, deponent saith not on last Saturday. Whether the doctor remembered the fact or not his better half did; and she planned to spring a surprise on her leige lord. So she invigiled him into taking her to the early show at one of the movie houses. She had beforehand invited a number of friends to come to her house and spend the evening, putting them wise to her plans. When the doctor and his wife returned to their home they found house in utter darkness and he thought the other members of the family had retired; but upon entering the house the lights were switched on and he was completely surprised to find it filled with his friends who had come this holiday to celebrate his anniversary. Of course he at once entered into the spirit of the occasion and all proceeded to enjoy it until noon-at-night when Mrs. Turner proceeded to serve a delicious lunch.
