Through the mud streets of Palestine, across the cobblestones of Europe, down the smooth avenues of America, and through the crooked by-ways of Asia the Christ child wanders again in spirit. In Palestine there is strife. European greed grapples with the young, fiery spirit of nationalism. The fires of different religions burn deep and flare high. In Europe there is turmoil, intolerance and suspicion. In America, materialism sits on high, reigning with pagan pomp. Asia's dumbness is being broken by faint mutterings for liberty and love and life. All mankind is restless. This Christmas the hearts of millions of strife-weary peoples hunger for peace and a chance to live. In this, the spiritual re-birth of the Prince of Love, they see the way to the things that armies and conferences and treaties have not yet achieved. For the contentment of us all, may the spirit of this birthday of the Christ live in the hearts and acts of men throughout the year, and the years to come. JOKING WITH FACTS We never did like to hear undue levity emanate from a judge or from a preacher. Their positions always have been regarded by us as being specially selected; somehow, we have a generous respect for such who occupy them. A joking judge and a joking preacher are dangerous characters who invite contempt for the positions they occupy, and their attitude is harmful to the community. Two colored men were tried before Judge Ekwall for using opium and arrested with them was a white woman of 22 years. The culprits asked the judge to suspend their sentences, to which he replied: "If this thing had happened in the South, you would have been suspended all right—to a tree." No doubt of it. But we condemn the judge for associating Oregon with a part of the country where law, order and respect for life are crude ideas. Since the strangulation of the Dyer bill, two games of lynching have already been played down South, in each the race lost, as the odds were a thousand to one. In Texas, the suspected victim was kindly shot to death; while in Florida he was singed, browned and by neglect on the part of those who were roasting the barbecue, the meat was allowed to burn. In each case the victims were doubted as being the guilty party. Lynching is too serious a matter for jest by a judge. Suppose some Southern morons had been in the court sufficient in number to have been inspired to carry out the suggestion coming from Judge Ekwall's mouth. Oregon would have played the national game with Portland as the center of attraction. Mr. Harding told us that a crisis has come in the life of this nation and whereas, he omitted lynching as one of the leaks in the hull of the Ship of State, we are prophesying that the old vessel is certainly going to sink unless some good calkers stop the seam through which the slimy ooze of dissension, murder and disregard for law and order are seeping. Makeshift legislation will not offset the calamity. We must face the conditions squarely and the time are too serious for anyone in authority to joke with facts—Portland Times. BE COLOR BLIND One thing our young must get out of their heads, is this, that color makes a man. The white race "is brilliant" not because it is white but because it has developed the brain and body. It is brain that makes A Christmas A them great, not color, Put the white mentality under the blackest skin and eventually the ruling class would become dark. Having developed brain to a greater extent than the darker races has enabled the white race to take advantage of ignorance. There is a difference between absorbing another man's thought and creating the thought yourself. The difference between a man and a monkey is this: the man is able to create through exercise of his brain cells whereas the monkey can but imitate, if he could originate monkey and man would be on par. The darker races imitate too much for this reason they get a strong focus, not delving in the art of creation they judge by surface, hence, the prevailing thought among colored people that the man's skin makes his greatness. Darkening the skin of the white race would not dull their brain power. We have another fault. It is this: we are too easily satisfied. We have not developed that unsatisfied ambition that ancient Ethiopia possessed, our heads are too often in the clouds. We talk too much about where "we are going" and not enough of things as they are. We forget that God made both heaven and earth. There is just as much God in a clod of earth as there is in a section of the skies. We are of the idea that clothes make a man. We think the guilt frame is the picture because it looks like gold. Yet the real gold is the virtuous woman or the many man. As a class of people we must begin to think. Don't forget that it takes a general to win a battle; it takes a thinking class of people to win a place in this world that we live in. Make something, do some- believe in Santa Claus. I believe no hair is snowier, no cheeks redder, no smile merrier and no eyes more twinkling than his. I believe the heart of him is big enough to encompass the world—if people would let it! I believe in the jingle of his sleigh bells, the swiftness of his reindeer, the sound of their tapping feet on the roof. I believe in chimneys, big, broad, deep-throated chimneys that will not cramp the Merry Gentleman with his bulging pack. I believe in solemn rows of stockings hanging by the fire—father's short one, mother's long one and the dangling ones of the children, all waiting and expectant. I believe in the invisible blossom of happiness that Santa Claus leaves at every house, and I believe that it will grow through all the year if people try to keep the spirit of Christmas every day! thing, be somebody, stop being just a colored man. Stand on your feet, stop this inevitable babble about you've got no chance because you are colored. You have a thousand chances where Frederick Douglass had one, but he was a man! What are you? —Boston Guardian. U.S. Quizzes Black Star Line Heads New York, Dec. 21 (Crusader Service). Quietly and without bluster the United States Department of Justice and the Post Office Department are weaving the net in which they hope to enmesh the responsible officers of the defunct Black Star Line for their alleged criminal mismanagement of the corporation. Last week several ex-officiers of the U. N. I. A. and former, as well as some present, boosters of the incomparable genius of the great advertiser and black Barnum, Marcus Garvey, were summoned before Assistant Federal District Attorney Mattuck, for the purpose of getting information regarding certain phases of the activities of the steamship company. Many of the summons were told to hold themselves in readiness for appearance in when the case comes to trial. It is indicated that the government is not deceived by the antics of certain colored politicians who are alleged to be seeking to subvert the cause of justice. Fully one hundred witnesses are expected to testify and the case, which will be called shortly, is expected to be a "cause celebre." By MARTHA B. THOMAS © 1922, WESTERN NEWSPAPER UNION ice)—Using the remainder of the large sum of money collected from colored people of the world, the "Negro" Factories Corporation, organized by Marcus Garvey, under whose management the Black Star Line transferred $1,000,000 from the control of the race into the coffers of ship brokers and other members of the white race; has opened a small tailor shop at 2305 Seventh avenue. The size and equipment of the "factory" which is dedicated to cleaning, dyeing and repairing clothes and pressing men's suits at 35 cents each seems to be a modern illustration of the old fable that "the mountain did 'abor' and it brought forth a mouse." COURT UPHOLDS JIM CROW LAWS COURT UPHOLDS JIM CROW LAWS Supreme Tribunal Upholds Award of Mississippi Court to White Complaintans Washington, Dec. 21 (Crusader Service)—Jim trow laws passed by Southern states were not abrogated by government control of the railroads during the war and the United States Railroad Administration was responsible for their enforcement, according to a decision by the supreme court today. The Mississippi courts were upheld in awarding damages against the railroad administration in favor of A. E. Stephens F. G. Gaddy and M. Swinney, three Mississippi whites who charge that they were "compelled" to ride with "Negroes" despite their protest. The plaintiffs contended that the conductor refused to eject colored passengers from a section marked for "whites only" and that as a result they suffered "mortification and embarrassment." there can be no doubt in the minds of intelligent people that the discussion of the supreme court goes far toward upholding those laws. Weeks Promises 24th Infantry Protection in Ga. War Secretary Says Charges of N. A. A. C. P. Will Be Investigated and Justice Done John W. Weeks, United States Secretary of War, has replied to a letter sent him by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, promising investigation of the chieftain colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry were mistreated and discriminated against, and saying that conditions complained of will be corrected. The letter of Secretary of War Weeks is as follows: War Department, Washington. December 13, 1922. Mary White Ovington, Chairman Board of Directors National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, New York City. My Dear Madam: Acknowledging receipt of your letter of December 8, 1922, supplementing your recent communication on the subject of the treatment of the 24th Infantry now stationed at Fort Benning Ga., I am pleased to inform you that your letter has been forwarded to the commanding officer, Fort Benning, Ga., for investigation and necessary action. I can assure you that the proper disciplinary measures will be taken to correct any irregularity that may be discovered in the treatment of the members of the 24th Infantry. The personnel of this organization will receive the same consideration as the members of any other unit stationed at that post. Sincerely yours. (Signed) JOHN W. WEEKS, Secretary of War. SOUTH IS CALLED TO ANTI-LYNCHING WAR SOUTH IS CALLED TO ANTI-LYNCHING WAR Women of Methodist Church, South Demand That Mob Violence Be Blotted Out Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 7 (Special)—A movement to enlist the 250,000 organized women of the Southern Methodist Church in a determined and systematic campaign for the suppression of lynching was launched here this week. A large group of representative women from thirteen states all of them officials of the Woman's Missionary Council or Conference Social Service superintendents, met at the call of the Race Relations Commission of the Council, spent three days in conference, and at the conference a vigorous address to the public on the lynching evil, calling upon the authorities of the several states and counties for the complete suppression and upon the citizens, the pulpit and the press for their united support to this end. The defeat of the Dyer anti-lynching bill was used to give point to their utterance. They further pledged themselves, individually and in an official capacity as representing the social service leadership of the organizedchodist women, to a persistent campaign to enforce these laws and for law enforcement, details of the plan are already worked out. The statement follows, together with the names of the women signers: "Whereas, the defeat of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, which provided for the federal control of lynching, has thrown the whole responsibility back upon each state for removing this hideous crime; therefore, "Be it resolved, that we, the Commission on Race Relations of the Woman's Missionary Council, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the conference social service superintend- ROUT KLAN OR FACE CIVIL WAR OLCOTT WARNS "Judiciary Influenced, Law Is Under mined," Oregon Executive Tells Conference KLAN CAPITALIST PLOT Marks Interests' Grab at Political Power, Declares Mayor Hylan White Sulphur Springs, Dec. 20 (Crusader Service).-Gov. Ben W. Olcott of Oregon, addressing the conference of governors here, warned that the Ku Klux Klan is gaining an amazing grip in his state and other关键 and increased the conviction that unless steps are immediately taken to check the Klan its activities would inevitably lead to a state of civil war in this country. Thinking Oregonians are at last awake to what has happened in that state, and like himself are genuinely alarmed by the spread of what they first failed to regard as a dangerous manifestation, he pointed out, not, however, explaining that the tolerance with which the Klan was at first regarded was due to the belief that it was merely anti-Negro and not anti-anybody else. Today the subject overshadows all other issues in Oregon, he said, and the consequence of the secret organization's work there should be brought to national attention. Whole Communities Torn That whole communities in Oregon are now torn by such religious dissension, if not avowed hatred, that neighbors formerly the best of friends are virtual feudists, families are disrupted, the spirit of religious intolerance is seizing upon the churches and spreading into all branches of business as a controlling factor. The same sort of outrages—committed by night riders, masked in winters and cowlts—that have swept the nation and repeatedly occurred in Oregon, so that order is as much usurped by the American fascist as in Louisiana, where Gov. Parker feared for the sovereignty of the state. Judiciary Influenced That the judiciary, school system, politics and even certain public channels of expression have become so influenced, and in some instances controlled by the Klan that all former normal relationships and processes of law and order are completely undermined. That Portland has became a hotbed of the Klan propaganda, which has been spread with characteristic secrecy and in the guise of a patriotic and violent movement, and the Klan leaders extending their field into the state of Washington, predicting openly that the will soon have lain up that and soon northwestern states including Idaho and the territory of Alaska. Protestant vs. Catholic Protestant vs. Catholic "We have no accurate way of knowing how large numerically the Klan has become in Oregon," said Gov. Olcott, "but its manifestations are significant of its extent and its power. We have few colored people and few Jews in the state, comparatively speaking, so that the issue comes down to one between Protestantism and Catholicism. To be sure, one colored man who was freed from jail after serving his term for chicken stealing was victimized—taken out at night by masked riders and hanged, though cut down before he was dead." Capitalist Plot, Says Hylan That the Klan is nothing but a process of hoodwinking the public so that "the puppets of privilege may be enabled to slip into any public office" is the opinion expressed by Mayor Hylan of New York on the Ku Klux Klan. The mayor's statement was provoked by reporters asking him what he had to say regarding the appearance of a Klausman on Sunday night in the Washington Avenue Baptist Church, Brooklyn. His Honor declaration that "day by day disclosures are rapidly proving that the Ku Klux Klan is nothing but an attempt to create a political machine" and that the "provocative interests that are trying to control this government" would undoubtedly be a found financing the Klan. Seeming to bear out Mayor Hylan's views are the fact that the Klan has acted to drive Negroes out of the oil fields in several Southern and Southwestern states and the recent revelation of a banker backer in New York city. "The object of fomenting racial and religious disturbances and the widening of breaches between groups and classes is apparent," the mayor continued. "If the people are divided into opposing camps on racial and religious lines, less thought will be given to vital public questions. Through this process of hoodwinking the public, the puppets of privilege may be enabled to slip into public office." ents and other officers in conference in Atlanta, Ga., December 4-6, 1922, do now demand of the authorities of the several states that they make their claim proving their competency to abolish mob violence and lynching. "That we assume our responsibility as citizens for the protection of human life and hereby call upon all the people of all the states, the pulpit and upon the press to join in an insistent and persistent agitation against this barbarous practice. "That we formulate plans for an organized movement in behalf of adequate state laws and law enforcement." PRISONER DISCHARGED WITNESSES ALL COLORED Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 21—The white man recently charged with raping a young colored girl in the skirts of Jacksonville, against whom the victim and several other witnesses swore directly (witnesses all colored), was discharged by the judge on his own testimony. The judge announced that a "white man could not be convicted in his court on the mere evidence of "niggers?" The matter of guilt was apparently clear.

Azalia Hackley, the greatest producer of pageants "anc recognized as the race's leading teacher of vocalism, died af the home of her sister in Detroit, Mich, or Wednesday. night, December 13, after an illness which extended over a_pe- riod of six years. Madame Hackley was one of” the most _ remarkable women in the public life of our peo- ple. For many years her time was devoted to. uplift work, her efforts being specially centered in concerts ‘and pageants for the financial bene- fit of schools, churches _ and ‘other classes of institutions vital to the welfare of the race, and there are many thriving enterprises which can trace their present success to her aid. Highly Educated Madame Hackley was born in Mur- freesboro, ‘Tenn. and was 64 years of age at the time of her death. She was readed and educated in Detroit, taught in the public schools of that city for.a number of” years and took ‘a very prominent place in social and musical circles. Her maiden name was Smith. She married Edward Hackley in Denver, Colo, and later went to Europe, where she completed her musical education. For several years she made her home in-Phila- delphia, Pa., and later she moved to Chicago, where she established. 2 studio on Calumet avenue. In her line as a producer she had no equal. It was conttion for her to enter a community, assemble 500 or 600 “green” Voices, train them in folk songs and choruses in an unbeliev- ably short time and present them in pageant along with soloists, duos and larger groups, all selected from among them, | Her power over these groups was almost uncanny, al e members of, her “classes” often ranged in age from 3 to 70 years. Her activities covered the entire United States and her name and fame has been a household word all over this country for years. ‘An Author Madame Hackley was the author of several volumes touching on social and musical matters. Most promi- nent among her books was “The Col- ored Girl Beautiful,” which had a large sale, and her “Book on Pag- eants,” containing a complete de- scription of her methods. She was 4 beautiful woman, physically and morally, and was one of the few tal- ented individuals in public life who scorned the press agent method of gaining publicity. For years Madame Hackley taught modesty in dressing. Despite the fact that she was abun- dantly able to patronize the best modistes she was always plainly though neatly clad, and was often referred to as “The Lady in Gray” on account of her predilection for that color in both her private and profes- sional. costumes, A Composer Madame Hackley was one of the most accomplished pianists of her time, and her compositions were nu- merous and cf a sort which demon- strated to a great extent her sympa- thetic tempérament. She was a mem- her of the Detroit Musicial Society and of other organizations and was a graduate of the Denver (Colo.) In- stitute of Music. Aside from other relatives she is survived by her sis- ‘ter. Mrs. Marietta E. Johnson. 2128 Clinton avenue.

Veteran Triples Pre War Wage : Before the war, Enosh E. Olein was a farmhand, earning the usual low wages paid for that work. His army life as corporal, Co. A, 158th Infantry, left him with hernia and pyorthea. It was evident - that he could not_go back to the heavy. work of farming.

Employment Service Successful ‘The United States Veterans’ ~“Bu- reau has completed a survey of the <mployment situation among _reha- bilitated ‘vocational students of the bureau. s The: employment situation among our rehabilitated vocational trainees is very, satisfactory,” Colgnel. Charles R, Forbes, Direstor of the Bureat stated today. “The establishment of the Employment Service of the Vet- erans’ Bureau is justified by the re- sults obtained to date. When it is taken into consideration that approx- ‘mately 20,980 men have been, reha- bilitated, it is surprising to note: that only a negligible number of graduate vocational students are unemployed.” ‘The employers. in: business and in- dustry have evinced the fine spirit of helpfulness and have shown a practical appreciation of these vet- erans’ war time service by giving preference to. these — vocationally rained men, ‘These, employers are being rewarded by faithful and loyal service on the part of the rehabilitat- ed trainees and that their services are satisfactory is shown by the fact that only a very small percentage has failed to meet the reuirements of the position. Many of the veterans who have Ween_placed in employment by the Veterans’ Bureau have obtained po- sitions which from the very. begin- ning salaries above the average. For instance, in one disttict, four of the men who: were placed in’ employ- ment during the months” of August and September received salaries of $200 per month. ‘Two other men are receiving $250 pér month and ten men are receiving $150 per month. There are: now approximately 96,800 men in vocational training and as: these men complete their training from month to month the Employ- ment Service will obtain positions for them. These men,-on the average, are receiving more than $400,000 a vear above their pre-war wages. They have been trained to overcome their. vocational handicaps imposed on them by theif disabilities. The train- ing- which. they: receive is an assur- ance to the employers that they will he able to carry on. successfully, in the trade or vocation for which they have been trained. wert NEW YEAR O- A K GOPHERS A R K. - UNION HALL JANUARY 1, 1923 Matinee 2 p.m; to 6:30.p. m.
