The Appeal

ERADICATE MOB RULE SAYS BUTLER Sell Your Goods by telling the buying public all about them in the most popular column in the paper—the classified ad section In The Appeal VOL. 39 NO. 36 ERAD SEVERE MILITARY RULE GRIPS TULSA TO RESTORE ORDER Numerous Floggings in County Bring Drastic Action from Executive HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENDED Governor Walton Says Mobs Will Be Driven Out, If It Takes Every Guardsman Oklahoma City, Aug. 31.—Absolute martial law in the whole of Tulsa county was proclaimed tonight by Governor J. C. Walton, to take effect tomorrow at noon. The executive proclamation suspends the right to the writ of habeas corpus in the county and declares that no civil agencies, including the courts, shall function without the consent of the commanding officer of the military forces. All arms, and ammunition in the county shall be turned over forthwith to the military authorities, the proclamation provides. Only persons granted permits by the military will be allowed to keep arms in their possession. Scores Have Been Whipped The military investigation instituted August 14 into mob activities in Tulsa county, the proclamation said, has disclosed that a general state of lawlessness has existed for a period of more than a year prior to this time, and that scores of people, including women, have been whipped, assaulted and beaten. Civil authorities of Tulsa county have been in "secret sympathy" with those responsible for mob floggings, the governor charged in the proclamation. The situation had become such, he declared, that lawless elements have usurped civil powers, including the judiciary. Additional troops will be sent to Tulsa from various points in the state to carry out the new martial law regulations, it was announced. Plays His Second Card "The governor has played his second card," Aldrich Blake, executive counselor, said in giving out the proclamation, "He still has two aces, and they will be played in turn, if necessary. Governor Walton is determined that the 'story of Tulsa' shall be told. "Conditions in Tulsa have been scandalous," Blake said. "Persons have attended whipping parties by invitation, much as they would attend a ball game. As many as 150 persons have been present at some of the outrages we have investigated, according to testimony taken. The state will be surprised when the story is told," he concluded. FRENCH DEPEND UPON COLORED COLONIALS Blacks Means of France's Preservation Declares General Mangin Paris. Aug. 30.—The development and utilization of the 60 million Negroes in the colonies is France's logical means of self-preservation, according to General Mangin, in a recent speech at Strasbourg, following a review of Negro troops in Alsace. "France is not a nation of 39 million," said General Mangin, "she is a power of 100 million. It is unfortunate that the Senegalese are no longer on the Rhine, and it is probable that the violent campaign in German press and the insidious campaign in the press of certain other countries is guided by the fear of seeing our colonial empire becoming a part of the homeland, thus augmenting the power and expansion of France in the world. Could Have Won War Sooner Could Have Won War Sooner "If, before the war, my viewpoint had been accepted, France would have had 1 million instead of 180,000 Negroes fighting on the western front, and the war would have been won more quickly and under other circumstances." The French government's recent series of articles championing its negro citizens by warning foreigners not to attempt to resent the presence of Negroes in restaurants and dance halls, in withdrawing the license of a Monmartre establishment for ejecting Negroes and prohibiting the film, "The Birth of a Nation," because it was offensive to the Negroes, apparently indicates that the Poincaré government has espoused General Mangin's ideas for strengthening France through the absorption and employment of natives from the colonies.

GENERAL GOURAND SAILS FOR HOME Garvey Envoy to League of Nations Sails on the Same Ocean Liner NEW YORK, August 30.—(K.N.F. Service)—General Henri Joseph Gouround, the "Lion of the Argonne, under whom the famous Fifteenth New York regiment fought in France, sailed for home on the liner France, Thursday. Tears rolled down his bronzed cheeks as the vessel carrying him back to France moved out of the harbor, while the police band played the Marseillaise, and several thousand persons, white and colored, waved goodbye. Gen. Gouraud said his visit to the United States gratified his life's ambition. "I have waited more than fifty years for this" he said. "I am sorry to leave America, but the sadness is relieved of the knowledge I have gained to the kind feeling of America for France." "I go back to France convinced that America sympathizes with her, and that means much to the French people." On the same vessel was Jean Joseph Adams, so-called ambassador of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Adams sailed to attend a meeting of the League of Nations to urge that body to hand over captured and surrendered German-African colonies to the Africans. He was escorted to the pier by members of Marcus Garvey's military organization. David I. Martin, Music Instructor Dies In New York David I.

Service).—Several white and colored newspapers here made the charge last week that Governor Al Smith, democrat, had banned the Wills-Dempsey match so as to curry favor with the Southern delegates to the Democratic National convention, in the hope that he would be nominated for president. The governor denied the charge, but the fans are still indignant and wagt the bout to take place. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1923 Huddled Together, Hooded Cowards_Quake in Terror as Stones Break Windows of Lodge Room. Perth Amboy, N. J., Aug. 31.—One hundred and fifty members of the Ku Klux Klan were besieged in Odd Fellows hall early this morning, surrounded by a crowd of more than 8,000 persons who last night broke up a feeting of 500 klansmen despite a desperate resistance by seventy-five patrolmen, 150 firemen and a large force of state troopers. Although shots were fired by both sides, no one was reported killed. Two men, however, were believed to have been injured severely. One Beaten Unconscious Both were klansmen. One was beaten unconscious when he attempted to leave the hall early today. His attackers were about to throw him in a sewer manhole when a patrolman pleaded with the mob and persuaded them to stop. The other klansman was beaten badly when a mob overturned an automobile in which he was trying to escape. The full extent of their injuries was not known and it was said many others may have been badly hurt. Number of Attackers Grows Thousands of automobiles chocked the roads leading into Perth Amboy, Citizens from all parts of the state were arriving and police feared another outbreak as a result of a klan threat that they would "return 10,-000 strong." At 2 o'clock this morning the mob about the hall was larger than when the battle started last night. A constant bable of voices was heard in the streets and this occasionally burst into a roar when a klansman's head apeared at a door or window. The mob continued to throw sticks and stones. Martial Law Becomes Stern Reality Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 1—Martial law in Tulsa county became a stern and uncompromising reality at noon today, the hour when Gov. J. C. Walton's new proclamation governing military rule took effect. At one minute past noon, khaki-clad soldiers were in charge of the police department and the sheriff's office. With the coming of night the already drab situation took on a fore stern aspect. Darkness barely had fallen when army trucks sped over the city to drop small detachments of armed guardsmen at stragetic points. Guards were posted at all gateways to the city and began stopping all traffic. Only those able to explain their errands were allowed to pass. A score of military cars loaded with soldiers set out at nightfall on a patrol of both business and residential sections. All persons on the streets after 11:30 o'clock tonight were stopped but those whose work required passage on the street were permitted to go about their business. Klan Forces Are Routed Wilmington, Del., Aug. 31.—Five men were shot and rioting continued for several hours following an initiation of 250 candidates by the Ku Klux Klan on a farm near Newcastle tonight. The rioting started at the close of the ceremony, when a cross was lighted. Disorders began with a volley of shots from a crowd of about five hundred boys in an adjoining field. Klansmen pursued them, but were met by nearly one thousand men, who rushed the klansmen off the field and destroyed the cross. The klansmen rallied and there was a general fight. Policemen and firemen were called out, but were unable to quell the disorders. The klansmen were routed finally and fled the scene in motor cars. As the sped through a suburb, they were pelted with stones hurled by a gang of laborers. Ask Citizens Not To Stage Klan Riot Jefferson City, Aug. 31.—Mayor C. W. Thomas tonight called on citizens to stage no demonstration in this city. The statement was printed in local newspapers and followed reports that the Ku Klux Klan would stage a demonstration in Klan would stage a demonstration in Joseph Burns, chief of police, tonight deputized a number of men to prevent possible disorder. Ku Klux Konstable Jailed For Flogging (Crusader Service) Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 1.—Arthur Finley, constable at Broken Arrow, was sentenced to two years in the State Penitentiary here today following his plea of guilty to a charge of riot. Finley is the fourth mansentenced state prison that has been established in Tulsa County. Like other three, he admitted membership in the Klu Klu Klan. DYER BILL TO BE REINTRODUCED IN NEXT CONGRESS First Day of New Congress Session Is Scheduled for Reintroduction of Bill SAYS 'STATES RIGHTS' SILLY Lynching Figures for First Half of 1923 Show Absence of "Usual Crime" Kansas City, Kan.—Speaking before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, now holding a race relations conference here, Representative Cornelis C. Dyer of the 10th Missouri District, said he would reintroduce his federal anti-lynching bill on the first day of the new session of Congress. The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill was passed by a vote of 230 to 119 in the last House of Representatives but was held up in the Senate by a filibuster conducted by Southern Democrats, Mr. Dyer praised the work of the Advance ment Association in creating a sentiment against mob violence in this country, and then said: "Without relaxation and with confidence we will continue the fight for legislation in the 68th congress that will make lynchings a national crime in the United States. It is now a national disgrace. We are in a better position now for cooperation and assistance by all law-abiding people to accomplish our purpose than we have been before. This is due to the knowledge gained by the people generally with respect to this crime, its causes, and the fact that it is purely, with little exception simply a matter of race prosecution and mistreatment. Lynchings Result of Certain Crimes "Those who have in the past countered this crime of lynching have made, as an excuse, that lynchings were the results of certain crimes committed by colored people. We have been able, very generally, to show that this is not a fact. The lynchings that have occurred in the United States during the first six months of this year compare favorably, as to the causes, with lynchings that have occurred during the past thirty-five years. "The only thing that will put a stop to lynchings is the enactment into law of legislation that will punish members of mobs, county and state officials, and communities that cause and permit this crime. "There is scarcely an intelligent person today who makes the claim that such a law is unconstitutional. Practically everyone recognizes now that oppression has the power by appropriate legislation to enforce that part of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States which says that no State 'shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of its laws.' Our right to do this, so far as the 14th Amendment is concerned, is the same upon which we acted in providing a law for the enforcement of the 18th Amendment. Cry Congress Invading 'State Rights' "Practically the only opposition we hear now against a Federal Anti-Lynching law is the cry that Congress is invading 'States rights.' How silly this claim is, is made known to every person when it is shown that in the last 35 years there have been more than 4,000 known lynchings in the United States and that in scarcely an instance have there been any convictions of members of mobs and those responsible for this crime. If we should recognize 'States rights' in this matter, we will be simply convinced that mobs should be permitted to lynch persons without thought of possibility of punishment by the States. This opposition to this legislation is nothing more than the desire that this crime of lynching shall continue to go unpunished, that mob law shall continue to prevail and take the place of the courts. "It is surprising that newspapers will continue to argue against this legislation for this reason. Some splendid newspapers are now supporting this legislation, but many others are not and are trying to excuse their opposition by crying out that the Congress is invading States rights and State laws. In most cases newspapers take this position because they find it pleasing to their subscribers, a great many of whom are yet so filled with race prejudice that they are favored of opposing it. If the current newspapers of the country would all help us in this campaign for law and order and not think so much of pleasing their subscribers and advertisers we would soon be able to put this law upon the Statutes of the United States." SEPARATED FROM WIFE; MAN COMMITS SUICIDE NEW YORK, August 30—(K.N.F.

KANSAS CITY, KAN., Sept. 4.—A militant, insistent demand that the rights guaranteed every American citizen by the Constitution be accorded colored Americans dominated every session of the fourteenth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which closed here tonight. Delegates from 28 states, from Minnesota to Louisiana, and from New York to California were numbered among the 500 who attended the history-making conference. Then, as the late afternoon sun streamed through the windows of Convention hall, James Weldon Johnson arose and carried the conference to its peak in a great tense climax. He told first the simple, dramatic story of the Arkansas cases—how the National Association and its lawyers had fought through all the courts of Arkansas and through the Supreme court of the United States on the principle that if one peon in Arkansas can be railroaded to prison for hiring a lawyer, no Negro in the United States is safe from the same type of railroading. He asked for a fund of $100,00 to be used solely to defend colored people whom the Association knows to be deprived of their constitutional rights because of color. The fund would not be used, the speaker explained, to defend every colored person who got in jail, but every one deprived of his rights because of color. Mr. Johnson reiterated that statement that the only way colored Americans could hope to gain their full standing was to stand firm upon constitutional guarantees and seek their rights through the legally constituted courts of the land. Then he launched an attack upon Governor Hyde's letter and an editorial in the Kansas City Star. Fight to Death "His Excellency advises patience, industry, thrift and intelligence. Patience? We know that patience is a foundation upon which we have to build. But who has been more patient Seek Justice The call for just treatment was never stilled from the opening mass meeting on August 29, when James Welden Johnson in his response to the mayor and others said: "We are glad to be in Kansas City. We have come to this, the heart of America, in the hope that we may stir the heart of this nation to a sense of justice . . . ." to the ringing finale of William Pickens on Sept. 4, who said, "No nation can exist half lynched and half not lynched. No democratic community can exist where one part enjoys a lower standard of living than the other on this matter of demands for rights and protests, Bishop W. T. Vernon, of the A. M. E. church, sounded the sense of the 1,800 who jammed the church for the opening reception when he said, "Not protests? Why, liberty is the child of protest!" Giant Mass Meeting Without question, the high water mark of the conference was the great mass meeting Sunday afternoon September 2, in Kansas City's (Mo.) monster Convention hall, where 10, 900 colored people gathered to hear the story of the Arkansas riot cases. Preceding the meeting a silent parade of protest against mob violence disfranchisement and Jim Crowism was held. It was in the meeting that followed, "however, in the hall, with its tiers and tiers of black faces, with its white-garbed chorus of 200 trained voices and its double row of dignitaries on the platform—here it was that thousands upon thousands of Kansas Citians, delegates and visitors were stirred to white hot enchantment the drama that was enacted on platform. For example, was, with a prologue, a clash of opposing forces, a let-down just before the end and then a climax that brought thousands to their feet shouting and cheering. There or that wide platform the doctrine of Tuskegee again met the doctrine of DuBois. Resent "Darky" Governor Hyde of Missouri was forced to send a substitute because he had an appointment with President Cocidie the next day in Washington. The substitute, one Mr. Brown, created a furore when he used the word "dariy" before he had been on his feet one minute. Bishop Hurst halted him sharply, handclapping prevented him from either apologizing or proceeding with his speech for five or six minutes. The crowd seemed determined to clap the speaker down. Chairman Arthur S. Singarn and Secretary Johnson had to plead with the people to allow the speaker to go on. The speaker led a letter from Governor Hyde, urging "devotion, fundamental institutions, industry, thrift, individual achievement rather than the pursuit of so-called equality." There was the clash. William Pickens furnished the let-down when he called for a collection for the legal defense fund of the national office. J.

Sidelights The Kansas Citys set a precedent for entertainment of the conference in that there were no collections taken from delegates and visitors. $1,500 was raised in the two cities before the conference convened. Some kind of a medal should be given to J. Oliver Morrison, who directed the music—first because his musical programs preceding the Dyer meeting and the final session began ON TIME, and second because of the wonderful rendition of Dett's "Listen to the Lambs" in Convention hall. Rev. Dyer, in speaking of the lynching at Columbia, Mo., seat of the University of Missouri, said: "If I had a million children and they could be educated free at that University, not one would I send there." Arthus B. Spingarn declared that no democracy could be safe as long as the lie of race supremacy is countenanced. The most notable feature of the business sessions devoted to the work of the branches was the gripping recital of conditions in Shreveport, La., by Dr. H. C. Hudson. Dr. Hudson related how the chief of police and the sheriff interrupted a dance in honor of the state medical association and demanded William Pickens, who had been expected to attend, but who was delayed and finally warned away. To belong to the Association in Shreveport is courting bodily harm and possible death, Dr. Hudson said. William Pickens, in commenting on the Star's logic said: "Talk of achievements? Why I never kick when a man gives me the right change. It is only when he short changes me that I protest." Mrs. A. S. Steele, a New England woman who for forty years has built and managed an orphanage for colored children in Chattanooga, was the only speaker, not on the program, who was introduced and allowed to talk. The recital of her work constrained the convention to voluntarily give her a collection. In five minutes $75 was on the table. No more enthusiastic delegate attended the conference than Mrs. Myra K. Whitson a young college bred white woman of Kansas City. Mo. Mrs. Whitson is an active member, having secured more than 100 members for the local branch. A poem and an essay of hers has been accepted and printed in the Crisis and Opportunity. She is active in interracial work in Kansas City. Attorney General C. B. Griffith of Kansas, who presented the Spingarn medal characterized Prof. Carver as the Luther Burbank of color a genius who belongs to America. K.K.K.Decides It Won't Take Over Valparaiso "U" Announcement Made in The Flery Cross, a Klan Publication. Indianapolis, Inc., Sept. 5--Negotiations for purchase of Valparaiso university at Valparaiso, Ind., by the Ku Klux Klan have been dropped it was announced today by Milton Elrod, editor of the Fiery Cross, a klan publication. Technicalities in the charter and deeds of the university will prevent the klan from assuming control of the institution. Mr. Elrod said. He added that klan officials will take no further action toward acquiring the institution. In a telegram to Dr. H. J. Evans, president of Valparaiso, however, Mr. Elrod declared that should the board of trustees of the university themselves "develop some financial plan with which the traditions of Valparaiso university may be permeated, we ensure you the unofficial moral support." It was announced here recently by Mr. Elrod that the klan would take over the university which has become entangled in financial difficulties which made its future operation uncertain. $2.00 PER YEAR UTLER ST. PAUL JUSTICE URGES STAMPING OUT MOB VIOLENCE Spirit Carried Into Courts to Save Public Officers, Says Justice MOBTENDENCYANARCHISTIC Conspirators Assume to Fix Standards of Conduct, Declares Speaker (Tribune Service.) Attorneys and jurists in the United States were urged to make their influence felt in stamping out mob violence, in an address by Pierce Butler, of St. Paul, associate justice of the United States Supreme court, before the joint session of the American and Minnesota Bar associations in the Minneapolis auditorium, Wednesday afternoon, August 30. Mob rule is not limited to the streets, Justice Butler declared, but its spirit is carried into the courts to awe public officers, judges and jurors. The St. Paul jurist's severe denunciation of those who attempt to take the law into their own hands won a storm of applause from the hundreds who packed the auditorium to hear the address. Mob Tendency Anarchistic "The mob tendency." Justice Butler declared, "is an anarchic and threatens society, "Too often people attempt to take the law into their own hands. "That sort of thing occur in different ways and more frequently now than heretofore. No one defends or attempts to justify mob violence which occasionally breaks forth in lynchings. Few attempt to excuse that sort of murder. Yet local passion usually makes it impossible to convict lynchers. The mob spirit is brought into play to overweave and dominate public officers, jurors and judges. "In recent years there has come a wave of conspiracies worse than those that called forth the exercise of teh power of congress. Fix Standards of Conduct "Conspirators assume to fix standards of conducts and limit rights of others, and in secret prescribe punishment, determine the fate of those whom they wish to condemn. Their domination of public affairs, public officers and courts by threats and intimidation amount to a taking of the law and its enforcement out of the hands of its lawfully constituted authority. These things are anarchistic and threaten society. "They must be met in an orderly way by the forces of law. These forces may be greatly strengthened by the weight of intelligent public opinion. The conspirators should be identified and their crimes should be punished according to law. Lawyers have special obligations in respect to this. Denounces Speech Influences "The making of laws ought not to be dominated by particular interests or groups, Lawmakers are influenced by powerful groups and, yielding to pressure, pass laws and yet more laws. Leaders for selfish organizations control large numbers of votes. Domination by the sentiment of any particular interest or group, whether of capital or labor or other organization, is a common对象. It creates a feeling of class against class. It invites legislative experiments to relieve people from their own responsibilities. Not Limited to Alien, Ignorant "It is well known that there is much agitation detrimental to public welfare and good citizenship. Some of it is directed against the present order. It is not confined to the alien and ignorant. In some of our colleges and universities there is a good deal of false teachings in the field of politics and social science. Professors in many instances spread discontent among the students. The things that are good and essential to patriotism and nationalism have a patriotic and economic conditions are magnified, and the constitution is sometimes condemned as archaic and by some of them it is believed that religion is a hindrance to social progress. Those who would tear down are much more diligent than those who support our form of government. Considers Dry Law "There is a purpose on the part of many to demonstrate that laws which are unpopular or unacceptable to groups, occupations or particular classes of business cannot be enforced. This is not confined to laws regulating intoxicating liquors, but extends to many others. Devices to violate the law and escape prescribed penalties to keep within the letter and thwart the purpose are not less numerous than formerly. Widespread purpose to evade liquor laws, tax laws, anti-trust laws, and many others is evident in many places. The documents of the courts furnish convincing evidence of this. These things tend towards destruction of all law, and strike at the safety of society." Royal A. Stone of St. Paul, associate justice of the state supreme court, presided at the joint meeting. He is resident of the state bar association. J. Q. Adams ..... Editor-in-Chief Roy Wilkins ..... Managing Editor Odell D. Smith .....

(From the Boston Chronicle) In some portions of the North, particularly in Massachusetts, the black man who says he has no reason to be kind or polite to a woman merely because she may chance to be white doesn't know what he is talking about, and he ought to be taught a lessen. Even in the South, where white men declare as a matter of course that black men have no rights that whites are bound to respect, the black man, although he may salve his rebellious soul, gains nothing of lasting spiritual good by being insolent, impolite and boorish in public places towards the women whom, instinctively, he has learned to hate and fear. The woman in any civilization is the product of her masculine environment. The thoughts she thinks and otters are invariably the thoughts of her men; the attitude she assumes towards the community and greater problems, she adopted from male relatives and friends. She is an artificial plant ed by artificial means, the means in these cases being the men, who, directly or indirectly, influence her thoughts, speech and actions. This is so in the South. If toleration for colored people may be found in greater abundance in the north among white women, it is because their men are less intolerant. All of the foregoing has been said as a prelude to this: Black men who occupy seats in street cars and subway trains, pretending to be buried in the pages of their newspapers, while women stand in their presence, are unworthy of being called men It matters not whether the women be black or white, Americans or foreigners: The rule has early been established in this country that chivalry shall govern the conduct of gentlemen in the presence of ladies; their behavior stamps them as less, just as all women are ladies as a matter of course. No one can with logic deny that this early established rule is an excellent one. The black man who fails to rise and proffer his place to a woman because she is white may think himself fully and honorably justified. We know that the trend of his reasoning is thus: White men don't give up their seats in cars to my women; white women don't thank colored men for offering them seats; in the South I should probably be murdered for my courtesy. That is the trend of his reasoning, but is a trend in the wrong direction. It is likely to create in the mind grotesque and unfortunate reasons for certain actions—actions which neither logic nor justice could reconcile. A black man who has been treated as less than a man by white persons all his life, should welcome the opportunity to prove that he is, in spite of the treatment he has received, possessor of those noble qualities which makes some races superior to others. A black man's passive insult to a white woman does not palliate a white man's insult to a black woman. A black man has an opportunity in his dealings with women, regardless of race or color, to show his superiority over those who prate superiority constantly, yet who fail, when opportunity comes to present their proofs. A white man who will sit in a train or car while a woman of his own kind swings to a strap above him will certainly do this before a black woman; a white man who is charivous and a gentleman to the most lowly black char woman can be nothing less than a gentleman wherever he may go. A black man who ignores the amenities of our social order because of a desire to "get even" with white men who may do so is short-sighted, thoughtless, a poor diplomat and a boor. THE NORTH CAROLINA WAY (Minnesota Daily Star) The colored exodus to the North, so alarming to Southern employing interests, is affecting North Carolina least of the Southern states, according to the survey of this movement in the Christian Science Monitor. The reason given for this is very significant. It is that North Carolina is spending more money and effort to educate the colored man and promote his advancement than her neighbors. N. C. Newbold, head of the division of colored education under the state department of public instruction, reports that North Carolina is now spending more than $3,500,000 a year for colored education. Salaries paid colored educators last year aggregated $1,800,000, which was an increase of $300,000 over the preceding year. In 1900 the state spent less than $1,000,000 for all educational purposes. In addition to liberal appropriations for normal, agricultural, technical and training schools for colored pupils, at the close of this year there will be in this state more than 300 Rosenwald schools for instruction and training in the rural districts. The larger cities of North Carolina are spending more than $1,000,000 annually for school buildings for colored children. Dr. James B. Dudley, colored president of the Agricultural and Technical college at Greensborough, says that the colored leaders throughout the state are profoundly grateful for this splendid program of education and advancement. The result, Prof. Newbold states, after making a careful survey, is that very few of the better class of colored folks are leaving the state. Evidently, North Carolina has outgrown the effort of trying to keep the colored people down, and is finding that educating a race, elevating it and helping it to make progress is much better and safer than trying to keep it in subjection. It might be a good idea to start out with this principle in the North in view of the fact that the colored people are coming to us in greater numbers every year. SCANDAL (Half Century Magazine) That colored newspapers have improved in the past decade is obvious to the most casual observer. From the little poorly fade up four-page affairs of a few years ago to our spendid twenty-four page journals with the magazine and picture sections is a long jump indeed. But while there is more news, many of the colored papers, following the beaten path of the white journals are filling their columns full to overflowing with scandal of every kind. Bold headlines on the front pages tell of murders, forgeries, robberies, fist fights, suicides, deaths from alcoholism, raids, a cutting affray or two, news of the cabarets, and scandal of the most vicious kind. Fraternal and religious news, philanthropy, commercial progress, and education are squeezed in the smallest possible space on the back pages. The average white person, reading one of our journals, would get the impression that we are a race of thieves and murderers, that all of our women are disreputable and that scandal is the very breath of life to us. Why not clean up a bit and seek some news that is cleaner and more uplifting? Let, us tell other people of the good we are doing that they may have a better opinion of us. To the Editor of the Appeal: I note in your issue of Sept. 1 your article "Big Fashion Revue Opens at State Fair" embodies the following: "The covers of the book are opened by dusky pages, etc." I wish to protest the use of the above description of our little race, boys who filled their role with both credit and dignity. One might expect to see a like expression come from the pen of a caucasian editor, but from the editor, who knows with our lack of common sense, immunity, and fails to digify any legitimate employment offered us, fails to live up to the expectation of his readers. I think the reading public will agree with me, that any service which society demands is perfectly suited to the book, as "the covers of the book" need be opened, and the "pages" were chosen from our race, why was it necessary for the Appeal 15 describe them as "the book"? ETHEL HOWARD MAXWELL Chicago, Ill., Sept. 4—Mrs. Nancy Green, 89, known to thousands as "Aunt-Jemima" of pancake fame, is dead here today, the victim of an automobile accident. The aged colored woman first became famous for her skill with a flapjack turner at the Chicago world fair in 1893. A milling concern obtained her recipe and since then her picture has appeared on the pancake flour bearing her name. She has also an used crowds at hundreds of fairs and exhibitions. "Aunt Jemima" was widely known among her own race for her church and school. She was killed when a car driven by Dr. H. S. Seymour collided with a truck and hurtled on to the sidewalk where she was standing. No U. S. Jobs in Texas For Klan Members Washington, Aug. 21—Following a conference with President Coolidge, R. B.

They come, blustering, but Stewart's determined attitude cows them, and begins its return to the ranch. arm, he shrank back, a strange action for the savage and crude man she judged him to be. "But that day at Chiricahus you spoke of faith," he burst out. "You said the greatest thing in the world was faith in human nature. You said you had faith in me! You made me have faith in myself." His reproach, without bitterness or scorn, was a lash to her old egistic belief in her fairness. She had preached a beautiful principle that she had failed to live up to. "You think I am vile," he said. "You think that about Bonita! And all the time I've been . . . I could make you ashamed—I could tell you—" His passionate utterance ceased with a snap of his teeth. His lips set in a thin, bitter line. The agitation of his face preceded a conclusive wrestling of his shoulders. "No, no!" he panted. Was it his answer to some mighty temptation? Then, like a bent sapling released, he sprang erect. "But I'll be the man—the do-you think me!" He laid hold of her arm with rude, powerful clutch. One pull drew her sliding half out of the saddle into his arms. She felt with her breast against his, not wholly free of stirrups or horse, and these she hung, utterly powerless. Maddened, writting, she could to release herself. All she could accomplish was to twist herself, raise herself high enough" to see his face. That almost paralyzed her. Did he mean to kill her? Then he wrapped his arms around her and crushed her tighter, close to him. She felt the pound of his heart; her own seemed to have frozen. Then he pressed his burning lips to hers. It was a long, terrible kiss. She felt him shake. "Oh, Stewart! I—implore—you—let-me-go!" she whispered. His "white face loomed over hers. She closed her eyes. He rained kisses upon her face, but no more upon her mouth. On her closed eyes, her hair, her cheeks, her neck he pressed swift lips—lips that lost their fire and grew cold. He released her, and, lifting and righting in the saddle, he still held her arm to keep her from falling. For a moment Madeline sat on her horse with shut eyes. She dreaded the light. "Now you can't say you've never been kissed." Stewart said. His voice A "Now You Can't Say You've Never Been Kissed," Stewart Said. seemed a long way off. "But that was coming to you, so be game. Here!" She felt something hard and cold and metallic thrust into her hand. He made her fingers close over it, hold it. The feel of the thing revived her. She opened her eyes. Stewart had given her his gun. He stood with his broad breast against her knee, and she looked up to see that old mocking smile on his face. "Go ahead! Throw my gun on me! Be a thoroughbred!" Madeline did not yet grasp his meaning. "You can put me down in that quiet place on the hill—beside Monty Price." Madeline dropped the gun with a shuddering cry of horror. The sense of his words, the memory of Monty, the certainty that she would kill Stewart if she held the gun an instant longer, tortured the self-accusing cry from her. Stewart stooped to pick `\up` the weapon. "You might have saved me a `\if`—1 of a lot of trouble," he said, with another flash of the mocking smile. "You're beautiful and sweet and proud, but you're no thoroughbred!` Majesty Hammond, adios." Stewart leaped for the saddle of his horse, and with the flying mount crashed through the mesquites to disappear. CHAPTER XX The Secret Told. Late in the night Madeline fell asleep. In the morning she was pale and languid, but in a mental condition that promised compose. It was considerably after her regular hour that Madeline repaired to her office. The door was open, and just outside, ripped back in a chair, sit Stillwell. "Mawnt," Mine Majesty," be said, as he greet her with his small courtesy. Madeline shrank inwardly, fearing his old lamentations about Stewart. Then she saw a dusty, ragged pony in the yard and a little burro drooping on a heavy back. Both NEW YORK MAN KILLS SELF IN MOTHER'S HOME NEW YORK, Sept. 6. — (K.N. F. Service). The dead body of Oscar Gant, aged 40, was found Tuesday morning in the bathroom at the home of his mother, Mrs. Julia Gant, who lives at 132 W. 189th street. He had been shot in the back. The tube was found attached to the jet and the gas was on full force. animals bore evidence of long, arduous travel. "To whom do they belong?" asked Madeline. "Them, critters? Why, Danny Mains," replied Stillwell, with a cough that betrayed embarrassment. "Is Danny Mains here?" she asked, in sudden curiosity. The old cattleman nodded gloomily. "Yep, he hyar, all right. Sloped in from the hills' an he hollered to see Bonita. He's locosed, too, about that little black-eyed husky. Why, he hardly said, Howdy, Bill, before he began to ask wild an' eager questions. I took him in to see Bonita. He's been theremore' a half-hour now." Rapid footsteps with an accompaniment of clinking spurs sounded in the hallway. Then a young man ran out upon the porch. He was a handsome, frank-faced boy. At sight of Madeline he slammed down his sombrero and, leaping at her, he possessed himself of her hands. His swift violence not only alarmed her, but painfully reminded her of something she wished to forget. This cowboy bent his head and kissed her hands and wring them, and when he straightened up he was crying. "Miss Hammond, she's safe an 'almost well, an' what I feared most an' never, thank God," he cried. "Sure I'll never be able to pay you for you've done for her. She's told me how she was dragged down here, how Gene was dragged down here, how you pay for Gene an' her, too, how Monty at the last thrown his guns. Poor Monty! We were good friends, Monty an' I. The Nels an' Nick an' Gene, he's been some friend to me; but Monty Price was—he was grand. He never knew, any more than you or Bill, here, or the boys, what Bonita was to me." Stillwell's kind and heavy hand fell upon the cowboy's shoulder. "Danny, what's all this queer gab?" he asked. "An' you takin' some lieutenant Hammond, you Hammond, you seen you before. You're not drinkin', Come, ease up now 'an' talk sense." The cowboy's fine, frank face broke into a smile. He dashed the tears from his eyes. He then laughed. His laugh had a pleasant, boyish ring—a happy ring. "Bill, old pal, stand bridle down a minute, will you?" Then he bowed to Madeline. "I beg your pardon, Miss Hammond, for seemin' rudeness. I'm Danny Mains. An' Bonita is my wife. I'm so crazy glad she's safe an' unharmed—so grateful to you that—why, sure it's a wonder I didn't kiss you outright." "Bonita's your wife!" ejaculated Stillwell. "Sure. We've been married for months," replied Danny, happily. "Gene Stewart did it. Good old Gene. I guess maybe I haven't come to pay him up for all he's done for me! You see, I've been in love with Bonita for two years. An' Gene="you know, Bill, what a way Gene has with girls—he was—well, he was tryin' to get Bonita to have me." Madeline's quick, varying emotions were swallowed up in a boundless gladness. Something dark, deep, heavy, and somber was flooded from her heart. She had a sudden rich sense of gratitude toward this smiling, clean-faced cowboy whose blue eyesashed through tears. "Danny Mains!" she said, tremulously and smilingly. "If you are as glad AYERS "If You Really Think I Merit Such a Reward, You May Kiss Me Outright." as your news has made me—if you really think I merit such a reward—you may kiss me outright." With a bashful wonder, but with right hearty will, Danny Mains availed himself* of this gracious privilege. Still well shorted. The signs of his phenomenal smile were manifest, otherwise Madeline would have thought that snort an indication of furious disapproval. "Bill, straddle a chair," said Danny. "You've gone back a heap these last few months, frettin' over your bad boys, Danny an' Gene. You'll need support under you while I'm throwin' my yarn. Story of my life, Bill." He placed a chair for Madeline. "Miss Hammond, beggin' your pardon again, I want you to listen, also. You're the face an' eyes of a woman who loves to hear of other people's happiness. Besides, somehow, it's easy for me to talk lookin' at you." Walking off the porch, he stood behold the soft, yellower characteristic within the soft, yellower characteristic. Mrs. Ollie Brown, colored, of Kansas City, was walking with "another man" when she heard the report of a woman who was being separated conscious. At the hospital where she was taken, it was said she was unhurt. "I thought my husband shot her," she said, separated and he said he would shoot her ever caught me with another fellow." men of his class he slipped the pack from the burro and threw saddle and bridle from the horse. He untled the pack and, taking a small, heavy sack from' it, he came up upon the porch. Deliberately he dumped the contents of the sack at Stillwall's feet. Piece after piece of rock thumped on the floor. The pieces were sharp, ragged, evidently broken from a ledge; the body of them was white in color, with yellow veins and hars and streaks. Stillwall grasped up- one rock after another, stared and stuttered, put the rocks to his lips, dug into them with his shaking fingers; then he lay back in his chair, head against the wall, and as he gaped at Danny the old smile began to transform his face. Danny regarded Stillwell with lofty condescension. "Now, Bill, what we've got here, say, offhand!" "Oh, Lord, Danny! I am afraid to say, Look, Miss Majesty, jest look at the gold. I've lived among prospectors an' gold mines for thirty years, an' I never seen the heat of this." "The Lost Mine of the Padres!" cried丹尼, in stentorian voice. "An' it belongs to me!" Stillwell made some incoherent sound as he sat up fascinated, quite beside himself. "Bill, it was some long time ago since you saw me," said丹尼. "Fact is, I know how you felt, because Gene kept me posted. I happened to run across Bonita, 'an' I wasn't goin' to let her ride away alone, when she told me she was in trouble. We hit the trail for the Pelocillos. Bonita had Gene's horse, 'an' she was to meet him on the trail. We got to the mountains all right, 'an' nearly starved for a few days till Gene found us. He had got in trouble himself an' couldn't fetch much with him. "We made for the crags an' built a cabin. I come down that day Gene saw his horse. Majesty to you. Never saw Gene so broken-hearted. Well, after he sloped for the border Bonita an' I were hard put to it to keep alive. But we got along, an' I think it was then she began to care a little for me. Once I went to El Cajon an' run plumb into Gome. He was back from the reverence of the town. I went away from him after doin' all I could to drag him out of town. A long time after that Gene trailed up to the crags an' found us. Gene had stopped drinkin' he'd changed wonderful, was fine an' dandy. It was then he began to pester the life out of me to make me marry Bonita. I was happy, so was she, an' I was some scared of spoillin' it. Gene's dog-gone hard to buck against! I had to give in, an' I asked Bonita to marry me. Well, she wouldn't at first—said she wasn't good enough for me. But I saw the marriage idea was workin' deep, an' I just kept on being. I was not sure what I was wantin' to marry Bonita' my belin' glad to marry her—that made her grow soft an' sweet an' pretty as a mountain quail. Gene fetched up as Padre Marcos, an' he married us." Danny paused in his narrative, breathing hard, as if the memory of the incident described had stirred strong and thrilling feeling in him. Stillwell's smile was rapturous. Madeline leaned toward Danny with her eyes shining. "Miss Hammond, an' you. Bill Stillwell, now listen, for this is strange I can't believe," Bonita an' I were married, when Gene an' the padre had gone, she left me for a little, an' when she came back she wore some pretty yellow flowers in her hair. She said some queer things about spirits rollin' rocks down the canyon. Then she said she wanted to show me where she always sat an' waited an' watched for me when I was away. She led me around under the crags to a long slope. It was some pretty there—clear 'an' open, with a little water. She deep an' red. There were yellow flowers on that slope, the same kind she had in her hair. "When I heard the strange crack of rollin' rockers—heard them rattle down an' roll an' grow faint—I was some out of my head. But not for long. Then rocks were rollin' all right, only it was the weatherin' of the cliffs. "An there under the crags was a gold pocket. "Then I was worse, than loceded. I went gold-crazy. I worked like seventeen burros. Bill, I dug a lot of gold-bearin' quartz. Bonita watched the trails for me, brought me water. That was how she come to get caught by Pat Hare an' his guerrillas. Sure! Pat Hare was' so set on doin' Goin' dirt that he mixed up with Don Carlos. Bonita will tell you some staggerin' news about that outfit. Just now my story is all gold." Danny Mains got up and kicked back his chair. Blue lightning gleamed from his eyes as he thrust a hand toward Stillwell. "Bill, old pal, put her there—give me your hand," he said. "You were always my friend. You had faith in me. Well, Danny Mains owes you, 'a' he owes Gene' Stewart a good deal, 'a' Danny Mains pays. I want two partners to help me work my gold mime. You 'a' Gene. Go fetch him; 'a' right here in this house, with my wife an 'Miss Hammond as witnesses, we'll draw up a partnership. Go find him, Bill. I want to show him this gold, show him Howdy Mains pays! 'An the only bitter drop in my cup today is that I can't ever pay Montoy Price." Madeline watched the huge Stillwell and the little cowboy, both talking wildly, as they walked off arm in arm to find Stewart. She imagined something of what Danny's disappointment would be, of the elder man's consternation and grief, when he learned Stewart had left for the border. At this juncture she looked up to see a strange, yet familiar figure approaching. Padre Marcos! CHAIR PUSHERS STAGE DUEL AT SEASHORE ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept 6—(K.N.F. V.)—A large crowd was attracted here on the Boardwalk the other day when an argument between two chair pushers became so hot that the police had to interfere. Both men arrested. They gave their names as Charles and Herman Graves, an East Indian. Mention of Padre Marcos, sight of him, had always occasioned Madeline a little indefinable shock; and now, as he stepped to the porch, a shrunken, stooped, and sad-faced man, she was startled. The padre bowed low to her. "Senora, will you grant me audience? It is a matter of great moment, which you might not care to have any one hear." Wonderingly Madeline inclined her head. The padre gently closed one door and then the others. "Senora, I have come to disclose a secret—my own sinfulness in keeping it—and to implore your pardon. Do you remember that night Senor Stewart dragged me before you in the waiting-room at El Cajon?" "Yes," replied Madeline. "Senora, since that night you have been Senor Stewart's wife!" Madeline became as motionless as stone. She seemed to feel nothing, only to hear. "You are Senor Stewart's wife. I have kept the secret under fear of death. But I could keep it no longer. Senor Stewart may kill me now. Ah, Senora, it is very strange to you. You were so frightened that night, you knew not what happened. Senor Stewart threatened me. You made me speak the service. You made me speak the Spanish yes. And I, Senora, knowing the deeds of these sinful cowboys, fearing worse than disgrace to one so beautiful and so good as you, I could not do less than marry you truly. At least you should be his wife. So I married you, truly, in the service of my church." "My God!" cried Matteau, rising. "Hear me! I impulse you, Senora, he was so tired and not feel so. Do not look so—so— Ah, Senora, let me speak a word for Senora Stewart. He was drunk that night. He did not know what he was about. In the morning he came to me, made me swear by my cross that I would not reveal the disgrace he put upon you. If I did he would kill me. Life is nothing to the American vanguard. Senora. I promised to respect his command, but I did not tell him you were his wife. He did not dream I had truly married you. He went to work with me in the army. Senora, he is one splendid soldier—and I brooded over the sin of my secret. If he were killed I need never tell you. But if he lived I knew that I must some day. "Senora, I pray you, do not misunderstand my mission. Beyond my confession to you I have only a duty to tell you of the man whose wife you are. But I am a priest and I can read the soul. The ways of God are inscrutable. I am only a humble instrument. You are a noble woman, and Senor Stewart is a man of desert iron forged on the crucible of love, Quen sabe? Senor Stewart sware he would kill me if I betrayed him. But he will not lift his hand against me, and pure love, and it has changed him. To love you above the spirit of the flesh; to know you are his wife, his, never to be another's except by his sacrifice; to watch you with a secret glory of joy and pride; to stand, while he might, between you and evil; to find his happiness in service; to wait, with never a dream of telling you, for the hour to come when to leave you free he must go out and get himself shot! Senora, that is beautiful, it is sublime, it is terrible. It has brought me to you with my confession. So I besech you in my humble office as priest, as a lover of mankind, before you send Stewart to his death, to be sent to the prison of dispenation of God. I pray you, Senora, before you let Stewart give you freedom at such cost be sure you do not want his love, lest you cast away something sweet and ennobling which you yourself have created." 泌 CHAPTER XXI Blinded, like a wild creature, Madeline Hammond ran to her room. She felt as if a stroke of lightning had shattered the shadowy substance of the dream she had made of real life. The wonder of Danny Malin's story, the strange regret with which she had realized her injustice to Stewart, the astounding secret as revealed by Padre Marcos—these were forgotten in the sudden consciousness of her own love. She liberated the thought that knocked at the gates of her mind. With quivering lips she whispered it. Then she spoke aloud: "I will say it—hear it. I—I love him." In a nature like hers, where strength of feeling had long been inhibited as a matter of training, such a transforming surprise as sudden consciousness of passionate love required time for its awakening, time for its sway. By and by that last enlightening moment come, and Madeline Hammond faced not only the love in her heart, but the thought of the man she loved. Suddenly, as she raged, something in her—this daintiest new personality—took arms against indictment of Gene Stewart. Her mind whirled about him and his life. She saw him drunk, brutal; she saw him abandoned, lost. Then out of the picture she had of him thus slowly grew one of a different man—weak, sick, changed by shock, growing strong, strangely, spiritually altered, silent, lonely like an eagle, secretive, treeless, faithful, soft as a woman, hard as iron to endure, and at the last noble. "Oh, it is all terrible!" she cried. "I am his wife. His wife! That meeting with him—the marriage—then his fall, his love, his rise, his silence, his pride! And I can never be anything to him. Could I be anything to him? I Madeline Hammond? And I am his (To be continued next week) BATTLING SIKI ON WAY TO THE UNITED STATES NEW YORK, August 30—(K.N.F.

Spingarn and Bishop Hurst brought greetings and assurance of interest to the men from the National Asso- ciation, the women of the country, the fair-minded white people, and the church respectively. Speakers Rap G. 0. P. The closing session was marked bs the presentation of the Springarn medal to Dr. G. W. Carver, of Tus: kegee. Dr. Carver exhibited a num. of the products he has made from the peanut, the sweet potato) clay and the pecan, An outstanding feature of the de- liberations was the condemnation o! the practice of colored voters of sell: ing themselves and their ballot tc one party. It was evident all through the ‘sessions that Negroes all ove the country had forsaken the onc party idea and were voting for mer and measures rather than for a parts label. T. G. Nutter, of Charleston W. Va., urged the Negro to use the ballot to protect himself. The G. 0 P. was given an unmereiful drubbing by him and other speakers with the enthusiastic approval of the audi ences, Reports from branches ir every area indicate that the colore¢ voter is voting independently for the men who will protect his inter ests, A reply to President Coolidge’ message of greeting asked the Pres. ident to (a) lend his support to the Dyer bill (b) place the Tuskegee hos. pital under colored _ management “from* superintendent to janitor’ (c) consider a grant of amnesty to the Houston riot prisoners and (d) with. draw American marines from Hait and restore Haitian sovereignty... To Raise $100,000 As final evidence of the determi. nation of the conference, the dele gates, and the National ‘Association to secure full rights before the law the women of the Association an: nounced on the closing night that ar organization would be formed to raise a_legal defense fund of $100,000. Mrs. Myrtle Cook, secretary of the Kansas City. Mo. branch, and wife of the principal of Lincoln’ high school, has already been elected national chairman, ‘The conference next year will be held at Philadelphia. LOYALTY By E. W. Gilles. Loyalty to God is the thing, the God of the Bible, the trinitarian God God the Father, God the Son, God the Holv Ghost. It is the trinitarian gospel that vitally reaches the hearts and lives of men. Loyalty to the Bible is the thing. loyalty to the first few chapters of the Bible as the average man. would understand and believe them. Loy- alty to the first few chapters of the gospels as the average man would understand and believe them, loyalty to the last few chapters of the gos- pels as the average man would un- derstand them and believe them. Loyalty to the entire Bible despite one’s inability to explain it in all of its parts as he might wish. Loyalty to the church is the thing. The church is God's institution in the world, and individuals and nations have gone up or down according to their loyalty or disloyalty to it. Loyalty to government is the thing. One is either a citizen or a guest of the nation in which he lives, and as either a citizen or a guest loyalty is required of him. When one is a. guest in another's home he is loyal to it or he soon wears out his welcome. ‘Whether alien or citizen the thing to do is to accept the government under which he lives, with all of its faults, and improve it constructively as fast and as far as possible. Loyalty to one’s family is the thing. When husband and wife as far as possible go out together or stay at home together there is hope. ‘When husband and wife fein, ge same church and are faithful t9 it and live up to it there is hope. When husband and wife erect the family altar and are faithful to it and live up to it there is hope. When husband and wife talk less and pray more ‘and refrain from the discussion of differ- ences there is hope. When husband and wife are sympathetic and con- siderate and courteous and co-oper- ative and companionable there is hope. what CLEARANCE SALE USED CARS.--ALL MODELS $50 AND UP HALL HERSCHBACK MOTOR COMPANY WHEN YOU THINK REAL ESTATE THINK OF SCHUCK & SCHUGK REALTY CO, TEL.
