a. M. E. BISHOP REPRovED
(By Asgociated Negro Pressl

~ ~ASSONA~hO0 4NCSAO 4 ISSSJ
Baltimore, Md, Nov. 26.-An evil
dence' of the public dissatisfaction
with men who employ white lawyers
to fight their legal battles was mani
tested here recently when the Afro
American Order of Owls passed reso-
lutions condemning such action of
Bishop John Albert Johnson.
Bishop Johnson was called upon to
answer to an injunction in the supe-
rior court of the city filed by Rev.
John Offer Custis, who claimed that
the bishop removed him from his
charge without cause Custis pro-
cured three lawyers to press his
claims, while the bishop was repre-.
sented by a white attorney.
The resolution states that the "Af-
rican Methodist church is setting a
bad example for its large constitu.
ency to follow in passing over the
heads of SO many able Colored attor-
neys to place the peoples money in
the hands of white man.

WHITE WOMAN OFFERS
SOLUTION TO RACE PROBLEM

A solution of the race problem has
teen suggested by Mrs. Elizabeth
Tilton of Massachusetts, a white wo-
man, who has recently come into
prominence during the national pro-
hibition campaign. Mrs. Tilton pro-
poses solution, mot by segrega-
tion," but by "scatteration." She
would have the Negroes distributed
throughout the entire country so
that every community would have
its proportion of Negroes. To pro-
vide decent homes and surroundings
for Negroes thus placed she suggests
that $2,OOO,00O be raised, either by
public taxation, or through philan-
thropic contributions be loaned to
Negroes and spent in the building Of
homes.
Where thirty billions have been
spent to make democracy SAFE" she
says, "at least two millions might
he spent to make it decent"

MAJOR sPINeARN PROTESTS
TO GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS
Urges Communication of Death Penalty
Imposed on Eleven Negroes

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Urging as
service to the nation, the commuta-
tion to life Imprisonment of death
sentences imposed upon eleven Ne
groes in Arkansas, Major ]. E. Spin
garn, late of the A. E. F. in France,
has telegraphed Governor Charles H.
Brough of Arkansas. Major Spingarn
urges the communication in order that
further light on the recent race riots
in Arkansas may be obtained Lefore
''irreparable wrong" is done.
The telegram reads:
Hon. Charles H. Brough,
Governor of Arkansas,
Little Rock, Ark:
AS one who has always had high
faith in your courage and sense of
justice, and who has admired the lib
eral attitude which you have ex-
pressed in regard to the Negro, I am
appealing to you to commute to life
Imprisonment the sentence of the
eleven Negroes recently condemned to
death. From testimony obtained by
two persons actually on the ground,
am convinced that the interests of
justice would best be served by this
Communication, in order that an irrep-
arabic wrong may not be done before
further light on the whole subject is
obtained. AS patriotic American l
should hate to have the fair name of
Arkansas subject even to the suspi-
cion of having done a grave injustice
at time when more than ever the
relations Of white and black men
should be on a basis of fair play and
mutual understanding. You have it
In your power to perform national
service at this crisis, and l feel sure
that you will not shrink from doing it.

RECEIVES MEDAL FOR BRAVERY
(By Associated Negro Pressl

(By Associated Negro Press)
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 26.-To re-
ceive distinguished service cross
for deed Of heroism is a wonder
full experience, but it cannot compare
with the delicious sensation" of be.
ing awarded one over a year after
the act was committed.
This is the opinion Of Nicholas
Rodgers, butler to DR.. Harry Fried
enwald, 1929 Madison avenue, who
has just received a Croix de Guerre
for his bravery and heroism during
the Champagne drive September last.
Rodgers was messenger in the
American expeditionary force, carry
ing dispatches from headquarters to
the officers at the front. 1t was on
the very day on which his compan-
ion first went over the top that his
captain was shot just as he was
about to deliver a message to him.
Rodgers rushed to his assistance,
opened his collar so that he might
get some relief, when a second bullet
whizzed along, striking him in the
back. With the assistance Of three
other men, Rodgers carried him un-
der heavy barrage back to recrea-
tion hut, where first aid was admin
istered. Then he went into the thick
Of the fight.

THE UNEMPLOYED

Tell me not in hopeful ditties
That there are no idle men,
For the cry from all the cities
Prove you've lied and lied again.
Need is real! Men are earnest
Hunting work the country through,
But the pre-war times returneth,
And they find no work to do.
No enjoyment-onlys sorrow,
For poor families in distress,
How they'll get meal tomorrow
None would even dare to guess.
Debts are large and cash is fleeting,
And our hearts once light and gay
Now like courthouse bells are beating
For the sheriff's auction day.
In the worlds broad field Of battle
In this hot commercial hell,
Poor folks are a helpless chattel
That the rich may buy and sell.
Trust no plute, however winning,
His fair promise may sound,
He'll be nice at the beginning
Just to get you gagged and bound.
Lives of rich men all remind US
That we poor men made it all,
Forging chains of wealth to bind US,
While at Mammon's feet we crawl
Crawling that perhaps another
Who may vote few years hence,
Some forlorn and soup-fed brother,
Seeing us, shall learn some sense.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT
BUREAU OF WAR RISK INSUR.
ANcE
BY LIEUT.. ]. WILLIAMS CLIFFORD
Bureau Of War Risk Insurance

Washington, D. C.-The new ruling
made by the treasury department to
the effect that soldiers, sailors and
marines who have dropped their gov.
ernment insurance may reinstate II
IL months after discharge without
paying back premiums is of tremen.
dous Importance to Colored men who
served in the army and navy during
the world war.
Under this ruling of the secretary
of the treasury, those making applica-
tion for reinstatement will be required
to pay only the premium on the
amount Of insurance to be reinstated
for the month of grace in which they
were protected, and for the current
month.
When the men are mustered out of
the service the insurance continues
in force for one month and they are
fully protected during that period
even If their premium has remained
unpaid. In reinstating, that months
premium will be required as well as
the premium for the month in which
the reinstatement is effected
Colored soldiers, some of them,
have been under the impression that
this new ruling would reinstate them
automatically. But such is not the
case. Application for reinstatement
must be made and the two premiums,
as above indicated, must be paid
The ruling also stipulates that when
applying for reinstatement the man
be in as good health as at the date
Of discharge.
Government insurance has been
made possible by a grateful nation
which feels 1t owes a debt to the
nearly 100000 men who made up the
American army and navy. This new
ruling demonstrates that the govern
ment is now making every effort to
give former service men the benefit
OF the most liberal provisions possible
in order that even those soldiers who
have not yet established themselves
fully In civilian pursuits may keep
their war risk insurance in force.
A statement made by the director Of
the bureau, Col. r. G. Cholmeley-
Jones. should be given serious consid-
GRAFTON. He said. ,
Don't forget that men die or be-
come disabled in peace times as well
as in war and that IT, a-man waits. he
may not be in as good health as he
was at time Of his discharge and con.
seduently may not be able to secure
reinstatement. Do It now"

TEST OF AMERICAN

COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 26.-
American Christianity is to be test
ed by its spirit in approaching the
problem of the Negro" declared Rev.
DR.. Irving Maurer of the First Con-
gregational church in his sermon on
American Christianity and the Ne
gro'
Since there are no legal restric.
tions on the Negroes migration from
the south, we must face the problem
OF his presence in our communities"
Rev. DR.. Maurer recognized the In
dustrial and economic Importance Of
the Negro in the north and praised
the work Of the Negro laborer during
the war.
Il am glad" he continued, "that If
the Negro constitutes a problem, it is
a result of his progress. thank
God that freedom spells the doom Of
all manner of serfdom." e-Y
Future danger" according to DR..
Maurer, "lies in separateness. not in
intimate contact. To the advocates
of racial purity, this is protected. not
by Strengthening divisive tendencies,
but rather through active and init.
mate contact with other cultures.
What the Negro leaders need" he
declared, sis liberal arts education
to lead them and their people into
the universal spirit"

Baltimore, M. D., Nov. 26.-In re-
ply to the report on radical news
papers filed with Attorney General
Palmer in Washington alleging that
radical Negro papers-which are not
named-are stirring up Colored folks
to opposing the government, concert
ed action is planned by the four Col
ored newspapers Of this city.
1t Is expected that an announcement
will be issued stating that in the
countrywide roundup of l. w. w. and
other red agitators, not single Col.
ored person has been arrested or even
suspected in Baltimore and Maryland.
The Negro press of this city rightly
resents blanket accusations directed
against all Colored newspapers and
calls upon the department of justice
to call the names of those journals
it would damn" as radicals The
four Colored newspapers in Baltimore
StanQ Tor:
The right of Negroes to vote and
hold public office.
The right to sit on petit, grand and
coroner's juries.
Equal school facilities.
Adjustment of the Jim Grow car.
The right to purchase property and
live anywhere without molestation.
The right of Negro labor to organ
ize.
The right of accused persons to
due process Of law" and the punish
ment of mobs. IT
Far from opposing the government,
Colored newspapers here are but ad-
vocating the rights guaranteed to all
citizens by the constitution of the

coLoRED MAYOR IN ILLINOIS
lny Asgoeiated NEGRO Presgl

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 26.-"Let the Col
ored people have transportation and
housing and they are going to segre
gate themselves naturally. Help them
get situated right and they'll work it
out by themselves"
This is the advice of the only Negro
mayor among the municipalities Of
Cook county, Thomas ]. Kellar, mayor
of the village of Robbins, with a popu-
lation close to 1000 Ninety-eight per
cent of the population is Colored.
They have elections, taxes, town hall,
schools, special assessments and all
the white mans civic appurtenances.
The chief boundaries of the village of
Robbins are the Rock Island railroad
and Sacraemnto avenue on the west
135th street on the north, 143rd street
on the south. Near by is the village
of Posen with 80 per cent of its popu-
lation Polish.
"Our people in Robbins are people
mostly that get tired of the white
fights and the crowded city," said
Mayor Kellar "They came out here
to raise chickens, make gardens and
be a little more free. There was
quite an influx of younger people in
the last few months, enough so that
we organized company L Of the Chi
cago guards. I've been here eight
years. l used to be able to sit down
and name everybody in the village,
but now there's lot of people don't
know at ALL"
How many arrests for gambling
last year." was asked.
Nobody was arrested in Robbins
for gambling. They are not that kind
here"
"And the churches?"
1--WE have the Methodist and Bap-
tist, several cults Of Holy Rollers and
the Church Of God, and others. that
meet in store rooms and cottages. Ask
me about school? That is our worst
feature. We have only one school in
the village. 1t has halliday sessions
for each child. The directors are fig
uring on a portable school soon.
THE village was incorporated in
1917. 1t has 400 men and women
voters. 1t covers about two square
miles. We need moving picture
theater and other attractions for the
young people. Our women's club is
coming well and is affiliated with the
Chicago Federation of Wmoan's clubs.
There should be less charity and
more responsibility for the Colored
man. He should be made to do his
part. Let him get to the land, let
him have the transportation and hous-
ing and he is going where his own
are.
1T would surprise you to see how
they lift up their heads when they
are taking part in their government
in their own town. We don't discrim-
mate, you understand. Anybody can
come in We are learning what it is
to have community responsibility. We
need new drainage. But some of our
citizens don't want to undertake the
cost. Eventually. they will come to
it."
