standing the fact that the weather

Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va.
Rev. Hicks was at his best and
prayed, preached and sang, as only
Hicks could do. He stamped an i'm
preston upon the hearts OF the Jco-
pie that shall always be remembered
and cherished. There was an addi-
ton Of approximately Is to our
Church. The Church was cleaned of
backsliders. Many made open con-
fessions of their sins and returned to
God.
The spiritual tide was exceedingly
high and the financial interest was
far above the expectations. Dr.
Hicks proved to be one of tho fore
most gospel preachers and revayaltsts
in this State. The good people here
spared no pains in providing for his
comfort in every way possible.
While here he was entertained in

PRICE. FIVE CENTS
Many Great Dailics Change Policy in
Dealing With Colored People.
(By the Associated Negro prcs,.)

Chicago, Ill. April--Scorcs and
scores OF the great daily newspapers
or the country have turned fright
ABOUT face it appears, from the man
ner Ill which they are treating news
affecting colorcd people, both in news
and editorial comment.
1T is we'll known fact that thc
majority of the leading papers CAPT
tai1ze Negro when they are using
the term, and also, "Colored" when
1t is referring to our people. They
have, also practically discontinued
the use of dialect in quoting Negroes,
ana have given more space in telling
OF the better side Of tho people in the
last year than was ever before used.
This change of policy has not come
about by mere happen so, but has
been tho result Of a continued war
fare against discrimination and in
Justice by tho Race press, organfza-
t1ons and leading individuals.
There are number of newspapers
such rs the Boston Transcript, the
New York Evening Post, Springfield,
(Mass) Republican and few others
that have always been known TO deal
fairly and squarcly with all subjects
affecting tho Negro. Some were in.
clined to call them fanatical but the
present condition of affairs merely
proves that they were extending moth
ing more than simple American jus
tice.
The manner In which the ncws-
papers OF all sections of the country
have dealt with the news and en-
couragcd the welcoming OF the return
cd colored soldiers from France has
become one Of tho bright spots in
American history.
The present condition Of social un
| rest throughout the world has
brought clearer and more forcih;y
to the attention to the thoughtful
Americans, that the most dependable
aud most loyal group OF Americans
| is those OF darker hue.
This changed policy is 4 having n
wonderful effect on the respective
communities and the thoughts OF the
country Mt large according to tho
| best information that can be obtained
by careful investigation of the
| Associated Negro Press. It seems to
| he the beginning of q new era in
the life Of the Race ana of the na
| ton.

anccs of Japan's leaders have rccciv
cd hearty "Amcn from colored PEG
pie in every section OF the country
for the fact is very evident that real

refusing to give the Japanese a
square deal. Japan is IN position to
talk plainly and frankly and para
phasing a statement Of President Viii
son has declared: 1--WE are not too
proud to fight" Japan is demanding
a show down and it is believed that
the folly of worldwide color preJu--

the subject is finally settled. From
every section Of the country reports
are coming in to the effect that the
100000 colorcd people of America
are watching the developments with

Anthony, d. D., white Secretary OF
the National Home Missions Council
in an address before a great thrOng
here at a meeting OF the Inter-Church
World Movement declared: "rhc war
caused the migration of 100000 Ne
groes from the South to the North.
The return Of the troops is throwing
a great many of these men out Of
jobs. tt is a double Problem. 1t has
created a scarcity OF labor in the
South and a surplus of labor in some
places in the North. There is an ap
paling situation in some Of our cities
Negroes there are living in accommo
dations not fit for swine. They are
charged twenty dollars a month for
a sty in which to house themselves
More than that, they are ostraciz-
cd by their own race. The Negro from
the South is a cOuntryman. The
Northern Negro is an arstocrat who
looks down upon his southern BROTH
err. This problem is especially acute
in Detroit, Baltimore, New York and
other cities.

Richmond, va April A number
OF wealthy white women have formed
an organization and state as the OBJ
icct, the securing Of colorcd girls as
domcstics. They claim that since the
beginning Of the war, cOlorcd girls

that they should be permitted to re
tain their present advantages and
have the right to choose for Them
selves as others where they shall
work.
