NEGROES GONE TO STAY

CBy the Associated Negro Press)
Atlanta. Ga. May 9.-Daily news
papers in every section of the South
continue to carry reports that the
Colored people who migrated North
during the last two years, are only
too glad to return South, and all of
them have returned.
A thorough Investigation of this
section discloses the fact that these
people not only have failed to return,
but thousands are leaving every
month for the North. Where they
are going, it is difficult to say but
they have not taken kindly to many
suggestions made relative to recon.
structive plans.
AS proof that the people have not
returned, there is demand for labor
here. and in other sections of the
South almost equal to that during the
War, and yet the places cannot be fill
ed.
One of our prominent business men
said today: "e have made some lit
tie head way along some lines, in
getting better opportunities, but the
South has long way to go. before it
becomes the paradise some of the peo.
pie would picture it,.

Durig those weary months the Edi-
tor of The Crisis was preaching COM
plete surrender. Forget your griev-
ances and look to the hills" was his
slogan, and as the war went on, and
you were busy day and night trying
to tighten the burden of our suffering
soldiers. DR.. Dubois, instead of giving
you support in The Crisis, was using
the editorial columns with Christmas
stories. and steve, and, worst Of
all, he said that we who were asking
America to treat the black soldier as
a soldier so as to improve his morale
were "forsaking their sons in the
blood and dust of battle"
No, Mr. Scott, you have been with
the Negro, and Dr. Dubois from June
(the month of the Captaincy episode)
to April was silent upon our burning
wrongs, and it i'll becomes him to
print in his first militant issue in a
year an attack upon a man who
fought when he was silent.

1.-THE LIMIT"
BY Chas. p. Wilson
Jefferson City, Mo.

The preacher mounts unto his place
and bids us all be brothers;
The Socialist declares what's mine is
also one anothers;
The editors throuhgout the land preach
of the doctrine cheer;
cannot view a dying cat without a
trace of fear.
The optimist demands the laugh when
we would rather cry,
And hopes a song is on our lips when
we decide to die;
I've heard uqite oft that worry is a
fatal mind disease,
And that tears are more disgusting
than fairly hearty sneeze.
They tell us we must grin whene'er
the tax assessor comes.
And to celebrate a sorrow with a
hammering of drums;
That trouble should be laughed to
scorn and weary cares forsook,
BY reading something funny from an
entertaining DOOk.
There's trouble upon my mind today,
there's anger in my breast;
The wearied worm has turned at last
and patience was impressed
An optimist approached me when my
troubles reached mile,
And in a calm, sardonic voice entreat-
ed me to smile"
So I suppose when I'm arranged and
looking rather fearful
The court will crack little joke. sug-
gesting l be cheerful.
AS sure as am writing thus, without
a single grudge,
If such thing should happen. then By
Heck, he'd be a mean old Judge

e REED AT LODE'S THEATRE THlS I
DR.. BUNDY IN PENITENTIARY

It will doubtless be a shock to your
readers to know that DR.. Bundy has
been sent to the state penitentiary at
Chester ILL.,, and that since last Fri
day he has been wearing the stripes.
It was understood that his attorney
was to be notified before he was re-
moved, but it seems that the same in
justice which has characterized the
entire trial obtained in this instance.
This menace to the liberty, and in
suit to the manhood of every Negro
in Illinois ought to unite the men of
the state in grim determination to
fight this case to the last ditch, as
protest against the injustice OF the
whole trial.
A meeting in the interest of DR..
Bundy's case will be held in the Unity
Club House, 314O Indiana avenue,
next Monday night, May 3. 1t is
earnestly hoped that every minister,
politician. club woman and citizen in
Chicago will make it a business to be
present to devise ways and means
to help the situation. A meeting was
held last Monday night at the same
place. Mr.. w. c. Houston of Kansas
City. Mo-. made most eloquent ad'
dress. He had remained over in Chi
cago for week for the purpose of
reporting to Chicago citizens the de-
tails Of DR.. Bundy's trial in Waterloo.
He says that for every dollar Chicago
raises to carry DIR. Bundys case to
the Supreme Court, Kansas City, Mo-,
will match it. This is an Illinois
man. and the outrages were perpe-
trated against citizens of Illinois. We
ought not to let men from other states
be more interested in safeguarding the
liberties of Illinois citizens than we
are ourselves.
This letter is an appeal to every
reader to bestir himself in his own
behalf. Come out to the meeting next
Monday night to hear what you can
do to help the situation.-Chicaso

ister, the work of the church took on new life, the s1,o00 debt was paid, and the church consecrated. in May 1s15. Later in the same month Mir. Bloy was ordained to the deaconate.
 The growing congregation and Sun day school made necessary some kind of a hall. and in 191s plans were pre- pared and the Guild hall erected. Most of the cost was donated by the mem bers of the Swift family of Mesa mem bers of the congregation, in memory Of their parents, MT. and Mrs. Robert Swift. The Guild hall has not only been an asset to the church, but it has been a real social center for the community It has been the meeting place of the Mesa Woman's club since it's inception, and is always available for meetings of the young people. such as high school class meetings and other events. A problem now is the enlargement of the hall, to care for the needs of a growing congregation and community.
 Early in 1918 the congregation erect ed a rectory at cost of s4,O0O. The last indebtedness has been paid off and the church is now recognized as self supporting parish.
 The Womans Guild has done work for the church of the highest order, having been the backbone of the or ganization from the beginning. The church is looking forward to a full win ters work both along spiritual and social lines.

 Having this fact in mind, the F. r.

The firm now is constructing a fifty foot struc- .ure adjoining it's present lumber yard, and is ready to build for any other responsible tenant or tenants on the other lots. The lumber yard office will be moved further east, and the stock carried up town, for the greater part will be taken to the other yard of the company, located near the rail- road track and the space now occupied by the uptown yard will also be put into a handsome business block. Not all of this will be undertaken this win ter. but it all is included in the per manent plans of this enterprising firm for the future upbuilding of the town where it has done business for the past 2S years

HIGH PR|EST QUORUM
 IS IMPORTANT BODY
By D. P. Jones, President High Priests
 Quorum,

The highest order of the priesthood in the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat ter Day Saints is that of the high priest. The first presidency of the church of high priests, as are also the apostles, presidents of stakes and counselors, members of the high eoun- cil, patriarchs bishops of wards and their counsel1ors, and besides these there are many thousands of high priests in the various stakes of Zion.
 The quorum of high priests is the only order of the priesthood that IS not limited in numbers That is to say, the deason's quorum is composed of 12 members; the teachers 24 mem bers; the priests forty eight mem bers; the elders ninety y-six; the sev- enty's quorum, as implied by it's name, has seventy members in each of it's quorums. Each stake has a quorum of high priests, differing in number as the stakes differ in population. but in no stakes are they prescribed as to number.
 The duties of high priest are very important, inasmuch as many of the highest official positions in the church are held by men holding this order of the priesthood This is true of the general church organization, the stakes and the wards.
 A word as to the many thousands of high priests who have no special calling as outlined above. Each stake has it's organization of this order, presided over by a president and two counsellors. There is also a secretary. The quorum organization is for the purpose of self culture. discipline and such other spiritual development as shall prepare them in every way for the authority of their calling. As it is from this body that presiding of ficers are largely selected, prepara- tions for such duty is the watchword of the organization. A high priest has the authority to act in an, of the grades of priesthood lesser than that of his own, but this can only be done when he has been specially chosen and set apart for that particular work Thus there is never any friction or usurpation of power.
 The presiding officers of the Mari copa stake quorum of high priests are: D. P. Jones, president; M. c. Phelps first counsellor; Chas. Lillywhite, sec ond counsellor; M. A. Stewart sec retary.
