.LAMATlON STRESSING IMPOR-
TANCE Or ENFORCING LAW.
SETS APART WEEK FOR STUDY OF
GOVERNMENT PRINCIPLES.

Nashville, Nov 2O.-In response to
a request coming as a resolution pass
ed at a meeting of representative
citizens from a number Of points in
the state held here recently in the
interest of Law and Order, Governor
Roberts has issued the following
proclamation:
To The People of Tennessee:
In compliance with a request by
resolution of largely attended con-
vention of representative citizens
from all parts of the state recently
held in the capitol at Nashville that
a proclamation be issued setting a
part Law and Order week in Ten
nessee, I hereby designate the week
of November 9-15, 1919. as a time
for the study of the principles under
lying our government, for the instruc-
tion of the youth in these principles,
for the organization Of societies hav-
ing for their object the maintenance
of law and order and the punishment
and suppression of crime.
Let me suggest that on Sunday.
November 8, every minister of the
Gospel in the state preach a sermon
on Law and Order; that during the
week named every public and private
school set apart one day for law
and order program; that the Cham
bers Of Commerce and other pa
triotic organizations hold public
meetings in their respective cities and
towns for the purpose of calling at
tention to the dangers of the hour,
and arousing a healthy sentiment in
support of state, county and NUM-
cipal officers charged with the en-
forcement of law.
We are passing through a crisis
in our history as a nation. Perhaps
never before has America faced
greater perils and dangers, and never
has it been so all important that good
citizens stand Loyalty and whole
heartedly by constituted authority, for
the law.
the lawlessness in all its forms must be
suppressed and punished and the law
must be vindicated and upheld.
: whether lawless men act singly or
In concert in their onslaughts upon the
constitutional >rights of the people
they must be dealt with by public
officials and private citizens as viola
tors of law. The government must
itself be just in its dealings with
every citizen and must guarantee to
all alike the protection of its laws;
and upon the other hand every loyal
citizen must give to his government
his full and hearty support in all
its efforts to discharge the proper
functions of government.
The Institutions builded by >the
fathers of the public in such great
labor and unspeakable sacrifice, and
and maintained throughout the ma
tion's history on fields of battle. at
home and abroad, with, signal valor
and heroism, must be preserved in
their purity and integrity, howsoever
great. the cost may be.
In testimony whereof L have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State of Tennes-
see to be affixed at the Capitol at
Nashville, on October 18th, 1919.
A. H. ROBERTS, Governor.
VIM. B. STERNS, Secretary of
State.

section against section. or sect
against sect. Guard against this as
you would against pestilence; the
Nation has no greater enemy than
one who would thus divide the coun-
try against itself. While you are in
turmoil our late enemies are mar
shaling with dispatch all of their
industrial resources. Let not our
great accomplishments in war be
marred by our inability to order our
own affairs. Mere agitation and mere
motion are not progress. The vicious
circle is not the shortest distance
between honest, effort and highest
reward. Remember that one man is
only better than another when he
does better. Give every well-behav-
ed man his equality of opportunity,
and require FROM him his full meas
ure of accountability. Live and let
live is not enough-we must live
and help 1ive-and as YOU live and
help find always EXACT JUSTICE
AND ENFORCE 1T.

NEGRO GREEK LETTER
FRATERNITY TO MEET
MANY UNIVERSITIES 70 Be
REPRESENTED.
ASSOCIATED Negro Press).


Chicago, Nov. 2O.-The Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity, the first and larg-
est Greek Letter Fraternity among
Negro College men, will hold it's 18th
annual convention in Chicago, Dec.
.27th-31st, at the seat of Theta Chapt-
er. The General officers are leaving
no stones unturned to make this,
the Reconstruction Convention, sur
pass all others; and already they
can safely say that the delegation
this year will be larger than ever
before. This year will mark the re-
turn of a large number of men who
have been in service over seas, and
in addition many older men who saw
the organization in its early struggle
back in '06, and who are now out
in life will return to greet their bro
ther Hellenites in this annual con-
clave. 1t is also certain that the
various chapters will have full quotas
of delegates Notwithstanding their
locations.
With chapters stretching from Sig
ma at classic Harvard to Upsilon at
free "U" and from Mu Of the Gopher
State University to Delta Lambda
in athenic Atlanta, with all eyes and
steps turning toward the Windy
City," during, the holiday season,
nothing less than the greatest as
sembly of trained men among our
people can be predicted.
Starting with one chapter at Cor
nell University in 1906. the frater-
nifty has become international in
scope. In contradiction and defiance
Of much public opinion that frater-
mites are school-day revelries for
good time" this organization has
stood for organized activity and CO
operative influence of socially liked
minded persons in the service of their
fellowman. Address all communica-
tions to Y. M. C. A, 3Sth and Wa
bash, Mr.. F. T. Lane.

Negroes standing on the corner.
The Negroes were standing talk
ing,, when the car passed, driving
fast, and as the car drew even with
them, the men, or at least one man
in the car shot four times into the.
group. one bullet striking the cuff
of the trousers leg of one Of the
Negroes.
This action might have been ac-
companied by serious consequence in
view Of the fact that a recent pc
riod of tension has just passed. A
remark made by t Negro preacher
in Anderson led to considerable feel
ing between the faces, and 1t was on
the advice of a committee of our
own people that he resigned as pas
tor of the church here and left for
other parts. This resignation and
leaving the city. alleviated the trouble
between the races seemed averted.

HOME BARRED TO NEGRO CON-
VICT, HE RETURNS TO PRISON.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 13.-Pris-
on authorities were very much. sur
prised today to receive a telephone
message from william Roberts,, a
Kansas City Negro convict who es-
capped from a prison road camp in
Boone County three weeks ago, stat
ing that he was in town and desired
to return to the Penitentiary.
Where are your? asked Deputy
Warren Steward The Negro said
he was in town. well, come on, out
to the Penitentiary," said Stewart.
Presently the Negro showed up. Ask
ed why he had returned TO the pris-
on, he said his wife and mother told
him that they could not allow him
about the home premises until he
had served his full time, and adj
vised him to come back Immediately
and surrender. The Negro had near
ly completed a short sentence FOR
larceny. He beat his way to Kansas
City. and after the cool reception
by his wife and mother, beat his way
back here.

NEGRO JUVENILE WINS
FREEDOM With WON
DERFUl VOICE
WAIF CHARMS COURT ROOM WITH
NATURES GREATEST GIFT TO
RACE.

Dallas, Texas, Nov. Sitting
huddled in a chair in Juvenile Court
yesterday morning there was nothin-
ing of apparent greatness about him
unless it was his feet. Incased in a
pair of worn-out mems shoes, it was
hard to tell just how much shoe
leather was superfluous. The rest
of him was an assemblage of dimi-
nutive yellow Negro, clothed in gar
ments much the worse for wear.
He was arraigned on a charge of
having stolen bicycle, He was up
for trial and perhaps would be sent
to the State Industrial School.
Judge. you ought to hear that boy
sing" suggested an officer who had
conducted him from the Jail where
he has been kept the last week.
Judge R. B. Seay, presiding as Ju-
venile Judge in the absence of Coun-
ty Judge Cecil l.. Simpson was mind
ed to give him a trial.
Without a trace of embarrassment
at the presence Of officials and spec
tators, the boy closed his eyes, threw
back his head and broke into the
melodies Groom of Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot" For gotten were the worn
shoes and ragged shirt of the little
singer as his voice filled the court
room, now ringing with a clear tenor
on the high notes or sinking to a
barely audible Groom. Listeners held
their breath for a moment after he
had finished and then wed with each
other in praise.
THAT bay has 100000 voice y
Judge Seay declared. ''He shall be
educated and trained as a singer. /
am going personally, to see that he
is placed where he can have proper
advantages. With that voice he will
be power among his race
AS step toward interesting others
in his find" Judge Seav will bring
the boy to his Sunday school at the
City Temple this morning and have
him sing some of the Negro gospel
melodies he sang for the court. Mean
while he is to be placed, under the
care of the Negro Y. NJ. c. A.,
Apparently from what he related.
the boy like Topsy, "just grew to
his present age of II years. He knows
of his relatives and has pick
ed up his living, as he could, some
times travelling around the country
and singing for smalls shows.
