PRESENT SESSION
OF CONGRESS Will
DECIDE The ISSUE
ASSOCIATED Negro Pressl

Washington, D. c., Dec. 8. = Con-
gress has taken on new breath. It
has started on the last lap of the race
prior to the congressional elections of
1922. President Harding has deliver
ed another message, and the way is
being cleared to do some constructive
work before the day of reckoning.
1t must be cosfessed that congress,
thus far, has done little or nothing
of constructive nature, to endear
itself directly to Colored citizens. Now
and then there has been a. flash of
effort that has given a ray of hope to
the people, hut it has given way to
smoke screen of frowns, that indi-
Gated to the people most interested
that, there is nothing doing.
Consequently, the people are look.
ing out on the landscape of congress-
ional action with a degree of skeptic-
ism born of continued disappointment.
From all the authoritative sources
in legislative circles on the house side,
the people are led to believe that
among the first measures to be con-
sidered in the new and regular ses-
sion of congress will be the Dyer anti
lynching bill. 1t has been consider
ed and reconsidered by the various
committees of the house, passed on
and okeyed by the department of
justice, and has strong administration
backing. Popular sentiment of all
law abiding citizens favors such a
bill. If under these circumstances,
congress fails to pass the anti-lynch-
ing bill, then there will be good rea-
son to doubt the sincerity of purpose
of the party in power, much more
reason than at present, and there has
been much reason thus far, according
to statistics of sins of omission and
commission gathered by the experts
on political accomplishment.

POPULATION IS ON

(Associated Negro Press)

N@H't'SN ~N'esAC tN'-J
Jefferson City, Mo-, Dec 7.-Twen-
ty-five counties mostly in the ertreme
southern end of the state have few
or practically no Negroes. Ninety of
the ia counties have lost heavily in
the past decade, of their Negro popu-
lation. This is a serious economic
problem because the majority of
Negroes are drifting to the larger cit
les where they do not fare so well.
Pemiscot county has made the larg-
est gain of any of the counties due to
the large influx of Negroes from
Arkansas and neighboring states. In
1910 the Negro population was 7S per
cent of the total population of Penn
iscot county The Negro population
comprises now 14.5 per cent of the
total population making a gain of
about per cent.
The Negroes along the Missouri
river and north of it seem to be the
most prosperous and contented. Most
Of them follow agricultural pursuits.
The great problem of the rural dis
trict now, according to Robert S. Cobb,
secretary State Negro Industrial Com.
mission, is the lack of proper recrea-
tional facilities. Our young people
need to learn to use their spare time
in wholesome and we'll directed amuse-
ment. This problem is exclusive of
the lack of proper school facilities,
which is an even greater question
The Negroes of this state have two
farm workers. one lady and one gen.
tleman government agent, who are
doing a great work toward establish
ing thrift. garden and other profitable
clubs. tt will take some time before
more of these workers can he added
but each member of the State Indus
trial Commission is using his spare
time in organizing Rural Community
Clubs. The Negroes of Charlton
county, under the direction or Com
mission n. C. Bruce, are planning a
farm conference for December at
which time Dr. Motion of Tuskegee
and other authorities on rural prob
lens will be present.
There must be an extraordinary ef-
fort put forth Immediately to hold
the Missouri Negro in the rural dis
trict where he is most needed and
where he eventually fares the best
from the standpoint Of health and fl
nancial independence. Another great
advantage of the Negroes living in

YUKON PIONEERS ELECT. OFFICERS; CHARTER GRANTED TO NEW ORDER;
 IADIES OF THE GOLDEN NORTH"

held by handful of pioneer women, a permanent order was organized on March 6, 1919. The new order was named 'The Ladies of the Golden North" and organized with eighteen members, the charter roll, with thir- tytwo names, being closed in sixty days. Mrs. Anna E. Snow, as the crossed the Chilcoot pass early in 1894, was given the honor of being elected the first president, and at the end of the year was reelected. The order grew and prospered. By their own efforts the ladies of Seattle lodge have purchased all necessary paraph hernalia, having an emblem designed by Mrs. May Stitt, an art ist and treasure of the lodge. Mrs. Stitt is a pioneer of the Atlin coun- try. She, with her husband, were passengers on the first train that ever crossed the White Pass. The ritual of the order is entirely origi- nal and typical of the Northland.
 The order Is not exclusively for pioneer women, as any woman of good moral character who is or has been a bona tide resident of Yukon or Alaska is eligible to membership. The date of arrival in the Northland Is written in the application form and these are kept on' file. The women have made good and even those who opposed their organization have withdrawn their objections They have found that the order is really an auxiliary in the true sense of the word, and has given invalu- able assistance to the Y. o. o. P. in Seattle, by helping to, increase their membership, and working har- moniously with them in their social affairs
