Majority Of Negroes Of Mis-
souri, Live In Cities.
(By A. N. P.)

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan 27..-Most
of the Negro population of Missouri
lives in the congested areas of the
cities, while only a small proportion
can properly be classed as rural pop
ultation, the Negro Industrial Com
mission said in a report hat will be
made to the next General Assembly
The commission said 1t hoped to solve
the problem of drawing the Negro
from the city to the rural district, to
engage in land production.
The agents have made a. survey of
the Negroes condition, educationally,
economically and industrlally, and has
investigated his housing, health, and
moral condition. Our Investigators
have found some conditions which
cause grave concern" the report seid
For instance, it was discovered that
out of 900 Negroes in Missouri,
only $4,000 live in hamlets ans on
farms. These figures reveal startling
situations that 10 per cent of the
Colored population of the state is in
the congested areas of the cities while
only 80 per cent can properly be
classes as rural population.
'"The Negro under such environment
brings little from the soil, while he
is one of the largest consumers pro-
portionately in the population. How
to enable him to throw some of his
strength into land productions as well
as to better turn products of the soil
into shape for human consumption is
one of Missouris most vital problems
and one which the commission hopes
to solve.

So far FORGET the Southern tradition
that he will appoint Negroes to first

Why. no one has been able to answer

Producer Says Race Pictures
Have Great Future Ahead.
(By A. N. P.)

Chicago, Jan. 27.-'Moving pictures
have become one of the greatest W.T.
alizing forces in race adjustment and
we are just beginning"
Thus spoke Oscar Micheaux, the
leading and most successful producer
of the Race for the Associated Negro
Press. Mr.. MichaeuX spent a few days
in Chicago at the western opening of
his latest and most pretentious pic
ture. The Symbol of the Unconquered."
This production demonstrates beyond
question what the producer meant in
his statement, and proves that there
has been an arrival not only in the
producing Field, but in the wide and
necessary field of sentiment making,
and better understanding between
the races.
The story of the picture is a stirring
tale of love and adventure in the
great unsheltered and open northwest,
but through 1t all are impressive les
sons on the folly of color, both with
in and without the race.
There Is one thing aside from the
story interesting, that is strive to
de- demonstrate in all my pictures" said
no difference what may be a persons
color. or from where a person comes.
II the heart is right that's what
counts, ana success is sure,
THE symbol of The Unconquered''
takes a sigr ificant thrust at the
'more than 100000" people in Ameri-
ca who with American blood in their
veins are passing for white"
One of the most thrilling and real
istic scenes is that of the Ku Klux
Klaners, who ride forth "on the
stroke of twelve" to pursue their
orgy of destruction and terror. Com
ing at this time when there is an at
tempt to revive this post-civil War
force of ignominy and barbarism, de-
nounced by the leading people of
both races, in speech and editorials,
North and South, the effect of dis
gcest and determination are heighten-
ed
Mr. Micheaux announce that his
productions are now being shown in
all of the leading countries OF Europe,
including England, France. Italy,
Spain. and in Amgrica and the lead
ing South American Republics Ar
rangements have practically been con-
cluded to make at least one product
ion month, in which scores of the
leading performers of the country are
to be used.

answer to Federal charges of "as-
sault and battery upon the person of
United States mail carrier"
All of the accused are students of
the Payne Institute. 1t was stated be-
fore the Commissioner that because he
refused to remove his hat while in

an eighteen-year-o white boy, and a
Augusta postoffice, was assaulted by
eleven pupils of the school, ranging
in age from sixteen to nineteen years.
1t is said Wilhelm was struck in the
face, and his hat knocked off and
that the letters he was carrying were
scattered about the floor.
The details of the alleged assault
are as follows: Upon his first round
to deliver letter to an addressee at
the Institute, the white boy entered
the hall and delivered the letter. AS
he was about to make his exit, q stu
dent approached Wilhelm and said:
Take your hat off, boy" Wilhelm did
not remove his hat Others went to
aid of their fellow student and began
battering the carrier, whose letters
dropped to the floor A woman is said
to have picked them up.

Residents Of Washington Plan
to Entertain Host Of Visitors.
lBy A. N. P.l

Washington, Jan. 27-The An
nouncelncnt that Senator Harding has
called off inaugural festivities seems
to have had little or no effect upon
the gathering of notable Colored men
and women in Washington for the
Inauguration. Already the White-law
Hotel and other places of accommo-
dation have reserved practically all of
their lodging space and the residents
of Washington are being flooded with
requests from out of town friends
who plan to be present.
The Colored residents Of Washington
whose praises have been sung for the
hospitable treatment accorded the
great throng Of visitors here Thanks
giving Day to attend the Howard
Lincoln Football Classic are again
called upon to fete their many friend
to attend the inauguration.
From all indications the largest
number of Colored men and women In
to politics and because of the larger
part which Negroes are playing in the
political affairs Of the Nation.
Regardless of the thought that some
would seek to spread that the Re-
publican, landslide. was due to other
causes than the Negro vote. 1t is an
acknowledged fact that without the
solid support of the Negro vote many
Important States would have been lost
ny the Republican Party. The Negroes
OF the country are not overlooking
this important point in holding the
Republican Party to its promise of
larger recognition and beneficial leg-
lslation for the Negro in America.
