has never hoisted the white
feather neither baa it been
disgraced by . the yellow
streak. It Is not afflicted
with the flannel mouth. It
Is a plain every day sen-
sible conservative newspa-
per which trims no sail
to catch the passing breeze;
flies no doubtful flag: It
profeoses a patriotism as
broad as our country. Its
love of even handed justice
covers all the territory oc-
cupied by the human race.
This Is pretty high ground
but we live on It and are
prospering. Boys of the

A graup br Dallua ladles ' beaded
by Mrs. IJzzie Stewart have formed
an association which bus for its ob-
ject the raisins of money for a fund
to be used for keeping the Colored
Cemctiiries of the city in a more
sightly condition
lla aim is worthy and it bespeaks
for Its aul.horS an ambition worthy
of the efforts' now being expended in
Us direction. - '
It is a movement in which the
Dallas Express takes and bus taken
more than passing Interest. Some
time auo we curried a front page
editorial deploring the unsightly con-
dition of our cemeteries and urging
the inception of a movement calcu-
lated to Improve this condition.
The Express at that time took the
position that such a movement should
be City wide and that the funds
should be one contributed too by all
of the citizens in order that It might
be of sufficient magnitude to guaran-
tee the services of the cemetery
sexton throughout the year finance
the building of walks fences roadr
and drivo-ways both of entrance and
exit. K
The Express at that same time
stated further that it stood ready to
foster such a movement and cooper-
ate heartily with its prime movers
in giving It publicity and enlisting
the support of all t'itlzens.
So far -very little attenton has been
paid to the movement. presumably
because it has not been brought to
the attention of the public with Buffl-
cent force.
AVe take this means of again pledg-
ing our support to this movement
if Jaunehod in any way conducive
to 'the success which it deserves.
We say as;ain that such a move-
ment should be calculated to onl'st
tho support of cvi$y Negro citizen
of Dallas for the on kept condition
of its cemeteries reflects upon all of
them.
Some day should be set apart ar.
general Tag Day encouraged by
heads of churches lodges etc. and
a drive made through the wbole town
whu h should net a fund sufficiently
great to allow for satisfactory Im-
provements. We are in hearty sympathy with
the Cemetery Association But we
feel that its authors would do well
to realize that a few women devoted
though they may be should not at-
tempt to carry be burden of 420iK).
Their calculations should take the
form of energy pxpended In inter-
esting pastors and leaders of people
In every capacity to the end that
a concerted movement might result
therefrom.
The Erpress again offers space
in its columns for r-ommet upon or
news of this movement in the hope
that it may be promptly accepted
Hiid continually used till the move-
ment becomes a success.

THANKSGIVING.
We as a group in all probability at this particular time feel
that we have more than ordinary cause for thanksgiving. There
are many general conditions which would tend to give rise to this
feeling of thankfulness for all about us are evidences of individual
and collective advancement along many lines.'
One year ago today we were still giving thanks for the cessa-
tion of the great war and trying in terms of our own rebirth into
a hitherto unknown racial consciousness to forecast our lot for
the future. - 1
Today a part of that then future has become reality and we
are now more fully able to properly evaluate and judge those con-
ditions which were then but shadowy images whose true char-
acter could not be properly determined.
Then we wondered whether or not our own new selves would
prove equal to the task of manfully combatting and finally . con-
quering the problems necessarily incident upon the reconstruction
of American thought in terms of true Democracy and Christian
brotherhood. We wondered whether we were capable of so -welding
ourselves into an efficient operating unit which should fin-
ally by means of its single mindedness prove its value in a
scheme of progress where efficiency is the Btandard by which
parts of the whole scheme are given their places.
We wondered then but we
two reasons above all others. ;
First of all we are truly thankful that we have realized that
within us is the power to help ourselves if we but sufficiently ex-
ercise the spirit of co-operation and mutual help which shall rend-
er us welded indissolubly into a unit of power.
We have demonstrated during the past year an viability seem-
ingly uncanny in the light of our former lack of exercise of this
ability to support our own causes submerge individual preferen-
ces for the cause of racial advancement give to all movements a
more charitable inspection with a view to determining their ca-
pacity for mutual benefit and stand by the belief that right and
justice recognize no middle ground in their application to the exer-
cise of citizenship and its privileges.
During the past year our business projects have increased
both in number and prosperity. We are becoming more and more
imbued with the idea that paupers are powerless and dependent
upon the charity of their neighbors for a mere existence. "
Our desire for a share in choosing our chief executives and of
determining the character of those who should make and admin-
ister the laws by which we are governed caused us in the cam-
paign just closed to show ourselves a unit manfully resisting
elimination and forcing in so far as voting ability could bring it
to pass.arealization of our determination to obtain a just and fair
civic chance. We followed our leaders. We supported and champ-
ioned our own cause.
Instances of co-operative effort along all lines more numer-
ous than ever before are proof positive that we have at last found
ourselves that we are willing to pay the price of being recognized
by all others as inferior in no way in our ability to contribute to
the success of America ; that we are determined that even as we
realize that we are dependent upon and indebted to other Ameri-
cans for help toward our existences so must they realize that they
are dependent also upon us for contributions to the sum total of
benefits now being enjoyed by them and that - .ii- w mutual co-
operation in the spirit of helpfulness may our mutual successes
and well being be perpetuated.
We are more sure of our ability now than ever before and we
are thankful primarily for the greater realization of its presence.
For many years we have been combatting a seemingly in-
creasing wall of prejudice and racial hatred of us among our
neighbors which has tended to lessen our1 contributions to the
sum total of national accomplishment because it has caused man-
ifold limitations to be placed upon our opportunities to pursue
our courses unhampered. '
. The year just passed has not witnessed any lessening of the
prejudice necessarily but it has seemed to mark a decided in-
crease in the number of those of our neighbors who realize that
the s pirit of mutual co-operation if conscientiously followed will
result in increased benefit to all concerned. During the past year
the interracial council movement has gained much headway has
already been productive of much good and bids fair to become an
important factor in producing a more harmonious scheme of exis-
tence for the races in America. " .
The success of such a movement must in its final analysis de-
pend upon the condition of mind of its author's and supporters.
Such a state of mind is aiTived at only as thoughts and acts ' are
made to conform to a progressive scheme of civilization an at-
tempt at an ideal following of the dictates of justice and a regard
for the care of the rights of others.
If we are to judge by the number of interracial meetings of
the past year the acts of individuals in various sections of the
country in upholding the law in spite of public opinion against it
in the case of Negroes the increasing frankness of expressions
of people in authority both North and South and the fairly num-
erous instances of concrete improvement in conditions as they af-
fect the Negro we are forced to feel that the hope of a better
public sentiment in regard to us is not insecurely founded. We are
thankful for such a realization.
As we look back upon the year just past we seem to see this
growth both in our own spirit and in the spirit of those about us.
And in the growth of such a spirit lies the greatest hope now ap-
parent that eventually a better day may be brought into existence
without a disruption of the general scheme of prosperity.
In discussing this phase of America's problem the Philadel-
phia' Public Ledger skillfully analyzes this phase of America's ra-
cial problem when it says:
"Wrongs may be' righted one by one; what fundamentally
matters is that proper social an d industrial conditions behind
acts and thoughts sha 11 be created.
Lynching for example brands the community wherein it oc-
curs as having a low tone of popular ethics a debased public opin-
ion. No country may rightly claim to be wholly civilized until a
sense of fair play is a live and operative force in the settlement of
disputes between race and race between man and man.
The meeting-the other night was that of friends of the Ne-
gro not content with the merely negative part of putting down
lawlessness and keeping the peace by force of arms. Instead of
force it wants to see installed the influence of humaness and of
justice. It considers and will further a rational scheme to secure
legal aid education sanitary housing recreation a reasonable
comfort in travel a better economic condition and an open door
of industrial opportu nity for those who today are excluded from
many of these advantages.. '
A country" is not at peace and its people are not happy till ra-
cial frictions are allayed and racial bigotry is dispossessed ; till
every immigrant nationality has learned to live on terms of law
and order with every other. Europe is distracted today by na-
tions that have never learned to be neighborly by all sorts of sel-
fish and superfluous bo undary disputes; by greed of gain and
internecine foray. -
Here in America too we have had the unedifying and humil-
iating spectacle of white people and the Negroes in certain areas
failing to find the common denominator of their interdependence;
and the results have been tragic. Certain brawling agitators
have risen up to inflame sentiment and incite to controversy.
Foolish books have been written and lamentable plays produced
with a result that has been a blight upon both races. A race has
come ' up from slavery" setting to its credit a truly marvelous
accomplishment in half a century only to find certain doors and
parts inexorably closed for no good reason.. One cannot argue
with blind prejudice and the white man's ignorance of the black
man's soul is worse than any black man's ignorance of books."
We seem to see a growth of the spirit of fair play in our
neighbors. We are conscious of a hitherto unknown power of
achievement in ourselves. For these things primarily we are
truly thankful.
Ninth Ward School under direction of Principal N. W. Harl-
lee has opened the first Thrift Hank among the Colored Schools
of the city. May his example be speedily followed by others. Sav-
ing is habit which should be more widely des ired by us all.
Turkeys have gone slightly out of style as Thanksgiving
meat since II. C. of L. began to hold sway.
It is now claimed that South American countries not Great
I'rilian. will hold the balance of power at the meeting cf the

THE MIRROR OF
A CHEAT PLAT AND
Down in Macodougal Street in
Princetown Players are producing a
of notice from the foremost dramatic
entitled "Tho Emperor Jones.'- The
play is Charles S. Gilpin a Colored
Mr. Gilpin showed himself a finished actor jn "Abraham Lincoln which
ran the whole of last season in this city. He created the role of "CusUs"
when the play was produced' in America. So finished waa his acting that
probably not one person out of a hundred ever knew that the part was
being played by a Colored man. Most people took it for granted that the
actor was a white man darkened up to play the part' and the newspapers
never enlightened the people.
In "The Emperor Jones" no such mistake is possible; Mr.Gilpln plays
without . any wig and with very little "make up." The cities of New ?ork
are proclaiming his performance as one of the best ever seen In this city.
For example Mr. Heywood Broun the dramatic critic on "The Tribune"
In a review a column in length says:
The Emperor is- played by a Negro actor named Charles S. Gilpin
who gives the most thrilling performance we have seen any place this
season. He sustains the succession of scenes in monologue not only be-
cause his voice is one of a gorgeouB natural quality but because be knows
Just what to do with it. All the notes are there and he knows Just what
to do with it. All the notes are there and he has also an extraordinary fa-
cility for being In the right place at the right time. Generally he seems fair-
ly painted into the scenic design. One performance is not enough to entitle
a player to the world great even from a not too careful critic but there
can be no question whatever that in "The Emperor Jones" GUpin is great
It la a performance of heroic stature. It is so good that the fact that It
is enormously skillful seems only Incidental ; '
Mr. Alexander Woolcott the dramatic critic on "The Times"- in a re-
view of equal length says: v ( .
Though this new play of his is so clumisly produced that Its presenta-
tion consists largely of long unventilated intermissions interspersed with
fragmentary scenes it weaves a most potent spell thanks partly tos the
force and cunning of the author thanis partly to the ' admirable playing
of Charles S. Gilpin in a title role so predominant that the play is little
more than a dramatic monologue. ' His is an uncommonly powerful and
imaglnatice performance in several respects unsurpassed this season in
New York. Mr. Gilpin is a Negro.
ir should be remembered that Mr. Woolcott. while he is considered
one of the greatest dramatic critics in the. country is also a Southerner
and does not go into ecstactes over Colored artists simply because they
are Colored. It was he who could see very little1 In the "Negro Players"
who produced the. Rldgley Torrence plays severay years ago. Mr. Woolcott
concluded his review as follows:
"The Princetown Players have squanderoiiBly invested In cushions for
their -celebrated seats and a concrete dome to catch and dissolve their
lights so that even on their little stage they can now" get such illusions
of distance and the wide outdoors as few of their uptown rivals can achieve.
But of Immeasurably greater importance is their present enterprise they
acquired an actor one who has it in him to invoke the pity and the terror
and the undescribable foreboding which are part of the secret of "The
Emperor Jones." . . '
When we heard that Mr. Gilpin was coming out of the cast of "Abra-
ham Lincoln" we regretted it. "The Emperor Jones" however' has given
him the opportunity to Bhbw that he can play" not only a minor part but
sustain an entire play. He is proving himself to be a great actor and
he is also demonstrating to New York public and theatrical managers
those artisitc powers of the Negro which will some day be generally rec-
ognized ' .... New York Age.
; XEGROJ28. SACRIFICE T.IVES TO VOTE.
As a direct result 'if ' their" loyalty and devotion to the Republican
Party six Negroes sacrificed their lives 'during the presidential election
at Orlando Ala. They made the supreme sacrifice of death fighting for
the cause they thought to be right. The mob's torch the lynchers' rope
and the faithless officers played the most .conspicuous part in murdering
these Negroes without due process of law.
According to press report's the trouble started when Negroes attempted
to vote. To insist on voting those Negroes knew it meant nothing less
than death. But they had faith in the party for whom they were voting.
No ..other group of American citizens paid such a price or showed such
loyalty. There are those who have given service there are those who gave
of their means to help the G. O. P. in office but the six American Negroes
who sacrificed their lives for the cause of the Republican Party paid the
highest price for the party's success.
The hearts of the Negroes of America are yearning for a change of
condition. "We are tempted to cry "Oh! Lord how long.'! This was the
cry of our forefathers in this land many years ago. An Abraham Lincoln
was sent The abolition of slavery lifted a curse from this country. An-
other Abraham Lincoln Is needed at this time to strike this present day
curse of America. Lynch law is undermining the very foundation upon
which this government is founded. The time is ripe to strike and strike
hard. Let us hope that the vote that those Negroes sought to cast in the
inerest of the Republican Party o impressed the leaders of that party
that they will rise in the strength of this nation backed by the power of
God strike this damnable practice of lynching and 'stamp it out of this
land. . St. Louis Argus.
1 SECTIONAL
The fatal weakness of the white South is its failure to achieve and
maintain a sane and sensible position on the race question. Many of its
leaders and writers affect to regard the Negro as less than human and ye't
pretend to fear that this race dospised as inferior is capable of overcoming
the weight of numbers and education and domintalng the section.
The South has the knack at times of doing or proposing to d cer-
tain good things for the Negro such as providing better schooling and
sanitation. But even those while friends in the South who advocate Buch
measures of justice have to camouflag the act by the assertion that white
supremacy is to be maintained. This unnecessary and vociferous asser-
tion of the doctrine of white supremacy in season and out of season leads
to the suspicion that it must be based on mighty shaky foundation. Any
race supremacy based on superior attainments 'and achievements would not
need to assert itself so loudly and so frequently. ' . .
The fact Is' that the race supremacy white domain and general obli-
gnrchlcal system of the South are based on rank fraud and moral and
physical intimidation. The suppression of the suffrge by fraud' physical
tntlmidatiou through mob' violence and Ku-Klux methods moral intimidation
through the cry of social equality and other racial bogies are .the bases
of white supremacy and these foul weapons are as quickly weilded against
a white man advocating justice toward the Negroes as against the Negro.
K domination based on such rotten practice must ever be In fear of falling.
. This persistent effort to keep the Negro down has kept the whole
South down. Negro labor has been forced to flee from the farms and
plantations .and the production of corn and cotton has been hampered.
Negro business men have been forced to sacrifice their property and remove
to other sections. In seeking tq crush the Negro and maintain white su-
premacy by force ar-d fraud the South has retarded its economic .develop-
ment. ' . -
Now let the thoughtful white man of the South endeavor to get a true
focus on this race question. Let them see the Negro not as menacing bogy
of social equality but as a valuable factor in the economic development
of their section. Let them try methods of law and order justice and fair
dealing and the bogies of social equality and Negro domination Will be
laid to rest
When the. South becomes strong enough to practice a square deal to
all races within its borders; then and only then will It be able to free it-
self from Us ono fatal weakness.
Atlanta recently opened what was termed its first Colored Child's Wel-
fare Clinic. About twenty healthy babies were present and were examined.
This Is a good movement for the lowering of the death rate among infants
only It would be more to tho purpose If tho mothers of the babies that
were not so healthy would bring them for treatment But perhaps all the
Colored babies In Atlanta are thriving. We hope so. New .York Age.

PICTCHK8 ON THE WAliL.
We are fast accumulating; homes
simple htfmes and a few of eome
elaborateness. In these homes good
furniture la the rule. One furniture
dealer ay that he hai no trouble
in aelllng us the very bent furniture
and that we always pay for it. Since
we have good furniture It la fitting
that we pay more attention to Inter-
ior decoration. aa paper-hanging
lmple onaments .and grind pictures.
We have been the victims of the
picture-men. They work our sections
and get all the itwmbers of our fam-
ilies to enlargen. The work Is often
done poorly and to make bad mat-
ters worse the framing is loud and
gaudy. There are Instances when we
might endulge in enlargened pictures
but let us pay some attention to the
the proper framing. The gold
frames are more adapted to the fair-
haired and the blue-eyed types
when our faces are bronie or high-
brown let . us select frames of the
durker woods which will harmonize
with the portrait blending -smoothly
and without shock.
In dome homes the walls are la-
terally covered with posters of fair
faces. Let us abstain from hanKlng
any faces save of our own people
on our walls unless It be the like-
ness of some friend of our people
who has rendered us a notable ser-
vice. Our magazines now abound In
good prints of pleu?ing faces a few
of these even put In cheap frames
make splendid pictures. Let us be-
srin to make a study of classic Pic-
.turoH and put aome money in a few
good. ones. There are lots or clas-
sic pictures. In scenery flowers or
of animals thut might well grace
our homes. Let us discard faces as
much as we can we may except the
"Madonna" by some standard paint-
er. biTiiu.io the Madonna is a repre-
sentation of Mother and the yoly
I'nild. Our reunion teuuhes that the
Holy child came in the Jewish race
not-withstanding most Madonnas are
of Italian faces. In this we are ' sim-
ply expressing our religious idealism.
Let us take some thought of good
grouping of the pictures on the wall.
Use the proper wiring and brackets
not Just any old string and nail. Then
above all keep them hung straight
and clean. I know one home where
every picture is hanging croocked
and has been for seasons. Most of
us hang up all of our friends and
relatives. These may find a place in
the bed-room but never in the living
room nor dining room. Let us rather
have cases for the photographs and
keen '.hem on the tables or In the
cabinet.
There Is one home that I have
visited which has the good fortune i
to display a number of oil paintings
and they are truly beautiful to be-1
noia. une oil painting is out or the
reach of most of us but good prints
make excellent pictures. Our chil-
dren may be inspired by beholding
good pictures and may develop tastes
which will encourage their artistic
Instincts and produce great artists. '

November" the letter reads. "We
have in mind about 300 men In New
York city whom we expect to honor
by bringing into the initial organi-
zation in New York city."
According to the writer letters
have been received by him from
Maine Illinois Missouri and Califor-
nia requesting ' that organizers be
sent to begin work there. Men of
Southern origin only are to be con-
sidered as eligible for membership
in the "K. K. K.
The necessary Interrogations for
membership are numerous including
queries as to age birthplace educa-
