"AU REVOIR JAZZBOSS"
It seems that the colored jazz ar
tists who have become so popular in
Paris will soon have to leave for
home. A recent dispatch from Paris
says: A regiment of colored jazz
artists from the U\ S. A. have musi
cal Paris in the hollow of their hands.
Any jazz band can anchor at a
French cafe and put the S. R. O.
sign in front before the end of thesubmission
week. It's a gift. The terrible con
sequences, from the French point of
view, is that jazzbos scoop up all
the money in sight, while honor grad
uates from -the French academies
can't get a look-in on restaurant jobs.
The Frenchman for all his tem-disrespect.
^erment, his shrugging of shoulders
and talking with tflie hands, can't
grab off the knack of making a saxo
phone whine or causing a snare drum
to syncopate. Parisians dance to
rag music with abandon but the tal
ent to create it must be imported.
The result is that native borns curl
up and starve, while the colored men
gather big money.
For the protection of the French
artists a law was recently passed that
on and after October 1, no orchestra
may contain more than 10 per cent
foreigners. That means "au revoir"
to American jazz and the return of
symphonic dance music to Paris. I
ntay also mean thumbs down for
many cafes that have rolled up huge
dividends on the strength of jazz.
AMERICAN UNITY LEAGUE FIGHTS
K. K. K.
The American Unity League has
opened its heavy guns on the Ku
Klux Klan.
Appeals were sent to 1,000 Pro
testant ministers and Jewish rabbis,
caling on them to support the league
in its campaign against the Klan and
its policies which, it is asserted,
would plunge America into the. "hat
reds, bigotries and strifes that have
kept the rest of the world in turmoil,
war and poverty.,

Williamstown, Mass.Speaking be
fore the Institute of Politics at Wil
liams College, Dr. Manuel de Ohve
ira Lima, of Brazil, said that inter
marriage between the colored and
white races is frequent in his coun
try and that as a result there are
"no discontented races to be found
in Brazil, as you certainly have in
this country."
"There exists prejudice, especially
among distinguished families against
miscegenation," he said, but this is
freely practiced among the people in
general, wi^. the result there "is no
face question in Brazil, conflicts or
even controversies over the matter
being so to say, unknown, but that
Negroes are rapidly disappearing
into the white race.
"A source of antipathy is conse
quently set aside, which would cor
to an irritation feature of
the social question and no discon
tented races are to be found in
Brazil, as you certainly have in
this country. This condition repre
sents an advantage for national life
and is one of the reasons for the
happiness that Brazil suggests, al
though things are not perfect and
nopassage
serious reason exists for claiming
that Americus Vesnucius was accu
rate when he located down there the
earthly paradise."
"Since pure races" are, according
to ethnologists, a historical error
and consequently Godineau, the apol
ogist of the white race (or more ac
curately of the Teutonic race"), may
be taken as a philosopher given to
whimsical speculationwe have to
admit jthat the Hispanic-American,
or more precisely, the Brazilian sol
of the racial oroblem,' of thewould
race at least/ is certainly
wiser, more promising and above all
more humane than any solution which
operates through separation or seg
regation.
Washington, D. Aug. 25.Or-
ganization of an international coun
cil of women of the dark races was
effected at an all-day meeting here of
representatives from Africa, Haiti,
Indies, Ceylon and a number of
national organizations in the United
States. The council has as Its object
economic, social and political wel
fare of the women of all the dark
races.
Need for such an' organization as
established was emphasized by the
representatives who declared that the
many handicaps, barriers and embar
rassments from which the women of
these races suffer because of color
prejudice can and must be overcome
by a powerful machine working in
tensively along definite lines.
The following officers were elected:
Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuske
gee, Ala., president Mrs. Addie W.
Hunton, New York, first vice presi
dent: Mrs. Mary Church Terrell,
Washington, D. second vice presi
dent Mrs. John Hope, Atlanta, Ga.,
third vice president Mrs. A. Casely

president Miss Elizabeth C. Carter*
Massachusetts, secretary Mrs. MaAnti-Lynching
rion Wilkerson, South Carolina,
treasurer: Miss Nannie H. Bur
roughs, Washington, D. chairman
executive board.
Communications were read from a
number of women from foreign coun
tries, who were unable to be present,
pledging their heartiest co-operation
in the new movement.
The first annual meeting will be
in Sweden in 1923.
At the International conference "of S*
the Grand Masters, Past Grand! Mas

on August 8, passed strong resolu
tions calling the United States
senate to pass" without delay the
Dyer Anti-Lynching bill to "correct
certain abuses and barbarous treat
ment meted out to the citizens of

called upon the Senate to take this
Step not only to end the disgrace of
mob violence, but to remove this blot
from the name of America, because
"in foreign countries the belief is
common the United States govern
ment is indifferent to punish the evil
doers and we regret that the reports
on lynching will tend "to lower the
respect and esteem which the nation
em'oys."

CONGRESSMAN
OYER SCORED
NORTHERN COLORED
FOLKS FOR APATHY ON
ANTI-LYNGHING BILL
"Northern colored people, feeling
safe from lynchers, are not doing
their utmost in the fight to secure'
of the anti-lynching bill
which will put an end to lynching in
this country," declared Congressman
L. C. Dyer of Missouri, father of
the anti-lynching bill, according to
a letter from Mr. Dyer to the Nat
ional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored Peoole, made public
here today.
"If all the colored people of the
North would throw themselves vig
orously into the fight, the bill would
be passed and a death blow struck
to the barbarism of mobs. I think it
be well for you to issue a
special appeal to the colored people
in all the states wheue they have
votes to get busy and write letters
and telegrams to the Republican
United States senators urging them
to pass the anti-lynching bill before
this session of the Senate adjourns,"
Mr. Dyer continued.
James Weldon Johnson, in refer
ing to Mr, Dver's statement, said:
"I want to back up as strongly as I
can what. Mr. Dyer says. We have
had' much loyal support from col
ored people throughout the country,
but it has not been as great and
united as it should be. We are fac
ing a most critical situation on the
Dyer bill. Having been reported out
by the Senate Judiciary committee,
it is up to us to show the Senate
that the bill must be pased before
this session of the Senate adjourns.
We must all work to have the anti
Ivnchinp- bill brought to a vote be
fore the November^ elections. We
must keep the wires hot until the bill
is passed."
Beverage Endorses
Anti-Lynching Bill
"The crime of lynching is o
atrocious and so subversive of the
fundamental principles of govern
ment that the most thorough meas
ures should be adopted to prevent it.
Nothing has thus far been presented
that is more effective than the Dyer
bill. Many times dur
ing my primary campaign I public
ly declared my support of the Dyer
bill. I do not see how any citizen
who believes in law and order can
take any other stand," declares Al
bert J. Beveridge, former United
States senator from Indiana.
Mr. Beveridge further pledged to
the Advancement Association his aid
in "the efforts of your Association
to end the uncivilized practice of
lynching. In this most worthy enter
prise I wish you every possible suc
cess and am glad to express to you
my heartiest support."
