Muskogee Cimeter

WILL H. HAYES FACES RACE QUESTION (R eleased for Publication by Will H. Hayes, Personall.) (By Edgar G. Brown.) Indianapolis, Ind., March 5.—Wiil H. Hayes, chairman of the National Republican Committee, in Chicago before the Lincoln League, composed of 400 r representative colored citizens from 33 states, denounced lynching as a crime under any circumstances. At that time many skeptical ones remarked: "The same old catch phrases to corral our vote in November." There are colored people who do not know Will Hayes as we do in Indiana. He rings true at the time and really stands for 100 per cent Americanism, just like the late The odore Roosevelt. Just read the following words with which he closed his address at a luncheon given in his honor by the Columbia Club of this city. Among those present were Governor Goodrich, ex-Governor Beveridge and other national as well as local celebrities. Your humble servant was the only colored man present with the exception of the waiters. Not the language of a man who after he finds the truth is not afraid to tell it to the world, and by so doing serves notice that the Republican party intends to stand honestly b y bevery every American r regardless of sex or race. Chairman Hayes pleads to his white brethren thus: "The Republican party, guar anteed by its past, underwritter by its present, will measure its future steps forward by the new needs of the nation." "Let all wishers of good govern emt, rargardess of party affiliations, all let those who love their country and its institution listen now for a moment to the Spirit of America, which wa Washington, and Lincoln and Roosevelt. Listen and hear from them the call: "Carry on, Americans! Carry on! Carry on, now against the foes of our own household as you fought at Valley Forge, at the Argonne and at Chateau Thierry. Carry on Carry on!! Find disloyalty, there be disloyalty, and scotch it find dishonesty, and crush it; find the right and cleave unto it. Keep your eyes raised, American, but keep your feet on solid ground. Find the reason for discontent and meet it squarely; correct the cause where there is a cause and erculessly destroy the excuse where it is an excuse only. Find exact justice—demand it for at men and require it from all men. Remember the stuff you are made of, Americans. Remember—and be encouraged. The manhood and womanhood of America is sound. The stress of late date has strained all overmuch. Be patient with one another, but as you value your country's future, wait not a moment to realize the emergency nor longer delay your action. Each one is equally responsible. Stop and look within. Look, each one to your own industry and thrift. Look to your own conscience and moral responsibility. In the whirl of the stars about you, seize upon common sense and good conscience. Holding fast, then lift yourselves from the maelstrom of unrest and regain for yourself your own sound judgment—and then reach for others as they are hurled by. Yes, forget not the others who are about you. It is as dangeraus now as it was just outside the walls of Eden to ask in surprise, "Am I my brother's keeper?" Remember, we all go up or we all go down together. The great power which is the Spirit of America, must not talerate any attempt to array group against group, section against section, or sect against sect. Guard against this as you would against a pestilence; the Nation has no greater enemy than one who would thus divide the country against itself. While you are in a turmoil our late enemies are marshalling with dispatch all of their industrial resources. Let not our great accomplishment in war be marred by our inability to order our own affair The Muskogee Cimeter. 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-behaved man and woman their equality of opportunity, and require from their full measure of accountability. Live and let live is not enough—we must live and help live—and as you live and help live find always exact justice and enforce it." RICH NEGRO GIRL TIES UP FORTUNE Fearing Attempt to Rob Her, Sarah Rector Signed Deed of Trust Fearing an attempt to spirit her away and rob her of her must wealth, Sarah Rector, reputed richest negro girl in the world, voluntarily place her $1,500,000 state beyond ever her own reach yesterday a few hours after she became of age and assumed unrestricted control of her riches. She executed a deed of trust, covering her entire estate and naming M. G. Young, with J. A. Looney was her guardian when she became of age yesterday, and T. B. Porter, her former guardian, as truttest to serve under $150,000 bond. Safeguards Her Property Unlike most of the rich wards of the county court who for weeks in advance plan how they may spend their money when they become of age and get unrestricted possession of their estates, Sarah Rector and her parents, Joe and Rose Rector, have been plaining for months now they might safeguard the great fortune and avoid the pitfalls that might be made by uncurpulous men seeking to rob her. Before the news became generally known that the girl was soon to become of age, she and her parents left their home in Kansas City. There whereabouts were not made known until ten days ago, then a petition, signed by the mother, was filed in the county court asking that the girl be deared incompetent and that a guardian be appointed as soon as she became of age yesterday. The position bore the seal of a Los Angeles notary public. The petition itself isn no thought to have been a part of a carefully arranged program designed to protect the girl. Had she been spirited away, the case would have been pushed in an effort to have a guardian appointed and to invalidate any instruments the girl might have signed through force or persuasion. The girl and her parents came to Muskogee yesterday without even notrying the court. They went to the office of W. E. Disney, who filed the petition in the incompetency case and who was retained several weeks ago to help protect the girl, and there the trust deed was executed. The girl and her parents immediately drove to the country to visit relatives, announcing they would not return until late and shortly before time to board the train for Kansas City, where the girl will re-enter school now that her fortune has been safely disposed of, her attorney said. "They are terribly gui-shy and won't talk to anyone," Mr. Disney said last night. "They are still somewhat afraid some effort might be made to steal the girl. "Various plans were made to take the girl and attempt to get her fortune but Sarah and her parents have profited by the experience of other wards of the court and have kept away from all persons whom they suspected," Mr. Disney said. Eight years ago, according to Joe McMurray, bailiff in the county court, the enti Rector estate could have been bought for about $1,500. It consisted of her barren, rocky allotment which was apparently almost worthless. It had so little value then that no offer was ever made for it. Today it, and the oil that has been produced from it, is valued at more than $1,500,000. NOTICE BY/PUBLICATION In the District Court of Muskogee County, State of Oklahoma. C. O.

In spite of the inclement weather a splendid audience was in attendance and all expressed themselves as satisfied with the programme rendered. The following amounts were raised by the different clubs: Progressive Art, twelve members, $31.75. Royal Art, twenty-two members, $6.10. Mary Church Terrell, sixteen members, $60.00. Francis Harper, forty members, $85.25. Total, $84.10. The Mary Church Club, having the largest per cent, according to the suggestions made, were awarded $5.66 for their faithful and earnest work. Mrs. N. W. Green, President. Miss Balzoria A. Malvin, Secretary. We want representation on the delegation that goes to the Republican national convention. There are 50,000 Negro voters in Oklahoma and this certainly entitles them to representation on the delegation. There will certainly be no disposition to prevent our soldier boys from voting and if there is there will be H——to pay. Watch and see. The Pheonix seems elated that the Negro did not attend the Republican convention and says that the Negro is eliminated from Republican politics. Well, the convention did not pass any resolutions eliminating the Negro and it would not amounted to a thinker's D——if they had. They did resolute against old Tams and that may count. The Negro is a Republican and the fact that in Muskogee county the emies are now in the saddle, will not discourage them. Our time will surely come when we can square up with our emies.

"The government has so governed my business that I do not know who owns it. I am inspected, suspected, examined, reexamined, required and commanded so I do not know who I am or why I am here. "A ll I know is I am supposed to be an inexhaustible supply of money for every human need, desire or rope of the human race and because I will not sell all I have and go out and beg, borrow or steal money to give away, I have been cussed, discussed, boycotted, talked to, talked about, lied to, lied about, held up, robbed and nearly ruined, and the only reason I am clinging to life is to see what in H—— is coming off next."

RACE PREJUDICE DEFEATS MILITARY TRAINING The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today published a statement assing rting that the opposition in the South to universal military training was due to prejudice against the colored soldier. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People does not concern itself with universal military training as such," says that statement, "but in b chalf of the colored people of the United States objection must be made to the propaganda against colored soldiers by which it was hoped to discredit the measure." "Brigadier General Sherburne and Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, have testified to the valor of Negro troops in France. Under the circumstances, the propaganda against colored soldiers must be characterized as for the most part deliberate and intentional falsification."

Beliefs WOOD STRENGTH GAINING RAPIDLY Chicago, Ill.—Wood sentiment is sweeping America, according to reports from every state in the Union received at the headquarters of the Leonard Wood national campaign committee here. Considered of particular importance is the fact that straw ballots and newspaper polls taken in every state indicate almost unanimously that if the Republican voters of the country have their choice, Leonard Wood will be the party's candidate. In almost every one of these polls he is leading by 2 to 1, and in most cases has as many votes as all other candidates put together. This fact is particularly important considering the fact that more than half the delegates to the national convention in Chicago June 8 will be sent by direct vote of the people, expressed in primary elections. A total of 480 delegates out of 1084 to be seated, will be elected by primaries. Some of these delegates will be uninstructed, but in almost every state if the voice of the people is to be heeded, the delegates will have leanings toward Wood's candidacy. Many Primaries Soon. For the benefit of political students and voters in general, herewith is printed the list of primary states and the dates of their elections, together with the number of delegates: California 26 delegates, May 4; Illinois 58, April 13; Massachusetts, 35, April 27; Montana, 8, April 23; Nebraska, 16, April 20; New Hampshire, 8, March 9; New Jersey 28, April 1; New York, 88, April 6; North Dakota, 10, March 16; Ohio, 48, April 27; Oregon, 10, May 21; Pennsylvania, 76, May 18; South Dakota, 10, March 23; Texas, 23, April 25; West Virginia, 10, May 25 and Wisconsin, 26, April 6. New Hampshire comes first and its eight delegates, to be elected March 9, are absolutely certain to be for Wood. New Hampshire always has had a warm spot in her heart for Wood, for it is the state where he was born, although he lived there but a short time. Then comes North Dakota March 16, and South Dakota March 23, with ten votes each. These states are regarded as highly important from a campaign standpoint. It is expected that the only real opposition that Wood will have in South Dakota is from the forces backing Gov Frank Lowden of Illinois, man facturer and capitalist, who marries the daughter of the Pulaski Crosses. Thousands of dollars are being poured into the Dakota battle against Wood but every Wood's committee is discovering new strength for him there. Leads in Minnesota. A peculiarly good indication of Wood strength comes from Minnesota The St. Paul Pioneer Press, one of the leading newspapers of the country, took a careful, systematic poll by letter of editors, legislators and leading politicians who are supposed to be in close touch with the pulse of the people at all times. It proved that of 373 leaders questioned, 201 were for Leonard Wood Lowden was next with only 50; Johnson third with 46; Taft got 25; Hughes 20. Hoover 12. Franier of North Dakota 3 and Harding Polindexter. Goethe's, Kellogg Root Copper and Governor South of New York 1 each. It is interesting that Hoover led 14 Democratic candidates with 55. Wilson had 31. Brown II and Palmer 10. The popular southern has any saw Wood will be the next president of the United States.

New York.—Theodore Roosevelt Jr., member of the New York assembly, has issued a statement formally announcing that he will support to the utmost the candidacy of Leonard Wood for presidential nominee on the Republican ticket. "It gives me great pleasure to indorse the candidacy of General Wood," he says. "He is a man of fearless disposition and strikes out boldly for what he considers right. He is a man of proven experience as an administrator. He has demonstrated this ability in Cuba and the Philipphnes "He has thought out on liberal and constructive lines the great economic problems we will meet in this country in the coming decade. Under him I feel confident that the country will work forward to a very increasing influence and stability." LEADER JOINS WOOD Aberdeen, S. D.-State Senator H. P. Hill, one of the most well-known Republicans in South Dakota, has announced he will support Leonard Wood for presidential nominee. "I was originally for Governor Lowen of Illinois," Hill explained, "but after hearing him speak at Mitchell the other day I have decided that Wood is a much stronger man, from every standpoint, for president of this nation. We need an administrator a man capable of gigantic organization and I believe Leonard Wood's tremendous governmental experience makes him the logical choice of all new in the race." BROAD STAND ON FARMER BY WOOD BROAD STAND ON FARMER BY WOOD SE TELLS HIS OPINION OF AGRICULTURE'S NEEDS / T THIS TIME. Chicago, Ill.—In an answer to a query from one of the leaders of agricultrists of the county, Leonard Wood, Republican candidate for presidential nomination, yesterday gave one of the most candid statements of his position toward the farmer that has ever been published by a political candidate. After declaring that the decline of agriculture is one of the greatest dangers the country faces, and that the farmer, as the backbone of the nation, is entitled to every administrative encouragement and a square deal all around, Wood gave as the salient points in his agricultural beliefs; "1. The farmer sacrificed much during the war. We owe him a debt of gratitude we never can repay for his stanch loyalty. "2. Education for farm children should be as easily accessible and on as high a plane as that of city children, with vocational training to the last degree, in a broad, consolidated school system. "3. We must give the rural districts good roads, for commerce and relations. "4. There must be a department of agriculture in full and intelligent cooperation with the farmer and the great farm organizations. "5. I believe in a far closer connection between producers and consumers of food. Too small a portion of the consumer's cost gets back to the farmer. "6. Boarding of food supplies should be rigorously suppressed. "7. Secure provision should be made to enable farmers to get adequate credit to extend farming interests. "8. There should be bigger supplies of fertilizer available at cheaper rates. "9. I believe that the treatment of cooperative organizations of farmers should be with the same consideration as to other organizations under similar circumstances. "10. I believe in the gradual abolition of farm tenancy and encouragement of ownership of land by the individual farmer. "11. I believe in a wide extension of the farm bureau system which seems well fitted to solve many of the economic questions which confront the farmer—problems of production and distribution." SERGEANT SAVED FROM ARMY JAIL SERGEANT SAVED FROM ARMY JAIL HE AND "TWO-STARS" IN SAME FIX BUT LAD IS RESCUED. Cleveland. —You veterans of the late war with the cooties, Huns et ceentr will appreciate this story. The train from the East, hours late because of a blizzard, was pulling into Cleveland. A soldier boy, a sergeant, service hat pulled despondently down over his eyes, sat and stared unblinkingly out of the window into the fierce blasts of snow. His sextimate struck up a conversation with him, after several overtures had failed. "Gee, but this storm sure is getting me in bad!" said the boy. "I'm 13 hours over my leave now. Me for the hoosgow, for sure!" The passenger listened to the story and then requested the soldier to let him take his pass a minute. The passenger went up to the other end of the car and sat down with another man. Soon he beckoned to the sergeant. When the lad got to the other end of the car and saw two stars on either shoulder of the man the passenger had consulted he saluted. "Sergeant," said the officer, "I've explained on the back of this pass that the same storm that delayed you also held me back. In case they don't believe this is my signature, here's my card. Give them both." The soldier walked back to his seat. Then he looked at the card. It said: "Major General Leonard Wood, Commander, Central Department." "Can you beat it?" mused the boy, as he stared out the window more, but this time with a wide gaze. SOLDIERS FOR WOOD South Dakota and Kansas Veterans to Back Him. Mitchell, S. D.-Soldier boys who saw service either in France or at home are showing big enthusiasm for the candidacy of Leonard Wood in this state, according to W. H. King, state manager, in a statement here today. "This is surprising to some of those who declared that soldiers would be opposed to any army candidate." King said. "But these boys know that Wood is totally different from some of the domineering officers of the 'Second Loole' type that they served under. They know that he is not a militarist in any sense of the word, and those who served under him in the Eighty-ninth and Tenth divisions love him like a father. Soldier clubs for Wood are being organized all over the state and J. J. McGraw and Fred Stanley, national vice chariers of the Wood boom, tell me that down in Kansas, where many of the boys of the Eighty-ninth lived, there is a similar condition. Wood will win in a uniform." Wellington © KALINOW Left to Right, Standing—Olsen Gulter Wood, Louise Barbara Wood, Leonard Wood, Jr. Left to Right, Gulter—Mrs. Leonard Wood, Leonard Wood. SIR JOHN HENRY BURTON LEONARD WOOD. Major General, United States Army LEONARD WOOD Agents Drive Away. Two weeks ago two officers who located the still were driven back to their buggy, which they had tied up by the roadside, and warned that the particular locality was unwholesome for them. Outnumbered, the revenue agents retreated and reported to the United States Marshal here. Half a dozen revenue agents and ten special constables, tramped ten miles, furiously, to the spot where they knew the still to be operating. The blockaders had received notification from those sources which are always a mystery to the government agent. When the officers reached the belt of woods they soon discovered that possession of the illicit still was not to be had without dispute. With shotgun, sawed off, the revenue agents opened a brisk fire. S. R. Brame, internal revenue agent in charge of the expedition, resorted to military tactics, and as snots were fired the officers' posse crept slowly forward in a semi-circle until a point was reached where a rush could be made. A general mouse followed, for the work was too close for firearms and the light of the dawn uncertain. In the fight at close quarters many of the mountainers shunk away through the woods, leaving four prisoners. Henry Love, Joo Pete Love, Taylor and Lewis McGee, in the hands of the officers. These men were securely hand-cuffed, but there was still fight in Henry Love, who, while the officers smote the copper kettle in which whisky was being distilled, lashed away. His hands were fastened behind him. Moonshiner Is Shot A shot from one of the revenue men pierced his eye, and with his sight thus hindered he was easy prey for his pursuers, who took him back to the others. Search revealed another illicit still and this also was destroyed. Near was found a motor car of light beilid which bore evidence of having stared M. LEONARD WOOD. Major General, United States Army Port Smith—John Fuller, a former officer of police of this city, was arrest by the police today charged with violating the liquor law. Two sut- cies of whiskey the police found in an unptown restaurant is declared by the proprietor and by the police to be long to Fuller—Arkansas Gazette. some spouses are actually a majority of the church-going people believe that they have been in many atlanta in placing the dry laws in a general code. when in fact I don't allow they really are responsible for out of every hundred laws. let me show this bunch, who are afraid to show their amendment to be discussed in the church, because they well know it is full of loopholes, that they can not fool the people any longer. The time is here when this boolean amendment should be over heinously defeated in order to give those pastors who have been hoodwinked by the Anti-Salmon League a chance to realize that it is time to call haunt. (Mr. Mack was formerly Hamilton county manager for the Ohio Antl Aquilops, Ohio — O. A. Mack, head of the Law Enforcement League, who is serving the state and speaking in Ohio, said: "The Anti-Saloon League in the last years has collected at least $1.1 million from the church-going people Ohio, and what did the voters return for the money? Not dry law has the Anti-Saloon League passed. What has become of the enormous amount of money? What has it done the dry forces of money? These high-priced salary leases it that they and their families live in luxury, while the money is collected in many cases from women who are overstubs working their very vitality." A law should be passed stopping men from being permitted to go to the churches to collect money to train these high-salaried leaders. A writer in the Sun says that the dry law of Colorado has "marked satisfactorily" in his state. Because of prohibition, he says that impatient and wife beating complaints have been greatly reduced. Like any a man this simple water drinker thinks that liquor transforms man into a cruel monster; that a couple of drinks of whisky as infuriates a man that he goes out and whips somebody and then goes home and beats his wife. Nothing is more ridiculous. The nature of a man comes out when he is under the influence of liquor; he throws the bride off and does what his heart or his betud head prompts him to do. If a man is unexotic him to do. If a man is unexotic his wife; if he has a cruel nature he may beat her. But the man who would whip his wife after consuming whisky would do so when sober. A drunken man, if he has a generous nature, gives away his money. One day last week the newspapers told of a man who scared bills along Broadway and handed money to newsbirds. He had been drinking. All under the man that liquor does, as we said before, is to bring out the true nature of a man, and most men are another decent—Morning Telegraph, New York City.
