THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE TELLS HOW DEMOCRATS CONTROL OKLAHOMA ELECTIONS The denial of registration to some thousands of colored citizens in Oklahoma, the last election in Oklahoma which was vigorous by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, when took the cases into the federal courts, has created much interest in the Democratic control of Oklahoma's election machinery. A correspondent of a local white paper, who signs himself "Observer," charges that election registers cannot be found by intending voters who are thus deprived of the opportunity to register and threaten of their ballots. Says "Observer: Kehoma's present registration system is probably unparalleled in any State outside the solid South. The voter is often confronted with the same problem which vexed the officers in Chesteron's Flying Inn," when the gentle here determined to avoid the payment of taxes for running a tavern, carried his public sign with him over the country-side and opened up his inn in the most unexpected places. The registrars are supposed to keep their books course they must go to their daily toll and those who seek registration often spend the entire 10-day registrar without cornering him." "Observer" comments that as long as the Governor—who appoints the election board—is in harmony with the Senate, whose Secretary is Secretary of the election board, "the election machinery is concentrated in a united control which is airtight." There have been times when many Churches, Sunday School, B. Y. P. U.'s and Missionary Circles have had brought home to them, the Truth of the great commission. "Go Ye Into All The World And Preach The Gospel To Every Creature. When the Holy Spirit has made them feel their grave, responsibility of helping to hold up Him in regions beyond who said, "And I Am To Be Lifted Up Will Draw All Men Unto Me." Times when the sad conditions of suffering humanity perish in Heathen Lands without Sunday, Schools, Day Schools or Christian Homes or any chance of eternal life have found a tender response under the spell promises were made to give systematized report for the spread of the Gospel, lost world. But they soon become slack in keeping such wonderful resolutions; the picture of a perishing world seem to fade away from their minds. The great commission loses its importance and they begin to grow indifferent towards the great purpose of God's Church in the world, in your Church, Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. or Missionary Circle a slacker have you slowed up or left off, after making a good start to send the Gospel to those who have it not for selfish motives for personal gratification or for local interests. Have you forgotten those who are beckoning back hands from naked bodies in thousands of villages as they look towards America. In tears, saying: come over and help us, give us a chance too, we have no Christian Homes, no Sunday Schools, no Day Schools, no Churches, no Bibles or Hymn books, we still live in huts that have no floors chimneys or windows, we have little or no knowledge of cooking, no trained physicians, we much from many diseases. In tears they say, come over and help us. Once you started to rescue, Have you become slack? In other words are you a slacker. NEGRO DOCTORS GAIN ADMESSION STAFF HARLEM HOSPITAL (N. A. A. C. P. Pre Service) As a result of ten years of ex- and agitation, the Barr of Bellevue an Allied Hospitals of New York City appointed in June, five colored physicians of New York City to the regular staff of Harlem located at 160th Street and Lenox the chain of the Bellevue and Allied Hospital's which include Bellevue Herlem, and Fordham Hospital's in New York City and King's County Hospital in Poolston. The physi- Ds. Loeh T. Wright, Douglas B Johnson, Ralph H. Young, Jas, T W Granady, and Lucien Brown Ten colored Interes will be appointed after passing the required commuations to begin their services July 1, 1976 The agitation for admission of qualified colored physicians to the staff has been led by former Adlerman George W. Harris, edd r of the New York News; Ford and Marton, Democratic leader of Harlem. The North Halem Medical Association; the N. A. A. C. P., and numerous other organizations and individuals. Harriah Hospital is located in the heart of Haitien and with the rapid increase of the Negro population in that section of the City, a large majority of the patients are colored. There has been a steadfast refusal to admit qualified colored physicians but after a hearing before Major Hykan, it was decided to appoint the above named five men on the Inloor Staff, and a number of other colored physicians on the Out Patient Department Staff. There has been great enthusiasm in Harlem as a result of this step. The success of these five men will in a large measure determine the question of admitting other physicians to Harlem and other New York hospitals and will profoundly affect the hospital situation in other cities of the country. This is the first time in the history of America that Negroes have been admitted to the regular staff of a Metropolitan hospital, as a part of the institution's policy. KANSAS VOCATIONAL COLLEGE KANSAS VOCATIONAL COLLEGE The Summer School for Theological students under the direction of Rev A. W.

(Commission on Interracial Co-operation) ATLANTA 444 JULY 21 To the one vors of all riffs and other peace of ficeers in the performance of duty sometimes during and on occasion unpopular—is concerned the stu- der decrease in the number of lynchings the commission in interim coopera- tion holds in a lee point the riffs of the several southern states The growing number of reported "preventions" of molt violence in proportion to the acreing number of "lynchings," the letter puts out is clearly the result of the officers vigilance, and at the same time points the way to the final extinction of molt violence" which peculiarly American crime may sue by being from the man by faithful officer, backed by an aroused public sentiment." The commissional letter to be served, signed by Dr. M. Ashby Jones, Chairman, and W. W. Alexander, Dir. or, is as follows: * During the last three years America's annual lynchrerecord has decreased 50 percent from 8 in 1922 to 28 in 1623 and to 16 last year. This is most gratifying and has occasioned nationwide comment. * That this trend is due largely to the influence of other factors indicated by a study of the records. In 1914 there were 52 lynchings and only 14 reported preventions. In 1924 the figures were reversed 15 lynchings and 45 preventions. These figures tell the story and point the way to the final extinction of mob violence. In this effort our officers have undoubtedly had and will have the full approval and support of enlightened public opinion by the South. "The purpose of this letter is to express on behalf of the I terracial Commission and its munitions of affiliated state and county committee their cordial appreciation of the felicity and courage on the part of the sheriff which has brought about this gratifying change. In successfully opposing mobs these offenders are doing something more than protecting their prisoners, whether guilty or innocent. They are protecting the law and constitutions of state and nation. They are upholding the good name of their communities, their states and their country. They are defending civilization itself against the threat of anarchy. This peculiarly American crime may speedily be wiped from the map by faithful officers, backed by faithful officers, backed by an aroused public sentiment. To that end we wish you Coupspeed and pledge you our hearty co-operation and support." LIZZIE, ONLY 15, OWNS POWERFUL PITCHING ARM (Freston News Service.) KIN-TON, N.C., July 24 - Miss Kitz abeth Stroud, 15 year old girl pitcher is the ace of the harling staff of a club of young girls in a local suburb. She fans batters with regularity and outpatch. In a recent game she struck out seven batsmen. THIS WEEK FACTS (By Frnest Riee McKinney) (Preston News Service) Why does any average Negro of only average intelligence average ability, average inclination to hard work and average grit, be common the fact that he is black and spend good time with that he were white. This Negro will not out endless words to inform you that he would be a great man if he were only white. He will tell you that he would have been at the head of this or that had it not been for his color, he really ards his well with "that of course he would not give it to me because he am sold." In this sum connection I am reminded of the Garvey's new or recent years now have been preparing to be cabinet officers, find morals, ammunition, and wristrot. It seemed to matter not to say Garveyite that man who is a host carrier is this country would probably be a host carrier in strictly Negro country. They see need to feel that by simply changing an geographical location, changing the color of one's rulers and employees, would make it possible for an unfortunate or lazy man to occupy a higher position than he did before. The Negro who want to be white seem to feel that the mere clinging of the cow will make a wise man of a fox, a quiet untruming getteman of a big orant monk went loungelizard, o a sensitely retired young woman from a gum chewing, painted half naked fladder. Vary sincere Negroes, not in the above category, seem to feel that the e is come overwintering and mentable and sure advantage in being white. That is they feel that somehow, in some way, if they could only be white their o robber, financial, industrial, social and cultural, would be ov r. They seem to feel that the white race is where it is simply because of the color of the skin. They are fatalists living always in the grip of the belief that blackness is a curse from which no Negro need try escape. He cannot escape it curse, say they, as long as his skin is black. These people, both the sincere and the merely foolish do not seem able to envisage the true situation. Ability does count regardless of race or color. Bliss do win despite the coincidence that they may be enclosed in a peculiar shaped skull crowned with crinkly hair, soft speech will benefit one even tho' it rolls across lips not so thin as those of the Nordic. I am reminded of a saying of Charlie Schaw: "If you have done your best you have done everything; if you have done less than your best, you have done nothing." Empire State Federation of Clubs Declares His Statements Are 'Untrue and Slanderous.'

FIVE WHITES HELD AFTER MOB DRIVES OUT 35 JAPANESE (Preston News Service) TOLLDO, OREGON, July 21—Five white men are under arrest and will appear for preliminary hearing Tuesday on charges of participating in a riot as a result of trouble expulsion Monday of approximately 25 Japanese who were working in the Pacific spruce corporation in there.

After a mass meeting in the streets, at which agitators urged the crowd, composed of men, women and children, to act, the mob, led by a man waving an American flag, matched on the mill guards. Weapons were taken from the guard and deputy sheriffs at the mill and several men injured in flat high which followed.

B FITZWATER, DD, Dean of the Evening School Already Bible Institute of Chicago] (C) 1928 Western Newspaper Union Lesson for July 23 THE COUNCIL AT JERUSALEM LESSON TEST—Acta 15 1-26 LESSON TEXT—Acts 15 1-36 GOLDEN TITLE—We believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they —Acts 15 11. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus the Friend of Little Children JUNIOR TOPIC—A Great Gathering at Jerusalem I. The Controversy in the Church at Antioch (v. 1.5). This difficulty was a most serious one for it threatened the disruption of the church into a Jewish and a Gentile division. It was not a question of the admission of the Gentiles into the church. That had been settled some years before when Peter received Corinthians and his household. The question now was, on what ground could they be received? Should Gentile convicts be required to keep the Mosque law as a condition of salvation? This issue was brought on by the coming of certain men from Jerusalem who clared, 'Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses ye cannot be saved (v.1)'. The question was so difficult that Paul and Barnabas were unable to put the man to silence. These Jewish legalists had the letter of the Scripture on their side. They could point to the command in which this was enjoined upon believers (Gen. 17:14). Paul could not point to any Scripture where it had been abrogated. If Paul could I plead that Abraham was justified before he was circumcised, his ant godists could answer, 'Yes, but after justification the rite was divinely imposed'. The brethren at Antioch decided to refer the matter to the mother church at Jerusalem. Accordingly, Paul and Barnabas and others were sent as a deputation to Jerusalem. At an informal reception by the church at Jerusalem they rehearsed the things which God had done for them 11. The Deliberations of the Council (vv. 621) 1. Peter's Speech (vv. 611). He argued that God had borne witness to His acceptance of the Gentleby giving the Holy spirit to them as unto the Jews (Aos 10 7 47). Since therefore, God had not made a difference it would be toly for them to do so. 2. Paul and Pumbae Rehearsed Their Experience (v. 12). They told how God had set his seal of approval on their preaching of salvation by giving through faith, apart from works by the working of signs and wonders through them. 3. The Argument of James (vv 14 21) He took the declaration of Peter and showed how it bar moralized with the prophecy of Amos (Amos 9 11 15) He showed that the reception of the Gentiles was not in conflict with God's plan, but in strict harmony therewith As set forth by James, God's plan is as follows: (1) To take out from among the Gentiles a people for His name (v 14). This is what is now going on—the preaching of the gospel to the ends of the earth and the calling out of the church (2) After the church is completed and removed, the Hobrow nation will be converted and resorted to its own land and privileges by the Lord Himself at His return (v 16 17) (3) Following this will be the con- version of the world through the agency of converted Israel (v. 12, of Iron 11:15). It is showed that there is no conflict when the Solitures are relatively divided. His judgment was that the Gentiles should not be treated with respect are Jewish, but should be treated against the paths of heathen in such as meant of it to Hols concession and blood. (4). The Decision (vv. 22000) The Mother church came to many limous agreement and accepted the resolution offered by James. The appeal and edders not only sent it stating the decision of the conference but took the also a request to see influential men along with Paul and Barnabus to bear the same testimony by word of mouth. The letter doubted the authority of the J. J. Smith, teachers (v. 24) and stated the method by which this deed had been reached (vv. 2527). They in the Holy Spirit first. IV. The Decision Delivered to the Church (vv. 3035) The church was called together to hear the report. Its reading brought reholling. They were now free to prosecute the great ordinary work.
