MEGRO BANK WAS CLOSED
Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 26. A most unusual story is being told here concerning Bank Commissioner H. H. Smock, head of the state banking system of Oklahoma, and the negro town of Boley, southwest of Muskogee, in Okfuskee county.
Smock sent an examiner into Boley to examine the Boley Bank and Trust company, a negro banking institution with a capital of $25,000. The examiner reached the town, which is composed of about 2,200 Negroes, and which is run by negoes, from mayor to postmaster. Just as the sun was setting, a mob immediately gathered around him and escorted him beyond the town limits with the reminder that no white man could spend the night in Boley, or stay their after the sun went down.
The examiner was compelled to drive ten miles before he found a place to spend the night. Smock heard of the treatment tendered his examiner, and became so enraged that he ordered the bank closed if it did not at once comply with severe regulations. A delegation of the directors of the negro institution went to Gathrie to get him to loosen up on them a little, but he told them plainly that they had made his examiner "hunt the night," and that he would make them pay for it.
He also told them not to accept any more deposits until they had complied with his additional demands. As a result the bank had

Supreme Court of Mississippi Gives Jury Rights to Negroes.
Jackson Miss. Feb. 17—Chief Justice Whitfield handed down a decision in the case of Arthur Payne, a negro, to-day that is of far-reaching importance, especially in those States where the Negro has been elimination as a political factor and never placed on juries. Ferrer killed a white man in Tate County, and was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. The defense moved to quash the indictment and also the venire of the ground that the jury was composed entirely of white men and that Negroes were purposely excluded. The court sustained the motion to quash the special venire, but overruled the one to quash the indictment, which the Supreme Court says was a "tatal error." This is the first time this question of mixed juries has been decided here.

NEGROES AT THE TOP.
Negro Architects Who Have Won Their Way thru Merit.
The following is an exact copy from the Democratic paper of Potosi, Mo., where J. A. Lankford and his brother Mr. A. E. Lankford were born. Lankford & Bro., as will be explained in the article, are Negro architects, who were pioneers in this country as architects. They are young men of ability, character and standing.
J. A. Lankford is president of the Washington Negro Business League and Vice-President of the National Negro Business League; a director of the colored Y. M. C. A., and prominently connected with the St. Luke's and True Reformer's. Lankford & Bro. have designed and built more buildings than any other firm of its kind. The supervising architect of the United States, in passing on their plans for the Jamestown Exposition, said: "The plans of J. A. Lankford & Bro., rank first in every respect, from a standpoint of beauty, design and price."
"J. A. Lankford and Bro., architects and builders, of Washington, D. C., who were born and reared in Potosi, Mo., have just been selected by the white presbyterian church committee of this city to plan and build their new church, which is to be one of the finest in the city. There were eight white competitors in the Ar chitet's contest for this building, all white except Lankford & Bro., whose plans were found to be the most satisfactory in every way over those given by his white competitors."
We are glad to note that J. A. Lankford was unanimously elected by the Board of Directors, supervising architect and engineer of the National Negro Fair at Mobile, Ala. This fair has been incorporated as a National Exposition for the Negroes of America We congratulate them on getting such a talented and worthy man as their supervisor of construction. —St. Louis Advance
Sedalia Misses Organize
The young Misses of Lincoln High School have organized them selves into a Club that devotes its energies to the cultivation of Artistic Needle work. It is known as The Apollo Club and has a membership of "23," the skiddock number. On the 22nd of last month Miss Hortense Smith entertained this organization at her home on East Morgan Street. Parlor games, music and a general chattering of tongues beguiled the moments away. Cream and cake was served by three charming waitresses, Misses Florence Burris, Fodonia Carter and Gertrude Williams.
Miss Geneva Captolia Phillips is the accomplished president and Miss Ona Bessie Ruby is the efficient secretary.
TRAINING
.Why, Nettie' said her mother, what in the world are you pound ing your doll with your father's slipper for?" "Because she refuses to obey me, mamma," replied the little Mia." "I'm not a going to have neighbors saying that I spared the slipper and spoiled my child"
Newspapers Unfair
That the Negroes of this country are suffering great injustice through the newspapers no one who take the time to investigate can doubt. The great fault of our newspapers today is sensationalism which, of course, only reflects our own great fault. People want to hear of murders lynching, suicides, divorces, etc., and the newspapers give them just what they demand.
There is no particular demand for the good side of Negro life, and this is seldon given. To present in concrete form what the people demand concerning the Negroes and what the papers give them I have clipped from the leading Philadelphia papers each morning for a month the references to the Negroes: It is possible that I may have overlooked some, but I am sure I have secured all the principal ones, which were as follows: There were in all 70 articles referring to Negroes, covering 412 inches. 36 of these articles were about crimes of Negroes; covering 246 inches; 22 articles, or 114 inches were not, indeed, directly on crimes but on the dark side of Negro life with pessimistic views of the condition of Negroes; 12 articles, or 53 inches, were of miscellaneous character, only 3 of which, covering 7 inches of space, referred to the good side of Negroes.
In other words, it is clear that the articles referring to crimes of the Negroes; their weaknesses and other shortcomings, and those taking a pessimistic view of the race, took up 87 percent of the newspaper space of the month while articles referring to the good side of Negro life took only five per cent of this space. The items given most prominence during the month were those referring to assaults on white women and girls, lynching and attempts to lynch Negroes, thefts, race wars, arrests and such like.

Dear Neighbor:—
some of my friends would like to know how you treated me in my late illness when I drew benefits from you and I take this means of letting them and the public generally know my opinion of you and your business methods. I have been a member with you for a long time now and I have found you just as prompt and liberal as my friends had said. I can conscientiously recommend you to every one as being fair and honest in your dealings with me. No one can make a mistake in carrying insurance with you.

A College Girl's Pluck
My heart swelled with pride when I found out how a certain young lady is making her way. She lives in the country—has always lived there. Until she was fifteen she had never been farther from her than the next town. Being in the country, did not prevent her reading everything she could get hands on, and she finally decided that she would go to college.

"I met with no opposition every member of the family wished me success, but one could advise or help me much. In their hearts they thought me a bit crazy.
"First I picked balsm fir and made pillows, which I sold by following your advice; offering my wares from house to house till I was sold out. They were beautiful pillows, allright, and worth the money. When I had saved up sufficient for my fare to and from the university, I thought I'd venture; but reconsidered, and waited until I had enough to pay my board at some reasonable place for a week. Do you comprehend my scheming? I made a bold attempt to secure work what do you think I did?"
"After eating a good lunch, I set my hat a little firmer on my head, buttoned up my jacket to the very throat, shook out my skirks ane said, 'Now for it'—and I went to the next house as a be-

ginner asking for work that would permit my attending the preparatory department of the university. It was on the sixth day only that I found a position as cook and maid of all work for the hours I should be in the house.
"Almost everything in the Way of work has fallen to me to do. There is scarcely a lawn in this place that I have not sometime cut. I have 'tended baby,' nursed the sick, taken care of the aged, and have even done washing and ironing for the students. Not one day have I really been ill though often tired to death. But—" she leaned back against the fence that separated us and pointed a beautiful building a cross the square—"I shall take my degree there next June. This is my ninth here. Yes my ninth year. I failed in examination many times, for I could not always get work that gave me school hours; but not did I think once giving up. Here I am, and next September I hope to be one of the teachers in this same beautiful university." —Exz.

‘That the Junior Senator from
this state is subservient to the
dictations of the Roosevelt Admin-
istration ix evident from the role
he has assumed in the Senate’s
Brownsville investigation, That
he is acting contrary to his better
judgement, we believe is evident
from a study of his past career.
But the stand he has taken brooks
noapology. He has placed his
great personality against his
best friend and most loyal suppor-
ter, the Negro.
Years ago, how the Negroes of
this Commowealth adored him!
With streaming eyes, our Old Sol-
dier Boys would hail hisapproach
Did they think then that he, their
hero, would be the principal in-
strument used ¢o stultify the no-
ble career of their valorous dusky
sons? Yet cruel fate hus ordain-
ed that he, the Negro's greatest
idol, should smite him the sever-
est blow. We look fer stabs and
kicks and curses and injustices
from the “Tillmans, Carmack,
Graveses and Dixons, that majese
tic array of anarchistic firebrands
that know not shame. When they
strike, we are nerved to receive
their vicious blows, But when

or great it may be, is inflicted up.
on him needs no redress?
In other word, can aGreatand
Cultured White man do anything
toa Negro that would be contra-
ryto the !aws of American Ethics?
Some strange conditions have
arisen as result of this Browns:
ville affair, Our race is subjected
(oa grave injustice. In our weak
ness we have asked thet justice
be done. Our old men have plead
for faiv play. Our mothers have
prayed that this stigma be erased
from the brow of their suffering
sons. Our yousg men, manfully
and courageously, d2mand that a
square deal be given.

A CALL TO CONFERENCE
INFLUENTIAL NEGROES ISSUE A CALL TO THEIR RACE TO NEED IN PHILADELPHIA, PA., APRIL 7TH.
THE CALL IS HOSTILE TO THE ADMINISTRATION.
The positive and notorious hostile attitude of the government of our republic toward its citizens, of color under the present Republican administration and the approach of the party 1908 produce a crisis for one eight of the citizens of these United States of America. The open alliance between the President ane the nullifiers of the Constitution in the South constitutes the most flagrant collusion between a Republican president and the Southern Democrats since the emancipation of the American slaves 45 years ago to-day, save in the case of Andrew cw Johnson at the close of theCivil War or of Rutherford B. Hayes at the close of the reconstruction. But it has remained for the present chief executive of the United States to prescribe in official documents an inferior grade of education for one class of citizens, and to thus officially brand that class as concealers of criminals and as rapists, while the defaming and discharging in disgrace of more than a hundred soldiers, all Colored, without a trial or chance to be heard in their own defence in a denial of justic and constitnional rights visited upon Colored citizens unprecedented in our country's history. The placing of the nation's sanction upon the segregation of citizens for and because of color in public travel but completes the federal maltreatment of the Colored citizens under the present Republican administration, leaving him stripped of rights, branded and in contempt.
In view of these unusual and extraordinary conditions, in view of the attempt of the presntn Czarocratic regime to perpetuate itself in power in imperial fashion, in view of open candidacy for the Republican party's nomination for the presidency of one, who in his

This conference will have special referenc to what demands shall be made of political parties as to the national platform and most particularly to what candidates for the presidential nomination most deserves the support of the Negro voters. Please come prepared to make a stand for equal rights and for constitutional liberty for all in these United States without regard to race, color or creed. (Signed)

"I was so crippled that I could scarcely walk. After having my shoes on for an hour or two I could manage to walk again. I began to have paints all through my system. My doctor told me I had an acute attack of bulimia and Nervine, bought a bottle and I commenced to get better from the start and for the past six months have acquired a taste and am able to walk as well as ever."

| The vote of 11 to 2 by which
the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs declared that the soldiers
of the Twenty-fith Infantry*shot
up'’ tbe town of Brownsville on
that August might of 1906 does
not dispose of that case’ The
Senate is still to be heard from.
Senator Foraker has led the fight
in favor of the discharged soldiers
and on the divisions on some as-
pects of the case he has stood
pratically alone. Nobody doubts
that the Senate will sustain the
position taken by the committee
But the vote there is not likely to
be so onesided as it has been in
the committee. Morover, in the
discussion in the Senate the coun-
try wil: hear what is said on both
sides.
But neither the vote in the
committee nor in the Senate will
alter the fact that the discharge
of a whole battalion for the of-
fenses of aZew members of it, if
any of the members did commit
the offenses charged agaisnt them
was unjust. Morover, at the
time of the discharge there had
virtually been nohearing of the
case from the side of the soldiers.
| Not even the most pronounced of
the enemies of the soidi-rs have
ever intimated that all of them,
|participated in the disturbance.
‘The theory of the law that it is
better that the ten guilty persons
escape than that one innocent
persons shall suffer is here made
to read that ten innoceat persons
shall suffer in order that the one
guiity person shal! not escape,
The fact that the discharged
soldiers were Negroes is # de-
tail which will not be considered
here, ‘There is no double stand-
ard in morals. Equity carries
no color line Many of the 150
members of the discharged bat-
talion had served severalterms in
the army, Some of them would
soon have been able to retire ona
setvice pension. The conduct of the
battalion had been good. Yet virtu
a:ly with out a bearing all its mem
vers were expelled trom the army
under a charge of dishonor. All

Harry C. Smith, former legsilator
and editor of the Gazette’ devoted
to the colored race. ,, There are
30,000 Negro voters in Ohio
enough to swing the state, No
self-respecting Negro can sup-
port Taft, The Brownsville “Tex-
as” episode, his attitade toward
‘Jim Crow’ cars in the South and
his antipathy to the Negro race,
as evidence in almwst every pub-
lic utterance, have simply driven
tne Negroes from hi. In Clev-
land the situation is particular!y
acute. Nearly al! of ux are ready
to knife him et the polls 1f we get

‘man Burton quits his Taft alle-
giance the Negroes will work ta
defeat him.
“The Negroes of Ohio are take
