Zion Church will enter the newly acquired edifice recently purchased by them from the Union M. E. Congregation at the corner of Garrison and Lucas. History making because there is no other church that is so well equipped with every convenience, owned and controlled by the colored people, in the world. Dr. Shaw calls it a "Community Church" because it is fitted out with a first class gymnasium, a large swimming pool domestic science. Competent instructors have been secured to supervise the and is arranged for the teaching of work. Every boy and girl, woman and man will have the opportunity of enjoying these benefits. The efforts being put forth by this church should inspire every Negro who goes there during the Jubilee week to give at least $1.00. Denominational lines will be forgotten next Sunday and everybody will help this congregation to send a thankful payment on this property. Last Sunday after Dr. Shaw had preached a very eloquent sermon twenty-eight new members came forward and united, with the church. Following the Y. M. C. A.

LOUIS CLOVER LEAF AGENCY MEANS TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF ST. LOUIS. We are over anxious to have all the Clover Leaf Casualty policy holders and their friends to know that our office and also the Home Office does not hesitate to thank you for the loyal support you have given us in the past and will further appreciate same in the future. We wish to advise the public that never before in St. Louis has any casualty company extended such advantages to the people through colored agents. You may note also the promotions recently made in this office; Mr. J. J. Allen is now opening the state of Kansas and Mr. Hawkins succeeded Mr. Allen as District Manager in the St. Louis office. Mr. E. H. Newsome who carries the credit of being one of the fastest field men, is now expected to give up his field work and take up the management of the Industrial in St. Louis or open up Indianapolis, Ind. as District Manager. Which position Mr. Newsome will accept, he has not said. Mr. J. Mayo Weil, a well known young man in the political circle around St. Louis, carries the distinction of being as fast as they come in getting business. Mr. Weil also has a big future with the Company. Mr. G. W. Smith has the credit of holding the largest volume of Industrial business of any other Negro agent in St. Louis. Messrs. Gully and Patterson are fast coming to the light by showing that they are also productive. We would also like to say that there has never been a time in the history of our St. Louis agency, when the Clover Leaf refused to pay all just claims. The fact is demonstrated from the large volume of business we now hold and we can truly say that this is all satisfied business. The Company's prompt settlement of claims, the consideration it gives Colored agents and Colored patrons, we feel the public should rally to our support in every way and allow the fact to be demonstrated that the Negro can make good in any avenue of business that he pursues. The Siloam Temple No. 252 will have an entertainment at the residence of Mrs. J. J. Johnson, 2343 Wash St., Saturday evening, March 20. Admission 5 cents. Mrs. J. J. Johnson, president, Mrs. Mattie Hunter, vice-president, Mrs. Emma Trotter, secretary, Mrs. Emma Cooper, treasurer. Pastor Geo. E. Stevens and members of the Central Baptist Church are rejoicing over the great increase and quickening which has come to them. Dr. A. C. Powell, of New York, the evangelist, a mighty preacher, will be remembered by this whole community as an effective soul winner. His closing lecture on Thursday night presented to a packed church the deepest philosophy of life in an amusing scholarly way. Baptizing Last Sunday morning Pastor Stevens baptized nearly fifty converts, and as many more will be baptized on next Sunday night. The subject for the Sunday morning sermon will be "After the Revival, What?" The Noon Day Meeting The noon-day meeting was one of the agencies in making the revival a great success. The members and friends of the church stood with the pastor in that notable gospel service. Mrs. Anderson Russell sent many gallons of milk for the lunch. Many brought garments and food stuff and gave money. Every day for 3 months an average of 90 men were fed and given the gospel. In all over 6000 meals were given, 800 received clothing and over 200 confessed Christ. With the consent of pastor and officers, Mrs. Ruth Shelton has organized a Young People's Social Club that will prove a social blessing to the "Younger Set." The object of the club is to study and practice social eliquette. How to entertain and be entertained, and to be polite and courteous to each other. The club was organized three weeks ago with an equal number of young girls and boys, ages from 16 to 21 years. The club will be entirely controlled by a board of matrons and ushers that will manage all business and be responsible for the club. There will be social parties, receptions, banquets and outings, all under proper, refined conditions and discipline. Each month the club will give some kind of entertainment. As the young people are not in society, but simply preparing for it, the young men will not escort the young ladies to the socials unless an outing or car-ride is planned, with chaperons. Mrs. Shelton hopes to introduce the "College Social," where the young people gather for their social affairs under the guidance of matrons and hostesses. She will also hold separate conferences with the young people and discuss every detail of social to be given, so each person will know the correct thing to do when assembled together. The February Social, last Friday night, February 19, at McPheeters Presbyterian Church, for club members only, was a social success. It was given in honor of Messrs. Bland and Paxton, our "February boys." The girls looked very pretty in their dresses, decorated with hearts, hatchets and flags. The young people were received by the matrons and ushers. After a social chat they were entertained with a splendid program. The young people had been instructed how to play the new games—hence, when the bell was rung for the "Salesmen" and "Game of Hearts" all entered heartily in the fun. A mock election, and cutting two birthday cakes concluded the evening's program. When the last bell was rung the young gentlemen reluctantly said goodnight and left the young ladies in the care of the matrons. The following are members of the club: Messrs. A. Bland, L. Barry, H. Corley, A. Hopkins, E. Turner, A. Johns, C. Copeland, C. Scott, O. Farland, C. Paxton, J. Blanks, I. Higginsbottom. Misses A. Mitchell, L. Dickson, J. Jackson, J. Taylor, S. Collins, H. Thompson, L. McCaley, L. Washington, M. Bland, G. Williams, G. Bradshaw, G. Shelton, Matrons, Mesdames L. Hunter, S. Harvey, H. Johns, L. Taylor, L. Bradshaw, Jr., S. Bigham, B. O'Neal, Ushers, Messrs. A. Johns, Sr., H. Bigam, J. Taylor, L. Hunter, W. Howard, W. Bradshaw, J. N. Adams. Mrs. Ruth Shelton (hostess), Pres. Rev. Washington Pastor. Mr. Lippman, of the Fields-Lippman Piano Co., donated a piano to the St. Louis Colored Orphan Home. Messrs. Williams and Victor Smith, who have the contract for the hauling of pianos for the company, delivered the piano to the orphan home as a donation. The president and board of managers of the orphan home extend many thanks to Messrs. Lippman, Williams and Victor Smith. HATCHING SEASON NOW OPEN The Senter's Hatchery opens the season for the selling of day old chicks. So great was the demand last season for day old chicks that we were compelled to increase our hatching capacity to 3,000 eggs every twenty-one days. We are now in a position to place on the market 1,000 baby chicks each week. Chicks bought from the Senter's Hatchery can be expected to live, for the eggs come from hens that are range raised, full of life and vigor. An egg incubated from such stock, and with the proper methods of hatching, results in a chick that, with ordinary care and a little expense, is a fowl worth having. Many people who live in large cities seem to be under the impression that they have no room or space to raise even a few chicks, but they are very badly mistaken. To raise any large amount of chicks it would naturally become a farm business and would require more ground than is afforded by a small city back yard. But to raise a very few chicks at a time, especially for table use, and as a means of cutting down meat bills, thus taking a slap at hard times, very little ground is required. A large drygoods box, or a piano box, a cellar or coal shed, will answer the purpose well. Artificial means of exercise may be installed, which will take the place of free range. The feed bill is not to be considered because what you would throw away as garbage would feed a few chicks very nicely, thus you become not only a city poultryman, but an economist as well. There is no poultry food so good as table scraps for growing chicks. The Senter's Hatchery ventures to say, that when people of the great cities quit packing their garbage pails and realize that the table scraps that go into the pail could just as well be fed to a few baby chicks, then, and not until then, will that horrible nightmare of hard times be vanished. Our custom and commercial hatching department can not be excelled, as our incubator cellar is about perfect in the control of temperature, moisture and ventilation. Our incubators are of the very latest pattern, automatic in regulation and free from the use of coal oil fumes. Those having eggs to hatch run no risk in bringing them to us, for the manager has had expert knowledge of the art of incubation for many years, hence the chicks from one of these incubators, located in this almost perfect cellar, at exclusion, the chick is as fluffy and ripe and leaves the shell as free as a well ripened strawberry in June. Our incubators are equipped with the latest style ventilators, the drop bottom, so much spoken of by the United States Department of Agriculture. It has been proven that a chick hatched in a machine of this kind will have a better start for life. So many people are prejudiced to incubator chicks. Many believe they can not be raised without a mother, that they must be taught to eat, but this is all a mistake: they are in every way the equal of those hatched with hens. Why let a hen come off with only one chick and then try to raise this one only, when you can buy a dozen or so chicks from the Center's Hatchery? Slip them under her at night. She will not know the difference if you do not tell her. The second Sunday in April has been set aside for the waiters' annual day, which will be held at Central Baptist Church at 9:00 P. M. All head-waiters, and the committee must appear in full dress, and all side waiters in Tuxedos. We will meet at the Young Men's Christian Association, 2702 Lawton, Ave., at 8:30, and march from there to Central Baptist Church, led by the Odd Fellows' Juvenile Band. Take notice and govern yourselves accordingly. Committee of Headwriters and Captains Messra, R. Z. Jones, W. Robinson, D. C. Williams, Clem Jackson, Geo Boles, D. C.

Mitchell has been appointed assistant superintendent of the National Life & Accident Co., U. S. A., to have charge of their industrial business in St. Louis. Success Assured Because of Mr. Mitchell's many years of experience in the insurance business, and the fact that the company has every confidence in him, he will have the exclusive charge of adjusting and paying all claims from his office. There will be no delay, no waiting, no red tape, but a square deal. He expects to employ all of the old agents of the late Western Union and many more. The company is the largest selling health and accident insurance in the world, having over thirteen millions assets. Mr. Mitchell is in a position to offer agents the best contracts, and those that are interested should call on him at once. SPECIAL PREACHERS AT ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH Large congregations are attending the Lenten services at All Saints Church. Very Rev. Carroll M.

Read through at one sitting the entire book you are studying. This task does not take as much time as one might imagine. Seventeen of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament can be read carefully in less than half an hour each; five (Romans, Corinthians, Hebrews, Revelation) in one hour each, and the historical books as follows: A. hours, Mark, one hour and a quarter; Luke, two hours and a quarter; John, one hour and three-quarters; Acts, two hours and a quarter. Without this continual reading it is impossible to get the general thought of the book you are studying. In this general reading through of the book your purpose is not to analyze, nor is it even to get an outline, but to get an impression; therefore, pay no attention to chapter marks. One is sometimes hindered in Bible study by stopping at the end of a chapter. For instance, John 7 ends with the words: "And every man unto his own house;" chapter 8.1 reads: "Jesus went unto the mount of Olives." Now, suppose we end with the first clause, have we not stopped in the midst of a beautiful thought? The thought is this: That while every man had his own home to which to go, that while the foxes had holes and the birds of the air had nests, yet Jesus had no place to call his own, so he went to the mount of Olives. To obviate the difficulty of which we are speaking it is well to read the Revised Version. II. Read the book over and over again. In the second reading of the book you will see things that you did not see clearly, if at all, in the first reading. What at first sight was dim and misty will, in the third or fourth reading, begin to assume clear and definite outline. A careful and repeated reading of the gospel of Matthew, as here suggested reveals the fact that it has a threefold division, each introduced by the words, "From that time Jesus began." Reading up to 4:17 we come to a point which marks the first division from the second: "From that time Jesus began to preach." These words are an indication of the outline of the book: (1) Jesus' period of preparation, 1:4-16; (2) Jesus' period of evangelistic effort, 4:17-16:21; (3) Jesus' period of passion, 16:21-23:20; indicated by the words, "From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that . . . he must suffer." This brief outline is sufficient to illustrate the great advantage of the continuous reading of the book under study. III. Read the book prayerfully. Remember that the Bible is in a very real sense no ordinary book. It is an extraordinary production; it is a supernatural work. The Spirit of God inspired its writers. The same power must illumine its readers if they are to understand its meaning. We ought never to attempt the reading of God's Word without the prayer of David in our hearts: "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." (See I Cor. 2:9-16; Isa. 29: 10-12.) IV. Read the Book without the use of any helps. This does not mean that we are to despise or lightly esteem all that God has said to the race through godly men. But we must allow the Bible to speak for itself. V. Suggestions for the study of the Epistle to the Ephesians: 1. Begin by reading the epistle through three times at one sitting, making no special effort to do anything more than catch the author's spirit and the drift of his argument. Read now for general impression only. 2. Read the book through the fourth time carefully and thoughtfully for the purpose of finding out and classifying questions of introduction, such as, Who wrote the book? Why was it written? What was the character of the people to whom it was written? Have by your side as many sheets of paper as there are questions of introduction. Write a headline on each sheet, viz: On sheet one—The author; who wrote the book? Sheet two—The persons addressed; to whom written? Sheet three—When written? Sheet four—Why written? Now begin to read the text carefully, prayerfully and thoughtfully. Chapter 1, verse 1, gives us two points—the author of the book and the persons addressed. Now write down on Sheet one, "Paul. 1:1," and on Sheet two write "the saints which are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus, 1:1." Read through the episle with these questions in mind, and whenever an answer occurs write it down on its respective sheet, giving the words of the text and the exact reference. MAKING THE MOST OF LAMB Housekeeper Will Find This Arrangement a Help to the Cutting of Her Bills. Every housekeeper is on the lookout to save in these days of high cost of living, especially in meats. Here is one way to save mutton or lamb. If, on Saturday, a forequarter of mutton or lamb is purchased, weighing from seven to ten pounds, it should be divided as follows: Shoulder, neck, breast, French chops, bones and trimmings. The shoulder is boned, pocket cut for filling, that makes the roast; stuffed shoulder of lamb or mutton for Sunday dinner and cut cold for Monday luncheon or supper. Then the neck is boiled with the shoulder bone and trimmings, making two quarts of lamb broth, to be used for soup for Monday's dinner. The meat is trimmed from the neck bones for lamb croquettes, meat salad or loaf. The breast is stewed, or curried with rice. The choicest part is left, that is, one dozen frenched lamb chops. Of course, you must be able to tell your butcher just how you want it cut and trimmed. The chops are frenched, chine removed, but the chops are not cut apart. That is left for the housekeeper to do, cutting just as needed. The trimmings from the chops are boiled with the neck and bones, strained, and when cold all fat is removed and clarified for drippings. From this forequarter you have the following dishes, always for four persons: Roast stuffed shoulder, hot for Sunday dinner. Roast stuffed shoulder, cold for Monday, with soup (two quarts for soup stock). Lamb croquettes or meat loaf for Tuesday Stewed or curried lamb for Wednesday. Lamb chops which can be kept for Thursday. POLISH FOR COFFEE BOILER By the Use of Oxalic Acid the Utenail May Be Kept in the Best of Condition. A shining copper hot-water boiler adds much to the appearance of a kitchen, as all housekeepers know. The boiler may be kept in a state of brilliancy by the use of a solution of oxalic acid and water. Five cents worth of the acid dissolved in a quart of warm water will last through many cleaning days. Best results are obtained by applying the solution to a warm boiler. After one application of the solution the boiler should be gone over with a cloth wring out in warm water and then polished with a dry cloth. The best part of the process is that no "elbow grease" is required. In a few minutes a dull, dingy boiler becomes bright and shining with but little effort. All copper articles not having a lacquered surface may be cleaned with this solution, and it also serves as a brass polish. Keep in a safe place, as oxalic acid is poison. Coconut Candy. Remove the shell from a half a cocoanut and shred or shave it with a silver knife. Spread it on dishes in the open door of an oven until it is soft and elastic. Dessicated cocoanut can be used instead, but the fresh sort is better. Then boil a cupful of molasses and a cupful of sugar, brown or white, a teaspoonful of vinegar and a tablespoonful of butter. When this is cooked enough so that it is brittle when dropped in cold water add the warmed cocoanut and pour into buttered dishes. Mark into squares when it is thick but before it is cold. Cheap and good. One cupful of molasses, two-thirds cupful of lard, two-thirds cupful sugar, two-thirds cupful hot water, one teaspoonful ginger, two dessert spoonfuls of soda and one dessert spoonful cream of tartar. Put the molasses in mixing bowl first, then add cream of tartar and soda. Add also a pinch of salt and flour to roll. Cut out and bake. Do not roll too thin. Crust for Chicken Pie. The ingredients are three cupfuls of sifted bread flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half cupful of lard and butter, one cupful of milk. Sift all dry ingredients together. Rub in the shortening with finger tips, then stir in the milk, using a fork and handling it lightly. As soon as combined place on floured board and with a rolling pin pat into the required size. Deviled Ham Rolls. Make light, rather rich pastry, roll thin and cut into squares of about four inches. Spread upon each square a small quantity of deviled ham, leaving about half inch around the edge uncovered. Molten the edges with cold water and roll each sheet of ham and pastry compactly, pressing the ends together, and bake. Cook beets the same as for the table, one quart of beets chopped fine, one quart of raw cabbage chopped fine, one capful grated horseradish as prepared for the table, one capful granulated sugar, one tablespoonful of salt, one teaspoonful black pepper. Vinegar enough to mix well. ```markdown ``` Phone, Bemont 2323 Large Padded Van WE CAN MOVE YOU AS REASONABLE AS PETER BARNEY MOVING AND EXPRESS Shipping and Storage.

RALSTON Secretary of Correspondence Department Moody Bibl institute, Chicago TEXT—And the word was made flesh.—John 1:14. Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.—Matt. 27:42. We will not have this man to reign over us.—Luke 19:14. The personality of Jesus Christ stands out as the world's greatest product, and that by the practically unanimous consent of all who have knowledge of him. The manifestations that belong to the human nature of Jesus Christ are admired and praised. He was a great teacher and exemplifier of the highest morals, of the most generous disposition even product, and that by the practically unanimous consent of all who have knowledge of him. The manifestations that belong to the human nature of Jesus Christ are admired and praised. He was a great teacher and exemplifier of the highest morals, of the most generous disposition even to the sacrifice of himself for his friends. But when claims are made beyond such manifestations, there are hesitation, denial, and, ultimately, either in thought or word, malice. He is despired and rejected of men. The Deity of Jesus Christ. The incarnation is denied—God did not become flesh, the person who stands before men is not God, only a man, very superior indeed, but nothing more than a man. When the proposition is made that he was not of human fatherhood, many who claim to be his friends, and even professed believers in his delity, at once object on the ground that this militates against his perfect humanity. In these things it must be remembered that if the claims that are made for the beautiful character of Jesus be allowed, we are forced to accept something beyond his mere humanity, for he said: "I and my father are one," and "He that hath seen me, hath seen the father." These statements are made in such connection that it is impossible to make them mean less than that Jesus Christ claimed to be God. If any record of Jesus Christ which enables men to speak of his beautiful character is to be believed, the record must be believed that he was born of the virgin, and that the holy thing that was born was of the Holy Ghost—otherwise the integrity of the biblical record as to the personality of Jesus Christ is properly challenged. The Death of Jesus Christ. Men said as Jesus hung on the cross, "Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him." That is simply another evidence of the offense of the cross. Many who study Jesus in the light of his death say that he entirely misunderstood his mission, that he became the victim of his folly and suffered a premature and unnecessary death, and in so doing deprived mankind of three scores or more years of a perfect life which might have regenerated the race. The offense of the cross has not eased to this day, and when Jesus, in his willing and purposeed death, suffered on Calvary, he invited the malice and hatred of all subsequent ages. The rash vow of the Jews: "His blood be upon us and our children," has kept that race in hatred of the cross, and all likewise who do not love that cross are in league with the Jews in their opposition to the Messiah. What has been the testimony of history as to the relative effect of the life or death of Jesus Christ? Secular history, even, proves to us that where men have accepted the salvation that was secured through the cross, they have risen to the highest morality, and to the highest social culture of the best sort. It was not the life of Christ that struck at the root difficulty, but the death. "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." Jesus said to Pilate: "I am a king." He came to establish a kingdom, of which himself should be the head, and the world's history would have been entirely different from what it has been if he had been accepted by the Jews at Jerusalem as their king when he made his triumphal entry. But there is something in the kingship of Jesus that seems at once to arouse antagonism, not simply among his enemies, but his professed friends. During his earthly life he was sensitive to his kingship, and at one time said that he could command twelve legions of angels and they would come to him. The cry of the citizens in the parable of the nobleman: "We will not have this man to reign over us," can be applied to the man of this day. Our view of Jesus as king cannot be complete until he rules as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. That manifestation must be at his second coming, when he shall execute judgment on his enemies. This kingly coming is misrepresented, maligned and hated, but it will be realized as certainly as the incarnation and the death on the cross. The deity, the sacrifice, the atonement, and the kingship of Jesus Christ always have and always were received by the world's hats. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Dewey Green, a fourteen-year-old colored boy of Tulsa county, is Oklahoma's champion cotton raiser. His exhibit was awarded first prize at the Oklahoma state fair, eastern Oklahoma fair at Muskogee and the Tulsa county fair. What this ambitious little colored boy accomplished has brought him into favorable notice of the state board of agriculture. Dewey Green resides with his father on a farm near Jenks, in the lowlands of the Arkansas river, which cannot be excelled in Oklahoma for cotton. He was enrolled in the Tulsa County Boys' Cotton club early last year. When it was announced that Dewey had decided to join the club the white boys in the club were inclined to view the advent of a Negro boy with dislike. "You won't get anywhere in a contest with the white boys," was the fling one boy took at Deewy. "You all Jes' wait till pickin' time and I'll show you who can grow cotton," was the rejoinder of the lad. On his one acre of cotton he made more money than did his father on forty acres of the same land adjoining. Not only was the yield unusually heavy, but in point of lint, number of bolls to the stalk and seed it outgraded anything shown in the three fairs. Dewey says he accomplished what he did by following out the instructions of the department of agriculture to the letter and by refusing to seek the shade when the torrid sun of July and August took all of the "play" out of experimental farming. Dewey has enrolled in the Boys' Corn club of Tulsa county and will go in for corn this year, as the disastrous luck attending the marketing of cotton owing to the war will have a tendency to eliminate cotton from the 1915 crops in Tulsa county. If anything, the Negro farmers of Tulsa county take more interest in the efforts of the government to promote scientific farming than the whites. They attend agricultural meetings and listen with rapt attention to all that is said. Many Negro farmers are going in for wheat, oats and alfalfa who until two years ago had never raised anything but cotton and corn. All who tried wheat and oats in 1914 made money. Where they have planted alfalfa they have for the first time in their lives gone in for hog raising. Maj. Robert Russa Moton, commandant of cadets at the Hampton institute, in making his appeal for the school, said: "As a result of Hampton's extension work, the Negro Organization society, a movement which grew out of Hampton institute, has succeeded in getting nearly two hundred thousand colored people in the state of Virginia during "clean-up week" last April, to clean up their premises, destroy breeding places for mosquitoes, flies, etc., thereby making possible better sanitary conditions for blacks and whites. "The workers at Hampton, led by its self-effacing principal, Doctor Frissell, are helping in a concrete fashion to bring peace on earth and good will toward men—black men, white men, northern men, and southern men—and helping toward a peace and good will which a very large part of the civilized world, at the present time at least, seems to have quite forgotten. This year Hongkong has exported $200,000 worth of peanuts to the United States. After hearing Frederick Douglas and Anna Dickinson speak at the first Southern Loyalist convention at Philadelphia, John Minor Botts, the famous Virginian political leader, said: "Today I have heard the greatest white woman and the greatest colored orator in America. I tell you, sir, if Douglas had been a white man he would have been regarded as one of the greatest men in America." "Well, sir," was the reply of his northern listener, "we regard him as one of the greatest men in our country, even though he is a colored man." After accepting office, Douglas virtually retired from the lecture field, and whenever he appeared in public made Republican speeches. Mr. Douglas died in Washington, December 10, 1895. Charles H. Summer of Goffstown, N. H., has an old clock, which is in a soapstone case, with dots for the hours and no numerals. The case stands about fourteen inches high. The works are peculiar, having double escapement with a straight verge and will run in any position. It is more than a century old. Speaking at New York in behalf of Hampton institute, Booker T. Washington praised the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations. "The work of these boards should be followed into our southern states, where the money that they have given is helping to make a new South and a new civilization," he said. "I wish that those in charge of these investigations could get into the South and trace the influence of the Rockefeller and Carnegie money in bringing about better supervision of the schools." Booker T. Washington was the principal speaker at the annual New York meeting in the interests of Hampton institute, Virginia, at Carnegie hall. Mr. Washington said: "The Hampton institute in Virginia, whose interests bring us here tonight, more than any single institution in the South has led the way for a higher and better civilization for both whites and blacks in the South, and the credit for this leadership is very largely due to the far-sighted, modest, unselfish, brave man, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, the principal of Hampton institute. "Aside from the millions of white people in the South, there are nine millions of black people. Taking the country as a whole, there are more black people in the United States than there are people in the Dominion of Canada, nearly as many as constitute the population of the whole of Mexico. We have enough Negroes in the United States to populate five of the smaller European countries, and then have two million remaining. "We can all congratulate ourselves that the United States congress refused a few days ago to enact that unjust law preventing more Negroes from coming into the United States. Such a law would have been unjust and needless." "While here and there we often have evidences of needless racial friction in the South, yet, when we consider what is going on in Europe, where the races are white, we may congratulate ourselves that in the South, where we have two races, different in color, that conditions are so peaceful and hopeful as they are, notwithstanding the wrongs that so frequently come to the surface. "The South just now is the most interesting place in which to live because there are so many changes taking place and so much work to be done. If the buildings of the school at Manassas need painting or repairing, the boys take care of it; all the children's shoes are kept in order, from a small patch to half soles and heels, by the young cobblers; the mattresses used in the dormitories are all made at the school; the washing for the entire school, as well as for the teachers, is done by the girls, as well as all the housework and cooking. In fact, there are few occasions when there is need to call in outside labor for a job of any sort. These boys and girls go back to their home towns or rural communities carrying with them the inspiration of skilled usefulness and ideals of better living, and the surrounding community is showing decided signs of this influence in most gratifying ways. The school comes also in touch with the people of the country round about through the Negro Agricultural, Educational and Industrial alliance, which meets three times a year at Manassas. This brings together the farmers, ministers, teachers and leaders of industrial work among the colored people to discuss their special problems, as well as the best cultivation of the soil, crops and stock, some building, school work, co-operation of home, school and church, and any other subject which presents itself as timely. A caterpillar's eyes can see nothing at a distance beyond two-fifths of an inch. Six women, leaders in local society, members of the Women's Charitable association, acted as pall bearers at the funeral at Punxutawney, Pa., of Mrs. Martha Thomas, an aged colored washwoman. The pall bearers were Mrs. James S. Lockard, Mrs. W. E. Porter, Mrs. T. C. Redding, Mrs. W. S. Sutter, Mrs. G. L. Shicker and Mrs. T. G. Alabran. The women agreed to bury the Negress when it was found that the body would be turned over to an anatomical society, and had an undertaker prepare the body for burial. When the body was about to be removed to the cemetery, the women found they had no pall bearers. They volunteered to act and the funeral proceeded. While digging potatoes in Hope, Ms. Arthur Hobart found one 12 by 18 inches in circumference, in which was a mouse nest, containing one old one and four little ones. The skin was left on the top like a trap door. A Chilean province has established two floating schools to enable the residents of its many islands to obtain an education. High-grade cattle fodder is a new French product from tomato seeds. The seeds are dried in a furnace, sifted to remove woody fiber, crushed by heated millstones, freed from oil in a hydraulic press and compressed into four-pound loaves. A striking illustration of the desire for education in Formosa is furnished by the fact that the English Presbyterian mission is founding a high school in Tainan which will cost $60,000. Toward this sum $20,000 has been contributed by non-Christian Chinese. ARGUS PUBLISHING COMPANY J. E. MITCHELL.....Managing Editor HERBERT T. MEADOWS.....City Editor and Advertising Manager F. F.

But the unwarranted attacks of the night rid the disgraceful outbreaks. It is not the first Negroes from the homes they worked in or build; the average Negro will run beaten. Impresses us most is the failure of the white man and the workers who had been faithful and hard years. Issue is not that the Negroes were willing institutions, or at wages, not satisfactory to the workers their privilege and their right. Issue is that they were not protected in that they did not be sent to the scene of trouble until every local means to quell the riot, and to come to the sheriff's aid. The employer so worked under conditions and at wages he not accept—the employers who profited by being to come to the sheriff's aid. The man, not the Negro, failed to do his duty that when the real test comes, we can chip off the white man. Our colored brothers of New Madrid proclaim the right to arm themselves in defense at war, and in defense of their constitutional heritage the pursuit of happiness." After this lapse of time since the New Madrid affair, we are able to take a calm, dispassionate view of the matter. One feature of the situation particularly impresses us. It is not the unwarranted attacks of the night riders; we are used to these disgraceful outbreaks. It is not the flight of the three hundred Negroes from the homes they worked long and hard to buy or build; the average Negro will run before he will fight. What impresses us most is the failure of the white men to stand by and defend the workers who had been faithful and loyal, some of them for years. The real issue is not that the Negroes were willing to work under conditions, or at wages, not satisfactory to the white workers. That is their privilege and their right. The real issue is that they were not protected in that right. The militia could not be sent to the scene of trouble until the sheriff had exhausted every local means to quell the riot, and the white men refused to come to the sheriff's aid. The employers of these Negroes who worked under conditions and at wages white workers would not accept—the employers who profited by this Negro labor, refused to come to the sheriff's aid. The white man, not the Negro, failed to do his duty. It only goes to show that when the real test comes, we cannot bank on the friendship of the white man. Meantime, our colored brothers of New Madrid probably forgot that it is the right to arm themselves in defense against these night riders, and in defense of their constitutional heritage of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." FOR THE GOOD OF THE RACE now we are being watched as never before as white population are upon us. Our worlance of ourselves, and our homes-all the of, to count for or against us. called "United Welfare Association," of whi issue—the group of real estate men who are segregation movement—this organization leads of petition circulators in the field seeeks, under the initiative, to bring the quest Right now we are being watched as never before. The eyes of the city's white population are upon us. Our words, our acts, the appearance of ourselves, and our homes—all these are being taken note of, to count for or against us. The so-called "United Welfare Association," of which we spoke in a recent issue—the group of real estate men who are behind this residential segregation movement—this organization is at work. It has hundreds of petition circulators in the field securing signatures. It seeks, under the initiative, to bring the question to popular vote. Henee we are being watched. Thousands of white people are being advised of the "Negro menace," as it is called. Consciously, or otherwise, their attention is directed toward us. Many who have been favorably disposed and many who have been wholly indifferent are going to receive new impressions and are going to form new opinions, because they are watching us as never before. With all this talk in the air, and all this agitation on foot, how could it be otherwise In view of this fact, then, it behooves us to put ourselves in the best possible light before the public. To this end, we suggest two or three points which it will be very wise for us to observe. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS DON'T BE DECEASED A. H.

JOHN H. GENTNER A PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE John H. Gentner, owner of the Retina, better known as the "20th Street Odeon," is the Republican candidate for Alderman in the 25th ward. That Mr. Gentner is in line for the Negro vote goes without saying; yet to print an extract of the letter he has sent out to voters will be appropriate at this time. In this communication Mr. Gentner explains his candidacy four years ago. He was prevailed upon to run in opposition to a candidate whom the people opposed. Beaten in the primary, he was requested to run independently; but refused, because, as he says: "In spite of the fact that such action would have been in keeping with the wishes of many voters, and the additional fact that we could have won easily, I advised them not to do it. I urged everybody to swing into line to fight the common enemy, and to do nothing to disrupt, or embarrass the Grand Old Party. "I want you to take these facts into consideration. Facts that I believe prove that I have always worked for harmony and for what is best for the party, even at the cost of my own aims and ambitions. "I have lived in the vicinity of the old and new Union Stations for twenty-five years, but two years ago I moved out in the 25th ward, the ward I hope to represent as Alderman, and I feel confident that if I get anything like the support the voters of the 6th ward gave me four years ago, the result of the coming primaries will show me to be the nominee. "Since it is impossible to meet you all personally, I take this means of telling you that any effort put forth in my behalf will be appreciated. I am not bound or obligated to any special interests, will recognize no masters but the will of the people and the taxpayers, and will do my best as a man and official to treat everyone with fairness and justice." Voters should be sure to not scratch the name of John H. Gentner, 25th Ward, at the primary next Friday. THE TRUTH ABOUT There are some men who have been tried, and of whom every Negro voter knows just what to expect. Julius Haller, candidate for Alderman in the 24th ward is one of the few men on the Republican ticket who is in this class. He is a real estate man, opposed to segregation, or any class legislation. He was one of the two men in a Republican Council, a few years ago, who supported Donavant, a Negro, for sergeant-at-arms to the last, against the Democrat that won. Naturally he supported Ralph Turner for the same position. He can be depended upon and every voter should see that his name is left unscratched on the ballot next Friday. Note carefully the 24th ward. KRALEMANN DENIES SEGRE GATION CHARGE Herman C. Kralemann, candidate for Board of Alderman from the 22nd Ward, was asked by the Argus this week if he was in favor of segregation and if it was true that he had opposed the Summer High School building. In reply he stated that he had never been, and would not be, in favor of segregation. Although he was enrolled as a member of the organization that opposed the High School, he had never attended their meetings, was not only not in accord with their actions, but had worked ardently in the interest of the school. He has no opposition in that ward, and will be nominated, but he wants the colored voters to know that they can rely upon his friendship all the time. NEGROES ORGANIZE NEW REPUBLICAN CLUB Representatives of the several wards in the city met in the hall at Channing and Pine Tuesday night and organized a Negro Political Club, to be known as the New Era Republican Organization.
