St. Louis Argus

MAYOR KIEL AGAINST RACE SEGREGATION In Strong Article to Argus Denounces Plan As Un-constitutional, Says He Will Veto Bill if It Comes to Him Mayor Henry W. Kiel, in a supplementary statement issued a few days ago, reiterated his stand in opposition to segregation, and when questioned by representatives of the daily press again pledged himself to take the stump against the segregation question if it ever becomes a campaign issue in St. Louis for or against its adoption. The Mayor makes the unqualified declaration that he will veto a segregation ordinance if such a proposed law ever reaches his office. The Mayor favors the adoption of the Central Parkway at the special election June 8, and explains his reasons for approving the big improvement. He declares that the parkway and segregation problems are separate and distinct, and should not be combined or confused in an effort to defeat the parkway. The segregation question at this time, the Mayor says, is being used as a bug-a-boo by opponents of the Central Parkway to cause the colored voters to vote against the parkway. Colored residents will be aiding their own cause by disregarding segregation arguments at this time presented by opponents of the parkway, he declares. The Mayor's official statement follows: "Since I outlined my stand last week opposing segregation, I have been questioned by representatives of the daily press: I was asked whether I had been correctly quoted, and to explain more fully my position on the segregation question if it ever comes to an issue in St. Louis. "I made my position as plain to them as possible, and reiterated my unqualified opposition to any law which does not give equal rights to all. "There is no quibble about my position on the question. I am openly with the colored residents on this question, and I do not propose to allow any such law to be placed on the city records while I am Mayor, if it is in my power to prevent it. "I favor the Central Parkway, because I believe it will be the greatest step forward St. Louis ever has taken. Many colored residents own property, and are deeply interested in building up this city. "It is with great regret that I find the question of race segregation has been injected into the Central Parkway campaign. "This issue has no connection with the parkway and should not have been brought up at this time, and, in fact, should not be brought up at all in this land of equal rights for all. "Opponents of the Central Parkway are using this segregation issue to try to defeat the ordinance to authorize the appointments of commissioners to ascertain the cost of the big improvement. The fixing of the cost and the manner of paying for the parkway virtually is the only issue in this parkway campaign. "The fears of our colored residents that the construction of the parkway would bring about a segregation movement are without foundation. Segregation and the parkway are entirely separate and distinct propositions. "If the parkway ordinance were defeated, it does not mean that those who are pushing the segregation question would drop it. It is now used as a scare to frighten colored people against the parkway. After the parkway problem is decided, the advocates of segregation will find some other argument to use to try to carry their point in the segregation matter. "I wish to say now, as I have already said on several occasions, that I am opposed to the enactment of a law providing for the segregation of colored people. If such a measure designed to carry out such a move ever reaches my office, I will promptly attach my veto to it. "If the segregation question ever reaches the stage of a campaign issue for or against its adoption, I pledge myself to 'take the stump' and make speeches opposing it if it becomes necessary to defeat it. "But even if a segregation law be finally adopted in St. Louis, I am confident it never would become effective. It would without doubt be declared unconstitutional by the courts and promptly thrown out, on the ground that it violates the sovereign rights of citizens by drawing the color line. Such a law could not endure here, and would perish in short order." "The real question to be determined June 8 at the parkway election is whether commissioners shall be appointed by the Circuit Court to definitely fix the cost of the parkway and the manner of paying for it. "You want to know what the parkway will cost. I want to know. Every citizen in St. Louis wants to know. All the residents of this city are entitled to know definitely the cost and the amount of their assessments to pay for it. "When the commissioners ascertain the cost, and fix the exact payments of each property owner, it will do away with future wild estimates and guesses, and will give an exact basis for future action. "If the cost proves excessive, the city can abandon the parkway entirely. The property in the entire parkway strip is assessed at $4,100,000. Advocates of the parkway say it can be built for not to exceed $7,500,000. Opponents have estimated the cost at $15,000,000. "I pledge myself, is behalf of the city, to dismiss the condemnation proceeding and abandon the parkway if the cost is found by the commissioners to be more than $10,000,000. "A material portion of the negro population are property owners, and are vitally interested in the parkway and its cost. "The parkway is a necessity, and is not a luxury. The colored voters owe it to themselves and their families to inform themselves fully on the need of a parkway. "One of the chief purposes of the parkway is to solve our traffic problems. The streets are the life of the city. Good streets and good street connections build cities. The parkway will make a wider thoroughfare from the congested downtown district along the main lines of travel east and west, connecting the main highways north and south. It will tie St. Louis together and let it grow as a unit. "The parkway will mean more playgrounds, recreational facilities, and athletic fields for the people. Bandstands, swimming pools, tennis courts, gymnasiums, and meeting halls will be provided in the various blocks between Jefferson and Grand Avenue. "The parkway would be the first big improvement in building a greater St. Louis. Let every voter work together for the success of the parkway by voting 'yes,' and authorize the fixing of the coast." District Manager, E. Hawkins, Bright Future For Agents That the Clover Leaf Casualty Co., of Jacksonville, Ill, is forging its way to the front and in the hearts of St. Louisans is becoming more evident every day. It was the writer's pleasure to call at the local office, located at 2359 Market St., a few days ago, and finding an opportunity to speak at some length with the District Manager, Mr. E. Hawkins, relative to the operation of this company in the city. Mr. Hawkins, who was very busy, said that all he wishes to be concerning the company was that they were paying their claims and forging to the front. And as evidence of that fact he pulled from a drawer a list of claims that had been paid through the local office about eight feet long with the names of a large number of business and professional men, and in fact men and women of all classes who had been disabled and had been benefited by receiving their money promptly. When asked what he thought of other companies doing the same kind of business among colored people, Mr. Hawkins produced a list of ten agents directly under him who are employed by the Clover Leaf, and said, "Where is another company in this city that has as many colored men employed?" The Clover Leaf is making places for our men. They have a young woman employed as clerk and cashier, a very responsible position, which she fills with credit. "I have nothing to say against any other company. I am a booster and have no time to knock." A knocker, never-wrong anything by knocking." We found Mr. Hawkins very optimistic on the question of the future for optored insurance agents in this city and said that though the company was always willing to promote and encourage the agents to go to other cities where they might have full charge of a district, he was loath to give up anyone of his force on account of the peace and harmony that exist among them at present. Y. W. C. A. NOTES On Friday evening Mr. Wm. Pickens spoke at Central Baptist Church to a large and appreciative audience. His subject, "Fifty Years of Emancipation," was treated in a masterly style. Our M. C. C. Club gave a "Mask Party" Saturday evening and about fifty young people were present and spent a very pleasant evening after which refreshments were served. The Third Anniversary Services of Wheatley Branch were held at St. Pauls A. M. E. Church Sunday afternoon. Mr. Ames, of the Church Federation of St. Louis, made a most interesting address. NEW BUSINESS MEN'S ASS'N. A new association of business men was organized May 7 at 10 N. Compton.

Methodist Congregation Holds Big Celebration and Re-Union of Its Membership, With Representatives From Sister M. E. Churches in Honor of His Return to Pastorate of Church for the Eighth Consecutive Year. Dr. B. F. Abbott was signally honored by a brilliant reception and church family reunion held Wednesday, May 5, in response to the confidence and esteem in which he is held by his congregation, and the entire Methodist Episcopal Church, also in full appreciation of his return to the pastorate of Union Memorial Church for the eighth year. The whole affair was carried out according to careful and painstaking plans of the Woman's Home Missionary-Society. The splendid program, presided over by Miss Arsania M. Williams, consisted of ringing welcomes from every department of the church, interspersed with bright, sparkling music by the choir and Methodist Brotherhood. Minute-greetings from the pastors of sister M. F. churches were embellished with pleasing compliments on Dr. Abbott's worth and merit, not only to Union Memorial, but to the entire Methodism, as well as to the community. At the conclusion of the welcome from the Mothers' Circle, a huge bouquet of pure white flowers was presented by Mrs. Lulu C. Austin, the president, to Dr. Abbott, typical of the purity of his character and his clean record in the church. Following the introduction of Dr. Abbott by Mrs. Millie Kingcade, president of the Woman's Home Missionary Society, a committee headed by Mrs. Louis Simms presented Dr. Abbott a purse of a handsome sum with which to purchase a suit and other accessories. Mrs. Lawless made the pleasing presentation speech. When Dr. Abbott rose to respond, a demonstration in five minutes ovation, such as has never before been witnessed in the auditorium of Union Memorial Church, was made by the large enthusiastic membership assembled. The very walls seemed to re-echo the sounds of welcome. Dr. Abbott responded in his usual characteristic, modest manner, accepting the confidence and hearty good will of his congregation, acknowledging that he was put under new responsibility to them, and renewed his pledge to measure up to the fullest possibility of fitness and efficiency. A processional, "Love Divine," ensued, all marching to the artistically decorated dining hall, where willing hands served the choice delicacies that had been prepared by the large efficient committee of the Woman's Home Missionary Society. ATTENTION! Camp Corp. Wm. L. White, Dept. of Potomac, held their regular monthly meeting Tuesday. Commander Wm. Butler tendered his resignation on account of much business that calls him from the city. The camp regrets to lose such a leader, though the camp can boast that we have one past Camp Commander and hope some day he will rank as Dept. Commander of the Potomac or one that we will form west of the Mississippi River. In his retiring remarks, Commander Butler stated that he was ready to do as much boosting and pushing for the camp as he had done in the past. Senior Vice Commander Tuggel was unanimously elected to fill the un-required term. The whole camp hopes to see Adjt. Louis J. Mills and Q. M. Clements, who have given proficient service, retained until they wish to hold the high honor of commander. The watchword of the camp is Onward. parkway. For the parkway is to solve our the life of the city. Good streets cities. The parkway will make ingested downtown district along west, connecting the main high- St. Louis together and let it more playgrounds, recreational fa- people. Bandstands, swimming and meeting halls will be pro- jen Jefferson and Grand Avenue. First big improvement in building potter work together for the suc- ves, and authorize the fixing of "Henry W. Kiel, Mayor." B. H. Mosby And Brother Threaten Argus Editor B. H. Mosby And Brother Threaten Argus Editor Tries To Intimidate the Press By Bullying Tactics Ben H. Mosby, teacher of history at the Sumner High School, and his brother are both out after the scalp of the editor of the St. Louis Argus. They are incensed at the Argus because we dared to tell the truth about the bad influences at Sumner, and are breathing out threatenings against the journal and its editor. Last Friday, while collecting papers at the store of the Jones Drug Company at N, Market and Pendleton, Editor Mitchell's attention was attracted by a freazied voice crying out: "You are the piece of humanity I am going to get. I am going to fix you." Upon looking up the editor recognized Mosby as the speaker. Mitchell stated that he was not looking for trouble but was attending to his business and was not thinking about Mosby. Whereupon Mosby retorted: "Don't make little of what I say or I'll do it now." Upon being invited to get busy by Mitchell, Mosby stopped advancing and a police officer, who had been quietly looking on all the while, interfered and prevented a combat. About eight o'clock Friday evening the half brother of Mosby rushed into the Argus office and asked to see Mitchell. Upon being informed that he was addressing that gentleman, he proceeded to threaten him. He said, "I warn you to let this High School matter drop where it is. Mosby is my brother and I warn you by the unwritten law not to let his name appear in your paper again." He was informed by the editor that the Argus would say what it thought about the matter so long as it told the people the truth about the situation. Mosby and his brother seemed to have become incensed at an article appearing in the last issue of the Argus concerning the bad conditions which exist at Sumner High School. There has been bad blood on the part of Mosby for the Argus for some time because of its efforts to tell the truth on those teachers whose usefulness has long since been outlived. This is the second attempt of Mosby to use bully tactics with the Argus. His former effort was at the football game last Thanksgiving, when he ordered the Argus reporter from the field. The Argus repeats here, what it has said before. It bears no malice toward Mosby or any other person, but it is interested in the public schools and in the moral, civic and political betterment of the citizens of St. Louis, especially the Negro citizens, and will continue to speak out the truth at all times about any matter of public interest in spite of the bully tactics or threats of Ben Mosby, his brother or any other person. Entertainment At Union Memorial Hail, Orpheus; Thou Mythic Musician and Poet: We Greet Thee! This god of the muses will be delightfully represented, at Union Memorial Church, Leffingwell and Pine, Monday, May 17, 1913. Some of the city's sweetest singers and most forceful dramatic readers will do his biddings. The features that are distinctly unique and picturesque are: the singing and pantomiming of Negro Folk music, the singing of plantation melodies by a male quartette of rare musical ability, and the reproduction of the third act, of Hamlet by Mr. James Hutt and others. The entertainment is under the auspices, and for the benefit of the Sunday-school. Program Hymn—"Now the day is over." Invocation—Dr. B. F. Abbott.

Special Dances Draw Admiration. Classic Exhibition Amazes Whites. Studio to Remain Open. Special Dormitory for Out of Town Students. The camera alone might picture a review of the big artistic triumph at Dreamland last Monday night, but mere words alone must fail. Never before has so large an cosmology graced a ball room floor. Long before the grand march started the beautiful dance palace was well filled and a thousand of these patrons were there when the last strains of the Home Waltz died away. There was everything that goes to make up class and a fulsome display of rich and elegant costumes. In fact, Dreamland never saw a more fashionable gathering. Miss Jeannette Mack and all who assisted in this artistic success can well feel proud. The entire program was carried out with a finesse that was delightful to behold and the city is ringing with the praises for this lady, who has introduced the real art-de-terpsichore on such a lofty plane. The program opened with four classic numbers-by the Harmony Orchestra, under the leadership of Eugene R. White. Too much credit can not be given Mr. Flowers, whose assistance had much to do with the success of the orchestra and enabled its young leader to participate in one of the special dances. After the Grand March and a waltz, the exhibition program was carried out. These numbers were all of the highest artistry and excited the admiration and applause of the big audience as the dancers glided and whirled through the difficult steps and twirling evolutions. Especially brilliant was the work of Little Lina May Daugherty, who led San Toy; Adolph Angelus, in the Frolic; Miss Emma Julia Kean, in Ali Gadtano; Miss Verna Dean Clemmons, in Wild Bird Mazurka and Mrs. Grace Key Carlton and Thomas Hubbard, in the Love Moon Waltz. Mr. Hubbard came from Chicago to take Mr. Turnquest's place in this number and mastered his part in two hours. The guests took well to the regular program and at times the spacious pavilion was crowded with dancers. It was undeniably the grandest of all grand affairs, a credit to society, and an inspiration to higher ideals. It will have a telling effect not alone on the Colored people who were fortunate enough to be present; but the 200 or more white guests from the city's wealthiest families who were amazed by its classic exhibition. MISS MACK'S STUDIO TO REMAIN OPEN Miss Jeanneette Mack announces that her Studio for Dancing, at 3330 Lawton, will remain open during the summer. The children's classes will continue every Saturday Patrons who desire to join the classes for summer courses should enroll at once. Special attention will be given to those who desire private lessons. Ladies from out of town who wish to take a summer course, that will qualify them to teach the art in their home towns, can live at the dormitory especially arranged for them.

TEXT-I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne—Rev Earl The Bible represents God as a king upon his throne. About' the throne are the angels, the courtiers of heaven. They appear in graded ranks, "principalities and powers, mights and dominions;" there is an "archangel, and there are some who "stand in the presence of God." PETER H. We believe that these facts are of practical value for our daily life. 1. We are known at court. In the book of Esther (6:1) we are told how the records were brought to King Ahasuerus one night when he was sleepless. He found therein an account of a great service rendered to him by Mordecal, the Jew, and Mordecal fared well because his name was in the annals of the Persian court. How may we rejoice that our names are "written in heaven" (Luke 10:20; Hebrews 12:23), and, more specifically, "in the book of life" (Phil. 5:3). Ahasuerus asked, "What shall be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor?" And we may inquire. What shall be done to the man whom the King of kings delighteth to honor? 2. We are served by heavenly courtiers. "Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" A Remarkable Experience. When Philip Doddridge, the noted espositor and hymn writer, was a boy, he fell from a horse and people pronounced it a miracle that he was not killed. Late in life he dreamed he had died and gone to heaven. He was taken into a gallery of pictures exhibiting scenes from his early life, and lo! here was set forth the almost forgotten event of his boyhood. But in the picture he saw one figure whose presence had not been thought of before; a mighty angel was shown, bearing him up in his hands as he fell from the horse, lest he be dashed against the stones. How may we rejoice that he gives his angels charge over us, and can tell how many wondrous deliverances and unexpected ministries have been wrought by angelic hands! Their blessed ministry not only pursues us through life, but blesses us at death. "The beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom." One suggests that they may have taken Lazarus around by the Milky Way on his journey home. Matthew Henry quaintly says: "One angel one would think sufficient, but here are more, as many as were sent for Elijah. Amasis, king of Egypt, had his charlot drawn by kings, but what was that honor to this? Saints ascend in the virtue of Christ's ascension; but this convoy of angels is added for state and decorum—what were the bearers at the rich man's funeral, though probably those of the first rank, compared with Lazarus' bearers? The angels were not shy of touching him, for his sores were on his body, not on his soul; that was presented without spot or wrinkle or any such thing." 3. We instruct these heavenly courtiers. Paul tells us that God's gracious work for us through Christ is "to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in the heavenly places might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God" (Eph. 3:10). Earth teaches heaven about the "variegated" wisdom of God. Angels learn in us how God can be just and yet Justify the ungodly! In the cross they find the answer to the question and marvel and adore. When Christ came and was rejected by the world, with what wonderment they must have seen him begin to gather from that world of rebels a "people for his name," who should be his own body and bride. They behold a blasphemous, slave-dealing sailor named John Newton, so transformed that he begins to sing: How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear; It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds. And drives away his fear. The love and grace of God is displayed to angelic eyes on the background of a world of sinners. 4. We shall be received at court. "Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God" (Luke 12:8). Suppose we know we would one day be received by the king of England. How would we practice the graces becoming the king's presence? Are we wearing the garments of salvation? Are we learning the language of Canaan? Are we walking "worthy of the vocation wherein we are called?" To secure wealth is hard, to keep it is harder, but to spend it wisely is hardest of all—Bishop Berry. Learn what thou art able, fit and apt unto, and follow it.—Ascham (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IL.) LESSON FOR MAY 16 DAVID SPARES SAUL LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 26:5-16 GOLDEN TEXT—Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you—Luke 6:27. Professor Beecher gives 1065 B. C. as the date of this lesson and the death of Samuel. Saul had been on the throne 37 years and David was twenty-seven years of age. There are ten famous episodes between the lesson of last week and that of today. (1) David and the shew-bread; (2) Goliath's sword; (3) David feligns madness (ch. 21); (4) The cave of Adulam; (5) His care of his parents; (6) The killing of the priests (ch. 22); (7) Wandering in the wilderness (ch. 23); (8) The cutting of Saul's robe (ch. 24); (9) Nabal's churlishness, and (10) Abigall's kindness (ch. 25). It might be well to have one scholar give a summary of each of these events. 1. David and Ablehal, vv. 5-7. Once before, the Ziphites had informed Saul as to David's whereabouts (23:19). Learning that Saul evidently intended to follow him into the wilderness (v. 4), David sent spies to learn the exact location of Saul and the 3,000 men under command of Abner. Abner was a cousin of Saul, a brave man with a remarkable history. Unwittingly they had placed themselves in David's power, and that for a second time (24:3-8). Like the camp of the Midianites which Glideon visited, Saul and his men were scattered about sleeping "within the place of the wagons" (v. 5 R. V.), with Saul in the center, the spear marking his resting place and the bolster beneath his head. Doubtless Saul trusted Abner's protection, but no arm of flesh can save or protect a sinful man. From a neighboring rock David and his friends could distinguish the spear and the outlines of the camp. David's challenge was directed to both of his companions. Ahimelech, the Hittite, declined the summons, whereas Abshal, David's nephew who had already proved himself in the affair at the well (II Samuel 23:13-16) and later became a leading figure in David's kingdom, accepted the challenge. II. David and Saul, vv. 8-12—Abishal was quite right that God had delivered Saul into David's hand (v. 8), but he was wrong in his conclusion as to what that meant. God delivered Saul that he might, if possible, save him. It was a challenge that tested David's magnanimity, his sense of honor and also an event wherein he could appeal to Saul's honor. Abishal's anger is evident, from his words, "I will not smite him the second time." There was ample provocation, but David recognized in this experience the hand of God, nor would he profit by another's hand upraised "against the Lord's annotated" (v. 9). A conscience less keen could have found an excuse for allowing another to strike a blow to his own profit. Saul was rejected of Jehovah, yet David preferred to let Jehovah execute his own decrees (ch. 24:15 cf. Pa. 105:15). III. David and Abner, vv. 13-16. Returning to his vantage point, doubtless the brow of a hill on the opposite side of the valley, a point of safety, David awakened the sleeping camp. Abner replied, "Who art thou?" This cry sounds strangely like the present-day replies to the challenge of our David when a sleeping camp of sin is aroused. This call came at night. When our King shall return his visit will be unexpected and at night (I Thess. 5:24; Rev. 16:15). It would seem like a humiliation for this proud, haughty general, Abner, to be taunted by David (v. 15). As chief officer he was responsible for the king's safety and his life. David therefore might welf reproach and chide him, for his lack of fidelity was worthy of death. When Saul was thoroughly awake to the fact of David's visit to his camp and the fact that his life had been spared, he was moved to another one of his moments of repentance (vv. 17-21). IV. The Result, vv. 17:25. David's address to Saul, is a remarkable one. He first appeals to reason (v. 18) and desires to know what, if any, fault he has committed. He next challenges the motives which impelled Saul. Was it God who sent him on this journey or was it the evil counsel of men (v. 19)? If this latter then let God deal with them according to their just deserts. And, finally, David uses the two similes of a sea and a partridge as evidence of his humility, his inoffensiveness, his harmlessness (Luke 14:11). Every sinner who fights against God and against his annotated one "plays the fool" and will sooner or later, like Saul, awaken to the fact that he has "arred exceedingly." David did not undertake his own deliverance and "the Lord delivered him out of all his troubles" (v. 24; Pu. 18). David's last message to Saul was he hade them to send for his spear was a declaration of innocence and a prayer that God would give him safety even as Saul's life had been spared. Saul's final word was a blessing and Prompt Service Phone NO ONE CAN MOVE PETER Phone, Bemont 2323 AN MOVE YOU AS REASO ETER BARNE MOVING AND EXPRESS Second-Hand Clothing FULL LINE OF SPRING AND SUMMER SUITS & PANTS, CHEAP Suits For Rent.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION THE MAYOR'S POSITION In a statement issued a few days ago, Mayor Kiel has made clear his position with regard to segregation. In unmistakable words he takes his stand in opposition to segregation. His position is based primarily upon his "unqualified opposition to any law which dges not give equal rights to all." This reason alone would be sufficient to justify the Mayor's stand. But more than this, he declares himself to be, and in words and acts has always shown himself to be, the friend of the Negro. Mayor Kiel goes further and declares himself in favor of the Central Parkway. He believes it would be a benefit, not only to the city, but to the Negroes. He expresses his regret that the segregation question should be injected into the Parkway matter and declares it to be a bit of political trickery on the part of the Parkway opponents who seek to set up segregation as a scare-crow to frighten the Negro away from the Parkway project. The Mayor holds out much encouragement to the St. Louis Negro in two or three of his statements. He says: "There is no quibble about my position on the question. I am openly with the colored residents on this question, and I do not propose to allow any such law to be placed on the city records while I am Mayor, if it is in my power to prevent it." Again, he says: "If the segregation question ever reaches the stage of a campaign issue for or against its adoption, I pledge myself to 'take the stump' and make speeches opposing it, if that becomes necessary to defeat it." As further encouragement and advice the Mayor adds: "Colored residents will be aiding their own cause by disregarding segregation arguments at this time presented by opponents of the Parkway." And, "The fears of our colored residents that the construction of the Parkway would bring about a segregation movement are without foundation. Segregation and the Parkway are entirely separate and distinct propositions." We have printed the Mayor's complete statement in another column, and we want every Negro in St. Louis to read and digest it. It is the most splendid defense we have yet had during this siege of calumny, injustice and attempted discrimination. We commented last week on the stand taken in our favor by a prominent white lady and published in that issue. But far more important and effective is this statement from the official head of the city. We repeat—these two cases are not isolated. There are hundreds of white people, high in the social and political world, who are our friends and who stand for equal rights and justice. The lesson to us is very clear: First, we must so conduct ourselves, in all our social relations—in manner, speech and ways of living—as to merit a continuance of the confidence, respect and friendship of white people of prominence. Second, in our political affiliations and activities, we must mahifest our confidence and trust in those who have our civic interests at heart. We must work for them as they are working for us. Let us be with those who are for us, rathen than with those who are against us. OUR INCONSISTENT PRESIDENT Someone has said, "Inconsistency, thy name is woman." Had this philosopher lived in our day and land, he would have said, "Inconsistency, thy name is Wilson." But what can we expect? Just as it is inconsistent to try to fit a square peg in a round hole, so is it inconsistent to take a musty scholar off the shelf and put him into the turmoil of political life. Of all the Wilsonian inconsistencies, here is the worst. In his Philadelphia speech the other day occurred this jewel: "I am very thankful that this country has the word 'United' in its title; and the man who seeks to divide man from man, group from group, interest from interest, in the United States, is striking at its very heart." W. Wilson, thou maker of beautiful phrases—thou juggler of words—thou rhetorical diplomat! Who first sought, under the present administration, "to divide man from man, group from group"? Who first divided colored Americans from white Americans in the Federal departments at Washington? Who first instituted separate wash rooms, lunch rooms and work rooms in the great American administrative offices? Who first sought to divide colored mail clerk from white mail clerk on American railways? Who first divided colored "interests" from white "interests," and then proceeded utterly to ignore the colored interests. Who? Wilson, the language contortionist! Who, then, is foremost in the United States at "striking at its very heart"? Let his own words convict him. We had always supposed that any man in the United States, guilty of "striking at its very heart," was a traitor. Mr. President, we rise to a question of information: "Is Wilson a traitor?" --- EAST KINLOCH IS A SUBDIVISION OF THE JONES FARM AND IS SITUATED ON THE LIX ROAD AND CARSON ROAD.

DUNBAR SCHOOL IS BUILT ON EAST KINLOCH SUBDIVISION OF JONES FARM. Ask yourself the question whether or not the Trustees of this school would build up such a fine building on this ground if there was a shadow of doubt as to a clear title. You know they must have had Mr. Invesco as a good lawyer. The East Kinloch Sales Co., in offering these lots, wants you to eradicate from your memory any such false ideas that may have been created. We want you to build up a community of interests in this section of the country that will be a credit.

The Trust Company of St. Louis County will give you a Warranty Deed to these lots when half paid for. Can you get better title than from a Trust Company? The East Kinloch Sales Co., in making this public declaration, hopes it will not be necessary to revive from time to time the statement above made and warns any person against creating false ideas as to the title of this land.

Zion Church is still making headway in the great work it first started out to do. Sunday morning the people flocked from every quarter of the city to listen to the fiery gospel sermons from their eloquent Pastor, Dr. B. G. Shaw. The pastor seemed to have exhibited more than ordinary strength as a pulpitereer Sunday morning and evening; so powerful was his sermon Sunday night that fourteen people united with the church. The pastor will close his series of sermons on the "Life of Moses" Sunday morning; Sunday night he will preach about "A letter from the penitentiary" and the choir will sing, "Where is my wandering boy to night?" The Metropolitan choir, under the direction of Prof. Robert Austin, is singing to the delight of all those who gather in beautiful Zion. If you want your voice cultured, see Mr. Austin in his studio at the Metropolitan Church. 3 P| Say 4 el — ey to ew a Bes 4 rn a a om 2 ye ae ee ae soTea EMER VT WR TEeENO Pee LR Seay Ie gic ae “6 ; ees x REE c __ AND LOCAL NOTES : ieeean é MARRIAGE LICENS| a eee ane a ae as ie f aust: “ania ly , \ Ss Se tiny ee]: Pa, oe each week, Out.of-town correspoed-|i70o° iii dee, eats mast; seed their’ news so as tal oo” is, 2925 Lawton. * Me. mot later than Tussday| Mary Silva, 3131 Lawton, Goon ‘Editor, | Geo.

LOUIS BIRDIE BEAL, PIONEER LADY EMBALMER A long stride of progress in the proper direction has been made by Birdie Beal, and she is deserving of the cordial encouragement of all the members of her race and sex. Miss Beal is the only colored lady embalmer in the city of St. Louis or state of Missouri, having successfully passed the required examination before the Board of Examiners in November, and is prepared to render first-class service to ladies. Having been well trained and having been authorized by the commonwealth, she must indeed be competent, and those who avail themselves of her services may rest assured that she will faithfully and intelligently perform her duties in a thoroughly womanly manner. Miss Beal wishes to thank her many friends for the service rendered in trying to protect her race and sex. Miss Beal, since completing the course, has opened as lady undertaker at 2726 Lucas Avenue, connected with her father, A. L. Beal, and has had charge of eighteen lady funerals, which was very much satisfaction to the deceased families. Open day and night. Central 5048; carriages furnished for all occasions. Bomont 2726. A.

Double-Header Sunday Next Sunday the Giants will stage a double-header at Kuebler's Park. They will face the Missouri Life Insurance Club and The Darringtons. The first game will start at 1:15. Both teams are said to be strong and expect to make Charlie Mills' team extend itself The game between the Southern Illinois Giants and the St. Louis boys proved to be a big joke last Sunday. A big crowd saw our stars slaughter the boys from Cairo to the tune of 35 to 0. No one was disappointed but Mills. He thought he had a strong toe, and went to a big expense to get them here. The spectators enjoyed the slugtest. Mills called off the games scheduled for Monday and Tuesday and sent the boys back to their own home town. Atter Sunday's double-header all the strongest Colored teams in the country are scheduled to face the Giants. The list will include The Nebraska Indians, West Baden Spruedels, Memphis Giants, Omaha Stars, Chicago Leland Giants, Lincoln Giants at N.Y., and the American Giants of Chicago.

DANDY SHOW AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON Too Sweets, Sam Davis, Laura Bailey, Venable-Owens Trio on Big Bill A happy combination of good talent contributes to the Booker Washington bill this week. Sam Davis does well with his rapid fire monologue of humorous sayings and his song numbers. The Too Sweets make a big hit in their kid impersonations. Willie is as comical as ever and Lula is still a big favorite in her baby acting. By request she is again singing her famous song, "I'm So Glad My Mama Don't Know Where I'm At." They do considerable dancing and are scoring nicely. Laura Bailey is a delightful big surprise as a single. Her voice is being displayed with good effect. She has a rich line of new jokes and takes the house by storm with her feature number, "My Tango Man," in which she does an ingenious dance with a dummy. Venable, Owens and Harper form a classy trio. Their act is filled with excellent singing, new jokes and a wealth of good dancing. Mr. Harper is especially artistic in his acrobatic buck dance. Miss Owens has a rich soprano voice and Miss Venable does well in singing and dancing. The combination is of rare good quality.
