LaSalle St. The St. Louis Argus CRYSTAL CITY Letters and telephone messages are pouring in upon Rev. B. G. Shaw, manager of Crystal City, congratulating him upon giving the people such a splendid place where they can take their families and enjoy themselves and be unmolested. Dr. Shaw, in return, wishes to thank the people for the appreciation of the effort he has put forth to give the people of St. Louis a real place of amusement and enjoyment. He will write each person a letter after his busy season. Crystal City is to the colored people of St. Louis what Delmar Garden is to the whites. It was said by one of the sergeants of the police department that he had never seen a higher and more orderly class of people in any large gathering such as Crystal City. Dr. Houser, of Louisville, Ky., a prominent physician, who is the guest of Prof. Frank L. Williams, principal of Sumner High, was a visitor at Crystal City Monday night and said: "I have never seen anything carried on in such an elaborate way as a church entertainment." He thought it wonderful. Prof. Frank L. Williams, after taking in the whole situation, said: "I have heard many criticisms of Crystal City, but I am glad that I find none of the things here that would cause any such criticism." The Crystal City is certainly appreciated by the people of our city and because of its growing popularity, they have asked that it be a permanent summer resort, so the manager is considering the request and most likely will continue to run Crystal City through the month of August. TERPSICHOREAN GARDEN QUIET AND RESPECT- ABLE PLACE The Terpsichorean Garden, at 4267 West Belle, is being conducted as quietly and respectably as a parlor social. Manager Ogden has a very artistic outdoor-amusement place and although there is dancing every evening, so inconspicuous is the place that one would hardly be able to locate it were it not for the music. Only the best people are numbered among its patrons and several dates have been engaged for club parties during the summer. IMPERIAL CAFE CHANGES HANDS Payne and Neviles have purchased the Imperial Cafe, at Fairfax and Sarah, and will continue to conduct a high-class catering service, with regular meals and lunches at all hours. The cafe will be open from 5:30 a.m. until 1 a.m., and the new proprietors solicit the public patronage. RICE AND THOMFSON TO RE-OPEN SILVER GRILL Rice and Thompson are preparing to reopen Silver Grill at 2321 Market Street. They have purchased all new fixtures and will have an entirely new stock. Mr. Rice was formerly connected with the Grill in its early days and is well known. TURPIN CONTEST CASE The Chas. H. Turpin, contest for Constable, case was heard before Judge Rassieur, of the Circuit Court, Wednesday. All the evidence is in and a decision is expected in a few days. AN INVITATION The City Federation cordially invites the citizens to meet Mrs. Mary B. Talbert and daughter and Madame C.-J. Walker, Friday, July 16, at 8:00 p.m., sharp, at St. Paul's. Admission, 25 cents. NEW FERGUSON CAFE OPENS WITH BIG PATRONAGE The new Ferguson Cafe, at Jefferson and Lawton, opened last Sunday with a big patronage. Mr. Ferguson plans to make this new cafe and the adjoining lunch room the best in the city. The arrangements are being complied to give all classes of service from the inexpensive lunch to the most pretentious banquet. A large soda fountain is in connection and all the popular deficacies are to be had ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,JULY 16,1915. LABORERS WEARY OF WAR BRITISH WORKMEN TO DEMAND CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES. Things That Make War Possible Must Be Wiped Out of Existence Declares Leader. London, July 15.—"British workingmen today are shedding their blood in the trenches and are working hand in hand with the government to save the nation. But when the fighting is over, British labor will say to the government: "We want no more wars—and the things that make wars possible must be wiped out!"" Ramsey McDonald, member of parliament and leader of the Independent labor party, made this emphatic statement to the United Press. McDonald scouted at the possibility that English workingmen would fight enforced enrolment in the army if conscription ever became necessary by a national strike. They would oppose conscription with every argument in their power, he said, but would not resort to any violent methods if they were overruled. "British labor realizes that the government is in difficulty and must be helped out," said McDonald. "We must forget past troubles and look to the future by helping the government fight for its existence." "Do you mean that labor henceforth will overlook all its industrial grievances and postpone possible strikes until after the war?" he was asked. "For the present labor is forced to give in; it is inevitable," was his reply. Miners Discuss Edict. Cardiff, July 15.—The South Wales Miners' Federation met to discuss the government's announcement that the war munitions act will be invoked if necessary to prevent a strike of 50,000 coal miners interfering with the production of ammunition. Delegates from the Neath district announced before the session opened that the miners in that region would continue at work pending the government's action for arbitration. SUGAR TRUST "TO BE GOOD" New Head of Company Has Certain Ethical Ideas Said to Be Better Than Ability. Chicago, July 15—The man who made the National Biscuit company a big success was elected president of the American Sugar Refining company. He is Earl D. Babst. With his direction of the sugar company, an era of "trying to be good" will be inaugurated. The choice of Babst., according to Chicago friends, was based not only on proved business ability, but on certain ethical ideas which he is said to entertain concerning methods of management of great corporations. Up to four months ago Babst was vice-president of the National Biscuit company, and previously its general counsel. The National Biscuit company has never been attacked by the government. It has got along amicably with its competitors and in other ways its history is said to form a contrast to that of the "sugar trust." WARSHIP NOW MERCHANTMAN Steam Bark Pelican, Now at New York for Cargo, Took Part in Attack on Alexandria. New York, July 15—An odd-looking ship forced into the merchant service by the insistent demand for more vessels reached here with the arrival of the steam bark Pelican, formerly the sloop of war of the same name in the British navy. Recently a mother ship for submarines and a converted whaler came to New York for cargoes. The Pelican was built by the British admiral in 1877. She is of the same class as the ship Condor, aboard which Lord Charles Beresford acquired fame in the attack on Alexandria. The Pelican, too, was in that engagement. She is now the property of the Hudson Bay company and comes here for cargo for Great Britain. MRS. EDISON GIVES CONSENT Will Permit T. A. to Take Up Government Work If He Gets Rest Times. West Orange, N. J., July 15—Mrs. Thomas A. Edison will permit her inventor husband to act as chairman of the new advisory board of the naval bureau of invention-if he doesn't put in too much time on the job, she said. "Mr. Edison," she declared, "now works from 8 o'clock in the morning until midnight. At first I didn't want him to take the responsibility, but since it is for his country, I suppose I'll have to let him accept." RUSSIANS CAPTURE 22,000 PRISONERS RUSSIANS CAPTURE 22,000 PRISONERS FRENCHES, ONCE LOST, ARE RE TAKEN IN COUNTER ATTACKS BY COSSACKS. VIOLENT BATTLES IN WEST Allies Make Four Assaults on Turk Position Before Winning—Aeroplane Attack Successful at Libercourt. London, July 5.—The allies made four assaults on the Turkish positions on the Gallipoll peninsula," says a dispatch to the Dally Express from Athens. "They finally occupied two hills defending Krithla and took 4,000 Turkish prisoners." London, July 15.—The Russians captured 22,710 officers and men in desperate fighting in the region of Lublin, Poland, in the week ending July 11, according to an official statement issued by the Russian war office in Petrograd. The Russian war office also announced that trenches extending about one and a third miles on the right bank of the Pissa River in Poland, which were captured by the Germans yesterday, were retaken by the Russians by a strong counter attack. Infantry Engagements in the West. The Argonne forest in France, the region directly to the west of that wood and the sector to the north of Arras are the scenes of very violent infantry fighting. At other points on the western line there is a continuance of the artillery action. An allied air raid on Libercourt, between Doual and Lille, was successfully carried out by a squadron of eighth aeroplanes, which throw down numerous bombs. LANSING SEES BERNSTORFF AMBASSADOR HAS CHANCE TO EXPLAIN NOTE. Once More Urges U. S. to Protest Engl ish Blockade and Undersea War Will Cease. Washington, July 15.—Secretary of State Lansing announced that he had acceded to the request of Count von Bernstroff, the German ambassador, for a conference on questions raised in the latest note from Berlin. It also was intimated at the state department that the envoy might have another informal talk with President Wilson. The meeting between the secretary of state and Count von Bernstroff will take place within a few days, probably after the return of President Wilson from Cornish. Just when Mr. Wilson will come to Washington is not known here, but he is expected by Monday, at the latest. Count von Bernstroff has been in wireless communication with his government ever since he learned through the comment in the American press that the reply of the German foreign office to President Wilson's Lusitania rejoinder was not well received in this country. Cordiality Lost in Translation. The ambassador believed that much of the cordiality of the German note was lost in translating it into English and it is said to be his desire to explain the real attitude of his government chiefly upon the American demand for freedom of the seas. It was learned at the embassy that the ambassador will seek to convince the administration that in its reply Berlin tried to convey the desire that the president undertake mediation with Great Britain to lift its starvation blockade of German ports with the understanding that if London yielded Germany would stop its submarine warfare on commerce. NON-RESISTANTS ARE SPARED Borlin, July 15.—Included among the items given out by the Overseas News agency was the following: "During the month of June, 29 British, 3 French, 1 Belgian and 9 Russian merchantmen were sunk by German submarines. "The loss of human life was remarkably small, the submarines using every precaution and giving ample time for crews to leave their ships if no resistance were attempted."

SHALL PROVIDENT HOSPITAL BE CLOSED Board of Directors Claim Lack of Adequate Support on Part of the Public and Consider Closing of Institution To the Citizens of St. Louis: We, the Board of Directors of Provident Hospital, are seriously contemplating the closing of it, because of the lack of adequate support and proper appreciation of the work on the part of the general public. The financial condition of the institution is good at present. The property is free from debt and there is a nucleus of a building fund in the bank amounting to $1,117.20, the cash result of the campaign of 1914. The obligations for current expenses are less than $200, with some good outstanding claims. The building is in fair condition, although it has been about two years since it was renovated. The hospital ought not to be closed, but in order to keep it open, it is imperatively necessary that assistance in the form of service or money, or its equivalent, be immediately forthcoming. We are proud of the fact that we, and those who have been associated with us in the past, have been able to maintain and keep alive the institution under such adverse conditions, and that we have had the confidence of the general public to the extent of enabling us to put $6,000.00 in a piece of property, besides keeping up expenses, and to be practically out of debt at the end of nearly twenty years. The hospital ought to be kept open for many reasons, among which are the following: Because it affords the only opportunity for our young women to take a course in nurse training in the city and that of itself is a sufficient reason for its continued existence. Because it is the only institution in the city where our colored physicians can treat their patients, but that is not a sufficient reason for thinking that they should be responsible for Some of us have been in the work almost ever since the hospital was opened twenty years ago, and are willing to continue promoting it under the leadership, or with the cooperation, of others. We have been criticised in the past, and justly so in many instances, and we do not expect to be immune from it in the future, as all institutions for the people are more or less the objects of criticism. We have no feeling of resentment on that account against any one, but on the contrary have tried to remedy the defects complained of if they were of a substantial character. Mme C. J.Walker At St.Paul Church Monday Evening Mme C. J.Walker At St.Paul Church Monday Evening It will be a great treat and everybody dead sure to be well paid if they come out Monday, July 19, to St. Paul Chapel to hear Madam C. J.

Let everybody come. This lecture is given under the auspices of the St. Paul Mite Missionary Society and the St. Louis Chapter Order Eastern Star, Committee, Mrs. Jessie D. Robinson, Chairman, Mrs. D. W. Anthony and Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley. Admission, 10 cents. Escorts to Mmc. Walker, St. Paul Mite Missionary Society, St. Louis Chapter O. E. S. DR. F. F. MARTYN BACK FROM HIS VACATION The popular pastor of the First Baptist Church, and the energetic leader in all enterprises for race betterment, our respected friend and citizen, Dr. F. F. Martyn, has returned to the city after a month's absence and rest. Dr. Martyn looks well and much benefited from his vacation, and has returned full of vigor and determination that promise big things. He will preach next Sunday, both morning and night, and special preparations are being made for a great crowd to welcome him back. The pastor will announce his decision regarding the flattering call extended him while away and make a statement about his plans for the future. The Charity Carnival at Market and Cardinal, is enjoying the patronage of large crowds each night. The many new concessions that have been added during, the past week have proven quite a drawing card. The Ferris Wheel being the chief attraction. You are sure always to meet a large and jolly crowd at the Charity Carnival. Admission free.

The hospital ought to be kept open for many reasons, among which are the following: Because it affords the only opportunity for our young women to take a course in nurse training in the city, and that of itself is a sufficient reason for its continued existence. Because it is the only institution in the city where our colored physicians can treat their patients, but that is not a sufficient reason for thinking that they should be responsible for the expenses of maintaining it, as the physician must sometimes give up a part of his usual fee for the hospital service. Because many of the white physicians can treat their colored patients only in our institution, and they furnish about half of the patients. And, lastly, because of the business experience gained by us in successfully conducting a hospital. "Is it nothing to you" if Provident Hospital should close its doors?

No. 1 The Pinckneys—"Fathers of the Republic" PERHAPS South Carolina's best gift to this Republic was the splendid services of her two great sons—Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and Charles Pinckney. It can truthfully be said of the Pinckneys that their love of honor was greater than their love of power, and deeper than their love of self. One played an important part in the "Lousiana Purchase"—the other, while an envoy to France, was told that the use of money would avert war, and to this replied: "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute." Both devoted their eminent abilities toward framing our National Law. The Constitution of the United States, as it stands to-day, was built upon the framework of a plan first proposed by Charles Pinckney. It was he who demanded that it contain freedom of religion; freedom of the press, habeas corpus and trial by jury. In political faith only did these two great men differ. Charles Pinckney was an ardent Democrat, and Charles C. Pinckney a loyal Federalist, and was twice a candidate for President. It is ANHEUSER-BUSCH · ST.LOUIS, U.S.A.

It is needless to say that if alive they would VOTE NO to such tyrannous encroachments upon the NATURAL RIGHTS OF MAN. The Pinckneys both believed in the moderate use of light wipes and barley brews. They also believed in legislation which encouraged the Brewing Industry, because they knew that honest Barley Beer makes for true temperance. For 58 years Anheuser-Busch have been brewers of honest Barley-Malt and Saazer Hop beers—the kind the Pinckneys knew to be good for mankind. To-day their great brand—BUDWEISER—because of its quality, purity, mildness and exquisite flavor, exceeds the sale of any other beer by millions of bottles; 7500 people are daily required to keep pace with the public demand for BUDWEISER. P BY REV. WM. WALLACE KETCHAM Director of the Practical Work Centre, Ministry Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—He endured the cross, despising the shame.—Heb. 13:2. The cross, which Christ endured and the shame of which he despised, was not the idealized and sentimentalized cross of which we hear much today. It was a cross made of rough hewn sticks of timber; an instrument, like the gallows, upon which criminals were executed. PETER H. And yet, Christ, we are told, not withstanding this, despised its shame. What shame? The shame of being put to death as a common criminal. For it was as such, you will recall, he was condemned to death, and as such he died in the eyes of the law; though he did nothing worthy of death, and Pilate his judge found in him no fault at all. When we apprehend that Jesus Christ, the Holy One of God, suffered the reproach, the dishonor, the contempt, the infamy and ignominy of a common criminal's execution, we begin to know a little of the shame of the cross. We understand something of what Paul means when, speaking of Christ becoming obedient unto death, he adds, "even the death of the cross." But there is a deeper shame than that of which we have spoken. "It is the shame that came to him through dying; his death identified him with the result of sin, for death is a consequent of sin. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." So, while Christ suffered the shame of dying the death of a common criminal, it was greater shame for him, the Son of God, in whom was no sin, to die at all. The teaching of the philosophers that death is natural to man, is not the teaching of the Bible. The body is not the prison-house of the soul from which escape is desirable. The body and soul unified constitute the complete man. This does not mean that when the dissolution of soul and body takes place, the soul does not survive the body. The Scriptures teach it does; but they also teach that man's complete personality consists in the union of both soul and body, and that this will be realized at the resurrection of the just. Death then is not natural, but unnatural. It is the resultant of sin, and so for Christ to die was a disgrace, a reproach, a shame. Death had no dominion over Christ; no claim upon him for he was without sin. "No man," he said, speaking of his death, "taketh my life from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again." He alone of all men could say this. Other men die because they must, for "death has passed upon all men." He became obedient unto death; he yielded up his spirit; that is, he allowed death, the great conqueror of mankind, to overcome him. He suffered its shame. But deep as this shame was, the shame of the cross was still deeper. It was the shame of our sin. For there on the cross, "He bore our sins in his own body;" there, "the Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all;" there, "he suffered for our sin, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God;" there, the holy spotless lamb of God "died for the ungodly." Thus, "the one who knew no sin," became identified, not only with the result of sin by death, but with sin, being "made sin for us." It was this, more than anything else, that constituted the shame of the cross of our Lord. Its baseness and dishonor was your sin and mine, which he there put put away by the sacrifice of himself. Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree. Amaning was unknown, and love beyond degree. I wish we might catch the picture given us of our Lord in the two words "despised" and "endured." The first word shows him so far above the shame of the cross that he, as it were, looked down upon it. Literally, the word means "to think down upon;" that is, to think lightly of it. What a wonderful Christ! Because of the joy set before him, he could think lightly of the awful shame of the cross. Truly, our master "came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many." The other word, "endured," pictures him as voluntarily, patiently, suffering on the accursed cross. We see him held there, not by the cruel nails that pierced his hands and feet, but by his own indomitable will and supreme love for us. Human hands placed him there, but divine love kept him there. Surely, his crucifixion from the human side was murder, for with wicked hands they slew him, but on the divine side it was sacrifice. God giving his son to be the savior of the world and the son giving himself that we might have life through him. (By R. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JULY 18 SOLOMON CHOOSES WISDOM. LESSON TEXT-I Kings 3:4 I. GOLDEN TEXT-The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom. Prov. 9:10 R. V. Last week we had the story of a young man whose childhood was unrestrained and ungoverned, who proved to be a sad failure, unable to govern the kingdom he so much desired. Today, by contrast, we study the life of a younger brother, who, under better influences, chose the way that leads to true success. Emphasize therefore the fact that this Sunday is "Decision Day." 1. Solomon's Part (vv. 3-9) (1) Preparation (v. 3). Solomon was looking out of the open gateway of life. Still the text suggests that there was preparation for his hearing of God's wonderful promise, "Ask what I shall give thee." (a) He "bowed the Lord" (v. 3). It was a wonderful kingdom David had bequeathed to his son, enough to entice any young man, yet it was in the "statutes of David" and in the worship of Jehovah that Solomon had his chief delight. (b) He "went to Gibeon" (v. 4) because there at the tabernacle (the temple was not yet built) Jehovah particularly manifested himself to the people (I Chron. 21:23; Ex. 29:42, 43 R. V.). (2) Presentation. (v. 4). He offered "burnt offerings," a thousand, when legally one would have sufficed. The tabernacle was a type of Christ (John 1:14 R. V. and John 14:6) and each of the one thousand sacrifices also pointed forward to the Christ. The Christian has a better ground whereon to approach God (Heb. 10:1-22) than that of countless sacrifices of rams and bulls. (3) Revelation (v. 5). God appeared to Solomon in a dream, we have a better revelation in Jesus and the inspired Word, still it was a real appearance to him as subsequent events prove. (Gen. 28:12, 13; Matt. 1:20; Acts 18:9, 10). Scientists themselves confess that they know comparatively little about dreams. That God can and does even in modern times give us revelations of truth by such means is witnessed by the book by the late Dr. A. J. Gordon, "How Christ Came to Church." That dream transformed a pastor. (4) Position (vv. 6, 7). In reply to God's wonderful permission to Solomon, the setting before him of his infinite resources, Solomon first of all acknowledged his debt to David, his father. God's kindness, his faithfulness and "bounty" (marg.) to David had been according to the manner of his walking in "uprightness of heart"; and to crown that kindness, he, Solomon, is "the son to sit on his throne." This acknowledgment involved a definite obligation or service for which Solomon felt his unworthiness. (5) Petition (vv 8, 9). Seeing the greatness of the responsibility now resting (v. 8) upon him Solomon's plea is for wisdom. Already he had shown that he had in him the root of true wisdom (Prov. 1:7 and Golden Text). Solomon seemed to realize his responsibility, first to God and then to the people, for he said, "Who is able to judge this Thy great people" R. V. This is the true and right relation of duty, public or private, God first, the people afterward. Solomon asked for a "hearing heart" (see R. V. marg.). Such a request was of more value than great riches (Prov. 3:13-18) and was in line with his father David's petition. (I Chron. 22:12; 29:19); another suggestion as to how fathers should pray for their sons. II. God's Part, vv. 10-15. (1) His Pleasure (vv. 10, 11). Solomon had not asked for self, for pleasure nor for earthly power and hence God's delight. God delights in an intelligent prayer (Prov. 15:8). It is a greater thing to make a speech that pleases God than one to please man. Verse eleven tells of some of the things Solomon might have asked for, and which doubtless many of us would have asked under the same circumstances. (2) His Performance (v. 12). But Solomon made a more wise choice, hence God's pleasure to do not only all he had asked, according to his human words, but more also (Eph. 3:20). His name has become a proverb, synonymous with the greatest wisdom (v. 28, Ch. 4:29-34; 5:12, etc.). Seeking what seemed to be the minor thing God gave him the best (Matt. 6:33; Rom. 8:32; Ch. 10:23-39) and "that which thou hast not asked." (3) His Promise (v. 14). As though to heap up his goodness, as a sort of a reward of merit, God offered Solomon "long life" on one condition only, viz. obedience. Such a promise is ours and the world has yet to realize the wisdom, of God's ordinances for the good of our physical well being (Deut. 5:16; 25:15; Prov. 8:1; 14:15-23; I Tim. 4:8). All of God's promises are conditioned upon our obedience. It is sad to think that with all of his wisdom Solomon failed to learn the wisdom of obedience (I Klage 11:42) and died - a comparatively young man. Packing, Shipping and Storage.

Mr. Clark has had 16 years' experience in the tailoring business, and is well qualified to give the best satisfaction. Besides high-grade tailoring, he is cleaning, pressing and repairing all garments, carpets and draperies. He also does a rental business in full dress suits.

No matter what part of the city you live in, if you wish tailoring, cleaning or pressing work, or your guests are in need of service, phone Grand 835M or Victor 3525N and have an automobile call for your work.

As a citizen, he constitutional rights of any other citizen. As a life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As a suit of happiness is badly handicapped by outrageous oppression, and, in many cases, his condition is little better than his highest and most sacred of all privileges given to His only to take away—his life is at the mob. Guilty or innocent of any wrong, depends upon whether the gentlemen are to have a white skin in mood for blood. Bee is an easy and convenient outlet. "One better!" I do not stop to express our opinion of lynching in its un-Christian character, its aspects of practice to an enlightened age and country, and in freedom. At these points might be enlarged upon, in this country claims to be the typical Christian boasts of its civilization, is proud of its own self "the land of the free and the home of man! Where? Bravery? How! There physical matter, it is as easy to lynch a daughter a lamb. And as for shooting the children could do that. Bravery, indeed! Government, either state or national, which punchings and lifts not a finger to stop them, every sense of moral courage. You consider the treatment of the Negro inoly and native country, for which he has lynched, and suffered, and died—and then we consideration of the nation's cringing attitudes, its appropriate motto comes nearer being and the home of the coward." I are diverging somewhat. We started out with lynching, and it is this. Lynching is clear federal Constitution; therefore it should be. We do not go so far as to say, "An eye for a tooth," therefore the lyncher should or otherwise forfeit his life, though that we but we do say this. Any person or body of man into their own hands and sacrifice a life whipped by justice, and the whipper shows." Why? Because, first, lynch law is an moral sense and peace of the nation, and second, because the life of every citizen be he can be compelled in time of need to the defense of his country. Negro lynched means just two things: the face of the nation, and the absolute theft of the nation. And injury! Is any further argument needing should be made a federal offense? Entered as second-class matter April 5, 1912 at the Post Office at Saint Louis, Missouri, under the act of March 3, 1879. MAKE LYNCHING A FEDERAL OFFENSE Under the Constitution of the United States, the American Negro is a citizen of the United States. As a citizen, he is entitled to all the constitutional rights of any other citizen. Among these rights are "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." His pursuit of happiness is badly handicapped by wicked discrimination, outrageous oppression, and, in many sections, illegal segregation. His liberty is made largely a mockery by bitter prejudice, until in many respects his condition is little better than the slavery of old. His life, highest and most sacred of all privileges given by the Creator, and His only to take away—his life is at the will and pleasure of the mob. Guilty or innocent of any wrong, it matters not; it only depends upon whether the gentlemen and cavaliers who chance to have a white skin are in mood for bloodshed. If so, a lynching bee is an easy and convenient outlet. "One nigger less—much the better!" We do not stop to express our opinion of lynching. We do not dwell on its un-Christian character, its aspects of plain barbarism, its disgrace to an enlightened age and country, and its parody on American freedom. Yet all these points might be enlarged upon, in view of the fact that this country claims to be the typical Christian country of the world, boasts of its civilization, is proud of its enlightenment, and calls itself "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Freedom! Where? Bravery? How! As a mere physical matter, it is as easy to lynch a Negro as it is to slaughter a lamb. And as for shooting the body full of holes, why, children could do that. Bravery, indeed! The government, either state or national, which permits these recurring lynchings and lifts not a finger to stop them forever, is lacking in every sense of moral courage. When you consider the treatment of the Negro in this country—his only and native country, for which he has lived, and labored, and fought, and suffered, and died—and then when you add to this a consideration of the nation's cringing attitude in its foreign relations, its appropriate motto comes nearer being, "The land of the slave and the home of the coward." But we are diverging somewhat. We started out to say something about lynching, and it is this. Lynching is clearly a violation of the federal Constitution; therefore it should be made a federal offense. We do not go so far as to say, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," therefore the lyncher should be lynched by statute, or otherwise forfeit his life, though that would be perfectly fair; but we do say this. Any person or body of persons who take the law into their own hands and sacrifice a life should be mercilessly whipped by justice, and the whipper should be "Your Uncle Sam." Why? Because, first, lynch law is an insult to the justice, moral sense and peace of the nation, and should rank with treason. Second, because the life of every citizen belongs to the nation, and he can be compelled in time of need to lay his life down in the defense of his country. Every Negro lynched means just two things: an insulting slap in the face of the nation, and the absolute theft of a life that belongs to the nation. Insult and injury! Is any further argument needed to show that lynching should be made a federal offense? NEEDS OF ST. LOUIS needs of colored St. Louis loom up large bea as never before, distinctly, vividly and sad several weeks, seeing other cities, studying and meeting other people, we have returned feelings strong upon us. as a deeper conviction than ever before of t the St. Louis Negro in the aggregate; that the other feeling is a desire and a determine effort, personally and through the Argus, to the place it should come in the The needs of colored St. Louis loom up large before us. We see them as never before, distinctly, vividly and sadly. After an absence of several weeks, seeing other cities, studying other conditions and meeting other people, we have returned to St. Louis with two feelings strong upon us. One is a deeper conviction than ever before of the serious defects of the St. Louis Negro in the aggregate; that is, as a whole people. The other feeling is a desire and a determination to bend our every effort, personally and through the Argus, to lift Negro St. Louis to the place it should occupy in the nation. When compared with other cities we are woefully lacking. First and worst is the lack of unity. In this we seem to be the butt of ridicule everywhere. Then comes the lack of pride, which keeps us low in the social and commercial scale. Then there is the lack of federation, especially in religious and civic work. As a consequence, we not only make no progress, but we are losing the ground we held. But we have not space to enumerate. We want to say this: the months lying ahead are going to be trying months for the St. Louis Negro. Much, if not all, depends upon ourselves whether another year or less finds us segregated, out of the postal service, out of municipal offices, racially torn asunder, our churches struggling, gasping, dying, and darkness before us. We are no pessimist—no calamity howler. We only read the signs of the times. We sound a warning here and now. The signs are very clear. Negroes of St. Louis, we have got to come together in spirit and in union, until we are one—one in aspiration, one in determination, one in consummation. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS MRS. KATIE BOSWEL S.

Charles Carroll Charles Carroll of "Father of Religious Charles Carroll of Carrollton FRAMERS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS OF James Carroll of Carrollton, M. Father of Religious Liberty in America Charles Carroll of Carrollton HISTORY proves, to their eternal honor, that the Catholics were the first in America to advocate the Freedom of all sects to worship at any shrine they chose to bend a knee. Of all the cavaliers of Maryland, none were more noble and none adored Liberty more than Charles Carroll, who, with his kinsman, Archbishop John Carroll, strove for the hereditary rights of mankind to practice Civil and Religious Liberty. Carroll was one of the richest and most learned men in the Colonies and when he proudly affixed his name to our immortal Declaration of Independence he courted the confiscation of his vast estates. A bystander facetiously remarked, as he did so, "There goes a few millions." He was elected to the National Convention which adopted the Constitution of the United States, but illness forbade his attendance. His cousin, though, Daniel Carroll, signed our National Law, which forever guarantees to Americans Civil, Religious and Personal Liberty.

NO. 9 Carrollton, Maryland Liberty in America" Carroll's manners were easy, affable and graceful; in all the elegancies of polite society few men were his superiors. His hospitality was nothing short of royal and he was a lifetime user of light wines and barley brews. He died in his 90th year, the last survivor of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and was looked upon with reverential regard by rich and poor alike. Fifty-eight years ago Anheuser-Busch launched their great institution and have always brewed honest beers—the kind the illustrious Carroll loved to quaff. Day by day their famous brews have grown in popular favor, until 7500 people are constantly required to keep pace with the public demand. Their great brand BUDWEISER. because of its quality, purity, mildness and exquisite flavor, exceeds the sales of all other beers by millions of bottles. ST.
