Two Professional Clowns, Amuse Immense Crowd. Several hundred people attended the opening of the Charity Carnival and Street Fair Bazaar Monday night. Concessioners were busy dispensing with their goods as the busy throng was continually passing their doors. The Orphans' Home, the Old Folks Home, the churches and societies were much in evidence at the opening. Other attractions are the famous Harvel's Automatons. Two professional clowns keep the children laughing, furnishing amusement for old and young. The acrobat acts are good. All free. It costs nothing extra to see them. The grandstand is cleared at a late hour and while the band plays "Home, Sweet Home," those who so desire may indulge in the two step and their favorite dances. The merry-go-round, the trapeze, dodging ducks, and the animal circus. Plenty of fun was ushered in with the opening and it is expected that large crowds will continue until the close. Manager Robert McCluskey, when seen by an Argus reporter, expressed himself as being well pleased with the outlook and predicted a grand success for all.

J. L. Henderson, D. D., G. M. PRICE 5 CENTS GRANDFATHER LAWS ANNULLED BY SUPREME COURT Holds Election Officials Could Be Held Amenable to Law for Seeking to Enforce Oklahoma and Maryland Clauses. Washington, June 21.—In a decision so broad as probably to annul "grandfather" enactments in every Southern state which has adopted such laws, the Supreme Court today unanimously held invalid Oklahoma and Maryland legislation aimed at restricting the Negro vote. The decision was that it is a violation of the Fifteenth Amendment to the national Constitution for a state to select arbitrarily a date, such as 1866, and provide that persons not qualified to vote on that date or whose ancestors were not so qualified are barred from voting, or must submit to voting tests not required of others. The Court further held that election officials who sought to enforce such clauses could be held amenable to law for denying persons a right to vote and that such officials could not disregard the fact that the Fifteenth Amendment had stricken out of the state law the word "white" as a qualification of voting. The court held that Oklahoma had not meant to provide a literary test for its voters, if the restrictions as to those qualified to vote in 1866 was illegal and hence struck down that test, although holding that standing alone such a test was constitutional. Property and other tests for voters enacted by the Maryland Legislature for Annapolis in the same act in which the "grandfather" clause was inserted were held to be so closely related to the "grandfather" clause as to make all the qualifications fall.

Stevens, pastor Central Baptist Church, preached a very inspiring sermon to the graduates of the public schools of this city last Sunday. This large church was packed to its doors with a patient audience, who listened to Dr. Stevens preach from the text, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." He advised his hearers to be strong and courageous, despite of the seemingly handicaps, and to press onward in the face of discriminations. "Times are better now than ever before and your opportunities are greater." The choir, under the direction- of Mr. Troy Gorum, rendered beautiful music.

SALES COMPANY ST. LOUIS COUNTY THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS TEXT—And he dreamed and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it—Genesis 23:12 The story which presents itself is an old one. It is that of a life into which God entered—the life of one who was a true representative of man under the curse of sin Rebekah instructed Jacob to obtain the blessing of Abrham through deceit and the sin which brought its curse. A mother lost both of her sons and Jacob, because of the kindled wrath of Esau, is an exile from home. Weary in body, wretched in spirit, he lies down to sleep—a stone for his pillow; the vaulted heavens for his canopy. In the darkness of the night, the consciousness of sin steals over him and a guilty conscience gives uneasy rest. He felt that the sin which separated him from his father's home, must separate him from his father's God. It is at such times, when one is truly awakened to a sense of sin in himself, that God can and will manifest his grace. Jacob had no sense of worthiness; on the contrary, his conscience condemned him as a guilty sinner before God. It was then that God broke open the heavens and out of the depths of love disclosed the ladder of grace which reached the man in need; at its summit God, surrounded by the glory and brightness of heaven; at its base, poor wayward Jacob, shrouded in darkness; and ascending and descending, the angels of God. Is not this a true picture of God's grace as manifested through Christ who is the ladder reaching from God to needy man. Loved Ones at the Bottom. Years ago, an explosion in a coal mine hurried-many souls into eternity. A great crowd gathered, appalled by the terrible calamity. It could not be ascertained who had been killed, or wounded, or who were still exposed alive to the fire which was advancing in every direction. Where was the man willing to imperil his life by descending into the pit? A person of influence succeeded in gaining the attention of the throng, and asked if any were ready to face death by entering the mine. Instantly a number stepped forward. "But," said a Christian, who witnessed the thrilling scene. "I noticed that none volunteered, except those who had loved ones at the bottom." Just so it was with him, who left the throne of glory, and the courts of heaven to come to our relief. What it cost him to make the descent from such a height to such a depth, we shall not fully know throughout eternity, but we know now that he would never have descended, if he had not had loved ones at the bottom. God did not leave Jacob, perplexed by the vision, but spoke to him the word of grace; "I am the Lord God of Abraham, thy father . . . : the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it. And behold I am with thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land, for I will not leave thee until I have done that I have spoken to thee of." But in the energy of a fleeing, fallen man, an "if" obscured the grace at Bethel. It led Jacob to bargain with God and brought sad failure. God asked nothing of Jacob, simply faith; but Jacob said to God, "if you will do so and so"—"then shall the Lord be my God, and of all that thou shalt give me, I will surely give a tenth to thee." So Jacob left Bethel, having accepted God's grace conditionally. Relying partly upon God and partly upon self, he soon lost sight of the grace at Bethel, but amidst all his scheming and planning the God of Bethel never forgot Jacob. Grace that saved, kept him and at last brought him back to Bethel where grace was accepted fully. Faith took the place of sight and grace won the day. SALVATION by Grace Alone. When, today, grace which saves unconditionally, is accepted conditionally, it brings failure. God has not left us in doubt as to what Christ's suffering on the cross means. He hath spoken the word. "And by him all that believe are justified from all things from which we could not be justified by the law of Moses." And God, who exercises perfect grace, meets us just where he met Jacob, out upon the hills of sin in the very spot where we find ourselves, like Jacob, guilty, helpless and alone. Have you accepted fully God's gift of grace? Or, like bargain-making Jacob, are you now trusting in God, now in faith? If so, the God or all grace meets you and asks you to receive without condition his blessed gift. REV. WILLIAM WALLACE KETCHEL Director of Practical Work Course, Middle School Institute of Chicago PETER H. The Word of Grace. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) REVIEW, SECOND QUARTER READING LESSON—Psalm 18:65-72 GOLDEN TEXT—I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep—Ezekiel 34:15. The approximate time covered by these lessons is from 1091 or 1078 B. C. to 1035 or 1023 B. C., somewhere between 50 and 60 years. The most prominent character is David. He is related to every lesson, except the first, either as an actor or an author. This fact gives us a center about which to revolve our review. By making assignments a week in advance a chapter summary of David's life can be presented as follows: Chapter I, Saul's disobedience, and its relation to David. II, The secluded shepherd boy and Samuel. III, The boy and the giant. IV, The musician and the king V, The boy and his friend VI, The young man in exile VII, The young man as king VIII. The king and the ark. IX, The king's great sin. The remaining lessons will make excellent reading matter to be interspersed with the presentation of the various chapters and we may call the whole program "From Obacuity to Power." An excellent suggestion is made in "Peloubet's Selected Notes," of making a large chart ruled vertically into five columns and horizontally into twelve spaces, one for each lesson. Label the vertical columns respectively, place, characters, intervening events, key verse, and principal teaching. Then have each of the sixty different spaces assigned to classes or to individuals who will each in turn, beginning at the upper left hand corner with lesson one, fill in the different spaces in order until the whole chart is covered. If a blackboard is used these facts can be written within the different squares, otherwise care must be taken to have the facts written upon previously prepared pieces of cardboard, or paper, each to correspond to the dimensions of the various squares on the large chart. As in the case of the "chapter review," previous suggested, Lessons III, XI and XII, being from the Psalms, may be read and no further attention be given to them so far as the chart is concerned. For the younger classes a good story teller can give a running story of the lessons which will prove highly interesting. To drill the school or the separate classes on some of the outstanding facts of the books of First and Second Samuel and the Psalms will prove a profitable expenditure of time. For illustration: Who are the heroes of First Samuel? Of Second Samuel? What chief events in the life of David are recorded in First Samuel? In Second Samuel? Where is the record of David and Goliath? If a running commentary is desired the following suggestions may help: Lesson I. Saul is set aside, hence the need of David, "a man after God's own heart." Lesson II. Samuel's choice set aside and David the youngest son is selected to be king. Lesson III. The wonderful shepherd psalm which is a "testimony" of David the shepherd king. (Have the school recite it in concert.) Lesson IV. A venture of faith, Jehovah's watchful care over David, and the downfall of a mighty foe. Lesson V. Saul's vain attempt to slay David. The development of hatred, the protecting care over those who "put their trust in Jehovah." Lesson VI. The love of David and Jonathan, an illustration of the surrendered life and a type of the love for us of one who has said, "Henceforth I call you not servants but friends." Lesson VII. David's generosity to his persistent persecutor. David did not do to Saul what Saul tried to do to David. Though selected to become the king, David recognized in Saul one of God's chosen men and patiently bided his time till God should remove this recrant, disobedient servant and place him in the position of power. Lesson VIII. David exalted to be king, first over Judah and later over the entire nation. Also the record of his shrewd manner of making friends with all of the tribes of Israel. Lesson IX. David established Jerusalem to be both the civic and religious center of the nation. His joy in worship and in God's service points forward to our "chief shepherd." Lesson X. David was after all only human. In the midst of his idle luxury he succumbed to the allurement of temptation and committed an awful sin, an act that involved many others and made the sum total one fearful to behold. How are the mighty fallen! The higher they are the harder the fall. Let this part of the review consist of reading the psalms with but little; preferably no, comment. If what has gone before has been prayerfully and vividly presented, comment on these two lessons is needless. They so clearly and cogently connect themselves with David's life as to leave little more to be said, and the review will end with the psalmist's note of prayerfulness and his trust in Jehovah, the testimony of his personal knowledge and experience. ```markdown ``` Phone, Bomont 2323 Large MOVE YOU AS REASONABLE ATER BARNEY MOVING AND EXPRESS and Storage.

"ZAN Benjamin Franklin AMERICA has never produced a greater statesman than Franklin, who was revered by the people second only to Washington. He was a signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, and his wisdom made the latter a possibility. The great Lord Chatham pronounced him not only an honor to the Anglo-Saxon people, but to human nature. In every capitol of Europe he was a welcome guest, and he it was who induced France to lend us ships, men and money during the darkest days of the Revolution. Upon his death Congress ordered a general mourning of a month. In France it was decreed that all members of the national assembly should wear mourning for three days. So long as Americans treasure the Republic and Personal Liberty as the noblest of all human blessings, the fame of Franklin can never perish. Personally he was possessed of robust health; he was a well-shaped man, of a wise but merry nature; he had the head of a Greek philosopher, while his grace, his noble Visitors to St. Louis are cour- tually invited to inspect our plant— covers 141 acres.

NO. 5 "Father of American Diplomacy" bearing and winning personality made him a conspicuous figure in any assemblage of great men. He was a moderate user all his lifetime of Old Madeira and barley-malt brews. It is safe to say that he toasted the New Republic with every great man of Europe and America. Franklin considered his work in building the Constitution his greatest service to posterity. Upon the self-evident declaration of the Constitution of the United States Anheuser-Busch 58 years ago launched their gigantic institution. To-day, wherever Americans go for health, or business, or pleasure, their famed brand BUDWEISER is there. Its popular- ity, due to its quality, purity, mildness and exquisite flavor, has daily grown in public favor until 7500 people are constantly employed to keep pace with the ever-increasing demand.

This should lend courage to us all to fight more for our rights, The right of fran- chise is the most sacred gift to man by the Constitution and laws of the land. No people living under a constitution, who do not en- joy the equal rights of that constitution, can develop to their high- est possibilities as citizens, Note.—There.are many of our rights taken from us every day that we could have by a little patience, a little organization, and a little money . y ee ~ Nothing is ever settled until it is setthed right FRANK'S CASE There never was before, nor is it hardly ‘probable that in all ages to come, will another case corfe before the American people, where the life ur death is involved, as was the famous Frank case. Many phases of this case have been given the public by the daily newspapers, and much is said about public opinion, and the ques- tion of right and justice have had their say. The courts of Geor- gia and the Supreme Court of the United States have had their say. Then, as the last resort, the Governor of Georgia issues an executive order commuting the death sentence to lifé imprisonment. As Governor of the state, he was perfectly within his right. Some have praised him as a strong man. but he looks to us like a “weak- ling.” He is quoted as saying that he did not believe Frank guilty, but did believe that Conley. the Negro scoundrel, is the guilty one. Poot Governor, what poor judgment. or what a pack sof incon sistency. We do not believe that there is another man in the state of Georgia, or anywhere else, wko knows anything about the gen- eral sentiments of the South when it comes to a question of a Ne- gto's word against a white man, believes as this Governor does (if he told the truth). If he would tell the truth further in the case, he would acknowledge that he was not strong enough to overcome the onslaughts of hundreds of thousands of letters and petitions that besieged him daily in Frank's behalf. He spoke of his “‘con- science,” which is the best evidence of his weakness, We do not say that Frank was guilty, nor do we blame him and his friends for doing all that they could to save his neck from the gallows. for life is sweet to every man, and as long as there is life there ix hope; but we do object strenuously against the Gov- ernor of Georgia, or anyone else, trying to gain the freedom of Leo Frank by fixing the crime on a poor, helpless, defenseless Ne- gro, because, if there had been the slightest ‘suspicion that Conley had committed that horrible crime. the courts would not have passed on his case, the Supreme Court of the’ United States would never have heard of it, the Governor would have been too slow with the troops to do any good—it would have ele people of Georgia.” iia Sa A strong organized effort to save Leo Frank from the gallows succeeded. Is there a lesson for the Negro race? : Some of our people are always ready to go to the front, until they are called upon to do some real work for all the people, ther they can't be found. : Gambling is bad at its best.

Voting, who for five years has conducted a large grocery business at 113 West 135th Street, were beginning to think that he had settled down for a real bachelor life, he sprung a big surprise on them by taking for his bride Miss Rena B. Fields, of St. Louis, the noted hairdresser and manicurist. The popular couple were married by the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinia Baptist Church, in the parsonage of the church, Wednesday evening, May 19. The wedding was very quiet, owing to the hatred of both parties for publicity and because they wanted to take their friends by surprise. Miss Fields will continue her hairdressing business at 49 West 131st Street, where the couple reside. Mr. David D. Jones, secretary Y. M. C. A. and Miss Suzie P. Williams, elder daughter of Prof. and Mrs. F. L. Williams, 1973 W. Belle Place, were married at the home of the bride's parents last Monday evening. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. E. Jones, brother of the bridegroom, and Rev. S. W. Parr, pastor, of Berea Presbyterian Church. A large number of friends and admirers attended the reception from 6 to 8:30. The young couple departed Monday night to spend their honeymoon at St. Joe, Michigan. From there they will go to Williams Bay, where Mr. Jones will attend the secretary's conference which convenes on the 28th and will continue two weeks. FOR SALE: Barber shop.

BASEBALL KANSAS CITY, KAN., GIANTS COMING SUNDAY The Kansas City, Kan., Giants, a strong baseball team that has been winning from all the western and southern teams this season, will be here Sunday to play three games with the St Louis Giants at Kuebler's Park. June 27, 28, 29. This series should afford plenty of excitement for the fans. The series with the West Baden Sprudels proved the most exciting of the season. As we predicted, the fans were held at a high pitch in all the games. Although the Giants won Sunday by the toppheavy score of 11 to 3, the game was hard fought and not half so uninteresting as the score indicates. Monday the Giants won a 4 to 3 game by making 3 runs in the ninth inning. Tuesday, the Sprudels won 7 to 4 in another hot contest. Simpson, one of the Sprudels' slab artists, is a recent graduate of Wilberforce University, with the degree of Bachelor of Science. The Giants defeated an all-star team, 15 to 5, at the Motordome Wednesday. SUNDAY MORNING BASE- BALL Get some fresh air Sunday mornings. Ride to Kuebler's Park, 6100 N.

GOOD SHOW AT BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER The show at the Booker Washington Theater this week compares well with the best this house has offered. Frank Foster is a delightful surprise. As a dialect comedian and impersonator he is excellent. His monologue is full of humor and makes a decided hit. Johnson and Rector sing well. They have a new line of talk that leads up on an odd will, climaxed with a song, "When I Leave This World Behind." They close with a neat dance. Mise Ella Goodloe appears to advantage as a singer. Her songs are presented in an expressive manner and she does considerable dancing. Hunter and Chappell are original in their work. They are good singers and comic.

History has not, up to the present day, produced a constitution that has ever lived nor will the coming ages produce such a record under present existing conditions on the globe. Citizens of the United States—sons of fathers now at war in the Eastern Hemisphere, point with undue pride to the "composition" designated by their forefathers a constitution, yet each passing day but adds to its blanket of dust now over a century old. Two facts alone have destroyed the life of this constitution. First, a misconception of the terms Negro and Caucasian. Second, the slavery of Colored womanhood by every Colored man in this country. The term Afro-American may mean equally as well a "Caucasian" offspring of a Caucasian mother and Caucasian father, the one or the other native of America or Africa. Each individual, subject to a type of constitution as that of the United States, is responsible for the "life" of such constitution. The production of Colored commercial industry, factories, etc., both foreign and domestic, for Colored men by Colored men will immediately revive the constitution. G. R.

POPE-TURNBO MALONE THE "PORO" HAIR DRESSING Some folks write testimonies Having no regard to fact. While some exaggerate it Others words are exact. Some will falsify their statements, Others write just to deceive. By a thousand varied arguments, So their story none believes. But it shall be my object Just to stake it as it is. And let the world know truly All about the "Poro" big. I do not mean to tell it all, (For half I do not know). But every word I tell you You will truly find it so. Indeed, I've taken washing, sir, And ironing, to be sure; I have served as cook and housemaid, And have done some nursing, too. The reason why I did it Was because I didn't know The higher possibilities For agents of "Poro." I found out what the cost would be To enter in the work. I paid the stipulated price With not a moment's shirk. And now today, I'm glad to say With all my soul and main, "I count the cost as nothing lost, But everything to gain." I've done five hundred heads or more Since first I did begin— There's a constant rapping at my door Of people coming in To have me wash and dress their hair; Because these ladies know, (Of all the rest), I use the best. The world's far-famed "Poro." I've had some ladies come to me With hair so very thin— Each strand a standing to itself And arguing with the win'; But after two or three months' time I'm glad to let you know, They all join in the chorus Singing praises to "Poro." I can call them by the hundreds, I can name them by the score; Everyone of whom are pleased With using the "Poro." It makes their hair so glossy, It makes their height; It makes the hair all flourish, And puts it up to date. Your husband will not know you, And neither will your beau— You'll take your own self by surprise By using "Pope-Turno Poro." So if you want your hair improved Prof Franklin's educated dogs will be one of the many attractions at Crystal City. These dogs sing, dance, jump the rope, march, hold count, and many other acts.

Lady Attendant. West Mediuma Developed. NOTE—These calling for pasture, curious and frivolous persons are only waiting time calling on Pref. Gladstone. Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the renowned psychic schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet lenging, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark chasm which separates the human body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be told. The separated are brought to- A gather, foes are made friends, lost property is recovered, the mist is brushed away from business ventures, the hand is so guided that failures are averted, the earth's surface is explored, its treasure ladda bare to his mysterious perceptive mind, and while he gives names, dates, facts and figures, his visitor sits dumfounded at the revelations he makes to him. He is surely a man of the passing GLADSTONE is not a chairvoyant from choice, but because fate has so decreed it. His ancestors were powerful mediums and have for ages handed down their wonderful power of gift from generation to generation. So he has received the rich inheritance together with the combined knowledge and priceless experience of generations. No matter what your present trouble may be or what your past experience may have left you will have disappointment by at once consulting Gladstone. NOTE—Gladstone answers no letters if you cannot call in person, do not write, as his time is fully occupied with his personal callers. TAKE WELLSTON HODIAMONT OR MAMILTON CARS
