Mrs. Mary B. Talbert Accepts General Agency for Preparations and Bestows Praise. Mme. C. J. Walker, of Indianapolis, a Guest. A number of distinguished visitors inspected the Oxford plant during the past week. The Majors' plant can be complimented upon having enrolled a very prominent woman of our race, Mrs. Mary Talbert, Vice-president N. A. of C. W. C., Buffalo, N. Y., who recently gave a lecture at the St. Paul Church. The lecture was something out of the ordinary and she held the audience spell-bound. Miss Sara May Talbert, who is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, assisted Mrs. Talbert with an instrumental solo. In company with Mrs. Talbert and daughter was Madam C. J. Walker, who is a well-known hair culturist of Indianapolis, Ind., Mrs. Crocket and her daughter, Miss Grace Crocket, and Miss Ting, a Chinese lady of the Hawaiian Islands. They were shown through the plant and were pleased with what they saw. The Oxford work is now thrown over in the Hawaiian Islands. Many compliments were passed upon the different departments and their arrangements. The office being well equipped with the latest automatic cylinder mimeograph printing press. Who shown the Majort latest mailing system and the way the business is systematically handled all over the country they were amazed. Pres. Majors being the inventor of the system, value of which is over $50,000. This system is the only one of its kind installed among the people of our race. The visitors were greatly surprised after hearing Pres. Majors explain the general principle and why it is necessary to have such a system. They were shown in the wrapping room, where seventeen preparations are wrapped, sealed, and sent to all parts of the country, the department requires careful handling, on account of its dainty preparations. The room is handsomely fitted out and the visitors were well pleased with the pretty assortment and fine articles, each made in the Oxford Laboratory and guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug Act. Each department has a lady in charge. The visitors next were shown in one of the finest and most expensive operating rooms that was ever installed in this work. They were shown the latest machines in hair culture and beauty work. Pres. Majors, who is the inventor of the machines, and being the only Negro that has four patents to his credit in one year. The operating room is fitted with the very latest arrangements, and each visitor seemed to be wonderfully impressed when shown this department, and each one was given a demonstra-tree. This statement was made by one of the visitors: "I must say out of all of my traveling and visiting the many beauty shops and colleges, this is the best, even the beauty preparations, and I shall always have them." This distinguished lady was Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, the world knows her. Again she stated: "I had no idea of taking up the work. I only came to visit it in my usual way. I must say you have converted me in the hair, and beauty work, of all the colleges and beauty shops from New York City to the Pacific Coast, I have never visited one that impressed me so much as the Oxford. I have been offered large sums of money to speak of other concern's preparations in my lecture, but now I have been converted." This distinguished visitor that very evening signed a contract as general agent from coast to coast for the Majors Oxford System. Pres. Majors now feels that he has added this equipment, and is now ready to battle the world. "The best preparations will win." Madam C. J. Walker, after having been shown through the plant, which has only been in operation fourteen months, passed many compliments upon it. She also extended to the Oxford force a special invitation to tee, but desiring to aid in opposing this most pernicious legislation, are O. E. S. Session And Jubilee Success Here O. E. S.

A. universal ey end—"we must qQ needs dle.” From I] the day of birth } to old age each fl HI step of the way ts | H] a step towant the j] grave. “It is ap Hl | pointed unto man i once to die” hao HOMMEPERE| been truc of the ee Sea — gwhole human family. Various schemes and vari- ous ways have been tried to disprove this but the grave continues to receive its due. However strong and however great, one universal end awaits us for “we must needs dic.” 2. A universal condition—“we are as the water spilt on the ground which cannot be gathered up.” We were ‘innocent when we were born, but alas, how quickly the {nnocence was destroyed. We were helpless to re- tain it. A few days in the forgotten Ume of our early childhood and then it was as water spilled out. The fresn innocence of the morning quickly died away and we became in deed what we are in nature, sinners, We could not avoid the spilling out as water and we were helpless to gather it up“again. Once lost it was lost for good and try as we might to for- get and try as we might to turn over the new leaf and begin again, each at- tempt just tended to show us the helplessness of all effort. All have become gullty, and all are helpless to set rid of that gull ‘We are as water spilt “which cannot be gathered up again. 3. A universal standing—“netther doth ~God respect any person.” God judges all alike in’ respect “of sin. One may be great fn this world and another may be unheard of, but before God they stand on the same platform as sinners. One might be learned and another ignorant but it is in respect to sin that they come before the Lord. One may be & good man and tell the Lord about his fast- ing and bis praying without any rec- cognition of his sinfulness, and he, has less favor with God than the poor publican who. merely stands and pleads for mercy. They are both ain-| ners there, for there is no respect of Persons with him. This would make the case of sinners to’ be hopeless were it not for the fact that that which 1s impossible to man is possi- ble to God. 4. A universal opportunity—“He dasa devise means that his banished not expelled from him.” When man sinned and automatically put himself away from God, the God he had sipned against immediately set about devising moans to. have man brought back to him. “God commend- ed his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” It was God who began the work of redemption, not man. The first movement was from God's side. He it was -who provided the | precious blood of the Lamb of God, \the only means for putting away sin, for “without the shedding of blood th {s no remission,” as the Bible declares from cover to cover. Not only must the sin be put away, but the sinner must be cleansed, gnd here again we remember the word that “the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” The justice and the holiness of God are upheld and vin- dicated by the blood and a way made open for the sinner, the banished one, to be brought back to God. The blood meets every objection of the law and every objection of the devil and ad- mits the one who was banished back to the Father's house. The Lord him- self does this that “His banished may be with him.” “Go so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, t whosoever believeth on him it not perish but have everlasting life.” The redeemed sinner can now sing of him who “loved and _gave him- self for me.” * God has done all he can to have the banished one back with him and all that remains ie for man to accept his terms and come to him without fear. The work is all finished and finished im such a way that God can be just and yet the justifier of him that be Meves tp Jesus. And Christ says: “Him that cometh unto me I will im Bo wise cast out” All virtue consists in having a wilh ing heart. oe ee roe the hand, if only you do not end are filled with love for him rathige than fear for yourseli—Fenelon' | vy ‘Trust in God, SUNDAY SCID LESSON neonate ee LESSON FOR AUGUST 1° - QUEEN OF SHEBA VISITS 8OLO- .| MON, eee LESSON TEXTW1 Kings 00:1 GOLDEN TEX'T—-Wisdem la better than rubies, Prov. 8:11. The visit of this wealthy queen from the region of southern: Arabia has always appealed to the ‘magins- tions of men. Solomon's kingdom was at the apex of its glory. There were no wars, Jaraei’s borders were extended and the temple and those other wonderful buildings had all been completed, The chief value of this lesson is not in Solomon's wisdom nor in what thia queen saw and heard, but rather it 1s in what bas, is being, and will be dons by Christ, of whom Solomon is a type and who seized upon all of this glory to teach us a great lesson (see Matt. 6:28-34), Caesar's famous phrase, slightly altered, is in this connection quite -applicable—“I came, I saw, I (was) conquered.” 1. “Hard Questions,” vy. 13. Solo- mon is here a great type of Christ: (a) His greatness could not be hid (Mark 7:24). Solomon's fame filled the known world (1 Kings, 4:84). "The fame of Solomon's wisdom, philosophy, proverbs, poems and knowledge of God (vy. 1) drew to his court this queen, and wo must recall that {t was proba- bly a. 1,500-mile totlsome camel-back Journey for her to come to his court. (b) She brought a “very great store” (v. 10) of gifts, which, according to orfental custom, she presented to Sol omon. Our best gift to our King is ourselves (2 Cor. 8:5). (c) She cama to learn of “the name of the Lord” who had done so much for Solomon and his people; to learn wisdom for the guidance: of herself and her peo- ple. We come to. a King who pow seases all wisdom (Matt. 12.42). Solo- mon bad @ wonderful missionary op- portunity. God fs today sending heart hungry people to this land trom the most remote parts of the earth. Are we using our-privilege to point them to the true, God and to Jesus, his son? ‘This queen did not believe what she had heard (v. 7) and resolved to find out for herself, In thls she is a rebuke to those more favorably situated who, though constantly beholding the work of God in human hearts and lives, still say, “I do not believe.” The queen of Sheba will rise up in judgment against all who refuse to “come and see” (John 1:39, 45-51; Matt. 12:42), (4) This visit is a prophecy of that day when the kings of Sheba and Seba will come’ with thelr gifts for the greater son of David (Psalm 72:10, 15; Isa. 60:69). The wisdom which our king bestows is eternal life, “to know him” (Prov. 2:26; John 11:38). __W. MHad Seen AIL” vy. 47. When she had listened to Solomon's wisdom and heard the answers to her ques- tions, the solutions to her problema, and had witnessed the wonders of his: temple, court and ministers, “there was no more spirit (breath) in her.” (Cf. Josh. 5:1.) And aimilar expert. ence came to thosé three who went to the Mount of Transfiguration with Je- sus. Solomon's wisdom is fulfilled in Christ: (Col. 2:3).’ “The house that he built" ts a type of that temple he is building of living stones (I Peter 2:4, 6; Matt. 16:18). “The meat of his table” 1s excelled by the food on our king's table, the word of life (Jer. 15:16; Ps, 119:103), bis own “body (John 6:55). Our king; too, has his servants (Eph. 2:6; Rev. 3:21). Their “appeal” ia not to be compared with, the “robe of his righteousness” and our “standing” (2 Cor. 5:21) is more exalted than that of any at Solomon's, or other earthly courts. Woe are not servants but “friends,” yet we are “his ministers” (Rev. 5:0; I Pet. 2:9). Various translations suggest (¥. 5), “and his burnt offering which he of- fered in the house of the lord.” INL. Praises, svv. 819, 12. (1) By testimony, vv. 8, 9. “Happy are thy men” who listen to such wisdom, who dwell in the midst of such achieve ments. One of the greatest ‘joys is to converse with the wise and the good. Our happiness is in our privi- lege of standing before Christ and to hear his wisdom (Luke 10:39-42; Prov. 18:20; 3:13, 14); no servant is de barred (John 12:26). The queen glori- fed the source of Solomon's glory, which was all the gift of Jehovah's grace (seo 3 Sam. 12:24 25 R. 'V. marg., Matt, 3:17; Isa 42:1). She did not see the oppression of the people, the temptation to luxury and the de- cline in religious life which so soon led to decay after Solomon's death. When our king shall reign he will “do judgment and justice.” Bven so our king blesses us abund- antly “above all, we can ask or think” (see John 10:28; 17:22).

SUTCLIFFE Andrew Superintendent of Men, Monroe BIL Institute of Chicago TEXT-For we must needs die, and are as water split on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doft God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.—II Sam. 14:14. This is part of a woman's plea to King David to have Abalam restored after he had been driven out for his crime against his brother. It speaks of four universal characteristics found in every sinner. JOHN B. 1. A universal end—"we must needs die." From the day of birth to old age each step of the way is a step toward the grave. "It is appointed unto man once to die" has been true of the whole human family. Various schemes and various ways have been tried to disprove this but the grave continues to receive its due. However strong and however great, one universal end awaits us for "we must needs die." 2. A universal condition—"we are as the water split on the ground which cannot be gathered up." We were innocent when we were born, but alas, how quickly the innocence was destroyed. We were helpless to retain it. A few days in the forgotten time of our early childhood and then it was as water spilled out. The fresh innocence of the morning quickly died away and we became in deed what we are in nature, sinners. We could not avoid the spilling out as water and we were helpless to gather it up again. Once lost it was lost for good and try as we might to forget and try as we might to turn over the new leaf and begin again, each attempt just tended to show us the helplessness of all effort. All have become guilty, and all are helpless to get rid of that guilt. We are as water split which cannot be gathered up again. 3. A universal standing—"neither doth God respect any person." God judges all alike in respect of sin. One may be great in this world and another may be unheard of, but before God they stand on the same platform as sinners. One might be learned and another ignorant but it is in respect to sin that they come before the Lord. One may be a good man and tell the Lord about his fasting and his praying without any recognition of his sinfulness, and he has less favor with God than the poor publican who merely stands and pleads for mercy. They are both sinners there, for there is no respect of persons with him. This would make the case of sinners to be hopeless were it not for the fact that that which is impossible to man is possible to God. 4. A universal opportunity—"He doth devise means that his banished be not expelled from him." When man sinned and automatically put himself away from God, the God he had sinned against immediately set about devising means to have man brought back to him. "God commended his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." It was God who began the work of redemption, not man. The first movement was from God's side. He it was who provided the precious blood of the Lamb of God, the only means for putting away sin, for "without the shedding of blood there is no remission," as the Bible declares from cover to cover. Not only must the sin be put away, but the sinner must be cleansed, and here again we remember the word that "the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." The justice and the holiness of God are upheld and vindicated by the blood and a way made open for the sinner, the banished one, to be brought back to God. The blood meets every objection of the law and every objection of the devil and admits the one who was banished back to the Father's house. The Lord himself does this that "His banished may be with him." "Go so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him might not perish, but have everlasting life." The redeemed sinner can now sing of him who "loved and gave himself for me." God has done all he can to have the banished one back with him and all that remains is for man to accept his terms and come to him without fear. The work is all finished and finished in such a way that God can be just and yet the justifier of him that believes in Jesus. And Christ says: "Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast-out." Trust In God. All virtue consists in having a willing heart. God will lead you as if by the hand, if only you do not doubt, and are filled with love for him rather than fear for yourself—Fonelon. (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Bunday School Council, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) QUEEN OF SHEBA VISITS SOLOMON. LESSON TEXT-I Kings 10:1-10, 12 GOLDEN TEXT-Wisdom is better than rubles. Prov. 8:11. The visit of this wealthy queen from the region of southern Arabia has always appealed to the imaginations of men. Solomon's kingdom was at the apex of its glory. There were no wars, Israel's borders were extended and the temple and those other wonderful buildings had all been completed. The chief value of this lesson is not in Solomon's wisdom nor in what this queen saw and heard, but rather it is in what has, is being, and will be done by Christ, of whom Solomon is a type and who seized upon all of this glory to teach us a great lesson (see Matt, 6:28-34). Caesar's famous phrase, slightly altered, is in this connection quite applicable—"I came, I saw, I (was) conquered." 1. "Hard Questions," vv. 1-3. Solomon is here a great type of Christ: (a) His greatness could not be hid (Mark 7:24). Solomon's fame filled the known world (I Kings, 4:34). The fame of Solomon's wisdom, philosophy, proverbs, poems and knowledge of God (v. 1) drew to his court this queen, and we must recall that it was probably a 1,500-mile tollsome camel-back journey for her to come to his court. (b) She brought a "very great store" (v. 10) of gifts, which, according to oriental custom, she presented to Solomon. Our best gift to our King is ourselves (2 Cor. 8:5). (c) She came to learn of "the name of the Lord" who had done so much for Solomon and his people; to learn wisdom for the guidance of herself and her people. We come to a King who possesses all wisdom (Matt. 12.42). Solomon had a wonderful missionary opportunity. God is today sending heart from the most_remote parts of the earth. Are we using our privilege to point them to the true God and to Jesus, his son? This queen did not believe what she had heard (v. 7) and resolved to find out for herself. In this she is a rehike to those more favorably situated who, though constantly beholding the work of God in human hearts and lives, still say, "I do not raise." The queen of Sheba will rise up in judgment against all who refuse to "come and see" (John 1:39, 45-51; Psalm 12:42). (d) This visit is a prophecy of that day when the kings of Sheba and Seba will come with their gifts for the greater son of David (Psalm 72:10, 15; Isa. 40:6-9). The wisdom which our king bestows is eternal life, "to know him" (Prov. 2:2-6; John 17:3). II. "Mad Seen All." vr. 4-7. When she had listened to Solomon's wisdom and heard the answers to her questions, the solutions to her problems, and had witnessed the wonders of his temple, court and ministers, "there was no more spirit (breath) in her." (Cf. Josh. 5:1.) And similar experience came to those three who went to the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus. Solomon's wisdom is fulfilled in Christ (Col. 2:3). "The house that he built" is a type of that temple he is building of living stones (I Peter 2:4, 5; Matt. 16:18). "The meat of his table" is excelled by the food on our king's table, the word of life (Jer. 15:16; Ps. 119:103), his own body (John 6:55). Our king, too, has his servants (Eph. 2:6; Rev. 3:21). Their "appeal" is not to be compared with the "robe of his righteousness" and our "standing" (2 Cor. 5:21) is more exalted than that of any at Solomon's or other earthly courts. We are not servants but "friends" yet we are "his ministers" (Rev. 5:10; I Pet. 2:9). Various translations suggest (v. 5), "and his burnt offering which he offered in the house of the lord." III. Praises, vv. 8:19. 15: (1) By testimony, vv. 8, 9. "Happy are thy men" who listen to such wisdom, who dwell in the midst of such achievements. One of the greatest joys is to converse with the wise and the good. Our happiness is in our privilege of standing before Christ and to hear his wisdom (Luke 10:39:42; Prov. 12:20; 3:13, 14); no servant is debarred (John 12:26). The queen glorified the source of Solomon's glory, which was all the gift of Jehovah's grace (see 2 Sam. 12:24, 25 R. V. marg. Matt. 5:17; Isa. 42:1). She did not see the oppression of the people, the temptation to luxury and the decline in religious life which so soon led to decay after Solomon's death. When our king shall reign he will "do judgment and justice." Even so our king blesses us abundantly "above all, we can ask or think" (see John 10:28; 17:23). The kingdom of heaven is greater than Solomon's (Matt. 12:43) (a) in wisdom (I Cor. 1:24); (b) in riches (Eph. 3:8); (c) in power (Heb. 2:8); (d) in blessings (3 Chron. 1:18, cf. Phil. 4:13) and this kingdom is "among you." Men "see" what they are searching after; they receive true knowledge through experience. We may see this kingdom and its working if we let him, who is the "light of the world," enter our hearts and lives.

As yet this change in public sentiment, if any such there: not effective in results. It is true that in the legislatures of the southwestern states during past winter there were fewer-unreasonable and unreasoning laws john than usual, but a consideration. of the hostile bills introduced shows that there is atill reason for much @isquiet even though they were defested by tnore or less of a majority. ~ 3 Moreover, the idea that’ the rallroads have been harshly treated does not seem to prevail in the offlogs of the State Railroad Commissions which seem to cherish = notion that their business is not to'act as an arbitrator between the railroads and the people, but which proceed on the theory that the railroads sre able to take care of themselves and that their duty is to ‘act as attorney for the people even though in so doing they deny fustice to the railroads. It requires no argument to demonstrate that the railroads are entitled to justice equally with other citizens and taxpayers. That they have not received it and are not receiving it is perfectly susceptible of proof; That they have practically no recourse in the courts has also been determined. = es : «=: The situation therefore is that the people, through their representatives, must elect whether the services’ of the railroads shall be adequately compen- sated or not; and ft requires no fortune teller or soothsayer to predict that ‘in the long run the service will take the class that is paid for and no better. ‘The natural competition hetween the railroads and the natural desire to perform first-class service Ras heretofore reeulted in giving the pubiio much more than !t was willing to pay for. Continuation of this will’ be impossible and no Isws, however drastic, can long accomplish the impossible.” ae) | e every woman in the State. It would be useless to argue this if the right of suffrage were a natural right. If it were a natural right, then women should have it though the heavens fall. But if there be any. one thing:settled in the long discussion of this subject, ft is that suffrage is not.a natural right, but is simply a means of government, and the sole question to pe) occa whether government by the suffrage of men and women will be ‘gov ernment than by the suffrage of men alone. Vesa Into my air, i of pal’ ass aah sia teres aoe irae diferent trom’ man; that in’ the distribution of ‘powers, of capacities, of qualities, our Maker has created man edapted to the performance of certain functions in the economy of nature and soclety,,and woman ‘adapted to the performance of. other funetions, : Woman rules today by the sweet and noble Influences of her character. Put woman into the arena of confifct-and she abandons these great ‘weapons which control the world, and she takes into her hands, feeble and nerveless for strife, weapoms with which she {s tnfamiliar and which she ig unable to wield. Woman in strife becomes hard, harsh, unlovable, repulsive; as far removed from that gentle creature to whom ve all owe allegisnot and to whom we confess submission, as the heaven is removed from the earth. The whole science of goverament ia the sclence of protecting life and Uberty and the pursuit of Kappinéss. In the divine distribution of powers, the duty and the right of protection rests with the male. It fs so through- out nature. It is so with men, ‘end I, for one, will never consent to part with the divine right ‘of protecting my wife, my daughter, the women Whom I love, and the women whom I respect, exercising the birthright of man, and place that high duty jm the weak and nerveless hands of those designed by God to be protected rather than to engage in-the stern warfare of government. In my judgment, this whole movement arises-from « false conception of the duty and of the right of both men and women. The time will never come when the line of demarcation between the fepticas of the two sexes ¥ill bg Broken dows. T beliére it fo be fales si ; I delleve that {t is an attempt to turn backward upon the line of social development, and that if the-step ever be taken, we go centuries back- ward on the march towards a higher, a nobler and a purer civilisation, which must be,found not in the confusion, but in the higher differentiation of the gexen.” A iad Hamburg, one of the three German free. ports, now ranks as the second ‘greatest seaport in the world, its total foreign commerce in 1913 being only 96,000,000 under that of New York ‘The free port would offer great opportunity for financisl operations, now made possible by the recent currency act.

After the first wonder that Such a marvel of marine construction could. so éasil¥ “capsize :and< plunge. a thousand souls into eternity—after the first. burst.of indignation at the evident ‘carelessness of some one has vented itself, many will begin ‘to ask: “Where is your boasted Providence of God? Where the Infinite Jystice which is preached to us, or the great Father's gare for His children?” -These questions have not the slightest bearing upon the dis- aster, God has no more to do with this, or any other disaster, than He has to do with a man’s going to and from his work. Man is always trying to shift the responsibility for his folly or his crime upon God. Man is.a free agent. He may overcrowd his excursion boat, or lighten the ballast and make it top-heavy, or otherwise play the fool or the criminal, if ‘he pleases. But he-is also an intelligent be- ing, cognizant of natural laws and fortified by experience. Even were he not, it is an established principle, in. the courts of man as well as in the divine plan, that ignorance of the law is no excuse, nor does it prevent the’ consequences. of the law’s violation. God's laws are perfect, and so is the Lawmaker. In the na- ture of things, violation of the law must bring disaster—and the center of gravity is.a law. Were it not so, and could law be vio- lated with impunity, it would not be law, and the whole universe would: resolve itself back-into the reign of Chaps, an God become amyth, 7 S : If you should choose to take a gun and run amuck, no one could stop you-—-God Himself, we say it reverently—could not stop you from shooting anyone within reach, or prevent the bullet from doing its deadly work, But the criminal law would send you to the gallows, and the moral law would send you to perdition. — “And if the criminal law does not punish some one for this aw- ful disaster, the law of God will. . “ MAYOR KIEL TO THE K. OF P'S. _ ‘ At the Tuesday evening session of the Grand Lodge, now in convention at Pythian Temple, the visiting delegates were heart- ily welcomed to the city by Mayor Kiel. In addition to the words of welcome, the Mayor made two declarations that are worthy of our careful consideration. He de- clared that he is our friend, and in return asks our friendship. There can be no question but that he has shown himself a friend to the colored people of St. Louis. The other declaration by his Honor was his attitude upon the segregation question, He reiterated his position, as appeared in the press some months ago, and then added that when the matter comes up for popular vote he “will be on the firing line” in our in- terests. 3 “Even were the Mayor-not friendly, he has shown himself fair and just, and this alone should entitle hint to our friendship, We are not: unappreciative, Mr. Mayor, of your friendship; your position regarding segregation, or the municipal office that has been given us. ’ . TIME TO GET BUSY Lise The activities of the promoters of segregation remind us that it isytime to get busy. The enemy is marshalling-his forces for a “Teutonic drive” and we are still in the “primrose path of dalli- ance.” We call emphatically upon the ministers of the city to begin in their pulpits.a campaign of education. Arouse your people to a sense of their danger and inspire them with a sense of their duty. While admonishing them to consider things above, tell them to keep an eye and an car prudently ony to some things down here. We call upon all civic and business organizations to get to- ~gether quickly for concerted action. Drop all pefty jealousies and suicidal rivalries, and focus upon the common enemy: Remember the Kilkenny cats! We call upon all fraternal societies to meet, if n in secret conclave—like the Russian Nihilists, or the early Christians in the catacombs of Rome—and plan a course of action, drastic, ef- fectual, even though it shake the socidl fabric to its foundation... - __ It’s time to get busy! . s » A COMPARISON Im an address delivered at Pythian’ Hall a couple of nights ago, City Counsellor Daues made an interesting comparison. He spoke first of the absurdity of there being any difference between himself, or any other white person, and a Negro—other than the difference in color of skin. He showed the wickedness and injustice of segregating a-people who are law-abiding, ambi- tious, progressive, inteljgent. Then he quoted some interesting criminal statistics by way of comparison. 2 This comparison showed that the percentage of crime the colored is considerably below that among the whites, and there is also. much smaller percagtege: of druskenness: ¢ coloredyy ot pee onde ee aac PUBLIC FORUM | it ot ae re ae FONTS 6 ee a, “DEP I m) OUR PUBLIC FORUM. x V.—E.

Who Is Turner- Gibson This nation is now in the midst of a controversy as to how best to promote universal peace. That question we will leave for diplomats to discuss, but peace within nations is no less important than peace between nations and it is heavily laden with prosperity for every citizen within our commonwealth. Many leading politicians and oftimes political platforms have declared war upon business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men have stood in high places and hurled "gas bombs" at industry; thrust bayonets into business enterprises and bombarded agriculture with indifference. Party leaders have many times broken diplomatic relations with industry; sent political aviators spying through the affairs of business, and political submarines have sent torpedoes crushing into the destiny of commerce. During the past quarter of a century we have fought many a duel with progress, permitted many politicians to carry on a guerrilla warfare against civilization and point a pistol at the heart of honest enterprise. No man should be permitted to cry out for universal peace until his record has been searched for explosives, for no vessel armed or laden with munitions of war should be given a clearance to sail for the port of Universal Peace. Let us by all means have peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home. GRASPING AT THE SHADOW No man—especially if he is married—would deny woman any right she demands. Take the earth and give us peace, but why does woman long for the ballot? When all is said and done, is not the selection of the butcher more important to the home than the election of a mayor; is not the employment of the dalryman a far more important event in the life of the children than the appointment of a postmaster; is not the selection of books for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? Why does woman lay aside the important things in life? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow? Be it said to the credit of womanhood: that it is not, as a rule, the woman who rocks the grade that wants to cast the ballot; it is no. the mother who teaches her children to say "Now I lay me down to sleep" that harangues the populace; it is not the daughter who hopes to reign as queen over a happy home that longs for the uniform of the suffragette. It is, as a rule, the woman who despises her home, neglects her children and sequests motherhood that leads parades and smashes windows.

Miss Fannie Pierce, 501 Hasting St., Detroit, Mich. BASE BALL ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. BASEBALL GIANTS WILL FACE THE CHICAGO ROVERS SUNDAY The St. Louis Giants will tackle the Chicago Rovers, on the St. Louis University Campus, Sunday, at 3 p.m. These grounds are at Kingshighway and Manchester Avenue, but a short distance from the center of the city. Williams and Webster will form the battery for Charley Mills' champions. The Rovers come with a reputation for terrific slugging and promise to take the starch out of our pets, but "Kk Ca Bibbaz." The Giants have been compelled to give up their model little park on North Broadway. Owner Kuebler told the Argus man this week that he was stunned a few days ago when the land owners refused to renew his lease. One of the railroad companies had taken up the entire territory in that neighborhood for switching facilities. Kuebler said he is well pleased with the support the fans have given his efforts to give St. Louis a first class baseball team and he has taken option on two grounds, one of which he will select in a few days. The Giants will leave on an extended Eastern tour August 14 and whether their new grounds are ready or not, the Ians will be sure to see some lively baseball during the remaining days of the season. Just as we expected, the Giants retrieved their reputation by beating the Carlinville "Future Major League Stars" 14 to 7, before a big crowd last Sunday. To do so they had to knock Henderson?, a Federal League pitcher, out of the box. The Carlinvilles made four runs off Williams in the first and the score stood five to three in the Giants' half of the fifth. Three were on base when Miller came to bat and made a home run, putting our boys two to the good. Miller was rewarded with a shower of coin. This started a bombardment of the Giants' big guns that netted 10 runs. It took the life out of the "Futures" and the game was sewed up. The Walton Blues captured another prize last 'Sunday. This time the Maroon Giants were the victims. The Maroon boys gave the Blues their stiffest game of the season and only lost by the close score of 8 to 6. The features of the game were the brilliant work of H. Colman, who was death to the "Texas Leaguers;" R. Davis, who made two two-baggers and two three-baggers in four times at the bat, and the excellent work of Hubert Jackson. Rose, the Blues' moundsman, was a little wild in the beginning, but settled down after the third inning and had the Maroons at his mercy. The Walton Blues' lineup was as follows: H. Colman ss., J. King r. f., W. Gans, c. f., R. Davis 1st base, N. Knight c., H. Edwards 3d base, T. Jackson, l. f., H. Jackson 2d base, J. Ross, Cheatam and F. Tolbert, pitchers. The Walton Blues want games on parks or lots. Managers of teams can phone 4160J, or write B. Walton, 4223 Sacramento.

When these are completed, which will take a few weeks, the Movie will have a perfect ventilating arrangement that will add comfort to its patrons. A new line of feature photo plays will be shown for the first time on Market Street, and it is claimed they will have no equal. If the alteration work will permit, the Movie will be open Sunday and Monday, August 1 and 2, and will show Bronco Billy, in a big three-reel photo play, Charlie Chaplin, Romance of Elaine and Helen Holmes. A really big show for 5 cents. GOOD SHOWS CONTINUE AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON Another good bill is on the boards at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. Mr. Turpin has been fortunate in booking a series of shows this summer that have, if anything, raised the standard of his popular house. This is no easy task; it's a gamble on just what will please the people best. The draw has been a lucky one and the patrons are reapin a harvest of good entertaining. Miss Alice Ramsey, as usual, well costumed and handsome, is getting away nicely with her three song numbers and her eccentric movements. This week she is singing; "Way Down in Arkansas," "I'm Going Away," and "The Beautiful Ragtime Ball." All are well received. Jones and Ross, a new couple here, are making a big hit. Mr. Jones has a rich and melodious baritone voice and is a good dancer. His feature song, "If I Could Live to Love You, Then I Would Love to Live," is especially good. Miss Ross is a capable actress; sings and dances well. They have an up-to-date line of clean jokes, and keep up a continuous stream of humor throughout the act. Laughing La Mar is a real comedy live wire. His rapid fire monologue mixed with his sarcastic retorts, is full of rich humor. He goes big in his song number, "That Baseball Rag," but makes his biggest hit in the closing piece, a laughing song, which is a scream. He is getting the hand in large measures this week. The Butlers, our favorite, Gus and his, wife, Trixie, close the show with a mixture of song, dance and comedy. They open with a song and acrobatic dance, followed by a song number by the lady, "It Takes An Affectionate Man to Win This Heart of Mine." Gus follows with an-old man dance and goes good. The newsboys' number by the pair is full of comedy. They close singing and dancing "This is the Life," and are generously applauded. Miss Susie Sutton, character impersonator, is planning another tour of the West. The Billy King Stock Company opened to a big crowd at the Grand in Chicago last week. The Rajahs, A. J. Downing and Vena Martin, are expected to visit here soon. La Rose, the female impersonator, is reported very sick and helpless in Wichita Falls, Texas. He is in need. His P. O. box number is 929. Pay days, Monday and Thursday continue to draw big crowds to the Booker Washington Theatre. On those nights everyone who attends the show is given an envelope containing their pay. Everybody gets something—from one cent to $5 in money items to $40 in Eagle Trading Stamps. Thousands of people have taken advantage of this offer. The following are a few of the long list of those most fortunate in drawing the big pays. Five dollar bills: Mary Bibb, 937 W. Cabanne Court; Mrs. M. C.
