Because by their efforts scores of people have been employed each day. Music and other amusements have been furnished, thus they have been benefited. Concessions have been given to other organizations, which enabled them to make some money. Commencing Monday night, bring your friends to Crystal City, where you may enjoy yourself.

The triennial session of the International Order of Twelve will convene in St. Louis, August 23 to 26, inclusive, and elaborate preparations are being made by the local committee for their reception and entertainment. The business sessions will be held in the beautiful new Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, the preliminary session being set for Monday, August 23. This fraternal order is one of the very few that sprung from the brain of a Negro, having been founded by Rev. Moses Dickson (now deceased) nearly forty years ago. It has grown in favor, and today numbers among its members many brilliant and prominent men and women, besides having lodges in Texas, California, Florida, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois and many other states. Delegates from all parts of the country have written for boarding reservations, and the hospitality of our citizens will be taxed to care for them. Big Thurday Chairman W. C. Gordon of the local committee announces that the parade, drill and ball on Thursday will eclipse, all previous efforts, and all who come to the Coliseum Thursday night, August 26, will be well repaid. Prof. James W. Grant, the premier dancing master, will direct the dances, the Great Western Band will furnish its finest dance music, and the chairman assures lovers of dancing that the floor will be turned over to them at an early hour. This is the last big fraternal convention for the season and the local committee plans to make it the best. Tickets on sale at Harris' two busy drug stores, also at Mosby's drug store.

Gilbert, Stewart, Perry, Wilkins, and Rev. Graham Pearson, Garner Parker and Lane were with us. Come again, brethren. The pastor is elated over the fact that so many of the good members have taken on new life. When dead limbs are cut off, it gives the main body of the tree more vitality, and the members more life, and by their fruits ye shall know them. The trustees, stewards, stewardesses and other auxiliaries of the church are busily engaged in this, the closing out of the first year of their administration, to bring up all the claims and prove the good policy in planting Wayman congregation on the corner of 23rd and Week. It will be a long time before you will see again so mhay people in and out of the church so interested in an entertainment, as the people are in the "Japanese Wedding," under the leadership of Mrs. Bettie Earnest, E. M. Payne and others. The costumes have been purchased, the drills are in progress, the court is being prepared, and they are preparing for the biggest week's fun of the season. The fair for the week will be opened by this "Royal Wedding," Monday, August 23, at 9 p.m. Don't miss it. Poston's Band will lead the march from 2706 Lucas to the church. On Sunday, the 22nd, illustrated sermon will be delivered by the pastor, J. W. Carter. Come—all are welcome.

Infamous Race Prejudice Agitator To Be Shown at The Olympic Theatre For An Extended Run Beginning Sunday August 29. EXTRACTS FROM WEEK'S NEWS Police Board Testimonial To Exhonorates Cooper Prof. W. D. Flowers The "Birth of a Nation," Thomas Dixon's infamous picture has been booked to show at the Olympic Theater for an extended run beginning, Sunday, August 29. Dixon is the author of "The Clansman," and his late picture, "The Birth of a Nation," deals with facitious ideas concerning conditions existing between the white and colored people prior to and just after the Civil War. Mayors of all the large cities in the country have refused to permit it to be shown. It has been pronounced as dangerous, an agitator of race prejudice, low and degrading, and a breeder of race hatred. The Argus sounded a warning a few months ago on the coming of this picture and at that time the authorities promised to suppress it if objectionable. Some time ago, Miss Charlotte Rumbold, recreation head of the Park Division. EXTRACTS FROM Little Items of Interest Chicago, Ill.—The National Baptist Convention will convene here September 8-14.

Police Board Exhonorates Cooper The police bureau of efficiency has sifted charges made against Ira Cooper, a negro detective, to the effect that he had borrowed and accepted money from some of the Negro gambblers who were recently indicted by the grand jury, after investigation showed that the Negro gambling houses in the Laclede Avenue Police District were running in full blast. The board summoned several not the complainants and several declared they had given or loaned Cooper money. Cooper produced several witnesses who swore that they had been approached by some of the men who appeared against Cooper and asked to give evidence against Cooper, in an effort to "give him out of his job." As Cooper's evidence seemed unimpeachable and his record in the department exceptionally good, the board decided the charges were not worthy of further consideration and declined to certify them to the Board of Police Commissioners-for-hearing. Cooper declared the whole thing was a framedup against him, and said he would endeavor to institute prosecution against his maligners. ATTENDING THE U. B. F. AND S. M. T.

I offer here a list of names of persons who have purchased pianos from me during the month of July: Dr. Breedlove, 2038 Market; Julius Harris, Leffingwell Market; Mrs. Wagner, 2834 Lawton, Mr. Baird, No. 19 22nd St; Miss Rebecca Johnson, 2829 Laclede; Edw.

If the Negro continues to patronize me I will be in position to employ many of the younger ones in the future, of which the year 1916 should be quite profitable. We must stop carrying our money to the white man begging him to take it, when our own color is in every kind of business and commercial competition, begging our support. Every dollar we take from our own race and spend with the white man is a stumblingblock in our road of progress. I have pianos ranging from $50 to $1,000. Also cabinet talking machines from $50 up.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION GEORGIA'S SHAME At last they have lynched Leo. Frank. The mob spirit of the South again has triumphed. Another blot has been added to the badly stained escutcheon of Georgia. The typical lawless state of the nation has wrecked her vengeance on a helpless victim and flaunts her shame as a boast. From first to last the Frank case has been an unspeakable disgrace to Georgia and a travesty on justice. Only one redeeming feature stands out—the moral courage of ex-Governor Slaton in commuting Frank's sentence to life imprisonment. For that act of heroism and justice the mob spirit of Georgia wanted the Governor's life. They even marched in force to his home. Georgia sinks a bit lower—if possible—in the estimation of the nation. This is the culmination of a long series of acts of atrocity. They mock at law; they laugh at justice; they count human life cheap; they challenge the moral sense of the nation; they repudiate civilization; they taboo Christianity. Throughout her length and breadth, Georgia is a barbaric, passion-swayed horde, which, under the disguise of a commonwealth, sits in the sisterhood of States, her citizens lower than a tribe of Apaches—because the Apaches knew no better. Of course there will be an "investigation"; and they will pass "resolutions;" and they will "exonerate" the prison officials; and there it will all end. Speaking upon this crime, Secretary of the Navy Daniels said: "The great bulk of the Southern people know that such instances, perpetrated by the few and indorsed by a small minority, work injury to their section." Mr. Daniels is wholly in error. "The great bulk of Southern people" are either in favor of, or passively indifferent to lynching; else the crime could and would be wiped out in the south. And moreover, if they "Know it works injury to their section" they certainly do not care. To the same effect speaks Governor Harris when he says: "The people of Georgia will not approve of this action." We fear his enthusiasm is greater than his truth. As to his personal approval or disapproval, we must wait to see what steps he takes towards punishing the murderers of Frank and violators of rights guaranteed under the law. Negroes of St. Louis—you who were born or raised in Georgia—if you are not unspeakably ashamed of your State, we are ashamed of you. As parents may disown dishonorable children, or children unworthy parents, so should every Georgia Negro forswear allegiance or loyalty to a state that has always considered our color lower than a dog, and now stoops to the further crime of lynching one of its own color. What chance now can a Negro have in Georgia—disgraced and shameless Georgia! SOME THOUGHTS ON SEGREGATION If they segregate the Negro, why not segregate the Italian, the Pole, and all the other races? They are not even American. We are. Why not segregate the Jew? He is of another race, though American, like ourselves. Because they are not prejudiced against these races and they are prejudiced against us. But is prejudice a just or legal cause? If they should attempt to segregate any other race, what would happen? That race would get together in the splendid unity they all manifest on occasion and issue a mighty and concerted protest. They might even resist the attempt by force of arms. Then shall we swallow an insult without a protest or be branded without resistance? If this segregation movement originated with the real-estate speculators and is designed wholly and only to protect certain private interests, have they any right, under the charter or constitution, to further their ends by the use of public monies? As tax-payers, are we going to stand idly by and see the treasury, our treasury, drawn upon to pay the costs of lawless, prejudiced speculators in furthering their own game? Man is a gregarious animal; he prefers to live in rare groups. But he refuses to be forced to live in such groups. Left to ourselves, we naturally gravitate towards Negro communities. Generally speaking, like all other races, we segregate ourselves. But shall we let the other fellow proscribe our bounds and set our limits, whether we will or not? These are thoughts worth considering. Now let the Negro manhood and womanhood of St. Louis assert itself, attending the antisegregation mass meetings being held from time to time. Speak and act! Get together! United we stand, but divided we fall. Famous Beauty Culturist Is Originator of Vira System and President of the Vira College.

THE BOOKER WASHINGTON Perrin and Crosby, Bonnie and Semoura, Harry Brown, Mayme Selly, Form Attractive A good variety bill, composed of a series of artistic flashes, just enough to keep the audience at a high pigh of expectancy is on the boards at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. Miss Mayme Selly opens the show with three song numbers, "Good Bye, Summer," "Rag Time In Dixie Land," and "Don't Blame Me." She does a little dancing and her work is passable. A Bonnie and Sequoia, favorites here, return, and have perhaps the best act we have seen then in. Semoura is improving as an actress and is getting appreciative applause on both her singing and dancing. Bonnie is featuring an artistic toe dance that is far superior to anything of the kind previously shown on this stage. Considering the fact that he is an impersonator, his grace is wonderful. The team songs several songs and closes with a musical number that takes the house by storm when Bonnie discloses his deception. Harry Brown, the singing crayon artist, is duplicating his previous success here. Mr. Brown's lightning drawings always culminate into a perfect picture and his musical accompaniment adds sentiment and sometimes pathos to his work. He is featuring "An Indian Maid," "Mother," and "Rock of Ages." Perrin and Crosby have a musical act that is out of the ordinary and decisively unique. The scene is laid in a family back yard on wash day. Perrin, as the school boy, always late, who can do anything he wants to, "but don't want ta," keeps up a stream of merriment with his comedy. The team converts everything in the yard into musical instruments. The old table contains musical coins. The clothesprop and a saw are a violin and bow. The clothespins are a calliope and the clothes themselves become musical bells, on which sweet melodies are played. The act goes big and draws round after round of ringing applause. Saturday night will see the final in the "Blues Contest," a half dozen well known pianists will compete for the championship and supremacy.

Lady Attendant. Larry Attendman. Weak Madison Developed. NOTE—Those calling for professional queue and frivolous persons are only waiting time calling on Prof. Giadotts. 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 psychical 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 longing, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark sham which separates the human body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be is 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 exploited, its treasure laid bare to his mysterious perceptive mind, it gives names, dates, facts and figures, he is founded at the revelations he makes to him. He is surely a man of the passim time. GLADSTONE is not a clairvoyant 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 child inheritance together with the combined power of generations. No matter what your present trouble may be or what your past experience has been, you will save time and avoid disappointment by at once consulting Gladstone. NOTE—Gladstone anews no letters. if you cannot call in person, do not write. as his time is fully occupied with his personal callers. TAKE WELLSTOR HODIAMONT OR HAMILTON CARS
