St. Louis Argus

ST. LOUIS SELECTED FOR BIG 1917 CONVENTIONS K. OF P. BOOSTERS BRING SUPREME LODGE HERE Organization Headed by General Butler, and Supported by Guarantee From All Greater St. Louis Clubs. Takes Columbus by Storm. Wins Hands Down. Famous Mound City Drill Company Retains Championship The Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias in session at Columbus, O., last week selected St. Louis for the big meeting and encampment in 1917. The St. Louis Boosters' Committee, headed by Gen. Wm. H. Butler and his able assistants, Col. Chas. A. Mills, Col. Clarence Flemming, Major C. Smith, Major Marshall, Major Wm. Mack, Capt. Morgan and Dr. Scott, acted as an auxiliary to the Supreme representatives and stormed Columbus. Gen. Butler surely surrounded himself with a staff of real-life wire boosters, who succeeded in getting away with everything they went after. The Boosters are full of enthusiasm and the Argus reporter found them hard at work, at this early day, laying plains and arranging to make the encampment the greatest in the history of the Lodge and a monument to St. Louis. With everybody working in harmony like Trojans, General Butler and his men easily overcame their only obstacle, a trivial opposition to their own堡, a trivial assistance was given by Bruster of Indiana, Wilson of Kentucky, McCary of Michigan, and Pope of Pennsylvania. Wm. E. Osborne, of St. Louis, was the only member from St. Louis to receive an office in the Supreme House. He also labored night and day in behalf of the Boosters. Captain Jas, Shackelford, of Mound City Co. C, retained his honors as a drill master without a peer, by bringing back to the Mound City the first prize, consisting of $300 in gold and a $150 silk flag. Although there were only 24 men in his company, they won their laurels after competing with the whole country, including the entire 8th regiment of Chicago. So beautiful and precious was the work of this famous drill team that the enthusiasm it created necessitated the judges calling a halt to quiet the big audience. Col. Chas. A. Mills, General Butler's able assistant and commissary general, with his Missouri Mule and Cart, created a riot in the Ohio city.

Miss English has fitted up an up-to-date place with private booths. She is the first in the city to introduce the shampoo board and shampoo spray for the colored trade. Another innovation is the giving of first treatments for 50 cents and a box of oil free. She also makes the treatments of baldness a specialty. The parlor fixtures are pure white and are most attractive. Miss English is a graduate of the Molar School and uses that system. HOUSE PARTY A SUCCESS The house party by the Y. P. S. of the All Saints Church, netted $18.60 for the Pure Milk and free Ice Fund. This is double the largest amount returned by any other club, yet the "Post-Dispatch" refused to print their pictures on pretence of having too many pictures on hand. Wm. H.

Pope Malone, Saturday eve, August 14, more than two hundred citizens gathered at her beautiful residence. So harmonious and ready was the response that all left with a smilling countenance. Feeling as we did that the home of Mrs. Malone had been thrown open to the public at large, visitors and strangers alike, and that she is the embodiment of love and hospitality, we could only express our deep appreciation, in part, of how we esteem her greatness. To St. Louis she is much—to her race she is more—to womanhood she is all, and we do hope for more good women like her. The party gathered through the kindness of Rev. Parr at the Presbyterian Church and marched in a body to her home. The sight was beautiful to behold. Coached by Miss A. L. Harris, they stormed the place by singing a jubilee song, after which a program was rendered. There were solos by Mrs. Cleo Dore, Mrs. Grace Carlington, Mrs. Davis, of Louisville, Ky., and Mrs. Bishop Walters. Recitations by Mrs. Ida Allen, Miss A. L. Harris, and Mrs. P. Green. All were well received.

What with drives and smashes the war censor is encroaching upon golf preserves. The dove of peace does not attempt to include domestic politics in its sphere of influence. A man who preaches thrift and tries to borrow a dollar after the sermon makes few converts. The poor man loses no sleep in the anxious thought that someone may be after him with a bomb. By whatever name a submarine is known, it is now recognized as a highly desirable asset to a navy. Diplomacy has great value in assuring a sufficient lapse of time to permit the emotions to subside. If submarines cannot conform to the old rules of warfare, the rules must conform to the submarines. The tiny mosquito has arrayed against it may big men. And let them beware that they get stung. The energy that is exhausted in dodging work would earn a great deal of money if exerted at a woodpile. Force of example can hardly be refused when even the pesky little army worm has begun to get a move on him. “What else do the people want me to invent?” asks Thomas A. Edison. We could use a self-shoving lawn mower. The average woman believes that she had been in Eve's place Adam would still be the head gardener of Eden. A machine has been invented that makes 1,800 pies an hour. In pies quality and not quantity is the desideratum. The big crops which greet the American farmer enable the innocent bystander for once to come into his reward. Although we have no crowned heads in this country, whenever a movie queen blows into a town there is quite a commotion. When a married woman goes on the lecture platform to air her rights, it's a safe bet her husband is at home nursing his wrongs. The war correspondent who devotes two columns to telling how he was arrested has an exaggerated idea of his own importance. There's a screw loose somewhere when a minister gets the princely salary of $400 a year, and a baseball player only gets $4,000. Bangs are said to be the college students' latest fad. Which, of course, will set off a lot of knockers against the college students. When a European government cannot suppress an enemy it can at least suppress the newspapers that venture to refer to the fact. A writer in the New York Sun says that monkeys are the most intelligent of animals, but that is no reason for making one of yourself. The United States boasts a healthy trade balance, but as a matter of fact it isn't at all healthy, being the direct result of a world disease. After a woman has been married about six weeks she goes around with an expression on her face that looks suspiciously like wisdom. No one who has ever gazed on the old-time crazy quilt will question the ability of woman to master the complexities of the Australian ballot. Stung by the boat race and baseball defeats, Harvard now thinks she's got Yale on the hip by claiming to have the "most beautiful man in the world." A noted grand opera star says she abhors matrimony. However, she has never married and even matrimony should not be condemned without a fair trial. "Pop eye" is a new disease affecting fish reported by the New York state conservation department. We thought only humans got it, listening to returned anglers' yarns. Secretary Lane estimates that America loan tourists who used to spend $100,000,000 a year in Europe are spending it at home this summer. Incidentally: America is being discovered by Ameri- one. A large number of persons from here attended the picnic at Eads, last Saturday.....Mr. Wayman Chappelle is at Herculaneum, for an indefinite stay.....Mr. Sylvester Swink spent Sunday with friends at Avon.....The members of the A.

WHAT SOME FOOLS THINK One-third of the fools in this country think they can beat a lawyer expounding the laws. One-half think they can beat the doctor healing the sick. Two-thirds of them think they can put the minister in a hole expounding the gospel, and all of them think they can beat the editor running a paper. [Image of a man with a serious expression, wearing a suit and tie]. CHAS. H. WATKING I am now handling my own pianos, own and manage my own store, and am in a position to compete in prices and quality with the largest piano dealers in this or any other city. 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. Dix, 2644 Lawton; Miss Lenora Hayes, 2015 Chestnut; Mrs. Anna Franklin, 3017 Adams; Miss Ora Lightning, 2219 Market. 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.

Though advertised extensively on bill-boards and in the press for the past three weeks, no steps were taken until a day or two 4 agg,to. prevent the showing Of this.picture-play. It will be a diffi- cult task now to kill this “Birth of a Nation;” it should kave-been aborted weeks ago. The unlimited capital behind it, and more cs- pecially the large amount of money already spent ingadvertising its coming here, will cause its owners to fight vigorously ‘any pro- test we may put up. Having.spent so much, they will willingly spend more-to-fill the engagement, and-even. city. officials are_not immune against being bought off. z i When we first sounded our warning, weeks ago, we had not seen “The Birth of a Nation.” We spoke from the information gathered from our eastern: papers. Since then we saw the produe- tion in Chicago, while the Chicago Censor Board ordered some of the objectionable scenes cut out, what we did see was énough to make any self-respecting Negro’s blood run cold, and “enotish to make any self-respecting white person ashamed of his own race for producing and witnessing such a’ dastardly and diabolical at- tempt to belittle the colored people and create universal sentiment against them. > Taste * ‘ a: Ta the namé-of justice; it the name-of-rights, in-the-name-of feligion—in the name of peace, we call upon the Mayor and the Chief of Police to.stop the showing of “The Birth of a Nation.” 7 If they do not, and the St. Louis. Negro has anything like the pride and decency and self-respect and courage of his brothers in the East, he will repeat the scenes that have taken place in those cities where the film was allowed to be screened.

Of all the officials and citizens examined, not one threw the slightest light upon the identity. of the murderers of Frank. Strange! Had it happened in this city, we might understand how the identity of the mob could be unknown. But out in the county and ina country town, where éverybodyis business is everybody else's it seems strange that not one official or citizen examined knew the identity of a single member of that mob. Sia And yet they say‘ the people of Georgia do not approve of that crime! Then why" conceal the murderers?~ An accessory, after the fact, is equally guilty with the’real criminal, ; . TURN ABOUT IS FAIR PLAY Those white people ‘whose business is supported largely, df not entirély, by colored patrons, owe it tr uly hire colored hel wherever it is possible to do so." In every tase, it is possible to hire“at least a porter. Yet there are many places. living almost wholly off the Negro, whefe there is not a Negro employed. Turn about is fair play. If we are making your living for you, Mr. Business Man,.the least you can‘ do is to give us one little job. But another side to the question. The business that the Ne- gro helps to support, and that will not support him in the way ol employment, that business-the Negro should boycbtt. Turn about is fair play, and it’s a poor rule that won't work both ways, We cannot understand why so many Negroes will continue today to patronize the white business man, when he knows thal the man has no use for hii beyond the money he spends, and would not give him, or any other Negro, a job even to keep him from starving. We cannot understand why, when, there ares many other picture-houses on Market Street, Negroes will flock in crowds to the Retina, when that, house refuses point-blank to. rein- ‘state the colored employee it decteck pos weeks ago and re- fused to hire any other-colored employee. | : ~~ But then, there are lots of thingd about the Nog hat we “cannot understand.

One or more decayed teeth, with consequent infection, may so impair the vitality of a child that physical and intellect- ual_development is hindercd. Thus weakened, such a child be- jcomes'a ‘dullard in school, and. when adult life is reached, he is found as a member of the defective class, and he becomes a burden, possibly a. dan- ger, to the community in which he lives. ‘ Sst Relieved of this impairment in early life, the child is likely to. grow into’a self-supporting, self-respecting man, gndowed. with intelligence’ and cap- able of contributing. more or less to the common welfare. Deformities of the jaws, malposed and decayed teeth, and.diseased gums interfere with the proper develop- ment-of the Sete Diba 2as pee aay Then, along with the development of the mind, mouth hygiene should be given its place among the children, Let us remember that the futare of our race is largely in our keeping.
