NEGROES IN FLOOD DISTRICT BADLY TREATED FORCED TO WORK IN RAIN BY UNITED STATES SOLDIERS. SLEEP IN ONE ROOM ON WET FLOOR. RELIEF COMMITTEE AT TEXAS CITY APPEALS FOR AID. Special to The Argus: Texas City, Texas, August 24.—The Colored Relief Committee of this city is appealing to the American negro and especially the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to aid more than 500 of the race who are in distress on account of the recent big storm. In the circular sent out, complaint is made that many are without shelter or household goods. The communication goes farther to state: "In face of all this, our race alone were made prisoners and forced to work on the streets five days in the rain, and oftimes in ditches waist deep, under United States soldiers at the point of a gun. Our women were treated most shamefully, kept under guard of United States soldiers and the sick were not allowed medical attention. Those who attempted to escape were threatened with a whipping." The article presents many pitiful and inhuman instances and states that no effort was made to save their furniture and clothing and all is lost. In their appeals for aid, they ask that all contributions be sent to R. P. Breed, secretary, P. O. Box 542 (American Express), Texas City, Texas. An Argus reporter would have told of the many parties held at this popular cafe during the past week, but gave up the idea of an interview with the managers after several calls, on account of the rush. Mr. Rice is a cuisine "kranki." Everything must be "just so" for his patrons, and a mere newspaper "reporter stands small chance for recognition when a customer is to be served. It is sufficient to say that, for style, quality and service, the Silver Grill has "got 'em" and St. Louisans who appreciate good service are well aware of the fact. JANITORS HONOR ROBINSON Janitors, who called at their headquarters in the Municipal Courts Building Wednesday, were surprised with a treat from a box of cigars offered "by Assistant Chief Shaffner. The sequel of the generosity laid in the fact that this was the half century birthday anniversary of their chief, Wm. H. Robinson, custodian of the city's buildings. One of their number, Harry Denny, devised a unique surprise. A subscription was taken and an amount raised sufficient to purchase a $25 watch. This was presented at a party given at the residence of Mr. Robinson, 2805a Clark Avenue, at night. Through the generosity of Messrs. McElroy and Langston, the Odd Fellows Band appeared at an unexpected hour and enlivened the occasion. Speeches were made by Messrs. Winn, Covington and others and a royal big time was had. The guests departed at an early morning hour, pledging allegiance to their chief and his valuable assistants. To the Fair-Minded Public: Whereas, there is being shown a photo-play entitled, "The Birth of a Nation," said play having been booked to run five weeks, beginning August 29, and Whereas, we believe the production of the play in the city of St. Louis will be detrimental to peace and harmony between the white and negro races, and, Wherea, the play deals with times and scenes that belong to the happily forgotten past, and portrays the negro in a biased and unfair light, therefore be it. Resolved. That we do earnestly add our protest to that of many other good citizens against the production of the play, and hereby call upon the proper authorities to prevent the same. COL. ALEX SLATER HOST TO THIRTY AT OMAHA CAPITAL \ EMPLOYEE \ GAVE GREAT FEED TO PROMINENT NEGROES, INCLUDING GRAND MASTERS OF MASONS AND U. B. F. NELSON CREWS EUOLOGIZES HOST. RESOLUTION ADOPTED. By wireless from Omaha, Neb., came the report to the Capital News last night of the banquet given by Col. Alex Slater, of Jefferson City, colored custodian and supporting pillar of the Department of State, to the national officers of the United Brothers of Friendship, Wednesday at 12:30 p. m. Presiding with dignity at the head of the table sat Col. Slater, attired in his "gladdest raiment." He wore a long Prince Albert coat and gray trousers, and white waistcoat. A modest diamond sparkled in his white tie. At his right sat Dr. J. T. Caston, of St. Louis, grand master of the U. B. F., and at his left sat Nelson Crews, of Kansas City, eloquent negro orator and grand master of the Masonic lodge of his race in Missouri. Two other Jefferson City men were present, these being the Rev. Goins and Duke Diggs. Blind Boone, famous blind musician, also attended. Rev. J. W. Hurse invoked divine blessing on the host and his guests, after which Col. Slater made a few "well chosen remarks," according to our wireless. He then called upon Nelson Crews for a speech, in which the latter, with characteristic eloquence, thanked Alex for the magnificent spread. After these formal ceremonies were disposed of Col. Slater began serving the fried chicken and other good things to his guest. The following was the menu: Fried Chicken a la Sedalia French Fried Potatoes Boiled Missouri Potatoes Corn on the Cob Boiled Cabbage and Bacon Corn Bread and White Bread Dessert Ice Cream Cake Coffee Cigars. Following is the resolution adopted by the guests: "Resolved, that we tender the host, Brother Alex Slater, our sincere thanks and appreciation for his sustained courtesy to the U. B. F. Grand Lodge and commend him for his excellent representation in public life of the race." The resolution was unanimously adopted. Very complimentary remarks were offered by Prof. C. C. Williams, of Boonville, Mo., who has known Mr. Slater from childhood. Rev. Goins, of Jefferson City, who resided in the same city with Mr. Slater, and Prof. S. T. Pettigrew, of Huntsville, who had also known the gentleman for a number of years. The gentlemen then arose, singing, "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," led by Hon. N. C. Crews. Let all the women rally to the call for racial defense and protection of our homes against residential segregation and vice. Meet promptly at 8 p. m. at Union Memorial Church, Monday, September 6. All women solicitors who constitute the Auxiliary Finance Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Committee on Anti-Segregation, are urged to make reports at the meeting. Greetings are expected and solicited from every organized work among negro women of the city, most especially from the City Federation of Clubs. The Order of Calanthe, S. M. T's, and E. S., Heroines of Jericho Courts, Household of Ruth's Daughters of Tabernacles, United Sisters, Ruth, Faith, Rebecca, Samaritan Relief, Hope and Christian Mutual Aids and missionary societies. Let all these women rally. It is not enough simply to rally in our separate fields for mutual relief and succor and self-improvement, but the signs of the times demand that we unite for racial protection and defense. Pray for the cause and come prepared' to act. ANTIOCH SPECIAL Special train of the Antioch Baptist Association will leave for Chicago Tuesday night. Round trip. $11.60. C. & A. R. R.

Douglass, the popular young Elleardsville druggist, has purchased the Jones Drug Company's store at Pendleton and North Market Street. Mr. Douglass has been at this store since it came under the Jones management a couple of years ago, and has been a conspicuous figure in its development. Mr. Jones told an Argus reporter this week that the business of the two stores at Pendleton and North Market and North Market and Sarah and Finney, had grown beyond his personal management. Mr. Douglass has held an option on the Pendleton Avenue store since its opening and decided to take it over September 1. The same prompt, reliable, high grade and popular priced service will be maintained and Mr. Douglass is quite competent to continue the excellent satisfaction this store has given its patrons. Mr. Jones will confine his time to the Sarah-Finney Pharmacy, where he has endeared himself to his large trade. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. F. F. Martyn, the pastor, will preach next Sunday; both morning and night. Baptizing will follow the morning service. Covenant and communion service in the afternoon, at 3 o'clock. Dr. Martyn will leave Monday morning to attend the National Baptist Convention in Chicago. Murphysboro, Illinois, Sept. 1.—Joe Deberry, a negro, was found guilty on the charge of killing Mrs. James H. Martin, wife of an attorney, and sentenced to hang October 16. Martin died from the shock following his wife's death. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC The Commercial Hotel, 2847 Morgan Street, is now offering special rates for the summer season to societies, lodges, clubs and baseball teams. We have seventy-nine neatly furnished rooms with fifteen free baths. Cool rooms, electric lights and a private dining room on the second floor. Nothing but home cooking.

Be it resolved, That special efforts be made this ensuing year to arouse and interest the young women, that they might cultivate appreciation for the work, and thereby attain spiritual growth and soul life by organized auxiliary effort. We, therefore, endorse the District Organizer's plan to institute auxiliaries among young women wherever possible. Resolved, That we urge upon the missionary women in every church to contribute their necessary part to the success of the Methodist Forward Movement so signally directed by our good, efficient Bishop Henderson, and in this we are again ad- (Continued On Page 8) Restaurant Prices Go Down At Ferguson's St. Louisans who remember the good old days before the World's Fair can well recall the time when a good wholesome meal could be had in a restaurant for 15 cents. Prices went up during the city's historical event of 1904 and have all but excluded the moderate spender. Those days have returned, however, at the Ferguson Cafe and Lunch Room at Jefferson and Lawton. Patrons of that establishment are being served with soup, choice of a half dozen meats, three vegetables, two kinds of bread and dessert for 15 cents. A meal that would cost 25 or 30 cents a year ago. Mr. H. S. Ferguson is giving his personal attention to the cooking and no better caterer is to be found in the city. Regular dinners can be had from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. and short orders at any hour day or night. The low prices at this well-kept cafe preclude any reason for rushing to the Greeks for so-called "larger meals" for the money." W. L. MAJORS, OF ST. LOUIS, MAKES GOOD Special to The Argus: Chicago, Sept. I.-W. L. Majors, president of the Oxford College of Hair Culture, St. Louis, Mo., is demonstrating his seventeen toilet preparations and new invention for, purifying the scalp, thereby causing the hair to grow. His booth in the Coliseum is very artistic and large crowds daily witness his demonstration. Many ladies have signed up for the course in hair culture. Mr. Majors is one of the most prosperous young business men of the race. He owns a three-story building and two automobiles. Visitors to the Lincoln Celebration should visit Mr. Majors' booth, get samples and see his high class exhibit. Mr. Majors has "hit the trail" in the business world and by thrift, philanthropy and business foresight he has established one of the most scientific hair cultural colleges in America. St. Louis should be proud of such a distinguished citizen. WILLIAMS JUBILEE SINGERS Peoria, Ill., Special to Argus: The Wilma's Jubilee Singers appeared at the First Baptist Church (white) in this city August 24, before a large audience of white and colored people. Their selections were well rendered and the audience was well pleased. They have recently returned from an extensive trip through Europe. SUPREME LODGE OFFICIALS CITED TO APPEAR MUST SHOW CAUSE WHY THEY SHOULD NOT BE FINED AND IMPRISONED FOR DISOBEYING AN INJUNCTION — REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE GRAND LODGE, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS OF VIRGINIA. Washington, D. C., Aug. 28, 1915. —The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Mr. Justice Siddons presiding, upon motion of counsel for the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of Virginia, issued a rule against the Supreme Lodge officials, who were last week in session at Columbus, Ohio, requiring S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor, of New Orleans, La., E. E. Underwood, Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, Frankfort, Ky., S. A. T. Watkins, Supreme Attorney, Chicago, Ill., and R. R. Jackson, Major General, Chicago, Ill., to appear before the Court, Friday, October 8, to show cause why they should not be fined and imprisoned for disobeying an injunction issued by the Supreme Court. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green and his associates refused to admit the Supreme Representatives of the Grand Lodge to the sessions of the Supreme Lodge at Columbus, Ohio, and also declined to recognize them as members of the Order in any way, although the order of the Supreme Court had been served upon them and printed copies had been distributed to members of the Supreme Lodge. The Virginia delegation remained in Columbus until Friday evening, August 21, 1915, after which time they left for home. They first notified the Supreme Lodge through counsel that they would take this course. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., and the Virginia Representatives stopped here last Saturday. On Saturday, the Supreme Lodge voted again to revoke the charter of Virginia after a stormy debate, led by Supreme Representative William Harrison, of Oklahoma. The Grand Lodge of Virginia was not represented at the time and no notice had been given to its representatives as to when the case would be taken up. The specific part of the injunction which affects the contempt proceedings is as follows: "Adjudged, ordered and decreed that the defendants and each of them and their officers, agents and attorneys and all others on their behalf, be and they are hereby restrained, during the pendency of this suit, or until the further order of the Court from declaring or treating the lodges subordinate to the plaintiff in the State of Virginia and the members attached to the same as not entitled to the rights and privileges of members of the order of the defendant corporation." LINCOLN JUBILEE, CHIAGO Should you desire to see what the race has done and accomplished in the past fifty years, along educational, industrial and scientific lines, the Lincoln Jubilee, which is now being held in Chicago at the Coliseum, affords this opportunity. A million dollar exhibit is shown to thousands daily. Missouri is well represented. Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, has quite a display of the work done by the students, which is a credit to the school. From St. Louis may be seen a nice booth representing Poro College. Mr. and Mrs. Malone and Miss Maudelle McMurray are in attendance daily. Pennants and beautiful samples are distributed. Walter L. Majors, of the Oxford College, with seventeen different preparations of hair and beauty culture, seems to attract a deal of attention in his demonstrations. He has a nice exhibit. An exhibit from Mound Bayou, Miss, attracts a deal of attention. Perhaps the best along the industrial line to be seen was from the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn. Large and enthusiastic crowds are in attendance daily. The Exposition will continue until September 16. Five thousand dollars reward for the arrest and conviction of any person or persons failing to attend the thirty-eighth annual reception of the Onward Commandery No. 2 K.

Prizes to every person selling tickets DRAKE-WALKER COMEDY COMPANY AT B.W. THEATRE FIFTEEN PEOPLE IN CAST. CARRIES OWN BAND. NO ADVANCE IN PRICES. PAY DAYS WILL BE SUSPENDED DURING THIS ENGAGEMENT. CAPACITY HOUSES EXPECTED. Henry Drake and Ethel Walker will be seen at the Booker Washington Theater next week, beginning Monday, in a musical comedy entitled, "John Green in New York." The supporting company consists of fifteen performers. This is undoubtedly the biggest attraction Mr. Turpin has ever booked at his popular house and the first time a real musical comedy show has been offered at the regular vaudeville price. The play is in two acts, is brimful of rich comedy, tuneful melodies and sprightly dances. It displays a wealth of elegant costumes, brilliant scenery and pretty faces. One of the special features is the famous Honolulu Girls. The company also carries its own band and will give a big concert in front of the theatre each evening at 7 o'clock. They have just finished a nine weeks record-breaking run in Chicago, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, after touring the East and taking it by storm. Three shows will be given every night during the engagement, at 7:30, 9 and 10:30. There will be no advance in prices. The doors will be open at 6:30. Mr. Turpin announces that "Pay Days" will be suspended during this engagement. As no seats are reserved in advance, at this theatre, patrons should go early. There is no doubt that a packed house will witness each performance. At Crystal City At Crystal City Labor Day will be the last big time at Crystal City, perhaps, this season. It is hoped that all who have attended in the past will be out to witness the closing. A rare treat is in store for all. Dr. Shaw says: "Come out, I want to bid you all farewell and thank you" When pressed for a statement in regard to the financial success of Crystal City, an officer of the church stated that the affair had netted quite a nice sum. But he could not give out the exact figures until after Labor Day. At Metropolitan Church After, Sunday, Dr. Shaw will be absent from his charge for about a month. He will take a much needed rest. During the past twelve months he has been almost constantly on the go, working in the interest of the church, making untold sacrifice that the community might have such a church. All members and friends are requested to be out Sunday and hear his farewell sermon. He expects to leave Wednesday night. He wants to bid you good-bye. Y. M. C. A TO BEGIN FALL WORK With the beginning of Fall, the Y. M. C. A. begins its new program of activities for its members. The secretary, Mr. David D. Jones, said to an Argus reporter that the summer's work had been satisfactory in every way as far as the limited equipment would allow. He also said that every day showed the necessity for a new building and equipment such as Chicago, Indianapolis and Kansas City already have. The big men's meetings will open on September 19 and already plans have been made for a large gathering. Dr. F. F. Martyn has been secured to be the first speaker at this opening meeting. Beginning the 1st of September, a campaign to secure a larger list of boys for the boys' department will be started. The membership in the Boys' Department will be 50 cents a year. A special room will be fitted up for the boys. New games will also be added. Many Bible classes and boys' meetings are to be held. In this way we hope to interest and help a larger number of boys. ST. PAUL NOTES Last quarterly, meeting at St. Paul Chapel next, Sunday. Next Sunday will be the last quarterly meeting for this conference year at St. Paul Chapel. The pastor has arranged for three great sermons. Preaching at 11 a. m. by Rev. J. F. Sage, presiding elder. Three p. m. Rev. J. K.

John Hancock UPON the Declaration of Independence his name may be read without spectacles. His signature was the first subscribed to the world's most famous State document. In the most realistic sense John Hancock pledged his life and his fortune to the cause of the Revolution. He was one of the richest men in the colonies, holding investments in banks, breweries, stores, hotels, and also owning a fleet of vessels. The seizure of one of these precipitated the Boston massacre. In Revolutionary days and until his death he was a popular idol. When it was proposed to bombard Boston, though it would have resulted in greater personal loss to him than to any other property owner, he begged that no regard be paid to him because of his financial interests. While Hancock did not sign the Constitution of the United States, he used his great influence in its behalf, which awakened the gratitude of Washington. "He was prepossessing in manner, and passionately food of the elegant pleasures of life, of dancing, music, concerts, routs, assemblies. P Messages From the Cross By REV. GEORGE E. GULLE Bible Teacher, Extension Department, North Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—And they crucified him, Matt. 27:38. No one can read this story without being struck by the arduous manner in which it is told. The writer, if left to his own wisdom, would have filled page after page, omitting no detail and adding imposing imagery of every kind to heighten the effect. The Spirit of God is the narrator of these events and in them he is telling the story which, however slow man may be to hear, be most PETER H. delights to talk. And thus he has written down, as a part of Holy Scripture, certain things that transpired, that, wherever the story of the cross should be told, these things must be told in connection therewith. Let us look at three of these. The Place. First, then, the place of the crucifixion will speak to us. "And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, the place of a skull." There, at the "place of a skull"—the utter wreck of human wisdom, did they put to death the "Wisdom of God." "For of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who has made unto us wisdom from God." The world boasts of its wisdom today, boasts of the achievements of science and philosophy, but for the most real problems—sin and death, it has found no solution, nor has it taught us anything about God. "The world by wisdom knew not God." "And the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness." Herein is the offense of the cross, that it sets aside all of man's wisdom forever, as well as all his glory. The Greeks were wisdom worshipers, but at Corinth the apostle would know nothing "save Jesus Christ and him crucified," the cross in all its marvelous attractiveness for hearts enlightened from above, in all its intolerable repugniveness for unregenerate men. Modern rationalism desplaces the cross, but the humblest believer in it has found it to be what the apostle declares, "The power of God and the wisdom of God." The Crown of Thorns. The last king of David's line to be crowned at Jerusalem is crowned with thorns. In derision they crown him, but the Spirit of God writes it down, for that crown symbolizes the curse which he has come to put away. In Genesis 3 we read of the curse pronounced upon creation because of man's sin: "Cursed is the ground for thy sake . . . thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth unto thee." Thorns, then, have become the emblem of the curse of sin, and now we see them on the Savior's brow. "In sorrow," goes on the pronouncement, "shalt thou eat of it," but the One who wears the crown of thorns is the "Man of Sorrows," saying, as he goes to the cross, "Now is my soul exceeding sorrowful, even unto death." "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread," and of him who hangs on the cross it is written, "His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling from him." So the thorns are telling of what he is made for us: "Christ hath delivered us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us, as it is written, cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree." "Made a curse!" How simple to utter the words; how unutterable the depth of their meaning! The Supernatural Darkness. "The darkness sought his woes to hide," is a beautiful hymn which sometimes we sing, but it does not explain that awful darkness. That "darkness over all the land" is witness that God, who is light, has withdrawn his presence from a scene in which he can have no part. And it was a faint outward expression of a deeper darkness that pressed upon the Savior's soul. And thus his own cry interprets it: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me!" And there is no answer from God. Where shall we find the answer to that cry of forsaken sorrow? We have but to turn to the Twenty-second Psalm, from which it is quoted, and there we shall find the Holy Sufferer answering his own question. "Thou art holy, oh thou' wha inhabitest the praises of Israel." God is holy and he turns away. "Thou art of purer eyes than to behold sinity and canst not look upon sin." Christ in the darkness, Christ forsaken of God is Christ "made sin." "He hath made him to be sin for us." And this was his anguish. To Calvary they take him, as unfit to die within the holy city. "For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate." Christ on Calvary, Christ abandoned, is the true sin offering. Following the lesson of last week we have (ch. 18:1-16) the interesting account of Ahab's search for Elijah and of the prophet's meeting with Obadiah. Verses 5 and 6 suggest the severity of the drought in the land. Ahab's accusation, "Art thou he that troubleth Israel," is replied to by Elijah's challenge regarding a contest between himself, the representative of Jehovah, and the king's prophets representing Baal, (vv. 17-28). In accordance with the stipulations the prophets of Baal accepted the challenge and most miserably failed (vv. 26-29). The place of this dramatic contest was Mt. Carmel (see map) and the time probably B. C. 908. On Carmel's crown now swarms a count- less thaw With a soul to stand for God 'Gainst millions in the wrong' —George L. Taylor, Elijah gave the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 priests of the groves (v. 19) every advantage possible that he might the more clearly unmask their error and make more signal their defeat. Their frenzied cries and self-injury continued fruitlessly until 3:00 p.m. Then Elijah announces the details which were to remove all possible doubt as to whose champion he was or who is to answer his petition. (a) He calls the people together (v. 30) drawing them nigh to God and challenging their undivided attention after the confusion produced by the priests and their consternation over their defeat. (b) He constructs the altar (vv. 30-31). Any true and lasting reformation must begin at the altars of God. Restore one in the heart, the home and church and there will return to all unity and strength. Note Elijah's insistence upon an undivided nation, as suggested by the "twelve stones." While any lasting reformation must begin in the individual heart, still if it is true and genuine it will work itself out in the nation. "Israel shall be thy name." The "prince that prevails with God," who had wrought for their fathers, who answered Jacob's prayer, is now about to answer Elijah. This altar was not constructed as a monument to departed one, nor for the ornamentation of the house of God. It was in God's first cathedral and for his glory alone. On this altar Elijah placed his sacrifice. Again Israel is to prevail over its enemies; this time those within, not those from without. (c) He covered the altar (vv. 33,34) e.g., poured water upon it to remove all possible accusation of fraud or trickery. The trench "as great as would contain two measures of seed" (v. 32) is equivalent to six gallons. Three times water was taken from the spring, still flowing at this place, and poured upon the altar, twelve jars in all again symbolizing the twelve tribes. 11. Elijah's Prayer, vv, 36,37. The great prophet even could only secure through prayer his desired blessing though its purpose was "that this people may know that thou Lord art God." His prayer was: (a) Addressed to God; (b) Grounded upon experience, that of "Abraham, Isaac and Jacob;" (c) It was for one purpose, the honor of that name; (d) It was to sanction his act in calling forth the drought upon Israel as a punishment for the sin of princes, priests and people; (e) It was founded upon the word of Jehovah, to corroborate and to affirm the works done "at thy word;" (f) It was for the conversion of the people, that their hearts might be turned back to Jehovah once more. Elijah, the man of faith, staked his all upon the Word of God, he gave himself up wholly to the plans and purposes of God, and relied explicitly upon the covenant-keeping God. III. God's Power, vv. 38-40. We are confident Elijah had never seen fire fall and that he must have realized the awful catastrophe involved if it did not fall. Yet he fearlessly makes his plea and the fire fell. It was not an accidental strokes of lightning. God, the creator, worked upon the laws of nature, his servant, and wrought confusion to his enemies. It would be a strange God and father who could not use his own laws and creation to produce a moral effect. The abundance of proof was that not only the offering, but the water and the very stones of the altar were consumed. Risking all, all is won. What we need everywhere is men who will follow in Elijah's steps in order that the fire of God may come upon us. There remained no longer any doubt, God is God, Bead is a sham.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Entered as second-class matter April 5, 1912 at the Post Office at Saint Louis, Missouri. under the act of March 3, 1879. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION TEXAS THIS TIME deal has come to us from a committee repro- fected people of Texas City, Texas. After reveastating storm which swept across the trag their sad loss of homes and goods, the co- lege Negro population was "forced to work on under United States soldiers and at the point soners. They were forced to work—the Negro and without pay. Families were separa- nefully, the sick denied medical attention, its taken away—all because of color.

A. A. C. P. affords a splendid foundation just this purpose. It needs only the support of the machinery, the personnel and the influ- people. But it cannot be said to represen- ds know nothing of it and millions are not eat what we have said before: Every Negro America, young and old, should become at of this organization. If this were done, or were connected with this association, here which would make the oppressor tremble, and itself yield and guarantee us our full right. An appeal has come to us from a committee representing five hundred colored people of Texas City, Texas. After mentioning the recent devastating storm which swept across the Gulf States, and detailing their sad loss of homes and goods, the committee advises that the Negro population was "forced to work on the streets five days under United States soldiers and at the point of guns"—virtually prisoners. They were forced to work—the Negroes alone, no whites—and without pay. Families were separated, women treated shamefully, the sick denied medical attention, and constitutional rights taken away—all because of color. That's Texas—the semi-barbarous State which long since made itself a place in the same catagory with shameless, benighted Georgia. The appeal is primarily to the American Negro press and church for aid—"money and drygoods." But it includes the statement that these oppressed and wronged American citizens are about to organize a protective association and are going to the courts for justice. That is the part that we like and wish to emphasize. That has been the burden of our cry through this column for the past year. If only the Negroes would get together for mutual protection—in local organizations affiliated with a great national organization—they could strike an irresistible blow against all forms of oppression and injustice. The N. A. A. C. P. affords a splendid foundation. It is designed for just this purpose. It needs only the support of the people. It has the machinery, the personnel and the influence, but it has not the people. But it cannot be said to represent the race when thousands know nothing of it and millions are not connected with it. We repeat what we have said before: Every Negro man and woman in America, young and old, should become at once an active member of this organization. If this were done, or even a majority of us were connected with this association, here would be a weapon which would make the oppressor tremble, and even the government itself yield and guarantee us our full rights. KEEP UP THE PROTEST earth of a Nation," the infamous photo-play states our race, is here. How long it will not, at the present writing, say. We doubleden city can muster a strong enough so glad to commend the efforts of Mayor Kidorney. Sidener on our behalf. We are sure officials did what he could in the premise "The Birth of a Nation," the infamous photo-play which libels and humiliates our race, is here. How long it will continue to show we cannot, at the present writing, say. We doubt that this prejudice-ridden city can muster a strong enough sentiment to stop it. We are glad to commend the efforts of Mayor Kiel and Prosecuting Attorney Sidener on our behalf. We are satisfied that each of these officials did what he could in the premises. A large delegation of representative Negroes waited upon them last Saturday and presented to each in turn a vigorous protest, clearly setting forth the evils of this insidious film and pointing out the dangers of its showing. The Mayor convinced us of his inability, under existing statutes, to do anything, but pledged his influence, which he immediately exercised. Mr. Sidener promised to forbid the presentation under the threat of prosecution, and he immediately made good his promise. Meantime, the film representatives secured a temporary injunction, and the production had its opening Sunday evening as scheduled. The Chief of Police sent a committee to witness the performance, both to be on guard against any possible disturbance and to report to him upon the character of the objectionable scenes. The case was to have been heard before Judge Kimmel Monday afternoon, but a continuance was asked until Wednesday. Wednesday saw another continuance. There the matter stands, as we write. We are satisfied with our efforts so far. We feel that the officials above mentioned have done their best up to the present. We feel that our protest was justified and dignified. But by no means ought we to consider ourselves through. Should the court decide against us and the injunction be made permanent, then what, we have done should be considered only the beginning. Our protests should be continuous, firm and dignified. Our aim must be to create a sentiment so strong that the white people can see the justice of our position. And further, should our protests and our agitation end in no immediate result and no apparent good, we must be broad enough and far-sighted enough to work for the uplift and advancement of the entire race—and not only for this day and generation, but for our posterity.

No city has shown more courtesy to a gathering than did the good people of Peoria to the representatives in attendance. The Mayor, the Chief of Police, and the City MRS. HATTIE S. BALDWIN State Grand Queen of California Council were the chief contributors. Only words of praise could be heard from the delegates, for those with whom they stopped, each one saying they had the best place. The banquet, which was managed by Mr. I. W.

Martyn, pastor of the First Baptist Church, was surprised by his members Tuesday night with a beautiful house warming party. About one hundred people met quietly outside his home, at 4351 West Belle, and listened a while as Pastor Martyn sat unsuspectingly at his piano amusing himself. Then they started singing "Home, Sweet Home" and rang the bell. When Mrs. Martyn opened the door, the crowd took the house by storm, lighting up all the rooms and taking full possession. The dining room was filled with elegant gifts, including beautiful china, ornaments, embroideries, table and bed linen, and a variety of edibles. The kitchen was also appropriated and the pastor's dishes, and a most dainty refreshment served. The younger set romped through the spacious residence, and had a big time. The pastor played several selections upon his handsome carved wood piano, and all went away feeling satisfied that their pastor's beautiful residence is worthy of the position and prestige of old "Mother Church."

WAYRING To the Public: 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 pianos 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.

IN MEMORIAM Mrs. Hattie Willis, a well-known citizen of St. Louis, departed this life, August 21, 1915, at Kinchob, Mo., after a brief illness of a few hours, having passed three score years at the age of 60, when she seemed to be enjoying a well spent life. Looking back over the past and reviewing the motherhood of eleven children, that terror of all terrors claimed her in the heyday of her victory to see the hours of a mother's triumph, as six of her children had reached their maturity, leaving these to mourn their loss: Mesdames Ella Tomilson, Lucinda Roberson, Pinkie C. Lewis, Messrs, J. D. Willis, Jesse T. Willis and Edw. Willis. Having pleased the Heavenly Father to call her from them in their bereavement, they extend heartfelt thanks to their many friends for the letters of sympathy and tokens of respect tendered.

TURPIN Proprietor of Booker Washington Theater THEATRES AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THIS WEEK Edgar Connor and Cecil Mann, Joe and Mandy Russell, Arthur Allen and a White Act Up to the High-Grade Mark. The high standard of good shows still continues at the Booker Washington Theater this week, despite the failure of Abhie Mitchell to show up Mr. Turpin was compelled to book a white act, Billie Louise, to fill the engagement, the first hall of the week and a white comedy team, Towers and Howard for the latter half Misa Louise made good with four song numbers and a very acceptable buck and wing dance Joe and Mandy Russell get the audience from the start with a lively song and dance that is characterized by Mr Russell's eccentric dancing. They have a humorous line of new rip-roaring jokes. Russell's imitations of a monkey take the house by storm. Both performers are good original dancers and are making a decided hit this week. Arthur Allen, and his violin are the prime knockout drops. After a little nonsense, Allen gets going good with a telephone song, and is at high speed when he introduces "This 'Violin.' He follows with "Miserere," accompanied by burlesque variations and closes with a version of the "Memphis Blues." He is forced to take several bows and an encore at each performance. Edgar Connor (the original Sambo) and dainty little Cecil Mann close the bill with their characteristic style of dancing and singing. These delightful little performers are meriting vociferous applause, "Sambo" scores nicely singing, "When the Darkies Serenade," with which he does an artistic dance. Miss Mann puts over "Cruel Papa" to satisfies DIRECT FROM 9 WEEKS RUN IN CHICAGO, CINC CINNATI & INDIANAPOLIS EVERY EVENING AT 7 8:30 Be Suspended During AT THE Washington BEGINNING MONDAY tion, and they close with "Dinah," a conversation song and dance Miss Cecil Mann was married last Saturday, in Crown Point, Ill., to Clyde B.

Mrs. Elmore Wilson-Morton will accompany the team. Joe and Mandy Russell will be seen as leading characters in a new five-reel picture, "A Stranger in New York," just launched Miss Susie Sutton is resting at home, in Washington, D.C., after a tour of the West Jack Johnson is the central figure in a big white musical comedy company playing in Loudon, Eng. Tim Moore is having trouble in the East on account of jumping contracts. Andrew Trebble is also in the same boat. Salem Tutt Whitney and the Smart Set Company started rehearsals, last week, for their new show, "George Washington Bullion Abroad." Musical comedy companies are making a raid on the vaudeville stages and we may see several good productions at the Booker Washington this season. MOVIE THEATER BEING EXTENSIVELY REMODELED The Movie Theater, on Market Street, near Jefferson, is being extensively remodeled. Aside from a new and artistic front, the roof is being raised several feet to permit a ventilation arrangement, that will make the place as sanitary as any in the city. The screen will be raised so that those in the rear seats will be able to see with as much comfort as occupants of the front seats. Manager Tommie James says he is arranging to give his patrons the best series of pictures offered in the city for 5 cents. The "Exploits of Elaine" will be resumed and "The Goddess," a Vittagraph Picture, will be featured in the re-opening. The repairs will take about two weeks' time. It was originally planned to begin in July, but the management delayed on account of the serial pictures which were running. Watch the Argus for the re-opening date.
