Several Prominent Persons Injured When Police Charge 2,000 Persons in Parade Protesting Against Infamous Picture. Riot Caused by Lad Throwing Stone Through Theater Window. Special to the Argus.—Philadelphia, Pa., September 24.—Several persons, including prominent ministers were injured here Monday in a riot resulting from a dignified parade of nearly 2,000 Colored people and white sympathizers in protest against the "Birth of a Nation," showing here. Some one among the paraders threw a stone through the plate glass window above the entrance to the theater and 25 police reserves, who had been guarding the place, charged the crowd. The paraders retreated but not in time to save a score or more who had to be treated at the hospital for injuries. Several were arrested but none held except a 19 year old lad who is alleged to have thrown the brick. He was placed under $500 bail. The police were under orders not to make any arrests, nor attacks, so long as the demonstrators created no disorder. BIRTH OF A NATION RULED OUT OF OHIO Special to the Argus: Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 29.—"The Birth of a Nation," said to be the biggest and most costly motion picture production ever presented, which was booked to show at the Opera House for fifteen consecutive weeks next spring and summer at two-dollar prizes, won't be displayed. The state board of censors at Columbus rejected the film Tuesday and will not permit it to be exhibited in Ohio. The state censors assigned two reasons for rejection—it might arouse prejudice against the colored race and it might arouse prejudice between North and South. The film has been a storm center in cities where it has been shown. It Boston and Philadelphia it is said to have been the cause of numerous race riots. The state board received numerous letters from colored people protesting against the showing of the film. Wheatley Branch Needs $1500 Wheatley Branch Needs $1500 To Complete Y. W. C. A. Bldg. The work on the building on the corner of Lucas and Garrison has progressed well and the friends and workers are expressing themselves as being quite pleased with the general appearance of things. Everyone feels that this beautiful corner will be a credit to the entire city when it is completed and equipped. Many words of commendation are being said from people of both races in many sections of the country regarding the splendid work of the Wheatley Branch of St. Louis. Fifteen hundred dollars is needed to finish the necessary work on the gymnasium and cafeteria. This money is needed at once and special appeal is being made to the citizens, especially those who have not paid their subscription, made to the association last fall, to pay them immediately that this work can be completed. There is absolutely no doubt in the minds of the people as to the worthiness of this institution. It has proved itself in this community and deserves the hearty support of the people. A. C. E.

On Monday night, September 27, 1915, Medinah Temple No. 39 of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine gave a banquet at the Silver Grill, 2321 Market St., in honor of Noble George W. McKoin, who has been a member of Medinah Temple for a number of years and who now stands at the head of Shrinedom in North and South America. The Imperial Council, at its last session in New York City, August 7, 1915, elected Noble McKoin as the Imperial Potentate for the year of 1915-16. Noble McKoin is a 33 degree Mason, having joined the order over forty years ago, and has filled every station in the Imperial Council up to the present. The nobles of Medinah Temple No. 39 gave care to the winds on Monday night, and with their friends paid the highest tribute to this noble who has given years to the advancement of Masonry among his race. The banquet was promoted by Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, I. H. Bradbury, Chief Rabban, of Medinah Temple, Monroe Earnest, and a local committee of Medinah Temple. The following program was rendered: Program Introduction, master of ceremonies, Noble I. H. Bradbury. Prayer, by High Priest and Prophet, Noble R. W. Marshall. Noble R. W. Marshall.

Alex Slater, efficient custodian and caretaker in department of state, has been orded by the election as honorary member of the Negro National Congress, an organ devoted to the "uplift of the Negro." Much is being said howadays about men and measures, and sometimes we fail to recognize, appreciate, give credit, honor and praise to men and individuals, who, through sacrifice and toil, singleness of aim and continuity of purpose achieve great victories, and make grand accomplishments, for the church, state, for individuals and nations until they are dead and then, with a bundle of flowers and a long groan we follow them to the graveyard. There, with a long face, ejaculate and say, "There goes a good man." But, my dear friends, he does not need the praise then, for up there in heaven is nothing but joy, happiness, and praises. Down here, when the world is trying men's souls, and in an hour when a man is trying to lift up fallen humanity, shape lives, mould civic and religious sentiment, form characters, and plant some principles, that will goad us on to higher heights, and prepare the people for service that must stand in time and in eternity, then there is when you should encourage, sustain by words of kindness and acts of sympathy. The person that's fighting the battles of life, as a close observer, I find that Dr. Gilbert is keen-eyed, quick-witted, sagacious, yet cautious, on the alert at all times for the advancement of the church and race. He is a very unpretentious, and yet, when the alarm is given and a crisis arises that tests a man's financial ability or moral support, and the cry comes that immediate action is necessary, whether it be for the church or a brother, Gilbert rings true, and sometimes this man of God goes to the rescue of his enemies, unknowingly, but he shall have his reward. They use his money with one hand and stab him with the other. For thirty years he has stood like the Alp Mountains, by the grand old A. M. E. Church, buying land, paying off heavy mortgages, baptizing, and receiving members into the church, marrying off and burying the dead, until today his name is given as a watchword in this great Missouri conference. Rev. Gilbert has been elected to three general conferences, and is a close observer of things, men and measures, that will enhance the interest of the church and race. When this gentleman took charge of St. James A. M. E. Church, $6,440.00 hung over the property. Some doubted his ability to cope with the situation while others criticized. But Gilbert said, "I'll try." No responsibility too large and no undertaking so stupendous as to rise paramount to his faith in God, and the confidence in himself, and as a man he cherishes that motto: "Find a way or make a way." He is not a sayer, but a doer, jovial, yet frank and firm. You can depend on the brother at the church just mentioned. He organized his forces and the building began to rise, and in these seven years the main debt has been cancelled, aside from the current expenses and other outstanding liabilities have been taken off. Many have joined the church; and the longer he stays the higher he grows in popularity, with the church and community, and the parishioners he comes in contact with. He is a mixer, an ex-presiding elder, a thirty-third degree Mason, the president of Ministers' Alliance of this great metropolis, and enjoys the esteem of the 'entire association. Life is a crowning triumph, or a disastrous defeat, real life reaches higher than the conventional professions. Man calls or creeds and the subject seemed to have a clear idea that he was sent on the stage of action to perform his part in life. The high ideas that filled and thrilled his soul is realized and brought from the abstract into concrete, to do some one thing as good or better than the other fellow, was paramount in his early life thus far a good pastor, good preacher, wise counsellor, and a safe leader. These and many more noble characteristics are embodied in Dr. Gilbert. He would be an ideal general officer, for he has an eye for business. You hardly ever see a man moral loyal to the church, the administration and the race than the subject of this article, and for this reason and man we do truly hope he will have the suffrage of the brethren and be elected delegate to the next general conference, which meets at Philadelphia in May, 1916. I must say, however, before I close this letter that the Dr. Gilbert is assisted by the queenly wife, Mrs. A. A. Gilbert that really and truly knows how to do things as what time, at what place, and what way to be conducive to the most good. She has not only onis Argus Slater Honored Elected Honorary Member of Negro National Educational Congress. Sedaliz, Mo., Special to St. Louis Argus.—Col. Alex Slater, efficient colored custodian and caretaker in the department of state, has been honored by the election as honorary life member of the Negro National Educational Congress, an organization devoted to the "uplift of the Negro."

GRAY Dear of Maude Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT-I . . . prayed.—Nehemiah 14. Nehemiah was a great man, a great statesman, a great administrator, a great leader of men. But he was great in the spiritual realm as well, he had great power with God. JOHN H. BURKE Although a Jew, yet he dwelt in Persia and occupied a position of peculiar influence at court; he was the king's cup bearer. It was some time after the return of his countrymen from that land of their cap tivity to their beloved Palestine, but they were not prospering very well since their return. Some of them on a visit to Persia had been telling him about it. They were in great affliction they said, and in great reproach from their enemies round about. The walls of Jerusalem had never been repaired since they had been burned down by Nebuchadnezzar 150 years before, and the result was they had no protection against assault. Man Deeply Affected. This deeply affected Nebemiah, so that he sat down and actually wept. When patriotism moves us to weep for our country it looks like the real thing, especially when it is followed by something else as it was here. The weeping was accompanied by fasting also, so different from the modern way of showing patriotism, which not infrequently takes the form of a banquet with speeches. This fasting lasted for days, he must have been alone in it; but at length it came to a head in prayer. Oh, if our statesmen, and politicians and reformers only knew the secret! How much more they could accomplish at the Throne of Grace than by legislation, and conferences, and harangues, and newspaper articles. A Wonderful Prayer. It was a wonderful prayer this. First, it was so unsellish. He was not praying for himself but for people, who, for the most part, he did not know, and had never seen. They were his countrymen, that was all, and they were in sore need. How much do we ever pray for our southern negroes, or the mountain whites, or the dejected Indians on our western plains, or our dependents in the Philippines? What real interest have we in either their material or spiritual condition? Second, it was such a humble prayer. Somehow or other he felt a sense of personal responsibility for the condition of his countrymen afar off though they were. He confessed to sin in the premises, and included his "father's house" in his confession. If he and his ancestors had acted differently things would not have been as they were. What do we know of that? Third, the prayer was helpful nevertheless. Hopeful, because he had a strong promise of God to rest upon. "Remember thy word," he said, and then he quoted that word. Can you do that? You must know the promises to be able to do it, and you know the promiser also. How much do you search God's word to discover its treasures for yourself or others, and how much do you exercise yourself to bring them down from heaven for life on earth? Nehemiah just agreed with God about this matter. Ah! that is power. Read the chapter for yourself and see how he did it. Fourth, the prayer was very denite. He didn't go round Robin Hood's barn as the saying is. He didn't mouth out a lot of fine phrases or plious notions. He told God just what he wanted and when he wanted it, if it would please him to give it. He was going to stand before the king on a certain day in his capacity as cup-bearer, and that would be a good time to ask a favor of the king. He was going to ask him that he might be commissioned as governor of Jerusalem to go up there and build the walls and deliver his people out of their affliction. The king must be disposed to grant the request, and he asked God to dispose him. Why do not the rest of us cultivate that simplicity and directness? How interesting it would make both our private and public devotions, and how it would enhance God's glory as we thus came to look for answers to what we asked. Fifth, the prayer was successful, of course. "It pleased the king to send me," says he, "and I set him a time." The God of Nehemiah still lives and nothing is too hard for him. The promise in Philippians reads: "Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God." Our national Thanksgiving day will soon be here again, and if sincerely we count our national blessings during the last year, it will be the best preparation for that earliest prayer we so much need. Afflictions are upon us in certain quarters and perils are ahead and greatly do we as a nation need God INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course, the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) ELIJAH IN NABOTHS VINEYARD LESSON TEXT-N Kings 21:11-28. GOLDEN TEXT-Be sure your sin wilt and you out.-Num. 22:2 'Ahab disobeyed God and failed to follow up his victory over Ben-Hadad (ch. 20:31-34). Thereupon one of the prophets resorted to a plan whereby Ahab was rebuked and also received a message that sent him "to his house heavy and displeased" (v. 43). All of this needs to be borne in mind when we study Ahab's course of action re- lated in this lesson. Learn by heart the tenth commandment; also Luke 12:15. 1. The Schemes of Men, vv. 11-16. Ahab had been king for twenty years (B. C. 9067). Jezreel was his summer capital, about twenty miles northwest of Samaria. The chief actors in this tragedy were Naboth, a well-to-do citizen; Ahab, a petulant monarch to whom Naboth refuses to sell his vineyard; Jezebel, the Lady Macbeth of Ahab's court; elders and nobles of Jezreel, willing tools in the transaction; false witnesses, executioner, and Elijah, the servant of God, who confronted the monarch in his newly gained possession. Ahab was constantly in conflict with the purposes of God and with his Word. Naboth had no right to sell his vineyard (see Numbers 36:7; Lev. 25:28; also Ezek. 46:16) and sturdily stood out for his God-given rights. At the same time wise and beneficial. Instead of yielding to God's law - Ahab sulks like a petted child (v. 4) and thus again runs counter to God's Word (see tenth commandment). At this juncture Jezebel, his wife, appeals to his pride and power as the king (v. 7), and offers to procure the coveted possession. The methods of mankind whereby vast possessions are accumulated do not always bear investigation; murder and rapine, broken hearts and shortened lives, weakened bodies and stunted children can largely be traced to the sin or covetousness, against which we all need to be on guard (Luke 12:18; Eph. 5:5). The first sinner was coyous (Gen. 3:6), so also were the chosen people of God (Josh. 7:21), and it was this that caused the first dissension among Christian believers (Acts 5:13). Jezebel most graciously gave Ahab that which belonged to others; how free we all can be with the property of others! She also cloaked her designs with the mantle of religion (8-13). II. The Sentence of God, vv. 17-20. The dead Naboth was happier than his neighbors of Jereel, the king and queen or any of the other evil participants. Ahab began by breaking the first commandment (I Kings 16:31; Deut. 5:7) and thus laid the groundwork of the whole train of evil for which he and his household and his reign are famous. The elders readily obeyed the word of Jezebel and Ahab profited thereby, but now he was to hear the Word of God and it was not to be so welcome. Recently we saw Elijah set aside, following his flight from Jezebel, but he is not entirely beyond use, and God now gave him a new commission, one more task in connection with his old opponent. There is nothing indicating cowardice in Elijah's bold challenge of Ahab and there is also a suggestion of a guilty conscience in Ahab's exclamation. "Hast thou found me, O mine enemy" (v 20)? Ahab had "gone down to the vineyard of Naboth" (v. 16) to enjoy the pleasure of possessing his ill-gotten treasure only to hear again his word of doom (ch. 20:42; 21-19). It was a poem exchange Ahab made (Mark 8:37); a throne and his life in exchange for the carrying out of his will and the possession of a vineyard. In that exact spot where Naboth had been fully stoned the dogs would lick up the blood of the king. As is usually the case, the guilty sinner called the righteous servant of God his "enemy," yet had Ahab obeyed the Word of Jehovah as so frequently spoken by Elijah he would have discovered him to be his true and best friend, not his enemy. Ahab's sin had found him out (Golden Text, Num. 32:23). III. The Summary. Covetousness is not the mere desire for things we do not possess, but a deep longing which is willing to do wrong, to injure others, to profit by the evil deeds of others in order to come into possession. Covetousness seeks to gain at the expense of higher and better things; it is the extreme opposite of the spirit of him who "gave all." The greatest danger of our land and the chief source of sin is covetousness. the other source of sin in the world. The source and foundation of covetousness is selfishness.

The absurdity of the argument appears on its face and we point out the fallacy. The Catholics have separate churches and schools, why not segregate them in separate residential districts? The Jews have separate churches, why not segregate them? The rich have sep- arate private schools and exclusive temples, why not segregate them in separate residential districts? And note this: the separate schools and churches of the Catholic, the Jew and the rich are of their own choice: and their gregarious tendency is natural and voluntary. Then’by what right COMPEL the Negro to have separate schools and residential districts? ; " The alien—Greek, Bohemian, Italian, Russian, furk, and others—mostly the scum of the earth — is welcome: in white schools and restaurants: and he not evena citizen. The Ne- gro—a loyal American citizen. defender of the flag, peaceable, tractable, struggling against tremendous odds for his own uplift and advancement, and struggling successfully---is unwelcome everywhere, and by law excluded. Will not the future historian, when he looks back to picture our day and land, count this as one of the most strange of pelitical monstrosities? LET US MEET THE ISSUE. The time has come when we must give heed to ¢he unjust and discriminatory enactments which are proposed against us. Even if it were not the real purpose, the result of such legislation is the humiliation, and will be the final destruction of Negro ‘man- hood and womanhood. Here in St. Louis the crisis is at hand. We say again, “we face not a theéry, but a condition.” And we had just as well pre- pare to meet the issue intelligently, earnestly, courageously and unitedly; or-else surrender our rights and lay down the fruits of our half century of toil without any further complaint. How much longer are we to grovel in the dirt, like worms to be trodden under foot? How much longer are we to tolerate an op- pression which for injustice and illegality has nota parallel in his- tory? Let the answering cry come from, at least, the St. Louis Negro. Let it come through church and lodge, civic and business league. Let it be the cry of men and women—not slaves—for equal justice! Let it be a mighty and concerted demand that will not silence, until justice itself shall have granted that demand! Upon our race, guaranteed equal rights, under the Constitu- tion, insult has been heaped on insult and outrage added to outrage till it would seem that malice and prejudice had done their worst. The dearest rights of freedom are being, one by one, torn from us. Confident of our-rights, we speak out. As individuals; our voices will not be heard or heeded. But organized and federated, we could hold the balance of power. Therefore. we are calling upon every Negro man and woman in St. Louis to get into some organization, and we are calling upon every organization to get into a federation, that we might hurl s mighty protest against injustice and carry our war right into the enemy's camp.’ THE REPUBLICAN ROUND-UP.. tical meeting at the Planters’ Hotel by the Republican dailies ane herald victory.

But we can see litte significance in’ this Reand-up, so far as our people are concerned. The State chairman, local politicians, committeemen and hangers-on got together and cut and dried their plans, but we doubt whether any representative of our thousands was present, or any plans for our welfare were discussed. a There is a good lesson for the Negro in this meeting, for it shows our apathy and indifference in sitting idly by while others use us to further their ends, and waiting passively for them tc bring-us political favors on a silver platter. | No doubt some trick- ster agreed for a certain Consideration to “deliver” so many Negroes, Why cannot we get together in political conclave, discuss and plan our own welfare, and for certain considerations whict are only right and just, agree to deliver ourselves? Until the American Negro learns to exercise his prerogative and assert his rights, he will continue to be a political vassal and never wielc any political power. e SS ———— “THE FALLACY PROVEN.

CUT YOUR HAIR BILLS IN HALF You can cut your hair bills in half by buying your hair goods from me. People often ask how it is possible for me to give such good values for so little money. The reason is simple: I am a direct maker to agent and dealer, which plan leaves out all middlemen and their profits. My large production cuts down the cost of manufacturing and selling direct to agents and dealers cut down selling costs. I have no salesmen to whom I must pay a salary and expenses. Each article is made of the finest quality of hair and the workmanship is the very best. Become my agent and cut the cost of your merchandise and make the profit yourself. Ira H.

ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. THEATRES RUSSELL-OWENS COMPANY A BIG MUSICAL COMEDY TRIUMPH "Jessamine" at Booker. Washington Theater this Week. Full of Art. Every Member Displays Real Talent. Play Well Constructed. No Exaggerated Nonsense. Company Will Remain Over Next Week and Present "The Dope Fiend's Dream." Only one thing prevents the Russell-Owens Company from equaling the best musical comedy that has ever played in any theater, in this city-its size. Otherwise, the display of talent ranks with the old Williams and Walker and the Dudley shows. This is a strong assertion, but well founded. Theater goers who visit the Booker Washington Theater this week are being treated to a delightful combination of jingling music, sprightly dances, clean comedy and pretty faces. There is no exaggerated nonsense, no vulgar actions, no suggestive remarks, but just a clean cut musical comedy displayed with an art that is pleasing to all classes of patrons. The play "Jessamine" is a well constructed vehicle. Goes through with a dash and holds the interest, without a dull moment, to the end. Every number presented is featured and is roundly applauded. Baby Mack, as "Jessamine" is graceful and pretty. Her two lovers "Ham" (Billy Owens) and Bogatto (Tommie Parker) keep up a continuous merriment as they contest for her hand, being spurred to jealousy by Miss Annie Freeman, who in male attire. masks as a third suitor. Among the most conspicuous musical numbers are "Charlie Chaplin," with character imitations by Bob Russell, Tommie Parker, George Freeman. Baby Mack, Annie Freeman and Jonnell Perry. "That's Why I'm Loving Someone Else Today" is beautifully sung by Miss Nina Mitchell. "Ethiopia," Mr. Russell's own composition, is full of melodious richness and is well rendered by Russell, Lee Sangster, Silk Bates and Misses Freeman, Mitchell and Perry. "Love Me For a While," by Misses Mack and Perry, and Russell, Bates and Langster, is another beauty. "Her Name is Jessamine," sung and danced by Misses Freeman and Mack, is a decided hit. George Freeman sings a parody on this, entitled, "I'm a Natural Born Fool About My Skedam Gin." "Under the Yum Yum Tree," a female quartette, is presented by Misses Mack, 1st tenor; Mitchell, 2nd tenor; Perry, 1st bass; Freeman, 2nd bass. The show closes with "Georgia Swing," a song and dance by the entire company. Incidental to the action of the piece, the Langster Brothers, Lee and Ed, get in some good singing, comedy, imitations, and saxophone playing. There is not a weak spot, in the entire production and St. Louisans are well appreciating the treat. --- The company will remain over for carnival week and present "The Dope Fiend's Dream," or "The Queen of Hop Alley."

BASEBALL GIANTS WILL HAVE HARD GAME AGAINST WABADAS SUNDAY Will Have to Face a Team Made up of Players From the Browns and Cardinals at C. B. Campus Charlie Mills' St. Louis Giants will face the Wabada All Stars at Christian Brothers' Campus, Kingshighway and Easton, at 3:15 Sunday, October 3. The Wabadas are composed principally of young players from the Browns and Cardinals, having strengthened their line up in an effort to beat our boys. This game will be the first ever played by Negroes at the west end park and would not have been arranged if the strength of Mills' famous team was not worrying the strong white clubs who seem determined to take its measure. Although the game with the Giants will begin at 3:15, the Wabadas will play a preliminary game with another club and those who wish to get into the park should go early. Admission both games, 25 cents. Children, 15 cents. Grandstand, 10 cents extra. The Giants beat the strong Alphen Braus, last Sunday 3 to 0. "String Beans" Williams was at his best, allowing only one real hit and two scratches. "Beans" also won his own game with a home run. More than 3,000 fans saw the big contest. SUMNER HIGH NOTES By J.

The baseball club succeeded last season in establishing a precedent and an enviable record for amateur ball toasera. It is the first time that the high school team has been able to hold its own through the summer. During the past season the club rolled up 14 victories and 4 defeats. Three of these defeats were by a margin of one run, while the other was lost by a 2-0 score. The baseball season is having to give way to the more stern and the only really great college and high school game, football. Hence, Sumner, being very much alive to her dutty, and aware of the expectations of her patrons, has begun her season. One of the greatest teams in the history of the institution is under the careful and noted supervision of Ouchie Giles. At the start call for hours of the auditorium about 10:30 were on the field, prancing to the music of football. The Home of Good Liquor THE OLD KENTUCKY Wine and Liquor Co.
