NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE ARRANGING SEVERAL MEETINGS. MISS MAE CHILDS NERNEY TO APPEAR SOON. The local branch of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People is very active these days in its fight against the proposed segregation ordinance. Scarcely a day passes without a meeting of some of the Association's important committees for the planning of the campaign. Thousands of names and addresses have been secured and tabulated and letters and circulars are being sent out each day. Funds are being solicited and the city is being districted for meetings. More than fifty dollars has been spent for postage alone in the last few days, and effort is being made to reach every colored person in the city. After this has been done, the campaign will begin actively among white men. The Publicity Committee and the Campaign Committee both held meetings this week. Circulars and pamphlets, as well letters and articles for the papers, are being prepared. The latest circular, sent out by the Publicity Committee, is a complete statement of the question. Every citizen should read it. Others will follow in a short while. At the meeting of the Campaign Committee an executive committee composed of white and colored men was selected to take full charge of the campaign. There is much to be done. Unfortunately many colored people do not seem to be interested in the matter, and much time must be spent in arousing them to a sense of the danger which confronts them. A committee is busy arranging meetings in every locality where Negros reside, and the call will be issued in the next few days. It is hoped these meetings will be largely attended as good speakers will be sent to each one in order to inform the people on the issue. MISS NERNEY COMING Miss Mae Childs Nerney, secretary of the 'National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who is located at the main office in New York, is coming to St. Louis in November to assist in the fight. A big mass meeting has been arranged for her at the Central Baptist Church, Ewing and Washington Aves., Monday, November 8. She will also address several white meetings. Miss Nerney is a white woman, a graduate of Cornell University, and has distinguished herself in the work of the Association. DR. RANSOM TO SPEAK The eloquent and brilliant divine, Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Review, will speak on the segregation question at Central Baptist Church Monday night, October 18. Notes of the meeting will be read in the churches Sunday and the people from all over the city are coming to hear Dr. Ransom. He is rated as one of the most eloquent orators in America, and the Association is fortunate in securing him. Miss.Kathryn M. Johnson, national field agent of the Association, is still here and busy at work. The Campaign Committee unanimously adopted a motion to request the New York office to let her remain here. She has addressed many meetings, and is now visiting the lodges and women's clubs and talking to them. MILITARY HONORS Major J. R. Smith, 2931 Lucas Ave, who died last Sunday from a lingering disease, will be given a military funeral by the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. The funeral will be held at the St. Paul Chapel at four p. m. Sunday, after which the body will be shipped to Lawrence, Kansas for interment. ATTENTION! Spanish War Veterans you are requested to attend an army mess given by Corporal Wm. L. White, Camp No. 10, U. S. W. V., on Tuesday, Nov. 9, 1915, 8 p. m., at A. U. K. and D. of A. Hall, 2804 Pine St. Congressman and Comrade L. C. Dyer, our National Commander-in-Chief, United Spanish War Veterans will be present with his staff and will address us. All Spanish War Veterans, soldiers who served in the Philippine Islands, ex-soldiers and sailors of any period are requested to join us on this night in a rosing reunion. Refreshments and lunch free to all will be served abundantly, come out and have an evening with your former comrades-in-arms. Receives Argus Reporter and Discusses Every Detail of Their Work. Mr. A. V. Burr, superintendent of the local office of Pullman Co, who succeeded Mr. Cook, received the Argus reporter in his office a few days ago for a short interview. The reporter was brief in stating that he understood that Mr. Burr had recently taken charge of the local office, and because there were such a large number of Colored men employed directly under him, in the service, that a word from him would be very significant. Mr. Burr stated that the Pullman Co. was more interested in the Colored men today than ever before. Because the porters themselves are coming to a full realization that they are public servants, and in handling the public it requires education and skill. He said that the St. Louis men were as a whole a fine set of earnest workers, and that he, as superintendent, expected to do as he had done in the past, lend the men every possible encouragement. Of course, said Mr. Burr, "the Saviour in making his selection, chose one bad one in twelve. But I don't believe our percentage of bad ones is that large." However, when we find a bad one that cannot be taught, we soon get rid of him, that he may not spoil the rest. "I very rarely discharge a man, I always rather allow him to resign, give him a chance to make good." He stated that he was heartily in favor of the Porters' Benefit Association and thought it the duty of every porter to join. Mr. Burr came here from Houston, Texas, and has been in the service over twenty-five years. MISS ANNETTA HARRIS AND WM. OFFICER MARRIED SINCE OCTOBER, 1913 Carondelet News—By Miss I. Harris The Colored Men's Improvement League held its first annual sermon at Imm's Chapel, Sunday, at 3 o'clock. The meeting was largely attended. An interesting program was rendered. Rev. Hunt, who delivered the sermon, was at his best. Prof. M. J. Gilliam was present and gave an interesting talk on his old subject, "Night School." Mr. and Mrs. J. Boone were the guess at supper of Mr. and Mrs. S. Mitchell, of Baden. A pleasant evening was spent. Dan Cupid stole two hearts last Saturday evening between 8 and 9 p.m. The interested parties were Mr. Hugh White and Miss Marie Crosby; Mr. Chas. McCanley and Miss Myrtle White. The ceremonies were performed by Rev. S. Terry. The staff of the Carondelet Library, where Hugh has worked for several years was present and left as their token a silver soup ladle for Mr. and Mrs. H. White. Many useful presents were received by both brides. May success flood their pathway. Last Friday night Miss A. L. Harris surprised her parents by presenting to them her marriage certificate to Mr. Wm. E. Officer, which was dated October 14, 1913. At first her parents were greatly astonished but after a consideration blessings were bestowed upon them. They will be at home to their friends after December 1 at 4051 West Belle. Mrs. E. Shores entertained the "South End Auxiliary Club" last Friday night. After regular business a delightful repast was served. Plans were formed for a bazaar, watch for date. CHAS. STEWART TO SPEAK IN EAST ST. LOUIS Chas.

OCTOBER 15, 1915. BAPTISTS AND METHODISTS IN CONVENTIONS STATE CONVENTION OF NEGROES MEETS IN SEDALIA OCT. 18-19. Missouri Baptist Holding Sessions at Tabernacle Church. Women's Auxiliary at Central Church. With the close of Sunday night the 26th annual session of the Missouri Baptist State Convention will pass into history as one of the greatest sessions ever held in its history, and Dr. J. T. Caston, of St. Louis, will direct the affairs for another year. The formal meeting was held Tuesday night with a reception, by Rev. S. A. Mosely, D. D., and the members of Tabernacle Baptist Church, where the meeting was held. Rev. Dr. John Goins, presided and music was furnished by the choir. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Rev. William J. Williamson, pastor of the Third Baptist Church, who represented the white Baptists. Rev. G. W. Benton, of Shiloh Baptist Church, made an address. The women were represented by Mrs. Clothilde E. Alexander, and the church by Virgil H. Franklin. A meeting of the Joint Board Tuesday evening, was incident to the opening of the convention. At 9 o'clock Wednesday morning the convention was called to order, and committees were announced after the devotional exercises. In the absence of Rev. J. B. Beckhilde, Rev. C. R. McDowell, preached the opening sermon. In the afternoon Rev. P. C. Campbell preached. One of the features of the meeting was a sermon by Rev. Dr. Truex, Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. The Western College, Macon, Mo., received special attention during the session, for be it remembered that it is the heart of the Missouri Baptists, and they declare it shall rank with the great institutions of the country. Dr. J. H. Garnett, president of the college, delivered an able address on "Christian Education." He told about the work being done at the college, and urged the Baptists to rally to its support. Greetings were exchanged between the convention and the Methodist Conference. The convention was represented by Revs. B. P. O. Gayles, Wm. Gray and E. M. Cohron, D. D. In response the Conference sent Revs. W. Sampson Brooks, J. R. Ransom and J. C. Caldwell. One of the largest and perhaps most interesting convention of women ever held in St. Louis was the Baptist Woman's Home, Foreign Missionary and Educational convention, in Central Baptist Church. This convention was presided over by one of the leading educators of the state, Mrs. M. E. Goins, of Jefferson City, a graduate from the Western College, and for many years foremost in the educational work in the state. The convention convened at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the auditorium of Central Baptist Church. "What Consecration Means," was the devotional service topic led by Mrs. Estella Diggs, president of the Central District Convention. This was followed by the appointment of committee on finance and committee on enrollment. Through representatives, greetings and welcome were extended to the delegates in the name of the church and district. The addresses all had the ring of welcome, and told of hospitable Central as well as the people of the state. The addresses were punctuated with outbursts of applause. The addresses were delivered by Mrs. Katie Boggs and Mrs. C. E. Alexander. Mrs. A. J. Abington, a pleasing and interesting speaker, responded to the addresses. Rev. H. W. Botts, of Boonville, preached the annual sermon. A solo by Mrs. S. E. Redd brought tears to many eyes. Charles Stewart, was introduced and made a short talk. He was elected official reporter for the convention. Central Baptist Church choir rendered A Republican State Convention of Negroes will convene in Sedalia, Monday and Tuesday, October 18 and 19.

McDowell, expresident of the convention, and one of the most noted women of her race in the country, made a short address. She spoke of the wonderful progress being made by the women who were working side by side with their husbands for the uplift of the race. She was given an ovation at the close of her address. The women are raising money for the educational work and are meeting with success. They declare that Western College shall be placed with the great institutions of the country. The necessary building for college work and equipment shall be had. The Sixty-fourth session of the Missouri Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church which has been in session this week has brought to St. Louis some noted churchmen of national reputation and fame, and some of the leading ministers of the state have been here. The conference was presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D. D., of Chicago, Ill. The conference is meeting in historic St. Paul, A. M. E., whose pastor is Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, D. D., who is slated for the episcopacy in his church. Bishop H. B. Parks called the conference to order Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock, and the chair led in singing, "And Are We Yet Alive!" Bishop Parks read the scripture lesson. The opening sermon was preached by Rev. S. S. S pitcher, Following the sermon Bishop Parks assisted by Revs. J. Frank McDonald, R. C. Ransom, J. I. Lowe, and W. B. Stewart, administered holy communion, to conference and Christians in the congregation. Roll was then called. All the ministers answered present. Rev. Dr. J. D. Barksdale was elected chief secretary; M. S. Smith was electer recording secretary; E. L. Clark, statistical secretary; E. R. Carter, Daniel Clarkston, Richard Clinton, and H. L. Higginbotham, marshals; A. King, reporter to the official church organs. A list of committees were read by the secretary. Among the visitors introduced to the conference were Rev. J. I. Lowe, Philadelphia, manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern; Reverdy C. Ransom, D. D., New York City, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review; J. Caldwell, D.

Harwood, Brooklyn, III.; George Shaw, Quincy, III, W. T. Vernon, ex-president Campbell college, Jackson, Miss.; Charles Stewart, Chicago. The time was spent in hearing reports of pastors. They were gratifying to the bishop. The citizens attended the conference in large numbers. The afternoon session was also spent in hearing reports and in general routine business. Bishop Parks announced that the conference would close Sunday night. Dr. W. S. Brooks, made his report on the first day a thing unusual in conferences. There were a number of ministers from the Baptist State Convention who looked in on the conference. Among them was the Rev. Dr. J. H. Carnett, president of Western College, Macon, Mo., the educational leader of the Missouri Baptists. The reception and banquet Wednesday night was the finest in the history of the conference, and the ministers were loud in their praises Dr. W. Sampson Brooks and the people of St. Paul. ces of Missouri will be discussed. A large delegation of about fifty, from Louis, and delegates from southeast Missouri, will leave Sunday morning. A. M. was a grand success. An menagerie witnessed the ceremonies. The members and pastor wish to thank their friends who donated so liberally. Rev. B.G. Shaw Returns From Month's Vacation Last Sunday morning a large gathering was present at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church to welcome the return of their beloved pastor, Rev. Dr. Shaw. They were very glad to greet him and he was equally as glad to greet them. He spoke at length as to his vacation and the things of the east. It is said by Bishop J. S. Caldwell and some of the eastern clergy that the Rev. Dr. Shaw swept the east as a great gospel preacher. He is regarded by the people of the Atlantic Sea Board as a western cyclone. Dr. Shaw is a great representative of the west, regardless of denomination; he visited every important city in the east, spoke and preached, at them all and his election to the financial secretaryship of the general church is almost assured. Last Sunday his bits of wit and humor fairly made the people of his congregation shake with laughter and then, as he moved on from the scene of the east, he spoke most powerfully from the subject, "The Blood of the Covenant speaketh better things than the blood of Abel." A vivid picture was drawn as he contrasted the difference between the blood of Abel and the blood of Christ; the blood of Abel crying for law, justice and revenge, the blood of Christ crying for mercy, pardon and peace. The church was packed Sunday night to hear him again. He will preach Sunday morning. Hear him. FAMOUS CORNETIST TO BE AT "Y" MEETING SUNDAY Next Sunday afternoon the men of St. Louis will have the opportunity of hearing again Mr. Albert E. Buss in his very interesting talk, "Holding the Rope." Mr. Buss is a cornetist of unusual charm, and the men who heard him last year were enthusiastic in saying that he was by all means the finest cornetist they had ever heard. It is unusual that such an opportunity is afforded our men to hear a man who can both bring a strong message and play with unusual skill. The place of these meetings which are held under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association is Pythian Hall. The time is 3:45 Sunday afternoon. On Monday night, as usual, the Glee Club will hold its rehearsal. Any men who are interested in music are cordially invited to join this Club. On Tuesday night the Men's Literary will meet. To this social event, all members and their friends are cordially invited. On last Sunday afternoon, Dr. Geo. Stevens brought the message to the men at the Y. M. C. A. meeting. His message on "The Young Man Who Made Good" was well received. The Religious Work Committee is beginning to feel that the Sunday afternoon meetings are an assured success. Dr. Stevens is authority for the statement that the attendance at the St. Louis men's meetings compare most favorably with the meetings of the cities in the West that he attended. This good record can only be kept up by all the men pulling together and turning out to the meeting Sunday afterfloon at 3:45, at Pythian Hall. THE STORK LEAVES TWINS Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Jones, of 4232a Fairfax Ave., were left a set of twins last Saturday morning. One is a boy and the other a girl, both fine, robust and healthy. Dr. Chas. Henry Phillips, Jr., was the attending physician. A very delicate operation became necessary and in this Dr. Phillips was ably assisted by Dr. R. C. Haskell and Dr. J. T. Phillips, of Nashville, Tenn. The mother is greatly improved at this writing. POLAR WAVE LODGE BAN- QUETED The banquet given at the Carnation Cafe, Friday evening, October 8, in honor of the Polar Wave Lodge, No 112, officers, was attended by a large crowd. Messrs. Dix and Hawkins spared no pains in preparing a gorgeous wine supper. The guests highly complimented the service and the beautiful decorations in the fraternity colors. LEONARD AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES Last Sunday was covenant meeting and we had lovely services all day. The pastor, Rev. P. W. Dunavant, preached an inspiring sermon at night. Every department of the church is in good working order, and we cordially invite visitors to attend any of our services.

REMAINS OF MISS WILHELMINA TATE TAKEN TO NASHVILLE The funeral of Miss Wilhelmina Tate, who lost her life in an automobile accident October 7, was held at the residence, 4591 St Ferdinand, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Brooks officiating. The services were very impressive. The remains were taken to Nashville, Tenn., for burial. Assistant Circuit Attorney Bishop issued a warrant for manslaughter in the fourth degree this week against the driver of the automobile that caused her death.

LOUIS ARGUS There is evidence of a great moral effect in the life of Naaman following this experience (vv. 15-19). He became an open reactor of the heathen gods and a professed follower of Jehovah when he returned to Damascus. As such he became the ministering prince. VII. The Ministering Princess. (1) By public profession (see Rom. 10:9, 10; Matt. 10:23) (3) By a peculiar request which became a great object lesson in Damascus; (3) By a new purpose of heart which would change his future course of action. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course, the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 17. ELISHA HEALS NAAMAN THE SYRIAN. LESSON TEXT-II Kings 5:1-14, 14 GOLDEN TEXT-I am Jehovah that healeth thee—Ex. 15:2. Read carefully the intervening Scripture following last Sunday's lesson to get the account of Elisha's activities. There is recorded the story of the poisoned fountain (2:19-22). The "hoodlum" gang (vv. 22, 24) which is a story for boys. Note Elisha had nothing to do with the bears, nor does the record say that the bears killed the boys. Nett the story of the Widow's oil (4:17). Finally, the suggestive stories of the Shunammite woman (vv. 8-37), and the feeding of the prophets and the people (vv. 38-44). Now we come to Elisha's most famous experience, that with Naaman of Damascus. This city is reputed to be the oldest in the world and is situated about 100 miles (air line) northeast of Samaria. This event probably occurred between 904 and 894 B.C. I. A Ministry in the Home, v. 1.7. Naaman had all that heart could wish, seemingly. Exalted, rich, a great man, honorable and successful in his undertakings, "but he was a leper. As such he is a type of the sinner. Leprosy begins practically in secret, is transmissible, may be ameliorated, but cannot be cured by man. In his home was one who knew the Lord, one who observed, who loved as well as served. This maid was a true servant, for she showed her master how to be rid of his malady. For all of his wealth Naaman was not happy. He knew and others would soon know his condition. His wife could not help him, and did not take the maid's message to him. Perhaps she did not rightly value it. But there was cooperation in that household evidently, for "one went in and told his lord" (v. 4). There was also co-operation between the home and the government, for the king of Syria sent a letter to the king of Israel (v. 5). The strength of any nation is in proportion to the strength, unity and loyalty of its homes. It is also in proportion to the care and interest which that government takes in its homes. II. A Ministering Prophet (vv. 8-14). The king of Syria thought he could buy everything, including the desired cure (vv. 5, 6). His letter brought great consternation to Israel's king, probably Jehovah. The value of the gifts presented, perhaps over $100,000, revealed the urgency of the case. But there was one in Israel who was not disturbed, for he knew more fully the power of Jehovah. Elisha is a type of Christ who offers not only to all lepers but to every unfortunate one "rest" (Matt. 11:28-30). Elisha responded to the need of the nation (v. 8), as well as to the need of Naaman the leper, when he volunteered to become the champion of Jehovah (v. 7). The prince came, however, filled with a sense of his importance and his pride stood in the way of his relief, hence the manner of Elisha's treatments. Waiting thus before the prophet's door Naaman is a type of the great of this earth who shall yet bow before God's people (Isa. 60:1-3) and before his Son (Phil. 2:19). By human arguments Naaman was right (v. 12) and his rage was justified, but he must learn that as a suppliant he cannot dictate means nor methods. The rich and cultured sinner cannot select his own way of healing, nor be treated any differently than the poor and the ignorant. The river Jordan is a type of the judgment on sin. Sin must be judged by confession (Rom. 15:9, 18). Sin must be renounced before we can be cleansed (I Cor. 11:31; I John 1:9). It was a slow, a patient, a public process through which Naaman must pass, but such had been the development of leprosy in his life. God had judged sin on Calvary (Rom. 8:3; II Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13) and as Naaman went down in the Jordan he took, in figure, the sinner's place, even as Jesus later took that place for us, (Matt. 3:13-15). Though inclined to act the fool, yet Naaman wisely harkened to his servant (v. 13) and obeyed the command of the prophet. His cure came because he obeyed Jehovah: (a) He heard of one who could cure (v. 3); (b) he believed (v. 4); (c) he forsook his own thoughts (v. 11); (d) he accepted God's thoughts and methods (vv. 13, 14); (e) he took the sinner's place (vv. 10, 14); (f) he became clean after his obedience (vv. 14, 15). Do REV. WM. WALLACE KETCHUM Divisor of the Practical Work Course, Muncie Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT-That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man.-Ephesians 3:16. This is one of four petitions which constitute Paul's prayer for the Ephe- sian Christians. It teaches us for one thing that God intends his people to be people of power. One speaking of this prayer says: "Paul's prayer is God's purpose." By this he means that what Paul prays we may have and may be, God intends we shall have and shall be. Before every Christian God places potential- P ly this blessing of power. That is, every Christian may have this power if he desires it and makes it possible for God to give it to him. For God never purposes for us to have anything, that he does not make it possible for us to possess it. To do otherwise would be to tease and tantalize us, and God never does that. When he exhorts us to "be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might," he makes it possible for us, if we make it possible for him, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man. The expression "inner man" undoubtedly means the soul—the inner self—as distinguished from the visible material body which it animates. Peter calls the inner man, "the hidden man of the heart" (I Peter 3:4). And Paul in another place speaks of it as "the inward man," contrasting it with "the outward man," which, he says, perishes daily (II Cor. 4:16). It is very evident from this that the strength which may be ours is not physical power, nor even mental power which many strive to attain, but inner spiritual strength. It is strength of Christian character and nobility of soul. The one possessing this inner strength is fortified against temptation. It was this strength that enabled Joseph to maintain the integrity of his character in the face of the temptation of Potiphar's wife and prompted him to reply to her evil suggestion: "How then, can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?" It is the strength, which when possessed, makes one mighty in holy service. Paul without it, would never have been the mighty apostle; and without it Peter would have remained the vacillating cowardly disciple. Without it there would have been no Martin Luther, no John Knox, no Charley Wesley, no William Carey, no Charles Spurgeon, no Dwight L. Moody. These men were what they were and did what they did, because they were strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man. Again, this petition teaches us that God is the one who imparts this inner strength through his holy spirit. The petition is, "that he would grant us to be strengthened with might by his spirit." So while in another place we are exhorted to "be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might," we learn here that the strength by which we are to be made strong comes from God. He is the one who empowers us. Yet, if we are to be strengthened by God, we must place ourselves before God in such a way that he can give to us the strength of the Lord. We of ourselves are impotent, but God has made every provision for impotent people to be people of power. He is able and whata only our willingness for him to impart unto us his strength. The laws that govern the imparting to us of his strength are the laws that govern the reception into our lives of the holy spirit in power. It is the holy spirit who is spoken of in the word as "the spirit of might." He it is then, who must have his place of power in us if we are to be strengthened with might in the inner man. The early church was commanded to tarry in Jerusalem for the power necessary for service, and on the day of Pentecost while they tarried the power came, when the holy spirit descended upon them. Ever since that day "the spirit of might" has been in the earth ready to take his place of power in every believer's life. Ready and willing is he to empower the people of God, but ready and willing only as we recognize him as the power we need to make us strong, ready and willing if we will surrender ourselves to God, and by faith receive the holy spirit to be in what he desires to be, "the spirit of might." Then there will be fulfilled in our lives the apostle's prayer which, while primarily for the Ephesian Christians, is also for us that we might be strengthened with might in the inner man.

As one reads the Negro newspapers from week to week they cannot but feel that as a class the Negro editors are just about as unselfish as any set of people in the country. They are; in fact, the ultra-exponents of unselfishness. No less than a dozen of these papers take their turn each week and speak editorially to the race, urging them to patronize the members of the race who are in business. That appears to be one topic on which all of the publishers agree and in agitating for more liberal and sustained patronage for Negro business enterprises they are prompted by no loftier motive than their pride of race and their absorbing desire for the race's upclimb into the more important avenues of commerce and industry. For this they are to be commended and should be encouraged. By continually urging the race to support its business men, these papers are extending the trade of the Negro business men. But what are the Negro merchant as a group giving back to the Negro papers in return for what they are doing to co-operate with all this agitation? It must be granted that quite a few individual merchants give their printing of stationery to colored printers and not a few insert small advertisements in Negro newspapers which in many instances is "traded out," but there is entire absence of group appreciation on the part of Negro merchants for the great work now being done for them by the Negro editors. Here are some questions which suggest themselves as we read the Negro papers and see how earnestly they are pulling for the Negro business men: Why do the colored merchants not speak up for themselves? Why do they continue to let the Negro newspapers pay their advertising bills? Why are they content with the business which "drifts in?" Why do they not combine and go after the race's business in a big way? The business is certainly there for the asking. The race is spending now about $600,000,000 a year for food and only about a fourth of this is going to colored merchants; the race is spending $50,000,000 a year for shoes and only about one-twentieth of this is going to Negro dealers. There is but one way to get this business and that is to go after it in a definite and determined way. The burden of educating and cultivating this trade rests with the business men themselves and should not be left to the colored papers. They have their hands quite full in getting our young folks educated and in protecting our rights. To accomplish something that would really justify the effort, the merchants must of course realize the situation as it is and then determine to work out a plan which will accomplish the desired results. First, have a common understanding on the question of service. White merchants are their chief competitors and no step towards securing bigger Negro trade can be made without studying the methods of competitors in order to meet them with methods equally as effective. Service has been one of the important contributing factors to the success of white business enterprises and service is fifty per cent of any selling plan. National Negro Business League, Talk No. 4.

Their indifference ranges all the way from those who stand about and inquire what is being done to those who think it would be a good thing for the Negro. Any day one can meet Negroes who ask, "What are they doing about segregation" just as though it was the prime and chief duty of some other set of human beings to be more interested in the question than they, themselves are. These people never go to a meeting where the question is being discussed, never read a newspaper or other document dealing with the proposition nor will they contribute one penny to pay for printing or postage of the thousands of pieces of mail matter that are being sent out daily. There is another class of Negroes, some of them of pretended intelligence, who go about saying there is no need to be alarmed since nothing of the kind will pass in St. Louis. It is safe to say that, if the passage or defeat of the measure depended on their efforts, nothing would be accomplished in either direction. Unfortunately those advocating the passage of the proposed ordinance haven't any of these do-notings among them. But the worst class of all is composed of Negroes who think it would help the colored people to be segregated, because of business reasons. They say it would force them to trade with each other and spend their money among themselves. These Esau would sell the race's birthright to liberty and citizenship for a mess of pottage, even though they had to sit on a dung-fill and eat it after obtaining it. It is only too true that Negroes are not clanish enough and are hindering themselves seriously because they will not trade among themselves more, but we resent the slander of the race implied in the statement that the Negro must be disgraced, degraded, segregated and stripped of his rights as a citizen to make him do his duty along racial lines. It is an absolute falsehood; and the men preaching this doctrine are a dangerous menace to the race. Let the Negroes of St. Louis realize that this is every Negro's fight. The obligation of each individual is limited solely by his ability. Those who have great ability, must do great work; and those who have little ability must do what they can: but all must work. The Board of Aldermen will probably not pass this ordinance, but that action brings it to a vote of the people. It cannot and will not be defeated unless every citizen who loves liberty and fair play goes to the polls and votes against it. Let every Negro get ready to vote himself and let him work to create sentiment against this nefarious measure. Any Negro, who believes that segregation is a good thing for his race, is less than a man and should be ostracised. P. BISHOP BLANTON H PARKS: PLEASANT GREEN NOTES.

Would it not also be well to have a "Seed Corn Day?" A day when everyone should begin the harvesting and storing of his seed for the following spring. We laugh at our grandfathers for planting their potatoes and sowing their grain "in the moon," that is, in certain phases of the moon. The value of this practice lay, not in the fact as supposed by many that the moon exercised any influence on the crop, but in the having of a definite time and plan for the doing of various things on the farm. If the harvesting of seed corn, like the feeding of stock, came every day, it would be attended to on time, but it is nothing more nor less than human that the work which comes only occasionally or once a year, as in the case of the harvesting of seed corn should be put off or neglected altogether, unless there is a definite time and plan for the work. 1915 A BAD YEAR. Indications point to trouble in the corn belt this year. 1915 is an abnormal year. Excessive moisture and cool weather has retarded the growth of corn, especially in the northern states. Corn will be late in maturing and there will be a tendency to gather seed corn late. Watch this. Don't wait too long. Don't wait till frost beats you to it. Frost bitten corn will not grow. Gather your seed corn before frost comes. Store it where it will dry out and not freeze or mold. Don't forget that next year's corn crop will depend on the seed you gather this fall. Pick Your Seed Corn Early. A sock with the mouth held open by a bag hoop and strung over the shoulder by a rope or strap is very convenient in gathering seed in the fall. The corn may be piled on the ground at the end of the rows or in the middle of the field and gathered up in a wagon or plied made for that purpose. Corn should not be left on the ground overnight or piled up in blue or earth in this condition it may mold or腐 ILS rare 4 ne ; a: Bite. Joe R. Bamett, 20: N.

Rev. A. N. Webb, who has been serving as pastor of Shiloh A. M. E. Church, was sent to Paris, Ill. for the ensuing year. Many friends are sorry of his removal from this city. The $500 rally of the St. John A. M. E. Zion Church has come to a close. It is reported that it was a success. Many of the clubs are laboring still to bring the amount to a larger figure. The East St. Louis Forum has started in full swing for the winter. With the return of many of its ardent devotees from their vacations, President Dudley hopes to accomplish wonders this year. At Lincoln High School, Monday evening, October 11, Mr. Charles Stewart, of Chicago, a member of the Associated Press, delivered a timely and instructive lecture. His subject was, "Sambo Waxed Fat and Kicked." In his characteristic way, Mr. Stewart told of some of the shortcomings of the race and of the possibilities. He was particularly emphatic in telling what "Sambo" (the Negro) must kick against. The lecture was given for the benefit of the Athletic Association of that school. Mr. Stewart will address the men only at St. Paul Baptist Church, 3 o'clock, Sunday afternoon, and the ladies' only at St. Luke A. M. E. Church at 5 o'clock. The football outlook at Lincoln High School is very bright this season. While there are not many large boys in school, those who are there show remarkable ability. The school is very fortunate in having Mr. A. M. Jackson as coach. He has turned out some winning teams in the various parts of the country and is confident that he will have a winning team at Lincoln. The boys have been training three weeks now. They have two games with Sumner, one on the 25rd inst., at Kyle's Park, East St. Louis, and on the 6th of November in St. Louis. Unless Sumner has a better and faster team than she sent over last year she is destined to be humbled before the swift and skillful Lincoln gridiron artists. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, under the leadership of Dr. F. D. Halsey and his associates, is striving to be of service to the race in this city and county. It is hoped that every race-loving Negro in the city will seek the membership committee at once and become a member of this beneficent organization.

The Russell-Owens Company will close a three weeks' engagement at the Booker Washington Theater Sunday night, in a blaze of glory. This company of capable performers has made a decided impression here. We will regret to see them go and welcome a return at any date. This week's show is in keeping with the standard set by the previous offerings and making a big hit. The first part is made up of a shadowgraph skit, by the company; a song by Miss Mack and company, and vaudeville turn by Ernest Watts. All are good. Watts makes a big hit in his smoking stunt. The playlet, "Woman Against Woman," occupies the second half. The plot has been previously given in these columns. The act is full of thrills, and is well staged with special scenery and costumes. Miss Perry, as "Spanola Rose," and Miss Mitchell, as the American Western girl, "Madge," have the leading roles. They are ably supported by the other members of the company in conspicuous parts. Plenty of dancing and sweet music contribute to the color of the act. The company should close here with a rousing reception.

BASEBALL GIANTS WILL PLAY IN EAST ST. LOUIS SUNDAY The St. Louis Giants will go to East St. Louis Sunday to meet Stack's All-Stars at 3 p.m. The east side bunch bids fair to be the stiffest proposition the Giants have had to face this season. The line-up includes Coleman, of Columbus, Kelly, of Pittsburgh, Dale, of St. Paul, Tobin and Hughy Mills of the St. Louis Feds and Max Slack, of Chicago. The game will be staged at Polo Park, 19th and Lynch St. The Giants kept up their winning record by subduing Brock's All Stars last Sunday before nearly 6,000 fans, 9 to 2. Mills' boys had their opponents at their merey, and were never forced to extend themselves. LET US DO Your Printing GATES AND MANUEL Dubertshorn, 4037 Pimag Ave. Pimag, Del. 882; Lindall 3009. EVERYBODY WANTS 1916 GIANTS PEOPLES THEATRE OPEN SATURDAY Rumor on top of rumor has it that first one man then another will own the 1916 St. Louis Giants, composed of the famous aggregation of stars which Charley Mills banded together late last spring after it looked impossible to even get a fair club. Every good fan hopes to see this speedy bunch wearing a St. Louis uniform next season. The Giants have not only been a big success this season but they have done much to break down the barrier of hate and prejudice which always handicaps the Negro athlete. After listening to the rumors the Argus reporter called on Mills and asked him concerning the St. Louis Giants of 1916. The little fellow up like a clam and offered only a smile. When the reporter mentioned the fact that it could be possible for another to take the club, Mills replied, "That is a matter of business, and every man has the right to make money." From one of Charley's close friends it was learned that secret conferences on Negro baseball have been going on for three or four weeks. A brewing association has already, it seems, submitted plans and specifications of a modern and up-to-date park for his approval. Charley refused to affirm or deny this statement, but did reply, "I have tried hard and may surprise the wizq ones: I don't believe in talking. I have taken a long chance in the past. I made it possible for Colored baseball in St. Louis and have nothing to be ashamed of. Wait until April, 1916, and see where the bell rings. I never was a quitter. Don't know what that word quit means." The reporter took up the cue and played his trump. "Don't you know that it is rumored that some of your boys will or have already jumped to another organization?" he was asked. "What is the difference?" was the reply. "I can put a club in St. Louis that will make the fans forget the 1915 club. There PEOPLES THEATRE The People's Theater, a new picture and vaudeville house, at 2828-30 Easton Avenue, just west of the old Sheridan House, will be opened Saturday evening, October 16, under the management of Chas. A. Hunter and Louis R. May, the men who made the Lincoln Airdome (Elleardsville) famous. The theater will seat 800 persons and will open with 5 reels of motion pictures and vaudeville, offering music, songs, frolicking fun and motion pictures for 5 cents admission. "The Diamond From the Sky" and "The Broken Coin" will be taken up and run until finished for the benefit of the Elleardsville residents who were following these pictures at the Lincoln. The dates will be announced later. The doors will open every evening at 7:15 and a handsome souvenir will be given everyone who attends the opening Saturday. Walter Lowe will be advertising agent and operator.

They have given me their best service. Any time they hook with me they must 'have 'em.' Then Mills reached the climax, "Gee, don't you know the music has just started to play? Watch, this fight. It's going to be a manly one, purely on its merits. Competition makes business and maybe we will see a series next season for the city championship, eh? Not so bad." With that he swung away leaving the reporter still deeper in the mystery. The crafty little manager will beat watching. He has a host of admirers and friends and has been a winner at anything he touches and if we have a baseball war next season the fans are set for some lively times. CHAS. A.

Lady Attendant. Week Mediums Developed. NOTE.—These calls for pasties, curries and frivolous persons are only waiting time calling on Prof. Gladstone. 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 psychic 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 chasm which separates the human body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be is told.
