Herald The Knights of Pythias Order has made a remarkable growth in the past 16 years in this state. From the report of Hon. Walter K. Choin, Superintendent of Insurance of Missouri, we have book value of real estate to the amount of $28,000.00; deposits in bank on interest, $8,533.55; deposits in the bank not on interest, $3,903.27; total ledger assets, $40,436.82; total admitted assets, $42,819.82. Total liabilities, $6,149.95. The grand lodge owns a three-story brick building with basement located at 3137 Pine Street, St. Louis, which cost them $28,000.00. The net income of this building is about $12,000 per year. All death claims are paid promptly. There are about 96 subordinate lodges in Missouri, with a membership of about 4,800 representing insurance at $1,200,000. The affairs of the society are efficiently and economically managed under the able leadership of Hon. A. W. Lloyd, who has been at the head of this order for 14 years. The books of account are kept in good shape, and the society is conducting its business according to law, which sneaks volumes for it. The Grand Lodge is to convene in our city next July, and we should feel complimented to be hosts to an institution that has done so much for the race in so short a time. 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF NAOM HOUSEHOLD, G.

Supplied by the National News Bureau. NEGROES AGAIN REGISTER IN CAROLINA Atlanta, Ga.—The unrest which have been felt in certain South Caroline localities recently over the prospect of the Negro vote becoming once more a political factor in elections in that state was emphasized at the registration offices in Charleston last Monday, when voters registered for the city general election of December 14. The registrars experienced much more difficulty in completing the registrations than in a great while. I is felt in Charleston that this waived in some measure to the number of Negroes in line. There were not, as a matter of fact a large number of Negroes who registered, there being perhaps a scout out of about 350 persons. In Charleston, however, it is regarded as remarkable that there should have been any Negroes in line on that day. Whatever may have been the reason to the Charleston News and Courier it "ought to be more or less illuminating to those people who are under the mistaken idea that the Negro has permanently laid aside political ambitions. He hopes the solidarity of the whites will be terminated some day, with the possibility that in every election he might hold the balance of power." Nothing will be more remarkable than that the Negroes should do jus that thing through the educationa and property tests. They are making greater progress each year. THE UNPREPARED ARE BEATEN New York, N. Y.—At a great meeting held here in New York, last week John Temple Graves, the Southern Editor of the New York American known in other days as a Southern, "fire-eater," made a speech in the interest of education in which he said among other things that the unprepared are beaten even before they start. There is something of irony it contemplating John Temple Grave breathing such magnificent and generous thoughts in the interest of educating all of the people when one remembers that he devoted many years to his life, while in the South, to keeping the Negro people "in their place. Nevertheless, the sentiments expressed by Colonel Graves are representative of present-day public opinion with reference to the education of all the people. He was speaking in the interest of the immigrants—that is alien peoples—but what he has to say applies to the necessity of education for the Negro people just as strongly as what he had to say applies to the necessities, etc., of the alien immigrants. In the course of his remarks, Colonel Graves said: "There is nothing finer in this republic than the spirit which would seek an education at great personal sacrifice. And the spirit which would deny it that right is unnatural and unpatriotic. "We must bring every force of public opinion to bear to aid those who are hungering and thirsting for the food and drink of knowledge to enable them to be better prepared for life's work. "Unpreparedness is a crime. The unprepared are the beaten. The unprepared look with somber eyes upon the future. It is a coward nation that would send its troops into battle without arms. It is no less cowardly and unwise for a nation or a city to send its young men and young women to grapple with life's problems unprepared. The crime of letting children be unprepared is a crime the world over." Colonel Graves has considerably broadened, and it is hoped that the opinions expressed by him in his New York speech represent his opinion, generally, with reference to the education of all people. Buffalo, New York.—As a result of a debate here in the class of men and women conducted by E. J. Ward, the University of Wisconsin community center expert, the class came to a decision, by a vote of 10 to 5, that the saloon of today follows the general ideas of Jesus Christ better than the church of today. It was a startling decision. The discussion viewed the question entirely from the social center idea, holding that both the saloon and the church were wrong in some respects, and that a happy medium, combining the "good fellowship" spirit of the sa- ELDORADO GOLD STAR MINING COMPANY LARGE CROWD AT TURNER MEMORIAL Enthusiastic Audience Heard Rare Oratory at Pythian Hall Last Sunday in Tribute to Great Statesmen. Permanent Organization Formed to Erect Monument to His Memory. Regardless of the many counter attractions last Sunday, a large crowd assembled at Pythian Hall to pay tribute to the memory of J. Milton Turner. With few exceptions, the program was carried out according to the original plans. The omissions were excusable on account of the postponement. Rarely, if ever, has such oratory been heard in St. Louis. The speakers would have done justice to the largest gathering in the city's history. Capt. Tandy, Prof. Murray, George B. Vashon, Atty. Homer G. Phillips, Prof. J. O. W. Alexander and Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., spoke with a feeling and logic that imparted a new inspiration to their hearers. Prof. Elmer Keeton presided at the piano and Prof. J. Arthur Freeman rendered a solo. At the close of the program, a permanent memorial organization was formed, for the purpose of erecting a monument to the memory of Mr. Turner. A meeting will be called later.

PAST AND FUTURE "The Past and Future of the Subjective Races," is the title of a very interesting and instructive lecture that is to be delivered next Thursday, Dec. 10, at 8 o'clock p. m., in the lecture hall, Central Library, Thirteenth and Olive Streets by Mr. Percival Chubb, leader of the St. Louis Ethical Society. This lecture will be the third of a series of instructive talks by eminent leaders of thought of our country, arranged by the booklovers, informal Dames, Frau Fraus and Thimble Clubs.

Choir Processional at 10:50 boon with the spiritual ideas of the church must be realized before the church fulfills its mission and attain the place it should hold in the life of the day. Physically, it was held the saloon is bad, but in its spirit of sociability and fellowship it holds a place, according to the debaters, which the church does not hold and should hold. Were Jesus to come, back on earth, the debaters maintained, the church would be his first object of attack, and not the saloon. The discussion and the decision reached have been subjects of much discussion here. L. E. GUEST, FORMER ST. LOUISAN, TELLS OF SUCCESSFUL NEGRO CORPORATION OWNING VALUABLE MINING PROPERTIES IN NEVADA. 100,000 SHARES NON-ASSESSABLE STOCK. INVESTMENTS NOW WORTH 200 PER CENT. L. E. Guest is in the city representing the above Company. Mr. Guest was formerly a resident of this city and when seen by an Argus reporter he stated that he had gone out West a few years ago and had found a very substantial and reliable business corporation, and that he felt fortunate in having connected himself with it. He said: "It is the best business investment that has ever come to the Negro race. The officers are men of unquestionable character and integrity. I feel under many obligations to my many friends in St. Louis to give them an opportunity to share in this gilt-edge investment." A FEW FACTS "The Company That Is Doing Things" Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, November 12, 1909. Filed its articles of incorporation with Secretary of State of California, and was Licensed for legal protection, April 16, 1912. The Corporation was re-organized and the affairs of the company placed under new management June, 1910. Since then the progress of the company has been beyond the most sanguine expectation. Level headedness has been the standard, by which the board of directors governed their actions, in the interest of the company. The reports of the board at each succeeding "annual meeting," giving the masterly manner in which the business affairs have been conducted, has established such implicit confidence in the management, as to re-elect and maintain the same members' of the board as directors. Method The Eldorado Gold Star Mining Corp. profited by the mistakes of other mining companies, they did it in this way; many mining companies install expensive machinery before they really ascertain, or know, what they have in gold and silver metals, etc. To avoid any possibility of a like disapointment, the first instruction issued by the board of directors, was to initiate only sufficient machinery, for the prosecution of the development world on their properties, to such depths as to determine with absolute certainty what they had. This was accomplished to a most satisfactory degree; large fissure veins and ledges bearing gold, silver, lead and iron have been opened in place under hanging walls well defined with lime gauger. The ledges can be traced on the surface from 1,500 feet to 6,000 feet in various instances: vein "C" for about 2,500 vein "D" for about 1,500. Width of veins from $3\frac{1}{2}$ feet to 20 feet. This description refers to the Gold Star Mining group, embracing two (2) claims of twenty acres each. These properties were, acquired by purchase, and the board of directors gave special attention to the clearing of the title to them, and are pleased to report that the undertaking was a success. Other Acquisitions Other mining groups, contiguous or adjoining the "Gold Star Group of Claims," have been bought by this Corporation, namely the "Silver Region of Mines," embracing nine claims: the Older Silver Legion, Runaway, Sunshine, Tyee, R. & F. Fredericks, Lookout, Copper King and Captain. Considerable work has been done on these claims. One working shaft is down 80 feet, a second 180 feet, and numerous other cuts, stopes, drifts, etc. There are on the dumps of this group of claims 16,000 tons of ore, average values from $8 to $20 per ton. There are exposed in the shafts of this same group of claims large bodies of ore, average from $27 to $50 per ton. Then there is the "Combination Group of Mines," embracing two claims, the "Lloyd" and "Marion," twenty acres each, making a total of thirteen (13) claims, or two hundred and sixty acres owned and controlled by this corporation. There is one shaft on this group 130 feet deep, also a 100-foot tunnel. Four thousand tons of ore on the dump, average $16-20 per ton. Ore exposed in shaft, average from $12 to $137 per ton.

Possibilities In the opinion of this corporation, there is no line of business that offers as great an opportunity for big returns on the investment as purchased shares of the stock of this company. An investment to any considerable amount, will bring certain and surprising returns in the form of dividends. It means the emancipation from want and hard times.

They consent to live apart in cities and towns; they will not pass through’ the: streets where a Brahman lives;, they do not approach to anything that is pure, and there they are doomed, or doom themselves, to the most abject “and humiliating life’ of drudgery and proscription. Do wemot see this Negro Pariah in the colored leader who tells his peoplé not to protest against segregation, but to stay apart and live by themselves in the cities and towns? : ‘This segregation movement is riot based on social circumstances or vocation, as in India, but on color. This prejudice to color is the ‘bulwark and comerstone of the segregation idea. Nothing is said about the criminal tendency of the races; nothing abot! the unclean- liness or disorderly character of the residents, but-simply that the Ne- gro be forbidden to live in certain blocks on account of the racial pro- portions of the population. ‘There seem to be no amends for the crime that we are colored. No incomparable skill.or experience, no hero- ism on the battlefield for the American flag, no heights we may have scaled in genius and learning, can avail against the deep damnation that brutal race hatred assigns to our color. _ ecu America cannot afford to wound our loyalty, to insult dur’ deyo- tion to the flag; to disrespect our toil’ and patience. There is not a tight that-we-enjoy that was not won at the point of the sword. There is not a step that we have made forward in civilization that has not been the result of the race's inherent moral and intellectual hardihood: Our citizenship was not a gift, but a prize that we won.

DEAR SIBI: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. My mind was made, up to have some performed, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when a cure could be effected by the use of your Remedy. I took a bottle which swept a greenish mass from my system, including a number of genuine gall stones. Thank heaven, I took my friend a advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver Preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and oftentimes had pains in my side and back. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Nashville Fire Department and will always recommend your medicine. CAPT. P. M.

Pendleton, has discovered a method for treating the hair which leaves it fluffy and greaseless, giving a natural effect. The preparation is absolutely harmless and is a boon to many ladies who have heretofore objected to hair treatment because of the greasy after-effect. Miss English uses the Molar system, gives first treatment, on ordinary work, for 50 cents, and box of oil free.

LOUIS “ARGUS ~ INTERNATIONAL “LESSON “Handay ‘choot Couive of Moody Bie Institute of Chicago.) ee (Copyright 1915, Weatern Newspapge Union.) ee ee LESSON FOR DECEMBER 12 JEHOVAH: YEARNG OVER-ISRAGL. eee with — lt ‘man, banda B13 ee A contemporary of Isaiah and Amos, Hosea continued to prophesy ‘after the first captivity of the northern kingdom. His style ts abrupt and fig- urative. Israel is Jehovah's sdulter- Qus wife, repudiated, but finally to be purified snd restored. This lesson is & part of, tho second section -of -the book (4:1-13:8), which 1s a descrip- tion of the sinful people. es |. “The Porverse Child” wy.: 17. @ “remnant” (ch. 6:13) had erled ‘out for’ relief. ‘(See Isa. 1:9; Rom 2:5). Jehovah's reply (begins 6:4). is & severe arraignment of Israel's back- sliding as contrasted with. his grace. To. understand this lesson read the entire book repeatedly. In yerse 1 of the lesson Jehovah recalls to the na- tion the days of its childhood.’ Be- cause of his great love (Deut. 7:7) ho called them out of Egypt, the land of bondage, into Canaan, the-land of blessing and itberty. Yet Israel sensed not its duty nor its obligation of grati- tude. We are living under a greater obligation because of the greater: ro- demption God hss provided for us in the person of his Son. God here calls Israel “my son” (Ex. 4:22); we have the right to call ourselves sons (Jobn 1:12; L John 3:12). Matthew's gos Pél applies these words to him. who alone was fully and in the true sense God's son. Jesus ts the summary of ‘the whole nation in that he alone fully Teallzed God's purpose in tersel (Matt 315), om As contrasted with what a son is or should: be verse 2 gives a picture of Israel's wandering. The whole his- tory of the nation {s one of going after false gods, (I. Sam: 8:7-9 and many other references.) In those childhood days (v. 3) Jehovah taught them how to walk, and heated their hurts, pat they-knew not”—God, as » tender Fa- ther, had waiched over tatehh, west. td and healed (Ex. 19:14; tea. 46:3; 63:9). Even so, in this prosent ‘age God is « God of mercy and long aut- fering (Rom. 2:4), yet the mass of men “know not” what God "ld dottg for them. In verse 4 the child has grown oldér and as mothers oftee tether a child lest it rum away, so Je hovah endeavors to draw Israel to him with “cords of love." His cord of love now is the mighty power of Calvary (John 12:32). Jehovah nat only drew but even sought to aati for he “laid meat unto them"—Jes will deliver us, for he bore our yoke Qfatt. 11:2830) and is fer us the Bread of Life (John 6:35, 58). Love does not mean that the backalider shall be free from punishment. “Be- cause they refused'to return. . the sword shall abide” (v. 5-6 and Heb. 12:6). Even so Gad did not permit them to go back to Egyptian bond- age (v. 5). Israel was.“ bent to back- sliding.” In spite of the constant call to worship and serve him none “would exalt him.” It, The Pleading Parent. wv. 812 None cam fathom the depths of the cry, “How shall I give: thee up, How shajl I deliver thee? (v, 8). Israel would persist and still Johovah pleads that perchance they would heed hié cry (Jer. 9:7; Lam. 3:33), Admelh ‘und- Zeboim: -were~ trretrievably over- thrown with Sodom and Gomorrah (Deut. 29:33), shall Israel likewise perish? No! (v, 9) for “I am God, not man,” God does not, lke man, change—his ‘covenants are not “scrape of paper,” iais love is-everiasting (Nu. 28:19), It 1s not God but man who is responsible for his destruction. The “Holy One in the midst of thee” ts there to save, not as an avenger. God has not come into our midst jn wrath —God’s passionate desire is to save not- to destroy. His purposes are those of love and redemption and as with’ Israel of old, so in this age, be wilt carry out these purposes in spite of our backsliding (Rom. 11:28-29), ‘Verses 10 and 11 are_prophetic of the ultimate repentance and restoration of Israe!—fudgment shail pass upon thet foes (Joel 3:16) and those of the dis- persion (see ‘parallel Isa. 11:11-16) shall gather, as “doves to their win- ” and be once more “in thelr ages; t. ¢., set up as a nation in their God-gigen land.
