SUPREME COURT TO PASS ON INITIATIVE HAS ADVANCED SEGREGATION CASE ON DOCKET. WILL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BEFORE ELECTION An appeal from Judge Shields decision on the validity of the Initiative Clause, in the new City Charter, was taken to the Supreme Court, Wednesday, and a motion filed at the same time to advance same, on the docket. The court en banc heard the motion, and granted it, thus insuring a decision on the validity of the clause, under which the proposed Segregation ordinances are submitted, before the election, February 29. Attorneys Homer G. Phillips, George L. Vaughn and Henry S. Caulfield are handling the matter in the Supreme Court for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE BULLETIN We have just received a copy, "Volume 1, No. 2, Lincoln Institute Bulletin." We regret very much that we did not receive the first issue. However, we suppose that it is published in the interest of Lincoln Institute. There is no doubt about the need of such a medium connected with a school as we have at Jefferson City, and we predict that the store of information coming from the bulletin each week or month, as the case may be, will be very helpful to its readers.

Will preach Sunday: Subject: "Preparedness." The storm and rain failed to stop a nice crowd from attending the morning service. The choir sang so as to make up any deficit on the part of the congregation. Dr. Shaw prescheduled as though he had a packed house. He promised to preach twice each Sunday for eight weeks. The public generally is invited to each service. T. M. C. A. Program at Pythian Hall Made Up of Patters and Sons. F. M. Cheley To Speak. List of Sub- scribers. --- Enthusiasm has the day around the Y. M. C. A., and from indications the collection for the Building Campaign will smash every record set up in the country. Before Feb. 1st, which was the time when the first payments were due, $1,500 had been turned over to the Treasurer of the Association, Mr. F. A. Sudholt. Mr. Jones, the Secretary of the Association, said to a reporter, "It's a go. We are not bragging, but the men of St. Louis are lined up behind the Association and are bringing in their checks. So it is bound to be a go." Not only is the Y. collecting money, but on Sunday afternoon they are to have a unique meeting Fathers and sons are to come together in a Fathers' and Sona' meeting. The entire program will be made up of Fathers and Sons and Mr. F. H. Cheley, who is an authority on Boys' work, will be the speaker at the meeting. Mr. Wm. Grant and his sons David and William are to sing a trio and Mr. Steve Mask and his son have been invited to sing. It will be an interesting meeting and unique in that it will serve in a way to bring to the attention of the fathers a need of companionship with their sons. The Y. promises next week to furnish a list of the paid up subscribers up to the present time. That will be most interesting reading. Continued list of subscribers: SPLENDID RECORD OF DR. W. S. BROOKS PREACHER, FINANCIER AND FRIEND TO THE PEOPLE INDORSED FOR THE BISHOPRIC And while Men and Measures are being so enthusiastically discussed, it is deemed eminently fitting to say a word relative to the progressive and well qualified pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, D. D. Dr. Brooks is regarded as a man who has tried to do his duty as God has given him the conscience and judgment to see it. In his efforts and accomplishments in the community, we have the most striking illustration of what energy, perseverance and indomitable will can do even amid the most adverse circumstances. 'the light,' and his masterful, logical and convincing sermons give unmissable evidence that he has gotten a tortorious results because he has received the magic touch of God. His dedication to the cause of human progress his happy faculty of entering into feelings of others; his dauntless age and invincible will-power and impeachable character, with his inlectual qualifications, long years of perience in church work, should enplace him in the forefront as to hisorship in the A. M. E. Church. As evidence of their confidence, Dr. Brooks, the Ministerial Alliance St. Louis met, and unanimously His pastorate here has been significant because of his signal success, financially, ridding as he did, historic St. Paul of an indebtedness that had extended over a period of some twenty-four years. During his first eighteen months here he raised in one rally $5,000; in another, $7,500, and in twenty-two months a sufficient sum to pay off the mortgage debt. It was when the church was free from all monetary obligations that he called the church together and in the presence of the presiding bishop of the grand old Fifth the Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, D. D., and a number of distinguished ministers and laymen whom he had invited, that the memorable jubilee and convocation was held, and with fitting ceremony burned the mortgage. But Dr. Brooks has other capabilities save that of a financier. He is a man that is imbued with great spiritual power. His power to lead men into At Poro College At Poro College It has been said that a product manufactured by one of our race, is greatly appreciated by its people, especially so, when it is protected from irritators, infringers, and impostors, and allowed to be sold only by diplomaed and legal agents. We know no product of this type, better than "Poro" to bring before you a hair preparation which is manufactured only by Mrs. A. M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone. In 1900 "Poro" Hair Grower and "Poro" Pressing Oil was placed before the public. A year later came "Poro" Temple Grower and "Poro" Special Temple Grower. After another year "Poro" Liquid Hair Grower and "Poro" Special Hair Grower were introduced to its agents and patrons. Two years later came "Poro" Shampoo and "Poro" Tetter Relief, until now "Poro" Preparations are eight in number. As time passed the idea of a stronger protection for "Poro" agents and "Poro" patrons grew, thus in June, 1915, a new style lithograph box was adopted which is put up in a carton bearing the "Poro" College colors, yellow and green. The cartons which contain these new style lithograph "Poro" boxes are sealed with a "Poro" TradeMark seal, and no "Poro" patron should purchase a box of "Poro" preparation with this seal broken or without this seal. It might be well to mention that "Poro" TradeMark infringers, "Poro" imitators and "Poro" importors, will be prosecuted. Any reports made of such persons will be thankfully received and thoroughly investigated. The office of "Poro" College speaks preparedness under the supervision of Mrs. alberta Hoagland, of Bloomington, HI., formerly a teacher in the Colored School of Napalua, Okla., and Miss M. Adelena Goins, of Columbus, Ohio, a recent graduate of Wilberforce University, and who was domestic science teacher and assistant matron at Payne University, Selma, Ala. The operating department is being well managed by Mrs. Clara Smith-Eaton, a Christian woman-of-marked character, who is able to give each and every customer complete satisfaction, and who exhibits courtesy to all. The mailing department, with Miss Mitte Foulks, of Sidney, Ill., who taught at the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute, as forelady, is to be congratulated upon the accurateness in the mailing of hundreds of packages daily, throughout the entire country; which places "Poro" College in the same class with other firms where large volumes of mail are handled. The few remaining cities and towns which had not heard of "Poro," are rapidly awakening to the fact that it is needed to complete their toilet, thus persons are fast enrolling in the instruction department, to receive instructions in "Poro" System, under the eleven years' experienced instructor, Miss Sarah Wood. In view of the fact that "Poro" Preparations are manufactured by one of our race, protected from imitators, PRICE 5 CENTS RECORD OF S. S. BROOKS AND FRIEND TO THE PEOPLE THE BISHOPRIC 'the light,' and his masterful; logical and convincing sermons give unmistakable evidence that he has gotten victorious results because he has received the magic touch of God. His devotion to the cause of human progress; his happy faculty of entering into the feelings of others; his dauntless courage and invincible will-power and unimpeachable character, with his intellectual qualifications, long years of experience in church work, should easily place him in the forefront as to leadership in the A. M. E. Church. As evidence of their confidence in Dr. Brooks, the Ministerial Alliance of St. Louis met and unanimously indorsed Dr. Brooks for the Bishopic. It seems very timely that the great A. M. E. Church should look well to the selection and elevation of men in whose hands their destiny is to rest. If the coming General Conference gives Dr. Brooks a place higher up he will, in every sense, be equal to the situation; will understand the needs of his time and with an unpretentious spirit, devoid of all arrogance, work among his people in a spirit of brotherly love. "Coming events cast their shadows before," and from present indications it seems that St. Paul Chapel, St. Louis, is to produce a bishop and that his name will be W. Sampson Brooks. He carries the congratulations of the community and if he is so fortunate as to receive episcopal honors, he will work out to the best of his ability the glorious possibilities which have been placed within his reach. Keystone Cafe Elaborate plans are being made for Patriot's Night at the Keystone Cafe and Hungalow, Saturday, Feb. 12, in honor of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. The place will be decorated in the National colors and the regular cabaret program will be extended to the rehition of well known and popular National Airs by the Keystone quartette. The theme will be "Freedom Forever, Segregation Never." Souvenirs will be given.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION New York office, Front & Frost, 23, East 26th Street; Chicago office, Front & Frost, Boyce Building; Front & Frost, Chandler Building; Nashville office, Front & Frost, Independent Life Building A STAB IN THE DARK The United Welfare Association seems to be a unit on the prosecution of the Negro. It also assumes the methods of a secret political organization after the order of the Ku Klux Klan. In a closing paragraph of an address it issues to the people, urging them to vote for segregation, it suggests secrecy as a protection for its voters and says, "You need not become publicly identified with us; just drop the enclosed postal in the mail box to assure us that you are with us." That means "a still hunt" on the part of the United Welfare Association. It means to secretly stab the Negro. It is civic humiliation. It suggests a method to escape from responsibility for the men who join in this fight for the humiliation of the Negro. It would be a good thing to get a complete list of subscribers to the petition invoking the initiative to be used in the segregation of the Negro and publish it, and then you might see 17,000 or 18,000 men walking through the streets of St. Louis with shamed faces. Any cause must be either wrong or weak that cannot be boldly advocated by all its followers. RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE AND RACE HATE In the opposition to the appointment of Louis D. Brandeis for the Supreme Bench you can see something of the course of religious intolerance and race hate that lie like a nightmare upon the progressiveness and aspirations of the American people. A Jewish journal (The Modern View) calls this opposition "quite satanic." If to oppose a man on account of religion is satanic, how will you class a man's opposition to another on account of his color, a circumstance over which he has neither choice nor control? Disraeli, the Jew, became the premier of England, after a struggle that lasted many years, and, admittedly, he was one of the ablest statesmen of his day in England. What a terrible fomentation in America would have taken place if the President had appointed a Negro as member of the Supreme Bench or upon the bench of the Federal Appellate Court. The cyclone of St. Louis in 1896 would have been a gentle zephyr to it. A "Southern Gentile Democrat" sent a telegram to Washington against Brandeis' appointment, simply because he is a Jew. This anonymous defamer is much like our St. Louis segregationists; he hides himself, but his name ought to be dragged out into the light, so that the people would know him and mark him as an enemy of mankind. ENCOURAGING RACE PREJUDICE (Editorial, Cape Girardeau, Mo., Daily Tribune, Jan. 29, 1916.) Agitators in St. Louis are making an effort to segregate the colored population of that city. A committee, composed of some of the most influential men in St. Louis, have announced that they will oppose the movement. A proposal to isolate the Negro would have created little surprise before 1861, but it cannot meet with approval in the enlightened era of today. It is unjust movements of this character that keep race hatred afame. They do neither the whites nor the blacks any good. The Negro is a part of the United States. He has shouldered his rifle at the call of his country, and he will do so again if the occasion arises. In this persecuted race there are good as well as bad. The bad are, and should be, punished, but those who strive to make good citizens should not be constantly harassed. The segregation movement in St. Louis will, and should, of course, fail, but the feeling that it engenders will require years to erase. If the whites were to lend a helping hand instead of to persistently abuse and offend, the Negroes who violate laws would rapidly decrease. Abraham Lincoln, undoubtedly the greatest American, either living or dead, argued against slavery. What he said in opposition to slavery is an argument against segregation. The following passages were taken from Lincoln's speeches: "No man is good. enough to govern another man without that other's consent." "This government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free." "I have always thought that all men should be free, but if it should be, first, those who desire it for themselves, and, secondly, those who desire it for others." "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand it." "Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed." "Our fathers brought forth a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." --- One of the most encouraging things that has happened recently is the formation of an auxiliary committee to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, among the prominent white people. Our president, Mr. Gustayua Tuckerman, Rev. John W. Day, and Mr. Roger Baldwin have been making an effort for some time to bring this about. Some of the members are Mr. Frank Crunden, expresident of City Club, chairman, Messra. Luther Ely Smith, Porsy Werner, Selden P. Spencer, Hugo Muench, Henry S. Caulfield, W. M. Chauvenet, Carl Gaylor and the before mentioned members of our branch. They are hoping to increase the membership of the committee to one hundred. The Local Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., feels deeply grateful in the fact that Judge Caulfield has associated himself with Messra. Vanghn and Phillips as leading attorney in appealing the case against the validity of the initiative law to the supreme court of the state. Following is a letter from Atty. W. Ashbie Hawkins, of Baltimore, Md. Read and be convinced. Baltimore, Md., January 29, 1916. Miss Kathryn M. Johnson, 3137 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo. My Dear Miss Johnson:— I have your favor of the 26th inst., inquiring about the effect of our segregation law on real estate in this city and I beg leave to submit herein my brief opinion thereon: The Baltimore Segregation Law has effectually put a stop to the purchase of property by Negroes in any other sections of the city than in those where Negroes lived or owned houses prior to its enactment. In the blocks wholly "colored" or "mixed" (and the latter are exempt from the operations of the law), it has had the effect of creating an unusual demand, with a consequent increase in prices, either for rent or purchase. In such blocks it is of the rarest occurrence to see a vacant house, whereas in the contiguous "white" blocks, numberless houses stand idle and untenanted, because colored people, under the law, are prohibited from occupying them, and white people will not rent or buy them. It has created a fictitious valuation on the property in the "colored" or "mixed" blocks to the temporary gain of the property holders in those sections, and it has lessened values in the contiguous "white" blocks, to the great loss, financially, of the owners of property therein. Rentals for Negroes have increased in some instances as much as fifty per cent, and for this reason, the law is working a hardship on many of those who are the least able to stand it. White owners are pocketing losses all over town in such blocks as I have mentioned. The test case now awaiting decision by our court of appeals arose over a corner house, the front of which is in a white block, but the only entrance is on the side and in a block wholly colored. The house was numbered on the street fronting it. The house stood idle for some time because no white person would rent it, opening as it does in a colored block, and for a long time, no colored man cared to risk arrest by moving into it, facing as it does, a white block. Finally a colored man sought to buy it, paid a small deposit on account, moved in, and then was arrested for violating the law. He gave bond, remained in the house for eight months, was unable to perfect the purchase because of the pernicious activity of his white neighbors in preventing his securing a needed mortgage loan, refused to pay rent, and afterward vacated only when assured that the owner, a white widow, was unable to stand further losses. It has done untold harm to the realty market in this city. I wish you success in your movement. You're very truly I received your clipping of an editorial of the 27th in the Post-Dispatch, a paper of your city, upon segregation, and I thank you for the same. I am delighted at the tones of the Post-Dispatch upon the latter. Nothing in the world will cause the disintegration, decay and ruin our country, except it be proscription, such as the kind referred to and brought about by segregation laws such as you are to vote on in your city February 29. People who think themselves better than their fellows always succeed in putting themselves beyond the reach of the sympathy of their fellows, and it is this kind of conduct that causes the decay of nations. A neighbor who feels that he is better than you, will not be called promptly by you when his house is on fire, or being deprived by thieves at night and you should be passing on a larger scale of proscription. In case of trouble with the foreign forces they will give courage and succer much quicker to the enemy abroad than to the enemy at home. It is a dangerous proposition, this segregation, and I should think that harm and ruin it would entail upon the minority of the Caucasian race, if all of the brown or colored races, where How Much Should You Spend For a Funeral?

Every dollar of the company's capital is owned by Colored people. The 250 shares increase will be placed on the market at an early date. The company has begun making farm loans in the states where it operates and will do likewise in the states it is to enter soon. The total assets of the company are $105,906.01. The company has two million dollars insurance in force, with invested reserves amounting to $51,779.46 and cash balance in banks of $20,154.65. The total income for the year was $76,484.75, out of which the company saved $23,586.49. It has paid to policyholders, since organization, $20,464.95, and to Colored physicians, for making examinations, $18,842.38. It operates in seven states, maintains twelve branch offices and employs over one hundred people to whom it paid in commissions and salaries during the year, $81,152.15. A recent organization by the insurance department as of December 31, 1915, showed the company to be in excellent condition. they are in control, would enact and enforce laws such as you are to vote on in your city. However, the same brown races will one day resent these laws and proscriptions, and, like the Minstistppi, will overflow the confines of its levee dike and spread ruin and devastation to those who live in the route of its path and natural routes. The rights of a man, like the rights of nature, are natural, and cannot successfully be alienated permanently. Let St. Louis and Missouri beware. jee nt ae i li sears = Mrs. (94.79.

THEATRES GOOD VAUDEVILLE SHOW AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON A week of high class vaudeville is the current Booker Washington Theater offering. The program is pleasing crowded houses nightly. Sara Green Byrd, a prima dona soprano, is rendering three excellent numbers in most approved fashion. Johnson and Baylor in a song and dance act are pleasing nicely. The four Cycling Comiques, a white quartette of acrobatic funsters keep the audience in an uproar throughout their appearance. They seem to ride everything that can roll. Fred Rogers, an eccentric buck and wing dancer, with a string of humorous jokes, closes the show in a storm of applause. The show is up to the average of vaudeville bills and is being highly praised. Eloise Johnson was unable to fill her engagement with Blanche Young, at the Booker Washington this week, on account of sickness. The act was canceled: WHITMAN SISTERS AND CO. COM ING NEXT WEEK the famous Whitman Sisters and their company of ten people will be at the Booker Washington Theater next week, beginning Monday night. The sisters, Mabel, Essie, Alberta and Baby Alice, are well-known and favorites here. The supporting company is composed of all stars. They have toured the principal cities in the United States and are a sensation everywhere. They offer a high class show of songs, dances and specialties, have beautiful costumes and guarantee a laugh every minute. On account of the big crowds expected it would be well for the patrons to know the hours the performances will begin. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Pictures until first performance, 7:30. Second performance 9 o'clock. Third performance, 10:30. Matinee Sunday. All shows complete, go early and get a good seat. The Smith-Bright Players are showing in East St. Louis this week. Coming soon to the Comet Theater, "Salvation Nell, in the 15th Commandment, 'Thou Shall Not Kill.'" Bert Williams, the premier Colored comedian, is one of the leading characters in Ziegfield Follies, at the Olympic this week. SPECIAL PICTURE AT THE COMET ODEON "After the Ball," a special photo-play adapted from the famous song by that name, will be shown at the Comet Odeon, next Tuesday, February 8. It is a pathetic tale of love, negligence and tragedy and should be seen. Several hundred Argus readers were disappointed this week on account of an error in the date of "The Stain," which was shown at the Comet Feb. 1. Our notice gave Feb. 2 as the date. We apologize.

He will practically be the business head of the Browns with almost absolute authority. He is very popular with the colored as well as white fans. He lectured to the colored Y. M. C. A. several months ago and made a decided impression. His friends are glad to learn that the recent "peace treaty" did not leave him out in the cold. ST.

AND EFFIE SHANNON e Photo Play, THE BALL" TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8 MANAGER RICKEY, COACHING LEY RICKEY President of the St. Louis Browns Handy are with the Breakers. The first game between the two teams was played at Palm Beach January 25. The Breakers won, 1 run, 2 hits, 1 error to no runs, 3 hits, 3 errors. The Breakers triumphed again on the 28th, 4-8-1 to 2-5. The St. Louis boys are playing sensational ball. Jorden Coller, a white bachelor timner in Fayette, Mo., died recently leaving $500 to the St. Paul's Methodist Church, Colored; and the balance of his money, $15,000, to the city for a city hall and fire engine house. GATES AND MANUEL Undertowns 4107 Finney Ave Phones, DeL. 922; Lakes 500 Many persons are under the impression that the city supplies all the needs of the inmates of this institution and consequently often refuses to give donations of clothing and delicacies such as sugar, tobacco, cake, etc. The city supplies all the needs of the permanently confined aged and infirm women and men, but the above mentioned articles are not furnished them. We are grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Jones, who have been coming to us since 1913, and have not failed to come every second and fourth Sunday since they were appointed missionary workers by Rev. Mason, rector of All Saints Episcopal Church. A few Sundays ago Dr. Peck, pastor of St. James Church, was with us and made a few remarks. Also Miss Storey sang several solos. Mrs. Smith, Misa Burell, Prof. T. Tyler and W. A. Powers are other visitors who have come to us at different times. We highly appreciate such visits at all times. Our church is moving rapidly to the front, all departments are thoroughly organized and at work. Sister, Ella Taylor, of Chesterfield united with us last Sunday and placed her children in the Sunday-school. Rev. Phillips, of Edwardsville, Ill., worshiped with us last Sunday and spoke words of cheer to us and predicted great success for the church under the able and efficient leadership of Dr. Cole. Our pipe organ campaign is now on in dead earnest, the members and friends pledged $250.00 on it to be paid on or before March 31st, and still the pledges are increasing. Rev. John K. Parker, of Pleasant Green Baptist Church will come to our rescue Tuesday night, March 2, and with the assistance of that great pastor and congregation we hope to wipe out the organ debt. With the aid of God, friends and the churches of St. Louis, we hope to pay every debt we owe by June 1. We thank our friends for the assistance given us in saving our beautiful pews.

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 researches, schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It is as if his knowledge must come from that ours world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know.

You are not only assisting to build up a Negro Enterprise and help provide future employment for Negro young men and women, but you assure yourself careful and honest attention by one who is interested in you and wishes to see you well treated and always satisfied. And better yet, you get the advantage of high quality and low prices. When I sell you a piano I expect to make a booster of A. B. you, naturally I am as interested as you in your purchase. I have the goods, real high class goods. My prices and inducements are so tempting you can not fall to take advantage of them. Think of this: We have about forty pianes in our headquarters that I am going to sell at $100 less than their real value.
