St. Louis Argus

WILL NOT SUBMIT TO THE SEGREGATION LAW Negroes Determined To Fight Until Unjust Ordinances Are Wiped Off The City Statutes. Republican Leaders Held Accountable. Committee's Money Spurned. Ministers Disagree. One Faction Decides To Employ Lawyer and Make Own Test. Two Suits Probable. Nothing which has occurred in St. Louis heretofore has stirred the colored people of this city like the passage of the segregation ordinance. In every home, at all gatherings, on the street corners and in the street cars, in fact wherever two or more negroes meet together, the chief topic of conversation is the passage of this unjust law. All sorts of opinions have been expressed. All agree that the vote was dominated by prejudice and many bitter things are being said. All are determined to oppose the enforcement of the law at every turn. Those who think the negroes of St. Louis will forget are doomed to disappointment. The negro will not only forget, but he will remember when remembering means throwing himself against those who voted to segregate him and helping those who helped him. PEEL THAT REPUBLICANS RE. there were nothing being done along the legal lines. I should be the first to say go. But in the face of circumstances I do not think it is a wise step to take. There has been much talk of graft on the part of the ministers who have been so persistent in this movement, and if we insist on taking money and hiring lawyers, gentlemen, we will never be able to explain to the public and it will put us in an embarrassing position." Rev. Geo. E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist church, stated that in view of the statements made by Dr. Caston he thought best that the ministers should not go further at this time, saying that most of our churches had large debts and the people were already burdened financially. He said that all he wanted was that the thing be done, and if the N. A. A. C. P. and the committee of one hundred would TRAYED THEM There is a general feeling that the Republican leaders in St. Louis betrayed the negro on Feb. 29. Not even the organization's machine vote was cast against-segregation. A few leaders did their duty and these are being personally thanked, but for the others, there are strong words of condemnation on every side. After supporting the party for fifty years, to be "double crossed" was a hard pill to swallow and it has left a bad taste. of from twenty to forty thousand, the plea of the leaders that they were unable to control the vote or influence the people to vote against segregation does not weigh well with the negroes. Unless every sign fails there is hard sledding ahead for these party leaders. City Committee Offers Money The Republican City Committee has offered money to help in the legal fight, but this has met with consistent refusal on the part of the negroes. The N. A. A. C. P. and the Minister's Alliance have turned it down. Now some city employees are circulating a petition "thanking the committee for standing by the negro." It is meeting with a cold reception. It is generally condemned and the whole scheme characterized as an outrage and adding insult to injury. The negroes are giving their own money, determined to owe nothing whatever to those who betrayed them. They will never submit to the enforcement of the ordinances and will not let up fighting until they are wiped off the city statutes. The gallant fight which the Local Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People waged against segregation will be continued, with unabated energy. The officials and the attorneys of the Association are making preparations to carry the ordinances into court as soon as possible to test their constitutionality. They will work in conjunction with the (white) citizens committee of one-hundred which did so much to help in the campaign. Both white and colored attorneys will have charge of the cases. Ministers Disagree After a wrangle among themselves for nearly two hours, the ministers finally disagreed on the proposition of going into court. This came about after Dr. J. T. Caston, pastor of the Fifth Baptist church, reported that the N. A. A. C. P., together with a committee of one hundred of the most influential white men in the city including fifteen of the best lawyers, were ready to take the case into court and have the law tested at once, not so much of the colored people, but in the defense of right and justice. He also stated that this committee was willing to bear the expense of the suit. Warna Ministers of Craft Dr. Caston said: "I warn you mer to not be too hasty in this matter. If there were nothing being done along the legal lines, I should be the first to say go. But in the face of circumstances I do not think it is a wise step to take. There has been much talk of graft on the part of the ministers who have been so persistent in this movement, and if we insist on taking money and hiring lawyers, gentlemen, we will never be able to explain to the public and it will put us in an embarrassing position." Rev. Geo. E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist church, stated that in view of the statements made by Dr. Caston he thought best that the ministers should not go further at this time, saying that most of our churches had large debts and the people were already burdened financially. He said that all he wanted was that the thing be done, and if the N. A. A. C. B. and the committee of one hundred would do it he was satisfied. Rev. Shaw, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church said that our people were not poor and that he had little faith in free doing. Dr. Brooks pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church said that the ministers should go ahead and take the lead, saying it was easy to get the money from the people to pay the lawyers' fee. Rev. Abbott, pastor of Union Memorial M. E. church, stated that Mr. Geo. B. Webster and Mr. L. Lionberger had been employed by the ministers to handle their suit and that five hundred dollars was needed at once. Two hundred and seventy-five dollars was subscribed. Dr. Brooks for St. Paul $75.00; Dr. Abbott, for Union M. E., $75.00; Dr. Shaw for Metropolitan, $75.00; Rev. Donavant, for Leonard Ave., Baptist, $25.00; Mr. L. S. Williams, undertaker, $25.00. As the case now stands it seems that two suits are to be filed against the segregation ordinances. There will be a meeting of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on Saturday, March 18. Watch the Argus for the place where the meeting is to be held. REPUBLICANS ELECT DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION St. Louis Republicans met in the headquarters of the various wards Monday night and selected 247 delegates to the state convention which will be held at Excelsior Springs, April 6. About two dozen Negroes were selected. The twenty-third ward elected contesting delegations. The first meeting, with James N. McKelvey, chairman, named Mr. McKelvey, Howard Sidener, W. H. Wellpot, C. A. Windmueller, Wm. A. Haller, Sam Lears and Louis Everding, white; Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., Sam Hill and John H. Harris, Colored. The second meeting named Edw. Neubert, W. H. Wellpot, Gco. C. Stoll, Sam Lears and Wm. Haller, white; Homer G. Phillips, Wm. Hollman, Wm. L. Hussey, Dr. J. T. Cotton and Dr. T. A. Curtis, Colored. Mr. Hollmon was chairman of the contesting which was held on protest, claiming that the first was called and adjourned before the scheduled tour, to avoid opposition. Both meetings were held in Stumpf's Hall, the second starting soon after 8 o'clock. The hall was packed. The state convention will decide which delegation should be seated. Other Negroes elected in other wards vere: Fifth ward—Allan Harris. Sixth —Wm. H. Fields, Wm. H. King, Cline 7. Smith, Geo. L. Vaughn. Twelfth— Edward Staten. Sixteenth—Karry Denny, D. W. Green, E. R. Stockard, Jas. W. Digga. Seventeenth—Aaron Lloyd, Ernest Patillo, J. H. Jones, John Jawalh Waltha Moors. Twenty-Second CHAS. A. PITMAN, Real Estate Dealer, Who was the Most Conspicuous Character in the Anti-Begregation Campaign, Vice-President of the local branch N. A. A. C. P., and Chairman for the Executive Committee. —Wm. Stakeley, Alfred Wilson. Twenty-sixth—King Cannon. Twenty-seventh—Crittenden Clark. Poro College In order to carry on a business successfully, where more than one person is concerned, co-operation is needed. This thought was plainly demonstrated in the well attendance of the "Poro" agents of this city, at their regular monthly meeting; Monday evening, March 6. After the transaction of business, a luncheon was served, and the meeting adjourned. Each left with the feeling that with all of one accord, we can make a leap in success this year. All agents are requested to be present at the next meeting, Monday, April 3, before which time, each will receive notice. CANDY PULLING There will be an old-fashioned candy pulling given by the Ladies' Improvement Club of St. Paul Chapel at the church, Friday evening, March 17. Admission 10 cents, including a plate of candy. Lila Covington, president; Elnora Barber, secretary, Rev. W. S. Brooks, pastor. H. A. SMITH'S NEW DEPARTMENTS Owing to the demand of the ladies, H. A.

Johnson, the premier dancer of St. Louis, made another big hit at the Modern Woodmen Hall at Keokuk, Iowa, in an exhibition. He held a large audience of Colored and white people spellbound for an hour or more. The music was furnished for the occasion by the Agne Orchestra (white). Mr. Johnson executed a number of intricate steps with local young ladies. In the first number Mr. Johnson was assisted by Miss Marie Lewin. They danced the mariee. Miss Alice Buckner was his partner for the Mexican fox trot and Miss Iona Hawkins in the dream-dip waltz. The open hesitation was danced with Miss Ruth E. Bland as his partner. The dancers were all liberally applauded. The grand march was one of the best that had been seen in the state of Iowa. Mr. Johnson comes from St. Louis and left today to go on a dancing circuit for several weeks. He will return to this city in May with his professional partner. He has organized two classes in this city, one being white and the other Colored. Mr. Johnson is in St. Louis with 25 new dances to demonstrate en route to Hot Springs, Ark., and several cities in Texas. We wish him success—From the Gate City News. BROADWAY BAND 14TH REGT.

Lewis, of Texas, the great gospel singer, conducted the singing. The two weeks' stay of Mr. Lewis at Lane Tabernacle clearly demonstrated his ability as one of the greatest gospel singers the race has ever produced. Mr. Lewis first assisted in a great revival at Central Baptist Church, next he conducted a series of meetings at Metropolitan Zion Church, thence to Union Memorial, where a great series of meetings were held. He then went to St. Paul A. M. E. Church, where his services were greatly felt. From there he went to Lane Tabernacle where he made his fifth round the greatest of all in St. Louis. One hundred and five persons were added to the church. Mr. Lewis will go next to East St. Louis, to assist Rev. J. A. Winters, of Chicago, in a ten days' meeting at the C. M. E. Church. Rev. S. B.

"Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy-five pages, $2.00. All cloth-bound. These books treat of the sex of the Bible, and show that the Bible is the spirit of spirit and that the sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the sex, and that sex-lust was the original sin and cause of death. They are the scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written. They are daily going to the great thinkers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible, by Sidney C. United Bates. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable that human knowledge of the ideas presented. For ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tappa books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible. His Republic may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die." "Mr. Tappa works on the Bible will do more to empty our Jails, insane institutions and hospitals than any other idea that has ever been given to the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race. He has indeed produced a world idea in the civilized world." We have arrived all all orders I make of books this paper and books you wish sent to you at W. A. Thompson, M.D. W. A. Swan, M.D. R. M.

THE REAL ESTATE MAN'S DREAM Today the real estate man and property owner awakes from a dream, a veritable nightmare, to find that he has been handed a "gold brick." He imagined he saw a parkway which had driven thousands of Negroes from their homes to new habitats. He could see a great barrier, called segregation, that impeded their way and beheld them in confusion fleeing to the dilapidated, deserted houses he had provided as their traps. But, alas, he has been deceived! His allies, Mr. Welfare & Co., have flown. He awakes to find not only the great mass of property still not in demand, but much more that must by the new law remain unoccupied. Segregation will give St. Louis a bad name. It places a curse upon the city; the same curse that fell like a pall over Richmond, Charleston, New Orleans and Baltimore and stopped them in their rush for commercial and industrial supremacy. It places St. Louis alongside of Bagdad, Bombay and Calcutta. It gives us a supreme place among the segregated cities of Russia. St. Louis, already, is noted for its innumerable "For Rent" placards. The number will increase, property will depreciate in value, taxes will continue and the property owners will awaken to the fact that segregation is not the first fraud that the real estate men have played upon St. Louis. TO THE POLITICAL CONFIDENCE MEN The Negroes who are leading in the fight for justice and right are a different class from the type that have been selling their souls for gold. Money cannot buy a man's honor. A million population, or "Must We Hesitate?" The Negro has no ax to grind; he has it already sharpened. St. Louis has turned her back "To the Front." The pace was too hot for her class. It will take something besides money to repair the wrong our so-called friends did to us; we must have retribution. We will never submit to the enforcement of the Segregation laws. We will fight on, harder and harder, until this injustice is removed. We will lay aside every weight and selfish longing, every personal ambition, and make for the goal. The action of the Republican City Committee in offering to pay what is called "hush money" to the Negro after laying down at the recent segregation election reminds us of offering candy to a baby after a spanking. We are no longer babies. Not your dollars, but fair play is what we want. Mary C. At the Lenten services, Wednesday night, March 15, Rev. Edward Duckworth, rector of the Church of the Redeemer, will be the speaker. Rev. Charles F. Blaindell, Rector of the Church of St. Philip the Apostle, will preach Friday night, March 17th. All, regardless of their church connections, are invited to be present, as they will be interested in these services. A large congregation attended the evening service Ash Wednesday. Bishop Tuttle was the speaker and delivered an impressive sermon. In his introductory remarks he complimented the children of the Sunday school on their excellent missionary work and the church on its promptness in fulfilling all general obligations.

This was their first large affair and it was marked with much brilliance. The elaborate and beautiful decorations were turned out in purple and white silk fabrics. vala with floral effects.

We wish to thank our many relatives and friends for the kindness shown us during the sad bereavement which came to us in the sudden death of our dearly beloved mother, Mrs. Peachie Littleton, who joined the First Baptist Church more than 36 years ago. Especially we wish to thank the following ministers, Revs. S. J. Patterson, David Johnson, J. L. Cohron, E. C. Cole, Dr. W. L. Perry and Sister A. H. Gaines, president of the B. W. H. F. M. and Ed: Convention, who made eulogistic remarks, and Rev. R. H. Cole, pastor of the First Baptist Church, who preached the sermon. We further tender our sincere thanks for the beautiful resolutions of condolence, all of which so clearly portrayed the life of our dear, departed mother, and also for the beautiful and abundant floral tributes. We desire to commend the artistic arrangement of the designs made by Rev. H. H. Harris, and the efficient service of Mr. A. Russell, the undertaker, also the sympathy shown us by the Sons and Daughters of Faith and the A. U. K. and D. of A. We are very grateful to the First Baptist Church for their kindness and for the beautiful music furnished by the choir. From the bereaved family, (signed) Mrs. S. F. Childs, Daughter. In loving memory of my beloved husband and dear father, Ruben McCoy, who departed this life March 9, two years ago. Gone but not forgotten.

SMITH Mr. Smith denies that he voted for segregation as was rumored, in his neighborhood, and states that he is still for his race. He advises his people to take fresh courage and look to the blood of their race to lead us to success. Mr. Smith was the first man to sell the St. Louis Argus on the streets of this city. He is a man of sterling qualities and is uncompromising on the race question. He is generally known as "Blood" because he believes that "blessed is he who has Negro blood in his veins." And says we should teach the youths to love the race that God has seen fit to identify us with. Not only does he sell the Argus each week, but he also handles a large number of other periodicals published in the interest of the Negro race. He is strong in his advocacy for race patronage in business, and in so doing he has done much good in a commercial way for the Negro of this city. S. Y. W. C. A.

In many of the hotels the correspondents were berded in one room at night, while Morris had a suite all to himself. Then again Morris was on friendly if not intimate terms with high officials and military commanders, while the other boys had to scrape around as best they could. It was a mystery to the other scribes to understand how it was that Morris caught on so easily, got the best of everything and went hobnobbing with royalty, until one day a petty officer approached one of the newspaper men and said: "Will you kindly tell-me what state it is that Mr. Morris is governor of"' The above calls to mind the fact that years ago George William Curtis, editor of the Easy Chair in Harper's Magazine, was in Oberammergan to witness the "Passion Play." Unfortunately he was late in arriving at the open air theater and all the seats except those reserved for high officials were gone. The editor was in despair until he had a bright idea. Approaching one of the high officials he said: "Has the duke of Hesse Castle or the duke of Cambridge arrived yet?"" "I think not," the official replied. "Too bad," the editor remarked, "but when they arrive would you mind telling them that Mr. —, one of the electors of New York, is waiting for them!" The official bowed and said: "Certainly, sir, but would you not prefer to wait for them inside?" Mr. Curtis agreed that this arrangement was much to be preferred to the one of standing outside, so he permitted the official to escort him down front and seat him near a bunch of princes, dukes and other assorted specimens of royalty. "It's a great thing to be an elector of New York," the editor said in telling the story.—From the Editor and Publisher. THE LADY HOW ARE YOUR EYES? You cannot afford to neglect your eyes.

Faith Defined, v. 1. This is. per haps the most quoted and succinct definition we have of faith. What fol- lows {s but the illustration and ap plication of the fact, Faith is an “as- surance” (R. V.). The ground of this ‘asurance and conviction is the word of God. (See, Rom. 10:17). The only sure ground for a dynamic and intel- Higant faith is God's word: put to the acid test of experience it never fails, .. Ie Faith ‘Declared, vv. 4, 5.

Noah reckoning the invisible as tam gible, continued to build tis ark and became blessing to the race. (a) Abraham and Sarah (8-12). Not knowing whither they went, by faith these lonely pilgrims unerringly fol- lowed an invisifle God to an unseen country; but a faith greater still led them to “dwell tn the land” and not possess tt (v. 10). Their faith re- feemed them from the mere emigrant character, They “looked for a city, which bad foundations, whose builder and maker 1s God.” (e) Moses (23-28) showed his faith by a right choice. He weighed values and had “respect unto the recompense ot reward.” His faith “endured, as teeing him who is invisible.” Moses saw by faith the “reproach of Christ,” that which Christ suffered for the re- demption of the world, as being of “greater riches than the treasires of Egypt.” ‘These, and others not mentioned, are summarized by their having a0 complished “ten different things (82 40). ‘They perfornied .great deeds of heroism (8234); they endured great muffering and persecution (35,36). All of this suffering was to issue in a Breater reward with the glory, that was to come (Rom. 8:18, II Cor. 4:17, 18). All these men of faith “obthined & good report.” ae Ul. Faith Demanded, 12: 1,2 The Holy Spirit has given us this long lst of heroes as an exhortation to stir up those living to the performance of their duty. The roll call of triumphant heroes is not yet completed. All these menttoned are witnesses, not anlock- ers. These are they who have test! fled to God and to the truth of his word. In the light of this testimony and on the same ground of their tee timony, we are to do several things: 1. To “lay aside every weight.” No runner carries any weight beyond that which tg ‘needful. Some things are burdens that are not neceasarily sins. Bvery such thing hinders our running ‘and should be laid aside. 2. “The sin that doth 20 easily beset us” Literally, that wrap themselves about us as an ill-fitting garment, and which trip or impede the runner's progress. These sins (not ‘sin) are those little devil habits and practices which must, for that reason, be laid aside. ‘& “Run with patience the race set ‘Defore us.” Thete must be steadfast ness and endurance, If church niom- ders were as faithful in following up aa the average business house is, we ‘wold have less of lapsed church mem- ess and fewer boys and girls who @rift away from the Sunday school. ~ 4. “Looking unto Jesus.” This is the Keynote to this entire epistle and to this category of heroes.

Once we get our eyes off bim ‘We pill stumble and fall in the race. ip with Sed) wet ettre him, he or ‘tthip with God) set befere him, be en- dered the cross” (Phil, 2:¢8), If we ‘would win the race, we must despise the sin which lies in the path of abso Tate loyaity te God. ‘The work ot Jesus and fhe bestow Za~ abgryen pled tye us, ts the source, the asthor of (Oar mith. ‘There is far too much easy going ‘Carletianity spd too little self-cur ‘ender and almost no privation in our anaes Samatiyh snore e “ fas Abraham’s Supreme Trial pee ot Moody * en ae aoinete of Chines pIBXT-God did tempt Abrahem—Gen: God canact ‘be tempted with evil, and neither does he tempt any man to do evil, Yet God tries his ‘own from time to time to strengthen their (eae faith and so give Pan them more of him- ees self and Jead them ~ } into deeper and oo richer — spiritual 4 | experience: He oa expressly says in ma the book of James, ae “Bleased, is the Br: } man that endur b gg eth _ temptation, a for when/ he is tried he pall Te celve the/crown of lite.” Abraham essa oe Us SN y aoe 2 ba ® ff oe ) re , for waen ae 6 tried ho pal Te ceive the/crown of Ufe.” Abraham had been tried by the Lord many times, but this last supreme trial has some characteristics which are com- mon to many Christians’ experience. Unexpected. Bi, It te sald that “attor these things God did try Abraham” After a life Journey of nearly one hundred and twenty-five years. After all the experi- ences which were packed {nto his life, After the birth and coming to age of the promised son. At a time when it ‘would perhaps seem as though the life was completed and only needing the final touch of being taken away from the scene around bim. He may have felt that now he could rest a little in his old age*and, like Job, “die in his nest.” But there never is perfection im this life and therefore the training is never done. Today’s goal ia but the starting point for tomorrow. Many of the Lord's peopie corhe to-a time-when they feel as though their life were com- plete. They have come over rough paths and hard ways. ‘Trying expert- ences have been met, but it seems that these are all in the past and now, hav- ing passed them, they settle down as though there were an end of the test- inge and they-had-come to rest. But suddeiily, in sweeps & harder test than any before. It comes all unexpected. Or they think they have conquered some part of the old nature and need not watch {t longer. Then one day there comes the fierce attack, unlooked for and unexpected. But blessed is the man that endureth the unexpected temptation, © Unexplained. As fir as the record goes, the Lord gave Abraham no word of explanation concerning the offering up of Isaac. God simply told him to take his son whom he loved and offer him a burnt offering. Abraham wag human, like ourselves, so we can ‘readily believe that into his mind, as so often into our own, there sprang the question, Why? ‘We destre to know so much of the Lord's doings before we are ready to “obey him. What a mark of unconscious unbelief it is when we try to inquire as to why God does this or that in his dealings with us. He applies the test and then, before we meet ft, we want to know the “why” for it. We show so much of distrust when hanging back from doing as he says because we do not understand. But God's tridls are not all explained. He seldom lets us know why, for it we knew there would be Iittle opportunity for faith to ope rate, Unreasonable. God had promised Abrabam that in Isaac should his seed be called. Isasc was the heir of the promises. Through the years of Isaac's, youth Abraham ney that nothing could possibly take away Isaac's life. In Isaac was cen tered the promise of a great multitude. It anything happened to him, there- fore, the promise of God would be of none effect. We can imagine Abraham saying, when sickness or accident threatened the life of his boy, that it was impossible for him to, die or be Killed, for how then could the promise be fulfilled? How unreasonable then {t seemed for God to tell him to take boy and slay him. Would he not DPtempea to ask, “How then will the promise be kept?” Would not the tempter suggest that either God had forgotten his word or he was making a mistake, or that Abraham had mis- understood the message? How often we are tempted to question the reason- ableness of God's settee ee again, if we understood all that ‘was doing, the walk by faith would be changed to sight. God wants not ree- soners.but believers. And blessed is the -man who endureth temptation even when ft seems unreasonable. And Abraham met this test with su preme faith. The book of Hebrews de clares it was by faith he obeyed. His obedience wae prompt, unquestioning. ‘unoomplaining, deliberate. He did not hesitate to obey, there was no inquir- fag tuto the reason for offering Isaac, strange as.such a thing would seem. He ¢id not walt to see how God would fulfil his promise, but by faith he of fered up Isaac, of whom it was sail, ‘that “In Isaac shall thy seed be called.” ‘The secret of such faith leading to such obedience ie found when the test thas beech met and the victory won. ‘God said to Abraham, “Lay not thine ‘atid upon the lad; for now I know that thou fearest God, aeeIng thou hast ‘Rot withheld thy son from me” The fear of the Lend is the secret of obedt ee oe komad er te ae ee eee : ree Church Directéry. a Gee DP PEREEPELEEEEEE ERE EEE BERD “THE ST.

Everybody Should See It. 5 Cents ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. THEATRES THEATRES GOOD SHOW AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER The Booker Washington theater which opened the first half of the week with two white and two colored acts, due in part, to the necessity of substituting Bella Belmont, a very creditable white contralto, for Josephine Tobias, at the last minute. Miss Tobias appeared at rehearsal Monday and objected to being placed first on the bill: Her act was cancelled. Chess Kruber, the other white performer, is a comic impersonator and parodist. He scored nicely and was generously applauded. White and Morris, "The Hot Dog Men," are good, clean, classy comedians. They have excellent voices and are entertaining dancers and talkers. Their calliope imitation is a winner. They will remain through the week. Tim and Gertie Moore are doing a singing and dancing act, spiced with Tim's characteristic comedy. As usual, he keeps his audience in a fit of laughter. Mrs. Moore is a capable assistant and dances well. Second Half The new acts for the second half of the week consists of Julia Densmore, a lively singing comedienne, and Lew Howard, a lightning, crayon artist. Both are white acts and are well up to the Booker Washington standard. Tim Moore has added his Uncle Tom's Cabin burlesque, which is the best comedy stunt that has ever been seen on the B. W. stage. Johnny Woods, and Little Henry, will be back to the Booker Wasan-ton Theater next week to prove that he is not dead. He will receive the biggest reception Monday night that ever a performer was honored by a B. W. audience. NEXT WEEK AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER Beginning Monday, March 13. ED.

Although first position on a bill is not the most desirable place, there are always conditions and circumstances to be considered. We would have appreciated Miss Tobias no matter what her position on the bill. We have received a communication from Alonzo Moore, the magician, who confirms the accident, published in the Argus recently, but states that he escaped with his life. The fact that he walked more than a mile half frozen, leaving his baggage, caused rumors that he had been deceived under ice, to be circulated by well meaning friends.

HEARTS IN EXILE Clara Kimball Young, in "Hearts in Exile," a Shuball feature in five acts, will be the special photoplay at the Comet Odison, next Tuesday, March 14. It is a Russian play with a desperate love plot replete with thrills and heart throbs. It is a true recital of prison life in Siberia, official villainy and woman's devotion. Be sure to see it.

Every bridal carriage is a reminder that the ancient fallacy that two can live as cheaply as one still gets 'em. Doctor Sargent of Harvard says women make just as good soldiers as men. They certainly do like to charge tbings. Notwithstanding the war news some of the old standbys are reappearing. Another sure cure for cancer has been announced. Somebody asks: "When is a woman old?" We're willing to leave it to some dear, sunshine soul who is past seventy-five. The man who buys second-hand automobile tires and starts out on a thousand-mile trip qualifies for the Optimists' club. St. Louis astronomers report seeing new sun spots. Maybe European powers really at last are finding their coveted places in the sun. The command to increase and multiply is a back number. Now the increase is brought about by the divorce judge, who makes two of one. Whether our speech is to serve us as a mitten or as a glove depends on the pains we are willing to take with distinctions like those in "should" and "would," "what" and "that," "the boy's" and "of the boy," a writer in the Boston Herald observes. For our thought, both in seeing things and in mulling them over, is far subtler and more finely shaded than the corresponding string of words that we address to our friends; in such expression as we can reach, we depend on the trim distinction of our grammar as directly as the typist on the distinctions of her keyboard or the wood carver on the differences of his gouges. To lose from good usage even one well-based grammatical distinction is to lessen by just that amount our means of matching our thoughts with our words. Unhappily our careless use of the mother tongue is confusing forms and dropping distinction that even colloquial-wording can ill spare. Our enormous vocabulary grows faster than the dictionary makers can issue appendix and new edition; but our grammar, like an aging tree, is decaying at the tips. Take for instance "would" and "should." Here in New England the distinction lingers. In the middle West and beyond "would" has hopelessly merged with its own service that of "should." The smoother phrases "I would like" and "I would be grateful" already appear in formal writing, and only the verbalist is vexed. The distinction of "who" from "that," for all the good examples in the talk of street and shop and in the common version of the Bible, is as good as gone from our modern books. In "a running fight," "by running a race," "I saw John running," "I saw John's running," how many of us can tell apart, as adjective, infinitive, participle and verbal noun, those four "runnings"? Is it any way that we are letting slip the good distinction between "He didn't like Tom interrupting" and "He didn't like Tom's interrupting"? A graver loss has come of our laziness with subjunctive forms. Our school children think us quaint when we say, "If he were" or "Wherever it be." Shades of Demosthenes and Cicero! What could even the orators have done had Rome and Athens dulled their stilttoilek subjunctives into blunt indicatives? Language is the world's oldest wonder. No one really knows how it began or how it attained its structural perfection. The Greek grammar was finer than the Roman; the Sanskrit finer than the Greek. Language is the one taking argument for a prehistoric golden age. Its laws have been studied and named and marveled at by men like Grimm and Mueller and our own Whitney as if human speech had some mysterious life of its own. The least the rest of us can do is to pass it to the next generation with the least possible damage from our own using. Specter of Pauperiam. Do you know that in the United States 66 out of every 100 people that die leave no estate whatever? Do you know that out of the remaining 34 only nine leave estates larger than $5,000, and that the average of the balance of 25 is a little less than $1,300? Do you know that at the age of sixty-five, 97 out of every 100 in America are partly or wholly dependent upon relatives, friends or the public for their daily bread, for their clothing and for a roof under which to sleep? We all know that the one safeguard against pauperism by the countries of Europe has been thrift. S. W. Strauss of Chicago writes in Leall's France, Germany, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland have been the leaders in thrift. Do you realize that according to recent government statistics, 98 per cent of the American people are living from day to day on their wages, and that a loss of employment would mean pauperism for all but two per cent of us? They Could Get Along. Hank O'Day, the old National league umpire, was working a game single-handed one afternoon, his partner having met with some accident. It was very warm, the players were unusually quarrelsome, and Hank was quite pepish. "Hey, Hank!" yelled Heine Zimmerman from the third base coaching line, as a batman hit a foul up against a concrete wall, and the ball was tossed back into the diamond, "take a look at that ball, Hank! Take a look at it!" "What for?" demanded Hank, surly. "Why, it may a-got cracked against 'st wall," said Heime. "We can't play with a cracked ball." "Well, I dunno," said Hank. "We're going along pretty well with a lot of cracked ball players." PROF. W. L. GLADSTONE, The Old Reliable CLAIRVOYANT South East Cor. SARAH & FINNEY AVES.

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, which all would know, yet longeing, cannot know.
