The St. Louis Argus REPUBLICANS FAIL TO ELECT NEGRO DELEGATE Zachritz Beats Homer G. Phillips by Nine Votes at 12th Congressional Convention. Dyer Gets Big Vote. Hutchin Inge and Dr. Phillips Elect- ed Alternates. Vaughn Makes Strong Plea The Twelfth Congressional District Republican Convention was the scene of a lively and determined fight. last Monday night. The Negroes of the district, who number more than half of the party vote, the district, made demand upon the city leaders that a Negro be sent as one of the delegates to the Republican National Convention, which meets at Chicago in June. The tilt occurred over the refusal of party leaders to accede to this demand. Sixteen of the eighteen Negro delegates to the convention met in a caucus at 1441 Chouteau Avenue, a few minutes before the convention, assembled and decided to support Attorney Homer G. Phillips for delegate to the Chicago Convention. The two Negro delegates who did not participate in the caucus were from the 23rd ward over which Jas. N. McKelvey is committee man. Attorney George L. Vaughn was chosen floor leader by the caucus, and placed Phillips in nomination in a ringing speech in which he told of the Negro's loyalty to the party and made a demand for participation in party councils.

FUND NOW $7500 Mr. Coggins Will Address Men, Sunday at the Union Memorial Church Seven thousand five hundred dollars is now the total of the Building Fund of the Colored Branch Y. M. C. A.; $7,500 in hard, cold cash has been laid down for this cause. This means that day by day the subscribers are adding their subscriptions to this fund. It is evident that the subscribers have caught the spirit and believe that the Association should be built at the earliest possible moment. No more conclusive proof of the interest of the people of St. Louis in the Y. M. C. A. can be needed than the way in which the subscriptions are coming in. Last Sunday's Meeting of the Y. M. C. A., which was held at St. Paul's Church, was the best yet. In attendance, it far exceeded any other meeting of the Association and the speeches of Dr. Day and Bishop Bristol were inspiring. "Wonderful" is the only word which describes the meeting of last Sunday. The singing of Miss Jackson, and the playing of the Battle Axe Cadet Band added to the charm of the meeting. On next Sunday the Y. M. C. A. will hold its meeting at Union Memorial Church, at which time Dr. J. N. C. Coggins will speak. This will be a men's meeting and all men who like to hear straight from the shoulder, heart to heart talk should avail themselves the privilege of being present. Dr. Coggins is the national worker for the Temperance Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His wide experience and intimate acquaintance with the problems that confront men make him especially fitted to bring a message that will be worth while. At a meeting of the Board of Managers, Willis Thompson, a graduate of the Sumner High School, was appointed at the Association. Thompson is a St. Louis boy and for the past year and a half has given service at the Y. M. C. A. while attending the high school. Fisk Jubilee Singers At The Y.W.C.A. Fisk Jubilee Singers will appear at the Y. W. C. A. April 19 at 8 p. m., under the auspices of Metropolitan A. M. E. Hon Church and Wheatley Branch Young Women's Christian Association. Popular admission, 35 cents. Reserved seats, 35 and 30 cents. FAVOR NEGRO WORKMEN IN STEEL PLANT Scullin-Gallagher Steel Plant Employs Hundreds. Wages $2 to $6 per Day. More Men Wanted. The Scullin-Gallagher Steel Plant, Located at 6700 Manchester Ave., employs over 1,200 men and of that number 800 are colored, some of whom have worked there for many years. Unlike many other large industries, this plant has allowed the colored man to advance, and has encouraged him along all lines and in every department. They are in the majority and are getting a stronger hold every day. All kinds of laborers are employed from among the colored race, from the skilled mechanic earning $6.00 a day to the common laborer at $2.00 a day. Such work as crane men, molding, stocking gangs, furnace men and several foremen. Mr. Scullin's Idea Never before has the colored man had an opportunity to enter and learn every department of the work at such plants. But it was 'Mr. Scullin's idea that if colored could be trained to do all kinds of work, it was a guarantee against strikes and "tie ups" of work when in a rush. The colored man can always he depended upon. The European war has helped because many of foreigners have returned to their fatherland with their service and their gold. Every care is provided by the management to see that "Safety First" appliances are used, thus protecting the men against accident, etc. Religious services are being conducted on the ground every Sunday as the men come and while they spend what would otherwise be idle moments. Rev. P. P. Berry has charge. Opportunity is now open to men of the colored race to secure, employment at this great industry at good wages. Apply to foreman. Federation Of Women's Clubs Federation Of Women's Clubs At Union Memorial The City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will hold its quarterly meeting at Union Memorial Church Thursday, April 20, at 3 p.m. All club women are urged to be present Reports of clubs and reports of special work. Business of importance. Let every club come and report. All club presidents are requested to see that their club is represented. Victoria Clay-Haley, President. A. M. Williams, Acting Secretary. At Poro College About 4 o'clock Wednesday evening the door bell of "Poro" College rang, for the admittance of Mr. Joseph H. B. Evans and one of his commercial classes, accompanied by Mrs. Evans. The visit was a most highly appreciated one, and we must say that the class of extremely bright faces, displayed much interest in seeing through the College. Although their visit was doubtless one of schoolwork, from which themes in shorthand were to be written, everyone seemed to enjoy their task and some expressed themselves aloud to this extent. The doors of "Poro" College are ever open to visitors. We are always pleased to show them through, as it is a college founded by one of our people, for the people. We were also delighted to have the following out-of-town guests with us this week: Mr. C. P. Covington, Louisiana, Mo., Mrs. Sarah Covington-Scott, Vandalia, Mo., Miss Estelle Martin, Sedalia, Mo., Mrs. Nellie Lewis and Miss Ruby Martin, both of Hannibal, Mo. As these, with the many others, have accepted our invitation to visit us, we want those who have not, to do so. Remember, "Poro" College, an item of interest, ever open for the inspection of visitors! HOTEL DALE Cape May, N.

APRIL 14. 1916. NEGROES ARE ATTACKED IN U.S. CONGRESS Representative Borland, of Kansas City, Makes Slurring Remarks. Congressman Dyer Resents. Insult to Race. Introduces Letter of Protest From Members of N. A. A. C. P. Representative Borland, of Kansas City, a Democrat, in his elamor to be heard in Congress, has resorted to the Tilman-Vardiman tactics of demagogy speech making. He has fancied ideas that an attack on the Negro will make him famous. Hence, in order to carry a bill to increase the hours of service of certain government employees he points out that there are some Negroes who possibly enjoy short hours in the following language: "There are a number of Negroes in the civil service, and, almost without exception, they are in the purely clerical departments where the seven-hour day prevails and not in the mechanical and technical branches where the eight-hour day is enforced. I am told that among the young Negro couples it is customary for both the husband and wife to take the civil-service examination and secure appointment, if possible, in the same office. As they get to work late in the morning and go home early in the afternoon, it is possible for them to keep house and raise an interesting brood of pickaninnies while drawing two comfortable salaries from the Federal Government. Sometimes the wife only works in the department, and the husband rests at home or devotes his talents to preaching the gospel." Mr. Dyer's Answers Mr. Speaker, I consider such remarks an unjust attack against the Colored people. Mr. Speaker, the Colored race numbers 10,000,000 in the United States. They have done well under all circum- Continued on Page 4 Big Meeting At Denison, Tex. Denison, Texas, April 13.—Special to Argus.—Six hundred people present Wednesday night, Quinn Chapel Church, this city, to greet Hon. Melvin Chisolm, fearless Oklahoma editor who cleaned up the Oklahoma Colored school. The regrets of audience were apparent when Harrison M. Gilliean, vice-president National Negro Press Association, announced with tears in his eyes that Chisolm was again being persecuted and could not be present, having been arrested as he boarded train for Denison. Hon. E. C. Corbet, president, Oklahoma State Bar Association, and one of Chisolm's attorneys, appeared in his stead and spoke entertainingly. Hon. Henry Ellis, formerly of Houston Post, now editor leading white afternoon daily in North Texas, and Col. R. Legate, prominent white banker, spoke from same platform with Judge Corbet, as also did Hen. W. H. King, of Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. King, who is general agent for the Standard Life Insurance Company, the only old line legal reserve insurance company operated and owned by Colored, is visiting the Texas agencies of the company including Dallas, Waco, Taylor, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Before leaving here Mr. King announced that Harrison M. Gilliean, who is accompanying him, has been offered one of the most lucrative positions ever offered a Negro in the south with a guaranteed salary. The Chisolm News Service.

St. Louis Ordinances Will Be Affected by the Decision. Case Here Will Be Heard in Judge Dyer's Court, April 17 Washington, April 9.—The validity of the St. Louis segregation ordinance will depend upon the decision of the United States Supreme Court in a caselast Monday argued involving a similar ordinance in Louisville. The case will be argued by Pendleto Beckley, city attorney for Louisville, who will seek to uphold the law, an Moorfield Storay of Boston will make the principal argument in opposition Similar ordinances in Baltimore, Rielmond and other cities also will depen upon the court's decision in the Louisville case. The Louisville segregation case can before the United States Supreme Court on a writ of error to review a decision by the Kentucky Court of Appeals which held the so-called, segregation ordinance of the city of Louisville to be valid. Upon the filing of the petition in the lower court, the City of Louisville intervened in the case to defend the validity of the ordinance. The counsel for the City of Louisville defend the ordinance in the brief on the ground that it is a legitimate exercise of the police power and that it applies both to white and Negro neighborhoods, that it places no hardship on the Negro, and is not a violation of his civil rights as guaranteed by the federal constitution. St. Louis Case Monday The case effecting the recent segregation laws of this city will come up in Judge Dyer's Court Monday, April 17. It is the general opinion of the leading legal minds, as well as the laymen, that a sweeping decision will declare the ordinances unconstitutional. Court room, third floor, 8th and Olive.

WILSON FREES NEGRO, 39, IN PRISON FOR 23 YEARS Washington, April 4.—George Hardy, a negro who has served twenty-three of his thirty-nine years in Atlanta Pentientiary, was today ordered released by President Wilson. When Hardy was 16 years old, in 1893, he held up a man in this city and gave him a beating, from which he died. Hardy was sentenced to be hanged, but President Cleveland reduced his sentence to life imprisonment because of Hardy's youth. President Wilson today commuted his sentence to expire at once.

Claims Law Bars 90 Per Cent of Population From Renting His Property St. Louis, April 3, 1916. To the Board of Equalization, I find from the assessment in City Block 2830, the lot having a front of 46 feet on the north side of Eller St., by a depth of 135 feet, and having a front of 50 feet on the alley, this property is, assessed at $10 per front foot and the improvements at $1,800. The assessment is hardly in accordance with my desire to sell the property. If you were to increase the assessment, I might find someone to buy it at the assessed value. As it is now assessed at $2,260, your increased assessment will not help me to sell it at the assessed value, and I am now willing and will be very glad to sell to the Deputy Assessor or to any member of the Board for $1,500 cash. The lot is above grade about six feet on the average, the improvements with the lot are renting for $13 per month. The charges according to your assessment at a rate of $2.35 per hundred is $48.40—almost four months' rent, or equivalent to an income tax of 31 per cent. In the past ten years, (I speak from experience), I find that the special taxes, amount to 10 per cent per annum, in addition to the general tax, which is equivalent to making charges against the property almost $2.60 per hundred on the assessed value. I shall not appear before the Board, but simply call your attention to the fact that you may use your own judgment. The property in this city block 2830 is rented to the Elijah Lodge for Colored People. Since the Segregation Act has been passed, I have been deprived of 90 per cent of the possible tenants to this property, assuming that 10 per cent of the population in this city is comprised of colored people. Why an increase of taxes should take place through an increase of assessment on any property occupied by colored people where the opportunities for obtaining tenants have been decreased by 90 per cent, may be clear to the assessor's office, but I have, up to the present time, failed to grasp the justification for increased assessment on property occupied by colored people. Respectfully submitted by Yours truly, A. F. Herrmann, Agent. John P. Herrmann, Jr., R. E. Co.

PRICE 5 CENTS Turpin Tells Local Business League That Less Than One Per Cent s Spent With Own Race In St. Louis. The local Negro Business League held their regular monthly meeting last Tuesday night at Russell's Chapel. The business of the evening was the appointment of a committee to arrange a memorial service to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, and a discussion of the Negro in business. Some contended that the Negro in all lines of business should compete with his white neighbor, while others claim it was unreasonable and almost impossible. Attorney W. R. Hill showed the value of competition while Mr. Arthur Turner told of the inconsistency from the Colored man's standpoint. Chas. H. Turpin, proprietor of the Booker Washington Theater, told the men that their power in the business world was like the nightly Niagara or the great Mississippi. Mr. Turpin said, "You are spending $50,000 a day and can't control one per cent of that amount. The powers of the Niagara Falls and the great Mississippi were wasted until they were harnessed, and it's up to you men to harness your strength. The people are all right. It is for us to lead." Quite a lively discussion followed, but owing to the lateness of the hour the subject was continued until next meeting. A few visitors were present, among them being Mrs. Beasie Page, proprietor of Page's Laundry. The League was invited to attend Central next Sunday in a body. OXFORD COLLEGE Oxford agents are rapidly advancing and seem to have no trouble in battling down the forts, and a number of towns have been entirely captured. The Oxford agents have the most modern equipment to use in their work, which of course accounts for their rapid progress. During the month of March, we were able to add greatly to our agents and customers' list throughout the United States; we have two agents in British Columbia and five in Canada. Local agents who graduated recently are as follows: Mrs. Bertha Marion, sister to our successful New York agent Mme. Rena Fields Voting, passed her examination, making highest average in her class and was awarded her diploma by Mr. W. L. Majors, Mrs. Marion's intention was to go into business with her sister in New York, but during her stay in St. Louis, she has gained so many customers that she has decided to remain here for a while and will be pleased to have all customers call at her residence, 325 Morrose Ave. or will go out by appointment. Mrs. Irene Lewis, 1315 E. Broadway, East St. Louis, Ill., who made next highest average and is one of our best agents, deserves much credit. In the near future she will open a beauty parlor in East St. Louis, installing two of Mr. Major's latest inventions, ray electric treatments and the electric scalp purifier, with hot and cold air hair dryer. Mrs. Ethel Cooper who follows, and is a very conscientious worker for the Oxford College, will be pleased to have customers call at her residence, 2631a Bernard street. Mrs. Annie B. Spann, came from Tusca-loosa, Ala., to complete her course, making a high average and is one of our most accomplished agents, being located 2665 Scott Ave. Miss Lillian Boothe, who came from Mississippi, and took her final examination making an average of 95 per cent has left to establish her business in Minneapolis, Minn. We have enrolled on our list for the spring class, Mrs. Amelia Jones, 5221 St. Louis Ave., and Miss Ella Lindsay, 3012 Pine street, both are doing well in their studies. Other names will appear later. BENEFIT MATINEE The New Movie Theater, Market St. near Jefferson, will give a special matinee on Tuesday, April 18, for the benefit of Queen Ether Court H. of J.

"The Truth About the Bible," about five hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman, three thousand years old," about 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 a book of sex and a book of spirit, and that sex is the divine force that causes spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the sex, and that sex-lust was the original cause of the disease. They arrest the attention of the medical, scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other profession will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written, in the history of the world. Are the books of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About, the Bible, by Sidney C. Tapp, than, to be the President of the Bible, by Milton H. Holmes, the author of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable that the human intellect cannot understand them. Ideas it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his six interpretation of the Bible will live may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die."—Proof. 2.

WE ARE AMERICANS The American Constitution, as it is to be found in the Declaration of Independence, the original article and the Amendments, is good and worthy of preservation. When it is fairly administered any true lover of liberty would rather live under it than under any other mode of government, ancient or modern, barbarous or refined. Its distraction at the present moment, by decision of the United States Supreme Court establishing the segregation of the Negro, would be the most melancholy thing that could happen, both to the white man and to the Negro. Such an event would turn back the march of progress many centuries; and he that could coolly set about to effect it must unite the bigotry of the zealot with the malignity of race hate. Few men of either race have surmounted the prejudices of their blood. Each takes his own color and form as the ideal of perfection; hence in Europe they paint their God white, and in Africa they paint him black. In the present great war in Europe the Slav is contending with the Teuton for the supremacy, and the Anglo-Saxon is tightly holding on to the supremacy which he has had more than a century in his own hands. We, as sincere lovers of the Constitution, tremble when we know that the record of the decisions of the Supreme Court show many opinions against the Negro, based on race feeling, and pray that the more advanced idea of human brotherhood will prevail in their deliberations. We are at the mercy of a bitter and prevalent sentiment that says nothing when a man is burned alive, guilty or not guilty, if the victim is a Negro; and God forbid that such sentiment weigh with the Great Court of our Nation. But if the worst comes to the worst, we will, notwithstanding, never abandon our rights or quit-claim our achievements, our patriotic worth and our contributions to American progress. No running away with us. Right here, still, must we reside, where our blood has moistened the soil, where our labor has made the parched ground a pool and caused the wilderness to blossom as the rose. We hold in our hands our bill of complaints; our bill of unrequited toil; our bill of battles fought, victories won and blood shed on the battlefields of the nation. We hold in our hands our bill of rights and the constitutional pledges given us, and we ask for the judgment guaranteed in the privileges of citizenship and American manhood and its enfranchised dignities.

The development that they have made has been in practically every line of business as well as in education. In farming they have made great progress, and they now occupy an acreage of land of a total of 42,609,117. There are nearly a million Colored farmers. When it comes to the various trades we find that the Colored man and the Colored woman are making splendid headway; 62.2 per cent of them are engaged in gainful occupations.

As one of the taxpayers whose interests Mr. Borland seems to cherish so close in his heart, I have the honor to ask if you will ascertain to what extent, if at all, conditions actually existing in the various branches of the Federal Government, or in any of them, were on February 28, 1916, such as warranted the utterance quoted on the accompanying sheet. Very respectfully, James C. Waters, Jr., Member National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "The man on the Job" is justly the term used in speaking of the Hon. L. C. Dyer, representative from the 12th Congressional District of Missouri. In speaking of Mr. Dyer last Monday night, Mayor Kiel said, that Mr. Dyer has been the "watch dog" for our city in Congress. "He is the man on the job." The Colored people, not only of Missouri, but throughout the United States, have learned that he is the man on the job ready at all times to defend the rights of all the people. THE ST.

FREE MORAL AGENT Man is his own free moral agent, possessing the power to do right or wrong, good or bad. The power of speech gives the right to speak, while he must give an account of all he says and may be punished for his words, yet there is no law to prevent him from speaking so long as he has the power of speech. He is free to speak or to hold his peace with none to compel or hinder. The Bible does not compel man to do anything, it leaves man to choose for himself life or death. Man's thoughts are as bad as his words. He has as much right to speak as to think. The thoughts are the foundation of the words. Men may condemn his word, and God his evil thoughts. Being his own free moral agent, he may do as he pleases. May accept Christ or may reject him. May be saved or lost. The choice is set before him. He is free to decide. We all have a right to talk. But we talk too much. "He that offendeth not in words, the same is a perfect man."—Bible. J. M. M. Stokes. ST. JAMES NOTES Rev. Cook, pastor of the M. M. Church, at Pecoria, III, preached at the eleven o'clock service. His subject was "Eternity." At the conclusion of normon, Dr. Peck, made an earnest appeal for some one to make a decision, where they would spend "Eternity." Two united with the church. The evening service was well attended. The par I'D RATHER NOT, BUT— tor's theme, "The Making of a Sinner." The concert given by Carrion Troop No. 1 was a decided success. It carried into effect the idea suggested by the rally which is known as the "Tournament of Flowers." Each child wore a hat representing some spring flower. The Odd Fellows Boys' Band, who donated their services through the kindness of Major McElroy, rendered many choice selections. Palm Sunday, April 16, will be a "Gala Day" in St. James. It marks the closing of the $2,000 rally. Do not fail to witness this beautiful service. Come early and secure good seats. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH NO. 1 Last Sunday was covenant and Lord's Supper and our pastor, Dr. D. W. Morris, delivered a most powerful and wonderful sermon, which was full of dight and strength. Sunday, April 16, there will be a young ministers' rally at 3 o'clock for the church. All pastors and members are asked to help us in our revival, which is on for fifteen days, and more, if we see fit. "The fight is on, Christian soldiers." Be followers with God, our Captain.

FIFTH BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES At the forenoon services we were favored with a very excellent sermon by Dr. Winston so well and favorably known by many St. Louisiana, having won so many souls to Christ at Central Baptist Church, through the magnetism of his preaching and the beautiful singing of his faithful wife. The sermon in the evening by our pastor, Dr. J. T. Caston, on Christian sympathy and courtesy was most interesting and instructive. Our Sunday-school, under the leadership of Mrs. J. T. Caston, is advancing rapidly in attendance and as a financial aid to the church. The B. Y. P. U. at 6:30 o'clock, is fairly well attended. But "Our hope our aim is higher ground." We are happy to say our church, though its attendance is not so large, its condition in every department is good, and when our membership campaign ends, we hope to have every seat filled. Visitors are welcome. TABERNACLE HAPPIST CHURCH NOTES By Benie Page The "Faith" sermons delivered by our pastor have been quite beneficial to the congregation. The members are rallying to Rev. Mosley in every possible way. Owing to the growth of the church more pews will be installed. We are planning for a big rally the fourth Sunday in May and the members are very anxious to show their loyalty towards paying for a church home. Our pastor wants the church paid for in about three years. The debt is not heavy, comparatively, as this can one ily be done. On Wednesday, April 19, the Theodisian Play will be repeated. Visitors for Sunday were Deacon Stokes, Sister Sawyer, Mrs. Phoebe Castin, Mr. and Mrs. High Ball, Rev. Day, of Clayton; Mrs. Udella North, of Valley Park, and Mamie Jenkins joined us. Literary every Monday evening. PROVIDENCE BAPTIST NOTES Our revival began last Sunday night, under what seems to be most favorable circumstances. Rev. Dr. J. S. Davis is stirring the west end with his powerful evangelistic sermons. The interest both spiritual and numerical, is on the increase each night. Wednesday evening, April 5, the pastor and wife were agreeably surprised to hear "songs in the night" and the ringing of his door bell and when he opened the door, behold the following persons rushed in: Mr. and Dumas, Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Humphrey, Brother J. H. Gibson, Mesdames Mary Turner, Thomas, Rhoda Kelley, Cassie Hall Kidd, Nannie Pearl and Anna Baker. It is useless to say that they left the table groaning under a burden with many good things to eat, for that is only putting it mildly. And as the days go by other friends who did not know of the surprise are remembering the pastor with gifts. JOHN KELLY DIES IN KIRKWOOD John Kelly, resident of Kirkwood, died Friday, April 7, and was buried from the Second Baptist Church. Rev J. K. Parker officiating. The funeral was conducted by Gates and Manuel, of 4107 Finney, St. Louis. No Negro Delegate seventeenth ward; seconded the nomination in a brilliant speech, in which he backed up the views expressed by Vaughn and checked the matter squarely up to the party leaders. Congressman L. C. Dyer and former Judge William Zachritz, were the other nominees. When the vote was counted Dyer received 44 votes, Zachritz 39, and Phillips 25. Phillips got all of the Negro votes except four, one from the 16th ward, who claims he got mixed up on the names and three from McKelvey's ward. John Pope, from that ward, bolted his cane's agreement to support Phillips. Attorney Hutchins Inge and Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., were elected alternates to the Chicago Convention. A large crowd of representative Negroes and party workers were present and cheered the fight for Phillips to the echo. Rev. R. H. Sydnor provoked a storm of hisses and hoots from the Negroes present when he stated that the Republicans could not have prevented the passage of the segregation measures. It was some time after his statement was made before sufficient quiet could be restored to proceed with his speech. BLIND BOONE'S NEW BOOK "Blind Boone," a new book.

Church, has accepted the invitation extended by Pres. G. W. Hubbard, of Meharry Medical College, and will deliver the commencement address at Ryman Auditorium, April 27. Bishop Phillips is a very eloquent and thoughtful speaker and Meharry is fortunate in enlisting his services. Bishop Phillips is a graduate of Walden and Meharry; Dr. Charles Henry Phillips, Jr., St. Louis, Mo., is a graduate of Walden and Meharry and Dr. Jasper Tappan Phillips of this city is a graduate of Fisk and Meharry. It can be readily seen that the Phillips family is one of doctors of medicine. Dr. Ivan Cecil James, a member of the Senior Dental Class, has made high rank on crown and bridge work. He is a son-in-law of Bishop Phillips, having married his youngest daughter. It will be remembered that Bishop Phillips delivered the baccalaureate sermon in 1913 when his young son, Dr. Phillips, of this city, graduated. The Meharry Commencement is the social climax of the season and between 8,000 and 9,000 people will hear Bishop Phillips and see the doctors receive their diplomas from the venerable Pres. G. W. Hubbard, who has made Meharry the greatest medical school in the world for the scientific training of doctors, dentists, pharmacists and nurses.

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE THRIFT Notable Examples of Men Who Were Celebrated for Looking After Candie Ends. In his own day, Thomas Guy's economics were so famous that folk went to consult him, and, with others, a notorious miser, who felt his own cheese paring outdone by the master. He found Guy writing by the light of a farthing dip, and stated his errand. "Oh, is that all?" said Guy; "then we can talk as well in the dark," and blew out the candle as a first practical lesson in the art of saving. The statesman who gave most thought to small economies as well as great was undoubtedly Gladstone, who was as thrifty in the public household as in his own, the London Chronicle observes. So he appealed to the foreign office for a retrenchment in flyleaves and thick folio sheets used for decking only, and the same for mere covering dispatches without description; for, as Lord Morley says, "all these had to be bound, and the bound books wanted bookcases, and the bookcases wanted buildings, and the libraries wanted librarians." When on the mission to Corfu, Gladstone made his staff scratch out the address on the parchment label of the dispatch bags and use the same labels in returning the bags to London. A supreme example of thrift was Rev. Robert Walker—the "Wonderful Walker," who gained appreciative mention in the "Excursion." His wife brought him a fortune of $200, and on the interest of this and his $25 annually Walker reared a family of eight. When, after 20 years, his stipend was raised to $90 a year he contrived to save. And not only did the family "live well, though plainly," but as he declared with justifiable pride, his children never lacked any of the necessaries of life and were given an education to fit them for any rank of society, the boys, indeed, going to one of the universities. SHOPPING Hosiery Friday, April 1916 JAPANESE TAKE TO THE SKI In the Northwestern Province the Strokesman Sport is Becoming Very Popular. Skiing is only six years old in Japan, but it has become quite popular, thanks to the efforts of Lieutenant General Nagaka, president of the National Aero society; Major General Horiuchi and Lieut. Col. Adolph von Larch of the Austrian army, says East and West. In the winter of 1910, when Lieutenant Colonel von Larch was attached to the Fifty-eighth regiment at Takata, Ichigo, he introduced the art to his Japanese comrades. Takata being famous in this country for its heavy snowfall, Lieutenant General Horiuchi, then commander of the Takata regiment, with his subalterns, were naturally induced to take a keen interest in skiing. Those military officers not only studied the novel recreation from the military point of view, but also endeavored to popularise it. In consequence there has been created a craze for skiing in Nigata prefecture, where some enterprising postmasters are reported to be providing ski for their postmen during the snowy season. While Lieutenant General Nagaka remained in command of the Thirteenth division, the dull winter life at Takata used to be animated by ski races, sometimes including a Marathon race. Later on Lieutenant Commander von Larch was transferred to the Ashigawa regiment in Hokkaido, where, too, he was identified with the dissemination of the sport. The sport is most popular in Ichigo and Hokkaido, although it is yearly becoming the sole outdoor recreation of the students, including girls, in the northwestern provinces. MAKES AN ARTIFICIAL SILK Recent Invention by a Japanese That is of Considerable Importance to the World. What appears to be an original method of producing artificial silk is due to the Japanese inventor, Kishi. The process is based on the use of the commercial substance known as chrysalis oil or essence, and the important point is that this oil shall be refined by a special method so as to have it in the pure state. The substance thus obtained is mixed with a solution of nitro-cellulose, which latter comes from mulberry bark or other parts of this tree, and he specially recommends the use of mulberry paper. A solution of cellulose of this origin is obtained by dissolving in a proper solvent such as alcohol and ether. The silk fiber is made from this liquid on the customary process by forcing it through a very fine hole, and he claims that such an artificial silk comes the nearest to the original in luster, and it has great flexibility.—Scientific American. Plea for Quiet. Anybody who lives in the vicinity of a noisy railway yard might try writing to the officials of the road a copy of this letter, sent to officials of a Dallas railroad office, signed "Unfortunates Who-Try to Live and Work and Sleep in the Vicinity:" "Gentlemen—Is it absolutely necessary, in the discharge of his duty day and night, that the engineer of your yard engine should make it ding dong and fix and spit and clang and bang and buzz and hiss and bellow and wall and pant and rant and yowl and howl and grate and grind and puff and bump and click and clank and chug and moan and hoot and toot and crash and grunt and gasp and groan and whistle and wheeze and squawk and blow and jar and perk and rasp and jangle and ring and clatter and yelp and croak and howl and hum and snarl and puff and growl and thump and boom and clash and jolt and joistle and shake and screech and smart and snarl and scrape and throb and crink and jangle and quiver and rumble and roar and rattle and yell and smoke and smell, and shriek like—?"

Bacteriological investigations made on tin horns and whistles taken from pushcart pedlers in New York showed up an average of 99 bacteria colonies a whistle. Among the germs were the deadly streptococci, known to be the cause of blood poisoning and sore throat. A culture of the germs was made and applied to a group of ten mice. Five of the mice died within 24 hours after inoculation. Later four others died, but the tenth mouse managed to pull through. What the health department wants to prove is that while the horns and whistles may be sanitary when they come from the factory, most dealers on the streets use them to demonstrate their effectiveness before they pass into the hands of the ultimate consumer. In this way the buyer is the consumer of a pretty good percentage of germs. A map of the visible universe, upon which the astronomers of the world have been working for 25 years, is almost complete.

Some of the stars which will be represented have never been seen by the eye of man and probably never will be seen.

All is atill—dull, 1€ you please to call it vo—that fs Teasc.” As another has put It, “the ‘salient feature of his Iife is that it has rio salient features.” He 1s a type of.the commonplace people of. whom God has made so many. How thrilling it is to know that God fs the God of Isaac and of all ike unto him! ‘ Inaac’s life was no doubt a disap- pointment to men. He came by miraculous birth, yet proved tobe just an ordinary. mam Many have hoped to be the happy fathers of artists, sculptors, musicians and scholars, but thelr children have turned out to be house painters, stone masons, aud dry fa clerks... SUM, It Is wel to bave entertained these hopes,. for. if our children are no more remarkable than they are, In spite of our ambitions, what might they have been if we had had no ambitions for them. Teaac’s life was directed by God. This appears especially ‘in the story of his marriage;fouat? in Gen. 24. “The steps of « good man are ordered of the Lord,” no matter how dull and brown his life may be outwardly; an “ordinary” life. may still be an “or dered” life. Horace Bushnell, in his great sermon on: “Every: Man's Life Plan of God,” states hia theme thus: “That God hes & definite plan for every human person, girding bim visibly or invisibly for some exact thing, which it will be the true sis- nificance and glory.of his life to have ‘accomplished.” In character Isaac was marked. by the passive virtues. We do not ap- preciate patience,: gentleness, meek- neas, and other quiet graces as much ‘as we should. Submission was a marked clement in bis make-up. When Abraham would offer him as a sacrifice on Mount Mo- riah he made no resistance, though the: knife actually flashed over bim. ‘What a picture he was of our Lord in his submission (Heb. 10:6-7). ‘This element appears again in Isaac's life at Gerar, As fast as he would dig wells at ‘this place the Philistines would contend far..them, but instepd ‘of quarreling, Isaac would move on and dig another well. The outcome of bis meekness ‘was that the Philis- tines came to him to mike: a cov- enant, saying, “We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee.” Even now | there fs a senso ‘in which the meek inherit the earth — 2. | ‘This quiet man was thoughtful, and | we see him going’ out, to: meditate tn | the fields at the eventide (Gen. 24:63). | Quiet people may know things better |than others and know them more | deeply.

Gen. Fran: cis V.' Greene in the Outlook. Athletes, when training for any particular stunt should practice for. short periods of timo if they desire the best results. Some interesting ex- periments on this subject have been carried out by Dr, K. 8, Lasbley of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi- tlon of’ skill in archery was selected as-the subject of observation. Twenty untrained persons were divided into three groups. One group shot five arrows with the English longbow per day;—another_20shota per ‘day; and the third, 40 shots, The results showed conclusively’ that“ the ‘group -ehooting only five times o day improved in ac- curacy -with less expenditure of time {m practice than was required by either of the other groups for the same improvement. A report on the exper- méants says: “The relatively greater efficiency of short periods of practice continuing for many days is in ac- cordance with the results of the study of animals and of speech habits in man, and indicates that in training to muscular feats, in both animals and men, the length of practice periods ré- quired {s usually too great for maxt pum efficiency.” ———_—_—_—_o String Made From Paper.

Everybody Should See It. 5 Cents ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. THEATRES THEATRES FOUR GOOD ACTS AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON As an entertainer, the bill at the Booker Washington Theater this week is well up to the average. Miss Nina Marshall, recently with the Smart Set Company, does well in her three song numbers, all composed in the popular ragtime vein. She has an excellent voice of large calibre and garnishes her work with some artistic soft shoe dancing. Foster and Fox, a white team of female impersonators, do well in violin and vocal duets and solos. Smith and Mills have a lively act, consisting of songs, dances and original dialogues. Both are good singers. They pull off a little burlesque tragedy that is comical. Their dancing goes big. Burton and Vaughn close the show in a conglomeration of fun and frolic. Miss Vaughn, although a stage beauty, does not depend upon good looks. She has talent in voice and actions and carries the audience with her in her singing and dancing. Wayman (Buzzin) Burton is a comedy favorite here. He gets the hand at every turn. He is repeating his "Buzzin Around" song and scoring his usual big hit. It seems the theater goers will never tire of this eccentric piece. The pair execute some very meritable dancing. Walter Thomas, son of Mrs. Georgia Thomas, 116 a S. Channing, is in Pittsburgh, Pa., working in vaudeville, doing a Hindu Temple Dance, on the U. B. O. Time. He is scoring a success and sends regards to his friends in and out of the profession.

Barrett, will open their baseball season Sunday, April 23, Easter, with Brock's All Stars at Brooks Park, 3600 S. Broadway. The Giants will use this park as their home this season. The famous A. B. C. team, of Indianapolis, will be here April 30, May, 1, 2, and the Cuban Stars will follow. Mr. Barret says ne is going to book the best teams, both white and colored, that money can secure, and give the fans only high class baseball. The Giants' lineup is: "String Beans" Williams, Gafewood, Wickware and Wade, pitchers; Speck Webster, W. Webster and Cobb, catchers; McAdoo, first base; Handy, second; Kimbro, third; Wallace, short; Hewett, right field; Lyons, center, and Bennett, left. The Dunny will be mascot, and Wm. Daily will umpire the games. Before deciding to accept Edward Brock's park Mr. Barrett and his backers had considerable adverse experience. Phil Ball demanded $10,000 for Federal League Park for the season, although it was worth only half that amount. Barrett's backers offered to pay $7,500. Ball declined, stating that the Giants will hurt his business, referring to the Browns. Barrett then turned his attention to old Athletic Park, but found in such a condition it will cost $5,000 to make proper improvements, and only a two-year lease can be had. Owner Cavanaugh refused to share in the cost of the improvements, and the project was abandoned. The seating capacity of Brooks Park is being enlarged. The Giants are popular in South St. Louis, and with the class of baseball Mr. Barrett is going to offer, big crowds will be the result. For further announcement see the Argus next week.

THE RETINA HIGH CLASS MOVING PIC- TURE SHOW, 20th and Market Streets LADIES & CHILDREN ESPECIALLY INVITED —JOHN H. GENTNER, Prop. Christian Spiritual TEST MEETING EVERY Tuesday and Eidun Night THE MAGICIAN gather, food are made friends, lost property is recovered, the mist is brushed away from business ventures, the hand is no guided that failures are averted, the earth's surface is explored, its treasure ladda bare to his mysterious perceptive mind, and while he gives names, dates, figures, his visitor sits dumfounded at the revelations he makes to him. He is surely a man of the pending time. GLADSTONE is not a clairvoyant from choice, but because fate has so deceived it. His ancestors were powerful mediums and have for ages handed down their wonderful power of gift from generations to generation. So he has received the rich inheritance together with the combined knowledge and priceless experience of generations. No matter what year your past experience has been, your past experience has been, will save time and avoid disappointment by at once consulting Gladstone. NOTE.—Gladstone answers no letters. If you cannot call in person, do not write, as his time is fully occupied with his personal callers.
