St. Louis Argus

THE ONLY NEGRO EVER A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT W. T. SOOTT, OF SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, WAS NOMINATED BY NATIONAL COLORED LIBERTY PARTY AT CONVENTION IN ST. LOUIS IN JULY, 1904. DEMOCRATS NAMED PARKER AND DAVIS. REPUBLICANS WON WITH BOOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS. THE BROOKLYN BROTHERS The Democratic Convention, in session in St. Louis this week has been the means of introducing to St. Louis an many man of national character. Some who have been successful in their political aspirations and have attained high honor, others who have registered repeated failures, but have always been found on the string line making things lively for their opponents. The Negro has had his bit in these proceedings and there is no character more unique than W. T. Scott, editor of the Springfield Leader, a Colored weekly. Scott came into prominence in St. Louis, and in fact throughout the country in 1904. The Democratic Convention was held here in July, that year and nominated Alton B. Parker, of New York, for president and Henry G. Davis, of Virginia for vice-president. While the sessions were going on another convention was also being held. A new party, called the National Negro Liberty Party was meeting. It sprung from the fertile brains of the late J. Milton Turner, Bishop Alexander Walters, of New Jersey, Stanley Mitchell, of Tennessee, W. T. Scott, of Illinois, Rev. Wm. A. Barker, of West Virginia and others. The designers averred they wanted a party machine of their own, so they could handle the throttle. The convention nominated Scott for president and Barker for vice-president. The Republicans had selected Roosevelt and Fairbanks as their standard bearers and they were elected by the largest popular majority in history. Although little was ever heard of the National Negro Liberty Party after Big Exhaust Fan Purifies Atmosphere The big exhaust fan in the north wall of the Booker Washington Theatre is a modern appliance to this play house that affords even a cooler and purer atmosphere than can be had outside on a hot summer night. Any germs or impurting that arise are immediately drawn up over the heads of the patrons and forced outside, while the fresh air is constantly being driven in. The entire atmosphere is completely changed every minute without creating a draft and the result is a pure, cool and comfortable air that is invigorating and healthful. This remarkable and ingenious contrivance is continually at work, while the patrons are savoring the show, few realizing the cause of their comfort. This theatre has been having some extraordinarily big crowds lately, due, no doubt, to the improvement in the performance and the high class pictures which Mr. Turpin is showing. At times last week, one could not get the building, yet no one was uncomfortable. The poorer idea this summer will be, yet in, out of the heat. The St. Louis Argus its convention adjourned, Editor Scott still lives as the only Negro ever nominated by a delegate convention for the presidency of the United States. The following resolution was presented to the Democratic Convention, by a committee of Negro delegates, in an effort to have it inserted as a plank in the Democratic platform. We solemnly affirm the civil equality of all elements of our American citizenship and we emphasize our advocacy of proportionate, dignified representation of each such distinct element in official service under this government of the people without any restricting considerations of race, color or other invidious distinction; and we truthfully aver that any appearing departure from these principles in the acts of any Democratic administration has resulted from extraneous exigencies and not at all from disregard of the just axioms here enunciated, to which we unquefively commit the nominees of this convention with the respectful counsel that any appearing violation thereof be made clear by pronounced illuminating action. We recognize, without favorable or unfavorable criticism, the existence of race likings and race aversions, but we can not find place for them in the laws or governmental processes of our republic.

Mr. Hussey appreciates the faithfulness of his patrons and believes in reciprocation. As a result he is always striving to improve their comfort and satisfaction.

W. LLOYD IN KANSAS CITY Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Missouri, the Man of the Hour, Visiting Lodges in City, Holding Elections. Royally Entertained by Evening Star Social Club. Our correspondent, in an interview with Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, of the K. of P., who is here on his usual official visit to the eleven subordinate lodges of the Knights of Pythias, found out that the conditions as stated by Sir Lloyd, on the whole are very satisfactory. The reports of each lodge in this western trip including Kansas City, shows a marked improvement over any previous report rendered during his tenure of office. Grand Chancellor made the following statement regarding fraternal work and the dangers of the insurance companies to it: "One of the most dangerous foes to our fraternal organization is the sick and accident insurance companies of this country which have assumed a competition that is really alarming in its proportions. They are making dangerous inroads upon our lodges in many localites, causing a number of our best men and women to desert the order and become members of these companies. It is up to us to meet this issue of competition squarely and to increase our endeavors to place our lodge upon such a strong financial basis that we will be able to pay all sick and death claims promptly, and thereby give better returns for the money invested in the Order. We must meet this situation as a cold business proposition that will be as crushing as it will be effective." Sir Lloyd is lecturing, to the Lodges upon higher business attainments, urging them to apply better business methods in collecting monthly dues in order that they may avoid the unnecessary criticism which comes from delays and to see it to that their best men are placed on guard. "The launching of our lodges in the endowment, or insurance so-called, has opened up a new and large field and has brought them into direct competition with the insurance companies of the business world." All members of our organization should congratulate themselves upon the healthy assets which amount to forty thousand and sixty-one dollars and sixty-nine cents ($40,061.69.) Sir Lloyd has not much time for the social side of life, his work being so pressing, but to his delightful surprise the Evening Star Social Club entertained very pleasantly for him Sunday afternoon, June 11, 1916. The luncheon was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Johnson, 1508 E. 18th street. Mrs. Johnson is Past Grand Lecturer of the Courts of the State and Mr. Johnson, Chancellor Commander of McKinley Lodge, No. 21, of this city. All the dainties and delicacies of the season were served and in the grand style this club knows so well how to serve. The guests were as follows: Hon. A. W. Lloyd, Mr. J. P. Maynard, P. G. C., Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Reins, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Tutt, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Isases, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Johnson, Misses Rowena and 'Nanite Issues, Rebecca Williams, Dora Haywood, Bertha Holland, Little Miss Anna Harra Isases and Leo Jenkins. Mr. Maynard was the master of ceremonies and the afternoon was spent in discussing current events. Hon. Lloyd expressed his pleasure and appreciation in being so royally entertained by this club and the many friends represented from Howard County, and all left feeling greatly benefited as well as declaring it one of the most enjoyable social affairs of the season.

Much Interest Manifested. Institution has More Than 300 Agents in Bluff City. Memphis, Teun., June 14, Special to Argus.—Mr. and Mrs. Malone, proprietors of Poro College of St. Louis, Mo., gave a most interesting entertainment in this city last Monday night. Nearly 1,000 persons were present to witness the Poro Movies. These pictures attracted quite a deal of attention in view of the fact that they are made up of not only the workings at Poro College, but contain many, and varied M. phases of the life of our people throughout the United States, which have been gathered by the proprietors during their extensive travels. It was the natural thing for a large crowd to greet Mr. and Mrs. Malone, because Memphis can boast of having over 300 "Poro" agents. The people of Memphis are always pleased to see the executive force of Poro College, and their presence is quite a stimulus to the local agents. A. E. Miss Mandelle McMurray Private Secretary to Mrs. Malone After spending a few days in this city, in interest of the local work, they departed on a continuation of their trip through the south. The executive force, was accompanied by Miss Ida Miller, a member of the operating department. AT "PORO" COLLEGE Notwithstanding that the proprietors were away when an Argus representative called at the college this week, he found everything moving on smoothly with Prof. Martin Lewis, of Hannibal, Mo., superintending. Some new faces were seen, and among those were Miss Stella Maxie, Chicago, Ill., and Miss Agnes Neely, Metropolis, Ill., were new students for last week. Mrs. Rena P. King, Shelby, Miss, Mrs. Bettie Gillum, Clarksdale, Miss., and Mrs. Julia Jenkins, Nashville, Tenn., are taking a post course. A special call meeting of all the local "Poro" Agents will be held at "Poro" College, Monday evening, June 19, at 6 o'clock.

German Newspaper in Belgrade. The old Serbian capital now has a German newspaper, for the first time in its history. The paper is a daily sheet of six pages, published under the title "Belgrader Nachrichten." In its first issue the new daily announced that Belgrade would remain under the Austro-Hungarian flag forever, even if Serbia should not disappear from the map entirely. Shrewd Portuguese Premier. Affonso Costa, the Portuguese premier, whose action it was that precipitated hostilities between the land of Vaso da Gama and that of Walther von der Vogelweide, took a wild ride through Lisbon for reasons of state immediately after the murder of King Carlos, last of the Braganza kings but Manuel, and appeared in the national council chambers at just the right moment to swing action to his own desires. Also he or the man with him shot a number of holes through the taxi in order to make it appear that they had done so doughy a deed under conditions of the greatest danger. The incident is said to give an excellent key to the shrewd character of Costa, who is a politician of politicians and has always managed to get just about what he has wanted—Springfield Republican. World's wisdom in 25 years. The wisdom of the world in 25 words is the contribution of Charles M.

Eilot, who condensed the world's best reading into a five-foot shelf, takes his topper off to the toe of western rodents. Here is the quintessence of Grecian gray, matter, doubly distilled and sparkling: Solon: "Know thyself." Chion: "Consider the end." Pitacus: "Know thy opportunity." Bias: "Most men are bad."

AT ALL COURTS HALLS OF JEWELRY STYLE 4923 Signs and omens are seriously regarded by many people who would feel insulted at being called superstitious. If you doubt it, pay attention to what your wife says next time a knife or fork falls from the table to the floor while you are serenely enjoying dinner. How often have you been told, when you were boasting about good health, to knock on wood? This is one of the common fancies, so common that it passed into vaudeville literature in the form of a song entitled "Knock Wood," or "Touch Wood," according to copyright privileges. It is an old superstition, if that be the correct term for a custom that dates back to the time when the oak and ash and rowan were held sacred to sylvani deities. It is reported that when Mr. Asquith in a speech to the house of commons referred to the small loss to the British in the transport of men and stores to the front "the first lord of the admiralty (Mr. Balfour) leaned forward gravely to touch the wood of the clerk's table." So that there is at least the loftiness of personages in such example, and it is said that this was not the first time such a sign was made in the house of commons. PEACE, TOO, TAKES ITS TOLL Society Does Not by Any Means Need War to Force Youth to Destruction. With attempts at suicide by three children in one day, New York is, reminded forcibly of the fact that youth either assumes burdens that ought not to be forced upon it or is poorly equipped to meet the problems of life, observes the New York World. When boys and girls seek death as the one remedy for disappointment, grief or anxiety, we may not be surprised to find despair and fatalism in the nursery. A good many people in America profess to be shocked because in Europe lads of eighteen or even less have been summoned to the colors. Yet it is evident that there are responsibilities arising from the strifes of peace that are hardly less deadly than those encountered in war. In most cases boys do not have to be driven to battle. When they are entirely normal they are ignorantly eager for the experience. In our social, educational and industrial system we are pushing children beyond their strength, without discipline and knowledge, we are putting them into the trenches as truly as are the war lords. Thin Glass to Protect Frescoes. A novel method of preserving frescoes, recently discovered by Mr. Etaji Ashida of Kobe, consists in coating thin glass on frescoes by means of certain specially prepared chemicals. He asserts that the new method renders frescoes proof against insects, humidity and other injurious action of the atmosphere. It is stated that the chemicals, the medium to adhere glass to a frescoe, are an alkaline element and caustic nitrogen combined at a heat as high as 300 degrees (cent.). Mr. Ashida has applied to the Nara prefectural authorities for the adoption of his method in preserving the famous frescoes of the Horyuji at Nara, the oldest temple in Japan. ```markdown ``` Beautiful Bust and Shoulders are possible if you will wear a scientifically constructed Bien Jolie Brassiere.

C The Democratic Convention, now in session in St. Louis, is a canned affair. It is ready-made and shelved—a "Made-in-Washington" convention—officers, platform, nominees, etc., have been all duly packed, labeled and expressed to the Coliseum, St. Louis, Mo. All the delegates have to do is to watch the revolutions, after the chairman presses the button. The convention is not only cut and dried, but it has been baked to incineration. Occasionally, light is let in on the scene by the appearance of William Jennings Bryan, but outside of that the convention might be the Democratic Memorial exercises, for all we know. The frequent defeats of the Democracy and the smashing of their paramount issues have hardened the dermis of the old ass, so that now a bullet could hardly penetrate it. Free trade a paramount issue; free silver a paramount issue; now expansion a paramount issue. These have all gone down before the people, as their earlier paramount issues of secession and the expansion of slavery. So the Democratic party is used to being beaten, and when they see defeat staring them in the face they walk as stolidly up to it as a sort of semi-conscious criminal takes the electric chain. It is enough to make the angels weep when we study how many times and how badly the Democratic party has been beaten. But it doesn't fease them. These stubhorn and pertinacious fellows were created to be soundly lambasted, ever and anon. It is a part of the scheme of the universal economy that they be defeated, again and again. They may appeal to their hoodoo god, and nominate Thursday instead of Friday because of the old superstition that Friday is an unlucky day, but Hoodoo can't save them; he hasn't enough grace. The Bull Moose party has been orphaned by the abandonment of Roosevelt, and the Democracy is now seriously considering about adopting the Moose calves and nursing them back into life. But the herd has stampeded and, after four years of continual defeats at the polls, has nothing left but a few Gideonites who can lap water like dogs. If the Democrats can make a platform upon which the Bull Moosers can stand, a great body of Democrats will leave their party, and the loss will be greater than the gain. Let the Democrats stand pat, as always; die like men, and on the 1st of November march up on the scaffold, adjust the noose and bid the people one of their usual quadrennial good-byes. The editor of "The Pythian Monitor" sounded a timely warning in his recent issue relative to the work of Grand Chancellor Lloyd, of Missouri. The Knights of Pythias, of Missouri, as shown by the investigation of the State Insurance Department, is in a splendid financial condition, and the order has prospered and flourished under the administration of A. W. Lloyd, and before even considering a change in the office of Grand Chancellor, the members of the Grand Lodge should be sure that the order will be benefited by the change.

Call at the office of the Election Commissioners, in the City Hall, and get your name on the books. Don't put it off. Do it today. Dr. Rudolph Vitt For Coroner The position of coroner is one which should be filled with the greatest care because of its peculiar functions. In should be filled by a broad-minded upright, fearless, Christian man; one who, in discharging his official duties will enforce the law regardless of whether it be a Jew or gentile. The Colored people should be vitally interested in the election of a coroner who will consider the life of a Negro the life of a human being, and when a Negro is involved, enforce the law just as vigorously as when white people are concerned. In former years the law has been laxly enforced that St. Louis is filled NATHAN FRANK THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE PLACE When Nathan Frank, as representative to Congress from the 12th district of Missouri took his seat in that body in 1889 he at once attracted attention. His loyal training and broad and comprehensive views on national issues gained for him much appreciation and placed his name in the rank of eminent lawyers and statesmen. After Mr. Frank retired from Congress he still maintained a deep interest in the success of the Republican Party, and, has always been at the beck and call of his party for any service that he was qualified to render them, and this service he often rendered freely. If fitness, springing out of experience and moral and intellectual training and service to the nation and party is a necessary qualification for U. S. Senator, Frank can have no superior in Missouri. He is an original Hughesman and should Hughes become president and Frank be elected as United States Senator, Honorable Nathan Frank will hold up the hands of our president while the battle will be won REV.

Caldwell Geither, 3964 Finney Ave., St. Louis, Mo. THE VAN-DO Dr. Van Sooven with criminals. It has been a very easy matter for the political axes to turn the worst criminals loose, to live amongst the best Negroes in St. Louis, and it is time that the Negroes were awakening to this situation and choosing a fearless and upright man to fill the office of coroner. In Dr. Rudolph Vitt, you will find the embodiment of justice and honesty. He asks to be nominated on the Republican Ticket, August 1. He promises to place the coroner's office and its official records on a high plane in harmony with the great courts of justice. Dr. Vitt is quite well known, and everywhere can be heard only the most favorable comment on his candidacy. on the side of the party.

The Magnetic Power of the Uplifted Christ By REV. W. W. KETCHUM Director of the Practical Course, Meady Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT--And I if I be lifted up will draw all men unto me—John 12:22. There should be no question as to what Christ meant by the expression "lifted up." If so, it should be at once set aside, for the evangelist interprets the words for us: "This he said, signifying what death he should die." A. In three other places in John's gospel this expression "lifted up" is used. In the third chapter, the fourteenth verse, where we read: "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up." Again in the eighth chapter, twenty-eighth verse: "When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then shall ye know that I am he." And in the twelfth chapter, the thirty-fourth verse, where the people in response to Christ's word in our text reply: "We have heard oid of the law that Christ abideth forever; and how sayest thou, the Son of Man must be lifted up!" It is very evident from this reply that they understood him to mean by the expression "lifted up," his death. And so a careful study of the use of this expression in this gospel convinces one that by it is meant Christ's death upon the cross. Christ, therefore, in our text tells us that through his death there would come to him an added power, the power to draw all men to him, a power which was not evident when he walked this earth as the Son of Man. Christ never had any large following then, probably never more than five hundred disciples at any one time. But today, on this side of the cross, millions follow in his train. His words have come true: "And if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me." What is this power? We have all experienced it. It is the attraction of sacrifice. Who is not drawn by it? I shall never forget how, as a boy, I was drawn to that hero of the great lakes, John Maynard, by reading the story of his sacrifice. He was pilot on a lake steamer that caught fire, and though the fames swept around the pilot house he bravely stood at his post. From the stern of the vessel, where passengers and crew were gathered, the captain repeatedly called out, "Can you hold out a little longer, John?" And each time, more feebly, came the reply: "Aye, aye, sir, a little longer." At last the keel of the boat ground upon the gravelly beach, and all were saved except John Maynard, who died at his post. Who, I ask, is not drawn by such sacrifice? And if the sacrifice of John Maynard draws one's heart, who is there that will not be drawn to Christ as they know the story of his sacrifice on the cross? Hearts are drawn, the world over, as the old love story of the cross is told. There is no doubt about that. Matchless is the teaching of Christ is; wonderful and beautiful as his life on earth was. it is the story of Calvary that draws human hearts. For there God in Christ met and settled forever the problem of every human heart. Sin was there put away by his sacrifice; there he bore our sins in his own body; there he, who knew no sin, was made sin for us. It was a divine sacrifice meeting every human need. No burdened soul need longer stumble and fall under the weight of sin. Weary, worn one, why not yield yourself to the drawing power of the uplifted Christ? That is the question. Christ draws all men, but will all men yield? That depends upon the men, for as free moral agents we have the power of saying, "No." Among the saddest words Jesus ever uttered are these: "Ye will not come unto me that ye might have life." Note it carefully, "will not." It is a matter then of our wills. Will we yield? In a little New York state town where I was a student pastor a man sat alone one Sunday night in his home. Some time before this a devoted Christian woman, in paying him a bill, said, "Mr. ——, I wouldn't be in your shoes for all you have in the world." And as she said this she placed in his hands two volumes of the life of Christ, requesting that he read them. Time, that Sunday night, hung heavily on his hands. The folks were away; he had nothing to do. Aimlessly he picked up one of the volumes and began to read, not in the front of the book but near the close. It was the second volume of the life of Christ, and as he read he became deeply interested, then fascinated, finally drawn. What was he reading? The story of Calvary. A tear glistened in his eye, rolled down his cheek, another and another. At length, unable to resist longer, he rushed out of the house, up town to the little church, and just as the benediction was about to be pronounced, down the alley came the man. As he reached the pulpit he cried aloud, "What must I do to be saved?" And there that night, drawn by the uplifted Christ, he yielded himself to him who is mighty to save. Oh my friend, the uplifted Christian dream. Will you yield? INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright by Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JUNE 18. THE PHILIPPIAN JAILER. LESSON TEXT—Acts 16:18-40. GOLDEN TEXT—Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house—Acts 16:81. Dean Vaughn has said of this lesson that is it "we have an epitome of the whole history of the gospel." The time was A. D. 50 or 52 and the place was Philipp, an important city, as before sugrusted. I. The Damsel Delivered of Demona (vv. 16-18). On their way to the praying place where they had met Lydia, the disciples met this maid who "had a spirit, a Python." Greek soothsayers were supposed to be inspired by Apollo, who killed a great snake at Mt. Parnassus and left it to rot. The girl was probably possessed of hysteria and thus spoke strange words, and her condition brought much profit to her masters, who professed to interpret her words. This evidence of evil possession awoke a sympathetic response in Paul's heart. "Her misery and degradation were a symbol of the degradation, as Lydia's sweet and benevolent Christian character was of the transfiguration of womanhood."—Stalker. Her cry after Paul was perhaps that they were the slaves of some god, even as she was the slave of Apollo. The Gadarene (Luke 8:28) used similar language. Paul did not at once stop her (v. 8), perhaps to avoid a controversy, but his deliberation made more profound the final deliverance wrought. Worn out at last with her cries, but taking no credit himself, Paul spoke the name of Power which had foretold just such acts (Mk.: 16:17; Lk. 9:1; Lk. 10:17); II. The Disciples in Prison (vv. 19-24.) Of no further commercial value, the slave drivers sought revenge by inciting a mob to attack Paul and his companions. So today the liquor interests would seek remuneration for the loss of their "business," and anathematize their opponents, while the underworld tries to overthrow all who seek to restrain them. Paul and Silas were accused of "troubling" the city, for the trade has been interfered with. It, indeed, went hard with them thus to be unjustly set upon and finally, through the connivance of the spindeless authorities, to be incarcerated in a filthy dungeon. Still, though the majority was against them, yet the mob was not right (compare 17:5; 18:12; 19:28-29), and they had One on their side who was sufficient (Rom. 8:28). III. Deliverance and Salvation (vv. 25-35). Christ before Pilate was accused of sedition, and these flogged disciples were likewise innocent sufferers. (1) Prayer and praise (25-26). Note the circumstances—darkness, torn and bleeding, aching backs and a morrow filled with blackness. There was no sleep for the disciples at that midnight hour, but often strength is better gained in prayer than sleep. "Praying, they sang hymns,"—in the midst of that heterogeneous lot of prisoners they did not, could not, keep silent. The result was attentive listening by the other prisoners and by a loving Heavenly Father, who shook the place to evidence his interest (v. 26). (2) The jailed delivered. The place was so shaken that every barred door was opened and the staples of the stocks were so loosened as to liberate every prisoner. (3) The jailer saved. The brutal one is now the anxious inquirer, and becomes a good type for all to follow who are out of Christ. (a) He saw he was lost. He was subject to the same death as his escaped prisoners. "Supposing" (v. 27) has darkened many lives, and our greatest sorrows are often imagined. Face to face with death, the jailer would plunge into an eternity for which he was not prepared. Paul's clarion call brought the jailer to express his anxiety (v. 29), and it was not a trifling nor skeptically indifferent man who appealed to Paul. He was brought face to face with two holy men, with God and with eternity. Those to whom he came knew the facts, had faith, and could meet the emergencies of life with confidence. IV. The Humbled Magistrates (vv. 35-40). The jailer evidences joy, hospitality and a changed home, which news must have reached the magistrates. Their early command was to "let these fellows go." Paul here rises to his full dignity. Beaten openly, condemned without trial and verdict, does not allow them to cover their crime and blunder by stealth. The magistrates were liable to loss of position, goods, and even life, and hence willingly did all that Paul required. Thus the imprisonment turned out to the honor of the apostle and the glory of God. Nor did Paul hasten at all in leaving the city. After recovering strength to travel and encouraging the members of the infant church they departed, taking Timothy (17:14) with them. Thus God gloriously delivered those who labored amidst sore trials, and there was established in Philippi a church which was dear to Paul and which was especially kind to Paul, and in which is discarded one of his most tender relations.

Page 8 BASE BALL NEW MOVIE THEATRE Every Monday PEG O' THE RING EVERY THURSDAY THE MYSTERIES OF MYRA COMET THEATRE ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H.-T. M. THEATRES The Strain and Bailey Stock Company, is offering a changed bill at the Booker Washington theater this week. Plenty of real music, full of melody and harmony, lively and artistic dancing and witty, dialogue occupy the first part. The musical numbers are rendered in singles and in choruses and are all well received. The finale is a western drama entitled, "Loud Thunder's Revenge." Doc Strain again appears to advantage in the heavy role. Tim Moore, as a wandering tramp distributes a barret of fun with his anties. The other members of the cast are well up to the requirements. The entire program goes over nicely and the audiences are well pleased. There is one little Miss with the Strain-Bailey Company that has been attracting more than ordinary attention. This is Edna Young, a diminutive soubrette, with a versatility of art that would do credit to the best of foollight stars. She is studious to the minutest detail, is delightfully vivacious, possessing a magnetism that always holds her in the center of attractiveness. She is a graceful dancer and in the dialogues always reads her lines with expressions true to life. Miss Young is a natural actress and will be a future favorite behind the footlights. Annie St. Clair is a member of the Strain-Bailey Company this week. NEXT WEEK AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE Murriel Ringgold and Ernest Watts will head the Booker Washington bill next week. This combination is bound to prove popular here. Miss Ringgold is a show in herself and Ernest Watts is an actor whose excellent voice and artistic work have been highly praised. Edgar Martin, formerly of the Martin-Motley Stock Company, promises a rare treat in monologue comedy and fances. The Rock Midgets, a supreme singing and dancing act comes from "Big time." One other big act will complete a big seek's bill. Don't fail to see "The secret of the Submarine" on Mondays and "The Social Pirates" on Wednesday. Remember every "Social Pirates" picture is a complete story. It is not a serial. Charlie Chaplin pictures are a big Sunday feature. MOVIE AND RIALTO THEATERS GET "SECRET OF THE SUR- MARINE" On account of the enormous popularity of "The Secret of the Submarine," the manager of the Movie Theater and the Rialto Skydome has decided to show his patrons this sensational serial. The picture is on at both places on Wednesdays. It has been given out, from a reliable source, that the Keystone Garden will soon be open on Sunday nights. "Bevo" is to be featured.

Miss Thompson will gladly show you this elegant instrument at any time.

Now, when you have carefully considered these vital points, then remember: Every white salesman in this city is working on commission and when you buy from one of them you must pay the middle man's profit. I handle pianos on consignment. I sell at my own price and give you the advantage. If you side step me, you pay the penalty. These are plain facts you should know.
