ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,JULY 21,1916. NEGRO TROOPERS ARE BURIED WITH MILITARY HONORS Six Unidentified Troopers of 10th Cavalry Who Pell at Carrizal, Given Pull Military Honors—Hon' L. C. Dyer Leads Procession and Pays Tribute to Dead. WASHINGTON, D. C., JULY 14 Special to Argus: Six unidentified bodies of the soldiers of the tenth cavalry, who were killed in the battle at Carrizal, Mexico, were buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery in this city today. Thousands were gathered at the Union Station this morning when the funeral train arrived. A procession was formed of military organization, and Colored societies which followed the bodies to the grave. Before the bodies were lowered to the grave a wreath from President Wilson was placed on each casket. The flowers from the White Hour gardens were sent to Arlington before the hour of the funeral today with accompanying cards bearing the names of the President and Mrs. Wilson. National Character The ceremonies over the bodies of the tenth Cavalrymen took on a national character since all orders regarding the funeral were issued by the War Department. It was by order of the War Department that the Second Cavalry at Forliver met the bodies and led the funeral procession, and that the District military organizations participated in services at Arlington. A place of honor in the funeral procession also was given the Spanish War Veterans, Congressmen L. C. Dyer, or Missouri, commander-in-chief of the organization, led the veterans in the march from the station to the cemetery. Notable Service The gallant Tenth Cavalry, the cracked Colored regiment of the United States army, rendered notable service in the campaign in Cuba eighteen years ago this month. The regiment as it exists today and among whose numbers were the six men killed at Carrilus, has been in the thick of the fighting-in Mexico. The troopers buried today were found on the Carrilus battlefield stripped of clothing. The identification marks carried in battle by American soldiers were missing and it was impossible to identify the individual bodies, although the Tenth Cavalry roll gives the names of the men missing after the Carrilus battle. The Rev. Simon P, W. Drew, pastor of Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, was instrumental in having the bodies brought to Washington and in arranging the funeral plans. GARDEN OF MIRTH The garden of Mirth was still drawing its portion of patronage during the past week. The bowling alleys seemed to be the main features. Preparations are being made to put on drama. That will add a deal to the present attractions. The very best order has been observed. FORMER ST.

STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK All of the men who went on a strike at the Scullin Gallagher steel plant, two weeks ago, have returned to their old positions, except a few of the leaders whom the company refused to allow to return, charging them with ungratefulness. An old employee at the plant stated that the company had in the past been very liberal to most of the men who complained, saying that during dull times the management had kept them on the pay roll, and given them straight time. The men who returned to work will receive their same wages and steady employment. It will be remembered that during the past fifteen years, the Scullin Gallagher steel plant has taken the lead in employing Colored men in the higher positions at their foundry, being the first to employ Colored men on the cranes in this section of the country. The management thinks the men were a little hasty in their actions. MRS. BEDFORD VISITS CHICAGO Mrs. S.

THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS Men are measured by their deeds, not by their words. A man's real attitude toward anything is determined very largely from what he has done with reference thereto in times prior to the period when it is to his personal interest to appear favorable toward it. Therefore, words said in the light of an approaching election at which a candidate seeks the votes of the people are not to be given the weight or credibility attached to his acts and sayings in relation thereto covering a number of years before. Unfortunate as it is, one of the most vital questions which the Negro voter in this country must consider is whether or not the man seeking the benefit of his suffrage is a safe man to intrust with his (the Negro's) interests and liberty. Will he be fair? Will he favor discrimination and injustice towards the black man because of his color? These are the questions which the Negro voter asks himself in addition to those which his white brother has to ask, and their determination in a sense favorable to himself will nearly always determine how the Negro will vote or for whom. This is as it should be and is simply following the old law of self-defense. In determining these questions the Negro should know, and does not ask that a man be a special friend to his race. All he can ask is that those who seek his vote are broad-gauged, fair-minded men, in sympathy with and just to all human beings and is in full accord with the spirit of democracy and fair-play as set forth in the fundamental laws and principles of our great country. If the man happens to be especially friendly toward the Negro, so much the better; but he should not make that a condition of his support. Hon. Nathan Frank, of St. Louis, is a candidate for the office of United States Senator from Missouri, subject to the Republican primaries, August 1, and is asking the suffrage of all Republicans and those who are friendly to the things for which he stands. The questions above indicated naturally arise in the mind of the Negro voter with reference to him. What is their answer? Mr. Frank has lived in St. Louis from his youth up, having received his education in the schools of this city. He grew to manhood and began the practice of law in St. Louis where he now enjoys one of the most lucrative practices in the city and ranks as one of its best lawyers. He served two terms in Congress with credit to himself and benefit to his district, declining a third term because it became necessary for him to devote all of his time to his growing business. In all these years Mr. Frank has been known as a fair, upright and broad-minded man. Public spirited, generous and thoroughly dependable. As to the Negro, his record is of the best. When a young man he made a fight for better school conditions for Negroes in this city, and caused to be indicted and imprisoned the famous Jim Egan, after whom a political element known as "Egan's Rats" was named, for disfranchising the Negroes of the old Sixth Ward of St. Louis by having their names scratched off the poll books. He was one of the founders of the Provident Hospital of this city and gave the money for the Free Clinic for Negroes on Morgan Street. He was one of the bitter opponents of segregation and refused a long time before that nefarious measure became an issue to close his property to the Colored people. During his years of public service, and since, Mr. Frank has uniformly opposed measures of discrimination and acts of injustice toward all people without regard to race or color. He is a big, broad, fair-minded man with high ideals and a deep love for American ideals and principles. A man worthy of support and a friend of the people. If Mr. Frank is chosen senator from Missouri the Negroes of this state, and of the country, need have no fear that their interests will be neglected or that they will lack a voice of protest against attempted injustice or discrimination. If the Negro desires to have someone to whom he can look for assistance in matters governmental, he must help make that someone just as other elements do. It stands to reason that a man who owes his position to any great extent to the aid of any element of the people will feel bound to see it that they are protected and served. Here is a splendid opportunity for the Negroes of Missouri. There are 75,000 Negro voters in this state, and the man who gets the bulk of that vote will likely be nominated—and to be nominated on the Republican ticket this year means to be elected. Let's make a senator. Let's get behind Nathan Frank and put him over. He is the only candidate for senator who has considered the Negro vote of sufficient importance to make a special effort to get it. Give it to him. He will appreciate it and will not forget it. James C. Shaner, well known, is not to be forgotten, as the candidate for nomination on the Republican ticket for Judge of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction, Division No. 2. Mr. Shaner is a lawyer of note. He is a St. Louisan, graduated out of the schools here and has had large law practice. Will make a splendid judge. Mr. Frank's Record A Word of Advice DON'T FORGET SHANER While politicians are figuring and planning, let the voters be thinking about the kind of man they desire to vote into the office of Governor of the State of Missouri. Charles D. Morris, of St. Joseph, Mo., is a self-made man, a man of the people, of wide experience and liberal ideas. A son of a member of the original Republican party, he has upheld its principles and fought in its ranks, from the time he reached manhood's estate, to the present time. Conducting the campaign of 1896 as chairman of the Second District Congressional Committee when McKinley ran for President, he displayed marked ability as a master of detail. He served as a member of the Republican State Committee, and was elected at large in 1902. In 1904 as chairman of the Speakers' Bureau of the State Committee, he again displayed his great executive ability, seeding Lloyd Shultz Charles D. Morris speakers into every important corner of the state to expound the doctrines of the party, and again in 1908 he was selected chairman of the Sepakers Bureau, when Herbert S. Hadley was elected the first Republican Governor of the state in forty years. During all these years of service Mr. Morris has never been a candidate for office or sought political preference. His wide experience as the editor and owner of several newspapers has kept him in touch and sympathy with the great masses of the people, whose needs and right he has always championed and fought for. As Chairman of the State Committee in 1910, Mr. Morris proved his courage and fidelity to the Republican party in distinguished and untiring service, raising largely by personal appeal, more than $18,000 to fight the contest of Democrats, who sought to oust Republicans honestly elected to office. "Morris for Governor" should be the slogan of every thinking Republican voter, who desires to desires to see a man rewarded that stands high above all other candidates in point of faithful, active and consistent service to the Republican party. "Morris for Governor." EUGENE HALE. Eugene Hale is endorsed by leading lawyers as a very capable and efficient man for circuit attorney. Many who know him say that he is one of the best men on the ticket. On account of his ability and character for honesty his nomination will strengthen the ticket. VOTE FOR OSSING FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE Erwin G. Ossing is a favorite candidate for Circuit Judge. He is in the prime of life, has had most excellent and extensive practice in law. He comes out of what you might call the Lincoln stock of Republicans. His father responded to the call of Lincoln and went to the front to carry our flag for the Union and Negro freedom. Edwin G. Ossing has always shown himself a fair man. Color cuts no figure with him. Fair play for all is his motto. A vote for Ossing will not be misplaced and should he win you may be certain that the Negro has a fair man in court. BRINKOP FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR Christian Brinkop is a candidate for public administrator. He was president of the Board of Assessors for one term and came out of office with a clean record. During his term he employed several Negro clerks and thus fulfilled his promise in giving patronage to Negroes. His honesty is without question and he will render true account for all business put under his charge. MOSES HARTMANN Moses Hartmann for Circuit Judge will be no mistake. He is eminently fitted for the place. Up to date he seems to be the sure winner. You cannot regret supporting him. He is all right. An honest man, a good lawyer, a lover of the people and very even-balanced and fair-dealing. Just the man for the place. C. G.

Dr. Van Booven (formerly with Boston Dental Co.) The position of coroner is one which should be filled with the greatest care because of its peculiar functions. It 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 so 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 Hughes man 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 on the side of the party. It is useless to enumerate his good deeds for the city, the state and the nation. Men who know him will tell the story. His fair treatment of men without regard to race can be testified to by hundreds of the Negroes in St. Louis. Let us vote for Nathan Frank in the primary. He is capable and deserving—P. H. M. J. H. H. HANS WULFF Republican candidate for nomination for Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction No. 2, was born and educated in St. Louis and is devoted to the city and its development. He is active, broad-minded and capable. He is in the prime of life. Those who know him give him credit for being considerate in judgment and drawing no color line between races and nationalities. He is a winner. His nomination, already is one of the certainties of the campaign. P. H. M. with criminals. It has been a very easy matter for the political fixers 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 coroger'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. THE MEMORIAL JONES H. PARKER FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR. THE MAN FOR THE PLACE AND THE PLACE FOR THE MAN Among the worthy and well-qualified candidates that have filed on the Republican ticket for Public Administrator is Jones H. Parker. He is a lawyer with a most excellent reputation at the bar for both ability and honesty. He has rendered splendid service to the state, as a member of the legislature, favoring, introducing or helping in the passage of measures that always has had the tendency of benefiting the people. He is a people's man in the broadest sense; not allowing descent, nationality, color, race or class to have weight with his judgment, and the reason why we say that he would make a first-rate Public Administrator, is because in settling estates of small amounts he would not allow his office or legal cormorants to eat it up and leave the widow and orphans penniless. Such a man is needed as public administrator. Many poor estates come into his hands intestate, and he need be fair, square, humane and generous in administering them so as to see that a portion, at least, is given to the heirs. It is not a job to be conducted with partisan bias, but by just such a heart and just such a head as has marked the entire career of Jones H. Parker. It is often remarked that Jones H. Parker resembles in features the immortal Abraham Lincoln, but the physical resemblance, however close it may be, cannot be any nearer than is his moral sense; for the freedom from pomp, that geniality, that love of fellowman which made one the highest type of our American manhood dwells in goodly quantities in the other. The Negro, at least, must not forget that Mr. Parker was their friend in the legislature; stood by them in St. Louis when attempt was made to segregate them, and, as Public Administrator he will draw no lines on color, but administer even handed justice to all alike.

LOUIS ARGUS INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 23 PAUL AT CORINTH. GOLDEN TEXT-Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace. Acts 18:3. 1. Paul's Companiona. (vv. 1-6) Paul's coming to this city after his experiences in Athens is significant when we read I Cor. 2:1. 2. He found a home as usual at first among his Jewish countrymen. Aquila and Priscilla were not only fellow Christians but fellow craftsmans (v. 3). Paul supported himself, as Jesus did for 80 years, as a carpenter. This gave opportunity to reach the people naturally as one of them. At the same time he set them the example of doing good (I Cor. 10:31; I Cor. 9:6:12; II Thess. 2:9). Paul did not think it a lack of faith to do manual labor or secular work for his own support because God had called him to preach. In the midst of his labors (v. 5) Silas and Timothy came to him from Philippi and Berea. The Philippians had sent him aid and brought news of the abundant harvest of faith and love in that church. Paul was weak and sick and dejected in spirit (II Cor. 2:3), probably bodily sickness. He was also in want (II Cor. 11:9). As he meditated on the word, it had so got hold on him that he could not keep still. It overpowered him with the thought that Jesus was the Christ and that he must tell it out, but the Jews were not willing to receive his testimony. "They opposed themselves and blasphemed." (v. 6). The good news these helpers brought encouraged him in his conflict (v. 6). II. Paul's Compulsion. (vv. 7-11). The opposition of the Jews did not prove his testimony to be untrue or that it had been unwisely presented, but rather it revealed the laquity of the hearts of the men who were the religious leaders. To their faces Paul could exclaim, "I am clean," (v. 6). It is a great thing for any man to be able to say this, and it is the privilege of every believer (Acts 20:26). Then we can say with Paul: "I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God." (R. V.) If we do not declare unto the men the way of life, then their blood is upon us (Ezekiel 33:4, 8), but are we indeed clean of the blood of all in our own homes, in our churches, in our Sunday school classes, in our communities and in the lands beyond the sea? This compulsion disconnected Paul from the false religions of his day. "From henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles." The advantage of the house of Justus was (a) that the owner was a proselyte, not a born Jew. (b) The place was close to the syngogue so that his preaching would be a standing invitation to the Jews, and (c). Justus was evidently a Roman citizen, and Paul would gain access through him to the more educated people of the city. Moreover he would have greater advantage of the Romans than of the Jews for protection of the Christian converts. We do not infer that he left his lodgings in the home of Aquila and Priscilla nor ceased his work of tent mailing. Paul's testimony after Athens was based only on the cross (I Cor. 2:1, 2) and it was that which turned "impure, sinful souls into pure brides whom he conducted to Christ," (See I Cor. 6:9-11). This vision kept Paul in the city where he founded one of his strongest classes (vv. 11, 18). III. Paul's Contest, (vv. 12:17). Gallio, the brother of Seneca, listened to the charges, but threw the accusations out of court (vv. 14, 15). Sir William Ramsey calls this decision the "obarter of Christian freedom." Freedom of religious speech was granted over the entire Roman empire so far as Roman authorities were concerned, and the door was open for Paul to make his way throughout the civilized world: Thus we have further evidence that all of Corinth was no match for Christ. The Lord had people there who must be called by the spoken word, and Paul was the one to speak the word. The Lord only allows us to be hurt when both we and the work can be helped thereby. He never really allows us to be hurt (Rom. 8:13; Isaiah 54:17). Christian workers in this land are confronting the same Corinthian evils in every great city; intemperance., crime, graft, dishonesty, white slavery, oppression of the poor and other works of the flesh. It is the business of every preacher and Christian to pray and teach and work and live to save men from these evils and to convert them to right-ousness. There are also Corinthian evils in the heart, and in order to overcome them we must put on the whole armor of God, and be filled with the Spirit of Christ. Summary: At Corinth Paul worked at his trade, converted his fellow workmen, preached to Jews and Gentiles, founded a strong church, wrote letters to the Thessalonians, had two helpers, Silas and Timothy, accepted aid from the Philippians, received a vision in the night from God, was delivered by the Roman governor, stayed nearly two years and used the city as a strategic center. BY REV. JAMES M. GRAY, D.D. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—Lord I will follow thee, but—" Luke 9:11. This is what a good many people are saying in their hearts if not with PETER H. a turning away from things in which they now find profit or pleasure. They do not reckon on the fact that when they truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ they will receive a clean heart and have renewed within them a right spirit. When a man is thus regenerated he no longer wishes to do the things he used to do and finds it easy to follow Christ. In their struggle to put off the day of decision they frame various excuses, like the man of the text who, when our Lord said unto him: "Follow me," replied: "Lord I will follow thee, but let me first go bid them farewell, which, are at my home." Ordinarily there could be no objection to a man's doing that, but on this occasion the command of Christ was peremptory, and the man's action would determine at once whether he preferred his family to Christ. There comes a time in every man's life when he must decide this question, and determine in the presence of his own soul and in the presence of God whether God comes first or not. Hypocritea in the Church. 1. Some say there are so many hypocrites in the church, forgetting that there are many hypocrites in the business or profession by which they earn their livelihood, and yet they do not renounce that business or profession. A good way to meet this objection is to ask whether they think hypocrites will go to heaven? As they will certainly answer, no, then it might be asked whether they themselves can go to heaven without Christ. As they must reply to this question, as well as to the other, in the negative, they will be brought to see that they must dwell with hypocrites throughout eternity unless they become saved. The inquiry brings to mind the case of a certain man who was always giving this reason for not accepting Christ. And yet his faithful wife heard him cry in the night more than once: "God, be merciful to me, a sinner." It is a sad thing for a soul under conviction of sin, to cast away the hope of salvation for so filimay a reason as the presence of hypocrites in the visible church. Giving Up or Taking On, Which? 2. Others hesitate to accept Christ because they think they will have so much to give up. But they are ignorant of the fast that the Christian life is from every point of view a gain rather than a loss. You give up sin, but you take holiness. You give up sorrow, but you take joy. You give up death, but you take life. You give up self, but you take God. D. L. Moody used to tell of a soap manufacturer who was under conviction of sin, but hesitated to accept Christ. He pressed him for a reason, and at last he said it was his business that kept him back. "That soap," said he, "will do everything I claim for it, but the fact is it will destroy the clothes. Now if I accept Christ, I must give it up." Here was a plain issue which many another man has had to face, but what folly it is to hesitate a moment which way to decide! Moreover, many a man has given up his business for Christ and found afterward that Christ had a great deal better business to give him than he had ever dreamed of; for, as the Bible says, "Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." 2. "I am afraid I won't hold out," is another very common excuse. But the mistake here lies in the fact that the man is thinking of his own strength instead of the strength of the Savior. There is a Latin motto on the facade of a Y. M. C. A. building in New England that sets this truth before us very tersely and beautifully. The words are "Teneo et teneor," which means, "I hold and am held." It suggests the picture of a strong man with a child in his arm ascending a dangerous cliff. The child is clinging to the man, but it is because the man is holding the child that the latter makes the ascept with safety. In like manner the faith of the believer causes him to cling to Jesus Christ, but it is Jesus Christ that keeps and saves him to the end. Let us not be afraid to accept him as our Savior and follow him as our Lord. their lips. They know the Gospel plan of salvation. They know they must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved, and they know that when they do believe on him with their hearts they will follow him in their life and conduct. The latter is something they do not wish to do because it means I have no worry sleeping my dreams as Romy hans it always stays encased for I. use MAJORS Oxford Hair Dyes Little drops of water tithe grains of sand.
