SWANGER DENIES HE EVER VOT ED FOR JIM CROW The Republican mass meeting at Pythian Hall, Wednesday night; under the auspices of the Missouri Republican League Club was no doubt, the largest indoor affair of the campaign. Speeches were made by Mayor Kiel, Swanger, Schmoll, Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., and others. In his talk Mr. Swanger, who is a candidate for governor, denied he had ever supported a Jim Crow law or ever would. He pledged himself, if nominated and elected, to oppose any attempt at legislation that would discriminate against any class of citizens. He was endorsed for Governor by the big gathering. CROWDS HEAR MISS FREEMAN The N. A. A. C. P. gave Miss Freeman a large audience last Monday night at Pythian Hall. Miss Freeman brought a burning message to her hearers which was enthusiastically received. She told them of the great need of an organized determined fight against lawlessness in this country. She pointed out the work done by the National Association for the advancement of Colored people and asked the co-operation of the local branch. Nearly $200 was raised to help the cause.

Detroit and Canada being her principal stops. While at Detroit, she was the guest of Mrs. Carrie Wilkerson-Hueston. She was also entertained by Mrs. Mamie Jennison, formerly of this city, at her beautiful home on Benton St. She reports a pleasant trip; and while it was not a strictly business trip, yet she did quite a bit of work in her line. She states that she was so well pleased with the outlook, that she will open branch parlors in Detroit and Chicago in the near future.

Lloyd, Grand Chancellor of Missouri, Knights of Pythias at Macon, Mo., Thursday, after a stormy session. Extra River Party By New Orpheus Academy Extra River Party By New Orpheus Academy Mr. Jas. W. Grant announces that Monday, Aug. 7, has been secured for another boat outing by the New Orpheus Academy. The proposed deal with the Great Western Club fell through and Capt.

Now the Academy patrons and their friends will have an opportunity to get together on the Grey Eagle Monday night, August 7.

REDEMPTION OF SOULS SPIRITUAL CHURCH Since the uniting of the two churches, 2837 Market St. and 2641 Lucas Ave., all meetings will be held at 2641 Lucas Ave. Mrs. Julia Johnson, Oracle, of The Redemption of Souls Spiritualist Church at the above named address, is becoming one of the most popular meeting places in the city. Mrs. Johnson, who is the Oracle, seems to be the right woman for the place. People who go there are loud in their praise of her work. Hundreds attend the seances and get in touch with the Spirit World. It is remarkable and if you have never been there you ought to go. The place is usually crowded at each meeting and you must go early to get a seat. On account of the wide interest which is being manifested in the work which Mrs. Julia Johnson is doing, and feeling that she owes it to the many, people who desire a more intimate knowledge of things spiritual, she has concluded to hold a seance every night in the week for the next two weeks or longer if necessary to give the people a clear idea of her work. Besides the every night meeting, services are held at 11:30 every Sunday morning. At 7:30 p.m. the services begin each night. Don't forget the place, 2641 Lucas Ave. Every night for the next two weeks, beginning Sunday. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1916 NEGROES INDORSE LEIGHTON SHIELDS Mr. Leighton Shields, candidate for Circuit Attorney before the Republican primary, August 1st, has been endorsed by some of the Colored people of this city for that important office. His known spirit of fairness and his willingness to give them a square deal in that office have swung them to him, and it is projected that he will receive the bulk of the Negro vote. The following are some of the names of Negro citizens who have endorsed Mr. Shields and the petition which they signed in so doing: Shields for Circuit Attorney For the position of Circuit Attorney we endorse Leighton Shields. Next to Governor the office of Circuit Attorney is one of the most important to be filled at the coming election. An efficient Circuit Attorney is a guarantee that you will be protected against the house breaker, the highwayman, and the thug. A fair-minded Circuit Attorney who sympathizes with the working people is a guarantee that the office will not be used for oppression of the Negro. If a man is elected unfriendly to the Negro, the office will be used to persecute the Negro. We want a Prosecutor, not a Persecutor. We earnestly recommend and endorse for your vote Leighton Shields. He is a capable lawyer, a stauch Republican, and will give a square deal to all. Pass the good word along to your friends. Geo. L. Vaughn, Dr. A. W. Cheatham, Paul Mosley, R. H. Stanton, Dr. R. C.

The poles will be open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. Every registered voter should be sure and cast a ballot, selecting strong, competent and reliable men that will lead the Republican party to victory in November. JIM CROW BILL Lawyer Accuses John E. Swanger, Candidate for Governor, of Supporting Jim Crow Legislation and Opposition to Colored Clerks in Legislature, Letter Sent Throughout State. Below is a letter being sent throughout the state to prominent men calling their attention to the qualifications of the two men running for governor, on the Republican ticket, by Homer G. Phillips, lawyer, who asserts that statements contained therein are true and can be proven if any one so desires. The letter: Dear Sir: I am writing you, as one of the representative Colored leaders of your community, to interest you in the candidacy of Judge Henry Lamm, of Sedalia, Missouri, for Governor. At the outset permit me to say, that there is no desire upon my part to have you mix in politics, but conditions are such that it becomes necessary that an appeal be made to all classes of citizens to join in an effort to nominate true and tried men, who are friends of our race, and to defeat men who are not. My acquaintance with Judge Lamm, extends over a period of twenty-five years, and during all of this time, he has been an uncompromising believer in right and justice to all men. His ten years service as a member of the Supreme Court of this state, and his decisions upon every matter where the rights of Colored people were involved, commend him to the favorable consideration of every Colored Republican. To those who know him best there is an enthusiastic desire to see a man holding the high and lofty principles of right and justice, Governor of this State. His chief competitor for this nomination is Mr. John E. Swanger, whom I have known for past fourteen years, and I have no hesitancy in saying that Mr. Swanger, based upon his attitude in the past relative to Colored citizens, is not entitled to, nor should he receive the support of the Colored voters of this State. In a letter of this kind it is impossible to enumerate, and yet I feel that I ought to specify to some extent Mr. Swanger's opposition to the employment of Negro clerks, when the Republican controlled the Legislature, his favoring the passage of the Jim Crow Bill, that was before the Missouri Legislature, his voting with the Democratic members of the Board of Regents of Lincoln Institute, thereby giving his approval to the bad condition known to exist at this institution, ought to condemn him before all moral minded citizens of this State, and it certainly would be a calamity and a backward step for him to be the Governor of Missouri. I am appealing to you to join actively with the others of this State, familiar with the conditions, to bend your aid in bringing about the defeat of Swanger. I earnestly invite your cooperation and beg an immediate reply. COURT OF CRIMINAL CORRECTION Chaucey J. Kreuger is the man for the place. He is well known by the Colored people of this city, having served four years as Justice of the Pence of the fourth district, during which time he tried thousands of cases, few of which ever met any criticism or appeals. He was fair and just to all men. He will be the same as Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction. Vote for him. Special Rally Christian Church 2727 Lawton Av. There will be a special rally for the benefit of the building fund on Friday evening, Aug. 11th. Some of the best mediums in the city will be present to bring a message for all who will attend. The public generally is invited to come and take part with them. Refreshments will be served free to all. J S. Weatherford, Rector; $^{4}$ R. Duke, Secretary. Advertise in The Augus AL NOTES the Primary election day. The poles 7 p. m. Every registered voter not, selecting strong, competent and Republican party to victory in No- Don't Fail To Vote For Circuit Judge Rassieur Judge Leo, S. Rassieur, who is a candidate to succeed himself as Circuit Judge should receive the vote of every Colored voter in St. Louis at the primaries next Tuesday, Aug. 1st, because he is absolutely right on the race question. Judge Rassieur always has the courage of his convictions and in rendering his decisions is entirely free from moral cowardice and religious or political bias. His righteous and unhesitating course in the trial of the Turpin-Powers election contest, which resulted in a verdict in favor of Constable Charles Turpin, and also in the $10,000 damage suit against Colored property owners on Cook avenue from the alleged depreciation of values which he promptly dismissed, shows him to be an upright and impartial jurist. If the Colored voters do their duty next Tuesday, Judge Rassieur will receive the highest vote of any of the twenty-five candidates for the Republican nomination for Judge of the Circuit Court. Judge Rassieur's record as a circuit judge is without a blemish. He has the respect of all classes on account of his reputation for fairness. He is also personally popular on account of his clean life and amiability of character and his unwavering devotion to Republican principles. VOTE FOR WEINBRENNER FOR SHERIPF. Mr. Weinbrenner is too well known to the Negroes of this city for any lengthy comment. For as most of you know, that the Police Courts today, no doubt, would have the Jim Crow signs in them, had it not been for Mr. Weinbrenner, who when Judge Carl Rimmell, Police Judge, ordered such signs to be put up in his court, that big hearted man, George Weinbrenner ordered them down and gave the Judge a good "calling down" saying that "a man is a man for all that." He will do the right thing if elected. WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR JOSEPH WHELESS FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE Mr. Wheless in the first place is well qualified by experience and practice in law. He is well informed, BIG hearted, a lover of justice and right toward all men, regardless of race or creed. He showed his position toward the Negro in the recent segregation fight, here, by doing all in his power to prevent such laws being passed in this city. He is a member of the Board of Managers of Bartlett School for Colored people, at Dalton, Mo., and has proved himself a square man. You will make no mistake by voting for him. VOTE FOR L. C. DYER FOR CONGRESS FORM THE TWELFTH DISTRICT "The People's Friend" is the reputation sustained by the Hon. L. C. Dyer. Whether in Congress or at home, he is never "too busy" to hear the wishes of the people. He is not satisfied to only respond to the calls that may be made upon him, but he is always looking out for the welfare of the city, state and nation. Mr. Dyer is the "watchman on the wall." He has always been mindful when any legislation came up that threatened the welfare of the Colored people in this country; and had attacked it with all his soul. Such a man is a true representative of the people. He has done much for the Negro race; and our greatest concern should be a few more in Congress like L. C. Dyer. VOTE FOR FRANK M. SLATER FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR "The Seventeenth Ward Benefactor" is what he is commonly called by the "boys." Mr. Slater has filled every place that he has been given by the voters of the people with credit not to him, alone, but to his constituency. He has gone to the front for the men in the ward when called upon; and he is asking for the office of Public Administrator on his record. He has made good. Vote for him. Committee-man of the Seventeenth Ward. UNPAVORABLE CHRISTIAN BRINKOP who is a candidate for Public Administrator. WILLIAM ZACHRITZ, who is a candidate for Cirquit Judge.

A man’s real at titude 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 in- terest to appear favorable toward it. Therefore, words said in the light of 4n approaching election at which « candidate seeks the votes of the people are not tobe’ given the weight o1 ‘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. whoth- er or not the man socking the benefit of his aan is 9 safe man to in- trust with his (the Negro’s) interests and liberty. Will he be fair? Will he favor discrimination and injustice to- wards the black man because of bis color? These are the questions which the Negro voter asks himself in addi- tion 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 -qucstions~the -Negro-sitouhd=kaow;-ant 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 de- moeracy 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 Nogro, so much the better; but he should not make that a condition of hia support. i Mr. Frank's Record 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 Repub- licans and those who are friendly to the things for ‘which he stands. The ques- tions above indicated naturally arise in the mind of the Negro voter with refer- ence 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 him- self and benefit to his district, ‘declin- ing a third term because it “became necessary for him to devote all of his time to his growing business. In all these years Mr. Franls 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 inflicted and im- prisoned the famous Jim Egan, after whom a. political element known as “Egan’s Rats’. was named, for dis- franchising the Negroes of the old Sixth Ward of St. Louis by having’ their names scratehed off the poll books. He was-one of the founders of vhe 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 segregu: tion and refused a long time before that nefarious measure became an is- sue to close his ‘property to the Colored people: . During his years of public serv- jee, and since, Mr. Frank has uniformly spposed._measures of discrimination und ets of injustice toward all people without regard to race or color. . He is » big, broad, fair-minded man with high deals and a deep love for’ American ideals and principles. A man worthy nf support apd a friend of the people. if Mr. Frank 1s chosen senator from Missouri the Negroes of this state, and of the country, need have no fear that rheir interests will berneglected or that they will luck = voice of-protest against attempted injustice or discrimination. A Worl of Advice . If the'Negro desires to have someone 10 whom he can look for assistance in matters governmental, he must help make that @Mmeone just aa other ele- ments do. “It stands to reason’ that « fan who owes his position toany great sxtont to the aid of any olement of the people will feck bound to see to it that hey are protected and served.

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 phnciples and fought in its ranks, from the time he reached manhood’s estate to the present time, Condueting the campaign of 1996 as chairman of the Second Distriet Con. gressional Committee when MeKinley Tin for President, he displayed marked lability as a master of detail, | Ile served as a member of the Re.

Hadley was elect- ed the first Republican Governor of the state in forty years." ” During all these yeara of service Mr. Morris has never been a candidate for office or ‘sought political _prefer- ence, : His wide experience as the editor and owner of several nowspapers has Kept him in touch and sympathy with the great masses of the people,, whose needs and right be has always cham- pioned and fought for. ‘As Chairman of the ‘State Committee in 1910, Mr. Morris proved his courage and fidelity to the Republicin party in distinguish- ed 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 Gover- nor’? should be tho 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 con- sistent service to the Republican party. ‘Morris for Governor.’? . |, ©.

Tt should be filled by a brdad-minded, upright, fearless, Christian man; one who, in discharging his official duties will enforee. the law regardless of whether it be a Jew or gentile. ~ The Colored pepole should be vitally inter. ested in-the election of a coroner who will consider the life of a Negro the life of s human being, and whén a Negro is involved, enforce the law just 48 vigorously as when white people are concerned, i 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 representa. tive to Congress from the 12th district of Miasouri took his seat in that body in 1889 he at once attracted attention, His loyal training and-broad and com. prehensive views on national issues gained for him much appreciation and placed his.namein.the sank-of-eminent lawyers and statesmen. “After Mr. Frank retired from Congress he still maintained @ deep interest in the suc- cess of the Republican Party, and, has always been at the beck and call of kis party for any service that he was quilified to render them, and this serv- ice he often rendered freely, ‘If fitness, springing out’ of experi- ence and moral and intellectual train- ing and sorvice to the nation ‘und party is a+ necessary qualification for U. 8.

The cry of preparedness, as started under the supposition of impending war, has spread and is being applied to many other things. Recently a large body of Negroes met at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church and raised the "hue and cry" for the Negro to prepare by consolidation in business, by combination in improvement in domestic and industrial activity and economics, and by that general development which will place any class of people in a position to command respect. These are all "glittering generalities" that we dilate and expatiate on endlessly. We need particulars. We must prepare a bill of specifications. In the way of preparedness what will that bill be—pienies, parades, garish shows, pool rooms and businesses based upon the frivolties and superfluities of life? Or shall the preparedness that we make have regard to the practical training of youth, both school and home training, to the accumulation of substantial values, the ownership of lands and homes, the development of a finer moral sense and the more prudent constitution of habit? Too much emphasis must not be put upon race or race pride; the emphasis should be put upon the man or man pride, and the object should be his training along the line of his most useful capabilities. Remember the race issue is a side issue, and the points approaching perfection can only be reached as we blend and interblend with the various excellencies of the civilization which surround us. You cannot make a great Negro in the United States, or a great Englishman, Irishman, or German. The moment either become great they become American. The English journals wrote of Frederick Douglass when he died, that he was a great American, and his color did not detract from his birth or the character of the manners, statesmanship, religion, and habits, which Americanized him. Now in our preparedness let us prepare to be a great and desirable American element, to buy, to occupy lands, to build, to manufacture, to sell, to make happy homes, to learn the trades, to till the soil and produce and gather, and, whenever the opening exists, to go into the same market with the other races and compete in the sale or purchase of the commodities. Prepare to look the other races in the face and command their respect and patronage; prepare to throw aside the crude superstitions and "niggerish" manners which came with us from slavery into freedom, and stand forth a full-fledged man in the image of the Creator of all. ```markdown ``` MADAM EVERLAH HORTON Look!

Weir ERT G. J Circuit Attorn SEEBERT G. JONES For Circuit Attorney Copyright B.J.C. SPRATES ST. LOUIS Mr. Seebert G. Jones, candidate on the Republican ticket, for the nomination for Circuit Attorney to be voted for at the August Primary, is a selfmade man, and his candidacy should be looked upon favorably by all classes. Mr. Jones was raised in a small country town and earned money to go to college by working first in a brick yard, and then at school carrying coal up the back steps for his board. He came to St. Louis in the summer of 1898 and started in to practice law, and in 1905 was appointed Assistant Circuit Attorney by Arthur N. Sager, then Citeit Attorney. His services were so satisfactory there, that in the fall of 1908 he was elected Circuit Attorney on the Republican ticket by a plurality of 19,000 votes, running 3,000 votes ahead of Taft for President, and Hadley for Governor. Mr. Jones during the time he was Circuit Attorney treated everybody fairly and it is a common expression among people now, that Seebert Jones when he was Circuit Attorney was never too busy to hear the complaint of every man, woman or child, and how ever poor or obscure socially they were, and that he was strong on prosecuting NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION The National Baptist Convention will be held at Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 6-12, 1916.

That he believes in "the live and let live policy," and believes that if public officials would spend their time in looking after real criminals instead of running after reformers and crusaders, and trying to make people, in their daily life live any particular way, that the world would be better off—in othed words, Mr. Jones takes a broad, liberal view of life, and during the eight years of official life he handled all matter that came before him, in a broad-minded, liberal and fair manner. That in his public or private life he is not aligned or connected in any way with the public service corporations, but that his clients are made up out of the masses of the people, and, by training and inclination he is well equipped to champion the cause of the people, and represent them in the capacity to which he aspires. Your vote for Seeebert Jones will be well placed, as one can rest assured that in the event he is elected to the office of Circuit Attorney, that all classes will receive from him a fair deal. According to a statement made by S. E. Howard, a plan is on foot to open an exhibition at 2116 Market Street about September 20, which will run for two months.

The unstable qualities of highways in the wild parts of the West were explained in a letter mailed by State Engineer John H. Lewis of Oregon to the department of agriculture at Washington. Mystified federal officials had asked him to account for the disappearing of 320 miles of highway in Lincoln county and for the addition of 2,000 miles in Malheur county, as indicated in the last report from Oregon. Mr. Lewis forwarded the query to the counties concerned. R. R. Miller of the Lincoln county court explained that the previous report was made when the tide was out and there was 320 miles of good highway along the beach. Unfortunately when the last report was made the tide was in. Malheur county officials explained that a highway can easily be made by a wagon train crossing the unmarked sage brush plain. China to Take Western Advice. An interesting development in China is the formation of a political council at which foreign advisers will have voice and vote. These foreign advisers have hitherto been retained at big salaries by the Chinese government, but their advice has seldom been sought and more seldom followed, unless it happened to coincide with the plans of the Chinese themselves. Doctor Goodnow's famous memorandum on the advantages of a monarchy is an example of the use that was made of foreign advisers. He wrote this as an academic discussion of the question on the theoretical basis. It was immediately published to the world as proof that a distinguished republican advocated a monarchy for China. Generally those advisers have drawn their salaries in return for valuable papers on various needed reforms which were gratefully accepted and buried in some pigeonhole of the foreign office. The formation of the new council will bring the ministers in actual touch with the arguments of the foreign advisers and will provide them with some new ideas.

CARONDELET NEWS By REV. L. W. GOSNELL Superintendent of Men, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body—James 3.2. Speech is a distinguishing gift of man. Said a witty German: "I will believe that an animal thinks when he tells me so." The world would be a strange place if we could not talk, yet what a world it is because we can talk! The difficulty of controlling speech is pointed out in our text, and those who have been striving longest for perfection appreciate most fully believe that an animal thinks when he tells me so." The world would be a strange place if we could not talk, yet what a world it is because we can talk! The difficulty of controlling speech is pointed out in our text, and those who have been striving longest for perfection appreciate most fully this difficulty. It will be worth while to follow the discussion of the tongue which is found in the succeeding verses of the third chapter of James. First of all, James speaks of the power of this "little member which boasteth great things" (vv. 3, 4). Like the bit in the horse's mouth which enables us to turn the whole body, or the tiny rudder of the ship, which directs its course through the stormy deep, so the tongue is a great power in the guidance of life. We marvel when we see the multitude swayed by the speech of the preacher or the voice of the singer. We need only to mention Magna Charta, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation proclamation or Luther's Theses, to be impressed with the power of even written words. But James goes on to speak of the mischief which may be wrought by the tongue (vv. 5, 6). It is like a little fire kindling a great forest. A venomous tongue hurts not only others, but oneself; James says: "It defileth the whole body," and we may be certain that so long as an evil thought injures the spirit, we cannot escape from our evil words. Hedges About the Tongue. An old writer says: "We may see the cunning and curious work of nature which hath barred and hedged nothing in so strongly as the tongue, with two rows of teeth and therewith two lips; besides, she hath placed it far from the heart, that it should not utter that which the heart conceived." James goes on to speak of the untamabileness of the tongue (vv. 7, 8). Every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, has been tamed by man, but the tongue can no man tame, although God can do even this thing. Even after regeneration, wrong habits of speech will assert their sway. How easily the oath springs to the lips of the aforetime blasphemer! Finally, James speaks of the inconsistency of the tongue (vv. 9-12). Therewith we bless God and yet curse men, made in his image; one has put it, such abusive railing against men is like spitting on the statue of the emperor whom we profess to honor. Even nature rebukes us for such inconsistency, for no fountain sends forth both sweet water and bitter. Aesop, the writer of fables, was a slave. He was once ordered by his master to procure the best things in the market for dinner, and served course after course of tongues. He argued: "Is there anything better than a tongue? Is not the tongue the bond of civil society, the organ of truth and reason and the organ of our praise and the adoration of the gods?" The slave's master directed that the next day he should buy the worst things he could find, and again he brought tongues. This time he reasoned: "The tongue is surely the worst thing in the world. It is the instrument of all strife and contention, the inventor of lawsuits, and the source of divisions and wars; it is the organ of error, of lies, of calumny and blasphemies." . This inconsistency of the tongue appears in the lives of those who even do many deeds of kindness. This was quantily set forth by an old lady who said to her, grandchildren: "If you're going to give me a pan of milk, don't skim it first." They found she meant that when a favor was done for her, she disliked to have it spolled by an unugracious word. "Another errand? I never go downtown without half a dozen commissions." The boy gets the book and really doesn't mind, but he has skimmed the milk. "These gloves ripped again! It seems they always need mending when I am in a hurry." She really wants to keep the gloves neat, but she skims the milk. What a solemn word James speaks in the first chapter of his epistle (v. 26): "If any man among you seemeth to be religious and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain." How glad we should be that we have our Helper. One of whom it is said that "he opened not his mouth," when it was a time for allence, but of whom it is said also that the people "wondered at the gracious words/ which proceeded out of his mouth."

JONES, candidate for Public Administrator on Republican ticket says, "A fee system which permits any man to make that much money is 'vicious.' He will urge the Legislature to put this office on a salary. Nominate a man August 1st who will protect your widow and children. He is a director of the City Club and a director of the Young Men's Christian Association for all the branches in St. Louis (including Colored branch). He will handle your estate properly. Ask for the Republican ticket and leave unscratched the name of WILBUR B. JONES. SAM LEARS FOR REPRESENTA TIVE Sam Lears, Republican candidate for State Representative, Sixth District, is a thoroughly reliable party man, an active and conscientious opponent of any kind of class legislation. He should be elected. Judge James E. Withrow, whose name is a household word among Republicans in St. Louis, is a candidate again for nominee on the Republican ticket for Judge on the Circuit bench. Judge Withrow claims the nomination on his experience and merits. He is the nester of the bench and has ruled with conspicuous success in many terms of Circuit Court. Judge Withrow has always won and always added strength to the party. Franklin Ferris is one Missouri's greatest lawyers. In his earlier career at the bar he was associated with our most eminent lawyers and since then he has had a long experience as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Missouri. Mr. Ferris is a life long Republican, and has freely given some of the best years of his life to the success of his party. On the question of experience, ability, honesty and racial impartiality you will make no mistake in voting for Franklin Ferris for Judge of the Circuit Court. He is too big a man to be bothered by your color or race and his decisions will all be based on the "Equality of all men before the law." Vote for Judge Ferris. Granville Hogan is a fine type of the go-a-head young American. He feels the dominant life of the nation in his veins. He is active, takes front position, and advances the cause of right. He is a fair and just judge. He does not favor any form of deprivation or oppression based on color. Some time ago when the Jitney Carrier Co., Jim-crowed the Negro and the case came before Judge Hogan he turned the Jitney Jim-crowism down and thus nipped in the bud what might have finally turned into the segregation of Negroes on the street cars. Judge Granville Hogan is now a candidate for Circuit Attorney, a position that he is well qualified to fill. Because he is broad-minded he will see that the defendant as well as the plaintiff will have all the benefits of the law, will save the docket from useless trials and cause-less cases; will deal fairly with all, above all, will not allow a man's color to swerve him in the conduct of the case. If you want a young, vigorous, capable and fair-minded man to prosecute the cases vote for Granville Hogan. Truman Post Young! That name sounds all right. It brings memories of an ancestry three generations back, an ancestry that contributed much to the moral and civic growth of St. Louis. But we are not dealing with ancestry now, we are concerned about Truman Post Young of today. He is in the prime of life, broad-brained and energetic, with the laurels of one of the greatest legal victories decorating his brow. Young has been fighting the mill-tax case. He has been up against the finest, most seasoned legal talent in St. Louis, and his side won and turned over to the city nearly $2,000,000 of money that otherwise might have swelled the coffers of the fat corporations. It was Lawyer Young, too, DR. PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER 25c Postpaid Whitens and Clears dark and brown skin. Bleaches sallow or dark complexion, causing it to grow whiter. Get the original.

Do you wonder now, that with such a record the people are insisting that Truman Post Young, is a well-qualified man to elect Circuit Judge! Vote for him and you will make no mistake. John F. Willmann, candidate for Sheriff of St. Louis County is a sure winner. He is a friend of the Negro and they will vote for him. He will treat them just like other citizens of the county. Vote for him. William Zachritz is a candidate for nomination for Judge of the Circuit Court. He has been known for years as one of the most faithful Republicans in St. Louis. He served one term on the bench and made a record of which both himself and the party can be proud. He has been a fearless Judge and not a single instance can be pointed out in his judicial career in which he, in his decisions showed any race feeling. The case about which a few persons think he acted improperly is shown now to have been properly handled by Judge Zachritz because the convict has made confession. What the bench needs is experience. Judge Zachritz is experienced, proven and reliable. It is fortunate that the party has such a fine class of such men to draw its candidates from. Don't be swaved backward and forward by loose tongued talk. We know Zachritz—he has proven himself—and now with his world of experience he is well qualified for Judge. Vote for him. WEINBRENNET FOR SHERIFF By Robert James M. B. George P. Weinbrenner, candidate for Republican nomination for Sheriff, election August 1st, is a well known and highly esteemed citizen of St. Louis. I have known him for thirty-five years and worked with him at the Hart Metal Works, where he occupied a foreman's plate and, as is his usual habit, worked hard and faithfully for the success of the business. Mr. Weinbrenner is outspoken, fair, square and generous. He treats all of those under him as equals and does not allow color or race to have weight in his judgment of men. When he was City Marshal and the Judge of the First Polioe District Court put up, signs segregating Negroes in his court room, Marshal Weinbreuner tore down the signs and declared that Negroes nor nobody else should be segregated in the city courts as long as he was marshal. This idea of fairness has run all through his life and made him one of the most popular Republicans in the city. Mr. Weinbreuner has been a Republican all of his life; always working for the party, always giving to the party and always sustaining and advocating its principles. The Colored voters who know him will vote for him, because they know of his past deeds. DON'T FORGET SHANER 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. Louisian, graduated out of the schools here and has had large law practice. Will make a splendid judge. I have no worry excepting my dress-as for my hair.

SLATER Candidate for PUBLIC ADMINISTATOR THEATRES THEATRES BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE PLAYING TO CAPACITY HOUSES THIS WEEK Crowded to the door is the Booker Washington Theatre this week on account of the extra attractions Mr. Turpin is offering. Patrons are enjoying the Bert Williams comedy photo-play "A Natural Born Gambler." Bert is seen in his famous Poker pantomime. The scene is set-in a club—where a raid takes place and Williams has to "do time." On the vaudeville program, Jones and Jones are a riot of fun. Their arguments are full of wit and humor, singing good and dancing both artistic and eccentric. Harris Blackburn, a monologist has a rich repertoire of songs, dances and new jokes. He is winning applause. Fairfax and Stafford close the show with practically the same act they appeared herein some time ago. Madam Fairfax excels with her sweet singing and excellent'playing. Mr. Stafford is a good dancer and graceful. The net goes big. Next Week The Mills-Frisby Stock Company, featuring the famous Colored American Comedian, just returning from Italy, where she was a star on the stage and in film pictures of the Milano Italia Film Co., will be the attraction, in musical comedy, at the Booker Washington Theatre next week. This is an exceptionally clever bunch of all star artists and will surely make good here. Rastus Brown, buck dancer, is with the Jarvis Comedy Co., Flat River, Mo., this week. Calem, Ill., next. Jim Johnson, merchant of Goldfield, Nevada, visited Tom Turpin while in town this week.

Statisticians and sociologists are extremely pessimistic regarding marriage and race deterioration after the war. The tragedy of two women of marriageable age to one man of marriageable age and the killing off in the war of the best blood give rise to this apprehension. But along comes an optimist with a "bright and shiny" outlook for race perfection and for women with unquestioned physical perfections—but sad, very sad, indeed, for the girl whose nose happens to turn up at an angle not consistent with the sculptor's original pattern or whose mouth covers no grotto of pearls or whose figure shies of "perfect 36" requirements. The basis of his optimism is that women are chosen in marriage for their physical perfections and are left to die in spinisterhood lacking these. "Therefore," says he. "If we take a community in which 5,000,000 men and 5,000,000 women lived before the war began and 1,000,000 of the men are killed or hopelessly crippled in action there will remain 5,000,000 women for 4,000,000 men to choose from. The result will be that 1,000,000 women—the most physically unfit—will remain unmarried and they will offset the race loss of the million men killed and crippled in war! The 4,000,000 women who are chosen, eugenically speaking, will rebuild a healthy, wholesome, and more physically perfect race." The man who buys second-hand automobile tires and starts out on a thousand-mile trip qualifies for the Optimists' club. St. Louis astronomers report seeing new sun spots. Maybe European powers really at last are finding their coveted places in the sun. The command to increase and multiply is a back number. Now the increase is brought about by the divorce judge, who makes two of one. The woman who is continually lecturing her husband either considers him a fool or else she has forgotten that a word to the wise is sufficient. The war is demonstrating that because a man happens to be born a prince or a peer, it does not necessarily follow that he is a born general. WORK, GOTHAM'S CRACK BASE-ALL OPEN FIVE GAME SERIES.

Read The Following And Ask Yourself Where You Should Buy Here are four good reasons why you should buy your piano from me: (1.) I sell as cheap as any one in St. Louis. (2.) You benefit me, yourself and your children. You pave the way for future employment of young men and women by helping to develop Negro enterprise. (3.) You get individual attention with courtesy that knows no discrimination. Your wife or daughter does not have to face the humiliation of being overlooked until some white customer has been waited on. (4.) Any broad-minded Colored person, in view of recent un-American prejudices, which have only been halted in the courts, should decide it is wise to keep his money, as near as possible, circulating among his own race.

Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated limb of this most interesting man whose journey of lih has already taken him through all the mowned paychel schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know.
