Atlanta has just broken ground for her new $100,000 Young Men's Christian Association building. On Tuesday, August 29th, a line of march formed at the old Y. M. C. A. building on Auburn avenue in Atlanta, lined by the Leland Georgia Regiment Band and the Century Lodge Band. The ministers of the city in a body and the officers of the Y. M. C. A. marched to their new lot on Butler street, and there broke ground for the building which is to mean so much for the life of Atlanta. The men of Atlanta have been struggling for several years for this new building, and when the time had expired on Mr. Rosenwald's offer, they met and in one meeting at the Coliseum put down $8,000 to balance the amount which the Colored people were to raise. The erection of the new $100,000 building for Atlanta will make the seventh building of its kind to be erected. The race for the eighth building lies between St. Louis, Nashville and New York, each of which cities is on the way. The citizens of St. Louis can well congratulate Atlanta for the marvelous success, and hope and work to the end that St. Louis may be the eighth city. ST. LOUIS BOY PASSES THE EXAMINATION Edward Turner recently took the examination in Mechano-Therapy and successfully passed with a high per cent. He is now ready to practice his profession.

It is the welcome medium through which I can keep in touch with my old home town." Get the idea, subscribe and send it to a friend who is away. Will Hold Annual Conference in Douglas Arinous. Churches in Florishing Condition. (Special to The St. Louis Argus.) Nashville, Tenn., August 30—Bishop Phillips, the distinguished prelate of the C. M. E. Church, left the city several days ago for the Golden West. His itinerary will cover New Mexico, Arizona and California, where he goes to inspect the work and hold the annual conferences in Douglas, Arizona, September 27. "It will be recalled that Bishop Philips raised $3,000 during the Educational and Missionary Convocation at Paducah, Ky., the latter part of July. This money will be used to further the work of missions and to assist churches otherwise in debt. When it is considered that the fourth episcopal district is a great deal smaller than any of his colleagues, he is easily classed as the "Money King" bishop of his church Bishop Phillips will deliver several important sermons and lectures throughout the west and he will be heard by large crowds with pleasure and profit. On two occasions Bishop Phillips delivered addresses in different parts of Europe that elicited favorable comment from the press and public. He has also lectured to distinguished American mixed audiences. The Golden West always extends Bishop Phillips a cordial welcome and he will be elaborately entertained by his host of friends and admirers. He will return to Nashville during the early part of October. Miss Lady Emma Louise Phillips accompanied the bishop as far as St. Louis, Mo., where she will remain with her sister and brother-in-law, Dr. and Mra. Ivan C. James, until his return. Dr. James recently passed the Missouri Dental Board with a very high average and is now practicing in St. Louis. It will be remembered that Bishop Phillips has two sons who are physicians. Dr. J. T. Phillips, of this city, may frequently be seen visiting his patients in his new Ford, while Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., St. Louis, Mo., makes calls in his new Dodge Brothers roadside one of the most attractive cars owned by a Colored physician in St. Louis. The Phillips Brothers have "made good" and are active in every movement that tends to the social uplift of the race. The Phillips family is one of the most polished in the Southland and is greatly appreciated at home and abroad. REUNION SERVICES AT LANE TABERNACLE SUNDAY Now that the members and friends are returning home from their summer vacation a great reunion service will be held Sunday at 11 a. m. and at 8 p. m. for the benefit of those who cannot attend the morning service. Dr. Smith will have for his subject morning, "The Friendship of a Living Christ," and at night, subject, "The Disciples in a Storm." The choir will furnish special music. The choir is doing fine with Prof. Tyler, directing The Fall Rally will be on the second Sunday in October. Every captain and lieutenant is expected to do his best. Watch, for the announcement of the troley party September 12, by the 12 clubs. Every member and friend will be expected at church Sunday. Visitors are always welcome. The pastor and family have removed from 4255 Fisher 3832 Cook Ave., where they will be glad to have the members and friends call. NEW COLORED FIRM IN THE CATERING BUSINESS The attractive confectionery on the southeast corner of Sarah and Fairlax has been purchased by Goodrich and Orme, two progressive young Colored men. They have added a cafe service to the business and are now prepared to serve regular meals, lunches, sandwiches, candies of all kinds, ice cream sodas, soft drinks, cigars and tobacco at all hours. The location is convenient for west end patrons and the newly arranged place is the most artistic since the days of the famous Silver Grill.

A Hundred Bushels of Coal We observed a hundred bushels of coal in a shed and was told that our own Dr. William L. Perry, who has done much for charities, had sent the coal as his usual custom. Alley Being Constructed. The city is constructing an alley in the rear of the home and has assessed the property $330. The management has just finished paying over $200 sewer tax, and this coming on them has made their burden heavy. Four Hundred People Wanted We should like to suggest that a popular subscription pay this alley tax. Four hundred persons giving $1.00 will pay for the alley and some of the necessary repairs. Children, clubs, churches, societies and other organizations are asked to help. The editor of the Argus will start the fund with $1.00. All who will help may send the dollar direct to the home 4316 Natural Bridge Road or the Argus office. The names with the amounts will be published each week. Remember. Children are the greatest asset of a nation. To neglect them is a crime. The orphans' home is doing a good work for Christ and humanity. You should help. St. Louis Men Praises Kansas City Y. M. C. A. Several St. Louisans attended the Business League in Kansas City and all of them are high praise of the splendid service which the Paseo Department Y. M. C. A. of Kansas City rendered to the visitors who were there. Mr. W. C. Gordon speaking of the Y. M. C. A. said, "We could not have been better cared for. Those of us who stayed in the Y. M. C. A. as I did, saw clearly the reason why every city should have a center like this. Those of us, of St. Louis, especially, could see what a help 'a Y. M. C. A. would be to St. Louis." Mr. A. E. Malone expressed about the same sentiment when he said, "I have visited every modern Association for Colored men in the country, and I know the place that these Associations fill in the community. My party and I used the Paseo Department during our stay in Kansas City and we were immensely pleased with the treatment we received. I believe the men of St. Louis who were in Kansas City determined as never before to work for the new building in St. Louis." Mr. Mitchell, editor of the Argus had this to say: "The Paseo Department was a conerate example of what a Y. M. C. A. can be to a city. I am sure we will never regret the struggle we are making for our new building, and we will win out as the men in Kansas City did." The above named gentlemen are members of the Board of Managers of our local branch, and they are united in saying that the Paseo, is the center of the social life of Greater Kansas City.

POLITICAL JOTTINGS At that, however, from beginning to end this has been more of a "you kick me and I'll kiss you" administration. Vance McCormlek says the Progressives are stampeding to Wilson, and it's a ten to one bet he wishes he could believe it. The Democrats are finding out that pork comes home to root out their standing. The men and women who prefer a man who does things to a man who writes notes about them will vote for Hughes. Government by correspondence takes too long to get anywhere, but government by deeds is always on the job. Those who are concerned to know what Mr. Hughes would have done had been in Mr. Wilson's place may rest assured he would not have done as Mr. Wilson has. And that is answer enough. Mr. Hughes is not only going direct to the public, but the public is going direct to him. A genuine American fifty-fifty! President Wilson's alarm clock is ringing at 5 o'clock these mornings. He can reach out of bed and turn it off the morning of March 5. Postmaster General Burleson is too foxy a politician to adopt for his department the McAdoo rule forbidding Treasury department employees participating in politics. Mr. Burleson realizes that postmasters are entitled to some exercise for the money. There are no strings or mental reservations to the public pledges of administrative reform given by Charles Hughes. His record as governor of New York guarantees the fulfillment of every promise. Democrats are now convinced that Charles Evans Hughes is a warm proposition. It is gratifying, indeed, to find that Mr. Wilson still stands on the suffrage question where he stood at the beginning of his administration. He has changed on about another else. Philadelphia Evening Ledger. It strikes one that instead of wildly hustling for the State of Maine, Vance McCormick might do better work by taking his wrecking crew to the West to repair the Democratic bridges that are being dynamited by Justice Hughes. According to the week's latest work of fiction, the Democratic Campaign Book, the wage-earners of the country received during the Wilson Administration $3,000,000,000 more than they received under Taft. And all it cost them to keep something in the dinner pall was $0,000,000,000 more. At the annual meeting of postmasters, in Washington recently, the first assistant postmaster-general lauded the postal savings system. That must have been a bitter pill for Postmaster General Burleson, who sat on the same platform with his assistant. When the postal savings bill was passed, Mr. Burleson, then a Congressman from Texas, voted against it. Every vote cast against it was cast by a Democrat. Not one Democratic Congressman voted for it. Yet President Wilson says the Republican party has not had a new idea in thirty years. Whose idea was it? It was the instinct of a lawyer for Hughes to support his damning charge against Wilson, by calling Wilson's own secretary of state as a witness to prove them. Mr. Hughes says there should be firm dealing in Mexican affairs. May be so; but we have had enough of the firm of Wilson, Carrana & Co. WATC ONLY AMERICANS!! WATCHFUL WAITING ROBERT CANTER EDITORIAL COMMENT The fact that the Democratic campaign managers have booked Secretary Daniels for a speech in Maine seems to indicate that they have abandoned all hope of carrying the State and simply don't care what happens to the ticket in the September election. Senator J. Ham Lewis, a spokesman for the administration, in attempting to apologize for the President's mollycoddle expression that we are "too proud to fight," explains that it is an old Latin quotation. But the people already know that it is out of date and the expression of a decadent nation. "We don't want to maintain a political, almshouse," remarked Mr. Hughes to the North Dakota farmers, and a nation applauds him. Americans are beginning to see a possibility in the near future of regaining their self-respect. The administration seems to have sold everything it could: from the nation's honor down to the smallest rural postmastership. Secretary Daniels says this is no time for politics. And it's no time for Secretary Daniels, either. Senator Lewin, defending the President on his "too proud to fight" expression, intimates that it was due solely to the ignorance of his audience that the popular interpretation that has been put upon it was evolved, and that anyway it didn't mean what it appeared to mean. The latter statement can be taken with some degree of confidence, as it is quite a well-known fact that most of the things the President says do not mean what they are supposed to mean. Secretary Redfield has presented another of those living illustrations of the old adage that "tools rush in where angels fear to tread," with one important modification. The difference in the Secretary's case is that he walked right in and turned around and was kicked right out again. The Democratic contingent in the Senate is all worked up over the fact that the terms of the treaty for the purchase of the Danish West Indies "leaked out." "Pittsill publicity," you understand, has been consigned to the scrap heap with a large assortment of various other Democratic policies and promises. Of Mr. Wilson R may be said he meant well, but he now finds himself hurt under the evidence of inefficiency that Mr. Hughes has brought forth. Mr. Wilson the made no reply to the charges of Mr. Hughes. Is he still too proud to fight? FLEETING PROSPERITY IS FOOL'S PARADISE Don't Let Smoke From Munition Factories' Cloud Your Brain With Belief it's Abiding. PROTECTION, OUR BULWARK Forget Not the Dire Conditions Which Depressed This Country Under the Democratic Free Trade Tariff Prior to the War—They Will Return to Plague and Hunger You Unless the Republicans Are Restored to Power. "When we contemplate industrial and commercial conditions," says Mr. Hughes, "we see that we are living in a fool's paradise." This is the condition to which the administration and its supporters have delicately closed their eyes. When the war cloud broke over Europe, this country was experiencing the most serious depression it had known since 1893, when the Democratic party and its policies were in full control of the United States. Suddenly there came from over the sea a demand for munitions of war, clothing, food, supplies, everything needed by vast armies and by countries whose sons were taken from the field and the workmen, never to return. As a result our exports and the balance of trade in our favor have reached figures far surpassing any ever before known. Temporarily, especially in the East, there is no lack of work at high wages, for Europe must pay whatever price America asks. No thoughtful person would imagine that this condition is anything like real prosperity. How false it is, we in Oregon, who have the clearer vision, because not clouded by the smoke from munitions factories, have fully felt and fully appreciated. What the Republican candidate for president says about it the Democrats know to be true: "Our opponents promised to reduce the cost of living. This they have failed to do, but did reduce the opportunities of making a living. Let us not forget the conditions that existed in this country under the new tariff prior to the war. Production had decreased; business was languishing; new enterprises were not undertaken; instead of expansion there was curtailment and our streets were filled with the unemployed." The suspension of these conditions is not nation-wide, only sectional, and depends upon the duration of the war. Those who think otherwise are, indeed, living in a fool's paradise—Portland (Ore.) Telegram "When, I say that I am an American citizen, I ought to say the proudest thing that any man can say in this world. But you can't have that pride if American citizenry is a cheap thing, if it is not worthy of protection this wide world over. There is no man who could successfully present to an American community the platform that an American citizen's rights stop at the coast line and that beyond that American life is to be the prey of any marauder who chooses to take it."—From a speech of Mr. Hughes in the West. TELL HOW WOMEN VOTERS WILL CONTROL POLITICS Just how the decision of the woman's party to oppose President Wilson for re-election is expected to change the national political situation was explained in a statement by suffrage leaders at the headquarters of the Congressional Union for Woman's Su'rfrage at Washington. It was pointed out that unless he wins the West the defeat of Mr. Wilson "seems inevitable." Needed to Offset Loss of Ohio. To counteract the loss of Ohio alone, which, judging from indications at the primaries, will go with its twenty-four electoral votes to the Republican count, the Democrats will have to win in the West, California, with its thirteen electoral votes; Nevada, with three; Colorado, with six; and Arizona, with three, woman's party representatives here asserted. "In Idaho the Progressive party is dissolved," they continue, "so that the Democrats will have to work hard to get any electoral votes there. Illinois is practically conceded to the Republicans, in the view of woman's party members. See fourths or more of the Progressives there having returned to the Republican ranks. Conditions in Other States. "In Kansas the Progressives and Republicans are practically one again. In Montana there is great dissatisfaction over the proposed Democratic tax on copper. Oregon and Washington are expected to go Republican. These two states were hit hard by the Panama Canal tolls act and the Democratic tariff is seriously felt by the lumber industry there. Utah is considered safe by the Republicans. In Wyoming the Progressives and Republicans have joined hands." STILL FOLLOWING THE NORTH STAR like another exodus from the South; like states of thousands of Negroes, on account of a call to seek employment in the North. The call but was spurred on by violence. No one were soliciting Negro labor, but, like the Isle of a veritable Goshen to the Negro, and he obbed of his earnings, his home violated and his crops without having redress at law or sanction, and hence he crossed the "Red Sea" the "wilderness." He not crossing the sea to the wilderness; he is harvest is ripe and the laborers are few." The South for Negro laborers. The supply of labor the North on account of the European war, an and construction operations of the North car and underpaid Negro labor of the South ther their labor supply. ment of the Negro to the North is not an but had a steady growth in many long years' up. It has been gradually going on since that has given Philadelphia and New York larger of the great cities of the South and shifted rift and advancement proportionally to the week 5,000 Negro laborers left Jacksonville, left Savannah, Ga., with many more than up to leave but are held by the city auth the trains from taking them away. bor of Atlanta, Ga., in a speech, begs the Negro not to go North and leave the fields of the better wages, better schools, no jim-crowis protection for life and home in the courts, North that must he met by the South if they remain. the laws as the city councils of Jacksonville, poor agents $1,000 license and $100 a day for olated, will only give impetus to Negro migr in any untoward conditions that any race of suffer under, history proves it to be a soci tercourse of variously-endowed people promo should be better for the Negro to be so distribut ed States that on all sides he would come in on utilization. present industrial and financial condition of too many Negroes for Georgia; 900,000 in Mississippi; 800,000 is too many Negroes for because these states are comparatively poor public school system largely by the toll place, these states are under the control of men are not civilized, no more than Dahomey is; to the majesty of the law, nor do they have eigh means to properly sustain the institutions of the people. Bull-fighting and prizes has pastimes, but lynching and burning men many communities in these states. Theref numbers are too many to be doomed to a con- t such debasing surroundings. and law call the Negro to rise and get out of Canaan where the door is wide open for him. It looks like another exodus from the South; like the one of 1879, when tens of thousands of Negroes, on account of violent persecutions, left to seek employment in the North. The exodus of 1879 had no call but was spurred on by violence. No employers in the North were soliciting Negro labor, but, like the Isrealites, the South became a veritable Goshen to the Negro, and he was beaten, lynched, robbed of his earnings, his home violated and he was defrauded of his crops without having redress at-law or sympathy in public sentiment, and hence he crossed the "Red Sea" of his difficulties to the "wilderness." Now he is not crossing the sea to the wilderness; he is crossing to where "the harvest is ripe and the laborers are few." The North is sending South for Negro laborers. The supply of labor is running short with the North on account of the European war, and the great businesses and construction operations of the North can see in the dissatisfied and underpaid Negro labor of the South the field from which to get their labor supply. This movement of the Negro to the North is not an hysteria or parooxysm, but had a steady growth in many long years of suffering and hardship. It has been gradually going on since the civil war closed. It has given Philadelphia and New York larger Negro populations than the great cities of the South and shifted the centers of Negro thrift and advancement proportionally to the North. The other week 5,000 Negro laborers left Jacksonville. Fla.; 3,500 have already left Savannah, Ga., with many more thousands who have packed up to leave but are held by the city authorities who prevented the trains from taking them away. The mayor of Atlanta, Ga., in a speech, begs the Negro laborers of Georgia not to go North and leave the fields of the South unraped. But better wages, better schools, no Jim-crowism or segregation, some protection for life and home in the courts, are inducements in the North that must be met by the South if they expect the Negro laborers to remain. Such drastic laws as the city councils of Jacksonville, Fla., passed, charging labor agents $1,000 license and $100 a day for every day the law is violated, will only give impetus to Negro migration North. Aside from any untoward conditions that any race of people in America may suffer under, history proves it to be a sociological law that "the intercourse of variously endowed people promotes civilization." It would be better for the Negro to be so distributed throughout the United States that on all sides he would come in contact with a higher civilization. In the present industrial and financial condition of the Negro, 1,000,000 is too many Negroes for Georgia; 900,000 is too many Negroes for Mississippi; 800,000 is too many Negroes for Alabama. Why? Because these states are comparatively poor and have to sustain a public school system largely by the toll placed on crime, and, further, these states are under the control of men and a sentiment that are not civilized, no more than Dahomey is; they have no respect for the majesty of the law, nor do they have either the disposition or means to properly sustain the institutions necessary to moral welfare of the people. Bull-fighting and prize-fighting are condemned as pastimes, but lynching and burning men alive make a holiday in many communities in these states. Therefore, we say, that these numbers are too many to be doomed to a continual residence amidst such debasing surroundings. So logic and law call the Negro to rise and get out of Egypt and to find his Canaan where the door is wide open for him to be a full SHERIFF ELEY AND THE LIMA MOB herman Eley of Lima, Ohio, is the kind of boy should have, with the exception that he is hot lead on the mob, like Wickliffe of Daniel of Cairo, Ill. The bullet is the best cure taught to have mounted cannon and machine lead into the mon. That is what the mob a quietus on their hilarity. Eley carried out his oath of office to protect risk of his own life. That was his duty. N Sheriff Sherman Eley of Lima, Ohio, is the kind of sheriff that every county should have, with the exception that he should have used a little hot lead on the mob, like Wickliffe of Danville, Ill., or Sheriff Neal of Cairo, Ill. The bullet is the best cure for the mob. Each jail ought to have mounted cannon and machine guns so they could pump lead into the mon. That is what the mob wants and it would put a quietus on their hilarity. Sheriff Eley carried out his oath of office to protect his prisoner, even at the risk of his own life. That was his duty. Now, the duty of the state is to arrest the guilty ones of that mob and give them the butt end of the law. Ohio cannot lay quiet under the shame and disgrace of the Lima mob. Punish the perpetrators to the full extent of the law. Pathe Phone Talking Machine At Last I Am Handling This Wonderful Instrument. On Exhibition in My Store.

For God v0 layed the world that Setar non si but heave everianting Mfa—Jobn. 3:4. ‘What would you think tf God should ‘write: across the shy In faming let: ters of fire the ‘statement of his love for the world, ‘woald you believe It? Well, he has Rot’ written” it there, but_he bas ‘written it large 4m the Bible which ie the story of his Tove. Of course ‘the Bible tells as other things; bat above all, It tells ‘ws this, and no- ‘where better than ? fn John 3:16. Love's Message, ‘There we read G ~ ee mm Joann 0:10, Love's Message. ‘Theré we read 9. statement of his lave, “for God. a0 Joved the world.” Note the sweep of ‘does it mean the universe; but man- "kind, and by it all are included. No- ‘where is there such a love as this, s love which loves’ the unlovable. We _ love those who have that in them which draws our love. God, on the other hand, “commendeth his love to- ward us in that while we-were yet sinners Christ died for us.” Note the intensity of the statement of his love, “so loved the world.” It’s a little word, but what an em- -phatic one. It is a word of degree, expressing the measure of his love and should not be hastily passed over. “So” "puts ‘the warmth inta the state- ment; “so”. expresses -the fire that burns in love, and'to you and to’ me, who are unworthy of God's love, {t has ‘a wealth of meaning. Love's, Sacrifice. ... But more to us than this statement, is the expression of God's love, “that he gave his only. begotten son." Love Is not mensigred’ by words, but by deeds, It is not what one says, ‘but what one docs that proves his love. Calvary is the great expression of the love of God for the world, ‘There God was In ‘Christ, reconciling the world to himself; there God broke .his heart for a lost world,- What matchless love! Angels and cherubim stand be- "fore it amazed, while a world wrecked by sin ie stolidly indifferent. What & message Catvary volces!:-No con- demnation, save:for him-who deserved ft not; no upbraiding of a sinful world; Just the expresilon of ‘God's love in an act of grace which cared for the sii of the world. Love's Purpose. We have here as well the purpose of God's, love, “that whosoever bellev- eth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.’ The statement and the expression of God's love find their consummation in the, purpose, the sal: vation of the lost. But the salvation of the lost 1s not universal, as we shall see, for It is “whosoever believeth shall not perish but have everlasting life.” That word, “whosoever,” makes the ‘matter personal.” It tells us. that God, baving done his part, now leaves it: to us to do ours. He does not coerce or. force um he says, “whoso- ever Soeereih SPT et perish.” While the. word “whosoever” individualizes salvation, it makes a wide.open door for all,’ For who {s shut out, since “whosoever” will, may come? It ts a imatter, then, of our own cholve, Lave’s Purpose Realized. How easily the purpose of God is realized, 80 far as man in concerned, if only we choode to come. No- dif- culty task 1s put before us, no im- Possible requirement,.simply believing im Christ. And this means more than having an historical faith or a general Teligious belief; it means committing ‘one's life to him; trusting him and him only to save. : Why .pot, as you read this, trust Christ to save you? It is so easy to rely upon him. An old iedy sat fh a ra@iroad ‘train bound for Bay City, Mich, She had not traveled mueh and was afraid she was not on the right treln.

Perhaps the woman was mis- taken, Women sometimes are mistak- eu.

ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. THEATRES BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER HAS A HARD TO BEAT SHOW Its hard to beat the show that Mr. Turpin is offering his Booker Washington. The theater patrons this week. There are only three acts but they cover the regular time with a show that is brim full of well displayed talent. Blanks and Harper open the show with a vocal repertoire every number of which is well rendered and roundly applauded. They do a little dialogue and execute some fancy dancing, closing strong. The second act is a return engagement of Khartman the Great and his company of magic wonders. Khartman is treating the audiences this week to his three great features. The first is called "The Hindu Pillory," in which one lady is securely locked in a cabinet and is soon seen in the audience while another is found locked up. The second feature is the escape of a subject from being tightly bound while another, selected from the audience, is mysteriously transferred to the predicament. The third is "The Floating Lady." In this a lady, who has been previously hypnotized, is made to float in the air, rising from a cot. A little burlesque on this mysterious act THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS BASE BALL Double-headed Sunday and Labor Day are scheduled at Federal Park Manager Mills will give the St. Louis fans plenty of baseball. On Sunday the Giants will face the Moose Club of Illinois and Lieutenant Sampson's All Star Army Club. The latter has just returned from a two-years' vigil on the Mexican border and has a strong aggregation of diamond stars. Their sensational left-hander, Carl, will be on the mound against the St. Louis box Sunday. Carl is destined for the big league as soon as he is mustered out of service. Drake, of Dakota, Mills wonderful find, will pilot the Giants through the mill. On Labor Day, Monday, the Champions of the Church Leagues of Alton and St. Louis, will play the first game for the Ill-Mo championship and the Giants and All Stars will clash in the second contest. These double-headed Leaves the audience in a spasm of hilarity. The entire act is full of mystery and wonder and is making a tremendous hit. Buster and Bailey, whom we have christened the Kingpins of Burlesque, close the show with a bit of comedy that well maintains their reputation. These "Beau Brummels" of the street are a pair of personified absurdities behind the footlights. They characterize two hotel porters and have a barrel of fun to distribute. This is one team that can unwind a ball of eccentricity and keep their hearers roaring without becoming vulgar. They make a feeble attempt at singing but clean up when it comes to dancing and humorous dialogue. They are receiving a healthy applause this week. BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER GOERS MAY SEE REHEARSALS MONDAY Theater goers who arrive early at the Booker Washington Theater Monday afternoon may get a chance to witness the rehearsal. Monday is Labor Day and Mr. Turpin has decided to give a holiday matinee, beginning at 2 p.m. This will be the first time a matinee has been given on Monday because the afternoon is always given completed by opening time early comers will be treated to a novelty that few patrons have ever experienced. The most sensational picture serial of the film world will be released Monday and Mr. Turpin will inaugurate the first episode, of three acts, with an oriental setting that will harmonize with the wierd play. Japanese ticket sellers, door keepers and ushers will greet the patrons. The house and stage will be dressed in oriental colors and Chinese music will add to the strange scenes. "The Yellow Menace" has been produced at a big expense and labor in order to bring out in vivid realism the dire possibilities and fearful devastation resulting from an invasion of the United States by the Yellow races. Whole villages were burned, steamboats blown up and cities destroyed for the sake of thrilling effects and the lesson to be taught. Don't fail to see the first presentation Monday. Mr. Turpin was busily engaged arranging an all-star program for next week's vaudeville bill, when the Argus went to press, but had not decided on all the acts. A big show is assured. (UNINCORPORATED) To Be Held in KANSAS CITY, MO. BALL day and Labor Day will start at 1:30. The admission will remain the same, 25 and 35 cents, Boxes 15 cents extra. The third game be- tween the Giants and the soldiers will be played Tuesday. The three contests will be worth seeing, for Uncle Sam's boys have been playing daily and are in fine fettle. The series between the Giants and the Cuban Stars has been the most exciting of the season. Sunday's game was spoiled by the rain, but a record crowd saw Gatewood humble the visitors Monday. Wade is credited with losing Tuesday and the Cubans beat Gatewood Wednesday, but Drake scored a victory Thursday. This left the series two-two when the Argus went to press. The final and deciding game was scheduled for Friday. The Cubans will play a return engagement, beginning September 17. "THE NIGGER" POSTPONED TO TUES. SEPT. 5 Story of a Southern Romance Highly Indorsed by Leading Colored People. Shows Better Side of Human Nature. St. Louisans will get an opportunity to see Edward Shelton's celebrated play, "The Nigger," with William Farnum in the title role, on Tuesday, September 5. WILLIAM FARNUM DIRECTION WILLIAM FOX Manager Thomas James, by special request, has secured the picture for the Rialto Skydome and Movie Theater on the above date. "The Nigger" is highly praised by leading Colored people throughout the country. It tells of a romance of love, politics and the inevitable race taint, draws out the finer and higher qualities of human nature and ends in a race loyalty that is truer to nature than any other play written with the race question as its theme. "The Nigger" was shown at one of the churehes here last winter. Those who saw it say it is a picture that every man, woman and child should see. It is a tale of a young son of a Southern plantation owner who grew to popularity and was elected governor only to be exposed by his enemies, who learn he has "Colored" blood. He is engaged to a white belle of the state. THE 36th ANNU Baptist (UNINCORPORATE Held in KANSAS C ber 6th to Mon J. T. KING, D. D., Sec. Richmond, Va.
