G. O. P. LEADERS WINNING FIGHT TO REDEEM THE STATE Democrats in Consternation Over Judge Lamm's Masterly Manner of Meeting the Issues—Present Administration Has Bankrupted the State—Strong Ticket Winning State Over to Republican Ranks. VOL. V. NO. 27 G. O. P. LEA WINNING REDEEM Democrats in Consternation Ove of Meeting the Issues—Presen the State—Strong Ticket W Ranks. Judge Henry Lamm, that, distinguished jurist and fearless champion of Republicanism, who heads the ticket that promises to redeem Missouri from Democratic misrule and swing the state back into the Republican column on the seventh of November, has surpassed the expectations of his most ardent admirers by the telling effect of the strenuous campaign he is making through the state. The masterly manner in which he is handling the issues of the campaign has aroused interest and enthusiasm and put new life into the cause of Republicanism throughout the state and filled the hearts of the Democratic candidates with consternation. Judge Lamm is being greeted everywhere by large crowds and has made a most favorable impression on all classes of voters by his unanswerable arguments and the powerful searchlight of exposure he is turning upon the shameless extravagance and the wasteful and incompetent methods of the present Democratic administration. His thorough knowledge and mastery of state affairs mark him as an able and conscientious statesman. His rugged, manly bearing and pleasing personality are driving home the conviction that he is a man with the courage of his convictions and a capable leader and is winning for him thousands of supporters among Democrats who are disgusted with the wasteful extravagance of their own party leaders. Judge Lamm is a native of Ohio, but has been a resident of Missouri for forty-seven years. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and practiced law in this state for 30 years. He served four years as prosecuting attorney of Pettis County and was for ten years a judge of the Missouri Supreme Court. His fame as a jurist extends far beyond the borders of his own state and is widely known and respected for the wisdom and fearless impartiality of his decisions. One of the decisions written by Judge Lamm that marked him as an impartial jurist was that in which he ruled that the old soldiers of the Confederate Soldiers' Home, at Higginsville, and at the Home for Union Veterans, at St. James, are not paupers, and are entitled to vote. Judge Lamm bears a spotless reputation and is respected by all who know him as a man of the highest character. WALTER & DICKEY Walter S. Dickey, the Republican candidate for United States Senator from Missouri is matchless as a political leader and organizer, and in his present campaign, by his masterful tactics has won from his friends the title of "the Mark Hanna, of Missouri." Mr. Dickey has been a conspicuous and able leader in the Republican party of Missouri for 30 years, but has never sought for himself political preferment of any kind and never offensively dictated to those who were placed in power by his efforts. He came to Missouri in 1885 and at once identified himself with the Republican party of Kansas City. His ability as an able organizer was recognized a year later, by his election to membership of the Republican City Committee. In 1900 he was made chairman of the Jackson County Republican Committee, and under his efficient management the party that year won its first victory in 27 years. In 1904 he directed the campaign in Kansas City which resulted in the election of a Republican mayor and council. Later in the same year, an chairman of the executive committee of the Republican State Committee he aided in giving the electoral vote of Missouri to Theodore Roosevelt, which was a most surprising achievement. In 1908, he accomplished a still more surprising result as Republican state chairman, by delivering the electoral vote of Missouri to Wm. H. Taft and elected Herbert S. Hadley, the first Republican governor of Missouri in forty years. During this campaign, Mr. Dickey removed to St. Louis, to establish more effective headquarters, leaving his family and large business interests in Kansas. City for five months and devoting his entire energy to the cause for party success. His matchless energy and ability as an organizer which have enabled him to lead the party to success in so many campaigns, are again being demonstrated and are sure to result in bringing to the polls at the November election the full strength of the party vote The St. Louis Argus and certain victory to the cause of Republicanism, by the election of the entire ticket. Personally Mr. Dickey is genial, approachable, and democratic. He is clean handed and all his processes have endured all the tests of public scrutiny. He is sympathetic and generous and the needs and interests of his fellow-men have a large place in his mind and heart. It is the possession of these qualities that have enabled him to rise from the humble post of a clerk to the presidency of a business concern which operates 23 plants in eleven different states. BOY F. BRITTON Roy F. Britton, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, is a brilliant young layyer who was sent to the Legislature from St. Louis County, in 1910, and made an excellent legislative record. He was an ardent supporter of the good roads movement and the working men's compensation law and was one of the leading promoters of the law for the regulation of auto. (Continued on page 4.)

LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1916. NOTICE TO + ARGUS READERS Beginning Friday, Dec. 1, the subscription rate of the St. Louis Argus will be $1.50 per year, in advance. All who pay their subscription prior to that time will receive the benefit of the present $1.00 rate which will obtain until their year has expired. All who fail to pay up before Dec. 1 will be dropped from the list. This, however, will not exempt them from paying. All who are in debt to the Argus Publishing Company for papers received will be, according to the Federal law, held responsible and expected to settle the amount. The advance in the subscription rate has been necessitated by the high price of paper stock which has more than doubled during the present year. The constant rise in this material has caused much anxiety among publishers throughout the country. Various methods have been tried by the different publishers to meet the emergency. The subscription rate for many has been doubled; others have reduced the number of pages, while hundreds have been suspended. The Argus was the first modern Negro weekly to be offered to the public at $1.00 per year, and is with reluctance that conditions necessitate an advance from that price. The publishers plan to keep up the high standard this paper has attained and to continue gradually improving its value as a news gatherer and advertising medium. This can only be done by meeting trade conditions. Remember, you can still take advantage of the $1.00 per year in advance rate, by paying your subscription before Dec. 1. We are satisfied our many thousand readers wish to see the Argus grow and that not only will subscriptions be immediately paid in advance of Dec. 1, but all who are in arrears will appreciate their duty and pay up. If one of our collectora does not call in a few days, send your money into the office or phone Bomont 1452, and one will be sent to you.

Calls Race Leaders Together With Other Prominent Men to Discuss Race Problems Amenia, N. Y.—Fifty representatives of the Negro race of every school of thought and every form of activity held an important conference recently at Troutbeck, the country home of Dr. J. E. Spingarn, near here, having been invited by Dr. Spingarn, in order that the leaders of thought from every section of the country might freely and frankly discuss vital questions confronting the race and endeoyor to ascertain the most advanced position that all might agree upon and hold as vantage ground from which to work for new conquests by Colored Americans. Every phase of the race question was discussed. The following report was unanimously adopted: First.—The conference believes that all forms of education are desirable for the Negro and that every form of education should be encouraged and advanced. Second.—It believes that the Negro in common with all other races, cannot achieve its highest development without complete political freedom. Third.—It believes that this development and this freedom cannot be furthered without organization and without a practical working understanding among race leaders. Besides the conferees, a number of distinguished and representative members of both races were invited to be present and take part in the discussions from day to day. Among those in attendance and who addressed the conferences were: His Excellency Charles S. Whitman, governor of New York; Captain Lorillard Spencer, military secretary to the governor; Colonel William Hayward, colonel of the Fifteenth regiment; Osw. Garrison Villard, editor of the Evening Post; Hon. Herbert Parsons, Miss Inez Mulholland. Other guests for the day were Edward Ware, president of the Atlanta University; Dr. V. Morton Jones, Lieutenant V. W. Tandy, John E. Nail, A. G. Dill and Gilchrist Stewart.

The city is building an alley in the rear of their property. The tax with the necessary repairs will cost over four hundred dollars. This amount is urgently needed. A popular subscription by four hundred persons of $1 each will pay this debt. They need your help. Do not wait until someone calls on you and begs you to help this worthy cause. You can send $1 direct to the Home, 4316 Natural Bridge Road, or to the Editor of the St. Louis Argus. The names of all who contribute will be published from week to week.

Howard, attorney-at-law, Jackson, Miss., and president of the National Negro Bar Association, and wife were returning from New York to their home at Jackson, Miss., on September 24, and had enjoyed their lower berth from New York until they reached the confines of Kentucky when a burly train conductor, about 10 o'clock in the night, ordered them to the day coach upon the complaint of two white persons in the sleeper, and they stubbornly refused to go, and for a time a sensational moment ensued. But they stood their ground and stated that if they were moved to the day coach it must be by force, as they were inter-state passengers, and held both their sleeping car and train tickets. It was learned that the complaining parties were from Texas, and one of their kicks was that they had to take an upper berth when "Niggers" had a lower berth—Freeman.

THE NEW STUNT OF OUR CITY DEMOCRATS The Democrats are always in favor of amendments to the charter whenever they find out that their numbers are not sufficient to give control. A large number of Democrats have combined with a few disgruntled Republicans to amend the charter—to abolish a partisan ticket in municipal election. The Democrats didn't get much of a "look in" at the last election and now feeling that their name makes them unpopular they would adopt an alias and call themselves "citizens," or "best citizens" and run for office in that guise. But the wolf in sheeps clothing is an old, political bunko Democratic game and the people are generally on to it. Here is one of the specious pleas they make to the Negro. Speaking of the new election system, which they propose, they say, "it affords an opportunity for Colored voters, if they desire to nominate a list of candidates for the Board of Aldermen, with practical certainty that they can elect one of their numbers. It is estimated that in an ordinary election with 100,000 votes cast, one-fourteenth of the votes which is necessary to elect can be cast by Negro voters. This would only require 7,000 votes. The Negro vote has been so misused by Republican and Demoeratic parties, that Negro voters should welcome this opportunity to get away from national parties in city government and secure representation for themselves." On this committee which issued this address to Negroes and others, of which this extract is a part, is the name of Mr. Somerich who introduced a segregation, several years ago, in the House of Delegates. Of course he is anxious to see that the Negro has representation on the Board of Aldermen, Nil. The Democratic members of the committee are also anxious for the Negro political advancement when that party in nearly all states, in which it has had absolute control, has disfranchised the Negro. Nil. Let us wait awhile before we amend our present charter. It's not yet in full operation. Amending has become a hysteria. The Democrats get these systems quite occasionally. The fits are periodical—always throw a spell about election time. But the Democratic party cannot be put in control by amending charters and state constitutions. It must come up to the "nut cutting" this time and get votes, or, otherwise it will be beaten, that's all. VOTE $3,000,000 BOND FOR SCHOOLS, NOVEMBER 11 Vote "Yes," and get your friends to vote "Yes" on the $3,000,000 school bond issue to build new school houses. It will increase the tax slightly—5 cents per year to the man who pays taxes on $100 valuation and less than 50 cents per year to the man who pays taxes on $1,000 valuation, but such increase is no comparison to the good it will do. The school board needs the money. The present school revenue does not meet the school needs. Children of school age increase with the population and children may now go to school much younger than several years ago, besides the enlargement of the night school system has admitted many more of the older people. The attendance has increased until the rooms are overcrowded and 6,000 pupils are taught in portable schools, or outside wooden sheds. Such a condition is a disgrace to our mammoth city with its advanced educational methods and its wonderful business activities. The city needs twenty additional school buildings, and, judging from the number of portable wooden schools now in use to accommodate over-crowded Colored schools, we readily reach the conclusion that a necessary proportion of these new schools will be used by Colored people. At the base of our civilization is the common school system, it is the enemy of crime, the handmaid of Christianity and the stepping stones by which we must rise to useful and efficient citizenship and manhood.

When the blind lead the blind they both fall into the ditch. The National Negro Democratic organization that has labored in vain, for a score of years to seduce the Negro voters of the country into the Democratic party under the leadership of Bishop Alexander Walters, of New York, the leading Bishop of the African M. E. Zion Church, has proven a colossal failure. The good bishop reached the zeenth of his fame as a political prophet and Democratic leader four years ago when he succeeded by taking advantage of the division in the Republican party ranks, in leading several thousand sands of his people to follow his leadership in supporting Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. But the bishop had a rude awakening. His eyes have been opened at last, and so have those of his deluded followers. The hopes of the Negro Democratic band have been blasted by the duplicity of President Wilson, who turned his back on them when he entered the White House, and in the four short years he has been in power, has removed nearly every evidence of political advancement. the Negro has made under the friendly encouragement of Republican administrations for the last fifty years. Bishop Walters has proved to be a false leader and his followers have deserted him. His aged head is bowed down and his heart is saddened by the evidence of his own duplicity. He has been slaughtered in the house of his false friends, and with all his prestige as a leader gone, he bemoans his and fate in sack cloth and ashes, while he seeks to undo the great wrong to his people, for which he feels keenly the responsibility. A year ago last March, when Bishop Walters visited St. Louis to aid in the dedication of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, his proud heart overflowed with grief over the disaster he had wrought among his people, and in the presence of a large audience, composed of many of the most prominent, white and Colored people of St. Louis, gave vent to his lamentations, taking President Wilson and his administration severely to task for the outrageous treatment he had met out to his people. He declared with the forceful eloquence for which he is noted as a pulpit orator, that President Wilson had miled him and his followers by promises of fair play, prior to his election, and after reaching the White House had ruthlessly undone the work of fifty years of race advancement made by the Negroes by the policy of segregation and elimination practiced against them in the various departments of the Federal Government. In a burst of fiery eloquence at the close of his address the bishop declared it to be his solemn belief that the only salvation for the Negro in the future was to organize themselves and cast a solid vote for the Republican nominee for president in 1916. In an interview given out to the press a few days prior to his address, Bishop Walters expressed himself on the political situation in the following unmistakable language: "Everybody knows, from the very nature of things, there can be no such thing as a Negro Democrat, but a few of us thought it a wise thing to play Democratic politics. Our motive was to test the sincerity of the Democratic leaders who had claimed to be our true friends, but had withheld their political help from us because of our blind allegiance to the Republican party. "I had known Mr. Wilson as governor of New Jersey, and regarded him as an upright and God-fearing man, and when he gave us positive assurances that the people of my race would receive fair play under his administration, if he was elected, I decided to give him my support, and did all in my power to aid him in securing a large share of the Negro vote, and I do not think it can be successfully denied that he received the largest Negro vote ever cast for a Democratic candidate for the presidency. "To say that I was disappointed and surprised at Mr. Wilson's course in permitting the heads of the various department at Washington to introduce and enforce rules segregating the Negro clerks and other employees, that disturbing the era, of good feeling between the races that had existed in the departments for nearly half a century, is putting the case mildly. I was both grieved and indignant. "I called on the president and had a talk with him about the matter, and while he gave me no assurance that he would interfere with the department heads, in their management, I still believed Mr. Wilson meant to do the right thing is the distribution of federal patronage, when he came to make appointments, but when I saw most of the Negroes who held positions of honor and trust under the government replaced by white men, and saw the efforts of southern congressmen to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment, I became truly alarmed and appealed to the United States Senators to stay the hand of southern prejudice and save us from disfranchisement." ALL SAINTE PROTEST AGAINST BACIAL EPISCOPATE The sermon of Archdeacon Russell, of southern Virginia, at All Saints last Sunday, was most inspiring. His theme was "The Call to Service." On next Sunday the preachers will be Bishop Colmore, of Porto Rice, at 11 a. m., and Bishop Murray, of Maryland, at 8 p. m. A number of the Colored clergy attending the great general convention of the church will be in the procession at both services. The choir has prepared special music for the occasion. All who can make it convenient should take advantage of the great spiritual treat. The subject of Bishop Colmore's sermon, Sunday morning, will be "The Fiery Furnace of Trial," based on the Biblical incident of the three Hebrew children, Abednego, Mesach and Shadrach, in the fiery furnace.

XION One of the most brilliant church affairs in St. Louis, occurred Sunday at the Union Methodist (white) churches. The old Union Methodist Church is now owned by the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion (Colored) Church. Dr. Shaw and the board of trustees, were visitors at the Union Methodist Church and were agreeably surprised by the pageant which they witnessed. Dr. Shaw and his board of trustees being the chief centers of interest. This pageant commemorated the decided progress their successors are making and is now being shown by the change in the class of people in the environments of the church. Dr. Robins, the retiring pastor, of the Union Church, preached his farewell sermon to his congregation, and a miniature church, resembling the Metropolitan Church was presented by the congregation to Dr. Shaw, symbolizing the surrender of the beautiful Lucas Ava. edifice to the Zion congregation. The keys were also given Dr. Shaw denoting that full possession was given to his congregation. At the close of the meeting, Dr. Shaw delivered a brilliant and soul stirring address to the white audience which brought tears to the eyes of many. In the evening Dr. Robins spoke to the Metropolitan congregation on the "Importance of Caring for Our Neighbor." There were about 75 white members present and when our magnificent choir swelled forth, it seemed as if the Holy Spirit had touched every tongue with melody that sounded even to the depths of the soul. We are glad to say our members have been very loyal in the rally, with their presence. We have raised already nearly $500. We feel that this is remarkable because we do not have concerts and house socials to raise money for the church, no begging of things to eat for a big dinner to be sold in the church, as we are opposed to such methods. We believe that the sacrifice you make as a Christian, and with as much sacredness as any other part of worship. Rev. Dunnavant, our pastor, has been very successful in teaching some very fine principles. All departments of the church are being well developed and are giving good services. We must have $700 by the last of this year, as we want to be able to pay our debts. The Seven Church Union met with North Guillece Baptist Church last Sunday, at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, 1405 Morgan St. President Hall took charge of the meeting. The Union was led in singing by Rev. Williams. President Hall then introduced the speaker of the evening, Rev. L. K. Chainey. The sermon was a powerful une and the house was filled with the Holy Spirit. Next meeting will convene at New Hope Baptist Church, 2719 Morgan Street, Monday night, October 16. All are invited to come and join us in the praise of God. Rev. Hall, President, L. E. Molton, See'y.

Your days would not so soon been spent." Signed, Joseph Layne and Friends. In loving memory of our dear mother, Katy Hale, who departed two years ago October 16, 1914. How we miss you, darling mother, Friends may think, the wound is healed, Little do they know the sorrow, That lies in our hearts concealed. We miss your willing hand, Your fond and loving care, Our home is dark without you, We miss you everywhere. We saw her suffer, heard her sighs, With aching hearts and weeping eyes, We saw her sinking hour by hour, Yet could not stay death's awful power. But now she calmly sleeps at last, All pains and aches, all suffering past. Badly missed by mother and children.

DER-MA-TAS HIFTY WILSON ON COLONEL'S BODKIN Live Balancer on String of Words Pinned Down by Proof That in Fifteen Public Utterances He Took Forty- One Different Positions on Preparedness. CH STAND CONTRADICTED FROM 1 TO 6 OF THE OTHERS nocratic Candidate Said That: Our Army Was Ample and That We Did Not Have Enough Troops to Patrol the Border; That We were on the large of a Maelstrom and That there Was No Critical Situation; that the National Guard Would lot Do and Then That It Must Do. In the fourteen months extending from December 8th, 1914, to February 11th, 1916, there were fifteen messages, letters and speeches of President Wilson which I have read. In these fifteen messages, letters and speeches, during those fourteen months, President Wilson took forty-one different positions about preparedness and the measures necessary to secure it; and each of these forty-one positions contradicted from one to six of the others. In many of his speeches the weasel words' of one portion of the words used in another portion of that speech; and these latter words themselves had a weasel significance towards yet other words. He argued for preparedness, and against preparedness. He stated that our army was ample; and that we did have enough troops to patrol the American border in time of peace. He said the world was on fire, and that marks were liable to drop anywhere and cause us to burst into flame; and he also said that there was no immediate danger. He said that there was no sudden crisis; and then again that he did not know what a single day would bring forth. He said that we were on the verge of a maelstrom; and then that there was no special critical situation. He said the danger was constant and immediate; and also that we were not threatened from any quarter. He said that there was no fear among us; and also that we were in a dangerous of seeing the vital interest and honor of the country enceased and the flag of the United States stained with impunity. He said that we were in very critical danger of being involved in the great European struggle; and also that there was no need to discuss the question of defense, or to get nervous or excited about it. In one and the same speech, he said that a sufficient number of men would volunteer, and that if they did not he would be shamed of America; and he also said that he did not know of any law which laid upon them the duty of coming into the army, if it should be necessary to call for volunteers. He said that we needed 500,000 volunteers, and that if there was any legitimate criticism of this demand it was because it was too small; and as soon as Congressman Hay objected to the man, he promptly abandoned it. He said that the National Guard was not the proper body upon which to rely; and then not only changed his own mind but forced his own Secretary of War out of his cabinet, because this secretary possessed less flexible collections and was unable instantly toverse himself when going at full speed.—From the Speech of Colonel Goosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, Behalf of Mr. Hughes. WILSON DEEMED IT FUTTLE TO STAND FIRMLY. President Wilson seeks to justify himself on the ground that it was "futile" and dangerous to "stand firmly." This is an appeal that can with equal truth he made by every soldier who runs away in battle. He further alleges his belief that the cause he championed "has the sanction of the judgment of society in its favor." I remember thirty-odd years ago in the Black Hills a local vigilance committee which was in doubt about hanging a suspected wrongdoer. While they were discussing the matter, there appeared over the neighboring divide a frowsy, elderly horseman in a linen duster, who promptly galloped towards them waving his arms and shouting "Hang him! Hang him!" The leader of the vigilantes at once asked the frowsy stranger what he knew of the facts, whereupon the stranger answered: "I do not know anything about the facts, and I never saw the man before; but there's eleven of you and only one of him, and I believe in majority rule!" This is merely a picturesque paraphrase of what Mr. Wilson calls action under "the sanction of society." It exemplifies the principle upon which President Wilson has acted in those public matters, internal and external; where he was threatened with the use of force.—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. --- CHARLES LAMB, 2d. In New York Sun. Editorial Comments If the, Democratic leader who advocates putting dyes on the free list to encourage the industry were a surgeon his method of setting a broken limb would be to amputate the patient's leg at the neck. Optimism is what makes the Democratic party, which has fooled some of the people only three times in fifty years, and has never yet fooled all of the people some of the time, think that it can now fool all of the people all of the time. President Wilson hasn't been able to figure out yet whether he is going to be on the stump or up one. If the paper shortage becomes much more serious the first thing we know the machinery of the State Department will be coming to an abrupt stop. Then, too, according to the Democratic campaign book that among the more important enactments of the Wilson Administration may be mentioned Magna Charta and the Ten Commandments. Secretary Redfield converses glibly in terms of billions until it comes time to make a campaign contribution when it is disclosed that all he really knows about mathematics is $100. Everything has gone up under Wilson except the price of dead Americans. Senator Jimham Lewis has purchased a new volume of "Unfamiliar Quotations" and expects to be able any day now to give us the classical derivation of "pitless publicity" and "strict accountability" in the original Babbylonian. Add famous sayings of history: "I will surrender on this line if it takes all summer!" The Democratic revenue bill, as completed, is regarded as so-perfect that the chances are that the taxpayers of New York, Massachusetts and Illinois will be able to build 3,000 more miles of good roads in Alabama next year. Mr. Hughes is talking to the women of the land in the homely language of the fireside and we expect to witness an impressive rallying of the sex on the first ironing day after the first wash day in November. Preadent Wilson refused to speak in Independence Hall on the one hundred and twenty-eighth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in that hall, and he so refused because inasmuch as over one hundred of our men, women and children had just been murdered on the high seas he regarded it as "the very moment when he would not care to arouse the sentiment of patriotism." Mr. Wilson has a positive genius for striking when the iron is cold and fearing to strike when the iron is hot. If one hundred and twenty-eight years ago Washington and Jefferson, and the other men who signed the Declaration of Independence had felt the same way about patriotism, and the same way about fighting as Mr. Wilson does, we would never have had a country. Had Lincoln felt the same way, there would be no such thing as the American Republic now in existence—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes.

ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. THEATRES PLENTY OF GENUINE ENTERTAINING AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER THIS WEEK There is just enough variety at the Booker Washington Theater this week to please everyone. The program is made up of good numbers well pre-Zazalle Brothers, trick comedy acrobats, do all kinds of apparently impossible things. Their act is full of ludicrous tumbling and slap stick hilarity of the clown variety. They carry their own scenery. sented by artists. Ford and Ford, an excellent mixed team, with good voices, offer several spiry jokes and do some lively singing and dancing. The eccentric soft shoe dance by the male and the all round work by the female, who is unusually active for a large woman, are the main feature. They draw heavy applause. Gertrude Saunders, a very attractive footlights performer, makes a decisive hit with her singing and dancing. She closes with her own version of "The Dance Called Walking the Dog" and goes big. She has a sweet voice and puts much individuality into her work. William Williams and Taylor, the dance heads, have a rapid fire act beaming with humorous dialogues, songs and dances. Everything they do creates applause. Their mock rehearsal is full of comedy and the Charlie Chaplin imitations by Taylor calls for an encore. Williams renders a sentimental number in good voice. The team closes with a dance contest that offers some of the best straight and eccentric work ever seen at this theater. The act is a winner. NEW SONG HIT COMPOSED BY "You Tell It," or "Jitney Bus Joy," is the latest song hit produced by a Colored composer. Frank Hendon, the well known vaudeville performer, is the author. The title page design was drawn by a Colored man and the music plates were engraved by a member of the race. Copies are on sale at Chas. H. Watkins Piano Store, 2905 Laclede and the Hunleth Music Co., 516 Locust. The song is a musical gem of the popular light vein and should be in everyone's home. Encourage the author by buying a copy.
