THE COURT RULES AGAINST REJECTED ST. LOUIS BALLOTS Judge Reynolds in Court of Appeals Rules Mandamus is not Proper Remedy. Pacts will be Laid Before Legislature in January NINE HUNDRED BALLOTS REJECTED BY JUDGES Missouri Law Giving Judges of Election Booths Arbitrary Power to Reject Ballots of Challenged Voters Should be Repealed Judge Reynolds, presiding over the St. Louis Court of Appeals, handed down a decision Tuesday, denying the right of the court to order the rejected ballots of the Negro voters, challenged on election day, counted. The judge made a verbal statement in which he said the rejection of a qualified voter's ballot under the cir- cumstances complained of was an outrage, but that the proper remedy was not a mandamus, but a change in the law which would make such a condition impossible. The official memorandum of the de- cision was as follows: "The application for an alternative writ of mandamus is dismissed without prejudice, the court being, of the opinion that mandamus is not in this case the proper remedy. Judge Selden P. Spencer, council for the Republicans, said the facts will be taken before the legislature soon after it meets in January. The rejected ballots are those of Negroes who were challenged at the polls election day. The law prohibits only those from voting who have been convicted of party larceny or greater crimes. Challenges without cause were made promiscuously by the Democrats November 7, for the sole purpose of cutting down the Republican vote. As a result nearly 3,000 Negro votes were lost, including the 900 rejected ballots and the voters who left the polls refusing to be included. This number more than doubles Gardner's majority in the state for Governor and furnishes good ground for a contest, which is likely. ST. JAMES NOTES One of the most beautiful sights ever witnessed in St. James was the evangelistic service held by Miss Evans in the Sunday School. After making the story of salvation so plain that the youngest child could understand, the evangelist mafe a strong appeal for those unsaved to make a decision. Thirty-four children, ranging in ages from six to sixteen, accepted Christ. The church was filled to overflowing at the morning service. At 3 o'clock Misa Evans spoke to over 1,000 women. Scores of women went away unable to get even in the vestibule. The evangelist, with eloquence such as only she can express, made an earnest appeal for purer women, higher ideals and exemplary mothers. Her address will long be remembered by her hearers. The crowd was so dense at night the pastor had to request some to retire. We regret exceedingly our inability to accommodate the visitors. Miss Evans is doing a wonderful work and the community and the entire city will be benefited by her coming. She will be with us Sunday, Nov. 26, and perhaps longer. ST. PAUL NOTES St. Paul A. M. E. congregation and friends are rejoicing over the arrival of their now pastor in the person of Rev. W. E. Johnson, D. D., of Birmingham, Ala. Dr. Johnson arrived in the city last Saturday, Nov. 18, 1916, and on Sunday morning and Sunday night he preached two powerful sermons to the delight of the members of the congregation and friends. It was soon discovered that he is the man for the place. Dr. Johnson comes to St. Louis well recommended by the leading pastors and bishops of the A. M. E. Church. With the support of the loyal members historic success in every way is assured. Very truly yours, E. HAWKINS, Secretary of St. Paul A. M. E. Church. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. We were very glad to have in our midst Rev. Fletcher on last Sunday, who very ably filled the rostrum at 11:30, speaking on "Come Unto Me." The pastor presided at 8 o'clock service, and choosing the immortal defence of Paul before Agrippa for a topic, and Agrippa's answer for his subject, "Almost Thun Persaudest Me to Be a Christian." This reached the hearts of the audience and left the pulses throbbing with new life. Rev. D. W. Morris, pastor. AFRICAN EMBALMER IS HERE. Prof. Michael Deniyi Williams, the famous African-embalmer and lecturer, is here to prove to the Christians that the Yoruba people in Nigeria, West Africa, are not cannibals or barbous.

Negro Education Shown At Fair Memphis, Tenn.—What applied education is doing for the Negro in Tennessee is illustrated by the displays in the exposition hall at the annual fair for Colored people. The most striking of all the displays are those showing work done in the Negro schools. Dresses, hats, quilts, table covers and other practical examples of needlework are shown by the Negro girls. Bread, cake, canned fruit and vegetables, as well as drawings, paintings and applied designs such as for window curtains complete the list. The tools, such as chairs, book racks, benches and similar pieces of furniture. Several excellent agricultural exhibits shown by individual entrants attract much attention. Corn, long staple cotton, grasses, small grains and garden products show what the Negroes are doing in an agricultural way. One of the best collections of farm and garden products is that shown by a woman farmer who is an annual exhibitor. Plants and flowers grown by a Negro florist, jewelry made by a Negro craftsman and many other examples of work are among the varied displays. More than a score of horses from the farm of a Negro are exhibited. Church Activities Sunday is promised to be a great and inspiring occasion at Metropolitan Church. "All Men's Day" will be observed.

NEGROSS WIN POLITICAL VICTORY IN TENNESSEE Lincoln Republican League Completely Swamps Lily Whites, now Regular Republicans Memphis, Tennessee.-The Lincoln Republican League, founded by R. B. Church, Jr., completely annihilated the bly-white Republicans in an open contest at the ballot box in Memphis and West Tennessee on election day. From Wayman Wilkerson, candidate for Congress, straight down the line, the Lincoln League ticket polled a vote larger than the so-called Republican organization. Work Just Bogun The Lincoln League is organizing for local contests next year, and for congressional race in 1918. Candidates will be put up for every office, county and congressional, and since the great vote piled up by the organization establishes it as the Regular Republican party organization in this section of the state, the party will always be represented on the official ballot. NEGRO FARMER GETS HIGH PRICE FOR COTTON Eufala, Ala.—A Negro farmer got Eufala's record-breaking price for a bale of cotton and the seed. Both brought $166.32.

BLACK POPULATION IS FAST INCREASING Large Number of Negroes Coming to Liverpool from America and Africa Liverpool, England.—(Correspondence of Associated Press)—Liverpool is becoming conscious of a remarkable growth in its black population. The Negroes are coming, from the west coast of Africa and from America. The annihilation and devastation of the best and able-bodied men of Europe, caused by the war and disease, and the great stampede by the native African men to Europe, recalls the prediction that almalagamation was in evitable as Africa would be the only country to meet the demand.

St. Louis music lovers enjoyed a rare treat November 15th, when the social "Four Hundred" filled the Y. W. C. A. Auditorium with an audience that broke all records, to greet Mr. Clarence Cameron White and Miss Myrtle A. Burgess in a violin and piano recital of unusual merit. Mr. White, whose fame as a violin soloist has been, established among St. Louis music lovers by frequent visits to this city during at least a dozen years, pleased his audience with splendid program of classical numbers, concluding with three Negro Folk-lore numbers, Negro Chant, Slave Song and Negro Dance. The surprise of the occasion, however, was the superb-reduction of a number of high-class piano solos, from the compositions of the masters in which Miss Burgess displayed perfect mastery of the finger technique, in tone, color and expression. Following the close of the program the young musical stars were overwhelmed with congratulations from a host of friends, who were enthusiastic in their praises and wishes for the continual success of the musicians. Miss Burgess has been very successful as a teacher of music and as a concert artist, and the large audience on this occasion was a real tribute of her friends to her consecientious work since her graduation five years ago from the Toronto Conservatory of Music.

Judge Selden P. Spencer will be the speaker at the Men's Meeting next Sunday at 4 p.m. Judge Spencer is one of the outstanding laymen of the country. On the program of the International Conventions and on the State Conventions of Young Men's Christian Associations there is no more familiar name than that of Selden P. Spencer of St. Louis.

Judge Spencer has for a number of years been a warm friend of the Young Men's Christian Association among our men; and has been a worthy and faithful champion of rights. Even now he is employed by the Republican Committee of St. Louis to fight the cause of the 89 Negroes who were defrauded of their ballots on election day.

REPORT OF CITY AND STATE INSTITUTIONS. Provision is made in all of the public city institutions of St. Louis for the care of Colored people. The State Industrial School for Colored Girls at Tipton, Mo., opened April 15th, 1916. At present it has twenty-six inmates, and can accommodate 150. The officers in charge are a superintendent, matron, teacher and housekeeper (all Colored). The curriculum so far is well-planned. The work planned for the year is both industrial and academical. The grounds cover fifty acres or more. Farming and poultry raising are to be taught. There is a slight improvement in the physical condition of the Colored boys at the Missouri Training School for Boonsville, Mo., in the last three years. They are not given an opportunity for learning trades, and little constructive work is done for them, and the boys go back to their homes very little better off than when they were sent to the institution. Colored children are accepted and given a fair opportunity at the School for the Deaf and Dumb at Fulton, Mo. One Colored teacher is employed. No provision is made for the care of blind Colored children at Missouri School for the Blind, at present. Mr. Green, superintendent of the institution, states that there is a movement on foot to establish a school for Colored children, and they hope to have a location in a few weeks. The school will be under the same management, and adequate provision will be made for the care and education of blind children. Colored children are not accepted at the Feeble Minded School at Marshall, Mo., and no other provision is made for them. Colored tubercular patients are not accepted at the Mount Vernon Sanitarium at Mount Vernon, Mo. LANE TABERNACLE, CHURCH Sunday will be the first quarterly meeting for this conference year. Rev J. W.

President Woodrow Wilson has been re-elected for another term of four years. The enemies of the Negro, those who oppose equal rights to all men are busy. It has just been called to our attention the fact that the so-called United Welfare Association is sending out letters to all of its followers appealing to them for $5000 to employ and send attorneys to Washington to argue the St. Louis case when the Louisville segregation case comes before the United States Supreme Court. Inactivity on our part shows that we are asleep. "And while they slept," their rights as American citizens are being taken from them. This is a time when we should wake up, the enemy is on our trail. The manhood and womanhood of our people are at stake. The Colored people of St. Louis, supported by that great organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, should employ council to go to Washington to look after their interest. If we do not do our best at a time like this, what will the future generation think of us? We are making history. Every man shall be known by his work. The so-called leaders of our race, who lead the procession when in a movement to feather their own nest, are, as a general rule conspiciously absent when it comes to any movement where the interest of the whole race is in jeapody. This ought not to be so. It would shock the outside world, and it would be quite a surprise to many St. Louisans to know how few of the business and professional men, the teachers and the preachers took any active part in opposing the recent segregation ordinances in this city. They neither contributed time nor money. Of course this is no time for bickering or quarrelling over the past, otherwise we would give the names of every one of this class of men and who helped in the fight. But on the other hand, we are making this plea, "Let by gones be by gones;" let us forget petty differences; let all who would do the greatest good to the greatest number; get behind that well organized movement, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Let us get busy. Let us wake up. AFFRONTERY OF THE BALLOT ROBBERS "There is something rotten in Denmark." There are serious defects in our election laws or very false action in their administration. In the absense of statutory enactment common law ought to cover all cases of intimidation and fraud. The secrecy of the ballot is made more important than its sanctity. The majesty of the law is trampled in the dust by the ballot robbery. Hundreds of citizens are deprived of their votes by a frame up of frivolous charges not one of which is there even an attempt to prove. Yet these returns, false in the number of votes cast as well as in the votes discarded after cast, are to be certified to the Secretary of State as the voice of the sovereign people, because the election commissioners contend that, though they know the returns are false, they, nevertheless, have no power to correct them. In many precincts the Judges and Clerks admit that the vote recorded by them was greater than the vote registered, yet they refuse to open the ballot boxes and correct. Isn't this high handed criminal affrontery? It looks like Boss Tweed's swindling operations in New York City when he threw out his defiance and said, "what will you do about it?" Will the election commissioners swear to these returns as correct reports from the Judges and Clerks of election; will the Secretary of State issue certificates of election upon them; will judges and clerks of election take an oath on the Bible or on the Constitution that these reports are true, when they admit recording more votes than were registered, and discarding hundreds of votes that were registered? Will they add perjury to robbery? Who wants to be patriotic under conditions which tolerate such things? The freedom and protection of the ballot is the point at which patriotism and preparedness ought to commence. The law needs be fairly administered, all men protected in their rights and the sancitiy of the ballot as well as the majesty of the law maintained. The ballot robbers should be punished by law.

LOUISE ARGUS There are 600 French artists—all the able-bodied ones, it is said—mobilized for the carrying on of a vast system of what, for lack of a better descriptive name, may be called out-of-doors scene painting, and they work in enormous so-called "studios"—in reality, open yards—in the Belleview quarter of Paris, just inside the northeastern section of the old fortified enclave. The objects of which they paint are all of natural size—trees, houses, churches, towers, villages, towns, fortresses, parks of artillery, stacks of munitions, aviation sheds, railway trains, camps, regiments of men reposing, etc. For months the French have been using this outdoor stage scenery near the hostile front to mislead and deceive the enemy. It is only lately, I believe, that the German air scouts have begun to suspect the deception practiced upon them, and even since they have been thus forewarned, it is not easy for them to distinguish the false from the real features of a landscape. You can imagine, therefore, what degree of skill is shown in devising the former. Since I called attention some months ago to the number of artists who has been killed or wounded in battle, virtually all the members of the profession have been withdrawn from service under arms, to perform this other service which the military authorities regard, it is said, as of equal importance. Great secrecy has been observed with regard to it. "We hardly use any brush," said a celebrated artist, to me, "that is smaller than a broom!"—American Art News. PERSONAL WASTE HEAVY TAX Standard Oil Would Soon Go Bankrupt on "System" That Most Americans Follow. How many mornings does your cook spoil the toast? You don't know. Nor do you keep tabs on the 50 other apparently trifling things of every day. From the moment you draw an unnecessary amount of water for your morning bath until you have touched the push-button and stopped that tireless electric meter at night and retire to rest it is waste plus "don't know" all along the line, writes "Glirard" in the Philadelphia Public Ledger. If Standard Oil was as careless with its pennies as a man making $10 a week is with his, it would be bankrupt before Christmas. But you know well enough that you've got to be wide awake to snatch even one cent from J. D. R. And here is President Rea's railroad, which has run passenger trains 3,000,000 miles without killing a passenger. Why? Because he has made in three and one-half years 2,500,000 tests to see that his trainmen observe the rules of safety. But, heigh-ho, you never test anything in your smaller affairs to see how many little spigots are pouring out pennies needlessly. Just the same they are taxing you a great deal more than your church pew. News has reached Rome of the discovery in Cyrenaica of what are described as "the most wonderful archeological finds of the century." Perhaps the most interesting is a statue of Alexander the Great, over 55 feet in height, in a perfect state of preservation. Among the other relics unearthed, are a head of Athena, believed to be a copy of the Greek original of the fifth century, a unique example of Eros (love), showing the exact position of the bow and also the most perfect specimen of a satyr (sculptured) yet discovered. Other exquisite specimens of Greco-Roman art found in the tiny Temple of Isis include a giant statue of Mercury and a group of the Three Graces, the marble of which is as good as new. All the three heads are intact. With such discoveries a great impetus is being given to the work of exploration and the Italian garrison troops are engaged in opening up the Temple of Jupiter. The masterpieces discovered will probably be transferred to Rome. Somebody rises to inquire how much water a cow will drink during warm weather. Well, that depends, replies the Coffeyville Journal. Where a hydrant is handy, a tubful a day is plenty for her. If her owner is obliged to draw it from a well with a bucket and rope, she will drink from half a barrel to a barrel. If the water must be hauled her thirst increases according to the distance traveled to get it. Water brought from two miles away will be consumed at the rate of three barrels a day, three miles five barrels, and above that distance no practical test has ever been made, as no means has ever been provided to get the water fast enough.—Kansas City Star. One curious fact may be noted in passing: This war is a war of rivers. The important battles on the western front have all been connected with some river, namely, the Marne, Alsace, Meuse and Somme. On the eastern front great conflicts have taken place on the Vistula, Dvina, Pruth, Dniester, Bug, Styr and Lipa rivers, while the river Tigris was the scene of the British disaster before Kut-El-Amara.

He placed his hand on the shoulder of the man and fixed his gaze. "My friend," he said, "If hard lines strike you, and you don't waver from the straight road, let me know and I'll give you a helping hand." "Bless you!" choked out his pensioner, the tears springing to his eyes — "and the young lady!" He paused, about to cross the threshold, and regarded Sidney thoughtfully and hesitatingly. Then he looked all around the room as if to assure himself that they were alone. He came nearer to the mayor. "Ive something to say that my old pals might call 'double crossing,'" he spoke in a low tone, "but you've made me feel like a man and I want to give you a warning. In the jail I met some old pals. They put me wise to a job you're interested in." "Why, how is that?" inquired the puzzled Sidney. "You generally carry a big sum in city funds in that safe yonder, don't you?" "On occasions," admitted Sidney. "What of it?" "Someone's after it. See here, there's a part of a city gang hired to tap that strong box some dark night." "Hired? you mean—" "The man who sentenced me, your justice of the peace here, is behind the scheme." "Mr. Partin? Oh, incredible, maul! Don't tell me that nonsense!" "It's true," persisted the man, "and you'll be wise if you heed my warning." Sidney Ward sat ruminating over the startling disclosure long after his pensioner had departed. He could not but disbelieve any connection of Partin with a scheme of robbery. He had heard that Partin was in narrow ready money straits, but he decided that, out of hatred toward Partin for sentencing him, Boyce had attempted to cast suspicion upon him. Besides that, Partin had gone to the city for a week a few days previous and this did not look as though he was linked up with any local misdolls. Still, it was best to be on guard, for Boyce had been very earnest in what he had said. Sidney unlocked the safe. From an inner compartment he removed a large box envelope containing the entire local tax collection in large denomination bills to be shipped to the county seat the last day of the month. Then, about to close the safe, a queer smile crossed the face of Sidney. He went over to his desk and fished out a package done up in a newspaper. Opening it, he revealed what looked like thousands and thousands of dollars in government bank bills. This he placed in the safe, relocked it, went to the bank, found some of the clerks there and placed the money envelope in their charge on a trust receipt. Two nights later the mayor's office was burglared, the safe blown open. Two days later three men were arrested in a neighboring city for passing counterfeit money. One of them was Gene Partin, and he never returned. Somehow the wisdom and prudence of the mayor leaked out and he received an ovation. He told Myra confidentially of how her part in bringing Boyce to his notice had defeated the looters. "You deserve to be mayor," he declared. "You may be mayoress, if you will say the word, Myra. Do I deserve the happiness I crave?" "You could have asked me that question long since," said Myra. "And you would have said—" "Yes, of course," answered Myra, and the official lips greeted her loyal ones with the first love kiss. Young but Wise. The old baby crawled along the snow until he came to the side of the cliff. Then he pulled himself up until he stood on his feet and looked over and down on the new baby. "Just arrived?" he said. "Yeah." "Well, let me give you a piece of advice. I've been hear a couple of months and know the whole game. Don't believe anything you hear, kick off the clothes as much as you can, scream loudly at all hours of the night and make trouble galore for everybody. You are surrounded by criminals. It's the only way you can get even. My boy, you're up against it—hard." The new baby wriggled a toe and looked bored. "Keep your advice to yourself," he replied. "You're dotty. By the latest dictum of psychology, the doctrine of nonresistance is the only thing to practice. Go off and mumble to yourself. You belong to a past generation. You're a back number." Twisting over calmly, he murmured to himself: "What airs these ancient totterers give themselves!"—Life. It took a bartender with a pretty good sense of humor to pull this one. One day a nondescript individual sauntered into the barroom where this particular bartender was working and ordered a drink of whisky. The bartender set out the whisky glass and the large glass for the chaser. The customer disregarded the small whisky glass and poured the larger glass almost to the top and drank the fiery liquid like so much milk. He then laid a dime down on the bar. The bartender took the coin, rang up a nickel on the cash register and gave him oak the change. "Gee, I thought a drink of whisky was a dime here," the stranger said. "Oh, no," returned the bartender. "You see when we sell it like that we give wholesale prices."—Exchange Safe Sane Economical SUPREME OFFICE, ST. LOUIS, MO. KNIGHTS & LADIES OF LINCOLN.

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 rates 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 it 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 collectors does not call in a few days, send your money into the office or phone Bomont 1452, and one will be sent to you. HELP THE BLIND HELP THE BLIND Buy Your Brooms and Mops From the Missouri Association for the Blind. Insist on Your Grocer Keeping Them. Make This a Practice. The Missouri Association for the Blind is doing a very commendable work for the unfortunate blind in our city. A visit to their factory will convince anyone of the good work that how enthusiastic these men are at their work. These men are anxious to work; they are glad to work; their mops and brooms are just as good as any you may see on the market. You can help these men by buying their brooms and mops at your grocery store or phone direct to their factory. They sell wholesale and retail. Insist on having their goods when you are ready to buy your next broom. The more the demand, the more men can be employed. The men receive a salary and are taught the trade. The Colored men have a foreman, Mr. A. B. Jackson, 3037 Pine Street, and while he is blind, he can inspect the mops and detect any defect quicker than a man with two good eyes, who is not trained. Their work is good. Call for their brooms and mops. WONDERFUL spirit Medium KINKY Possessed of many strange secrets, more wonderful than ever.

It would not be wise to refuse .all money because we had seen a few counterfeit bills, but it would be wiser to learn the difference between the genuine‘and the counter- felt, Even so it may be profitable to gonsider what a genuine revival of re- ligion is, whiy it is often necessary and what can be done to promote it. A revival is simply a renewal of spir- ttual life which has grown dormant. Strictly speaking it applies only to Christians, for those who have no splr- Itual life cannot have it renewed, You cain revive a drooping plant, but not a dead one. So those in whose hearts Christ dwells may have their love for ‘him increased, but one who has never been converted cannot be revived. However, when’ Christians are revived the unsaved are sure to be converted, though this is by no means the prin- cipal benefit. 2 That the spirit does'move upon a church or community at times in an anusual manner cannot be dénied. In place of apathy and indifference we behold attention and interest. God's word seems attractive, God’s house is thronged night after night regardless of he weather of the season of the Year’ Old feuds are forgotten, old enemies-are reconciled, and everybody feels that they ought to settle-up with God and man, whether it involves a hearty confession, or the paying of a ‘debt or the restoration of what has Te awa - 1, It awakens excitement, Thal i docs Excitement ia a good thing: if the object be a worthy one, 2 Seren of lost men and is certainly § worthy object.

(See chapter 8:18, 16, 19). Paul urges, he besceches; he 1s winsome, though he might com- mand. To “present” technically means, “pring an offering gio God." The body is the sum of all human faculties, physical and spiritual. It must not be defiled by being ylelded as an instru- ment to st, for it is the temple of God. ( Cor. 3:16, 17). A “Living Of- fering,” (not as the bodies of slain animals offered by Jews) 1s a conse- eration of the body, and not a destruc- tion of life. ‘The original means that this—the offering of ourselves as a Uying sacrifice—is, a reasonable, ra- tional service. God has the right of ownership of every member of our body, and there never was a day when there was greater need of tnsisting upon a Christianity that affects -the bodies of meri than today. Hands, lps, years, eyes—every member :should. be constantly presented to him who pur- chased it by the blood of his own Son. (Cor. 6:20; I Pet. 1:18-19.).

Waneed WOLF BROS. 1214 0. Sona Ave, indlanapoisin., U.S. Negro Football Star Wins Place In Hall Of Fame The greatest sensation of the 1916 football season in the defeat of Yale and Harvard by the Brown University (Providence, R.I.) eleven. Greater than the victory, however, is the fact that this remarkable machine was built around a Negro half back, Fred D. "Frita" Pollard. Neither of the two great elevens succeeded in crossing Brown's goal line and, while Yale may have lost anyhow, it is agreed upon by experts that Pollard alone prevented Harvard from scoring. Of him Bob Fisher, the Harvard coach, writes: "The team was built around Pollard, who proved himself one of the greatest halfbacks of modern times. It is hard to understand how a light, small man could last through an entire game, maintaining his speed at all times. It must be remembered that Pollard was a marked man by our players, and such a man never receives gentle treatment. His display of pluck and persistence was remarkable." Pollard is 21 years old, a sophomore at Brown University and has two more seasons to play before graduating. His wonderful playing this season undeniably has won for him a place in the gridiron hall of fame, the All-American Team. He is an all-around star and should be without a peer in his graduating year. John E. Wray, of the Post-Dispatch, says, "According to all precedent Pollard ought then to be named captain of the 1918 eleven, considering his remarkable service.

FRED POLLARD (Century of St. Louis Post-Dispatch) THEATRES THOUSANDS SEE "THE LITTLE GIRL NEXT DOOR" Only Two Days Left to Attend the Big Moral Drama at the Booker Washington Theater—Good Vaudeville Show Offered. "The Little Girl Next Door," a six reel photoplay, based on evidence given before the Illinois Vide Commission, which is being run at the Booker Washington Theatre this week is one of the strongest sermons on the pitfalls and dangers in the path of young girls ever delivered in the pulpit or on the stage. Its vivid tales of dissipation and adventure, which actually existed in the dens of Chicago and Illinois, are depicted with the fascination of a great drama and a convincing power of truth. It is a strong argument against parental recklessness and an impressive warning to young girls. The picture started Monday noon and is being shown every afternoon and night this week only. The two remaining matinees, Saturday and Sunday, will start at 12 o'clock and the night shows including the vaude ville at 6 p.m. Several thousand persons have already viewed the play. This will be the only chance for the Colored people of this city to see it. A good vaudeville show rounds out the big program this week. George Lewis, a singer and dancer, makes his biggest hit with a personality song done to the tune of "Hestitation Blues." He also does well in an old man character song and buck dance. Miss Ora Criswell, in excellent voice and as funny as ever, creates a spontaneous combustion of laughter with her monologue, scores big with her singing, and closes with her own version of "Shimme Shawabble," taking the house by storm. Mack and Mack present an act full of original side-splitting comedy. Their songs, dances and burlesque work keeps the audience roaring. Their dance with the dummies is a big hit and closes the show leaving the patrons in a vein of extremely good humor. TENTH CAVALRY AT CARRIZAL The 'sensational moving picture, "Trooper of Troop K," was given its initial showing last week at the Booker Washington Theater, and the breathless interest of the large audiences at each showing of this triumph, of a Negro motion picture producing company was only broken when stress gave away to round after round of applause. The battle scenes are true to actual occurrences which developed at Carrizal, Mexicano, when Troops C and K were ambushed and almost annihilated by treacherous Carranza soldiers. The story leading up to the battle gives a pathetic but humorous account of how "Shiffless Joe" is persuaded to enlist by Clara Holmes, a young girl who is interested in his welfare.

Sumner Meets Western College Turkey Day The annual foot ball classic, the turkey-day treat, will be held at the High School Campus, Kingshighway and Manchester, between Summer High and Western College of Macon, Mo. It will surely be the treat of the season. Never before has Summer met so worthy a foe. Western College succeeded in humbling the great Western University of Quindaro, Kansas, two weeks ago, 6-0. Western University had previously humbled Lincoln High of Kansas City, Mo. 20-0. By comparative scores it would seem that Western College is at least three touchdowns better than Lincoln High of Kansas City, whom Summer played last Thanksgiving day. Summer has a team this year which is not as strong in all departments as in previous years, due to the fact that the men are "green" --- CLAIRVOYANT ASTRAL DEAD TRANCE SPIRIT MEDIUM Standing Challenge $5,000 for His Equal.

Lady Attendant. Wet Mediums Developed. NOTE—These calls for pastime, curious and frivolous persons are only wasting time calling on Prof. Gladstone. Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the renowned paychic 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. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark chasm which separates the human body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be is told.

A men, this being their first year on the team. There were only four regulars from last year as a nucleus for a team. Coach Giles, by dint of hard work, has turned out a splendid machine of which Sumner and all Summerites may be proud on Thanksgiving day. Jack Williams, Captain Yeager, Bo. bo, Dickerson, H.

The game is to be called at 2:30 p. m. Any one may reach the park by taking the Taylor car south, or the Manchester car west. Columbia Defeats Sumner Alumni Such former high school stars as Peterson, Staten, Thompson, Bailey, Green and others departed Saturday night at 9 o'clock for Columbia where they expected to partake of a healthy piece of "bacon," only to meet with grim disappointment. The St. Louis boys realized what was expected of them at home and they entered the game confident, with plenty of pep, grit and determination. From the kick-off to the close of the game, every man on the team played the game of his life, but the odds of lack of practice, absence of the regular fullback, Young, and halfback M. Coleman, coupled with the weight of the opposing team, could not be overcome. The game was a thrilling one from start to finish, besprinkled here and there with spectacular end sweep by Bailey and Green, with live plumges for big gains by Peterson and Cobb, together with perfect tackling work by Thompson and Davenport. The Alumni line tally came in the second quarter when tackle Peterson broke the line and scooped up a fumbled ball and ran 45 yards for a touchdown. On a close decision, the ball was called wild in the goal kick. Work by Paxton and Staten as guards deserves mention. Staten at left tackle did remarkable work as he had never tried out with squad before. V. Williams replaced him at tackle and "pushed Pete for the honors at tackle." Capt. Bailey of the Alumni: has this to say: "With a bit more of practice and the help of Halfback Coleman and Fullback Young, substituting Young on the line, leaving Cobb in full, we would have been able to defeat Columbia with their advantage of weight. A gather, foes are made friends, lost property is recovered, the mist is brushed away from business ventures, the hand is so guided that failures are averted, the earth's surface is explored, its treasure ladda bare to his mysterious perceptive mind, and while he gives names, dates, names, and facts he is founded at the revelations he makes to him. He is surely a man of the passing time. GLADSTONE is not a clairvoyant from choice, but because fate has no decree it. His ancestors were powerful mediums and have for ages handed down their wonderful power of gift from generations to generation. So he has received the rich inheritance together with the combined knowledge and priceless experience of generations. No matter what your present trouble may be or what your past experience has been, you will save time and avoid disappointment by at once consulting Gladstone. NOTE: Gladstone answers no letters. If you cannot call in person, do not write, as his time is fully occupied with his personal calls. TAKE WELLSTON HODIAMONT OB HAMILTON CARS Sunday, 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. Wednesdays CABANY 1348 Ime.
