NEWS OF LYNCHING SURPRISES THE PRESIDENT BOOZE RESENTS TRAITOR CHARGE Says Howard Was Not Fairly Elected. Supported Mulvihill Because Of Life Long Friendship. Denies Speech Reported By The Press. The People's Paper The Trade Maker VOL. VL. NO. 46 NEWS O Tells Delegation BOOZE RES TRAITOR Says Howard Was Not Supported Mulvihill Long Friendship. D ported By The Pres In a lengthy communication to a friend this week, Eugene P. Booze, of Mound Bayou, Miss, answers the reports of his speech before the National Republican Committee at St. Louis, February 12th. After describing the local political conquest of factions and preliminaries leading to the committee meeting, Mr. Booze explains his reason for coming to St. Louis by saying: "I had no idea of being called upon to take part in the contest until shortly before the meeting of the National Committee. Dr. Sherod and Mr. Mulvihill requested me to meet them in St. Louis to do what I could to get the case of Mulvihill properly before the Committee. My reasons for complying with their request were these: "First, I did not believe Perry W. Howard I had been fairly elected and I wanted to lend my assistance to help break up the old method in handling committees and carrying conventions in Mississippi Republican politics. "Second, Mr. Mulvihill and Dr. Sherod have always been personal political friends to me and the interest I represent and I did not see how I could consistently ignore the request of friends of long standing to satisfy the whims of my political adversary.

The St. Louis Argus "Third, I contend that it is neither good religion, business or politics for us as a race, to try by unfair means and appeals to race prejudice, to crush out of prominence the few stalwart white Republicans who are able and willing to help keep the party alive in Mississippi, I give the Negro a man's chance in the race of life. "Fourth, I have known Mr. Mulvihill from my boyhood days. Our families are old acquaintances and life-long friends. He is among the few white republicans of Mississippi who have shown regard for Negro manhood, and an interest in their development. Four Negro mailing clerks and nearly all the mail carriers of Vicksburg received their appointments from his hands while he was Postmaster, and largely by his influence they are retained under the present Postmaster. He is a business man of standing and ability and enjoys the esteem and friendship of every Negro I know in Vicksburg, and I predict that under Mr. Mulvihill's reign as National Republican Committeeman, new life will be injected into political affairs of this state. (Continued on Page 4.) SEPARATE CAR BILL INTRODUCED BY REPUBLICANS Lonisville, Ky., Feb. 25.—The second separate street car bill to be introduced in the Republican City Council in the last month was sprung Tuesday night, Feb. 18, in the Board of Aldermen by R. B. Hill, who is in the organ making business. When a similar bill was introduced by W. H. Zolser about a month ago, Colored Louisville thought it had received its greatest shock, for never in the history of the country has an incident been found—where such measures were introduced by Republicans. But it received a great shock this week when it learned Hill had proposed a more drastic measure. But Colored Louisville is resigned now and nothing the Republicans do will surprise it. This separate cur business is becoming monotonous and seems to be a monthly affair. That such proposals and suggestions are bound to cause trouble, cannot, be denied even though harmful, cannot be denied even though the powers that be assert such a bill will never become a law. TWO NEGROES ACCIDENTALLY KILLED MONDAY, ANOTHER FOUND DEAD, CHILD BURNED TO DEATH Two Colorid men met violent deaths Monday, a third was found dead from natural causes and a little girl was fatally burned. At 6 p. m. Huston Traves, 54 years old, 3203 Lacoble Avenue, a laborer in the employ of the United Railways at 39th and Park Avenue was instantly killed while at work, when struck by a Compton Avenue car. At 2:30 p. m. Imae Gales, 24 years old; 2725 Lawton Avenue, was killed at the plant of the Independent Packing Co. He was caught by a chain attached to a mechanical hogscraper and his neck broken. At 3:30 p.m. the body of Clement Grahain, 40 years old, a cripple who for many years sold papers at Jefferson Avenue and Olive Street, was found in a vacant house at 2216 Olive Street. Mrs. Mattie Harvey, of 3518 Cozentz Avenue, found her daughter, Mary Ellar, 19 months old, with her clothing after in the kitchen of her home. The child was dead when she reached the City Hospital. Nelson, a 2½-year-old son of Mrs. Harvey, said he threw a lighted paper in the child's lap. Try, an Argus Want Ad. Published In The Interest Of Colored People Thompson Landin Machine Meets An Other Waterloo In Republican Primary Contest Tuesday. Winning Candidate Sure of Election (Special to the Argus.) Chicago, Ill., Feb. 27.—The Thompson Landin machine met another Waterloo in the Republican primary contest today. They were routed in each instance where they "dipped in" on the aldermanic primaries. In the 2nd ward, or "black belt," which made Mayor Thompson politically, the old city hall machine went totering. Oscar DePriest, discredited former alderwent down to defeat before State representative Robert R. Jackson, who was supported by the better element in the ward. Both De Priest and Jackson are Colored men. The city hall people put up a "gum shoe" fight for DePriest and came out in the open last night. They thought then they were going to win. Senator Ettelson's followers appeared in the open for Oscar DePriest in the Second Ward, aided by the Deneen fraction. The Mayor's cabinet members seat in at least ten workers to a precinct—there are, seventy four precincts. Senator George Harding, who is back of Maj. Jackson, played as a strong a hand, and it is estimated that the Second Ward has at least 1,500 paid workers, mostly Colored. Jackson Wins by 292 Men. Women. Total Kobert R. Jackson, 2,771, 1,718, 4,489 Oscar De Priest . . . 2,589, 1,608 4,197 The Municipal Voters League favoured Major Jackson. The organization accused De Priest of being harsh, a bully and dishonest in politics. LEADING BAPTIST CHURCH A SCENE OE RIOT AND DISORDER (Special to The St. Louis Argus.) (Special to The St. Louis Argus.) Chicago, Ill., Feb. 29.—Your correspondent visited Olivet Baptist Church, one of the leading churches here last Tuesday night to be present at a great political debate between De Priest and his followers on one side and Maj. Robert R. Jackson and his followers, on the other, as candidates in the primary aldermanic contest. The De Priest followers did not agree with the program committee's arrangement of the program. De Priest wanted to speak to his followers, before leaving the church, on being denied that privilege, he left, waving his hands to his followers to follow. Men and women became frenzied and yelled vehemently and it was only through the efforts of detectives and police together with the executive power of the presiding officer, P. A. Glanton, that serious trouble was averted. A reckless disregard of the rights of God's house, and the officers of the club of which the disorderly faction was a guest, was greatly demonstrated. The church was a scene of riot and disorder, breaking of chairs, insulting of women, trampling women under foot and thereby causing many of them to faint. The conduct in that house of worship was the personification of rufianism and contrary to decency, much displeasing to God, Rev. L. K. Williams, one of the foremost preachers of the Baptist denomination is pastor of Olivet Church, and is being criticized for allowing a political meeting to be held at the church.

Says Any Colored Man Who Votes Against Him is a Traitor to Race and Democracy NEW YORK. Feb. 26.—Unaccompanied by a white escort, Mrs. Howard Gould addressed a crowded Negro campaign meeting tonight. The meeting was held in Mother Zion Church, One Hundred and Thirty sixth Street, near Seventh Avenue. Mrs. Gould appealed for votes for a Colored candidate for the House of Representatives—Reverdy C. Ransom—who is put forward for Congress by the United Civic League. The election is to take place next Tuesday. With the exception of three reporters, Mrs. Gould was the only white person in the house, stunningly dressed, and did not seem at all embarrassed by her ad adventure. Her automobile, which waited for her outside the church created much enthusiasm in the neighborhood. Mrs. Gould, although she referred more than once to her Southern birth and family, gave expression to sentiments of equality between the white and Colored races. Speaking of the Colored soldiers in the National Army, she said they had "white hearts under a black skin." Reverting to the congressional election, she said: "Any Colored man in this district who votes against Ransom is a traitor to his race and to democracy. If the white man, the Republican capita, tries to insist on your voting for his man, he is begging you and is not your friend." EDITOR STILL CONFINED J. E. Mitchell.

Out of the many things he said, if taken up and acted upon will prove beneficial to the order. We feel at last, that we have the right man in the right place. Rev. W. H. Harris, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Jefferson Ave. and Morgan Ave. spoke on the subject. The Order's Right to Operate. He spoke of the institution of the order in America and showed the many things the order has done and is doing, why the order has a right to operate, and in a moment he seemed to take flight like a thunderbolt from a clear sky at high noon and held the audience spellbound for about twenty minutes. While he spoke, our hearts were made to burn with joy to know that the 20th Century-Lodge members are a part of the great organizations in the world. Mrs. Zinnor Nichols Mrs. W. H.

Unable: To Answer So Many Letters, Args Argus To Tell Them He Appreciates Their Greetings and to Accept This message as a Reply To All. Chas. H. Turpin, proprietor of the Booker Washington Theatre, is one man who has been doing more than "his but" for the soldier boys during these war times. A reporter visited his office in the theater building this week and noticed a pile of letters on his desk, all post marked Camp Funston. Upon inquiring, he was informed that these were from our boys at the camp, thanking him for the uniting interest he is taking in their welfare and his efforts to make them happy. Not only has Mr. Turpin bought Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps, subscribed to the Red Cross and other war movements, but he has always boosted same in his theater. Everyone well remembers the record breaking "Midnight Ramble," for which he not only denoted the house and attaches and bought 300 tickets himself, but willingly paid for more than $30 damage the big crowd did to the fixtures on that night. Not being satisfied with well doing, Mr. Turpin has gone further; he is now supplying the boys with moving pictures which are being shown to-them free in the Camp Y. M. C. A. At present he is giving them a series of "Pictures of Negro Life in St. Louis." These pictures are now dear to the hearts of the boys who have been called away and is the cause of the many letters, with showers of thanks he is receiving. So great has been the deluge that he has been unable to acknowledge each individually and he has asked the Argus to tell the boys he appreciates their greetings and to accept this message as a reply to all their letters. For the benefit of hundreds of St. Louisans who were prevented by the street car strike from seeing the motion pictures of, "Our Boys at Camp Funston," Mr. Turpin is reproducing them at the Booker Washington Theater this Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a matinee at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. LIBERTY DAY CELEBRATION WEDNESDAY NIGHT MARCH 6 American Woodsman Camps throughout the country are celebrating Liberty Day, and St. Louis Camp, No. 12, will observe Liberty Day at their regular meeting place which is Douglas Hall. The general public is invited and the admission as well as refreshments will be served free. Dr. J. E. Hurt, who is the State Grand Master of the Mosaic Templars of America, but who is one of the strongest boosters for Wooderaff, will be the principal speaker of the day. The Ladies' Drill Team, which is in dependant of the Men's Uniform Rank, will give an exhibition drill on the night of the celebration. Any person under 50 years of age may join that night for $1,000. Uniforms for the Ladies' Drill Team are being designed and soon the ladies will appear in their military attire. One drill camp has been organized and Mrs. Mattie E. Malone, who is in charge of the Ladies' Drill Team will form one more on the night of the celebration. Ladies, come out and join the Drill Team, learn how to drill and wear the uniform. Be a soldier girl. The Slaughter System The Slaughter System There was much interest manifested in the attendance of the Slaughter System Agents of St. Louis, at their regular monthly meeting, which was held last Monday evening, 7:00 o'clock, at the College. Plans were laid by which each agent would conduct her business for this year. Knowing that they are working under a system, with a preparation which actually grows the hair, they did not refrain from expressing a desire to keep The Slaughter System with the largest local trade of any other similar system here. After the transaction of business, refreshments were served; all left with a hope of making the next meeting as pleasing, if not more, than the February meeting. The agents hold their meetings the fourth Monday evening, in each month, at 7:00 o'clock at the College, 3001 Lawnth Ave. All are urged to be present at their March meeting on time, as new business will be discussed. N. A. A. C. P., Delegation Cordially Received By Nation's Chief Executive, Who Promises To Give Whole Matter His Sympathetic Attention. SMILEAGE BOOKS STATE SUPERVISOR SALE OVER MAR.5 THANKS MCMAHON (N. A. A. C. P., Press Service.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 25—President Wilson on Tuesday afternoon, February 20, received a delegation of four members of the New York Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by special appointment. The delegation placed before the president a petition signed by twelve thousand citizens of New York in which the president was asked to extend executive clemency to five Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry now under sentence of death by verdict of the court martial which tried the Houston riot cases, and requesting the president to cause to be laid before him a review of the cases of the forty-one soldiers of the same regiment who were sentenced to life imprisonment by the first court martial. James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the association, acted as spokesman and after asking clemency for the soldiers, said: "We feel that the history of this particular regiment and the splendid record for bravery and loyalty of our Negro soldier in every crisis of the nation gives us the right to make this request. And we make it not only in the name of their loyalty, but also in the name of the unquestioned loyalty to the nation of twelve million Negroes—a loyalty which today places them side by side with the original American stocks that landed at Plymouth and Jamestown. "The hanging of thirteen men with out the opportunity of appeal to the Secretary of War or to their commander-in-chief, the President of the United States, was a punishment so drastic and so unusual in the history of the nation that the execution of additional members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry would to the Colored people of the country savor of vengeance rather than justice. No Whites Punished No Whites Punished "This state of mind has been intensified by the significant fact that all though white persons were involved in the Houston affair and the regiment to which the Colored men belonged was officered entirely by white men, none but Colored men, so far as we have been able to learn, have been prosecuted of condemned." Tells of Lynchings After calling the President's atten The "Smilage Book" campaign will come to a close on Tuesday, March 4. Indications are that enough books will have been sold before that time to furnish each draffee at Camp Funiston with one of these tokens of remembrance. Encouraging reports are coming in from the Colored business places where the books are on sale. The women, under the leadership of Mrs. Julia Cordell and Mrs. Gertie C. Wilson, from the Colored Unit of the Woman's Council of National Defense, have been making a house to house canvases with telling effect. Each book contains 20 tickets and each ticket is good for one admission to the moving picture show at the camp. The book of 20 tickets costs $4.00. "THE SON OF DEMOCRACY" AT PENDLETON THEATRE THURSDAY "Abraham Lineo, the boy and the man, are the leading characters in 'The Son of Democracy,' the Pura mount-series, produced by Benjamin Japin, which will begin its run at the Pendleton Theatre, Thursday, March 7. "The Son of Democracy" is first a splendid entertainment. It has all the elements of the best features—first rateights, gasp bringing thrills, genuine comedy, moments that bring real tears and always the suspense necessary for a successful play. Throughout the nation it has been recommended by workers for "better pictures." For further information see page 8. An Exponent Or Truth and Justice PRICE 5 CENTS. PRESIDENT Believe It True. NEW CASE OF NED SOLDIERS Delegation Cordially Nation's Chief Execu- mises To Give Whole impathetic Attention. tion to the fact that there were mitigating circumstances for the action of the men of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, Mr. Johnson spoke of the race riots and lynchings, as follows: "And now, Mr. President, we would not let this opportunity pass without mentioning the terrible outrages against our people that have taken place in the last three quarters of a year; outrages that are not only unspeakable wrongs against them, but blots upon the fair name of our common country. We mention the riots at East St. Louis, in which the Colored people bore the brunt of both the cruelty of the mob and the processes of law. And we especially mention the savage-burnings that have taken place in the single state of Tennessee within nine months: the burnings at Memphis, Tenn., at Iyersburg, Tenn., and only last week at Estil Springs, Tenn., where a Negro charged with the killing of two men was tortured with red hot irons, then saturated with oil and burned to death before a crowd of American men, women and children. And we ask that you, who have spoken so nobly to the whole world for the cause of humanity, speak against these specific wrongs. We realize that your high position and the tremendous moral influence, which you shield in the world will give a word, from you greater force, than could come from any other source. Our people are instantly listening and praying that you may find it in your heart to speak that word." Burning Unknown to President The President received the delegation very cordially, and granted them an audience having half an hour. He assured them, in effect, that he would carefully examine the record in the case of the condemned men and would give the whole matter his sympathetic attention. A surprising incident of the interview was that the President declared he had not heard anything about the Estill Springs burning. He asked the committee to state the facts for him, which the committee did. The President expressed the opinion that he could hardly believe it true that such a thing had happened. The delegation assured him that not only was it true in the case at Estill Springs but that similar incidents had happened in Memphis, Tenn., and Dyersburg, Tenn., also.

All sorts of cooking on scientific basis, will be in operation. It is the place for all women who would like to learn the art of saving in their houses. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES A confession of his unworthiness and the faith manifested in Jesus Christ by the Roman Gentile recorded in St. Matthew was the "discourse of the "Praesenter of the West," Sunday a.m. The scene or the place of the above occurrence was beautifully described by the pastor before delving into the main part of his sermon. Some of the striking features of his sermon were the humility and the faith of the despised gentle, "Not worthy that the Master should come his threefold, but speak the word and say servant, shall be healed." Here, the pastor warned against any cult beating of their creed being the only one that is right in the sight of God. One easily remembered what Peter said to Corinne, showing that if any one was right at heart and treated his fellowman as he should be acceptable with God. The sermon was instructive and well-received by the audience. Many were the "Auens" as the pastor would seemly be caught up by the Holy Spirit and brought forth those biblical truths that are so much needed. At the conclusion of the sermon many came rushing forward to mute with the church, some with tears of joy, and some who had backslidden. St. Paul was spiritually alive Sunday and it is hoped that the same spiritual interest will characterize the remainder of his administration. Dr. Johnson is truly a great man and is being loved more and more every day. Hear him Sunday morning. Sunday is Quarterly Meeting day and a full attendance is expected all day as Revs. Peek, Dobbins, Newton, Watson and all pastors of the A. M. E. Church will be present. Dinner will be served by the Stewardess Boards. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH A word from the Taberacle Baptist Church 2726 Pine Street, Rev. S. A. Moseley, D.D., pastor. - We haven't reported anything for several weeks respecting the progress of our church, however, we have not been sleep, or in no wise inactive. During the very severe winter, and the continued illness of our pastor, which has rendered him unable to preach to us his able management has kept the church moving on smoothly. We are glad to say that we were fussed with having him present with us Sunday at 11 a.m. Though physically weak from his protracted illness; our hearts were made to rejoice as be, in his usual way, so logically and profoundly pictured to us "The All Sufficiency of the Grace of God." The Sunday school, B. Y. P. U., and other auxiliaries are all actively at work and show signs of great progress in the future. Sunday evening our Rev. Bro. Wm. P. Mitchell preached to us from the subject, "Growth in Grace." His sermon was the opening signal of our anticipated great revival. Twelve happy souls were received into the fellowship of the church, and a contribution of $158 was raised. The pastor and his very efficient Board have seured the service of Dr. i' H. Wilson of Wacob, Texas, to conduct a three weeks' series of revival meetings, beginning March 3. Dr Wilson is expected to preach his opening sermon at 11 a.m. March 3. Don't fail to be present to hear this great evangelist and Gospel preacher. If you desire to worship in a home-like church, come to Tabernacle where good singing and good preaching brings you to the realization of the old-time Christian fellowship. LANE TABERNACLE "God loves the whole world." This war the subject Rev. Smith missed from his text last Sunday morning. This subject was burned into a beautiful picture visible to everyone in the congregation. Striking points in the sermon were God's attitude towards the world, God's attitude towards sin. The pastor explained that the Lord's prayer sermons would be continued after the close of the revival which is now going on. Rev. S/S. Lander, of Mt. Vernon, Ill., formerly presiding elder of the St. Louis district, arrived Monday and will assist the pastor throughout the meeting. Rev. Lander preaches the gospel in the good old fashioned way.

JAMES' CHURCH "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth." Acts, 1st chap. 8th verse, was the text announced by Dr. Clark, Sunday morning. Theme: "The Christian Witness." "There have been spiritual witnesses in man's soul ever since the world began," said the speaker. "Abraham, Job, Isaiah, and Daniel were all spiritual witnesses. The difference between them and the Christian witness is, they had not the personal touch with Jesus." To the query of the apostles, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the king- dom to Israel, the Master replied, "We shall receive power." No man can be a Christian witness without receiving the power of the Holy Ghost. This is attained by concentration, consecration and preparation. The power of the Christian witness is not in what he knows but what he does. Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator, knew it was wrong to own slaves, and said, "It the opportunity ever comes I shall strike a death blow to slavery." It came but he had not the power. Finally when the guns of Lee, Jackson and Price were tearing the knight into pieces, the Lincoln said, "An cannot together" said, "Gentlemen, I called you here, not to ask your permission, to but see me sign the Emancipation Proclamation." He had caught the vision and received the power. If it takes the fires of prejudice, mob-violence, lynching and persecution to refine the character of our people, then let the fires burn. It was a wonderful sermon. Dr. Peck was at his best and the immense congregation sat enraptured, feasting upon the divine truths set forth by this eminent pulpitre. One united with the church.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There are so many so called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in hair tonies. In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Scoy's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nurtures the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made attentively out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is at a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fuffy and imports a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each, if your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

When sort of a small mind is pretext, and to use an amouflage. Negro is used to this kind of argument, so is sent on to the curves of Mr. Lockwood. Why is it against suffrage as proposed for the women? Colored women, as an excuse? Why is Lack about the voters in the South, anyway? He not already know, that "the mills of the they grind exceedingly fine." And he and Justice may be cheated but never defeated; they will come into its own as a voter in this colored women.

R. Lockwood, an attorney, is a very amusing fulmination on Negro suffrage. Lockwood is very much concerned about the effect the ratification of the proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution, conferring suffrage upon women, will have upon the South, and proposes to circularize the nation, warning against this "impending peril." "Suffrage for white women is alright, but for Colored women — this will never do," he says. "Colored women are so much smarter than Colored men, that once they get the ballot, they will use it." Hurrah for the women! He pays the Colored women a compliment. They will use it just as white women use it, uninfluenced by the kind of so-called advisors as Lockwood. Then reason fails the next resort of a small mind is pretext, and to use a newer expression, camouflage. The Negro is used to this kind of argument, so is the country, and we are on to the curves of Mr. Lockwood. Why not come out in the open against suffrage as proposed for the women—why hide behind the Colored women, as an excuse? Why is Lockwood so concerned about the voters in the South, anyway? He will learn, if he does not already know, that "the mills of the gods grind slowly but they grind exceedingly fine." And he and his kind will find that Justice may be cheated but never defeated; that the Colored race will come into its own as a voter in this country, both men and women. Whoever would oppose is doomed. Democracy, true Democracy is lifting its head above the miasma of prejudice and hate and Liberty. Justice and Equality are on their way to the mightiest triumph the world has ever seen. The Colored race welcomes the test the amendment will make upon their capacity for governmental participation. Knowing as they do that all men, all races, have fitted themselves for self government. Denying a man participation in the government he fights to uphold, whose flag he carries upon its battlefield, whose institution he exposes his life to defend, may, find justification with Lockwood, but not with those who believe in RIGHT. The Colored women are doing their full share, giving their sons freely to their country's cause, answering every call of their government, as true women have done throughout the history of the world, and black women, white women, all women will break down the barriers of opposition which have too long stood against them and will erect upon the cross of service the Wreath of Love.

When a delegation, representing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People called on the President last week to present the petition of 12,000 New Yorkers and ten million colored citizens in the United States, asking executive clemency for the condemned soldiers of the 21st infantry, we are told that the spokesman incidentally called attention to the horrible lynchings and race riots that have been perpetrated upon the colored people in the past few months. The President expressed surprise when told of the inhuman Estill Springs burning. He had not heard of it and could hardly believe it true. Is it possible that the President has not been acquainted with this and other atrocities? Is it possible that our pleas for justice have been kept from him? We have never been able to understand how so staunch an exponent of worlds democracy could turn a deaf ear to the pleas of the ten million oppressed in America. We now know the truth, he has been unaware of it. We can see a light ahead. We know that, in his great power, one word from President Wilson against mob violence will suffice to make lynching a Federal offense. Will he act, now that he has been apprised of the truth? Will he use his influence to see that the right of the most humblest citizen is protected? If, so then he will have made one monumental step toward making "The World Safe For Democracy."

Good Music. 29a S. 20th Street (Opodite Union Station) St. Louis, Mo (Continued from page 1.) "On the grounds set out, in the above, I appeared before the National Republican Committee in the interest of Hon. M. J. Mulvihill, of Vicksburg, in his contest against Hon. Perry W. Howard of Jackson, for National Republican Committee from Mississippi. Denies Press Reports charged with saying before the National Republican Committee at St. Louis as I have read the reports in the Chicago Defender, St. Louis Argus, and The East Tennessee News of Knoxville. I do not believe Mr. Howard would say that I used such language or expressed such sentiments. Certainly no one acquainted with my thought and action who is unbiased will believe it. "The National Republican Committee called for the hearing of the Mississippi contest late in the afternoon of the 12th. It was understood that Mr. Mulvihill and Mr. Howard, would present and argue their own cause. No one expected to hear anything from Roscoe Conkling Simmons, or myself. But, of course, it was planned by the Mulvihill people that I should be heard if anyone else spoke for Howard. At the conclusion of Mr. Howard's masterly presentation of his weak ease, and during the time Mr. Mulvihill was closing his argument, Roscoe begged Perry to let him say, something. I was sitting close by and heard Perry tell Roscoe that he thought enough had been said, but Roscoe insisted and Perry consented. Roscoe jumped up and started off in his usual characteristic style, and for ten fifteen minutes entertained and amused the committee, who cheerfully applauded him at intervals, but closeup his argument in a disgusting manner by calling the members of the Committee his masters and laying seven hundred thousand voters of his race at their feet as wards crying for pity and mercy. Roscoe sat down without applause and no one shook his hand that I could see. "And then I arose and asked to be heard for a few moments in the interest of Mr. Milkhill. Just as I received recognition by the chairman, at the request of many voices, I heard one of the members of the committee ask, 'Is he a Colored man!' The first thing I can remember saying was: "I am a Colored man, proud of it and perfectly satisfied to make my place as an American citizen, without any desire to be a white man, and I resent being placed at the feet of white men as a ward, and that I recognize no one as my master save Him, who is the master of us all." I told the committee that I could readily forgive Roscoe, because in his effort to entertain and please, he always drew upon his imagination without limit. That I appeared before them as an ordinary business man, representing a corporation whose business transactions last year amounted to more than a half million dollars and they should not expect me to entertain them with the same eloquence and oratory which they had listened to from the Kentucky Colonel. That it was my object to present an argument in a straightforward business-like manner, and I closed with an appeal to the committee not to try the case by the color of the skin or the race to which the contestants belonged, and asked them after a recital of the facts, to render their verdict according to the dictates of their conscience, upon the merits of the case. Their finding is a matter of history and when correctly reported the Negro Republicans of America will not be dissatisfied with the treatment accorded the race by the National Republican Committee at St. Louis, Feb. 12th.

Lankford, 17 N. Channing E. A. McKinacy, 2823 Morgan The Woman of Forty and What She Should Do and Not Do to Hold Her Job The woman of forty and over must learn to obey orders in an office. The woman of forty and over must forget the rules of her former employment and yield to those of the new job. The woman of forty or over should be neat. The woman of forty and over must demand no especial consideration because of her years. These are just a few of the warnings offered the middle-aged woman seeking employment by Mrs. Alice McBride of the Woman's Association of Commerce of Chicago. She has given them to Miss Elizabeth Bennett, temporarily of the employment bureau of the women's division of the state council of defense, and applicants, for work will be with all due delicacy informed that these be good rules to follow. "Too often I've seen the middle-aged woman lose track of herself, as it were, when she is employed, and I know employers put up with her just so long and then she is dismissed. "Men like a neat woman in an office. She need not be a raving beauty if only she be neat and prepossessing. And she need not think that a bit of cosmetic, a bit of powder or a good cream are only the young woman's preoperative. The older woman needs to look well and must see to it that she does. "But most of all, the middle-aged woman finds it difficult to adhere to rules in an office, and too often she irritates by saying, 'At my last place we did so and so.' "Now; then, all the employer cares about is having his own rules carried out and the woman employed will do well to take his viewpoint." Mrs. McBride is a—well, she will not tell her age, her weight or her financial standing. "Iam old enough to know," she says, and those who know her say she most certainly does know from the top of her glossy white hair and perfect complexion to the tips of her perfectly shod feet.

You've called away one dear and friends. For ninety years your name was called, You answered gladly to one and all; But now your voice is hushed in death, And your dear old soul is now at rest. You suffered pain that none can tell, You suffered yet you bore it well; On Friday eve at 6 o'clock, The angels bade your suffering stop. You have gone, Oh, how we miss you still, The vacant chair can never be filled. But your time had come, you could not stay. The angels came and carried you away. Composed by his loving daughter, Mrs. P. T. Taliaferro. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank my many friends for their kindness shown me during the loss of my husband, Burt Johnson, who was buried Feb. 3rd, and specially the New Era Lodge, No. 66 G.U.O. of O.F. of which he was a member and Under-taker Beal for his excellent service.

PERRY PERFORMS DIFICULT OPERATION Dr. J. E. Perry, one of the ranking surgeons of the country, was in the city Tuesday, the guest of the St. Louis Medical Forum. The noted doctor came at the instance of Dr. Chas. H. Philips, for whom he performed a very delicate operation on Mrs. C. Thomas of 4118 fairfax Ave. The operations were performed at the Bailey Sanitarien. Dr. Chas. H. Philips, E. C. Huskel, G. B. Key and J. S. Jaques, assisted. Dr. G. B. Huskel, administered the anesthetic. Dr. Perry followed the procedure of the famous Mayo, which intricate process made the operation on Mrs. Thomas practically bloodless and certainly through. His technique, coolness, and perfect case with which he moves and works, were the praise of the entire Forum, which attended the operation in a body. The distinguished visitor, was royally entertained, having breakfast at the home of Dr. Chas. Phillips, lincheon with Dr. Cheatham and supper with Dr. Breedlove. In the afternoon, he met a committee at the Foro College, and helped to inaugurate plans for the drive for Negro representation in the City Hospital. At night at the Lawton Building, in the office of Dr. Gordon, the Korum gave a smoker and listened to a powerful address by the doctor, on surgery and some points on diagnosis. He declared that surgery is an exact art, that the Colored doctor is surely mastering it and getting more than brilliant results. He commenced the men on their effort and pride in waging a war for civil betterment generally, and especially this fight for Colored doctors, nurses and internes in the City Hospital. He pleased especially for union of nation, union of physicists, union of citizens for one common cause, progress and enlightenment. At the conclusion of his address, he was unanimously elected to honorary membership. Dr. Haskins the vice president, presided. Dr. J. I. Caston was among the three new members. LOOK! LOOK!

ALMATA, Georgia AGENTS WANTED Write for Terms LIGHT GRIP ON FOOD SUPPLY Presidential Proclamation to Request of People a More Intensive Conservation. Washington—The food problem in allied countries has assumed so serious an aspect that President Wilson considers it necessary to request the American people to practice food conservation on a more intensive plan. The formal request will be embodied in a White House proclamation announcing the 1918 program of the food administration. The proclamation, which is designed to release more food for the army and for the allies has been completed. Limiting the sale and distribution of wheat flour will be one of the provisions. Although for the most part, voluntary efforts will be relied on, it is planned to use measures of food conservation in reducing the consumption of some staple commodities.

"The Son of Democracy" consists of ten two-reel dramas, each complete in itself. One is to be presented each week. Mr. Chapin has been working five years on these comedy dramas of early American life. They are bristling with adventure, humor and pathos and are of special interest at this time in that Abraham Lincoln, the boy and the President, are leading characters in the thrilling tales. Benjamin Chapin is known as one of the finest of motion picture directors, with a special talent for genuine humor and heart interest. As an impersonator of Abraham Lincoln, lecturer, vaudeville actor and dramatist, his fame is nation-wide. In "The Son of Democracy," which he wrote, directed and produced, he makes "Abe," a "regular boy" and emphasizes the truly human side of his rise to the Presidency. In the White House stories, Mr. Chapin shows the inside workings of things political, demonstrating that Lincoln's problems were much the same as those of President Wilson. Always the plays are good humored.
