Dr. George Cleveland Hall Pupa St. Louis a White During Inauguration Of the New People's Hospital
During August 12-13 St. Louis had through invitation extended by the Medical Forum, as her guest the famous and noted altruist, Dr. George Cleveland Hall of Chicago. No other man in America could have been more fittingly and wisely chosen than this surgeon, to initiate and inaugurate the opening of the People's Hospital, which is to be the greatest Negro Hospital in the country owned and operated by Negroes.
St. Louis with its 100 per cent loyalty, with its determination, to stand in the front mark of everything civic as well as governmental, will see to it that this great institution, The People's Hospital, will also "go over the top." As Dr. Hall stated, we have the assent of one of the best arranged and largest private hospitals in the country. After the Clinics at the hospital the Medical Forum entertained our distinguished guest at the Manhattan wham. he spoke at length, giving all the details of his experience all he said "be congenial and learn to speak well of each other. Avoid undue criticism." He also spoke of the many ways of making the hospital successful. He also spoke of how much pleasure it is for him to be an honorary member of the Medical Forum and how he prizes his certificate of membership.
Dr. Geo. Cleveland Hall was born in Michigan, on Washington's birthday 1864. He was educated in Chicago and at Lincoln University which institution in after years honed him with the degree of Master of Arts for loyal and useful services, rendered his people. His fearless and courageous disposition manifested even as a boy is largely responsible for his success in later years. Today he stands shoulder to shoulder as a servant to his people with our late Mr. Washington. He is a surgeon of national reputation, superintendent of a hospital which is second to none in the country; he is chairman of the Y. M. C. A. committee who made not only the Y. M. C. A. committee but also others throughout this country. This however was due to his intimate relationship with Mr. Rosenwald. He is leader in social settlement work, an active worker in social uplift and in civile and moral reforma, a Juvenile Court worker and also a leader in a movement for better housing and better sanitation for his people in Chicago.
During the later years of the late Booker T. Washington he was his traveling companion and oftimes his spokesman. It was in this capacity he grasped the opportunity of studying the Negro problem from its many angles, under the direct influence of one of the world's greatest educator.
A few years ago when Provident Hospital of Chicago was left by its founder who accepted the position of Chief Surgeon at Freedman's Hospital of Washington, D. C., it was up to Dr. Hall to take it in charge and develop it to its present high standard of efficiency and services. This did not yet satisfy this uniting, unselfish leader. He toiled on until today he has caused to be in connection with this hospital one of the most thorough post-graduate schools in the country, with some of Chicago's most able men, white and black, enrolled on its faculty.
This post graduate school, of which he is dean, offers to all alike regardless of race or creed an equal opportunity to meet the many changes in medicine and surgery brought on by time and the war. Special courses are given physicians contemplating entering the Medical Reserve Corps of the U. S. Army.
In addition to all these numerous activities and more he never fails to make greater sacrifices of his time so that he can lend a helping hand to doctors in every part of this country where his services are needed. He has set up and dedicated more hospitals and ambulances through this country than any other living man. It was for this reason that the Medical Forum deserves the greatest success of our hospital saw it to have him here to dedicate or inaugrate the People's Hospital of St. Louis.
Dr. Hall is a member of the American Medical Association and an honorary member of the Medical Forum of St. Louis. The latter association is so dear to him that he promised to use all of his influence to place our medical society of St. Louis. (The Medical Forum) on the accredited list, recognized by the American Medical Association. This will mean much to the Medical Forum and to the Negro physicians of our city.
The Medical Forum, with its membership of about 40 physicians was organized by its present chairman, Dr. Chan. Henry Phillip Jr., Jr. It is one of the largest, if not the largest, medical society of Negro physicians west of the Mississippi River. It stands for everything that benefits and uplifts the community as a whole, especially pertaining to the health and efficient service of the Negroes of this great St. Louis. It is in 100 per cent loyal to our Government. Already 10 of its membership have offered their services to the Government, one of whom is now in training in the Canadian Army. We want to ensure the Negroes of St. Louis that every civic welfare which means
According to press dispatches from Dewey, Ok, a mob of more than five hundred white men set fire to and burned every Negro home in a section of that city last Monday eve. Just how many persons were burned alive could not be learnt, but insufficient to say that a large number had their lives or perished in the fights. Only one Negro home was spared, that of an old woman. Bad feelings had been brewing for several days, due to labor troubles and strikes, are said to be the principal cause of the trouble, but the direct cause was precipitated when a Negro, Ned Widow, shot the chief of police and another, man, who attempted to arrest Widow for disarming the peace.
Feeling against all Negroes was high,
and it is feared that many innocent
persons have been murdered.
NEWS STAND DRAWS COLOR LINE
Helm's news stand, confectigency and notion store, on the northeast corner of Vandeventer and Delamar. has a sign conspicuously displayed which reads: "Colored people are not permitted to stand in front of the color pond house." Although this store has been handling newspapers of interest to Colored people, it seems that its Colored patrons are unreachable.

Phillips, Edwards and Hor ten lose. Many Freaks in 4th District Vote.
I wish to sincerely thank the voters of the Fourth Constabulary District and all others who assisted me in my Nomination for Constable on the Republican Ticket at the Primaries August 6.
CHAS. H. TURPIN.
Charles H. Turpin, for Constable in the 9th district and Dr. Wm. M. Hiley, for State Representative in the 5th, here the only Colored man nominated on the Republican ticket in the primaries, Aug. 6. Biley had no opposition. Hogger G. Phillips, for Justice of the People in the 4th, and place by Schuler, 212 votes, J. J. Edwards, for constable in the 4th run last, getting 387. Chas. H. Horton, for constable in the 5th failed to be nominated.
There are many notable surprises in the Fourth District vote. Although Turpin received 996 and Walker only 215 votes in the 19th and 17th, Walker was given 553 to Turpin's 187 in the 6th, leaving him a lead of only 13. Edwards received more votes in the sixth (198) than the 16th and 17th combined (191).
The 17th gave Phillips 390, Schuler 292, and Boepple, who did not campaign, 115 votes. In the sixth where Boepple was active, he received only 109 votes, Phillips 142, and the heavy vote went to Schuler, 571. The Negro precincts in the 6th ward are 10, 11, 12, 15, 14. These gave Schuler 198, Phillips only 89; Walker 141; Turpin 121. It is significant that in the 12th, where there are not over 10 white votes, Phillips got only 22 votes to Schuler's 50, and Turpin got 35 to Walker's 44. The Negro precincts in the 17th ward have Colored judges and clerks; but the ones in the 6th are served entirely by white. It is stated, that two white republicans were transferred from other wards to the 12th precinct and appointed on July and 22, although the new representatives in a precinct 39 days before eligible for appointment.
Summing up the return, the remarkable difference between the Colored vote in the 6th and 17th is conspicuous. One of two things seems certain. Either there is a vast difference in sentiment between the voters in the two wards, or there has been fraud committed.
The follohe wing is the vote by wards:
For Justice of the Peace
6th 16th 17th Total
McChesney 389 79 661 1129
Schuler 571 42 292 905
Phillips 142 61 390 593
Boepple 109 9 145 333

COMMISSIONER RULES THAT JIM
GROW LAWS ARE INVALID
Baltimore, Md.—Gen. Council William Cabell Bruce, of the Public Service Commission gave an opinion that the commission has no authority as to the segregation of white and Colored people on interstate railroads. The matter was brought before the commission in a complaint by Dr. William T. Wright, who said that the Washington, Baltimore, and Annapolis railway is segregating the two races on its care running between Washington and Baltimore.
Mr. Bruce stated that the courts have held that the Maryland legislation cannot put into effect segregation regulations affecting interstate transportation agencies, and if the legislation cannot do that it follows that the creature of the legislature, the Service Commission cannot.
The question is one of the national authorities. Jim Crow laws passed some years ago are in effect on transportation agencies operating entirely within the State.

NEGROES EXCEL WITH BAYONETS
London, Aug. 8.—Officers from the front bring astonishing reports of the work done by American Negro troops brigaded with General Gouraud's army east of Rheims. Their speciality is the bayonet, in the use of which they excel all others. They prefer cold steel and they have piled up a score in killing Germans which breaks all previous records.
HOSTESS HOUSE AT CAMP DODGE
HOSTESS HOUSE AT CAMP DODGE
Camp Dodge, Aug. 14.—The Hostess House, for Colored soldiers and their friends is expected to be finished and ready for occupancy by September 1. Mrs. Harry Taylor, of Des Moines, chairman of the building committee for this second Y. W. C. A. comfort station, announces that delays in getting furnishings and other unavoidable hazards have caused the postponement of the opening August 1.—It has now been promised, however, that September 1 will be the date of the opening.

Private Truman F. Parks, Co. G. 352d Infantry, white, was taken back Sunday to Camp Dodge.

Parks had been arrested and held by St. Louis police pending the action of the military authorities.
115 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
UNDER PROPOSED DEAFT AGE
Work or Fight. Hate Will be Fine Weapon to Keep Members On the Job
Washington; Aug. 14.—One hundred and fifteen members of Congress will be subject to Geo Crowder's "work-or-fight" order if the new draft ages. 18 to 45, are approved.
Members of the House and Senate of draft age will be required to register just as everyone of their constituents of the new service ages is, and will have to fill out questionnaires. They will be automatically exempted from service.
Among members in Washington there was a discussion of the possibilities for good under the "work-or-fight" order, and those men who become impatient at the frequent lack of a quorum insisted they would have a fine weapon to keep recalcitrants "on the job."
Eleven of the 115 members and United States Senators. Then of the 115 members are 25 or under, 47 are 40 or under and the other 68 are between 40 and 45.
Charleston, W. Va., August 10.—In the state wide primary held last Tuesday, three. Colored man were nominated on the Republican ticket in as many counties; for member of House of Delegates, the lower branch of the legislature. The nominees were: J. V. Coleman, Kimberly, Fayette County; Harry J. Capehart, Keystone, McDowell County; and T. G. Nitter, Charleston, Kanawha County.
Legislative candidates in fact, members of that branch of the state government, are not novelties in West Virginia, few terms having passed in the county years without Race rebel senation. But at no time before, have there been any nomination nor has Kanawha County before given a Colored man a nomination, though there were two previous attempts. The honor of breaking through the barriers came to P. G. Nitter, an attorney at law, former grand exalted ruler of the Eka, now Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and secretary and treasurer of the bank recently organised here by Colored citizens.
Of the six nominated from among 14 candidates, Nutter was third. Mr. Capehart is also an attorney, and coming as does from a ruckriddled Republican county, is most certain of election. The other nominee, Mr. Coleman, is a laboring man, having around coal mills all of his life. He was around the end of the four winners among six canidates. The Colored population in none of these counties is one sixth of the whole, that of Kanawha being only about one feath.
Among the drafted boys that left the city. Last Sunday, August 5 for Camp Dodge, was Mr. Samuel Willis, the son of Mr. Mary Willis and the brother of Mr. Luther. McBride Mr. Willis was drafted in Inion, O. For the first time, Mr. St. John visiting his mother, before going to the camp.

- DEMOCRACY
A Democracy is Founded Upon. Equal
Rights, Equal Duties and Equal Respon-
sibilities For All Citizens.
¢ er COMMENCEMENT -
With the ending of the Primaries, August 6, the real ‘struggle
fof political supremacy began. The Primary is a kind of friendly
rivalry between men of the same party. But, the election in
vember will be the test for supremacy between the two great
Htieal parties of this nation: * 5
The Republican Party of this city has_ selected strong men on
their ticket, tb be elected in November. This will in itself help a
great deal in assuriny their election. ey
St. Louis normally is Republican, but there have been many
changes in men and measures since the war began. A careful sur-
vey of conditions indicate that this is not the time for over confi-
dence on the part of the party.leaders, for they owe it to-évery
man on the Republican Ticket to exert every effort to make sun
that each of them is elected this Fall. =
‘The schemers: of the democratic party of this city are already
beginning to show themselvés, and those who can réad the signs
of the times ean see that tRey are almost desperate to win. So.
the big commencement is on. It is up to the leaders of the Repub-
lican Party to aet wisely, thus, assuring every candidate on the
ticket a safe majority at the November election.”

- There are many akencies at work, doing their bit ty aatriet:
ie-way, to help win the swan but only a few are relied ‘upon*to do
the bulk of the work that, is to bedone. The Young Women's
Christian Association is one of-those organizations that is counted
upon at all times to do real and effective work. In St. Louis, the
Wheatley Branch stands most prominent in war activities, socjfl
upliff and community, service. It is one of-the -movemient: at
may be‘justly called the “home-fire” that must be kept burning
as a support to the morals of the community. . The tangible work
they are doing contributes largely to the morale of the men and
boys now in the camps ef this country and over-seas.
The men must encoiirage these faithful women by Supporting
their organization. It is the patriotic duty of all who have made
plédges for the fostering of the work to pay them. Pay them now!
thatthe good work may continue with the highest degree of
efficieeny. The “home'fires” must’be kept burning that the great-
est good may bedone at the front. Do your indispensable duty

GOOD VAUDEVILLE BILL AT
WALBROOK WASHINGTON
There is plenty of place to the vampire ville hill at the House Washington Theatre to work. Wattie and Ringgold one of the feature acts. Miss Ringgold is a la vorite here because of her what or centigrad. Mr Wattie usually comes and they serve the audience here through the net. These principal sons compete. The result. To loop Mr Mar to jump down the Ringgold and When On, Jock Sparks Into Princess for Wattie and Wattie. Wattie also has a show which shows her beauty. Mr Wattie gets the hard to lose audience at a bound seat. That is all of all drawing.
Williams next Terry is to make a park dancing from one side to the other. They are with good cheer and smiles. Their dancing can start at the gate or at an outside reception, which will allow them to dance by the door. Their song numbers are A Kelly's, Prayer of the Lord, and Don't Believe In Talking To Nothing! The entire art goes well.
Arthritis is a common guest and singer, daring yet well with a physical repetition of his favorite performance here. He institutes them here. Parewell! There is great His institutions work in its own way in good character work. The art is considerable class.
Straight and Zock have a singing and dancing outfit that does fiery well for an opening. It has originality, but has enough comedy to carry it over with credit.
NEXT WEEK
Mabel Gortt, singing conductor, Baster and Willie Porte, singers and dancers, and the Cuban Athletes, consist of Gaines and Gaines, Wells and Wells, will compose the show at the Booker Washington Theatre next week. The personnel of this bill is high class and a rare vancouver show should be the result. "Henrys Up," a new Pathe serial will start on Tuesday night the goth.
"HANDS UP"
Cyclonic Western Serial Starts At The Booker Washington Theatre This Tuesday, Aug. 20.
Ruth Roland an "Hands Up," a choreonic western serial, packer) full of daring adventures and heart-felt romance, will be seen at the Booker Washington Theatre every Tuesday, beginning next week, August 20.
Miss. Roland for four, or five years has been a true "headliners." In "Hands Up" she has been given a starring vehicle, which it has her charming personality like a globe. She made her first hit five years ago in daredevil Western pictures. "Hands Up" is a Western serial—the first to be put out by Pathe with such an atmosphere. It is cyclonic in its swift moving qualities, in its big, crashing climaxes. It is jammed, paled of thrilling deeds, its feats of horsemanship, its hardbreathless escapes. Its plot is novel, dealing as it does with a strange tribe of Southwestern Indians—descendants of the ancient Incas, and a beautiful girl whom they believe to be a princess of their tribe. Miss Roland plays the part of the princess, and their efforts to capture her and make her a living sapphire, and the gaudant aid furnished her by a handsome cow puncher and his friends, form the theme of the story. Nor should the Phantom Rider be forgotten. He is a unique and knightly figure. Time and again he interferes in behalf of the heroine, but his identity remains a mystery.
The locale of "Hands Up" is California and New Mexico, the country of high and rugged mountains, of arid plains, of verdant valleys, where Nature alternately smiles and frowns.
The first episode "The Sun Bride," is in 3 reels. It is full of thrills, right from the jump. Start in with it at the Booker Washington next Tuesday. August 20.
Sam Langford, the prizefighter, passed through St. Louis Thursday en route from Chicago to California.
