414 DRAFTED ST. LOUIS COLORED MEN LEAVE NEXT WEEK NEW REGISTRATION WILL FURNISH 3847 FOR THE ARMY The People's Paper The Trade Maker VOL. VII. NO. 23 414 DRAFT NEW I GENTRY DEFENDS AMER. WOODMEN St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 18, 1918. Mr. James T. Bush, Clerk Camp 10, American Woodmen, City. Esteemed Neighbor: Because the article appearing in the last week's issue of the St. Louis Argus relative to the suit brought against the Supreme Camp of the American Woodmen by Mr. J. E. Mitchell, was so misleading and the fact that my name was used in connection therewith, I feel that as ex-commander of Camp number 10, I owe it to the order and my host of friends who through my influence have joined the order, to correct the impression conveyed by the article in so far as I can. Hence, this letter. Mr. Mitchell in his desperate desire to deceive and prejudice the public has exaggerated and misstated facts. Any one would glean from the article that I have been deceived by order and would not accept the position of Commander on this account. I emphatically deny that I have said anything to Mr. Mitchell or any one else from which they could arrive at any such conclusion. I was in conversation with Mr. Mitchell a few days before the article appeared in the Argus and told that I declined to accept the position of Commander for the second term but no intimation was made that I did so because I had lost faith in the order or was otherwise dissatisfied. I an utterly surprised that Mr. Mitchell would use my name in his selfish desire to prejudice the public against an organization which he knows that I regard as the greatest Negro concern on earth. I was one of the first citizens of St Louis to unite with the American Woodmen. This, however, was after an investigation by which I convinced myself of the soundness of the order and the business-like methods by which its affairs are conducted. To illustrate how well I think of the order, I am now using all of my spare time in securing members in the 1000 member ship drive that is now being conducted by my camp. As I am desirous that you make this letter public I will give the facts in Mr. Mitchell's case. They are these Shortly after Mr. Mitchell became a member of the order and during the time that I was Commander he was injured by being struck by an automobile. He presented his claim and the same was properly paid. Yet as one of the bases for his suit—he alleged that he was not paid. Again he claims benefits for sickness which occurred about the middle of February. He had paid no dues for February at the time he was taken sick and has not paid or offered to pay any since. So what under the heavens could he expect? Mr. Mitchell would also convey the ider that the case is settled. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Already the case has been appealed and will be tried in the Circuit court and will be carried to the Supreme court i necessary to settle for all time whether Mr. Mitchell or the Supreme Camp is right. It will then be time to announce to the public who is right and talk about a constable being placed so charge, etc. AMERICAN WOGDMEN PAYS A DEATH CLAIM IN RECORD James H. Jones died Thursday night, Sept. 12 and the money to pay his claim was received Saturday, Sept. 14th. It is custom of the American Woodmen to pay their claims at the funeral and this would have been done in this case had the funeral been held on any other day than Sunday. The beneficiary was paid Monday morning. The usual delay caused in furnishing evidence of death is done away with. Each policy issued, by the company has a receipt attached and it is only necessary for the beneficiary to sign this receipt and surrender the policy. There is no, red tape or technical clause in our policies. You pay your dues and we pay you when anything happens. Soul. Stirring Meeting. Breaks Out Voluntarily The Olivette Baptist Chapel 4200 Finney Ave., is the abiding place of the Holy Spirit. Sinners are being converted, backsliders reclaimed and Christians from the Southland have found a church home and the chapel is figuratively in fire every evening. A house to house canvase is being made on West Belle, Fairfax, Finney and Cook Ave., by a special committee from the above mentioned church. Prayer meetings are being held every evening at 6 P. M. just when persons are coming home from work. Everyone is asked to stop in for a prayer. This work is in the hands of a special committee and although the doors are open for one hour, no one is expected unless they can stay the whole time. Bible institutes and preaching services are conducted by the pastor. Old time. National Baptist Jubilee songs grip the soul and the sparkling, bristling truth of the gospel make it impossible for sinners to hold out. Five o'clock prayer services will be held Sunday morning and an overflowing hours. The church is all the church is known and wishes to come to us to attend the Olivette Chapel. The St. Louis Argus NEW HOSPITAL FOR NEGROES The Centenary hospital, at Garrison and Lawton Aven, is to be turned over to the city to be used for Colored people in the near future, according to a statement given out by Director of Public Welfare, Mr. John Schmoll. It is understood that a Negro physician is to have charge of this institution together with visiting staff, internes and nurses. This will be the finest hospital operated by Colored people in the country. According to present plans, possession will be had in less than ninety days, and all of the Negro patients at the present City Hospital will be transferred to the new location. REGISTRATION The registration of voters of St. Louis Thursday, was quite a success. Organisation work played an important part. The registration committee Mr. Gus Frey and Mr. Edw. Forstall worked hard to bring about the desired results. Messara J. M. Well, W. H. Banks and Jeff Covington aly assisted the committee, working night and day untiring in their efforts, which have won the commendation of all those around them. MORE SUITS AGAINST AMERICAN WOODMEN Following the published statement in the St. Louis Argus last week of the judgment won against the American Wooden by J. E. Mitchell, other schemes of the officers have been brought to light. Other members are threatening to bring suit on account of debts alleged to be due them by the order. They give as their reason, they fear the American Wooden on account of loss of members and judgments in the courts against the order, will force them to quit the State. So it seems that everybody that the order owen, is going to bring a suit. It is expected that two more suits will be filed against the order this week. a full account of which will be published in the St. Louis Argus next week. Deputies and Members Quit It has just been learned that one of the best deputies of the order in the city has quit, charging Jan. T. Bush and C. M. White with "bad faith." They say that Mr. Bush wants to be the "Big Man" of the order in St. Louis and in trying to make himself good with Mr. White, is driving the members from the order. Many members of the order have quit because of lack of confidence. It is believed that Mr. Bush sent "distress call" to Denver when Mr. Jones died last week, as they claim the money for his insurance was here before Mr. Jones was buried. Of course, that will not save the order. CONSEGREATION OF BISHOP AT ALL SAINTS CHURCH On Sunday Sept. 29th, at 10:30 A.M. the Rev. E. Thomas Demby, D. D., will be consecrated Bishop Suffragan of Arkansas, in All Saints Church, Garrison Ave. and Locust St. This service marks the beginning of a new era in the Episcopal Church. It is the first time that that church has admitted Negroes to the Episcopate in this country. In its entire history the Episcopal Church has only had two Negro Bishops—one was consecrated in 1885 for Liberia, and the other in 1874 for Haiti. Both are now dead and Bishop Demby will be the first of a line of American Negro Bishops in charge of work among American Negroes. The congregation of All, Saints is planning to accommodate at least a thousand people at this service, and it is suggested, that those who desire to witness this historic event should ar range to be at the church early. The doors will be open at 10 a.m. No card are to be issued. Admission is free to the public. In order that all of the people of St Louis may have an opportunity to both see and hear the new bishop, the rector has arranged to hold a monster missionary mass meeting at 5 p.m. on the 29th. At this service prominent speakers from various parts of the country will be heard, as well as Bishop Dembry. The ministers of the city are invited to be present with their congregations. The ministers will have scaes in the chancel and a special offering will be taken for the church's work in Arkansas. OFFICER LOGAN AT EXCELSIOR SPRINGS Special Officer Adderson Logan is at Excelsior Springs. Mo., where he expects to spend about three weeks recuperating his health.

Cols, President; C. G. Williams, Secretary. Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1918 ARGUS NEWSBOY IN NEW DRAFT TO CUSTOMERS OF THE DIAMOND JOURNAL CO. I wish by this means to extend my appreciation for the loyal help that I have received from my customers. I wish especially to thank you for the business given me during the month of May, when I sold over a wagon load of papers (10,000 copies). May, 1917, I sold only 2,000 copies. This increase of 500 per cent shows that I am receiving more business from my St. Louis and out of town customers each year. Wishing you health and happiness, I am. Your humble servant, Jno. Diamond Wilkerson (Pres. Diamond Journal Co.) Young Wilkerson has registered for the draft in the eighteen year old class on Sept. 12 and, no doubts will be called into service for Uncle Sam in a very short time.

STREET CAR CONDUCTORS ARE GETTING CARELESS There has been considerable complaint lately about the carlessness of street car conductors in starting up cars without closing the doors and before passengers can get aboard. A near serious accident occurred Monday when conductor No. 2117 on car No. 1028, Jefferson Avenue line, signalled the motorman to start, at the corner of Jefferson and Olive, throwing a Coldred woman off on her back.

Watch next week's issue. HOME GUARD PLANS DROPPED The campaign to raise funds to equip a company of Colored Home Guard was called off, according to a statement given out Tuesday by Treasurer Charles A. Mills of the Boosters. Mills stated to an Argus representative that the club had been advised by men in high authority that owing to the new registration it may be found impossible to select enough qualified men and keep the company in full strength. Most of the men recruited would be in the draft age and as their military status might change at any time the cost of equipment would be a loss. It was decided, therefore, not to take the public's money, for the purpose until the drafting had ceased. The campaign started out with a big boom. It is stated that more than $400 was subscribed in cash the first two days and this will be returned to the donors at once. FIVE HOUSTON RIOT SOLDIERS HANGED FIVE HOUSTON RIOT SOLDIERS HANGED San.

On Box Back Coats" Between Pine and Lawton right hand of God," was the text, used by Doctor Johnson last Sunday morning. The stoning of St. Stephen and his dying wards to forgive his enemies was the pastor's subject. The pastor endeavored to show how men are hounded on both sides whenever they take a stand for the right. St. Stephen had been chosen to do a particular work and he discharged his duties, not fearing what the results would be. While the stones were being hurled from above, he cried: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." The pastor laid stress upon how we should endure hardness as good soldiers and it is needless to say that those who heard him were strengthened for future ordeals through which they must pass.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY A Committee of men who, interested in Justice and Fair Play for all the people in America alike, have presented to Secretary of War Baker a printed report which shows that only about 20 per cent of the Negro draftees are trained to fight, while the remainder are put in non-combatant divisions.

UNDEMOCRATIC We are in sympathy with that portion of the good citizens of Chicago who maintain that Separate Schools for the Negro children is a step backward in civilization. According to the present day declarations as given out by President Wilson, and other leaders of the Country, "We are a United People," but the practice in many parts of the United States, is to teach the White Child-from the beginning that every other Race is fit to attend their schools, and attend their churches and theatres except the Negro. The acts of those who say, "It is to the best interest of both races," is like the cesspool which breeds race caste, race hatred, segregation, and discrimination.

We solicit your business. "About a week ago I wrote you that I was going to the front, but before I got started the great offensive was on and they telegraphed me not to come. So, Ram here at St. Nagaime with Mr. Hunter, just the place I wanted most to be since I didn't get to go to the front. "I am in a Y. M. C. A. but with Rev. D. Leny Ferguson, an Episcopal minister from Louisville, Ky. He used to be in school with me at Wilerforce. Place Located On Coast" "This place is located on the coast and we have a very fine view of the sea. When I arrived here, I met one Rev. Mr. Robinson, with whom I stopped for a week in Joplin, Mo. A. Mr. Wright, whom I had met at A. and M. College, Tallahassee, Fla., and Mr. Stephenson, with whom I had correspondence about N. A. A. C. P. work, so it seemed like a family reunion; all are Y. M. C. A. secretaries. "Mrs. Hunton and I stop at the same house, so we are company for each other. Our Y. M. C. A."hut is built of boards and windows. They have them already to set up when they arrive. We have one large room with long tables, where the men sit to write letters. Another large room with benches, a platform and piano that is used for an assembly room. I shall have classes there for the men who can't read and write. "Our canteen is just a counter over which cakes, chocolate, tobacco, lead pencils, canned peaches, sardines, etc. are sold to the men. Most of the huts where women are have kitchens where they make cocoa, lemonade and sometime bake cookies to sell to the men. This is for the purpose of making them feel more at home. Our hut has none, however, and my work will be simply to talk with the men, hear their tales of woe, help them write letters, teach them and do what I can to create an atmosphere of home. Not At Same Mut "Mrs. Hunton and I are not at the same but. I am in town, and she is just at the edge of town. Her's is larger than ours, and has a large staff and is soon to be collared. The men secretaries have their quarters at the hut, just a small room with a oot, table, looking glass, and washpan. There are electric lights and stoves in each room. It rains here a great deal as I suppose it does everywhere now. All of us feel very sorry about the death of Quentin Roosevelt.

We thank especially Dr. Shaw for the words of consolation and Mr. W. C. Gordon for his kindness and efficient services (Signed) Mrs. C. Grafton, mother; Mr. and Mrs. Brown, brother and sister; M. Fleming, brother. IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of our dear daughter, Lucille McCalley, who departed this life September 16, 1917: Silently the shades of evening Gather 'round our lonely door, While alone we sit thinking Of that smiling face, we see no more. But some day we hope to meet her and this aching void to fill. But now all we have is memory and the grave on the distant hill. Sadly missed by parents, sisters, brothers and a host of relatives and friends. IS MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of my husband, Louis W. Fields, who fell asleep in Jesus, September 20, 1917. Within the pearly gates beyond the golden shores. The narrow river crossed for evermore. Owl happy are they who gain the other sidle. And, awaken in His likeness, "Satis- fied." The last tear wiped away by God's own hand. Upon the threshold of that blissful land. Whose songs "No ear hath heard nor Ere long we too, those glories shall be hold; We too shall tread the streets of shining gold; All sorrow, pain, disappointment past, When we shall meet to part no more at last! Sadly missed by his widow, Mrs. Della Fielda. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear husband and father, Charles Goldstein, who departed this life, Sept. 23, 1916. The depths of our sorrow we cannot delish at the loss of our dear husband and father we loved so well. While he lies in peaceful sleep, his memory we shall always keep. Day by day we sadly miss him, friends may think the wound is healed, but they little know the grief that's within our hearts concealed. He shall never be forgotten, never from our memory fade. Our loving hearts will always linger around the grave where he is laid. Sadly missed by wife, Mrs. Ellen Goldstein; daughter, Mme. Fields Voting and Mrs. Bertha Marion; Macee, Johannie and Eugene Goldstein, sons. ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. C. P. Robinson wishes to announce to the public that he has moved his residence and office to S.

Notary Public I want to say that the Steger Line of Pianos have been sold to over 250 people of this city by me, and eighty-five per cent of my business is in high class players, and mostly on good terms. I owe the steadily increasing business to progressive and educational advertisers. Do you really believe that a dealer can continually sell real, and I mean real $750.00 Player Pianos for $450.00 and continue in business? A Player Piano that sells for $750.00 should cost the dealer considerably more than $400.00 or it is not a $750.00 Player Piano. Our line of Player Pianos are sold to it, everybody, and they are sure to have more terms, than any other dealer in the city. If you side track me, you pff the penalty. Call and see the line up for Full and Holidays. Call Boment 1792 W. RELATIVES WANTED Wanted to know the whereabouts of J. J. Higgs, by his son. Last heard of was conducting Garnett Watch Co., 5 S.

FRATERNAL NEGBO MASONRY Last May "The, United Supreme Council of Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the Thirty-third, and Last Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Preemasonary for the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States of America, Colored, Whose Grand Orient is at Philadelphia," met in Cincinnati, Ohio, in thirty-seventh annual session. The grand Commander is James Francis Rickards, of Detroit, Mich. Some of the best leaders of the race were present. One of them writes of the meeting: "The best minds of the negro race today are absorbed in the problems how best to dissipate from the universal mind of our brother in the white, the feeling of intolerance and bins that sometimes prevents him from arriving at a just estimate of the character and good intentions of the negro in America." This writer makes it plain that the negro Mason has like aspirations with the white, as great a love of God, as high an estimate of honor and is, as great a lover of truth. The war, he says, compels a readjustment of the world mind to new conditions caused by it. German Kultur, opposed to true Culture should make it clear from its receipt exhibitions, that we can no longer continue to concern ourselves with petty questions of creed or color if we are to successfully oppose it. White Masons seem to have wanted much time and force in estimating "who was the first in Masonry" and whether or not Negro Masonry, which is an undisputed fact, is "legitimate." "Masonry is a force for the betterment of mankind. Then why circumcribe its beneficent trend by denying it to any man, provided that he subscribes to its true tenets." The corresponding woman's organization to this body is known as "The Golden Circle," bearing much the same relation to the men's house as the Eastern Star to the Blue Lodge. The Grand Loyal Lady Ruler is E. Hortense Tolliver, of New York City. The next meeting is scheduled for New Haven, Conn., second Monday in May, 1919. Data for above supplied by H. R. Evans, of Cincinnati, and R. W. J. Jeffrey, of Detroit, Mich. PARMINGTON, MO By Dayse F. Baker Mr. George Tullock and a party of friends from Ironton visited here Sunday.

FRATERNITIES GETTING TO PATRIOTIC LEVEL One of the most astonishing things in the South is the participation in the same parades, of negro women, in the same ranks with the bluest blooded aristocrats among the white ladies. They are all equally anxious to serve. Among the men, whites and black are doing equally good work in the four-minute campaigns. Right living will produce right thinking. If a man deceives you once, shame on him; if he deceives you twice, shame on you. The Knight's Templar (white) have been thanked by President Wilson for the gift of twelve motor ambulances costing $20,500 contributed by the 12 commanderies in Pennsylvania's first division. The following article recently appeared in "Light," a leading publication of Louisville, Ky., that is the official organ of the white Masons of the South: "Why I am a Knight of Pythias," is a pamphlet that is being placed in the hands of worthy young men, during the campaign for membership that is now on by the Pythians of the city under the supervision of the tireless worker Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd. The pamphlet is neatly printed and contains many interesting paragraphs. Get one of them while they last. AN OPPOBTUNITY For you to purchase a complete Knights, Templar outfit—including trunks, etc., at sacrificing prices. Only three more left. So, see me at once. K. C. Fisher, The Argus Building. When it was announced that Past Grand High Priest Broomfield had consented to give a lecture on the capitular degrees, the rumor immediately circulated among the Companions, and their attention is directed with great anticipation to Sunday, October 27, when the genius in R. A. M. will cause their minds' eye to again review the "wilderness." It is said by some Sir Knights, that Onward Commandery has already begun its tactic and drill practice for the specific purpose of getting first honors in the competitive drill, Thanksgiving night.

Read the casualty lists in the papers and ask yourself: "How long shall I permit this to go on?" There is only one answer: "I will do my utmost to help equip and put into the field an American army that will make short work of the hun and put a stop to the shedding of American blood." Be a Volunteer On these days everyone will be given an opportunity to step up and buy bonds without being solicited to do so. Places will be designated where volunteer subscriptions will be received. These places will be announced in the papers and by signs. Your card will be on file there. Cards of those who do not volunteer will be used for active solicitation, which will begin Monday, September 30th. No one will be overlooked. Do not wait for some one to come after your subscription. Show that you, too, can volunteer for your Country's service, just as our boys "over there" did. Figure out now the very maximum you can subscribe. Be ready when Volunteer Days come. This is no time for half-way measures. Half-way measures won't push our The hope of the world lies in the sons of America. They are "Over there" now—a million and a half strong; they are going over daily—a million and a half more of them. Another million and a half are waiting for the call that soon will come. Those who have been under fire have demonstrated superbly the qualities that make fighters—they have shown that the barbarous hun is no match for them. Many an American son has gone down has made the supreme sacrifice for his Country and liberty. Before the german horde is driven back within its own borders, many more American sons will go down. How many, depends upon us at home. A small American army, no matter how brave, will inevitably suffer severe casualties. A gigantic American army will overwhelm the hun and bring quick victory with the least loss of life. The lives of our sons are in our hands. The boys are ready, willing and eager. They must be trained and equipped. No time must be lost. It is up to us to provide the money necessary to make these boys invincible. We must do it and do it quickly. With our own sons already in the fight, every day's delay lays at our own doors the blood of brave American sons. self: "How long shall I permit this to go on?" most to help equip and put into the field and of the hun and put a stop to the shedding of Volunteer Will Be Volunteer Days boys across the Rhine. It is up to us to buy bonds with every uninvested dollar we own, plus every dollar we can save by careful, frugal living for six months to come. You don't have to pay all cash for your bonds. You can make your first payment from cash in the bank, and take care of the balance out of your daily, weekly or monthly savings. The forced saving you do now will mean a nice nest egg later, for the bonds you buy now and pay for as you go along, will prove a splendid investment that will pay you a good interest every six months. After the war, the bonds will be worth more than you paid for them. Don't hesitate to do your duty and do it quickly. "Don't let the SON go down." BY THE CGE CO.

He is maintaining his popularity with his kiddish comedy. He sings several songs which take well and has his own original originals. His tragic burlesque of a hungry man is a big spectre. Alen and Stokes form a new combination, but a good old boy. Mr. Allen is the well known staple of "minor choral" fame. Miss Stokes is now on the stage, but is doing well; being grateful, good-looking, and has a sweet soprano voice. Allen and his violin are usual, used in their performances, stunks from the 1980s. The song "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry." The delly Roll Blues, and "Tisha-binging Blues" are all big hits. The act pleases well. The Ragtime Trio closes the bill. They open with a humorous musical piece entitled "Just How Much I'm Liking You." *Amarie* Tribble, as a female impersonator, has a comic part that is full of *ben* *Jayna* Martin formally with *Smart Set*; *sings* "Everybody's Man is My Man Too," and immediately wins the fictional the audience. Sam Gary gets the hand when he appears as badger uniform and sings in a melodious class, "When the Bell in the Lighthouse Bings." *Tribble pulls off* "My Sweetie" and makes a hit. The tribbles close with "Nobody Knows What the Thing Lies Love Will Do." The sequel is a wrap between the two female characters and the house goes wild when Tribble's wig is torn off. The entire act is very good being above the average. NEXT WEEK Empr. star notes are booked for the Booker Washington next week: They will include Dave and Lillian, an eccentric aerobatic girl; Benton Over street, the composer; and, Latelle Harris, the singer; Franklin's Dogs, and Kastus Anderson, a comedian. This bill should be well up to the high standard of shows being presented at this theatre lately. Mr. Charles Turpin visited Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville and Cincinnati this week, in the interest of Ramblers for Doctor Bandy. OLYMPIA STARTS NEW POLICY NEXT WEEK The Olympics Theatre inaugurates its new feature policy next week. Special high class feature plays will be shown on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The admission price these days will be Adults 18 and children 3. On other days the price remains the same—£ cents to all. Next: Tuesday, Sept. 24, "The Kaiser, the heart of Berlin," will be shown, "The Kaiser, the beast of Berlin," in seven sets, and recently was completed in 'universal City, Cal., after six months in production. The picture shows the kaiser to be a war manne, drunk with, power, and possessing an insane desire to place the world under German rule. From well-known authorities and their writings personal characteristics of the German ruler and interesting, yet brutal, in incidents of his life, have been woven into an absorbing story which for the most part is laid in Belgium and Berlin. On Thursday, Sept. 26, beautiful Rita Johovitz in an Eight Apt. Special production, de laure, entitled, "Lost We Forgot." It is a mighty presentation of the causes that led America into the great war. It shows graphically the tinkering of the Lusitania. An exquisite romance gives a tender human pote to the great spectacle. ST. LOUIS. TO HAVE DOWN TOWN A NEGRO HIGH CLASS WALDE VILLE. THEATRE A big company has been formed, headed by Richard D. Barrett, and has taken over the Imperial Theatre at 10th and Pine Streets. It will operate this famous house, in which many of the greatest stars of the American stage have played, as a high class vaudeville theatre, devoted exclusively to the Negroes of St. Louis and vicinity, offering the best entertainment yet seen at popular prices. The show will consist of five big class vaudeville acts, super feature pictures, and an occasional traveling attraction such as In Old Kentucky. The Snatter Set, Richards and Pringle's Minstrels and numerous others. The Imperial is being thoroughly renovated and not in spice shape, and when it opens its doors it will have a competent and efficient crew of Colored attaches throughout. Mr. James H. Harris has been engaged as Musical Director, and this fact ensures that the orchestra will be very good. St. Louis has long been in need of a downtown high priced theatre for the entertainment of the Negro theatregoers and no doubt this will be a wel come announcement!
