CHARGE OF FRAUD IN REGISTRATION BLOWS UP The People's Paper The Trade Maker VOL. VII, NO. 19 CHARGE U.S. BUILDS "Y" FOR NEGRO WORKMEN AT NITRO. W. VA. Modern and Well-Equipped Building Under Direction of Negro Secretaries—Associate Secretary Reports Increased Morale and Efficiency as Result. No policy was ever better calculated to increase the efficiency and morale of the army at home, the workers, who must sustain the Army at the front, than that inaugurated by the Government with reference to the Negro workers in he powder plant at Nitro, West Virginia. At a cost of $15,000 a modern and well equipped Y. M. C. A. building has been erected for the Negro workmen. Y. is provided with billiard tables, bowling affords, shower baths, a soda countain, a library of 1,000 volumes and 30 current periodicals, a moving picture theater and auditorium. A gymnasium for indoor activities and a swimming pool are soon to be installed. The supervision of the building and the "Y" work is under the direction of Negro secretaries, most of whom are college men, two of them having studied at Chicago University. The audition of men of this type who have broad training and experience and who are capable of winning the confidence and support of both worker and employer, means that this splendid effort by the Government will bring the very best results. Morale and Efficiency Increased. An increase in morale and efficiency has been directly noted. When asked for an opinion about the Negro workers, an official at Nitro recently stated that the Negro employees are the most satisfied and appreciative workers in the plant. This man is a white Tennessee and one who claims much experience with Negro labor. He says he has carefully watched the activities of the laborers and that they "cannot be criticised." He sums up the experiment by saying: "This Government has provided very liberally for the Colored men at this place, and we believe that the Colored men have responded and will continue to respond to the treatment they receive here." Y. M. C. A. HAS NINETY COLORED SECRETARIES IN CAMPS. 28 OVERSEAS. New York, Oct. 30. - Announcement was made this week by the Personnel Division of the Young Men's Christian Association that there are ninety Colored secretaries in camps and twenty-eight overseas. The general impression prevails that by the first of the year the number of Colored Y. M. C. A. secretaries doing war work will exceed the century mark. This work is one of the reasons the Y. M. C. A. will hold a campaign for funds the week of November 1918. At that time the Y. M. C. A., with six other organizations, the Y. W. C. A. National Catholic War Council and Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Association and Salvation Army, will ask the people for $170,500,000 to carry on their work. Y. W. C. A. HAS NEARLY ONE HUN DRED COLORED WOMEN IN CAMPS. New York, Oct. 39.—War work among Colored women, under the direction of the Y. W. C. A., is growing in leaps and bounds. Just one year ago Miss Eva D. Bowles, executive secretary, was the only Colored worker in the field. Today there are 1,151 one hundred. The Y. W. C. A., has opened eight Colored Hostess Houses. Three more are to be opened by December 1, and the establishment of four additional has been authorized. The Hostess House is the one and only place in camp where a soldier is reminded of home, thanks to the kindly attention shown every boy in khaki by Y. W. C. A. workers. The female relatives and friends of soldiers have found the Hostess House the most ideal spot to meet, greet and eat when a visitor at camp. Camp Upton, L. I. was the first camp in which a Hostess House, was opened to the friends of the Colored enlisted men. Now there are seven others—Dix, Funston, Sherman, Gordon, Jackson, Dodge and Grant. Following is the staff under the War Work Council; Miss Eva D. Bowles, executive secretary; Miss Josephine V. Phinny, hostess house and field worker; Miss Mary E. Jackson, industrial worker; Mrs. Cordellia A. Winn, special worker; Miss Crystal Bind, girls worker; Mrs. Ethel J. Kindle, special office worker; Miss Mary B. Belcher, field worker, St. Louis, Ma.; Miss Adela F. Ruffin, field worker, Richmond, Va. Hopkins House Staff.

J. according to word received here last night. He was 82 years old. NEXT DRAFT IS UNCERTAIN There has been no change in the draft situation, so far as Negroes are concerned, since the last issue of The Argus. The only call for men so far has been for 95 from Missouri to go to Camp Funston, near the last of November. St. Louis' quota will only be 28 men. These will consist of men left from June 1 and aug. 24 registrations. Although no call has been made to rthe entrainment of Class 1 Colored men from the September 12 registration, the order from General Crowder may come at any time. It is expected that the first draft will be heavy and ward boards are rushing the classifications to be ready. Several of the wards have begun sending questionnaries to the older registration is to be mailed each day until the list is finished. THE OPENING OF NEW PORO COLLEGE To Be Thanksgiving Week—New Building at St. Ferdinand and Pendleton Nearly Com- The formal opening of the New Foro Collage at Poro, corner St. Ferdinand and Pendleton will take place Thanksgiving week. Elaborate preparations are being made as the finishing touches are being added by skilled and artistic workmen. Detail account will be given in next week's issue of The St. Louis Argus. Ancell To Head Local Conservation Mr. James B. Copleman, Negro Director of the Federal Food Administration, arrived in St. Louis on Oct. 25th in the interest of the Conservation work in this city. The influenza can kept Mr. Coleman from holding any public meetings, but after a number of conferences, he perfected the organization of the work here, which will be under the direct supervision of the City Food Administrator. St. Louis will be divided in 12 districts with a deputy in each district. W. T. Ancell, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal' of the Knights of Pythias, with office at 3137 Pine Street, will be in charge of the work, as Deputy Food Administrator. G. W. KING APPPOINTED TO POSITION IN POST OFFICE. Mr. G. W. King, 3176 Gustine Avenue, is among the few who have received appointments from Postmaster Colton M. Belph for positions in the post office.

Kings is prominent in religious circles and one of the secretaries of Central Baptist Church. RACE RIOT FOLLOWS SLAPPING OF COLORED WOMAN BY WHITE STEWARD. Negroes and Foreigners in Battle at Du Pont Munition Factory in Petersburg, Va. - Soldiers from Camp Lee were rushed to Hopewell late today to quell a riot between Negroes and foreigners at the plant of the Du Pont de Nemours munition factory. First reports said that two persons had been killed in the rioting. Several hours after the first reports were received the soldiers and a company of Home Guards were patrolling the streets of Hopewell, but biring still was continuing in the Negro quarter. It was estimated that more than 1,000 shots were fired during the rioting, but only meagre reports as to the trouble had been received late tonight. The riot started when a white steward in a restaurant slapped a Negro woman employed there as a cook. EXECUTIVE OF NATIONAL RELIEF CO. PRAISES, ST. LOUIS Mr. W. R. 'Sieher, special agent and examiner for the National Relief Assurance Co. of Philadelphia, Pa. with headquarters in Indianapolis, Ind. made a thorough inspection of the local office in charge of E. Hawkins and Mrs. W. G. Alstork and closely stamped his approval on the work that is being done and paid a very high tribute to the, whole office force. He expressed his appreciation for the patronage given the company here by both white and Colored, and will extend the field of operation the first or the year. He was loud in his praise of the way Mrs. Alstork keeps her books. After taking dinner at the Douglas Hotel with the General Agent, E. Hawkins, he left Philadelphia, where he will make a most pleasing report of the St. Louis office. REQUEST OF $15,600 FOR COLORED ORPHANS. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 31.—The Colored Orphan Home! Hume has received a notice of a bequest of $15,000 by the will of C. k. Painter. weakly and philanthropic citizen of Pittsburg, Pa., who died last September: ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY NOVEMBER 1, 1918 OFFICIAL INFORMATION FOR QUALIFIED VOTERS Vote The Straight Republican Ticket The following information on elections, qualified voters and method of voting is valuable to every citizen and should be carefully read. It is the duty of every citizen to exercise the right of self-government by going to the polls and casting his ballot for the men he wishes to represent him in the Congress of the United States, on the Judicial Bench and in the various elective offices. How to Vote on Election Day How to Vote on Election Day On November 5th go to your voting place, give your name and address to a judge, after which he will hand you five different ballots, Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Independent, etc., take these into the booth and pick the Republican ballot and carefully hand back to the judge and see that it is placed in the ballot box. Voters to Show Draft Cards The Board of Elective Commissioners issued an order to judges and clerks of election to require all voters of draft ages at the Nov. 5 election to show their draft registration cards. The purpose is to aid the Government in rounding up draft evaders. The same thing was done at the recent general registration and a number of slackers were caught. PROTECTION FOR QUALIFIED MOTORS To the Negro Voters of St. Louis: My Dear Dearest College. On Tuesday-November 5,1918, there will be held in the city of St. Louis an election in which you, if qualified, should take part and cast your ballot. We call your attention to the following qualifications which every voter must possess, namely: RACE WOMAN WIN SUIT FOR ALLEGED JIM-CROWISM. Washington, D. C., Oct. 31.—Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, president of the Hair Vim Chemical Co., has won another suit against the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway Company, for alleged Jim-crowing, etc. The damages were nominal, but the big principle involved of breaking down an abominable system has received a big boost by the pluck, push and persistence of this spirited woman of the race. "Jim-crow" cars for interstate passengers, at least, are unconstitutional and should be abolished. The way to do away with them is for every Colored man and woman to have the courage of Dr. Coleman and carry to the courts every instance of unlawful discrimination, until the highest tribunal in the land wipes from the statutes every vestige of this unholy and un-American piece of legislation. PROF. TIBBS. FAMOUS PIANIST. BELOMES A. M. Washington, D. C. Oct. 11 — Prof. Roy W. Tibbs of the Howard University Conservatory of Music, and Miss A. Lillian Evans, daughter of the late Dr. W. Bruce Evans, were united in marriage recently. Mrs. Tibbs is one of the best kindergarten directors in the public school system of the capital and is a singer who has won national prominence through her brilliant songs recitals here and in other metropolitan centers. Prof. and Mrs. Tibbs are making their home at 1910 Vermont Ave. N. W. A REMARKABLE RISE OF AN IN DISTRICTIOUS COLORED MAN Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 20—The Atlanta Constitution. Georgia's biggest newspaper, devoted a whole page to an article which informed. he readers that this city boasts the finest barber shop in the world. This important information would be of little interest to the Colored people of the United States; were it not for the fact that the owner and manager of this shop, Mr. A. F. Herndon, is a very prominent member of our race. Besides producing a nice big photo of Mr. Henderson, the edition presented the history, of such a grand place, which traces, back as far as a one-chair shop with the "boss" himself in the box. He was always at his post and greeted everyone with a smile. From one chair, he developed to four and it was then he adopted the motto: "Service First." The business increased rapidly and it became necessary to make it an exchair shop. It was then considered the pride of the city and every one was delighted to frequent such a place. Mr. Herndon catered to the trade and made a big success of the business. He now operates twenty-four chairs and the shop is termed: "The Palace Barber Shop of the World." The shop has all Colored barbers, cashier girls, boothblacks and attendants. All barbers are dressed in white, white, white shoes and cream bow ties. Fresh suits every day is the rule. Mr. Hermond is very proud of his employee and at his mansion every New Year, he entertains with a big ball especially for them. His home is unquestionably the finest in the South that is owned by a black man, and is considered a close rival of Modam Walker's palace in New York City.

HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON FORMER RECORDER OF DEEDS STRIKES POLITICAL KEYNOTE No Democrat Can Make An Effective Argument in Favor of Negro Voting the Democratic Ticket, Says Noted Lawyer. New York, Oct. 21. — In Harlem where there is a fremendous. Colored vote there is a three cornered race for Congressman, W. P. Miller, a Colored Socialist and the Republican and Democratic nominees both white. It is said Miller is being run by Tammady Hall as a Socialist in order to weaken the Republican vote. Henry Lincoln Johnson, hosted race lawyer, National Odd Yellow and former Recorder of Deeds in Washington is here.

For your information, the Fourth District is bounded on the north by Natural Bridge Road, South by Frank Dr. Avenue, East by Mississippi River and on the West by Sarah Street. Speaking of the attack on Dr. Riley and the Republican City Committee, by one Louis Marches, Hon. John Schmoll, chairman of the Republican Central Committee, said: "We will support every man on the Republican ticket, he be black or white. All of them are American citizens. It is his duty to do so." Dr. Riley says: "With true Americans my color makes me difference." supporting Democrats for Washington He says: "No Democrat can make an effective argument in favor of a Neko voting the Democratic ticket. A Democrat does not come to the Negro voters with clean haifs and every Neko knows it. The Republican Negroes ought to be especially careful with their votes for Congressmen. One hundred and twenty six Democratic Congressmen are elected from districts reaching from Virginia to Oklahoma, and dying south of a line drawn between those points. Every such representative when he reaches Congress is an echo of the voice of Tom Heflin and the Democratic caucus really delivers his vote. "It Donovan is elected Congressman he will do as the Southern Democratic colleague direct, and he knows it. The only hope of a betterment in the conditions of the franchise in the Southern states lies in the election of a 'Republican House.'" DYER FOR CONGRESS Is One Of The Most Popular Candidates In The Country. Congressman S. C. Dyer, candidate for reelection from the Twelfth District, is one of the most popular members of the House of Representatives. It has been often stated that Mr. Dyer is more appreciated outside of his "own Home Town," but it is so he can hardly fall short of being mobilized. His incessant work in the interest of all people, without reserve or restraint because of race, politics or religion, has won him the respect of everyone. The twelfth sailor Colored people of the United States have every reason to appreciate him. He has been their representative merely because he has been fair. That is all Colored Americans ask. He has been an exponent of justice equal rights and equal responsibilities for all citizens. As an example of this, note his heroic fight, to make bruching a Federal offense, his insistence that Congress hear the full report of the East St. Louis massacre. In fact, his ever ready willingness to champion the cause of the Negro, for right and justice. For these things he has the solid support of the Colored voters of his district and the lingering hope of outsiders that some day they may be able to reward him for his labors. The following is an excellent example of what St. Louisans think of Congress man Dyer. Heen, L. C. Dyer Is Our Best Friend and We Should Reveal Him. If there was ever a time when a late should take action to show his appreciation for one who has always forsely defended their cause at Washington regardless of spiteful or position that time will present itself to the Negroes of St. Louis on Tuesday November 11th, when all who have the opportunity should go to their respective voting places and cast a vote from J. C. Flyer, and send him back to Washington to assist President Wilson in winning a war that will make democracy safe, not only for America, but for all the world. Mr. Flyer is a brave, patriotic citizen, evident in every way, to fill the position of Congressman from the Twelfth District, which he has held for a number of years and for which he is inspiring for election. He is acquainted with all the affairs of the National Government and understands just what course of procedure to take that will bring the greatest result towards winning the war. Therefore we should and must孜孜不倦 We cannot afford to swap horses in the middle of a stream during this crisis. If we do the result may be fatal. We are satisfied with the manner in which President, Wilson has been conducting the war, and Mr. Dyer has always approved and supported the President in carrying out his program. Mr. Dyer is the father of the antitraching bill which is now sending, and his passion depends upon whether we send him back to Washington to represent the Twelfth Congressional District. If we fail to return him that he may defend this bill under a Democratic administration, it will not be worth the paper it is written on, and antitraching will be continued on a whole scale sale. Then those of us in St. Louis who failed to do our duty will inherit the scorn and disgust of all the Negroes in America for not being grateful enough to cast a vote for the race's best friend. Purd. H. Haynes. ST. LOUISANS MARRY IN CHICAGO Word has been received by some of his friends that, Mr. Ambrose Rounds was recently married to Mrs. Sallie Richards at Chicago. Te bride and groom are well known in St. Louis their former home. Mr. Rounds was considered a confirmed heiress. He was an active member of the F. M. T. A. and of Central Baptist Church.

Negroes Have Not Attempted To Vote Illegally. Plans of the Democrats to Win the city election and perhaps elect a Congressman in St. Louis, went glimmering this week when the charges of false registration, made against the Negro voters, blew up. The leaders in the scheme had never hoped to prove such wholesale frauds as the cliffside indicated, but it was believed that enough irregularities would be found to give them an excuse to put into getton a general intimidation on election day and thereby scare a majority of the Negro voters from the polls. Police Mess Up the Party POLICE MESS Up the Party "The police department was set busy canvassing the districts thickly populated by Colleged people and immediately "intested up" the party." After visiting the hops it was announced that there were 3379 "suspects." It was soon found that 2305 were in the army or out of the city, and 115 were dead. This only left 956 names to work on. Out of this number no actual cases of fraudulent registration, this been revealed. It was found that the "suspects" were either at he adresses given, had moved and been transferred to another address or were BUSH DENIES COMBINATION Fourth District Constable Refutes Charge That He Has Paired With Democratic Candidate—Requests All Voters to Support Turpin. TO THE VOTERS OF THE FOURTH DISTRICT Owing to the fact that a rumor has been spread throughout, the Fourth District that I have formed a combination with O'Donnell, Democratic candidate for O'Donnell, I wish to emphatically state that I have made no agreement with O'Donnell or any other candidate on the Democratic ticket. I further earnestly request all my friends and all good Republicans to support Charles H. Turpin for O'Donnell and vote the straight Republican ticket. Floyd E. Bush, Republican Candidate for O'Donnell. Fourth District. The St. Louis Argus has dominated six years in public approval and is a direct medium through which to reach the masses. WOEFLEY ASKS FOR SQUARE DEAL IN THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE DISTRICT, ST. LOUIS. I am for a square deal. I will vote for Homer G. Phillips, a Colorod man, and a Republican, although an inde- pendent candidate, for Justice of the Peace in the Fourth District of St. Louis, and I urge that all square, fair-minded Republicans cast their bai- t for him on Tuesday, May 5. I will vote for I will vote for the Justice of the Peace because he is the only lawyer who is a candidate for the place. I consider him, therefore, better qualified for the office than anyone of the other four candidates and for that reason alone he should be elected. Mr. Phillips is an attorney of wide experience with offices at 6335 Market street. His knowledge of the law will enable him as Justice of the Peace to render decisions with the same regard for the law and the same degree of fairness and equity that is found in the higher courts. This fact will satisfy his rights in his court. If he elected Justice of the Peace, that his decisions are according to law and will save time and expense in appeals to higher courts which many litigants now think necessary. Mr. Phillips as an attorney in the St. Louis segregation case prepared debates and submitted legal arguments proving the proposed ordinance unconstitutional and it. was mainly through his efforts that this vicious legislation was defeated.

LOUIS Johnson I will vote for Mr. Phillips for Justice of the Peace because the Colored people, the race to which he belongs, are entitled to a square deal, to one of the two Justices of the Peace in the fourth District. "The registered vote in this District shows more than three Colored to two white voters and I believe under these conditions a square deal demands that Mr. Phillips receive not only all of the Colored votes but also all of the Republican white votes. I will vote for Mr. Phillips, servant of the Peace because as a 100 per cent American of the Fifth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Wards, now in the trenches fighting for a world-wide democracy, in St. Louis as well as elsewhere, a debt of gratitude. The least, therefore, that I can do for them is to do what I know they would do for themselves in they were here on election day, and that is to vote for Mr. Phillips. The Colored soldiers in France by their deeds of daring and bravery have won the admiration of the world, because of deeds of the same character at San Juan, they received the applause of civilization; and in civil life Colored men have made good in all of the professions and industries when given a chance, when they have received a square deal. The Colored voters of the Fourth District, however, do not need to plead for a chance, do not need to appeal for a square deal on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 5. The ballot and the opportunity to place Mr. Phillips, an able representative of their race, in a position where he can work for their further advancement and political recognition in St. Louis, is in their own hands. If they go to the polls and exercise their rights by voting for Mr. Phillips they will compel a square deal. Mr. Phillips is an independent candidate, although he is a 100 per cent Republican. Machine methods and unfair treatment in the primary conspired to prevent his name from appearing on the regular Republican ticket and in order to secure his rights as a citizen and the political recognition to which the Colored voters in the Fourth District are entitled he is compelled to appeal to their direct and to all minded white Republican voters to make right on ELECTION DAY a wrong committed by the so-called "organization" on primary day. I am a 100 per cent Republican, and a 100 per cent American because I am a 100 per cent Republican, but I will scratch both of the two names printed as candidates for Justice of the Peace on the Republican ticket and write in only the name of Homer G. Phillips whose name will be printed on the independent ticket. White Republican leaders have made many pledges of political opportunities to the more than 15,000 Colored voters in St. Louis without the aid of whom the party in the city and State would be helpless. But these promises have been broken just as soon as these leaders, through the aid of the Colored voters, secured the political jobs they sought at salaries three times in excess of the sum many of them could earn at any other occupation. I believe, therefore, the time has arrived when the rank and file of the Republican party, Colored and white, men who are Republicans from principle and not for pie, should go to the ballot box and redeem at least one of the broken pledges of the City Hall "organization" by electing Homer G. Phillips Justice of the Peace in the Fourth District. Fourth District. I APPEAL FOR A SQUARE DEAL IN SPITE OF THE CITY HALL, MACHINE. THEODORE J. WOEFLEY.

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 all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It's a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes 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 entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a through cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fuzzy and imparts 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 drugstret 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.

(Continued from page 1) not on the books at all. The police bungle came in the manner of making thanvas. Men in the army or out of the city, at work or not, lists fraudulently; and men who have an ankle injury were murdered. Our counted to the victimates. All these, the police counted as frauds. Wherever they found a vacant house or new tenants in a house, they reported more frauds. In such places as the new Kennerly Avenue play ground, where many voters have moved because the houses were to be torn down, the police reported Negroes registered from vacant lots. At many places visited no one was at home when the police called and the registrant was listed as "not found." All these were counted frauds and the Democratic party was in high glee for a few hours, until the farce was exposed. Now the schemers hope that the uproar attending the canvass will serve to keep many Negro voters from the polls next Tuesday. Ordinarily there would be a psychological reason to believe this; but the voters are of a different trend of mind than in the past. This is the period of duty and the Negro intends to do his duty at the polls next Tuesday as he has done and is doing in war activities. For the benefit of the voters we give here a brief review of the record of each candidate on the Republican, city wide, ticket. Articles referring to district candidates will be found on other pages of this issue. JUDGE SELDEN P. SPENCER, candidate for United States Senator, was endorsed by many leading Colored citizens of St. Louis before the primaries, and won the nomination by a large majority. He is credited with being a consistent, firm friend of the Colored people. His fight against the segregation ordinances enacted by the city of St. Louis; his contributions of money, time and efforts for the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., all of which was given without compensation. Judge Spencer is an able lawyer and statesman, of high sterling character, and possesses the qualification and fitness to represent the State of Missouri in the Senate of the United States. He has been one of the most active and conspicuous characters in the war work here, being chairman on the Exemption Board. He was himself against his will, drafted by the Republicans of St. Louis into the race for the Senate. He did his part, won the nomination by a vote that clearly demonstrated his popularity throughout the State; now he deserves to be elected and should be rewarded on November 5. L. C. DXER, Congressman from the Twelfth District, candidate for reelection on the Republican ticket, is one of the few representatives who admirably hils 'the entire trust imposed upon him, by the people. He not only works incessantly and zealously in the interest of his constituents, but for all in his district, regardless of political affiliations, nationality or race. He is a glorious example of a 100 per cent American. In the eyes of twelve million Colored Americans, he is the greatest exponent of right and justice on the floor of Congress today. He is an honor to St. Louis, and the entire country calls upon us to send him back to Washington. His fight against lynchings, and his fearless opposition against all discriminations due to race prejudice, makes it essential that he remain at the helm so that democracy will mean all it implies, when the readjustment comes after the war is over. CLEVELAND A. NEWTON, candidate for Congressman from the Tenth District, was selected to take the place made vacant by the death of Congressman Meeker. Mr. Newton is 45 years old and a lawyer of high standing. He was elected a representative from Wright County to the Missouri Legislature and served two terms, after which he was assistant U. S. Attorney for the Western District of this State, and later as assistant Attorney General. Mr. Newton also served as assistant Circuit Attorney of St. Louis. He is an orator, a man of good address, has a fine voice and is perennial in his statements. ROBERT W. HALL, candidate for judge of the Circuit Court, has had twelve years continuous practice in law, handling cases in all the courts of Missouri and the United States. He is a Northerner, having spent most of his early life in Michigan. He is earnest in his belief that a "square deal" is due every citizen of this country, and should be given a chance to show his full strength as an arbitrator of right and justice. MOSES HARTMAN, candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court, belongs to a family of 100 per cent loyal fighting Americans. He is an able lawyer and a man of sterling qualities and admirable personality. He has declared in public that he only hoped to see the day come when the Colored men would receive equal and unbiased justice in all courts of the land. The Negroes of St. Louis will make every effort to put him on the circuit bench where he can set the example. He has always been right on the color question and he can be fully trusted. Mr. Hartman received the largest vote of any candidate for the Circuit Court in the primaries, and his election is almost assured. FRANK LANIWEHR, candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court, was not as well known before the primaries, by the Colored voters throughout the city, as he was in the 25th Ward, where he had served as Republican committeeman. The unanimous vote to his support made by the judge who had fought superpowers political battles under his leadership, and the high recommendation they gave him, swept the city by storm and he recovered the undisputed support of the Colored nation. The 25th Ward bonus of the nominee of an extra large number of Black brains, men and leading men, and to have their land MISSOURI NEEDS JUDGE SPENCER Patriotism Demands Him. Look at His Wonderful Record. He Did His Part, Let Us Do Ours. The Democrats are becoming alarmed. Judge Spencer's success in the Primaries, throughout the State was so decisive that his popularity everywhere was clearly shown. The Democrats now see that Spencer will win in the State as well as in St. Louis and they are trying to steal the election by scaring Colored voters away from the Polls by different kinds of methods, one of which is the making of a police canvass to deceive the colored voter. This one thing should be borne in mind by all colored voters; namely, that every American citizen who has resided in this City for one year prior to November 5, '18, Election Day, and who was duly registered on Registration Day, has a perfect right to vote regardless of where he works, so long as St. Louis is his home. If you are a qualified voter, DON'T fail to vote. This is a sacred right of which every man must avail himself. This Government cannot remain free unless everybody, regardless of race, creed or color has an opportunity to vote according to his choice. The Mayor, as well as the Republican City Committee has promised to protect all qualified voters in this most sacred privilege, the right of franchise. Vote the Straight Republican Ticket DON'T SCRATCH er, speaks well for the qualifications of Mr. Landwehr. Those who know him best speak of him in the highest regard. GRANVILLE HOGAN candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court. Is at present Judge of Police Court No. 1, being an appointed of Major Kiel, who is his father in law. Mr. Hogan is an able jurist and has given excellent satisfaction during his time on the bench. His decisions have been fair and aimed to render justice to all. One of his notable rulings was made in discharging a Colored man arrested for insisting upon riding in a "jitney." Judge Hogan at that time said that so long as he was on the bench no citizen, regardless of color, could be refused accommodation on any public conveyance in the city of St. Louis. Three men are to be elected to fill unexpired terms on the Circuit Bench. These nominees are WALTER J. G. NEUEN, FRANKLIN FERRIS and A. B. FREY. All are able lawyers and have been endorsed by the bar. Judge Ferris has served one term on the Circuit Bench. for re-election. Judge Holtcamp was renominated without opposition. He has served two terms efficiently, wisely and has unbiased in his rulings. NAT GOLDSTEIN, Clerk of Circuit Court, is a candidate for re-election. Mr. Goldstein was chief clerk in the office for many years and was elected to fill the unexpired term due to the death of Charles R. Graves. Since being in charge Mr. Goldstein has broken all records for efficiency. So satisfactory has been the clerical work and accommodations that he is endorsed for, re-election by both Democrats and Republicans. CHAS. K. JOY, Recorder of Doeds, is a candidate for re-election. Mr. Joy's record in the office has been above reproach. He is widely endorsed by real estate dealers and property owners in general. He was nominated without opposition. EDMOND KOBEL. Collector of the Revenue, was elected for a short term after the office had been declared under the state. He previously had been elected twice on the city ticket. His record in the office is perfect. for his third term as Prosecuting Attorney. Mr. Sidener had spirited opposition in the primaries for the second term, but was renominated the third time without an opponent. During Sidener's second term he fought against the presentation of "Birth of a Nation" until he was enclosed by the Circuit Court. He also issued a restraining order against the police in the recent registration to prevent them from interfering with Negroes getting their names on the election books. CALVIN N MILLER. Judge of the G. C. C. is a candidate for re-election. He has been on the right side of the Negro question and the main opposition the Democrats have to him is his refusal to try a number of Negroes who were illegally arrested during the election of 1916. JOHN W. DUNN, candidate for City Treasurer, is a deputy in the Collector's office, where he has served efficiently. OLIVER G. CHAPMAN, candidate for License Collector, has been chief clerk in that office. His duties have brought him in contact with thousands of persons needing advice on laws, affecting licensees and his settlemently manner and just consideration has won for him the respect of all. FRED I. G. KNITTEL, candidate for reelection to the office of Clerk of the C. C. C., was renominated without opposition. He has recovered, axed sorted and arranged the records and flow of the court, accumulated since its inception in 1866 in such a manner as to make them accessible to the public. He exacts of his subordinate prompt service and uniform courtesy to all. He stands on his record. HERMAN BADER, candidate for Clerk of the Circuit Court for Criminal Causes, has been a member of the Republican City Committee for several years and has been a constant worker in the interest of the party. He has always shown his friendship for the Colored people. Share & Share Alike THE ALLIES U.S. 70. P United States Senator SELDEN P. SPENCER State Supt. Public Schools SAMUEL A.

HOW A DRAFTED MAN IS TREATED When a man is selected for military service the immediate anxiety the immediate concern, is his destination his housing, feeding, clothing and health. The new soldier is under the direction of the Provost Marshal General's department from the time he is accepted until he takes train for the transport and undertakes take-in or charge. In his journey he lays on the treasurer's Tulman bank, swinger. Measures are provided to hilt access to wealth at a maximum cost of $6000 by the government. Under a recent ruling the selected nation is immediately given an arm- brand. This is an insignia of milit- ary guarding and is worn until he hires with a uniform. This arm- brand carries the same authority, pro- tection and responsibility that the uniform does. The enemy would have a right to fire upon him or take him prisoner, and anyone selling him liquor would be subject to pro- secution under the federal law. Lavatories are located at the rear of these quarters, with water presses and fixtures of a design similar to that used in the best hotels in the country, and for every company unit there are from four to six shower baths. Cleanliness of person and surroundings are absolute requirements. United States army. Every possible precaution is taken by the sanitary corps to insure that the camp conditions are 90 per cent sanitary. Drainage is installed along strictly scientific lines, and the most select life disposition is made of all camp sewage. During previous wars more men have died from preventable disease than from bullet wounds. During the Civil War soldiers perished by thousands from typhoid, camp fever, dysentery and kindred diseases resulting from unsanitary conditions about the camp. Those days are about the building of Camp Corgas, who made the building of Camp Corgas possible by training the Camp Zone and fitting it for human habitation, is in charge of the army sanitation. As soon as the soldier is assigned to quarriers he is given the most searching physical examination. All scientific medical tests are applied to detect disease. For instance, if there are indications of tubercular infection the patient is put under observation that there may be no mistake in the diagnosis. If there is incipient sanitaria and restored to health, if his case is advanced he is relieved from military service or exempted until physically fit. Besides the examining surgeon there is the dentist. Teeth are put in good condition here and there are dentists overcars to keep them in good condition. Also there is an orthopedic surgeon to examine the soldier's feet. It has been said that during past wars there were more descriptions from foot trouble than all others. The doctor given to the selection of shoes for the soldiers in the American army is a sidekick on the care we give our fighting men. When a soldier, gets his first pair of shoes he gets a pair that fit his feet. No account is taken of the size he wears before. His feet are placed in a cunningly devised form where the length and width are exactly determined. He heats his weight on this little machine and an officer and a non-commissioned officer takes the size record of both feet, his name, company and recipient. Then he puts on a pair of shoes of the size called for. But that doesn't end it. There is a further device that checks on the measuring machine and catches any human error in recording. This is put inside his shoe and he runs down an incline of 30 degrees, strikes the machine on the incline, and if this little machine does not make itself felt and the shoe after examination by an officer is found to be satisfactory the man is fitted and his size is added to his services record. Our soldiers are provided with clean socks, and at the end of long searches, the feet are carefully inspected by the surgeon in charge. No, army in the world has ever attained such a health record as ours, the death rate being eight out of one thousand and there and abroad. This world record is the large number of men who come down with diseases to which they were exposed before leaving home. The average gain in weight of the american soldiers since entering the service is twelve pounds per man. HYBRID RACE IN U. S. ARMY PRESENTS CURIOUS PROBLEM Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S. Carr — the knotic problem of what disposition to make of the Crotona, from North Carolina, part Indian, part New罗, with an illiterature of a Hawaiian blood, has been solved by placing them in accordance with the rules they 'nearest resemble. Their origin in North Carolina has long given them a trouble. Few whites cared to associate with them and they, would not associate with Negroes. In some counties it was necessary to establish separate schools for them. Those classes as white have been placed in white reintroductions, and usually have shown more than ordinary intelligence, and there has been no objection on the part of their white comrades. These, placed in regiments have made an unstable. The columns of the knots are filled.

HUNDREDS OF COLORED APPLIC CANTS APPLY FOR GOVERN- MENT JOBS AND ARE REJECTED. The Bee desires to emphasize its protest against the wholesale discrimination in the Government departments against Colored applicants who have successfully passed the Civil Service examination. What does it mean? The Bee again asks: The Colored Americans are loyal to this Government and they are doing everything in their power to aid the Administration in the successful prosecution of this war. What offense can be taken against Colored Americans? The Bee asks again. The bars have been lifted so that a certain favored class can pass master without an examination, while another class is compelled to enter examination and after passing successfully is rejected. What does it mean? A declaration has been reported to this office to the effect that no Colored people will be appointed by this particular official. In response to the request made by The Bee last week, many persons have announced that they have been rejected by the departments. It is necessary that every Colored applicant be rejected in his or her name at once. These names will be presented to the proper heads at once. Advertisements are being published daily that the Government is in need of clerks and other employees for war work. Hundreds of Colored Americans have applied and been rejected, and white ones cannot be obtained. Messenger boys have been advertised for and Colored people have applied, only to be refused. Is the assistance of Colored Americans needed? If so they are willing and ready to respond for their country's call. If they are needed, and the Government is in need of help, why reject Colored applicants? Show one black traitor in the ranks of Colored Americans and the Belle. If you show you one black traitor in the ranks of Colored Americans, please to one black traitor. Bee appeals to the President of the United States to direct the heads of his departments to lift the bars of, discrimination against the Colored Americans. They are competent and loyal. Then why reject them? Every Southern railroad discriminates against the Colored people without a just cause. They are treated as cattle when riding South. They are directed to a box car with no co-incidence.

REIGNS IN MIS- SISIPPI. SISIPPI. Jackson, Miss., Oct. 21.—Teachers of Mississippipli are unable to instruct drafters who are unable to read or write before they enter camp and thus wipe out the blot of illiteracy from the state, in a statement issued from the state, in a statement issued here by the state illiteracy commission. Thirteen to 18 per cent of the Mississippi white men at Camp Shelby are illiterate, the statement shows, giving this as the reason for speeding up efforts. Byron S. Leeg, social and educational secretary at Camp Shelby, recently appeared before the illiteracy commission and asked that meetings be held in each county in the state, and the men subject to draft be instructed the rudiments of reading and writing. This plan will be adopted and Mississippi's illiterate given a chance to learn before they enter camp. Yet these men had sense enough to see that Vardaman did not represent the idea, for which they were being called to give their lives. They repudiated him. FORMER ST. LOUISIAN TO. LEAVE FOR FRANCE. Mr. Artie Matthews, of Cincinnati, Ohio will soon leave for the front, according to press dispatches. Mr. Matthews, who formerly resided in this city will perhaps be remembered best by devotees of the musical shrine. He was at one time organist at All Saints Church and was foregone in all of the musical festes given by the elite circle. Mr. Matthews conducted a studio at 2106 Lawton Avenue a few years ago, and many will remember that he directed a musical rave which was the attraction at the Booker Washington Theater. As an artist in the musical world, Mr. Matthews reached the ninnacle of success after joining in Cincinnati. He later attained the title of Bachelor of Arts from the Metropolitan College of Music and when he was called to the colors he was organist of St. Andrews. Hl recent marriage to Miss Anns Howard who is also an accomplished musician. In still the same of tonic with the elite of Cincinnath. His services were eagerly sought by the National Training School of Durham, N. C., also by Bathol A. M. E. Church of Cincinnati, but on account of his leaving soon for the front national position offered could be won. RELIGION OF WHITE MAN DOUBTED Beaufort, S. C.—A, few days ago there was some excitement in the city of Beaufort, caused by the coming of Gypsy Smith, Jr., of New York. The white ministers and their congregations invited the evangelist to come and conduct a three weeks' religious campaign for the purpose of saving souls. A large tent was secured and erected on a vacant lot, and the necessary arrangements were made for the meeting. But no one was present to witness a problem and that was flow to arrange matters so that the Colored people could hear the great evangelist. Consequently the colored pastors' of Beaufort were requested to meet the white people at the Colored High School building. This council of the ministers of the two races lasted about an hour and some plain facts were stated by some of the Colored brethren, which most likely, were a surprise to the white brethren. They stated that they had invited Mr. Smith to Beaufort and that they wanted all classes, as far as possible, to bear him, and receive some of the benefits of his ministry. They further stated that the necessary funds to deliver the expenses had been arranged for "But," said they, "we live in the South, and we all know and understand white evangelism in the South. Some white evangelism constructing their campaigns, greedy to construct their campaise, but they do it under the following circumstances: First, in some cases, the Colored people are allowed to attend all the services, but a line is drawn from the pulpit to the main entrance, and the Colored folks are given one side and the white folks the other. Second, in other cases the Colored people are given a service all to themselves, which may be one in each week or on Sunday after hours, with on other cases, the evangelists, with services at an early hour for the white people and at a later hour for the Colored people." After stating these plans, the spokesman for the white brethren asked the Colored ministers which of these plans did they think would work best in Beaufort. And they were told that Beaufort was "a peculiar town." Conditions existed here that perhaps did not exist anywhere else in the South. They were told that the Negroes of Beaufort hated and utterly abhorred everything that looked like "jim crowism," whether it be in gospel tents, churches, theaters, waiting rooms, railway trains trolley cars or stained glass statements like this, coming from the South. They seemed to have thrown cold water on the meeting, and the talk the white brethren said they would talk the matter over with Mr. Smith when he came, and would let the Colored brethren know. A few days after this conference Mr. Smith came, began his meeting and preached one week. Just about that time the Spanish influenza struck the city and the health authorities ordered all churches, tents, lodges and schools closed. Mr. Smith held his final service, closed up and left. He was some before the Negroes knew it. They never had the privilege of hearing the distinguished men from New York. But the writer himself, Mr. Smith, said, and credit, that he desired to preach to the Colored people, but not under any "jim crow" arrangement. He so expressed himself in a private conversation, with some of the leading Colored men of Beaufort. But what the Colored people of Beaufort said and did, perhaps the Colored people of any other Southern city would have done. It is a fact which is very much to be regretted that the Colored people in the South are gradually losing faith in the white man's religion. The Negro is thinking—education or no education—and is learning the art of comparison. He cannot reconcile the white man's profession of Christianity and his treatment of the race. How is it, he asks, that the white man claims to be such a Christian and keeps up this barbarous custom of lycheting and burning of Negroes? In addition to that they "him crow" him at every point, even at their religious gatherings and disfranchise him at the pools. The Negroes feel that the white ministers of the South endorse all this treatment, hence they are not at all anxious to hear them preach the Gospel Jesus Christ. If they were sinful the professors of discipline of Jesus, the professors of religion that these ministers of Christ ought to possess more of the spirit of Christ and endeavor to change sentiment and customs in the South and not condone them. The writer has heard Colored people say, again, and again that they did not care to hear white men preach, because they have no confidence in the religion of the white folks. This being the case, it is not surprising to find that the Colored people of Beaufort and Beaufort County have allowed this feeling to enter into their business relations. They prefer, in every line, to do business with the men of their own race and color. As a result, they have been in county and county, and only 5,000 whites, any one can easily see how well the Colored business man fares. He gets a liberal patronage from the members of his race. The doctors, the dentists, the butchers, and the merchants all do a good business. A large number of Jews are in Beaufort, and on the islands around, and they also do a good business among the Negroes. In the town, by employing Colored clerks, and they get a large portion of it too. The writer presumes that, to some extent, the same condition obtains elsewhere in the South.

THE CASKY-HUFFMAN WEDDING An important wedding occupied the attention of society the past week.

STEVENS APPEALS TO CENTRAL MEMBERSHIP Beloved in Christ: It seems probable at this writing that the barn will be on our churches on Sunday next. The situation is quite serious from many points of view. Let us lean hard on God in prayer in these trying hours. Make Sunday count for God in our various homes. The first meeting places of Christianity were the houses of the saints. I am asking every member of Central to do several things, namely: First—Send or bring the envelope offering to the church on Sunday between 11 and 4 o'clock, or any day before next Wednesday. Pastor has a message for each member Sunday as he or she passes in and out. Second—Let each member on Sunday, or within 'the next two of three days, try to see the members in his own block or is his immediate neighborhood. I suggest that this visiting, after your own home devotions, take place between 3 and 6 o'clock on Sunday. The aim is to strengthen the sick and discouraged, to urge all to stand by Christ and his church at this serious hour, and to pray that the Spirit of God may overrule this closing period in the great awakening of all our churches when the ban is off. Third—The matter which I am calling your attention so is in reference to the election on next Tuesday, Nov. 5. I am justified in speaking to you as your pastor on this matter, because the entire Negro community has been scandalized by Democratic partisan politicians. I am asking that all the men of Central who are qualified to vote to go to the polls early on election day and cast their ballot. It all the forces of hell oppose you, do not be intimidated. Defy them! Let those who would real your rights, the assassins of your name, know that you are American freemen just a brave here in St. Louis for the fundamentals of freedom as are our boys in the trenches of Europe for world democracy. As I see it, dear ones, it is distinctly in the interest of our race that all Colored men vote the straight Republican ticket at this time. Let all the men and women of Central get busy to strengthen all Negro voters to do their duty and the men. We must fight the saloon to its death. Yours, in Christ. Pastor Geo. N. Stevens. Y. M. C. A.

If the embargo on account of the indignation obtains longer, it will be difficult to say just where we left off. It is said that Noble Bert North has received his classification card from the local board, placing him in Class A. Word copies that fanatics among the Catholicity are spreading rumors of great press supply to he One of the members of F. J. Brown bodge No. 30 was buried with full Masonic honors last Sunday. We have been unable to ascertain the name of the deceased, but we did hear that on account of the Illness of Monroe Ernest, W. M of that lodge, the Seni- er Warden G. B. Key, performed the funeral ceremonies with credit to him- self and his lodge and well represent- ed Master Ernest. Ignorance has shortened more lives than the sword. Jno C. Feugh Deputy, Grand High President of Royal Arch Masons, is about cain after a severe spell of illness. Attains the matter of recommending physicians to their sick is left entirely with the executives of a judge, chides more so with the secretaries. Guffing this to be true the question is being asked why some of our sick girls being cared for by white doctors. Some men are like wine—age sour the bad and improves the good. Mrs. Bettie Ernest, 3324 Lawton, is confined to his bed on account of illness. On account of the embargo being placed in the public gatherings, the entertainment that was announced for New Year's at Almack's Hall, under the auspices of Saste P. Warren, Temple 229, S. M. T. has been indefinitely compounded. Tickets sold for said affair will be redeemable when ban is lifted. . . . Sneak well of thy friend, be silent of thy enemy. Harvey Lott is ill it his residence. 100 Pine Street. Now is the time to visit him. Members of the Masonic craft are pleased to hear of the physical improvement of Dr. Dobson, Junior Warden of Ionic Lodge, who has been ill for several weeks. The Scottish Rite Cathedral Association, white has made written protest to the Board of Public Service against the direction of a crematorium and columbarium by Frank B. Gibson at the northeast corner of Theresa and Foleas avenues. The protest says that the interior of the city is not a fitting place. The Scottish Rite organization owns property in the neighborhood, and a large percentage of the Negro population reside in the neighborhood. There is perhaps no organization of brotherhood on the face of the earth taken singly or collectively, but is contributing as much as the Masone fraternity. Subordinate and Grand Lodge have put millions of dollars into Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps, and furnished many, many thousands of men to help thwart, conquer and destroy for all One the murderous policy and ungodly conduct of Kaiserism, and German Kultur, and when peace shall have been declared both will be a thing of the past, and the principles, of Masone will superseize Kaiserism and Kultur throughout Germany and all her allied territories, and it will cover those regions as the waters cover the face of the great deep. True, it will take years to bring it all about, but come it will, and come it will too as a welcome visitor and it will prove a Godsend to, all the France and England assisted by the United States will assist in reestablishing the craft and in bringing about, brotherly love to underside hatred and strife and justice, and equal peace love and mercy shall cement all into a perfect union with the Fatherhood of God and the Grawhood of Man with this motto: "Our home is just and in God we all trust." I may take several years to accomplish all this, but I do not believe it will, with the present rapid rate things move, and though I am 60 years old, I may possibly live to see the consummation of a part of this grand and noble work finished. When the work is once set in motion it will move with the swiftness of a cyclone for the reason that the time will be ripe and the people will be ready for action. Educating the people along strictly Masone lines will come later and it will be sought with avidity and will be planted deep into the hearts of the new converts who will live it while traveling through this vale of tears to the judgment seat of one true and living God, who is father of all and in all. Masonry, planted in Germany has not been lost and while the Kaiser may think he has obliterated it, he has not and when this world war has ended it will take root and grow as it never grew before for the season there will be more need of a great brotherhood and none will dare hinder mielest or make them afraid, and God will be made known to a people that little dreamed of a Universal Father, to whom all shall bow the knee, both great and small, and crown Him Lord of all. No power save that of the Almighty can retard the onward march of Masonry in the war stricken zones of the world, and it will be needed worse after this great war than ever before.

There are many ideas and touches in hair work. You should know them. By Rev Earl J. Jackson The Capitol City is now in the three of a spiritual dearth. We had learned to adjust ourselves to the necessary deprivations brought on by the conditions of the war, but are we had time to compliment our successes, gained as adepts in this new economy, here we are under the threat of a new command—deny yourselves of spiritual fod. The derelict church member along with all the rest, seems to be smartening under the yoke. He has awakened from his slumber, and now everywhere the parson places his feet he must answer the question: "When will the churches be opened again?" "I am starving spiritually," they say. "It is very complimentary of the Colored people of this section that as dreadful as the (Flu) epidemic has been, there are but few cases reported among us. As to the churches, they should be opened by all means. It requires much faith, and more grace to meet the issues of the day; a thing that we have not heretofore been over-dosed with. With the churches closed—like a furnace on a cold day, the fire of the souls will die out. God will take care of his people, and those who persistently follow Satan, he will get anyway church or no church. Everywhere one looks he may see crowded saloons, then why not one hour in the church once per week? Only a loud blowing trumpet by the minister has any tendency to overcrowd the pews in most of the churches, so let us have worship and ask God to better the conditions. "Man's extremity is God's opportunity." It was a sad occasion with the many friends and parents at the home of Port. J. W. Daniel last Friday evening, when they gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to Mr. Albert Daniel, son of the above-named father. Albert was one of the most promising young men of this community. He enlisted in the United States army several years ago and during his stay became physically unable to perform the duties of a soldier; thus he was honorably discharged. When the recent war was declared he endeavored to reenlist, but was turned back. However, feeling that it was his duty to serve his country in some capacity, he later filed application to enter the Y. M. C. A. work, and was received and placed in charge as one of the secretaries at Camp Funston, Kansas. He was there only as short while before he paid a visit to his parents and friends in the city. He died on the 17th and was brought home on the 17th. He influenza restrictions placed on the churches caused eulogy to be conducted in a brief way at the home of the father. Many of the friends and relatives braved the conditions and put in their presence, that they might share the sympathies of the heart stricken believed. Condolences came from the St. Louis and also Jefferson City Alumni Associations, and from Camp Funston, the men sent one of their best young men to say parting words to the relatives. The Christian minister of the city, assisted by Revs. J. W. Curry, E. L. Seruges, J. D. Dodson, conducted the services. The body was placed in the National Cemetery as its final resting place. In this way the many friends voice their sympathies to the bereaved. "There's nothing terrible in death; 'Tis but to cant our robes away And sleep at night without a break!

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 3 LESSON TEXT-Genesis 34 GOLDEN TEXT—Every man that striv- s for the mastery is temperate in all problematic ways, but we an incorruptible Coolishness 4.5 DEVOTIONAL READING—Romana 14: B. B ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS- I Corinthians 8:1-13, 10:21-13, Hebrews 12:18-17. 1. Boys With a Difference (v. 27). Esau and Jacob were in decided contrast. They differed in appearance and disposition. Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. They were born that way. Every child born into the world possesses a peculiar bent which we call individuality. No two are exactly alike, even twins like Esau and Jacob. The wise parent, the wide-awake teacher, the educator, seeks diligently to discover that peculiar individuality, and to give it direction according to the laws of its own being. This bent is the basis of character. Neither Esau nor Jacob is an ideal personality. Both are selfish. H. Parental Favoritism (v. 28). Isaac loved Esau because he did eat of his venison. He ought to have loved him because he was his son, but it is a sad commentary upon a father that his love for his son had such a sordid taste as that of his stomach. Isaac, however, was like many today, whose love is secured through their appetites. Rebecca loved Jacob, though we are not told why. Perhaps it was because of his cunning. In this respect he was like his mother, who practiced craftiness to a finish on her husband. Cleverness is a bond which strengthens together many people. Many hold the respect of their friends because of their shrewdness, irrespective of their moral qualities. Parents should treat their children alike. To show partiality is both unwise and unjust. Even when children possess peculiar qualities which call forth parental infection, it should never be made manifest that preference is made. III. A Birthright Sold (vv. 29-34). 1. Easan's profanity (Heb. 12:16,17). He sold his birthright for a bowl of pottage. The birthright was the right of being at the head of the patrilarchal family, a position of honor and influence, as well as being the inheritor or of a double portion of the father's estate. This being a gift of God should not be despised. He came from hunting physically exhausted. In this moment, of distress, he thought only of that which promised immediate satisfaction. He was willing to relinquish all claim upon the future, if only his present desire could be gratified. A profane person is one who for the enjoyment of the present will forfeit all claim upon the future. He would gladly gain both worlds, but seeing that mess of pottage he lets go of the future for the present. Swearing is profanity, but not the most common. To be under the sway of appetite is to be profane. What profanity about us! For a moment's sinful pleasure men and women are throwing away innocence, happiness, and their souls 'eternally'. This is most serious, for acts are irrevocable. 2. Jacob's cunning. It was right that Jacob should have the birthright, for it was (according to God's plan, which had been pronounced (v. 23), but his scheme to get it is to be condemned. He took advantage of his brother's weakness to drive a sharp bargain. The same thing is practiced when under the force of necessity unlawful interest is exacted, or property is bought under price because one is obliged to sell. To get rich at the expense of another is to practice Jacob's sin. Modern competitive business methods to a decided extent are of this type. Let each one ask: "Is my name Jacob?" The end never justifies the means. God said that the elder should serve the younger. It was his plan that Jacob should be at the head, but God was able to bring his own plans to pass. He did not need the scheming of Jacob and his mother to further his plans. To do evil that good may come is always wrong. Understanding the Bible. I believe that the Bible is to be understood in the plain and obvious meaning of its passages; for I cannot persuade myself that a book intended for the instruction and conversion of the whole world should cover its true meaning in any such mystery, and doubt that none but critics and philosophers can discover it.—Daniel Webster. Public Good. There never was found in any age of the world, either religion or law that did so highly exalt the public good as the Bible—Bacon. With Christ's Aid. With the power of Christ perfected in my weakness, I am equal to every temptation, competent for every duty, equipped for every struggle, the master of every fear—W. L. Watkinson.
