TIME ALLOWED EMPLOYEES TO VOTE AT ALDERMAN ELECTION TUESDAY Any person entitled to vote at any election in this State shall, on the day of such election, be entitled to absent himself from any services or employment in which he is then engaged or employed, for a period of four hours between the times of opening and closing the polls; and such voter shall not, because of absenting himself, be liable to any penalty; provided, however, that his employer may specify the hours during which such employee may absent himself as aforesaid. Any person or corporation who shall refuse to any employee the privilege hereby conferred, or shall discharge or threaten to discharge any employee for absenting himself from his work for the purpose of said election, or shall cause any employee to suffer any penalty or deduction of wages because of the exercise of such privilege, or who shall directly or indirectly violate the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof be fined in any sum not exceeding five hundred dollars. Next Tuesday, April 1, is Muhiechal Election day in the City of St. Louis. A president and fourteen members of the Board of Aldermen are to be elected. The members will be elected from the fourteen even wards, but every voter, in every precinct in all of the wards of the city is entitled to vote for all of the candidates. The polls will be open in all of the 500 precincts from 6 a. m. to 7 p. m. Every voter must have the following qualifications: 1st. You must be registered from your present address. 2nd. You shall have lived in the state one year. 3rd. You shall have lived in the city sixty days. HOW TO VOTE ON ELECTION DAY. On April 1, go to your voting place, give your name and address to a judge, after which he will hand you four different ballots, Republican, Democrat, Socialist, and Bi-Partisan, take these into the booth and pick the Republican ballot, fold and carefully hand back to the judge and see that it is placed in the ballot box. The Democrats, as usual, have a trick up their sleeves, but there is no reason to believe that the watchful public will let it be worked. The city charter provides that in the absence of the Mayor the President of the Board of Aldermen shall act in his place. If the office becomes vacant at any time for any cause during the Mayor's term, the president shall become Mayor until the next regular election. Therefore, the Democrats will use every effort to elect their candidate, Flint Garrison, to the presidency of the Board of Aldermen next week, hoping that the recall of Mayor Kiel will be accomplished and Garrison would become Mayor. If their dream should come true, the entire Republican force in the city employ would be routed as the Mayor has the power of appointment of all heads of departments and these in turn control their subordinates. While there is little chance that the scheme will succeed, it is imperative that every voter should go to the polls Tuesday and cast a straight Republican Ticket. Don't scratch, a split ticket might turn the trick. UNITED RAILWAYS DEAL BEST FOR CITY. The recall petitions being circulated by the Citizens' Referendum League and the Civic League grow out of Mayor Kiel's mill tax franchise deal with the United Railways. The agreement merely means that the city withdrew from its fight to terminate the franchise of the Jefferson Avenue Line so that the United Railways can borrow money to pay its mill tax indebtedness to the city. It means the ending of the protracted and expensive litigation forced upon the City by the United Railways Company and securing of every dollar to accrue in the future, making available during the next ten years for municipal purposes more than five millions of dollars, payable in annual installments of one-half million dollars with interest. The Jefferson Avenue Line would be of no value if run independently. There would be no transfers and citizens who have to use the line would be forced to spend double fare in order to reach any other point in the city. Unless the United Railways maintains control of all its lines, as at present, we would have individual ownership, and increased cost of transportation. didates: "Street railway transportation is a matter of the most vital interest and a subject of heated controversy not only in St. Louis but in practically all cities throughout the entire country.

The St. Louis Argus Published In The Interest Of $ ^{2} $ Colored People ST.LOUIS MAY HAVE MODERN EQUIPPED PRIVATE HOSPITAL If Citizens Will Appreciate the Necessity and Rally to the Support of the People's Association in its Campaign to Raise $20,000 Which Starts Thursday. Building is Well Adapted to Scientific Development and All Essential Conveniences. Few Seem to Know Commendable Record This Institution Has Made In Six Months. The coming campaign to raise $20,000 for the People's Hospital naturally attracts the attention of progressive citizens toward that institution. Although every community has its private hospitals it is a woeful fact that few persons really appreciate their few. A majority of the people will welcome one of these institutions where the best that science can command is at their service to bring them back to health and happiness. Only a small percent of the people of St. Louis have paid any attention to the fact that on the corner of Pine and Theresa they have a hospital in well arranged and commodious building, that is destined to be one of the best in the country. An Argus reporter was impressed with this when he visited the place this week. The big building is present, and it is one half of it is absolutely fire proof, with grantfold floors throughout. The entire plant is steam heated, with hot and cold water and electric lights. There are thirty private rooms for patients, some with private baths, and all equipped with electric call buttons. They are absolutely sanitary. On each floor are four toilets. Two large wards will accommodate 18 beds and another can be equipped for 12 more. Other rooms are used as Dining room, kitchen, reception room, lecture hall, and a chart room on each floor where a constant record of the patient's progress is kept for the convenience of the visiting physicians. Two kitchens, one especially for diets, serve the place. There is also a large section adaptable to a dispensary which the hospital association hopes to soon open. The nurse's quarters are on the third floor. An electrically operated laundry room, Dr. Edward J. Davis is superintendent; Mrs. E. B. Thornton, the matron; Miss M. W. Weaver is head nurse and assisted by ten students in the training school. The balance of the force comprises of two maids, a cook, fanitor and other assistants. All are enthusiastic over the future prospects of the institution but would be better pleased if the citizens in general would show more interest by visiting the place. Dr. De Joris explains that this would be especially gratifying to them, as they would be pleased to acquaint the people with the magnitude of the undertaking. Every one is welcome during the afternoon visiting hours, from 2 to 4. Within six months, the People's Hospital has treated 200 patients, (including charity patients) and performed 80 operations. The monthly expense is $900; interest on mortgage $120 a month, and salary of employees $350 a month. Each patient is kept at a daily loss, Of course, everyone knows that a hospital never arrives, at the point of a visit. This is the People's Hospital Association will conduct a rally from April 3 to 13 to raise $20,000. Every citizen should help, and if the amount is raised, which it should readily be, it will not begin to start the improvements which are essential to every well equipped hospital and which should be the pride of all St. Louis. Workers Will Meet Monday. The campaign will be under the management of Mr. Jas, L. Usher. All captains, leutenants and team workers will meet at the hospital, 3447 Pine street, Monday, March 31, at 10 a.m. The team is authorizing them to solicit funds. A number of four-minute speakers will visit churches and moving picture houses to publish to the people the fact the "drive" is on. $2,500 For Fingers PINE BLUFF. Ark., March 27.—In the Circuit court of this city, Elbert Kibler, a Colored man, was awarded $2,500 damages against the Cotton Belt railway Co. for the loss of a third of three fingers of his right hand. Kibler while in the employ of the defendant company got his fingers caught between a cable and drum and had a third of three fingers mashed off. The jury thought his injuries worth the damages given The Making of A Nation "The Making of A Nation," is a book dealing with the social, political and economic conditions of the Negro. It tells of how he came to dwelt in this land: how he lives; his successes and failures, and finally in a logical and pointed manner suggests a remedy. The material I this publication is need by Ford Harry Hapes. The book he read and endorsed by every hopeful man and woman of the race. Through special arrangements of the Argus Publishing Company, the sale price has been reduced to 25 cents per copy. On sale at all news stands.

A. Declaration was everything that St. Louis people should desire. This week was the celebration of the achievement of our own group of people in St. Louis. It furnished occasion for tribute from the whole outside world. It has been the means of cementing together the good of both races in St. Louis, that are working for the common good of all. Beginning Sunday, Senator Solder P. Spencer made a telling address praising the Colored people for what they had done, saying that they had achieved a greater success than any other group of Colored people in the country in the promotion of the Y.

A. is now ready for business and to serve the men and boys of St. Louis in a greater way. NEW YORK, March 27.—Angered by ejection last Tuesday night of a Colored soldier from a surface car on the Lenox-Lexington avenue line, a mob of 300 Negroes waylaid the car on its return trip and in a fight with the motorman and the police who tried to protect him, stabbed the carman twenty times, so seriously that he may die, and injured two policemen. Threats to assault white residents of the district resulted in establishment of a heavy police guard for that night. An explosion on the roof of a one-story brick building at 2000 Market street at 1:10 a. m. Thursday, broke windows in 25 hotels, stores and business: houses in the neighborhood of Union Station, including the Terminal Hotel and the Union Station Bank. There are several business places in the neighborhood conducted by Colred men. All suffered more or less damage. The entire front of the Monarch Barber shop, owned by M. Sullivan, the Brunswick Pool Hall, by J. D. Mason, and one show window was blown out of the Monarch Buffet front; the windows of A. Seay's barber shop were shattered and the Newport Shaving Parlor cracked. Nearly all second story windows in the neighborhood were totally destroyed or cracked. Mr. Haywood H. Hillyer, general secretary and national organizer of the American Army Association is to organize a branch under the auspices of the Boosters' Club at Pythian Hall, Sunday, March 20. The A. A.

"I am proud of the deeds of our forefathers in the Civil War. They fought for our freedom.

Statements Corroborated By Wit- Dr. Le-Roy N. Bundy took the witness stand in his own behalf Wednesday night at Waterloo, Ill., where a night session of the Circuit Court was held in his trial. Dr. Bundy, firmly an East St. Louis dentist, is charged with being one of a number of men who shot and killed Wadley and Wodley at the beginning of the East St. Louis riot of July 2, 1917. Dr. Bundy swore that the night of the riot he drove one of his two service cars for three men and a woman who visited the White City former Priester's Park, on the Belleville Rock road, and other resorts. He said the call for an auto came at 9:30 the night of July 1, and that it was 12:30 when he shot him of the shooting when he got home and that a little later Ed Wilson, the Negro who identified Bundy as being in the mob, identified at his service station and told him of the shooting. Bundy testified that he conducted a service station for automobiles at his home, 1700 Bond avenue, and that he also bought and sold autos. He said that he owned a big red automobile, and it was one of six of the same size and color that he had owned at different times. Bundy said that after returning to his home shortly after the shooting of Coppegale and Wilhelm, he did not leave home until the following day when he accepted the advice of his attorney, N. W. Pavlen, and went over to St. Louis. Later, he said, he went to Cleveland, Ohio, where his father lives. This, he said, was two weeks after the riot. In regard to fighting extradition when officers went to Ohio to bring him back to Illinois Bundy said that the fight for him was made by his father and he did not furnish the money. Bundy was shown a photograph of an automobile stalling in front of the East St. Louis Police Station which showed him standing beside the car with his foot on the running board. This was the automobile used to bring arms and ammunition from St. Louis to East St. Louis the day after the first fire, May 29, 1919. The munition weighed a hundred pounds, the auto, and when the men in the car reached the east end of the bridge they were arrested and the arms and ammunition seized. Bundy said that the car was not his but that he had own owned it. He said that after the men were arrested he went to the police station to help the man to whom he had sold the car. In establishing an alibi for Bundy, Oscar Wallace of Maryville, Ill., took the stand and testified that on the night of July 1 he hired one of Bundy's automobiles and that Bundy drove it. He swore that in company with Frank Davis and George Lyons of Collinsville and Miaa Mary Campbell of East St. Louis they were driven by Bundy from 9:30 p. m. of July 1 until 12:00 a. m. the following morning. The murder was committed between 12:05 and 12:10 the morning of July 2. Wallace says that Bundy drove them to the White City and other resorts near Edgemont. Other alibi witnesses were the Misses Cora and Daisy Westbrook, public school teachers of East St. Louis. They said they were in Bundy's other automobile the night of the riot. First they went to Brooklyn with two men, who are now in the army, and later they were in the same automobile with Henry Bayless. J. C. Hennington and Tom Kyle of East St. Louis were called to discredit the testimony of Ed Wilson who, in his testimony, positively identified Bundy as being present when the detectives were killed. They said that Wilson had said in their presence that he was Bundy's police beat him when they had taken Bundy and forced him to give the testimony he gave in Belleville when ten persons were sent to the penitentiary for complicity in the riot. The Bundy case has been in court since Tuesday, March 18. The State closed its case Monday night, without examining all its witnesses, on the strength of the belief that sufficient evidence had been produced to prosecute. GRANDMASTER OF MASONS OF MISSOURI VIBITS CITY W. W. Fields, grandmaster of Masons of the Valley of Missouri, spent Tuesday of this week in St. Louis the guest of I. H. Bradbury, junior warden of the Masonic grand lodge of Missouri. The grandmaster was enroute to his home at Cameron, Mo., after an official visit to Poplar Hill.

Day Course, open to Students seeking a certificate CLEMENT RICHAFDSON President 11:00 a.m., Dr. Hicks presented his discourse from Acts 2:47; latter clause "And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." The sermon was based principally on the necessity of building up the church of our choice in our own community, to the house of God, and to the house of God, whose lame excuses which we allow ourselves to offer. 8:00 p. m., the A. C. E. League rendered an interesting program: aside from the beautiful solo and singing by the choir there were three very interesting numbers: Mrs. Mildred Anthony, ex-president of the Junior Endeavor League, once more rehearsed the work among its members and its ability to construct a strong future church. Lieut. D. W. Anthony and Sergt. Henry Carter. D who have recently arrived from overseas were present. Lieut. Anthony gave us an extensive and interesting talk relative to the journey to and from France, and his experience while at the front. The Lieut. was one of the first commissioned officers sent out from Des Moines in 1871, in which he also appointed censor; he is at Jefferson Barracks, where he expects to receive his discharge soon. So very interesting are his experiences we hope some time in the near future to find them enclosed in book form with the Lieut. as its author. He brought with him many interesting souvenirs. Sergt. Carter's talk was no less interesting, other than he had very recently contracted a very severe cold and found it necessary to limit his remarks to help his food supplies "Over There," making it possible for the men at the front to win. They each are too modest to accept the tribute "hero," which they are, and we are proud of them. The concert rendered by the girls vs. boys of the S. S. last Thursday evening was a success.

C. A. Williams Sunday a.m. taken from Qen. 2:9. Our Father speaking with Adam. With a clear, keen voice, his words were heard in every book and corollary of the large cathedral and his words was permeated with a sense of stand with your Make! We are sure that each one, in his mind took inventory, and it is needless to say that many made new and silent convictions as the gospel preserver hurried "Where art thou and how stands the case with you!" Many saw their error when they tried to imitate Adam, in shifting the blame from one to another, but Rev. Williams, in his own way, love every one, case away and directed that each one was able to God for his or her conduct. Many of our people who migrate from the State or country and fail to remain active in church work in their new homes were made feel a bit uneasy as the speaker showed them the error of their way of inactivity, and at the close of his sermon, thirteen, including one minister and one convert pressed their way to the akar and there united with the church.

To the Public: I write this because I wish suffering humanity to be benefited. I suffered with Sciatic Rheumatism for 13 weeks. My desh was so sore I could not stand my clothes 'to touch me. The pains ran from my hip to my big toe on the left side, and felt like a thousand needles were piercing my flesh. I did not rest day or night; now I can sleep like a baby from 9 at night till 4 in the morning. I was very nervous and depressed in spirit and the pains in my head were so severe I thought at times I would lose my mind. I feel better now than I have since last August. I had not been able to be out of the house since October 23, when a friend advised me to try these remedies. After I had taken six doses of the New Discovery and the Blood and Liver Tablets, I could see a difference and when I had taken it steady for three weeks I was able to walk anywhere in the house. I am very grateful for these remedies. Yours very respectfully, MRS. J. E. COHRON, 2942ClarkAve. REGISTERED BY ACT OF CONGRESS 1883 GUARANTEED by Wm. S. P.

If you suffer the agonies of rheumatism, or lame back, aching joints and bones, swollen muscles, distorted or bent foot, sudden pain attacking you most any time, then take the prescription of a famous specialist meant for just such a condition. It is known to our home prescription druggists by the number C-2223. Directions for home treatment and dose pasted on the bottle. This prescription (C-2223) is liquid and one of our down town druggists explained that it drains out of our system all the poisons, uric acid and impurities which cause rheumatism, besides it purifies and enriches the blood. Thousands of restored patients give a living witness of the wonderful carative powers of C-2223 for rheumatism, so it seems well worth while trying, especially as our home druggists will give as back even the small fee charged for the Prescription C-2226 if it don't help us any.

LOUIS ARGUS South Needs Negro: Labor JACKSONVILLE, FLA. Mar. 27.—There is a big demand here for Negro laborers, and there is a fight on up North to keep them from returning South. Several days ago, Federal Director, G. B. Travis was advised that Negroes in several communities in Pennsylvania were available, and he at once informed Southerners that they would be sent if transportation was provided for. When this fact was leamed by Northern employers, a big protest went up, and consequently the Negro is proving more and more that he is in demand. "We are willing to work anywhere," said one laborer, "if we can be treated as men, and given an unmolested chance to look after our families. We are lot shirkers, and look for a better dry." Enthusiastic Revival In Deleware GEORGETOWN, Del., March 27.—Revival services in progress here, among the Colored churches, have grown to such proportions that the management finds it necessary to hold afternoon sessions in order to accommodate the people. Hundreds of white people are being converted at these metings. Some enthu siastic persons believe that the millium is at hand. Michigan Civil Rights Bill LANSING, Mich., March 27.—Rep. Copley, of the Michigan legislature, is the author of a civil rights bill, which makes it a misdemeanor to draw color line in any public place, or to have in view any signs that show discrimination. Mr. Copely said: "We did not draw the color line in drafting our army. Why should we discriminate against them now by refusing admission to the atres, eating places and other public resorts?" Police Officer Reinstated BUFFALO, N. Y., March 27.—Judson Westmoreland, the Negro police officer, special, who was released by the Chief of police, was reinstated in his position when the report got out that he was released because of a trumped up charge against him by a taxi driver. The chief stated that Westmoreland was on special work, and was released with others, but rather than have it said that he was prejudiced, he would give Westmoreland his job back, which he did at once. Colored Go To Private Schools ATLANTA, Ga., March 27.—The Negroes of Atlanta are saving the city more than $200,000 per year, it was publicly stated today, by sending more than 3,000 children to private schools. This is manifestly unfair to the Negroes, it was pointed out in view of the fact that they pay a large portion of the taxes. However the majority of the public schools here, as well as elsewhere in the South, are such miserable things, that the pride of the Race will not permit their children to attend. Deportation Of Negro Labor WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 27. Investigation of a report that Negro workmen employed in steel plants at Coatesville, Pa., are being deported by the constabulary was ordered by the department of labor. Charles J. Fury, commissioner of conciliation will condit the inquiry. Heavy Fine For Bootlegging PORTLAND, Ore. Mar. 27. Federal Judge Wolteron overstepped the bounds prescribed by the law for ordinary bootlegging and fined J. A. Nichols $250 and sentenced him to twelve months imprisonment in the county jail. Nichols is a Pullman porter, and the wrath of the judge was aroused by the large number of porters found bringing liquor into the state. Negro Bataillon For Minnesota ST. PAUL, Minn. March 27. The announcement has been made through Adjt. General W. F. Rhinow, that a Negro Bataillon of Engineers will be handed to the National Guard of the state. Memorial In Jim Crow Park NASHVILLE. Teen., March 27.—Thousands at the Negroes of this city have entered protest against the erection of a memorial in Centennial Park for the soldiers of the world war. The park is "exclusively for whites" and the Colored people say "it would be contrary to every principle of right and justice to build a memorial to soldiers of the state who gave their lives in the world war, thousands of whom were Colored, and place it where neither the Colored soldiers nor their relatives would be permitted to go and see it." Says Ballou Was Unjust INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Mar. 27.—The unjust treatment of Major General Ballou, late of the 92nd Division, was given an airing at the Y. M. C. A hore by Idest. J. H. N. Waring of the 3674th Infantry. He said that the people of America do not know yet what the Colored officers had to stand from their superior white officers in France, and yet in spite of the very obvious unfairness the Colored officers rained the respect of their men and hold it. Lieutenant - Waring said further: General Ballou, who was appointed to command upon the petition of Colored officers, should have been fair but he was not. As soon as he got in France he tried to get every Colored officer out of the division, and would have succeeded had not the matter come to the attention of General Pershing. Ballou wanted to replace us with white officers." WASHINGTON, D.C., March 27. There is much bad feeling here among the Colored people of Washington, because the veterans of the District Senate Battalion, which won great honors on the battlefields of France, were permitted to arrive, in the city without announcement and a formal parade. Washington is the only one of the large cities, and the nation's capital at that, that has ignored the coming of the great Colored American heroes of the world war. The Y. M. C. A. In Quincy THE Y. M. C. A. In Quincy QUINCY, III., March 27.-Colored young men of this city were permitted to practice on the floors of the Y. M. C. A. here in the afternoons, but were denied the use of lockers, shower bath and swimming pool This is the State of Lincoln. Refused Room; Starts Fire NEW, YORK, March 27—Mrs. Mary George, 31, 2463 Richmond Terrace, was arrested here for getting fire to the homes of two white people. She had seen "For Rent" signs in the windows, and when she applied for rooms, was refused on account of her color. The woman, so she claims, determined to set fire to the places to vindicate her Race, and show to the world the kind of discrimination going on in America. Taft For President CHICAGO, IL., March 27.—The addition of the name of former President William Howard Taft to the list of presidential possibilities has caused a new series of comments to arise from various sources. While president, Mr. Taft grew in the affection of many Colored people of the country, and is regarded by thousands as one of the fairest of American presidents. It was he who appointed William H. Lewis of Boston, as Assistant Attorney General of the United States, and in many ways he has manifested a high regard and interest in the Race. While Mr. Taft is swinging into popularity at present because of his great interest in the successful establishment of the League of Nations, he will also be remembered by the Colored people of the country for his personal interest in Negro education and general Race advancement. Mercy Hospital New Home PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 27.—The Colored people of this city have been successful in acquiring the property of the Protestant Episcopal Divinity School, at Fiftieth and Woodland Avenue, the same to be occupied as the Mercy Hospital and school for nurses. The sale price is $120,000. For many years Mercy Hospital has been located at Fittwater and 17th Sts, but the largely increased population of the city, together with the ever increasing patronage has made it necessary for the management to secure more commodious quarters. The president of the hospital is Rev. Dr. Henry L. Phillips; the secretary, John W. Harris, the executive secretary, Thomas Hodge; the treasurer, Martin I. Lehmann and the medical director, Dr Algernon B. Jackson. National Health Week NASHVILLE, Teen., Mar. 27 — The executive committee of the National Negro Business League suggests that it would be a fitting way to commemorate the birth of the originator of national Negro Health Week, to have this observance to begin on April 5, the anniversary of the birth of Dr. Looker T. Washington. The executive committee also invites opinions as to the appropriateness of each year observing national Negro Health Week as a part of the commemoration of the anniversary of the birth of the originator of this movement. The executive committee of the National Negro Business League invites all organizations toUTE with the league in observing National Health Week. Correspondence or suggestions may be addressed to Robert R. Maton, Chairman, Executive Committee, National Negro Business League. Tom Vernon Inst. or to-1 C. Nagler president, Nashville, Teen. Medical Association Pres. On Tour RICHMOND, Va., March 27—Dr. D. A. Ferguson, president of the National Medical Association, will attend the metings of the Alabama Medical Society and the John A. Andrews Clinical Society, April 15, at Tuskegee, Ala. His Southern literary will include Atlanta, Montgomery, Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington and other cities, in interest of the National Medical Association, which needs in Newark, N. J. Aug. 26 29. A Western tour has been planned for the near future. Southern Judge Lauds Negroes BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Mar. 27, Judge W. E. Fort, white, repelling the new spirit among Southern whites, addressed the returned Negro soldiers recently and paid high tribute to their patriotism and valor. He stated that the time has come when the Negro must be given an equal opportunity in the battle of life, and no other course could be pursued in justice to the ideals for which the United States fought. Whites Forget Prejudice CINGINXATI, O.5 March 27—Precedence, which is as rampant here as any city in the country, was forgotten for the white when the heroes of the 36th Infantry and 317th Supply Train just from France, paraded through the principal streets of the city. Thousands of white people cheered the boys along the line of march, and to a visitor from Mars it would have appeared that here at last is Utopia "Jim Crow" trains to the South run out of the Grand Central Station in this city. Minister Attacked By Members BRIDGETOWN, N. J. Mar. 27.—Rev. John Presbyter, who is conducting revival services here at the A. M. E. church, was attacked by some members of the congregation, as he was leaving the building, because of his frank speaking with reference to worldly amusements.

M. C. A. The opening of the doors of the Pine Street Department, St. Louis Young Men's Christian Association, during the present week marks a new epoch in the history making of the Negro race in this country. Never before has such a large sum of money ($50,000.00) been pledged, raised and actually turned over to the treasury of such an institution. Notwithstanding the fact that other cities have similar buildings, for the men and boys, St. Louis has outstripped them all in raising the real cash. St. Louisans are to be congratulated upon their splendid record; a record to be proud of. It is the people's building and a monument to the race. Some of the outstanding features of this movement were: first of all, the $25,000 offered by Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago contingent upon $75,000 being raised by local Associations of any city, that their Negro men and boys might have a building equipped fully for the development to the highest possibilities; then the large gift of $5,000.00 from Mr. and Mrs. Malone, proprietors of Poro College, which was the most inspiring and really put the "peep" into the campaign; then the three $1,000 gifts from Dr. Wm. L. Perry, Physican and Minister, Prof. Frank L. Williams, Principal Sumner High School, and Mr. W. C. Gordon, Undertaker. These gifts were special features of the campaign when the $50,000 were pledged. Of course, everybody who made a pledge and paid the same did their full duty. Thus we all are to be congratulated. The days of labor and co-operation on the part of the workers and the campaign committee have left a most fraternal spirit among men. Perhaps no other work could have done so much for a community. Dedicating such a building to the men and boys of this city is a rich heritage which generations to come will enjoy. St. Louis has set the page.

The coming municipal election which will take place in this city April 1st, will be of more importance than a passing notice. The Democrats are doing their "damnedest" to elect the President of the Board of Aldermen. The President of the Board of Aldermen is the next highest city official to the Mayor and is really at the head of the law making body of the city. In the absence, by sickness, or death of the Mayor, the President of the Board of Aldermen becomes the head of the city government. Should Mr. Garrison become President of the Board of Aldermen, while the Democrats are in their desperate condition, God alone knows what they will do, or undertake, to wrest the city government from the Republican Party. The Negro is vitally interested in the defeat of Flint Garrison, the democratic candidate, for they know what it will mean to have Democrats at the head of all the city departments. For that reason you should go to the polls next Tuesday, early, and vote the straight Republican Ticket and don't scratch.

The light scourge whi It seems that the representatives of the various nations who are now attending at the Peace Table are depending upon the strength of their respective armies and the number of men available to enforce their claims, as to what they will write in the League's Constitution. The spirit which should dominate the League has never been in the hearts of the most of envoys, because they are not willing to give every man a square deal. It has been claimed by many that the hand of God was in this war, and that the triumph over the Prussian armies was a victory for right and justice. But who is wise enough to forecast what the ultimate outcome is going to be. The light scourge which cost civilization their best in men and treasure is but a warning. Who knows but that the signing of the Armistice was but to give men who are in power a chance to repent? Yet, blindly they are boasting that victory was the result of their strong armies. Yes, we believe that it was in the providence of God to trouble the minds of men and set belligerents at war, and we believe it was his kind providence to temporarily stop the war to give men another chance to recognize the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. For He has of one blood created all men to dwell upon the earth. SUNDAY BAND CONCERT BY SIMMS' CONCERT BAND Sunday, April 6, 3:30 p. m. At Poro College Auditorium Admission: Adults 25c, Children 15c IN MEMORIAM The Late Pro!. R. PROF. ROMEO ALLEN WEST, A. M. The Late Pro!. Romeo West, A. M. Sacred to the memory of our beloved Romeo who was shot by the hand of a cruel enemy, March 29, 1918. Hale and hearty, in the prime of manhood, handsome, big-hearted, brainy bender and loving, a born leader with unusual constructive ability; you had wonderful possibilities and opportunities awaiting you. You were twenty-five years ahead of your time and you were unfortunate in being born in a section of the country and among a class of people who could not appreciate you. Yet the history at Lincoln Institute at any time would be incomplete without an account of your matchless athletic prowess, your incomparable business ability and your perfect loyalty to the school and all its interests. You made mistakes and you made many enemies. All men who have initiative, who dream dreams and see Big Day-For Knights of Pythias Thirty Ninth Anniversary Celebration of the Knights of Pythlias and Courts of Calanthe. By J. C. Staten. On Sunday afternoon, March 23rd, 1919, the gentle Vernal Zephyr bore to the ears of many pedestrians within the confines of Belle, Ladee, Leffingwell and Grand avenues sweet strains of music. The attention thus suddenly arrested, the mind began a systematic search for the corresponding cause of so great an effect which revealed, a most spectacular parade of Knights of Pythias marching with solemn tread under the captivating strains of music furnished by First Renaissance Band. The Uniform Rank headed by Gen. W. H. W. Hutter, formed a picturesque foreground. All proceeded to the First Baptist Church of the Metropolis of our great commonwealth, and as many as could secure entrance were admitted and several seated, while seating capacity was taxed to overflowing, despite the fact that the Colored Y. M. C. A. of St. Louis, one of the greatest organizations for the general uplift of our people entered upon the dedication of their splendid new structure on the same day. A large and appreciative audience listened to a well planned and carefully executed programme. Grand Cancellor A. W. Lloyd, in a new well chosen words paid a glowing tribute to the state of the order whose growth has been phenomenal and he called attention to the fact that no church building is large enough to accommodate the many persons enrolled under our banner, to say nothing of our many anxious well wishers and spectators. He therefore suggested that it should be carefully considered before next annual gathering and arrangements made to secure a building that will do justice to the occasion. He further said the Colseum in his judgement would be the proper place for the gathering one year hence, as we are in serious need of more space and more precariens. He was highly elated over the present condition and future prospects. W. C. Sister Bertha T. Buckner, in her usual captivating style, upheld the Banner of the Grand Court of Calanthe, did not fail to let the brethren know that we are all working for one common end—the betterment of mankind. In the midst of the rendition of the excellent programme, religious fervor became so intense that it seemed a revival had supplanted the orinary exercise. However, many expressed themselves as being spiritually edified and "it is good for us, Lord to be here." A purse of $105. in round numbers, was turned over to Dr. O. C. Maxwell, and his beloved flowers, who in his characteristic style replete with rhetorical figures and in no uncertain tones expressed the gratitude of himself and flock for such a beneficient gift. I feel as the poet who wrote, "America For Me." Indeed I am glad. Indeed I am glad, Yes, very glad and thankful as can be, As grand an order, as on earth, Will help make history. From cruel fight, Take God your light, Let peace your motto be, Our laws are just, In God we trust, The Knights and O. O. C. omeo West, A. M. visions, all who have ideals and hate injustice, have bitter enemies and severe critics. But your host of friends who knew you beat and loved you most miss you more than they can express. Paraphrasing a stanza from Kiplings' "Great Heart," I wish to say that "In purpose unsparing, In action no less, The labors he praised, He would seek and profess, Through travail and battle, At hazard and pain. And our world is none the braver Since Romeo was slain." From your friend. B. F. ALLEN. IN MEMORIAM. In affectionate memory of my only son, Romeo Allen West, who departed this life March 29th, 1918.

HAMPTON, Va., March 27.—An unusually strong movement has been placed on foot hare to encourage a large migration of Golored people to Africa, and especially Liberia, for the purpose of promoting true democracy in the rich and undeveloped "Lark Continent." Rev. Dr. H. B. Casell, president of the college of Liberia, stated in an address at Hampton Institute that "God places a duty upon you Afro-Americans to whom He has given these wonderful oppoun tites, to go into Africa and build Africa up and establish there a democracy in religion, in, sociology, in politics and prove Liberia to be the open door to democracy and opportunity." $50.000 Gems Under NEW YORK, Mar. 27.

Lady Demonstrator Of New Hose Fastner Causes A Near Riot OAKLAND, Cal., Mar. 27.—Promptly at noon, a dainty young woman stepped into the front window, of a downtown department store and began to demonstrate a new device to hold up women's stockings. Several things happened immediately thereafter. Fifty men packed the sidewalk in front of the window; a horse dragged a wagon into an automobile trying to get a view; two small boys climbed a trolley pole and peered over the heads of the rest; automobiles halted, street cars stopped, and a call for a policeman was sent in. A policeman was finally found with his nose pressed against the window. Not a woman saw the demonstration. 321-323 N. JEFFERSON We loan money on all articles of value.
