"To Accord the Negro His Political, Educational and Religious Privileges Is the Sacred Constitutional Duty of the American People," Says Stockton, Calif., Record. By Associated Negro Press STOCKTON, Calif., June 5-12, speaking editorially on "The Demands of the Negro," and going into detail concerning the achievements of the Race, The Stockton Record, white daily, states that the Colored people of America are 'taking no more than should be accorded them if we are at all really shere in what we are applauding in President Wilmo and other leaders of 'national and world thought in their efforts to establish and perpetuate democracy." Concerning—the much talked of minority of "social equality" The Record says: "The most vexation element of the entire Negro race problem seems to be the ghost of social equality which bobs up every time the word Negro is mentioned. This, however, is an issue by itself. Social equality is no more a matter of legislation than is intellectual equality. To accord the Negro his political, educational and religious duty the sacred constitutional duty of the Negro, does not involve the question of social relationship. One is not a social equal because he is a white man. Taste, culture, affinity and environment are things that determine social equality. If either the Negro or the white man perfects to accord to his own race superiority and priority that is his privilege, so long as he does not interfere with the right accorded to others by the constitution."

Wilson, a member of this city, who is greatly insurgent "The new organization is for the benefit of Negro soldiers and sailors and of all members of the Negro Race," said Rev. Wilson. "It is of Negroes, and for Negroes, and is unbought and unbuyable. "There is no connection whatever with the Sons of Democracy or other white organization of veterans at the present time although the organization is not a white service and an extra service the Sons of Democracy and other organizations perform for the white veterans." "Possibly at some future time the mutual interests of the organizations will lead to an alliance, but there is nothing definite along this line at present." Otis B. Duocan Commissioned Colonel and J.

COLORED MAN PUTS $12,000 IN BONDS BRENHAM Ten, June 5 —Something for the "human interest" to think about has been brought light as a weapon. Violet B. Washington Dillard's properous farmer of Washington County, purchased $6,000 worth of victory bonds. His entire holding of Liberty bonds amounts to $13,500. Besides buying heavily himself, he spent considerable of his time encouraging others to buy bonds. One of our citizens remarked with a significant expression in his eye: "This is a pretty patriotic axiom to show in a white man's country." Then he aided with a genuine Southern emphasis. "The people who talk that way believe us; always miss when it comes to backing the country up with their money and their lives." MOB BOOMERANG CAUSE OF WORRY CHICAGO, June 5—With the recent riot at Yale College, New Haven, Conn., between students and soldiers and the lynching of a white man in Missouri, Jay Lynch, there is a new awakening on the subject of mobs and riots. In the New Haven case, one man was shot and several severely wounded otherwise, the cause being the order that certain students had made curring remarks to returned soldiers. One of the leaders remarked on the subject: "It is necessary for this government of ours to take some radical action against riots and mob violence, but it is expecting a great deal of any American soldier to have him remain quiet and passive when he is ridiculed by slackers, while he bared his breast to German cannon." Jay Lynch was accused of murder, and he was tried and sentenced. Twice while men broke into the judge's private room, Jay Lynch out from the presence of his wife, baby and other relatives and lynched him in the presence of a great crowd of people.

Published In The Interset Of Colored People Before a crowded house, last Monday night at St. James Church, Dr. William T. Verson, former Registrar United States Treasurer, delivered his famous address, "The Negro and World Wide Democracy." Dr. Vernon told his audience that the time has come when we cannot afford to be silent or indifferent on the things that so deeply concern our welfare. "The fight is on," said the speaker, "and oure is a righteous cause. No man is defeated unless he himself acknowledges his defeat. In these times, it requires men, true men, as leaders of our race, men with a vision. We must support true leaders of our race. I have no patience with those who tell us to wait. In an amused of the white people selecting us a new Moses every two or three years. We want a Joshua, a fighter, to lead us out of the wilderness." Dr. Vernon gave a brief review of the rise and fall of nations for two thousand years and predicted that there shall be no permanent peace until men recognized the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. The program was under the auspices of the Men's Guild of St. James A. M. E. Church. Dr. Vernon departed for Wilberforce following the close of his address to attend the board meeting of the school.

PENSACOLA, Fla., June 5 — The Grand Lodge of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, in session here went on record protesting against the report that the Race in this State is embracing Bolshevism. The report is called "malicious slanders." It far ignores that the patriotic responses of our people are all part of our country to join this army to make the world safe for democracy and the liberal response of the Colored people of Florida in subscribing over one million dollars to purchase Victory Bonds, is a complete refutation of the slanders, and is indisputable evidence of the loyalty of our people to this great country of which we are justly proud. Reading citizen who asked that his names be not used resurrected: "Those resolutions sound good, and they are true, but acts such as the Florida legislature refusing to hear a petition from us, is enough to make us many things." STILL BOMBING COLORED HOMES STILL BOMBING COLORED HOMES By Associated Negro Press. PHICAGO, June 5.—Bomb workers are the second work this city, and, for the second time in its residence, have bombed the beautiful residence of Mrs. Gertrude Harrison. 4807 Grand Boulevard, one of the exclusive sections of Chicago. Mrs Harrison and her family are among Chirago's most highly respected people, and the infamous acts have aroused the indignation of the entire populace. It is claimed by some that neighbors planned the bombing. It is difficult to explain why the perpetrators of these all too many bombing parties are not run down by police and brought to justice. It is hard to believe that they may continue until the parties' people is exhausted and there will be one of the most serious riots the city has known. The following full text of the Anti-lynching bill introduced in the United States House of Representatives by Congressman L. C. Dyer of St Louis, Missouri. It provides that anyone who participates in a lynchry shall be liable to prosecution for injury in any district court of the United States; that a county in which a lynchry occurs shall be penalized from any county to go to the dependents of the person put to death and that the state or municipal officers who fail to use their efforts to prevent a lynchry, who neglect to prosecute lynchers or who permit mobs to take prisoners from their custody shall be subject to Federal prosecution.

COMMITTEES TO INVESTIGATE THE HOSPITAL RUMORS Interest in the City Hospital No. 2, or Colored Hospital, which will be opened in the near future, has grown considerably since the publication The Argus of the understanding among Colored physicians that they would not be given positions on the staff originally believed. At a meeting of Baptist Ministers' Alliance, Monday, a committee was appointed to investigate the matter. Several ministers, who are members of the Interdenominational Alliance went to the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday for the same purpose, but not enough assembled at one time to take action. At a meeting of the Medical Forum Tuesday night, President Haskell told the members that the head nurse and the assistant head nurse would be with him. He also stated that the house physician and surgeon would be Colored, although there will be no Colored physician on the senior staff because "we have no who are prepared," and the Colored physicians will form a junior staff. The following statement was received by The Argus this week: This is to certify that we as Graduate Nurses, affirm the statement made in the St. Louis Argus, and are should ready for any interview to that effect.

The heating apparture in the gymnasium building of the Wheatley Branch has been impaired since our steam heating boiler has cracked from the back. It will, accordingly, be needed to install a new boiler before winter. At this time it can be done cheaper than fater heating. Although the Y. M. C. A. annual finance campaign will not take place until fall, we must raise $1,000 for the new boiler at once. The boiler committee is alive and working Mrs. Gregory Davis, the chairman, is determined that the Y. W. C. A. girls may enter after because of an inadequate furnace. Friends are asked to contribute towards the $1,000 necessary at once for installing the boiler. A number of gentlemen have already signified their willingness to help. Members of Summer Lodge No. 50 of the Knight of Pythaon donated $5.10 for the boiler. The Lodge and St. Louis Lodge has also捐出 checks. Other workers on the boiler committee are Miss Annie K. Russel, Mrs. Luther McBride. We need more workers and more friends who will contribute to the boiler fund. The gymnasium of the Y. W. C. A. is one of the most important departments. We do want the building ware made so that our girls may have a place to enjoy proper recreation. Let every friend of the girls in St. Louis do his bit. / CHURCHES BQ, Se aS Ne tin GATES & MANUEL ..Undertakers...

June 1 —Employees of the city street railway here have recently manifested little interest in the city ordinance which provides for the separation of Colored and white passengers in the street cars. Many of the employees are returned soldiers, and they have demonstrated a new spirit of democracy. However, there have been so many complaints coming in to the railway office, that the Gen. Sup. R. M. Harding, and the trainmaster, J. C. Chandler, jointly issued a statement to the employees, setting forth the ordinance and warning them that it must be obeyed.

By Associated Negro Press NEW YORK. June 6.-Judging by the arrangements which are now being made by the officers of the National Association of Headwaters, the annual convention of the association this year, which will be held at the national headquarters, 436 Lenox Ave. New York City on Tuesday June 10, promises to be by far the largest and most interesting session ever held. Because of the conditions growing out of the -war the profession or calling of headwaters has developed to such an extent and has arisen to such a point of dignity, that President J. T. Lee, Secretary B. C. Walker together with Vice president W. T. White are putting forth every energy to have the members of the Association out in force at the annual meeting. The principal thing will be the consideration of of constructive plans which Vice-president White, general manager of the association, has outlined and the safeguarding of the standard of dignity which the profession has acquired, taking advantage of the unusual opportunities now offered the members, and adoption of a plan for a greater spirit of fraternism. GET CERTIFICATES OF MERIT By Associated Neeru Press. TOPEKA, Kans, June 5.—A rather novel method of recognition has been adopted by the industrial institute here, in deciding to award "Certificates of Merit" to colored men of the state who are making marked contributions to the life of the state. These certificates this year will given at this commencement exercises. Those receiving same are: W. W. Buckner, Topeka, for work in the mechanical arts; John W. Rogers, Ottowa, and H. W. Boll, Okalosha, both unusually successful farmers. Senator Reed, democrat, of Missouri, on the floor of the United States Senate, in an address opposing the "League of Nations" declared that his chief opposition to the League, as sorry as he was to admit, comes from the fact that the way the preliminary organization is constituted, the "white peoples of the world will have less representation than the Colored peoples." The cat is at last out of the bag. For some time the clawing and mewing of the cat has been heard, but he is out now, head, tail, foot and fur. At the bottom of the whole scheme of "world wide democracy" has been the underscored word "white." Upon this basis, the whole plan is, sooner or later, bound to fail. The United States, England, France and Italy, combined against Japan on the "race equality" proposition. If the league is to be world wide, and there must be considered to subject of color, there is no plan or scheme, by which the whites can dominate in numbers, for the Colored peoples of the entire world—black, brown and yellow, outnumber the whites three to one. The fate of the whites lies ultimately in the hands of the Colored people, for with numbers they are getting intelligence and wealth, and with this combination the world must move forward to a plane of justice. Universal Housing The subject of "Housing the People" has become one of the big things of the day. Not only in metropolitan centers, where construction has been eliminated on account of the war, but in the smaller communities as well, there is an unprecedented demand for better housing conditions. The United States government with unusual despatch, took a hand in the war time problem, and the situation is now so critical that it is believed the federal government will take an even liveller post-war part, as well as the various states and municipal governments. Playing the World Old Game Politics, without a doubt, had its beginning with Cain and Abel. Cain slew Abel, as politicians now seek to slay each other, because Abel seemed to be the more favored. Cain had doubtless used all the subtle means known to his hypocritical life, to get on the good side of Grandpa Adam, and when he saw that he had failed, he resorted to foul play, even as present day politicians. For the next year and a half, the greatest "World Series" of the game ever known, or conceived by human mind, will be played. As between the two great parties, Republican and Democrat, their star players have been for quite some time on the training grounds. That they all are getting into form, some can gainay. There is a disturbing element known variously as Socialists, Anarchists, Bolsheviks, I. W. W., Labor and dreamers, that give great concern to the leaders and managers of the old-time regular players of the game. In the confusion of conditions, the 15,000,000 Colored people of America are most concerned in progressive results, unqualified justice and full citizenship. There is a peculiar detriment to all themselves with the party or group that will vouchsafe most for the things demanded. The unrest within this Colored contingent is not manifesting itself in violence, to any extent, but it is richly bitter against hypocrisy, and all the vile kindred things that have helped to dwarf the full privileges and growth of manhood and womanhood: SIAMESE ASKS TRANSFER FROM NEGRO REGIMENT OMOHA, Neb. May 28.-Leo DVIDIO, the cavalryman of the Presidio military reservation, San Francisco, who on May 15 was assaulted by 4 Negro comrades of the Ninth Cavalry replacement attackent whose tre, he claims was aroused when he, DVIDIO secured a transfer to a white replacement unit upon the grounds that he was a Siamese and of Aryan descent; enlisted April 18 in Omaha, Neb. for service in the Phillipines.

Subscription $1.50 One Year Typhoon Cooling Fans Installed at Booker Washington Theatre A THEATRES TIM MOORE SCORES HIT IN "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" PLAYING ALONE Other Good Acts at Booker Washington. Tim and Gertle Moore are creating a storm of laughter and applause at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. Mrs. Moore only takes part in the first half of the act which consists of humorous prevarications, songs and dances. Tim finishes with a cynical comedy burlesque on "Uncle Tom's Cabin." He plays all the leading characters, except the 'angel, deserving from heaven,' which is uniquely done by a sub. Tim uses a white makeup on one side and a cork on the other side of his face to represent the white and Colored characters in the story. He keeps the audience roaring until the "death scene" at the end. Gant and Perkins, the sarcastic female duo, have an act made up of comedy cross-fire and popular songs. They create quite a ripple of merriment and win applause. Malloy and Harkum, two men, have an number of songs, metodiously remixed, and a squabble conversation that goes good. The act has plenty of comedy and pleases well. A short reel of Jack Johnson, training in Old Mexico, is very good; has the punch and gets a generous hand. Bob Russell Stock Company Coming Next Week. Bob Russell's Twentieth Century Players will come to the Booker Wash- hartton Theatre next Monday, for a week's engagement, and the patrons are assured a real up-to-date crack-a-jack show. This famous producer of short plays has no pier on the vaudeville stage. His company of ten stars, which will be seen in musical comedy most week are picked for their ability and character performers and should score a big hit. Will Be Given as the Pendleton Thursday day and Friday. Thursday Will Be for Benefit of St. Paul Church. Who and What Is God? Does He exist upon man afflictions as well as blemishes? Paul Perry's faith in the Orthodox God was blasted when his young wife died, and he went in search of the true God and sank to the depths of degradation. How his own child led him into the light of truth is told in a drama of pathos and humor, thrills and climaxes that stir the deepest emotions. A beautiful story of the power of love over hate, and the simple faith of a child that overcame fear and unbelief. Don't miss this wizard-like play, first time shown at any Coloured house. "A Romance of Happy Valley." David W. Griffith's production of impressive and vivid climaxes, "A Romance of Happy Valley," will be shown at the Pendleton this Sunday and Monday. The wrongs visited upon the stranger even by those kind, honest and considerate towards those they know, have afforded abundant material for the dramatist, but in the hands of Mr. Griffith the situation has assumed a major effectiveness. It is doubtful if in all drama and literature there is a imputing with more suspense, more thrill and greater surprise than those anticipating the coming of the stranger the Happy Valley. Persons who are the considerate of strangers will never forget it, and after all, that about renaissance everyone, doesn't it? There are a thousand different sides to the any big city. Some know it only as an center of ravety and pleasure. Others know it as the breeding place of wealth and luxury. One can almost impress the stranger chicty by the tall buildings, another by the beauty and extent of its public parks, the perfection or opposite of its transportation system, etc. But every big city has a fascinating side that visitors who are strangers seldom see the underworld, with its picturesque claim, to them. Such an underworld of crooks and criminals has been made the setting of a Gladys Brookwell photoplay, "Bittails of a Big City" which will be shown at the Pendleton next Wednesday day.

The Smarter Set Company, headed by Waltney and Tutt, now playing at the idea, Grand and Finney, has the least production they have ever show in this city. Their sensational two-at musical comedy, entitled "Dariest Americans," is a big entertainment, full of real good comedy, excellent singing and artistic dancing. The plot is laid at Howard University and is complication afford much merrier as well as mystery.

In memory of Anna Rhodes, who departed this life June 2, 1918. Dear daughter thou has gone and left us. Never more thy face to see; But thy presence seemeth near us. When we sit and think of thee. Soft rays of the shining sun, Were traveling towards the west; We stood by you whose race was run, And saw you sink to rest. How hard it was to give you up, To see you drop and die; To drink the bitter, bitter cup. That broke love's sweetest tides. My precious darling baby dear, Poor mother's heart is sore; A mother heart pure undesired. Yearsas for those dear eyes. The saddest place on earth to us, The grave in which you lie; We long to see your precious smile, And those dear eyes. Farewell, dearest daughter, sweet. The dauntest of our hearts; Badly missed by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Ft Rhodes, 214 South Garrison.

Nabors, 1416 B. writes February 18, 1819, as follows: I was crippled with rheumatism before taking Prescription C-2223. A few weeks later the first bottle and before I finished the first bottle, I had an ache or pain. I have recommended Prescription C-2223 to several people and one of them has prescribed it to one of them. Prescription C-2223 was given by a successful specialist in his practice. The prescription produced such remarkably in the treatment of rheumatism lumbar pain back and similar conditions that its manufacture in a large way was necessary. Prescription C-2223 contains no opium, morphine or atropine, or habit forming drugs. Its use will not derange the stomach. If you are suffering from rheumatism or your drug is a druggist today, buy a $1.50 bottle of this old prescription ready prepared. If you are not satisfied with the relief obtained directions take back the bottles according to directions take back the bottles and you will get your money.

They are made to give good service. 2. They are guaranteed direct from the factory to you. 3. How can they guarantee the hose? Because nothing but the best of material go into these hose, and the material is carefully inspected by skillful inspectors and all defected or short strands are rejected and do not go into these hose. Don't think you can get just as good in the store. Why? Because they get their goods from the jobber or pick them up anywhther they can, and they are not guaranteed to them. How can the merchant guarantee them to you? Mamma's waterproof work apron, the very thing for laundresses; raincoats and many other things. Labor-saving cooking vessels.

You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinade-soap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleaner. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full names. Price is 25c each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price, and we will mail them to you direct.

SUPPORT THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL The Lynchling of a white man at Lamar. Baston County, Mo., last week by a mob of unmasked men in the broad-open-day-light, and to-date not a single arrest of the offenders has been reported, is a strong argument in favor of Mr. Dyer's Anti-Lynching Bill which was recently introduced in the United States Congress. The bill, to our mind is logical, reasonable and is clothed with all the necessary legal aspects to hit lynching a death blow. The officers of the law at Lamar have already expressed their doubts about securing indictments or convictions of any of the participants, notwithstanding the prosecuting attorney says he positively can identify at least nine of the ring leaders. Therefore it is readily seen that the only way to assure the punishment of persons of local communities who commit such crimes is for the Federal Authorities to take charge of the case. Lynchings by mob violence undermines the very foundation of our form of government. The white people have condoned it as a necessity to terrorize and intimidate the Negro. But L. C. Dyer, seeing or rather living ahead of his day, has warned the people of the nation of its danger. He has told them that Federal Supervision is the only way to adequately cope with the growing menace. States have said they are unable to check it, so the government of the United States owes to every citizen the full protection of the law. If the state fails, then the United states is responsible—support Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Weaklings for Offices. One of the strangest assurances that the mob has that it can act with immunity is that the offices of the law are of their kind, they are weaklings, they are worse than the mob; they have no regard for their oath; they, like Pilate, cash their hands and say "I am innocent, the blood be upon the people." True, they are as guiltless as Pilate, and every officer who allows a mob to take a prisoner from him should be immediately removed from office.

THIS GOVERNMENT NEEDS AN AWAKENING The simultaneous explosion of bombs and attacks on the lives of guardians of the law of this land a fort night ago, is another opper by which the nation should profit. Some of the opimists still say there are a few radicals who are responsible for the outrages and the people need not be alarmed. But this time, only "luck" saved the life of Attorney General Palmer, and he was called forth a young army of secret service men to hunt down the plotters who seek to overthrow this government. As to whether those bombs scared the powers that be out of their senses, or into their senses, we are not able to say just now, but one thing we do know, and that is the Attorney General seems to forget about State Rights or State Jurisdiction, and called all the powers of the government at once. He did not wait to hear what Southern or Northern Senators had to say. Even the leading daily newspapers North and South forgot all about "State Rights." This might be properly called "highway lynching." It is the same spirit that has unlawfully taken thousands of lives of America's best and most loyal citizens and Uncle Sam has not raised his hand or voice in protest. So it is quite natural to reason that contempt breeds contempt. These bombs are teaching this nation a lesson that it should have learned long ago, that is, the safety of the Nation is not secure until the rights of its most humble citizens are respected. It is claimed that it is the foreign element, those who are one citizen, those who have no desire to become citizens, nor speak our language, who are responsible for these high attempts at lynchings. If that is the case, we must confess that we have no regrets, nor have any tears to shed because they have abused the confidence and privileges thrust upon them by the people of this nation. The color of their skin has been accepted as "simon pure;" they have been given the advantages over a class of the most loyal citizens, in the shops, factories and all the scientific industries, as well as residence and accommodation as on railroads and hotel facilities. When we think of these things, we feel like we should have heard the sound of those bombs that had such telling effects upon the high officials of this country. We have noted with some interest that President Wilson as soon as he heard the news, immediately sent a message of regret to those threatened. We recall with anguish of soul, the cry of the twelve million colored Americans who have prayed and pleaded with Presidents and Congress for relief from oppression, murdering and burning only to receive a deaf ear, we remember that four hundred thousand of brave men took their lives in their hands, as a challenge for the common rights of American citizens, only to receive an answer "State Rights." But those bombs, those "infernal" machines, somehow have made the government forget State Rights and we find a young army of secret service men on the job scattered through all the States. This shows plainly what the government can do when interested. We shall watch this awakening.

RADICALISM From Wisconsin Weekly Blade We used to think that certain of our leading men who continually harped upon and protested against discrimination and injustice were entirely "too radical;" that they ought to go quickly and modestly about their own personal affairs and by the acquisition of property and education make themselves worthy of better treatment; that if they were denied the right to occupy property owned by them in a desirable neighborhood, they purchase property elsewhere and by their own acts improve that neighborhood. And there are lots of colored people who think that now. But we have long since changed our views upon the subject. We think differently now. We think differently now. We really doubt if it is possible to be too radical in ones opposition to race hatred, discrimination and injustice. Certainly no opposition that has failed to accomplish reforms in this respect can be too radical. And after all, what is opposition to existing order of things, but Radicalism? Can he who opposes present conditions of things be other than radical? Conservatism is the disposition to preserve what is established—satisfaction with existing customs, things and conditions. Conservatism is the executoiner of Progress. It obstructs reforms and restarts the spread of civilization. Radicalism is the herald of Progress, the handmaiden of Reform, a guide to civilization. It forced from the reluctant hands of King John at Runneymede Magna Charta; it broke the yoke of England and gave independence to the 13 colonies and to the world a great republic. It struck from the limbs of four million human beings the galling chains of slavery and made them the possessors of their own persons, the directors of their own destiny. Radicalism does things. Be sure your cause is just and be as radical as you can. You cannot be too radical in a righteous cause.

CHICAGO, June 5—In "The Victory Pageant" given at Quinn Chapel A M. E. Church this week, the people of Chicago witnessed the greatest production of the kind ever held here. There were more than 500 participants representing the various countries of the world, each trained perfectly to the manners and customs of the various people. After the professional, singing and dialogue of those representing each country, tableaux scenes were formed which for beauty of color and harmony of pose, outlaced anything previously witnessed by Chicagoans. The costuming was marvelous in beauty and color and detail, each country represented by queen, potentate and attendants, charming the audience by the excellence of taste. The mammoth production was given under the personal direction of Miss Pauline James Lee and Clarence E. Muse, director of the Chicago School of Dramatic Art. This institution, the only one of its kind in the country, is making an enviable reputation under the management of its director, Clarence E. Muse. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT.

A Word About Prices The transnational volume of our business brings us our merchandise at a substantial saving over what ordinary stores must pay at the factory. Likewise this large business cuts down our cost of operation and enables us to sell to you at a considerable saving. At times it amounts to hundreds of dollars on complete outfits. It is hard for many people to understand what fine furniture we sell without seeing it for themselves! The reasons we can sell for less are obvious. 1. We own our own building.. We don't have to pay high down-town rents. 2. We don't go in for a lot of extravagant, high-priced help. We let the goods and prices sell themselves. 3. We are satisfied with less profit because we want to build up the biggest furniture business in St. Louis. Terms of Payment Our prices are just the same, whether you pay cash or avail yourself of the privileges of our Easy Way-to-Pav Plan; that is, a small amount down at time of purchase and the balance in weekly or monthly amounts, as you can best spare the money.

Jacobs' Pharmacy Company, Manugeturra, Atlanta, Ga. Palmer's HITENER J. E. Mitchell Wine in Circuit Court. Judge Kimmel Hands Down Decision in the Case. Attorney Crittenden Clark Makes Able Plea for His Client. The American Woodman received another setback in its legal entanglements last Monday. The 40-man decision in the circuit bench was decided in favor of J. E. Mitchell, who brought suit against that organization to recover sick benefits that had been due him since February, 1912. The case was originally filed in a justice court and after delays, change of venue and excuses on the part of the order, Attorney Clark finally got them to trial in Justice Pifler's court where a judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff. An appeal was taken and W. C. Whits the supreme commander, secured the services of Prumburg and Russell, in addition to Attorney D. Bowles, to fight the case in order to avoid paying a just claim due one of its members. In turn, down at the trial that the business of the order was conducted on poor business basis, and that the officers failed in carrying out the bylaws of the order. After hearing all the evidence in the case Judge Kimmel rendered a decision in favor of Mr. Mitchell, together with attorney fees. Attorney Crittenden Clark represented Mr. Mitchell and made an able plea for his client, showing that the practice of the officers of the order was the only guide by which a just decision could be reached. This contention was sustained by the Judge who handed down the decision. The order is in bad repute among many former members who state that local operations are too much of a "one-man affair". Another suit is now pending in the Circuit Court against the court, Md. by Mrs. Sue Smith, Mrs. Smith also won her suit in justice court. D ARCY TO SPEAK AT BUSINESS LEAGUE MEET IN ST.

Pollock of Cheraw, formerly United States senator, in a commencement address at one of the colleges here, discussed a way to provide suffrage for the white women of the state, but eliminate the Colored woman.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 9—Five Thousand delegates attended the sessions of the National Conference of Social Workers here last week. Every seize of the Industrial and Economic Problems concerning the Negro was thoroughly discussed. One of the principal speakers was made by Eugene Kinkle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League. Mr. Jones brought out the fact that: Negroes are not usually welcomed in the highly organized trades; and when they do, through the favor of the circumstances, they are so-called scabs' of these trades. The unions have not accept them as members and on the other hand brand them as scabs for working at a lower wage. Colored men are told they are disliked because they are scabs and they organize and pass resolutions in the efforts to get' admission. into the unions for the Colored men. The National and International Councils inform us that there is no discrimination recognized in the constitutions of these great labor organizations but in the next breath admit the localities and the locals continue in their work of discrimination. Negroes are mainly engaged in the unskilled and semi-skilled trades and in domestic service which has always proved difficult of organization. Surely, the plight of the Negro working-man seems impossible but the Hand and unexpected forces are amusing and unexpected forces are appropriate to the Negro the opportunity he deserves and should have.

MOST OF POLITICAL INJUSTICES DUE TO DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEW ORLEANS, La. June 13.—A call has been issued for a meeting to be held at the Boquois Club, this city, June 16-17, which is regarded as the most significant ever made. The object of the conference is to take drastic and definite action on the political condition of the Negro in America. The houses have numerous hold in the elections, when held in the South have beclouded their true purpose. The callers of this conference, however, declare that the problems of injustice are largely political, and that the South is the place where the greatest infractions are made, and that the Democratic party is responsible for most of the troubles. That seems to be plain enough. The conference will sit its New Orleans office in an address to the country, and will arrange for a nation-wide convention to be held either in Indianapolis or St. Louis in August or September. It is proposed to have a woman's department, something new in the alignment of racial political activities. The committee acting for the national leaders who are interested in seeing the movement a success, are Walter L. Cohen, New Orleans; Robert R. Church, Memphis, Tenn.; and Roscoe Conkling Simmons, Chicago. Among those invited are: Wm. H. Lewis, Boston; James A. Cobb, Judge R. H. Terrell and Finley Wilson, Washington; Perry W. Howard, L. K. Atwood, Charles Banks, Geo C. Cranberry, D. W. Sherrod, Minisipi, Louis P. Anderson, Ewd. H. Wright, Robert S. Abbott, Chicago; Robert S. Abbott, New York; Henry L. Johnson, Benj Davia, Georgia; Dr. J. R. Levy, South Carolina; W. C. Houston D. C. Phillips, C. H. Turpin, Missouri; A J Perkins, J. B. Griggsy, C. A. Gilmore, C. F. Richardson, Texas; D. E.

NEW YORK PAPER PRAISES SUCCESS OF MME.WALKER Says "She Played the Game With True American Skill and Demonstrated that the Race May Rise to the Most Distinctive Heights of American Achievement. NEW YORK, June 11—The New York Evening Post declares that the last straw in the demonstration of the American's idea of success has been broken and wipe away by the late Madam Walker, who in business, played the game with true American skill Saves the Post. "What more American than a millionaire whose fortune was made by patent hair restorative? The Negro race has produced poe of note, composers, orators, a great educator, who also was a disgusted writer. But it itself the full stamp of Amercanism by producing in "Manam" Walker a woman who built up a great fortune on the formula for a scalp decoction. She was a pioneer in Negro population—though it is entitled she claimed ability to straighten hair her fortune is equivalent to one at least ten times as great made by sellers of patent medicines among white it was accumulated in years, and its possessor knew how to live and enter tainly rich. Negroes have been slow to show the full benefits of white civilization by blossoming forth as oil kings, movie magnates and magnificent stock exchange gamblers. Mrs. Walker demonstrated that they may use the most distinctive features of American architecture. Men who would do nothing but amuse at what Colorids-Taylor composed, Paul Lawrence Dunbar wrote, or Booker Washington built will be all respect when the Negroes have their full quota of millionaires."

The ripe experience and broad acquaintancehips gained by Dr. Scott by reason of his long connection with Tuskegee Institute—international in its scope—will stand him in good stead in looking after the heavy responsibilities that will be entrusted to his keeping at this important center of civilization where real leaders of the Race are to be developed in the next post is afforded him a marked profession of usefulness to the whole people, and he has been the recipient since Tuesday of many messages of congratulation and goodwill from representative white An Colom frends all over the country.

Whte Citizens Raise Several Thousand Dollars To Rebuild Destroyed Property. By Associated Negro Press. MACON, Ga. June 12.—Five of our churches, two schools and a lodge hall were fired at almost the same hour in Putnam County, Middle Georgia, with indications pointing to concerted action by a party of white men who have revived what in days following the Civil War was known as the Ku Klux Klan. No clues to the incendaries have been found by officers, who claim to have made a thorough search. A clash between an unknown Negro and a white merchant at Dennis Stilton, near Easton, is said to have been the origin of the outbreak. The man asked for a bottle of soda as the merchant started to close his store and was refused. His attack was made some remarks concerning a local being courteous on a hot night, and was resented by the white. Companions of the Colored man took the quarrel. Before it ended, plats appeared, and many shots exchanged, no fatalities resulting. One of the churches destroyed was Ward Chapel, situated in a community where William H. Seward once taught school. The chapel was over one hundred years old. At a mass meeting of white people, $1,000 was raised as a reward for running down individuals who fired the buildings. A dozen people had been asked for of Gov. Bush. The whites have also raised several thousand dollars to help rebuild the burned buildings. The destruction of the property was condemned in mass meetings of both races. 806 Pioneer Regt. Decorated In France Regiment Took Part in Mouse-Argonne Offensive Expected Home Noon.
