ECOND VIEW OF CITY OF RUINS
Wonderful Change Has Come Over The Once "Forsaken" City, Tulsa. Will She Come Back? Is An Important Question Which Is Being Asked. The Building Program Is Going Up On Paper—Then What? Great Need Of Social Leadership.
By GEORGE W. BUCKNER
Special Representative Of The National Urban League
"Wonderful" is the spontaneous necism of anyone who visits Tulsa today after seeing the burned area immediately following the disaster there June first of last year. The former business section which consisted largely of Greenwood Avenue has been transformed from ragged, unsightly walls to modern structures where small thriving businesses of every kind are meeting the needs of the people. The former residential sections which resembled a soldier's camp-in war, having been covered with tents and improvised shacks, are now being rapidly replaced by more substantial homes. But very few of the tents furnished by the Red Cross now remain. So-much for a hasty maternal perspective.
Light of sentiment but upon sound business principles. Economic rehabilitation will mean the rebirth of Tulsa's Negro population and economic failure will mean death to the spirit of a deserving people, and shame to the whole race.
Lack of Social Leadership
In addition to the economic problems which these Negroes face, is another of equal importance—the lack of social leadership. Perhaps it is safe to say that there is no city in our country today which offers a greater opportunity for social service than Tulsa. Here eight or ten thousand Negroes live in an entirely segregated section. Their contact with the whites outside of business and domestic service relations has
What about the spirit now manifested by the Negroes? Let it be said unreservedly—that the spirit exhibited from the beginning by the Tulsa Negroes, on the whole should be the pride of the whole race, Under the most cruel and soul-crushing conditions they have simply, put their backs against the wall determined to die, if needs be in Tulsa.
One well-to-do man epitomized the general feeling when he said: "I told one of the Commissioners the other day when he asked me what I was going to do, that I was going to start over right here in Tulsa where it started before." Most of the people who had acquired any property at all had secured it there. It is but natural therefore that they fell bound to their home." With this feeling the Negroes have succeeded in 'squealchang the agitation about taking their land for industrial put-uses. They have succeeded in preventing the fire zone from being extended, and in winning in their cause many of the promfrem white people. Other problems which appear insolvable by Tulsa Negroes alone, however, are observed, and these strike to the very roots of their future progress.
Present Economic Status
In the first place, the wealth of the Negro of Tulsa has been grossly exaggerated. Much of the property which was controlled by Negroes was heavily mortgaged. Several Negroes each, however, owned from ten to twenty houses with a rental income ranging between $150 and $250 per month. These, for the most part, were of the small three room type. There was also one block of excellent homes ranging in values between $2,000 and $5,000 each owned largely by professional people. Most of this property was entirely wiped out. The majority of the business section has always been either heavily mortgaged or owned by whites. What the Negroes would have accomplished in another three years can only be estimated.
The new buildings now being erected by Negroes are going up "on paper." The interest rates are exorbitant and carpenters and brick-layers are charging $12.00 per day for their labor. There is not a new building put up by Negroes that is completed because the borrowed sum in each case has given out. Authentic sources, white and black, assert that the people simply will be forced to figure closely to meet their notes. Indeed, the next twelve months will be the real test of the economic strength of the Tulisa Negro'. It is commensurable, however, that the credit of many of the Negroes has already been re-established, for several homes and businesses have even been built on "open account."
Large Sums Not Provided
The public should also know that the large sums which certain national Negro organizations promised to give were nothing more, apparently, than skillfully calculated propaganda for additional members. Too much cannot be said, however, in praise of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which gathered and expanded more than $1,500 in relief and legal work. In this connection mention should also be made of the constructive piece of social service work done by the Red Cross, which secured and expended upwards of $100,000 in relief work. The mere pittance doled out by two Negro organizations to their individual members was indeed a shameful approach upon intelligent leadership. The lump sums, however small, should have been used constructively for instance, toward the building of houses, office buildings, or the establishment of businesses. Tulsa seriously need houses and business establishments and those that are in process of construction must be adequately financed. The "Brotherhood of Man" is indeed meaningless unless those people on a purely business basis are tided over this their most critical period.
thermore, the great majority of former home owners can now get credit at all, not even at the active rates. The ultimate result be the turning over of their land the white people. These people you see will then have experienced in a "burrowing out" and a "freeze-out." Because of the mild winter there has fortunately been no to suffering or need of extra food clothing. Thus, the economic sit

will mean the rebirth of Tulsa's Negro population and economic failure will mean death to the spirit of a deserving people, and shame to the whole race.
Lack of Social Leadership
In addition to the economic problems which these Negroes face, is another of equal importance—the lack of social leadership. Perhaps it is safe to say that there is no city in our country today which offers a greater opportunity for social service than Tulsa. Here eight or ten thousand Negroes live in an entirely segregated section. Their contact with the whites outside of business and domestic service relations has almost been nil, and they have seemed not only to be satisfied under such conditions, but to have capitalized their isolation using it as the stimulus to race pride and race elevation. The needs and accomplishments of the Pulaa Negro have not therefore been made known to the whites. In this connection it should be stated that much good was accomplished by the Colored Y. M. C. A. before it became inactive in the late summer for lowing the disaster. This work was supported by the colored people as only a few of the influential whites had become asquainted with the more intelligent Negroes.
In an effort to develop a social service program which would effectuate co-operative relations between the races, the National Urban League League dispatched me to Tulsa a few days after the riot and again in July. I am now writing enroute from Tulsa after a two weeks stay there where again I have been in touch with the leaders among both white and enforced groups for the purpose of establishing a branch of the Urban League Movement. I found that the leaders among the Negroes now realize that there must be in Tulsa a social service agency with strong leadership to develop the proper influence among the man and women and to build a better and more stable citizenship. This feeling has been strengthened by the fact that the lawless elements which formerly found Tulsa a convenient market to ply their trades, are fast disappearing and their places are rapidly being taken by stable Negro families coming largely from Texas.
Fortunately, there are many whites who also sense the situation among Negroes with intelligence and sympathy. They not only are imbued with sentiment, but are also filled with the desire to improve the whole community and therefore the lot of all who dwell in Tulsa. Here could be mentioned the names of several ministers, business men, lawyers, club women, and others—all prominent and intensely interested in better conditions among Negroes.
It now appears that an Urban League will be established in Tulsa within a short time and these leaders black and white, working together must provide some group recreational facilities for Negroes; must handle their industrial opportunities more intelligently; must see that the school-plants now little used offer evening classes for the working girls and women and for the men who are employed in industrial and household-occupations; must prevail upon the church to socialize its program and to insist upon a better trained Negro ministry; must remove ignorant Negro political leaders who are the prey of white ward-healers, both of whom are enemies of good citizenship; must see that justice in every respect is met out alike to all citizens, irrespective of color. In brief, such a movement must strive in the name of Christian statesmanship to help these people of remarkable hope in the face of adversity to become citizens in every sense of the word and to share equality with other racial groups all the joys as well as the sorrows of the city, thus uplifting the whole community life. of Tulsa.

Praises Race Women Before Twentieth Century Club; Referring To Irish, Catholic. Defends His Remark In Clear-cut Letter.
MAYOR QUINN OF BOSTON WANTS AN EXPLANATION
(By A. J. Smitherman. Eastern Correspondent)
RESPONDER BOSTON, Mass. 19—The remarks of Dr. Charles W. Eliot, President of Harvard University in enology of the late Miss Mariah L. Baldwin, before the Twentieth Century Club of this city recently, seems to have met with some criticism from the Irish-Catholic members of the School Committee of Cambridge, which sent a letter to Dr. Eliot asking an explanation. The letter was sent by Mayor Quinn of Cambridge at the request of the committee.
"In his speech before the Club, Dr. Eliot paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Miss Baldwin by saying that "because of her unusual ability she was kept in office as one of the Cambridge city schools in spite of the fact that a majority of the members of the School Committee are Irish-Catholics." He closed his remarks with "In all my career I have known only two women as charming as she." Following the publication of Dr. Eliot's speech in the Boston Transcript, the Committee met and noted exceptions to his allusion to Irish-Catholics and authorized the letter asking a full explanation. Dr. Eliot's reply in full follows:
"Dear Mr. Quinn:
"I haster to reply to your letter dated April 1, received by me this morning, touching a remark made by me at a meeting of March 17 of the League of Women For Community Service in the memory of the late Maria L. Baldwin, as quoted in the Boston Evening Transcript of March 18. In spite of the fact that there were many Irish-Catholics on the committee.
"In the first place I have no reason to doubt that I actually made that remark. Secondly, my motive in making it was that it seemed to me to exalt Miss Baldwin's character and attainments, that she was kept in office by a school committee which contained a strong majority of Irish-Catholics. Thirdly, I had no intentions of making any adverse criticisms of those Irish-Catholics—but on the contrary.
"It seemed to me and still seems to have been highly creditable to the Irish-Catholics on the school committee that they retained Muss Baldwin as principal of the Agassiz school It is a notorious fact that when Irish-Americans acquire the appointing power in any American community, town, city, county or a nation they tend strongly to use it in favor of their own race and their own religion. The Cambridge school committee, like that of Boston, has repeatedly illustrated this tendency, but all the more credit to them and to Miss Baldwin that they did not illustrate it in her case.
"This well recognized tendency seems to me more racial than religious, and I am therefore sorry that I added 'Catholic' to the word 'Irish'. The transformation of the Roman church in the United States and the increasing influence of its laymen are two of the good fruits of the American democracy.
"Respectfully and sincerely yours, (Signed) "CHARLES W. ELIOT."
SIX MONTHS ACTIVITIES
LOCAL. URBAN. LEAGUE
A review of the work of the Urban League during the first five months of the present fiscal year shows that it has covered a wider range of service to the public than ever before.
Its Neighborhood Department is now directing the activities of seven extension clubs and is assisting in the activities of three public school community centers.
Many individual cases as a result of this work naturally arise.
The Industrial Department has placed 590 men and women during this period of depression and has received several expressions of satisfaction from employees as to the type of help sent.
The Urban League Dental Clinic Department which is carried on in cooperation with the Board of Education has treated 1,306 school children this year. The salary of the dentist and the supplies are furnished entirely by the Urban League.
The Educational Department has furnished information on 'inter-racial work to Columbia and Joplin, Mo., and has been called upon by the State Board of Charities and Corrections for advice concerning county welfare work. This department has gathered information on several local problems and has brought the needs of Negroes to the attention of those who are in a position to effect improvements. The Urban League is indeed a clearing house and is called upon to solve many miscellaneous problems. It handles much work for the Tuber enlois Society, /Travelers' Aid, Social Service Department of the Provident Association, Barnes Hospital, Charities Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, and many other organizations. Very often eneglenes arise and the League has to furnish food, and temporary shelter until the identity of such unfortunate people has been established in other cities where they are clearly sent.)
WASHINGTON, April 18. — Bids for construction of the new hospital for Negro veterans at Tuskegee, AL, will be opened on May 1 it was announced here by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Clifford. The hospital, which is to cost $2,750,000 will have a capacity of 500 beds, of which 230 will be for tubercular patients and 270 for shell-shock cases. Actual work on the new Negro hospital, officials said, should be under way by the middle of May as the contracts for the mechanical equipment and building work on the institution should be left by May 10. Colored ex-service men protested against erecting the hospital in the South to no avail. They claimed they preferred having it in a state where they would not be forced to ride in "jim crow" cars in order to get there.

The solicitor tells the story, that when he approached Miss Hunter with a new paper was to be started in the City, she looked the sheet over and saw that it only had five columns, returned it to the solicitor and said: "I am going to give you this dollar to help you out, but I want to see a bigger paper than that, if having the name 'Argus' too." This was a little more than ten years ago. Miss Hunter at that time was a mere girl, but had faith in her race. With modest pride we report to Miss Hunter that the Argus is a "Bigger" paper through the loyal support which she and thousands like her have given it.

SUITS AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
SUITS AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
Ice Cream Parlor Proprietor Made Defendant In Damage Suit. Racial Discrimination Charged.
BOSTON, Mass., Mrs. Alice B Moore, of Hyannis has been sued by two women and three men who claim damages for discrimination against color. Mrs. Moore, formerly of Onset, is owner of a fancy ice cream and soda parlor. "More Shop," in Hyannis, she caters chiefly to summer visitors.
Claim Color Line
The Plaintiffs allege that last August they were discriminated against because of their color, when they entered Mrs. Moore's ice cream parlor. They assert that the statement was made by an employee "We don't serve colored people here."
The case was first heard in Barnstable District Court and the plaintiffs appealed against a verdict for Mrs. Moore. Damages of not less than $25 nor more than $300 apiece can be recovered with a verdict for the plaintiffs. J. S. R. Bourne of Boston represents the plaintiffs.
Women Were Refused
When the case was tried in district court allegations were made that two of the plaintiffs, Sadie M. Mitchell and S. Zilpha Letcher, entered Moore's Shop and sat at a table for more than an hour, without being waited upon. Then, they alleged, they protested and were informed that "colored people are not served here." That this statement was made was denied by Mrs. Moore in the District court... The case will probably center upon an attempt to prove or disprove it. After the experience of the two women, three men, said to be relatives, Thomas H. Green, Eugene Tobey and Clifford W. Edwards went to the shop and have also alleged that they were not served because of color.

Mob At Haynesville Orders Three-Fourths Of Negroes And Many Whites To Get Out Because Man Was Hit On Head By Holdup.
HAYNESVILLE, La., April 17. Persuaded to wait until the man they were after had been identified by his alleged victim, a mob variously estimated at 300 to 500, which surrounded the Haynesville jail last night bent on taking Ralph Coleman, suspect in the assault and robbery of Tony Pierce, left 100 of its members at the jail and started on a "cleaning" of Haynesville.
As the crowd weat about its self-appointed task it grew rapidly until by the time it started for Oil Center and Baucum Spur, with the announced intention of "cleaning" those off field settlements also, it had grown to 3000.
The mob visited a number of hotels and rooming houses, notifying certain men and women among their occupants to pack up and depart and then went to the Negro quarter, giving orders to about three-fourths of the population to leave. Doors and windows were smashed at several places, but none of the Negroes or others warned to leave were injured.
The assault from which the excitement developed occurred when Pierce was on his way home. He was strack on the head and robbed of $100. He was unconscious when found. A reward fund was raised by subscription.
The Klu Klux Klan is said to be responsible for the "clean up."
NIMOCKS ACQUITTED
Mr. John M. Nimocks, former president of the Ideal Investment Company, charged with Embezzlement, was acquitted by a jury in Judge William Killoren's court Wednesday night. The jury was out only fifteen minutes. The trial of the case consumed one day and one half a night. From the evidence presented, it appears that the Ideal Investment Company owes Mr. Nimocks about Six Thousand ($6000.00) Dollars. Mr. Nimocks was ally defended by S. E. Garner.
PROMINENTLY MENTIONED AS NEW PRES. LINCOLN U.
O.
PROF. JOHN HOPE
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. April 20—It has become generally known here during the past week, that Clement Richardson, president of Lincoln University will not be reelected by the Board to succeed himself as president for the ensuing term.
Prof. Richardson has been president of Lincoln Institute for four years, he having succeeded R. F. Allen, who was president of Lincoln about 25 years.
Among those "prominently mentioned as a successor of Prof. Richardson is President John Hope of Moorehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. It is said that most of the members of the Board of Curators are favorable, toward president Hope in preference to the many other applicants.
Members of the Board of Curators who were asked about Richardson's successor, stated that no action had been taken by the Board as yet, and added that they did not know who would be elected to head the Institution.
No Summer School
The Board of Curators has decided not to have any summer school at Lincoln this year owing to the urgent building program which contemplates much alterations and some new buildings.
It is thought that every possible facility be used in order to have things ready for the fall term of school.
WASHINGTON, April 11. — There is a rumor rife to the effect that certain white officials in subordinate positions in the Veterans' Bureau have tried to put Dr. Crossland, the Harding appointe from Missouri, in bad with the department.
It is said that papers have been signed with Crossland's name and given out is the public when they should have been regarded as the property of the Government.
It is said further that this was done while Dr. Crossland was absent on his trips of inspection through the country.

THE FLORIENT BOYS VS.
MOLLASSES STARS
The game opened with Molasses at the stick and small pox catching. Cigar was in the box with plenty of smoke. Horn played first base and Fiddle on second base, backed by Corn in the field, made it hot for the umpire. Apple who was rotten, Axe came to bat and chopped. Cigar let brick walk and sawdust filled the bases. Song made a hit, and twenty scored. Cigar went out and Baloon started to pitch, but went straight up. Then Cherry tried and went wild. Old be kept cool in the game until he was hit by a pitched ball, then you ought to have heard Ice Scream. Cabbage had a good head and kept quiet. Grass covered lots of ground and the crowd cheered when Spider caught a fly. Bread loafed on third base and bumped. Organ, who played a fast game, put out Lightning. In the fifth inning, Wind began to blow what he could do. Hammer began to knock and Trees began to leave. The way they roasted peanuts was a fright. Kuffs was put out for cutting first base and Song made a hit. Trombone made a slide and Meat was put out on the plate. There was a lot of batting in the game, but Soap cleaned up. The score was 1-0: Door said if he had pitched he would have shot them out.
So after the game attend the Florent Boyr Pay-Day Dança, April 26 because you can't go wrong. The grandest thing of the whole thing is to receive your pay, April 26, at Paradise Hall. Eligar Harris, Reporter.

THE RACE PROBLEM AS IS SEEN IN UNITED STATES
Struggles Of Black Folks Told By Dr. W. E. B. DuBois In An Interview On The Subject. Wants Race Judged On Its Merits, Rather Than The Color Of The Skin. Reproduced From The Dearborn Independent (Ford's Weekly) April 1 by FRED L. HOLMES
ARE YOU GUILTY?
So Many Times We Allow The Thing To Pass Until Tomorrow That We Should Do Today
PROCRASTINATION is the greatest crime committed against the human race.
DOUBT and FEAR are its twin sisters. Slowly but surely we are forming the habit of Procrastinating, of Doubting, of Fearing. Lord Bacon said, "Habit is the maxim of mankind that rules him in all his actions.
"I INTEND to take out Life Insurance," you say that, and you really mean to do so. Good intentions are good, but they are only thoughts. They have never provided a roof over a widow's head, nor provided bread, food, clothes or an education for orphan children.
THOUGHTS, put into action, always result in something. To put them off is to form the habit of procrastination which will eventually gain the mastery and rule you like the Czar that it is.
HENRY E. BRYANT, Contractor and Builder, 132 Chestnut Street, was a man who, after consideration, put his thoughts into action. He realized his value to his fellowman and to his family. He wanted his income to continue to his family and community for at least a few years, in the event he should meet an untimely death. A man of exemplary habits and in perfect health, death was the furthest thought from his mind. It was in this frame of mind that
A STANDARD LIFE AGENT FOUND HIM and suggested Life Insurance as a sure means of continuing his income. The suggestion was the father of the thought. Did Bryant procrastinate? No, he acted. The Medical Examination was made immediately following the application. "Perfect Risk," announced the examiner. Fly Thousand Dollar Policy approved by the Medical Board, issued and delivered on November the 17th. ONLY TEN DAYS passed between the issuance of that policy and November 17th. Walking out of his beautiful home on Chestnut Street to the West Hunter Street car line—a street car, a careless motorman and Henry E. Bryant—in the twinkling of an eye—met an accidental death.
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY'S PAY PROMPTLY. An Official of Standard Life looked after the funeral arrangements. The entire expenses were paid out of the Five Thousand Dollar Standard Life Check. His family is living under the same high standard he established during his life time.
YOU CAN STAND before the Bar of Your Own CONSCIENCE—the highest Trimalal on earth—and plead Not Guilty of the crime of procrastination. If you will do what Henry E. Bryant did. Do it by calling a Standard Life Agent not tomorrow, but TODAY.

THE RACE PROBLE
SEEN IN
Struggles Of Black Folks To
In An Interview On The
Judged On Its Merit
Color Of
Reproduced From The Dearborn In
by FRED I
"Solution of the real Negro problem in the United States is to be determined by the attitude and ideals on the part of the American whites. Do they, or do they not, believe that there can be a great republic with citizens of various races including the black race? If they so believe and that policy and attitude becomes fixed and recognized, the Negro problem, though difficult will find its solution."
William E. B. Duffs, probably the recognized educational leader of the colored race since the death of Booker T. Washington, gave this as his opinion. He was born just after the close of the Civil War at Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and is of Negro and French descent. He was educated at Fisk University, Tennessee; at Harvard, where special honors were given to him, and at the University of Berlin, Germany. He has devoted his life to a study of the race problem. There have been days of discouragement; times of humiliation. The first real shock of his life came when he discovered that he was within the Veil.
"I remember well when the shadow swept across me," said -Mr. DuBois in recounting 'this experience. "I was a little thing, away up in the hills of New England, where the dark Housutonic winds between Hoosuc and Taghankanick to the sea. In a wee wooden schoolhouse, something put it into the boys' and girls' heads to buy gorgeous visiting cards—ten cents a package—and exchange. The exchange was merry, till one girl a tull newcomer, refused my card—refused it peremptorily with a glance. Then it dawned upon me with a certis suid denness that I was different from the others; or like, mayhap in heart and life and longing, but shut out from their world by a vast vell. I had thereafter no desire to tear down that vell, to creep through; I held all beyond it in common contempt, and lived above it in a region of blue sky and great wandering shadows. That sky was bluest when I could beat my mates at examination time or beat them at a foot race. Alas, with the years all this fine contempt began to fade; for the worlds I longed for, and all their dazzling opportunities were theils, not mine. But they should not keep these prizes, I said; some, all. I would wrest from them. Just how I could do it I could never decide; by reading law, by healing the sick, by telling the
ARE YOU
wonderful tales that swam in my head—some way. With other black boys the strife was not so fiercely sunny; their youth shrank into tasteless swecophancy, or into silent hatred of the pale world about them and mocking distrust of everything white; or wasted itself in a bitter cry. Why did God make me an outcast and a stranger in mine own house? The shades of the prison house closed about us all; walls straight and stablern to the whitest, but relentlessly narrow, tall and unscaleable to sons of night who must plod darkly on in resignation or beat unavailing palms against the stone, or strendly, half hopelessly, watch the streak of blue above.
Surprising Advance in Thrift
In considering the Negro problem there are two viewpoints. First, there are those who believe that the emancipation of the Negro, the giving to him of equal rights and equal opportunities depend on what the Negro can accomplish. The second group takes the position that it doesn't make any difference what the race may accomplish, there are and must always be a part of the great race of mankind, "who are going to be dominated by the white races, if not forever at least for an indefinite length of time." It was to get his attitude as a leader of his race that I interviewed Mr. DuBois.
"How can the Negro problem be solved?" I asked.
"It is unsolvable except in two ways," replied Mr. DuBois. "First, the separation or the subjugation of the black race to a place of permanent servitude.
"Second, the judging of a race and a people on the merits of their accomplishments. If the people of the United States admit, and the major part of them do, that if you have intelligent and efficient human beings, a republic can be established despite the fact that some of these beings are of African descent and others of Spanish descent, then there comes the world wide problem of how you are going to make efficient citizens of that part of the population which is poor and ignorant, and disadvantaged, in many ways because of their past history and present surroundings. This is a difficult problem but no more difficult than the same problem with regard to other groups of mankind.
"The Negroes of the United States for instance are ignorant as a race, but they are not so ignorant as the peo-
The St. Louis Argus
ple of some European countries. They are poor, but a generation removed from slavery would naturally be poverty stricken. But the advance and savings in thrift and accumulation of property among the American Negroes in the last 25 years has been one of the astonishing records in modern days and it has been accomplished in the face of peonage and discrimination.
"The question of general social efficiency is largely a matter of experience and contact. In the last 20 years I have visited every state in the Union and I suppose there isn't a single large group of Negroes that I have not met. Of course sometimes, casually and only for a few hours, in other cases with long residence and intimate acquaintance. During the same time I have known fairly well, groups of white people throughout the United States and in England, France and Germany, I have not in my mind the slightest doubt but that the advance in efficiency in the knowledge and conception of modern civilized life has been as great, if not greater among American Negroes, than among any other group that I know of, and I do not see any reason why they should not in time become the equals of modern men.
SHERIFF'S SALE CLOSES
PHILADELPHIA HOSTELRY
Large Sums, Paid As "Commissions"
Was Contributing Cause of Failure.
Had One Hundred Rooms And Was
Center of Activities in The Quaker
City.
PHILADELPHIA, April 19—Hotel
Dale, Broad and Catherine streets,
one of the best colored hotels in the
United States with one hundred fin-
ally furnished rooms and a center of
activity for much of the social life of
the city is closed, creditors have taken
the furniture, maids, waitresses bell
boys and cooks are without work and
unpaid and $63.595 of stockholders
money is gone straight up.
Beresford, Gale, fiscal agent for the Hotel Dale Company, prominent investment broker and a stockholder in the defunct company, in a statement to the Argus representative, gave a clear history of the occurrences resulted in the failure. It began with a board of directors, according to Mr. Gale's statement, who engaged in an orgy of expense at the time when industrial conditions were booming and ended with a statement of the Sheriff's sale of March 6th, last, which was the beginning of the end of this anbittious colored business venture. The accountants statement of the financing of the company follows:
Total stock subscribed for. $141,052.00
Cash sales of common stock 6,236.20
Cash sales of preferred stock 6,143.85
Total cash sales ... ... ... 12,374.95
Subsequent payments on common and Preferred stock ... 51,221.58
Total cash received from all
sources..... $69,595.33
Less commission to stock sales-
men 10%..... 14,105.29
Net cash received during period
..... 49,490.43
Less commission to Fiscal Agent
(15% o total cash less sales-
men commission)..... 7,423.56
Total monies turned over to or
paid on account of the Hotel
Dale Company ..... 42,066.87
Jas. E. Howard, manager of the
Dale states that after the first ten
days of his connection with the company,
the gross receipts of the hotel
averaged $700.00 a week, showing a
good profit on business done, taking
case of 'all expenses and adding a little
to the fund for the payment of
creditors.
Charge and counter charge is flying thick and fast. Stockholders who have lost their money are blaming whoever was connected and who appears to still have something left; hotel help is blaming everybody; guests are yelling for a refund of advance room rent which they claim have been paid and the white public appears to be laying the whole blame, a bit gloatingly to the inability of colored folk to do big business.
To an impersonal observer, however and basing an opinion on documentary evidence submitted for perusal, the persons who appear mostly to blame are first the original extravagant board of directors and secondly the hundreds of people who subscribed for stock, promised to pay their subscriptions and then failed to meet the obligation when it came. Whoever is to blame, the Dale failure is a set back to colored big business.
CHICAGA, Ill., April 10—Mr. J. W. Spann, formerly with the Standard Life Insurance Co., has accepted a position with the Liberty Life Insurance Co., of Chicago as special representative for the states of Michigan and Illinois. The Liberty Life is an old Line Legal Reserve Life Insurance Co. and has the honor of being the only company to be admitted to the state of Michigan, that was not in operation one year before making application for admittance regardless of race.
When seen by an Argus representative in Chicago, Mr. Spann said, "The record already made during the first nine months of the Company has been operating excels all previous records, in that the Company is pushing the million mark up, the close of this month." He further said that he expects to excel in production this year more than any years previous, and when asked what did he base this statement on, his reply was "The attractive policies this Company is issuing and the wonderful reception it is receiving throughout each state, being the first old line Legal Reserve Life, Insurance Co., above, the Mason and Dixon line owned (and controlled

STARTLING FEATURES ABOUT
SIXTH SENSE
Second Installment by Ralph Rowlett
Every man who holds a gillometer of
hope in his heart, regardless of the
razmataz gyrations in our social funi-
ture, should be enormously interested
in Super-physicism; the problems,
powers, discoveries and possibilities
of the individual psychic self.
If you want to be somebody accomplish
that high and noble desire in life
or achieve the full measure of success
in the special field of endeavor for
which God has purposely fitted you;
then admit at the outset that around,
without and within you are enormous
forces which are neither employed or
appreciated.
Differentiating between: brain, thought and mind; we at once discover that the brain is only a physical organism. Mind is Spirit (in quantity a million times Bigger than air) with brain as the medium of expression and thought as its product. As we consciously recognize and embody
mind for noble purposes we automatically refine the cell structure of brain matter to a degree in which we are truly able to sense the finest stimuli from either exotic or exotic origin. Make this theory a working principal in your everyday life.
Heraldly comprises possibly ten per cent of your qualities; with the remaining ninety per cent being a slow metamorphoses of various attitudes—an adjustment to external influences, either condescens or non-conscious—and in part accounts for no two persons possessing exact qualities or appearances, even if born at the same inances, even if born at the same instant. Just here, is where we take a branch road to the sphere of Solar Mentality; a sister science of phychophysical Character Analysis. It follows then that:
The Sixth Sense finds expression thus the visual organism; and while you no doubt only feelly realize its existence, employing its powers with out masterful effectiveness, you may at least admit to yourself, that no sin

cere attempt has ever been made to fathom its subtle mysteries or interpret its engrossing language.
How well do you know yourself?
How well are you interpreting your aptitudes? your abilities? I say only in your own estimation which is quite likely tinged either with some form of exaggerated egotism or underestimated non-magnetic inaccurate self-subjection. About us is constantly a world of vision; but few see it however, prostituting one of our most phychic gifts by looking at things instead of seeing them. Only with the latter are we here interested. The first step toward developing your embryonic self-hood will be found in the following exercise:
Stand erect about three feet from mirror; relax to normal composure. Quirely assume these mental attitudes, and with the eyes try to tell yourself the feeling: Indifference; Sincerity; Hope; Surprise; Sympathy and Joy. Devote five minutes each day to this exercise adding to the list other emotions which suggest themselves. A little conscious effort will prepare you for the next lesson.
Winds of adversity cause weak vessels to flounder, but merely speed stamina vessels on their voyage.

LIBERTY CONGREGATIONAL
MISSION
Easter was a great day at the Liberty Mission. At both morning and evening services were large, periphrons of going people participating and its touring with the atmst attention and with manifest responsiveness. In the cermon of Rev. Hamilton, there was something vital to which the whole audience could respond. The pastor took as a text, "The Risen Lord" and the dulcimant Daughters were, that the cross and the grave were not the end of Christianity but became the means of a new and wider ministry. The disciples were given an indeestructible faith in a Living Christ and death is vanquished and that there is life eternal. Mrs. L. Lewis and Misses Melba Hall and Pauline Davis were received into the Congregational fellowship and with an air of zeal and reverence that displayed the keenness of discipleship. The Easter service was supplemented by a large pot containing a lily blooming in triples and upon one lung a note with this inscription. To the memory of L. M. Morrow, by Mrs. Morrow. The pastor said, in the thought of the perseverance of the saint, the love and faith which the late Mr. Morrow began in this church will, like this bloom in the consummation." The audience was richly blessed with a musical selection by Mr. B. Clark.
In the afternoon, the Sunday School rendered a splendid Easter program introducing in song and recitations many children of the neighborhood. A large bunny filled with delicious chocolate candies was presented to little Little Curtis for belonging to the larger offering. Dr. E. J. Davis and Miss Melba Hall cannot receive enough credit for the wonderful, wide awake mission school they have organized. Visit the Congregational Mission next Sunday at 1125 N.

PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST
Pleasant Green Baptist Church closed its 17th Annual Revival with an Easter Baptising in the River, where thousands witnessed the original plan that the New Testament bears record of. The pastor, officers and members wish to thank their many friends for their good services rendered and their liberal donations in making the Klagdom's work a success. There was a free Reception given to the converts Thursday night, April 20 All enjoyed themselves. It was the prayer of all that God spared them on their journey to heaven. The Sunday School with its never tired staff of officers and teachers gave to the Children, thirty dozen Easter Eggs, Sunday and each child seemed to be so happy. Mr. C. W. Dickson, the president, was all smiles when so many children were baptized. Sunday.
The B. Y. P. U., Miss Elaine Sythor, president, saw what it meant to teach the true principles of Baptist, when so many of the members of the B. Y. P. U. members came to Christ and were baptized Easter Sunday, and proved that they were loyal Baptist. They rendered a most excellent Easter program Sunday night under the leadership of Mrs. Adn Jones, the Junior Leader. Many strangers came to the city to witness the baptizing, among them were the brother-in-law of Rev. J. K. Parker, Mr. Jerry Everett and wife of McFarrin. Ark., Mrs. Sazannah Heywood of High Hill Missouri, a niece. Now the Revival is over; the members are turning their attention toward the church as they have just purchased a new carpet, and each member is asked to bring one dollar for this cause. Our church is too small to accommodate all of our members, so let us join in a personal rally to raise money for a new church house or larger quarters. As the Lord provides.
All converts who did not, get baptized Easter will be at the Church the first Sunday in May at 6:30 a.m. as we will baptize them that Sunday, and remember "He that lay holds to the Gospel plow and then goes back is not fit for the Kingdom." Don't let that be you. The Pleasant Green usher board rendered excellent service at the river Easter Sunday. W. M. Tennel president.

CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH
The Lord's Supper will be observed at Capernaal on Sunday morning after the regular services. The pastor will deliver the messages morning and night. The offering on Easter without any special effort was nearly one thousand dollars owing to the splendid new organization of the church membership into permanent 'Gruppe'. The various Groups are doing fine work in hunting up members and stimulating interest in them. Dr. Stevens will deliver on the first Sunday, in May a seremon in the morning to the whole church as grouped under their respective ban news. The Sunday school is doing excellent work and the B. Y. T* U is
taking on new life. Bafifth Sunday in April.
By W. E. Berry
The great revival is always on at Wayman, the end of each week brings to us souls that have grown tired of living out of the Ark of safety, confessing their sins and pledging their lives to Jesus, Converts Sunday morning 4. Total members joined 7. The Lord smiled on us through the beautiful sunshine of Easter morning and the church was filled almost to its seating capacity, the pastor read a portion of the 16th chapter of St. Mark the text. A message of Easter and Peter, chosen from the 7th verse and delivered in its usual brilliance was highly appreciated; by the very large congregation. Baptismal ceremonies immediately after preaching, baptized four. Remember June 22 and what it means to us. Lets rally together, in unity there is strength.
GEORGE R. SMITH COLLEGE
Sedalia, Mo.
Quite a improvement has been made in the oratorical ability of the student body this school year at George R. Smith College by means and as a result of the public chapel orations which each student took a part in. Another interesting and helpful feature is that a week one of the most advanced students selected by the Dean makes an intense study and presents to the student body in their regular chapel exercises a Summary of the most important race news each week. *** The first year class of the College made a splendid showing last week in their rhetoricals which were held in the newly seated and recently beautified chapel auditorium on Thursday evening. *** The commission exercises of George R. B. Hayes has been invited to attend the Lexington Conference which convenes in Covington Kentucky this week and to stop ever in Paris, Kentucky and deliver a lecture. *** The commencement exercises of George R. Smith College this year promises to be one of the best that has ever been held here. The Choruses are doing splendid work and are rehearsing daily the college orchestra, composed of twelve pieces adds greatly to the strength and volume of the chorus work. *** At the Thirty-six annual session of the Central Missouri Conference which met April 5 to 9 in St. Luke M.
