Published In The Interest Of Colored People WHITES RAID NEGRO'S HOME IN NEW YORK "I Am Going To Fight It Out To The End," Says Colored Postman Whom Whites Try To Drive From Home. NEW YORK, July 22.—A special grand jury, called by District Attorney Albert C. Fach of Richmond County, to question 15 whites subpoenaed on charges of damaging the property of Samuel Brown, a colored postal campainee, of 67 Fairview avenue, Castleton, West New Dragen, L. I., and attempting to frighten him and his family from their home, adjourned Tuesday without taking any action. Thursday, July 30, was set as the date for the resumption of the case. "A Matter of Principle" Brown, who has become the victim of a residential segregation design, following his refusal to sell his property in the exclusive Castleton Hill district to whites for less than $12,000, before the court adjourned declared: "It is now a matter of principle with me; I am going to fight it out to the end." Attack Home Several attacks have been made on Brown's home, the last one occurring at 3:30 o'clock last Friday morning. A number of white men hurled bricks through windows of the house, uprooted trees and destroyed flowers. Brown reported the affair to the district attorney, who called the special jury. White neighbors of Brown have admitted that they tried to induce him to move out of that neighborhood. Some of them said that Brown had aroused the resentment of the white residents by demanding an excessive price for his house when white people offered to buy it. H. M. Robertson, of the Robertson Development Company, which developed Castleton Hill, declared: Wanted To Stay "My company sold the property to a Mrs. Evans a few years ago for $3,500. If we had had any idea she wanted to re-sell we would have willingly bought it back with a good profit to her. "I was elected Chairman of a Citizen's Committee, that went to see Brown. I pointed out that he was the only colored man in a neighborhood which depended for its property values on its exclusiveness, and that in view of this we would pay him $9,300 for his property. Brown declined the offer." Brown paid $5,300 for the property in July, 1924, according to Robertson. He selected another offer of $10,000 for the Citizens' Committee. Robertson said that Brown, in refusing the second offer, asserted that he did not want to sell because he had bought the place for a permanent home and intended to settle down. Receives Threats Brown declared that he had received many threatening letters since the attempts to oust him began, many which were signed in underwritten with one of the letters, he declared; warned him that his wife, a school teacher, would be "shot by an ex-service man." If they did not move, "She will not be shot in the house but in the street while she is returning from work," the letter further stated. Postmaster Frank Foggins of Staten Island, denied a report that he had been asked to have Brown transferred to another postoffice. Policeman have been ordered to guard Brown's house, on which fire insurance has been cancelled a number of times. RESCUES THREE TRAPPED UNDER BLAZING MACHINE Poldrice A.

In an investigation of Higginbotham's case it was found that an arrangement existed between him and the sheriff of Leon County, whereby that officer received an allowance for each prisoner sent to the Dixie County lumber camp, and that "company hired Higginbotham as a "whipping boss" who used a heavy ash to whip logging convicts when Negroes were among those who felt the sting of Higginbotham's lash. As a result of Higginbotham's cruelty, the Florida Legislature abolished the lash as a means of disciplining state and county convicts in 1923. Higginbotham was tried on first degree murder, convicted of second degree and given 20 years in prison. He appealed to the Supreme Court and was released on a $10,000 bond.

NEW PHONE NUMBER CENTRAL 4620 LEON WILLIAMS CONVICTED OF MURDER,HANGED Declares Could Have Laid The Crime On Others And Escaped Death, But Preferred To Take His Medicine And Die Like A Man James Crump Also Pays The Death Penalty At Montgomery City, Mo. Last Friday morning at 6:17 o'clock Leon Williams was hanged until dead by the neck following his conviction of murder. It was a rather sad spectacle to see a young man just in the flower of life have to pay the extreme penalty of death for his wrong that could have easily been omitted. Williams was convicted of murder during a holdup of a saloon keeper. There were about 125 men who witnessed the hanging at the city jail who stood around the walls of the fourth floor, from where they watched the trap door, which was to soon be sprung open dropping Williams to his death. Makes Brief Talk Before going to his death, Williams made a brief statement saying that he was resigned to his fate. He said, "I am ready to go. I could have said others did it and saved myself, but, prefer to take my medicine and die like a man. I have nothing against anybody for God has forgiven me." He then shook hands with several bystanders bidding them farewell. On the top floor of the jail, when the black cap was put over his face, he still did not weaken but in a clear voice said, "Let me see and share hands one more with Charley." The request was granted. He chatted a few seconds with Dunn and then was placed upon the trap, and in a few minutes his body dangled fifteen feet below. Fifteen minutes later, the doctor Coroner Vitt announced him dead. A deputy cut the rope and Gates Undertakers took charge of the body. Charley Dunn referred to above is a Deputy Sheriff under Sheriff Schuler. It seemed providential that Dunn was selected to be with Williams during the "Death Watch" and his kindness and sympathy seemed to greatly endear him to the condemned man. Dunn is the first and only Negro Deputy assigned to a court room, and, as such handle prisoners to and from the city jail. Sheriff Anton Schuler, after the hanging said to report of the Arsene and glad that you are here. You see the reverence and order that has prevailed during the execution. You know I hate the occurrence, but it's my duty. Charley-Dunn has been with the condemned man ever since the "Death Watch" to see that he has everything I can give." Crump Hanged at Montgomery About the same time, James Crump was being hanged at Montgomery, also convicted of murder. Before his death, Crump made a public statement which was as follows: Montgomery City, Mo., July 17, 1925. To my friends, acquaintances and people of Mexico and Montgomery City: I, James Crump, standing here upon the scaffold, will in a few minutes be before the judgment seat of God to account for the deeds of my life, wish to make known to all concerned in this matter following facts: First: Though dying for the killing of Sheriff Blum, a thing I deeply and sincerely regret, I cannot convince myself that I am guilty of murder and that consequently I feel the penalty exacted is too severe. "Second: Though this be true it is now too late to mend it, and I want you to know, that I am trying to forgive all who have injured me in this case as perfectly as Christ has in the lord's rays taught us to forgive, and with reverence repeat His own words pronounced while hanging on the gibbet of the Cross; dying for our sins, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." "Third: My desire is that my death may obtain from God the grace of quenching the smoldering fire of race hatred and prejudice that may be smoldering in any hearts, so that as fellow citizens and brethren in Christ our races may live in peace, harmony and observance of the Golden Rule," (Signed) James Crump.

Overcrowding Facilities Spread of Social Diseases The National Anti-Strife League of Paris in its recent report states that overcrowding is rampant in certain sections of that city and that it may be viewed as the cause of social disintegration and the moral downfall of the family. The danger of proculty says the report naturally occurs when parents and children sleep in the same room and elder and younger brothers—and very often brothers and sisters sleep in the same bed." The housing difficulties in Germany according to an abstract in "Social Pathology"—issued by the United States Public Health Service, have much to do with the increase of venereal diseases, particularly among children. Due to overcrowding entire families have been infected, and a coadjunctiality of moral standards has been found. One report states that a family of nine slept in one room, two married couples being among the number. An editorial in "National Health," published in London, states that "We are not likely to attain a true measure of success in the control of venereal diseases until we have arrived at a solution of the housing difficulty." But the incubators of lewdness and its frequent associates—gonorrhea and syphilis—are by no means limited to the lower strata of society. Prolactin is very diffusive, and one woman more suitable as well as productive. HEAR CHAS. CREATH SUNDAY, JULY 26 ance is the effort to combat venereal diseases by both mental and physical hygiene. The two leading British Societies for the prevention of these diseases are now in accord as to the efficiency of personal cleanliness and disinfection, in the prevention of venereal infection. Widespread education by publicity regarding the great scourge of venereal diseases as they affect the child, the family and the state, and the conditions influencing their spread and prevention is very productive of good results and is universally recognized as essential health work. The Washington Times of June 29th gives publicly editorial "The Treatment of Doofness," and points out the causative relation of syphilis to certain types of doofness. I. C. Program Is A Success Before a gathering of about 300 persons, Sunday July 19, at Central Baptist church, the intercollegiate Club conducted a Nively discussion of the question: "Is the United States justified in forcing its standards of civilization on the rest of the world?" in the first of a series of educational meetings that the club will foster during the summer.

Some sound advice was given the men as to grasping their opportunities and making the best of them. MARRIAGE LICENSES At St. Louis Phillip Enge, Lucia Mac Holcomb. Ed Nickens, Grace Todd.

URBAN LEAGUE SURE TO EXPAND, SAYS JONES NEW YORK July 22—Euregan Kinnicle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, returned to the home office last week after what he pronounced a success, ful tour on an enlargement and extension program, which took him a distance of 7500 miles. At Denver, Mr. Jones attended the National Conference of Social Workers of which he is member of the executive board. In Los Angeles, one of the foremost branches of the National Urban League, which received $11,300 from the Community Chest Fund this year, greeted the executive. Mr. Jones reported encouraging prospects for the extension of the Urban League in Oakland, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle and Portland. CONTINUES TO SEGREGATE RACE FOR 'MORAL EFFECT' Feared Lifting Of Ban-Would Cause Unconstitutionality To Be Taken For Granted HOUSTON, Tex. July 22—After promising that there would be no more prosecutions under the segregation ordinance here, until the United States Supreme Court has given a hearing on the Louisiana laws, Atty. Walmsley warned that he would not stick by this pledge. Atty. Walmsley decided that the moral effect resulting from the continued arrests of colored people would be lost if the prosecutions were continued and that the proponents of the segregation ordinance would come convinced that the laws would be declared unconstitutional. As a result of the city attorney's decision, real estate sharks are putting up poor structures for Negroes and charging them exorbitant prices knowing that they will have to accept them or be arrested for moving into better. LINCOLN LEGION IS NOT POLITICALLY AFFILIATED Preston News Service DES MOINES, Ia., July 15—Lincoln Legion was formed as the nucleus of a permanent organization of ex-soldiers who were in Chicago during the last political campaign. During that campaign an attempt was made to link the newly formed organization to the Republican party, but those soldiers responsible for the Lincoln Legion were unanimous in their support of the party. Independent of any political party, any political group and on that principle the Lincoln Legion went into temporary organization. It was deemed necessary to give the organization a temporary name—to elect temporary officers—and draft a temporary constitution in order to establish a working basis for a permanent organization when a larger and more representative group of ex-service men could work out the details and perfect the organization. But even the number was small—and even the group was not as representative as it must be in order to do effective work, nevertheless a beginning was made. The instrument was created. What it should be, how it should operate—who should guide and direct it, all these things were left to the ex-service men who shall assemble in Chicago, August 10th and 11th. The proponents of the Lincoln Legion have no apology to make. It happened that the soldiers who formed this temporary organization were Republicans in the last election, but no effort was ever made by any of those men to create an instrument for the benefit of any political party. And whenever and wherever that attempt was made, it met with complete failure. The Lincoln Legion is the creation of the ex-soldiers of Negro blood who have offered their services in behalf of their country, and it is up to them to make of it what they will. To those men who have freely given their service to those men who endured the horrors of war made doubly horrible by the most sinister and vicious race persecution ever conceived by a nation against its defenders; to those men whose children and whose children's children might be called upon to suffer a fate even worse than was their lot the Lincoln Legion makes its appearance. At Chicago on August 19th and 11th Negro ex-soldiers will draft an answer to Bullard and his ilk. At Chicago, the Negro ex-soldier will attempt to forge an iron that will strike a blow in behalf of Negroes everywhere in America. It is no time to question the reason to who started it and why. The time has come for action; the time has come when the Negro must fight for himself. $2nd and $3rd Divisions. Outside—and fall in at Chicago. August 10th and 11th. What better demonstration of a "dreadless cooker" do we need than the modern house servant? at TIVOLI GARDEN JUNIOR IDEAS Edited By LORETTA E. OWENS LETTER WEEK St. Louis, Mo. July 21; 1925/ Dear Kewples: This week I will not write you such a long and monotonous letter. Things this week seem much more pleasing. First of all we have several new Kewples who expect to be on the 100% list and in order to keep them from "gatting ahead" you had better get busy now. I understand that many are not familiar with the contest. The Oratical Contest which is now in session will close about the first of September. The two best titles have been selected and each Kewple is to write an ordination to the two sub- scribes to the best ordinations two on each theme) will be selected and prizes will be awarded to the winners. Get busy Kewples and send me your oration now so that I may begin to publish them. I was very glad to receive several kettles' from Kewies concerning improvements from difficulties in the club as published last week, and will appreciate more. As a truth, I will be overjoyed to hear from all Kewies. I hope that the 100% list will be at least 90% "strong" in a few weeks so that means the Kewies must get busy. *I promised to be brief so I will close. Sincerely yours. —Sister Susan I am sending a story to Sister Susan for publication and I hope all of you will enjoy it for I think you will see it in print real soon. I hope I am not too late for letter week but I have been very busy for some time and did not take time to write, but I won't do that any more. I hope Sister Susan and all the Kewpies had a nice time on July 12 at Cliff Cave and will have an enjoyable time at your next meeting. I only wish I could be there to enjoy some more of the activities of the club, but since I can't I will do all I can with a 100% Kewpie here in old Arkansas. Love to Sister Susan and all the Kewpies. Your Kewpie friends, Oreal Westberry, R. 3, Box 15 Marvell, Ark TITLES FOR THE CONTEST According to the decision of the very efficient judges the two best titles submitted for the contest are: "What Shall the Harvest Be?" by Mildred Casey and "A Glance at the Progress of the Negro Race," by Oreal Westberry. Sister Susan. Dear Sister Susan: I received your always welcome letter and was very glad to hear from you. I have never tried to write an oration, so I am not sure whether I can write one or not, though I will try. I told the Trafford Kewples to write to you. I gave Margaret Bibb your address and she said she was going to write to you. I hope she will keep her promise. I am also spending my summer days in school. It is not very hot today and I can write better. I spent July 4 at a picnic and had a very nice time. I have a new member for the club. Her name is Jake Edwards. Thanks for Miss Arlene Cole's address. I am taking English and Mathematics in summer school. We have to pay for summer school. I suppose this is the first time you have heard of that, isn't it? My teacher from you and many of the Kewles soon. Your Kewpie friend. Viola Jackson. I received your kind letter and was more than glad to hear from you. I saw my letter and my name on the 100% list and I am very glad. You are just a darling. I am very sorry that I could not attend the picnic but I will be sure to attend the other things given for the club. Yes, I think there are enough members to take care of the club, but they are not in St. Louis. I think that instead of giving parties and picnics, contests should be given and prizes awarded to the winners because the Kowpies out of St. Louis do not get the benefit of what goes on in St. Louis. I don't understand the contest that is going on and it is not because I haven't been reading. You will leave write and explain it to me. Do you attend Summer High School? A friend told me you did so I thought I would ask you. Answer soon. A pal Eva Tidwell $520 Coren Ave., St. Louis, Mo. I desire to become a member of the Argus Kewpis Club. Name Address Age Birthday Virgin Islands Governor Objected To Rejection Of His Appointees Preston News Service ST. CROIX, V. I., July 22 - The Colonial Council of St. Croix, Virgin Islands, has been dissolved by Governor Philip Williams on the ground that it refused to recognize the credentials of two of his appointees, according to information received Thursday. The message announced that the Government's action had left the governmental machinery in a state of chaos. The council, according to the report, returned to court H. Stakeman, a lawyer and a judge of the District Proof Police Court, and one Armstrong, appointed of the Governor. It baselied its judicial on an act of Congress, passed in July, 1821, which states that only citizens of the United States or of the Virgin Islands shall be eligible as Council members. Stakeman is said to have failed to acquire citizenship with the United States or the Virgin Islands where he renounced allegiance to Dominica. Officers of the American Civil Liberties Union said Friday that they would seek a Federal Government ruling on the status of the rejected appointees. TID BITS For the Associated Negro Press. For the last hundred years there have been traditions of huge snakes, in the interior of Java, some a hundred feet long and as big around as a barrel. More than a dozen parties of European explorers have gone on snake-snatching, some snake-eating, either never return, or if they they saw ordinary snakes, only thirty or fifty feet long. Finally, two captains in the English Army, with a party of Sikh soldiers went after snakes, with the determination to find them or perish in the attempt and in a few days they reached the snake region. They found wild hogs, deer and crocodiles and a few thirty-foot-reptiles but no giants. One morning a native hunter came in and reported a big snake. The Englishmen prospected and found a snake three feet in diameter, and after breaking its back with a shot, discovered that it was a lizard. The snake courageed, they pursued their explorations and three days later a Skink pointed out a snake swimming in the river. A raft was manned by the two Englishmen and their sun-bearers and the snake soon brought within firing distance. Four shots were fired and after a hiss like a steam escape, a monstrous head arose in the air, while the tail beat the water into a froth. Then by way of variety, it smashed the raft. Fortunately, all the men reached the water and remained until the snake lay motionless. It took six hours to get the body on land and its length was ninety-four feet, the largest snake on record. Cannibalism is reported and ten million persons are living on grass and trees in the Province of Kweichou, China according to a dispatch to a London paper. Last year's harvest has been exhausted in sixty districts and no food will be available until the rice crop matures in six months, the dispatch recited. Who was it who first declared that the fruit of the forbidden tree mentioned in the Bible was an apple? It is almost needless to say, that nowhere in the Scriptures does any statement of this sort occur, yet the idea that the forbidden fruit of Eden was an apple seems to have found countenance in former days amongst the Jewish horticulturists, later on, were equally susceptible to the prevailing notion that through the apple came the curse and to perpetuate the error named a specially fine variety "Eve's Apple." In parts of Palestine a tree grows producing fruit which is supposed by many people to be identical with that eaten by our first parents. The fruit presents a beautiful appearance to the eye, but it collapses in the hand on being touched. Doubless the deceptive appearance of the "fruit" has caused it to be associated with the Garden. Again in Ceylon, there grows a tree bearing the very significant name of Kadaru, meaning "forbidden." This tree produces blossoms which emit a delicate and seductive perfume. Its fruits are beautifully colored and readily arrost attention, being a deep orange on the outside and a bright crimson within. "The ripe fruit, when examined, has the appearance of having a piece bitten out," this characterization with the fact of its being josious, led the Mohummedans, on their first discovery of Ceylon, to look upon this as the forbidden fruit, and to consider themselves in the Garden of Eden. Thus, apparently terraping fruit became to them an object of the greatest veneration, and the peculiar indentation in it was regarded as the impress of Eve's bite.

Big Money Prizes For Auto Race Drivers Preston News Service INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 22—Up to August a year ago, auto-racing among the group was 'practically' an unknown-sport. What few men of the Race there were in the dirt track games were forced to tick life and limb for a few paltry dollars and no honor of recognition. Then, last year, along came the Indianapolis Colored Speedway, an organization of the entire Race that is just proud. Their one consuming de- sire was to give the young men of the Race the opportunity to build and race cars of their own for big prizes. In the first race, staged last year, in August, they paid the winning drivers the greatest amount of prize money ever collected in an automobile race in which all competing drivers were members of the group. The great support given the Gold and Glory promoters last year, and this, has spurred them on to even greater undertakings. On August 8th, next, at the State Fair Grounds here, the first dare devil to cross the finishing line in the 100 mile grind will receive the magnificent sum of $1200, second prize is $500, third prize $200 and fourth $100. Besides these handsome prizes for a few hours efforts, the team will receive $50 to each car startling in the race and not finishing in the money. Can there be any wonder that at this year's speed carvival, August 8th, the huge crowd (made up of persons from all parts of the country) engages and friends of the National Convention of the A. U.

Late in the summer faint, and hot, The blushing clover lies; Far to yon knoll and grassy spot, Suspended to the skies. The parching grass is seedy now, And withered ere so dry; He has ceased to spread and bloom and grow Beneath a burning sky. When e'er the dews awake at night, And from the fields are dripping; To mark the waning season's flight, Like o'er the hill-top slipping. Beneath the sunbeams of the sky, When shrubby fields are parching; Late in the summer hot and dry, Like thirsty pilgrims marching.

American Legion Notes By EMMETT BROWN CITIZENS MILITARY TRAINING CAMPS In various parts of the country, camps have been established, and are now in operation where the fundamentals of Military Science are taught, and from reports received, it is with much regret that note has been taken of the limited consideration, and available facilities offered to colored applicants who have shown a disposition for taking advantage of this valuable opportunity extended to the youth of this country. That is, "so to speak"—the training is to be subjected to a beneficial, beneficial, individually led, and collectively to the classes, in time of peace, as well as in time of emergency; but when we consider the statements attributed to one of the world war generals, it might be reasonable to believe that if equal opportunity were given at the Military and Naval Academies and at the different Citizens' Military Training Camps, the students might all turn out to be Generals, and maybe from fear or prejudice, this and other changes have been denied our group. But, however, we still hold out for whatever is right, and hope that more consideration will be given the next time.

Finds Colored Workers Efficient in All Capacities CLEYEIAND, A. Adams, president of the Cleveland Hardware Company (white) and his brother, E. E Adams, general superintendent, lay much of the success of their concern, which employs 2000 men and is perhaps the largest drop forge plant in the country, to the work of colored employees. The Cleveland Hardware Company which is chiefly engaged in making automobile parts, employs Negroes in every capacity. Supt. Adams is discussing his colored job, declared that they were the best buy on the market. Although the majority of the concern's employees at the present time are foreigners, there has been a steady growth in the number of colored employees. Miss Isabelle Walden, a graduate of Fisk University, holds the very important position of head chemist of the Cleveland Hardware Co., while E. J. McMillan who received training in a special school is head metallurgist, George Winn is in full charge of the garage departments with its 21 trucks and ten drivers; and Robert K. Hodge is superintendent of colored labor. Supt. Adams declared the patience and courtesy of the colored salesman would be the salvation of American trade in the Orient, which the white salesman is too impatient and abrupt to obtain. J. E.

NEW YORK July 22—John Elmer Mihiland, former editor and writer, died at this New York home, Tuesday, June 26.

There were twenty-one hospitals among the 1896 institutions reported on, which need colored interns. NEW LOCATION OF The St. Louis Argus 2312-14 Market St. Phone, Central 4620 ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1925 Colorful News "Movies" By The Cameraman For Preston News Service Cotton Is Not King Frank Bohn (white) feature writer and economic specialist, gloomily writes from New York that Cotton is no longer king of the Southland. "Our cotton states," says Mr. Bohn, "face the second great of their history since their labor system was established during the Civil War." Lamentingly, Mr. Bohn continues by saying: "A totally false notion obtains in the North that the South is prosperous. This is true only of a very small class of cities. The job of teaching the majority under present conditions is a task before which anybody might despair. Considerably more than half the workers in the southern fields east of the Mississippi are Negroes. About half the remainder are white tenant farmers. But these classes are generally incapable of modern farm practices. Mr. Bohn concludes his lamentations by saying that the North deserves the best, has never returned from the North—she deserves to be understood. She has been looked upon as though the burdens which have bowed her down for a century sprang from a moral and not an economic evil." A painstaking, check-up, of Mr. Bohn's assertions, graves, grave inconsistencies. While the South is having great difficulty in applying modern agricultural methods to its cotton cultivation and other similar pursuits, Negroes who have abandoned the old-time cotton fields of the South for new ones in cotton states, farther north, Missouri, for instance, have readily acquired a working knowledge of modern methods. This is openly attested to by the jump which Missouri is taking, under Negro labor, in cotton production. It is axiomatic, of course, that manual labor is distasteful to the white man of the South, who is still grieving over Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and its resultant constitutional amendments. The hidebound South is equally dormant in installing modern cotton and farming machinery. The experiment which was made by North Carolina, in the textile industry, within a five-year period brought that State and industry to a near parity with Massachusetts. It is no one's fault but the South that it is still half asleep as to the efficacy of modern farm methods now in constant use North and West. Low wages, long hours, the deprivation of its black citizenry of modern training and education and never produce a labor army of efficiency. Where the South has done otherwise, in the steel industry for instance, her progress has been marked, and she is not suspect for Mr. Bohn, we think that the North does not understand the South, and suggests that for the last half century the South has been made to create in the South full respect for the U. S. Constitution and its amendments, the evasion of which has raised the South's moral backwardness to mountain size and her economic dormancy to mole-hill dimensions. And the fact that Cotton is no longer long in Dixieland is directly due to the former evil rather than the latter Modernism in ethics and law is the parent of modernism in agriculture and even in cotton cultivation, itself When Marian Sings— Once more the great white world of music has had to die its hat to the musician who used word comes the Little Old New York that the doffing was done with grace and congratulations. Our own Marian Anderson, Mezzo-soprano, in a contest with three hundred singers, who were competing in the New York Stadium auditorium, was judiciously proclaimed to be the winner. According to the judges, Miss Anderson “Poessesses a phenomenal voice,” and her voice when carefully compared with 300 other natural and trained soprano voices of “artists laying claim to world honors,” was unanimously selected as being entitled to first honors. Thereafter Miss Anderson was selected to head a line of oblates behind the country with the Philharmonic Orchestra, comprised of such musical premiers as Dorys Le Vene, Nina Wulfe, Katherine Iacon, Barbara Lull, and other white musical celebrities of international distinction. Miss Anderson's triumph reminds us that among European critics, Hazel Harrison, pianist, of Chicago, another colored girl, who is a musical genius, is rated as ranking among the world's five greatest pianists. It is admitted, at least outside of America, that the German and Italian music critics are the most learned in the world. These schools of music class Miss Harrison along with Harold Bauer, Joseph Hoffman, Ignace Perewskil, and Vladimir de Pachmann, to say nothing of Ossip Gabrilowitch, Rachmaninov and Madame Olga Samaroff. Thoset who worship at the shrine of musical art should make an inventory of how art toils not, neither does it spin. They should note that small formations, finger tips, and vocal chords seem to know no bounds of color in their allotment of interpretative musical art and natural ability. Apparently the only conditions necessary to place color in art, at least in the musical world, is a fair board of judges and an unbiased promotional orchestra such as Philharmonic. What a moving picture show is life when void of God-given attributes. In the dark, where musical art rises to its greatest heights, another Anderson or whitehall Case were singing. Last, but not least, the great whites of Little Old New York were neither umbrace nor ashamed to print in incongruous position. Mia Anderson's three-quarter photograph. first to Detroit, Mich., where it sought to assimilate the life and property of a Race man who had bought and occupied a home in a white neighborhood. Then the mob journeyed to Toledo, Oregon, where 209 strong, it attacked 35 Japanese who were wicked at work in a wood mill, the employees of a corporation, which though an American in its employment policies, was one hundred per cent mourn American than the mob. Comforting news comes from Oregon in the arrest of fifty men at the District Attorney will be presented to the fullest extent of the law. From Detroit comes the report of bitterness not unlike that which followed in the wake of the Chicago and Washington riots. Thus went the mob. The remedy which the mob sought to apply was, as usual, an ill one and badly administered. In Detroit, it had no justification. In Oregon, the proximate cause of the mob's fury was an unscrupulous American employer who microchetted Japanese labor in the face of American labor. An appeal to the Americanism of such employers, of whom there are hundreds, and not to mb spirit, is the one and only appropriate method of handling such infractions upon American independence. Colorfully speaking, Americanism formed no part of the mob's motivations for its similar onslaughts have been too many times spent upon Americans themselves. Witness Chester, Pa. and East St. Louis, Ill. Thus went the mob. In Detroit—and we speak from personal knowledge—the advance agents of the mob should have been deluged down into the interracial admixture of grop might life on East Adams and in other localities of that city, and peacefully stopped the exploitation of vice by local distorters of white Christianization and civilization. Then, perchance, such hatred might not grow against one who sought merely to raise an edifice of home, pointing Heavenward. A mob, though, the most cowardly ensemble of human counterparts ever wrought by fury, never reasons, never thinks. Hence, the mob is the masterpiece of ignorant persecution—the instrumentality of a perfect barbarism. Isn't it a shame that the mob is such an outstanding institution in this Christian Nation? Good evening, Mr. Dempsey— The Iloquacious Jack Dempsey, heavyweight boxing champion of the world (with reservations) has returned from abroad full of smiles and overburdened with diplomacy, but apparently with as much desire as ever to keep on the outside of any prize ring ropes which might unclose him and a brown-hued gentleman from Louisiana, by the name of Mister Harry Wills. Life on the Montmartre has, howsoever, not been easy for him to admit that for a sufficient number of rocks to float a bank he is willing to fight any of the white second raters, with which the pugnish market is now surfeited. Will he fight Mister Wills? Well says Mister Dempsey, on a never-do today that, which you can put off, all tomorrow basks, "after a while." Once upon a time (ignoring race as we always do whenever we can) we believed that Mr. Dempsey was a better man than Mister Willis; but actions speak louder than words, and after all these months of stalling, we are convinced that deep down in his heart Jack knows that Harry could knock the champion into the squar system. Jack is a better runner than Tommy Burus, a better taker than Tommy Burus, Jim Gorbeit, a diplomat to Kid Lavigne; but as a shock absorber, sportsman, and fighter, the comparison is odious; and we are forced to admit, without reservations, that our belief in Jack's pugilistic prowess has waned down to zero. We dare not prophesy that the champion will ever agree to put on the gloves with Harry Wills, who is running the gamut of disappointment in his challenges to Dempsey. White supremacy must not, cannot fall; and when it might fall—well, the law of evasion steps in and makes it quit, cold, knocked down to the mat, as it were, by-Fear, the disturber of the peace of men and the undesirable master of near-men. The spectacle of the silk-footed, globe-trotting Dempsey is the saddest picture of might we have ever seen. Had such erasions been condoned in the days of Peter Jackson, George Dixon, John L. Sullivan, Bob Fitzstimmons and Tom Sullivan, Marquis would have had hard-kneel, and Kid McCoy would now be the undisputed champion of the world. And if it were not condoned by the white sport world of today, it would probably be "Good Evenvil" Mister Dempsey—the stars are shining." Making A Good Town Better A Series of Community Talks By THOS. E. PIOTERILL that we don't play playing ought to cause "We stop playing, not because we grow old; we grow old because we play playing." There are so many forms of play that it becomes difficult to confine ourselves to the idea of without too much distraction of thought. But people ought to play more for plays: sake adults as well as children. To the child, play is natural. To the adult it is the same, but the adult suppresses the impulse. Play, to the adult, is something confined to annual picnics or subdivided to more so-called serious pursuits. And there is the adult misses his point because he overplays in the matter of parks and public playgrounds. Every playground built in America renders the necessity for pulls and reformations less. In 1921 111 cities of the United States and Canada maintained $111 play areas under leadership. In 1900 only 11 cities were "experimenting" with public recreation facilities. Now the expansion has become large enough to include recreation centers for adults. organised athletics, water sports, community music and dramas, and special celebrations. What does all this mean? Richard C. Calhoun, in *What Men Live By*, says we live by work, worship, love and play. Play, then, is one the important ingredients in the Fall season of the more abundant life. Whole-some, innocent, non-commercial play is one of the foundations of life that renews energy and recreates the body and mind. Crowded streets, cramped apartments, crowded motor traffic, and tightening adherence to private property rights august and demand the need for more breathing places for the people, more parks and playgrounds. The earlier use of leisure has much to do with efficiency during working time. A well-equipped playground, a park and recreation center mean health, safety, good sportsmanship and promotion of community happiness. LIKENED UNTO BOILS A rather, old heading for an editorial. Yet what is happening in China and Morocco today, in the Bahrain and other parts of the world yesterday may be likened unto the plain, old-fashioned boils that break out, periodically. Doctors say the boil is a blessing in disguise because it is Nature's means of eliminating extraneous and poisonous matter from the human system. Revolutions, civil wars, rebellions are not blessings except in so far as they represent the outcurrences of national emotions, injustice factionalism, or the failure of a man to sympathize with and understand the other. It's an ill revolution that brings no good. They will have to fight it out. Better that they take it out on themselves than to try to take it out on us. Talk about evolution! There is an evolution of civilization. Man starts with clubh and bludgeons. Finally he becomes more "civilized" and uses air bombs and poison gases. SQUIRS ON EVOLUTION There is so much of the monkey in the best of us, and so much of us in the worst of the monkeys, that it doesn't behove any of us to make further monkeys out of the rest of us. An indecent, disrespectful man beside a decent self-respecting monkey naturally leads one to inquire whether the monkey has ascended from man. You can lead a child to a school book, but you can't make him study evolution if the fish are biting. On your way to work every day repeat this: "From now on I'm going to pepper more pop than ever was popped since Pop was a 'pup.' It will pop you up." AVENUES OF SERVICE There is more than one avenue for community service. You may find indeed many should, find it through the chamber of commerce; others through clubs, lodges, societies and various other organizations. Indirect. It may be found in the ideas of good citizenship. Whatever legitimate efforts are put forth to further the progress of the community will bear fruit; if not today, then tomorrow. You have your choice of finding the last avenue through which you can serve, but you have no moral desire and let the rest of the folks go by. Find your place to fill and then fill it. If it's beating a drum, beat it steadily and as the conductor directs. The fellow that roots the horn plays the tune, but the drummer keeps him in step. If it's preaching a sermon, preach it with all your heart and soul, and in accordance with your highest conception of divine law. If it's ruling a nation, rule it with firmness, intelligence and justice. If it's washing dishes, wash 'em spiked and clean. A dirty dish has divided many a home. A publishing newspaper, publish it honestly, fairly and fearlessly. That's service! That's life! That's citizenship! The host of lilts that now rear their heads in home, community and nation would never have found means of expression but we all been content to all our places as we found them. To be something else to be somewhere else, to be somebody else has warped our mannersism and tried to re-mould our personalities against Naruse that is constantly pulling against us but often apparently failing to conquer. Whatever may be your lot serve. Whatever may be your philosophy, resolve it into good thoughts. Whatever may be your wealth, put it to service by providing opportunity for the less fortunate but willing hands. Whatever may be your fame, turn not to scorn upon the humble, for they, too, have ambitions. Whatever may be your pride, enlarge it only to the point of self-deserved dignity. Whatever may be your limit of capacity, save, give and bear, that you may fulfill your higher destiny. However ill you may be in body or in spirit, *remembers that all good forces tend to beak not to destroy; that all life is active and positive, not inactive and negative; that contentment is natural and harmonious, discontent is unnatural and irritant.* The avenues of service for you. Find it. THE DRUNKEN DRIVER MENACE He is the one that the authorities will continue to wage war against the intoxicated automobile delinfer. When a man takes the wheel of a motor car, white under the influence of alcohol his offense is double trade and undruple. He has not only impaired in the violation of law by driving the limbor he is not only "introduced in a public place" against the statutes, he not only endangers his own life, but he is a positive and a dangerous menace to all life and property within the range of his wild eyes and unsteady hands. To be drunk is THE HOTEL bad enough; out to place one's self in control of an automobile while drunk or near drunk is nothing short of one of the worst of crimes. In the past there has been seen all too much of this sorrow thing. A continued firm hand will tend to reduce it. Eternal vigilance and speedy punishment will stop it. A summer suggestion: throw your dignity into the wastest bucket and snorkel with the boys some time at termoon to the old swimming hole. ROCKEFELLER SUBMITS MILLION TO SCHOOL FUND A million dollars in securities has been turned over to the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund, it was announced by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. in fulfillment of a recent pledge. The securities were delivered to Lawrence H. Kelsey, chairman of the committee, who will distribute them equally between the two institutions. Mr. Rockefeller's contribution, it was announced, swelled the fund to more than $4,500,000. The goal is $5,000,000. More than half of the sum already earned has been paid in cash. Mr. Rockefeller's gift was that it have been prompted by "sound work achieved by the two institutions in helping to solve the Negro problem."

STARS LEAD LEAGUE AFTER BEATING CUBANS AMUSEMENTS AND SPORT Birmingham Is Next To Face The St. Louis Stars Black Barons Will Play 5 Games Starting Saturday At Stars Park. Ladies Free On Tuesday. HARD SERIES AHEAD Southern Team Under Crawford Is Chesty Because Of Two Victories Out Of Three With Monarchs. Th-Plategame Black Barons will open a series of five games with the St Louis Stars at Crawford Saturday. One game will be played each day with permitting, until Wednesday. Tuesday will be free day for the Ladies. If a postponed game is necessary, it will be played in a double header on Wednesday. The Stars will receive Birmingham with some apprehension when this series opens. The Alabama team has won three out of its last five games and two of these, were from the World Champion 'Monarchs. Either the Barons have improved wonder, tally under the management of Sam Crawford or the Monarchs were in a bad stump. The Stars, now Holiday first place in the league race for the second half pennant, will be the Black Barons as the World Series were at stake. If the invaders are as strong as the flowers indicate, then Jimmy 'Taylor' and his speed boys are going to have tough sailing. The same condition obtains with Memphis which follows the Barons, and also won two out of three from the Monarchs. There is one consolation, the Stars are improving as the season advances. The hitting is harder and the pitching is getting better and better. It's the strongest team in the league at present and recognized as such by all opponents. If Taylor can keep up the playing as it is now, Kansas City might as well get ready to play St. Louis that series for the league championship. Looking at the situation from any angle, the coming series with Birmingham and Memphis will decide whether our boys are going to stay on top or be satisfied with chasing the leader. All games will be called at 3 p. m. Richard "Dick" Wallace Veteran Ballplayer, Dies Richard (Dick) Wallace, well known baseball player, died Sunday afternoon at 10a.

Monday's Game The most thrilling game of the series was played on Monday when the Stars battled the Cubans for ten innings before a verdict was reached. The score was 11 to 10. Ross was batted hard and was relieved by Miller in the ninth. Alvarez and Gomez both fell victims to the Stars' violent batting attack. After pitching five scoreless innings, Ross weakened in the sixth and an error, a single and Montalve's home run gave the Cubans' three runs and a tied score. The Stars' had scored once in the first and twice in the fourth. Hits by Tyler, the new outfield obtained from Chicago on the recent road trip, and hits by Redus' Murray and Wilson put the locals two runs to/the good in the sixth. The game (was apparently put on lee in the seventh when a hit by Bell, a walk, Murray's home run and singles by Tyler and Wilson netted the Stars four runs, but the Cubans fell on Ross in the eighth and six singles and an error gave them five runs and made the score 9 to 8. Miller went to the mound in the ninth and a dropped fly by Redus and Arango's double tied the score. In the tenth the Cubans took a one run lead on a walk to Sierra and Dreke's double. The Stars won the game in the tenth on Redus' double and sacrifice hit by Reese and Taylor, which tied the score. Bell, by a great sprint, beat out a hit to Sierra and stole second. He took a long lead of that base, and when Gomez, who pitched the three final innings whirled and threw to second, Bell threw for and when the pitchers throw hit Afonso, on the shin and chironed to right field, the fleet-footed center gardener crossed the plate with the winning tally. Gomez came right back on Tuesday and pitched a four bit game to dive the Cubans a 2- to 0 victory over the Stars. It was "Ladies Day" and the Stars did their usual act of bowing to the opposition, as only one time this season have they scored a victory on the home lot on Tuesday. Young Dave Brown was the victim, and although he pitched a splendid game, it was the old story about not being able to win if you cannot score off the opposing pitcher. A home run the league campaign with the Auto Car Giants of Philadelphia as the opposition. The league is evenly balanced with six clubs now linked in the circuit. The other five clubs who will battle Freeman's Tigers for the pennant are: Main Line Tigers, Birmingham Black Sox, Philadelphia Bucks, Auto Car Giants and the Philadelphia Quick Step.

The score by impulses: Monarchs ..... 210 000 100—4 5 2 Memphis ..... 110 000 200—5 10 Batteries-W, Bell, Drake and Duncan; Moore and Russell. July 18.—The Kansas City Monarchs suffered their second straight defeat at the hands of the fast-going Red Sox here today when they went down to defeat, 4 to 3. The game was a pitcher's battle between Tyler and Dean. Fast and snappy holding by both teams held the score down. A great showstool catch by Jackson and the hitting of Moore, with 4 hits in four times it bat, were the features. The score by limbs: Monarchs ..... 010 000 100—3 10 5 Memphis ..... 200 100 01x—4 11 2 Batteries-Tyler and Russell, Dean and Foreman.

C's with perfect team work and timely hitting, won the second game of the Birmingham series Sunday 8-2. The hurling of Garley, southwash A. B. C. pitcher, kept the visitors at bay all the way through except in the seventh, when they located him for three scratch hits, for a pair of runs, the only visitors scores of the game. Dwight, playing left field for the local, featured the field with several sensational catchs. The BROOKLYN The St. Louis Stars' great centerfader, whose speed is a sensation in the League. Bell made the getaway from the batter's box to first base 30 yards in 38 seconds flat, last Tuesday. AMERICAN GIANTS SPLIT WITH DETROIT STARS AND DROP TO SECOND PLACE DETROIT. July 22.—The Chicago American Giants broke even with the Detroit Stars in the four games played and dropped into second place, as St. Louis was winning four out of five from the Cubans. Foster's men took the first two games. On Saturday they won 9 to 1. The Stars could do nothing with Miller, getting only 4 hits. Third Baseman Shepard, of the Detroit, was the fielding sensation. The Windy City boys won 7 to 5 on Sunday, after Detroit gave them a scare in the ninth inning. The game was exciting throughout; Brown's home run in the seventh in two ahead of him for Chicago. The scores: Saturday Chicago ..... 400 030 029 - 9 12 Detroit ..... 001 000 009 - 1 4 Batteries - Miller and Dixon; New sone, Kenyon and Daniels. Sunday: Chicago ..... 000 290 320 - 7 8 Detroit ..... 001 000 103 - 5 12 Batteries - Harney and Brown; Combs, Morris and Daniels. The Detroit Stars ended up the count by winning on Monday and Tuesday. Monday's game was won in the ninth inning. The score was 5 to 4 when this frame started. The Giants made two in their half and the Stars came back with a like number to give them the one winning run. The Detroitlers won again on Tuesday, 11 to 2. Hitting three pitchers hard, the Stars never were in danger, taking a lead in the first inning that held good throughout the remainder of the struggle. Shepard, with four hits that accounted for three runs, led the Stars (5-1) plays killed off two promising rattles for the inners. The scores — Monday — Chicago — 010 201 002 — 6 51 Detroit — 001 201 012 — 7 12 Batteries, Stevens, McCall and Brown and Dixon; Bell and Daniel; Tuesday Chicago ..... 002 000 000 - 2 14 Detroit ..... 040 030 01 - 9 17 Batteries: Owens, Stevens, Miller and Brown: Kenyon and Kenard. Union Electrics Shut Out Broomer Tailors 7-0 Union Electrics Shut Out Broomer Tailors 7-0 The Union Electrics scored a shut out over the Champion Broomer Tailors, Sunday in the industrial League game played at Tandy Park, Pendleton and Cottage. D Terry allowing the Broomers only 8 scattered hits. He struck out twelve and issued only three passes. D Terry, Howard and Hawkins were the sluggers for the Union Electrics, each getting 2 out of 3. Jones, the former Summer star who, as a relief pitcher, was accrued 2d with two victories over the Union Electrics, was driven from the box in the second after 4 runs had been scored off his delivery. Harrison (Tonoy) who relieved him, pitched wonderful ball, allowing only 4 hits in 7 2-3 innings. Boswell's two trips went for naught as did Webb's double, their mates not being able to put them out. This victory practically means the pennant of the second half for Manager Bradford's boys and a real battle is on when Broomers and Union Electrics meet again. New Madrid Giants Win NEW MADRID, Mo., July 20—The New Madrid Giants played the Portageville, Hot Shots, Sunday, instead of the Carleton Cubs. The Giants won in 11 innings, 8 to 7. Both teams made costly errors. Leon Lee's base running, Culliie Smith's great catch in left field and a home run in the 11th were features. Brown brought the crowd to its feet in the 11th with a throw to the plate which nalled a runner by a narrow margin. Mitchell was relieved in the third, after the visitors had tled the score, by Enlow who held them in check. The Giants hare won 9 and lost no games, instead of one defeat, as published in last week's issue. Of course America ought to grow her own runner! It is what we live on most of the time. PAGE SEVEN NATIONAL LEAGUE Games Called at 3 p. m. BOX SEATS ON SALE IN ADVANCE AT BALL PARK LADIES FREE ON TUESDAY CUBANS Colored Team Challenges The Ku Klux Klan STERLING, IN., July 22. Despite the emunity of the Klan and the supergithon which Negroes are supposed to harbor in respect to the organization the Sterling Browns, one of the best baseball teams in this section of the country, has challenged the local Ku Klux outfit for a game to be played here for a side purse during the Klan demonstrations at the end of the month. On the day after the challenge was issued the Browns defeated the Sterling Stars, a white team which had not been defeated this season. In The Field Of Athletics THIS WEEK Edgar Brown 'Drops In.' Negro Wrestler Holds Zbyszako to a Draw. 'Flowers' Wins Every Round Bill Tate vs. Firpo Japanese Nine 'Meets Waterloo' Negro Jockey Triumphs Edgar Brown, former National Tennis champion, dropped in the Argus office Thursday morning on his way to Chicago. The noted player, who had been on a tour of nearly 2000 miles through the west, looked great, and said he was feeling even better. He averred that he expects to have a successful season this year, which of course has some bearing on the 'little mix up with that nice place of Bordentown N.J. August 24-29. Of course all loyal St. Louisans are backing this graduate of our own dear Summer High. Brown is certainly due to cause some trouble at the St. Thomas invitation tennis tournament in Chicago today and tomorrow. He is out for the St. Thomas cup, so Tally Holmes and O. B. Williams had better watch their steps. Reginald Siki, the Senegalese Negro, who claims he is a cousin of "Battling" Siki, held the champion heavyweight wrestler of the world, Whidbey Igançewcel Zhyksiko to a draw in a one hour wrestling match at Sun Francisco. It was the first chance that the New Yorker has ever gotten at a really big foe in America and he must good, so much so that he has loomed up as having good possibilities of developing into the champion heavyweight wrestler of the world. Siki tells his own story of his mix with the Polish, giant in the following words: "It was a great surprise to the wrestling fans at Frisco when I climbed into the padded arena. These fans were skeptical of my ability; then too the notoriously that my cousin Battling Sikl, has created throughout the United States, had a great deal to do with this attitude. When I was introduced to the referee the fans began to sucker and wiserack about me not lasting as long as a snowball in hades; but after my hour of wrestling with the Pole they changed and were pulling for me to pin him. One hour was the time limit. At the end of this time Wadek was completely exhausted. In five minutes more would have pinned his shoulder to the mat. I am positive of this because he had to be carried to the corner. Deacon Tiger Flowers had a great time last Monday night at Boston, Mass. in a little match with Pat McCarthy of Roxbury. He entertained the Irish lad nicely for ten rounds at the end of which he was awarded the decision. "The deacon won every round," so said the judges. The Roxbury man kept up a stubborn defensive, but his offensive was ineffective, and he scored only one telling blow, a hard right to the jaw in the sixth. It was Flowers' fight throughout. By the end of the fight, McCarthy's eyes were both closed, and he was staggering. In the final round, Flowers demonstrated his untied condition by turning a handspring around the ring. Big Bill Tate, former sparring partner of Jack Dempsey, has accepted an offer to box Luis Angel Firpo, a 12 round no-decision bout in Beaunos Aires during the first week in September; at which time the Prince of Wales will be visiting the city.

Jackson turned in a card of 149 for the first 24 hole run which busted the runners-up by three strokes. On the second 23 holes Jackson scored a score of 24 with Shipman, likewe made the stranger.

History teaches us that Kings listened to. petitions of their ‘Subjects and are sometimes-mover; but Baker gets mad when the people, the citizens of the state, petition him. It seems to make ho difference with him how meritorious, this cause. The more “the petitions, the more stitbborn and ugly the ‘governior-becomes.

CAVALRY BAND FEATURE OF NAT'L NEGRO BUSINESS L'GUE AT TULSA PART TWO Three-Day Session Beginning Aug. 19, To Be Full Of Various Activities. Aeroplane Flights, Baseball Games. Trip To Muskogee, Visit To Oil Gushers And Many Other Features. TULSA, Okla., July 20.—The Entertainment Committee of the Tulsa, Negro Business League has, through the instrumentality of Senators Harold and Pine, just completed arrangements with the War Department for the Tenth Cavalry Band to furnish music for the entertainment of the National Negro Business League which meets in Tulsa, August 19-20-21. Tulsa expects to entertain the National Negro Business League so differently from what has been the style of entertainment had in other cities. The first night, Tuesday, the 18th of August, the local and State Leagues will give the officials and visitors of the National League a Dutch luncheon and Smoker at the Warren Dining Room in the Royal Hotel at the intersection of Greenwood and Archer streets and the lady visitors will be entertained by the City Federation of Women's Clubs at a place to be selected by the Federation. At 5 a.m., August-19, all visitors in attendance at the League will have the pleasure of attending a Breakfast Dance and Swim at Nall Brothers' Pavilion and Berry's Natatorium, and throughout the session of the League all visitors desiring will have the opportunity of seeing Tulsa, from midair, from Mr. Simm Berry's Plane at the smallest possible rate. Arrangements have been made with the Oklahoma Union Railway Company by which all visitors may have an opportunity of seeing the second largest 'park in the United States,' the Mohawk Park. The large site-seeing cars will leave Booker Washington High School grounds each day during the entire session of the League, 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. for a storeaid park, a distance of 22 miles for the small sum of one dollar for the round trip, conditioned upon their filling the car for each trip. The United States is the oil center of the world. Oklahoma is the oil center of the United States. Tulsa is the oil center of Oklahoma and therefore the oil center of the world; thus Tulsa is desirous of going on record for showing to her visitors more activity in the oil industry than they have in mind to see. It is with this purpose in view, that we have arranged with the Oklahoma Union Railway Company for a Trolley ride, on their line down through Sapulpa, the county seat of Creek County and through the famous Kleifer Oil Fields and down to Mounds where an Oil Well will be shot. The visitors will have an opportunity to see the crude oil and also to see the finished product; we will also visit the Cosden Refinery, the largest in the world. We claim for Oklahoma that in point of natural resources, it is second to none in the United States of America, from the Lakes to the Gulf and from Ocean to Ocean, and all efforts will be exerted to demonstrate that fact. We have also arranged to visit Mr. Page's Cotton Mill at Sand Springs and don't forget that Oklahoma is strong on the cotton industry. Mr. Page is in deed and in truth a friend to humanity. That poetic writer who wrote the poem, "Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man," evidently looked down through the line of time and saw Charles Page, thus the inspiration for writing the poem. Through the instrumentality of Mr. T. H. Steffin, arrangements have been completed whereby we may give a picnic and free barbecue at the Sand Springs Park, the largest electrical park in the Southwest for the entertainment of the visitors one afternoon while in Tulsa. The particular afternoon has not yet been determined. The Industrial Parade on the 20th under the supervision of Lawyer P. A. Chappelle, will be harmonized by only a few and excelled by none. In addition to the cars and floats, there will be in the parade those large site-seeing busses for those who want to represent their several communities. Five Negro aviators, five, will fly in formation over the parade from beginning to end. Arrangements have been made with the Rev. S. S. Jones, who recently returned from an extended visit to the Holy Land, by which the visitors will have an opportunity to see Oriental pictures, together with pictures of the various businesses conducted by our people including their homes, farms, oil wells in action, ranches, etc., on the movie screen, at least one hour each day during the entire session of the League. The banquet on Friday night promises to be the big event of the League. The ladies will be gowned in the latest creations of Paris and Knighthood will be Ne Plus Ultra. A word about the - Tenth Cavalry Band, twenty-five men, a band which in point of efficiency, is second to none in the world, the band out of that famous Tenth Cavalry Regiment which marched up San Juan Hill singing "There will be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" and planted LET THE ARGUS BE YOUR SHOPPING GUIDE. IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR MERCHANT'S ADVERTISEMENT IN THE ARGUS, ASK HIM THE REASON. Old Glory on San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American struggle. Arrangements have been made to have professional baseball games each day during the session of the League at McNulty's Park. The American Glants of Chicago and the Kansas City Monarchs of Kansas City, Mo. pennant contenders in the National Negro Baseball League will cross bats. The American Glants headed by the veteran Rube Foster and the Monarchs under the guidance of the brainy Rugan, represent the best aggregation of Negro baseball teams and the most bitter rivals in America. On Saturday morning, at seven o'clock a special train of eighteen coaches will leave over the M. V. R. R., for a day's outing at Muskogee. Muskogee is considered the beehive of Negro activity in the United States. The largest dry goods store owned and operated by Negroes in the world is there. The most beautiful homes, schools and churches are there. Your entertainment at Muskogee will be the surprise of your visit to Oklahoma.

BOARD LAUNCHES A VICE WAR Will Conduct Wholesale Attack On Prize Fights, Racing, Theatres And Books WASHINGTON, D. C., July 22—The Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in a statement Monday, from its Washington headquarters, said that prohibition enforcement now was in good shape, but that other things were not. The board reported: "In other lines the news is not so good. The new corruption of novel and magazine fiction, the spreading over the country of the worst sort of literature is a post-war development of an appalling character. But the newspapers of the country, which with all their faults, never printed any dirt and called it art," have gone into the trenches in defense of common decency, and it may well be that the development will be checked within the year. "The same thing is true of the new degradation of the American theatre. This menace has been hard to meet because any attack served as advertising and has been profitable to conscienceless theatrical managers. But it can hardly be that, these men will fail to sense the present irritation of the people. The coming theatrical season can hardly be so bad as the last one, and if it is it will be the last successful season for a number of years. "There is the problem of sport perversion, characterized by brutality or gambling. We can not have too much sport, which is one of the greatest influences for 'good' in this country today, but the brutality of prize-fighting, which had been practically banished from this country before the war, calls for constant protest. Good citizens should demand that prize fighting be stopped, at least where it is against the law. Gambling, also, especially race gambling, is increasing greatly. There are two large factories in Chicago confining their time to manufacturing gambling devices. This evil is hostile to the interests of business, the home and the church. "We should not forget that there is a group calling 'itself intelligentis, which is conducting considerable war on everything, typically American, which includes ordinary morality and decency. These people may be intelligentis but it is strange that they do not even know when the time has arrived for a haircut—these men are enemies to the country and Americans should regard them as such." CHICAGO COLORED POSTAL WORKERS PROMOTED Associated Negro Press Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill. July 22.—Word received from Congressman Madden's office in Washington on Friday brought gladness to the hearts of local postal workers when the announcement was made that three Negro clerks had been promoted to foreman. David B. Hawley, president of the Appointment Club; Howard Cornwell, also a member, and Henry F. Wilson, president of the local branch of the National Postal Alliance, were the new selected. Their appointment was somewhat in the nature of a compromise. For several years the postal employees have been urging promotion for some few of our workers as a proof that there was no limit ability when demonstrated and that the government placed all its servants upon par. More persuasive methods were adopted when Leader Edward H. Wright with the support of Congressman Madden entered the fray. A superintendent of a station was hoped for and the names of the three men now appointed were mentioned in connection with that position. The result was the appointment to foremanships of all three, who had the endorsement of all the local postal organizations, the Phyllis club, the Chicago branch of the National Postal Alliance, the Railway Mall branch of the Postal Alliance and the Chicago Post Office Girls club.
