Editor Threatened With Violence! Charley Gibson Defies The Press, "Bad-man" The "Gang" Offers to put up Money to Defend Man or Woman Who Kills the Editor A Fearless Defender of Right and Justice Read by Evevybody Vol.1, No.38 Editor Charley The Pr Policeman Consp The "Gang" Offer ey to Defend M Who Kills Investigation Under-way With Starting Faet to Follow The fight for public decency is waxing warm in Tulsa and each issue of the Star adds fuel to the flames. So much so that threats of violence are freely made against the editor of the Tulsa Star, who will not be intimidated by any one, but will persistently wage the battle. What now seems a plain conspiracy between a police officer and a "sorehead" to do violence to the editor was brought to light last Saturday, when the editor was halted on the street by one Charley Gibson, who demanded to know who wrote the article which appeared in last week's issue of the Star about him. The editor admitted that he was responsible for everything in the paper and suggested to the gentleman that he had his remedy at law if the article was false and libelous. This so enraged the proprietor of the Crystal Cafe that he became very abusive and dared the editor to ever circulate his name again in the paper, making all kinds of threats, which attracted a considerable crowd of curious onlookers. The editor, becoming disgusted and not caring to further belittle himself by engaging in an altercation with the would be "bad man,"isurely walked away, leaving him the center attraction of the scene he had caused, directly in front of his cafe. Meanwhile, during all of this excitement, Jacob W. Dillard, colored policeman, stood serenely by with his hands clapped behind him and had not one word to say, thus neglecting his official duty by resisting to arrest the peace disturbed, although he was present and hard and saw all that took place. Instead, he told others, it is said, what he would do to the editor if his name ever appeared in the paper. The Star has not yet given once in showing up Policeman Dillard, but we now serve notice that these threats cannot intimate us. If Dillard desires to join himself with the element we are fighting, here goes for him al- the plans of the conspiracy, as it appears (for such things always leak out) was for Gibson to kick the editor and Dillard would rush to Gibson's rescue, club editor from behind, call the wagon and haul their victim to the police station. But her courage failed them or the or left too soon for their plans to carry. This action on the part of a po THE TULSA STAR SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, AUG. 1 1913 lice officer certainly incapacitates him for service on the police force, and in justice to the police department and for the safety of the general public he should be dismissed. It is rumored that the lower element who are opposed to the success of the Star have offered to put up money to defend Gibson or any one else who will kill the editor in a fight. With such unholy conspiracies as these to face, with open threats of violence hurled at us, we are not yet dismayed or discouraged. We are fighting conditions, not for any personal gain, because the fight is too costly for that, but we are fighting because the well-being of our wives and daughters are at stake, because the very foundation of our homes are threatened, because the race is being damaged because of the conditions we are opposing. WE ARE FIGHTIN GBECAUSE IT IS RIGHT, and for that very reason we will win. And all those who hate us now will some day love us for having opposed them. It is a righteous cause and we fear nobody. We ask only the co operation of the officers of the law and the better class of citizens black and white. Several ministers have commended the Star for its persistent fight, and some of them have gone so far as to offer financial assistance. Most prominent among those who are openly fighting in the ranks with the Star are Rev. Jos. A. Johnson, Rev. J. F. Kirsh, Rev. F. K. White. In commending the Star for its stand in the Charley Gibson case Rev. Johnson offered to pay a part of the cost to get out an injunction against Gibson, and said he would denounce him from the pulpit just as strongly or stronger as he had recommended him to the public heretofore if Gibson continued to run his electric piano on Sunday. However, this will not be necessary, as the police have notified Gibson not to play his piano on Sunday. We have been investigating court records and records of the clerk of the county court, and we have plenty of ammunition for next issue. EDITOR. HEW TO THE LINE To the Editor and Readers of the Tulsa Star: It is not alarming to know the right will prevail when right efforts are put forth to do the right. Every citizen and leading person of Tulsa should feel proud of the Report of the Chamber of Commerce on Law and Order, and the assurance that Hon. Mr. Wil- liams (police) gave us, in my humble opinion, he is the man of the people, and for the people, for right and justice to all. Why not commend him? It should be the duty of all our citizens of Tulsa to help the officers of the law to execute the law with no regards to property owners, but because you believe in decency of life and practice. I most heart- THE PATTERSON CASE There has been care during the last few days of A. E. Patterson of the registrar of the Union and there has been solemnism of the two Oklahoma endorsement of a negro.

E. Patterson of this city to the position of registrar of the United States treasury, and there has been some unfavorable criticism of the two Oklahoma senators for their endorsement of a negro to this appointment. It occurs to us that this criticism is unjust. We believe the great majority of democrats south of the Mason and Dixon line question the wisdom of recognizing negroes as democrats to any extent or in any manner whatsoever and question the wisdom and propriety of appointing them to any office. It has long since been the settled policy of our government to educate the negroes and to give them every opportunity to fit themselves to discharge every duty encumbent upon the American citizen. They stand in exact equality before the law, and it has become the settled policy of the national democratic party to recognize negroes and to encourage them to join the ranks and enlist in the political warfare, and it seems to be the settled policy to appoint them to office both by democratic and republican administrations. So long as we continue to educate the negroes and urge them to prepare for citizenship, why should every door of hope be closed? Why urge them to educate if they must remain menial servants? It is only carrying out the settled policy of the government and of the democratic party when men of Patterson's type are recognized. No one will question his ability and qualifications, and every man who is acquainted with him must admit that he is a high class negro, educated, polite, diffident, unassuming, gentlemanly, of good habits, honest and industrious. There can be no possible objection to his appointment other than the one fact that he is a negro. The Times-Democrat congratulates both of the Oklahoma senators for their courage and manhood manifested by their stand taken in this matter. Those who are loudest in criticism and most diligent in encouraging protests against the confirmation of this appointment are perhaps more interested in attracting attention to themselves than any other purpose. — Muskogee Times-Democrat, 7-31-'13. ily sanction Capt. Jackson in opposing discrimination among all honest citizens. It must be understood by those who know so little about many of us who recently cast our lot in Tulsa, in pursuit of our vocation, that records, deeds, etc., and some standing at your own city banks with deposits besides a comfortable home in Muskogee, backed up by some rental property will say no --- discrimination will be made when looking for men whose life of 27 or more years has been given to elevate a people. But the main issue of our contention is shall ill fated places go or stay? And what best to do to change conditions? Let us keep up the agitation of changes, and stand by the committee whom we expect to secure for our people a park, and stamp our disapproval upon any place or party who will refuse assistance to the suppression of crime, lawlessness, and encourage resorts for Boosters, Fanboats, Sand Lizzards and Sunday Desecration be he male or female, from the pulpit to the pews. I for one say denounce them. Mr. Editor, I join you in saying clean considerable discussion days of the appointment this city to the position United States treasury, some unfavorable criticism senators for their pro to this appointment. This criticism is unjust. The majority of democrats and Dixon line questioning negroes as democrin in any manner what the wisdom and proprietory to any office. It has settled policy of our gov't the negroes and to give priority to fit themselves to encumbent upon the they stand in exact equivand it has become the national democratic negroes and to encourage us and enlist in the politics to be the settled man to office both by demon administrations.

Why be if they must remain going out the settled policy and of the democratic Matterson's type are recill question his ability and every man who is accused admit that he is a educated, polite, diffident, manly, of good habits, thus.

Chamber of Commerce to Hold Celebration The Chamber of Commerce in its Monday night session again commended the good work being done by the committee on law and order and flung a few bouquets at the editor of The Tulsa Star for the great help being rendered by the paper in establishing a better moral atmosphere in the east end, C. W. Henry was emphatic in denouncing Charley Gibson for refusing to comply with the request of the committee, but was checked in his attack when told that the police had issued orders that no piano playing would be allowed in public places of this kind on Sundays. An earnest effort is now on foot by the chamber to celebrate in the big way the 50th anniversary of American Emancipation and to facilitate the work a local committee of eleven was appointed by President Martin to feel the public pulse in Tulsa county with a view to having other neighboring counties participate in the celebration. If the present plans work the fair grounds will be secured and used for exhibitions of all kinds, showing the progress of the race in 50 years time. The report of this committee will be heard at the next meeting Monday night. The Grand Father's Clause Head up Appealed To U. S. Supreme Court According to the decision of the state supreme court honded down Tuesday in the case of Cofield against Thos. Farrell, L. F. Leach and T. Elder, election officers of Logan county, the so-called grandfather clause is no tin violation of the 14th or 15th amendments to the federal constitution or of the enabling act. These were the questions involved in the suit and Justice Williams ruled against the plaintiff. The case will be appealed to the U. S. supreme court, where a similar case is now pending. This is the second time the supreme court of this state has upheld the grandfather clause and of course it was not expected this court would reverse itself. Woman Cut at The Midway Pearl Travis was severely cut across the breast and on her left arm by Ida Duncan at the Midway Park Monday night.

Mr. Cleaver has served notice that no mercy whatever will be shown the man or woman who starts trouble at the Midway in the future.

Made by Van Vloet-Manafield Drug Co., Mamahla, Tenn. Price $1.00 POLISHED FLOOR NEEDS CARE Methods by Which It May Be Made to Last Long and Always Appear at Its Best. The first step in polishing a soft wood floor is to see that it is perfectly smooth and clean. It it has been already painted or varnished the stains should be removed with strong ammonia and thorough scraping, when all cracks and dents should be closed with putty and a "filler" applied all over. This can be purchased at most oil and varnish shops, and should either be mixed with a little color or a sufficient quantity of floor stain should be added. The filler should be put on with a flat brush or piece of cloth and worked in one direction with the grain of the wood, while on completion of the process the room should be closed for 24 hours. At the end of that time the boards should be rubbed until they shine, with a long-handled, heavy weighted broom, over which a piece of carpet has been tacked, and this process may be repeated ad libitum. Finally the floor may be polished with boiled linseed oil and turpentine, this mixture being rubbed well in with a cloth and then left for an hour or two to dry, after which it must be again polished with the weighted brush. Instead of a final touch of this description, the floor may be finished with a coat of varnish or shellac or with some prepared hardwood treatment, both of which should be put on evenly and thinly with a weighted brush or with an old piece of carpet. In order to keep the floor at its best after the polishing process has been completed, it should never be washed with water, but after all the dust has been removed crude petroleum should be rubbed in and left to dry. ALL AROUND the HOUSE Endives, stewed, make a pleasant change as a vegetable. Cold sauce or fruit added to junket makes a pleasant change.

Fruit Frappe With Nuts Almost every woman nowadays has her own special frappe combination, with which she delights to mystify her guests. Into the bottom of the frappe glass put a generous spoonful of preserved strawberries, on top of the berries come the ice cream, vanilla in this case, then a spoonful of whipped cream, and on top of the cream a grating of English walnuts. All sorts of fruit combinations are used as foundation for the frappes, and the covering for the whipped cream is variously cocoa, grated macaroons, chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon or candied rose leaves. Pretty little frappe glasses in the American pressed ware, light and dalty, can now be purchased as low as 80 cents a dozen. In serving, each glass is set on a pretty china plate with a little dolly between the glass and the plate. A spoon, of course, goes with it. Cantaloupe Glace. Cantaloupe glace is a delicacy that is truly delicious. Take melons that have been thoroughly chilled, cut in halves and lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds. Fill the hollow of each half with vanilla ice cream, packing it in as firm as possible, leaving a little mound in the center. Place the halves together tightly, thus forcing the cream up into the fruit, causing the melon juice to mingle with the cream. When ready to serve, a knife run between the halves separates the fruit and slices the cream. Vegetarian Sausages. One and one-half cups ilma beans, two tablespoons butter, one teaspoon salt, a dash tabasco sauce. Soak the beans over night, cook them in salted water until soft, drain perfectly dry and then squeeze the pulp through a potato ricer. Beat in the butter and seasoning. If not moist enough, add one beaten egg or as much of it as required, making the paste so soft that it can be rolled into croquets. Shape like sausage, dip in beaten egg and flour, and try in butter until brown. 4 Mrs. Hamilton Tells How She Finally Found Health in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Warren.

TULSA, OKLA., STAR BROKE HIS OWN STAGE RULE Henry Irving's Little Pleasantry That Spoiled Effective Death Scene In "Othoilo." The note about actors who try to "queer" other actors on the stage, writes a correspondent, reminds me of a story of the only time when Henry Irving was guilty of such a thing. He was acting Othello, to the Desdemona of the late Miss Bateman and every Saturday night the performance was followed by a very pleasant little supper party. Desdemona was strangled on a bed at the back of the stage, and part of Irving's "business" was to leave the bed, and then, going back to it, draw the curtains slightly aside and peep in at the body, afterwards turning a face of inexpressible anguish toward the audience. His face, his shudder and the deep-drawn sigh which he gave were among the most impressive parts of one of his greatest creations. As a rule he sternly suppressed any levity on the stage, but one Saturday night, as he drew back the curtain, he said, in a sepulchral whisper, "What have we for supper, Desdemona?" Alas! Miss Bateman was unequal to the strain and a merry laugh from the dead rang through the house. Never again, I believe, did Irving break his own rule of seriousness on the stage. It was told me (adds our correspondent) by my father, who was at the supper party on the night it occurred. Under a Different Court "Judge Livingston Howland, who was judge of the Marion common pleas (succeeding Solomon Blair, promoted to the superior court in 1870), and who succeeded me as judge of the Seventh circuit after the election of 1872, was listening to the argument of George K. Perrin, when he interrupted the attorney, saying: 'Mr. Perrin, you have repeated that statement of the law now three times. If you have any other point to discuss I will hear it, but no more of that, if you please.' "To which Mr. Perrin replied: 'Why, if it pleases the court, I have repeated the Lord's Prayer, I suppose, a thousand times, and the Lord has never rebuked me.' "Ah, yes," responded the judge, "God is said to be long suffering and kind and may have suffered your vain repetitions, but I am not God; no, not by a long sight." "Case and Comment. Loyal to His "Granny." The grandfather of a boy or six or seven years is a man of a great deal of prominence in the world of letters and affairs. A lady calling at the home of this gentleman was being entertained for a few minutes by the little grandson and the caller said: "You ought to be very proud of your grandfather. You know that he is a great man." "Huh!" said the boy. "If you think that my grandfather is a great man you just ought to know my grandmother!"—Woman's Home Companion Burial by Installments A well-known local character, of Townsend, Mont., lost a leg in a switching yard on the railroad. The railroad boys raised a little purse for the victim, who was rather down on his luck in other ways aside from the accident. After paying his board and hospital bills he went down and bought a coffin and a lot in the cemetery and had his amputated leg buried in good style. "Now," he said, "when I cash in, all they will have to do will be to dig up the coffin and put me in with the leg!"—Saturday Evening Post. Looks That Way.

Orders for printing 100,000,500 Red Cross Christmas seals for use during the holiday season this year have already been placed and preparations for the sale are well under way, according to an announcement made from the New York campaign headquarters. Over 40,000,000, or $400,000 worth of seals, were sold in 1912, a gain of nearly 25 per cent, over the previous year. Because of the deep interest in the anti-tuberculosis movement for which the seals are sold, the American Red Cross and the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis who conduct the sale, hope to reach the 50,000,000 mark this year, netting $500,000 for the prevention of consumption.

There is no need of living if you can't do something to make somebody happy. If you cannot do something to better humanity step aside and let another rtake your place. The east end is improving in a general way and the change is noticeable. This change has been brought about through the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce and the police department. True and tried men are needed on the police force for this end of town. No man who will shirk his duty should be permitted to remain on the force. It is the plain duty of a police officer to quell disturbances and to arrest the disturber whether friend or foe and when a police man fails to discharge his duty he should be removed. 1. Johnson, pastor of the Vernon A. M. E. Church, is on the warpath against Sunday desecration and serves notice on all "bac men" and scrappers that he is in the game to the finish. A wandering poet drifted into the office Wednesday and unloaded a bushel or two of his stock in trade and suggested that the manager read it over and then run it in the paper as a matter of courtesy. The manager went suddenly into spasmodic ecstacies and the wandering poet went out the door, saying it would help the paper. It might help the paper to spend two or three dollars boosting the poet, but we figure it would help him more and there fore he should be willing to at least subscribe for the paper. The race is being imposed upon altogether too much by this kind of prodigy. The manager was right. No good citizen, and no honest bad one, will deny that our stand is right. We are glad to note one fact, which gives us encouragement in our battle for public decency. That is, the ministers as a whole are with us and have openly joined the ranks with us. We know the Colored population of Tulsa has a bad reputation with the outside world, but we desire to inform the world at large that the respectable people of Tulsa are in the majority and with the help of the ministers and other worthy citizens the Star will ultimately establish this fact. The Star is still in the fight for decency and as long as there is anything publicity wrong and indecent to fight we will be found on the firing line. We serve notice now that this fight is on to the finish. No little pussilaminous cuss who indulges in any kind of street-corner threats against us can intimidate us. We have been threatened with violence by one would be "bad man," who dared us to mention his name again. This issue, however, carries an article of which he is the subject and as long as he or any one else makes public record, good or bad, it is liable to appear in the Tulsa Star. We do not make the news, but when it is made the Star will certainly print it, if the editor feels disposed to do so. It is our purpose to give facts to the public without fear or favor, and to use all the power we can to improve public morals of this city.

Prominent Church Members or Said to Be in the Game As an aftermath of the good work of the committee on law and order appointed by the Chamber of Commerce two weeks ago to improve the moral conditions of this city, a number of the underworld have "drawn in their tents like the Arabs and as silently passed away." The famous "Supple Sox" resort has been closed and other places are taking the hint. Who collects the rent for these hellholes? is a question that might bear investigation by the authorities. It is now rumored that a big man, a "high muck" in the church circles, a conspicuous figure in the "amen" corner, is actively engaged in collecting rent from these disreputable dens of vice and corruption. Whoever heard of a man engaged in the work of saving souls collecting toll for the destructions of them? This kind of hypocracy is altogether too much in evidence in Tulsa. Let the churches get busy and clean out the temple of the Lord. The officers of the law can do very little good to make public morals better as long as such devils as these collect revenue from the shame and degradation of humanity and shields it in the church.

Crop Fallures Cited As Reasons For Desiring the Lowering of Levies. —Other News of the Representatives of the taxpayers of more than twenty counties of the state appeared before the state board of equalization to enter their protests against tentative increases proposed by the board over the valuations returned by the county equalization boards. In several instances the representations made by the counties were sufficient to show the board that the proposed incerase would work a hardship on the taxpayers and immediate action was taken in rescinding the increase while in other counties the board decided to give them further consideration before acting. Crop failures are cited in nearly every instance in support of the request for lower taxes. In some of the counties where the state board has proposed increases it was stated that the farmers have no crop as a result of an unfavorable season and in some instances have practically been forced to abandon their farms. In others it is stated that farmers have been compelled to sell their stock and farming implements to meet maturing obligations and if compelled to pay the increase proposed by the board their financial ruin would be completed. The same stringency it was told the board, exists among the business and townspeople of many of the smaller communities which are practically dependent on agricultural products. In Woodward county where the board made a proposed increase of 20 per cent in land values the increase was reduced to 10 per cent. Various inequalities in assessing the land of that county as well as errors in making up the report were pointed out to the board after which the reduction was ordered. A proposed increase of 10 per cent on land values in Love county was cut to 5 per cent. Only about 30 per cent of the entire land of Love county, it is said, is taxable and only about 10 per cent of that is improved land. Requests to withdraw a 15 per cent increase on land in Choctaw county; 20 per cent increase on land in Craig county; 10 per cent increase on land in Logan county, and a 5 per cent increase in Muskogee county were made to the board, but no decision was rendered. In Major county a proposed flat increase of approximately $160,000 on all taxable property was withdrawn after it had been shown to the board that the farmers of that county were offering great financial loss as a result of four consecutive crop failures. A proposed increase of 10 per cent on farm land in Pawnee county was withdrawn and the assessment accepted as fixed by the county board. It was shown to the state board that more than a third of the land in Pawnee county is allotted and therefore exempt from taxation. McClain Figures Stand. The returns submitted by the county board of equalization for McClain county were accepted by the board. This was one of the last counties to report. A strenuous kick was lodged against a proposed increase of 10 per cent on personal property in Nowata county, but the board declined to take any action on the complaint until it could be given further consideration. In this county, it is said that crop failures and other adverse circumstances have practically compelled the farmers to desert their farms. Raise Withdrawn. In Pottawatomie county a tentative increase of 10 per cent on personal property was withdrawn and land values increased 10 per cent. A 10 per cent increase proposed on both personal and real property in Wagoner county was withdrawn. The Arkansas and Grand rivers both run through Wagoner county, and it was shown to the board that a larger portion of valuable land in that county was subject to being overflowed by a rise in either river, rendering the land almost useless for agricultural purposes. In Washita county a proposed increase of 5 per cent on farm land was removed. TARIFF ON SILOS FIXED. Complaints of Oklahoma Jobbers Cause Commission to Act. In pursuance of the complaint filed by W. V. Hardie, secretary of the Oklahoma Traffic association, the corporation commission issued its final order promulgating rates, rates and classifications of steel silos when shipped in carloads or less than carload lots between points in Oklahoma. The new classification, it is said, carries into effect a material reduction in freight rates on this commodity. The new order is expected to fill a long-felt want on the part of manufacturers and shipers of steel silos and material for their construction. There is no tariff at present which covers silos and as a result, it is said, Oklahoma jobbers and manufacturers have been discriminated against in the matter of rates. At the hearing on the proposed order, held before the commission, representatives of the carriers who appeared at the hearing virtually admitted a discrimination against Oklahoma Corner Archer and Greenwood POULTRY MORTALITY IN BABY CHICKS Often Attributed to Parent Stock When Fault Is Really Not Inherent—Test for Cause. The large mortality in baby chicks is very often attributed to the parent stock when the fault is really not inherent. In an effort to ascertain the real cause for this condition make a test. Remove carefully all traces of food from the brooders, leaving none whatever near them. Take some of the chicks that have the care of the mother hen and place them in the brooder over night. Continue this for several nights in succession, being sure to return them to the care of their mother each morning. Each morning note the condition of these little fellows, and if they are not injured or are none the worse for their experience in the brooder you will know that the temperature in the brooder is about right and the fault does not lie in that direction. With the brooder eliminated as a possible cause for the mortality, you most begin to look elsewhere. This narrows itself down to one of two causes—improper feeding or lack of exercise. Now test for the food cause. Change your conditions of feeding radically and note the result. If the cause is not from the feeding, it must be from lack of exercise. Correct this by supplying them with a proper amount of this requisite. Simply finding your chicks dead in the brooder in the morning when they are all crowded in a corner is not sufficient proof that they died from too low a temperature. Sick, weakly and indisposed chicks will always huddle together whether they are cold or not. They will not huddle together, however, should the temperature be excessively high, in which event they will spread apart, and when found dead will usually be lying on their breasts. This condition, however, is seldom noted, as it takes a very high temperature to cause them to spread apart and to cause their death. BREED POULTRY FOR RESULTS Difficulty in Mating Unrelated Birds Is to Find Strains With Like Characteristics. "Few people realize the advantages of breeding together unrelated birds. Every time they are mated a decided improvement is had in their young, in exhibition and utility qualities, size and extreme hardiness." The above statement was made by E. R. Philo of New York, a man who has done much experimenting along the line of breeding. Line breeding is dangerous unless thoroughly understood, and the work of years can be demolished in a very short time. As above stated, Prize Winning Plymouth Rock the progeny of unrelated fowls is thrifty and high in utility, points which every breeder strives for. The greatest handicap in mating unrelated birds is to find strains with like characteristics. When rearing a strain of Rocks for egg production it is sometimes hard to find a suitable male, bred for the same results as the hens he is to be mated with. Many breeders have distinct lines of birds, bred for the same results, but wholly disconnected along blood lines. In this way they can furnish their patrons new blood whenever desired. Many a good strain is run down or ruined because of lack of experience of the breeder. One must know how and why the breed to obtain best success Economy Drug Store Dealers in Fresh Drugs, Toilet Articles, Perfumes, and Other Sundries. Cold Drinks and Ice Cream a Specialty. DR. A. F.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The real black belt of the United States is not in Mississippi nor South Carolina, but in the great farming districts of Delaware and the eastern shore of Maryland, a writer in the New York Sun asserts. There are not so many colored people in this region, but they are a good deal nearer pure black. Yellow folk never were numerous, but they are getting fewer, and there is a distinct reversion toward the pure African type. This is attributed to an enforcement of caste lines even more rigid than in slavery days. A single drop of African blood condemns its owner to classification with the colored people. Such persons of mixed blood as remain in the rural parts of the border states find that they are not socially advanced by their Caucasian inheritance, and they often marry with the blackest of their neighbors. Such marriages are hastening the reversion to type. A skilled enthologist could assign many of these people to their proper African tribes. Yet, with this reversion to African type is going on another thing that marks progress within type limits. Many of the very blackest men and women show a touch of refinement in features and expression, and the gentleness and intelligence evident in many men is far removed from the type of savage native African. The colored folk, whatever their degree of blackness, are isolated industrially and socially. On the farms, where they are almost the only hired laborers, they have their tiny cabins, usually set by the roadside, because they prefer the cheerfulness of the highway to the privacy of the fields. Each farm has its master's house set from one hundred to five hundred yards from the highway behind a dense screen of trees and shrubbery. In town, as in country, the colored people are segregated from the whites Native whites incline to deny that the negro is advancing, but any one who revisits this black belt after an absence of 25 or 30 years can easily measure roughly for himself the advance. Comparatively few Negroes over ten and under sixty are unable to read and write, and the village homes, though poor and unsanitary, are better than they were some thirty years ago. Negro farm laborers hire for nine months for $20 to $25 a month with keep, which usually means lodging and plenty of coarse, but wholesome, food. In the best farming regions many of the Negroes, some estimate two or three out of five own a horse and carriage, and on Sundays the roads leading to picnic places or country churches show a procession of Negroes in their buggies. The farmer usually agrees to feed the horse and house the carriage, deducting, perhaps, $1 or $2 a month for this favor. One laborer, with no horse, brought along to one of the finest farms in Delaware two pigs, which the farmer fattened for him. The horse is often sold to the Negro by his employer on the installment plan and kept for him all winter if he is not able to pay for it in a single season. The winter season of enforced non-employment of most of the men tends to create irregular habits of industry. Wives and grown daughters are usually able to find work in white families for the winter, but many of them stubbornly decline to remain employed in the summer because their husband or brothers are then earning good wages. Unfortunately the ambition of the Negro is not greatly stirred by his environments; and valuable opportunities are permitted to slip because he apparently fails to see the benefits they produce. The white man, busy with his own concerns, has no time to watch over the fortunes of others, and good them onward in the handling of their individual affairs. The progressive element of the Caucasian family rejoices to behold the upward strides of his brother; and for the sake of enhancing the welfare of the community in which he lives will encourage and aid his endeavors. All the great enterprises that lift mankind in the scale of importance expand through united efforts; and the luxuries they embrace are the fruits of the wealth they produce.—Exchange.

The institute, now 45 years old, has a record of which all who have aided in its upbuilding may well be proud. Discussing in the Survey some of the effects it has had upon Negro life of the south, Sydney Dodd Frissell writes: "The south is an open field for the tradesmen and farmers trained at Hampton. More than 80 per cent. of the tradesmen graduated from the school are engaged in trade work. The complete training as carpenters, bricklayers, blacksmiths or machinists assures Hampton men a place in southern communities and leadership among other people. Many Hampton tradesmen have taken places in the industrial training of their race by directing the trade training of other Negro schools. It is significant that more than a hundred tradesmen and teachers have gone from the parent school to booker Washington at Tuskegee alone. Fully 50 per cent. of the Negro boys from the Hampton shops go out to teach others trades. The success of Negro tradesmen in the competition of modern life in the south is no less striking and important than the teaching of trades to others. In Birmingham, Atlanta, Richmond, Norfolk and Danville Negro graduates of Hampton have become successful contractors. The worth of the training of a trade student is evidenced by the recognition his work receives after graduation. When in a position of trust and sponsibility or as an employer of other workers he may give valuable aid to members of his race who lack his advantages but are striving for a chance. There is a graduate in Atlanta, Ga., who as a contractor has won the confidence of the people. He has the reputation of doing high-class work, equal to that of any contractor in the city. By employing a group of Negro mechanics, whom he holds to a high standard, he proves that the Negro can do other than the rougher and cheaper work. The value of such a man to his race cannot be estimated." Complaints are, sometimes, made relative to the conveniences of which we are often denied; and we deem our lot a hard one because we are withheld from the enjoyment of certain comforts which the white man creates for himself. Those amusements, the hendiwork of his genius, are primarily instituted for his own uplift and that of his progeny; and he interposes no objections if the Negro seeks not to partake. Every avenue through which he travels to accomplish his great designs is open likewise to the Negro for operation along similar lines; and if his ambition does not bestir activity in his own behalf, there are no just grounds for disgruntlement when such favors are withheld. No race is so imbued with the spirit of brotherly love as to elevate another at the expense of his own, nor is it ever willing to recognize conditions detrimental to its personal weal. It is a grave error to surmise that mankind exerts his energy and utilizes his devices with no thought of selfish reward; and he who aspires to revel in his possessions must accept such allotments as his inclinations may choose to grant. An enlightened civilization develops, within any people, a desire for noble enterprises; and a love for the beauty in creation impels actions in its pursuit. The latest bulletin of the United States census shows that the white population was 81,731,957 in 1910, as compared with the Negro population of 9,827,763. The Negroes have increased by nearly 1,000,000 since 1900, when they numbered 8,833,894, and the percentage of Negro to white population has grown slightly, now being 10.7. Of the other colored races in 1910—Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and so on—there were 412,546, or four-tenths of 1 per cent. of the whole population. The material progress of the white man in his every attempt should serve to the Negro as a worthy example for emulation and spur him onward to more daring achievements. Nothing of importance is ever attained save through persistence rightly directed; and zeal enforced by judgment and determination will erect for itself an imperishable monument.

TULSA, OKLA., STAR MOST NUTRITIOUS FOOD MOST NUTRITIOUS FOOD --- BUTTER'S USES OUTSIDE OF COMBINATION WITH BREAD. Should Be Freely Used as a Seasoning and as a Garnishing—Various—Flavors That May Be Added as Desired. The full value of butter, both as an appetizer, as a nourishing article of diet, as a seasoning and as a garnishing, is realized by very few cooks. Butter is really one of the most valuable foods in the larder. It is not merely to spread chunkly on bread—although it is good enough there; it should be made an interesting part of the meals at which it is served. In middle class French families the real value of butter is better understood than it is here. Every morning the butter is left at the door, just as the milk is; and it is fresh, creamy butter, too, for the most part—always fresh instead of salt. The butter is then chilled and shaved into wafer-like strips for breakfast, to be eaten with the rolls that form the body of this meal. At luncheon butter is frequently served—always daintily—with bread and radishes, or some other side dish, as an appetizer. Then, eaten slowly, its goodness can be appreciated. If the making of butter pats or molds is a burden, try making them only once in three days. Keep them in a bowl of ice water in the refrigerator, and they will retain their shape even in the warmest weather. It does sometimes seem troublesome for mald or mistress to have to spend five or ten minutes before each meal making butter pats; but fifteen minutes once in two or three days will be enough for the making of many molds, since the utensils and materials need only be got cut once, and since a certain deftness comes with repeated making, and the second score of butter balls can be made in half the time it took to make the first score. The small wooden molds are easier to manage than paddles, and surely prints of butter from the molds look and taste as well as balls of butter formed with the paddles. To manage the molds, wash them in ice water, and then stamp the butter out carefully, taking care to push the bottom of the mold as far out as possible before removing the print. The butter should be cold when it is printed. Horseradish butter is good with cold meats and it is also delicious to use when making meat sandwiches. To make it, cream two tablespoonfuls of butter, and two of freshly grated horseradish, a tablespoonful of thick cream and half a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Keep it on the ice. Maitre d'hotel butter is used to spread over broiled steak or fish. To make it, cream two tablespoonfuls of butter, add slowly a half teaspoonful of salt, an eighth of a teaspoonful of white pepper, a tablespoonful of lemon juice and the same amount of minced parsley. Parsley butter can be used with vegetables. To make it cream three tablespoonfuls of butter and add a tablespoonful of lemon juice, the same amount of minced parsley and half a teaspoonful of salt. Latest Tea Room Salad. On a border or bed of lettuce hearts was placed on artichoke bottom. Two short tips of asparagus on opposite sides of the artichoke. On the artichoke between the asparagus a generous spoonful of cooked French beans or flageolets.

Served with a rasped roll or brown bread and coffee. Hint for Users of Lamps If you use lamps—and many of us do, even in these days of electric lights—here is an idea that will prove helpful when you find that the chimney has cracked and you have no extra one on hand. The defective chimney may be made to last over by "saddling" one side of the top with a wire hair pin before lighting the lamp. Such a device has been known to keep a damaged chimney from breaking during an entire evening, although when it was taken off the next morning the chimney came away in two pieces.

As far as I knew only one girl disliked her. That girl was spiteful, cross and therefore not very well liked. Do you know what she used to call our idol? A hypocrite. The word bothered me not a little, and I spoke to my chum about it, but she answered in her thoughtful little way; "Well, I guess that maybe Betty is a hypocrite, if being a hypocrite means saying little kind things based on small pretexts and leaving unsaid the unkind things no matter how good a reason there is for saying them; but she's a mighty comfortable person to have around. I wish that the world was full of such hypocrites!"—Christian Herald. HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS For pimples and blackheads the following is a most effective and economical treatment: Gently smear the affected parts with Cuticura Ointment, on the end of the finger, but do not rub.

His mother was able to tell very clearly. Johnny thought a while and then asked: "Mother, why did you marry my dad?" "Johnny, I married your father because he saved me from drowning," replied his mother. "I'll bet that's why pop always tellin' me not to go in swimmin," said Johnny. Lost Opportunity. "It's a great pity," said the convicted burglar to his counsel, "that you couldn't have made that closing speech of yours at the opening of the case." "I don't see how that would have improved matters," said the advocate. "It would, though," explained his client; "then the jury would have been asleep when the evidence came on and I'd have stood some chance." His Wife a Bird. Bacon—Fine feathers do not make fine birds.

FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and a FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is: "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CONTAIN NARCOTICS, if it bears the signature of Chas H. Fletcher. Discovered. TO TEST YOUR APPLICATION Hugo Munsterberg Gives a Simple Way to Conduct Really Interesting Experiment. Have your friends the ability to hold their attention, or does it become quickly fatigued? A simple experiment will show you, writes Hugo Munsterberg in the Youth's Companion. Give each person a column from a newspaper, and have each one cross out with a pencil every letter A and every letter R. Keep an eye on your watch, and when half a minute has passed, say "Now," as a signal for each experimenter to make a mark at the word that he has just reached. Keep this up for five minutes, and then count how many A's and how many R's each one marked in the first half-minute, how many in the fifth, and how many in the tenth, and see how many each person overlooked in each half-minute. Some persons will do well at the beginning, but will soon become inattentive. In the last four half-minutes they will mark few letters, and overlook many. Others will do better in the second and third half-minute than in the first, and their attention will be sharper at the end than at the beginning. She's Notlced.

In writing the opinions of the court on constitutional questions and others demanding a thorough grasp of the fundamental principles of government, the lion's share of the work has fallen to Justice Williams, and properly so, for he bore a conspicuous part in framing that constitution and he is most zealous in vitalizing the principles thereof. A few words about Judge Williams, the man, will not be amiss. He is very generally referred to as "Bob." That in itself is proof that he is a real, red-blooded, companionable human being. Off the bench he is a man of affairs, a business man of recognized ability, and he takes a leading part in the development of the country in a business sense. The judge has an absorbing interest in farm life. He was born and raised on a farm, and has always maintained his interest in the farming industry. He has a farm now, and one of his hobbies is the building of dams and lakes and stocking the waters with fish. He insists that this not only beautifies the landscape, but, that if the plan were generally followed, it would very materially increase the rainfall. Judge Williams great-grandfather was Jonathan Williams born in Connecticut, in 1764, whither his father, some years before emigrated from Wales. Jonathan Williams enlisted in Beardsley's regiment in the Revolutionary Army. After the Revolution he drifted to North Carolina, living there until 1821, when he went to Jones county, Georgia, with a view of settling in the Creek country. This he did in 1824, settling in Pike county, Alabama. In after years the settlement was known as "Williams' Settlement," and the two sons of Jonathan Williams founded what is known as "Williams' Church." Jonathan left two sons, Rev. Elisha and Rev. Simeon Williams. Rev. Simeon Williams had a son by the name of Jonathan Williams, who is the father of R. L. Williams. Bob Williams was born on a farm in the old Williams' Settlement. At sixteen years of age he went to work on his own account, working his way through college to the degree of Master of Arts in Southern University at Greensboro, Alabama. He thinks now he was probably handicapped by his poverty and his shabby clothes, but at any rate he plunged in and fought his way to leadership in intellectual activities in the college. Later he read law with Judge William S. Thorrington, for some time dean of the law department of the University of Alabama, and a member of the Alabama Supreme Court. Judge Williams was admitted to practice in September, 1891, and hung out his shingle at Troy. A few years later he went to Texas because of the call of the wild, Texas was too tame, and in 1896 he The Old Williams Homestead came to the Indian Territory and finally settled at Durant, where he still resides. He was the first city attorney for the town of Durant. As a citizen the judge has always taken an active part in every movement for civic developments. Some have criticised him for dabbling in politics, but this is characteristic of the man. No activity of his home city, county or state, which looks for the betterment of mankind is too small to claim his most vigorous attention. His activity in all public affairs has kept him in close touch with the people, their conditions and needs. He steps in and takes sides whether it be the selection of the aldermen of his home town or the president of the United States. He has always been an enthusiastic democrat, and he comes from a democratic family. He has unbounded faith in the wisdom and virtue of the people as expressed in elections, and to a very marked degree he typifies all that is best in western citizenship. While Judge Williams lives modestly, though amply able to afford luxury, he is not wedded to the dollar. His many acts of kindly helpfulness stump him as a man of broad charity. Last winter he gathered all the newsboys in Oklahoma City together at a leading hotel and gave them a real banquet. In Durant, where he is known best, one hears most of his benefactions.

Whether Judge Williams becomes a candidate for governor, retains his place on the Supreme Bench, or retires to private life, he will continue to be a dominating influence in the development of the state. He has a great capacity for work and his grasp of fundamental principles of government is exceedingly broad and clear. He would make an ideal candidate from a party standpoint, and as a governor of the whole people and a representative of the taxpayers he would certainly fill the Nhl.

Judge Williams has been Birthplace of R. L. Williams. referred to as the John Marshall of Oklahoma. It sounds well, and it really suits the case. Chief Justice Marshall of the Supreme Court of the United States, by his learned and courageous construction of the most progressive constitution up to that time in existence, hammered the loose and discordant elements into a mighty and indissoluble composite, drove the rivets into the frame-work of the world's youngest and greatest national government. Judge Williams, the first chief justice of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma, has wrought similarly in a more restricted field. Two territories, within the borders of each of which but a few years ago the white man was a trespasser, flung together as a sovereign state under the most progressive—or most radical, as some critics would insist—constitution yet evolved; two territories markedly dissimilar from the standpoint of private law and governmental organization, the Indian Territory has never known the semblance of government; a constitution brings with innovations, establishing propositions hitherto mooted—all this presented grave plixties to Oklahoma's high tril. For nearly six years R. L. Williams and his associates on the supreme bench have wrestled untiringly with these problems, often with scant prece dent to light the way. ner Archer and Greenwood TULSA. OKLA. STAR E PUBLIC EYE the Court, A Judge of the Law and of the People. ce of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma. Now that the legislature has adjourned the hotel gossip has turned to the gubernatorial topic, and statesmen and near-statesmen are discussing who will be the democratic candidate for governor next year. "In connection with this talk no name is heard with more persistence than that of Bob Williams. Judge Williams has held a center place in the public eye since long before statehood. He fought valiantly for statehood long before that dream was realized. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention and left his impress on every important section in that document. When the state was admitted to the Union he became its first chief justice. Beginning with statehood every time we have a big election, to choose either a governor or a United States Senator, or both, somehow the name of Bob Williams bobs up. "What about Bob Williams?" has grown to be a familiar question when conversation veers to some big question of public honor or trust or when the state is about to adopt a policy, either civil or political. Meanwhile Judge Williams has gone serenely on, apparently engrossed with his work on the supreme bench, modestly but firmly dealing out justice and laying down a course of procedure which will be followed by the generations to come. Thus far his work on the bench has been of more lasting effect upon the people and the laws than it could have been had he held any other position. The judge has certainly made good in spite of his early patches and poverty, and has achieved a most lofty position in his chosen state. He has always been a very hard worker; a man of dynamic energy and positive opinions. He has the courage to stand for what he regards right; he stands out ruggedly for the honest straightforward statesmanlike things in politics. Away back a decade ago, Judge R. L. Williams was an active factor in Indian Territory politics. He was the democratic national committeeman when a place on the national committee was practically the only representation the eastern part of the state had in the civil government of the country. When the Constitutional Convention was called he was elected as a delegate. He became one of the foremost leaders of that great body of men, and his handiwork may be seen by the student in every vital department of the organic law of the state. As a member of the Constitutional Convention he was placed on the committees on judiciary, revenue and taxation, legislative department, primary elections, legal advisory and public service corporation, and of the last two he was chairman. He was the author of practically all the constructive provisions inaugurated in Article BIG AUTOMOBILE SHOW Visitors to the New State Fair who are interested in the different makes of automobiles will see a display of automobiles at the Fair that will be quite an education.

PATTEPSON MUST FACE SOUTHERN OBJECTIONS The news comes from Washington that Hon. A. E. Patterson, a prominent lawyer of Muskogee has been appointed to succeed J. Napier as registrar of the U. S. treasury. This comes as glad tidings to the friends of Mr. Patterson and to him what as a surprise to the many "prophets" who have maintained that President Wilson could not appoint an Oklahomaan to this office. Mr. Patterson, aside from being a consistent and persistent Democrat, is well qualified to fill the position with credit to both himself and the race. He is a successful business man, a good lawyer and an astute politician. But above all this, he is a true race man. It is regretted that any objection should come from White Democrats of this state to Mr. Patterson's appointment. It only shows the smallness of that class of Southernized Democrats who always oppose Negroes in everything. It remains now to be seen if the Congress of the United States will stoop to appease this little wave of race prejudice. There is no question that the Negro vote decided the victory for the Democratic party last fall and that party is now on trial with the Negro sitting in judgment. True, there is a countless number of hungry White Democrats who need feeding but that is no good reason for denying the Negro just recognition when he has kept faith with the party. Our guess is that Mr. Patterson's appointment will be confirmed and he will be next registrar of the U.S. treasury. New York Hotel Must Open To All Comers The hotels and other public places in New York cannot discriminate against the Colored people and other races after September 1, when the new civil rights law passed by the last legislature goes into effect. Under the new law it is a fine of $100 with imprisonment for the proprietor of any hotel, rooming house or any kind of public place where discrimination is allowed on account of race or color. This is certainly a progressive step on the part of the Empire state and it is hoped that such civilization will eventually come about in other states. M. E. Church Dedication The dedication of the M E church last Sunday was attended by a large crowd of friends and members of the church and a very excellent program was rendered. Captain T. D. Jackson, who was on the program for an address, spent the time allotted to him entogizing Chief Yoder of the city police department for having detailed one of his men to help raise funds which made this dedication possible. The program was a cred it to Rev. Jones, pastor of the church, and was very much enjoyed by those present. The days services ended with a sermon by Rev H. T. S.
