Colored Woman Forced to Ride in Baggage Car! Mialand Valley Ry. Conductor Puts White Men in Jim Crow Car and Removes Lone Colored Woman into the Baggage Car in Front. A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE Vol. 2, No. 13 Colored Mialand Valley R White Men in J Removes Lone C to the Baggage What now appears as the biggest and rankest outrage ever perpetrated against a human being by any railroad in Oklahoma is charged against the Midland Valley railroad by Mrs. Lee Terrell, a colored woman of this city. Mrs. Terrell boarded a M. V. train last Sunday night enroute to Pauhuska, and states that she was alone in the apartment set aside for colored people, when the trainmen ushered thirty or more drunken white men into that apartment. When the train had pulled out from the station the drunken ruffians began tantalizing her, by calling her pet names and otherwise insulting her. She appealed to the conductor for protection and he, instead of complying with the law of the state and removing the brutes from the Jim Crow car, took the woman into the baggage car and compelled her to continue her journey to Pawhuska there among trunks and other baggage. Even dogs were in the baggage car where Mrs. Terrell was forced to ride after paying a first-class fare. Mrs. Terrell has employed lawyers to bring suit against the railroad company. She says she knew one of the white men and he will testify in the case for her. The railroad companies in this state are daily violating the Jim Crow law in this state, and it is certainly time for the corporation commission to look into the matter. The law specifically provides that equal accommodation be given the two races in Oklahoma, but there is not a railroad in the state today complying with the law. Colored people are compelled to pay first-class fares and take inferior and unequal accommodations. On nearly every road a small dingy apartment is set aside for colored people, where men and women must use the same toilet and without any smoking accommodations whatever for the colored men. Often these little Jim Crowed apartments are overcrowded, but on many roads the conductor insists on taking two seats in this apartment for himself and his grips. This is in plain violation of the law and should be stopped. The case of the M. V. conductor putting a woman out of that part of the train set aside for her by the law of this state and putting her in the baggage car is an outrage which should receive the immediate attention of the corporation commission, and every step necessary should be taken to bring him and his company to task for it. Mrs. Terrell says the only apology she received for this harsh treatment was from the train porter, a colored man named Johnson, who asked her not to feel angry with the conductor. SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1914 Mayor Will Appoint Board of Censors Moving Picture Show and Vaudeville Acts to be Regulated A board of censorship for all moving picture and vaudeville shows of Tulsa will soon be appointed by Mayor F. M. Wooden which will pass on all reported suggestive acts and songs played in the many picture and vaudeville houses of this city. This will corrs as a great relief to the many complainants against the two picture shows now running in the East end. It is said that some of the acts in the vaudeville shows out here are very indecent and unfit for any public show. Oil Production Breaks Record PRODUCTION FOR 1913 WILL TOTAL 63,842,259 BARRELS OF OIL State Geological Survey Figures Show the Year Now Ending to Be a Banner One. NORMAN, Okla., Dec. 18.—(Special.)—According to figures in the office of the Oklahoma geological survey here, the production of oil in Oklahoma during 1913 will far exceed that of any other year. While the returns are not final, they are regarded as sufficiently accurate to give a close mation approxifor the year. They are based largely on the returns of pipe line companies and consumption by refineries, supplemented by close estimates for the present month. Writers for the several oil and gas journals who are always close to actual facts of production are in substantial accord with the following figures for year by months. Barrels.

The public will please take notice that Wm. McClain is no longer connected with this paper in any capacity, whatever. This step is taken for purely business reasons. A. J. SMITHERMAN, Editor and Pub. Last year, in that proud and cultured New England state, which is too high-toned to think except with contempt, of such devices as the I. and R., the recall of judges, or the taking over of public utilities in furtherance of the public welfare, more than a third of the sentences to prison were of folks who hadn't the money to pay small fines. The rich lawbreaker hired polished lawyers—if, indeed he had to go to that expense and bother of defending himself at all. But the poor devil down at the bottom of the ladder, when assessed a fine he couldn't pay, was railroaded to a musty cell and kept in the moral rot of a dungeon. Prison reform surely needs stirring up in Massachusetts. for the year will exceed by 7,772,622 barrels the previous record of 1911, which was 56,069,637 barrels. Thus the output exceeded by far the most sanguine hopes of the operators at the beginning of the year. Sufficient returns are not yet at hand to give accurately the average price of oil for the year, but it will probably be not far from 95 cents a barrel. Assuming this average price the total value of oil for the year was about 60,560,146. This amount is greater than the value of the state's total value of all our mineral products amounted to about $53,000,000 and will swell to the total value of our mineral values for 1913 enough to make Oklahoma one of the leaders in mineral production. The total value of gas, coal, cement and other mineral products will be at least as great as for last year, and therefore the total value of all our mineral products for the present year will approximate $80,000,000—Tulsa World, December 19, 1913 The Quill Pushers Meet at Nashville, Tenn.. Next Month Nashville, Tenn., Jain, 12.—Declaring their loyalty to the flag and the constitution of the U. S., and setting forth plans for the moral uplift of their people, the National Press Association has taken definite action in outlining work for the betterment of the Negroes throughout the United States, which will be furthered at the mid-winter session which has been called to meet at Nashville, Friday and Saturday, February 13 and 14. Through this movement they have been able to inaugurate many reforms and to help thousands of their race. It is their plan to get at the true condition of the Negroes of the United States, and to report and expose all crime. To assist in this, they have asked all city, county and state officials to co-operate with them by recognizing their official card and their metal membership badge when shown to officials. Long steps towards the alleviation of many embarrassing conditions are already made. In making this call for a mid-winter session they have issued an address to the country. The address, brief but explicit, was authorized by their national body, which convened i. Philadelphia last August. It says "In this fiftieth year since Lincoln's famous emancipation proclamation, the National Negro Press Association enunciates the following platform of principles for the guidance of the Negro people and the good of the American nation. "1. We believe with the founders of this government that there are INALIENABLE RIGHTS which are the natural dower of every human being born into the world—that the permanent welfare of the nation and of civilization is best advanced by these rights remaining the property of the legitimate owners. "Civilization makes every man his brother's keeper (protector), but no man his brother's owner. Whenever the accident of race, nationality, position, power, color or other physical condition enables one individual, race or nation to ignore or usurp the inalienable rights of another individual, race or nation, the equilibrium of civilization is disturbed and the progress of humanity interrupted. JUSTICE can only come to man when man is JUST. LIBERTY IS FOR ALL OR FOR NONE. "2. The fate of America and the Negro are inextricably bound together. The Negro has nowhere else to go. "We call upon our people to use all their powers to meet the ideals of civilization and the obligations of American citizenship. "3. Race cannot be substituted for fitness as a qualification for citizenship if the land is to re- OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Subscription $1.00 Per Year age Car! Press Ass'n Called Meet at Nashville, ext Month main 'bright with freedom's holy light.' "We believe not only in the separation of church and state, but that a man's inalienable right to earn his bread should not be confused with the privilege of his neighbor's table. Men may be patriotic fellow-citizens without personal fellowship. "Finally, we ask for our people only a square deal; a man's CHANCE to meet civilization's demands of MANHOOD. We think the American people should be willing to grant as a minimum of justice what Abraham Lincoln asked for the Negro: "All I ask for the Negro is that if you do nor like him, let him alone. If God gave him but little, that little let him enjoy." SOCIAL EQUALITY CONFERENCE HEARS AN OUT BREAK FROM A NE GRO PREACHER. Washington, Jan. 8.—Negroes were tonight urged to stop buying musical instruments and sending their children to dancing schools, and advised to spend their money for guns and military education by the Rev. I. N. Ross, pastor of a Washington negro church, speaking to a large crowd assembled to celebrate the birthday of Charles Sumner. The preacher pleaded with the audience to prepare for war for their social, political and industrial rights. "Prepare for war in times of peace is the policy of this nation," he shouted. "It should be your policy, if you wish to break from the oppression, from the fetters of this era of new slavery." Cheered the Prophet. Cries of "We are with you: that's right," greeted the speaker and the audience rose waving handkerchiefs and urging Ross to "go on." When Oswald Garrison Villard of New York vigerously dissented from Ross's advice, the preacher again rose and repeated his decision, drawing another enthusiastic outburst of approval.

It hes long been a problem how to keep our fowls year after year on the same soll and yet have tt fresh and sweet. We planted different crops in our yards after we were through with the breed- ing season. This we found very bene- ficial, but as the yards had to be dug up by hand it required much labor if there were many of them. I found the solution by using portable fences, writes A. E. Van Natta of Indiana tn the Farm and Home. ‘The fences were built of 2x3-inch hemlock joists and 12-inch hemlock boards, 5-foot wire and iron shelf braces. All the lumber was 16 feet Jong. I cut the joists into two 6 and one 4 foot lengths and -nailed a 4-foot piece on the bottom of a 6-foot length “with two 20-penny nails, making a T ‘shape. In one angle the T was placed a 10x12inch japanned shelf bracket fastened by six 1%-nch screws.

Stand up three of the T's eight feet apart and place the cut board on them, letting the 4-foot pieces rest in the inch notches in the board; square the uprights with the edge of the board and nail. We now have one 16- foot section complete, except the wire, The 12-inch board at the bottom is su“eient to prevent the cocks from fighting. This fence is very sightly, and two men can easily shift it wher- ever desired. If you wish to stack it out of the way the screws can be re- moved from the brackets and the 4-foot bases knocked off and replaced, when setting the fence, without much trouble. PIANO BOX POULTRY HOUSES Excellent Shelter Provided for Twelve During Cold Weather at Com- paratively Small Expense. From two piano boxes remove the backs, then place the boxes back to boek and fasten in that position, A door should be cut in one end and a window in the other, the roof could be covered with tarred paper or a piece of old canvas, painted.

This can be easily done, however, by placing a large packing box against one side of the house and fastening it there; all the boards in the box should be removed except the ends and one side which is to serve as a top, A wide board should be nailed along the ground from end to end of the box, this will keep the snow out and also will act as a brace to keep the box togethey. pea a Daring inclement weather fowls are better indoors than out. eee If the hens are not laying the chances are that the fault is with their keeper, eee In an egg of 1,000 grains, 600 be- longs to the white, 300 to the yolk and 100 to the shell.

Adv, Serum Cute Dewn Mortality. In Paris, from 1880 to 1893, before the discovery of the anti-diphtheria serum, diphtheria killed an average of 1,721 persons a year, 2,244 deaths in 1882 and 1,266 in 1890 being the maximum. After Roux discovered his serum, the average of deaths dropped to 348, with a maximum of 736 in 1901 and a minimum of 174 in 1906. ‘Thus, thanks to serotherapy, there is now only one death instead of five, and in some years one instead of seven, or a mortality of six per 100,- 000 inhabitants. In 1895, soon after the serum came into use in Paris, the mortality fell to 9.7 per 100,000, while in London tt was 55.6; In Berlin, 60.1, and in St, Petersburg, 89.9. ; Natural. “Audiences like a lot of spirit in acting.” “Yes, they fairly drink it in” We generally have more sympathy for the under dog than we have for the small potato. 3 ER (Ax, 5? ” tA ~4 = S ANY © 4 aA Gy x /ya\ (5 Bs ‘SE q Zi Pes Ten TELS) " .

Bake in buttered and floured individual tins in a very slow oven. Upon removing from tins sprinkle with powdered sugar. --- Mocha Cake.—Cream one-quarter cup butter, add gradually one cup sugar, two squares Baker's bitter chocolate melted, two eggs well beaten, one-half cup milk, 1 1-3 cups flour mixed and sifted with one-half teaspoon salt and three teaspoons baking powder. Flavor with one teaspoon vanilla. Bake in layer cake-pan and put between and on top. For Frosting—Wash and work until creamy one-quarter cups confectioners' sugar with one-third cup breakfast cocoa, and add to butter alternately with three tablespoons heavy cream, then add one-half teaspoon each vinegar and vanilla. Fall River Orange Cake.—Beat yolks of five eggs and whites of three until thick, add gradually two cups sugar and one-half cup cold water; then add two cups flour mixed and sifted with one teaspoon soda, two teaspoons cream-of-tartar, and the grated rind and juice of one orange and one-half lemon.

Cover with orange frosting made like this: Boil one cup sugar and one-third cup water until it will spin a thread; pour slowly on to the white of egg beaten slightly, and beat until mixture begins to thicken; then add one teaspoon lemon juice beaten until a little stiffer, then cover and let stand a few minutes. Add two tablespoons orange marmalade. Macaroons.—Break one-half pound almond paste into small pieces and mix with the hand, adding gradually a cup of sugar less one tablespoon, and a scant one-half cup egg whites. When perfectly blended stir in one-third cup powdered sugar. Shape, using a pastry-bag and tube, on to sheets covered with thin paper and bake in a slow oven. Remove from oven, invert paper and macaroons, and wet with a cloth wrung out of cold water, when macaroons may be easily removed. Frost and decorate with leaves in the form of wreaths and tie wreaths with a red bow of ornamental frosting made the same as orange frosting, omitting the marmalade and coloring red and green.—Boston Transcript. Plant Foods Plant-foods are necessary to preserve thrift throughout the winter. Some use a tea made from poultry droppings, but extreme care must be taken that it is well diluted, and there is still more or less trouble with insects as a result. We have found liquid ammonia, though a less complete plant food, much more agreeable to use. Using a teaspoonful to each quart of water, keeps the plants in growing condition and with healthy foliage. Fruit Dainty. Two cupfuls seeded white grapes, two cupfuls chopped apples, one cupful celery, one cupful nuts chopped, one cupful marshmallows cut in pieces, one-half cupful candied cherries. Whip one pint or cream, sweetened slightly; two sweet green peppers, dressing just before serving. Fillets of Weakfish Take a three-pound fish, cut off the head and tail, split the fish through the back, and take out the bone; cut these two pieces into four or six, season with salt and pepper. Dip each piece into melted butter; then roll in crumbs and broil on both sides. To Prevent Fat From Sputtering. To prevent fat from spattering, when frying eggs or bacon, put a pinch of flour in the fat. This helps to keep the stove clean and saves you many a burn from the hot fat.

You don't want a slow remedy when your stomach is bad—or an uncertain one—or a harmful one—your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it. Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed in giving relief; its harmlessness; its certain unfalling action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its millions of cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach trouble has made it famous the world over. Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home—keep it handy—get a large fifty-cent case from any dealer and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes headache, dizziness and nausea; eructations of acid and undigested food—remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. Its promptness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is a revelation to those who try it.—Adv. Crazy Snake an Exile. To live during the remainder of his life with an alien tribe in order that he may escape the restraint of civilization and enjoy the liberty and freedom of his fathers is the fate of Chitto Harjo, the Snake Indian chief, who led his people in revolt against the federal and state gomernments in the Creek Indian country of Oklahoma in 1809. He is now with the Niagre Indians in Bolivia, who speak a language similar to that of the Creeks and who enjoy much the same liberties the North American Indians once did. They hunt through the Andes and fish along the Dasaguadero and in the waters of Lake Titucaca. GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color, Gloss, Thickness. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when laded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussey and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv. Ozone Chicks. A poultryman of Waltham, Mass., is using electric ozonizers to reduce mortality in the hatching and brooding of chicks. Ordinarily 24 to 40 hours elapse from the time the first chick peeps forth from its shell until the last one appears. But the use of ozone invigorates the chicks as indicated by a recent hatching which came out in ten hours. Calumet the Secret of Economy The high cost of living nowadays, and the way prices are steadily climbing skywards, is making economy in the kitchen even more important than it was in the good old days of our thrifty ancestors. But how to achieve economy? There's the real. In many lines, it depends almost entirely on the housewife's knowledge of foods and on her watchfulness—but fortunately, in one line, baking, economy can be made almost automatic by the use of the famous Calumet Baking Powder. Economy in baking, as every good cook knows, depends not so much on economy in buying the materials as on the success of her bakings. Failures mean waste—biggest failure, the most makes in buying. And the fact that Calumet absolutely prevents failures and makes every baking successful has made it the favorite of every cook that seeks to be economical. In other words, Calumet is the secret of economy in baking. It is the purest, too-attested by hundreds of leading physicians—and as for little things, too-attested enough that Calumet has received the highest awards at two world's Pure Food Expositions—one in Chicago, Ill., and the other in Paris, France, in March, 1912. Adv. The girl who marries her ideal generally lives to discover that there isn't any such thing. TULSA. OKLA., STAR At MacLeod, Alta., weather conditions were excellent all through the season. Ninety per cent of the wheat up to Oct. 1st graded No. 1, the only No. 2 being fall wheat. The yield ranged from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, with an average of 28. Oats yielded well, and barley about 60 bushels. Inverary is a new district in Alberta. Here wheat graded No. 2 and some of it went 50 bushels to the acre, oats going about 75 bushels. Lethbridge correspondent says: "In the Monarch district the yield on summer fallow is averaging thirty-five bushels, a large percentage No. 1 northern." "All spring grains are yielding better than expected in the Milk river district, south. A 300 acre field of Marquis wheat gave 411% bushels. "Experimental farm results on grain sown on irrigated land place 'Red Fife' wheat in the banner position, with a yield of 59.40 bushels per acre. Oats yielded 132 bushels to the acre. "John Turner of Lethbridge grew barley that went 60 bushels to the acre. "Red Fife averages in weight from 60 to 68 pounds, and at Rosternhe the Marquis wheat will run as high as 64 pounds to the bushel, while a sample of Marquis wheat at Arcola weighed no less than 68 pounds to the bushel. This variety is grading No. 1 hard." Calgary, Alta., Oct. 8.—The problem of handling Alberta's big grain crop is becoming a serious one, and there is a congestion at many points in southern Alberta. One thousand cars could be used immediately. The C. P. R. prepared for a normal year, while the yield of grain was everywhere abnormal, with an increased acreage of about 23 per cent. Moose Jaw, Sask., returns show some remarkable yields. Bassano, Alta., Sept. 25, '13.—Individual record crops grown in Alberta include 1,300 acre field of spring wheat grown near Bassano which went thirty-five bushels to the acre and weighed sixty-six pounds to the bushel. Noble, Alta., Oct. 1, '13.—All records for the largest shipment of grain by one farmer will be broken this year if the estimate of C. S. Noble of Noble, Alberta, proves correct. Mr. Noble has notified the Canadian Pacific Railway here that he will have 350,000 bushels of grain, chiefly barley and oats, ready for shipment very shortly. L. Anderson Smith, writing to a friend in the Old Country, located at Killam, Alberta, Says: "Anyone taking up land will find Alberta an ideal province. The soil is a rich black loam, varying from 6 to 12 inches in depth. The land here in this district is not wholly open prairie. At intervals, sometimes closely, sometimes widely scattered, there are small plots of poplar and willows. These generally grow round some small depression in the land, and the snow drifts here in the winter and melts in the spring filling these sloughs (province "slews") with soft water. Nearly all these sloughs have old buffalo tracks to them, for it was from them that they always got their water. The poplars are very useful for building barns and hen-houses. Wild grasses are plentiful, while tame grasses, such as timothy, brome and western rye grass do remarkably well. —Advertisement. Women Freemasons. Will the far-reaching reforms in the constitution of Freemasonry now under consideration lead to the admission of women to the lodges? Female lodges, though not formally recognized by the governing authorities, have existed in France since 1785, and there are several such in Paris at the present time. The usually accepted statement that only one woman, the Hon. Mrs. Aldworth, has ever been elected a Freemason in England is erroneous, for several other instances are on record. In the United States, Mrs. Salome Anderson attained high position in the order and was elected a trustee of the Masonic temple.

Good Bowels Are An Aid to Growth Whenever You Need a General Tonlo Take Grove's Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic Is Equally Valuable as a General Strengthening Tonic, Because it Acts on the Liver, Drives Out Malaria, Enriches the Blood and Builds Up the Whole System.

We mean it. 500 Growing Children Need a Mild As a child grows older it requires more and more personal attention from the mother, and as the functions of the bowels are of the utmost importance to health, great attention should be paid to them. Diet is of great importance, and the mother should watch the effect of certain foods. A food will constipate one and not another, and so we have a healthy food like eggs causing billiousness to thousands, and a wholesome fruit like bananas constipating many. It is also to be considered that the child is growing, and great changes are taking place in the young man or young woman. The system has not yet settled itself to its later routine. A very valuable remedy at this stage, and one which every growing boy and girl should be given often or occasionally, according to the individual circumstances, is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and tonic combined, so mild that it is given to little babies, and yet equally effective in the most robust constitution. At the first sign of a tendency to constipation give a small dose of Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and prompt action will follow in the morning. It not only acts on the stomach and bowels but its tonic properties build up and strengthen the system generally, which is an opinion shared by Mr. John Dey of Bloomfield, N. J. He has a large family and at ages where the growth and development POOR HAND AT GEOGRAPHY Tramp's Comment Worth the Dinner It Cost New York Philosopher and Author to Hear It. He was a poor, bedraggled, "down-and-out," working Sixth avenue. In the course of his efforts he encountered John P. Wilson, soldier of fortune, actor, philopher, scribbler, poet and author of the book of 'America' at the New York hippodrome. "What's the matter with you?" demanded Wilson, as he allowed himself to be "panhandled" for a dime. "Oh, I guess I'm up against it because I never went west, where the money is," responded the unfortunate. "It's a fact, I never was 20 miles away from Fourteenth street and Broadway in my life." "Well, you don't see any money hanging on me, and I lived 3,000 miles west of there all my days," retorted the author-actor good naturely. "Three thousand miles!" gasped the tramp. "Three thousand miles! Why, how are things in Australia?" And wilson thought it good enough to dash to the nearest cafe to tell to the loungers. Belated Privilege. "He is opposed to woman's rights. Says they get along better with privileges." "Yes, he's the kind of man who lets a woman stand in the street car until a block away from his destination and then acts as if he hadn't noticed her before and insists that she accept his seat." "It is often impossible to distinguish silence from wisdom." "Naturally! Because it is often the same thing."—Boston Evening Transcript. The Reason. "Smith is tired of life's daily grind." "What's his business?" "Hand organ." Of course you are lucky. Just think of the many times lightning failed to strike you. 1910 MARIE DEY must be watched. Little Marie has thrived especially well on Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Mr. Dey considers it the right laxative for young and old and has found none better for young children. The use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will teach you to avoid cathartics, salts and pills, as they are too harsh for the majority and their effect is only temporary. Syrup Pepsin brings permanent results, and it can be conveniently obtained of any nearby druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. Families wishing to try a free sample bottle can obtain it postpaid by addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 203 Washington St., Monticello, Ill. A postal card with your name and address on it will do. This Doctor Freezes Warts. Doctor Buttinger, a German physician, treats warts by spraying them for one minute with ethyl chloride. This, he says, lowers considerably the temperature of the wart and produces a sort of congealing of the horny tissue. If the treatment be repeated every alternate day the wart will gradually dry up, become smaller and eventually disappear. In the case of large, deeply rooted warts he recommends that they be cut before being treated. The Cause. "They say they've made a failure with eugenics in Milwaukee." "Serves 'em right.

Now is a good time to begin cleaning up your premises for Spring. The fellow who seeks to elevate himself by crushing under foot his less fortunate brother will some day wake up to find himself a sad failure. The Negro press of the country is doing more for the betterment of the race than any other known agency—and yet our people are sadly lacking in appreciation. The picture shows in the east end are circulating handbills daily. These shows are for colored people only—but these handbills are not printed by your colored printer. Why? Any man who circumnavigates the globe three times and acquires nothing more than the title of a professional tramp, with his other natural proclivities for graft and thievery, is not a very apt pupil in the school of HONESTY. There is a growing demand in Tulsa for rent houses and he is a wise man who is able and will take advantage of this opportunity. 1000 houses could be rented in less than a week. People are actu 1000 houses could be rented in less than a week. People are actually living in houses built with refused lumber, dry goods boxes, etc., for lack of something better. THE TULSA STAR Printing and Publishing Co., is an enterprise of Tulsa colored people having for its chief aim the betterment of our people in this community. To scaredly guard the best interest of our own people and at the same time conserve our own interest. We are here working for the people of this community and we are entitled to your support whether we get it or not; and you are entitled to as good service, quality and quantity as the same money will afford elsewhere. Look about you now and see if the people we are working for (and you are one of these) and see if you think they are doing their duty by us. The afternoon half of the Tulsa World has thrown several fits this week about "nigger" hotel porters. Funny when this style of cuss runs out of dope to write about that he invariably pounces upon the poor defenceless Negro. If the Negro porters of Tulsa have violated any law, arrest them. The judges and juries are all white men and the Negro would have no show to escape punishment. But these Negro porters are doing what their white employers hired them to do, and we do not believe any of them are hired to violate the law. These Negro porters, though humble so far as employment goes are a part of the body politic, and must some how eke out a liveli hood. Why begrudge this, Mr. Cass? It is conspicuously apparent that the close student and observer of the present day and time that the lines of race restriction and race prejudice on the part of the dominant white race are being more strictly drawn and the gulf of distinction widening more and more as the years go by and the races come in contact with each other from time to time. Seeking the cause for this unjust discrimination we are heI to believe it is due largely from the rapid strides the Negro is making in advancement along the several pursuits of civilization and progress. The white race is evidently in fear of the Negro as a competitor in the triumphs of modern advancement and progress. If this is not the cause why should he bear down so severely with his heartless and unprovoked malice and hatred (his unwonted selfishness and pride eating away the very vitals of the Negro's hope and ambition), just because he is in the ascendency and has the advantage? But, being optimistic, we glean some satisfaction from this unfair and undeserved treatment of the Negro race. It, to our way of thinking, is a means to an end. We as a race are far from being in harmony and bound together for a common cause and purpose. We are literally being forced to join hands for a common defense. Perhaps, too, it's God's way of sting our fortitude and valor, and bringing us together. To meet this onslaught of race prejudice our people must group their interests, combine their financial, moral and religious forces, and form a united effort in everything elevating and progressive in an intelligent race seeking the higher and lofty ideals of living. We can not successfully cope with this monster race prejudice and restriction until we ourselves have become united and harmonized, respected of the members of our race and loyal to each individual effort made to secure an independent standing in the avenues of enterprise and business. The race must get together in every worthy movement and assimilate its aims with a view to the common good of the race at large. The crisis is here and we must meet it with a united, harmonious and cemented front. THE BLACKEST LIE. There are many kinds and styles of lies and various ways of telling them, but the blackest, meanest, vilest and most contemptable lie of all of them is that lie which is partially substantiated by certain circumstances or in a way corobated by some few apparent facts. In other words, a screwed liar can take one or two admitted facts and ad to them certain circumstances, and weave a net of lies so conclusive, so convincing that he can make almost any man believe him, even against his will. Such li is the blackest of lies and they are usually told by the lowest, meanest, TULSA. OKLA., STAR Right in the Heart of TULSA The Americanl Nationa J. W. MNEAL, C. P. ALEXANDER, Vice President. T.

An American contractor took some mules into Mexico for use upon some construction work there, and upon the completion of the contract brought the mules back to Texas. The customs officials insisted upon his paying duty, but the contractor claimed free entry for the mules as "articles of American growth returned without being advanced in value." The officials declared, however, that the board of appraisers has sustained them that mules are not "articles." What, then, are they? If they are persons, they are certainly entitled to come back home. Since the decision that a hen is not a bird, the customs service has got its natural history fearful. i When you think of | CA NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY ws ) you naturally think of Biscuit.

As to What Law Applies To This Case. Washington.—Compensation for the stupendous loss of life and property when the liner Titanic went to the bottom of the ocean is up for consider- ation by the supreme court. On the outcome of the argument of some of America's leading admiralty lawyers will depend whether the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, owners of the Titanic, must face the payment of about $13,000,000 claims or whether its liability is to be limited to some $90,000. Intricate questions of law which have perplexed legal minds of the United States and Great Britain ever since the Titanic's maiden voyage was ended by the iceberg's fatal blow and which have not yet been decided by the British courts will be up for decision. The steamship company seeks to have the American court hold the admiralty laws and rules of the United States applicable to the case and thereby limit the liabilities of the company to the salvage from the wreck and the passenger and freight money received on the voyage, amounting in all to about $90,000. Claimants seeking to recover for loss of lives, baggage and freight have sent almost a score of lawyers to the supreme court with briefs in their behalf. Claimants contend that the American law does not apply, because the disaster occurred on the high seas. Furthermore, it is contended that the American law contemplates limitation of liability only when the disaster results from the collision of two vessels and not when it occurs from striking an iceberg. Some of the lawyers also argue that British law fixes the liability of the owner because the Titank carried the British flag. Should the British law be held applicable and should it be found that the disaster occurred without the owners' fault or privity, the damages recoverable by the claimants under British law, it is said, would be about $3,000,000. Should it be held the disaster occurred through the owner's fault or privity, it will be liable for full damages, now claimed to be about $13,900,000. REFUGEES A SERIOUS PROBLEM Army On the Border Has Many Mexicans To Care For. Washington.—All the Mexican federal soldiers now in the custody of the United States border patrol forces at Presidio, Texas, will be transferred to Fort Bliss and interned there indefinitely. Secretary Garrison ordered the transfer with permission to the refugee women and children to accompany the soldiers if they desire. About three thousand Mexicans and officers fled across the Rio Grande when the victorious constitutionalists entered Ojinaga, and with them, besides many women and children, are some 100 civilian refugees. The civilians are not prisoners and will be allowed to go wherever they wish, though those desiring to remain in American territory will have to satisfy the immigration officers. With Presidio sixty miles from the nearest railroad, it will be a difficult undertaking to get the army of prisoners to its haven. LATEST IN THAW CASE New York to Oppose His Release On Ball Bonds. Albany, N. Y.-Attorney General Carmody will appeal to the United States supreme court, if necessary, should Judge Aldrich of the federal circuit court permit Harry K. Thaw's release on bail. He also will take steps to stay any such order by Judge Aldrich pending final disposition of the case by the higher court. In announcing this determination the attorney general expressed the opinion that in entertaining Thaw's application for release Judge Aldrich had exceeded his authority. Mr. Carmody would regard the release of Thaw under bond as equivalent to giving him his permanent freedom, he said. Are you really "acquainted" with them?

START TODAY ELDERS STRICT AS TO DUTY Observance of the Sabbath Most Rigidly Enforced in Scotland in the Sixteenth Century. "The Devil to Pay The expression, "The d and no pitch hot," had its o ship yard. When calking th the deck it was important The sixteenth century practice of the elders in Scotland of going the rounds to pick up offenders against Sunday rules survived until the eighteenth century. Mr. Thoman, in his "Weavers' Craft," gives details of the "bag;" "The minister himself would make the rounds to spy with his own eyes the sins of the absentees. Here one man is found romping with his bairns; another detected kissing his wife; two men were found drinking ale, and one was found with his coat off, as if he were going to work; and still another was seen eating a hearty dinner. All were pulled up before the session of the kirk and 'repentances' enforced upon each." And now one can understand the whereof of the drawn blind on the Sabbath, which struck James Payn as astonishing in the Edinburgh of the sixties. Might Be True. "Hear about Wombat? Four years ago he left home to match a sample. Now he returns and says he couldn't get it matched." "Wife accept that explanation?" "We accept that explanation.

"Don't you notice how bad the air is in this car?" asked the fussy old lady of the railroad conductor. "Yes, I do," replied the polite official, "I guess the last time they filled the airbrakes they got a bad lot of air." However, a good-natured friend is sometimes an enemy in disguise. SKIN CLEARED. By Simple Change In Food. It has been said by a physician that most diseases are the result of indigestion. There's undoubtedly much truth in the statement, even to the cause of many unsightly eruptions, which many suppose can be removed by applying some remedy on the outside. By changing her food a Kan. girl was relieved of an eczema which was a great annoyance to her. She writes: "For five months I was suffering with an eruption on my face and hands which our doctor called eczema and which caused me a great deal of inconvenience. The suffering was almost unbearable. "The medicine I took only gave me temporary relief. One day I happened to read somewhere that eczema was caused by indigestion. Then I read that many persons had been relieved of indigestion by eating Grape-Nuts. "I decided to try it. I liked the taste of the food and was particularly pleased to notice that my digestion was improving and that the eruption was disappearing as if by magic. I had at last found, in this great food, something that reached my trouble. "When I find a victim of this affliction I remember my own former suffering and advise a trial of Grape-Nuts food instead of medicines." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The expression, "The devil to pay and no pitch hot," had its origin in the ship yard. When calking the seams of the deck it was important that the oakum in those seams should be kept dry. This was done by "paying," or in other words filling the seams with hot pitch, which was done with a long-handled mop made especially for that use. If a sudden shower should come up and wet the oakum before the seam was "payed" or filled with pitch, the fresh water would rot the oakum and there would be "the devil to pay."

My arms and back were affected almost as badly. The pimples would fester and there would come a dry scab on top. The trouble caused my face to be disfigured badly and the itching would bother me so I could not sleep well nights, especially during warm weather. "The trouble lasted me three long years without anything doing me any good until a friend told me about Cuticura Soap and Ointment and then I decided to try them. After the first application I could see some improvement. After using Cuticura Soap and Ointment two weeks I did not look like the same person; most of the pimples had disappeared. At the end of four weeks I was completely cured." (Signed) Miss Mamie Mitchell, Jan. 9, 1913. The Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The Hampton Normal and Agricultural institute, Hampton, Va., aims to fit young men and women to do well and in an uncommon way the common tasks of life. Students are taught to handle their tasks like skilled work- men. They have for their work an excellent equipment and they are expected and required to take the best possible care of the school's property. They receive financial credit for their work and they are required to keep a strict account of all they earn and On December 14, engineered and directed by W. Woods White, philanthropist and progressive thinker, there was gathered at Atlanta the most notable and epochal meeting of the negroes ever held in the south, if not in America. Between 8,000 and 10,000 representative negroes of Atlanta, 32 churches and pastors of all denominations, meeting for a common jointreligious purpose, assembled in the great Atlanta auditorium and were addressed by leading preachers of their own race, by leading preachers of the white race of Atlanta, by Governor Slayton of Georgia, by bankers, business men and editors. The object of the meeting was to persuade the negroes, out of their own means, to erect a Y. M. C. A. building at Atlanta, with the assurance that if they did this thing the general public would co-operate with them more liberally than it had ever done before. The great objective lesson was to persuade the negro to help himself in this matter, and the speeches were of the best ever made in Atlanta in many years. Negroes themselves contributed $4,000. The most valuable result of the meeting was the education of the negro in the great policy of self-help and of confidence in the good will of the white race. The results have already been remarkably inspiring. The Southern Baptist convention of Louisville passed resolutions pledging southern sentiment and to the help of that new race. The white preachers of Atlanta frequently leave their own pulpits on Sunday morning to go out and preach the saving grace of character, thrift and self-help in the negro churches. The effect of this better spirit is widespread throughout the south. It has almost revolutionized the feeling between the two races. It has inspired the negro to greater expressions of sacrifice and industry that he has ever shown before, and he is accumulating both property and public institutions in a gratifying way. Apparatus for coupling ordinary vehicles behind automobiles, so flexible that sharp corners can be turned, is the invention of an eighteen-year-old California boy. In making a trip through the south a few weeks ago, I discovered cases where colored teachers were not receiving more than $10 a month for their service for teaching a public school, writes Booker T. Washington. This indicates the sacrifice that many colored teachers are making throughout the south in order to give the negro children some education. It is for teachers and pupils of this class for a number of years I have made an appeal to the public for Christmas cards, books or any other gift that will remind these people, who are doing the nation's work under such difficulties, of the Christmas season. It is most helpful for them to be reminded that there is somebody on the outside who is thinking of them and cares for them. I should be very glad to serve as a medium for the forwarding to such persons whatever gift that may be sent to me. According to the geological survey there is good reason to believe that Louisiana is underlaid by one of the greatest natural gas fields in the United States. CAN CULLINGS spend during their training. The Hampton institute is properly regarded as an educational force of exceptional worth. The illustration herewith is a picture of a Hampton student reading the Bible to the old folks. This represents very clearly Hampton's idea of training boys and girls for unselfish service. Instructors, supporters and well-wishers of the institute have been pleased to hear it referred to as "The Hampton spirit." Chicago has a hospital in which young Negro women are successfully taught to become trained nurses. It is he Provident hospital, at Dearborn and 36th streets. Robert McMurdy writes in the Survey: "The hospital is really and distinctly a Negro enterprise. Founded twenty years ago with the purpose of affording colored women the nurse's training, it was then the only institution of its kind in this country, except the government hospital. Freedmen's, at Washington. Through its earlier years it was managed by colored people and even to this time members of both races are on staff and board of trustees. It is supported largely by colored people. Its endowment started from the pathetic bequest of an old colored woman, who, dying, had just $50 to leave after providing for her burial. Her direction was: 'Give it to two charities established for my people, one half going to Provident hospital.' To this 'widow's mite' have been added generous gifts from friends of all races sympathizing with the alm of Provident and enthusiastic over its splendid record of achievement. It has graduated over 118 nurses and has now in training twenty-five colored women." After a month's visit at this hospital Sophie P. Palmer answered the question of whether these Negresses made efficient nurses. She said: "From the standpoint of order dignity and technical skill the nursing force of this hospital seems to compare more than favorably with hospitals of the same size and class in other cities where the nursing service is composed of white women." "When the Provident students took their training in dietetics at Northwestern university," adds Mr. McMurdy, "their record was in no way inferior to that of the white students! in similar classes of the School of Domestic Arts and Sciences they took the lead. Recently a graduate took a civil service examination in Chicago. Falling at the first test she passed later at the head of a class of fifty-four. And these nurses not only maintain their average but show in crises the skill, endurance and devotion which is rightfully expected from the nurse, regardless of her color." Women always say their husbands coax them to go away for the summer—and sometimes this is the truth. The city of London, Mo., lays claim to the distinction of having the oldest public school pupil in Missouri, if not in all the United States. "Aunt" Mary Long, a negress, has started out to acquire an education at the age of eighty-three years. With a score of other negroes, most of whom have passed the half century mark, she is learning the "A.B.C's" in a recently organized night school class. "Aunt" Long is physically spry, mentally alert and the star pupil of the class. Thirty families and 80 guests at the Perry hotel, Woodland avenue and East Twenty-second street, Cleveland, Ohio, were driven into the street when fire damaged a three-story brick building which housed the hotel, the Perry theater, a bank and several stores and family suites. John Caldwell, a negro, who was sleeping in the rear of the building, ran through the structure, arousing the occupants. His brave act, in the face of personal danger, resulted in the saving of many lives. EAGLE LOAN CO. CORNER FIRST AND BOSTON We Make Loans on Anything of Value.

Mr. Rogers is surpassing any of his predessessors in the business here in giving his patrons high-class entertainment, both in the picture features and in vaudeville. Mrs. Rogers, his wife, who, he admits, is the life of the business, with her smiles and kindness is ever ready to note the pleasure and displeasure of their patrons, and this accounts for their continued success.
