Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, And The Knights And Ladies of Harmony of The World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction Welcome National Negro Business Men! Historian Republican Candidate For Governor Makes Anti-Negro CamPaign SAYS REPUBLIGAN LEGISLATURE PASSED FIRST "JIM CROW" LAW-AND THAT NONE OF THE PRESENT LAWS OF THIS STATE AFFECTING THE NEGRO WILLE BE CHANGED WHILE HE IS GOVERNOR A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE Official Organ of The Vol. 2, No. 42. Welcome Republican For Gover Anti-Neg SAYS REPUBLICAN LEGISL CROW" LAW—AND THAT LAWS OF THIS STATE WILLE BE CHANGED ARDMORE, Okla., Aug. 10—(Special.)—John Fields, candidate for governor on the Republican ticket, spoke to a large audience here Monday night and told the voters of Carter county what his policies would be as governor. This part of Oklahoma, has long been regarded as a Democratic stronghold, and it has not been the custom of Republican gubernatorial candidates to campaign here. Mr. Fields said it was his purpose to be governor for all the people of Oklahoma and for that reason he would meet and talk to voters in all the counties. Every where Democrats are promising him their support. During his speech Mr Fields said: "I have been asked today what my attitude will be on matters involving the various prases of the Negro question. "The separate school question is settled The present law was enacted by a Republican legislature and signed by a Republican governor. Four Democratic legislature have not changed it. It seems satisfactory to all of us. It suits me and it will remain unchanged while I am governor. "The seperate coach question is settled. The present law suits the great majority of the people of Oklahoma. It suits me and it will not be changed while I am governor. "Unlike Senator Gore, I shall not appoint negroes to positions of authority over white men and women. "The conditions under which Negroes may vote are determined by a specific provision of our state constitution. This cannot be changed except by a vote of the people. It will be my sworn duty to enforce the constitution and the laws of the state. I shall make no exceptions. "Any attempt to inject the negro question into this campaign will be for the purpose of binding you to the real issues by stirring up the ashes of the dead past, so that you cannot clearly see your preant duty. The above shows the calibre of the man Fields who seeks to be Governor o' Oklahoma on the Republican ticket. We reproduce it here for the benifit of the Negroes who have heretofore blindly voted the republican ticket for some imaginary debt they believed they owed the grand old party. Nintyfive per cent of the Negroes of this country have for years clung to the republican party as avowed enemies to the democratic party TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY August 15, 1914. very much to their own political detument, while the white republicans busied themselves stiring up antipathy in the Negroes heart against democrats for legislation for which the republican have been largely responsible. However, this is a thing of the past now among the intelegnt Negroes. It is almost impossible now for the schrudest politician to "case" the Negro vote, because we vote in all the parties with Odds in favor of the men, regardless of party lines who we believe to be for a square deal to every citizen. Fields can never convince the 35000 Negro voters of Oklahoma that he is such man. His speech at Ardmore would disprove any claims he might lay to a strictly honest, square deal policy. His reference to Senator Gore was a mean base political trick, for beneath any true gentleman, and enough to cause every Negro in the state to vote the democratic ticket this fall, and most of them will. The day of the little petty politician who has nothing to bring the people except the remnant of an old time campaign issue "The Negro Problem" will pass into oblivian with John Fields at the polls this fall when the next democrat governor will be elected. The Meeting of The League The State of Oklahoma has thrown open her doors to welcome the National Negro Business Men's League, which meets at Muskogee, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week, and the eyes of the United States are focused on Oklahoma. Great things are expected of us, because in the past we have met this national organization of business men and painted in gay colors the wonderful possibilities of our state. Such persistent boosters we have been that two years ago, when this great body met at Chicago, Muskogee was named as the place of meeting for the League in 1914. Thus our hand has been called, and we must "show 'em," as we promised to do when we met them at Chicago and asked them to hold their annual meeting with us. While there is no doubt that the League will be well entertained by the local and state Leagues, there is a general feeling of regret that we did not have the opportunity to bring this great organization to Oklahoma Oklahoma Honored With Presence of The World's Greatest Living Negro humanity. Thus it is that Oklahoma is delighted to do honor to the great distinguished ed guest, who comes to us now at the head of the greatest Negro organization in the world—The National Negro Business Men's League, the product of his own fertile brain, upon which hangs the greatest hopes for the race in America. This organization had its birth in the city of Boston 14 years ago, and each year since that time this great body has met in different cities in the United States and each meeting has been without dissension or disruption, and it has invariably left behind it the good influence of its head and leader. Therefore, the citizens of Oklahoma, white and black, are especially honored to have the privilege of extending an open hand of welcome to the matchless leader and his magnificent body of organized Negro Business Men who comes to us with their 14th annual session, bringing with them new hope, new ambition and a new message, which will sound throughout the universe chimes of a young race's wonderful progress. We welcome you, Dr. Washington, and your noble followers, to the confines of our great young rich state and we trust that when you depart from us you will leave with a memory fresh and full of the generous hospitality lavished up you by the best white and black people in the world. Amen. visitors who will come for the sole purpose of being convinced about Oklahoma. It would have been better had this convention been postponed until in the fall, but since it was not Oklahoma will nevertheless carry out the program as arranged, and acquit The above is a cut from the very latest photograph of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the peerless leader of the Negro race, who is sometimes referred to as the greatest living American. Certainly there is no man in America who is better known than this great educator. Born a slave in the hills of Virginia, he has passed through the darkest ages of American history, undergone many hardships and struggles in his desire for eduction, mastered all pending obstacles, reached the highest possible point of useful citizenship and today stands in the front ranks of the world's greatest men. This, in brief, is the history of our own Booker T. Rulers of the greatest nations on earth have honored him because they recognized in him the wonderful powers of leadership, and his great personal magnetism. He has never spent an idle day because from early youth his life has been consecrated to the uplift of his people and he has pursued his ambition every day of his life since he graduated from the Hampton institute. Not only has he been of immeasurable service to the people of his own race, but his remarkable influence has been felt throughout the land. He has given to the world its greatest system of industrial education, and today in almost all parts of the globe may be seen the fruits of his life's labors for a few years ago, when we could have better received and entertained them. The country has undergone many unfavorable changes in the last two years and as a result we are now unable to give a very favorable impression of our state to the thousands of Subscription $1.00 Per Year ess Men! Of Interest To U. O. of O. The Special Circular, containing the propositions for new laws to be voted on at Boston by the Odd Fellows B. M. C. are just getting out. The delay seems to be a sharp trick to sneak up on the brethren and catch them napping. These new laws proposed by Hutchinson Lodge, (Grand Master Morris' Lodge) are the most revolutionary ever submitted to any B. M. C. in the history of Odd Lallowship. In a word the final control of the Order in the United States is to be surrendered to England. Appears in cases against members of the S. C. M. or District Grand Lodge officers in the States must be made, argued and adjudicated not at Philadelphia but in England. The real government of the Order, the pride of the Negro race in America, is to be cowardly surrendered to the Order in England. This order is the Negro's best boast of his ability to govern himself, and this sacred heritage of the race is sought to be sacrificed by Hutchinson Lodge, the Negro is, by it, to contess his inability to control his fraternal affairs, and is to turn it over to white men in England to control for him. It must not be forgotten that this same lodge of Grand Master Morris gave to the Order the law creating the Supreme Court of the Order. The Grand Master was on a pleasure trip in England not long since, at the expense of the Order, and he comes back fresh from the home of Kings and Dukes to turn the order from the responsible hands of the Negro in America into the hands of seas. Strange things come from men who wish to rule forever. The proud boast of every race-loving Negro Odd Fellow is to be offered up on the altar of selfish ambition and greed for power forever. Get a circular and read for yourself, and then let the manly Negro Odd Fellow go to Boston and save his noble Order from this cowardly surrender. —Richmond Planet. Sapulpa Prisoners Brought to Tulsa FEARING MOB VIOLENCE CREEK CO. SHERIFF RE- MOVES NEGROES Fearing mob violence Sheriff King if Creek county brought to Tulsa Wednesday night the two Negroes from Sapulpa who were held in jail there charged with the murder and robbery of M. Bourne, an employee in the Frisco railroad yards at Sapulpa, who was shot and killed last Sun-day night. Feeling ran high against the prisoners at Sapulpa and the sheriff removed them to Tulsa for safe keeping. Doule Hix and Emmet Felkner, alias "Nation Red" are the men charged with the crime. Sheriff King is entitled to commendation for safe-guarding his prisoners, although it would have been more to his credit to have stood his ground with the backing of the law and good guards in defiance of the mob. Tulsa will join hands with Muskogee in receiving and welcoming the National Negro Business Men's League. STEGE RETURNING WITH ROWE, NEGRO GUNMAN Harry Stege, who was sent to Edmonton, Canada, after Douglass Rowe, negro, wanted here for shooting Detective Rice, has started on his way home with the captive and is expected in Tulsa before Monday, according to word received here today by the police.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year - - - - - - $1.00 Six Month - - - - - .60 Three Month - - - - .35 The European war, which is drawing upon the foreign element in the United States for soldiers, should make openings for Negro labor. For many years past a certain class of work in this country has been done by foreigners, many of whom are answering the call of their mother countries for field service in their armies. Crop conditions in Oklahoma are not so favorable as they were early in the summer. Hot winds have damaged the prospects for a good cotton crop. The present estimate is about 64 per cent. Recent reports state that in certain sections of Lincoln county large cotton growers are about ready to bring in their first bale. A large number of Negroes registered and voted at the Democratic primaries held in this state recently. Many of them had local interests and registered so as to be able to vote at the primaries. Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Muskogee and Bartlesville cast the largest Negro vote for the Democrats and none of them seem to regret their change. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, meets in Tulsa next year and we promise for the live people of Tulsa that the entertainment during that session will be the best ever. Tulsa has become the great convention center. We have halls, large enough to accommodate any meetings and the people of the city never fall to do their duty, by way of making things pleasant for strangers. The Death of Mrs. Wilson We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the President of the United States, the first lady of the land, mistress of the White House. After a happy installation into the social duties of the White House and the marriage of two daughters from the parlors of the Presidential home, the mother and the wife was so suddenly called away. In giving expression for our peoples—the American Negro—we, the humblest of the American people, feel the deepest sorrow that "our" president in the midst of a trying ordeal, in the time of great effort for the good of our country should have taken from him the companion of his life the mother of his household. The whole nation mourns with him. The meeting of the National Negro Business Men's League at Muskogee, promises to be a monster meeting. From all sections of the country report come in that preparations are being made for large representation of professional and business men. It is the duty of every man and woman in the state to attend this great meeting of the representative men and woman of the race who will be in Muskogee to discuss measures and devise plans for the general advancement of the race, along all lines. To meet them now is an opportunity which may not come again soon. We must impress our visitors with the great opportunity we have in the growing new state, to make homes, where and while land is cheap and within their reach. We must meet these visitors and make their stay pleasant and have them go back to their homes with good impressions and reports of the good people they met in Oklahoma. We must make an effort to have them see as much of Oklahoma as possible, during their short stay. We must make the Muskogee meeting a success—a grand success—a howling success. It will require so little upon the part of each of us to do this if we do our part. During te week a murder was committed at Sapulpa in which a Negro woman and two Negro men are accused of committing the crime. The circumstances surrounding the affair are such that we can only regret that the criminals are Negroes and will have to suffer the punishment for a crime which might have been avoided, if the officers of the law of Sapulpa had been careful of their duty. It is to be hoped that this will be a lesson and that a repetition of this affair will not occur again. The unfortunate man, who lost his life in this affair seems to have made a habit of associating with lewd Negro women and Negro men of the "round-erf" type. He bought whiskey for them and loved to be with them. The real trith of his murder may never be known, but the fact sindicate that his Negro comrades robbed him and in order to accomplish their purpose took his life. Lynching of the Negroes was averted only because the better people of Sapulpa positively refused to encourage anything less than a trial for the reason that he kept company with them and thereby lost the protection of his own people.

President of the Oklahoma State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs 224 East Second Street, Oklahoma City The Oklahoma State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs was organized in 1910, its principal object being to raise to the highest plane the home, the moral, intellectual and civil life of the race and to cultivate that spirit of general helpfulness, as expressed in its motto, "Lifting as We Climb." Its first annual meeting was held in the city of Guthrie, August 14, 1911, and showed an enrollment of ten clubs. Today its enrollment has increased to 28 active clubs and three city federations. Last year's reports show nearly $700 paid out by these clubs for charitable purposes, beside large amounts of food, clothing, fuel and medicine, which were donated by the members. This organization is promoting work along all lines of educational and civic improvement in many of the cities and towns of the state. Oklahoma City conducts a "Story Hour," where the children in three different sections of the city gather once a week, under competent supervisors for an hour of story-telling, games and song. One club has a day nursery and lunch room for school children. The Civic Improvement association has opened a neighborhood park. It also looks after the Negro portion of the cemetery, beautifying it by planting grass, trees and flowers and furnishing head boards for unmarked graves. A Guthrie club supported a teacher at $50 per month, and bearing all other expenses. Another club furnished properly chaperoned weekly entertainments for the young people. The work of Excelsior club and its excellent public library is well known. McAlester and Boley clubs have both established public libraries during the year. Muskogee and El Reno clubs are promoting public libraries, and hospitals. Many clubs all over the state are furnishing playgrounds for the children. They are also helping push the work of the U. S. Agricultural clubs for boys and girls. Oklahoma City Federation has donated $100 toward the work. The Mothers' clubs of the state are trying to secure a more general reformation in the homes of the masses, and all are intensely interested in the domestic sciences and arts, self culture, prison reform and the uplift of our boys and girls. The clubs are helping enforce the child labor and compulsory educational laws, are joining in the war against the spread of tuberculosis and fighting with heart and soul in the "black" slave traffic. They are working to have a Negro history placed in the public school course of study as supplementary reading for colored schools, to have a lecture bureau whereby the most talented men and women of the race may be brought before the masses, and are using every exertion to secure a state training school for incorrigible Negro girls and boys.

TULSA, OKLA TULSA, OKLA AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS TULSA. OKLA.. STAR The recent visit of Dr. Booker T. Washington to this city and the splendid address which he delivered brought to mind an incident of a few weeks ago, relates the Chicago News. A young negro of what might be called the diletate class, was heard saying to a newly arrived stranger: "Don't tell any one in Chicago that you are from Tuskegee institute." To this advice the stranger without hesitation replied to the effect that he was proud to be identified with an institution that meant so much constructively in the life of his race, and that any one who was conversant with the needs of the people served by the school could not be disloyal to it. The former young man did not necessarily mean harm, but unfortunately he misrepresented the spirit of this great city. Chicago, sharing the American ideal, is in harmony with movements everywhere which makes for human uplift, and her representative citizens are as eager to encourage in Alabama as well as in Illinois any organization representing an investment in useful, nondependent citizenship. The Tuskegee institute is not only an efficient school for training the negro in manual arts and in agriculture. It is primarily a school for human culture, indeed for race culture, considering the important part it has played and is destined to play in the education of the negro race. It took the world a long time to acknowledge the truth that physical control and the workman's skill in the manipulation of his tools and the practise of his art are as essential contributions to human welfare and to appreciate fine are from an academic point of view or to translate classical writings or decipher fascinating problems in mathematics. Those who from aparthy, indolence or prejudice have not kept beast with the trend of education and the progress of the glorious humanitarian movements of this day are the ones who date upon what a living age has buried in books. They offer no helping hand in the solution of vital problems. The Tuskegee institute is an active agency not only in education but in social amelioration. Truly there can be no complete appreciation of the work that Doctor Washington is doing for this country if the appalling need for this work is overlooked. As this need is realized so will the friends of the work increase, together with the encouragement and inspiration of his benevolent supporters. At an expenditure exceeding $10,000,000 London will build a dock ample enough to accommodate any merchant steamer afloat or which will be likely to enter the Thames for many years to come. A thousand persons gathered in Epiphany church in G street at Washington to bid farewell to James. For forty-one years James, the colored sexton, had rung the chapel bell that called the parishoners and greeted their arrival with a happy face. He was accorded honors at his funeral service that no person ever buried from that church has received. The aged negro was given the distinction of having a funeral address preached for him, as sermons on burial occasions are never given in the Eposcopal service. Five hundred colored people attended the service and were ushered into their places by the usual church attendants. The Panama canal is lighted along its entire length by electricity, for lighthouses, buoys, etc. A recent bulletin issued by the census bureau giving mortality figures for the year 1913, seems to have made a deep impression in the South because of the ominously high figures for the negroes in the southern cities. These are the deaths per thousand: White. Negro. Memphis 15.9 28.2 Richmond 16.7 26.8 New Orleans 15.6 31.9 Baltimore 16.2 31.0 Nashville 14.7 24.0 Birmingham 12.3 25.2 Atlanta 13.5 25.2 Washington 14.4 24.4 The Atlanta Constitution vigorously calls attention to this situation, pointing out that the diseases which cause such a death rate among the negroes must, in the close contact of urban life, be a menace to the whites, and that, therefore, the whites have a selfish interest in improving the standards of negro life.—Springfield Republican. "Give the negro a chance." This was the theme that thrilled through the address of Booker T. Washington when he spoke at Chicago before the convention of the International Sunday School association in Medinah temple. Mr. Washington proved to be one af the most popular speakers that have addressed the convention and his appeal to the Sunday school leaders to help the negro and to give him a chance brought repeated applause from the delegates and visitors who filled the big hall to overflowing. "What the black man needs is the old time religion," said the speaker. "That's the theology I want to take to my people. The negro is better off close to the soil and in the South, and I want to keep him there, if you will bring the Sunday school to him. Take the old theology to him, the theology that says, 'Thou shalt not steal,' 'Thou shalt not kill,' 'Thou shalt not bear false witness,' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.' "I want no man's sympathy because I am a negro," he said. "I thank God every day that I belong to this race. I wouldn't change places with the whites. man in America. We have problems to solve, such problems as the white man has not, and my people need some one to lead and help them. But remember, it is not always unfortunate for a race to have problems to confront; such problems turn races into kingdoms and nations." The resolutions committee reported to the convention and resolutions favoring a federal law for the regulation of marriage and divorce, a single standard of purity for both sexes, rigid laws against commercialized vice, lotteries and gambling, consoring of moving pictures, the abolishment of child labor under the age of sixteen, the destruction of the liquor traffic, the advancement of international peace and the observance of the sabbath were passed. Country negroes of the better type are good workers and thrifty managers, pretty sure to become ultimately land owners and self-employers. Negro ownership of land in the South increased 150 per cent in the first decade of the twentieth century. But in this advancement of the best of the race from tenantry and wage working to larger or smaller agricultural proprietorship the author sees a bad influence upon those less fortunate or deserving, an agency making for the deterioration in character and efficiency in the labor left available for the white man's plantation; her observation and interest seem to be rural and agricultural more than urban and industrial. And the unreliability of this labor is in turn responsible for devices verging upon peonism, holding the laborer to the land with chains of debt: "For many years the South squandered the fertility of her fields. We are learning of late years, slowly and painfully, to build up the impoverished soil, and restore it to its former richness. But we have overlooked the squandered fertility of labor. Until we build up the worker the material on which his work is spent will never yield its normal return. The houses of very many farm laborers are more than enough to sap his vitality, to destroy ambition and self-respect and to foster immorality and disease. Conditions like these filch from the community its capital of human productiveness."—Mrs. L. H. Hammond, in her book "In Black and White." The president of Uruguay is reported to be considering the advisability of creating a national printing establishment to undertake all the printing work of the various government departments. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has for its purpose to protect colored women from moral and financial exploitation, to provide playgrounds and recreation centers, to organize boys' and girls' clubs and neighborhood unions of adults, to secure and train negro social workers, to develop co-operation among welfare agencies, to provide employment facilities to fit workers for their occupation, to provide probation care for juvenile and adult delinquents, to render neighborhoods free from vice where respectable people may have homes, and to investigate city conditions among negroes.

"These long arctic nights are delightful," said the Eskimo beau, "but I guess I'm staying a trifle late." "No hurry," declared the Eskimo belle. "That clock is two weeks fast." He Was Celebrating. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself," observed the Sunday school teacher, severely, to the small girl who had but too obviously omitted to wash her face that morning. "Look at your little brother; see how nice and clean he is." The small girl sniffed. "Well," she replied, "it's 'is birthday.'" Needful. The shades of night were falling fast when through an Alpine village passed a youth who bore mid snow and ice a banner with this strange device: "Safety first!" The malden didn't ask him to stay.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR-AUGUST 16 THE WICKED HUSBANDMAN. LESSON TEXT—Matt 21:33-46 LESSON TEXT-Martt. 21:33-45. GOLDEN TEXT-"The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner." Matt. 21:42 R. V. Tuesday morning of this his last week (Mark 11:20) the disciples saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. Passing on they, enter the temple where Christ's authority is challenged. Following his disconcerting reply (21:23-27) Jesus taught three parables of warning of which this lesson is the second. 1. The parable, vv. 33-39. It is a story of God's long suffering goodness and Luke (20:9) tells us that it was addressed to the people. We need to keep in mind the previous parable of the two sons (vv. 28-32) in order to understand perfectly the method he employed in answering the chief priests. In the first he states a case and appeals to them for a verdict. Without hesitation they replied and by so doing condemned themselves. In this parable he states a case and asks for a reply, v. 40. This they gave and in so doing declared a righteous judgment which must fall upon their motives. In both parables Jesus employs the figure of a vineyard. In the Old Testament this stands for Israel, Ps. 80:8-11, Isa. 5:1. Kingdom Committed to Us. In this case it stands for the Kingdom of God which is no longer identified with Israel but taken away from it and given to the Gentiles (v. 43). The Lord was dealing with the responsible rulers of Israel, those familiar with the prophetic writings. His reference to the digging and care suggests that for his vineyard he had done all that could have been done, Isa. 5:4. Being fully equipped, he places it first of all in the care of Israel, verse 43. Today it is in charge of believers, I Peter 4:10. The husbandman did not own the vineyard, it was only entrusted to his care. So in a sense, God has committed the kingdom to us, does his work through us, and of a right expects an accounting by us, see Matt. 25:14, 15; Mark 13:34; Luke 19:12. In these parables we can trace the whole history of Israel according to Isaiah. The fruits he looked for from the vineyard "let out to the husbandman" were those of judgment and of righteousness. Their response had ever been that of persecuting the prophets, ill treatment of those that were sent, and a selfish appropriation of the blessings he had given. These servants sent to get an accounting were God-commissioned and God-inspired, hence it is small wonder that such people would accord a like treatment of the king when he came. This is still the way the world uses godly men, II Timi. 3:12. It reveals the world's natural hatred to God, John 15:18, 19: Rom. 8:7. Appeal to Hearers. II. The application, vv. 40-46. Jesus then appeals to his hearers as to what should be done to the husbandman, v. 40. They declared, "he will miserably destroy those miserable men and will let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons." At this Jesus reminds them of their Scriptures and what they taught concerning the fact of the stone rejected by the builders becoming the head of the corner. The master's question (v. 40) suggests the one found in Heb. 10:28, 29. Historically, God did "miserably destroy these miserable men." That happened at the destruction of Jerusalem, one of the most appalling sieges recorded in military history. It was then that the doom pronounced by Jesus was executed when he said, "The Kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof," see Acts 15:14; I Pet. 2:9; Rev. 5:9. In these words Jesus formally and authoritatively passed sentence upon the nation and rejected it from a place of service. It is significant to observe the alternative of falling upon the stone and being broken or of having the stone fall upon and crushing all to dust. In the erection of the temple one is the keystone of the whole. On that stone the builders were now "falling" and being "broken," Isa. 8:15. Soon in their corporate capacity, as ones entrusted with a vineyard, the stone should "fall upon them" in the destruction of the city, and individually and personally as unbelievers, in a more awful sense.

"Fatigue" of Metals. Recent experiments confirm the earlier observations, following the discoveries of Hertz, on the "fatigue" induced in metals by the continued action of the ultra-violet rays of light. This fatigue affects the capacity of metals for photo-electric effects. The observations of Stanley Allen of the fatigue of zinc indicate that the application of the longer light-waves brings about a certain amount of recovery of photo-electric activity. These results, although primarily of technical interest only, possess considerable practical importance.—Popular Electricity. An enthusiastic citizen, on the verge of a trip to Europe, was rejoicing over the fact and descanting on the pleasures to come. "How delightful it will be," said he to his wife, "to tread the bounding billow and inhale the invigorating oxygen of the sea! The sea! The boundless sea! I long to see it! To breathe in great draughts of lifegiving air.

Acting under a law of 1912, the New Jersey state board of health has issued the following rules, which are to be followed by all consumptives in that state: 1. All persons suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis (consumption) shall effectively destroy their sputum (spit). 2. All persons suffering from running sores due to any form of tuberculosis shall burn all soiled dressings immediately after removal. 3. The room occupied by a tuberculosis patient shall have at least one outside window. 4. No person suffering from pulmonary or other communicable form of tuberculosis shall, handle food designed for the use of others except when necessary in the performance of household duties, unless the food be wrapped in such a way as to protect it from contamination or unless some necessary subsequent process of preparation such as cooking will sterilize it and prevent its carrying infection to the consumer. 5. The manufacturing of any kind of goods for commercial purposes or the performance of any work known as "shop work" in the home of any person suffering from pulmonary or other communicable form of tuberculosis, is prohibited, unless the product is such as can be sterilized, and unless sterilization is done in strict accordance with the requirements of the local board of health. Saving His Feelings. When you begin to comment on the physical characteristics of a man's children, and yet desire to say something particularly effective, you sometimes have to resort to figures of speech. This is particularly true when you intend to express an idea that may hurt your friend's feelings. For example—a friend dropped in to see a western farmer who was famous for seven reasons. One was the horrible, garish red of his hair. The other six consisted of the hideous, garish red of the hair of his six children. "Sam," said the visitor, "you'll never have to worry about your children going hungry. Set 'em up on a fence any day, and a woodpecker will feed them."—Popular Magazine. Fun Ahead for Hubby.

"I want to mix it with my husband's tobacco so he won't smoke up the house with that old pipe of his," she replied, with the air of one who had solved a great problem.—Springfield Union.

The repeal of the much-argued-about Panama canal tolls brings to mind an excellent story of Colonel Goethals, the moving spirit in the construction of the great canal. One morning a rather fidgety subordinate came in to the colonel's office. "I got your letter, colonel," he began, "and I came to—" He got no further, for the colonel, with uplifted eyebrows, cut in: "Letter? Letter? There must be some mistake. I have written you no letter!" "Oh, yes, colonel," replied the man. "I've got it here. It's about the work down at Miraflores. Now, you see—" Again the colonel cut in. "Oh, I see! But you misled me. You spoke of my letter. You meant, of course, my orders." The colonel's blue eyes stared coldly at the argumentative man, who, suddenly feeling that the conversation was at an end, "faded away."—London Answers. Her New Device. He stayed too late and accepted no hints. Then the lovely young girl resorted to a new device. "Taking any interest in the Mexican language?" she asked as she deftly hid a yawn. "No." he replied.

Fifty Years Ago, Selected St. Francis De Sales as Their Patron. It will be news to many journalists to learn that they have an officially selected patron saint. But the Manchester Guardian points out that they have, and have had for the last fifty years. Plus IX., at the request of a number of continental journalists, is sued a decree on the point. He is commended journalists to seek the help of St. Francis de Sales, whose body has just lately been transferred, with great pomp and amidst popular rejoicing, to a new church at Annecy, in Savoy, his native place. The choice, our contemporary thinks, was an apt one, for St. Francis was a man of letters. His famous work, "The Devout Life," is still popular, "no doubt be cause of the lightness of touch with instinct (if one may put it in writing of the work of a which he compels attentious questions by the skill of necdote and illustration." or Gazette. how to establish an email list LAMP CAP 1 5-inch Lather Brush. 1 Bar Shaving Soap.

REMEMBER THE PLACE 114 North Greenwood St. A. Carr. Prop. Jack Johnson In French Army? Jack Johnson has joined the French army, so the newspapers say. He has also given all his automobiles to the army of France. Great boy, that Jack Johnson. The American papers have had many bad things to say of our Jack, since he has decided to pay $ 0,000 and give up his citizenship here. Good kid, that Jack Johnson. Jack is accused of "throwing" the Moran fight and from the way the papers put out the dope one would think that Jack had done something along that line that a white fighter would not do. Smooth boy, that Jack Johnson. The suggestion is offered by our white friends in the sporting fraternity that we give Jack Jonason his belt and call him Negro Champion and then get up a new championship for white folks only. Peaches for Jack, of course. Now the daily papers print Jack Johnson as a big, burly, ugley and coarse fellow, which the camera can easily be made to do. He is the black Beast of the prize ring since he has gone to France. Wise boy, that Jack Johnson. As a matter of fact the great prize fighters of this and other times do not come out of the New York "400." Taken from a social examination and none of them count for much. They are all coarse and rough and overbearing and Jack Johnson is the most gentlemanly of the later day heavyweights. Jack is considerably above the fifty-year axerage of champions in department and intelligence, and it not necessary to use the X-ray to prove the assertion. Jack has played the sporting game wisely. In the past nego fighters have had white managers who have wound up with all the coin earned by their stars. Jack has beat them scheming. If Jack has been crooked it was only in self-defense. In the ethics of robbery the victim must submit to the terms of the robber and in the game the papers make so much noise over, victim Johnson made terms to suit a bunch of sporting men, who were in the game for just what Jack was in it for. We are with the black rascal. He is absolutely right—fair and square and those who really know Jack Johnson—the new Jack Johnson—know him as the bighearted, jolly, foxy and "dead game" sport. That's all Jack Johnson claims for himself, and he is all that. Taking Carl Morris and his Tulsa fight as a text we feel safe in saying for Jack Johnson that if he had been a white man, keeping up all the antics and capers which have marked his career since he has been champion, he would be the "flower of the white race." John L. Sullivan did worse and white people all over the world called his foolish tricks smart ones. God Bless Jack Johnson, "The Black Rascal."—Sporting Editor. | | Tire | Tube | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 28x3 | $ 7.20 | $1.65 | | 30x3 | 7.80 | 1.95 | | 30x3½ | 10.80 | 2.80 | | 32x3½ | 11.90 | 2.95 | | 34x3½ | 12.40 | 3.00 | | 32x4 | 13.70 | 3.35 | | 33x4 | 14.80 | 3.50 | | 34x4 | 16.80 | 3.60 | | 36x4 | 17.85 | 3.90 | | 35x4½ | 19.75 | 4.85 | | 36x4½ | 19.85 | 4.90 | | 37x4½ | 21.50 | 5.10 | | 37x5 | 24.90 | 5.90 | All other sixes in stock.
