MORRISON MAKES A PLEA FOR EQUAL RIGHTS Vol. 2, No. 45 National PRES. MORRIS PLEA FOR EQ President of Convention Thinks Blacks Should Have Repres- sentation in Body. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.—Woman suffrage was endorsed and a plea for representation in congress of the 10,000,000 negroes in the United States was made in the annual address of Rev. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist convention at the opening session here yesterday. "The capital of our nation," he said, "is a hotbed of race hatred and from there it will continue to spread to all sections of the country until negro men shall be elected to congress and speak for themselves." More than five thousand delegates from nearly every state in the union, are in attendance upon the convention. Convention Hall, Philadelphia, Pa., September 10,—Like the rushing and roaring of mighty waters were the echoes and applauses of delegates to the great National Baptist Convention when the Rev. Richard Henry Boyd D. D., made his two mammoth reports, showing another year of progress in which more than two hundred and four thousand dollars, worth of business had been done by the boards, located in Nashville, Tenn., to the Convention in session here....While this was not a new departure for this great work in the forests of the Baptists throughout the country, magnificent and towering in height as he is, the hundreds of delgates and thousands of spectators that make up the Convention could not preceive how he had accomplished the marvelous progress and the rapid long strides along religious denominational lines in so short a time, ...This ex-slave who is the founder of the largest Negro printing establishment owned and operated by Negroes in the world, occupied the attention of the Convention for more than two hours.... It was conceded at the end of his report that the work of the Baptist Publishing House is not only the backbone, but the bone and slown of the 2,500,000 men and women who go to make up the constituency of this the largest Protestant gathering in the world....There was no feigning at eloquence, no attempt at oratory, but a mere commonplace, business genius, recounting calmly and yet accurately the supreme efforts and the wonderful successes that had been achieved in less than eighteen years by the Negro Baptists at their Publishing House in Nashville, Tenn. ...These two reports, one the nineteenth annual report of the Home Mission Board and the other the eighteenth annual report of the National Baptist Publishing Board, made by one man, the secretary of both Boards, sounded more like fictoon, but came nearer reaching the stage of perfection than any document that has come before this august body. Without any experience save what was gathered from the cruel, cold business world, there has been established and is maintained says this report, at Nashville, Tennessee, an institution that is crowding the half million mark in value where more than a hundred young men and women are employed as skilled laborers, artsans and lights in the literary world. In the Home Mission Board report the summary shows that the missionaries have traveled 47,096 miles; they have written 14,574 letters, and that (Continued on page four) The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1914. PATROLMAN R. T. NELSON ARRESTED AFTER HE HAD WOUNDED NEGRO SAPULPA, Okla., Sept. 8.—(Special.)—"Slim" Nelson, Negro, 26, a local police character was shot and perhaps fatally wounded here this afternoon by Patrolman R. T. Nelson, white, and Nelson is in jail charged with the crime. Patrolman Nelson went to the Negro district of the city early this afternoon in response to a hurry-up call stating that "Slim" and some other Negroes were creating a disturbance When the officers arrived he located Nelson and tried to arrest him. The patrolman claims that the Negro drew a nife, and started for him and he shot in self defence. Shortly after the shooting an investigation was started by Mayor Smith which resulted in the patrolman's badge and gun being taken from him, and he was lodged in the county jail. The case has created much excitement here, and all sorts of rumors are afloat. Negro Physicians Performs Remarkable Operation Negro Physicians Performs Remarkable Operation WHITE PHYSICIAN OF THIS CITY HAD GIVEN UP THE JOB IN DESPAIR Word has been received here of the successful operation by Drs. J. T. Wilson of Memphis, Tenn., and L. H. Johnson of Coweta, both colored, on Mrs. James Cherry of this city who went to Memphis for the operation two weeks ago. The operation was a very difficult one and this feat of surgery has placed those two physicians at the head of their class. Mrs. Cherry is feeling fine and will return home in a few days a much healthier as well as much lighter woman. She will be about 20 pounds lighter than when she left and her waist measurement will be reduced more than two feet. Dr. Butler, a white physician of this city was engaged last year to perform the operation, but after cutting into his patient and seeing what a dangerous and difficult operation it was, refused to go farther, saying the woman would die in less-than two hours after an operation. He sewed up the incision, received his money and Mrs. Cherry went on hoping for the best and she found it when she found Dr. L. H. Johnson of Coweta who after examining her told her he could save her life and make her a healthier woman. She consented and he took her to Dr. Wilsons hospital at Memphis and together these two graduates of the Moherry Medical College performed the operation. The intenstine had broken through the covering known as the peritomous this caused a bagging of the abdomen, accompanied with an amount of fat which gave her no little degree of trouble and inconvenience. Dr's. Wilson and Johnson removed a part of the visera which was 2 1-4 feet long and one foot wide, weighing about 18 or 20 pounds, after removal the intestines were places back in the proper place and the abdomen sewed up again.

Local Business League Is Now Reorganised New Officers Will Promote The Commercial Interest of Tulsa "HARMONY" WAS THE KEYNOTE AND PASS WORD OF THE DAY .... BIG MEETING MONDAY NIGHT Enthusiastically declaring themselves selves in favor of a united effort to build up and promote the interest of the East End, a number of citizens met in the Peoples Social Club room Monday night in answer to a call published in the Star last week, and re-organized the local Business League which has been an inactive body for several months, because it has been such hard matter to get the business men to attend the meetings. Many preliminary speeches were made by those present and after a thorough understanding a complete list of new officers were elected as follows: Lee McGregor, president; Capt. T. D. Jackson, vice president; A. J. Smitherman, Sec. and F. T. Smith Treas, The retiring officers expressed themselves as highly pleased with the new organization and promised their hearty co-operation. Prof. Hughes scored lightly the business men who were not present and urged those present to patronize those --- who are in business in the East End. Dr. J. M. Key also made a "Harmony" speech which was frank and to the point. W. L. McKee saved the day when he brought harmony out of what seemed to be a threatening storm of confusion. Lawyer Freeman L. Martin was there and took an active part in bringing about the final results. Captain Jackson waxed into eloquence in nominating A. J. Smitherman for president, but Mr. McGregor who was nominated by the editor was elected by a good majority. President McGregor appointed the following committee to draft by laws and constitution for the organization: J. H. Roberts, Chairman, F. R. Williams and J. W. Hughes. Lawyer Hutchins was one of the leading lights of the meeting and manifested a keen interest in the proceedings. There is no doubt that the new organization will be of much benefit to the business people in the East End as well as the professional people.

A big industrial parade was the feature of the day and thousands of visitors from neighboring towns came in to see and take part in the great parade and gale of the day. The parade, which was the best ever seen in this city begun about 10 o'clock A. M. and it was near 11:30 when the last float passed and the echoes from two good bands had died away. All the union organizations of the city were represented in the parade as was also organizations from other towns. The carpenters, brick masons and plasters unions of this city and the Miners unto at Hickory have recognized no color line in their organizations and in these organizations the Negro has been given the same chance to earn a livelihood along side of his white brother and so far as we know no contamination has set in and there has been no complaint from either the White or Colored laborers. Garbbed in blue overalls and black caps the colored boys of these unions formed a ine and headed by a blazing banner which read: "EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL, SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO NONE" these black laborers marched in regular time with others in the parade, and they made a splendid appearance. Not a single Indian was seen in the lind. the new organization are planing to give a public installation which will be celebrated with an elaborate banquet.

LEMBURG FALLS TOTHERUSSIANS IN FIRST DECISIVE BATTLE IN THE EASTERN THEATRE OF THE WAR HUNDREDS OF CANNONS TAKEN Death List of the Austrians Reaches an Appalling Number and Their Galician Army is Practically Destroyed London.—Lemberg, the northeastern Austrian fortified city around which desperate fighting has been in progress for more than a week, has fallen before the assaults of the Russians. This triumph for the Russian arms was announced by the commander-in-chief of the czar's army. The commander-in-chief's message was as follows: "With extreme joy and thanking God I announce to your majesty that the victorious army under General Ruszky, captured Lemberg at 11 c'clock this morning. The army of General Brussiloff has taken Halicz. "On September 1 the Austrian troops tried to break through the Russian center between Lablin and [Image of a man in a military uniform with a cap and a badge. The man has a white beard and mustache.] Grand Duke Nicolas. Kholm but failed. They were forced to beat a hasty retreat, the Russians capturing one ensign, eight Maxims, and 1,000 prisoners. "On the following day hard fighting was resumed with renewed energy. Prisoners taken by us report that the second Austrian army, consisting of the covering force to the east of Lemberg, is perfectly panic-stricken. "In the neighborhood of Lemberg on September 2, twenty more guns were captured by the Russians, making a total of 170. "On this front the Russian advance continues uninterrupted." The official statement concerning the capture of Lemberg, capital of Galicia, says that it is believed the remnant of the Austrian army left after the Russian attack no longer is of military value. Besides the thousands of men killed, wounded or made prisoners, the Russians report that they took 200 guns from the Austrians. Grand Duke Nicolas, the Russian commander-in-chief, has ordered the captured territory in Austria-Hungary administered by the Russian general in command in that country. Austrians Engulfed The Times' Petrograd correspondent says that the Russian forces drew around the Austrian army like an iron semi-circle. The Austrians thus were obliged to fight for their salvation with extreme obstinacy, owing to the fact that they could not hope for any considerable amount of reinforcements The southern army under General Frank, had been almost destroyed by the Servians and the transfer of the remnant of three corps would alter nothing save that perhaps in this manner the road to Budapest would be left open to the Serbs. The Germans had apparently retired from Polish territory, west of Vistula, and were unable to send the Austrians as much as a single battalion, so that the army under Archduke Frederick was left to its own resources. The operations extended over a front of 200 miles and probably a million and a half men were engaged, The Austrians' extreme right sustained enormous losses, but the most terrible blow was dealt them by the gallant Ruzsky's army which, starting from Rovno, thence southwest, spreading fanwise in the region north and south of Lemberg, menacing the rear of the Lublin army and threatening to cut its communications. To parry this move the Austrians transferred several army corps from the west side of the Vistula behind Lublin and hurled them at Ruzsky. The result of this movement is chronicled in today's official bulletin of victory. The Austrians' desperate onslaught on Ruzsky's army has been attended with a series of disasters, notably the destruction of the sixth army corps at Laschoff, a few miles west of Tomasow. The Rome correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company says dispatches from Vienna announce that following its success at Lemberg the Russian ceter has suddenly begun a movement northward against the flank of the armies under the Austrian Generals Aufenburg and Dankel.

FORTUNE NOW FAVORS ALLIES Advance On Paris Apparently Given a Severe Set-Back and Germans Are Reported To Be in Retreat. London.—A Boulogne dispatch to the Evening News says a telegram has been received from General Pau announcing a victory by the allied forces at Percy Sur Oise. The Imperial Guard, under Crown Prince Frederick William, is reported to have been annihilated by the British force which opposed them. The Evening News dispatch says: "A telegram has been received from General Pau announcing a victory by the allied forces under Field Mrshal Sir John French, commanding the British, and General D'Amade at Percy Sur Oise, about twenty-five miles north of Paris. The allies were down across the northern line with the center at Percy. The English troops were on the left and the French on the right. The former had in front of them the Imperial Guard under Crown Prince Frederick William. "On both wings it is reported, the allies were successful. The German left was held by the French and retired to the north. "The Imperial Guard, who were ordered to surrender, were annihilated by the British. It is reported that the crown prince was in their midst." The British official bureau has received no confirmation of this message. In the fighting which is going on now to the east and northeast of Paris, the German forces have their backs toward the capital. French troops are harrassing the march. From time to time the Germans turn and engage the French at their backs. French shells fall continually in the German rear. The French Report. Paris.—From official communications given out in Paris it is learned that the engagements which began Saturday and Sunday to the east and northeast of the French capital developed Monday into one of the most important battles of the campaign. The armies of the allies are opposing the German advance over a front extending for about 120 miles from Nanteuil-Le-Haudoin, twenty-five miles northeast of Paris, to the great fortress of Verdun in the department of Meuse and twenty miles west of the German frontier. The French troops were strongly supported by the British soldiers who passed through Paris several days ago. The position chosen by the allied forces to give battle to the advancing invaders is declared to be most favorable, having near its center the strongly entrenched camp at Chalons-SurMarne. The allies conducted their operations so successfully that a portion of the German forces were forced to retire. The Germans had reached the region around Coulommiers and La Ferte-Gaucher, respectively thirty and forty miles to the cast of Paris, when the detachments composing the flanks of the main German army encountered advanced detachments of the allies who drove them back. Brief and indefinite though the announcement, it has kindled high hopes that the German steam roller has struck an impassable barrier. The population of Paris and suburbs before the war was 3,400,000. According to semi-official figures, it is 2,010,000 today, owing to the mobilization of the army and the departure of fugitives. London Women Storing Food London.—One woman, does not intend to go hungry if food supplies run short. Her grocery bill for one day was $1400 for a family of three or enough to last for over a year. A ton and a half of flour were on her list of supplies. South American Hard Hit By War South American Hard Hit By War Panama.—Reports received here from points on the west coast of South America indicate that conditions worse than anything known in many years now prevail as a result of the European war. The conflict virtually has halted sea transportation along the Pacific coast of South America, thus putting an end in a large measure to the importation of many necessities of life. There is reason to believe that many persons in the coast towns are in actual want.

London—A correspondent of the Telegraph wiring from Forges-Les Eaux, twenty-five miles northwest of Rouen, September 3, says: "The allies are compelled by sheer weight of numbers to continue falling back. It is an orderly retirement, not a retreat. "The German army has gradually narrowed its principal attack point until it has become an arrowhead pointing directly for Paris. "When I left the scene the southern end of the enemy's line was near Criel, less than four hours run from Paris by train. In front of the enemy was a river with its bridges waiting to the blown up and still further in front was the army ready for a stubborn resistance. On the enemy's flanks were other armies of the allies, numerically inferior, but full of fight. "Prevlous to the German advance to Criel there was a big battle at Complegne in which the British took an Gen. Paul Pau. heroic part. The allies' left was swung around to the southward. On Tuesday the left wing was well to the north of the line from Gournay-En-Dray to Beauvais, and it has since closed in still more on the German arrowhead. French Score Success. St. Quentin was the scene of a British fight on Sunday. On the British right the French under General Pau scored a distinct success. On Sunday and Monday the Germans were hotly pressed near Guise. The French hammering demoralized. The German lossse were very heavy. "These Germans seem to have an inexhaustible supply of troops. We mow them down and still they come on. It is impossible successfully to oppose such a mass of troops, unless you have big support." Russian Troops Arrive. England has placed more than 80,000 Russian troops in France by means of transports sent north of the Scandinavian peninsula to Finland, where the Cossacks embarked and were safely landed at French ports. In an appeal to the nation to join the colors made by Premier Asquith in Guild Hall, the speaker said he recognized that the present was only the "early stages of what is going to be a protracted struggle." The English hopes toward eastward as the Russian advance have been amply confirmed. In the battle of Lemberg in which the flower of six Austrian army corps were destroyed, it is evident that there has been a simultantous victory at Tomazzow, a town of some importance thirty miles southward of Lodzin, Russian Poland. It appears evident that not only has the Austrian offensive through Russian Poland destined to effect a junction with German army corps from East Prussia failed, but the blow has been so severe that Galicia is virtually in the control of the Russians. Lemin in the control of the Russians. Lemmous territory Slavic in its sympathy but also a transportation point of great strategic value, being the center of eight railroads. If the Russian successes continue it is expected that the Austrians will be cleared out of Russian Poland, within a few days. Russian Success in Galicia. If the official reports of the Russian successes in Galacia are anywhere near correct it is scarcely possible to exaggerate the importance of their victories. If the Austrians are so badly crushed in Galacia as the Russian reports would make the public believe Russian Poland will son cease to be a ponit of anxiety to the Russian defense and the effort of the Petrograd general staff can be concentrated on the offensive movement toward Berlin. The meager German reports received here indicate that the Germans are more than holding their own on the border of East Prussia, but the Russian Poland will soon cease to be a point of anxiety to the Russian denot seem greatly concerned over the status of the campaign in this territory evidently being willing to await the outcome of movements further eastward before throwing Russia's full strength against Prussia. Paris May Surrender. In a dispatch from Rouen, France, a correspondent of the Chronicle says he has learned that the French authorities in Paris are considering the surrender of the city to the Germans in order to avoid the destruction of property from artillery fire. This will only be done, the correspondent declares, in case the outer line of defense of Paris are passed by the invaders. British, French and Belgian wounded are being transferred from Paris to other cities and the great exodus of the populace of the French capital to the south continues.

While the prejudiced White man is trying to find a place in the political world for the Negro, the Negro is making places for himself in the industrial and commercial world. When a man is put on the force to fulfill the duties of an officer of the law every good citizen should help him. It is not expected that crooks and cut throats will help an officer to do his duty, but sometimes even they assist the officers more than some of those who pose as good law abiding citizens. Commissioner Quinn and Chief Burns have removed both the Colored patrolmen of this city and replaced them with white men, because they say they have not been able to find a Colored man who would suit all the Colored people in the East End. We are not surprised at this action on the part of these officials. They have tried their best at all times to give this part of the city.ample police protection with the very best men obtainable but this is a difficult task to perform when a number of men have applied for position on the police force and one half of the town opposing them out of spite and jealousy.

We had hoped that the democratic party in Tulsa county at least would have shown itself bigger and broader than those who are leading the G. O. P. in this state. The Negro is getting mighty tired of being the bone of contention between these two great parties and the common people—the voters—are getting mighty tired of that kind of campaign thunder. Let both parties forget the Negro for a while now and strive earnestly to do something worth while for the common good of our country. If anything bad befalls the Negro, the White man is sure to get some of it, and if anything good comes to the White man in spite of all that's done the Negro is bound to get his share of that. So why waste time discussing the Negro? "What fools we mortals be." AN EVEN BREAK. ER T.

To make a loctfeatured on the front page, picture BOOKER T. WASHINGTON TELLS A STORY which, while on himself, illustrates clearly the attitude of the press, or rather a great portion of the press, towards the race. A number of years ago he made—as he thought—the speech of his life in a certain Southern city. His audience was apparently enthused to the highest pitch and he went to his hotel pretty well satisfied that his name would be emblazoned across the front page of the morning papers. It so happened that the same night a levee character of the race snatched a purse from a factory girl and was apprehended and landed in jail. To make a long story short, this culprit was featured on the front page, picture and all, while the notice of the great educator's speech was sandwiched in between adds on the inside of the paper. The Indianapolis Times, under the caption "And He Was a Black Man" has this to say along the same line: "The Negro gets a large amount of space in the newspapers. Every time he breaks into police court; every time he is made the victim of a not too discriminating mob; every time he acts just as a white man might be expected to act had he been brought up under the great handicaps which have harassed the Negro, he gets a prominent place in the day's news and the result is that the popular mind gradually comes to hold the whole race under suspicion. As a matter of fact a keen observer with even a moderate degree of fairness will find that he has good deeds to his credit; that there are times when he reaches the heroic, and that, as a rule, he is just as law abiding and just as industrious as the rest of us. Yesterday an aged woman would have perished in the flames which were destroying her home if it had not been for a Negro. We should be glad to give you his name, but he didn't hang around long enough to permit anyone to find out who he was. He was content to serve and take his reward in the consciousness that he had been of some service. We have known some white heroes who were less modest. It is just cases like this which get into print occasionally which remind us that the police court "Nigger" is no fair sample of the Negro race; that it would be just as fair to judge all whites by the barrel house bums who day after day face the judge. Here was a hero of the highest type and he was a black man." What we need and need badly is a more Negro Newspapers Will Use Telegraph Code Service TULSA. OKLA.. STAR National Baptist Convention (Continued from page one) a total of $64,890,40 has been spent for missionary operations on home fields. It is sub-divided by subjects touching upon missionary operations, the co-operative missionary work; the plan doing Sunday Schol col-portage work; the economical side of missionary work; the co-operative work between the white and the Negro Baptists; the Bible conference and theological training; needs for better artified missionary workers; and closed with a ringing declaration of the work done in Panama and forecasting the possibility of the Negro Baptists extending their missionary work to the Central American Republic. It itemizes and tabulates the extensive operations for the Home Mission Board. The report of the Publishing Board is styled as The Business End of the Convention. While Dr. Boyd was making these two reports the chairman of the Home Mission Board, Rev, Dr. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock, Ark., and the chairman of the Publishing Board, Rev, Dr. C. H. Clark, of Nashville, Tenn., were seated on the platform as they had made introductory remarks. The report of the Publishing Board was the momentous item of the Convention. It shows that from 1897 to 1914, $2,145,307.35 has been received and expended in the maintenance of the plant at Nashville and that 128,582,298 periodicals had been published and distributed under the auspecies and from the presses of this institution, and that 393,674 letters have been sent out to various portions of the United States. The enormous circulation attained in the past years, declared this report, would have been ever greater but for the high waters and the disastrous overflows in the sections of the country where the Nero Baptists predominate. Secretary Boyd reported by quarters showing the number of letters received and the number of letters mailed each month for the four quarters in the fiscal year. They make a grand total of 238,029 for the year just closed. These operations cover every department of the sunday-school work. Secretary Boyd also reports the progress made by the Sunday-school Congress, the Teacher-Training, the Boy Cadets, Metoka and Galeda Class Movement and Readers Course and Negro Doll Clubs.

NASHVILLE, TENN., Monday, Sept. 7.—Closer unity among the newspaper men of every grade and shade is guaranteed as a result of the actions taken at the Ninth Annual Session of the National Negro Press Association, which has just closed at Muskogee, Okla. The unifying of interest with the cooperation in the returns that are vouchsafed by agreements and legislation enacted at this meeting will bring from 25 to 50 per cent. increase in benefits to every newspaper belonging to the Association. The redoubling of the efforts to lift the standard of the newspaper, the publisher and the correspondent to a higher plane of efficiency and to make the publications themselves cover their scope of proficiency will continue to be pushed. Climaxes of some of the well laid plans that are to be worked out in detail will be reported to the Executive or Mid-Winter Session that is to be held in this city during the month of February. Some of the things that will be completed and reported for final action will be a Code Service by which cipher messages can be sent from one member of the Association to another. This system is being worked out under a committee consisting of the chairman of the Executive Committee, Jos. L. Jones, of Cincinnati; and Henry A. Boyd, the corresponding secretary, of this city. Another is the advertising matter which was left in the hands of a committee consisting of B. J. Davis of Atlanta; W. E. King, of Dallas; J. A. Booker, of Little Rock; and R H. Boyd, of this city. This committee reported at Muskegee that arangements had been made and only details were left to be worked out. The Muskogee meeting went on record as having accomplished a number of things beneficial to the newspaper men. They condemned unfair and unjust accommodations on the railroad trains offered to the Negroes throughout the country. They have requested all of the newspapers throughout the country, irrespective of race, to capitalize the letter "N" in Negro. The first venture along this line was accomplished when the daily papers of Muskogee acceded to the demand. They selected and en- Wit And Wisdom Wit And Wisdom (By I. R. Man.) In looking over the Negro leadership, I find many fences that need repairing, for instance take some of our supposed to be intelligent Negro Ministers give them a newspaper and they are unable to distinguish between fiction and truth. A case in point that I might mention, I introduced myself to an intelligent looking Negro in a nearby city a few weeks ago, and after a few remarks about the weather and the prospects for rain, cte., I mentioned the great European war, stating that thousands had already been stained in battle, and before I could make further comment he cut me off with the remark: "Do you believe all that stuff you see in the newspapers about war." I had to confess that I did. Whereupon he began to give me a loud lecture stating that not a word of it was true, but that the newspapers only printed such stuff as that in order to sell their papers and he expressed surprise that I was silly enough to let them "take me in" so easy. He closed by saying he never paid no attention to no such stuff. I felt so sorry for the man in his arrogant ignorance that I dropped my head and silently walked away. Now a Negro of that type can do more injury as a leader in a month than can be overcome with intelligent leadership in a year. Now if that class of Negroes will read newspaper and magazines more, and tell less funny tales and vulgar jokes, they will be better enabled to hold an intelligent conversation at least. In this city there are many people that do many foolish things In order to be called a great man, but the biggest foot of all is the man who is doing anything and everything for a dollar and who is doing nothing for his fellowman. Money will not make any man great, but little sets of kindness, will. I saw a woman going down the streets the other day she was carrying a two year old dog in her arms, and her two year old baby was walking along behind her. I don't expect the father of the dog to make a kick, but I wonder how long the father of the baby stand for such things. A dog in a woman's arms is an unholly combination. A white woman told a Negro man to bring her a woman cook that would not have no man come about her. The Negro man told the white woman that the only place such a woman could be found was in the graveyard or cemetery. I dropped into a neat earmag and cold doing store one day last week, a very nice looking young lady was employed behind the counter. A couple of silly young Negro men were in there doing their very best to make her lose her job, by attempting to make love across the counter. People don't hire girls in their shops to make love, and any girl that allows silly boys to attempt such, will soon be hunting for another job. More to follow later.

Conscientious An editor of a New York magazine recently received a story of which the scene was laid in the state of Washington. He wished to have the story illustrated, and in order to obtain the best local detail he sent the manuscript to a young artist out in Washington. Before doing so, however he scrawled hastily across the top of the first page the address of the writer, which did not otherwise appear on the manuscript. It was "Shelton, Wash." With the story the editor sent a letter asking the artist to make a wash drawing of a certain effective scene and forward it as soon as possible. By return mail the editor received an anxious reply from the youthful artist, saying: "I note that you wish me to use Shelton wash; I do not know of any such wash nor do any of the dealers out here. If you can send me a tube I shall be glad to make the drawing." Haskell Colored Folks to Celebrate SEPTEMBER 22-23 EMANCIPION CELEBRATION. There will be a grand celebration to celebrate the issuing of the proclamation that Emancipated the slaves. Representatives from the following towns have named Steve Lowary Park ½ mile East of Haskell as the place of celebration: Haskell, Red Bird, Taft, Boynton, Yahala, Muskogee, Clarksville, Coweta, and Tulsa. This celebration will bring together more people than ever assembled here before. It is evidence of, or lack of refinement and inexcusable to celebrate any other date, but as long as no one don't bring this matter to the attention of the public, we will always hold to the 19th day of June, 4th of July and 4th of August and the 8th of August, Texas Louisiana and Oklahoma celebrate the 19th of June and Oklahoma celebrates the 4th of August. Galley Two. Here is what history says, President Lincoln on the 18th day of June, 1862 submitted the draft of the emancipation proclamation to the Vice President Hamlin on July 22, 1862 President read his proclamation to his cabinet and on the 22 day of September 1862 issued the preliminary emancipation proclamation that emancipated the slaves. Among other things he said that on the first day of June 1863 all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of the state the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then thenceforward and forever free. Hence can't you see by these words of the proclamation itself that there can be no other date except this one which we can correctly and logically celebrate the emancipation day. Hence we take upon ourselves in humble way to establish a uniformity of action. There is no better time to show to the world the advancement in education, agriculture, economy and in various industries. So let us come and have one grand and good old time. When all those little picnic and barbecues are over and done away with and forgotten, at a time when all the people can come together and enjoy themselves, we are inviting every body to come, both Colored, Indians and Whites. Amusements, one big merry-go-round a carnival, two trained Arkansas Black bears, Dancing. Hon. William Harrison of Oklahoma City and Hon. Emmet Stewart of Muskogee will speak.

OKLA., STAR Mr. J. S. Cheatham, former chef at the Evans Cafe, has gone into the Cafe business for himself. His place is the first door south of the Economy Drug store on North Greenwood. Mr. Cheatham is an experienced chef and will no doubt command a good trade. Mrs. Cheatham assists her husband in making their guests welcome and The East End may boast of a real high class European hotel which is indeed a credit to the colored people of Tulsa. The new hotel is the Alexandra Hotel, located in the new Williams building on North Greenwood over the Williams Dreamland Theatre. This hotel will be conducted by Mr. and Mrs. A. Carr, who until early this week conducted the Carr Cafe in the Gurley building. Mr. Carr has planned to give a formal opening of the hotel tonight if he can possibly get ready in time. The city schools of Tulsa will open for business Monday morning Sept., 14. This is good news to the well meaning school boys and girls who are earnstly striving to master the advantages of education. Parents should see to it that their children attend school regularly and encourage them in their work. In this way the parents of the city can do much to help the teachers make this term the most profitable for both pupils and teachers. Tulsa will doubtless have an excellent corps of teachers for this term and with the co-operation of the parents and patrons the schools much good can be done. By occasional visits to the schools we manifest an interest in our children which a good teacher really appreciates and at the same time encourages both the teacher and the pupils. The equipment for the manual training and domestic department is now on the way and will be installed in the near future. This will give new inspiration to the girls and boys—and will no doubt be of much benefit to them in after years. The Williams Dreamland Theatre, the new play house of the East End, under the management of E. D. Lee, an experienced show man, is giving the people in this part of the city the best to be had in entertainments, both in pictures and in vaudeville and the appreciation of our people is shown each night in the numbers who pack the house during each performance. Some of the features this week have been especially attractive and out of the ordinary, and the management is to be congratulated for their efforts to give the East End such high class amusement. Mr. Lee says he intends to give the people of the East End the best possible attractions at all times if the people show that they appreciate it. This theatre is doubtless the finest of its kind in the southwest. It is a credit to Tulsa and deserves the wholehearted support of our people. In providing this up-to-date place of amusement for the East End Mr. Williams has assumed a great responsibility. Few men would have taken the risk, and since Mr. Williams has thus manifested his race pride, the people of the East End would be less than ingrates to give him the support he so richly deserves.

New Market for Ivory. Although in recent years the tvory imported into London has decreased, the falling off has been caused by a new market having been created by the opening of the Congo free state. ‘The ivory coming from that region is now sold in Antwerp, so that when the quantities sent to both markets are put together the total imports actually slow an increase, i Mixed Nationality. Four-yearold Maggie's father ts from Germany; her mother from Scot: land. One day the conversation turned on nationalities and my husband asked Maggie what she was. With her arm around her little brother Herman she replied; “Mamma and we's Scotch, but papa’s her German,” Tender Hearted Aunt Sukey came into the house in high dudgeon, “W'ut yu reckon dat crazy boy Jim done, Miss Cassie?” she demanded, “Luke tol’ him to cut off dat puppy's tail, an’ he says, to mek it easier foh ‘um, he done cut dt off a li'l piece at a time!” A man charged at the Liverpool (Eng.) police court with fighting stated that the prossentor hit him first on the jaw. “Did you nit himfirst?" asked the stipendiary, “No, sir,” was the reply, “If T had hit him first he would have been in the hospital, not me.” Magic for Rust Spots To remove rust spots on bathtubs and basins and discolorations in toilet basins and sinks apply muriatic acid with a mop.

Child, AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS TULSA OCOELA, STAR Charles 8. Osborne of Boston, a col- ored porter employed by the Oakland Motor Car company, has just finished & portrait of Cardinal O'Connell, which in many ways proves the ability of the artist, The picture and the wood carving in the frame that encloses it, and the pedestal on which it stands, required eight weeks to finish, ‘The accomplishment 1s the more striking In that Mr. Osborne can de- vote only part of his spare time, about two hours a day when there 1s day- light, to the practicing of his favorite recreation and prospective life work. When his duties as porter are over at five o'clock in the afternoon he ha- stens to his little room, which Is a studio as well, and while the light 1s Rood paints or does charcoal draw- ing. Cardinal O'Connell's portrait, which 1s done in ofl, was painted from a re- cent photograph by a well known Bos- ton photographer, and 1s 20 by 27 inches. The carved and painted frame is about four feet high and 1s an ex- cellent representation of the old Flo- rentine art, as 1s the hand carved ped- estal on which {t rests. In the cen- ter of the woodwork above the picture {a a miniature reproduction of the “Nativity,” and on either side in the carved replica of Florentine cathedral windows 1s an angel, one holding a harp and the other a bugle. On the base of the frame {s carved a wreath of red roses, harmonizing with the car- dinal's cape. The work of Mr. Os- borne is a triumph over difficulties, for practically all of the carving was done with a jackknife, Mr. Osborne was born in Savannah, Ga., In 1870, and spent the first 20 years of his life in the South. He worked with carpenters and learned panelling and moulding, but all the while he fostered a strong desire to become a painter. He used to draw in the sand with pointed sticks and oc- casionally procured a little crayon. Feoling that there was larger oppor- tunity in the North, he came to Boston in 1891, and while working as a por- ter went to the evening school of the Boston Art club. There he received instruetion tn charcoal drawing from Ernest Major, Later he studied water colors un- der Miss Agnes Leavitt, an artist in Copley square. For several years after that he kept up his artistic endeavors alone, money not being very plentiful. He disposed of quite a number of paintings In this pertod, and with the proceeds he was enable to go to the drawing school of Eric Pape in 1911, studying there three years, Much of his spare time has been spent in visit- ing art exhibitions and fn the art de- partment of the Boston city Hbrary. Mr, Osborne has sold a number of outdoor sketches and portraits done from Ife. He considers his best work to be the “Orlental Dancing Girl,” from life, a picture which took him six months to complete and which {s now on exhibition at the Boston City club, After a rest of two weeks he intends to begin a work called “Star of Bethlehem,” which he hopes to have on exhibition by Christmas.

When the authorities of the Calhoun School decided to add a story to the Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade school, the student tradesmen at- tacked with enthusiasm the laborious task of raising the heavy roof and put- ting on the second story. Then came the tedious days devoted to finishing the interior work. There was always the joy of doing successfully tasks generally considered beyond the reach of tradesinen in the training. Again the call came to do some building which would require skill, patience, and endurance. It was the erection of a two-story brick build- ing to be used as a social center for the boys. Contracts were awarded to the Trade Schools departments and student tradesmen did the construc- tion work. Today the building stands completed. It is known as Clarke hall. It 1s used by the Young Men's Chris- tian association, To appreciate the meaning of these three examples of construction work done by the Hamp- ton tradesmen, one must see the com- pleted structures and realize the build- ing problems which the young negro and Indian tradesmen met and success- fully solved. While construction work calls for ability to read working drawings and follow detailed specifications, the de- mands made by repair problems are in many instances even more taxing. To make a repair quickly, skillfully, and economically, requires unusual ability, Hampton institute is indeed an indus- trial village in which there is constant demand for men who can do good re pair and construction work. Hampton aims to fit young men and women to do well and in an uncom- mon way the common tasks of life. Students are taught to handle their tasks like skilled workmen. They have for their work an excellent equip- ment and they are expected and re- sere to take the best possible care of he school’s property, They receive financial credit for their work and they are required to keep a strict account of all that they earn and spend during the years of their training at Hampton, Clerks in the stores and shops of all kinds in Mexico smoke while waiting on customers, The work for girls at Hampton leads to the important occupations of home- making and teaching. When a girl en- ters Hampton institute she has the opportunity of receiving thorough training in domestic science. The girls work daily for 12 months in the laundry and in the boarding depart- ments under the supervision of experi- enced teachers, and carry on their academic studies in the evening the same as the boys who are in the work class. The mental and moral train- ing, which the year of combined work and study gives, makes it one of the most valuable years of the course. ‘Tho working day for the girls is short- er than for the boys, but a girl may earn from $15 to $18 a month. This enables her to be entirely self-sup: porting during her first year in school, and to accumulate a balance toward defraying the expenses of the second year. A girl in the work class needs very little money besides her entrance feo and first month's board, This course {8 advised for all new girls re- gardless of their ability to pay their way in the day school.

A prominent Georgia physician went through a food experience’ which he makes public. “It was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know, from having prescribed {t to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food is a wonderful rebuilder and restorer of nerve and brain tissue, as well as mus- cle. It improves tho digestion and sick patients gain very rapidly, just 4s I did in strength and weight, “{ was in such a low state that I had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not improve me; in fact, I was not quite as well as when I left home. “My food did not sustain me and it became plain that I must change. ‘Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food and in two weeks I could walk a mile without fatigue, and in five weeks re- turned to my home and practice, tak- ing up hard work again. Since that time I have felt as well and strong as I ever did in my life. “As a physician who seeks to help all sufferers, I consider it a duty ta make these facts public.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

"We advanced Goodyear prices, as others did theirs, when the rubber panic came. Almost in a day crude rubber rose in New York from 55 cents per pound to much over a dollar. "The New York supply was too small to consider. We cabled our London people to buy up the pick of the rubber there. By acting quickly and paying cash they obtained 1,500,000 pounds of the finest rubber. "That big supply of rubber is now nearly all on the way to the Goodyear factory in Akron. It constitutes the best of the London supply. "We are using the same grade of rubber and the same amount of it as we always have used in these tires. "We are running our factory with three shifts of men, twenty-four hours a day. So long as we remain in this fortunate position on rubber, we shall supply tire users at before-war prices to the limit of our capacity."

A remarkable stone weapon, extremely heavy and shaped like a "mere"—a small and effective Maori club—but fitted with a long handle, was recently found by a New Zealander in a cave in the Walkaremoana district. It was so heavy that it required two hands to lift it, and it is not therefore likely to have been a weapon carried in battle. Some of the Maoris themselves suppose it was merely used for dispatching prisoners taken in war, others that it was left in the cave by Te Kooti in his historic trek from Walkaremoana in the seventies. The probability is that it is very much older, and belonged to the Tuhoe or Urewera people, who fought in carlier days all over that district.

In Girlhood Womanhood Motherhood SPIES INTEREST KAISER'S SON Crown Prince's Brusque Query Some- what Annoyed the British Ambassador. The conflict between England and Germany recalls an incident of an illuminating character between the Crown Prince Frederick William and the British ambassador at Berlin, Sir Edward Goschen, which almost brought to a sudden end a brilliant dinner given in honor of the kalser's heir at the embassy in the German capital last February. Over the coffee Crown Prince Frederick William turned to Sir Edward Goschen and demanded brusquely: "Where are your spies?" "Spies?" exclaimed the astounded diplomat. "I cannot understand what your highness means." "Why," returned the heir to the throne of the empire, "your two spies, your military attache, Colonel Russell, and your naval attache, Captain Anderson." "Neither the military attache," firmly replied Sir Edward Goschen, "nor the naval attache has anything to do in the nature of spying. I can assert that in the most energetic fashion. The British government has formally prohibited spying on the part of its representatives and the attache has not sent a single report to London which has not been examined by me." "Well," insisted the crown prince, "we also have military and naval attaches, and I know what their reports treat of." The British ambassador went on to argue the point, but the crown prince, not even half convinced, changed the conversation and spoke of horses. RASH ON CHILD'S HEAD 2127 Division St., Baltimore, Md.—"The trouble on my child's face and head appeared as a rash and then it got so that the skin looked drawn and water and blood would run out. That would cause a scab and her head and face were a mass of sores. They would crack and bleed and then her head began to get scaly and I thought it was dandruff. I started to take the scab off and found her head was a mass of them. When she would cry it seemed worse because the water would stream down her face and itch and she would dig and scratch. Her little head was bald as it was so sore that all the hair came out. My baby used to cry at night and I could not sleep. "Then I decided to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I would make a lather of the Cuticura Soap but her face and head were so sore I hated to touch them so I would take a soft cloth and wash her head. After I dried it with a soft towel I would gently apply the Cuticura Ointment.
