He will probably return to England for further engagements in April and May. Request for the services of Dr. Washington may be sent direct to him, or through the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society, Denison House, Vauxhall Bridge Road S. W. Mr. Andrew Carnegie is taking considerable interest in the tour and has written as follows: "Dear Mr. Harris: I am greatly pleased to hear that Dr. Bookor T. Washington is coming to Europe next spring to lay before public opinion some facts concerning the progress of the Negro race. I know of no better or as able to do this as Dr. Washington, who, as I wrote you on a former occasion, is a Joshua and Moses combined. "If I can be of any further assistance to you in making this tour a success, kindly let me know. Very truly yours." (Signed) "Andrew Carnegie." Ladies Organize Social Art Club The Colored ladies of Tulsa have organized a Club which promises to lend much to the social, literary and artistic interest of the East End. The organization was formed last Friday at the residence of Mrs. O. B. Smitherman, 402 North Elgin and the following officers and committees were elected: President, Mrs. A. C. Jackson, Vicepresident, Mrs. J. M. Key, Secretary, Mrs. J. H. Roberts, Treasurer, Mrs. C. M. Goodwin. Miss Myrtle Cotton. Committee on by-laws and constitution, Mrs. O. B. Smitherman, Mrs. J. W. Hughes, Mrs. H. A. Patterson The purpose of the Club is to promote the social and literary status among our women in Tulsa. They will also encourage art work, which will be one of the strong features of the new club. The ladies of the club met again at the residence of Mrs. Smitherman Thursday of this week and adopted the constitution and by-laws and named the club. No men will be allowed to attend the meetings of the club except the husbands of those who are members.

Everything imaginable was on exhibit, but perhaps the most interesting feature of all the exhibits was Tulsa and Tulsa County's chief product—babies. Little tots at all ages and sizes were there contesting for the prize and yet all ignorant of the reason for their presence there. Yesterday morning a big parade marched through the streets which was indeed good to look upon. Last night until a late hour throngs of people attended the closing hours of the fair and took a final look at the remarkable cattle, chickens, pet animals, art work, pigs, and farm products of all kinds. Tulsa still leads. Robert Lisenby, a Colored farmer of Broken Arrow, won the first prize for having the best five stalks on exhibit. --- Reduced Rates To Haskell Next Sat. The Midland Valley railroad has granted reduced rates from all points on its line between Muskogee and Tulsa for the benefit of those who wish to attend the big celebration picnic Sept. 22nd. A large number of people are expected to be present for the occasion and the Colored citizens of Haskell are making great preparation for them. White people and Indians will also attend the festivities. THE NEW YORK TIMES next year to lecture on the pro- Smart Set At Grand Sept.28 The famous "Smart Set" Co. with S. Tutt Whitney and Homer Tutt original fun producers, so well known to the theatre goers all over the country will be here in Tulsa on the 28th, just nine days from today. They will show in the Grand Opera House and no doubt many will not be able to get seats three days before the show company arrives. The "Smart Set" is a favorite everywhere and is really about the best Colored players before the footlights today. The Whitney brothers write their own plays and compose all their songs and music. "His Excellency the President" is being staged with great success by this company and the people of Tulsa will have their first opportunity of seeing this wonderful production of fun and amusement. Manager Thomas of the Grand Opera House is due the credit for opening up the season here with such a creditable Local Business League Adopts Constitution Willl Ask For Colored Patrolmen For East End company, and on the evening of the 28th he will find himself more than paid for his trouble. Says He'd Enforce The Law Well Known Deputy Claims He Is Opposed By Lawless Eile ment Only For City Patrolman Job Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 17, 1914. Mr. A. J. Smitherman, Edition The Times I am reliably informed that a certain class of citizens of the East End are bitterly opposing my appointment to the police force of this city. I do not know their reasons for opposing my appointment unless it is because they do not want the law enforced and they know it will certainly be enforced to the letter if I am appointed. They could not openly violate the law if I was on the force and if they violated it secretly I would soon get them. My record as an officer of the law is open for inspection and I defy any man to point out a single instance wherein I have knowingly shirked duty or in any way betrayed the trusts imposed in me as an officer. I was a patrolman in this city when they could find few men to accept the job and my record of four years service counts for itself. Of one thing I am sure, and that is the fact that no decent law abiding citizens are opposing my appointment. It is only those who are lether violating the law themselves or wish to profit in some way by others violating it. Of course I do not know that I will be appointed, but if I am, I serve notice now that the law will be strictly enforced, by reason and kindness if possible, by force if necessary. Yours truly, B. S. CLEAVER. The Color Line In War. (From the N. Y. World.) In an article printed in the Independent, Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, expresses himself as "unconditionally" opposed to the use of Aslatic and African troops in a European war. This is a curious prejudice on the part of the diplomatic representative of a Government that is seeking to bring Turkey into the conflict and trying to persuade the Turk to instigate a "holy war" in Egypt and India against all non-Mohammedans. When Germany went to war with the British Empire she must have expected to fight the British Empire, and not merely a selected part of the population the color of whose skin happened to meet the approval of Berlin. It is natural enough that Great Britain should bring up her Indian troops, who, by the way, are as completely identified with the Aryan race as the Prussians. But no matter what their race may be, they are part of the empire, and part of Great Britain's regular military power. If Germany were at war with the United States her troops would have to meet our Negro cavalry, than whom there are no better soldiers in uniform. German denunciation of the Indian Subscription $1.00 Per Year trolmen ss League s Constitution ored Patrolmen For End The local Business Men's League met in the Peoples Social Club Monday night and heard the report of the committee appointed at the preceding meeting of the League. The committee did some very creditable work in framing the constitution and by-laws which were adopted with only a few changes. The constitution as adopted provides for a meeting of the League once a month and the fee for membership is 50 cents. There are no monthly dues, but the executive board may assess each member as much as 25 cents in cases of emergency. New officers elected Monday night in compliance with the constitution were; A. E. Loupe, assistant Secretary, Dr. B. W. Bryant, corresponding Secretary and Shakespeare Johnson Sergant at arms. EXECUTIVE BOARD. J. W. HUGHES, President W. L. McKEE F. L. MARTIN LEE McGREAGOR J. B. STRADFORD O. W. GURLEY The constitution provides that the president and secretary be members of the executive board. After the adoption of the constitution Prof. Hughes brought up the question of Colored patrolmen for the East End. It was the consensus of opinion of those present that Colored men should be on the force in this part of the city and after adjournment the executive committee retired into secret session to come to some definite plans looking to securing two Colored patrolmen The executive committee decided to go before Chief Burns and Commissioner Quinn Tuesday to present their claims but owing to the illness of the Chief the consultation was postponed until a future date. The following named persons gave their names as new members to the League: troops is as futile as German denunciation of the Japanese as "yellow-bellies." It is too late to draw the color line in war. That line was erased more than fifty years ago by Abraham Lincoln in that noble letter to the Springfield Convention: "And there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue and clenched teeth and steady eye and well-poised bayonet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation." City Schools Are Opened The Colored schools of this city opened for business Monday with an enrollment of something more than 300. Next week will give a big increase over this number as there are many boys and girls of school age who could not get ready to start in Monday. A great deal of interest is being manifested in the work by the teachers and this term promises to be a very successful one in many ways. Following is a list of the teachers: Dunbar High School, Lula M. Sims, Clarence H. Gulliot, S. D. McRee, E. W. Woods, Principal. Dunbar Grade School, Mrs. Jas. A. Johnson, Mrs. Birdie Lynch, Mrs. J.

Austria Suffers Severely. Austra has suffered very severely during the last week. The Russians have overrun the provinces of Galicia and Wukawina, defeating the Austrians in a general confict along the Russo- Austrian border lasting seventeen days, Servian troops have successful- ly invaded southern Austria, and re ports say the Servians and Russians are pushing from two directions upon the city of Budapesth, whence they will advance upon Vienna, * Germany has had moderate success in hindering the invasion of East Prus- sla by Russia, The Slavs have taken Konlgsberg and have voyered consid- erable territory thereabouts, but they have been twice beaten with severe losses, and temporarily driven back, by the defenders. President Wilson has formally asked Germany if she will consider peace proposals of any sort at this time. It is understood the allies have sald they &re willing to talk over a proposition looking to the end of hostilities, Peace Makers Are Active. The movement for peace began about ten days ago in New York, when the German ambassador, Count Von Hernstorf, discussed the matter with Oscar Straus, American member of the Internetional Peace Tribunal. Mr. Straus communicated with the State Department at once, apd the President and Secretary Bryan immediately rounded the various European ambes- padors. ; it is undéerstoo€ that the allies wil! be willing to tresi with peacemakers ob the condition that Germany witb- crews from France and Belgium.

Allies Press Advantage. Paris —The allies, following up their revent successes, with much ardor have forced the German invaders to continue the retirement of their right flank and center from the east of Paris. The Germans abandoned much equipment and at the same time sac- rificed many prisoners and left their wounded where they fell . | The British were again prominent jin the pursuit, in which, besides tak- |ing @ large number of prisoners, they jcaptured eleven cannon, while the | French took another German regimen: tal fag.

During the nine days’ fighting it is estimated the Russians have engaged 560,000 infan. try, 40,000 cavalry, 1,500 machine guns and 2,000 field gins.” i It is possible that the Austrians have kept the Russians busy in Galicia just long enough to enable Germany to get her troops into East Prussia before the Russians were able to dispose of the Austrians and sweep down upom Silesia, Posen “and Prussia.

Nantes.—In this vast war in France a diversion has been developed of far greater significance than that worked on the German plan by Liege. Liege only interrupted that plan. Just when it seemed certain of success, the plan had been definitely changed. Why was it changed when Paris appeared within reach? After my first journey along the battle line I indicated the rapid advance of the German right wing moving directly on Paris through Amiens. The tunnels of Amiens were blown up behind the last train of fugitives of whom I was one. Saturday, August 29, the enemy seemed irresistible. The northwest coast of France as far as Dienpee was in their hands. But even then I had reason to believe the allies were favorably disposed to check that advance. I was unpleasantly surprised on my second journey south to find that at Beauvais, south of Amlens, I was actually between the French and German forces. A rapid and perilous flight from there along the German front brought me to Criel, 30 miles north of Paris. I found the British headquarters and center of the allies there. That night, September 2, the main军队 were in contact. I spoke to British soldiers engaged that day at Senlis, only 12 miles from the Paris fortifications. Big Battle Beginning. Paris was within sound of the German guns. A stupendous battle was beginning. The German forces were beginning to strike as I got into Paris. But the allies were between and ranged on either flank of the Germans in the northeasterly direction to Aumale and Mezieres. The scenes in Paris will never be forgotten. Parisians could learn nothing from their heavily censored press. They could not believe me when I told them the English infantry had encountered the Prussian cavalry close to their city. There were, however, no signs of panic. Indeed, I have seen nothing of that sort in the whole French war area. What one saw in Paris was grief. The streets and railway stations became filled with weary, anxious fugitives. Was there anything on earth which could stop the Germans? The French soldiers smiled contentedly when discussing the matter. It looked bad enough, they admitted, but what if the Prussians thought so, too? Driven Back Now. And now there is not one Prussian so close to Paris. They realize that something to their disadvantage has occurred and have changed their minds about at 3:30 a. m. The train was so full of refugees that they were massed in corridors propped up against each other asleep. I had part of a compartment floor to sleep on. The horrors of that journey are part of the Armageddon, no doubt. But they do not come into this narrative. We crept stealthily through long lighted tunnels. The wheels hardly moved. A few days before the country to the east "was only possible," as Frenchmen put it. The Germans were everywhere. As we now progressed I became conscious that a weight had been lifted from that part of France. The Germans Gone. The Germans had gone. There was no doubt of it. We saw men fishing and pulling carrots in a district that but a few days before seemed overrun by the enemy's legions. What was to stop them? Apparently very little. The French force, I can vouch, was far too weak to be effective. It really looked as though there were an invitation for them to come that way. Had the three days' battle at Crell checked the enemy? Something momentous had happened. To the northeast the Germans had passed Rheims. A hurried motor journey showed in that direction the land was clear. It was quite evident they had changed their plan of attack and their front and were marching southeast with their usual rapidity. New Move Seen. I set out to discover what had happened. Was the battle fought by the German right at Crell intended to mask a new German movement to break through the French forces ranged northeasterly through Rheims? The German forces had been moving with exceptional mobility and strength almost due south from the line of Lille and Namur. The French and British forces had been forced back from position to position. Indeed, it is wonderful the KAISER PROTESTS AGAINST CRUELTIES London.—The correspondent of the Daily Mail at Rotterdam has telegramed the text of the message sent by Emperor William to President Wilson under date of September 4. It is as follows: "I consider it my duty, sir, to inform you as the most notable representative of the principles of humanity that after the capture of the French fort of Longwy my troops found in that place thousands of dumdum bullets which had been manufactured in special works by the French government Such bullets were found not only on French killed and wounded soldiers and on French prisoners, but also on English troops. "I solemnly protest to you against the way in which this war is being waged by our opponents, whose methods are making it one of the most barbarous in history. Besides the use of these awful weapons the Belgian government has openly incited the civil population to participate in the fighting and has for a long time carefully organized their resistance. The cruelties practiced in this guerrilla warfare, even by women and priests, toward wounded soldiers and doctors and hospital nurses—physicians were killed and lazarettos fired on—were such that eventually my generals were compelled to adopt the strongest measures to punish the guilty and frighten the bloodthirsty population from continuing their shameful deeds. "Some villages and even the old town of Louvain, with the exception of its beautiful town hall (Hotel de Ville), had to be destroyed for the protection of my troops. "My heart bleeds when I see such measures inevitable and when I think of the many innocent people who have lost their houses and property as a result of the misdeeds of the guilty. "WILHELM I. R." German war engine did not smash our lines. I was a witness to re-enforcements being poured eastward and northward continually to build up and strengthen the allies. The French and British fell back almost as far as Paris, temporizing and resisting with a vigor that must have astonished the Prussians. It became clearer to the German general staff that just when they were within reach of Paris the strength opposed to theirs was more than their fatigued and shaken men could penetrate. Their left flank was opposed to France's army. While that force remained unbeaten any attack on Paris might be fatal to them. So they wheeled as in desperation. Time as well as their enemies is against them. Whether they will eventually succeed is, of course, more than I can say. Obviously the French troops holding the line of the eastern forts are now in a different position. No doubt, too, the Germans expect to owen a way so that their Luxembourg army can join them. The Germans are well south of Rheims. Some days since they were advancing down the west side of the Argonne hills. Chalons-sur-Marne has been abandoned by the French. British cavalry has been engaged at Nogents-sur-Seine. The German line last Saturday was from La Ferte-sur-Jouarre, on the River Marne, fifty kilometers east of Paris, through Chateau Thierry to somewhere below Rheims. It is possible a great battle is now raging south of Troyes with the French army of the east. I have evidence to show that the new German move did not take our military authorities by surprise. Last Thursday a rapid movement of French troops began to the eastward and northward. It was aimed to meet a new southeasterly move of the Germans. In towns like Dijon, in the south and southeast of France, large garrisons existed a week ago. They are now empty. A week ago Versailles was an armed camp. The troops had disappeared when I was there on Friday. For nearly a week a mass of men have been gathering to intercept the deflected Prussian tide. When I left the scene I saw no reason to doubt that eventually the allies will be able to dam that ominous torrent. I have spoken everywhere with French officers and men. Nowhere at any time have I seen anything but quiet confidence about the ultimate issue in France. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR FARM POULTRY PROTECT THE LATE HATCHES Chicks Are Special Prey of Rats, Weasels and Hawks Unless Proper Precautions Are Taken. Late-hatched chicks often become the special prey of rats, weasels and hawks unless proper precautions are taken to avoid losses from this source. These enemies seem worse in late summer than early in the season. In the case of rats, this is accounted for by the fact that as soon as hot weather arrives many of them desert their hot quarters around the barns and sheds and take to the old board and rail piles, as well as to the patches of thick weeds and grass. Here they lurk, ready to pounce upon unsuspecting chicks. As to preventive measures: first, all harbors near the chicks' runs should be banished and the rodents destroyed before they have had time to do any harm. Until this is done the best preventive measure is the free use of wire netting about the coops, such as screening ventilation holes, providing screen doors. Nor must it be forgotten that rodents can burrow, hence when these enemies are present floors in the coops are necessary if losses would be avoided. It is when chicks run in an open field that hawks and crows do the most mischief. When there are trees or shrubbery in the yards, with a few convenient shelters of boards or boxes under which the chicks can speedily seek protection when a bird of prey swoops down, the losses will not be great. REGARDING DUCKS AND GEESE Latter Will Practically Take Care of Themselves if Given Free Range of the Farm. Never feed ducks without first providing plenty of fresh, clean water, as the birds always take a sip of water after each mouthful of food. Ducks will often choke themselves on dry food unless water is right at hand. A chicken will pick up the grit it needs, but a duck will not, therefore it must be provided for them in their food. Young geese are ready for market when the tips of their wings reach the tail, or in about ten or twelve weeks. A Fine for Thanksgiving Day Dinner. If allowed free range of the farm geese will practically take care of themselves and only require a handful of grain once a day. A swamp where other animals seldom go furnishes excellent pasturage for geese in the late summer and early fall as they find in such places tender grass and roots and many fat, juicy bugs and worms. THREE BREEDS OF CHICKENS Heavy Layers Are Not Confined to Any One Class Is Shown by Australian Competitions. (By PROF. DRYDEN, Oregon Agricultural College.) That the heavy layers are not confined to any one breed has been shown by laying competitions in Australia, which have extended over a period of six years. In three of the six years, the white leghorns laid the most; in two other years the silver wyandottes won, and in one year the black langshans stood first. These breeds represent the three different classes of fowls, namely egg breeds, general purpose breeds and meat breeds.

He’s everywhere, in everything. The Colored Schools of Tulsa have opened with the same en-|a thusiasm as the White schools of the city, among both teachers and | | pupils. a Mr. Isaach Fisher, editor of the Negro Farmer, published at ; Tuskegee, Alabama, has been awarded a prize of $500.00 offered | by Everybodys Magazine for the best written letter on rum, Mr. |! Fisher's letter was sellected as the winner from about 9,00 other |’ letters. Another little plum for the race. Pe re v A QUESTION IN BLACK AND WHITE. d The police raided a resort in the red light district Sunday morn- ing and found a Negro man in company with a White woman. The two were tried before Judge Clark Monday morning’and sentenced to pay fines of $100.00, each to serve ninety days in jail. The evening paper branded the case as an atrocious crime in bold type on the front page. Now no decent citizen complains about the penalty immposed on the two defendants. Judge Clark simply en- forced the law to the limit and no one objects to this—except the defendants. But this case has raised a question which many de- cent citizens of Tulsa would like to have explained. Out in the red light district, near the house where the White woman was found with a Negro, there is a resort, the inmates of which are all Negro women kept there for the exclusive use of White men. Now then if these Negro women are permitted to ply their indecent trade with White men, why was it such an enor- mous crime for this White woman to engage in the same business with a Negro man? The decent people of Tulsa White and Black are opposed to the licensing of these places especially in the city limits and especially are they oppesed to the low bred White man openly consorting with these lewd Negro women without protest or interfearance from the city officials. If Negro women of this class are allowed to associate with White men, we contend that White women of this class should have the same right to associate with Negro men, however rediculous the thing may seem to some of us. The Star rises to suggest that the red light district be removed out side the city limits. It is a publie sore surrounded by some of the best citizens of Tulsa, both black and white and no respectable man or woman would object to its removal. Let the decent White women of the city and the decent Colored women of the city get busy and remove this immoral cancer, “Jumbo” Defends His Master A little pussilanimous cuss, posing as editor of a little fraternal paper in Muskogee, well known in various towns in the United States where he has lived till the people found him out, as “Jumbo” has taken upon himself the task of defending T. J. Elliott against the exposures published in the editorial columns of this paper under the head of “Little Big Men Among Negro Leaders” about three weeks ago. We do not care to honor this little insignificant bigot with the dignity of » reply, but we would like to know what was the real inducement or consideration prompting such an attempt—a foolish weak attempt—to give the lie to our editoral in face of the fact that responsible influential citizens of-Muskogee, subscribers for the Star, have subscribed to the truth and fairness of it. There are three Colored papers in Muskogee and Two White dailies. Mr, Elliott and his Leaguemen paid to the papers of Muskogee approximately $100.00 for advertising the coming of the National League. Each of the daily papers run a half pag: ad one time. We do not know how much the Colored papers run, but we will put up $25.00 in any bank to be turned over to the publisher of either of the Colored papers in Muskogee who will make an affidavit to the effect that he received as much as $10.00 for advertising the Business League. It is not Mr. Elliott’s policy to pay Negro newspapers for advertising. At least 98 per cent of his trade is of course from Colored people but 9914 per cent of the money he spends for advertising goes to the White papers. The Star exchanges with the Daily Phoenix and Times Democrat of Muskogee and we also receive the Colored papers of Muskogee in exchange and we now recall that the only advertising of Mr. Elliott’s business we've seen in these papers were in White papers Any Negro editor or manager in Muskogee or anywhere else who says he has ever received a fair portion of Elliott’s advertising is entitled to honorary membership in the Annias Club. Every intelligent citizen in Muskogee knows this is true. Now then we contend that the Elliott policy as effecting the race journals is not in keeping with the principles advocated by the National Business Men’s League and the newspaper man who is blind enough to take issue with us on this score is worse than a fool and a bigger enemy to the race than Elliott with his narrow policies, THAT THE PUBLIC MAY KNOW just how much of the money raised by Dr. Waterford of Muskogee to entertain the National Negro Business League last month was really spent an expense oc- count should be published, showing every detailed item and the balance, if there be any, left in the treasury. Dr. Waterford’s work as chairman of the finance committee was all that could be expected of any man even under more favorable circumstances. It was his untiring efforts that made this great convention the success it was from a financial standpoint, notwithstanding the fact that others are trying to lay claim to this honor. We do not know who this money was turned over to, but we do know that the people of Muskogee are entitJed to: know how this money was spent. As president of the State League Mr. Elliott is responsible to the people for this information. Will he try to dodge the issue? Later on we will publish the number of tickete sold for the trip to Boley, the amount of money turned over to Mr. Elliott by Boley and Okmulgee with which to pay transportation for officers of the National League and newspaper men and ask Mr. Elliott for an honest statement. May be editor “Jumbo” can give us a satis- factory explanation.(?) _Many hard things have been said about | Dr. Waterford since the League met, and before, but we know Dr. Waterford to be an honorable man in all of his dealings, and fat \above little things that make so many “Big Men” small. It wil be remembered that Booker T. Washington publicly commended '| Dr. Waterford for his splendid work for the League and remem. |ber, lv. Waterford is not a member of the League. The Tuls¢ |Stur, which has as large a circulation in Muskogee as all the Color. ed papers published there, would be glad to publish free of charg ‘lan itemized statement from Mr. Elliott showing how and for what the money raised for the League was spent. TULSA, OKLA, STAR HOGS vs. COTTON. OKlahoma City, Okla, Sept. 15, 1914. A. J, Smitherman, Editor Tulsa Star, Mr. Editor: Chas. N. Bancroft, of Bickford, Blain County, Okla, the latter part of November, 1907 bought a brood sow for $15.00, and between that date and December, 1913, sold over $5,000.00 worth of hogs from her offspring. Not- withstanding the fact that he was forced to buy most of the grain with which to finish them, and was forced during the early part of tais pertod to sell some of the hogs at $5.25 per ewt., his net profit was $2,000.00, To use his own words, he “gambled on a corn crop,” when he should have “pinned his faith to kafir, milo, feterita and cowpeas, the sure feed crops of Okla homa, and his profit would have beer much greater.” At this time of year hundreds 0 breeders in Oklahoma are offering fo sale pure bred boars and brood sows Are your farmer customers taking ad vantage of this supply of pure bre stock to increase their herds and in sure a supply of a farm product tha will never go begging for a marke as cotton is doing now? We can furnish you the name of a Joklahoma breeder crose to you why Jhas for sale what your farmers nee in the way of breeding stock.

Rev © E Bailey, Pastor Maylizzie Jones, Church Clerk Wit And Wisdom Me ee cee eae In looking over the Negro leadership, I find many fences that need repatring, for Instance take some of our supposed to be Infelligent Negro Ministers give them a newspaper and they are unable to distifiguish between fiction and truth. A case in point that I might mention, 1 introduced myself to ay intelligent look- ing Negro In a nearby city a few weeks ago, and after a few remarks about the weather and the prospects for rain, etc., I mentioned the great European war, stating that thousands had already been sfiin in battle, and before 1 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 thelr papers and he expressed surprise that I was silly enough to let them “take me In" so easy. He closed by saying he never pald no at- tention 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 overcame with intel- Jligent leadership in a year. Now if that class of Negroes will read newspapers ‘and magazines more, and tell less funny | tates and vulugar Jokes, they will be bet- ter enabled to hold an Intelligent con- versation at least. In this clty there are many people that do many foolish things In order to bé lcalted a great man, but the biggest foo of all Is the man who is doing anything und everything for a dollar and who ts |doing nothing for his fellowman. Mone | will not make any man great, but litt | acts of kindness, will T saw a woman going down the street the otner day she was carrying a tw year old dog in her arms, and her tw: ‘year old baby was walking along behin her. I don't expect the father of the dos to make a kick, but T wonder how lonj will the father of the baby stand fo such things, A dog In @ woman's arm 1s an unholy combination, A white woman told a Negro man t , [bring her a woman cook that would nc hive no man come about her. The Negr man told the white woman that the onl place such @ woman could be found wa in the graveyard or cemetery. I droppe into a neat cigar sand cold dring stor one day last week, a very nice lookin young lady was employed behind | th y |counter, A couple of silly young Nest men were in. there doing thelr very bes alto make her lose her job, by attemptin to make love across the counter, Peop don't hire girls in thelr shops to mak y Jlove, and any Kirt that allows silly bo to attempt such, will soon be hunting f €|another Job, More to follow later.

Starts Fall Sale ‘The Harlow Brokerage Company has put on another one of their remark- able Fall and Winter sales, which in the past have charaetized this store and won for it a reputation for giving bargain counter sales not found any- where else in town, Heretofore, this store has bought enormous stocks from bankrupt concerns which handled foreign made goods and have thus been able to put the very highest quality of material in reach of the working man and woman who coufd not afford to pay the high prices for the same goods at other places. However, the war in Europe has checked the importation (of foreign made goods, but Mr. Har- low is an astute farseeing business man and he has not overlooked any opportunity to supply the demands of Inte trade. His latest efforts to please his patrons was the purchase of $76,- 000 worth of American made goods at a price which will allow him to give to his customers the same all round bargains they have been accusomed to getting in the past. Mr. Harldw has enlarged his store twice durirt; this last year and now he has fitted up in exquisit style all of the ground floor of the same store room and is ready for the grand rush which {s sure to come during this and future sales. Miss Reed, Mistress of the Millinery department anticipates the greatest hat sale for the fal: and winter trade ever before heard of in Tulsa and she, with her force of experienced assist- ants, is ready for the business.

Haskell Colored Folks to Celebrate SEPTEMBER 22-23 EMANCIPTION CELEBRATION. There will be a grand celebration to celebrate the issuing of the proclama- tion that Emancipated the slaves. Representatives from the following towns have named Steve Lowary Park % mile East of Haskell as the place of celebration: Haskell, Red Bird, Taft, Boynton, Yahala, Muskogee, Clarks- ville, Coweta, and Tulsa, This cele- bration will bring together more peo- ple 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 See 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, Lousiana and Oklahoma clebrate 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 emancipa- tion proclamation to the Vice Presi- dent Hamlin on July 22, 1862 President read his proclamation to his cabinet and on the 22 day of September 1862 he issued the preliminary emancipation proclamation that emancipated the slaves. Among other things he said that on the first day of June 1863 al 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 for- ever 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 1jof action, There is no better time to 1|show to the world the advancment in «education, agriculture, economy and in various Industries.

LEARNING THINGS When a simple change of diet brings back health and happiness the story is briefly told. A lady of Springfield, Ill., says: "After being afflicted for years with nervousness and heart trouble, I received a shock four years ago that left me in such a condition that my life was despaired of. "I got no relief from doctors nor from the numberless heart and nerve remedies I tried, because I didn't know that coffee was daily putting me back more than the doctors could put me ahead. "Finally at the suggestion of a friend I left off coffee and began the use of Postum, and against my expectations I gradually improved in health until for the past 6 or 8 months I have been entirely free from nervousness and those terrible sinking, weakening spells of heart trouble. "My troubles all came from the use of coffee which I had drunk from childhood and yet they disappeared when I cuit coffee and took up the use of Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Many people marvel at the effects of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum, but there is nothing marvelous about it—only common sense. Coffee is a destroyer—Postum is a rebuilder. That's the reason. Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There are some persons who think that race antipathy, in the sense of "a dislike for the unlike" and an aversion from social contact and a repugnance toward race intermixture, has served and still serves a good purpose, is a comment of Daniel Evans in the Boston Globe. In the first place it is claimed that race antipathy has served the purpose of keeping the blood of a race pure, and thus securing its superiority. This claim presupposes that one race is superior to another by its very constitutional endowments, and, therefore, the superior and the inferior races are kept apart by race antipathy. Again, it is held by others, on far better grounds, that race antipathy has served to preserve the life of races. The various races once lived largely in a hostile environment. They were obliged to be on guard always against foes. War was their main business, and suspicion the rule of their life. Race antipathy at this level was the fighting instinct and made for race preservation. Once more, it is maintained by others that race antipathy has made for the conservation of particular cultural values. These values are held to be dependent upon certain races, not only for their production, but also for their conservation. Now it may be admitted that race antipathy has served, very largely, to keep the races separate, but it is quite evident that it has failed in millions of instances in our land and elsewhere in the world and in all periods of history. Wherever there has been intermixture of races, through illicit intercourse, there antipathy has failed. Where it is desirable, at present, to keep members of widely divergent races from intermarriage, it is better to create moral barriers, those of reason and character, than to depend upon race antipathy. And where it is desirable that members of races more closely allied should intermary, race antipathy may hinder race virility, diversity and progress. Thus race antipathy is inadequate for restraint, at the lower levels, and on the higher levels it may prove detrimental to civilization. In like manner, we may admit that race antipathy has made for race preservation at one level and under certain conditions, without being forced to concede that it is necessary now. We are on a higher level, and race preservation is better secured through reason and character than through mutual aversion. The member of a persecuted race or a racial group or a backward race is better protected today by its moral character and the conscience of humanity. There was a huge parade on Labor day by the colored branch of the International Longshoremen and Cotton Jammers, an organization recently established in Indianapolis. Plans had been made to unite the longshoremen's parade with that of the Emancipation park, bringing out the entire negro organizations of the city into one parade for this occasion. An American steel company has acquired immense deposits of iron ore in Chile that it proposes to ship to the United States, at the rate of 1,000,000 tons annually on the opening of the Panama canal, and it is said that other American interests are investigating the field. The patent office has reported a partial list of nearly 500 patents issued to negroes, among them twenty-seven to Granville T. Words of New York for electrical devices, many of which are in use throughout the country, one of particular value having been adopted by the Bell Telephone company. Elijah McCoy, a negro inventor of Detroit, has patented more than thirty-five inventions, one of them being a lubricating machine which is used on many locomotives in the United States. A man in east Manchester, N. H., possesses an unusually intelligent horse, which can tell its own age, striking its hoof on the ground 25 times, and can indicate by nods whether or not it has had dinner. It follows its master without a halter and drives without the use of reins. India is developing an important turpentine industry, though it does not yet supply the home market. Fish guano as a supplemental food for cattle, hogs and poultry is coming into general use in Germany. TULSA. OKLA., STAR Among the conclusions reached by Mr. Alexander Bettis of South Carolina, principal of the Bettis academy, was that flocking to town was fundamentally bad for the negro. He constantly affirmed that the best place for the colored man was on the land as a tiller of the soil. He was also certain that labor on the land should be intelligently performed, therefore the young men and women of the race should be educated according to their practical needs. Opportunities for such education existed after a fashion in the towns and cities. According to the Bettis theory of the fitness of things, sending young people from the country to be educated to work on the farms was logically foolish and morally mischievous. Reasoning in rather a straight line, this preacher concluded that the thing to do was to bring adequate educational opportunity to the people of the country. He knew that his theory was right, but applying it was not easy. Bettis believed that part of the business of life was to meet obstacles and emergencies and throw them off the track. Manifestly the first thing to do was to make a beginning. This he did by securing enough land for a nucleus. This negro preacher knew his own limitations, and that he did not know how to manage an educational institution. His next step was to select and equip two young men for this task. They were sent first to the Schofield Normal and Industrial institute at Aiken, one of the first schools established in the South for the education of the negro. Then they took courses in Atlanta university. One of them died soon after Bettis' academy was started. Twenty-eight years ago the surviving young man, Alfred W. Nicholson, took charge of the institution, and ever since then the story of success in individual equipment and land development clusters around this man and his wife. The plant of Bettis' academy has been a growth like Topsy. From the small beginning of one primitive building the plant has expanded into a cluster of buildings, plain, to be sure, but suited, if not adequate, to the substantial educational work which the school fosters. Falling or jumping down a 55-foot well on the farm of his father, the four-year-old son of B. Frank Minch, near Beebe Run, showed such pluck and courage that his rescue was accomplished after an exciting half-hour of work by a brave negro farm hand. The lad was playing with other children when some of them dared him to get into the box about the pump used for lowering cream and milk into the well to keep cool. Then he either fell or, under the stimulus of the dare, jumped the rest of the way. The children gave the alarm and help was quickly at hand. The colored farm hand climbed down the well by bracing his feet against the brick walls, and then he lowered a clothesline to the lad, who all that time had clung coolly and courageously to the pump box and kept his head above the water, though how he managed to grasp the pump in his fall is a mystery. The child made the line fast to his little body, and was being raised when the line broke and he fell back. He still grabbed the pump box, and a stronger line finally got him to the surface in safety.—Shiloh (N. J.) dispatch to Philadelphia Inquirer. The heroism of the negro bellboys, who fought with suffocating clouds of smoke while they rushed through narrow hallways, banging upon doors, arousing guests and rescuing small children, probably averted serious loss of life in a fire of mysterious origin which threatened to completely destroy the Hotel Islesworth at Atlantic City, N. J. Over three hundred guests suffered heavy losses by the blaze, which swept through practically the whole of the fourth floor of the big, rambling frame structure. While the fire was at its height dense clouds of smoke swept into the dance hall on the Garden pier, three squares away, where an audience of fully 1,000 people, including guests of the Islesworth, who knew nothing of the blaze at their stopping place, were enjoying a moving-picture show. Some one yelled fire and the audience promptly stamped for the doors. In the intense excitement in the darkened hall forty women fainted and several were trampled on, while the panic-stricken audience tried to reach the exits. 5 Women Avoid Operations For years we have been stating in the newspapers of the country that a great many women have escaped serious operations by taking Lydia E.

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 20 JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS. LESSON TEXT Matt. 25:31-46 LESSON TEXT-Matt. 25:45. GOLDEN TEXT-Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of the least, ye did it not not unto Me. Matt. 25:45. I. The Congregation, vv. 31-33. This is one of the difficult and much-controverted passages of our Lord's Olivet prophecy. The title "Son of Man" is one which refers to our Lord's earthly relations and administration, and is one not otherwise used in this prophecy. Jesus is speaking to his disciples. He looks beyond the dark passion so rapidly approaching to the light of the ultimate fulfilling of his purpose for this world. Our Lord here makes no reference to the final judgment mentioned in the Apocalypse. In that hour earth and heaven will flee away. Here there is no such passing away nor do the dead appear. The son is enthroned. He administers judgment. He is assisted by the accompanying angels. The believer must appear before the judgment (II Cor. 5:10; Rom. 14:10), but his destiny is decided the moment he believes, John 5:24. Christ first came in humiliation, when he comes this time 'twill be in "glory" (v. 31). He may come at any moment, Matt. 24:42-44. This scene is more the description of a judgment than of a trial. The testing is taking place today. Separating Test. II. Those Commended, vv. 34-40. The separating test is the attitude of the nations toward the brethren of the Lord. Here Jesus emphatically speaks of his kingship, hence the honored position, "on his right hand." In his teaching Jesus had emphasized the fact that those who do the will of God are his next of kin. Here they are, "Ye blessed of my father." This word "blessed" means, literally, "well spoken of." We are blessed of God in the heavenlies in Christ, Eph. 1:3, but we are also to be blessed with an inheritance in the kingdom. See Gal. 5:19, 21; Eph. 5:5; I Cor. 6:9, 10 contrasted with II Tim. 2:2; 4:8; James 2:5; Rev. 21:7. This blessing is a gift, Luke 12:32, which has been prepared "from the foundation of the world" (v. 34). Man's destiny depends upon the object and act of his faith, but the test, the proof, the evidence of that faith is in his conduct (Gal. 5:6; James 2:17, 18). Altruism does not save the soul, but a truly saved soul will be compassionately serviceable. It is ours to assuage the thirsty, John 4:14, 6:55; ours to feed the hungry, John 6:32, 35; ours to receive the stranger, Eph. 1:23, 18, 19; ours to clothe the naked, Isa. 64:6; ours to visit the sick, Luke 1:68, 78; and ours to visit the prisoner, Luke 4:18. Note carefully the unconsciousness of good deeds. The Christian is so identified with Jesus Christ as to regard these deeds as not his own, but "Christ within." The real test is not so much love for God or Christ whom we have not seen, but love for the brethren whom we have seen (I John 3:17). Our attitude toward our brethren is the evidence that we have received Christ. Our life of service, though we may be "the least," will be commended before the throne and the assembled nations and angels. He is identified with "the least." This sentence needs to be interpreted in the light of the entire scene and its relationship. Those commended are sent away into an age-abiding life of felicity. The Other Side. III. Those Condemned, vv. 41-46. Turning now to the other side, what a change we behold! "Come" is now "depart," not to age-abiding joy, but to age-abiding fire, which is age-abiding punishment. We do not infer that this parable refers to the place of the departed dead, to the final judgment of sin but to the time of his second advent and that the life that is blessed and the place of punishment are on this earth during the age of his millennial reign. Such at least is as far as we feel we have a right to go in the interpretation of this parable. Those who do not listen to the "come" of Jesus now, will hear his "depart" hereafter. Notice there is no reference to the father following the curse such as we find in connection with the "blessed." Men are cursed by themselves, John 5:40. Those who seek to save themselves are likewise cursed, Gal. 3:10. The kingdom is prepared for the righteous and punishment is not prepared for man. It was prepared for the devil (41) and his cohorts.

PIMPLES ON SCALP ITCHED Lewisburg, Tenn.—"Four years past I had a very bad scalp trouble that commenced with itching. Later my hair got thin and my scalp sore and I could not sleep for scratching at times. I did not get the sleep that was restful and refreshing. I was losing my hair fast. I had pimples on my scalp which itched and burned so that I scratched and irritated them. I had dandruff which scaled off and showed on my clothes. "I tried almost every noted scalp remedy and hair tonic without success. Then I commenced using Cuticura Soap and Ointment and was relieved of the itching and sore scalp after three shampoos and applications of the Ointment. After using both the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for three months I was completely cured." (Signed) F. B. Lewis, Jan. 1, 1914. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

The unifying of interest with the co-operation 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 Atiana; W. E. King, of Dallas; J. A. Booker, of Little Rock; and R. H. Boyd, of this city. This committee reported at Muskogee that arrangements 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 endorsed a new improved plate service that will furnish the papers throughout the United States with a uniform lot of news, well written, well arranged and artistically displayed.
