A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING The Big League Graft Exposed Elliott Received $420 On His Promise to Give 200 People Free Transportation to Boley Very Few Ride On Free Tickets, But no Account is Given The Public as to How This Money Was Spent Vol. 2, No. 47 The Big Elliott Received S Promise to Give Free Transport Very Few Ride On F Account is Given How This Mone At a meeting of the local Business League at Muskogee last week it was given out that the League was $21.00 in the hole from the expense of entertaining the National League last month, but no official statement was given out as to how the money collected was spent. Dr. R. H. Waterford, Chairman of the finance committee must have raised at least $1,000 or $1,200 from Muskogee people to be used to entertain the League. This with over $400.00 or more turned over to Mr. Elliott makes a total of at least $1,400.00 or $1,600.00 which has not yet been accounted for. The People of Muskogee and other towns in the state are anxious to know something about how this money has been used. Mr. Elliott has issued no statement of the money received, expenses, etc., but contents himself to say through the medium of "Jumbo's" organ that "the expenses were great." It is reported that he has denied emphatically that Boley bought 53 tickets to pay for the transportation of the League officials and newspaper men to Boley from Muskogee and return, as published in The Tulsa Star. The following letter, however, may serve to refreshen Mr. Elliott's memory concerning some of his high handed graft in the League affair. This letter is from the Post Master at Boley who is well acquainted with Mr. Elliott and who is known to be strictly honest and reliable. The letter follows: Boley Okla., Sept. 22, 1914. Mr. A. J. Smitherman, Tulsa, Okla. Dear Sir: Replying to your letter dated 9-21-14, beg to advise that Mr. Elliott made a trip to Boley at which time he outlined to our Chamber of Commerce that if Boley would put up $200.00 and Okmulgee $150.00 and Boynton $50.00, making a total of $400.00 that Muskogee would put up the other $400.00 making a grand total of $800.00 which was to be used in furnishing 200 round trip tickets to Boley with the necessary stops at Boynton, Okmulgee and Boley. We sent this $200 to the Exchange National Bank, Muskogee, Okla, with attached papers to be signed by Mr. Elliott or Mr. Stewart stating what this money was to be used for. This statement simply set forth that this money was put up by Boley as its part on 200 free tickets or guarantee that the Muskogee League would bring 200 people to Boley. They refused to sign the agreement complaining that we had sent this money to them with a string tied to it. When I arrived at Muskogee they were rather sore because we had sent the money as it was and also claimed that the Ft. S. & W. Ry., the road that passes here would not accommodate them and that they were not going to carry the train to Boley. We took up the matter and finally got it adjusted and the $200 was drawn from the bank by Lawyer M. J. Jones and turned over to Mr. Elliott to be used in helping to get the 200 tickets. The $200 will buy 55 tickets. (Figure it yourself at $3.75 each.) Certainly Mr. Elliott will not deny receiving $200 nor will the Exchange National Bank deny that this money was there for more than three weeks. Nor can Mr. Elliott deny that Okmulgee sent them $150, Boynton $50 and Cleavray $20. Just what this --- The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1914. money was used for I do not know nor how much money Muskogee put up I do not know but I do know that we turned over to them $200 in cash and that it will buy 53 tickets at $3.75 You may use this as you see fit and my name as well although I am not seeking an argument. Wm. L. Jones. Now then, according to the above letter Mr. Elliott must have accepted the money with which to buy 53 tickets as charged by the Star, "although he fused to accept it with "a string tied to it." Why did Mr. Elliott refuse to sign an agreement to do that which he had verbally promised to do? Why did he afterwards accept it when there was nothing binding on him to do as he had promised? And after taking it did he do as he had promised? Boley gave him $200.00, Okmulgee $150.00, Boynton $50.00, and Clearview $20.00 on the promise of Elliott that he would raise an equal sum all to be used to purchase 200 free tickets to Boley But as a matter of fact very little of this money was spent for "free tickets." On the contrary most of those who went to Boley paid their own fare. Hand bills were printed by order of Elliott announcing the excursion to Boley and on these bills the railroad fare was advertised "$3.75 for the sound trip." All newspaper men were supposed to go on these "free tickets" but only eight tickets were given the 20 or more newspaper men and women present. Even "Jumbo" did not get a ticket. Now who got the change? There is only one answer. "And the Raven replied," Elliott, Elliott, Elliott. Now, Mr. Elliott, will you please render the people a fair, honest statement? We pause for a reply. Patrolman "Shot-up" Rooming House The night patrolmen in the East End went into the back of a pool hall on North Greenwood Tuesday night and found about 25 men engaged in gambling. A grand rush was made for the exit when the officer made his appearance and to frighten them into submission the officer pulled his gun and fired three shots into the ceiling. Most of the gamesters and on-lookers were taken and the patrol wagon made two trips for them. Later on investigation it was found that one of the bullets had passed through the 2nd floor through a bed in a rooming house above and out through the ceiling. Another had passed through the floor struck the wall and fell on the bed and still another had passed through the floor a slat in the bed and lodged in the mattress. Mrs. Gist, who is owner of the building and proprietor of the rooming house complained to the police Commissioner of the reckless way in which the officer used his gun and the commissioner promised to investigate the matter. Had any one been in the bed in that room at the time the shots were fired doubtless one would have been fatal. Ask U. S.

Remove from Race That Stigma That Has Made our Women the Scapegoat of Civilization—Join the Crusade. By Otis Gans Fletcher. Open ye your eyes, my race. See ye the foundation upon which you have been established from your earliest existence in this country. Although you are a product of this great and civilized republic, which enunciates through and by that fairest and grandest of all civil documents, the constitution of the United States of America, equal justice and protection to all of its citizens, this, our fatherland, whose flag is supposed to float "over the home of the brave and the land of the free," has suffered a new race, which in two hundred and fifty years grown from an experiment of blood and amalgamation to ten million of human souls, to be established upon a foundation that no race can long exist upon—a foundation of dishonor and shame. We are unwilling to believe that this great and generous government approves a disposition on the part of any power, civil or moral, to use that influence to the grave detriment of one particular race of her citizens, and yet for some unknown cause, and to our very great d on d l e r a b d s r s o n o f the m g e h g k e d e d THE NEW YORK TIMES THE WORLD'S FINEST FEMALE SINGER BLANCHE THOMPSON Prima Donna with the "SMART SET" ```markdown ``` discomfort and embarrassment, those men to whom civilization looks for enlightenment, the men whom this great people has accepted as authority, have taken this new race of people and so far as their consideration of this race is concerned have sunk it into the deepest depths of degradation by changing the old English term "wench," which meant a young girl or serving maid, so as to in this country apply to a low, base prostitute or Negress in the United States. Thus a new race of people, instead of being tutored and elevated to the highest stage of enlightenment and civilization, is overshadowed with shame and disgrace at a time when we really did not know what shame was; and how unfair to strike at the womanhood of a race which had been given no chance to prove itself. I call upon the civilized world to imagine, if you can, the feeling of deep remorse and resentment that must weigh upon our hearts and almost crush our manhood. How long must honorable womanhood suffer such indignities? We view a wench, according to the United States definition of the term, as being the most disgraceful of human beings, and even lower than any dumb brute; so we insist that the public usage of the term wench be so changed in its application as to eliminate the honorable womanhood of all races. No moral woman should be so branded.

T. Wilson Dr. J. T. Wilson, the noted physician of Memphis, who, assisted by Dr. L. H. Johnson of Coweta, performed an almost miraculous operation on Mrs. Jas. Cherry of this city a few weeks ago, will be in Tursa today. He is coming to accompany his patient who has been confined in his hospital at Memphis since the operation and will probably remain here several days. A number of people here have decided to undergo operations by these physicians after reading of their success with Mrs. Cherry. Dr. Bryant Making Good Dr. Bryant Making Good Dr. D. W. Bryant, manager of the Peoples Drug store of this city, has suddenly sprang into popularity following some very important cases which have come under his care during the last two months, and as a result he is frequently called to our neighboring towns to treat serious cases. During the last week or two he has been called to Beggs and Pinola where he has successfully treated patients. Last week assisted by Dr. H. H. James another Colored physician of this city Dr. Bryant performed a successful operation on Mrs. Red, 525 N. Elgin. This news was soon circulated and since that time Dr. Bryant has been busy answering questions and administering medicine. It is a strange fact that most people dread operations, but when a physician makes good in this line he is usually besieged with work of that nature. No doubt this accounts for the great demands for Dr. Bryants services during the last few weeks. Dr. Bryant came to Tulsa last winter from Oklahoma City where he is well known in the business and professional world. His practice here has grown rapidly and he is now beginning to realize the fruits of his labors. SMART SET MONDAY.

The food experience of a physician in his own case when worn and weak from sickness and when needing nourishment the worst way, is valuable: "An attack of grip, so severe it came near making an end of me, left my stomach in such condition I could not retain any ordinary food. I knew of course that I must have food nourishment or I could never recover. "I began to take four teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream three times a day and for 2 weeks this was almost my only food. It tasted so delicious that I enjoyed it immensely and my stomach handled it perfectly from the first mouthful. It was so nourishing I was quickly built back to normal health and strength. "Grape-Nuts is of great value as food to sustain life during serious attacks in which the stomach is so deranged it cannot digest and assimilate other foods.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Building operations in connection with the construction of a Masonic temple at Washington for the colored Masonic Temple association, at an approximate cost of $125,000, will be begun as soon as the contract has been awarded. The plans and specifications for the edifice, which is to be of the Italian renaissance style, are being completed by Claughton West, architect, of Washington. The building, which will be an architectural and artistic ornament to the part of the city where it will be located, will be five stories high with basement. It will be fireproof throughout, steel construction being employed with reinforced concrete floors and slag roof. The structure will measure 93 feet on U street and 134 on Tenth street, and the main entrance will be on U street. Brown tapestry brick, with Indiana limestone and granite trim, will be used in its exterior construction, and the roof will be bordered with highly ornamental galvanized iron cornices. Wrought iron grills will be used in guarding many of the windows. Both facades of the building will be treated with a central pavilion feature. The front on the U street side is to be divided into three bays, separated by Italian pilasters surmounted by ornamental capitals of Indiana limestone and embracing three stories. There will be seven bays on Tenth street, all of which will be surmounted by a tablature with a medallion. The fifth story is to be treated in the form of an attic with openings in windows and wrought iron grills. There will be a roof garden laid in red tile. The rooming facilities of the structure are as follows: The basement will contain a large drill hall, office rooms, toilet rooms and heating apparatus. On the first or ground floor will be located a banquet hall, measuring 50 by 75 feet, with kitchen and serving room adjoining. There will be two stores on the U street side and five stores on the Tenth street side. A wide stairway leads from the main entrance on U street to the upper floors. An auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,200 clear-spanned and with no column support, will be the feature of the second floor. The auditorium is to be about 90 by 100 feet in dimensions, and around it will be office rooms and in the rear a promenade separated from the auditorium by a panel partition with brass railing. The auditorium is to have high arched windows, guarded by wrought iron grills. The third floor will be the balcony floor and will also have offices. The fourth floor will contain lodge and anterooms and three smaller halls, and on the fifth floor will be located lodge rooms and a spacious banquet hall. The corridors will be of marble, bordered in mosaic design. The British-colonies have enacted laws holding masters of vessels responsible for passengers landed in the colonies, excepting those passengers under contract to engage in service either for the government or for some business firm or company considered financially responsible by the government, or those convincing the government authorities that they have sufficient money within their possession to pay their return passage from the colony. The Kamerun government requires each person not a native of Africa and not engaged by the govern A pertinent suggestion for the church life has reference to the financial support of the church. Most negro churches are constantly overtaxed. The collection table is used more frequently than any other instrument in the church. The people are generous, but the desire is stronger than the ability. Often the largest influence of the church and especially of the minister, is broken on the rock of constant and necessary exhortation to give money for the support of the church. I am told that the minister shoulders the responsibility of getting the money practically alone. This is un-Baptistic. I am told that the trustees are a body who spend the money thus secured. This is un-Baptistic and unfair. They are at present merely the channels through which the church expends. They ought to be co-operating agents in securing church support. Practical experience has taught us that the greatest results come from the widest distribution of responsibility for securing adequate support for the current expenses of the church as well as for its benevo- CAN CULLINGS ment or by responsible business people in the colony upon entering the colony to have in his possession 2,000 marks ($476), and the Woermann and other steamship companies require such passengers to deposit 500 marks ($119) each against return passage to port of embarkation. While I am not certain, I think the rule holds true for French West African possessions. Thus it will be seen that Liberia is the only place American negroes can well attempt to colonize. The impression gained by conversations with various government officials of the different colonies is that the American negro is not desired. This consulate is informed that "Chief Sam" of the Gold Coast, with the assistance of some American negroes, claims to be at the head of a scheme to colonize the Gold Coast colony, or some part of the colony. My advice is to select some well-informed person to make a thorough investigation, visiting the particular section in which they intend settling, before they pay any part of their passage to West Africa. It is quite evident that some of these schemes are in every sense fraudulent. Those who have come to West Africa suffer untold misery, are for the most part illiterate farmers who have, through a long struggle, managed to save enough to pay passage for themselves and family, with barely enough to live on through their first certain attack of African malaria. Many have expressed the choice of prison life in America to freedom here. In addition to the above, now and then a misguided independent missionary comes, suffers and dies.—Consul W. T. Yerby of Sierra Leone in Daily Consular Reports. The Frenchwoman who complained that it was difficult to grow old gracefully had evidently not begun early enough. "The child is father of the man," and hence of the patriarch, and whoever would easily grow old gracefully must take care and regulate wisely the earlier stages. A little artificial tinkering later on will never compensate for radical defects permitted to persist through a lifetime. In one of his letters Huxley remarks: "Somebody started a charming theory years ago—that as you get older and lose volition, primitive evil tendencies, heretofore mastered, come out and show themselves." Huxley treated this theory too lightly; there is more truth in it than he seemed aware of. Botanists tell of defects existing in plants as "sleeping eyes," diseases remaining in a lethargic state for several years, and then, with favorable conditions, revealing themselves; while physiologists similarly allow that morbid growths in the human body may remain lethargic for years and then become disastrously active. There can be no doubt but that it is much the same with the moral life. During the years when criticism and circumstance hold us to good behavior, and in which the will is most masterful, tendencies to temper, avarice and selfishness are checked and disguised, while they become painfully obtrusive when the volitional power declines, and the consideration paid to old age gives them unrestrained play.—Exchange. The man who would reach success hasn't much time to sit under shade trees by the wayside. lences. Increasing responsibility in securing financial support should be placed upon the trustees and strongest members of the church. Another suggestion is also along the same line. There is a tremendous need of trained leadership in the fields of evangelism, education and church management. Some pastors have expressed their great desire to secure such training for the members of their church. They have expressed their appreciation of the help given by the Home Mission society in their former fields in the South, where the actual direct assistance given them in training their workers in specialized fields seems much larger than in this apparently more favored section. —Standard.

SELLERS, Director Sunday School Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 27 REVIEW. READING LESSON—John 3:14-21. GOLDEN TEXT-I come quickly; hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. Rev. 3:11. The lessons of the first quarter of this year's cycle chiefly present Jesus as the great teacher. Those of the second quarter principally concern the aspect of his saviorhood, whereas during this present quarter we see him mainly as the great judge. These lessons have dealt with matters which occurred during the last months, we may almost say the last weeks, of his life. During that "year of opposition" he is met with the most determined hostility and persecution. Nevertheless he proceeds against it all with calm assurance, in strict justice and without a shadow of faltering. This reading lesson contains the most celebrated and familiar verse in the bible. In it we see: A mighty God—"For God" A mighty motive—"So loved" A mighty scope—"The world" A mighty sacrifice—"So gave His only begotten Son" A mighty escape—"Not perish" A mighty gift—"Eternal life." We here see Jesus set forth in grace and while it does not declare that he came to judge, yet, in the passage are set forth those principles upon which he is constantly the judge, and whereby he will eventually act in the last and final judgment. God's Right In the first lesson, that of the laborers, Jesus taught his disciples the sovereignty of God. God has a right to do as seemeth best to himself. In this parable we see the true motive in service, viz., fidelity and not for hope of reward. Jesus thus prepared the way for his denunciation and judgment, of the rulers. Lesson two, which deals with the self-seeking disciples and the self-sacrificing Savior, is intended to teach that there is but one path to true and lasting greatness, and that is the path of sacrifice and service. The story of Bartimaeus, lesson three, is a beautiful and touching exhibition of his activity of mercy even in the midst of the approaching judgment. In the fourth lesson is presented the parable of the pounds and the talents. Both are spoken to the disciples and both deal with their responsibilities to himself in the coming days. Our eternal reward depends upon our acts and attitudes in the life that now is. Lesson five presents Jesus as the Messiah prophesied of in the Old Testament. It deals with the story of his coming into Jerusalem. Entering thus in such a manner demands our attention for it foreshadows the time of his judicial activity with reference to the people and the nation. The next five lessons may be said to deal with this ministry of judgment. In lesson six we see some of the preparatory signs and teaching. The blasting of the fig tree and his cleansing of the house of God are both symbolical. Lesson seven teaches us that if we fail to be faithful in the kingdom which has been entrusted to us it will certainly be taken from us. Lesson eight presents the parable of the marriage feast in which Jesus unfolds the plan of God's invitation and its human rejection in three stages. God's K仁ship. The ninth lesson is a political inquiry which our Lord answered by setting forth all of the important state relationships according to the fundamental fact of the kingship of God. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that be God's." No other answer of his better reveals the infinite wisdom, skill and tact of our Lord. In lesson eleven, the parable of the virgins, we are taught that the Lord Jesus is coming again and we must watch and be ready against that imminent event. This lesson also suggests the responsibilities of his people during his absence. The twelfth lesson is a prediction of the judgment of the nations and reveals the way by which he is to begin the administration which will ensue when that kingdom is established. There is a kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world for the righteous and a punishment prepared for the devil and those who willfully choose to do his will. Those who cast their lot with his must go with him to spend eternity.

Price $1.00 TO INCREASE RAILWAY FARES COMMERCE COMMISSION NOTIFIED OF PROPOSED INTERSTATE CHANGE. 1-2 CENT PER MILE RAISE PLANNED Action Follows Suggestion In Recent Freight Rate Decision By the Interstate Commerce Commission. Washington.—Interstate passenger fares in eastern and western territory are to be increased soon by the railroads. The new rates will be fixed on a basis of $2 1/2 cents a mile, but will vary slightly in particular cases from that base. Information received by the interstate commerce commission is that the straight fare between New York City and Chicago, for instance, will be advanced $2.00. The fares between New York and intermediate points will be based on the increase between the two large terminals. The fare between New York and Chicago will be based entirely on a $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents a mile rate and so far as practicable the fares between New York and intermediate points will bear a like mileage charge. Because of the laws of some intermediate states, fixing the maximum of interstate passenger fares at 2 cents a mile, some difficulty is being experienced by railroad officials in working out the details of the proposed advance in interstate rates, but it is expected that these difficulties may be solved. The new passenger tariffs, it is expected, may be in readiness to file with the commission by October 1. The laws require that notice of at least thirty days must be given of any change in passenger or freight rates so that in any event the proposed changes could not become effective before November 1. Passenger tariffs differ materially from freight tariffs because in each instance they must specify the rate between two points, the charges not being based as in freight tariffs, upon groups of towns or cities which take the same rates. It will require considerable time, therefore, to work out the details of what technically are known as "point to point" tariffs. The determination of the railroads to raise their passenger fares is a direct result of the suggestion made by the commission in its decision of the advance rate case. The commission expressed its belief that the freight traffic of railways ought not to bear an unjust proportion of sustaining the roads and that the traveling public, which demanded speed, safety, comfort and luxury in passenger facilities ought to be willing to pay for them. Returns from passenger traffics, the commission found, were far lower than freight traffic and inadequate when the immense amount of capital wholly devoted to passenger facilities were considered. What action the commission may take when the proposed increases are filed is somewhat problematical. It is within its power to suspend the rates pending an inquiry into their reasonableness and it is not unlikely that this action may be taken as it is certain a vigorous protest against the advances will be made. SENATE SMASHES PORK BARREL Combined Republican and Democratic Fillibuster Is Successful. Washington.—Revolting against the party leadership sixteen democratic senators accomplished the overthrow of the rivers and harbors appropriation bill and crowned with victory a fillibuster against the measure directed by Senator Theodore T. Burton of Ohio. The senate, by a vote of 27 to 22 ended the struggle over the $34,000,000 bill by adopting a motion by a democrat, Senator Bankhead of Alabama, to recommit the bill to the commerce committee with instructions that it substitute a measure appropriating a lump sum of $20,000,000 to be expended on existing waterway projects in the discretion of the secretary of war and board of army engineers. Senator Gore voted with the majority. Senator Owen was not present when the vote was taken on the amendment. A MINISTER'S WIFE L Mrs. O. F.

To look at them you would not have thought the members of the class showed much promise of literary gifts, either collectively or individually. But the teacher was an optimist, and launched gayly into a discourse on composition. Just before the class broke up he told them to write an essay that evening at home, and bring it with them in the morning. "You can write it," he told them, "on 'The Street I Live In.'" Great was the agony in 20 homes that night, as the class struggled valiantly with the task, and dubious were the faces next morning at school. The teacher collected their efforts and proceeded to read them through, growing sadder as he plodded on. At last he came to Sammy's effort. Apparently he had given up in despair, for his alleged essay consisted of about three blotted lines. "Your essay is very short!" he said sternly. "Yes, sir," answered the little darling; "so is the street I live in!" The Aeroplane. The effect of the aeroplane in warfare is shown in the statement by the official press bureau regarding the German army corps. Nearly all of them, it says confidently, have been definitely located. Presumably the German airmen are equally aware of the Franco-Belgian concentrations; and so for the first time in history a great war will be fought almost like a game of chess, where each player knows the disposition of the adversary's pieces no less than that of his own. Generalship will not be abolished by the change; there is generalship in chess, but it will be a great deal modified. Going back to the last great wars fought with civilized resources, the Japanese won their decisive victory at Mukden by bringing up an army of which the Russians were unaware at a point where they were not expecting one. Under today's conditions of aeroplane scouting the battle could not have been won in the way in which it was. Nor could the battle of Kirk Klisseh. Walved the Other Chance. "At ten o'clock tomorrow morning I will be prepared to answer your proposal of marriage." "Why the delay?" "It gives me time to play fair with another sutor.

It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information. Hall's Journal of Health.

President Howard Elliott, pleading at a dinner in New York for fairer public opinion toward the New Haven lines, said: "Public opinion, as it has shown itself in the past—it's growing a little kinder now—makes me think of the farm girl. "A young farm girl asked to have Saturday off in order to go to see a man hanged. Permission was given her and she set out before daybreak, having twenty miles to walk. "When she returned that evening she was in tears. "Why, Milly, what's—the matter? said her mistress. "Oh, dear! sobbed the girl 'Oh, dear! The man's been reprisived.'" Defining Neutrality.

The wireless outfit on the steamship Imperator comprises three separate stations—one of 15 kilowatts, for long-distance work; one of three kilowatts, mainly for communication with vessels at moderate distances, and an emergency station, worked by a powerful storage battery. The main station can exchange signals directly with the large land stations of America or Europe during the whole of the transatlantic voyage, so that the delays involved by relaying messages from ship to ship are avoided. In mid-ocean the ship is in communication with both the German station at Norddeich and the American station at Sayville. The emergency station, intended for use in case of a stoppage of the ship's dynamo, is capable of operating for six hours. Broad Hint. Hubby—Are you happy, dear?"

Wit & Wisdom Wit & Wisdom On looking over the Negroes of this town and after sizing them up man for man. I arrive at the conclusion that there are a snurprisingly large number whose hearts are so saluted with envy and all its kindred evils that speaking well of an individual is a lost art with them. Don't abuse the poor things they can't help speaking evil as long as they carry an evil heart. You must not expect good to come out of evil. Some women who have husbands that are drunkards make a great mistake in telling their husdand not to come home drunk. They should tell him to be sure to come home as soon as he gets drunk. Then they would have the pleasure of going through his pockets instead of some out side woman. It's natural that men who get drunk will get robbed and it's better that the wife do it than any other women. President Wilson has issueb a proclamation for all praying people in the U. S. to go down in prayer on Oct. 4th 1614 and ask Cod to stop the warring Nations iu Europe from killing each other. Now when I got through telling the Lord what Pres Wilson told me to ask him. Then I am going to tell the Lord I want to ask Him a few favors I will say now Lord the thing that I want to ask you is: wheu you have answered all our prayers and brought peace again in Eroupe. Then God I want you to go to Africa and make those Europeans quit enslaving those pro helpless Africans, then Lord I want you to make those Europeans give back the part of Africa that they have taken. And then Lord after you have brought peace in Europe and given back to the African their part Theu Lord there's one more favor I want to ask you, Oh Lord, I want you to have those European Kings (all that didn't get killed) to issue a proclamation to their people setting forth a day of prayer asking you Lord to please come over to the Uniteb States and stop those White people from lynching and burning we poor helpless American Negroes. Then I will say O Lord if for any reason you fail to answer any part of my prayer that I asked you I hope you wont answer the part that Pres. Wilson told me to ask you. A Negro came along one day when I was in my garden working. He looked at me and looked at my garden then remarked to me that you ought to be on the farm. I said nothing but it set me thinking that if half of we Negroes in town would go to the farm we would do ourselves a greater favor than any one will ever do for us. One reason your husbaud doesn't love you is because you want obey him Now I know you bisagree with me.

Starts Fal Sale The Harlow Brokerage Company has put on another one of their remarkable Fall and Winter sales, which in the past have characterized this store and won for it a reputation for giving bargain counter sales not found anywhere 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 could 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. Harlow is an astute farseeing business man and he has not overlooked any opportunity to supply the demands of his trade. His latest efforts to please his patrons was the purchase of $75,000 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. Harlow has enlarged his store twice during 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 is sure to come during this and future sales. Miss Reed, Mistress of the Millinery department anticipates the greatest hat sale for the fall and winter trade ever before heard of in Tulsa and she, with her force of experienced assistants, is ready for the business. Don't forget Harlow Brokerage Co., 203 S. Main. Muskogee Ph Has New Muskogee Physician Has New Treatment 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 Prussia's. 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. 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, how ever, 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." ey Conscientious.

Grand McAlester, Okla. ysician w Treatment The new anesthetic by two Oklahoma Negro physicians, Dr. E. D. Morrison, Chief surgeon of the Morrison Sanitarium and Manual Training School of Muskogee, Okla., and Dr. C. E. Smith of Vian, Okla., who is the assistant surgeon to the Morrison Sanitarium are said to be in the front ranks of surgery, regardless of Color in the entire Southwest. These two young men are doing with great success both major and minor operations without administering choloform or ether. This Aueosthetic is proving to be a world's wounder, and if it does it will be one of the greatest discoveries of modern surgery. Dr. Morrison has been working upon this anesthetic for five major operations, but one was a very old man and the other had a very bad heart. Dr. Smith declared that neither could stand the operations but the work had to be done or they would die. Dr. Morrison suggested their new aueosthetic which they used in both cases with untold success. In the old man's case the operation was very lengthy and for three and one-half hours these Negro surgeons operated without pain, knowledge or danger to this noble Negro minister who is now at home well for the first time in months. The man is the Rev. Turner of Vian, Okla. The lady who had laparotomy performed was Mrs. Bennett of Vian, Okla., who walked four blocks after the third week and is now at home looking after her cotton and corn without pains. Dr. Morrison was called to a case of blood poisoning just three days ago and not knowing that another physician had been there and had gone away to get help to put the lady asleep with chloroform and seeing the condition pulled off his coat, called one of his nurses, gave his anesthetic, operated on his patient and met the other physicians coming with their chloroform, but the lady was awake and feeling fine. These noble young surgeons intend to give their secret to the profession. The entire Negro race as well as the medical profession should be proud of these young men and others who have for their motto "Excelsior." Cornered. Cermered.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE First photograph to reach America showing the beautiful city of Louvain, Belgium, after its destruction by the Germans, who assert that the citizens fired on the kaiser's troops treacherously. RUSSIANS WINNING They Continue Forward in Austria and Prussia, and Repel Invasion of Poland by Teutonic Allies. CZAR TALKS PEACE Will Submit Plan to Limit Armaments at War's End by Federating All European Nations (Summary of Events.) The most destructive battle in history has been in progress between the Germans and the French-British allies since September 13, with results yet indecisive. More than a million are fighting on each side. During the first seven days of the struggle 300,000 men went down, either killed or wounded, according to reports from Paris, London and Berlin. Both sides are receiving re-enforcements steadily and the end of the engagement is not in sight. This is the battle of the Aisne river. It began when the Germans, retreating from the allies after the rout from the suburbs of Paris and the disastrous battle of the Marne river, crossed the Aisne and embattled themselves in the southern peaks of the Ardennes mountains. They have mounted heavy siege guns and, fighting defensively, have been able to withstand the constant assault of the allies. Military experts say this battle is of great importance because its outcome likely will be the turning point in the war. City of Rheims Bombarded. The fighting line of the two armies is almost 100 miles long, extending from Amiens in northwest France to Verdun, on the Alsatian border. The allies have advanced slightly in the east but the line has weaved back and forth in the western theater of battle. The ancient city of Rheins has been bombarded by the Germans, and the famous cathedral, built in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, together with other historic buildings, has been destroyed. In the eastern field of war, operations between the Russians and Austrians and Russians and Germans have been just as deadly as in the west. The Slavs have succeeded in blocking Austrian and German advances into Russian Poland. The weight of Russian numbers has carried the flag closer to the heart of Austria and farther westward in East Prussia. Reports vary, but it is safe to say there are two million actually fighting in the eastern field, with millions of reserves moving forward on both sides. The situation for Austria is desperate. She has been hammered and invaded on the south by the Serbs and Montenegrins, and with the failure of her operations against Russia known to the masses there has come a revolution against war. Serious rioting among the poor and the various Austrian racial elements has occurred in Vienna and Budapest. The Czar's Peace Plan. From the Far East comes word that the Japanese are closing in on the German naval base and colony at Tsing Tao in the leased Chinese province of Kaio Chow. The British and Australians have captured most of the German Pacific possessions. A highly interesting official report from Petrograd says the Czar and his advisers have made plans for establishing the "United States of Europe," which will be submitted to the world at the close of the war. The stated purpose of this federation of nations is the limitation of armaments. The authors of the plan state that civilization realizes now, or will realize with the end of present hostilities, that "gun-toting" by nations is a constant menace to peace and progress. Russia, they say, is awakening and really wants to divert billions that have gone to militarism, to education, economic organization and the development of agriculture. Aid for Von Kluck. London.—The Exchange Telegraph Paris correspondent says: "The steady advance by the British and French on the left is highly important, as the German General Von Kluk's flank is now exposed." General Von Kluk's army, according to a Soissons dispatch to the Daily Express, is being heavily reinforced. The dispatch reports that 100,000 troops are coming through Belgium by way of Maubeuge. Reports from the front, says the Exchange Telegraph Company's Paris correspondent, show that the French and British troops are fighting waist-deep in water, the rains having flooded their trenches. The French Statement. Paris.—The official statement says in violent fighting north of Soissons the Germans gained ground which afterwards was recaptured by the allies. The statement follows: "On the left wing, north of the River Aisne, below Soisson, our troops were furiously counter-attacked by superior forces and yielded some ground, which, however, they regained almost immediately. "On the other hand, we have continued our progress on the right bank of the River Oise. "Likewise to the north of Reims we have repulsed all the attacks of the enemy, although they were very vigorously conducted. "On the center to the east of Reims we have made new progress through our attacks." Fierce Fight Rages. London.One of the fiercest battles of all times, which has been raging across Northern France for a week past, with first a slight advantage on one side and then on the other, remains undecided. The great armies, which have been fighting for a month with few intermissions, have dug themselves into intrenchments on rivers and mountain ranges on a front reaching from the Oise to the Meuse and then southeastward along the Franco-German frontier. When you want a nice quick lunch for yourself or family think of Great Artillery Battles. Artillery engagements such as never have been seen before are being carried on with the hope of compelling the evacuation of the strongly held positions, with occasional successes to the opposing sides, while the infantry in the face of a galling fire, have charged right up to the guns only to make their opponents give way slightly to be repulsed with great lossse. The fighting has been fiercest on the allies left, which lies on the right bank of the Oise River in the vicinity of Reims, the famous cathedral of which has been set afire by German shells, and between that town and the Argonne ridge it has been give and take all the time.

Convoys of two army corps with thirty guns and ammunition and 5,000 prisoners are said to have been captured. The whole of the Austro-Russian border between Yusevoff and Annapolis is reported to be overrun by Cossacks who are leading the Russian advance.

PROGRAM FOR THE SECOND WEEK Horse Show, Balloonists, and Famous Automobile Racers Among Star Numbers on the Program. Oklahoma City.—The Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition has again scored a record-breaking exhibition and display of all that contributes toward making a great agricultural, live stock and industrial show. Stature and fame have been added to the eighth annual anniversary which started Tuesday, September 22, and which continues up to and including Saturday, October 3, 1914. It is a better State Fair and Exposition in every way, with the best part of the program yet to come. Crowds for the opening day of the fair came earlier than usual this year, many thousands being on hand for the first big day. Since last Saturday, according to information bureaus, railroad people and hotel men, the crowds have been larger than ever before since the State Fair was organized eight years ago. This big movement the first week of the State Fair would indicate that all prior at- A.

Announcement is made that the railroads will supply all the equipment necessary to handle the crowds the balance of this week and all of next. Street cars are operated every few seconds over double tracks to the Fair Grounds and Oklahoma City's hotels and boarding houses announce that they are prepared to take care of all who come at regular rates. Welcome a Vacation. Thousands of farmers here from all sections of Oklahoma say they have a feeling of confidence in Southwest crop conditions and they welcome an opportunity to get a week's vacation from the work which has produced a bulging yield which is now past all dangers. Prosperity is written on every man's face and all are agreed that the State Fair and Exposition is the admiration and wonder of agricultural and live stock interests. Up to the present time, not a minor chord has been struck, and from now until the closing day the program will be steadily enlarged. On Saturday, September 26, there will be a big football game between the University at STATE FAIR FEATURES, Second Week. Sunday, Sept. 27.—Music Day Concerts by Thaviu's Band and Grand Opera Singers.

Oklahoma's annual music festival will be emphasized Sunday, Sept. 27, when Thaviu's Great Russian Band, cabaret trio, tango team and other features will feature an open air concert at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. All of these entertainers, together with Holland and Dockrill, world's greatest riders; Power's New York Hippodrome elephants, will be assembled in front of the grand stand Sunday night for the Immense Night Show, which has been the climax of all the programs this week. It will be the final night show in the open, the scene next week being transferred to the Coliseum for the fifth annual Oklahoma Horse Show, which opens Monday night, September 28 for five nights. The Horse Show. The Horse Show will be the aristocratic feature of the eighth annual State Fair and Exposition. Some of the finest horses in the country will be shown and music will be furnished each night by Thaviu's Band.

The speed program for next week contains some of the biggest events, including a pacing team race on Tuesday, September 29; 2:30 trot for a purse of $1,000 on the same day; 2:25 pace for $1,000 purse and the annual Oklahoma Derby on Thursday, October 1. There will be two running races for the first four days of the week. Ed. R. Hutchinson's aeronauts have thrilled thousands this week and they will put on a still more exciting exhibition next week. The eight parachute drop is something new and all are agreed that the Hutchinson feature is far more interesting than the usual aeroplane flight. Auto Races. Oct. 2 and 3. Automobile enthusiasts from all sections of Oklahoma declare the Auto Show to be the best ever seen and the program for the coming week will be as interesting as it is varied. There are at least seventy-five makes and the big show house is always crowded. It will be headquarters for the speed demons who take possession of the race track on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 2 and 3. Half a dozen of the world's champions have already entered the auto races and the chances are that two new attendance records will be established. The entrants include Louis Disbrow, Heine Ubrecht, Joe Cleary, Fred Horey, Johnny Ralmy and Eddie Hearne. FARMER'S WIFE TOO ILL TO WORK A Weak, Nervous Sufferer Restored to Health by Lydia E.
