Tulsa Star

A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, And The Knights And Ladies of Harmony of The World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction Asks Elliott to Make Sworn Statement Says He Has Valuable Information Concerning The Business League Asks Elliott Texas Editor Gets Says He Has Valuable In cerning The Business The following editorial was clipped from the San Antonio Inquirer of the 17 inst. We reproduce it here to show that the Star is not alone in its claim that president Elliott has been wholly unfair to the Colored press. Again we remind you that not a single Colored paper has received as much as $5.00 out of the $277.00 Elliott says he spent for advertising, etc. This statement has been made repeatedly without contradiction. See what the Inquirer says: The Big League graft which has been uncovered in Oklahoma by the Tulsa Star is attracting nation wide attention. President T. J. Elliott of the Muskogee Business League seems to possess those sterling qualities of Bull Dog Tenacity. He seems to have such a grip on the finance of the people until he can't turn loose. It is regreatable indeed to be branded with grafting the finance that was raised to entertain the Fifteenth Annual Session of the National Business League after he (Elliott) and his associates from the state of Oklahoma had influenced Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the league to bring the fifteenth annual session to Muskogee with the assurance that every thing would be carried out in high order. Will Mr. Elliott cause the people to believe that it was his object to use the league as a blind to graft on the people to whom he pledged himself to use the money entrusted to him for the expressed purpose of entertaining the members of the National League and visitors and to furnish free transportation to the league and the Press Association from Muskogee to Boley by refusing to truthfully account for every dollar that was turned over to him? Will Mr. Elliott refuse to give a sworn statement of facts concerning the expenditure of the finance and the names of the Negro Newspapers to whom he claims that he paid $300.00 for advertising the League? The Tulsa Star is offering a $25.00 reward to the editor or manager of any colored newspaper of the state who will swear that he received as much as Ten Dollars from Mr. Elliott for advertising the League. The newspapers of Oklahoma have grown indignant over the false declaration of President Elliott's claiming that he had paid them $300.00 for advertising the National Negro Business League, when in reality the newspaper men could not get a free ride to Boley after Elliott's promise to furnish all members with same without their solicitation. The Editor of the Inquirer was present in a business meeting of the National Press Association when a representative from the National Negro Business League announced that all the members of the Press Association would be furnished free transportation from Muskogee to Boley. After the adjournment of the League, transportations were applied for by President Malvin Chism, and Mr. Elliott refused to furnish the transportation according to promises, only furnishing eight tickets for the occasion, after informing the press association that all of the members would be carried free. We are surprised to know that Mr. Elliott transacted the people's business in that way, after it was entrusted to his care. Post Master Jones, who is a native Texan and an honorable colored man can be relied upon for whatever he says. Miss Cynthia A. Petit, Dr. J. T. Walton, G. W. Bouldin, of this city, B. J. Davis of Atlant, Ga., Hon. R. W. Tyler, Ex-Auditor of the U. S. Navy and several other distinguished Negroes were the guests of Post Master Jones at an elaborate luncheon at his home in Boley Saturday, August 22, when many topics of interest were dis The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1914. cussed. The Inquirer is in possession of valuable information concerning the management of the people's business that was entrusted to the local committee at Muskogee to entertain the Business League in August and it is regrettable that Mr. Elliott and his associates conducted the business in such deplorable manner, all reports are true. Since Mr. Elliott has been accused of the "Big Graft," The Inquirer suggests that the committee who has unearthed the mystery, demand of Elliott a sworn itemized statement of all the money collected and expended so that the truth may be brought to light. Will Elliott furnish an itemized statement of the finance? NEGRO MADE CAPTAIN OF A BIG BATTLESHIP The only one of the greatest nations in the world that enjoys the distinction of having a Negro ranked and recognized officially as a naval captain is France. Lieutenant Mortenol a Negro and a native of Guadeloupe, has recently been promoted on account of services to the French government to the rank of captain in the French navy. While there are many representatives of foreign races in the French army and navy, including both Negroes and Chinese, Captain Mortenol is the first to attain this high rank in the navy. Ex. Committee of Teachers Ass'n Meet in Tulsa The Executive Committee of the N. E. District Teachers Association met here last Saturday and transacted some important business for that Association. Among those present were Prof. Graham of Haskell, J. Tyler Smith of Muskogee, Miss J. M. Woodson of Okmulgee. The next regular meeting of the association will be held at Okmulgee next month. Rentie People Had Big Time The people of the Rentle settlement near Jenks, vied with each other in preparing dainty baskets of palatable food and likewise the spectators vied with each other in devouring the same at the basket picnic given by the good women of the community last Sunday at the A. M. E. church. After a very able sermon by presiding Elder Perrin, Rev. R. H. H. Curtis of Sapulpa is pastor of this church and according to reports is making good out there. The people of this community are expecting the conference now in session at Red Bird to send him back to them. The new circulator for The Star had thought on coming to Tulsa that he had landed in an entire strange land and among strangers, but agreeably surprised to find an old acquaintance of childhood in the persons of Mrs. Dorsey of 417 North Greenwood, also Mrs. Cora Huff and her mother of Archer, formerly of Columbus, Mo., Mrs. Cora McKey of South Lansing, Mr. F. L. Martin, the attorney of North Franklin from Kansas, also Mr. and Mrs. Martin of Ft. Elgin. Each was a happy meeting. No Color Line In Judge Clark's Court Notice to Odd Fellows Notice is hereby given to all Odd Fellows of the state of Oklahoma Jurisdiction that at the last Grand Lodge held at McAlester the Grand Lodge adopted the Tulsa Star as the organ of our order for this year, and as such every lodge should report to the Star the working of their lodge and report all members not in good standing with the order and thereby save a disgrace upon the order. I find a good many men who are financially intruding upon the order, we as Odd Fellows in good and regular standing with our lodges must protect the order by seeing that men who are behind are published and then the order will be upheld. The time has come that all true Odd Fellows must stand up on the principal of F. L. and T. Let every N. G. and P. S. do their duty and correspond with the Tulsa Star, subscribe for it and you will keep up as to what is going on. Let Odd Fellows wake up this year, we will come to see you early this year, I am, M.

For what he termed an unprovoked assault upon C. H. Hamilton, a negro, Tuesday afternoon, in front of a negro pool hall on North Cincinnati avenue Judge Clark in municipal court this morning fined R. Watson $50 and sentenced him to ten days in jail. Watson assaulted Hamilton with a gun after he said complaint had been made by a woman with whom he is boarding that the negro had insulted her. Watson was arrested by patrolman J. H. Smitherman after an exciting foot race and takeu to the police station. "In deciding this case," said Judge Clark, "I have to consider the testimony of whites as against blacks and I want to have it distinctly understood right here that the negroes in this court have equal rights with the white. The evidence all tends to show that the assault was absolutely unprovoked and I place but little credence in the stories told by the prosecuting witnesses." Subscription $1.00 Pər Year Statement Student Wins Best Composition The following article won the prize offered by Wm. Lane a teacher in the Dunbar school last week for the best written sketch of the life of Benj. Franklin. This article was written by a fourth grade student, Westley Flip-pin, who made his own researches: The Story of Benjamin Franklin Once upon a time there was a little boy whose name was Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin's Father and Mother were poor people. Benjamin was not able to go to school like some boys. When he had money instead of buying meat for his dinner, he would buy books. He would borrow other books and read them then carry them back. On one stormy night Benjamin had a kite and he tied some pieces of silk to it and flew it so high that it drew lightning and shocked his hand. And so he invented electricity. Benjamin came to Philadelphia with one silver dollar in his pocket. He bought two loaves of bread and was coming down the street eating them. A girl was standing in the door laughing at him. After a long time he married this same girl. She said, "Do you remember the day you were coming down the street eating the two loaves of bread." Benjamin worked for a printer a long time. Then the Governor came after him. While he was working with his brother they would some times have a fuss. After working in the printing shop with his brother for a long time, he became a printer himself and printed about the grind stone. Benjamin died in Seventeen Ninety at the age of 84 years. WESLEY FLIPPIN, 4th Grade. President of Women Clubs Writes Letter President's letter to the Colored Club Women of Oklahoma. DEAR COWORKERS: "Lest we forget," I want to call your attention to a few of the things that were done at the last Annuar meeting for the betterment of our state work. 1. You adopted a resolution setting aside the first Sunday of November of each year as a day for special religious service and prayer for the club work of this state. I most earnestly endorse that resolution, and urge the club of each community in this state to see that it is carried out in such a manner as to bring great good to the entire community. Put the service at a time and place that will reach the largest number of your people. 2. You enacted a law requiring your state President to visit all the clubs of the state during the year. We also endorse that action, and stand ready to arrange dates with each, and every club in this state to come to you when it will be most convenient, and advantageous for your locality. We shall also appreciate opportunities to visit places that have no clubs, with a view to encourage the organization of one or more clubs. Each hamlet and city should have a Patron and Teacher's club, if you have not one begin now to encourage such a union between the school and home. When we accepted these offices, we became the servants of the state, to any, and all things in our power for the encouragement of our people, so call upon each officer for the help she can render.

GREAT BATTLES PROGRESS BOTH EAST AND WEST Germans Make Desperate Efforts to Capture Dunkirk, France, But Allies Hold Them In Check. SLAVS HOLD VISTULA Austro-German Army Unable to Cross Polish River—British Destroy 4 German Warships After Hawke Sinks. ( Summary of Events. ) Throughout the length of the 300-mile battle line extending from the North sea at the Belgian-French frontier to the Swiss-German-French boundary conjunction fierce fighting has been renewed. The Germans are making desperate efforts to take the port of Dunkirk, France, following their capture of Ostend, Belgium, and they are bombarding Lille, France. By using all their strength and by moving heavy re-enforcements rapidly from one endangered point to another along the battle Belgian regiment which held on man cannon which shoot shells more because of the deluging rains. At the Germans in the swamps of Term line in northwestern France, the Allies so far have been able to block the German advance. Military experts are saying that this general engagement is the most important up to this point in the war. General fighting has been in progress between the Austro-German allies and the Russians in Russian Poland and in Austrian Galicia during the last week. It is reported that about a million men are engaged on each side. The Germans and Austrians drove the Slavs out of western Galicia and caused them to retreat northward in Poland to the Vistula river. But here the Russians turned upon their pursuers. Notwithstanding that the fighting in the eastern theater is extensive and bloody it is not decisive—neither side is really getting anywhere. Important Change Soon. All the signs indicate that a change is impending in the protracted struggle in northern France, where for weeks the hostile armies have faced each other in such strongly entrenched positions that neither has been able to advance except at enormous cost. The principal effect of the mutual flanking operations has been to extend the battle lines without either side finding a weak spot. The German army which besieged Antwerp is now free and the invading forces have been strengthened otherwise for an assault against some point in the extended battle front. Rigid secrecy is preserved as to the point chosen for this offensive movement. The bulletins given out by the German headquarters throw no light on the nature of the stroke which unmistakably is impending. America is per- haps better informed concerning this than is Germany. French Hold Eastern Line. What in previous wars would have been called great battles are being fought on the eastern wing of the fighting line stretching from the Belgian coast to Switzerland. In this great battle of nations, however, these fights are regarded merely as incidents. The fighting always has been of the most fierce nature in this district, owing to the strenuous efforts of the Germans to obtain possession of the strong fortress of Verdun, Toul and Epinal in order to open a way from Metz into France. The French still hold the eastern frontier fortress line, although a number of barrier forts have fallen. A letter from a German officer who was before Toul describes the art with which the French defend every yard before and between the fortresses. The French infantry is sheltered in three-story trenches. The bomb proofs, even in the infantry positions, are roofed with concrete, against which all except the heaviest shells are ineffective. Cannon in disappearing armored turrets answer the continued German fire. In houses outside the French lines have been found cellar telephones by means of which the position of the German batteries have been destroyed. Dogs carried letters, and carrier pigeons were used, until the dogs were shot and the pigeons were eaten. Almost to Metz. The steady hammering of the allies on the German left wing of the French battle front has brought them almost within cannon range of the forts at Metz. In spite of this menace the German crown prince's army hangs on doggedly to the posi- UTILE DEFENSE OF ANT one of the trenches in the outskirts of nally became untenable because of the more than 16 inches in diameter.

Regular traffic on the main lines in Germany has been suspended the last four days to allow the transportation, as quickly as possible, to the western field, of an army of ninety thousand freshly trained men. Fail to Defeat Russians. All the Austro-German attempts to force the passage of the Vistula have thus far failed and they have been compelled to assume the defensive, says a Petrograd report. They appear, however, to have retired in good order and are likely to make a stubborn fight in prepared positions before allowing themselves to be driven off Russian soil. With an enormous mass of artillery the Germans have kept up a terrific bombardment which ceased neither day nor night. Under cover of this fire numerous attempts have been made to throw chains of pontoons across the river. Przemysl Siege Lifted. The Austrian stronghold of Przemysl, a German official statement says, is now entirely freed of the Russian siege. The Russians are reported to be in fortified positions along the line of Stry, Sambor and Medyka, which now are being attacked by the Austrians. This line is supposed to keep in check the direct Austrian advance from Przemysl toward Lemberg. Austrian Defeat in Bosnia. An official statement issued by the Montenegrin consul general announces the overwhelming defeat of an army of 15,000 Austrians near Sarajevo by the combined Montenegrin and Servian armies. The battle raged two days, with enormous losses on both sides. Cholera Spreads in Hungary. According to reports reaching Ven- this ice, cholera is making rapid strides throughout Hungary and the progress of the disease is causing alarm among the people. When you want a nice quick lunch for yourself or family think of More Activity at Sea. A British cruiser and four destroyers sank four German destroyers off the Dutch coast. This followed the sinking of the British cruiser Hawke and the killing of 500 men by a German submarine torpedo boat. The British and French fleets and the Montenegrin army are carrying on an attack on Cattaro, the fortified seaport of Austria in Dalmatia, the first sortie from which the Montenegrins claim to have repulsed. Boer Command Revolts. A strong command of the Boer army in the British Union of South Africa has revolted and the governor has placed the entire Cape Colony under martial law. The revolt was engineered and led by Colonel Maritz, secretly a German army officer, who received arms, materials of war and money from Germany. Recovering from the first shock of the news that organized revolt now menaced British authority in South Africa, London has received word that from nearly every part of the union pledges were coming in fast from the Boers to fight the rebellion led by Colonel Maritz.

They consist of fifty-four army corps of first line troops and twenty-seven army corps of reserves, totaling about 2,200,000 men. These forces are distributed as follows: In France, twenty-four corps; Belgium, six; Thorn and Cracow, eleven; East Prussia, thirteen. In addition there are one and a half million territorials garrisoned in Germany and a half million recruits expected to be fully trained by November. Half Million for Teutonic Allies. Half a million men, Austrians and Germans, are registered at the consulates of their countries in the United States ready to return to Europe and bear arms as soon as transportation is available. Ninety-five per cent of them have had military training. Peruna Cured This Man Of Catarrh. PETER B. Mr. J. B. Reese, Habnab, Maryland, writes: "Two years ago I became a sufferer with catarrh, which continued to grow worse and made me miserable. I could scarcely smell at all, and my taste had almost left me. My head ached constantly, and at times had high fever and bleeding at the nose. I was a perfect wreck. "I tried several doctors, but derived no relief. I read in one of your little booklets, called Tills of Life," of Peruna being a remedy for catarrh, and procured a bottle at once. After the use of one bottle I felt some bother, so I tried the second and the third, and now I am a well man." Many a man has fractured his skull by a fall from the tree of knowledge.

"Samoa has an ideal language, and there it was I got my inspiration," says Gelaett Burgess in "Burgess Un abridged." "Can't we make English as subtle as Samoan? I wondered There they have a single word, meaning, 'A-party-is-approaching-which-contains-neither-a-clever - man-nor-a - pretty-woman.' Another beautiful word describes 'A-man-who-climbs-out-on - the limbs - of - his-own - breadfruit-tree-to steal - the - breadfruit-of his-neighbor.' Suliia means 'Change-the-subject-you are-on-dangerous-ground.' Another happy word expresses a familiar situation —'To-look-on-owl-eyed-while-others are getting-gifts.' Have we anything in English as charmingly tactful as this! No, our tongue is almost as crude as pidgin-English itself, where piano is 'Box-you-fight-him-cry.'" FOUND OUT. A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect. No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse. Speaking of coffee, a nurse in Pa., writes: "I used to drink strong coffee myself, and suffered greatly from headaches and indigestion. "While on a visit to my brothers I had a good chance to try Postum, for they drank it altogether in place of coffee. After using Postum two weeks I found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion. "Naturally I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used. "I observe a curious fact about Postum when used by mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness. "I find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. But when it is prepared according to directions on package and served hot with cream, it is certainly a delicious beverage." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Shears' account of the biennial meeting of the Federation of Colored Women's clubs at Wilberforce, O. Miss Zona Gale, her companion, the two, we believe, making the only white attendants, has given her version of the story in Life and Labor, the organ of the Woman's Trade unions. The extracts from the utterances of those present found in Miss Gale's article are so persuasive and inspiring that we gladly lay hold of them for the benefit of Unity readers. The chairman of the executive board, Mrs. Mary Talbert of Buffalo, among other things, said: "Never in the history of our race have our women had so great a privilege as is granted to us, the privilege to be and to do what we will, to develop our highest powers, to improve every opportunity, to satisfy our deepest longings for educational advantages. For the women of our race of 50 years ago were the common burden bearers, the common property of the horde, refused the privilege of reading and writing, forbidden to recognize their own names when they saw them in writing. And yet they were trusting in God. "To my mind comes the first Negro club woman, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, who after the Civil war—or rather, I might say, after our new birth—went up and down the Southland to the newly liberated slaves, and urged upon those mothers to start at the fireside. In a letter dated Greenville, Ga., March 29, 1870, she writes: 'Now is the time for women to begin to try to lift up their heads and plant the roots of progress under the hearthstones.' Today the Negro women all over the country have seen that flower grow, and it is for us to continue to plant. "This is the field. Now what of the co-operation? There can be but one motive in all our work—the spirit of Christian love, the expression of racial brotherhood. What we have done cannot be measured only by advance, but by the deterioration which we have helped to prevent. We know that in every community there are splendid women who have not yet seen the necessity of 'lifting as we climb,' who have not felt that they could leave their whist tables to do this work, and yet they will tell you that they are in sympathy with what we are trying to do. Nobody can be the friend of any class by being the enemy of any other class. You can be the friend of one class only by showing it the line along which it can accommodate its work to the best advantage. The lines of help are always the lines of this accommodation. I firmly believe that the more we interest our women of the favored classes to work with the women in humbler lives the better our work will be done—this work of lifting an entire Negro manhood and womanhood into better life. "It behooves us as club women to see that we urge our ministry to co-operate with us. Often ministers have been particularly antagonistic to this club movement, fearing that it will affect the financial support of the church. We sympathize with the feeling of such ministers, for we know that the average minister does not receive a living salary, much less a working salary. But we must educate them to the fact that the time has come when they, too, must join with us in enlarging the work by these organizations of women's clubs."—Unity Inquiries replies to which will demonstrate convictions pertaining to a majority of the questions now of the greatest importance to the Negro race have been sent to all candidates for congress of the Republican, Democratic and Progressive parties by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters in New York. The candidate is requested to make known his intention as to whether, if elected, he will vote against any measure abrogating the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, segregation in the federal service, residential segregation in the District of Columbia, segregation as regards "Jim Crow" cars in the district and laws making racial intermarriage in the district invalid. He is also asked if, under any circumstances, he justifies lynching or favors the enforcement of clause 2 of the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution. Recently colored nurses have been placed in responsible positions as attendants in the state hospitals of Kansas. TULSA, OKLA., STAR AN CULLINGS If one of three Negro boys can't ride the animal, that horse will not see service in the allies' cavalry. The British government, which continues buying horses at the Kansas City stock yards, says nothing about Negroes in its horse contracts, but under the clause "well broken" the British inspectors have to see the horse ridden, and it is up to the man selling the horse to supply riders. Therefore it falls to Negro cuffers at the horse barns to supply the "nerve touch" required by the British. Sambo, Pete, Jake one day, it may be Fred, "Willum," or "Toots" the next. It makes little difference what their last names are. They are heroes among their fellow beings, and in addition to the receipt of three to five dollars a day, by risking their necks oftener they may get a tip from the boss. The firm handling the horses has tried cowboys and circus riders, but because riders are not allowed saddles real cowboys pass up the job. The uncertain gait and movements of the horses soon discourage the circus riders. But the Negro boys stick. An alley 150 feet long, flanked by high board fences and brick paving underneath, may be the horses' last run in America. Horse and Sambo are at one end, the inspector at the other. "Ready," calls the ring master, and Sambo goes in the air, alights like a spring clothespin on a new rope line. The horse may go all right, and then he may go both ways at once, but if he passes up and down the alley twice without displacing his jibsail he goes to the British. The British government has accepted 5,100 horses at the Kansas City stock yards barn. The animals had all been measured, tested for sight and soundness, and the bulk of them ridden by colored boys. Most of them had been given the "Mallein" test for glanders. D. H. B. Adair and his assistants in Kansas City of the United States bureau of animal industry, applied that test to 4,370 horses, during September, and 1,000 more are at Lathrop, Mo., awaiting the test. The government test for glanders is free of charge. After the rider has discharged his duty the horse is turned to the branders and when he gets through, there is an arrow on the shoulder, and a number on the hoof. The horse is a Britisher. Jacob Estey, one of the pioneer makers of planos and organs in America, was born in Hinsdale, N. H., one hundred years ago. His youth was one of adversity, and it was only by the hardest work and personal sacrifice that he was able to obtain a common school education. At the age of twenty-one he bought with his savings an interest in a business for the making of melodeons. For a number of years thereafter he acted as his own salesman, traveling through New England and Canada selling his instruments. With the profits thus obtained he embarked in the manufacture of pianos and organs. His business grew rapidly, and at the time of his death, in 1890, it was the largest of its kind in the world. Mr. Estey spent his large fortune liberally for good purposes. He was the chief founder of Shaw university for colored people at Raleigh, N. C. In the Hampton Trade school, and, indeed, in other departments, a student is rated for speed, accuracy, judgment, initiative, earnestness, neatness, responsibility and conduct. Of course, all of these factors do not receive the same weight, but they do form the baels for judging individuals. Hampton applies, in its daily routine, the common tests of everyday life used in the outside world where men and women must stand or fall according to the standards which they attain in their work. Learning by doing, turning disadvantages into advantages, making the best use of one's resources—these are some of the fundamentals in the Hampton idea of education. Service and self-sacrifice form the core of the Hampton training. Results in good citizenship and safe leadership characterize Hampton's work. The total coal supply of the world recently was estimated at 7,397,533,000,000 tons, of which nearly 4,000,000,000,000 tons are bituminous, Asia having the largest quantity of any continent.

"THE SOCIAL EVIL" topic has claimed the attention of the American people for many years, and although many social reformers have passed on and off the stage of action the conditions remain the same, if not worse, and if we are to judge by present indications, there is no certain relief in sight. We are living in an age of social corruption and religious hypocrisy which is threatening the very foundation of the nation. It is found on every hand, in the churches, in the schools, in fraternal orders, in the legislatures and alas! in the homes! And yet we are rushing on blindly at a terrific rate, apparently unmindful of the great dangers ahead. What are we to do? The churches have proven themselves wholly inadequate to cope with the situation because it is an undoubted fact that there are more (or at least as many) hypocrites and debauchers of social purity in the churches than anywhere else. So common is this fact that the general public no longer look upon a preacher with any degree of respect, except in rare cases, and most people have less confidence in preachers than any other class of men. We can not say that the public is at fault in this particular because the preachers themselves have made their own beds and the people simply judge them by their own records. The average "worldly man" or "sinner" as he is called by the pretended followers of the lowly good Savior, has a higher regard for, and conception of religion than nine-tenths of the professed Christians. The average preacher and church member of today are doing more to corrupt society than any other class of citizens. It is an easy matter for a pious man of the gospel to get the confidence of our families and if he is corrupt and evil minded it is just as easy for him, in some cases, to misuse and abuse this confidence. And oftimes we find the highest church officials guilty of this unpardonable crime. And yet they have the audacity to cry out from the pulpit condemning others for this sin. We know preachers and high church officials who would not hesitate to debauch a weak thoughtless (senseless) woman, but would frown in mocking disdain upon the highwayman who robs a man of his money. And when the scornful fingers of a critical world are pointed at the woman who was fool enough to be his victim; when she is driven in shame from the hitherto happy home which he has destroyed, driven from friends and loved ones never to return to her former place in society, he, all devil that he is, sits back in the sanctuary of the church cloaked in the garb of the holly ministry gloating over his own dignity and social purity while the poor woman who sinned at his biding goes down in disgrace and eternal damnation, a social outcast more sined against than sining. Hell in all o its terrors as described by Dante is too good for such hypocrites. The Star proposes to turn on the searchlight without fear or favor. (To be continued in next issue.) MUSKOGEE NEWS NOTES Quite a number of Negro baseball fans went down to defeat with the Philadelphiaias in the recent world series.

Kushe's church, the First Baptist, where we heard an elegant sermon preached by the Rev. M. W. Montgomery. His text was Matt 26:27. Rev.

Vann of Durango, Mexico, where he has a land holding of over 41,000 acres, passed through Tulsa Tuesday, stopping off here long enough to visit a sister in North Greenwood street. He left on a night train for Newby, Okla. Mr. Vann is a very intelligent as well as an enterprising gentleman. He has colonized 500 negroes on his holding in Mexico and is here for the purpose of getting another by April next. He tells me that he has all kind of mineral on his land not except gold and that his people raise everything except Hell and that he will not allow. Yes he ordered six copies of The Star. Mr. Vann is a half-breed Creek and seems to be entirely devoted to the negros interest. He wants honest, strait forward working people in whom he can place confidence. Such people can get his aid and assistance. Mr. Vann offered voluntarily his support to the circulator of this paper, both finance and his influence. We find few Vanns in this country.

Sapulpa.—Jasper Wickam's search of fourteen years for his daughter, Lizzie, culminated here when he found her occupying a prominent position with a large department store, Dickam, who lives at Springfield, Mo., separated from his wife when his daughter was 6 years old. The mother moved to Kansas, taking the child with her. Several months later Wickam became wealthy through speculations in the peach orchards of the Ozarks. Fearing his daughter was unable to make her way and needed assistance, Wickam determined to find her. That was fourteen years ago. Monday Wickam arrived here, and from the city directory he found that a Lizzie Wickam was employed in a local department store. Twenty minutes later father and daughter were together.

DOUBLE TAXATION ON CATTLE Stockmen Say They Were Assessed in Doth Atoka County and Texas. Oklahoma City.—The question of whether taxes can be levied and collected in two different states for the same fiscal year is presented in appeals filed with the supreme court by W. S. Thompson & Company, and Pete Watson from a ruling of W. I. Bond, county treasurer of Atoka county. In both cases the appellants transported cattle from Texas into Atoka county, Oklahoma, where they have been assessed as personal property. It is claimed that before the cattle were brought into Oklahoma taxes on them were levied, assessed, and collected in the state of Texas. The cattle were brought into Oklahoma prior to April 1, 1909, it is said, therefore it is contended they were not subject to taxation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, the year in which the taxes were levied. Approximately $1,000 in taxes are involved in the case. Ponca City Glass Factory Starts. Fires have been started in the glass factory furnaces at Ponca City, the local payroll in the town may be augmented $3,000 a week. Colt Kills Farmer.

Muskogee.—It an amended petition filed in superior court here against W. H. Wainwright, former county treasurer of Muskogee county, and his surety company, the charge is made that Wainwright entered into an unlawful scheme with two bankers to defraud Muskogee county of a large sum of money. Amended petition alleges that $43,500 was lost to the county by Wainwright having charged that amount off the books of the treasurer's office while a corresponding amount was not charged off the books of the bank in which the money was kept. Wainwright was recently convicted here on a cahrge of having embezzled funds belonging to the county. Muskogee county commissioners are plaintiffs in the suit. DIARY TELLS OF GERMAN ADVANCE ON AND CAPTURE OF ANTWERP --- TULSA, OKLA., STAR London.—In the form of a diary, the story of the siege of Antwerp and the German plan of attack are given in the following dispatch received by the Central News from its Ostend correspondent: "Saturday, Sept. 26.—The Belgians retired from their positions east, south and west of Malines to the line of outer forts. "Sept. 27.—The Germans bombarded and occupied Malines. "Sept. 28.—Bombardment of Forts De Waelhem, De Wavre-St. Catherine and other forts on the southern line by 11-inch howitzers. "Sept. 29.—Magazine of Fort De Waelhem blown up by shell fire. Fort De Wavre-St. Catherine put out of action. Forts at Lierre bombarded. Forts Are Destroyed. "Sept. 30.—Forts De Waelhem and Wavre-St. Catherine are completely destroyed. Waterworks behind Fort De Waelhem blown up. The Belgian infantry continued to hold their intrenchments in the face of a veritable hell of shell fire. The water supply in Antwerp is greatly curtailed. "Oct. 1.—The Lierre forts destroyed. The German infantry attacks were repulsed with heavy losses. "Oct. 2.—There was a heavy bombardment of the Belgian trenches. The Belgians retired at night in good order and lined the River Nethe. The Germans began to occupy the outer ring of forts. A German aeroplane flew over the city and dropped pamphlets urging the inhabitants to surrender and save themselves suffering. British Troops Arrive. "Oct. 3.—Arrival of fresh British troops, who relieved fatigued Belgians on the southeastern section. Here the Germans concentrated their attack, which is now almost exclusively an artillery attack. "Oct. 4.—Quiet until evening, when the Germans began a furious bombardment of Lirre and the river bank trenches. "Oct. 5.—The Germans cross the river and occupy Lierre and Duffel. The main Belgian army began retirement westward. "Oct. 6.—Departure of King Albert, the government, and the foreign ministers. Heavy bombardment of the allied position. The allied troops retired during the night on the second line of forts. City Is Occupied. "Oct. 7.—Governor General de Gulse proposes that a bombardment of the DEFEND UNTIL FIRE BECOMES MASSACRE By F. BANISTER. International News Service. Ostend.—I was right up on the firing line near Lokeren when the Belgians were ordered to retreat from the trenches and was carried along in the frantic rush for shelter beyond the range of German shells. Infantrymen, jaded, heavily weighted by accouterments, stumbled across the fields, sweat pouring from their faces, and sank, exhausted, to lie for a few moments and then scramble to their feet and stagger forward again as shells continued bursting around them. They fought bravely and well. The trenches were not vacated anywhere till the rain of German shells meant sheer massacre if the defenders remained. In the retreat of the field army which had been defending Antwerp, along the one road still kept open to the west, were many soldiers who had been fighting continually 14 days, snatching hurried sleep on the bare earth or pavement. Hundreds collapsed on the march and had to be left behind at various points, to follow on after treatment and rest. The Germans have not yet reached Ostend. Horse meat has been substituted for beef at most of the hotels and restaurants. Otherwise there is no lack of food at normal prices. Every day, spies are arrested in and near Ostend. One man was seized after chalking in a corner of the village railway station some figures the interpreters supposed indicated the strength of the allies in the neighborhood. He was dressed as a simple peasant and showed evidence of being a man of superior education, which, with the incriminating memoranda and the chalk marks at the station, sealed his doom. A German officer was arrested in the main street of Ostend yesterday wearing a Belgian officer's uniform. He was nearly torn to pieces by the huge crowd before he got to the police station. The only route out of Antwerp after the bombardment began Wednesday was the River Scheldt. The people would not stay in the cellars of the houses, as advised by the authorities, when they found the shells from the great German guns often fell right city is imminent. The Germans emplace batteries for their purpose and at midnight a heavy bombardment begins. "Oct. 8.—Exodus of the population. The bombardment of the town is continued with violence. The petrol tanks are ablaze. Berchem, a southern suburb, is in flames, as also are many houses in the city. The defending troops on the southwest section are offering violent resistance. It is decided to evacuate the city, and the British and Belgian forces leave during the night. "Oct. 9.—The fall and occupation of Antwerp. Took Two Weeks. "It will thus be seen that the Germans took a fortnight to drive their wedge into the southeastern section of the defenses," the correspondent continues, "and this speaks volumes for the stubbornness of the defense. British marines were hurried across last Sunday and conveyed to Antwerp with all speed. They came without overcoats or kits, but cheerfully endured the cold and rain as well as the pulverizing fire. "After Monday it was merely a question of enduring the terrible fire as long as possible. A large proportion of the Belgian troops went westward on Monday and Tuesday to insure an eventual line of retreat. A large additional force of British marines arrived Tuesday mornina. Mount Their Big Guns. "Eventually the Germans mounted their 42-centimeter guns. They were enabled to fire with great accuracy, thanks to their observation balloons, although owing to the cold and heavy rain their operations were sometimes suspended. The British gunners brought one balloon down with a round of lyddite, after shrapnel had proved ineffective. "Ability to hit back weight for weight was the one crying need at Antwerp, whose fate points to one irresistible conclusion—that the day of forts is over. The supposed impregnable forts proved broken reeds against the giant howitzers. "One of Brialmont's great works sank almost bodily from sight in consequence of the cavities made all around its foundations by the terrific explosions. The others are shattered beyond recognition. "I understand that the British naval force saved all its wounded and guns. The Belgian army is still intact." through the houses and exploded in the cellars. Trains and barges, perilously overloaded, till Friday bore the people to Holland. It is clear that a vast majority of the population of Antwerp did not believe till the very last minute that the city would be bombarded. One shell shattered like a house of cards the Hospital of St. Camille, burying all the nurses and wounded in the pile of ruins. GERMAN LOSS AT ANTWERP IS HEAVY Paris.—The Germans lost 40,000 men in the capture of Antwerp, according to Paul Erio, special correspondent of the Journal, who writes: "The heroic Belgian defense of forts Waelhem, Wavre and Lierre, forming the outer ring, cost the Germans very dear. General von Beseler threw compact masses of troops into the inter walls, where the Belgians poured a withering infantry fire on the assailants. "South of the third line of defenses German bodies are now piled in heaps. This happened at the beginning of the assault. South of Fort Bornhelm the Belgians interred 3,200 German corpses. "When Von Beseler managed to cross the Nethe and install 16½-inch guns on the north banks, shells fell in Antwerp like hailstones. Most of the remaining population then retired to cellars with food, placing mattresses and sacks filled with earth against the doors and window gratings. "As soon as Antwerp was occupied the Germans began to fortify it. If given a little time they will, with the help of their heavy artillery, make it practically impregnable." Kaiser's Cattle Captured. London.—A dispatch to the Star from Petrograd says that among the remarkable war trophies arriving at Smolensk is the entire stock of Emperor William's famous pedigreed cattle and horses, captured by the Russians from the emperor's estate at Rominten, East Prussia. They were taken to Moscow and presented to the Russian Agricultural institute for distribution among agricultural breeding associations. W. L.

C.—"When my baby was two weeks old, behind his ears turned red and caused an irritation and from rubbing it became raw and stayed moistened all the time. At times it would get so bad as to bleed. He was fretful. At the time he was eight months old he was in a bad condition with sores behind his ears and on his face. "Nothing seemed to do any good at all till I got Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I at once commenced to wash his ears and face three or four times during the day with the Cuticura Soap, dried them with a soft cloth, then applied the Cuticura Ointment.

LESSON FOR OCTOBER 25 JESUS AND JUDAS. LESSON TEXT—Matt. 26:14-25, 47-50; 27: 8-10. GOLDEN TEXT—Woe unto that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed. Matt. 26:42 R. V. No literature has a more terrible story than that of Judas. Matthew gives us perhaps the fullest account of his last acts and the part he had in those final hours of the suffering and death of Jesus. Mary's act of anointing, by Jesus commended, and by Judas condemned, caused the latter to fare forth for his final act of faithless infamy. Contrasted with the odor of her good deed, we here have the stench of an evil deed. I. The Bargain, vv. 14-25. (1) The Price, vv. 14-16. Disappointed in his hopes that Jesus would establish an earthly kingdom wherein he should hold a high position, stung by the rebuke of vv. 10-13 (cf. John 12:4-8) and moved by cupidity, Judas hurries to the enemies of Jesus (see John 13:27). He saw no further opportunity to profit through "holding the bag," John 13:29, and so got what he could from the rulers. He estimated his worth at 30 pieces of silver about seventeen or nineteen dollars, or the value of a slave; see Ex. 21:22 and Phil. 2:7, also the prophecy of Zechariah 11:12-13. Hate, envy, disappointed ambition, and cupidity drove Judas with relentlessness in his final act of infamy. Verily, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Gal. 6:7. (2) The Penalty, vv. 17-25. As we read the various accounts of that tragic last night we note that being warned and singled from among the other disciples in no wise moved Judas to repentence. The conspiracy, see Matt. 26:1-5, 14-16, had been consumed before that last meeting in the upper room. Must Be Born Again. Even grace cannot save us in our sin. All of his gifts, his nearness to the Son of God, his knowledge, first handed, of those marvelous teachings of Jesus, did not grip his heart. Head knowledge alone never saved anyone. It is not enough even to be numbered among the disciples. There must be a new creation, we must be born again, John 3:7. In verse 24 we read the final warning and John tells us (13:27) that following these words he is commanded to "go out quickly." II. The Betrayal, vv. 47-50. There are four stages in this episode: (1) In the house of Simon at the anointing of Jesus by Mary; (2) The one just considered and which took place in the "upper room" in connection with the Passover feast; (3) The third is the subject of this paragraph and took place in the Garden following the events of last week's lesson. This picture has been painted so often as to be familiar to us all. The Son of Man, the advancing apostate disciple, the mob; what an appalling scene. Judas had probably led first to the house whence he had left Jesus. Finding Jesus and the disciples had departed (v. 30) he knew where, in all probability, he would find the Master. It was a familiar resort for Jesus and his disciples, John 18:2, 3. Judas had often sat under these same olive trees and listened to him who "taught as never man taught." It was also a place sacred to prayer. How things are changed. Judas had allowed Satan to enter his heart (John 13:27, see also James 4:7) and with eager feet he crosses the brook Kedron, past the disciples and into the presence of Jesus to betray him with a kiss. The Final Stage. III. "He Went and Hanged Himself" 27:3-10. The fourth and final stage is reached when, seeing that Jesus is condemned and about to be executed, Judas, filled with remorse, carried back the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. What an exhibition of hypocrisy they evidenced, not to take the price of blood, forsooth! Judas did not really repent. The word here used for "repent" is rather that he suffered remorse, and that does not necessarily involve repentance as we all know. Had he truly repented he would not have hanged himself and he would have been saved even as the repentant thief was saved. There is no necessary contradiction between this and the account given in Acts 1:8. "If he hanged himself in the 'field of blood' and the rope broke the account given in Acts would naturally follow." A NURSE TAKES DOCTOR'S ADVICE A NURSE TAKES DOCTOR'S ADVICE And is Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Euphemia, Ohio.—"Because of total ignorance of how to care for myself when verging into womanhood, and from taking cold when going to school, I suffered from a displacement, and each month I had severe pains and nausea which always meant a lay-off from work for two to four days from the time I was 16 years old. "I went to Kansas to live with my sister and while there a doctor told me of the Pinkham remedies but I did not use them then as my faith in patent medicines was limited. After my sister died I came home to Ohio to live and that has been my home for the last 18 years. "The Change of Life came when I was 47 years old and about this time I saw my physical condition plainly described in one of your advertisements. Then I began using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I cannot tell you or any one the relief it gave me in the first three months. It put me right where I need not lay off every month and during the last 18 years I have not paid out two dollars to a doctor, and have been blest with excellent health for a woman of my age and I can thank Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for it. "Since the Change of Life is over I have been a maternity nurse and being wholly self-supporting I cannot over estimate the value of good health. I have now earned a comfortable little home just by sewing and nursing. I have recommended the Compound to many with good results, as it is excellent to take before and after childbirth."—Miss Evelyn ADELIA STEWART, Euphemia, Ohio.

The Russian military band is considerably more than an army institution. The cost of maintaining so many bands is considerable even for so rich a country as Russia, but the government considers them as a profitable investment. The Russian soldier has come to require music and he demands it, and these bands entertain the masses and the classes. These bands cater to the highest musical taste, and the average Russian in the cities knows when music is good, and he will have no other. The bands play the new and popular music by composers like Ivanoff, but on all the band programs you will see such names as Liszt, Schumann, Chopin, Tschalkowsky, Gunka, Strauss and Bebussy.

The temperance society was to meet that afternoon. Mrs. Phillpotts dressed in a hurry, and came panting downstairs. She was a very fat woman. "Addie, run up to my room and get my blue rosette—the temperance badge," she directed the maid. "I have forgotten it. You will know it, Addie—blue ribbon and gold lettering." "Yes, mum. I knows it well enough." Addie could not read, but she knew a blue ribbon with gold lettering when she saw it, and therefore had no trouble in finding it, and fastened it promptly on the dress of her mistress. The gold lettering on the ribbon read: "Bournemouth Poultry Show.—First Prize Bantam." Seeking Information. Bob Burman, record-holder in motor car racing, tells the following story: Bob Burman, record holder in motor car racing, tells the following story: Recently I was talking with a woman whose husband has acquired considerable wealth suddenly, and who was quite new to the social world and its customs. She was particularly anxious to appear as if accustomed to all the luxuries of life. She began a conversation with me on motoring. "Have you purchased your new car this season?" I asked. "No, Mr. Burman, not yet," she said. "I can't make up my mind just which make of car to buy. Maybe you will help me." "What is it that you can not decide about them?" I asked. "Why, I can't decide whether I should get a gasoline or a limousine car. Tell me, does limousine smell as bad as gasoline?"—Everybody's Magazine. Way the Dance Changes. The ailment that brought the waltz and the two-step to their lingering death was monotony. Each had one step, one tempo, and that is not enough. So the dances shriveled up and died from lack of exercise. A few years ago the world entered upon one of its periodical rebellions against artificial conventions, and the people returned to the world-old, semi-forgotten recreation, dancing. The revival of dancing was accompanied by a clamor for variety.—Woman's Home Companion. Real Strategy. The fat plumber and the thin carpenter were discussing the European war. "I'd like to be in the English navy," said the plumber. "I'd take the Belgian navy for mine," the carpenter remarked. "Pooh," ejaculated the plumber, Belgium has the smallest navy in the world." "That's why I'd like to be in it," grinned the carpenter. "The smaller the navy the harder it would be to hit."—Youngstown Telegram. The Only Trouble With It. The gloomy amateur aviator was surveying the aeroplane in which he had intended to take a ride.

"That's what's the matter with it." Rattlesnake Oil. There is a constant demand for rattlesnake oil, so much so that F. B. Armstrong of Brownsville, Tex., is making ga living from his rattlesnake farm. He sells the oil for eight dollars an ounce.

"For example, I was describing to a group of women on the promenade deck one afternoon the way the Belgians had ruined a road into Liege—a road that blew up afterwards and killed 5,000 Germans. The women all seemed interested in my description and when I finished it I said: "And now are there any questions any of you women would like to ask? "A pretty and well-dressed Baltimore woman said anxiously: "Can you tell us, Mr. Patten, if Paris had got her fall fashions out before the war came on?" "So you are not to be married?"

Ο K L A., ST A R CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY A REMARKABLE FAMILY OF ACTORS. in 1753 John Wear, an English theatrical manager, opposed a match between his daughter and a member of his company, not wishing her to marry an actor. He finally gave consent, however, consoling himself with the thought that the young man was not much of an actor. In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight reached maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The oldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Siddons. The oldest son, John Phillip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble." The eleventh child, Charles, was a renowned comedian, while his daughter, Fanny Kemble, was probably the best known to the public of all the family. Her sister, Adelaide, attained considerable popularity as a public singer. Her son married the daughter of General Grant. (Copright 1911, by Joseph B Bowl) Nichol Hat Works Phone 207.

LAMB QUITT TAKING SNUFP Threw Box Away on Hampstead Health, but Was Searching for It Next Morning. Hamstead Heath may yet contain a precious relic of Charles Lamb. "One summer's evening," writes Hone, "I was walking on Hampstead Heath with Charles Lamb, and we had talked ourselves into a philosophic contempt of our slavery to the habit of snuff taking, and with the firm resolution of never again taking a single pinch we threw our snuffboxes away from the hill on which we stood, far among the furze and brambles below, and went home in triumph; I began to be very miserable, was wretched all night; in the morning I was walking on the same hill; I saw Charles Lamb below, searching among the bushes; he looked up laughing, and saying, "What, you are come to look for your snuffbox too!"
