S. Supreme Court Decisions on Laws to Disfranchise Negroes due Soon Supreme Court Considering The "Grandfather Clause"and other Ingenious Devices Validity of "Jim Crow" Statute of Oklahoma Before High Tribunal Historian A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE Vol. 3, No. 2 U. S. Sup to Dis Supreme Court Co "Grandfather Clau Ingenious D Validity of "Jim Crow" homa Before High By Wire From the Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—The last word on existing legislation as to "grandfather clause" provision and other methods of depriving Negroes of the ballot is to be handed down during the present session of the United States Supreme Court. The decisions will be fraught with more importance to the Negro than any in a quarter af a century, it is declared, since the country will know of the success or failure of various ingenious means that are alleged to have been adopted both in the North and South to take from the Negro a position of equality with the white man. The "grandfather clause" method of restricting the right of the Negro to vote has been the most popular of all the late attempts of the South to nullify the guarantee of the right to vote contained in the fifteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution. In short, persons are barred from voting if their grandfathers were not eligible to vote in their day. The Oklahoma wording of this "clause" is generally typical of those adopted in other states, and it is one of those before the court for consideration. It provides a reading and writing qualification for voting in the State, but excepts from its operation those who were eligible to vote in 1866, or whose ancestors were eligible to vote in any state in the Union or any foreign country in that year. Test Case on "Jim Crow" Law. The validity of the most far-reaching Jim Crow law ever passed will be determined in the Oklahoma case, brought by E. P. M. McCabe and several other Negroes against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Co. and other railroad companies to test the validity of the law, which requires separate waiting rooms and car service for Negroes engaged in travel within the State, also for Negroes making interstate journeys in Oklahoma. The State defends its action on the ground that the act was designed to preserve peace and order, and this is just as necessary on an interstate journey as on an intrastate one. The Oklahoma courts upheld the validity of the law, despite the fact that it does not require sleeping car facilities to be furnished to Negroes barred from sleeping cars provided for the whites. They declared this was not a substantial discrimination, because there was no demand among Negroes for sleeping car accommodations, which would justify separate sleeping cars for them. In one of the first cases argued to the court, the Federal Government will seek to strike down a form of alleged peonage to which blacks in Alabama are being subjected by plantation owners with the aid of the local courts. An "Unwritten Law Case." From Texas comes a case of the court in which a Negro sets up a claim to the "unwritten law" on an equality with the white man. It is the case in which Carl Oliver was convicted of having murdered a white man whom he found in company with his wife. Oliver claims that the court which tried him erred in not instructing the The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1914. jury that under the laws of Texas and the United States a Negro is entitled to the same rights or protection as to the defending of the honor of his home as a white man would be in the same circumstances. Oliver also claims that there was an unlawful discrimination in the selection of the grand jury which indicted him in that Negroes were not eligible for selection. John B. Gaskill, a Negro of Chicago, is to make a last attempt to force the Forest Hill Cemetery Co. to permit him to bury his wife, who died in 1912, alongside his children interred within the cemetery. From 1880 to 1896, the Gaskills buried four children in the Forest Hill cemetery. Then in 1907 the cemetery officials adopted a resolution barring the bodies of colored persons who owned no lots in the cemetery, from burial therein. Free Thanksgiving For A. M. E. Church Rev, Johnson, pastor of the Vernon A. M. E. church, is preparing a big Thanksgiving feast. His program for the occasion has been printed and quite a number of people will doubtless be on hand to partake of the free dinner and the musical and literary program. The feast will last from 1 to 4 P. M. Report From Crowder Lodge Report From Crowder Lodge Crowder, Okla., Nov. 6, 1914 The Tulsa Star: Williams Temple Lodge No. 8942.

Nov. 9- Negroes rights are not invaded by the provisions of the Going anti-liquor bill excluding Negroes from signing petitions for saloons, according to a decision handed down by the Arkansas supreme court today. Pine Bluff and Hot Spring Negroes had complained that their rights had been abrogated by the act which permitted the signing of petitions only by "White adult residents". The court ruled the question one of privilege and not of right. Capt. Jackson Will Return to Tulsa Capt. T. D. Jackson who left Tulsa early in October to take up his residence in Pueblo, Coko., has discovered that Tulsa is the best town in the world so far as he has been able to find and has decided to return and live among his best friends and relatives. He writes that he likes the climate of Colordado well enough but intimates that the Oklahoma climes and the matchless Tulsa spirit suits him better. Capt. Jackson will arrive here some time next week. White Man Had Colored Lover Ray DeWit, a white man employed by a local glass factory in this city was fined $30 and sentenced to 30 days in jail last Monday by Municipal Judge Clark. on a charge of vagrancy. Bertha Brown a gNegro woman prostitute was the complaining witness against DeWitt. According to the testimony in the case Bertha and Ray had been lovers for some time, about two years, during which time she had given him money at frequent intervals. Sunday afternoon DeWitt visited another Negro woman of the underworld and Bertha, out of jealousy had the two arrested. The second woman gave her name as Pearl Wadley. Letters were introduced by the Brown woman, real love letters, showing that the white man had often wrote her asking her for money, but DeWitt denied everything and appealed from the judgment of the police court. He was held under a $200 bond. It is a very common thing for white men to consort with Negro women of this class in Tulsa. Out in the "Red Light" district there are two houses where Negro women of this class entertain white men and if a Negro man is caught out there he is invariably arrested and punished. In the light of these facts the action of Judge Clark is highly commendable. Colored Undertakers Get Another Case Joe Gant, of Gans, Oklahoma, who had been living in this city for several months, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Caver on N. Elgin Saturday morning about 7:30, after an illness of about ten days. The body was taken to the Home Undertaking establishment on N. Greenwood and embalmed, after which it was shipped Monday afternoon to his home at Gans. Many people, life friends of the deceased and many others, viewed the body at the undertakers rooms. Mrs. Gant, wife of the dead man accompanied the body to Gans. Business League Monday Night The local Business League will meet in the Woods building on N. Greenwood Monday night to take up important matters pertaining to East Eend. Every body invited to attend. All members are especially urged to be on hand. Every lady should have a supply of visiting cards. Let us print yours for you. Two Negroes Elected To Illinois Legislature European War Increases Postal Saving Business The war in Europe is proving a big boon to postal savings in this country. From the very day hostilities opened across the seas postal-savings receipts began to increase by leaps and bounds and withdrawals fell off, a result quite contrary to the predictions of many well-informed persons who, in their imagination, saw lines of feverish depositors at post-office pay windows anxious to again return their savings to the boot-leg and body-belt depositories whence they came before intrusted to Uncle Sam. But the forecasters failed to reckon on absolute confidence of the American citizen, regardless of the flag that first met his eyes, in the ability and purpose of the Government to carry out its obligations, not only among the nations of the earth, but with the humblest citizen of our land. Two important results have followed; thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send their savings abroad, are now patrons of our postal-savings system; and enormous sums of actual cash have been released for commercial uses among our own people at a time when the need for every available dollar is pressing. The growth of postal savings in the United States has been steady and healthy and the system has filled an important gap between the tin-can depositary and the factory paymaster. On July 1, when affairs were running smoothly here and abroad and the transmission of money across the Atlantic was safe and expeditious, there was approximately $43,000,000 of postal savings standing to the credit of about 388,000 depositors. Since then over $10,000,000 of deposits have been added and the number of depositors has increased enormously. This unprecedented gain is the more striking when it is considered that the net gain in the last three months is larger than he gain for the entire fiscal year 1914. Scores of offices have done more postal-savings business since the war has been going on than was done by them during the previous existence of the service. The increases are confined to no special localities, but have been felt in every nook and corner of the country. New York City alone made a gain in September of more than a million while Brooklyn showed a relatively big increase. Chicago reported a larger gain in the past three months than for the previous twelve months. More than 7,000 new accounts were opened during the period, bringing the number of depositors in that city to over 21,000. The unexpected increase in postal-savings business has not only added greatly to the general administrative duties of the system, but has brought up many new and interesting problems which have called for the careful personal consideration of Postmaster General Burleson and Governor Dockery, Third Assistant Postmaster General. But their task has been lightened somewhat by the promptness of depository banks in furnishing additional sturidity to meet the abnormal deposits. A number of the very largest banks in the country, which have heretofore declined to qualify as depositories for postal-savings funds, are now among the eager applicants for them. Universal confidence in the stability of the Tulsa Banks has prevented any Subscription $1.00 Per Year on Laws Soon is Elected is Legislature (Special to the Tulsa Star.) Chicago, Ill., Nov. 11.—Two Colored men were elected to the State Legislature of Illinois last week. Both were republican nominees and notwithstanding that Cook county, is democratic. Major R. R. Jackson of the Third Senatorial District polled a big majority, and Shadrock B. Turner, editor of the Illinois Idea, did likewise in the First District. This is the first time in the history of the State that two Colored men have been elected to the legislature. Major Jackson made a splendid record in the last legislature of this State and his re-election was expected by leading political prophets. great rush to the Postal-savings at the Post Office in our city, although the increase has been very noticeable in the last three months, as there has been $9,057.00 deposited by the patrons of this office in that time, as well as being an increase of 185 new depositors TO OUR READERS Every family in this country are now subscribers to various magazines and newspapers. The total amount of money paid for these publications probably amounts to several thousand dollars annually. It is money well spent, of course, because we must have something for the family to read.

We have made arrangements whereby we can save this community hundreds of dollars by merely ordering their reading material through our office.

CASE REPORTED IN MISSISSIPPI Eradication Cost May Reach Two Mil lion; Poultry Prices Advance When Chicago Yards Washington.—Further spread of the livestock foot and mouth disease caused the extension of the federal quarantine to Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Iowa. Reports to the department of agriculture announce the discovery of the epidemic at South Attlebury, Bristol county, Mass., and at Parnell, Iowa, the first case west of the Mississippi. Cattle, sheep and hogs, now cannot be moved out of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Massachusetts, Iowa, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. In addition to the states already quarantined Mississippi is believed to be threatened with a case at Como where it is reported a herd has contracted the disease. Hope was expressed upon the receipt of no reports of new cases in Indiana and Michigan that the epidemic there has been placed under control. On the other hand new cases were found in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania and in three more counties in Illinois. The spread of the disease makes certain an increased cost of putting down the epidemic. It would not surprise officials if the cost would be nearer the $2,000,000 expended by the German government to eradicate the disease from among its cattle a few years ago, than the $300,000 spent by the American government in fighting the 1908 outbreak of the disease. The expense of having inspectors trace the various shipments from infected centers will be very large. Ten new inspectors were rushed to Wisconsin, Iowa and Massachusetts. Department officials have suggested to the promoters of the Royal Cattle show to be held at Kansas City, Mo., this fall that the event should be postponed. Chicago Yard Closed. Chicago.—A large part of the cattle receiving and meat packing industry of the country, long centered in Chicago temporarily was shifted to Kansas City, Omaha, St. Joseph, Mo., and other western cities and the Chicago Union Stock Yards, for the first time since its organization in 1865, was closed down for nine days in consequence of the prevalence of hoof and mouth disease among cattle. The quarantine against the stock yards and all other cattle pens within the gate went into effect at all plants. The state's action supplements the federal quarantine against Illinois. No more cattle, sheep or hogs are to be received in Chicago until November 16 when business is to be resumed after the wards have been thoroughly disinfected and pronounced free from the disease. The effects of the quarantine at the union stock yards were shown in the prices of poultry. Anticipating a stronger demand for poultry by reason of the epidemic of foot and mouth disease among cattle, the price of live fowls has advanced four cents a pound in the last 48 hours. The price of dressed meats so far has not been effected and assurances given by the packers are to the effect that it will not be. C. Y. Devry, chief animal keeper at Lincoln Park, among whose specimens are a number of the cloven hoof animals, which alone are said to be subject to the disease, took alarm at the situation. He said that he would make certain that the hay given his bison, sacred oxen, deer and the like, had not come from an infected district, and that he would not bring any new animals into the zoo for six months at last. The killing of cattle and swine, ill of the disease continued at the stock yards and disinfectants were scattered all through the yard. More prize winners at the recent dairy show were taken sick and were isolated for observation. J. Ogden Armour, head of Armour and company, issued a statement to the effect that there is no danger of infection from dressed meats and Dr. O. E. Dyson, chief veterinarian of the state, gave out reassuring word that there is no danger in milk where the precautions ordinarily observed among the dairy herds and milk houses are maintained. Those with a liking for hunting were granted permission to shoot pigeons which fly about the yards attracted by scattered grains. 5000 TO DECIDE GOVERNOR RACE MAJORITY EITHER WAY WILL LIKELY NOT EXCEED THIS FIGURE. WILLIAMS !S LIKELY THE WINNER Senator Gore Re-elected, Running Far Ahead of His Ticket.—Socialist Vote Shows Great Oklahoma City.—That the successful candidate for governor is probably Robert L. Williams, and that he will not have a majority of over 5,000 to 8,000 is the nearest approach to an accurate statement of the Williams-Fields race that can be made, until the official count is made. State Chairman W. R. Samuel of the democratic committee sticks to his original claim that Williams is elected by 8,000 votes, and he placed the pluralities of the other candidates on the state ticket at from 20,000 to 25,000. Totals ..... 81,596 77,265 The four state questions initiated under the leadership of Charles West were favored strongly in many counties, but it was a question whether sufficient votes had been cast to insure their adoption. At state socialist headquarters the defeat of Fred W. Holt, candidate for governor, was admitted. It was said the socialists have polled between 60,000 and 65,000 votes in the election, and that they have elected several representatives. The one result that is sure is that United States Senator Thomas P. Gore ran far ahead of the ticket in the returns received, and has been re-elected senator by a 20,000 majority. The state, according to incomplete figures, will send seven democratic representatives and one republican to the next congress. Dick T. Morgan was elected in the Eighth district. His plurality probably will exceed 2,000 votes. The defeat of Henry S. Johnston of Perry practically was admitted by democratic headquarters. All other democratic congressmen were elected. Oklahoma county showed a great reversal of form, a Cruce 1,000 majority changing to 3000 for Fields. Logan county gives Fields 2000. Fields is making gains across the entire north half of the state while in some of the southern counties the democratic majority is increased. Wisconsin Republican Milwaukee—Emmanuel Philip, republican, of Milwaukee, Tuesday defeated Judge John C. Karel, democrat, Milwaukee, in the race for governor of Wisconsin by a plurality estimated conservatively at 25,000. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director Sunday School Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago) JESUS AND PETER. LESSON TEXT—Mark 14:27-31, 53, 54, 66- ?2 GOLDEN TEXT—Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.—I Cor. 10:12. The record of Peter's failure is a sad story. Mark, who received his Gospel from Peter, gives it in clear outline. This suggests that Peter did not spare himself. 1. After Passover Feast, vv. 27-31. On the way to Olivet Jesus warns the disciples that all would be "offended" (caused to stumble) because of what was about to occur. Not one escaped, Matt. 26:56, Zech. 13.7. Peter, assured in his own mind, denies that this should be true of him, so confident was he of himself and of his devotion. Over against this warning Jesus sounds the note of his resurrection, and it was chiefly in their inability to catch, or comprehend this note, that they stumbled. Particularly is this true of Peter. That Jesus could found a church on the vulgar tragedy of a criminal's death was beyond the range of his understanding. This self-confidence was the beginning of his fall, Prov. 16:18. It is pride like this which men have in their own strength, that is the chief reason why they are not saved. If they are able to care for themselves, why do they need the help of another? Peter's Denials. Peter trusted his own heart. A man is a fool who will trust such a deceitful member, Jer. 17:9, Prov. 28:26. Peter's loud profession is answered by a definite prophecy of his utter failure, v. 30. "Before the cock shall crow twice, thou shall deny me thrice." Again Peter contradicts the Lord, "I will not deny thee." Peter's later denial of the person of Jesus in the judgment hall is prefaced by a denial of his master's assertions on the way thither. He had to learn wisdom and humility in the bitter school of experience. Peter is quite like us all, but he did learn and profited thereby (I Peter 5:5), which cannot be said of all of us. II. Following Afar Off, vv. 53, 54. Peter "followed afar" into the court of the high priest's palace. We have suggested (Lesson of Nov. 1st) that zeal and affection prompted Peter, yet he was expressly forbidden and forewarned, John 13:36-38. Some one has said that the development of Peter's weakness began in the garden when he ceased to pray. That courtyard and its brazier of coals was a dangerous place for any disciple of the Lord. The servants and soldiers of the powers against Christ were congregated about that first. It is never safe to warm oneself at the enemies' fire though we see it constantly being done. Matt. 6:13; Ps. 1:1. III. "I Know Not This Man," vv. 66-72. While at the fire, a serving maid looking at Peter said, "Thou also wast with the Nazarne, even Jesus." Immediately and without any seeming hesitancy Peter denied, and declared his ignorance both of the man and of understanding what she said. Peter did not sympathize with what was being done to Jesus, but at heart he was not brave enough to separate himself from the enemies of Jesus thereby to draw upon himself some sort of censure or condemnation. Thus conforming to the world about him made it easy for Peter to utter his first note of denial. Having done so he passed on into the porch and heard the first crowing of the cock. The apparent contradiction between Mark and the other writers over the question of the number of maids seems to be solved by John 18:25, where reference is made to several who spoke at the same time. Doubtless the words of the first maid are re-forced by those of another on the second occasion; they both brought an accusation against him. Speech Betrayed Peter. This second maid addressing the onlooking spectators sald, "This is one of them," and again Peter denies the accusation. He had escaped one predicament only to be plunged into another and perhaps more dangerous one. To deny afresh seemed to be the only way of escape, James 4:4; I Cor. 15:32 R. V. A few words of a serving maid filled Peter with dismay but a second denial did not deliver him from his predicament. After a little those standing with him declared he must be one of the followers of Jesus, for his speech betrayed him to be a Galilean. Then Peter touched the bottom, for he accompanies his denial with curses. Don't exaggerate or misrepresent an article advertised in this page.

Producing Vaccines and Serums under U. S. License. CLERK DESERVED THE ROSE His Process of Clever Reasoning Was Certainly Well Worth the Decoration. When a telegram arrived at the Waldorf addressed to Mrs. S. Harkins, Edward Glasheen, the information clerk, looked through his big book and found no person by the name of Harkins was stopping in the hotel. It is a part of his duties, according to the New York Times, to deliver telegrams that at first look undeliverable, and as he studied the address on the telegram, knowing something about the Morse alphabet, he remembered that "h" is four dots and a "p" is five, Whereupon he looked into his big book again and found that Mrs. S. Parkins was stopping in the hotel. When Mrs. Parkins came to the desk he handed her the telegram and asked if it was for her. She handed it back. "I am sure it is not for me," she said. "Would you mind opening and making sure?" asked Glasheen. Mrs. Parkins tore open the envelope and glanced at the signature. "Why, it is for me!" she exclaimed. Then Glasheen picked up the rose somebody had just presented to John Woeffle, his assistant, and stuck it in his buttonhoie. "Shot" for Johnny. "I wonder why they call that a ladybug?" queried Johnny. "Because it's got good manners and behaves itself and doesn't go shouting around like a boy, I guess," answered his sister. Sometimes a man has to be smart in order to make enough money to support his grown up sons. Superior— "Surpassing others in greatness, goodness, extent or value of any quality."—Century Dictionary.

Washington, in a letter to the Negro people, makes these timely suggestions: "There are 1,400,000 colored families who live on farms or in villages, or small towns. Of this number, at the present time, 700,000 have no pigs. I want to ask that each family raise at least one pig this fall. Where one or more pigs are already owned, I want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall. "As soon as possible, I want to ask that this plan be followed by the organization of a pig club in every community where one does not already exist. I want to ask that the matter be taken up at once through families, schools, churches and societies, farmers' institutes, business leagues, etc. "The average pig is valued at about five dollars. If each family adds only one pig, in a few months at the present prices for hogs, $10 would be added to the wealth of the owner, and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the colored people. If each family adds two pigs, it would have in a few months $20 more wealth, and $28,000,000 would be added with which to promote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European war." The "pig club" idea is one that the Negroes of the South should embrace. At this time all farmers of the South are discussing the problem which an enforced reduction of the cotton area has precipitated, and it is generally agreed that hogs and the feed crops necessary to maintain them will be the most profitable substitute for cotton. There is no doubt that the white farmers will as far as possible pay more attention to hogs hereafter than they ever have before, and the Negro farmers are just as much interested in the hog question as others. The Negro farmers have made much progress during the past quarter of a century, but they have usually suffered from the same causes which have impoverished the white farmers, the chief of which is the failure to raise on the farm what is consumed at the farm table. Out of the present dilemma the South ought to emerge the greatest meat-producing region of the world, and this objective will certainly be reached if the 1,400,000 Negro families take Washington's advice and organize pig clubs in every village and farm community. The South will have all her agricultural problems pretty well settled when the southern farmers "live at home." It will be the most prosperous region of the United States, and we shall soon see the end of the tenant system, the credit system and all the old systems which have kept so many thousands impoverished.—Houston Post. Mrs. C. J. Walker, one of the most prosperous colored business citizens of Indianapolis and one of the most successful colored women of America, is founding an industrial school in West Pondoland, South Africa. The school is modeled after the Tuskegee institute, and has the indorsement of Booker T. Washington. She is also maintaining at Tuskegee institute scholarships, three boys and two girls, with the hope that they will go to Africa to engage in educational work. She was left an orphan at the age of seven, and has won her own way in the world. She is the only colored woman in the world to give $1,000 to Y. M. C. A. work. The number of Negroes in the United States proper in 1910 was 9,827,763, compared with 8,833,994 in 1900, or an increase of 993,769, a preliminary report of the census bureau announced. In 1910 Negroes formed 20.7 per cent of the total population, as against 11.6 per cent in 1900. The increase for the decade was 11.2, compared with 20.8 per cent among the native whites and of 30.1 per cent among the foreign-born whites. Of a total of 2,953 counties in the United States there were only 110 in which there were no Negroes, and there were 53 counties in 1910, as against 55 counties in 1900, in which 75 per cent of the population was Negro. Of the total number of Negroes ten years of age and over, 2,227,731, or 30.4 per cent, were reported as illiterate. The percentage of illiteracy decreased from 57.1 in 1890 to 30.4 in 1910. The total value of farm property operated by Negroes was $1,144,181,000, as against $499,941,000 in 1910. The death rate among them in the registration area was 25.5 for 1,000, as against 29.4 in 1900. TULSA, OKLA., STAR AN CULLINGS At the opening of the forty-third annual session of the Negro Baptist General Missionary and Educational convention at Fort Worth, Tex., Dr. L. K. Williams told 1,000 Negroes that if the Negro ever amounted to anything he would have to help himself, and not sit around on the streets complaining about white people or any other people. "Every man, woman and child in the state can be something and have something," he declared, "and if the Negro fails he will have only himself to blame." Proof. F. W. Gross, president of the Houston college, delivered an address. The convention was one of the largest in its history. Among the visitors introduced were Rev. E. Arlington Wilson and wife, of Muskogee, Okla.; C. G. Flishback, D. D., Topeka, Kan., field secretary of the National Baptist Foreign Missionary board; H. B. Britt, Louisville, Ky., singing evangelist. In addressing the convention in its second day's session, Rev. L. K. Williams declared that ignorance was the Negroes' great liability, and urged the convention to work as never before to wipe it out or the future of the race in America would be dark. "The pew is demanding a trained minister," said Reverend Williams, "and no time in our history have we had as many idle preachers waiting for some one to call them, and then we have few worthy churches looking for the proper men to call." Dr. J. E. Knox of Dallas, superintendent of missions, delivered an address, and introduced Rev. Dr. F. M. McConnell of Dallas, corresponding secretary of the General Baptist State convention (white), who delivered an address. "When I think of the war in Europe in respect to my people," said Doctor Williams in his annual address, "I shudder, and I call upon you ministers as leaders of people, as you go from this place, urge them to live closer to God, and do all of our work well." Rev. J. Frank Norris, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church, addressed the convention. He congratulated the Negro Baptists on what they had accomplished and the stand they had taken against intemperance and the saloon. "I believe it is possible to drive out whisky from our country." Attributing the inability of the Negro Presbyterian church to keep pace with churches of other denominations to too much culture, Rev. J. B. Isaacs, Wilmington, in a paper read at the session of the twenty-first annual convention of the Afro-American Presbyterian council at Reading Pa., representing five eastern states, suggested zeal and practical religion as a panacea for the ills of the sect. Rev, Isaacs said the church was afflicted with plague known as "intellectual achievement of the scholarship," and that something woefully was wrong with its ideas, otherwise the progress would be greater than at present. After a paper by Rev, Francis Gregory, Philadelphia, on "How to Reach the Unchurched," the session adjourned. A famous German physician proves that infantile paralysis is often carried from one household to another by domestic animals, such as chickens, ducks and cows. At the National Negro Business League convention at Muskogee, Oklahoma, it was stated that the 2,000,000 Negroes living in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas have under their control, as owners and renters, about three hundred million dollars worth of farm property and and own 60,000 farms, containing 6,000,000 acres of land with farm property, land, live stock, and farming implements worth $200,000,-000. The first state tuberculosis sanitarium for colored people in this country is to be located in Delaware, near Hope farm. It consists of several acres of well wooded and well watered land. A temporary building has been opened, with accommodations for about twenty patients. The livestock exhibit at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco will last throughout the period of the exposition, from February 20 to December 4, 1915. Competitions will take place in October and November of next year. CALOMEL IS MERCURY, IT SICKENS! STOP USING SALIVATING DRUG Don't Lose a Day's Work!

The eap- ture of this stronghold takes from Germany her last foothold on the Asiatic mainland and her last strategie position outside the Ger- man Empire in Europe. | Make Brave Defense. For nearly three months the little German garrison amounting to about 7,000 men composed of reservists who were living or doing business in China,-has held out against the land and sea attacks of the Japanese and of certain British detachments of both white and Indian troops that found themselves in China at the outbreak of the war, What the losses of the garrison have been are not known, but the official Japanese and British re- ports have indicated that Tsing ‘Tau has been taken at heavy cost of men on the part of the Allies, | Germans Try Again. A second concerted attempt of the German army to blast its way through to the sea, is flaming and roaring from Nieuport to the French frontier without definite result so far on either side, The area near the coast formerly held by the’ extreme German right and from which the Ivaders were forced by the Allies after many days of hard fighting, is held only by dead, dying and wounded, the inunda- tion having made the vicinity unin- habitable for living and having pre- vented an advance of the British, French and Belgian Allies. Battle in Sand Dunes. No decision has yet been reached in the battle in the dunes of West Flan- ders, and the opposing armies now stand virtually as they have stood for many days. While the Germans keep hammering away at the Allies around Ypres, which route they chose for thelr march to the coast after they had found the road along the sea barred to them, and the Allies are making an effort to move northward to Ostend, neither side has got very far, Floods Hold Both Sides. The Belgians and those supporting them have found that the floods which they created to stop the German ad- vance are a hindrance to their move- ments, althongh they have been able to occupy some villages, including Bix- schoote, which had been in the pos- session of the Germans, Germans Win Sea Fight. In the most important naval battle of the war between European powers a German fleet engaged the British squadron, composed of the Good Hope, the Monmouth and the Glasgow, off Coronel, Chile, and decisively defeat- ed it. This engagement practically ends the power of the Allies in the South Pacific seas unless a new Anglo- Jap fleet is formed, Turks Fight Russians. The first reports of the fight ing between the Russians and the Turks are as conflicting as were the first Austrian and Russfan accounts of the warfare in Galicia, Each contend- er claims to have invaded the other's territory and to have defeated his frontier armies. These fights, how- ever, probably have been only advance guard affairs, and it is believed that some time may elapse before a pitched battle takes place. The Anglo-French fleet continues to the Turks say the warships have in- the Turks say the farships have in- flicted no damage. In other parts of Turkey, British warships are being kept busy, The government, how- ever, has ordered that holy places shall be respected by the British gun fire, as long as the Indian subjects visiting them are not molested, This necessity for respecting the feeling of her Mosiem subjects may hamper Great Britain somewhat in the prosecution of the war against Turkey, but with her large Moslem population, It cannot be disregarded.

Russians Claim Big Victory. Grand Duke Nicholas, comman- dérin-chiet of the Russian forces in the fleld, has sent a telegram to General Joffre, commanderin-chief of the French forces, saying the Russians have gained in East Prussia the great- est victory since the beginning of the war. ‘The Russians have recaptured the Galician town of Jaroslau and have taken five thousand Austrian prison- ers, Jaroslau is seventeen miles northwest of the Austrian fortress of Przemyst ‘The Austrian attempts to cut off the Russian attackers finally have broken down, and the Austrians now are in retreat along the San River. Austrian troops are pushing through the Carpathians to support the Aus- trian army falling back before the Russians west of the San River, A correspondent at Lemberg states that these troops have been exhausted by the struggle through the snow-filled mountain passes. German Retreat, Russians Say. ‘The Russtan war office says the Ger- mans are retreating prectpitately into East Prussia with the Russian armies harrassing them at every point. The cold weather has apparently demoral- ized the Germans and many of them are reported surrendering without a fight.

DRESSING FOR SALADS EXPERT DESCRIBES THREE OF THE BEST YET INVENTED. What Is Known as French Dressing is Perhaps the Most Popular—Economy in Preparing Quantity at a Time. Tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers, apples and celery, asparagus, string beans and radishes—all the range of fruits and vegetables—combine in salads in such endless variety that the only law of combination lies in individual taste. Dressings, too, vary, but in them rule must be more nearly followed. These three recipes for salad dressing are given by Miss Cora E. Binzel, instructor in home economics, University of Wisconsin extension division: French Dressing.—One tablespoonful vinegar, one-quarter teaspoonful onion juice, three tablespoonful olive oil, one-eighth teaspoonful pepper, one-quarter teaspoonful salt. Add salt, pepper and onion juice to vinegar. Then add the olive oil, beating until thick and well blended. Use a cold bowl and cold ingredients. The ingredients may be put into a wide-mouthed bottle, corked and shaken until an emulsion is formed. The dressing may be mixed and set in the icebox until chilled; the oil and vinegar will separate on standing and require further beating. Following the correct proportions French dressing may be made in large amounts, kept in a bottle in the icebox and shaken before using. Sour Cream Dressing.—One-half pint sour cream, two tablespoonfuls lemon juice, one tablespoonful sugar, one teaspoonful salt, one-quarter teaspoonful pepper, one teaspoonful mustard. Beat the cream until it is light and thick; add the other ingredients. Sweet cream may be substituted. Cream Salad Dressing.—Ten egg yolks, one-half cupful butter, one teaspoonful salt, one tablespoonful mustard, one-quarter teaspoonful pepper, one teaspoonful sugar, juice of two lemons or one-quarter cupful vinegar. Melt the butter, cool it, and when solid cream it. Add the beaten yolks mixed with seasonings. Cook over water until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from fire, add lemon juice, and mix with whipped cream as it is used. The housewife should plan to prepare a quantity of dressing at a time, keeping it in the icebox, and add sweet or sour cream as it is used. Preparing some foods in quantity is economy of time, fuel and energy. Salmon, Cucumber Sauce. One can salmon, one-half tablespoonful salt, one-half tablespoonful sugar, one-half tablespoonful flour, one teaspoonful mustard, few grains cayenne, yolks of two eggs, one and one-half tablespoonfuls melted butter, three-fourths cupful milk, one-fourth cupful vinegar, three-fourths tablespoonful granulated gelatin, two tablespoonfuls cold water. Remove salmon from tin, rinse thoroughly with hot water and separate in flakes. Mix dry ingredients, add egg yolks, butter, milk and vinegar. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Add gelatin soaked in cold water, strain and add to salmon. Stand until set. Serve in individual molds with following sauce: Beat one-half cupful heavy cream until stiff, add pinch salt, pinch pepper and two tablespoonfuls vinegar; then add one cucumber, peeled and chopped. Spanish Omelet. Fry two chopped onions in two tablespoonfuls of butter. When light brown add two chopped green peppers. Next add one quart of tomatoes. Season to taste, and stew until it reaches a pasty consistency. This is sufficient to fold into a six-egg omelet. Pumpkin Fritters. One pint of pumpkin, boiled and sifted, one pint of milk, two eggs, one half teaspoonful salt, pinch of ginger, one teaspoonful molasses, flour to make a batter stiff enough to drop on griddle as for buckwheat. Did You Ever Try— Keeping a small crochet needle in the sewing machine drawer? It will be found invaluable when pulling bastings, ripping, catching the under thread and other details incidental to sewing. Sugar Cookies. To make sugar cookies take three-fourths of a cupful of fat, one cupful sugar, one egg, one-fourth cupful milk, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, two cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful flavoring or spice. Roll thin, sprinkle with sugar, cut out and bake. To Cut Cheese. To cut neufchatel or other soft cheese in smooth slices for serving, use a stout thread instead of a knife, as there will be no crumbling or breaking of the slices. DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES Speaker Says Newspapers Should Investigate Merits of Medicines Before Barring Advertisements. That an organized attempt has been made to blacken the reputation of the popular family remedies of this country, and to mislead the newspaper publishers into rejecting the advertising of such medicines, was the charge made by Carl J. Balllett, of Buffalo, N. Y., at the convention of the Advertising Affiliation at Detroit. Mr. Balllett is a director of the Proprietary Association of America, which includes in its membership two hundred firms which make the popular prepared medicines of America. Mr. Balllett pointed out that it is the duty of the newspaper publisher to refuse the advertising of any fake or fraudulent medicine, just as it is his duty to refuse any fake or fraudulent advertising, but it is not right to shut down on all medical advertising because there have been some fakers, any more than it would be right to refuse to publish all department store advertising because certain stores have made a practice of lying about bargain sales. Disease and death are mysteries. People who are perfectly well are skeptical. They laugh at the time-worn patent medicine joke, just as they laugh again and again over the many variations of the operation joke "The operation was a success but the patient died." This so-called humor has perhaps hurt the medicine business with well people, but when the hitherto healthy man feels a severe pain or illness, he immediately wants medicine, and will bless the cure whether it be at the hands of a regular doctor, a homeopath, an osteopath, a Christian Scientist or patent medicine. There is nothing more deadly than disease; nothing more honorable than to cure it. Mr. Balllett refuted the idea sought to be spread about that patent medicines are unpopular by showing that from 1900 to 1912 the amount of prepared medicines consumed in America increased from $100,000,000 to $160,000,000 annually. He showed that, although the American Medical Association is trying as an organization to exterminate so-called patent medicines, the family doctor, individually, is not fighting them but prescribing them. He estimated that 40% of the prescriptions written by doctors today include proprietary medicines. The writings of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, he said, have also aimed to destroy confidence in proprietary medicines; but that Dr. Wiley's ideas are not infallible is shown by cases where his analyses were entirely wrong. Mr. Balllett mentioned a case where, with all the power of the Government, he fought a preparation as being dangerous to health, and was ingloriously walloned. There has been spread the idea that a clever faker can mix a few useless ingredients and, by smart advertising, sell tons of it and win sudden wealth; whereas, as a matter of fact, the medicine business is notoriously difficult, and, where there has been one success at it, there have been a hundred failures. Any medicine which has no merit cannot live, because persons who are duped into buying it once will not buy it again, and the profit from advertising a medicine can only come from repeat sales to the same, satisfied people. Therefore, any medicine which has been on the market for a number of years, and is still advertised, must have merit behind it to account for its success. In conclusion Mr. Balllett declared that no newspaper is doing justice to its readers in the matter of medical or other advertising, unless it investigates, not only the wording of the advertisement offered for publication, but the merits of the article advertised. He pointed out that the few newspapers who have been deluded into the policy of barring out medical advertising have adopted this general policy, rather than to form an investigation bureau of this kind which could, in a constructive and useful effort, investigate and decide what is a good product and what is a fraud, in not only the medicine business, but in every other business which advertises its wares to the public. The audience seemed to agree with Mr. Balliett's ideas on the subject and the chairman decided the question at issue in his favor. Self-Evident.

Put That Pain to Use *When Your Back is Lame-Remember the Name* DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS Sold by all Dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Millburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., Proprietors Put Th The network of nerves in your body, like the network of wires in a burglar alarm system, gives quick warning when anything is going wrong inside. Looking at it in this way a pain is a useful alarm. Now, kidney weakness is a dangerous thing—a condition not to be neglected—and it is wise to know and pay attention to the early alarm signals of sick kidneys. Backache is a common warning of congestion or inflammation in the kidneys. It may be dull, nagging pain, or a sharp twinge when stooping or lifting. There are likely to be disorders of urination, dizziness, headaches, and drowsy, despondent, tired feelings. It is very hard to strengthen weak kidneys at first, but neglect invites rheumatic or neuralgic attacks, gravel, dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease. As a special medicine for weak kidneys Doan's Kidney Pills have been used for years all over the civilized world, and surely are considered reliable. The patient can always help the medicine immensely, however, by dieting lightly, using little or no liquor, tea or coffee, keeping regular hours and drinking lots of pure water. DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS When DOAN Sold by all Dealer NEWSPAPER AS LIFE SAVER Much to Be Gained, in Many Ways, by a Careful Perusal of Current Periodicals. Some weeks ago a number of people in Baltimore died from eating toadstools which they thought were mushrooms. During a recent week some half dozen others have been poisoned in the same way. One of two conclusions must be drawn from these incidents: either that a great many persons do not read the newspapers, or that they are willing to jeopardize their lives for a savory dish. All the probabilities are that the explanation of the second occurrence is not recklessness, but failure to keep up with current events. People who read newspapers regularly not only get information about the state of the world in general and of their own community in particular, but they get many valuable pointers as to what to avoid and what not to do. The newspaper acts, in fact, as a sort of life preserver if it is read carefully. That is, for people of average intelligence. There are always some persons who, in spite of conspicuous warnings, will walk on the railroad track and will not look out for the locomotive."—Baltimore Sun. How to Dodge the Snuffles. "If you want to dodge the 'snuffles,'" says a well-known physician, "the time to begin is right now. Don't cuddle yourself. Don't hug the radiator. Don't wear heavy underwear. Don't stay indoors. Don't eat too much. Don't bundle up. Don't be too comfortable. And girls, go right on wearing your low-necked dresses. It is the most sensible style that women has adopted in years. Keep to it. But do not make the mistake of changing from low to high and then back again. To get into condition for the winter and the rout of the 'snuffles' you must extend the unprotected area." A Busy Day.

My back ached considerably, and I was in pain of pain caught me over all kidney, just as if two knives were being thrust in me. The pain was terrible and I often had to groan. Sometimes when evening came I tried to get up and walk over the of the terrible pains in my back. When I went to bed I couldn't sleep well and there was no position that was comfortable. Mornings I was tired, nervous and totally unhappy. I had to help their part in making my lot hard to endure.

Reading of the cures Donan's Kidney Pills had made in similar cases. I began taking them and noticed improvement from the first day. I removed and my back and kidneys got strong and healthy.

People have a thousand and one ways of amusing themselves in the summer time, but as winter approaches, with its long evenings, everybody reads more or less. You do a little visiting, but most of your evenings are spent at home, and it is a wise thing to provide your family with a sufficient amount of reading matter, so that every member of the family may have something useful and interesting to read. Look over our list of magazine clubs, as advertised on page 5 in this paper, you are sure to find just what you want. You can get a good farm paper if you need it, a good poultry paper, one devoted to fruit culture, or dairy farming. You will also find in the different clubs many of the best short story papers published, and others devoted to literature, fashions and household subjects. Probably your own favorite journal is listed in this collection of the best and most popular magazines published, at any rate, you will not make a mistake in taking advantage of these bargain offers. You can get three fine high class magazines in connection with a year's subscription to our paper for practically nothing. Let all the family help make up the list. Mother can have her paper, father can have his, and there will still be one left for the young folks. Send us in your order today. Do it before you forget about it. The extra cost is so little that it is hardly worth considering, and besides you will be made glad for a whole year by the monthly visits of three high class publications. "Do it now." Rev. Jones Surprised Rev. and Mrs. T. Jones were surprised a week ago last night by members of tl Epworth League of the C. M. E. church who celebrated Hallowe'en by surprising their pastor with $10.50 worth of groceries. They came in while he was asleep singing "There's a Stranger At The Door". The party was composed of Messrs. J. J. Jackson, Middleton, Pettie Gruel, Fowler, McClure Mesdames Jackson, Williams, Freeman, Milliner, and Scott, and others who were robed in the Hallowe'en garb. Rev. Jones and wife desire to thank these friends for their kindness. Also he desires to thank Rev Frank Neff for a donation of $5.00 Muskogee, Okla., 3-5-14. Mr. A. J. Smitherman, Tulsa, Oklahoma. I have your favor of February 29 for which I thank you. I appreciate more than I can tell the great interest you are showing in the State Business League work and, in the League work generally. When it is done too at such an expense out of your own pocket. They all "holler" and "holler" about loyalty but when it comes to digging up, only a rew SMITHER-MAN'S like yourself will get in the collar. I thank you again for your kindness in publishing in the Star the little paper we read at the Business League and herewith enclose check for my annual subscription to the Star. (This check was omitted). Thanking you again for past favors and wishing you continued success, I am. --- OKLAHOMA Phone 2112 Co., Yours very truly, T. J. ELLIOTT.
