A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Chicago Ministers Slap The President White M. E. Ministers Denounce President's Segregation Policy. President's Nov. Letter To Oklahoma Club Women Chicago White M. E. Set It was pleasing to the members of the race to see the ministers of the white race take a stand against President Wilson on race segregation at its regular meeting Monday. They expressed the thought of the right thinking people of the country. The ministers took the stand that segregation practiced is wrong in principle because it is unfair to abuse one class of public employees, who have as much right as the others. They regarded it as un-Christian, unpatriotic and un-American. The resolution was submitted to the meeting by the committee on public policy and was passed unanimously. The resolution on the race question read: "Whereas, we believe class or race discrimination tends to produce dis- "Whereas, the national government President's Nov. Oklahoma Githrie, Okla., Nov. 28 1914.—My dear Co-workers: Reports from several points in the state inform me that the first or second Sunday in November was observed with religious services on behalf of Club Women with gratifying results. A few received the notice too late, and have put the service over to December 6, this is far better than not to have the service at all. We at Guthrie had a splendid service; one of our local papers describes it thus: "The women of Guthrie are getting together as never before. This means advancement, each one seemed to enjoy the meeting. Some were heard to say: "It was good to be here." This month I wish to say a word about finance. You remember we created several "Funds" the agregate of which taxed each club [$5.00] five dollars per annum This is the time to have entertainments and raise our money which, you remember, must be paid into the treasury on or before the first of May, without special notice. The Minute money should be sent to the treasurer as soon as raised because we want to get them into your club as soon as possible. We earnestly hope that each club or city federation will have one or more high class lectures or concerts by outside talent of National reputation. It is a great uplift and inspiration to our home folks to have this talent come to us; as a matter of Race pride we should train our The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5th 1914.

"Therefore, be it resolved that the Methodist preachers' meeting of Chicago hereby express its profound regrets that Mr. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, has indorsed the separation of the races in the government employ at Washington, D.

Let us not show ourselves small on this matter. It is our glorious privilege to bring the best to our people, let us put stress on this point. We pay, willingly, when we go to the White man's entertainments, let us be equally willing to pay for Negro talent. Let the Club Woman Standardize amusements, both as to quality and value. We hope the time is near when the Federation shall be able to finance a Lecture Bureau, so that every town in our state can enjoy a few good entertainments each year. We can persuade the Ministers and Layety that is for better for the good people to pay a reasonable price for the best talent to let their children, and the young church people spend nickels and dimes for questionable shows. If the churches and the parents, will co operate with the clubs, we can finance these high class entertainments, where pastors, parents and young people may all be instructed and edified. We can 'n this way assist in solving the problem of amusements. People must have recreation; if the good is not obtainable they will accept the indiffereet or bad. Let Club Women furnish the Best Yours "For lifting as we climb" JUDITH C. HORTON. N. E. Teachers At Okmulgee The third annual session of the Northeast District association of colored teachers met in Okmulgee Friday and Saturday, November 27th and 28th. On account of the late arrival of most of the trains and the time required for locating the teachers while in attendance the first session was not held until the afternoon of Friday. The teachers assembled promptly and manifested great interest from the very first. Through their Mr. Stevens the people of Okmulgee extended a hearty welcome to the association. The program showed careful preparation. Beautiful selections were rendered by the Treble Clet Glee Club of Muskogee. The papers on "Civic Education" by Messrs McCree of Tulsa and Sneed of Muskogee and the address of President Hughes were the features of this session. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year. Mr. J. T. Smith of Muskogee. President; Mr. Ellis W. Woods of Tulsa. Vice-President and Mrs. R. H. Graham. Secretary. At the night meeting excellent music was furnished by the Okmulgee High School Glee Club. Hon. Wm. H. Harrison, the speaker of the occasion delivered an inspiring address. His subject was "Visions." Although the weather was very inviting, the Saturday morning session was fully attended. After a short musical program departmental sessions were held—each teacher going to his respective department. The conductors were as follows: Primary work, Mrs. J. E. Porter; Grammar Department, Mr. W. H. Hill; High School, Mr. Ellis W. Woods. The Saturday afternoon meeting was opened with music, after which the different committees reported and the incoming officers were installed. The session closed with a banquet to the association by Prof. Fort and his teachers. The meetings were characterized by earnestness and enthusiasm. The papers and discussions were interesting and helpful. As a whole the teachers were eager to listen to the suggestions and experience of one another in order that they might get new ideas for their work. CLARENCE A. GUILLOT, Reporter. Southern White Man Speaks Joseph C. Manning of Alabama Tella Race to Aid National Independent Equal Rights League. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) New York, Nov. 27.—Rev.

H. Smitherman has made a record for himself as a "Sprinter" as well as a good officer otherwise. Last Tuesday evening he put on a running exhibition in which he was featured against a spirited house driven by two apparently intoxicated white women through the streets in the East End, attracting much attention by imitating the familiar Indian war whoop. Patrolman Smitherman heard the whoop and a few seconds later saw the dashing steed pass ahead of him drawing a buggy in which rode the two pretty white girls. The patrolman took up the chase and caught them in a distance of one block. The girls offered to bribe him but they soon found there was "nothing doing". The patrol wagon was called and the dashing beauties hauled to police station. They put up bond which was forfeited. new "Jim Crow For Ok Would Give Discretionary Power to the Corporation Commission. OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 1.—The enactment of a new "Jim Crow" law providing for separate but equal accommodations for the white and black races and giving the state corporation commission jurisdiction to determine the sufficiency of any complaints for alleged non-compliance with the law, is favored by Attorney General Charles West. Attorney General West, in commenting today on the decision of the supreme courct of the United States which practically upheld the validity of the separate coach provisions of the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law, but which held that a negro could not be denied equal accommodations with white people as to sleeping and dining car service, stated that he had some doubts all along as to the provisions which were knocked out by the high court. The solution advocated by the attorney general today is practically the same as suggested by him in his brief when he defended the "Jim Crow" law before the supreme court of the United States. Attorney General West contended in his argument that the federal constitution does not guarantee the negro chair car and sleeping car service unless he travels in such numbers and in such a manner as to create a reasonable demand for separate accommodations. Mr. West suggested that such cases, if denied these accommodations, the Negro should exercise his remedy of appealing to the interstate commerce commission if traveling interstate and to the state corporation commission if he possessed an intra-state ticket. The attorney general expressed the belief today that the amendment to the law suggested by him would make it wholly constitutional without a doubt by placing the discretion in the hands of the corporation commission to determine whether there was a sufficient demand for separate accom- Subscription $1.00 Per Year resident 8 Men to Go to Electric Chair In Ark. Little Rock, Ark. Nov. 28—Eight men, four white and four negroes, will be executed in the electric chair within 16 days, beginning Wednesday next. Neal McLaughlin, who will be executed Dec. 2, will be the first white man ever sent to the electric chair in Arkansas. Business League In Mass Meeting The mass meeting held in the Dream land Theatre last Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the local Business League was one full of interest and well attended. Rev. Jas. A. Johnson was the principal speaker of the day and in his usual impressive way stirred the audience to repeated burst of applause. He scored parents for neglecting their children, husbands for neglecting their family ties and mothers came in for a share of the same medicine. He also advised business men of the race to compete with other business men by giving as good material and service as the other fellow for the same money and in this way encourage race patronage. Rev. Johnson advised the colored peele of Tulsa to support the local Business League. "You can get anything Continued on page eight modations. The supreme court of the United States refused to take jurisdiction of the case involving the validity of the Oklahoma law, on the ground that it was not shown that the plaintiff McCabe and other Negroes had been denied accommodations by the railroads. Judge John H. Cotteral took the same view in the United States district court here and refused to grant the injunction prayed for, which was to prevent the railroads from running trains carrying separate coaches for Negroes and whites. The coming session of the legislature will doubtless be asked to amend the present separate coach law relative to travel of Negroes and whites in chairs, sleeping and dining cars, so as to make it conform with the federal constitution. William Harrison, a Negro lawyer of this city, represented the plaintiffs in the suit and argued it before the supreme court of the United States. He was the only lawyer presenting an oral argument and the supreme court room was filled with Negro auditors at the time of the hearing, it is said. Attorney General West and the Santa Fe railroad submitted their briefs defending the law, but did not appear before the court for oral argument. G. O. P. INDORSES NEGRO FOR ALDERMAN. CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—Oscar de Priest, a negro, was indorsed unanimously for the Republican nomination for Alderman by the regular Republican organization of the Second Ward last night. White and negro committemen participated in the meeting. De Priest formerly was a County Commissioner. ARMIES OF ALLIES NOW ON OFFENSIVE German Assaults Around Yser and Ypres Suppressed, the Allies Assert. RUSSIAN NAVY BOTTLED UP The Kaiser's Fleet Holds Baltic Sea and Turkey Controls the Black Sea—Sultan Declares Holy War on the Allies. (Summary of Events.) Official reports from Paris and London say that the Allies have assumed the offensive against the Germans along the Yser river and the Ypres canal in the last few days. This is regarded as a significant change. The Germans, following a lull lasting more than a week, made very heavy assaults all along the lines in the extreme northwest of France and in Southwestern Belgium. They had heavy reinforcements and fresh guns, and for a time it appeared that they would be able to cut the Allies' line and get to the English channel. It was reported from Berlin that the kaiser had ordered his great western army to get to Calais, France, by December 10, and that a raid on the east coast of England would follow the capture of Calais. That the Allies have been able to withstand the battering of the German forces, and have even assumed the offensive, probably means safety for English coast towns for the winter. British Warship Sunk. The British warship Bulwark has been blown up in the Medway river off Sheerness by an explosion in her magazines. Only twelve were saved out of the crew of 700 or 800 aboard the Bulwark. The explosion is believed to have been in an internal magazine. Whether it was caused by German agents or was an accident such as might have occurred in times of peace, has not been determined. British Lose Another Boat. Striking a mine off Grimbsy at the mouth of the Humber river, near Hull, the British collier Khartoum was blown up, a report from the British admiralty announces. The crew was saved, but the Khartoum went to the bottom. To Help England. A brief dispatch from Lisbon says the Portuguese congress has decided that Portugal should co-operate with the Allies. The minister of war has called for a partial mobilization of the army. The treaty by which Portugal believes it is bound to aid the Allies was made in 1703 with England, and it provides that "each shall mutually aid and help the other" in case of attack. French Guns Near Metz. French artillery continue to bombard Arnaville, only ten miles from Metz, Germany. The development of an offensive in Lorraine has long been expected, but to what extent it may be carried was not indicated at the war office. From north of Verdun and south of Metz the German line extends in a wedge into the Verdun-Toul defenses of the French Heavy Attack on Allies. The Allies have been attacked in force from Ypres to La Basse. A terrific battle has commenced. The Germans have heavy reinforcements and fresh guns for this renewal of the effort to cut through the Allies' line. The English artillery, however, thus far has thwarted all the German attempts. Russian Navy Blocked? The Russian navy is useless for the present. This is the gist of an official declaration made by the German war office. The Turkish navy dominates the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, according to the declaration. A bombardment of Odessa is feared and Russian shipping companies have removed their ships from these bodies of water. A blockade of the harbor of Libau places the control of the Black Sea in the hands of the Germans, while the freezing of the harbor of Archangel, in the White Sea, severs Russian communication with the outside world. German Defeat in Poland. Russia and Germany each claim a great victory in Poland. The Russian claim is supported, however, by reports from neutral countries and from neutral correspondents. It is said that the Slavs have virtually crushed one of Germany's finest armies in an engagement staged between the Vistula and Warta rivers in Poland and have taken about 50,000 prisoners. When the full details of the Russian lery, maxims and transports. Berlin victory are known, declares Lord Kitchener, commander-in-chief of all the British forces, they will furnish a story that will astonish the world—describing a blow such as has not been dealt since the days of Napoleon. Abandon Guns and Transport. Abandon Guns and Transport. The Germans have begun a retreat along the entire front, and in many places the flight is a disorderly rout, marked by the abandonment of artillmeanwhile is beginning to talk about repulsing Russian attacks, which is a subtle method of announcing that the German troops are on the defensive. The main Russian force is exclusively engaged against the Plock group, whose front is cut in halves. Its right half is surrounded on all sides and is vainly struggling as in an iron vise and striving to break through to the left wing at Lowicz, which in turn is battling unsuccessfully. A Second Battle Probable. A Second Battle Probable. The same dispatches that tell of Von Hindenburg's reverses, however, say that the German re-enforcements were being brought up so that another great battle is likely to develop on a line nearer to the frontier of Posen, where the Germans will have the same chances of renewing a vigorous offensive as had the Russians in the present instance. General Von Hindenburg has about 400,000 men, but if the Petrograd report can be accepted, they have been separated, badly cut up and thousands taken prisoner, so these German forces will require reformation and rest. Another Russian army is operating along the border of East Prussia, and a third one is pursuing a vigorous campaign in northern Austria. It was said by military experts that the purpose of the Austro-German attack and pursuit of the Russian center was to draw off the second and third armies from East Prussia and Galicia. Holy War Proclaimed. The proclamation of a holy war, announced for the first time some ten days ago, has just been published at Constantinople. It is signed by the sultan and twenty-eight Moslem priests and calls on the Moslem world to participate in a holy war against Great Britain, Russia and France. Turks Are Winning Fast. Official reports given out in Constantinople relate the continued successful Turkish advance upon Batum, the Russian port on the Black Sea. All the territory between the Turko-Russian border and the River Chursk is in Turkish hands, while a Turkish force in the southern part of this territory has taken Artwin. The Turks declare that the English losses at Shatt-el-Arab amounted to 750 dead and several thousand wounded. Riot in Constantinople. The British embassy in Constantinople has been sacked and the Russian hospital pillaged and all foreigners have been more or less seriously abused. May Attack Italy. The Italian government is aware that Austria is doing its utmost to induce Turkey to attack Italy, but none the less hesitates to believe the report that has just come in from one of its most reliable agents that common action of the combined Austro-Turkish squadron is to be expected against Italy at a very early date. ARCHDUKE CARL FRANZ XII It is reported that Kaiser Wilhelm, dissatisfied with the work of the Austrian forces against the Russians, has demanded the resignation of Archduke Carl Franz Josef, heir to the Austrian throne, from the army. The old emperor is said to have refused to consent to the retirement of his heir. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR GONZALES SHIES HAT IN THE RING THIRD "GENERAL" DECLARES HE IS MEXICO PRESIDENT. Villa's Troop Train Is Wrecked and Twenty-five of His Soldiers Are Killed. Washington.—State department advises reported that General Pablo Gonzales, now at Pachuca with 8,000 troops, had proclaimed himself provisional president of Mexico. He hitherto had been regarded as loyal to Carranza. Gonzales was one of the foremost leaders of the constitutionalist army in the campaign against Huerta. After the Aguas Callientes convention Gonzales disappeared southward INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE with his army, and his whereabouts since had been more or less of a mystery. The reports which came from Aguas Callientes threw little light upon the latest complication in the Mexican situation. It is not believed here that Gonzales, with his comparatively small force, will be able to interfere with the forces of Provisional President Gulterrez and General Villa for the joint triumphal entry into Mexico City. Villa Has a Wreck. El Paso.—General Villa's advance toward Mexico City has been marred by a railroad wreck. Twenty-five soldiers and camp followers were killed and thirty-seven injured when Villa's train collided near Tula with a train of General Manuel Chao. The latter leader was slightly injured. It was understood in Juarez that Villa would not enter the national capital until he had been joined by Provisional President Gutierrez and General Zapata. This, it was pointed out, would prevent any comment on which leaders first entered the capital. It was denied by Carranza officials that General Caballero had turned over his territory on the east coast to the convention party. The Villa officials followed this with the circulation of a report that Governor Sanchez of Michoacan had joined the convention government. Condition at Guadalajara, which has been attacked by Villa troops, were not divulged, although both sides claimed victory. American Private Killed On Border, Naco, Ariz.—Five more persons were added to the casualties on the American side in the siege of Naco, Sonora. Private Caine of troop B, ninth United States cavalry, was shot in the head and probably fatally wounded. Four Mexican children were wounded, one seriously. This makes a total of forty-one persons injured on the American side by stray bullets from Maytorena-Villa besieging forces and General Hill's Carranza troops entrenched in Naco. CHICAGO ARBITRATION MEETING Over 55,000 Men and 98 Railroads Are Involved. Chicago.—What those at interest declare is the most momentous abrivation case in the history of the country brought about by the interposition of President Wilson, is on here. The case is that of the employers of ninety-eight western railroads belonging to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and their employers, represented in the proceedings by the conference committee of managers, which was named for the purpose by the association of western railways. The arbitration was arranged under the provisions of the Newlands' law Ninety days are allowed to hear the evidence, and ten days additional for the delivery of an award. The number of men involved is 55, 000 and the railroad mileage affected 140,000. Don't exaggerate or misrepresent an article advertised in this page.

DEAD LIST WILL EXCEED 700 Accident Takes Place at Mouth of Thames, 30 Miles From London. —Caused by Magazine Explosion. Sheerness, England. —The British battleship Bulwark was destroyed by a terrific explosion as she lay off here. Only fourteen of the crew of 700 or 800 men survived. The explosion is believed to have occurred in her forward magazine. Whether it was caused by accident or design is a question to be determined by the commission which has been appainted to investigate. In the opinion of naval men, it was an internal explosion that put an end to the battleship. There was no great upheaval of water such as would have occurred if she had been torpedoed or struck by a mine. Instead, the ship was enveloped in smoke and flames and when this had cleared nothing could be seen but wreckage floating on the water. Houses seven and eight miles away were shaken by the explosion and even before men on ships anchored nearby could reach their own decks, the Bulwark had disappeared. The neighborhood was strewn with an enormous amount of wreckage, while pieces of the ship were thrown six or seven miles onto the Essex shore. Considering the size of her navy, Great Britain has been singularly free from disasters of this character. Nevertheless, when the French warship Jena was destroyed by an internal explosion in 1907 all cordite ammunition was taken from all the British ships and carefully examined. Refrigerators were installed in the ships to keep the powder cool. The Bulwark, which was one of the older battleships, cost $5,000,000. It is believed here that the explosion of the Bulwark was caused by the fall and bursting of a twelve-inch lyddite shell in her magazine. GENERAL CARRANZA IN VERA CRUZ Places His Capital In Seaport After Americans Depart. Vera Cruz. — General Venustiano Carranza reached here from Cordoba. His arrival brought thousands of enthusiastic citizens into the streets and when he spoke from the balcony of the municipal palace he was greeted with loud cheers. The general has taken up his official duties and from this city as his temporary capital will direct the campaign against Generals Villa and Zapata. General Carranza made the trip to Vera Cruz in the presidential train, the gayly painted equipment of which was made famous by Former President Porfirio Díaz. He was accompanied by Generals Obregon and Alvarado and Louis Cabrera. Jesus Ureta and other civilians who attained national distinction during the Madero regime. Behind General Carranza's train came troop trains. These soldiers are of a type superior to those generally seen here and are reasonably well equipped and disciplined. Beginning east of General Villa's territory, the Carranza supporters claim the states of Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas and down the gulf coast of the state of Vera Cruz. General Carranza's power, continued Senor Fabela, extends down the coast across the isthmus of Tehuantepec and northward from the isthmus through the state of Jalisco and Michican. General Dieguez, a Carranza general in Jalisco, has reported that he successfully withstood a heavy attack by General Felipe Angeles. In the states of Puebla and Tlaxoala, where Zapata and the former federal general, Aguilar, have been trying to gain the ascendency, the Carranza troops have gained unquestioned control, according to Senor Fabela. Between this point and Mexico City, continued the foreign minister, the only serious opposition—and that is not regarded by Carranza's followers as very serious—is that of Higinio Aguilar, a former federal officer, who controls the districts south of Apizaco between the main line of the gulf railway and the city of Puebla. Great Western Hotel FAMOUS POLITICIAN TAKES OK LAHOMA GIRL FOR BRIDE. The New Mrs. Croker Is Fift; Years the Junior of Her Husband.—Will Live In Ireland. New York.—Richard W. Croker, former leader of Tammany Hall was married Thanksgiving to Miss Bula Benton Edmondson, a member of the Cherokee Indian tribe who is 50 years his junior. He is 73 years old and she is 23, the bride and groom are at the Croker estate near Palm Beach, Flla. For their honeymoon. The edding took place at the home of Natan Straus, an old friend of Croker. The bride was given away by her uncle, V. W. Hastings of Tahlequah, who for fifteen years has been attorney for the Cherokees and who recently was elected to congress from Oklahoma. The bridesmaids were Miss Frances Fite, a censor at Vassar who comes from Muskogee; Miss Ethel Brown of Dayton, Ohio, and Miss Willia Townsend of Memphis, Tenn. Monsignor Henry A. Brann, rector of St. Agnes church, performed the ceremony. The groom's gift to the bride was a pearl collar. Croker was attended by Thomas F. Smith, who has been secretary of Tammany Hall for years. A typewritten statement given out by the bride after the ceremony made clear a good deal of her life history which has been reported in many different ways since knowledge of her engagement became known. Neither she nor Croker would talk much then so the newspapers made the best of it by interviewing her friends. Some reports expressed doubt if she really was descended from the Indians, pointing out that she was blonde and very fair. Others said perhaps she was one-quarter Indian. Others proclaimed her as an Indian princess and her statement says the latter were correct for she is known as Princess Sequoyah, or Ketaw Kaluntuchy among her tribe. Her father, the statement continued, was Michael Smith Edmondson, a descendant of Rodger De Montgomery, who commanded the van of the Norman army at the battle of Hastings, and her mother was Galeela Welch, who descended from the famous Chief Sequoyah, inventor of the Cherokee alphabet. "She is proud of her Indian ancestry and the Cherokees are proud of her as a college girl, lecturer. INTERNATIONAL MESS SERVICE Richard Croker. ranch owner and business woman,' the statement said. Croker first saw the girl who became his bride in Kansas City when she was nine years old, according to the statement and he later became interested in her zeal to make her people better understood. Miss Edmondson got inspiration for her work from Pocahontas and other Indian girls, she said. She told it thus. "I have been inspired by the example of Pocahontas, who did so much to make the English people understand our race. Then there was Saccawagea, the Bird Woman, who piloted the Lewis and Clark expedition five thousand miles and made it a success. On the way back in crossing the Missouri, her husband a renegade Frenchman upset the canoe carrying the records of the expedition. She dived again until she saved all the valuable papers and trophies. I also find inspiration in Talabina, the Cherokee malden who helped Sam Houston to free Texas." And then she turned to Croker who long was known as the "chief" of Tammany Hall and remarked: "But it is the dearest ambition to every Indian girl to win a chief, and I have won the chief of men." In April the couple will go to the groom's home in Ireland, where he has resided for many years since his retirement from political life in New York. TULSA. OKLA. STAR PRETTY CHRISTMAS GIFTS Acceptable Presents for Young and Old and How They Are Made A GIFT that will be appreciated by the man or woman who travels, is an apron of brown linen, rubberized on one side, in which to carry all necessary toilet articles. The rubberizing makes the inside of the apron and its pockets waterproof. To make it requires one piece of linen 20 inches long and 14 wide for the apron and a length 17 inches for the pockets and flaps. There are five pockets. One, $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches deep, extending across the apron, two four inches deep, at the bottom. At the top one of the pockets is $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches in depth and the other four inches. Small plaits are laid at each side of all the pockets except the long one. This long pocket is closed with a flap four inches wide while the others have flaps from one and one-half to two inches wide. The apron pockets and flaps are bound with bias tape in linen color. The flaps fasten with snap fasteners. A pretty handkerchief case is made of a straight piece of unbleached linen ```markdown ``` 17 inches long and $10\frac{1}{4}$ inches wide. Across one corner a spray of flowers is embroidered in pink with green foliage. Bow knots are embroidered in blue at each side of the spray. The case is lined with thin pink satin and interlined with a sheet of cotton batting, in which sachet powder is sprinkled. The edges are finished with button-hole stitching in pink silk. A work bag is made of coarse brown linen cut into the shape shown in the picture. It is 14 inches long and $10\frac{1}{2}$ wide. Two pieces are joined at the edges which are scalloped and finished with button-hole stitching in green silk floss. SASHES AND GIRDLES AMONG BEST OF GIFTS NO ONE need remain long in doubt as to what to get for a maid or matron in this day of the vogue of girdles and sashes. A girdleless gown is hardly to be found and whether for the street, the home, or evening wear, ribbons are used to form the circlet that enfoils the waist or terminates the bodice. There are any number of styles in girdles and sashes to choose among made of every variety of weave known to the loom and every color and combination of colors that has been thought out. A girdle of wide plaid ribbon, finished with a sprightly bow of two loops and two ends, is shown in the picture. It makes a Christmas gift that will delight every woman who likes to keep abreast with the mode. The girdle portion is boned to spread the ribbon and hold it in place without pins. The bow is simply tied and may be untied and the length wrapped about the figure if preferred. A sash of dotted satin ribbon, designed for a party gown, may be used as a model for making up any of the soft fancy ribbons, suited to dressy wear. It requires ribbon about four or five inches wide, of which three lengths are sewed together to form the girdle. This is boned at the sides and back to hold it in place and fastened in the back with hooks and SANTA eyes. Over the fastening a flat bow of three loops and one end is placed with the loops lying lengthwise on the figure. Narrow ribbons are sewed together to form wide girdles and ribbons of moderate width are bordered with black velvet ribbon, from an inch to two inches wide. The flowered Dresdens and rich, brightly colored brocades are very effectively bordered in this way. Sometimes narrow shaded or flowered ribbons are joined by means of narrow velvet ribbons, a half inch in width. The edges of the velvet ribbon overlap those of the satin ribbon and are machine stitched down. Girdles made in this way are fastened with hooks and eyes and the fastening concealed by flat bows of two loops without ends. NEW STYLES IN RIBBON BAGS FOR THE HOLIDAYS EVERY return of Christmas brings with it bags made of beautiful ribbons designed for many different purposes. A new design in a slipper bag is shown in the picture. It is made of Dresden ribbon over a pasteboard foundation. An oblong box is cut from cardboard, shaped like the cases made for opera glasses, but much longer. The bottom is an ellipse six and a half inches long and three wide. The sides are five inches deep. The HOLLYWOOD bottom and sides are covered with silk and afterward joined. The upper portion is made of a straight length of ribbon gathered about the box as shown in the picture. The second bag shown is easy to construct and sulted to almost any purpose. It is made by stitching to each edge of a length of striped or figured ribbon, a length of plain satin ribbon, to form a wide strip for making the bag. The ends of this strip are sewed together with a felled seam and the edges sewed together at the bottom. A casing sewed within two inches of the top, carries the ties of narrow satin ribbon by which the bag is closed and suspended. Rejoicing In Salvation. We may sing beforehand, even in our winter storm, in the expectation of a summer sun at the turn of the year; no created powers can mar our Lord Jesus' music, nor spill our song of joy. Let us then be glad and rejoice in the salvation of our Lord; for faith had never yet cause to have wet cheeks, and hanging-down brows, or to droop or die.-Samuel Rutherford. GOT THE PHRASES MIXED Small Boy's Idea of Occasion Would Have Been a Surprise to His Teacher. He was a Muncie boy of six years who was "serving" his first term in school. The honor was thrust on him to ride in a gayly decorated float in the Disease Prevention day parade, given under the auspices of the Muncie city officials. As he was hurrying away from home after his noon meal, anxious to be early on the school grounds in order that he might not miss anything, a playmate shouted at him: "Hi, Willie—what's your hurry?" Willie, his chest inflated, strutted up to the other with all possible dignity and replied: "Wy, don't you know the teacher 'pointed me t' be in the health prevention parade?"—Indianapolis News.

Yes, fiasco is right. Since Johnson has figured in world's championships, following his victory over little Tommy Burns, in Australia, in 1908, he has participated in nothing but "joke" contests, including with the husk of a once great scraper, Jeffries.

In other words what justice the Negro might expect from us already have a corporation commission in need of complaints have been made by colored had suffered unjust discrimination, but up to this has been done.

Bad of trying to evade the law Attorney would be trying to make the railroads live up to its time the case is taken to the Supreme Court fully prepared. The dicision of the U. S. Supreme Court in the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" case while it did not give us the expected relief shows conclusively that the railroads are supposed to give equal accommodation to colored passengers. This means that the railroads must carry pullman, chair cars and dining car service for colored passengers as well as for white passengers. This may be a handicap on the railroads, but it is the law—the foolish "Jim Crow" law that will make it so. The law is plain and uncompromising in its language and must be enforced, if it stands, according to the letter of the law. The railroad companies all realize this; and five of them concerned in the recent case before the Supreme Court asked that the law be declared unconstitutional. Now comes Attorney General West with a proposition to make a new "Jim Crow" law and vest all jurisdiction in State and intra-state Corporation commissions. In other words he would establish a political machine in the form of a corporation commission to act upon all complaints of colored passengers against railroads for disciminating, and every sane man in Oklahoma knows what justice the Negro might expect from such a course. We already have a corporation commission in this state and hundreds of complaints have been made by colored passengers who had suffered unjust discimination, but up to this date nothing has been done. It is not the desire to be with white people that prompt every decent, manly Negro to oppose the "Jim Crow" law, but a desire to enjoy full citizenship rights and to receive equal accommodation on public carriers. If the railroads would furnish equal accommodation; that is set aside a part of the pulman car, a part of the chair car and a part of the dining car (which is no more than the law requires) for such colored passengers who desire to avail themselves of this "luxury" there would be no kicks against the "Jim Crow" law except from the railroads. Instead of trying to evade the law Attorney General West should be trying to make the railroads live up to it. We hope the next time the case is taken to the Supreme Court it will be well and fully prepared. Making Its Usual Hit. There has just been issued from the press the Sunday School Commentary for 1915; a copy of this publication has just reached this office. It is published by The National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville, Tenn. The book this year is replete and brim-full of useful information for the church and Sunday-school workers, it is in its eleventh edition and covers a wide range of religious thought. Characteristic about the National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary, this year is that it contains colored mps of the Bible land together with the revised and authorized version of the Bible its primary teachings, its introduction for the quarter together with an introduction for each lesson. It also has the Bible Dictionary giving the proper pronunciation and brief definitions of the important words used in connection for the lesson with each quarter. Dr. R. H Boyd Secretary of the Publishing Board and Editor in Chief of the Commentary, assisted by the Editorial Secretary, Dr. W. S. Ellin.ton, have shown splendid foresight in the preparation and the continued publication of this teachers', superintendents' and the ministers' help.

Secretary Boyd states that for 114 the publication had an unprecedented circulation which reached something like 10,000, but it is confidently predicted that the book this year will reach even a larger figure in its circulation. The 1915 volume was out in September. The Publishing Board made a specialty in offering it to the delegation at the recent session of the National Baptist Convention in Philadelphia. We put our stamp of approval upon religious and racial achievements that stand out so much in a class to themselves as the publication that has just reached us. A Proclamation A Proclamation A nation-wide movement has been launched in this country to arouse interest in and extend aid to the destitute people in war ravaged Belgium. To further this movement in Oklahoma a committee of sympathetic and charitably inclined men and women has been appointed of which Governor-elect R. L. Williams has consented to act as Chairman. This work done by this committee is without compensation and It is not necessary to call attention to the great need of our help in order to stay the hand of famine and suffering among the Belgian women and children. In order that the work of the committee may be rendered as light and as effective as possible, the people of the State who are able and disposed to aid in this worthy cause should promptly respond to the call for help. The need is a pressing one and whatever aid is extended by the people of Oklahoma should be given without delay. The committee is anxious to send all the relief possible in time to be transported to the Belgians within the next forthnight. Arrangements have been made by which free transportation from Oklahoma to Belgium will be accorded, and all cash contributions made in this State will be expended within the borders of Oklahoma in purchasing suen food and clothing as will serve the needs of the Belgium people. All food and clothing donated will be promptly forwarded to its destination That the committee may be given the greatest possible assistance in its work, I respectfully request and urge the ministers of the various churche of the State to call upon their respective congregations on Sunday, December the 6th. 1914, for such contributions in the way of food, clothing or cash as they may be inclined to give, and that resort of all such contributions be promptly made to G.

My commission expires April 11th, 1914., AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Forty Tom Watson watermelons, ranging in weight from 45 to 62 pounds, recently attracted and held my attention in Muskogee, Okla., while I was passing through a splendid agricultural and industrial exhibit, writes William Anthony Aery of the Hampton institute. Fred Hawkins, a young, slim, dark-skinned Negro of East Muskogee, who is a share tenant, working a dozen acres of rich Arkansas bottom land, raised these melons. He had caught the idea of growing fine fruit and other farm crops from seeing his white neighbors reap large profits from their few acres. He had done his best in farming and had won, thereby, both for himself and for his race, the confidence and respect of many white and black business friends. Law-abiding, hard-working, and thrifty, he has not been seriously troubled by any pressing problem of race adjustment. He has solved the problem through advancing the best interests of his own community. When he was a child he lost his mother and father and was brought up, along with one sister, by his grandparents. Though they were ignorant of book-learning they taught him to work, to save and to be honest. Hawkins-is still a renter and lives in a two-room huose on a small plantation, but he is on the road to becoming an independent farmer. He has a kind and foresighted landlord—a man who furnishes his tenant a team of strong mules, good farm implements and a comfortable house. Hawkins is also making hundreds of dollars for himself, as well as for his boss man, from his cotton, corn, sweet potatoes and watermelons. I have told, in some detail, the story of Hawkins and his success to show that this young Negro is worth helping and worth understanding, that he is really succeeding, and that he is a real asset to the white man. The best Southerners know and believe this. What Hawkins has done in East Muskogee to cement more friendly race relations through his thrift and good farming, the National Negro Business league has been doing on a large scale, during fourteen years, for the whole nation. What Negroes in Oklahoma have done to earn bread by the sweat of their brow may be readily repeated by Negroes throughout the United States, provided they are willing to pay the city for the blessings of the open country and make their essential interests harmonize with the interests of the best white people. Booker T. Washington and other Negro leaders took part in the opening ceremonies for the Paseo Y. M. C. A., which was opened for Negro men November 22. The new building, which is on the Paseo between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, represented a total cost of about one hundred thousand dollars, and is thoroughly modern and complete. R. B. De Frantz, the secretary of the new building, worked out an elaborate opening ceremonial that lasted from November 22 to 29. A playground institute has been organized in Cleveland, O., to train workers for the local playgrounds and recreation centers. Dr. A. E. Patterson, director of the department of hygiene in the public schools, started the work. Returns from the several American consulates and agencies in Australia show an aggregate export trade to the United States during 1913 to the value of $13,159,470, compared with $10,988,747 in 1912; to the Philippine islands, $2,759,604, compared with $3,001,113; to the Hawaiian islands, $514,960, compared with $377,748. The population of Belfast is slightly under four hundred thousand, and in the entire province, some of the remote parts of which are unsuited to motor cars, there are only about one million seven hundred and fifty thousand people. As an indication of the initiative, the industry and the capability of Negroes, it is reliably reported that more than ten thousand business enterprises in this country are owned, controlled and operated by Negroes. In California there are 350,000 acres on which grape vines are growing; 170,000 planted to wine grapes; 11,000 to raisin grapes and 50,000 to table grapes. The fireside appeals to the older members of the family. Here they gather to talk of the past. Very little planning for the future and only a spare use of books and papers. In fact, there is nothing to interest the younger generation of today. The old, unpainted, ill-constructed house called home has ceased to be attractive to the boy or girl who has attended school and learned something of modern living. In most cases his thoughts turn immediately to the city, where his brothers have caught the spirit of modern life, live in better houses and have some of the comforts of modern life. Is it any wonder he leaves the farm for the city? And in proportion as these young Negroes leave the farm and flock to the cities "the problem" grows harder of solution. General observations show that the majority of the workers are careless and indifferent. The spirit of hope of interest in things living and growing seems to be dormant. A mere existence is all asked for or expected. There is no display of inventive genius, no saving and planning for the future. We again repeat that there are exceptions, but the above criticisms are absolutely true of the majority of our Negro farmers. And if it is true of those who own their farms, what must be the condition of those who rent? What can be said of the tenant farmer? Where directed by some intelligent owner whom he respects and has confidence in he does well, but in most cases his condition and that of his large family is pitiful. A mere child in mind, a man in body, he works and works, and yet accomplishes nothing. This condition can be stopped to his advantage and to the advantage of the landlord. Common sense, business and humanity demand a change. The second annual meeting of the Philadelphia branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was held at the Friends' Meeting house, Fifteenth and Race streets, Philadelphia. The reports of the work of the association revealed that considerable had been accomplished during the year in behalf of the colored race in that city. It was shown that in several cases discrimination in moving-picture shows, theaters and restaurants efforts to safeguard the Negro had been met with success and in one instance a damage suit had been won against the proprietor of a moving-picture show. The meeting listened to addresses by Miss K. M. Johnson, traveling representative of the National association, and Miss May Childs Nerney, national secretary of New York. The officers elected for the ensuing year: President, Ellwood Heacock; vice-presidents, Dr. J. Max Barber, Mrs. S. W. Layton; secretary, Isadore Martin; treasurer, R. R. Porter, Bradford.

To solve the problem of disposing of the dead, a famous German architect proposes to erect in the chief cities immense pyramids, each of which would hold the ashes of 1,000,000 cremated bodies. President Wilson gave strong encouragement to southern colored men who are promoting an exposition in Richmond next year commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro by accepting an invitation to visit the exposition and make an address. A large delegation, headed by Giles Jackson of Richmond, president of the exposition, and Judson W. Lyons of Augusta, former register of the treasury, representing the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices the exposition is to be held, called on the president and extended the invitation. In accepting, the president said that he wished the exposition every success. The president was told that the progress of the Negro in the last 50 years would be fittingly celebrated at Richmond, and that this progress was shown in the fact that in the state of Virginia alone the Negroes pay taxes on $34,000,000 of property, church and school and similar properties not included. Nine-tenths of the fire loss of this country is caused by carelessness. TULSA. OKLA., STAR SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS TO WHITES IS DECLARED UNSTITUTIONAL. HIGH COURT KILLS SLEEPER RULE Petition of Blacks Denied, However, Because of Glaring Imperfections In Presenting Their Case. Washington.—A majority of the supreme court joined in an opinion that the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law proviso permitting railroads to furnish sleeping, dining and chair-car accommodations only to the white race was unconstitutional, but they did not so decree because of imperfections in the petition on which the case reached the courts. The case was one in which five negroes, claiming that the entire law was unconstitutional, sought an injunction to restrain five railroads in Oklahoma from enforcing it. The Oklahoma federal courts dismissed the petition, holding the law constitutional. The majority of the court affirmed the dismissal because the negroes had not shown they had applied to the railroads for accommodations under law or that the railroads had notified them that they would be refused certain accommodations. Disagree on technicity. The majority through Justice Hughes stated, however, that they could not agree with the lower court that the proviso as to sleeping, dining and chair cars was constitutional. A minority consisting of Chief Justice White and Justices Holmes, Lamar and McReynolds concurred merely in the order of affirmance but expressed no views on the constitutional question. In the opinion by the majority Justice Hughes stated that previous decisions that laws for separate coaches for the two races was constitutional were not to be questioned. He then set forth the reasons for the opinion that the lower court was wrong in holding the proviso constitutional. "The reasoning is," he said, "that there may not be enough persons of African descent seeking these accommodations to warrant the outlay in providing them. This argument with respect to the value of the traffic seems to be without merit. It makes the constitutional right depend upon the number of persons who may be discriminated against, whereas the essence of the constitutional right is that it is a personal one. Whether or not special facilities shall be provided may doubtless be conditioned upon there being a reasonable demand therefor, but if facilities are provided substantiality of treatment of persons traveling under like conditions cannot be denied. The court gave no intimation as to whether in a proper case it would merely hold the "luxury" car section unconstitutional or whether it would decide that this section being unconstitutional the entire law must fall. BUDGET FOR ADMV IS INCREASED Estimates Call for More Than $104, 000,000 for Coming Year. Washington.—Appropriations aggregating $104,124,512 to carry the army through the coming year was proposed in estimates which the war department just has completed for submission to congress. This is an increase of $3,104,300 over the total carried by the army bill for the current year, although reductions are made in the allowances for many branches of the service. A new item of $150,000 for purchase of automatic machine rifles is asked. Altogether $2,900,000 is sought for ammunition compared with $3,000,000 carried in the current law. For field artillery for the organized militia $2,000,000 is asked; $2,100,000 having been appropriated last year. For the manufacture, repair and issuance of arms at the national armories, $250,000 is asked as against $450,000 last year. The signal service would get $700,000, of which $400,000 would be for the purchase, maintenance, operation and repair of airships. Provision would be made for giving one year's additional pay to the beneficiaries of men killed in the army aviation service. Other items in the estimates on which congress will be asked to base the army bill include: Subsistence of the army $10,250,912; regular supplies for the quartermaster department, $8,000,000; new barracks and quarters in the United States proper, $2,000,000; transportation of the army, $10,000,000; barracks in the Philippines, $400,000; clothing and camp equipment, $6,900,000, an increase of $250,000.

Made by Van Vleet-Manefield Drug Co., Memphis, Tenn. Price $1.00 INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director Sunday School Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 6 CHRIST RISEN FROM THE DEAD. LESSON TEXT—Mark 16:1-8; Matt. 28:11-15. GOLDEN TEXT—Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen—Luke 24:5. 6. The death of Christ made a profound impression, Luke 23:48, 49. Joseph, who had been a secret disciple, obtained the body and gave it burial, Mark 15:42-47. In the lesson selected for today we have, first, Mark's record of the discovery of the resurrection by the women, and, second, Matthew's record of how his enemies dealt with that fact. I. The Resurrection Morn, Mark 16:1-8. The Sabbath ended at sundown and the shops were then opened. Mary Magdalene then purchased spices that they might anoint the dead body of Jesus. They may have paid the tomb a visit late on Saturday, see Matt. 28:1 R. V. Starting the next morn, "while it was yet dark," John 20:1, they came to the tomb to perform their last service of gratitude and love. He had no need of this service, Matt. 16:21; 20:19; however, it was acceptable and they were rewarded by receiving the first glimpse of the risen Lord. Women's Love Genuine. The reason they did not expect to see a risen Jesus was in their failure to listen to and to ponder on his words. The men also failed to comprehend the note of his resurrection which he so frequently sounded. Indeed, the report of these same women is by these men considered "as idle tales," Luke 24:11. The women appear in a better light than the men in this story. The women, especially Mary Magdalene, loved much because he had done so much for them. The extent and the genuineness of their affection is found in that they went to the tomb to serve Jesus when apparently hope had fled and faith was blighted, I Cor. 13:8 R. V. Their visit was the fulfillment of their ministry of love, yet it reveals the darkness of their minds. This was common to all of his followers. Appcaching the tomb they are confronted by a new difficulty—"Who shall roll away the stone?" The words of verse four are significant—"Looking up, they see that the stone is rolled back," Am. R. V. This undoubtedly refers to the situation of the tomb and their approach thereto, yet the fact remains that "looking up" most of our difficulties are removed. Let us be constantly "looking unto him." It has been suggested that God rolled away the stone, not that Jesus might get out, but rather that the women might get in. Mary found two angels sitting, one at the head and one at the foot, where the body had lain, John 20:11, 12, and the two disciples to whom she reported found the linen cloth and the napkin and "believed," John 20:2-9. The women were overwhelmed with perplexity and, like Peter and John, "knew not the Scripture that he must rise again from the dead." The angelic message, "He is risen; he is not here," was the sounding forth of a message as great and as glorious as that sounded by the angels on the night of his birth. Such experience and such knowledge entails a definite burden of responsibility, therefore the logical message and command of verse seven. This is also in accord with the Savior's last earthly message, Mark 16:15; Matt. 28:18-20. It is natural for us to toiler in silent meditation at the place of our greatest revelation or of our deepest soul experiences, but these women are urged to "go quickly." The message of salvation is too important to brook any delay. Spread False Tale. II. The Watch at the Sepulcher, Matt. 27:62-66 and 28:11-15. Evidently the manner of his death and his reported prophecies as to the resurrection made an impression upon the enemies of Jesus. This guard is an expression of the ultimate antagonism of the priests and rulers. As this, the morn of the first day of the week, approached the guard saw the vision of the angel and in its presence became as dead men. When later they had recovered they hastened into the city and reported to the priests the fact of the coming of the angel and that the stone, upon which the seal rested, had been removed. Bribed, they spread abroad the tale that the disciples had stolen his body. The falseness of such a tale is evidenced by the fact that the rankest infidel has not the temerity to make such a claim today. Backache Spells Danger Do you know that your bad back may be merely a hint of some hidden, deep-seated kildney disorder?

STAR WESTERN CANADA'S OFFER IS AMERICA'S OPPORTUNITY GROW GRAINS IN WESTERN CAN ADA, ENJOY AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE AND MAKE COUNTRY With the European wheat fields desolated, and the farming population more than decimated, there will be for a number of years a demand for food products that has not been experienced in the memory of the present generation. Everyone regrets the horrible war that has brought this about. Its effects are felt not only in Europe, but in every part of the American continent. Many lines of business have been hurt, but only temporarily it is hoped. Financial stringency is being talked of. There is a way of overcoming these things; and Western Canada offers the solution in its immense agricultural area, when the possibility of retrieving losses, making assured gains, and at the same time becoming a factor in providing the world with the one great requisite—wheat—is so pronounced that it cannot be overlooked. There are several ways in which excellent farming lands can be secured in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, and also British Columbia. In the first place the offer of the Dominion Government of 160 acres of land free to the settler is something not given by any other country. Conditions of settlement are easy. Live upon the land six months in each year, for a period of three years, cultivate about thirty acres, and erect a habitable house. Instead of cultivation, the keeping of a certain number of head of cattle will carry with it the same value. Many of these homesteads may be had in the open prairie area, where every acre can be put under cultivation, but to the man with limited means, in the park area, lying north of the central portion of three of the provinces named, there is afforded the best chance. In this park country are beautiful groves of poplar and willow, small lakes and sireams, and sufficient open area to enable one to go into immediate cultivation for crops of wheat, oats, barley and flax, any one of which does wonderfully well, giving prolific yields. In due time when more land is required for cultivation, these groves may be cut down at small cost. In the meantime, however, they have been valuable in providing fuel and shelter for cattle, which thrive wonderfully on the wild grasses that grow in abundance. Another plan is to purchase from some of the railway companies who hold large tracts, or from some responsible land company. The prices asked are exceedingly low and the terms easy. Whether one may decide to locate in the open prairie area or in the park country the land will be found to be of the same general texture, a rich black or chocolate colored loam on a clay subsoll. Again attention is drawn to the fact of the great opportunities for farming that are offered in Western Canada. Already a number of holders of tracts of land there, who are residents of the United States—business men, merchants, lawyers, bankers—men of foresight and keen knowledge of business, have decided to cultivate the lands they have been holding for speculation and wait no longer for a buyer to turn up. They are acting wisely. Canadian laws are as fair and just as can be found in the civilized world. Military service is not compulsory, nor is there one ounce of coercion used. Anything that is given to Great Britain whether in money or men is entirely voluntary. There is no drafting nor conscription of any kind. Already over sixty thousand of the young men of Canada have volunteered for service, and thirty-five thousand have gone forward, many of these having left their farms in their love for Great Britain and a desire to fight for their country. As a consequence, many farms may be left untilled. Therefore Canada invites others to come in and take their places. This then is the opportunity for the American who wishes to better his own condition.—Advertisement. Treatment. "Why are you hard on Doctor Bones?"

A specially prepared pennant will be given to the county, city, town or village in each class anywhere in the United States selling the largest number of seals per inhabitants. Last year Cody, Wyo., was among the largest buyers per capita, selling over 22,000 with a population of 1,200. Some cities in New York, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and other states sold from three to six per resident. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which is carrying on the promotion of the sale, considers that any city of 10,000 to 100,000 population ought to sell at least three cents worth of seals per inhabitant. All of the proceeds from the sale of Red Cross seals, except the expenses of the sale, go to fight tuberculosis in the community, state, city or town where the seals are sold. When the Curfew Tolls. Curfew memories are revived by these new official orders for "lights out" in London. There are places where the new decree will seem less drastic, because the old law of early Norman times is still observed, so far, at least, as the ringing of the curfew bell. The little Surrey village of Chertsey, for instance, still re-echoes to the ringing of curfew at sundown from September 29 to March 25. Londoners, though few of them seem to know it, may hear curfew toled every night at nine o'clock in Lincoln's inn. And Canterbury bells still ring out the curfew as they did centuries ago.—London Chronicle. Wanted His. "Oh, yes, I got back all right. I had plenty of money."

Sincerely yours, JOSEPH C. MANNING, of Alabama BUSINESS LEAGUE IN MASS MEETING. you want" he said "if you will get behind this League and let them get it for you. You can have every street out here paved from one end to the other if you want it done by supporting his League." The sanitary conditions of the East End was deplored by Rev. Johnson and he said an epidemic of some kind is sure to visit Tulsa if conditions are not improved. After his address "General Discussions" were indulged in by any one who felt like saying something. J. B. Stradford denounced the "Slot Machine" evil, and Tuesday all the slot machines in the East End were removed. Lawyer Martin discussed briefly the Wilson-Protter incident and Prof. J.W.Hughes discussed the "Jim Crow" case recently argued in the U. S. Supreme Court by Lawyer Harrison of Oklahoma City. The League will hold meetings at the Dreamland Theatre every Sunday afternoon, and discuss questions of current interest to the public, and to render literary programs. The program tomorrow will be as follows: Music, Audience 4 Music Audience 5 Recitat on, Miss Gertrude McDonald 6 Instrumental Solo, Miss Etta Kidd 7 Address, "The Negro and his Race" J.

The circulator is well impressed with the people of Bristow and had much to say about his trip but for lack of space (and cash) it could not get in this issue. He will probably visit Bristow again today and no doubt make more friends and money for the Star. The circulator also visited Sapulpa last Sunday and was given a warm reception by our friends and subscribers there. He attended church and heard an inspiring sermon by Rev. Curtis, returning Sunday nigt to Tulsa. G. W.
