The executive committee decided to leave the matter of the final decision to a committee composed of Dr. Booker T. Washington, president; Hon. J. C. Napier, chairman of the executive committee; and Emmett J. Scott, secretary. All these invitations were most cordial, but after weighing all matters carefully, it has been decided to hold the next meeting in Boston, Mass., in response to the invitation. The National Negro Business league was organized in Boston, August, 1900, and so the fifteenth anniversary of the organization will be celebrated in connection with the coming meeting to be held there Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Aug. 18th, 19th and 20th, 1915. The Local Negro Business League of Boston is more united than ever before, and all the forces are working together to make the coming meeting a memorable one. The national organization working in earnest co-operation with the Boston Negro Business League No.1, will do everything possible to assure at Boston a meeting in every way worthy of the progress and influence of the league during the past fifteen years.

Gives Lynching Record For Year 1914 Forty Nine Negroes and Three Whites Put to Death By Mobs in U. S. Wright Funeral Draws Crowd The funeral of Ezra Wright, the young man who fell down the elevator shaft at the Robinson Arcade and instantly killed was preached at the Mt. Zion Baptist church last Sunday by Rev. Whitaker. The funeral was one of the largest ever seen here. The young mans' mother, who had just returned from the funeral of her husband in Mexico two days before her son was killed was prostrated with grief at her home and was unable to attend the funeral. The body was embalmed and buried by the Home Undertakers. Booker T. Gill Record For Forty Nine Negroes Put to Death B Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec 31, 1914.—I find according to records kept by the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute that during the year that has just passed 52 persons were put to death by mobs. Of this number 49 were colored and 3 were white. The number of persons lynched in 1914 was apparently the same as for 1913 and is the smallest number for a year since records of lynchings have been kept. Although the number of lynchings has not increased, there appears to be an increasing tendency to lynch for any cause, however trival, and also to disregard sex. Of the 52 persons lynched in the past year only seven, or 13 per cent, two white and five colored, were charged with rape. Three of those lynched were women. One of these women was only seventeen years old, and was charged with killing a man who, it was reported, had raped her. Another of the women lynched was accused of beating a child to death; while the third woman and her husband were charged with setting fire to a barn. In the presence of their four-year-old child they were put to death. The crimes charged against the persons killed were: murder, 13; robbery and murder, 6; robbery and --- Spending Time and Money Passing Infamous Laws Against Negroes WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—A bill to prohibit intermarriage of whites and Negroes in the District of Columbia was passed by the house today by a vote of 230 to 60. Vigorous debate preceded the vote. Representative Clark of Florida, author of the bill, denounced intermarriage, declaring it worked harm to both races. Republican Leader Mann and Representative Madden of Illinois opposed the measure. Mr. Madden said it would "leave many young girls at the mercy of brutes willing to take advantage of them, and then leave them to a life of shame." Mrs. A. E.

Milton Turner Speak Ex-Minister to Liberia Talked More Than One Hour Will Talk to Mixed Audiance Sunday Afternoon Jan. 24th The address of Hon. J. Milton Turner before the local Business League last Sunday was one of unusual interest, remarkable for its sound logic and its intrancing eloquence. Though past 74 years old, Mr. Turner has a wonderful control of his voice and a vocabulary very much out of the ordinary. White Man Arrested On Forgery Charge Mr. Turner took the liberty in prefacing his remarks to correct an error which appeared in the Star last week to the effect that he was minister to Liberia under President Cleveland, whereas it should have been said under President Grant. He also took exception to the Star's claim that he is the oldest Negro lawyer in the United States, referring to the late Hon John Rock of Boston as a man who was a lawyer when he (Turner) was a boy. But it will be remembered that Mr. Rock is dead, therefore the Star's claim remains good. In spite of the inclement weather quite a number of people were out to the noted speaker and all that heard it agreed that notwithstanding his age the old man is a master as an orator. He talked one hour and 15 minutes, discussing at length the relative status of American Negro and the American white man. With statesmanship diplomacy he touched upon the cause of the present strife in Europe, and its ultimate effect on the nations of the world, prophesying that even the United States would become envolved in the conflict. The Negroes of America, says Mr. Turner, will never come unto their own except through their own efforts, and these efforts must be looking toward the organization of capital. Since his talk last Sunday a number of urgent requests have been made by both white and colored people that Mr. Turner repeat the address or deliver another one at some future date. Mr. Turner has finally agreed to deliver another address to the citizens of Tulsa Sunday afternoon January 24, at the Dreamland Theatre. It is anticipated that standing room will go at a premium as every body will be anxious to hear this most interesting Character—e. ex-minister to Liberia, the first Negro to hold a diplomatic commission from the United States, lawyer and an orator of pleasing propensities. Stole Shoes Off His Feet. Dalton, Ga.—Bob Stinson, a resident of North Dalton, has received a visit form the person who stole candy from a baby and swapped a plugged quarter for change from a blind man's hat. This "real mean" man came upon Mr. Stinson asleep in a grove in the northern part of the city and stole the shoes off his feet. He awoke to find his feet chilled and himself with a violent cold. He had to walk home barefooted.

BOND OF $5,000 WAS MADE AT NOON TODAY Young Oil Man Is Said to Have Secured $6,000 Through Sale of Lease Signed by Negroes Who Didn't Own It. Robert Wilson, well known oil man, connected with the Pittsburgh Oil Company, was arrested Monday night by members of the sheriff's force on a charge of forging a deed to an oil and gas lease owned by Nathane, and Rachel Washington, two Negroes, for which lease he received $6,000. He was immediately incarcerated in the county jail where he remained overnight and until nearly noon Tuesday before friends came to his rescue and went his bond, which was at first fixed at $2,500 but later raised to $5,000. It was not necessary for the officers to make a search for young Wilson, as he went direct to the sheriff's office and gave himself up instead of undergoing the humiliation. He declares his innocence in no mild terms, saying that if the lease was a forgery, it was made so before it came into his possession. After appearing at the sheriff's office Monday afternoon for the purpose of giving himself up, he asked permission to consult the county attorney, which he did for nearly an hour, after which he was ordered to jail. Two Negro men have been in the county jail several months on a similar charge, following the confession of a Negro woman who admitted on the witness stand at the hearing, instituted sometime ago by the Washington to have the lease set aside and declared illegal, that she played the part of the Washington woman when they went to Sapulpa to sign the deed and that she received $13 for her services as a forger. One of the Negro men being held, is a brother to the Washington woman, and is said to have been one of the leaders in the forgery.

SLAVS MOVE TOWARD PRUSSIA Army Sent to Attack Kaiser Forces Near Miawa; Turks Routed. ~-Other News of The War. London.—Apart from the Russian victory over the Turks in the ‘Trans- Caucasia which is described in a dis- patch to the Russian embassy from Petrograd as “complete,” interest in the war now lies chiefly in the stub- born fight which the French and Ger- Mans are carrying on for the roads to Cernay and Muelhausen in Upper Al- sace, The battle in that region which has been raging for a week, is described in a Berlin dispatch as the most vio lent of the war, The Germans suc- ceeded in regaining one of the trenches which they had lost, but on the whole, the French reports appear to show tnat the forces of France maintain their advantage, for every inch of which they had to fight, in many cases with the bayonet. Along the rest of the western front the tide of battle continues to ebb and flow, On either side of Rheims, par- ticularly to the east of that harassed elty, according to reports, the French daily push their lines a few yards forward, while in the Argonne, where more hard fighting is going on, first the Germans and then the French re- port the capture of the other's en- trenchments, Another region where the French seemingly keep nibbling away at the German lines is in the Woevre, where the gains reported by them must have gone a long way toward rendering the German’s long occupation of St. Mihiel on the Meuse, less comfortable. ‘The Russians with all their other fronts to cover, have found another army with which to take the offensive against the German position at Mlawa, on the Kast [russian frontier, and report the capture of a village on the road to that town, It is felt in England that the re ported rout of the Turkish invaders of the Caucasus, with the defeat ot their plan to seize the Russian fort | ress ut Kars, gives the Ottoman forces | such a setback that me much dis | cussed invasion of Egypt is now vir | tually assured, At the same time the | pressure on the Russians from the eas! | has been go far relieved as to pre \clude any necessity of withdrawing | Russian forces from the Polish an¢ Galician fronts for service in the Cau casus. | Roumania More Favorable to War. The London morning newspaper correspondents in the eastern wal theater lay emphasis on the advance of the Russians in Bugowma, Austria's eastern province, where, it is said only the most feeble resistance was encountered, Bukowina is the bor derland of Roumania, and the corres | pondents speak of the excellent fee! ing which they say prevails between [the Russian outposss and the Rou manian frontier guards, Russians having astutely assigned soldiers o} the Roumanian race to patrol duty. According to the correspondents the feeling in favor of Roumanian’ entering the war has been augmentes in all sections of the country by the occupation by the Russians of Sue zawa and Kimpolung, cities full o historic significance to the Rou | manians, RULES TO GOVERN DEED TAX Stamps Must be Affixed on Basis of Valuation of Property. Washington.—Regulation to govern the placing of stamps on conveyances of real property in payment of the war tax were issued by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Usborne. The tax is 50 cents on deeds that amount to over $100 and less than $500, with 60 cents additional for each $500 or frac- tion over $500. The regulations make it plain that where the consideration is nominal, or one dollar, the tax must be com- puted upon the actual valuation of the property conveyed, and the execu: tor becomes Hable for the penalty if the proper amount in stamps is not affixed. The commissioner announced that while a register of deeds is not ex: pected to Investigate, where he sus- pects violation of the law, he should in such cases notify the proper rev- enue collector.

NO CHANCE FOR THE JINGOES RADICAL DEFENSE PROGRAM 1S DROPPED. Department Heads Think Revenues Permit Only Minor Improvements. Washington, — Chief results of a conference between Secretaries Dan: lels and Garrison and congress lead: ers heading the military and naval ap propriations committees were a gen eral conclusion that the government revenues during the coming year would not bear any extensive addi tions to the military establishment but that next year, while congress con- siders means of raising new revenue in place of the special stamp taxes, when they expire by Imitation, the subject of appropriations for national defense would be considered, ‘The prospect of a prolonged Buro- pean war will be considered in con- nection with the plans for raising revenue. What has been happening in Europe during the past five months, Secre- tary Garrison said, had caused an awakening in this country; making It likely that the American people would sanction action outside of the routine toward improving the country's de- -fenses, ‘There was no discussion of a chango of policy, Mr. Garrison said, because none was necessary. The object of the meeting was to bring out the views of the different branches of the gov: ernment, not on the subject of getting an {deal system of public defense, but on what was the best thing to be done at present with the means at hand or in prospect. It developed that Representative Underwood presented to the confer ence an outline of the revenues and expenditures proposed for the next fiscal year, showing that economies must be enforced in order to prevent a large deficit. This fact, as well as the difficulty of forcing any measures likely to stir up controversy through the present short session of congress was pointed to as sufficient reason for declining to undertake any considera. ble changes in the military situation at this time, STATE LESISLATURES CONVENE Many States Hold Inaugural Ceremon- jes For New Officials, Boston, —- The legislatures of the New England states—all except Rhode Island—convened last Wednesday for their annual, or biennial, sessions.

SOISSONS NOW MAIN OBJECTIVE Threatened With Fate of Rhelms; Invasion of Bukowina by Rus sians Is Proceeding Slowly, London.—Only a change in the weather or the entrance into the war of Roumania or Italy or both, is likely to bring about any marked change in the military situation in Europe for some time to come. What turn the war will take none can tell but the belief is growing in those countries allie’ against Ger. many, Austria and Turkey, that Rou- mania with her well trained army of not less than 400,000 men, will throw herself into the conflict at an early date. This in effect, would link Rouw- mania with the excellent Russian force now forcing its way through Bukowina, Taking into consideration the Ser- vians and Montenegrins, this would form a line menacing Austria-Hungary ee “' Gont know when it will end, @ % but I do know when it will be # gin and that Is in the month of # May. + * * PEEEEEREEEEEEE EEE along the entire southeastern frontier from Russia to the Adriatic.

God's Cal! to Gideon. 1, Gideon in Prayer, vv. 11-12. That the “angel of Jehovah’ was a mant- festation of Jehovah is clear from a careful reading of verse 13. There the first use of the word “lord” is not cap italized, whereas ine second in stance it is car'talized ‘This angel was a foreshadowing o the incarna ‘ion in Jesus of Nazareth. He is clearly identified with Jehovah (see Judges 2:1, 2; Gen. 16:10, 13, R. V.). It wat thus that Abraham saw “my day* (John 8:56). “The angel of the Lord” at no time appears after Jesus camo as the revised text shows. The no madic Midianites brought ruin to Is rael as the bitter fruit of its sin. Ther ‘was uttered the cry for relief (Ps. 130) ‘The father of Gideon is passed by, for he was a worshiper of Baal (v. 25) ‘They who bear the vessels of the Lord those through whom -he works, must have clean hands. God's call to Gid eon came to him (1) while he wat alone, as he was threshing wheat ir the hiding place of a winepress, for he dare not thresh in the customary open place of a threshing floor. ‘hit call came to him (2) as he was faith fully performing his duty, that one nearest his hand (v. 11, Ex. 3:1, 2; Luke 2:8, 9). HN, Gideon In Doubt, vv. 13-16. Gid eon’s thought must have been one o} ‘amazement as well as of doubt. Hit question, “Why then is all this befal len us?” was a most natural one an¢ one that men even now are asking when they are in great trouble, Suf fering and misery are not all to be laid at God’s door, though he permit it, but chiefly at the door of sin (Ps, 77:7-9; Isa. 49:1, 2). It 1s possible that Gid eon had not yet recognized his heav: enly visitor (cf. v. 21). The name Gideon means “Hewer” or “Treefeller” and indicates, as all eastern names do, something of his personal character or appearance. Hence the pigdidganos ot v, 14, The Lord in the person of the angel looked tpon him and said, seeing all of his natural qualifications, but with the emphasis upon the “I"— “Go in thy might . . . have nt I sent thee?” Gideon Was the Agent. Il, Gideon Assured, vv. 33-35, Gid eon’s first act on being assured of this heavenly communication was one of worship (vv, 17-26). His second one was to take ten picked men and over. throw the altar to Baal, thereby dem- onstrating the impotence of Baal and the futility of calling upon him for deliverance. The tribesmen at once light upon him as having performed this act and demand his death from Joash, his father, who scems to have been a sort of caretaker of the idol (v, 25). These same men later become Gideon's enthusiastic followers (vv. 84, 35). Gideon thus translated theory into action and gained confidence. It was one man against the community, and to further rebuke them he erected an altar to Jehovah (v. 28). IV. Gideon's Caution, vv, 36-40. Spur geon said that he never entered his pulpit to preach without trembling, and Gideon would have been more than human, even after assembling his army, hag he been absolutely free from doubts. We should never place an “it” before any of God's promises, and Jesus reprimanded those of his day when they demanded a “sign” (won- der), but Gideon proved his heroism in part by his caution. Gideon was afraid of himself but was sure of God, Once assured of God's leading he was willing to lead 800 men against the overwhelming force of his enemies.

MADE A NEW CLASSIFICATION Montana Waiter Announced Lobsters as the Only “Game” on the Menu That Night, ‘The man from Montana was eating lobster Newburg the other night in a Broadway restaurant. “Lobsters are common enough to you people here on the seacoast,” he remarked to a New Yorker, “but when one gets well inland the fresh lobster becomes a bit more of a novelty, Not that we don't get plenty of lobsters in Montana, but, naturally, there they're not as numerous as down here, and they are regarfed as more of a luxury. “This fact was brought to my atten: tion one night recently in a hotel in Butte. I got in on a rather late train and went into a restaurant about nine o'clock in the evening for dinner. 1 happened to feel like eating a grouse or a duck or something of that sor«. I glanced at the menu and failed to see any birds. “‘Haven't you got any grouse or other game?’ I asked the waiter. “We ain't got any grouse,’ was the reply. ‘The only game we have is lob aters.’”” 15 GHILD GROSS, _ Children love this “fruit laxative,” and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result {s they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don’t eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of “California Syrup of Figs,” and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the sys- tem, and you have a well child again. Millions of mothers give “California Syrup of Figs” because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it nev- er fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels, Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,” which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle.

He can only say, “I am moro pros- perous than I ever expected to be.” And yet if a farmer expects to suc- ceed on land that he has been forced to pay $50 to $100 an acre for he ought to feel assured of attaining prosperity when he finds the richest prairie soil at his disposal absolutely free. If he has a little capital, let him invest it all in live stock and farm implements —he will find himself ten years ahead of the game. Some day such a chance will not be found anywhere on the face of the globe, But now the same opportunities await you as awaited the pioneer and not one hundredth part of the difficulties he encountered and overcame, Success in Canada is made up of two things, natural re- sources and human labor. Canada has the one and you the other. A postal card stands between you and the Canadian government agent. If you don’t hold these two forces and enjoy the fruits of the result it is your own fault.

Shortly after he met the panhandler on Sixth avenue inviting a couple of bums in to have a drink. “I thought you were going to New Rochelle to see your sick wife?” questioned the ‘actor. “I guess I made a mistake replied the young man. “No you didn't,” said Mr. Fairbanks, “You're going to New Rochelle.” He took the man in a nearby cafe and spying an athletic young fellow hired him to take the panhandler to the Grand Central depot ‘and put him on a train for New ‘Rochelle, using the 35 cents to buy ‘the ticket. “And knock his block off ‘if he doesn’t go," were Mr. Pairbank's parting instructions to the athletic ~one.—New York Times. | Another Luxury. | Payton—We hear a great deal lately “about the high cost of living, and lov- ing. | Parker—Yes, and the high cost of loafing ought not to be sneezed at, oither.—Life.

The part the American Negro has performed and his invaluable and unrequited contribution to the material wealth and development of the American republic, as well as the continent itself, seldom, if ever, receives even passing notice. For more than 250 years he toiled, felling the forest, redeeming the lagoone, building the towns and cities, without reward nor hope of reward. Indeed, he was cruelly driven like a beast of burden. This thought is induced in view of the sordid, not to say heartless ingratitude of the men and their descendants who wrenched from him his liberty. Following the long debate in the United States Senate with its manifold provisos, impossible concessions, came civil war. In that strife the tranquility, self-praise and native faithfulness of the American Negro was demonstrated without parallel in history. There was not a single day nor hour during the war for the life of the union in which the American Negro could not have ended that war in a single nights massacre. The success of the confederacy meant the perpetuation of that most inhuman of all human slavery. The confederate soldier was compelled to entrust the safety and protection of his women, his aged and helpless ones, to his Negro slaves. Indeed the confederate army was literally dependent for the provender which sustained both man and beast, at the front upon the unestrained inclinations of the slaves left at home on the plantations. How strange! Indeed the history of those dark and bloody days does not record a single instance of the vile onslaught of a single Negro upon the safety and virtue of a single white woman of the former confederate states. Again, how unexcelled, how unequaled and unparalelled the factlessness and ingratitude of any exconfederate who stands forth today in the open incited by unreasoning race prejudices in false denunciation, or allows the same to be done in his presence, of the American Negro. THE NEGRO AND THE RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD. More than fifty years ago at the Appomatoz Court House in the commonwealth of old Va. General Robt. E. Lee the greatest soldier of the corfederacy, delivered his sword in military surrender to U. S. Grant, his only military conqueror of the whole 19th century. The modesty of General Grant was emphasized in that instance by the military dignity of General Lee. The confederate states had been devastated by war. The black man and the white man had parted company at the plantation homestead. The one to take up arms at the front for forcible arbitretnment of his construction of "the rights of the states" as provided by the fathers of the republic, the other to care for and protect as best he might, to cultivate, harvest and garner the necessary foodstuff for both laymen at home and soldiers at the front. Until the proclamation of the immortal Lincoln reached the Negro over the heads of both armies he remained faithfully upon the plantation keeping his side of the unwritten compact. In leaving his home for the union lines the Negro enacted no deeds of violence notwithstanding Lincoln's proclamation had made him the enthuisastic ally of the union forces. His enlistment in the union army brought him face to face with his former master on the line of battle. The historic instance at Appomatox left the Negro homeless and shelterless in a wilderness of despair, seized in ownership of no single foot of land. "No cottage did he possess, no foot of land in all that wilderness" He had only earths green carpet for his bed and heavens cerulean sky for his roof. Therefore, former master and former slave both went intentively back again in these changed conditions to their plantation homes. It has been said of those days of reconstruction tripping immediately upon the heels of the civil war that the general government at Washington had for purposes of tantalization and moral and political torture placed the government of those states into the hands of former slaves adventures, the latter known in common parlance as "carpet baggers." This accusation is only in part if at all true. It is to be remembered that the government was almost altogether without loyal friends and supporters in that section. The Negro was then as in every other instance where he has been trusted in matters of private or public policy, almost the only loyal friend at the South upon whom the government of the United States could rely. It must be remember also that the undisputed valour of the confederate soldiers had been whipped into submission at Appomatax, but had never been conquored into surrender or abandonment of their opinion. There stands today in the respective states where Negroes at that time had political control, much valuable legislation, many valuable laws enacted by them which even their most diligent political foes have seen no just cause to repeal. For example the Statutes in the state of Mississippi upon finance, education and many features of taxation enacted by the reconstruction legislature, of which her Negro son, Hon. John R. Lynch, the peer of any Mississippi, however eminent, was the speaker, remain unrepealed until this present day. And what is true of the statutes of the state of Mississippi equally true of several of the respective con- SURE RESULTS FOR HOME AND FOREIGN ADVERTISERS er year.

LAMB QUIT TAKING SNUFP Threw Box Away on Hampstead Health, but Was Searching for It Next Morning. Hamstead Heath may yet contain a precious relic of Charles Lamb. "One summer's evening," writes Hone, "I was walking on Hampstead Heath with Charles Lamb, and we had talked ourselves into a philosophic contempt of our slavery to the habit of snuff taking, and with the firm resolution of never again taking a single pinch we threw our snuffboxes away from the hill on which we stood, far among the furze and brambles below, and went home in triumph; I began to be very miserable, was wretched all night; in the morning I was walking on the same hill; I saw Charles Lamb below, searching among the bushes; he looked up laughing, and saying, "What, you are come to look for your snuffbox too!" "Oh, no, said I, taking a pinch out of a paper in my waistcoat pocket, I went for a halfpenny worth to the first shop that was open."—London Chronicle.

In 1758 John Warl, an English theatrical manager, opposed a match between his daughter and a member of his company, not wishing her to marry an actor. He finally gave consent, however, consoling himself with the thought that the young man was not much of an actor. In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight reached maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The oldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Siddons. The oldest son, John Phillip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble." The eleventh child, Charles, was a renowned comedian, while his daughter, Fanny Kemble, was probably the best known to the public of all the family. Her sister, Adelalde, attained considerable popularity as a public singer. Her son married the daughter of General Grant. Copyright, 1911, by Joseph B. Bowls 201 E. 2nd.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—Protsts against the senate amendment to the immigration bill providing for the exclusion of members of the African race from the United States have begun pouring in at the White House. The President will not indicate his position until the house acts on the provision and the bill is finally sent to him for his signature or veto. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The present war will have a serious effect on more than ten million white and Negro farmers who grow cotton in the South, according to a statement made by Dr. Booker T. Washington, the noted Negro educator, when seen at the capital on his arrival from Tuskegee, Ala. Doctor Washington said the depressed price of cotton would hamper the farmers in paying their debts, purchasing foods and other necessities and the raising of the next crop. He was much pleased, he said, with the remarks of President Wilson in outlining his attitude toward the Negro when he told the University Commission on Southern Race Questions that "our object is to know the needs of the Negro and sympathetically help him in every way that is possible for his good and our good." "Every thoughtful man North and South," he went on, "will agree with the president. I think his statement represents a growing liberal sentiment on the part of an increasingly large group of Southern white people." In regard to his suggestion made recently that each Negro family raise one or more additional pigs this year, to help bring about more prosperity in the South, Doctor Washington said: "I have been surprised to note how well this suggestion has been received and how many are following it. One church pastor in Uniontown, Ala. went so far as to organize a pig club among the members of his congregation. "Now I want to make one other suggestion that in my opinion is of still greater and more practical importance. For months the great cry all through the South has been to stop the growing of cotton or to reduce the acreage. Chambers of commerce, business leagues, state legislatures and other bodies have adopted resolutions without end urging that we in the South stop growing so much cotton. To stop growing cotton is very easy; in fact it is always easy to stop work. But merely to stop growing cotton is a mere negative proposition and will not I fear, leave the South much better off than at present. If we destroy or cripple a great industry we should be very sure to have one or a number equally good to put in its place." Miss Belva Lockwood made a. address before a mass meeting of colored people at the Cosmopolitan Baptist church at Washington. The meeting was held in celebration of the anniversary of the adoption of the thirteenth amendment to the constitution. Rev. Simon P. Drew presided. Representative Willis of Ohio, governor-elect of that state, and Representative Folconer of Washington, spoke. Others who took part were Dr. Harvey Falconer of Washington, spoke. Othist church; Miss Hattie P. Ivy of Howard university; Prof. James Wright, Prof. John T. Layton and Rev. F. W. Dixon of Berean Baptist church. Two thousand Negroes assembled in the Bethel A. M. E. church at Chicago to hear the fifth annual essay contest under the auspices of the Bethel Literary club on "The Best Solution of the Race Problem in the United States." Those who read essays on this subject were Frank W. Henry, Carey B. Lewis, Joseph Marshall, Leonora T. Curtice, and Irene McCoy Ganes. The prize winners were Lewis and Miss Ganes. Each was presented with a diamond ring. The Delaware state board of education has received a communication from the Negro teachers in the district south of Wilmington in which it is asserted that the condition in the Negro schools is deplorable. It is alleged that teachers are employed who are not properly qualified; that the clerks in many districts disburse the taxes without accounting to the district; that in many instances the state dividend is not sufficient to pay the teachers' salaries and in such cases it is necessary for the teacher to give entertainments to raise the necessary amounts, all of which tends to be detrimental to the schools. They suggest that conditions would be improved if county commissions or superintendents are empowered to fix the tax for double the amount of duplicates; the provision of a state supervisor of Negro schools; enforcement of laws with reference to Negro commissioners, increased salaries for teachers and an eight-month instead of a seven-month school year. Wife suing because husband treated her as a cook apparently doesn't know when she is being well treated. The American Negro and the American Indian have really been succeeding in farming, in teaching, and in business during the recent years, and Hampton, therefore, has a valid public appeal to make, not only for its continued support by rich and generous men and women, but also for the spread of its educational aims, methods, and ideals, which have received the hearty indorsement of leading American and foreign educators. Hampton's lateral influence is publicly recognized by men like Dr. Wallace Butterick, and Dr. Wickliffe Rose. Distinguished foreigners, including Sir Horace Plunkett and Alexander Fraser, declare that Hampton is an important factor in the solution of perplexing problems of race adjustment through education. These tributes to Hampton need no words of explanation. "If a man is looking for a sure way to benefit the Negro race or the Indian race in the United States, let him send money to Hampton institute, making no restrictions concerning its use. He will surely get a large return in benefi- cence."—Charles W. Eliot. "Hampton is perhaps doing more for the future peace and prosperity of this country than any other institution in it."—Robert C. Ogden. "I have always loved Hampton and I love her more and more because she is not only giving the Negro knowledge, but is seeing and reaching the needs of the race as no other institution is doing."—Booker T. Washington, who is Hampton's most distinguished graduate. "Hampton stands for dignity of labor and for the self-respect which is justified in any man when he has learned to do one thing well."—Francis G. Peabody. "There is nothing that offers such an opportunity for the wealthy man of this country as the cause of Negro industrial education in the South. Hampton is the solution of the Negro problem."—William H. Taft. A three days session of the board of directors of the Negro Baptist General State convention was held at Waco, Tex. The chief work of the board was the formulation of plans for the missionary and educational work of the Negroes during the coming year. The work of the convention is done through eight boards, each of which is under the supervision of a financial secretary. Two hundred and sixteen thousand dollars has been raised during the past year for the conventional work. The convention is supporting three educational institutions in Texas for the training of the Negro youth — Boyd's Institute at Oakwood, Central Texas college at Waco and Guadalupe college near Seguin. Another big institution fostered by the Negroes is St. John's Institute and Orphans' home near Austin. It is said to be the largest Negro orphanage in the world. The plant is valued at $200,000. The following secretaries were present: Church extension, W. R. Toliver, Calvert; educational, W. H. Fuller, Austin; ministers relief, S. T. Floyd, Sherman; endowment, A. W. Early, Palestine; state missions, J. G. Gathings, Goliad; foreign mission, James Kelly, Waco; publication, M. M. Haynes, Austin; orphans home, A. Moore, Austin. Shanghai recently saw the opening of the first street-car system financed, constructed and operated solely by Chinese. Kindergartens for colored children are being adopted in different parts of the South as one of the agencies for improving social conditions that have troubled two generations. Richmond, Va., has lately opened an experimental kindergarten which has already created such interest among Negro parents and the school authorities that it is expected it will soon be made permanent. The Richmond kindergarten was opened by the National Kindergarten association of New York at the request of Richmond people who knew of the success of the demonstration given among colored children at Chattanooga, Tenn., where the local association assumed the care and support of the school. Kindergartens for white children in the South have also been started by the association and later carried on locally. Sabullite is the name of a new high power explosive, tests of which have lately been made in British Columbia. It can be handled without danger, and is cheaper than dynamite, which has only about one-third of its destructive effect. It is used for blasting purposes only. TULSA.

Soon after the war broke out, they began to do an enormous business with relatives of soldiers in the field, who wanted to know how things were going with them. Visits to the fortune tellers often had tragic consequences, as many of the callers were in a high state of nervous tension. The uncertainty of relatives regarding their men folk at the front has been aggravated by an alleged muddle of the field postal organization, which is being severely criticized by the newspapers. Women as Inventors. It is probably not generally known that a woman invented the paper bag. Away back in 1870 a patent was granted Miss Margaret Knight, who died only a short time ago at the age of seventy-five. There are said to be 310 woman owners of incorporated establishments in St. Louis, who, besides managing the business, can do the actual manual labor required.

Within ten minutes after an application of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks' use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp.

WILLIAMS INAUGURATED NEW ADMINISTRATION OFFI CIALLY USHERED IN WITH ELABORATE CEREMONIES OTHER OFFICIALS ARE SWORN IN Overholser Theatre Is Filled When Joint Session of the Two Houses Is Held—Reception and Ball Close the Day Oklahoma City.—Lee Cruce is a private citizen of Ardmore; Robert L. Williams is the third governor of the state of Oklahoma. In the presence of the members of the legislature and a crowd of prominent Oklahomaans which filled the Overholser Theatre to overflowing, he took the oath which makes him the Governor of Oklahoma and the Oklahomaans for the next four years. An entire day and night were taken up with the several official and social sessions that together constituted the inauguration. The official ceremony began at eleven o'clock Monday morning, when the two houses were called to order in the Overholser Theatre by Senator Mitchell, president pro tem of the Senate. At noon Supreme Justice Kane administered to Governor Williams the oath of office and his administration began. He addressed the audience, outlining the policies of his administration and what is hoped to be accomplished. Immediately following, the other elective officials took the oath of office. In the afternoon, friends and admirers of the new governor, to the number of several thousands, attended the public reception in the parlors of the Lee-Huckins Hotel. The inaugural ball, which likewise was attended by all who could get into the hall, was held Monday evening in the Auditorium. Governor Williams led the grand march, accompanied by Miss Los Jarrell of Durant. In his address after taking the oath of office, Governor Williams said: Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Ladies, Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens. Called by my fellow citizens to undertake the duties of the office of the Chief Magistrate of this State, I avail myself of this opportunity to express to those assembled my grateful thanks for the parental care and support I have been fested. Realizing the proportions of the task before me I approach it with apprehension and in humility. However, I find comfort and cheer in the presence of those representatives of the other co-ordination bodies. I shall rely in all difficulties upon the resources of wisdom that are to flow from those charged with the sovereign functions of legislation. I shall, also, look with confidence upon the other co-ordination bodies to wisely and lustfully interpret our laws. In the last commonwealth carved out of the Louisiana Purchase through the evolution of government, we draw inspiration from the life and character of that great man under whose administration that magnificent domain was acquired. His genius that great party was founded, under whose organization we today are in control of every branch of this state government. In the conduct of this great office it is fit that I should loo', to his life and achievements, as later illustrated in Andrew Johnson, Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson, as a guide and model. Oklahoma's Wonderful Development. In this State, favored by nature with climate and soil and mineral wealth, the people have gathered not only from every State in the Union but also from practically every nation by its own means in accordance with the spirit of our citizenship; progressive not only in business but also in government. Such development has been made under difficulties. We have done more in less than a decade than it has taken a century to accomplish in older states. This could not be done without cost and this cost may be made by our government. Such development being rapid it could not reasonably be made without some abuses. Hence, naturally the occasion for retrenchment, economy and efficiency. This condition, however, is not confined to Oklahoma. That is the demand now made not only in every State government, but in every other state. The fact is the entire world has been living too fast. It has been too extravagant, and now we must put on the brakes. But in doing this we must not still the hand of progress. We are to devote our energies to a constructive administration so as to install business methods and enhance the best government for the least reasonable cost. Hence our task is an arduous one. To accomplish this our purpose must be sturdy and directed with wisdom. The public services must be dominated and filled by capable men imbued with a spirit of patriotism. This must be done by the extent that this imposition is not installed to exploit the people, or its revenues, to but bring happiness, peace and prosperity. The Duty of a Political Party. The idea that parties and government exist as an agency of the spoilism is utterly at variance with the principles of good government. I believe in party government. Through the centuries of popular government political parties have been the agents of government, not moving measures that were essential for the promotion and preservation of human liberty and human happiness. Political parties when kept within their proper bounds are the agencies by which voters, believing in certain principles of government, putting those principles into practical governmental force, are bound together. By this means principles and measures are the controlling force and not individual exploitation or ambition. Hence, it is essential that a party's real friends be on guard in administrating government. Not only should the friends of a political party be put on guard, but wherever practical. the party entrusted with the administration of government should be associated with him; for there is a human equation between the government for the betterment of human life associated in the furtherance of the administration of government feel more inclined to make personal sacrifices for success than to be in imbaud with its ideals and policies. The Best Public Servants. Those men who, in serving the public, prefer to give more to the state than they receive from it by way of material consideration are the ones that appeal most to me. We are not moved to enlist in our country's services in time of war for material consideration. In this age of progressive civilization the same great is made to us. We are the essential peace. The uplift that is essential every walk of life appeals to us. Hence the necessity for self sacrifices. Then, too, when we make a sacrifice for a cause we are doubly fortified and our position proportionately emphasized. I hope to make myself clear. In this administration, we consent there shall not be a easy place for us to not even a sinecure, but the road shall be rugged with work and devotion to duty. It is right that a man should love his friends. Every true man will, but I have my ideals, and I think those who have fought with me in the political contests in this state and who know me intimately have all these years and that I was moved to seek the office of Chief Magistrate of this State with the purpose of exemplifying these ideals in public service. In the exercise of this great power we must look first in all things to the public welfare. Exery real friend of mine will expect Asserts His Party Loyalty. For Law Enforcement. The integrity of the administration of government, the fixedness of law and the certainty of its enforcement must be made clear and characterized of this administration. The direction of life, liberty and property and the preservation of the right to the pursuit of happiness with an equal opportunity to every is, also, to be one of our chief objects. We are fresh from the people upon a platform whose declarations are hardly cold. These declarations must be carried out in good faith. We declared that every unnecessary board, officer or employee must be abolished and dispensed with' and that the public servants remaining must earn their salaries by actual service. Such words are not to be used merely to conjure or to get votes, and then, on account of having some other reason, must be gotten or not seriously regarded when we get into office. The time has come when the people must have substantial economy. Show and pretense must be abhorred. We must have the substance. We must be sure that we do not make them more expensive than necessary and at the same time add no pounds of unnecessary expense in other ways at the exation of the public depoiler. This administration will retain a place in the history of this state not in accordance with the way it begins but as it ends. We must be sure that at all times we actually practice what we preach. Whilst our people are going through this period of business depression it is, also, necessary that every department of state, and that means Executive, Legislative and Judicial attribute their quota of the necessary retrenchment to meet the exceptional conditions now existing. No Place for the Machine. Holding office is to be a serious thing in this administration. The friend I love the most is the one who is willing to make a sacrifice for the public good and the one I will abhor the most is he who wants to hold on to a securcure or an office building or a board of a reasonably plausible institution with, when we pledge the people of this state that we would take precautionary measures so as to make machine politics an impossibility in this state, so far as I am concerned, (and I am sure, too, that the other state officers, as well as the state legislature, are aware of these platform declarations, occupy the same position), I take it to mean just what it says, and that during this administration we will carry this pledge into effect. We go into office in control or all branches of this government under the same authority, and the state famed as a place where political pledges, even in questions of retrenchment, efficiency and economy, and the rendering of political machine domination an impossibility, having been faithfully kept. By no innuendo is it to be the reason that the progressiveness of the past. We stand for it. What we are to do is to inaugurate such a system of effective business administration as will reduce the burdens upon the people who sustain government and assure the continuance of progressive principles. We will hold fast to the progressiveness of our people and keep reasonable progressive evolution by doing right. We have a right to expect the faithful and the friendly and the kindly cooperation of not only every democratic official but every member of the Democratic Party and we invoke such cooperation on the part of the members of every party, and every citizen of this State, with such a purpose and relying upon the help of HL to work for us, we commit ourselves to the work before us.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't Acting Right or If Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers You. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink.—Adv. Sure. "Do you believe that there is a higher power?"

Other wise the instrument will be mailed back to you and a statement showing the proper fee which will delay the filing, from twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

Winnemucca, Nev.—A compromise has been brought about, the terms of which are not made public, between John G. Taylor and his son, John G. Taylor Jr., in the $123,000 suit over a claim to money derived from the sale of 11,000 sheep. The suit was filed in the district court of Elko, but the compromise was brought about when friends of the father and son arranged a secret meeting here. The younger Taylor alleged in his suit that the money to be derived from the sale of a band of 11,000 sheep, minus the cost of caring for them, had been promised him when he reached his majority, by his father. He is now of age, but up to the time of the filling of the suit no offer to settle had been made by his father. The sheep were sold for $143,000, and he figured the cost of their upkeep at $20,000, leaving $123,000 as the sum due him.
