S. Supreme Court Kills Grandfather Clause NEGROES WILL AGAIN VOTE IN OKLAHOMA. U. S. Su NEGROES WILL IN OKL THE DECISION of the U. S. supreme court declaring void the grandfather clause of Oklahoma comes as a relief not only to the Negroes of Oklahoma, but practically all of the southern states. The law was wrong both in spirit and in application, and a blemish on the State, and it es extremely gratifying to all lovers of justice and fair play that the highest court in the land has stamped it out. It was petty politics, that created this law, and corrupt politics in our courts has sustained it. By this decision the supreme court of the United States has declared that black men have every right under the Constitution that white men have. No one who has studied the grandfather clause has ever doubted that it would be knocked out when it reached the Supreme Court because it was a flagrant injustice. And yet it can not be denied that thousands of Republicans voted for it. This is a fact that should be remembered by Colored men in the future. The Colored people of Oklahoma, forunately, are more diversified in politics than in any other southern state and any act of disfranchisement would be as harmful to the democrats as it would to republicans. If this fact is realized by the dominant parties the Colored voters need have no fear of being disfranchised. Had we been more divided politically there would have been no grandfather clause. If we were all democrats the republicans would seek to keep us from the polls, just as the democrats in the south have tried to, because we have always been traditional republicans as a whole. Some Colored men believe, or pretend to believe, that a bad republican is better than a good democrat. This is false reasoning, and while many white men in both parties are disciples of this doctrine, favoring their respective parties it should be discouraged among Colored voters. A democrat who will do justice to all the people alike and honestly discharge his duties is a much better citizen than a republican who has not these qualities and vice versa. We as a race need to use the ballot fox our best interest, which instead of being wrapped up in one party is found in all of them. Let the Colored voters stand for MEN and principles, above parties and politicians, and we need not fear the future. WORLD TAKES COMMENDABLE STAND ON SUPREME COURT DECISION. Negroes Will Vote. Negroes will vote at all elections in Oklahoma from this time on. So declares the Supreme Court of the United States in an opinion declaring the celebrated "grandfather clause" unconstitutional. For seven years in Oklahoma the negro has been permitted to pay taxes, to engage in any sort of business and pay his license, but he could not vote. When it came to a voice in the selection of the men who were to levy the taxes and make the laws which govern him he was as mute as a tombstone. But now the shackles have been stricken from his feet and he will stand in the booth and mark his ticket like any other citizen. Had there been any other justification or excuse for the "grandfather clause" except partisan supremacy, the continuation and perpetuation of the tyrannous and despotic Democratic machine, people might have been inclined to take a different view of the matter. Had the movement been in the direction of a more intelligent and a more competent electorate, a more elevated and capable citizenship, we might have been disposed to regret the interpretation which the highest court of the land places on the statute. But it is a matter of common knowledge that the statute was designed and intended to "stop the damned niggers from voting," whether it be an intelligent or an ignorant negro. At the same time the ignorant white man walked proudly into the voting booth and deposited his ballot wet like the rest of us. Just like the vote, purification of the ballot, purifica- The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma tion of politics, if you choose to have it so, will never come through statutes based on race prejudice and blind partisanship. Whenever the people really desire better politics, which means better government, they will hedge the ballot about with educational restrictions. Just because a men's skin is black is no more reason for his being barred from the rights of citizenship than it would be if his skin was green. We have often wondered what would happen if the negroes should ever control a state legislature and pass a statute practically disfranchising the white folks? Restoration of the rights of citizenship to the negro is going to cause a flutter in the Democratic dovecote. The boys have been having such an easy time of it all the time, sitting at the first table and eating all the pie, that it will be severe punishment for some of them to get back to the loaves and fishes. Even with the negro vote eliminated the machine has been having pretty hard sledding the last two elections. Now it is going to have to get a hump on itself if it pulls through next a year. Who is honest, whether he is a Democrat, Republican or a Socialist, ought to be devoutly and sincerely thankful—Tulsa World. Indian Postmaster Has Special Rules For Colored People Editor Refused to Comply with Humiliating Rules and Defies Postmaster. Muskogee, Okla., June 19, 1915.—(Special to the Star.)—A somewhat exciting scene was caused in the post office here yesterday when postmaster Brewer, a mixed-blood Indian insulted editor A. J. Smitherman of the Tulsa Star by demanding him to remove his hat when the editor went into the postmasters' private office on business pertaining to his paper. The editor refused to remove his hat or to leave the office when asked out by the postmaster, and defied the postmaster. Editor Smitherman claims that the postoffice authorities here notified him through the mails that several Muskogee subscribers to his paper had refused the Star. When he came here, however, he learned that this was untrue according to statements from subscribers and the carrier and he went to see the postmaster concerning this. Since Brewer took charge of the post office here he has inaugurated a rule requiring Colored men to remove their hats when in his royal presence and it is said several complaints have been made against him to the post office department. Editor Smitherman will report the matter to the postal department through his congressman. It is thought by some here that a certain carrier not on that beat sent the notification cards in the hope of decreasing the Star's circulation. Dr Wilson to Bring Suit Against R. I.

The ticket agent flatly refused to sell him a ticket, saying that only white people could buy them. The supreme court of the United States recently held that all railroads or Pullman companies doing business in Oklahoma must furnish equal accommodations for Colored passengers and Dr. Wilson intends to push this case to the limit, to compel such companies to comply with the law. Lawyer Harrison said Tuesday when seen here that it was a good case, and that he would soon be ready to start the fight. STRADFORD CONTINUES JOURNEY THROUGH EAST.

Writes Interestingly On His Observations Enroute Writes Interestingly On His Observations Enroute Editor of the Star: Dear Sir:—Bidding adieu to the metropolis of our country, a city beyond all expectation the most grand, magnificent, attractive and wonderful to my mind, at 12:30 a. m., I arrived in Washington, D. C., at 8:45 the following morning. A city famed for its grandur, its magnificent structures and the beauty of its streets. As soon as I arrived I was conceived to Howard University where I found my friend Roy Tibb, professor of the piano department of music in the conservatory. He was delighted to see me and proceeded to make my stay in Washington a pleasant one. After breakfast we visited all the buildings, beginning with the main building on the south of the grounds and on the east of the girls dormitory, and several other buildings overlooking the city, the waterworks and reservoir on the north, and the boys' dormitory on the west, the library building, the law department, down in the city, and also the hospital and medical department, which I believe is the best equipped and most efficient institution for colored people in the United States. From my observation I believe that the medical department of Howard University is the best in the United States for Colored men to attend. If I had a dozen boys to educate in medicine every one of them would be educated in Howard U. 1st, because there is no privilege denied the student. They have the advantages of all the clinics, they have no trouble in getting patients to attend. Space will not allow me to say more along this line. Upon the whole Howard is the best equipped institution of learning for our people in this country. After completing our sightseeing of Howard we visited the national capital. Had I the power of language to express the beauty, the sublimity and grandur of that building and its arts I could make you laugh, I could make you weep. When the spot was pointed out to me where nearly one hundred years ago John Q. Adams dropped dead in the House of Representatives I stood on that spot and felt that I was standing on the line which divided time and eternity, the mortal from immortality. Then on turning around and viewing the statutes of all the great men of our country, who have come upon the stage of action played their parts in the drama of life and have taken their places in the silent halls of death. That old Bible expression presents itself most forcible to me, "there's no Jew, no Greek, no bond, no free, but all one in Christ Jesus." Other places of interest visited were Congressional library, Senate hall, house of representatives, White House and other places of )' erect. I find in Washington that our people are doing well, more of them are employed in public work than in other cities which I have visited up to this time. My next stop was Versailles, Ky. I found the conditions there very bad relative to our people. It would take up too much space in your paper to give you a complete history of the state of affairs as they exist. I will attempt to give you a short synopsis and some future day I may write more fully on the subject. Our people in Versailles are a class of moral cowards. The public school system is used to make them feel that they are not as good as white folks; the officers of the law, for no offense, beat, maime and often kill, and any white man can do the same without being punished. Prior to the time tobacco become the leading staple of Ky, we had a great many prosperous farmers, who rented farms or in other words were the principal farmers of the state. That condition has changed since tobacco has become the leading product. Now the poor white Subscription $1.00 Per Year man is the tobacco grower, they have gained possession of all the farms, crowded our people into the cities and towns, and those of them who refuse to go are forced by the "possum hunters" or night riders, who ko to their homes by night, beat, insult and kill them, until it is a hard matter to find a Colored farmer on a farm in Ky. They are forced into the city and and towns and are paid for their labor, females from 75e to $1.50 per week and in rare cases $2.00 per week. The males from $3.00 to $5.00 per week. Thus you see from the above that instead of elevating the tendency is degeneration. I can see no hope for our people under the circumstances. The white people here have no objection to a black man aspiring to be king of his people, but if he demands those rights which are guaranteed to him by the constitution, the rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, he is called a bad nigger, and the only salvation for him is to move to a safer clime. The next place of interest I visited was Lexington, Ky. I have seen the beautiful landscapes of the Blue Ridge mountains of Va., the mountains, valleys and plains of the Allegheny, the snow capped peaks of the Rockies in Washington; I have looked with wonder upon those peaks towering above the clouds, but I have never in all my travels seen such a beautiful country as the blue grass region of Kentucky. I consider that region the garden spot of the United States. Going from Versailles to Lexington, you will see the most beautiful country—pleasing hills and valleys, green fields, wooded lawns, palatal homes and brooks and creeks meandering down the hills. Within a few miles of Lexington you can see the statute of Henry Clay, towering high above the surrounding country under which lay the greatest compromise the world has ever seen. Arriving in Lexington we find conditions a little better for our people. It is quite cosmopolitan. We have a representative class of citizens, some rich and a great majority of them own their homes and represent nearly all the different trades and professions in Lexington, like all the cities which I have visited our people are individually prosperous. Other places visited, Lawrenceburg, where I once taught, I meet a host of friends, both white and Colored. I met a Mr. Arthur Bond of Tulsa. He sent by me to ham a plut of Belle of Anderson sour mash whiskey. He can have some by calling at 301 N. Greenwood. Louisville is a great city, although they have Jim crow laws on the statute books they are not enforcing it in many places. The segregation law has worked a hardship on many of our people. I will cite here one instance. Mrs. Murphy owns a very valuable piece of property on Broadway, the only colored person who lived in that block, she moved to another city put the property in the hands of an agent for rent. He rented it to a white family, they discovered that the house had been tenemented by a Colored family, they moved out. Mrs. Murphey moved back to Louisville, and shoe was not permitted to live in her own house. So the house stands vacant and is going to ruin. Among other things Louisville has a Y. M. C. A., two public libraries and quite a number of parks for our Colored people, which are very elevating to our race. I find in New Albany, Ind., that the Colored people are doing something collectively for the race, they have there what is known as the Mill City Cotton Mills of Indiana, incorporated, capital stock $50,000, paid up stock $25,000. Mill description: floor space 15,000 sq. feet, capacity 200 operatives 135 looms, electric power, organized financed and officered and operated within the race. Here 200 of our people are given jobs, and not until our people are aroused to a sense of their duty and begin to make jobs for our people in the commercial r. manufacturing world we will never be able to develop into that state where our influence will be felt strongly in the economic system of this country.

Washington.—In probably one of the most important race decisions in the history, the supreme court annuled as unconstitutional the Oklahoma constitutional amendment and the Annapolis, Md., voters' qualification law restricting the suffrage rights of those who could not vote or whose ancestors could not vote to the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution. Chief Justice White, a native of the south and a former confederate soldier, announced the court's decision, which was unanimous except that Justice McReynolds took no part in the case. By holding that conditions that existed before the fifteenth amendment, which provides that the right to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, could not be brought over to the present day in disregard of this self-execting amendment, it is generally believed that the court went a long way toward invalidating much of the so-called "grandfather clause" legislation of southern states.

The immediate effect of the court's decision was to uphold the conviction of two Oklahoma election officials who denied negroes the right to vote in a congressional election and to award three Maryland negroes damages from election officials in Annapolis who refused to register them. The court held that these election officials could not ignore the potency of the fifteenth amendment in wiping out of state constitutions the word "white" as a qualification for voting. In the Maryland case the court's decision establishes the point that the fifteenth amendment applies alike to municipal as well as to federal elections. Exceptions Declared Illegal. Discussing the Oklahoma cases, Chief Justice White said the suffrage amendment to the state constitution first fixed a literacy standard and then followed it with a provision creating a standard based upon the condition existing on Jan. 1, 1866, prior to the adoption of the fifteenth amendment and eliminated those coming under that standard from the inclusion in the literacy test. Indictments Are Upheld. The constitution and statutes not only guarantee the right to vote but require the vote to be counted, the supreme court also held in reversing the federal district court of Oklahoma which annulled indictments of two Blaine county, Oklahoma, election officials charged with conspiracy to omit from congressional returns in 1912 the vote in eleven precincts. Judge Lamar dissented, saying that "the conspiracy statutes" of the United States could not be used to punish state election officials, since the repeal of the force law. SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION Favored, To Pass New Laws Barring Negroes. Oklahoma City—Receipt of the news in state official circles of the decision of the supreme court of the United States, declaring unconstitutional Oklahoma's famous "grandfather clause" of the constitution, occasioned considerable comment, but no surprise. Such a decision had been expected by those who had made a close study of the case. In contemplation of an adverse decision the question of supplanting the famous section with statute enactment or constitutional provisions had frequently been discussed in the councils of the democratic party for more than two years. In local official circles a unanimous sentiment favors the calling of an extra session of the legislature at the earliest time convenient, to enact new legislation which will have the same effect as the grandfather clause of the constitution, or to refer an amendment to the voters. Official opinion indicates that a special session will be held in the near future. Governor Wallams would not give a definite answer to the question of whether he would call an extra session of the law-making body. Other high in state and legislative official circles declared without hesitation that the legislature should be convened in extraordinary session to take whatever action that might be deemed necessary to continue the effect of the grandfather clause. Speaker A. McCrory of the house of London.—The house of commons passed a bill providing the chancellor of the achequer with a blank check which may amount, at a maximum, to 1,000,000,000 pounds ($5,000,000,000.) The vote of credit for 250,000,000 pounds passed last week by the house simply authorized the government to spend that much for war purposes, but did not provide for the manner in which this sum should be raised. The new enactment was in the form of a representatives, when called over long distance telephone at his home in Ringling, said he favored an extra session of the legislature. If the defects in the amendment can be cured by legislation he favors that method, and if it is necessary to amend the constitution, he favors the submission of the amendment. FRANK'S SENTENCE IS COMMUTED GEORGIA GOVERNOR WANTS NO BLOOD ON HIS HANDS. Militia Called Out To Save Executive From Mob Which Surrounds His Home. Atlanta, Ga.—With a dozen of his trusted friends armed with rifles surrounding him and four companies of state militia patrolling the grounds, Gov. John M. Slaton spent his last two days as the governor of Georgia, following his commutation to life imprisonment of the death sentence of Leo Frank, accused of the murder of Mary Phagan, a girl in his employ. A mob numbering hundreds wore itself out cursing the governor, hurled a few bricks at the troops and went home. At Marietta, twenty miles from here, the former home of Mary Phagan, Governor Slaton, was hanged in effigy, An inscription on the dummy read: "John Slaton, Georgia's traitor governor." Leo M. Frank has begun serving a life sentence at the Georgia prison farm for the murder of Mary Phagan, the 14-year-old employee of the pencil factory of which Frank was superintendent. His hurried secret trip by train and automobile from the Atlanta jail to Milledgeville preceded by a few hours the issuance of a long statement by Governor Slaton giving his reasons for commuting the death sentence which was to have been executed June 22. The governor went fully into details of why he commuted the sentence, his statement containing 15,000 words. In this announcement, the governor dictated the brief statement: "All that I ask is that the people of Georgia read my statement of the reasons why I commuted Leo M. Frank's death sentence to life imprisonment before they pass judgment. "Feeling as I do about this case, I would be a murderer if I allowed this man to hang. It may mean that I must live in obscurity the rest of my days but I would rather be plowing in a field than to feel for the rest of my life that I had that man's blood on my hands." At the prison Frank changed his demeanor, assuming the outward calm that had marked his years' fight for life. He again said that he had intuitively believed he would at least get a commutation of sentence. He was given No. 965, donned a suit denoting the lowest grade prisoner and began the routine of prison life. In his statement exhaustively explaining his reasons for commuting Frank's sentence, Governor Slaton reviewed the circumstances surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan in the National Pencil factory here on April 26, 1913, the conviction of Frank and his appeal for clemency. resolution which empowers the government to raise not only the 250,000,000 pounds deemed necessary to pay the cost of the war at the rate of 3,000,000 pounds sterling daily for a limited period, but as much more as may be needed. The chancellor made a long explanation of the proposed loan and in closing said that on the technical question as to the limit of the loan it would be dangerous to disclose the necessitit for not fixing any definite sum. THE TULSA STAR LEO FRANK ESCAPES HANGING LEMPEE J. Leo M. Frank, the Atlanta Jew, convicted on the unsupported testimony of a negro, of the murder of Mary Phagan, and sentenced to hang June 22 has had his sentence commuted to imprisonment. ANGELES DESERTS GENERAL VILLA AND CARRANZA LOSES FOUR OF HIS CABINET. Indications of a General Break-Up Among the Leaders of Mexican Washington.—General Felipe Angeles, artillery expert and right hand man of General Francisco Villa, has left his chief and is now in the United States en route to Boston, Mass., to visit his family. Officials were unable to throw much light on the reasons for the departure of Angeles at a time when his services to Villa in the military campaign would seem to be vitally needed. One explanation advanced was that Angeles was coming to the United States to confer with some of the many prominent Mexicans who have been living in exile, taking no part in the revolutionary activity but who lately have been planning to form a coalition with some of the forces in the field to enable them to [Name] General Felipe Angeles. get the "active moral support" which President Wilson announced in his recent statement the United States would soon give some group unless the warring factions could agree among themselves. Until the exact effect of a break between Angeles and Villa—if it develops there actually has been a break—and the outcome of the differences between Obregon and Carranza are known, officials do not think it will be possible to forecast developments in the situation. No further information was received through official channels from Vera Cruz concerning the resignations of the four cabinet ministers whom General Obregon has insisted should be retained, nor was any explanation obtainable for the removal of Carranza to an isolated fortress in the harbor in Vera Cruz. Negro Lynched Near Little Rock Texarkana, Ark.—Loy Hatey, negro, was taken from Sheriff Boyett of Hempstead county, Ark., by a mob of fifty men in automobiles and taken to a point near Lewisville, strung up to a limb of a tree and his body riddled with bullets. The negro had shot in the back and killed Roy Lester, a young white planter, near Lewisville. He swurendered and Sheriff Boyett was trying to take the negro to Little Rock when the mob overpowered him and hung his prisoner. Frauds In Oleomargarine. Washington.—How violations of the oleanmargarine law have defrauded the federal government out of at least $27,000,000 due in stamp and special taxes was revealed by Secretary McAdoo in a statement based upon a preliminary report on a sweeping investigation conducted by Commissioner Osborn of the internal revenue bureau. Frauds committed as long ago as 1902 immediately after the enactment of the law have been uncovered by the revenue commissioner. --- LEMBERG IS NOW DOOMED GALICIAN CAPITOL CANNOT RESIST ONSLAUGHT OF TEUTONIC FORCES. ITALIAN CAMPAIGN WILL BENEXT British House of Commons Votes Another War Apropriation of a Billion and a Quarter Dollars, To Keep Up the Fight. London.—The Austro-German rushing in Galicia is on again. Both Berlin and Vienna officially lay claim to progress along virtually the entire southeastern front and Lemberg seems again to be in danger. Moscika to the east of Przmysl has been captured by the Austro-Germans and according to the German contention the Russians are falling back south of the railroad connecting Przemysl and Lemberg. All the Russians counter attacks have been repulsed with gains for the Teutons from a point north of Przemysl into Bessarabia. General Von Mackenzen has telegraphed the German emperor that he hopes to capture Lemberg, the capital of Galicia, before July 1. Far off as the front is from England and France it is being watched more closely than the western front because it would appear that these operations are being pressed in an attempt to clear Galicia of the Russians, preparatory to a breathing spell in the east, which is likely to be followed by a crushing blow aimed at Italy. The fighting is growing harder daily along the Austro-Italian frontier and in view of past performances it is considered reasonable to assume that Germany will throw a great mass of troops on this front and endeavor to sweep into Italy and hold ground there just as she has done in Poland, Belgium and France. Austrians Advancing on Italians. Twenty-five thousand Austro-Hungarian troops left Trent and are now advancing against the Italians on the Riva Roverto front. Near Gorz and Gradisca heavy fighting occurred recently. The Austrian casualties are reported to have amounted to 1,500 while the number of Italians killed or wounded totaled nearly as many. A new ammunition depot at Tolmino has been destroyed by the Italians. The Austro-Hungarian troops are employing dynamite in the Alpine passes, blowing up rocks and loosening avalanches on the advancing Berzaglieri. The fighting in France around Arras while bitter and marked by daily attacks and counter attacks, has reached the stage where the German and French official communications flatly contradict each other. On the whole, it is believed here that the advantage has been with the French. HENRY BEACH NEEDHAM KILLED American Magazine Writer Falls In Military Aeroplane. Paris.—Lieut. Reginald A. J. Warneford, who gained fame recently by blowing to pieces a Zeppelin over Belgium, was killed by the fall of an aeroplane at Buc. France. Lieutenant Warneford was piloting the machine which had as a passenger Henry Beach Needham, the American writer, who also was killed. Lieutenant Warneford and Needham fell from a height of 500 feet. The lieutenant had been spending a few days in Paris where he came after his Zeppelin exploit to receive his decoration of the Legion of Honor. Needham's body was taken to the English hospital in Trianon pain. Versailles. He had been in Europe about four months, acting a correspondent of magazines and a New York paper. He had received permission from the military authorities to make a flight in order to get material for a story. COMMONS VOTES BIG WAR CREDIT Billion Dollars Added, Making Total of Four Billions In Year. London.—The house of commons voted another credit of $1,250,000,000, making with previous sums, a total of $3,310,000,000 already allowed for war purposes. In introducing the measure Premier Asquith remarked that from April 1 to June 12 the expenditure had been at the rate of $13,300,000 daily. He estimated that the total daily expenditure during the currency of the new credit would be not less than $15,000,000, for the reason that as the war extended its area, Great Britains financial obligations to the allies would increase. Denmark Pledged To Neutral Policy. London.—A Reuter dispatch from Copenhagen says the Danish folklking or lower house of parliament unanimously resolved to support the ministry in its policy of absolute neutrality. A dispatch from Copenhagen said that as a result of attacks by the conservative newspapers on the radical cabinet's policy of neutrality in the war, the government purposed to ask for a vote of confidence on its policy and that if this were not given it would resign.

SUMMER BREAKFASTS. Except for those who are working at hard labor a simple breakfast of fruit, cereal, an egg and toast or a bit of bacon and a cup of coffee is a sufficient and satisfying meal. A nice way to treat a cereal that is cooked and will be served cold is to put it, while cold, through fruit, cereal, an egg and toast or a bit of bacon and a cup of coffee is a sufficient and satisfying meal. A nice way to treat a cereal that is cooked and will be served cold is to put it, while cold, through the potato ricer. When wanted, it is then in an attractive form to serve. Corn Toast.—Cut stale bread in slices and toast. Cook three tablespoonfuls of butter with one tablespoonful of finely chopped onion three minutes, stirring constantly. Add two tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until well blended, then pour on gradually, while stirring, two cupfuls of thin cream. Bring to the boiling point and add two cupfuls of canned corn, drained, three-fourths of a teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of paprika, and one egg, slightly beaten. Again heat to the boiling point, and simmer two minutes. Arrange on the toast which has been buttered and placed on a hot platter. Pour over the corn mixture and serve hot. Creamed Salt Codfish.—There is no more wholesome dish for any meal than creamed fish. Pick the fish in small pieces; there should be three-fourths of a cupful. Cover with lukewarm water and soak. Drain, put into a saucepan, and add $2\frac{1}{2}$ tablespoonfuls of butter, stirring until the butter is melted and mixed with the fish. Sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until mixed; then pour on gradually, while stirring, one cupful of scalded milk. Bring to the boiling point and let boil for two minutes. Add one egg, slightly beaten, just before sending to the table. Southern Eggs.—Butter small namek dishes and half fill with hot boiled rice. Slip a raw egg in each, season with salt, pepper, butter, grated cheese and a little chopped boiled ham. Pour in hot water to surround the dishes, cover and bake until the eggs are set. Sauted Tripe.—Wipe fresh honeycomb tripe, cut in pieces for serving, and parbolt ten minutes, using equal parts of milk and water to cover tripe. Drain, season and roll in flour. Saute in butter. NEW WAYS WITH OLD FOODS. A most delicious ice cream may be made with a cup of grape juice, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a pint of thin cream and sugar to sweeten, depending upon the sweetness of the grape juice. Freeze as usual. The beautiful watermelon pink is not the least of the attractions of this frozen dish tablespoon juice, a juice, a cream and sweeten upon the s the grape juice as usual. watermelon the least of this frozen dish. Sponge Pudding.—This is not new, but so good that it bears repeating very often. Stir a third of a cupful of flour into a cupful of milk; when smooth set into boiling water and cook. When cool add a half-tablespoonful of melted butter and the yolks of three eggs, well beaten, with a fourth of a cupful of sugar. Cut and fold in the whites of the eggs, beaten stiff, and flavor to taste. Pour into a well-buttered pan, set in water to make twenty minutes or until firm. Serve immediately with sauce prepared as follows: Cream an eighth of a cupful of butter, add a cupful of powdered sugar gradually. Braised Beef—Cut two thin slices of fat salt pork in pieces, try out and remove the scraps. Take three pounds of beef cut from the lower part of the round, or a chuck may be used. Wipe with a damp cloth, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour and brown the surface in the pork fat. Place on a trivet in a deep baking dish and surround with half a teaspoonful of peppercorns, one-fourth of a cupful each of turnip, onion, carrot and celery cut in bits and three cupfuls of boiling water. Cover closely and bake four hours, basting every half-hour and turning the meat once during the cooking. Serve with a sauce made from the gravy in the pan, strained and thickened with butter and flour. A pretty way to serve any gelatin salad is to mold it in a ring mold and turn out on a bed of lettuce, filling the center with the creamy, thick dressing which will be served with the salad on a lettuce leaf. A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of MADE UP IN CRETONNE GARDENING DRESSES THAT ARE PRETTY AND PRACTICAL. Fabric, Carefully Chosen, Makes a Garment That Shows Its Wearer to the Best Advantage—Many Ideas to Choose From. Many seasons ago the wives of the artists in the little Norman village of Giverny discovered the picturesque color-schemes and designs of material, and their appropriateness for gowns "to be painted in." All the painters' wives were expert models for their husbands, patiently sitting and standing in doorways and windows, under trees in meadows, out in the broiling sun, or in damp and dirty boats on the little river. Gowns to pose in must be colorful and graceful, above all they had to be cheap, as the colony in those days was composed of hard workers on the way up the ladder of fame, though several of them have since arrived at the top. So the ladies set their wits to work and somebody thought of cretonne, and very soon they were all posing in coats and other garments made of it, shading their heads with Japanese parasols. Now here it is in America, made up into gardening dresses both pretty and practical. The pattern on the fabric must be chosen carefully, for only one among dozens is really adapted to clothes. Small figures are best; the gowns seen recently were all of closely patterned designs. Some of them were like big painting aprons, cut out deeply at the neck and under the arms, with serviceable pockets in front, and worn with white gimpels with elbow sleeves and simple, turned-down collars. The bretelle-idea was used for others, the skirt being made of the cretonne, and a sort of skeleton waist added, consisting of shoulder-yoke with three straps down the front, and three down the back, buttoned conspicuously to the belt, and worn over a white blouse. There were natty skirts of cretonne to be worn with blouses or with the new English smocks. The patterns chosen were not always quite appropriate. It is so easy, in choosing cretonne, to look like perambulating bedroom furniture! The best of them were the small-flowered designs and the awning stripes. These last were most attractive. A clear medium blue, boldly striped with a group of black and white lines, was plaited into a hip-yoga, so that only the blue remained visible at the top. A two-inch green and white stripe was treated in the same way, and there were excellent skirts in black and white and pink and white combinations. These striped skirts are especially intended to be worn with the colored linen smocks, on which the feminine world is going somewhat crazy. A 1 Blue chiffon skillfully draped over a flesh-colored underbodice trimmed with bands of ribbon. black and white striped skirt is worn with a yellow linen smock, embroidered in dark blue and red, and finished with a white cellar. Lilac smocks are done in yellow and blue, green in coral-pink and purple. All white smock suits of loose top part and buttoned, patch-pocketed skirt, are also shown.

All the pretty girls are wearing these dashing styles and very charming they are with the buttoned and befrogged military tailleurs. Among the new military hats is the "Tipperary," a close fitting toque, tied around with a small bit of gold braid. Then there's the "Belge," rising to a peak at the front, and also trimmed with gold braid. The "Franco," the "Kaiser," "The Scottie" and the "Cossack" are other popular military models. Every man has a right, an undoubted right, to regulate his own proceedings by his own likings and dislikings--Martin Chuzlewit. LITTLE ECONOMIES. If in the serving of meats one is careful to give no more than the person habitually eats, the waste from the table will be little. It is far better to serve a small helping and give a second one than that good food should be wasted. It is usually in the minor economies which are often beneath the notice where the wise house- son morbidity eats, the waste from the table will be little. It is far better to serve a small helping and give a second one than that good food should be wasted. It is usually in the minor economies which are often beneath the notice where the wise housewife keeps within her expenses. One housekeeper who has tried the method of co-operation with her cook in holding to a certain yearly table expense has paid her $10 extra yearly, and finds they have even better food, for the cook takes a personal interest in both having attractive food and keeping within her limit. This is a method worthy of trial by other progressive women, and, by the way, it keeps the cook at least a year to try out the method. Ox-Joints With Vegetables.—Two ox-joints have enough meat on them to furnish flavor to quite a dish of vegetables. Cut two ox-tails in pieces at the joints, put into a saucepan, cover with water and boil five minutes, drain and saute in butter, to which a sliced onion has been added. When well seared and browned add a half cupful each of carrots, turnips, celery, beans or peas, cover with boiling water and simmer until the vegetables are soft. Season well with salt, pepper and add a little parsley. Serve with a brown gravy poured over the ox-tails and vegetables. Hamburg Steak With Cabbage.—Take firm outside leaves of cabbage, wash and drain. Prepare the steak by seasoning with salt, pepper, a pinch of ground cloves, nutmeg and a little onion juice. Use half pork sausage in the meat combination. Form balls and cook in a little hot fat until well browned over, then wrap each cake in a cabbage leaf, skewer with toothpicks and place in the frying pan, adding a little boiling water, cover closely and simmer for a half hour, or until the cabbage is tender. Serve with a gravy poured around the cakes. Tomato sauce is very good as an accompaniment to this dish. SOME WAYS WITH DATES Dates are considered in most homes as an occasional daimy, as we consider confectionery, yet ten cents a pound dates are a cheap energy-producing food, one which gives six times the returns per pound as good beefsteak. In many countries dates, figs and black bread are the only foods eaten, yet the people are strong, sturdy and able sider confectionery, yet ten cents a pound dates are a cheap energy-producing food, one which gives six times the returns per pound as good beefsteak. In many countries dates, figs and black bread are the only foods eaten, yet the people are strong, sturdy and able to endure much hardship. Another advantage of the dates over meat is that they keep splendidly, if kept from insects. There are many tempting ways of serving dates, the manner most common of stuffing them with various things like nuts, fondant, cheese, is commendable, but there are more and better ways of serving them to our families. Delicious Sandwich Filling—Take two cupfuls of date paste, which is dates put through a meat chopper, and a cup of peanut butter, rubbed smooth. Makes a most appetizing filling for sandwiches. Dates with various cooked cereals are always liked, and are especially good for growing children. Give them such fruits as figs, dates and prunes and they will not care to make candy orgies which will leave them ill for days. Another good combination for date filling for sandwiches is this: Two cupfuls of dates, a half cupful of lemon juice, a half cupful of peanut butter and a dash of salt. Grind through the meat chopper and mix well. Keep in jelly glasses, cover with paraffin paper. Dates in baked custard, dates in tapioca and dates as filling for cookies, dates as pie and cake filling are some of the delicious dishes which may be prepared at home. Dates, apples, celery and nuts make good salads. Dates cooked with rice as a pudding: Add to a quart of milk a cupful of stoned dates and a quarter of a cupful of rice. Sweeten and bake in a slow oven. OF FASHION Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on Inter- National Fashions e Tulsa Star --- --- GOOD IDEA FOR THE GARDEN Excellent Way in Which Old Tree Stump May Be Turned Into a Thing of Beauty. Just at this time of year, ideas that may be easily carried out in the garden will be welcome to many of our readers, and we give a sketch of a good way in which an old tree stump may be utilized. The top of the stump is hollowed out and filled with mold and in it may be planted a large fern, as shown in the sketch, or flowers or shrubs can be planted if preferred. At irregular intervals, in the sides of the stump circular holes are cut and these holes are also filled with mold and in them smaller ferns or flowers can ```markdown ``` be planted. To clearly illustrate this idea, on the righthand side of the stump in the sketch one of these holes is shown empty. With a sharp chisel and a hammer the spaces can easily be cut out of the wood, otherwise the stump should be left quite in its natural condition. One of these stumps placed on either side of a doorway and filled with dainty flowers looks wonderfully pretty and they can be prepared without much trouble and at a very small cost. EFFECTS IN BLACK AND WHITE Draperies for the Home May Be as Effective as Artistic Sense Can Devise. Black-and-white effects are used in draperies and other decorations as well as in dress fabrics. Black-and-white stripes, plaids and black backgrounds of color are well fitted. One of the new draperies is an old-fashioned design in chintz, with a lattice of black on a French gray background upon which are printed flowers and foliage in shades of gun metal gray and shrapnel reds. There are other combinations on a French gray background. Box covers, lamp shades, couch covers, couch pillows, screens, curtains and valances in harmonizing designs are used with pleasing effect. In planning the decoration of a home individual taste and desire for tones and color harmony may be easily gratified, the range of fabrics, designs and treatment of color blending being so nearly perfect that any artistic scheme may be carried out and still kept within a modest purse. POCKET EASY TO FASHION Adjustable, and May Be Quickly Made by Those at All Skilled in Embroidery Work. For fear that one of your white skirts or a silk gown will not come prepared with the omnipresent pocket, there is a delightful separate pocket arrangement, to be slipped over a leather or fabric belt, upon which the quick embroiderer may spend a profitable hour or so. One white crepe de chine dress exploited a pair of these pockets strapped over a dark blue shade of blue. The pockets are cut much like an envelope, with the two straps instead of a flap, buttoning at each end of the crescent-shaped opening. A border of darning stitches in two shades of blue or brown or all in black makes a pretty finish, while cross-stitches or French knots may be equally well employed. The buttonholes should be worked and the buttons sewed on with the same color as used for the embroidery. A pair of these pockets worn on each hip over a white linen skirt give the effect of a smart yoked model and are really practical enough to hold a handkerchief, keys or bit of change. Crocheted Hat Tops. Among the smartest of the new shade hats are taffeta or more sallors covered with what, upon examination, proves to be notching more than a hand-crocheted mat made exactly the size to cover crown and brim and hold in place by a ribbon around the crown. 一 1 Headwear Made of Cotton Fabrics A To be practical for all the demands of a journey, long or short, to be comfortable, are the ends sought for in this suit of good wear-resisting serge. It is one of the plainest and quietest of models and is presented for the consideration of those who are preparing for a summer outing which may take them over land and sea, in cities or to the wilderness. An easy adjustment to the figure, a certain masculine severity and simplicity of line in this suit, have resulted in meeting that demand for a combination of the smart and practical. The skirt is plaited with a straight panel down the front and back having two wide plaits at each side. It is cut ankle length and finished with a three-inch hem. There are small pockets at each side and the waist extends three inches above the normal waist line. The short skirt is the only one Headwear Made Whether to be worn to gather vegetables or flowers from the garden or to go a-marketing in the morning or for the drive about the country every woman wants becoming headwear. And it seems she is destined to be gratified, for the garden hats and sunbonnets of today are as carefully planned as the dress hats with which fair women fortify themselves to meet the critical eyes of their peers. Cretonnes, ginghams, chambrays, and new fancy cotton weavers have been brought into unfamiliar service and used in new ways to evolve the homemade headwear that is illustrated in the picture given here. Even the plain little sunbonnet manages to be becoming and prettily frivolous, while it fulfills its mission of shading the eyes and protecting the neck. Some of the new cotton fabrics, such as cotton gabardine or cotton poplin, are of just the right weight and body for these pretty bonnets. Plain white tape or binding braid makes an attractive finish and adds to the firmness of edges and shapelliness of the capes and brims. There is quite a variety in paper patterns for making them and they are designed to be easily laundered. There are the time-honored ginghams and chambrays, more beautifully colored than ever, to be used, and combinations of plain and figured fabrics where a fanciful bonnet for the PAGE THREE.

The coat is a box model with double breast when fastened at the front, It opens with long revers and is furnished with pockets at the sides and an inside pocket for convenience, such as are found in men's coats. The sleeves are long and plain, having cuffs finished with braid and three bone buttons like those used for the fastening at the front of the coat.

A garden hat is shown made of plain chambray for the brim, with a puffed crown made of figured cretonne. One hardly needs a pattern for a hat so simple as this, but the standard pattern companies furnish such patterns. The brim is a circle of butcher's line covered with the plain chambray on both sides. It is stiffened with rows of machine stitching. The crown in this hat is made of a small circular piece of the linen covered with cretonne, with a puff of the cretonne gathered into it. The lower edge of the puff is turned up and gathered and sewed to the brim. There is a band of silk braid about the crown, finished with a little bow having double loops. Gayly flowered small figured cretonnes are used with plain goods of the same color as that prevailing in the cretonne. The black-and-white checked hat is part hat and part bonnet in design. A stiffened cape at the back may be either turned up or down, and fastens by means of a loop to a button on the visor at the front. Bright red, green, or black braid is used for the binding and the crown is a circle plaited into the band at its base. Machine stitching and an interlining of butcher's linen provide the requisite stiffness for the brim and cape. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. THE TULSA STAR rsting and Publishing CO.

THE LYNCHING IN EFFIGY of Governor Slaton of Georgia by a mob of would-be murderers shoys to what extent mob violence will exert itself when encouraged by the silence and inactivity of city and state officials, when the victim is a Negro. The same mob that lynches a Negro without punishment may some day charge even the governors mansion to ply its trade. GOV. WILLIAMS says it is not necessary to disfranchise the Negro for the democrats to carry this state. This is the expression of a man who has faith in his party because of its economic value to the people of this state. Evidently the governor intends to launch his party on its real merits and not on the usual Negro question. This course would add to the cause of democracy in Oklahoma. THE NEGRO VOTERS of this state, some of whom have shown extraordinary manhood in their fight against the pernicious disfranchisement law, should continue their opposition against any new legislation on part of those who would deny them the right of suffrage by getting around the points made against the law by the Supreme court. THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE received a hard jolt at the hands of the Supreme court but from the tenor of the talk and newspaper dispatches it appears that a few of the sore headed Negro-hating legislators of this state are seeking the call of a special session of the legislature in order to scheme some way to continue the disfranchisement of its Negro voters. THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA, after going into seclusion for several days in prayer (?) and supplication (?) came out with a revelation and a conscience justifying his act in commuting the death penalty of Leo Frank to life imprisonment. The strange part of his communion is that he clears Frank of wilful murder and lays the guilt upon the poor Negro Conely. But the people of Atlanta did not take his revelation (?) seriously and exhibited their feelings in threatening him with mob violence and dubbing him "Traitor Governor." Okmulgee And Grayson United By Little Cupid In Happy Wedding The final chapter of a romantic courtship, which had its beginning at one of the Oklahoma State Teachers' Associations convening in Beley some few years ago, had its grand climactic closing at the alter of the Frost Baptist Church of Grayson, Okla., the home town of the bridge last Tuesday night, June 15th. Prof. S. G. Johnson, head of the Manual Training Department of the Dunbar High School of Okmulgee and one of the city's promising and most popular young men, and Miss ida B. Watson, a fair young teacher of the state, were wed. An ideal June day, hosts of visiting and home friends, including a number of white acquaintances, sweet music and a beautifully decorated church, all contributed to make the wedding Grayson's grandest event. When the great crowd filed out of the church into the pleasant June air the honking automobiles, their flashing lights and the thronged streets for the time being, transformed the otherwise peaceful town of Grayson into a miniature busy city. The waiting autos soon whizzed the wedding party to the beautifully decorated and brilliantly lighted home of Capt, and Mrs. W. M. Watson, the brides parents, where all immediately gathered for the reception which lasted until a late hour. The wedding table was exquisitely decorated and set out a color scheme of pink and white while in another room ow the home on display was a wealth of valuable and precious gifts from the many friends and well wishers of the contracting pair. Promptly at 8:00 o'clock, the sweet and richly mellow voice of Miss Myntora Lee flowed forth to the strains of the beautiful song "Because." And hardly had the last lingering notes passed on the summer air when the skifull pianist had modulated the strains into the grand chords of the Mendelssohn's Wedding March. The minister, groom and best man, Dr. Carpenter, appeared at the altar as the brides-malds and groom's-men --- PAGE FOUR The Procession. --- April 11, 1913, at the Post Office at Tulsa, 1879.

Prof. Day, formerly of the Munal Training High School, now Principal of the Colored High School at Sapulpa, Okla., and also one of the heads of the Normal at Okmuligee, was a visitor in Muskogee last Saturday and took in the A. M. E. outing at Hyde Park. The professor reports an attendance of over 150 at the Okmuligee Normal, which is about twice or three times the number attending other normals elsewhere. The well known Attorney William Henry Harrison of Oklahoma City, was visiting in town last week and was a speaker of interest in the services at the First Baptist Church last Sabbath. Mr. Harrison is a prominent official in K. of P. circles and is on a tour fixing up his fences. Rumor has it that District Grand Master Ed Jefferson of the Odd Fellows of Oklahoma has shiled his hat in the ring and is a candidate for Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Oklahoma. When Ed secures that job he will then see to it that the old patriarch of the United Brethren of Friendship, G. M. DeLancey, is appointed sergeant at arms at the national republican convention and Ed will try to beat Whitman of N. Y. for the presidential nomination. Prof. John Tyler Smith, principal of the Douglas School, who is also an agriculturist, has an extensive potato farm near the Spaulding bridge and had a fine crop. The professor was looking for the potato buyer who was said to be offering $1.15 per bushed. Also, there were others looking for him. The decision of the U. S. Supreme Court setting aside the Oklahoma Grandaddy Clause as unconstitutional was received by our citizens with no great hullabaloo, but at the same time was generally and favorably commented on. Funny thing. Some of the leading white democratic leaders seem to think that no further legislation of the kind is now necessary as the Negroes under the last law learned political sense and will now vote the democratic ticket regularly. So they will—NOT. EDITOR LOST HIS BELIGION EDITOR LOST HIS RELIGION. The fire-eating, fighting and erudite editor of the Tulsa Star was a passer through Muskogee during last week on his way to be a member of the U. S. Grand Jury sitting at McAleren, Okla. While here Editor Smitherman called at the local postoffice to see our Indian postmaster on business. Smitherman was asked to take off his hat on entering the office, this being P. M. Brewer's rule for Negroes but not for whites. To this Editor Smitherman very properly demurred, and lost enough of his "good, old time religion" to cuss a blue streak that short-circuited the electric fixtures. It appears the Postmaster is unmildful or forgetful of American history for it is the white American who is due to go bare-headed all his days.

C., somewhere between 50 and 60 years. The most prominent character is David. He is related to every lesson, except the first, either as an actor or an author. This fact gives us a center about which to revolve our review. By making assignments a week in advance a chapter summary of David's life can be presented as follows: Chapter I, Saul's disobedience, and its relation to David. II, The secluded shepherd boy and Samuel. III, The boy and the giant. IV, The musician and the king. V, The boy and his friend. VI, The young man in exile. VII, The young man as king. VIII, The king and the ark. IX, The king's great sin. The remaining lessons will make excellent reading matter to be interspersed with the presentation of the various chapters and we may call the whole program "From Obscurity to Power." An excellent suggestion is made in "Peloubet's Selected Notes," of making a large chart ruled vertically into five columns and horizontally into twelve spaces, one for each lesson. Label the vertical columns respectively, place, characters, intervening events, key verse, and principal teaching. Then have each of the sixty different spaces assigned to classes or to individuals who will each in turn, beginning at the upper left hand corner with lesson one, fill in the different spaces in order until the whole chart is covered. If a blackboard is used these facts can be written within the different squares, otherwise care must be taken to have the facts written upon previously prepared pieces of cardboard, or paper, each to correspond to the dimensions of the various squares on the large chart. As in the case of the "chapter review," previous suggested, Lessons II, XI and XII, being from the Psalms, may be read and no further attention be given to them so far as the chart is concerned. For the younger classes a good story teller can give a running story of the lessons which will prove highly interesting. To drill the school or the separate classes on some of the outstanding facts of the books of First and Second Samuel and the Psalms will prove a profitable expenditure of time. For illustration: Who are the heroes of First Samuel? Of Second Samuel? What chief events in the life of David are recorded in First Samuel? In Second Samuel? Where is the record of David and Goliath? If a running commentary is desired the following suggestions may help: Lesson I. Saul is set aside, hence the need of David, "a man after God's own heart." Lesson II. Samuel's choice set aside and David the youngest son is selected to be king. Lesson III. The wonderful shepherd psalm which is a "testimony" of David the shepherd king. (Have the school recite it in concert.) Lesson IV. A venture of faith, Jehovah's watchful care over David, and the downfall of a mighty foe. Lesson V. Saul's vain attempt to slay David. The development of hatred, the protecting care over those who "put their trust in Jehovah." Lesson VI. The love of David and Jonathan, an illustration of the surrendered life and a type of the love for us of one who has said, "Hence forth I call you not servants but friends." Lesson VII. David's generosity to his persistent persecutor. David did not do to Saul what Saul tried to do to David. Though selected to become the king, David recognized in Saul one of God's chosen men and patiently bided his time till God should remove this recreat, disobedient servant and place him in the position of power. Lesson VIII. David exalted to be king, first over Judah and later over the entire nation. Also the record of his shrewd manner of making friends with all of the tribes of Israel. Lesson IX. David established Jerusalem to be both the civic and religious center of the nation. His joy in worship and in God's service points forward to our "chief shepherd." Lesson X. David was after all only human. In the midst of his idle luxury he succumbed to the allurement of temptation and committed an awful sin, an act that involved many others and made the sum total one fearful to behold. How are the mighty fallen! The higher they are the harder the fall. Let this part of the review consist of reading the psalms with but little, preferably no, comment. If what has gone before has been prayerfully and vividly presented, comment on these two lessons is needless. They so clearly and cogently connect themselves with David's life as to leave little more to be said, and the review will end with the psalmist's note of prayerfulness and his trust in Jehovah, the testimony of his personal knowledge and experience.

Jackson, among the wealth: fest Negroes in Richmond, Va. and known throughout the state, was born & slave in Goochland county about sixty-five years ago, He has been chosen president of the exposition which 1s to be held in that city in July tn commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation and of the achievements of the Negroes in this country. He has secured a fed- eral appropriation of $55,000, an ap- propriation from the New York legis- lature of $7,500, a Councilmanie ap propriation from the city of Richmond 6f $5,000 and several lesser donations Juekson {s the leading Negro law- yer in Virginia, and at one time was prominently identified with the po- litical life of President McKinley, who commissioned bim as a colonel to take part in the inaugural parade in 1901. In 1905 Jackson was placed tn command of the third eivic division in the Roosevelt inaugural parade at Washington, and Mr. Roosevelt, when he visited Richmond, in 1906, called at Jackson's office, and from in front of it addressed a crowd of several thousand Negroes, whe cheered him Justily. Jackson's law offices are decorated with bronze busts of Presidents Me- Kinley and Roosevelt, a large picture of Gen, U. 8. Grant and staff, and a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, besides pictures @f all the other presidents from Washington down. Jackson has a vivid recollection of General Grant, whom he saw three times, twice as a prisoner of war. During the war Jackson followed his master, Col. Charles W. Dickinson of Fitz Lee's cavalry, as body servant. When he was captured by the Union troops in Caroline county he asked to be taken before General Grant. There he begged to be allowed to return through the lines to his master, whom, he said, he had left wounded upon the battlefield, General Grant granted him permission and gave him a pass, Jackson says he asked to be al- lowed to leave the Federal lines at night so that he could guide himself on his journey by the stars. This was allowed. General Grant cautioned him, however, that he might be shot by a picket, and told him if he was halted to stop at once and give the password, which was, “Friend of the Union.” He started out in the darkness and soon experienced some nervousness, whereupon he recalled the advice of the Union commander. At once he began repeating the password at ev- ery step, and finally began shouting “Friend of the Union" so loudly that he was surrounded by eight or ten patrols, who demanded to know if he believed he was the only friend the Union possessed. Jackson showed his pass and was allowed to proceed. Jackson again fell into the hands of the Federals at City Point, Va., not far from Petersburg. Here he told his captors that he knew General Grant, who had once allowed him to return to the Confederate lines, and he wished to be taken before him again, He showed his pass, whereupon tney took him to Grant's headquarters, about five miles away, and to his delight the general recognized him. “Well, my boy.” said General Grant, “we seem to have you again. Do you still want to go back to your master, or have we caught him also?” Jackson replied that his master was still living and not yet captured. He begged to be allowed to return to “hia people,” and Grant consented. Pin New York recently Booker Wash- ington gave this sound suggestion to his people: “Settle down and get identified with some one place, Then build up there reputations for sobriety and industry. If you can't find the right place in the city, go to a small town near by, or et back to the soll. At any rate, set: tle down and get hold of some proper ty and start a bank account. You will soon find that your savings are grow: ing and that you are growing faster tnd bigger than the bank account.” We have evidence from a number of sources that Negroes in the rural South are more careful about educat- ing their children than white neigh: bors. Child labor 1s not so serious a protdem among the Negroes as among the whites. It would not be at all sur: prising if thus indirectly the solution of the racial problem be obtained.

The two factions, one of which was represented by Jackson, appealed to the military governor, who sided against Jackson and his follow ers. But Jackson remembered Gen- eral Grant and appealed to him, and representatives of each side ap: peared before the president After listening to the wrangle for some moments the president said to them ufat he knew only one of their number, and knew him to be honest, because he had twice held him a pris oner of war and each time he had begged to be sent back to his master. ‘Then asking Jackson to present to him the map of the plan which he advocated, President Grant took from his pocket a lead pencil and wrote across the ward proposed by Jackson the two words, “Jackson's Ward.” And “Jackson's Ward” it remains to this day, FE. L. Blackshear, president of the Prairie View (Tex.) State Normal and Industria! college for Negroes, an- Swered those critics of education for the Negro who say that education of the black man only makes him have less regard for law and order, In opening the commencement egercixes proper Professor Blackshear gave @ short history of the institution, “Bome white people express the be Hef that education of the Negro makes him less honest and less upright,” said Professor Blackshear, “This institu tion was established as an agricultural college in 1878, and the next year was made a normal institution. In her his- tory she has graduated 1,111 students and has given certificates to teach to more than twice that number, Mig- ures show that not pne of our gradu- ates has committed a capital offense against the peace and dignity of the state; less than 1 per cent of our graduates have committed the least misdemeanor, and not one of them has committed an act of violence against the white people of Texas. “It is another particularly encour- aging fact that since this school's establishment there has never been the slightest tinge of friction or hard feeling between the white people of this county and community and the students, faculty and officers of the Prairie View institute. In view of these statements, which are indisput- able facts, I do not think that any one can consistently say that the proper kind of education does any- thing except encourage the Negro in his attempt to live a better and more useful life.” Commencement exercise® at Prairie View came to an end with the pres- entation of diplomas to the graduates by Judge John 1, Guton, president of the board of directors of the Agricul- tural and Mechanical college, and the Prairie View normal, The presence of a large number of white people at the commencement exercises at Pral- rie View during the entire week has been the source of much pleasure to the members of the board of directors.

FOX-HUNTERS IN THE WAR Thousands of Men Who Enjoyed That Sport in Britain Are Now at the Front.

NATIONAL NEGRO DOLL COMPANY, 519 Second Ave., N. Nashville, Tenn. THE CHURCH The Elegent $15,000 Church Edifice now under Course of Construction by the Members and Congregation of Mt. Zion Baptist Church Cor. Elgin and Easter Streets. As it will appear when Completed. The above is the Mt. Zion Baptist church, of Tulsa, Okla, corner Eastern and Eglin. When completed will cost eleven thousand, two hundred and fifteen dollars. This church will be a credit to the community and city as well. We have been struggling for the past six years and are indeed glad to say that we have this day seen the light. Our corner lot today is paid for. We have paid the last dollar, the mortgage is in our hands and in the near future it will hurt and our many friends will be called to see the burning. As a Board of Trustees, we are grateful to our members who have stood so hard by our plans and ever followed the leadership of our pastor, who knows no failure. Rev. R. A. Whitaker. Pastor. Last Sunday was our bright day; the members railed to the roll call and when the pastor ended the call four hundred and eighty-seven dollars and five cents was reported collected. The Board met at once and began its work of paying off. We paid the last dime on limber for the Tabernacle; took up the land notes and saved enough to start our work, and today we are struggling to put in our footing. That work is moving along nicely. We are calling on our friends, who have always told us that they would help us when we started. Today we are on our way. We need seventy-five thousand bricks, lime, cement, stone and sand, and money to carry this work on. We are praying to enter the basement of our church by November Whatever you can do to help us, do it! We are now engaged in a great revival, working for the salvation of men. Come and help fight the good fight. A Word About Pastor Whittaker. One year ago last Sunday Pastor Whitaker was installed as pastor of this flock. A dark day for any minister to take a flock who had been as discouraged foes within and without he was then Superintendent of Mission for Oklahoma, and many said he could not succeed and obstacles of every kind in his way, but God was in him, and he being a man of great faith and much courage, he took charge in the school house on Harton street. In September the pastor received orders to move. Whatever to be done must be did at once, he sought refuge in a hall; there he continued to preach and pray until God provided another place a few Brethren led by Brother Henry, resolved to build a temporary place of worship where we now abide. The poster was supported by a few members while many stood afar off. Today we are proud of him; his life is beyond reproach; his record is fine, his department is good, his ability excellent as a preacher. Oklahoma knows him as a leader, he is safe and sound, a wise counselor, a good preacher and a great preacher or righteousness. He is worthy of this little commendation, and more. We love him because he is not afraid. We love him because he can do things. We love him because he is a man to his word. We love him because he is worthy to be loved. If Zion can be built this leader can build. Tulsa should be proud of him, because he is safe in the home, sound in the pulpit, big in his heart and kind to his fellowmen. Again we say, all praise to pastor Whitaker! Signed, Trustee Board, GEO. KELLEY, Chairman, WM. S. DURDEN, Secy. OUR CHOICE FOR EDITOR OF THE WESTERN CHRISTIAN RECORDER. One year from next May the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church will meet at Philadelphia, Penn, in its 100th session. Along with the various business features of interest will be the celebration of the 100th, anniversary of this religious organization. To say this will be the most eventful gathering of the church which has come up through the cycles of time until now its has reached the position of being one of the most progressive and intelligent religious organizations in the world At this session several Bishops and many General Officers will be elected. It will be up to the General Conference to see to it that the best men, in character, reputation and ministerial dignity. As to whether this course will followed remains to be seen but going upon the theory that this Great Church will elect men for the Bishoprie and General Officers who will measure up to the christian standard of Biblical requirements. The Star has a christian minister, who possesses all the elements of goodness moral fitness and educational requirements to offer for the position of Editor and Manager of the Western Christian Recorder, now held by Rev. J. F. McDonald of Kansas City. In offering Dr. Perrin for this place we present a gentleman and minister who has served the church in the ranks in all its grade from lay member to Presiding Elder. He has never before sought any distinctive honors at the hands of the Connection, and has been content to work hard and zealously for the church in an humble and obedient way. Oklahoma is behind him to a man, and Oklahoma has never yet received or asked for a General Officer. The loyal support given the church from this state is now entitled to recognition, and in asking this one position we feel that its demands are in significant compared with other states, and should be granted. At all events the delegation from this state will go up to the General Conference solid in its support of Dr R. M. Perrin for this position, and the Star is confident that if worth and fitness, if praiseworthy service and connectional loyalty, is any guarantee for merit, then he will be easily elected to this General Office. Notice! Notice! The public is hereby notified that ROBT. L. EDWARDS is no longer connected with the Star Office in any capacity and is not authorized to collect any money due this paper or printing office. We will not be responsible for any money paid him.
