E. publishing house at Philadelphia. Much praise is being accorded Rev. Johnson for his excellent work here and although the statute of the A. M. E. church limitation has run against him strong pressure has been brought to bear with Bishop Chappelle to leave Rev. Johnson at his present post of duty, where he has accomplished so much good during the present five years. The conference will close Sunday and until then or maybe Monday, no one will know Bishop Chappelle's decision. Tulsato Have Mexican Paper Tulsato Have Mexican Paper Well Known Mexican Will Launch Spanish Paper in the Interest of His People in the United States. If the plans of H. H. Mendoza, a well known educated Mexican who was formerly an employee of the Tulsa Star office, works well, Tulsa will soon hae a bona fide unsophisticated Mexican newspaper printed in the Spanish language in the interest of his race in this country. Mr. Mendoza is now in Kansas City raising funds for the project and will probably return early next week for business. The political complexion of the paper is not known at this time, but it will probably be a pro-Carranza sheet. This Sherift too Much For Mob HID JAIL KEYS AND THEN MADE KNOWN HIS INTENTION TO FIGHT. Marlon, Ark., Oct. 19—Deputy Sher- iff Williford, who also acts as jailer, drove away a mob whose number he estimated at 200 at 2 o'clock this morning, when they appeared at the county jail and demanded Gene Judah, a negro prisoner. Judah had been arrested in the morning charged with criminally as- saulting a young woman at Earle, 18 miles from here. On a pretext the jailer was induced to open the jail door. Then the mob attempted to force its way in. Williford thrust his revolver into the side of the leader and forced him and his followers to back out. He then hid the key to the jail, wrest outside and declared that he intended to fight as long as his amu- nition lasted. When he had finished, the members of the mob silently climbed into their automobiles and departed in the direction of Farle. Smart White Man Insults Colored Woman New Employee of Local Postoffice Forgets His Place and Offers Inault to Respectable Colored Woman and Is Reprimanded by Postmaster Crutchfield. One day last week Mrs. F. C. Smith who reside sat 613 East Archer, went to the postoffice up town to cash a money order. She had done this often before and had never had occasion to complain of the treatment accorded her by the employees in the money order department. But on this occasion she found a new man in charge of this window. He was evidently of that type of lowly bred stock who are usually disrespectful in their attitude toward Colored people. In a very rough manner he demanded identification and when Mrs. Smith referred him to one of the clerks who had cashed money orders for her before, the new smart Alec alluded to her as "this nigger," to which Mrs. Smith promptly demurred and in good plain English told him just what she thought of him. "Cur," "puppy," and "hound" were some of the pet names she conferred upon him, and not satisfied with this she went with her husband to Master Crutchfield and told him the treatment accorded her. The postmaster immediately called the young fellow on the carpet and severely reprimanded him, reminding him that he was employed by the U. S. Postoffice department and must treat every patron of the office with respect and courtesy. Mexicans InU.S. Protest Against Jewish Counselship. Mexicans InU.S. Protest Against Jewish Counselship. There has appeared of late in the limelight of Mexican politics an individual, an American citizen, who poses himself as a friend of the Mexicans in the United States and styles himself as "Bernardo Lopez," with offices at 308 West Sixth St., Kansas City, Mo. We do not care how much he deals with the Spanish speaking people residing in this country, along a business line, no matter if he deals in liquors or not, but we sure do object and raise a word of protest against his activities which he has been displaying lately, regarding international affairs of Mexico. In the first place Mexicans have brought his business to the success actually have, by being deceived, believing that a man by the name of Bernardo Lopez, which is a Spanish name, is in reality a Mexican. He is not but claims to be a friend, and supporter of the Latin Americans, to expand his trade of course. "through his paper, "El Cosmopolite" which he entitles as a genuine Mexican publication (only by name) he has become a loyal supporter of the Constitutionalist cause, the most, when he made a special trip to Vera Cruz, Mexico to confer with the First Chief of the Republic, Gen. Vemestiano Carranza, and to Washington, D.C. the result of which, a few weeks later he announced himself appointed by Carranza as Mexican Consul with offices in Kansas City, Mo. We repeat again, we protest against a Jew being appointed consul of Mexico, because of the fact that we believe him unfit for holding the responsibility of such a high appointment and incapable from a patriotic view point. By doing this we voice the sentiment of the majority of Mexican people residing in this country. Mr. Pedro Osorio, late consul, is an honest, capable official and has proved beyond doubt of his sincerity and capability for the time he so ably has managed the interest of Mexico in his consulate. We will in due time take up this matter with the authorities concerned with only one object in view, which is this: To oust a Jew from the offices of the Consulate in Kansas City, Mo. because such is the will of the people, and the people will win out in the end, no matter if he has capital backing him up. HENRY H. MENDOZA. TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1915 Popular McAlester Woman Chaperons Langston Girls Mary C. MRS. E.J.E. MCDANIEL The new matron of the C. A. and N. University at Langston New Matron by Making Herself Companion for Female Students of Colored Agricultural and Normal University Has Won the Respect and Confidence of Female Student Body and is Adding Much to Successful Growth and Popularity of School. Since the appointment of Mrs. E. E. McDaniels, of McAlerest, wife of Hon. E. E. McDaniel, one of the foremost men of the race in Oklahoma, as matron of the C. A. and N. University at Langston, word comes out from the institution that she has caused a wonderful metamorphosis in the atmosphere about the girl's dormitory, and her influence is being felt by every inmate of the institution. Mrs. McDaniel was appointed to this important position October 1, and when the news of her appointment was circulate a wave of general satisfaction and relief was felt throughout the state, because Mrs. McDaniel has a wide acquaintance and is loved by all who know her. Fortified with thirty years' experience in educational work and endowed with all those sweet maternal qualities which are so necessary for this kind of work, with her natural desire to elevate the race, Mrs. McDaniel is preeminently fitted for the position she holds. According to reports Mrs. McDaniel has rapidly found her way into the graces of the female student body and at the same time commanded their respect. She is not only a chaperone for the girls of the institution, but to each one she is a confidential friend and a companion. Learning of Mrs. McDaniels' connection with the school many parents will not hesitate to send their daughters to this institution. Being a mother as well as a teacher, and understanding the interest every mother feels in her children, and further feeling in a high sense her responsibility to the state and to her race, Mrs. Mc Daniel is an ideal woman for this position. It is such flowers of the race as this that every true race man and woman should encourage and support. Her connection with the Langston University at this time is a great boost for the school. The State Board of Education shows that they have the best interest of the race at heart by employing women of Mrs. McDaniels calibre. McCutcheon Making Good McCutcheon Making Good New President of State School at Langston Making Good. The Colored Agricultural and Normal University at Langston under the administration of Prof. T. B. McCutcheon, the new president is rapidly coming to the front and commanding attention as an educational institution for the Colored youths of the state. The new president has made many changes at the institution for the betterment of the school and the student body and is supported by a competent and efficient staff of assistants who will help to make this one of the best schools in the Southwest.

St. Building Bought for Another Oklahoma Negro Teachers in Muskogee. Muskogee, Okla., Oct. 22, 1915.—Renewed attention to the appointment of white guardians for rich Negro minor children has been awakened by the reproduction of the Tulsa Star expost of that practice in the "Crisis." Interest in the matter is taken by our people for many reasons; but especially for two. One is that to date no Colored guardian has been appointed for white minors and likely never will be. The other is, that even if the white guardian of the Negro minor be ever so honest, it is not believed that he can get close enough to his Negro ward to learn its true desires and actual needs. Muskogee county has a number of very wealthy Negro minor children belonging to the Creek and Cherokee Freedman class. They own very valuable oil lands and each month they draw royalties that are figured up in thousands. The wealthiest of these minbrs, of course, have white guardians who are living on Ezy Avenue because of the sinecure job. Sarah Rector, the fifteen-year-old Creek girl, is one of these minors and is rated as a millionaire-to-be; and little Luther Manuel, aged 12, is a Negro youngster whose bank account is swelling $25,000 or $30,000 plunks per month. It might be unjust to criticise County Judge Leahy for appointing white guardians for it may happen that he is doing what he deems best for all concerned. Then it is to be remembered that some Negro guardians on account of their dislike for the art of bookkeeping have afforded examples that necessitated their being sent to McAlester to split rocks. Yet, and all the same, there are Negroes in Muskogee who could take proper care of the Rector, Manuel and other estates in every respect, but one possibly. That one is the matter of profitable investment, as that field is more open to white men than 1 tis to Colored not only in Oklahoma, but everywhere. And right here, it may be said, that two recent real estate investments in white guardians for their Negro wards have provoked wide comment. Both transaction were given publicity in the white daily papers, and the last itinerated by the Times-Democrat approvingly. "It is a long, long way to Tiperary" but it is a much longer way t o the secret cause of color prejudice. Right in face of the argument made from coast to coast in favor of segregation of the races in cities; and the frequent statement that the ownership or occupancy of property in a neighborhood of whites depreciates its value, here are two real estate deals that demand attention for a number of reasons. Two valuable pieces of Muskogee are sold through the white guardians (Sic) to Negro minors. For Sarah Rector, the Bib Fike business and apartment block on South Second street was bought for $57,000. Of course South Second has been a Negro street for years, and in fact it was redeemed from its shack period into commodious and handsome bricks by Negro town builders, to such a degree that the whites were envious and tried to attract trade to Main and Third streets on the East and West. This street attracted Scales of Texas and other whites, among them Bob Fike, and it can be recalled that it was expected that no Negroes could possibly rent from them, and it was not though that Negroes could ever buy the property. In the Bob Fike instance, this property was both rented to Negroes for store purposes, and now has been sold to Sarah Rector. But again, of course money does not grow on trees on South Second like it did when Hughes and Simmons run a drug store and J. R. Green sold cough medicine at the corner. But the climax is the purchase of the Sever's block for little Luther Manuel, aged 12, by his white guardian and with the sanction of Judge Leahy, and others (no Negroes included.) This property is right smack on Broadway, "The Great White Way," reaches from Main to Second and faces all three streets. It was recently handsomely remodeled, has eight large store rooms down, and about twenty nicely appointed offices upstairs. $120,000 of Luther Manuel's oil money went into this Subscription $1.00 Per Year STATE BAPTIST CONVENTION HOLDING ROUSING SESSION AT OKMULGEE Okmulggee, Okla., Oct. 19.—The Oklahoma State Missionary Baptist Convention which convened here today for a five days' session, will go down in history as one of the best and most harmonious gatherings of Baptist people ever called together in Oklahoma. The session was called together promptly at 9:30 this morning by president, Rev. S. S. Jones of Muskogee, who for eight consecutive years has marched at the head of this organization through storm and through sunshine as the peerless leader of his people. All the forenoon and a part of the afternoon and evening were devoted to welcome addresses and responses. The Zion Bethel Baptist church of Okmulggee, Rev. J. A. Anderson, pastor, was the place selected for the convention but this edifice proved to be inadequate to accommodate the great number of delegates and visitors who came in from all parts of the state. The program of welcome addresses and orders were as follows: Called to order by president. Devotionals, Rev. R. W. Wall, Spiro: A. Dorsey, Wetumka.

The convention will close Sunday. Several national characters of the Baptist denomination are present at this convention and the two factions growing out of the split of the national convention at Chicago are plainly in evidence here. The election of officers, judging from present indications, will precipitate a big fight. block. It has two corners that everything with legs, and all wheels, not on rails pass at some time during the day. Pegram's Mammoth Dry Goods Emporium is yonder, the First National Bank 'other way, and right across is the Exchange National Bank, thank you, Mam. Now if that aren't a solar plexus to old Jim Crow and hoary-headed "Segregation," we don't know what is. "How did it happen, and what does it all mean?" are questions that are being answered in forty-leven ways by the Negroes who "knowitall." Some see a "Nigger" in the wood pile, some smell graft. Some have it that the white folks are getting theirs, as usual. Others have it that this part of Broadway is to deteriorate because the business section is moving out toward the new Custom and Postoffice building. True enough, but Luther Manuel may be a voter or gray haired before this really happens. Remember the Grand River Dam and navigating the Arkansas. (All sing "In the Sweet By and By."

Porter Charlton's Trial Begins. Como, Italy. When the case of Porter Charlton, the American charged with murdering his wife, was called today. Signor Cataneo asked for a further postponement to give Micelli Picardi, Charlton's chief counsel, who is indisposed, further time to study the case. Baron Selacca, the presiding judge, denied the motion and began trial in parts of the case wherein a defense is not necessary. Charlton was attacked with a fainting fit during the progress of the interrogation and was obliged to retire from the court room. When he returned Baron Selacca continued the inquiry. The public is being excluded by the court because of the nature of the testimony. Elevator Boy is Accused of Murder.

THE GUARDIANSHIP GRAFT. Some time ago the Tulsa Star started a fight against the practice of appointing white men guardians of Negro children and since that time have published several editorials showing the evil of the practice. Numerous letters have been received by the editor of the Star concerning our position in this matter, and had we been in doubt at first to the correctness and fairness of our position, we would now be convinced that there is merit in our fight, and that the Colored people of Oklahoma as a whole are opposed to white men as guardians of their children. They have learned through bitter experience that the interest of their children and of the race as a whole would be best conserved by appointing Negro men as guardians for Negro children. This is the proper attitude for the parents of Negro children to assume. No Negro in Oklahoma should consent for a white man to become guardian of his children, because under the social, economic and political conditions now existing in Oklahoma it is well nigh impossible for a Colored child to receive a square deal from a white guardian. How is it possible for a white man, living under the environment of Oklahoma laws, in the atmosphere of race prejudice and exposed to the temptations which the guardianship graft affords, to deal fairly with a wealthy Negro ward? At any rate they do not do it, and no one expects it of them. The inconsistency of the Oklahoma white man is distinctly shown in the fact that while he objects to riding in railway coaches with the Negro, sitting in public places with them or according them the same rights that other citizens enjoy, yet he is perfectly willing and finds no objection to becoming the guardian for wealthy Negro children. Last week over in Muskogee, according to reliable information, the white guardian of Luther Manuel, a Colored minor, purchased for him a two-story stone building for the exorbitant price of 120,000. This they call profitable investment of the minor's money. We call it robbery. There are many other similar cases in eastern Oklahoma, and remember, all of these deals are manipulated through the county courts. These are some of the reasons wh we are opposed to appointing white men guardians of Negro children. Let the white man's laws of separation and segregation apply with equal force to guardianship matters. Give to the Negro that which is his, he asks no more. THE COLORED PEOPLE of Oklahoma pay taxes on millions of dollars worth of property in this state, and not a single man of the race in the legislature to represent them. The Star would like to see a few good clean Colored men in the state legislature from various parts of the state, and we would like to see them elected on the democratic ticket so they could take part in the democratic caucuses and educate the robid-minded of that party concerning the race. The greatest difficulty between the white folks and our race is that they do not understand each other. We need to be in closer contact with each other if we are to ever overcome the obstacles there may be between us. Anyhow( we ought to have representatives in the legislature. TWO GREAT BODIES OF CHRISTIAN workers are in session in Oklahoma this week: the A. M. E. annual conference in this city and the State Baptist convention at Okmulgee. And both of these great organizations are working overtime to save men's souls, fostering charity work and promoting educational enterprises, all of which is very commendable. But why not go a step further and in their might and power rise up in arms against the big graft system practiced by white guardians of Negro children in this state? AFTER ATTENDING the A. M. E. Conference in this city and the state Baptist convention at Okmulgee someone remarked that the A. M. E. people are a century ahead of the Baptists in discipline. But it might be observed that the Baptist folks are naturally loud even to a point of confusion, in worshipping their God. NO NEGROES O FOKLAHOMA are clamoring for the guardian ship of white children. The white folks would not stands for the courts to appoint Colored men guardians of white children and Colored people should be just as particular about the guardians of their children. A NUMBER OF FRIENDS, delegates to the conference here this week have called in the Star sanctuary and paid their respects—and some their subscriptions.

FIRE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT Dear Brethren: I appreciate the honor and pleasure it is to me to tell you young men that Freemasonry was originated by honorable men with the praiseworthy design of calling to our remembrance the most sublime truths in the midst of the most innocent and social pleasures founded on Liberality, Brotherly Love and Charity. It is a beautiful system of morality vailed in allegory and illustrated by symbols. GATT Freemasonry comprehends within its circle every breach of useful knowledge and learning and stamps an indelible mark of pre-eminence on its genuine professors which neither chance, power nor fortune can bestow. Masonry, my brother, gives real and intrinsic excellence to man, and renders him fit for the duties of society. It strengthens the mind against the storms of life, paves the way to peace and promotes domestic happiness. It ameliorates the temper and improves the understanding. It is company in solitude and gives vivacity, variety and energy to social conversation. In youth, it governs the passions and employs our most active passions and in age, when sickness, imbecility and disease have rendered the union of soul and body almost intolerable, it yields an ample fund of comfort and satisfaction.

WOODEN If there is any one man in Tulsa who commands the respect and confidence of the entire citizenship, that one man is Hon. F. M. Wooden, the popular mayor of the best and most progressive city anywhere in the southwest—of course everybody understands that means Tulsa. First serving the city as commissioner of finance from 1910 to 1912, he worked so faithfully and served so well that the people of Tulsa decided to make him chief executive of the municipal affairs. So when in 1912 he announced his candidacy for mayor it was equivalent to his election, which followed, and during the three years intervening between that time and now he has built up a reputation that few men anywhere can boast of. We do not mean to say that he has never been criticized, but we do mean that his life and his administration during these three years has been spotless. We believe he is worthy of the confidence reposed in him by the people of Tulsa and we are firmly of the belief that if he chose to announce again for re-election he will be elected by the largest majority he ever polled because we believe every man who knows him and believe in honesty and fair play, whether white or black, would vote for him.

Col. Quinn has had many years' experience in municipal affairs. For about twenty years he served the city of St. Louis, and since his election as commissioner of police and fire departments for the city of Tulsa, he has made a splendid record and enough good, true friends to guarantee his re-election as many times as he may desire to succeed himself. Chief Burns is a well known and popular character not only in the police circles but in any circle where he is known. He has given to the city of Tulsa a class of men to serve as guardians of the law and a police service that will probably surpass any town in the United States of this size. He is without question the best chief of police the city of Tulsa ever had. He is kind and considerate, yet strict and firm in the discharge of his duty. He is just the man to successfully marshall men, made so by almost a lifetime of experience in this kind of work. Among some of his many friends the chief is often referred to as "Prince" Burns. Both of these men are valuable assets to the city of Tulsa and long may the citizens of Tulsa be blessed with their service.

SAVES SPECIAL SESSION CALL Some Questions Unanswered; $300, 000 Has Been Paid Under Pro- test by Oil Producers of the State. Oklahoma City—Validity of the Oklah- oma gross-production tax law en- acted by the Fifth legislature and which provides for the levying and collection of a tax of 2 per cent upon the gross production of oil and gas in Oklahoma is upheld in a unanimous opinion given by the supreme court. The law in question is generally regarded as one of the most important revenue-producing measures passed by the last legislature and its constitutionality has been vigorously contested by the oil producing interests of the state almost since its enactment. Already taxes amounting to approximately $300,000 have been paid under protest by producers who have been fighting the law. The opinion of the court, which was written by Justice J. F. Sharp, simply upholds the constitutionality of the law and does not dispose of a number of important questions raised by those who opposed it. The act itself confers exclusive and original jurisdiction upon the supreme court in all questions pertaining to the law and in view of this the court held that no question was properly before it except those directly touching on the question of whether the legislature acted within the scope of its authority in the passage of such a law. Among the questions raised in connection with the attack on the law and which are not disposed of by the court by reason of the original jurisdiction feature, is that of who pays the tax on the royalty production, the lessor or the lessor. This was considered by oil producers as one of the most important questions presented to the court. The law provides that the tax of 2 per cent on the gross production shall be in lieu of all other taxes upon machinery and equipment used in the production of oil, and it was contended by producers that this provision had the effect of exempting property from taxation contrary to provisions of the constitution. The court construes this provision of the law, not as an exemption, but as a substitution of one form of taxation for another. It also holds that it is not a property tax, but is a business or occupation tax such as the legislature has the right to provide for under section 12 of article 10 of the constitution. The decision of the court is given in the case of the Wolverine Oil Company, which instituted original proceedings before the supreme court. Before the proceedings were instituted in the higher court statements were filed by producers with the state board of equalization, setting forth their objections to the law. When the producers were protesting before the equalization board Governor Williams declared that if the law was declared invalid he would convene the legislature in extra session to pass one to take its place. TO DOUBLE STRENGTH OF NAVY Daniels' Plans Would Call for Immense Appropriation. Washington—Fifteen to twenty fighting ships of the dreadnought and battle cruiser type, with a proportionate number of sea-going submarines, coast submarines, scout cruisers, destroyers and auxiliaries—enough to make a new American fleet—is contemplated by Secretary Daniels for recommendation as a five-year building program for the United States navy. President Wilson and Secretary Daniels have discussed informally the needs of the navy and are agreed that in order to be adequately prepared for defense the present strength of the fleet must be almost doubled in the next five years, with the addition of many of the latest types of fast and powerful fighting craft. Details as to numbers have not yet been worked out, but the idea of fixing a ratio for a continuing program over a period of five years is the basic principle upon which the general board of the navy and Secretary Daniels now are planning their recommendations. The five-year naval program when completed would add, in addition to dreadnoughts and battle cruisers, nearly a hundred submarines, about seventy destroyers and several scout cruisers and a proportionate number of fuel and hospital ships. An important part of the program, too, will be a proposal for a large increase in personnel. Appropriation for at least 8,000 additional men will be asked for the first year to make up present deficiencies, and an adequate number will be sought to man the new ships built in the five-year period. The total cost of the proposed program for the first year, according to present deficiencies, and an adequate $248,000,000, or about $100,000,000 increase over last year.

With an estimated increase for national defense of about $150,000,000 over last year, together with the cost of new tasks imposed on the state department and other branches of the government by reason of the European war, it is probable the amount of expenditures will be augmented to a total of about $1,240,000,000. If congress agrees to the administration's program for strengthening the army and navy, it will be obliged to provide for additional revenue legislation or the executive branch of the government must issue bonds. Congress is to be asked to pass two revenue measures early in the coming session, one extending the emergency war tax which expires December 21 next, and the other providing for retention of the present duty on sugar beyond next May, when it would go on the free list. Passage of these measures, however, would not increase the present revenues. With both in effect at present there has been a deficit of $35,000,000. 55 DEAD IN LATEST ZEPPELIN RAID Total Deaths From Attacks at London Now 177. London.—Fifty-five persons were killed and fourteen injured in the latest Zeppelin raid over London. Fourteen of the fifty-five persons killed and thirteen of the 114 wounded were military casualties, according to an announcement made by the official press bureau. Some houses were damaged and several fires were started, but no serious damage was caused to military material. All fires were soon gotten under control by the fire brigade. London's latest Zeppelin raid exceeded in the number of casualties any previous attack on the British capital. The raid brings the total to all air raids on England up to 640, of which number 177 persons were killed and 463 injured. SHIP NEGOTIATIONS ARE RESUMED America to Ask Settlement of Germany in Lusitania Case. Washington.—Negotiations with Germany booking to a settlement of the cases of the Lusitania, Cushing, Gulf light and Nebraskan will be resumed this week by Secretary Lansing and Count von Bernstorf, the German ambassador. These cases have been held in abeyance until the torpedoing of the Arabic was disavowed by Germany and preparation promised. In the case of both the American ships Nebraskan and the Gullift, Germany already has expressed regrets and promised to pay damages. The case of the Lusitania presents the greatest difficulty. At the time the vessel was sunk the German commander was understood to be acting in accordance with instructions generally given to sink belligerent ships without warning. Germany expressly disclaimed liability for the loss of neutral lives in such occurrences. State department officials are basing their case on its legal aspects, taking the view that the German naval code issued at the beginning or the war conformed to international law in requiring passengers and crew to be removed to a place of safety. Officials contend as the war zone decree was confessedly a retaliatory measure it could not diminish the legal rights of neutrals and Germany, therefore is liable to pay indemnity for the loss of more than one hundred American lives on the Lusitania.

SCROGGS IN CHARGE System of Lantern Slide Lectures on Variety of Subjects to Be Furnished to County Norman.—The state university of Oklahoma has ceased to limit itself to the teaching of those arts and sciences known only to the man who would have a "higher education." It has ceased even to limit itself to the man or woman who is able to attend the school in person, or who is able to attend any school. It is broadening its influence to include not only the high schools of the state but even the rural schools, and farther than that, the people themselves, of the rural districts. The latest step in this direction is the "visual instruction movement," just starting, which will at the very outset carry stereopticon views and lectures from the outside world to 500 communities in 31 counties in Oklahoma. This it will do at very little expense to the communities themselves, and on the condition that everyone, poor and rich alike, in the communities shall receive equal opportunity to benefit by the movement. Since 87 per cent of all we know comes to us through the use of our eyes, the University has decided that through this medium can instruction and entertainment best be carried to the rural districts. Accordingly, lan- A. B. DR. J. W. SCROGGS, Head of the Extension Division, University of Oklahoma. tern slides are being prepared, hundreds of them, and on a score of subjects. They are to be sent out to rural school districts where views will be thrown on the screen while local people give lectures specially prepared by the University explaining the pictures. From twelve to twenty-four communities are placed on one "circuit," for which a schedule is made out. The luntern slides are sent to the school house first on the schedule, where a local person runs the machine and another gives the explanation to the pictures. Each one of these entertainments is made up of about 72 slides with the lecture that accompanies them. The range is from views taken in Oklahoma as well as elsewhere on better roads, more pleasant home surroundings, improvement of rural school grounds, etc., to views on travel, "Around the World in Eighty Minutes," "Japan," "the Panama Canal," "Our Own National Capital City," "Scenic Wonders of the West," etc. Then an introduction is given to science in its simpler forms through a picture and lecture study of pollenization of flowers, designed to assist the farmer to better fruit growing and interest the rural youth in the wonders of botany and zoology. Other subjects are treated that tend to open up to the people the wonders of their own surroundings. Each community will receive a set of six lectures, one a month. The cost of the service was first announced at $12.00 a community for the slides and lectures. Later, Dr. J. W. Scroggs, in charge of the movement in Oklahoma, found that he could be of service to state advertisers to the extent that they would pay half the cost. In return, three minutes of each entertainment is given over to the showing of advertisement slides. The local community may take an equal time for the showing of local advertisers' slides to further reduce this cost of $6.00. Then this is only a beginning of the movement Dr. Scroggs of the state university, for a score of years an educator in Oklahoma, is carrying on for the betterment of the people of the rural communities. The university is now insisting, later it will require, that each community receiving; the service organize a "community club" that will maintain at least three activities, a debating club, the material for which the university will furnish free; an agricultural club satisfactory to the state Agricultural and Mechanical College.

A school teacher down in Miss. says: "I had been a coffee drinker since my childhood, and the last few years it had injured me seriously. "One cup of coffee taken at breakfast would cause me to become so nervous that I could scarcely go through with the day's duties, and this nervousness was often accompanied by deep depression of spirits and heart palpitation. "I am a teacher by profession, and when under the influence of coffee had to struggle against crossness when in the school room. "When talking this over with my physician, he suggested that I try Postum, so I purchased a package and made it carefully according to directions; found it excellent of flavour, and nourishing. "In a short time I noticed very gratifying effects. My nervousness disappeared, I was not irritated by my pupils, life seemed full of sunshine, and my heart troubled me no longer.

New Augusta, Miss.—In relating her experience, Miss Irene H. Craft, of this town, says: "I have been troubled for a right smart while with female weakness. I was irregular . . . and was down in bed about all the time. I had chills and fever with these troubles for at least a year, and a great deal of dizziness, headache and backache. When I was sick at each month, I had to stay in bed all the time, because my back would ache and my head would swim so that I would almost faint if I stood on my feet. I endured this for about three years. Finally, I began to doctor with a doctor. He did not help me much. Then he recommended Cardul, and I began to take it. I took about one bottle and felt much better. I have taken a whole lot now, and feel just all right. I have no backache, headache, or dizziness now. I think women are foolish to suffer when they can take so helpful a remedy as Cardul, and I surely praise it to every one."

THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS As a result of the sixteenth convention of the National Negro Business league, which recently held its threeday session in Boston, where in 1900 the league was started by Dr. Booker T. Washington and a few like-minded tarsighted colored men, the northern Negro will better understand his southern brother, and the southern Negro will appreciate, even more fully than he has done, how much the South offers him in the form of opportunity to do something worth while, and to become somebody in the life of his community. Out of this better understanding there must come to the race more respect for itself, a greater degree of confidence, a growing determination especially on the part of young men and women, to begin at once to improve their economic condition by practicing greater thrift, pushing out into new fields of business activity and becoming more efficient in their everyday business operations. Seven hundred delegates came together from thirty states, including the District of Columbia. Here were some of the most prosperous members of the Negro race. Yesterday many of them were not only poor in a worldly sense, but they were without any influence for progress in their home communities. Many of these same delegates were hopeless fifteen years ago, so far as thinking that they could succeed in business. The way to economic independence, however was lighted for them by the National Negro Business league. As men with out education and property, they exerted little constructive influence ether on their black or white neighbors Today how different is all this! The heart-throbbing stories of uphill climb through long years of sacrifice, work and faith, which were told with directness, simplicity and sincerity, under a fire of incisive questions from Doctor Washington and others, would make even the critical and hard-headed citizen marvel at the Negro's rare progress during the fifty years of his freedom, and especially during the last two or fifteen years, during which time the pace in business has quickened and competition has become keener. Surely a silent revolution has taken place among American Negroes. Some men in congress, years ago, honestly supposed that Negroes would always be to have be, clothed and sheltered. They were not able to look beyond the days of reconstruction. Today, however, ex-slaves and their children, in many instances, are powerful landlords, rich merchants, level-headed bankers and important community builders. Today the American Negro is a real asset. Today the best white people of the South are thinking of the Negro as a man and are saying it out loud. They realize that education does help to improve the Negro. The National Negro Business league does not claim all the honor of bringing about the splendid transformation which means, for racial understanding and good will, much more to the white citizen of the nation than it does to the millions of colored people. The league has endeavored, however, to encourage Negroes to go into business, apply to their work the highest standards, and depend for patronage not on any color-line appeal but solely on merit. The league through its annual meetings has been a rare inspirational force. It has discovered human beings and has opened the way for the young, the discouraged or the inexperienced, to catch a vision of what real In a sermon that he preached nearly forty years ago in Plymouth church, Henry Ward Beecher declared that one of the influences that had most strangely shaped his life and character was that of an old colored man, Charles Smith, who worked as a hired man on his father's farm when he was a small boy, the Youth's Companion states. "He did not try to influence me; he did not know that he did it; I did not know it until a great while afterward. He used to lie on his humble bed (I slept in the same room with him) and read his Testament, unconscious that I was in the room, and he would talk about what he had read, and chuckle over it, in that peculiar, unctuous throat tone that belongs to his race. I never had heard the Bible really read before; but there, in my presence, he read it and talked about it to himself and to God. He turned the New Testament into living forms right before me. It was a revelation and an impulse to me." But for the little lad ten years old, who listened, first curiously, then At the twelfth annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools emphasis was placed on the need for training the Negro vocationally. It was urged that this training should result in really skilled mechanics and well-prepared farmers. The United States does more to stock its inland waters with edible fish than any other nation. Overtalk tires more people than overwork. success in business means, and how that vision may be fully, if painfully, realized. The league's real work, however, is carried on silently and efficiently through its executive officers who help to organize local business leagues; keep alive the existing leagues, 600 in number; administer the necessary tonic for those leagues that seem ready to faint away; offer helpful suggestions to merchants for reaching available Negro customers and for securing better business methods, and keep, through the press, the best interests of the Negro in business before the American public. Doctor Washington summed up the progress of Negroes in business and indicated that hundreds of thousands of opportunities in business await Negroes who are ready to grasp and capitalize them. That the Negro in business must pay the price of success Doctor Washington frankly admits. That the South is clearly the field for the Negro to make his greatest gains is evident from the testimony of Negroes from the North and the South, as well as from such Southerners as the Rev. Dr. John E. White of Atlanta Ga., and Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanes fund and director of the Slater fund. That Negroes in business, especially the women, are going ahead with a tremendous stride and are meeting with the co-operation of the best white people everywhere should prove encouraging even to those who are inclined to be pessimistic over segregation legislation, lynching and other handicaps.—William Anthony Aery, in Chicago Daily News. There live in Birmingham today many families of Negroes who have been our family friends always, and as we go to their homes we find pictures of "the old white folks" hung conspicuously on their walls; writes Mrs. J. B Reid in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. These remind us that the true type of Negro stands by his white friends today, and the whites value that respect and that friendship as a token of justice one to the other. Wherever we can help each other we are only creating a better world, and that is what progress is working for today. The Negro is striving to make his share of it better like the rest of us. Their homes have a peculiar advantage, and they are availing themselves of the privilege. As they serve in the homes of the white people they catch the phase of life that teaches homemaking; they have the opportunity to study home arrangement, housekeeping economy and good cooking, and the ambitious class is taking these lessons home with them, and are making themselves more comfortable, more cleanly and more healthy, thus better citizens. The Negro teachers are preparing for better service among the parents and children of their race. Booker T. Washington, the leader of the race, is ever on the alert to give opportunity, and in so doing is conserving the interest of both races. The entire plant of a Pennsylvania asphalt block manufacturing concern is mounted on freight cars so that it can be taken wherever there is work for it to do. Unrequited love is one brand of heart failure. But it's never fatal. thoughtfully, to the poor old Negro's devout reading of the Bible, the name of Charles Smith would never have been mentioned beyond his own narrow circle. It is probable that his emotional religion was sometimes actually ridiculed by those who knew him. Had Charles Smith been told that he would bear an influential part in making one of the most famous of American preachers, that his name would be mentioned with reverence in one of the greatest of American churches, and be revived for praise and commendation after forty years, such a result would have seemed to his simple mind quite incredible. It is not unlikely, either, that some humble, unpretending Christian was cheered and encouraged by Mr. Beecher's recital of the incident that day, and that new impulses were started, quite as important and far-reaching as the original one. To many readers of these lines, too, the story will come with a fresh suggestiveness, and the simple faith of a plain, unlettered man may thus influence other lives that Charles Smith never could have dreamed of touching.

There are a lot of four-flushers who go through life without learning that four-flushers is a fine art. Such are beneath contempt. But one has great admiration for those few who have mastered the game. "If a man called me a liar," asserted one of such, "I'd sail in and lick him if he weighed 300 pounds." "Well, you big bluff," answered one who was tired of listening, "I call you, right here and now. You're a liar." "Bluff yourself," came back the artist, without a minute's hesitation. "You don't weight more than 150, and you know what I said."—Hartford Courant. Coming and Going. "Do you have any trouble getting servants out where you live?" "Not a bit.

Cupid Simply Had Repeated and Daughter Preferred to Do as Mother Did Instead of as She Was Being Advised. "Listen to me, Abigail," said Mrs. Wise to her daughter. "Remember, please, that I'm older than you. Wisdom comes only with age." "Yes, mamma." "Why are you so cold to Mr. Willing—so distant?" "Am 1?" "He says so. He has my indorsement as a suitor." "Yes. He proposed." "What answer did you make?" "I declined. But he said he wouldn't take that as final." "Of course not! He'll persist—with my consent, child. Why did you refuse to go motoring with him? He is dissatisfied over your manner, which I fear isn't nice. Has he done anything to offend?" "He wanted to kiss me." He wanted to kiss me. "And didn't? You refused? Child, when a man pays court to a woman—to a girl—and is serious about it—when his intentions are honorable—there's no harm in a kiss." "But, mamma, isn't a kiss something that should be mutual?" "What do you mean?" "Should a girl let a man kiss her when she has no wish to kiss the man?" "Certainly, when the man is a man of character and honorable purposes. You mustn't forget that such a match as you can make isn't the fortune of every girl. If your dear father were with us, he'd advise you as I'm advising you." "Is a girl to marry a man much older than she is because he's honorable and has money?" "Perhaps not solely, dear. But Mr. Willing isn't so old. Only forty-five." "And I'm twenty. When I'm forty-five—which you say isn't so old—and he is still alive, if I should marry him, he will be seventy. Surely that's old enough!" "Abigail! What nonsense! What has arithmetic to do with it?" "But figures tell the truth, mamma. You were twenty when you married papa, weren't you? I think you told me so." "Yes." "And he was twenty-two?" "Yes." "And you were both poor in worldly goods, and grandma wanted you to marry a rich baker, who wanted you—" "But, my child, you don't realize that times and manners are very different now—very different! Now everything is money—everybody wants money—and persons without money are absolutely submerged." "But people fall in love still, don't they—young people?" "They may think they're in love sometimes, child, but life these days dissipates romance. Look at the divorce courts." "But I'm talking about a man I don't care a box of candy about. When you were of my age, you no doubt thought just as I'm thinking now. You've even told me you eloped with papa to escape marrying an old man. You were in love." "You aren't in love. And the situation is different." "Yes. The situation is different. But I am in love." "In love. With whom?" In love with whom? "With Charley Lyman." "That boy? With no money, no position, no—" "But haven't we money enough?" "Fudge! What foolishness! And I let you go to the tennis court with that chap yesterday!" "We didn't go to the tennis court." "Where did you go, then?" "We—we—got married."—Judge. LO3T RELATIVE I am desirous to findl my brother. Last heard of was in Pine Bluff, Ark. Birthplace, Barswell, S.

OLD POLISH CAPITAL OLD POLISH CAPITAL CORRESPONDENT WRITES OF THE CHARMS OF CRACOW. City Has Many Beauties, and its Citizens Are Refined and Gentle—Scenes in the Market Held in the Great Square. Is it not true that cities, like houses, reflect the characters of their inhabitants? Somebody said that Berlin has the air of a rich, well-fed woman who is dressed by the most expensive modistes and has everything that money can buy but never the unpurchasable quality of charm. Now, Cracow is her opposite; she is like a lady of ancient but unhappy race conscious but uncomplaining of her great sorrows; she is fascinating, distinguished, simple. Cracow, small as it is, is the heart of Poland, and in Poland's days of freedom, long ago, was its capital. But the object of this little article is not to relate the tragic history of Poland, but just to give a brief sketch of the simple life in beautiful Cracow, before the war began. In the middle of the town is the great square where stands the splendid church of Our Lady. There is covered market, where the stalls are mostly kept by Jews, but in the open are the peasants from the country with their milk and cheese, vegetables and poultry. The peasants women wear gay-colored clothes and carry huge burdens on their backs, a dozen milk cans, a bundle of brushwood, a bushel of bread baked in great loaves nearly two yards long, in their high clumsy boots they tramp sturdily along, quite able and willing to do a man's work in the world as well as to bear a woman's burden. A indy who visited Cracow shortly before the outbreak of the war was greatly impressed by the burdens borne by people of a little higher rank than the peasant. These burdens were mostly geese—white, long-necked, squawking geese. Every other man, woman and child seemed to be carrying a goose. Sometimes they were carried under the arm of the purchaser. Often under each arm, sometimes in a carpet bag with long neck protruding and the bright, eyes eagerly searching the passers-by as though enjoying the novel ride. Sometimes a basket contained as many as three geese and sometimes they were slung unceremoniously over the shoulder of the owner, their legs tied together and their necks craned up to prevent a rush of blood to the head. Now and then a stout lady would pass with a goose in the ample bosom of her dress or coat, only the head of the fowl showing under her chin. The geese were generally treated with consideration and respect, children stopping to caress their snaky necks. It was hard to believe that these pets were deceived for the pet on the morrow. To be sure there were other things for sale besides geese; rolls of golden butter and leaves of cheese folded together in a way that you never see outside Poland. In another part of the great square is the vegetable market, with its with its --- ```markdown ``` --- --- Mr. E. P. Brittenum has finished gathering corn. He made about 400 bush ls. Owing to the low price he will not put any on the market just now. Bro Brittenam is a good citizen and when he does not make an average crop there is something wrong. Mr. J. W. Simmons was attending to business in Muskogee this week. Dr. A. E. Carter is very busy these days looking after his many patients this week. There is much sickness in the surrounding Country Mrs. L. H. Johnston returned from Tennessee this week, where she has been on a visit to her sick mother. She reports her condition much improved. Dr. L. H. Johnston is now in Memphis, looking after patients and will not return before next week green and purple cabbages, cauliflowers and Brussels sprouts; salify, onions, and dried mushrooms on long strings worn like a necklace over the necks of the vendors. But on goose market day in Crawow the center of the stage belongs to the goose. A few abashed hens were offered for sale or a lonesome turkey, but they seemed to feel they had no right there, and were ready to hide their heads. In the center of the square sat the public weigher with his scales. If an old lady felt that she had been given short weight for half a pound of butter she brought it to him to weigh, and he even took a hand in the disputes about the size and quality of the geese. The people that you see in the streets of Cracow are beautiful to look upon. They do not look rich, but they know how to wear worn clothes with a kind of natural elegance. Then their faces are expressive, clean cut and fine; they know how to walk and how to stand, they are not rude, but gentle. What is to be the destiny of these clever, refined, unfortunate Poles we do not yet know.—Exchange. Notes From Commerce Reports. A German patent has been granted to H.

The quilt which the ladies of the sewing circle have been embroidering has been finished. It was given away after the concert. There were three hundred chances on the beautiful quilt. Some held as many as twenty and thirty and out of the 300 Mr John Harrison received the number which was 101. Everyone was satisfied that it was an honest deal. Sunday after it rained until no one could get to church, it cleared off and the church was filled with strong intelligent men and women. We had beautiful services. Rev. Wiseman preached a wonderful sermon. One young man came crying to the mercy seat. Rev. Wiseman means to take in converts until he is at conference. Mrs. Jenkins of Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Wiseman's mother is in our city. She was the guest of Mrs. Fort yesterday. The members of the A. M. E. church are very anxious for their same pastor. He has done much for the uplifting of the town as well as his own church. The citizens of the town feel that we are in need of him and have planned a petition to conference for his return. Prof. Fort, Principal of Dunbar high school, made a motion that the petition be sent to conference and be drawn up by Lawyer Wallace. Mr. Neal seconded the motion and the petition will be sent. Prof. Fort said it is understood that the members' need for Rev. Wiseman as their pastor is great beyond expression, zut the citizens feel that by his presence in the city they are uplifted and the way to get what we want and really need is to ask for it. That's why we ask for him. The Okmulgee people are preparing to entertain the Baptist convention this week. Miss Beatrice Johnson of Muskegee is training a choir of 75 voices. They are giving a jubilee concert tonight. They wish the home people to hear them first and then they are ready for the visitors. Miss Johnson is a splendid singer.

Mr. Harry Cross, one of the members of Rev. Wiseman's church, prepared an excellent dinner for him at his home last week. He is trying to fill the pastor with chicken, because Rev. Wiseman said he liked to pastor where chickens are plentful. Mr. Cross wants to fool him—pretend that they are plentiful here so his pastor will come back. Will you Tulsa people please not feed him too much chicken while he is at conference?
