VOL.4. Two Aaids Talked of as Logical Candidates for Presidency of Tuskegee Institute. MAJ. MOTON MENTIONEL Warren Logan and Emmet J. Scott, Lieutenants of Negro Educator for Years. Tuskegee, Ala., Dec. 4.—The question of a probable successor to Booker T. Washington as head of the Tuskegee Institute has been frequently discussed here since the funeral of Washington two weeks ago. While there is a desire among the supporters of the school to have a new president named soon, in order that there may be as little interruption as possible in the work of the institute, it is realized that the Board of Trustees having the matter in charge will wait a reasonable time before naming their selection, out of respect to the great Negro educator. It is generally known that trustees are considering the matter informally with leading Negroes and with whites identified with educational problems. The desire to have the various points of view before making a decision is commented upon as showing that the board realizes the importance of the question, and does not intend to select a successor until it has given the whole field a careful study. A definite decision is expected here, however, some time before the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees next February. Discussion of Candidates. In the meantime there is a great deal of unofficial discussion of the question by interested groups. It is generally agreed that the logical candidates are Warren Logan and Emmet J. Scott, who have for years been Dr. Washington's chief lieutenants, or that some outside man should be selected for his national reputation as a leader, educator and administrator, rather than for his intimate association with Tuskegee and its work. Maj. R. R. Moton, commandant at Hampton Institute and Dr. Frissell's right-hand man there, is the only man spoken of as a candidate from this national field. Logan came to Tuskegee in 1883, two years after its foundation, as vice principal and treasurer, and has given a very good account of himself. His work has kept him almost exclusively at the institute, and he is therefore not well known outside of the circle of people who are actively interested in Tuskegee. Scott came to the institute nearly 20 years ago as private secretary to Dr. Washington, later being made secretary of the institute. No one who has followed his work there has anything but praise for the way in which it has been done. He has a wider acquaintance throughout the country than Logan, having been appointed by President Taft as special envoy to Liberia and having served as secretary of the National Negro Business League, a strong and growing organization started by Dr. Washington 15 years ago. Newspaper Men Going to K. C. Prespects Bright for a Large Attendance at The Quill Pushers Meeting in Kansas City This Month. Newspaper Men and, Women from Several States Expected to Be on Hand for Two Days Meeting of the Western Negro Press Association. The meeting of the Western Negro Press Association in Kansas City on the 8th and 29th of this month promises es to be a great success from a standpoint of attendance. Many editors and newspaper writers in several of the states have written expressing their intention to be on hand. Editor Crews, of the Kansas City Sun, who is making all local arrangements for the meeting, sends out the reassurance that all will be in complete readiness for the "Black Phalanx" of "quill pushrts" which he expects to invade his city and that everything will be done to make them long remember their stay in the metropolis of the southwest. Those who expect to attend, and who have not already done so, should write Hon. Nelson C. Crews, editor of the Kansas City Sun, Kansas City, Mo. TULSA, OKLA. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1915. MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR EDITH CAVELL THE QUEEN'S CARRIAGE A scene outside St. Paul's cathedral, London, after the memorial services for the British nurse martyred in Belgium. Among those present who came to pay homage to the memory of Miss Edith Cavell, representatives of every station in life, from the coster to the king and queen of Great Britain, were present. A group of British Red Cross nurses acted as a guard of honor. The Empty Stocking Fund THE TULSA WORLD one of the daily papers of this city following its custom is appealing to the generous public to contribute to the "Empty Stocking Fund." This is a very laudable and commendable work and the Star hopes that the response will be as prompt and liberal as the cause is good, right and just. Those who are blessed with comfortable homes and full stockings for Christmas morning, would do well to remember the hundreds of unfortunates who will not feel the spirit of the blessed yuletide unless the good samaritans of Tulsa remember them. The World office is a depository for the "Empty Stocking Fund." This fund of course will be for the unfortunate white families of Tulsa. Now the Star rises to offer its sanctum as a depository for the "Empty Stocking Fund" for the unfortunate Colored families of Tulsa. Without taking a single penny from the funds intended for the unfortunate white families, we hope the general public, and especially the friends of the unfortunates, to respond liberally to this fund. There are quite a number of poor families in Tulsa, white and Colored, but a deal more Colored, and we want to see every one of them made happy Christmas morning—if a big Christmas basket will make them happy. Please help the cause and thereby increase your own happiness for Christmas morning. Make all checks to The Tulsa Star with a natation "For Empty Stocking Fund." If you have anything else to give, phone 931 will bring a boy for it. Another tragedy was enacted on the corner of Greenwood and Archer last Sunday night when Henry (Gander) Whiteman was shot and almost instantly killed by Mary White. The woman had some words with Joe Taylor, a keeper of a restaurant on the corner of Archer and Greenwood, and went out, returning in a short while with a revolver. "Gander" met her at the door and attempted to keep her from re-entering the place. A shot rang out and the would-be peace-maker ran across the street and fell with a bullet through his juglar vein. The White woman is now in the county jail. Lest you forget—we say it yet—you can get four magazines for one year by renewing your subscription to The Star.

SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR Great Curiosity is This "Thing" Great Curiosity is This "Thing" Dermoid Cyst Now On Exhibition in the Star Office Attracts Many Curious Women and Some Men. The Tulsa Star of last week published a story of a wonderful surgical operation performed on a Tusa woman by Dr. L. H. Johnson, a Colored physician of Coweta, extracting a "dermoid cyst" which had been confined in the woman's abdomen for 15 years, and informing the public that the little specimen of humanity had been left in the Star office to be shown to any one who wanted to see it. Since the last issue of the Star fully 1500 people have visited the office to see the little "curiosity" and they are still coming. Although this incident or the publication was not intended for an advertisement, it shows conclusively that it pays to ad vertise. Subscribe Complains of Frisco Train Service Dear Mr. Editor.—Allow me space in your paper to tell of my experience on the Jim Crow train between Okla. City and Tulsa. When I boarded the train I had a severe headache. I found on the train several ladies of very refined appearance, and enough men to fill up the coach, except the four seats in the rear, two of them were occupied by the conductor and his outfit and the other two were occupied by the porter with his hand bag locked to the arm of one of them. So my friend and I finding the porter out on the platform we took him two seats as all of the others were occupied. I shall now endorah to give you a description of this dirty inadequate one third of a coach. It was as flithy as a hog pen and as hot as the hinges of ten lower regions, one toilet not fit for a respectable man for the use of both men and women. The conductor and butch both used it and each time left the seats covered with water. The coach was full of tobacco smoke. The conductor smoked his cigarettes on the back seat and half of the men in the coach were smoking cigars, others pipes, which could almost walk alone, and cigarettes, immitating the conductor. As smoke always intensifies my headache I said please Mr. Conductor, have we not a ladies coach on this train, the fumes from this smoke is killing me, and these ladies are very much dissatisfied with such treatment and feel that they ought to have better accommodation. His reply was that "the company does not furnish smoking cars for niggers, and if you don't like this fare you can get off." I want to say right here: I wonder why there are not more outlaws among our people. Such law as the Jim Crow law is designed to make outlaws We love our women as well as Mr. White Man loves him; ours are insulted, abused and have to associate with men using the same toilets and are compelled to set in smoking coaches filled with the fetid smoke that comes from the mouths of the conductor, butch, and that class of Colored fellows that have no respect for their women, what fair minded man, born of free parents, would approve of such treatment. We pay first class fare, why not first class accommodations? I would rather be a dog and live on the mercurial vapor of a dungeon than to be a man and stand such treatment H. BOOKMAN PAYS PENALTY Goes to Death Chanting Prayer For His Weary Soul We must demand fair play in this us we will take it in time, if it is necessary for every Colored man in Oklahoma to shed his blood for that purpose. The laws of the state provides that the accommodations for the races shall be equal on railroad trains. All we ask is that the laws be enforced. It never was intended by Almighty God for one race of people to forever keep another in subjection by denying it of those God given rights, the rights of life, liberty and the persuasions of happiness. If that be true the day of reconing is sure to come. It mav come from within, but if not it is sure to come from without. And when it does there will not be one self respecting race loving Colored man in to fight for this hissrul cmfwyp cmfwyp the South that will take up arms to fight for this white man's country, with its boasted civilization. I do not doubt Haiti with her undying love for this white man's country may come to her relief for the same forces are at work in Haiti today that have brot about our undoling, and it will only be a question of time before Uncle Sam with all his prejudices against our people will be treating the citizens of Haiti like he treated the Colored people of the Southland. A SUBSCRIBER, Kings' Daughter Commend Negro Solders American Negro Soldier Protecta Himself With Rabbit's Foot Charm. Paris, December 8th.—Mrs. E. S. Douglas, an American woman, in charge of hospital for wounded soldiers in Paris, France, writes thus of a recent visit to the hospital by the sister of the King of Belgium: An incident of Queen Amelie's visit the other day was her noticing particularly our American negro, who was recently brought to the hospital His black face showing above the red blanket presents a study in rouge et noir, his white teeth relieving it. The queen stopped at his bed and, after inquiring his nationality, said: "You were fortunate not to have been wounded in the head and to have kept your teeth," which made Brown smile wider than ever. This colored man has become quite a character in the ambulance. I asked him how he, an American, happened to join the Foreign Legion and he said: "Well, they told me it would only last six months and I always did have a lot of curiosity, but I guess I got cured this time and earned that so a day ducking the bullets." "Why," he said, "that gas comes in three varieties; the kind that comes in black clouds, another that comes in yellow-greenish clouds, and in bombs, the kind that hit my back. Any of them will turn a white man blacker than me." When I told him he was lucky to be alive, he said: "Lucky! Why I'se always lucky. You see there ain't no charm like the left hind foot of a rabbit and I brought mine from good old America. That's why I happen to be here in his hospital, taken care of by Americans."

PAYS PENALTY Chanting Prayer Yeary Soul In a Conversation to the Editor of the Tulsa Star Over the Telephone, Governor Williams Says He Did Not Believe the Condemned Man Was Insane—and Even If He Was "I Am Going to Show the People of this State That I Meant What I Said in My Campaign." At an early hour yesterday morning in the state prison at McAlester, a Colored man, Henry Bookman, paid the death penalty in the electric chair for the killing of Richard Hardy, a white man, at Eufaula, on the 2nd day of April, 1915. Bookman was the first man to die in the electric chair in Oklahoma, and the first to be legally put to death in any manner since Gov. Cruce was inaugurated more than four years ago. Gov. Cruce was opposed to capital punishment and never allowed the death sentence to be carried out during his administration. Gov. Williams, however, seems to be void of that high sense of Christian duty which actuated his predecessor, since he made his maple on the capital punishment policy. The editor of the STAR called the Governor by phone Wednesday morning to find out if the Clief Executive intended to allow the death penalty to be inflicted. Following is the conversation which took place between Governor Williams and Editor Smith-erman: Ed. "Hello, Governor." Gov. "Hello." Ed. "How are you feeling this morning?" Gov. "Who is this?" Ed. "This is the editor of The Tulsa Star." Gov. "Oh, yes; well, I'm feeling alright. How are you?" Ed. "Fairly well. Governor, I have called you to find out if you will extend executive clemency in the case of Henry Bookman, who is to be put to death Friday morning." Gov. "I haven't yet." Ed. "That much I know, Governor; but do you intend to?" Gov. "I know of no reasons why I should." Ed. "It is claimed by some, Governor, that Bookzaan is insane and——" Gov. "Yes, they all pretend to be insane after they are convicted and sentenced to die, you know. I have talked to parties about him and I don't believe he is insane, but of course, it's enough to run him crazy." Ed. "But Governor, do you think a sanity commission should pass on his case." Gov. "No, I do not think the taxpayers should be put to any further expense. Nothing has been brought to my attention to justify any action on my part." Ed. "You would not permit an insane man to be executed would you, Governor?" Gov. "Well, I don't know. It might be a good thing for society to execute some of these crazy fellows who have a mania for killing peole." Ed. "Then you will not intervene to save the man's life, even if he's crazy?" Gov. "Oh, he's not crazy, and—well, I'm governor, and I'm going to show the people of this state that I meant what I said in my campaise." With this the conversation between the governor and the editor ended. Bookman is a poor boy without money. John R. McBeth, Colored lawyer of Eufaula, was appointed by the trial judge to defend him and it is said made an excellent defense for his client under the circumstances. Since that time he has done everything possible to save him from death but his best efforts have been in vain. Following is a brief history of the Bookman case: Brief History of Bookman Murder Case. (As told by one the scene at Eufaula.) Friday, April 2nd, 1915, Henry Bookman was at work in the field of George Booth, a Colored man, for whom he had been working as "farm laborer" for more than a year—together with his employer, when he became (Continued on Page 4) PAGE TWO ASKS ADEQUATE DEFENSE FOR U.S. President Wilson Pleads for Preparedness Against Foes Abroad and Within. MESSAGE READ TO CONGRESS Larger Army and Navy Urged—Trained Citizenry the Nation's Greatest Defense — Disloyal Acts of Foreign-Born Citizens S scored—No Fear of War. Washington, Dec. 7.—At a joint session of the house and senate the president today delivered his annual message. He said in part as follows: Since I last had the privilege of addressing you on the state of the Union the war of nations on the other side of the sea, whih' had then only begun to disclose its portentous proportions, has extended its threatening and sinister scope until it has swept within its flame some portion of every quarter of the globe, not exceeding our hemisphere, has altered the whole face of international affairs, and now presents a direct object of reorganization and reconstruction such as statemen and peoples have never been called upon to attempt before. We have stood apart, studiously neutral. It was our manifest duty to do so. In the day of readjustment and recuperation we earnestly hope and believe that we can be of infinite service. In this neutrality, to which they were bound to respond to separate life and their habitual deachment from the politics of Europe but also by a clear perception of international duty, the states of America have become conscious of a new and more vital community of interest and moral partnership in affairs, more clearly conscious of the many common sympathies and interests and duties which bid them stand together. We have to test in the case of Mexico, and we have stood the test. Whether we have benefited Mexico by the course we have pursued remains to be seen. Her fortunes are in her own hands. But we have at least proved that we will not take advantage of her in her distress and undertake to impose upon her an order and government of our own choosing. Our aid and befriend Mexico, but we will not coerce her; and our course with regard to her ought to be sufficient proof to all America that we seek no political suzerainty or selfish control. Not Hostile Rivals. The moral is, that the states of America are not hostile rivals, but co-operating friends, and that their growing sense of community of interest, alike in matters political and in matters economic, is likely to give them a new significance. It is also that they are in and in the political history of the world. It presents them as in a very deep and true sense a unit in world affairs, spiritual partners, standing together because thinking together, quick with common sympathies and common ideals. Separated from the conflicted politics of a world of hostile rivalries, united in spirit and purpose they cannot be disappointed of their peaceful destiny. This is Pan-Americanism. It has none of the spirit of empire in it. It is the embodiment, the effectual embodiment, of the unity of independence and liberty and mutual service. There is, I venture to point out, an especial significance just now attaching to this whole matter of drawing the Americas together in bonds of honorable partnership and mutual advantage because of their shared history. The world must inevitably witness within the next generation, when peace shall have at last resumed its healthful tasks. In the performance of these tasks I believe the Americas to be destined to play their parts together, am interested to fix the problem on the particular matter cause unless you take it within your view and permit the full significance of It to command your thought I cannot find the right light in which to set forth the particular matter that lies at the very front of my whole thought as I address you today. I mean national defense. No one who really comprehends the spirit of the great people for whom we are appointed to speak can fail to perceive that their passion is for peace, their genius best displayed in the practice of the arts of peace. Great democracies are not belligerent. They do not seek or desire war. Their thought is of individual empowerment and the free expression of life and the unrestrained thought that quickens it. Conquest and dominion are not in our reckoning, or agreeable to our principles. But just because we demand unmolested development and the undisturbed government of our own lives upon our own principles of right and liberty, we resent, from whatever quarter it may come, the aggression we ourselves will not practice. We insist upon security in prosecute our self-chosen lines of nationalism, from whatever quarter it may come. We demand it also for others. We do not confine our enthusiasm for individual liberty and free national development to the incidents and movements of affairs which affect only ourselves. We feel it wherever there is a people that tries to walk in these difficult paths of independence and right. From the first we have made common cause with all partisans of liberty on this side of the sea, and have deemed it as important that we all be outside domination as that we ourselves should be; have set America as a whole for the uses of independent nations and political freemen. Might to Maintain Right. Out of such thoughts grow all our policies. We regard war merely as a means of asserting the rights of a people against aggression. And we are as fiercely jealous of coercive or dictatorial power within our own nation as of aggression from without. We will not maintain a standpoint of necessity in times of peace as in times of war; and we shall always see to it that our military peace establishment is no longer than is actually and continuously needed for the uses of days in which no enemies move against us. But we believe in a body of free citizens ready and of the governments which they have set up to serve them. In our constitutions themselves we have commanded that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," and our confidence has been that our safety in times of danger would lie in the rising of the enemy itself, as the farmers rose at Lexington. But war has never been a mere matter of men and guns. It is a thing of disciplined might. If our citizens are ever to fight effectively upon a sudden summons, they must know how modern fighting is done, and what to do when the summons comes to render themselves immediately available and immediately effective. And the government must be their servant in this matter, must supply them with the training they need to take care of themselves and of it. The military arm of their government, which they will not allow to direct them, they may properly be called the independent security—and not their own independence merely but the rights also of those with whom they have made common cause, should they also be put in jeopardy. They must be fitted to play the great role in the world, and particularly in this hemisphere, for which they are qualified to be capable and by chastened amition to play. It is with these ideals in mind that the plana of the department of war for more adequate national defense were conceived which will be laid before you, and which I urge you to sanction and put into effect as soon as they can be properly scrutinized and discussed. They seem to me the essential aim, and they seem to me for the present sufficient. They contemplate an increase of the standing force of the regular army from its present strength of 5,023 officers and 102,998 enlisted men of all services to a strength of 7,136 officers and 154,707 enlisted men, or 141,843, all told, all services, rank and file, by the addition of 52 companies of coast artillery, 15 companies of engineers, ten regiments of infantry, four regiments of field artillery, and ten regiments of naval corps, which are required for a great variety of extra service, especially the all-important duty of training the citizen force of which I shall presently speak. 192 non-commissioned officers for service in drill, recruiting and the like, and the necessary quota of enlisted men for the quartermaster corps, the hospital corps, the ordnance department and other similar auxiliary services. These are the additions necessary to render the army adequate for its present duties, duties which it has to perform not only upon our own counterparts but also upon our auxiliary arms, but also in the Philippines, in the Hawaiian islands, at the lathmus and in Porto Rico. Force of Trained Citizens. Force of Trained Citizens. By way of making the country ready to assert some part of its real power occasionally, the police should occasion arise, the plan also contentiously supplementing the army by a force of 400,000 disciplined citizens, raised in increments of 232,000 a year throughout a period of three years. This it is proposed to do by a process of enlistment under which the serviceable men of the country would be asked to bind themselves to serve with the colors for purposes of training for short periods throughout the year, as well as to no longer call at any time throughout an additional "furling" period of three years. This force of 400,000 men would be provided with personal accoutrements as fast as enlisted and their equipment for the field made ready to be supplied at any time. They would be assembled for training at stated intervals at convenient places in association with suitable units of the police force. The annual training would not necessarily exceed two months in the year. It would depend upon the patriotic feeling of the younger men of the country whether they responded to such a call to service or not. It would depend upon the patriotic spirit of the employers of the country whether they made it possible for the younger men in their employ to respond under favorable conditions or not. I, for one, do not doubt the patriotic devotion either of our young employers or of our employment—those for whose benefit and protection they would in fact enlist. Program for the Navy. The secretary of the navy is asking also for the immediate addition to the personnel of the navy of 7,500 sailors, 2,500 apprentice seamen, and 1,500 marines. This increase would be sufficient to care for the ships which are to be completed within the fiscal year 1917 and also for the number of men which must be put in training to man the ships which will be deployed in the fleet. It is necessary that the number of midshipmen at the naval academy at Annapolis should be increased by at least 300 in order that the force of officers should be more rapidly added to; and authority is asked to appoint for engineering duties only, approved graduates of engineering colleges, and for service in the aviation corps a certain number of men taken from civil life. If this full program should be carried out we should have built or building in 1921, according to the estimates of survival and standards of classification followed by the general board of the department, an effective navy consisting of 37 battleships of the first line, six battle cruisers, 25 battleships of the second line, ten armored cruisers, 13 sact cruisers, five first-class cruisers, three second-class cruisers, ten third-class cruisers, 108 detroyers, 18 fleet submarines, 157 coast submarines, six monitors, 20 gunboats, four supply ships, 15 fuel ships, four transports, 15 cargo ships, eight vessels of special types, and two ammunition ships. This would be a navy fitted to our needs and worthy of our traditions. Trade and Shipping. But armies and instruments of war are only part of what has to be considered if we are to consider the supreme matter of national self-sufficiency and security in all its aspects. There are other great matters which will be thrust upon our attention whether we will or not. There are other great matters of trade and shipping involved in this great problem of national adequacy. It is necessary for many weighty reasons of national efficiency and development that we should have a great merchant marine. The great merchant fleet we once used to make us rich, that great body of people we have been able into every sea, and who were the pride and often the bulwark of the nation, we have almost driven out of existence by inexhaustible neglect and indifference by a hopelessly blind and provincial policy of so-called economic protection. It is high time we repaired our mistake and our commercial independence on the seas. For it is a question of independence. If other nations go to war or seek to hamper each other's commerce, our merchants, it seems, are at their mercy, to do with as they please. We must use their ships, and use them as they determine. We have not ships enough of our own. We cannot handle our own commerce on the seas. Our independence is our own right. Our independence is our own borders. We are not likely to be permitted to use even the ships of other nations in rivalry of their own trade, and are without means to extend our commerce even where the doors are wide open and our goods desired. Such a situation is not to be endured. It is or capital importance not only that the United States should enjoy on the seas and enjoy the economic independence which only an adequate merchant marine would give it, but also that the American hemisphere as a whole should enjoy a like independence and self-sufficiency, if it is not to be drawn into the tangle of European affairs. Without such independence the whole question of our political unity and self-determination is very seriously clouded and complicated indeed. and naptha would estimated production 50 cents per horse and internal explosion or capital importance not only that the United States should enjoy on the seas and enjoy the economic independence which only an adequate merchant marine would give it, but also that the American hemisphere as a whole should enjoy a like independence and self-sufficiency, if it is not to be drawn into the tangle of European affairs. Without such independence the whole question of our political unity and self-determination is very seriously clouded and complicated indeed. Moreover, we can develop no true or effective American policy without ships of our own—not ships of war, but ships of peace, carrying goods and carrying much more! creating friendships and rendering indispensable services to all interests of the American people, move constantly back and forth between the Americas. They are the only shuttles that can weave the delicate fabric of sympathy, comprehension, confidence and mutual dependence in which we clothe our policy of America for Americans. Ships Are Needed. The task of building up an adequate merchant marine for America private capital must ultimately undertake and achieve, as it has undertaken and achieved every other like task amongst us in the past, with admirable enterprise, intelligence and vigor; and it seems to me a manifest dictate of wisdom that we should promptly remove every legal obstacle to the establishment of a much to be desired revival of our old independence and should facilitate in every possible way the building, purchase and American registration of ships. But capital cannot accomplish this great task of a sudden. It must embark upon it by degrees, as the opportunities of trade develop. Something must be done at once; done to open routes and develop equipment; done to open the arteries of trade where the currents have not yet learned to run—especially between the two American continents, where they are, singularly enough, yet to be created and quickened; and it is evident that only the government can undertake such beginnings and assume the initial financial risks. When the risk has passed and private capital to find its way in sufficient abundance in the country, the government may withdraw. But it cannot omit to begin. It should take the first steps and should take them at once. Our goods must not lie piled up at our ports and stored upon sidetracks in freight cars which are daily needed on the roads; must not be left without means of transport to any foreign quarter. We must have the mission of foreign ship owners and foreign governments to send them where we will. With a view to meeting these pressing necessities of our commerce and availing ourselves at the earliest possible moment of the present unparalleled opportunity of linking the two Americas together in bonds of mutual interest and service, an opportunity which may never return is being made to be made to the present congress for the purchase or construction of ships to be owned and directed by the government similar to those made to the last congress, but modified in some essential particulars. I recommend these proposals to you for your prompt acceptance with the more confidence because every month that has elapsed since the former pro-gram has made the necessity for such action more and more manifestly imperative. Question of Finance. The plans for the armed forces of the nation which I have outlined, and for the general policy of adequate preparation for mobilization and defense, involve of course very large additional expenditures of money—expenditures which will considerably exceed the estimates of the military. I estimate my duty by law, whenever the estimates of expenditure exceed the estimates of revenue to call the attention of the congress to the fact and suggest any means of meeting the deficiency that it may be wise or possible for me to suggest. I am ready to believe that it would be more satisfactory to limit the earlier lound to speak of the matter when it appears that the deficiency will arise directly out of the adoption by the congress of measures which I myself urge it to adopt. Allow me, therefore, to speak briefly of the present state of the treasury and of the fiscal problems with the next year will probably disclose. On the thirtieth of June last there was an available balance in the general fund of the treasury of $104,170,105.78. The total estimated receipts for the year 1916, on the assumption that the emergency revenue measure passed by the last congress will not be extended beyond its present limit, the thirty-first of December, 1916, and that the present duty of the treasury will be increased to $70,355,105.78, continued after the first of May, 1916, will be $70,355,105.78. The balance of June last and these estimated revenues come, therefore, to a grand total of $774,535,605.78. The total estimated disbursements for the present fiscal year, including $25,000,000 for the Panama canal, $12,000,000 for probable deficiency appropriations and $0,000 for miscellaneous debt redemptions, will be $733,891,000, and the balance in the treasury will be $612,000,000, due to $9,644,604.78. The emergency revenue act, if continued beyond its present time limitation, would produce, during the half year then remaining, about forty-one millions. The duty of one cent per pound on sugar, if continued, would produce during the two months of the fiscal year remaining after the first of May, about fifteen millions. These two sums, amounting together to $56,000,000 if added to the revenues of the second month, would yield the treasury at the end of the year an available balance of $76,644,604.78. The additional revenues required to carry out the program of military and naval preparation of which I have spoken, would, as at present estimated, be for the fiscal year 1917, $38,806,000. Those figures, taken with the figures for the present fiscal year which I have already given, disclose our financial problem for the year 1917. How shall we obtain the new revenue? It seems to me a clear dictate of prudent statesmanship and frank finance that in what we are now, I hope, about to undertake we should pay as we go. We should pay as we go, know just what burdens of taxation they are to carry, and to know from the usset, now. The new bills should be paid by internal taxation. To what sources, then, shall we turn? We would be following an almost universal example of modern governments if we were to draw the greater part or even the whole of the revenues we need from the income taxes. By somewhat lowering the present limits of exemption and the figure at which the surtax shall begin to be imposed, and by increasing, the surtax itself, the present taxation, the surtax itself, the income taxes as at present apportioned would yield sums sufficient to balance the books of the treasury at the end of the fiscal year 1917 without anywhere making the burden unreasonably or oppressively heavy. The precise reckonings are fully and accurately set out in the report of the secretary of the treasury, which will be immediately laid before you. And there are many additional sources of income that will be best reserved to without hampering the industries of the country or putting any too great charge upon individual expenditure. A one per cent tax per gallon on gasoline and napha would yield, at the present estimated production, $10,000,000; a tax of 50 cents per horsepower on automobiles and internal explosion engines, $25,000,000; a stamp tax on bank checks, probably $18,000,000; a tax of 25 cents per ton on pig iron, $10,000,000; a tax of 50 cents per ton on fabricated iron and steel, probably $10,000,000. In a country of great industries like this it ought to be easy to distribute the burdens of taxation without making them anywhere bare too heavy or too exclusively upon a set of persons or individuals. What is it, that the industry of this generation should pay the bills of this generation The Danger Within. I have spoken to you today, gentlemen, upon a single theme, the thorough preparation of the nation to care for its own security and to make sure of entire freedom to play the impartial role in this hemisphere and in the world which we all believe to have been providentially assigned to it. I have had in mind no thought of any immediate or particular danger arising out of our relations with other nations. We are at peace with all the nations of the world that no question in controversy between this and other governments will lead to any serious breach of amicable relations, grave as some differences of attitude and policy have been and may yet turn out to be. I am sorry to say that the gravest threats against our national peace and safety have been uttered within our own borders. There are citizens of the United States, I blush to admit, born under other flags to be welcomed in our country, that no question has to the full freedom and opportunity of America, who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life; who have sought to bring the authority and good name of our government into contempt, to destroy our industries wherever they thought it effective for their vindictive purposes to strike at them, and to debase our politics to the uses of foreign intrigue. Their numbers is not great as compared with the numbers of our nation has been enriched in recent generations out of virile foreign stocks; but we may be purged of their corrupt distempers. America never witnessed anything like this before. It never dreamed it possible that men would be drawn out of great free stocks such as supplied some of the best and strongest elements of that little, but how heroic, nation that in a high day of old staked its very life to free itself from every entanglement that had darkened the fortunes of the older nations and set up a new standard here—that men of such origins and such free choices of allegiance would ever turn in mallign reaction against the government and people who seek to make this proud country once a hotbed of European passion. A little while ago such a thing would have seemed incredible. Because it was incredible we made no preparation for it. We would have been almost ashamed to prepare for it, as if we were suspicious of ourselves, our own cemembs and neighbors. But the ugly and incredible has actually been the cause of federal laws to deal with it. I urge you to enact such laws at the earliest possible moment and feel that in so doing I am urging you to do nothing less than save the honor and self-respect of the nation. Must Be Crushed Out. Such creatures of passion, disloyalty and anarchy must be crushed out. They are not many, but they are infinitely malignant, and the hand of our power should close over them at once. They have sought to pry into conspiracies that have entered into conspiracies against the neutrality of the government, they have sought to pry into every confidential transaction of the government in order to serve interests alien to our own. It is possible to deal with these things very easily, but the terms in which they may be dealt with. I wish that it could be said that only a few men, misled by mistaken sentiments of allegiance to the governments under which they were born, had been guilty of disturbing the self-possession and misrepresenting the temper and principles of the country during these days of terrible war, when it would seem that every man who was a citizen of the country must sinctively make it his duty and his pride to keep the scifles of judgment even and prove himself a partisan of no nation but his own. But it cannot. There are some men among us, and many resident abroad who, though born and bred in the United States and calling themselves Americans, have so forgotten themselves and their country, and have passionate sympathy with one or the other side in the great European conflict above their regard for the peace and dignity of the United States. They also preach and practice disloyalty. No laws, I suppose, can reach corruptions of the mind and heart; but I should not speak of others without also speaking of these men, and the scorn which every self possessed and thoughtfully patriotic America must feel when he thinks of them and of the discredit they are dally bringing upon us. Many conditions about which we have repeatedly legislated are being altered from decade to decade, it is evident, under our very eyes, and are likely to change even more rapidly and more radically in the days immediately ahead of us, when peace has returned to the world and nations of Europe once more take up their responsibilities, and the energy of those who must bestir themselves to build anew. Just what these changes will be no one can certainly foresee or confidently predict. There are no calculable, because no stable, elements in the problem. The most we can do is to make certain that we have the necessary instrumentalities of information constantly at our service so that we may be sure that we know exactly what we are dealing with when we come to act, if it should be necessary to act at all. We must first certainly know what it is that we want to do, and may ask the privilege of addressing you more at length on this important matter a little later in your session. Transportation Problem. The transportation problem is an exceedingly serious and pressing one in this country. There has from time to time of late been reason to fear that our railroads would not much longer be able to cope with it successfully as at present equipped and co-ordinated. I suggest that it would be wise to provide for a commission of inquiry to ascertain by a thorough canvass of the whole question whether our laws as at present framed and administered are as serviceable as they might be in the solution of the problem. It is obviously a problem that lies at the very foundation of our efficiency and people. Start an inquiry to draw out every circumstance and doubt worth considering and we need to know all sides of the matter if we mean to do anything in the field of federal legislation. For what we are seeking now, what in my mind is the single thought of this message, is national efficiency and security. We serve a great nation. We should serve it in the spirit of its peculiar genius. It is the genius of common men for self-government, industry, justice, liberty and peace. We should see to it that no insults are in no place, no facility or vigor of the nation to take part with energy, safety, and assured success. In this we are no partisans but heralds and prophets of a new age. Home Undertaking Co. No.2 Open Day and Night Remember us in your sorrow. H. W. RAGDALES, Mgr PHONE 4280 114 N.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS. Contrary to all rules and advice of our forefathers white woolen blankets, sweaters and wool underwear will not shrink or become yellow if washed in water as hot as the hand can bear it, and use plenty of soap, rinse thoroughly and hang out in any kind of pleasant weather. The trouble with flannels many times is blankets, sweaters and wool underwear will not shrink or become yellow if washed in water as hot as the hand can bear it, and use plenty of soap, rinse thoroughly and hang out in any kind of pleasant weather. The trouble with flannels many times is that they are not washed thoroughly or not rinsed well. Plenty of hot suds is the secret. Salsoda is cheap and should be used in hot water to flush all pipes at least once a week. It removes the grease from the kitchen sink drain, and keeps it clean. Carrot, that wholesome vegetable which is so little appreciated, will have one more good way to serve if the following is tried: Put carrots through a meat chopper, then cook in boiling water until tender, salting toward the end of the cooking. Drain and add butter, a dash of cayenne and a little lemon juice. Serve with a roast of any kind and see how your family will enjoy the dish. Put candies to be used on the dinner table into the ice chest or out of doors in winter to freeze; they will then burn without dripping. In roasting spare ribs if cider is used to baste the meat instead of water, the flavor will be more delicious. Many up-to-date laudresses, especially in the winter, iron their table linen right from the wringer, using warm water for rinsing. This saves the wear of linen and the dampness gives it just the right stiffness. When it is necessary to use oranges for slicing, peel off the thin yellow peeling and put the oranges away to dry for an hour or two, then the white part will come off easily, leaving the orange clean and ready for slicing. Thin slices of banana placed between slices of buttered brown bread and placed in the oven until the bread is toasted will make delicious hot sandwiches for an invalid, especially although well people will make them disappear more quickly. THE WINTER BERRY. Cranberries are so well liked and are so appetizing served in different ways that a few ways to serve them, will not come amiss. When you want something pretty as well as delicious serve with your roast the following sheer. C Cranberry Sherbet. Cranberry should be carefully looked over, and after cooking put into glass or stoneware to mold. If one cares to have them strained they may be put through a sleeve as soon as they are cooked, then mold in any desired form. For the sherbet take four cupfuls of stewed cranberry juice, add the strained juice of six oranges and four cupfuls of sugar; freeze until mushy, then add the whites of four eggs beaten stiff, and finish freezing. Cranberry Frappe.—Boll a quart of cranberries and two cupfuls of water for ten minutes. Strain through a cheese cloth, add two cupfuls of sugar and boil until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Add the strained juice of two lemons and if it seems too tart add more sugar. Freeze to a mush and serve in sherbet cups with roast turkey. Cranberry Pudding.—Put a quart of berries on the fire to stew with sufficient water, drop small spoonfuls of batter over the berries, when they begin to boil cover and steam for 20 minutes. Serve with sugar and cream. Make the batter by using a cupful of flour, a half teaspoonful of salt, a beaten egg and half a cupful of milk. Drop by teaspoonfuls on the boiling berries. Cranberry Conserve.—Pick over five pounds of berries and chop them rather coarse. Add two pounds of raisins put through the meat chopper, the rind of four oranges which has been cooked until tender and then chopped, add the juice of five oranges and ten cupfuls of sugar. Cook until like jam. This makes an excellent relish for meat. Cranberry pie needs no recommendation for it is universally liked. Make with strips of pastry forming a lattice work over the pie, instead of a solid crust. R LADIES OF FA A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of Jun Latee Na Friends of the Tulsa GRAY AND YELLOW INDIRECT LIGHTING GIVES PRET TY EFFECT IN ROOM. Silk and Lace Bags Inclose Lights Giving Mellow Glow That Brings Out the Color Scheme of Apartment. If you walked into a certain room I know, you would think it belonged to the lady Alice Meynell must have meant in her shepherdess poem, she with the flock of white thoughts. This room has a pale silvery gray wall. But it doesn't shine. The wood- work is gray, too. And so is the furniture. But the furniture has delicate yellow cane insets. And they give the keynote for the color in the room. The rug is Chinese. Do you know the lovely color of these rugs? They always seem to me quite old—and pre- cious. This rug is gray and gold and blue. The windows have curtains of the finest white silk (pepe. These are hung to the sills. The window draperies are of the Chinese cretonne, in yellow and ivory, lined with gray silk. The draw curtains, which hide behind these, and which take the place of the ordinary window shades, are of corded blue silk, matching the blue in the rug. Two of the chairs have upholstered seats, which are covered in the cretonne, the backs (by which is meant the rear upholstery), are covered with a light old-blue velour. But just wait until I come to the lights! On either side of her dressing table this lady has two bags. In these bags the lady keeps her lights—or, at least, two of them. Someone made these bags for her, without so very much trouble, too. First of all, the wire frame must be made to order. It will cost fifty cents or seventy-five cents, according to the size. In this particular case the wire was covered with yellow silk. Then yellow silk was used for the bag's outside. One strip was fulled on the top rim of wire, then pulled down straight and fulled on the middle horizontal wire. Another piece of yellow silk was fulled on to the middle wire and then pulled back to the bottom on a line with where the wall would be, when it is bunched into quite a small space. All the yellow silk is covered with white lace. The top part is of lace edging. The lower part may be tacked on separately or fulled in with the silk A itself. The upper part of the bag is garnished with small silk roses in various shades of blue and yellow. The lowest point is supplied with a heavy tarnished gold tassel ornament. The bag, which, while rounded out semicircularly in the front, is parallel with the wall in the back, suspends on three wires from a brass hook in the wall. These wires may be, all three, electric wires, in which case three bulk lights may be within the bag, or just one of the wires need be electric, resulting in the use of one light. All wires are covered with tarnished gold bullion braid. The braid is twisted into a decorative bow or rosette as a top finish. Now, can't you imagine how beautiful these bag lights are when all aglow? Some are made more plainly, without the lace. And of all the colors, I think deep rose is the very prettiest. White taffeta trims some of the most successful sheer white frocks, and this silk is often used very liberally in such combinations, without detracting from the simplicity of the frock. Little pinked frills of white taffeta are used in profusion on one model of finest white voile. Another sheer frock of net is trimmed in graduated bands of taffeta from hem to hip ahd has an odd sleeveless little overbasque of taffeta with a full narrow peplum below the cord that marks the waist line.

Our Welsh friends have made a hot dish which might be called buttermilk soup and is considered a great treat by them, but it comes as a surprise to large numbers of people in cities and in the country that so many dainty dishes may be produced from buttermilk. We read of the sour-milk soup and is considered a great treat by them, but it comes as a surprise to large numbers of people in cities and in the country that so many dainty dishes may be produced from buttermilk. We read of the sour-milk cure for purifying the alimentary canal, this led to the study of buttermilk, which was for a long time not at all appreciated. Buttermilk cheese is now a favorite dish in many of our college towns, where a cafeteria is profitable. This cheese is richer and finer grained than ordinary cottage cheese and once eaten is never thereafter refused. Buttermilk Cheese.—This is the method used in Wisconsin experiment station for making the cheese: Heat the buttermilk slowly to 130 or 140 degrees F., stirring all the time. This may be done in a double boiler. After heating, the curd settles to the bottom of the boiler and most of the whey may be poured off. The remainder of the whey is removed by draining through a cheesecloth, doubled in several layers. Season with salt and pepper or with salt and caraway seed. When mixed with a little softened butter, about a fourth in weight, and spread on sandwiches, it is called sandwich cheese. Buttermilk Cream.—This is very similar to the cheese, but is treated to a lower temperature in heating. A hundred degrees F. is the required temperature, stirring constantly until the curd separates. Drain through a cheese cloth until the curd is like thick cream; season and serve as sandwich filling or as a dressing, with vinegar for salads, used in the place of the German cream dressing. Pineapple Lacto.—Beat the yolks and whites of two eggs separately, add two or three cupfuls of sugar, mixed with two quarts of sour skim milk and $1\frac{1}{4}$ cupfuls of pineapple. When partly frozen add the juice of two lemons. In place of the pineapple a half cupful of cherry juice may be used, or the juice of five oranges, or a cupful of strawberry juice, or a half a cupful of raspberry juice, thus making any fruit lacto. CAKES FOR TEA. If one has on hand small cakes or cookies that will keep for some time, they are much more satisfactory for an emergency than cake which will grow stale, and is harder to make as well. Lemon Delights…Take a cupful of sugar, a half cupful of butter, a cupful and a half of flour, a teaspoonful of baking powder, three eggs. a they are much more satisfactory for an emergency than cake which will grow stale, and is harder to make as well. Lemon Delights.—Take a cupful of sugar, a half cupful of butter, a cupful and a half of flour, a teaspoonful of baking powder, three eggs, a cupful of water, the juice and rind of a lemon. Beat the yolls and add to the sugar and butter, then a pinch of salt is added, the lemon rind, water, and juice. Stir in the flour sifted with the baking powder and fold in the whites of the eggs beaten stiff. Bake in gem pans and ice with lemon frosting, decorating each cake with a pinch of preserved lemon peel. Hermits.—Take two cupfuls of brown sugar, a cupful of butter, and when well creamed add one egg, well beaten, a half cupful of milk and a teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in it, add flour to roll, with a half teaspoonful each of cinnamon and nutmeg, a half cupful of chopped almonds and a cupful of raisins. Roll, cut in chilongs, and bake. Sponge Dominoes.—Bake an ordinary sponge cake in a shallow tin. Cut in small oblongs and cover with chocolate icing. When cold drop drops of icing to represent dominoes. When plain cake has become a trite stale, put it in thin slices and put jam, jelly or marmalade between the layers, then cut in fancy shapes and cover with boiled frosting. Date Filling for Cake.—Chop two cupfuls of dates, add two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, one-half cupful of powdered sugar and a half cupful of whipped cream. Mix all together and spread as a filling on any kind of layer cake. Nellie Maxwell THE TULSA STAR Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on International Fashions For a Boudoir Light. Taffeta Trimming.

Gauntlet gloves of angora with the white splashes. The skirt is of a heavy woolen texture and reaches below the shoe-tops. CHARM OF FLOUNCED SKIRTS Fluffy Appearance Is Very Becoming to Some of the Females of the Species. The flounced skirts are charming in thin black, whether two, three or five tiered or composed of many rows of little ruffles. A rival of these modes is the petal pointed skirt which, at first plain edged, now often has its points outlined with a narrow frill, sometimes plaited, sometimes gathered. A charming version of this idea was seen a few days since. At first sight it seemed to be composed of haphazard points and frills, but there was really a definite plan in the arrangement. There were three tulle skirts, one over the other, cut into different shapes, the two top ones edged with ruffles. Their placing is very clever, and the dainty widening at the hips was insured by a bit of haircloth—orin braid it is now called—which was placed under the tulle. Flannels for Wool. Outing and canton flannels are taking the place of woolens to quite an extent, for it is not the fact of its being wool that gives warmth, but that the fuzziness of the wool holds the air, that great non-conductor of neat and cold. One must not think that because a material is a mixture of cotton and something else it is necessarily a poor investment. A suiting of cotton and a good quality of wool would look and wear better than a suiting sold for the same price made entirely of wool, for the latter would necessarily be made of such an inferior grade of wool that it would soon become shape-lec. Chantilly Veils Worn. Veils this year have come into their own. They not only drop from the top of the high-crowned hats and fall to the shoulders, but on the wide-brimmed hats, in a number of instances, the veil is finished with a broad band of black velvet, which may either be drawn in around the throat or allowed to hang, as is found becoming. Meshes, as a rule, are very light over the face with a delicate dotted design or a border. This is true even of the Chantilly veils, which will be worn extensively, as well as the simpler net meshes. Sleeveless Gowns Passes Evening dresses are sleeved! Sometimes the sleeves are more wispy, 'tis true, but yet they cover to an extent milady's pretty shoulders and makes them even prettier for the velling. A few evening dresses will be sleeveless, but they will be the exception. The 1860 drop shoulder is also forcing itself upon fashionable notice, and a few extreme evening gowns show its charming lines.

Who will head the list? FOR SOME REASON, the attorney general, who lives in Oklahoma City, seems to be very much interested in the welfare of Tulsa lately. PRESIDENT WILSON'S "Defense Program," to the fellow who helps to foot the bill, is a strong argument in favor of Bryan's Peace Policy. THE LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE will give a "Smoker" in the near future for the benefit of its members and their friends. This is in line with the League motto: "Get Together." THE FELLOW WHO'S UP TODAY, may be DOWN tomorrow. If these who are UP would remember this at all times, those who are DOWN would have a much better chance in life. GRAND JURIES are becoming very common in Oklahoma, and their habits are about the same wherever they are found. But it is a very notable fact that they are all quiet on the "Guardianship Graft" which is the most odious system of corruption in the state. This reminds us very forcibly of the fellow "straining at a fmat and swallowing a camel." THE SALVATIO NOF THE RACE lies along the pathway on industry. We can not hope to permanently succeed as a race without employment for our boys and girls. This can not be accomplished on any large scale without co-operation. We would have more race enterprises if we had mare individuals of the race to encourage those we have.

MRS. GALT HAS DOUBLE HARRIS & CWING This picture is not that of Mrs. Norman Galt, the president's fiancee, but that of Mrs. S. Hubert Dent, wife of the Alabama congressman. The likeness is so striking that Mrs. Dent is having trouble in convincing Washingtonians who think they recognize her on the street that she is not Mrs. Galt. One of the most experienced newspaper women in Washington, one who has a wide acquaintance, and has seen Mrs. Galt many times, followed Mrs. Dent for two hours on a shopping expedition thinking that she was getting a story about Mrs. Galt's purchases, only to be disappointed at the end of her long walk. The photographer who made the picture also was quite positive that it was she, and was unwillingly convinced after he had made several pictures.

MUSKOGEE NEWS NOTES. The fellow who prophesied a "long cold winter" has already pawned his overcoat at Sam Silber's. The Rev. I. S. Nicholson and the congregation of Beeche Chapel on South Seventh St., are highly elated over the fact that recently they burnt the mortgage which had been hanging over the church for some time. Mr. and Mrs. H. King, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Fue and Mrs. Nellie Green did valiant work. The Rev. J. W. Curry of the A. M. E. Church, Ward's Chapel on North Ninth St., and his congregation are load up to the guards lifting a heavy mortgage incurred some time ago in making the parsonage habitable. This debt was made prior to the Rev. Curry's coming to this church and he and his members are making a great effort to wipe it out. The Rev. H. M. Perrin, formerly presiding elder of Tulsa District and pastor of Ward's Chapel, has been assigned charge of church at Pine Bluff, Ark. Mr. Albert Barrow, the well known trombonist who died recently, was buried at Waco, Texas, the old home of the family. Prof. Freauzot, an attache of the U. S. Department of Education, Washington, D. C., was a recent visitor at the Manual Training High School and expressed himself as highly pleased with the school work being done. The Professor had been making a tour of Negro schools in the South and found the Muskogee Negro Schools under Superintendent E. S. Monroe and his corps of Negro teachers very far ahead of them. Master Louis Ragsale is being highly complimented for the admirable manner in which he performed the leading character in the operetta given by the Douglas School at the Hinton Opera Hose. There has been a request to repeat this operetta for the benefit of the First Baptist church The Negro Fair Association is coming in for some considerable harsh criticism because its president, Mr. J W. Kintz, is serving time at the county jail for bootlegging. Some seem to think it would not be a bad idea if several others of this association were up there with him. Prof. and Mrs. Hale Graham of the Haskell Colored schools were visitors in Muskogee on business last Saturday. Miss Mason, the well known Douglas School teacher, enjoyed a fine Thanksgiving dinner at her home in Tullahasssee. Dr. R. H. Waterford, although a faithful Baptist, gave valuable aid to his wife in her work of paying off the mortgage of the Beeeb Chapel of which she is an influential and indispensable member. The new post office is a very handsome building, but it is going to be some time before people get used to going out in the wilderness to buy a postcard.

WHITE HOUSE BRIDE Mrs. Galt Is a Woman of Manifold Interests. Will Not Follow Precedents in Wed ding Ceremony—Society Breathes Easier Over Resumption of White House Functions. Washington.—Twice before presi dents of the United States have taken unto themselves wives while in their high office. It is safe to say that Woodrow Wilson and the winsome Edith Bolling Galt will follow neither of the two precedents set. President John Tyler evidently dis trusted his public. Two years after the death of his first wife in 1844, he he came to New York, and while the peo ple were still under the impression that his wedding to Miss Julia Gardi ner of New York was several weeks off, they learned suddenly that the chief executive had led his bride to the altar in the Church of the Ascen sion. It was almost an elopement. There was a similar lack of warning, though not quite so extreme, when President Grover Cleveland married Frances Folsom, probably the most beautiful of all the brides of the White House, in 1886. The engagement was published two weeks before the day when the ceremony actually took place; but the day and the hour were not announced until about 48 hours before the arrival of the bride elect and her mother in the capital. They had just come from several months in Europe. The guests at the Cleveland wedding numbered fewer than forty. The only officials present were the cabinet and the president's private secretary. The scene was set in the blue room Those in confidence of Mrs. Galt here believe she will arrange everything for a fine old Virginia wedding, not an unwieldy affair, but on the other hand nothing hurried or ill-considered. Those who have visited the Galt home in Pennsylvania avenue agree that the future "first lady of the land" is a queen of hostesses and a marvel of forethought and graceful tact. All in all, Washington society has learned of the president's coming marriage with a feeling akin to relief. The capital is a distinctly less lively and gay affair with no White House social season to set the pace. With Mrs. Gait at the head of the president's establishment Washington's great hostesses will breathe easier. She has never figured large on the society pages of the newspapers but she has a large circle of friends and these agree she can be depended upon as a worthy successor of a long line of gracious presidents' wives. All Washington winter functions are arranged so as not to interfere with White House engagements. For this reason no other invitations can go out until the White House schedule is known. The second Mrs. Wilson is an attractive dresser and she may well set the fashion for women of her age. When walking about Washington Mrs. Galt was seen in a white sergeatallored suit, the jacket decorated in military fashion in white silk braid, white kid low shoes, white silk hosiery and a small black velvet hat. For a woman of about forty years Mrs. Galt is strikingly handsome. She has dark eyes and wavy dark hair, splendid teeth, a peach bloom complexion and regular features. It is when she smiles, however, that she is irresistible. Her exceedingly warm, sympathetic nature makes those who have the honor of entering her home immediately at ease and she has the faculty of the great French dames of causing those conversing with her to feel they have never before been so brilliant. The president is not a poor man, but it is probable that Mrs. Galt will bring him a fortune greater than his own. Her husband is understood to have left her about $250,000. As her expenses have never been large, this has been increased considerably. She owns the century-old Galt jewelry store in Washington, which two of her brothers run for her. Mrs. Galt is a woman of manifold interests. Her home is full of good books, which share with her music the long winter evenings. She is fond of the theater. She drives her own electric automobile about Washington. She plays a fair game of tennis and her golf has improved rapidly under Mr. Wilson's tuition. She proved an ardent baseball "fan" at one of the recent world series games and it is said that the president arranged to see this contest at his fiancee's expressed wish. Mrs. Galt has not devoted herself to her own amusement by any means. She is active in St. Thomas Episcopal church, where she was for some time chairman of the Rector's Aid society. Besides other local charities she has done much work for the mountain whites of the South, an activity in which the first Mrs. Wilson was also a leader. Mrs. Galt's efforts have always been most unobtrusive. Butterfiles on the Wing.

The field was more than three-quarters of a mile from the house, so the employer took charge of the team that Bookman was driving and told Bookman to go to the house and get something to relieve his pain; Bookman left the field and upon arriving at the house found a white man in company with the wife of his employer—the two being the only persons at the house when he arrived; upon request of Bookman, Mrs. Booth, left the room to procure some medicine for Bookman, and when she had gone from the room the white man asked Bookman, "Why in the h—n't you at work?" and "What in the h—d you come here for this time of day?" and drew out a knife, struck at Bookman, cutting his overalls across the breast. Bookman struck him and knocked him back and be (the white man) grabbed a shot gun from a rack on the wall. Bookman rush to him, wrested the gun from him and shot him with it, killing him. Rumor has it that the white man and the Colored woman had been intimate and it seems to be pretty well founded. The white man became jealous at the appearance of the Colored men and sought to beat him up. That the Colored man was justified in his act some have been fully convinced. He never did try to get away, but went back to the field and told the man he war working for what had happenend and returned with him to the house and awaited the arrival of the officer who arrested him. On the following Sunday they buried the white man who lived about one and a half miles from Booth's home, where the tragedy occurred and that same night a mob gathered and surrounded the county jail bent on taking the prisoner out and lynching him, but lawyer McBeth had not been asleep on his job. He had correctly interpreted the sentiment of the scalawag white men of that vicinity the day before and had induced the sheriff to spirit his client away to the penitentiary at McAlerest for safe keeping. Bookman's trial began May 21st, and ended the next afternoon, the jury being out about 45 minutes. The court room was filled to its full capacity when the verdict was returned and had it been other than what it was a bloody scene would probably have been enacted in the court room so bitter was the feeling against the prisoner at the time among the lower element of white people there.

Washington. — Congress assembled and organized for the session which is expected to be the greatest within the memory of the present generation. Four hours work in the House new Speaker Clark returned to the chair; Representative Mann returned to the leadership of the republican minority; the introduction of 2,000 bills and resolutions of many of them proposing measures of national defense and many more in opposition; the reappearance of constitutional amendments to enfranchise women and a minimum rules fight that disliked out with the adoption of last year's rules with a few changes. In the senate practically nothing was done except the election of Senator Clarke of Arkansas as president pro tempore. Vice President Marshall was absent because of the illness of his wife. Both houses then, after sending a joint committee to the White House to give official notice of the opening of congress, adjourned until Tuesday when the real business of the sessions began with President Wilson's message at a joint session in the house hall. Budget of Largest Expenditures. Budget of Largest Expenditures. A budget of the largest expenditures ever planned before any American congress in times of peace was brought in from the various branches of the government, the total being some $170,600,000 more than was asked for last year. The great part of the proposed increase expenditure is for the enlarged army and navy programs and aside from working out the problem of national defense it will be the business of congress to raise the revenue to pay for it. In the stream of bills and resolutions that poured into the hopper were not only plans for military preparedness but others proposing investigation of the motives of men and organizations who champion national defense. Senate to Discuss Foreign Relations. Notice was given that in the senate demands would be made for a showing of what the United States has accomplished against Great Britain's interferences with American commerce abroad. The entire fabric of the American government's delicate relation to the conflict across the seas probably will be brought to the edge of congressional discussion and the administration leaders are not unmindful of their tasks to preserve that for which President Wilson has expressed a wish, that there should be a united America. The first roll call in the house showed 427 members present and eight absent—one of them accounted for by death. The democratic majority although reduced put Speaker Clark back in the chair. 221 to 194. In the senate the newly elected and re-elected members took the oath. The body was leaderless when Secretary Baker rapped for order at noon and Senator Martin of Virginia was chosen to preside. Thirty senators were sworn in, Senators Brady of Idaho and Smith of South Carolina, being absent. After this ceremony Senator Clarke was elected and the senate recessed. BERLIN IS ASKING QUESTIONS For Withdrawal of Attaches; Lansing Refuses to Comply. Washington—Germany notified the United States that she desired to know upon what grounds the state department asks the withdrawal of Captain Boy-Ed, the naval attacke of the German embassy here, and of Captain Von Papen, the military attacke. Secretary Lansing received the request from two sources—from Count Von Bernstorff, the ambassador, and from the Berlin foreign office through Ambassador Girard. Mr. Lansing will not discuss the facts nor will he give the courses of information concerning the activities of the attaches in connection with naval and military matters to which the state department objected. Without reference to the reasons which prompted the department to ask the withdrawal of the attaches it is stated the United States will stand upon the established understanding among nations that an infirmation of this sort does not require its grounds to be given. Enormous Appropriation Asked. Washington.—Estimates for the most elaborate program of expenditures ever asked of an American congress in times of peace were submitted proposing a total outlay of $1,285,857,808 or $170,853,614 more than was appropriated last year. The great increase is almost wholly due to the administration plans for military preparedness. More than $116,000,000 of the total is for expenditures on the army and navy, with millions more for coast defense. By establishments the amounts were: THE TULSA STAR THE FARMER'S CHANCE THE SPUR FARM LANDS IN Dickens, Kent, Cranwell and Garns County, Texas, offer the farmer has been opportunity to secure productive farms at low prices and an easy turn.

Sun. Large Club for Bova The boy in the city must avoid many side tracks if he desires to lead an upright and useful life, says the Boston Globe. Constantly he is beast with distractions which may lead him astray into the ranks of the incompetent, idle or evicuous. He is an inquisitive, knowledge-thriving creature, full of the great possibilities of youth. His latent powers are precocious, yet they are wasted with a prodigality akin almost to that of nature. Hence the establishment of the large boys' club in Roxbury, handsomely housed and well equipped, means that many boys will be given the opportunity to keep on the main line leading to a useful life. A boy's enthusiasm is more often aroused when he thinks he is playing than when he is working at school. The boys' club can catch him when he is enthusiastic and start that enthusiasm toward manly accomplishment. We wish the club every success. Criticism Implied "He doesn't like my cooking," sobbed the three months' bride, a tear on her long lashes. "I just know he doesn't. So, there!" "What makes you think so?" her mother asked. "Has he said he doesn't like your cooking?" "N-no-o," stammered the bride. NHOO, exammered the bride. "Nonsense, child, it's just your imagination. I felt there was no basis—" "There is a basis," the bride insisted tearfully. "I had been cooking the loveliest things for him for about two weeks and then he told me he had decided to become a raw-food faddist. Bo-hoo-oo—"Judge. He Waa Hopeful. "Henry," said Mrs. Peck, severely, "I hope I didn't see you wink at that young woman we just passed." "My dear," answered Henry, meekly, "I hope your hope is correct." HARD TO DROP But Many Drop It. A young Calif. wife talks about coffee: "It was hard to drop Mocha and Java and give Postum a trial, but my nerves were so shattered that I was a nervous wreck and of course that means all kinds of ails. "I did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble for I was very fond of it. At that time a friend came to live with us, and I noticed that after he had been with us a week he would not drink his coffee any more. I asked him the reason. He replied: 'I have not had a headache since I left off drinking coffee, some months ago, till last week, when I began again here at your table. I don't see how anyone can like coffee, any way, after drinking Postum!' "I said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two occasions when we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We were convinced that coffee caused his suffering, so he returned to Postum, convinced that coffee was an enemy, instead of a friend, and he is troubled no more by insomnia. "I have gained 8 pounds in weight, and my nerves have ceased to quiver. It seems so easy now to quit coffee that caused my aches and ails and take up Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form—must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—a soluble powder—dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 80c and 50c tins. Both kinds are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup. "There's a Reason" for Postum. —sold by Grocer INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON B. WILLIAM L. LEEKH, Acting Director of Studies and Research of Money Bills Statistics and Statistics JEHOVAH YEARNS OVER ISRAEL LEBRON TEXT—Hosea II 9-11 GOLDEN TEXT—I SHOW them with minds of a man, with hands of love—Hosea II 4. A contemporary of Isaiah and Amos. Hosea continued to prophecy after the first impatience of the northern kingdom. His style is abrupt and figurative. Larned is Jehovah's adulterous wife, repudiated, but finally to be purchased and restored. This lesson is a part of the second section of the book (6-11-13), which is a description of the sinful people. L. "The Penitente Child." vv. 10, 17. The "remnant" (ch. 6.1-1) had cried out for relief. (See See 1.3; Room 2.5). Jehovah's reply (hegna 6.4) is a severe arrangement of Israel's back-bashing as contrasted with his grace. To understand this lesson read the entire book repeatedly. In verse 1 of the lesson Jehovah recalls to the nation the days of its childhood. Because of his great love (Deut. 7:7) he called them out of Egypt, the land of bondage, into Canaan, the land of blessing and liberty. Yet Israel sensed not its duty nor its obligation of gratitude. We are living under a greater obligation because of the greater redemption God has provided for us in the person of his Son. God here calls Israel "my son" (Ex. 4:22); we have the right to call ourselves sons (John 1:12; I. John 2:12). Matthew's gospel applies these words to him who alone was fully and in the true sense God's son. Jesus is the summary of the whole nation in that he alone fully realized God's purpose in Israel (Matt. 2:15). As contrasted with what a son is or should be verse 2 gives a picture of Israel's wandering. The whole history of the nation is one of going after false gods. (I. Sam: 8:7-9 and many other references.) In those childhood days (v. 2) Jehovah taught them how to walk, and healed their hurts, "but they knew not"—God, as a tender Father, had watched over, taught, guided and healed (Ex. 19:14; Isa. 46:2; 63:9). Even so, in this present age God is a God of mercy and long suffering (Rom. 2:4), yet the mass of men "know not" what God is doing for them. In verse 4 the child has grown older and as mothers often tether a child lest it run away, so Jehovah endeavors to draw Israel to him with "coords of love." His cord of love now is the mighty power of Calvary (John 12:32). Jehovah not only drew but even sought to entice for he "lald most unto them"—Jesus will deliver us, for he bore our yoke (Matt. 11:28-30) and is for us the Bread of Life (John 6:35, 58). Love does not mean that the backslider shall be free from punishment. "Because they refused to return. the sword shall abide" (v. 5-6 and Heb. 12:6). Even so God did not permit them to go back to Egyptian bondage (v. 5). Israel was "bent to back-sliding." In spite of the constant call to worship and serve him none "would erault him." II. The Pleading Parent, vv. 8-12. None can fathom the depths of the cry. "How shall I give thee up. How shall I deliver thee" (v. 8). Israel would persist and still Jehovah pleads that perchance they would heed his cry (Jer. 9:7; Lam. 3:33). Admah and Zeboim were irretrievably overthrown with Sodom and Gomorrah (Deut. 29:33), shall Israel likewise perish? No! (v. 9) for "I am God, not man." God does not, like man, change—his covenants are not "scraps of paper," his love is everlasting (Nu. 23:19). It is not God but man who is responsible for his destruction. The "Holy One in the midst of thee" is there to save, not as an avenger. God has not come into our midst in wrath—God's passionate desire is to save not to destroy. His purposes are those of love and redemption and as with Israel of old, so in this age, he will carry out these purposes in spite of our backsliding (Rom. 11:28-29). Verses 10 and 11 are prophetic of the ultimate repentance and restoration of Israel—judgment shall pass upon their foes (Joel 3:16) and those of the dispersion (see parallel Isa. 11:11-16) shall gather, as "doves to their windows," and be once more "in their houses." i. e., set up as a nation in their God-given land. Ephraim (v. 12) sought to rule without or by casting off Jehovah (L. Cor. 4:8). In Judah was the legal priesthood and the legitimate king, but the apostasy of Israel was more culpable because of the example of Judah which he had set at nought. III. Promised Deliverance. In a most striking way Hosea flashes a note of hope and love through the cloud of gloom which hung over the nation as it drew closer to its doom, because the people refused to repent. Amos delivered his warning and returned to Judah. Hosea was a part of the nation which emphasizes such verses of his prophecy as the following: 6:1, 4:6, 11:4, 11:6, 6:4, 6:6, 2:15 and 10:12. which sound the message of hope like bulletins from the battle's front. Verse 9 is the final summary for Israel and for us as well.

DISTRIBUTOR Williamson-Halsell-Frazier Company Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Elk City, Chickasha, Shawnee and Altus The Wheat Yield Tells the Story of Western Canada's Rapid Progress 160 ACRE FARMS IN WESTERN CANADA FREE The heavy crops in Western Canada have caused new records to be made in the handling of grains by railroads. For, while the movement of these heavy shipments has been wonderfully rapid, the resources of the different roads, despite enlarged equipments and increased facilities, have been strained as never before, and previous records have thus been broken in all directions. The largest Canadian wheat shipments through New York ever known are reported for the period up to October 15th, upwards of four and a quarter million bushels being exported in less than six weeks, and this was but the overflow of shipments to Montreal, through which point shipments were much larger than to New York. Yields as high as 60 bushels of wheat per acre are reported from all parts of the country; while yields of 45 bushels per acre are common. Thousands of American farmers have taken part in this wonderful production. Land prices are still low and free homestead lands are easily secured in good localities, convenient to churches, schools, markets, railways, etc. There is no war tax on land and no conscription.

WHAT IS U THE CAUSE OF BACKACH Ever since the discovery of uric acid in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and the bad effect it had upon the body, scientists and physicians have striven to rid the tissues and the blood of this poison. Because of its overabundance in the system it causes backache, pains here and there, rheumatism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who discovered a new agent, called "Anuric," which will throw out and completely eradicate this uric acid from the system. "Anuric" is 37 times more potent than *lithia*, and consequently you need no longer fear muscular or articular rheumatism or gout, or many Even Wisdom Has Its Price. "Tell me," said the youth who had come many miles to seek an interview with the Shelbyville Sage, "how I may acquire real wisdom."

I am not running this sage business for the benefit of my health. See?"

RENTIESVILLE POSTMASTER EXTOLLS BOOKER WASHINGTON DOCTRINE RENTIESVILLE AND THE WASHINGTON IDEA. By P. B. M. C. Franklin. Rentiesville—like most colored communities—is a veritable plant bed in which to sow, propagate and grow luxuriously the Booker T. Washington idea of education for the masses of Colored people. What is that idea, and what have we here to aid in support of same are questions that naturally arise—and immediately—out of the foregoing statement. Successively stated, the Washington idea is this: Industrial education for the masses of the Colored people is primarily and imperatively necessary as a means of increasing their earning capacity—thus laying deep, broad and stable foundation upon which they can rear their superstructure, unafraid and without any thought of a future collapse of their building. Mr. Washington argued—and successfully, too—that a young and weak people to become strong, respectable and a necessity to the growth and well-being of its parent or adopted country—must learn to produce more than it consumes, to save more than it spends and to have, at all times, something that the other fellow needs. Therefore to be able to do these things it must be given such training that the hands and head will work together in perfect harmony and accord to this common end. He taught to be "smart" and not serviceable and useful was mischevious and dangerous. Hence life's work. He was so sure that he was right in this until he made it a rule in the early life of his institution that no student would be allowed to attend or graduate from the school without learning some useful trade. With oneness of aim and singleness of purpose—never before equaled—seldom approached—he prosecuted this idea. We will never be able to measure the results of this great mans efforts in this direction, because of their multiplicity of beneficent ramifications. His endeavors in his checaen field have been a leaven "that has leavened the whole lump" of industrial life throughout the entire nation. By his magic touch labor assumed a new meaning and soil-tilling became a pleasant and dignified occupation. Mr. Washington—like all great men—was grossly misunderstood in certain quarters. Thoughtless, garrulous critics accused him of being opposed to higher education. So far is this from being true that his wife is a college graduate from Fisk University and seventy-five per cent. of the members of the faculty of his school are university graduates. He argued and reasoned that "the more brains people have the better should be the results of the hands." And too, his critics, with the flippancy of an innocent girl just entering her teens, say, he was opposed to Negro suffrage. But nowhere is such foolish statement verified in any of his many speeches, or elsewhere. The truth is, he came up on the stage—timed by an All Wise Providence—to initiate a certain work. He simply did what he was predestined to do; no more and no less. This is what all great characters have done I have digressed thus far not because Mr. Washington needs any defense at my hands, or from any one else's. He did not believe in being on the defensive. His great message to his people was "Get off the defensive by doing something great and good that will put the world to wondering how you did it." His living presence, in that vast and growing army of Tuskegeeites found competing successfully in every line of commercial and economic endeavor, is his glorious and undying vindication. What have we been in Rentlesville for the successful prosecution (on a smaller scale, of course) of Mr. Washington's idea? To begin with, we have a splendid, three story school building, with six specious rooms. We have nearly four hundred children of school age. The teaching can, I think, be so arranged as to give the entire ground space—two rooms—over to industrial work. Domestic science—pastory, cooking and sewing—could be carried on in one of these rooms and wood-work in the other. The equipments for these purposes, meager to begin with, would not be hard to secure. One or two sewing machines, one cook stove, a few cooking utensils, about two saws, two squares, a plane, sand paper, hammers and a few other things would suffice to begin the work. These—most of them—could be paid for on the installment plan, some of them would be contributed by both white and black people, by suppers and otherwise. One who understands the spirit of the age and is thoroughly imbued with it would regard it an easy task to get together these things. The industrial renaissance—so happily and timely begun by the lamented Washington—makes industrial education very popular, indeed, and its advocates soon strike a popular cord that vibrates throughout, the community in which it is touched. It is popular because of its overwhelming necessity for the masses. The community fares, the experiment stations, the corn clubs and similar things are bute the logical and immediate results of industrial education, concretely put. Industrial education makes for the rational uplift and social betterment of a people, and the thoughtful men of all races stand for that. Hence, the work of the Southern Sociological Congress, the Rockefeller Foundation and similar organizations with limitless resources for social betterment work among all races. Commenting upon the life work of Dr. Booker T. Washington a few days ago, the Houston (Texas) Post said, among other things: Those who have studied the race problem as we choose to call it, need not be told that the uplifting of the Negro race in the South is a matter that concerns the white people of the South quite as much as it concerns the Negroes. There is a mutuality of interest that is unquestionable and indissoluble. The two races are living side by side in the South never to be separated and they must rise or fall together. The Southern white people are ultimately to have as their neighbors many million black people (ignorant, immoral, criminal, inefficient, filthy, diseased and hopeless or they are going to have as their neighbors a Negro race that is intelligent, virtuous, efficient, honest, patriotic and friendly. Intelligent men and women know that the South needs the latter. And so it is every thoughtful white men in the South today is viewing the matter in the light of the estimable Post. The state Agricultural colleges of Oklahoma and Texas show that the Post is correct. Rentlesville has a highly and intelligent and appreciative citzenship that never falls to respond under the touch of a popular move, a move which (its needs giving testimony) makes for its material and spiritual betterment. A recent and living, evidence of this fact is found in the community fair pulled off here this year, under the auspices of the Local Negro Business League, working in conjunction with the Government demonstrator for this county, Mr. Rounsvell. Under the matchless leadership of Prof. F. Branson, Pres of the League, the people—our people, just outdid themself. Ours was the best community fair held in the county, according to an article in the county paper, written by the demonstrator himself. All the lands in and around the town are either owned by Colored people or those who are friends of the race, hence efforts to secure a small farm for the school, either by lease or purchase, is minimized. Another great advantage is this: the school could soon, under the law, be raised to a full-fledged high school. The law in this connection is substantially as follows: "An independent district is on including a town district which maintains a four-year high school fully accredited by the State University." If this was done it is evident that the poorest parents could give their children sufficient training to be able to make it alone and unaided, provided of course the industrial feature was carried on. Fully ninety per cent of the people here are unable to send their children off to a school, and if they had the equipments above referred to there would be no need to send them elsewhere to larn enough to make it in the world. If this was advanced from a majority to an independent school district we would be able to easily secure educational aid from the Slater Fund, which only is available in connection with high school work. It would too give us a more substantial aid from the Jeanes Fund, which tardy and belated, made its advent in this county last year. If Mr. Dillard saw that we were trying to do something he would as he has frequently done elsewhere —show us some special favors. And after having become known it would not be long before we would be able to draw from the nine other funds specially set aside for Negro education in the South. The county superintendents, as a rule, do not know of all this money being available for certain classes of Negro schools in the South. Most of them, at least ours, are vitally interested in properly educating the Negro youths of the state, but they have not had the time to find out such as I have just pointed out, and by the time they do find it out they are ready, as a rule, to go out of office. Hence, it is up to the Colored teacher to point out this fact to them, keep them advised and cooperate with them in securing all the financial assistance possible in the educational work of the Colored children. Our county superintendent, a genial warm hearted, broad approach gentleman, is now doing all he can to make the Jeanes Funds a success in the county, and he would be the same by the other finds. It is plain, there is no escaping the fact that our children will grow up dwarf, pigmies and incapables when, and where, the colored teachers are mercenary, indifferent, time-servers and sinceres, and without the doing of real constructive work. The teachers whose hearts beat in harmony with the educational spirit of the age; those who are thoroughly conversant with the educational needs and requirements of the modern Negro youth; those who thoroughly understand that there can be no noise and judicious self-direction, no real self help and no "racial consciousness" in the absence of opportunities to efficiently pursue gainful occupations — say these teachers will direct and stimulate their educational efforts as to produce the very conditions which will make for a healthy and normal growth of the children, and finally of the race. Educational efforts here, therefore, must, in the future, be along industrial lines if the greatest good is to be realized. Book knowledge, alone for our people, will not suffice. I have in min now many with just such knowledge who are to today title, and the few who have the industrial training are almost as bad because the masses have not been sufficiently trained along economic and commercial lines to support and furnish employment to them, or to take the worthy ones into partnership. I have in mind now a brilliant young lady, highly educated and a splendid stenographer, who is unable to make use of her special training because of lack of business among her people. Hence, as the school teaching THE TULSA STAR business is over-crowded she is idle. Lukey for her, she has an energetic father who is able to provide for her every need. This is only one case in point out of the many hundreds. Summing up: Rentiesville must be Washingtonized. If she builds wisely. Her boys and her girls must be trained in hands as well as in heads and hearts. They must be educated according to the needs of the race. Given a practical and a useable education, they will become home oners and successful future operators of businessinstutions that will furnish employment to efficient and honorable members of the race—such as I have just mentioned—with princely salaries attached. There is a proximity between the farm and the school room, the nearness of which makes it impossible for one to exist successfully without the other. There must be a workable understanding between the two, with the teacher leading out. The school boards, the business leagues and citizens, generally must see to it that the school master is given free reins to prosecute his work along the lines above outlined; any interference is short-sighted and suicidal. Mr. Washing, through his Annual Farmers Conference had similar organizations, kept his school in helpful and close touch with the farmers, and made it a vital force in their lives.

Milwaukee.—With less than a dollar between them the Poppert twins— Oscar and Walter—left Milwaukee 15 years ago to seek their fortunes in the Klondike. A few days ago they returned as owners of mining property in Alaska said to be worth several hundred thousand dollars. They are visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Poppert, Twenty-seventh avenue. The adventures of the Poppert twins rival those read about in the wildest of Alaskan tales. The first years in the North were spent in "whaling," or rickety vessels, their cruises taking them to Siberia, China, Japan and the Hawaiian islands. Later, they herded cattle, and finally, with a team of dogs set out for the interior of Alaska. The men are now known as the most daring explorers in the Arctic region. They are the discoverers of Midnight creek, now the richest gold district in the Klondike. They founded Ruby City, situated along Midnight creek, which is now a centering point for the miners.

Passing of Season of Feasts and Dancing Enables Squaws to Devote Time to Making Indian Thomas, Okla.—Now that the Cheyenne social season has ended with the close of summer the women of the tribes have more leisure for making and decoration of moccasins and other Indian trappings. Their children are at school, their homes are stationary and dances and feasts infrequent. Dealers in beadwork have learned that they get best results by supplying the Indian woman with all her materials and then paying for the work when finished. In this way an expert beader will receive better pay than she might be able to do if she had to get, tan and cut hides for herself. The design for beadwork is often agreed upon beforehand, as well. In this way the indian is saved from decision and the dealer can be sure he will get the designs and sizes which have been found to suit the markets. Moreover, this prevents the low insteps which are invariably found in moccasins made for Indian wear. The Indian has worn heelless footgear for so many generations that his instep is not as high as that of most civilized men, and and the result is that, if left, to themselves, the moccasin makers turn out footgear that few white people can wear. But for all this the pattern, making and beaded design are genuine "Indian" in every respect, and have been carefully copied from old models. The present system probably has done a great deal to preserve old Indian patterns, which might have been forgotten or changed if left unstandardized. It is remarkable with what deftness and speed an expert can cover a pair of buckskin moccasins, using only a thin strand of sinew and a sharp awl. The Indian woman has been adept at this work for years upon years, and her best work is easily distinguished from the cheap and irregular work of factories. The art work of Cheyenne women and Cheyenne men is quite different. The man's art is realistic and is intended to represent things as they are. He devoted his attention to painting tepees, shields and buffalo robes, and these pictures are never twice the same. The women, on the other hand, employ unchanging geometrical designs, squares, circles, triangles and lines. Flowering lines and flower patterns are utterly unknown to the women of the plains tribes, and whenever seen should' be regarded with suspicion by the collector, as it is more than probable they came from Germany. Some of the forest tribes, such as the Ojibway, use these flowering patterns, but none of the true plains Indians do so. In reading the designs on a moccasin one can usually say that the triangles are tepees if they stand upright round the sole. If not, and especially if they are pointed toward some other figure, they stand for arrowheads. Every Indian design means something and sometimes the colors have Yours truly, Editor Trapping THE MASTER OF THE MUSIC PROF. W. H.

A square with triangles pointing toward it represents a buffalo attack by hunters with arrows. Without the arrow-heads about it a square is usually meant for a star. Diamonds stand for lakes. Sometimes moccasins were made with a bunch of fringes a foot long at the heel. These were intended to smooth over the tracks by the wearer, so that anyone following him might be unable to know who had passed. Of course they also were decorated, especially when the wearer was mounted. As time goes on and buckskin becomes scarcer the makers of moccasins will have to turn more and more to other kinds of leather, if they do not have to give up making them altogether. Mme. L.C.
