Case is Being Watched With Much Interest in Oklahoma VOL. 4. Minor Su Case is Being W Much Interes Tulsa Lawyer, Who Believes in Fair Play, Goes Into Court to Recover Land For Little Helpless Negro Minor. WHITE GUARDIAN FOR NEGRO CHILD SELLS VALUABLE OIL LAND FOR $700! Land Was Sold to Educate the Minor Who Was Only Six Years Old, But All the Money From the Sale of the Land Went to Pay Court Costs and the Child Got Nothing. Another one of the many rotten deals pulled off through the County Courts of Oklahoma against the helpless Negro minors of this state by their white guardians was brought to light in the district court of Creek County Tuesday when suit was filed by Attorney John D. Walkee of this city for little 11 years old W. C. Flanagan of this city to recover the child's allotment comprising 160 acres of valuable oil land in Creek County, which was sold by the guardian, A. L. Evans of Wagoner, with the knowledge and consent of the County Judge of that county. Evans, it appears, petitioned the court for an order of sale of his little Negro ward's land on the ground that the child needed the money to pay for its education, and the court pranted the petition and issued an order of sale, afterwards confirming the sale of the child's land for the meager consideration of $700.00. Think of a six year old child needing money for an education. Fifty cents would have been the money needed to start the child to school. But the worst part of the story is the alleged fact that the child got practically none of the money from the sale of the land. the lawyer fee, guardian's fee and court costs consuming lamost the entire amount. Lawyer Wakeley is attacking the entire transaction, as an outrageous fraud and is asking that the sale be set aside and the land returned to its rightful owner. He also contends that under the Creek Agreement no person who is not a member of the Creek tribe can legally serve as guardian for any Creek child, and that the state can not pass any law in conflict therewith. The lawyers on the other side offered a demurrier which was overruled by the court, and the case will now come up for hearing in March or April. The case is one of much interest to the Colored people of Oklahoma because they have been the greater sufferers because of this notorious system of graft. Hundreds and hundreds of such suits will be filed if a favorable decision is given in this case. The guardianship graft in Oklahoma has made more paupers in the last six years among the Colored people of this state than any other agency. The County Courts which were established to protect the interests of helpless minors have been perverted and converted into an agency for the perpetration of fraud and graft against these minors. White men have been made guardians of Negro children who they had never seen and through the County courts sell their land without ever seeing them. White guardians have been known to sell land for his helpless Negro ward for sums which the income from the land would net them in two or three years time. And all through the county courts. Another bad feature about this infamous graft system is the fact that some low irresponsible shiftless Negroes will make themselves tools for the white man in this knavery work for a few blood tainted dollars Negroes have been known to assist in robbing his own people for unscrupulous white men. There are also parents of Colored children who allow themselves to become victimized by these white grafters and will go into court and ask that they be appointed guardians of their children. And even some of our lawyers for obvious reasons have sanctioned the appointment of white guardians over their clients. But fortunately these cases are few. The Negro Guardianship League of Oklahoma, which grew out of the fight started last year by the Star against this practice, is doing much to better conditions and will do more much more. We are opposed to the white man serving as guardians the white man serving as TULSA, OKLA.

Big Lot Sale Starts Tomorrow Twenty Acres North of Lincoln Park Addition to Be Sold to Colored People Only. Another addition to Tulsa has been annexed and platted for residence lots to be sold exclusively to Colored people. It will be known as the Douglas Place, named in honor of the late Frederick Duglas. The new addition lies immediately north of the Lincoln Park Addition and northwest of the Gurley-Hill addition. It has been staked off and will make a splendid location for a residence district. White people live west and north of this addition and it is midway between two car lines—the Main street car line and the Sand Springs Car line. There is just twenty acres in this tract, but as soon as this is sold another 80 acre tract east of this and north of the Gurley Hill addition will be put on the market. John H. Miller, a well known real estate man of this city, recently bought the 20 acres and secured an option on the adjoining 80. The lots will sell for $25.60, $350, on terms of $10 down and $2.00 a week. Mr. Miller has planned to hold a big opening sale tomorrow, Sunday, January 9th. Automobiles will haul anyone to the Douglas Place tomorrow without any charge. Sheriff Wooley Not a Quitter Sheriff Wooley Not a Quitter FORMER CHIEF OF DETECTIVES APPOINTED TEMPORARY SHERIFF—BUT SHERIFF WOOLLEY HOLDS ON. James Patton, former chief detictive of the Tulsa police department was appointed temporary sheriff of Tulsa county Tuesday morning at a meeting of the County Commissioners pending the outcome of the charges returned against Sheriff Woolley, by the recent grand jury. The sheriff, however, has not given up his office and has served notice that he will not relinquish it to any one until a jury of peers had found him guilty of the charges against him. Patton is a well known officer, having served for a number of years on the police force of this city. He was dropped from the pay roll with a dozen o r more of others when the city treasury was rapidly becoming depleted. The same conditions existing in Tulsa now, and which have been existing since Mr. Patton was left off of the pay roll, must have existed while he was on the police force as chief detective, and if Mr. Patton can improve conditions now he could have and should have improved them then. The whole thing seems to be a political battle, and the sooner the courts settle the questions at issue the better it will be for Tulsa. BOTH MORRIS AND JONES FAC TIONS HOLD MEETINGS IN SAPULPA. Two Baptist conventions representing the two factions of the National organizations met in Sapulpa this week. The Jones faction met Thursday and Friday to form a state organization of their forces in Oklahoma, and the Morris faction a day previous, presumably to corral their forces. Dr. E. P. Jones, the noted Baptist leader of Mississippi was not present at the meeting but that side was represented by Rev. S. S. Jones of Muskogee. The Baptists in this state are almost equally divided and hereafter there will be two state Baptist conventions to meet each year instead of one.

Officers Smitherman, Williams, Cleaver and Rogers Invade Underworld District and Capture Many Dames of Easy Virtue. All public resorts in Tulsa where Negro women of the underworld lived for immoral purposes with white men were closed Tuesday under orders from Commissioner Quinn, and many of the inmates were taken to the police station where they were locked up on charges of lewd conduct. For some time past a number of such places have been conducted in Tulsa, as eye sores to the best Colored citizens, but no complaint had been made to the higher officials until this week Captain T. D. Jackson, one of the leading Colored men of this city it seems, started the ball to rolling when he took the matter up with officer Smitherman, who in turn went to Commissioner Quinn and related to this official what Captain Jackson had told him. The result was that Col. Quinn ordered all such places investigated and gave instructions to arrest the inmates of these resorts and any white man caught in them. Tuesday night officers Smitherman, Williams and Barney Cleaver accompanied by Bob Rogers visited these resorts and arrested 24 girls. Wednesday morning Judge Clark of, the police court, sentenced each one of them 30 days in jail, suspended the execution on condition that they leave town at once. They are gone. Some talk has been made of dynamiting these places, but the leaders of the race have counselled against this drastic action, preferring to take the matter up to the proper city officials. It is claimed by some that there are one or two such places in Tulsa where white women of the underworld enter tain Colored men, but if this is true it is not generally known. Colored Library MUCH IN NEED OF BOOKS WILL YOU HELP? Little Institution For Colored People Much in Need of New Books. The Colored Free Library, maintained in the lobby of the Star office has been of much service to the public in the East End since it was established and would be of greater benefit still if there were more books on the shelves. From June 1, 1915 to Dec 31, 1915, 286 people borrowed books from this library, 257 came in to search for information and 182 came in to read newspapers from various parts of the United States, making a total of 725 patrons for the library in seven mos. an average of about 103 people a month to visit the library. There are 497 volumes now in the library, but they are all old books, many of them worn beyond further usefulness. The library is greatly in need of new books. The above figures show conclusively that this little institution is serviceable to the people in this part of the city and that it is appreciated. In order that we may better meet the growing demand of this institution and extend its good influences we respectfully appeal to the generous people of Tulsa, white and Colored, for funds to buy new books. We would also appreciate any donation of books. Very respectfully. A. J. SMITHERMAN, Librarian. League to Meet The local Negro Business League will meet in the Gurley hall on North Green wood Wednesday night, in a regular business session. Every member is urged to be present. Editor Smitherman Speaker of the Day OCCASION AT FORMER STATE CAPITAL ONE OF MERITORIOUS ACHIEVEMENT. City Hall Converted Into a Museum of Fine Art Work. (Special to Tulsa Star,) GUTHRIE, Okla., Jan. 1.—This 52nd anniversary of Emancipation was celebrated here today as it never was before. The city hall auditorium was turned over t o other Colored people for the occasion. This hall is in the center of the town and is an ideal place for public meetings. The celebration was divided into three sessions, the first session beginning at 10 o'clock this morning, the second at 2 p. m., and the last session at 7:30 p. m. A very interesting program was arranged for the occasion. A special feature of the celebration today and one which received particular attention from the many visitors was the elaborate display of farm and truck garden products and fine art and needle work by the women of Guthrie. This feature of the celebration gave the auditorium the appearance of an exposition hall or museum of fine arts. The ladies handy work was well represented in almost everything from house slivers to bed spreads, made of the finest material, many of the articles representing from to days to two years of patient tedious labor at odd times. A bed spread made by Mrs. Motley of this city which was on exhibition was recently to an Art Club in Arizona for $100.00. A miniature log cabin, representing the birth place of Dr. Booker T. Washington, made by a student in the Manual Training department of the Colored Schools of Guthrie was also on exhibition and attracted a deal of attention and admiration. Mesdames A. J. Scales, M. Floyd, F. Armstrong, A. R. Dobbins, Miss C. Foster and Miss Palmer, who arranged and conducted the Domestic Art exhibits are entitled to special praise for their splendid work. These ladies took a lively interest in the celebration and did everything possible to make it a success. In this connection Mrs. J. C. Horton, librarian at the Excelsior Library, and president of the State Federation of Negro Women's Club also played a prominent part. The program of the day's celebration follows: Saturday Morning 10 A. M. Farmers and Citizens Business conference. Talks led as folsow. Messrs. Rev. J. W. Daniels, Hollins, H. House, F. W.

D. Greenwell. A. J. Scale, Master of ceremony. The principal speaker of the day was Editor A. J. Smitherman of the Tulsa Star. His subject was "The Freedman On Trial." For more than an hour the editor held the undivided attention of the audience as he delivered a message of hope and encouragement. Not a person left the auditorium while he was talking. He told briefly of the achievements of the race since emancipation, the dark days of the reconstruction period, the trials of the present day and the race's hopes for the future. He advised in dustrial development by individuals and corporations of the race. Pointing to the magnificent display of exhibits about the hall the editor said NO.9 uardian! JANUARY 1ST Speaker of the Day they represented that much talent, work and energy thrown away so long as the race in any community able to produce such made no efforts to reap the benefits of its commercial value. The speaker reached the climax of his earnest appeal for industrial development when he called from the audience to the platform a little boy and a little girl and pointing to an old gray hailed man in the audience said: "This dear old man, to my left here, is the product of the dark days of our history. He has suffered many trials and hardships. But whatever evils may have been visited upon him it is beyond our power to remedy; but it is wholly within our power, and more, it is our duty to mould the lives and character of these littl ones—the future men and women of our race. Parents, what are you doing for these your children? Are you doing your duty?" Seven years ago an Emancipation Celebration committee was organized in this city and each year since that time this celebration has been observed. The Executive Committee of this organization are: W. E. Pendleton, president; E. D. Greenwell Secretary; T. T. Williams, Treasurer, H. M. Wilson, A. J. Scales and S. A. Clark. Special Session of Legislature Called Governor R, L. Williams late Thursday afternoon issued a call for a special session of the Legislature, as has been predicted for some time that he would do, to meet on Monday morning January 17th and remain in session 20 days: It is generally conceded that the paramount issue to be brought before this body, is the Grand Father Clause. Nothing will be acted upon by the special session except those things recommended by the governor. Lynchings in U. S. on The Increase Lynchings in U. S. on The Increase SIXTY NINE LYNCHINGS IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1915. FIFTY FIVE NEGROES; ELEVEN WHITES AT HANDS OF LAWLESS MOBS. Policy of Federal Government Seems to Be: "We May Slaughter Our Own Citizens Within Our Own Borders Without Protest—But the Belligerent Powers Must Protect the Lives of Our Citizens." As head of the Division of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, I cooperated with the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal, in keeping an annual record of all lynchings in the United States which record was sent by him from time to time to the public press. According to this record there have been, during the year just closed, 69 lynchings. Of those lynched 55 were Negroes and 14 were whites. This is six more Negroes and eleven more whites than were put to death by mobs in 1914, when the record was 49 Negroes and 3 whites. Included in the record are three women. In at least four instances it later developed that the persons put to death were innocent of the offenses charged. Eighteen, or more than one-fourth of the total lynchings, occurred in the State of Georgia. Only 11, ten Negroes and one white, of those put to death, or fifteen per cent of the total, were charged with rape. Other offenses and number lynched for were: murder 17, five whites and twelve Negroes; killing officers of the law, 9, three whites and six Negroes; wounding officers of the law, 3, clubbing officers of the law, a family of four, father, son and two daughters; poisoning mules, 3; for stealing boys, 2, white; disregarding warnings of night riders, 2, white; inculting women, 3; entering women's rooms. 2; wounding a man, 2; steal (Continued on page four) TO BE SURE The Exchange LIFE Tulsa Agents: G.

SAFETY FIRST (Incorporated) Phone 931 OKLAHOMA THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Tuskegee institute was developed by Booker T. Washington, and it is fitting that the trustees of the institution should seek to perpetuate his name. Their idea is to solicit a $2,000,000 endowment, to be known as the "Washington memorial." Almost one-quarter of this amount has already been subscribed, a part, however, contingent on other contributions. The Trustees look to Negroes for at least $250,000. This is not a large sum to ask from the colored race, inasmuch as Tuskegee typifies the best that is being done for them. In Indianapolis there are enough prosperous Negroes to provide no small portion of the minimum expected. When Doctor Washington took charge of Tuskegee it owned nothing. Classes were housed in shanties, and the future held out no great hopes. The perseverance with which he kept at his work, his remarkable ability and his sterling character attracted the necessary support. Today Tuskegee is a valuable property, even from a physical standpoint. Yet its work is so largely philanthropic that there is always a gap between income and outgo. During Doctor Washington's lifetime this deficit was easily met. His acquaintance was wide, and included persons of wealth. In asking help now the trustees of the institute possibly look not so much to wealthy philanthropists as to persons who are willing to give a little in order that a good cause may be promoted. "Tuskegee institute," reads the announcement, "is Booker T. Washington's monument, and his most fitting memorial is the perpetuation of its great work for the benefit of the colored people and for the promotion of helpful relations between the races. The gap at present existing between the ordinary income of the institute and its annual outgo is approximately $150,000." All that is desired is to raise a trust fund of such proportions as will reduce this annual charge to "manageable proportions." It is hoped that enough will be contributed by Negroes to meet not only a fair share of the fund, but also to provide sufficient money to erect a tablet or other memorial in the grounds of the institute. At present there is only one such institution; there should be many. It is therefore important that Tuskegee institute be preserved and enlarged as an example in the education of the colored people of this country. The heat of the sultry day had made the kitchen stove about the most unbearable thing one could possibly conjure up. The whole kitchen was steamy and uninviting. Outside the sun baked down, and the vacation days made the restless children unhappy and cross; a slovenly, unkempt colored girl was rocking a crying baby; an older colored woman was getting a breath of air at the door. The baby didn't stop crying, the dinner was getting overdone, and the poor, tired mother, almost distracted, wondered where was the trouble. Somehow, we seldom go quite far enough back in our minds to really get at the root of things, writes Mrs. Sidney M. Ullman of the Social Service department, in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. This mother, like most of us, saw only in her troubles the inefficiency in her own servants. She was paying for poorly cooked meals and badly trained children; little boys and girls of impressionable age, associating with ignorant Negro nurse; The following letter will show some of the practical workings of the pupils of the industrial high school at Birmingham. Ala: "My Dear Mrs. Ullman: I had the pleasure a few days ago of being a guest at luncheon of the negro industrial high school, together with Dr. J. H. Phillips, Mrs. Ben M. Jacobs, Mrs. Echols, Mr. J. B. Gibson, Mr. C. B. Glenn, Mrs. Bruce, Mr. S. J. Bowie, Judge A. O. Lane and Doctor Curren of North Carolina. We were impressed with the splendid, practical work done in every department of the school, but the demonstration of the cooking class appealed to us most, for one very obvious reason, the hour was one o'clock. Besides this, all persons who have made any kind of study of social problems know that we cannot expect health, work, efficiency and happiness without food that has been properly selected and properly prepared. "The luncheon served us was prepared by a group of girls from this class of 41. They were selected not because of their superior proficiency, because all were equally capable, so Statistics show that in the early days of American colleges about one half the graduates adopted the ministry as a profession. At the present time only about 5 per cent of the college graduates become ministers. Chinese chambers of commerce exist in New York, San Francisco and Manila. King Ferdinand of Bulgaria has the abominable habit of smothering himself with strong perfumes. AN CULLINGS in spite of the school and the home environment, they were picking up bad English. Who is to blame for the incompetency and ignorance of the Negro servants? The illiteracy of the Negro is bringing down the fair state of Alabama to the very bottom of the ladder in education. Some overcrowded, poorly equipped schools are doing wonderful work. These are seldom encouraged by a visit from the white neighbor. We ease our conscience with the knowledge that there is something being done and that is all-sufficient. The whole system under which we allow the race to exist is wrong. From an essay read at the Industrial High school commencement by a young Negro boy, we quote the following: "The Negro in embryo, is surrounded by the shell of ignorance and poverty. Outside conditions must be favorable if he is to come out of his shell prepared to be an asset and not a liability to the community. The most illiterate class of people should have the largest opportunity for getting the rudiments of an education in order that they may not lower the standard of living in their city. Whether they go to school should not be left to the whim of this class—but they should be compelled to go. The state must protect itself from the ignorance of its masses by forcing them into schools." The progress of the Negro during the last 50 years has been marked by a wholesome and steady growth, with no tendency toward a lapse into the state of bewilderment which characterized the business, agricultural and commercial activities of the race immediately after the war. Between 1900 and 1915, for instance, farm property owned by Negroes has increased 177 per cent in value—from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218. The Negro Business league has recently published some statistics which show that since 1900 the number of Negro business enterprises in this country has increased from 20,000 to 45,900; the number of Negro banks from two to 51; the number of drug stores, from 250 to 695, and the number of general retail stores, from 10,000 to 25,000. These figures show that education and a more comprehensive knowledge of the possibilities of freedom are helping the Negro to do for himself that which no one can do for him. And it is altogether fitting that leaders of the race should agree that it is time to bring to public attention the achievements of the race.

Leschetitzky made his debut in Vienna in 1845, and for several years taught at St. Petersburg conservatory.

"The work of the entire institution reflects credit on A. H. Parker, the principal, whose remarkable ability and understanding eminently fits him for the position he holds.

WHY DONKEY WAS IN CLOVER Punishment That Surely Might Be Classed as "Unusual," Though Possibly Not "Cruel." Not very long ago there lived in England an old man who always rode on a donkey to his daily work, and tethered him while he labored on the roads or wherever else he might be. It had been pretty plainly hinted to him by one of the local landowners that he was suspected of putting it in the fields to graze at other people's expense. "Eh, squire, I cud a do sich a thing, fer my donkey won't eat nowt but nettles an 'thistles." One day the gentleman was riding along the road, when he saw the old fellow at work and the donkey up to his knees in one of his clover fields feeding luxuriously. "Halloo, John!" said he. "I understood you to say your donkey would eat nothing but nettles and thistles?" "Aye," said John, "but he's been misbehavin' hisself, sir. He nearly kicked me i' th chest just now, so I put him there to punish him!" - Economical Economy was the text of Mr. Jones' discourse one evening after he had been settling some household bills, while Mrs. Jones listened with true wifely interest. "I don't want to make you unhappy, darling," finished the husband, "but really we must be a bit more careful in future. For instance, look at the bill for petrol. That motor car is costing us rather too much for the time being." "Yes, Henry, dear," agreed Mrs. Jones. "I'm afraid it is." Then her sweet young face brightened as she went on: "But just think what it saves us in car fares and bootleather." Gross Slander: Lawyer—Did he call you a Mar, in as many words? Client—Well, he said I reminded him of a war expert. Lawyer—Quite sufficient, my dear sir—you ought to secure very heavy damages.—Passing Show. LACK OF MONEY It is not always that a lack of money is a benefit. A lady in Ark. owes her health to the fact that she could not pay in advance the fee demanded by a specialist to treat her for stomach trouble. In telling of her case she says: "I had been treated by four different physicians during 10 years of stomach trouble. Lately I called on another who told me he could not cure me; that I had neuralgia of the stomach. Then I went to a specialist who told me I had catarrh of the stomach and said he could cure me in four months, but would have to have his money down. I could not raise the necessary sum and in my extremity I was led to quit coffee and try Postum. "The results have been magical. I now sleep well at night, something I had not done for a long time; the pain in my stomach is gone and I am a different woman." "Every time I had tried to stop coffee I suffered from severe headaches, so I continued to drink it, although I had reason to believe it was injurious to me. But when I had Postum to shift to it was different. "To my surprise I did not miss coffee when I began to drink Postum. "Coffee had been steadily and surely killing me and I didn't fully realize what was doing it until I quit and changed to 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. 30c and 50c tins. Both kinds are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup. "There's a Reason" for Postum. sold by Grocers. THE EUROPEAN WAR A YEAR AGO THIS WEEK Jan. 3, 1915.

PAGE THREE Everyone Should Drink Hot Water in the Morning Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before breakfast. To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipation, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your druggist or at the store. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an accumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.—Adv. More Cheerful Topic. "Don't you like to read about life in foreign countries?" asked the enthusiastic young woman. "Well, that depends," answered Mr. Dubwaite, thoughtfully, "on a number of particulars." "Yes?" "Just at present life in foreign countries is so full of horrors that I much prefer to read about life here at home." SYRUP OF FIGS FOR A CHILD'S BOWELS It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a sick child. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowel need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep the harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv.

Our stay in the great metropolis was a very pleasant one. We like the spirit of the Kansas City people. THERE IS A CLASS of white men who are TOO SMALL to extend to Colored men the same courtesy and respect they expect Colored men to extend to them. Such men are fools from the standpoint of education as well as from the standpoint of common fairness. SEVERA LLYNCHINGS have been attempted in Muskogee in recent years, but in each case the law-abiding citizens black and white have tided the storm and saved the name of that city in spite of a few rabid minded hoodlums of both races. The better citizens of Muskogee deserve compliments for their noble stand against mob law. USURY to the tune of 120 per cent per annum is being practiced on many of the Colored people of Tulsa by a certain white man down town, who is plying his trade under the coattail of an out of town bank. He has collect ed many thousands of dollars in this way and has taken a great deal of real estate by the mortgage route, with or without court proceedings. The title is not in the out of town bank. He is a slick artist and is getting the money. The Star will take him under powerful consideration later on. MORE REPUBLICANISM IN MUSKOGEF.

POLITICAL SIDE LIGHTS ON THE NEAR BIOT IN MUSKOGEE The Blind Folly o the Negro who places all of his hope in republican politicians is very pointedly shown by the following editorial from the Muskogee Cimeter, a race journal which has done more for the republican party than any Colored paper in the state. Speaking of the recent trouble in the city of Muskogee the Cimeter says: "The Muskogee Phoenix has done its level best to incite race riot and bloodshed in our city. We are glad the good people of Muskogee have paid no attention to the ranting of this yellow sheet, that for a few cents would plunge our fair city into shame and disgrace." The Muskogee Phoenix is a republican daily. The Times-Democrat, the democratic daily of Muskogee, has been praised everywhere for its good fices and timely words spent in an earnest effort to uphold the law during the critical hours there last week. This is a splendid lesson for the Negroes of Oklahoma. We should recognize our friends wherever we find them. DR. PICKENS PASSES AWAY His Death a Shock to Muskogee MUSKOGEE, OKLA., January 3: That "death loves a shining mark" was forcibly brought to the attention of the minds and hearts of many Muskogeeans last Thursday by the unexpected taking off of that well known and popular Negro physician, Dr. M. E. Pickens, just as he was passing from young manhood to cross the threshold of middle age. It would be difficult for one to name a man professionally engaged as he was more widely admired and beloved, and thus because his medical attainments were above question and criticism and thus that he was a man of proverbial generous and good nature. His said decrease was not alone a shock to the immediate family but to the community. His wife especially was unfortunately stricken because at the time of his illness she was away on a visit in Tennessee spending the holidays and unaware of her husband's illness. On account of her frail constitution, the relatives were afraid to warn her and hence she did not learn of her terrible bereavement until after she had returned to her home. The death of Dr. Pickens cast quite a dampen on the social activities of the week especially those which had been planned for the entertainment of Mrs. Prof. Youngblood of Langston, the guest of Mrs. W. Scott Brown. The reception given Mrs. Youngblood by Mrs. Dr. Waring on Thursday evening was broken up and adjourned because the doctor passed away while it was in progress and only a few doors distant. The reception of Mrs. Lois Perdue announced for Friday night was called off. Dr. Pickens was a native of North Carolina, and a graduate of the Detroit M. Ch. Medical College. He had been practicing in Muskogee about nine years. For a time he was associated with Dr. W. H. Sims, the well known physician, and after Dr. Sims went to Boley some years ago, Dr. Pickens took charge of his large practice. Since that time he had greatly increased his list of patients, and no physician was more respected and more highly thought of than he. Several years ago Dr. Pickens took to himself a wife in the person of the talented daughter of Prof. J. B. Mc Cullough of North Seventh St. The doctor also left a mother, a resident of Washington, D. C., who arrived on Monday last to attend the funeral of her son and child. and bellish play, to-wit. "The Birth of own has been notified not to live in a late firm and the notice came from the good.

MUSKOGEE NEWS Mrs. Prof. Youngblood Goes Home. After a quite pleasant visit to Muskogee as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. Scott Brown of South Fifth St. Mrs. Prof. Youngblood of Langston, the wife of Prof. Youngblood, conductor of the Muskogee Normal last summer returned to her home on Sunday night via the "Governor." Her last day was devoted to visiting a number of the churches and residences of new found friends. In the afternoon she head the address of Bishop Thurston at the Colored Episcopal Mission on South Third St., after which she was the honored gest at a family dinner given by Mrs. L. C. Clark. The other guests were Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Brown, Miss Magee and the Rev. Roker. Following the dinner the evening was spent singing familiar and favorite hymns in which Mr. and Mrs. Oldham, late arrivals, joined. Prof. and Mrs. J. Oscar Spencer of Nowata after spending a most enjoyable and happy Christmas week as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. George Davis of Boynton, passed through last Sunday afternoon en route home on the Katy Flyer. Prof. Spencer and Mr. George Davis, the oll and gas mag mate of Boynton, have been school and life friends for the past twenty one years. The Prof. says if George and his esteemable wife overlooked anything in entertaining him, it will take until next Christmas for him to think out what it was. Mrs. George Pleasant, wife of Mr. George Pleasant the well known attache of the gas plant, has been down for the past week with a serious attack of the prevailing "influenza." Dr Sims is attending the case and promises George who is very much worried over his wife's illness, that she will soon be up and about.

MONROE N. WORK, Division of Records and Research Lowe Acquitted In the matter of the arrest of C. G. Lowe of Muskogee, on a misdemeanor charge. The complaining witness failed to show the Justice of the Peace F. L. Martin that there was any grounds other than malice, growing out of a lodge contest, why Lowe should be held. The case had already been called to the attention the County Commissioners as why this warrant was issued on Sunday and why the Clinty should have been subjected to much cost without consent of the County Attorney as required by law.

Sunbury, Pa.—John Davidson, a Cat awissa mountain farmer, who lives near the town of that name, says he is glad he has a wooden leg, for it saved him serious hurts in a battle with a bear. Davidson says he was riding horse back along the Susquehanna, which skirts dense mountain growths at that point, when he saw a black bear fishing in the river. It would dive down and come up with a fish in its mouth. Angered by his approach bruin dropped a fish and gave chase, but Davidson drew his revolver and fired. He missed, and the animal came on after him and bit and clawed at his wooden leg. He fired again, and then a freight train approached on a railroad nearby. This, together with the tooting of the locomotive whistle, frightened the beast and it dropped to its feet and ambled off into the woods. The farmer exhibited a torn pair of trousers and lacerated wooden leg to his friends as proof of the truth of his story. The Star Cen Up to-date sanitay cleaning terations a specialty.

The imperative need of harmony is some surroundings as well as in busi- sess life is being felt by thinking more every day. It is impossible to do our best work in any atmosphere of confusion, and it is an almost variable rule that illness and dis- turbbed nerves are the penalty exacted if we allow ourselves to be drawn in to conditions that do not spell har- mony. Our home is our castle, and nothing should be allowed to enter therein that makes us unhappy. If one is obliged to take strangeness into the home on account of financial consideration it is wise to make sure that they are not antagonistic in any way that will affect the family relations, otherwise it is better to give up the extra profit and do with less if it means peace of mind. There is no price too great to pay for harmony, for it means health, happiness, financial success to you and yours, the ability to help others, and all through the gaining and holding the mental poise which is the peace of understanding. Some of us have to be beaten en with many stripes before we realize the need of and grasp the knowledge of harmony, but those who have already felt a longing for it and pause to listen will get the revelation and receive its gospel like banadiation. cleaning Palror ing methods.

The sound nourishment that gives "punch" to wade right into work, is richly supplied by the field grains. But some grain foods are lacking in certain mineral elements which are all-important for physical and mental vigor. Grape-Nuts made of selected whole wheat and malted barley, furnishes one all the nutriment of the grain, including their vital mineral salts-phosphate of potash, etc. necessary for the balanced rebuilding of body, brain and nerves. Grape-Nuts is easily digested; has a delicious nut-like flavour; is ready to eat direct from package; and with cream or good milk is a splendidly balanced food. PAGE SIX BILIOUS, HEADACHY SICK "CASGARETS" Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while you sleep. Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, billiousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is reabsorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv. Harm Done by Hertzian Waves. Harm Done by Hertzian Waves. Ever since the extensive commercial employment of wireless telegraphy, there have been many who believe that the powerful Hertzian waves seriously affect organic life. In fact, some have even suggested that laws or regulations should be enacted to protect organic life against wireless waves. With a view to determining the extent and nature of the radio waves' influence on organic life and climate, Dr. C. Abel-Musgrave recently asked several questions on the subject to be answered by a number of prominent German scientists. The summary of their answers was that wireless waves have no influence on organic life, nor do they alter climatic conditions, although it is true that certain electrical stresses are capable of accelerating rainfalls.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color, Gloss, Thickness. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time, by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.—Adv.

SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1915, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 9 THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT LESSON TEXT - Acts 2:1-13 GOLDEN TEXT—Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you7—I Cor. 3:19 R. V. Good teaching demands the use of the concrete; objective teaching is fundamental and essential. The incarnation is God's objective teaching, "God manifest." (a) to reveal himself, self, John 14:9; (b) to take away sin, I John 3:5; (c) to destroy the works of the devil, I John 3:8. So likewise Pentecost is a great objective lesson. This chapter has been divided as follows: (1) The Coming of Power (vv. 1-13); (2) The Empowered Witness (vv. 14-36; (3) A Powerful Result (vv. 37-47). 1. Power, 1-4. At the end of our last lesson the disciples were in prayer. The Lord's promise (1:5) was conditioned upon obedience. At last "the day" arrived (Lev. 23:15-21). Their hearts were fused and the fundamental requirement for service, the baptism of the spirit, came upon them. There has been no need since then to tarry any time at all to receive a like blessing. Lack of unity has much to do with our not receiving the spirit now and the consequent lack of power. Suddenly from out of heaven came a mighty sound (v. 2) and it is such a wind that the church needs today. There were three manifestations at this time and one other subsequently (see 2:44, 4:34, 35; 5:4). (1) Wind. Let us keep clear the difference between symbol and spirit. The manifestation was "as wind." Wind is mysterious, universal and mighty, but like Elijah on the mountain God is not alone as a mighty tempest. The sound filled the whole house. Wind is figurative of judgment (Jer. 22:22, Hos. 13:15) of the Spirit (John 3:8), also of heresy (Eph. 4:18). This last suggests the vagaries and imitations suggested or abetted by Satan to keep us from the truth. (2) Fire. This symbol is power, light, heat and purifying, but the fire was not the spirit nor do we recall another such manifestation since (3) Tongues. The fire took the form of tongues which parted or portioned themselves out to "each one of them" though Peter is alone subsequently more prominent. Every manifestation of the spirit is always that of some new power for Christ (I Cor. 14:2-19). 11. Perplexity, vv. 5-13. The question may arise, had the spirit been seen before? and the answer is "yes" (Matt. 3:16, Jno. 1:32). What then was new? The answer to this is the program of power. The first evidence of power was the gathering of the people (v. 6). The disciples at once testified to each of the sixteen classes mentioned (9-11) of the "mighty works of God." Not of the gift, but the giver, a different sort of testimony than that given by many who today profess to have the gift of tongues. The second result was an amazed people, "perplexed," for them as now the world cannot understand the spirit-filled man. These spirit-filled men forget self and were lost in their testimony (v. 11). It is of interest to note that they did not even say much if anything about the spirit himself. Their testimony, for which many later gave their lives, was regarding God's mighty work of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead (vv. 24, 32). The spirit-filled man is sure to emphasize this mighty work and the evidence of the spirit in a man's life is his loyalty to a crucified, risen and ascended Lord. A third result was that people misunderstood and charged drunkenness, a fact seized upon later by Paul to teach us the truth (Eph. 5:18). The only sure cure for intemperance, or any other evil, is an infilling of the holy spirit. The final and complete fulfillment of the prophecy (vv. 14-21, Joel 2:28, 29) of which Pentecost was a partial fulfillment will be in the "day of the Lord." But then, as now, all who call upon him shall be saved (v. 13, Rom. 10:13). "Some mocked," even as today ridicule or parody are the enemy's choicest weapons. Pentecost is an event well attested, that marked the ushering in of a new dispensation, that was misunderstood, but one that can be verified by experience. Pentecost was a revelation, a manifestation of a new spiritual kingdom, distinctly Christian, that exposes sin and exalts the son. Pentecost is a prophecy of real Christian unity, of a spiritual administration, of Christ's intercession and an evidence of an abiding presence. When we are spirit-filled the Lord Jesus Christ will occupy the whole horizon of our experience, our testimony and will control our service. The spirit-filled servant can exclaim "The Lord (Jesus) is my shepherd," he is Lord, he is my shepherd; he is, not has been or will be, but he is my shepherd. The gift of the spirit must not be confused with the spirit's "gifts" (I Cor. 12) whereby we are enabled to do the work he directs in order to glorify the son—not the church, nor man, nor a religious experience, but the Lord Jesus (Gal. 2:20, II Tim. 1:7). TRADE REVIVAL IN WESTERN CANADA Not a Myth but an Actuality Shown in the Returns of Agricultural Statistics and Every Department of Trade and Commerce. The trade revival in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta is an actuality and not a myth. There is today a spirit of optimism in the air, just as two years ago there prevailed the opposite spirit of pessimism. A general trade revival has been felt in every department of business in the Prairie Provinces. The agriculturists are in better shape than they have ever been before in their lives. No farmers of any country are in better financial condition and in a more general state of prosperity than are the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The farmers have harvested a record crop—a crop which enriches them to the extent of something over $400,000,000. In the cities the prosperity of the country has been reflected. Everywhere business is on the hustle. The wholesalers and the retailers and the implement dealers find business good. The banks and other collection houses find collections satisfactory, and financial men declare that westerners are paying up their debts. In Winnipeg the bank clearings have been the largest in history, exceeding some weeks the figures of Montreal and Toronto. The grain shipments have been the biggest in the history of Winnipeg and in the history of the twin ports, Fort William and Port Arthur. The mall order houses have had a big year, the rush of fall orders exceeding all previous years and taxing the capacity of these establishments, whose most sanguine expectations have been exceeded by the actual business done. The tide has turned in western Canada. The people of the West are forging ahead, forging ahead in actual production and in creation of wealth, giving generously to charitable and other funds, paying up their back debts, while going along carefully as regards any creation of new debts. They are economizing but not scrimping, acting, cautiously but not miserly. The financial heads of eastern Canada, of the United States and of Europe are no longer criticizing western Canada; rather they are unstintedly offering their praise and their compliments. The financial press recognizes that the tide has turned in western Canada and it has been published to the world. The condition of western Canada at the close of 1915 is one of optimistic prosperity, backed by the same determination of western people to go on increasing their productiveness and maintaining the records which they have already established. The trade revival of western Canada is the happiest feature in the business survey of the whole Dominion for 1915 and in the outlook for 1916.—Advertisement. Painless Method.

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid Which Clogs the Kidneys and Irritates the Bladder. Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twings, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.

This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity.

Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complications.

THE GEELOONG. Washington.—President Wilson has returned to Washington from Hot Springs, Va., to take personal charge of the nation's foreign affairs in the new crisis brought about by the sinking of the British steamships Persia and Glengyle, with a loss of at least one American life. The situation is regarded in official circles as being the most serious yet to confront this government in regard to submarine operations of the central powers. The destruction of the Persia, following closely upon the crisis precipitated by the Ancona disaster, may result in the United States determining to settle at once all the questions involved in the submarine warfare. The United States is represented as being prepared and determined to take action in the matter. Every effort will be made to establish the truth of the report that the Persia was torpeded without warning. Secretary Lansing contemplated taking no step until the complete details are known. One Source of Gratification. Officials find one source of gratification in assurances given by Baron Erich Zweldinek, charge of the Austro-Hungary embassy to Secretary Lansing during a conference at the state department. Baron Zweldinek suggested that judgment be withheld until the facts were known and to have expressed the belief that the final explanation of the latest incident would be satisfactory. He assured the secretary of his belief that if any Austrian submarine commander violated the principles of international law and the rules of humanity, his government GLENGYLE THE LATEST VICTIM London. — The British steamship Glengyle has been sunk in the Mediterranean. The first statement contained only the bare announcement of the disaster and that only about one hundred of those on board escaped death. It is taken for granted an Austrian submarine, many of which have been operating in the waters where the Glengyle went down, was responsible for the disaster. The Glengyle had on board about one hundred and twenty persons, passengers and crew. All with the exception of the three European and seven Chinese were landed. So far as is known no Americans were on board. ONE AMERICAN LOST ON PERSIA London.—The loss of life in connection with the sinking of the British steamship Persia, torpeded in the eastern Mediterranean still is a matter of doubt. Latest advices from Cairo and Alexandria indicate that 158 survivors have been landed of which 59 were passengers. Hope that others have been saved is diminishing, as four days have now elapsed since the vessel was destroyed. No further word has been received concerning Robert N. McNeely, American consul at Aden, Arabia, and there seems to be little doubt that he was drowned. The safety of Charles Grant having been established, it is thought Mr. McNeely was the only American who perished. It is still impossible to give even with approximate accuracy the loss of life, as the number of persons on board is still to be ascertained. The passengers numbered more than 200 and Russians Gaining Ground. London—The latest dispatches from the southern extremity of the Russian front indicate that heavy fighting is continuing with the Russian army of General Ivanoff gaining ground. One correspondent reports that these operations began with an offensive movement on the part of the Austrians designed to straighten their line and that after repraising this attack, the Russians assumed the initiative. It is evident the Russian advance has now extended beyond the Stripa river. ATROCITIES BREACH CRISIS Keep His Honeymoon k to Washington the Cabinet BY SINKING OF GLENGYLE Officer Robert N. of Former Disaster in 200 and 300 e Sacrificed THE MEDITERRANEAN" would be quick to take action which would fully satisfy the United States. Baron Zweidinek also sought information for the benefit of his government. The secretary acted upon information Ambassador Benfield at Vienna to make formal inquiries which might lead to the establishment of the identity of the submarine which sank the Persia or the receipt of information concerning the circumstances of the attack. Ship Carrying Small Gun. The report that the liner was carrying a 4.7 gun served to revive consideration of the position taken by the United States in regard to armed merchantmen. In the early days of the war it was announced that the merchant ships belonging to belligerents might be allowed to enter and leave American ports with guns of six-inch caliber or less mounted upon their sterns. At that time cruisers of the central powers had not been swept from the seas. Later Great Britain and France, at the suggestion of the United States, agreed that their ships coming into American waters should not be armed, thus eliminating the possibility of a controversy over that point so far as vessels heading out of ports of the United States were concerned. Anxiety in official circles increased when it was learned that press dispatches from London reported the sinking of another British liner, the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Gee-loong. No word of the latest disaster had reached the state department. Official reports will be awaited with grave interest. She was homeward bound from Shanghai and was sunk in the Mediterranean Sunday. This was only her second voyage. The Glengyle sailed from Shanghai for London on November 25. She was last reported at Singapore on December 6. Her officer reported that he would take her through the Suez canal and the Mediterranean and it may be assumed she was sunk in the Mediterranean as were the Persia, Ville de la Clotat, Yasaka Maru and several other steamships. The Glengyle was one of the largest steamships sunk since the activity of submarines in the Mediterranean became pronounced. there were between 200 and 300 members of the crew, so that apparently the death list will run largely in excess of 200. Such fragmentary accounts of the disaster as have been obtained from survivors furnish little new information concerning the circumstances of the sinking. All agree, however, that the Persia sank with extraordinary rapidity, within about five minutes of the time she was struck, affording small opportunity for rescue work. None of the survivors who has thus far reported his experience saw any sign of a submarine. The extent to which popular feeling has been troused in the added nations by the sinking of the Persia is indicated by the unrestrained tone of press comment. There is much speculation as to the possible influence of this event on the negotiations which are progressing between the United States and Austria. Justice Lamar Dead. Washington—Joseph Rucker Lamar, associate justice of the supreme court of the United States is dead. He was 58 years of age and had been on the supreme court bench five years. The immediate cause of death was gradual heart failure. The attending physician declared, however, that the primary cause was overwork due to the arduous duties of a member of the supreme court and as commissioner of the United States, in 1914 to the medi- ation conference between the United States and Mexico at Niagara Falls.
