VOL. 6 SILVER WEDDING OF A BOLEY BANKER PRONES DAZZLING SOCIAL EVENT IN COL- ORED METROPLIS Boley, Okla., Jan. 15.—New Years Day, in Boley, was the occasion of the 25th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Jones, who were happily married in Middleport, Ohio, January 1, 1893. Mr. Jones is assistant cashier in the Farmers & Merchants Bank of Boley, and Mrs. Jones is instructor of music in the C. M. E. College, and also has a large class of students on the outside. Several invitations were issued and fully one hundred responded during the hours, from 3 p. m. until 9 p. m. The day was ideal. The sky was clear and the sun constant. The affair was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jones at their home on Cedar street, a neat bungalow. The interior of the house was decorated not elaborately, but, with Christmas greens and other decorations appropriate for the season and occasion. The affair was well appointed and beautifully carried out. Mr. Dennis Haynes facilitated in the role of presenting the guests to the host and hostess, after which they were ushered into a room where fruit punch was served by a bevy of pretty girls, and where the numerous presents were displayed. After a lapse of a few moments the guests were escorted into the dining room. Here, no pains had been spared to lend beauty. The dining table occupied its accustomed place in the center of the room overhung by a canopy of white wedding garlands entwined with silver threads, and fastened with five tiny bells at the four ends of the table, while the ends carried to the top of the ceiling were held with a very large white wedding bell, with five small bells nestled underneath. The center piece was composed of the wedding cake forming a pyramid mounted by a wedding ladder entwined with silver wreaths bearing the initials of the host and hostess. This cake was unique in that it contained a layer for each hour of the reception, the last layer, alone, being sufficient to serve sixty persons, and every time a layer was taken off it was a complete cake. Vases containing long-stemmed carnations of a pink hue lent color to the occasion at the four ends opposite the bells on the corners of the table. The guests were seated around the four walls, some distance from the table, and was served with chicken and turkey salad on lettuce leaves, saltine wafers, cheese fingers, ice cream, plain and fancy cake-, and mints. At this juncture, each guest was given a tiny silver wedding bell, and a cube of wedding cake in waxed paper, tied with silver cord, as a souvenir. We leave the dining room here, for space will not permit further description.

Otto Parks, 19 years old, son of Mrs. Burgman, 314 North Greenwood avenue, last Sunday night fatally stabbed Willie (Fattie) Surley, 21 years old, in a fight on Easton avenue, between Greenwood avenue and Frankfort street. The young men were rivals in the NOTICE TO THE PBULIC We have received information that a man is traveling about the state taking subscriptions to The Tulsa Star and giving eye glasses as a premium.

The Parks boy escaped after the tragedy and has not been apprehended, but the police are holding the Stewart girl in connection with the killing. Officers found the body a few minutes after the tragedy with life extinct. A deep ragged gash in the neck just above the left collar bone, one in the back, two in the side and one on the leg, either one of which might have caused death, showed that a keene bladed knife was the instrument used to commit the crime. It is thought others may be involved in the killing. It is known that several other young men witnessed the killing. Mrs. Burgman is heart-broken over her son's trouble. Like all good mothers she has tried hard to keep her boy in the narrow path of rectitude. Surley's body was shipped to his mother.

CLARK. Muskogee, Okla., Jan. — That the female constituents of the State Teachers' Association will have a better chance to control the elections hereafter is generally admitted now since the successful administration of Mrs. L. C. Clark, who was elected president of the association at Boley and surrendered the gavel here Dec. 29th, after thoroughly demonstrating the ability of her sex to rule. The executive ability displayed by Mrs. Clark in managing and ruling during each session which is by no means an easy job, was the cause of much favorable comment. Mrs. Clark's administration has been one of economy. Records show that the expense of the association during her term was less than ever 20 pua aqi w iqsu a su puu aqiqo her term was more money in the treasury. Seventy-five dollars was voted Mrs. Clark to represent the association at the N. E. A. next summer.

Muskogee Police Victim Laid to Rest Mid Tears and Flowers Hazel McDaniel Defends Soldiers POPULAR GIRL COMPLAINED OF LESLIE'S EDITORIAL—GETS FAVORABLE REPLY. MISS HAZEL B. MCDANIEL Perhaps there are hundreds of colored people in Oklahoma who read Leslie's Weekly and who saw, a few weeks ago in that publication, an editorial comment on the character of the Negro soldier, which comment was decidedly a slap in the face of the colored people of this country. But evidently there was only one who cared enough to complain to the publishers. That one was Miss Hazel B. McDaniel, a frail girl, whose race love and sense of right prompted her to write a letter to the publishers protesting against the reflection on her race. Miss McDaniel is a daughter of E. E. McDaniel of McAlester. She was formerly a teacher in the high school here. At present she is teaching at Sapulpa. Following is the letter the managing editor of Leslie's wrote Miss McDaniel in reply to her protest: New York, Dec. 22, 1917. Miss Hazel B. McDaniel. Dear Madam: Acknowledging your kind letter of recent date, I wish to say that there is no intention on the part of Lpslie's in any way to minimize the great work of the colored soldier. In fact I am a little surprised to find that three or four of our good friends have taken the Camp Pike pictures to heart as reflecting on your race. Leslie's is constantly in support of the men of your race and against injustice for any. I want to draw your attention to the article on the Officers' Reserve Training Corps for colored men in the issue of Oct. 13th. I think when you have read this you will feel that no affront was intended. Very truly yours, CONKLIN MANN, Managing Editor. MAN IS SHOT BY ROOM MATE Wm. McKennon is in the hospital with a bullet hole through his intestines and DeWitt Johnson, his roommate, is in jail charged with assault with intent to kill, following the result of a quarrel early Sunday morning between the two men. Drs. Wayne and Jackson treated the wounded man and he is thought now to be out of danger. edding! Victim Laid to and Flowers Funeral Largest Ever Seen in Muskogee Muskogee, Jan. 5.—The funeral services of Mrs Lois Perdue, teacher, club woman, Sunday school worker, member of Household of Ruth, founder of Library for Negroes, poetess and philanthropist, who was run down and instantly killed by the police patrol, were held at the A. M. E. church on Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. Rev. T M Greene officiating. Mrs J. W. Adams conducted the choir. The first number was "Blessed Assurance," which was beautifully rendered. This was followed by prayer from Rev. Nicholson of the C. M. E. church. The scripture reading by Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, of the First Baptist church, was in keeping with the services of the day. A beautiful quartette, "The Lord Is My Shepherd," was next rendered. The obituary was read by Rev. Sims former pastor of the A. M. E. church and it was followed by some very beautiful remarks as to the character and work of Mrs. Perdue as a teacher by Prof. E. S. Monroe, superintendent of city schools. Next came resolutions by Mrs. Rushing, representing the Federated Clubs; Mrs Hewitt representing the Teachers and Patrons Clubs; Miss McGhee representing Dunbark School; P. W. Henderson for the Eureka Lodge; Mrs. Arrington for the Household of Ruth. The solo, "Crossing the Bar," by Mrs. Juanita Stewart, was indeed beautifully sung. The Household of Ruth then conducted their services after which the funeral sermon was preached by Rev J. E. Toombs, of Guthrie, under whom Mrs. Perdue and her husband connected themselves with this church. Too much praise cannot be given Rev. Toombs for his very excellent and touching sermon. One of Mrs. Jerdue's favorite poems, "Music," was read by Mrs. Gray, of Douglas school, and the song, "Friendship," words by Mrs. Mrs. Perdue and music by Miss Carrie Booker, was sung by Mrs Martin accompanied by Miss Booker. This was the largest funeral (colored) ever held in Muskogee and the floral offerings, too numerous to mention, covered the casket and were banked around the altar. The Household of Ruth conducted the closing services at the grace. Interment in a vault at Love's cemetery. May her soul rest in peace. ORITUARY The deceased, Mrs. Lois Elizabeth Perdue was born in Montgomery, Alabama, October 4, 1879, and at the time of her death was 38 years of age. She attended school in Montgomery and graduated from the A. and M. College, Normal, Alabama, and graduated in 1896. At an early age she showed marked talent for writing poetry which talent she cultivated until at the time of her death she had published a book of poems, published a song and had a large collections of poems which she was preparing to put in print. where they joined this church of which she was a faithful member until death. The great work of Mrs. Perdue's life was the founding in company with other ladies the Library for Negroes. She secured from the city, the sum of $1,000.00 for the maintenance of the Library and had nearly In 1892 she joined the A. M. E. Zion church. She was married to A. C. Perdue August 30, 1899, and later they joined the A. M. E. church together. In September, 1904, she and her husband moved to Muskogee, Oklahoma her efforts with success in securing a part of the Carnegie fund.

One Year ..... $1.50 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .60 Entered as second class mail matter at the Tulsa, Okla., post office. Help to make Tulsa a good place to live in by first living the right kind of a life yourself. Now that the government insists that every able bodied man must work, go to war or go to jail it may mean that Tulsa will get rid of scores its idle, worthless, "no means of support" gentlemen of leisure. There seems to be an opinion prevalent among some of our editors that the familiar "Jim Crow" cars on southern railroads will disappear now that the government has assumed control of the railroads. But in view of the fact that the principles of "Jim Crowism" is practiced by the government in dealing with our soldiers, in the white house and elsewhere in the capital, and permitting it everywhere that white men want to enforce it, we do not believe the government will interfere to the extent of abolishing "Jim Crowism" on the railroads. The Kansas City Star gave a party free of charge to its patrons during Christmas week in the form of a popular moving picture feature called "The Seven Swans." But the disgrace of it all was the cruel and inhuman manner in which it treated its colored patrons. Without notice or warning Negroes on going to the hall found themselves "Jim Crowed" and assigned seats in a far away corner. Many of the colored attendants who had the manhood to protest were cruelly handled and insulted by police officers, and told that if they did not like their accommodations they could retire. When it is a supportive fact that fully one-third of the Negro population of Kansas City are subscribers to the Star and perhaps take as much delight in the fact that they are, to the detriment of a creditable Negro journal published in their city, it remains to be seen if those subscribers will resent this insult by refusing to longer read the Star. It is to be hoped that they will rise to the heights of their rights and civic pride and give the publishers of the Star to understand they will not endure such uncalled for indignities. THE people of Tulsa have suffered more this winter than ever before from the effects of being without a sufficient supply of gas. Some time ago the gas company raised their rates and at the same time from all indications, lowered the gas pressure. During the first cold snap last month the people of Tulsa were practically without gas for a whole week and much suffering resulted. A number of deaths have been traceable to this cause. The people have complained, of course, but to no avail. The gas company has the gas monopolized and the people are helpless. When cold spells come we must suffer patiently until the weather moderates. But that isn't the worst of it. Besides our physical suffering we must pay a bonus for the low gas pressure. The gas company is giving less gas and getting more money for it. According to statements sent out this month by the gas company many have been charged for more than twice the normal amount of gas used, when as a matter of fact far less than the usual amount was used. How long will the people of Tulsa stand for this big steal? WE want to urge upon you—every colored individual and every colored organization—the need of supporting your own race in business wherever possible. It is also your duty not only to your race, but to your son and your daughter, your brother and your sister, your father and your mother, to help those business institutions which will or do give them employment. Little as you think of it, did you ever stop to realize that if you would spend every cent that you could for groceries, for wearing apparel, for refreshments and for pleasure to colored merchants that thousands of colored men and women, now either out of employment or doing menial drudgery, could be doing things for which they are better fitted? Do you know that by refusing to support your own race or those white merchants who employ your own, that you are in a large measure responsible for many of the race's bright young men and women in this city who go wrong? Only recently a Greek ice cream saloon proprietor and fruiterer sought to have the police stop a religious street meeting. Yet colored people exclusively patronize these places. How many colored organizations are purchasing their ice cream and their pastry this season from a colored bakery and colored ice cream dealer? How many colored homes buy their furniture from a colored furniture dealer? GO ON THROUGH THE LIST. YOU think this over! LET US MAKE EMPLOYMENT FOR OUR OWN. TO DO SO MEANS RACE INDEPENDENCE AND PROGRESS. NOT TO DO SO MEANS RACE DEPENDANCE AND WEALTH FOR OTHERS WHO WOULD SEGRE-GATE YOU AND COVENANT AGAINST YOU BY MEANS OF YOUR OWN MONEY. To those of you who are in doubt and despair as to the future of the race in this country, let us assure you that you can and must do your bit now in insuring that future by building sure and steadfast now the race's commercial and industrial foundation. Fit your children to do the work of the world before the war is over. Keep as much wealth as possible within the race. The future will take care of itself.—New York News. THE MOST SENSIBLE and at once the most practical analysis of the emotional religious side as indulged in and encouraged in the churches of our race comes from the pen of Editor Hamlett of the Christian Index. He takes as his subject "Harnessing Our Spiritual Forces," and proceeds to analyze the too emotional indulgence of its worshippers to the detriment of a genuine every-day practical religious devotion. He says: "The spiritual powers of the Negro have not yet been used. Our emotional power is a veritable Niagara—unharnessed. Its beauty is the marvel of the world. It has furnished America her only music; it has influenced America's religious expression; it has furnished the most picturesque characters in American history, poetry, and fiction and awaits to make famous the American artist who can really interpret it; and it furnishes the basis for the greatest organizations the Negro has—the Negro church and the Negro street society. But we Negroes have not yet harnessed our spiritual Niagara—we have not yet read into it a social and ethical content. As Niagara has been harnessed to furnish power for lighting a hundred towns and driving thousands of ears, and turning the wheels of thousands of mills and factories, etc., etc., so our spiritual Niagara, harnessed, will lift our people to social and moral heights undreamed of. As religion has developed among us the greatest organization raises the most money, builds the greatest buildings, so it may furnish the best opportunity for a thousand other much desired achievements. Our religion has not done as much as it should to develop high family life, steady industrial habits, sober and strong physical life. Our religion has not yet extended itself into intellectual forms as it should. It has built schools, but has at the same time left whom it has trained limited in their opportunity for service. "Do we not think there is great opportunity in religion for promoting understanding between the races, and particularly for building up the Negro?"

SCHOOL NOTES WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL The school as a whole is progressing nicely but we are very crowded owing to the entrance of so many new students. The Freshman class is still in the majority. The Senior class has taken up the study of solid geometry, a science which requires much study, so we are not discouraged if we do not succeed at first. Our school was visited recently by three of the ex-graduates, who are attending K. U. DUNBAR GRADE SCHOOL NOTES The faculty and pupils of the school are delighted to have Principal Hughes back after an absence of three days due to illness. There are two weeks before promotions. We report a semester of hard work and a reasonable degree of success. Prof. Braxton is working hard on the physical upbuild of the pupils. 'he games which are being introduced this year are as interesting as beneficial. The Misses Woodford, Gordon, Patton and Mrs. Lynch speak of having had a very pleasant Christmas vacation at their various homes. The school rooms are again normal in appearance after the removal of the holiday decorations. The school is seeking to improve itself along the line of making the outbuilding more beautiful. Money has been raised by effort of the pupils and pictures purchased for the halls. The general attendance is less for the month on account of sickness in many homes, a number of cases of smallpox having been reported. There is always the most cordial invitation extended to the patrons and friends of the school, come borrow and lend encouragement. The desire of the teachers for this new year is a heartier co-operation between parent, pupil and teacher for the purpose of bringing about a stronger united action for good in the lives of our youth.

Hutton was taken seriously ill a few days ago, and it is feared that he has pneumonia. Not-withstanding, he is still the jolly, good-fellow which won for him from his many friends the sobriquet—"Daddy Hutton." The Priscilla Art Club met last Friday with Miss Cleo Clark. The ladies decided that their energy just now would be bent toward knitting for the Red Cross. The Emancysation celebration held under the auspices of the Dunbar Literary Society was considered one of the best programs of the winter season. The central rigure of the evening was Rev. Arlington Wilson of Muskogee, who held the audience for two hours in a wonderfully inspiring address, "Our Faces to the Future." Dr. Wilson is the orator of the Baptist ministry not only in Oklahoma but in many states. He discries ignorance and his slogan is "Preparedness." Mrs. Estella Bagsby recited well, one of Dunbar's selections. Mrs. E. Williams sang in her plaintive voice, "Aint You Got Me?" The quartette, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Willa Johnson, Mr. T. R. Johnson and Mr. P. J. McAlpine sang several jubilee songs. Miss H. B. McDaniel, president of the society, gave "The Reminiscenes of Slavery,"—a short talk on the evils of that institution, softened by the hope and faith of our forefathers. Mrs. H. E.
