A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST HALES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING WEEKLY MAIL EDITION Colored People of Louisville Will Fight to Finish Republican "Jim Crow" Law! VOL. 6 Colored Finis KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS PLAY OLD TRICK WITH COLORED CONSTITUENTS. PAYS FOR BLACK VOTES WITH "JIM CROW" ORDINANCE. Louisville, Ky.—"Butchered in the House of his friends" is the state the Colored voter of Louisville finds himself in since the victory of the "Republicans" at the polls last November. The most astounding move yet made by the Republicans was the introduction of the Jim Crow street car ordinance in the Board of Aldermen last Tuesday night. The proposed bill was presented by one W. H. Zeiser of the First and Second wards. The Jim Crow part is covered over deeply with a mass of propositions in which the author intends to "McAdoo the local railway" and have a city owned car system. All the propositions, if they have any merits at all, fade into insignificance to the Colored citizen when he reads Section 30. That is where the dyed-in-the-wool, right-or-wrong, old-time Colored Republican, who can see nothing in a voting booth but the log cabin, gets the shock of his dear life. For here Mr. Zeiser, good old Republican friend and brother, kicks his Colored brother in a most sensitive and vulnerable spot. Asks Separation of Races. Section 30 of the ordinance provides for separate accommodations for white and Colored passengers, but "the same shall be of equal and like quality, comfort and convenience, and without discrimination." The separation may be by separate cars, fired divisions, or movable screens or other methods of division in the cars. Failure to provide this separation shall be punishable by a fine of $50 for each offense. Conductors who fail to enforce the separation clauses hall be subject to a fine of $20, and passengers who wilfully disobey this clause also shall be fined not less than $20. Motormen and conductors are given police powers to enforce this provision." How nice that the separate compartments "shall be of equal and like quality, comfort and convenience, and without discrimination." When Knight, a Democrat, proposed this sort of thing, Colored people were dismayed but not surprised. Dismayed because at this late day any man would propose such a backward as well as mischievous step. But they were not surprised, because as a political measure they could expect nothing from a party they had opposed blindly and unreasonably all their lives. But coming from the Republicans it has not dismayed them as much as surprised them, because for years and years, they have been practically the Republican party—as far as voting goes. So Wednesday morning, on every hand, wherever Colored people met, they expressed their surprise, chagrin and disappointment over the failure of the Republicans, locally, to measure up to the lowest standards of the first-class Democrats of the town. The News sent a man to interview a number of the old-time Republicans—not the modern lily-white species, but the old-timers, who thrived on the spirit of Lincoln and Sumner, but the best he could get out of them was a sad shake of the head. One very prominent Republican who was nearly elected to a high office a few years Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and The Knights and Ladies of Harmony of the World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction TULSA, OKLA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1918 ago, did express himself most emphatically against the Chilton-Searcy gang Also, in the presence of the News representative he called up a certain al derman and received his promise to fight the bill to a finish. VIOLIN VIRUOSO ENDS TULSA ENGAGEMENT Miss Grozia Corneal, the accomplished violinist, completed her engagement at the Dreamland theatre Thursday night, where she has been electrifying large audiences by her classy playing. Miss Corneal has enjoyed many educational advantages, as well as having attended some of the leading conservatories of music, and is rapidly winning her way into the front ranks of the musical world. Theres' no question about this young woman's ability as a musician, as she is truly an artist with the violin. Miss Corneal made no mistake in securing the services of the veteran newspaper man, Theo. Baughman, as her manager. The Star takes pleasure in recommending Miss Corneal to the music loving people of Oklahoma and other states. OFFICER KILLED BY BANDIT. BOLD HIGHWAYMAN FELLS. CAPTOR AND ESCAPES. Patrolman Glenn Allison, white died in the Oklahoma hospital Thursday afternoon as the result of a blow on the head struck Wednesday morning by Woody Russell, highwayman who had been arrested following a series of holdups the night before Emil and C. Craft, brothers, are being held in connection with the crime Russell made good his escape. PRESSING CLUB ORGANIZED. The Tulsa Pressing Club is the name of one of Tulsa's newest enterprises. It opened for business yesterday at 318 East Archer with Messrs. Gomer and Anderson as the sole owners. Members of this club may have all their cleaning and pressing done for the sum of $1.50 per month. Such clubs are common in most cities the size of Tulsa, but this is the first one to open in this city. Many have already paid for membership tickets, and no doubt many more will when they learn of it. City May Close All Pool Halls City May Close All Pool Halls BITTER FIGHT EXPECTED FROM OWNERS OF BALL AND CUE PARLORS. The Tulsa County Council of Defense has requested the city to close all pool and billiard halls in Tulsa during the war, and City Attorney Meserve has prepared an ordinance to this effect, which wil probably be presented to the city commissioners next Friday. The owners of pool halls are waging a vigorous fight against the proposed ordinance with the hope of defeating it. Job Work is Our Specialty Try us. Phone 931 WELLS OPENS NEW LUNCH ROOM. L. W. Wells, the popular proprietor of Wells Quick Lunch Stand on North Greenwood, has secured a lease on the building at 120 North Elgin and is fitting it up for a first class lunch room, which he says will be a credit to Tulsa. Mr. Wells is one of the best chefs in the city. He is well known by both colored and white people and is sure to make a success in his line because the crowd will certainly follow him. MRS. McGREGOR SUCCUMBS Death Claims Wife of Prominent Grocerman. Mrs. Callie McGregor, wife of Lee McGregor, a groceryman on North Greenwood, died at her home Thursday at 1:45 o'clock p. m., after a long illness beginning last September. She was 44 years old and up to the time of taking ill she was active in church and society work, being a member of the First Baptist church, the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, the Court of Calanthe and the Eastern Star. Besides her husband, two boys, one a stepson, a brother and mother survive her. Funeral services will be held at the First Baptist church at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. DICTATOR MESERVE STOPS BOXING CONTEST City Attorney Tells Fight Fans to Save Spare Money for Soldiers. The boxing contest between Scotty Williams and Ben Miller scheduled for a 15-round bout at the Palm Garden last Monday night did not materialize. The fans were there in good numbers, all anrious to witness the bout, when City Attorney John Meserve, accompanied by the chief of police entered and after a short conference with Billy McClain, announced that there would be no boxing because the soldier boys needed the money they were about to spend for an exhibition of the manly art, and advised the fans to return home and save all their spare money for the soldiers. McClain had obtained permission from the mayor and city commissioners to stage the contest, but Meserve stepped in the ring with the spirit of a real dictator and stopped the bout. Mayor Simmons says he couldn't do it, but Billy says he did. Meanwhile the fans will hold their money and their temper until the next bout is announced in the Referee. COLORÉD FOOD EXPERT IN CON SULTATION AT WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Feb. 2.—Professor George W. Carver, director of the Tuskegee experiment station, has just returned from Washington, District of Columbia, where he went at the invitation of the Department of Agriculture, to demonstrate the sweet potato products which he has been experimenting with successfully during the past year. Professor Carver reports that his meeting in Washington was most encouraging and states that it is the purpose of the government to make future experiments with the sweet potato to ascertain how some of the eighty-eight products which he has worked out may be used in connection with the nation's war program of food economy. Concerning the dried sweet potato, one of the products which Professor Carver has been experimenting with, the rural New Yorker says: "Prof. Geo. W. Carver of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama recently sent us samples of dried sweet potatoes, the first we have ever seen. They came in excellent condition, and our people pronounced them quite equal to the fresh product when cooked. It was only necessary to soak them for a short time, and then cook in the ordinary way. These potatoes came in such excellent condition, and were so near to the fresh product, that it seems as if this preparation of the sweets ought to become a great industry. It is possible to produce more food from an acre of sweet potatoes than can be produced from any other crop growing in this country, and the very nature of the sweet is such that unless stored carefully it is short-lived. Some one in the south will find it possible to develop a great business in drying and selling sweet potatoes." HAVE YOU READ IT? IF NOT, ORDER ONE TODAY!

TULSANS PAY LAST RESPECTS TO MRS. WOODS The funeral ceremonies over the remains of Mrs. Alberta Woods at the A. M. E. church last Sunday was one of the largest ever seen in Tulsa. The school faculties of the Washington high school and the Dunbar grade school were the principal participants in the ceremony. The serman was preached by Rev. C. R. Tucker, pastor of the A. M. E. church, of which the deceased was a member. Principal E. W. Woods left Sunday afternoon with the remains of his wife en route to Greenwood, Miss., where the body was buried Wednesday. Mrs. Woods was active in church and Sunday school work and had many friends here to mourn her loss. IN MEMORY OF MRS. ALBERTA MAY WOODS. (By Mrs. Lillian F. Williams.)

May thy soul be cast in glory, Where the souls of angels dwell, For thy life was one sweet story We to little children tell. Full of pleasure, full of beauty, Free from aching and despair, Since on earth you did your duty Makes you now an angel there. We are lonesome, Dear Alberta, But our Savior knows the best; Took he did thee from all sorrow, To the land of righteousness. Alberta, if you could but tell us Why you left us O! so soon, For thou didst wither like a flower, Thou didst die a tender bloom. Gone thou art but not forgotten, Gone to dwell with angels fair, In the path of truth you've trodden, You shall find a solace there. Alberta, we shall never forget thee, Tho' you've gone to yonder shore, Where the angels will be with thee, Clad in raiments white as snow. RACE GLEANINGS Official information comes from the statistical bureau at Washington that negroes of this country own 20,000,000 acres of valuable land, equivalent area to the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island combined. This statement is highly gratifying, and indicates that the negro has realized the value of land owning and farm development. The two sisters of Wm. Breckenridge, one of the negro soldiers hanged at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., have secured the consent of the government to have his remains disintered and shipped to them for burial. The County Auditor of Marion county, Ind., has appointed Mrs. Celia M. Stewart, a competent colored woman, to a position as clerk, and claims that she is highly efficient and giving perfect satisfaction. A Mr. Bartles of Bartlesville, Okla., is reported to have presented a $500 Liberty Bond to Alvin J. Hawkins, a colored page at the Baltimore hotel, who attended to his wants whenever he was a guest at the hotel. The chief of police of Chicago has appointed one captain, one lieutenant and six sergeants and fifty-five patrolmen, all negroes, to duty on the police force. This is a splendid recognition of the ability and worth of our race as trustworthy guardians of the peace of the great city of Chicago.

On the 11th and 12th of February, 1918, beginning at 8 p. m., sharp each day at the Colored Library, on Archer street, there will be a lecture on the Devine Plan of the Ages. These lectures are calculated or intended to awaken in the thoughtful a careful study of the bible and to show, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the bible does not contradict itself, but only appears so because of the varied human misrepresentations and not because it is so in fact. The fact is that the bible is harmonious from Genesis to Revelation. The gist of these lectures will show, from a bible standpoint, that God has a wonderful plan of salvation and that the period in which he is working out this great plan is divided into three parts called "Dispensations," termed in the bible "The World that was, the world that now is, and the world to come;" that in the world to come the whole race of mankind from and including Father Adam up to the present time that have gone and are going into the great prison house of death will be resurrected and given a chance for everlasting life, but all those who, notwithstanding their experience with sin, will not near that prophet, in that day, the world to come, will die the second death from which there will be no resurrection. The lecture will further show, from the word of God, that the penalty for wilful and intelligent sin is death and not eternal torment. That this whole earth is to become a world-wide Eden wherein there shall be no sickness, sorrow, pain, death, race-prejudice or oppression of any kind for the Lord Jesus Christ and his saints will be rulers in all the earth in that day, the world to come wherein dwelleth right-ousness. The lecture will further show that we are at the end of this world, this present order of things and standing upon the very threshold of the world to come, wherein dwelleth righteousness, but before the world will be permitted to enter, it must go down in defeat in all selfish plans, naturally, financially, industrially, religiously and socially, Nothing will be permtl- less Silks in light blue, pink, green, ; a regular $1.29 SILKS AT $1.89 le of Kimono Silks; latest Oriental le; $1.89 ted to withstand or pass through the present fires which is predicated upon selfishness. When the present shaking has spent itself we may look to see nothing remaining but those acts that were predicated upon love out of a pure heart. In other words, according to Devine plan, the world must be purified before it can properly appreciate God's great blessings. God spared not his only son but permitted him to suffer ignominy before exalting him to the position where he now is, "having all power in Heaven and on earth." So it is with the world, it must pass through a dark night of gethsemane agony before it will be permitted to enter the "world to come" wherein dwelleth righteousness. Friends, come prepared to criticize and not to accept anything that is said unless it is shown in the word of God. Our position is that any one who is not open at all time to have their religious belief questioned is acting from a selfish standpoint and sailing under false colors. There will be one night, after the lectures, set apart for the purpose of giving any one a chance to ask any and all questions they may desire concerning the bible and the Devine plan of the Ages. It will be absolutely necessary that you attend both the lectures and also the question meeting in order that you may get a fair idea of this wonderful plan of God. We invite questions knowing that God's word can take care of itself. Yours in the love of the Truth. RICHARD J. HILL RED CROSS NEWS The colored branch of the Red Cross turned in to the Tulsa chapter on Wednesday twenty-four hospital bed sheets, 2 knitted scarfs and 3 pairs of socks.
