Vote the Democratic Ticket Against Segregation and Discrimination! Democratic Landslide is Now Conceeded! VOL. 6 Plan on Foot to Make Wholesale Arrest of Colored Voters. Democrats Offer Rewards for Illegal Voters or Intimidators of Voters That the republican bunch is desperate and are willing to stoop to almost any kind of mean trick to escape the defeat they are sure to meet at the polls Tuesday is further evidenced by the avowed intention of the police department to arrest colored men indiscriminately Monday night and Tuesday in an effort to stop the democratic landslide in the 10th precinct. Six special officers have been hired for this game at the rate of $5.00 per day. The democratic committee and every colored citizen allied with the democrats desire a clean honest election and will give every aid possible to prevent fraudulent voting. The campaign committee (democrats) are offering a reward of $250 for any person found guilty of illegal voting or attempting to intimidate any legal voter. Republican Organ Gives Some Interesting Statistics On Existence of Vice and Crime Under Present Administration. The following article was clipped out of the Tulsa World of Wednesday and we reproduce it here to show very alarming conditions have grown under the present city administration. We submit it without further comment: March Has Been Bad Mouth for Killings. Blood has flowed freely in Tulsa within the last two months, according to the record of killings. With two or three exceptions the men accused of murder have been placed under arrest, and are now facing charges in the courts. The list includes about 16 killings during that period. Among the killings are these: Roy William was shot and killed at the Oliver rooms on the night of January 28. Carl Downing is now facing a charge of first degree murder and has been bound over to the district court. He is said to have killed Williams after a quarrel which started on North Main. After making his escape he gave himself up. Patrolman Glenn Allison was killed February 7th and John "Woody" Russell, charged with the act, will be tried at the coming term of district court. Mrs. C. H. Williams received fatal gunshot wounds at her home on South Kenosha on the night of February 5. Her death resulted the following day at the Oklahoma hospital. Her husband, C. H. Williams, was later arrested, and he has been bound over on a charge of murder. Webb Rowe, a negro, proprietor of a pool hall, was killed at the office of Dr. B. F. Smith on February 10, and his brother, Douglas Rowe, has been bound over on a charge of murder. His father, S. D. Rowe, who was also charged with murder was released. On the night of March 2 Lauren Hooper of Guthrie, was shot and killed almost instantly in Central park. Merritt "Doc" Damrell and Lloyd Duvall are held on charges of being the murderers of the lad. On Saturday night Joe Sring, the night waiter at the Katy restaurant, was shot by S. L. Miller, an operative of the council of defense, after the former had made disloyal remarks. Police Officer John Mains killed Stephen Ivenoff Bulgarian, who made pro-German remarks, after the latter had opened fire on him THE TULSA STAR Official Order of the Good Unite Order of Odd Fellows and The Knights and Ladies of Harmony of the World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction TULSA, OKLA. SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1918 A charge of murder was filed against W. A Greenwood, but he was exonerated and released after a preliminary hearing was held. His wife, who was killed in a scuffle over a gun, shot herself. It was held. There have been a number of negro killings in which guns and knives have been used with deadly effect. A negro named Williams was killed and Deved Johnson, who was captured by the police, faces a large of being guilty of the act. Abe Hudson, a boa edrrier, was shot to death during a quarrel with a negro woman known as "Flunkey." The latter escaped. Alexander Helsey was stabbed to death in a restaurant kitchen Saturday night. John Neighbors, accused of the act, is still at large. Lee Bertha Valley, a negress, was shot to death at Scales Sunday night, and Callamore Miller, a negro, was wounded. The officers are unable yet to determine who did the shoot-ing. Miller is in jail and is said to be wanted elsewhere on a murder charge. R. C. Helmick, a white man, was seriously stabbed by an unknown nugro, who held him up and robbed him Sunday. It is believed he will recover. His assailant has not been arrested. Hattie McRuffin, a negress, shot and killed Dora Hill, another negress within the past two weeks. She was released at the preliminary hearing on self-defense being estamished. Other negro shootings an dabblings have occurred, in which serious injuries and an occasional fatality resulted. REPUBLICAN CITY PLATFORM TWO YEARS AGO FIRST—The enforcement of the laws. SECOND—The prevention of all commercialized vice. THIRD—The prevention of any and all working agreements between law violators and the city officials. FOURTH—The closing and keeping closed of all public places of law violation. FIFTH—The enforcement of a rigged economy to the end that no money shall be paid out except for services actually rendered and then only where such service is a benefit to the taxpayer. SIXTH—The enforcement of a strict business administration in every department of city government, so that you can see at once where the money is expended and whether the city gets value received. SEVENTH—The inauguration of a movement to give to the citizens an opportunity to settle once and for all time the problem of an adequate supply of pure water for domestic and manufacturing purposes. EIGHTH—The opening of all city books for your inspection. NINTH—The reduction of your taxes without injury to our city. TENTH—The "boosting" of Tulsa and the maintaining of her reputation as the most progressive city of the middle west. If we are elected we pledge ourselves to manage the affairs of the City of Tulsa, not for the benefit of any man or set of men nor for the glory of any party, but for the good and benefit of the City of Tulsa and for all her citizens. The above is the platform the republicans went into office on two years ago. That they have failed to keep it intact is common knowledge and their own fault. Look it over again very carefully and with all justice and fairness you will be unable to find a single unbroken Democrat Platform At this time when the civilized c in a gigantic war to make the world State and Nation are straining ever war to the end that free government we, the Democrats of Tulsa, in mass pledge our unswerving loyalty and State and National governments.

At this time when the civilized countries of the world are engaged in a gigantic war to make the world safe for democracy, when the State and Nation are straining every nerve in the prosecution of the war to the end that free government shall not perish from the earth, we, the Democrats of Tulsa, in mass convention assembled, once more pledge our unswerving loyalty and devotion to the policies of the State and National governments. In presenting candidates for the city offices to be filled at the coming election, we call your attention to the fact that these candidates are the free and untrameled choice of the Democratic voters of the city of Tulsa. The Democratic party pledges its candidates to relentless warfare on the liquor traffic and gambling, and to a thorough-going co-operation with the Federal, State and County ogicials to the end that those who violate these laws may be punished severely and that violations of the law may be absolutely stopped. The city of Tulsa is entitled to a water supply, pure in quality and ample in volume, and to secure this we pledge the Democratic candidates to earnest and unremitting eorts. The city of Tulsa, in the midst of the greatest gas field in the world, sugers each winter from a great and utterly inexcusable shortage of gas, and we pledge the Democratic oxiicals to compel the Gas Trust to furnish an adequate supply of gas at all seasons of the year at reasonable rates. The city of Tulsa requires for its present needs, its future growth and prosperity, a greatly extended and unimpaired street railway system. We believe the excessive rent charges in Tulsa to be a great and growing evil which falls most heavily upon those least able to bear it; and we charge this to be directly due to the present inadequate street railway system, and we pledge ourselves to an earnest effort to remedy this condition and to secure the extensions and improvements reasonably necessary to meet the needs of our great and growing city. We denounce the gross incompetency of the present police administration which permits "hold-up men" to operate on the streets of Tulsa at will; we denounce the incompetent and brutal police who, under the guise of enforcing the vagrancy ordinances, drag respectable and responsible citizens to the police station first and investigate afterwards; we denounce the police system which restrains the citizen of his liberty and refuses him an opportunity to communicate with his family, his friends or his counsel. We pledge you a reformed police department, composed of bona fide residents of the city. The eight-hour day is now practically universal and meets with the approval of all thinking men. We believe that the police department ought to be so enlarged as to give the policeman an eight-hour day, and yet furnish adequate police protection to all parts of the city day and night. We believe that the enforcement of the building ordinances ought to be entrusted to experienced, competent men and not placed in the hands of men who are merely political favorites. We pledge ourselves to correct this evil. The Democratic party directs your attention to the Democratic county platform of 1916 and points with pride to the carrying out of those pledges. All good citizens are proud of the vigorous, fearless and efficient enforcement of the law by the Democratic county officers; with a city administration to co-operate with the State and County officers, we promise you a cleaner, biter, brighter Tulsa. We pledge our candidates to carry out the provisions of the charter requiring monthly statements of receipts and expenditures. We further pledge our candidates to make these statements in such language and form that the public may readily understand the exact financial condition of the city, and be informed what was received for the money expended. There was another special platform, built for the colored constituents of the G. O. P. This platform was constructed of the poorest, cheapest kind of material and therefore was completely demolished when after election the colored champions of the republican cause went to the city hall to demand the fulfillment of the pre-election promises. One of the plants was the appointment of a colored man as assistant city attorney. This was openly repudiated by the bunch once they were in office. Another was better police protection for colored people as well. This has provened a huge joke, as have all the other promises they made to their colored boosters. But one thing they did do and that was to pass a segregation act, branding the colored people of Tulsa as unfit to live among decent people. They lifted the ban of segregation from prostitutes and turned them lose free to live wherever they pleased and placed it upon the colored people of Tulsa as a mark of moral unworthiness. This is how the republicans the present city administration, paid for the devotion and loyalty of the colored people in the election two --- nflank in their platform countries of the world are engaged world safe for democracy, when the very nerve in the prosecution of the but not perish from the earth, is convention assembled, once more and devotion to the policies of the city offices to be filled at the com- to the fact that these candidates are of the Democratic voters of the s candidates to relentless warfare and to a thorough-going co-opera- tunity ogicials to the end that those fished severely and that violations had. water supply, pure in quality and we pledge the Democratic candi- ports. of the greatest gas field in the great and utterly inexhaustible short- ocratic oxicials to compel the Gas of gas at all seasons of the year is present needs, its future growth and unimpaired street railway cent charges in Tulsa to be a great heavily upon those least able to directly due to the present inadequate are ourselves to an earnest effort to the extensions and improvements needs of our great and growing city. ency of the present police adminis- ten" to operate on the streets of competent and brutal police who, parency ordinances, drag respectable station first and investigate after- cem which restrains the citizen of portunity to communicate with his we pledge you a reformed police residents of the city.

We fur- these statements in such language fidly understand the exact financial formed what was received for the years ago. Never before had the colored people of this city been so grossly insulted and without good cause. The same trick was tried under the Frank Wooden administration, the idea being introduced by Dr. Hawley, city health physician, an Ohio republican, father of the nefouous ordinance, but his little game was blocked by Mr. Wooden, a Texas democrat, who was then mayor of Tulsa. The only white people to fight the segregation propoganda before or since its passage have been democrats. A committee of colored men called upon the mayor and commissioners soon after it was passed and the mayor greeted them with: "If you boys have anything to say, you want to be brief because we have business to look after." And after stating the object of their mission they were given to understand that it was a good thing for them and with this dismissed. These are some of the things the colored people of Tulsa will not forget and no true hearted race man can afford to vote for such false friends as these. Mrs. Emma Paylor will be hostess to the M. & A. Club next Thursday. SIMMONS HEARS HIS FATE IN THE TENTH PRECINCT. At a mass meeting in the Cherry-Cleaver hall last night presided over by J. H. Goodwin, the fate of the republican ticket was read when A. W. S. Wright following a short speech by Mayor J. H. Simmons told those present that the colored people of Tulsa are tired of the Simmons administration and would vote Tuesday to give them a rest. Fred Douglas declared his neutrality, but Chairman Goodwin warned the people against divided interests or neutrality, saying: "Now is the time for us to show our colors." Among the other speakers [f soul 10] view Sumasao adj. go Quinn, Jesse Gabe, C. S. Younkman and J. W. Hughes. The sentiment at the meeting was decidedly democratic. Six Special Cops Appointed City Administration Tries to Make Good With Colored People in Last Hours Makes Desperate Effort to Stop Democratic Drive By Using Negroes as Tools on Police Force At last just three days before the election, the republican city administration has attempted to make good at least one of the promises they made the colored people before election two years ago—namely to give us plenty police protection and to that end six colored men were called in yesterday and given commissions as special officers with the promise of putting them on the regular pay roll after election if the republicans ticket is elected. The appointees are as follows: Clark Holdemess. Jack Cohen. A number of colored men refused to be used in this manner frankly stating that they intend to vote the democratic ticket. TULSA POLICE CAPTURES TWO DESPERATORS The city police force of Tulsa arrested two desperate characters on Monday evening in the personnel of Douglas Hodge and Bub Davis, 7 and 8 years old, respectively, the two being charged jointly with forcebly and unlawfully taking and appropriating to their own use a horse and buggy. The boys, both of whom live with their fathers here, one on North Hagin avenue, and one on North Frankfort avenue, were caught driving leisurely along Main street, when the officers discovered them and covering them with their guns marched them to police station, where they were held until Tuesday morning when they were turned over to Humaine Agent Welch, who sent them to their homes Tuesday afternoon. The facts seems to be that a white man picked the boys up and rode the into West Tulsa and back, after which he left the buggy with them, telling them to drive around and enjoy themselves, which they proceeded to do. If the horse and buggy was stolen the white man was doubtless the thief. Grand Master W. F. Smith is visiting York Right Lodge at Sand Springs and secured a lot for a building at once. He left Wednesday for Okmulgee. NO.21 Rev. Whitaker Out for Demos Pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church Tells Why He Is Not For Republican Ticket Tulsa, Okla., March 27, 1918. Editor Tulsa Star:: In an article of March 23, stating that one R. A. Whitaker had announced that he would support the democrat ticket, and since that time we have been called in question as to whether it was so, and since this is my only way to set myself right, is through the Star. I therefore wish to state that I am supporting the ticket I mean the whole ticke;t. Why? First, we need better sanitary conditions and police protection and an assistant health physician and quarters for the contagious disease, a pest house for our people Second, its to the best interest of all concerned. Third, we need to change our politics to meet the condition that now confronts us. The good white man changes to suit conditions and to get best results, and so must we; he votes to help his future and local conditions, and for the man that will help to his advantage; so must we. These many years we have voted the ticket of the G. O. P. and they have forgotten us every time until time come to vote again and they come and say "come on, boys, you know we are republicans, and we must stand together," but when he gets in he says the party thinks it best for us to be apart. I found out why the democrats have always gone against us—because we have always gone against them. "Now, boys," he said, "come and let us make friends, and try us one time and see if we won't allow you a chance." A trick untried is hard to justify. Let us try the trick once, we can not worst ourselves. It's the men we are after who we believe give every man a square deal; that's all we want. The conclusion of the whole matter is make friends with men, fo rwe need them in this present crisis. Let us settle the matter Tuesday by voting the democratic ticket straight. No pencil marks but democracy. The police of the nation great chieftain, let us start it at home. These four years that I have been here as a pastor I have ever stood for God and good government I have preached on the streets and in the church, pleading for better men If my life has been to anything religiously, then here me politically. I you heard me in a fe wthings hear me in many. Vote the ticket straight next Tuesday and make the city safe It's in your power, Mr. oVter, if you want what say now is your chance go to it.—R. A. Whitaker, pastor Mt NEGRO HAS 14 SONS IN AMERICA CAN ARMY Greensboro, N. C., March 27.—George Borden, negro of Goldsboro, has furnished sons to the war in the sum of nearly two squads.

Readers THE TULSA WORLD desperate in the fear of loosing the city printing contract at excessively high cost to the city, is working overtime in a vain effort to stir up race feelings in Tulsa by publishing a rediculous insinuation, false to the core, that the democrats have made certain improper promises to Negro porters. This is a rotten unscrupulous lie, be cause it was made to deceive the decent white people, who intend to vote the democratic ticket and shows the interest the republican organ has in "better government". No paper that tries to stir up strive and prejudice the mind of the public against the already too much oppressed Colored man unwarrantedly should be considered a sincere alvocate of good government. Why should the World resort to such low, dirty, contemptable tricks to elect the republican ticket if the men on it are clean, honest, capable officers? As a matter of fact the World, like most of the supporters of the republican ticket realize that the people of Tulsa will not stand for another term of republican rule, and like the petty politicians who have no merits that commend them to the people in a campaign invariably resort to small petty tricks of the game to appeal to the prejudice of the masses. But the people of Tulsa will not be deceived. They will certainly go to the polls Tuesday to correct the mistake they made two years ago, when Simmons and his bunch were elected.

The reckless, immoral men I've seen imposing on our folks, under the garb of gospel ministers for the last three years are really not fit for decent abodes in hordes, and the sooner you and other same men get together and drive them out of our state, and out of the nation, the better it will be.

THE TULSA STAR A SKETCH OF THE DEVINE PLAN OF GOD. Long before God said "Let there be light" and before man was created he had a well fixed plan of procedure concerning the salvation of the human race. Just as in the case of any intelligent business man, before beginning the construction of any great building, he makes out a blue print plan of procedure. All will agree that if any one would work on such building pleasing to the owner his work would have to be strictly in harmony with the plans and specifications, and that all work not in harmony wit hthose plans would be condemned as against the interest of the owner. God know man would sin before he made him and he could have created him without the ability to commit sin, but God had no such idea of making man a mere intelligent machine. He, then and long before, had countless numbers of agents that could not do other than his will. But he designed that man should love and obey him from an intelligent appreciation of the fact that to do so brings the greatest degree of happiness and to do otherwise brings pain and death. Hence we see the necessity of creating him with a will of his own and permitting him to learn valuable lessons from the exercise of same. God knowing in advance that man would sin, his love and wosdom arranged that he be rescued down the stream of time after having a long trip of more than 6,000 years upon the angry billows of pain, blood-shed, sickness, sorrow, pain, death. In due time God sent his only son to arrange (through his death) for a new trial for Adam and his whole race. When Christ said upon the cross, "It is finished," it meant that a new trial for life everlasting was secured for man. Now after this new trial was secured a day set in which Adam and his posterity would be brought before the judgment bar of God and given a most favorable trial for life everlasting, on the human plane; the same kind of life Adam had before he sined. All those in that day who (after having had such experience with sin and death and after seeing the love and power of God manifested in the resurrection of the dead) will not bear that priest and King will doe the second death from which there will be no more resurrection. The most blessed thing about this Judgment day is that the one who loved us well enough to give his life for us will be the Judge. This day is variously spoken of by the Apostles and Holy Prophets as the Judgment Day, the day wherein dwelleth righteousness. It is also spoken of as the Millenium. Let no one for a moment think this a 24-hour day, it is a 1,000 year day. The period between the time, when Jesus, by his death, secured a new trial for man and the time for beginning this trial is called the Gospel age. During this time God has been selecting a little flock from every nation kindred and tongue to be with the Lord as close to him as a bride and assist in judging the world in righteousness. During this Gospel Age the Lord has not been dealing with any one but those who have agreed to walk the narrow path, to suffer with his that they may reign with him. During the Jewish Age God only delt with the Pews and during this Gospel Age God is only dealing with the consecrated believers, the little flock, the Bride of Christ. Thank God that the Gospel Age is about closed and the bride has made herself ready and soon will be united in Heavenly wedlock to her Bridegroom and Lord and soon after which the great Judgment or human restitution will begin and the whole world of mankind, including Father Adam, will have a chance to gain life overlasting on the human plane. Some one may say I don't see such great blessing in everlasting life on the human plane but friend stop and think for a moment. Man will be perfect physically, mentally and morally. There will be no sickness, sorrow, pain, death or any such thing to molest or desturb. The Devil will be destroyed. Every individual will be a king. If you would get some idea as to what a perfect individual will be, call to your mind all the physical beauty there is in the world, all the knowledge of science, art, music, and what not and combine all these qualities in one person and as great as all this might seem to us we must remember that it only represents a feeble remnant of the qualities of a perfect man and which has been in a process of deterioration for more than 6,000 years. that the Gospel! and the bride ready and soon will evenly wedlock to and Lord and soon seat Jeudgment or will begin and mankind, includ- will have a chance resting on the hu- one may say I but blessing in ever- human plane but ink for a moment. but physically, men- There will be no bain, death or any st or disturb.

The church's hopes are not everlasting life on the human plane but life Immortal on the Devine plane life on the highest Spirit plane, the same kind of life on the same plane as Johovah. That is the great Prize and High Calling for --- which the little flook has been running during this Gospel Age. Man has not been satisfied to work according to God's plans. God did not plan the conversion of the world during this Gospel Age. God has his time set as to when he will begin the conversion of the world and that is after the Gospel Age has ended. The fact is that the selecting of a little flock during this age and the second coming of Christ are for the very purpose of concerting the world. Under the blinding influence of Satan most of the preachers have been acting on the theory that God was trying to convert the world during this Gospel Age and they have bused themselves during this age warning the people to join the church, pay up your dues, and go straight to heaven when you die or do otherwise and go to hell to burn forever. They have impressed the poor people that the building of expensive church houses and paying fat salaries to preachers are very necessary to keep their names on the lambs book of life. Every earnest hearted person can now see that God did not plan the conversion of the world during this Gospel Age for the reason that there is more sin and sinners in the world today than was when the Gospel Age started. To the purse in heart I say take courage, begin to read and reason for yourself and, as soon as possible, break away from the rank and file of error, ignorance, and superstition. Every earnest hearted individual agrees with me when I say that all work done in the name of the Lord which is not strictly in accord with the planes and specifications of the Architect of the Universe, will be condemned and dashed to pieces in the day of inspection or judgment. You selfish, ignorant, and unfaithful servants be warned. Osk God to help you change your ways while it may be well with you. The hour of inspection draws nigh. In conclusion I beg to suggest that the progress of God's Great plan (which no man can hinder) can properly be likened to a great building which, while in process of construction appears to be everything else but beautiful, but when it is finished and the roof scaffoldings are torn down then it is seen in its beauty and grandure. So it is with God's Great Plan of The Ages. When the unsightly scaffoldings of war, destruction, envy, race hatred, sickness, sorrow, pain, death, and evil in all its varied forms are torn down then the beauty and grandure of Jehovah's design will be made manifest to all and in that finished product will all God's Greatures, both in heaven and in earth, fully and joyfully recognize God's Justice, his Love, his Power and, his Wisdom. Then will come the desire of all Nations. RICHARD J. HILL. Phone 3169-J. Will produce to anyone desiring it.

WAS FORMERLY HOTEL WAITER AND TRAIN PORTER LIVED SIX MILES IN COUNTRY FROM OCALA, FLORIDA, WHERE BE WAS BORN STARTED PREACHING THREE YEARS AGO AS A STREET EVANGELIST Man Who Came to Tulsa and Left With Big Wad Is a Proven Imposter. Kansas Minister Who Was Born in Same Town as McDuffie Tells of His Duplicity. per for having done so. We offer have discharged our plain duty even to those who may condemn us for it and we care nothing for consequences. But as the final link in our chain of evidence we desire to introduce Some years ago a strange man made his appearance among the people of Oklahoma and by means of strange chimical tales of the wonderful blessings awaiting colored people who would only go with him to enjoy it. This man was "Chief Sam," a man who exercised a peculiar influence over great masses of our people. So much so that he could, would and did tell all girds of lies about the kingdom in Gold Coast Africa over which he presided and many of our people, some of them well-to-do and apparently intelligent believed him and were fools enough to sell their homes and other property to go with Chief Sam to Africa. The better thinking people investigated the African chief and his claims and found them false. They exposed the imposter, but the great majority of the people were pro-Chief Sam and would not listen to reason. As a result many of them cold everything they had and left with their new leader after raising thousands of dollars for him. The people fairly worshiped him and many life-long friends became estranged because of him. In some communities it was dangerous to speak against Chief Sam and his project. Finally many pulled away from their best friends and left with Chief Sam for Gold Coast Africa where they expected to live in peaceful blis blis luxury the remainder of their lives. But we all know what happened. Cablegrams and letters came to tell of the great suffering the chief's followers were undergoing. Appeals came for money or tickets to relieve them from suffering and death that threatened them and actually visited many of them. Eventually nearly all of those who lived over the experience returned with bowed heads admitting that they had been the worst kind of fools. The better, thinking intelligent people marveled that so many of our people were without reason or common-sense judgment in their religious frenzie over Chief Sam. But it was useless to denounce the imposter as many of us did, because the masses believed in him. So it seems in the case of S. Douglas McDuffie, who came to Tulsa for the expressed purpose of making money as a renowned shouting evangelist. He came and proclaimed proving himself an inveterate Har to the satisfaction of any sound minded clean hearted man or woman who heard him, but notwithstanding his bold and careless, wreckless method of handling the truth many of our people were wrapped up in him and almost worshipped him. In fact the masses seem to have followed him like hungry sheep following their shephard, notwithstanding his moral unfitness to lead them. It did not take the Star long to discover the man's true character and it was our duty to expose him as soon as we were convinced that he was a false leader. This we have done in the face of severe criticism. Some of our critics being those who have heretofore been friendly to us. For instance, a prominent business man, member of the church where McDuffie pulled off his show, had run an ad in the Star practically ever since the first issue of the paper in Tulsa, discontinued the same after our first attack on McDuffie holding them, as he probably does now, that we were not justified in the exposure of the great (?) evangelist. But our cause nor our conviction was not in the least changed, our affected by his action. Nor would it have been had every one of our advertisers withdrew their support from us just as this one did. It is the sacred duty of every newspaper to expose any and all kinds of corruption and whenever and wherever the Star finds it, certainly it will be exposed—regardless of the cost. We have maintained that McDuffie is a fake and a fraud, an inverterate liar and a sacreligious imposter. And we have produced the evidence to prove our contention. Still there are people weak minded enough to hate the editor of this pa- per for having done so. We offer have discharged our plain duty even to those who may condemn us for it and we care nothing for consequences. But as the final link in our chain of evidence we desire to introduce the following facts concerning the renowned McDuffie, and with these we close our case against his Satanic Majesty: He came to Tulsa about the first of March, heraleded as the race's greatest evangelist. In his introductory sermon he lauded himself as the peer of any latin or Greek scholar and boasted of his wealth, advertising himself as a resident of New York City with a summer home in the mountains of New Jersey, etc. His exaggerated statement that he had converted more than 800,000 people in seven years' time caused the Star to start an investigation, which resulted in proving that he was not known in New York. After which he stated that he was born and reared in Boston, flatly contradicting his former statement. Upon investigation this was proven equally false. McDuffie's Real Home Found. New evidence of McDuffie duplicity came to light last week when Rev. Geo. B. Wilson, of Salina, Kansas, came to Tulsa as a delegate to the M. E. conference and after reading a copy of the Star volunteered further information as to the character of Evangelist McDuffie. According to Rev. Wilson, who is well known among dignitaries of his church, and who is pastoring big church at Salina, McDuffie is all that the Star has said he was, and more. We will not go into details about what Rev. Wilson disclosed as to the former life and habits of the man who came to Tulsa and stole away the reason of so many of our people. We will simply publish his own statement written last Saturday morning after reading the Star. If the Rev. (?) McDuffie or any one else desires to make a statement to prove the incorrectness of the statement or any statement hedetofore appearing in this paper these columns are open to them. Rev. Wilson's statement follows: Must the Professional Negro Be a Common Liar to Lead His Race? Mr. Editor:—I was somewhat amused by reading your editorial on McDuffie this morning and while laughing a serious thought came to me. And I was forced to come to your rescue in your effort to locate the originality of Mr. McDuffie. That the people may know, he is the son of a widowed mother and the brother of a Baptist minister, both living in Marion County, State of Florida, six miles from Ocala. You may learn of his early life by writing I. P. Gadson, cashier of Metropolitan Saving Bank, Ocala, Florida. Most of McDuffie's life was spent as a hotel waiter and Pullman porter. He had little advantage in school, but has good natural ability, which runs along the "bluff" line, first to get through. He like, most inefficient negro bluffs seldom returns to a place where he has spent any time. It is the duty of all race-loving journals to call a holt on the impostate leaders. Go on! You are right!

U. and friends, I dee mit quite a pleasing duty to come before you at this hour and I am appreciative of it. Realizing that I am somewhat a stranger to most of you, yet, I feel that I am at my post. The subject that I bring to you is, "Efficiency in Religion." In history religion has given poor account of itself, but the spirit of God has ever been its divine corrective, when religious devotees have misunderstood both their God and their religion they have failed and had to face rebuke and miserable overthrow. So through stress and strain and storm religion has come more and more into the sunlight of place, and truth and joy. When we speak of "Efficiency in Religion." we do not speak of efficiency in something which has no place in history or in the life work of man. This fundamental principle is used in the shop, in the hall of legislature, upon the farm, in fact in every avenue of life. Our progress, our domestic, as well as our state civic, and national life depend upon the efficiency of religion. The greatest business in all the world is the Lord's business, and you and I are preferred stockholders interested in its success and that which comes to us represent our peace and prosperity, and if we want our portion increased we must increase our interest in God's business and I believe that means interesting ourselves in our neighbors. A call for "Efficiency in Religion" is a call for efficiency in the most substantial reality in this world. It is a call for efficiency in the reality, which means more than anything else as a moral power among men. Take the great religion of the world.
