·NOW is The Time For You to Strike in Defense of Our Own Girls! A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAGES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Slavery Existing in Colored High School! VOL. 6 Slavery Public Laundry By School Girl COLORED HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS COMPELLED TO WASH FOR "WHITE FOLKS"—65e A DOZEN MONEY SAID TO BE TURNED OVER TO CITY SCHOOL BOARD High School Pupils in Bitter Competition With Washermen—White People Sending Dirty Clothes to Colored High School in Preference to Laundries. What the domestic science department of the colored high school has been converted into a public laundry where our girls are compelled to wash and iron for white people at 65 cents per dozen pieces, is an unquestionable fact, be it said, to the great humiliation of the race and to the everlasting shame of those who are responsible for it. Late Wednesday afternoon the editor of this paper was informed that such was the case, and immediately an investigation was started which resulted in the confirmation. Prof. Woods, principal, was first called and admitted that the girls were required to do outside washing and ironing, but did not know what price was charged or what, if any compensation the pupils got. He was kind enough, however, to have his domestic science teacher call the Star office. This important personage called, and in a very sarcastic and discourteous manner demanded to know who wanted the information, and for what purpose, and finally said, "If you want to know anything about it, you call Supt. E. E. Oberholtzer, and he will tell you a you wat ntnowolk!" will tell you all you want to know," thus adding insult to injury. The domestic science teacher might at least have been courteous in her manner, since any and every patron of the school is entitled to any information concerning the management of the school, and it should be willingly and respectfully given. But hers was an arrogant, defiant attitude, much more so than the principal's. It is said outside washing and ironing has been in vogue at our high school for some time, and one or two patrons have stopped their daughters from attending this department because of this rule. The money thus earned by the girls of this department, it is said, is turned over to the board of education. After a careful inquiry it was learned that the colored school is the only one in the city where the domestic science girls are required or compelled to do outside laundering. But when asked if such rules were enforced in the white school, the teachers or heads of the school invariably referred us to the "Negro high school if you want washing done." For some time an undercurrent of justifiable dissatisfaction has been growing up among the patrons of the colored high school because of the custom of the teachers of having their dirty linen washed by the pupils of the school, and for other equally good reasons, but the climax has been reached in the establishment of a laundry in the domestic science department of our high school. And the colored high school is the only school in the city where the girls are hired out to the public without pay. Why this discrimination? Whf make slaves of our girls in opposition to unfortunate though worthy women of the communift who are tring to make an honorable living by washing and ironing? Who is responsible for this? If there is not enough manhood and --- WEEKLY MAIL EDITION TULSA, OKLA. SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1918 womanhood among the teachers of this school, including the principals to cry out against this discrimination against our girls, surely there are enough race-loving men and women among the patrons of the school to demand the immediate abandonment of this outrageous rule. When questioned by the editor of this paper concerning the custom, Superintendent Oberholtzter shifted the responsibility to one of his subordinates, a Mrs. Kimball, who is now in Kansas City. We do not know who is directly responsible, but we do know this is the most damnable outrage ever perpetrated against the colored people of Tulsa. The Star is diametrically opposed to this style of slavery against our own girls and will fight to the bitter end any such propaganda whether it comes from the superintendent of the city schools, from the principals, or from any other source. Our children are entitled to the same advantages and facilities found in the white schools, and ought to have, must have, principals and teachers who will at least ask for a square deal for them. It is high time the colored people of Tulsa look into the school situation here, anyhow. We are all too indifferent concerning the welfare of our children. We need to know more about the efficiency and the fitness as true race men and women of those employed to train the minds of our children and the only way for us to do this is to sacrifice a little time and investigate for ourselves. Not only should we visit the schools, but we should acquaint ourselves with the dailyl habits and characteristics of the teachers of our children. We are yet in our infancy as a race and creatures of circumstances over which we have only a very limited control, and for this reason we need big-hearted, broad-minded, farsighted, race-loving men and women at the head of our schools—men and women whose examples in every particular are worthy of emulation. A close investigation will show that we are sadly in need of such men and women in our schools here in Tulsa. Now is the time to make the demand. Boley Granted Voting Precint Boley Granted Voting Precint Supreme Court Directs Okfuskee County to Grant Petition OKLAHOMA CITY, April 9.—Mandamus brought against the Okfuskeau county election board to create a precinct in the town of Boley was sustained by the supreme court today in an opinion by Justice Hardy. The precinct is composed almost entirely of negroes. Petitions had been made to the county board for the precinct on the ground that a sufficient number of voters resided in the territory sought to be included in the extra precinct. This was shown in the proceedings to the satisfaction of the high court and under the statute this is sufficient to justify the granting of the mandamus. Thrive by thrift THE TOUCH OF HONOR Buy War Saving Stamps CAMPAIGN WORKERS ORGANIZED PERFECT HARMONY PREVAILS AT MEETING OF DEMOCRATIC CAMPION COMMITTEE TUESDAY NIGHT. Tulsa Civic League is Name of the New Organization. The colored democratic campaign workers met in Smith's hall Tuesday night and organized into a body to be known in the future as the Tulsa Civic League. The meeting was in response to a call issued by A. J. Smitherman, chairman of the Colored Democratic Club and manager of the campaign in the Tenth prefect. The purpose of the meeting was to select two committees, one to keep in touch with the civic conditions, needs, etc., in this part of the city, and to report its findings back to the body at certain stated intervals, and one to represent the organization and the colored citizenship before the city commissioners. It will be the duty of the latter committee to make all recommendations to the mayor and city commissioners pertaining to civic and political welfare of the colored people of Tulsa. After announcing the purpose of the meeting Editor Smitherman thanked those present for their loyal support in the recent campaign and expressed to them the gratitude of the newly elected officers and their expressed intention to make good with the colored people of Tulsa, after which he announced that he would take his place among the common fellows in the ranks but would not serve in other capacity. Capt. T. D. Jackson was elected president of the organization, J. E. Hardy, secretary, and J. H. Goodwin, treasurer. The program of the evening was carried out in harmony and every one present with one exception expressed themselves as pleased with results. Capt. Jackson is an active worker and plans some big things for the organization. In the near future. The two committees appointed are as follows: Vigilance Committee. O. W. Gurley, Wm. Cherry, J. H. Goodwin, Dr. C. B. Wickham, E. W. Thompson. Committee on Recommendation. E. A. Loupe, J. H. Smith, John Vaughn, James Cherry and Rev. R. A. Whitaker.

Dyer Would Stop Lynchings PUTS DRASTIC ANTI-LYNCH LAW UP TO CONGRESS Every Person in Mob Will Be Guilty of Murder If Bill Proposed by Dyer Is Carried Through. WASHINGTON, April 9.—The most drastic federal anti-lynching law ever proposed was introduced today by Representative Dyer, republican, which provides: Every person in the mob shall be deemed guilty of murder. He shall be tried in United States, not local courts. The county in which the riot occurs must forfeit $10,000 to the dependents of the deceased or, if he has none, to the United States. Special federal tax may be imposed to insure collection of this debt. Officers of the law from whom prisoners are taken for lynching are made punishable by a $5,000 fine and five years' imprisonment. Any person who favors lynching, or whose "opinions and character" are objectionable, or who refuses to answer questions on these lines shall be disqualified by the court as a juror in any lynch trial. Dyer's fight is the result of the lynching in Collinsville, Ill., of a man suspected of disloyalty. Dyer aso had the East St. Louis race riot in mind. BILL McCLAIN RENEWS AC-QUAINTANCE WITH NOTED MISSIONARY FROM BELGIUM Madam Beaneutt, the Belgian missionary, who lectured here Monday night, was not too proud to recognize on grounds of equality a black man whom she had met during his fame as a promoter in Europe, and so when she stood face to face with Billy McClain in the office of Charles Page, she eagerly extended her hand in a friendly manner and in perfect Belgium greeted him as she might have greeted an old friend. She had heard of Billy McClain and remembered that she once knew such a personage in her native country. She sent for him. He came and the happy renewal of acquaintanceship followed between Billy and Madam Beaneutt, who is a distant relative of King Albert of Belgium. IMPRESSIVE SERVICES AT FUNERAL OF DR. BRYANT THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE ATTEND FUNERAL OF WELL KNOWN LOCAL PHYSICIAN Head of State Medical Association and Other Members of Craft Pay Last Respects. The funeral of Dr. D. W. Bryant, who died last Friday night after a long illness with the dreaded plague, was held at the Mt. Zion Baptist church, last Tuesday afternoon, from 2 to 5 o'clock, during which time a very impressive program was rendered. Dr. Watson acted as master of ceremonies and the Mt. Zion choir furnished music for the occasion. About 300 people attended the funeral, and many obituaries were offered. Among those who delivered verbal eulogies were Dr. W. L. Haywood of Oklahoma City, president of the State Negro Medical and Pharmaceutical association, and Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, pastor of First Baptist church, Muskogee, and president of the State Baptist convention. Among the visiting friends of the deceased besides those already mentioned were Drs. Young and Bethel of Oklahoma City; Drs. A. G. Wallace, Okmulgee, and W. B. Humphrey, Sapulpa. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. F. Kersh, an intimate friend of Doctor Bryant. It was Reverend Kersh who married Doctor Bryant to his wife in Chickasha several years ago. In the course of his remarks Reverend Kersh alluded to the wife who was present, telling how Doctor Bryant had spoke of his loniness during his last days and how he had referred to his wife, who had left him, for another, and pointing his finger in the direction of the trembling woman, Reverend Kersh said, "You have a chance yet to meet him in heaven." The woman dramatically protested her innocence, saying between sobs, "I did not desert him. He knows I did not desert him." The funeral was handled by the Jackson Undertaking company, under the auspices of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. organizations. 1910 The Late DR. D. W. BRYANT --- School! ERVICES AT F DR. BRYANT (By H. J. Watson, M. D., Master of Ceremonies.) It is with a feeling of peculiar tenderness and reverence that we approach the sad duty of this occasion. We assemble here this afternoon for the express purpose of paying our last tribute to our brother, the late Dr. D. W. Bryant. My personal knowledge of him revealed inborn qualities which strengthened my friendship for him and held it to the last. Friends, if in youth one would be permitted to shape the end of his life he could not wish for it a happier termination than that which closed the mortal career of Dr. D. W. Bryant, full of years, full of fame, full of honors. He closed a life crowned with domestic peace and happiness; the esteem and confidence of his people, and that consciousness of duty faithfully done, which more than all things gives sweetness to life and takes bitterness from death. He died as one who knew that the gates of death were but the portals of immortal life. As a practitioner he was analytic and discriminative; analytic because his mind was naturally of an analytic turn; liscriminative because he was always a man of good judgment. He believed that a man should be superior to circumstances and that honesty, intelligence and perseverance would win in the battle of life. Between the labors of building up a large and lucrative practice he devoted much time to churches, societies and enterprises which had for their special mission the uplift of the people. What does this outpouring here mean? It means that Dr. D. W. Bryant's life has touched the lives of these people and that he will be remembered in this community long after his ashes have been gathered together, his name and fame will illuminate and illustrate the virtues that our girls and boys should honor in life. I shall not undertake to recount in this brief communication the record of Dr. D. W. Bryant's accomplish- ```markdown ``` --- NO.23 The Popular Price Store Silk Petticoats special today in several of the prevailing styles, $6.50 values values at Silk Waists, $1.49 a special purchase of Jap Silk Waists, v dollars, and a regular ue at Priced special today in several of the prevailing colors and styles, $6.50 values.....$4.45 $7.50 values at .....$5.45 Silk Waists, $1.49 One lot, a special purchase of Jap Silk Waists, white with colored collars, and a regular $2.50 value at .....$1.49 SHOE SPECIALS TODAY Values Women's Shoes Value Women's Shoes Value Women's Shoes Uses Shoes Value Children's Shoes BOY'S SHOES value; sale price value, sale price BOYS' SHOES SIZES 11½ TO 2 values values Set styles now shown in Women's Queen Priced----$5, $5.50, $6, $6.50, $7, $7.50 King Quality Shoes Special values choice values, choice Men's Dress Shirts, 79c of Dress Shirts in late novelty stripes, w 14.00 and $1.25 shirts price $15.00 values Women's Shoes $11.60 at - - $12.50 value Women's Shoes $9.35 at - - $8.00 value Women's Shoes $6.95 at - - $4.50 Misses Shoes $2.95 at - - $3.00 value Children's Shoes $1.95 at - - BOY'S SHOES $4.00 value; sale price $2.75 at - - $5.00 value, sale price $3.45 at - - BOYS' SHOES SIZES 11½ TO 2 $2.50 values $1.95 at - - $3.00 values $2.35 at - - The latest styles now shown in Women's Queen Quality Slippers.

TULSA, OKLAHOMA NOTICE --- THE TULSA STAR THE END OF THE WORLD HAS COME. Based upon the scriptures and the facts and circumstances as we now see them, our humble position is that we have reached the end of the world. But before giving our evidence, it is very necessary that we fully understand the meaning of the word WORLD, as used in the scriptures. This word has reference to a particular ORDER OF THINGS that exist within certain designated period of time—order or dispensation is the thought. God's great plan for dealing with man is divided into three great periods of time called dispensations. The first dispensation (from the creation of man to the flood) is called in the scriptures, "The world that was," The second dispensation (from the flood to the second coming of Christ) is called "The world that now is, or the present evil world;" and the third dispensation (from the second coming of Christ onward without end) is called "The world to come wherein dwelleth righteousness." The first world, the apostle Peter says, "being overflowed with water." 2 Peter 3:6. The second world is to be destroyed by fire (trouble and anarchy) 2 Peter 3:7. Earth in symbolic language means organized society, and heavens means ecclesiastical powers or spiritual control. Because of unfaithfulness God withdrew his favor from the Jews as a nation and gave the Gentiles a lease of power to try themselves at governing the world. In God's plan the Gentiles, like the Jews, needed to learn from experience their inability to properly govern themselves. The Gentile Dominion has been, according to scripture, a period of 2520 years, and this is corroborated by secular history. The bible clearly points out that the Gentile' times began with the overthrow of the Jewish king Zedekiah, and the enthronement of Nebuchadnezer of Babylon, in the autumn of 606 B. C. It follows then that the full period of 2520 years would expire in the autumn of 1914 God foreknowing the course man would take told through his prophets Joel (3:9-15) and Daniel 12:7) the present world conflict. Prophecy is simpyl history written in advance. We now submit twelve reasons from the prophecy of the greatest prophet in the universe in support of our assertion that the present world, or dispensation, has reached its end. Five days before His crucifixion, His disciples asked Him privately, "Tell us what shall be the proof of the end of the world," (Matt. 2433. The Gentiles had a lease of power for a stated time and when that time expired the Lord began proceedings to oust them. The time expired in the fall of 1914; referring to which Jesus said: "The nations were angry and thy wrath is come and the time of the dead that they should be judged." Exactly on time ambitious rulers of earth started the great world conflict. Further answering the disciples Jesus said: "Nation shall arise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be famine and pestilence and earthquakes (revolution) in divers places." Further answering concerning the Jewish people: "They shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled." Every student of prophecy has understood that the return of the Jews to Jerusalem would mark the end of Gentile dominion and the beginning of a new order. As additional evidence Jesus said: "The gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then the end shall count." This has been fulfilled. The bible has been translated into every known language and carried to every nation on earth. In further reply to the disciples' query, Jesus said: "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the end of the world." He then adds in substance that the people gave little or no attention to the people's proclamation of the end of that world. For 120 years Noah warned the people that the world that then was would end, but they scoffed and mocked then as they do now at such talk. Additionally, Jesus answered the inquiry: "The sun shall be darkened and the moon shall fail to give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken." Revelation gives us a key to these symbols: The sun represents the gospel of Christ; the moon picturing the Mosaic law dispensation, and the stars the great ecclesiastical teachers. How wonderfully this is fulfilled now! The world in its mad rush is giving little or no heed to the Gospel of Christ (sun is darkened.) The sacrifice of animals to the Jewish dispensation, which foreshadowed the great sacrifice of Jesus is being repudiated by higher critics (moon falls to give her light.) The clergy's position is above that of all others; but the great majority have fallen from their exiled power. sition of teaching the Gospel of Christ, and have taken their part in the common politics of the world (stars have fallen), as a result of the clergy's unfaithfulness the powers of heaven (ecclesiastical system) are being shaken. Humanity is questioning the clergy and their creeds and desire to know waft part the Lord is playing in this great conflict. Continuing Jesus said that at the end of the world there would be upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring (restless humanity) and men's "hearts failing them for fear." Who doubts the fulfillment of this scripture in this very hour? We have not attempted to produce all the evidence we have at our command to prove that the end of the world has come, but are satisfied to rest our case upon the testimony of our Lord Jesus. Summing up the evidence as obtained from the Lord Jesus when asked by his disciples to tell them what shall be the proof of the end of the world, we find true to our Lord's statement, in 1914, the nations were angry—nations are against nations, famine is threatening, pestilence is undermining humanity, especially venereal diseases, which are said to be more destructive than war and is smiting all grades of society, and both sexes of all ages. Earthquakes (revolutions) are rumbling in divers places. The Jews have returned to Jerusalem. The Gospel has been preached to every nation, as it was in Noah's day. The people are heedless of the warning that the end of the world has come; the sun (Christ's righteousness) is darkened, and the moon (law dispensation) is not giving her light; the tsars (the elergy) have fallen from their spiritual position of truth; the powers of heaven (ecclesiasticism) are being shaken, and distress with perplexity is upon the whole earth and men's hearts are failing them for fear. It, as we are confident, the world is at an end we have much as yet, according to scripture, to experience. A day of darkness and gloominess, let all the inhabitants of the earth tremble for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can abide? (Joel 2:2-11. "And I bring distress upon men, because they have sinned against the Lord," (Zeph. 1: 14-18.) "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you." (Jas. 5:1-6.) "Theirir and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in that day of the wrath of the Lord." (Ezek. 7:17-19.) "Then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world." (Matt. 24:21.) There is always some pain and suffering accompanying the birth of new conditions, but the distress, pain and agony which will accompany the passing of the present order of things and humanity's birth into the world to come will be many folds greater than it would have been had the clergy done their duty as faithful servants, and seen to it that Christian-dom was fed upon the proper food of God's word and plan of salvation. The clergy as a glass have existed since the third century. Some have been good, honest christian men, but by far too many have been unfaithful, disloyal, unrighteous men. In chapters 33 and 34 the prophet Ezekiel scathingly arraigns this class and points out how they are responsible in a greater degree than any other class of men on earth for rthe preesnt war and the great trouble that shall follow. (Ezek. 34:3-4; 1 Cor. 10-21.) Let us leave the dark picture for a moment. The apostle, Peter, after describing this trouble time says: "Nevertheless, we, according to his promise look for a new heaven (spiritual control) and a new earth (earthly government) wherein dwelleth righteousness. The scripture abounds with promises that a righteous government is to be established in the earth. (Isiah 9:9.) Our Lord Jesus himself promised that during his reign all who are in the tomb shall come forth and that all shall have a fair and impartial trial for life. The scriptures abound with promises that there shall be a resurrection of the dead both of the just and the unjust. (John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15, 17, 31.) In conclusion I wish to say to the pure in heart, the consecrated, that the end of the world has come therefore let us look up and lift up our heads for our redemption draweth ATTENTION KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ELITE LODGE No. 103 K.
