A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAULS A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Public Laundry Abolished in High School Tulsa Mothers Took Hand in Fight For School Girls VOL. 6 Public Tulsa Mothers Fight For PATRONS OF COLORED SCHOOLS MEET SUPERINTENDENT OBERHOLTZER FACE TO FACE IN HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING TO REGISTER PROTEST AGAINST HIRING OUR GIRLS TO DO OUTSIDE WASHING WHILE AT SCHOOL WITHOUT PAY City Superintendent Yields to the Demands of Determined Mothers to Abolish "Outside" Washing Rule. PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION GROWS OUT OF "INDIGNA-TION" MEETING Mothers Agree to Furnish Sufficient Clothing for Girls to Follow Prescribed Course of Domestic Science Studies. It was an indignant and determined lot of true race mothers who met in the Colored high school building Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of registering their protest to the outrageous practice of compelling their daughters to do washing in the domestic science department of the high school for white people as described in the Star last week. Principal Woods had arranged with Superintendent Oberholtzer to be present and he made his appearance while the mothers were holding a free discussion of the subject following an unsatisfactory explanation by the domestic science instructor, Mrs. J. H. Goodwin presided over the meeting and allowed all who desired to express themselves on the subject, which a number of them did very freely and empathically. There was no mistaking their attitude. They were unanimously opposed to the system of outside laudering in the high school and the expressions on their faces spit determination to stop it. Mr. Oberholtzer, in his defensive explanation stated that the Star had been misinformed or mislead as to the facts in the case, but the editor was there in person to substantiate the truth of the report as it appeared in last week's issue of the Star. The editor told of the thorough investigation conducted by the Star office showing that the Colored high school was the only school in the city where the girls had been required to laundry clothes for outside people or for the public. This was excused by the superintendent by saying that the girls had been requested but refused to bring pieces from home to wash and that it was necessary to have clothes to wash, hence the outside laudering. But the mothers present demurred to this and all of them said their girls had never asked for garments to use in the domestic science department on wash days. The city superintendent was given to understand that the patrons of the school would not stand for their children to operate a public laundry at school and he readily agreed to abolish the practice. The mothers present agreed to furnish pieces necessary for their girls to wash in school. Before leaving the building Supt. Oberholtzer assured those present that he desired to help them by giving them a larger and better school and plead with them to manifest more interest in the school and their children by visiting the schools and co-operating with the teachers. The meeting resulted in the organization of a Parent-Teachers As- WEEKLY MAIL EDITION Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and The Knights and Ladies of Harmony of the World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction TULSA, OKLA..

Editor Tulsa Star, Tulsa, Okla. Dear Sir—My attention has just been called, through your paper, to the custom in your high school. IT IS AN OUTRAGE, and as head of the State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs, and in behalf of that organization of over five hundred women with courage and back-bone, I PROTEST, and offer you the womanhood strength of this body, if needed, in fighting the unjust, undemocratic and absolutely Slavish practice. If such truckling as this is used for HOLDING JOBS, let the Negro women of this entire state get busy. I can not tell how this information arouses my righteous indignation. You may count on me for any service I can render. Hoping that your entire colored citizenship will give you their SOLID support in this effort to down this pernicious form of race prejudice, and race sycophanty. I am, most sincerely, Mrs. Judith C. Horton, President Oklahoma State Federation Negro Women's Clubs. DOCTOR WICKHAM WRITES PROTEST TO CITY SUPER- INTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Complains of Treatment Accorded Negro Children. April 15, 1918. Mr. E. E. Oberholtzer, Supt. City Schools, Tulsa, Okla. My Dear Sir—The information is conveyed to the Negro taxpayers of this town that the domestic science class of the Negro high school is forced to do outside laundry work cheaper, at that, than what the regular washermen charge. This condition seems to have prevailed during the past year; and we further understand that the money paid for this "washing" goes to the school board. We further understand that you have informed Mr. Woods that any girl refusing to do this laundry work must be expelled from the school. The Negro taxpapers of this city are being treated badly enough in matters pertaining to schools without adding this odious "status" to their children. These children are sent to school to learn all that is possible to be conveyed to them and really not to do laundry work for someone "uptown." You have wanted us to help in the Red Cross work and Liberty Bond work, which we have cheerfully and willingly done, and will always be glad to do, and now we want you to eliminate the above mentioned conditions from our high school, and also to give our children some decent and fitting drinking water, the same as furnished to other scols. Hoping that you will consider the above and act in your usual fair-mindedness and right this condition, I remain, C. B. WICKHAM. M. D. Thrive by thrift THE TOWN OF LIBERTY Buy War Saving Stamps Pray For Health Tomorrow Sunday, April 21st, Set Aside as National Prayer Day for Better Health Conditions Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—In response to numerous cells for suggestions as to how National Negro Health Week may be observed, the following for the first day, Sunday, April 21st—has been issued by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, Dr. Robt, R. Moton, chairman. Specific instructions for observing the other days of Health Week have already been published in circular from and may be secured by addressing Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. In order that the people may enter heartily into the movement for better health and to the end that the program may be effectively carried out, it is suggested that the ministers of all the Colored churches throughout the nation, set aside the Third Sunday in April—the 21st—as a DAY OF PRAYER for better health conditions and that each minister agree to preach on this day a special health serman to his congregation, and arrange, if possible, for some physician to deliver a special health talk at an afternoon or evening meeting. In addition to this, each minister is requested to arrange, whenever possible, appropriate services which shall include a discussion of local health conditions and any other matters which in his judgment will make the Clean-Up Week a success. In cities and communities where there is designated a date other than April 21st to 27th for general cleaning, it may be well for Colored people in such cities and communities to arrange for their cleaning to be done as a part of the community cleaning. It has been emphasized, however, by Mr. Allen W. Clark, of the National Paint-Up and Clean-Up Bureau of St. Louis, Missouri, who will give the three cups that the local campaigns should continue longer than one week but that the opening date of each local campaign should be April 21st-27th. NICHOLS HARDWARE COMPANY EMPLOYES COLARDED CLERK? The Nichols Hardware Store of this city, has sprung into favor among the Colored people of Tulsa and vicinity because of a report that a Colored man is employed there as clerk. Wm. Cherry, who has been working for the company for some time is said to have been promoted to the duties of clerk. This is the second store in Tulsa to give such recognition to Colored people, the first being the Scott-Halliburton department store, which employs two colored women to serve there. EVERYBODY MUST HELP If Germany is to be forced to her knees, everybody must help. It is not a war of any individual or of any single nation, therefore, it behooves us to save and invest our money with the United States. There are unlimited fields for assisting our country. The civilian is just as essential as the soldier, and it is his duty to save that our army and navy may be properly equipped with the machinery of war. Remember your duty and buy War Savings Stamps. Every time you buy a stamp you are putting a plaster on the kaiser's eye. Sixteen Thrift Stamps with fifteen cents allied entitles you to a $5 security, redeemable at its face value in gold. COLORED TULSANS TAKE ACTIVE PART IN THIRD LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE Seventy-five Thousand Dollars is Goal to Be Reached by Wednesday. That the patriotism of the colored people of Tulsa is not to be questioned is proven by their interest in the Third Liberty Loan Bond drive which Tulsa has just put over the top. The colored people have helped in each of the Liberty Loan campaigns in Tulsa, but no special work has been done among them until this week when eight teams were engaged under the leadership of M. L. Harris to make a $75,000 drive, this sum being the quota for the colored people of Tulsa. It is reported that the colored people of Oklahoma City have subscribed $65,000, and the captains of the Tulsa teams have decided to beat Oklahoma City $10,000 by next Wednesday. There captains are as follows: J. W. Hughes, team No. 1; E. W. Woods, team No. 2; Mrs. Ora Brooks, team No. 3; Ed. Howard, team No. 4; J. H. Spears, team No. 5; Chas. Nimley, team No. 6; J. H. Smitherman, team No. 7; Clark Holderness, team No. 8. A. L. Phillips and Lee McGregor are two of the lientenants in the drive. An enthusiastic meeting was held in the public library, Thursday night, boosting the drive AN APPEAL TO THE 12,000,000 NEGROES OF UNITED STATES Our nation is engaged in a war for its very existence. To win this war we must have food, grow great crops of foodstuffs and substitute other foods for those most easily shipped to our associates in this war and our own soldiers in France, thousands of whom are men of your own race. The food administration realizes that the Negro people of this nation can be of the utmost help in food conservation and food production. Every Negro man, woman and child can render a definite service by responding to the appeal and instructions of the food administration and its representatives. The Negroes have shown themselves loyal and responsive in every national crisis. Their greatest opportunity of the present day, to exercise this loyalty, is to help save and grow food. I am confident that they will respond to the suggestions of the food administration and thus prove again their patriotism for the winning of this war. WILLIAMS GETS JUDGESHIP Popular Assistant County Attorney Succeeds Judge Standeyen The county commissioners last Monday appointed Hon. W. B. Williams, assistant county attorney, to succeed Hon. J. L. Standeven, who resigned the position of county judge to devote his time to his private interests. Both Judge Standeven and Judge Williams, his successor, are popular and influential men who enjoy the confidence of the general public. Judge Williams was formerly one of Tulsa county's stalwart representatives in the state legislature and for the past two years has served as first assistant to County Attorney Hon. George Reeves.

COLORED METROPOLIS RESPONDS TO CALL TULSA GETS BUSINESS COLLEGE American Business College Open Here With Eighteen Pupils The Colored people of Tulsa may boast of another enterprise or rather institution in the establishment here last week of the American Business College under the tutorship of Prof. A. Kenchion W. Hardy president of that institution at Oklahoma City. The American Business College or Prof. Hardy is said to be proficient in teaching the art of shorthand and typewriting and preparing his pupils for civil service examinations. With the government calling for trained men and women of this kind Prof. Hardy should have no trouble in enrolling a class two or three times the size of the one he has here. One or two finished pupils, however, will be his best advertisement. If the course is all that is claimed for it we should encourage Mr. Hardy to build up a real institution here. At present he is conducting the school in the Red Wing Hotel and may be reach by phone 6918. Lincoln Photo Plays a Hit in Hawaii Schofield Barracks, H. T.—Perhaps the most enjoyable entertainment that the 3,000 members of the 25th Infantry have ever had the pleasure to witness recently was that of the showing of the wonderful Lincoln photo plays, "The Realization," "The Trooper of Troop K," and "The Law of Nature," at our post exchange. Booked by Capt. C. J. Ballinger, as a special feature for the troops, these pictures were shipped all the way from Omaha, Neb., for a week's showing at the post. Fully the entire 3,000 men of the 25th and their of officers and families viewed with immense enthusiasm these wonderful pictures. "The Trooper of Troop K," showing our comrades of the cavalry in action brought cheer after cheer from the interested audience. So pleased were the men with the pictures that they induced their comrades of the 1st Infantry to also show the pictures at their post exchange.

Turner, prominent citizen, and banker of Boley, Oklahoma, was in the city on business Thursday and while here called at the Star office to pay his respect to the editor. According to Mr. Turner his town is the second largest assessed of all the towns in Okufuskee county in the Third Liberty Loan, their quota being $21,000.00 which he will say is raised without difficulty. Mr. Turner is president of the Farmers and Merchants bank at Boley and is well and favorably known throughout Oklahoma. He left early yesterday morning for Boley. TWO WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL BOYS ENLIST FOR SERVICE IN U. S. ARMY Jackson Callins and Ulysus Hughes, two high school students of this city enlisted in the army on Monday afternoon and left Tuesday morning for the training camps. Both boys were members of this year's granduation class and were allowed their diplomas. OFFICER ROGERS STOPS THIEF Pedestrains in the vicinity of Archer and Main streets were almost panic striken Tuesday morning when they heard a gun shot and looking up saw a fleeing figure suddenly stop and stand trembling in his tracks while Officer Rogers approached and placed him under arrest. Cy Harper had stolen a suit of clothes from one of his friends and had been arrested. At the Frisco depot he broke lose from the officer and made a dash for liberty. At the corner of Archer and Boston the fuguative, who had gained a top notch speed encountered Patrolman Rogers, who commanded him to halt. Before he could repeat the command Harper was nearly a block away. The officer pulled his heavy calibre artillery and fired one shot in the air. The fleeing man stopped and stood trembling evidently afraid to move until the officer approached and placed him under arrest.

A WORLD is now loud in its cry to down the a short while ago to incite and encourage it. THE ACTION of the supreme court last week in sustaining a mandamus suit compelling the election board of Okfuskee county to give Boley a voting precinct has met with general approval throughout the state. It is not only a victory for the race in Boley, but a decisive vote for democracy in Oklahoma. The decision of the state's highest tribunal, presided over by democrats, confirming the verdict of the district court, also democratic, sets at naught the erroneous belief among many of our people that they can not get a square deal from democrats. There is no questioning the fact that it was wrong to deny the people of Boley a voting precinct, and while the board which denied it to them was composed of democrats who acted arbitrarily both the district court of that county and the supreme court of the state, presided over in each case by democrats, have amended the wrong and restored to the people of Boley their legal rights and cloaked them with the laws of the state as future protection from such wrongs, proving to the satisfaction of all fair minded people that the true representative democrats of Oklahoma are men who believe in the higher principles of their party and will render even-handed justice. Alike to all regardless of race, color or politics. The people of Boley now have a splendid opportunity to make themselves a political factor in Oklahoma politics it is the guess of the Star that they will make well of it. It would be nothing less than blind stupidity on their part rot to do so. The citizenship of Boley is cosmopolitan and intelligent to a high degree. The leaders there will not fail to see the advantage of their new position and will avail themselves of the opportunity thus afforded to promote not only their interest but the interest of the entire race in Oklahoma. We can not overlook the fact that we have friends in both the demilitarizing political parties. Nor can we fail to recognize the fact that for the time being, and probably for some time to come, we must look to our friends in the democratic party to push forward our claims and to give us whatever we may expect from the state government. Therefore, it is nothing more than common sense and self-preservation for us to rally to the support of our friends in the democratic party with the same fidelity that has marked our allegiance to the republican party for more than a half century. There are no principles broader, deeper, higher or nobler than the fundamental principles of democracy, and the men who represent these principles as a rule, fair minded and liberal in their attitude towards us. Of course, there is an element in both parties which seems to thrive on their hostile position against the race, but this element is being rapidly consumed by its own fire, and the race is gradually coming into its rightful inheritance. There is nothing responsible for this more than our political diversification. All over the country black men are found voting with both parties and a very noticeable, and an important fact is, that wherever the black man is found a factor in both parties there the race is given more recognition. On the other hand where he is found a slave to the republican party there he is given less recognition, even big republicans. These conditions are well known and understood by the leaders of the race in every community and as a rule they are doing their part to enlighten the masses. We hope the people of Boley will keep in mind these facts and avail themselves of the opportunity now at their door. Let us think less of the "bad things" charged against the democratic party and more of the good things charged to them in our record book of memory. Instead of complaining of the obnoxious laws passed unfavorable to us, let us think of the decisions handed down by democrats from the highest courts in the country nullifying these laws and recognizing us as American citizens entitled to a fair and equal chance before the law. Let us think more of the true relationship of the races in this country and spend our money, our time and our energy, trying to perfect a state of mutual understanding and harmony out of the strained relations now existing between us—the two races—in the United States. There is no better way than by proving ourselves worthy and true to our friends in the democratic party as well as to our friends in the republican party. We would like to see our people elsewhere follow the examples set by the colored people of Tulsa in the recent city election. Here we put over a democratic landslide for our friends in the democratic party and the future will prove the wisdom of our action. A COLORED MAN is being held in jail at McAlester on a $3,000 bond because he said "one German soldier can lick three American soldiers." Now let's reverse the thing and say that one American soldier can lick three German soldiers and the kaiser too boot. Which is worse? Both are lies, of course, but one lie sounds better than the other. Moral: If you must tell a lie be diplomatic enough to tell a good one.

W. BRYANT (By Dr. B. A. Waynes.) Friends, today we have assembled to witness a sad occasion, not to observe a transformation of the inanimate arrayed in splendor, but to pay our last tribute to the greatest thing in the world, a human being. On April 5, 1918, God visited the home of Dr. D. W. Bryant and demanded a cessation of his life, leaving relatives and scores of friends to bemoan his loss. Dr. D. W. Bryant was born at Hazel Hearth, Mississippi, November 3, 1880. Thus his useful life ended at 37 years. When only a mere boy of fifteen, being inspired with fervent aspiration to educate himself, he entered Roger Williams University at Nashville, Tenn., and there remained for several years, only leaving after having received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. His conduct while there and his scholarly attainments won for him the highest esteem of all who knew him. Now being inspired by his uncle to become a doctor, he then entered Flint Medical College and there remained for one year. The next scholastic year, he entered Meharry Medical College at Nashville, Tenn., and there remained for one year. The next school he entered was the University of West Tennessee, and there remained until he received the degree Doctor of Medicine in 1906. Hts first practice was at Chickasha, Okla., where he enjoyed a large practice and was operating successfully a modern drug store. Now wishing to enter upon a larger field of usefulness in the medical world, he went to Oklahoma City and there remained for several years enjoying a lucrative practice as well as the proprietor of a large drug store. He then came to Tulsa, Okla., where he remained practicing and operating a drug store until the "grim reaper" cut him down. At no time during his life was he tardy in his church work, often leaving his business to further a church movement. And it is true, however, that he was styled a man of science, yet he did not recognize man as a supreme being, but only a microcosm of the universe. Science and philosophy his relation therein. The sun, 93 million miles distant from the earth, illuminates to perfection every infinitesimal part of an area 25 thousand miles in circumference, could only feebly imitate the brilliancy of the character of this magnanimous scholar, philanthropist, medical genius, and religious advocate. Friends, this old earth upon which we stand; the pyramids of Egypt, and the hanging gardens of Babylon, some day must crumble beneath the touch of time's effacing finger, but the character of this God-sent man will live throughout all future ages. When a thousand years shall have passed, he will be more appreciated than even now, his influence, his stand for justice, his plea for efficiency in the medical world, his work in the churches, societies, his ideas of consolidation among his people, and all that was indorsed by THE RE PLEASURE Open Every Day GOOD MUSIC AND Best Dancing in the Co EMMERSON & Mc THE REVERIE PLEASURE RESORT Open Every Day From 12 to 12 GOOD MUSIC AND GOOD ORDER Best Dancing Pavilion in the County EMMERSON & McDONALD, Proprietors REASONS WHY— Funeral South Haven away beyond South Haven and are any day.

In the community in which he lived, he was referred to as the modern light, not the light we call the effect upon the optic nerve produced by undulations and vibrations of an exceedingly subtle and highly elastic form of matter called luminiferous ether, but a mind endowed with attributes of sight, to point out the way for his fellow man, though filled with turmoil and vicissitudes of a rocky way. I would not attempt to eulogize him, because his work will compel his write to write him, not as a dead hero, but as a criterion for area of all ages; artists will seek his image to paint; musicians will sing of his noble work, for he has written his name indelibly upon the hearts of generations yet unborn and while we his contemporaries bemoan his loss, generations unborn will sing his praise, as do we Washington, Martin Luther, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, and Herodius, the father of history, or Anamnesis Therefore, friends, relatives, weep no more, his loss to us is God's gain in glory. The work of God must satisfy man, for his works are so complex until the human ear constructed by him to perceive sounds from sixteen double vibrations to two 65,000 double vibrations per second, could not even perceive the sound of the bugle call that landed him in eternity. We, too, are travelers through this barren land, and at some future day will sever our relation with this careworn world and some one will say about us: "There lies his body, returning to the mother earth from whence it came; yonder his soul, beyond the milky way, resting in the city of the holy of holiness STATEMENT OF OWNEBSHIP Statement of the ownership, management, circulation, etc., required by the Act of August 24, 1912, of The Tulsa Star, published weekly, at 115 North Greenwood, avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma, for April 1st, 1918.

TULSA, OKLAHOMA NOTICE THE TULSA STAR OFFICIAL FOOD NEWS OF FEDERAL FOOD ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL FOOD NEWS OF FEDERAL FOOD ADMINISTRATION FLOYD E. MILLER Public Information Director Norman, Oklahoma OKLAHOMANS SHARE FLOUR WITH ALLIES Reports from various parts of the state to State Food Administration headquarters reveal the fact that Oklahomans are sharing their flour with the soldiers and the allies who are fighting the battles of this country as well as those of their own. BIG HOTELS BAN WHEAT The big hotels of the county have pledged themselves to use no wheat products of any kind until September 1st. They have wiped wheat products from their menus until wheat is plentiful. This is the proper spirit. In Germany the rich are permitted to evade the food rules, while the poor suffer. But in France and England the wealthier classes are taking the lead in sacrifice, and America is following the examples of her allies. The large hotels in England and France serve the poorest meals; in Germany, they serve the best. GRAIN RULES HAVE TEETH A zone enforcement bureau has been established with headquarters at Kansas City. This organization will have power to detect and punish all violations of the grain rules regulating wheat and other cereals from the time they are marketed until the products reaches the retailer. All evidence will hereafter be sent to Kansas City instead of to Washington. A vigorous policy against dishonest practices and careless dealers is to be inaugurated, and punishment will follow much more rapidly hereafter. MUCH FLOUR RETURNED Beaver County reports that 1,500 sacks of flour have been returned by people who had a surplus, and that this amount was at the command of the government at the price to be fixed by it. Pittsburg County is yielding up its surplus flour, and it is stated that the merchants at McAlester are almost unable to take care of the returned flour. HOME GUARDS ACT In Cleveland County several Germans were holding excess wheat Home guards accompanied the county food administrator to the farmer's homes, and impressed them with the idea that boarding wheat is disloyalty and that all disloyalty would be stamped out. Much wheat has been marketed in Cleveland County. FARMERS SELLING WHEAT Many counties on the west side of the state that farmers are hauling in their wheat in excess of seed in response to the call of the government Grant County reports that much wheat has been marketed, and that more is being marketed as the necessity for doing so is understood by the farmers. RICH SACRIFICE MOST The food program in this county call for sacrifice, but it begins with the wealthy classes. People of wealth have the means to buy the foods that they are asked to save. Mr. Hoover has told the people of means that if food conservation is to be a success the wealthier classes must adopt and live up to the rules first. FOOD BRIEFS The citizens of Grimes County, Texas, have turned over to the United States Food Administration all its wheat flour and will therefore use no wheat flour until after the next har- vest. Cars are carrying the flour to the coast, from which it will be ship ped to the allies and soldiers. A pro-German is a person who eats no substitutes; whose heart is in Ger- many, whose head is in America, and whose neck ———? Sebastian County, Arkansas, has re- turned 2,350 barrels of flour in re- sponse to the call of the Food Admin- istration. Don't spill the beans by refusing to eat them. America is the granary of four-fifths of the world. We must not let it be come empty. Potatoes, beans and onion will keep Plant more. Oklahoma will be better off when the war ends. She will have less rabbits, less bugs, less dogs, less cats—and more health. Insurance companies state that their losses in Germany during the first two years of war were less than during the two years preceding Proper dieting is given as the cause of less deaths. Be healthy, patriotic, wise—eat substitutes. Six pounds of flour, and three of sugar per person per month is the new ration. But think of the rations of the people who are enduring the horrors of war. And think of all the other things we have to eat. The ban on meats is off till April 30. DECORATION DAY Is near.
