LET US CONTINUE TO DO OUR DUTY IN WAR RELIEF WORK! A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Race Stands Acid Test For Patriotism! Halesian Jim Crowism, Segregation And Other Race Discriminations, Tho Humiliating in The Extreme, Have Not As Yet Killed The Negro's Patriotism VOL. 6 Race S Jim Crowism, Segrega Discriminations, The Extreme, Have No Negro's I 700,000 BLACK MEN REGISTERED FOR MILITARY DUTY 100,000 Now in Training Camps and 28,000 in France. The colored people are rallying to the call of patriotism all over the country. They are giving their sons, their money, and their energies to the task of mobilizing the Nation for the cause of democracy. For the Negro holds his citizenship high. The friends of the United States are his friends. Its foes are his foes. The United States draws no color line in the army and navy. It summons Negroes to arms just as it does whites. More than 700,000 men of of these have been called to the train-color registered, and already 100,000 ing camps to fit themselves for service. Thirty-six per cent of all the Negroes examined were certified as physically fit for the National army, a ratio higher than the whites can show. In 16 cantonments scattered throughout the northern and southern states and black troops are being prepared to meet the Hun. In the old Regular Army of the pre-war days were four colored regiments—the Twenty-fourth and the Twenty-fifth Infantry and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. These troops proved their value in Cuba during the Spanish-American War, just as they did in the Indian campaigns on the border. They are notably steady under fire, patient to endure hardships, cheerful and good-natured at all times. And they can fight. The War Department has organized a division of colored troops, known as the Ninety-second. To lead these men 750 colored officers were commissioned after a course of training at Fort Dodge, Iowa. Already a number of Negro chaplains have been named to serve with these and more are soon to be appointed. Three regiments of Artillery have been formed and a school for Signal Corps training has been organized. Howard University, an institution for colored people in Washington, D. C., will be kept open this summer to supply technical training to promising men of that race. At least 150 Negroes are engaged in Y. M. C. A. work in the army. Some of these are now in France with the troops serving under Gen. Pershing. Back of the actual fighting army is the army of civilians at home. The Negroes of the country have joined in every activity that evinces a spirit of patriotism. They show a whole-hearted desire to take their full share of the war load. They support the principles which President Wilson has defined for us, and they assume cheerfully the burden laid upon the country as a whole. The way that the colored citizen has taken hold of the Liberty loan is encouraging. Five thousand Negroes recently attended a patriotic meeting in a small North Carolina town and established a record for the quick purchase of war saving stamps. "This is good but not at all surprising," comments the Charlotte (N. C.) Observer. "The southern Negro has long ago proved his intense patriotism. In wars of the past he has shown that his valor is second to none, and in patriotic undertakings in civil life he has done his part when once that part has been made WEEKLY MAIL EDITION Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Old Fellows and The Knights and Ladies of Harmony of the World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction TULSA, OKLA., SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1918 clear to him." The Mosaic Temple, with headquarters in Arkansas, subscribed $25,000 to the first Liberty loan and later invested an additional $50,000. Recently Secretary McAdoo telegraphed the Knights of Pythias of Florida, another colored order, his appreciation of their subscription of $25,000 for bonds. The Provident and Mutual Insurance Co. of Durham N. C., put $5,000 of its spare funds in the loan. No figures are available to show the total amount of bonds and war savings stamps purchased by the colored people. As a rule they have bought at the banks where they did business, and no record has been kept of sales made particularly to them. But to show how extensive these have been it may be mentioned that Amos Scott of Philadelphia has sold to date bonds to the value of more than $80,000 to negroes of that vicinity. Both white and colored speakers have toured the country to enthuse the Negroes for the Liberty loan and the response has been eager and enthusiastic, an emphatic repudiation of the German propaganda which has attempted to stir up the colored part of our population to sedition. The organizations in charge of war recreation have not forgotten the colored troops. As much is being done for them pro rata as for the white soldiers. The Commission of Training Camp Activities, which coordinates the work for the soldier done by the American Library Association, the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Y. W. C. A., the Jewish Board for Welfare Work, and other organizations, loks out for the colored troops as well as the white. The "Y" huts and the Liberty theatres are open to all, and at Fort Funston, where the Ninety-second division is stationed, a Liberty theatre for colored troops alone is soon to be opened. One of the most important factors in gingering up the troops is mass singing, which has both a recreational and military value. The singing of a song lifts the weary man over the last mile of a long hike and under the discomforts of camp life raises the spirits and breeds comradeship. he colored troops are the best singers in the camps. he have a natural gift for expression in song, and a spontaneous originality born of the joy they find in it. At one camp a quartet gave "A Perfect Day" with response in gospel hymn fashion that brought down the house. The War Camp Community-Service division, which takes care of the soldier in his relations to the adjoining community, serves the solder regardless of color. It establishes hostess homes in the cities adjoining the camps for the use of Negro troops when off duty. Dinners, dances, and vaudeville shows are furnished. From Washington, for instance, each week amateur or professional entertainers are sent out to Camp Meade to amuse the men. Recently the teachers of the Dunbar High School (colored) gave a Frenchvh play and afterwards repeated the same drama in English. One of the purposes of the Community Service is to fight the German propaganda that has been busy trying to poison the minds of the colored people. This took the form of stories that the Negro troops are to be sent to France first and are to be sacrificed to save the whites. he whisper ran that many more than the proportionate number of colored men had been drawn for service. Leaders of the Negro race went out and answered these charges in meetings, explaining how baseless they were. The War Council of the Y. W. C. A. is devoting $200,000 of its $5,000,000 was budget to its work among Negro women. The money is used to provide maintenance for hostess houses for the families of colored troops for emergency housing and recreational work among colored girls in war industrial centers, for furnishing workers where there is no local Y. W. C. A., and for doing anything possible to protect colored girls in war time. The workers in these houses help the women relatives of men in the service and encourage them to take advantage of the present unprecedented opportunities in the industrial world. Moa of the Army camps already have hostess houses for the colored troops. The one at Camp Upton is a training school for workers at the other encampments. Three large recreation centers for Negro girls have been opened in Washington, Brooklyn and New York. The colored secretary of the national board of the Y. W. C. A. has charge of this work. Through her the Negro women are inspired to rise to their opportunity, and, as the white women are likewise doing, to maintain the wage and labor standards of the men whose places they are taking. The activity of colored women in Red Cross and other war work has been notable. At Washington, for an example, all Negro troops coming from Fort eMade are met at the trains and invited to the hostess house at 1634 Fourteenth street, where food, amusements, reading matter, entertainment, and beds are supplied to the boys on furlough. The war has brought to the Negro a better chance for national self-expression than any event in his history, and he is making the most of his opportunity. Much of the best talent of the race has been absorbed in meeting the need caused by speeding up war industries. Graduates of colleges and technical schools have found a ready field for the use of their knowledge and trained skill. The demand for educated Negroes has exceeded the supply. No such impetus has ever before been given to education for the Negro. It is true that the fliteracy of the race has decreased from 90 per cent at the close of the civil war to 30 per cent today, but the necessity of wiping out ignorance has been called sharply to our attention by the demands which the war is making upon our man power. The proper training of the Negro is a problem which concerns both races. To leave one-third of the colored people undeveloped is failure to utilize the resources of the Nation. TULSA MAN MAY HAVE * VALUABLE MEDICINE FOR THE SAMMH Some time ago Rev. C. Dearman of this city, manufacturer of the famous Hottentott medicine, communicated with Senator Robt. L. Owen offering his medicine as a remedy for pneumonia, meningitis, etc. for soldiers. Senator Owen referred him to the Surgeon General' of the U. S. Army and Dearman wrote this official concerning his medicine, with the result that he has been assured that if occasion arise the Hottentott remedy may be tried on its merits. PAGE WINS BIG OIL LEASE SUIT TOMMY ATKINS CASE ENDS IN FAVOR OF PAGE Judge R. E. Campbell Awards Lease At Muskogee Monday to Chas. Page and Minnie Atkins LITIGATION BROUGHT TO CLOSE Contention That Tommy Atkins Was a Myth Is Overruled by the Verdict Rendered. On Monday in Muskogee Judge R. E. Campbell, United States judge for the eastern district of Oklahoma, handed down a decision in the ce- lbrated Tommy Atkins case, in which he decided the issues between the various claimants in the case, and held that Minnie Atkins and Charles Page, the lessee, were entitled to the property and the royalties. Judge Campbell decided the long disputed and litigated question as to who was the mother of Thomas Atkins. He held that Thomas Atkins was the son of Minnie Atkins, born at Granny Letcher's home in Leavenworth, Kan.; thereby sustaining the claim of Charles Page and his associates, and destroying the contention that he was a myth. He held that Henry Carter, another claimant, was not the son of Minnie Atkins, but the illegitimate son of another woman; and held further that whether Nancy Atkins ever had a son or not, about which he expressed the gravest doubts, the Dawes commission did not enroll that son, but did enroll Thomas Atkins, the son of Minnie Atkins. This, in all probability, disposes of the case finally, because the opinion of Judge Campbell meets the proposition of the government that Tommy Atkins was a myth, by holding that he actually existed; and meets the proposition of Nancy Atkins and Henry Carter, by holding that it was Tommy Atkins, the actual son of Minnie Atkins, who was enrolled by the Dawes commission. Inasmuch as the judgment of the court, therefore, disposes of every issue in the case with a judgment on the facts, it would seem to be final and conclusive. Charles Page's victory in this case will inure to the widows and orphans at the Sand Springs home. More than a year ago Mr. Page deeded all of his interest in this Atkins property to the Sand Springs home. MUSKOGEE CITIZENS TO SEND THREE DELEGATES TO WASHINGTON NEXT MONTH According to word received here this week the three race men who will go from Muskogee as delegates to the National Liberty congress which convenes in Washington, D.C., next month, will be amply provided for by the race men and women of Muskogee, who are now endeavoring to raise $600.00 for the expenses of the three delegates, or $200.00 each. The Muskogee people have a reputation for doing big things in a big way and in this they are simply living up to their reputation. On an occasion of this kind when men are leaving their business at a great sacrifice to go on a mission of such vast importance to the race it is right they should be well provided with the necessary funds and the people of Muskogee are to be commended for their loyalty and high sense of duty in this particular instance. Tulsa is LANGSTON PREPARES FOR A BIG ATTENDANCE equally loyal and the delegate from this city will not be lacking in financial and moral support. ODD FELLOWS HEAR ANNUAL SERMON Rev. Tucker Fires a Broadside Into Social Conditions in Tulsa. The local lodges of the Odd Fellows turned out in a body Sunday to the Mt. Zion Baptist church to hear the annual sermon preached by Rev. C. R. Tucker of the A. M. E. church. A band from Sapulpa headed a parade composed of members from each of the local lodges, including the Household of Ruth organizations. The basement of the Mt. Zion Baptist church was packed to full capacity to hear Rev. Tucker, who it is said, scored the social conditions in Tulsa.

THIS COMMON PLACE ANIOM that no race can ever rise above the level of the moral status of its women is true without question, but this axiom must carry with it the fact that the male contingent of the race should also possess the standard of high moral and elevating acumen in order to substantiate the idealism of its womanhood. A race is judged by its standards of moral, elevating and high aspirations of social and Christian character, and takes its place in the ranks of civilization in so far as it meets the approval of the best of manhood and womanhood. Therefore it should be the desire and hope of any race to strive for the highest pennance of moral standards and self-respecting lives. As with races so it is with communities, individuals and homes. To purify the social lives of each of these should be the ambition of all that the education and training may be highly developed and exemplified. No community or people need hope to be honored and respected without these elements of social standing. Our own community here is greatly in need of a purer and higher standard of moral activity. A line of distinction between the good and the bad, a line of democracy between the polished lady and gentleman and the rough, uncouth and degenerate individual. We have the unheard of custom in Tulsa of little or no class distinction being drawn in the social life of its people. A co-mingling of all classes without regard to character, social standing or the manner of living. We have it from reliable sources that in our public schools are one or two teachers whose reputation is common notoriety as being morally unfit for the position, but is at the same time accepted on equal footing with the best classes of the city. To say that any community looking forward to the best in life for their children or the establishment of social standards for the community and yet tolerate these adverse conditions which are reflections upon our standard of good morals and social environments. We believe there are enough of the high-minded, lovers of an ideal standard of race morals and character to overbalance the tendencies to the lower strata of the unwholesome element who are undermining our social structure and degrading the race the community and the home. First of all let the well-meaning portion of our people rid the community of the immoral teacher, and those who pose as leaders leading lives of questionable respectability. Set up a standard of morals and force a line of class distinction that every man and woman must come to before they are recognized as respectable and upright citizens. It can be done, it must be done to safe-guard the future of our boys and girls who are now taking of ways and actions as examples for imitation. We have been playing the part of moral cowards too long; we have been too afraid of hurting somebody's feeling; we have been too careless of our duty not only to ourselves, but to our prosterity; we have been too free, entirely, in our social commoningling. As a natural consequence the really respectable and well-meaning people are often thrown in direct contact with the moral slums of the race. The churches and lodges are no longer protection against these unwholesome conditions. There are as many moral lepards in the churches and lodges as there are out of them in proportion to a relative population. These are hard facts and we might as well wake up NOW and fortify ourselves for the fight that must come, if we would have social purity in Tulsa. Our wives and daughters are associating daily with women of lewd character an dmen who have no regard for the chastity and virtue of womanhood, and our boys are being brought up under conditions worse than those found behind the prison walls. And in the face of all this we are standing with folded arms supinely looking on while the foundation of our very racial life is being destroyed. Because of these conditions, more than anything else, the race is suffering the humiliation of "Jim Cromism" and other discriminations. It there is a spark of true manhood and womanhood left in the community (and there is) it should enlist in the fight for true racial uplift. The time is now here. The fight is on. Will you enlist?

Tokyo, Japan, May 15.—The newspaper Hochi Shimbun endorses the prophecy of Theodore Roosevelt that the Pacific ocean some day will become the theatre of international activity and foresees the day when several powers will become rivals for dominion over the ocean. While the main motive of the other powers will be economic, the paper points out that in the case of Japan the Pacific problem is one of life and death. It says: "Suppose Germany finds a way out through Russia to Siberia and America, with bases at Honolulu and Manila, cements relations with China and Siberia and shuts off the seas south of Formosa. Then Japan will be like a mouse in a trap—helpless and hopeless. Hence the question of what shall be done with the south Fraternally, J. H. HAMILTON.

Owl THE WISE BIRD WHO SEES EVERYTHING AND KNOWS EVERYBODY Now don't everybody git skeered and run. Dis bird don't intend to hurt you. Jest want to make you better. We jest handing out shoes permiscus. If dey fit you, you wear 'em. It's de hit dog dat hollers, you know. De ole bird been taking in de sights dis week, trying to git acquainted wid de situashun and he has seed nut already to hang most of de 'hi ups' bof men an' wimmen. It used to be de rule, when dis bird was young, for young unmarried wimmen to intertain young men till 10 o'clock at night, den say "good night." But it seems to dis bird now dis rule done changed an' dey intertain 'em till dey git sleepy. Even de married wimen, sometimes intertain men (not deir husbands, either) till near midnight an' later, when de husband is not home. And some of de married men is jest as bad or worse. It may be de fashion now, but it don't seem right to dis bird fer married wimen an' married men to conduct deyselfs as dey do in Tulsa and dis ole bird gwine to squeal on 'em ef dey don't stop it. Some of de teachers in de colored schools better 'prove dey morals 'cause dis bird is got de real dope on 'em; and ef dey know what's best fer 'em dey will leave while leavin' is good. De ten cent dude dat flirts wid every girl he can an' makes er specialty ob making fools of weak-minded married wimen better take en hint from dis ole bird an' git scarce 'round Tula. Dis bird knows er fellow dat has no wife ob his own but he's mighty fermiliar wid other men's wives. He lays fer 'em lak er wolf layin' fer lambs an' calls 'em into his den as dey pass by. Dis bird don't spect no better ob dis cuss, 'cause he is er wolf in sheep's skin, but some ob de wimen dat stops in dare at his biddin' ought to know better. Some day dis cuss will stop de wrong 'oman an' dare'll be a funeral dat he wasn't figerin' on. De fellows dat planned de robbery for Sunday night better change dere minds an' deir plans too, 'cause dis bird know you an' will have you cotched. De Owl knows a few things about er preacher dat wouldn't look good on a moving picture screen. Better 'prove your conduct, parson, 'fore dis bird tell on you. 'Tain't fair fer you to scold de dibel outen folks fer doing jest what you do. You am de leader and dey am de followers. Dis bird knows some married wimen dat rides around in de autos widen and some of dey husbands ain't got sense 'nuf to see what's gwine on. De bird is watching you. A certain fellow is in de habit of making love over de phone to er certain married woman and dis bird knows bof de parties. If one or bof of dem don't get coached 'fore it happen ergln de ole bird will tell de names. Do Owl knows er man dat says he is too sickly to work, but he is not too sick to stay up all night an' steal. Better git well, fellow an' go to work. Take dem clothes back you stole de other night. If you don't, dis bird will tell on you. Dis bird saw a jackleg preacher give money to another man's wife in de church while another sky pilot was preaching and den write her er note to "make er date." Dis woman an' de preacher, tõo, mingle in de "best cley." De clerk in one ob de churches here is a past master lfbertine (whatever dat means) an' some ob de wimen in dat church hold hi office in de same order. De fine looking female dat was seen wid er married man in er certain questionable place last Saturday night better stop "posing" and leave town or go to de red light district. De man she was wid better stop beating his wife and live er decent life or dis bird gwine 'spose' em. Dis bird know married wimen dat puts deyselves in de way of men by startin' unnecessary conversations wid 'em, jokin' etc., fergiting de line ob perpriety 'tween spectable men an' wimen, an' den when de man fergits de line ob decency 'tween dem dey wonder why he do it. Dis bird blieve mos' men will stay in dey places if de wimen let 'em. De Owl spent er few minutes in ristocer part of town Thursday night and seed er white man visitin' in de servant quarters. Next time dis happen de'a bird will let de white man's wife know his whereabouts an' she will find out whare his 'hodge room' is.
