Negro Sells High-Power Bombs to the United States Government A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING VOL.6 A Naked Truth The Negro has the possibility of a great future, there is no room for doubt. He is capable of the highest development, intellectually, morally and physically. This has been demonstrated too the ample satisfaction of friends and foes alike. He can master high-spun theories, and he schools and colleges he has mastered the highest curricula, in the trade schools he has mastered some of the can reduce them to practice. In the most intricate and difficult trades, which involve skill of the highest order. He is apt to learn and to assimilate it; so that there can be no doubt of his capabilities. They cannot be questioned. The ability to master the art and sciences of the civilized life has been demonstrated beyond the shadow of doubt. He shows no inferiority when it comes to that. But it must be admitted that he has not proven beyond caval that he is able to manipulate and utilize his capabilities collectively. It is only here recently that he has shown any aptitude in organization. it is true that he has started many interprises, but too many of them are in the imbryonic state. Very few of them have crystalized into permanence, which shows that this faculty—the faculty of organization and concentration—has not been well developed as yet. And it is in this that he is behind other races. The Negro has not gotten to the place where he can differ about matters of individual moments and yet get together on matters of common concern. If they differ with you about trivial matters they differ with you on important oones. Unhere of late if they differ with you in church they differ with you about every thing; they regard you as their avowed enemy. This has been our great drawback. They cannot honestly differ and be friends. Honest difference of opinion should not prevent friendship between men, especially on things that look to the common interest and welfare. In that respect he is far behind his white neighbor. A white man can differ with another individual, and even hate him, and yet support him in preference to a friend, if he is satisfied that the man he dislikes is capable and can render the public a greater service. This is the essential difference between the two people. We must learn to draw a line between petty differences and essentials, and look to the general welfare. We, as a race have suffered more from this than anything else, and we will never succeed until we overcome it. We have various organizations that are doing well, and we have some in prospect now. It has never been the policy of the Independent to commit jitself to any of these enterprises as such, and to introduce our people to support any particular one. It takes for granted that when an organization is proposed, that the average man has intelligence to know what he wants and which one he would like to support. The only thing that we would urge, is that we support those institutions that we think are worthy and are safe and sound. This is why the Independent has always gone slow in recommending any, and only in exceptional cases would it do so; because it has always been its policy to try to lead our people right, and it fels that it has done its duty when it has pointed out to them the correct importance of organizing and supporting their insti- WEEKLY MAIL EDITION TULSA, OKLA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1918. tutions to the end that that they may concentrate their resources and build up concerns that would give employment to our young men and women of the race. When it has done this, it thinks that it has done its duty. The question of which to support and in which to invest and in which to support is left to the individual to decide. They must be their own judge as to that—and if any mistake is made, they cannot charge that they have ben misled by The Independent. But it does contend that you should patronize Negro institutions and interprises. It is their duty; it is in keeping with the spirit of the age. If we are ever to bhave a great future we address ourselves to the task of organizing and investing our money and brain in organizing great banks great farms, insurance companies. In short, every thing that upbuilds the race, and makes it rich and powerful. Let us do this. We should get on the job at once, for we have dissipated ur resources and strength too much by supporting other people instead of our win. It is the survival f the fit test, and unless we organize and invest our money in our own institutions, we can never come to our own in this great country. The Atlanta Independent.

J. Smitherman delegate from Talsa to the Chicago meeting. A committee of seven was appointed to visit seven churches last night and ask for a public contribution for the delegates' expense. This same committee will solicit funds today for the same purpose and report tonight at the Star office. A committee was also appointed to draft resolutions to be presented to the enventin by editr Smitherman. This committee is composed of the following named men: Dr. R. T. Bridgewater, lawyer H. A. Guess, Theo, Baughman, F. R. Williams and E. A. Loupe. The committees will meet at the Star office tonight at 7 o'clock. OKLAHOMA TEACHER GETS POSITION IN ST. LOUIS SCHOOL Miss Hazel B. McDaniel, one of the states' most brilliant young teachers who for the past year has been one of the high school faculty at Sapulpa, received a telegram Friday informing her of her election to a position as teacher of english in the Sumner high school of St. Louis, Missouri of which Prof. Williamsm is principal, Miss McDaniel is a very accomplished young lady and her appointment to a position in the high school of St. Louis is a fitting recognition of her ability. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. McDaniel of McAlester and was at one time a teacher in the Washington high school of this city RACE NOTES The United States government has loaned Liberia $5,000,000. This is a nice sum for the black republic and makes the ninth nation to borrow money from our government. Some They Progress won The editor of this paper stopped off a few hours in Chandler last week and while there took an inventory of the race's progress in that town. Among the most progressive race men there perhaps there are none better known than Whit Ellis, proprietor of a restuarant and confectionery store and one of the largest property owners of the town among Colored people. Mr. Ellis is an old admirer of the Star and was glad to renew his subscription for another year. This wide awake business man has been a resident of Chandler for the past twelve years and in that time has made a record that any man in the state might well be proud of. Prof. S. M. Johnson, another old settler of the pioneer days, is another race man of Chandler who has in no small degree made good. This man landed in Chandler 16 years ago practically without money. He was engaged to teach the village school there and held this position for six years during which time he saved a little money with which he bought a 40 acre tract of land. By putting his money and his brain together he has been able to increase this to 240 acres of the best farm land in that vicinity, has a good bank account and with Mr. Ellis is owner of two brick buildings on main street. Another race man the editor met in Chandler who is doing a great work for our people in the farming district there is Prof. Wm. Mingo, 'federal demonstration agent for Creek, Lincoln and Okfuskee counties. Under farmers in these three counties are making great signs of progress. Mr. Mingo is employed at a salary of $150 per month to look after the interests of the Colored farmers in these counties and judging from the reports he make he is playing his part well. Just now Mr. Mingo is a very busy man. He vaxinates live stock for the farmers without charge to them and gives them instruction as to the proper care for them. This has been of much benefit to the Colored farmers and they appreciate it. At present Mr. Mingo is trying to to interest the Colored farmers of his district in the federal reserve fund with aview of getting them to avail themselves of the federal loan at a low rate of interest. So far as he has been able to learn no Colored farmer has appealed to the government for aid. Mr. Mingo is a true race man and is doing all he can to make conditions better for the farmers. HE LIKES THE STAR. DO YOU? ous Mr. Charles C. Johnson, a prosperous farmer of Ames, Oklahoma, favored the Star with his check for for a year's subscription last week thus manifesting the right kind of interest in a race journal. Of course, we like words of commendation but Mr. Johnson's way is the best kind of encouragement. NINTH CALVARY NOW IN RUSSIA Pittsburgh, Pa. Sept. 16.—It is reporter that the Ninth Calvary Colored Troopers, who were stationed on the Philippine Islands, have been sent to Vladivostok, Russia. This shows the value of these men for strategic purposes as they have shown it in the Bover uprising on the island and in the other guerilla warfare. It is estimated that more than one million Colored men registered last Thursday. HONORS BREAK 60-40 IN FAVOR OF NEGROES AT LOUISVILLE, KY. ARTIL LERY SCHOOL Luisville, Ky., Sept. 14, 2,455 graduates from the Artillery school. Of that number 33 were Colored. Of that 2,455, ten were Honor men, of that ten —SIX WERE AND ARE COLORED! Saturday, August 31, was a great day in local history, for on that day thirty-three young men of the race who had been in training here to make Artillery officers were graduated and six of them were honor men. Civilians had noted foro weeks a particular set of young Colored men so clean cut and so evidently men of high intelligence, as well as being physically fit, their very appearance bespeaking a difference from the thousands of "Rookies" to be seen daily and nightly, and the curiosity was much aroused until they learned that an Officers' Artillery training school had been opened and out of be three hundred of students detailed where 86 were Colored. Those men came from the best schools in the country and many left excellent positions in the professional and business life. The Artillery branche of the service is the most scientific and intricate and difficult, and only men highly educated and trained could hope to make good at the Officers Training School. The school opened July 1 and closed August 31. The graduating exercises were held at the Liberty Theatre at Camp Taylor. The Theater was crowded Saturday with hundred of people, a few of them being Colored. The exercises were dignified and moved with that precision characteristic of all military affairs. The only speech made was a snort talk by the Colonel who had conducted the training school. For each battery the five students who stood highest came forward and received their diplomas and the others received them in their barricks. When five Colored men came forward they received the greatest ovation of oil. The applause was thunderous and tumultuous. And the striking part of it all was their white fellow students led in the ovation without envy or jealousy. It was stated to a news reporter that there were ten honor men from the training school, and of the ten 6 reporter that of the fifty three young were Colored. It was also announced to a news men who did not get diplomas were on a par with their fellow students white and Colored. But they were in no way disereded. They were white and Colored. But they were trained for different branches of the artillery services, and the commanding Officer did not learn that there would not be no Colored men in the branches for which they had trained until it was too late. These young men will simply return and take training in this more popular branch for which the exercises were held Saturday. Louisville has one representative in the graduating class. He is now Lieut. Henry Arthur Kean. Mrs. Trace Moore, who has been in Kansas City, has returned home to the delight of her many friends. She is a Star admirer, and we wish we had more such friends. HE HITS THE BULLS EYE In the last issue of the St. Louis Argus, there appeared a very timely article headed "Between Two Fires." Editor Mitchell tells the naked truth, and we are reproducing his excellent editorial because we believe it has the right ring. Men of the white race when addressing Negro audiences, since the worlds conflict has become a big question, usually find themselves between two fires. The customary phrases, describing what this war means to the people of this nation, seems to find no up most of their time in apologising for the wrongs perpetrated on the Colored people of this country by the whites, and in prasing the loyalty of the Negro race. This, of course is very imbarrassing to speaker and the hearers alike. We are quite in sympathy with the members of our race who are placed in such embarrassing positions when called upon to speak to their own people. The leaders of the race, who are patriotic, loyal, and anxious to do all in their power to help in this great fight for democracy, by conversations, lectures or writings, must either apologise for the wrong done to their brothers or plead ignorance of the existing conditions. In either event, they are placed in a bad position. We want Uncle Sam to help us do more for our race by removing the many handicaps that we are compelled to work under. Unless we have misinterpreted the word "Democracy," it means equal rights, equal dufor all citizens. No man, who is a leader of the race, would dare say that the Negro is satisfied with any less; (even though we may be forced to accept less on account of the accident of our birth,we must let the world know that we are not satisfied. The Publishing Department of the church reported the amount of business done for the year at $116,000; Foreign Mission Board, $20,000 Home Mission Board, $20,000; different auxiliaries from $5,000 to $10,000. The collections taken up during the convention will be held at Newark, N. J. NEGRO SELLS THREE AERIAL BOMBS TO U. S. GOVERN- MENT Columbus, Ga., September 9. (Special)—Julious Hart, Colored, chauffeur for Dr. Bullard, has invented three aerial bombs, which promise to net him a fortune. Two have already been accepted by the government, one of them at a price of $15,000, while the price for the other has not as yet been announced. The bomb shot in different directions, one 50 times before the chief explosion comes, another 60 times and a third 1,000 times before the final discharge. Hart, who is 25 yeas old, is a former resident of Union Point, Ga. He got some of his ideas from Lieutenant Bentley Chappell, who told him of various ingenious bombs used on the battle front.—The Atlanta Constitution. Ooe of the races set backs is a great many of us have allowed "good time" to over-ride our judgment. The "stunt pulling" Negro is never taken serious by those in the race who are capable of thinking. NO 43 Brainy Negro COLORED GIRL ACCIDENTLY KILLS HERSELF While Picking Cotton at Bristow A Tulsa Girl Meets Her Death The 12-year old daughter of Mrs. Helen Williams, 931 Bullett St. of this city, who accidently shot herself at Bristow last Thursday evening, was burried here Monday by Undertaker Goodwin and Jackson. The family had gone to Bristow to pick cotton; one of the men sent the girl to the house for a gun, with which he intended to kill squirrels, on returning to the field with said gun, the girl in some accidently discharged it, the entire contents striking her in the abdomen, causing instant death. NEW CHAPTER IN WAR OPENS PARIS, Sept. 15.—The battle in the Lorraine entered into its second phase today and thus began an entirely new chapter of the whole war, a chapter which promises to bring the finish of the world holocaust measurably nearer. It is too early to say"a battle of Metz" has begun. The great Lorraine fortress has been, however, under continuous long-range shelling all day. The American right wing swung forward today on a four mile front, capturing two important villages, Villecy and Norrow, thus straightening out the front facing the German Lorraine border. In the center of the advance between one and two miles fresh headway was made. Since yesterday morning the American line has advanced between one and two miles on the 33-mile front between the Cote-de-Lorraine and the and the Moselle. At some places the Americans are in contact with the Germans in the latter's 3rd line battle positions. THE MAYOR OF DEWEY Indited For The Part He Played in The Burning of Negro Home$ Special to The Star: Pawhuska, Okla., Sept. 17, 1918. The Mayor of Dewey has been indicted by the Grand Jury now in session at this place for the part he took in the permitting of mob violence and burning of the homes of Colored citizens of that town. Aaron Wirdlow was also indicted for the killing of the cityMarshall of Dewey. Wirdlow was arraigned to day and appeared in court with his attorney W.H. Twine and filed a motion to gnash the indictment, afterwhich he entered a plea of not guilty. The case lhs not as yet been set for trial The Grand Jury is still in session and the probabilities are that a number of the members of the mob will be indicted. The Court and the County Attorney are in real earnest, and it looks like many of the outlaws will be brought to justice. The sentiment of the best class of white people of this cityis against mob violence under any circumstances. Upon investigation we find that some of the property destroyed dy the mob is owned by men who are in France fighting for the flag, and who left wife and child play and we believe patriotic Americans will deal out even and exact justice to the outlaws who compose the mob, and also reimburse those victims who lost their property at the hands of outlaws. Rev. W. H. Woods performed the ceremony Tuesday, which united Mr. W. W. Sexton of Tulsa, and Miss Hattie Jones also of Tulsa, as man and wife, at the home of the bride.

They are in France now holding a sector on the lower end of the French battle line and are, of course, making good and convincing the world that the Negro has in his makeup all the necessary ingredients for a first class soldier. UP TO NOW 314,567 Colored men have called to the colors to help make the world safe for democracy. The new draft called about 1,400,006 more of our boys and in the final settlement of the world conflict it will be remembered that the black man had a part to play and played it well. EDITOR CHILES is to be commended for his ever readiness to make a stand for the races' interest. His recent visit to Washington and his lit-special assistant puts him in a new position on the defense lines of our race battles. Nick says Scott's job sounds big but that aside from that there is nothin to it since he is powerless to act except as he is directed. COLORED WOMEN are being employed in many of the large merchant- estate establishments in all capacities from book keeper down to maids and like our boys at the front our women are making good in these new positions of trust and responsibility. These opportunities have eczome to us because of the war which reminds us that "its an ill wind, that blows nobody good." The Star is hopeful that our women will continue to act well their part and make themselves as near indispensable as possible. We are living in the dawn of a new era and the opportunities that come to us now because of war conditions will help us only to the extent that we are prepared to grasp them. In other words the Colored will not get any more out of the war than he puts into it. THE STANDARD LIFE insurance company has made its debut in Oklahoma and will henceforth do business in this state. The Star is especially glad to welcome this company to our state because in the first place it is a reliable concern with a paid up capital stock of $125,000 every penny of which belongs to members of the race. The company is officered by Colored men and owns property in different parts of the United States valued at more than $325,000. In the second place we welcome it because it brings to the Colored youth of our state new opportunities. So well is this company managed and so perfect its system that the daily papers of the state have given it special mention in a very commendable way. The Standard Life is an old life life insurance company with more than a million policy holders every one of whom are members of the race. Of course we are proud of this company and every other race man should be. It is ours and one of the biggest things we have. Viva the Standard Life. NOTHING succeeds like push learn to push more. JOHN H. BROWN --- There is a move on foot to bring our race closer together here in Tulsa along business and all other lines. Let us keep it going until we are a united people. Prof. J. Silas Harris of Kansas City president of the National Educational Congress and one of the races best known men, was recently appointed to a clerical position in the great Armour Packing plant in Kansas City. This is the first time a Colored man has held such a position for this big firm, baldnrhfseoqnititoaophohh__ firm. Prof. Harris is truly a prepared man and an expert penman and will ably discharge the duties of his office. Ever now and then some Colored man invades some field of end-avor heretofore closed to him. THE K. C. SUN in its last issue touched on a very important subject; one to which a great many of our women should give their attention and improve their way of living. The Sun said: "It is becoming generally known that certain secret service menof the government will keep an eye upon the deportment of war wives who are enjoying an easy while their husbands are at the front. "Blessed are the meek' so be careful not to become too gay." Editor Crews' advice is worth the attention of those for whom it was meant. Here in Tulsa as in many other places some of our wooen who are getting checks from the government by reason of their husbands' services for their country are getting a bit too "foxy." THE HOSPITAL DRIVE WHILE a great many of our Colored people here in Tulsa are going about with their mouths poked out all peeved and squabbling about who should lead in the hospital movement the Colored people of Kansas City are reaping the benefits of a first clas hospital built by Colored men with money raised by Colored people The Colored people of Kansas City did not lose time fussing about who should lead in building a hospital but all joined hands and worked in harmony for the hospital. That is what we need to do here in Tulsa to get results in our hospital drive. We should eradicate envy and jealousy and get together. We need a hoosious and we ought to be willing to do our bit collectively and as individuals to get one. With our own efforts assisted by our white friends, we can put up a hospital that would be a credit to any city in the country. But for a mean spirit of petty envy and jealousy that crept into the hospital movement a little more than a year ago, no doubt we would now have a $25000 hospital. Now, let's stop this foolishness and get busy for the hospital. What difference does it make who leads? IS GOD DEAD? Banker John Mitchell of the Richmond Planet grows reminiscent in the following editorial: "During the dark days of the Civil War, an enquiry was made of Frederick Douglass, and it was this: 'Is God dead?' What would be the query now if the same person were alive and lived in the rFrench Republic? The full recognition of the Colored people of this country has not yet come, and this blood-letting must go on until it does come. The best way to arouse the dormant spirit of fairplay in the White population is to serve the country and to display a loyalty that will last even beyond the portals of death. Colored regiments and battalions are meeting the test, and the indications are that there will be a mighty revolution in sentiment when the boys come marching home. "Our mouths may be watering for peace and our eyes be red in a desire for the same result of the struggle, but let the lips be silent and let us fight on.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sept. 17. - The six Negroes whose sentences to death was pronounced by court-martial which tried them for participation in the Houston riot and whose sentences were approved by President Wilson were hanged at Fort Sam Houston at daybreak this morning. No civilians were allowed to witness the executions which were carried through with great secrecy. Those who paid the death penalty were members of company I of the 24th infantry. They are: rPivates Babe Collier, Thomas McDonald, Joseph Smith, James Robinson, and Albert D. Wright.

THE NEGRO AND GERMAN PROPAGANDA Under the above heading, The St. Joseph, (Mo.) Gazette a leading white news-paper, in its issue of September 9, gave the world an editorial, which no doubt will be read with nuche interest for every Colored person. Below we are giving some: THE busy enemy-alien propagandist is having a hard row to hoe these days. So many of his plans have slipped up and so many of them are filling the concentrated Camps, for, while Uncle Sam is very quiet about it, he has a keen eye and long arm. Quite unexpectedly out of the blue, the noor spy feels a heavy hand on his collar and his usual haunts know him no more. In his confinement behind the bars, or while he is hoeing the corn for better men to eat, he hasn't even the satisfaction of gloating over his misdeeds. Too many of them have failed. With that boasted German efficiency of which we once heard so much the propagandist tackled the American Negro. Here were a peoplegody to his hand, simple, kind, unsuspicious, with so many grievances against the government that it would be easy to ensile them to riot and disorder, thereby seriously hampering war work. They tried it. They tried it again. They took another angle and tried it. Gott in Himmel! These people were loyal! They might complain among themselves, or to tte powers that be against their wrongs and oppressions, but America was their home and the Stars and Stripes their flag—and God help the person who dare suggest that they act as traitors of either! Then the busy little German bee began another flight, and worked up feeling among the ignorant whites against the Negro. Here he was more successful, as the riots in St. Lois proved. But they drew the attention of thoughtful people and it was asked, "Why, if the Negro were in fault, were here more Colored men killed than white?" If, as prognandists were shouting, the Color- THE ST THE STAR HAIR GROWER . Geo. R. Smith College SEDALIA, MO. A Christian School with the Home Touch. Teachers the Best. Kind, yet firm.

Come ed people were a "problem" and a "menace to civilization," how came it that the trouble s were invariably started by white men attacking blacks? The German propagandist discovered to their dismay that their tactics were having the effect of drawing general attention to the wrists of the Negro and arousing interest and sympathy for him on all sides. The mute protest of the Colored women and children, all in black, marching down Fifth avenue, New York, with no bands, no orators, no disturbances—simply carrying banners appealing for protection and justice—created a deep and lasting impression. dangerous jobs?" The officers commanding Colored troops report that the only complaints their men make are against being held back. They beg for the first line; they glory in the danger. The eGrmn propagandist has helped the people all over this country—east and west, north and south—to realize that our Negro troops are men to be proud of; loyal Americans, every one of them! (First Published In Tulsa Daily Star Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 21, 28, Oct. 5, 12, 1918.) PUBLICATION NOTICE In the Superior Court of Tulsa Finally, in a sort of desperation, the Germans spread the lies far and wide that eNgro soldiers were being sacrificed at the front; they were put in the most dangerous pilces, and when wounded were left to suffer and die unattended on the battlefield. Here again the boomerang turned and hit the conspirators. If they hadn't started the treacherous propaganda the American public would not have heard General Pershing's opinion of the Colored troops. After denying the truth of "the stories, probably invented by German agents," he adds, "I cannot commend too highly the spirit showing among the Colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." The head of the Red Cross came forward to testify that the same care and attention was given by the society to the Colored men as to the White. Returning travelers and soldiers add a few details. They say that Negro troops are tremendously popular in all the French villages where they are billeted; that their smart appearance—every puttee polished, every button shining—their unfailing good humor, their glorious bands and mellow singing voices, and above all, the high spirit and eagerness for the fight that they are bringing to war-weary France, arouse enthusiasm wherever they go.

The eGrman propagandist has helped the people all over this country—east and west, north and south—to realize that our Negro troops are men to be proud of; loyal Americans, every one of them!

This intimate contact with such forces will be invaluable to him in his labors as a war correspondent. The fact that he has a wide acquaintance with correspondents now at the front, will make it possible for him to get news concerning Colored troops which, perhaps, no other Colored correspondent could secure. The claims of a number of men were fully considered in connection with this important assignment, but Mr. Tyler was finally selected as the most efficient of those available. Immediately after war was declared by the United States on Germany, Mr. Taylor wrote the president, tendering his services in any capacity. He has three sons, all of whom are at the front in France.
