A Vote for Howard is a Boost for Tulsa VOL. 6 FRANK WOODEN'S ELECTION NOW CONCEDED M. B. Ex-Mayor Before Voters For Election as County Commission. Speaking of the candidacy of F. M. Wooden for Commissioner No. 1, a prominent Colored citizen recently said to another, "Well, I'm a republican, alright, but if I live to get to the polls, I am going to vote for that man Wooden. I know when he was Moyor of this town he certainly gave our folks a square deal. I'm for Wooden all the time," and this is the sentiment one finds in every community where Mr. Wooden is known. He is the same Frank Wooden now that he was when he was Mayor of Tulsa. He refused to sanction a proposed plan of a certain republican to pass a segregation ordinance. He believes in giving every man a "square deal" as his past record has proven, and it should be the policy of every voter to elect men to office who will make good. This will be done in the case of F. M. Wooden, because the people of Tulsa white and Colored are too well acquainted with him and his policy, too much intrusted in the future development of Tulsa County, to vote against him. It is generally conceded now by the best political prophet that Mr. Wooden will win by a big majority over his opponent. WE WANT HOWARD FOR CONGRESS In the election of E. B. Howard to selfsellthe U. S. Congress, Tulsa will the U. S. Congress, Tulsa will put herself on record as never before. It means much to the people of Tulsa to send a man to Congress. It will mean much to our boys over there, it will mean much to our people in this District, in fact it will mean much to the nation because he is a man for the common people and will stand at all times for them. When peace is declared, we need such men as E. B. Howard in the Congress for many reasons. Lets put him over the top next Tuesday. MRS. HEDGES FOR COUNTY SUPT Having served you in the capacity of County Superintendent of Public Instruction for one year, I again come before you asking for your support in the coming election, November 5. I have earnestly and faithfully endeavored to fulfill the duties incumbent in my office during the past year, which has been without precedent in the unique demands made upon the schools but rich in op portunities of service to our Country. I have tried on every occasion to be worthy of the confidence you expressed in me when you cast your ballots two years ago, but my chief consideration has been the welfare of the boys and girls of Tulsa County. If you are satisfied, let me know on Tuesday when you go to the polls. MINNETTE HEDGES, County Superintendent MAN WHO OPPOSED COLOREI PEOPLE IN COLLINSVILLE OUT FOR TREASURER There are two men in the race for treasurer of Tulsa County. One is W. W. Stucky, a well known Tulsa man who has spent many years of his life and much of his money helping to build up Tulsa and her magnificent institutions; who is a heavy tail, payer and a public spirited man with a splendid reputation here at home; a man who has always manifested a spirit of fairness towards Colorad people generally and who believes in giving every man a man's chance. Mr. Stucky is the democratic nominee for County Treasurer and is sure to be elected next Tuesday. He is being opposed by John M. Golbsberry, on the republican ticket, Mr. Goldsberry lives in Collinsville, and is hardly known here in Tulsa. It is said of him that he was in a large measure responsible for the bad feeling formerly found in Collinsville against Colored people. He bitterly opposed Colored people locating in Collinsville and took an active part in arousing public sentiment against the race there. Collinsville is an exclusive white town, which was recently voted into Tulsa County being formerly in Rogers County. Further than his reputation as an agitator against the race we know nothing of Mr. Goldsberry, and on the other hand, Mr. Stucky is well known and the people of Tulsa will register their unanimous approval of his record as a good public spirited citizen by electing him next Tues. MONROE WILL SUCCEED GEO REEVES AS COUNTY ATTORNEY The Colored people of Tulsa are much concerned in the race for County Attorney. They are loath to loose George E. Beeves, the present incumbent, but since he is not a candidate they are now counting on doing their bit to elect the next best man. The pick must be between Thomas L. Munroe, on the democratic ticket, and Rufus A. Underwood on the republican ticket, and the chances are two to one in favor of Mr. Munroe. Not because of his party affiliations but because it is generally believed among the best people of Tulsa—white and colored—that he is the best man for the office. He has a wide acquaintance among the Colored people of the city and county and they will vote for him because they have found him to be on the square with them in the past. LEWIS CLINE FOR COUNTY CLERI The re-election of Lewis Cline to the position he now holds as county clerk is a foregone conclusion. The few years he has served the people of this county in that capacity is his greatest recommendation. He has been faithful to his obligations at all times and up to this time no fault has been found with his administration. He is frank and honest in his convictions and endeavors under all circumstances to guard the interests of the taxpayers of the county. He has surrounded himself with good efficient help and every citizen is assured of polite and courteous treatment. He knows more about the office and how to protect the interest of the taxpayers than any man in the county. These facts are generally known to every citizen who has ever had any business in this office. This is sufficient to assure his success at the polls Tuesday. NEGRO EMPLOYEES AIDED Carnegie Steel Co.

President Wilson to-day issued the following appeal to the American people to return a democratic congress at the November election: "My Fellow Countrymen: "The congress elections are at hand. They occur in the most critical period our country has ever faced or is likely to face in our life. If you have approved of my leadership, and wish me to continue to be your unimbarrassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad, I earnestly bear that you will express yourselves unmistakably to that effect by returning a democratic majority to both the senate and house of representatives. "I am your servant and will accept your judgement without cavil, but my power to administer the great trust assigned me by the constitution would be seriously impaired should your judgement be averse and I must frankly tell you so because many critical issues depend upon your verdict. No serpule of taste must in grim times like these be allowed to stand in the way of speaking the plain truth. I have no thought of suggesting that any political party is paramount in matters of patriotism. I feel too deeply the sacrifices which have been made in this war by all our citizens, irrespective to party affiliations, to harbor such an idea. I mean only that the difficulties and delicacies of our present task are of a sort that makes it imperative necessary that the nation should give its undivided support to the government under a unified leadership and that a republican congress would divide the leadership. "The leaders of the minority in the present congress have unquestionably been pro-war, but have been anti-administration. At almost every turnstone we entered the war they have sought to take the choice of policy and the conduct of the war out of my hands and put it under the control of instrumentalities of their own choosing. "This is no time for divided council or for divided leadership. Unity of command is as necessary now in civil action as it is upon the field of battle. If the control of the house and the senate should be taken away from the party now in power an opposing majority could assume control of legislation and oblige all action to be taken amidst contests and obstruction. "The return of a republican majority to either house of the congress would moreover be interpretative on the other side of the water as a repudiation of my leadership. Spokesmen of the republican party are urging you to elect a republican congress in order to back up and support the president, but even if they should impose upon some credulous voters on this side of the water they would impose on no one on the other side of the water. It is well understood there as here that the republican leaders desire not so much to support the president as to control him. "The peoples of the allied countries with whom we are associated against Germany are quite familiar with the significance of elections. They would find it very difficult to believe that the voters of the United States had chosen to support their president by electing to the congress a majority controlled by those who are not in fact in sympathy with the attitude and action of the administration. "I needd not tell you my countrymen, that I am asking your support not for my own sake or for the sake of a political party, but for the sake of the nation itself in order that its inward unity of purpose may be evident to all the world. In ordinary times I would not feel at liberty to make such an appeal to you. In ordinary times divided counsels can be endured with our permanent harm to the country. But these are not ordinary times. "If in these critical days, it is your wish to sustain me with undivided minds, I beg that you will so in a way which will not be possible to misunderstand either here at home of among our associates on the other side of the sea. I submit my difficulties and my hopes to you." SOME PLAIN FACTS FOR COLORED VOTERS TO CONSIDER A few years ago there were practically no Colored democrats in Tulsa, and it was an unpopular thing among Colored people for a Colored man to be known as a democrat. With one or two brilliant exceptions no Colored man dared to brave public sentiment and take an open stand for democracy. In those days during the campaigns only republican candidates, and just a few of them, were ever found in the "East End" canvassing for the Colored man's vote. They took it for granted that the Colored man was mortgaged to the republican party and would not vote any but the republican ticket, hence it was not not necessary for them to consult or even consider the Colored man's vote. Why should they, when it was already their principal asset? Of course the republican party never won an election here (until two years ago when Simmons ACCI-DENTLY went into office) and as a natural the Colored people got very little representation. Then The Star came, and with it came, a sincere agitation for political diversification among the Colored people. The Star believed then as it believes now, that the race's political salvation does not rest in any one party; that the race had true friends in both the dormant political parties, and that from every standpoint of right and common fairness, and from a common sense viewpoint, the race owed allegiance to our friends in the democratic party as well as those in the republican party. We believe that if the Colored men divided their votes the race would receive greater howts from their political activities. Whether from their position or from some other cause, the Colored vote is no longer a guaranteed asset to the republican party, but is quite a factor in the democratic party, and the experience for the past few years has proved to the satisfaction of any same man the wisdom of our position, during the last three or four years when the campaigns have been in progress we have seen both democrats and republicans bidding for the Colored vote, something that had not been seen in Tulsa before, and the race has received greater benefits from our political activities as a natural result of our political change. The Star has always been a true race paper and at all times advocating and fighting for the things which make for race advancement and elevation along all lines. We have often stood in our own light, in many ways, to fight the battles of our race, and we have done so with clean hands and a clear conscience. In this we have nothing to regret, and we desire no special praise or commendation for anything we have done for the race. If our humble counsel has been of any benefit to the race we are satisfied with having done. Finally: We are about to enter another election. Two candidates for United States Congress are before the people, and one of them will be elected, one a republican and the other a democrat. President Wilson, who is our accepted leader, our president, to whom not only we of this country are looking for guidance in the great world crisis, but to whom our Allies are also looking has requested that the people of the United States return a DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY to both the senate and to the house of representatives. Being the standard bearer of democracy, it is quite natural for him to desire men of his party to be in the majority in congress if he expects to successfully carry out his plans. No one doubts his request in this particular will be granted. that his request in this particular will be accepted. Now, Mr. Colored voter, in a congress such as the president has requested, and will get, which of the two candidates would stand the better chance of accomplishing something for you, or any one else in this congressional district, the republican or the democrat? It is purely a political question and it's up to YOU to answer it. "My Fellow Countrymen; "The congress elections are after period our country has ever faced, have approved of my leadership, are embarrassed spokesman in affairs that you will express yourselves us a democratic majority to both the two." "I am your servant and will act my power to administer the great would be seriously impaired should frankly tell you so because many cried no scruple of taste must in grim the way of speaking the plain truth I have no thought of suggesting in matters of patriotism. I feel to made in this war by all our citizen harbor such an idea. I mean only our present task are of a sort that the nation should give its undivided leadership and that a republicanship. "The leaders of the minority inably been pro-war, but have been turnassee we entered the war they and the conduct of the war out of our instrumentalities of their own choice. "This is no time for divided command is as necessary now in battle. If the control of the house from the party now in power an of legislation and oblige all action in struction. "The return of a republican man would moreover be interpretative of my leadership. Spoking you to elect a republican congress president, but even if they should this side of the water they would in water. It is well understood there are not so much to support the pro-cause of the allied countries against Germany are quite familiar. They would find it very difficult to States had chosen to support their majority controlled by those who attribute and action of the administration. "needd not tell you my country for my own sake or for the sake of a nation itself in order that its inward all the world. In ordinary times I am appeal to you. In ordinary times out permanent harm to the country. "If in these critical days, it is your minds, I beg that you will so in a war standerand either here at home or among the sea. I submit my difficulties and a little representation. Then The Star came, and with its diversification among the Colored power lives now, that the race's politicality; that the race had true friends in and that from every standpoint of a common sense viewpoint, the race is democratic party as well as those that if the Colored men divided their benefits from their political activity. Whether from our agitation our vote is no longer a guaranteed asset factor in the democratic party, and it has proved to the satisfaction of action, during the last three or four in progress we have seen both demo Colored vote, something that had no race has received greater benefits from result of our political change. The S and at all times advocating and fight advancement and elevation along a own light, in many ways, to fight done so with clean hands and a clear to regret, and we desire no special help have done for the race. If our hum the race we are satisfied with having. Finally: We are about to enter for United States Congress are before elected, one a republican and the who is our accepted leader, our present country are looking for guidance in our Allies are also looking has reqiued States return a DEMOCRATIC MAN house of representatives. Being the quite natural for him to desire men congress if he expects to successfully that his request in this particular war. Now, Mr. Colored voter, in a question, and will get, which of the chance of accomplishing something gressional district, the republican or question and it's up to YOU to answer. hired Negro welfare workers in two of their mill centers and are now planning to extend this type of work to the other mill districts. At the Homestead Steel Works there has been developed a plan for a Negro club house which will contain domitories, gymnasiums, public baths, community lockers, recreation rooms, and special classrooms for educational work. Mis Hattie J. Burton, a practical embalmer, is now located in our city and connected with the Jackson and Goodwin Undertaking Co. She is a very able woman, and we are indeed glad to have her in Tulsa. WHICH DO YOU WANT, A FRIEND OR A FOE? William McCullouch, the present republican sheriff, at the instance of a prejudice white man for whom a warrant of arrest had been issued from Justice Smitherman's court for assaulting a Colored woman on a street car demanded of Justice Smitherman to let the case go before a white Justice, saying it would no do to have a white man trial before a refused to comply with his audacwent to his Colored deputy O. W. Gurley, and demanded the warrant which had been given him, telling him that he did not want any Colored deputy of his to arrest any white man. Gurley gave him the warrant, and immediately tendered his resignation as a deputy sheriff. This is the calibre of man that we now have as sheriff of Tulsa County, and he is asking you to re-elect him. WILL YOU DO IT? James Wooley, the democratic nominee, is quite a different man. James Wooley, the democratic nominee, is quite a different man. Under his administration as sheriff two years ago, he employed three Colored deputies. (McCullouch has one—Barney Cleaver being that one and gave them instructions to do their duty and arrest white men or any other kind of man who violated the law. And he is asking us to vote for him Tuesday. Wont we do it?) VOICE OF COLORED CHILDREN AND GOD CALLS FOR RETENTION OF SUPT. OF CREEK CO BRISTOW, Okla., Oct. 25, 1918.—Spontaneously arises upon the political horizon a brilliant starlight whose lustre bedins might fix stars. The present acting county superintendent of public instruction of Greek county, and is the pride of her voters. We, the Colored teachers of this county for the first time in history have felt the faint zephers of democracy; the salaries of the separate schools compare favorably with the independent schools, which is a just and righteous compensation for the ripe experience and educational qualification of the Colored teachers. Mises Fitchel, has fixed up many of the separate school houses visited many of the schools—dropped wholesome advice into the lives of all concerned. The county superintendent's office is one of sore trials and vexations but she unflenchingly prosecutes the many duties of her office. On every battlefield of Europe, yea, on the ancient fields of Armagedon mighty armies, such as are unknown to the memory of man or the traditions of history are blazing the way for democracy. One race up and the other down is out of harmony with the divine scheme of the world, but such has ever been the president of the Colored American, but Miss Fitchel believes in fair play and by three years of public service has proven her fitness to serve. The crucial days of political prejudice passes with the savage hand of autocracy. We must vote for the best interests of our children. Since Miss Ethel has had the office of county superintendent there has not been a word of condemnation, she has loved and admired by all who know her and like wine, she improves with melodiesSHRDL. SHRD SHRDLMC age. We may listen to the unbroken melodies of the party Siren until we are transformed into Angles, but until we vote and support men and women of principals we will adrift on the carol reeves of an intellectual beech to succumb to the forces of decay. We are building not for ourselves but for our prosperity, so let us build well. This is the voice of children and the voice of God. Let every man go to the polls next Tuesday and prove his loyalty to our country by voting wisely for the men who stands for RIGHT. OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAGES A VALIDABLE MEDIUM TON ADVERISING NO. 9 END JAMES WOOLEY FOR SHERIFF VS. WM. MCCULLOUGH NO 9 ```markdown ``` Mr. Wooley needs no introduction to the Colored voters of Tulsa. He served one term as sheriff of this county two years ago and made good, he had three Colored deputies working out of his office and he never instructed either of them not to arrest white men. On the other hand he demanded all of his deputies to enforce the law regardless of the color of the man's skin who violated the law. This can not be said of his republican opponent, William McCullough, who objected to his Colored deputies arresting a white man on a warrant issued from Justice Smitherman's court. He took the warrant from his deputy, O. W. Gurley, who immediately resigned when the sheriff told him not to arrest any white man. Tulsa county has no need for a sheriff of Mr. McCullough's makeup. Certainly the Colored people don't want him, and they will show their disapproval of his "Jim Crow" policies at the polls Tuesday. W. B. WILLIAMS FOR COUNTY JUDGE Judge Williams is well known in the city and county of Tulsa having served the people of this county as state representative, assistant county attorney and as county judge, which position he now holds. He has always been sincere and conscientious in the discharge of his duties as a public official and equally as bold and outspoken in his stand for even-handed justice for all men. The Colored people of Tulsa will not soon forget the part he played in the rescue of a Colored woman from a condition of slavery a few weeks ago here in Tulsa. Judge Williams deserves the support of every right thinking voter in the county, white or Colored. No greater appreciation can be shown him than by giving him a big majority at the polls Tuesday. ED. DALTON FOR Mr. Dalton is well known to the voters of Tulsa county, having served them for the past four years as county treasurer. He is now the democratic nominee for commissioner No. 2, and if the signs of the time count for anything he will be elected by a big majority. He has been a faithful and efficient servant of the people as county treasurer and because of his knowledge of county affairs will make a very able commissioner. He is another man who believes in the square deal policy. Officers Henry Pock and J. H. Smitherman picked up a couple Sunday night, on the charge of co-habitating, and as they had already secured their marriage license the officers looked up Rev. Netherland and had him to tie the nuptial knot. THE TULSA STAR Published weekly by the Tulsa Star Printing and Publishing Company at 115 North Greenwood Avenue. A. J.

STEWART, Grand Master of the Masons of Oklahoma is responsible for the statement that the Colored citizens of Muskogee subscribed $02,000 to the Fourth Liberty Loan and that eighty per cent of that amount was paid cash. Hats off to our loyal Muskogee friends. IN THE DEATH of Hon. G. I. Currin, Grand Master of the Masons of Oklahoma, one of the foremost men of our state passes to the Great Beyond. For fourteen years this old Roman was the safe leader of the Masonic hosts of Oklahoma, and it was under his regime that the magnificent Masonic temple was erected at Boley, which temple stands as as a monument to the worth of the Race in this state. Prior to locating in Oklahoma Mr. Currin served on the police force in Topeka, Kansas and made good in that position. He owned a good farm at Dover, Oklahoma, and it can be truthfully said of this man that he scattered sunshine and good will among men wherever he went. IN this grave state of affairs, it is the duty of every democrat to support the Super-man, President Wilson by electing a straight democratic ticket from Governor down to the lowest office. The president has made an appeal that we send a democratic congress to support him in his Herculean task. Therefore cast your ballot for Ed. B. Howard, who we all know as State Treasurer, he has played fair with the oil man, as with every one else. We know he will support our President, and we are not sure of Bert Chandler. The same holds good throughout the county. If Mr. Wilson is deserving of support in congress, he is deserving to the utmost from our home officers. Tom Monroe will make an ideal prosecuting attorney, and has pledged himself to bring about proper enforcement of law. We know him personally, and his past record justifies the above claim. The same holds good for all local offices. The main thing to keep in mind is to support President WILSON. Rentiesville, Okla. Oct. 28,1918 Editor of the Tulsa Star, Tulsa, Okla.

M. B. --- ELECT A GOOD COUNTY TICKET VOTEHS in this county are asked to look over the list of names on the county ticket of the democrats and to make inquiries about the men who make up the list of candidates. It will be found that all have clear records and that they are competent to fill the different county offices. It is war time and there must be economy in county affairs as well as in private and personal affairs of the people of this county. Tulsa county is called upon to do more for the war than any other county in the United States with the same population. Wastefulness is at an end in the living expenses of this county and they are putting all their money into the war. The candidates on the democratic ticket are pledged to economy and they will live up to their promises. Every man on the ticket is an earnest and enthusiastic worker for the success of the country in the war and that alone is a strong recommendation for them. The democratic candidates on the county ticket stand by the government, and they do not hesitate to mention the name of the president in their speeches. They stand by the president, recognizing him as the head of the army and navy. On the other hand the republican candidates do not mention the name of the president in any of their speeches. It is not in any of the republican literature now circulating over the state except to be criticised. This does not look much like loyalty to the voters of Oklahoma. It does not look much like loyalty for the republicans to join hands with the socialists and to send out socialist literature with their own in the effort to get socialist votes for the republican candidates. Every candidate on the democratic ticket in this county will stand the closest scrutiny the voters can make. They are good and efficient citizens and they will fill the offices with credit to themselves and to the people of the county at a time when economy must be put into effect. The voters of Tuba county are asked to make inquiries about the democratic candidates if they do not already know them personally. They will find that no man can truthfully say a word against any of them.—Tuba Democrat. STATE TICKET Governor J. B. A. Robertson Lieutenant oGvernor M. E. Trapp Secretary of State Joe S.

CLANTON SAYS THE NEGRO SCHOOLS OF SOUTH NEED HELF Philanthropists Assist Many, and Public Should Contribute to Others Washington, Oct. 29.—The special war-time needs of many of the Colored schools are emphasized in a letter addressed to Commissioner of Education P. P. Claxton to a number of persons throughout the country who have been interested one time or another in the education of the Negro Dr. Claxton says: "Most of the secondary and higher schools for Negroes in the south are supported by private philanthropy. These schools are largely denominational, and have some assured, through inadequate support from the church organizations back of them. But many of these best private schools of the Industrial type, are independent in character, and have no income except from donation. "The demands which the many necessary war appeals have made on the public purse have made it almost impossible for these private schools to raise enough money to keep open. Church organizations have been some-what lessened, and the high prices of food and material have made it almost impossible for these private schools to raise enough money to keep open, that contributions have been somewhat lessened and the independent schools have experienced considerable difficulty in raising funds. At the same time, the high prices of food and materials for the schools have made it necessary for the to raise more money than ever to maintain the old standards. A number of the best teachers have gone into the service of the nation, many of them teachers who from sheer devotion to the work, had served for low salaries. The high cost of living has forced other teachers to seek more remunerative fields of labor. Many Negro Schools Regain Help. "Some Negro schools are well known and have many influential frined. But many worth schools, both of the academic and industrial type are not so widely known, need money not only to do the necessary work that they have been doing for years, but they need more money to provide the special training imperatively needed for large numbers of Colored people in the schools that are doing a necessary war work should make an appeal to any one who has means of give for education. It should not be forgotten, however, that nothing is gained by responding to appeals for gifts to schools that do not exist or have no value as educational institutions Many such appeals are made. THOMAS OUT FOR CONSTABLE B. L. Thomas, constable in District 4, has been placed on the Democ ratic ticket and will be voted on for Thomas is the only Colored man on the ticket, and will of course poll a good vote.

CLEMENT RICHARDSON. to our homes, as for going to church and Sunday School is concerned on account of the existing epidemic, and for the cause we are cut off from our desires and daily pleasures. This no doubt, goes hard with some of us, but considering our homes the place in our prayers, we ask the Almighty God to bless. Now if He does this, should not we be happy then have God bless us with things to make us happy?, or is any of these things cut off from us. Now in the first place, we are blessed to be at home, and have a home to be in. God do bless us if our desires are cut off from us. Some times it is not well for us to have our pleasures in the way we think we should, for God knows best, because the things we should do are generally the things we should not do. Now I will call your attention to my subject. We will read 1st Tim. 5:13-14. In this Paul said to our women, "And with all they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house and not only idle, but tattlers and busy bodies speaking things they should not Now this he was referring to our young women which should be our hope and foundation for our homes, towns, cities and countries. All of these are built from our women, now good women means good homes, corruptible women means corruptible homes. Good women means good towns, good women means good cities, corruptible women maens corruptible cities, what is true of the homes, towns, cities, is true of the government, and by having good women we will have a good government. God loves this and man ought to love it also. Oh yes, idle women, you tatlers, we busy bodies, what profit are you to your homes? What are you to your country or to your community in which you live? Know that an idle brain is the devil's work shop, and he is busy at all times seeking weak places that he may ease in that he may modify your minds. Please remember that you are first to be tempted of the devil, but stand fast and don't Now for this remedy we will read 14th verse of same chapter, here Paul said speaking to the young women, I will therefore that the young women may bear children, guide the house and give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

It means much more than any one may think for all forms of blessings comes from, thus doing, God smiles on such a women. Women with content of heart and a content of mind, one that will watch and shun evil. Such a woman is a God send blessing to any man or home, a light and a star to her country. She is a blessing to the idler and to theatatler, and also to the busy body, for the busy body don't have time dress or keep a house for herself, she is out in zone other business. The woman that marry and bear children have to prepare a place for the busy body, the tatter etc., she has to care for her home for her children and for her husband, for her country and for her government. God bless such a woman. God bless our homes, please remember one thing from blessed women that do marry and bear children, and guide them well in the sight of God he will bless it and out of their homes the powers and principles and subject from which all of our schools, churches, and government get their best leadership. By nursing our homes and guiding them well, we will be able to get our best leaders. Men that will lead from hard task-masters, from under bondage and from out of hell. Now if we will read Exodus 2:1-10, it will tell us of a Hebrew mother, the mother of Moses, the great leader of the Israelites. This must have been a good mother who guided her home well to hide this Moses for 3 months from Pharoh's officers. She guided her home against strife, envy and the will of the devil. In doing this, you see she loved her home she loved her children and she loved her husband, and above all she loved God. These are th blessed ones that keep God's command, for in Geneses 9:1st verse God blessed Noah and his sons and said unto them to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth. Now may these crises give us a better thought of home, better care of home and may God give us knowledge to better keep His commandments. If we do so he will bless us forever.

Greenwood St. --- A Sketch of the Divine Plan of God ```markdown ``` Long before God said let there be light and long before man was created God had a well fixed plan of procedure concerning the salvation of the human race. Just as any intelligent business man does before beginning the construction of any great building, he makes out a blue print plan of procedure, just so with Jehovah, God; his plans were all outlined before the foundation of the world. I think all will agree with me when I say that if any one would work on a building, planed by the owner, such work would have to be strictly in harmony with the plans and specifications and all work not in harmony with those plans would be condemned as against the interest of the owner. Right here I beg to remind you dear, that every person who claims to be a Christian and attempts to explain the bible to others is posing as one of God's workman upon his great plan of salvation. r?eachers Be Warned teachers Be Warned Do you understand the Great Architect's plan? Are you working strictly in harmony with the blue print plans (the bible), of the ages? oYa had better begin at once to examine your work before the day of inspection—(judgement)—comes. There is generally just one great plan for the same great building and not two, three or a dozen or more plans for it. So it is with Jehovah God. He has only one great plan for the salvation of humanity. I beg of you dear friends to call to your mind of the unsightly spectacle of hundreds of would-be mechanics standing around the foundation of a great building disputing among themselves as to what the plan of the building is. The only sensible thing for them to do would be to get right down to it and all study the plan carefully then proceed, working together in harmony; but the facts are that most of the min- 1.1 MILLINERY SPECIALS Tailored and trimmed hats ..... $5 (Values $7 to $10) One assortment of clever tailored and trimmed hats, in velvet and hatters' plush; all shapes and colors; the trimmings are of eathers, fur, os trich, ribbon and flowers.

God knew wan would sin before He mad him, and eH could have created man without the ability to commit sin but God had no such idea of creating man a mere intelligent machine. God, then, and long before man was created, had countless numbers of agents that could not do other than His will; but God had long designed that man should be of such nature that he would love and obey Him (God) from an inteligen appreciation of the fact that to do so brings to him the greatest degree of happiness and to do otherwise brings pain and death. Therefore we can readily see the necessity and the philosophy of creating him with a will of his own and permitting him to learn valuable lessons from the exercise of same. God knowing in advance that man would become a victim of sin, His great love and wisdom arranged that he (man) be rescued down the stream of time after having a long trip of more than 6,000 years upon the angry billows of wars, blood-shed, sickness, sorrow, pain and death. In due time God sent His only son to arrange (through His death) for a new trial for Adam and his posterity. When Christ said upon the cross "It is finished," it meant that a new trial for life everlasting was secured for the human race. Now, after this new trial was secured, a daw was set in which Adam and his whole race would be brought before the judgment bar of God and given a most favorable trial for life everlasting, on the human plane, that is, the same kind of life Adam had before he sinned. All those, in that day, after having had such experience with sin and death and after seeing the love and power --- WHEN THEY COME BACK Will the Coming Back of the Negro Troops From Over There be the Same as Before? Will the coming back of the Negro troops be the same as before? Will they be treated with the same dis. Will they still be burned, hung and shot to death? Will they get a fair and impartial trial? Shall he be received as a human being and not a brute or dumb animal? When the Negro comes back from across the sea he will get his rights, you see for he has not just shouldered the gun just to be in uniform. He is fighting for democracy, and not for hypocracy. He is fighting for the inaileaniable rights of which God gave every man. "All men are created equal." Treat the Negro right and don't be deceitful Uncle Sam is calling now to every man to answer to the country's call from Yanks to mechanics, but when the Negro mechanic puts in his cal he is told that we can't use you. Let the Negro loose, he will show the world of what material he is made of. We are showing every day our strength and loyalty to the world. Through many crosses and trials, have we come, yet we are on our upward march. We are still loyal, though the world's crisis is at hand. We are scored in every land, we are "Jim crowed" and we are considered as a despairful race, yet, "Every dog has his day." We'll be on the hill top, by and by. We are being seen through this war, though we're not making any noise. The whites will recognize us by and by. I say to the Negro race to keep a climbing, your day will come. When the Negro troops, and those left behind will not be the same as was before. By Leroy Jenninge, Vinita, Oklahoma. Prof. W. E. Day, the wide awake principal of the Sapulpa Colored City School, was here to see as relative to the Teachers' minutes which we are printing this week. Mr. Day said that school was indefinitely discontinued, due to the influenza. He said the health of our people were good in Sapulpa, very few of our Race had contracted the Influenza. of God manifested in the resurrection of the dead, who will not hear and obey that priest and king will die the second death from which there will be no resurrection for the reason that Christ will die no more for sinners. The host blessed thing about this judgment day is that the one who loved us well enough to lay down his life for us will be the judge. This judgment day is also spoken of as the Millenium. Let no one for a moment think this a 24-hour day; it is a 1,000-year day. The period between the time when Jesus, by His death, secured a new trial for man, and the time for that new trial to begin is called the Gospel Age or the period of oid's election. During this time God has been selecting a little flock from every nation, kindred and tongue to be with His son as close to Him as a bride to assist in judging the world in righteousness. Just now this country is deeply concerned about an election. The theory of an election is that good men of character will be elected from among the people to represent help and bless all the people with wise, just and equitable administration and it (an election), has never meant that all who are not elected to office will have to spend the rest of their days in the penitentiary. From Penticost to the second coming of Christ is the period in which God has been selecting the officers to rule in His kingdom soon to be established in all the earth and it does not mean that all who are not elected or are not of the elect, must spend eternity in everlasting punishment. Unfortunately the majority of the clergy have been and are yet maintaining this unscriptorial theory—that all must be elected to go to heaven during this gospel age or spend eternity in a lake of fire and brimstone. They have attempted to apply the scriptorial rules govern- ing the election of the little flock to world of mankind in general— once the great muddle and mis- understanding of the Bible. You not make the Bible statements fit god's great plan except you place n whence they belong. uring this Gospel Age the Lord not been dealing with any one those who have entered the race the great prize and have agreed walk in the narrow path of saling with the Lord Jesus that they be elected to reign with him in His kingdom is set up. The balance of condemned humanity has not permitted to exist for a time mer God's natural laws of causes effect and then pass by thousands daily into the great prison ouse of death to wait the judgment day. Order is Heaven's first law and oh ivah God has order in His design with fallen humanity. He has not been dealing premiscuously with the whole human family. During the Patriarchal Age eh only dealt with the Patriarchs Noah, Abraham, sae and Jacob; during the Jewish age He only delt with the Jews and during this Gospel Age He is and has not been dealing with the electors, the little flock, the ones running for the Great Prize of lyife immortal on the Devine Plane and who are aspiring to be judges of the world in righteousness. Thank God the Gospel Age is about ended, the election is about over. The Bride of Christ, the little flock, has made herself ready and soon will be united in Heavenly wedlock to her bridegroom and lord after which the great judgment or human restitution will begin. Then the whole race of mankind, including father Adam, will have a chance to gain life everlasting on the human plane. It is after the marriage of the lamb (which is in the very near future) when God will begin to deal with the whole world of mankind. He has a day set (the judgment or Millenian day) wherein He will judge the whole world individually in righteousness. Some one may say well I don't see anything so very great in everlasting life on the human plane but friends stop and think for a moment. Man will be perfect physically, mentally and morally. There will be no sickness, sorrow, pain, death or any such things to molest or disturb. The Devil will be chained and finally destroyed. Every individual will be a king. The whole earth will be as the garden of Eden. If you would get some idea as to what a perfect individual will be, call to mind all the physical beauty there is in the whole world, all the knowledge of science, art, oratory, music and what not and combine all these qualities in one individual and as great as all this might seem to us we must remember that such person could only represent a feeble remnant of the qualities of a perfect man which has been in process of deterioration for more than 6,000 years. Dear friends I would not have you misunderstand me. The church's hopes (that is the bride of Christ, the Little Flock, the Elects) are not life everlasting on the human plane but life immortal on the Devine plane, the same kind of life on the same plans as Jehovah God, far above angels principalities and powers. This is the great prize for which the Little Flock has been running during this Gospel Age. Man has not been satisfied to work according to God's plan. God did not plan the conversion of the world during the oGspel Age. His time for converting the world is after the Gospel Age or period of election is ended. The electing and qualifying of the Little Flock during this Age is preparatory and for the very purpose of converting the world to Godliness. You can rest assured that when God's time comes to convert the world it will be done and he will not make a mess of it as the preachers have done. Under the blinding influence of Satan most of the preachers have been acting upon the theory that God was trying to convert the world during this Gospel Age. They have busied themselves warning the people to join the church, pay up their dues and go straight to heaven when they die or do otherwise and go to hell to burn forever. They have been all along impressing the poor people that the building of expensive church houses and paying fat salaries to the parsons are very necessary works to keep their names upon the Lamb's Book of Life. Every reasonable minded and earnest hearted person can now see that God did not plan the conversion of the world during this Gospel Age for the reason that aside from the plain Bible statement to the effect that the conversion of the world is to begin at the close of the Gospel Age, there is (Continued on Page 4).

R. C. Tucker, the able pastor of Vernon Chapel A. M. L. Church, when the reporter 'phoned him for local news, said, "Nothing doing along my line, but I am certainly enjoying the rest." The North East Oklahoma conference of the A. M. E. Church, which was to have convened at Muskogee on Oct. 23, has been postponed until December. The change was made due to the Spanish Influenza epidemic. The following persons have died since our last Daily Star appeared and their funerals will be conducted by Jackson and Goodwin; Mrs Rochel Anderson, died at West Tulsa and the body was shipped to Fayetteville, Ark.; Mrs. M. E. Hodmott died at 5221. N. Elgin street. She was a sojourney of oLhousehold of Ruth No 49 of Porth Arthur, Texas. Mr. Jackson left Monday for Drumwright for the body of Mr. and Mrs. Williams daughter. The ticket booth, and other finishing touches are being put on the Dreamland Theatre, and this popular play house will be ready to open, as soon as the influenza is wiped out. Hon. J. Cooly Johnson of Wewok, was here Monday, looking after business affairs. A SKETCH OF THE (Continued from Page 3) more sin and sinners in the world today than there were when the Gospel Age began. I am sure all earnest hearted persons will agree with me when I say that all work done in the name of God which is not strictly in accord with the plans and specifications of the great Architect of the universe will be condemned and dashed to pieces in the day of inspection or ordinance. In conclusion, I beg to suggest that the progress of God's great plan (which no man can bind) can properly be likened to a great building which while in process of construction appears to be everything also beautiful; but when it is finished and the ruff seaffoldings are torn down then it is seen in its beauty and grandure. So it is with God's plan of the ages. Which the unsightly seaffoldings of race hatred, war, destructions, envy, sickness, sorrow, pain, death and evil in all its varied forms are torn down it is then that the beauty and grandure of Jehovah's design will be made manifest to all the world. In the finished and polished product will all God's creatures both in Heaven and on earth fully and powerfully recognize His unequilled justice, power, love and wisdom. Then the desires of all nations will have fully comes. Questions solicited. Will give scriptorial reasons for every thought herein suggested. Phone 7378.

HAND TAILORED CLOTHING Satisfaction Guaranteed THE DISTRICT JUDGESHIPS Two men are to be elected for judges of the twenty-first Judicial District, which embraces Tulsa and Pawnee counties. It is important to the people of Tulsa that two good men, capable and efficient men be elected to fill the two places. It is particular important to the Colored people of these two counties that these two men be fair minded men who are above race prejudices and who will give every man a square deal regardless of race or color. The Colored people of these two counties can easily decide who these men should be, if they have not already done so, by giving a little thought to the candidates seeking office. The two most conspicuous and likely candidates for these places are Hon. Redmond S. Cole, of Pawnee and Hon. Owen Owen, of Tuba Both of these gentlemen are high class men, with thorough legal education and training and if elected will fill the positions with credit to themselves and to the District. Mr. Cole is well known to the Colored people of Pawnee county and will receive a strong Colored vote in that county. The leading Colored men of the county are supporting him and he has a number of influential Colored friends in Tuba county who are supporting him. Mr. Cole is a true democrat who has made good in the practice of law. He has served his county longer than any other man as county attorney, and acquitted him self with credit as assistant U. S. attorney. OWEN OWEN Mr. Owen is a well known Tulsa man who has made good in the practice of law here in Tulsa where he has lived for the past four years. Before coming to Tulsa he lived at Nowata where he served a number of years as U. S. Probate attorney, resigning that position to come to Tulsa. In this city, as in Nowata Mr. Owen has made many friends because of his high-class gentlemenly qualities. He has many true friends among the Colored people of this city who will support him because he has proved himself a good and true democrat, with real democratic principles to guide his conduct towards the fellowman. Like his illustrious Lissian, Senator Robert L. Owen, Mr. Owen is a man of high ideals and often ambition. He is fitted in every way for the position he seeks at the hands of the voters, and if he will serve with credit to himself and to Tulsa and also the district. FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE We are authorized to announce S. C. Maxey as Candidate for Justice of the Peace, District 1 to be voted for Nov. 5th, 1918. He solicits your vote. FBANK INGRAHAM, who for several years has served the people of Tulsa county as Court Clerk, was nominated in the democratic primary election for Justice of the Peace for District Four, and of course his name will appear on the democratic ticket for the consideration of the voters of Tulsa county next Tuesday, along with the names of four other good men. Mr. Graham is one of the best known men in the county and no one doubts that he will be elected with plenty votes to spare. His years of experience as court Clerk, his general knowledge of law, his good nature and his keen perceptive ability, along with his many other good qualities, make him a very much qualified man for the position he seeks. He has made many friends among the Colored people of Tulsa and 90 per cent of those who know him will vote for him without regard for party lines. OUR STATE SUPERINTENDENT The Colored people of the state should not be more concerned about any office than that which has to do with the educational institutions of the commonwealth. It is this office that administers the affairs of all the schools of the state and the very voters owes it to his children and his neighbors' children to support the man for this office who is best qualified from every standpoint to till the place. For the past eight years, this important office has been presided over by R. H. Wilson, the popular Chickasaw man who has proved himself in Public schools of the state will compare favorably with the equitable school system of any state in the union, and in many respects surpasses that of many of the states. It has required many years of hard work to bring our schools up to the present standard, and the credit is justly due Mr. Wilson, who has left nothing undone to promote the interest of the youths of our state. The salaries teachers in this state, while yet lower than Mr. Wilson desires, is considerably higher than that paid in most of the other states and if his plans work favourably, salaries will be even better in the near future. During the recent primary campaign Mr. Wilson was assailed by his opponent because of his alleged "pro-Negro" sentiments, and much WELL'S Quick Lunch Cafe No. 1.

Cartoons picturing Mr. Wilson sitting at a table with exaggerated pictures of Colored men were circulated all over the state, but in spite of this mean attempt to incite race prejudice to the detriment of Mr. Wilson, he was nominated by a good safe majority. The Colored people of the state will not forget this incident, and every race teacher in the state should voice their approval in the ballot box for the man who thus openly advocates creating a board of Colored regents to control our schools. Wilson will be elected. Let us help turn the trick. OUR INSURANCE COMMISSIONS This is also an important office which should receive careful consideration from the colored people of Oklahoma. There are thousands of Colored people who are paying many thousands of hard earned dollars into the treasuries of the insurance companies every year as monthly premium, and there has been several instances of attempted fraud on the part of some of these comampeis' against some of their Colored patrons. Among the other duties of the state insurance commissioner it is his business to protect policy holders from this kind of graft. The present incumbent in this office is A. L. Welch of Oklahoma City, who has administered the affairs of this office with much credit to himself and the state for the post four years. Too much cannot be said of this man for the good part he has played as state insurance commissioner in protecting the poor people of the state from gigantic schemes and graft tricks which some of the insurance companies have attempted to practice.
