Let Us All Resolve to be True American Citizens; to Fight and Die for Democracy=HERE AT HOME SIXTY=TWO LYNCHINGS DURING 1918! A Fearless Exponent of Right and Justice. An Uncompromising Defender of the Colored Race. NO. 7 SIXTY- NO. 7 America's Disgrace Lynching Record For 1918. Tuskegee, Institute, Ala. Dec. 31, '18. Dear sir: I send you the following relative to lynchings for the year: According to the records compiled by Monroe N. Work, in charge of records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, there were 62 lynchings in 1918. This is 24 more than the number 38, for the year 1917. Of those lynched, 58 were Negroes and 4 were whites. Five of those put to death were women. Sixteen, or a little more than one-forth of those put to death, were charged with rape or attempted rape. The offenses charged against the whites lynched were murder, 2; being disloyal, 2. The offenses charged against the Negroes were: Alleged complicity in murder, 14; murder, 7; charged with threats to kill, 6; charged with rape, 10; charged with attempted rape, 6; alledged participation in fight about alledged hog stealing, 3; killing officer of the law, 2; being intimate with woman, 1; assisting man charged with murder to escape, 1; robbing house and freightning women, 1; killing man in dispute about automobile repairs, 1; making unwise remarks, 1; making unruly remarks, 1; killing landlord in a dispute over a farm contract, 1; assault with intent to murder, 1; wounding another, 1; robbery and resisting arrest, 1. The states in which lynchings occurred, and the number in each state are as follows: Alabama, 3; Arkansas, 2; California, 1; Florida, 2; Georgia, 18; Illinois, 1; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 9; Mississippi, 6; North Carolina, 2; Oklahoma, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 4; Texas, 9; Virginia, 1; Wyoming, 1. Very truly yours, Robert R. Morton, Principal LOCAL WESTERN UNION USES COLORED MESSENGER BOYS; ALSO MACKAY AND POSTAL COMPANIES The day of miracle has not passed. As a proof of this assertion one has only to behold the Colored messenger boys darting hither and thither on their wheels, delivering and receiving telegraph messages for the Western Union Telegraph Company, regaled in the headgear and other paraphrefanalia of the local Company. And the messages coming in contact with their hands do not seem to be polluted. At first one doubted the the truthfulness of his eyes, but the more he looked the more Colored messengers he saw and now they are common' place. When the first two or three Colored boys were given employ ment the white lads stated they would not work with "niggers" and as fast as one quit another Race youth was employed, and thus Colored messengers are greatly in the majority now, and from all angles. No dear reader, this is not a myth or fairy tale, but the real, unadulterated truth. And that isn't all!—Hous ton (Texas) Observer. Hon. R. B. Lindsey, a prominent attorney of Chandler, was a visitor in the city in the city this week, arranging to become a permanent resident of Tulsa. THE TULSA STAR Weekly Mail Edition TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1919. A NEGRO REPUBLIC IN AFRICA. ANCE it will be said that the plan of the establishment of a Negro republic second thought it will have to be admired thinkers among the Americans. Some who shall say that their dreams may not their fullness, but at some time in the fifties of the Colored are gathering in France the establishment of such a republic, not yet get all they ask at this time. The—or for the race at large—the same that President Wilson stands for giving placed first in their request Germany for this they are asking independence—if such they may be called—ask Congress to add to the colonies there for thousand square miles owned by France, and upon this they would set up a population of 40,000,000 black people. Not right in this connection to cite Liberia changed in recent years and especially in war; but the establishment of a Negro acquire guiding hands. There is not much under the joint control of the country, exception of Germany. That country in Africa, or at least should not be perceive that Germany has lost its African people too much to say that there are educated of taking a large part in guiding they would have Liberia as an example and of their own race there.—Tulsa D AT FIRST GLANCE it will be said that the plan of leaders of the Colrace in America for the establishment of a Negro republic in Africa is rather fantastic, but upon second thought it will have to be admitted that it is possible. There are Negro thinkers among the Americans. Some of them may be idealistic, but who shall say that their dreams may not come true? Not now, perhaps in their fullness, but at some time in the future. These leaders of the Colored are gathering in France to urge upon the peace commission the establishment of such a republic. They are to ask much and they may not get all they ask at this time. They will ask for the toNegroes of Africa—or for the race at large—the same self-determination as to government that President Wilson stands for giving the people of other races. They have placed first in their request Germany's million square miles in Africa and for this they are asking independence. These dreamers—if such they may be called—ask even more. They want the peace congress to add to the colonies there formerly owned by Germany the four thousand square miles owned by France, Portugal's eight thousand square miles, and upon this they would set up a Negro republic, starting with a population of 40,000,000 black people. Perhaps it is not right in this connection to cite Liberia as an example. Conditions have changed in recent years and especially is there a change of outlook since the war; but the establishment of a Negro republic in Africa would for years require guiding hands. There is not much doubt as to that. This could be done under the joint control of the countries contributing the territory, with the exception of Germany. That country has no claim upon a foot of territory in Africa, or at least should not be permitted to have, and it is safe to presume that Germany has lost its African possessions for all time. It is not saying too much to say that there are educated Negroes in the United States capable of taking a large part in guiding the destinies of such a republicic. They would have Liberia as an example and could avoid mistakes made by men of their own race there.—Tulsa Democrat. LOYALTY AMONG THE NEGROES DOUBT ABOUT THE LOYALTY of they have demonstrated it both at hath but it is not strange that they were b papers of the north appear to believe. publican newspapers says the Negroo- by German propaganda and by mob- ing on the other hand—and that the New- ning of the war. acts causes race troubles and they are for the Negroes of the south were not he had been at any other period, and when there is no cause for it.

How how much German propaganda be one hand prior to the war, but we de- g the war, and even since peace has is now, the object of cruel Race pro- th.

S. soldier does not were 24 more lynchings during the of the sixty-two lynched last year w and she was charged with protesting there is no doubting the loyalty of Colo- to consider the treatment generally a as some times forced to admit that our understanding. THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THE LOYALTY of the Negroes of the United States, for they have demonstrated it both at home and on the battlefields of France; but it is not strange that they were loyal, as some of the republican newspapers of the north appear to believe. One of these republican newspapers says the Negroes of the south were beset on all sides—by German propaganda and by mob violence and crime against their Race on the other hand—and that the Negroes faced a social crisis at the beginning of the war. Such statements causes race troubles and they are untrue. At the beginning of the war the Negroes of the south were not subject to any mob violence than there had been at any other period, and there is no mob violence at any time when there is no cause for it. In the very states of the north where hands are lifted in holy horror when a Negro is lynched there are occasional lynchings of whites and blacks. No state is absolutely free from this stain. Some times the belief is forced upon the people of the south that a few of those in the north would like to stir up race troubles if it could be done. They harp constantly upon the mistreatment of Negroes in the south, but when Negroes migrate to the north, as they have been doing lately, they find a coldness awaiting them there and it is not due at all to weather conditions. In the East there are societies for the ameloration of the wretched condition of the American Indians and the members of the societies maintain magazines and publicity bureaus where they air their views. They even try by long distance to amelorate the conditions of Indians of Oklahoma who are worth millions and who ride in $7,000 touring cars. The misinformed people of the East do not, of course, know what they are talking about, and it is the same with the people of the north who blat so much about the deplorable condition of the Negro in the south, and who fear he is not being treated right—The Tulsa Democrat. We do not know how much German propaganda beset our people in the Southland or the one hand prior to the war, but we do know that prior to the war, as during the war, and even since peace has been declared, the Race has been and is now, the object of cruel Race prejudices and human outrages in the South. Not only are we Jim Crowed, and denied the essentials of democracy, and American citizenship, but we are still victims of mob violence. Even the uniform of a U. S. soldier does not protect us from this great evil. There were 24 more lynchings during the year 1918 than were in 1917, and five of the sixty-two lynched last year were Colored women, one was pregnant, and she was charged with protesting against the lynching of her husband. No, indeed, there is no doubting the loyalty of Colored Americans, but when one pauses to consider the treatment generally accorded the Race in this country, he is some times forced to admit that our loyalty almost surpasses human understanding.

But it may be nerness at least temporarily finds lodge Reading on the Celtic yesterday were five battle-scarred members of Colonel Hayward's famous Negro regiment, by all accounts second to none in achievements in the great business of rounding up Hun. The lady of the Bartholdi statue with her torch held gloriously aloft had benignantly gazed upon them. The dusky heroes must have done a little thinking as they returned the gaze. They were glad they were back, as their shinning faces attested, with all her faults, they still love America. They hope on that the sun of the day of justice and equality will yet rise. Souls of black folks—what they feel may be left to psychologists to analyze. But it may be surmised that something akin to bitterness at least temporarily finds lodgement. The world is being made a safe place for democracy. The President is abroad on the great enterprise of securing equality for all. Yet in the homeland he thinks it no shame to come into close affiliation with elements whose chief political possession is that democracy shall cease functioning when it approaches the cabin of the man of color. Our radical elements, those complaining most Americans. Marshal Haig, in his talk at Cologne, counselled the British correspond- loudly against injustice, are as cold as marble to wrong done to 10,000,000 Americans. Marshal Haig, in his talk at Cologne, counselled the British correspondents to do what they could to prevent the undue swelling of British heads. The advice is also good for us. When we feel ourselves being puffed up by thought of our national virtues, let us think of the Negro and be humble. It is by no means certain that those who have worn the country's uniform and borne their full part in protecting civilization will gain the primary boon of being judged according to their merits as rawn rather than as members of a race against which thee is discrimination more gross than that endured by any of the underdogs of Europe. In one respect our high professions are a sham—New York Globe. A. M. E. CONFERENCE A BIG SUC- tension secretary. One Thousand Dollars Raised For Flipper-Key-Davis University. Rev. Tucker Says South to Be Garden Spot of The World. MUSKOGEE, Okla. December 18. "The American Negro is no longer considered a baby race in civilization," declared Bishop J. M. Conner, D. D., of Little Rock, Arkansas, in addressing the Northeast Episcopal conference, which opened here yesterday morning in the Ward Chapel A. M. E. church. "The Negro must win his way to civilization as others have done and he must not sit and depend on others to do for him what he should do for himself. This is an age of self-help," continued the Bishop, "and it will pay us to learn that lesson right now. You must educate your children after the public school turns them out, for they are just then prepared for study. The state is not going to carry on your Universities and colleges, so you must do it yourself. "To be a Negro to-day is a great honor. We have established the fact that we are loyal American citizens—in fact we were the only people in America during the great conflict in whose faces you could look and tell that we were one hundred white man entered Washington, and his actions were out of the ordinary, he was shadowed by a detective and the department of justice demanded that he be brought in, and required of himb an explanation. If he could not tell a straight story, then he was locked up, but if a Negro who was a stranger acted peculiar they just declared that he was a list Negro in town. "Our soldiers have wrought well, and I do not want them to kick over the bucket of good milk by indiscreet acts. They must obey the law to-day as never before. Well they must act their part, and many concessions will come to us. No law, no class of laws can force a white man to do what he does not want to do when the Negro is involved. Be conservative is my advice to my people everywhere." The conference elected the following officers: J. S. Dawson, Recording Secretary; D. A. Stewart, Martin Reeves, R. H. Curtis, P. A. Edwards, marshalls; L. E. Nelson, correspondent to the Christain Recorder, Philadelphia; C. A. Suton to the African Methodist, Argenta, Ark.; C. R. Tucker, D. D., to the Voice of Missions, New York City. "God's Goodness to the American People," was the theme of a practical address delivered by Rev. C. R. Tucker, of Tulsa. He said that while the war was destructive of human life and property, it brought the American white man and the Negro closer together and they were bootlegging, immorality and everything else that is against the law of God and man. "We are going to make our dear Southland, the garden spot of the world," he said. Dr. Tucker is slated for episcopacy, and D. V. M. Townsend for church ex- "But our sufficiency is of God"—II Cor. 3:5, was a text of a sermon preached last night by Rev. Dr. A. E. Hubbard, presiding elder. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the conference will be addressed by Dr. Tompkins of the Presbyterian Churchh, and Rev. D. Brandt of the 3 o'clock Bishop Theodore Payne Thurston of the Episcopal Church will speak. "Education" will be the theme discussed to-night. Invitation has been extended to the white people to be present. Seats will be reserved for them. Conference will be in session until Saturday. COLORED MAN DEPOSITS NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS. A Colored man from Alabama arrived in Gary a few days ago and went to a certain bank and deposited $9,000. It was amusing to see how the bank officials were bowing and scraping to this man when they learned that he had such a big roll. The banker even took him out for a drive and entertained him in grand style. It goes to show how the color line fades when you have the money.—National Defender and Sun. Y. M. C. A. TO HELP COLORED SOLDIERS FIND EMPLOYMENT The Young Men's Christoan Association of this city, under the direction of Mr. Buckner, secretary of the Association in Tulsa, has launched a movement to find employment for honorably discharged Colored soldiers. Such men are requested to register at the Tulsa Star office Saturday and Monday, giving their full names with present address; also the name and number of the military unit with which they were connected. Mr. B. C. Rannavalona an enthusiastic race man who has recently moved to Tulsa, has been detailed to assist in the registration PRAISES THE STAR'S CHRISTMAS EDITION Head of Langston University Says He is Proud of Our Special Edition. The following letter from president J. M. Marquess of the Langston University commending the Christmas edition of the Star was received last week: Langston, Okla., Dec. 27, 1918. Hon. A. J. Smitherman, Editor Tulsa Star, Tulsa, Okla. Dear friend Shitherman:— First let me say that I have had the privilege of reading many "special editions" of Negro newspapers but I have my first time to find one which would surpass in general ex- cellence the one you have recently gotten out. Its whole make-up was artistic; its technique of the highest quality and all of us are proud of it. I am sorry you sent us so few copies. Cordially yours, J. M. Marquess.

C.,—Coming right on the heels of the announcement of General John J. Perishing, commandant of the American expeditionary forces now in France, that the 92nd Division, composed exclusively of Colored troops and several hundred Race officers, would remain abroad and form part of the American army of occupation, his official act thereby recinding the former memorandum ordering the 92nd to a base port for embarkation, was the arrival Tuesday of the first Colored overseas unit. When the big steamship, Celtic, reached New York harbor Tuesday it brought back to American shores the headquarter's medical detachment and third battalion of the 814th Infantry, Colored comprising 36 officers and 1119 men. Moreover there were five units of casuals, 69 bedridden from disease and several civilians. In all there were 155 officers and 2122 enlisted men. The men were given the characteristic New York reception, as they planted their feet once more upon the terra firma of America. They, for the most part, looked fit and trim, and the only regret expressed was that the war ended before they could capture the Kaiser, for it is a generally known fact that it took "long tall Colored Americans with khaki on to make the Hun lay his weapon down." A NEW NEGRO NATION A scheme will be presented to the peace congress, and it is said that among its backers are many eminent men both in this country and in Europe, which is claimed, if adopted, will go far toward settling the race question. It is proposed to turn over the German African colonies, in which there are 12,000,000 people, to the "African Race," not symply to Colored people of these colonies. Educated Colored people residing in all other nations are to be asked to go there and buildup a nation of Negroes, that shall at first be under the tutelage of the thie entente powers until a stable government is established, and then become an endependent nation on an equality with all other nations. There is no doubt that thehere are enough educated Negroes in the world to set up a stable government in Africa, but there is great doubt whether any number of them will want to go there. The republic of Liberia was established with the same end in view, but it has never made any advancement that has attracted the attention of the worldd. Africa naturally belongs to tt the Negro, but if that Race will not develop its great natural resources some other race will.—Omaha World- eHrald.

Three Months, .60 RACE PREJUDICE WILL CAUSE THE NEXT WAR There is very little doubt as to the conspicuous part"Race prejudice" is going to play in the adjustment of the world's affairs; the Race question, no doubt, will prove a very kotty one-one that will require much serious consideration. Japan promises to be the foremost factor in demanding a square deal, and the same treatment for the Colored Races as the white race enjoy. A prominent Japanese predicts that the next war will be the outcome of race prejudices; that the Colored Races are steadily developing their civilization and there is no way in all the world to make them accept the treatment that the whites have heretofore thrusted upon the darker races, and unless the whites concede the Colored races a man's chance, the inevitable is sure to come. Japan at the peace conference will act, on behalf of all the Asiatis races, and we trust the racial questions will be presented at the conference, and if possible, a solution offer. The American Negro question should come up, because there is no race in all the world, that has had to undergo the hardships of the American Negro; and no one has so willingly submitted to uncalled for wrongs, as our people, and at the coming peace conference, in some way or rather, we hope the Allies will be apprised of true conditions touching the American Colored man, and let some steps be advanced to retify the many wrongs imposed upon us, and for which we must give and bear. The world applauded the American Colored soldiers and the great part he played, but the allied countries are not aware of the damnable conditions the black fighters left behind, here in the "Country of the free, and the home of the brave," so far as the Colored Race is concerned they are worse than wretched. We cannot expect very much, or considerations from President Wilson, or even the Colored men whom the United States government is responsible for being in France to the conference, because they dare to say any thing but, "all's well!" Moton Dubois or any other Colored man whom the government has caused to be in France, during the session of the peace conference, will not do the American Negro one iota of good, therefore, Colored men going from this country as delegates from the several organizations, are our only hope, whether they do any good or not let us send all the Colored men we can to France; however, let them be men of brain and manhood; men who will not be afraid to make the effort to show the true conditions of the American Negro, and demand that condition be improved A dispatch from Tokio, Japan will be read with interest, and will contains food for thought. eHrewith we are giving the dispatch: Belief that the next war will be the outcome of race prejudices is expressed by Yukio Ozaki, formally minister of justice, and a leading member of the constitutional party. Mr. Ozaki said that in his opinion the colored races, which steadily were developing their civilization, would demand finally the same PHONE O. 5749 Dr. Miller's De 116 1.2 and 118 1.2 S.

Mr. Ozaki recommended that at the peace conference, Japan, acting on behalf of all the Asiatic races, should introduce the racial and population questions for consideration, and if possible secure a solution. In a country like Japan where the population is increasing with alarming rapidity, he said, it was but natural that the surplus population try to obtain an outlet even by resorting to arms. From Japan's standpoint, said Mr. Ozaki, the racial or population question questions were more important than President Wilson's "fourteen points," as laid down for a basis of Germany's surrender. These racial questions he said concern the future of millions of souls in Asia. Mr. Ozaki warned the Japanese no to develop the German's system of state organization, which in the present war had proven to be a mere machine for destroying civilization and for trampling under foot the rights of other nations and peoples. On the question of Japan's occupation of the German South Sea Islands, Mr. Ozaki declared that the United States should dismantle her forts in the Philippines and Hawaii and that this would be more important for Japan than the taking over of the South Sea Islands. OUR old friend, Hon. M. M. Rodgers has issued a call for the Race in Texas to meet him in Dallas this week, to take steps to demand better treatment of Colored passengers on trains in that state. The meeting is timely, and should be as good fruit. The Colored man must get the habi of registering kicks when he is not treated right. The Colored men in Oklahoma can well afford to patern after their Texas brethren, kick and kick hard until some body feels the blows. Huddling Negro passengers off into filthy ends of coaches, with not scarcely enough room to turn around in, is not right. Let us demand equal accommodations. DURING the yuletide a bunch of Colored soldiers in New York, on being refused to be served drinks in a saloon, made a "rough house" affair of it, and for good measure, carried off all the juice in the house. A Couple of thousand of Colored citizens joined the soldiers, and things looked powerfully "squally" for a while. Our boys who have been serving Uncle Sam will not stand for all the uncalled for prejudice heretofore heaped upon us, as a Race and our white brethren had just as well learn this truth now. See? The National Trading Company a strictly Colored concern of Texas with the mother store at Palistine Texas, is operating seven well-stocked grocery stores in that state. The moving spirit is a Mr. Scott, a British subject, who has succeeded in getting the Race together along this lins; however our old friend, Ben White of the Farmer's and citizen's Bank, Colored, is presidednt. These co-operative stores are successfully involving thousands of dollars. Let our Oklahoma brethren wake up. AT the Union station in Dallas, Texas, there are fully 150 men and women of our Race employed in various capacities, and their salaries are from $55.00 to $106.00 per month. The train callers, red caps, etc., are all colored, and deach one seem to be doing his duty jam up. The Star man met several of the men employed, and they were loud in praise of Superintendent Thomas Casey, who it is claimed is a true friend to the Colored Rare; do your work, is one of his requirements, and dhe is too broad to be looking at a fellows color.

Six Years in Our Present Location THE TULSA STAR "JIM CROW" SIGNS RETURNED For some reason, while our country was at war with the enemies to democracy in Europe, the obnoxious "Jim Crow" signs which were used in the street cars of our city to remind loyal Colored Americans that there was a legally prescribed place for them to ride, separate and apart from the people of any other race, mysteriously disappeared, much to the pleasure of the Colored patrons of the street cars in this city, causing many to believe that the dawn of true democracy was upon us. But with the return of peace these signs of former days have also come back, and now when loyal Colored Americans, though they may be battle-scarred from their contact with the much cursed Huns for the cause of democracy, board the street cars they are to be reminded by these damnedable signs that their enjoyment of the democracy for which the race has given so much, for which many of them have fought and died, even their rights as American citizens, is restricted by the state laws and city ordinances under which they live. Surely the Colored man's part in his home land is anything but enviable. In the meantime our president is in Europe striving to bring about justice and equality for all mankind. GOV. Williams, on the 50th anniversary of his birthday, December 20, granted clemency, pardoning and paroling 281 inmates of the McAlester and Granite prisons. 26 of the men pardoned were men sentenced for life on charge of murder. The Colored lawyers of Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kifn., recently met and organized for the mutual benefit of their prozfession. Let all of us unit for the Race's "mutual benefit." Delegates from many towns in Texas held a conference with Gov. Hobby, December 30 at Austin, Texas Questions touching the Race were discussed; The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was behind the meeting. LET the Colored home resolve to read more Colored newspapers during 1919 than ever before in the history of our Race. Our people must bear in mind that ofr newspapers, periodicals etc., will be just as wholesome as we make them, and we can best show our appreciation by becoming paid-up subscribers. THE White folks in Mississippi lynched two Colored men for protecting the virtue of two Colored women, and the lynched the women because they were virtuos; America, if such horrible crimes are allowed to be committed, will soon be in Germany's class. HOT air resolutions are not essential to the Race's progress, and if we hope to see our Race come into its own, we must do more and resolute less. Push the Race's interest, and quit trying t okill off some member of same. Private, Charles Lewis, a Colored American soldier, who had been honorably discharged from the army was lynched by a mob at Hickman Ky., recently. He wore the American uniform when he was lynched. IT is said that Poto Rico looks at "character, and not color." We wish that our country would adopt the same policy. THE Tulsa Star begins 1919 with more hope of success than ever before, and believe we are going to make the New Year a banner one; we want our people to know that the paper belongs to them, and if they fail to take hold of it, they are to blame. We want the Co-operation of every one in our Race, and we assure you that we are going to strive to merit every encouragement you extend to us. met Prof. S. S. Reed of Wiley University on a Texas and Pacific train, and after showing him the special Xmas issue of The Tulsa Star, received money for his subscription; and that able educator said, "Race men who possess such push to get out such a magnificent sheet, can always have my support." Thanks, Prof. Reed. The Star trusts thaht 1919 will find more unity in our Race, and that each member of said Race will strive to wipe out dissention, strife, etc., which have caused us to stumble so frequently in the march of progress. Let us put aside our "tomahawks" and instead of being "gin" every thing and every body, learn to push every good move. Knockers are nuisances of the worse species. What is it the mob always seek? Not justice, but revenge. Punishment according to aw will not suffice It is torture that is demanded. Of secourse perfect justice and law may seldom secure. It may take a life for a life; it cannot make reparation for the inexpressible spiritual suffering a crime, involving murder, for example, may have caused. But beyond the punishment provided by the law, men and nations may not go. They may not make even the slightest approach toward a punishment inspired by the spiritit of revenge. The idea of subjecting the criminal to physical torment as part of his penalty is abhorrent both to a right-minded man and a just tribunal. When, however one reads today the comments of many an American news-paper, and the reports of the public utterances of more or less and others, he is startled to see the old spirit of the mob asserting itself. The enemies of the Allies must simply be punished, made to make reparation wherever reparation can be made, we are told, but their cities must be burned, their land laid waste, that is, we must the same crimes they have committed, and which have horrified us and outraged our sense of justice. Then what better are we than they? How much further towards the truth and the light has our "Kulter" led us than theirs has led them? It is out of spirit that springs the desire to see the war ended, not when the things the Allies have fought for are fully attained, there can be present also the consciousness on the part of the victors that they have had their revenge. Shall this war brutalise us, or shall we come out of it with our ideals of justice and honor still unimpaired?—Our Dumb Animals. :MINNESOTA TO HAVE COLORED GUARDSMEN St. Paul, Min.-Minnesota will be one of three states in the union to boast of a battalion of Negro guardsmen upon completion of plins for four companies of Negroes in St. Paul and Minneapolis as a part of the new National Guard of Minnesota, authorized yesterday by Gov. Burnquist and Adjutant General W. F. Rhinow. Addition of this force to the new National guard will be affected by transfers of four companies of Negro members of the state home guard. edThe home guard battalion is commanded by Major J. H. Sherwood, St. Paul, who will head the national guard unit. Two companies will be maintained in each city. New York and Illinois are the only states having national guard companies of Negroes in the past. AN INSULT TO THE RACE The Independence Reporter is running a "What Would You Do With The Kaiser" column. In one of the contributions to that column yesterday, it was suggested that Hohenzollern be brought to America and made to live with Negroes as a Negro. This particular reply drew forth a vigorous protest from the Colored population of Independence. And no wonder! No respectable Negro would want to associate with Hohenzollern.—Ez. Such rot is enough to disgust a yellow dog, to say nothing of the insult it offers the Colored race, which has sacrificed so much that the world's conflict might terminate as it did. Are we to be continually humiliated by prejudiced, narrow-minded white editors who seem to find so much pleasure in reflecting discredit on the race? Surely we are entitled to something better, and no editor of any race worthy of the titlewould allow allow the columns of his paper to be used to belittle and humiliate a people who have proved such true patriots as the American Negro. AT the recent meeting of the National Colored Equal Rights Assembly for Democracy, which convened at Washington, D. C., the following Delegates were elected to attend the conference of the darker races of the world which will e bheld in Paris at the same time as the peace conference. They are: Rev. M. A. Shaw, Boston; N. S. Taylor, Greenville, Miss.; Rev. R. H. Singleton, Atlanta, Ga., Rev. W. T. Johnson, Lynchburg, Va.; Bishop L. W. Kyle, St. Louis; Monroe Trotter, Boston; Mrs. Ida B. Wells, Barnett, Chicago; Mrs. C. J. Walker, New York City, and Rev. William T. Carter, Seattle Wash. THE RACE NEEDS a good bank, financed and operated by its own here in Tulsa. It can be done, and here's hoping it WILL be done before Christmas comes again. REVENGE Chronic Diseases and Surgery of Women My Specialty for 15 Years. Chronic Diseases and Surgery of Women My Specialty for 15 Years. 'A NEGRO'S FAITH IN AMERICAN JUSTICE "I szhould be happy to have millions of Colored soldiers over here fighting to preserve the dearest and highest valued thing on earth, to the nations of the world and to future generations — liberty. I would be more than happy to have them die if need be as a tangible expression of their determination that the government of the people, by the people shall not perish from the earth." "I am not apprehensive of the future of my people in the States, for the free allied nations of the world will not condone America's past treatment of her Colored citizens in the future; for shall we not have fought beside the best blood, the best white blood in the world in the holiest war of all ages? Shall we not have shown that we are willing, nay, eager to pay dearly, in our blood for the right of the peoples of the earth to share equally in its blessings, to enjoy the same rights, to receive equal justice, to have a voice in the government by our blood contribution? So I go forward certain and sure that my people will share equally with the Armenian and Serb in the fruits of the triumph of right over might and democracy over autocracy. Death is nothing, for I love my race more than life itself." — Lieut. O. E. McKaine, in the Southern Workman. A NICE BUNCH OF NEW YEARS SUBSCRIBERS Mr. Julius Bell, staunch race lover of Newby, Oklahoma, who is the Star's representative in that community, has the honor of being the first of our agents to sent in a list of New Years subscribers. Below is a list of race lovers at Newby who will read the Star during 1919: Messsr. Matt Haynes, Silas Jackson Henry Hill, Chester Jackson, A. W. Chancy, B. J. Willis, W. W. Waters, and K. A. Adams, all of Newby; J Ore, O. P. Wilburn and J. H. Hamilton, of Bristow, and J. C. Cornelius, of Welty, Oklahoma. THE 28TH Annual Negro Conference will convene at Tuskegee, January 22 and 23. These meetings have done much good in stimulating the Colored man to greater efforts, from the fact that there is not so darn much "resoluting" in them. Let the race get down to business and side track the everlasting resolving critter from among us. THE DAY of the Klu Klux Klan, or any other organization like it, has passed forever and the man or men who attempts to operate such gang of outlaws are likely to catch h—from many angles. The Negro of today will prove a formidable stumbling block to such barbarious methods, wherever they are found. "ON TO VERSAILLES," suggests one of our exchanges, to which we agree; and when our men get there let them make known to the world what is being chocked down the throat of the American Negro. Germany's "rough stuff" is not to be compared with the henious crimes perpetrated against Colored Americans in this country.

This was asked by Mrs. Jackson to the tenth grade, but some how they were unable to answer it. The boys were kept in on suspicion and was rescued by the girls who were being kept in from dinner.
