We fear only to do wrong. VOLUME IX. Democr Tulsa County Demo Welcome TWO PROMINENT TULSA NEGRO ES ELECTED DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION. The Tulsa Star heartily congratulates the Democracy of Tulsa County for its broad mined liberality in selecting two of its enegretic and faithful Negro adherents as delegates to the Democratic State Convention, held at Muskogee during the present week. The Star is glad to know, and believes that very many of its readers also will be glad to know, that when the Tulsa County delegation was seated, it signalized the entrance of not only women, but Negro men on equal terms in full participation in the affairs of the Oklahoma Democracy. We feel that this is a great stride forward which will result in attracting a larger number of the more intelligent and law abiding class of our Race to join the Democratic party, thus materially aiding in preserving the supremacy of the party in state and local affairs. The list of delegates follows: Judge Redmond Cole. Regular Delegates: Senator R. L. Davidson, Doctor C. L. Reder, Hon. R. M. Glascow, Judge W. J. Campbell, Hon. S. R. Lewis, Hon. W. T. Brady, Judge Owen Owen, Judge Conn Linn, Hon. SAND SPRINGS NEWS. Lawyer J. I. Saddler, one of our prominent business men of Tulsa, was a visitor to Sand Springs, as a guest of D. W. Filmore.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 6.—With scarcely a year's work in Oklahoma City Colored schools to her credit, the performance has been of such acceptable character, that Mrs. Scott Brown has had her educational field of usefullness very greatly enlarged. Mrs. Brown was formerly connected with the Muskogee schools, in charge of both English and Normal departments. Last spring she accepted a flattering offer to take entire charge of Manual Training work in Oklahoma City Colored high schools. Having made good in this, she has now been assigned as supervision over all the grades. In her new position, her many friends are sure she will win greater credit! At last State Teachers' Association. Mrs. Brown was chosen as first vice president. Mr. A. G. W. Sango of Muskogee, was in the city Thursday on important business. TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURD AY.

Colored Delegates Given a Hearty Welcome at Muskogee. Star News Service. Muskogee, Feb. 5.—This city was the scene of great political activity and enthusiasm today, the occasion being the holding of the State Democratic Convention. Over 2,000 delegates and workers were on hand, among them being a large number of women. The convention proceedings were harmonious in a high degree. The Democratic men gallantly stepped aside giving the right of way to the women for many honors. Not a little comment was provoked by the presence of Messrs. Saddler and Douglas, as members of the Tuisa County delegation. They received a hearty welcome. The convention unanimously endorsed the presidential candidacy of Senator Robert L. Owen, of Muskogee, and granted him permission to name 20 delegates to the National Democratic Convention at San Francisco, Cal., in June. The full list of delegates chosen and appointed follows: A.

NUMBER FOUR tes Only Pythian Sanitarium Plans Are Consumed Supreme Chancellor Green Wires Star Work Begins at Once on $135,0000 Building. Star News Service. Tulsa, Feb. 5.—Just as we are going to press, the Star is the happy recipient of a telegram from Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, at Hot Springs, Ark., informing us that the work of the Sanitarium Commission of the Supreme Grand Lodge, K. of P., has been successfully consumated. For the gratification of our many readers belonging to this great benevolent order, we reproduce the telegram below: "Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 4. "Tulsa Star, "121 N. Greenwood Street, "Tulsa Oklahoma." "Supreme Temple and Sanitarium Commission of Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, with Supreme Chancellor Green presiding, purchased fifty-two and one-half feet more frontage on Malvern avenue, and closed plans for the completion of bath house and sanitarium, to cost One Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars. Work to begin immediately. "S. W. GREEN." Mr. Sampson Drew, Widely Known Oklahomaan, a Claim Agent. The Star is pleased to have opportunity of reproducing the above likeness of its friend, Mr. Sampson Drew, and to give an account of the important duties he is creditably performing in an entirely new field for Negro activity. This is not the first time Mr. Drew's name has appeared in column of a newspaper. On the contrary, his name has ap- A. E. peared frequently in connection with his running down criminals and bringing them to the bars of justice. For some time Mr. Drew has been employed by the Muskogee Traction Company as special agent. Not knowing any Colored man similarly employed, we believe Mr Drew is a pioneer in this new field. His duties are various and cover a wide area of territory. Some of his most important duties are the investigation of claims against this company and looking up evidence in these cases. During the recent street car strike at Muskogee, he played a conspicuous part, and his services contributed materially toward ending the strike. At one time, he had 78 men under his charge, and the work done was approved and commended by Supt. Long and others. The Star feels certain Mr. Drew from day to day will achieve greater credit and honor for himself and the Race to which he belongs. p.m. THE TULSA STAR, SATURDAY FEBRUARY, 7, 1920 XCHANGE rst Street ON-UNION" KAISERISM PEOPLES' EXCHANGE 111-113 East First Street STRICTLY "NON-UNION" UNIONISM vs. KAISERISM Three years ago we Americans—we Tulsans, if you please—repressed a shudder as we thought of the horrible fate that would surely await us if the covetous kaiser's murderous armies should be victorious over the valiant forces of the hard-pressed allies. We insit one one principal requisite in our sales force—experience. This factor is the principal reason you are able to get such prices as the People's Exchange offers. This factor saves us hundreds of dollars every week. In our meat department we require experienced meat cutters—men that know their business—we get them and we pay them liberal wages. If the kaiser's armies had been successful in bringing reality to his wild dreams of world dominion, We Americans—we Tulsans—would now be in a state of bondage too terrible to contemplate. Not only would we be virtual slaves to an arrogant, brutal people, but we would patronize the kaiser at every step and in every action. We would bhy our clothing from the German clothier, or else we would add the kaiser's rakeoff to the price of tht clothes; we would buy our groceries where we were told to buy them, and our furniture where we were directed. We would work under paid overseers of the kaiser, and pay them well for their timee; we would build our houses under the watchful eye of a German contractor. If he didn't like our demeanor he could pull the men off the job and tell us to take our medicine like obedient children. We felt that as soon as the Hun had taken Paris and London—feats which in those gloomy days did not appear impossible—he would sweep on mercilessly toward America, the land of the free—the rich and fertile country he so tremendously desired and which he so intensely hated. We had every reason to feel that this would have been his plan of action—his plan of accomplishment if humanly or inhumanly possible. Today we are menaced with an immediate danger that is just as sinister, just as merciless, as the kaiser's nefarious designs. It is not here under the cloak militarism. Nor is it so flagrantly open that its ultimate purpose is so plain militarism. Nor is it so flagrantly open that its ultimate purpose is so plain to everyone as that which Germany harbored. But its success—its triumph—would mean little less to our city, our country, our state and our national life than the plan which the kaiser so determinely tried to carry out. Give the matter some serious thought and reflection, and you'll decide that it isn't. Under present conditions, we would have to pause and consider which would be our choice—unlimited unionism or unlimited kaiserism in America. The finale—the assured bondage of a formerly free and unhampered nation following the triumph of either menace, would, in effect, be the same. It does not require the philosophical brain of a Henry Clay or a Thomas Jefferson to distinquish the analogy, in theory at least, of the untimely execution of Edith Cavell and the recent steel strike in America; the raping of Belgium—the lustful killing of innocent women and children—and the coal strike which caused hunger and privation all over America. All these acts were committed for "effect." They were done to terrorizing a liberty-loving people into submission by a cowardly bunch of would-be rulers. Every red-blooded American who possesses the tiniest spark of manhood, rebels at the repellant thought of compulsion. Hardly a one of who does not yield to a gentlemanly request if its fulfillment is within the bounds of reason. But to be told that we MUST perform a specified action, or accede to a certain demand, is a command that goes rasping against the grain of our inherent rights in a free country. Just as the Germans committed these depredations to instill a fear into the hearts of the allies that would scare them into submission to an autocratic rule, so were these strikes called by unionism to instill fear of and submission to organized labor in the hearts of Americans. We Americans have participated in more than one bloody war thus far to show our national and individual independence, and our disregard for such mandatory commands. We don't like coercion—and all the world knows it. Organized labor is rapidly cutting its own throat, just as Germany did when she started to rule the world. About the time a man or a set of men get inbued with the idea that they are going to rule the universe, a stick of dynamite usually explodes in close proximity to them. Tell a liberty-loving American that he MUST—try to coerce him—and nine times out of ten you'll have a hearty scrap on your hands. Two years ago we told Germany if she was ready to recover her senses and listen to the calm voice of logic and reason, we might desist and give her a chance for her life, providing she would not in the future stray from the paths of rectitude. Unionism has prostituted merit. Even the cardinal principles of unionism, as practiced by our forefathers, has been cast to the wind. Our fathers and their fathers did an honest days' work, whether they were paid the dollar or ten dollars. But put the average union man of today on merit alone—and you will be disgusted with the result. It's now time for the world to give the same ultimatum to unionism. We have already given ours. The harmonious force you see in the People's Exchange is working on merit alone. Not a word of dissention is ever heard. Every member of this force is satisfied with the treatment he receives at our hands. TYRIE C.

Muskogee, Feb. 5.—The revival services being carried on by "Black Billy Sunday" at the Antioch Baptist Church on North Fourth street, are attracting large and enthusiastic audiences every night. The manner in which this Negro evangelist attacks Satan and sin is in a large degree similar to that of the original white-Billy Sunday. These exhortations for the wicked to leave crooked paths and to take up the journey along the narrow and straight path are making deep impression and mary converts have crowned the speaker's efforts. Muskogee's "little giant" the Rev. S. S. Jones, is being congratulated for inaugurating a much needed revival under such an able and competent leader. During the past week, real estate agents have reaped a harvest locating nearly a hundred Negro families who have been compelled by harsh and brutal treatment to leave the districts around Dumas, Pine Bluff, and Elaine, Arkansas. Many of these refugees were financially able to buy city homes, while others secured locations on farms as renters and crop-sharers. The most of these emigrants are intelligent and thrifty in appearance, and it appears that Arkansas' loss will be Oklahoma's gain. The Rev. S. M. Twine, Twine building, who is at the head of a real estate business operating in nearly every state in the Union, was out looking for an expert bookkeeper and office assistant last Monday. The Reverend says he is unable to find among the youth of the city, anyone competent to do the work in his office. Mr. G. L. Cochran, well known citizen of Winfield, Kans., was in Tulsa Monday on his way to Guthrie, Okla. While here he visited Editor Smitherman, who unfortunately was confined to his home by illness. --- Shall The Dead Live Again? The faithful Job, after suffering great bodily pain and mental anguish, and after praying that he might die and go to the grave and there rest in silence until the wrath of God be over past, asked the questions: "If a man die shall he live again?" (Job 14:14.) Millions have asked this question since that time and had it been fairly treated and honestly answered by those who claim to teach the word of God (the clergy class) much sorrow would have been avoided in the earth. According to statistics furnished approximately nine million men were the victims of the great world war just passed. Within that same period of time twelve million fell victims to the dread pestillence "Spanish influenza." For some years now in addition to this the average death rate in the world has been approximately one hundred thousand per day. When there is a great calamity and many people lose their lives, the people of the earth stand amazed and shocked, but in the daily routine of affairs death has become so common that many think it must always be this way. Most naturally the people have looked to something to bring comfort to their hearts concerning their dead friends and something upon which they could base their hopes for the future for themselves. Truly this is an earth of sorrow, the sorrow of a people bowed down under the great burden of sin, groaning and travailing for something that would deliver them from it. The poet has well expressed it when he says: "The earth is old with centuries, But not for this she hangs her head; Closer to her heart the sorrow lies, She holds so many dead." From the bloody battlefields broken regiments have returned and some fathers, mothers and sweet-hearts have waited at the station and looked in vain for the coming of the one they have dearly loved and they have asked: "Shall we see him again?" "If they have fallen in battle is there any hope of our being again united in happiness and love?" The scriptures alone answer this question satisfactorily. The hope of the world lies in the resurrection of the dead. Wonderfully beautiful is the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead and those who see and appreciate it rejoice in the fact that God, in the exercise of His loving kindness, has provided a means whereby those who have suffered death might be awakened again, and those waiting in sorrow may have their hearts made glad. "A voice was heard in Rana hlamenation and bitter weeping Rachel weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. (They were dead, not conscious somewhere.) Thus, saith the Lord, refrain thy voice from weeping and thine eyes from tears, for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord, and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in the end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border." (Jeremiah 13:15.y7. Every where in the Bible death is spoken of as an enemy. The land of the enemy, therefore is the condition of death. The promise here is that these dead shall be brought back to their own border, namely, the earth their former condition. We here submit that if the doctrine of inherent immortality is correct, then there could be no resurrection of the dead, for the reason that you can not resurrect a person that is immortal-death proof. Resurrection means "a restanding to life" and no one could be immortal without having life in its fullness. Hence the doctrine of the inherent immortality of the soul denies the resurrection of the dead. We furtheir-state that if the doctrine of eternal torture is true, the resurrection of the dead could not be true for the reason that no one could be eternally tortured without having eternal life an indestructible existence, and if one is already in a state of life indestructible and subject to eternal torment, a restanding to life, a resurrection would be utterly impossible. Thus we see that the doctrine of eternal torture is a plain denial of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead. We further state that if the dead are conscious and can now communicate with their living friends thus the influence of mediums, or other wise, that the doctrine of the resurrection could not be true, for the reason that one who is conscious and able to communicate could not be resurrected to life, for they al.ready would have life. Hence the doctrine of spiritualists or communication with the dead is a denial of the resurrection of the dead. All these doctrine completely deny the great ransom sacrifice. The ransom sacrifice is the keynote to every doctrine, as to whether or not it is true or false. In other words, it is the measuring rod by which every teaching can be measured and it can be determined whether any doctrine is true or false. Thus we see that if the Bible teaches clearly and conclusively the resurrection of the dead and the doctrine of the great ransom sacrifice, the other doctrines of inherent immortality, eternal torment and spiritualism, are as false as the devil himself and this we will prove by the scriptures. Ransom means literally "a corresponding price." God created the first Adam perfect in organism and character. He gave him his law, the penalty of which prescribed death for its violation. He violated the law and death came upon him. While under that sentence of death he be- THE TULSA STAR, SATURDAY FEBRUARY, 7, 1920. gat children. He did not begat any children while in a perfect state and condition but did after he had violated God's just law and the sentence of death was passed upon him and he was driven out of the garden. Being legally condemned and having the death process in him and feeding upon the poisonous elements of the earth, and being in a dying condition, necessarily Adam could not transmit to his offspring the perfect life germ. The race not being born until after Adam's sin would legally come under condemnation by inheritance. Therefore all of Adam's progeny were born in an imperfect condition. Evidently this was David's thought when he said: "Behold I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me." (Psalms 51:5.) Every child born is imperfect, a sinner subject to death, not because of any willful wrong doings on its part, but because the child inherited this condition from Father Adam. St. Paul corroborates this when he says, "By one man sin entered into the world." (Rom. 5:12) Every one dies therefore, because he cannot avoid it, and this death would be eternal had not God graciously provided a ransom price or redemptive process. Jehovah made promise saying, "I will ransom them from the power of the grave, I will redeem them from death. O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction." (Hosia 13:14). Be it noticed here that He did not promise to redeem or ransom any one from a conscious state of hell torture, but His promise is entirely consistent with all the other scripture, that the dead are dead, awaiting the progressive steps of Jehovah's plan to awaken them out of death. A perfect man (Adam) sinned. Nothing but a perfect man could redeem him. God provided in his law "a life for a life, a tooth for a tooth." Matt has ever desired redemption and deliverance, but to carry this out himself was an impossibility. Hence the Psalmist wrote, "None can by any means redeem his brother or give God a ransom for him." (Psalm 49:7) In his perhuman condition Jesus was the logo. He was God's active agent in the creation of all things. God promised to deliver mankind and the one who should accomplish this deliverance would be honored above all others and He offered this honor to Jesus. Consequently His life was transferred from the spirit to human condition. "He was made flesh and dwelt among us." (John 1:14.) The whole race, being under the condemnation of death, desired life, and Jesus said, "I am come that ye might have life." (John 10:10). Of Him the Apostle Paul writes, "We see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering death, crowned with glory and honor, that He by the grace of God might taste death for every man." (Heb. 2:9.) He was born of a woman not begotten of man, being begotten by the power of Jehovah (Luke 1:35). When He reached the age or thirty years he was a perfect man, physically, mentally in character, every way. He exactly corresponded with Adam before he sinned. Therefore, He was able to become the ransom a corresponding price. He offered himself in full consecration to the Father. God accepted Him and begat Him to the divine nature. He was crucified upon the cross and was raised from the dead by the Father's power, and ascended upon high, with the price sufficient to redeem all mankind. Why did not God permit His beloved Son to come to the earth and die? "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) His resurrection from the dead is a complete guarantee that all the dead shall be awakened. The Apostle Paul says: "There shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust." (Act 24:15) Jesus declared that the hour is coming when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of man and live, when all the dead in their graves shall be awakened and brought forth to be given a full knowledge of the truth and a trial for life. (John 5:25, 28, 29) There was a class of clergymen in Jesus' days known as the Sadducees, who denied the resurrection of the dead. There is a class of clergymen today by their teachings deny in substance if not in terms the resurrection of the dead. How strange that they have been unable to see that one must be dead before he can be raised from the dead. If alive they could not be resurrected. When Jesus said that God sent Him to earth to die in order that the others might have life and might not perish, it meant that they would perish and could not live except by His death and resurrection and any position or teaching, therefore, that denies the unconscious state of the dead, denies the ransom and denies the resurrection. The Apostle Paul emphasizes this argument when he says, "Now, if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen?" I Cor. 15:12, 13. The converse of this proposition must of necessity be true. If Christ did rise from the dead, then all others who have died must also be brought forth. Emphasizing this fact the apostle further says, "If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain?" Verse 14. In other words, it would be useless to preach anything about God's plan the condition of the dead, or any ARE YOU SICK! Your Resolution Should Be: "I will Get Well the Mechano-Therapy Way" Mechano-Therapy is a scientific method of finding the cause of disease in the spinal column (back bone), and correcting that cause by adjusting the vertebrae (segments) of the spine to eliminate any pressure on the nerves that pass out from the spinal cord to supply all parts of the body with nerve force (life). When this is done nature will make you well. Mechano-Therapy adjustments open the channels for nature to do her work. Let us explain how Mechano-Therapy will make you well.

If we took any other position we would be false witnesses, and so says the apostle "Yet and we are found false witnesses of God because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ; whom He raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not then is Christ not raised? And if Christ be not raised your faith is vain, ve are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished." (Verse 1g-18.) Is it not strange that St. Paul did not say here that even those fallen asleep in Christ are alive in Purgatory, waiting to be prayed out by some priest Why not take the Apostle Paul, the Lord Jesus Christ and all the faithful writers of the Bible words concerning the condition of the dead and Jehovah's stated plan of resurrecting the dead? Why should not the people cast out all and refuse to listen to those whose principal object is to get in all the filthy lure and undeserved honors they can. It is no wonder the people are so far in the dark concerning the plan of salvation. They have already permitted these false shepherds, wolves in sheep's clothing (the false clergy) to lead them too far in darkness. The time has come when every honest hearted individual should demand the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth on matters pertaining to God's great plan of salvation. In the Apostle's argument concerning the resurrection of the dead in I Cor. 15th chapter, after arguing the negative side of the question he assumes the positive side and says, "But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruit of them that slepti" (Verse 20). In other words, for 4,000 years man had been dying and in that time none had been resurrected. Now Jesus, the perfect one had come, he had suffered death and God had raised Him up from the dead and He was the first that ever was raised up. Continuing his argument Saint Paul says, "For since by man (Adam) came death, by man (Jesus) came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so all in Christ shall be made alive but every man in his own order Christ the first fruits, afterward (after the resurrection of the Christ) they that are Christ's at His appearing." (Verses 21.23.) Thus He establishes the fact that until the end coming of Christ, the dead must remain dead, wholly unconscious out of existence, and at the second corner of Christ the resurrection takes place. This same apostle continues his argument in his epistle to the Thessalonians says, "But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are sleep (dead) that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope for if we believe that Jesus died and rose sleeping (in death) in Jesus will God bring with him. (Otherwise stated, not until the coming of Jesus will those asleep in death be awakened.) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout and the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with Him in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord." (I Thes. 4:13-16.) Here the apostle So-called headaches, eye diseases, deafness, epilepsy, vertigo, insomnia, wry neck, facial paralysis, locomotor ataxia and other inco-ordinations are caused by pressure on nerves at this point. Pressure on nerves in this part of the spine is the cause of so-called throat trouble, neuralgia, pain in arms, goitre, nervous prostration, la gripe, dizziness, bleeding from nose, disorder of gums, catarrh and other so-called "diseases." Pressure on nerves here will cause so-called bronchitis, felons, pain between the shoulder blades, hay fever, writers' cramp, and other troubles. Nerve pressure at this point causes so-called nervousness, heart disease, asthma, pneumonia, tuberculosis, difficult breathing and other lung troubles. So-called stomach and liver troubles, enlargement of the spleen, pleurisy and a score of other troubles are caused by pressure on nerves in this part of the spine. At this point we find the cause of so-called gall stones, dyspepsia of upper bowels, fevers, shingles, hiccough, worms, and many other inco-ordinations. Pressure on nerves at this point will cause so-called Bright's disease, diabetes, floating kidney, skin diseases, boils, eruptions and rheumatism. Such troubles as so-called appendicitis, peritonitis, lumbago, etc., yield to Mechano-Therapy adjustments in this part of the spine. Why have so-called constipation, rectal troubles, sciatica, etc., when adjustments at this part of the spine will eliminate the cause? A slight displacement of one or both hip bones will produce so-called sciatica, together with many "diseases" of pelvis and lower extremities.

Advocate In Wasoington, D. C., the Colored people are said to have $11,000,000 deposited in white banks and are said to pay annually to white mcr chants $18,000,000. This represents power loaned by the Negro to the white people of Washington. Consider that $11,000,000 in the white banks. What are those banks doing with this money? They are building and capitalizing hotels, therets, amusement and recreation places which colored people are not allowed to enter. They will use the very power of this very money to beat the colored people if they should sue in the courts to enter a hotel or a restaurant or the first floor of a theater. It is very likely that those banks earn from one to $2,000,000 by the use of this deposit during the year. It is not likely that the colored people draw back as much as $200,000 in interest. Suppose the colored people were organized to aggregate and use capital themselves? They could then buy some of the very property where they are debarred from living. As it is now, their money is buying the property, but they are not allowed to live on it or to purchase it because the money is not under their control nor under the control of their people. This money in these banks represents power loaned and practically donated to the people who shut the doors in the face of those who are supposed to own that money. Now consider that $18,000,000.00 spent in the white stores by colored people. Suppose this was spent in, say 18 department stores owned and managed by colored people. These stores would then do a business of $1,000,000 per annum each. This would employ from among the colord people 18 different sets of business managers, clerms, agents and every other employee from the president and office force down to the floor-sweep and the engineer. As it is now, it employs a few Negro floor-sweeps and scrubwomen—maybe. If this money were spent in Negro businesses for the purchase of merchandise, the Negro would have the merchandise, the salaries, the wages, and still have the money. As it now is the white men have the salary, the earnings, th dividends—and at the end of the year the Negro has only the worn out clothes and the memory of the food which he may have eaten. If this money were turned over in Negro hands it would still be in Negro hands. We are spenders. Let us profit by our own spending power. Mr. and Mrs. Will Douglass of N.

J., Feb. 6.—Dr. Clement T. Branch, a Negro, was appointed: member of the Camden Board of Education by Mayor Ellis. He is the first Negro member. That night E. E. Read, president of the Board for many years, resigned. Marry G. Dales, for eleven years a member, sent in his resignation to the Mayor. Dr. Charles P. Tuttle, another member, said: "I have also been considering the matter of resigning. Unconfirmed rumors were current that other members are also contemplating sending their resignations to the mayor. Dr. Branch said he would not decline to serve on the board because his presence was objected to. Mayor Ellis is out of the city. In their resignations neither Mr. Read nor Mr. Dale gave as the reason the naming of a Negro on the board. Mr. Dale assigned his health and "other reasons" as the cause for his resignation, while Mr. Read said his business duties were pressing. Those who object to the appointment do so on the ground that the mayor had not consulted with the members of the board. They allege the appointment was purely political at and the retirement of William J. Foy was forced to make a place for Dr. Branch, who has taken an active part in Seventh Ward politics.

TULSA DEMOCRACY ELECTS TWO NEGRO DELEGATES. Muskogee Colored Democrats Welcome Tuisgns at Convention. Tulsa Star News. Muskogee, Feb. 6.—The news that the broad mined and liberal hearted Democracy of Tulsa county had selected two well known and prominent Negroes as delegates to the State Democratic Convention in Muskogee February 5th, was received with unusual pleasure and gratification. While this may not be the first time in the history of the Democracy of Oklahoma that such recognition has been accorded the Race, it illustrates beyond controversy that the Democratic party of Oklahoma at the threshold of the 1920 presidential campaign, is not a party of and for white men only. In fact, just at this time, it appears the Republicans constitute the party of white men only. During all the recent blood-curdling contest between McGraw and Hannon no Negro Republican was conspicuous enough to be visible. Reports from Chicago, Washington national Republican headquarters also show that the Colored brother is being completely ignored. On the other hand, bureaus and committee rooms have been opened and are in full swing under the management of representatives of the just recently enfranchised women, who, of course, have never won a victory for the party. The Colored adherents, thru lean and fat years, stoop shouldered and bowed from the weight of carrying the Republican banner to victory, are growing weary in soul and body, waiting for the welcome sign to come in and be fed. Thus the action of the Tulsa County Democracy in sending Judge E. L. Saddler and Frederick Douglas delegates is considered most commendable indeed, and worthy of emulation in other parts of Oklahoma, in Muskogee County, for instance. Unfortunately it must be said the only difference between the two parties in Muskogee County in the treatment of the Negro is the difference in the spelling of the names of the parties. While in Tulsa, fifty miles away nearly a dozen Colored men hold honorable positions under the present city and county officials, here we have one old colored man at the city hall, who gives on the impression that he is there largely because he has no other place to sleep. It is well known, the Negro Democrats of Muskogee are muchly wanted and a plus quantity before and during the primarites. It is far from just and fair, that they should become minus after the white officials get their feet under the court house mahoganies. The coming of these delegates from Tulsa is hoped to be most auspicious, inasmuch as both are men of culture and ability, fully prepared to give such an account of themselves as to open the eyes of the Oklahoma Democracy to the class of Negroes entering the party. Attorney O. B. Jefferson, our well known attorney and others, gave th Tulsa delegates the kind, whole-hearted welcome they deserve. TRAIN COLORED WOMEN IN THE ART OF VOTING So Advises H. T. Walker, Attorney and Democratic Leader. Tulsa Star News Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 6.—Attorney H. T. Walker has the very laudable ambition to train the newly enfranchised women of his race in the art of voting. He has availed himself of every opportunity to publicly announce his readiness to undertake this task. At the various churches and public entertainments Mr. Walker has interestingly and eloquently pointed out the urgent necessity of our women being properly coached, so that through no error their votes would be thrown out. For some reason, no very great interest has been shown by the Colored women in response to his earnest pleadings. Our women seem not to understand that the Australian ballot used in Oklahoma is no easy proposition to get up against. Possibly they believe they can do as their fathers, husbands and brothers have been always doing, just making an "X" mark under one cer- --- tain emblem at the top of their bal- lot. Knowing Mr. Walker to be an honest man, we do not believe he would confine his instructions to the voting of just one party's ticket. His purpose is to encourage our women to signalize their entry into the pol- tical arena by casting their votes intelligently—for the best men, for the best interests of the Negroes and their neighbors. Mr. Walker is right in his thought that the only true method of remov- ing fancied or real wrongs under which the Race suffers is through the wise use of the ballot. As the men have failed to accomplish much along this line, he wants the women to take hold and complete the job On the other hand we are informed that the Hon, R. E. Stewart. the well known attorney and stalwart Republican, has expressed the opinion that for Colored women of Oklahoma to troop en masse to the polls at this time, would be unwise, impolitics and prejudiced to the intests of the Race. He is not looking down at his feet, but far ahead at the distant line of the economic horizon. Mr. Stewart is a close student and a deep thinker, hence his view is worthy of greatest consideration One thing may deter Mr. Walker's patriotic plans, and also serve to enforce Mr. Stewart's proposition. That thing is registration. If not registered, no one can vote. Little or no attention is paid by registers to the fact that the Grand Father's clause was pronounced unconstitutional. The pathway for Colored men has been made both rocky and rugged as Maine's coast line; the experience of some of our best known women in Muskogee last spring, shows that their sex did not materially smooth their pathway. At one regularly advertised registry booth, while a group of Colored women were clamoring to be entered, the registry book was being carried around the block by the registrar's wife and she was issuing the certificates to her female neighbors. In another precinct a bunch of our women who knew what they wanted and had come to get it, after wandering up town and back several times in search of the clerk, finally invited themselves in the residence where he was and had been all the time. What they said to him would best be set to jagg and doubtless the registrar uttered a vow with Poe's raven of "Nevermore." MUSKOGEE COLORED MAN REACHES AGE OF 108 Rev. Hicks. a Globe Trotter, Believes in Work and is Still Working. Star: News Service. Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 6.—The census enumerator has found a new occupation for colored people of this city. The "Negro freak" is the latest role conducive toward much free advertising in the local press. Recently an enumerator discovered a strange woman and a chill equally odd. The woman was portrayed as being so old, she was cutting her third set of teeth, and the child as a brown boy with blue eyes and light hair. Considering the H. C. L., the woman is an object of pity, as it will coot her considerable to exercise the new teeth in mastication. The boy is certainly a concrete evidence of kind and benevolent white neighbor. And now comes the Rev, Hicks, living out at end of the Fondulac line. He claims to be 108 years old. To his credit he does not claim to have been a valet of General George Washington. The Reverend has traveled the world over as a member of a theatrical company. He is originally from Mississippi. He is an earnest advocate of the value of works and believes in setting a good example by keeping himself busy, even at his present age. The Star reporter took up the idea of work suggested by Rev. Hicks with one of South Second street's statues. The young man while giving no material evidence of support through hard work gave exterior showing of opulence by his natty clothinfg. He said; "There's nothing new in what that old fellow says. With most of our people 'work' is their first, last and middle name. As for me, Rev. Hicks is 108 and I'm 22, so that gives me 86* years to take up the matter of work. There's no hurry." EQUALITY IN COURTS; BETTER SCHOOLS IN SOUTH. These Wants Are Emphasized by Negro Editors Everywhere. A. N. P. Service The Negroes have always fought in American wars. Negroes took the places of their masters in the Revolutionary War. Negroes fought PAGE FIVE. on both sides in the Civil War, four Negro regiments were the first to fight in the Spanish American war, and 342,277 Negroes were in our army in the recent war. The first two soldiers decorated by the French were Negroes. Now Negroes want a few f the privileges they deserve. They want universal suffrage, better schools in the south, their name spelled with a capital "N" equality in the courts better housing and sanitary conditions for labor, reforms in their prisons, an equal wage scale for white and blace, the right to sit on juries, and more fair play in America. They do not want any more discrimination, or slavery in the south, or lynching anywhere in the United States Any white man who reads the Negro Year Book must admit that they have a fair claim on the granting of their demands. The people of the United States cannot consistently ask freedom and equality for the Czecho.Slovaks or any other oppressed people until they give it to the 10,000,000 Negroes in America.—San Francisco Call-Post. SAND SPRINGS NEWS. Sunday was regular pastoral day at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Perkins delivered a wonderful serenm at 11 o'clock, also Sunday night. The Colored business section of Sand Springs is very much alive, so when visitors are in our city always rest assured that you will find just what you are looking for, whether it be groceries, dry goods or something noce to eat, without having to go to other Races. Rev. M. Flenny has been on the sick list for the last few days, but is reported as improving. The A. M. E. Church certainly went over the top Sunday. Their quarterly conference was held here at 3:30 p. m. Rev. H. O. Johnson, the presiding elder, gave us some very encouraging remarks. Rev. Dr. Tucker, pastor of Mt.

The Home Mission Sisters showed that they were working by raising $118.15 on a quilt that had over 200 names embroidered on it. The sum which each sister raised was as follows; Mrs. Maggie Hicks, $65.35; Mrs P. L. Corneal, $27.70; Mrs. Naccy Mannings, $10.70; Mrs. K.B. Winters, $4.00; Mrs M. Lott, $3.75; Mrs. W. B. Reynold, $3.60; Mrs. R. Parks, $3.05; Mission Barrles, $2.93. The total collection for the day included $156.70. Rev. A. G. Hicks is pastor of this busy little church. Mrs. Rosa Shelton, of Dallas, was called to the bedside of her daughter. Mrs. Wm. Cherry, who is very low with pneumonia. Mr. O. W. Gurley, while attending the Republican caucus at Booker Washington High School on Monday night, was taken suddenly ill and had to be carried home. For a time it was thought he had suffered a paralytic stroke, but by careful nursing he is rapidly recovering to the delight of his many friends. Mr. and Mrs Eddie Green of Baltimore, Md. who are here filling an engagement at the Dreamland Theatre, were pleasant callers this week. The Deluxe Company made a decided hit here and they will always find a welcome in Tulsa. They will open an engagement at Dreamland No. 3, Muskogee on Monday. They have every thing and some. Mr. J. R. Posey of Muskogee was in Tulsa this week, looking after business matters. Mrs. Loula T. Williams, proprietress of Dreamland Theatre,visited Oklahoma City this week to attend the opening of the new Race Playhouse, which taken place on Monday night. It is a spacious place and a credit to our people. It is owned by Mrs. Breaux, who is well known to the people of Oklahoma as an educator and musician. Considerable money has been spent to make the theatre a modern one and immense crowds attended the opening. The fire, which broke out in the Hot Waffle Cafe on North Greenwood early Friday morning, created great excitement for a while and resulted in the cafe and Mrs. Bell's cafe adjoining being ruined by fire and water both.

BELL, Pastor Dr. Frank Crane Discusses Race Adjustment from Unbiased (A. N. . P Service.) This old world is made up of individuals of many different types. Of these types, there are many motives actuating them in the things they say and do. There are those in public life who say or write things for effect—the effect of temporary advantage or personal whim On the other hand, there are equally as many, if not more, who are in a position to say or do things that will help the good old cause of humanity to rise a little higher in the plane of existence, but, for reasons best known to themselves, they fail to deliver. It is quite true that very few public speakers or writers express righteous convictions without first considering the effect such expressions will have on their pocket-books or personal popularity. It is easy enough to talk about the popular things, but it requires real courage to say the things that are known to be right, and discuss the subjects that are known to be important, if it is known that a more or less unpopular chord might be Suffrage are two notable subjects that have had full play with the whims of popularity. The subject of Race Adjustment has always been a live wire and has been skipped over, skimmed over and ducked by many able people. For a long time, the most ordinary individual could get front page, space by saying uply things. But that day is passed, thank goodness. Now, we are finding big men with big minds and large influence, who dare to speak the truth because it is truth, and timely truth. Not the least of these, by any means, is Dr. Frank Crane, a writer with international reputation. Dr. Crane's short essays on popular life subjects reach more than 10,000,000 people daily through the syndicated newspaper service. His opinions stick in the mind. He has unfilinchingly told some wonderful truths on American Race Adjustment He has been a great and unselfish helper of the cause, and it is so be hoped that every person of our entire group may learn to know him as a friend of justice—and particularly is this hoped for the youth.

Res. 531 Vernon St. REINSTATEMENT OF WAR RISK INSURANCE WITHIN Eighteen Months Still Holds Good. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—To relieve any confusion that may exist in the minds of former service men on account of the special provision of lapsed War Term Insurance which authorized reinstalment up to December 31, 1919, regardless of date of discharge, announcement is made by Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance that the provisions for reinstalment of lapsed or canceled insurance, within 18 months from date of discharge, upon payment of only two months' premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated, provided the insured is in as good health as at the date of discharge or expiration of the grace period whichever is the later date, and states in his application, still hold good. The provision that discharged service men are permitted to reinstate at any time within three calendar months following the month of discharge by merely paying the two months' premiums, without making a formal application or a statement as to health is also still in force. The provisions for reinstatement do not protect a man until he acmay not be in as good health as he was at the time of discharge and consequently may not be able to secure reinstatement. Don't put off reinstatement. Do it now! STURDY BODIES FOR WORK- ING CHILDREN WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The imperative need of physical tests for children about to enter employment and of continuous supervision over the health of childres at work has received national recognitin in the organization by the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department if Labor of a permanent committee to determine physical standards for working children. Little has been done up to the present time in the United States to prevent children from going into work for which they are physically unfit, and practically no study has been made of the effects of early labor on the growth of the body. Yet the children who begin work between the ages of 14 and 18, and in many instances as early as 12 or even younger, are the children of least resistance in the community. They are in general the children of the poor, and in consequence, are likely to be the ill-nourished, the the undersized, the anemic, already handicapped, their growing bodies can put up no resistance to the exacting demands of inhustry on muscle and nerve. During these maturing years they are peculiarly liable to injury from overstrain and peculiarly sensitive to all sorts of industrial hazards. A great deal of the work done by children is, moreover, totally unfit for them. It often involves too much sitting, or too much standing, the carrying of weights beyond the child's strength, the overexercising of one set of muscles at the expense of another, and, in certain occupa-investigations have shown that the sickness rate among juvenile laborers is alarming, especially during the second year of working life when the injurious effects of early labor upon already undeveloped bodies have had time to make them'ves felt. A "physical minimum" for children entering employment was provided in the standards adopted by the Children's Bureau Conferences held in Washington and other large cities in May and June, 1919. This minimum declared that "A child shall not be allowed to go to work until he has had a physical physician or other medical officer especially appointed for that purpose by the agency charged with the enforcement of the law, and has been found to be of normal development for a child of his age and physically fit for the work at which he is to be employed." It provided also that "There shall be an annual physical examination of all working children who are under 18 years of age." But what constitutes "normal development" for boys and girls of different ages, and what indicates that a child is "physically fit" for the employment which he is about to enter? Only through exact observation and measurements can it be demonstrated that a child is unfit for certain kinds of work, or that too early and too exacting labor is endangering his physical development. The standards to be applied constitute a vitally important part of the problem of child labor. The committee appointed by the Children's Bureau will undertake to provide these standards. The committee consists of. Dr. George F. Barth, Director of Hygiene, City Health Department, Milwaukee, Wis. Chairman; Dr. Emma M. Appel, Employment Certificate Department, Chicago Board of Education; Dr. S. Josephine Baker, Chief, Bureau of Child Hygiene, Department of Health, New York City; Dr. C. Ward Crampton, Dean, Normal School of Physical Education, Battle Creek; Dr. D. L. Edsall, Dean, Harvard Medical School; Dr. George W. Goler, Health Officer, Rochester, N.

LOYAL LEGION OVER- LOOKS THIS DUTY Pittsburg Editor Asks Legion to Protect Rights of Negro Soldiers The white soldiers of the United States should prove themselves a power to compel recognition of the civil right of the Negro soldiers who served in the same cause of civilization. There should be a pride of the service and a protecting determination for the rights of every soldier, white or black, to bring the Legion to the defense of the Negroes of the South where racial discriminations and hatreds are blind to the respect due the uniform. The Legion could not do a better service to the country, to its self and the Negro soldiers than by taking up the case of the ex-service man of the South and compelling respect for him as well as his white comrades, so far as his rights under the law are concerned.—Pittsburg Dispatch. GOVERNMENT PROSECUTES SUGAR PROFITEERS Commissioner Figg Again Pres Predicts Drop in Sugar Star News Service. WASHINGTON, Feb 6.—While the justice department today denied that sugar profiteers were escaping punishment, Senator McNary, of Oregon, declared that evidence of enormous profits were being made in sugar—running as high as 100 percent in some cases—had been received from many sources. Assistant Attorney General Figg, in charge of pushing the government's campaign to reduce living costs, announced that in the last 60 days 110 criminal cases have been stated against sugar profiteers. These resulted, he said, from approximately five hundred investigations of alleged profiteers cases. Figg predicted a drop in sugar prices.

Of the large group of "Y" workers who went overseas 84 were Negroes, and 23 of these were women only three of whom were in France during the actual fighting; not until months after the armistice were other Negro women sent overseas. There were never more than 75 negro Y secretaries in France at any one time, and they were scattered among nearly 200,000 Negro troops.

These 75 secretaries served with the fighting units and with troops in the Service of Supplies and in leave areas. The fighting units of Negro soldiers were the 92d and 93d Divisions, the latter comprising four regiments brigaded with the French. It was in these units that the secretaries won well-deserved praise for faithful service and unfaltering courage. The airplane raids, bombardments from enemy guns, and bursting gas shells did not slacken their ardor to follow men wherever they went. This work was well summed up, in a talk given to Negro secretaries at a banquet in Paris by Mr. E. C. Carter, head of the Y. M. C. A. overseas, who said, "No group of secretaries had been more successful nor has any work been on a higher level. I have been impressed most by your spirit. Sometimes you have met with difficulties and have been insulted by workers with the red triangle on their arms but in it all you have shown the spirit of the Great Master." AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION UPHOLDS THE LAW Strong Resolutions Adopted Condemning Mob Violence. (A. N. P. Service.) HILADELPHIA, PA., Feb. 6. In voting on what was apparently a n an t i-resolution, on lv 85 members of the American Bar Association have gone on record as opposing the principle that whatever force is necessary to maintain the supremacy of the law should be controlled and exercised by the Federal, State and municipal governments. This fact was brought out at a session of the Executive Committee of the association, meeting in the Bellyue-Stradford. There was submitted to the members of the American Bar Association for a referendum vote the following resolution: Whereas, The Constitution of the United States and the Constitutions of the several States contemplate government by and for all the people and not by or for any particular class, group of interest, now, therefore be it "Resolved, that the liberties of the people and the preservation of their institutions depend upon the control and exercise by the Federal State and municipal governments of whatever force is necessay to maintain at all hazards the supremacy of the law and to suppress disorder and punish crime. It developed at the only session that while there were 6875 replies in favor of the resolution, there were only 85 against it. The names of the 85 dissenting members have not been made public.

WANTED—Rooms; nice rooms and accommodations. Mrs. Whitlock, 17 North Boston. Farm owners are offering all kinds of propositions to induce Colored families to become their tenants. Every day the Federal State Employment Service, Second and Main streets, receives requests from farmers who are looking for help. So far, they have been unable to meet the demand for workers, and unless farms are manned there is no chance for the high cost of living to come down. Business men believe the price of cotton will be better than ever next year and are planning to raise as much of the fleecy staple as they can. Some farmers are offering monthly salary, others shares of the crop. As a rule very good working conditions prevail and farmers are prepared to assist tenants by advancing money to hire extra help during the rush season. JOHNSON TAILORING CO., 605 E. Cameron Street.
