Colored Mayor Hubbard Pr er at Colored De SENTIMENT AT COLORED DEM- OCRATIC RALLY TUESDAY NIGHT DECIDEDLY ANTI- REPUBLICAN Afro-American Democratic Cluo is Made Permanent By Election of Officers; 50 New Members Give Their Names. (By H. A. Clark) The meeting of the Colored democrats of Tulsa held last Tuesday evening in the Masonic hall, 618 East Archar street, under the auspices of the Afro-American Democratic Club was a great and glorious success in every particular, and especially productive of an enthusiasm in the ause of Democracy that augurs much for the future. Two or three hundred young, old and midle aged citizens were in attendance and all gave quiet and close attention to the addresses of the speakers of the sensions, which so often character-meeting, and a pleasing one, was the absence of wrangling and dissensions, which so often characterize republican meetings. The meeting was made remarkable and worthy of long remembrance by the temper and quality of the speeches made by both the Colored and white speakers. A spirit of inter-racial fairness seemed all pervading in both what was to be expected and what was to be granted by the Afro-American Democratic workers on the ine hand and the democratic administration on the other. Frequent applause greeted the narration by the Colored speakers of the courteous and open-hearted manner in which the members of the Race are treated by the officials of the present administration. The club was tempirarily organized last week and the meeting at the Masonic hall Tuesday night was for the purpose of making permanent the organization. Hence the temporary ocicers as follows: temporary organization was made permanent by continuing in office the temporary officers as follows: Fred Douglass, president; J. E Hardy, secretary and J. H. Smitherman, treasurer. The meeting had been scheduled to open at nine o'clock, but Mayor C. H. Hubbard, the chief speaker of the occasion, was late arriving and as a consequence the hour was a little later when the meeting was formally opened. After the reading of the minutes of the last week's meeting, the chairman introduced J. A. Harberson, private secretary to Mayor Hubbard, who gave a very clear and convincing description of the achievements of Mr Hubbard during his present term of office and gave illustrations of his business training and experiences, which so amply qualify him for the much talked about "business administration." Mavir Hubbard came in during his private secretary's talk and instantly he was greeted with a prolonged applause to which he cheerfully responde with smiles and bows in all directions. The chairman then introduced Editor A. J. Smitherman who was greeted with yells, whistling and handclaps in a very liberal manner. The editor was still weak from a recent attack of the "flu" and said he did not feel like talking, but he acquitted himself very creditably and in a pleasing manner. "I am just recovering from an attack of the 'flu' and I am in no condition to make a speech," said the editir, "I would rather have anything in the world." he continued, "than another attack of the 'flu'—except another republican city administration (prolonged applause). Between the two, I pre- --- THE TULSA STAR fer taking my chances with the "fit." The editir's remarks were very timely and to the point and were frequently approved by outbursts of applause. He reviewed retrospectively the history of Colored men in politics during the eight years he has lived in Tulsa, and contrasted the attitude of the republican and democratic administrations of this city towards his race, to the glory of the democratic party. He praised the officers and members of the club for their far-sighted, progressive action as manifested in the organization of a democratic club. "When one of your officers phoned me last Sunday and asked if I would talk on this occasion, I promptly replied that if I could possibly leave home I woul be here; here I am," said the editor. "I am really not able to be here, but I considered this opportunity a call of Democracy and there was nothing for me to di but respond." "There are those who believe that members of our race are by birth and tradition republicans and will never be anything else, but I thank God that the returns all over this country durisg the last few years have shown conclusively that the black man is no longer a slave to the republican party, but in things political he is thinking and acting as independently as men of any other race." The editor closed his remarks with as earnest appeal to the Colored men present to be true MEN and not to be afraid or ashamed of letting it be known that they were democrats, saying that it was his sincere belief that if the Race is to derive any benefits from politic in this country that it must come from the race's political diversification. The next speaker of the evening was Attorney E. I. Saddler, whose remarks were also frequently punctuated with applause. Mr. Saddler laid special stress upon the enjoyment of full rights of citizenship by Colored citizens. He said he had bees classified as a democrat over in Logan County because he had been brave enough to criticise mistreatments and injustices suffered by his race at the hands of republicans. "Speaking of the city administratios Mr. Saddler said: "I have been to the Mayor's office several times and each time I have been accorded the same kindof treatment that I saw accorded to other people, and that is all I ask of any man—is to give me the same treatment that is given to other men of other races. As a race we are not asking any special favors. All we want is a chance to toe the mark along with the other fellow. That is what Mr. Hubbard believes in and it is what he is practicing. That's the kind of politics it takes to win, these days. I am a member of the First Baptist church, but I want to tell you right now, I wouldn't give a d-1. for any man's politics who doesn't give me and mine a square deal." This brought down the house and was productive of much merriment. Mr. Saddler said in conclusion that the world regards the Colored democrat as a man who is thinking for himself. Mayor Hubbard was then introduced by the chairman as the best Mayor the city of Tulsa has ever had. He was greeted with loud applause as he stepped forward. In his opening remarks the Mayor impressed his gratification for the confidence the Colored people of Tulsa had manifested in him and said he was highly pleased with friendly sentiment he found so evident in this meeting. "I have tried to make good during the past two years as your hired servant, and I am more than glad to TULSA, ORLAHOMA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21. 1920. ```markdown ``` The above is the likeness of Prof. John C.

I believe in according to every man, irrespective of race or creed, an absolute square deal. In the city hall there is but one rule as to the reception and treatment of citizens and that rule must apply to all alike as long as I am your Mayor." The Mayor painted a beautiful word picture of the wonderful and unparalleled growth of Tulsa from a little flag station to the leading city of the Southwest in commerce and finance. "Tulsa is rightfully called the 'Wonder City,'" said the Mayor, "because there is no other city in the world that will equal it." He gave a brief outline of what he had accomplished for Tulsa during his administration the past two years and what he hoped to accomplish during the next two years of he is re-elected. He expressal appreciation of the club's enclosure of his administration anl said he would never forget the support he had received from the Colored people in his former campaign for the office he now holds. The Mayor's address was well received and heartily applauded at the end. Chairman Fred Douglass availed himself of the opportunity at meeting to brand as malicious, false the report published in the Tulsa World that he and Lawyer Saddler as delegates, to the recent democratic state convention had been shabbily treated, and said the published report was nothing more or less than a cheap bid for the Colored vote. "Both Mr. Saddler and I were treated very cordially at the democratic convention in Muskogee and the World reporter lied when he stated otherwise." When the roll book was opened and a call issued for members fifty new names were enrolled in a very short time. At the conclusion of the meeting a general handshaking was indulged in and the Mapor played the leading role in this. Among the many present the following well known citizens, "Lookers in on Venice, most likely, were seen in the audience: Messers, A. L. Phillips, W. H. Smith, C. F. Gabe, E. G. Howard and the Rev, H. T. S. Johnson. The meeting was pronounced the largest and best attended political meeting ever held among the Colored people of Tulsa. SHALL THESE HORRORS AWAIT OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS? Mrs. Jennie Wheat Passes Away MOTHER OF MANAGING EDITOR OF STAR IS CALLED TO FINAL REWARD. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints." A more beautiful verse from the Bible could not be used this afternoon in eulogizing the death of Mrs. Jennie Wheat. Born in Mobile, Ala.. in the year 1835. Died at Tulsa, Okla, Feb. 17, 1920. Mrs. Wheat had lived to reach the ripe age of 85 years. In attempting to find words to say we are reminded of that good woman, Dorecas, who spent all of her time in trying to scatter sunshine into every life she came in contact. Such was the good works of Mrs. Jennie Wheat. It has been my personal knowledge to know her for a number of years, and I never knew anything else of her than one who possesses the good old-time religion. She was a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and a worthy member. Coming to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to live with her son, Mr. Theo Baughman. Her health failed her, and being very aged crippled her opportunities for working and being an active member of her church. Yet she kept it at heart and constantly reminded the members of the family that she could not do what she wanted to for her church. I say this without fear of contradiction that Mrs. Wheat has given more meals and made it comfortable for more ministers than any other one woman in the church. She was indeed a prearher's friend, and always saw to it that God's ministers never suffered anything. She never did make much noise about her religion, but her faith was exemplified with good works. One of the greatest things in life is to know for yourself that you are a child of the King. Such was the life of Mrs. Jennie Wheat. I have been told that during her few months' stay in Tulsa she has made many friends, keeping the same spirit which she possessed at our home town, Victoria, Texas. A good, Christian life filled with kindness always makes friends with whom we come in contact. We have been told that Mrs Wheat died in full triumph of faith. On her death bed she was seen to clasp her hands while enjoying the blessings WANTED Young Lady Solicitors to travel for the TULSA STAR.

PAGE TWO SOME FACTS AND FANCIES ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES There Has Been Much Misrepresentation in America About People and Conditions. By MAXIMO M. KALAW, Secretary of the Philippine Mission. A certain lady at the St. Louis Exposition saw at a ballroom a brown complexioned man in faultless evening dress and accosted him with the inquiry, "I suppose you are Japanese, sir?" 14 bb @ b LAMBERTO The man addressed replied, "No, madam." "Then you must be Chinese," she said. Maximo M. Kalaw. "No, I am not. I am a Philippo," he replied. "How's that?" asked the lady. "I thought they were all savages living in the woods." "Well, I'll tell you how I came here," he said. "A month before I left the Philippines I was living in the woods, but the American Governor decided to catch as many wild men as possible, train them and send them over here. So here I am, just as you see." And the St. Louis lady actually believed him. That is what you would call fancies about the Philippines. The fact is, however, that the 11,000,000 Filipinos and their ancestors have been civilized and Christians for 300 years; that the non-Christian population, according to the census of 1918, is only 500,000, and even these are not all uncivilized. Another fancy is that not until the coming of the Americans were school buildings seen in the Islands, roads built, or substantial houses erected. Do you know that for hundreds of years the Filipinos have had colleges and schools and that the University of Santo Tomás is only twenty five years older than Harvard? That as early as 1866, out of a population of 4,000,000 people, there were 841 schools for boys and 833 for girls? That in 1892, eight years before the coming of the Americans, there were 2,137 schools? "To grant self-government to Luzon under Aguinaldo would be like granting self-government to an Apache reservation under some local chief." Thus spoke a former President of the United States during the Filipino-American war. Exaggeration could be an excuse at a time when the dignity of the American people demanded the extinction of Filipino opposition, but do you know that the Philippine Republic, before the American occupation of the Islands, had the approval of prominent Americans who were on the spot—like John Barrett, Director of the Pan-American Union, who compared it favorably with the Japanese government? That Admiral Dewey considered the Filipinos better fitted for self-government than the Cubans? That they had drafted a constitution at Malacos which elicited the approval of distinguished Republicans like the late Senator George F. Hour? That before the coming of the Americans they had produced national heroes like the martyred Jose Rizal, pronounced by a Republican congressman, Representative Cooper, as the noblest victim that has ever fallen into the clutches of tyranny? And do you know that the Filipinos have not had for hundreds of years any caste system, blood distinction or royal families, and that, unlike their oriental sisters, they are the only Christian people in the orient? People have plotted an ignorant mass of Filipinos, litterate, poor, living a life of servitude for a few wealthy land owners and foreigners, with no houses or farms or property of their own. Do you know that 70 per cent. of the people above ten years of age can read and write and that this percentage of literacy is almost as high as some of the states of the Union? That it is higher than in any country of South America, higher than the literacy of the Spanish people, and unquestionably above that of any of the new countries recognized in Europe? Do you know that there are a million and a half farms in the Philippines and that 96 per cent. of these farms are owned by Filipinos. In other words, that out of the 11,000,000 Christian Filipinos, 8,000,000 of them at least live on their own farms, with houses of their own, independent of any absentee landlord or foreign master? That 91 per cent. of the urban property consisting of houses and lands is owned by the natives of the Philippines, and only 9 per cent. is in the hands of foreigners? Yet these are facts cabled by Acting Governor Charles Emmett Yeater to the War Department from the recent census estimates. Having solemnly promised the Fillipinos their independence and having gone before the world as the champion of self-determination, the Fillipino people cannot understand how America can consistently refuse to make good these promises. CLIMATE OF THE PHILIPPINES The Philippine Islands have a mildly tropical climate. The nights are cool and sunstrokes are unknown. The temperature record for the past thirty years shows an average of 80 degrees. DAUGHTER OF AGUINALDO IN U. S. CAPITAL. She Meets Many Wives of American Statesmen and Makes a Hit. When General Erollio Aguinaldo was leading the Filipino army against the American forces twenty years ago he probably little dreamed that some day a daughter of his would visit the city of Washington and would be given a great reception at the famous Congressional Club! And that the wives of 120 members of the American Congress and two wives of members of the President's cabinet would call upon her to pay their respects! But all this actually happened when Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, his nineteen-year-old daughter, visited Washington recently. And those wives of the American statesmen expressed themselves as both charmed and surprised at the refined, tactful, college educated young miss who greeted them. "Miss Aguinaldo was simply delightful," was the expression of one congressman's wife. "She was very modest, yet she acted so natural and thor- HARRIS EWING. MISS CARMEN AGUINALDO, Daughter of the Former Leader of the Filipino Army. oughly at home that she captivated everybody." On another occasion while in Washington Miss Aguinado was given a real ovation 'by a Filipino-American audience when she recited "My Lasi Furewell," poem of Dr. Jose Rizal, the Filipino martyr. Miss Aguinaldo is a student at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill. While in Washington she was the guest of Mrs. Jaime C. deVeyra, wife of one of the resident commissioners from the Philippines. The Capitol building and the Congressional library appealed particularly to the young Filipina, while the beautiful sights from the Washington monument thrilled her with delight. When asked how she liked America, she smiled and answered: "It is a wonderful country. I didn't like winter at first, but since I have learned how to skate I am having fine times. All the Americans whom I have met have been very good to me. My friends in Urbana and my classmates in the university are just lovely, but I cannot help feeling homesick at times because I am missing my father. My coming here was indeed a great sacrifice for him, for we are very close. He is so good to me." Miss Aguinaldo is intensely patriotic. She does not conceal her resentment when she hears or reads of a misrepresentation of the Fillipinos. "It is unfortunate," she once exclaimed in a voice full of sadness, "that my country and my people are hardly known, much less understood, by the people of America." Politics is tabooed in any conversation with this Filipino mald. She evades the topic by replying that she is too young to express opinions on things political. "All I can say," she declares, "is that I share with my father in the desire for independence for my native land. There is no question about our being able to govern ourselves." Filipinos declare Miss Aguinaldo has a "genuine Filipina temperamat"—that is, she does not believe in the occidental custom of "dates" between young men and women. She does not see anything wrong in it, she says, but it is such a violent departure from the custom in the Philippines that she cannot adopt it. "You might laugh at me," she said, "but I cannot go out with one single escort unchaperoned. I simply can't. I will go back to my country with the soul of a Filipina." A newspaper in one of the large American cities that Miss Aguinaldo visited expressed the opinion that she would no doubt be greatly impressed by the sight of street cars and some of the fine residences she would see, but the truth is the young lady was raised in Manila, where she has seen an up-to-date street car system all her life.

RAFTIST TEMPLE MAKES LARGE PURCHASE Five Story Stone Fronts Star News Service. New York, Feb. 20—Within a short time three imposing five-story stonefront residences located at 160-24 West 129th street, will be razed to the ground and a new edifice will be erected and dedicated to God's worship. The purchase of this property entailing a matter of $30,000 is the successful result of a grand rally carried on by the members of the Baptist Temple, the Rev. Hucless, D.D., pastor. Aside from the urgent necessity for larger accommodations for his rapidly increasing congregation, this grand rally had its rare origin in the self-sacrifice and abugation of Pastor Hucless. On his 50th birthday the congregation had planned to give him a number of presents, which he declined, and expressed a desire for them to start a sinking fund to serve as a basis for raising money to build a church. This was done and a payment of nearly $10,000 has been made and possession will be had early in March. The property pays over $1,000 per month in rental. The pastor has been given a trip to Palm Beach and Havana as a reward for services. --- Some Special Bargains Some Special Bargains ELLIOTT & HOOKER 124 N. Greenwood St. MUSKOGEE NEWS NOTES.

Weaver, and Mrs Marie Jackson, principals of the four Muskogee Colored schools, attended the meeting of the principals of schools of the state held at Oklahoma City last Friday and Saturday. While there they enjoyed a pleasant visit to the schools of the Capital City. They have returned feeling gratified over the important work accomplished at the convention. The Mothers' Club held a highly successful meeting last Wednesday night at the Antioch Baptist church Two closely contested basket ball games were had last Friday night, between the two oteams of the Manual Training Department of the High School and the two teams from Sand Springs, Okla. The girl team from Sand Springs, thoroughly trained and athletically expert won out over our home girl team. It was left for the home boys' team to keep at least half of the bacon home, so they excelled the Sand Springs boys in every play and won. The visiting teams were given a pleasant reception and enjoyed their visit. , The M. T. H. S. boys' and girls' basket ball team are dated to play the Tulsa teams in Tulsa on February 24th. A victory for the home teams is confidently expected. The public school pupils for some weeks have been preparing under the direction of Mrs. L. C. Clark, music supervisor, and the teachers of the four schools, for the National Week of Song, which begins February 22 and ends on February 28. Owing to the loss of time through his attack of the "flu," Mrs. Clark has been delayed in putting on the Japanese operetta, Yokohama Maids, which the M. T. H. S. Glee Club has been preparing to produce for some weeks. A very important conference of local Colored republicans was held in the office of Att'y W. H. Twine last Sunday. A protest to the National Republican Campaign Committee was being prepared and it is probable that greater activity in political circles by local Republicans will start with this meeting.

Beggs, Oklahoma, Feb. 20.—Forty-five men and women of the underworld, both white and black, were arrested here Monday night and Tuesday in raids conducted under the personal leadership of Sheriff Henry S. Tucker of Okmulgee at the instigation of County Attorney L. A. Wallace, to whom representative citizens here of both races have recently complained. The prisoners were charged with a variety of crimes, including gambling, boot-legging, the illicit manufacture of whiskey and other offenses, including immorality. Citizens here claim that for several months it has been considered unsafe to be on the streets of Beggs after sun-down, due to the frequent hold-ups, and many homes have been entered by burglars and petty thieves at different times. Young white girls, it is claimed, coming from small near-by villages and other graduates of questionable districts of larger cities, who had been driven out, have been attracted here by the big wages paid oil field workrs. Sheriff Tucker has announced that he will no longer depend on the city police force to cope with the situation, but that he will station for permanent duty.

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.

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. SIXTH GRADE BOY WINS PRIZE Theodore Smitherman Takes First Place in Compition Cintest. The following composition under the title of "Digging Treasures" by Theodore Smitherman, a 6th grade pupil in the Dunbar school was declared the winner in a composition contest conducted among the 6th grade students of that school last week: "Once upon a time there were two boys who moved to a little place called Stony Hill. It happened that the parents it these boys moved to this place about the same time. Perhaps this is why they were so very friendly and attached to each other. They had not been there long before they heard the talk of hidden treasures below the forest. So they decided on the next Saturday to go and look for the treasure cave, and they were very glad when at last a free Saturday came. Early the next morning with provisions and tools they set out for the hidden treasures. Over the hills and through the woods they trudged until last they found the cave imbedded in a great cliff. "Now for the treasure hunt," said Jack as they found the cave. "Light the torch and we will go in," said Tcm. After the torch had been lighted they started in the great treasure cave. "We mustn't go too far Tom," said Jack. "That is true," said Tom, "we've gone far enough." "The two chumc had not dug long before they unearthed the long talked of treasure. "Hurrah!" shouted the two chums. "Now to make our parents happy!" After they had divided the jewels and money of all kinds between them, they were as true as their word. First of all they saw that their mothers had beautiful homes. That will at least make them happy, but they can never be repaid for their kindness to us when we were in our babyhood. My motto: Loyalty is the best policy, after all."

N. P. Service. New York, Feb. 20.—Dean William. Pickens, Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, discussing race discrimination in the pugilistic world, says: "Now and then we hear that some white champion has announced that he will refuse to give any Negro a chance at the title by refusing to contend with any Negro aspirant." Very often these very white men may have reached their eminence in their line largely thru the help of Colored men. This was true of Jas. J. Corbett and Jack Dempsey. Corbett first got a real chance to attract attention by boxing friendly rounds with Peter Jackson. And after Corbett became champion by knocking out Sullivan, who, by the way, had been really afraid to box Jackson, then Corbett consistently dodged Jackson—for plain reasons. And it was a Colored man who gave Jack Dempsey some of his best training to fight Willard. This Negro, while "showkind Dempsey how," almost knocked Dempsey out, so that the latter had to stop training for a week or so. BUT WHAT are we going to do about it when white men in any line will not give the Negro a chance at the honors? The Colored men should sift out their best contestant and this real champion of the the Colored world should challenge all comers, including the white champion. If this white champion refuse to accept a legitimate challenge he will $n_0$ linger be champion of the world, but will be merely the champion of the white race. The man who is willing to meet all comers will be the real champion of the world. Fair minded foreigners will so regard him, and history will so regard him. To accomplish this, the Colored people must never make the mistake of adopting the white man's error. They must never say that 'This is for Colored people only.' They must keep the door always open to MEN. While developing their champion they must invite all contestants of any race to take a hand. This will put principle and spirit on the side of the Negro, and will put the Negro on the side of Justice and God. Have you ever thought what a free chance the American Negro has to be the real democrat and the real man? The Negro can take his stall on principle every time. That is a fine opportunity. I have often that of the advantages of being a black man in America. If a black man wants to give his seat in a car to a lady, white or black, he can do so without apologies, and without looking around to see who is looking at him. If a Colored audience wants to listen to a white man speak the chairman never has to 'explain'. If a black man lifts his hat to white women, he doesn't have to feel at all 'cheap' and afraid of somebody else. And if a Negro wants to be a champion, he can be a real champion and not have to explain to future generators 'that—er—such and such a race was not considered' and that he was really the champion of a certain fraction of the white race.'

THE DEATH ANGEL seems to have been hovering over Tulsa the past two weeks, and a number of our good citizens have answered the last call. Peace be to their ashes—all of them. FATHER AND SON WEEK which ends to-day seems to have meant very little to the Colored "dad" and "sonny" in Tulsa, but we hope it is not because the Colored father feels less interest in his sons. TOO MANY of our young girls and boys are spending their time aimlessly, hence foolishly—likewise their money. Why not organize a club which would have for its purpose the improvement of our youths? THE DEMOCRATIC RALLY held by the Colored voters of Tulsa Tuesday night demonstrated the fact that Colored men in Tulsa are above the average as men of advanced thought and independent action. IT IS SAID that the Democrats of Tulsa county sent two Negroes to the state convention as delegates. That's better than the lily white Republican does—Muskogee Cimeter. It's better than the g. o. p did here, too, W. H.—Editor. THE SOUTH REMAINS consistent, hence the jewels, though fake, are hers. The members of Congress from the South have recently lined up solidly against universal military training. Only three Southern states have by legislative action ratified Woman's Suffrage. It requires no powerful steam shovel to unearth the fact that fear of the Negro, race hatred and prejudice are at the bottom of it all. Woman's Suffrage must and will carry, and the American Women not indebted to the South therefor, will amply pay some day. And on that day, the Negro will come preciously near into his own. IT IS NOT VERY OFTEN that the daily white newspapers give space to the worthy ambitions of our Race, nor speak in a commendable way of the things individuals of our group are trying to do for the elevation of our masses. In this connection it is worthy of more than passing notice—it merits special commendation—that The Daily Oklahoma published the following editorial last Sunday: There is no better solution for the race problem than the education of the Negroes along industrial lines in which they can find ample opportunity for useful employment. There are opportunities enough of that sort, if the negroes are trained and directed to them. In agricultural work and various mechanical trades they can help themselves and the state. And industry and good behavior profit the black man as they do the white. The negro who realizes the importance and advantage of useful toil isn't apt to become a problem. Instead, he becomes a useful and respected citizen of his community, and has small occasion to feel downtrodden. In the new State A. & M. College at Bookertee, Okla., an honest effort is being made to supply such training to the negroes. The school has an enrollment of 200, and an average attendance of 150. It trains students in agriculture, trades and mining. It is a somewhat struggling institution, without direct support from the state, but is sending out men and women whowill improve the standard of their race. It is the hope of its president, John C. Leftwich, that the school will ultimately be taken over by the state and the work so ably begun be expanded and continued. But, without waiting for any legislative action, he seeks to . . . pand it and increase its usefulness by his own efforts and the support of the people of the state. It is his aim to secure twenty students from each county in the state having Negro population, and so educate them that they will return to their counties to help others by example and precept. It is a worthy aim, and deserves encouragement. To serve such a student body, the school must increase its plant. To that end, the president is seeking to raise $25,000 to complete an administration building this year. Those who give will be helping the Negroes in the best way—by teaching them to help themselves. The record of the school is evidence of its merit and the good faith of those in charge. Indirectly it will benefit the whole population; for it is a part of the plan for better citizenship, for which all with the interests of the state at heart are striving. THE FOLLOWING EDITORIAL was published in Wednesday's issue of one of our local white dailies. It is from the pen of a fair-minded, justice-loving, big-hearted American, so much needed and yet so seldom found on the staff of our influential daily newspapers. This spirit is indicative of the sentiment prevailing among the better citizens of Tulsa—white and black—and accounts for the splendid cordial relations existing between the races here. Read it. The excuses usually given for lynching are the law's delay and doubtfulness of obtaining justice by legal processes. That excuse certainly did not apply in the attempted lynching at Lexington, Ky., which had such tragic results for the mob. The crim was committed on th morning of Fb. 3. The criminal was arrested the same evening, indicted on Feb 6 and brought to trial on Feb. 9. This was the most rapid procedure ever known in a Kentucky murder case. The authorities had acted quickly for the express purpose of giving an object lesson in the possibility of swift justice, and providing no pretext for lawlessness. The mob formed just the same, and made its attack on the court house after the trial had actually begun. It was a trial of whose outcome there could be no conceivable doubt in the mind of any man in that crowd. The whole trial, including the verdict and the sentence of death, was a matter of minutes. The attack began as the jury was pronouncing the prisoner guilty of first degree murder. Thus were shown with striking clearness the customary characteristic of a lynching party—the unreason, the cowardice and the bloodthirstiness that make up the spirit of such a mob. If the State of Kentucky was disgraced by that mob, it was also edenced by the governor and sheiff and their subodinates who by their prompt, courageous action vindicated the dignity of the law and the authority of the commonwealth. It is unfortunate that it was necessary to kill and wound in order to stop the would-be lynchers, but it was right to shoot, and it taught a stern lesson that may save many lives and much shame hereafter.—Tulsa Tribune By a vote of 106 to 17 the Democratic caucus of the House of Representatives at Washington disregarded the advice of President Wilson and made opposition to universal military training the party creed.

Republicans have been clever enough to keep their disagreement under cover, but the minority, made up mostly of Southerners and dominated as usual by parochial leaders has gone boldly on record without regard to consequences. Thus the policy of a great party is determined once more by the color line. Because the South wanted to deprive the Negro of strong drink, Democratic doctrine has been repudiated and our system of government revolutionized by nation wide prohibition. Because the South objects to the training of the Negro, the Democratic party is made responsible for a premature and unrepresentative declaration which will most evertainly be used to its disadvantage. Statesmanship that never rises above a purpose to subjugate a race is of a poor order and accounts for most of the deficiencies of the Democratic party today. The political alignment which makes Democratic representation in Congress almost wholly Southern, although Northern Democrats constitute a vast majority of the voters, would be bad enough if it were merely sectional. When it has no inspiration but hostility to the Negro, no aim but to keep him down, no principles that he cannot frighten into abeyance and no sense of right or justice that remembrance of him does not instantly stifle, the situation becomes insufferable. No true Democratic party can be officiered in this fashion and live.—New York World.

THE TULSA STAR, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1920 DYER APPPOINTS NEGRO WEST POINT CANDIDATE R. A. Jackson, Son of Former Slave To Try For Academy. Star News Service. St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 20—Richard A. Jackson, a Negro, 19 years old. of 321 South Leffingwell avenue, received notification yesterday from Congressman L. C.

And the Chinese malden, as the steps over its high sill, may spread wide her arms and still not touch its rim with the tips of her fingers. Sometimes across the court yard is another moon door, and beyond it, like a smaller concentric circle, still another, leading on through that Chinese puzzle of a house, the "gungwan" or official residence at Nanking, China, which is now the home of Ginling College for Chinese girls—one of the three women's colleges in all China.

One pushes ajar the halves of a moon door, latticed over paper in plum blossom and honeycomb design, and enters a chemical laboratory set up in a room with 20 windows, each framed in dragon tracery. And from the flagstones of the laboratory floor, often is scraped fungi and mould for use under the microscope. These are typical contrasts of Ginling College, revealed through the survey of the Chinese field now being made by the Interchurch World Movement, which seeks to promote the closer co-operation of Protestant Churches of America in attaining their world aims. Ginling College the survey shows. is at the heart of five Chinese provinces with a total population of 110,000,000—and is the only woman's college in that great area. Yet its capacity to receive young Chinese girls is limited by the capacity of the old "gung gwan," rented since the beginning of the institution, four years ago * Fund of $500,000. Ginling owns 37 acres of land on the hills beside the Yangtze river. In the Interchurch World Movement survey of China, there is a budget item of $500,000. It is there to show the Churches of America how they can place upon that land on the hill the library, administration building, reclamation buildings, chapel—all that are needed for a modern college. Unless the fund is available by 1921, many young women of China seeking college educations must be denied admission to Ginling, because the old "gung-gwan" is too small. SOUND BUSINESS BASIS FOR CHURCH SOUND BUSINESS BASIS FOR CHURCH Interchurch World Movement Natural Growth of Tendency to Eliminate Waste. AVOIDS USELESS COMPETITION Religious Financiering Revolutionized by Success of Men and Millions Movement and Cooperation Is Result. The Interchurch World Movement of North America is an attempt by forward-looking leaders of the various evangelical denominations of the United States and Canada to co-ordinate the resources in men, money and material of Protestant America. Historical'y it is the logical outgrowth of a tendency of the national boards in each denomination to form working alliances among themselves, in which each board shall preserve its identity and control its own personnel and treasury. In former times, the home mission society, the foreign mission society, the church extension society and the various philanthropic and elemen- nary agencies of any denomination conducted their affairs independently of one another. Each surveyed its own restricted territory, prepared a budget of money and workers for its own purposes and made its own appeal to its constituency for support. This could only mean that these agencies were more or less in competition with one another; that there were waste and duplication of work and money, and that among them all some work was neglected and some denominational resources were entirely overlooked. Because of their specialized training, the leaders of each agency regarded themselves as peculiarly fitted for their tasks, and jealously regarded attempts at outside interference. Decide on Experiment. After decades of such haphazard methods, the leaders of one denomination decided on an experiment. They thought it would be possible for the agencies to get together for a common study of all the opportunities and resources of their brotherhood, to make out a unified budget of men and money, and to conduct a concerted appeal for funds. It was made clear that each constituent board should preserve complete autonomy. When the board representatives met they found it possible to eliminate a great amount of organization expenses. They ultimately worked out a budget and plan of campaign that was satisfactory to all. This resulted in the famous "Men and Millions Movement" of the Disciples of Christ, which brought in what was then considered the staggering sum of $6,300,000 for a five-year program. The success of this enterprise revolutionized the whole business of church financiering. The other great denominations immediately adopted the plan. The denominational associations have come to be known as "forward movements," and some thirty of them are in existence today. Each one has clarified all the information in relation to enterprise within the denomination, and has reduced the business of collecting and spending money to a science. World-Budget Formed. The Interchurch World Movement is simply a plan to do interdenominationally what the forward movements have done within the various communions. It means that every denominational budget will be made in the light of world needs instead of in the semi-obscurity of incomplete information. It means that contributions to one denomination will not be in wasteful competition with contributions to another, because all the fellowships will have worked out their program together. The functions of the Interchurch World Movement are threefold. First, it collects, by means of world surveys, all the pertinent facts on which denominational programs may be built. Second, it sets up the practical machinery of co-operation. Third, it acts in an advisory capacity whenever its advice is requested. The Movement has nothing to do with organic church union or matters of creed or doctrine. Each constituent unit preserves complete autonomy, and is bound only so far as it wishes to be bound. Financial appeals are made by each denomination to its own constituency. Any surplus in undesignated funds, over and above the actual cost of administration will be prorated among the denominations engaged in a given financial undertaking. An illustration of one thing- the Movement can do is to be found in a western community of 1,600 persons in which thirteen denominations have been supporting separate churches with missionary funds, while an adjacent territory of 50,000 persons has only three churches. By seeing that all missionary boards are supplied with information in such cases, the Movement will make possible a wiser distribution of funds. Its first goals are to reduce unnecessary duplication and overlapping to a minimum and to bring about an intelligent division of labor in unoccupied fields. The Movement is at bottom, an attempt to put church business on the sound, business-like foundations on which the great commercial institutions of America are built By DR. JOHN R. MOTT PETER H. DR. JOHN R. MOTT Chairman Executive Committee Inter DR. JOHN R. MOTT Chairman Executive Committee Interchurch World Movement. This is the moment of moments for us to find our unity, our spiritual solidarity, without sacrificing our diversity and that which is most distinctive to each of our communions and which, by the way, is the choicest possession we have. The reason why we of each denomination most value that which is distinctive to us is not simply because it is ours, but because we honestly believe it is the truth. It is our choicest possession. Without sacrificing our listinctiveness we want to realize our unity and solidarity as we gather round the figure of our Lord with open minds, responsive hearts and, I would say, hair-trigger wings—by that I mean wills that are eager to leap into action when we see a clear path. MINISTERS COST LESS THAN AUTOS World Survey Figures Reveal How Badly United States is Paying Its Pastors. MANY LIVING ON $600 A YEAR What are the chances of a young man who intends to be a lawyer of making $3,000 a year? What are the doctors chances? What of the minister or the manufacturer? The lawyer has exactly one chance in five. The doctor's chances are one in seven. It is ten to one against the manufacturer. The modern minister, however, who formerly ranked with the doctor and lawyer as a member of the "learned professions," has fallen hopelessly behind. He is a 100 to 1 shot. These figures are part of a mass of astonishing facts brought to light by the world survey being made by the interchurch World Movement and whose sources of information are such that many economists and statistians are availing themselves of the results. This survey puts America's minister at the bottom of the ladder of the nation's income receivers—and with responsibilities which equal those of any captain of industry. A worker in a silk mill, a laborer in a rubber plant, a paper maker, a worker in a shoe factory—all are getting higher average wages, the survey shows, than does America's minister, city or country. Nor does the city man receive the luxurious salary that many persons, including many country parsons, believe he does. Not four ministers in a thousand, according to the survey, receive $5,000 a year. In no instance, whatever the denomination, does a majority receive $1,000. Cotton Pickers Better Off. Are you a Congregationalist? In 2,783 churches the yearly pay to your ministers has been less than $1,000. Are you a Presbyterian? You are then on the less than $1,000 list with 6,415 ministers. In the event that you are a Methodist the charge is that 4,719 pastors are trying to exist on the $20 a week that you pay them. Episcopalians do a little better, yet half of their rectors receive less than the $1,500 a year which government economists regard as the minimum on which a family can be decently maintained One of the aims of the present cooperation of the world's Protestant denominations is to and this disgrace of the underpaid minister. With universities, business houses and municipalities daily taking action to provide the comfort of their workers, the church is to keep pace with the times, and to arrange not only for adequate pay for its workers, but to provide pensions for those no longer able to work. It is to move the public to prevent unfavorable comparison of pastors and puddlers. Until then, as for a puddler swapping jobs with a pastor drawing an "ordinary" salary—never! The lowest salary paid to pastors is lower than any wages paid in the entire steel industry.
