CAMPAIGN THUNDER NIPPED IN BUD. Republican Attorney Presents Alibi For Failure to Back up Gambling Charges. Police officials Thursday were in misquoted. He stated that what he said before the republican meeting was that he had been advised there were 27 wide open gambling halls in town and that if such was the case some action should be taken to close quest of some good republican citizen who could supply information relative to the whereabouts of 27 "wide open gambling halls" operating in Tulsa. At a late hour in the afternoon they had been unsuccessful. "It looks like a hopeless task" Capt. L. W. Gewley said, "we have made honest efforts and we have failed to find even a trace of a wide open gambling hall. Hoping to gain some sort of information I called upon Attorney Frank Duncan asking him if he cared to supply us with the information.

Several years ago there were nearly ten two and three storied handsome brick and stone business houses owned by members of our Race. Owing to misfortune on the part of some owners and a desire to profit on the part % of others, nearly half these buildings passed under control of the other race. Then the pendulum began to swing back again through the purchase of the hotel and business block at the corner of Second and Columbus by the guardian of a rich Negro minor.

The republicans of the city met in the court house Tuesday night and erected the usual gigantic platform, hewed from old reform material so often used before, such as: "Law enforcement, rigid and uncompromising, ridding the city of gnobling joints, bootlegging dives and other places of vice, and especially directed against automobile thieves. Application of the merit system in the police department and all other departments of the city government. Honest and wise expenditure of funds for the securing of puce water for Tulsa under the supervision of an advisory board of seven members selected by the civic clubs and welfare organizations of the city. Efficient inspection and correction of sanitary conditions. Enforcement of franchises held by all public service corporations. Increased salaries for teachers and adequate school buildings.

JACKSON, Miss., Feb. 28.—While Lenine and Trotsky are seeking to array the dark races of India and the Orient against the white races, especially England, the state of Mississippi by a recent ruling of its State's Attorney classifying Chinese children as Negroes, has given concrete evidence of the prevalent opinion in foreign countries that Americans place all dark races in same catagory. Attorney General Frank Robertson of this state has ruled that Chinese children in Mississippi cannot attend school with white children. If they desire to attend public school they will be cooppelled to attend schools established for Colored children. This puts a new curve in the well-known color line and is getting considerable comment thru out the state as well as other sections of the South. There are a number of whites who have great fears thru out the country of such ruling because of the effect it will have on the "colored peoples, thru out the world, particularly, during the recent years of preaching democracy justice and hur an rights. The Japanese, Mexicans, Philipines, and inhabitants of India and other sections of the world are concerned in the effect of this phase of autocracy.

Gen. Harrison As to the question of the stabtiity of government, I wish to say to the Am ericun people upon my responsibility as the governor-general that in_ my opinion there exist today In the Phil Ippine Islands a stable government, which T think should answer the re quirements Ind down by Presidents Grant and McKinley, and as 1 under. stand it, also by Mr. Root—namely, a government elected by the suffrage of the people, which Is supported by the people, which Is capable of maintain- ing order and of fullllling {ts interns- tlonal obligations, Tam very glad to go on record as be- ing entirely in sympatiy with the us: pirutions of the Filipino nation for in- dependence, T have recommended to Congress that In granting Independence some provision be made similar to what is known as the Platt amendment in the treaty with Cuba, which restricts the ability of the new republic In borrow: ing of foreign governments and also permits the United States to interfera with the affairs of the new republic In case conditions of disorder should be found to prevail. Such recommenda: thon does not come as an expression of the views of the Filipinos; it ty my own view of what would be desirable to securo a feeling of confidence and satisfaction on the part of all persons who have already Invested money {p the Philippines or who contemplate do- ing s0 in the near future, But ft 1s not right that Independence Atself should longer be delayed, By temperament, by experience, b3 financial ability, in every way, the 11,000,000 Filipinos are entitled te be free from overy government excep of their own chotce, They are Intelll gent enough to decide for themselves.

Was there more free- dim in America for what this man had done? More tolerance? More friendship between man snd man, Were John Brown to walk among men again he would hear the shrieks of the tortured victims 01 white mobs, would learn of the de- nial of civil rights to a people legal ly free, would doubt, perhaps, 1! y | WAR!

Neither he, the Grand Army of the Repubiie, nor Abrahan Lincoln have made one black» man white, John Brown standing by his rock in 1920 would see substantially what John Brown saw in 1859, The contours of the mountains and val- leys have not altered; the changes of the weather and the seasons are the same, If they drove a man_ to div for human right in 1859 they would drive him to die for it in 1920. But whom would he attack? In 1859 he fought to alter a bad law, but in 1920 his task would be more difficult; he would have to change the hearts of men, a miracle which is no more possible with the mod- erp machine gun than it was with Sharp’s rifle of the fifties. Would he not be compelled to admit. that Abraham the politician, the racon- tear, the statesman whe forgave his enemies and used them to forward his own purposes, was the nearer to final truth? Or would he still con- tend despite his added wisdom, thet it is an excellent thing to die for human liberty, even mistakenly? There are other views of nature that those held by John Brown, ‘These mountains about his burral place may stand, not for eternal jas- lice, but for eternal indifference, or for a supremely tragic irony.

Star News Service New York, Feb. 27.—William Harrison, a Colored man, homeless and penniless, was taken from one of the sub-way stations where he had been finding refuge from the wintro's severest blizzards, by a police-man who arrested him on a charge of vagrancy. Harrison, who had been a member of New York's pride regiment, the Fighting 15th, had been using the armory of this regiment for shelter until it was ordered closed on account of the "fiu" epidemic. Without money, he had to seek shelter elsewhere and had gone where the police found him in the sub-way station. Harrison was taken before Magistrate Simpson for trial, which turned out most fortunate for him. He had claimed to be a member of the 15th N. N. Regiment and to have been honorably discharged after heroic service in a number of battles over n France and investigation of his claims by probation officer Blumberg proved the truth of his story. It happened that Magistrate Simpson had been interested in the organization of the 15th Regiment and his sympathy at once went out to Harrison in a time of great distress and worry. The kind hearted Magistrate surprised Harrison when he said: "I am especially interested in your case, as I am the father of the 15th Regiment. Harrison, you have a record to be proud of. Many a man would give a fortune to possess it." Harrison was of course discharged after a purse of five dollars had been raised for him. And thus the greatest country on earth treats one of her sons who had fought in several fierce battles and who had been three times gassed. And this is the way New York rewards one of the members of her pride regiment. Mr. J. T. Wright, owner of the J T Wright Coal and Mining Company of Tulsa, an expert coal miner with 35 years experience, favored the Star office with a large job of printing for his company this week.

PAGE SEVEN NEW ERA IN EDUCATION Marked Progress Shown by General Educational Board in Negro School. (Star News Service.) NEW YORK, Feb. 28—Educational progress in the South is reviewed in the second instalment of the General Education Board's annual report issued yesterday. The board laid out its programme at conferences with State superintendents, rural school ayents, agents for 1-4 gro schools and professors of secondary education at Baltimore and Old Point Comfort last April. By the end of the year various changes for improvements on the schools had been made in most of the Southern States, mainly by means of increased taxes or specific legislation for their benefit. State School Commissions were appointed, County School Boards were chosen at annual elections, transportation was provided for children and homes for teachers; a new normal school for the training of negro teachers and a State university for negroes were established in Georgia; bonds were issued for school buildings, physical exercise was cultivated, a college was started for women in Mississippi, summer schools were started, and compulsory education laws were passed, embracing all children between the ages of seven and fourteen, with two years added for children unemployed after the age of fourteen. Mr. Steve Richard, one of our taxi me, favored the office with printing this week.

Help make the w yourself. Don't wait for your new THE TULSA STAR stands for What do YOU stand for? Under this head yesterday's issue of the Tulsa World published a lengthy editorial marveling that a 'Democratic Colored Club under the patronage of a Colored Democratic newspaper' should dispense "absolution to a Democratic administration." The editorial was occasioned by an article that appeared in last week's issue of the Star relative to the meeting last week of the Colored Democratic Club of this city. The writer of the editorial cunningly sought to make capital of the fact that the Mayor of Tulsa and his secretary did not consider themselves above appearing before this club—not as the World stated, but to express his appreciation for its endorsement which had already been given. "But that spectacle," said the World, "is neither more surprising, nor amusing than to see a Democratic official who is seeking re-election, appearing both by proxy and in person before a black tribunal of sovereign voters and from such authority soliciting the favor of political approval and absolution. "We say such a spectacle is strange indeed to those of us who came through the first campaigns in the imperial commonwealth of Oklahoma, which were won by a triumphant democracy led by statesmen who vociferously and to thunderous applause enunciated the doctrine that the "nigger has no rights except to black my boots in the case of the gentleman who aspire!" to the United States Senate; and wrote into their platforms the solemn pledge later redeemed let it be said in all candor, to segregate, disfranchise and ignore their ex-slaves and their descendants. "We appear in this matter not to criticise, not to point a moral, but to marvel. And to plaud the cunning of the Colored politicians who saw the certainty of not only gaining the franchise and a voice in the direction of affairs, but more than a modicum of subserviency from their enemy, by the mere and easy subterfuge of changing their party allegiance! "What, we mean to say is that we can follow the philosophy of the Colored statesmen, but find it exceedingly difficult to trace the thread of consistency in the action of the Democratic candidates or to account for an Oklahoma clientele that will condone it. "Politics indeed make strange bedfellows. But who, we ask in all sincerity, ever imagined the day when representatives of the "white man's party in Oklahoma" would covertly seek a common political bed with their Colored compatriots? "Verily, 'the world do move.' And a rapt admiration for the established fact that Oklahoma moves with it, we pause to pay a belated tribute to the growing democracy of both the Democratic party and the Afro-American voter of Oklahoma! The race war of Haskell's era has been happily concluded by an armistice." The editor of the Tulsa World is not the only one who can recall reminiscences of the early political campaigns in Oklahoma. We also recall those days and the antics of some of our beloved republican friends. We have not forgotten how "Lilly White" republicans of those days joined hands with the radical, narrow minded democrats and swatted the Negro a solar plexus blow from which he has not yet fully recovered. We have not forgotten, and doubtless the editor of the Tulsa World may recall, the backhand, double crossing deal this class of republicans and democrats pulled off in the Statehood Convention deal in order to side track their black brother. Nor have we forgotten that when the late "Grandfather Clause" was initiated, the largest republican county in the state, (Muskogee, returned a greater number of votes than any other county in the stats in favor of this law. We also remember when two faithful Colored republicans of Muskogee ran for the state legislature on the republican ticket; when the Republican Central Committee had printed large posters and had them tacked up in every precinct in that county advising the voters to "Vote for White Men," and referring to these Colored men as "Niggers." All of this, and more, we remember about early campaigns in Oklahoma, and to our white republican friends who also recall those times, it should not seem such a strange thing, after all, that black men are capable a thinking and acting for themselves, and that they are beginning to play the game of politics according to Hoyle. The black man has learned that he has many good, sincere friends in the democratic party and he is not altogether unmindful of his pretentious, deceitful "friends" in the republican party. The average white man seems to think that the natural place for his black brother is in the republican party. There was a time when all Colored men were republicans, but those days have passed and henceforth the black man will be found in all the political parties, fighting like Trojans to sustain the best principles of public probity and human justice vouchered or by these various parties, and when we go to the voting booths we will not forget to remember our friends and scratch h—1 out of the fellows who do not believe in giving us a square deal, regardless of their political complexion. PATTING US ON THE BACK and giving us h—1 when we are not around, is the sort of practice that has taken hold of many of our so-called friends. But remember, we do not suffer by this practice near as much as YOU. THE MAN OR WOMAN of our Race who reads white papers exclusively are enemies to their own children. Every Colored home should have several Negro newspapers connaming to them regularly regardless as to how insignificant YOU may think they are THAT MEMBER of our Race who is giving employment to our own people is doing much towards helping in the task of "toning up" our citizenship. "Wind Jammers" who talk much and do little or nothing to advance our standard as citizens, are mill-stones about our necks and should be dealt with accordingly. IF WE ALL COULD SEE our own shortcomings as easily as we see our neighbor's, and profit by doing as we say our neighbors should do, it would not be long before this old world would be a much better place to live in. Help make the world better by starting to be better yourself. Don't wait for your neighbor to make the start. THE TULSA STAR stands for the Race and true Democracy—What do YOU stand for?

SOLICITED THE TULSA, STAR, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1920 The Scare Crow of Negro Domination Fails to Frighten Him. (Star News Service.) MUSKOGEE, Feb. 28. In a recent address on the floor of the House of Representatives, the Hon. Scott Ferris, candidate for the Oklahoma senatorial toga, placed himself squarely in favor of the enfranchisement of American women. Despite the efforts of many of his colleagues from the South, Mr. Ferris declared himself free of any fear of Negro domination in the Southland, because Negro women as well as white women would be granted the privilege of voting. In discussing this phase, Mr. Ferris expressed the belief that the same methods now in vogue in that section to deter Negro men from voting would apply with equal efficacy in the case of women of that race. The methods to which he referred are "educational tests", "poll tax", and "mandhafer clause". While we congratulate our Congressman for evidencing a breadth of vision indicative of requisite statesmanship for the higher position to which he aspires, it may be well to observe here that both Negro men and women are today prepared to meet the tests prescribed in the South better than ever before, and have no fear of them, if impartially executed. It is a matter of fact, that there are many thousands of Colored men and women South of Mason and Dixon-line who are more than well fitted to pass any educational test. who are also financially able to pay the poll tax. The "grandfather" test exacting that an ancestor of a Negro must have voted prior to a certain prescribed year is not particularly a stumbling block. It is well known that for over fifty years the white male constituents of the Southern Congressmen who solidly opposed Woman's Suffrage, have been working overtime in providing present day Negro youth with white great-grandfathers, grand fathers and fathers, and all of these have been and are citizens and voters. The eloquent address of Mr. Ferris is illustrated by the following extracts: Mr. Speaker: If there were in-fact danger of negro domination or if this amendment would contribute to it I, too, would feel apprehensive, for I have no disposition to inflict on that great southern country legislation that is obnoxious to them, offensive to them, or anything for which there is no adequate solution. Bu I pause and ask them now what is the answer to the question that the same educational test that now prevents the ignorant male voter, both white and black from exercising the right of suffrage will at the same time deny the ignorant female voter the right? What is the answer to the question that the same poll-tax law that now largely prevents the ignorant male from voting will likewise prevent the ignorant female from voting? What is the answer to the statement that for every negro woman so enfranchised they will be hundreds and thousands of intelligent white women enfranchised? I can not share the doubts and forebodings of my friends from the North or South who are to-day opposing suffrage. I can not think either their doubts or their fears are well founded. (Applause.) "No, Mr. Speaker, this question today is a great national issue—one involving the rights of our mothers, our wives, our daughters, our women. It will never be settled until it is settled right. Most of them have asked it with upturned face, feeling that it would benefit them, would help them, ennoble them, and strengthen them. It is ours to give or withhold. For me and mine, I am in favor of giving it to them ungrudgingly—first, because I believe it is right; second, because I find no sound or satisfying argument, logic, or reason that would justify a course in opposition to it; third, in substance, in truth, and in fact, the four great political platforms of the last election promised equal suffrage to women as to men." NEGRO TO CHANGE GREATLY IN FUTURE "Face Bleach" and "Hair Straightener" Unnecessary 2000 Years Hence. (Star News Service.) NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—The study of pre-historic and historic man is always interesting to the thoughtful, Anthropologists, who have made the study of man their life's work, have written volumes on the changes man has experienced in his evolution on account of his environment. The late explorer Peary thro his journey to the North Pole and Livingston Convention Hall FRIDAY NIGHT, MAR. 5th Prices $2, $1.50, $1, 75c, 50c from his African travels have given the world much to thinkand talk about. And now comes a scientist who brushes aside the veil of future and describes the American peoples of 2000 years hence. Concerning the American Negro in that day, he says: The Afro-American is showing the effects of the gradual conversion of all Americans to the Indian type more distinctly than the Caucasian. The American negro of today is no more like the typical slave of sixty years ago than a Kiefer pear tree is like the scrubby little bush that grew sandpears in Arabia ninety years ago before a Pennsylvania Dutchman brought some roots to this country and did a little Burbanking. The Negro of today has not the extremely thick lips, flat nose, retreating forehead and "jaybird heel" of his grandfather. He is being Indianized even more rapidly than the white man. His nose is becoming more nearly Roman; his cheekbones are rising; he is developing a calf to his leg (something the African races never have had) and his hair is getting straight. A good deal of the credit for the straightening of the Negro's hair is given to the manufacturer -of certain unguents, but as a matter of fact the kink is naturally disappearing from the American black man's hair. If the progress continues in that direction 500 years longer as fast as it has since slavery days, the one-time African will have as straight locks as any white man.

"I stand for the ROOSEVELTIAN SQUARE DEAL; the application of the principles of Americanism in our government; upholding the Constitution. and the enforcement of Law and Order. In other words, America must be made safe for Americans." Republican Leader Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the popular British autho; and creator of Sherlock Holmes uectures that it is. Did you ever sit down quietly alone and think of some one and shortly the one that you were thinking of would either call you over the phone or would walk in? Science has proved beyond a doubt that Mental Telepathy and Thought Transference are possible. One of the latest converts to this new Science or Cult is Robert Conness one of the most popular mem- bers of the Movie Actors Colony at Hollywood, Cal. He has gone in for it to such an extent that he used it in the plot of his latest super feature, "The Witching Hour" which is to be shown at the Dreamland Theatre on Saturday February 28th in the afternoon and night. This is the same identical picture that caused so much comment in the East. Mrs. Williams is to be congratulated for having secured this wonderful production that comes to the Dreamland so highly commended by both pulpit and the press—Ady
