Colored Feminine Sex Make in Politics---Ma Interest in Re TULSA COLORED WOMEN REGISTERS AS DEMOCRATS Our Leading Intelligent Colored Women Unusually Interested in Registration Star News Service, TULSA, Mar. 5. —The Tulsa Star is reliably informed that hundreds of Tulsa's Colored women—citizens now, thank you—all through the Negro section of the city, have shown a wide-awake and lively interest in the new duty of registering as qualified voters in compliance with the Oklahoma law. Up to last Wednesday more than two hundred names had been enrolled and certificates issued bearing for first time in our history the names of Colored women as bona fide voters. The registration if kept up at some rate for the remaining days set aside for that purpose will probably increase this number to six or seven hundred. One of the most remarkable features connected with this enrollment is that ninety percent of these Colored women are registering as Democrats. We say this is most remarkable but it is also most proper. Colored women as well as white women are indebted to the Democratic party for their enfranchisement. The national amendment granting suffrage to wo- HAS A GOOD WORD TO ABOUT MAYOR HUBBARD F. R. Williams Asks the Race to Rally to Tulsa's Popular Mayor In writing this article, I was prompted by a spirit to help, in my feeble way, reelect a man who has made Tulsa the best mayor in the history of our city. While our present mayor, Hon. C. H. Hubbard, was on his sick bed in Kansas City, our Race in the East End rallied to his support and helped to elect him; at that time they did not know him, and the Colored Race has found in him a friend—a man who has been fair with us. He has given our people more recognition, and though hampered by the scarcity of funds, has done much for this section of our wonderful city. Mayor Hubbard is not only making an efficient mayor, but possesses the ability and every requirement to be, and likely will be governor of the man ran into the home of our great commonwealth. His policy has been to treat all citizens square, and you can always tell exactly how he stands on all issues, and I feel confident that he will be re-nominated, evidently he will be elected, and he can certainly depend on the Colored Race of Tulsa, regardless of party affiliations, as we are going to help retail na man of Mayor Hubbard's calibre in office. Now, since my affiliation with the Democratic party, in Tulsa, I have never asked the campaign committee for one cent, nor have they offered me a cent, but I believe in striving for the best interest of Tulsa and in espousing the course of the present mayor I do so because I believe he is the proper man to be at the hea do this city. I believe in a square deal for all and especially do I trust that our people will look on this chivalrous white man as I do. The poorest Colored man in our city is received by the mayor at his office with the same cordiality as the richest man in the city. In fact, he is a firm believer in all men up. There are a few of us who have, at times, tried to censure the administration for not paving certain secitons, but when our people are ask to sign up for said paving the majority refuse. The city is without funds for paving and taking into consideration the high price for material, etc., the property owners have not felt TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, MARCH, 6, 1920. men was approved by the last democratic congress and submitted to the states for ratification. While the requisite number of states, thirty-six, may not have been reached and ratification made complete, the democracy of Oklahoma through the action of the legislature last week in endorsing women suffrage, has chivalrously done its port. There is no occasion for oor numerous intelligent Colored women to permit the proper spirit of gratefulness for obtaining this great privilege of citizenship to estray from where it justly belongs. Women suffrage has had the advocacy and support of all the clear headed and broad minded leaders of democracy all over the country. Our Oklahoma women should consider that it butters no parsnips for that republican Illinois ratified this measure, and also it burns no cabbage for them that democratic Mississippi was unchivalric enough to oppose it. Let us remember we are all here for a brief span of life and all our joys and troubles are Oklahoma joys and troubles. We can only increase the 'former and diminish the latter thro' those Oklahoma friends and agencies whose past and present actions are indicative of a kindly interest in our progress and welfare. like shouldering the burden, hence no paving. It behooves every true citizen to do his bit in helping to keep such a man in the major's chair, and when you use your influence and work for such an unbiased man, you do yourself an honor. Now, if you are my friends, support Mr. Hubbard. Yours, F. R. WILIAMS. COLORED GIRL WINS LAURELS AS NURSE Miss H. A. Towler is Making a Successful Fight on Consumption Star News Service. MUSKOGEE, March 5.—Miss H. A. Towler is winning many laurels for herself on account of her highly efficient services as anti-tuberculosis nurse in this city she is working under the Muskogee branch of the National Anti-Tuberculosis Association, and has to her credit honorable and respectful complimentary mention in the columns of the Daily Phoenix. She has now enrolled 118 patients, most of whom are in the incipient stages of consumption. Among the attentions, Miss Towler must give to these patients are: to give first aid and instructions relative to preventing the spread of the scourge and bed-side care when needed. She is also doing important school work by instructing parents as to proper care of children who are physically below par. Her field is not confined to Muskogee, as recently she and the Muskogee white nurse went over to Braggs, and gave bedside care and instructions in a tuberculosis case. A dispensary is being fitted up for the Muskogee Nurse and Miss Towler near the Severs Hotel, where patients will receive instructions and medical aid. It is said Miss Towler will be soon furnished a Ford roadster in order to facilitate her work. This young lady possesses a most pleasing and affable personality. She has had the best training and experience and is admirably equipped for her work. Miss Towler is a graduate of Provident Hospital, Chicago, and also of Northwestern University in Infant Welfare. She also completed prescribed course at Chi-Lying In Hospital. Since graduating she has passed Illinois state board of examiners and served as supervising nurse at Provident Hospital. Mrs. Myrtle McKeener, wife of Dr. J. J. McKeener is reported ill. Weekly Mail Edition TRAINING WITH NEGROES Tennessee White Republicans Back Up When Bob Church Makes Demands Star News Service. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Mar. 5.—Republicans of Shelby county are preparing to stage a political fight in their state confession in April that promises to make the famous contest of a few years ago, when Newell Sanders had his coat torn from his back—and lost his gold watch to boot—look like a sideshow. Those Shelby Republicans who are led by Chas. B. Quinn, Harry O. True, John W. Farley, W. H. Barker, John Q. Eaton and others, who have been prominent in Republican state politics for years, are going to the Chattanooga convention on April 14, with the avowed purpose of making a straight fight for making the Republican party in Tennessee a white man's party. They are tired of training with the Negroes they say. They realize that so long as the Negro element is permitted to figure in the party councils they cannot hope to attract many voters to the Republican cause unless they are mere office seekers. "I have done as much for the Negroes of Memphis and the state as any man," said Mr. Quinn Friday. "But when it comes to a point where a Negro can come to me and make demands for party recognition in the way of appointment to important committees, or as a delegate from this state to a national convention, I'm through." Mr. Quinn referred to occurrences two years ago, when he was thinking of making the race fo, mayor of Memphis, and when it is said Bob Church made such demands that Quinn, although a good church member, told him emphatically what he could do or where he could go. Other Republicans of Memphis, who are men of standing in the community, have long felt the same way. Many of them have refused to have anything to do with local or state politics on that account, merely voting for Republican presidential electors every four years. Rough Road to Travel What luck these gentlemen will have when their delegation reaches the state convention remains to be seen. Bob Church happens to be a member of the state committee which will pass upon their credentials as delegates. He was also named high up on the list by Will Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee, of the sub-committee to draft the next Republican national platform for the 1920 campaign. They will have the support of Ben W. Hooper, once governor of Tennessee see, who swings considerable influence in his party councils, and of Newell Sanders, former United State senator, by Gov. Hooper's appointment. But Sanders seems to have lost his grip on the party organization, which has gotten into the hands of Jesse Littleton, John C. Houck and others who always opposed Sanders. The wing of the party in this country which is led by the gentlemen named above, will hold its county convention for the selecting of delegates to the state convention on March 6. They intend to appoint the most representative men in their local party ranks as delegates. The other wing of the party will hold its county convention Saturday Ward primaries are supposed to be held Friday night for the selection of delegates, but under a resolution calling the meeting if there is no ward contest Geogre H. Poole, the secretary of the committee, is empowered to name such volunteers as present names to him as delegates. There will be no contest as the other wing will not participate in the convention. Saturday's meeting is that held under the auspices of the county committee of which G. T. Taylor claims the chairmanship. Col. Taylor's committee is affiliated with the Negroes of Memphis, led by Bob Church, and is training with the state faction led by Jesse Littlefon, of Chattanooga, who also happens to be the national MOB FOILED IN ATTEMPT TO LYNCH MAN PASTOR AUSTIN DENOUNCES TAINTED MONEY He Jumps on Ancient and Highly Respected Bootlegging Profes. (Star News Service.) MUSKOGEE, Feb. 5—Last Sunday was Missionary Day and the services in the various A. M. E. Churches emphasized the work accomplished in the missionary field. At the Ward's Chapel, the rev. F. M. Greene, pastor, preached eloquent and impressive sermons at both morning and evening services. At night a pleasing concert was rendered under direction of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Stewart, the former being president of the Epworth League. Out at Reevesville, the Rev. C. M. Austin, pastor of A. M. E. Church, discussed eloquently at both services, and at night the congregation was highly gratified by the singing of the M. T. H. S. boys' glee club, under direction of Mrs. L. C. Clark. The Reverend discussing the days topic "Missionary Work," selected "Dorcas", the biblical character, and from her life and kindly deeds gave numerous appropriate illustrations. The Rev. Austin took occasion to refer to the fact that the Colored woman who had won the prize for collecting the largest amount for missionary purposes, is a bootlegger. He declared he had no wish for that kind of money to be brought into his church. He expressed regret that none of the hundreds of Negro women earning livings in honorable and legal ways had been the successful winner of the prize.

General Wood Champion Cause of Colored Americans By Edgar G. Brown. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Mar. 1.—The inmoral Lincoln was the first great American to deal justly with the black man. He set us free, but the assassin's bullet pierced his brain before he could give to us the instrumentalities for our advancement as full fledged American citizens. In our generation the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt opened wide the door of equality to his colored brother when he stood for a square deal to all regardless of race or color. Booker T. Washington dined with him even though the whole country put up aowl. But now he has been taken from our midst. God in his wise providence, however, has not left us without a champion. He has raised up General Leonard Wood, the greatest living American to lead His people. You know we need never be disheartened for we are God's children. Leonard Wood publicly addressed us at the Lincoln League, saying: "Today the important thing is law and Order. There is no group that stands for Law and Order more than NOTICE TO ODD FELLOWS Oklahoma Jurisdiction You are hereby advised that all the Grand officers of the jurisdiction of Oklahoma, are under good and sufficient bond with the exception of the elected Grand Secretary who has not yet qualified.

Five deputy sheriffs were here this afternoon at 4 o'clock with the negro but were informed that the mob was forming at Chandler and immediately left for McAlester in motor cars. It is rumored that the officers took their negro prisoner to Wewoka, Okla., and there expected to catch the Rock Island train tonight. The mob arriving here about 10 o'clock searched the city jail and the county jail for the negro and then found another Chandler negro here. They took this negro and part of the mob started back to Chandler with him. Forty others were dispatched to Wewoka to try to apprehend Davis there. A call from Under Sheriff Burgess at Chandler at midnight tonight informed the police here that two cars had been stolen there by negroes and that armed with shotguns and rifles, 12 blacks had start- Larger Circulation than all the combined Colored Weeklies in Oklahoma.

Not since the days of Lincoln have such words been uttered by a man seeking presidential honors. He tells us where he stands and auy candidate for president who does not pub- licly state his position on the race question cannot expect the Colored vote. General Wood will be the next great republican leader if two mil- lions of Colored voters have any- thing to say about it. "A second Teddy, folks! a second Teddy." Any man or woman twenty-one years old can organize a local Wood Club by writing to the National Colored People's Wood-for-President Club, Indianapolis, Indiana, for literature, buttons and other free instructions. This is an opportunity for Colored men and women to prove to Genera Wood that they want a man for President who will give every American black or white a Square Deal. the betterment of Tulsa.

M'CALESTER, March. 3.—What threatened to be a serious race rising came to an end with the arrival at the state penitentiary here of Sheriff Grallis with Chap Davis, Negro who was sentenced Monday to a forty-five year term for attempting to assault a white woman. The sheriff with his prisoner did not reach McAlester until late yesterday after a day spent in "navigating" muddy roads. Fears were felt that a mob had intercepted him and taken his prisoner. Davis was convicted for attempting to assault Miss Willie Harvey, a school teacher of Stroud. He was arrested and entered a plea of guilty.

Star News Service. New York, Marih 5—Dr W. E. B, Dubois, editor of the Crisis, has written a new book. It is called “Darkwater,” and — was published February 26th by the great New York publishing firm of Harcourt, Brace & Howe. “Darkwater’” is said to be ey- en more powerful than ‘The Souls of Black Folk,’? written by Dr, DuBois seventeen years aga It is a human dacument of extra- ordinary intensity and in- sight, expressing the awakened conscience and aspirations of the darker races everywhere, and will live as long as there is an op- Pressed race in the world. No one has ever described with greater power and beauty what it is like to ba black man in a white world. No one has ever made a_ nobler and more powerful appeal for jus- tice to black folk. Most people think that the Ne- ‘gro problem is one thing and the problem of work or wages or edu- cation or government is another. But that is just what. Dr. DuBois does not believe. He proves that if you solve the problems of work ard wages and education and gov- ernment in the right way, you will solve the Negro problem “at the same time. There is no color pro- blem apart from these other prob- leas, To make this clear he hasde- seribed his own childhood — train- ing and outlook on the world as a Negro; and to show the vast emo- tienal contest of the social _prob- lem, he has inserted between the chapters bits of poetry and faney, which interpret the bewilderment the longing, asd the faith of mil- lions of men. The book ends with a brief philosophy of beahty and death, and a story and a hymn lookiny toward human unity. It is a thoroughly human book from be- lyinving to end, Mrs. Damie Booker arrived in| th city last week from Omaha_ to visit her parents, Mr, and Mrs. Roland.

Prop. PAGE FIVE AMERICA PRESS APPROVES MORROW'S ACTION Blackest Pages of History. (Baltimore, Md., News) -- It is of course disgraveful that in a city of the size of Lexington and supposed orderliness, such riot as accompanied the trial of the Negro Lockett should be countenanced for a minute. But, due to the prompt action of Governor Morrow of Kentucky, o still greater disgrace—but a prisoner might have been tormented taken from a court of justice—was averted. This country cannot be considered to have reached a really good state of civilization until such outbreaks of elemental passion and bestiality as have been and are all too frequent are eliminated. It is vowing a common place saying that the lynchings and attempted lynchings which occur to some extent lie over the country, but more especially in the south, constitute some of the blackest pages of our national history and the most uncomfortable thought of all is that mob women still seems far from extermination. There is No Excuse. (The Outlook.) In primitive communities where such means of justice are lacking, or in communities where courts are corrupt or incompetent and do not act with decision and unsparing severity there is excuse for the assumption of power to punish by the people themselves; where these conditions do not exist, there is such excuse. The Only Way? (Philadelphia, Pa., Press.) The south in general and Kentucky in particular should be very grateful for Governor Morrow's firmly courageous action. In using the militia to disperse an armed mob bent on lynching a Negro prisoner he has struck a blow at lynch law which will long be remembered and which should have salutary effect ineffacing it altogether. The South needs mire executives of his stamp and consciousness and his fearlessness. That five people had to be killed while he was thus preserving law and order is deplorable. But there will be no disposition to blame Governor Morrow for this. The mob which sought to override lawful authority brought these casualties on itself, and is fortunate that none of its members did not fail before the rifles of the defenders of the government. Lynching is an abomination peculiar to America. It is an evil tradition which has operated to stain the good repute of an otherwise law abiding people. Governor Morrow's way is the only effective way. The nation owes him gratitude for the example he has set The Government Challenged. But it was the government of Kentucky that the mob attacked when they undertook to take the Negro away from Kentucky authorities, and by that act they placed themselves in the position of insurrectionists, challenging the authority of their government. When men do that, they ought to know they take their lives into their own hands, and have no redress if they come to grief. Calm Firmness Of Power (Louisville, Ky., Courier) The calm firmness of the State in asserting its power is a warning to others who might be tempted into acts of anarchy or violence. It says to them: "Gaze on this and beware!" Kentucky has set an example for the country. Its stand will have a moral effect of inestimable public value. In some minds falsely believed to be a land of tolerated law-breaking and bloodshed, the State now takes on a new look as a majestic champion of law and order. "Law and Order!" Be that the slogan for all and more and more will the people's government be vilified into a thing to be respected and supported. No Surrender to Mob. (Knoxville, Tenn., Sentinel) (Bloxwich, Teeh, Senthiel). But the organized authorities cannot surrender to the mob. They must stand their ground and public sentiment uphold and support them, forin the other alternative it would not be one or a half dozen lives that would die but the social order itself and the lives of the multitudes dependent upon the social order must pay the price.

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.

(Chattanooga, Tenn., Times) The mob is afraid of a resolute officer with a force of resolute men armed with guns that when fired will be fired to "kill." Every other method has been tried to prevent mob violence, and has failed, but this method must succeed or else we are rushing surely into mobocracy. We are quite sure that mobs will at least be more circumspect than they have hitherto been in Kentucky as a result of this story from Lexington of official courage and determination. PLAN NATIONAL MEMORIAL AT WASHINGTON CITY Senator Capper and Congressman Sherwood Advocate its Erection (A. N. P. Service) WASHINGTON, D. C.. March 5—Impetus was given the movement being promoted by the National Memorial Association for the erection in Washington of a memorial of the colored service men in the overseas war at the celebration of the anniversary of the birthday of President Abraham Lincoln at the Metropolitian A. M. E. Church, Dr. Kemper, associate pastor of the church, presided. Dr. G. W. Cabinass, District of Columbia, commissioner for the association, presided for the organization. The student body of the Girl's Training School, Lincoln Heights under the direction of Miss Nanne H. Burroughs, sang patriotic songs. Senator Arthur Capper o fKansas introduced by Silas Harris, president of the Negro Educational Association; Representative W. E. Andrews of Nebraska, introduced by F. D. Lee, president of the memorial association, and Gen. Isaac R. Shoewood, member of Congress from Ohio and author of the bill in Congress providing funds for the memorial introduced by Dr. Cabinass, were the speakers, paying tribute to the memory of President Lincoln and the heroism of the colored soldier in the civil, Spanish-American and overseas wars. They pledged their support to the pending legislation, giving assurance that a grateful nation would make the long delayed recognition of the services of the colored man in war by the erection of the memorial at the National Capital that the memorial association seeks. Mr. O. W. Gurley who recently suffered a paralytic stroke will leave next week for Hot Springs. 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, rythms, 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. COLORED MUSICIANS Extends Charter Membership Time and Meets in New York in July. (A. N. P. Service) NEW YORK, N. A., March 5—The Board of Directors of the National Association of Negro Musicians voted to extend time of Charter-Memberships' until July 1920, when the Second Convention meets in New York City. This organization tends to promote Fellowship, Fraternity, Mutual Encouragement and Helpful Criticism. Is it not true that professional jealousy is the bane of the Negro Musician? Here is an opportunity to come together, to discuss conditions and the means of improving them, to pledge everlasting friendship and good will. Do you realize what a tremendous moral weapon the Negro holds by virtue of his wonderful music? Negro music if used as propaganda might easily become the most potent factor in ameliorating conditions, softening prejudice and creating an understanding between the races. Unquestionably it presents one of the most attractive phases of Negro temperament. Even our worst enemies cannot altogether ignore it. A Swell Birthday Party Mrs. R. H. Middleton entertained her many friends with a Birthday Party at the cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Howard, 224 Frankfort street, February 28, 1920. The room was beautifully decorated in the center of which stood the dining table graced with a beautiful Birthday Cake, decked with candles each candle representing a year, the same were easily counted. Amusements: Good music, and sweet singing such as would cause the pictures upon the walls to send back the echo. Mr. F. L. Oliver sang like a nightingale to the strains of music produced by Mrs. Middleton at the piano. From the Horoscope many were surprised that others knew their disposition. Before those beautiful strains of music could die away on the evening air, we were interrupted with the turning of the plate and the collecting of ponds from those whose age kept them from being nimble. Everyone redeemed his pond regardless to the penalty. As the table stood groaning burdened with the delicacies of the season, all mace ready to relieve it of its burden. Menu. Ice cream, cake, jello and grape juice. At the conclusion of the repast, Miss Maud Rhodes presented the presents which brought many a smile from Mr. R. H.

Mr. Ed, Nickens, formerly of Star printing department and now foreman of Watchman-Lantern shop, has been laid up for some weeks on account of a nervous breakdown. Mrs. Nickens, his wife and a well known teacher at M. T. H. S., has lost some time from her work on account of her husband's illness. Ed. is now on road to recovery. Anticipating their spring and summer trade, the Messrs. Wilson and Jones have installed a new and beautiful soda fountain and marble topped tables. Mrs. H.

SARAH RECTOR A MILLIONAIRE Sarah Rector Acquires Possession of Vast Estate on Eighteenth Birth- day if Muskogee Judge Is Willing MUSKOGEE, March 3.—Sarah Rector, a negro girl, with erstwhile residence at Los Angeles was eighteen years old Wednesday. Not at all significant is the stat- ment until it is told that as she enters the majority right period she will assume control of a million dollars if the county court here decides she is competent to care for that vast sum. And there is little likelihood the count will take such action as to deprive her of the reputation of being the richest negro girl in the world, and of entering unrestricted control. Unless the girl is present in the court room, however, the court will decline to take any action designed to prevent her from handling her own estate, it was intimated. Mrs. Rector, the girl's mother, recently filed a petition in the county court asking that a guardian be appointed to administer the girl's affairs after she becomes of age alleging she is incapable, through lack of business ability, to handle them herself. To declare the girl incompetent without personally examining her, would be a waste of time, County Judge Enloe V. Vernor said, because the higher courts would hold the proceedings invalid. First Ba PAGE SEVEN RICHEST COLORED GIRL SAFEGUARDS HER WFAUTH Becoming of Age, Sarah Rector Executes $1,500,0000 Deed of Trust Star News Service. MUSKOGEE, Okla., March 3. Fearing that she might be spirited away and robbed of her vast wealth, Sarah Rector, said to be the richest negro girl in the world, executed a deed of trust to her $1,500,00 estate here today a few hours after she attained her majority and assumed control of her own affairs. M. G. Young, banker who was co-guardian which the girl became of age today, and T. J. Porter, a former guardian, both white, are named as the trustees. They have made bond in the sum of $150,000. 'Announcement of this pisposition of the Rector case was made by A. E. Disney, attorney for the girl and Trustee Young. A petition recently filed by the girl's mother, Rose Rector, to have her declared an incompetent and a guardian appointed to protect her estate probably will be dismissed as a result of the voluntary execution of the deed of trust, it was said today.

MOB RULE AND THE LAW OKLAHOMA was disgraced this week by a mob which formed at Chandler (and traveled across country to Shawnee to intercept the Sherriff of Chandler who was making his way to the penitentiary at McAlester with a prisoner who had been arrested, tried and cou: vieted within 48 hours for attempted criminal assault. The sheriff outwitted these hellish defomers of law jand justice and landed his man eefely in the pen, and thus save our atate from the stain of an- other lynching, a ete It is deplorable that conditions in Oklahonga are such that a body of men may form themselves into a mob and chase across the country to desecrate our institutions of government without dis- guise as to their person or their unlawful intentions and escupe the penalty of the law which they sought to violate. If it was right and just that the Negro prisoner should be so speedily tried, convicted and sentenced to serve a term of 45 years in prison for attempting to commit a crime, then we see no reason why the 150 white men who sought to take him from the offgers of the law and ruthlessly murder him, should not just as speedily suffer the consequences of 4 crime just as enormous, so far jas the law is concerned, as the crime committed by the black man. How suffer can hope to stop mob violence unless the operation of our laws punish the instigators of mobs and would-be lynchers just as speed-- ly a8 it should those who actually take part in lynchingst ‘This attempt on the part of the Chandler white men was nothing lese than an open violation of the law and they should be punished. As to the Colored men of Shawnee who, it is alleged, stole an puto, armed themselves and went to protect the prisoner, aside from taking the auto whica was manifestly wrong, but perhaps not with- out some eytenuatng circumstances, since their intentions were to uphold the law of our state. they are the heroes of the story. If one set of men arm themselves and chase across the country to vio late the law, certainly another set who arm themselves to uphold the @upremacy of the law and prevent crime, must stand out prominent- ly af tho beat citizens. Therefore the action of the Colored men in thia case is to be commended. Wo need more citizens like them in every community and of both races. But if our laws were properly enforced the action of the Colored men would have been unnecessary because the mob would have been arreated, even if it had been necessary to order out the militia. militia. lan Our laws must be(ample to protect prisoners as well as punish them. Otherwise citherour laws or our officers are inadequate. THAT FELLOW in our Ravo who is given to using profanity in publie places tand in front of our awemen, should think of the women members of his own family and just how he would feel if he heard some dirty-mouth scoundrel epewng out all kinds of filthy tal& tm front of them: Let us treat other women just as we fo coat members of our family aeated. Dirty talk gots one ere IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN 60, end perhaps always will be, that the man who tries hardest and sacrifices most to advance the stand- erd of his people, is very often the most abused, and most mis- trearted man of the community. The true Race man of today must fight for his people while they are coutinually fighting him and doing all they can to hinder his progress: But RIGHT and MERIT al ‘waye win and in this there is ample encouragement. ee et THE CITY CAMPAIGN which we are now entering into is looked upon by many as a time for ‘mud slinging,'’? and ‘wash ing dirty linen,” etc. But we hope to see « elean honest campaign and « good clean election, Men who indulge in vilifying sheir fellowmen, in our opinion is unfit for any office in the gift of Tul- da'e Citizenship. ee THE COLORED WOMEN of Tulsa have made their debut in politics.

COLORED CHILDREN ROBBED OF MONTH'S TRAINING Oklahoma Separate School Law A blanket Covering Untair Man- ipulation of Negto Eaucation (Star News Service.) MUSKOGEE, Mar, 5.—The color- ea school children of Muskogee are to lose one entire month of school training. When May comes they can throw their school booxs unaer the bed or down the coal chute into the cellar, and for four long months instead of three as here- ‘tofore, they can play ball or fish to a fare-the-well. This opportunity {to play to their hearts’ content dur- ‘ing a long vacation comes to them because they are Negro children, for under the Separate School taws of Oklahoma any sort or no sort of provision for Negro education can find substantiation thro’ the inter- pretation of the school law, which ‘at its very incipiency had but one aim and that to deter Negro educa- tion in Oklahoma almost to the point ‘of denying it altogether, While the Negro boys and giils are loafing on Muskogee's streets, they are during ‘the month of May to witness the es. ‘atic ineffableness of merely being white, when they see the white children passing as usual on theit “way to the white schools which run for the full nine month’s period, This loss of a month has beer hanging like the sword of Damocles over the heads of the Negro school patrons for a number of years. Sev eral times an escape from this short- ening of the school term has been made only thro’ the energetic efforts cf certain prominent Negroes whc | went before the Excise Board and ‘pleaded for fair and just treatment ‘in the matter. Among those partic- ‘ularly instrumental in putting off this disaster are the Hon, Emmet Stewart and Hon. H. T. Walker, wel |known attorneys. “It is sad to relate that never at any time haye the color: ed parents of the thousand and more pupils in these schools risen in thei might and protested against thi wrong. Many patrons have the fool ish idea that it is a teachers’ fight but while there are thirty or forts teachers, there are nearly 2,004 Jsehool children, and only a fool |would consider this loss of schoo training to 2,000 school children. o less importance than the loss of time to 30 ro 40 teachers. As far as the teachers are concera ed their position is deplorable anc | worthy of general public commisera tion At the opening of the school: last September a raise in al} the sal aries except one was made. ‘This wa’ indeed proper and was joyfully me! by the Colored teachers. It is wel ‘known that the lowest paid teach “er in white schools gets same salary us highest colored grade teacher Hence the raise came as a long de ferred blessing. But now at end o} “school year, one month is cut of end the raise during eight months past will not equal loss of one en- tire months’ pay. If that is not “treating them rough” what is it?
