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

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.

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

TAINTED MONEY

(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

RACE BATTLE FEARED
AT SHAWNEE; THE BLACKS ARM TO MEET POSSE
SHAWNEE, March 1.—A mob estimated at about 150 men were in Shawnee at 10 o'clock tonight in search of Chap Davis, the negro who it is alleged attempted to assault a school teacher at Chandler yesterday and who was sentenced to 45 years in the penitentiary by District Judge Hal Johnson at Chandler today.
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-

Shawnee Sheriff Safety Lands Negro Prisoner in Pen.
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.

Poor sportsmanship on the part of the faculty and players of the Manual Training High School, Muskogee, kept the Tulsa "Tigers," Washington High's basketball team from gaining a well earned victory over the Muskogee team in their city last Friday night. The game, a remarkable one, was played to a tie score by all the rules of the game. An error on the referee's part was responsible for great discussion in which it was claimed that a four goal, allowed before the expiration of the game should be thrown over because the timekeeper's whistle blew while the throwing of the goal was in progress. To have attempted to throw the goal again would have been the same as admitting that we had not tied the score when the goal was thrown previously, apoint we were not willing to concede.
The game started with a rush. Each team had met defeat once and was bent on capturing the odd victory. Muskogee led from the first whistle, and foiled all attempts of our boys to score, while they ran their total up to 14 in the first half. This would have taken the pep and coridence out of most teams but the "Tigers" are made of sterner stuff. The blanking in the first half stimulated them to greater efforts and they came back a different team. With dashing attack and perfect gunning, they punctured Muskogee's defense for 13 points, while holding them scoreless before "the smoke cleared away" and then, with 30 seconds to play the referee called a foul against Muskogee. The ball was handed to Tolbert who took his position on the foul line to try for the goal. As he poised for the throw the time-keeper called "Time up." The ball was thrown the goal was made, the score was tied. Every body in the hall saw this with the exception of the referee, who was locking at the score board. According to the rules, if a foul is called before the end of the game, the try for goal shall be attempted ever though time has to be extended. In case of a tie game an additional period of five minutes shall be allowed to play off the tie. The referee contended that as he did not see the goal thrown, it would have to be thrown over. Of course, he was upheld in this view by the Muskogee contingent to the extent that they even refused to say whether they saw the goal thrown or not. While they contended for the goal to be thrown over, we insisted on five minutes more in which to play off the tie. Muskogee's twenty minutes of scoreless made the outlook for another five minutes rather gloomy, so rather than prove their mettle and scrap it out to the end they chose to play the cowardly part of hiding behind a gross error on the part of the referee and calling the game a win in their favor. We have tried to get another game with them but they are "through for the season."

made, making the campus and surroundings very pleasing to the eye. During recent democratic convention, quite a number of State officers, including Governor Robertson, spent an enjoyable afternoon at the Blind School.
Mr. M. G. Mathis, of Boley, Okla., who has been selling pecans on Archer street, for past three weeks, says he has sold over 2000 pounds, and hence he is feeling fine and highly pleased with Tulsa and its people. Mr. Mathis gave the Star office a large order for printing and also expresses his views of Tulsa as a good old town for good people to live in elsewhere in our columns.
Mr. Will Ragsdale of Muskogee, founder of the Ragsdale Undertaking business in that city, and now a successful dealer in groceries, was in Tulsa Tuesday and while here was seen much in company of Mr. J.

The Jackson Undertaking Co., has not been as busy during the past week as they were during the preceding weeks of February. One case passing through their hands was that of Mr. John Logan, a colored miner, who died at Hickory, and whose body was shipped to Youngstown, Ohio, for burial. It might be said here that there are other Logans buried at Youngstown, anong them being the son of the late civil war fighter, General John A. Logan, candidate for vice president on Blaine and Logan ticket. The general's son was married to a daughter of one of Youngstown's wealthiest steel magnates. His magnificent tomb and coffin draped with American flags and military insignia is one of the show places of that town, and now our John Logan late of Hickory, will most likely be buried in same cemetery not far distant from his more distinguished namesake. In Youngstown "both races use one graveyard, as their lives are spent in peace and harmony and hence they have no fear that as ghosts they will rise and stage a post-mortem race conflict.
NOTED PECAN GAFFERER
PAYS TULSA COMPLEMENT
Mr. M. G. Mathis of Boley, Okla.
Likely Has Gathered More Pecans Than Anyone in America
It is my desire to challenge any man of my nationality for the world's record of pecan gathering. I have sold more than two thousand pounds of pecans in Tulsa during the past three weeks, and from my experience in grading pecans, I will in years to come be able to supply the people with a better grade of pecans than any man of less experience.
And judging from my experience of Tulsa during the past three weeks Tulsa does not deserve the credit of being a bad place for a good person to live. It should readily be a known fact to every clear thinker that everyone's life has bad places in it, so has every town. But one should learn to never judge the best of anything by the worst of it. I feel safe in saying that according to the colored population of Tulsa the law is violated less than in any town in the State. Don't stand back and judge Tulsa from the other fellow's off hand statements, get out among the colored people of Tulsa and learn for yourself their true merits, and ther I feel sure you will freely join me in saying that Tulsa is a good place for good people to live.

PERSHING THANKS NEGRO
WOOD CARVER
Mr. Taylor Carves and Presents Bus- Relief of General to Him.
TULSA, Mar. 5.—While our Colored citizens took no prominent part in the program prepared for the reception of General John J. Pershing during his visit here in February, this was not due to any lack of interest in the General, nor any lack of admiration for him. Our people just like others elsewhere have a keen relish in remembering that when the question of sending Colored troops to France came up early during the recent great world's war, General Pershing illustrated his proposition by calling for more Colored soldiers
One incident of the Pershing reception, not on the program, was the unexpected presentation to the General at Convention Hall, of a very expertly carved and painted bus- relief wood carving portrait of himself. The presentation was made by Mr. H. G. B. Taylor, a well known Negro citizen of Tulsa. Mr. Taylor is likely one of the most skillful carvers and whittlers with an ordinary jack-knife in America and in

his collection he has many that provoke amazement as well as admiration. Some time ago, Mr. Taylor conceived the idea of carving a portrait of General Pershing, and after obtaining a good picture, he set to work. The bus-relief was cut, carved and whitted out of a block of two inch plank, and when completed was given a number of coats of paint in appropriate colors reproducing colors of skin and of the U.S. Military uniform in closest detail. On the day General Pershing came to Tusa, Mr. Taylor called at Tuba Star office exhibiting his wonderful handiwork. It was suggested that he go and present it to General Pershing. This advice was taken by the Negro carver, and in the midst of the enthusiastic reception accorded the General at Convention Hall, by thousands of Tulsans, Mr. Taylor stepped forward and gave his work to the General. He was the recipient recently of the following letter written to him at Memphis, Tenn., by the General, and naturally Mr. Taylor is the happiest and

One of the women took his gun and brought it in sudden contact with his head and spontaneously Mr. Lam kissed mother Earth When he arose he was again greeted with the same ceremony, and after a few outcries for mercy he beat a hasty retreat leaving his gun in charge of the women. He was later arrested by police. As near as could be learned about the identity of the women, one is named Tressie and the other is known as "Black Ida." Lam has recently made several gun plays and has figured in the police records.

It appears that there are some Tulsa citizens who are opposed to the use of the hall over the undertakers on East Archer street, for dancing purposes. One of the men who are thus opposed expresses his views as follows:
Mr. Editor:—We, the citizens and Christians of this city do ask the good Christian citizens to help us to impress upon the minds of our young citizens who enjoy dancing to please select some other location for dancing. We don't want them to dance over our undertaker. We know you don't hurt the dead, but you wound the hearts of their relatives and friends.

Posts Warning Notices against Drinking Cups and Roller Towels
Have you met Dr. A. R. Lewis? Well, if not, he has been here and his card can be found tacked up in hundreds of places around Tulsa. Dr. Lewis is Health Commissioner for the State of Oklahoma, and has been giving Tulsa a close inspection pursuant to the modern scientific method of handling diseases of the human family. This modern method aims to prevent and render disease impossible as far as can be attained by educating the people. The oldogy ideas of our fathers and grand fathers concerning handling of disease have been thrown aside, and now through health boards and health officers, people are instructed how to avoid doctor and undertaker bills. This trip Dr. Lewis has posted notices in colored hotels and restaurants prohibiting use of public glasses at drinking fountains and of roller towels. This is indeed a very proper and needed warning and any reasonably witted person will readily see the wisdom of obeying Dr. Lewis' order.

Let every member and every inmate give $1.00 on Peter Ogden's Day and send it to Frank Smith, at 112 1-2 N.

Just think a Lodge with 21 members giving $1400; that is what the land cost. Don't you think we should get busy and build the Home? Yes, we are going to build the home, for it is needed badly. The Tabors have a Tabernacle, the Masons have a Temple, the K. of P.'s are collecting money in advance, the U. B.

It is a human document of extraordinary intensity and insight, expressing the awakened conscience and aspirations of the darker races everywhere, and will live as long as there is an oppressed race in the world. No one has ever described with greater power and beauty what it is like to b a black man in a white world. No one has ever made a nobler and more powerful appeal for justice to black folk.
Most people think that the Negro problem is one thing and the problem of work or wages or education or government is another. But that is just what Dr. DuBois does not believe. He proves that if you solve the problems of work and wages and education and government in the right way, you will solve the Negro problem at the same time. There is no color problem apart from these other problems. To make this clear he has described his own childhood training and outlook on the world as a Negro; and to show the vast emotional contest of the social problem, he has inserted between the chapters bits of poetry and fancy, which interpret the bewilderment the longing, as the faith of millions of men. The book ends with a brief philosophy of beauty and death, and a story and a hymn lookingy toward human unity. It is a thoroughly human book from beginning to end.

NEGROES PLAN $500,000 BANK
AT ATLANTA, GEORGIA SOON
President Parry Proposes to Build a Modern Bank.
(A. N. P. Service.)
NEW YORK, March 5.—The largest banking and trust company in the world owned, controlled and operated by members of the Colored race, with its home office in Atlanta and branches scattered throughout the United States, is being organized and it is expected will shortly be opened for business. It is to be known as the Citizens' Trust company, and it will have a capital and surplus of $500,000, which its organizers believe ample for immediate requirements. The stock is now being offered to the public and it is reported that members of the Colored race throughout the South and in the East are subscribing for the same.
Herman E. Parry, president of the Standard Life Insurance company, of Atlanta, who is chairman of the organization committee, announced that plans already are under consideration for the erection of a modern banking establishment, which will be located probably at Auburn avenue and Cortland street title of which was acquired by Mr. Parry.
Announcement.
Mr. G. W. Fillmore, the popular merchant of Sand Springs, and who is favorably known here and Mrs. Anna Belle Smart of Tulsa, were quietly married Monday, March 4, at high noon. This came as quite a surprise to Mr. Fillmore's many friends. The ceremony was performed at the court house. The Tulsa Star and force wish then much success and happiness on their smooth sailing over life's tempestuous sea.
Mr. Sherrill Thompson and Mrs. Jessie Hall were happily married on last Tuesday at the residienie of the bride on Lansing street. Presiding Elder James A. Johnson performed the ceremony.
Mrs. Frank Miller, who resides on North Greenwood street, left this week for Hot Springs, Ark., where she will spend about six weeks taking the hot water baths.
Rev. Charles Williams, a member of Mt. Zion Baptist church and a stalwart young minister, delivered an able sermon last Sunday morning, the pastor being absent from the city. God bless such young ministers as Rev. Williams and did not our hearts burp within us while he talked with us, by the way?
Mrs. Elsie Williams, the daughter of Mrs. Joins of 516 North Exter, who arrived last week from Dallas, Texas, is on the sick list this week.

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.

ARE YOU SICK! Your Resolution Should Be: "I will Get Well the Mechano-Therapy Way"
Mechano-Therapy is a scientific method of finding the cause of disease in the spinal column (back bone), and correcting that cause by adjusting the vertebrae (segments) of the spine to eliminate any pressure on the nerves that pass out from the spinal cord to supply all parts of the body with nerve force (life). When this is done nature will make you well. Mechano-Therapy adjustments open the channels for nature to do her work.
Let us explain how Mechano-Therapy will make you well. No charge for consultation:

Nervous System
Southern and Northern Mobs. (Pittsburg, Pa., Sun.) Mibs, both Southern and Northern, have been dealt with in too gentle a fashion. Hoodlums must be made to feel the strong right arm of the law. Those who do not respect law must be forced to fear it.
Fire To kill.
(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. Middleton as well as Mrs. Middleton, because all presents were serviceable.

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.

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 convicted within 48 hours for attempted criminal assault. The sheriff outwitted these hellish defenses of law and justice and landed his man safely in the pen, and thus save our state from the stain of another lynching.
It is deplorable that conditions in Oklahoma 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 disguise as to their person or their unlawful intentions and escape 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 offenders of the law and ruthlessly murder him, should not just as speedily suffer the consequences of a crime just as enormous, so far as 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 speedily as it should those who actually take part in lynchings?
This attempt on the part of the Chandler white men was nothing less than an open violation of the law and they should be punished.
less 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 auto, armed themselves and went to protect the prisoner, aside from taking the auto when was manifestly wrong, but perhaps not without some eyetunning 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 violate the law, certainly another set who arm themselves to uphold the supremacy of the law and prevent crime, must stand out prominently as the best citizens. Therefore the action of the Colored men in this case is to be commended. We 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 arrested, even if it had been necessary to order out the militia. militia.
Our laws must be sample to protect prisoners as well as punish them. Otherwise eitherour laws or our officers are inadequate.
THAT FELLOW in our Race who is given to using profanity in public places and in front of our women, should think of the women members of his own family and just how he would feel if he heard some dirty-mouth scoundrel spewng out all kinds of filthy talk in front of them. Let us treat other women just as we would have members of our family treated. Dirty talk gets one needling.
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO, and perhaps always will be, that the man who tries hardest and sacrifices most to advance the standard of his people, is very often the most abused, and most mistreated man of the community. The true Race man of today must fight for his people while they are continually fighting him and doing all they can to hinder his progress. But RIGHT and MERIT always win and in this there is ample encouragement.
THE CITY CAMPAIGN which we are now entering into is looked upon by many as a time for "mud slinging," and "washing dirty linen," etc. But we hope to see a clean honest campaign and a good clean election. Men who indulge in vilifying their fellowmen, in our opinion is unfit for any office in the gift of Tulsa's Citizenship.
THE COLORED WOMEN of Tulsa have made their debut in politics. A good number of them registered this week and ninety per cent of them registered "Democrats," indicating that in politics they will not follow the lead of the G. O. P.
PROBLEM: A young man of this city draws a weekly salary of $21.00; he and his wife lives in a certain hotel here and are apparently in moderately comfortable circumstances.
Question: How does he do it? Answer at once.
RENT PROFITEERING is one of the great evils of Tulsa, but there seems to be no remedy for it. It all comes under the guise of "High Cost of Living," which in a great many cases transposed means, The Cost of High Living.
THE COLORED RACE must lend encouragement to every deserving business enterprise conducted by our people. Too, we must do our bit toward inducing new enterprises to open in our midst, as the Colored man should be represented in every line of business.
THE REAL political enemy of the Colored Race is to be found within the ranks of the party that he claims to love so dearly—Republican party—and who is known as "lily whites." That's the bunch to watch.
THE MANLY Colored man who possesses manhood enough to stand up and speak out when his Race is assaulted is styled by some as a "bigotry nigger." What the Colored Race most need is more of this kind.

U.S. INCOME TAX EXEMPTS NOBODY
Every Person Who Had Income
in 1919 Must Determine
Own Liability
MARCH 15 LAST FILING DATE.
Surest Way Is to Follow Form 1040A.
Free Advice In Doubtful Cases.
Severe Penalties in
Law.
Nobody is exempt from Income Tax.
An obligation is laid directly on the
shoulders of each citizen and resident
is consider his own case and to get his
return in on time if one is due.
With each return showing a tax due
a payment must accompany the return
in the full amount of the tax or at
least one-quarter of the tax.
All returns for 1919 must be filed on or before March 15.
Must Show True Figures
In figuring up his earnings for income tax purposes a person must take into consideration all items of taxable income, and each item itself must be accurate in amount. Guesses and estimates must be avoided, for the return is made under oath. Everybody who had an income during 1818 must now determine whether his or her net income was sufficient in amount to require an Income Tax return. The best way to find out is to get a Form 1404A and follow the instructions printed on it. That form will serve as a reminder of every item of income; and if a return is due, it tells how to prepare and file it.
One of the important points to keep in mind is that a person's net income is found by a computation prescribed in the law, and that each item of income from every source must be considered, unless specifically exempted.
Another thing to remember is that the personal exemption allowed taxpayers by law has no relation whatever to the requirement to file return. This exemption is not to be considered until a person has figured out his net income and determined whether it was sufficient to require him to file a return. Then, if a return must be filed, he should read carefully the instructions for claiming exemption, and complete his return.
If in doubt on any point as to income or deductions, a person may secure free advice and aid from the nearest Internal Revenue office. Many banks and trust companies are also furnishing similar service during banking hours.
Heavy Penalties In Law.
For failing to make a return on time the penalty is a fine of not more than $1,000 and an addition of 25 per cent to the tax, if any. For making a false or fraudulent return the penalty is a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both; and, in addition, 50 per cent of the tax. There are other penalties for failing to pay tax when due, and for understatement of the tax through negligence.
Many Sources of Income.
Aside from what one may earn by his services, there are many other sources of income. If he sold any property during 1819 he must figure out the gain realized. If he rented buildings, land, apartments or rooms such rentals must be considered taxable, and he may claim deductions for necessary expenses incidental to rents. Bank interest is a common source of income and is taxable whether withdrawn or not. Any amount of interest credited to a depositor is income to the depositor. Interest on mortgages and notes is taxable; also bond interest received from corporations. A taxpayer who cashed his insurance during 1819 must report as income any excess received ever the total of premiums paid.
Members of partnerships or personal service corporations or beneficiaries of an estate or trust must report their shares of income distributable to them whether or not actually withdrawn. Dividends of domestic corporations must be reported. Many other forms of income are taxable, unless specifically exempted.

PUBLISHERS ACCEPT
NEGRO COMPOSER'S SONGS
Roland Hayes Brings Tyler's Songs Into Public Notice.
(Star News Service.)
BOSTON, Mass., March 5—The musical critic of the Boston Transcript recently wrote a most flattering criticism of the music to Dunbar s "Ships That Pass in the Night," composed by Prof. J. Gerald Tyler, director of music at Sumner High School, St. Louis, Mo. The occasion for the favorable criticism was the singing of this song, along with those of other composers, by Roland Hayes at a recital. A group of songs composed by Mr. Tyler, have been accepted by an Eastern publisher, they being songs for children based on the "Mother Goose Rhymes," with a dance rhythm to each.
BRISK BRISTOW BOOM.
(Star News Service.)
BRISTOW, Okla., March 5.—There is a brisk boom on at Bristow in our great oil field. Among the new enterprises recently attracting our attention are, three lumber yards and one railroad shop and supply house. Considerable activity is shown in building both business and residence houses.
There has also been a fair sized boom with the "Spanish flu," quite a number of our citizens have been down with it and some have died. Mrs. Ada Williams, a member of the ladies' department of the Improved Industrial Order of Wisemen, died on Feb. 19 and was buried by the above order, Mr. G. W. Harrison, the Bristow undertaker, officiating and receiving check for his services at once from Mr. W. T. Hodges, Muskogee, president of the Order of Wisemen. Undertaker Harrison says this order is more prompt in settling claims than any other orders, white or black, with which he has had dealings.

COLORED CHILDREN ROBBED
Oklahoma Separate School Law A Blanket Covering Untair Manipulation of Negro Education (Star News Service.)
MUSKOGEE, Mar. 5.—The colored school children of Muskogee are to lose one entire month of school training. When May comes they can throw their school books under the bed or down the coal chute into the cellar, and for four long months instead of three as heretofore, they can play ball or fish to a fare-the-well. This opportunity to play to their hearts' content during a long vacation comes to them because they are Negro children, for under the Separate School laws of Oklahoma any sort or no sort of provision for Negro education can find substantiation thro' the interpretation of the school law, which at its very incipiency had but one aim and that to deter Negro education in Oklahoma almost to the point of denying it altogether. While the Negro boys and girls are loafing on Muskogee's streets, they are during the month of May to witness the estatic ineffableness of merely being white, when they see the white children passing as usual on their way to the white schools which run for the full nine month's period.
This loss of a month has been hanging like the sword of Damocles over the heads of the Negro school patrons for a number of years. Several times an escape from this shortening of the school term has been made only thro' the energetic efforts of certain prominent Negroes who went before the Excise Board and pleaded for fair and just treatment in the matter. Among those particularly instrumental in putting off this disaster are the Hon. Emmett Stewart and Hon. H. T. Walker, well known attorneys. 'It is sad to relate that never at any time have the colored parents of the thousand and more pupils in these schools risen in their might and protested against this wrong. Many patrons have the foolish idea that it is a teachers' fight, but while there are thirty or forty teachers, there are nearly 2,000 school children, and only a fool would consider this loss of school training to 2,000 school children of less importance than the loss of time to 30 ro 40 teachers.
As far as the teachers are concerned their position is deplorable and worthy of general public commiseration At the opening of the schools last September a raise in all the salaries except one was made. This was indeed proper and was joyfully met by the Colored teachers. It is well known that the lowest paid teacher in white schools gets same salary as highest colored grade teacher. Hence the raise came as a long deferred blessing. But now at end of school year, one month is cut off

Your floroscope
LEARN WHAT the stars and planets say about your future. If you expect to make any changes during the year, by all means have an Astrologer point out the days and dates when the planets are favorable for your interests. These are critical times and you need counsel and advice as never before. If you have made errors in the past, see that you do not make them in the future. There is no disputing the fact that the Astrologer can point out with remarkable accuracy and fortell coming events which are beyond the power of the average mind to foresee.
Surely you are interested in yourself and want to know more about your future. We send you a lengthy Astrological Reading covering the entire year; one that you can consult today and prepare for what is coming tomorrow. As long as your star of Destiny is favoring you, your affairs will run smooth and prosper, but when the planets are in evil aspect everything goes wrong, you then say you are having "bad" luck. Surely this has come to your notice. From the Astrologer's view the year 1920 will be the most eventful year in the world's history. Many a fortune will be made and lost. Therefore, when you have an important matter to decide, and are at a loss as to what is best to be done, it is only necessary to consult your annual forecast, which fully covers Business Matters, Change of Location, Speculation, Travel, Love Courtship, Marriage, Health, Accidents, Lucky days, etc., in details for the entire year.
We trust that you will avail yourself of this opportunity, for $2 spent today may save you years of unhappiness. Send $2.00, your full birthdate. Remit by P. O. Order. Do it Now. Tomorrow may be too late.
