Hubbard Administration Sure to Win Mayor and All Democratic Commissioners Will Be Nominated Tuesday. A Fearies Exponent of. Right and justice. An Uncompromising Defender of the Colored Race. We fear only to do wrong. Hubbard Mayor and All De missioners Will Ed Tues City Dads Have Made Good in Spite of Many Handicaps. Much has been said and no doubt much more will be said, good and bad (the latter from malice or political grudge), about the present city administration before the poils close in the primaries next Tuesday, but thinking people who really have the interest of Tulsa and her citizens at heart will not govern their action and cast their vote so much upon the strength of what has been said as upon what has been done or attempted by the City Administration during the past two years. Two years ago the present administration took charge of the municipal affairs of our city with a depleted treasury and several hundred thousand dollars of outstanding indebtness and with every department of the city in a dilapidated condition. Besides this they were handicapped by systematized opposition from influential citizens who sought and are still seeking to discredit their administration and to minimize the honest efforts of capable and efficient officials to promote the welfare of Tulsa and her citizens. ```markdown ``` But in spite of such tremendous handicaps, the present administration has converted the indebtedness of the city into cash in the treasury, have improved every department of the city more than 100 per cent and has made it possible for our city to grow to a population of 250,000 and drink pure healthful water from our city mains. There are many things the present administration planned to do when they were first elected to office that conditions have prevented them from carrying out for the time being, but which they will successfully carry out when they are re-elected. The Colored voters of Tulsa will not be inveigled into any transcendental regions of flowery promises from republicans or other aspirants for city officials, and influenced to cast their vote for men who may or may not give them a square deal, but will vote for men whom they personally know will give them every consideration as citizens. The registration this year gives Tulsa a stronger Colored democratic vote than ever before and the results in precinct 23 next Tuesday will be watched with much interest. The greatest fight for the present administration will be staged in the primary election. They need have no fear of 23 if they beat their enemies in the primary because the great majority of Colored voters regardless of party lines will vote for Bohn Has Made Good as Police Commissioner. It is the well known policy of The Tulsa Star to throw boquets, only where bouquets are merited and well deserved. It is with greatest satisfaction that we commend the administration of the Police Department under Police Commissioner F. M. Bohn, as the best and most efficient this city has ever enjoyed. So far as the Colored People are concerned, they have realized more in the shape of recognition by appointments as policemen and detectives than ever before. It can be said truthfully, that the limited allowances for this department in the city's budget, made it impossible for Commissioner Bohn to do more for cur Group than he has done. It is urged upon all fair minded Colored Citizens to consider at coming primary, that with the election of a friend such as Police Commissioner Bohn has shown himself to be, and resultant from the extraordinary THE TULSA STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY MARCH, 13, 1920. the present administration.

Tulsa is the only city in the state having a Colored Man officiating at the head of the detective department. McNulty Has Made Fine Record as Street Commissioner. Too much can not be said commemoratory of the indefatigable and efficient services rendered the City of Tulsa by the Hon. M. J. McNulty, Street Commissioner during present administration. Wherever and when ever there was work tending toward improvements of the public highways of Tulsa, Commissioner McNulty was onto the job and the work satisfactorily completed. The Colored People of Tulsa have excellent reason for considering favorably the capability of Mr. McNulty in coming primary. Under his administration there have been more Colored Men given honorable and remuner- Weekly Mail Edition THE MAN OF THE HOUR Popular Mayor of Tulsa, whose Nomination next Tuesday is Already conceded. ative employment than ever before in Tulsa's history. There are more Colored men employed in this department than in any other city in Oklahoma. The Colored People are classed as a grateful race, a race keenly appreciative of kindness and recognitions long denied them. Hence there can be no argument when we declare that Mr. McNulty is deserving from every point of view of the most favorable consideration at our hands at coming primary. DEMOCRATIC RALLY TO-NIGHT There will meet a political meeting in the Masonic Hall 618 E. Archer street to-night under the auspices of the Afro-American Democratic Club. Mayor Hubbard and other Democratic candidates will speak to the Colored people for the last time before the primary election, Tuesday. Everybody invited. WILBERFORCE RAISED $80,000.00 XENIA, O., Mar. 12. At its recent "Victory Rally" staged on Founders' Day, Wilberforce University near here raised $80,000.00, the largest sum ever collected in one day for educational purposes among our people in the Race's history. By the first Sunday in April this sum is expected to be increased to $100. Q00. Money raised, by districts; Bishop Smith, $2500.00; Bishop Copin, $8000.00; Bishop Jones, (Texas) $32,500; Bishops Tyree and Connor, nothing. Bishop Jones reported piedges of $35,000 on top of his cash turned in, and hence surpassed all other Bishops in the rally. W. H. Major General, United States Army.

Popular Colored Republican Candidate Praises City Democratic Administration. J. B. STRADFORD SAYS PRESENT ADMINISTRATION BEST TULSA EVER HAD "There was a time when I felt like killing any Colored man who said he was a Democrat but I want to confess that I do not feel that way now. I am glad to see our people affiliated with both the leading parties. I also want to confess that so far as their dealings with our people are concerned the present city administration is the best we have ever had in Tulsa. "Of course, I am a republican and a candidate for Commissioner No. 2, on the republican ticket and I know you can not do me any good in the primary, because you are all democrats here, but if I should be successful in the primary, I would like for you to vote for me in the general election next month." Thus spoke J. B. Stradford, one of the leading Colored men of this city, at a meeting of the Afro-American Democratic Club in the Masonic Hall Tuesday night. Mr. Stradford has always taken an active part in politics in this city and has always been considered a conservative leader. In the present campaign he is a candidate on the Republican primary ticket for one of the City Commissioners and it is expected that he will poll CLAREMORE ITEMS Mrs. Parlee Brown is greatly improved this week.

Mayor Hubbard and the City Commissioners have never received a better recommendation than that given them by Mr. Stradford Tuesday night. His words were an en- dorsement of the present City Ad- ministration that should not be lightly regarded by the Colored people of this city. Any one who knows J. B. Stradford knows he wil speak what he thinks under all circumstances and that he has the interest of his Race at heart. Mr. Stradford is a representative citizen worthy the respect of any man. He is probably the wealthiest Colored man in Tulsa and is helping in a big way to improve the standard of his people in this city. It was he who gave to Tulsa the Largest and most modern Colored hotel in the United States, and it is he who is now planning other great things for the benefit of his people which will put Tulsa in a class by itself as a city where public convenience and amusements may be enjoyed by members of our group as well as by any other people. Mr. Stradford thinks he could better carry out his plans if he was one of the City Commissioners and for this reason he consented to become a candidate when he was urged to make the race by a delegation of Colored citizens a few days ago. called home by the illness of her brother, Mr. Oscar Brown.

CHICAGO, Mar. 12—An airplane flight from Chicago to Cincinnati was arranged Monday for State Senator Jesse A. Bloch of West Virginia in a race on which may depend the ratification of the federal woman suffrage amendment by W. Virginia. The state senate is deadlocked on ratification. Senator Bloch, who has been in California, is known to be for ratification. If he reaches Charleston by Wednesday suffrage leaders believe West Virginia will ratify the amendment. Senator Bloch was due in Chicago Tuesday morning. In figuring train connections it was found that the senator must be in Cincinnati by 7 o'clock Tuesday night to catch a train that would take him to Charleston in time to cast his vote. Only a special train or an airplane would make the connection.

The city of Wichita, Kan., has a park located in that part more numerously populated by Negroes than by whites. As naturally can be expected this park has received less attention than parks elsewhere in Wichita. Recently a Rev. Grier wrote asking for the park to be set apart especially for the Colored people. The Wichita Protest editor and other leading citizens are protesting against "Jim Crowing" the park, especially for the reason that there are a number of white families in that section equally entitled to use of the park as the Colored. ANTLSALOON LEAGUE WANT LIQUOR DENATURED League Asks Government to Buy 75,000,000 Gallons and Make Them Undrinkable. (Star News Service.) CLEVELAND, O., Mar. 12.—With the enforcement of the national prohibition amendment, the distillers of whiskey found themselves with 75,000,000 gallons of liquor in government bonded warehouses and entirely out of their control. The Anti-Saloon League realizing that so long as there is that much good "likker" within the confines of America, there will be a hankering for it, have devised the scheme of having the United States government purchase this vast quantity of booze, paying a reasonable price therefor. It is then suggested that the government poison or denature it, and dispose of it as denatured, hence undrinkable liquor. "LAW" ATTACHES BANK ROLL OF BOY MOONSHINERS Two Muskogee Negro Boys Made Enough Whiskey to Float a Steamboat (Star News Service.) MUSKOGEE, Okla., Mar. 12.—Two Negro youths, both under age, are in the grip of the "law" for manufacturing whiskey, not by the pint, quart, nor gallon even, but by the barrel. These two boys, Wilbur Kelley and his younger brother, not knowing when the prohibition amendment would be repealed, and possessed of deep sympathy for their fellows who felt like the Governor of North Carolina when he said to the Governor of South Carolina, "It's a long time between drinks," they laid in the necessary machinery to carry them over a long "dry spell." Soon after last July 1st when "Mr. Tiger," of the Smarter Set went "blind," Wilbur and his brother with their distilling outfit began the making of whiskey and soon built up a lucrative retail whiskey business of over $1000.00 per month for themselves. At this rate it would not have been long before these youth would have been in the Sarah Rector class of young millionaires. But and but again, the Law, old U S Law, let me tell you, stepped in at 6th and Freemont, when the Kelley boys weren't expecting visitors, and found nine large 50-gallon barrels full of fine old Oklahoma corn juice. "The Law" with a spirit of greatest unfeeling for others proceeded to roll the barrels into the yard and knock the heads in, giving to the crowd of Negroes living in the neighborhood that gathered around, a never to be forgotten spectacle of a young ocean of booze being spilled and seeping its way back into Mother Earth from where it had originally sprung into life from little seed corn. The youthful Negro Wallingfords were arrested and after several days in jail were let out on bonds. It is not believed possible that very severe punishment will be meted out to them on account of their tender age, but of course, they are Negro boys and there is no telling. The U. S. government sleuths learning that the Kelleys had mixed considerable sense with their wrong doing by depositing their business profits in local banks, have undertaken through legal process to get possession of their bank roll, which amounts to approximately $2500. The bank account of the young Negro bootleger here has been attached by the government on the ground that the Federal licenses have not been paid. Here is the bill presented to Wilkerty for operations said to cover nine months: Federal tax as retail liquor dealer with 25 per cent penalty $937.50; federal tax as wholesale liquor dealer with penalty 937.50 tax on manufacture of 111 gallons of whiskey with double tax for attempt to evade $1420. Total is $3,395. His bank account of $2,220 can be stretched to meet this if he is given a few days to operate, it is said. His income for a few months last fall from his still, which was operated in town, was about $1000 a month, but he spent most of it on his friends and on himself. NEGRO SONG WRITER HAS PHENOMENAL SUCCESS Professor Winkfield, Song Writer, Sole Publisher of Own Works Prof. O. Willis Winkfield, of Tulahasse, Oklahoma, who bears the distinction of a song writer as well as an author, has become sole publisher of his own works. He has just received from the press, severa- thousand copies of four of his latest song hits which the music readers are selling with phenomenal success. The songs that this master of melody has written, that are popular in the Southwest are: "Sunshine After Rain," "Peace Our Pretty Dove" "Her Heart in Smile" and "The Sublime," the latter song will surely merit its way among the classics. It is a sacred number, which lifts you in thought. The lyric: "Sunshine After Rain" was written by the young author in 1962 and was set to music by Jack Standley of Washington, D. C. The publisher of the song soon went out of business, canceling contract covering terms of publishing the song. The writer of this song has revised it and set it to very enchanting music. These songs will be issued at wholesale prices to dealers and retailers to the public. The proceeds of The Soul Sublime will go to the building fund of the First Presbyterian Church, Tullahassee, Okla, for the first year.

The bandits were promptly met by several Gendarmes and Marine Patrols, driven from the city with a less of over one-half their number, and forced to flee in a terrorized state, to places of assumed safety to await further opportunity to escape. They were closely followed by Patrols, driven to the hills where they are still being successfully pursued.

WILSON WOULD NOT MEET DISTINGUISHED NEGRO Dr. Henriquez Carvajal Only Wanted to Free San Domingo of Oppressive American (Star News Service.) Kincheloe Robbins in current issue of The Nation says: "While dominating the sessions of the Peace Conference at Paris, Mr. Wilson, according to Ray Stannard Baker, busy as he was in his efforts to make the world safe for democracy, always found time to hear appeals for justice from the oppressed nationalities in Europe. Perhaps it was because of his devotion to the interests of small European nationalities that he had no leisure for matters nearer home. At any rate, when Dr. Francisco Henriquez y Carvalaj, who is still de jure President of the de jure Dominican Republic, went to Paris expressly to present his country's case to Mr. Wilson, in the expectation that the League of Nations might extend its benevolent supervision to the western hemisphere, Mr. Wilson could not find time to see him. When the President of the United States returned to America, Dr. Henriquez followed him. An attempt to arrange an interview with Mr. Wilson in New York having failed, Dr. Henriquez spent several weeks in Washington prior to the western speaking tour which ended with Mr. Wilson's illness. Pressure of public business made it impossible for Mr. Wilson to receive Dr. Henriquez in Washington at that time, so the Chief Magistrate of the erstwhile Dominican Republic decided to prolong his sojourn until Mr. Wilson completed his tour. While in Washington he got as far as the chief of a bureau in the Department of State, who suggested that he ought to present a brief, setting forth the arguments of the Dominican people against the permanent occupation of their country by the United States. The brief was prepared afd submitted, but brought no response. Dr. Henriquez lingered in the capital after the President's return until it became apparent that Mr. Wilson would be unable to transact any kind of business for many weeks, and finally returned to his home in Santiago de Cuba, where for many years he has been a leading physician." PASTOR FLAYS DANCE HALLS AND JOY RIDING "Watch Our Girls"—Tulsa Star Free of Charge Star News Service). OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Mar. 12. —"The joyrider is the greatest men- ace to society. Even motorcycles are used to carry girls. Fast driving is intoxicating, and with her nervous nature unstrung, the girl is an easy victim to degenerates even though they are in the guise of young sons of prominent families, declared Rev. I. Frank Roach, from the pulpit of the First Methodist Church last night, in opening the clean-up drive in this city. Next to joyrider, Dr. Roach blamed the public dance hall as contributing to the deliquency of young girls. This installment plan of buying expensive clothes came in for its share of the blame. As a remedy for the evil the minister prescribed the whipping post for the consorts of immoral women and the placarding of houses in which were veneral diseases. The campaign against alleged existing immornal conditions in Oklahoma City is being carried on by the welfare board with the active co-operation of the city ministers. The welfare board will meet tonight to take steps to procure $5,400 from the budget of the United Charities with which to carry out the work. WHOLE WORLD BROKE EXCEPT UNITED STATES But The Star Is Inclined to Believe The U. S. Is "Broke" in Sopts (The Star News Service.) NEW YORK, Mar. 12.—Count Bernstorff, formerly German Ambassador to America, is authority for the statement that the whole world is "broke" financially, except the United States. But The Star after looking again and again at a number of deinquent subscriber and advertising accounts on its ledger pages, is inclined to believe the United States must be "broke" in spots too.

PONCA CITY NEWS OBITUARY Francis $ \mathrm{C} $ hristian Gunn Little Francis Christian Gunn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alec. Gunn was born in Ponca City, Oklahoma, October 2, 1919, and passed away February 24, 1920, age 4 months and 24 days. Thus writes the brief story of a little life that came to bless a happy home for so short a time, a little flower that budded in purity to give out her sweet perfume for a season. A little sunbeam that for a while cast forth her beautiful rays upon those who loved her and brought such cheer and comfort into their lives. Looking through a darkened glass of the present her loved ones are heart-broken, but we should remember that our sorrow is only temporary and that our tears of sadness will soon be changed into rainbows of never ending joy, our heartaches transformed into praises of Eternal thanksgiving, and our home now broken into a home forever reunited in God's great Holy land of promise. The little Angel of Heaven that was loaned to this earthly home for only this brief season, has been recalled to her place on high. She has been lifted far beyond this vale of tears, heart-aches and sorrows. She has gone to make her play-house in the tented avenues of Heaven and to lend her sweetest childish smile to the Angels of Eternity. She leaves behind a living mother, father grand-parents, a brother and sister, uncles and aunts, other relatives and friends and while our hearts go out to these loved ones in tenderest sympathy, we must bow in submission to the will of God, for "the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh," and "blessed be the name of the Lord." Jesus wanted little Francis Christian for a sunbeam so, "Be still, sad heart and cease re-pining For behind the clouds, the sun's still shining. Thy fate is the common fate of all, For in each life some rain must fall. Some days must be dark and dreary. Presiding Elder Brookins held Quarterly Meeting at this place last Sunday, February 22, 1920. Elder Brookins preached two soul-stirring sermons to a large and appreciative audience. At both services the choir rendered excellent music, a good collection of $13.07 for the day was raised. The A. M. E. Church under the pastorate of Rev. H. Harris is coming to the front with a membership of twenty-one. They have plans under way for a new church to be constructed in the near future by the help of God the earnest co-operation of the members and friends. GEN. WOOD AND THE FARMER In a recent address Gen. Leonard Wood declared that one of the great problems confronting the American people was to be found in the statistics which show that farm population is rapidly decreasing at a time when the demand for food production is increasing enormously. "This trend from the farm to the city must be stopped," said the general. "And the manner in which it can be stopped must command the earnest attention of our statesmen without more delay." It is rather significant that in a day filled with political clamour and clashing ambitions; when many men are seeking to discover some popular issue on which they can ride into office, that one of them should disregard popularity and put his finger on what is unquestionably the great vital issue of the moment. For under-protection in foodstuffs is an increasingly grave problem inimately associated with every other problem of the day. The ranks of the consumers have been enormously increased at the expense of the producers. And the movement from the right side to the wrong side is going steadily on. That is an undisputed proposition. To correct this situation is to set at work a rule that will speedily abate all other economic difficulties, when the ranks of the producers are swelled to their proper proportions livings costs will largely adjust themselves and labor problems likewise. But so long as one man is charged with growing bread not only for himself but for several others, just so long will there exist a vicious economic endless chain to breed trouble incapable of solution in the political arena. It is evident that General Wood is thinking and thinking deeply. And it is also evident that his conclusions represent the best interests of the republic.-Tulsa World. "WILD AND WOOLLY" SOUTH- WEST IS TAMING DOWN Sheriff Neil Says Business Is Not What It Was Some Years Ago MIAMI, Okla. — Prohibition has transformed one of the wildest and wooliest counties in the Southwest to one where "nothin' ever happens." In 1917, Ottawa County, in the heart of the lead and zinc mining districts of Northeastern Oklahoma, had fourteen hundred arrests every year for major crimes. Bootlegging and crime were rampant. The Joplin saloons poured 157 varieties of liquor over the state line into the mining district and drug store bars were as common as soda fountains. Now Sheriff Neil arr gets drowsy doing nothing, according to his own admission. Nothing ever happens. Shioting scrapes, gambling and bootleggingare almost things of the past. Immorality is greatly decreased. Illicit traffic in liquor has practically disappeared since January 16. T. E. Brents, chief enforcement officer for Oklahoma, sees a new evil in "extract jags." He has warned merchants to be careful about keeping flavoring extracts with even a small percentage of alcohol. "There is virtually no transportation of liquor across the line into Oklahoma now," he said. "Arid dryness has cime with a rapidity that has surprised even the most optimistic federal enforcement officer." Attorney O. B.Jefferson of Muskogee spent Sunday and part of Monday in Tulsa.

HAMPTON, Va., Mar, 12.—General Pershing on his recent visit to Hampton Institute, spoke to the workers and students in Odgen Hall on the service of Colored soldiers. Gen. Pershing said, after listening to the singing of a number of plantation nclodies; "You have given me a few moments of extreme pleasure. A people who have music in their souls have much else that is worth while." General Pershing referred to the large percentage of illiteracy which was discovered among the young men of the United States when the draft Act was put into effect, and declared that the American people must reduce this illiteracy. He added, "This center of education is the greatest encouragement to the Colored race throughout the South. "Throughout the Spanish-American War I served with the Tenth United States Cavalry, composed of Colored troops. There was no regiment whose courage, fortitude, and bravery we were prouder of than we were of those characteristics in the Tenth Cavalry. Everyone in that regiment could be absolutely depended upon."

PITTSBURG CHRONICLE QUES. TIONS CONSISTENCY OF U. §. GOVERNMENT Federal Authorities Active in Enforcing Prohibition but Dormant on XIV and XV Amend- (A. N. P. Service), FITTSBURG, Mar. 12.—The Pittsburg Chronicle in a recent editorial questioned consistency of Federal authorities in enforcing amendments, as follows: "The point now raised merely emphasizes the disgraceful condition known to all, which has become a commonplace indeed, that the Negro accused of crime cannot be secured a fair trial, or any trial at all", in certain of our states. The Federal Constitution prescribes that such trial shall be the right of all. Indeed, its framers did not seeure the state of virtual anarchy, known by the contradictory term of lynch-"law", which was to prevail in a section of our country. They did not imagine any state would defy the plain provision of the Constitution in this regard and persist in their defiance. And it is this continued attitude of transgressing the --- fundamental Federal Law which has led to a demand for the enactment Congress of a statute striking directly at the lynching evil. There is a decided inconsistency in the Federal government's present activity in enforcing law upon all the states while ignoring the continuous violating of other laws that are equally a part of the Constitution." OUR YOUNG MEN HAVE GREAT POSSIBILITIES Dr. Emmett Scott Illustrates Serious Responsibility of the Educated Negro. NORFOLK, Va., March 12.—The Colored Young Men's Christian Association held its thirty second anniversary at St. John's A. M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon. Dr. Emett J. Scott, the principal speaker was introduced by Wm H. Rich, cashier of Brown Saving and Banking Company. Dr. Scott among other things said; "I am honored far beyond my deserts in being asked to speak here this afternoon in co-operation with the efforts to deepen interest in the work of the Young Men's Christian Association, among the Colored men and boys of Norfolk. "I would have the young Colored man of America see the vision of the great infinite possibilities which lies about them; I would have them appreciate the privilege and the opportunity that is before them of bringing into being in America a new conception of the destiny of their Race. There rests, therefore, upon the educated men of our Race, a great and serious responsibility. "In the great problem of reconstruction we are to find our way or make a way. In this great country of ours, there is no place for hatred, for distrust, for wrong among the Races which make up our polyglot population." Mr. R. M. Burton of 615 N.

SOUTHERN WHITE WOMAN EXPOSES WORLD'S SCANDAL "Miss Observer" in Baltimore American Pictures Chivalrous (?) Southern White Men as World Beaters in Moral Duplicity. (A N. P. Service) G. N. Y. SERVICE. BALTIMORE, Md., Mar. 12.—When it comes to upstanding, unquestioned propaganda of justice, a young white woman signing herself "Miss Critical Observer" puts the following story in the right place, The Daily Baltimore, American. Says "Miss Observer:" American white women for decades have been blindfolded and duped as to the Colored man. The Colored man has been held up before our eyes as a lustful and vicious creature. As a consequence, great masses of us, thru lack of individual experience, and because of ignorance of literature and statistics, bearing on the truth of the case, have come to believe the unwarranted and unfounded charge against the Colored man as a class. But the undeniable rockbottom truth is that Negro men are no more prone to commit heinous crimes against women than are other men. If there be any who doubt the truth of this statement let them make a comparative study of the statistics bearing on lecherous crimes against women and their doubts will vanish. The result of the comparison will be in favor of the Colored man. If I were to publish the figures I have on my desk I would startle my readers. Colored men in other countries such as Canada, Central America, South America, West Indies and Africa are not pictured as the arch assalants of women. In fact, it is said that the attitude of the native African toward women is superior in point of decency to that of men in the most highly cultured countries. When I am told that the Colored man is so lustfully inclined, I ask why it is that there are 4,000,000 mulattoes in the United States and that this number yearly increases. White men tremble before this question. They know they are responsible. Yet many of them are always telling us women about "Negro brutes" and "Negro rapists." In the South, my native home, where there is the loudest cry about "race separation and white purity" the greatest mingling of white and Colored women takes place. The South is the garden spot of mulattoes. It must not be assumed that white presentatives of the ANY OF CHICAGO, ILL., iced clothing.

Good commission to live agents. and money by P. O. Money Order --- women will always remain ignorant and indifferent to this fact. Many of us are wide awake and are thinking although only a few of us dare to express ourselves publicly on this question. Of course, I am intelligent enough to know the reason for this denunciation of the Colored man. One of the objects is to keep the gap as wide as possible between the white woman and the colored man. But why is there little or no effort to widen the gap between the white man and the Colored woman? Why are our men not punished for intimate relations with Colored women? No! This would interfere with white men's social freedom. Yet they arrogate unto themselves the role of supreme dictator as to the race and color of men with whom we must of must not mingle, while they will brook no interference as to the race or color of women with whom they mingle and become intimate. With all the emphasis at my command I affirm that the Colored man is not the unworthy creature that the press, platform, pulpit, and the movies have pictured him to be. The veil of illusion is being gradually removed from the white women's eyes." POOR SCHOLARSHIP COMPELS CHANGE IN SCHOOL SYSTEM Negro Children From South Unable to Do the Work in Northern (A. N. P. Service). AKRON, Ohio, March 12.—A home and school league made up of Colored persons having children in schools has been formed to co-operate with the board of education and the superintendent of schools to solve the school problems brought about by the large influx of Colored persons from the South, George W. Thompson, secretary of the Colored division of the Y. M. C. A. announced. Mrs. Thomas Dixon is chairman of the league. "We have found that a large number of children have come from the South who are not able to do the work of the grades in the Akron schools in which they were in the South because the school facilities which they have had are not equal to those of this city." "This league will endeavor to work with the school authorities in preparing a plan whereby the children will be placed in the proper places in the schools here." TULSA, THE MECCA FOR GRAND MASTERS Grand Masters Delancey and Smith Here on Official Business Tulsa apparently is as all important as Mecca is to the faithful worshippers of the prophet, Mohamet. Every day in the week and Sunday too, we have arriving and passing tuo' a numerous throng of fratern', church and school officials and dignitaries of our Race, and of course a multitude of others not known to fame. The Negro fraternal organizations of Oklahoma have increased in number and membership to such degree that the direction and conduct of their affairs require the constant daily attention of their numerous officers. The chief officers of the Odd Fellows, the U. B. F. and S. M. T. and the York and Scottish Rite Masons are frequently called to Tulsa. During present week, Grand Master P. M. Delancey put in a number of days here and gave our reporter an interesting account of the remarkable financial achievements of that popular order. For instance, he reports nearly $1500.00 collected during January quarter for endowment, burial and monument funds. G, M. Delancey spoke, in feeling terms of the late B. W. Bradley of Muskogee, who a number of years ago put his hands in his pockets, advanced nearly $2500 and rescued the order in Oklahoma from ruin. During his stay here, G. M. Delancey officiated at the installation exercises for five temples and two lodges. The event was one long to be remembered in U. B. F. and S. M. T. circles. The Rev. W. F. Smith, Grand Master of York Rite Colored Masons of Oklahoma, was in the city Tuesday enroute to Sand Springs. During his stay he settled a number of death claims, especially in the case of Mr. John Logan of Tulsa, who died last week, and another case at Weeleka. These Grand Lodge officials always have a hearty welcome here and have numerous friends both in and outside of the orders they represent. 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.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Mar. 9.—As I have been a constant reader of your splendid paper for over a year, I would like to submit to you the following statement which I hope you will find space in your paper to print. I have received one hundred and two letters from editors all over the country which on the whole expressed this statement, "I am not particularly interested in who is the nominee of the Republican party. It matters not what his name may be or what his vocation may be, if he is right on the question affecting my race and the business of this country, he is my candidate." I am in complete sympathy with the thought that he (candidate) must be right on the Race question, I would be a traitor if I were not, and I, also, believe that the candidate of the Republican party must be an out and out American, concerned primarily with the business of this country like Lincoln of old and the late Theodore Roosevelt. I take direct exception to the statement that it matters not what his (the candidate's) name may be; because, first this statement means nothing but evasion of the issue and savors of the usual political pussy-footing, and secondly because back of a candidate's name is the man and his record both of which can be studied.

So-called headaches, eye diseases, deafness, epilepsy, vertigo, insomnia, wry neck, facial paralysis, locomotor ataxia and other inco-ordinations are caused by pressure on nerves at this point. Pressure on nerves in this part of the spine is the cause of so-called throat trouble, neuralgia, pain in arms, goitre, nervous prostration, la gripe, dizziness, bleeding from nose, disorder of gums, catarrh and other so-called "diseases." Pressure on nerves here will cause so-called bronchitis, felons, pain between the shoulder blades, hay fever, writers' cramp, and other troubles. Nerve pressure at this point causes so-called nervousness, heart disease, asthma, pneumonia, tuberculosis, difficult breathing and other lung troubles. So-called stomach and liver troubles, enlargement of the spleen, pleurisy and a score of other troubles are caused by pressure on nerves in this part of the spine. At this point we find the cause of so-called gall stones, dyspepsis of upper bowels, revers, chingles, 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. editors have fearlessly chosen General Wood as the champion of the Square Deal to all men. What is the matter with the one hundred and two? The facts, the past records, and the present utterances, and platform of General Leonard Wood are open to all alike. Are we to forever go on leading only where there is darkness? I think the Colored people of the United States are entitled to know that General Wood is right on our question, that he is the only candidate up today to openly champion the cause of every American white or black who is in trouble and that it does matter to two million Colored voters what the candidate's name is for president of the greatest Democracy in the world. AMERICAN NEGRO PRESS NEWS NOTES CONDENSED WASHINGTON, D. C., March 12.—The "Church of Christ," a Negro organization, is enclosed in disseminating the doctrine of "back to the farm." At a recent solemn confirmation service held here in the 5th Church of Christ, Archbishop Higgs, clad in gorgeous purple robes, ordained two ministers as bishops, and he announced his purpose of placing a bishop in every large city. NEW YORK, N. Y. Mar. 12.—The annual report of the General Education Board, just made public, declares one of the principal needs of the Negro is leaders of his own race. The board is giving special attention to development of schools giving academic training in medicine, law, ministry and business. RICHMOND, Va., March. 12.—A meeting under auspices of Colored Voters' Club of Jefferson Ward held last week extended an invitation to the Colored woman of that ward to attend and hear addresses of Colored leaders. BALTIMORE, Md., Mar. 12.—Justice Robleder of the Northeastern police court of this city recently told a delegation of white women that he could do nothing to prevent a Negro family from moving in their neighborhood, as the higher courts had ruled against segregation.

BOSTON, Mass., Mar. 12.—Within a few years there will be no more lynchings of Negroes in the South, Dr Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute predicted in an address here. The Governors of North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky have pledged themselves that so far as is humanly possible, there will be no lynching in their states, while they are in office, he said: As an instance of what he said was "the very gratifying attitude of the best people of the South toward the Negro," Dr. Moton said the Governor of North Carolina recently recognized a Negro committee as "brothers."

N. P. Service). Now and then somebody pays an indirect and unintended compliment to the growing power and group consciousness of Colored Americans. Recently the enemies of the Negro race have "paid attention" to the Negro press. They have even "cussed" out the Colored papers in Congress and wanted to legislate them out of existence in that Graham Bill. That is the greatest recommendation ever given the Negro press. When they meant nothing and stood for nothing and had no sort of backbone about anything, nobody worried about them. Some people smiled patronizingly at their platitudes. When one got a little bolder than the rest, they killed it, as they did The Voice of the THE TULSA STAB. Saturday.

Negro in Atlanta Ga—But now the Negro press as a whole has risen to a tone and pitch that commands the ear of the Enemies of the Race. But the greatest compliment ever paid the growing consciousness of the Race, is the fact that the enemy is now beginning to worry over the kind of Leaders which the Negro race is appointing for itself. It need not be asserted and cannot be denied, that in the South the white people have generally "appointed" such Negro leaders as they saw fit. They did it indirectly; they would only listen to such and such a "level-headed" Negro—and when Colored people wanted to confer with white people, this Negro must be the medium thru which, however the Colored people might despise and distrust this very Negro. And, behold the other day a white Congressman shouted out words to the effect that white people had better begin to pay more attention to the leaders which they ordain for the Negro, lest the leaders which the Negro is appointing for himself get the better of the matter. He points out in plain words that the super-imposed leaders are beginning to be discarded by the Colored race, and asks that the white people who want "their Negroes" to stay on the job, had better begin to give extra attention to them and help to build them up in the regard of Colored people. The Congressman's idea is the old one; that whenever these favored leaders, ask for anything "for the Race," the whites must seem to give ear to it and hear it favorably so that the race will fall in line behind these usable leaders. To be brief and to the point, it is just like bear hunting; we set a trap and leave a piece of beef for the bear.—But in order that we might eat the whole bear later. It is up to the Negro race to open its eyes and consider in all such cases whether it wants a temporary or a permanent advantage. It is a plain issue.—Wm. Pickens. Mrs. N. M.

S. Want it. (A. N. P. Service.) NEW YORK, Mar. 12.—Speaking before a mass meeting called by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Metropolitan Baptist Church of New York, John R. Shillady, declared that with more state governors like Edwin Morrow of Kentucky, lynching and burning at stake could be ended in the United States. "Mobbism in the United States can be ended whenever the people of the United States want it ended," said Mr. Shillady. "Whenever the people make up their minds that the mob must be put down, its goverpeople of their communities toler-will act accordingly. "In the main governors and sheriffs allow Negroes to be lynched and burned and tortured, because the people of their communities tolerate such outrages. "With more governors like Edwin Morrow of Kentucky, the worst blot on American civilization can be expunged. When a lynching mob meets machine guns, its enthusiasm vapishes. Lexington, Ky. has fired another shot that will be heard around the world." POLICY OF SLAVERY PROMOTES RADICAL DISUNION American Negro Realizes that Organization Brings About Justice. NEW YORK, N. Y. March 12.-- Among the 15,000,000 Negroes in the United States, the realization is growing that they must organize to obtain justice, according to William Pickens, former dean of Morgan College, who spoke at a meeting held by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. "It is not the policy of Slavery," said Mr. Pickens, "or oppression to teach the enslaved or oppressed how to organize. Indeed, it is the policy of slavery to keep the enslaved apart, to discourage any contact that should make for exchange of thought "The state of half freedom which came to the Negro after the Civil War made organization among the members of his Race and its friends imperative, but past history had made such organization impossible of immediate realization. Many rival secret societies and warring church denominations sprang up among the Colored folk, but not until' about fifty years after the Civil War period was it possible to create an organization like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. "What appeals to some people as ground for criticism against the N. A. A. C. P., is in fact its greatest virtue and best security for success; that it consists of both white and Colored working together for the adjustment of matters between the races. "The Race question' is really the problem of both races, although we call it "The Negro Problem." That does not mean that it is the Negroes' question. There are two races concerned, and the matter cannot be settled with one race absent. Even the white race, which is the strongest race, could not settle the matter alone. "When ten years ago, Miss Mary White Ovington called together some white and Colored people and started the Association, then it was that the first real step was taken toward the solution of the problem of the half-free Negro in the United States." ALABAMA STATE TEACHERS HAVE UNUSUAL PROGRAM An "Inter-Racial Frendliness Meeting" Aims to Create Closer (Star News Service.) BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Mar. 12.—The teachers of the Colored schools of this state have arranged for a meeting to be held in this city March 31 to April 3. This conference promises to be of more than ordinary interest to both the teachers and the Colored people of Alabama, for the reason that the program has been made broad enough in scope to take up the discussion of the question of "Inter-Racial Friendliness," and an entire afternoon has been set aside for this purpose. An excellent program of addresses by noted Educators of both races has been provided. Dr. James A. Brag, president of this association, believes that this conference will initiate an era of greater educational progress for the Race, and at the same time bring about better and more amicable relations between the two races.

We believe in doing every thing we can to reduce the high cost of living; that's why we have so many satisfied customers. We spend the greater part of our time thinking and planning for the better of our business and our patrons.

Most housewives spend the day Satdays "cleaning house" and making preparation for Sunday and as a rule, are too tired to go shopping Saturday afternoon. This works a hardship on the woman who likes to see what she buys before buying it, in order that she may get the best. But the housewives who patronize this store have learned that they need not worry about dressing and going to town to buy their groceries and Meats, because we have proved to them that they can phone their order in and have it sent out by messenger all with the assurance that they will get what they order and that they will be Satisfied.

Mills is at home on N. Greenwood under the care of physicians who operated on him following the shooting and Jodie "Red" Carroll charged with the shooting, Howard Collins and others are in the county jail awaiting the results of Mills' wound. According to a statement made by Mills at his home Wednesday, the shooting was the result of a "frame up" on the part of the Carroll boy and his friends. One of the boys went to Mills' home and left word for him to go to the home of Bill Stevenson where the shooting occurred. Mills, it seems, went to the Stevenson home and as he entered the front door the Carroll boy opened fire on him. Two or three shots were fired one of which penetrated Mills' abdomen penetrating the intestines, leaving about thirty holes. Mills said he quickly pulled his gun and returned the fire. In the melee Howard Callins was shot through A. S.O. S. C A BIG BEN Minst A.S.O.S.CALL A BIG BENEFIT Minstrel Review Is being arranged for a Tulsa Presentation.

Officers failed to find "Red" Tuesday night, but Wednesday heurrendered to officer Henry Pack. Carroll stated to the officer that he shot in self defense after Mills had shot at him, and after Mills had said he had bought a gun to kill him. Little hope is entertained for Mills' recovery. BRIEF COMMENT CONCERNING NEGRO MAGAZINES The year 1919.1920 marks a wonderful stride in the publication of monthly magazines by the Negroes of this country. While for many years Colored men and women, too, have ventured into this field, yet their productions as compared with the ordinary monthly magazines published by the whites, were not to their credit. In fact, many of their attempts at magazine publishing have been puerile, and even prepossierous in their pretension. It must be understood however, that to undertake to publish a book, and that is what a magazine is, once a month on time for a year is no small job. One of its greatest obstacles is the general indifference of the Negro reading public to such publications and secondly, the prevalent habit of the more intelligent classes of Negroes to heartily approve of such a journal, provided some one else pays for them. Despite these and others including the H. C. L., we have on our desk several very creditable monthly publications, issued by our Race. The Woman's Voice, published by Somerville Z. Fauntleroy, at 1924 Fitzwater street, Philadelphia, Pa., dedicates itself "By Women, For Women and Of Women," and underlakes to serve as a medium through which "Woman" can express her hopes, ideas and ideals. Certainly this journal has a wide field for its striving, and from a perusal of its pages, we are inclined to believe it worthy of support, not alone by women, but by men also. The March issue discusses man as a a "Logical Animal." Quite so, he is the logical animal to uphold this brave venture of the Negro Women of the Race with subscriptions a plenty. 418 E. Archer PAGE SEVEN The World Work published under auspices of the Home Mission and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church at 150 Fifth ave., New York, so far as its October 1911 issue is concerned is the equal of any white magazine of its class usually found on news-stands. We are highly pleased with its pictorial cover in handsome colors and congratulate the publishers on the numerous portrait engravings which appear throughout the book. Also a double paged engraving representing Egypt as the back ground of the Negro race is finely executed. The World Outlook is indeed worthy of substantial support from the Race and our prayer is that the Outlook may continue through years to come and gain greater strength with the years.

Chollonghclezise who heads the organization known as the International Etheopian Rescue and Relief Conference with branch organizations all over the country, This criticism and abuse, however, looses its weight when it is considered that the Prince in persecuting the policy of his organization has done no harm to any one in or out of the organization, but on the contrary, has done much to elevate the black people of this country as a whole, Since the Prince came to Oklahoma and organized several branches of his organization the con mercial standing and economic conditions of the Race have been ma terially advanced, This organization now operates a department store at Okmulgee giving employment to at least a halt dozen members of the Race, ther: by making it possible for many more. At Earlsboro, Oklahoma, « branch of this organization owns a two story business house in which they will soon open a department stor and the same branch is now planning to install a flour mill and a gin This week the Prince visited another branch at Haskell, Oklahoma, to complete arrangements for installing a gin, AML of these enterprises are being or will be conducted by members of our group on money furnished by our own people, If the Prince does pothing more he has already done more for the Race than any other Colored man in the state has done (or white man either, for that amtter) and he is entitled to what honor or anything else he can get out of it As a rule, it is the fellow who does nothing of any consequence himself who does the most criticizing, Honest criticism is alright, but when prompted by jealousy and envy and coming from those who have done nothing for the Race it becomes highly nauseating. Any man who can successfully organize Colored men for their own betterment is a God-Send to our people and should be encouraged in his efforts. We believe in the old policy of “giving the Devil his dues.” pe ean eae BETTER UNDERSTANDING between the races and anshonest ad justment of economic conditions in America is absolutely necessary for the welfare of both racial groups in this country and the sooner this policy is adopted in every community the better it will be for the peo ple of both races, Lack of mutual understanding is the direct cause of most of our racial conflicts, The better element of both races should do away with the calamity howler and the hoodlums and co-operate for the common good of the common people. Until this is done there will be no permanent peace between the races. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to make a good citizen out of a man who is denied the essentials of citizenship. While America is stretching the limit in efforts to raise Far East Releif Funds, it would be well to re- member the deplorable living conditions that more than ten million of our own citizens are forced to live under. =§-+—__—__—_ SO FAR as the Colored people are concerned, the entire city admin- istration is good enough and they will vote accordingly next ‘Tuesday and in the general election next month, —_—_o—____. WHEN YOU VOTE Tuesday lay aside personal malices, forget selfish ambitions and vote for men who have already proved thei merit as men who believe in the future of Tulsa and who will give every citizen a square deal.

Claude A, Barnet, president, in its latest news dispatches, after’ referr- ing to its highly efficient and capa- bic service as purveyors of Negro news to the Negro weeklies of the country, issues a call for a national mceting of all editors and publishers of our group to be held here during ‘the session of the National Republi- can Convention in June, The catl pertinently sets forth a number of valid reasons for holding such a meeting and emphasizes it as a ‘good time for al) Negro quill push. ‘ers to get together, With the pro- ‘verbal hospitality of Chicago in Con- vention times, the A. N. P, officials “announce that every preparation is being made to assure the time of thei: lives to all Negro editors wh» “attend.

NEW YORK, Mar, 12.—A corres- pondent has at last given the Am-9 crican world a translation of sever- al words, which to the American mind on account of the news dis- patches from Russia are inseparab- }y associated with anarchy, murder! and terrorism of some sort. On the contrary, the words are meaning- less in the sense as we understand them, and really mean no more and no less than the English words, af- ter their translation do to us. ‘The <orrespondent explains that “bolshe- vism" means majority, and its oppo- site4s “menshevism” or minority. There were two political parties in Russia the “bolshevists” and the ‘“nenshevists,” the former in major- ily and the latter in minority. Hence the two words are derived. “Soviet” is translated into council, and mere- ly names the political organizations in city and country, which thro’ delegates to other higher councils ultimately elects the president, or highest executive,
