Thousands View Body of Man Who Was Arrested, Indicted, Tried, Convicted, Sentenced and Executed in Less than 24 Hours. SAN AUGUSTINE, Tex., Mar, 23 --Previous Texas court records involving the death penalty probably were broken here today when John Hood Price, 43, Negro, was legally hanged for the recent murder of John Kennedy, farmer, less than 24 hours after his arrest and conviction. The Negro was captured yesterday afternoon and placed in jail here at 4:30 o'clock. He was quickly indicted on a murder charge by a special grand jury ODD FELLOWS HOME NOW ASSURED Grand Master Says Work Will Soon Start on $15,000 Structure at Rendiesville. The Colored Odd, Fellows of Oklahoma are to have a home—a real home—and the near future at that, if the plans of Grand Master E. D. Jefferson matures, and no one who knows the Grand Master and his indomitable will power, the tenacity with which he hangs on to anything he starts, will ever doubt his ability to succeed in his project until it is actually pronounced a failure. Citizens of Rentiesville some time ago donated forty acres of land to the Odd Fellows for the purpose of building a home and since that time Mr. Jefferson has been actively engaged in raising the necessary funds to erect a handsome stone and brick edifice at an approximate cost of $15,000. The stone for the building has been found within 200 feet of the building site in the ground given by Rentiesville citizens. The Grand Master is very much enthused over the work and says he intends to build the home in spite of all handicaps. HEAD OF LANGSTON U. PAYS TRIBUTE TO TULSA BOYS President Marquess Says Training of Tulsa Basketball Team Superior to Langston Team. The following letter from President J. M. Marquess of Langston University addressed to the editor of the Star may be read with gratification by the High School boys of Tulsa who formed the basketball team that recently defeated the Langston team. The president also takes just pride in acclaiming the girl team of his school the undisputed champions of the State, having acquired the title in the defeat of the Tulsa girls Friday night of last week. The letter in full follows: Hon. A. J. Smitherman, Editor, Tulsa Star, Dear Friend Smitherman:— I was very much interested in the article which appeared in the Tulsa Star headed "Tulsa Puts One Over Langston." Of course, I appreciate the fact that this is a newspaper story and that there are certain license which go with them, but for your information, I want to say that the game was fast and the Tulsa aggregation was much the ```markdown ``` THE TULSA STAR and a trial jury immediately sworn in. A night session was held in the county court, at which Price was found guilty and sentenced to death. A large crowd surrounded the court house in the evening, but any possibility of attempted violence was averted when a brother of Kennedy asked that justice be permitted to take its course as speedily as possible. Nearly 2,000 persons at 11 o'clock today silently watched Price mount the scaffold hurriedly erected in the public square. They quietly dispersed after the trap was sprung. John Kennedy was shot and killed at his home near here on March 18, two charges from a shotgun having been fired through a window. It was learned that Price and Kennedy had a dispute the previous day. Search was instituted for Price and he was arrested at Alto yesterday. superior in training, and the victory that they won they deserved. But it also happens that that was the first game of inter-scholastic basketball which the boys here had ever played. We did not feel the least bit humiliated over the defeat by Tulsa we expected it. But we were very much pleased with the showing which the boys made. In that our young ladies whipped, both Tulsa and Nowata and are now the undisputed champions of the State, I would appreciate your giving that conspicuous mention. I want to compliment Tulsa on sending to the University for the game here such a splendid set of young men. They played a good, fast game, and their department while here won for them the admiration of us all. When I read your editorial in your issue of March 20th beginning "Seems Rather Strange," I thought that surely the young men of the team and those who made up a party of nineteen which came over the evening of March 13th, had not been exposed to any of the influences about which their seems to be some complaint in your thriving city. With kindest personal regards, and trusting that you will drop in to see us in the near future, I am Very respectfully yours J. M. MABOUESS.

All those who have purchased tickets for the occasion should hold the same until that time. A misunderstanding as to the meeting dates of one of the lodges is given as cause for the postponement. This will be the first ball of its kind to be given in Tulsa and present indications are that it will be one of the big social events of the season. A number of white people have purchased tickets for the occasion and will attend as spectators. TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, MARCH, 27, 1920. © Walinger Who is making a strong bid among the Negroes for the Presidency WOOD "LOGICAL" CANDIDATE FOR COLORED AMERICANS (By Edgar G. Brown) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Mar. 28.-- Along the rank and file of the people the question is being asked: "How can we support anyone but Leonard Wood? He is right on the Race question—as was said in the motion made before the Colored voters of Indiana assembled in Indianapolis by Atty. Tidrington Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and seconded by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robt. L. Brokenburr "We, the Colored voters of Indiana, are for General Wood, first last and all the time primarily because he has the courage to champion the rights of truly 100 per cent American citizens, the American Negroes." Mr. Tidrington headed the delegation from Indiana to the Lincoln League and was one of those present who had had a chance to compare Governor Lowden and General Wood. It is significant that Mr. Tidrington pointed out that what we need today is a military man to stamp out mob violence and lynching and a man whose words are respected like Theodore Roosevelt's and the good General's own words at Gary and Omaha when he said, "The rights of all must be protected." And now following the rejection of Governor Lowden by the Colored Republicans of Missouri assembled in St. Louis because of his attitude toward the East St. Louis riot and his misleading statements at the Chicago riot, the Colored Republicans in Ohio have taken up arms against Senator Harding under the fearless leadership of Honorable Ralph Tyler because he refused to recognize 150,000 Colored voters by refusing them a delegate to the Chicago Convention and Senator Harding returned last week from Texas where he went on the invitation of the 'lily whites.' General. Wood true to his record left a place open for a Colored delegate. Here is Gen- eral Wood's statement, "I know no American by his color." "A vote for Wood means a vote for the Race," was adopted for the Indiana slogan at the primaries. ELKS' BALL A HIGH CLASS SOCIAL EVENT Convention Hall Spectacular Scene of Chivalric Elks and Most Handsome Women The Elk's Ball given last Friday night at Convention Hall easily eclipsed all similar events ever staged in Tulsa. It was a success in every detail and illustrated the efficient services of those Elks upon whose shoulders the preliminary arrangements had been placed. From the ticket takers at the door to those who so deftly served punch at the buffet, every thing moved with clock like precision and regularity. The Elk's ball served not only as a matter of intense interest to local society devotees, but drew to Tulsa quite a large number of noted professional and society people from Oklahoma City, Muskogee, Sapulpa, Okmulgee and other cities. The large and spacious dance floor of Convention Hall and the surrounding dress circle seats and lobby were filled comfortably with a throng of gallant men, attired in conventional evening suits and beautiful women handsomely gowned in diaphanous filmy and silken garments, which together with their brilliant eyes and graceful forms contributed to make a panoramic scene of beauty long to be remembered. This entertainment was arranged and promoted chiefly by the Messrs. C. E. Corbett, Exalted Ruler, Cosmopolitan Lodge, No. 247, J. E. Hardy, Secretary and Ed. Howard, Master of Social Sessions. For their services, this order is due to commend them most highly indeed. The Messrs, Lewis and Carroll at the punch buffet and Messrs, Chas, Harris, J. L. Wooden and Chas, Taylor in Check Room, rendered satisfactory and commendable services. Mr. J. T. Pressley, of the Red Wing Hotel, likely had the most enviable Just A Straight Democrat, Please Just A Straight Democrat, Please While endeavoring to consume enough food to keep soul and body together on the meager means of a newspaper reporter, a Star reporter, scaled at one of the immaculate white tables in the Red Wing Cafe yesterday, overheard a conversation between J. T. Prestley, proprietor of the place and acting registrar for precinct 23, and a certain married woman who is well known in this city, which conversation was indicative of the attitude being assumed by Colored women of this city in the new field opened up to them in politics. The woman had come to register. The registrar, had asked her the usual questions necessary for him to record the color of the skin, the hair, the eyes, etc and finally he reached the all-important question. No, not her age; no sensible registrar would dwell on this question joe on this occasion, as it fell to his let to present a most beautiful artificial rose to each lady present, and hence had opportunity of exchanging eye glances with the most beautiful set of Colored women ever gathered together at one time in Oklahoma. The music furnished by the orchestra was delightfully rendered and enjoyed by all dancers. Out of Town Guests. A very large number of out of town Elks and their wives and lady friends attended this great society event. Among the many the Star reporter was able to gather the names of the following: Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Holmes, Excelsior Springs, Mo.; Miss Zephyr Davis, Dennison, Tex.; P. A. Chappell, Dr. A. J. Johnson, Henry Steward and Miss Bernice Carroll, Sapulpa, Okla.; Dr. A. P. Bethel, Herbert T. Jones, Jack Clardy, Eddie Brown, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Lyons Mr. and Mrs. A. G.

"What do you mean," came the puzzled reply from the lady. "Do you wish to register as a republican or as a democrat," kindly explained the registrar. "Oh!" exclaimed the suffragette with a winsome smile. "No republican for me; just a plain straight democrat, please." And thus was recorded one more unit power for the democratic forces among the Colored women of this city. "Surely," mused the scribe as the last bean disappeared all too soon "our women are not all movies in the political world." And they are not, if they are to be judged by the good common sense they are manifesting in diversifying their politics years connected with the Star, last Saturday resigned his position as managing editor to take up his new duties as manager of the Oklahoma Sun, which will be the euphoneous sobriquet of Tulsa's newest paper. The following statement was voluntarily written and signed by Mr. Baughman and handed to the News Editor before he left the office Saturday: "After two year's of business affiliation with Hon. A. J. Smitherman, as managing editor of The Tulsa Star, his excellent paper, I have resigned his position to accept another as manager of "The Oklahoma Sun." Editor Smitherman has one of the best equipped offices owned by the Race, and during my connection with same, he has treated me with every consideration, and I am leaving with only the best of wishes for his continued success. He has faithfully fulfilled every promise made me, and has, on various occasions, done more than was in the contract. During the time I was with him, I always found him fighting for our Race and I trust the members of the Race will continue to give him every encouragement, to which he is justly entitled. I will always have the kindest of feeling for him and ask those who assisted me, to continue to help The Star and THEO. BAUGHMAN." During his connection with this paper, Mr. Baughman was faithful in the discharge of his duties, and leaves with the best wishes of the entire staff. Besides the money raised by Colored men to launch this new paper, amounting, it is said to something like $2,000.00, the white republicans have advanced about $3,000.00, if reports are true. Mr. Baughman left Sunday night for Oklahoma City to buy printing equipment and to make arrangement for the printing of the first issues of the paper. The office of the Sun will be located in the Woods building on North Greenwood. Harry Abbott who has been running a small print shop in the rear of a barber shop on Greenwood has turned over his press and type to the new concern and is himself one of the stockholders or a member of the company.

M. Burr, employed as a teacher in one of the Schools of this city, was mentioned as one of principal. The article was an impartial report of news as obtained from reliable sources and was published without malice to any of the parties concerned. J. M. Burr came into the Star office before the article was published and said he had been advised that such article would appear, and endeavoured by special request and the jingle of a few silver dollars in his pocket to have the article kept out of the paper. This, of course, he could not do, and he left the office. The article appeared, and was forgotten so far as the Star office is concerned, until Thursday morning when we received the following letter from Denney and Allen, a white law firm of this city: Tulsa, Oklahoma, March 23, 1920. A. J. Smitherman, Publisher of Tulsa Star, Dear Sir: in, Ausa Star, at J. M. Burr, who is making prep just you for liable, because the publ under day of March 20th, 1920. Burr feels very much of aggrieved to your liability concerning the pat in our judgement your article reputation and good name. In the ledged communication, and in the we like that, lessens a man's influer him up to public contempt, and ri the community as a teacher of good anger element. questiin in our mind as to your liab have decided we would submit the to adjust the matter without li- portunity to do so. We represent J. M. gan action against you in your paper under day Professor Burr feel with us relative to you We represent J. M. Burr, who is making preparation who began action against you for liable, because the publication appearing in your paper under day of March 20th, 1920. Professor Burr feels very much of aggrieved and has advised with us relative to your liability concerning the matter and we have told him that in our judgement your article was libelous and injurious to his reputation and good name. In the first place this was an unprivileged communication, and in the second place, to publish an article like that, lessens a man's influence, damages his reputation, holds him up to public contempt, and ridicule and ruins his standing in the community as a teacher of good morals, and a leader of the younger element. There is no question in our mind as to your liability and before filing suit we have decided we would submit the matter to you, and if you desire to adjust the matter without litigatiin, we will give you an opportunity to do so. rs say, that in their judgement, rous to Burr's "reputation and go attempt to discuss the legal phase at our legal training has not been above letter. These lawyers say, that in their judgement, the article was libelous and injurious to Burr's "reputation and good name," etc. We will not attempt to discuss the legal phase of the question, for the reason that our legal training has not been as extensive as the writer of the above letter. But our legal conception of "libel" does not agree with that of Denny and Allen. It is quite true that "libel," according to our training, is a noun meaning defamation of character or reputation, in the first case; any writing or printing calculated to injure the reputation or character of a person and thus bring such person into public contempt, in the second case, "Libel" as a transitive verb, means the printing or publishing of a libelius statement against a person. According to our conception of the law, a newspaper is guilty of libel when it publishes false statements about any person, but may publish anything against anybody, so long as it is true. As to Burr's "good name," if he had any, he lost it when he lost his temper and began cursing those who were seeking to fellowship him into their organization. By his conduct on this occasion he was adding to a reputation he had already made in Tulsa and elsewhere. As to his character—well a man's character is usually reflected in his conduct. Judging from this, Burr's character is no better than his reputation. The Tulsa Star is a newspaper. It does not make the news, but after it is made the Star or any other newspaper may publish it. That's exactly what was done in Burr's case. We simply published his conduct and we have ample substantuation of everything published about him and a great deal more. The Star has no desire at this time to pull back the curtain and reveal "Professor Burr" in his true light, but if it becomes necessary we can certainly do it. Burr is not the character of man to be employed as a teacher of our boys and girls and no one knows this better than he. His usefulness to the schools of this city is at an end and he himself ended it. Unfortunately, Burr has deceived many of us in Tulsa. No other way could he have gone as far as he has. So far as his threatened libel suit is concerned, the editor of this paper has nothing to fear. We await patiently the next move of "Professor" Burr. In the language of the lamented Shakespeare we say to Burr and his attorneys, "Lay on MeDuff, and damned be he who first cries, 'hold, enough.'" THE TULSA WORLD seems to be very much perturbed over the probability of the re-election of the present administration. On the editorial page of our illustrous contemporary is carried daily what might be called a "hand picked" ticket of five republicans and one democrat. This ticket the World would put into office, because the Wirld says they are the class of men that Tulsa needs. They are spotless and infallable, according to the World. But that the majority of the people of Tulsa do not agree with the World in its position in the present campaign was very clearly shown by the votes polled in the primary election, and will be reaffirmed in the final decision to be registered in the general election. Some of us still remember a few months ago when the World was decidedly pro-Hubbard and published flattering editorials about the keen foresight, business sagacity etc., of our Mayor, and we are wondering what has happened to give the World a change of heart. HON. RICHARD J. HILL, one of Tulsa's foremost citizens and a writer of note and ability, whose writings on Truth have appeared in the columns of this paper heretofore, resumes his writing with this issue of the Star, after several weeks omission, due to pressing business matters. A number of our readers have expressed a desire to keep up with Mr Hill's articles and these, as well as many others will doubtless be pleased to again meet Mr. Hill through these columns. We commend him and his able writings to those who are earnestly seeking food for thought. HAVE YOU REGISTERED? If you have been in the State one year, in the County six months and in the precinct thirty days, you are entitled to a vote in the approaching election. If you are interested in Tulsa and your own future well being, it is your imperative duty to register and vote on election day. Do your duty.

Fraternal organizations, insurance companies, ministers, teachers and everyone dealing with the masses so should see that every Negro's home in their communities is supplied with this almanac. A noted surgeon says: "Every one of us has a part in public health. To ourselves and our family, we owe the duty of keeping in the best possible physical condition, to our community and Nation we owe the duty of helpful co-operation to improve and conserve the health of those about us." This is a sound and essential doctrine to be preached during our National Health Week and to be stressed every day thereafter. The most valuable facts and suggestions for the protection and promotion of good health have been assembled by the Government experts in this book. Every mother, for the protection of her children and home should have a copy. The alarm now being sounded throughout the country by our physicians is that the masses of the Race need a lasting protection against their common physical ills because of the terrible toll exacted by preventable diseases—against patent medicines for which immense fortunes have been expanded by deluded members of the Race. Negro Health Week will feature a decided crusade against unsanitary privies against careless spitting at home and in public places and against other thoughtless and careless acts on the part of many which help such epidimics as Influenza. The Medical Associations and workers for the uplift of the Race are asking that these important things be stressed from the pulpit of every Negro church, every school, theatres and public places during National Negro Health Week. Messrs. Thos. W. Jones and Andy Johnson of Fort Smith, Arkansas; were visitors in the city Monday and Tuesday. Mrs. Beaulah La Mar who for the past month has been visiting her mother in Gainesville, Texas, has returned to her home in this city. The Ladies' Art Club was entertained Wednesday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Felix Mitchell, 321 North Elgin. COLORED LAUNDRY IS LATEST ENTERPRISE FOR TULSA The Caver's French Dry Cleaning Works have moved into its new home on East Alder street and in addition to the regular line of making, cleaning and pressing clothes will operate a modern steam laundry. New machinery has been installed and additional help employed to assist in operating the business. This is the first steam laundry to be owned and operated by members of the race in this city and there is every reason to believe that it will prove a glorious success. H. J. Caver is sole proprietor of both the laundry and the tailoring department, Mr. Carver is one of the progressive citizens of this city and is doing much towards lifting up the standard of the Race. GEO. W. CHANDLER'S FUNERAL NUMEROUSLY ATTENDED He Was One of Muskogee's Best Known and Widely Admired Young Married Men. (Star News Service). MUSKOGEE, Mar. 27.—The funeral obsequies of the late Geo. W. Chandler, one of Muskogee's most promising young men, took place from the First Baptist Church at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, the new pastor, Rev. J. T. Johnson, formerly of Athens, Ga., officiating Other pastors taking part in the ceremonies were the Revs. T. M. Greene, Amos, Cox and North. The music program had been especially prepared for the occasion and among those who took a conspicuous part were Mesdames L. A. Clark, A. C. Perdue, Joseph Marsh, Miss Nellie Mae Johns, and the M. T. H. S. Boys Glee Club. The Choir of the church rendered several appropriate numbers. The Alumni Society of the Manual Training High School prepared a set of resolutions which were read by Miss Hattie Earnest. The pall bearers were the Messrs Robert Smith, Robert Morris Leroy Kemp, William Ragsdale, Jr., Frank Brown, Edgar Twine and Roy Hammons, all former friends and classmates of the deceased. The casket, a most beautiful one indeed, was covered with white quilted satin, and possibly the most expensive ever seen in Muskogee. The top was covered profusely with the most beautiful flowers that could be bought and were sent by the many friends of the family. George Chandler was 22 years old and had only recently been married to Miss Scott, one of Muskogee's rich young women. He had every prospect of a most successful career ahead of him, and was cut down on the threshold of early manhood by the dread scourge—tuberculosis. It was the universal comment of all present at the funeral that his young bride had presented a most emulat. devotion to her beloved husband during his illness and through the sad ceremonies incident to his burial which culminated in a vault at Oid Agency: Mrs. Letha King was a pleasant caller at the Star office and left an order for printing. THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, March. 27, 1920. Lark Mills on Way to Recovery. Much to the surprise of the physicians who attended him and to the joy of his relatives and friends, it is reported that Lark Mills who two weeks ago was shot and dangerously wounded by "Red" Carroll, is now on his way to recovery with excellent chances for life in his favor. Carroll, who was arrested following the shooting of Mills, has been released because, the authorities say, no one has filed a complaint against him for the crime. ALONG THE REAL ESTATE LINE According to information furnished by some of the real estate dealers of Tulsa, the Colored people of this city are buying homes in surprisingly great numbers. Never before have members of the Race in this city manifested more interest in home buying. A number of transactions in real estate have taken place this week and real estate men say they anticipate even a greater business later in the spring. Through the agency of Thos. R. Gentry, prominent real estate man of this city, George Hardy and W. H. Hicks each purchased a house and lot this week. E. R. Brown, proprietor of the Brown's Cafe on North Cincinnati one day this week purchased the Doosey home on North Greenwood for the consideration of $4,000.00. New Addition to Tulsa is Opened. The Dunbar Addition to Tulsa is the latest venture in real estate transactions in the Colored section of the city. This addition is located at the end of North Greenwood and is being sold in half acre tracts by Berry and Hart, a well known real estate firm of this city. This firm has sold more property to Colored people than any other firm in Tulsa. Thos. R. Gentry is one of the sale agents for this property and reports that he has already sold several of the lots for $1,000 each. Mr. Gentry says property has advanced in price and that there is little likelihood of a decrease in value. STAR NEWS SERVICE RACE NOTES Pertinent Paragraphs Portraying Persistent Progress. The Inter Church World Movement sessions at New Orleans, LA., last week were interrupted by the withdrawal in a body from the hall of seventy-five Negro ministerial delegates. This action followed the refusal of the demand by W. Scott Chinn, Methodist Evangelist, that Color restrictions be removed in the seating arrangements. The Senate branch of New York Legislature recently unanimously adopted the bill providing for increase in teachers' salaries. The New York City's schools are mixed, quite a number of Colored teachers are employed and thus will be benefitted. The Young Women's Christian Association of New York City recently held a monster public meet- ing at the Palace Casino attended by 2500 people. Mrs. Reverdy Ransom presided and Ex.Governor Whitman was one of the speakers. The Young Men's Christian Association of Augusta, Ga., recently held a very successful meeting attended by both white and Colored people. Dr. Nilcholas Butler, president of Columbia University, N. Y., made an address fearlessly discussing the problems of the Nation. The Colored women of Staten Island, N. Y., organized a Women's Political Union on March 26th and adopted plans for exercising an active interest in political affairs. The Colored leaders of the State of New Jersey last week presented arguments before the Senate Judiciary Commission urging enforcement of the Civil Rights Bill passed by the Jersey legislature in 1917, providing against refusal of Negroes at restaurants. The basketball season in Greater New York ended in discord and the Spartans and St. Christopher Basketball teams both claim championship. President of Deaconess Board. Muskogee, Mar. 27.—At a recent meeting of the Board of Deaconesses of Ward's Chapel A. M. E. Church Mrs. Celeste Buckingham, formerly of St. Joseph, La., and now a resident of this city, was unanimously chosen president. Pastor Greene says, the newly elected president is one of the most faithful and energetic members of his congregation, and he is looking forward to greater work by this board from now on.

The entire Supreme Court of the State of Mi rois will hear the case in April and pass on it in June, No case before the public has ever interested the people more than that of Dr, Bundy who was convict- ed because of the St. Louis riots, of murder in the first degree and sen teuce to the Penitentiary at Chester, Minois, for the rest of his natural Ute Dr. Bundy was convicted in March 1919 and has been in. the Penitentiary for about a year.

(Star News Service), HAMPTON, Va, Mar.26.—That the white people of this country in the North as well as in the South need te exercise the spirit of justice and kindness toward the Negro was made clear by Dr, James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in his recent Carnegie Hall (New York) address before the friends of Tuskegee and Hampton. Dr, Gregg suid: “No new scheme of profit-sharing of welfare work, of shop commit- tees of public-health supervision, of government control or government operation of industry; no new po litical or economic program is goint to work without unselfish, hard working men and women behind i! and without the right — spiritual forces. “President Hadley touched — this truth when he spoke to the Yalé graduates last June of ‘intelligent unselfishness,’ as did President Elio! vhen he described President Roose velit as ‘a high-minded public ser vent? “This new spirit that our times demand may be said to be com- pounded of justice and kindness. which are not opposed but are con: plementary. Indeed, neither can be perfect without the other, “White people often neglect the Negro’s own feelings, They think that they know best what is just and what is kind to him, They too often decide on what is ‘best’ for ‘him without asking him. The Ne xo must stand on his merits, but he iaust have a man's chance industri lly, politically, socially, and educa- tionally, This Tuskegee and Hamp. ton are striving to give the Negro.” UTILITY CLUB PUTS ON GREAT STUNT Bressed im Fashions’ Latest, They and Their Lady Friends Occupied Boxes at Operetta.

B, McCoy, . 7‘ zs FOURTEEN REASONS Why Provision Should Be Made for a Sjate-Wide Tax-Levy for the Support of the Public Schools of the State. 1. There is an emergency in educa- ticn—140,000 teachers left the pro. fession during the last year, Many of their places are filled by young or incompetent teachers, and many vacancies yet exist, 2. The great majority of those who left the teaching profession did® so to enter positions offering better pay; hence, it is evident that they Were of the more ambitious, intelti- ‘gent and progressive class. a As these have left the teaching business, and others in great num- bers will doubtless follow, to eater better paying positions, it is cleat that the only way to meet the emer- weney is to secure better pay for teachers, 4, A very great number of districts are now’ levying the maximum limit of fifteen mills, and this in many places is found to be inadequate and it will be inadequate in far more Paces next year, to provide the sal- ary funds necessary to keep the best texchers in the profession, 5. In districts where the limit is not being levied, they are in many cases having short terms of schoo! with poorly paid teachers, 6, Education is not a local affair lis cause is state-wide, ‘and the State should protect its interests and help to support it. 7. The cities are dependent upon the poorer rural districts for theit existence and support, and the sup. port is made possible only by mak ing the rural districts such that the farmer can afford to keep his child- ren there, and he can not afford to kvep them where there are not good schools; hence, the welfare of the ities demands that good schools be provided for the rural districts. 8A six-mill state-wide tax levy will amount to about fifteen dollars to each boy and girl of school aye in the state, and will almost double the amount of school funds now available. 9 Such levy will guarantee all ru rai districts.a good school with well paid teachers, even where schoo! boards are not progressive, and will Cat ble towns and cities to meet. the emergency confronting them, 10, Such levy will give the boys and girls in the poor districts mort carly an equal opportunity with the boys and girls in cities or o! wealthy districts. 11. Where the limit is now suffi vient or’ unnecessary, the six-mil ievy will reduce the present loc: levy by six-mills and not hurt th district, be it rural or city. 12. With good pay or even ‘the prospect of good pay, the best teach evs will remain in the business many well qualified teachers wh have left it will return ‘to it, anc our normal schools and the educa tional departments of other institu tions of learning will become fille: with the best and brightest of out young men and women who wil svon become prepared for teachin: and thus supply the depleted rank of the profession; yet, it will, at th very best, require three or fou ycars to replenish the teaching for ees with teachers as competent a they were in pre-war days. 13." When the ranks fill the stand ards of qualification will be raise¢ and we will then, and not unti then, be able to eliminate the incom petent teachers, 44, The children—our future mer and women—deserve our best ef. forts and unstinted help.

NEGRO POETS ARE GOD'S MESSENGERS Poets are More Potent than Preach- ers and Politicians Against Wrong, Says Virginia ‘Scholar. (A. N, P. Service). CHICAGO, IL, March 27—In a specially prepared statement for the Associated Negro Press, Prof. Robt. ‘T, Kerlin, of the Department of Eng- lish in the Virginia Military Insti. tate, Lexington, Virginia, makes a very pertinent comment with refer- ence to the high appreciation of the poets in our group, “I have never assumed the role of adviser or preacher to the Colored people of America,” says Prof. Kerlin, “but am impelled to make an exception for once—in a worthy cause. Are you ‘us «u Race supporting your poets? You are getting together _manfully ‘ia business, in politics, in labor, in education, in charitable and relig- ions works. Racial consciousness is strongly asserting itself throughout ‘the whole domain of your life with this one exception, You do not— like many other Races—value your poets at their worth, You are will- ing to let them furnish you the very bread of life you permit them to suifer for the mere bread of exis- tence, Is this right? Is it wise? “Your poets are your prophets. ‘Today they have a flaming message. They are embodying your ideals, your aspirations, your sufferings, your prayers, your protests, in song. ‘Tae lyrical cry is theirs—your cry— theirs the articulation of it. Now no cause is greatly effective until the poets champion it. The “poets have winged words, they pierce the hearts and consciences of men, They burn their way into our inmost thoughts. Poets are more to be dreaded by the forces of evil and in ustee and oppression than po= liticians, yea, even than preachers; for the true poet is, I repeat, a pro- phet, a messenger of God.” Mon. S.

Those are the questions that have been coming into the office of Jules Schevitz, General Secretary of the Oklahoma Tuberculosis Association, since the Anti-Spitting campaign got under way in Oklahoma. In an interview yesterday Schevitz explained that spitting is considered in the great majority of cases a filthy and unnecessary habit, and that in almost every case when necessary it is done without precautions. "If one must spit," Schevitz said, "he should take care that his sputum is not deposited on the side walk, floor or steps, but in the gutter, spittoon or other receptacle provided for the purpose. It is not generally realized that by disregarding this simple and easy rule one is actually committing a crime against society—a crime that may result in the illness and even death of many of his fellow citizens." "The germs prevalent in sputum live for a considerable time and make their way into homes and into other's bodies with remarkable speed. It has been truthfully said that if the germs in sputum were colored blue the hands and faces of the great majority of the population would be a deep indigo." "Some of the germs in spitum are harmless. Others are a menace to the health and lives of each and every member of the community. Spitting in the majority of cases is JOHN B.

So-called headaches, eye diseases, deafness, epilepsy, vertigo, insomnia, wry neck, facial paralysis, locomter 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 grippe, 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. Merve 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 spieen, pleurisy and a score of other troubles are caused by pressure on nerves in this part of the some. At this point we find the cause of so-called gall stones, dyspepsia of upper bowels, dewrs, chingles, lumboc, 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.

Why have so-called constipation, rectal troubles, sciatica, etc., when adjustments at this part of the spine will eliminate the cause?

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Mar. 26. —How an English Naval officer in Libau acquired a luxurious, mahogany-furnished private yacht in exchange for two cases of soap, is told by Lieut. Lucien E.

Messinger in a report on his relief work in Lithuania, Poland and the Baltic provinces, sent to Dr. Joseph Blatt, vice-chairman of the Oklahoma Jewish Relief Committee, “that this English officer found himself the most sought ater man in Libau. "One of the wealthiest citizens in Libau, with plenty of the luxuries of life but none of the necessities, finally got two cases of soap in exchange for his private yacht." Lieut.

JONES Muskogee's "Little Baptist Giant" Transfixed On Two Horns of a Dilemma. (Star News Service). MUSGOGEE, Mar. 27.—The good old peace loving, fighting Baptists of Muskogee and Okmulgee may belong to the same church and same pew, but when it comes to the pulpit, they are just now and have been for some time at loggerheads. This variance is due to the fact that both of them want the same pastor, and the pastor wanted thusly is Muskogee's famous "Little Giant," the Rev. S. S. Jones. For a number of years the Rev. Jones has been preaching on one Sunday at Antioch Baptist Church, Muskogee, and the next Sunday at the Church in Okmulgee. He has the credit of having built both of these churches, and naturally while he feels both of the churches are his, each of the congregations believe he belongs to them, and there you are. We do not know whether this every etc., Baptist descipe has told his troubles to a policeman or not, but we are certain when the members of these congregations take the floor to tell their grievances, it will require the power and wisdom of a King Solomon to bring peace to troubled waters. There was a time when Rev. Jones had the unanimous strength and the voice of the Antioch Baptist Church, Muskogee, behind him. But that is not the case today, there are quite a number of both sisters and brethren, pillars of the Antioch Baptist Church for years, who are now openly expressing their opinion, that they would sooner see Rev.

Because of this, members have acquired the habit of not going when he was absent and to this they have added the habit of not going at all. The Antioch Baptist family is not the happy one, it was when it broke away from the old First Baptist and wandered off toward Reevesville and built Antioch on Fourth and Girard. When the tornado blew Antioch down several years ago, Rev. Jones and his congregation firm and stalwart in their faith and devotion to him, rebuilt it in short order. It is doubtful today whether Rev. Jones could do the same thing over if the church met with disaster. Some of the members even go so far as to claim that Rev. Jones has lost some of his "old time religion" and is now a worshipper of the Almighty Dollar. However, be that as it may be, the Rev. Jones is going on his way undisturbed so far as any outward appearance may indicate, and you can take it from us that his most earnest ambition is to build another Baptist Church somewhere, anywhere, and as a church builder it must be conceded he is a world beater.

"BOLSHEVISM" DOES NOT WORRY Members of Our Group Are Stoop Shouldered from Carrying * Burdens of Their Own (A. N. P. Service). NEW YORK, N. Y., Mar. 27.—Hugh S. Martin, former captain in the United States army and Chief of the Military Intelligence Service in North Russia, told of the danger from radical propaganda among the Negroes in this country. He said, recently, "Bolshevik propaganda is endeavoring to find a field among the Negro population of the United States as well as among foreign workmen in this country. The sole permanent solution lies in a proper understanding between the two races. Point out to a Negro that, although radicalism offers him temporary respite in the end, as we have so clearly seen in Russia the burden of inevitable disaster will fall mainly upon his shoulders."

Ericson After 23 Years Credit able Service Passes Away; Lamented by Both Races. (Star News Service). AUSTIN, Tex., Mar. 27.—Sometime during last Saturday night, R. E. Ericson, the well known and universally esteemed Negro letter carrier of our local post office passed away and on to his reward. Ericson had during Saturday made his usual daily trips over his route delivering mail and in the afternoon had cleared his desk, preparatory to the usual heavy distribution for Monday, due to Sunday's accumulation. Neither he nor his associate carriers had any dream that he was for the last time viewisg scenes grown familiar and dear to his sight through 23 years of faithful and efficient service. But so it was decreed, for on Sunday morning he was found in his bed stilled in the sleep that knows no awakening. Mr. Ericson was 73 years old, and on account of his affable and good natured disposition was liked by both the white and Colored carriers and the entire post office force. The carriers, both white and Colored attended the funeral, and he was told to rest in Oakwood cemetery. AN ANGEL BY NAME: NOT BY NATURE Wicked Negro Lad Shoots His Teacher on Account of Punish- ment.

GROUP WORK ACHIEVES MARVELOUS RESULTS Virginia Negroes Have Developed a Fine Spirit of Mutual Helpfulness. (A. N. P. Service). NORFOLK, Va., Mar. 27.—The Tidewater cities, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Berkeley, Newport News, is the appropriate name by which the pirts which border on the Chesapeake Bay are known. Their fame is already established in the East and so progressive and enterprising are the citizens of our group in this section that are long the entire country is certain to be familiar with their worth and achievements, ments. Norfolk is the largest of these coastal cities, boasting a population of 100,000 of whom probably 65,000 are members of the Race. It is an exceedingly busy city, its real importance is a port and commercial centre having been emphasized by the war, when its wonderful harbor became one of the principal embarkation and shipping points of the United States, while its shores were dotted with great manufacturers, wholesale houses, naval bases and the like. The result was the growth of the population from 67,000 in 1911 to its present size. Norfolk has not slackened pace because of the close of the war, and labor which commanded high wages then, continues to earn good pay with jobs awaiting everyone who comes prepared to work. Our group is a large factor in the labor situation and they have not failed to get their share in the great bulk of ronney in circulation. One of the concrete evidences of this fact is the unusual development of banking and similar institutions. The second strongest bank in the country, The Brown Savings Bank with a capital and surplus of $900,000 is located here, while setting a pace which bids fair overhaul it is the Tidewater Trust and Savings company, a new institution which has increased its resources $500,000 in the past six months. The Tidewater is housed in a beautiful new bank building with every mechanical equipment and convenience. It has a large force which was needed on the Saturday morning I visited the institution for there were two lines of depositors who filled the banking roim. The officers of the Tidewater Bank and Trust company are: P. B. Young, President; G. H. Francis, Vice-President; Levie. Brown, Vice-president; M. R. Jackson, Vice-president; J. S. Jones, Secretary-Treasurer; G. W. C. Brown, Assistant Secretary; J. Eugene Diggs, Counsel; Thos. H. Reid, Assistant Counsel. Just across the river at Portsmouth is another strong institution, the Mutual Savings Bank. A few blocks down Church street, the Attacks theatre is being pushed to completion. The Twin City Movement is behind this project and is building one of the largest Colored theatres in the country, seating I.,400. This is an architectural gem and is being fitted out in luxurious fashion. This new enterprise is being pushed by Frank G. Russell, President, H. C. Young, Secretary; G. H. Francis, vice-president. These progressive business achievements are but typical of the things Norfolk is doing. There are many other enterprises worthy of mention. The notable thing about these endeavors is that they are not the result of single handed effort as is too frequently true of our racial enterprises. Our men of Norfolk have mastered the art of working together as a group. There are many substantial citizens with money and they come together with their resources and do things. Perhaps one of the most potent ways of developing the Tidewater spirit is that unseen force which seems to pervade everything and everybody. SAPULPA NEWS Dr. J. W.

MISSOURI NEGROES WANT NAGEL FOR SENATOR Citizen's Liberty League, A Negro Organization, Asks Him to Enter Senatorial Contest. (A. N. P. Service). ST. LOUIS, Mo., Mar. 27.—Chas.

Wolfley one of the promoters of the Citizen's Liberty League, a Race organization. Wolfley says Nagel has told the committee he will take the matter under consideration.

LABOR BOARD Negro Railroad Brotherhood Opposes Their Exclusion from Employment by Whites. (A. N. P. Service). WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 27.—Hou, William H. Lewis, an assistant Attorney General during the Tabt administration is to be the nominee of Race men for a place on the Railroad Labor Board soon to be organized by the Government. W. L. Houston, attorney for the Railroad Men's Benevolent and Industrial Association, appeared here before the Commission empowered in the new railroad law, arranging the wages and working conditions, of the railroad members, and presented a petition that the rules be modified to permit their organization to nominate a man on the wage and Labor Board to represent our Group. President Robert L. Mays of the Railroad Men's Benevolent and Industrial Association, our largest organization of Railroad men declares that the many inequalities in the conditions of employment, particu- Phone Osage 8128 larly in the classes of transportation and mechanical employees and the hard position of Colored locomotive firemen, demands that the Race men should have personal representation on the Board of such great importance. This is particularly true owing to the fact that the white labor groups which will be represented by men of their selection, have secured from the old Railroad Administration, are seeking to secure from the private management or the carrier corporation contracts of such a nature that the men and women of our group would be prevented from securing new employment in the skilled crafts of railway service and would be relegated to positions of common laborers. Further the many cases holding over from the old Railway Administration involving financial interests of our people extending in to many hundreds of thousands of dollars demand that we make every effort to secure the appointment of a Race representative on this all important Board. The R. R. M. B. L.A., is fighting to put Attorney W. H. Lewis, of Boston on the Board as representative of our Group. SUPREME COURT DECISION FAVORS BOYD'S CONTENTION The Tennessee Supreme Court Upholds Decision of the Civil Court of Appeals. (Star News Service). NASHVILLE, Tenn. Mar. 27—Last Saturday perhaps the end of the unfortunate disagreement which has disrupted the great National Baptist Church of America may have been reached through a decision that was handed down by the Supreme Court of the State of Tennessee in the great Baptist lawsuit, pending before it for some time. The decision of this highest state judicial tribunal so far as Tennessee is concerned approved the action of the Civil Court of Appeals which some time ago had rendered a decision in favor of Dr. R. H. Boyd, and his associates, C. H. Clark, J. P. Robinson, G. B. Taylor, L. L. Campbell, J. A. Brown, J. L. Harding and J. C. Fields, constituting the National Baptist Publishing Board. The Civil Court of Appeals in its decision had upheld the decision of Special Judge Cleerry of the lower Chancery Court, also in favor of Dr. Boyd. Thus three decisions have been against Dr. Boyd's adversaries. ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NOTES. Chicago, Ill., Mar. 27.—The "flash" of $450,000 bank roll stopped the recent run on the Lincoln State bank of this city. A rumor that the bank officials refused a republic Colored business man a mortgage loan on sold real estate collateral is said to be the first cause for the "run". Later a sinister rumor was started to the effect that the bank was really insolvent and that the reason why the officials refused to loan the aforesaid business man money on the securities he offered the bank. The "run" lasted several days but was finally checked by the display of the big "bank roll." Chicago, Ill., Mar. 27.—A large number of Negro residents of this city launched an anti-segregation campaign in which they are urging a "fight to the death rather than take a step backward in the efforts to get our just rights." It is being predicted that if the present agitation of a certain class of whites is kept going that there will be a more serious outbreak next summer than occurred last summer when the city was visited by an awful race riot. Norfolk, Va., Mar. 27.—At the Booker T. Washington High School a meeting of Colored school teachers and others for the purpose of forming a permanent organization of the auxiliary to the Norfolk Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was held on the night of March 10. W. T. Cloud gave a lecture on anti-cruelty work, illustrated with stereopticon views, showing the need of more persons becoming interested in the care and protection of dumb animals. This lecture was free and business firms employing Colored drivers were asked to let them off from work so that they would have time to attend the meeting. Washington, D.

Pittsburg, Pa., Mar. 27.—Bitter complaints from one Clarence Webstee and others concerning the treatment that it is said is being accorded Negroes by the police of the First District, are being received by the city authorities. According to the stories, Colored men are being arrested by the score in connection with the local crime wave. Council was told that declarations of innocence amount to nothing. It was claimed the laboring class gets the worst treatment. As a result, Council has ordered a representative of the law department assigned to the Center avenue police station until further notice, to protect the rights of all Negroes brought in by the police. San Francisco, Mar. 27.—The Call Post called attention recently to what it asserts is the situation in which the "educated sensitive and intelligent" man of the Race finds himself in these days in the United States of America. "The intelligent Negro is baffled and angry. He knows that the great mass of his race are ignorant and that their lives are degraded. But he blames this ignorance and degradation on the intolerance of a people which has discovered it is white. He reads the history of the East and the South, and he is not ashamed of his Color. He is proud of it. And if the intelligent Negro of today is bitter, pessimistic and intolerant—well, complacency, optimism and tolerance have never been virtues of the oppressed. The Negro may yet convince the white men that antipathy to color is not an instinct, but the consciousness of wrongdoing." NEGROES BUILD MODEL CITY AT SOUTH PINES All Modern City Improvements Made First Then Sales Were Made. (A. N. P. Service). SOUTHERN PINES, N. C., Mar. 27.—Around Southern Pines and Aberdeen there are two classes of Negroes. The one is marked by thrift and industry—the other is the come-day, go-day type common to all communities. H. A. Page, Jr., bought a large tract of land adjoining Southern Pines and he began to put it on the market to sell, in a purely commercial manner, just as other folks do with similar propositions. He had not gone far before he found himself introducing a farm plan on a big scale, with roads, and the accessories that make farms, and then came an idea of making a section of home sites adjoining the town of Southern Pines for Colored folks. This matter rather evolved itself but Mr. Page finally reached the point where he set aside 86 acres, had roads cut through it, the roads clayed, just as we make the improved roads in the Sandhills, lots of various sizes from the smaller building site to the bigger one of an acre or more were plotted by the engineer, and when all was done the tract was ready for sale. The Colored folks had watched the progress of the plan, and many of them discussed with Frank Buchan who is the selling agent for the property, the prospect of buying locations. But he told them to wait until the engineer had finished the location of the improvements, and the roads were built and the stakes set, and everything ready, and then he could talk definitely. The demands were so numerous that it was seen that the sale was destined to be a quick one, so at first it was proposed to put a price tag on every lot and parcel of land, and let the first man take it who would accept it at the price fixed. This plan appeared to be 'acceptable, but later the People's Realty company of Aberdeen, proposed to Mr. Page that they be allowed to sell the property at auction, to which he agreed and the Burton Brothers were engaged. Many went over to the sale because of the novelty of it and it was interesting, especially to the folks from the North. "It may not be possible for every town to plan a Negro addition on the same scale as this one at South- ern Pines, but it is possible for every 'own to lend a hand in making the Negro home section of the community the most cheerful spot that it can be made for the Colored population, and I doubt if anything that can be done will better pay in the long run at that.'

FOR NEW EPOCH IN RACE RELATIONS Governor of Georgia and Mayor of Atlanta To Address National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (Star News Service). NEW YORK, Mar. 27.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today announced that its eleventh annual conference would be held in Atlanta, Georgia, from May 30 to June 2, and that Hugh M. Dorsey, Governor of Georgia, and James L. Key, Mayor of Atlanta, would speak at the meetings. Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky has also been invited to address the conference. This is the first time that the National Association or the Advancement of Colored People has held its conference in the South, according to the announcement at the headquarters, 70 Fifth Avenue, Atlanta Having been selected, it was stated, upon invitation extended by Governor Dorsey, Mayor Key, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the Allan Churches. "It is hoped," the statement continues, "that this conference may contribute to more cordial cooperation between white and colored people in all that makes for a better America, to a better understanding among white people of the asperations of Negro citizens and to clearing the way for the causes of race friction. "The fact that the Governor of Georgia and Mayor of Atlanta have signified their willingness to take part in the conference is a good omen for increasing cooperation between white men and colored men in solving race problems."

EVERYDAY IS BARGAIN DAY AT The Peoples Exchange 113 1-2 East First Phone 0.3644 THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, March, 27, 1920 Catholics pray for those who go to Purgatory to help them out, Protestants do not so pray, believing that the saintly few go direct to Heaven and that all the unsaintly go directly to eternal torture. If this great lie (Ye shall not surely die) wherewith Satan first seduced Mother Eve and murdered our Race could be fully eliminated from the minds of the people and from the religious creeds it would mean a religious revolution for both Catholics and Protestants—men would turn to the Bible and away from the domination and seduction of these lying spirits and the fallen Angels who are now busy personating humanity. So far as we can learn from those who have once been spirit Mediums the trend of the spiritism is toward unheasitity, and impurity. And this agrees with the serpitorial declaration relative to the sin through which these fallen Angels first became reprobates. Saint Jude: 6, and Saint Peter: (2 Peter 2; 4) tell us briefly of the fall of the Angels—that they left their own habitations and kept not their first estate. Both Apostles mention the circumstances in connection with human lasciviousness. This story of the fall of the Angels is given to us briefly in Gen. 6: 1-4. After Man's fall into sin God permitted the Holy Angels to have communicati who humanity. And because human eyes can not see spirit beings, God permitted the Angels to materialize, that is to take on human form. For instance, we note the case of the Angels who visited Abraham on the plains of Mamre and for whom he prepared a veal dinner. We read that, materialized the Angels were like men while they ate and talked with him. It was subsequently that Abraham learned that they were really Heavenly visitants so it was with all the Angels before the flood. They were permitted to materialize and to appear in every sense of the word as men. The records show that the Angels became lusful. We read, "The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair and took unto themselves wives of such as they chose." The Angels, with superior powers and superior knowledge to man, acted as the masters of men, who were practically obliged to do their bidding. The result is stated in few words. The children of the union of inferior humanity with the superior angelic beings produced a race as we are told, who were giants as compared with the ordinary members of our Race. And not only were they giants physically, but also intellectually—"They were men of renown." Poor humanity could not compete with this race. The result was that strife and contention and lustful, and sinful practices abounded in all the earth, until God declared that every imagination of the thoughts of man's heart was only evil continually. God had foreknown all of this and a canopy of waters, which then surrounded the earth similar to Satura's rings now, was held in readiness to cause a flood, that sinful men and the human offspring of these lustful Angels might be destroyed. Only Noah and his family were found worthy of preservation to be the new start of humanity this side of the flood. The declaration of the scripture respecting Noah's family is, "Now Noah was perfect in his generation," he was properly generated or born and so was his childen. There was no strain or admixture of Angelic stock in that family. The plain inference of the scripture is that the remainder of humanity was so degraded by the seduction of those fallen Angels that they were not fit to live. The entire race had become corrupt. (Sorry to say the present race and generation of mankind are fast approaching the same condition morally that pertained just before the flood of Noah's day.) Of course the fallen Angels were not destroyed in the flood for they not only had power to materialize, that is the ability to change to human form, but also they had the power to dematerialize, that is to change from human body and form back to spirit being. It was at that time however, that all of the fallen Angels were put under restraint—that is not permitted again to materialize and they were to remain in this condition of restraint until the Judgement of the Great day. Their restraints or chains are not physical to confine them to a place in Tartarus—the earth's atmosphere. They may roam at will anywhere but are chained or restrained from materializing. The intimation of the scripture seems to be that, with the ending of the Gospel age, just prior to the inauguration of the new dispensation, these evil spirits may be allowed to break their chains and manifest themselves as men, in connection with the great time of trouble incidental to the change of dispensation. (That time is right now). Separated from God and the Holy Angels and unable to assume but Angels and unable to assume hu man bodies these sinful Angels have probably had terrible experiences during the past forty-four hundred years. It is well understood by the Text: Those Angels Which Kept Not Their First Estate—Jud. 6. (By RICHARD J. HILL.) The Bible's teaching that the earths atmosphere is infested with evil spirits is now generally disbelieved as a result of this disbelief thousands of well meaning people are being more or less easily intrapped by these evil spirits. The blight is both physical and moral; the usual method of procedure by these spirits is to arouse curiosity, when the quest for knowledge proceeds, and influence much like that of hypnotism affects the investigator, impelling him forward to further investigation. Sometimes the curiosity is attracted through the outer senses at spiritualistic meetings with Ouia Boards, etc. At other times it is by Spirits rappings. Again, it may be whisperings in the ear audible to others. At other times the messages come through trance Mediums but in every instance these communications purport to come from dead Human beings. This of it's self gives to the communication a special charm to many. They fell honored in being sought by the dead and in being able to communicate with them, they are curious for information respecting the hereafter. Not infrequently do these spirits personate the Heavenly Father and Christ and urge more prayer and accuse sin and recoomend the reading of the Scripture; this appears to be with a view to gaining the confidence of the will. But later on dishonorable suggestions are made. The Bible is scorned, prayer is laughed at. If, then, the subject takes fright and seeks to break the hypnotic chains, the evil spirits laugh at him, swear at him, and some times tell him that they will shortly have him fully in their power to roast him forever. If he attempts to pray they intrude and interrupt and tell him that God will not hear him now, that he has gone too far, etc. With some, the matter goes so far that the human will is broken down completely and the spirit obsess them and use their bodies foolishly—sometimes viciously, sometimes insanely, until finally they are pronounced dangerous and committed to an asylum. We do not claim that all of the insane are obsessed of evil spirits, but so far as we can judge, nearly one half the inmates of asylums are obsessed by demons who live in them while they are mastering their wills God, through his word has forewarned his people against these delusions. In permitting his people to fall into these traps He, God, is merely teaching them a great lesson. The terrible results of disobedience, of neglect of God's word. The Divine arrangement is that ultimately the entire human family shall be released from the bonds of sin and death, ignorance and superstition and all have full opportunity for coming into full harmony with God. The present lesson will illustrate to man the necessity for searching the Scripture and obeying God's voice therein. St. Paul, in describing this very day in which we now live declares one of it's prominent signs to be that many will give heed to these producing spirits, whose teachings and practices lead away from God. St. Paul intimates also that by these misleading spirits many will come to hold doctrines of demons, or Devilish doctrines. It is a sad commentary upon our wonderful day of enlightenment that the most enlightened people should hold to and believe in the most awful doctrine respecting the hereafter. It certainly is a doctrine of demons which teaches that nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand of humanity are to be eternally tortured either because of Divine incompetence to make better arrangements for them, or because God willed and fore-ordained it so before creation. This doctrine of demons has enslaved many honorable people who would themselves scorn to be accredited of making such a plan of the ages as they attribute to God. But we thank God, that the time is not far distant when these seducing spirits will be completely bound restrained, and deceive humanity no more. But the deception has so long prevailed that poor humanity is thoroughly under it's control. The falsehood leading up to all this error is Satan's first old lie to our parents in the Garden of Eden. There, contradicting the words of God, he said, "Ye shall not, surely die." Ever since, for six thousand years, he has worked along this line and all the fallen angels have been working with him. His message is "Ye shall not surely die." You do not surely die. When men seem to die, they become more alive than before they die. On account of these errors that dead men are alive, Satan and the fallen Angels, contrary to the teachings of the Bible, have instilled into the people of the whole world nonsensical and heathen superstitions respecting Heaven, Purgatory and Hell.

Anger, malice, Lafred, strife, works of the Devil the Apostle says are not compatible with the love, joy and peace which belongs alone to a condition of holiness. Under such circumstances we cannot wonder that the fallen angels would seek association with humanity. And they being under the control of Saan as a chief or prince of Devils have followed his course and propagated his original "We shall not surely die." They have conjured the minds of men to believing in the hell of the heatnens, the heat and purgatory of the Catholics and worse of all the enternal and never ending torture taught by Protestants. These doctrines of demons have increased the gulf between God and humanity and have made the Bible a message of God's love, a book of terrors—not to be loved, but merely to be endured or kept as a fetish to secure possibly a cooser place in Purgatory. We may safely say that all the false doctrines of the creeds of the various Denominations of Christendom and of the dark ages are doctrines of demons, our minds have become defined our hymn-books, our creeds, in fact everything and the greatest agents or exponents of these doctrines of demons and the clergy whether intelligently or ignorantly. The world has a right to believe what the clergy says since they pose as God's representatives and mouth-pieces here on earth but the ninety-nine out of every one-hundred of the clergy and the great and wise of today are, the cause of selfishness and pride of heart under the influence, in one form or another, of the faded Angels. I make this criticism of the clergy and the most prominent of today not in the sense of a know-all or in hatred for those criticised but in the sense of one who loves and heartily desires that the poor blinded world have timely warning against this great flood of evil spirits which through cunning devices are deceiving the poor people to their great injury. We thank God that the light of the new despencation is now bringing to us the beginning of blessings—release from some of our darkness. The seeing of the true wage of sin—that it is death and not eternal torment—is one of the most important features connected with our enlightenment. When we learnt that the dead are really dead and, as the Bible declares, will not know anything until the resurrection, then we begin to see the beauty of God's plan. The needs of Christ's death, the need of His second coming, the need of His Kingdom, the need of a resurrection the need of an opportunity for all mankind to come to a clear knowledge of the great truth of redemption through Christ's blood, and the opportunity then by God's grace or obtaining eternal life. Our great Redeemer manifested his power by casting out demons from those who have become obsessed. And we read further where he commissioned his Apostles to heal all manner of diseases and to cast out uncle spirits. We are told that they did this in numerous instances. An illustration is given us of one man who was obsessed by a legion of these spirits. No wonder the poor fellow was crazy but after they were cast out he was clothed and in his right mind and became a diciple—Luke: 8; 26-30. St. Paul and Silas had an experience with an obsessed young woman who practiced sooth-saying, fortune telling, like many are doing today, by the power of the evil spirits which obsessed her. As the evil spirits recognized Jesus and cried, "We know Thee who thou art Jesus." So this spirit knew the Apostles and through the young woman's lips cried after them "these be the Servants of the most high God which show to us the way to obtain eternal life. Act. 16; 18" Neither Jesus or the Apostles were willing PAGE NINE to accept testimonies from persons under the influence of those evil spirits but would command the evil spirits to come out of their victim. So it should be with the earnest Christian and sober-minded people of today, they should keep away from the influence of everything and everybody who appear to be under the influence of these fallen Angels, fortune telling, Devine healing, hypnotism, Christian Science and any and all these phenomena which are not easily explained. Many of the wise of the world have become victims of spiritism because they dared to use human wisdom and have attempted to investigate the claims of spiritism but such is foolishness on the part of anyone. An attempt to investigate the phenomena of spiritism is just what the fallen Angels want for there is no human being wise enough to cope with these wicked Angels who are old with age and can read the thoughts of men. The scripture indicates that there will be a wonderful activity amongst the fallen Angels at the close of this Gospel age. The Master declared that the deception would be such that, if it were possible the very elects would be deceived. But that will not be possible because divine providence stands engaged to protect the elect. The 91 Psalms which gives a picture of the closing of this age and its sundry trials and tests, declares that God will give his messengers a charge concerning the Feet-members of the body of Christ in all their ways—lest a foot should be dashed against a stone of stumbling. Psalms; 91: 72. As Satan and the fallen Angels operate largely through the children of disobedience, so God and his Holy Messengers use not only the scriptures but also God's children of obedience as his mouth-pieces, as helpers, and as God's Ambassadors in building one and others up in the most Holy Faith. Hence, the time when a thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand, will be also the time when these ensnaring and deceptive errors will not come nigh the members and true followers of the Body of Christ. If our understanding of the scriptures be correct we need not be surprised if the fallen Angels may again seemingly gain a victory over the Divine restraints and materialize that is, take on the form of the human body in broad day light—personating not only the dead but also at times personalizing the living. The Spiritualist and Mediums are already claiming such things and tre beginning to take place on a grand scale. Should it come (and it is most certain to come, that is, the fallen Angels be permitted to take on human form) it will inaugrate a terrible time of trouble such as has not been since the flood. God's people while resting confidently and at ease under divine supervision, should be on the alert to resist everything akin to spiritism occultism, hypnotism, and to warn their friends respecting these things. Numerous scientific men are being entrapped by these lying spirits whose doings and powers they are unwittingly investigating under the name of Psychicphenomena, we thank God that we are nearing the time when Satan shall be bound and when every evil influence shall be restrained. Not only will there be a full cleansing from a physical obsession, but there will also be a still greater cleansing and freeing from the doctrines of demons. Grand Master, Col, E. D.
