Tuesday Will Be Election Day-Vote Early Democratic Nominees Will Win A Fearies Exponent of. Right and justice. An Uncompromising Defender of the Colored Race. We fear only to do wrong. Democracy Past Record OF City Adm Assures COLORED PEOPLE WILL VOTE STRONG FOR PRESENT ADMINISTRATION Many Leaders in Republican Ranks Say They Will Cast Their Ballots for Mayor and Commissioners That many Colored people of Tulsa, as well as a great many white people, regardless of party lines will vote for Mayor Hubbard and the present City Commissioners next Tuesday, is a conclusion justified by current opinion among the people of this city who have followed and studied the issues in the present campaign. Considerable pressure has been brought to bear to change the minds of the people of Tulsa in an unholy attempt to defeat the present administration at the polls Tuesday, but in spite of all that is being said and done, it is conceded now by the political leaders that the present administration will win by a good substantial majority over the republican ticket. The People Will Rule. For a number of years prior to the election of the present mayor and commissioners it was the custom for a few self-constituted bosses to dictate the policy of the administration and when their displeasure was incurred a political combination was immediately formed and the "ring" set out to dehrone their creatures. But the death of this kind of political machinery was announced when Mayor Hubbard and the present city commissioners were elected two years ago. Since that time the "bosses" have been planning and plotting to defeat the administration and elect a ticket composed of men whom they can handle—hence, the so-called democratic backing of the republican ticket. A few disgruntled democrats tried to "boss" the present administration and failed, so they have lined up to defeat the democratic ticket Tuesday. Similar conditions prevailed in Tulsa four years ago when the Simmons administration was elected and the "gang" hopes to repeat the stunt this time. The Colored people of Tulsa have not forgotten the two years of republican regime—nor have the white people—and they are not likely to forget it soon. And because the thinking people of Tulsa, white and Colored, still remember the late republican administration, and because they know what the present administration has done, are doing and will do for Tulsa, they will defeat the aims and ambitions of the would-be bosses by electing the democratic ticket from mayor down. Mayor Hubbard and the commissioners will poll the heaviest vote ever registered in Tulsa next Tuesday and the Colored, people will help to swell his splendid majority. Several prominent Colored men who are known to be republicans have openly said they will vote for Mayor Hubbard and the democratic commissioners. "I am a republican," said one of these men to a Star reporter yesterday, "but this is one time I am going to vote the democratic ticket, and I am going to do it because I don't believe we will ever have another city administration that will do more for Tulsa and all the people. I remember this man Evans as Police Judge and I don't think he would make a good mayor for all the people; I know Hubbard will—there's the difference." And that is the sentiment of the great majority THE TULSA STAR Women For Hubbard. of the Colored people of this city. The women voters of the city will come in for a big consideration in the election Tuesday. Many women will cast their first ballots in Tuesday's election. In spite of the claims of the opposition the women polled a strong vote for the present administration in the primary election and they will vote stronger that way-Tuesday in the general election. So far as the Colored women are concerned, two thirds of them will vote the democratic ticket. Mayor Hubbard's Gift to the Colored People of Tulsa. Among the many advantages enjoyed by the Colored People of Tulsa, not the least by any means is the Frissell Hospital located on Brady street and conducted by Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, A. B. R. N., head course. It is just possible, that living in Tulsa and not knowing now hearing of the sufferings and inconveniences endured by members of the Race in other Oklahoma communities, we are not as deeply appreciative of the great service and usefulness of this valued local institution as we should be. Take Muskogee for instance, when anyone, man and woman, suffers the misfortune of an attack, causing them to fall upon the street, they lie there surrounded by gaping throng of white and Colored until the police patrol gathers them up in a heap, and in a heap throws them upon the hard floor of the city jail. Or if an ambulance does come, it is the Muskogee rule to carry Colored unfortunate to the hospital, where they are consigned to the basement not far from the coal bins and furnaces. The Muskogee Christian (?) treatment is merely an example of what occurs all through Oklahoma in other towns and cities. Thrice blessed are Tulsans, to have such a place as the Frissell Hospital and its efficient and sympathetic corps of nurses. The Star Reporter wondering how such things could happen to be called at Frissell Hospital for information. Replying to our inquiry as to the origin of the hospital, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, head nurse, replied: "The Frissell Hospital is the gift of Mayor C. H. Hubbard to the Colored people of Tulsa." "Well, that's unusual isn't it," said the reporter. "Yes, it is a gift that few men in the courtyard have bestowed upon our People and it is one that every citizen, male and female, should not fail to appreciate." "But do the Colored People of Tulsa appreciate the incalculable value of such an institution in providing succor and relief in times of serious illness?" asked the Star representative, Mrs. Smith, head nurse replied, "I am sure very many of our People appreciate the Frissell Hospital as sincerely as they should and I am sure very many, especially the intelligent and public spiritized Colored people of Tulsa are deeply grateful." "For myself," said the head nurse, "I feel it is my duty both as nurse and citizen to speak a word in behalf of Mayor Hubbard for this very great and helpful gift to our People. I am sure that I voice the sentiments of all the Colored Citizens of Tulsa when I say there can be no better, and no more competent and capable man for our next Mayor than Mayor C. H. Hubbard. * Despite so much talk about Turkish cruelties in Armenia, none of the great Christian nations of the world seem anxious to take over the Allied Mandate in Turkey. Weekly Mail Edition TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1920. Wood For President Colored Democrats (An editorial from The Monitor of Omaha, Nebraska, Dec. 4. 1919.) Some months ago The Monitor modestly suggested that Major-General Leonard Wood would be—no pun intended—an excellent choice for President of the United States to succeed his excellency, Woodrow Wilson. We said that the Republican leaders would make no mistake, in our humble opinion, in nominating him for this high office. What we then whispered has become a loud voice, for we note with gratification that a campaign for General Wood's nomination has been launched. A strong sentiment favoring his candidacy is sweeping over the country. We hope that this sentiment may b come so strong and irresistible that it will lead to General Wood's nomination for this high dignity and responsible office. His nomination by the Republican party will be tantamount to his ejection; for the handwriting on the wall fortells the return to power of a Republican administration. While there are indications that a third party might be a welcome possibility for many who are not satisfied with either of the two old parties, the Democrat or the Republican, but cannot as yet bring themselves to espouse Socialism, the coming political power—there is little probability of such a new third party becoming a factor to be reckoned with for the next three or four years. The contest, therefore, in the next presidential election will be between the two old parties, the Democratic and the Republican, and as to which will be successful there can be no doubt. The Republicans have several strong men whom they could put in the field, but none (Continued on Page 12). Howard Gets In Bad Howard Gets In Bad Cry of Registration Frauds Emanates From Guilty Source. The hearing yesterday before the county election board growing out of the charges of registration fraud, starred by republican leaders has developed the fact that not democrats but republicans were guilty of fraud in the recent primaries. It was brought out that registration books were distributed from republican headquarters to republican workers and that these workers went from house to house registering republican voters. One of these men, a white man named Faust, went to a residence on East Fairview seeking voters and found a woman who was willing to register but desired to register as a democrat. This privilege was refused her by Faust who told her that she must register as republican. The woman called up Mayor Hubbard and told him of the incident and Faust's arrest followed. E. D. Howard, well known character of this city, who is republican precinct committeeman, for precinct 23, and who is one of the leaders of the Colored republican forces, it has developed, was very much implicated in the fraud. Officer Henry Pack saw a registration book in Howards' office during the registration, practically all used, and mentioned this to J. T. Presley, who is the official registrar. Mr. Presley went to Howard in company with officers Smithier and demanded the book. Howard emphatically denied that he had ever had such book, on one occasion saying the officers lied and on an- Much Enthusiasm Manifested at Colored Democratic Rally. Judging from the interest and enthusiasm being manifested by the Colored people of Tulsa in the democratic meetings under the auspices of the Afro-American Democratic Club, the entire democratic ticket will be elected, so far as the Colored vote is concerned, by a big majority. A: a meeting of the above named club Thursday night, a number of eloquent and enthusiastic speeches were made for the democratic ticket by friends of the administration of both races, and the sentiment following this meeting, as before, was decidedly in favor of the democratic ticket. Among those who spoke were M. J. McNulty, Jr., candidate for Commissioner No. 2, a very popular young man. Lee Daniels, well and favorably known lawyer of this city, W. M. Sulcer, a visitor from Oklahoma City, and Editor A. J. Smitherman. other that he was mistaken. But during the hearing yesterday, Howard testified that he did have the registration book—that he had secured it from republican headquarters and that J. T. Presley, registrar for 23 had authorized him to use his name. This Presley says, is an unqualified falsehood. Howard, Faust and other republican henchmen will be vigorously prosecuted by the County Election Board and County and City officials. Vote For These DEMOCRATIC TICKET C. H. HUBBARD, Mayor.

Prof. Hughes Visits Colored Normal University and Expresses Himself as Highly Pleased. In view of the fact that the Colored Agricultural and Normal University at Langston, Oklahoma, has had more than a good share of adversely notoriety during the past six years, words of commendation, coming from a man who has spent the greater part of his life in educational work must be accepted by the general public as the best evidence of the real work being done there by President Marquess and his assistants. A few weeks ago Professor J. W. Hughes and other instructors from this city visited the Langston University in company with the basketball team of the local high school, and upon his return had the following to say about the school: "We have just returned from Langston University where we looked with great pride and no small degree of concern upon a growing institution for the uplift of the Colored Youths of Oklahoma. "We were very pleasantly surprised to find that things are not as they are often quoted concerning the school—we had heard that very few students were in attendance—we found nearly six hundred fine, intelligent looking young men and women in attendance. "The average citizen of Oklahoma knows little of the great worth of a state school and he or she depends more upon 'hear say' for that he thinks, than upon the facts as they exist concerning such a great Mr. L. D. Johnson, the popular Taxi driver and W. H. Phillips of the "Mysterious Car" fame are running a contest against each other, as to which will provoke the most mirth and laughter as End Men in the forthcoming Minstrel Show, to produced in the near future for the benefit of entertaining the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias. Johnson says: "You can take it from papie that I will clean up for all the comedians." Phillips sits wise and is planning a mysterious coup for that night.

So often we hear both men and women say we have a 'right' to our opinion as to how our State School should run and this and that is not to my notion. We hear the 'right' but with that goes the 'duties' to uphold, uplift and foster the concern in which we have a 'right.' "The builders of great schools must be men of ideals, men who have asense of brotherhood and the fundamental spirit of Christian fellowship. Out of their devotions for ideal, they build the foundation for a great school in which all men should have an equal chance, but such equality should not be measured by the yard stick." "The average 'kicker' knows little about the opportunities offered our girls and boys at Langston, or of the invested ideals and the uncompromising courage for those ideals that are woven into the very life of her students. "The greatness of a State is never measured by her grain fields but by the wealth of her minds. The State of Oklahoma, so far as we are concerned, will be great or fall short of her cherished ambitions, as that institution is able to invest information and inspirations in the minds of the men and women who are to build the future of this great common wealth and lift it out of a search for material assets into a search for spiritual refinement. "Suppose we go and search after finding the true conditions, return to our fields of labor and give one harmonious pull for Langston University." cellent progress is being made.

(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK ocing Made every WHhere tO Conve” the people that the dead_are alive and not dead and that the dead ave really spirit beings and able to com. municate, through Mediums with those who are living, The largest magazines and newspapers in_ this country are employed to spread tie doctrine, and worst of all modern clergymen have drifted away frou. the Bible and are taking to psychic research. ‘They have forsaken the wisdom of Jehovah and adopted the wisdom of men, ‘They tell us that the dead are still alive, and to prove this they refer to phenomna such as table rapping Spiritual sances, hearing of voices ete, Some will insist that such great and learned men as Sir Oliver Lodge William T, Stead and other eme- neut scientists in their lifetime were firm betievers in the ability to com- municate with the dead. ‘The great British Novelist, Conan Doyle, is an- Cther witness who insists that com- munication with ihe dead is a com mon thing, We wish to say that there is no doctrine taught in the scripture that is unreasonable, God invites his creatures to come and reason with him, saying, “Come now let us reason together sayth the “Lord,” (Isa, 9; 13), HW ex- pects of course that such a one will reason in the light of the scriptures, the divine word, But if any one iynores the scriptures he cannot rea son along such lines, Just here we desire to sound the warning that the teaching of the doctrine that the living can com- municate with the dead is one of the great gigantic frauds that is de- ceiving mankind. The public press throughout the country, since the war, with big headlines have said: “The war ‘has changed the world’s view of life, death and hereafter.” Had the writer been familiar with the seriptures he would not have written such a headline, because the so called phenomena is not new bul ages old. It is true that since so many homes have been bereaved by the war there is a great desire to know of the condition of the dead friends; hence they are subject to the delusions practiced upon them hy the great Advosary. — Spiritua’ ism is now sweeping over the world and shen final accounting is made, i will be seen that the clergy are chieily responsible for this, because they have failed to advise them- selves concerning the Bible's teach- ings and have neglected to instruct the people. Hence the people are felling victims to this monastrous delusion, ‘That many are able to hear voices which claim to represent their dead friends, there can be no doubt. In- stead of attempting to dispute the phenomina, we readily admit th happening of events claimed, Bu the voices heard are not the voice: of dead friends, because dead peo ple can not speak. They are no the voices of someone with whon' you used to communicate with ir the flesh. What, then, are thos voices? And from whence come they? We answer that after Adan hac violated God’s laws and was driver from Eden, God permitted certait of the Angelic host, spirit beings to have a supervising control ove: man, (Heb. 2; 5). ‘These Angel were spirit beings, but under th divine permission could materaliz aud appear unto human beings; fo instance, when the Angel appearec to Abraham and again to Daniel and other instances, (Gen, 22; 15) (Zac. 12; 9). ‘The Genesis accoun is to the effect that the materialize: spirit beings cohabited with th daughters of men. These “Sons o God came in unto the daughters 0 men, and they bear children to them ‘The same become mighty men, whic! were of old men of renown, An God saw that the wickedness of me was great on the earth and tha every imagination of the heart wa only evil continually.” (Gen. 6; 1-5 All the peoples of earth had becom so debauched with these degrade Angelic beings (Materialized as men That only Noah and the member of his household was free from suc} God declared that he would destro all flesh in the earth, He directe Nosh from to build an Ark in whic to save himself and family. Whe this was completed Jehovah brougt the great deluge upon the earth, an all human beings were destroy that were not in the ark. The materialized Angels were n luuman beings, yet they occupied hi man bodies; and while the delug would destroys all flesh, it wou not and did not destroy these spii beings. What became of them? § Poter anecwers: “God snared not tt} not mean the grave, nor a place of torment, but it does signify a coa- dition of restraint in darkness. ‘These evil ones, then were as stated by the above authority, restrained under chains of darkness. And this restriction must continue until the judgement of the great day, ‘The conclusion must be reached that at ‘the time of the Judgement of the great day this restraint would be removed, in a measure at least, and these evil spirits permitted to work greater decptions and — wonders ‘amongst the people than ever be- fore, Since the time of the flood they have been in this condition of restraint, The world is now enter- ing the great day of the Judgement as other scriptures show, and which we hope to show in the course of there articles. We are in a time therefore, when these evil spirits are to exercise and are exercising gleater powers of deception than ever before, deceiving many of the brightest minds, and would deceive if possible the very elect of God. From the time of the flood these evil spirits or demons have been able to communicate in some limited de- sree with those in the earth. To protect the children of Iseral, Jeho- vah specially provided in his law that it was a capital offense for any- one to have to do with these demons throagh instrumentalities of Medi ums, witches or Necromancers, We cite a few provisions of the divine law in proof of this; “hou shall not suffer a witch to live” (Exodus 22 18). “When thou cometh into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shall not learn to do after the abomination of those nations. ‘There shall not be found among You any that use divinations, or an observer of times or an enchanter, cr a witeh, or a charmer, or a con: sulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a Necromancer; for all that do these things are an abomi- pation unto the Lord,” (Deut, 18; 10- 12). A man also, or a woman, that hath a familiar spirit or that’ is a wizard, (Medium), shall surely be put to death,” (Levtt. 20; 27). When Jesus was on earth he found many persons whose minds had bee taken possession of by these demons and he cast them out, “When the even was come they brought unto him many that was possessed with demons, and he caste out tie spirits with his word and heaied all that was sick.” (Matthew, 8-16), “And ,when he was come to the other side in the country of _ the Geergesenes there met him two pos: sessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way, And bebold they eried out, saying, whal hove we to do with thee, Jesus thou son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding, Sc the devils besought him saying, “1 thou cast us out suffer us to. g¢ away into the herd of swine,” (Mat 8; 28-31), Saul was the King of Iseral he ha- been unfaithful to the Lord.

Some very prominent men are mentioned as having taken this course, among them being Postmaster J. M. Crutchfield. We are very much surprised that any man who claims to be a democrat in the true sense should take this step, but we are profoundly dumfounded to learn that a so called democrat who is sucking the public teat under the patronage of the democratic party should so far forget the source of his political being as to turn his back on his party in the general election, because he failed to land his choice in the primary, and openly pledge his support to the opposing ticket. Such democrats are no better than the so called Christian who deserts his church because he dislikes some of the other members therein. The Star believes in the principles of democracy. There is no half way grounds with us. With the same constancy we believe in the integrity and ability of the democratic nominees who were decidedly the choice of the majority of the people of the democratic party in the recent primary election and we intend to stand by them to the last ditch—and then some. There should be a day of reckoning for these disgruntle members of the party who, when things do not go as they wish, are ready to kick out of the traces and attempt to wreck the party. Four years ago a few of this class within the democratic ranks defeated the party ticket and made it possible for a republican victory. They plan to pull off the trick again in this election but they are reckoning without the host. Right is sure to win and for that reason the democratic ticket will march triumphantly through the election Tuesday, and then we'll have prayer by some good brother and proceed to cleanse the party of all undesirables. "AN ODIOUS DAMNED LIE."—SHAKESPEAR ABSURD CONTENTION of supporters of the all the vice element in Tulsa are supporting the not merit passing notice from the self-respecti matter of fact, there are citizens of all class THE ABSURD CONTENTION of supporters of the republican tisket that all the vice element in Tulsa are supporting the democratic ticket does not merit passing notice from the self-respecting people of Tulsa. As a matter of fact, there are citizens of all classes, no doubt, supporting both tickets, and it is nothing less than an open insult to the better element of Tulsa's citizenship to be classified as bootleggers and gamblers, because they chose to support the democratic nominees in the general election. A careful review of the men who are supporting the republican ticket will reveal the fact that a great number of them have shady reputations as gamblers and bootleggers, but we would not dare charge that ALL those who vote the republican ticket are in the same catagory. Nor would we assume that their support of the G. O. P. ticket adds to or subtracts from the good or bad qualities of the republican nominees. Such assumption would be just as preposterous as the contentious of the Hubbard opponents that ALL the lewd people in Tulsa are supporting the democratic ticket. But be that as it may; the democratic ticket will win because the majority of hte people of Tulsa have implicit confidence in the standard bearers of that ticket. THE RACE in Tulsa will grow and prosper in proportion to the opportunities afforded our group by the City Administration. Past records of the two parties in this city have thoroughly demonstrated that the Democrats are our best friends. No one can deny this. The present administration has surpassed all former records in giving recognition to the Colored people of this city and as true Race men and women we should give them our stamp of approval at the polls Tuesday. THERE IS A DEAL OF DIFFERENCE between the fellow who struts about with an air of superiority and imagines himself a leader, and the fellow who gets in the trenches and delivers the goods. The latter is a doer; the former a dreamer, usually not worth the space he would occupy in hell. THERE IS NO CHANCE for the republican ticket to be elected—not even as revised by the Tulsa World. Certainly the Colored people of Tulsa will not take chances with another republican administration as long as they can remember the Simmons regeme. THE MAN who cloaks himself in the scantyity of the Church to hide his hellish black deeds is a thousand times worse than the fellow who makes no pretentions of Godliness. For our part, we prefer the association of the latter, as between the two. BUY YOUR Furniture AT W. W. BEATTIES' WHERE YOU GET TWICE AS MUCH FOR THE MONEY PHONE 0. 96 RE TRUN 106 E.

TIRED AND CRAZY, MOTHER ASKS, WHO KILLS CHILDREN Story of Loneliness and Financial Troubles Told by Mrs. Elmer Cowart of Elk City Follow- ing Murder of Five—Dies Herself After Confession —Ax, Butcher Knife and Razor Used in Terrible Tragedy. (Star News Service). ELK CITY, Okla., March 31. Scrawling but a word or two at a time, Mrs. Elmer Cowart, who early this morning killed her five children and slashed her own throat at the little tent home four miles southeast of here, told the story this afternoon of how, driven to insanity through loneliness, financial troubles and sickness, she used an ax, a butcher knife and a razor to kill her children and herself. The woman died in a hospital here at 4:45 o'clock this afternoon soon after she had told her story of the tragedy. The five children were found dead in a tent with their heads crushed and their throats cut, buy a farmer who heard their screams. A bloody axe, but her knife and razor were found in the tent. The mother also was lying in the tent with her throat cut and in an unconscious condition and hurried to a hospital. At the hospital this afternoon the mother wrote; "I was crazy and was tired of living. I know all about it now." The mother could not talk because of the gaping wound in her throat, and when she regained consciousness for a short time before her death, indicated a desire to make a statement. Pencil and paper were brought and she asked for her clothing. When this was brought she showed attendants where she had secreted $40 in bills, all that she had, and the savings of several months. By asking questions and receiving answers by a nod or shake of the head the story of loneliness and poverty was brought out by attendants. The little tent in which the family made its home was on the farm of Mrs. Cowart's parents, but previous financial troubles had brought about an estrangement, it was said. Here the woman lived with nothing but the ground as a floor, and with limited opportunities for raising and educating her children. Sickness, she said, added to the cause of despondency and after her husband had gone to his work at a mill in Elk City this morning the loneliness overbalanced her mind. Funeral arrangements for the mother and her children have not been made. Screams of the children attracted a man who was plowing a field nearby, but all the children were dead before he reached the tent and the mother had succeeded in slashing her own throat. The oldest of the children is a boy 10 years old and the others are a girl 7, a girl 5, a boy 8 and a baby girl, 4 months old. The three older children were found piled on a bed, their heads crushed and their throats cut, while the other two were lying beside the mother on the floor, in the same condition. She had been slightly despondent since an attack of influenza, her husband said today, but had shown no signs of mental derangement, Mr. Cowart arose early this morning and before he went to his work, his wife prepared his lunch for him apparently well and in the best of spirits.

HAMPTON, Va., Apr. 3.—Honor able Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, recently paid a “fyiny visit” to Hampton Institute, follow- ing the launching of the “Mary- land,” which will be America’s finest Ireadnaught. His program in- cluded the meeting of the members of the Chinese Educational Commis- sion, who were studying Hampton Institute; the reviewing of _ the School's ‘battalion of cadets, includ. ing the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps unit; the hearing of several plantation melodies of the Old South ‘led by Paige I, Lancaster, late of the | 867th Regiment; and a brief address in Ogden Hall 'to the Hampton In- stitute workers, students, and_ visi- ters on “The Need and Value of Scif-diseipline.” “Think Straight, Be True Leadets” Secretary Daniels declared that the Hampton School is the result of |General Armstrong's dream and vis- ion; for, after the War between the | States, it was Armstrong who saw what might come out of the great human tragedy. He expressed his complete confidence in the loyally of the Colored people to American ideals and his satitfaction with the military review held in his honor. Addressing the students directly he said: “As you marched in review so well and showed the benefit and result of excellent training, I felt that it would not only bear fruit in making good seldiers, but it woul’ have a reflex influence on making men straight, “It was often said during the war that if a man would shoot straight he must live straight. We preach ed that doctrine in the Navy and in the Army and we found, as. the months went by, that the man who was self-restrained, kept his pas sions in subject to his will, and had a clean body, made the best soldier. “Now we have come into an ers of peace. The same need is before us; that young Americans, above al else, should keep their bodies clean. upright in life, clean and straight not only that in emergency they niust shoot straight, but in this com: plex life before us they can think straight, work better, command bet fer pay, and, going out of schools like Hampton, be true leaders of 1 race coming out of ignorance inte a better day.” “Do the Right Thing.” Homer L. Fergiison, president o the Newport News Shipbuilling anc | Dry Dock Company at Newpor News and a Hampton trustee, spok on “The Negro in Industry.” Hi ‘| stated that at the Newport New ‘| shipyard 5500 Colored men are nov employed,. ‘| “We are proud of the fact,” h \| said, “that we are practically th -louly employers of Colored labo 1} who work together — successfull ;|thousands of white and Colore "Jiaen in the same institution withou s]ony trouble, I feel that there is 1} real, practical, definite, economic st k} lution of the problem of the Sout) ‘| which we dre please to call th 3] Colored problem, and in my judi -|ment it will be solved largely b Southern men, white and blac! t} working with the common -purpo: -|of doing the right thing by eac |. | other,.” e| Mr, Ferguson showed clearly th: ;|those who would teach must. fir e learn, “Those who" would insti industry and thrift into the hear‘ h of a peonle,” he said, “must fir o themselves be industrious and thi |ty, and those who would teach « e|bedience must themselves first lear n|and practice ~obedience, Leadet dj ship does not consist in saying ‘g -|on’ but ‘come on,’ Whoever hi £| the biggest job becomes the greate nt nieeeanen a “DOCTOR” MUST SERVE TERM FOR MANSLAUGHTER OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Apr. 3; Death following treatment —con- sisting of doses of a brew made from parched hogs’ feet and of incanta- tions, prayers and the laying on of hands, supports a charge of man- slaughter in the second degree, ac- cording to the decision of the criminal court of appeals rendered yesterday in the case of Jim Bar. ‘low, convicted nearly two years ago in the district court of Pittsburg county and sentenced to two years imprisonment, The case had been tried before Judge R. W. Higgins, now a member of the state supreme Court ‘The sentence was affirmed. “Culpable negligence, gross ignor- ance, wanton inattention and mal- practice, characterized the conduct of Barrow, the opinion declared.

The appeal was taken on the grounds that the information making the charge was duplicitious. The opinion said: | “The question is not whether the deceased would have lived had he received treatment according to the care and skill used among good practitioners of any recognized and | suthorized school, but did the treat- ment given and applied by the de- fondant contribute to and result in his death, and was the defendant grossly ignorant of the manner in which such disease should be treat- ea and culpably negligent of the pa- ltfent in giving this treatment.” First published in the Tulsa Star, March, 20, 1920.

If you expect to make any changes during the year, by all means have an Astrologer point out the days and dates when the planets are favorable for your interests. These are critical times and you need counsel and advice as never before. If you have made errors in the past, see that you do not make them in the future. There is no disputing the fact that the Astrologer can point out with remarkable accuracy and fortell coming events which are beyond the power of the average mind to foresee. Surely you are interested in yourself and want to know more about your future. We send you a lengthy Astrological Reading covering the entire year; one that you can consult today and prepare for what is coming tomorrow. As long as your star at Destiny is favoring you, your affairs will run smooth and prosper, but when the planets are in evil aspect everything goes wrong, you then say you are having "bad" luck.

JOHN ROY LYNCH EN- Well-known retired Army officer, Ex.Congressman, Distinguished Author and one of the most influential members of Race, commends Monitor Editorial—Served under General in Cuba—Speaks from twenty years' personal acquaintance of Candidate's Qualifications. "His Administration will be broad liberal, fair and just to all races, classes and groups of which our citizenship is composed," declares Lynsh. Major John R., Lynch, who has had a most distinguished and honorable public career for a half century as congressman, auditor of the navy, army officer and author, and has a wide acquaintance with public men, and is therefore in a position to speak with authority, most heartily endorses the candidacy of Major General Leonard Wood for the nomination for the presidency. Major Lynch speaks from a personal acquaintance with General Wood of more than twenty years, under whom he, served as army officer when Wood was military governor of Cuba. Writing from Chicago, where he now resides, under date of December 11, Major Lynch, commending the Monitor's editorial gives cogent reasons or General Wood's nomination which he hopes will be by acclamation. He writes: "Dear Father Williams: "I write to congratulate you upon and thank you for, the splendid editorial in The Monitor of the 4th inst., in support of General Leonard Wood for president of the United States. In this I assure you that you have made no mistake. I have known General Wood favorably and well for nearly twenty years, and can therefore speak of him personal knowledge and contact. "For President of the United States we would have in General Wood the right man in the right place. "Some say that we ought not to have a military man for president. We have had a military man for president immediately succeeding every war in which our country has been engaged. Why not follow that custom now, in view of the disputable fact that we have in General Wood a man that will measure up to the requirement of the occasion in every particular? "The present abnormal conditions growing out of the recent world war render it imperative that we place in the presidential chair a man of the experience, ability and calibre of General Wood. He is not merely a military man. He has demonstrated remarkable and splendid executive and administrative ability and capacity in every station he has been called upon to fill. It was my good fortune to serve him as an officer while he was the military governor of Cuba. It will not be denied that the country never had a better administration than it had under General Wood. "General Wood does not pose as the special friend and champion of any one race, class or group, but he believes in giving every one a square deal, regardless of race, color or nationality, and that is all we ask, expect or desire. Racial proscription and official segregation will neither be countenanced nor tolerated by him. In matters of official recognition the rule by which he will be governed will be merit and not race, fitness and not color. In other words no race or color line will be drawn by him or by any one else officially connected with his administration. His administration will be broad, liberal, fair and just to all races, classes and groups of which our citizenship is composed, whatever their race, color, nationality or religion, provided they are true and law-abiding Americans. He believes in national supremacy, human rights and manhood suffrage, because he will see that every American citizen is protected in the exercise and enjoyment of his civil and political rights at home as well as abroad, as far as it may be in the power of the chief executive to do so. Leonard Wood is the man of the hour. His nomination and election will be to the Colored American a new enunciation. It will give him new hope, encouragement and inspiration. It will strengthen and increase his loyalty to his country and his devotion to the flag and to our American institutions. Let us hope that popular sentiment in the party will be so thoroughly concentrated upon General Wood that the name of no other candidate will be presented to the convention and that he will be nominated by acclamation.

HEILIGH TO SWAT THE FLY Every Fly Your Swatter Misses Will Be Craddaddy of 10,000,000 Flies In Summer. (Star Service Health Hints). NEW YORK, April 2.—In a recent photoplay, Douglas Fairbanks, with the aid of camera trickery, walks on the ceiling just like a fly. The feat recalled a former long discussion as to what really enabled flies to walk on a ceiling. It used to be the theory that they owed their ability to perform the feat to each of their feet being a small air pump. Then someone came along and knocked this theory galley-west and folk said it was by means of a sticky substance which came from the hairs of their feet. Then a Dr. Rombouts proved that they hang on by the aid of capillary adhesion—that attraction between solid and liquid bodies. In fact, it was proved the attraction was so great that a fly could hang if it were nearly five ninths again as heavy as it is. As each fly is supposed to have from 9,000 to 11,000 foothairs, so it is fair to assume each hair is very minute. Flies find it difficult to mount a glass surface that is damp, because of the repulsion between the watery surface and the oily substance. When a fly makes its toilet, it is not doing so to look nice for leap year or anything like that, but really that it might adhere more easily. (That's the best time to swat 'em.) FEAR OF DISSECTING TABLE MAKES MAN CRAZY One Baltimore Negro Holds Police at Bay in Bloody Three-Hour Battle. (Star News Service). BALTIMORE, Md., Apr. 2.—Riddled by shots and probably mortally wounded, W. A. Scott, a Negro was captured last Saturday morning after a desperate three-hour battle waged from a barricaded house. Two policemen were wounded in the fracas and another Negro mistaken for the hunted man was shot three times by a policeman and beaten by a nash before it was learned that he was not the man. The belief which the police say is current among Negroes of the city that white physicians are abducting Colored persons for dissecting purposes was held by the authorities to be responsible for the trouble, which started in Druid Hill avenue, a thoroughfare largely populated by Negroes. An exchange of greetings between a white dentist and another white man, according to the police, inspired a crowd of Negroes with the belief that the dentist and his friend were looking for prey for the dissecting table and they started to beat the two whites. Two policemen in plain clothes arrested one of the Negroes whose friends succeed in releasing the prisoner. The plainclothesmen were reinforced by two other officers who attempted to arrest Scott. The Negro fled, firing his pistol at the policemen as he ran. The chase ended only when he entered the house in west Saratoga street, where he barricaded himself in the cellar. As the police approached he opened fire, wounding two. A riot call brought reserves from three districts, and several policemen entered the house while the others held the Negro at bay. The policemen in the house chopped away a part of the floor making "loopholes" through which they fired the contents of two heavily charged shotguns. The house was occupied by white people who fleed at the opening of the "battle." BOTTOM LANDS THREATENED Arkansas River Rose Nine Feet During Last Week. The effect of the spring melting in the distant Rockies where the Arkansas River has its source and of the recent cloud bursts in Kansas, was shown here last week by the rapid rise of the Arkansas River. Barely ten days ago the mighty sand bars under the Frisco and Midland R. R. bridges made it appear like one could easily wade across the stream, but not today. The rise has threatened to overflow the low lands along the banks and thus injure many farms already plowed and planted for the crop season. Tulsa county Negro farmers in town last Wednesday said they did not believe the river would rise much higher, and that they did not fear losses on account of overflow. Mrs. M. A. Johnson, mother of the late Dr. L. H. Johnston of Coweta, was a visitor in Tulsa Tuesday and I was a pleasant caller on the Star. Very truly yours, (Signed) JOHN R. LYNCH."

MeCORMICK DISCUSSES SOUTHERN AND BRITISH TYRANNY The Illinois Senator Makes a Fine Point in His Address on Egyptian Liberty. (A. N. P. Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2. In a recent speech in the Senate on the Egyptian situation Senator McCormick of Illinois said, "Mr. President there is another authority who might be consulted while the debate turns upon Egyptian right to liberty. In the third verse of the seventh chapter of Matthew it is written: Why beholdest thou the note that is in they brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? "It is true that the net result of British Government in Egypt has been the material development of the country to the neglect of the education of the people and their political advantages. But, Mr. President, if we are not to guarantee the government of Egypt, it is hardly a matter for our intervention. It would become us to inquire if in some measure we have not been responsible for a like neglect of some dark people with whose welfare we are charge under the Constitution of the Nitated States. My friend the Senator from Oklahoma, Mr. Owen, speaks of the imposition or the withdrawal of the protectorate in Egypt as an assumption of right on the part of the British, a right which does not exist. I cannot quarrel with him on that ground; but while we discuss the course of the British Government in that regard, I think we might inquire of our own conscience if we have done all that duty requires of us in regard to some 10,000,000 of people living under the Constitution of the Union. "It is written in the Constitution of the Republic that no citizen shall be disfranchised by reason of his color; it is written that if there be any general disfranchisement there shall be a diminution of the representation of the States effecting the disfranchisement. But these provisions of the Constitution are as dense as the liber of Egypt. But putting aside the question of political rights, consider that the country, North and South, during the last year has witnessed disgraceful mob murders. There have been four-score lynchings in the Union during the 12 months last passed. My own state of Illinois, has been the scene of violence on as great a scale as that in any other state in the Union during the last year. "As we sit in judgement upon others, so let us judge of our own duty. It does not become us to speak only of the dereliction of other people. If this Senate is to consider resolves upon the State of the ahe people of Egypt, ltt it make ready to resolve against mob murder and lynching in America." BOOKER WASHINGTON SCHOOL NEWS The Langston girls' basketball team, accompanied by Mrs. Marquess, wife of the president, and Mrs Thomas, Physical Director, invaded Tulsa Friday, March 19, and in a thrilling, hotly contested game, brought gloom to the Washington High School camp by coming out on the long end of a 15-12 score. The game was no discredit to the local team as the score clearly indicates and, though outplayed on this particular occasion, it is by no means certain that Langston has the better team. The game was anybody's until the last part of the second half when the Tulsa girls, making a brave upbill fight aided by the vociferous rooting of the home crowd, were unable to overcome the three point lead of the visitors. Langston's "length" especially at center proved too big an obstacle for our girls to overcome. Our girls are still champs in the high school division. A win over Langston would have given an undisputed state championship title. Athletic relations between the two schools have been firmly established since the playing of the two games, one at Langston with the boys and the other here. The treatment accorded the Tulsa party at Langston was such that we not only didn't want to leave but we can hardly wait for the time to come for us to go again. All members on the party were greatly impressed with the beauty, efficiency and spirit of the institution. The large student body of nearly 600 seemed to be happy, contented and full of "Langston." President Marquess is bringing things to pass that can only be appreciated by a visit to the school. HE WANTED TO BUY A PUP "I am writing at the suggestion of my little boy.

Barber, Mayor of Red Bird, pastor of the First Baptist Church at Tullahassee and the Coal Creek Baptist Church at Yahola was in the city Wednesday attending a district board meeting of the Northwest District Association, and while here called at the Star Office and left an order for a large supply of printed matter. Rev. Barber is one of the foremost Race men of this state and is an influential leader in his church circles. The Tide of Unrest is about to flood the entire world. In every direction there are the hurid sigus of rabid discontent and unwholesome social disruption. In fact the modern social structure is being shaken to its very foundation stones. We cannot halt our disquietude by any academic flourish of specious argument. The situation must be looked squarely in the face or else the "great catastrophe" is very near to us. Mere name has no genuine significance aside from the impressments of association. Successful Bolshevism may be only another name for an American Revolution or the beheading of a Charles or a Louis of kingly fame. What we really need is relief from the situations out of which there has been wantonly created the social instruments now threatening the life and being of the present social order. Social unrest comes when social disease spreads and threatens the truer social impulse of the lower strata of social organization. Let it be in Russia, Africa or in the southern United States of America, it comes whenever social oppression is carried to the place when the burden can no longer be borne with reasonable safety and comfort.

P, Service). man species, no more, no less; but the sophist who is opposed to woman's right to govern her own life, finds a rich field in anti-suffrage "arguments." Indeed there is no question more inviting to the sophist—unless it be the Negro question. Many white men reason alike on women and on the Colored races; the fundamental error is the assumption that they are reasoning about a different order of beings from themselves. The South, which has already fit itself to sophistry on the Negro question, is naturally the best trained for crooked reasoning on this woman question. For example, the editor of the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch Benevolently objects to "giving the vote to millions of women who do not want it." He does not want to force women to vote, That is so gallant. That is the merest sophistry; nobody could give the ballot to any man or woman who does "not want it." Nobody is to be compelled to vote. It is the purpose of suffrage to allow the vote to those who have sense enough to want it: None of the privileges of the "not want it's is to be taken away. But those who do want it, are to be given the same liberty (no more) as those who do not want it; namely, to freely exercise their own wants. When voting is allowed, then for the first time, those who want it and those who do not want it, will be on terms of equality. At present we have those enslaved who want it, while those who do not want it are perfectly free. Why should we be juster to the one class than to the other and what objection is there to being equally just to both? But why argue with a sophist? SOCIETY LEADERS FORM “BETTER MOTHERS” LEAGUE Their Plea is: "Let's Keep Children Children," But Oversee and Reform Their Pleasures. (Star News Service). PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 2.—The Colored Mothers of Oklahoma and elsewhere should take heed of one of the most interesting experiments ever undertaken in the United States by women of the highest social prominence, that experiment being the one in which the "Better Mothers" of Philadelphia have just enrolled. Society has frequently been accused of setting the pace in extravagance and elaborate entertainments, but in this instance it is taking the lead in checking the tendency toward extremes which was so markedly stimulated in the period immediately after the ending of the war. In New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Washington and other cities of the East, women of the wealthiest families are banded together in an effort to simplify amusements for their children. It is proposed to provide more rational and simple amusements and also to supervise the kind of plays children will be permitted to see at theatres. Particular attention will be paid to reducing the number of late parties given and attended, and a reform in the extravagant dresses of young misses, dresses far beyond their years, will be attempted. "Better Mothers" do not place a ban on mere fun, but they do expect to emphasize use of common-sense and reason in amusements. PAGE LIGHT Hill Will Not Go Back to Arkansas GOVERNOR ALLEN'S REFUSAL TO GRANT EXTRADITION OF ROBERT L. HILL TO ARKANSAS A GREAT VICTOR FOR THE N. A. A. C. P. NEW YORK, April 3.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued a statement in regard to the refusal of Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas to extradite Robert L. Hill, accused of being the leader of a plot to "massacre" whites in Phillips county, Arkansas, last October, which reviewed the legal steps taken to prevent Hill's extradition. This the Association regards as one of the greatest legal victories won since the Segregation Decision and since Governor McCall of Massachusetts denied extradition to West Virginia of John Johnson. "At the close of a hearing which lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon of March 22 until after midnight Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas refused to grant the extradition petition of Governor Borough of Arkansas for the return of Robt L. Hill, alleged head of the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America, to Arkansas. "Hill was arrested in Topeka, Kansas, on January 20, as the leader of the organization charged with planning to "massacre" whites in Arkansas in October, 1919. As soon as news of the arrest was received at the National Headquarters of the Association, the Secretary got in touch with Senator Author Capper (formerly President of the Topeka Branch of the Association and at present a member of the National Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P.), who wired Governor Allen asking that Hill's extradition be denied until the N. A. A. C. P. coute he represented by counsel to fight the case. The Association itself wired Governor Allen stating that the Association would retain counsel on Hill's behalf and alleging that Hill could not receive a fair trial in Arkansas; that this fact was conclusively proved by the record of trial and conviction growing out of the Phillips County, Arkansas, verdicts of last November, rendered by juries from which Colored men were excluded, the jury's verdict in the case of five of the twelve men sentenced to death, having been returned in five minutes. Counsel for the defense put no witnesses on the stand in defendant's behalf and did not ask for a change of venue. "Senator Capper recommended Mr. Hugh T. Fisher, County Attorney of Shawnee County, Kansas, to represent the Association in fighting Hill's extradition. Mr. Fisher's genuine interest in securing for Hill a fair trial is shown by the following extract from his letter to the N. A. A. C. P. in which he agreed to take up the case: "Immediately upon receipt of the telegram from Senator Capper I wired him to the effect that I would take the case upon his recommendation and without compensation, and that he should notify you to that effect." "From this time until the decision of Governor Allen was rendered, Mr. Fisher has worked untimely and with great legal ability in Hill's defense. "It was contended on Hill's behalf that he had no direct connection with Colored people arming themselves or with the trouble at Hoop Spur, Arkansas. By affidavits and depositions it was shown that the testimony at the Arkansas trial was procured through torture and that testimony offered by Arkansas authorities, who were represented by Attorne (General J. D. Arbuckle, was hearsay testimony. Mr. Fisher forced the Arkansas Attorney General to admit that O. S. Bratton, a white man of Little Rock, Arkansas was almost lynched and that a great deal of feeling and prejudice against Hill and his organization existed in Arkansas. "Following Governor Allen's denial of extradition, which was a great blow to the authorities, counsel for Hill and the N. A. A. C. P. immediately took a train for Kansas City, Kansas, arriving there just in time to prevent the Arkansas authorities from securing a writ from Federal Judge Pollock for Hill's removal to Arkansas on the ground of impersonating a federal officer, which counsel for the N. A. A. C. P. regard as a trivial and inconsequential charge. Judge Pollock refused to sign the papers and has set April 8 as the date for the hearing on the federal indictment. "Associated with Mr. Fisher and backed by the N. A. A. C. P., were three Colored Attorneys, of Topeka, Messrs. Elisha Scott, James H. Guy, and A. M. Thomas. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People regards Governor Allen's action as deeply significant," said John R. Shillady, Secretary of the Association. "Inasmuch as the Arkansas authorities were represented by the Attorney General of the State who appeared in person, and is indicative, the Association believes, of what would have happened in Arkansas had the ninety odd Colored defendants in the alleged uprising in Elaine had a fair trial before an unprejudiced jury where their rights were profected as they were by Mr. Fisher and his associates in Topeka, and not as in Elaine, Arkansas, where the defendants were represented by counsel appointed by the court who did practically nothing in their defense." ORGANIZED LABOR AND NEGRO WORKERS Urge Organized Action in Negro Labor Circles. This is the day of the workers, the organized worker. In Russia, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and America, those who produce the wealth of the world are demanding and getting more than ever before. The reason for this is that labor is becoming class conscious, it is realizing its power when organized, when intelligent. It is simple, it is elementary, that one hundred reeds joined together are harder to break than when separate. So it is with labor. An individual worker cannot fight organized capital. The concessions that labor has already won from big business, have been due only to labor's increasing intelligence and solidarity. Before the modern trades and industrial unions existed, working even toiled from sunrise to sunset. Of course, in the South, Negroes are still sweated 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 hours a day. The lumberjacks (white) in the West are no less mercilessly exploited. It is these indescribable industrial conditions that gave birth to the Industrial Workers of the World. Peonage pens and industrial hells of the South will eventually force Negro workers, too, into industrial unions With a slight knowledge of the history of labor struggles, Negro workers would recognize that no advantage, no benefit, no improvement ever came to labor except through organized action. It is true that some white labor unions ignorantly discriminate against Negro workers by refusing them admittance into their unions. Yet, that is no valid point against the value of the labor union to workers, black or white. Negro workers should form unions, in order to fight organized capital, on the one hand, and, to force organized white labor to practice the principles of brotherhood, on the other. The Messenger recognizes industrial action as the most effective weapons which the Negro can employ, both in the interest of himself as a worker, and as a Race. The census report of 1910 shows that there are over six million Negroes gainfully employed in the United States, or two million more workers than the American Federation of Labor has. Now, if the American Federation, with only four million workers, led by as incompetent and reactionary a leader as Samuel Gompers, can force the President and Congress to recognize it, by seeking its counsel upon practically every important national and international question, in war and peace, what will it not do under the economic pressure of two million organized Negro workers? On the cotton fields, Negro cotton workers produce nearly 60 per cent of the cotton of the entire world. Great banks in New York, London, Paris and Berlin dapend for their existence upon the sweat and toil of the Southern Negro cotton pickers, who are shamelessly robbed of the product of their labor—Negroes who are held in the chains of ignorance, superstition and avarice of cotton speculators, North and South. If Negroes formed a cotton workers union, to strike for more wages, shorter hours, and better conditions under which to work, it would arouse and frighten Southern, Northern and, too, foreign capitalists, because it would mean that the profits of capital would be smaller. For when wages are high, profits are low. The products of labor is divided into two parts: wages and profits. All above wages represents profits or surplus wealth. It a worker produces fifty dollars a day and receives only ten, in the form of wages, the extra forty dollars represents profits, which go to the employer. Now, the employer would like to give the workers only five dollars, as wages, and take forty-five as profits, and the only thing that prevents him is, either the shortage of labor or the power of labor, through organization, to resist capital. The worker, on the other hand, would like to get fifteen or twenty, or thirty or forty dollars as wages. But he can only get what he has the power to take through organized action, a labor union. The worker, in fact, would desire to receive the full product of his toil, the fifty dollars. But he will only get so far in his demands as his intelligence and power will carry him. Now the Negro can not get, nor will he get, any more than organized and intelligent in dustrial action will enable him to take. The Negro like the white THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, Ap. 1.3.1920.

Speaking on tuberculosis, Doctor Brown described a kissing test made at Saranac to determine whether the disease can be transmitted by contact of the lips. "We selected a pretty young woman with a bad case of tuberculosis, is and had her kiss a sterilized dish," said Dr. Brown.

MARVELOUS RE-ORGANIZATION SALE 203 South Main St. Formerly Coverdale's HOLMES CLOTHES SHOP 223 SOUTH MAIN JACKSONVILLE NEGROES BOYCOTT BIG WHITE INSURANCE COMPANY To boycott a business is to refuse to patronize a business. An insult, high prices, poor service, or low wages paid to its employees, might occasion a boycott. In fact, anything which displeases the patrons of a business might cause them to boycott it. Organized labor employs it against employers who refuse to grant its demands. The Chinese have used it most effectively against the Americans, the Japanese, the British, all foreigners who seek to rob them of their rich natural resources, such as coal and iron. It is a most powerful economic weapon because it causes business loss. It might result in completely banking a business. It most generally forces the business to grant the demands of the patrons. In Jacksonville, Florida, it is re-withdrew, in a body, from the white ```markdown ``` capitalist insurance companies, on the grounds that a white insurance agent was the leader of the mob that lynched two Negroes. Our hats off to the Negroes of Jacksonville! Here is a most striking and commendable case of intelligent and purposeful collective action. They, the Negroes, substituted an economic for a physical weapon. And it worked. In other words, they dealt the white, Bourbon, mobocratic capitalists a mortal blow in the pocket book. And they have driven their force arrogant, intolerant and autoeratic white oppressors to the ropes and the economic referee of profits—dollars and dividends—have counted them out. We learn that the former Southern insurance barons are now on their insurance, begging the Negroes to return. They are even employing Negro insurance agents to lure the Negroes back into the companies. Think of it!

But that is not all. It has affected the conduct of white men towards Negroes. No longer do white insurance solicitors walk into the homes of Negroes with their hats on. And their salutations are: "Mr. and Mrs. A. and B." But the Negroes have been honey-fuggled, soft-soaped and deceived too long to be taken in by such a transparent heax. They are not going back to the white capitalist insurance companies. They are organizing and maintaining their own. Such is the sound and correct thing to do. It is not a wise policy to supply your enemy with a club to beat you down with. And what can be a greater weapon in the hands of your enemy than your own hard dollars? With your dollars he sends his children to colleges, while yours are in the cotton fields. With your dollars, he carries on propaganda to poison public opinion against you. Negroes must employ their collective money-power, mental, muscle and moral power, in all parts of America, the West Indies and Africa, to improve their economic, political and social conditions. Negroes should withdraw from all of the insurance companies in the South and join their own. This will paralyze southern white business. This will force southern governors, mayors, chambers of commerce, bankers, brokers, wholesale merchants, all, to request the Negroes to state their demands, and the Jim-Crow car, disfranchisement and lynching will go allying. For when race prejudice ceases to pay, it will be thrown aside. The Southern white capitalist will allow nothing to stand in the way of his making profits, dollars, and dividends. When Southern and Northern business captains pull the strings, even Vardaman, Byrnes and John Sharp Williams will stop yapping against Negroes, and they will certainly pull the strings when Negro-baiting becomes a liability Negroes can make race prejudice a liability with the boycott.

His An Easter Carol by Minna Irving Awake! A shaft of heavenly fire Has touched the cloud and tipped the spire. The frosty clod no more is cold, The violet stirs beneath the mold, For this is Easter morning! Arise! The buds begin to swell, From bush and brake and field and fell A clear and joyous anthem floats From scores of little feathered throats, For this is Easter morning! Behold! The soul of man today Casts off the sepulcher of clay And, crowned with lilies, mounts the skies To walk with God in paradise, For this is Easter morning! (Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union.)

The spring has come, the birds are singing again after the long winter of ice It seems as if the Easter-teride was a particularly appropriate time for the carolling out of our joy. The spring has come, the birds are singing again after the long winter of ice and snow, and we mortals wake to joy again with them. Let us see how the people of ancient times observed Easter. "Carol," the word which we use in speaking of Easter music, means a song of praise, between a hymn and a ballad, a song which was used first to accompany a dance. One of the mos: beautiful of these old carols had its origin in the southwestern part of France, and is called "The Carol of the Flowers." It runs thus: Come with us, sweet flowers, and worship Christ, the Lord; Let your perfume hover round the Babe adored. Modest violet, hiding in the grassy shade, Thou canst say how humble He is made. Lily fair, low bending in the sun's warm light, Thou dost tell that He is pure as thou are white. As thou, pansy, shinest forth in bright array, So doth He his majesty display. As thou, rose, wide opening, do thy scent impart, So His love expanding, draws each sinful heart. Easter time seemed especially the season that the ancient people were moved to compose folk songs, which were not written down as music is A written now, but which were sung, from generation to generation of people. In this way they were kept alive, as surely as if they had been printed, or written on parchment, according to the custom in ancient days. These folk songs depicted scenes in the garden of Gethsemane where the Saviour walked, or of the women who went to the tomb bearing precious spices, of their finding the empty tomb, of the white-robed angel, and of Mary, the virgin mother. One of the most beautiful of all the songs which have been written of this event is Handel's "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth." This has been sung on Easter for many years, in churches. body was taken to Topeka, for burial. "NEGRO MUSIC" IS MAN- KIND'S GREATEST GIFT So Declares Prof. Albert Bushnell in Addressing Tuskegee Students (A. N. P. Service). TUSKEGEE, Ala., Apr. 3.—Tuskegee Institute, recently was honored by a visit from Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, eminent historian and Professor of History at Harvard Universi- IV. Dr. Hart spoke to the students and delivered a most forceful address. He began by saying that he had a right to come to Tuskegee because he came from along line of abolitionists. He paid tribute to the late Booker T. Washington, and Dr. R. R. Moten, principal, referring to each of them as being a "king of men." "Negro music," he said, "was one of America's greatest gifts to mankind." GEE! HERE'S A WHITE GUY WHO'S FOUND US OUT He Never Heard of the Oklahoma Negroes Who Swallowed "Chief Sam" and Howard Banks," Hook, Bait and Line. (A. N. P. Service). NEW LONDON, Conn., April, 2.—The "Commentator" of the Telegraph of this city has this to say concerning the Race in a recent issue of that paper: "Now the queer thing to me is, that the Negro after being able to see quite clearly thus far, should seddently go blind. A good many people have the notion that the black man is a sort of Simple Simon, shamefully easy to trick and delude, the ready victim of every faker who pleases to make a fool of him. He's nothing of the kind. Did you ever hear of a Negro buying a gold brick or a block of green goods? I never did. In fact, behind his easy going apparent simplicity, Mr. Johnsing is liable to have stowed away about as much native shrewdness as most folks of similar education. If his mental processes are not so intricate as those of some Cauasians they are quite likely to arrive at the same destination by a more direct and less laborious route, If a white man succeeds in making a monkey of a Negro it is generally not because the Negro doesn't know he is being made a monkey of but because he would rather play monkey than not play anything." ANOTHER NEGRO YOUTH MADE RICH AS CROESUS 1500 Barrel Oil Well Discovered on His Land Brings Him $750.00 Every Day. (Star News Service). MUSKOGEE, Apr. 2.—A new millionaire Negro youth, a Creek freedman, who bids fair to surpass the record of Sarah Rector for riches has sprung into prominence by discovery of a 1,500 barrel well on his allotment near Jennings, Okla., and bright prospects for numerous more wells of like production. His name is Leonard D. Ingram, he's 17 years old, and he lives with his mother and step-father, Charles Jones, in the north part of Muskogee. Ingram owns 160 acres two and a half miles southeast of Jennings, Oklahoma. The land was north of the proven Cushing field and was not considered a particularly good oil prospect until about a year ago when production came in north of the allotment. Gets 1,500 Barrel Well. On Monday, March 15, a well was brought in in the northeast corner of his allotment with a production of 1,500 barrels a day, of high grade oil. The oil is selling now at $4.00 a barrel, fifty cents above the posted market price. The royalty on this one well brings him an income of $750 a day. Just to the east of his property, as an offset to this well, is another well making 2,600 barrels a day. Three other locations, offsets to the 1,500-barrel well, have been made and drilling is to start soon. On the southwest corner of his property, a well is down 400 feet now, and three other wells are drilling on adjoining property, off-setting this hole. One of the three is 1,900 feet deep, another between 300 and 400 and the other just spudded in. The lease on Ingram's property is held by the Prairie Oil and Gas company, but three other companies are interested in the off-sets. Four Companies Drilling. The fact that four companies are drilling at once on the southwest corner, without waiting to see if the other wells will prove producers, is good evidence that the oil men think there are excellent prospects for big producers all over the lease. A few wells like the 1,500-barrel hole, and Ingram will be the richest Creek freedman in Oklahoma. Margaret Ingram, sister of Leonard, owns 160 acres a mile and a half south of her brother's land, and it too, may prove to be valuable. The boy's property is under control of the county court of Muskogee county, with his step-father, Charley Jones as guardian. Prof. Johnson Passes Through The Star reporter caught a glimpse of Prof. J. R. Johnson of Taft in the Frisco depot Tuesday. The reporter had no chance to interview him but felt the Professor had things in ship shape where he had left and would have them the same way where he was going, soon after he arrived. That is his style.
