Quesionaire. The Struggle for Votes of Women Will Overshadow The Old Time Strife of Controlling the Negro Vote. (N. A. A. C. P. Service) NEW YOHK, N. Y., Apr. 23.—Following is the questionaire as sent out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to presidential candidates: "If elected President: 1. Will you favor the enactment of laws making lynching a Federal offense? 2. What is your attitude toward the disfranchisement of Americans of Negro descent? (a) Will you advocate that Congress enforce the 14th Amendment and reduce the representation of states which disfranchise their citizens or (b) will you advocate the appointment of United States Commissioners to enforce the 15th Amendment? 3. Will you endeavor to bring about the abolition of "Jim Crow" cars in interstate traffic? 4. Will you withdraw armed or other interference with the independence of Haiti? 5. Will you urge national aid to elementary education with out discrimination against Negro children? 6. Will you pledge the apportionment of Negro soldiers and Negro officers in the armed forces of the United States in proportion to their numbers in population? 7. Will you abolish racial segregation in the Civil Service of the United States?" Here is the result: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today announced that fifteen of the seventeen presidential candidates failed to reply to a questionaire sent them by the Association on February 1 and repeated on March 12, asking their views on seven main issues which Colored people regard as fundamental. The questionaire asked whether they were in favor of the enactment of federal laws against lynching; whether they would advocate Congressional enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment by reduction of representation of states which disfran- PROF. WOOD COMMENDS LANGSTON UNIVERSITY Kesents Use of His Name in Pamphlet Attacking State School. To Editor Tulsa Star: Dear Sir: Permit me to call your attention and that of the numerous readers of the Tulsa Star to the following statement made necessary by the unauthorized publication of my name in a pamphlet being circulated in Oklahoma, entitled "President of Langston University on Trial." In this pamphlet there appears a recommendation signed by me. It is true, I signed the recommendation all right, but I desire Prof. J. M. Marquess, president of our State School, his associates and the general public to know and understand that said recommendation was not given by me to be used as a club to attack or fight President Marquess and his corps of teachers at Langston. The recommendation was given the lady mentioned in said pamphlet purely and simply for the purpose of aiding her to secure employment as a teacher. There was not the slightest understanding on my part, that said recommendation should ever be published and used to the detriment of those whom ```markdown ``` THE TULSA STAR Despite the repetition on March 12 of the questionnaire, no further replies have been received except acknowledgment of the receipt of the questionnaire by secretaries of five of the candidates. "The questions asked by the Association on behalf of the Colored people of America," says the Association in its statement, "are regarded by Colored voters as vital national issues to twelve million American Negroes. Failing to reply to these straightforward questions will be regarded by the Colored people as a distinct evasion of the issues upon which they feel deeply." The questionnaire was sent to the following men: Herbert Hoover, William G. McAdoo, Governor Goodrich of Indiana, Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, Senator Hitchcock, Governor Cox of Ohio, Senator Warren G. Harding, Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, Senator Hifam W. Johnson, Senator Miles Poindexter, Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, and General John J. Pershing, Senator Pomerena, James W. Gerard, Senator Underwood, General Leonard Wood. I hold in highest respect and esteem. I am indeed sorry to see my name appearing in this book, under a recommendation given for the reasons stated above, and thus attempt to embroil me in a matter concerning which I have no knowledge and in which I have no desire to be embroiled. I am hopeful this may clear up any misunderstanding that may have arisen from this uncalled for use of my name. I wish to add further, that I made a visit to the State School recently, and must say, that every body seemed to be perfectly satisfied, and the large body of students were making admirable progress in all departments.

Race Riot is Averted in Muskogee Prominent Muskogee Citizen Saves Boy From Injury at Hands of Police Officer. (Star News Service) MUSKOGEE, Okla., Apr. 19.—Probable Race trouble was narrowly averted here last night when W. C. Reed, a wealthy real estate man of this city interfered and stopped Bud McAfee, a police officer from roughly handling a Colored boy whom he had arrested for an alleged violation of the Jim Crow Law while riding on a street car. The boy, who is a son of Lee Edwards, a well known citizen here, had been arrested by the officer in response to a call to police headquarters from a station on the car line after a short chase and was being slapped and otherwise abused by the officer when W. C. Reed observed the incident from his office and running down stairs interceded. He demanded the officer to show his authority and told him in good old United States that there would be something doing if he struck the boy again. The officer then placed Mr. Reed under arrest. "I'll go with you," he told the officer. "I want to go anyhow to see that you don't abuse this boy any more." At police station Mr. Reed put up cash bond for himself and the boy. A large crowd of angry Colored citizens followed the trio to the police station. The cases have been dismissed. MIDLAND VALLEY CALLED TO TASK Complaint Filed by Attorney Spears Receives Attention of State Corporation Commission. Attorney I. H. Spears, our well known and popular disciple of Blackstone, has interested himself in bringing about better treatment of Colored travelers on the Midland Valley railroad, especially on the train which leaves Muskogee at 11 and reaches Tulsa at 1 P. M. The attorney was a passenger on a recent trip and the treatment he and others had to endure prompted him to take notice and file a complaint with the state Corporation Commission. In reply he has received the following which is a copy of letter sent by the Commission to the railroad officials: Corporation Commission, Oklahoma City, Okla. April 20, 1920. Mr. A. W. Lefeber, V.

Man Kills His Wife to Save Himself Stormy Domestic Life Ends With Tragedy Saturday Morning. The people of Tulsa were shocked a little before noon last Saturday when the report was flashed over the city that Dr. W. J. Woods, a Mechano-Therapy practitioner of this city had shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Mammie Woods in a duel of several minutes in which several shots had been exchanged. It seems that the couple had quarrelled in their home 402 North Greenwood shortly after returning from down town. A pistol shot rang out and a short fraction of a second later, Dr. Woods ran out the back door of their home crying, "Oh, Hun, don't shoot me any more; I haven't done anything." Mrs. Woods followed closely behind him still shooting saying, "I'm going to kill you," according to eye witnesses to the tragedy. Dr. Woods con...ued to run until he reached his Ford sedan which was standing near the house with his wife pursuing him, firing at him as fast as she could. Witnesses say after each shot she turned her back and cocked her revolver and then turning would fire again at her husband. She had fired several shots at him when he finally took a revolver from the sedan and fired several shots, intending he says to frighten her away. This did not have the desired effect and he took a point blank aim and fired. This shot caught her as she was turning or just after she had turned, entering her back killing her almost instantly. Dr. Woods rushed to his fallen victim saying, "Oh God, I've killed my wife!" Plainclothesman J. H. Smitherman arrived on the scene a few minutes later and placed the man under arrest. It was then learned that he was shot in the right hip, and he was carried to the Frissell hospital where he is still confined, awaiting his ability to attend his preliminary hearing. In the hospital Sunday Dr. Woods related to a Star reporter the many little storms of his domestic life, leading up to the tragic end Saturday morning. According to a statement made by Dr. Woods and which has been confirmed by Dr. Motley, their family physician, his wife was a user of "dope." "My wife was the sweetest woman in the world," he said, "when she was not under the influence of drugs, and she was dangerous when she was." Mrs. Wood's body was shipped to Nowata Tuesday by the Jackson Undertaking company. Muskogee, Okla. Dear Sir: Commission is attaching a copy of a complaint, which apparently needs no comment.

Apr. 19—Amob estimated to have numbered 1,000 persons late today surrounded the jvil at Mulberry, near here, and seized an unknown Colored man pidentified as having attacked « ‘oung white girl this morning and hesged him to a telephone pole. The mob made no attempt to mo- slest a white youth who, with the Colored man, was captured by a posse this afternoon, i; Immediately after the lynching the youth was removed from the jail by the authorities who did not announce their destination, | the attack upon the young wom- an took place while she was on the way to Mulberry from her home near that place. She was found tied to two trees, by a small boy placing in that vicinity. Her throat was slashed. According to. physic- lone she probably will recover: lumediately after she was found, a posse started in pursuit of her assailant. After their capture by the posse. the youth and the Negro were tak- en back to Mulberry, where, offi- cials announced, both the young woman and the youth identified the Negro as the assailant, News of the arrest spread rapidly and the mob soon gathered. The crowd held the officers back, the others pried the bars from the sindow, dragged the Negro through the opening and led him to_ the phone pole, A rope was produced and the hanging then took place. According to reports reaching here, the crowd remained in the vicinity some time and then dispers- cd. The Negro's body was cut dawn by officers tonight and sent to Mulberry, Details of the attack were told the authorities by the white youth, who said his home was in Springfield, Il!,, and that he was on his way to California, He declared he met the Negro near Mulberry early today. ‘The young white woman was ac- costed by the Negro while they were walking down the railroad tracks, according to his story. He said that when he refused to assist in the attack, the Negro threaten- ed him, After the attack, he said, he and the Negro walked to Mul- herry where the latter compelled hiny to buy cartridges for a shot- kun, Their capture soon followed. Negro Was Shot. When captured the Negro was found to have been hit by a .22-cali- ber bullet, the wound presumably having been inflicted by the posse in making the arrest. Sheriff’ Gould stated tonight that a coroner's in- quest would be held and the find- ings of the jury would determine what further action would be tak- en in the case, He estimated the mob to be 1,500 strong. It was re- ported by the officials that the girl idertified the Negro in the jail be- fore the lynching. The Negro was |meae to climb the telephone pole. The rope dangled from the neck of the doomed man, He was forced to release his hold on the pole, His body dropped into mid-air and vas stopped in its descent with a sud- den jerk by the rdfe that was thrown over the cross arm, Unable to Disperse Mob. Sheriff Gould stated that he ad- cressed the mob three times in his elforts to cause it to disperse.

E D, JEFFERSON, Grand Master SHALL THE DEAD BE RESURECT ED AND LIVE AGAIN? voice of the ark angel, and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with him in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1 Thes. 4: 13-16). Here the Apostle, however, is discussing particularly the resurrection of the Church, that these shall be first resurrected. Afterwards shall come the resurrection of mankind in general. The purpose of their awakening out of death is to give them a fair trial for life everlasting. The apostle gives this thought when he says, "For it is the will of God that all men be saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth." (1 Thes. 2: 3-4). The salvation here mentioned is the salvation from death provided by the merit of Christ Jesus. CONTINUED NEXT WEEK. RICHARD J. HILL CALL MILLER TAXI LINE For Quick and Prompt Service.

THE FELLOW WHO allows jealousy and envy to inspire and prompt his actions in any direction usually pays a big price for his experience. THE OVERALL CLUB may be airright—so far as it goes—but what we need more than anything else is some kind of movement to make it possible for a newspaper editor to be on equal terms with other dilligent toilers when it comes to eating. THE STAR HAS ITS FAULTS, doubtless. But who has none? It must be acknowledged, however, that we have the most completely equipped newspaper plant in the Southwest, and hence are best prepared for publishing a journal full of the best class of race news and for executing in a superior manner all kinds of commercial printing. THE TULSA STAR is not a mere possibility nor a probability it is an established fact, with an assured future. We make this statement because one of the future city officials is reported as having said that the Star would die during the next two years. This may be the hope of some of our republican friends but it asvain as the howl of the canine that barks at the moon. The Star will continue to espouse the cause of true democratic principles under the banner of democracy and we will not ask any advice or any assistance from our political adversaries. We lived through the two years of a former republican administration and there is no reason to believe that we can not survive the next two years. THE SUNDAY'S NEW YORK TRIBUNE contains an explanation of the views of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, one of the prominent American women who as feminine Moses have labored many years in leading their charges to the Promised Land—women's suffrage. She opposes the idea of forming a women's party and urges American women to go into the political parties of their choice and cast their lots with other citizens. The same things should guide women in their voting that should guide men, says Mrs. Catt. She especially emphasizes the admonition that: "Voters, men and women, should look forward." The Star heartily commends this "looking forward" attitude of Mrs. Catt. We are glad to be able to refer with pride to the position taken by our Colored Women of Tulsa, who in the recent city election espoused and supported the candidates of the Tulsa democracy. Our women were looking forward and were wise in doing so. Unfortunately there are too many of our group, both women and men, who persist in looking backward. There is absolutely nothing to be gained in so doing. It is simple and plain. A vote cast today cannot affect to a hair's breadth any thing that occurred yesterday, last month, last year or fifty years ago. Your vote today, however, does have influence upon tomorrow—the veiled and unknown future in which all our hopes and fears are to be revealed. Why worry about the past? "Look forward" and "let the dead past bury its dead." FEW PEOPLE outside of our group can possibly realize the sting, the humiliation, the hardships that black men and women are forced to endure under the provisions and interpretation of the so called "Jim Crow" law. A careful study on the part of any social student will convince that it is contrary to a Christian sense of fairness, utterly incompatible and conducive to more friction between the races than any other policy of public probity known in our government. It is a false theory which must some day be overthrown. But the solution must be found by big brave men of a later day, no doubt in the near future. In the meantime, we must continue to suffer the evils of the law such as are so often seen on the railroad trains and street cars—enought to make desperadoes of men who have always enjoyed an enviable record as law abiding citizens. When we board a train after paying first class fare and find ourselves ushered into an all-too-small and ill-kept compartment set aside especially for our group and designated "For Negroes" where men and women are most times compelled to sit together and use the same public conveniences, and realize that we are barred from the Pullman and chair cars behind, simply because we belong to the black race, we are forced to marvel that great America, the proud United States of America, should seek to espouse the cause of oppressed peoples of other lands while her own go begging for merex and justice. this faree must end some place, sometime and it looks like the oppressed must take the lead in bringing the end about. To start with, let us at all times insist on a full and complete enforcement of the law while it is a law and demand at all times a strict observance of our full rights under the provisions thereof. Let's make a study of this particular law so we will know it and then let's observe it and compel the other fellow to do likewise. The Supreme Court of the United States has held that in states where Separate Coaches are maintained for the two races (all races except ours may ride together) that the railroad company must furnish exact and equal accommodation for both races. This means that we are entitled to every comfort and convenience provided for white passengers, but we don't get it, and the reason is plain: We don't demand it. We have a right to demand it and if necessary we have a right to fight for it. Now let's have it. Recently, Prof. Wm. Hutton a refined man of our group boarded a train and took a seat in the smoker in "our compartment." He had not gone far when the conductor came in removed the "Jim Crow" sign and ordered him and several other Colored men out in order to make room for a few white men. The Colored ladies' compartment of the train was already crowded and Mr. Hutton refused to move. An argument ensued, but he held his position. The result was that the conductor replaced the sign and ordered the white men out. This is the kind of interpretation of the infamous "Jim Crow" law that makes the infernal thing so obnoxious to black men. We need more men like Mr. Hutton who know the law, who know their rights under the law and if need be will fight to enjoy them.

It is reported that a number of Muskogee banks contributed liberally toward the fund to continue the schools. Miss Towler, the efficient and intelligent T. B. Nurse, was tendered a reception last week by Mrs. L. C. Clark and her mother, Mrs. C. Buckingham. Quite an enjoyable time was had. Attorney R. E.

Adams, the well known and successful North Second street merchant, has organized a company, which will soon pull off a stunt in real estate circles creditable to the Race. The Hotel Givens under its present management is catering to and rendering satisfactory service to many of the best people of Oklahoma and other states who visit Muskogee frequently. Quite a happy crowd of teachers and pupils of city schools attended the closing exercises of the school out near Haynes last week. Prof. C. C. Buttran is preparing his program for closing of the Baptist College at Pecan Mission and expects to have a celebration exceeding any previous year. N. Fuller, well known proprietor of the People's Cafe, has purchased a three story business on North Second street and will alter it for use of the professional people who must soon vacate the Escoe Building which is to be remodeled in such a way as to exclude Afro-Americans in the future.

This store carries one of the most complete lines of fancy and staple groceries to be had anywhere, as it is the proprietor's ambition to always have on hand just what any of his many customers call for. Mr. Williams is a natural born merchant and goes about his daily tasks with a keen eye ever watchful of the welfare and satisfaction of his patrons. It goes without saying that a genial and affable gentleman, such as Mr. Williams is, is very deserving of generous backing by the people living in this community. Ethiopian Conference Meets Okmulgee.

Chaulloughlozclcise, president of the Conference. It was shown at this meeting that the conference under the direction of the Prince is operating three stores, one at Okmulgee, one at Haskell and one at Earlsboro, and that the organization has acquired considerable real estate. J. C. McGee of this city is general manager of the stores and under his supervision other stores will be started in communities where branches of this organization have been established. Prof.E. M.B. Hendrix general secretary of the conference says the organization is rapidly spreading its influence all over the state and that the sale of stock during the past few months has increased daily. Nearly $1000 worth of stock was sold during the conference meeting here Friday and Saturday. Inter-Racial Co-Operation In slavery days there was in the South a class of Negroes whose skill as workmen and whose personal devotion to their masters' interest excited general praise. They were the house servants (chief of whom was Mammy), the foreman in the fields, and the mechanics, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, coopers, etc. It was into the hands of this class of slaves that the masters, when the Civil War came on, compiled the care of their plantations and their women and children. So faithful were these blacks that during the entire period of the war there was not a single instance of a betrayal of the trust committed to their hands. After emancipation what became of this house-servant and mechanic class, the most intelligent element of the slave population? To a large extent its members established homes for themselves, acquired property, and became the leaders in getting the Race started on the road to that remarkable progress which, after fifty years, is the wonder and admiration of the world. Thus it came to pass that the best element in the Negro race got more or less out of touch with the best element of the white race. The descendants of this house-servant and mechanic class are today the preachers, teachers, doctors, mechanics, farm owners, and business men, who, as leaders of their race, live in their own world apart from the whites. They are the new order of black men, whom, through the medium of the Southern Sociological Congress, and in other ways, the New South is coming to know and, to some extent, to understand. They are a part of the South. They are disposed to be as devoted to the interests as their fathers were to the interests of their masters. It is through this new order of black men that interracial co-operation can be made effective.—Southern Workman. E. D.

All these doctrines completely deny the great ransom sacrifice. The Hamsom Sacrifice is the key note to every doctrine, as to whether or not it is true or false. In other words, it is the measuring rod by which every teaching can be measured and can be determined whether any doctrine is true or false. Thus we see that if the Bible teaches clearly and conclusively the resurrection of the dead and the doctrine of the great Ransom Sacrifice, the other doctrines of inherent immortality, eternal torment, and spiritism, are as false as the devil himself, and this we will prove by the scriptures. Bansom means, literally, "a corresponding price." God created the first man, Adam, perfect in organism and character. He gave him his law, the penalty of which prescribed, death for it's violation, He, Adam, violated the law and death came upon him. While under that sentence of death he begal children. He did not beget any children while in a perfect state and condition but after he had violated God's just law and the sentence of death passed upon him and he was driven out of the garden. Being legally condemned and having the death process in him, and feeding upon the poisneous elements of the earth and being in a dying condition, necessarily Adam could not transmit to his off-spring the perfect life germ. The race not being born until after Adam's sin would legally come under condemnation by inheritance. Therefore, all of Adam's progeny were born in sin—an imperfect condition. (By RICHARD J. HILL) To those who accept the Bible as the word of God, the Creator and Finisher of all things, there is little difficulty in showing to them through the Bible the fact and philosophy of the Resurrection of the dead. The faithful Job, after suffering great bodily pain and mental anguish, after praying that he might die and go to hell, the grave, and there rest in silence until the wrath of God be over passed, asked the question, "If a man die shall he live again?" (Job 14: 14). Millions have asked this question since that time and had it been fairly treated and honestly answered by those the preachers, who claim to teach the word of God, much sorrow would have been avoided in the earth. According to statistics furnished, approximately nine million men were the victims of the Great World War just past. Within that same period twelve million fell victims to the great dreaded pestilence, "Spanish Influenza." For some years now in addition to this the average death rate, in the world, has been approximately one hundred thousand per day. When there is a great catality and many people lose their lives, the peoples of earth stand amazed and shocked, but in the daily routine of affairs death has become so common that many think it must always be this way. Most naturally the people have looked to something upon which they could base their hopes for the future for themselves and their loved ones. Truly this is an earth of sorrow, the sorrow of the people bowed down under the great burden of sin, groaning and travailing for something that would deliver them from it. The poet has well expressed it when he says: "The Earth is old with centuries, But not for this she hangs her head; Closer to her heart the sorrow lies, She holds so many dead." From the bloody battle fields broken regiments have returned and some fathers, mothers and sweet-hearts have waited at the station and looked in vain for the coming of the one they have dearly loved and they have asked. "Shall we ever see him again?" "If they have fallen in the battle is there any hope of our being united again in happiness and love?" The scripture alone answers this question satisfactorily. Evidently, this was David's thought when he said, "Behold I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me." (Psa. 15: 1.) Every child born is imperfect a sinner subject to death not because of any wilful wrong child inherited this condition from father Adam. St. Paul corroborates this when he says, "By one man's sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." (Brom. 5: 12). Every one dies therefore, because he can not avoid it, and this death would be eternal had not God graciously provided a ransom price or redemptive process. Jehovah made promise, saying, "I will ransom them from the power of the grave. I will redeem them from death. Oh, Death, I will be thy plagues; Oh Grave, I will be thy destruction." (Hos. 13: 14.) He it noticed here that he did not promise to redeem or ransom any one from a conscious state of hell torture, but his promise is entirely consistent with all the other scripture, that the dead are dead and waiting the progressive steps of Jehovah's plans to awaken them out of death. A perfect man (Adam) sinned. Nothing but a perfect man could redeem him. God provided in his law, "A life for a life, a tooth for a tooth. Man has ever desired redemption and deliverance, but to carry this out for himself was an impossibility. Hence, the Psalmist wrote, "None can by any means redeem his brother or give God a ransom for him." (Psa. 49; 7). In his prehuman condition, Jesus was the logos. He was God's active agent in the creation of all things, God promised to deliver mankind and the one who should accomplish this deliverance would be honored above all others and he offered this honor to Jesus. Consequently his life was transformed from the spirit to human conditions. "He was madeflesh and dwelt among us." (John 1: 14). The whole race being under the condemnation of death desired life, and Jesus said, "I am come that ye might have life." (John 10: 10). Of him the Apostle Paul writes, "We see Jesus who was made a little lower than the Angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that he of the grace of God might taste death for every man." (Heb. 2: 9). He was born of a woman not begotten of man, being begotten by the power of Jehovah. (Luke 1: 35). When he reached the age of thirty years he was a perfect man, physically, mentally, in character, every way. He exactly corresponded with Adam in Eden before he sinned. Therefore, he was able to become a sorrow, a corresponding price. He offered himself in full consecration to the Father. God accepted him and beget him to the divine nature. He was crucified upon the cross and was raised from the dead by the Father's power and ascended upon high, with the price sufficient to redeem all mankind. Why did God permit his beloved son to come to the earth and die? "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3: 16). His, Jesus, resurrection from the dead is a complete guarantee that all the dead shall be awakened. The Apostle Paul says, "There shall be a resurrection of the dead both of the just PAGE THREE In the Apostle's argument concerning the resurrection of the dead in First Cor. 15. After arguing the negative side of the question he assumes the positive side and says, "But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruit of them that slept." (Verse 20). In other words, for four thousand years man had been dying and in that time none had been resuredect. Now Jesus, the perfect one had come. He had suffered death and God had raised him up from the dead and he was the first that ever was raised up. Continuing his argument St. Paul says, "For since by man came death, by man (Jesus) came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all died, even so all in Christ shall be made alive, but every man in his own order. Christ the first fruits, afterward, (after the resurrection of the Christ) they that are Christ at his appearing." (Verses 21-23). Thus he establishes the fact that until the second coming of Christ, the dead must remain dead, fully unconscious, out of existence, and at the second coming of Christ the resurrection takes place. This same Apostle continuing his argument in his esthetic to the Thessalonians, says, "But I would not have you ignorant brethren concerning them that are asleep, (dead). That ye sorrow not even as others have no hope for if we believe that Jesus died and arose again even so them which are sleeping, (in death) in Jesus will God bring with him. (Otherwise stated, not until the coming of Jesus, will those asleep in death be awakened). For this we say unto you, by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout and the (Continued on page Eleven) ARE YOU SICK!

SAPULPA, Okla., Apr. 23.—Buster Carter, 6-year-old girl of this city, was burned to death and Callie Carter, an 18-year old sister, received burns which may prove fatal when a can of gasoline exploded in their home here shortly after noon today. A fire which followed the explosion was checked by neighbors without the aid of the local fire department. The older girl said that she was starting a fire and had mistaken the gasoline for kerosene and poured a quantity of the liquid into a small blaze in a cook stove. The body of the small sister was taken to Mitchell-Flemming Undertaking parlor. DISCHARGES PRISONER Court Holds Testimony Against Mans Not Sufficient to Warrant Jury Consideration of Case. Sustaining a demurber by counsel for H. P. Coker, to the testimony offered by the state against the defendant, charged with the larceny of two automobile tire casings on September 6, 1919. Coker was discharged at the conclusion of his trial yesterday in district court by Judge Redmond S. Cole. Coker maintained he was the driver of an automobile in which Leon Collins rode on the night of the theft and that although Collins obtained two tires from an alley on West Third street, this defendant stated through his counsel, that he did not know the tires to have been stolen property. Collins entered a plea of guilty several weeks ago to the charge of theft of the tires valued at $76.50, from the Steiner Tire company on East Second street, and was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. Coker, claiming he was hired by Collins to drive to a point ARE Your "I will Get Wet" Mechano-Therapy is a scientific me and correcting that cause by sure on the nerves that pass o (life).

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. Nerve pressure at this point causes so-called nervousness, heart disease, asthma, pneumonia, tuberculosis, difficult breathing and other lung troubles. So-called stomach and liver troubles, enlargement of the spleen, pleurisy and a score of other troubles are caused by pressure on nerves in this part of the spine. At this point we find the cause of so-called gall stones, dyspepsia of upper bowels, fevers, shingles, hiccough, worms, and many other inco-ordinations. Pressure on nerves at this point will cause so-called Bright's disease, diabetes, floating kidney, skin diseases, boils, eruptions and rheumatism. Such troubles as so-called appendicitis, peritonitis, lumbago, etc., yield to Mechano-Therapy adjustments in this part of the spine. Why have so-called constipation, rectal troubles, sciatica, etc., when adjustments at this part of the spine will eliminate the cause?

Forces of Carranza in Chihuahua Desert, Reports Say. SONORA ARMY GAINS Continue March Toward Mazatlan Important: Port on West Coast of Mexico. AGUA PRIETA, Sonora, Apr. 20. The revolutionary movement of Sonora against President Carranza is gaining ground rapidly, military headquarters here report. Gen. J. M Pina, commander of the Sonora troops in this district announced Gen. Francisco Urbalejo, with his Carranza force at Santa Rosalia Chihuahua, had revolted and would take the field for the Sonora movement. Urbalejo was reported to have 400 Yaqui Indians under his command. Other unofficial reports of other Carranza troops in Chihuahua revolting also were received, it was said. Santa Rosalia is on the Mexican Central railroad which runs south from Jaurez, Chihuahua. It is in a district that Francisco Villa widely used for his operations. With Urhalejo operating in that country it was said, great damage could be dore to Carranza's line of communications between the south and troops in northern Chihuahua. Military headquarters at Hermosillo also sent out a report today that the troops of Gen. Angel Flores were continuing their march toward Mazatlan, an important west coast port of Mexico. From Nogales, Sonora, came the report the independent state government of Sonora, through its secretary of state, Saborquez, had issued a statement guaranteeing protection to all commercial interests in Sonora. Great Demand For Trained Teachers WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 21.—The School of Education of Howard University has not been able the past year to supply more than one-fourth of the requests made upon it for teachers for secondary schools and colleges. This means an average of four positions for every graduate which we turned out during the past year. Graduates of this school are scattered numerously throughout the country as deans of colleges, principals and teachers in high and normal schools, elementary schools and kindergarten.

Tribulations of Pale Faced Folks It does not matter how white a Negro person may be in any community, if he is known to be of the Negro Bace, he is limited in the exercise of all his rights and privileges of citizenship, in politics in public affair, as a wage-earner, as a churchman, in social affairs. It is not possible for such a person to be satisfied with his life or the results of his labors as a citizen—The Washington, D. C., Eagle. The Unamerican American Press The press creates public sentiment. Patriotism and national self-preservation demand that sentiment should be such as to bind all Americans, no matter what their ancestry, more closely, together and not extrange them.

The Piedmont Sanatorium, the State sanatorium for the treatment of incipient and moderately advanced cases if tuberculosis among the Colored residents of the State of Virginia, opened April 22, 1918. At present it consists of an eighty-bed sanatorium with a medical superintendent and examiner, a resident physician, head nurse, and a dietitian, all specially trained in tuberculosis. A training school is being conducted for the training of Colored nurses specializing in tuberculosis, who are on the same footing as those trained at the white sanatorium at Catawba, and to whom the certificate is given by the State Board of Health. The capacity if this school is ten. With all beds full and a long waiting list the future of Piedmont is now assured. The effort to get more beds for the treatment of tuberculosis in the Negro race must be made in the South, and it behooves citizens of all, races and creeds to join in the effort. Publicity of facts will reveal to the lawmakers and other leading citizens some startling evidences of the interdependence of the two chief races of the South. When this fact is as fully realized by the general public as it is now by those vitally interested in tuberculosis no difficulty will be experienced in obtaining adequate treatment for all affectel.—Southern Workman. SENEGALESE WARRIORS AMUSED CROWN PRINCE Foreign News Letter Tells How German Crown Prince Maltreated African Heroes (Star News Service). NEW YORK, N. Y., Apr. 23—Letters sent to the American press by foreign news correspondents are telling the inner secrets of the life of Prince Wilhelm, the German Crown Prince, commander of German armies, while he was in camp at headquarters, Charleville, during the late war. A number of Senegalese and Algerian soldiers, who had been taken prisoners, were turned over to his care, and the following paragraph tells how they were treated: Negro prisoners furnished another form of amusement for the Imperial German Crown Prince, Thirty-seven Senegaleses and Algerian riflemen, captured during the Aisne offensive of 1917, had been placed at his disposal. From the first, these unhappy prisoners of war served him for amusement. He had them dressed in ridiculous costumes capped with shinny silk hats and ordered them to follow him everywhere he went. Some of them even rode in his automobile with him. His greatest pleasure was to make them clean the streets attired in their weirdly elegant costumes. He had himself photographed with them in all sorts of attire, and these documents which he carefully preserved, form not the glorious mementoes of his military career. These unfortunate ones were mal-treated by their guards who even deprived them of nourishment. The civilians of Charleville, full of pity for these brave soldiers, taken in defending La Parrie wanted to give them little tid-bits and tobacco. Woe to those who obeyed the promptings of their heart. They were struck with the butt ends of muskets and later haled to court and fired.

It is the kind of conference that generals hold before a critical engagement; that business men hold before entering a new market. A conference of judgment, not emotion; a clear-eyed facing of the facts. A Survey that Business Men Must Admire For more than a year hundreds of workers have been quietly engaged in making a scientific survey of the mission fields, and of America county by county. The facts developed are startling. No such piciure of America’s religious situation has ever before been drawn. On the basis of these surveys thirty Protestant de- nominations are uniting in a Nation Wide Cooperative Campaign Each of the thirty denominations has its own “For- ward Movement” organized and officered. The Interchurch World Movement is the clearing house for all of these, It is the agency which the churches have created to avoid duplication, to foster cooperation and make sure that every man and dollar render the utmost service possible. The month of April will be devoted to making the facts of the survey known to America; in the week of April 25th-May 2nd, will come a united simultaneous financial campaign. Whether You Are Inside the Church or Out To every man and every woman who loves his country, these 2000 county conferences are vitally important.

Correspondent Places General Wood Among Others Mentioned, ‘Thank You. (AON, P. Service). CHICAGO, IIL, Apr. 23.—The Pres- ‘identia) handicap has passed the! first quarter and the interest is’ gvowing keen in the man who is to be selected standard bearer for the Republican party at the National Convention, the only one of the two great political gatherings which is of more than passing moment to us, ‘The interests of 13,000,000 of us in the various candidates may be ex- pressed in this wise: What is their position in regard to the “brother”? Here they are—Wood, Lowden, | Harding, Johnson and Hoover. ‘Hoover the latest constellation to ‘burst on our gaze is reputed to be backed by som of the biggest forces in the country, including J. P, Mor- gan and company, The politicians ‘are trying to get his range while th: man in the street wonder how he stands “on us”. Not a great deal is known of Mr. Hoover seemingly by the great majority of Americans, save that he has exhibited ability in his role of food administrator dur- ing the war and perhaps is recogniz- ed ay being an internationalist. by other governments. His views and attitude upon the Race question are ones of interest but little definite in. formation can be secured. One of our group who served with him in the food administration and who as a chief assistant was in close con- tact with him every day, says he is “right” on everything which affects us and proved it by his treatment of him. This may be a purely person- al view, and a more logical analysi: may be made by showing that nie works in behalf of suffering human- ity in Europe show that at least he has sympathy for the man farther down, Hiram Johnson, Senator from Cal- ifornia is gaining considerable per- sonal popularity though litde tang- ible evidence in the way of dele- kates is to be seen as yet. His po- sition on “the question” of questions ‘is hazy in so far as we have been able to learn, His association with Roosevelt in the Progressive party may be construed as favorable or nol, according to. your viewpoint. Roosevelt almost proved his feet made of clay when he listened to John Parker, the lily whiter of Louisena and sacrificed the Negro on the altar of the South. How near- ly Johnson was connected with this movement is not known, but his as- sociation with Borah the able but Hatant Senator from Idaho, who is known as an enemy is not reassur- ing. When he was governor of Cal- ifornia, he did little of record, At- | torney Hugh McBeth of Los Angeles, son of the photographer of Balti- more, whose chief claim to. fame rests on the fact that he looks like Teddy, after finishing Harvard, hied himself to the golden west with a ietter of introduction from Roose- velt to. Johnson. The latter made jhim a sort of spokesman for our group, but our people there do not seem to exhibit any particular en- thusiasm for Johnson's leadership of the nation. Rather the sentiment is for Hoover. Tn Chicago the professional politi- cians are all laying low on the presi- PAGE FIVE dential situation because they do not knew which way Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson is going to jump. He is koown to dislike Lowden but it is questionable whether he can afford to come out against him because of state polities. ‘Therefore, the Color- ed brethren who move at his com- mand are equally secretive. All of the state employees, Col. Duncan, Col, Marshall and Major Bird among them, are actively campaigning in Lowden's behalf but they are hav- ing difficulty in squaring their chief's record with the kind of measuremen,, which the Colored people are de” nmanding that their candidate fit up to, The following paragraph taken fvem the Congresional Report of the East St. Louis riots may show why they are having such a hard. time: The Report of the committee inves- tigating the cause of these riots af- ter describing conditions, causes and elects has this to say of the chief executive officer of Mlinois: “Col S. O. Tripp appointed by the governor to the command of the troops was totally unfit and incom- Letent to command troops under any circumstances. The facts were reported at the time of their oscur- enee to the governor but no official effort has ever been made to appre- hend the militia men who indulged in the shooting and killing of inof- fensive and unarmed Negroes, nor has Col. Tripp been called upon to kive an accounting of his responsi- bility in this matter, “The Governor of Mlinois has a responsibility in this matter he can- not evade. “Phe militia of the State ave under his control, He can ar- raign militia men for misconduct he can remove officers for ineffl- ciency; he can institute a thorough inghiry that will expose the erimin- al_and the incompetent.” Senator Harding looms up chiefly as the “ace in the hole” of the old guard element, Our people in Ohio say he is a fair-minded, impartial ‘man of high ealibre who in the last analysis, would give justice to any righteous cause even though his at- titude would favorably be that of watching us work out our own sal- vation. Many of the old line poli- ticians believe that after the popular candidates, have worn themselves out, the old guard will repeat the performance of 1912 and nominate Harding on the third or fourth bat- lott. Others say the sentiment for someone of the candidates in the public eye is likely to be too strong for any such purpose, This is a non-partisan review of the situation and is not designed to boost any particalar candidate but it is worthy of note that practically every Colored publication has de- clared for Leonard Wood. The rea- son is simple. The Negro at this time wants in the Waite House, a man whom he thinks will at least give him a “square deal.” Leonard Woed's word and actions thus far have stamped him as that kind of a man. He has not slopped over in his profession of friendship for us but has declared himself for “All Men Up." Some criticism has been made of his campaign manager be- cause he is the head of the Proctor and Gamble Soap company which makes Ivory Soap and it is said employes no Colored people. No de- fense is given for this, but _ his friends claim it is something whicd concerns the policy of a corporation aid does not even reflect Mr. Proc: tor's personal attitude and that it has nothing to do with the qualifi- cations of the candidate for office. Mevnwhile the Race waxes hot. Let's hope the best man for us wins, who- ever he may be. Comprehensive History of American Negro. (A_N. P. Service). CHICAGO, UL, Apr. 23—The Na- tional Cyclopedia of the Colored Race is the latest addition to the large and somewhat interesting group of Race books for the year. It is published by the National Pub- lishing Company of Montgomery, Alabama, and its Editor in Chief is Clement’ E, Richardson, president of Lincoln Institute, at Jefferson City, Mo, The Cyclopedia sets forth the struggles of individuals to rise to their present places of prominence. The Historical section depicts the American Negro’s rapid progress from slavery to the present time, in art, literature, statesmanship, commerce, education, science, cul- ture and refinement. | The Cyclope- dia deals also with the educational favilities offered members of the Race. It tells of obstacles over- come by the pioneers in Negro Edu- cation, and clearly points out the paths open to ambitious Colored youth, to acquire knowledge and at tainment. In an ecclesiastical way the Cy- clopedia gives an insight into the moral helps available to the indivi- duals of the Race. Short histories of the individual churches, as well as a general chapler devoted to the vatious religious organizations should prove more interesting read- ing. Fraternal Orders and other so- Gieues and their great inflence in the uplift of the Race are fully des- cribed with short histories of their founding and development, ‘The Negro’s part in the World War is told in_an interesting man- uer by Hon, Emmett J.

Greenwood The Parent-Teachers' Association met in its regular monthly meeting on Friday afternoon, April 16, over fifty persons were present. The session opened by singing "Nearer My God to Thee," Prayer was offered by Prin. Hughes, followed by "Onward Christian Soldiers." Principal Hughes gave a brief expression of thanks to the patrons for their splendid co-operation during the past year. He gave a report on funds received and disbursed at the Cafeteria and mentioned the great help Miss Blanche Woodford has been to him in its management. The next feature of the program was an illustrated talk by Mrs. Boothe on "Proper dress as an aid to the moral tone of the child." The Dunbar Grade News was read and discussed by the patrons. Mrs. Georgia Brown put before the body some ways and means of getting the improvements mentioned in the article. Mrs. Collins, the secretary of the association, said that never in the history of Tulsa's Separate Schools has there been manifested such a cooperation between parent and teacher. She said that the teachers are doing a most satisfactory work in the community as well as in the schoolroom. Mrs. Taylor our president asked the body to decide the nature of the next meeting which is to be the last one of the year. It was agreed that after a short business meeting the teachers be tendered a reception by the patrons. It was agreed by the body that this meeting was the best had this year. After light refreshments, the meeting adjourned. Mr. Campbell who is connected with the Tulsa Undertaking company was a visitor to the school last Friday afternoon.

(Star News Service), SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Apr. 21.—A meeting was held at the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church for the purpose of effecting an organization of various committees to make the necessary preparations for the entertainment of the Sunday School Congress which will convene in Springfield June 16-21. This will be the first time in the history of the Congress that it has convened in the North, and the Executive Committee believes that Springfield citizens recognize the honor that is being paid them and will do all within their power to make the meeting an unqualified success. For this reason the pastor, superintendent and clerk of each of the Baptist Churches have organized themselves into an Executive Committee which will meet every week to make the necessary arrangements for the reception of what will undoubtedly be one of the most important events of the year. The Executive Committee is as follows: President, Rev. M. L. Porter; Vice President, Rev. Silas Edwards; Secretary, Rev. W. H. Snowden; Corresponding Secretary, Rev. J. C. Roberts; Treasurer, Rev. S.

C., Apr. 20. E. H. Sothern, the great dramatist who with his wife Julia Marlowe has been playing to capacity audiences for two weeks, in Washington paid an unusual compliment to the officers, teachers, and students of Howard University by reading to them from Shakespearean dramas and from other selections on Friday, April 9th, in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. Because of conditions in Washington, the Colored people have not been permitted to see or hear Sothern and Marlowe at the local theatres, and Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe paid the Colored people the compliment of reading to them at Howard University and at the Dunbar High School during their recent visit in Washington. Miss Marlowe read the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at the Dunbar High School, but was prevented by the many demands upon her from appearing at Howard University. Mr Sothern was most generous in his rendition of selections. For more than an hour he read one selection after another, giving the students and teachers of the university full opportunity to appreciate his finished art. His introductory addresses at both places on the valor of the Colored troops he met in France, and on the pleasure and satisfaction it gave him to meet the Colored people of Washington during his stay here, were warmly applauded. Seldom has he received so generous a welcome anywhere as given him by the representative Colored people of Washington who gathered at both Howard University and the Dunbar High School with officers, teachers, and students of those institutions to greet him and his distinguished wife. President of Columbia University Speaks at Howard University. WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 19.—President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University addressed the students of Howard University, recently in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. Dr. Butler spoke with very great clearness and delinleness of the responsibility resting upon students privileged to attend an institution such as Howard University. He traced in chaste language the steps one must take to reach the station of "educated men and women," and then devoted himself to a discussion of the value and importance of the judgments which such men and women must make in their contact with the problems of life. Dr. Butler was warmly received by the whole student body when he arose to speak and was tremendously applauded at the conclusion of his eloquent remarks. LARGER ACREAGE OF FLAX THIS YEAR IS DESIRABLE Department of Agriculture Urges Western Farmers to Devise Plans. Shortage of Linseed Oil Handicaps Building Operations—Indications Are That Price Will Remain High. (Star News Service). The flaxseed situation in the United States is more serious than ever before, according to an official statement from the United States Department of Agriculture. The crop is important on account of the principal products manufactured from flaxseed, which are linseed oil and linseed meal and cake. Linseed meal and cake are valuable stock feeds. Linseed oil is used chiefly in the manufacture of paints, varnishes, and linoleums. As no other oil can be substituted for it with satisfactory results, linseed oil is indispensable in all building operations. Most of the world supply of flaxseed is produced in Argentina, Russia, India, United States and Canada, of which countries all but the United States produce an exportable surplus. The surplus is consumed chiefly by Great Britain, Continental Europe, and the United States. In the United States more than 95 per cent of the crop is produced in four States—North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Montana. Since 1909 the United States has depended on foreign countries, chiefly Canada and Argentina, for part of her flaxseed supply. This dependence on other countries has increased, as a result of the poor crops of the last few years, until now over two-thirds of our normal requirement must be supplied from abroad. Strong Demand Will Continue. An unprecedent demand for flax-seed exists, due to various causes at home and abroad. The price has advanced steadily each year since 1913, until it is now four times the pre-war price. Can a good bishop be made out of a bad minister?

In order to attain the height desired, a number of kites had been sent up tandem. ‘They consisted of strong wooden frames about 7 by 7 by 3 feet. Each kite was covered with about 12 yards of fine cambric and were attached to fine piano wire. They were let out and hauled in by a reel operat- cd by electric motor. Due to a de- fective splice, four of the kites with about 3 miles of wire broke away and flew about 18 miles before the wire became entangled in a tree. A farmer telephoned the news to the acrological station, but before the party sent out to recover the kites could reach them, some Negroes had wrecked the first one and had tak- en the cloth, which was later found in nine pieces in various cabins, The other three kites, when the first one was separated from them, es- caped and flew about three miles farther. , During the flight, however, the wire became entangled with a boy and a mule plowing in a field The boy grasped the wire and cut and burned his hands. The muie became so entangled in the wire that the help of three men was necessary to release him, The three kites were finally caught in another tree which was cut down by another party of Negroes and, in falling, wrecked the secondo kite, which was dismantled by the Negroes. The twe remaining kites again escaped, flew about three miles farther and landed in one of the tallest pine trees in the region, The third kite had a meteorograph attached whic. was recovered undamaged. A heavy rain came on, however, and the two remaining kites were broken up ané finally abandoned, Equal Opportunity for All Citizens. (A. N. P. Service).

It may be added in the same breath, that’ conceit, caddishness and controlling desire constitutes about all there is of social potency for good in the current slogan—*we inust educate leaders.” They may not be with us now, in that large and eclectic sense whic directs the deeper motives of his- torical purpose.
