Major John Prettyman Newman, member of the house from Middlesex, will introduce overalls and wear spats with hope of softening the shock to his colleagues. THE TULSA STAR Women Buy Site For Colored Library The Next Thing Will be to Erect Building for Colored Library. (Special to Tulsa Star) MUSKOGEE, May 7. A long felt want is about to be consummated here through the purchase of a lot on which it is later proposed to erect a library for use of the Colored people. This purchase of a lot has been brought about through the devoted and faithful efforts of the Women's Federation of this city, which is headed by Mrs. Nellie Green, the well known club and church worker. The library which was established here a number of years ago after many trials and tribulations endured by its founder, the late Mrs. Lois Perdue, has been located in several places during its existence, places to a degree inaccessible, and the purchase of a lot indicates its location in a permanent place at an early date. It is a remarkable coincidence that the late and most highly esteemed founder of the library, Mrs. Lois Perdue, had the great misfortune to be run down and killed by a rapidly moving patrol wagon in the middle of the street in front of the Carter and Love buildings in which the library has been located during its existence. RELIEVE LIVING COST MOST IMPORTANT PLANK So Declares Senator Robert L Owen, Oklahoma's Choice for President. BOSTON, Mass., May 5.—Before departing for Springfield, where he is to confer with prominent Democrats, Senator Robert L. Owens, of Oklahoma, candidate for the presidential nomination urged the party in Massachusetts to stand united for the "real Democratic issues" in the coming campaign. The most important plank in the platform will be the one calling for a reduction in the cost of living and the reapportionment of profits and taxes, Senator Owen declared. The Oklahoma senator declared his belief that prohibition will become an issue and be included in the platform. Tulsa and Pawnee Republicans File For U. S. Senatorship. (Star News Service) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., May 5. --Albert A. Small, of Tulsa and E. M. Clark of Pawnee, both republicans, filed applications today as candidates for the nomination tor United States senator. T. M. Robnett of Sulphur, republican, filed as candidate for justice of the supreme court from the Fifth judicial district. JURY FINALLY SECURED TO TRY ARKANSAS MAN Several Special Venires Exhausted Before Men Are Secured. (Special to Tulsa Star) HELENA, Ark., May 6.—A jury to try Albert Giles and Joe Fox, Negroes, charged jointly with the murder of James A. Tappan during the racial uprising near Elaine last October was obtained late today after several special venires had been exhausted: Examination of witnesses was begun immediately, the defense announcing itself ready despite the illness of George Murphy of Little Rock, chief of counsel for the Negroes. Giles and Fox are two of the six Negroes sentenced to be electrocuted whose cases were remanded by the supreme court. Court recessed tonight until tomorrow after the state completed presentation of its testimony and rested. The Star gives the news first. Weekly Mail Edition TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1920.

It was he who wrote the tr and the Creek and Seminole Indians that these treaties provided for ment land along with the Indians. Probably the greatest historical event of the year so far as the black man and the Indian is concerned is being planned by a noted Colored lawyer and capitalist of Wewoka in the person of the Hon. J. Coody Johnson, probably the widest known man of the Race in Oklahoma, and this will be an historical exhibition which promises to arouse more interest than anything ever done in this State by any one. The exhibition will have to do with the history and progress of the Colored man and the Indian in Oklahoma. There is probably no man in this state more versant with the history of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory than Mr. Johnson, and it is said to be his plans to put on an exhibition that will show the rapid progress of the Indian and the Colored man from the early stages of frontier days, up to the present time. Mr. Johnson speaks fluently the Indian language and knows the history of the Red man as no other one man in Oklahoma. His father was an Indian interpreter and was high in the council of the tribal government. It was he who wrote the treaties between the U. S. Government and the Creek and Seminole Indian tribes, and it was doubtless sagacity that these treaties provided for members of our group to own government land along with the Indians. WHOLE TOWN WIPED OUT BY TORNADO Population Destroyed Apparently All White as no Colored Mentioned (Special to Tulsa Star) MUSKOGEE, Okla., May 4.—The swiftly mounting death list of the storm that swept the little inland town of Peggs, Okla., from existence late Sunday night had reached 59 this evening, with the finding of seven other bodies underneath the debris of ruined homes. Rescue workers placed the list of injured at 150. Several of the hurt, in hospitals here and in Tablequah, will not survive the night, physicians said. Last night, with lightning darting overhead and with the roll of the thunder of another approaching storm drowning the prayers and the sobs of those who are left in Peggs, the burial of the dead was begun. Seventeen were buried last night. Twenty-six others were laid away today. Eleven bodies of the family of R. M. Stevens were placed in one great grave. Another grave holds eight of the family of John Littlefield. John Wilkinson and his family of five rest in another. Of the Stephens family, only three survive. Two of them, Charlie, 18, and Homer, 5, are in a Muskogee hospital with fractured skulls and broken bodies. The other is the father. He was visiting in Roosevelt, Okla., when the storm struck Peggs. "I was taking my father home," he said today. "He had an excel- The Star is best? Why? event of the year so far as the black is being planned by a noted Colored man of the person of the Hon. J.

I had lots of children to take care of him. But I haven't any home now—I guess I'll have to send him back." Money for the relief of the suffering of the ill-fated town went forward today. By night the fund had reached $3,000 and towns all throughout the eastern part of the state were telegraphing their subscriptions to J. R. Miller of Tahlequah, chairman of the relief committee. Standard Life Puts on Big Drive Here The Standard Agents Issue $30,000 Worth of Insurance. The Oklahoma state and district managers, agents of that Gibraltar, the Standard Life Insurance company of Atlanta, have been carrying on a $50,000 Drive in Oklahoma during the past week. These hustling and well informed insurance advocates have already covered $30,000 of the sum they set out to get. The representatives who were in Tulsa during the past week were: Hon. W. A. Kennedy, Boely, General Oklahoma manager and President of the Exchange Insurance company; M. C. Ferera, Muskogee, District Supervisor; E. H. Cary, State Supervisor; W. E. Herbert and S. G. Smith, local Agents. POLITICAL DOPE STARGRAPHED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Indiana will probably send uninstructed delegates to both the republican and democratic national conventions. The plurality fight lies between Senator Johnson and General Wood with Governor Lowder running strong among the republicans for second place. No democratic candidate is listed in the primary for presidential honors. Joseph W. Bailey, formerly U. S. Senator from the State of Texas, received a most decisive defeat at the hands of Texas democrats in his candidacy for nomination for governor of Texas. The primaries in Maryland held last Monday resulted in a two to one victory for General Wood over Governor Johnson. Wood carried all but two counties and will have 117 out of the 129 delegates elected to the State convention. Senator Hiram Johnson won over Herbert Hoover in the California Primaries by 130,945 votes. The presidential primary in Indiana, as shown by returns from 2,078 out of 3,387 precincts, resulted as follows: Wood, 54,305; Johnson, 48,912; Lowden, 24,097; and Harding 13,213. The Missouri Republican League Club is on verge of breaking up on account of the actions of I. H. Bradbury, one of its members, who styles himself the "Precinct Organization Chairman." Col. W. H. Butler, the popular leader of the club and president, has demanded the charter and list of members from Bradbury. The latter informed Butler he would take no orders from him but from Chairman Schmoll, of the City Campaign Committee. This has caused considerable disaffection among the members. Senator Hiram Johnson of California has decided not to ask for a recount of the votes cast in the recent New Jersey presidential primary which was carried by General Wood by a close vote. Judge E. E. Blake, well known attorney of Oklahoma City, has entered the race for republican nomination for U. S. Senator against Senator T. P. Core. Congressman Scott Ferris has been in Broken Arrow, Coweta and Tulsa during the past week making speeches in his candidacy for the democratic nomination for U. S. Senator. One Bullet Wounds Five Men. The accidental discharge of a large calibre revolver in the Hardy Pool hall by Harrison Dickson, Monday night caused five men to receive painful wounds. According to reports of the affair Dickson was pranking with the weapon when it was accidentally discharged, the bullet striking a pool table, breaking into at least five fragments each of which found lodgment in five men, by-standers. The wounded were Jewel Davis, D. Thomas, both shot through the arm, Sam Morgan, shot in the hand and two other men, one shot in the face and the other in the back. All the wounds were painful but none fatal. Profits Made by Paper Brokers are Examined. (War News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6. Profiles made by brokers in the sale of print paper, especially to small newspapers, were inquired into today by the senate committee investigating the paper shortage. Because the witnesses were required to produce contracts and other information which might be of value to their competitors, Chairman Reed ordered an executive session. Subscribe for the Star.

Women Demand Suffrage at Conference Women Demand Suffrage at Conference Several Hundred Noted Colored Women from Many States Attend A.M.E. Conference. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 7.—The women, of the African Methodist Episcopal faith and denomination are not this year to sit up, perspire, fan, and merely look pretty as possible as listeners to the proceedings of the Quadrennial Conference in session here. They may do all this and even compliment the "dear bishops and preachers" for their "just fine sermons," but this year, they have something else on their minds. It is quite likely that in the great concourse of women attending this conference, can be found the most notable representatives of Negro womanhood that America, and the world afford. There are women here distinguished on account of their distinguished husbands occupying most eminent positions in the A. M. E. Church. But there are also quite a number of women who are distinguished in their own right, because of unusual services rendered in their communities and states in behalf of religious, social and educational uplift. These women have come here knowing that they want and are determined to have it. For this reason, in addition to the many difficult questions and problems that are to confront this conference for discussion and settlement, there is not telling at this writing what the fate of this demand will be; but it is confidently believed by the women that the delegates to the conference will keep abreast of the times and not fall down on the question of women's suffrage. Among the many noted women here who are boosting this proposition are: Mrs. Mary F. Handy, widow of the late Bishop Handy of Balitmore, Md.; Mesdames Sandy Simmons and Wm. D. Chappelle, S. Carolina; Mesdames W. T. Vernon and G. L. Jackson, Tennessee; Mesdames W. H. Heard and R. J. Williams, Pennsylvania; Mrs. J. D. Mosley, Alabama; Mrs. M. S. Pearson, North Carolina; Mrs. John Hurst, Maryland; Mesdames C. B. Thompson and M. C. Wright, Mississippi; Mesdames W. A. Fountain and H. D. Canady, Georgia; Mrs. Victoria Haley Missouri; and many others from all sections of the country. OKLAHOMA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION MEETS HERE The Doctors, Dentists and Pharmacists Are To Hold Important Session.

Guillory of Muskogee, the widely known and prominent official in nearly every benevolent order in Oklahoma, was in Tulsa and visited the Star office last Wednesday during the session of the Independent Order of Wisemen.

The new administration under the recently elected Mayor Evans started off on time last Tuesday with no serious interruption in the ordinary running of Tulsa local affairs. At the police station, the first man up and enrolled on the blotter on charge of drunkenness was an Indian. Evil spirits doubtless impelled him to get in line for first honor or dishonor. Later in the day, two Cotored men had their John Hancocks inscribed on the roll on account of disturbing the peace, and were escorted to the desk sergeant by officer Moore. Children Delightfully Entertained Mrs. A. W. Broadus very delightfully entertained fourteen young children with a party Saturday, May 1.

Pronibition Cost Annually 88 Million Dollars WASHINGTON, D. C., May 7. Representative Gallivan, democrat, Massachusetts, declared last Tuesday that prohibition enforcement will cost the nation $88,000,000 annually. There are more illicit stills now than before prohibition became effective, he said. "There were 2,006 stills found in Georgia in 1918," he declared, "1,534 in North Carolina and 26 in Nebraska, the home of the first apostle of grape." "Plind tigers are now surrounded by romance if not respectability. Members of congress could tell interesting personal interviews with bootleggers who have become restable citizens of the communities in which they live."

Mrs. Ruth Johnson Goodfellow, White, of New York, will receive an estate amounting to $826 cash, left by Mrs. Carrie Johnson, a St. Louis Colored woman, who died a year ago last January. Mrs. Johnson left no will. Testimony showed that Mrs. Goodfellow was left at the home of the Colored woman when an infant and remained with her until 11 years old, being sent to the Old Cathedral parochial school. The Juvenile Court then insisted that she be removed from the charge of Mr. Johnson, and she was sent East by a Catholic priest and given a home with his parents. In 1916 Mrs. Johnson employed a detective to locate the girl. It was found that she had married a Mr. Goodfellow, a furniture manufacturer in Syracuse. It is said that the White woman offered her foster-mother employment as a house servant, but this was never accepted.—St. Louis Argus. NO DEFENSE NEEDED The Negro needs no defence. Much less does he need to apologize for his present inability to comprehend the full significance of American life as outlined in the famed Declaration of Independence or in the more definite amplification of principle given to us in the National Constitution. We are not to be blamed because we live nearest to the evil influences of American society. Public sentiment and legal enactment co-operate to prevent out getting close to the "better things." Hence we are humanly guilty of doing the represensible things which bring an appreciable measure of profit and comfort. And why shouldn't we do the things which procure and maintain social prestige and civic power to our "brother in white?" We see the political boodler lifted to a place of high distinction by the elements which are loudest in their assertions that we are venal, vicious vipers of society and therefore must of necessity be held on the lower social planes. Why should we be blamed because we are apt and learn the object lessons presented to us with degree of aptitude that is alarming in its aspect of thoroughness. Given a fair chance we venture the opinion that there are those among us who possess the moral fibre to absorb the healthy social impulses of the nation. We are bound to rise in the social scale. Denied the best means to achieve our aim is this direction, we do the next best thing—get what we want and are bound to have. A. N. P.

Suit your own notion about that But, he who has lived in the large cities and noted at first hand, the havoc wrought by the saloon on our men and women must be deaf to all calls of decency, if he would want these plague spots to re-appear. We are willing to admit that the saloon was not the only place where one coud drown his sorrows or evilhirate his joys. We will go a step farther and deplore the immense loss of income that has followed in the wake of saloon closing. But this cannot take the edge off our happiness. The saloon is dead! Long live the chance to have the better thing! Now what is the "better thing"? The marking out of cleaner fields of business venture, and by these means get a strong grip on the broader purpose of the life about us.—A. N. P. A. N. P. SQUIBS Have you heard the news?

RUSSELL VARIES FROM HARD HEAD CASTEEL Who Invited Crisis Folks to Participate in a Lynching Bee? (N. A. A. C. P. Service). NEW YORK, N. Y., May 5.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, announces the receipt on April 26, of a tegram from Hon, Lee M. Russell. Governor of Mississippi, stating that "Franklin and all other persons will always have full protection of our laws in securing their legal rights." This telegram was dated Jackson, Miss., 11:45 A. M., April 26. Note: On April 22, the Association mailed to the press copies of telegrams passing between the Association, the Governor and Acting Governor of Mississippi, the last two being the telegram of April 21 of Acting Governor H. H. Casteel, in which he evaded replying to the Association's appeal for protection and in defiant language threatening that the editor of the Crisis, the Association's organ, would be made an example of, if he appeared in Mississippi, and the Association's second appeal for legal protection following the receipt of the acting-governor's wire. The Association announces that since the publication of these telegrams, it has been informed from two sources, one of them a white man, that the Rev. E. R. Franklin was badly beaten in addition to being fined, the beating being described as "Beaten into a jelly." The Association is unable, upon its own authority, to substantiate this allegation, but in one case the information came to it from a man who had written to a third party on other matters and mentioned this case incidentally as a matter of news. In the other case, information came directly from a correspondent familiar with all details of the case. 25 MINUTES IN JAIL FOR OPENING WIFE'S LETTER Man Fainted in Court Believing the Judge Said 25 Years; Not Minutes. (A. N. P. Service) CHICAGO, Ill., May 7—Federal Judge Landis sitting in the United States District Court sentenced Jesse Nash, a Colored man, to the penitentiary for twenty-five seconds for receiving and opening another man's mail. Nash fainted when the sentence was announced and there was a general commotion in the court room. The prisoner and the on-lookers had understood the judge to say twenty-five years instead of seconds. Nash, according to the testimony had suspected his wife of writing love letters to another man. He went to the postoffice general delivery, and asked for the man's mail. He was given a letter in his wife's handwriting. The other man, E. A. Ahern, had Nash arrested for stealing his mail.

Sac and Fox Indians To Serve Dog Meat as Relish at National Corn Dance. (Special to Tulsa Star) STROUD, Okla., May 7.—Good fat butchering dogs, cur or pedigree are in demand today at Stroud, Oklahoma, where the annual feast of the Sac and Fox Indian tribes will be held soon. Only the older members of the tribes take an eating part in the ceremony, as the younger bucks don't relish dog meat, which is a delicacy for the older generation. The feast is an annual custom of these tribes. Only a few of the Indians will participate in the dog feast as most of the old warriors have gone on to the happy hunting grounds. Government to Commemorate Col Theodore Roosevelt. (Washington, D. C., May 7. Coinage of a Roosevelt 2-cent piece is authorized by a bill passed by the Senate, last Saturday. The senate also acted favorably on house bills authorizing coinage of 50-cent pieces to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims and the 100 anniversary of the admission of Maine and Alabama. Miss Ruth Bell and her sister Miss Daisy Bell of Huntington, Ark., are visiting their sisters, Mrs. Adie Berry and Mrs. M. Neighbors, here. THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, May 8, 1920 Congressman Howard says his mail is heavy since he announced his intention to introduce a bill to stop profiteering. If the congressman can secure the enactment of a law to stop profiteering his ballot box will be quite as heavy as his mail now is.-Tulsa World. GENERAL NEWS NOTES Hailstones Large as Doorknobs. (Special to Tulsa Star) KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 7.—Residence windows, florists' greenhouses and plants were severely damaged in the southeastern part of this city last Monday morning when a terrific hailstorm broke over this section. For fifteen minutes hailstones as large as eggs or doorknobs fell in torrents. Some stones weighed as much as three ounces and in some places along the streets were banked five or six inches deep. Modern California Bluebeard (Special to Tulsa Star) LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 7.—The bloody record of the fictional Blue-beard, who slew so many wives, has been approached and perhaps equalled by the murderous deeds of Walter Andrew Watson, alias James B. Huirt of this city, who in a confession acknowledges having murdered five women. The last woman whom he admits having killed was his wife, whom he married at Tracea, Wash. He had choked and pushed her overboard while boating on Lake Washington, near Seattle Noble R.d Men Airplane to Stomp Dance. (Special to Tulsa Star) PAWHUSKA, Okla., May 7.—The first stomp dance for 1920 under the auspices of Oklahoma's millionaire aborigines—the Osages—was begun at Anite near here last Saturday to continue for a week. There were more than 2000 present and the Osage Indians dressed in rich colored silk and satin costumes, made to resemble the old time apparel of the tribe, made it a most remarkable and picturesque scene. Many Shawnees attended on foot, horse-back and dilapidated buggies in strong contrast to their kinsmen—the Osage oil princes who drove up in their high powered automobiles costing from $4,000 to $15,000. One Osage arrived in an airplane. This dance originally was given to celebrate end of planting season, but as oil drilling has supplanted agriculture, the old object is forgotten, but the old stomp dance is retained. GENERAL PERSHING'S AUTO HELD UP BY MOB The Dark Skinned Panamans Protest Against American Democracy Enforced on Small (Special to Tulsa Star) PANAMA, May 7.—The vaunted Wilsonian "World Democracy" as practiced and exploited on weaker nations—especially dark skinned nations like Hayti and San Domingo—has recently been applied with the military power of the U. S. government behind it on that little harmless Negro Republic, known on the map as Panama. A portion of Taboga Island belonging to Panama, has been siezed and taken over as part of the fortification of the Panama Canal. Several thousand Panamans last week marched in a torchlight parade as a protest against the acquisition by the United States of the major portion of Taboga Island for fortification as a part of the Pacific defense scheme of the Panama canal. An automobile in which General Pershing was driving to a ball at the Union Club was halted by the procession and forced to return to the Tivoli hotel. Mobs later stoned Panama officials, a number of whom were injured. Mounted policemen charged and dispersed the demonstrators. Maj. Gen. Chase H. Kennedy, commander of the American troops in the canal zone, following receipts of reports of the rock throwing, ordered all American officers attending the ball to leave immediately. A. M. E. CONFERENCE OPENING MOST AUSPICIOUS The Veteran Bishop Benjamin F. Lee Prosided at the Opening Exercises. (Special to Tulsa Star) ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 6.—Over twelve hundred enthusiastic delegates from North and South America, and Africa are in the city attending the 26th Quadrennial Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church which began here Monday. The session will continue for three weeks. The opening session was marked with exercises of the greatest solemnity and interest and the fact that the venerable Bishop Benjamin F. Lee, of Wilberforce, Ohio, presided, added dignity to the proceedings thus making them momentous in church history. $Q_n$ of the most important questions to come up before this conference is that of amalgamating the Colored Meth- modist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal Zion and the African Methodist Episcopal denominatios into one great religious organization. North Greenwood Crop Report. The stock reporter is glad to report that although it is rather early in the season the cotton bolls are turning pink all over the field and the indications point toward an active season for picking dew berries, blackberries, suckers and other wild animals straying loose along the boulevards. The reporter says he was over to the carnival on Detroit street the other night and never "seed" so many stickers born to the minute in all his summers and winters. However, his discoveries in money market were vivid and starling. He heard one millionaire remark, "I'm a good man. All you got to do is to put me where money is, and I'll get it. Honey sure loves pretty stockings and must have 'em too. Three pairs $37.50, $12.50 a piece. Of course, if I can't get 'em, Honey sure can. Tra-la." STATE SCHOOL LEVY PETITIONS OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., May, 4. Since the close of Initiation week, April 19-24, petitions have been coming into the office of the Secretary of the OEA, ordering an election on the proposed amendment to the State Constitution, providing for a levy of from 6 to 10 mills on all taxable property in the state for the maintenance of the public schools; yet only about 12,000 of the required 29,300 signatures have been received. Many petitions are yet in the hands of those who circulated them and of local school men and women, but renewed efforts will be necessary in order to secure the necessary number. Some fine records have been made. One Henryetta teacher secured 95 signers; Marshall county got over 1200 signers; each teacher in may systems got her quota of 20 signers. Many write us that it is easy to get signers, because the people realize the need of more school money. Many business men, club leaders, local officers and other leading citizens are asking for blank petitions to circulate; but 29,300 is a large number and to secure this number required close work over the greater part of the State. We respectfully request that more business organizations and clubs of both men and women take the matter up, write for petitions, and circulate them. Arguments in favor of the Amendment and instructions for filling out the petition will be sent with each copy. Do this today, help this movement to provide good schools for the children of Oklahoma.

Those who have little of the truth and sometimes great sticklers for formalities. This was true of the Jews at the first advntt of our Lord. Feast-days, fast-days, Sabbaths and giving of tents, were very carefully attnnded to by them but the weightier matters of the law, respecting justice and love to God and man were sadly neglected. This is our Lord's testimony.

PHONE OSAGE 3132 --- BER THE S BY RICHARD J. HILL D. J. HILL. satisfy them from making a thorough reformation of life, and seeking to bruge all it's affairs into harmony with the Divine law, Love to God and for our fellows. The Jews of our Lord's day laid great stress upon the Sabbath, keeping, which fact, according to some people of our day, should have seen ample evidence of their Holliness, full of harmony with the entire law—but such was not the estimation of our Lord. They even undertook to chide our Lord and his disciples respecting their neglect of the Sabbath, although they generally admitted that Christ and his Apostles characters were blameless. On one of these occasions in which reproof was administered by the Pharisees, our Lord took up the subject and explained it, showing that they had wholly misapprehended the Divine intention respecting the Sabbath. It was not intended to be a burden, but a blessing. The Sabbath was not given for God's sake, but for man's sake. He, the Lord Jesus, called them to witness that his diciple were doing no harm, that they were merely satisfying their hunger lawfully. He then proved the correctness of his position from authorities they would be willing to accept. They recognized David as a Holy man, approved of God, and he pointed out to them how that David and stress of hunger had eaten bread that otherwise would have been unlawful to eat. Then he laid down the general principle that although labor was prohibited under the law, it was for the purpose of bringing to mag rest, comfort, refreshment and blessing, and not to bring hunger, inconvenience and distress on either man or beast. He cited them to the fact that certain work was done on the Sabbath by the priest, and under Divine direction, and that this proved that labor alone sacrificially for the assistance of others, as well as for their own necessities, could be no violation of the fourth commandment. After declaring himself fully qualified to decide the Sabbath question, he tells them that, watching out for the letter of the law they neglected its spirit, and should learn that the Lord desires mercy, sympathy, pity, love, more than he desires sacrifice and that any deeds of mercy, sympathy, pity, love, done on the Sabbath day, are more pleasing in God's sight, than were those sacrifices which were performed on the Sabbath as well as other days, in the typical Temple. With this proper view before their minds they would not have condemned his decibles whom he, the Master of the Sabbath did not condemn. The blindness of the Pharisees respecting the proper interpretation of the law of the Sabbath, is shown by the fact that even after our Lord had given them this explanation, they evidently still supposed that while it would be right for a Priest in the Temple to labor in the offering of a sacrifice it would be contrary to the same law for some one to heal the sick and relieve distress. Our Lord, however, soon discovered to them the error if not the hypocrisy of their own hearts. He well knew that in their love of gain they would help a sheep or an ass out of a pit on the Sabbath Day, because it represented value, and its remaining in the pit over the Sabbath might mean it's death, and hence a financial loss. Thus, he showed them that they well knew how to interpret the law correctly liberally, when it touched their purse, but that they were so lack- --- ```markdown ``` ing in mercy, sympathy, and love, that they failed to properly interpret the law as respects acts of mercy, where financial loss or gain was not involved. Our Lord, as a Jew, was beamed under the Jewish covenant so long as he lived as a human being; because he did not in any sense of the word make an end of the law covenant until his death—there he became the end of the law for righteousness (justification) to every one that believeth. When the Scriptures inform us that Christ by his death made an end of the law, it means that there was nothing further to be gained by the keeping of the law, and that what there was to be gained by the keeping of that law was captured by our Lord Jesus Christ when at death he said upon the cross it is finished. The offer to any Jew who would keep the law perfectly was eternal life, but all the Jews failed except Christ hence there was no further need of holding out the offer since the prize has been won. All who desire to share any of the benefit of this prize which was captured by our Lord Jesus must of necessarily go to the ore who has it and receive from him; and all who come to Christ are not under the law but under, the grace or favor which is higher than the law. We are therefore to understand that from our Lord's discourse here above mentioned to the Jews was to the effect that while neglecting the weightier matters and the real interest of the law covenant they had fallen into certain habits of thoughts and certain customs which were perversions of the law and wholly inconsistent with the laws read sentiment. Phariseeism had become formish in many respects. It is claimed that according to their definition of Sabbath breaking the Diciples had thrashed the wheat when they rubbed it in their hands. So also it is claimed, and so aruged with apparent seriousness, that if any one walked upon the grass with nailed shoes, upon the Sabbath day, that would be a violation of the law, because it would produce a kind of threshing, since one might trample out some of the seeds. With equal seriousness according to Jewish history, it was claimed, that to catch a flea upon one's person would be a kind of hunting and thus a violation of the Sabbath. It is even said to have been debated whether or not a fresh egg should be eaten on the first day of the week since it implied work on the part of a hen on the seventh day; and we can safely say that quite probably if clocks had been invented at that time they would all have been stepped over the Sabbath. Our Lord shows by his criticism that this was merely hypocrisy and self-delusion on the part of the Pharisees, who found it easier to make a show of righteousness in such triflinf things than to consider and seek to obey the weightier matters of the law—justice and mercy. Our Lord showed them that God as he had foretold had more pleasure in mercy than in sacrifice and that if they had his spirit in respect to the matter, they would not be hypocritically condemning their fellow creatures who were really doing no wrong. This was a prelude to what followed and prepared the way. For coming to the synagogue the same day, our Lord found a poor cripple who needed help and while the Pharisees were looking and waiting for a chance to condemn him for violating the Sabbath according to their false assertions respecting it, he took the opportunity to administer a rebuke before performing a cure, realizing no doubt, that the effect upon his hearers would thereby be more favorable. He knew what to teach them—he knew their tender spots of selfishness; and that however much they might delude themselves and others in theorizing respecting observance of the Sabbath when it would come down to a matter of loss or gain they would be well able to rid themselves of their superstition and act accordingly, hence he put the question whether or not they would deliver a sheep or an ass on the Sabbath day if it should fall into a pit. He and they well knew what they would do, what was the custom, and hence, without waiting for an answer, but taking it for granted he proceeded to show that the poor cripple before him was much better than the sheep or ass, and that he had been trapped into sin, sickness by the Adversary, and that if it were right to deliver the sheep or the ass, much more would it be right on the Sabbath day to help a fellow creature in distress. Every human obligation is based upon some Divine law. Looking to the Jewish Sabbath, we find that it was the seventh day of the week and was made obligatory through a Divine command—being one of the Ten Commandments given to Israel at Mt. Sinai, consequently it was not optional with them how they should keep it, but was obligatory upon the terms explicitly stated. To violate it, the Fourth Commandment of the Decalogue, was to violate one point of the law; and to violate one point of the law was to violate the entire law; because the offer of eternal life to the Jew was based upon his absolute obedience to all its precepts without a solitary exception. In other words, they had to keep the law perfectly before they could gain the prize of eternal life. As we have heretofore seen, however, and as our Lord and the apostle expressly declaired no Isrealite did keep or could keep inviolately all the items of their law, and consequently, according to their covenant, not one of them was ever justified to eternal life. The Scriptures do not teach and no thinking person can be made to believe that God has made the question of life-everlasting or Death eternal dependent upon the keeping of certain days. The Scriptures specifically warns all who would be followers of Jesus Christ to let the wold judge them by the fruits of the Spirit and not to permit themselves to be judged by the keeping of certain days; Gal. 5: 22-23; "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, Godliness, faith, meekness, temperance; Against such there is no law." "Col." 16-17, reads thus: "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an wholly day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath day; Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." The Scripture last quoted means to inform us that the laws and ceremonies of the Jewish age-including the Sabbath were to shadows pointing to the real thing and the real thing since Christ's baptism at Jordan is the Christ. It is true that the law covenant relating to the keeping of the seventh day and all other features of that law was binding upon the Jews with whom it was made and it is still binding upon all Jews who do not believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God; but the law covenant was never binding upon the Gentiles. (All persons not descendant from Abraham) For the reason that they were never a party to it. The Lord had no dealings with the Gentiles and made no covenants or contracts with them prior to the Gospel age, that is before Christ's baptism at Jordan. ( Amos. 3: 2). "The Lord speaking to the Jews said: "You only have I known of all the families of the earth therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities." All Jews who accepts Christ as the Son of God and consecrate themselves to follow him are not under the law covenant but under Grace and the only law binding upon them is the law of love. In order to more fully understand it this subject we should know for what purpose was the law covenant given. The Scriptures inform us that the law was given to the Jews to serve them as a teacher or instructor in the rudimentary principles of Godliness and to help all the humble minded to be ready to pass from the house of servants into the house of Sons when Christ came.—Gal. 3: 24-25; but all who failed to do their best under the law covenant was not permitted to pass out of the house of servants into the house of Sons and therefore they remain under the law covenant. In other words, to simplify the matter let us suppose that we are preparing persons for school teachers; their schooling would being with the rudiments of first-grade principles and they would remain in that grade until they gave satisfaction before they would be permitted to enter higher grades. They would remain under the laws or rules of passing until they complied therewith. So it is with the Jews; all must remain under the law covenant until they accept Christ which act is the passing mark. The philosophy of the matter is this since no imperfect man was able to keep the law in letter and spirit the love of God, John 3: 16, arranged that Christ was perfect should come in the flesh perfect, and without sin and keep the law showing that a perfect person can keep the law and at the same time arrange to help imperfect men to keep the law; but before any of the imperfect humanity can receive this help and be counted perfect under the law they must come to Christ and agree to do his will and not their own. Under such conditions Christ's merit will be applied to their weakness and they will be considered perfect and as fulfilling the whole law as long as they remain in that condition of untarnished love and desire to do the will of God to the extent of their ability at any cost. All persons so coming to Christ are said to be under a covenant of Grace or favor and not under the law covenant. Christ's death would amount to nothing if any one could be justified by keeping the law. In the first place Christ would not have died if there was any who were able to keep the law perfectly. Gal. 2: 21. While the law covenant only represented the A-B-C principles of the Divine law, yet sinful man has never been able to keep it perfectly. Jesus Christ was the only one that ever kept that law perfectly, and therefore, as we have above stated, he captured the prize—Eternal Life, that was offered to any Jew who could keep it. Now after gaining the prize of Life-Everlast. (Continued on page 7). PAGE SIX BRIEF RACE NOTES BRIEF RACE NOTES (A. N. P. Service) Jordan Now In Pen.

Your Resolution Should Be: "I will Get Well the Mechano-Therapy Way" Mechano-Therapy is a scientific method of finding the cause of disease in the spinal column (back bone), and correcting that cause by adjusting the vertebrae (segments) of the spine to eliminate any pressure on the nerves that pass out from the spinal cord to supply all parts of the body with nerve force (life). When this is done nature will make you well. Mechano-Therapy adjustments open the channels for nature to do her work. Let us explain how Mechano-Therapy will make you well.

J., Presbyterian officials are agreed that the total amount would easily be pledged. The Lafayette Presbyterian church has accepted its quota of $2,600 despite the fact that it has plans for a new edifice which will cost within the neighborhood of $60,000 to $75,000. Rich Negro Murdered (A. N. P.

It was believed that he was killed about 10:30 o'clock the evening before, neighbors having heard several shots at that time.

Y., May 7.—Following orders from Associated Superintendent of Schools John L. Tildsley that the color line must not be drawn in school functions, the senior class at Girls' High School voted 71 to 6 to hold its pro al the Hotel Margaret asd to admit the six Colored girls in the class. When plans for the dance were made, the six were informed that they would not be permitted to attend because the hotel people did not want them in the ball room. Negro Membership Restricted (A. N. P. Service) CHICAGO, Ill., May 7.—It now appears that the only real check imposed on the Negro is the constitution of the proposal consolidation of the Methodist organizations, is the proviso that their contingent shall never amount to more than 5 per cent of the whole body. They are five per cest now; this is notice that they must never grow faster than the white membership. Obviously the door is thus closed and locked against the incoming of any of the independent Colored desimations like the Africas M. F. or the African M. E. Zion. But it is not likely that these independent Colored folks would ever condescend anyhow to unite with their white Methodist relatives.

Pressure on nerves in this part of the spine is the cause of so-called throat trouble, neuralgia, pain in arms, goitre, nervous prostration, la gripe, dizziness, bleeding from nose, disorder of gums, catarrh and other so-called "diseases." Pressure on nerves here will cause so-called bronchitis, felons, pain between the shoulder blades, hay fever, writers' cramp, and other troubles. Nerve pressure at this point causes so-called nervousness, heart disease, asthma, pneumonia, tuberculosis, difficult breathing and other lung troubles. So-called stomach and liver troubles, enlargement of the spleen, pleurisy and a score of other troubles are caused by pressure on nerves in this part of the spine. At this point we find the cause of so-called gall stones, dyspepsia of upper bowels, fevers, shingles, hic cough, 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 Mechana Therapy adjustments in this part of the spine. Why have so-called constipation, rectal troubles, sciatics, etc., when adjustments at this part of the spine will eliminate the cause? A slight displacement of one or both hip bones will produce so-called sciatics, together with many "diseases" of pelvis and lower extremities. One of Our Advertisers (A. N. P.

(Star News Service) LONDON, May 5.—The suburb of Willesden was the scene recently of the most pathetic gathering since the war days when batches of maimed men were coming in from France. Representatives of the 35,000 sight- less men and women in England who have been marching upon London for three weeks, gathered at Willesden and made their prepara- tions for their entry into the city tomorrow. Most of the afflicted members making up this tragic little "Coxey's army" came from the north of England. They seek legislation for the proper care and education of the blind together with employment. It is claimed that only one-seventh of the blind men in this country have work, despite the fact that many of them sacrificed their sight for their country in the war. Most of the blind are dependent upon public charity. The sightless marchers had planned to call upon Premier Lloyd George the following day, but the premier is at San Remo attending the meeting of the suprem ecouncil and it was not known when he could return. The blind men will march to the government buildings in Whitehall and present a petition. A mass meeting was held at Trafalgar Square just before the petition was turned in. During the 20 days' march from Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and other industrial cities, the blind grouped their way with sticks, assisted by friends. Some carried banners and some bundles of clothing. Kind hearted persons assisted the progress of the blind marchers and furnished them with food and money. Labor unions are supporting the plea of the blind men and leaders spoke at the Trafalgar Square meeting. Prominent Wise Men in Town The Star office was honored by a visit last Tuesday from a group of noble Wisemen who were in the city attending the sessions of the State Grand Lodge, held at the Fiist Baptist Church. The party consisted of those well known Muskogeeans, the Messrs. W. V. Gentry, Member Advisory Board, F. J. Gordon, Supreme Grand Auditor; J. E. Hart, M. D. Supreme Grand Scribe; and J. H. Mosley, Worthy Ruler of Pontiac Council, No. 1, Muskogee. These gentlemen were highly pleased with their visit at the Star office, and commented on its fine equipment for doing work in its line. Mr. Gentry voiced his good opinion of the Star by entering his name on our subscription books. Mrs. Lucile Grayson will leave this week for Oklahoma City, after a three week's visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Deerman of 904 South Lansing street. PAGE SEVEN "LABOR WILL GET US ON," SAYS TAFT As If We Were Not Laboring Centuries Before Armstrong, Frissell and Washington Were Born. Hampton Release. HAMPTON, Va., May 7.—William Howard Taft, former president of the United States and president of the Hampton Institute Board of Trustees, in his address delivered before twenty-five hundred white and Colored citizens, assembled for the fifty-second anniversary exercises of this pioneer industrial school, whose present Principal is Dr. James E. Gregg, declared that "with clearer vision and greater hope, men of the South have come to take a very different view of the race problem." Mr. Taft added: 'What a relief it is, how soothing, how helpful to visit Tuskegee and Hampton and to meet there those who are drawn together to create opportunity for a race that has had a hard time and that is manifesting a determination and courageous purpose to overcome the obstacles that have confronted the Race! "No one can give even casual attention to the changes that have come over the South in the last ten years, without realizing that we have today a new South—new in its material progress, new in the spirit of progress of those who are responsible for its growth and development, and therefore new in its attitude toward many of the problems that have confronted them in the past. Men are changing their attitude in a radical way toward the questions in respect to which their attitude in the past seemed rigid and immovable. "General Armstrong, Booker T. Washington, and Hollis Frissell taught the Negro race that the only method by which they could get on was inthedigity of labor, of industry, of thrift, of self-sacrifice. They taught that the way to overcome prejudice was for the Race to appeal to the enlightened selfishness of those with whom they were to live in the South and prove to the people of the South that it was to their interest to accord to the Colored people rights civic, rights political, rights business and equality of opportunity. SCOTT FERRIS ANNOUNCES WHAT HE STANDS FOR I am anxious that you know my position on the following subjects: "Militarism and Compulsory Training in Times of Peace:" I am against it. "Soldier Legislation for 4,800,000 Ex-Service Men:" I am for it. "Excess Profits, Tax and Burdensome War Taxes:" I am in favor of the repeal of the former and extensions of the latter—which would do more toward reducing the high cost of living than any one thing. "A Small Army in Peace Times." I am in favor of a small army. Large armies in peace times are burdensome, expensive and unnecessary. "Women Suffrage:" Both branches of Congress, the Oklahoma Legislature—both State Convention and the sovereign voters of Oklahoma have declared that women may vote. I am in favor of this and have supported it every time it has ever come up. "Peace Treaty:" Four salient things in the Peace Treaty should be preserved. First; the immediate closing of the war with proper safeguards as to indemnities and American rights; second, arbitration; third, reduction of armament; fourth, abolition of secret treaties. True Americans will not differ on these four salient propositions. "Economy:" I am in favor of economy in governmental expenditures, consistent with good service, good salaries and good administration. "Agricultural Legislation:" Open and honest markets, additional warehouse and storage facilities—reduced rates of interest. I am in favor of all these and everything that will encourage production and make farm life more attractive and remunerative. "Home Ownership:" Tenantry must be reduced—home ownership encouraged. This can best be brought about by liberalization of the farm loan act and the creation of funds, both state and federal, which may be had at low rates of interest and long tenure of repayment with which to procure homes for the homeless. BELIEVES WOMEN STRONG FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Perhaps Mississippian From Pisgah Who Preferred Hell to Women's Suffrage Suspected This (Special to Tulsa Star) BOSTON, Mass., May 7—Senator Owen of Oklahoma introduced at a luncheon of democratic leaders last Tuesday as a leader of the democratic nomination for president, said there was more hope in the national political situation than mary democrats seemed to think. A special source of strength, he thought, lay in the new body of women voters because they would vote for human rights for which the democratic party has always stool- PAGE EIGHT BMC ASSOCIATED MICRO PRUSS FIRST IN SERVICE OUR POLITICAL FAITH "All men are born equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." --Thomas Jefferson. We believe in the principles of true Democracy as promulgated by the patriot, Thomas Jefferson, and without fear or favor, we will be found at all times fighting for an honest, impartial application of these principles to all men regardless of race or color. OUR RELIGIOUS FAITH To live as near as we can to our own conception of our duty to God and to our fellowmen; to do right and live right at all times as God has given us the conscience to see and feel it. We believe man's greatest service to God may be rendered through honest, unselfish service to mankind. We believe in the Golden Rule and practice it. We fear only to do wrong. ANYTHING BORN of envy, jealousy or spite will eventually be consumed by the fire of its own machination. THE TULSA STAR will be here fighting for the Race when many of those who are now fighting us have "folded their tents like the Arabs and as silently passed away." THE MEANEST MAN in the world is the unfortunate devil who conjures up falsehoods about his neighbors and drops them as stumbling blocks in the pathway of his friends. THE OTHER FELLOW'S religion or politics is not near of so much consequence to YOU as your own. The best man in the world, whatever his religious or political faith, has his faults—so have you. STOP COMPLAINING about the High Cost of Living and do something in a material way to bring about the desired reduction. Plant a garden. There is no better way to cut down your living expenses. YOU CAN'T IMPROVE yourself by spending your time discussing your neighbors' faults. If you must find faults start with yourself and doubtless you will not find time to discuss the other fellows'. OUR PREACHERS are a splendid bunch—let us hope—taken as a whole; they are working to beat Hell. So are we. We are striving diligently to beat the high cost of living but we find it Hell to beat. YOU CAN'T BOOST your home town by "knocking" your fellow townsmen. Remember every "knock" like rubber balls come back to you with renewed force. Don't knock. PUSH and BOOST! THE FELLOWS who allow themselves to become inveigled in the meshes of an unholy conspiracy to harm a fellowman usually wake up after they themselves have felt the sting of the viper. The old saying "God don't love ugly." still holds good. THERE IS NOTHING that Tulsa needs more than a Y. M. C. A. building for our group. We are entirely too progressive and metropolitan not to have a modern "Y" building where the minds of our youths (and grown ups too, for that matter) may be properly shaped for better citizenship. Let's all get behind the "Y" movement for Tulsa and push it over for our boys. THERE SEEMS TO BE considerable variances between factions within the republican ranks among our fellows which are causing no little abuse and villifying. As the Star sees it, there is absolutely no need for Colored men splitting hairs and falling out over politics, and while we are not directly concerned, because of the interest we feel in the Race we suggest to our republican friends that there is nothing to be gained in fighting each other. Let us remember that the Race gains or loses much on the reputation our leaders make or have made for themselves. TULSA TOWN is making quite a record as a convention city. This week the "Wise Men" held a convention here; next week the physicians and pharmacists will be with us, and later on the Odd Fellows and the Pythians will hold their Grand Lodge meetings here. All of these bodies afford splendid mediums for us to advertise our progress in Tulsa. Let our visitors find us all boosting and pushing each other and they will be sure to return to their homes singing our praise. Of course we know Tulsa is the best town in the world, but we must let the other fellows know it as well. THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION starts on their official career under most favorable circumstances. They are favored—or seem to be—with the best wishes and co-operation of the majority of the people of the best town in the world. But it will be well for them to keep in mind the fact that nothing is certain in politics. They need not be surprised if after two years of faithful service to the people of Tulsa they find themselves victims of a political ring which would stop at nothing to discredit their administration and to consign them to political oblivion. Such is life in politics. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY THE FIRST OFFICIAL ACT of the republican city administration after making appointments was to discontinue the appropriation for the Colored Library, an institution maintained under three former administrations. The Star fails to see the wisdom or justification of this act. There is no institution of any city more important and essential to the mental development of its youth than the Public Library. Mr. Carnegie realized this years ago and because he did, he for a number of years gave $50,000.00 a day toward establishing and maintaining public libraries, and at his death a few months ago. practically every important city in the United States enjoyed and still enjoy the blessings of a Carnegie Library. Tulsa has an imposing edifice partially maintained by the city representing Mr. Carnegie's gift to our city, but the shame of this gift is in the fact that all classes of people of any race may enjoy the privileges of this library—except members of our group. An unfair distinction of course, but we offered no complaint as long as some place—however humble—that we might call "our library" was provided for the Colored children of our city. We took great pride in our little institution. We still feel a deep pride in it. And because we do we are going to continue to hold it open to the little Colored boys and girls of Tulsa in spite of the action of the city administration. The Star hopes the new administration will reconsider its action respecting the Colored library and continue to support it as other administrations have done. There are plenty good republicans to take charge of it, some fifty or more of them having applied for the position as librarian. For the sake of our boys and girls who have become accustomed to the blessings of a library, let some of them have it. The Star has no desire in the matter except that prompted by the unselfish interest we have in the youth of our group. We want and will always demand for the black boy and girl the same educational advantages that are freely given other classes of our citizenship. The city administration has made no attempt to discontinue appropriations for the library for white people. They dare not do such a thing and they know it. There is no good reason for them to discontinue support for the Colored library. The Colored people of Tulsa regardless of party lines will record this as blow number one from the republican administration to the members of our group. Oklahoma's Separate School Laws To Be Given Test in Court NEW YORK, N. Y., May 7.—The National Association for the Advancement of Gifted People, of New York City, through its Board of Directors, has officially endorsed the nomination of Frederick Douglass to the electors who are to decode open candidates for the Hall of Fame of New York University. In a letter, the Association summarizes the qualifications of Douglass as follows: (Special to Tulsa Star) OKMULGEE, Okla. May 3—At a mass meeting recently held by the citizens of Okmulgee, Oklahoma under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People strong resolutions were adopted against the closing of the schools as ordered by the Board of Education because of the lack of sufficient funds to run the full term of nine months. "Frederick Douglass was born on a slave. He achieved his own freedom and education and became a notable public speaker. He served as a living example of the injustice of slavery and as such gave great impartus to the anti-slavery movement. He as a great and effective leader of the abolitionists and marshalled the free Negroes as their helpers. He was the prime mover in recruiting Negro troops for the war when the nation doubted their worth and did not want them and when the Negroes persisted in offering their services. He became the greatest and most inspiring leader of the millions of freedmen and represented them with dignity and success. He was until his death interested in all forward movements and was an early advocate of woman suffrage. He founded a family which still lives and serves—one grandson being a violinist of repute. He was in the great word of the poet "the noblest slave that ever God set free!" The opinion was expressed, and heartily concurred in by all present, that eight and one-half months instead of nine if accepted without a protest might be the open sesame for further shortening of the term not only in Okmulgee but in other cities in this our proud state, hence the decision to ask the teachers to continue at their posts of duty until the end of the full term following which pay for same is to be demanded which if refused is to be the beginning of the test of a law that now stands in the way of Negro development and which many of those in authority wish to have repealed or so changed that it will not operate against so large a part of the citizenship of the state who are paying large taxes for the support of all departments of the state. The public will be informed relative to the moves as made by the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. as they enter this battle for the rights of the Negro children in Okmulgee. It is hoped that the people in the state will rally to this move should an appeal be sent out from our friends and that every branch of the N. A. A. C. P. will consider this as their fight and wade into same with the sure energy with which they have fought so many cases. Okmulgee citizens say that they mean to fight this case to the limit thereby securing a decision upon which all matters will be adjusted.
