M. E. Quadrenual Conference. Bishop W. T. Vernon Urges Race Members to Stand Hitched and to Put Down Race Friction. (Special to Tulsa Star) ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 21.—On Tuesday past, the general conference of the A. M. E., church closed its quadrenual session in St. Louis, Mo. to meet again in 1924. This session of the general conference lasted three weeks and was characterized especially by a large revision of the A. M. E. discipline; the redistricting of the Episcopal diocese; the expansion of the A. M. E. in South American fields, and last but not least, a political "hub-dub" or election campaign that scarcely had its equal in any political convention. Oklahoma in the redistricting was joined to Louisiana. It was hoped that Oklahoma would have been districted with New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado but the committee on Episcopacy thought that it would do better to tie Oklahoma to Louisiana. The five bishops elected were Rev. A. J Carey, formerly of Georgia, but new of Chicago; Rev. William D. Johnson of Georgia; Rev. J. Fountain of Georgia; Rev. W. T. Vernon of Tennessee, and Rev. Sampson Brooks of Baltimore, Md. It took one whole day and night to elect the five bishops. Among the other candidates were Rev. C. R. Tucker of Oklahoma; J. R. Ransom of Kansas; C. R. Ransom of New York; Rankin of Texas; J. C. Caldwell of New York, and fifty others. The walls of the coliseum were highly decorated with an advertising propaganda extolling the "virtues" of the different candidates that the national political parties would do well to copy. "Under the Cover," money could be seen circulating in the mysterious realms going to and fro for a subtle purpose. It was rumored that the election of one candidate cost the recipient somewhere around six hundred dollars. Denominational members are speaking about one bishop elected some time past who has not yet lifted the mortgages that his election entailed. Rev, Tucker of Oklahoma received a very high vote. His candidacy was very dignified and Christ-like. The elections demonstrated that any and every man to be elected must doingetaohrdlushrdlefm The Fol The Following Picture Shows a THE TULSA STAR "see" all the bishops—or there's "consistent" keynote of the conference. The southerners get together and that settles it. On Sunday, May 16, Bishop Evans Tyree of Nashville, Tenn., preached a wonderful sermon to an audience of over two thousand persons, Bishop Tyree is one of the most spendiid preachers who can reach the sympathy and hearts of his listeners. Delegates were present from all the states of the union, Canada, Panama, South America, Central America, Africa and the Islands of the sea. Among the prominent press men were Hon. J. B. Murphy of Baltimore, Ind., and Nick Chiles of Topeka, Kan. It seemed as if Bishop Connor was at one time trying to explain "something" to Brother Nick. One thing certain is that in the future the bishops must reckon with the growing progressiveness and intelligence of the laymen who coming now in great numbers represent some of the brains of the race. It is of especial interest to say here that the Rev, W. T. Vernon, when called on for an address by his hundreds of admirers, when the result of the election indicated his successful promotion to the post of bishop, delivered a speech that was masterful and thrillingly eloquent. He earnestly called upon his audience to stand together and above all things to put down all traitors to the race. The admonition was vociferously applauded by the vast concourse of Metholists, and it was noted that one bishop changed color like a chameleon. Assignments of A. M. E. Bishops for 1920 to 1924.

LECTS SCHOOL MAN PEAKS FOR LA TULSA SCHOOL MAN SPEAKS FOR LANGSTON Tulsa Professional A. PROF. J. W. HUGHES The announcement that the Langston summer school is to open its doors on June 7th, prox., naturally thrills the hearts in high expectancy of all those who have had the exceptional opportunity of spending the summer at Oklahoma's great Negro institution of learning. It is well to contemplate for a moment what the Langston summer normal is, and what it stands for. In the first place, the Langston Normal is the culmination of years of hope and yearning on the part of conscientious Oklahoma colored teachers and students for an ideal and legitimate course of study and instruction under thoroughly prepared specialists. Hence Langston today on account of the persistent effort of President Marquess affords an opportunity never before available for the ambitious colored teacher and student to pursue clearly refined courses of study and through faithful attention to the work at hand to receive credits entitling them to certificates unblemished by the shadow of dishonesty and graft. The sessions of the Langston summer normal begin June 7th, registration days being June 4 and 5. It THIRTEENTH EPISCOPAL DISTRICT — Bishop Evans Tyree; all Louisiana and Oklahoma conferences.

WHITE SOLDIERS MISTREAT COLORED GIRLS Small Race Riot Averted at Washington by Prompt Police Action. WASHINGTON, May 18.—Julius Redmond Byrd, twenty-three years Redmond Byrdd, twenty-three years old, both soldiers attached to the hospital corps, Fort Myer, Virginia, attempted to stage a small race riot at Thirty-third and M streets, this city. The two young men carried revolvers, which were drawn when several young colored girls resented being shoved about the sidewalk. Policemen Cole and Moore appeared on the scene, disarmed the young soldiers and locked them up. They were sentenced to six months in jail by Judge Hardison, who imposed an additional sentence of six months on Byrd for flourishing a gun at one of the girls. Both were turned over to the military authorities of the court.—News. UPRISING OF DARK RACES IS THREATENED Turks and Mohammedan Races Unite in Protest Against Allies' Demands. (Special to Tulsa Star) CONSTANTINOPLE, May 14. The Sultan of Turkey has threatened to resign as a protest against the severe demands made upon that country by the Allied powers. Among the injustices provoking the sultan to this action are the concessions made to Greece. It is said in diplomatic circles that the resignation of the sultan will be the signal for an uprising of the entire Moslem world. In sympathy with the Turks, the All-India Caliphate Committee of India has adopted resolutions against cooperating with the English authorities governing India.

C., May 21—One white man was instantly killed another was mortally wounded in a clash between the races here tonight following an attempt made by the police to arrest a Colored man who, it is claimed, caused considerable disturbance after his daughter was arrested earlier in the day on the charge of assaulting a white woman.

NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS NOTES OF MUCH INTEREST Furnished by the Secretary of the National Negro Business League --News Notes of Racial Progress. (Headquarters of the National Negro Business League, 1861 Twelfth street, Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia.) Business development among Negroes over the entire country is taking on a more progressive aspect every day. Almost daily, reports coming in from various local leagues tell of some new enterprise being launched, and these enterprises are in new fields as well as in the old established lines. New and better methods are being installed and the watchword among the trade is "Ultra-efficiency." The Wage Earners' Bank of Savannah, Ga., purchases an entire block of buildings at the southwest corner of 135th and Seventh avenue, New York, a general improvement in the property being contemplated. The purchase price was near a quarter of a million. The Division of Negro Economic of the department of labor, Dr George E. Haynes director, reports continued results in the organization of building and loan associations throughout the state of Ohio, and an extension of this effort to Tidewater, Va. The Commercial Bank and Trust company, Richmond, Va., is being promoted under a capitalization of $100,000, surplus, $12,500, T. C. Erwin, president. Mr. John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank of the city of Washington, D. C., is heading up the National Mutual Improvement association the object of which will be among other things, the financing of worthy business projects that are needed. The Federal Building and Loan Association of Washington, D. C., is capitalized at $100,000 with Mr. J. Edward Rattley president. The Universal Publishing company, 502 T street, Washington, D. C., Charles E. Lane, sr., president, is doing a general real estate and loan business under a capital of $100,000, organized in January. The Monumental Pictures Corporation, J. Williams Clifford, president, is capitalized at half a million and proposes to produce superfeature motion pictures to bring about a more thorough understanding and appreciation of Negro life in America. The corporation is now placing its stock on the market from its headquarters in Washington. Information from Mr. Bert M Roddy, cashier of the Solvent Savage Bank and Trust company, Memphis, Tenn., shows that the co-operative stores of that city, with fourteen stores in total, operates on a $36,000 paid in capital, doing an average monthly business of $50,000. Interest is also being shown in the probable establishment of a Negro bank in Havana, Cuba. Definite information on this is at present, however, vague. The Progressive Business Association of Philadelphia, the local league of that city, reports through its secretary, Mrs. Somerville Fauntleroy, that things are getting under way for the entertainment of the National League in that city in August, which meeting promises to be the most important yet held. The Norfolk Negro Business League, like Chicago, has now a regular established headquarters with a paid secretary in charge. Atlanta, Ga., has recently revived and rechartered, 200 Auburn avenue, with J. C. Moss, president, and expects to launch an immediate campaign for development, Dr. H. Roger Williams furnished the "pep" that got it over. The National Negro Business League is now co-operating with the treasury department through Mr. William Hather Lewis, director of the savings division of the war loan organization, in a thrift drive. As far west as Los Angeles and from the Mexican to the Canadian border the influence of the National Negro Business League is felt and expressed in a tangible way. The progressive League of Los Angeles staged a big revival meeting and Mr. R. S. Abbott went all the way from Chicago to speak on the business outlook. The New Age reports that "Open a bank—awake to your opportunities" was the keynote of his address. The National Negro Business League will appreciate authentic information regarding new ventures. Be sure that your corporation is listed with the League. During the week of April 26th the Victory Investment company, Oscar L. Hayes, president, conducted a business fair in the gym roof of the Y. M. C. A. building at which 23 local business concerns were represented by booths and a general acquaintance meeting held every night. Each night brought some special featured program, the most outstanding being business night held on Tuesday. Addresses were delivered by Mr. John W. Lewis, of the Industrial Savings bank., Mr. J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle, and Mr. William Stevenson, executive secretary Y. M. C. A. THE MUSEUM Under the personal management of Julius T. Presley CUPID INVADES ELLIOT'S MUSKOGEE, OKLA., STORE The Dainty Bookkeeper of This Concern Is Called as the Bride of an Ex-soldier. (Special to Tulsa Star) MUSKOGEE, Okla., May 21—That busy little fellow, Dan Cupid is still on the job, and has disturbed in a measure the very satisfactory arrangement of affairs in the office of Elliott's Muskogee clothing store by tying hard and fast the heart of Mis. Theresa Glassco, dainty book-keeper for the store, to that of Mr. Newell T. Greene, returned soldier, in wagood暖哄. It would seem that the busy office, with its ledger, day book, adding machine, cash register, typewriter and files, would afford no congenial quarters where, in the little god of love would wish to dwell, but nevertheless he was there. When the leaves of the office books were being fingered, he was there—and his chubby little face peered forth. When the keys of the adding machine were being manipulated, he was there—with his smiling face flitting from one kef to the other. And when the cash register was approached, there was he also perched, still pleading his case, and so eloquently did he plead that the fair young bookkeeper yielded, and Saturday night when there was a Lull in the usual weekend business activities at the store, the couple proceeded in a taxi to the parsonage of the First Baptist church, where the distinguished and newly elected divine, Rev. J. T. Johnson united them in holy matrimony. Miss Glassco, the bride, is a Muskogee girl and an exemplary product of the manual training high school. She has been the efficient bookkeeper and office clerk at the store practical y ever since her graduation. The room, Mr. Greene, is one of Muskoee's best young men. He was a driftie in the late war and saw service overseas. While he aided in gaining a few of the victories "over there," he admits that his victory "over here" is the greatest of them all. As both young people are very prominent, their romance has been watched with much interest in an effort to ascertain the exact wedding date, but to no avail. It came as a happy surprise to all of their many friends who wish them much joy. The bride and groom are at home, 3701 West Broadway, to their many friends and acquaintances.

Tulsa, Oklahoma COLORED CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR NOMINATED Blount Has no Show, But Proposes to Make Campaign Hot. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 14—J. H. Blount of this city, has been nominated by the Colored republicans of the State for Governor. The nomination came to him after the Colored voters had bolted the "regular" convention where only white men were seated as delegates.

Harvard and Yale Professors on Board of Trustees. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14. Two distinguished educators of more than national reputation, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart., Eaton Professor of the Science of Government in Harvard University, Cambridge; Mass., and Dr. Charles R. Brown, Dean of the School on Theology, Yale University, New Haven Conn. have been elected to membership upon the Board of Trustees of Howard University. Thus two of the oldest and most famous of American educational institutions become linked in interest and sympathy with the "Greater Howard" reconstruction movement. Dr. Hart was present at the inauguration of Dr. Durkee as President of Howard University and delivered one of the notable addresses upon that occasion. Dean Brown attended the Annual Convocation recently held at Howard and spoke twice to interested groups of educators gathered from all parts of the country, and to the officers, teachers and students of the University. These splendid additions to the Board of Trustees together with the recent nomination of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt of Oyster Bay, New York, indicate that Howard is indeed adding to her already strong Board of Trustees a group of dynamic forces to help her establish her claim to recognition as a university truly national.

During the past few years, the increase in number of the Colored population has been abnormal due to the attraction o offportunities at work at better rates of pay. While decent homes for Negroes in Philadelphia, have always been scarce, with the unusual conditions now prevailing they are almost impossible to find. In many instance families are living in one room—some times six families in a house with unsanitary conveniences only arranger for one. The Whittier Centre is now making an effort to meet this need and must rely as heretofore on the public for support. It is hoped that real financial support will soon come forward to help solve this great problem. The Housing company is about to increase its capital stock from $25,000 to $200,000. A gift of $10,000 for working capital gives new impetus to our plans and we hope to be able to state more fully and definitely in regard to them in the future. M. E.

The doctrine of eternal torment is blasphemy on God's character, is contrary to the scripture and has done more to blind themids of people concerning God's plan of Salvation than all other errors combined. Every intelligent minister knows, or should know, that the greatest punishment God has prescribed for willful sinners is death everlasting, the second death—a death from which there will be no resurrection. They also know that Hell and the grave mean one and the same thing—oblivion, a state of nonexistence. They further know that the lake of fire and brimstone mentioned in the scripture is death or show Israeli princip exist things and N including times, Jerusalem or gas the Bic the lair briststone though Kingdote though ndry tters y.

PHONE OSAGE 3132 HILL ture is symbolic of the second death and is not literal. They are, or should be, fully aware that the Israelites, their laws, customs and principal cities, while they really existed, were typical of greater things to come and that the Old and New Testament writers including our Lord Jesus many times, used the literal city of Jerusalem and its literal cesspool or garbage burner (designated in the Bible as the valley of Hinnon, the lake burning with fire and brimstone) to convey the proper thought concerning the coming Kingdom of Righteousness. The thought intended to be conveyed is that when the Lord's Kingdom shall have been established in the earth nothing will be allowed to remain in it that will hurt or offend. According the rules governing the literal city, (made of stone, cement, brick nad morter) all filth was to be cast into the literal cesspool or lake burning with brimstone to be consumed. So will it be in the Antitypical city, the New Jerusalem which is not made of literal stone, cement, brick and morter, but of justice, power, love and wisdom. The Antitypical cess pool or lake of fire which is to consume the fifth of this Antitypical city is not a literal place of literal fire and brimstone but is the second death. In other words, the cess pool or garbage burner to the New Jerrusalem is the second death. Rev. 19:20; 20:14:15; 21:8. You humble hearted Christians who desire to know and do the will of God, I beg to remind you that any preacher who is either preaching or endorsing by silence the Hell Fire doctrine is an enemy to the true Gospel ant is woefully misrepresenting the Scripture. In defense of those who desire to know the truth and in defense of the good name of Jehovah, and not in the sense of a "know all," I challenge any minister in Tulsa or Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, or anywhere, who is so unfortunate as to believe that the Bible teachers an eternity of tortures for sinners, to defend his position before my face and the public. I say further that any minister who ignores this challenge on this most important subject and continues by word or silent endorsement to teach this Hell Fire doctrine, is a wolf in sheep's clothing and has not the interest of the sheep at heart but only desires to fleece them (get the money) and make a big show to the world. No one has a right to pose as a minister of the Gospel and attempt to teach the people who has not a good general knowledge of God's plan of Salvation, Long before God said, "Let there be light," and before man was created, He had a well fixed plan of procedure concerning the salvation of the human race. Just as in the case of an intelligent business man, before beginning the construction of any great building, he makes out a blue print plan of procedure. All will agree that if any one would work on such building pleasing to the owner his work would have to be strictly in harmony with the plans and specifications and that all work not in harmony with those plans would be condemned as 'against the interest' of the owner. God knew man would sin before He made him and could have crea- By RICHARD J. HILL. ated him without the ability to sin, but God had no idea of making man a mere intelligent machine. God then, and long before, bad countless numbers of agents that could not do other than His will but He desired that man should love and obey Him from an intelligent appreciation of the fact that to do so brings the greatest degree of happiness and to do otherwise brings pain and death. Hence we see the wisdom and necessity on creating him with a will of his own and permitting him to learn valuable lessons through the exercise of that will. God knowing in advance that man would sin, his love and wisdom, arranged in advance, that he (man) be rescued down the stream of time aftef having a long trip of more than 6,000 years upon the angry billows of war, blood-shed, sickness, sorrow, pain and death, in due time God sent His only son to arrange, through His sacrificial death, for a new trial for life for Adam and his race. When Karsis said upon the cross, it is finished, it meant that a healer for the had been secured for alone. New after this new trial was secured a day was set in which Adam and his posterity would be brought before the Judgement Bar of God and given a most lavish reward for life. All those in that day are having had such experience with sin and death, and arrest seeing the love of God and his power manifested in the resurrection of the dead, will not hear the priests and king will die the second occasion from when there will be no resurrection. The most blessed thing about this Judgement Day is that the one who loved us well enough to give his life for us will be the judge. Let no one think for a moment that this Judgement Day is a twenty-tour nour day; it is not, it is a thousand-year day. The period between the time when Jesus secured a new trial for man and time for that new trial to begin is called the Gospel Age. During the Gospel Age God has been selecting a little hook from every nation, stained and tongue, to be with the Lord Jesus as close to Him as a bride and assist Him in judging the world in righteousness. During this Gospel Age the Lord has not been dealing with any one except those who have developed the Abrahamic faith and made a covenant with the Lord to walk in His footsteps of sacrifice and suffering. During the Patriarchal Age God dealt only with the Patriarchs, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. During the Jewish Age God dealt only with the Jews, and during the Gospel Age the Lord has only been dealing with the consecrated Behevers—the prospective bride of the Christ. Very soon the marriage of the land will take place, the Great Judgement or human resituation will begin. That will be the time when all that are in their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of Man and come forth. All will then have a chance to gain Life Everlasting on the human plain. Some one may say, "I don't see anything so great in everlasting life." But frriends, stop and think for a moment: Man will be perfect physically, mentally and morally. There will be no sickness, sorrow, pain or death, or any such things to molest or disturb. The Devil will first be chained and then destroyed. Every individual will be a king. If you would get some faint idea as to what a perfect individual will be, please just call to mind all the physical beauty there is in the whole world, all the knowledge of science, art, music, and what not, and combine all these qualities in one person and as great as all this might seem if would only represent a feeble remnant of the qualities of a perfect man which qualities have been in process of deterioration for more than six thousand years. Just here we don't want to be misunderstood. The churches' hopes are not Life Everlasting on the human plane but Life Immortal on the Divine plane—the highest spirit plain, the same kind of life on the same plain as Jehovah God. To be raised from the plane of humanity to the plane of Jehovah far above the Angels, Principalities, and powers are the great prizes offered to those who are loved to God even unto death (during this Gospel Age). Just at a glance we can see that man has not been satisfied to work according to God's plan. God did not plan the conversion of the world during this Gospel Age. He has His time set when He will begin the conversion of the world and that time is after the work of the Gospel Age (the selecting of the little flock) is ended. The fact is that the work of the Gospel Age in selecting the little flock is for the very purpose and is preparatory to the conversion of the world. Under the blinding influence of Satan most of the preachers have been acting on the theory that God PAGE FIVE was trying to convert the world during this Gospel age. They have people to join the church, to keep their dues paid up and go straight to Heaven at death or do otherwise and go to Hell and burn forever. They have been, and are yet, impressing the poor people that the building of expensive churches and paying fat sataries to the parsons are very necessary in order to keep their names on the Lamb's Book of Life. Every unbiased person can now see that God did not plan the conversion of the world during this Gospel Age for the reason that there are more sins and sinners in the world today than there was when the Gospel Age began, You will agree with me when I say that all work done in the name of the Lord which is not strictly in accord with the plans and specifications of the great Architect of the Universe will be condemned and dashed to pieces in the day of inspection of judgement. I hear some one say, "There are so many teachings and doctrines that I do not know which is right." I beg to say here that I can sympathize with you. We were all in the same condition but by the grace of God some of us now have our eyes opened and are very anxious that you get yours opened. Listen, friends. Let me give you a rule by which you may determine at any and all times what is the true Gospel of the Kingdom of our Christ. All doctrines, teachings or interpretations of the Scriptures which do not hold out hope for the world of mankind through the resurrection of the dead and which do not square with the four attributes of God—justice, power, love and wlsdom—are not sound doctrines. In other words, all teachings which directly or in its logical interpretation shows Jehovah God to be less just, less powerful, less loving and less wise than the verying and less wise than the very best of the human race, should be struck down as spurious and false. God is the example of our very highest conception of justice, power, love and wisdom. God desires us to look to Him as our example and that He is more just and loving to us than we are capable of being to ourselves. By the application of this simple rule which the Lord wants us to use the doctrine of Hell fire and eternal torment falls to the ground. Search the jungles of the whole earth and you fail to find even a savage so void of love and justice as to consent to the punishment of his child in a Hell of fire and brimstone throughout all eternity. No human being has the ability to do such. The very thou' itself can only find lodgement in the mind of the very Devil himself and those who are working in his interest whether they are doing so intelligently or ignorantly. While Divine justice, power, love and wisdom consented to the permission of evil which has blighted humanity for more than six thousand years, this consent was granted for wise purposes. God fore-knew that man would be better able to enjoy the blessings He had in store for him after having had such experience with sin. Divine justice and love take cognizance of the fact that the great masses of the human race were born and reared under conditions over which they have no control and that they are not responsible for the revenges upon them by the adversary. It, Divine justice, also recognizes the fact that man in his fallen condition is no match against the Devil and his host of demons. Therefore Divine justice demands that before the greatest penalty, the second death, is inflicted upon mat the Adversary and all his agents must be chained and finally destroyed and that all the mental, physical, moral and intellectual weaknesses of the human race be removed that all may have an unharmed opportunity to gain Life Everlasting. All teachings that do not hold out hope for the world of mankind through the resurrection of the dead and restitution of all that was lost in Eden is not the true Gospel and is contrary to the teaching of the Scripture. The preachers are to blame for all this confusion of doctrines and it is up to them to straighten out this mess they have gotten the people into; and if they do not get busy right quick and acknowledge their error the people will soon straighten them out and send them to the mines, brick yards, factories and farms where they belong. The sunlight of the true Gospel is shining too bright for selfish preachers to fool themselves in thinking they can much longer fool the people with their mosty doctrines o the dark ages—Eternal Torment, Hell fire etc. The ministers know that they do not believe in this blasphemous doctrine. They know the Bible does not teach it and they know that their people are in ignorance of the truth. Now as to why they knowingly persist in teaching or endorsing, by silence, that which they know to be wrong I will leave (Continued on Page 6).

Strong Combination Against Wilson, INDIANAPOLIS, May 20.—It has just been disclosed that a conference of prominent democratic leaders was recently held at French Lick Springs the purpose being to organize a strong opposition to any possible renomination of President Wilson and to fight the nomination of William G. McAdoo. The conference proposes to contend for the insertion of a wet plank in the national democratic platform and hence will oppose domination of national democratic convention by Win. J. Bryan the prohibition-democrat. The state agreed upon was as follows: For president, Governor James M. Cox of Ohio; for vice president, Governor Edward T. Edwards of New Jersey. The conference was made up of the democratic leaders of New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. Georgia Repudiates Wilson Georgia Repudiates Wilson ATLANTA, Ga., May 26.—The democratic state convention which adjourned yesterday went on record as refusing to endorse the Wilson administration, the Versailles treaty and the league of nations covenant. The convention was controlled by the adherents of Thomas E. Watson and Senator Hoke Smith. The followers of Attorney General Palmer were outvoted on all measures except one. Two delegations were elected to the national democratic convention, one uninstructed and other instructed for Palmer. The latter delegation was chosen after adjournment of regular convention by the Palmer forces. Drafting G. O. P. Platform Drafting G. O, P. Platform. WASHINGTON, May 20.—For two days a conference has been held here by prominent republican leaders, including Will H. Hays, national chairman, for the purpose of revising and perfecting the platform of the party to be submitted to the national convention at Chicago in June. The discussions were $ \mathrm{e} $ confined to questions of domestic policy and the party's declaration on foreign affairs were deferred. The preparation of the G. O, P. platform was originally assigned to a committee of 171.

Cohen Full of Fight in Louisiana the fight between two "lily's" and the "Tans" waxes very warm. Walter Cohen is coming to Chicago with a full delegation and is declaring that they will all be seated in the convention. What steps the "Lily Whites" will take to thwart the "Tans" in the determination to take the full delegation from the antagonists no one knows at this time. But one thing is certain the "fur will fly" when the convention meets. Intelligent Negroes Will Regenerate South. Perry W. Howard appears to have won hands down in Mississippi. The redoutable lawyer-politician from the "Vardaman" balwick brings the news to Chicago that the "ifly whites" were literally routed by the "straight" republican forces. "We have won a great tactical victory in the state of Mississippi for justice and fair play," declares Howard. "I am the accredited leader of the organization in our state and will be recognized as such by the convention. Intelligence is making faster strides among the colored people in the state of Mississippi and that's what is the matter with the white people in our state. They expect us to stand still and we insist on going forward. The South will be regenerated by intelligent Negroes and we Mississippiians have got to do our share of the work. That i why I fight so hard." Six New Policemen for Harlem. Three young colored men have recently graduated from the New York school for training policemen and have been assigned regular duty in Harlem, the great Negro congested district of the metropolis. Three other young men have entered this school and will soon be appointed on the force. Dr. Charles B. Wickham of this city was one of the visitors at the A. M. E. conference in St. Louis. Rev. C. R. Tucker of this city is reported to be in Kansas City visiting a sick brother. THE TULSA STAR. Saturday. May 22. 1920 FALSE GODS. A considerable number of the Race are making much ado about the social advantages which obtain for Colored people in many sections in Europe. Social advantages are splendid things to enjoy. And, yet we are inclined to think that many among us place more than necessary stress on the particular kinds of social advantages. To yearn for white association, without taking into serious account, the character of the social contact sought is a grave mistake. In the first place it is an open confession of inherent social inferiority, that may or may not be true. In the second place people socially worthwhile need not worry themselves about social advantages. They arrive much sooner, in the majority of instances, much sooner than we are prepared to meet them. Put the larger question involved is the inrepressible fact that all of our finer social factors are vitally needed at home. There is too much social work to be done among our people here in this country for any of us to give Europe more than a passing thought in this connection. The great mass must be watched over and be given the care and the instruction that will enable it the better to meet successfully the larger responsibilities of citizenship making their insistent demands on the spirit of our intelligence in these days. And then it is downright cowardice to even think about self-social comfort when this bigger duty is staring us in the face. It is true that we have the professional social worker in our midst—may the good Lord extend his days—but he spend most of his time watching the calendar and the date when the "ghost walks" to exert a strong influence on the course of the sounder social life of the people. Going to get social advantages in Europe is chasing false gods. Let us do better than that—A. N. P. Service. THE QUESTION OF METHODS We spend too much time discussing methods and organizing movements. We have the "Booker Washington Idea" and the "Dubois Yearn for Better Things." Each in a certain way is contributing to the spiritual and material growth of our Race in this country. Individuals, in the main represent the physical aspects of a race's social determinations. That is because they are humanly impelled and humanly beset by the qualities that are part and parcel of our social inheritance. The "Washington Idea" is a good thing if on separating it from the "Washington Aspiration" it is found to have its birth in the soul—seeking of the Race itself. The "Dubois Yearn" is an important factor in the spiritual development of the group if it is discovered that it is the deeper utterance of the spiritual hunger of the Race. In other words, if the principles of action advocated by either of these notable men have emanated from an impersonal insistence in the pursuit of Race uplift, why God save us the men. Men are measurable. The spirit of the people infinite. The possession of a university diploma or the founding of a school for industrial training are completely aside from the questions impressively involved. The Race will live. Posterity will fix the historical place of Washington and Dubois. In the meantime let us saw wood and quit quarrelling about methods. Time will prove what they are worth.—A. N. P. Service. MEN AND WOMEN The advent of the women of the Race in politics is fraught with tremendous significance. New orders of political relations are bound to come to us as a result of the entrance of this new factor into the political life of the uttermost point. It is well and good that this is the fact. We are of the opinion that a newer and somewhat more honest comprehension of political duty has arrived in our midst. Pricked to a realization of the increased responsibilities that have come to her we look for the woman of the Race to demand of herself a brave outlook and a sound appreciation of the relative aspects of her social and economic value to the Race and the country at large. A presidential campaign is impending. The women are to have a first place in determining not only issues but presidential possibilities as well. Already the women have shown their interest in these matters by giving a strong impetus to the Leonard Wood candidacy. The movement started in Chicago and followed closely upon the heels of General's now much talked about speech, delivered at the convention of the Lincoln League. But it is with the men of the Race that her largest work is to be done. We sincerely believe that it is in this direction that the women of the Race will render the greatest service. Backbone, courage, honesty and unwavering devotion to principle is what we vision, in largest measure, coming to the Race by reason of the responsibility of the ballot having been placed in the Standard Life Insurance Co.

Protect your loved ones and your declining years with a FORSALE! 5,865.28 A. of Land Located in McCurtain and in Leflore Counties, State of Oklahoma. This land will be cut into 20, 40, 50, 75, 100, 160 and 200 acre blocks to suit condition of the buyers. It can be bought on easy terms with small CASH PAYMENTS. TERMS: Ten years if desired., 6 1-2 per cent interest. Price arranged from $7.50, $10.00, $12.50, $15.00 and $20.00 per acre. I have 3, 032.28 acres in one block, 2,150 acres in one block and 683 acres in another block. My Colored brethren and sisters, I want you to think for a few minutes as you read this circular. The opportunities that are now being presented to you will soon close their gates against all possible cheap prices on all farm land. I have traveled through most of the Southern states. I find the lands are advancing in price every day. I also note the system of renting is being changed against the interest of the Colored farmer. The owners are renting their lands in larger tracts from 400 to 1,000 acres. For example, take the state of Texas. The Colored renters are almost entirely shut out. In many cases the Colored renters own live stock, such as mules, horses, cattle and hogs, valued from four to six and ten thousand dollars. This live stock is put on the market and sold for two-thirds less than cost. The owners move into small towns and try to get homes. They purchase little 25 feet lots in the most unhealthy and undesirable parts of the cities. They are settled there but a short while before sickness and death begin their terrible harvest, one by one passes to the grave until finally the entire family has passed away. All this has happened because they have confined themselves in close quarters in cities and in towns. If you want to live a sweet life, a pure life, a long life, go to the country. The new system of renting does not prohibit the Colored renters from renting, but the requirements are such that there are but a few who can meet the demands of the owners. The non-capability on the part of the Colored renters shuts them out of the race. A race can not live and prosper living in the bounds of cities and towns; it must have an outing or perish. Let the race pay no attention to that class of Negroes who are ready to fight every project that is trying to be put on foot by those who are trying to build the race. Roosevelt called this class "Braying Jack asses without brains." We must try not to be like the children of Israel in wondering around the mountains for forty years. While we live we must be moving on. When we stop we begin to die. Rest is necessary, but only to re new our strength that we may press on again. An anchor is needful for a ship, but anchoring is not a ship's business; it is built for sailing. A Man is made for struggle and effort; not for ease and loitering. I am not certain of the name, but I think it was the Hon. Luther Root in addressing a graduating class at Hous University, Virginia, who said that the Negroes are the only race that had not been overtaken by the white race and advised the race to continue to move onward or else it would be overtaken and trodden under foot. Let the lawyers, doctors, teachers, preachers and merchants of the race agitate commercial organizations, land organizations, manufacturing organizations. To accomplish all of these organizations let us plant a larger crop of Race Unification in order to reap a productive crop. I wish to state our land agent, Rev. Moses F. Williams of Sapulpa, will visit your homes in person. Listen to his arguments on buying homes and purchasing farm lands. In meeting him you will meet a race man indeed; one who is fully able to instruct you along this line. W. C. SCRUGGS, Sapulpa, Oklahoma. As we have said before, the men have not been inspiring success in politics. We feel certain the women will improve our political position—A. N. P. Service. English Statesman Raps Good Old U. S. A.

The commencement exercises of Dumbar high school, Shawnee, Okla, were held in the Convention Hall and from the applause of the audience and the comments of those present, the exercises were rendered better than any in th history of the school. Miss Alma Robinson was the only graduate from the high school department and she finished with high honor and well deserved praise. She will enter Kansas University this fall and take a college course. The musical numbers were exceptionally good. Miss Holt with her sweet and charming voice sang "Senorita Mine," and the audience was so well pleased that she was forced to respond with two encores, Madam Holt, Caesar and Misses Strong, Harris and En Dailey rendered a quintet, "The Cornfield Melody," which was repeated twice and they were also called upon to sing another number.

Prof. Day was recently requested to stand for the permanent chairmanship but he declined and Prof. Malone of the Poro college was elected. Poro College Noted Institution The Poro college, an institution designed to teach the physical care of the human body and to especially improvement of the looks of the fairer members of our race is the greatest institution of its kind in America. The young ladies of the race are trained in chiropody and other kindred sciences which relate to physical beauty. The Poro hair preparations are manufactured here and about eighty young ladies are employed to make preparations for shipment and to ship these preparations which consist of perfumes, Poro, soaps, toilet water, etc. The furnishings and decorations of this institution are the finest and most expensive of their kind. As you enter this institution you are received by a young lady who is most cordial and polite. She ushers you into a spacious office where you register and await until you are taken on your journey of inspection through the building. Upon the wall of the reception room is a large painting which represents the Negro in three stages of his existence. The first stage is his beginning, the second his exodus and the third shows how intelligence and educational training have especially fitted him for the higher forms of our civic life. It is hoped that all who visit St. Louis will take the time to see the Poro college. It speaks in silent words of what the Negro with a vision is able to do.

While the Star will not assume responsibility for the report, it is rumored among the office force that Cupid is playing a part in Frank's visit "back home," and that a very beautiful girl is on the other end of the line. At any rate Frank is now in Columbia and in a perfectly new way has no doubt whispered the old story which will always play an important part in human affairs of the heart. The Star force, like all of his other friends in Tulsa, wish him much happiness and a speedy return to the "Magic City." EXAMINE YOUR PREACHERS AND AND GET RID OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE PEDDLERS (Continued from Page One) it to the unbiased thinker to say. In defense of God's character every earnest hearted Christian should cease to patronize or give any heed to the teachings of these Eternal Torment and Fire and Brimstone Peddlers. We desire that this examination of the ministers be thorough and nothing be left undone. In conection with the necessity of one having a good general knowledge of the Divine plan of God before attempting to teach the people there are some other special Scriptural requirements under the light of which most of the parsons, I am afraid, would begin to hunt a hiding place. I call your attention to only one Scripture and ask you to examine your ministers most earnestly and rigidly and I feel sure you will find most of them guilty under that part of the third verse which refers to ministers being greedy for filthy lucre( Over active in money grabbing), First Tim. 3: 2-7. bv eDvcsi cwtag ur; bv edves, cewaq du, I stand ready to give a scriptural reason for any thought suggested above.

THE REPORT that a wave of price reduction is sweeping the country comes as welcome news to the man in ordinary walks offlife, but we have failed to see any concrete evidence of it in Tulsa. THE STAR desires to commend the city commissioners for their deision to continue the Colored Library and for the appointment of Mrs. Bankhead as the new librarian. This is an institution that should be encouraged for the sake of the youth of our group in Tulsa. Mrs.. Bankhead will certainly do all she can to improve the library and we hope every encouragement will be given her in her work. IF THERE IS ANY Difference between the so-called "worldly man," who makes no professions of Christianity, but who lives attends to his own business and lives honestly and honorably by his neighbor, and the so-called "Christian worker" who, garbed in the sanctity of the church and under the cloak of "doing work for the Master," forgets or ignores the sacredness of home ties, the difference is decidedly in favor of the "worldly man" and we prefer two to one the chances of the latter in the great day of Judgement when God Himself will hold out the seepte to the acceptable. THE UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE of several white Tulsans in that part of Tulsa familiarly styled "Little Africa" lead us to believe that they were unwise in the choice of chaperones or companionable persons. Instead of selecting "refined, blue eyed damselfs with rich, golden locks and spotless reputations" it seems that some of them prefers the "soiled doves" of the under world to carouse with and among people of questionable reputations. We suggest that in the future these "joy riders" take along the undertaker when they set out to visit places where toxicants and lewd conduct degrading to humanity flourishes in violation to law and public decency. THE STUDY of the Holy Book and its characters of the primitive ages gives some valuable lessons which shows that human nature has not changed with the times. For instance, when Peter was charged with being one of the dieciples of Christ he became highly exasperated and denied the Lord with an oath. A simple denial of the charge on Peter's part would have been sufficient, but Peter was human—weak human—and he betrayed a weak trait in human nature when he became angry at being accused of something of which he knew he was guilty, and of which he should not have been ashamed, but which he lacked the moral courage to confess. So he attempted to hide with an assumed air of injured dignity and angry expressions the guilt which he knew was upon him. And so weak human nature still goes on trying to hide itself under false assumptions, but as in the days of Peter, still in vain. Verily, "Your sins will find you out." THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, one of the leading republican dailies of the country., for some months has been conducting a contest for selecting the best and most appropriate planks for the republican platform in the pending campaign. The many thousands of readers of this journal were invited to write a plank and thousands of dollars were put up to be given the authors of what competent judges would decide were best. Nearly eight thousand planks on various domestic and forien subjects were submitted and out of all these the judges selected fourteen as best and most certain to win popular favor of the greater number of American voters.. We respectfully call the attention of our republican readers to the fact that not one of these fourteen planks referred either directly or indirectly to the Race and the problems which beset our pathway.. Not on of these fourteen planks referred to lynching and the necessity for enforcing the 14th and 15th Amendments, which were originallf designed to afford protection to our group in our pursuit of life, libertf and happiness. Our republican friends who have been waiting for more than fifty years in the shade of summer and the sunlight of winter for something to turn up may see by this they have been waiting in vain. The republican party, and the democratic party as well, wants to know "How will the women vote?" Speaking for the womenof our group, the Star ventures the prediction that the women of race, like the better thinkers among our men, will not look alone to the G., O. P., butwill show good generalship by casting their lot in no one party but look to all parties for an equity in the essential principles of a free and fair democracy.

Commencement Exercises at Langston to Be Entertaining and Instructive. President Marquess Cordially Invites All Friends of Education to Attend. (Special to Tulsa Star) LANGSTON, Okla., May 21.—The annual commencement exercises at the Colored Agricultural and Normal University are to begin Sunday, May 24, and close Wednesday evening, May 26. President Marquess, the talented master mind of this great Oklahoma institution has made extraordinary preparations for this event and he is issuing a cordial and general invitation to att the Colored people and white friends of this institution to be on hand. In making his announcement, President Marquess dwells on two things in particular; one that every thing is free except one event—"The Cantata of Ruth," and the other, that the speakers for the occasion are of national repute. Considerable preparation has been given to the rendition of this popular cantata, "Ruth," and there is every reason to believe that it will be produced in a highly creditable manner. President Marquess speaks in glowing terms of the large enrollment for this year, and the admirable spirit of co-operation that has existed between the faculty and student body. He says "seeing is believing," and urges all to come and enjoy the hospitality of Langston. The program for commencement week is as follows: Sunday, May 23—Eleven o'clock a. m., Baccalaureate sermon; seventhirty o'clock, annual sermon to the religious societies. Monday, May 24—Eight-fifteen o'clock p. m., closing exercises of the Senior high school class. Tuesday, May 25—Ten o'clock a. m., final chapel exercises; two-thirty, class day exercises; eight-fifteen, annual exhibition of industrial department. Wednesday, May 26—Eleven o'clock a. m., graduating exercises of college and normal clases; one o'clock, dinner (servel free to everybody); three o'clock, annual farmer's meeting; eight-fifteen o'clock, "The Cantata of Ruth." Everything is free, including the dinner on commencement day, except the "Cantata of Ruth" for which an admission fee of fifty cents will be charged. Socialists Ask for Debs' Release.
