VOLUME X Race S DISNEY AND GRANT ARE FAVORED UNANIMOUSLY National Committee Disposes of Second District. "JIM CROW" CONVEN- TIONS ARE BARRED Party Councils Ordered Opened in All States. CHICAGO, Ill., June 3.—The Oklahoma contest in the Second district was decided unanimously by the national republican committee in favor of the Hamon delegates, L. G. Disney and G. O. Grant. They were opposed by M. H. Wade and W. H. Twine, pledged to General Wood. The Muskogee convention, controlled by Hamon, did not instruct its delegates. Aroused by continual charges that Negro republicans in southern states were discriminated against and denied admission to party councils, the national committee today directed Chairman W. H. Hays to notify all state organizations that party conventions and conclaves must be held in places of access to all republicans, regardless of color. The continued charges by Negroes aroused the ire of committeeman Fred B. Warren of Michigan. He made a motion that the national chairman be instructed to send notification to republican organizations in southern states that party meetings must be held in places where anyone, white or black, could enter. The specifications of the "Southern States" drew opposition from Col. C. S. Jackson of Georgia. He termed it a "fling" at the South and moved an amendment to include "all states." After considerable bickering, Warren amended his own motion and it was carried unanimously. Committeeman A. T. Hert of Kentucky, who was western campaign manager for Hughes in 1915, favored the motion. GENERAL WOOD UNDER FIRE ONLY IN ONE BATTLE O.wald Garrison Villard Punctures Fight Record of Presidential Candidate. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 4.—The fact that the fund of General Wood in the presidential primary overtops a million dollars and that he is supported almost unanimously by the Negro leaders in all parts of the country, are of course mere coincidents. It would not be fair for any one to presume from such a co-incident, that our Colored republican brethren, who are so voiciferous in declaring their adhesion to the party is founded upon principle, are at the same time not overlooking a chance to clip off a few coups of interest on that "principle." But be that as it may be, if the military record of General Wood has caused this stampede to enroll under his banner at the national convention, they have had their run for nothing, because the General virtually has no war record, according to Oswald Garrison Villard, the former owner and editor of the New York Post. The friendliness of Mr. Villard to the Negro Race is best attested by his unusual and unselfish labors in behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People. For these labors, if for no other reason, the following statement written by Mr. Villard and published in current issue of "The Nation," ought to be of interest to everyone concerned in selection of proper nominee for president at the National Republican Convention. Mr. Villard says: "In the complete transformation of Dr. Wood from an inconspicuous military surgeon into a general with a record of administrative reconstruction in Cuba four men figured largely: Theodore Roosevelt; the same Henry W. Lawton; a chaining convict under the alias of "E. G. Bellairs," and a retired officer of the army, James E. Runice. Theodore Roosevelt picked Leonard Wood to be the regular army nurse of the Rough Riders because of their common tastes for strenuous out- THE TULSA STAR door pastimes and their close Washington friendship. When Leonar Wood was promoted to brigadier-general, Roosevelt succeeded to the command and brought the regiment back to Montauk Point. If Lieutnant Colonel Benson is correct the only hostile shots General Wood has ever heard were those at Las Guasimas on one day. Testifying before the Senate Military Committee on December 3, 1903, Major General James H. Wilson reported the following conversation with Theodore Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill: "He, Roosevelt, began then in rather extravagant terms of praise of General Wood, whereupon I said to him, 'Governor Roosevelt, I think you are perhaps mistaken about that. If I am correctly informed, General Wood never was under fire in his life until the Spanish War began, either in the Geronimo campaign or at any other time. In the Spanish War he was never in but one battle, and that at Las Guasimas, where, but for his rescue and support by the Colored troops, he would have been badly handled.' 'Oh, yes,' said Mr. Roosevelt, 'he was at San Juan.' To which I replied, 'I beg your pardon, he was not. You know that he was in the rear looking for ammunition.'" "Yes,' said he (Roosevelt), 'but do not tell anybody.' Preachers Hold Confab in Tulsa Baptist Ministers From All Parts of the State Hold Important Religious Meeting. Tulsa as a convention city was again tested during the early part of last week. This time the pulpit champions of Baptist faith assembled here for the purpose of discussing biblical and ecclesiastical topics which trend toward the extension and strengthening of the Baptist organization throughout Oklahoma. The sessions began on June 1 and continued until June 3, and were held at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. From a persual of the various hotel registers, it is estimated that fully 150 ministers were in the city and meetings held during the day and at night were attended by quite a large number of Tulsa's faithful and energetic advocates of the Baptist persuasion. The evening services were made particularly instructive and entertaining by means of moving screen pictures, reviewing Church Missions in all parts of the world. These pictures were shown under auspices of the Inter-Church World Movement. Seven well known able pulpit orators and deep biblical students spoke each day for 30 minutes on following topics: Rev. R. A. Whittaker, Stewardship; Rev. T. T. Love, Wagoner, Christian Giving; Rev. S. A. Clark, Guthrie, The Ministry; Dr. J. T. Johnson, Muskogee, The Mission of the church; Dr. W. M. Drake, Nowata, Denominational Co-Operation; Dr. J. D. Provo Oklahoma City, Money and Religion; Dr. N. A. Robinson, Rentiesville, Outlook of the Future Church. The Ministral delegates left Thursday, well pleased with the hospitality shown them by Rev. Whittaker and members of his congregation and others who aided in making their stay pleasant. MARQUESS ANNOUNCES IMPORTANT EXAMINATIONS Fine Opportunity Offered for Eighth Grade Graduates of Colored Schools. President Marquess, the indefatigable Race educator of Langston Agricultural and Normal University, calls attention to the examinations for Agricultural Scholarships which are to take place in the office of the various County Superintendents throughout Oklahoma on Friday and Saturday, June 11 and 12, 1920. Weekly Mail Edition TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, JUNE 5. 1920. DOCTRINE OF ETERNAL TORMENT TO BE DEBATED SENSATIONAL CLASH OF ERUDITE BIBLICAL AUTHORITIES AT CONVENTION HALL Richard J. Hill, Star's Theological Contributor and "Black Billy Sunday" to Talk on Hell. The readers of the Tulsa Star and the few others comprising the Colored population of Tulsa who are not, are promised an intellectual and spiritual divertissement which comes to but few in a generation to enjoy. This extraordinary event consists of a spectacular debate upon the subject "Torment," Arrangements have been about consummated that enable us to announce a discussion upon this most interesting of all topics to civilized man to be held at Convention Hall, Friday evening June 18, 1920. As admission will be free to all who wish to attend, it can be said safely that Tulsa's largest hall will be packed to the walls, and hundreds likely turned away for lack of seats and standing room. The debate which has been arranged as indicated originated from the series of religious articles written by the Hon. Richard J. Hill, well known Tulsa citizen, which have been published weekly for sometime in the columns of the Tulsa Star. Concerning these articles of Mr. Hill, it may be said, they have evoked both widespread approval and some dissaproval from persons living in various and distant localities of the country. One of these articles attracted the attention of "Black Billy Sunday" (Rev. McPherson), the nationally known evangelist and rival of Billy Sunday. "Black Billy Sunday" at the time was conducting a series of highly successful meetings at Central Baptist church, Muskogee. He was so stirred up to defend the "Doctrine of Eternal Torment," he so ably and eloquently propounded, that he stopped long enough to issue a challenge to meet Mr. Hill at any time and at any old place and debate authenticity of "The Doctrine of Eternal Torment." His challenge was conveyed to Mr. Hill who willingly accepted it, and arrangements were at once made to enable these two talented and thoroughly prepared theological giants to meet upon the rostrum and present their arguments to all who avail themselves of opportunity to attend. Both gentlemen are so well known it seems superfluous to introduce them. Mr. Hill is a well known, very highly educated and respected gentleman and citizen of Tulsa Trained also by law, he is gifted with an ability to express himself in clean cut and easily comprehended English. Rev. McPherson, "Black Billy Sunday" is a native of Texas, but has won nation wide fame for his spectacular oratory and remarkable eloquence in his evangelistic field. The meeting of two such able Colored men naturally will prove the most sensational oratorical event ever to occur in Tulsa's history. Aside from serving as a great inducement for special interest in agricultural training, these scholarships carry with them a bonus of $100.00 payable for two years to the recipients of these scholarships The examinations are open to those who have completed the eightth grade in the public schools both white and Colored. It is the earnest desire of President Marquess that the Colored youth of Oklahoma who are qualified to enter, shall take these examinations, win the scholarships and thus bring credit to the Race as well as some remunerative benefit to themselves. The Colored people of Sand Springs are planning big things for Ju te 19. K. OF P. TEMPLE COMMISSION VOTES $150,000 ADDITION Important Meeting of Pythian Officials Held at Hot Springs, Ark. (Special to Tulsa Star) HOT SPPINGS, Ark., June 3.—A history making meeting of prominent K. of P. officials was held here yesterday, with dignitaries from seven or eight distant parts of the country. The purpose of the meeting was to consider plans and specifications submitted by a number of eminent architects for the building of an addition to the K. of P. bath house and sanitarium located here. After due consideration to the plans before them, that submitted by Mr. W. T. Bailey, the widely known Memphis, Tenn., Coloreo architect and contractor, was accepted, and he was awarded the contract for building the $150,000 addition. This addition will make this sanitarium the most complete institution of its kind owned by a Colored secret order in this country. Among those present were J. H. Fordham, South Carolina; E. E. Underwood, Kntucky; John Parris, Mississippi; W. W. Anderson, Florida; M. W. Rogers, Texas; E. Tidrington, Indiana; Dr. C. B. Wickham, Oklahoma and Supreme Chancellor Green of Louisiana. It is planned to begin excavation and construction of this beautiful and costly structure in July and work will be pushed until it's complete.

Dr. J. A. Evans, Washington, D. C., Principal; R. R. Moton, T. M. Campbell, Dr. T. F. Duggar, R. S. Wilson, Miss Mary Feminear, were among the nctables present. Two Delegations From Georgia Place Claims Before Committee CHICAGO, Ill., June 4.—Taking up the claims of the contests between delegates from Georgia at its meeting today, the republican national committee plunged into its first fight of real candidates at next week's convention. The fight ranged between a regular reported delegation uninstructed, but which is supposed to favor the candidacy of Governor Lowen and a contesting delegation which has been instructed for General Wood. The regularly reported delegation headed by Henry Lincoln Johnson, an Atlanta Negro, who was shown to have received $9,000 from the Lowen fund and the contesting delegation, or Pickett faction, was shown to have received at least $10,000 from the Wood fund. Governor Frank O. Lowen, candidate for the republican presidential nomination was confined in his rooms in the Blackstone hotel today with a cold he took yesterday during Memorial lay exercises. He was ordered by his physician to stay quiet for a few days. Tulsa Republicans Dis- Dr. Bundy Pleased pleased Over Ruling With Oklahoma Here's what the Tulsa republicans think of the ruling of the national republican committee Thursday regarding the right of Colored men to be admitted to State conventions. You get the trend of the white republicans minds in the following article which appeared in the Tulsa Tribune yesterday, and if you know the democrats of Tulsa you must admit that as a whole they are fairer to our people than the republicans have shown themselves to be. Here's what they say: It is all right for the national committee to issue a warning that Negroes shall not be barred from republican conventions, but the observance of the rule in certain southern states will have to depend upon circumstances. Such was the consensus of opinion among local republican leaders here today. The unanimous resolution of the national committee at Chicago yesterday warning the country that it would not again tolerate conventions which Negroes were barred by local prejudices, caused spirited discussion here. It followed a contest by Negroes from Muskogee district who claimed they were barred from the republican convention held in the Severs hotel. Would Not Effect South. "The ruling was the only one the national committee could make." said Peter Diechman, local attorney and prominent party worker. "The Negro has constitutional right to vote and that right had to be recognized. However, the question involved often becomes a pertinent problem in Oklahoma and the states of th black belt. We have handled the situation in the way we thought best in the past, and will be compelled to do so in the future. It is imperative that the white man should dominate these political conventions." J. S. Overstreet, a party worker in city elections, declared it would be felly of the rankest kind to give the Negro too much political authority. "Every man should have the freedom of the ballot, but domination of political conventions means something more that that," he said. "The civil war left us with a big problem down in the South and we who are familiar with it must take care of it in the way past experiences has taught us is best." Judge Ralph E. Campbell, head counsel for the Cosden Oil company and for many years federal judge for the eastern district of Oklahoma, refused to commit himself. He declared he was out of politics, suggested that the problem was too big for one man, and said he would leave it to the national committee to find a way out. Others held in general to the view that nothing should be done to hamper the Negro in the exercise of his franchise, but white republicans should maintain control of their conventions and primaries with no uncertain hand. Few were inclined to criticize the national committee for its stand. The general view seemed to be that the committee could not consistently make any other ruling, but such a ruling could not, in many cases, be observed throughout the south.

Dr. Bundy Pleased With Oklahoma Race Loving Oklahomaans Contribute Cheerfully to Aid Him in His Great Distress. The lecture tour of Dr. Leroy Burdy through Eastern Oklahoma, which on account of mismanagement at first was threatened with disaster, in the end turned out most happily for him and all concerned. The Doctor was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience in Muskogee, Tulsa, Okmulgee and Sapulpa where unfortunately he had to arrange meetings himself. In his various addresses, Dr. Bundy was given close and interested attention and he succeeded in giving all of his hearers the impression that he was indeed a Man among men. The people generously contributed toward the fund which he is to use in extricating himself from the coils of prejudice and injustice, and it is estimated that he collected not much less than $900.00 during his stay in the state. Mr. M. C. Perara, Oklahoma manager of the Standard Life Insurance company, a staunch friend of Dr. Bundy's, has written the Star complimenting it for its services in aid of the Doctor's mission, and extends for him full-hearted expression of appreciation and thanks to all those who contributed so liberally to this cause.

Twine, the recognized leader of the Oklahoma Colored Republicans, left last Monday night on the Texas Special for Chicago. Up to the hour of his departure, Judge Twine was optimistic as to his chances of being given a seat in the National Republican Convention as the regular delegate of the 4th District. During Monday, he had put in his time preparing a brief showing how the Colored women voters of Muskogee had been excluded from a conference of white women voters. The conference had been called to meet at the Sawokla Restaurant, white, where persons ofctor are not expected outside of the kitchen during business hours. The same trick had been played on the male voters by calling a meeting of district at Sever's Hotel.

There are three of these, two delegates each from the Second, Fourth and Fifth Districts. When the contest from the Second, the Muskogee district is called J. J. McGraw himself will move that it be dismissed without consideration. In a conversation last night he told me that the case was without merit and involves the Negro issue, which has changed from the Negro asking consideration in spite of the fact he is a Negro to his demanding recognition because he is a Negro, and will not be permitted to take up the time of the committee. The committee then went into the Georgia contest, looked upon as the first real contest of actual political significance and having a bearing on the strength of the Wood or Lowden men, it drew a large audi- THE TULSA STAR.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC I have been informed that a few Pastors of the local churches have besieged themselves warning their members to stay away from lectures being given at 618 East Archer, by International Bible Students every First and Third Sunday of each month. I am glad to note that most of the preachers are rather broad-minded and are beginning to recognize that the International Bible Students have the truth. But I am sorry to say that there are a few igncrant, pin-headed fellows posing as minisfers who are bitter enemies to Light or Truth, and whose only object is to keep the poor people in darkness and squeeze all the money out of them they can and make a big show to the world. Listen, dear people of the public, you can put it down that any preacher who warns you to stay away from the International Bible Students' is ose who wants to keep you in darkness. He (that pin-headed preacher) knows that we have the light and he also knows that if you come into the light, down goes his (the preachers) pork-chops. Remember the place, 618 East Archer street, Masonic Hall, 3:00 P.M. sharp every first and third Sunday of each month during the summer, fall and winter. Watch this notice weekly for subject of lecture and any possible change of date. Subject for June 6, "THE JUDGMENT DAY—WHEN AND HOW."

Since actions speak louder than words, the master statement, "Feed my sheep," has been changed, by these would be under Shepherds or Hirelings, to read, "Fleece my Sheep,"—Get the sheckles, the money Since the good Shepherd has been away the larger per cent of these under Shepherds have busied themselves building creed pens and echa one herd in all the sheep he can and in order to make a good show to the world, goats are freely driven in with the sheep and there he keeps himself busy fleecing sheep and milking old goat—(goats being persons who are not christians at all but connected with the church for policy sake.)—The sheckle must come it being the all important issue. These unfaithful servant have prevented the masse of God's sheep from feeding in God's green pasture of truth and the few that manage to break out of these creed-pens or those that could not be driven in are hated by these unfaithful servants and generally classed as good timber for Hell Fire. But Alas! What are the poor sheep being fed? Nothing but the musty provender or food of the Dark Ages—join my denomination (Creeed-pen), pay your church dues (be fleeced), and I will preach you straight to Heaven when you die or do otherwise and go to Hell—an eternity of torture. Another very popular food which the poor sheep is generally fed is emotionalism and this is one of the specially concocted dishes of the Devil and the one which is certainly used unsparingly, especially among the Colored people. When things seem to be getting a little quiet and the sheep begin to do a little serious thinking, the Devil behind the curtain dishes up some more emotion and passes it to the crowd through these ignorant or unfaithful servants. Most of us are possibly aware of occasion where a preacher would set his whole congregation in an unproof of shouting simply by dramatically squalling loud and groaning long with out saying a word worth hearing. I do not mean to say that all emotions are of the Devil but I do mean to say that all demonstrations of feelings not based upon thought or rationality is of the evil one. You very often hear some one say, "Oh! I heard a great sermon," but push them close to tell you what they heard and they can tell you little or nothing. I beg to suggest that the Devil and his host of Falen Angels which kept not their first estate are specialists on tickling feelings and if necessary, they will make one kick the bottom out of the church house and jump clear through the ceiling hollowing, "Amen, Glory to God," if by so doing they can prevent sober thinking men in search for truth, Bewar of all religious emotions for which you can give little or no explanation. The greater the emotion or feeling, less rationality. As an example of some of the many concoctions of the Devil to arouse the feelings or emotions; on one oce The Baptist people are going to put on a Rally Sunday May 30th. We are going over the top for our Lord and the old Missionary Baptist church. Prof. B. W. Battle is putting on a drive for membership in the Sir Knight Guiding Star of the East. Mrs. Sibbia Rix of Omaha, Neb., is here visiting friends. We are for James S. Davenport of Vinita for democratic nomina- And Stop Fleeing 'em casion the preacher preaches Brother So and So traight to Heaven, dresses him in a long white robe, puts a crown on his head, golden shippers on his feet, harp in his mouth and gives him free access to an inexhaustible supply of milk and honey. On another occasion a rant sinner dies and of course by intimation if not by actual words, he is sent below to be tormented throughout eternity by fire proof Devils; and on still another occasion this same preacher gives his congregation a picture of the Resurrection day and in this picture he ca's out Gabe to blow his trumpet and shows graves bursting, dead both great and small rising, etc. Now on all three of these occasions the emotions were greatly aroused. But let us see how much reason or truth is there at the bottom of it all. Are we to understand that the fellow who has spent hundreds of thousands of years in Heaven must undress and come down and the fellow below must get a permit and be relieved from Hell-Fire to come up and re-enter the grave to be resurrected in the last day? Friends, think a moment. To be reasonable one must conclude that there is either no going straight to Heaven or Hell at death or there is no resurrection of the dead. But the Bible arounds from Gennesse to Revelations with positive assurance that there will be a resurrection of the dead both of the just and the unjust. Under Shepherds what are you feeding God's sheep? Are you feeding them the rich provender or food of God's plan of Salvation and his plan of selecting a little flock during this Gospel Age and afterward thou them (The little flock) bring blessings to all the families of the earth? Or are you feeding them the musty doctrines of the Dark Ages, Eefral Torment, Heal Fire and Emotionalism? Under shepherds be warned the good Shepherd is near and when he ap-GALLEY TWO SERMON pears and note the hundreds of creed-pens with you unfaithful servants over busy fleecing the poor sheep and milking old goats (getting the money), you can rest assured that something is going to happen. There will soon be one of the greatest old creed-pen smashing and unfaithful servant chasing that has ever taken place in all the ages. The time has come for the poor world to know the truth concerning God's great plan of Salvation and all who are wilfully opposing the truth are engaged in a losing proposition. You had just as well attempt to sweep back the ocean-tide with a broom which you know would be an impossibility. The only sensible thing to do is to fall in line with the truth and receive a blessing but if you get in the way of the truth, which is God's charriot you are sure to be crushed. Take your choice as to whether you will receive a blessing by coming out for the truth or receive a crushing by trying to oppose it. tion for judge of the Criminal Court of Appeals, easern district.

The Dutch population is running away from the British, numerically, in South Africa. Yet there are many who assert that the struggle between whites for supraneity is a more side show. The real struggle is the conflict of blacks against the white population. Black skilled labor is beginning to drive out white skilled labor, and black Bolshevism has begun to show its fangs. It is being declared by students of the situation that present tendencies in racial development cannot be very long continued without a crisis being reached.

Manning, has just issued a statement on the "Migrant Negro" which outlines the causes for the migration of the Negroes from the South to the North. Mr. Manning says that the most disappointing thing to the South is the failure of the migrants to return to the former homes. It was confidently predicted that one winter in the North would be sufficient to discourage them and that they would be writing and telegraphing for tickets for home. But, instead the recreants found themselves jobs, places to eat and sleep and then began to fit himself into the new order of things. In the earlier period of migration the newcomers were of the poorer, uneducated and the more or less irresponsible class. Since then, however, the better educated and more thrifty members have been coming and the situation has consequently, improved. Petronize Star Advertisers.

Convention at Chicago Largest Negro Colony in U. S. A NEW YORK, N. Y., June 4.—The "Harlem Settlement" is now stated to be the largest colony of Colored people in the United States. Upwards of 140,000 Negroes are living in a district about two miles square whose property holdings amount to more than $100,000,000. St. Philips Episcopal, the richest Negro church in America and the home of Mrs. Mary Walker who died the richest Colored woman in the world last year, are in the district. The colony represents a growth of fifteen years. Colored Folks Take Whole Car (A. N. P.

It appears that the Colored patrons of the cars crowd in the cars and appropriate most of the seats which become "colored" as soon as they are occupied by them. This action has caused the whites much annoyance because they are not allowed, by law, to occupy a seat along side a Negro. Only a Few Box Seats Taken.

First Republican Convention 66 Years Ago HISTORY SHOWS THAT DEMOCRATS OF EARLY DAYS HELP TO ORGANIZE REPUBLI CAN PARTY. Liberal Minded Men of All Parties United in Effort to Abolish Slavery. CHICAGO, Ill., June 4.—In assembling at Chicago in June the republican national convention will be sitting in the section where the republican party was first named and withiting 200 miles of where the first recorded republican meeting was held sixty-six years ago. The approach of the convention recalls this early history, though with the passing of the years and the development of new issues the first steps of the party have passed from common view. "It will probably not be possible to trace to the earliest date the first possessive meeting which led to the 1914 To Will H. Hays, as chairman of the Republican national committee, falls the duty of calling to order the Republican national convention. formation of the new party," writes Francis Curtis, in his history of the republican party. "It is quite likely that there was no considerable gathering of men, nor discussion of plans and policies, until Mr. A. E. Bovay, a Whig, of Ripon, Wis., together with a Mr. Brown, a democrat, and a Mr. Baker, a free solider, issued a call for a public meeting to consider the now alarming situation." Slavery the Issue. The great issue of the hour was the extension of slavery. Of the political situation prefacing the formation of the republican party Mr. Curtis says: "No political party was able to elect enough members of congress to overrule the united will of the slaveholders, and until the anti-slavery sentiment of the North should be so welded together, and its advocates should be so united in one party as to be able to send to Washington enough men to outlive the representatives of the slave power, there was no hope that its advance could be checked." Reference was made to the Ripon meeting by Henry Wilson, when vice-president of the United States, in his book, "Rise and Fall of the Slave Power," published in 1874. "One of the earliest, if not the earliest, of the movements," he said, "that contemplated definite action and the formation of a new party was made in Ripon, Fon du Lac county, Wisconsin, in the early months of 1854, in consequence of a very thorough canvass, conference and general comparison of views inaugurated by A. E. Bovay, a prominent member of the whig party among the whigs, free soilers and democrats of that town. A call was issued for a public meeting to consider the grave issues which were PAGE FIVE assuming an aspect of such alarming proportions." Meeting Held in Church. The meeting thus called, wrote Charles M. Harvey in "The Chantauquan," September, 1897, "was held in the Congregational church at Lipon, February 1854. A resolution was adopted in the meeting that if the bill then pending in the senate to throw open to slavery the territories of Kansas and Nebraska should pass, the old party organization in Lipon should be cast off and a new party, to be called the republican, formed on the sole issue of opposition to slavery extension. "The bill passed the senate, in which body it originated, on March 3, 1854, and on March 20, the second meeting, participated in by men of all parties, was held, this time in a school house at which Bovay was the leading spirit." "By a vote of the assemblage, the town committees of the whig and free soil parties were dissolved, and a committee of five, three whigs, one democrat and one free soiler, was chosen to begin the task of foring a new party. "M these two meetings was started the earliest systematic work begun anywhere in the country to bring about the coalition of the enemies of slavery extension, who were eventually fused into a homogeneous and aggressive party, adopting the name of republican." Made House-To-House Canvass, Mr. Harvey quoted a letter Bovay later wrote to him about this meeting, in which he said: "I went from house to house, and from shop to shop, and halted men on the streets to get their names for the meeting of March 20, 1854. At that time there were not more than a hundred voters in Ripon, and by a vast deal of earnest talking I obtained fifty-three of them. We went into a little meeting, whigs, free soilers and democrats. We came out of it republicans, and we were the first republicans in the Union. I had one great advantage in this work. I was an intimate friend of Horace Grecley's and he would always listen to me on political matters. He did not always assent to my proposition, but in the end he did to most of them, and he did to this one after a great deal of nagging. It was not one letter that I wrote to him, but many, before he displayed the republican flag in the Tribune's columns." Mr. Harvey in his article quoted in Mr. Curtis' book, concludes: "It is not claimed here that Bovay is the creator of the republican party. The spirit was active in 1851 in every village and city in the free cities, which would have created that party even if Bovay and Greeley had never been born. Bovay, however, was the first person who set out in a resolute, persistent and practical way to form the party; he was the first to suggest the name, and Greeley, through his paper, which had the largest circulation and influence of any journal in the country at that time, gave his valuable aid in making the party project and name known to the country." "The first national republican convention was held in Philadelphia 2 years later." Roland Hayes Touring Europe. (A. N. P. Service) LONDON, Eng., June 4.—Roland W. Hayes, the noted Negro tenor arrived here last Sunday from the United States. Mr. Hayes has outlined a concert tour of the British Isles, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Portions of Africa.

Colonel Roscoe Sounds Toscin. [W. N. P. Service] DHLADELPHIA, Pa., June 3. Cilonel Roscee Simmons and Marcus Garvey were the principal speakers at the mass meeting held here last Monday night. Booker T. Washington, Jr., presided. About three thousand listened to the addresses which were loudly applauded. COLORED HERO IS HONORED ( A. N. P. Service.) EDGEFIELD, S. C., June 4.—On last Friday, the remains of John Mobley, a colored soldier of the World War arrived from overseas to be buried here. More than a year ago his mother, Emma Mobley received a message, telling of his death in battle. The casket was covered with a large American flag and his funeral was attended by a large concourse of Colored and white people. Read the Star and keep posted.

WHAT THE RACE NEEDS MOST now is not mere talent but purpose; in other words, not only the power to achieve, but the will to labor. YOU HAVE A PERFECT RIGHT to make yourself miserable and unhappy, if you choose to do so; but you have no right to make your neighbor so. IF YOU ARE A FAILURE, if you are unhappy and despondent you may see the person who is most to blame by stepping to the looking-glass!—Hill's Golden Rule. IF YOU INTEND TO WORK there is no better place than right where you are; if you do not intend to go to work, you cannot get along anywhere. Squirming and crawling about from place to place can do no good.—Abraham Lincoln. A MONEY PANIC is threatening the country. Money is dearer now, and harder to get, than it has been for a generation. This fact should encourage our people to refrain from the useless expenditure of money. The greatest lesson anyone ever learned is the lesson of thrift.—Learn it! THE MAN MOST LIKELY to succeed and advance in life is the fellow who continually tries to develop himself, who is always opening new inlets into his mind, bringing in a fresh supply of ideas and interests. But the fellow who hasn't sense enough to know that he doesn't know it all is a failure to start with and a damphool to end with. THE MAN THAT'S CLEAN inside and outside; who neither looks up to the rich nor down on the poor; who can lose without squealing and win without bragging, is considerate of women, children and other people; who is too brave to lie, too generous to cheat and too sensible to loaf; and who takes his share of the world's goods and lets other people have theirs, has the characteristses of a true gentlemen.—The Doherty News. THE OLD TIME idea that all Colored men by birth and inheritance are republicans, has long since become obsolete, and this is one of the most hopeful signs of our racial advancement in the social and economic as well as the political life of our country. Our progress as a group will be measured in this country in proportion to our political diversification. The thinking Race man prefers not to stultify progress of our race by unifying politics. THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE MISTAKES lead the world. The perfect people work for them, running errands and counting columns of figures. The genius is not the man who never made mistakes who had a chance thrust on him, who was endowed and all that; he is the man who had no chance and was not gifted, but who took the raw material of life and fate as he found it, and made something fine out of it. The only perfect person you will ever meet is the perfect fool. Safety Hints. A TOUCH OF FRANK FRIENDLINESS, a fleeting revelation of kindly human nature, in correspondence or personal interviews, in any sphere of life, on any occasion—these things mean so much to the people with whom one comes in contact, and they make life so much more interesting. We're all human beings, living in the same old world—we're all most desperately human at heart—we may do different work, read different books, have different religious and political opinions, utterly different interests, in life—but we can't get away from the fact that we've got that one supreme thing in common—our humanity, and we don't differ so very great- ly in our emotions.

In the meantime the TRIBUNE may learn to know Mr. Schoenrich better and more intimately. The linen is very dirty and sadly needs washing. I desire to announce my candidacy for the office of Sheriff of Tulsa county, subject to the action of the Democratic primaries to be held on August 3. I stand for the enforcement of the law, as it is written, against all persons just alike, without fear or favor, bias or prejudice. I believe that the sheriff of Tulsa county should be a peace officer, as well as a proscess server. If elected I will make a diligent effort to suppress high jackers, house breakers, automobile thievery, bootleggin, gambling and carrying concealed weapons, as well as all other criminality. I will appoint a matron as deputy sheriff to take care of women prisoners in the county jail. Every cent appropriated for the feeding of county prisoners will be spent for that purpose. I will see that the county jail is placed in a sanitary condition and kept that way. If elected I will devote my entire time and attention to the proper discharge of the duties of this office.

This building will quite likely bring him a revenue of $15,000 yearly in rentals. He is interested also in public schools and recently gave a $1,000 donation toward their improvement. During his stay, Mr. Copeland generously gave the Star a large order of printing and a yearly subscription for the newsy Star. DuBOIS WINS SPINGARN MEDAL Award To Be Made Next Tuesday In Atlanta, Georgia. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 2.—The Spingarn Medal was awarded to W. E. B. DuBois for the most disting- uished service rendered to the Colo- red race during the year 1919 by a Colored American, to wit:—the founding and calling together on February 19, 20 and 21, 1919, in Paris France, of the First Pan-African Congress—and for his share in the drafting of the wise and statesman- like code of laws laid down by that Congress for the government as development of the Negroes of the earth. The Spingarn Medal Committee sees in this Congress a service to all the active world, Colored and white, and believes that it contains in it the germ of an organization which may be of incalculable value in the development of the new order of society The committee that awarded the medal was composed of Bishop John Hurst, chairman, ex-president Taft, Mr. John Hope, Dr. James Dillard and Mr. Oswald G. Villard. Prizes Awarded The Pupils of The Junior High School.

FILMORE AND THE NEGRO In a letter to Senator Reverdy Johnson, dated April 14, 1863, President Millard Fulmore expresses a profound apprehension that a drearful "race problem" was imminent. "What is to be done with the 4,000,000 of ignorant, helpless blacks?" he asked. "I suppose a large portion of them are wholly incapable of providing for themselves, and too indolent, without compulsion to make the effort. Are they to fill our poor houses as pauper or our penitentiaries as criminals?" All of which goes to show that, Mr. Fillmore was woefully ignorant of the African's character even as a slave. But aside from that fact his letter proves that he was almost criminally ignorant of the impelling economic forces which had been at work—in the person of the slave—making it possible for the American Experiment to get on its social and economic feet. It is true that a considerable number among us are too lazy to work; and it is also true that too many of us help to fill the penitentiaries. But the general charge that we are indolent and criminal is stated without a due regard for the very important economic, social and industrial parts we have played in the life of the Republic. Anyhow, we can consoise ourselves with the fact that ignorance knows no color and apparently has a rather deep rooted contempt for race. REDUCING THE H. C. L. It is a curious fact that when enterprising towns wish to secure new factories one of the inducements is exemption from taxation for a term of years. But now that they need more houses they appear to be afraid to offer the same inducement. If tax exemption will induce men to build factories in a community, will not the same cause produce a like effect in the case of houses? It is well not to be too hasty in running after new and untried schemes. But this proposal to exempt houses from taxation is neither new or untried. It has been proven many times in the past. Nothing is better established in human experience than the fact that taxing houses, food, and other labor products makes them dearer and limits consumption. That was the avowed purpose of the high license on saloons. But why should we adopt the same policy toward house building? Is there an overabundance of houses food or clothing? Why, then, tax them? Would it not be the part of wisdom to lay a heavy tax on vacant lots, which we do not need, and exempt the products of labor, which we do need? U. S. Officers Enforce American Democracy on Haitians. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE is asking the question, "Who it Otto Schoenrich of New York?" The query is prompted into utterance by a set of severe charges of gross mismanagement and cruelty against the representatives of the United States government in the Republic of Haiti and Santo Domingo. Mr. Schoenrich speaks from knowledge and wit, authority. He was for many years prominent in the official and business life of the two island republics and therefore he has been in close touch with the trend of affairs and with the character of the administration of American official at Fort Au Prince and at Santo Domingo. The TRIBUNE knows these facts. The "World's greatest" also knows the Mr. Schoenrich has been one of the big figures in the contemptible practices of exploitation that have ever characterized the presence of white men in the aforenamed republics. It is all history for him to read who may, and the "World's greatest" is one of the busiest of readers. The "World's greatest" is also aware of the fact that the Clyde Steamship company has dictated for a long number of years the selection of the men who should represent the United States' government even in the least minor positions. Mr. Schoenrich has stated the truth of the conditions as they now prevail in Haiti and the Dominican Republics. It does not matter that he, at one time, was also engaged in an "Exploitation which proved profitable to the individual foreigner engaged there" in business shady or otherwise. The truth is that American officers have carried their impudence and cruel impositions to the island and Mr. Schoenrich, smarting, probably, under a pre- MacQUEEN ANNOUNCES FOR SHERIFF.

CHICAGO, III., June 4.—The local branch of the Urban League entertained a distinguished group of citizens at a dinner at the Wabash Ave. Branch of the Y. M. C. A. Horace J. Bridges, the leader of Chicago's Ethical Society and Victor F. Lawson, the owner of the Chicago Daily: News were the guests of honor. Addresses were made by Dr. Bridges, Mr. Lawson and Dr. George C. Hall. Dr. Hall called attention to the practice of the Daily press in giving scare heads to all news of misdemeanors in which Negroes figured and complained that it was a forceful means for keeping alive race antagonism in the large cities. Mr. Lawson contributed $1,000 to the League's fund. T. Arnold Hill presided and gave out some interesting figures on the work the Urban League is doing among the Colored people in Chicago. HINT: TO TEACHERS WHO KNOW IT ALI Emancipator Believes Quite A Number of Teachers Have Urgent Need for Improvement. One of the greatest handicaps with which our schools and colleges have had to struggle in the past has been a shortage of thoroughly trained men and women in the teaching profession. However, the tide seems to be turning, and we find our leading institutions of learning straining every nerve in the effort to aid and encourage Colored teachers to still further increase their efficiency.

If only that news is published which is paid for, or if our "Men of the Month" are to be selected from those offering the most cash, then we are headed straight to the catastrophe of a veral, purchasable press. The best papers today refuse absolutely this form of bribery. But the public does not yet understand this, and it is necessary especially for the Negro press to emphasize these principles: 1. It is wrong for a periodical to print matter for which it is paid, except in the plainly indicated advertising sections. 2. It is wrong for a periodical to receive money as a gift for matter which it has already printed, except as advertisements. 3. It is wrong for a periodical to accept payment in advance for copies, on condition that certain contributed matter will appear. These are the principles of THE CRISIS, and any money sent us in contravention of these principles will be promptly returned. The matter which we print may not be the best and our judgment of men and measures may often be faulty, but the reader can at least know that no money consideration has influenced us. --- PAGE SEVEN Carpenter's Overalls Best Grade At $2.98 Blue Giant Brand Overalls Union Made $2.49
