Angry Duluth Mob Kills Three! A Fearies Exponent of. Right and justice. An Uncompromising Defender of the Colored . Race. We fear only to do wrong. VOLUME X Angry Police Fight Mob Off With Water Police Fight Mob Off With Water 5,000 IN DULUTH OVERRIDE POLICE Three Blacks Lynched; One Within Two Blocks of Police Station. THREE ARE ACQUITTED. Crowd Holds Court and Lets Two Go—Take Entire Possession of Bastile. TROOPS ARE CALLED OUT Two Companies Ordered to Entrain for City—White Girl Is Attacked. (By Associated Press.) DULUTH, Minn., June 15.—Three Negroes were lynched here tonight by a mob estimated at 5,000 persons, which overpowered the police and took possession of police headquarters and seized the Negroes, who were held in connection with an attack on a young white girl. Not a shot was fired in the attack on the police station, the members of the mob using bricks and other missiles and in the final stages of the light, streams of water from fire hose taken from the police themselves. A mock trial was held by the mob in the station and three Negroes were found guilty and three others also held in connection with the assault were acquitted, and turned back to the police. Shortly after midnight the mob still surrounded the police station, but gave no indication of further trouble. The police believed the mob would disperse without other disorder. It was reported that automobiles loaded with members of the mob, started at midnight toward Virginia, where it was said four other Negroes are held in connection with the case. The Negroes were roustabouts with a circus, and the attack on the 17-year-old white girl took place on the circus grounds last night. The circus was in Virginia today and it was said eight Negroes were taken into custody there, but only four held. One report was that the Virginia authorities and John Murphy, Duluth's chief of police, had started back to Duluth with these four suspects before the mob trouble had started. It was understood the party had been diverted to another city. The Negroes hanged were Isaac McGhie, Elmer Jackson and Nate Groen, all about 22 years old. They were lynched in the order named at 11:30 p. m., 11:38 p. m. and 11:45 p. m. respectively. All professed innocence. First indications the downtown district received of the trouble brewing came at 7 o'clock when trucks loaded with men dashed through the principal streets, the men calling for "volunteers to avenge the wrong done the white girl." There was ready response and it was estimated the mob numbered 5,000 when storming of the jail began about 8 o'clock. Police headquarters is just west of the city hall with a front entrance on Superior street. Duluth's main business thoroughfare, and a rear basement entrance on Michigan street. On both streets the mob gathered, surging toward both entrances. The police had made preparations to put up a fight with streams of water from fire hose. The first concerted attack was on the rear entrance. The mob took quick advantage of a pile of bricks nearby. Bricks were sent flying through windows and against the rear door, which finally gave in. This let the mob into the basement and as it started up the stairs to the first floor, strong spurts of water washed its members back. Bricks again were brought into THE TULSA STAR play and as the battle waged at the rear others of the mob obtained a section of house and started an assault on the front. Here, too, the police were prepared, and in the water duel which ensued, neither side had a marked advantage until the mob managed to cut the police hose. This caused a momentary retreat by the police, and the mob began battering down the front door. After entrance had been forced, the police offered no further resistance, realizing, they said, that attempts to use fire arms would turn the disturbance into a riot of more serious proportions and probably cause loss of life. Within the police station the mob faced two heavy steel doors, barring the way to the prisoner's cells. With a large timber, the steel doors were battered down after an hour's attack. It took only a few minutes to force open the cages and gain possession of the Negro suspects. On the second floor of the station a mock trial was held. The three Negroes declared guilty were taken to Second avenue east and First street about one and a half blocks away. McGhie was the first to feel the noose. He cried for mercy, declaring his innocence. Two Catholic priests called upon the crowd to let the law take its course but their please were unheeded. One priest, Father F. J. Howard, climbed 15 feet up an electric light pole and again pleaded with the mob. He was met by hoots and cries of "remember the girl—lynch them." Twice McGhie was jerked into the air to the shouts of the mob, and each time the rope broke. "God be with them, I am not the right man," was his last cry as the third trial he went to his death. Scott Ferris Files For Senator. (A. N. P. Service) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, June 16. —Congressman Scott Ferris, of Lawton, representing the Sixth District in the lower house of congress, who has been engaged in an active campaign for several months for the Democratic nomination for United States senator, filed his application for a place on the primary ballot with the state election board last week. Senator Gore is the only other Democrat who has filed Twelve Republicans, "Dynamite" Ed Perry, Coalgate; Sumner T. Bisbeen; Ernest E. Blake, Henry Powers and Charles L. McGuire, of Oklahoma City; Albert A. Small Tulsa; E. M. Clark, Pawnee; Cash Caoe Shawnee; Ben Thompson Sapulpa; Parren D. Lindsay, Hominy; James B. Cullison, Enid; N. D. Welty, Bartlesville, have filed for the G. O. P. senatorial nomination Considerable misunderstanding has arisen from some of the newspaper accounts of the filing, a few days ago M. L. Turner, of Oklahoma City, as an "Independent Democrat" candidate. Turner's name will not appear on the primary ballot and will in no sense affect the campaign between Ferris and Gore for the Democratic nomination at the August 3 election. Turner filed as a candidate subject to the regular election in November. The only question relative to the acceptance of his candidacy by the state election board is in the manner in which his name will appear on the November ballot. In his application to the election board he asks that the ballot read: "M. L. Turner, Independent Democrat." Secretary W C. McAlister, of the state election board, said he is of the opinion that this cannot be done and that Turner's name will have to go on the November ballot as an "Independent" candidate. It is probable that the election board will ask an opinion from the attorney general's department of this phase of the question. Turner was one of a number of candidates who contested in the statewide primary of 1907 for the nomination as United States senator on the Democratic ticket. Senator Owen lead the list. Judge Henry M. Weekly Mail Edition TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATLRDAY, NUMBER TWENTY-TWO Langston University where hundreds of teachers and students are attending Summer Normal. According to latest reports the school attendance this year has taxed the capacity of the institution to afford accommodation. The instructors this year are, N. J. Caesar, Shawnee; H. Graham, Luther; H. L. Hargrove, Boley; W. E. Day, Sapulpa; J. W. Hughes, Tulsa; J. H. Roberts, McAlester and Mrs. L. C. Clark, Muskogee. Furman was second and Gore was third. Because of a "gentlemen's agreement" to the effect that the east and west sides of the state should have a representative in the United States Senate Judge Furman, who with Senator Owen were east side candidates, although Furman received the second highest number of votes, withdrew his name and the short term election went to Gore. Louisiana House Rejects Suffrage. (Baton Rouge, La., June 16—The lower house of the Louisiana legislature, by a vote of 67 to 44, recently, rejected a resolution calling for ratification of the federal suffrage amendment. The senate last week defeated the ratification resolution. After the defeat of the Shattuck resolution providing for the ratification of the federal suffrage amendment, the house, by a vote of 60 to 39, adopted the Jordan resolution, which puts the house of representatives on record as opposed to federal suffrage. Prior to the vote on suffrage the house declined to hear Congressman Baker, of California, who wanted to speak in support of suffrage. Civil Service Is Not Only Avenue. (Star News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18.—One official here, Assistant Postmaster Haycock, believes that the civil service is not sufficiently tight enough as a Negro barrier, and expresses the opinion that there are already enough Colored clerks in the service. For this reason while many Colored civil service applicants of color have passed examinations successfully, none have been appointed for nearly a year. This has not served as any discouragement to the Race, however, as opening in various other fields of honorable and lucrative employment are becoming available every day in the North and East. Colored Schools Robbed in Maryland Too (Star News Service) BALTIMORE, Md., June 18.—In the town of Crisfield, Somerset County, of this State, while the enrollment of white educable children exceeds that of the Colored educable children by 1,200, the authorities have appropriated six times as much for the maintenance of the white schools than for the Colored. The budget, for instance, provides for $83,000 to pay salaries for the white teachers, and only $14,000 for $14 Colored. The salary of a white supervisor is fixed at $1,500 and that of the Colored at $750. This great disparity in salaries is characteristic of all the other salaries of the Colored employees, and this despite In The Public Eye Dr. Chas. B.

Downing, who erected a memorial window in the church dedicated to the late distinguished Confederate General, "Stonewall" Jackson. The window was designed to portray RACE WOMAN MAKING GOOD. Mrs. Ollie Thompson of the Hickory neighborhood is the typ of a woman that is requisite for successful Race building and progress. She is living with her husband on a truck and poultry farm and through the exercise of energy and practice of thrift have gathered for themselves a comfortable and pleasant home. Mrs. Thompson has made a study of the incubator and has become an expert in raising chickens by the wholesale. She recently hatched a batch of 250, and the chickens of last January are now frying size and represent dollars running around the chicken yard. Mrs. Thompson is also interested in the religious and educational affairs of the neighborhood and proves herself very useful. Her son recently graduated at Fort Smith, Ark., and she is planning a course of higher training for him at some university. Negro Preacher Revers "Stonewall" (Star News Service) ROANOAK, Va., June 18.—A mild sensation in the congregation of the Fifth avenue Presbyterian Church, (Colored), was recently created by the action of its pastor, Rev. L. L. Downing, who erected a memorial window in the church dedicated to the late distinguished Confederate General, "Stonewall" Jackson. The window was designed to portray Jackson's last words: "Let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees." The scene depicts a log cabin in one of the Shenandoah valleys with soldiers, and arms stacked, sweeping and praying. It appears that the Rev. Downing was prompted to this act from feelings of gratitude to the General who had taught Downing's sixtive parent, in a Colored Presbyterian church at Lexington, while he was serving as Professor at the Virginia Military Institute. It is said the General during his celebrated campaigns during the civil war always remembered to contribute for the support of the Colored Sabbath School of which he had been a teacher. Negro Gets Consideration (Hampton Press Service). WASHINGTON, D. C., June 17 A E.

Colorado Court Upholds Civil Rights Law (Denver News Service) DENVER, Colo., June 18—In January, 1918, Mr. Darius was refused servic in a bootblack stand, and brought suit against the proprietor. When brought to trial, the case was decided against Mr. Darius, the judge declaring that the business of shoe shining was not a public business and did come under the provisions of the state Civil Rights Act. Upon the advice of the National Office of the Association all of the Colored Branches of the Association united in raising funds and employing lawyers to take the caseto the State Supreme Court. When this was done the decision of the lower court was reversed. Apostolos applied for and was granted a rehearing on the constitutionality of the Civil Rights Act. When the case was retried a decision was rendered declaring that a boot black stnd was place of public accommodation and that Mr. Darius, could recover from the owner of the stnd who had discriminated against him. The decision is of great importance because of the effect it will have in other cases which may come up in the state courts in the future. WANTS TO DEBATE "HELL- FIRE" QUESTION Rev. F. F. Moten, well known soul winner and preacher, who arrived in Tulsa last week from Okmulggee, is anxious to meet Mr. Richard J. Hill and debate the question: "Is there a Hell of Fire and Brimstone." Rev. Moten is here for the purpose of conducting revival meetings at A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. Tucker is pastor. He has considerable experience in California, Missouri, Texas and other states and has achieved quite a reputation for his pulpit and vocal powers. Rev. Moten was at Hill-"Black Billy Sunday" debate, Friday night, and realizing that "Billy" made such a poor defense of the Bible, he wants to enter the ring with our Mr. Hill. The latter picks no favorites and is willing to meet anybody, anywhere, so he can expound the truth and the light as he sees it. This debate will be of interest if it can be arranged to get both of them at the Bible Students Hall on East Archer. NOTICE-A CORRECTION.

Nominates Harding And Coolidge COLORED DELEGATES OCCUPIED CENTER OF STATE Charley Cottrill, the Original Harding Man Looms Up Conspicuously. Chicago Hospitality Was Unlimited and Gerrous to a Fault. (A. N. P. Services) CHICAGO, Ill., June 17.—"Harding and Coolidge!" It took ten ballots to get it but, "It's a good ticket" comes the word from all complexions of Republicans. But the battle? Well, it was a hot one while it lasted. It began in a blaze of oratory WARREN G. HARDING CUNEIDINST and prolonged cheering and it ended amid teniveness of a struggle quite unlike the history of Republican National Conventions. The tenth ballot had begun. In the far corner of the delegate section a tired husky-voiced delegate broke the back of the stifling silence with Gov. Frank Willis' striking appeal for the Ohio Senator: "Say Boys and Girls, let's pick Harding." The effect was magical. State after State took the cue and when the smoke of the charge had lifted 674 7 10 votes had been cast for Warren G Harding and the fight for the nomination had ended. It took one ballot to "pick" Gov. Calvin Coolidge for the vice-presidential nomination. Some Convention Echoes. The fight was a bitter one and for a time seemed to threaten the very existence of the party. During the contests the feeling ran high. In its wider ranges it was Wood versus Lowden with Hiram Johnson near enought to cast the shadow of a "split" on the scene. It was a hot kettle of fish. A shifting, shuffling uneasiness afflicted the National Committee and it was Wood, Lowden, Lowden, Wood, until every body was worn down to a literal frazzle. Governor Lowden in the end, however, received a shade in the decisions. This result made the Colored men maddder than a score of wet hens. Colored delegates pledged to the Illinois man came in tor an overdose of vigorous lambasting and a not over-gentle ad- CALVIN COOLIDGE BETTERMAN & WEBSTER ministration of an insistence that they "must remember East St. Louis" The pressure of this direction was strong enough to cause a wavering among the southern delegations. General Wood, of course, was the beneficiary and during the first five ballotings it enabled him to maintain a reasonably comfortable lead. Then the Lowden influence headed by the Chicago Tribune, started a "nigger demination" wail which precipitated the deadlock that ended in the nomination of Senator Harding. Race Plank Conservative. Safely conservative is what the prominent Colored men in the party call the protest against lynching and disfranchisement embodied in the platform. Its conservatism, however, is offset by an espousal of the principles of an unadulterated Americanism which they declare paves the way for an early realization of the race's aspiration to be accorded equal rights to opportunity and untrammelled citizenship. Lincoln Johnson's Big Victory. Henry Lincoln Johnson won a big and notable victory. He seated his delegation and afterwards was elected National Committeeman from his state, Georgia. For a brief while there were dark rumors floating about to the effect that Henry Lincoln had sold out the Race in an overwhelming desire to get a delegate seat in the convention. It was afterwards revealed that the "delegate seat" was an essential phase of the Johnson plan of strategy to land the national committeship. When this fact was discovered—and it was not discovered until the redoubtable Lincoln had the bacon safely lodged in his political bag—he at once bounded back into the limelight as the "best that ever came down the pike," with the brethren. Charles Cottrill Looms. Indications now point to Charles Cottrill as the Colored man nearest to the throne. He is an "original" Harding man. He pinned his faith to the man from Marion at the very outset of the pre-convention campaign and stuck until his chief was crowned the victor and hailed as the leader of the party. Cottrill is popular in Ohio and is favorably known outside his state as an orator of commanding ability and an all-around and well informed man of affairs. Delegates Praise Chicago. Delegates Prairie Chicago. The delegates now hail Chicago as the ideal convention city, and without hesitation name its enterprise Colored citizens as the "greatest evers." "Colored Chicago" was "Wood" to the core but it did not fail to open its doors and give unstinted hospitality to the visiting delegates no matter what were their affiliations. The Appamattox Club led in the round of entertainments and was closely followed by the Leonard Wood Leagau which had its headquarters near to the Associated Negro Press at the celebrated Vincennes Hotel. Colored Men Will Support Ticket. The Colored leaders left Chicago agreeing that the Colored vote will be found supporting the ticket. Chas Cotttrill, Emmett J. Scott, William H. Lewis, Charles W. Anderson, Col. Franklin A. Dennis, William McDonald, Walter Cohen, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Chris Perry, Dr. J. A, R. Crossland, William C. H. Ueston, Charles Calloway, Nelspn W. Crews, Erbert Lyons and other influential Colored men express the conviction that the "bolt" shadow that hovered over the situation as long as the nomination of Governor Lowden seemed a probability, has fully disappeared. PRESIDENT PETTUS IS- SUES IMPORTANT NOTICE Thanks to Superinterident Wilson and Ruling of Attorney General Funds for Negro Education Are Increased. To the Patrons, Friends and Teachers of Negro Schools of Oklahoma, Greetings: We have won our first battle for the improvement of the facilities for Negro schools in this state. Through considerable agitation, quiet and otherwise, the president of the Oklahoma Negro State Teachers' Association, has secured the co-operation of State Superintendent Wilson, a ruling from Attorney General's office which places the notorious one mill law into the discard. The only legal limit that now exists for levying funds for the maintenance and improvement of Negro schools and the payment of adequate salaries to Negro teachers is that which provides that the total tax levy of the counties shall not exceed ten mills for all purposes. What the Negro schools shall be henceforth, what salaries Negro teachers shall receive, depend largely upon the interest you take in these matters. What are you going to do? Yours very Truly, J. WILSON PETTUS, President. JAMES L. FORE IS DEAD Prominent Oklahomaan Politician Passes Away in Washington. (Star News Service) MUSKOGEE, Okla., June 17.—James L.

June 17. —The state corporation commission has denied the application of the Oklahoma Natural Gas Company through which it sought to have the "rebate order" of November 13, last set aside. The commission had ordered that the company rebate to consumers of natural gas, for domestic purposes, when it was shown that the pressure was inaqueate. The order set up a schedule of pressure upon which the rebates were to be given on a sliding scale. The gas company refused to make any deductions and the commission advised consumers to refuse to pay bills, directing that the company would not be permitted to deny service to any consumer who had failed to pay a bill for this reason.

June 19. 1920 WORLD IS ENDED AND WORLD IS ENDED AND MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE I have been informed that a few Pastors of the local churches have busied 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 ignorant, pin-head fellows posing as ministers 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 one 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 gos 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." Frinds come and hear for yourself the only consoling message during these times of great perplexity. It costs you nothing but your time. Seats are free and no collections. RICHARD J. HULL For many centuries sickness, sorrow, suffering and death have afflicted the human race. But there has been just enough joy mixed with the sorrows of life to create a longing desire for life everlasting. And if that life everlasting could be accompanied by perfection the happiness of man would be complete. Recognizing Jehovah as the great First cause, whose attributes are Wisdom, Justice, Love and Power, and who is the creator of man, it seems entirely reasonable that having permitted man to so long desire the blessings of Life everlasting, His wisdom and love would lead him to make provision for the gratification of that desire. Reason or theorizing alone could not lead us to a satisfactory conclusion, nor has man been left to rely merely upon these. Jehovah has graciously provided a record, written by wholly men of old and by his inspired witnesses, which record discloses that God has a great plan which he caused to develop in an orderly and majestic manner. In this record, the Bible, we find the testimony concerning man's origin, his course, the reason for his sickness, sorrow, suffering and death, and what the future holds for him. 8.

HILL NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC The Bible has never been wholly and completely understood, but according to the standard stated there in the light has shown brighter and brighter as the centuries have progressed, and the promise is made that far greater light would be shed upon its pages in the close of the Age. When the Prophet Daniel recorded a brief history of the world long before these events transpired, Jehovah told him to close up the prophecy and seal the words, so that they could not be understood, until the time of the end. The inference must be reached that when that "Time of the end" occurs the Bible would be better understood. If in this hour of great distress upon human kind we can find a consoling message that will bind up the broken hearted and comfort those that mourn, then with gladness we should embrace this message and be eager to transmit it to others, that they too may rejoice. This lecture is being given for the purpose of showing that the time is here to understand the Bible; that we are in "The time of the end"; that the old order is perishing from the earth; that the new is coming in; that restitution blessings will soon be offered to the world and then men who obey the righteous laws of Jehovah will never die. In the examination of this subject we must apply the prophetic evidences in the place where they belong. The scriptures admonish us; "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of Truth." (2 Tim. 2: 15). The Scriptures that applied at one stage of the world's history may have no application now, and vice versa. Such was recognized by the New Testament writers, and particularly by the Lord Jesus, himself For nearly nineteen centuries students of Divine prophecy have expected and looked for the world to end, because Jesus taught it would end. Many christian men, however, failing to recognize the distinction between the symbolic and literal phrases of the Bible, have been confused concerning the end of the world. For instance, the great John Calvin taught that upon the happening of that event, Jesus, reappearing near the earth, would cause fire to be emitted from the clouds, setting the earth afame and totally destroying it and everything on it. Being a preacher of great renown, it was supposed that he based his conclusions upon a proper interpretation of the Bible, and great numbers believed his teachings for this reason, with fear and trepidation, many have looked forward to the ending of the world. Reason would lead us to the conclusion that Jehovah would not create a wonderful earth like this, permit man to bring it to a high state of cultivation in many places, and then completely destroy it. Such is wholly out of harmony with his character. Likewise such is wholly out of harmony with the plain teachings of his word, which says: "The earth abideth forever." (Eccle, 1: 4). "For thus saith the Lord that created the Heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited." (Isa, 45: 18). When the Bible speaks of the world ending it does not mean the literal earth, but it does refer to an epoch or Dispensation of time during which a certain arrangement of things or social order exists. In proof of this the scripture disclose that there was a "world" which existed from the time of Eden until the great Deluge: "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, [perished." (2 Peter 3: 6). At the end of the flood a new world began, and the promise is made by the same scriptural writer that it shall end. The period of that world is from the flood until the coming of Messiah's Kingdom, and his Kingdom would mark the beginning of another new world or new order of things. There are several distinct periods of time mentioned in the scriptures which have their culmination particularly at the same time. Among these are "The times of the Gentiles" and "The end of the world." PAGE THREE The scriptures disclose that the Gentile times span a period of 2520 years. They had their beginning with the overthrow of Zedekiah, the last King of Israel, in the autumn of 606 B. C. at the time Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon established the first Universal Empire in the earth. This period of 2520 years, then, necessarily ended in the autumn of 1914 A. D. Referring to this period of time, the Great Master, through the Revelator, said: "The nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, (Rey, 11: 18). This prophecy was fulfilled exactly on time. We now submit the testimony of Jesus of Nazareth. Everyone who believes that he is the Son of God, and that he spoke with authority, must believe, in the light of the events that are daily transpiring, that the old world has ended. Jesus had been teaching his disciples that the world would end, and that he would come again and that his kingdom should supplant the old, unrighteous order. Five days before his crucifixion, his disciples approached him as he sat on the Mount of Olives and propounded this question: "Tell us when will this happen? What will be the sign (proof) of your arrival, and of the end of the world?" It was not God's purpose that the dicibles should at that time clearly understand the answer that the Master gave. His answer was couched in such prophetic phrases that it could be understood clearly by no student of the Bible, until the events transpired. His answer, in the light of present events, however, is now manifest. He showed that the end of the world would be marked with great trouble and disturbances in the earth. His answers are set for in the 24th chapter of Matt, and the 21st chapter of Luke. Among the answers given by him are the following: "Nations shall rise against nations, and kingdoms against kingdoms, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrow." Mat. 24: 7, 8. Chronologically, the old world ended in the autumn season of 1914, and exactly on time nation rose against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there followed the greatest war of all history. Twenty-nine nations were involved in that war, including by far the greater part of the earth's population. The nations that were involved are particularly designated among mankind as Christian nations. True to the prophetic utterances, this was the beginning of sorrow, marking the end of the world. Closely, followed a further fulfillment of this prophetic answer; namely, famine. Notwithstanding the fertile condition of the earth, and the wonderful means of production, the conditions accompanying the war made it necessary to establish in nearly every country a food administrator. That the people have been in a condition of famine for the past three years no one would attempt to gainsay. From Armenia comes the cry to day of threatened starvation; a similar cry from Russia; from Germany; from Austria; from the Balkans; in fact from nearly all parts of the earth. It is to be expected that this condition of food shortage will grow worse. Following upon the heels of the war and the food shortage, came the greatest pestilence that has afflicted mankind. In four years the war victims numbered approximately 9,000,000. In less than one year the victims of the dread influenza excede 12,000,000. Scientists warn against a recurrence of the pestilence because the lack of food, causing lack of nourishment amongst the people. lays their system open to the attack of disease germs. Throughout the scriptures the word earthquake used in a symbolic sense means revolution. Here then we have another fulfillment of the prophetic answer of Jesus. With the fall of aristocracy in Russia, came a great revolution. With the fall of Plutocracy in Germany, a revolution occurred there. The public press almost daily reports conditions prevailing throughout Europe bordering on revolution, while every day the news columns are filled with reports of a disturbed condition among labor in America and throughout the world. In further answer to the question propounded by the dicipies concerning the end of the world, Jesus said: "Then there will be 'Upon the earth distress of fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth.'" There could be no doubt of the fulfillment of this scriptural statement in the very hour through which we are now passing. In his address to Congress since these days of disturbance have begun, President Wilson said: "These are days of great perplexity, when a great cloud hangs over the greater part of the world. It seems as if great blind material forces have been released which have for long been held in restraint." Government officials are in per- (Continued on Page 6). NOTICE Look! Look! and Listen!

He was also editor of Liberia and West Africa, a publication devoted to the religious life of Liberia.

F. Wilson, Democrat, of Coalgate, for corporation commissioner, brought two unique characters into the primary fight. Perry was one of the best known territorial G. O. P. leaders and Wilson was barely headed by John A. Whitehurst in the 1918 primary campaign for president of the state board of agriculture. Wilson did not spend a cent in his campaign and the similarity of his name with that of R. H. Wilson, state superintendent of schools, was believed to have brought him thousands of votes. Wilson is a Seventh Day Adventist preacher who has never been importantly identified with the Democratic party. J. B. Simpson, publisher of the Calera News, also filed as a Democratic candidate for corporation commissioner. In addition, R. E. Echols, of Elk City, member of the Commission, Oscar R. Thraves and Warren P. Gill, Democrats, have also filed. There are four Republicans in this contest: Amos Ewing, Guthrie; C. W. Ludwick, Ft. Coob; E. R. Hughes, Oklahoma City and Ed Ambler, Chandler, S. C. Thompson, Roll, Socialist, also has filed. Four Democrats, Roy E. Stafford, formerly editor of the Oklahomaan, and William M. Franklin, of Oklahoma City; F. B. Swank, of Norman and C. D. Webstern a farmer who lives near Moore, and Republi-cans, J. W. Harreld, present incumbent, and Edward E.

One of the most conclusive proofs given in the answer of Jesus is that concerning the Jewish people. God organized the Jews into a nation and dealt with them exclusively more than 18 centuries. The time came when, because of the Jews unfaithfulness, that nation was destroyed, and Jesus said; "They shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:24.) The Jews are setting up a government in Palestine. As additional evidence in answer to the question, Jesus said: "The Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then the end shall come." This has been fulfilled. The message of the Kingdom, translated into every known tongue and language, has been carried to the four corners of the earth. This has not been for the purpose of converting the world, but, according to the testimony of Jesus, has been "a witness," that some of the world might know about it. Further answering his disciples, Jasus declared that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the end of the world. "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the Ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away." And we find it exactly so in the time in which we are now living. Very few, comparatively speaking, of the people of the earth really stop to consider what is the meaning of the present disturbed conditions of society. They continue with their business and social affairs as usual, giving little or no heed to the scriptural testimonies and the fulfillment of prophetic utterances.

While Noah preached, the people scoffed and mocked him. At the present time of distress, when the people are greatly in need of comfort, the preachers as a class not only fail to tell the people the meaning of this terrible trouble, but they treat the subject with contempt and scoff at anyone who claims that the world has ended. Addressing himself to the diclips in parabolic phrase, Jesus likened his true followers, true Christians, to wheat, and the false, or merely nominal Christians, to tares. He said the two would grow together in the same denomination until the time of the harvest, and then there would be a separation. He plainly said: "The harvest is the end of the world." A clear fulfillment of this prophetic evidence is found in present day events when Christian people, without regard to denomination or creed, are forsaking the old system and coming together to worship God in spirit and in truth, studying the Bible for the purpose of illuminating their minds and doing good for their fellow men. We have not attempted to produce all the evidence at our command to prove that the world has ended but we are satisfied to rest our case upon the prophetic testimony of our Lord Jesus Christ, Semming up the circumstantial evidence as obtained from the Lord when asked to tell what shall be the proof of the end of the world, we find true to our Lord's statement in (1914) the nations were angry; nations are against nations, famine is threatening the whole world, pestilence is raging and smiting down humanity from right to left and especially veneral diseases which is said to be more destructive than war and is smiting all grades of society of both sex and of all ages. Earthquakes (revolution) are rumbling and are being heard on every hand; the Jews have returned to Jerusalem; the Gospel has been preached to every nation; as it was in Noah's day; the people are heedless and are the warning that the world has ended; the sun (the true Gospel of Christ's Kingdom) is darkened; the moon (true significance of the law covenant) is not giving her light; the stars (the preachers) have fallen from their spiritual position of teaching the truth; the powers of Heaven (the false ecclesiastical systems) are being shaken and distressed with perplexity is upon the whole earth and men's hearts are failing every We are Swamped and call to You for Help Our $150,000 Stock Must Go Quick Thousand of Dollars Worth of Luggage Contracted for Months Ago for Our Two Stores Is Arriving Daily and Must Be Sold.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., June 16.—With every indication of crowning success following unfaltering preparation, the Fifteenth Annual Session of the Sunday School Congress opened here this morning, with the largest attendance for many years. When the Sunday School Special train arrived there were upwards of five thousand at the station to greet the officials. The band began playing "Hall to the Baptist Congress." A chorus of two hundred voices caught the strains which were finally passed on until everybody was singing. Enthusiasm was rampart, and Springfield is now in the hands of the Sunday School workers throughout the United States. The local committee has made every possible preparation. The Committee on Homes has succeeded in getting Springfield's leading families and best citizens to throw their homes open, and from Wednesday until next Monday, June 21, the capital city of Illinois will be in the hands of the Sunday School workers. When the delegation left the station, they formed a parade, marching on several streets and around the State Capitol to the Springfield High School, the most commodious building in the city where all sessions are to be held. This building has a magnificent auditorium that will seat upwards of two thousand people. There are musical souvenir programs to be used throughout the week, and every worker is to have Complete Line. TRUNK FACTORY EALERS 105 South Main Street Dear friends, not for the purpose of exciting you, but for the purpose of giving you timely warning as it is the duty of every true servant of the Lord, I wish to say that a very dark night is just a few steps ahead of us. If, as we are confident, the present world or order of things has ended there is much yet for us to experience.—A day of darkness and gloomliness, let all the inhabitants of the earth tremble for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible and who can abide? Joel 2: 2-11. "I will bring distress upon men because they have sinned against the Lord." Zeph. 1: 14-18; "Go to now ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you." James 5: 1-6! "Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in that day of the rath of the Lord." Ezek. 7: 17-19; "Then there shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world." Mat. 24: 21. (To be Continued Next Week.) Building Up Rural Life. (Hampton News Service). RICHMOND, Va., June 18.—Jackson Davis, Field Agent of the General Education Board, spoke on "Building Up a Rural Civilization." He said: "Men in the country must be taught, not only how to make a living, but how to use their minds and their hands. They must be taught how to develop a community spirit. People in the country have not had their full share of our civilization—and they are realizing it. Farmers would produce more goods if they felt they could dispose of these goods to an advantage. We must educate people so as to make life in the country satisfying. No work in education is more promising than the development of the country training school work, and the vocational work which is being done in them is very important." Among the topics for discussion were: "The Use of Fairs for Exhibiting Project Work"; "Equipment for Vocational and Teacher-training Classrooms"; "The Improvement of Teachers in Service"; "Topical Arrangement of Subject Matter with Reference to Seasonal Sequence"; "The Use of Stereooption Lectures"; "Making Teacher-trainer Reports"; "Relation of Vocational Agriculture Teachers to other Officials"; "Practice-teaching for Teacher-trainer Groups"; "The Use of School Grounds as a Labora- T Sensation No. 1 Genuine fiber suitcases; extra well made While they last $4.00 Sensation No. 2 Genuine black karatol bags; $7.50 values, at Sensation No. 3 Extra well made black bags with heavy straps good Du Pont Fabrico; will last almost as long as a solid leather bag.

THE NEW YORKER 1 Let us protect your furs and winter clothing this summer in our moth and germ proof storage valuts. The cost is very trivial and the saving in clothing very great. Assuredly the weight and mode of summer clothing has much to do with one's comfort during the hot summer months—but of more than generally recognized importance is the care of the clothing to keep physically fit. Hot weather is the perfect breeding season for all manner of germs and insects injurious to health as well as clothing. The usual excessive heat, sapping at man's vitality, renders him more susceptible to those germs which prey upon the human body. Soiled clothing, hot and sticky with perspiration easily forms accumulations of these germs and nourish them on to greater quantities. Continual wear of these garments retain the germs in close contact with the body so their attack may be more vulnerable. Only proper care of the clothing during this season will protect your health from their ravages. And in this service we are better than ever prepared to protect the health of Tulsa. Our method of clothes service is more than cleaning—it means absolute renovation of the clothing and extermination of every germ. Then, too, you will find in their refreshened appearance a goodly amount of comfort.

The State teacher-trainers expressed their faith in Tuskegee institute, "which has made possible for many agriculturists the larger experience which they now possess." They also expressed to Federal and State officials, "who are helping in every possible way to encourage agriculture among Colored people," the increasing interest among Colored people for agricultural matters. They pointed with pride to the increasing land holdings of Colored people, who now own, control and operate 24,000,000 acres of land—an acreage equal to the State of South Carolina. They declared that in many vocational schools there are not enough instructors to give vocational agriculture to all the students who wish it. They expressed their hearty thanks to the Regional Director, H. O. Sargent, for his "faithful service, unselfish devotion timely instruction, friendly advice, and deep personal interest." They added: "We feel that Mr. Sargent's long experience and thorough understanding of the principles and methods involved in this form of agricultural instruction fit him pre-eminently for leadership in this great forward movement." Smith-Hughes Training. TUSKEGEE, Ala., June 16.-H. O. Sargent, Washington, D. C., Federal Agent for Agricultural Education in the Southern Region, recently held a one-week course of instruction for Colored teacher-trainers, of ten Southern states, who work under the Smith-Hughes Act. The aims of the course, according to Director Sargent, were "to emphasize the importance of getting more students to take vocational agriculture and to help the men who are engaged in teacher-training work to organize, along the best possible lines, work in the field." STATE HOUSE BRIEFS Governor Robertson delivered the annual address to the United Confederate Veterans of Oklahoma at their reunion in Ardmore last week. Justice Frank M.

The condition on June 1 was 83 as compared with 96 a year ago. Last year's yield was a trifle above fifty-two and a half million. R. E. Echols, member of the state corporation commission has been advised that his efforts to secure sufficient cars for the moving of the 1920 small grain crop promise to meet a large measure of success. Railway officials are promising to exert every effort to furnish cars as soon as harvest begins.

The cotton men, although admitting that the weather thus far has been unfavorable, were a unit in the opinion that Oklahoma will, if ordinarily favorable conditoins maintain for the rest of the season, have an excellent 1920 crop. They are discussing problems of marketing and storage and, like the small grain producers, fear that the shortage of railway equipment will give them serious trouble when the crop is ready for the market.

WELCOME PYTHIAN KNIGHTS THE COMING TO TULSA next month of the lodge and interstate Encampment of the Uniform Detective drills for prizes aggregating some $700.00 will no Tulsa than any scheduled event for the year and will only encouraged by the business men of this city. 1,000 visitors will attend the Grand Lodge, many of Kansas, Texas, Kansas and Missouri and it is conscientate that they will spend during their three days the least $5.00 per capita or $15.00 each for the three total of $15,000.00. Besides, each visitor will be a lodge for our Majic City when they return to their villa. Surely this is worth bidding for, and it is our business men will leave nothing undone to make a decision to receive and entertain these visitors. Dr. Wich had faithfully to bring this big event to our city, and being overtime to make it a big success. What man can tail to appreciate his untiring efforts in our behalf? Tulsa must not be associated even remotely with a fax. Let us stand at attention to welcome the gallant month. EVERY MAN has an ideal, which like the in higher ambitions, is usually wrapped up in some wives or his intended wife. Every man at sometime looks for his bride to be as the embodiment of all perfection, or rather in some cases, this hallucination goes through in other cases the delusion is discovered and the unillusioned fellow realizes that, after all, his wife, or is but a mere woman, not near so much unlike the sex as he had painted her in his dreams. As a rule, such fellows after losing their self-mastery lose all their best and higher ambition and free addicted to drinking or the use of drugs in an effort forever from their minds, imaginary pictures of them in this way many good and otherwise useful menoral degenerates and therefore dangerous enemy. They thus become victims of their own imaginative nevertheless. Now which of the two are responsible for their self-made ideal? In either case it would be well for all of us to build our ideals—if we build any at all—from more rather than from material imaginary. THE DEBATE ON "HELL-FIRE" between the J. Hill and "Black Billy" Sunday at the Convention was plainly a one sided affair, from a standpoint with the points decidedly in favor of Mr. Hill. "We be discussed at length in our next issue. "THE NEXT PRESIDENT will be nominated as in the person of Senator Cox of Ohio," says one well known political prophets, and we are almost with him. IT IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT that the largest position among our group in Tulsa is democratic, boastful members, and they all are democratic to the manor. IF DANTE HAD VISITED TULSA before her description of Hell, he probably could have better deal inhabitants of the Plutorial Regions. "TRAPS" are made for fools but sometime for men. While we do not claim to be "wise" in all the "traps" when we see them. WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT just men get an old saying which has been revived since the rejection in Chicago. ALL EYES are now turned to San Francisco, of action in the political arena. THE COMING TO TULSA next month of the K. of P. Grand Lodge and interstate Encampment of the Uniform Rank for competitive drills for prizes aggregating some $700.00 will mean more to Tulsa than any scheduled event for the year and should be heartily encouraged by the business men of this city. Not less than 3,000 visitors will attend the Grand Lodge, many of them from Arkansas, Texas, Kansas and Missouri and it is conservative to estimate that they will spend during their three days they are here, at least $5.00 per capita or $15.00 each for the three days, making a total of $15,000.00. Besides, each visitor will be a living advertisement for our Majic City when they return to their various homes. Surely this is worth bidding for, and it is our guess that our business men will leave nothing undone to make ample preparation to receive and entertain these visitors. Dr. Wiekham has worked faithfully to bring this big event to our city, and is still working overtime to make it a big success. What man among us can fail to appreciate his untiring efforts in our behalf? Surely not one. Tulsa must not be associated even remotely with a failure. Let us stand at attention to welcome the gallant Knights next month. EVERY MAN has an ideal, which like the incentive for his higher ambitions, is usually wrapped up in some woman—his wife or his intended wife. Every man at sometime looks upon his wife or his bride to be as the embodiment of all perfection. Some times, or rather in some cases, this hallucination goes through a lifetime. In other cases the delusion is discovered and the unfortunate self-illusioned fellow realizes that, after all, his wife, or his sweatheart, is but a mere woman, not near so much unlike the majority of her sex as he had painted her in his dreams. As a rule, such fellows after losing their self-made ideal, usually lose all their best and higher ambition and frequently become addicted to drinking or the use of drugs in an effort to shut out forever from their minds, imaginary pictures of their lost ideal. In this way many good and otherwise useful men have become moral degenerates and therefore dangerous enemies to society. They thus become victims of their own imagination, but victims nevertheless. Now which of the two are responsible, the man or his self-made ideal! In either case it would be well for all of us idealistic fellows to build our ideals—if we build any at all—from material at hand rather than from material imaginary. THE DEBATE ON "HELL-FIRE" between the Hon. Richard J. Hill and "Black Billy" Sunday at the Convention Hall last night was plainly a one sided affair, from a standpoint of intelligence, with the points decidedly in favor of Mr. Hill. The debate will be discussed at length in our next issue. "THE NEXT PRESIDENT will be nominated at San Francisco in the person of Senator Cox of Ohio," says one of the nation's well known political prophets, and we are almost ready to agree with him. IT IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT that the largest political organization among our group in Tulsa is democratic, boasting of some 350 members, and they all are democratic to the manor born. IF DANTE HAD VISITED TULSA before he wrote his Description of Hell, he probably could have better described the inhabitants of the Plutorial Regions. "TRAPS" are made for fools but sometime they catch wise men. While we do not claim to be "wise" in all things, we know "traps" when we see them. "WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT just men get their dues" is an old saying which has been revived since the republican convention in Chicago. ALL EYES are now turned to San Francisco, the next scene of action in the political arena. MRS. BELL P. WILLIS, Mid Wife A Special treatment for Female Diseases. I do no hours.
