DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES TAKE WELL AMONG COLORED PEO- OF THE FAR WEST.
Leading Republicans Express Satisfaction With Head of Democratic Ticket.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 7.—The nomination here this week of Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio and Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York as the Standard bearers of the democratic party has awakened a new interest among members of our group in the democratic party. Before the nomination many had predicted that the South and the administration had joined hands and that the nominee of the democratic pearty would be a man of southern birth, customs or sympathies, and evidently accepting this as true many of the leading Colored democrats of the west had expressed themselves as favorable to the republican nominee.
But there was a different song when it was announced that Gov. Cox of Ohio had been nominated. The Colored democrats were loud in singing praise of the Ohio man and when later on Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for vice president there was a wave of enthusiasm among members of our group that swept the city and state.
Some of the leading Colored republicans here freely admit that the nomination of Cox and Roosevelt on the democratic ticket will materially affect the Colored vote of this state this fall.
AGAINST CLASS HATRED
DAYTON, OHIO, July8.—In his first public address after his nomination in Middletown last night, Governor Cox declared in commenting upon the industrial unrest in the world that "any attempt to exploit class hatred is equally as dangerous as the bolsheviki in Europe."
He declared the "Golden rule works much better that the bullet or the bayonet and that in all industrial disputes there is a middle ground which must be followed in order that justice be done to all.
"Those in public places must guard the freedom of the many from the exploits of the few," he said.
Governor Cox said that during his six years as governor of Ohio there had not been a shot fired by a man in uniform in any of the industrial disputes.
"If I should become president of the nation," Governor Cox said, "I feel that I possess one equipment which I would not give for any other that I lived through the life of the under man and I now feel I am the representative of that class."

Muskogee Race Leaders File Complete County Ticket For Primary.
(Special to Tulsa Star)
MUSKOGEE, Okla., July 8.—Seeking revenge for the "lily white" tactics of Muskogee republicans in the recent state and district conventions, the Colored citizens have filed a complete black republican county ticket in opposition to the white republican ticket.
Twenty minutes after County Chairman Myron White filed the white republican candidates for county office yesterday, W. H. Twine, one of those who sought to wrest from the white delegates their seats in the national G. O. P. convention, took out blanks enough to file a candidate for each office.

"We're going to show the personal friend of Mr. Harding that he can't squeeze out the Negroes as he and his gang have tried to do and get by with it," Twine said as he asked Arch Sheets, secretary of the county election board, for

the filing blanks.
The Negro ticke* complete, was filed with the secretary shortly before midnight.
The five who filed for county offices last night to contest in the republican primary are:
James R. Blaine, for superintendent of county schools; J. H. Patrick, for sheriff; P. B. J. Hudson, for county commissioner in the west side district; Edward B. Lewis, for court clerk, and R. W. Washington for county assessor.
FIRE DESTROYS HALF
BLOCK IN BEGGS
Incendiary Bugs Start Flames In Colored .District—Seven Buildings Burned.
BEGGS, Okla., July 7.—A fire which had its origin in the Colored business district here about 1:30, Tuesday morning completely destroyed four frame buildings occupied by Colored people and lapping over into the white business section destroyed three buildings.
It has not been learned the direct cause of the fire, but it is believed it was of an incendiary origin. The flames started in a restaurant which had been closed several hours and since the fuel used here is gas, it is not likely that carelessness or neglect on the part of anyone thus was the cause.
It is believed by the Colored people here that an attempt was made by the whites to burn them out.
Grounds for this belief was found when it was learned that the city water supply had been cut off. Little effort was made to check the fire until it had reached the white district. It was necessary to call help from Okmulgee and Sapulpa to get the flames under control. The loss will probably reach $60,000.

Villa Will Be Good On Condition
Reaches Agreement to Retire to Private Life Once Again.
(Star News Service)
SAN ANTIONO, Tex., July 7.—Francisco Villa, Mexican bandit, is reported to have reached an agreement with Elias L. Torres, representing the De La Huerta government and will immediately disband his insurreto army and retire to private life, according to confirmed reports received in Mexican quarters today. The conference was held about 60 kilometers from Chihuahua City and Torres has left for Mexico City to make an official report on the outcome of the pow pow.
Although the reports were confirmed here today, Mexican consul Beltran had not received any official communication of the armistice but said that he was in receipt of private advices which indicate that the agreement had been reached.
Texas Adds 2 More to Lynching List
Accused of Killing Landlord and Son—Sheriff Reported Saying One of Them Not "The Right Man"—Others May Also Not Have Been Guilty of Crime.
IDABEL, Okla., July 6.—J. W. Dewitt, sheriff of McCurtain county, Oklahoma, tonight quoted Sheriff C. D. Clarkson, of Paris, Texas, as declaring one of the two Negroes lynched at Paris was "not the right one," and that he was doubtful whether, the "other was the right party."
The Paris Sheriff went on into Arkansas on the trail of the two Negroes he believes killed the Texas former and his son, Sheriff Dewitt stated.
PARIS, Texas, July 6.—Irving and Herman Arthur, Colored, aged 19 and 28 years, brothers, who are said to have last Friday shot and killed their landlord, J. H. Hodges, and his sign, William Hodges, on the latter's place northeast of Paris, Texas, were burned at a stake on the fair grounds here tonight about 8 o'clock, having been taken from a jail by a mob at 7:30.
The men were captured by Lamar (Texas) county officers and posse last night at Valliant, Oklahoma, and were brought here and placed in jail this afternoon. It was thought that there would be no trouble, but later in the day a crowd gathered, quickly increased and finally stormed the jail, on the top floor of the court house, breaking down the iron outer door, and took the Negroes.
There was no disorder except the yelling of the crowd as the Negroes were brought out. The prisoners were taken directly to the fair grounds north of the city, where a stake and fuel had been prepared, and were burned. The affair was over by 9 o'clock.
The killing of Hodges and his son is said to have resulted in a dispute over money claimed by the farmer to be owed him by his Colored tenants.
Following receipt of word from Idabell, Okla. that Sheriff C. D. Clarkson of Paris had been quoted as expressing doubt that the two Colored men who were burned were the ones who killed Hodges and his son, County Attorney Robert E. Eubanks stated that the Negroes while in jail here made circumstantial statements to him in which they admitted the killing.

Oscar Waters Attended National Democratic Convention and Served as "Doorkeeper For the New York Delegation.
(Special to Tulsa Star)
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 8.—The great distance of this city from the centres where Colored Democracy thrives is more than likely responsible for their inappreciable presence here during the recent confab of the national democratic party. For one thing they had no "soap and pullman car funds" to draw on to pay their expenses, as did many of those who were in Chicago earlier in the year. The Tammany Delegation brought with them, Mr. Oscar H. Waters, who served in the capacity of "Doorkeeper" at the headquarters of the New York delegation. He was in high favor and was given considerable publicity in the public press of the city.

FOURTH OF JULY WAS BIG DAY AT LANGSTON
LANGSTON U. CELEBRATES
INDEPENDENCE DAY
Interesting Exercises and Great
"Stunts" Participated In By
Teachers and Students;
Building Dedicated.
(APPOINTMENT TO TULSA STAR)
LANGSTON, OKla., July 8.-The Celebration of Independence Day at Langston on July 5, last was an event long to be remembered.
Langston University began to put on a festive look on July 3 when the members of the Alumni Association assembled to honor to their Alma Mater and by the evening of the 4th people had begun to arrive from all parts of the state for the annual festival to be celebrated on Monday the 5th.
Early Monday morning the campus was filled with merry makers who came on horse back, in buggies and automobiles of all kinds, filling every available space. The dormitories were clean from bottom to top and all rooms were opened for inspection by 7:00 A.M. It has been the custom for some years to celebrate the 4th of July as an annual festival and stunts of all kinds are performed at night.
In addition to this the dedication of the building was a special feature. At 11:00 o'clock promptly, every one assembled in the auditorium and the fun began.
President Marquess was Master of Ceremonies on either side of the stage two large magnificent silk flags gave the touch of patriotism in keeping with the occasion.
Judge C. C. Smith of Guthrie, member of the Board of Regents occupied the place of honor on the stage.
The members of the different "stunts" each had its own place in the hall.
The singing of National songs, rounds, etc., was led by Mrs. L. C. Clark, with Miss Beulah Douglas at the piano.
The University song, Langston, composed by Messrs. Work and Saddler, was led by Pres. Marquess.
The principal speaker, Judge C. C. Smith made a very interesting address, expressing the great interest of himself and Board of Regents in the University and promising more help in the future. Good talks were given by Dr. Sneed, former instructor, Mr. Smitherman of Tulsa Star, Mr. Dungee of Black Dispatch, and Mrs. Zelia Breaux of Oklahoma City, former head of music department of this school.
All the different stunts gave their many and varied yells and everything joyful and happy. After these exercises, Mr. Hughes, as Marshall, formed the following line of procession which made a sight brilliant and beautiful to behold; Pres. Marquis, Judge C. C. Smith, two flags borne by young men, the Class of 1920, the Alumni, the faculty, the members of the Summer School and the visitors.
The following buildings were dedicated: The President's cottage, Hazlewood by Miss Geneva R. Layne, McAlester, Phillis Wheatley, Miss Polly Bancom of Anadarka, Attucks Hall, by Miss Mary Elliot of Muskogee, Booker Washington Industrial Building by Miss Rose McGowan, Tulsa; Marquess Hall, by Miss Jean Marquess of Langston; Page Hall by Mrs. Zelia Breaux of Oklahoma City. After this ceremony dinner was served free to all guests.
An immense stage had been erected on the campus for the performance of the stunts and although many Oklahoma City and Guthrie people had returned home because

of the threatening clouds, yet there were hundreds of people left to fill all seats and spaces and very many loaded automobiles gathered around to see and hear.
First on the program was some beautiful rythmic work by the children of the Primary School under Mrs. Chin Buckner of Kansas City, Kan. Next was a beautiful demonstration in Gymnastics and Physical Culture with combination of dumb bells and wands, then Greek poses from Blacksheir's Greek dance ending with Miss Jean Marquess as Liberty enlightening the world and others in poses in Star Spangled Banner; this stunt was under direction of Miss Thomas, Physical Culture teacher. Then the Hargrove Caesar B. O. O. P. stunt, which was a scream from start to finish.
The best one in this stunt was the clown as depicted by Mr. T. E. Peet. The main thing in this stunt was the imitating of other stunts and it was a success.
Next came the Fort, Day, Hughes stunt, a beautiful Indian musical play arranged by Miss Lila Watson. The costumes, dancing and singing were good. Next came the Roberts, Clark "skit" which represented a vaudeville troupe seeking a place on the road under the management of the Salem, Tutt, Whitney company under the name of the "Smarter Set." Business picked up then. They had a medley of the latest songs, a solo, "Carolina Sunshine" by Miss Marie Phillips and the chorus; and Indian dance; the "Vamp" by Miss Allison was indeed a peach; also "Lil Liza Jane" led by Miss Nadine Davis and sung and acted by the company was all that could be desired. Logan Co., etc. led by Miss Beaulah Douglas was one of the best of the evening, the Hawaiian Dance—a medley, a cake-walk and dancing ending with a cake-walk were special features of this stunt. Taking it all in all, it was a great night.

BALTIMORE G. O. P.
BRETHREN HANDED
A "GOLD BRICK"
Republican Mayor Whom They Elected Last Spring Turns Down Their Demands.
(Special to Tulsa Star)
BALTIMORE, Md., July 8.—It was not long ago that the Colored republican leaders of this city were exceedingly elated over their achievement of putting over the top of a republican mayor against the formidable opposition of the democratic machine. Naturally they expected reward for their remarkable performance. For instance, they asked for appointment of four constables. Also, they thought on account of the unusually large percent of Colored population, that a member of the school board would be most fitting. Finally, it was deemed no more than just and fair that one of the Race be placed on the Loan commission. But to any and all of these requests, the man whom their votes elected, Mayor Bruening, has turned a deaf ear. The Mayor says he has not even considered making such appointments, thus hanging deep crepe on the hopes and aspirations of the Colored G. O. P. Brethren.

“An interested audience listened at Aeolian Hall to Mr. Roland Hayes, a colored singer, and quickly found him deserving of respectful attention. He has a tenor voice capable of sweet or ringing quality throughout a useful range, and he has been at pains to acquire all the elements of highly cultured “vocalism.” He delivered Pucinii’s “Chegelida manina” in Italian and Deehtoven’s “Adeliaide” with extreme refinement, set an example which many English singers would do well to copy by combining clear dionion with unbroken phrasing. He needs, however, to guard against overcultivation of style at the expense of naturalness and open tone production. His programme included songs in French and Negro “spirituals.” Accompaniments were played by Mr. Lawrence D. Brown.

Pastor In Right Place at Wrong Time.
(Kansas City, Mo., July 9.—This story illustrates the impropriety of legitimate business enterprises permitting disreputable practices in their rear. The Rev. J. M. Booker one of the leading ministers of this city, snagged his coat sleeve the other day, and stepped in the first tailor shop he passed to have it repaired. He had no sooner entered the place than the patrol wagon backed up in front, and the pastor was carried to the police station along with a dozen white men who had been gambling in a rear room of the tailor shop. The police sergeant with a revolver forced Pastor Booker to enter the patrol wagon though he had stoutly protested his innocence of wrong doing. Later the Rev. gentleman was discharged but the contumely of his arrest will remain in his memory for some time.

PRESIDENT PETTUS ADVISES ACTION
PRESIDENT PETTUS ADVISES ACTION
Now Is The Time to See That Proper Appropriations Are Made For Our Schools.
LANGSTON, Okla., July 8—We wish to remind the Negroes of the state that this is the month in which the fate of Negro Schools will be decided for the year 1920-21. The excise boards of the several counties will meet and pass upon the estimates made by County and city superintendents of schools and County Commissioners. It has been the rule in many places heretofore for these excise boards to cut the estimates for Negro schools to a minimum, thereby destroying the efficiency of these schools, then plead the vicious so-called "one mill law" as a justification for their conduct.
The "one mill law" is dead and buried—the action of the Attorney General's office—and it is the duty of the Negro citizens and the friends of Negro education in this state to see to it that it is not resurrected
There are tow legal provisions affecting Negro schools upon the enforcement of which all friends of Negro education in this state should insist. First, the constitutional provision which says: Separate schools for white and Colored children WITH LIKE ACCOMMODATIONS shall be provided by the legislature and IMPARTIALLY MAINTAINED. Second, the legislature in performing its constitutional function provided that "the County Commissioners SHALL annually levy a tax on all the taxable property in their respective counties SUFFICIENT to maintain said Separate schools----said taxes SHALL be estimated, LEVIED and COLLECTED in the same manner as other taxes for county purposes."
While the excise boards were later given the right to review all estimates of the board of county commissioners, they have no authority in law to cut down such estimates so long as they are necessary and do not infringe upon the provision prohibiting a levy in excess of ten mills for all county purposes.
The points which we wish to emphasize in the constitutional provisions are, first, that which says, "with like accommodations." If this means anything at all, it means like school buildings, like facilities, including school libraries, apparatus for domestic science and art, manual training etc., and teachers equally trained. Second, that clause which says that such schools shall be "impartially maintained." This means that in all the essentials necessary for the successful prosecution of educational processes, the funds shall be available to provide for the same. It means that the school buildings in the same district shall be so similar in
physical equipment, that the white and the Colored schools of equal numbers might exchange buildings without any handicap to the children of the former, or any advantage to the children of the latter. It means that the school terms for all schools in the same district shall be of the same duration. It means that the salaries of the Colored teachers shall be the same as those of the white teachers doing similar work.
The legislative provision makes it mandatory—not optional—up on the county commissioners and exercise boards to levy a tax sufficient to maintain these schools IMPARTIALLY.
With these provisions before them, the duty of the Negroes and the friend of Negro Education in the state is plain. Begin now a crusade for enlarged educational opportunities for Negroes, and do not let up until you have triumphed. Don't forget: Equal facilities, equal school terms in the same district, equally prepared teachers, equal salaries for equal work. The law grants these, and the lawabiding citizens of the state will sustain you in your demands for them. When in the right, men usually get what they insist upon having. It may not come at once, quite often it does not, but it will come eventually. Toward this end let's all work.

BROOKLYN, N. Y., July 8.—Julius Weissman, the white man who purchased the fine house at 119 Leflerts Place on the 7th of June, is having considerable trouble keeping displayed his signs, "For Colored People" on the building. He declares that the white neighbors destroy the signs as fast as he can put them in place. Several Colored men employed as house servants in the neighborhood look upon the whole procedure in the light of a joke.
Fighting Illiteracy
(A. N. P. Service)
ATLANTA, Ga., July 8.—Local Negroes are making substantial progress in an organized effort to reduce illiteracy among their race in this city. The Constitution had this to say recently: "Illiteracy and ignorance constitute a menace to any state or group of people regardless of their race or color, and has a part in every problem of our present day civilization; therefore, the necessity to encourage the present intelligent effort being made by Atlanta Negroes to reduce their quota of illiteracy."
Churches Line Up For Harding.
(A. N. P. Service)
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 8.
The Negro Representatives of this city have organized a "Harding Negro Ministerial Campaign Committee." An organization was perfected by the Cosmopolitan Church after a letter had been read from Senator Harding in which the following paragraph appears: "What America needs just now, more than anything else is to promote the brotherhood of the American millions and have all of them understand the mutuality of interest which ought to inspire all of our endeavors."
Migration Causes Slump.
(A. N. P. Service).
LYNCHBURG, Va., July 8—Lynchburg's population has appreciably decreased during the past ten years. The wholesale emigration of the Colored people to the North is said to be the reason for the falling off in this direction. Steps to bring about more pleasant relations between the races are being seriously considered. By this means it is hoped that the Negroes may be induced to remain here,

The Great Majority of Preachers Teach Error
PAGE FOUR
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
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 and 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 goes his (the preachers) pork-chops.
Remember the place, 618 East Archer street, Masnig Hall, 300 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 Sunday, July 18, will be entitled "THE LAST GREAT BATTLE." Friends 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 collection.

The great church system of the world, is made up of Diverse sects and each one of these sects has its own preachers who teach different theories inconsistent with each other. One class of clergymen (Catholics), have long taught and do yet teach that at death a certain class of men go to Purgatory, there to remain for an indefinite season and that they, the preachers have power to say prayers and masses to relieve them from their Purgatorial sufferings. This system of error has proven to be a fruitful source of money-making. This class of preachers have always and their members to understand that no one is ever relieved from Purgatory under one thousand years and thus this class of Clergymen set a date so far ahead that no living person could ever pay the bill, and therefore the obligation would descend from one generation to another. Still another class of clergymen teach that God long ago fore-ordained that a few persons would be saved in a Heaven of Eternal bliss while the great mass of mankind must spend their eternity in endless torment. In another way of putting it, they claim that the destiny of an individual is fixed without the individual's knowledge or consent. Another class of preachers hold and teach that God offers freely to every man the opportunity for salvation in Heaven and that anyone who misses that home of Endless Bliss does so by his own fault.
Another and more modern school of preachers, teach that man is a creature of evolution, springing from protoplasm and developing stage by stage from baboon to monkey and from monkey to man, and continues to progress until some time in the endless ages to come he will reach a stage of perfection.
There was a time when most of these Denominations claimed to believe in and teach the Bible as God's word of truth, but the more modern schools style themselves Higher Critics and deny the inspiration of the Scriptures and hold that they are wiser than the men of old who wrote the Bible.
The time was when these various schools of Theology were at war with each other, some going to the extreme of burning one another at the stake, because of different views. In modern times, however, they have sought a common union upon a common basis, each being willing to give up his pet theory and subscribeto no doctrine at all except an agreement to work together in the formation of a church trust. To accomplish their purpose they have united with the financial and political powers of the world.
Many thinking people have long been observing the inconsistences of the theories advanced by the preachers and have come to the conclusion that some of them, if not all of them are teaching falsehood. The result has been that many honest minded persons have been driven away from the churches from the study of the Bible and from God. The preachers realizing this fact are trying to rally

increased."
During the past half century the wonderful methods of transportation have come into existence. The railways girdle the earth. The great steam ships plow with rapidity the mighty seas. The airships fly as birds from place to place, and thus the power of electricity, steam and gas has brought the people in close contact with each other to witness a great running to and fro such as the world before has never known. At the same time there has come a marvelous increase of knowledge along every line. The modern would-be wise preachers look look wise and say: "Behold, what man has accomplished." But the reverential student of God's word points to Daniel's prophecies and say: "Behold the divine testimony enabling us to determine where we are on the stream of time." Most of the preachers are wise in their own wisdom and understand not. The meek persons who reverent God are wise according to Divine order and understand and rejoice in the unfolding of Jehovah's plan.
Just here I stop to warn the preachers that the time has come when the world is demanding the whole truth concerning God's plan of Salvation. The poor people have been fooled by the preachers long enough.
Friend, you may be surprised when I make the following charges against the majority of preachers; They stand guilty before God, in that they have misrepresented his character and plan of Salvation. They are guilty before the laws of the land for receiving money and honors under false pretense. They have患服 themselves in making the great masses of people believe that if they (the people) would pay them (the preachers) good, fat salaries, build fine church houses, keep up their church dues, etc. A heaven of eternal bliss would be theirs at death, but if they did otherwise a life of eternal torment and misery in fire and brimstone SERMON GALLEY THREE 3 3 3 would be their portion. As a matter of fact, there is not one word or line in the Bible supporting such doctrines; Yet with a full knowledge of the falsity of their claim, they have collected millions it money and lived a life of ease and slumber. They are plainly guilty under the laws of the United States for receiving money and honors under false pretense.
I further charge that every intelligent minister is teaching the doctrine of eternal torment or punishment in a lake of fire and brimstone for selfish purposes and does not want the people to know the truth. The only reason that this horde of false teachers do not defend themselves before the public, is because, first, they know they have no scripture to back them in their false teachings; second, they know that the people will hear the truth at such debates.
I wish to say further that every minister here in Tulsa who endorses the eternal torment of fire and brimstone doctrine owes it to himself and his fellow brothers to defend their doctrine before my face and the public for the reason that, one self-named, "Black Billy Sunday" who attempted to defend the ministers and other fire and brimstone sufferers made such a dis-
their forces and organize a general system whereby they can all stand together. The people of the world are beginning to find out that the clergy as a whole are teaching error, and naturally they ask the question, "Why do they do it?" The proper answer to this question is found in Isaiah 56: 10-11. Be sure and read it.
The present condition of things were fore-told, by the Lord's servants. Holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Spirit or invisible Power of Jehovah, 2nd Peter 1: 21. The Divine mind fore-knew all things that would transpire and cause a record to be made in advance. Prophecy is history written in advance of happening of events. Only the Divine mind could have fore-told and fore-known such events. In this day and time it is not at all common for a preacher to be asked by some of his members, an explanation of some phrases of the Scripture and almost invariably that preacher will answer the question like this, "The Bible cannot be understood by a layman, even though it was explained to him." In fact we hear very little explanation of the Bible any more. These preachers have become very indifferent to the teachings of the Lord and are dead asleep as to the importance of events transpiring now. Through the prophet, the Lord foretold this very condition.
The Apostles of old spoke of themselves as servants of God, but the modern clergymen take the name of Doctor of Divinity (D. D.) and call themselves the watchman of their respective flocks and claim to be God's watchmen. Now, of this class the prophet of the Lord wrote: "His watchmen (the preachers) are blind. They are all dumb dogs (D. D.). They cannot bark, sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber (Loving ease and comfort). Yea! They are greedy dogs which can never have enough and they are shepherds that cannot understand, (know nothing of the truth). They all look to their own ways, every one for his gain (money collections and honors) from his quarter (his denomination). Isaiah 56: 10-11.
The secrets of the Lord is with them that reverence Him. Psalms 25: 14. The first thing essential to the understanding of Jehovah's plan is a full and unreserved conservation to God's will at any cost. This means that such a one will never seek to please himself or man-made organizations or systems when to do so would be contrary to the will of God. To find out God's will one must study his word, namely the Bible, and once asserting the will of God, one should do his (God's) will without fear of man or hope of promised earthly reward.
God promised that in due time his plan would be unfolded to man. His due time to unfold it to the true Christians proceeds the time for its unfolding to the world in general. Jehovah showed the Prophet Daniel a vision of events to transpire, covering a long period of time and ending in a time immediately preceding the full establishment of Messiah's Kingdom on the earth. Daniel did not understand the meaning of the vision, because it was not intended to be understood in his time. Daniel said: "I heard, but I understood not." In other words, Daniel beheld a vision and heard the words of explanation but did not understand their meaning. Then he said, "Oh my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?" And he, Jehovah said: "Go thy Adam, for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be purified and made white and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand but the wise shall understand." Dan, 1p: 8-10. Bible Chronology shows that "the time of the end," is a period of years during which period those who reverence Jehovah will be permitted to understand the secrets of his plans and those are they who are termed, wise, not wise according to earthly wisdom, but wise according to God's manner. The modern clergymen do not pretend to study and teach the Bible but they study theology—man-made theories. They call in question the very authenticity of the Holy Scriptures and depend upon the wisdom of the world. Concerning such class it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?" 1st Cor. 1: 19-20.
Jehovah revealed to Daniel and caused him to record certain things as a keynote in order that the Godly wise might understand, saying: "But, thou, Oh! Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end, many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be

graceful failure that the thinking people of this city will always believe that the supporters of the eternal torment doctrine are hard pressed for some one to defend them before the public. Some of the would-be wise ministers have a way of pretending to others that the charges I make against them concerning their false teachings are of so little importance that it is not worth their time to bother with it, but dear people, such pretenses by these preachers are not true. The fact is they are afraid that their selfish schemes to keep the people fooled and their gross ignorance of the Bible would be shown to the public.
The charges I am making against the preachers are serious. If they are false the ministers should show me up through the scriptures to my face before the public. But if my position is true then every eternal torment preacher should stop at once and preach no more until he learns the truth. The people are entitled to know the truth concerning the punishment of the wicked. But they cannot know the truth as long as ministers who are supposed to represent Jehovah God, teach falsehoods. Now I am fully aware that the charges I am making against the majority of the preachers are not going to make me any friends except among those whose hearts are right and whose desire it is to please the Lord at any cost.

appreciation of God's benificence. Perry arranged to serve free barbecue to 1,000 old men, women and children on July 3, last. The tables were spread on the lawn in the rear of his establishment and all were fed to their heart's or rather their stomach's content. The barbecue feast cost Perry $500.00 but as he has neither wife nor children, the expense will not break him. One other instance of such prodigal giving stands in the feasting of the multitude by Dr. Redmond of Jackson, Miss.

Buffalo Firm Establishes Slavery
BUFFALO, N. Y., June 8.—The Dunlop Rubber Co., of this city is alleged to be working Colored men under a system more exacting and binding than the army—virtual slavery. The company being short of men recently imported 500 colored men from Richmond, Va., promising them most encouraging terms and prospects. None of these have been lived up to and the men are very greatly disgruntled and disgusted. One added hardship was that Southern whites had been appointed as overseers and foremen.
Colored Girls Get Clerkship.
BUFFALO N Y...Two colored girls, Viola Saunders and Adelaide Hamilton, were recently given employment as clerks in the Buffalo Tax Department, having proven their qualifications by civil service examination. The local Republican League was influential in bringing about this recognition, after the girls had shown their fitness.
This Story Comes From Dear "Old Harvard."
BOSTON, Mass., July 8.—Recently at Memorial Hall, Harvard University, a near race riot took place and resulted in the injury to Donat Wilson, of Pittsburg, Pa., the sending in of a riot alarm to the police department, and the escape of A. Mayer, Colored waiter, of Washington, D. C., who, it is alleged, started the trouble by drawing a revolver. Six hundred students dine in the Memorial Hall and the majority of them are of Southern extraction. Trouble has been brewing for some time owing to the resentment of the Southern students to what they called undue familiarity on the part of Mayer, as waiter. The trouble began when it is said Mayer made some slighting remark to Wilson, though different stories are told of the origin. All agree however, that Mayer grabbed Wilson by the hair and struck him in the face. To defend himself, Wilson grabbed the water pitcher and Mayer drew a gun. A grand students' rush followed with Mayer as the objective point. The boys threw Mayer down, took the revolver from him, and beat him up. Mayer was saved by the quick action of the headwaiter, and escaped before the police arrived in answer to the call.
Portland Entertains Pullman

PORTLAND, Ore., July 8.—The Portland Advocate relates that more than one hundred Pullman Car porters were in that city recently with the special trains of the Shriners who were holding an important session in that city.

THE CONFERENCE OF EDITORS
(A. N. P. Service)
The Conference of nearly fifty of the editors of the Associated Negro Press, held recently in Chicago in the library of the Appomattox Club, marks a new epoch in American life. It was the largest voluntary gathering of Negro editors ever held in this country. The discussions were fervent, practical and pointed.
These important facts were outstanding: The Negro Newspaper of today is a real commercial factor; the newspaper is the most outstanding force of public opinion in the race; the editors see with clear eyes and think straight, and there is not the slightest disposition to fear anything or anybody under the Heavens, and the newspapers of the country mean real business in working out this job of human rights and American opportunities
Call it radical, or by any other name, the "follies of the day"—segregation, jim crow, lynching, mob violence, disfranchisement and
bomb throwing—must cease and the right thinking of both races must see to the job.
The newspapers of the country, with the backing and endorsement of the Associated Negro Press have highly resolved to work in season andout, without wearying or impatience, to get the desired results.
There is no man too big, nor any section of the country too remote, to receive the serious and unflagging consideration of the newspapers published in the interest of the race.
The Chicago Conference of Editors marks a new day and a great day in working out our salvation.
THE MAJORITY OF PREACHERS TEACH ERROR.
(Continued from Page Four). is given to the Lord to do his will and it matters not what the result of my telling the truth may be I shall not stop until the Lord says enough done or until the strong hold of error and false teachings crumple Kindly remember dear people that in the defense of those who desire the truth and defense of Jehovah's character, I desire it pederstood that there is always an open challenge to any other minister any where to come before the public and my humble self and defend the charges that I have made against all eternal torment and fire and brimstone preachers. (To be continued next week.)
The Negro Press is extending its influence and adding to its power. The e gratifying results have attended its efforts because the social vision of the race has stronger and clearer sweep than ever before. If it were otherwise our hope for the future would be crushed to nothingness and we would have lived to no social purpose. The power is ours, achievement is now the order of the day.
Living, not dying, is now the dominant note in the soul-song of our higher aspiration. Heretofore our concern was centered in Heaven. We now realize that life holds the key to heaven. This knowledge has brought into striking and interesting relief the need to bring a sincere appreciation of the practical spirituality, imperatively demanded of men if they would build for substantial social progress.
Duty, not in the abstractly philosophical sense, but concretely applied to the healthy requirements of social existence has already begun to play an important part in ourtheories of contact. And here is where the Negro Press is doing its largest share of work. Character training, faith are being combined to bring about a situation which will soundly establish our right to a place in the Congress of Nations. This is real progress. It does not matter that certain journals have attained "a phenomenal measure of success" by pandering to tha baser instincts of the race. We can well afford to tolerate their unwholesome presence if out of the mists there comes something of the light of social health. Success is not achievement until its slow grows to light.

MERIDIAN, Miss., July 8.—Caesar F. Simmons, Postmaster at Boley, Okla., formerly of this city, spoke to a large sized audience at the Court House last Wednesday night on the "Atlanta Plan of InterRacial Co-Operation." He was frequently interrupted with applause, and delivered what was regarded by all classes of citizens as common sense talk on the relations of the races in the South.
Open Season In Virginia.
ELIZABETHITON, Va., July 8.—The mountains in this locality are being scoured in an effort to capture an unknown Negro who is accused of committing a criminal assault on the 15-year-old daughter of Wm. Estep of this place. Zan Smith, a white man, was fined $500.00 for an assault on the Estep girl last week. A Negro was apprehended but the girl could not identify him as her assailant. If the Negro who assaulted the girl is caught, he will be lynched.

CURRENT AND OTHERWISE
By W. H. A. Moore.
(A. N. P. Service).
The criminal presence of ignorance is not confined to the household of the Negro here in the United States. The woeful ignorance of social law prevailing among American whites is one of many amazing instances of the stupid insolence that may, in the end, spell
death for American institutions. Keeping at the social and economic top of a social organization is no easy job because it requires necessarily the exercising of a high and disinterested intelligence to maintain the position with a level head. Mere assertion of superiority will not do it. Neither will desire expressed in the noisy terms of the dauntless upholder of the blood of the "Anglo-Saxon" race comes as close as a mile to the purpose in mind. Superiority is a fact of life and not a creation of the imagination. It is lived, not Dreamed! He is superior to men who can do things better than I can do them; who can think clearer than I can think; who can live closer to the truth than I can live; who can face death with a calmer heart than I can face it. It is superiority of mind and heart that counts in the longer run of life. All else is twaddle.
Does Rape Justify Lynching?
(A. N. P. Service.)
Duluth is still "madly searching" for the brutes who sullied the fair name of that fair city with the horrible lynching of three Negroes who may have raped a young white woman of that place. I say, "may have" because there has been no proof brought forward that there was a young white woman raped by anybody, up to this date at the time alleged in the dispatches recounting the incidents attending the lynching. But "rape" is the one crime that justifies lynching. A street brawl is precipitated by any of a thousand trivial causes between a crowd of black and white underbreds. If the whites in the brawl happen to out number the blacks, a "lynching" occurs and rape is the cause. If, however, the blacks get the best of the fight there is a "race riot" in which the black casualties outnumber the white. The Jack Johnson-Jam Jeffries "riot" is one of the few instances about which the press dispatches were unable to work up a "white

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
THE NOMINATION of Gov. Cox of Ohio and F. D. New York as the Standard bearers of the democratic party may possible door to a democratic victory this fall. Never has any party offered to the American people a chance never will the voters of this country cast their back, cleaner or better men. In spite of the whine of the elected politicians, and even they are comparatively few, there are universal satisfaction than any other two men that ever at this time.
Cox comes before the people of the country unstained, then record as an executive and statesman with absolute past private or official life to explain or apologize for. The fellowman, who believes in the true principles of this respect he has but few equals in this country, is him eminently for the highest possible public service. Evidence with men adds to his qualifications. He has for only conducted two newspapers under conditions that a difficult task for many corporations, associations of brains, must operate one. There is no better way of ascertaining on public questions than through the medium of life he has any. Judged from this standard, Gov. Cox easily test, as he has always championed the cause of RIGHT without fear or favor.
An attempt is being made to muddy the waters by Cox is a "wet" candidate, thus injecting into the campaign from a legal standpoint as well as from a moral standpoint and delivered.
The American people, in the main, wanted prohibition. Many racs we have it, and no man, no matter how "wet" we take it from us soon, and there is no need therefore true into play.

But not being given to things of the content ourselves with the belief that F. D.

THE NOMINATION of Gov. Cox of Ohio and F. D. Roosevelt of New York as the Standard bearers of the democratic party opened the only possible door to a democratic victory this fall. Never has any party offered to the American people a better ticket and never will the voters of this country cast their ballots for two stronger, cleaner or better men. In spite of the whine of the poor defeated politicians, and even they are comparatively few, these men give more universal satisfaction than any other two men the party could offer at this time.
Cox comes before the people of the country unstained and with a clean record as an executive and statesman with absolutely nothing in his past private or official life to explain or apologize for. He is a liberal fellowman, who believes in the true principles of democracy and in this respect he has but few equals in this country. His training fitts him eminently for the highest possible public service and his experience with men adds to his qualifications. He has for years successfully conducted two newspapers under conditions that rendered it a difficult task for many corporations, associations of brainy men, to successfully operate one. There is no better way of ascertaining a man's attitude on public questions than through the medium of his newspaper, if he has any. Judged from this standard, Gov. Cox easily stands the iron test, as he has always championed the cause of RIGHT as against WRONG without fear or favor.
An attempt is being made to muddy the waters by charging that Cox is a "wet" candidate, thus injecting into the campaign an issue that from a legal standpoint as well as from a moral standpoint is dead, damned and delivered.
The American people, in the main, wanted prohibition, we take ie; at any rate we have it, and no man, no matter how "wet" he may be can take it from us soon, and there is no need therefore to bring this issue into play. But the people will not be misguided by false prophets. The world is crying for democracy—true democracy, and will have it so far as the United States is concerned, when James M. Cox is elected president.
F. D. Roosevelt, the democratic nominee for vice president, is a noted and lovable character, who instantly appeals to every good American as the logical running mate for Gov. Cox. Like his illustrious kinsman, Mr. Roosevelt has a strong personality and a very exalted conception of the duties and obligations that goes with American citizenship. If we were supersitious we would conclude that the spirit of the lamented ex-president is now hovering over young Roosevelt and guiding him in his political career, and grooming him for the unfinished work he had set out to do. But not being given to things of the spirit world, we content ourselves with the belief that F. D. Roosevelt has a peculiar place of destiny to fill in history and that he will acquit himself with the same creditable distinction that marked the career of his widely beloved relative. Indeed no other two men in the public eye today could well fit in the places into which circumstances have thrown Cox and Roosevelt. In spite of the third party or any other movement that may be started now, it is our guess that the confidence of the American people will be reposed in these men by a large majority at the polls this fall.
SEEING THINGS IN THEIR TRUE LIGHT.
FORTY YEARS in the saddle at Washington is a long long enough for the Grand Old Party to remedy the evils to effect our group. In spite of all that has been said about attitude of the democrats to our people and the great republicans toward us, it remains a fact that, computed from factual analysis, we must admit the Race has received more from the democratic party than from the republican party, than our support of the former has entitled us to. We are prone to dwell on and complain of the apparel of the party we have always opposed rather than consider of this attitude and seek the remedy in a common sense remember that there is a reason, real or imaginary, for the statute books and whenever a law appears detriment from our standpoint let us remove the cause and
FORTY YEARS in the saddle at Washington is a long time but not long enough for the Grand Old Party to remedy the evils that particularly effect our group. In spite of all that has been said about the unfriendly attitude of the democrats to our people and the great friendship of republicans toward us, it remains a fact that, computed from a strict political analysis, we must admit the Race has received more in late years from the democratic party than from the republican party—for more perhaps, than our support of the former has entitled us to expect.
We are prone to dwell on and complain of the apparent antagonism of the party we have always opposed rather than consider the real cause of this attitude and seek the remedy in a common sense way. Let us remember that there is a reason, real or imaginary, for every law on the statute books and whenever a law appears detrimental to our best interests from our standpoint, let us remove the cause and then demand the repeal of the law.
It is quite true that some of the legislation we have most strenuously objected to has been charged against the democrats (although in nearly every case republicans have assisted or condoned the acts); but it is also true, and we should not overlook the fact, that these evils, as a rule, are local in application.
The most notable and probably the most delestable of these were the segregation law and the Grandfather Clause, neither of which can justly be charged exclusively to the democratic party, for it should always be remembered that a democratic Supreme Court of the United States declared both unconstitutional. This is relief that the Grand Old
THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, July 10, 1920
Party failed to give us during its 40 years regime. Under the strict observation and careful exposition the democratic party is not near as bad, and not near as good as we have been taught to believe.
LET EVERY MAN REMEMBER that to violate on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter liberty. Let reverence for the laws be breathed mother to the lisping babe that praises on her schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it spelling books and in almanacs; let it be preached in legislative halls, and enforced in cottage short, let it become the political religion of the and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and tongues and colors and conditions sacrifice altars.—Abraham Lincoln.

Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that praffles on her lap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation, and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.—Abraham Lincoln.

DEMOCRACY.
In New York City Public Schools.
By William Pickens.
It is not perfect; because there are some grown-ups among them; there are the teachers; and the teachers represent a spoiled generation, while the children represent Nature and God.
So these children of many races are almost ideal democrats; they play and fight, sing and laugh, quarrel, love and hate, irrespective of race and color.
I looked upon their exercises and sometimes hate each other, both white and colored.
This meanness is not natural. It is the artificial product of such civilization as we have. When these children appear as they came from God and under the hand and guidance of the less sophisticated teachers of the grammar schools, they are normal. Later they become enmeshed and tangled in a multitude of lies and false humane pride.
Let us learn from the children. The boy may not onlybe "father to the man," but may also become his teacher and humanizer.

HOUSTON, Tex., July 8.—The last issue of the Army and Navy Journal states that there is an organized movement to free all of the Negro soldiers of the 24th Infantry, who were adjudged guilty of participation in the raid on Houston in August, 1917. The Journal points out that an application for writ of habeas corpus has been made before Judge John C. Pollock in the United States District Court in Kansas City, Kan., in behalf of the 39 soldiers who are now serving terms in the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavensworth, 41 of these men were convicted at the time of the court martial, but two have since died. The writ sets forth that the United States was not at war at the time of the raid and therefore the men were not guilty of violating any war law by the raid.
SEWARD-PARTEE WEDDING
NOTABLE EVENT IN
SOCIAL CIRCLES
One of the Most Elaborate Weddings of the Season Occurred Tuesday, June 29, 1920.
On Tuesday evening, June 29, when Madam Settie T. Partee, one of our wealthy and most honored teachers of Tulsa and John Seward, a Taskeegee graduate and electrician we married, one of the most beautiful weddings of the season was solemnized, her beautiful daughter, Miss Annie L. Partee, also a teacher of Tulsa of high standing.
The marriage took place at the bride's home at 8:00 o'clock, P. M. Dr. C. R. Tucker officiating. The bride wore a beautiful beaded georgette dress, pink satin slippers, a long white veil finished with a lovely pearl bandoer, a large bouquet of white sweet peas in her arms. Miss Artie Ozetta Lacey, the little flower girl, carried a basket of pink sweet peas and the bride's veil. She was dressed in a beautiful white organdy and white slippers and a large pink bow on her hair. After the wedding, the guests

It is not perfect; because there are some grown-ups among them; there are the teachers; and the teachers represent a spoiled generation, while the children represent Nature and God.
So these children of many races are almost ideal democrats; they play and fight, sing and laugh, quarrel, love and hate, irrespective of race and color.
I looked upon their exercises and into their eyes at the "Commencement" of school 119 in Harlem, the Lowell School. In this grammar school the Colored children predominate in number, as Colored folk predominate in Harlem. But there was no arrogance; the Colored children did not seem to be trying to "out" the white children, or to oust them from games or seats or companionship. There were all colors; white, yellow, brown and browner; golden and more golden; dark and darker still; and on up to those midnight children of Niobe. And although the teachers are practically all white, it happened that a perfectly black girl with the eyes of deep evening had the highest honors of the class with 922 points out of a possible 1000 in her studies. She also took a swimming prize.
When the honor students were called out for a formation on the floor, this daughter of the Goddess of Night was of course called first, as (quoting her principal) "the most brilliant star in the whole constellation." The other honorees, white and Colored, took their positions in symmetrical rank behind this girl as their center and front. The Colored honorees slightly predominated.
I must commend to older folk the sweet-tempered and democratic bearing of all these girls, white and colored, as they took their stand behind this dark-brilliant star. There were no frowns nor peevishness; no quarrelling with Fate nor evident 'complaintings against God. They were just folks perfect little women among women. Skin colors seemed to be just about as important as the various hair colors.
And just to think that these children are going to have this normal spirit "educated out of them;" that they are going to be corrupted by "trialization"—pisoned for life! God made them as they are; they will be gradually made over by the deviltry of man. Their democratization will begin in the high school as they turn from play toward the ways of grown-ups, and it will be carried on through the universities and the "Christain colleges" (God save us) until they come out into an unnatural world as snobs and enemies. They will will be, that

DULI FH WHITE GIRL
WAS NOT RAVISHED
DULUTH, Jan., July 9.—Members of the mob that lynched three innocent Negroes here June 14, are filtering out and already officers have failed to find men whom they had subpoenas for.
After investigation and careful analysis of the allegations there is no reason to believe that Irene Tusken was raped by one Negro, to say nothing of six.
The whole miserable affair, at this time, and in the light of developments is at ravesty on humanity law, order and justice. The plot was conceived in a lawless resort carried out by hoodlums and permitted by a weak and incompetent police department.
OKMULGEE OFFICER
ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTS
HIMSELF IN LUNG
OKMULGEE, Okla., July 7.—Jim Nance, peace officer of this city was seriously shot and wounded here. Tuesday when he accidentally dropped his revolver, while in a stooping position.

LYNCHING RECORD FOR
FIRST SIX MONTHS
Pres. Moton Sends Information Concerning America's Greatest Pastime.
TUSKEGEE, July 1—I send you the following information concerning lynchings for the first six months of this year. I find accord to the records kept by the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, Monroe N. Work, in charge, that there have been in the first six months of 1920, 12 lynchings. This is 17 less than the number 29, for the first six months of 1919, and 33 less than the number 45 for the first six months of 1918.
All of those lynched were Negroes. Eight of those put to death were charged with the crime of rape.
Yours very truly,
R. R. Moton, Principal.
