VOLUME X Howa Congressman Howard Offers His Services to All Ex-Service Men Who Desires to Take Advantage of Opportunity Offered By Government to All Liberty Veterans. According to a statement made yesterday by Congressman E. B. Howard, many of the ex-service men of all races have allowed their government insurance to elapse thus depriving themselves of protection that they can not possibly get from any other source. An extension of time has been granted by the Bureau of War Risk for the benefit of those who wish to renew their insurance and Mr. Howard, who has taken a personal interest in looking after the welfare of the ex-service men in Washington, now urges that they avail themselves of this opportunity to provide against future disabilities. "I am anxious to see these boys take advantage of this opportunity now while they can," said the Congressman, "and I will gladly render them any service I can to aid them if they will call on me. There is yet time for them to reinstate and for their own protection I hope they will not delay this important duty to themselves and their families any longer." Mr. Howard was elected to the United States Congress two years ago and has made a splendid record in Washington. He is now a candidate without opposition for nomination and re-election on the democratic ticket and in all probability will be returned by substantial majority. OHIO LILLY WHITES BUNCO PROMINENT RACE LEADER Similarity of Names Used As Pretext To Oust Editor Smith From Republican Primary. (A. N. P. Service) COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 16.—By a ruling handed down by the Secretary of State last Thursday, Harry C. Smith editor of The Cleveland Gazette, was forced off the Republican Ticket, as a candidate for nomination for Secretary of State, subject to the August primary election. Because the Gazette's editor has the same initials, "H. C." as the present secretary of state, Harvey C. Smith, he was charged with collusion to confuse the voters although Harry C. Smith denied collusion, and the evidence brought out at the hearing did not substantiate the charge. Because Harry M. Daugherty, political manager of Senator Harding, voluntarily, and without bearing on the case, caused to be introduced evidence purporting he had sent Harry C. Smith a check for expenses to come to Chicago to work for Harding, Colored voters are charging that the Harding-Daugherty combine was in collusion to force Smith off the ticket. The Cleveland Advocate, edited by Forte and Tyler, and between whom and the editor of the Gazette there has been no love, has bitterly denounced the ruling of Harry C. Smith from the race as high-handed injustice, and has championed the cause of its local contemporary's editor. The incident has greatly aroused Ohio Colored voters, and fear exists that they will make the party pay for it by withholding their votes from Harding in November. CHICAGOANS HONOR MAN WHO DEFENDED Noted Americans Commend Valor of Patrolman Owens At Notable Patriotic Testimonial. (A. N. P. Service) CHICAGO, Ill., July 16.—A patriotic testimonial was given at the Eighth Regiment Armory, July 4, in honor of Joseph Owens, the Chi- THE TULSA STAR cagp patrolman who was seriously wounded in the recent outbreak here which caused the death of two people. Patrolman Owens immortalized himself by rushing in defence of the American flag when a group of fanatics sought to burn it. The meeting was under the auspices of a citizens' committee, and the speakers were Edward H. Wright, who presided; Alderman Louis B. Anderson and Robert B. Jackson, Oscar De Priest, Chief of Police Gaurity and Henry L. Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga. All of the addresses praised the faithfulness of Policeman Owens. Chief Garrity declared that all citizens of the community must be protected, and that, in his opinion, a recurrence of last summer's riot would be impossible. Within three hours after his first knowledge of the recent disturbance, he had more than 1000 patrolmen on the scene. HASKELL WOMAN LIKES "REV HILL'S" SERMONS Haskell, Oklahoma, July 13, 1920. Mr. A.

Oblige MINNIE WISE R 2, Box 97, Haskell, Oklahoma Colored Organize Cox-Roosevelt Club State Meeting Called For August 9 In Tulsa to Affect Permanent Organization. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July 14 A temporary State Cox-Roosevelt Club was organized in the Travler Hotel here Tuesday by some of the leading Colored democrats of the state and plans laid to launch a vigorous campaign for the National democratic ticket this fall. A. J. Smitherman, editor of the Tulsa Star was elected temporary president of the club. The other temporary officers elected were J. W. Price, McAlerest, recording secretary; J. T. Presley, Tulsa, Corres- ponding secretary; John W. Bush, Oklahoma City, organizer and J. H. Smitherman, Tulsa, Treasurer. A State meeting will be held in Tulsa, Monday August 9, for the purpose of effecting a permanent or- ganization. All Colored democrats in the state are invited to attend this meeting. There are several Colored democratic clubs in the state at this time and a large attendance is expected at the Tulsa meeting next month. That the fight between Fred Fulton and Harry Wills, scheduled to take place in Newark, N. J., July 26 will not go 15 rounds and that Fred Fulton will be declared the winner is the opinion of Jack Thompson of this city, who has met both Wills and Fulton. Jack says he is not bluffing and offers to cover a bet in any amount up to $10,000.00 that his judgement is good. If Harding isn't, Cox will be. Weekly Mail Edition TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1920 Scott Ferris Picked As Sure Winner Gore Started Well But Is Loosing Speed In Final Heat of Strenuous Campaign. After completing a careful poll of the Colored democratic voters in this city, a prominent politician announced yesterday that more than 70 per cent of the Colored vote in Tulsa will line up in the Ferris column in the primary election, Tuesday, August 3. According to this announcement many of the voters who were formerly inclined to vote for the blind Senator have since changed their minds and will now vote for Scott Ferris in the primary. One Colored man when approached by a scout from the Gore campaign headquarters, and asked to vote for Senator Gore, said: "Well, my mind is already made up now, and I am going to vote one time, anyhow, for that Ferris man. But in case he lose then I'll use my next vote to help the blind." Friends of Scott Ferris claim that he will carry the State by a large majority. National Business League to Meet ARRANGEMENTS FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE PROCEEDING SATISFACTORILY Robert Curtis Ogden Association To Entertain Convention With Special Program In John Wanamaker Mercantile Emporium—The Program. (Special to Tulsa Star) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 17.—No more interesting program is being arranged in connection with the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, to be held here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19, 20, 1920, than the reception to be tendered the officers and members of the National Organization by the Robert Curtis Ogden Association in University Hall of the John Wanamaker Mercantile Emporium. Mr. Ogden, for whom the Association is named, was for many years one of the partners of Mr. Wanamaker. He was deeply interested in the educational and business development of the Colored people. Often he headed pilgrimages to the South in the interest of the education of all the children of the South, black and white alike. The special committee representing the Robert Curtis Ogden Association, charged with the responsibility of making it a success, is John W. Love, Chairinman; Robert S. Jackson and John L. Grinnell. The opening session of the League will be held in the new Dunbar Theatre while the first evening session will be held in the Academy of Music. Word has been received to the effect that delegates from Florida, Alabama, Georgia and other southern states are to assemble in Savannah and proceed under escort of the Savannah Negro Business League to Philadelphia, Mr. L. E. Williams, President of the Wage Earners' Saving Bank, Savannah, Ga., in a letter to Dr. Scott, Secretary of the League, says that Savannah is planning to bring two cars of delegates, and these together with other delegates from nearby states, will make a solid train of Business WOMAN GIVES TULSA WONDERFUL RURAL SCHOOL SYSTEM MRS. MINNETTE HEDGES The popular Superintendent of Tulsa County who is seeking re-election on her record alone. "MOST WONDERFUL SCHOOL of Tulsa county school development almost since statehood. Com-built up under Feminine Guidance. Perhaps no candidate before the people of Tulsa in the approaching primary election, August 3 is better and more favorably known to the rural people of this county than Mrs. Minnette Hedges, County Superintendent, who is seeking to succeed herself in this office. Mrs. Hedges has built up one of the best rural school systems in the country for which the people of Tulsa County will always feel themselves indebted to her. That her work has attracted marked attention not only in Tulsa, but elsewhere is proved by an article which appeared in an Educational issue of Harlow's Weekly last year. We reproduce the article here without further comment: "The keen discernment, energy and untiring zeal which Mrs. Minnette Hedges, Tulsa County Superintendent, has for one term and part of another put into every piece of her work is the first and best reason for a story of the progress of her county schools, one of the most wonderful school stories in America. Just here it might be well to pay tribute to the men of large wealth on the east side of the state. With but little exception every one assists in building good schools. If there is found a trace of opposition occasionally to a school levy from a big corporation, it is a mere trace and the man at headquarters denies that he is opposing school bond issues in any way. In other words, good schools in America have grown so popular that it is poor advertising to any man or any business to impose good school business of any kind. Many fine corporations, like the Gypsy, the Sinclair, the Carter and others, build school buildings as they build their plants and the family of the employed enjoy a modern school in all ways from first days on entering upon the field without money, and without price and wholly at the expense of the company. Mrs. Hedges is loud in praise of the great companies and their managers who transact business in Tulsa County and points with pride that they save the county great expense and are her best aids in developing her rural school system. Mrs. Hedges knows every phase League representatives from the South. We look forward to a record-breaking meeting. of Tulsa county school development almost since statehood. Coming into the office in 1910 as assistant county superintendent and remaining there until 1916, when first elected county superintendent, then re-elected in 1918, she has had an active part in every feature of the rural school development. Five years ago there were only 1,010 pupils on the rural rolls. Today there are 7,000 in the rural schools, and village school under supervision, bringing the quota up to 10,819. In 1914 the Tulsa city district had 6,957 pupils and the county 5,953. Today the city and county of Tulsa list 26,375, a gain of 13,465, or more than 100 per cent. When Mrs. Hedges took office there were perhaps forty pupils in the strictly rural schools taking high school work. Today there are a few more than 100, including village schools which are truly rural, there are enrolled more than 500 high school pupils. There are some one-room schools in the county paying teachers $75 or $80 per month, but the average salary in the rural school runs around $125, with superintendents in such centers as Glenpool Sperry, Bixby, etc., receiving $2,000 a year and a teacherage. The salaries in Tulsa, Creek, Washington Muskogee and Okmulgee counties are as good as may be found in the United States. Mrs. Hedges is striking right at the base of genuine school interests in the country schools. The small, weak, pauper school must go. The good people of Tulsa rural districts are seeking this and several rural one-room schools near such fine centers as Jenks, Owasso, Skaitook, Glenpool, Dawson, Bixby, Red Fork, Sand Springs and Broken Arrow are going to disappear and Tulsa county in the next four years will more than likely present to the state and the United States a picture of a completely consolidated county; every child therein included in a school with a plant as modern as that of any city, with normal and college graduates for teachers, with supervised special subjects as manual training and domestic science, agriculture, etc. This is almost possible right now, since all over the county there are just such schools. It will be interesting to introduce some of these not only most remarkable school centers of Oklahoma but leaders among the rural school forces of all America.

Grand Lodge here next week is being looked forward to with considerable interest by the people of this city and elaborate preparations have been made to care for the delegates and visitors who are expectd to come within our gates. Grand Chancellor Wickham says he expects an unusually large crowd during the Grand Lodge of both delegates and visitors and that he further expects the people of Tulsa to do their bit toward entertaining them. "I am counting strong on the Tulsa spirit," said Dr. Wickham "and I do not think anyone will be disappointed." The Grand Lodge will be in session Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. HOTEL WAITERS GET LAY OFF ON PAY Remodeling of Kitchen In Hotel Tulsa Gives Dining Room Attaches Short Vacation. All waiters in the Hotel Tulsa are off on a short vacation on full pay, according to a statement made by B. J. Green headwaiter at the above named hotel. The vacation will be in full force and effect for about three weeks during which time the waiters will receive their regular pay. Remodelling of the kitchen which will require about three week's time is the cause for the vacation. All the waiters, hall boys, hall maids and bus boys, and part of the kitchen help are Colored, and it is not unlikely, according to headwaiter Green, that Colored bell hops will be in style there. The headwaiter speaks in glowing terms of Messrs. Kyle, Triplin and Calvin, manager, assistant manager and steward, respectively. Mr. Green is one of the best hotel men in the country and has a splendid reputation among people of his race here. The Chamber of Commerce recently presented him with a gold medal in appreciation of his services to that body. He is the only man in Tulsa to receive such honor. WHO WANTS TO ADOPT A PRETTY BROWN BABY BOY? If you Are Interested Call the Star Office or A. M. Welch, Humane Agent.

The Star is pleased to be of service in offering to one of these childless homes all the joy and sunshine, a big brown eyed two months old baby boy is capable of lavishing upon kind hearted parents. The father of this little boy deserted him and his mother. The mother is compelled to work for a living and she desires to have her child adopted into a lesirable family.

(Star News Service) LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 15.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion pugilist, now a fugitive from American justice, in a long distance telephone call today from Tia Juana, Lower California, offered to surrender himself to federal authorities if accorded certain privileges. W. P. Hall, special agent of the department of justice, when told of Johnson's offer, said he refused to make any bargains with Johnson. Hall said Johnson offered to cross the line and surrender if he was were assured he would be taken immediately to Chicago where he was indicted on a charge of violation of the Mann act. He further demanded, Hall said, that he was at no time to be handcuffed or treated as a prisoner. Hall stated that he could please himself about crossing the line, but that if he did so he would be treated exactly the same as any other prisoner for whom the American government had a warrant.

(Special to Tulsa Star) OKMULGEE, Okla., July 16.—The International Ethiopian Rescue and Relief Conference held its First Anniversary at the Big Gospel tent in the city of Okmulgee, on June 30, 1920 with an attendance of stockholders, members and visitors of approximately 1,500. This was one of the greatest celebrations ever held by the Black people of America. Among the notged orators of the day were Prof. J. C. Leftwich, Dr. J. W. Gray, Mr. E Ayers, Dr. E. E. Beatty and Rev. J. H. Hoard. The big tent was filled to its fullest capacity and standing room was a premium. The spirit of the audience had been worked up to its highest pitch by the eloquence of the speakers, when the Secretary of the Corporation was seen to arise on the platform holding in his hand the Great National Charter of the corporation. He unfolded the charter raising it above his head, he stretched it out in plain view of all the audience A JOLLY BIGTIME Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday JULY 19, 20 and 21. At Okmulgee Oklahoma Speaking by some of the best orators in the State. Also Prince W. S. J. Cholloughczilczise, who is recognized as one of the world's best speakers. Special arrangements have been made to care for and entertain all visitors whether members of the Conference or not. You cannot afford to miss this celebration. You will regret it if you do, when others tell you of the good time. Everybody Welcome The crowd went wild with enthusiasm and rising to their tip toes, with their hands raised above their heads and with badges bearing the name of the corporation waiving from their bosoms they sent forth cheers after cheers in honor of the great National Charter. This corporation now owns two big general merchandise stores and a printing press, the two said stores are located in Okmulgee and Haskell, Okla., and said press in the little town of Bookertee, Okla. The enterprises have already given employment to a number of our people and are doing much valuable rescue and relief work for the race. It is now high time for the black race collectively to awaken and emerge into the commercial world in order to receive the universal recognition that other races have attained. The International Ethiopian Rescue and Relief Conference is doing more actual work along this line than any other organization among our people. Waldrep Got Himself In Bad. (Special to Tulsa Star) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., July 16.—Governor-For-a-Day, Tom C. Waldrep, of Shawnee, who became acting governor by virtue of his office as speaker of the house and because of the absence from the state of Governor Robertson, Lieutenant Governor M. E. Trapp and Senator R. L. Davidson, of Tulsa, president pro tem of the senate, has been the subject of a searching investigation into the granting of a pardon to Martin M. Fulkerson, Alva banker, sentenced to serve seven years in the state prison. Governor Robertson had refused to grant clemency in this case. Lieutenant Governor Trapp declined to take any action and Senator Davidson, while acting governor, also turned down the application of Fulkerson's attorneys. Waldrep' was governor for a day when Trapp, Davidson and Governor Robertson were all absent from the state. Senator Davidson stated that Waldrep had agreed not to take any action in the Fulkerson case when Davidson found he had to leave the state. Attorney General Freeling held an investigation into the granting of the pardon and said that he would insist that the mandate of the criminal court of appeals affirming Fulkerson's sentence be executed and that Fulkerson be sent to the prison.

Burleson, requesting that he order an investigation into the facts of the lynching of James Spencer, a Negro postal clerk, at Enterprise, Miss., on July 5, reminding him of the fact that the federal government has the power of police protection over those in its service. At the same time the Association wired Governor W. P. Hobby of Texas asking that he bring to justice the members of the mob which on July 6, at Paris, Texas, took from the county jail, Irving and Herman Arthur who were being held on a charge of having killed their landlord and his son, and burned them at the stake. The barbarity of this latter lynching is magnified by dispatches in which the sheriff at Paris, Texas, is quoted as declaring that one of the two Negroes burned was not the right one and that he doubted whether theother was the right party, and in which he is reported to have gone into Arkansas on the trail of the men believed to have killed the farmer and his son. The telegrams follow: July 7, 1920. Hon. A. S. Burleson. A VERY INTERESTING PROGRAM WILL BE RENDERED—NOT LONG BUT SNAPPY—FULL OF PEP—JUST THE KIND YOU WILL LIKE. THE CELEBRATION GROUNDS WILL BE FOUND IN HILL'S ADDITION, 4 BLOCKS NORTH AND 4 BLOCKS EAST OF FRISCO DEPOT. National Association for Advancement of Colored People calls upon you as head of Post Office Department to bring this matter to attention of proper authorities. James W. Johnson, Field Secretary. National Association for Advancement of Colored People. July 7, 1920. Hon, W. P. Hobby, Governor, Austin Texas. Dispatches of July 6, Paris, Texas state that Irving and Herman Arthur, Negroes, aged 19 and 28, charged with having shot and killed their landlord, U. S. Hodges, and his son, were taken from jail by mob and burned at stake. This furnishes another instance of the most barbarous form of lynching where mere murder is the alleged crime. The barbarity is magnified by dispatches from Idabel, Oklahoma, in which Sheriff U. W. Dewitt of McCurtain county, Oklahoma, quotes Sheriff C. D. Clarkson of Paris, as declaring that one of the two Negroes burned at Paris was not the right one and that he doubted whether the other was the right party. Sheriff Clarkson is reported to have gone into Arkansas on trail of men believed to have killed the Texas farmer and son. National Association for Advancement of Colored People respectfully urges that you use power of your office to apprehend and punish members of mob who took law into their own hands and put to death men who were probably innocent.

Those who have endeavored to "keep tab" on the passage of resolutions by patriotic, civic and other organizations condemning the actions of Senator T. P. Gore in the upper house of congress during the war have lost count. Another was added to the list a day or two age when Dobbs-Frazier Post No. 55, American Legion, adopted scathing deminiciatory resolutions declaring Gore's course during the war unpatriotic and disloyal and pledging its members to use their best efforts to defeat the junior senator in his contest for renomination at the August primary.

At a recent fanning bee at the capitol, talk drifted to spectacular incidents in political and semi-political history of Oklahoma. One of the best tales of the lot was that which described "Dynamite-Ed" Perry's visit to the secretary of the interior at Washington when Perry made a bid for the mineral rights of all the segregated coal lands in the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations. Presenting a certified check for $75,000 as evidence of good faith Perry suggested to the secretary of the interior that his bid for the lands be accepted. He offered fifteen million dollars for the mineral rights to about half a million acres. The department rejected the bid on the ground it would be unwise to turn the mineral property to a private individual or place it in the hands of a syndicate. As a sequel to the story it was pointed out that the government has actually received less than two-thirds of the amount Perry offered for the property. PUBLICATION NOTICE.

Watch this notice weekly for subject of lecture and any possible enclosure of date. Subject for Sunday, July 18, will be entitled "THE LAST" GREAT BATTLE." Friends come and hear for your self the only consoling message during these times of great perplexity. It costs you nothing but your time (Continued From Last Week) A short answer to the question as to where are the dead, is that they are all in Hell. I know this statement sounds very queer to most of us for the reason that we all have long understood that Hell was a place of Fire and Brimstone. Forked-tailed Devils, etc. But as a matter of fact the meaning of Hell in the Bible is simply another way of saying grave. Hell and the Grave mean one and the same thing. All of you who have a reference Bible, turn to Psalms 49: 15, and note in Marginal reference that the word grave means Hell, also turn to Psalms 55: 15, and note the word Hell, marginal reference means grave. There are many other Scriptures but these should suffice the reasonable minded. We have reached the point in life where every earnest hearted person should say in the language of St. Paul, "Let God be true, tho' it prove every man a lie." Roman 3; 4. Then let us settle the question according to the word of God, "The dead praise not the Lord, neither they that go down in silence," Psalms 155:17. "His (man's) breath goeth forth, he returns to dust; in that very day his thoughts perish," Psalms 145:4. "For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy is now perished, neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is under the sun. Whatsoever thy hound findeth to no, do with thy might; for there is no work, not device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave where thou goeth." Leech 9: 5-6-10. Why should intelligent people pay a large sum of money to priests and other preachers, who are nothing but sinful men, to pray pravers for persons in this condition? The psalmist says, "In death there is no remembrance of thee, in the grave who shall give Thee thanks?" Psalms 6:5. But I hear some one ask: "Is not there a Hell?" We answer, "Sure there is." But the Bible Hell is not a place of conscious torment by Forked tail Devils or otherwise. The Hell mentioned in the Bible is the condition of Death, oblivion, the tomb, the grave, or in other words it is a condition of non-existence. The word oblivion can be better understood by an illustration; take for an example a piano, the top, the back, the sides, the springs, the pedals, the notes, etc., are all brought together in harmony with a pattern and when so brought together so as to produce music it has the name of a piano. Any one can readily understand that none of these various parts above named to themselves could be called a piano. Now listen, let the iron that is in the piano return to the mine from which it came, the wood $b_c$ returned to the oak in the forest, etc. When all these parts are returned to their original places; where would be your piano? It would be in a condition of non-existence and the only thing that would remain would be the character pattern, such as would permit the designer at any time in the future to reproduce a piano the same A. W. K. RICHARD J. HILL as the one that went into oblivion; so it is with man; when he dies, all the elements of the body return to the respective places. The mineral part of man goes to dust, the volite part returns to the atmos- phere and the spirit of life or power to give life returns to the God that gaweth it—that is to say no one can bring an individual in- to existence but Jehovah God who carries the character pattern in the chambers of his memory. unlock, that one has been ever in unlock, condition the dea reaction. The is seven book Christian symbol Jehovah through his prophets foretold that Jesus would go to Hell, and he did, he went to the same Hell to which the other dead go, and he was dead until the third day when God raised him up. Referring to him the Psalmist wrote: "Thou wilt not leave my soul in Hell," Psalms 16: 10. This text is cited with approval by the Apostle Peter in Acts 2: 27. Now listen if Hell is a place of conscious torment eternal in duration, then if would have been impossible for Jesus to have gotten out of Hell; where as the Scriptures conclusively prove that He was raised on the third day. Addressing himself to the people of Capernaum, Jesus said, "And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto Heaven, shall be thrust down to Loch," Luke 19: 15. I hope no one is so foolish as to think of Capernaum, the proud city with its lands, houses and population in a place of eternal torment, roasting. The people of Capernaum had been greatly favored, and, figuratively speaking, had been exalted highly in the standards of the people and of nations, but because of their misuse of God's blessings, they were told by the Lord, Jesus, that they as a people should be thrust down to Hades. That is to say over thrown, destroyed, go into oblivion or in other words that proud city was to be brought to a condition the same as though it had never existed. It is now a historic fact that Capernaum is so thoroughly buried in oblivion that not even the site where it stood is definitely known. Jesus addressed the people of that time in parables and dark savings, hence he used the symbolic language as above slated "All these things spake Jesus into the multitudes in parables, and without a parable, spake he not unto them." Math. 13; 34. Again he said, "Thou art Peter, (Greek) "Petros", a rock, a stone, one of the living stone-strong minded, of strong character, and upon this rock (Greek), Petra, mass of rock, fundamental rock; the great truth that Jesus is Christ, I will build my fifth and was dead, Beloved, I am alive forever more, Amen; and have the keys of Death and Hell (Hades) churen (composed of faithful followers like St. Peter) and the gates of Hell, (Greek), Hades, shall not prevail against it." Math. 16; 18. Paraphrased we would understand these words to mean that Jesus established the church, which is his body, composed of many members. (Col. 1: 18; St Cor. 12; 12) and all the bitter and relentless persecution which has been the experience of His true followers throughout the Gospel Age and which has taken them down into Hell, the Grave, the same place where he went, should not prevail to their utter extermination, because in God's due time the Church will be brought forth in the first resurrection, (Rev. 20; 6). Again, Jesus said, "I am he that the Grave)." Rev. 1: 18. Now listen, the keys mean the power to OKLAHOMA 16.—Two Okla.

Jesus' statement here is, that once he was dead, but now he has been raised and is alive forever more and has the power to unlock the tomb, the grave, the condition of death, and bring forth the dead in the time of the Resurrection. The Lake of Fire and Brimstone is several times mentioned in the book of Revelation, which all Christians admit to be a book of symbols. However, most of the people being under the influence of the teachings of selfish and ignorant preachers, think and speak of this particular symbol (Lake of Fire and Brimstone) as a literal statement, and that it gives support to the eternal torment doctrine, not withstanding the fact that the symbol is clearly explained and defined as meaning the second death," and death and Hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death etc. Rev. 20: 14. It is some times spoken of as a lake of fire, burning with brimstone." Rev. 19: 20. The element brimstone being mentioned to intensify the symbol of destruction, the Second-death. Burning brimstone is one of the most deadly elements known. It is destructive to all forms of life. The symbolism of this lake of fire and brimstone is further shown by the fact that the symbolic beast and the symbolic false-prophet and death and Heli as well as the Devil himself an all his followers are destroyed in it. Rev. 19: 20; 20: 10; 14: 15; 21: 8. Dear thinking people, I would be more than glad if some of those ministers who are constantly teaching falsehood or anyone who believes in their teaching to tell me and the rest of the thinking people, who is going to keep the fires burning when the Devil, and all his followers are destroyed in the lake of fire and, brimstone? You know that the above cited scripture plainly states that the Devil will be destroyed in that lake. All the preachers worthy of the name knows that the doctrine of eternal torment or punishment in a lake of fire and brimstone, through out eternity is absolutely, false but because of their selfish interests, love for money find and deserved honors, they will not come out with the truth. Dear friends, you should demand a clear logical and scriptural four-dation for every statement from those who claim to be God's servants and if they cannot make it clear through the scripture of what they teach you should cease to hear them and sustain them in their false teachings, because they're wolves in sheep's clothing and have not the interest of the humble minded people at heart. Brother preachers, take the advice of one who loves you if you will tell the truth. Come out for the truth, boldly and live with your people. For if you do not do this very soon, you will find yourself back in the corner by the demands of the people for the truth. If you wait until that condition is reached, then the only thing that you could do would be to get out as quickly as you can, because the sight of you under such conditions would be a stench to the moral nostrils of the truth loving people. Now remember take my advice and come out for the truth or get ready to go to the farm, the mines, or other places of labor for your support. The world will no longer support or sustain men in any walk of life. THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, July 17, 1920 whose chief course is for undeserved honors and semish gain. (Continued Next Week).

Wilson, State Superintendent of Education calls attention to startling | condi- tions in the matter of qualifications of teachers employed in Oklahoma, and points out the impossibility of vaising the standard of the schools through the employment of inetti cient teachers, In Mareh last the State Superintendent sent out an in-] quity to the various County Super: intendents with reference to the qualifications of teachers employed in schools not having the four year high school course. ‘The resull of the inquiry, excepting — Lincoln County alone, is as follows: ; 177 teachers are college gradu ates: 721 teachers are normal school xraduates: 474 teachers have at fended college but have not gradust cd; 4274 teachers have attended normal schools but have not gradu Rae 2373 teuchers are only high school graduates; 2.453 teachers have not finished high school; 1,825 teachers have no high school, 1 inal school, or any other hind of training.

It was the Bishop's first appearance here since his appointment at the recent conference to preside over Louisiana and Oklahoma conferences. Union Revival Proposed. Union Revival Proposed. The Revs, H. T. S. Johnson and J. R. McLain, two of Tulsa's best known pastors, are planning to hold an open air revival meeting, the program of which will be announced later. Got His Crop In Out of the Rain. The daily rain of last week had no terrors for Prof. J. R. Johnson of Taft, who passed through Tulsa going to Oklahoma City and back. He expressed great sympathy for his numerous agricultural friends of the Taft neighborhood, who had not exercised the same wisdom he had. His wheat has all been threshed and put away and this he had had the foresight to look after before leaving to attend the meeting of the State Board of Education. Prof. Johnson made his annual report which was unanimously approved, and his work during the year was commended in high terms. The professor reports that during the present summer he will finish the erection and installation of an ice plant at the State institution at Taft. This addition to the equipment of the Blind School will not only be beneficial to the school but to the Taft vicinity as well. Prof. Johnson was in Tulsa Friday en route to Muskogee and home. Kelly Miller Here in August. The local Hunton Branch of the Y. M. C. A. has arranged for Prof. Kelly Miller, the distinguished orator and educator of Howard University, Washington, D. C., to deliver a lecture on August 25th, at Convention Hall. His subject will be "The Aftermath of the Great World War." The enterprise of the officers of Hunton Branch in securing such a lecturer merits the unanimous support of all classes of our citizens. PUBLICATION NOTICE.

They tell of your connection with the "Mechanism," which when understandingly put in operation is the enemy of grief, trouble, fear, failure and unhappiness. The cost is but $10.00 and after you have them in your possession I am sure you would not part with them or the results obtained, for a large sum.

SUCCESS IS BUSINESS is not measured in the volumes of sales, but in the margin of legitimate profit realized for services well rendered. THE "TRUE OR RUIN" ELEMENT in the democratic ranks defeated the party ticket in the recent city election; but they can not play the same trick again and win. ANY MAN OF ANY RACE who thinks himself too big to accord to the humbles of his fellowmen common justice, human fairness, is in fact too small to be of any real service to humanity. TULSA STRETCHES FORTH HER ARMS in a hearty welcome to the Knights of Python delegates and visitors to our city next week. Come on, comrades, and enjoy yourselves once again! THE TULSA BANK CLEARINGS for this week show an increase of more than 25 per cent over the corresponding week for last year. This is probably due to the fact that the banks have stopped loaning money. THE REPUBLICANS OF TULSA are already claiming a sweeping victory in the county election this fall, although they have nothing to base their claims upon. Indeed it will be a sweeping victory—but for the democratic ticket. INTELIGENT COLORED MEN are not affiliating with the democratic party in win the white man's love, but to obtain justice for all men, a consummation in county to be wished, but which the republican party has failed to secure in more than forty years regime. Wherever the Colored man is toothed divided in politics there the Race usually gets a square deal. On the other hand, where he votes almost solidly for the republicans there the Race gets held from both democrats and republicans—Muskogee for instance. THE SOCIALLED DEMOCRATIC MEETING at the city hall Wednesday night earlier by the "Kronie kickers' Klub" was a rather disgraceful affair, considering the presence of ladies—and a few gentlemen. The sole purpose of the meeting seems to have been a design to launch a fight on Senator Davidson for his action (at least this offered an excuse) in parlaying Hill (Cookmore) et al. The senator was present and made a very fussing and murky defense of his action, giving a full explanation which, however, did not save of apology. He read a letter from Gov. Robertson which completely exonerated him from any cruel suspicion and compelled his action, but even this did not check the onslaught of his political ties. The meeting broke up in great discord and thus began another national fight in the ranks of Tulsa democracy. COX AND ROOSEvelt are men of destiny, not made, but to the manor horns. They have been selected to fill a big space in the world's history at a time when the principles of human justice, human liberty, are being set up as land marks in the beginning of a new era for the human race. "Cox and Roosevelt" are the names which sounded throut the country from the San Francisco convention when the nerves of the nation were strained in intense anxiety to know the men upon whom the greatest of all honors and responsibilities would fall, and there was a spontaneous ambush of satisfaction such as the country had never known since the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt. And "Cox and Roosevelt" will be the echo resounding throughout the world this fall when once again the public nerve will be a high tension and the voice of the people at the polls will announce a glorious victory for democracy and America!

It changes a dingy complexion into a Brown-Skin immediately. It's impossible to detect it and gives the skin that Brown-Skin appearance and baby softness everybody raves about. You put it on in the morning and it stays there all day, perspiration does not effect it, and is a wonderful tonic for the skin, makes the skin transparent, smooth and velvety. It is absolutely harmless and will not produce or stimulate a growth of hair. Caleimmine liquid sold by druggist accept nothing else then you will not be disappointed.

Viscoe claims he boarded a train at Okmulgee and because of the crowd at the station was compelled to pay a cash fare to the conductor. He took his place in the compartment reserved for Negroes, but shortly after the conductor, without allowing him time to show his receipt for the cash fare, beat the petitioner over the head with a blackjack and with the assistance of the porter attempted to throw him from the train. Viscoe found his cash fare receipt after receiving the beating and was allowed to continue on his way to his destination, Sapulpa. He received injuries from which he will suffer the remainder of his life, he claims, and asks damages against the railroad for the unlawful and unwarranted acts of the conductor and porter on the train. ---
