Gore By Large Majority: Ferris 94,278; Gore, 69,599. (Special to Tulsa Star) OKLA MOMA 701-222-2222 (Special to Tulsa Star) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Aug. 6. Although late returns from Tuesday's primary cut down somewhat the early lead piled up by Representative Scott Ferris for the democratic nomination for United States senator, the represpective still had a lead of 24,680 over Senator Thos. P. Gore on a tabulation by the Daily Oklahomaan early today of complete but unofficial returns from 2,115 of the 2,708 precincts of the state. The vote stood; Ferris, 94,278; Gore, 69,599. In a signed statement issued at his headquarters here today, Senator Thomas P. Gore declared he had "run a handicap race and lost" in the contest with Representative Scott Ferris for the democratic senatorial nomination in Tuesday's primary. The senator declared he would continue to work for the success of the democratic party. He said: "I shall continue to wish and work for the triumph of democratic principles, liberty of thought speech, conscience, and the press." THE PEOPLE'S MOVE. LANGSTON, Okla., Aug. 5.—President Petulus of the state Teachers Association, commenting recently upon the movement for better schools for Negroes and better sailors for teachers in Negro schools said, "this is not primarily the teachers' fight; it is rather the people's fight. Teachers are here today or this year, and may be gone the next; but the people will continue to abide here, and whatever may be the condition of their schools, they and their children will have to put up with them. It behooves the people, therefore, to get behind this movement for better schools and push it until they have acquired what right belongs to them." Replying to the question concerning the rumored recall of the opinion recently handed down by the attorney general's office, President Pettus said: "Doubtless, this ruse was made for political effect. The opinion given out from the attorney general's office relative to the so-called one mill law is the only logical one that could have been, or can be given. Any other form whatever source to the contrary is bunk. There is, as I have said before, no law limiting the levy for the support of Separat schools except that which limits the total county levy to ten mills." Suppose some of the county excise boards adopt the same procedure as in former years respecting the estimate which the county, or city, superintendent of schools regards as necessary for the proper maintenance of Separat Schools, and which has been allowed by the county commissioners, should be met promptly by mandamus proceedings by the citizens whose school is immediately affected. This will put the question up to the court, where, under existing laws there can be nodoubt as to the outcome. "The time has come," he said, "when Negroes must be a unit on all questions affecting their welfare. No question is more vital to them than that of the education of their children, and in this there should be no varying nor shadow of turning. They must close rank and present a solid front." SELLS-FLOTO SHOWS VISIT TULSA. "The second largest circus in the world, the Sells-Floto, is coming to Tulsa, Friday, August 13th, for afternoon and night performances, 2:15 and 8:15 o'clock," said a press agent stepping up to the city editor's desk Monday morning. And we were just a little inclined to believe that this particular FERRI press agent is a rather truthful looking fellow at that, for all advance press agents claim to be a head of the biggest. Anyhow, the circus, which has made for itself a great reputation in the west for years, and which ventured into the East last season, leaving such a splendid impression with the circus-going people, is coming on the day and date mentioned with trains loaded to the guards with the best ever offered to amusement-seekers who like the tops best. There ar$_{g}$ three rings, two stages, the air and the great tracks under the big tents filled at each performance with the best to be seen in aerial, ground riding, wire, Indian, dog, pony, monkey, track, clown, elephant and just about all kinds of circus acts imaginable. The spectacular entree, "The Birth of the Rainbow," opens the big performance. In this most of the performers and animals are introduced to the audiences. Of course, there is the parade at the usual hour—11 o'clock and it is on time. Muskogee's Loss—Tulsa's Gain The Rev. S. M. Twine, one of our foremost citizens and widely known throughout the country in two fields, religious and financial, who for a number of years has been a resident of Muskogee has taken Dr. Watson's office on East Archer and will utilize it as his headquarters hereafter. This acquisition to the citizenship and commercial and financial circles of Tulsa is one in which all Tulsans should have much pride. The Rev. Twine in the religious field will continue his activities as Secretary, of the Baptist State College maintained by the Oklahoma State Baptist Association. In the financial arena this successful oil proprietor and operator has moved here to be nearer Chelsea where he has properties, a low estimate of which would be $50,000 and which promise thru his active development to run up into millions in a short time. He is associated with no corporation, but enjoys the unique distinction of being by himself an operator of an extensive and promising oil holding. DURHAM ATROCITY VICTIM DECLARED INNOCENT Such Horrors Are Likely to Arouse Protesting American Sentiment (A. N. P. Service) DUBHAM, N. C., Aug. 5—In a communication to the Durham Herald, Nello Teer, contractor who employed Ed. Roach, who was lynchied near Roxboro, Person County, on charge of attempted criminal assault, declares that Roach was innocent of the attempted crime, that he could not possibly have been guilty, and that the mob made a ghastly mistake in killing Roach. "Editor Morning Herald: "I have just read your editorials on the lynching of Ed. Roach in Person County, and I feel I would be an unworthy citizen if I failed to state what I know about this matter. "When this Negro was lynched an innocent man was murdered as would have been had you or I been the victim of the mob. He was working for me and was a quiet, hard-working, inoffensive, humble Negro. On Monday he came to me and stated he was sick and wanted to go with me to Durham that night to see a doctor. I greatly regret that I did not take him with me, for I believe his life would have been spared, but instead I arranged for him to go Tuesday night to Roxboro. He continued at his work all day Tuesday until about 5:30 (bear in mind the crime for which he was lynched occurred between 2 and 3 o'clock that afternoon, when he asked permission of his foreman to stop and go to Mount Tersa station to catch the train for Roxboro. Permission was given him and he left for the station TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1920. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Hill, Tulsa attending the sessions of the Inter and taking a promised part in its pr days is looked forward to byhis n The Hon. Richard J. Hill, Tulsa's leading citizen, who is in the East attending the sessions of the International Bible Students' Convention, and taking a prominent part in its proceedings. His return home in a few days is looked forward to by his numerous friends. walking. At 5:45 he passed the state's bridge crew (white men) and two men who were searching for the guilty Negro saw him and followed him up the road to Mount Tersa station where he sat down and waited for the train. These two men sat down on the railroad near him. When the train came he got on and paid his fare to Rosboro and got off the train there. He was not arrested until he got off the train. I am advised by the Chief of Police he asked what they had him for and told them he had not done anything, but he was not told until he got in jail what they had him for. He dented it and told the little girl when she was brought in that she was mistaken; he was of the man, so the sheriff informs me. He asked to be taken by my office to see my superintendent with whom I had arranged to carry him to the doctor, but permission was refused him. He had been working for me off and on for two years and on this particular work since November 1, 1919, and was in every way a straightforward, inoffensive Negro. His life has been taken for something he knew absolutely nothing about. "A Negro man about Ed. Roach's size came to my camp on Sunday night, was employed on Monday and went to work Tuesday morning. About 8:45 a. m. he drove my team out to the side of the road and had been gone about 25 minutes when my foreman missed him. My foreman took out one of the mules and went to look for him, going up the road towards Mount Tersa. The Negro saw him and broke and ran over the east side of the railroad going towards Lynchburg. This was about 10:30 a. m. Tuesday morning in approximately three quarters of a mile of the scene of the crime. This man was dressed practically the same as Ed. Roach with cap and overalls, was about the same size but a little darker in color. He was a strange Negro who had never been in any of our camps before, and the circumstances would point to him as the guilty party. "I make this statement in the interest of truth and justice and with a full knolwedge of the odium I am bringing down upon my own ```markdown ``` RICHARD J. HILL head in doing so, but with the hope that this fearful crime may shock our people as to make its like again an impossibility." Dark Races of the World Jystified In Rescending Centuries of (A. N. P. Service) CHICAGO, Ill., July 31.—More frequently these days than ever before, there appears in the daily newspapers of the country, editorials based on human justice, with argument that is unanswerable. The Associated Negro Press takes great pleasure in calling attention to exceptional editorial expressions, and sends the good news on to 15,000,000 who are cheered, inspired and strengthened by the "gospel truth" as if were. Thousands know the truth on the other side, but those who will admit it, and those who have the courage of their convictions, form a big gap which must be filled. A recent syndicate editorial appearing in various daily newspapers throughout the country, is worthy of a place of honor in every newspaper. It is worthy because it is true and logical, and because, through the various daily newspapers, it has gone deep into the minds of thinking people, who cannot forget its philosophy, and who will, sooner or later, be brave enough to speak out boldly for the justice which has been so long and bitterly denied. The editorial is a "nut shell" sermon, and says: "For Duluth, Chicago, East St. Louis, your town, our town, any town. Any white mob which lynches a black man commits the unpardonable sin. It is a crime against law and civilization. It is a crime against the black race. It is a crime against the white. More especially, it is a crime against the white. There are twice as many Colored folk in the world as there are white. They are increasing more rapidly. They are moving toward solidarity. Load Lothrop Stoddard's new book, "The Rising Tide of Color." While the white race has been soaking Europe with its best blood, Japan has been tightening her grip upon the hordes of Asia. Japan is a yellow nation. But the yellow, the brown, the red, the black, have something in common against the white. What one colored people has done, another may do. In India, in Egypt, in Africa, there is growing bitterness against the white man. Bitterness based upon injustice, and such bitterness is deep. There is no cure for Color, but there is a cure for injustice. That cure is Justice." There is no desire to "strut" and "poke out" about the words of that editorial; there is no spirit of defiance, but there is a cool, sober, solemn warning, that the people of power, and the people in power in America, had better be aroused to the terrible dynamite upon which they are jizzing away the honor, glory and future hope of the land, Lynch Law must GO, or the Nation will Perish! No Nation can live and rosper where there is no respect for LAW and HUMAN HIGHTS. July has furnished a sickly record of mobs and lynchings, assassinations and cold-blooded murder. July, the month that gave birth to the great "Delecaration of Independence," is bathed in the blood of the deeds of the insane mobs. How much longer will the American people let this condition go on with a mild protest? How much longer will it be before the Federal Government steps in and declares "Come What Will, Justice Must Prevail!" How much longer must men, women and children be compelled to literally flee for their lives—as is set forth in the continuous exodus from the South—in order to find a "haven of rest," but now, sad to relate, too frequently, even in the generous North discover fomenting the ugly and damnable germs of riot? How much longer is is to be expected that one-tenth of the nation's population will endure the outrages of "crime against law and civilization?" We speak for these people—all of them—and appeal to the sober judgment of the prudent people or earth, to beetir, be quick or be damned! WINNING TULSA COUNTY TICKF DEMOCRATIC U. S. Senator.

MOTON, PRESIDENT OF TUSKEGEE Institute, in his address delivered at the formal opening of the 17th Annual Session of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools at Baltimore, Md., said among other forceful and striking things, the following: "No decent, self-respecting and educated Negro thinks himself inferior to the white man, I don't. The time has come for the Race to be frank to as well as with each other. Negroes are not permitted to remove garbage from their own back yards in the South and to clean their own front streets, because these are political jobs and Negroes must be kept out of politics. Criminality of Negroes in the South could be reduced 75 per cent by appointment of Colored police, constables and deputy sheriffs. God knows I hate lynching, but if all white men who committed the "unmentionable" crime against Negro women were lynched also, I would not have so much to say about it. There is a difference between justice and fairness. The courts were probably just to Jack Jhonson, had the woman been Colored and Jack Johnson white, it is certain not so much fuss would have been made out of it. Desire of Negroes to ride in Pullmans, to eat in restaurants, to go to Johns Hopkins University is not the desire for social equality, to be with white people, but to ride first-class, to enjoy a good meal and to get the best education. The test of a fine city is not its docks, its wealth or its physical beauty, but the test of a fine city is its ability to deal justly and fairly with its humblest citizen. IT IS AN OLD SAYING that everything is fair in love and war. We are rather surprised to find that one of Tulsa's best known clergymen, the Rev. H. T. S. Johnson, has recently attempted to place the arena of religious controversy in the same catagory as love and war by taking an unfair advantage of an honorable opponent, the Hon. Richard J. Hill. This he did by recently proclaiming by publicity distributed posters that: "Russellism is the Doctrine of the Devil, and Richard J. Hill is his Tulsa Representative." In thus assailing Mr. Hill, the Rev. Johnson gave him no opportunity of being present to speak in behalf of himself. It is well known on the other hand that Mr. Hill has repeatedly expressed the wish to meet any and all of his opponents upon any rostrum, anywhere and at any time for an open and honorable discussion of the doctrines of which he is such an able advocate and exponent. In thus mistreating Mr. Hill, the Rev. Johnson in our opinion has placed himself in alignment with the Devil, rather than with our beloved Christ, who urges us all "To do unto others as we would have others do unto ourselves."

THE OTHER KIND OF STATE GOVERNOR—HOBBY A NORTH CAROLINA NEGHO, charged with assaulting a white girl, was taken from Person County jail and lynched. The next day it was shown indisputably by his white employer that he was innocent, Governor Bickett promptly offered the largest reward legally permissible for the apprehension of each member of the mob. A week later three Negroes, charged with assault, were jailed in the town of Graham. The Governor immediately sent a machine gun company of the State National Guard with an order which should rank well with the famous epigrams in our history which from their school days Americans like to repeat: "Captain Fowler, protect those prisoners at all hazards, and notify the people I have ordered the necessary men and machine guns to shoot straight if an attempt on the life of the prisoners is made." Unfortunately, it was deemed necessary to carry out these instructions fully. A mob formed and the machine gunners killed one and wounded two—but the Negroes were saved, law and order was vindicated, and a new name, that of Governor Thomas W. Bickett, was formally placed on the roster of those who understand their duty and are not afraid to do it. They are none too numerous, these courageous Governors of Southern States. Bickett, Democrat, has ably seconded a similarly brave stand by Governor Morrow, Republican, of Kentucky. These party distinctions have some significance in the South. Meanwhile, there is the other kind of State Executive. In Paris, Texas, two Negroes were burned at the stake for the alleged killing of two white men. The next day the County Sheriff declared that "at least one of the two was not the right one," and that he was doubtful whether the "other was the right party." No arrests have been made or will be, but Governor Hobby promptly relied to a telegram of protest from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that "Lamar County and Texas are amply able to take care of the situation without suggestions from the outside." "I believe the Federal Government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America"—thus Senator Harding in his speech of acceptance. He is right in pointing to Federal control as the best approach. For while a courageous Governor can do much in his State to stamp out mob murder—contrast North Carolina's one lynching to date this year with the seven in Texas—a condition so grave, so inherently destructive of everything that America must stand for, cannot be left to chance manhood in the gubernatorial seat. No passages in Senator Harding's address are more praiseworthy than those dealing with our color problem. If, as we hope, his utterances are sincere and not merely campaign rhetoric and if the Colored people and the country are not to be shamefully betrayed as they were in this, and indeed in other matters, by Woodrow Wilson, Senator Harding should define specifically what he means by saying: "The Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed The foundation of the business is credit.
