White Man to Pen For Stealing Chickens White Man to Pen For Stealing Chickens C. Williams, a white man arrested by the police and charged with stealing chickens, was sentenced to serve one year and one day in the state penitentiary by Judge Redmond S. Cole in district court Wedne-day after the prisoner had pleaded guilty to the charge at his arraignment before Justice H. J. Gray. Williams admitted he stole chickens from W. L. Gholston, 1102 South Rockfort avenue, and H. H. Rowe, 1103 Quincy avenue, the night of October 26, and the court passed sentence in each case, the terms to run concurrently. Miss Nanrle O. Smith the talented and well known hair dresser of 618 East Archer, much to the happiness of her numerous friends and clients has sufficiently recovered from her recent weeks illnes to be able to resume her profession. THE TULSA STAR Doesn't Matter A Heck Says N. Y. Cali, What Kind of Blood Flows Through Harding's Veins, Just So It's Blood Under the caption of "Gutter Politics" the New York Call presents an interesting editorial comment, in a recent issue, on the attempt to fasten the atrocious crime of possessing Negro blood on the distinguished president-elect, Warren Garameli Harding, by certain elements in the Democratic party. The Call concludes that if Senator Harding has the constitutional qualifications to hold the office it doesn't matter a heck whether the "DISGRACE" flows through his veins or whether it don't. It really don't matter. But it makes one fairly weep for the future of the country and the spirit of the democracy which is holding it together when a group of its most precious patriots, with an effrontery dazzling in its particular brilliance, are driven to the exulting necessity to win an election of fastening the outstanding and criminal "DISGRACE" on a candidate for public office who was so debased as to have Negro blood running through his veins. There is nothing of public or of private record that can establish the truthfulness of the charge in Senator Harding's case. When one harks back, however, to the historical fact that Negro slavery was the keystone to the national structure for more than 250 years and held it together until all the questions of internal welfare and domestic policy were in a fair situation of stability, there comes a bump in the throat when he comes face to face with a temper of ingratitude that is as low and mean in spirit as the effort to set up the possession of his blood as a "DISGRACE" during the progress of the recent campaign. This is not the time to discuss in detail this latest matter of "DISGRACE" which has come so pointedly into the aspects of our national life. I will say, though, that it might be well for a 'oud-mouthed contingent of "whites" to put the soft pedal on the "Negro blood coursing through his vein', and turn their very valuable consideration to questions bearing upon the safety of democracy in the land. Remembering Paul Lawrence Dunbar (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Nov. 12. -A Paul Dunbar monument movement has been started in this city. Funds for the purpose have already been started in this city. Funds for the monument have been collected by local enthusiasts and a "white friend" has agreed to duplicate every dollar raised by popular subscription. The Chicago Defender is the local custodian of the fund. Attorney Bell Still Fighting (By The Associated Negro Press) Leavenworth, Kan., Nov. 12.—T. W. Bell, the attorney for the imprisoned Negro soldiers in the federal penitentiary, is working very hard on the case and confidently expects to win. While he has not disclosed his latest pains, he declares that he is confident he will be able to procure the freedom of the accused men. The case will be argued here within a short time. Douglass Insurance Co. Prospers. (By The Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 12.—The Douglass Life Insurance Company is now one of the strongest business ventures of the Colored people in this city. This has been brought about by a big boosting campaign among the Colored themselves. Discrimination on practiced by the white companies was the chief reason for the initiation of the campaign, although the need for giving practical encouragement to Race business ventures also entered lately into the matter. Mrs. W. H. Lilley of $ 307 \frac{1}{2} $ North Elgi, is meeting with considerable success in her efforts to establish a Kindergarten School here for our Colored children. Her labors in this field merit for her the approbation of every parent in Ta'usa and the Tulsa Star wishes the greatest possible success for her. Our Specialty is PRINGTING Weekly Mail Edition Tulsa, Oklahoma Saturday, Nov. 13, 1920 POLITICAL NOTES Official Germany, while not making other than personal statements, is highly pleased over the overwhelming victory of Senator Harding. German looks at it just like we do in the states, that is, that the result of the election is a repudiation of Wilsonism. Germany does not anticipate a separate treaty, and looks forward to the United States taking a prominent part in European affairs. Colored political statisticians in Oklahoma, while spitting tobacco juice up against the red hot stove in the corner grocery may as well have their figures as exact as possible. For instance: With 143 precincts missing Harding was expected to carry the state of New York by the unprecedented plurality of 1,088,629. The total returns with the exception of these precincts gave Harding 1,842,222 votes and Cox 782,692. It is also worth while to note the overwhelming disposition of the American electorate to overthrow Wilsonism by the fact that while Harding carried New York by over a million, yet Judge M3ler the Republican candidate for Governor of the same state, only had a plurality of 75,000 over his Democratic opponent, Gov. Al Smith. The state of Illinois with Chicago the second largest city of the country to help her, gave New York an awfully close chase in giving to the country the greatest majority or plurality for Harding. While New York exceeded a million, Illinois came in with the extraordinary record of 816,000 for Harding. Pennsylvania was a close third with 675,000, and California handed Harding the handsome majority of 500,000. Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan and Minnesota gave over 400,000 each, while Ohio and Wisconsin trailed the procession of big majorites by giving over 350,000. A distinguished and wealthy Colored man in the city of Augusta, Ga., provided in his will that his body be buried standing erect with his face set toward the rising sun. One can feel feebly guess at what was in the mind of the aged Negro when he made this rather unusual provision for his burial. Africa is to the east of us. May not the call of the impenetrable mystery of its beauties, songs and mystic grandeur have turned his spiritual aspirations toward the stretches of our Fatherland? In any event his face is turned toward the east, and his back faces the travail of an existence weak in social creed and frail in structural purpose. What if Africa should be the birthface of the world's genuine Democracy? A Colored prophet is busy warning people that the world will come to an end in 1931. This is important if true. But why should we worry about it? The world will come to an end in 1920, for that matter, for a great number of folks. In my own case 1931 will do just as well as any other time if that is the fate in store for me. The world had a beginning and, in all probability, it will have an end. We had nothing to do with the beginning and we will have just as little to do with the end. Let us live while we can and do good. W. J. Bryan has suggested that President Wilson resign and make way for Harding to begin his term in December. He proposes for Marshall to succeed Wilson and for him to appoint Harding as Secretary of State, and then resign also. This through the laws providing for presidential succession would make Harding president several months ahead of the time for his inauguration. But—there's Wilson. The Republican majority in the U. S. Senate will be fully 20, with 58 Republicans and 38 Democrats. The House will have a comfortable Republican majority of over 100. In the meanwhile Woodrow Wilson will retire to private life on the 4th of March, 1921. Thank heaven. "Just Folks" in the White House (By The Associated Negro Press) Marion, Ohio, Nov. 12. "The wife of President-elect Harding, who has been his constant companion, in commenting on the question, "What will you do when you go to the White House?" made the following reply, "What will I do when we go to the White House? Well, I will describe it best, perhaps, this way. Do you remember on one of the campaign trips and at a big meeting, the speaker introduced Senator Harding and me as 'just folks?' Well, that is exactly what we shall be in Washington—just folks. That isn't any pose; I mean it." Commenting on the statement, one of our citizene said: "There is hope for every one with a spirit of 'just folks' permeating our country. There has been too much class distinction in this land and as a matter of fact we are all 'just folks.'" "MY COUNTRY 'TIS OF THEE" "White Man's Country" Bogie Knocked Out by Overwhelming Majority Sometimes we are called upon to sing, and we do sing. We do not always sing, however, "with a spirit and an understanding." We are a singing people. We sing when our hearts are heavy, and we sing when our hearts are glad. We have given to this nation a marvelous array of "sorrow songs." They breathe the spirit of faith if not of achievement. We are a mighty people, all the records of time prove it, if all the people do not admit it. We are going forward en masse to great times, even though we sometimes feel that we are merely marking time. We are determined to succeed; we will not fail, for our cause is just. All of which is to say—the election of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge marks a new epoch in American history, a new Declaration of Independence. Not only independence of foreign entanglements but independence of action in human justice. Aroused to desperation by overshadowing defeat, Democrats of the North, not the least of whom was Governor Cox, the candidate, himself, resorted to bringing in the Race issue as a last resort. After what has happened, surely it will never be tried again. These mighty patriots, inspired by the unseq fishness of Pat Harrison of Mississippi, proceeded to declare that "This is a white man's country." The silent electorate, in a manner so unmistakable that all doubt is utterly wiped away, proceeded to declare that this is the country of Americans, without regard to race, class or creed. It is a magnificent privilege to be a citizen of a country that has the courage to take such a stand. The American people never fail when actually put to the test. President-elect Harding, backed by the assurance of a marvelous endorsement, will proceed after the fourth of March to be President of the United States. That means he will be President for all the people. President Harding will be Republican in politics, but he will be only American in the administration of the government. But it must be understood that he will be a whole American, and not a half half-hearted American. As President, Mr. Harding will not say: "My fellow countrymen—except. His administration will not be a network of hypocrisy, but a sincere, solemn effort to have our government maintain the highest standard of efficiency and opportunity. As an index to the character of the man, one of the finest came to light when the returns made the election certain. Senator Harding is reported as taking a pad and lead pencil, and writing a statement on the arm of the easy chair in which he was sitting, said among other things: "It is all serious, the obligations are so solemn that instead of exulting I am more given to pray to God to make me able to play my part, and that all those calis to responsibility may meet the aspirations and expectations of America and the world." That sounds really presidential. It has been a long time since we have heard such a fundamental and sincere expression. PERRY SETS FINE EXAMPLE Everybody in Florida Knows He Wanted to Vote (By The Associated Negro Press) Orlando, Fla., Nov. 12—This community furnished one of the black spots of the 1920 presidential election, when July Perry, a citizen of Ocoee attempted to vote, and was denied by the election officers on the ground that he had not paid his pool tax. Perry informed his friends in the community about the matter, and they determined to "look into the cause." As a result at least three whites and one Colored were killed. The whites formed a mob and began to burn down the homes of Colored people in the community. More than twenty buildings were burned. Two of the whites slain were former soldiers, and a large number of whites were seriously injured. Planning Already for Inauguration (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Nov. 12.—With the election over, and a Republican inauguration on in the near future, social Washington has already begun to look forward to the event, which it is believed will be the greatest in the history of the nation. It has been twelve years since the Republicans have had the pleasure of participating in an event of the kind. Committees will be formed and it is expected that the usurp rivalry for supremacy will crop up as in former years. During inauguration, Washington society keeps open house and some of the greatest social functions ever held are being planned. One of the features of the inaugural parade, it is said, will be the appearance of the entire Eighth Regiment of Illinois under comman dof Col. Otis Duncan and Leijut. Col. Patten, both of whom distinguished themselves in the World War. REPUBLICANS KNIFE COLORED CANDIDATES REPUBLICANS KNIFE COLORED CANDIDATES KNOCK OUT DISFRANCHISEMENT FIRST Then Give Best Plums on Tree to Henry, Charley and Bob (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Nov. 12.—What is the next move on the political checker board? That is the question being asked by the laymen everywhere. Naturally, the "fairful" are looking to the East, and the capitol, and the White House for the proverbial "political plums" which forms the menu that makes the game worth while. Immediately following the election when Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Robert R. Church and Charles A. Cottrill who have been in charge of the Chicago Bureau, were asked by the Associated Negro Press for a statement for the public, and the following was given: "The over-whoing vote for the Rpublican party is a victory for unqualified Americanism and means death to mob law and disfranchisement." Therefore, a definite program will be mapped out, in which the co-operation of all organizations throughout the country will be asked, looking to establishing a federal law on lynching, mob violence and bombing. Then a definite way will be worked out through which the citizens throughout the country will be guaranteed the right of suffrage. It is stated on high authority that a majority of the United States senators and a large number of members of the house have pledged their support in behalf of measures of the kind mentioned. With reference to "jim crow cars," it is definitely known that equa accommodations will be demanded and that the railroad will be compelled to provide Pullman accommodations for inter-state passengers. In the matter of appointments there is absolutely nothing definite yet "Four years ago," said one of the national leaders, "a number of us got together and talked over the positions we expected to go after, as soon as Hughes was elected. Our premature efforts proved to be bad luck, and during this campaign nothing was said." This much is known, however, whatever openings are made will be truly representative, and will not necessarily follow along the established lines of former days. The Register of the Treasury, and Recorder of Deeds have gone to the Race for many years back with Assistant Attorney General, Auditor for the Navy in the Treasury Department, a few ministers and collectors of internal revenue thrown in. These will merely be a beginning time, according to expert opinion. CLIFFORD QUITS WAR DEPT. Prejudice and Discrimination Practiced at Washington Compels him to Give up Big Job. Washington D. C., Nov. 12. Lieutenant J. William Clifford, formerly an officer of the 36th Infantry, 92nd Division, A. E. F., but who for the past year has been looking after the interest of Race-ex-service men in the Bureau of War Risk, has tendered his resignation and will give up the great work he has been successful in accomplishing. He was forced to take this step because the higher up officials persisted in limiting his official duties. One of these methods was to deny the privilege of signing his own official correspondence. The Lieutenant also complained of the odious segregation practiced, which was unbearable to a man with any self respect. His official designation was representative of the Colored Soldiers and Sailors in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. During his incumbency of this office Lieutenant Clifford procured several millions in insurance for Colored soldiers. Balked on Colored Players (By The Associated Negro Press) Lexington Ky., Nov. 12—Transylvania canceled its game with Ohio; to be played at Athens. This was due to the protest made by Coach James Park, of Transylvania, against the playing of Colored players by the Ohio institution. The latter refused to keep the players on the side lines for which reason Transylvania refused to meet the team. (By The Associated Negro Press) Enterprise, Ala., Nov. 12—Four children were burned to death here from a gasoline explosion. Three of them were children of Alto Petty and it was at his house, when his daughter, 14, put gasoline in a stove to make a blaze burn faster, thinking it kerosene. Rev. P. C.

NUMBER FORTY-TWO COLORED CANDIDATES Henry Higgins, Cinicennati Wins A Seat in Legislature But Five Others Lose Gevettain, Ohio, Nov. 12.—In the must of the joy over the election of Senator Warren G. Harding there is gloom here and in Continuum over the defeat of all our candidates for the legislature. Out of six candidates in the state only one was elected, Henry triggins of Cincinnati, Ohio. In defeated candidates are Capt. William K. Green, for the senate; marry E. Davis and Samuel E. Woods, for the House, Geerland; itev, G. L. Davis and Attorney trughes of Columbus. It is the opinion of some that white women concentrated against these candidates because the race issue had been put forward by th democrats. If there was any fear that the so-called Beaty civil rights bill would be introduced, making all discrimination in public places a crime, there seems to be little hope for those who do not care for the bill to be introduced. The legislature is overwhelmingly republican, and the Colored voters of the state have sufficient influence and determination to have the bill passed, it is declared. The defeat has only aroused all the Ohio voters to work all the harder for economic justice Some persons are charging the republican organizations in Cleveland and Columbus with double crossing. It is stated that it is very strange that in the republican land slide, only the Colored candidates were defeated on the legislative tickets. Cincinnati, which is known to be more prejudiced than any other city in Ohio, backed its candidate through the organization to success. It is difficult to believe, hoverer, that the Cleveland organization, under Maurie Maschke, who always has bees known to be 100 per cent fair would double cross with Councilman Thomas Fleming and all other leaders. Most anything is expected of the Columbus organization as it has failed to stand the test on other previous occasions. Six Are Held in Vote Fraud Six Are Held in Vote Fraud Three Republicans and Three Democrats Arrested in St. Louis. St. Louis, Nov. 10.—Three Republican and three Democratic precinct election officials were indicted today on charges of having made a false count and return in the state-wide primary election August 3, last. Three of the men were arrested and the other three surrendered. The six men constituted the force of judges and clerks in the Fifth precinct of the Sixth ward, where a heavy Republican vote was polled. The grand jury's investigation was instigated by the "housecleaners," an organization of Republicans which opposed candidates aligned with Missourians whose names were mentioned in the Lowden pre-convention campaign fund disclosures. The "housecleaners" declared their candidates had been "counted out" in the Fifth precinct. The six men denied they had miscounted the ballots. The offense charged against them is a felony. Former Citizen Returns Home Former Citizen Returns Home Mr. Frenchy Smith, an old and well known citizen of Tulsa, affords another illustration: "That There's No Place Like Home." He and his wife, after a tour of the Western states, occupying over six months' time, have returned to Tulsa, and he says that he saw nothing and found nothing in all his travels to draw him and his wife away from Tulsa. He spent part of his time in British Columbia at Van Couver, and about two months at Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Wash.; Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, Cal., were also visited. Mrs. Smith has relatives living in Oakland, Cal., one of them having held a prominent position in the court house for many years. Mr. Smith reports that he did not find colored people engaged in as many commercial pursuits in all the places he visited as there are in Oklahoma. He is glad to be back home. Muskogee, arrived in the city Saturday and was full of his enthusiastic jubilation over the recent victory of Harding and Coolidge. Why When you Why Pay Cash?

Don't for- series and Brown Skin OKLAHOMA ch Night Cents Prof. Johnson Conducts Big Chorus Texarkana, Texas.—One of the largest and most appreciative audiences that ever assembled in this section of the Southwest was that which greeted the big chorus of two hundred voices, presenting "An Evening With Negro Composers," in this city, Tuesday evening, October 19th. The chorus was under the direction of Prof. H. B. P. Johnson of Nashville, Tenn., who ranks among the foremost conductors of the present day. His ability to evolve from a mass of untrained singers, a chorus which in a very short time becomes as responsive to his baton as an aggregation of veteran singers, places him in a class far beyond the average conductor. This was the first time that a program of this sort had been attempted in Texarkana, but so great was the interest, that more than a third of the audience was made up of white people. The program was begun with an anthem, "Let Us All Give Thanks," by J. H. Carter, which was rendered in a style that soon convinced the audience that it was to be given an "evening of music" that it would not soon forget. Other anthems rendered during the evening were "Princes Awake," by William Roseborrough and Nathaniel Dett's "Listen to the Lamb," which was rendered in a style that brought forth round after round of applause from the large audience. Folk songs, art songs and piano selections by Negro composers made up the program which was enthusiastically received by the very appreciation audience. The pastor and Music committee of the First Baptist Church (white) after hearing this chorus, requested that it render a Sacred Concert on the following Sunday evening, at which time nearly a thousand persons were present. This was the first time in history that a chorus of Negro singers had been invited to sing before a white audience in Texarkana, and Prof. Johnson has the distinction of being the first Negro conductor to be so highly honored by the white people of this section of Texas. ```markdown ``` $1.00 A WEEK Opposite Hotel Tulsa Claxton Calle Educational Conference (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C. Nov. 12—A citizens' conference on education of Colored people, has been caked by Dr. P. P. Claxton, commissioner of education at Atlanta. Invitations have been sent to the governors and state superintendents of public instruction of all the Southern states, to the presidents of industrial schools, colleges and universities, to influential business men and to leading men nand women of the South who have shown a deep interest in improving education among 12,000,000 Colored Americans. "The Southern States," says Dr. Claxton, "are spending many millions of dollars annually to improve Colored schools. The amount will no doubt be largely increase." It is important that this money should be used to the best advantage." Two sessions of the conference on education will be devoted to a discussion of the work, conditions and needs of colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts in the South. The discussions will be based on a report by Dr. Walton C. John, specialist in land grant college statistics for the United States Bureau of Education, who is now making a survey of these institutions.

Barber Service THE JUDGEMENT DAY "Because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; wherof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead." Acts 17:31 Since 1878 A. D., everything has been getting ready for the great Judgment Day long spoken of by the Bible. At the time St. Paul wrote the words of the above text the Judgment Day was future because he said so. The preachers in timts past taught the people that the Judgment Day would be a time of terror upon the earth, in which the people would be lined up in a twenty four hour day and most of them sent off to Hell-fire and brimstone, there to endure in some unconceivable way tortures eternal in duration. St. Paul seems to give so such thought in his words. He looked forward to the Judgment Day as a time of great rejoicing and blessing, because he said that it shall be a judgment rightouress by Christ. When once the purpose of the Judgment Day is understood it makes glad the heart and comfort those who mourn. The term Judgment signifies that the person to be judged must have a trial, and at that trial must have a full and fair opportunity, if he is judged righteously. Occasionally there is a man upon the bench, such as Judge Anderson of Bostos, who has the moral courage and the sense of justice to deal as narly right as it is possible for imperfect man to do; but this is the exertion to the rule. When the Lord judges we know that his Judgment will be righteous because he was promised that it shall be. "With righteousness shall he judge the poor." (Isab 11:4) Seldom do the poor get a righteous judgment now. "He shall judge the people with righteousness" —Psalms 72:2 "One day with the Lord is a thousand years and a thousand years is a day". 2d Peter 3:8. Christ shall reign a thousand years—Rev. 20:6. The Judgment, therefore, is the period of Messiah's reign of a thousand years, hence it is called Mellennial, because millennial means a thousand years. The Great Messiah has already taken unto himself his great power to reign, and the Nations have been as are agry just as foretold. Rev. 11:11.18. The Lord is now permitting the wrath of man to break in pieces the present unrighteous order, and when that is gone. "The Government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called wonderful, concelor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6. The first work of this Judgment day will be to deal with the millions of people on the earth. Just before the beginning of that Judgment of blessing according to the words of Jesus, there will be a great Judgment upon the Nations, which is now in progress and of which we shall have more to say later. Following the World War and Revolutionary troubles now on the earth, there will be a great tribulation, "Such as was never since there was a nation and there will never be such a time of trouble again. (Matt. 24:21, 12). The Lord shows us that this time of tribulation and trouble will be shortened in order that many people now living upon earth may be saved and go into death. The purpose on saving them will be to order them Life-Everlasting through God's chosen channel, his life, the Seed according to the promise. Many on these people brought through the time of trouble will be the first ones to experience the blessings of the Hugeneous Judgment of Messiah. "They shall call on my same and I will hear them; I will say, it is my people; and they shall say, the Lord is my God." Zech. 13:3. Jesus gave a picture of the Judgment day, representing the obedient ones as sheep and the disobedient ones as goats. A parable is a dark saying in which figures of speech are used to illustrate a fact. Jesus locates that time the same as St. Paul when he says, "Thes shall he sit upon the Throne of his Glory." (Matt. 25:31.) In other words, Christ will establish the Great Tribunal or Court, before which the peoples of earth will be judged, and this judgment will cover a period of a thousand years. First., those living on the earth at the beginning (Approximately 1925 A. D.) shall be brought to a knowledge of the truth concerning the Ransom Sacrifice which has been provided for them and that under the terms of a new Covenant, which God has made for their benefit, it will be obedient to it they shall be blessed with life, liberty and happiness. Those who, after coming to a full knowledge of the facts, refuse to accept the terms and be obedient to them, are designated by Jesus as goats. A goat has a stubborn, mean disposition, and very well illustrates the class of people who will not be obedient to the law of the New Covenant. To these the Lord will say; "Depart from me, ye cursed, isto everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels. These shall go then into everlasting punishment." (Matt. 25: 41,45) The Devil is not going to eternal torture but will be destroyed. (Heb. 2:14) His angels mean his messengers, those who are in harmony with him, they suffer a similar fate. The ABWAN willfully disobedient, the Goat class, will be a part of his messengers or angels, and these shall go away, be cursed away from the Lord into a punishment that will be lasting; that is to say from which there will be no recovery. The word punishment here means utterly cutting off. The highest punishment known to the law of civilized Nations is death, no civilized Government ever tortures anyone. There is no intimation in this scripture that any of the wicked will go away into cintinous torture, but they do go away into a punishment; that is to say, they are punished with an everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and the Glory of his power. 2d Tines, 1:9. The obedient class, represented as sheep will be taught and lead in the right way, and rendering themselves obedient unto the Lord's arrangement, they will be blessed unto everlasting life, whereas the wicked are punished with everlasting death. To the obedient ones the Lord will say: "Come ye blessed of my Father, innerit the Kingdom (earthly kingdom) prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matt, 25, 34" The meek shall inherit the earth." Psalms 37:11 "The righteous go away into eternal life." (Matt, 25:46) These, the righteous ones, shall be the ones that shall live forever. These are the ones that shall never die, never see death. (John 8:51, John 11:26) There are millions of persons or earth now, who, without doubt will be living when this Judgment day of the earth begins, and when retitution blessings will be offered to them, and they believing the great truths then THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD taught by the Messiah, and obeying them, they shan live forever, in happiness, in joy, in peace. The Lord, through his Prophet describing that Judgment Day, said, "When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness and commiteth sin he shall die. Whes a wicked man turneth away from his wickedness and does that when is right he shan live." (Lzek, 18:26-28) These restitution blessings will come gradually to the people as they obey the righteous teachings of the Messiah. The Lord through his arrangements, will teach the people what to eat, how to eat, how to exercise and above all how to think and act. The healing of the sick and opening the eyes of the blind which Jesus performed when he was upon the earth was samples merely of what the Messiah will do in completeness durisg the Great Judgment Day." Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened and the ears of the deaf shall be un-stopped. Then shall the lame man leap as the heart, and the tongue of the dumb sing." (Isaiah 35:5,6) That will be a happy and glorious time, and when the restitution begins progressed a reasonably way over the high-way of Holliness, they will be preparing for and praying the Lord and expecting him to bring back their beloved dead. They will call ups the name of the Lord and he will hear them. "And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come unto Zion (The Messiah) with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."—Isaiah 35:1,10. Thus the Lord's Prophet beautifully describes how Judgment will bring blessings to the people. Again, the Prophet, beholding this coming day of Judgment and blessing for mankid, ecstasy explained; "Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth; the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved; He shall judge the people righteously. Let the Heavens rejoice, and let the earth be --- glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof. Let the field be joyful and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth; He shall judge the world with righteousness and the people with truth." Psalms 96: 10.13. JAPS RAISE Will Not Recognize Agreem for $400,00 TOKIO, Nov. government will nize the validity greement of Wa The Judge or Court before whom the entire world will be tried during the reign of Christ will consist of Jesus the Head or Chief Justice, and the members of his body, the church, as associate Justices, all of whom will be perfect. Glorious beings. In the carrying out of this arrangement, faithful ones such as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the other Prophets resurrected as perfect human beings, will constitute the earthly representatives. The inflictions of punishments, however, for a violation of the Lord's arrangement, will be direct. If a man shall attempt to break into his neighbor's house the Lord will immediately punish him upon the spot, by striking him blind or paralyzing ris arm. He may be recovered from this, as the scripture show, by prayer and by obedience to righteousness, and after he has been given a full and fair trial and then if he still refuses to make progress, he will be destroyed in the second death from which there will never be another resurrection. But the Scriptures show that he shall have at least one hundred years trial, because as the Prophet states: "There shall be no more thence an infant of days nor an old man that hath not filled his days; for the child shall die an being an hundred years old shall be a curse." (Isaiah 65:20.) Those who AEBWAA obey righteousness and profit by their experience and strive to make progress will be continued in the trial, and the Messian will uplift, and strengthen, and bless them, and infamably bring them back to a state of perfection and happiness. This Great Judgment day must begin as soon as the present evil world completely passes away and Messian's kingdom is in full control of everything. The Jubilee cycles, that we will at sometime in the future clearly set forth, marks 1925 as the date for the beginning of these blessings. And because the Lord has promised to bless those who obey righteousness, and because the time is so near at hand, we can with confidence state that there are millions of people now living on the earth who will never die and go into the grave. This is good news; it is comforting news; it is one of the great doctrines of the Bible—A doctrine which all the Churches and all the preachers should be teaching the people, because it is full time to teach it. This message, when received and understood, binds up the broken hearted and comforts those that mourn, enabling them to look beyond the present vale of tears and see the sunlight of God's love arising, which will soon heal and bless all the obedient ones upon the earth. We are fully aware that not many persons can hear this message now for the reason that they have been stuffed so full of down-right false teachings concerning God's plans that it sounds like some new doctrine; when, as a matter of fact, it is the plain and simple faith and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and his Apostles, which was first delivered to the saints—that is true followers of the Lord. We are only calling the world's attention to the old and true path, from which the most of the people of the world have strayed. The cause of all this is by the selfish and ignorant preachers Aelling the people everything concerning God's plan but the truth. By Bricaud L. Hill. By Richard S. Hill. JAPS RAISE OBJECTIONS Will Not Recognize Vanderlip Syndicate Agreement With Soviet for $400,000 Mile Lease TOKIO, Nov. 6—The Japanese government will refuse to recognize the validity of the reported agreement of Washington Vanderlip on behalf of an American syndicate with the soviet government of Russia, whereby the Vanderlip syndicate obtains a lease hold on 4000,000 square miles of Russian territory, including Kamchatka. In an interview with the Japanese foreign office today with the position of the government was set forth as follows: "The soviet government of Russia has not been recognized by the world powers. The Japanese government does not feel bound to take cognizance of any private agreement entered into by the soviet authorities or whoever may be parties thereto. The Japanese government is further unprepared to assent to any act or measure infringing on Japan's treaty rights with Russia. NO PROTEST BY JAPS YET Predictions Premature, Says Special I. I. N. S. Correspondent BY DUKE I. I. N. PARRY. ---- I. N. S. Staff Correspondent. TOKIO, Nov. 5 — Information from official sources today indicated that predictions that the Japanese government will immediately protest the action of California in passing the anti-Japanese land law to the United States government are premature Japan, it was learned from an authoritative source, has thus far decided to rely for a solution of the question upon the conversations now in progress in Washington between Secretary of State Colby and Japanese Ambassador Shideshara. GOMPERS VISION 'DANGER' Says He Thinks Movement Is on Foot to Undermine Organized Labor NEW YORK, Nov 6—Samuel Gompers, in presenting an American Federation of Labor charter to the newly organized Central Trades and Labor Council of Greater New York, this afternoon, exhorted members to conduct themselves in a manner befitting the high standards of organized labor. Mr. Gompers asserted that "reaction has jumped into the saddle" and that he believed an organized movement is on foot by big business to undermine labor. St. Louis Sends Colored Man To State Legislature ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov 13—For the first time in the history of Missouri a Colored man has been elected to the legislature of this State. He is Walter Moore, republican nominee who was elected by a substantial majority to represent the so called "silk stocking" district of this city. While one ward in the district is almost entirely Colored, it is believed there that the vote of white women elected Mr. Moore. AMERICAN LEGION TO BOOST "T-B" CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE Oklahoma City, Nov. 12.—With the annual Tuberculosis Christmas Seal sale less than three weeks away the American Legion has gotten into the harness to enable Oklahoma to make it a success again. H. B. Fell of Ardmore, department commander of the Legion, has written a letter to Jules Schevitz, general secretary of the Oklahoma Public Health association, pledging his support to the sale. "Those of us who are to some extent aware of the wonderful work you are performing realize fully the great need of a continuance on at least as large a scale as in the past," says his letter. The representative of the U.S. Public Health service at Oklahoma Public Health me thathe cooperation given him by the Oklahoma Public Health association has always been of the most hearty character, and I have also been informed that you have cooperated in a very successful manner with the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and the Federal Board for Vocational Education. "The Oklahoma Public Halth association has been of great assistance to the sick and disabled ex-service men and its work should be greatly appreciated by the ex-service men and citizens of the state. Theonly manner in which their appreciation can be fully shown is through their support of the Tuberculosis Christmas Seal sale, and I trust that the sale will be more successful than any which you have had in the past. I intend to bring this matter to the attention of the various matter to the attention of the various out, the state, and request them to indorse the same." FREE!

It is not enough to send half a dozen admirals and major generals investigating, with the inevitable result of more or less white-washing reports. The important question is, what shall be American policy toward the Carribean republics whose independence we have taken from them and whose government is now in the hands of the United States Marine Corps? Investigation there must be, and consequently punishment but the investigation should be made by Congress and not by interested parties, and the punishment must not be confined to isolated cases of boys, who, taking from their superiors the current attitude of contempt for the natives, were guilty of excesses such as have in all times characterized all armies of occupation lording it over a suppressed people.

It will take a broad-minded committee of the ablest men in Congress—men without color prejudice—to study the question in its largest aspect. There must be no such hasty generalization as characterized that bold Congressional committee which reported on conditions in the virgin coast after spending thirty hours there! if such a committee is not appointed by Congress in its coming session the Republicans will convict themselves of having exploited the agony of a subject people merely for campaign material. Haitians have indeed rejoice that their case has at last come be that their case has at last come be world. The Nation is proud of its share in bringing this about. Publicity is of valut to the Haitians only as a first step toward their independence which it is now America's solemn duty to guarantee effectively and for all time as a pledge of our good faith and as partial atonement for our dastardly assault upon it. The United States must retire from Haiti at the earliest possible moment. Meanwhile it is our clear duty to repair the damage done, to indemnify the innocen twiets of wanion brutality, to aid in restoring the government we have demolished and to re-establish the economic and financial structure of the country. While never solid the economic status of Haiti has in no wise been strengthened and in many respects it has been weakened by the exploiting interests which have sought to entrench themselves under cover of our occupation. Our first step should be the withdrawal of our military and naval forces. It is a question of course, whether such withdrawal can be suddenly. The course of military rule, as has been shown all over the world, is that it leaves anarchy and upheaval in its wake. If the United States withdraws its troops suddenly from a country whose stiff governing functions have been atrophied for five years and whose people have been made resentful by cruel oppression, grave disorders might conceivably follow. In fact there are ugly rumors that those desirous of maintaining our illegitimate hold upon Haiti perma nently, plan some such course in order to justify prompt reoccupation. But no such consideration should for a moment obscure the necessity of declaring in unmistakable terms our purpose of withdrawing within a definite and comparatively short period of time—three to five years at the utmost—and of utilizing the interval for intelligent reconstruction. We did it in Cuba; we can do it again. It should be our pride to do so. last come be proud of its is about But the Haitians toward their it is now to guaran- Red V it again.

The task of reestablishing civil government should be entrusted to joint commissions of Americans and Haitians or Dominicans; and after the years in which we have sent "deserving Democrats" and parish politicians to the unhappy island, the naming of the American members would give opportunity to restore our reputation in Latin-America. There should be both white and Colored Americans among them. Such a joint commission could proceed to the task of holding municipal or local elections, then provincial, where such are in order, and finally to the election of new national assemblies which could replace the caprice of martial law and "executive order" with republican administration. Meanwhile the commission, callisg on the best talent available, should make a thorough survey of Haiti's resources and potentialitits, and have the reconstruction program on facts, scientifically established by competent and careful experts. There is more than this. The Haitian-American treaty forced on an unwilling Haitian Assembly, must be denounced; the new Constitution, passed under the aegis of American military rule with its special provisions designed to facilitate American business, should give way to the old rule of Haiti for the Haitians.

Late in the spring it was found that due to an embargo there was little motor fuel on hand for erat~ tors and trucks and that plowing could not be completed, Farmers: used a distillate, a lower grade of gasoline, for tractors anl for ope- rating the combined headers and thrashers with which the grain crops are harvested. Distillate was found to be entirely out of the market. The county agent appealed to several California refining Com- panies, and, with the aid of Cali- fornia State Marketing Bureau, suc- ceeded in having about 25 carloads of distillate shipped into the region The orders of farmers were pooled and banks were instructed to honor demands on account of ‘those in the pool. The first ship- ment of 12 carloads, or 100,661 gal- lons, were distributed among 111 farmers in May and saved them 39,060. During June two more cars and July eight more cars were dis- tributed making a total of 285,851 gallons of fuel. It is estimated that |the entire savings totaled at leas $15,000. During the month _ of iJune similar service was given ifarmers by couny agents in Mor tow, Sherman and Wasco Counties lin these three counties a total of 1195,000 gallons of distillate wer "secured and distributed at a grea } saving.

He closed with these words: "Personally, I think well of Rev.

What is the truth in the case? Rev. J. J. Ross has a transcript of the testimony of Mr. Russell in the court of Hamilton, Canada, and he says that Mr. Russell admitted under oath that he had never attended school but seven years, that he left school when about fourteen years old, that he did not know even the Greek alphabet; was not, therefore, familiar with the Greek language, had never taken a course in philosophy, systematic theology, and never attended any of the higher schools of learning. When Mr. Russell's attention was called to the published statement of Rev. J. J. Ross, he replied in Bible Students' Monthly, Vol. 6, No. 5. These are his words: "As respects my education in Greek and Hebrew, not only do I not claim very special knowledge of either language, but I claim that no --- Remember THE PLACE 126 E. 1st Street Remember THE PLACE 126 ast 1st Street PAGE SEVEN one minister in a thousand is either a Hebrew or Greek scholar. To be able to spell out a few Greek words is of no earthy value. Nor is it necessary any longer to study these languages in order to have knowledge of the Bible. Our Presbyterian friends have gotten out at great cost Young's Analytical Hebrew, Chaldaic, Greek and English Lexicon Concordance, which any one may procure. And our Methodist friends have issued a similar work—Strong's Analytical Concordance and Lexicon. And there is a still older one entitled Englishman's Hebrew, Chaldaic, Greek and English Lexicon and Concordance, Additionally Liddell and Scott's Lexicon is a standard authority. The prices of these are not beyond the reach of the average man. By these works, scholarly information respecting the original text of the Bible is obtainable. I have all four of these works and have used them faithfully. Very few college professors would risk to give a critical translation of any text of Scripture without consulting these very works of reference, which are standard. To merely learn to read the Greek and Hebrew without a six years' course in their grammars is more likely to hinder than to help in Bible study; far better to take the acknowledged scholarship to which I have referred." In the above Mr. Russell does not only confess that he is not a Greek and Hebrew scholar, but he makes the further confession that Presbyterianism and Methodism are far superior to himself from the standpoint of scholarship. Yet Mr. Hill would have the public turn away from accepted truth by these sources of scholarship which the founder of his cult says are standard and swallow the vagaries of Russellism. When Mr. Russell by his own confession disqualifies himself as scholarly authority would it be wise for us to let Mr. Hill persuade us that he is? Mr. Hill pays the newspapers to pahlish him as "The great International Bible student," when he does not know a single law of interpretation. At he knows scripturally, has been learned from Mr. Russell's interpretations of the Bible. He slavishly copies from Mr. Russell's writings, publishes the same over his signature and expects an intelligent public to regard him as the great International Bible student. If Mr. Hill is so well informed and I am so ignorant, why did it take him a whole month to complete his rebuttal to what I said at Convention Hall, when he had as much time as I did and the advantage of closing the debate? And in his final rebuttal a month after the debate he is unfair. He writes as though the only scripture reference I could find to support eternal punishment was Mark 16:16, when it was only one of many given. Get your Bible, dear reader, and consult God's words according to the following references, namely: Matt. 18: 12, 10:28 12:32, 16:27-28, 18:9, 23:33, 25:41, 25:46 John 5:28:20, Acts 24:15, Cor. 5:10, 2 Thes. 1-6:10, 2 Peter 3:7. These are only a few of the many scriptures which prove there is a hell—a place of eternal punishment. As a finale, if you would know whether a person or institution is of God, you can always judge by observing whether or not that person or institution endorses those things which help the cause of God on earth. Does Russqism do that? Nay, verily. Russelism has nothin gbut the kindest things to say about the people and institutions whose work is opposed to right and righteousness and they exhaust their vocabulary in the use of severest terms with which they denounce the church denominations and the Christian ministry. "If by their fruits ye shall know them" Russelism is the servant of the devil. H. T. S. JOHNSON, Pastor Wesley Chapel, M. E. Church OKMULGTE NEWS NOTES Judge D. J. Wallace, V. Z. Hays, ably assisted by Mrs. J. B. Key and Mrs. J. M. White, are largely responsible for the republican victory last Tuesday. They got a large Colored vote which carried the county for the G. O. P. Mr. S. A. Maxey, a prominent citizen of Paris, Texas, spent the week end in our city. He was greatly impressed with our town. Dr. T. V. Kidd, pastor of Shorter Chapel A. M. E. Church, returned from annual conference at Claremore Monday. Rev. Kidd and his members have succeeded in freeing their church from debt. He made a round report and was returned as pastor for another year. Okmulgee is justly proud of this Christian gentleman. Dr. S. S. Jones delivered two able sermons at the First Baptist Church Sunday. The citizens of Okmulgee received first hand information of the inter-racial conference in Texar kana, Texas, Dr. Jones having taken an active part in the meetink. Oklahoma is proud of Dr. Jones. He is a fearless, safe and sane Race leader who knows no compromise. The final rally at the Mt. Olive Presbyterian church closed Sunday night. Rev. Williams and members succeeded admirably. A Y. M. C. A. for Okmulgee is very much needed. It is rumored that a call will be issued soon for a meeting to iron out plans for the same. The foot ball game between Okmugee and Muskogee resulted in a score of 8 to 7 in favor of Muskogee. Mrs. Mattie Key Hessing and Mrs. B. A. Nance attended the A. M. E. conference at Claremore last week. Dr. and Mrs. A. G. Wallace have returned from Kansas City. Miss Nannie Day, a member of the Dunbar faculty, is on the sick list this week. Miss Nell Leftridge, also a member of the Dunbar faculty, was on the sick list last week but was at her post of duty this week. Miss E. L. Dean visited the Misses Ross and Leftridge Sunday. Mr. C. C.

This is the man you ought to be, and the man you ean be if only you hoid this pietare firmly in your mind and strive todo as be would oat all times. All through life, from our childhood hours of “make-believe” this ideal is struggling tor recognition, Right at chis very moment + is callng to you, begging you to wake up and vealize your great possibilities, "= ab Sit down, right now, and take a look at this, your better self!

Would he quit in the presence of hardship, or run in the faee of impending danger? Would he shirk, siall or grumble or put off today's work to smn: “tomorrow,”’ which never comes? Would he be diseourteous, ungentlemaniy, unkind or meen i Would he over-eat, over-drink, oversmoke, or over-indulge in Aily Hung which would make him less e"fieient, less valuable, less service: able, cither mentally or physieally ?

And Tam equally sure that you know that he would do everything in his power to live a clews, fall, useful life, whieh brings success, He would never for a single moment, in his work, in his study, o in his play, do a single thing which might swerve him from his decer. mined eourse or wreck his hopes. He would “watch his step,’ keeping his objective ever in view wecting difficulties or reverses bravely, learning from each failure. and growiilg stronger with each obstacle surmounted, He would be tre to his employer, true to bis trade, true 10 his ‘Mow men, and trie to himself, dust such a man as this ix your ideal.

A beantifnl painting, a poem, a bridge, or a mechine—each must first he thought out, and then worked out, The artist, the poet, the engineer, or the inventor may experioné a hundred failures before he attains perfection, and finally gives to the world, in material form, his idea worked out.

By FORMER CONGRESSMAN CLYDE H. TAVENNER. principally to the fact that in the Jones law Ameriea gave the Filipinos her word of honor that as soon as a stable government could be establish- ed we would withdraw our sovereignty from the Philippine Islands. It might, at first thought, seem ‘strange that in thelr sincere appre- clation of all that we have done for them the Filipino people should place most emphasis on the promise to grant them their independence. For {t can. not be successfully denied that on the whole the United States has treated the Filipino people better than any ution ever treated @ dependent allen people in all the days since the curtain rose on the dawn of civilization. If we do ot spoil it, it is @ record Uat we can be proud of. But it really isn't so strange that the Filipino should love us more for our promise to give them sovereignty over themselves thun for our other good works, for which, after all, out- side of army and oavy expenditures, the Filipinos have been taxed, and properly 0, for every cent of the cost. If we but reverse the situation, and place ourselves in the shoes of the Filipinos, which eannot be said te be an unfair way of getting at the other fellow's viewpoint, we sbsil see that {t ts not strange. Suppose that Great Britain or any other power that you can think of by re- ferring to your geography or history, should impose its sovereignty upon us against our will and then give us an infinitely better government than we now enjoy? Could any such foreigr power ever succeed in convincing 4. that it bad our welfare more at beart than we have ourselves. But to return to my story, the Fill- pinos heartily thanked us for the Jones law, considering tt a sort of a covenant between the Filipino and American peoples, and tnwediately applied themselves to the task of set- ting up the prescribed stable govern. ment. And they set it up. It ts in the Philippines now. America’s own represen(ative ty the istands, (he gov- ernor general, officially reports it is there, and recommends that since the Filipinos aave earnestly fultitled their part of the agreement, America should be as prompt in carrying out its part of the contract. So that, in a few words, It is not the Philippines that now are on trial, but the United States. ‘There ts but one answer. America will carry out its agreement And since we are going to do it, we cannot afford to quibble and split bairs und hesitate until our tardiness robs us of half the glory of our achievement. Let us act with @ promptness and will- ingness really worthy of America. And when the people of the United ‘States set up the Philippine Republic as the first Christian democracy of the Far East, they will be building a monument to themselves that will stand throughout eternity, On that day the beacon light of hope, humanity and justice will Mash rround the world. Such an example by America will ac- complish more for the weak and strug- gling peoples of the earth than the [four year world war, with all 1s cost ip life and treasure. pe sitistied with less, Not that we would find any special delight in riding with white people, nor that we care for the «lispleasure some of them might find in riding with us; but because we want 10 feel that we are men and citizens of this great country which boasts of its love for human liberty and justice to all men, ‘The republi- cans have led us to believe that the democratic party stood opposed to these principles while they stood out in bold relief ready and will ing to guarantee us a full and complete enjoyment of our citizenship rights if they could only get in power again. Upon this promise, or the hope of its fulfillment, the Colored people of this country: have Virtually put the GO. Pin the saddle and now they are anxiously awaiting results, So far as the Tulsa Star is concemed, we have but little faith in republican promises, We have learned too much of polities and poli- ticians on the republican side of the fence to expect them to keep their pre-election promises. We know, or believe very strongly, that they will do little or nothing 0 adjust conditions favorable to Us as a race IN common with ether citizenship groups of the country ; that their policies concerning us will be just as it has been in the past But there are millions of our group who have accepted at face value the alluring promises of republican candidates and believe, or pre- tend to believe, that great benefits will come to the Race as n result of the recent. election, It is to these people that the republican party is indebted and to whom it must answer for its stewardship. They have won-—now will they make goad! Let us wait and see, eee weston! “‘REPROACH TO INTELLIGENCE’ MR. HARDING'S ancestry does not interest us in the least, It may be the true, as eynies say, that Harding's election proves the truth of the old American adage that ‘tany boy born in Ameriea may become President,’’ but whatever the unpleaant truth of poli ties, the only test of a Presidential candidate ought to be his fitness for the office as proved hy his own record. ‘Thes seandalons under- handedness of the whispering campaign of the Demoerats, and the indignation of the Republicans et the suggestion that their eandi- date might haye Negro blood in hiy veins, only prove the spurious- ness of all their protestations of belief in equal rights for black and white, It isto the credit of the World’ that alone among the New York newspapers it spoke out in this. matter declaring that there was in the story ‘nothing that reflects in the slightest degree upon his (Harding's) character or his capacity.” It is a reproach to the intelligence of the American people that a trace of black The 10,500,000 inhabitants of the Philippines are practically unani- mous in their de sire for independ ence. This ts the strongest Impres- ston that I have brought back with me after touring the Islands from one end to the other, and after ects tate a EN 2 contact with all classes of the people. I found, however, that the viewpoint ef Americans in the Philippines, and Americans in the United States, on the subject. of independence, is not the sume. ‘The attitude of the American gov- ernment, and the great mass of the people of the Cnited States, Is to con- sider the Philippine question from the unselfish viewpoint of what Is best for the Filipino people Ninety-five per cent of the opposition to, inde- pendence emanates trons Ameri¢an Ine vestors tn the ishinds who are quite haturally more interested In the size of their dividends than the freedom of an allen people ‘The unfortunate feature of the stt- uation 18 that the opponents of inde pendence, in order tu convince the peo ple of the United Stites thar the Fill: pinos should not be granted thelr in dependence, find it necessary to bel fn entire race. To tell a sensitive Christian people tat they shill not have their promised independence be- fause they are not fit for it will in the end prove a mistaken policy It Will only make their demund for in tependence the stronger At the present time, however, the masses of the Filipino people still have absolute confidence tn the good faith of America ‘Thelr loyalty and gratitude to Uncle Sam hus not as yet been impaired by the misrepre- fentations of the retentionists ‘Tiseir Jeaders are intelligent euough to dis Unguish between those Americans who oppose their aspirations to tn dependence for purely seltish reasons, wad the great mass of the Americao people whom they know desire this government to do by the Pilipinas only that whieh is just and right. In this connection, it ts interesting to review the development of the pres: ent friendly relationship between the Filipino and American peoples. Previous to 1916 the Philippine- American relationship Is declared to have been not of the best, But with rhe passage in that year of the Jones saw by practically both the Republican and Democratic memberships of Con- gress, a better feeling developed. ‘This “better feeling” has now grown into a very strong bond of sympathy and affection. ‘The happy attitude of the Filipino people toward America is due uot prin. cipally to the fact that Amescans have shown the Filipinos how to make thelr country # better place to live in; not principally to the fact we bave superintended the implanting in (he Philippines of oue of the finest edu- cational systems in the world; nor to ithe building of high class roads, ‘eridges and public works—but is due blood should be a bar to wny job, offire, or position for whieh the ea. pacity of a man fits him, and it is moreover, a crime ayains: the very soul of our institutions and our democracy to talk of the suggestion of Negro blood n anyone’s veins as an unspeakable disgrace,’ “—The “Nation.”" A SUMBAR UF Ne WSPAPERS have stated that Harding's electoral vote was the largest ever given a president-elect in the his- tory of this country, but these statements are made either from er- ror or ignorance, As a matter of reeord, Woodrow Wilson in 1912 received 445 electoral votes, while Roosevelt received 88 as the Pro- gressiy candidate and ‘lait, who ied the republican ticket, received only 8.
