EDUCATIONAL BRIGHT LIGHTS ILLUMINATE STAR OFFICE Oklahoma Colored Teachers' Association Draws Hundreds of Leading Intellectuals to Throng Tulsa's Streets. Thursday, otherwise known as Thanksgiving Day, was indeed a big gala day for the Tulsa Star office. If it were possible, we could enjoy having the Colored Teachers' Association to meet every day in the year, for certainly never before was the Tulsa Star editorial sanctum honored and illuminated by so many radiant, beautiful an intellectual personages as on that day. Tulsa has had quite a number of big days during the past year, but it can be said truthfully that never before were Greenwood and Archer streets thronged with so large a number of beautiful women, both young and middle aged. The Teachers' Association sessions attracted the teachers from all over the state and the intense rivalry between the football teams of Tulsa and Muskogee drew hundreds of boys and girls—a train load of them—from the latter city, The Muskogee delegation headed by Booster Brown of the J. W. Adams Co., and a brass band, celebrated their advent by a spectacular parade from the Midland Valley Depot, via Elgim, to the Stradford Hotel corner. Through the courtesy of Editor Dungee of the Black Dispatch, the Star office was first made radiant by the presence of a bevy of lovely Oklahoma City intellectuals, the Misses Geo. Ella Cage, Iphegenia Randolph, Onnie Simmons, Luella Lawson and Mrs. Lucy Winslett. Another group which graced the portals of the Star, each one of whom seemed to have been abundantly favored with beauty of form and facial contour and with eyes from the depths of which brilliant mentality sparkled was headed by Mrs. L. L. Sawner, principal of the Chandler Schools, and was made of her talented corps of assistants, namely: the Misses Bolton and Harreld, and Mrs. A. C. Perdue, and Miss Green, the well known beauty culturist of Wewoka, Okla. And as if the Goddess of Beauty had thrown open her gates to storm Tulsa, the above welcome visitors were followed by Prof. and Mrs. C. B. Bryant and Miss Haskins, of Luther, who were accompanied by the Miss Freda Riley and sister of Muskogee. The hustling metropolis of Boley contributed its quota in a highly representative delegation composed of Prof. R. E. Isler and the Misses Mattie Glaze, Willie Cavill and Ethyl White. Prof. L. J. Umstead, principal of Enid schools, and his Manual Training Assistant, Prof. W. B. Paxton, a St. Louis product, also called at the Star office. Professors I. S. White of Red Bird and J. W. Gray of Balisah, were thrice welcomed, as they renewed their subscriptions during their call. Mrs. T. A. Castle, general superintendent and manager of the Widows and Orphans' Home at Boley, was a welcome visitor and gave the Star a nice order of printing. Mrs. Castle is doing excellent work in her special field. The Manual Training High School football team of Muskogee defeated the Booker Washington team of Tulsa in a fast game yesterday, the score being 7 to 0. The Muskogee boys were accompanied by a band and about 300 rooters. A white team from Muskogee eyed scores with the Kendall team here yesterday, the score being 7 to 7. --- A Fearies Exponent of.

VOLUME X INTER-RACAL CONFRENCE ORGANIZED ALEXANDER OF GEORGIA DE LIVERS THRILLING SPERCH Inter-Racail Conference Draws Over Five Hundred Delegates, But Very Few White. Oklahoma City, Nov. 23.—The Inter-Racial Conference held in the State House here today may be put down as one of the most remarkable gatherings ever had between its walls, as it marked the first attempt to bring representatives of the colored and white people of the state together to confer upon ways and means to promote inter-racial harmony and peace. The meeting had been called by Governor J. B. A. Robertson, who had authorized county judges to appoint delegates both white and colored to attend the conference. That the efforts of Gov. Robertson to thus ameliorate the many conditions which promote discord were appreciated by the colored citizens of the state was shown by the fact that fully fifty counties were represented in the conference by over five hundred well known colored men, but sad to relate the white citizenry was largely conspicuous by its absence. The Tulsa county delegation was composed of Messrs. J. W. Hughes, S. D. Hooker, J. R. Garrett and A. J. Smitherman. Other representatives of the race from various portions of the state were as follows; J. C. Johnson, Seminole county; G. W. Cary, Logan; J. O. Spencer, Nowata; W. E. Day and Dr. Humphrey, Creek; N. J. Caesar and Dr. Brooks, Shawnee; D. J. Wallace and J. C. Evans, Okmulgue; L. S. Simmons and W. S. Peters, Okfuskee; J. H. Lilley and J. H. Roberts, McAlerest; G. W. F. Sawner, Chandler; Revs. T. M. Greene and S. S. Jones and R. E. Stewart and Phillip Lewis, Muskogee, and many others whose names the reporter was unable to secure. Arrangements in order to cut down lengthy discussions upon the floor had bee made providing for each county delegation to have one spokesman, and each speakers' time was limited. This arrangement necessitated the calling of roll of counties alphabetically and deferred until a late hour in the proceedings the speeches of delegates, which were pertinent and really worth while. Governor Robertson delivered a short but soul-stirring speech during which he said: "A lyncher is a worse menace to a democratic form of government than a bolshevist who goes about waving a red flag and throwing bombs." The Governor referred to the two recent lynchings at Tulsa and Oklahoma City and deplored the results of the investigations. Hearty applause greeted his statement that neither the Negroes nor the whites want social equality. He insisted that they should have equality as citizens and that the two races should seek to understand each other's problems by taking their point of view. R. E. Stewart of Muskogee and G. W. F. Sawner of Chandler made interesting talks. The speech of W. W. Alexander, a white man of Atlanta, Ga., proved to be the most thrilling utterances delivered at the conference and on account of the absolute truthfulness and deep heartfelt enthusiasm evinced by the speaker. It was by all odds of the greatest value to all concerned in the conference. Mr. Alexander told of over 700 inter-racial commissions which had been inaugurated in the Southern states and which were doing exceedingly good for both races. He pointed out especially that the white woman was not the bar between the races in the matter of promoting inter-racial harmony, and declared that recently four hundred white women of the South had gathered at Memphis, Tenn., and had sought to find means for removing the causes of discord and unhappiness existing in that section. The talk of Mr. Alexander will live in the hearts of his hearers for many a long day and will be productive of much good in Oklahoma. Oklahoma City Nov. 24.

Leavenworth, Kans. Nov. 25. Jack Johnson, former heavy-weight boxing titleholder, made his first ring appearance in the United States since he tied his native country seven years ago, when he met two opponents this afternoon as a feature event of a boxing show staged in the open air, at the federal prison here. It was the general opinion of newspapermen and boxing critics at the ringside that Johnson is in very good condition and still retains much of his cloverness and punching power. Johnson knocked out Frank Owens, of Chicago, a negro, in the last round of a six-round boxing bout, and after a few minutes' intermission, took on a fresh opponent in the person of "Topeka Jack" Johnson for four rounds. "Topeka Jack" Johnson for four rounds. "Topeka Jack" was badly outboxed. In the first bout, Owens, who weighed around 230 pounds, was knocked down twelve times, his ox-like bulk hitting the canvas seven times in the sixth round. The final punch, a terrific left hook to the jaw, sending him down and out. The tour rounds with "Topeka Jack" Johnson, also a negro, was a sparring match. "Topeka Jack" is clever and about the former champion's size. At times he set a fast pace, but Jack, too, speeded up and gave a clever exhibition of blocking and hitting. Johnson found time in the clinches to exchange quips with ringers and his famions "golden smile" flashed over his opponent's shoulder, was much in evidence. In both bouts, regulation fighting weight gloves were used and the rounds were of three minutes each with a one-minute interval between rounds: Two thousand prisoners witnessed the bout. WOULD EDUCATE COLORED CITIZENS OF THE SOUTH Atlanta Conference Is Discussing Ways and Means. Atlanta, Ga.—State governors, legislators, college professors and citizens of several southern states attended a conference opening here Friday. It was called by Dr. P. P. Claxton, federal commissioner of Education, to discuss Colored schools. The federal government is contributing a portion of millions now spent annually on schools for 12,000,000 Colored, most of whom live in southern states. Appropriations for this purpose soon will be increased, Dr. Claxton pointed out in calling the conference. A general survey of education of Colored people based on a report by Dr. Walton C. John of the U. S. Bureau of Education, will be used as a basis of discussion by the conference. Tulsa hotels were crowded to the walls during Teachers' Convention, and many homes were thrown open to welcome the visitors.

Who Murdered These People? Man And Woman Found Dead Are Thoufht to Be Victims of Foul Murderous Plot. Persons familiar with poisons who saw the bodies of Merton White and Jessie Washington Colored who died so mysteriously last week believe that the deaths were the results of arsenic or strychnine poison administered either accidentally or purposefully. As no poison was found in the room it was supposed that the deaths occurred thru the fiendishness of some one in the nearby vicinity. Merton was an uncle of Jessie Washington. An inquest was supposed to have been held over the bodies but for some unknown reasons the findings of the inquest have never been made public. Prof. C. B.

Los Angeles Calif. Nov. 27—Wm Pickens the noted Negro scholar and orator is addressing large mixed audiences in this section of the country and incidentally taking note of the social and economic problems which are holding the special interest of the people all along the Pacific Coast line. He has been accorded a heavy reception wherever he has appeared and his opinion on public questions have been eagerly sought. In a recent interview he has this to say on the "Japanese Question" as it appeared to him: "Yoh must have noticed that when one is prejudiced against you your very virtues becomes vices in his sight. As an outsider I have been interested to note the "accusations" which the white man of the Pacific Const naively makes against the Japanese.' "I have heard them complain as I rode with them on the trains that the Japs have all the business in such and such a little coast town—that they cater in some places—that their restaurants sell more food for the same money than any white restaurant (think how a white restaurant would be praised if this could be said of it)—that they make more out of leased acreage than the whites can make out of farms which they own—that they anxious to get land—that they stick together!—and that pretty generally they show a disposition to thrive where the white man fails. May Allah and Odin and the God of the Christians save all the Colored races from the virtues which the Medieval atavists of the white race would like to see other races endowed with. Mr. Pickens will be in California for several weeks and will make a number of addresses in many of the large cities in the central section of the state.

The financiers are perplexed and disturbed; likewise the business men and the spirit of discontent daily grows worse; the content of humanity caustoring for their rights and the classes persisting in holding on for theirs. In fact we are in the time described by Jesus when he said: "Upon the earth distress of Nations with perplexity; men's hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming upon the earth." (Luke 21:25-26) All these things are evidences of the fact that the old world is ending and is now passing away, preparatory to the establishment of Messiah's kingdom of righteousness, and the time is at hand and those obeying righteousness shall have the opportunity to be resorted to life everlasting here upon earth. But before these blessing will come to man the fiery trouble must burn itself out. The Prophet of the Lord described the final climax in these words: "For He (the Lord) commanded and ranseth a stormy wind (great trouble which lifteth up the waves (the people) thereof. They mount up to Heaven, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man, and are at heir wits end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble and He brings them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm one (ends the troublesome times) so that the waves (resless elements) thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so Ht bringeth them unto their desired Heavon.'—Psalms 107:25-v0. But many persons seeing this approaching climax may inquire, what must we do now? Shall we give away our land and abandon it? Our answer is no; that would be foolishness and would serve to no good purpose probably the one who got it would make less use of it than you. If we be in business or manufacturers, shall we attempt to gourge people and make all the money we can quickly to save it for this troublesome time? If we own houses shall we put the rent as high as we can and get some money while it is easy to get? Our answer to this would be no. Money or wealth accumulated under such circumstances would be of no value. He that oppresses the poor will not be in an attitude to receive the favor of the Lord. There is a promise made to those who will deal fairly and honestly with the poor. It reads, "Blessed is he that considereth the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth (not in Heaven); and thou will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies."—Psalms 41:1-2. Following the scriptural advice, then instead of grinding the poor or oppressing them the proper attitude would be to pay reasonable wedge or a share in the prophets or else not hire any one to labor for you. If you have a large amount of property more than you need and have an opportunity to aid somebody else then it would be your privilege to alleviate the sufferings of others who are unable to help themselves and especially them to get a knowledge of God's wonderful Plan of Salvation. Another will ask shall I abandon business altogether quit doing anything and just wait until the Lord's King dom is established? Our answer would be no; if you are gifted in talents along one line pursue the line in an honest way doing a much good as possible to your neighbor and to your fellow countryman. The great trouble with the world today is that it is running on a depraved basis of selfishness and inutter disregard of the liberties of others. If all classes dealt honestly and fairly there would be no trouble indeed. If the preachers would teach the people the truth; if the financiers and business men would be content with a reassougge profit and deal honestly with all whom they deal; and if professional politicians would seek the welfare of the people and not his own interests, the troublesome times would pass away. times would. Another person may ask well if I be a laboring man shall I make as much trouble as possible for my employer shall I agitate, advocate violence against the classes? We answer no; there will be plenty of people who will pursue violence. But these are not the ones to whom the Lord makes a special promise. Seeing that we are in the time of distress upon the Nations and peoples of the earth the proper attitude for all order loving people who desire peace and prosperity can be ascertained only by going to the Lord's word. The very purpose of God permitting the truth to come from some is that they may develop the spirit of a sound mind and be a stabilizing influence among the people and to help those who really cannot help themselves. To be one who sees by the eye of faith the meaning of the present distress and others to follow the Lord says through the Prophet: "Before the decreed bring forth; before the day pass as the chaft; before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you; seek ye the Lord all ye meek of the earth which have wrought in its judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness; it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger." (Zephanian 2:2-3) Those heeding the scribal admonition will strive to avoid controversy trouble. They will diligently try to do good and not evil. They will refrain from acts of oppression. They will strive to deal honestly with their neighbors and with all men in general, and they will seek to have a better understanding of this time of trouble and to learn what it really means why the Lord has permitted it to come, and what shall follow there after. Those diligently thus seeking to to the right thing have the promise RICHARD NEW YORK RICHARD J. HILL that they may be hid and carried over through this great time of trouble. They may be of the class described by the Lord's Prophet when he said: "I will bring them through the fire (trouble) and will refine them as silver is refined and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call upon my name and I will hear them; I will say it is my people; and they shall say the Lord is my God."—Zechariah 13:9. Those who are thus brought through this troublesome time and who will ness the full establishment of Messiah's Kingdom will be among those first to receive the blessing that the kingdom will bring; and when these blessings are thus offered (and they must shortly be offered those who receive and obey the teachings of the Lord will gradually be restored to health of body and mind, to peace and happiness and be granted life-everlasting on earth forever. These are they who redeemer on the Lord Jesus Christ as their Redeemer shall never die, the Lord is now permitting this good news to certain good people of the earth to prepare them for the Glorious Kingdom and the blessings incident there to which is at hand. "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1st Peter 1:13) The one who now comes to a knowledge of God's Plan, who sees that Jesus is the Great Ransomer of mankind and who earnestly seeks to know and to do the Lord's will may truthfully look forward with great joy to the early establishment of the Great Kingdom for which the Prophets hoped and prayed and of which the Psalmist sang and through which God promised a pleasing to all the families of the earth. Not only should every Lord loving Christians man and woman, assume and pursue the right attitude toward his fellow creature but all to the extent of their knowledge and ability of the coming and establishment of the Kingdom of --- pon the d Go Into the Grave peace and righteousness should tell the message of good news to others that their hearts also might be comforted. The Inter Church World Movement has willingly and voluntarily abandoned the doctrines and invited the people to feed upon the husks; but let everyone who has a Bible seek the doctrines therein contained that his heart may be glad. Let each one who possesses THE STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES written by that wise and faithful servant of the Lord Pastor Russell get them down and use them in the study of their Bible. Not only will they be made glad but they will be better qualified to bind up others who are broken headed and comfort those who desire comfort. What shall he our attitude towards those who revile and persecute us as Christians? Every Christian has agreed to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and the answer to this question may be found in the words of the Apostle relating how Jesus acted when reviled and persecuted. It is written: "He did no sin neither was guile found in his mouth who when he was reviled reviled not again; when he suffered he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judge righteously."—1st Peter 2:22-23. Bot didn't Jesus accuse certain ones of defiling the Temple of the lord and did He not rebuke them severely? We answer Jesus found in the Temple those who were mak RD J. HILL ing it a house of merchandise and He said to them: "It is written My House shall be called a house of prayer but ye have made it a den of thieves." (Matthew 21:13) He told them in plain language those who were defiling the house of the Lord of their wrong but did not do this because they were persecuting Him but that they might know the truth. On another occasion he said; but woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites. For ye shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men for ye neither go yourselves neither ye them that are entering to go in.Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees (The Scribes and Pharisees here mentioned were the preachers of that day) Hypocrites! For ye devour widows' houses (over tax them with church dues) and for a pretense make long prayers. There fore ye shall receive the greater dannation. Won unto you Scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proxile and when he is made ye make him two fold more the child of Hell than yourselves. Woe unto you blind eyes, which say whomsoever shall swear by the Temple it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the Temple he is a debtor ye fools and blinds! For whether is greater the gold or the Temple that sanctifeth the gold? Matt. 23:13, 17. The men whom he was addressing here were the preacher class of that time who claimed to represent the Lord Jehovah and he rebuked them because of their unfaithfulness to the Lord Jehovah. Our business as true Christians and followers of Jesus' is to plainly tell the truth, to call attention to the fact that the great distress upon the world in the nature of wars, famines, pestilences and Revolutions etc., is in fulfillment of Divine Prophecy and has come as the Lord foretold and constitutes an evidence that we have reached the end of the world. Then Jesus said, concerning those who knew the fact, that they must preach the of 1925) every to the mean which are not prepare them in Kingdom which shall Back of all of should be love do good unto and to glorify and of our Christ.

Back of all our actions the motive should be love—a sincere desire to do good unto our fellow creatures and to glorify the name of our God and of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. --- Watch This Space W.

What these editors save applies as pertinently to Oklahoma as everywhere else, and is as follows: "We want Negro women to stand up and fight as the political, economic and social equals of their white sisters. The Messenger editors know Negro women who are the equals in intellect, courage and responsibility, of any white women. They are in every state, city and hamlet of the country. They have come out of the country. They have come out of the best schools and colleges of America. They are ready, willing and able to assume the leadership of their people, but they are cowed, brow-beaten, intimidated, discouraged and elbowed aside by old, ignorant, licksplitting, scyphant, slave-psychology Negro men and women who have been brought and paid for by the money-power of the country, which profits by keeping the Negro marking time. We appeal to the forward looking radical Negro womanhood to show their true colors, show their brains by breaking away from a leadership which gets you nowhere."—Messenger Color Question Is Growing More Acute All Over the World. (By The Associated Negro Press.) New York, N. Y., Nov. 27.—The Color question is growing more acute all over the world, according to Dr. F Peter Mueller-Carson, ore engineer and world traveller, of Basel, Switzerland. The little South American island of Trinidad is a typical example of this, he says. There Colored people obtained a great many more privileges during the war and more money. They are now challenging the supremacy of their numerically inferior white rulers, he says. Women Clerks and Stenographers Organize. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 27—Sixty-five young Colored women clerks and stenographers of this city met last Monday afternoon at the Atlanta Urban House and organized the "Business Women's Association."

BISHOP TYREE ENDS CAREER Noted Prelate of Oklahoma-Louisiana Diocess Succeeded by Bishop Sampson Brooks.

Church in 1860, licensed to preach in 1869, and was elected bishop in May, 1900, at General Conference sitting in Columbus, Ohio. With him was elected Bishops M. M. Moore, Charles S. Smith, C. T.

Dr. Lucas Promoted in Co-Operative Society of America. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Nov. 27—Dr. W. W. Lucas, who has been associated with the Co-operative Society of America for some time, has just been promoted to the position of Assistant General Superintendent. This places Dr. Lucas in charge of the work for our group in Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio Wisconsin and eventually the whole United States. The business of the organization is growing by leaps and bounds in a remarkable manner, according to Dr. Lucas. In an interview Dr. Lucas said "This organization is doing two great things. It is furnishing the solution to the high cost of living, and it is demonstrating the brotherhood of man by giving our people an even chance with other races." Continuing he said: "No other organization in the country, made up of the people of all races, is giving us a finer opportunity. We have increased our capital stock to $100,000,000. We have recently purchased a great warehouse in Chicago river in Chicago, at the cost of $1,000,000 cash. We own a great products company that manufactures forty-one different products Tuskegee Observes Armistice Day. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Nov. 26.—Armistice Day was very appropriately celebrated at Tuskegee Institute by the ex-soldiers on the faculty and those who are in the government vocational training course of the institute. The celebration was concluded Thursday evening by exercises in the institute chapel. Lieut. Col. Benjamin O. Davis, professor of military science and tactics, acted as master of ceremonies. The program was composed of short talks by various ex-service men, musical numbers by the institute band and camp songs by the ex-soldiers, which were sung with the same ardor and enthusiasm as of old. In the absence of Principal R. R. Moton, an address was delivered by Vice-Principal Farren Logan. All of the ex-service men were in uniform and presented an impressive spectacle of Negro patriotism and loyalty as they stood renewing their allegiance to the flag which they loev and for which they had offered their lives. Delaware Loses Race Population. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Wilmington, Del., Nov. 27. -Delaware's Colored population has fallen off during the past decade according to figures just returned by the national census bureau. There are 30,341 colored people in the state. This is 1.8 per cent lower than the figures of the 1910 census. MUSKOGEE WANDERINGS The M. C. E. Conference has just come to a successful ending and everything is quiet for a while. Bishop Cleaves ruled in such a manner as to make hosts of friends and admirers. The members of the Bee Be Chapel tried to take the roof off the building when they found Rev. Amos was to remain with them. The Tulsa District paid in more money than any other district. Mrs. W. H. Smith of Tulsa was a welcome visitor to the conference. Mrs. Dawson, the mother of Mrs. Simington, Mrs. Fue and other highly respected women, is very sick at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Maxeyon, South Seventh street. Rev. T. M. Green has just returned from the A. M. E. Conference at Claremore, where he had the honor of handing in more dollar money than any minister present. The Colored Taylor Glee Club of M. T. H. S. gave a very excellent concert at the A. M. E. Church for the benefit of the Stewardess Board. Mr. Geo. Adams, graduate of Manual Training High and Law Department of Howard University, recently visited his mother and father. Dr. Tompkins of Kansas City was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Jefferson. Dr. Patrick of Okmulgee and Miss Rausch were recently married at the Episcopal parsonage. The city has given the site in front of Douglas school for a public park and play grounds for the children of this school. It is now being leveled and flowers, trees and apparatus will soon beautify it. Thanks are due to the principal, Mr. Ward, for pushing this work, and to Superintendent Tighe for his aid and help in gaining this for our children and their parents and friends. The Baptist Convention, held at Second Baptist Church, of which Rev. Stewart is pastor, was highly satisfactory both spiritually and financially. Dr. Morris and Prof. Britt were among the distinguished guests present. Rev. J. Arlington Wilson delivered a lecture at C. M. E. Church, South Seventh street, that was well attended. He is still the idol of the people. "RLSE." DID OUR WOMEN VOTE? Did our women vote on 'lection day? Who asked that question anyway?

Testimony revealed that when the will was drawn up, Mrs. Taylor was-a helpless paralytic having suf fered a stroke of apoplexy three days previous, She could not speak and according to a Witness to the Wil, ‘signified her wishes by blink- ing her eyes raising her left fore- finger and shaking her left knee.

MEMBER OF MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE AS TO RACE LEGISLATION "An Oklahoma City reader writes The World as follows: 'Do you favor a repeal of the "Jim Crow" law by the Republican legislature at the forthcoming session of the legislature? 'The Republican party has always stood for equal rights as between whites and blacks which is exemplified by existing laws in all rock-ribbed publican states, which recognizes equality of both races in the public tools and on passenger trains. "An Oklahoma City reader writes The World as follows: "Do you favor a repeal of the "Jim Crow" law by the Republican legislature at the forthcoming session of the legislature? "The Republican party has always stood for equal rights as between whites and blacks, which is exemplified by existing laws in all rock-ribbed Republican states, which recognizes equality of both races in the public schools and on passenger trains. "Please state your views fully in The World" Most certainly The World does not favor the repeal of the separate coach, separate waiting room and separate school law. Nor does any considerable number of Republicans, be they white or black. The statement that "rock-ribbed Republican states" always "recognize equality," is not a statement of facts. Most certainly The World does not favor the repeal of the separate coach, separate waiting room and separate school law or does any considerable number of Republicans, be they white or black. The statement that "rock-ribbed Republicanates" always "recognize equality," is not a statement of acts. Equally certain it is that The World does favor an adminis- Equally certain it is that The World does favor an administration of the law that will accord to the colored citizens of the state their every just right under a law that cannot in common justice know any color or level of origin. Social equality is a myth created by demagogues both white and black. There is not, nor will there ever be within any race extant, such a thing as social equality. The origin of man, his disposition, his nature, the very purpose of God, forbid it. Then how absurdly criminal it is to talk about social equality between races in whose breasts has been implanted prejudices over which they can have no complete control. It is to the distinct credit of the wisest colored leaders that they oppose all talk of social equality, see wisdom in the segregation of the races in schools and other places, yet stand within their just rights in asking that their people be not discriminated against merely because they have black skins. The World is most distinctly of that school that holds it to be impossible for any man or race of men to prove their superiority through the practice of an injustice, or to maintain an honest and just public service if that public service loans itself to acts of oppression at the mere behest of prejudice. Separate but equal school and transportation facilities for the two races is not an injustice. But to deny constitutional rights to a citizen because of the color of his skin or the fact that he persists in voting contrary to your views, is both oppression and injustice. We suspect our correspondent deliberately attempted to enmesh us in the bourbon's scheme of partisan political controversy. If so, he may make the most of our views "fully" expressed. Frankly, we appeal to reason, not prejudice." And so we have it again. Ever and anon this infernal boogaboo of "social equality" bobs up to take the joy out of life for those who are trying to live in peace. —TULSA WORLD The above editorial expresses a view on this question that is considered very liberal by the average white man, but as a matter of fact it is narrow and absolutely contrary to God's plan concerning his people. Equality of races does not mean social commingling. It means that every man of every race should have equal opportunities and be subject to one and the same law without discrimination. There can be no justice or equality in Jim Crow cars, or any other kind of segregation of races, the position of The World and its "wiest colored leaders" to the contrary notwithstanding. The mere fact that there are legal proscriptions for the separation of races is evidence per se of discrimination. The only way to guarantee absolute justice and equality to the black man is to remove all vestige of legalized discrimination. Kansas, our neighbor state, and Missouri, have no Jim Crow laws; transportation accommodation in those states are equal for both races because there is no separation. All races ride together and so far this even justice has not brought about the delirium of "social equality"—something that does not exist, even in the white race. Why all this talk about "social equality" anyhow? And why has the black man been singled out to bear the burden? Why don't the white man talk about social equality with the Indian whose racial qualities do not come under the ban of the white TULSA STAR, Saturday, November 27, 1920 man's colog prejudice; or, if s by the latter's avaricious procla also a colored man, has been ree into the white man's on terms.

As we understand the purpose sought by this conference, the bulk of the work to be done falls to the lot of the white man who must bear the greater measure of responsibility for existing conditions. But if we are to judge by white attendance at this conference, the purposes for which the meeting was called will fail of materialization unless a sense of duty and responsibility can be aroused in the white man. Four or five hundred Colored people, dominated by one or two petty politicians in quest of personal glories, no matter what their enthusiasm may be, cannot bring about the things so much needed, without the hearty co-operation of the white man. Governor Robertson is a great man and nothing he has ever done or ever will do can possibly serve to prove his greatness more than his initiative in creating this conference. But even Governor Robertson cannot sway the will of his people on the race question until the sentiment has been aroused from within. IF, AS the Tulsa World says, there are leading Colored men who favor the "Jim Crow" railroad transportation laws of Oklahoma, it is the opinion of the Star that these so-called black leaders are ripe for a full coat of tar and feathers and a swift ride on fence rails out of any community in which they live. Here's a fine opportunity for Colored men and women with a scintilla of Race pride to get busy. JIM CROWISM, social and economic justice and equality are by no means synonimous. There can be no justice and equality where the principles of discrimination prevail. WOMAN SUFFRAGE has come to stay and we are optimistic enough to believe that the Race and the country as a whole will be beenfited by the woman vote. IF IT'S "HELL TO BE RICH," as claimed by men of millions, as a balm of relief, we would suggest that they be more liberal in giving the poor man hell. NO RACE MEN have been named for President Harding's cabinet, but there are plenty applicants, no doubt. PITY INDEED that Tulsa cannot afford to keep all the pretty teachers that visited us this week. TULSA HAD MUCH for which to be thankful this week—the Teachers' Association for instance. Oklahoma City, Nov. 27.—(Special.) Oklahoma is fully organized for the annual Tuberculosis Christmas seal sale, and judging from enthusiastic letters received from practically every county seal sale chairman, the state will raise more money for public health work this year than ever before. The sale is due to start on December 1 and end on December 15, but as a matter of fact it has already begun in many places. The first health bond—made similar to Liberty Bonds, but with coupons drawn ginterest only in the form of better public health—was sold on November 17 at Altus. t was bought by Roy R. Bolk, morale officer of the Altus Boy Scouts. t was sold by Mrs. J. H. McNeil, county seal sale chairman for Jackson county. Rotary clubs in Bartlesville, Blackwell, Chickasha, Clinton, Cushing, Drumright, Durant, Enid, Guthrie, Henrytey, Hobart, Lawton, McAlester, Miami, Muskogee, Norman, Nowata, Oklahoma City, Okmulgee, Sapulpa, Shawnee, Tulsa and Vinnipae, co-operating during their observance of Rotary Health Week from December 5 to 11. Rotary club speakers from these towns will visit other Rotary clubs to make speeches in behalf of Christmas seals and better public health. Every community of from 250 to 97,000 in the state has a chairman and workers for the seal sale, and they are perparing to go out on the morning of December 1, determined to sell their quota of 10 one-cent seals per capita in their communities. SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ENDORSES COLORED SOLDIER MEMORIAL Washington, D. C., Nov. 27—At the Armistice Day celebration held in the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, under the auspices of the National Memorial Association, Justice F. L. Siddons, of the District Supreme Court spoke very largely of the work that the Association is doing, and stated in hearty terms his endossement of the movement now on foot to erect in Washington a suitable memorial to the Colorized soldiers and sailors who have fought in all the wars of the country, especially in the world war. Justice Siddons paid a glowing tribute to Abraham Lincoln and his work, and brought home to his hearers the lesson Lincoln sought to teach. Mr. Siddons had secured a copy of the proceedings of the Congressional Committee, and expressed the hope that every Negro, in fact every American citizen, he said, should read these proceedings for their historical worth. --- A. N. P. Service It shows as no other author has yet shown just what real service the Coored man has been to the country, "Other races" said the Justice show their pride by erecting memorials and memorials to their leaders, and the time is now ripe and fitting and proper for you to be interested in having the same honor accorded to your own." He urged the Association to interest members of the race in the movement throughout the States, as those men and women con do much by enlisting their representatives in the Congress in this movement. In closing, Justice Siddoss said "Memorials have been erected to leaders in thought and action all along the line, but it is up to you to erect a memorial to the rank and file." Philly two thousand persons attended the meeting. LOST! One Yale key, with medal loop; it found return to Star Office and receive liberal reward.
