OKLAHOMA COLORED TEACH
ERS MEET
First Day's Session Marked by Exciting Football Contest.
First day's session was scheduled to open at 3:30 p. m., but owing to the great interest shown by the assembled teachers in the football contest between Muskogee and Tulsa, the association was not called to order by President Pettus until 4 o'clock. The night session opened at 8:40 o'clock to a full house. All former presidents seated on rostrum. The first selection on the program was a chorus by the Booker Washington School, "Southern Lullaby," which showed good training. Invocation by Rev. W. H. Henderson was follohe by a solo, "Ave Marie," by Miss Mildred Warner, a student of the Luther Schools. She received an encore and responded to same. The welcome address by Prof. J. W. Hughes of Tulsa was listened to by this large body of teachers with much interest and pleasure. His talk was replete with many interesting facts. The response by Miss Juanta Byrd of Sapulpa was very good and made a favorable impression on all. This was followed by a beautiful solo by Miss Partenia Russell, whose voice is indeed a charming one. The President was introduced by Mrs. Scott Brown Brewer, the Vice President, and he proceeded with his annual address. A committee was appointed on the President's address
The gem of the evening was a solo, "Villanelle," by Mrs. Berenice Ellis Perdue. The house went wild over her singing, demanded and got an encore, which was even better than the first.
Committees appointed:

Prof. S. L. Hargrove, Conductor
1. "Relation of College to the High School." Discussion was begun by Prof. S. E. Shannon of Holdenville. Prof. J. H. Porter followed with some facts which should concern those who foster high school and college. "Each is a link in the educational chain," says Prof. Porter.
Prof. R. H. Newhouse finds the relations same as that relation between high school and grammar school.
Prof. T. M. White, from his point of view finds that the college should complete what the high school begins. The discussion was closed by Prof. S. L. Hargrove, the conductor.
"The modern high school is not any longer a preparatory school for the college. It is an education in itself."

BRIEF NOTES OF STATE TEACHERS' ASS'N
Mrs. L. C. Clark of Muskogee led the association with the community sonh "Everybody Neighbors" and a round "lovely evening," which seemed to pleas every one.
The afternoon session began with a chorus by the Sand Springs Glee Club, which called for an encore, which they rendered to the pleasure of all present.
Prof. W. A. Hill of Oklahoma City gave a good talk on how teachers may help on extension work.
The Jeannes Fund and the Rosenwald Fund were explained in a satisfactory manner by Mrs. Harriet Ascraft of Guthrie.
After the singing of community songs, President Marquis of Langston University was introduced by President Pettus and gave a very interesting talk on points developed at Inter-Racial Congress in Atlanta, Ga. He used the words in chorus of community song which said, "Let us get together, work together, play together, pull together, etc. His talk aroused much enthusiasm in the audience.
The President appointed the following committee to confer on how the association can best help Langston University: Prof. Fort, Mrs. McRiley, Mrs. Ethel Brewer White. Here cane a demonstration of physical culture and foll. dancing from Sand Springs which was indeed fine.
At noon the ladies of the association were called in meeting by Mrs. L. C. Clark of Muskogee, and there they discussed many things which bore good fruit.
There seemed to be more interest in the election, judging by the number of teachers congregated in the halls, than in the Departmental work. This is a pity, for teachers spend so much money to attend this association they certainly ought to get something in return for their time and money.
Three departments were largely attended and were well worth the attention of all, i. e. Primary, Grammar and High School.
The demonstrations were good. The children used in demonstrations did not seem cowed down, but were bright and alert.
Singing by Booker Washington H. S. Chorus opened the evening session. The address on "Educational Measurements" by City Superintendent Oberholtzer was indeed fine and gave teachers some fine thoughts to take home.
The vocal solo by Mr. Alonzo Lewis was very good.
The teachers of Tulsa gave a swell banquet at the Stafford Hotel that proved that Tulsa is at the head of the list in hospitality. The hall and tables were beautifully decorated and the menu unsurpassed.
The next meeting place is Muskogee, and we'll have to "put the big pot in the little one" to beat Tulsa.
Muskegue, Dec. 3—The death of Mrs. Sarah Dawson, one of the best known and widely beloved women of this community, was indeed quite a shock to her numerous friends. The respect in which she was held was shown by the large attendance at her funeral and the many handsome floral offerings The funeral of Mrs Sarah Dawson will be held this morning at 11 o'clock, at Bebee Memorial C. M. E. Church, South Seventh street and Midland Valley R. R. She was the mother of 14 children, 9 of which survive her. There also were 30 grandchildren and 36 great grand children. She was 81 years of age.
Miss Jane Dancy of Oklahoma City was in the city last week attending the Teachers' Association. While here she was the guest of Miss Mattie Mitchell, 512 N. Hartford.

Doctor is Convicted For Getting Money in "Con" Game
CHICAGO, Dec. 3—Dr. J. Elbert Gibbinson, Colored described as "Chicago's Colored Ponzi," was found guilty by a jury today of operating confidence game. Dr. Robinson, testimony showed, claims the American Car and Foundry Company iwed him Ten Thousand Dollars $10,000,000) for infringement of patents for a hard iron wheel," and that he had suits pending to collect the money. To raise money for the alleged purpose of prosecuting the suits he sold his notes, telling purchasers that the notes constituted a lien against the money he claimed due him. The notes were generally executed for from 10 to 15 times the amount he received from the buyer, th difference constitutinf the purchaser's profit when, and if the courts decided in the "doctor's" favor. Testimony showed that hundreds of people, both white and Colored, had given Robinson money in exchange for the notes. During the trial Robinson was transported to and from the court building in an imported racing car driben by a liveried chauffeur. Dr. Robinson promised a "huge rich dinner at the Auditorium hotel" to those who were instrumental in the recovery of his rights.
interestingly begun by Mabel Grace Andrews of Tulsa. Many practical facts were brought out by Miss Andrews. Emphasis was placed upon extensive reading supervised by the English teacher as a means of improving English in the high school.
Mrs. L. E. Person of Boley urges co-operation of entire faculty with the English teacher.
Prof. W. C. Jones of Claremore finds that the English supervision should go out on the play-grounds. Prof. D. G. Horton, Guthrie, indorsed the opinion of Prof. Jones.
"Correction of English in all subjects, be it mathematics, science, or what not, should be made," adds Prof. Horton.
3. "Should Latin Be Abolished in High School?"
Opened by Prof. N. J. Ceasar, Shawnee. Prof. Ceasar stated very clearly the history of the question.
"Efficiency in English depends largely upon one's knowledge of Latin," says Prof. Caesar. Latin should not be abolished.
Prof. D. W. Lewis finds that Latin should be elective. "Latin should be a very secondary subject," says Prof. Lewis.
Prof. O. H. Hutton, Atoka, strongly defended the high schools which maintain Latin.
Prof. J. A. T. West, Tulsa, gave his opinion on the subject.
Subject was closed by the conductor. Prof. S. L. Hargrove.
4. "Should there be a difference between the Curriculum of the Negro Schools and the White Schools?" Six minutes were given to this sub
Six minutes were given to this subject.
All agreed that the Negro Curriculum should be even better.
Meeting adjourned after a profitable session.

GOOD WORK SHOWN BY MUS
KOGEE CHARITIES
Thanksgiving Day among at least twenty destitute colored families was a day of real thanksgiving, reports Mrs. L. M. Banks, Superintendent of the Colored Associated Charities. Over $00 worth of groceries, besides numerous articles of clothing, was distributed. Twenty children and thirty adults were the recipients.
Donations for Christmas distribution will be appreciated.
Noted Educator Honored.
Savannah, Ga.—The Golden Anniversary of the entry of President Richard R. Wright, upon his career as teacher, was celebrated last Thursday from eight to eleven p. m. in Savannah, Ga. It is a fine testimony to the aggressive work of Dr. Wright in the educational field to have served that long, and so well honored for the service he has rendered.

MIXED AUDIENCE HEARS TULSA MAN DISCUSS THE BIBLE FROM STANDPOINT OF INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS.
Pastor of Methodist Church Let Down Bars and Welcomes Messenger of Truth.
Bartlesville, Okla., Dec. 3. A deal of interest has been aroused among the people of both races in Bartlesville by the lecture of Hon. Richard J. Hill of Tulsa, who delivered an impressive lecture here Sunday on the Bible, choosing for his subject "Millions Now Living Will Never Die." His lecture had been advertised to be held in a public hall, but on the urgent invitation of Rev. G. W. Washington was changed to the Methodist church of which Rev. Washington is pastor. A large audience of both white and colored people heard Mr. Hill and all of them were manifestly impressed with his lecture. Among those who heard him were some of the intellectual lights of this city, including lawyers, doctors and bankers. That the Tulsa man, who is a noted International Bible Student, made a lasting impression on the minds of his audience was proven by favorable comments by people of both races following the lecture.
At the conclusion of the lecture Rev. Washington arose and said to his congregation:
"You came out today expecting to hear me preach a sermon but I am satisfied you have heard enough, and that you have enjoyed what you have heard from this great man of God and I am not going to spoil the effects of his lecture by attempting to preach," whereupon the audience was dismissed.
Rev. Washington again extended a standing invitation to Mr. Hill to hold future meetings in his church and promised his hearty co-operation.
The Exhibits of the Sand Springs Schools attracted general attention and were of higher merit.

The broadway to destrucion op-
ened up at the time Adam was driv-
en from Garden of Eden. Because
of his sin. he was. condemned to
death and all of his off — springs
came under his condemnation, All
of these have been going down to
destruction—not eternal — torture.
For more than six thousand years,
they have been going to the Bible
hell, the grave, the tomb the place
of destruction “(Psalms 90:3; 14645
Eee, :3-10) This way leading to
destruction was the only way for
man to go from the creation of
Adam until Christ Jesus came and
the vast multitudes who have not
known and accepted Christ since |
He has come have all likewise gone
that same way; but this does not
mean that they shall not return
again, ‘The great mass of mankind
have gone that way ignorant of the
fact that any provision has been
made for their salvation and re-
turn. God plainly promised to re-
deem man that is to say purchase
him from the grave, the tomb the Bi-
ble hell and to destroy death. “I
will ransom them from the power
of the grave; 1 will redeem them
from death.” (Hosea 13:14) His
provision for accomplishing — this
was through the merit of Jesus’
sacrifice. When Jesus came He
brought to light’ the fact that God
has a plan for rescuing men from
the great broadway of destruction
and bringing them fo life; that in
the outworking of this plan He will
grant to some the blessings of in:
mortality and the ones who attain
this great prize of immortality are
the ones who enter the narrow way
of life described by the Master, (st
Timothy 2:10) ‘The great mass of
mankind is yet ignorant of this pro:
vision for life. ‘Their ignorance is
due to the prevalene of sin the in-
fluence of sin the influence of the
adversary through ignorant teach
ers and to the fact that it, is not
vet due time that they shall know.
The due time however is near eyen
at the door. The greater light is
now beginning to, break and shine
into the hearts of the people and
many are coming to a knowledge
of the fact that millions now living
and walking about upon earth will
never die and go into the grave,
God purposed before the founda-
tion of the world to develop a new
Creation designation as the Royal
Priesthood or Holy people peculiar
ly built up into Christ Jesus (1st
Peter 2:5-10). Jesus was the head
or chief corner. stone of this new
arrongement, ‘The value of _ his
ransom sacrifice is used for their
benefit during the Gospel Age, The
Narrow way opened means a way
leading to Heaven. to membership
into the body of Christ. The way
is narrow and dificult and few
find it berause few are willing to
conform themselves to the terms.
Any one who does so must follow in
tre footstens of Jesus. Jesus, when
on earth was a perfect man and as
such was entitled to all honors,
glory and praise that the peoples
might bestow unon a perfect man
He could easily have had the whole
human race at his feet, doing his
hiddings and been the most hon-
ored person in all the earth, But
that was not the purpose of His
coming here, “He came not to be
ministered unto but to minister,
and to give his life as a purchase
price for” mankind as a ransom,
(Matt, 29:28) Hes denied himself
of alt these earthly honors and glo-
ry that a perfect man might have
had. He denied himself pleasures
that might come to a perfect human
being, legitimately indeed for the
perfect man. He surrendered his
human will, making it entirely sub-
missive to Jehovah's will. He en-
dured great contradictions among
sinners, great afflictions in order
that he might learn to be a sympa-
thetic High Priest to the poor hu-
man race, he their Redeemer and
ultimately their unlifter and bless-
er.
During the Gospel Age if one ap-
proached the Lord desiring to en-
ter this narrow way leading to life
and into Heaven itself, Jesus has
said to him “If any man will come
after me, let tim deny himself and
take up his cross and follow me,
for whosoever will save his life
shall find it, (Matt. 16:24-25) Jesus
means by these words that those
who would enter this narrow way
must deny themselves as He denied
Himself, must daily do the Father's
will ainidst a wicked and perversed
generation and that he who would
saerifice his eartly hopes and earth
1y likes because of his love for the
Lord and righteousness should find
life ov gy higher plain, namely the
plain of Divine nature

the Master. They abused — Him;
thy called Him a Devil; a liar; a
blisphemer; a glutton’; — charged
him with the erime of sedition and
caused hin to be put to death,
When Jesus said, “If any man
will come after me) he must deny
himself and take up his cross and
follow. me.” He meant that the
true Christian would have similar
experiences. He said the Disciple
is not above his Master and the ser-
vant not above his Lord. It is not
cnough for the disciple that he be
ay hiy Master aud the servant as his
Lord. If they have called the Mas:
te. of the house beelzebub how
much tore shall they call them of
his household? (Matt. 10:24-25)
\gain, he spoke of the three classes
above named as the world—those
having @ spiritual contrary to the
Church. These find. a counterpart
in our present day. The Professiongl
politicians, big business and the Ec-
clesiastical leaders, have joined to
gether in an unholy alliance and
they perseedte the hhmble follow-
ers of Jesus. Evidently Jesus had
in mind such a class when He
said: “If the morld hate yau know
that it hated me before it hated you,
If ye were of the world, the world
would love its own, but because
ye are notof the ‘world, but 1
have chosen you out of the world
therefore the world hated you; if
they have kept my saying, they will
kevp yours also.” (John 15:18-20)
Again, in referring to the events
that would transpire at the end of
the world where we now are he
said: “Then shall they delived you
up to be afflicted and shall kill you
and ye shall be hated by all nations
for my name’s sake;” and then ad-
ded “But He that shall endure to
‘the end shall be saved,” meaning
that those who ultimately find life
at the end of the narrow way will
be few and will be those who will
endure faithfully hardships, trials
persecutions because they love the
Lord move than they love any earth:
ly thing.
When the list one has entered
ito life through the straight and
harrow way, and the Lord’s. King:
dom is established that His will
shall be done in earth as_ it is in
Heaven then a great” and mighty
Nigh way will he opened for. the
parpose of blessing the people and
bringing back the millions thaa have
ene down the great broadway of
destruction, Of this the Prophet
wrote: “And an highway shall be
there ast a way. and) it” shall be
called the way of holiness; the n-
clean shall not pass over it; but it
shall be for those; the wayfaring
mon, though fools Shall err thereis
(saiah 25:8) The highway referred
to here means the Divine arrange:
ment for the reovery of the Human
race, based upon the great Ransom
sucrifice of Jesus of Nazareth.
First the millions on earth fiving
when the Kingdom is. established,
shall be brought to a knowledge of
the fact that the way leading to
life, © way of holiness has now been
opened aid it will be made so clear
thet at that time that a wayfaring
man, even though an ignorant
preacher, shall be able to under.
Stand it, In trath and in fact there
will be no preacher going about
then collectng enormous sums. of
money from the people and inveig-
Jing them to join their organization
ut such men will have to hunt an
henest vocation and humble them-
selves like others and learn that the
great Messiah has taken unto. him-
self His great power and is reign-
ing.
The ninth verse of this Prophecy
of the Lord says: “No lieing shall
be there nor any ravenous beast
shall go thereon ” it shall not be
found there; but the redeemed. shall
walk there. A lion is a strong,
vicious ravenius beast and in sym-
bot iMustrates the beastly manner
in which affairs have been conduct-
ed by men. None such w.'l be per-
mitted when the higrway of Holi-
ness is opened. ‘There will be no
bloated bond — holders, who will
hammer up the Liberty Bonds when
they want to sell then: aid hammer
them down when they want to buy
them; there will be no persons then
gvho will be permitted to. put the
price of farm products down be-
heath a living price after they have
squeezed it out of poor farmers
for practically nothing; there will
be none who will be permitted to
place exhorbitant rents upon. their
houses and force the poor people to
pay that rent; there will be no prifi
teers who will dump the food into
the sea in order to make the price
of what is left remain high. The
Great Master will permit nothing of
this kind but every one will be re-
«mired to deal righteously with his
neighbor because the Lord will be
ruling all and such rule will be a
righteous one. “With righteousness
shali He judge the poor and reprove
with justice the meek of the earth;
and He shall smite the earth with
the rod of his mouth (that is teach
them the truth) and with tie breath
of his lips will he slay the wicked
systems and — organizations. And
righteouness shall be the girdle of
his reigns.’ (Isaiah 11:4-3)
Surely the Inter Church World
Movement whieh includes the great
system of Church Denominations,
cannot say consistenaly that it is in
viting people of th narrow way that
leads to life, they deny such as the

they must admit that they are going

tion, which is the truth. ‘The blind

ers and they shall go into the ditch
(Matt. 15:14). What the people need
is knowledge. There is indeed now
a famine in the land for want of the

Lord foretold it” would be. (Amos

the Inter Churh World Readers say,
We avree to ignore the Dictrines,
We thank God for the highway of
Holiness that shall soon be estab-
Jished and for the abundance of
truth that shall feed the poor starved
aid bongry people! What the true
Christian now in these Church De-
hominations and Inter Church World
Movement should do is to heed the
voice of the Lord: “Come out of her
m\ people that ye be not partakers
of her sins and receive not of her
plagues.” (Rey, 18:1) Come out of
these false systems before you go
into the ditch of great disappoint-
ment with them, Not only come
out yourself but learn the Lord’s
Plan and teach it to others for their
comfort and) strength, Let them
know that the Lord is now taking
unto himself his great power and

STICK TO YOUR JOB
(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago, IL, Dec, 3—Fearing
wide spread unemployment of Col
ord men and women in Chicago, the
Urban League of this city ix issuing
4 weekly bulletin, setting forth the
labor conditions ay reflected by the
work of its industrial deparyment.
‘The following significant statements
are taken from the League's first
bulletis.
“The League is sending out a gen-
eral warning to. all workers. to
stick to. their jobs, In reminding
men and women that this is no time
for change, a bulletin of the League
states that “Out of telephone calls
«© 27 plants on one morning, only
1 jobs were obtained. These were
reluctantly given the League fot
“Old Time's sake,” and not because
the men were actually needed. A\
several plants there were more
than 200 men outside of the gates
looking for employment. Wages
are being reduced in certain plants
and the working forces of others
are being — materially decreased
One plant that had been hiring
some six or eight hundred Colored
men will be closed from Wednesday
of this week until Monday of nex!
week.”

DEATH TAKES
JAKE L. HAMON
OKLAHOMA NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN AND MULTIMILLIONAIRE
ACCIDENTAL GUN WOUND FATAL
Many Prominent Men of the Nation
Attended the Funeral of Noted
Oil Man and Railroad
Operator.
Ardmore, Okla.—Jake L. Hamon, republican national committeeman, died here of a pistol wound received Sunday night, Nov. 21. According to Frank L. Ketch, his business manager, the wound resulted from the "accidental discharge" of a gun which Mr. Hamon was cleaning.
All trains and transportation on the 110 miles of railroad owned by Jake L. Hamon stopped, and operations on all leases of the Hamon interests shut down for a period of one hour, from 8 until 3 o'clock Nov. 29, in respect to the funeral of the republican national committeeman and deceased owner of these interests, who died Nov. 26 as the result of an alleged "accidental discharge" of a pistol. Men prominent in the business and political affairs of the nation attended Mr. Hamon's funeral. Last minute sickness in the families of some of the prominent men who had expected to attend prevented several from coming.
In 1896 he was graduated from the law department of the Kansas state university, and immediately after his graduation, he came down into the territory to seek his fortune, with very little else in his pockets besides his diploma. His first job was as a clerk in a store at Newkirk. When the Kiowa-Conanque country was opened to settlement, Hamon went with the crowd of new settlers to Lawton, and there became Lawton's first city attorney, taking a prominent part in the organization of Lawton's city government.
Hamon was a doer of big things. One of his first big ventures, was an attempt at the building of a couple of railroads, one from Lawton to Ardmore, and another from Wichita Falls, Texas, to Oklahoma City. This project brought him a good deal down in the southern part of the state and he spent several futile years trying to get his paper roads bonded. Then he became disgusted and con-
T. E.
Jake L. Hamon included he would just start on the job himself, so, with John Ringling of New York City, the circus man, as a banker, he built, by dent of hard work, thirty-one miles of good railroad from Ardmore to Ringling. Building railroads was one of Mr. Hamon's chief hobbies, it seems, and when he died he was perhaps the only individual owner of any railroad in the world, an honor brought to him when he purchased the Hamon-Kell road in Texas. Mr. Hamon made his first venture in the oil game when the Healdton field came into prominence as a prospective producer. When the first Healdton oil was brought in Hamon went over to that territory "to look things over."
He did not get as excited as the other operators in the field and pursue what might be termed a Fabian policy. He did not appear as desirous of getting rich "too quick." So he just waited for a spell and watched them bring in one well after another. Then, realizing that the fellows who were bringing them in were generally at their ropes' end for ready cash, he "got a wise" hunch on the propinquity of his old friend "opportunity." He began to buy production and bought it at a very low figure. Then, by selling it high, he amassed a fortune of $5, 000,000 within a period of three years.
Oil Fire At Houston.
Houston, Texas.—Twenty-four storage tanks containing 190,000 gallons of lubricating oil belonging to Humble Oil, and Refining company were destroyed here by fire. The loss is estimated at $200,000.
Dr. Stephanek Arrives in U. S.
New York.—Dr. Roeriek Stephanek, newly appointed Czecho-Slovakian minister to the United States, arrived here on the steamship Argentina from Trieste. Accompanied by members of his family.
ARE TO RID JAIL OF INSECTS
Thorough Overhauling Fails To Exterminate Pests.
Tulsa. "Where do they come from?" asked J. M. Adkinson, commissioner of fire and police, after receiving word from W. D. Matthews, state commissioner of charities and corrections, that insects still were inhabiting the city jail, although that place had been painted, oasismined, disinfected and otherwise treated for the extermination of insects, small and large.
So another effort is being made by police to eradicate the pests from the jail so that Rev. Matthews may depart in peace after his next inspection.
INDIANOLA GIN CUTS PRICE
Decrease Believed to Be Beginning of General Relief of Situation.
McAlester, The Bynum Gin company near here, announced a price of 80 cents a hundred, a 10-cent reduction. This is the first break in a situation which has been tense here and presses other reductions and an immediate opening of better relations between farmers and gin men, according to both sides.
Couple Say "18" Is Lucky.
Couple say it is lucky.
Henryytta - Thirteen has figured strongly in the family of Claude Peters and wife living near Henryytta, the last thirteen years. A baby girl weighing thirteen pounds, and the thirteenth child of the family, arrived on the twenty-sixth anniversary of their wedding, which is thirteen multiplied by two. The couple are in no wise superstitious, and refuse to speak of their number of children's as, baker's dozen, as has been suggested by friends, but boast of the number thirteen.
Craig Farms Not Idle.
Vinita.—There is not an idle farm in Craig county, says George Thomas, county farm agent. He has just finished a search for a farm for a relative and has had to advise the man to go to an adjacent county.
STATE HOUSE NEWS
Injured Workers to Receive State Aid Cooperation between the state industrial commission and the state board of vocational education in helping persons injured in industrial accidents was agreed upon at a conference between members of the two agencies.
Oklahoma soon will receive $13,500 from the federal government to be spent for vocational rehabilitation. Governor Robertson accepted the federal appropriation by a formal statement several weeks ago directed that the two state industrial agencies should unite to work with federal organization in using the money. The final condition attached to the appropriation was met by the meeting, it was said, and the money is expected to be deposited with the state treasurer within a short time. Opportunity for injured persons to earn trades for which they may be fitted will be provided with the federal money, it is planned. Compensation for accidents paid by order of the industrial commission may be used to maintain the injured person while free instruction is given in a new means of livelihood.

CHAIR OF THEOLOGY IN STATE
BAPTIST COLLEGE
To the Pastors and Ministers of Oklahoma, Greetings:
Pursuant to a vote of the Baptist State Convention of Oklahoma in its recent sitting at Oklahoma City, the Executive Board of said convention when it meets on Friday and Saturday before the first Sunday in December, will take under advisement the feasibility of installing in Baptist State College in the very near future a chair of Theology with a regular theological professor in charge. In order that the Executive Board may have something to guide it in its deliberations relative to this point, the president of the college is hereby asking those ministers who will and feel that they can be depended upon to take the course if it is offered to kindly send in their applications to him at once.
In this connection permit me to call your attention to the fact that 100 double entre school desks have been ordered and received. This makes quite an addition to our limited equipment here. Only the freight and transfer charges on those desks have been paid. The first payment was to have been made on Nov. 1, but as the desks were not received until after the first I am released from making the Nov. payment, I am making an effort, however, to raise $600.00 by Jan. 1, 1921 in order to make the first payment. To this end, I am trying to send a personal letter to 60 pastors and others asking them to raise from their Sunday Schools etc. $10.00 each and send to mt by Jan. 1, 1921.
Whether you have received a personal letter or not will you, as soon as you read this appeal, let me hear from you as to what I may expect of you in this matter? Your boys and girls are coming to us and we are determined to make their coming worth while. Kindly let me hear from you at once. Yours for a real college. M. H. ELDRDGE. President.

CHICAGO'S NEW BUSINESS VENTURE
(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago; Ill., Nov. 3.—Collared business interests, in this city are being stirred to great activity by the launching of a new business idea by J. L. Lane, promoter of the United Workingmen's Mercantile Company, one of the leading and most wide awake Colored business men in Chicago, Mr. Lane proposed posed the operation of a chain of stores, by numbers of the race, that will extend throughout the entire country. The plan has already made a big hit and there are abundant indications that the idea will be an established fact before many more months are passed. As designed by the originator of the plan includes an opportunity for the rank and file of the people to become shareholders in the business through a popular subscription which will be safeguarded by ample bond security provided by the promoter and the officials of the corporation.

Spreading Christmas Joy
CHRISTMAS is not always a brief period of joy and happiness to every home. Poverty and its attending ills take all the joy out of life in many homes, even here in Tulsa where evidences of great wealth and riches abound; but, thank God and Daddy Welch, every such home in Tulsa will be remembered Christmas day.
Too much can hardly be said in commendation of the Tulsa County Humane Society in its work for the unfortunate side of humanity. And right here the Tulsa Star desires to laud Mr. Weich and his assistants for the splendid work they have done for the poor people of all classes in Tulsa in the past. In their zeal to administer to the needy they have worked indiscriminately and impartially irrespective of race or color.
We desire also to commend the few Colored men of this city who have aided in this good work by contributing money. It is a reflection on us as a class, however, that we have not given to this worthy cause in proportion to the good we have received from it. It is a well known fact that people of our group draw heavily on the Humane Society and none of them are ever turned away. Far more of them, in proportion, than any other class, no doubt, and for this reason, along with others, the Colored people of Tulsa should be liberal contributors to the Tulsa County Humane Society. There are a number of men and women among us who are able to give in denominations of three figures and not hurt themselves, but we doubt that any of these have contributed anything to help allay the suffering of humanity in this community. Probably it is because they have not thought of their less fortunate neighbors, or maybe they have not been approached and solicited. These are poor excuses, however, for the man or woman who is able to do a lion's share of charity work, but who has failed to do anything. We hope every man and woman among us who is able to give One Dollar (and any of us can give this amount will not wait to be called on, but will at once call this office—Osage 931—or the Humane office—Osage 824—and pledge at least one dollar to the society's Christmas fund.
The Tulsa Star will lead off with a contribution of $25 in addition to what we have already given. Now who will follow our lead with a greater or smaller amount?
In our Christmas Edition, December 18th, we will publish the names of every Colored person who has contributed to this fund, and we sincerely hope every business and professional man or woman and every working man or woman in Tulsa will be represented in that list.
While we are planning what valuable presents to give our friends and loved ones, let us in our calculations lay aside one dollar as an individual part of a fund to provide Christmas baskets for the unfortunate poor of Tulsa; not the poor whites or the poor blacks—it is not a matter of race or color—but for all the poor people of a great rich city.
While we are anticipating the joy of Christmas morning around our own fireside in comfortable homes where the sting of poverty is not known, let us picture the hundreds of homes in our midst where conditions are the reverse—where there will be no joy, no toys, no presents, no food, no clothing, no sunshine except that contained in the Christmas baskets to be distributed by the Tulsa County Humane Society. Surely after such reflection every able-bodied man and woman in the community will gladly respond with at least one dollar as a token of their good wishes for their less fortunate fellowman. If only one man or woman out of every ten Colored persons in Tulsa would give one dollar, our pro rata of this special Christmas fund would be more than one thousand dollars.
Think of the Christmas joy this amount would spread among the poor people of Tulsa and do your bit. Here is an excellent chance for you to join the Good Fellows Club for only one dollar. Don't be a shaker!

One Out of Many
AT LAST a preacher of the clergy has been found who is big enough, broad enough and liberal minded enough, and honest enough to open the doors of his heart and mind, and his church as well, to the truth concerning God's plan of human salvation. That preacher is Rev. G. W. Washington, pastor of a Methodist church at Bartlesville. This open hearted, fair minded man by his actions recently in extending welcome to the Hon. Richard J. Hill, an International Bible Student of Tulsa, who spoke in Bartlesville on two different occasions, has set a very laudable example for other preachers to emulate. He has opened the doors of his church to Mr. Hill and proclaimed publicly that his beliefs concerning God's great plan do not conflict with the doctrine of the International Bible Students as promulgated by Mr. Hill.
Mr. Hill spoke in Bartlesville last Sunday. The meeting had been advertised for a public hall, but this minister invited the speaker to go to his church that his members might have the benefit of his lecture. Mr. Hill accepted and at the conclusion of his talk the pastor dismissed his congregation commenting very favorably on the lecture and extending the Tulsa man a standing invitation to hold future meetings in his church. Contrast this great man with others of the clergy who are wilfully antagonizing God's own messengers in opposing and attempting to refute the doctrines of the International Bible Students.
Here is a man of the ministry who is too big and noble hearted to be bound by the mandates of the church denomina-
THE TULSA STAR Saturday, Dec. 4, 1920
tions and who, despite the same, has the manly courage to welcome into his church one of God's faithful servants who in seeking to enlighten his fellow man is preaching a doctrine contrary to the decree of the churches. The higher powers in his church, when this called to their attention, as it doubtless will be by some of his brethren, may call him to task for his action, but whatever loss he may sustain by reason of his gentlemanly and Christian conduct in this particular case will be more than counterbalanced by the higher reward that comes through the self-consciousness he must feel that he has followed his own conviction of right and in so doing has rendered a real service to God and to humanity. Rev. Washington has proved himself above the average in his class and has earned the commendation of sober thinking people of all denominations. It will not be long now before the common people of other denominations will demand an open house for the great truth of God's plans, and when they do there'll be a great commotion among the fellows who have been growing fat on their doctrine of sulphuric blazes emanating from the Plutorial regions for the eternal punishment of God's creatures.
Something to Crow About
THE TULSA STAR is the only Race journal in Oklahoma printed in its own shop, and carrying eight pages of original news matter—no patent pages. This is an accomplishment of which we are justly proud, but in mentioning it we do not intend any reflection on other Race journals. Look over the pages of this paper and compare it, if possible, with any other Race journal in the state—or west of the Alleghenys, for that matter—and you will find in its columns more news matter to the square inch than it is possible to find in any of our contemporaries mentioned. That's why the Star is the more popular newspaper and accounts for our large and ever increasing subscription list. It is an indisputable fact, and unquestioned, that we have the most complete printing plant owned by members of our group anywhere in the country with only one exception—the National Publishing Company at Nashville, a corporation with a million dollars or more behind it.
Thousands of dollars have been invested in equipment to make this claim possible with a view of rendering the best possible service as a newspaper and commercial printing plant to our patrons. We are continually adding to this equipment in our desire to increase our efficiency. Within the last month we have put in more than $1,200 worth of new equipment and within the next month will get at least as much more. In this way we expect to maintain our standard of efficiency in rendering real service to the public.
Besides our own, we print four other publications, two monthlys and two weeklies, and in each case we are rendering absolute satisfaction.
At present only nine people are employed in conducting this enterprise, but places are open now for at least four more people and will be filled as fast as we can find them. This is the kind of Race enterprise the people of Tulsa and Okiahoma are fostering when they patronize the Tulsa Star.
ONE YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION to the Tulsa Star will make a valuable Christmas present that would be highly appreciated by the recipient of the gift as well as by this office. Start it off with our annual Christmas number which will be issued December 18th. Get your order in early.
SOME OF OUR GROCERY STORES evidently have not been informed that the high cost of living is moderating downward and continue to profiteer.
