S. Supreme Court Will Be Again Asked to Review Cases of Condemned Men LITTLE BOCK, Ark., Dec. 10—According to information received here the case of Robert Knox, Ed Colman, Ed Hicks, Frank Hicks, Frank Moore and Paul Hall, connected for murder in connection with the Elaine riot carried to the United States Supreme Court. This court has already denied a petition by attorneys for the men to review the cases, but it is expected that a writ of habitas corpus will be applied for before the federal judge hert which if granted, will allow the cases to go to the Supreme Court, or take a direct appeal on errors of the State Court. The first course is considered mort favorable. The Governor was officially notified Wednesday morning by the clerk of the State Supreme Court that the mandate from the U. S. Supreme Court had been received but said he would not set the date of execution until the attorneys for the men had been given a chance to carry out their signified intention of availing themselves of further legal action in the courts. Attorneys for the other six Colored men involved, Ed Ware, Will Wordlow, Albert Giles, Joe Fox, John Martin and Alf Banks, Jr., whose cases are in pending in the State Supreme Court, have previously stated if the State Supreme Court affirmed these sentences appeals would be taken. The attorneys however, are strongly confident that t he State Court will reverse these cases, as it is their contention that they are much stronger than the previous six. NO MONEY FOR MUSKOGEE SCHOOLS Raised Teachers' Salaries and Now Schools Must Shut Down on Account of It Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 10—The salaries of the teachers in the white schools were rashed on account of the H. C. L., and the white schools are going to run full term September to June 1 as usual. Not so with the Colored schools and school patrons have had a Committee headed by Attorney R. Emmett Steward, looking into the matter of why our schools last September both patrons pitiful and long due advance was made in salaries of our teachers, Anyhow, ever since the opening of schools last September both patrons and teachers have been expecting schools to be shut down most any old time. Early in the present week the school board met and took up the matter of shortage of funds for the Colored schools, and it was made known that the schools could not run any longer than the middle of March, meaning a loss of two months and a half school training for Colored school children. A committee consisting of Frank Lee and E. W. Smartt, members of the board and Supt. J. Tigle was appointed to investigate in hopes of finding some remedy. No definite plans have yet developed and the hopes of the patrons are wrapped up in what ever can be done by their representative, well known attorney, R. Emmett Stewart.

Five People Under Arrest in Connection With The Ft. Coffey Killing What Others Think It is not without a great sacrifice of personal modesty that the Editor of the Star has permitted the publication of the following letters. They have been selected from among several others of the same nature, because they express two views or rather the same view—one from a white man and one from a Colored man—on editorials on race questions recently published in these columns for which there has been some criticism by supposed-to be leaders of our group. It is for this reason only that these letters are permitted to appear in print. The Editor is, of course, highly appreciative of the kind expressions found in these letters, as well as others we have received and the splendid American spirit manifested in them. strengthens our faith in the great cause we are trying to espouse and encourage us in the belief that publicity should be given them. We submit them to our readers with due apology: Hutchison, Kansas, Dec. 4, 20 Mr. A. J. Smitherman. Editor Tulsa Star, Tulsa, Okla. My dear Mr. Smitherman: I have read with approval your editorials in the "Star" of Nov, 27th lative to the Inter-racial Conference recently held in your state and the one on "Race Segregation" re- produced from one of your daily papers with your comments. I desire to commend you for your position on both of them. Your attitude is that of a full hearted true American and a Christian. As a white man, I heartily agree with you, and because of our long standing friendship, I am especially proud of you. Some day the God loving Christian people will dominate this old world and then every man will be recognized and appreciated according to his merits, not according to his race. In the meantime may God bless you abundantly. My wife joins me in best wishes for you and yours. Sincerely, your friend, J. ARTHUR DAY. ALSUMA OKLA My dear Mr. Smitherman: I have read and re-read the article in the Star dated Nov. 27th, relative to the Oklahoma City reader writing to the Tulsa World relative to the Repeal of the Jim Crow—Separate School Laws. I also read the World's reply. I was in conversation not long ago with a supposed-to-be intelligent gentleman from your city and a minister of my town. They both pointed out to me that they thought the Jim Crow law was the best for the two races, in fact one said that the Negro wasn't jim crowed enough. I argued the point that I would never be satisfied with any law that was humiliating. And I want to say to you my dear sir, what you said concerning this question expresses my sentiments exactly, and I hereby take this method of commending you on that as well as many other public questions that come up occasionally. I think you one of the manliest men, not only in Tulsa, not only in Oklahoma, but one of the best race men in the United States. In fact my hat is off to you. Respectfully, M. C. BALDTRIP. Mrs. A. G.

This Earth Is The Home of Natural Man FOUR "And God said, let us make man in our image after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the sea and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth. So God creator he him male and female, created He them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowls of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."—Gen. 1: 26-28 the and less will has or dir all obs as da sin, by and me Chi The Divine Right of Kings to rule the people of the earth by force or otherwise, is a false doctrine. It had its origin with Satan and was promulgated by a blinded and selfish bunch of preachers. The Divine right of the clergy is likewise a false doctrine. It will be noticed by referring to the foregoing Seriorial text that God created man a perfect being, and endowed him with attributes of justice, wisdom love and power, and gave him dominion over the things of the earth. This commission was not given to man to lord it over one another, but every one was to be equal. It was Gods plan to fill the earth with a perfect healthy and happy race of people. Had the first man Adam mained in harmony with the Divine Law this domination would never had passed from the human race. Satan was ambitious for a dominion, and so he began to plan to have a dominion of his own by usurping through fraud and deceit, that which was given to man (Isaiah 14: 13:14) Satan was in Eden with Adam and Eve and took advantage of the opportunity to steal from man his right to domination over all things of the earth. (Fz. 28:13.15) Since then he, the Devil has organized various systems by which the people under his dominion are controlled. One of the things that he has promulgated was the divine right of Kings to rule generally over the earth; and another was the Divine right of the Clergy to rule over the earth which he organized first in the Catholics, afterwards uniting the most of the Protestant Clergy, and with them formed an alliance between the Kings of professional ruling class, the financial strong one and the preachers, for the further purpose of keeping the people in ignorance of their own rights and under his dominion. Man has been for centuries endeavoring to establish a Righteous Government; Satan, at each step, has thwarted this purpose. It must follow from the above conclusions that if the power of Satan be destroyed, and man should be redeemed and uplifted from his present condition of sin, sickness, weakness and death, that he would have fully restored to him the dominion of earth which God purposed for the foundation of the foundation of the world. Happy is the man who finds clearly outlined in Gods plan that this is the purpose of Jehovah. Satan has blinded men from this knowledge of God's plan for hundreds of years, best this glorious good news should shine into their hearts and they might be released from his dominion. (2d Cor. 4:3.0) Jesus, giving the revelation to St. John, states that Satan is to be restrained of his will power: "That he should deceive the nations no more," and that this will take place at the second coming of our Lord and the establishment of Messiah's Kingdom, (Rev. 20:1-4) The Apostle sets forth that when with the spirit of his mouth, (the message of truth) and shall destroy with the brightness of his presence." (2d Thes. 2:8) Then the Apostle makes clear that ultimately Christ will destroy Satan. (Heb 2:4) With Satan destroyed, then what should we expect for mankind. Man's original right, when perfect, was to have Life-Overlasting in a state of happiness, on the earth and to dwell in peace. By disobeying God's law he lost, not only the dominion of earth, but the right of life, liberty and happiness. Shall we reach the conclusion then then that God's original Plan will never be carried out? That He intended to do a thing which He is unable to do? We answer no, God never fails in any of His purposes. He accomplishes that which He intends. "Thus saith the Lord, my word that goeth forth out of my mouth, it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that for which I please, and it shall prosper in the things whereunto I sent." (Isaiah 55:11) God's original purpose to give man dominion over the earth is definitely settled by the Scriptures. St. Paul, in speaking of this original purpose, under inspiration wrote: "Thou hath put all things in subjection under his (man) feet For in that He put all in subjection under him. He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him." (Heb. 2:8) The clear information to be drawn from this statement is that God will yet put all things under subjection to man Mark, this does not say that He will put one class of men under subjection to another but the beasts of the field, the fowls of the air, the fish of the sea and all the earth itself shall be subject to man, and man shall enjoy it because it was made for that purpose. Why then, if God is going to accomplish His purpose, did He permit Satan to get possession and dominion for a time? The answer is first. He is permitting man to have a full and complete experience with A. R. R. J. the beneful effects of wrong doing and thus by experience to learn the lesson that only a rightful course will lead to happiness; second, He has permitted Satan to demonstrate or show the depths of his wilful, dirty and wicked character so that all other creatures might learn by observation and avoid such course as the Devil has pursued; third, during the experience of man with sin, God is making manifest His love by His Great Plan of redemption and the selection from amongst men those to be associated with Christ Jesus in His Glorious Kingdom. The chief part of the out working of this Great Plan was and is the redemption and deliverance of man from sin and death. Because of Adam's disobedience, the whole race is born imperfect, all are sinners, (Romans 5:12) and by the obedience of Christ Jesus unto death, the whole race shall be offered the opportunity of Life and blessings. (Romans 5:18) Jesus was made a man in order that He, by His death might purchase the human race, giving His life a corresponding price, a ransom for all, which all must know in due time. (Heb. 2:9; 141 Tem. 2:3-6) The death of our Lord provided not only by the purchase price but also all the rights incident to perfect life; name's domination over the earth, liberty and perfect happiness. Having purchased by His own life blood the human race, and restores to it that which was lost. (Ephe. 14) In speaking of His mission in coming to the earth and laying down His humanity for the benefit of man, Jesus uses a figure of speech, likening himself to bread which men eat to sustain life. He said: "I am the bread of Life. This is the bread which cometh from Heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die. I am the living bread which came down from Heaven; if any man eat of this bread he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh (humanity) which I will give for the life of the THE NEW YORK TIMES world." (John 6:48-51) He laid down His humanity at the cross, When He arose from the dead, a Divine creature, He still possessed the right to the humanity, which He will give for the life of the whole world. During the time from His ascension into Heaven to the beginning of the blessings of mankind, He has been preparing a place for His Bride, the Church, and selecting these members out from among men and developing them. (John 14:1-4— He promised to come again, and that His second coming would mark the end of Satan's domination, the end of the old order of things and the establishment of His kingdom of righteousness, during which time He will restore to man that which was lost by man's disobedience. Specifically, ask the question how it might be known as to when this time of great blessing would come to mankind? He answered that the end of the old order of things would be marked by the beginning of a world war, shortly followed by famine, and pestilence and revolutions, and that these would be the beginning of the end of the old order of things. (Matt. 24:7-14) The evidence is clear and conclusive that we have reached that time when the old world, Satan's domination, is falling, and is rapidly passing away. The Lord, by the brightness of the truth, is destroying his power. The people are becoming enlightened as to their rights and liberties. The great desire among the human race now for individual rights is due to the fact of the Lord's presence and the incoming of His Kingdom. Therefore the time is near at hand when the Lord will begin to restore to man that which he has lost.

Bix 4168 Portland, Ore from the beginning, made certain Kingdom; and seeing that this great pictures and had them recorded in the Bible, to enable the devout student of his word to ascertain when the Kingdom of the Lord would be due to be established. One of these pictures or illustrations is the Jubilee. When the Children of Israel entered the Land of Canaan God commanded them to keep every seventh year as a Sabbath year and when they had kept seven of these periods, namely, a term of forty nine years, the fifth year should be known as jubilee year. In that year the land should be idle, and every man who had lost anything must have it restored to him. He commanded that this should be for seventy times. The Jews failed to keep the jubilee; so God caused them to go into captivity for seventy years, that the land might be permitted to enjoy its jubilee. This did not affect, however, the time mark up of seventy periods of fifty years each. The Children of Israel entered the Land of Canaan 1575 B. C. seventy jubiles of fifty years between each cover a period of three thousand five hundred (3,500) years causing these pictures of typical cycles to end three thousand years after 1575 B. C. to wit, 1925 A. D. at which time the great antitypical Jubilee is due to begin. This should mark then, the beginning of the restoration of man to his original inheritance, the dominion of the earth life, liberty and happiness. This should mark the date when the Lord will begin to offer first to those who are living on the earth, this bread of Life that comes down from Heaven, "Which if any year eat he shall live forever." (John 6:51) Seeing then that God originally intended man to have dominion of the earth and have it as his perfect and earth and have it as his perfect home; seeing that God purpose must be accomplished and will be accomplished; seeing that he provided the purchase price for man His dominion and liberties, through the blood of Jesus Christ, who is the Life giving Bread for the world, seeing that these blessings must be begin at the end of the old order an won the establishment of Messiah...event to wit, the passing away of old order and the coming in of the new, is now at hand, it can confidently be stated that millions of people now living and walking upon the earth will never die and so into the grave. What wonderful good news is that to the poor groaning creation. To those who have ears to hear. This messages of good news must go to the world that those hearing may take advantage of it and prepare themselves for the blessings that are near at hand. This good news of the Kingdom shall be preached unto all Christendom, for a witness unto all Nations, and then the end shall come. (Matt. 21: 10). Let every one who is gladly looking forward to this blessed time take up this good news of the Kingdom and tell it to others, that others' hearts may be made to rejoice. With the end of the Milennial reign of Christ, man will be completely and fully restored to the dominion of earth, every man who is obedient to the law of God being made perfect, mentally morally and physically, and shall dwell on the earth in happiness forever. This message of the Kingdom to be established here upon the earth for the blessing of humanity should be preached in every Church in the world today that the broken heart, ed and the sorrowful who mourn because of the unjust condition of the world may have their hearts lightened with joy and hape looking to the new day that is so near. Woe unto the preacher who is standing in the way of this good news which the world is longing for. The truth concerning God's Kingdom is represented in some respects as God's Chariot, it has been rolling down the ages apparently against many difficulties especially J. W. HICOTTE, Ph.D. M. E.

The fourteenth amend- mena which was intended to give ‘the Negro the right to vole has been utterly disregarded in most of those states which have a very large Col. ored population, And it is known in every national election before the ballots have been cast, that at jeust 127 electoral votes are checked up aganist the Republican Party be- cause thousands of citizens are not given the right to vote.

Nailing The Lie (With apologies to our readers) THE STAR IS not in the class of a peremptor, but we are not overly optimistic in our opinion of the interracial conference at Oklahoma City this week. 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 is huge by white attendance at this conference, the purposes for which the meeting was called will fall on a financialization unless a use of duty and responsibility can be aroused in the white man. Four or five hundred 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 not to be done of the white man. Governor Robertson is a great man and a thing 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. Tulsa Star, Nov 27, 1920. The above editorial published in this paper two weeks ago, has been highly commended in letters we have received from some of the leading citizens of this state of both races; but it remained for the poor little pedantic editor of the Black Despatch of Oklahoma City to find fault with the sentiment therein expressed and to charge us with "childish discussion" and "wholesale assault on the Race Conference held in the capital." and thus predicated he throws a two-column spasm in a vehement but spineless, as well as senseless assault upon the editor of the Tulsa Star, who, he says: "sat through the whole conference, and although a forceful and seasoned speaker, he did not lift his voice against the great wrongs and mis-step that seem to have come to his attention at that time, or some time thereafter." From this point on the "spasm" reminds one very much of a blind man fumbling about in the dark, as he discussed things which were not even alluded to in the above editorial which seems to have stirred up his musk. We very sincerely regret the imposition upon our readers a reply of any kind to the insidious "spasm" of our contemporary must enforce, but because of the false position in which he has so clumsily sought to place us, and because of the harm his untenable position may mean to the Race, we respectfully ask the patient indulgence of nor readers long enough for us to shed some light on the subject. It is true that the Editor of the Star "sat through the whole conference" and did not "lift his voice against the great wrongs and missteps that seem to have come to his attention at that time or some time hereafter," but the Editor of the Black Despatch would have shown a spirit of fairness to have stated the reason. The Editor of the Star had been selected to speak for Tulsa county and fully intended to do so, but the ruling to call the counties alphabetically was adhered to and there were so many counties before Tulsa and so many empty, amidless, non-sequential and wholly nonsensical speeches made by representatives of other counties, that the Tula county spokesman, like the spokesmen for many other counties, did not get a chance to speak. Had the Editor of the Tulsa Star been given a chance to speak, he would have expressed his sentiment fully and completely, without fear or favor, and in doing so would have made it rather uncomfortable for certain applicants for the glory bench—seekers of empty honor—cringing, cowardly misfits who, while nosing as leaders, would compromise right with wrong to the everlasting detriment of our group. Men who would override the opportunities such conference might afford to better the conditions under which we live to promote their own selfish ambitions; petty politicians who would destroy the hopes of a race in their untoward cunning, selfish plots to elevate themselves to position. We wonder if the Editor of the Black Despatch could have remained comfortable in his seat under such merciless exposure! No, we did not lift our voice, and another good reason for our failure to do so is told n the front page of the Black Despatch last week—the same issue carrying this demented "spasm"—under the signature of Dr. I. W. Young, as follows: "What did the Negro contribute to the meeting? Very little save numbers and the impression upon the white man that his personal welfare is wrapped up in the solution of this vexations problem, and that he is willing and ready to contribute his part to the solution. But the Negro has already talked too much for his own good and the good of his friends many times, and that he is willing and ready to contribute it to that we were letting the emotion of the occasion run away with our euther judgment and that the pent up oratory amparaded for the want of an opportunity to display it before 'quality' was being let loose without any hope of present or future accomplishment. Let us 'can' the oratory and get down to sterner realities." Continuing our unisigned contemporary says: "It is a peculiar thing how the Tulsa Star, REAL SIMON PURE DEMOCRATIC NEGRO JOURNAL, that supported Cox and the national Democratic ticket, should throw such a funk and want the Jim Crow Law of Oklahoma repealed over night. We have hastily chased back through such file copies of that excellent journal as we have been able to preserve in our office, and we have failed yet to find a single issue, where the Tulsa Star contained a single editorial snawk about Jim Crowism during President Wilson's tenure of office. There might be one but in such event we have overlooked it in our very studied search." The substance of the above paragraph had no place whatever in our editorial on the conference. We take it, however, that this was intended for a reply in counterpart to our answer to the editorial "As to Race Legislation" published in one of our dailies two weeks ago. If so, let him make the most of it. It is true, though quite irrelevant and immaterial to the question at issue, that the Tulsa Star is a Democratic journal; it is so because we believe in the true principles of democracy; it is equally true that we supported Governor Cox, because we believed he was the logical candidate. Our faith in him was strengthened by personal correspondence with him and because of his open promise to enforce the Constitution of the United States. In all of this we were frank, open and above board; we had the courage of our conviction and do not regret the course we took. Nevertheless, we have never played the traitor to our race. As every reader of the Star knows, who has a better memory than the Editor of the Black Despatch, we have always strenuously and uncompromisingly opposed the rank injustices aimed singularly at our group, and as long as life lasts we will continue to register the protest of an outraged people against these wrongs. The Editor of the Black Despatch says he made a studied search through copies of the Star which he has oreserved and failed to find after his diligent search "a single editorial squawk about Jim Crowism during President Wilson's tenure of office" Absurd! Perhaps his search for this information was blinded by the selfish motive which evidently prompted his "spasm" of muddling. President Wilson was elected the first time in 1912, and again in 1916. He is in office in office. To satisfy our little friend that the Star has emitted a number of "editorial squawks" against Jim Crowism under the present administration, we submit the following, dating back to 1917. We choose the more recent ones because they will be more apt to refresh his memory. Read them: "Go to France and help fight for the honor and glory of your country, and by your efficient service as soldiers prove again to the world our title to American citizenship in its fullness, and if God should spare you to come back home after the cause of democracy has been vindicated, I believe and I think every one of you believe, you will find a haven of rest from the horrors of the world, home again legendary before you, fair chance for livelihood; where every man will in fact be equal before the law and where laws will be impartially enforced; where 'Jim Crow' and segregation laws will be unbound of injustices; where your children and mine, and all other Americans, may live and enjoy the right peace which you will have helped to establish; where the spirit of true democracy will reign. From France we call to the Editor of the Tulsa Star to departing soldiers of our group in Tulsa, November 3, 1917" THE SUPREME COURT of the United States has declared the segregation act unconstitutional, thus nullifying such city ordinances in every city in the country wherever they were enacted. The Supreme Court judges, it will eb be membered, are all Democrats. Thus it was Democratic rule which freed us from this humiliating nauseating stigma of race segregation, which we of Tulsa never knew until WE elected a Republican city administration. This brings the question home to us. The same tribunal in a previous decision gave us back our Now, the question is, how shall we use this power, the greatest weapon of defense known to our American citizenship? There is but one safe way to use it, and that is FOR OUR FRIENDS! GIVE US A MAN'S CHANCE "THE WORLD, has reached a stage wherein conditions are such that the different elements of race units in America should dwell together on common grounds of mutual understanding for the common good of our country. The unity of action we all have learned to understand is the same spirit that ought to permeate the actions of citizens of this country along all lines. The Colored man has never asked for anything but a man's chance and no truly good American would deny us at least that much of the 'world democracy'. We pray for the day that we can be free of racism and prejudice and that being hobbled down with the prejudices of so many low class, chican white people, it should not be a question as to where the Colored man should reside, and all should be concerned about improving his environments wherever he resides. We can not do this with race prejudice. It will take nothing more or less than human kindness and brotherly love to overcome it. We should not be held up against no other race under our flag, and give simply and justly a man's chance. We are drenching the soil of dear old France with our blood and in the face of bitter oppression here in our own land hundreds of thousands of us are ready to take the places to our boyhood called on to do so. Any race with such record as ours for the duty entitled to a great deal more civil and political recognition than is given our race in the dear old United States. Give us that which is ours by every constitutional right, and by the rights endowed upon all mankind by our Creator, and we will specially solve all questions touching the race if there should be any left.—Tulsa Star, November 16, 1918. Coming down to the present year, we submit the following editorials to --- THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, Dec. 11, 1920. belittle the claims of our persiflagical contemporary; WHITE HOUSE DAISY K. STAFF The above picture is emblematic of the kind of democracy the Tulsa Star stands for and expenses. In fact, it is a true representation of the true principles of democracy. Upon the principles here represented we are willing to chance the destiny of our race, because we believe in these as much as we believe God." —Tulsa Star, January 21, 1920. RACIAL DISCIMINATION is the direct cause for upheth of the friction between the states, only some remedy for these amphibious outreaches of race hatred is a strict and honest application. There can be no true democracy in any country where the principles of this rule are unheard. —Tulsa Star, January 26, 1920. ACCORDING to the vote in the House on Jim Crow there is absolutely no difference, so far as the Negro is concerned, between white men, whether they be Democrats or Republicans. However there are many of our people who sing the praises about the love the Republican party has for the Negro. Bain" —Tulsa Star, January 17, 1920. "BETTER UNDERSTANDING between the races and an honest adjustment of economic conditions in America is absolutely necessary for the welfare of both racial groups in this country and the society. This policy is adopted in every community the better it will be for the people of both races. lack of mutual understanding is the direct cause of most of our racial conflicts. The better element of both races should do away with the calamity howler and the hoodlums and cooperate for the common good of the common people. Until this is done there will be an permanent peace between the races." "The TULSA STAR is anonymous with any term meaning the civil and political rights of the American Colored man. In this we tax non-compromising" —Tulsa Star, April 5, 1920. THE "HIM CROW" EVILS. Few PEOPLE outside of our group can possibly realize the sting, the humiliation, the hardship that black men and women are forced to endure under the provisions and interpretation of the so called Jim Crow' law. A careful study on the part of any social student will reveal the arbitrary to a Christian in a sense of fairness, utterly incompatible and conducive to more friction between the races of public known in our government. It is a false theory that must some day be overcome; the solution must be found by a brave man of a later day, no doubt in the near future. In the meantime, we must continue to suffer the evils of the law such as are so often the railroad trains and street cars—enough to make desperadoes of men who have always been poor as a law abiding citizen. When we board a train after paying first class fare and find ourselves ushered into an all-important small and ill-equipped compartment set aside especially for our group and designated "For Negroes where men and women are most times compelled to sit together and use the same experiences, and realize that we are harried from the Pullman and chair cars behind, simply because we are the marvel that great Americans of proud United States of America, should seek to espouse the principles of other lands while her own go begging for mercy and justice"—Tulsa Star, April 24, 1920. "JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY for all men is the policy pursued by the Star. We ask no special favors for members of our group, but as citizens of our country we demand for them in common with other men, all that the Constitution and American citizenship entitles them to—nothing more; nothing less"—Tulsa Star, October 9, 1920. "JIM CROWISM, social and economic justice and equality are by no means symonious. There can be no justice and equality where the principles of discrimination prevail"—Tulsa Star, November 27, 1920. Surely this is sufficient evidence to prove our case even to the Editor of the Black Despatche, who charges that we oppose the principles of Jim Crowism without offering a remedy. We hope he will find our remedy in some of the above editorials. It is plain, simple justice—that's all. There is no middle ground between right and wrong and any man who attempts to compromise these two great forces brands himself as a moral coward, unfit to stand before God and His people. The principles of Jim Crowism are either right or wrong. We believe them wrong and hold them directly responsible for most of the trouble between the races. Mr. Alexander, a white man of Atlanta, Ga., who addressed the Inter-Racial Conference in Oklahoma City, said among other things: "The troubles between the races come from a lack of mutual understanding." The Star had already said the same thing and it is very true. Where the principles of Jim Crowism apply there can be no mutual understanding between the races. The lamented Fred Douglass opposed slavery because he knew it was wrong. He never at any times attempted to justify this nefarious institution and never once uttered a compromising word in its favor. He and other patriotic citizens continually denounced it and by constant agitation finally created the sentiment which eventually removed the stigma and gave the title of American citizenship to four million human chattels. If it was right for Douglass to oppose slavery with all its attending ills, then it cannot possibly be wrong for true hearted men to oppose the form of human slavery so common to the principles of Jim Crowism. There is no need of petting conditions which we know are wrong; it is quite useless for us to try to ease up on the blind side of our white brother. We must take our stand firmly and tearlessly against all manner of injustices toward mankind regardless of race or color, and demand what is manifestly right in the sight of God. There is no other remedy—unless it be first to get rid of the weak-kneed, chicken hearted, compromising "pusseyfooters" among us who are willing to take "the best we can get" though it be the worst for human souls. EN1D DOTS City, Mo., is visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Smith on East Market Street.

The socials have somewhat closed for better weather, but we look for reopenings at an early date. Mr. J. E. Stevenson, now of this City, but formerly of Chickasha has forced the writer to regard him as the most puntual young man of the race he has ever met in Okla. If he says he'll meet you, he'll do it. No weather is too ugly for him to fill his engagements. O, that we had millions like Mr. J. E. Stevenson! The Churches here ade all doing very nicely and planning for a nice Xmas, exertises. The Rev.

Adapted from the novelist's widely read story, "The Wag Lady," it is a drama of Alaska yet it bears not the slighter resemblances either to the "Brand," "The Spoilers," or any other of the Rex Beach epics of the Yukon. "The Girl from Outside" has a strength and a charm all its own. Its humanness and its youthful ideals place it beyond anything Rex Beach has writes. The character of June Campbell, the heroine, is among Rex Beach's finest creations.With her father, the girl, still in her teens starts from the States to the Klondike. She arrives alone, orphaned by the fate of her father. How June fights against numerous battles and triumphs in the end can be seen by seeing this wonderful story at —THE DINIE THEATRE.
