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.

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.

Denforth, an x-president of the Association, at present President of the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, John Miller, President of the Farmers Bank of Galva, Ill., and vice-president of the Association, and H. P. Brown, President of the Farmers Grain Dealers Association of Kansas, who is also interested in Farmer Bank in the state. This bank will be incorporated under general banking laws run on sound banking principals, but will give that consideration to the co-operative marketing of farm products. Harry N. Robinson of Cleveland, pointed out in emphatic terms some of the defects of the present speculative system of marketing grain and said that it was time for the farmer through his Farmers elevator and business associations to go further with the marketing of grain a resolution was passed endowing the establishment of grain commission firms and ownership of terminal elevators. Chas, Latchaw of Ohio reviewed the activities of the Ohio Association in the purchase of farm supplies handled by the Farmers Elevator Companies, and pointed out the possibilities of taking the entire output of factories manufacturing Farm supplies that are handled by the 1600 Farmers Elevators in the motion. The Convention voted to establish state and national Wholesale Purchasing Associations. "The bill to eliminate "short selling" of grain on the Boards of Trade which Senator Capper of Kosaa states he will introduce in this session of Congress was read to the convention. Several undesirable features were pointed out in the brief discussion and although the sentiment of the association was strong in favor of the purpose of the bill it was referred to the legislative committee for further inspection before an endorsement of it would be given. SAVED BY FOUR FEET Colored Man Retains Office Thru Owning Four Foot Lot. (Star News Service) St. Luis, Mo.,—In Missouri the law requires that an office holder shall be a tax payer, and that he shall have paid taxes for four years prior to his election to office. W. M. Moore was the only Colored man elected to the legislature last fall and an attempt was made to disqualify him on the grounds that he was not a taxpayer. It was found however on the records of the City Collector's office, that Moore was the owner of a lot with four feet frontage and that he had paid back taxes for four years amounting to 4.35. This qualifies Moore to take his seat. He is a native of Alabama and former Howard University student. (A. N. P. Service) OFFICIAL COUNT GIVES HAWKINS 6.538 (Star News Service) (Star News Service) (Star News Service) A N. P. Service READ THE TULSA STAR nights since, made an instant hit. Yesterda, he made a flying trip to Tia Juana, Mexico, just across the border. He recounts his experiences of the trip as follows: "Tia Juana is a picturesque little town with a lot of men standing around and looking like Villa or members of Villa's old army. I have not looked up the meaning of Tia Juana in the Spanish dictionary, but it ought to mean HELL; for since the United States whet dry it has concentrated within itself all th gambling, whisky and loose women of southern california. It is "wide open," with police protection standing around in the shape of "Willista"—looking policemen. It is said that the governor of this Mexican province has been getting $40,000.00 a month for allowing this oasis to American vice. Things that have been outlawed in most parts of the United States, are concentrated; every gambling device from amber-colored dice up to great wheels and turning boards and automatic machines—all calculated to earn more dollars than they turn loose. "It is pronounced something like Tee-ah-wan-nah, and a Colored comedians said in San Diego: "They have goo Tee over there and Ah wan nah go back!" And American dollars do it all,—not a Mexican dollar in sight. And all the wasted women are Americans. They stand and gamble at the roulette wheel or the dice table with the roughest men. There were no Mexican women and just one Colored Antrican woman. There were all sorts of men. What does this mean?—Well dressed and wearing diamonds These women go into all the drinking and gambling places on equality with the men,—and they seem fascinated by it. They clap their hands and jump up on their toes when they win a little stack of money. None of them seem to need the money; they seem to like the life. "On one of the streets is advertised in big letters 'Jack's Place.' It is where Jack Johnson made his "last stand." You remember he held out against the United States longer than Germany. Tia Juana is the last place where he conducted a sort of cabaret before he surrendered. No wonder he preferred a jail in Illinois! For the sordidness of this little copy of hell must gore a man with the tastes of jail. "I remarked about the awfulness of this Sodom, and a man replied: "O, it's like Sunday School here today. You ought to see it at its worst. We gestrally have mort women here than we have today,—and most of them drunk—many in the gutters—fine dresses and all." "And mind you, this thing, tho in Mexico, is AMERICAN! American men running most of the gambling places,—Americans furnishing most of the gamblers,—American women flaunting all of their shame,—and the American eagle on the American dollar spreading his pinions over all this little hell. DR. BENTLEY LECTURES AT HOWARD He Shows That Bad Teetth are Re sponsible for Systematic Diseases A. N. P. Service Washington, Dec. 11—Dr. Chas E. Bentley, of Chicago, Illinois, regarded as the most representative man of the Race in dental surgery, formerly President of the Chicago Odontographic Society, and formerly Vice-President of the Chicago Dental Society, the largest local Dental Society in the world, is delivering a course of lectures at the Howard University, the subject of his address being "Systematic Effects from Oral Infection." In his address Dr. Bentley said: "Possibly the most absorbing subject of interest before the American people today that affects alike the lay, the medical and the dental worlds is the subject of systematic diseases due to focal infections. It has been found in the experimental laboratories that diseased teeth are responsible for a large percentage of these systematic diseases, and as a result the whole practice of medicine and denistry are being re-organized." Says There is Greater Work Than Fighting Marcus Garvin (By The Associated Negro Press) Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 10—Speaking before a large crowd of our group at the Union Hope Baptist Church Charles E. Rochelle, young orator said: "I have no time to wage war against Marcus Garvey and his followers. I admire Garvey for his vision and ambition. I am more concerned about the redemption of America and a Nationalist first through and through. "In Flanders field the popies grow beneath the crosses row on row." These boys-died waging a war for democracy. I shall not be one to break faith with them b yrunning away. I shall show my gratitude to them by working to suppress the wrongs done to us here in America and thereby carry on the work which they have started." Rochelle is a member of the staff of the Pittsburgh American. Viscount Ishii addressed the assembly following a report on the work accomplished by the committee on organization which was read by A. J. Balfour. "Japan had an opportunity when the league covenane was framed to declare her firm belief in equality before the law," said the Japanese statesman. "We believe that equality should be assured to all men, irrespective of nationality, race or religion. "The Japanese government and people deeply regretted that the original framers of the league covenant refused to accept the Japanese proposal. The Japanese delegates gave notice they would continue to insist upon adoption of the proposal. "However, in view of present circumstances, Japan is strongly persuaded that the league is in a stage where consolidation, organization and actual workings, based upon the present covenant, should be acceded greater attention and deeper deliberation than questions relating to a fundamental principle which might involve revision of the covenant. "From that point of view, Japan is refraining from making any concrete proposal at the assembly on the question of equal rights and equal opportunity Japan will patiently bide her time until a more opportune moment." Harding Refuses _to_ Comment on Request of Haitian President (By The Associated Negro Press) Aboard S. S. Pastores, Dec. 10—The steamship bearing President-elect Harding's party to Norfolk was not far off Haiti, but Senator Harding refused to comment on the request of the President of Haiti for a congressional investigation into the American military administration of the island republic.

Long, former manager of the Muskogee Electric Traction Company, is promoting an electric interurban railway connecting Muskogee, Okmulgue and Shawnee. It is asserted that eastern capital has been interested and that preliminary surveys and cost estimates have been made. A definite anouncement of plans will be given out shortly after Christmas. NEWS LETTER One Dollar and costs was the corporation commission's fine against the Calhoun Gin Company for violation of the commission's order setting $2.00 as the price per bale for bailing and tying cotton, assessed Wednesday, December 1. Evidence showed that the gtn company charged $2.25 per bale and refused to refund excess payment to the cotton growers. Final hearings in the case of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in the matter of the increase in rates in the cities of Tulsa, Muskogee and Okmulgee will occupy the attention of the Corporation Commission during December. No definite rate increase was asked by the Company, but a higher rate is implied in the submission of statements of the valuation and net income of the local properties. The Oklahoma City and the Anadarko hearings on the same matter were held Friday, Dec. 3rd. Oklahoma crops crop yield in 1920 is 36 per cent above the State's average yield according to figures just made public. The value of corn, kaffirs, wheat, oats and cotton in Oklahoma is greater than the total value of all crops in any previous year, except 1919. The value of all crops in Oklahoma in 1909 was $133,000,000. The 1920 total value is $280,000,000 or $140 for every person in the State. The 3,000 blind persons now in Oklahoma have at their disposal for the first time in the history of the State, volumes which can be read by four different touch systems—American and English Braille, the Moon, and the New York Point. Orders for 125 volumes have been placed according to Mrs. J. R. Dale, Secretary of the Oklahoma Ligrary Commission. The Government will frank these volumes through the mails and will also furnish a return seal for the Book. Hearing of the Oklahoma Natural Gas Companys request for a city gas rate was resumed before the Corporation Commission in Oklahoma City, Thursday, December 2. The gas company contends that city distributing companies should pay flat rates for gas the same as customers now pay the local distributing companies. The gas company further contends that it is not getting a fair return upon valuation. It claims an original cost valuation in excess of $15,000,000 and a reproduction value of $30,000,000, upon which was earned a net income in $1919 of $1,340,000, with no allowance for depreciation. Editor's Note: Gas and electric companies in Oklahoma daily serve more than 225,000 customers. According to statisticians, average American families number five persons. It is therefore safe to assume that annually 1,125,000 persons, or more than one-half of the people of this State, are customers of the compa. nies furnishing these services. Tele- phone companies in Oklahoma have in excess of 200,000 subscribers availing more than 1,000,000 people of service. Street and electric rail- ways have averaged 32,000,000 pas- sengers per year for the last ten years. In the light of these figures it is not necessary to emphasize how closely the lives, happiness and comfort of every man, woman and child in Oklahoma are vitally af- fected by utility service. Every per- son who uses a telephone, rides on a street car, cooks or reads with gas or electricity is entitled to have uncolored facts concerning these companies presented to them. CASTLEBERRY, ALA.

Mr. Editor, the Supreme Court said court wherein Roberta Green is will take up my boys' cases on the 16th of December next. The atmosphere looks better.

BRISTOW DOTS — The farmers are up against it making cotton; paying $200.00 per ton and getting $19.05 for lint. Hardly any farmer can earn his debt. The Masons gave a Box Supper and made good. Some of the Boxes sold as high as $5.65; none sold lower than $3.00. They had 18 boxes. Mr. I West. A. Canady and A. Echols were on the committee. All are great entertainers. Dunbar Lodge was invited to lay a Cornerstone at Depew on the 28th and the weather was so bad we failed to show up. The Lodge is said to be well prepared in all performances. Mrs. Emma Wolfe, Worthy Matran of the O. E. S. had an entertainment. It was so nice and instructive and did so much good until she had eight applicants at her next meeting. Mrs. Wolfe is the right woman in the right place. Her officers, Miss Mary Wolfe, Miss Minnie Wolfe, Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Echoles are as bright as a dollar in all their work and they never miss a meeting. Mrs. Estelle Wolfe, Georgia Wolfe and Lillie M. West, the Belles of Bingham will leave after the holidays to go back to Langston and Flipper.Key-Davis Universities. Prof. Johnson and O. T. Willis, and Mrs. Grissom attended the Teachers' Association at Tulsa last week and Oh! what a time. Well the election is over and some body must go away back and sit down. Politics is as uncertain as the Oklahoma weather. Mr. Jewel Phillips has brought a new buggy and a fine pair of bay horses. He can be seen going East in a long trot and pull at Mr. ____ gate. Something will happen like wedding bells about Xmas. Mr. Arthur Canady, the Chesterfield of Bingham, goes South of Bristow and North of Bingham equal times. I can hear the bells ringing now. Who will be the Bride is the talk. I know but I won't say. Schools opened Monday, December 6th with Prof. O. T. Willis, Principal. Miss Minnie Wolfe will teach in the county this winter. BLAMES RUM FOR HAITI TROUBLES (A. N. P. Service) Port Au Prince, Dec. 10—"Eye Witness," the special correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, who has been giving careful observation of conditions in Haiti, has declared that drunkenness is at the bottom of most of the trouble in the republic, but the drunkenness is among the white foreigners, some officials and not the natives. His statement is most remarkable, and he says: "After a fortnight of patient and often disheartening observation of occupation affairs I am convinced that a great part of the story of our troubles may be told in three letters. They are R-U.M. To an American planter I said: "I am beginning to think maybe 50 per cent of all these scandals are due to drink. The answer was, 'more than 50 per cent.' During a fortnight in this black republic's capital I have not seen one black man intoxicated. All the intoxication has been among white foreigners, and sometimes even officials. Col. Russell, commanding the first provincial brigade of marines, is a most conscientious officer and correct gentleman. Order after order is issued, but the evil continues. Drinking here is doubly vicious because rum is so potent a stuff that it seems to fly to the white men's heads almost instantaneously, with the consequence that intense nervousness and irascability, as well as diminished physical resistance, results. I long debated whether to touch on these matters, but they are so flagrant that somebody should speak of them." the white race alone that the Japanese sh the same rights to mi whites. JACK JOHNSON CAN'T APPLY FOR PARDON (A. N. P. Service) Washington. Dec. 10—The Department of Justice has refused to permit the filing of application for a pardon case of "Jack" Johnson year and a day at Leavenworth. The reason given for thus refusing the application of Johnson's Attorney, Elisha Scott, of Chicago, is that Johnson is not eligible for such consideration until one-third of his term shall have been served. That will be about January 19, next and until then no application will be filed. Mr. Scott says that he has no proof that in furnishing the who is now serving a term of one Gally 3 money fir the transportation on the girl in the case, Johnson was doing a purely philanthropic act. President of Equal Rights League Tours Middle West (A. N. P. Service) Boston, Mass., Dec. 10—Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, new president of the National Equal Rights League, has begun a tour of the Middle West for the purpose of acquaint ing the people with the plans of the organization, in the fight of the League against discrimination and injustice. A strong defense fund is being raised. Dr. Shaw is one of the leading orators of the Race, and is speaking under the direction of the National Organizer, Rev. H. B. Hayes, Evansville, Ind. The Equal Rights League has sent a letter to Oswald G. Willard, organizer of the Committee of one Hundred investigating Irish troubles, urging that the Committee also extend to "the assaults and killing of unhappy Americans of African extraction. Feeling Runs High in Haiti (A. N. P. Service) Port Au Prince, Haiti, Dec. 10 — The local sewspapers are continuing to bring charges which are pronounced by Major Jesse F. Dyer to be based wholly on rumors or hear say, and hence not of a kind that can be presented to the court. These publications wildly agitated the natives, who claim the court has refused a sweeping investigation. The feeling in Port Au Prince is tense, causing the military watch the situation keenly. The natives say many persons with direct evidence have been intimidated and also Americans here in business know a great deal which they are unwilling to tell the cop. The Haitians generally assume there will be a congressional investigation before which they hope to present grievances. JEWS DENOUNCE NEW PROPAGANDA New York, Dec. 0—The Jewish people of America have at last spoken in no uncertain terms against the proganda that has been used against them for a number of months by Henry Ford and others who seek, as they claim to misrepresent their attitude before the American people. The document is signed by the leading Jewish people, of all activities, in every section of the country. In closing the statement the following appeal is made: "We have an abiding confidence in the spirit of justice and fairness that permeates the true American and we are satisfied that our fellow citizens will not permit the campaign of slander and libel that has been launched against us to go unreproved. There is enough for all of us to do in the great task of building up our common country and of developing the principles on which it was founded. Let not hatred and misundertstanding arise where peace and harmony, unity and brotherliness are required to perpetuate all that America represents and to enable all men to know that within her wide boundaries there is no room for injustice and intolerance. This public address was prepared as the result of a confidence of leading Jewish organizations called by the American Jewish committee to discuss the wildspread campaign of secret and public anti-Jewish propaganda in the United States. The American Jewish committee was incorporated in 1911 in New York State "to prevent the infraction of the civil and religious rights of Jews in all parts of the world to secure for Jews equality of economic, social and educational opportunity to alleviate the consequences of persecution, and to afford relief from calamities affecting Jews whenever they may acer." JAPS WANT SAME RIGHTS AS WHITES By The Associated Newspaper Tokio, Dec. 10—The Nichi Nichi today announces a speech made at the Roosevelt club in Boston recently by United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in which Sen- tor Lodge declared that the United States, Australia, Canada and New Zealand should have an agreement to retard Asiatic immigration. The newspaper says one would think the world was created for the white race alone and declares that the Japanese should demand the same rights to migrates as the whites. The American people are characterized by the Nichi Nichi as being more dangerous to the world than are the yellow race. RECTOR FERGUSON PROMOTED (By The Associated Negro Press) (By The Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Dec. 10—Rector Le. Roy Ferguson, for a number of years Rector of the Church of Our Merciful Savior, has accepted a call to the Church of St. Cypria in Boston. This is decidedly an upward step for Rector Ferguson, because St Cyprian is one of the largest Episcopalian churches among our people. Rector Ferguson came to Louisville fifteen or sixteen years ago. He has always stood for progress. The new church edifice and parish house at Eleventh and Walnut Streets are monuments to his energy and ability to do things. Rector Ferguson also did great work in the late war and served with the Y. M. C. A. forces in France. (By The Associated Negro Press) (By The Associated Negro Press) Geneva, Dec. 10. - Viscount Kikujiro Ishii, head of the Japanese delegation at the league of nation meeting, announced that Japan will not press the resolution for racial equality at the present session of the league assembly.

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.

The Red Cross Nurses will begin a series of lessons to patrons and friends of the school on Tuesday, Dec. 7th. These lessons will be along the line of first aid in the home in cases of sickness. All lessons are free with a free manual. Every one is cordially invited. First lesson at 8 o'clock at Dunbar School. Our Play park apparatus is being gotten together, by spring, we hope to have a well equipped school park. The thrift club is doing well, pupils are saving their money each week.

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.

Dyer of Missouri addressed a mass meeting in the Brooklyn Academy of Music on December 9., at which he will urge the passage of a federal anti-lynching law. Mr. Dyer has introduced such a bill in the House and Senator Chas. Curtis of Kansas has introduced a similar bill in the Senate. Passage of the measure is expected in the next session of Congress. Colored Student Excels in Radio Work A. N. P. Service Schenectady, New York. Dec. 10. Probably the only student in Union College to have had experience in trans-Atlantic radio work is Wendell W. King, a Colored student who entered college in 1916, but spent two years in the signal corps of the army. He returned last year to finish his course in electrical engineering. He is now a Junior and chief engineer of the college radio club. His hobby as King himself admits, is wireless telegraphy, in which he has been interested in an amateur way since 1911. He was among the first to suggest the use of the powerful Union College radio set for sending out aerial weekly, a feature which has proved highly successful. In college he is also a member of the Cosmopolitan club. Equal Pay For Colored Teachers Demanded (By The Associated Negro Press) Baltimore, Md., Dec. 10—Rovision of the 1921 salary schedule for the teachers in the high schools and teachers' training schools, for the purpose of equalizing the pay of white and Colored teachers, was requested of the School Board by the Board of Estimates. The request was the result of complaint from the educational section of the Women's Civic League and a delegation of Colored citizens and taxpayers that in arranging its salary increases the School Board discriminated against the Colored teachers WASHINGTON SHOCKED AT MURDER OF EMINENT PHYSICIAN (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Dec. 10—All Washington was shocked by the dastardly murder of Dr. Robert W. Brown, one of the oldest and most highly respected physicians here. Agout nine o'clock Saturday, November 27th, a young Colored man, apparently about twenty-five years old, and weighing about 135 pounds was admitted to Dr. Brown's office by Dr. Julian Dabney Jackson, of Norfolk, Virginia, who was visiting at the Brown residence. Dr. Jackson, believing the man a patient of Dr. Brown's, went upstairs. He heard the two men talking, and hearing shots he went downstairs to find the body of Dr. Brown lying near the front door. A description of the murderer was given by Dr. ackson to Headquarters Detectives Sweeney and Baur and to Inspector Grant, who investigated the case. The police found the pistol with which the shooting was done and this pistol together with the finger prints on the brick wall will be used as clues. No reason for the murder is known to exist, but some months ago Dr. Brown received a threatening letter in which he was advised to leave a certain sum of money near the Union Station. This was left at a time and place called for in the letter, but detectives were on hand to find the party, who, however, did not appear. Dr. Brown lived at his home, 737 11th Street, N. W., with his two young daughters, Pearl and Roberta his wife having died about a year ago. He was one of the largest real estate owners in the District of Columbia, his property being valued at $50,000.00. He was a resident and general manager of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, with headquarters at 609 F Street, N. W. The murderer made his escape. Kills White Man For Insulting Colored Girl. Freed by Jury of White Men (By The Associated Negro Press) Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec 10—For the first time in the history of the state, Colored man was acquitted for the murder of a white man. After deliberating for twenty hours, the jury acquitted E. T. Walhour who shot Joseph V. Conway last May, after Conway had insulted a Colored girl friend who was walking along the street with Walhour. Conway had attacked Walhour from the rear when Walhour wheeled and shot him in self-defense. Attorney George H. White Jr., represented Walhour. (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, Dec. 10—The terrible extent to which lynching is taking hold of the United States, is set forth in a special appeal by James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary, N. A. A. C P., through The Associated Negro Press. Mr. Johnson says: Two days before Thanksgiving Day a Mississippi mob battered down the doors of the courtroom. seized a prisoner who was being tried at a special term of the court. and dragged him at the end of a rope tied to the rear of an automobile, finally hanging the lifeless body and riddling it with bullets. On Thanksgiving Day a New York newspaper published the fallowing headline: MOB LYNCHES WRONG MAN BY MISTAKE "Georgia Posse Shoots Brother of" Man Who Killed White." In Mississippi the sanctity of a courtroom was violated, in Georgia newspaper published the following an innocent man was brutally murdered. No one will be punished for participation in these or the fifty other atrocities which have disgraced the United States before the world in 1920. The American people are now given opportunity to end this disgrace, Senator Curtis and Representative Dyer have introduced in Congress a federal anti-lynching bill which provides: 1. For a $10,000.00 fine to be paid by any country in which a lynching occurs. 2. For prosecution of negligent state and county officers in the United States courts. 3. For trial on charge of murder in a United States Court of all participants in lynchings. May we, through the Associated Negro Press ask those citizens who want lynchings in the United States stopped, to write their senators or representatives urging the enactment of federal anti-lynching legislation? Yours very truly, James Weldon Johnson, Sect'y. PLAY GROUNDS FOR COLORED AMERICANS (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, Dec. 10—The Park International, an illustrated, bi-monthly magazine published in Washington, D. C., offers from widely chosen sources, guidance in the development and enjoyment of park areas, both public and private. A contribution to the November issue of this magazine, entitled "Play grounds for Colored America" written by Ernest T, Attwell, Director of Bureau of Colored Work, Community Service, Inc., approaches a new field of welfare for the Colored people. Mr. Attwell's opening statement is significant. "It has long been assumed that so universal a worker as the Colored man has not time for play either in youth or thereafter. For his salvation and for the solving of his problems we have long heard of the value of religion, of education and of work but until lately we have not heard much of his need for recreation. In the field of recreation, the glimpse into national facilities for promotion of wholesome play and promotion of wholesome play and the emphasis of the need of increasing such as exist, will be sure to enlist the interest of social workers. The article is illuminated here and there with splendid illustrations. Our racial group will be proud of the manner in which the subject is treated and it is destined to enlist the co-operation of recreation and park boards in many cities if the information can be desseminated through our various national leaders and organizations. Community Service is doing a great work directly, among our people in developing social centers, playgrounds and recreational programs including drama, music and games for young and old. Introducing a presentation like "Playgrounds for Colored America" in an international publication will add to its service to the Colored man throughout the world.

"Early in the summer of 1920," says Mr. Rambo, "in company with two Chicago and one West Virginia gentleman, I made a trip from New York to Rio De Janeiro, on one of the English ships plying between these cities. We had heard many wonderful stories of the greatness of that country. But nothing we had heard, it developed, were equal to things we saw. "Brazil is a republic, the constitution and law making bodies being very similar to those of the United States. A law abiding foreigner has the same privilege and is given the same protection that are given natives, except the right to vote. Voting can be acquired after a residence of two years in the republic." "Brazilians, without regard to race or color, are as one big family, standing together on grounds of absolute equality or opportunity. There are no distinctions whaler, other than those imposed by wealth culture and position. The outstanding together on grounds of able is the universal love of their country. "We saw foreign people from the Mediterranean countries of Europe, who have been there only a year, joining with the native born in celebration of the numerous holidays. And why shouldn't they? I know of no place in the world where the conditions are more favourable to peace and comfort to the ordinary person than in this country. It is possible to live with very little effort in that land of abundance. But I do not say this as an inducement for the lazy and shillless. In a cold country nature provides grudgingly, in Brazil everything grows in great abundance. The streams are tui of fish; the air is filled with birds; rich fruit, nuts, and herbs are gathered almost everywhere any day of the year. Two and three crops are harvested. Since no coal and few clothes are needed for warmth, it is no wonder that the oppressed and half-starved of other lands find reasons for rejoicing. 'The Brazilian is always kind and courteous, and I was especially pleased to note the beauty of the family life. As a father and husband, the Brazilian man has few equals. Divorces are practically ON OF GREAT ABOLITIONIST DIES IN WASHINGTON (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Dec. 3—Chas. R. Douglas, only surviving son of Frederick Douglas, one of the fore- most Colored abolitionists of the Civil War era, died at his hine, 318 A Street, N. E., following a short illness. Mr. Douglas was 76 years old and had served in the Civil War in the 54th Massachusetts Infantry and 5th Massachusetts Cavalry. He was born in Lynn, Mass., and came to this city in 1867, where he resided continuously since that time. Two weeks ago he was confined to his home with Bright's disease, dying last night in the presence of his wife and two sons, Joseph H. and Haley G. Douglass. Mr. Douglass held a clerkship in the War and Treasury Departments for more than fifty years. He accompanied the Santo Domingo commission in 1871 on the mission to consider the annexation of that island. He was a trustee of the seventh school district in 1872. Mr. Douglass was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the N. A. A. C. P. No topic was ever more interesting to him than reminiscences of his distinguished father. His mind was a store house of incidents occurring in the great Frederick's career, and it afforded Charles exceeding delight to speak of them. HE LOOKED LIKE TAFT— —AND SO HE WAS (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago. Dec. 10—A taxicab drew up in front of the criminal court building and a stout, gray-haired, dignified man rushed into the elevator of Henry Smith. Colored. "I beg pardon, but will you direct me to the courtroom of Judge Pam? the man asked "Yes, I have been told that before," said the stranger. "Well, you certainly do look like his twin." Smith said, as he waited for the other passengers to fill up his car. "Well, to tell you the truth, I am former President Taft," replied the distinguished visitor. "I wish you would take me to Judge Hugo Pam's court immediately as I have to take a train." Smith did not wait for other passengers, but immediately took the former President to Judge Pam's courtroom. Judge Pam is president of the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, and Mr. Taft wanted to obtain certain statistics compiled by the institute. unknown, and the grownup married children generally live with the parents. I have seen families with forty members, parents, children and grandchildren. The Brazilians rule their families with love rather than the rod. "I think the courts are fair, and if anything, incited to leniency. I saw only one man arrested, and that for intoxication—within two hours the same man passed me in the street smiling. "Even slavery was never cruel and harsh in Brazil. The relation of slave to master was much in the nature of a hired servant. They belonged to the same church, observed the same teast days, and often married into the family of the master. Today the same irrational relationship exists. All celebrate emancipation day together. It is a national holiday like our Fourth of July. "The country is fortunate in having no deep national wounds to heal. There is no division of the country caused by difference of opinion on th slave question. Thirty-two years ago the slaves were freed by universal common consent without shedding a drop of blood, Brazil, it will be remembered, secured independence from Portugal without bloodshed. Such a country and such people have a great future. "American Colored people are invited to participate in the upbuilding of a great nation in Brazil. I hope my people in this country will see the wonderful opportunities offered them. Read books and study maps concerning the country. It is not advisable for people to go there for location without becoming land owners, unless equipped for work of a high technical character. "Expert accountants, stenographers, scientists in medicine, demography and engineering are in demand. As all new countries, Brazil is largely an agricultural and mining country. Employment in the cities is not so easily obtained. Brazil wants people to settle in the country districts. There has been organized a syndicate composed of prominent Brazilians and American Colored men to point the way for those who wish to pioneer. The syndicate has a capital of $500,000 with offices in Chicago and Rio Dajaneiro. It is called the Brazilian American Colonization Syndicate Land of excellent quality, well timbered; good water can be bought at about four dollars an acre in 250 acre tracts. Corn, beans, rice and all root crops yield at least two crops a year. "South America, if seems to me, has greater possibilities than Africa."

C., Dec. 11-119 deaths were reported in the District of Columbia during the week ended November 20, of which 82 were white and 37 Colored. The white deaths indicate an annual death rate of 13.0 and the Colored 17.5. The general rate per 1000 population was 14.1. The respective rates for the corresponding week of last year were 11.7, 22.9 and 14.4. THE TULSA STAR Saturday, Dec. 11, 1920 DROP IN RESERVE DEPOSITS PENNSYLVANIA SHOWS THE LARGEST INCREASE Loss Shown Since June 1917 But Increase Made Over September 12, 1919 is Shown. Washington.—Resources of all national banks amounted to $21,885,480,000 on September 8, a reduction of $311,257,000 compared with June 30, but an increase of $270,064,000 over September 12, 1919, according to reports of the last bank call summarized by Comptroller Williams. Deposits totalled $16,751,956,000, the comptroller said, a reduction of $403,465,000 compared with the June call and an increase of $70,349,000 over September of last year. Loans and discounts increased by $18,662,000 as compared with June.

CASUALTIES BY GAS HEAVY Chemical Warfare Division Issues Late Figures. Washington.—More than 31 per cent of all American soldiers admitted to hospitals overseas during the world war were gassed according to a statement made public by the chemical warfare service. Excluding marines and sailors the total of American soldiers gassed was 70,552 of whom 1,221 died and 2,853 or 4.04 per cent, were discharged as having suffered some disability from gassing. Every effort to prepare this country with an efficient gas defense in the event of another war is being made by chemical experts, according to officials of the service. Fifteen thousand chemists have been enrolled ready to enter service at a moment's notice and are constantly engaged in research in order to perfect all kinds of gases for use in the event of hostilities. At the same time, officials added, chemists are working out defensive measures by which America could meet an enemy's gas attack. ROBBERY LOSS 4 MILLION Council Buffs Paper Revises Original Estimate. Omaha, Neb.—An estimate in the Council Bluffs Nonpareil that the amount of property stolen from a mail car in that city will total $3,500,000, is fairly accurate, in the opinion of L. J. Patterson, superintendent of mails at Council Bluffs. Mr. Patterson said the figures reported in the newspapers would "come pretty close" to the amount stolen. Postmaster George Hughes, questioned regarding the amount of the loss, said he thought the Nonpareil's information was correct but was not in a position to go into details. Assistant Postmaster Fred Johnson at Council Buffs said he "could not see where the newspapers got its figures," but he was not in a position to contradict the Nonpareil's account. TEXAS CO.

MOSES SHALL LEAD THEM (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Dec. 10—Practically every northern state has one or more United States Senators, and one or more members of Congress who are determined to bring the issue reduction of southern representation before the law making body for summary action. The spirit of determination was never more strongly emphasized than in an extended editorial expression from the Leominster Mass. Enterprise and this editorial is quoted in full for the purpose of getting exact facts before the people of our group, and with the hope that all who read it will pass it on to others Under the caption, "Senator Moses' Proposal." The Enterprise says: Senator Moses of New Hampshire proposed to place before the judiciary committee of the next congress a resolution that shall be to know why there is not enforcement of the constitutional provision relative to representation in the South. It has been known that for over forty years the scandal of illegality and injustice has been endured by W. C. REID TOWNSITE COMPANY Reid Building MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA the country. The fourteenth amendment which was intended to give the Negro the right to vote has been utterly disregarded in most of those states which have a very large Colored population. And it is known in every national election before the ballots have been cast, that at least 127 electoral votes are checked up against the Republican Party because thousands of citizens are not given the right to vote. That is what is meant by the "Solid South" It has been solid, and will remain solid until it is justly broken into and those citizens which have the right to vote shall not be denied that privilege. Those citizens are Colored. That is their only fault. The "grandfather clause" and other shameful legislation has been passed which bars the Colored man from voting. It is unconstitutional, undemocratic and unjust. Granting that the Colored man should not be given the right to vote, and that the South is to be exonerated for not permitting it. Why should the South object to a limitation of congressional representation to correspond with the number of voting citizens?

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.

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.
