Local League

The local busiress mems league
held another en- enihusiastic meeting
Monday night at the First Baptist

tions aside from the regular routine
of business Among them being
the endorsement of the Penny Saw
iug and Investment Co., lately
charteo institution u hicl. was orga-
nized last week. Capt Jackson
raised an important question bas
ed on the report that this institu
ton would be bank for the col.
ored people, but was informed bv
president Hughes that this repor'
was untrue, which stopped futhers
discussion on this subject
Fl 5 SIN tn, representive of the
lnterustioT al Investment company
of Dallas, Texas was there and in
tioduced, explained the object of
his company at length An effort
was made to gel the league, which
had previously United Mr.. Smith
to this city, to endorse his propo-
sition. The matter was referred To
committee. The meeting Mon
day night as a successful one from
Poieat OF attendance n d bids
fair to be more so next Monday
night. Prof. Hughes is sparing no
effort to make a pronounced success
of the organizat on and assisted by
the other officers, his desires along
this line will doubtless lie realized.

White Mans Greed
For Money No Bar
to His Predjudice

Out at Taft, oklahoma, 10 miles
west of Muskogee, there lives a col.
ored girl IA or 10 years old whose
income from her oil wells is Some
thing like sl5,00000 a month Her
name is sarah Rector She, of oi,
fame. is among the wealthlest In tho
state. Her wealth, however, Is not
much out of the ordinary for the
dark skinned lads and lassos over in
that part Of the state, but if reports
are true. Miss Rector has something
more than her income to occupy her
mind. According to pretty good au-
hority. she has host OF suitors
eokng her hand in marriage, and
hey are not all negro suitors either.
Some of them are white men, some
If whom voted for the Grandfather
'lause and the Jim Grow law OF this
state, but who are perfectly for this
little negro girls money, to marry
| her. and II they could, would do so
There are scores of negro children
in Oklahoma getting large sums of
money monthly from oil wells, but
| this money, in almost every case
goes into the hands of white mon
who care little or nothing for theii
wards except for what money they
get by reason of their guardianship
over them.
In n country like this where the
negro is Grand claused," Jim crow
ed and otherwise unjustly dscrimi
mated against, it is hardly to be cx
pected that a white man would be
just and fair with negro minors, ant
for that reason, If for no other, the
courts of this state should take the
color line n little further and appoint
only colored men guardians Of colorcC
children. Under the conditions cX
isting in Oklahoma it is nothing less
than criminal to do otherwise.
What Judge would appoint a negro
guardian Of a white child?
