From the Wichita Falls, Texas, Daily
Times: More than week has elapsed
since Oklahoma oil prices advanced to
rs cents and while the northwest
Texas quotation is also up TO rs cents,
the five cent margin which this field
is supposed to have over Oklahoma
has not been re-established Oil from
Northwest Texas is worth more than
that from the MidContinent field be-
cause of its better grade, and the
failure to maintain the margin makes
it appear that some Northwest Texas
producers got somewhat worked last
January at Austin.

WHERE Wilson FAILS

More comment has been occasioned
by the failure of President Wilson tC
take notice of the death of Booker T
Washington, among those vitality in.
terested in the work of the dead
Negro, than in the matter of secur.
ing a successor at Tuskegee. impor.
tant as securing a successor is recog.
nized to be.
Although the president, as a college
man himself, has known more of the
great work at Tuskegee than anyone
in public life, and as a college man
must be presumed to have felt keen
er interest in that work, he has made
not the slightest comment either on
Washington, on his work, or on the
future of the school.
And this neglect on his part seems
to have been the neglect also of of
fetal Washington for with the single
exception of Secretary Lane nobody
connected with the administration
has sent a letter, or given public ex-
preston of appreciation.
Just why the president should have
lCll NOholl llOu " lllS SllOllCC llO-
body is able to explain, for the news
papers of the South and the public
men of the South have not held them
selves in any such restraint. Neither
the prejudices of a southerner, nor
political ~expediency would seem to be
enough to explain or excuse this sin
gular neglect.
OF course, everybody will form a
speedy judgment in his own mind.
The president as an educator cannot
have been Indifferent to the great
work Booker T. Washington did, nor
as a lover of his country can he be
Indifferent to the advancement of the
Negro people. But the president has
shown a singular inability to meas
ure up to certain occasions since he
has been president, and this would
seem to be one of them. The presi.
dent has some very marked human
limitations-Des Moines Register and
Leader.

coLoRED ST. LOUIS FOOLED.
Light-Hued Pastor Of Oldest coiored
Baptist Church, Rev. r. F. Martyr,
Elopes With colored Girl
Then coIored People Find
He Is a White Man.

Colored st. Louis has been thor
oughly fooled Rev. Farrar f. Mar
tyn, for the last year pastor of the
First Colored Baptist church of st.
Louis and accepted by the worship
pers as a member of the race. is
proven to be a white man. The reve-
lation came at the same time that
news was received that Martyr had
been arrested in Yonkers, N. Y, in
company with a young colored woman
with whom he ran away from st.
Louis.
Judge Daniel o. Fisher, of the st.
Louis Circuit Court, is authority for
minister was white, and that his
father, the Rev. w. Carlos Martyr,
was once pastor of the Pilgrim Con
gregational church, when it was the
most fashionable and wealthy white
church in the city. Judge Fisher
knew DR.. Martyr and his sons, Far
rar and Paul.
There can be no mistake in the
identity of the Rev. f. Martyr. At
the time the supposed Negro preach
err left the city, Mrs. Sequeia Davis,
of 1004A Leffingwell avenue, Indian
apolis, reported the disappearance of
her 19-yer-old daughter, Vera Davis,
a summer high school girl who sang
in the First Baptist choir. Prof.
Richard H. Cole, principal of the
summer high school, told of seeing
the two parties together the day of
their departure.
Brother Visits Deacons.
A day or so after Martyrs disap.
pearance his brother, Paul, visited
several of his deacons. He assured
them that his brother would return
to st. Louis to disprove the rumor
that he had gone away with the little
Davis girl. Several of the deacons
cashed checks for Paul. They have
been unable to negotiate these checks
and have reported the fact to the
police, who have been looking for
Paul.
Martyr had prepared a circular ad-
vertising his proposed lecture tour,
In it he nowhere himself describes
himself as a colored, but says he is
the most eloquent member of his
Able, WeIl-ducated, Manly on the Race
Question.
The people regarded him as an eX-
cellent preacher and pastor. He had
the pulpit of the notorious Rev. H. H.
Harris, and had built up the church.
Rev. Martyr was a strong champion
of the race, militant against in
justice and segregation. He was the
editorial writer of the Argus, the To-
cal colored paper and wrote a SPLEEN
did editorial at the time of the vii.
son-Trotter episode. While the col
pred people believed he was a colored
man, they felt a mystery as to his
a~ntecedents. No one knew anything
of him before he came to st. Louis,
A few wondered if he really was col
ored or white. This was due to his
thorough education and his literary
ability. He was also a musical COM
poser and musician. st. Louis was
emphatically fooled. Martyr looked
to be white.
