race are engaged in some line Of profit
able business. This is one of the sub
stantial evidences Of the encouraging
progress of the race which is receiving
much attention from the public press.
Whenever a woman goes into business
she is almost sure to open the way for
one Of her sex to get employment in
the same line Of business, of whatever
kind it may be. They are contributing
in no small way to the home and COM

United States. Their influence in all

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.

Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part of
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses Is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about a reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children In
those virtues. that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral He Is both: but he
is not enough of either when It comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really Is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman In the
church Is so far from a model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is combination of ali. She allows
beer drinking. card playing. and rag
time music In her home. She Is loose
in her conversation. Her language Is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes woman of the street Her
home Is hanpout for Sliding elders"
and ioafine, hungry preachers. Her
house Is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old TO he children. They
are therepore tte freshest things In
the neiphhorhood. They run the
church. Thew sit IN the front heat.
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
pippling. To speak to them Is to
throw a match into a magazine Of
powder.
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters. get into the
choir and start trouble for tn. Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren Of too many Of those who aspire
TO leadership In our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence Of their mothers and
give our churches aft kinds of trouble.
What we need Is a new type Of
women In our homes as mothers,
and new type Of women In our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type Of women are out of style.

Bishop B. T. Tanner, recognizing in
the young minister rare ability, sent
him to Jefferson City, Mo. 1t was his
first real charge, but he took hold OF
1t like one who had been in the minis
try for quarter Of a century. He made
many friends in his new field, serving
two years, and was afterward sent to

Promoters Of Proposed Summer Resort
In Michigan Should Be Broadmindsd.
The movement recently started by
group Of prominent colored men to
clear up the ground and erect suitable
buildings for summer resort on the
shores Of Crooked lake. near White
Cloud, Mich. to be ready for the sea-
son Of 1915, has many good features.
But II the promoters should decide
finally to confine the benefits to be de-
rived from the resort to our race only.
without regard to the business enter
prises usually carried on at such ~
sorts, 1t may hinder rather than help
the project.
The sentiment of the race generally,
says N. B. Dodson, is against drawing
the color line. The race is fully capa-
BILE Of maintaining ownership Of ii
business enterprises. educational and
religious institutions without drawing
the line. If white people desire to pa
tronize our institutions of whatever
kind under our management they
should be permitted to do so. Coop
Grafton is the watchword of the times.
The proposed summer resort should DO
a purely business movement.

INDICTED.

It kind o. wounded our pride when
Jim Cottingham, the big Santa Fe law
yer of Oklahoma City, said of Ard
more people that they fished, and If
they had any time left, they attend
ed to business. But after all, there
might be some truth in what that
lawyer said. But who could blame
Ardmore people from fishing? There
are some very large lakes that sur
round this city. One of these lakes
covers $50 acres OF land Think of
vast body Of water covering that
area, think OF the motor boats bliding
smoothly over the surface, think Of
the cool breezes blowing, think of the
tons and tons of fish that lie under
the surface OF those waters A Santa
Fe freight train could hardly haul at
one load all the fish that is under a
sea like that.
The boys who have fshed in Mich.
igan and in Minnesonta, and in Can
ada and in Colorado this summer,
were anxious to get home to go and
really enjoy one good fishing trip
where the bass are so game they
jump at red ribbons the women wear
for Windsor ties When FISH get that
game they offer an irresistible sport.
There is just one time Of the year
when the fish are neglected, and that
time is during quail season. Reports
carefully made from every section of
the country state that quail are plen-
tful this year. The summer was rath-
er long and hot and dry but there
was never time when the creeks
did not have water There was never
time when food was not plentiful
and ranchmen and farmers say that
the quail crop this year is an ideal
one There will be hunting parties
organized to go in every direction.
Southern Oklahoma has the finest
sports OF any portion of the state.

AN IMPORTANT WELL.

most quarter of a mile west and 300
feet north of the center of section
15-43. 1t was originally a gas well
and in its palmy days supplied Ring
ling with gas. 1t is being deepened
and at 1910 the top of the Simpson
sand was reached. As soon as the
sand was touched oil shot IS feet into
the air.
Mr.. Hamon said no one could tell
what the well would make, but it has
the appearance of being as good a
producer as has ever been brought
in in the field AS soon as the work
can be done it will be drilled in. This
is the farthest west of any well to
