Whlto House. After a happy Installation Into tho social duties of tlio White
IIoiibo and tho marriage of two daughters from tho parlors of tho Presiden-
tial home tho mother and tho wlfo was so Buddenly called awny. In giving
expression for our peoples tho American Negro we tho humblest of tho
American people feel tho deepest sorrow that "our" president In the midst
of a trying ordeal In tho time of great effort for tho good of our country
should have tnken from him tho companion of hlg life the mother of his
household. Tho wholo nation mourns with hlin.
Tho meeting of the Nntloual Negro Business Men's I.eaguo at Muskogee

now Is nn opportunity which may not com0 ngaln soon.
Wo must Impress our visitors with the grent opportunity wo havo In
tho growing now state to mako homes whero and while land Is cheap and
within their reach. Wo must meet theso visitors nnd make their stay
pleasant nnd have them go back to tholr homos with good Impressions nnd
reports of tho good pcoplo they mot in Oklahoma. Wo must mnko an effort
to havo them seo nB much of Oklahoma as possible during their short
stay. Wo must mako tho Muskogco meeting a success -a grand success a
howl ng success. It will renulro so llttlo upon the part of each of us to do
