Kansas Day tomorrow (Saturday) at the state capital, will bring out "on parade" every Republican candidate from governor down to congressman and many smaller orbits. Each will display his political wares before as many of his brothers as possible, that they might become interested in their success. There is a young "Belgian army" of men and women who have either announced their candidacy officially or intimated their intention of throwing their hat or bonnet in the ring.

ARTHUR CAPPER A man who has made a remarkable record as the State's Chief Executive. made up by the choice of the Republican electors of the state next August it will not indicate those who fell in the small digit column were any less efficient than those who carried the larger addition table. Wyandotte Republicans will be well represented on Kansas Day which will give the local leaders a splendid opportunity to look over the field of candidates and size them up. On Saturday morning the State Republican committee will meet and fix the date and place for holding the state convention to select four delegates at large and four alternates at large to the Chicago National convention. We have under our notice a number of aspirants as candidates seeking the honor as delegates but we fail to see a single loyal colored man's name on the list of those spoken of. It would look wise in the judgment of The Advocate that some good colored man be on this delegation. Think it over Republicans. The Kansas Day Women's club will meet also on Saturday morning at which time a thousand or more will be present. A great love feast will be had among the leaders of the G. O. P., ex-Senator Theodore Burton, of Ohio, and considered by many as good presidential timber will be the principal speaker. DON'T forget that money must accompany all matter to be published such as wedding announcements, resolutions of any kind, cards of thanks, memoriums, obituaries and lengthy club reports.

The recent change of ownership of one of our city papers leaves this paper the only Republican paper in Kansas City, Kansas. The Advocate has long been the only paper in the state, we believe, conducted by Colored Republicans. We now have the double honor of being not only the only paper conducted by Colored Republicans, but VOL. 2. the only Republican newspaper in the city. We will try to do our whole duty to the great party which stands for the best interests of all the people, black or white, and to uphold the standard of Republicanism in the metropolis of the state. THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The Brotherhood met Sunday, Jan. 23rd, at 5 p. m., and opened in usual form. Topic, "Jesus Cleanseth the Temple." John, 2nd Chapter 13-17. Bro. J. H. Walker led in the discussion and brought out some very interesting points regarding the misunderstanding of that passage of the Scripture at this day and time. He was followed by Deacon-Austin who wanted more light on that particular passage of Scripture. The president called on the pastor, Rev. Bowren, who explained it satisfactorily to all. All the brethren present had something to say about the subject before them and was very eager that it be properly explained. We also had with us Rev. J Davis and Rev. Frank Benton who showed great skill in handling the subject. We hope to have them with us again. The president appointed the following named brothers on a committee of invitation. Deacon Austin is to appeal to all male members of the church to attend the Brotherhood. Everyone should be out and hear this enthusiastic brother. Brother James Downs Dixon is to arouse the choir and B. Y. P. U. members in regard to the work. Deacons Walker and Wesley are looking after the city at large and inviting all to come and join_us in our work for the Master and fallen humanity. We want the First Baptist-church to have the honor of having more men engaged in the welfare work than any other church. We have the material, why not make use of it. Biblical tople, Jan. 30th, "Jealousy and Its Attendant Evils." First Samuel, 20-30-42. H. A. GEREN, Pres., H. MESLY, Sec. COLONEL LITTLE FOR CONGRESS. An interesting feature of the inspection of the Cadet Company at Western University by Adjutant General Martin last week in the presence of Col. Edward C. Little and his admirable and valuable address to the students in the Chapel. Adjutant General Martin was a major in the famous Fighting Twentieth Kansas in the Philippines, where he served with Colonel Little when they fought in a dozen pitched battles side by side under the Stars and Stripes. This reminds old timers that when the 23rd Kansas went to war Colonel Little was largely instrumental for the fact that it was the first black regiment ever sent out by a white government officered by men of its own color, the highest recognition the race has received in the last fifty years giving it equal rights under the flag. This accounts for much of the friendship our colored race has for the Colonel and for the interest they take in his candidacy for Congress. It is a pleasure to The Advocate to be able to chronicle the fact that an overwhelming majority of the Republicans of Wyandotte county favor Colonel Little's candidacy for Congress. The last real victory achieved by the Republican party in this county was in 1910, when Colonel Little represented the party in the joint debate with Mr. Caldwell the Democratic nominee for Congress, when Alexander Mitchell was delayed, and when Colonel Little presided at the Grand Rally and struck the keynote of modern Republicanism. He has been a candidate for office but once since the war with Spain and the tremendous vote he received in Wyandotte county at that time when he was a candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court, demonstrated the high regard in which he is held in Wyandotte county. With him as a candidate, this county which has been lost to the Democratic Congressional candidate three times in succession under other leadership, can be anchored securely in the Republican column. BISHOP PARKS'. DAUGHTER DIES. Rev. J. R. Ransom was called by telegram to Chicago on Tuesday on account of the death of Bishop Parks' daughter. Dr. Ransom accompanied the bereaved family with the remains to Atlanta, Ga., where they were intered. The bishop and his family have the sincere sympathy of this community in their sad bereavement. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JAN. 28, 1916 He Puts Sin to Flight--Hear Him J. B. REV. S. L. HOWARD. D. D. Secretary Evangelical bureau of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, now holding successful revival meetings at First A. M. E. church at the corner of Nebraska and Elthigh St. A Spiritual Campaign with Telling Results AN EVANGELIST OF GREAT POWER AND PERSONALTY AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH— REV. S. L. HOWARD, D.D. The revival meetings which have been going on for the past week at the First A. M. E. church conducted by Evangelist Howard of Nashville, Tenn., have stirred up both saint and sinner. Dr. Howard's logical sermons have aroused his large audiences to the degree of examination and asking themselves as to what kind of ground they are standing on. At the evening service Monday night the evangelist exhibited the outfits of some of the country's most notable gamblers and burglars who had been converted in some of his meetings and afterwards turned their paraphernalja over to him that he might exhibit to the world the kind of ground they had once stood on. The evangelist will exhibit on Sunday evening and Tuesday evening again these converted outlaws' tools. Dr. Howard is secretary of the Evangelical Bureau of the A. M. E. church and has been traveling for nearly four years in this work without salary. His work has been wonderfully blessed as some 4500 conversions have been the fruits of his labor. Mrs. Howard, his faithful wife, travels and assists him in the work and has had much to do with his success. A three week's campaign just closed last week at Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo., in which many were received and saved. The meetings will close here next Tuesday night. There has been quite a number yielded to the simple reasoning powers of this great messenger of God, and it is expected and hoped that many more may face about and start in the opposite direction. The Evangelist has engagements at Detroit, Mich., Des Moines, Ia., and Omaha, Nebr., and after the close here will go to one of these points. KANSAS PRIMA DONNA MAKING GOOD. Mrs. Mae Caesar Porter is meeting with splendid success in her tour of the South. She is now in Arkansas and before returning will visit Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Oklahoma. The towns she has visited declare her the most versatile singer they have heard and that she is second to none in any respect. Mrs. Porter's home is in this city and her endless friends and admirers will be much elated to read of the success of this talented singer. A PATIENT WOMAN LAID TO REST The funeral services of the late Mrs. Sophie Stuart were held at the A. M. E. church Thursday at 1 p. m. Rev. Dr. Horsey officiating. Electa Chapter No. 2, O. E. S., had charge of the remains and turned out in a body. As the cortege entered the church, Mrs. L. Somers played a beautiful funeral march. The obituary portrayed her beautiful life and her Christian patience while paralyzed 14 years. Resolutions were read from the Neighbors by Mrs. Cornell and from the Chapter by the secretary. A broken column of white lilies, a floral star and many other beautiful flowers were received. Deceased was a consistent member of the A. M. E. church and leaves a husband, two daughters, two sons and many other relatives and friends who regret her transition.

Cards are out announcing a formal dance to be given by the "Kewpie Klub" at Music Hall on the evening of F bruary 11. It promises to be an up-to-date affair. Mrs. Dr. Dean, the very efficient and popular druggist, is confined to her bed, due to an attack of la grippe. Mrs. Minnie Page Tillery of Chicago, having been called here on account of the death of her mother a few weeks ago, left for home on Monday of this week. The Kansas Day club will hold its annual meeting on Saturday this week. Owing to the political situation, this being the year for the nomination and election of state officers and delegates to the national Republican convention, there will be a mighty gathering of the hosts, and "slates," in some particulars are expected to be made. Much is being said both at home and at the national capital about in- ADVOCATE TOPEKA, KANSAS. tervention in Mexico, due to certain depredations recently committed on Americans there. Admitting that the question is a serious one, and demands the exercise of the best judgment the administration affords, yet it might be well for this government to remember that similar outrages are taking place almost daily at our door, so to speak. May it not be well said that the United States needs some foreign intervention since she seems unable to stop the lynching of colored men in the southern states. No matter what the Kansas Day club may decide as to an instructed or an uninstructed delegation to the national convention, it is our opinion that the only delegations that can afford to go instructed are those having a candidate of their own state, or who are very strong numerically and possessing a big lot of political sagacity. Kansas, up to date, so far as we have heard, has no candidate, and unless her delegation should be large enough numerically to be a potent factor in the convention, one to reckon with, it is our opinion that the delegation would be in a much better shape for the trax to go uninstructed The executive of the Lincoln Day club has arranged to hold the exercises on Saturday night, February 12, at the Second Baptist church. The following is the program: Speaking: President's address, Hon T. W. Bell, Leavenworth; Lincoln, Dr. J. A. R. Crossland, St. Joseph, Mo; "Preparedness," Miss Gladys Anderson, Lawrence, Kas.; Prof. J. P. King, Kansas City, Kas. Our Leaders, Dr. G. B. Brown, Wichita, Kas.; The Republican Party, Judge I. F. Bradley, Kansas City, Kas.; "Is the Colored Man Keeping Pace With the Times?" S. E. Carey, Esq., Russell Springs, Kas.; U. S. supreme court on the "Grandfather Clause," Judge J. W. Clark, Lawrence, Kas. The occasion will be enlivened with the most inspiring music. No one should fail to attend this meeting. Doors open at 7:30. The article by Judge Bradley appearing in the last issue of the Advocate is worthy of much consideration. The judge is among our most advanced thinkers and writers. "The Birth of a Nation" was shown here on last Sunday afternoon before the state board of censors. The exhibition was private, but an opportunity was given us to see it. It is in no sense true to life. Every scene, with few exceptions, is an exaggeration, and many of them absolutely false. The picture can have but one purpose. That, to widen the chasm between the whites and blacks—north, and to unite the north and south, by showing falsely, that the colored people dominate the whites both socially and politically in the southern states. If the censor board passes this picture upon the ground that it is fitted for exhibition, then we can see no further need of a censor board—throw down the bars and let on any and every old thing. It will not pass is our prediction. ST. CLOUD. CITIZENS FORUM. The citizens Forum convened at the Metropolitan Church precisely on time again. After quotations and current events were given the President called for the song recital of the "Eternal Light," which was directed by Mr. Countee of K. C. Mo., with Mrs. J. Woods at the piano. Mr. Countee of K. C. Mo., is a good tenor and the trio in which he and another gentleman and lady sang was pretty. Mrs. Holmes sang a difficult solo and Rev. D. A. Holmes sang a pretty bass solo with fine enunciations. Mr. C. A. Franklin of Denver Colo., made a fine address on "The Value of a Dollar." It was discussed pro and con by Judge J. F. Bradley, Prof. Porter and Dwiggins, Miss J. Godfrey Messrs. D. W. White and A. Saunders. President Marquess appointed a current events com. of Mrs. E. Buckner, Mrs. Jasper Thompson and Mr. S. H. Randolph. The crowd was so large many had to stand. Next Sunday Mr. W. W. Rose, Exmayor, will make the principal address to the Forum. Good music. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Roberts attended and discussed topics at the Forum. We are pleased to note that the Rev. James E. Alexander, who has been confined to his bed since the date of the marriage ceremony, December 22, is now convalescent. We are glad to have Miss Oneita, the daughter of Mrs. Cora Dameron, out after such a hard spell of sickness. NO.23 Celebrates 36th Anniversary A STAR RECEPTION AT THE STARR HOME. On Tuesday evening was seen at the beautiful and palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Starr, at 1126 Washington boulevard one of the nicest receptions that has been given in the new year. The occasion being Mr. Starr's thirty-sixth anniversary. The guests were of his brother postal clerks with the exception of a few intimate friends from the two Kansas Citys. Mr. Starr has a model home in every point of modern architecture and what adds more to its beauty and happiness is his lovable wife and two little sweet girls. It is not out of place also to say that Mr. Starr is the architect and builder of this fine residence, being at one time a teacher in the manual training department of Sumner high school of this city. The interior of this home is finished elab- MR. JOHN BUTLER. Who has taken a position on The Advocate staff.

Beautiful electric domes and hammered brass chandeliers swing from the ceiling throwing their rays of brilliancy on the delicate hues of the decorator's art. The evening was enjoyably spent in discussing topics of the most vital importance to the race and country, also many spicy talks of interest and humor were heard from a number of the guests. Music of instrumental and vocal nature came in for its part of the evening's entertainment. The last discussion was "Preparedness" and when the man with 36 links in his chain announced that Mrs. Starr wished to hear this discussion and without a dissenting voice it was heard in unison, common consent. The guests were invited to the large and spacious room adjoining the parlor. All arose as one man and were soon around a long well built quartered sawed table. Everyone present was ready for the discussion, and when the hands and grinders got through dissecting "Preparedness" Mrs. Starr, the honored hostess, declared, if that was what "Preparedness" was it didn't stand for much, as it had taken her two days to prepare what could become unprepared again in such a very short time, but Mrs. Starr's preparedness was simply great and was palitably enjoyed by all. As one guest expressed in his toast that he wished for the host his present age might be multiplied by two with a provision that he give an anniversary reception each year and he be one of the guests. Common consent. The two little sweet daughters of the host and hostess received, one at the door and the other in the cloak room, where she pinned on the lapel of each guest's coat a dainty white card with ribbon bow with the date, January 25th, 1880. January 25th, 1916. The guests departed at the noon-hour of sleepeth wishing Mr. Starr many more years of usefulness and happiness and declaring the host and hostess ideal entertainers and wishing for them and theirs, peace, happiness and prosperity.

Everything in the Store Guaranteed Time for Wearing Garments That Denote Sadness Is Largely Left to the Individual. In Europe purple and all shades of violet are still mourning colors and are used by all chic women as a third mourning. Touches of purple with black or white are sometimes used, or all purple, or violet. The most elegant third mourning, however, is all purple or all violet, just as it is all black or white for the first, then black and white for the second. Even in third mourning, velvet, no matter of what color, is quite out of the fold for gowns or even for hats. And to the very last day of mourning feathers are tabooed. As to the periods of mourning, the length of time varies in different countries from one to three years. The time of mourning, if it is sincere mourning, should be left entirely to the person bereaved. It is, however, safe to say one year of deep mourning for a husband or parent, a year of second mourning and a year of violet would fulfill the proprieties. Each period can be cut down to six months if a person is depressed or feels that a year and a half is sufficient. In Europe, now that there is so much sadness and almost no society, those who are in mourning go about quite as much as the few who are not sorrowing. Otherwise there would be no one to fill the few theaters open, or to keep the life of the cities in motion. GOLD FOR INFECTED WOUNDS Experiments by French Surgeons Have Demonstrated Its Value During the Recent War. Injections of colloidal gold are being used in France with great success in the treatment of the infected wounds which have been so plentiful in the present war. According to a recent number of the Revue Scientifique MM. Cuneo and Rolland have thus treated a series of wounds in which the phenomena of infection persisted after surgical treatment. The gold was administered by the intravenous method (2 or 3 cubic centimeters) by intramuscular puncture (up to 50 cubic centimeters), or even by injections in the peripheral zone of the infected region. The gold is said to give the best results in large traumatisms of the limbs, with infection by anaerobic species (septic vibrions and especially perfringens). The effects of the treatment are less satisfactory in cases of pyogenic infection. In cases of wounds penetrating the abdomen, the authors have successfully employed colloidal gold as a preventive of the infection. Intravenous injection is formally indicated when it is desirable to obtain quick action and when the subject is in a state of hypertension. On the contrary, when the subject is depressed and in a state of hypotension, the intramuscular method is preferable. Human Bomb Boards Car. Passengers on a McLean avenue trolley car fied panic-stricken when Nicholas Pierrara got aboard with a stick of dynamite in one hand and a lighted cigar in the other. Other sticks of dynamite were bulging from his coat pocket. Pierrara is a contractor foreman. He was arrested and taken to police headquarters, where it was found he had three pounds of dynamite in all on his person. In one pocket were four or five detonating caps. Inspector Michael Landy said a spark from the cigar or a sudden jar would have sent the car skyward in a puff of dust. —Yonkers (N. Y.) Dispatch, New FINALLY REACHED HAT STORE Newspaper Correspondent's Experience With Japanese Chauffeur When He Sought Headgear. In his eagerness to see a whale during the voyage between Honolulu and the island of Hawaii, Mr. Homer Croy, who tells about his adventure in Travel, leaned too far over the rail, and lost his hat. After arriving at the island he climbed into a taxicab and told the driver to take him to a hat store. "Do you understand?" he asked. "A hat store." "Yes, for sure, all right," the Japanese chauffeur answered. They went bumping up the street, swung wildly round a corner, and finally at the far side of the town drew up to the curbing. In the window of the store was a bedstead on which hung the sign, "This week cheap." "What do you mean by taking me to a furniture store?" Mr. Croy demanded. "Dis Hata store," replied the Japanese driver, and he pointed to the name of the proprietor, "K. Hata." "I want a hat, not a bed," Mr. Croy said with feeling. "I want it for this," pointing to his bare head. "Yes, for sure, all right." With that the cab whirled down the street and away to the other side of the town, while the taxi bill was merrily running up. This time it stopped before a barber shop. "No, I don't want anything taken off my head. I want something put on it," declared Mr. Croy, who was now quite irritated. "Yes, for sure; I understand all right," replied the chauffeur, with a grin. They went clattering just as far to the other side of the town as they could, and drew up before a store that as an afterthought apparently carried a line of hats. Mr. Croy had to pay twice the price of a hat on the way to buy it, but this did not seem to worry the driver, who, after the manner of automobile drivers, stood up under it bravely. WOMAN LOOSE IN ARGUMENT It Is Difficult for Her to Concentrate on Central Idea, According to Writer. The woman, as a rule, finds it difficult to retain a grasp upon a central idea, to clear away the side issues which obscure it. She can seldom carry an idea to its logical conclusion, passing from term to term; somewhere there is a solution of continuity, W. L. George writes in the Atlantic, For this reason arguments with women, which have begun with the latest musical play, easily pass on from its alleged artistic merit to its costumes, their scantiness, their undesirable scantiness, the need for inspection, inspectors of theaters, and, little by little, other inspectors until one gets to mining inspectors and possibly to mining in general. The reader will observe that these ideas are fairly well linked. All that happens is that the woman, tiring of the central argument, has pursued each side issue as it offered itself. This comes from a lack of concentration which indisposes a woman to penetrate deeply into a subject; she is not used to concentration, she does not like it. It might lead her to disagreeable discoveries. "Irish Make Turkish Rugs" "Turkish" rugs are now being made in Donegal.

A world's record for butter production has just been completed at Pine Groves farm, owned by Oliver Cabana, Jr., of Buffalo, by Lady Pontiac Johana, a three-and-a-half-year-old cow valued at $20,000. In seven days Lady Pontiac Johana produced 4181-100 pounds of butter and 658 pounds of milk. This performance makes her the third highest classed cow in the world, the two higher ones being full-grown animals. She beat the former world's butter record by 5 pounds. The Trench Cow. Rev. G. H.

"The Truth About the Bible," about five hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman," that hundred pages, $2.00. "Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy-five pages, $2.00. All cloth-bound. These books treat of the sex of the Bible, and show that the Bible is a book of sex and a book of spirit, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the sex and that sex-lust was the origin and cause of death. They are arresting the attention of t. medical, scientific, philosophical, theological worlds and people of all classes in other books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written in the history of the world. They are daily going to the great thinkers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible, by Sidney C. Tapp, than to be the President of the United States. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable that the human intellect staggers under the ideas presented. For ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will live until time shall be no more. Republics may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die."—Prof. J. Silas Harris, A. M. "Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our jails, insane institutions and hospitals than any other idea that has ever been given to the world, in our opinion, to say nothing of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race. He has indeed produced a world idea that should be in every home and library in the civilized world. W. A. Thompson, M.D. W. A. Swan, M.D. S. M. McCubbins, M.D. H. D. McCubbins, M.D. Theodore D.

Massenet dreaded the first performance of his operas so much that he usually left the city and hid until they were over. In a recently published book, "Souvenirs de la Vie de Theatra," Pierre Berton tells of meeting him' the night before the production of his "Roi de Lahore," and congratulating him on the success that was sure. He was astonished at the weary, melancholy attitude of the composer. "Massenet silently took off his hat, and pointed with his finger at his hair. It was freshly silvered, to my surprise, for we were then both young men. And he said to me, 'See what it costs to bring out an operal'."

The homing capacity in terms has been the subject of interesting experiments by Prof. J. B. Watson and Dr. K. S. Lashley at Bird Key, Dry Tortugas, under the auspices of the Carnegie institution. Birds were caught in their nesting places, tagged, marked with paint on head and neck, and carried in large cages to a distance, whereupon they were liberated and watch was kept for their return. It was found that "the noddy and sooty tern can return from distances up to 1,000 miles in the absence of all landmarks, at least so far as the term 'landmark' is understood at present." A return from the open sea was found to be effected as readily as from a place on the coast. Birds returned from Galveston, from Cape Hatteras, from Havana, etc. In these cases, however, a certain percentage did not return. The report on these experiments discussed various proposed explanations of the homing capacity in birds, without reaching any conclusion—Scientific American.
