Hundreds of people who are living right here in Kansas City were greatly surprised to see what had been going on and being accomplished, and as one was heard to say "and just across the street and we knew nothing of it." Only a five cent ride but have never been to Western University." President Kealing has been aware of this a long time, that more of his neighbors ought to see and know more about this splendid school, and to quote the president, he said, "If the people can't come to the school and see what our boys and H. T. Kealing. President [Portrait of a man in formal attire, facing left, with a bald head and a mustache.] girls are doing we intend to bring the school to them. "There are eleven departments of industry represented, each department being housed in a well arranged and tastefully decorated booth, with students occupying each booth who in a most pleasing and interesting manner explains everything exhibited in the booth. The first booth entering on the right is the exhibit of the carpenter department with many fine pieces of workmanship. Mr. W. A. Jackson is the instructor of this department.

The laundry department comes next with its beautiful snowy white display of various garments. Mr. G. T. Allen is the instructor of this industry. In connection with the carpenter t of Western University exhibit we should have spoken of a modern 5-room bungalo of which a picture is shown. The plans were drawn and the house built entirely by young Lamott Jenkins. This boy did everything in erecting this house outside of the chimneys and he tended the mason that built them. He built it for his mother at Quindaro. This worthy and commendable exhibit will close this Saturday evening at 9 p.m. and the weeks display in the city ought to be a great inspiration to the students and also to the outside boys and girls of the race. President Kealing and his splendid corps of instructors deserve untold credit for the great good being accomplished at this school. CHURCH CLUB. The Metropolitan Mission Circle had a large interesting meeting last Thursday afternoon. Mrs. F. Morris, presiding. Mrs. Nelson opened the discussion of the topic, "The Golden Rule," Matt. 7:1-12.

Wilberforce, Ohio, April 3.—This town has been rejoicing since last Thursday evening when a team representing her famous university defeated Lincoln University in Brooklyn, N. Y., in the intercollegiate debate held in the Bridge Street A. M. E. church. And because the same night here another team defeated Virginia Union University by her two victories and the defeat of Lincoln also by Union in Mt. Olivet Baptist church, New York, leads all in the debating line. The question discussed was resolved, "That the Naval and Military Resources of the United States Should be Promptly and Substantially Enlarged and Strengthened." WEDS AT 98—HAD BURIED FOUR WIVES—HE WAS LONELY. Father Jones Mitchell, one of our old citizens and living at 925 South Twenty-sixth street, went for the fifth time to the Wyandotte county probate court last Saturday, where he obtained a marriage license, and shortly afterwards was married by Judge J. T. Sims to his fiance, Mrs. Maria Cunningham. Mr. Mitchell is 98 years of age and Mrs. Mitchell 50, this being his fifth wife and the third husband for the bride. "I've outlived my other wives and I'se lonesome," the aged colored gentleman explained. "I just needed company and this here woman was willing to be wed." The couple left the court room loving as two turtle doves and happy as the birds in May. Prof. J. M. Marquess is spending a few days at Langston, Okla., where he will look after some of the interests of Langston University of which he is president and will take full charge at the close of his year's work at Sumner High.

Strong opposition to the enforcement of the ordinance has been made by the Negroes, and it has been declared by them that it is unconstitutional. Mayor Overholser, after a hearing on the merits of the segregation idea, has submitted the ordinance to the legal advisers for the city for an opinion as to its constitutionality. If the measure could not stand the test of the courts there would be no use to go to the expense of referring it to the people, is the opinion of the mayor.

HIRT WAISTS AND SKIRTS WITH Kansas City, Kansas James Tucker, Prop. ADVOCATE GRAY'S THE APPEAL TO REASON. (Continued.) Mr. James A. Intelligence—boldly enters as Respondent, and has to say. "Your appeal is unworthy, for the reason that it asks and requires a sacrifice of our right, and my rights are sacred." Second. "I allow no man to encroach upon them." Third, "No man may dictate to me, the course I am to pursue." Fourth, "I count myself the equal of any other (white) man." Fifth, "When a members of my race can give me the same consideration that I get from other men; then I will treat with him as I do with them." Ah, ha! My Good Christian Friend, I am truly glad to meet you on the field of Reason. And I hope you are prepared to proceed according to rules laid by the Greatest Character who has yet walked on Earth—the Christ—for 'tis He whom I delight to honor. He was easily the greatest logician, (reasoner) that the world has known; indeed, he opened not his mouth, without reason. So I trust you are prepared to "stay in the field" under those colors "until the war is ended' 'or at least until I shall have completely vanquished your arguments. (Good-naturedly.) To begin with, in the Field of Reason—there must be: First, Clearness of facts. (exactness) Second, The terms used to express Quantity, Quality and Condition have the same sense and meaning when applied to one class, that they have when applied to another. (Distinctiveness without confusion.) Third, There must be sufficiency of facts (Enough.) to insure Certainty. (Proof.) Fourth, We must at all times, honestly seek the Truth. If these rules are not followed our process will be Jargon instead of Reason. Then let's to it, with a will quoting as we go: "Blow wind, some Wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back!" And we will take your last proposition first, that is, your conclusion: "When a member of my race can give me the same consideration that I get from other men, then I will treat with him as I do with them." To begin with, you do not mean just what you say, nor do you say just what you mean. Neither do you mean all that you have said. And while what you have said, could be true, as uttered by you it is grossly false, as I shall show. When uttering your conclusion, you very likely had in mind the purchase of a pound of meat or other similar instance, in which case the price and the quality of the meat, displaced all other features of the transaction in your mind. But the fact that you ignored all other features of the transaction did not change the actual fact that the other party to the transaction, took part in it, with interest, motive, intent, purpose and power, in that particular transaction even, to exploit and overreach you, to say nothing of his intent and purpose to use the same as a part of a greater scheme, bent to the purpose of your complete undoing, all of which are known and admittedly involved in your conclusion. "When a member of my race, etc., etc. For it is beyond question that all those elements are present with the party, with whom you treat unless you assume the Absurd, that in your case, it is different, from what is observed to be natural in all other cases It is clear then my Dear Brother, that you have not said just what you really meant. What you meant to say was, "In all particular cases, (as that of the meat) where I can realize a monetary consideration, (generally of the smallest proportion) regardless of the Feeling, Thought, Intent, Purpose, Motive and Power of those from whom I realize it; to exploit, over-reach and injure me, in the transaction, and regardless of the further fact, that such parties, urged by all such incentives, intends the transaction as a part of a greater scheme, tending to my complete undoing, yet and still, I will carry out the transaction with him, rather than with one of my own race although his feeling, thoughts, intent, motive and purpose are the very opposite to such in those with whom I treat." Continued on page 4 NO.34 And erected homes A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE A HOME—FINEST LOCATION IN AND AROUND GREATER KANSAS CITY EASY TERMS. Some months ago we spoke in this paper of what our potato king, Mr. J. G. Groves, of Edwardsville, was going to do in the opening up of a plat of land on his farm to sell in lots or small tracts to his people that they might secure a small homestead on the easy payment plan. Today if one will go and see the results through the liberality and sacrifice of this great potato man, one would be agreeably surprised to see the number of lots and tracts that have been purchased by our people. Many have built homes, others are building and quite a few getting ready to build this summer. This land is one of the garden spots, around Greater Kansas City, and if Mr. Groves had opened this tract to the whites it would have all been taken long ago, but Mr. Groves in his philanthropic spirit caught the idea of what he might do in the way of helping his people in getting a nice little home for themselves. Those who got 5-acre lots will make them nearly pay for themselves this year. Anyone wanting a home cheap and one in the neighborhood around Kansas City with interurban cars running by their door, it certainly is a great chance to secure a home and on such liberal terms. COL. E. C. LITTLE Who will give a free lecture at the First A. M. E. church this Sunday night, April 16th. His subject will be "A Jayhawker—Egypt and the Holy Land." Col. Little was minister to Egypt for some time and traveled extensively while in that far off country. One of our great men, Wm. Allen White, says: "Little is equal to Bryan as a lecturer and can surpass him in quoting Scripture." To show the demand on the Colonel, just yesterday, he made four speeches, two in Kansas City, Mc., and two in his home city. At a noon luncheon Thursday at the Baltimore, he spoke to the G. A. R. at 3 p. m., to the W. C. T. U. in Kansas City, Kansas, at 8 p. m., to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Kansas City, Mo., and at 9:30 p. m. presided at the K. P. banquet on Minnesota avenue. No one should miss in hearing this national lecturer on Sunday evening. It is free to all and everybody should avail themselves of the opportunity. THE FORUM. The Citizens' Forum had a pleasant and profitable meeting Sunday afternoon at the Metropolitan church. The president being absent, Mrs. H. Dwiggins, V., P., presided. The following program was rendered: Quotations, current events by Prop. Jno. Hodge; Inst. Solo, Miss Jackson; Address, "Liberty and Problems of Human Welfare," ex-Mayor W. W. Rose; vocal sole, Miss Mabel Jackson; Discussion of the address, by Prof. Buster, Messrs. A. Saunders, D. W. White, and E. Robinson. Mr. Rose's opinion was "We will not have true liberty until every man can employ himself without being employed." Miss Stella Oliver on Everett avenue is quite sick. Mrs. F. A.

Office 932 Oakland ayenue.—Ed, SHOOT DOWN THEIR PROTECTOR, A few weeks ago a hysterical people on the borders of Mexico at Del Rio, Tex., plead on bended knees for the sake of men, women and children, send us men who are not afraid to die and do it quickly, as the “Virus” Vil- Ja ané his army are just across the hill, Men who are not afraid to die soon were dispatched to their defense. “The black boys,” the Twenty-fourth Infantry. One can imagine when this black regiment marched into this lit- tle Texas rebel village, the relief and burden of fear removed from their sin- ful and prejudiced hearts, only a few days later to shoot down one of these black boys, Private John Wade, who they had upon crouched knees, begged to come and save them and thelr lov- ed ones from the throes of their neigh- ‘bor. It may and it may not be true, ‘these men were not where they should have been, but in a perilous time as this was pictured to be and men who “have voluntarily joined an organization that means for them to stand between your family and death, then take his life. No doubt this Teras ranger who did the killing of his own household Protector, the sheriff and other asso- clated officers, had in their minds the Brownsville affair when ex-President Roosevelt dishonorably discharged a whole company from this same regi- ment without trial or jury and today we have some fool, unprincipled Ne- Eroes advocating the cause of just 6uch rebels, as took the life of their trother in black at Del Rio. ‘The Advocate takes pleasure in giv- ing to its readers in this issue an editorial from the Kansas City Jour nal, one of our leading dailies of the West. This strong editor takes up our “Colored Troops” and deals With them in an unbiased and unprejudiced manner. There is no doubt but what this paper from an editorial view i the fairest and broadest in dealing ou justice to the colored man of any pub lication in the Middle West. Let u: show our appreciation. NEGRO TROOPS. The wisdom of avoiding race col- sions in the disposition of Negro troops is again demonstrated by the wnfortunate occurrence reported from Del Rio, Tex., where a detachment of aaen from the Twenty-fourth infantry “shot up the town” after a disgraceful brawl in a disreputable house. This a2lfair is very similar to that which ‘oc curred at Brownsville, as a result of which, it will be recalled, President Reosevelt dishonorably discharged three companies when the guilty par ties were not betrayed by their com rades, This incident brought down z great deal of severe criticism upor the president at the time, for it wa: felt that those who could not possibly Lave been {implicated in the troubl should not have been punished. However, this feature has not en tered into the present difficulty, whicl only proves that, wherever possib! Negro troops should not be quartered even for defensive purposes, in loca! ities where race troubles are almos certain to follow. It is all the mor deplorable in view of the admirabi record which is being made by th Tenth cavalry in Mexico, a recor which bears out the long and hono: able history of the famous “Tent legion.” A detachment of the Tent cavalry, Negro troops, under Colon W. C. Brown, performed one of th most notable feats in the pursuit ¢ Villa, when, after undergoing a force march, attended by extraordinar hardships, the Negro soldiers cam vpon a much larger force of bandit and, despite their exhaustion, put u sich a vigorous fight that the bandil BUSINESS DIRECTORY + JEWELER 1 DENTISTS. d.

Tapp, Ph.B. "The Truth About the Bible," about five hundred pages, $2.00. "Way Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman," the 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 original sin and cause of death. They are arresting the attention of t. medical, scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people and all classes as no expert knows or admits that they 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 think- ers 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. We have arranged with the author to fill all orders for these books.

SEV Apeal to Reason "" Continued from page 1. ata: And now my Dear Brother i Christ, let me concede that you,sav @ cent on the pound of meat. Doe it not occur to you, that you are ver. near, if not quite “Penny-wise ani pound-foolish.” ’Tis sald that the devil sold hi soul for a tray of meat. Brother, Déar Brother, does it no occur to you, that your will go at < still smaller price? Since it is clear that you did no’ say what you meant, by long odds; Let us see whether or not you really meant what you did say. “When a member of my race can give me the same consideration, that 1 get from other men; then I will treat with him as I do with them.” Ah, Ab-ha—let us see. Those to whom, you render your bet offices and service, in the way of business, trade or professional matters, have for you a race prejudice that breeds aversion and hinderance in and to, all that is elevating. They evince a connivance that cur. tails your chances to pursue, as do others—life liberty and happiness. ‘They cherish foryou a feeling of Hate, which gives to you in almost every in- stance, only that; which may not be filched from you, by other than the boldest violation of fundamental law and in many instances, they go to that extent even. In a word, they play for you, a Same disguised in some phases, which in the last analysis, means your ex- ploitation to un-adulterated death, all of which you My Dear Brother Rea- soner, very well know, and yet, sir, for the glitter of the Penny on the Pound of meat, or a similar immediate advantage, which you think (it exists principally in your thought only) you get in other instances—you carry and cast at the feet of those who treat you thus—your Richest and Rarest Pearls. Now, then, My Brother Reasoner, if you were satisfied that your Broth- er in Black had for you the same feel- ing, thought, intent, motive and pur- pose, that you know those, whom you thus honor have for you. Do you tell me, Brother, and expect me to believe it. That, although he gave you ten pennies in the pound of meat, and an equal portion in other transactions, that because of such small money consideration, that you would treat with your Black Brother, even if the other fellows relation to you was the same as that of your brother—to say nothing of whether or not you would, were his relation to you, the same as your Black Broth- er’s Is now—with the inclination at times to give you a penny less in the pound? My Dear Brother Reasoner, I am satisfied, that you yourself, are satis- fied, that were you satisfied that your Brother in Black, had any such unto- ward feeling towards you, that you would have no dealings with him, un- jer ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, notwith- standing you have affirmed in your conclusion that you would. It is clear beyond question, that you DO NOT even, MEAN what little you say in your conclusion. Your conclusion at first glance, per- haps may look well, but it is grossly faulty, as well also; the four prem- ises leading to ‘it, are equally as| faulty. | You had better look over it, and see| if you would not like to change it. It is much like the egg that fails to tateh with the brood, itlooks all right put break it as you would any other —and, Umph—Ah—Ahem —PHEW— Cmph.

DORSEY GRESN, SUCCESSFUL YEAR, The fiscal year of the Yate’s Branct of the Young Women’s Christian As sociation , in ‘Kansas: City, Kansas Closed March 31st. The associatior has compiled these following facts: A Christian home jn a modern house is offered to young women. 3600 women and girls have visited our rooms. 29 permanent and transient lodgers accommodated. 15 women placed in positions. 1,173 attended religious meetings. 6 clubs ror girls and women-tormed. 12 women’s clubs and otner organ- izations use the Association parlors. 2 weekly Bible classes meet. | 21 entertainments and socials given. 49 enrolled in gymnasium classes. Tn conversation with the secretary we learned that the Association had done real social service work. Several girls, we learned, on becoming finan- cially embarrassed, were taken in and cared for until they could find work and re-establish themselves. One young girl who had caused parental displeasure, sought and found refuge here until home conditions were amel- jorated. The Association home was found in excellent condition, every department being spick and the secretary busy at her desk formulating her plans for raising the maintenance fund for the ensuing year, This fund is growing because the work has justified it. In times past there have been those who chose to “wait and see.” But now these same people are contributing to what has proven to be a worthy cause. The committee of management has entimated the annual budget to be $1,000. Won't you be one of the many to help raise this budget? The secretary informed me that pledges of any amount would be gratefully re- ceived. Our visit was a pleasant ore. So we left our pledge paid in full. Go thou and do likewise. —A FRIEND.

Bowren, preached throughout the en- tire meeting and was none the worse off. It shows his great physical pow- eras well as spiritual, and all hhis ser mons were the result of prayerful thought. May the Lord bless him in his endeavor to preach the gospel. H. A. GEREN, President. H. J. MESLEY, Secretary. Rey. D. B. Jackson, pastor of the fighth Street church, will deliver a lecture on next Sunday to the student hody of the Topeka Industrial School at Topeka. Dr. Jackson is much sought for in many parts of the coun. try asa lecturer and especially to the young folks. The revival at the Eighth Street Baptist church, which has been going on for a week, is having good results. Quite a number have been added to the church already and the pastor, Dr. Jackson, who {s conducting these meetings, says: “Greater work is ex- pected before they close for the sal- vation of fallen humanity.” The plays at the First A. M. E. church given Wednesday night by the Trustee Helpers, was a grand af fair, and the large audience enjoyed the double-header from the time it started until the curtain was rung donw on the last act. Mrs. EB. J. Pat: terson certainly understands and knows what the people like when it comes to putting on entertainments, It was a great success in every way- While the editor appreciates any matter sent in which is commendable to our citizens or The Advocate, we would also appreciate if the senders would kindly sign their names and addresses, even if they desire their name e be withheld from print. ‘The Linwood Art Club will give 2 ocial at the residence of Mrs. Ethel King, 1108 Oakland avenue, Monday evening, the 17th.

DORSEY GREEN, Atty. for Plff. (First publication April 14, 1916.) CLEAN UP. This is one of the seasons that a general cleaning and renovating takes place among civilized people, but it is known in many places where eulture and refinement is unfurled to society, one could find in and around our homes a number of exits in a woe ful unsanitary condition. Some people clean about their homes like some people dress their shoes, dress the front only. Dress up the back yard as you do the front. Remove atl rubbish and garbage from the alley, and then sprinkle lime and not sparingly, about where these offalls have lain so long in a state of decomposition. This be- ing done before the hot weather sets in you may save a doctor bill or even one or more of the family. The Boy Scouts benefit, whieh is to come off Thursday evening, April 20th should be largely attended by the gen- eral public. Whatever)is good for the white boy is just as good for the col- ‘ored boy. And we know the white parent would not spend the money and time that he does on his Boy Scout i! he know it was mot a benefit in some way. So let us help our boys now, 80 ‘hat they will be able to help some other boy when we have gone, Bell Phone West 638 Honest Man’s Friend: 8. P.
