KEALING, PRESIDENT OF WESTERN UNIVERSITY QUINDARO, KAS., MAKES .RESPONSE TO FRATERNAL DELEGATES FROM COLORED METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH—DR. JOHN W. MCKINNEY OF TEXAS DELIVERS FRATERNAL GREETINGS TO A. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE. Philadelphia, Pa., May 10.—At the close of the excellent greetings from the C. M. E. Church, delivered in such a friendly spirit and so forcibly, Dr. B. F. Watson sang "When the Mists Have Rolled Away," and "Come, We That Love the Lord." By Bishop Johnson: "I have great pleasure in calling upon Prof. H. T. Kealing to tell his brother from C. M. E. church how delighted we are to have seen and heard him." Prof. Kealing arose amid a storm of applause. After the applause Prof. Kealing said: "Bishops, Fraternal Delegate from our Sister Church, Members of the General Conference and Friends: "I could wish after having heard such a profound and comprehensive greeting from the C. M. E. Church that our response might have had the benefit of preparation so that we might have fittingly praised our acceptance of this fraternal message today. I presume the reason why I was notified about ten minutes ago instead of ten days ago, was because the African Methodist Episcopal Church has such supreme faith in its great heart, and realizing that out of the fulness of the heart the mouth speaketh, that it required no preparation of the head at all. (Applause). "I presume also that the Bishops had in mind that the work of co-operation with the sister church is the one thought in our minds, and therefore African Methodism is always ready to respond to the extended hand of a sister church. "It seems to me, brethren, that a growing recognition is coming day after day and year after year of the fact that these churches, these different denominations, are not in each other's way, but helpers, in the same way that the magnet when brought near steel does not lose any of its strength but gives strength; and so these different denominations confronting each other in the battlefield of life do not take from each other, but add strength to each other. The work of co-operation must come from the interchange of knowledge and greetings such as we have had today. Men are not necessarily co-operating because they are working at the same time, in the same place, but we must be working toward the same purposes. If on a cold winter's day I should tie around my neck a ring and then suspend from that ring 10,000 woolen strings, each separate from the other and should go out into the cold air of winter. I would freeze to death, notwithstanding those corde might be woolen, which is a warm substance. But, if instead of running those strings independently of each other I will weave them together, I shall no longer have 10,000 separate strings, I shall have one solid piece of cloth. So it is necessary to have these churches, not side by side, but they should be so woven in co-operation, fraternal interest and inflated so that the world may be warmed by our joint action. "The African Methodist Episcopal Church has stood 100 years, but there is a difference in the ways of standing even. We are told that the religious man shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, and I have thought that the reason God used this figure was because there is a kind of standing which is not to be commended. If I plant a post in the ground it will stand. The longer that post stands the weaker it becomes, and if I plant a tree it will grow; it gets it strength and gets more solid from the first. A boy can come along and push the post down after 20 years' standing, but when I plant a tree I plant life. I plant internal strength and I plant power that begins to work against decay. No boy can push it down. The longer it stands the stronger it becomes. It defies the whole community. "The African Methodist Church is like that tree with life and growth. We have sailed upon the high seas of tenuous life. We have gone against the head winds of prejudice; we have not internal weakness with prayer and Godly strength. We have seen the lowering of the clouds; we have been lighted on our way by the flashes of lightning. We have heard the thunders. (Applause.) "We are not the old man who used to ferry passengers across the river—river full of rocks. A passenger said to him one day, as he was going across: "Is it not dangerous for you to cross this rapid current among all these rocks?" The old man said, "Yes, it is dangerous, but I have ferryed across here many years. I know every rock in this channel." Just about that time the boat struck a rock. He said, "There is one now." (Laughter and applause.) "And so the African Methodist Episcopal church has avoided many rocks, but striking some is still battling with the current, shoved off from the rocks, and now she is in sight of the harbor and with our bishops on the bridge and with prayers sent out by our pilots and receiving the answer from our sister churches, we are coming. We shall make port and instead of one old ship of Zion, men shall say, 'Behold how God has multiplied His people!' and shall be brought and reach a successful termination of their voyage. "Now, my friends, I want to say to Dr. McKinney, we are with him in all Godliness. We are pushing our endeavors not only in the Southland, but Africa knows our name. Our bishops And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, MAY 19, 1916 have gone there and prayed and suffered, separated from loved ones and seeing them only as through a periscope of faith. We have gone in the midst of the jungles and of the deserts and among the vernacular of those tongues they have preached Jesus Christ in English, and it has been changed into the vernacular until every man has known what God's Word is. They have suffered privations and are willing to suffer in order that the world may be saved. They are willing to go through more than they have gone through in the name of Christ. By losing our life we save it. How can you save a thing by losing it? If you take a piece of chalk and put it into some coffee it does not change the taste of the coffee. You simply get that bitter taste. And if you pour the coffee off the chalk will be in the bottom unchanged. But if, instead, you put some sugar into the coffee and stir it, you will find that the coffee has a sweet taste. It has lost itself in the coffee. (Applause.) "So tell the world that the African Methodist preachers have thrown themselves into the cup of service and given their lives for the uplift of the community that they may sweeten the home. (Applause.) "May God bless your deliberations. Our Church is A. M. E.. We start with the first letter of the alphabet. A. M. E. spells aim. God Almighty started this Church but with an aim. God started out a little black baby. He met the mighty Goliath of prejudice. He started out a poor, weak, naked slave to battle of Goliath. This little baby has gone with his little sling of slender education, his little sling of wealth, his little sling of popularity; he has met Goliath, his aim. Goliath is staggering, falling." (Long ap clause.) Odd Fellows Have Sermon HOUSEHOLD LOOKS AT THEIR BEST—FINE SERMON. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of the local lodges and the Households of the city, held their annual sermon on last Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p. m. at the First Baptist church at the corner of Fifth and Nebraska avenue. While the day was in element, there was not much evidence noticed in the lack of loyalty of those who took the obligation of Friendship, Love and Truth. With two excellent bands, Quindaro and Inter-City, grand display parade was made in the western part of the city before going to the church. The Patriaichie under command of Capt. Jones, made a fine appearance on the street. The program was as follows: Vocal solo, Miss Dorothy Johnson; paper, Miss Beatrice Anderson; vocal solo, Miss Thelma Jackson; paper, Mrs. Mayme Young; address on Odd Fellowism, Mr. F. B. Anderson. The sermon was delivered by Dr. N. S. Jenkins of Argentine. The Households of which there were a large number, were waiting at the church for the subordinate lodges and when these bodies were scated nearly the entire seating capacity of this church was occupied. Past Grand Master Dorsey Green was Master of Ceremonies. The Negro in American History The Negro in American History EXHIBITS OF OUR OWN SCHOOLS WHICH DESERVE SPECIAL MENTION. While all of our school exhibits from every department, both high and graded were in some instances in a class to themselves we are going to mention a few of them. One of the most interesting exhibits that was to be found at the Junior High school last week was a history of the Negro race, entitled, "The Negro in American History," written by the American History class of Sumner High school under the guidance and supervision of their teacher, Mr. Buster. The work is in twelve chapters, and covers eighty-five pages of typewritten matter including maps and pictures. The chapter heads are as follows: Chapter I—The Origin and Dispersion of the Race. Chapter II—In the Home Land. Chapter III—Strange Faces and Strange Lands, 1442-1619. Chapter IV—"The Middle Passage," 1619-1775. Chapter V—The Cloud Appears, 1775-1820. Chapter VI—The Cloud Deepens, 1820-1852. Chapter VII — The Threatened Storm, 1852-1860. Chapter VIII—The Storm Breaks, Birth of Freedom, 1861-1865. Chapter IX—Reconstruction: Personal and Political Rights, 1865-1877. Chapter X—Progress and Development, 1877-1916. Chapter XI—Contributions of American Life to the Negro. Chapter XII—Contributions of the Negro to American Life. This same class has two other exhibits of unusual interest. One was entitled "Up from Slavery," and consisted of a series of pictures designed to show Negro progress since freedom. The other gives twenty interesting facts not generally known about the race, ten reasons why we should study the history of our race, six contributions of America to the Negro, and six contributions of the Negro to American life. One of the finest and most attractive pieces of furniture from all of the school exhibits, was the solid mahogany Victrola made by Ray Trotter of Sumner High, with inlaid border, and other decorations in colors, caused cabinet makers to hardly believe their own eyes and especially the inlaid part, as one was heard to say, "that is not inlaid, as it is too smooth." Mr. Trotter has refused $300 for it, as he expects to keep it himself. From this same department is a bird's eye maple dressing table made by Mr. Brooks of the night school class, which excelled anything in that line for design and workmanship. In the Douglass exhibit was seen on the walls, several pictures and as many doubtless only observed them as decorations but these pictures were water color paintings made by students of this school. Many returned to review them the second time after learning from some one they were the work of students. The whole world is a flame of war. The United States is threatened from every direction. We may be in war with Mexico by the time this gets to press. Our country may be engaged with some of the European countries almost any day. Japan is a constant source of danger. It is our duty to put patriotic Americans on guard. It is a good time to select men who have been tested and did their duty. When the great civil war closed the soldiers who saved the republic filled the halls of congress and the state houses and they made this a great and wonderful country and maintained its honor and dignity. This thought is one of the principal things that is making Colonel Little's candidacy so popular all through the district. Every sensible man realizes that it is a good time to have a soldier on guard. Every patriotic person feels that it is a good time to recognize patriotism and service to the country. Col. Little was a leader of the famous fighting Twentieth Kansas regiment whose fame was heralded around the world and brought renowned to the state of Kansas. He fought at the Rio Tulijuan, Polo, Malinta, Meycaucan, Marilao, Bocaue, Biga, Gulguinto, Malolos, San Fernando, and won the respect and affection of the splendid soldiers of that great regiment. That is one of the reasons why the Republicans of this city are almost unanimous in his support. Col. Little is not a professional soldier. He was a citizen soldier who went to war for patriotic motives. He knows what danger is, and his experience will keep him from helping get this country into azy war if it can be properly avoided. His experience will qualify him to know what to do if we must go to war. Colonel Little has had an experience that would make him a splendid congressman. He did not take advantage of his soldier career and go to running for office as soon as he got home. For seventeen years he was a candidate for nothing, but devoted himself to supporting his family and building up a law practice and being a good citizen. A gentleman who was younger than he and could have gone to war in our hour of trial and who has had the support of his friends in nearly a dozen political contests in which he led them to ADVOCATE PATRIOTS ON GUARD Four Bishops defeat, certainly could well afford to step aside, particularly in view of the almost universal support Col. Little is receiving here, and let a soldier go to congress unanimously. This community is overwhelmingly for Little. He was a gallant soldier who risked his life for his country. He is a University graduate with a fine education. He has a broad experience at the bar and in diplomacy. A former sheriff in the southern part of the district seeks to take advantage of the fact that there are two candidates here and beat this city out of a congressman, and it behooves us all to get together Kansas City has only been represented in congress by a Kansas City man nine years in the last forty years, and the Republicans of this county have only been represented in congress by a local man two years in the last forty. Mr. Guyer would do a very nice and graceful thing by withdrawing in Col. Little's favor and helping to send a soldier and patriot to congress. Why single us out? THE APPEAL CONTINUED—AND ANSWER TO THE TEACHER, THE PREACHER AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS. From all directions comes the inquiry, "Why single us out?" From the teacher comes, "Why should the teacher be any more concerned than others? What sacrifice do they owe?" From the preacher we hear, "That is not preaching the gospel." "And why should I take any step in that line?" From other professional men we hear, "That is a matter of private concern, and to my personal benefit." From the procurer (the snitch) we hear. "It is an easy thing to do, and I can make a good livelihood; of having my people turn their professional business to white men—it is a matter of business with me." These, with a few other pretended reasons from other sources, might possibly make some one question whether or not we went too far when we said. "It is the bounden duty of the teacher to teach, and of the preacher to preach, and of the professional, along with all of them, to zealously and scrupulously practice race consciousness in all things." However, when you survey the field accurately and analyze closely, you will find that in all these objections and questions there is naught but fuss and feathers. You will observe that while these objectors and questioners have shown plainly what their desires and inclinations are they have given no proof of why they should be made up that way. They have asserted that they have a certain privilege, but have shown no reason why they should exercise it as they do. In short, they, like Mr. Intelligence Mr. Dollars worth and Mr. Wiseacre who have spoken out heretofore have been in a great hurry, but have gone nowhere, seen nobody and brought back nothing to prove the contrary of what they have said and now say. I will first answer the collective question, "Why single us out?" By saying, "My dear sir, we have not done so, you yourselves have assumed to excel in those high callings and have thus "singled out" yourselves. All we ask that as agents in those high callings you will simply deliver the goods with the proper brand on them. We will now answer just one question from each group of the class of citizens who should be examples. 1. Why should the teacher be any more concerned than others? Dear teacher, isn't it yet clear to you that your very assumption and presumption of the role of teachers gives to the laity the right to make the demand upon you? The very essence of your relation to the people is the notion that you are capable of and are inclined to teach the rank Continued on Page 2 NO.39 CONFERENCE DOWN TO BUSINESS —REPORTS SHOW AN UPWARD MARCH—GUESTS BEING HIGHLY ENTERTAINED. Philadelphia, May 15.—The General Conference of the A. M. E. church which opened their Quadrennial session and the Centennial of this great organization on May the 3rd for a three weeks of hard and strenuous work, closed up its second week with much satisfaction to the bench of bishops and the 627 churchmen who had been sent to Philadelphia from this country and Africa, to legislate for the church's greatest good. As it generally is, when any great body of human being come together who have not seen each other for four years, the joy which it brings one might imagine there would be some overflow of greetings of lung inflation and so for the first few days of the session this quadrenn center was no exception to the rule but by the first of last week the "free air" sign had been taken down and the great leaders of the African Methodist Episcopal church got down to real business and the week closed with much legislature work. Quadrennial reports from the heads of the church institutions and other departments with the exception of a few, a good account was given of their stewardship. Those which were not on a par with other years owed their standing to the appalling condition of the country and in some cases it was purely local. The general connection of the church and its auxiliaries show a strong and forward march has been going on in the past four years and especially in the Missionary department. Reports of the church schools show that a number of them during this Quadrennial have cancelled mortgages which have been standing for years. Four bishops are to be elected, of which two of them will be assigned to the work in Africa in which Bishop Johnson and Bishop Heard have been over for 8 years and these bishops will be assigned to districts at home. It is probable that Bishop Johnson will be appointed to the Fifth district which takes in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, California and the Puget Sound Conference. The Fifth Episcopal district is a large one and it looks as though it might be split into two districts. There will not be many changes in the staff of general officers and as to who will be the new bishops one can only say they will be the men who receive the most votes and it is the feeling that the Conference is laying aside personal friendship and petty grievances and will elect real men to this high exalted office. Men with a heart and soul. Men whose lives are Chirst-like. Men with cultured minds of high intellectual attainments What t'e Church needs today is real men. The Conference will probably close Monday or Tuesday of next week without some hitch takes place before not seen. The weather conditions in the east during the month have not been pleasant, but the Conference and visitors have been nicely entertained and taken care of by the splendid people of the city and neighboring towns regardless of creed or denomination. The biggest and grandest thing put on during the Conference session and a part of it was the Historical Pageant the Star of Ethiopia. It was prepared by Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bois and represented the history of the Negro from early Egyptian times down to the present. It was held in Convention hall three nights this week with 1,000 characters, representing every church denomination and fraternal organization of race variety. It is said by our leading men and women of the country outside of our own great men and women to be one of the greatest spectacular entertainments ever produced of its kind. Thousands witnessed it during the week at 50c, 75c and $1.06. The Kansas delegation with that great leader and preacher, Dr. J. R. Ransom, is in the midst of personal recognition at all times. We are hoping that Dr. Ransom may be one of the four elected to the bishop's chair. KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE. And Independent. THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. LOTTIE B. HALL, CIRCULATING MANAGER.

E. church and the assist- t pastor, Rev. Dr. G. E. Horsey, are both appointed to fill pulpits last sunday from the Sunday appointments made by the General Conference. Dr. Ransom preached at the Union Bap- st church at 11 a. m. and Dr. Horsey reached at Campbell A. M. E., Media, p. m. The editor received some mail this week from The Advocate's circulating manager and representative at the General Conference, Mrs. Lottie B. Hall, who stated she with others from its city were enjoying themselves and living high. She also stated the conference sessions had not been of a grave kind. Dr. S. H. Thompson, M.D., of our city, who is representing the Kansas city, Kansas, district as layman at the General Conference is spoken of there as one of the most popular lay delegates of that great body. We were very sorry to receive word that both Dr. Ransom, pastor of First A. M. E. church, and Dr. Horsey, who are attending the General Conference at Philadelphia have been somewhat indisposed. It is hoped by all of their many friends it was only of a minor nature. HISTORY 2. EDUCATION WEEK. The History of the Sophomore class of Sumner High was exhibited last week at the Junior High school on Okee street and Ivandale avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. The pupils had different kinds of History exhibits, such as Ancient, Medieval and Modern which they study in school, under their splendid teacher, Mr. G. B. Busser of the History department. Some of the various exhibits of History were the Ancient, Greek and Roman Temples compared with those of today. For instance the columns and architecture of Greece compared with that of the Metropolitan Temple on Ninth and Washington boulevard. Many exhibits showed what prehistoric and ancient an has done for us. Many drawing show how we are indebted to the past for the necessities of life today. The construction of buildings, temples, bridges, maps and charts of different designs, and pictures of great men are our History Department. The different writings of the ancients are compared with the writings of today. Many interesting facts may be gained from that splendid History department of the friends and patrons noticed and read them carefully while visiting the building.—Student. EDUCATIONAL WEEK. Prof. Neely and his group of schools have a good program Friday afternoon at the junior high school. More whites were present than colored.* It was as follows: 1. Chorus, Douglass S. 2. Wand drill, Stowe S. 3. Playlet, Barnyard Scene, Lincoln school, very good. 4. Playlet, 2 acts, 6th grade pupils under Miss Mabel Jackson, teacher, was superfine. The little girl who acted Matilda was the best but all did well. 5. Chorus, "Tis Morn." All the memebers of Harmony lodge No. 58, and their families are invited to be with us at our big tent meeting and rally Sunday, May the 21st. REV. J. S. THURSTON, Pastor Quindaro Highland Baptist Church STATE CAPITAL NEWS STATE CAPITAL NEWS Topeka, Kansas: The dancing party given by the Springs Maids at Metropolitan hall on Friday, evening of last week, was a very enjoyable affair. Many out-of-town folks were in attendance. The commencement sermon of the Topeka Industrial Institute will be delivered on May 21 at 2:30 p. m. by the Rev. Dr. John E. Ford of Jacksonville, Fla. The address to the graduating class will be delivered on May 24, 2 p. m. by the Hon. William Harrison of Oklahoma City, Qkla. The Rev. Mr. Isaacs of the Theological department of Western University is supplying the pulpit of St John's A. M. E. church during the absence of the pastor, the Rev. F. J Peck. Lawyer J. H. Guy spent Thursday and Saturday of last week in Kansas City on professional business. Mr. and Mrs. Tillery, of Chicago, are visiting relatives and friends in this city. Mr. Tillery is a licensed emblamer and may locate here. The bazaar held the 16th, 17th, and 18th, at Calvary Presbyterian church, was a success in every way, and the pastor and members are to be congratulated on their splendid management. We wonder if there is any seriousness on the part of those who sing so loudly the praises of ex-President Roosevelt? If we are to take it from some of the papers, he is the only man in the United States now qualified for the persidency. It is not strange that out of all of the politicians and statesmen, that there is but one to be found worthy? No one doubts the ability of Mr. Roosevelt or that of Mr. Taft, but the question of political expediency enters into the question. If the party was so cemented that either of these gentlemen could be elected if nominated, both doubtless would be seeking the nomination. It is our opinion that such is not the fact. We doubt the ability of the party to succeed with either at the head of the ticket. The party divided on them four years ago, and while the division might not be so pronounced this year as then, yet it is not certain by any means that enough of the sores have been healed to warrant victory this fall should either head the ticket. We think Mr. Taft is aware of this fact hence his silence on the presidential question. The strength of Mr. Wilson must not be under estimated. On many of the great questions he has many of the rank and file of the Republican party with him and will have, when the time comes, all of the Democrats. If the Republicans go to Chicago and bring out a weakling, a cripple, such as either Roosevelt or Taft, it is our opinion it at the Democratic party will again be successful. If we are to win this fall our candidates must have not bruises nor sores. He must be clean cut and simon pure. It cannot be said that the fact that Mr. Roosevelt wrested the party four years ago has been or can be so far forgotten that all will spring to his call now. Do not think it for a single moment. From the fact that the Democratic party desires the nomination of either Roosevelt or Taft, should be sufficient to convey to any one that the Democratic party considers either a weakling and would be easily defeated. If the party is to be rehabilitated it must succeed in November in electing the ticket. If defeated in November the party is gone. The Chicago convention has before it a very grave responsibility. Its action will be the life or death of the Republican party. Personal ambitions and selfish motives, the reward of friends or the punishment of enemies must all be laid aside, and forgotten. Availability should be the watchword. The choice of the convention should be a man full of spirit of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States. A man of high ideals and broad views. A man who believes in government of, by and for the people, and who will so execute the duties of his office. Some broad-gauged, sound to the core Republican who has never deserted nor strayed from the fold. The wedding of Mrs. Millle Wright and Mr. Porter of Argentine was solemnized Wednesday, May 17, at her home. The couple will live in Argentine. ODD FELLOWS DRILL CONTEST POSTPONED TO MAY 24TH. On account of the inclement weather the contest drill and entertainment that was to be given by the G. U. O. of O. F. at M. and O. hall, May 11th, was continued to May 24th. All tickets sold will be good on that date. —COMMITTEE. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE. BUSINESS DIRE JEWELER BUSINESS DIRECTORY JEWELER J. A. WILSON is Kansas City's Pioneer Negro Jeweler.

While Rev. Henderson is young in the ministry he is not lacking in spiritual eloquence and power. This young gospel trumpeter has a great future and soon will be known as one of the great powers of the church.

Appeal to Reeson Continued from Page 1. and file that which they should know and which, too, is best for them, and will lead them to higher ground, and it will be conceded by all fair minded persons that that which is being urged in this appeal is the only agency that can elevate and save the race. Then can there be any plainer evidence as to what your duty is in the premises? And isn't it true that your teaching is made decidedly more effective by your example? In truth isn't that the quintessence of teaching, to do so by precept and example? Mix thinking with your teaching and your duty to take the initiative in the process will easily appear to you. (There are still other reasons to be given). 2. To the poor fellow who says, "That is not preaching the gospel." Let me subjoin, "Couldn't the thing he said about a good many other things you say and do?" Let us admit 'tis not preaching the gospel, still you must admit that "It is mighty good preaching." And that it is the kind that you should do—or that you should preach directly against it. For there is no middle ground—it is either right, or it is wrong. If it is right, then you should lay to loudly and long in the pulpit and out of it, talk to and tell the people of their duty. Labor zealously to show how far wrong is the poor soul who says "If you take your business or professional matters to a Nigger (Negro) he soon gets big and don't know you." Show him that his statement in 999 cases in every thousand is absolutely false and that it grows out of his own narrowness and envy. Call him right down to brass tacks and show him that he is really judging others by what he knows he would in such instances do. Show him that he himself knows that he is false in the assertion and that he makes it out of pure ignorant prejudice against his own race. Show him that even were it true that his black brother would "get big and away from him" he would still be a thousand points nearer to him and would do more for him in a crucial test than would his "Other friends" who have never been near him and who were born "big and above him" in their estimation. Show them that the proof of our contention is easy in the practice of those "Other friends" through all time and now in wronging and exploiting them in all possible ways and in the evident and expressed intention of treating them in no other relation than members of an inferior and despised race. Show them what an unworthy and small thing they do when they presume against their own race and take their business and professional matters to their other friends. (Answer others next week.) I. F.

Section 6. Whereas, the City of Kansas City, Kansas, contemplates within the time hereafter limited the construction of viaducts on Twelfth Street, Seventh Street and Fifth Street, from a point approximately or the north line of the Terminal Company's right-of-way (with an approach thereto from the north) and extending from such Terminal Company's right-of-way to a connection with the highway bridges over the Kansas River at Twelfth Street and Fifth Street, and a bridge to be constructed at or near Seventh Street. Now, therefore, the Terminal Company asrees: (4) That it will, subject to the conditions and limitations hereinafter set forth, construct so much of the aforesaid viaducts as is hereinafter provided. And the city agrees that before the Terminal Company shall be required to begin the construction of any viaduct, the City will pay, or cause to be paid, to the Terminal Company, one-third (1-3) of the estimated cost of the construction provided for at Twelfth Street, and one-third (1-3) of the cost of construction provided for at Seventh Street, which said cost shall in each case include all damages to property occasioned by the construction of such viaducts, to be ascertained in the manner herein after provided. When the construction work at either the Twelfth Street viaduct or the Seventh Street viaduct has been completed an adjustment shall be made so that the payment by the Terminal Company shall in each case be two-thirds (2-3) of the actual cost as herein provided, or, (b) The right is reserved to Kansas City, at its option, to construct the portions of said viaducts hereinafter described, in accordance with the plans prepared by the Terminal Company and approved by Kansas City, as hereinafter provided. In such event, the Terminal Company agrees that it will, subject to the conditions and limitations hereinafter set forth, pay to Kansas City, such part of the cost of said viaducts, including all damage to property occasioned by the construction of such viaducts, as is herein made an obligation of the Terminal Company. Such payments shall be made monthly on estimates by the City Engineer as the work progresses. (c) At Fifth Street: The Terminal Company shall construct in accordance with the terms of sub-division (a) of this Section, or shall pay in accordance with the terms of sub-division (b) of this section all of the cost of so much of a viaduct as shall be located north of the south line of the Terminal Company's right-of-way, including an approach at the north end of said viaduct, which shall be as near as possible to a five and one-half per cent (51%) grade, without extending the approach north of the south line of the first alley north of Cheyenne Avenue; provided, however, that the city agrees to relieve the Terminal Company of any additional expense which may be caused by reason of the presence of the Kansas City Southern Railway Company's tracks lying north of the Terminal Company's right-of-way and by reason of any adjustment of the grade of said track and of the viaduct approach which the said track may make necessary. Said viaduct shall have a clearance of at least twenty-two (22) feet above the top of rail of the Terminal Company's most northerly track across Fifth Street, and the width of the viaduct shall be eighteen (18) feet, six (6) inches. Plans for said portion of said viaduct shall be prepared by the Terminal Company as soon as practicable after the passage of an ordinance by Kansas City requiring it so to do but not in any event, less than three years after this ordinance becomes effective. Construction of said viaduct shall begin as soon as practicable after approval of the plans therefor and shall be completed within two years after the date of such approval. (d) At Seventh Street: The Terminal Company shall construct in accordance with the terms of subdivision (a) of this section; or shall pay in accordance with the terms of subdivision (b) of this section, two-thirds (2.3) of the cost of so much of a viaduct as shall be located north of the southerly line of the Terminal Company's right-of-way where said right-of-way is intersected by the southerly extension of the center line of Seventh Street north of Pawnee Avenue. The roadway for said viaduct shall have a width of thirty-six (36) feet clear between curbs and shall be provided with one sidewalk five (5) feet in width. Said viaduct shall have a clearance of at least twenty-two (22) feet above the top of rail of all the Terminal Company's tracks. The north end of the north approach to said viaduct shall be at a point twenty (20) feet south of the south line of Cheyenne Avenue. Plans for said portion of said viaduct shall be prepared by the Terminal Company as soon as practicable after passage of an ordinance by Kansas City requiring it so do, but not less than two years after this ordinance becomes effective. Actual construction of said viaduct shall be begun by the Terminal Company as soon as practicable after approval of the plans and shall be completed within one year after date of such approval; provided, however, that the Terminal Company shall not be required to commence construction or said portion of said viaduct earlier than is necessary to have it in ser vice when a bridge shall have been completed at Seventh Street across the Kansas River. (e) At Twelfth Street: The Terminal Company shall construct in accordance with the terms of subdivision (a) of this section; or shall pay, in accordance with the terms of subdivision (b) of this section, two-thirds (2-3) of the cost of, so much of a viaduct, as shall be located north of the northerly line of the right-of-way of the Kansas City Southern Railway Company (formerly owned by the Union Terminal Railway Company). The roadway of said viaduct shall have a width of thirty-six (36) feet clear between curbs, and shall be provided with one sidewalk five (5) feet in width. Said viaduct shall have a clearance of twenty-two (22) feet above top of rail of each of the Terminal Company's tracks and the rate of grade of the north approach shall be five and one-half per cent $(5\frac{1}{2}\%)$. Plans for said portion of said viaduct shall be submitted by the Terminal Company to the Board of Commissioners for approval as soon as practicable after the passage of an Ordinance by Kansas City requiring it so to do, but, not in any event, in less than two years after this ordinance becomes effective. The work of constructing said viaduct shall begin as soon as practicable after the date of the approval of the plans and shall be completed within one year after such date. (1) Wherever there are existing street car tracks on the street upon which a viaduct is to be constructed hereunder, Kansas City shall pass such ordinance or ordinances as may be necessary to require the person or corporation owning or operating such street railway to take up his or its tracks and replace the same at his or its own expense upon the new viaduct and to pave the surface of the roadway of the new viaduct between its rails and for a space of eighteen (18) inches outside of each of its outer rails, and to maintain such pavement after the same is constructed, and to make provision at his or its own expense for the the temporary operation of his or its tracks and street car traffic thereover while such new viaduct is being constructed. (g) It is agreed that the City shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, that portion of each viaduct and approach which the Terminal Company is hereby required to construct, and that the Terminal Company shall pay (a) the entire cost of such maintenance at Fifth Street and (b) at Seventh Street and Twelfth Street two thirds of the cost of such maintenance, exclusive of paving between the rails of street car tracks and for a space of eighteen (18) inches on the outside of each outer rail, which said paving shall be maintained without expense to the Terminal Company, or, at the option of the City of Kansas City, Kansas, the Terminal Company shall pay that portion of the cost of maintaining the structure provided for herein, that the amount contributed by the Terminal Company bears to the total cost of constructing such viaduct.

(d) The Terminal Company shall maintain a Union Ticket Office, open at all reasonable hours for the sale of railroad tickets of all the railroad companies now operating in and out of the Union Station located in Kansas City, Missouri, that shall agree to be bound by this paragraph as provided in Section 15 hereof, and for the sale of sleeping car tickets on said lines of railroad so long, in the case of each railroad, as that road operates sleeping cars or has a contract with the Pullman Company, which enables it to sell Pullman tickets at the said office. Said ticket office shall be located within such reasonable limits in the business district of Kansas City, Kansas, as the Board of Commissioners of Kansas City shall prescribe, and shall be operated so long as any of said lines of railroad maintain ticket offices, jointly or separately, in Kansas City, Missouri, at locations not in railway stations.

Section 10. (a) By the acceptance of this ordinance the Terminal Company agrees that the Passenger Station and the railroad tracks and other facilities affording entrance thereto and exit therefrom, including, if reasonably necessary, such of its main tracks as may from time to time be constructed and devoted to passenger traffic, shall be open to the use of all railroad companies using steam motive power which now operate or which may hereafter operate passenger trains into Kansas City, Missouri, or Kansas City, Kansas, upon reasonable terms to be agreed upon. If such company shall be unable to agree with the Terminal Company upon the compensation to be paid for the use of its said Passenger Station, and facilities connected therewith, and the railroad tracks affording entrance thereto and exit therefrom then either company may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in Wyandotte County, Kansas, (or elsewhere if both parties consent thereto) which court shall have power, subject to the right of appeal therefrom, to fix the fair and just compensation for such use and the terms and conditions under which the same may be enjoyed subject to the following conditions and limitations: 1st. No company shall be admitted to the use of the tracks provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 1 of this ordinance for passenger trains which do not use the said passenger station. 2nd. The court in fixing the terms and conditions under which such right may be enjoyed, shall require such security for the payment of the compensation fixed by the court, and shall make such provision as may be reasonable and just for the forfeiture of the right to use such Passenger Station and the tracks and facilities in connection therewith for the non-payment of the compensation provided, and also for non-compliance with the terms and conditions fixed by the court, as well as the reasonable rules and regulations put in force by the Terminal Company as in the next paragraph provided. The court, as a condition of such right by any such company, shall require such company to consent in writing to be bound by the provisions of paragraph first of this section, and also Sections 11 and 12 of this ordinance which latter consent shall be filed with the city. 3rd. The use of the Passenger Station and the facilities in connection therewith and tracks leading therote or therefrom by any such company admitted as provided in this section shall be subject to all reasonable rules and regulations put in force by the Terminal Company, and such rules and regulations, so far as practicable, shall be uniform and apply alike with regard to all railroads using said facilities. 4th. The terms fixed by the court shall be no more favorable than those enjoyed by the constituent lines of the Terminal Company then operating over the tracks. (b) During the pendency of any application provided for in this section, the company so desiring to use said Passenger Station and the tracks and facilities connected therewith for its passenger traffic, upon filling its written consent to be bound by Sections 11 and 12 hereof and upon filling sufficient bond in such sum and with such sureties as may be approved by the court, obligating itself to pay the reasonable amount due up to the time when a fair and just compensation shall have been finally determined, shall have an interlocutory order of court permitting it to use said Passenger Station and the tracks and facilities connected therewith without being delayed until such final decision, and such interlocutory order shall describe the point of connection with the tracks of the Terminal Company and the reasonable terms and conditions of the proposed temporary occupancy, and shall continue, subject to such modifications as to terms and conditions as may from time to time be made by the court, until the final determination of the case. Section 11. (a) The Terminal Company and the various lines accepting the provisions hereof agree: (1) That they will not subject Kansas City, Kansas, nor any person, company, firm, shipper or corporation therein to any unjust disadvantage in respect to switching service as compared with switching service in Kansas City, Missouri. (2) That they will not subject Kansas City, Kansas, nor any person, company, firm, shipper or corporation therein, to any higher switching charges than are assessed under similar circumstances in Kansas City, Missouri. (3) That so long as they maintain the practice of absorbing switching charges in whole or in part upon shipments to or from Kansas City, Missouri, they will under similar circumstances absorb to the same extent switching charges upon shipments to or from points in Kansas City, Kansas. (4) That in all cases where the line haul rate to or from Kansas City, Missouri, applies to and from freight sub-stations located in Kansas City, Missouri, the line haul rate to or from Kansas City, Kansas, shall apply to and from freight sub-stations in Kansas City, Kansas. Where the line haul rate does not apply to and from the freight sub-stations in Kansas City, Missouri, the same relation between the line haul rate and the rate t freight sub-stations in Kansas City, Kansas, may obtain as exists between the line haul rate and the rate to freight sub-stations in Kansas City, Missouri. (5) That they will not unjustly discriminate in favor of any interest east of the state line, to the injury of any shipper, enterprise or interest west of the state line. (b) The Kansas City Terminal Railway Company was by the City of Kansas City, Missouri, by ordinance approved July 7, 1909, granted certain rights and privileges in the City of Kansas City, Missouri. A copy of said ordinance is filed in the office of the City Clerk of Kansas City, Kansas, authenticated by the City Clerk of Kansas City, Missouri, and bearing thereon the signature of the President of the Terminal Company. Under the terms of Section 27 of s.s.l. grant by Kansas City, Missouri, the Terminal Company is in need of dead and the constitutive lines of the Terminal Company are obligated to accept an interest in the property of the Terminal Company upon the happening of certain contingencies therein set forth. Now, therefore, the Terminal Company and the various lines accepting the provisions hereof, agree: In event the provisions of Section 27 of said ordinance granted by Kansas City, Missouri, are ever enforced and that any line or lines are required to accept an interest in the property of the Terminal Company, that said line or lines so required to accept such interest in the property of the Terminal Company will, under similar circumstances— First, render upon the rails of the Terminal Company in Kansas City, Kansas, the same service with respect to switching upon the payment of the same charge as is made by it or them for such service in Kansas City, Missouri, and— Second, maintain the same relation between line haul rates to freight sub-stations in Kansas City, Kansas, as is maintained between line haul rates and rates to freight sub-stations in Kansas City, Missouri No railway company shall use any track of the Terminal Company in Kansas City, Kansas, unless such railroad Company shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this section. Any constituent railway company using the tracks of the Terminal Company in Kansas City, Kansas, which will wilfully fail, neglect or refuse to keep and observe the obligations of any portion of this ordinance binding upon it or any railway company which will wilfully use any of the tracks of the Terminal Company in Kansas City, Kansas, without first filing its written agreement to be bound by the provisions of Sections 11 and 12 hereof, as provided for in Section 15 hereof, shall forfeit to the City of Kansas City, Kansas, $100.00 per day for each day such violation or use shall continue Provided, however, that if any such failure to observe any obligation of this ordinance or any such use of any of said tracks by any constituent company shall be the result of an honest mistake of law or fact, then such constituent company shall not be subject to said penalty. Section 12. The Terminal Company agrees to construct, maintain and operate two freight sub-stations in Kansas City, Kansas, and to accept and deliver therocat less than car load freight over all constituent railroads that shall have filed their acceptance of this Section 12 as provided in Section 15 hereof. The Terminal Company agrees that the service at said freight sub-stations shall be equivalent to the service rendered by the Terminal Company at its freight sub-stations in Kansas City, Missouri, and shall be upon the same terms and conditions. The first freight station shall be located in the vicinity of Nineteenth Street and Kansas Avenue, and shall be constructed and in operation within one year after the acceptance of this ordinance, and the second freight station shall be located in the vicinity of Kansas Avenue and Adams Street, and shall be constructed and in operation on or before April 1, 1918. Provided, that any company which has filed its acceptance of this section, and which shall receive and deliver at shid freight sub-stations less than carload freight, shall not be required to maintain separate freight stations in that portion of Kansas City, Kansas, bounded by Central Avenue on the north, and the Kansas River on the south. Section 13. If the Terminal Company shall do or cause to be done any act or thing by this ordinance prohibited, or shall fail, refuse or neglect to do any act by this ordinance required, it shall forfeit all rights and privileges granted by this ordinance, and Kansas City shall have the right to proceed in the courts at any time to have said forfeiture decreed and enforced; provided such failure to comply with the conditions of this ordinance shall continue unrejected for sixty (60) days after written notice thereof from the Board of Commissioners of Kansas City, Kansas, which notice shall specify particularly the matter complained of. The parties agree that in any proceedings to enforce such forfeiture, the court before which the cause is pending in the first instance or on appeal, upon finding from the evidence the existence of ground for such forfeiture, may also make a finding from the evidence whether or not the doing of such prohibited act or thing, or such failure, refusal or neglect was wilful and without just cause; and if it shall find that the doing of such prohibited act or thing, or such failure, refusal or neglect was wilful or without just cause, and that it was not the result of an honest mistake of law or of fact as to its duty in the premises, a final judgment or decree of forfeiture or an affirmance of such decree of the lower court, may be immediately rendered, declaring said rights forfeited. If, on the other hand, the court does not find, as aforesaid, from the evidence, that the doing of such prohibited act or thing or such failure, refusal or neglect was wilful, and not the result of an honest mistake of law or of fact, as to the duty of the Terminal Company in the premises, or the result of an unavoidable accident, then the court may, in order that justice may be done to all parties, defer its judgment or decree of forfiture or the affirmance thereof, on such terms as may be just and reasonable, so as to give the Terminal Company a reasonable opportunity to do the thing required, or, in the case of the doing of a prohibited act or thing, to rectify the wrong done thereby; in which event, the court, whether of first instance or on appeal, may first enter its interlocutory order providing that a final judgment or decree of forfiture, or an affirmance thereof will be rendered unless the Terminal Company shall rectify said wrong and comply with the provisions of the ordinance in question within a reasonable time to be fixed in said order; and upon its further refusal or neglect so to do within the time specified, a final judgment or decree, or an affirmance of the decree of the lower court, shall be immediately rendered declaring rights forfelt. This section may be exhibited to any court including an appellate court, as a stipulation evidencing the agreement of the parties. The remedy provided for by this section shall be in addition to the other remedies provided for by this ordinance and by law. Section 14. Whenever herein, or by authority hereunder, there is fixed a time within which the Terminal Company shall do any act, if it be in any instance prevented from doing the same by reason of any act of the city, or by causes beyond its control which reasonable diligence could not have been against it then the time of such delay shall not be attained.

"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 human race. He has indeed produced a world idea that should be in every home and library in the civilized world. Because of the storm the What-soever club had to postpone their Backward party.

Sex the Key to the Bible Sex the Key to the Bible The World's Three Greatest Books By Sidney C. Tapp, PhRh "The Truth About the Bible," about five hundred pages, $2.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman" the six 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 driving line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the sex, that sex-lust was the original sin and cause of death. They are arresting the attitude of t, medical, scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the lives of the human race than any books ever written in the history of the world. They are dally 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.

An Old Citizen Passes Away HAD BEEN A CITIZEN OF THIS CITY 32 YEARS-A PATROL MAN 20 YEARS-ACTIVE IN POLITICS. Mr. Frank J. Jennings, of 34 Franklin avenue, one of the old and well-known citizens of this city, passed away Sunday morning, May 14th, at 4:30 a. m. at his home. Mr. Jennings had been a resident of this city for 32 years and was a carpenter by trade, but for nearly 20 years was one of the city's most reliable patrolmen. He was very active in politics up to a few years ago. When all colored officers were taken from the city payroll Mr. Jennings started the first colored picture house in the city, it being at M. & O. Hall, for several years. Mr. Jennings was not an old man, as he was only 59 years of age at the time of his death, but since the accidental death of his youngest son who was killed last August by a train on the dannibal bridge and who was the pride of his heart it was noticed in a short time of his failing health. He had gathered around him several pieces of real estate, and left his widowed wife a comfortable and pleasant home. He leaves a dutiful and faithful wife, two daughters, Mrs. May Jones and Mrs. Amanda Emory of this city and two boys, Frank Jr., and J. B., both of the home. His aged father still lives at the old homestead in Mississippi. He is 84 years of age. There are four sisters and two brothers all living in their native state except one sister who resides in Kansas City, Mo. Th funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the First Baptist church of which he was a member, Dr. Bowren, the pastor, officiating. A large concourse of citizens attended and paid their last respects to this well known citizen. Many fine floral designs were about the casket. Interment was made in the family lot at Quindaro cemetery. The widow, family and relatives have the sympathy of friends, including The Advocate. GIVE PARTY FOR PLAYMATES. Norene Edna, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L Crawford, of 1131 Everett gave on last Saturday from 2 to 5 in honor of her playmates a house party.
