New Attractions at Lincoln Electric Park Decoration Day May 30th KANSAS CITY Subscription $1.00 Per Annum Only Two Bishops Elected THE TWENTY-FIFTH QUADRENNIAL GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH CLOSED TUESDAY NOON, MAY 24TH. The twenty-fifth quadrennial session and centennial of the African Methodist Episcopal church closed its general conference doors Tuesday noon, May 24th in Mother Bethel on Sixth street below Pine, Philadelphia, Pa., which will not be open again until 1920. Only two bishops were elected, the Rev. I. N. Ross, an Ohio who was passtroing at, Ebenezer church, Baltimore, Md., and the Rev. William Wesley Beckett, of South Carolina, both of these bishops were elected on the third ballot. There were no changes made in the general officers while some had opposition it was of no avail. Bishop Ross is 61 and Bishop Beckett is 57 years of age. Both of these newly elected divines are strong and brainy men and they will add much strength and dignity to the bench of bishops. Prof. W. E. Guy, principal of Lincoln school, Leavenworth, Kas., addressed the Forum Sunday on "The Building of a Life." He said together with other things that the first fundamental lessons in one's life was to learn how to take your part in the world's work. He inspired and held his audience spell-bound. Many were the enthusiastic and laudatory comments. Solomon Thompson, Jr., played a Violin solo for the Forum Sunday. Prof. Harry Dillard is his instructor and we predict great things in the future for this young violinist. Mrs. Willa Dwiggins, vice president, in her gracious and dignified manner, presided over the Forum Sunday, May 21st. This young woman has proven marked executive ability. Come to the closing of the Forum Sunday, May 28th. An excellent program will be rendered and the executive committee is expecting to make this the banner Sunday of the year. DUNBAR SCHOOL HAS CLOSING EXERCISES. The closing exercises of Dunbar school at Sumner auditorium on Monday evening of this week was attended by a packed house. The program rendered by this school was par excellent in every part. The large chorus of boys and girls sang. "Beautiful Moonlight" as beautifully as the title indicates. The dance or probably better known "reel set," which was given in two parts, demonstrated the gracefulness as well as the healthfulness derived from these exercises. The leading educational schools of the country have found this exercise to be more helpful and healthful to the pupil, In making the body strong, active and nourishment for the brain than anything that ever has been introduced in the schools. Part two, "A Trip to Europe," in three scenes, showed in many respect much originality, and especially when the party was about two days out at sea, when the churning of the vessel commenced to start a reaction of the internal machinery of its passengers. This part was carried out so real the audience could not keep from sympathizing with their little entertainers Prof. Thompkins, who is principal of this school, and his splendid corps of teachers, are to be congratulated in the great work that has and is being done in the school which bears the name of the race's "Longfellow," Paul Laurence Dunbar. HIGHLAND BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. J. S. Thurston, pastor of the Highland Baptist church reports that the rally last Sunday for his new church building was a splendid success. He, and the members take pleasure in expressing through The Kannas City Advocate their gratitude to the many friends who helped to make this effort a success. And especially the following pastors and preachers who assisted him: Revs. W. A. Bowren, Geo. McNeal, Mack, Walker and Davis. Rev. Thurston is doing a great service for the Highland church and the members love and appreciate him as a gospel preacher. ```markdown ``` VOL. 2. FORUM NOTES. AN INTERESTING CAREER. Probably no Republican now running for office in Kansas has had a more familiar association with the founders and great leaders of the party than Col. Edward C. Little. In 1884 he was a member of the famous Blaine and Logan Flambeau club at Topeka, the first organization of the kind in the state. That year he was a delegate to the Republican county convention at Topeka which gave the present Republican United States Senator Charles Curtis his nomination for office as county attorney. In 1886 he was president of the Young Men's Republican club at Lawrence which assisted in electing Joe Bristow district clerk, the first office he ever had, and Bristow afterwards became United States Senator. In 1888 Little attended his first state convention, the great Republican convention which organized the Young Men's Republican League of Kansas. The thousand delegates unanimously elected Little as chairman, and his speech which was published all over the state, opened that great campaign in which a victory was won of 80,000 majority. That convention was addressed by John Brown, Jr., the son of old John Brown, and was the last Republican convention in Kansas any of the browns visited. Col. Little read law with John P. Usher who was secretary of the Interior in President Lincoln's cabinet, and learned at first hand the great principles of equality for all men. In 1890 he was Kansas National Committeeman for the Republican League of the United States and intimately associated with the National Chairman, Clarkson, and all the great leaders. In 1891 he was elected president of the Kansas Republican League and presided at its great state convention and introduced the celebrated John J. Ingalls to the last Republican state convention he addressed. At the convention he also introduced the silver tongued Senator J. K. Cubbison who made his maiden speech to a Republican state convention. In 1892 at the state convention he was elected one of the delegates at large to the National Republican convention, receiving more votes than any other candidate except Senator Ingalls and coming with 100 of receiving a unanimous vote. He was secretary of the delegation to the National Republican convention in 1892. In the caucus of the Harrison supporters who dominated the convention he was put forward by the Kansas delegates who favored President Harrison as their spokesman. He was appointed by President Harrison and confirmed by the Republican United States Senate as Diplomatic Agent and Consul General to Egypt with the rank of Minister President. President Cleveland appointed as his successor Hon. Fredric C. Penfield, now ambassador to Austria. In 1896 when the issue was between gold and silver and the Gold Democrats and Free Silver Republican parties split their parent organizations, Col. Little was an advocate of Free Silver and was recognized as the leader of the Free Silver Republicans in the state who were then about 70,000 strong. He was the Free Silver Republican candidate for United States Senator and was only defeated after two all night sessions of the caucus by a narrow margin. In 1898 he went to the Philippines as Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment that gave Kansas a world wide reputation for fighting, participating in Marlai, Guiguinto, San Fernando, the Rio Tulijuan, and many other battles. In 1904 he took the stump for the Republica ticket and his Salina speech was printed in ful by the Topeka Capital, and was conceded to be a highly important factor in the victory of that year. In 1910 he presided at our principal Republican rally in their old hall on Minnesota avenue in Kaussa City and introduced Governor Stubbs and Congressman Aleck Witchell. Mr. Mitchell being unable at the last moment to attend the joint debate arranged between him and the Democratic nominee for Congress, Hon. John Caldwell now minister to Persia, Mr. Ed Shore on behalf of the committee at the last moment requested Col. Little to supply his place which he did to the satisfaction of all Republicans. An acquaintance with Republicanism which takes a man back to drink at the fountain head of Lincoln's cabinet and enables him to preside at a state convention addressed by a son of John And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, MAY 26, 1916 Brown the Emancipator, certainly had a good start and the success the Republican party achieved locally in 1910 when Col. Little presided at its rallys indicates that the old fire is still burning. We deeply regret that since that year ye have had no local successes to chronicle and believe that with Col. Little as a standard bearer the party will have its ranks restored and renewed and will go forward again to a victory like that of 1888 with its 80,000 majority. Our First Fireman and Captian Mr.B. F. Robinson, whose cut appears in this column, will be readily recognized by hundreds of his friends and citizens. "Benny," as he is commonly called, has been in this city 42 years and for many of these years his identity in politics of the city and especially of the Second ward, has been one long success. Mr. Robinson was the first colored fireman selected when Hose House No. 5 was organized and was its first captain. Since retiring from the fire department he has had many important positions, such as sanitary sergeant of the city, deputy license inspector and at the present time holds a position as janitor at the county jail. PETER H. HARRIS "Benny" did not only look after his own interest in these years of success but says he was the means of securing many positions of various kinds of which many were well-paying positions for nearly a hundred persons who have been selected from what is known as the Autumn Leaf club, a club that was organized some years ago by Mr. Robinson as its leader. This club has been a great factor in politics in the Second ward and many a candidate has been made to jeoice when all seemed to be gone for him when the old Second ward came in pushing him across the line to victory. Mr. Robinson has a nice home at 2201 N. Third street where he and his family live happily. Two girls blessed their home, one being married. Mrs. Robinson has had much to do with her husband's success. There are but few men in the city who have had so long such a grip upon the confidence of his constituents, and remain in the saddle without serious friction than "Benny" Robinson. GRAND MASTER McNEAL VISIT. ING HIS LODGES. The Rev. Geo. McNeal, State Grand Master of Kansas of the U. B. Fs. and S. M. Ts., left Tuesday morning for a visit to a number of his lodges in the state. Tuesday he was in Topeka. Wednesday at Osage City, Thursday Wichita, Friday Hutchinson and Newton, and on Sunday will preach the annual sermon of the Cherokee lodges. Thursday, Decoration Day, he will deliver an address at Weir City, Wednesday at Pittsburg, Thursday Yale, Friday Crowburg, and will close his annual visit to these lodges Saturday, June 3d, at Ft. Scott. This fraternal organization is only about nine years old in this state and is rated as the second largest in number. Grand Master McNeal has been one of its greatest assets and under his administration has grown with rapid progress. The U. B. Fs. and S. M. Ts. of the local lodges will have their annual sermon Sunday afternoon at the First Baptist church. Rev. J. R. Ransom, pastor of the First A. M. E. church, will deliver the annual sermon. --- B. F. ROBINSON. Are You A Snitch SURELY THERE IS NONE SUCH AMONG US. Says a reader of The Advocate in great surprise, "Surely there are no professional men in our community who are so far from the right as to be guilty of such unmanly and Niggardy conduct toward his race as to draw his living in nickels and dimes from us and then refuse or fail to lend his support and patronage to the building and maintaining of the institutions that are owned and operated by Negroes and from whom Negroes draw a means of living?" "Surely there are none such among us." Well, it may, and does appear unreasonable, even monstrous and shameful. And yet, guess we will have to admit that it is true and "Tis pity, and pity 'Tis, 'Tis true." However, with all the fervency possible let us hope that such misguided persons, regardless of what prompts them so to be. For the reason that they are expert at doing the very thing of which they complain; and charge their "Other friends" with doing. They should readily see that in every word, act, deed and thought they are a living, moving contradiction; a false, and discord; that destroys the music of the onward march and uplift of the race. And let us pray that they will immediately get in tune with that onward march and help to maintain that harmony and united action that alone means real uplift—that gives the members of the race a chance in life. Another reader remarks, "You spoke of Snitch—what is that?" Snitch is a late term (not in Webster) coined to cover a late, low and unworthy practice that has grown up and into the practice of the law. And as defined by the late authorities: A snitch is a person engaged in the questionable practice of influencing business from one professional man to another. It has also been applied (perhaps not with so great propriety) to cover another practice of late origin which is condemned by the ethics of the profession. The practice of chasing and procuring business for a professional man. Hence in its strictest sense a snitch must be and is a very unscrupulous fellow, and what he does is altogether wrong and inexcusable. Therefore, for all other reasons heretofore given in all other cases he should not practice such and for the additional and stronger one, that it is positively wrong. And when practiced upon a member of his race in favor of his "Other friends" it is a race crime. And as to the second feature of the case, that of chasing and procuring business, which is growing into toleration, it is said. The all reasons heretofore given as to why we should combine our forces and resources aptly applies with greater force to support the assertion. "If practiced at all, then it should be done in favor of his own race." Why procure business from your people for your "Other friends," when you know that such "Other friends" are possessed of all the sinister qualities towards your people, that have been mentioned in previous articles in this series of appeals? And that, too, in the face of the fact that you know that such other friends "are not one whit more capable, and often not as capable, as some of your own race whom you know. Why not do this same business for your brothers in black when you know they are as capable of rendering as good and better results to those you have procured than your "Other friends" are inclined to and actually render? You answer, "It is a livelihood that I make of the practice." Let us concede it, and still the question presents itself: "Why not make a livelihood of it with your own race and take your matters procured to men of your own race upon the same terms And especially why not, when you know that in many instances where you have taken persons to your "Other friends" they have not treated those so carried altogether right, just and proper. And there are those who will read these lines who have been thus mistreated and could if they would bear Continued on Page 2 ADVOCATE HARRIS & EWANG CHIEF JUSTICE HUGHES.

The Second Baptist church of Argentine, Kes., will give another grand banquet June 15th at their church, Twenty-fourth street and Ruby avenue. We kindly ask all to attend this affair. The banquet given in April was a grand affair and we are going to make this bigger and better than ever. Owing to the condition of the church a great deal of expense was attached to getting ready for the first banquet and our profits are to be made on this one. Our basement that resembled a coal bin has been converted into a dining room and now we intend to complete the basement and make other improvements. We kindly and earnestly appeal to the Christian workers for Christ to fall in line and help build up this church. REV. J. S. BOWLES. Pastor. FRANK MIDDLETON, JR. Trustee and Mgr. of Banquet. MRS.

DR. RANSOM WILL FILL HIS PUL- PIT SUNDAY MORNING. Rev. Jones, pastor of Allen chapel at Quindaro, Kas., filled the pulpit at the First A. M. E. church last Sunday morning. His sermon was of a high spiritual character and many were heard to remark of its uplift. Rev. Patterson who has been in charge in the absence of the pastor for some three weeks, as he stated, to his congregation Sunday week ago that he would preach his farewell sermon Sunday night which he did and one of the largest Sunday evening audiences of many months were present, not on account of his previous announcement but to listen to another one of his excellent sermons. The pastor, Rev. J. R. Ransom, will fill his own pulpit Sunday morning from which he has been absent for three weeks attending General Conference. The congregation and friends will welcome their friend and pastor back to his own. While his congregation and the West would have rejoiced in seeing him elected to the episcopacy they also rejoice to have his presence and service at least another four years in Kansas. SCRUGGS RECEIVES APPOINTMENT. Mr. E. E. Scruggs, one of the Second ward well known Republicans and ward hustlers, was appointed last Saturday as sanitary Inspector of his ward.

FAKER KNEW HUMAN NATURE Story That Shows the Old Law of Psychology Is Still in Full Operation. Legend tells of a Hindu faker who seemed to have a working knowledge of practical psychology and made himself selling plain wicker baskets in the streets of Calcutta. The peculiar virtue of the baskets, he explained to the buyers, lay in the fa t that, if one filled his basket with ordinary pebbles, placed himself in a receptive attitude of mind, and stirred them with a stick for an hour, each and every pebble would be transmuted into a nugget of gold—provided the stirrer did not think of a hippopotamus while stirring. The baskets were sold, but the idea of a hippopotamus was so firmly-fixed in the minds of all the purchasers that not one of them ever had legitimate grounds on which to demand his money back. Knew He'd Seen Her Before. Three women met in a New York elevated station. "Well, I declare," they all chorused. The last arrival was asked if she, too, was bound for the shopping district, the destination of the other women. "No, indeed," she quickly replied. "I'm going to my husband's office. He just telephoned me he had left an important letter at home, and asked me to bring it to him. He's the most absent-minded man I ever met." "He isn't any worse than my husband," chimed in one of the other women. "Doctor is so forgetful at times that he frequently goes off without his medicine folio." "Well," spoke up the third woman, "my husband beats that. John, as you know, is a travelling man. He has been away a month this time. He came home the other day and patted me on the cheek and said, 'I believe I have seen you before, little girl, at some place, at some time. What is your name?' " Painting With Airbrushes Painting and varnishing of large surfaces is now being successfully accomplished by means of airbrushes, which send the liquid paint in a huge spray all over the object. At a big furniture factory in New York they place a chair upon a revolving platform under a galvanized iron hood, in the back of which is an electric fan drawing the air out into an exhaust flue, and in the top of which are electric lamps in front of reflectors. The painter stands with an object that looks like a pistol in his hand. This is the airbrush, which is attached to a tube leading from a tank in which the paint is under 70 pounds of pressure furnished by a dynamo and is kept constantly stirred. On pressing the trigger the paint is projected like a shower bath all over the chair. ELECTRIC of 19 oncessions Pool has been Add ds, Phenominal S street Parade. Madam T.

(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 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 pruduced, 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 prudent to enjoyment 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 thereto 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 respect 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 interlocutor 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 interlocutor 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 Securities Act of 1934, the Kansas City, Missouri, the Terminal Company is required to deed and the constituent 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 substitutions 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 threat 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 said freight substations 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 unrestricted 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 forfailure 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 forfailure, 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 said 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 guarded against, then the time of such delay must be made public. Section 14.1% This ordinance is enacted for the purpose of aiding the City of Kansas City, Kansas, in obtaining terminal, switch and depot facilities. Section 15.

In a recently published book, "Souvenirs de la Vie de Theatre," Pierre Barton tells of meeting him the night before the production of his "Rol 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 opera!'" Nothing Too Hot. Chabert, the fire king, who was a popular favorite in London many years ago, claimed to be able to swallow arsenic and other poisons with impunity. Visitors to his entertainment were requested to come provided with phosphorus, prussic acid, arsenic and oxalic acid, which he proceeded to consume before their eyes, taking an antidote afterward which was sup posed to neutralize their effects. Then, to show that he was as im pervious to heat as to poison, he would take a raw leg of lamb into an oven heated to 220 degrees and remain in side until the joint was cooked, when it was carved and handed around to the audience. The performance concluded by Chabert rubbing a red-hot shovel on his head and face and allowing anyone who wished to drop molten sealing wax on his tongue and hands. Sex the Key to the Bible "The Truth About the Bible," about five hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman," three 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 tueological worlds and people of all classes as no 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 answerable 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. Sillas 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. a Hair Grower The East India Hai The East India Hair Grower ```markdown ``` with a balm of a thousand flowers.

Cox of Cincinnati which occurred Saturday, May the 20th, the colored people of Ohio and more especially in Hamilton county, lost one of their most valuable and true friends. For many years Mr Cox was the Republican leader of Cincinnati and Hamilton county and while he was called Boss Cox, a name which has been annexed to all great leaders, there was never a truer and fairer man to his friends than he. When it came to dividing the spoils the colored man was always considered and in his many years of leadership many honored and high salaried positions have been held and never was a legislative ticket elected from that county, but what a colored representative was on it. Mr. Cox was quite wealthy, being connected with many big corporations. EDWARDSVILLE, KAS. A very large crowd attended the baptizing here last Sunday. Many from the two Kansas Citys and the neighboring towns were present. Rev. David Thomas preached an elegant sermon at the 11 o'clock service, after which the 12 candidates for baptism and the vast audience marched in a body to the pool about one-half mile from the church, where the immersion took place in the stream. Rev. Shannon, pastor of the church, buried the 12 candidates in the water in 25 minutes. Twelve or fifteen hundred stood on the banks and sang the songs of Zion while the ceremony of baptism was being carried out. The immense crowd was just as orderly as if it had occurred in the church. It was a beautiful sight to witness. After the ceremony was over the crowd retired to the church, where a large basket dinner awaited all. Covenant meeting was held at 3 p.m. It was a great day in Zion in Edwardsville. Mrs. W. Lewis of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Reed Fleming of Arlington, Kas., and Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Groves of Tulsa, Okla., are here visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Groves. The Edwardsville high school will have its commencement Thursday night, May 25th. The editor of The Advocate and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, spent last Sunday in our community and were the dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Webster. Miss Amanda Webster will entertain on Friday evening, May 26th the De la Campfire club at her home. Miss Webster will be assisted by Miss Maggie Moore. A.W. The Advocate is going in more colored homes of the city and county than all the other papers put together, published In Kansas City, Kansas. National Negro Business League OUR GUESTS. The National Negro Business League will meet here August 16th, 17th, and 18th. This will give the citizens of Greater Kansas City a great opportunity to show their hospitality and the famous Kansas City spirit. It is the earnest desire of the offices of the local league of Greater Kansas City that every race-loving man and woman will join us in this movement and do their duty in helping to entertain these distinguished guests in a way that will prove to them that the Kansas City Negroes are a unite when it comes to race progress and uplift and the many good things that have been said about us throughout the country are facts beyond a doubt. Some Things We Hope to Do. First: To have all our citizens fix up their homes and places of business so that they will present a pleasing appearance. This has already been done by many, but we want everybody to catch the step. Second: There are about 20 officers of the National Negro Business League men who are prominent in the business and financial world. It would be a mighty nice thing if some of our families who are able to volunteer to entertain one or two of them in their homes as guests for the three days. This has never been done in the other large cities where the National League has met, but we want to show them that the Kansas City spirit is different from other large cities. Third. Some of the special features of the entertainment of the National Business League and the thousands of visitors is an as follows: One after noon will be set aside for an automobile ride over our beautiful park and boulevard system which is second to none in the United States. Kansas City is heralded throughout the country for the par excellence of her women's clubs and social organizations who are doing so much for the social life and uplift of our people in Kansas City. We are going to ask these ladies to take charge of the visitors one afternoon and arrange open houses and receptions in various sections of the Negro districts so that in going from one place to another the visitors will have an opportunity to see our residence districts. Any suggestions or assistance will be highly appreciated by the league. All inquiries or suggestions should be directed to Prof. J. D. Bowser, 2400 Paseo. This article will be continued in this paper until we have acquainted the public with all of our arrangements. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE OF GREATER KANSAS CITY. INDEPENDENCE. MO.

This firm is keeping apace with the business and is equipped for getting out their work on the least possible notice. The latest piece of machinery installed in their plant was an automatic steam presser, which a cut of it is shown in this issue. This presser works in such a way that when the garments are under process of pressing that a pressure of hot steam penetrates the goods through and through thereby killing any germ that often secrets itself therein for its future victim and besides killing this venomous insect it removes all unsanitary infections and livers up the garment to a state of newness. The two young linen, Messrs J. A. Parker and W. E. Routtledge are to be congratulated in their progressive spirit in keeping abreast with the present business age.?
