Address to Graduates. Honorable Arthur Capper, governor of Kansas. In introducing Governor Capper, Professor H. T. Keeling, president of Western University, called him the "Man whom all Kansas loves" and spoke of him as to his true friendship and loyalty to Western University and its needs. The governor was in splendid tone and his message to the graduating class, was one of great encouragement, and said in his address to the graduates, "If I can be of any service to any member of this class at any time, I will only be too glad to help you." Commends Industrial Work Commends Industrial Work. Altho he has lived in this state for fifty years and declared he was proud of that fact, the governor regretted that he had never visited Quindaro before, especially in view of the reports that have reached him of the commendable work that is being accomplished at Western. The governor especially commended the industrial department of the university, asserting his belief in the benefit of practical education that will develop useful, self supporting citizens. Succeed Over Handicap. The graduates who had worked their way thru school also came in for a large share of praise from the governor, who complimented them on winning their goal in the face of that additional handicap. The governor told that his Kansas bringing up had instilled in him a democracy that stood for these principles, "true brotherhood and equal opportunity for all alike. Equal opportunity for the children of all the people to prepare themselves for life, to be of real service in the world, to make a fair living. The governor was frequently interrupted with applause from the two thousand or more who were present. The diplomas were presented to the members of the class of 1916, by President Kealing. Prizes and medals were awarded to the winners of various departments. The chorus under Prof. Jackson, and the band under Major N. Clark Smith, divided honors in entertaining their guests with real artists. Rev. M. I. Warfield, pastor of the C/ M. E. Church at the corner of Eighth and Oakland, preached the communion sermon at the First A. M. E. Church Sunday at 3 p. m. Dr. H. T. Kealing and Mrs. Kealing, attended this week the commencement of his Alma Mater, a white University, in Iowa. Dr. Kealing delivered one of the principal addresses on the commencement program. VOL.2. One of the most beautiful weddings in recent years was that of Miss Jeanette Green, one of our teachers, and Rev Wayman Ward of Boulder, Col., Thursday, June 8, at 6 p. m., at the brides' home, 934, Washington boulevard, Kansas City, Kas. Five hundred guests of the elite of Kansas City and other cities, witnessed this society event. Mrs. Bertha Jackson, her sister, played Lohengrin's wedding march, and Rev Ward, father of the groom, who officiated, entered first, followed by the bridegroom and Dr. Wm. Hayden, the best man. Then came three bride maids, Miss Mabel Wilson, leading, holding a rosechain. Three more bridemaids led by Miss Viola Robinson, followed; they also holding a rosechain. Then came Miss Leena Green, the maid of honor, looking her sweetest in net over pink silk, pink satin slippers and a bouquet of pink roses. She was followed by little Dorglass Grant with the wedding ring in a calla lily, and little Zeda Jared, the flower girl, strewing roses for the bride. Following, leaning on her father's arm, came the bride, a vision of lovefulness in white charmeuse georgette crepe and white silk lace in train with a tulle veil five yards long, white satin slippers and a shower bouquet of white bridal roses, lilies of the valley and orange blossoms. Rev. Ward used the Episcopal service and the ceremony was very impressive which made them man and wife. Lady friends had decorated the house very prettily with asparagus, American beauty roses, ferns, and festoons of pink and white. A white wedding bell was hung above an arch over an improvised altar, on which the pastor stood, and on each side were tall candelabras of pink and white, with six lighted candles. The stair railing was covered with asparagus and ferns. After the marriage, the bridal party and guests were served the finest brick ice cream of pink and white, six or seven kinds of fine cake and excellent fruit punch in abundance. The bride's cake was very, very large. Miss Wella presided at the punch bowl, and Mrs. Daisy McKnight of Kansas City, Mo., and Miss E. Robinson, served the cakes. Mr. Earl Jackson and Miss T. Smothers and others received the guests. At 8:25 p. m., the bride donned her handsome traveling suit, and after tossing her bouquet, which was caught by Miss Ora Carter, she and her husband, and his father, took a large touring car for the depot, where they took a train to Denver Col., en route to Boulder, Col., their future home. Many expensive and beautiful presents were given them. Some of the most talked of were the chest of community silver by a club of friends of all occupations; a cut glass water set, by the teachers of Douglass School; a large hand painted vase from Baltimore, Md.; a silver vase from Washington, D. C.; and others too numerous to mention. This great society event will never be forgotten and all friends wish these popular young people long life and great prosperity. Among the many pretty costumes worn were the six brides maids, Misses Mabel Wilson, Viola Robinson, Neosha Venable, Ethyline Wilson, Effie Peniston and Cleo Crawford, all looking lovely in white and pink silks under net. Mrs. M. Green, the mother, wore green silk. Mrs. Stella Hayden, beautiful white silk embroidered chiffon over silk; Miss Crawford, green satin and net; Mrs. M. Claybourne, blue silk, with black lace; Miss S. Chim, drab satin; Mrs. M. C. Matthews, black satin; Mrs. K. Bradley, black lace and many pretty costumes which we could not get. MOTHER GRAVES LAID TO REST The funeral of the late Mrs. Elizra Graves, an old resident, who died Friday, June 9, was held at the Christian Church, Sunday at 2 p. m., the pastor officiating. Appropriate resolutions were well read by Prof. G. Buster, and many pretty floral offerings were received. Deceased was a worker for Jesus and a member of the Christian Church. She left three Miss Fern Perry, of Eudora, Kas., was the guest of Mrs. W. Cumming, of Garfield avenue, while attending the Baptist Convention here last week. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JUNE 16, 1916. A FINE TRIBUTE PAID TO THE LAST GREGG RESIDENT OF LAWRENCE, KANSAS, BY HIS WHITE NEIGHBOR —HENRY H. ASHER, MAY 30. Yesterday about the same time that the body of the late Alexander Marks was laid to rest another funeral procession followed to Oak Hill, the body of another old citizen of Lawrence, who in his humbler and lowlier way exemplified the same integrity and high standard of citizenship so often spoken of on the streets the past few days in referring to Mr. Marks. Gratton Gregg was an aged colored man, 73 years old, born in Missouri, who came to Lawrence in January, 1862, and has seen Lawrence grow from its beginning. During this time he served in the Union army as a member of Company H, 79th Colored Infantry until he was honorably discharged in 1865. For thirty years he was janitor of various schools of the city having charge at various times of the Lane, Park, Central, New York, Pincnkey. and Vermont Schools, and was thus employed by the Board of Education until his failing strength made further hard work impossible. It is somewhat hard to conceive how a man can sweep and dust and carry coal and build fires for a small wage for years while the little children he serves grow to manhood and womanhood and occupy positions of prominence and prosperity, while his condition in life remains unchanged, no matter how hard he strives, without losing some of his cheerfulness and kindness, but this was true of Gratton Greeg. The writer first knew him as a kindly old man who watched our play at recess and helped us on with our coats and rubbers at 4 o'clock, and later as a neighbor for years. He accumulated enough to have a pleasant home of his own, which was always neatly painted and kept in shape and was a credit to the neighborhood. He was a quiet, industrious man, attending to his own business, never in trouble, never in debt, honest and decent. He was a fine example to his own race as well as to many more favored perhaps than he in situation and fortune. Now that he is gone, it seems fitting to the writer that some mention of his life service be thus publicly made. HENRY H. ASHER. The deceased Mr. Gregg was an uncle of Prof. G. A. Gregg, associate editor of the Advocate. COLONEL SAUNDERS DIED MONDAY. Colonel William Henry Saunders, of 12:36 Ann avenue, died suddenly at his home Monday afternoon at seven minutes past two o'clock. Mr. Saunders had been alling for about four weeks, but was not confined to his bed and nothing serious was thought of until a short time before the death angel cames. The principle cause of his death was Bright's disease. Mr. Saunders was born and reared in this city and was about 45 years of age at the time of his demise. He saw service for a number of years with the Ninth U. S. Cavalry and was said to be among its best soldiers and received an honorable discharge of the highest class. He was a member of this famous cavalry during the Spanish-American war and received from his superiors words of praise for his bravery. He was a Mason and a member of Prudence lodge No. 6. He was also an active member of Enterprise Lodge No. 27, Knights of Pythias, an ex-captain of Mid-West company No. 2, of the uniform rank of K. P.s only being promoted a few months ago to colonel and his knowledge of military tactics with his several years' experience in the regular army made him a valuable and useful adjunct to this department. The funeral will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. from the Metropolitan Baptist church, Rev. D. A. Holmes, regimental chaplain, officiating. Mr. Saunders leaves a devoted wife and two boys, Robert, 8, and Lytle, 6 years old, and a nephew and niece in this city, his parents going on before some years ago. The family and relatives have the sluice sympathy of a host of friends including The Advocate. The K. P.s will have charge of the funeral. AND STILL—THE APPEAL. Says one, "Surely there are no more to whom the appeal is to be made." Well,—Yes. Yes, there is at least one more contingent, with whom we must reason. It is the gentlemen who are ready to admit all that we may say about the un-toward conditions and circumstances that surround us as a race. They admit that our position is undesirable, and that our condition is really bad, and all possible, should be done to better it. "But," they maintain, "it is not well for us to be led out of this awful and undesirable situation by certain persons." They sometimes put it this way, "We know that something is to be done, and ought to be done, and that very little has been done—and while we will admit that you who have been struggling to do something to relieve the galling conditions, are right in your convictions and are moving in the right direction and that all that you have done is good; yet, we believe that you will accomplish more if you will think the same thoughts, and do the same deeds for the self-same reasons and purposes that you have. heretofore—but, after we have said to you, 'Come Let's Get Together.'" Well, there may be magic in it, I confess, I do not know. However, I have not yet been able to see the reason in it. That is to say, if these gentlemen were once a part and parcel of those who had, and still have the right idea of things, and of the wrongs and outrages we suffer; and who were, and still are moving in the right direction to better such conditions. If, I say, all such persons were once a part of such a movement (and they surely were), and the movement is still on—the thing that puzzles me is, why these gentlemen would cease to be a part of such commendable movement, and get in position to say, "Let's Get Together." It does seem to me, that when we were in working order, and working with as it is said, "perfectly proper motives and manner," that we had saved effort and energy, and had been decidedly more powerful to produce effects against those who wrong us to have remained in such working order, and had said, "Let's STAY TOGETHER." There seems to be more reason in such a course than to get a part and say "Let's Get Together." You may call it the musings of a fool, but for all that you do, still it is clear to a man who reasons. That in the case where we have for our slogan, "LET'S STAY TOGETHER" we are imbued with the highest and best purpose, known to men in community assemblies. Nothing can excel it—it means all for each, and each for all. And any and every one can and does go forward, there can be NO CLASSES, and NO MASSES: All for EACH and EACH for ALL. And say what you will or may, 'tis the only way to get rid of the necessity of saying, "Let's Get Together." That statement seems to imply that you have gotten a part. (More a-non). Respectfully.

C., where he has been a justice of the supreme court of, the United States. Senator Falrbanks ves at Indianapolis, Indiana. Governor Hughes was born in Glens Falls, New York, April 11, 1862, His father was a Baptist minister who came from Monmouthshire, England, and was of Weleh descent. He was a boy at Newark, New Jersey, and ‘a3 @ young man settled in New York City. Governor Hughes graduated at Brown University, Providence, Rhode island, in 1881, and thereafter grad- -uated from Columbia University Law »School He was a very brilliant :student and is an exceptionally learned -scholur, one of the very best educated men in the public life of the United States. He was instructor in Greek at the Delhi Academy in New York State and a teacher of Jaw at Colum- bia Law School. He was married in 1888 to Antoinette, daughter of Walter S. Carter, a New York City lawyer. They have four children, Charles Evans Hughes Jr, Helen, Catherine, and Elizabeth Hughes. He was ad. mitted to the Bar when twenty-two years of age and practiced in New York City until he became Justice of the supreme court of the United States by the appointment of Presi: dent Taft, Governor Hughes first came inte Public notice about 1905, when ne served as counsel for a committee o} the legislature investigating the ga: companies of New York, and then a: counsel for a legislative committee in Yestigating the insurance business o New York. In these investigations he showed bimself a very shrewd, abl lawyer and a very honest and fear less man, His service in the investi gations attracted much attention anc the Republicans nominated him fo Bovernor of New York and he we twice elected, serving in 1907, 196: 1909 and 1910. He was appointed t the supreme court in 1910. He ha been a learned and honorable judge holding a high position on that grea tribunal. As governor of New York he se cured the passage of the public serv ice commission law. This was oppose by the railroads who seemed to cor trol -the legislature, and Gorerno Hughes took the stump and arouse Public opinion to such an extent tha the legislature toed the mark an passed a law. His administratio Was not controlled by politicians an he worked for the interests of th People rather than that of the orgar ization politicians and bosses. Hi term stamped him on the minds o “the people of New York as a perfect! honest man who was absolutely fea Tess in the discharge of his duty an couldn't be bossed by anybody. H Secured the passage of a.law doin: away with race track gambling i _New York state, against very bitte opposition, Governor Hughes is a: * American of the very best typ< * Starting in the world from a famil; that had no property, he-has accumu lated a reasonable competence, { raising a splendid family, ha a splendid law practice. He has shown himself the kind of a pub- le servant the people need. He lives at Glens Falls, New York, when at home, and is loved and respected as a genial, kindly gentleman by every- body in that city. He will make a ereat, able, scholarly and fearless president. Charles Warren Fairbanks was born on a farm near Unionville, Center, in Union County, Ohio, in May, 1852. Fairbanks graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan University (Deleware, 0.), in 1872, and was editor of the college paper in his senior year. For a time he was agent for a press service at Cleveland and Pittsburg. In 1874 he was admitted to the bar. Settling in Indianapolis he became a successful lawyer. He conceived and executed a plan to consolidate several small railroads in Indiana and make them more useful, From this he made a considerable fortune, not great, but enough for a reasonable man. He has shown business ability of a high class. Elected to the U. S. Senate from Indiana, he was among the leaders of that body. At St. Louis in 1896, he was chairman of the resolutions com- mittee in the National Republican Convention, In 1904 the ticket was Roosevelt and Fairbanks and he was elected vice-president, After 1908 he and his wife made a tour of the world, He has had a broad and com- prehensive experience that equips him for any position, and is a faithful and able and honest public servant. In 1908 he was a candidate for the Re- publican nomination for president and had a powerful following., This year he had a stronger support for prest- dent than any of Hughes’ opponents. Senator Fairbanks has always had the loyal support of Indiana and is univer. sally lked in that state. He never indulged in political tancor but con- ducts his efforts so that his rivals admire him. Fairbanks is a Methodist and a married man with a family of four sons. He lost his wife a few years ago and has been ving quietly in Indianapolls for the last five years, giving attention to his business. He is of old American stock, an ideal father, husband, citizen and senator. Falrbanks did not want to be vice- president. Hughes did not seek to be president, these men wefe nomi- nated by public opinion, both drafted into service because everything con- sidered they were the best men for the Republicans to nominate. There is no other instance in history lke It. We are not supporting greedy office seekers, always grabbing for places, We are behind two candidates who were nominated by the people be cause they were fit and worthy. These men are the honored suc: cessors in Republican leadership of the immortal Lincoln. The Republican party is the only political organiza. tion that has ever raised a hand for the colored man. It stands for equal rights to all. The platform adopted is American to the last period, full of devotion to principle and humaz rights. Year by year we struggle for ward toward the goal of the realiza tion of our highest hopes. Other: will judge us brothers by our sin cerity and loyalty to principle.

The Fourth of July, important and great as it is, is but the commemora tion of an event purely historical, an event destined to live in the memory of men so long as the republic en dures, an occasion that should be fos. tered, rejuvenated and made to thrill the hearts of the American people more than it does for patriotism needs 3 new birth of loyalty and devotion to country. The new comer to this country should be initiated by kindness into the American spirit. So the spirst back of and underlying the natal day of this republic is in some need ol revival, 3 ‘The 30th of May, which day we have recently celebrated is’devoted to the memory of the soldier dead and in the association of death occasion is taken to remembor the other loved ones who have parted this life. And the celebration of that day helps to soften the otherwise course and callous state of mind and heart that naturally developes amid the se- vere struggle for daily bread.

The product of the mine is gold arid from it developes all the material values known to man. But the greatest value is the child. The child and Its spirit Is the key that unlocks heaven’s door. For such is the kingdom of heaven and after years of the hardening process unless we become as a little child we shall in no wise enter the kingdom of heaven. So the child is the first upon which the universe, material and spiritual, revolves. From the child we look heavenword. All others in order to get the heavenly look must look child- ward. In the child are latent all the helpful or destructive forces which will be turned loose upon society. Which of these two it will be is determined largely by the influence of external forces. . These external forces are exerted by parents, teachers, the streets, edu- cational institutions, shows In fact ev- erything that comes in contact with the hody, mind and soul of the child.

Mr. Payne is a real Kansan, a quiet, polite agreeable man, and is the kind of a man who should be elected state treasurer.—Atchison Globe. Mr. Payne is one of the most capable men of the state and his experience in the treasurer's office makes him especially fitted for the place. He will fill the office with credit.— Abilene Reflector. Walter Payne, of Burlingame, candidate for state treasurer, was at the Byram today and made an excellent impression and according to the political wiseacres has done himself a lot of good in the first district. Atchison Champion. The editor of this paper is pleased to see the encouragement being given Mr. Payne's candidacy. He is a good fellow, a safe and sound, conservative business man, capable in every way of looking after the office to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. The Lincoln Republican. Walter Payne, who retires today as president of the Kansas Day Club, has had much to do with keeping together the now famous state wide Republican organization. Of the twenty-five meetings Payne has attended twenty-one. He has a personal acquaintance with almost every visitor in Topeka today. —Topeka State Journal. He has held many places of responsibility and has made good. There isn't a man in the state who knows more about the treasurer's office than he does, nor one who could run it better for the interests of the people. The Gazette is proud of him and so are the people of Douglas County, and they will show their confidence in him at the primaries.—Lawrence Gazette. Weltr L. Payne, who will preside as toastmaster at the Kansas Day Club dinner tonight, is one of the most active Republicans in the state and is making a vigorous race for state treasurer.—Topeka Daily Capital. He was for several years assistant treasurer under the late Mark Tulley, and in that capacity not only made a fine record but a lot of friends over the state who will be for him when the time comes to vote.-The Independence Evening Star. PLATFORM FOR SINCERE ONES X I will vote for no man who thinks his election is absolutely necessary to the public weal. I will vote for no man who takes pay for service to the country and then uses it for himself. I will vote for no man who does not love his fellow citizens for what they are really worth and not for what he can get out of them.—Ohio State Journal. FROM A HERMIT'S NOTEBOOK I used to understand the world so little, when I was in it. Now that I am out of it, I understand it better than to go back to it. I have no philosophy—I am a philosopher. I slept late this morning—the sun almost beat me up. My boat takes me around the world in 40 minutes.

JAMES TUCKER TREATED UNFAIR. Last week an article came out in one of the K. C., Mo., dallies stating that Mr. James Tucker who has had in operation for about a year at 1421 North Fifth street, a millinery store, had been arrested through his employer of the Missouri side for smuggling a $2,000 stock of the firms goods and placing them in his store. While Mr. Tucker was accused of misappropriating these goods without the knowledge and consent of this house it was false, as he shows receipts where he had bought and paid for goods, time after time from this firm in whose employ he had been for some three years. The other unfairness done to Mr. Tucker after his arrest they came and broke open his place of business and took all of his goods and his receipts and papers that showed where he had bought the goods from his employer with the exception of a few papers he had in his possession at the time of his arrest and now this firm claims they sold him nothing. It is hoped that Mr. Tucker will be able to prove to the court in some way even without his receipts which he says were taken out of his store by his employer, to satisfy the law of his innocence.

For years an American railroad used the three words for advertising its passenger service. A few days ago the railroad began its advertising campaign for summer travelers. In all its literature the word speed or an assertion its trains are fast cannot be found. American railroads have unthroned the "Speed King." The greatest war ever known among railroads, the speed war, will be abolished this year. Efforts to break records are a matter of history. Competing lines have mutually adopted a standard speed scale. The time of the fastest train in the world, the Twentieth Century Limited, running between New York and Chicago, has been increased two hours between the two extreme terminals. Scores of railroads once believed the fastest trains would haul the most travelers. But the public didn't consider it that way. Then a western railroad announced that it would place the finest train in the world on its road between Chicago and San Francisco and charge extra fare. "Extra fare for speed?" casually inquired the railroad world. "No. Extra fare for service," answered the railroad. That was the beginning. Today if one wishes to break speed records he must hire a special train.—Kansas City Star. AMERICAN ENGINES IN EUROPE United States Builders of Locomotives Will Be Kept Busy Supplying Demand for Them. And now comes the American locomotive, pushing its way where it has never been seen before—in Europe. Our iron-horse is now world-popular, as much in demand in China as in Canada, and going $678,615 worth in Cuba last year. It is only within the last fiscal year that the United States has sold its railroad locomotives to Europe to any extent. Save for one locomotive sent to Austria-Hungary in 1910 and another in 1911, and three sent to Spain in 1913, no exports of steam locomotives to the continent are revealed by the official statistics of the United States for the half decade ending June 30, 1914. In the twelve months following that date, however—a period practically coincident with the first year of the present European war—31 American-made locomotives were shipped to France, nine to Greece, ten to Serbia, and five to European Russia. Twenty steam locomotives were exported to Aslatic Russia in the same period. In 1913, our banner year, the world took 662, or $6,442,674 worth.

Pennsylvania County. Finally to Have Method of Transportation That Is Up to Date. Milford, the capital of Pike county, Pennsylvania, has subscribed the $25,000 required to insure the building of an electric railroad from Port Jervis. Milford has been patiently waiting for railroad communication with the outside world for nearly 70 years, and attempts to secure it have cost up to date nearly $1,000,000, with the railroad no nearer built than it was in the beginning. The Milford and Matamoras Railroad company was chartered by the Pennsylvania legislature in 1848. It was organized in 1854 upon the completion of the bridge across the Delaware at Port Jervis, which the New York & Erie Railroad company was obliged to construct for the prospective local railroad at a cost of $80,000. The local company slept until 1870, when it woke up and suspected that another company was about to build a railroad up the valley and across that bridge, and it made an attempt to begin work on its railroad. The company failed before more than a few hundred yards of grading was completed, and the state of Pennsylvania was mulcted in the sum of $64,000 to pay for the work the contractor was alleged to have done. HEAVIER AND HIGHER RAILS Lehigh Valley Orders Biggest Ever Made for General Service on American Steam Roads. The Lehigh Valley railroad has ordered 2,500 tons of rails that will weigh 136 pounds to the yard. According to the Railway Age Gazette, these will be the heaviest rails ever made for general service on a steam road in this country. They will be seven inches high and six and one-half inches wide at the base, which is an inch higher and an inch wider than the 110-pound rail now in general use. Until about two years ago rails that weighed 100 pounds to the yard were the heaviest in general use. A year ago the rail commission of the American Railway Engineering association submitted sections for 100, 110, 120, 130, and 140-pound rails, but did not recommend the last two sections, since it did not consider that they were then necessary. The Pennsylvania railroad adopted a standard 125-pound rail section a year ago, and has laid a large number of the new rails during the past season. Everywhere throughout the country the tendency is toward heavier rails. In 1897 only 20 per cent of all the rails produced in that year weighed 65 pounds a yard or more. By 1900 the percentage had risen to 25; by 1905 to 46; by 1910 to 58; and by 1914 to 72. Gets a Railroad; Wonders What to Do. John V. Malse, a laborer, is the possessor of a railroad and does not know what to do with it. He had a claim against a Gadsden (Ala.) street car company, went into the courts with it, secured a judgment for $108.56. Payment was not forthcoming, and Malse levied on the road. After he got possession of the property he did not know what to do with it, and lawyers are trying to find some means of satisfying the judgment and costs, keeping the property in the hands of the street car company with uninterrupted service and at the same time get a fee for themselves. "I never know what to do with my feet when I'm in a parlor," remarked the bashful young man on the sofa, as the conversation began to lag. "Didn't it ever occur to you," rejoined the matter-of-fact maid, as she struggled to suppress a yawn, "that you might be able to steer them toward home?" European Run Argentina Lines.
