MR. GUYER BOLT THOSE WHO LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE SHOULD NOT THROW BRICKS. This is a time when the Republicans need every element. Since Mr. Guyer was overwhelmingly beaten for congress in 1911 the party has been all split to pieces, and every loyal Republican should be trying to get everybody back in the party. Mr. U. S. Guyer has made it the principal point of his campaign for congress that in 1896 Col. Little like 70,000 more Kansas Republicans was a Free Silver Republican. The opposition of these men in this district itself is enough to defeat Mr. Guyer if nominated. When he attacked their leader after twenty years it immediately became impossible to elect Guyer. What we must do is to get together. Mr. Guyer's misunderstanding of the duties of a leader was never more clearly demonstrated than by his stirring up the rows of twenty years ago. However, after all Mr. Guyer's criticism of Col. Little it turns out that U. S. Guyer was a bolter himself before Little was. The Gazette Globe charges and Mr. Guyer's paper, the Kansan, admits that in 1892 U. S. Guyer bolted General Harrison, the Republican nominee for President, and the whole ticket. They admit that he bolted in other years and it becomes apparent that for a number of years he was a Third party man. He is subject to the very criticism he advanced against Col. Little. What on earth the man was thinking about in precipitating such an issue we can't conceive. Evidently he thought he could get through the campaign and nobody would learn of his bolt, but people who live in glass houses should never throw stones. We are not interested so much in what happened twenty years ago or even twenty-four years ago when Guyer bolted. Pretty much everybody has bolted some time in these days. As a matter of fact Col. Little is better equipped for congress than Mr. Guyer and would make a better congressman. Mr. Guyer ran for congress in 1911 and polled 10,891 votes in this Second Congressional district. Colonel Little ran for the supreme court in 1914 and polled in this congressional district 33,864 votes. Everybody knows that the Colonel would make a much better candidate than Mr. Guyer. Instead of trying to stir up trouble for the nominee Mr. Guyer ought to get entirely out of the road and let a man who went to war and fought for his country have a fair test of the district.

Field Headquarters, Mex., June 26 (by wireless to Columbus, N. M.)—American negro troopers faced almost certain death at Carrizal with smiles in their eyes and slang on their lips and they burst into song once or twice as they fought their grim fight against odds. This was the story told by Capt. Lewis S. Morey when he arrived at field headquarters today. "For forty-five minutes the men fought, joking among themselves all the while, even tho they realized we had been trapped and had little chance of getting out alive," he said. Captain Morey said he had never seen such valor as was displayed by Capt. Charles T. Boyd in leading a handful of dismounted skirmishers thru the machine gun fire and into the ambush of death. He added that it was not until their ammunition was exhausted that the troop was finally cut to pieces and he told of the heroic death of Lieut. Henry R. Adair, of Portland, Ore., in an attempt to replenish it. Lieutenant Adair died fighting, his last words being: "Go on, sergeant," to a non-commissioned officer at his side, Captain Morey said. The two were on their way to the pack animals carrying the ammunition when they were intercepted near a small irrigation ditch by a detail of Mexicans. Lieutenant Adair had already been wounded and had lost his pistol in the previous fighting, but he had borrowed another and was fighting a hand to hand battle when he was killed. He fell backwards unconscious and was caught by the negro sergeant as he slid toward the ditch, which was deeply filled with water. The sergeant held Adair in his arms, his face above the water, until he died, the wounded officer reviving only long enough to whisper orders to leave him and finish the mission. Captain Morey reiterated that the Carranzistas opened fire from their machine gun trench. Captain Morey was brought here by troops of the Eleventh cavalry sent to rescue Carrizal survivors, after having led a handful of starving, panting troopers forty miles over a sunbaker desert to relief. The few crumbs of food they had were carried in their handkerchiefs and in their first aid kits, while what water they had was carried in a baking powder can which they had picked up on the roadside. AN OPEN LETTER. Kansas City, Kansas, An open letter to the citizenry of Kansas City, Kansas. My Dear Citizenry:— In this open letter it is my desire to appeal to your unbiased and fair judgment. Is it fair to those who have spent their lives in an honest struggle, to build up for themselves and those they represent, a good reputation, for honesty, veracity, truthfulness and industry, to be repudiated, or ignored and thus discouraged by the supposed best and most honored citizens? I met an honored citizen on a street of this city Tuesday past, who told me that he was going out to canvass the city in the interest of a movement represented by a gentleman with whom he has recently become acquainted. The writer has no objection to the amount that any person would contribute, nor to what enterprise they contribute thereto. But is it fair, to the man whom you have known for thirty years, and who is known throughout the state, by all classes, races, creeds and partisans, for his truthfulness, honesty and integrity; and with whom you have associated in an official way or otherwise for a decade or more, who represents a cause that is beneficial to all and turn him and his cause down for one untried and for those whom you know absolutely nothing about? One who has never cast a vote, and who is not a tax-payer, and who has recently come among us? I ask is it fair? Yet ,this is just what is happening every day in our city. These people who are discouraging us by this attitude are the ones who are criticising us for "not doing." "Consistency thou art a jewel." When will we practice what we preach? When will we encourage those who are laboring hard and studiously, seeking the best method to be a blessing to all. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JUNE 30, 1916. Special Election July 6th. VOTE NEXT THURSDAY ON FRANCHISE AND UNION DEPOT Every citizen of Kansas City, Kansas, who believes in its future progress and prosperity, will on next Thursday, July the 6th, go to the polls, if a voter and if not, see that those who are voters do, and cast their vote for this franchise and a new two hundred thousand dollar ($200,000) union depot. Kansas City, Kansas, electors are the only ones who can decide whether we will or will not have this much needed depot. It will not only be a great asset to our city but it will bring millions of dollars into the homes of our citizens every year. It will also give employment to scores of colored people in Kansas City, Kansas, thereby putting hundreds of dollars each month in the homes of our people. WILL BUILD UP TAX DUPLICATE In having this new terminal station with its large freight houses, with its many miles of trackage and rolling stock we will add millions of dollars to Wyandotte's tax duplicate which naturally will keep the rate of taxes lower in the city. The following ballot shows how you may vote to obtain this Terminal Railway Station for Kansas City, Kansas. To vote in favor of the question submitted upon this ballot, make a cross (X) mark in the square after the word "Yes"; to vote against the question, make a similar mark in the square after the word "No." Shall the following be adopted? An Ordinance relating to and granting to Kansas City Terminal Company certain rights and privileges for the construction, operation and maintenance of railroad tracks, in, along, over, under and across certain streets, alleys and public grounds in the city of Kansas City, Kansas, and fixing the terms and conditions of said grant. To vote in favor of the question submitted upon this ballot, make a cross (X) mark in the square after the word "Yes"; to vote against the question, make a similar mark in the square after the word "No." Shall the Board of Commissioners of the city of Kansas City, Kansas, pass an ordinance requiring the Kansas City Terminal Railway Company to construct in lieu of a union passenger station, two passenger stations? CITY And Independent My life has been a benefactor to white and black alike in this commonwealth for twenty-eight years. We are striving to establish a Day Nursery for children, with kindergarten department, an employment bureau for men and women, with reading rooms for both sexes. We desire to do this in order that we might be able to carry on social settlement work, thus taking our young people from the streets, the pool halls, dives, and obscene picture shows. How many of the people who complain against the above mentioned devices are assisting us in removing the cause and establishing better environment? I am as ever yours, J. R. RANSOM. 1930 North Sixth street, Kansas City, Kansas. Pastor First A. M. E. Church, located at Eighth and Nebraska, Kansas City, Kansas. MISS HALLIE M.

ADVOCATE ```markdown ``` A suggestion was made to the City Park Department this morning that the city acquire the property surrounding the old Quindaro ruins and convert it into a public park. While no one has before suggested it, and no consideration has ever before been given such a park project as this, it was at once received with favor. L. C. Ellis, engineer of the park department, said that undoubtedly at little expense one of the most attractive scenic parks could be built there. Not only would it be a park in the sense of a cool breathing place for the people, with all of the beauty of scenery afforded by the Missouri valley and the broad winding river thrown in, but it would be one of the most valued historical spots in the state of Kansas, marking as it would the Free State "port of entry" through which came in the early days many of the men who became the founders of the state of Kansas, its churches and edu- cational institutions. * Quindaro, in the early days, * was the most promising metropo- *lis on the Missouri river above * St. Louis, and the history of its * rise and fall is one of the most * interesting chapters in the annals * of the development of the ter- *ritory west of the Missouri river. * Mrs. Lena Jenkins entertained the following guests on Saturday afternoon at a dinner: Mr. Will Andreas, her brother from St. Louis, who was just passing through the town; Mrs. H. D. Scott, a sister who resides at 435 State avenue; mother, Mrs. Mary Persley and Miss Savennah Johnson, a graduate from Western University. The menu was very delicious. Mrs. L. Jenkins resides at 2507 N. Tremont avenue. Rev. Dr. G. E. Horsey preached the annual sermon of the Knights of Tabor at Warrensburg, Mo., last Sunday. BROTHERHOOD RALLY AT FIRST BAPTIST A SUCCESS.

Shackford dismissed the subject of Christian Democracy, and addressed the Brotherhood with the subject, Greater America or the Mexicans Carrizal War. Much information was gained. At this hour the president of Brotherhood, H. A. Geren, gave quiet and influential address on the subject: The Work and Alm of the Brotherhood. Selection by the choir. A silver offering was taken.

The Work of Building the Boulevard West From Eleventh Street to Twenty-fifth Street Is to Be Done This Year—Other Boulevards Talked of. The city park department announced this morning that practically all of the right of way has been secured for the extension of Washington boulevard from Eleventh street to Twenty-fifth street, and it is probable that the work of building the boulevard towards the western limits of the city will be pushed forward during the latter part of the year. The engineers' plans call for the extension of the boulevard along its present line due west from Eleventh street to Thirteenth street. From Thirteenth street to Eighteenth street through the Loose Brothers' tract, the boulevard will take a northwesterly course, striking Eighteenth street at about Everett avenue. From that point to Twenty-fifth street its course will be slightly to the southwest. Concerning the building of the cross town boulevard along the western part of the city it is said no definite movement has as yet been taken, further than that Twenty-second street has been declared a boulevard from Quindaro boulevard south into Klamm Park. People on the northern side of the city are again urging a boulevard from Parkwood south to Washington boulevard, either by way of Ninth, Tenth or Eleventh street, but no definite proposition has yet come up before the commissioners. There is a revival of the movement for the extension of Walnut street boulevard from its terminus at Oak Grove cemetery north to the bluff overlooking the Missouri river, and then in a northwesternly or westernly course to Parkwood, and even further on past Parkwood to Quindaro. This boulevard will undoubtedly be one of the most attractive scenic drives possible to be built in this country, and for several years it has been agitated, but so steps looking to the actual consummation of any plans have been put forth. WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE NORTHWESTERN FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS ON HER FIRST TRIP TO THE WEST AND GREATER KANSAS CITY SAID. When Mrs. J. Snowden-Porter left her home in Chicago the first part of June, she only knew the country west of St. Louis by correspondence and reputation. To say that she has been gratified with her trip is to express it mildly. The west has lived up to its reputation and more as relates to its people and scenic beauty, according to Mrs. Porter. "It is said that the stately Rockies are the gateway to the Alps of America and one need travel no further than the famous Manitou Springs and gaze in rapture on the snow capped Pike's Peak or climb to the top of the Seven Falls, or take a ride through Cheyenne Canyon, or the Garden of the Gods and behold the wonderful handiwork of God, to feel repaid many fold for the trip." Returning by way of Kansas City, Kas., and Mo., it is much worth while stopping in your twin sisters of the west. I would not destroy the scenic beauty by razing the hills which rise in such abundance to add to the wonderful contour of the Kansas Cities. The wonderful homes and the world famed hospitality of the people so well sustained should be the magnet, which will continue to draw the weary eyed from the plains of the middle-west. I found so many splendid capable women that I believe that the Northwestern Federation of C. W. C. cannot fail of its object in finding its field of activities coastward, and we look forward to the next meeting at Cheyenne, Wyo., with pleasurable anticipation. I wonder if our own Christians will keep a Union Bible Class running? Miss Horton, the inventor, was taken suddenly ill and had to be sent to her home in Tonganoxie. KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE.

In one of our prominent papers it was stated that two Negroes held up the jury in the Bush case; that one was a porter, the other an undertaker, and did not offer to mention the occupation of the third, stated that he voted the three days for conviction, while the other two held out for acquittal. It is well to learn and know that there are porters who are mentally capable of passing on any jury case or sitting in an active seat in a legislative hall. An undertaker in Kansas has the great state of Kansas as his authority to have the title. The third is a graduate of the State University of Kansas, and principal of one of the largest night schools of the state. In the article he received neither title nor occupation. The paper was wrong in stating that one was a reporter. Mr. McDonald is a flagman on the U. P. R. R. Mr. N. W. Thatcher is the undertaker, and Prof. J. P. King, a teacher in Sumner High school. The judge and attorneys on both sides were courteous to all parties concerned. We are glad to note this. Every juror has a right to his opinion and is respected in it. It is to be wondered whether the American people fully realize what patriotism is as shown by men of the Tenth cavalry. Isn't it patriotism of a high order when a man by his oath and allegiance, will commit his body, the welfare of his family, his life to the leadership of other men who in civil life will not grant them a man's chance, a square deal and in many places a square meal? If pure unadulterated patriotism is wanted look up the black man. His high grade patriotism causes him to forget the hardships of 1812, the cruelties of '61, and the humiliations of '98. We forget so often. O that someone else would remember in time of peace! This country is spending $169.44 a minute in its present experience in Mexico. If it would spend a like amount for food and ralment for the destitute people of Mexico, great joy, love and appreciation would be shown by them. Our young men could be at home, our mills could be running night and day, turning out the necessities of life for them. Mexico is more in need of kindness than bullets; more in need of bread than lead; more in need of Christian missionaries than soldiers. Bread and raiment would annex Mexico and her people to the U. S. quicker than lead and soldiers. The necessities of the body, internal and external, will bring peace. Soldiers can only hope for annihilation to bring peace. That will take some time. Respectfully --- Little a Baccali Hero Gerard Little, commissioner of finance, proved to be the hero of the hour yesterday in the game between the City Hall and the Submarines in the Union Club League.

Praises Roosevelt for Awakening Nation and Appealing for a United America. (International News Service.) New York, June 26.—Charles E. Hughes, Republican nominee for president, sent a telegram to O. K. Davis, secretary of the Progressive national committee tonight, welcoming the support of the Progressive party and arralgning the present administration for its weakness and incertitude. In making public the contents of the telegram, Mr. Hughes also gave out a letter he had written to Colonel Roosevelt, in which he declared that the nation was indebted to the colonel "for the quickening of the national spirit and for the demand for an out and out 100 per cent Americanism." The candidate told Colonel Roosevelt that he had sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat, and I want you to feel that I wish to have all the aid you are able and willing to give." The letter closed with an expression of a wish by Mr. Hughes to see the colonel soon. The telegram to Secretary Davis was in response to a telegram from the secretary notifying Mr. Hughes taht the Progressives had indorsed him. Hughes and Roosevelt to Dine Together. (International News Service.) New York, June 27.—Mr. Charles F. Hughes and Col. Roosevelt will have dinner together at the Hotel Astor it was announced at the Hughes headquarters that the invitation had been extended to the colonel by Mr. Hughes and that it had been accepted. The meeting will make final steps of reconciliation between the chief leaders of the Progressive party and the Republicans. ATTORNEY HENDERSON TAKES IN LAW PARTNER. Messrs. D. E. Henderson and Guy J. Booker, attorneys, residing at 622 Troup avenue and 343 Greeley avenue, respectively, in this city, have formed a law firm doing business at suite 32 Stubbs Building under the firm name of Henderson & Booker. Mr. Henderson has practiced law in Kansas City, Kansas, for about twelve years, during which time he has become recognized as one of the most capable and trustworthy members of the Wyandotte County Bar. Mr. Booker, though just entering upon his career as a practitioner of law, is destined to rise rapidly in his chosen profession on account of his ample preparation and natural adaptation to the law. He is a graduate of the Kansas State Normal at Emporia, Kansas, class of 1913, and of the University of Kansas School of Law, class of 1916. His record in both schools was highly creditable, while his average made at the State Bar Examination held in Topeka, Kansas, on June 19, 20, and 21 was among the best averages made by the 81 competitors and applicants for permission to practice law. The firm's motto is "thoroughness and fair dealing," and its members will make a special effort to satisfy all who will be kind enough to intrust business into its hands.

NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE OUR GUEST Great interest has been shown the past week by the citizens of Kansas City in the coming of the NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Communication was sent to the pastors of all churches and the LOCAL LEAGUE feels very grateful for the interest that is being manifested by ministers of the two KANSAS CITIES. We just received word from Mrs. Booker T. Washington stating that she would be with us and that she wanted to be used by the women of Kansas City. Mr. Elliott of Muskogee, Okla., president of the Oklahoma State League writes that the live wire Business Men of Oklahoma will motor to Kansas City leaving Muskogee, Okemulgee and Tulsa Sunday, Aug. 13th and reaching Kansas City, Monday, August 14th. There will be thirty cars in the party carrying about 150 people. Mr. R. C. Houston of Ft.

The entries are coming in fine. We expect to have one hundred automobiles in line representing as many business enterprises, societies, women's clubs, etc., besides many other interesting features. The Business League Booster Buttons will be ready by July 1st. Every race loving citizen is expected to do his duty. These Booster Buttons will be given every one who subscribes to the entertainment fund so the visitors will know just who are helping to bear the expense of their entertainment.

He leaves a dutiful wife, one son and three daughters. Mr. Jones was 65 years of age at the time of his death. The funeral was held Wednesday at the Eighth Street Baptist church of which he was a faithful member. He was a Mason in good standing and was buried by his lodge. Interment was made at Woodlawn cemetery. The family have the sincere sympathy of The Advocate and community. LEW MILLER CANDIDATE FOR COMMISSIONER. Mr. Lew Miller announces his candidacy to the Republican voters of the 4th, 5th and 6th wards. Mr. Miller is a well known citizen of this county, having lived in it for more than 30 years, and being one of the big bridge contractors of Greater Kansas City and vicinity, makes him a well fitted and valuable man for this particular office, and if nominated and elected, would be a valuable man on the board of county commissioners. Miss Bessie Washburn, of New York, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Galnes, of Eleventh and Locust streets, Kansas City, Mo., for the past six weeks, was royally entertained Wednesday on the Kansas side, with a sight seeing tour in auto. The party wass Miss Washburn, guest of honor; Mrs. Edmunds, Mrs. Scruggs and Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Johnson. Mrs. Washburn was the guest of Mrs. T. J. Johnson, of 341 Oakland; while on the Kansas side. Mrs. Joanna Snowden-Porter, of Chicago, and president of the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's clubs was the guest of Mrs. I. F. Bradley of Haskell avenue this week. Mrs. Porter just closed last week a very successful state meeting at Wichita, Kansas. Probably the race have no women that is doing more in the way of bettering the condition of our women in the northwest than Mrs. Porter. The Linwood Art club meets at the Y. W. C. A., corner of Ninth and Nebraska, next Wednesday, July 5, 1916. All members are requested to be present. Important business is to be transacted. (Signed) MRS. MERIT, President The annual sermon of the juveniles of the U. B. F.s will be preached the 3rd Sunday in July, at the First Baptist Church. Grand Master McNeal will deliver the annual address. The Associate Editor was in Troy and Paola, Kas., last week, and gave talks at both of these places. Mr. Thomas Booker was in from Texas Monday. Happenings Rev. R. A. Adams, Evangelist, of 1016 Tauromee avenue, left last Saturday for Springfield, O., where he will hold a Tabernacle Union meeting for several weeks. Dr. Adams conducted revival meetings at North street A. M. E. Church, in the Ohio city last winter, with wonderful success, and all of the churches have gone together for a Union campaign. Six colored ladies were in the permanent organization of white leaders of the Neighborhood Bible Classes at the white Y. W. C. A., in Kansas City, Mo., this week. Among them were Mrs. Cavel, a leader from 2nd Baptist Church, and Mrs. M. C. Matthews, a leader from this side. All colored leaders were well treated by this class of about 200 Christian white people. The pastor and members of Metropolitan Church expect to enter their new Church Sunday, July 9th. The members and friends have done a good work. The Star had a picture of the Church in its Sunday edition. Dr. G. M. Gray sent $10 by Mr. T. Jackson to the Church, and its last ordinary collection was about $80. Prof. Reynolds, Prof. N. C. Smith, Mrs. Summers, Miss Douglass, Miss Smith and others have a musical studio at the A. M. E. Church. The white Baptist Mission Board has started a summer Bible School for children at the Metropolitan Church. There are many children attending. An Inter-denomination Summer School is being held for children at Pleasant Green Church. About twenty leading citizens have asked for the Bible Class to meet with them. ATTENTION VETERANS The Sons of Veterans and the Old Soldiers are requested to meet at the Metropolitan Baptist church Monday night, July 3rd, under command of Rev. D. A. Holmes. MAKES HIS THIRD ESCAPE Eugene Gilbert, French Aviator, Flees Swiss Camp Again—Gets to Italy. Paris.—For the third time Eugene Gilbert, the French aviator, has escaped from the camp in Switzerland where he was interned. The aviator, who made several aeroplane records before the outbreak of the war, was compelled by lack of gasoline to land on Swiss soil after making a raid on the Zeppelin factory at Friedrichshafen. He made his first attempt to escape soon after his internment and managed to reach Paris, but he was sent back when the Swiss authorities declared that he had not given them sufficient notice of his withdrawal of his promise not to attempt to escape. In February the aviator again tried to make his way out of Switzerland, but was arrested at Olten. According to the Petit Parisien, M. Gilbert has succeeded this time in making his way to Italy. PREACHES AND STICKS TYPE Pastor Installs Press and Will Divide Time Between Preaching and Printing. St. Louis.—Rev. W. F Kirkpatrick, the pastor of the Pentecostal church at Upper Alton, is going to divide his time between preaching and printing. He has installed a job press and fonts of type in the church building at College avenue and Washington street, and will alternate between setting type and preaching the Gospel. He thinks he will be able to do both acceptably, as he is a union printer as well as an ordained minister. The auditorium and the print shop are in adjoining rooms. The pastor will only have to step through the doorway to become the printer, and the printer will only have to step back through the same doorway to again become the pastor. MEAT RATION NOW NUMBERED Holders of Tickets Must Appear in Rotation in Order to Prevent Rioting. London.—In order to prevent rioting in front of butcher shops the commune of Griedenau, near Berlin, has decided to number meat tickets, according to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company quoting the Berliner Tageblatt. The holders of tickets will get their meat according to number at the butcher shops and those who do not appear at the specified time will not receive any. According to reports reaching the Exchange Telegraph company the supply of eggs in Berlin is so nearly exhausted that the price is $1.68 a dozen, or 14 cents each. Counterfelt Machine Costly. Counterteren Machine Costly. Depue, Ill.—Anton Sorchych has brought suit against Isaac Deutsch and Meyer Katz of West Frankfort, Ill. charging that they sold him a machine for $5,000 with which he could make $20 bills. Sorchych alleges he is the victim of a confidence game. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE GEO. R. ALLEN, CANDIDATE FOR REPRESENTATIVE. In another column is found the announcement of Geo. R. Allen for the Republican nomination in the Eighth Representative District. Mr. Allen has served the people of this city and county in former years at Topeka. He has always proved himself an earnest and conscientious friend of the working people and carefully looked after the welfare of the people of his district. No man in the State Legislature ever did better work for our Western University than did Mr. Allen. A large number of prominent business men and property owners both white and colored insisted that Mr. Allen be a candidate and his announcement is in response to their earnest request. A vote for him at the primaries is a vote in the interest of the small property owner and wage earner in this district. FOURTH OF JULY PICNIC.

Shively announces his candidacy for the office of Coroner of Wyandotte county. Dr. Shively is one of the leading physicians of Kansas City, Kas., and a Republican of the first water. He has been a resident of this city for 30 years or more, and has practiced his profession for 16 years. Dr. Shively was coroner of Wyandotte some years ago and it can be said to his credit and honor, it was conducted with that efficiency and satisfaction to his constituents to make him at this time a strong man in the coming primary. EARL R. GILBERT CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE CITY COURT. Lawyer Earl Gilbert, who is a candidate for judge of the north side city court, First district, is one of Wyandotte's well known and popular lawyers. Attorney Gilbert is a graduate of the Missouri law school and is one of the brilliant young lawyers of the Wyandotte bar. As to his Republicanism, he stands to the forefront as to loyalty to the party. He believes in a square deal to all, and if elected to this position of honor and justice, everybody who comes under this court can expect to get justice at all times, as to color or creed. Pleasant Green Baptist Church is to have a rally the 4th Sunday in July at which time a gold watch will be awarded to the one bringing in the most money. A GOOD WORK. GET YOVR PENCIL AND PAPER AND LET US FIGURE And still we appeal! In last week's issue, there was an invitation to all who have any complaint to make, to come forward and present it. And it is hoped that all such will be candid with themselves and their fellows, and come forward and speak right out in "The Meetin." This was to be an experience meeting, where we tell how we feel, and what we know. To those who have an undying reverence for "other friends" and such frightful indictments for Negroes engaged in certain lines of business and profession, I desire you to work this little problem and give the correct answer. Now don't say "I have not the time," or "I am busy," or "I can't." For I know you can, and that you have the time, and the example is simple, easy and plain, so I want you to work it. Now get your pencil and some paper to figure on, and I don't want you to stop until you get the answer either. Now. At a recent term of the district court of this county, before all three divisions of the court, there were presented and tried by the county attorney, seventeen cases. (Get that down.) No Negro (or as you would put it, no Nigger) lawyer appeared in any of these cases. (They were all defined by your other friends.) But there were quite a lot of Negroes in the cases, that is, they were defendants in the cases. The county attorney got SIXTEEN convictions, and one hung jury out of the SEVENTEEN cases, and did not loose any. Your "other friends" did the best they could. (Did you get that?) And there were seventeen cases tried, and one in which the county attorney did not get a conviction, but he did not lose that one. How many cases did "your other friends" WIN? "Is you got the answer? Huh?—Can't you get it? You kin git it if you try. Get it, did you?—I thought you could." Now, then; could a Negro, (Nigger) lawyer do less? Now be honest, my Christian friend—be honest with yourself once, if no more, and speak out, come on out in the paper, and say whether or not you are right or wrong In explanation of the situation we hear the following: "O, Negroes are no worse than other people, you do not find other people united along any line, and you should not expect it of Negroes." There is a strain of truth in your proposition, my brother. And the very object of this appeal, is to get you to see, and act upon this truth as follows, to-wit: 1. Negroes, including those engaged in business and professions, are men, no worse—but in general—equal to other men. 2. That when you say that the Negro is equal to others, you have said nothing that calls for boast. 3. There is absolutely no reason why you should see all possible good in others, and the sum of all bad in the Negro. 4. Every dictate of reason and common sense, forcibly appeals to you, and proclaims the weakness, the ignorance and the wrong of the course you pursue. Yes, my brother, the world today groans beneath the crushing load of injustice, out-rage and wrong, entailed by these "others," and staggers in a storm of blood-shed that is about to sweep the face of the earth; so that the civilization which has been the boast of such "others," now trembles as itotters to its fall. And yet still, you my brother, can see nothing but glory, greatness, and something to emulate, in such "others," while you see all that is unworthy, undesirable, and damnable in your brother, (likewise in yourself). Come now, let's stop that foolishness, and really act upon the principle, "That we are as other men." And let us respect ourselves as such. It ought to be clear that if we do not hang together, we will HANG apart. On with the charges; let us have them! (And yet.) I. F. BRADLEY. MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS, Society Editor. The Advocate has added this week another member to its staff in the person of Mrs. M. Callaway Matthews who occupies the position of society editor. Mrs. Matthews is a splendid writer and a highly cultured and refined woman. Her services to The Advocate and the general public will be greatly appreciated.

We will be glad to have them as our guests at luncheon, after which special guides will be provided to conduct the party through the plant, which requires one and one-half hours. As early as possible, at your convenience, kindly inform me what day would be most convenient for them to make the visit and approximately how many we may have the pleasure of expecting. Full particulars as to facilities for reaching the plant, etc., will be sent to such persons as you may designate. This invitation includes ladies accompanying delegates.

The State Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Immaculate and Queen Esther Courts of Kansas and Missouri jurisdiction convened at the Ebenezer Methodist Church, Kansas City, Mo., Sixteenth and Lydia, June 20, 21, 22. The following officers were elected for the next ensuing year: J. M. H. Smith, Grand Master; J. W.

Sister Rebeccah Moody, Sister Racheal Clark, Sister Elizabeth Robinson, and Sister Ruth Wells and also little Bessie Stevenson, from the little Gems No. 75, I. O. I. On Thursday night, June 22, we paid two death claims. $125 was paid to the Court No. 43, Kansas City, Mo., and little Bessie Stevenson's claim was paid to Mrs. Marini Pillars, which was $30.00. On Thursday, July 6th, a most important, Special Election will be held in Kansas City, Kansas, at which time its electors have the opportunity of deciding as to whether this city will have a new $200,000 union depot. Every citizen who has the right of franchise should avail themselves with their full voting strength, and go to their respective voting places and cast a ballot for this much needed depot. The Terminal railroad through our city commissioners are giving the voters this opportunity of having a large, handsome and convenient depot. So let us do our part by going to the polls on Thursday, July the 6th, and also see that our friends and neighbors do likewise. If you have to register, do it at once. The sheriff's race at the coming primary is going to be a pretty one, with Brad, Bert and Bob. Everyone concedes any one of these three would make a splendid sheriff, and anyone of these gentlemen who gets on the ticket will be elected this fall.
