AS MAINE WENT MONDAY, SO WILL THE NATION NOV. 7TH REPUBLICAN --- KANSAS CITY Subscription $1.00 Per Annum KANSAS CITY, KANSAS TO LOSE A NOBLE CITIZEN AND A MODEL FAMILY While Kansas City, Kansas, has many good and noble citizens there is no time when we can feel that their removal from us will not be felt, but in some instances certain associations, activities and beauty of character stretches its arms further into the community life than others. Some men are pinnacled as to what they do, others for what they are and the case of this citizen and family who are to leave us soon is one whose life and association have been deeper grounded into the hearts of the citizens and community at large than any one family who has ever moved away from our city. The principal subject of this sketch, Rev. Dr. G. E. Horsey who was born at Harford, Maryland in the same month of the year as many of our greatest men, February, 1869. He was one of a family of twelve of John and Miriam Horsey who were born (of free par REV. G. E. HORSEY, M. D., Who after fifteen years of successful practice of medicine in this city, with his family will leave next Tuesday for Great Falls, Montana, in the Puget Sound Conference, where he will start on his first pastorate. Any church community or city may feel highly honored in having such a citizen and Christian character in their community life. ents) at East Shore, Md. While the doctor was quite young they moved to Cnester, Pa., where they passed to the beyond some years ago. Our good friend and citizen still recognizes this place his home, as he has two sisters and kin folks living there. His early church training was that of a devout Christian mother and being of a large family and in meager circumstances his early education was limited. In 1891 he was called to preach the gospel and feeling he was not sufficiently equipped for this great work he set out to fortify himself that he might be better able to do the Master's work and in 1892 he went to Wilberforce, O., and entered Wilberforce university where he entered upon the preparatory course. Being self-supporting and without means, the great panic that struck the country at this period which lasted four years, he was compelled to leave school in his fourth year. He went to Chicago where he labored until 1897 when the idea came to his mind to study medicine and this same year he entered Mahary Medical college at Nashville, Tenn. He came out with the class of 1901, with a high mark, but no money and still to make it either for better or worse, love had got in its work during these four years and a few days after his graduation he was joined in wedlock to one of Nashville's city school teachers, Miss Jennie Wade, he coming on to Kansas City, Kansas, where he put out his shingle, Dr. G. E. Horsey, his wife following later. There were born to this union three children, Edward, Wendel and Miriam, the latter two dying while young. Edward who is now ready for the high school, is a bright and noble young boy with a gifted talent for music. The doctor was a success in Kansas City from the very beginning, both in profession and citizenship. In the spring of 1836 the reaper visited this happy home again and this time garnered the choicest grain of VOL. 3. the household, the wife mother and counsellor. In 1909, he married another school teacher, Miss Lillian Porter, of this city, one of the city's popular and most efficient instructors. One child, George, Jr., is the happy lot of this union, who is as bright as you will find them. Mrs. Horsey is an ideal woman, intellectual, sociable, and possesses plenty of common sense. One sees in this home a model family. While there was a little turning aside from the doctor's early ideas, he never lost sight of his calling back in Pennsylvania, although his medical skill has brought to him money, houses and lands. He says, Master, they are all yours and two years ago he re-entered on the course he set aside some 18 years ago back in Ohio, and received his diploma from the theological seminary at Western university last June. While his endless friends have the deepest regrets to see and have this splendid type of manhood and his excellent family leave our community and city we feel that his going is far greater good for the race and fallen humanity. The church, the community and the city will miss him, and especially the church where he has been so faithful as district steward for 10 years, and assistant pastor for many years of one of the largest congregations in the city. He leaves also a fine practice and a beautiful modern home at 828 Nebraska avenue. The church and citizens of Great Falls, Montana, are to be congratulated in being so fortunate in having sent to them such a Christian character. G. O. P. OPENING DRAWS OVERFLOW CROWD SOME FAIRBANKS POINTS. We do not hate the Democrats, any more than a man would hate his friend with the measles. We would hate the measles for having captured our friend and we hate the Democratic policies for having captured some of our friends four years ago. The Republican party with its protective tariff is the best employment agency in the world. The worst "pork barrel" in the history of the country is the $43,000,000 rivers and harbors appropriation. Twenty million dollars of it is for pure graft, designed to retain control of congressional districts. Americans need to protect themselves and their industries from the industrial war to be waged against them as seen as the soldiers return from the trenches in Europe. When Charles E. Hughes is president, a servile congress will not be forced to pass ill advised, ill considered class legislation. The power of the White House will be used honestly and conscientiously and after mature deliberation and the exercise of sound judgment. Four years ago we went astray. For many months we ate the bread of repentance. This republic should have a merchant marine second to none in the universe. The Republican party pledges it. The Republican meeting last evening at which the vice presidential nominee, Chas. W. Fairbanks, was the principal speaker, was one of the largest and most enthusiastic political gatherings that has been seen in Wyandotte county for many years. There were several hundred unable to gain admittance to the hall. Many Democrats were present and some applauded the concrete facts of this great stateman. Mr. Fairbanks has long been known to be a man who only talks on truths and never leaves his audience in doubt. David Carson, chairman of the county central committee, introduced Col. B. C. Little as chairman of the meeting, and in his introductory remarks said: It's with pleasure for me to introduce our new congressman of the Second district." When the chairman introduced Mr. Fairbanks an applause of five minutes rang out through the hall. A large number of women were present throughout the meeting, although many had to stand up. Hon. Charles Sessions of Topeka, and chairman of the state Republican committee, accompanied Mr. Fairbanks on his speaking tour in the state. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS Y, SO WILL TH KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 15, 1916. WESTERN UNIVERSITY STARTS WITH SPLENDIO SHOWING MANY VISITORS AND FRIENDS ATTEND OPENING—A SPLENDID PROGRAM RENDERED — FOUR NEW TEACHERS ADDED TO FACULTY. The twenty-first annual opening of Western University on Monday morning of this week marks another epoch in the history of this great school. With old students returning, carrying with them the spirit of college life, and many new ones, who were ready to be initiated into its ranks as a Western U., and four new faces in the faculty, made the opening session an auspicious one. President Kealing, the great educator of the west, in his usual happy mood and witty sayings, soon made all the new comers as well as the old students feel that they were in the hands of their friends. The president also expressed himself as being much elated at the splendid showing of both students and friends at the opening exercises. The very efficient faculty is graced this year with four new faces. Miss Elliott of Emporia, Kas., who will be in charge of voice culture; Miss Bertha, of Chicago, English; Miss Callaway of Lancaster O., librarian, and Major Gladden of North Carolina, commandant. Some of the many friends and visitors present were Dr. J. R. Ransom, vice president of the state normal board of trustees; Dr. W. H. Thomas, trustee of the University department; Dr. J. T. Smith, presiding elder of the Kansas City district, and Thomas Kennedy, editor of The Kansas City Advocate. rations of the Seminary ..... Rev. T. F. Jones Introduction of Teachers and Officers.

Secretary's Report Shows Increase of Membership The King Solomon Grand Lodge of Masons, holding its forty-ninth annual convocation at Ninth street and Everett avenue, will close tomorrow night with the usual banquet, following installation of new officers. The banquet will be in Rainbow Rink. Fifth street and Armstrong avenue. The report of the grand secretary, C. L. Briggs of Atchison, shows an increase of members in the last year. The sessions are in charge of the Rev. Frank Wilson of Topeka, grand master, and Mrs. Alice Hyde of this city, grand matron, with an attendance of about 200. Rev. Prince of St. Joe, chairman of the Educational Board of the National Baptist Convention, preached at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple Sunday morning from I Corinthians, 15th chapter, 58th verse. "Be ye steadfast and unmovable." It was certainly an inspiration. The large audience showed their appreciation and gave him an after donation of $5. Rev. D E. Over preached at the Temple's at night on "Deliverance," from Judges 10:15. It was fine, and portrayed how if one sins he should pray for complete deliverance from all sins. Both ministers praised the magnificence of the church, also praised the people and pastor for their good work. PROGRAM. LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS MISS FREEMAN ON LYNCHING AT METROPOLITAN CHURCH. Great interest was shown last Friday night at the Metropolitan Baptist church, in the campaign for the National Association's Lynching Fund. Miss Elizabeth Freeman who has been touring the country urging colored people to donate toward this cause was greeted with a large audience. The whole meeting was an impressive one. There seemed to be but one idea and that was to give the people of Kansas City, Kansas, a chance to do their duty. Rev. G. E. Terry, pastor of the Christian church, gave the invocation, and without delay Miss Freeman was introduced. The reputation of the latter for being both an eloquent and sincere speaker as well as a pleasing one is well known by now, as she has been before many Negro audiences, in the past two months. But on this occasion she seemed to have an even better grasp of the situation. She showed that, by her acquaintance with our race she has gained some knowledge both of our powers and our weaknesses; and she did not fail to take advantage of these in making clear why we should support the backers of the Anti-Lynching Fund. The applause which followed her closing words was as sparks of electricity, and when the question was asked: "What are we going to do about this fund? Prof. A. J. Neely arose and by his enthusiastic speech started a dozen or more down the aisle. Within a few minutes fifty dollars were raised. This, together with twenty-five dollars previously voted by the Kansas City Branch, makes seventy-five dollars given to this fund by members and friends. The Kansas City, Kansas, branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has been very much alive to opportunities and many of its members are just now realizing its possibilities. They are now planning some work of a local character. The last quarterly meeting of the conference year was held at the First A. M. E. church last Sunday, J. T. Smith, D. D., presiding elder of the Kansas City district, in charge. Dr. Smith delivered a masterly discourse at the 11 o'clock service to a packed house of worshippers. Dr. W. H. Thomas of Allen Chapel, preached the communion sermon at 3 p. m. to the largest audience of the day. Ebenezer choir of Kansas City, Mo., furnished the music in the afternoon to the delight and appreciation of the large number present. Rev. Hubb, from the National Baptist convention, preached a strong and eloquent sermon at the evening service. Rev. J. R. Burrell of New Orleans. Rev. John Slaughter of Nashville, Rev. E. C. Cole of St. Louis and Rev. C. F. Wittenburg of S. C. visited and made short talks at the Metropolitan Temple. They were all delegates to the National Baptist Convention in Kansas City, Mo. We are glad that Mr. William Miller is better. * The Kansas City Railways * company this morning announced * that 25 of the 75 new "1200" * type cars under construction in * St. Louis will be delivered with * in ten days. Steps on them are * slightly lower than on the cars * of that type used in the city * now. The big "1200" types now * in use boast of the lowest steps * in the city. ADVOCATE FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. CHOIR CONTEST AT LINCOLN PARK CLOSES WITH GREAT SUCCESS — EBENEZER PULLS UNDER THE WIRE FIRST WITH FIRST A. M. E., K. C. K. A CLOSE SECOND—MRS. CORA EVANS EASY WINNER IN SOLO. The choir contest of a dozen church choirs of Missouri and Kansas, which was held at Lincoln Electric Park last week, with over $200 in cash prizes, was one of the greatest events that has ever been witnessed in this part of the country. This contest was gotten up by Ebenezer church of Kansas City, Mo., Rev. Dr. Williams, pastor. The most competent judges in the city were selected to decide on the musical training of the contesting choirs. The judges were three ladies (white), members of the Mozart club, one of the best musical organizations in Greater Kansas City. They were: Mdnus, J. B. Byrd, F. J Roff and F. J. Hoghland. Several of the choirs were so evenly balanced in their rating the judges called them back on Friday night to sing again. Every choir was excellent from a musical standpoint, but some were par excellent. The winners were Ebenezer Choir, Kansas City. Mo., 1st prize, $100; First A. M. E. Choir, Kansas City, Kas., 2nd prize, $50; Quindaro Choir, Kas., 3rd prize, $25; Argentine Choir, Kas., 4th prize, $15; West port choir, Mo., 5th prize, $10. Mrs. Cora Evans of the First A. M. E. Choir easily carried off the $10 prize as the best soloist. Other churches who entered the contest were Leavenworth, Kas., First Baptist church, Kansas City, Kas., Independence, Mo. The checks to the winners were given out by Dr. Williams on Tuesday night from the stage at the park. The fair this week, which closes Sunday night, will close the season of the best year of this great colored amusement organization. The fair is in full bloom and a showing of progress of the race can be seen on the grounds this week. Don't miss it. FOR USE OF THE UNION PACIFIC AND ROCK ISLAND. Mayor and Commissioners Will Require Rebuilding of Seventh Street Viaduct and a Car Line Down Seventh Street. President Corbett of the Terminal company has indicated that one of the new passenger stations is to be built near the Seventh street viaduct. The station is to take care of the traffic of the Union Pacific and Rock Island. Mayor Green, however, will insist on the Terminal company and the two roads rebuilding the Seventh street viaduct. The proposition of the construction of a new viaduct at Seventh street will be taken up at tonight's meeting of the city commissioners. Mayor Green said yesterday the need of a new viaduct is apparent and that all haste will be made in obtaining the consent of the railroads to construct one. Several railroad men are expected to attend tonight's meeting. If a new viaduct is constructed the Kansas City Railways company will be required to build a first class street car line on Seventh street. This proposition yesterday was discussed with Richard Higgins, the local representative of the company. He said the matter will be taken up with other officials of the company soon. The Neighborhood Bible Class had a good meeting at Mrs. Green's although there was a heavy rain. Mrs. B. Jackson played most of the beautiful songs and the service lasted till 8:30. The leader and some others have not missed a meeting. The next meeting will be at Mrs. J. H. Claybornel's, 950 Washington boulevard. Lesson, Acts 11th chapter. Come at 7 o'clock. NO.4 CONGRESSMAN TAGGARI SUGGESTS NEGROES BE MIGRATED TO MEXICO A circular letter that was sent out from Washington, D. C., under the date of September 1, 1916, to Democratic papers of the Second Congressional district of Kansas, signed "Joseph Taggart, Member of Congress," in speaking of our colored soldiers in part he said: "If Mexico was taken over by the United States it would meet his approval to have the colored people of this country to emigrate to Mexico as the southern clime is where they belong. Mr. Taggart's heart seems to be bleeding at this particular time for the black brother insoumuch as he would like to see every one of them either in Texas or Mexico or some other place besides in the Second district on November the 7th. Taggart has represented this district as a Democratic member of Congress for the past four years, and in no instance can it be found where he ever voted or defended any bill or measure, in defense of the rights of the Negro, and now he is not satisfied with his four years of opposition toward us but makes the proposition of separating us from our own country and fireside and place us on the Isle of Patmos. Mr. Taggart was able through the assistance of the president of getting one bill passed just at the close of this session by a tight squeeze which gave to the Indian cemetery here $10,000 for its maintenance and if the session had continued for another week it's problematical that a bill of his instructions would have been introduced for the United States to take in Mexico and the colored people emigrated to its dominion. But we are going to take Joe at his word where he says in one sentence of this circular letter, "Colored men be wise and think carefully." Yes, this injunction will be carried out to the letter on November the 7th. DR. RANSOM DELIVERS ANNUAL SERMON TO U. R. K. OF P. On last Sunday at 2 p. m. at Metropolitan Baptist Temple, the annual sermon of Mid-West Company No. 2 Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias, was delivered by J. R. Ransom, D.D., pastor of First A. M. E. church, and Grand Prelate of the Grand Jurisdiction of Kansas. The sermon was scholarly, as well as instructive, and those present were greatly benefited and lifted up with his message. The Knights of Friendship of the I. B. F.s of Kansas City, Mo., were the guests of honor, and made a fine display on the streets. Colonel Nell Range, of Missouri, gave a splendid ta'k on fraternal militarism. Visiting Sir Knights from Leavenworth were Captain C. H. Carroll, Sir Knights Robt. Holtins, Joe Williams and R. Williams. After the sermon a parade of some length lead by that splendid musical organization, Quindaro band, was given. THE BREAD QUESTION. The raise in bread this week from 5 to 7 cents is another war story, but we know of one baker who did not put his bread up and that is the Sugar Bowl at 720 Minnesota avenue. You see it at the same old price, 3 full 5c loaves for 10c and a 30 ounce leaf for 10c and it's not 24 to 36 hours old when you get it. There is no better bread baked in Greater Kansas City than at the Sugar Bowl. Miss Freeman made a fine address in describing the cowardice and unfairness of lynching. The Metropolitan Temple Friday night had a large crowd to hear her. Prof. Hodge presided and Prof. Neely led in the plea for money to suppress this vice. Fifty dollars was raised that night, which makes $75 given by the N. A. A. C. in K. C. K. Sieve of those seen at the National Convention at Convention Hall were: Mesdames A. Scruggs, F. Watson, Miner, S. Scales, M. Matthews, F. A. Calaway, A Grant, A. Oliger, M. Jackson, M. Jenkins, Calhoun, Missag C Henderson, V. Gerring, Judge L. F. Bradley and Mrs. S. T. Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Irishell, Attorney Jackson of Oklahoma and three others certainly sang a beautiful sextette at Convention Hall. It was sung so classically they were enclosed. HOW POLITICS HAVE BEEN PLAYED An erstwhile candidate said to one of those persons, who style themselves "Important," "I thought you were for me, and was surprised after the election, to find you were against me." The answer was, "Well, you did not 'See' ME and you know I am always for my friends." Let us look into the situation and learn. Who is "Me?" What is "See?" Who have you seen when you have seen "Me?" And what does "ME" do after he or she has been "seen?" (Some "ME's" are She's.) just that one and no more. And he does not remain that one, for he will 1. "ME," is the person you see, pose and be "seen" by any other statesman (?) of opposite party, who will produce the price. (2) What does "ME" mean by "See?" He means your paying his price in cash. (3) In number one we observed that you see only the person with whom you deal, when you "See" "ME," and that your glimpse of him is very poor and not at all exclusive in spite of your desire and impression that your sight was fully and wholly for your benefit. (4) What does "Me" do after you have "seen" him? He does nothing, absolutely Nothing for you. You have "seen" him, for the purpose of his 'seeing' others. But "ME" is blind in his other eye. He can "See" and be "seen" only on the side next you, (the statesman) and more still he is deaf, impervious and wholly without sensation on all sides except that next you. (He can work that side anyawy.) Your sad mistake lies in thinking "Me" can affect the members of the race as he does you—that is, make them believe his lies. Now then, these "MEs" are all well known by all sensible and respectable Negroes. And it is because they are thus known by the members of the race that such members generally, have neither respect for nor confidence in them. And it is the lack of these that makes it impossible for these "MEs" to do you any good were they even so inclined. Just one dose of the remedy will cure the community of this frightful malady and it is so simple and easy of application, to-wit: All of you would-be statesmen be stone blind and refuse to "See," and these "MEs" thereupon will cease posing to be "seen." Whatever is due us politically let it come to use in the proper channels as political recognition given to those who deserve it instead of trying to satisfy all political duty and obligations by "Seeing" a few "MEs" in such unmanly and improper way. Use a higher degree of statesmanship and look for and encourage men by treating with them as MEN, rather than to create and encourage this false and double-dealing species, who are minus all those qualities necessary to good citizens. You cannot make good citizens of men by whetting those traits of character that make adent thieves Both the "Mes" and those who "See" are to be condemned for the practice and if there are any degrees of guilt it is possible that the higher is with those who do the "seeing." There is no other remedy than that which has been given herein, and the rank and file of my people beg an application of it. Rather than the condemnation of the race, on account of the untoward acts and conduct of these self-styled "MEs," with thoughtless statesmen. Very Respt. Yours, I. F. BRADLEY. Mr. John H. Hultz, of 6331-2 Walker, and Mrs. A. T. Marr, of 612 New Jersey avenue, were married early last spring. Dr. D. A. Holmes read the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Hultz arc at home to their friends at 612 New Jersey avenue. Mrs. Cora Evans, who belongs to the K. C., K, A. M.

Mrs. Noland, of 344 Greeley, last Saturday. Mother Fielding is of the Catholic church and travels extensively. Mrs. Ora Locke of St. Paul, Minn., and Colorado, is now on her way home. She was the guest of Mrs. Cora Boose, of 709 Oakland avenue. Mr. D. Radford of Emporia, Kas., is here visiting his daughter on 605 New sey avenue. WANTS TO FIGHT, BUT IN AMERICA James Bracy, Black, of Portsmouth, Doesn't Care for Foreign Legion. SCRAPS' 'AROUND WHOLELOT Isn't Afraid of the Germans, but Wants to Battle With Them at Home Where He Knows the Country. By FRED B. PITNEY. Paris.—"Yo all is Americans, isn't ye?" It was a very plaintive query, indeed, and I turned from the automobile in which I had ridden into La Vallbonne, the headquarters of the foreign legion, to see a small and very black negro in the uniform of the French army watching me anxiously. "Yes," I replied, "we are Americans. Are you?" "Yassuh," said the negro. "Je suis American. Parlez-vous Anglais? Ah comes from Po'tsmo'th, Virginia. Mah name is James Bracy, suh. James Bracy, B-r-a-c-y. Is yo' got dat name right? Perhaps, yo' wants to write it down?" James was not martial. He was feline. He was like a small kitten, playing around, begging to be scratched behind the ears. "How do you come to be here?" I asked. "Ah come in a grand ship to Bordeaux, wristilin' hosses," he replied, "an' when Ah got there, there wasn't no way to git back, so Ah 'listed." "How long ago was that?" "Eight months, suh." He Knows Norfolk. "I suppose you know Norfolk, James." "Norfolk?" exclaimed James, "Why, of co'se Ah knows Norfolk. Ah comes from Po'smo'th." "And Old Point Comfort?" "Suh?" "Old Point Comfort, Chamerblain's hotel, Fortress Monroe." "No, suh. Ah don't know none of dem." "But if you come from Portsmouth and know Norfolk, you must know Old Point. It's only eight miles away." "Aw-h," said James, "you means Hampton Roads. Why, yassuh, Ah knows Hampton Roads. Ah, sailed outtah Hampton Roads when Ah come heah." James crept a little closer, and became confidential. "Does yo' all reckon America is goln' to git into de wah?" he asked. "Do you want America to come in?" I queried. "Yassuh," he said eagerly. "Yassuh, Ah suo' does want America to come into dis heah wah." "Why?" Wants to Fight Germans. "Cause," he replied, "ev'ybody roun' heah says if America comes in we all Americans 'd be 'matically released an' could go home. An," he added, pleadingly, "Ah sho' would like to weah some clo'es again—some regular clo'es. Dese heah ain't clo'es, rightly speakin', an' Ah sho' would like to weah some clo'es again, suh." "But don't you want to fight the Germans, James?" I asked. "Yassuh, yassuh," he said. "Yassuh, Ah wants to fight de Germans. But Ah wants to fight 'em at home. Ah sho' wants to lick de Germans to a finish. But Ah wants to do it in de United States of America. Ahse eager to fight de Germans. Dey ain't nobody moh eager'n Ah am to fight 'em in Po'tsmo'th, Virginia, wheah Ah knows de country an' de people an' Ah can fight 'em right." "You must have had some experience already, James," I said. "You have been in the legion eight months; you must have done some scrapping." "Oh, yassuh," he replied. "Ah done right considahbul scrappin'." "What part of the front have you been to?" I asked. "Ah ain't been to de front," he said. "Theah's a couple of other fellahs an' me scraps aroun' heah a whole lot. Sometimes we wrasstles an' sometimes we scraps, but mostly we scraps." We had gone to Ia Vallbonne to see the American members of the foreign legion who were still at the depot, and I asked James if we would see him in the squad. "No, suh," he said,*"Ah ain't goin' to be in it." "Why not?" I asked. "Ah headd yo' all comin," he explained, "and Ah went to Sergeant Bouligny an' Ah says to him, Ah says, salutin' of co'se, 'sergeant,' Ah says, 'when de gemmuns comes to see de legion, Ahse ready, when yo' is. Yo' can_call on me,' Ah says. "But Sergeant Bouligny comes from New Orleans, an' he looked at me an' he says, 'We don't need you,' he says, an' he turned 'roun' an' walked away. Ah reckon it's 'cause Ahm' cullud, so Ah come ovah heah to ask yo if yo' all thinks Mistuh Wilson is gain' to do anything 'bout de wah so we all can go home." Train Rider No Respecter of Irons. Birdsbow, Pa.-Rudolph Michelott, a train rider arrested by an officer of the Reading railroad, managed to jump a freight train and escape in spite of the fact that both his hands were manacled in irons. THE KANSAS JATY ACVOCATE CAMERA AID TO PATRIOTISM Australian Troops Get Pictures of Homes to Urge Them On to Work Asked of Them. It was Green, the historian, who said that the cheap photographic portrait did much, very much, to link the empire together. The homesteader in Canada works to make a home for a girl of his heart he hopes will follow him and whose portrait he often looks at. The old mother in England, Ireland or Scotland gazes on the picture of her boy in British Columbia—and he is not so far away after all. Wise people in Melbourne, Australia, know the power of sentiment, and they are letting the photograph aid patriotism. Placed conspicuously-in all the post offices of the commonwealth, posters advertising the new snapshots from the Home league explain an enterprising plan for linking home and trenches. Amateur photographers may enroll in the league and take photographs of the relatives and homes of soldiers on actual service, with the object of sending the pictures to the men in the trenches. Here are incentives, if any are needed to win out and get back home. Steppedinuomates. Some jaw-twister, eh? Never mind trying to pronounce the thing, just call it "boo," or "x," and save time as well as patience. It relates to a disease recognized by osteopaths and caused by high street car steps. Awful name for a thing so simple, eh? One might be pardoned, in view of such a name for the alliment, in thinking that it meant the whole dinghusted works had been scrambled like so many eggs. Dr. F. G. Cluctt of Sloux City, Ia., told the state osteopaths about it during their convention the other day, explaining that the disease, steppedinuomates, is a general nervous disorder and is spreading rapidly. The jar on alighting from a high step causes a displacement of the innominate bone, and the trouble begins. Doctor Cluett said he had treated several patients recently, all living near car lines, and all afflicted in the same way. A car step should not be more than eight inches nigh, the height of the average step," said the doctor. "Anything higher causes a jar that may have serious consequences." "Daylight-Saving" Popular. The hands on all clocks on British railroads, post offices, newspaper offices, police stations and other places where business is conducted throughout the night were pushed forward at two o'clock one morning recently to three o'clock, in accordance with the daylight saving act. The new schedule will run until September 20, when clocks will be stopped for an hour. Factories, banks, stores, trains, theaters and restaurants will all conform to the new time schedule. The Scandinavian countries, France and Holland also have adopted the scheme of daylight-saving initiated by Germany, and several Canadian cities, including Halifax, have fallen into line. Send Drinkers to Front. On account of a diminution in the output of munitions, due to excessive drinking, the French minister of munitions has issued instructions that any munition workers found under the influence of alcohol shall be immediately sent to the fighting line. The explanation is given that the penalty is not in the nature of a punishment, but because the man in question is unlikely to experience the same temptations at the front. Power Lifeboats. Several of the larger vessels have power lifeboats which are equipped with wireless. These boats can be used either to search for help or to tow oared boats at sea. Mrs. A. B. Cone, of Leavenworth, Kas., was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams of Tenth street, last Sunday. The Five Baptist Churches' carnival netted about $1,200.

NEW BATTLESHIP IS EQUAL TO TWO Pennsylvania Could Demolish Vera Cruz From 16 Miles Out at Sea. HAS PICKED CREW OF 900 Navy Men Say She Could Do More Damage.Than Any Other Two Ships—Burns Oil and Has Fourteen-Inch Guns. Norfolk, Va.—While the United States is making active preparations to get the navy ready for possible service in Mexico there is unusual activity on board the battleship Pennsylvania, the latest and what naval men say is the most powerful ship in the American navy. This big ship, but recently commissioned, has never seen any service. Her big guns have never been fired, and her hull has only once ventured outside the Virginia capes, and that when she was on her speed trial runs. But she is ready for service, and navy men say she could do more damage than any other two ships in the navy with her big 14-inch guns. Her crew, too, is made up almost entirely of men from other ships in the navy. Unlike most of Uncle Sam's ships, the Pennsylvania has practically no "rookles," or recruits, among her crew of 900 men. They are all trained seamen, engineers, electricians, machinists and various other mechanics. Her gun crew is composed of gunners of long experience, most of them coming from the New Hampshire, the Louisiana and the Vermont. The latter ship sent 72 trained men to the Pennsylvania. Vermont, New Hampshire and Louisiana have been added to the reserve fleet, and their crews sent to the Pennsylvania and various other ships whose complements were not complete. Burns Oil Exclusively. The Pennsylvania burns oil exclusively, and in a single day she took on board 150,000 gallons, just one-third of the quantity she will need. when she goes on a cruise. She can fill her tanks in three hours, and only two men are required in the task. On coaling days it required nearly half of the crew to store the fuel in the bunkers. It also meant a dirty ship after the task was completed. With the use of oil there is no dirt to clean up after the vessel completes taking on a fuel supply sufficient to last from ten days to six weeks. Navy men say the Pennsylvania would prove of finestable service in case of war with any nation. They say that American ships of deep draft cannot lay very close to Vera Cruz or other Mexican ports during a storm. The Mexican coast, they say, is cursed with what marine men term "northers"—a storm with a wind velocity often reaching 100 miles an hour. When these storms break warships are forced to go out to sea to escape danger of being driven ashore. At Vera Cruz, when one of these "northers" hits the coast, all warships go out to sea for 15 miles. Sometimes they are required to remain there for three or four days. The Pennsylvania, with her big guns, would be able to bombard Vera Cruz, if it became necessary, from 16 miles at sea. She could remain that far out and drop shells from her 14-inch guns right in the heart of Vera Cruz as easily as she could at a 1,000-yard range. The battleship Nevada, of the same type as the Pennsylvania, has been trying out her big guns off Tanglers sound, in Chesapeake bay, exploding big shells against the sunken hulk of the old battleship San Marcos, formerly the Texas, and the ram Katahdin, both of which were sunk by shell fire from ships of the Atlantic fleet. CROW ROOSTS IN A STORE "Jim" Dropped Into Basement of Candy Establishment, and Has Decided to Stay. Utica, N. Y.—John Laneve, manager of a confectionery store, has undertaken the task of bringing up a baby crow. "Jim," as the bird is called, was discovered by Mr. Laneve in his cellar. No one knows how the bird found his way to this cover, but evidently he had made up his mind to remain even before Mr. Laneve picked him up and prepared to make a home for the bird. On the first day after his capture, "Jim" was taken from the store and placed in a tree. He remained on the perch until he became hungry. Then he vacated and flew into the store, where he rested on a perch that had been erected for his convenience. There "Jim" sits for hours at a time and eyes the customers as they come and go. He tries to say "Hello" when visitors speak to him, but the attempt is a weak one, as it is only a "Caw," said crow fashion. City Hall Robbed of Beer Supply. Vineland, N. J.—While the police were searching for boy burglars who had robbed four stores and five residences and tried to smother an aged woman, some unknown person entered the city hall and stole nine cases of beer. The lock of the vault had been picked and the liquid refreshment removed. The beer had been confiscated in raids on spe. r-easles.

Home, East 4538 The Advocate Goes in More Colored Homes in Wyandotte than All Others Combined, Published in H. 5th and Oakland Ave Color Slavery One is not a little grieved when he is made to observe the subtle slavery that is creeping over some of our citizens. The white man is thinking too much about the colored man. The preposition "about" is used advisedly. If he were thinking OF the colored man there would be a great difference in the treatment accorded him. To think about is not to be in real possession of the facts. To think of is to know the data bearing on the subject considered. The slavery of color shows itself at almost every move during the labors of the day. If a man of color enters a street car their thoughts are about him. If he occupies a seat alone their tboughts are about him while they stand at attention by the side of his seat. If he enters a cafe, silence reigns, thoughts are about him. If he shows a desire to relieve himself of hunger, striking thoughts are about him and they become audible and demand that he take his hungry stomach outside—no thought, no care as to whether it ever again has a peristaltic action. Should he desire to have his mind stimulated by the best film scenes at the popular prices thoughts about him deprive him of the privilege. Should he desire to visit some of the church services ugly frowns, peculiar facial expressions, restless attitudes, reveal the fact that thoughts about him have supplanted the otherwise peaceful and devotional spirit. Christianity under such conditions has a hard battle for first place against THOUGHTS ABOUT HIM. One could go on and mention many similar instances. If they of the white race would only think of the man of color as a man, as one who is intensely human, who has a heart, whose every beat is dear to him, who feels, in fact, is in possession of the five senses which are endowments of all humanity and are in immediate touch or capable of being in touch with this glorious world that God has created for that purpose, who builds himself a home and loves it—Why continue? One feels like the apostle Paul when he was called upon to give his record when he said, "I speak as a fool" so unnecessary is it to prove the humanity of the man of color. THINK OF HIM AS A MAN. If he is poor, think of him as a man who needs help. If he is not exerting his energy in the direction of good citizenship, think of him as a man that needs instruction. If his home is not sanitary, think of him as a man who needs a friendly visitor. If he is living in a shack when he has money to pay for better surroundings, think of him as a man who only needs a square deal. If his children are ignorant and uncouth think of him as a man who needs a portion of the public funds in a ratio inverse to his condition. If he has criminal tendencies (and its mighty hard to suppress such tendencies when he is hedged about by so many unkind, ambition-crushing influences) think of him as one who needs friendly counsel and not the policeman's club. No man is responsible for his color. Men are not held responsible for things out of his power. Why stress on color. A MANS. A MAN. I have noticed that a white man who passed from life to death was of a darker color, than when living. The man of color is lighter in death. These United States are in sore need of emancipation from color slavery. How much of progress, how much of joy, will come into the lives of every American citizen when he emancipates himself from this knawing, nagging, stullifying, peace-breaking comfort-destroying, business-disturbing, soul-dwarfing, the love of Christ eliminating, God-disowning and denouncing color slavery. May God with his unfailing love help us in this emancipation that we may truly call Him Father and man our brother. Mrs. Ruth Collins, of 517 Nebraska avenue, gave a dinner in honor of Rev. G. E.
