AN ENJOY THE WILBERFORCE CLUB GIVES RECEPTION AND BANQUET IN HONOR OF W. S. SCARBOROUGH PRESIDENT OF WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY OF OHIO. AN ENJOYABLE OCCASION PRESIDENT SCARBOROUGH WAS IN HIS HAPPIEST MOOD, WITH SMILES AND WORDS OF CHEER. About forty members of the local Wilberforce club entertained President W. S. Scarborough with a very delightful supper at the Pasco Y. M. C. A. on Saturday night, October 7. The table was beautifully decorated with sprays of Golden Rod, which happily bears the color of Wilberforce University. The supper was distinctive for the friendly spirit which always characterizes all students of Wilberforce. Dr. T. C. Chapman, president of the Greater Kansas City Wilberforce club, made a very pleasing introduction for the enthusiastic remarks of Dr. Scarborough. Prof. G. N. Grisham made some very pertinent remarks as only such a scholar can. Miss Anna H. Jones, who was a classmate of President Scarborough at Oberlin, spoke of the early days as a teacher at Wilberforce. Prof. J. R. Lee, principal of Lincoln High school gave some very sensible advice as to how the former students of Wilberfore should show their love and appreciation for the dear old school Dr. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Allen Chapel, and a brother of Prof. Thomas at Wilberforce, showed in fine words what it meant to have an education for service to God and the race. Dr. Chapman then sprang in a happy manner the financial needs of the college, as outlined by President Scarborough. Those present then subscribed almost $200 for the purpose of assisting in raising a fund for the erection of a much needed dormitory at Wilberforce. After a rousing cheer and the singing of the college song, Dr. Scarborough was escorted to the lobby where more than a hundred and ninety of Kansas City's social and intellectual elite were gathered to meet him. Those present were Dr. and Mrs. T. C. Chapman, Prof. T. B. Steward, Rev. and Mrs. T. C. Davis, Prof. J. P. Foster, Miss Anna H. Jones, Prof. G. N. Grisham, Russell H. Jackson, Miss Bessie V. Morris, Mrs. S. J. Curry, Miss Clara Holland, Miss Viola Robinson, Miss Alberta Wells, Miss Sarah R. Callaway, Miss Mary E. Frye, Editor Thomas Kennedy and wife, Dr. W. H. Thomas, Mrs. Gertrude Jenkins and daughter, Margaret Prof. G. B. Buster, Miss Alice Grady, Mr. J. B. Manley, Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Starr, Mrs. Pearl Woodard-Noland, Mrs. Geneva Wiley-Phenix, Mrs. Laura S. Adams, Miss Margaret Golns. Prof. J. R. E. Lee, president, Inman E. Paige of Western Baptist college, Macon, Mo. It was very gratifying to the former students to see President Scarborough in his happiest mood with smiles and words of cheer and encouragement. DR. SCARBOROUGH AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY. The faculty and students enjoyed the visit of this distinguished educator. Prof. Scarborough's address was inspiring. He dealt with the idea of scholarship in its relation to life's problems. It was interesting to have our minds stimulated and helped by reference to the higher values of life. The deeper and more lasting values have as their basis thought—the product of the intellect. It will not be long before the educational movement which now goes toward the material will be beating back to real scholarship. President Scarborough of Wilberforce University stands for the highest and best in scholarship. Mrs. B. C. Scott, on Freeman, was called to Coffeyville to attend the funeral of her brother, Rev. Smith, and her nieces husband's, Attorney Fitzpatrick. It is said to be called to the funeral of two persons. Mesdames Tule and L. Rogers, missionaries, visited the Missouri State convention at St. Joseph this week. VOL. 3. GIVES RECEPTION AND F. W. S.

The children sang sweetly and the reader was encored on all her comical selections. Miss E. Neely rendered a classical piano solo and was encored. Mr. Griffith was also encored on his difficult piano solo. Mrs. Matthews was highly compli- mented on her poem on Missions composed as a memorial to the 25 women who consecrated themselves. Hon. Chas. Stewart, of Chicago, recited and Mrs. H. D. Scott was mistress of ceremonies. W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce University of Ohio, and conceived to be the most scholarly Negro of the race, and who stands on a par with the great educators of the country, regardless of creed or color, spoke at the Sumner high school Monday morning to the student body. Prof. J. B. Buster, the excellent and efficient teacher of history at Sumner is a product of this university. Dr. Van Lue, state missionary of the Baptist connection of Kansas filled the pulpit of Dr. Ransom's church Sunday morning. A large and appreciative audience was present. The Reverend was in attendance at the Baptist state convention which was in session last week. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, OCTOBER 13, 1916. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES WHO CARRY CARDS IN A REPUBLI-CAN PAPER. We wish to call the attention of our readers to the Republican candidates of Wyandotte county who are carrying their cards in The Advocate. Col. Ed C. Little, the candidate for congress for this district, if elected, (which he will be) will not vote with the party as our present Democratic Congressman, Mr. Taggart, has done, to segregate the colored employees at Washington, and other bills prohibiting colored men from entering the army. We feel safe in saying that Judge J. T. Sims will get the full support of all who believe in having an honest and efficient official probate judge. In Daniel (Bob) Maher for sheriff there is no man in Wyandotte who is better fitted for the office. A friend to everybody and everybody's friend. The Hon. Geo. R. Allen who will go to the legislature from the Eighth district is not a stranger and his brainy intellect in the lower house will be invaluable to better and give more economic legislation. The only woman candidate on the ticket is Miss Hallie M. Tucker, who will be elected county treasurer. Miss Tucker is conceded to be a woman of unusual ability and her exactness in her everyday business life makes her one of the most acceptable candidates running for this office. U. G. Gates, the present deputy register of deeds is without a doubt the best fitted man for this very important office. His experience in this office should be seriously considered as to his worth to its patrons. Our district judges should be men who have a clear, clean and keen conception of the law and in W. L. Winship where could you find a man who could dare to say, he as a lawyer, did not have all of these emoluments. Geo. H. Hazen, the candidate for county surveyor, is known to all parties as one of the best civil engineers in Wyandotte county and if there is any one thing you want right it is when you come to getting your farm line located. Mr. Hazen will be the next county surveyor. Judge W. H. McCamish who is filling out an unexpired term in Division Number 3 of the district court, is an able jurist and his interpretation of the law in all his decisions has been of the highest order. There is no judge on the bench. of the three divisions who demands more respect from the patrons of this court than Judge McCamish. All of these men are clean cut Republicans and the office which each ore seeks would be greatly honored with their presence. Look on the third page of this paper and make yourself acquainted with the names if you do not know them personally. The services last Sunday were largely attended at all of its meetings. The Sabbath school under the superintendency of Mr. Truman is growing and a greater interest seems to be the spirit of the teachers. Rev. Van Lieu, state Baptist missionary and who was in attendance at their state convention here, filled the pulpit at the morning service with a spiritual message. The pulpit in the evening was filled by another Baptist divine, Dr. B. A. Smith, of Colorado Springs, who delivered a fine intellectual sermon. Dr. Ransom will fill his pulpit Sunday morning and his text will be "Wanted, a Man." The church will elect its trustees next Friday evening for the ensuing year. Mr. Editor: I want to commend to the intelligent reading public and the Baptist Brotherhoo in our state. The Kansas City, Kansas, Advocate for its fair and impartial write-up on the recent session of the State Baptist Convention of Kansas, which convened in this city at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple.

She has a clean stock of groceries and fresh meats and bakes fresh bread, pies and cakes every day. The many friends of Mrs. Crawford wish her abundant success in the commercial world. The A. M. E. choir had an election of officers Tuesday night which resulted as follows: Mrs. Dorsey Green, president; Mr. Iave, vice president; Mrs. Ella Ellice, secretary; Miss Theodosia Hamilton, assistant secretary; Mrs. Leota Miller, treasurer and Mrs. Lulu, Summers, organist. Mrs. Ida Lyons, the old president, who has been faithful and efficient, asked the members not to elect her that she might have a little rest. Messrs W. Covington and J. Brown left for Atchison Saturday. CLOSE OF THE STATE BAPTIST CONVENTION Ignorance In Pulpit-Dangerous Thing A LONG TAILED COAT AND A WHITE TIE DON'T MAKE A PREACHER. With Education within the Reach of All There's No Excuse for Ignorance in the Pulpit, Says Dr. Bowren—Church People Should Read and Make Use of the Local Papers—Close of the Baptist Convention. "Ignorance in the pulpit is a dangerous thing," declared the Rev. W. Bowren, D.D., of Kansas City, Kansas, in calling to order the Baptist convention yesterday morning in the Metropolitan Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. D. A. Holmes is pastor. "The young men who are being called to the ministry today, if they will just tarry sufficiently, they will find at the same time there is a call to prepare for the ministry. I remember when they used to say open your mouth and God would fill it, but He only would fill it with wind. You must fill your head in some good institution of learning and Goa will open your mouth." "Education is within the reach of every individual, with or without money, and if a man or woman is ignorant and illiterate only that individual is responsible. The thousands of people in the public schools today developing into men and women will demand ministers who can instruct them. A long tail coat, white tie will not make you a preacher, nor can a man put his hands behind his ear and go like a dying calf and be called a preacher. You must go to the people with a message. "The pulpit of today is calling for the best trained men. Men with concerted hearts and consecrated lives. The preacher is not only to teach the people to live down here but he must direct them the way to heaven. He is an important man in this world and in the world to come. He is called into the homes to settle many questions, then he must tell them the important events of today. That brings me to say that we should have the papers come to our homes, the local papers of the communities where you live, whether they be dailies, weeklies or montillies. You must become readers." The convention opened with a Bible Institute, conducted by the Rev. Dr. T. L. Griffith, president of the Western Convention, who is a graduate from the University of Chicago. The Rev. Dr. D. A. Holmes, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, assured the delegates that the meeting of the convention in Kansas City, Kansas, had been helpful to the people. The convention visited the Sumner high school Friday, which to the young people was inspiring and helpful, especially the address delivered by President Inman E. Page of Western College. Dr. Holmes was highly commended by the convention for the great work accomplished by him. He came to Kansas' 1cty about 23 months ago to take charge of the Metropolitan Baptist church, which had a membership of 485 and worshiping in a dilapidated frame with foundation laid for a new church, which had been standing for some years. The membership has been increased to 803 and a beautiful new brick church stands on the corner of Washington' boulevard and Ninth street, a monument to the pastor and a credit to the city. This has all been done in two years. The building cost $40,000, and the present indebtedness is only $4,500. The people are loud in their praise of his work and the manner in which the convention has been entertained. The delegates slept at the homes of the members and all meals were served in the old church building. Excellent service has been rendered. The report of the general missionary. Rev. J. H. Van Leu of Wichita attracted much attention. He is one of the oldest missionaries in the Baptist church from point of service and through his work has the confidence of the people of both races. "Too many of our churches are in a weak and sickly state," he said, "and they are neither hot nor cold. NO.8 They will not co-operate with others in helping to save men for the kingdom. They need the spirit of Christ Jesus to give them life. They need to do more work in soul saving. "We have a splendid missionary society in Kansas City, and all of the churches co-operate in its work. Mrs. Rogers is the city missionary and is doing good work. Our white brethren assist us in supporting this missionary. We need today such a work to be done in Wichita." The condition of work in the state was discussed by the missionary. He told of five churches in the state without pastors who were seeking to secure the best available men for the work. In speaking of the white Baptist convention of the state, he said: "The convention is still in full accord with us and is ever ready to cooperate with us. The secretary, Rev. J. T. Crawford, is always ready to give a helping hand and a word of encouragement." He reported that the work in hand had put in 52 weeks of actual service, sermons preached 200, institutions held 12, conventions attended 14, board meetings attended 14, ministers' and deacons' unions attended 16, women's home and foreign missions conventions 6, Sunday school conventions attended 7, B. Y. P. U. conventions 4, associations 6, children's bands 1. Mrs. Margaret Callaway Matthews read an original poem which she dedicated to the convention. She presented the president with a large bouquet of Killarney roses. Miss Dora E. Johnson of Norwalk, Ohio, who is doing social purity work among her people in this country in connection with the Y. W. C. A., was introduced and made a short talk. She was for some years engaged in school work, and her address was highly commended. She read selections from Dunbar. Last night Rev. T. L. Griffith preached the annual educational sermon, and Dr. W. R. Carter delivered an address. The following officers were elected: W A. Bowren, Kansas City, president; Rev. G. N. Jackson, Lawrence; D. A. Jefferse, Coffeyville; Wm. Jackson Olathe; J. W. Hays, Leavenworth, R. Cox, Lawrence; J. C. Rogers, Hutchinson, vice-presidents; J. E. Lewis, Wichita, recording secretary; D. B. Jackson, Kansas City, correspondence secretary; R. Cox, Salina, treasurer. WHY HUGHES SHOULD BE ELECTED. BECAUSE he stands for Protection, Prosperity, Preparedness and Patriotism. BECAUSE his speech of acceptance expresses his desire to co-operate with labor for its advantage, not to exploit it for his own. BECAUSE he will not repudiate the American flag in any land. BECAUSE as Governor of New York he has already proved that, he dared to do the right thing, and is prepared to further do and dare when called into a wider field. BECAUSE he will not burden us with war taxes in time of peace. BECAUSE he will protect this country against being flooded with cheap manufactures of Europe after the war. BECAUSE he is a firm friend of preparedness through political expediency. BECAUSE he is a red blooded American. His policy will be "America first, America efficient." BECAUSE he is the chosen head of a party which has long fathered all great constructive legislation which experience has proved to be wise and which has invariably been opposed by the Democratic party. BECAUSE he is a man of forward vision, of practicability and firmness, not a mere rhetorician and theorist. Rev. B. A. Smith, a Baptist divine of Colorado Springs, preached at the First A. M. E. church last Sunday evening. Dr. Smith is a strong and able pulpit orator. KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE. And Independent. Se ‘THOMAS KENNEDY, . Edltor and Prop, G. A. GREGG, ASSOCIATE EDITOR. MRS.

A very profitable meeting was held last Friday night in Allen Chapel. Mr. T. G. McCampbell, director of the board, informed the patrons of their duty to the school and board. Many took part in the discussion of various topics bearing upon the school question. Parents were urged to secure books for their children. The teachers cannot begin to do good work when the children have not books. Children cannot be dutiful and diligent without books. The growth of the community at large is held back by undeveloped children. NOW is the time to spend money on the child's education. The mind is forming each moment of the day and will become like its environment. GET BOOKS. GIVE THE CHILD A CHANCE. The times NOW and the times that the child will be an adult in demand thinkers. BILLS INTRODUCED BY DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS THAT ARE DISCRIMINATORY TO THE To repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution (House Joint Resolution 32, 33, 40, 107). To provide Jim Crow cars in the District of Columbia (House Resolution 13, Dec. 1915; H. R. 274, Dec. 6, 1916). To segregate clerks and employees of the white race from those of African descent in all of the executive departments of the United States government (House Resolution 13772, February 23, 1913, H. R. 5968, June 10, 1913, H. R. 11, December 6, 1915, H. R. 539, December 6, 1915, H. R. 5797, December 15, 1915. Mr. Taggart of Kansas City, Kansas, the Democratic Congressman of this district supported these bills and many others of like kind, which will be given in our next issue. These records are not hearsays, but are taken from the Congressional Record and the introduction of these measures shows more plainly than anything else the trend of Democratic sentiment toward the Negro and just what he may expect from future Democratic houses of Congress. J. G. OLIVER—UNDERTAKER. There has been but few business firms started in the city that has gone to the front, as rapidly as the undertaking firm of Mr. Oliver who has only been in business a few months. Mr. Oliver has had some of the finest turnouts and his method of taking care of his funerals has been of the highest order. Prof. John S. Cannon, the late associate with Mr. Oliver, will be a big asset to the business and it would not be surprising to see this firm in a moderate length of time become one of the largest in the Middle West. They have a fine parlor and show rooms at 415 Minnesota avenue, where calls are received night and day and they are prepared for auto or horse-drawn funerals. FULLER FLATS, WICHITA, KANS.

Fuller, is up to date in every respect with fine big airy rooms, with furnishings equal to the best, kept in perfect sanitary condition, hot and cold water and two fine sanitary bath rooms. There is no place in the state where one can be better taken care of than at Mrs. Fuller's. The Rev. G. L. Jordan, secretary of Foreign Missions of the National Baptist convention, will preach morning and evening at Dr. Bowren's church at the corner of Fifth and Nebraska avenue, Sunday. Dr. Jordan is a power in the pulpit and his message of the dark continent, Africa, where he has had personal experience, will be of much interest to those who hear him. Rev. W. M. Scott left Wednesday evening for Nicodemus where he will pastor the A. M. E. church this year. Rev. Scott is a faithful and sincere churchman and his many friends here wish for him a pleasant and successful year's work for the master. Mr. Howard Berry, the great tenor, whose parents live here, sang a beautiful solo at the close of the services at the First A. M. E. church Sunday evening. Mr. Berry is a member of this church.
