Kansas City Advocate

REFUSES ALL RIGHTS AS AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP, USES DECEPTION ALONG ALL LINES OF FAIRNESS. President Wilson promised the colored people if elected he would treat them fairly and that they should not give the rights as American citizens but in three years has succeeded in undoing what the Republican party has been fifty years accomplishing for the advancement and recognition of the rights of the colored citizens. In his short time he has removed from the public service every Negro holding a position of trust and responsibility. He has segregated the colored civil service employees in the departments at Washington. By word and deed he has lent encouragement to the enamles of the race and fostered a racial prejudice greater than has ever been known in this country. He has submitted himself absolutely to the counsel of the vicious Southern Negro-batters, such as, Tillman, Vardaman, Heflin and Hardwick and his policy toward the Negro has, been instituted and controlled by their inerkent hatred. Mr. Wilson, is undoubtedly a man of education and the colored, people have looked to the educated people of the country for a square deal, yet we are confronted with this instance where theory has been kicked to death by a fact. There has never been a president who descended from his lofty position to retard the progress of a struggling race as Woodrow Wilson has done. Bills have been introduced by Democratic members of Congress looking to the establishment of separate street cars in Washington and the District of Columbia and our own Congressman, Mr. Taggart, of this city, was one who always fell in line with his brother Democrats' measures in securing the passage of these discriminating bills. In the face of all this Mr. Taggart and the Democratic party are asking the colored people for their votes and it is said that we still have a few left who are for sale in the Democratic bull pen. Our own city has a few of such caliber who are all ways on the market ready to sell their BIRTHRIGHT FOR A MESS OF POTTAGE. This class is known in every community as only chattels and are purchasable property every day in the year. They are not on record as being a factor in the uplift, of the race and good citizenship, but merely here to fill space. It goes without saying that colored people who have a drop of race pride, race spirit of equal citizenship, will repudiate Wilson and his associates at the polls even as he has repudiated them in their desires for fair and equal citizenship. Colored Soldiers Buried Unnoticed. When the white marines were killed at Vera Cruz the president went to Brooklyn to attend the funeral, and spoke with utmost feeling of the flag, of the country for which they had given their lives. When the colored troopers of the famous Tenth cavalry fighting against overwhelming odds, displaying heroism seldom equaled, died for the same flag and the 'country at Carrizal and the remains of mothers' sons were brought to Washington for interment at Arlington, the president was conspicuous by his absence. He was asleep in the White House and did not desire to be disturbed. Could any colored voter with a grain of manhood or womanhood be so untrue and deceptive to his race, family and children, that they are not worthy of being called human. Sham on the man or woman who will be a party to an act of assisting any party or man to a position of authority who are against the rights, freedom and happiness of his own home and fireside, for the paltry sum of a few shockles. It is a well known fact that every right the Negro now enjoys came through the Republican party, which party has not only given him these rights, but has helped to preserve them. COL. E. C. LITTLE. Republican candidate for Congress. Second district, soldier, lawyer and statesman. A man or national fame. A character unnished and unblessed. A man, of wonderful ability and his presence in Congress would be a tower of strength in helping to carry out the policies of a Republican president. Besides he would always be found supporting-measures that were for the advancement of the colored PETER H. people. He would not support legislation, as our Democratic Congressman, Mr. Taggart, has done in the past four years, segregation, peonage and jim crowism. Col. Little believes in americanism and that all of its citizens should have a fair and equal chance to make an honest living. Hundreds of Democrats who want to see fair play to all, will support this great big broad and brainy statesman. 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. Within several weeks it will be possible to enter the uptown offices of the railroads and buy a ticket from Kansas City, Kansas, to any point in the country. The office will be located near Sixth and Minnesota avenue. Mayor Green this morning was informed by W. M. Corbett, president of the Terminal Railway company, that he had applied to the different railroads to order their stock of tickets. This act is the result of a letter from Mayor Green October 16 in which Mr. Corbett was requested to have the railroads order tickets to be printed. The up-town offices will be opened in about three weeks the mayor said. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, OCTOBER 20, 1916 REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING—JUDGE SIMS MAKES TELLING SPEECH—MRS. MAHER ALSO SPEAKS. The Republican mass meeting which war held Tuesday night at the court house was an enthusiastic one. Propate Judge: John T. Sims as chairman made one of the most telling speeches that has been heard among any of the local candidates, in the few minutes of his address. He took up the tariff and showed the awful calamity this country would be in when the war closed if Wilson and his free trade policies were in control of our country's affairs. The judge showed where there would be millions of men who now are in the war would have their labor for sale at the close of the war which in his opinion would not be far in the distance and that this labor could be bought at your own price, and without protection to American industry this country would experience one of the most heart rendering panics known to a civilized people. Mrs. Daniel Maher, the only woman speaker of the evening, spoke in elegant tone on woman suffrage, and showed in clean cut facts, where President Wilson had really, refused to acknowledge that his own mother was a woman endowed with those attributes that he could recognize as being his equal. Mrs. Maher received much hearty applause during her talk. 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF ART CLUB Alpha Art club will celebrate its twentieth anniversary October 26, 27 and 28.

Bliss, Okla, Oct. 19.—Hourly the rattle of rifle fire is expected to announce a battle between the pursuers and six train bandits who last night robbed Santa Fe mail and express train No. 405 of $10,000 and killed one injured two others. The bandits escaped in a motor car and are being followed by a trainload of special officers and a posse of 100 armed men. The posses are closing on a densely wooded section in which the robbers are believed to have sought cover. They have been traced by the tracks of their motor car. If located, a desperate battle is expected to ensue. The robbers, heavily armed, committed one of the boldest robberies in the annals of Oklahoma. The south bound train, one of the fastest that passes through here, was flagged to a stop as it was speeding by the 101 ranch. Six bandits detached the mall and baggage cars from the passenger cars and ordered the crew to proceed down the road about 200 yards. "Now keep under cover if you want to live," commanded a bandit to the train crew. Then the highwaymen advanced on the mail car. Barrieaded inside was Percy A. Norman of Newton, Kansas, who fired at the bandits, with his rifle. Breaking in the door, one of the bandits fired a load of buckshot into the mail clerk's breast. As Norman lay dying, the bandits placed a heavy charge of dynamite under the safe. Out of the wreckage they gathered about $10,000, it is believed. Then as they swung off the car, an express messenger peered out of his car, rifle in hand. A fusillade of shots greeted him. He sank back, shot through the shoulder. Another shot struck a person at the other end of the car. Throwing their loot into the waiting motor, the train robbers fled over the uneven ground. Immediately, the alarm was given. A posse was organized in the city and three hours later they were joined by the train load of special officers. COMMODITY PRICES KEEP ON SOARING The Upward Movement Is World Wide and Is Not Confined to the United States—The Causes Numer ous and Complex, Yet Traceable to the War. (By Henry Clews Letter.) Commodity prices are still rising; the general level being fully 25 to 30 per cent higher than before the war. Cotton, copper, steel, oil, rubber, sugar, wheat, meats and all food products are advancing, stimulating general unrest by adding to the already high cost of living. Since the war, wheat and flour have nearly doubled, meats have risen 20 to 30 per cent and over. The British Government, after taking over control of several commodities, is now regulating wheat supplies, and prices. Textiles show a substantial rise since the war. Cotton, goods are 25 to 100 per cent higher, linens have doubled, woolens are 50 to 70 per cent above 1914 and carpets have risen 60 to 100 per cent. Thus far these advances have been more conspicuous in the wholesale markets than among retailers. Eventually however, they will reach the latter class and the general consumer, who will also have to pay for the increased costs of distribution arising from the scarcity and high wages of labor. This upward movement is worldwide and not by any means confined to the United States. The causes are numerous, and somewhat complex, and yet nearly all of them find their primary origin in the war. First and most serious, is the shifting of millions upon millions of men from productive occupations to those of destruction. Hence the scarcity of labor and the incalculable wastage of life, property and commodities. Nothing can prevent even higher prices while the terrible scourge of war continues. Production is decreasing, while consumption and waste are constantly increasing. Governments may endeavor to restrain speculation with all possible energy; they may seek to prevent the unscrupulous from taking undue, advantage; they may secure better distribution and somewhat mitigate the hardships of abnormal conditions; but no government is powerful enough to throttle the inevitable law of supply and demand which, owing to scarcity, now operates irresistibly in the direction of higher prices. High prices are the natural correction of such conditions and the only sure way of stimulating production. Economy, efficiency and stoppage of waste are equally necessary to offset the high cost of living. Even in the commercial world the ill effects of the war are painfully illustrated, and many lessons can be learned; chief of which are the inviolability of economic law and the penalties which the whole world must suffer for the struggle now devastating the Continent of Europe. THE FORUM. The Citizens' Forum, after missing one meeting on account of the Baptist convention, reconvened October 15th. President W. Dwiggins, with the faithful chaplain and publicity committee, was on time. The chaplain gave the opening exercise and the president opened in her usual decisive manner.
