KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE BISHOP PARKS WILL BE AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH SUNDAY NIGHT TWELVE MONTHS $1 50 Miss Irva, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Shelton French, 1026 Grandview boulevard, was married to Mr. Thomas Augustus Fletcher, M. D., Kansas City, Mo. Dr. Fletcher is formerly of Grenada, B. W. I. The marriage was solomized at St. Augustine Episcopal church Eleventh and Troost avenue, Kansas City, Mo., Wednesday morning, December 27th, at 11 a. m. Many guests had arrived long before the hour, all standing room was taken. The church was appropriately decorated with Christmas bells and festos of evergreen. These with a white cover for the altle made a complete representation of the significant colors of Christmas. The service was opened with a solo, "All Mine Alone," sung by Mrs. Emma Collins Payne. The party entered the door as the organ pealed forth the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March. After the groom and best man were ushered to the altar, Miss Ruth J. Bradley, bridesmaid, marched slowly down the alse, clad in a soft filmy dress of white georgette crepe; the bodice of white maline, was artistically draped with assimulated wing sleeves, wearing a silver gray bonnet of Episcopal design. Next followed Miss Ann E. Crosthwait, bridesmaid, in a gown of pink charmuse embroidered in a conventional gold flower. Miss Crosthwait wore a picture hat of shell pink and gold. Both bridesmaids carried white wicker baskets filled with roses and stebla. Mrs. C. H. Phillips, of St. Louis, Mo., the matron of honor, was beautifully gowned in nile green satin with an over-drape of net and bodice of silver lace. Mrs. Phillips wore also a picture hat in match green. Keeping time to the music came Master Perry L. Jones, son of Dr. Thos A. Jones of Kansas City, Mo., bearing a pillow of white satin. The bride came in on the arm of her father, Prof. Shelton French, stepping easily in front of a two and a half yard court train of white stage satin, over which the vell fell in graceful folds. The wedding gown was of exquisite design with a tunic of silk lace and net; the bodice was of lace and satin with an abbreviated sleeve of ribbon and iridescent trimming. On her right arm rested a bouquet of white roses and stebia from which hung floral streamers of ribbon and filles. The ushers took their places and Rev. Father Van Loo began the beautiful and impressive Episcopal marriage ceremony which lasted more than an hour. Just before the party ascended the altar Prof. T. H. Reynolds of Kansas City, Kass, sang, "For You Alone." During the ceremony the choir sang appropriate hymns and rendered the music of the holy communion by Monk. Mr. Thomas Welch was best man; Dr. C. A. Maurry Kane and Prof. P. L. Jacobs were the ushers. At 2 p. m. at the home of the bride's parents, a six course dinner was served to the bridal party and Mr. R. V. Crosthaite, D.D.S., of Chicago. The dining room was beautifully decorated, the color scheme being green and white. In the last course, cooling doves in white, in ice cream molds, represented one of the details of the color scheme. The reception was held at the home of the bride's parents from six to ten p. m. At 6 o'clock the bride's parents and the bridal party formed the receiving line. Guests were received until ten o'clock. Each in turn was ushered to the dining room and served jersey gold brick ice cream, macarons and lady fingers, green and white mints. On the table was a gorgeous cover of French damask, with a 12 inch border and insertion of hand made linen lace of antique design in the Hamburg pattern. This cover was furnished through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. John French, high class caterers of Chicago. The cloth is used by them only on special occasions and its value is estimated to be $500.00. After being served the guests reviewed the many and valuable presents. Williams, Fairfax.

BUSTER ROYALLY ENTERTAINS THEIR OHIO GUESTS. On last, Saturday from 4 to 6 p. m. Prof. and Mrs. G. B. Buster entertained at their large and beautiful home, 1934 North Sixth street, in honor of their Ohio guests, Mrs. John I. Rudd, of Springfield, O., sister of Mrs. Buster, and Mrs. C. W. Napper, of Greenfield, O., also a relative of the hostess. More than one hundred responded to the unique invitations sent out. The honor guests were handsomely gowned as were the entire receiving line. The house was glowingly decorated with appropriate colors and when the many lighted candles under their dainty colored shades—the handsome and brilliant electric domes were turned on its brilliancy and richness of effect was strikingly beautiful. Brick cream in colors was served with dainty mixed cakes. Punch was also served. The guests were entertained with vocal and instrumental selections by a trio of young misses. Mr. and Mrs. Buster are royal entertainers and one on leaving their home always feels happler. SHALL WE CONTINUE THE APPEAL—THAT OUR SHORTCOMINGS MAY FULLY APPEAR? is passed, and ye are not saved. The foregoing aptly applies to us, and our political situation. Each one, in his own estimation, has a complete knowledge of why our portion of the Harvest is so insignificant. "Ay, there is the Rub." "Each one separately—and no one and nothing in the end. A blind man can see the thing which is needed, without which our portion will continue to be as it has been—Insignificant. Then may we hope that we will act wisely—and pool our interests, and do it now, and without delay." Is it needless to ask that all this knowledge, that each one of us has, and is willing to display, when a few happen to meet—knowledge of How and Why—we accomplish so little—Is it needless, I repeat—to ask that all this knowledge, and remedies, be pooled and milled over and over again, so that whatever is good therein, may be extracted for our benefit? It does not appear difficult on its face, and yet 'Tis exceedingly strange that the matter is not solved. The field is open, through this paper, Church, and public meeting place, for all who know the way—to proclaim it to a suffering and misguided public. Then why not do so? Duty it seems to me, demands it. For years, and particularly for almost a year—through the columns of The Advocate, we have made the appeal. If we are not on the right track—then "Ye, who are wise" "speak out in the meetin'"—we are open to conviction, and willing to do anything needful that will help. To all who have the knowledge, and the remedy for our undone condition—you do yourself no honor, by withholding those things that are so much needed for our salvation. In what I have offered heretofore, and now again tender, I have done the best that was in me to do—and in this extremity I yield-up to those who are Wiser—perhaps not more willing. And I appeal to you—Come forward—Go forward—Do or Say; whatever is necessary—and Say or Do it in any form or manner, or at any time; you deem right and proper—even so—in the name of a suffering people; it may be done. I am almost ready to agree that: "All is travail and Vanity and Vexation of spirit." And possibly, may not further Trouble and Worry, by continuing to Appeal—but instead—give place to— You owe to your wife, mother, daughter, or sweetheart a box of delicious fresh chocolate candy or a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream at Smith's Drug Store, Cor. 18th and Tracy, K. C., Mo. Stop that bad cold. Smith's Vim and Vigor Cold Tablets will do it. Price 25 cents. 18th and Tracy, K. C., Mo. Those who attended the inauguration Monday from here were Rev. J. R. Ransom, Judge I. F. Bradley, E. E. Scruggs and Editor Kennedy. GOVERNOR CAPPER'S RECOMMENDATIONS Governor Capper, in his inaugural address Monday, asserted that he was for governmental efficiency, but he had no theories to exploit. But here are some of the things he advocates—just a few—in his message delivered to the legislature: Submit the question of a constitutional convention to the people, or an amendment permitting the submission to the people of an indefinite number of amendments at any general election. Abolish board of administration, board of control, board of corrections and board of managers of soldiers' homes. Put state schools state penal and charitable institutions and soldiers' homes under one board to be appointed by governor and composed of four directors, one for each class of institution with the governor as chairman. Appoint a state business manager and purchasing agent to serve all the institutions. Consolidate the board of agriculture and departments of horticulture, livestock, grain inspection, entomology, dairy, stallion registry, veterinary, forestry, feeding stuffs and others, into a single department of agriculture in charge of a commissioner. Provide for co-operation in the inspection service to eliminate sinecure jobs. Abolish state tax commission, placing its duties in the hands of a state tax commissioner. Abolish State School of Mines. Reduce the number of district judges. Enpower the chief justice of the supreme court to transfer judges from one district to another to keep dockets clear. Adopt the Maryland state budget system to stop haphazard spending of public funds and block pork barrel legislation. Have fewer expensive elections by providing for four year terms for county and state officers, with the elective officials subject to recall. Reduce county offices from thirteen to seven or eight by combining their work. Have county clerks keep a public list of all taxes rebated. Make system of accounting uniform for cities, counties and state, with annual audit by state accountant. Provide home rule for Kansas cities at once, empowering them to adopt city manager plan if they choose. Establish state control of receiverships with a limit on fees. Have all fees collected by state departments and institutions turned into the state treasury. Let a searching inquiry be made into extortionate fees exacted in probate and other courts. Increase the production of products on farms and in plants for state institutions, and provide for the sale of the surplus to other state institutions on a cash basis. Strengthen the merit system and civil service law. Obtain a list from the records, the half billion of personal property now dodging taxation—in the interest of a better distribution of the burden of taxation. Then there are 11 recommendations for school legislation. There are 13 recommendations for welfare legislation. There are 6 recommendations for general legislation. EBENEZER A. M. E. CHURCH RAL- LV. JANUARY 14TH. There will be a rally all day Sunday at this church which is located at 2800 North Tremont. This is a mission pastored by Rev. N. B. Robinson, and he is working hard with his small but earnest congregation to pay off the present debt. This church is needed badly in this locality and is doing splendid work with the disadvantages which they have and at this time no better deed could be done than go Sunday at some time during the day and, help these people get them a church home. Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Jones are new pupils in the Spanish class of the night school. QUINDARO, KANS. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Ganaway and Mrs. Hortense Bradford wero guests the past week of Mr. and Mrs. Hayes. Mr. Ganaway has recently completed a fine nine-room house nine miles in the country from Pratt, Kas. The farm sometimes pays well. Mr. Dagley, of Highland, dled. Mr. Robt. Monroe is improving. Mr. Elmer Banks is sick at his father's home. Mr. Smith died last week. Mr. Ewing of back-to-the-farm fame spoke at Allen chapel last Sunday evening. He gave some good advice and pointed out some pending dangers. It is always a little dangerous to talk without knowing what one is going to say next. Some things would be better unsaid. Talks should be carefully planned before hand. Things said leave their mark. The new seats are all right. It is good to have men about with reserve force, thought and money. Hro. Connor was the right man at the right time. We are in receipt of a report on real estate by Prof. Geo. W. Hines, former instructor at W. U. and now of the commercial department of Howard University. It is a study of Negroes in business. As a contrast to the advice given freely to the colored man to get homes and make good citizens is the real experience at the hands of white men—to quote from his report: "There are those who feel that to attempt to secure a home it not worth while because they know not when they may be driven from it by white people—a common incident in some localities." This thought in contrast to that treatment: "If there is one thing that predominates all other things in the economic life of a race, it is that of buying or owning homes." The colored man with his meager earnings is compelled to pay from a third to a fourth more for his rent or purchase than any other nationality. In spite of these obstacles he is increasingly acquiring property. Mr. Lincoln on Human Nature and the Declaration of Independence, said "Wise statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of posterity to breed tyrants and so they established those great self-evident truths that when in the distant future some men, some faction, some interest should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men or none but Anglo-Saxon white men, were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; their posterity might look up again to the Declarations of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began, so that truth and justice and all humane and Christian virtues may not be extinguished from the land; so that more should hereafter dare to limit and circumscribe the great principle on which the temple of liberty was being built." These thoughts are refreshing and applicable now though they are fifty nine years old. Truth is ever new. GOVERNOR DEFIES A MOB. Kentucky's Executive Rushes to Scene By Special Train. Murray, Ky., Jan. 11.—In line with his announced intention to give the mob "a chance to lynch the governor of Kentucky first," Governor A. Q. Stanley arrived here early today and took charge of the situation growing out of the threats made yesterday by a mob against the lives of Circuit Judge Charles Bush and Commonwealth Attorney Denny Smith. The special train on which Governor Stanley arrived was left standing with steam up, ready to take them from Murray if further demonstrations were made against their lives. Open threats were made on the streets that any attempt to remove Judge Bush from Murray or to prevent the trial of Lube Martin a negro, charged with killing Guthrie Duglud. a white man, would place the governor's own life in danger. It was because of a continuance granted yesterday by Judge Bush in the case of Martin that the anger of the mob was aroused. Immediately after the continuance was ordered Martin was spirited out of Murray and taken to Paducah for safekeeping. Mrs. S. T. Thomas, who wae visiting her sister and relatives in Texas, has returned to her home at 1319 North Eighth street. PROF. BUSTER ELECTED PRESIDENT OF FORUM Sunday, January 7, 1917, the Forum composed of the most intelligent and most respectable of our race in Greater Kansas City, met at the Metropolitan Temple and were entertained by the following program: 1. Selection, Intercity band. 5. Current Events. 6. Violin Solo, Master Solonon Thompson. 7. Address, "The Changing Order," Prof. A. Gregg, W. U. 8. Vocal Solo, Mrs. J. Reed, K. C., Mo. 9. Band Selection. 10. Vocal Solo, Mrs. D. A. Holmes, K. C., K. (encored.) 11. Star Spangled Banner, Band. Prof. Gregg's address was very instructive. He said in part, "We must do some real earnest thinking in civic affairs. Those who read must bear the burden of those who do not read." The crisis is on and only the man who thinks is going to prevail. If we cannot get Christian ideas permeated into the lives of men and women, there will be a more serious change." The president, Mrs. Dwiggins, had beautiful printed programs for her last meeting and secured all the persons who appeared, except the speaker. The large, appreciative audience enjoyed the program very much. After a collection of over $7 she called for the nominating committee's report, which was as follows: President, Prof. Buster; First vicepresident Attorney Booker; Second vice president, Mrs. A. R. Merritt; secretary, Mrs. Winifred Morton Jacobs; assistant secretary, Miss Salia Brown; treasurer, Mrs. T. Davis, Jr.; chaplain, Rev. A. Brown; critic, Prof. Curry; reporter, Mrs. M. C. Matthews; clerk, Mr. A. Saunders. Prof. Buster declined at first, but was prevailed on and afterward accepted. Rev. A. Brown declined and Rev. Robinson was then elected chaplain. By motion the report was adopted and the past president installed the newly elected officers. Prof. praised the former president and Mr. P. Gardner and others praised the whole staff of officers and by motion the Forum extended the former officers a vote of thanks. The treasurer, reporter, and clerk were reelected. The new president was given power to appoint the executive committee. The election was the most pleasant held in two or three years. The committee on place of meeting led by Mr. Truman recommended remaining at the Metropolitan Temple. This was adopted. The ushers as this meeting were Misses Caution Davis, Ora Carter and Lola Terrell. Mr. Geo. Williams secured the speaker. Sunday January 14th, a fine program will be rendered. Come where the elite of all churches and of the race attend, and you will be benefited. Dr. Anthony Hawkins of Ft. Scott and his new and handsome bride, the belle of Little Rock, Ark., were the guests of the doctor's sister, Mrs. Thomas, 2415 Park avenue, Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday of last week, where they were royally entertained. After a fine luncheon Prof. Milton Collins of the Kansas side took the bridal party in a touring car on a sight-seeing trip over the boulevards of Greater Kansas City. Dr. Hawkins is a brother of E. J. Hawkins, principal of the Ft. Scott schools, and is also grand master of the Kansas jurisdiction of Masons. Dr. Hawkins is a graduate of Mahary School of Medicine and has been practicing in Ft. Scott about two years. Wylie Cooke for County Auditor. Mr. Wylie Cooke seems to have the lead over all other candidates for the appointment of county auditor. There is no doubt about Mr. Cooks' ability and he will make a good man for the place, and will no doubt meet with the hearty approval of the great majority of our people. Mr. Green oni Eighth street, remains about the same. ADVERTISING RATES. Made on Application. Bell Phone, West 2968.

THEY SAY THAT— The woman president raised more money than in any administration, that is in ordinary collections. Why can't a woman be nominated for president by the committee of the Forum? That some of our people have good voices for singing but you cannot understand all their words. Good singers ought to sing every word distinctly. That after Judge Sims kept his word and appointed a young man of our race in his office, why should some of us protest the appointment? That makes the other race not want to bother with us.

It has over 500 members. Prof. J. M. Marquess, now of Langston U., created the office of Reporter in the Forum, while he was president. He admired the writings of the present reporter, Mrs. M. C. Matthews. She likes her office very much as she has the last say after everyone else, even the critic. She loves to write prose descriptions and especially poetry. She is termed the "Poetess Laureate of Kansas," and has more poems than any one in the city, and more letters of endorsement from great men. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE That Enormity of Grudge Social Conditions is Still Practiced in Some Places. That enormity of crude social conditions, the charivari, or, to follow the popular pronunciation, "silivaree" seems to die hard in the dominion. Some weeks ago a number of young men of a district near Woodstock, in Ontario, entered the home of a recently married couple, bound both hand and foot, and carried them to the barn on a wheelbarrow. There they removed the clothes of the husband and smeared his body with oil and chaff. They had no excuse to offer it court except that they were "silivareeing" the young man and his wife. Small fines were imposed on them, which action suggests that at least a little progress, toward a higher civilization is being made in the neck of the woods of which they are denizens. Beside such conduct as that described, the inabilities so often practiced at weddings are insignificant, yet they should be consistently discouraged. Guests at these ceremonies ought to keep their pleasantries from marring the happiness of the bride and groom and their families; especially, of course, should they refrain from practicing such frivolities as place the victims in peril of positive bodily harm. TOO MANY BACHELOR SEALS Reserve Increasing at Rate of 4,000 Unnecessary Bull Seals Every Year- A complete count of the pups born to the fur seals of the Pribiloff islands has been made each season since 1912, the year after pelagic sealing was suspended by international treaty. The count for 1915 shows a total of 103,527 pups, which means 103,527 mothers. This shows that the herd is being restored to normal growth. But Prof. George Archibald Clark of Stanford university, California, points out in an article in Science that there has also been an abnormal increase in the number of young males, what he calls the "reserve" increasing at about 4,000 unnecessary bull seals every year. Of these there are about 27,000 now. The danger lies in their attacks upon the massed rookery portions as they desire to set up harens of their own. This keeps the breeding grounds in a continual state of battle, resulting in injury to many mother seals and the trampling of the pups. It also means that when the fishery is resumed the grounds will be overrun by hordes of savage fighting bulls, He Baggedabigone. A few days ago four firemen from No.11, East Washington street, Indianapolis, went to Columbus, and then motored west of there, to hunt. They gave their names as Rossmeyer, Fehrenbach, Rudy and Slater. Rudy's father lives west of Columbus, and they were going to hunt on his land. The party had just arrived when Slater started to scout around the barnyard. Suddenly he came back at a gallon, much as if he were going to a third alarm fire. He was sounding . s slen, and all the tenants of the barn-lot got out of the way. "Gimme a gun, quick!" he commanded. "I just saw the biggest rabbit I ever saw in my life." He grabbed the gun, hurried away, and in a moment or two the others heard a report. Here came Slater, lugging an unusually large animal of some sort. "Gosh a'mighty!" exclaimed Rudy's father, "if he ain't shot my Belgian hare, that I wouldn't have taken $100 for!" And it is said that Slater did not enjoy a bit of his outing after that.—Indianapolis News. Girls Play Hockey. The fair sex has taken up the game of hockey in earnest in New York and a girls' league has been formed in the metropolis. A call was sent out not long ago to those who wished to play the game and 300 responded. Hockey has long been recognized as one of the most dangerous of the strenuous sports and only the hardest of men care to take the risks involved. There is always the danger of having your cheek laid open by a slash from a hockey stick or your teeth removed by a swift flying puck or shins barked, not to mention the thousand and one different kinds of falls that are always imminent, when a sheet of slippery ice is your only support. But the girls do not seem to mind the dangers involved. Those making up the different teams in the league have become quite proficient in the game and many exciting matches are played by them. Now they are ready to meet the best of the girl teams of Canada, where they have been playing the game for a long time. Shameless. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood said in a preparedness argument at a dinner in New York: "The man who opposes preparedness expects his brother to do his fighting for him. This man is as shameless as the chap who said: "Well, I'm going to get married next week." "What will you live on—loved? asked a candle friend. "No," was the reply. "We'll live on love's father."—Washington Star. Dogs for the Blind.

The Advocate extends to the family at this sad hour of bereavement its sincere sympathy. Died—The baby of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Gayden on Troup avenue, Thursday morning about 2 a. m. The Advocate extends its sympathy at this hour of sorrow. The new heating plant just put in and operated the last Sunday for the first time at the First A. M. E. church, did its work nicely. No excuse now for not attending services on account of it being cold. A warming up of both soul and body would not be amiss. Armourdale Representative Introduces Bridge and Sand Bills. George R. Long of this city, introduced measures No. 24 and No. 25, designed to do away with bridges in drainage district where these endanger lives or property of persons in the district. One of these is directed particularly at the Chicago Great Western bridge across the mouth of the Kaw river in Kansas City, Kansas. Bill No. 26, by the same author, would turn over all the sand royalty receipts from these districts to the drainage board, instead of one-third to the district and two-thirds to the state, as at present. Representative Classen Would Force Overhead and Underground Crossings. The Kansas public utilities commission is given power to order the construction and maintenance of overhead or underground crossings, warning signals, or other safety devices, at dangerous railroad crossings, in house bill 23, introduced by Samuel Classen of Wyandotte county yesterday in the lower house of the Kansas legislature.

HOPE OF UNIVERSAL PEACE. ment to Make Future worlds Wars an Impossibility. Kansas is to show her desire for Peace by being a factor in the world wide organization 4nown as the Lea: gue to Enforce Peace. That the peo: Fle of the state may learn the ob fects of the League Governor Capper has designated Sunday, January 28, as Peace Day to be observed by the ehurches, and Monday, January 29, &s Peace Day to be observed by the schools, patriotic, fraternal, business and social organizations. The minis- ters have been asked to speak on the subject of Peace and the objects of the League. On Moxday the teach- ers aro to explain the purposes of the League and secure the memberships of the children and thelr parents. Former President Taft is the prest- dent of the American Branch of the League. Judge Alton B. Parker is the vice-president Its membership facludes as many governors ana form- er governors as there are states in the union, mayors of many citles in cluding New York, Boston, Baltimore and New Orleans; the presidents of leading colleges, and many~men and worren eminent in the professions But this enrollment of membershlp is no measure of the strength of the League to Enforce Peace, for it has 2 relatively emall number of, active workers but a very large number o! members who believe in, work for ant vote for its principles, Former President Taft, as the hené ef the movement in America fo Peace, bas gained a reputation as ow: a. hates bh 4 a foremom diptonist .2hd"peece edvo- cate. In speaking of Mr. Taft as the president of the American Branch, the Topeka Capital said “Mr, Taft 1s quite where he belongs, leading a big International movement for peace, It ought not to be forgotten that when Roosevelt poohpoohed arbitration of all differences, Taft, then President, sald it must be all or none. He fs America’s best known diplomat, though never holding 2 ‘stated diplo- matic position. He conducted a par- ticularly delicate diplomatic mission to the Pope after the Philippines came into our possession and later an- other to the Mikado. Mr. Taft Is a real peace m&An in the only signifi- cant meaning of the word. ‘That Is, he hellees in settling matters by diplomatic discussion and understand ing” . It is believed that in his message to the legislature, which has but just convened, that Governor Capper fexpressed the sentiment of the state regarding Peace. In his message Gov. ermor Capper sald: “America—Kansas—has .no_ higher duty than to join with the sober-thinic ing men of all nations in a world: wide movement to make future wars Impossible. It may not come withir tke province of your state government to participate officially in this move ment but as your governor I appeal to you to joim actively in the move ment, to take It close to your hearts to make dt a part of your persona duty to humanity, I believe of th veveral plans proposed, the League 0 Nations to Enforce Peace, headed by former President Taft, while not a: |yct perfected in all details, to be the wost feasible and practical. Ever; man who loves his country; ever; |ruan who loves humSnity, ought to af |filiate himself with the movement. hope to see Kansas do her full par Jin this epock-making work.” | It is hoped that everyone in Kan Jsas will Join the League to Enfore |Peace.

Gregory, attorney general of the Uni. ted States. The certificate was for warded to O.
