KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS $1 50 HIGH SCHOOL GIRL PUNCTURES A DEGRADING SPEECH OF HER WHITE CLASS MATE An address delivered by Myrtle Anderson, a 19-year-old high school girl of Los Angeles, Calif., who punctured an address in reply to an address of the same class, made by a young white man and who made a vicious attack on the Negro race, with an incriminating advocacy of the lynch law: Miss Nichols and my fellow students, in answer to Mr. Morrissey's address I wish to comment on his attack on the Negro race. First, I want to impress upon your minds that I do not and shall not uphold the Negro race in any of its faults; but shall give facts and justice to whom justice is due. As Mr. Morrissey stated that he was voicing the sentiments of his race, so shall I voice the sentiments of my race. In the creation all men were created equal and alike. From the dust of the earth came forth the human family—no black, no yellow, no red but the family of the Divine Creator, the giver of all good and perfect gifts. You are forced to admit, Mr. Morrisey, the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man! Time brings about many changes, for instance, when your forefathers and my forefathers lived on the banks of the Nile, happy and contented. History tells us they were all of one color and desirous of going beyond their confines, they forsook the Nile. Some going north; some going west; some going east; and some going south. Those going north into a climate chilled by snow and cutting winds made it possible that they should be fain with flaxen hair and blue eyes. Those going west where the climate was not so severe was responsible for their olive hue. Those going east where the rays of sunbeam brought another skin and texture of hair. Those going south where the sun in all its grandeur and beauty sending down its silvery waves in all its fulgency became the black man. But remember Mr. Morrisey, all of one flesh, of one blood and of one nativity—the Nile Not a White Man's Country. As you boastfully say, this is a white man's country—I stand ready to dispute every inch of your claim. When Columbus landed on this great American continent did he find its shores lined with white men to welcome him? No, and a thousands times no. But instead he found the red man and in full possession. Did this great land of wealth and plenty remain in the hands of the red man very long after the advent of the white man? No. But through his trickery and cunning devices he robbed him of his wigwam, and his happy hunting ground. Let me bring it closer home than the days of Columbus and the red man. Just across the border the white man has robbed the Mexican of his fertile soil and his rich yielding mines. In his fleddish greed for conquest he has been the means of un-told suffering and deprivation, and yet his unrestrained arm goes on supported by the army and navy of the U. S. And yet you call this a white man's country. The first blood spilled upon American soil flowed from the wounds of a Negro to free these shores from the yoke of Great Britain and to plant the stars and stripes. The Negroes' voices have mingled with his white brother, singing, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty." He has been inspired by the rattle of the drum and the blowing of the life rolling out its war tune. The black man's soul has been stirred to its very depths by the sound of "The Star Spangled Banner." It was a gallant charge of the black man that saved Old Glory from trailing in the dust at San Juan Hill, when his brothers in white were falling to the right and to the left; but the black man, indifferent of impeding dangers, came up in the thickest of the fray singing, "There Will Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." And there was a hot time in that old town. Ask Colone Hooservelt. Again the Negro has given account in the battle of Vicksburg under the command of General Grant. After unsuccessful attacks with white troops, being beaten on every hand by General Fairragut in command of the Con- federate troops, General Grant asked for Negro troops. And can you imagine the astonishing results? Down came the flag of the Confederacy and the planning of the Stars and Stripes. Was it not through the untrying efforts of the black man that another victory was won when the efforts of his white comrades had failed? But we see no glowing tribute of his bravery and valor in the histories of today. But the fact remains so. Never Lacked Courage or Valor. In the battle of Gettysburg and New Orleans the black man never lacked courage or valor, but shed his life's blood for freedom and citizenship. But does he enjoy it? No. Like other things his brother in white robbed him of his standing as a rightful citizen. Would not your dear mother hang her head in shame to know that her boy, the pride of her life, the happiness of her future, should advocate Lynch law for Negroes? Would not that mother by that one single utterance of her darling son, see him lose prestige and standing in the eyes of the fair minded men and women in this and other communities? Why was the whole world thrown into convulsion when Leo Frank was lynched for his dastardly crime against little Mary Phelan; and at least a dozen more crimes put to his credit? Because his skin was white. And I would advise as a cure for this narrowness and prejudice an expansion of mind. Why did not the people of Cheno, Cal., lynch Rev. Slaughter for his dastardly crime against 15-year-old Mary Lawson?. Was it because he was better than his brother in black in crime? Oh, no! But because the laws of the land protected him. But the day is fast approaching when there will be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. May God hasten the day. Why did not the people of Los Angeles seek to take the life of Kilfoil by lynching him? Was it because his crime did not merit death? Or because the Holy Bible says, "Thou shalt not kill?" Or because his crime was of a minor nature? No. Let us go into detail. After robbing the promising little rosebud of its sweetness and purity and leaving her a public charge and forever putting a social blight on her life; not satisfied after accomplishing his friendish desire then leaving her to face the cold, cold world alone, unprotected and soon to become the mother of his child, sought to have her aid him in cold and willful murder. Can you imagine anything so helnous? Did Kilfoil deserve summary punishment? The answer is yet. But sober minded men, cultured to the extent as to elevate them above the thoughts of lynch law (not like you Mr. Morrissey), the laws of the land were upheld. Kilfoil was duly tried, convicted and sentenced. And the blemish and disgrace caused by the lynch law (which you advocate, Mr. Morrissey, for the black man), was spared. The fair name of California stands unnished. But if you had had your way and Kilfoil was a black man, what would have been the results? As a man thinks he is. What was the shocking shame of Stanford White in his treatment of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw? And did not Greater New York bury her head in shame of the revolting crime of this wolf in sheep's clothing? But his set to rise no more. And in your breadnuts, Mr. Morrissey, if Stanford White had been black you would have cried, "Away with him! Lynch him, the malefactor! But he was one of your own race, white of face and flaxen hair and with a soul as black as the hinges of perdition. And his controlling thoughts were the virtue and innocence of some fair maiden; and his surest and safest method of robbing her of her purity and sweetness. I pity him if you could have had your way and he had been black. But it was the black man's brother in white and from the banks of the Nile; too The good book teaches peace on earth and good will to men. Protectors of Virtue. During the days of the Confederacy when the white master was forced to shoulder arms and the old trusted Ne CITY AD And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JANUARY 26, 1917. gro was left to protect the life and virtue of his young mistress, did he betray his trust? I think not. But in more than one case he gave his life in offering resistance in defense of his sacred charge. Does history give any account of the white man protecting the virtue and chastity of a Negro girl? No. But court records show where they have stolen her virtue. What a contrast. Mr. Morrissey, I wish to call your attention to the fact that if the Negro is a murderer, if he is a rapist, if he is a thief, is it not so with your race? He is guilty of everything that your race is guilty of except one, and that is to raise his hand to kill the president of the United States, and God forbid that he shall ever be guilty of that crime. The progress of the Negro has been unparalleled in the history of all other nations on the globe. Fifty-one years from under the yoke of his master, and today he compares most favorably with any nation; in science, in music, in literature, in economics and the deep researches of the earth. Our ministers, our doctors, our dentists, our bankers, our lawyers, all lend color to the rapid stride up the hill of advancement. In the face of all the hindrances your race puts to retard our steady climb, such as lynching, torturing with hot irons, shooting down in cold blood, we are coming, yes, coming. Road Has Been Rough. Three hundred and fifty years has been your steady march with nothing to retard or hinder. But just think, Mr. Morrissey, where the Negro will be when he has reached 350 years. We are forced to admit that the road has not been smooth at all times, and with faltering steps we have moved upward and onward; with our hand in the hand of Him who has never faltered or swayed. He has led us on safely thus far, and the black man shall rely solely on the great God, the Ruler of the destiny of all men. We shall look to Him for succor as our refuge and our stay in the time of storms. And when such men of your race shall be among the things of the past, and when the pendulum of the eternity's clock shall tick away the hours of the dying day and you and your advice of lynching for the black man shall be buried in mother earth the Negro in his triumphant march shall go on and on. When the black man shall be free from the scorn and rebuffs of his brother in white we shall all recall the happy days on the Nile and say, "This is the end of a perfect day."—Myrtle Anderson, 1135 Hobart boulevard, Los Angeles, Cal. FT. SCOTT. KANS. Mrs. Riche who was seriously burned, a few weeks ago, is yet at the Hospital but much improved. The bible class at the Baptist church is interesting. Little Gladys Parks is out, after a very severe attack of diphtheria. The brick plant is running full force now. The sermons the police are preaching to the bootleggers and crap shooters are certainly doing the work. They cost a little more than those they get at the churches, $200 and 90 days for one evening is pretty stiff. But any price so they are converted. Mrs. Elsie Barker, who was shot during the Xmas holidays, was able to be in court to testify against her assailant. The Mothers Aid met at the parsonage of the A. M. E. church. The revival at the A. M. E. church closed last Sunday night with eleven converts, accessions, thirteen. The church was revived and much good accomplished through the untiring effort of the evangelist, Mrs. A. J. Wade-Fickett. This is Sister Wade's second visit to our city and it is pleasing to the congregation to note her splendid work Quarterly meeting at Wayman Sunday. The P. E. will be present, are riving on Friday evening to hold an old time general class, meeting, will preach morning and evening. Hey Wilson of C. M. E. church will preach in the afternoon. "NEIGHBORHOOD" BIBLE CLASS. By a typographical error this class was called "Metropolitan Bible class." That is a mistake. It has no special name yet and is for members of all churches and every denomination. Also it is for sinners. It had a profitable meeting at Mrs. Simpson's and will most next at Mrs. Green's Wednesday day. January 31st, at 7 p. m. All are invited. ADVOCATE SUMNER HIGH ROTES With the current issue of The Advocate a new department in charge of Mr. Mervin Harris a member of the Junior class of Sumner High school, is created. Through this department, items of interest in connection with the high school will be presented to the public. The first semester ended Friday, January 19. Although no promotions are made at this time, several changes are made in the schedule according to which the school operates. Civics, a half term subject, is discontinued and psychology is now offered. An entirely new feature of the course of study is a course in Business English which is offered to the Seniors and Juniors. The Physics classes have just completed a brief study of the working principles of household articles; so if your ice-cream freezer, egg beater or other similar articles get out of order notify Miss Pinyon and she will dispatch an expert to put them in order again. Sumner is very proud of the fact that two of its faculty were elected officers of the Forum, Prof. Buster being elected president and Prof. Curry, critic. The Modern History class is just completing a very interesting study of the French Revolution. A very interesting instructive program was rendered at the Assembly, Wednesday, January 17. Mr. Thomas Johnson conducted the current events in a very unusual and commendable manner. Some of the so called, "big words" that Mr. Johnson uses causes many of us to hunt a dictionary. After the current events Mr. Wilkerson gave a short talk on the events that lead to the issuing of the emancipation proclamation. This was followed by a paper by Miss Link on "What Freedom Has Meant to Us." These two renditions were given in a manner which shows that the performers have passed one stage that most of us have yet to pass, namely, stage-fright. Following these two numbers Mr. DeFrantz, secretary of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. gave a very instructive lecture. The Freshman class will give the program in the Assembly Wednesday, January 31. REV. G. E. HORSEY ADDRESSES ALIANCE. Great Fallts, Mont., Jan. 19.—Rev, G. E. Dorsey lectured Wednesday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. under the auspices of the Ministers' Alliance (white). His subject was "True Manhood." After touching the hearts of the ministers they made free will offering to help him raise fudns to complete his church, which is under construction. Mrs. D. E. Knott entertained the Ladies' Aid Thursday evening. Wallace Hagin and family have moved to Butte. Mr. and Mrs. Julian Powell and daughter are living in Butte. Messrs. Con Rickey and James Linzy are on the stick list. Mrs. Kilbert is on the sick list. A SWELL BUNGALOW. One of the swellest bungalows that has been built in this city by a colored person is nearing completion near the corner of Haskell and Fourth street. It is strictly modern in every way, with seven rooms, including sleeping porch and arrangements in every detail are superb. It is certainly a dream; and the designer and builder, Miss Ida Marr, is to be congratulated on her most excellent taste. Rev. W. J. Rowan and wife, en route from Indianapolis to Portland, Oregon, stopped over Sunday in the city and were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel, 931 Spillegot avenue, who were former members of his church while pastoring in Little Rock, Ark. Dr. Rowan had been pastor of the larger A. M. D. Zion church of the Hoosier capital for several years but had taken work on the coast. Mrs. Ida Coffer, who was called to St. Joseph, Mo., on the account of a sick sister, has returned home. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. The services were largely attended at the Sunday morning service, at which time a most remarkable sermon was delivered by Dr. W. I. Rowan, late pastor of the Calvary A. M. E. Zlon church of Indianapolis, Ind. It was a real message of spiritual food for the large and appreciative audience. At the close of the messenger's sermon one young woman came forward and confessed a hope in Christ, while two others connected themselves with the church. Dr. Rowan and his wife stopped over Sunday here en route to his new field of labor, Portland, Oregon. Dr. Ransom filled his pulpit at the evening service and preached his usual able sermon. The church in all of its departments is being led into new pastures and its members are rallying to the support along all lines of duty to their leaders. The young people are becoming much interested in the affairs of their fathers' and mothers' church home, which shortly will fall heir to them. METROPOLITAN CHURCH. The morning service was very largely attended and the pastor, being one of the great spiritual preachers, was at his best on the text, "The King Within." The song, "Looking This Way," led by him and sung by the congregation, touched most hearts and made many praise God. At 8 p.m. nine joined church. Two were converts. Baptizing of same will be this Sunday night. The union revival of 24 churches begins on this side Monday, January 29th at Metropolitan Temple. Rev. Bailey, the great evangelist, will preach and a choir of many voices from both Kansas Citys will sing. All are invited. Sinners especially. Mr. S. H. Randolph, trustee of Metropolitan, wishes to urge those who have the $2 cards to be ready to report February 1st. Those donating or soliciting will be tendered a free reception about February 15th. FORUM. The Citizens' Forum had another successful meeting at the Metropolitan Temple. President Buster opened prompt at 4 p.m. The ex-chapplain led devotionals and Miss S. Brown is acting secretary. An excellent program was rendered but the violin solo by Mr. Harris, accompanied by Prof. Reynolds, and the harp solo by Mr. Massey were (in Latin excellentissimo, or very excellent art were encored. Other features of note were the poem by Mr. T. Davis and the paper, "Civilization," Mrs. W. Dwiggins. She said in part that "Many think that, might makes right and that this country guarantees equal rights to all with a question mark at the end. That segregation is a slaughter of Christian principles. Now it seems to be a survival of the fittest, but 'our ideal of the fittest is a Christ, not a Krupp gun.' Miss E. Neely played a beautiful piano solo. She is chairman of a music committee. Prof. Buster appointed Mrs. Matthews publicity committee, also Editor Kennedy, and Misses C. Davis and Ora Carter over a question box Sunday, January 28th is Junior Day Program by young people to be addressed by the eminent Prof. J. R. Lee of Lincoln high school. Don't miss attending these meetings of culture. Large crowds attend. BIBLE BRIGADE The Bible Brigade, led by Mesdames M. C. Matthews, Mrs. C. Meekan. H. Miller and F. Morris and others, visited a pool hall Tuesday and invited more than 20 young men to attend church. Many promised to attend the great Union Revival, which begins January 29th at the Metropolitan Temple. These ladies are doing fine work. Rev. Holmes calls Mrs. Matthews his minister and says she presches great sermons by her writings against dancing, cards and other sins in our good paper, The Advocate. There will be a Men's and Women's meeting at Metropolitan Baptist church Sunday at 3 p.m. The men's meeting will be held in the lecture room by Evangelist Bailey, of Texas; his subject will be, "A Detective On Your Trail." Dr. Holmes, the pastor, will preach to the women at the same hour in the church auditorium. Stop that bad cold. Smith's Vim and Vigor Cold Tablets will do it. Price 25 cents. 18th and Tracy, K. C. Mo. MENDENHALL IN MAYORALTY RACE ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY TO HIS FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS —ENTHUSIASM RUNS HIGH. Harry A. Mendenhall, head of the Mendenhall Transfer company at the corner of Fourch and Minnesota avenue, president of the Minnesota Avenue State bank and always a substantial booster for the city's interest formally announced his candidacy for a mayoralty nomination at a meeting of a large number of his friends and supporters at the Grund hotel Monday evening. Enthusiasm ran high when Mr. Mendenhall said he had never sought the office and was in hopes all along that some other of their choice than he would accept, but as they could not be induced to do so, he felt it was his duty as a citizen and to the people of Kansas City, Kansas, who had made it possible for him to be what he is, not to shirk any responsibility they wished to put upon him, that in their mind would be a step forward in making Kansas City, Kansas, a better, nobler and a more progressive city and he further stated if elected, he would be mayor of all the people and from the humblest to the greatest would be heard in the office with that same courtesy. At this time only two known candidates for the nomination have officially announced themselves, the other being Mr. Robert Eagle who made his announcement some ten days ago. Mr. Mendenhall was sheriff of this county some years ago and served two terms with great credit to the office. He has been closely associated with the business interests of the city practically all of his life and has been active in all public affairs to the growth of the Kansas metropolis. COL. EDWARDS INSTALLS OFFICERS OF THE MID-WEST COMPANY. Colonel Prince Edward of Wichita, Adj. General of the Kansas regiment. K. Ps, was in the city Monday night, at which time he installed the newly elected officers of Mid-West company No. 2. The colonel was looking fine and he gave the boys at the close of the installation a splendid military talk. He went from here to Leavenworth to install the company there. Col. Edwards reports the companies throughout the state where he has inspected are doing well and everyone is preparing for the supreme encampment this year at St. Louis. State brigade meeting will be held some time in March and is likely to be either in Galena or Independence. General orders No. 7 are out showing the new regulations, giving designs and cuts of uniforms ad insignias. WM. SEARCY, TEAMSTER, RECEIVES FRACTURED SKULL IN STREET CAR ACCIDENT. William Searcy, driving a delivery wagon for the Advance Transfer company, probably was injured fatally Tuesday neon when the wagon was struck by an east bound Tenth street car at First and Kansas avenue. He is 38 years old and resides at 1220 North Tenth street. Witnesses said the street car did not stop after the collision. Messrs. Dorsey, Green, Smith and Dr. Banks made up a hunting party Wednesday of this week. It is reported they brought in a nice bunch of rabbits. The train porter said that two farmer boys who bid them good bye at the station said, "Uens let us know when you come the next time and we will have more of 'em for youse fellows." It was claimed by some of the party that Doctor Banks would have been skunked, had he not gone into a farmer's yard and shot one of the pet rabbits. Doc. didn't tell how much it cost him when the farmer let him Miss Etta Kelley and her niece, Miss Blanche Stanley of 1912 N. 6th street, are ill and under the care of Dr. S. H. Thompson. J. T.

HARRY MENDENHALL AND HIS CONSTRUCTIVE WORK. How the Terminal Problem Was Solved With Mendenhall as Head of the Biggest Civic Organization in America—The Faith His Supporters Have In Him. Remember the Union Depot club of Kansas City, Kansas? That was the biggest civic club any city in America ever boasted of, with its more than 10,000 members, every member a live wire, and Harry A Mendenhall, the president, a battery of heavy voltage all by himself. It was the Union Depot club, under the leadership of Harry A. Mendahall that put up the valiant fight that forced the railcads to recognize Kansas City, Kansas, as the largest city of Kansas and one having an identity of its own. It was the Union Depot club that forced the railroads to provide passenger facilities in this city (until the terminal passenger station problem could be worked out) so the railroads could handle the heavy traffic resulting from the 2-cent a mile intrastate rate in Kansas. And it was this same Union Depot club of 10,000 with Harry A. Mendenhall at the head which made possible a practical solution of the termnan railway problem and an expenditure of the Kansas City Terminal Railway company of $4,500,000 to $6,000,000 in providing these passenger and freight facilities, the intent and purpose of which is to place Kansas City, Kansas, on an equal footing with any other city in this country with respect to railroad facilities, rates, switching charges and regulations. But the constructive work of this organization of civic boosters is only begun. The gigantic terminal railway project, now under construction, must be carried to completion, according to the letter of the contract, and along with it the development of those industrial interests which are to make Kansas City, Kansas, the biggest manufacturing center of the middle west and which count for the prosperity and happiness of the people. In furtherance of this idea the civic booster of Kansas City, Kansas, have chosen Harry A. Mendenhall the valiant president of the Union Depot club and live wire citizen, as their candidate for mayor of the city, and it is only through a desire to further the interests of the city in which he has resided and of the people among whom he has moved for more than 30 years, that he has yielded to their entreaties. Harry A. Mendenhall's friends and supporters are backing him because they have faith in him and in his ability to carry out a constructive program of city building. They point to his record as a citizen, business man, public official and city booster as a reason for that faith. He has been successful in the transfer business, which he has built up on a large scale. He has shown himself to be a good financier as director and president of the Home State bank for more than ten years. In the old council, in which he served two terms before we had a commission form, he proved his knowledge of the city's needs and made a good record, and as sheriff of Wyandotte county he made a capable and efficient officer. His record as president of the Union Depot club and as a member of the Mercantile club's union depot committee, is known to the people of this city. And throughout his more than 30 years in this city his record has been clean, not a breath or suspicion of scandal about it. "What is your platform?" a citizen asked Harry A. Mendenhall over the telephone last evening. The reply was characteristic. The mayoralty candidate replied: "KANSAS CITY, KANSAS!" "Suits me," the citizen came back, "biggest, broadest and best platform any candidate for mayor ever stood upon." Standing on such a platform, backed by thousands of citizens who are keenly anxious to help in the broader development and the general upbuilding of the city, together with efficienc- in municipal management, many things are possible for Kansas City, Kansas. "If I am mayor," he told his friends when they asked him to run, "it won't be for any clique, or party, or interest. I am for Kansas City, Kansas—for the whole people." Harry A. Mendenhall can be relied upon to serve the interests of the people of Kansas City, Kas., honestly and efficiently. He can be relied upon to deal with the street railway problem from the standpoint of a citizen of Kansas City, Kansas, who desires to build up his own city by the enforcement of a strict compliance on the part of the Kansas City Railways corporation with every condition of its franchise. And that is what the people want. CIVIC BOOSTER. OUTSIDE REGISTRATION. Books to Be Open to Voters at Many Places Next Week. With only about 2,500 persons registered at the city hall for the spring primary and election Commission W. H. Haskell has announced that outside registration will begin next Monday. This will facilitate the region of voters and give them an opportunity to register without going to the city hall. The following is a list of the outside registration places for the first week: Monday—3091 North Twenty-seventh street, 1977 North Twenty-ninth street and 43 Lombard street. Tuesday—1801 Quindaro boulevard, 2500 New Jersey avenue and Shawnee road and Stine avenue. Wednesday—Thirteenth street and Quindaro boulevard, Thirteenth street and Virginia avenue and 3414 Strong avenue. Thursday—Tenth street and Quindaro boulevard, Thirteenth street and Wood avenue and 3118 Strong avenue. Friday—Seventh street and Quindaro boulevard, Tenth street and Minnesota avenue and 1402 South Twenty sixth street. Saturday—Seventh street and V'ginia avenue, 1201 Minnesota avenue and Twenty-third street and Metropolitan avenue. A NEGRO BISHOP FOR EPISCOPALIANS A NEGRO BISHOP FOR EPISCOPALIANS Religious Education, Social Service and Missions were the prominent features of the Episcopal Synod of the Southwest, which has just closed its sessions at Little Rock, Ark. There were present eleven bishops and more than sixty clerical and lay delegates from Missouri, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and New Mexico together with a large delegation of the Woman's Auxiliary to the Board of Missions. The responsibility of the Episcopal church for the spiritual welfare of the negroes was fully debated, within the province there are more than 11-2 million negroes for whom the church is doing but little. The synod unanimously approved a plan to elect a colored suffragan bishop in the dioceses of Arkansas and Texas, and requested the board of missions to provide their stipends. The result of the comprehensive survey of religious conditions in the province of the southwest shows that it covers an area of 660,000 square miles and has a population of 12,500,000. This includes 100,000 Indians, 2,500 Japanese and Chinese, and in Texas and New Mexico a rapidly growing Mexican population. Three quarters of the entire population is living in rural districts, and more than 2,000,000 are born of foreign parents. Careful investigation shows that less than one-third of the people are communicants of any church. Within this area the Episcopal church has 627 parishes and missions and one clergyman to every 45,000 of the population. Impressed by these facts, the synod appointed a strong commission to take steps to increase the number of clergymen. The synod discussed the relation of Religious Education to American Democracy, it being pointed out that, since the Bible was dropped from the public schools crime has increased 400 per cent. The church recognizes her great responsibility for the religious education of the young, and one of the most interesting features of the sessions was a practical school of instruction in methods of religious education which was held under the direction of Bishop James Wise of Kansas. The work of the church at schools of higher learning was also considered, and a conference of college chaplains is to be held shortly in Chicago. At the Conference on Social Service, the conditions in mining and lumber camps of the Southwest and the needs of the miners and lumber men was considered by the synod. A timely paper on Penal Reform was read by Mr. C. P. Waters of Little Rock, Arkansas. Bishop T. P. Thurston of Eastern Oklahoma reported the progress of the church pension fund. A sum of $5,000,000, of which $4,000,000 has already been raised, will provide a pension for aged and disabled clergymen. This fund will be completed by March 1, and will then go into operation. Reports of delegates indicated that the proportion of the $5,000,000 allotted to the Southwest province will be raised by that time. By formal resolution, the synod expressed its approval of a comprehensive plan of publicity for the Episcopal church. Reports of the synod have been issued to 523 daily and weekly newspapers within the province and the synod voted to add 5500 to its annual budget for publicity work. We wonder people in K. C could have bred the Citizens' I are feeling out FLEEING FROM FLOODS. Thousands Are Driven from Homes in Ohio Valley. Pittsburg, Jan. 23.—Thousands of men were thrown out of work today and a score of big industrial plants ceased operation as a result of one of the biggest floods in recent years sweeping down the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers, wreaking heavy damage. The loss is heaviest in the Turtle creek valley and along the Allegheny and Ohio, where hundreds of families occupying low territory were driven to higher ground. At McKeesport, a water shortage is threatened. It was necessary to shut down the waterworks late last night on account of the rising flood and today there is less than 12 hours' supply in the reservoir. The flood, checked somewhat by the cold wave which arrived during the night, reached its maximum stage at 8 o'clock this morning, when it registered slightly less than 26 feet. Street car and railroad traffic is being carried on under difficulties in the flooded section. Lexington, Ky., Jan. 23.—Half of Kentucky is without gas, the great mains having broken under the strain of the floods from the mountains, 50 miles east of Lexington. The hotels and restaurants are crowded with thousands of residents of this city and surrounding towns, as cooking cannot be done at home. Scores of mountain villages are facing inundation and considerable damage is being done. All streams are rising rapidly, the rise in Kentucky rivers being unprecedented.

Senator Coleman Declares it Ridiculous for Twelve Men to Try Civil Cases. Topeka, Jan. 16.—Among all the "jury" bills introduced at this and previous sessions the little bill introduced by Senator Coleman of Johnson county stands out as something new. He proposes a six-man jury for civil cases, involving amounts up to $100. "The bill grew out of what appears to me as a lawyer to be a real need," said Senator Coleman. "It is ridiculous to have to draw a jury of twelve men to try a little civil case. Six men could reach a decision perhaps more easily and the decision would be just as fair as it would be if reached by twelve men." Although his bill does not provide for it, Senator Coleman also favors the three-fourths jury measure, for which two or three bills have been introduced in the senate. "In hard fought cases," he said, "there is always the chance that efforts more or less successful, have been made to fix one juror; that there will be one man on the jury who will stand out against all the rest until the end of time and force a hung jury. With a three-fourths jury law it would require three or more such men to hang the jury and prevent a verdict. I believe nine honest men can reach a true verdict just as well as twelve. I believe the verdict of the nine would be just as nearly right as that of the twelve. Of course if any six-man jury bill should pass and be followed by a three-fourths jury law, it would be hard to divide a six-man jury up that way, but that could be ironed out."

One Secret of Success of Well-Known New York Hotel Owner. One of the many things which have contributed to the success of the late George C. Boldt, the well-known hotel man, was his ability to remember the names of his guests. Early in his hotel experience Boldt discovered that there is no item of courtesy which pleases a guest much more than simply to be remembered, to be called by name. And so Boldt made a special effort on this point. Finding that he was rather lacking in this phase of memory, he set out to develop his mind in this direction. He found that even the simple process of repeating over to himself two or three times helped tremendously. You are introduced to a man, and are apt to be looking at him so intently that you do not even hear his name when it is spoken. Boldt always made it a point to catch the name—to have it repeated if necessary. Then he said it over to himself two or three times, while associating it with the man's face and with his general appearance. He made a mental picture to himself of the way the name would look when written out—American Magazine.

And it was King Albert who explained to her gently: "I have him with me to teach him how serious a thing it is to be king." To every American mother should surely come at some time the desire to teach her son "how serious a thing it is to be a citizen." Yet how few mothers realize that the ideals of citizenship which their sons carry with them must be fostered in their boyhood days. Every time a mother teaches her son to regard the interests of the family as a whole she is teaching him to be a good citizen. And every time she teaches him that being a member of a family carries with it obligations as well as privileges she is teaching him the meaning of citizenship—New York Evening Sun. The Great Adventure. The romance of the great towns! Do the city-bred ever thrill to it as we of the small towns? I wonder. Not vulgar bedazzlement with glitter and swirl—your minor poet or Broadway dramatist can dish up that emotion—but the mental intoxication of guessing at the epic sweep of human destinies interwoven in these inscrutable buildings, these teeming streets. I mean a glamour as of first hearing a majestic symphony, long ago learned from a piano score, performed by full orchestra; I mean those first weeks of our Great Adventure, of the sense and sound of the city drenching us with hope and dread; of lifting eyes to the upper murk shot rose-pink from the glare of boulevards; of the muffled road borne vaguely up into remote brick courts as from spring freshhes thundering in deep woods over the cataracts of life.—Seymour Deming, in the Atlantic. Panama Fans Want League Teams. Baseball fans in the Isthmus of Panama are booming that section as an excellent location for one or more training camps for the big league teams. It is claimed the sanitary conditions of the canal zone, under the care and direction of the army and canal officials, are excellent and that with the dry season extending from December to April the major league ball players could not find a more satisfactory location for rounding into shape for their pennant battles. Baseball is exceedingly popular there and the teams would be sure of good gates at any exhibition-games that might be staged during their stay in the canal zone. Wonderful High-Speed Engines. The past few years have seen wonderful strides made in the development of the high-speed engine. A short time ago engines which would develop their maximum power at speeds in excess of 1,500 or 2,000 revolutions per minute were marvels of scientific design and workmanship. Today we find gasoline engines produced in this country and abroad which not only stay together at speeds of from 3,000 to 4,000 revolutions per minute, but which actually develop their greatest power at speeds in the neighborhood of 3,000 turns. Proof Positive. "You can't fish here," said the farmer to an angler who was gloomily making his preparations to quit the post. "Don't you see that sign, 'No Trespassing?' "Oh, yes. I see the sign," replied the fisherman, "but I wasn't convinced that I couldn't fish here until I had waited nearly seven hours without getting a nibble." Misdeal "Ah, there, Jack!" exclaimed the callow youth as he slapped on the back another young man, who was walking just ahead of him. The young man, who proved to be a perfect stranger, turned and said: "Old chap, you have evidently made a misdeal. I'm not a Jack; my name is King." HARD WORK SPELLS SUCOESS Epigrammatic Governor of Wisconsin Tells Why Rainbow Chasers Fail. Following rainbows in the form of get-rich-quick schemes is the shortcut to failure. Governor Phillip told the Commerce club of Marquette university. He said that for every plunger who scores a brilliant-success there are thousands of failures among men who bank on the turn of a single card in the business world. Conservative men are the great business leaders of the country, he asserted. Here are a few of the governor's "punches" on "the road to success." Find out what you want to do and do it well. Don't be a plunger—don't chase rainbows—be conservative. Don't borrow money unless you know how you are going to pay it back. There is a pay day for everything in life, and the man who falls to keep his credit good cannot succeed. Don't be just legally honest—be honest because you like to be square and clean in your dealings. Put "pep" into your work and be game in the face of failure. There is no royal road to success—success means industry honestly applied—Milwaukee Sentinel. Baseball for Boys as Well as Girls Taking a Firm Hold in the Islands Many things intended to prove that the Philippine islanders are coming into accord with the customs of the ruling nation have been set forth in the last year or two, but few, if any, of them have had the force of a statement by the superintendent of education in the possession, in which he says that when the schoolgirls of Tipas and Oroquleta played a match game of baseball recently, the grandstand would not hold the crowd of spectators. The game was not advertised, he says, and yet the attendance was 2,700. Baseball, for boys as well as girls, it appears, is bringing representatives of the different tribes, formerly hostile, together in friendly rivalry. There is one serious omission in the statement, however. Nothing is said of the umpires. It would be pleasant to learn that they are treated with greater consideration in the Philippines than in the United States.—Christian Science Monitor. Cold Light Mons, Francois Dussard of Paris has made an apparatus that produces light that, although of great brilliancy, gives off less heat than any form of artificial light. In the Dussard system a ring of small tungsten-filament lamps is mounted on the rim of a wheel or disk. When the disk is revolved by a motor, all the lamps are successively lighted in such quick succession that the effect of a continuous stream of light is produced. Each bulb is supplied with current for so small a fraction of a second that the slight amount of heat generated is quickly dissipated. Owing to the interval of rest that each lamp enjoys, it will stand a much stronger current than that for which it is normally adapted, and with less current will produce a far more brilliant light than the ordinary electric lamp. It is believed that the new apparatus can be used with advantage in motion-picture machines, for the light can be placed close to the film without danger of setting it on fire, and thus greatly increase the clearness and the sharpness of the picture on the screen. Safety Razor With Lamp. An Englishman, weary of bloodshed, has bethought him of a means of enlightening the gloomy and otherwise dangerous ritual of the shave. He has invented a miniature electric lamp provided with an adjustable clip and flexible cord which may be attached to the razor and light the path of the blade through the tough bristles of the human face. With his lamp attachment one may plunge fearless into the blackest depths of a three-days' growth of beard and emerge from the ordeal unscathed. The lamp is attached to a conventional type of razor by a simple clip. It travels with the blade or with the motion of the hand. By looking into the mirror the man shaving himself can determine just what progress he is making and whether or not he is going to come through the operation with his two cars intact.—Popular Science Monthly. Size of the Corn Crop. Some idea of the corn crop of the United States may be obtained when it is known that for every dollar of gold taken from American mines the farmers of the country husked $17 worth of corn. Measured in money the value of the crop in 1916 is estimated at $1,500,000,000. The corn fields are large enough to cover all of the surface of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, if they were confined to those states. Brand Not Mentioned. On October 29 Dr. Stephen Langdon, formerly of Oxford university and now curator of the Babylonian section of the University of Pennsylvania museum, opened a letter written 2,200 years B. C., and never delivered. The letter was opened with a mallet, as it was sealed in a clay cylinder. It was written in Sumerian characters, and when deciphered with great difficulty proved to be a Babylonian merchant's order for a shipment of flour. Happenings Stop that cough.

Topeka, Jan. 24.—Representative OI Sparks, Democrat, of Cherokee county, has stirred up a hornet's nest in the house. While the Republican brethren were napping, he got a favorable report from the committee of the whole on a bill providing for the segregation of Negro school children in cities of the second class. Sparks lives at Galena and he says the sentiment of the people there is to separate the whites from the blacks, in the schools. In fact, he says, the Republican representative was defeated for re-election there last fall because he would not agree to introduce a bill to segregate the races. After the committee had recommended the bill the news spread among the Negroes in the state and they have a strong lobby here now working against the measure. They hope to defeat its passage in the house when it comes up on third reading tomorrow. If they fail in that, they will work to have the senate kill the bill. A CORRECTION.
