VOTE FOR HARRY A. MENDENHALL ON NEXT MONDAY FOR MAYOR KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS $1.50 THE RACE AND CITY LOSES ONE OF ITS NOBLE CITIZENS. A MAN OF CHARACTER AND WORTH A HIGHLY HONORED CITIZEN—A MAN WHOSE LIFE WAS FULL OF GOOD DEEDS—A PHYSICIAN OF GREAT MEDICAL SKILL—HIS FRIENDS WERE UNLIMITED. On last Saturday at 1:30 a.m. an angel entered into one of our best homes and therefrom plucked its head, counsellor, father, husband and friend. Dr. Greenbury Howard Browne, 1015 Freeman avenue. While the general public had been informed of the doctor's serious illness, but when the word was released of the death of this splendid and noble character it was but a short space of time when it covered the two cities. While Dr. Browne had not been in the best of health for several years, his ambition of service to his people kept him on his feet. He loved to do for the sake of humanity. The race, city and profession has lost one of its most highly valued citizens. A man of high morals and M. B. B. Christian piety. A man who had ever been true to his race and common humanity. A man with a bright intellect and was always found using it in that which was most needed. As to his medical skill, he had but few superiors in any race. Dr. Browne was born February 12th, 1859 at Brookville, Md., and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. H. Browne, farmers, and also ran a country store. There were only two children to this union, the other a girl, now Mrs. Mary E. G. Thomas of Washington, D. C. At the age of 13 years the doctor entered Howard University, Washington, D. C., and remained there five years, then, returning home, took up school teaching at his home town and clerking in his father's store, and at the same time read medicine. At the age of 21 he returned back to Howard University and spent three years in the study of medicine, graduating March 6th, 1882, with the highest honors of his class. After which he practiced for some time in Freedman hospital of that city. In the fall of 1883 he came to Kansas City, Kansas, and immediately hung out his shingle, being the first Negro physician in this city, and his success from every angle started with his citizenship. The following year, December 24th, 1881, he was united in marriage to Miss Alice M. Taylouer, who was born at Crestline, Ohio, and at this time had been for five years one of this city's most efficient teachers. The doctor immediately after his marriage laid the plans for the Allen Chapel Choir and Western University Chorus of 110 volces will have a Campus Procession. Dr. Stevens, of Kansas City University, will speak. Program begins at 4 o'clock p.m. VOL.3. house in which he passed away at 1015 Freeman avenue. He was a member of the Board of Education of this city 1887-89, and it was through his efforts that our Douglass school was erected, and other smaller buildings for school purposes. The doctor was one of Western University's first teachers. There were born to this happy union five boys, Howard R. M., Thos. W. S. G., Albert L., Hugh Ainsworth and Harry Purvis. The two former are married and live here and the others are of the home. There are two grand sons. Doctor Browne was a man that loved his family and was greatly interested in their welfare for good. His devoted wife and children showed their loving appreciation at all times toward husband and father. He was a 32d degree Mason and had long been a staunch member of the African Methodist Episcopal church, holding his membership in the First A. M. E. church at the corner of Eighth and Nebraska avenue. Besides his family and relatives he has legions of friends of both races who sadly regret his transition and whose hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved. Funeral. The funeral was held Wednesday at 10 o'clock a. m. from the First A. M. E. church of which he was a prominent member. Rev. J. R. Ransom, his pastor, officiated, assisted by Rev. W. A. Bowren, pastor of the First Baptist church; Rev. Geo. McNeal, pastor Pleasant Green Baptist church, and Rev. J. C. C. Owens, presiding elder of the Omaha district Kansas conference. Most all the clergy in the city were present. The church was filled with friends from both cities. The Masons turned out in a body, also the doctors of the city. Resolutions were read from various departments of the church societies and the Howard Alumna of Greater Kansas City. A large number of elegant and beautiful floral designs were panked around the rostrum. The remains were taken to its last resting place in Woodlawn cemetery. Mrs. J. R. Ransom, who has been nursing her daughter, Mrs. Ethel Ransom-Henderson, for more than two months at Lawrence, has returned home, bringing with her her daughter and two sweet children. The many friends of Mrs. Henderson are much gratified to see her returned back to normal health. Mrs. Ransom has been greatly missed by her many friends and her husband, Rev. Ransom, is all smiles. Mrs. Sadie Duncan, 1012 Oakland avenue, who has been sick for some time, is improving in health, of which her many friends will be pleased to be informed. Funeral. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, MARCH 23. 1917. THE MAN OF THE HOUR THE FUTURE CAN ONLY BE JUDGED BY THE PAST. For one to judge and have some confidence in an individual they have got to have personal dealings with that individual or be shown their past record. Every person has a record, good or bad. We have in this sketch a man who has been the public servant in some way or other for the people of Kansas City, Kansas for more than 30 years. What about his record? What about his record as a citizen? What about his record as a business man? What about his rec C. W. ord as a booster for Kansas City, Kansas? What about his record as to humanity? What about his record as to giving every man a fair and equal chance? What was his record when sheriff? Now if every citizen in Kansas City, Kansas, and Wyandotte county was to be called upon to respond to these questions 100 per cent of them would answer without the least hesitation in the affirmative. They would do so because it was true. Now, does it not seem wise and prudent that the people would be taking far less chances on a man whose record has been clear and clean for all these years than some one whose books have not yet been recorded. We have been taught "Safety first". DAVID FRIEDMAN FOR RE-ELEC- for the advancement TION BOARD OF EDUCATION. results for every edu Mr. Friedman, whose cut appears in this column, is known to the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, far better than printer's ink can tell. He has been for many years one of the members of our Board of Education and it can be truthfully said that no member in all these years has been more active and progressive than Mr. Friedman, and the secret of his success and popularity among all the people is he never shirks duty in working and this motto can be very applicable. Applied at this time in selecting a man on next Monday who on the 3rd day of April can be elected as mayor of Kansas City, Kansas, and that one should be Harry A. Mendenhall, a man with all the qualifications and efficiency, besides a man who would be mayor for all the people, not for Wyandotte, Argentine, Armourdale or the Quaker, German, Negro, Italian, or what not, but for all the people regardless of color or creed. Why? Because that has been his past record. Just for what its worth let us notice his record toward the colored man, and we will just mention one or two things. Take it back when he was sheriff. Who did he appoint as his deputy? Mr. Gleed, one of our colored citizens, and he has kept in his employ ever since he has been in business colored men and several of them. We should not have to classify ourselves as American citizens, but we are in no position at this period to do otherwise. So when it comes to our support of anyone of the opposite race we should consult his record for fairness toward the race. Mr. Mendenhall's ancestry would prove to the colored man as to his friendly feeling toward making him stronger for life's duty. Take it back in the dark days of slavery and we find the Quaker chancing his life at every opportunity he had in securing his freedom. Mr. Mendenhall is one of the old, stand pat, dyed in the wool Republicans, and if the pasture gets short in his own lot he never was found jumping over the fence where the grass seemed to look greener, but has everlastingly been found a true blue to his party. Mr. Mendenhall is indorsed by nearly every business man in the city and many of them have voluntarily come out with signed testimonials in his behalf. He is looked upon at this time as the Moses of Kansas City, Kansas, because of his record. Mrs. Mosby of Quincy, Ill., a friend of Mrs. L. D. Hall, whom she had not seen for more than 20 years, and the mother of Mrs. Sadie Duncan, 1012 Oakland avenue, will leave for her home the last of this week. She has been here nursing her daughter through her long illness. for the advancement and general results for every educational enterprise that's available. And another thing causes the masses to reflect, he believes what is good for one school is equally so for all our schools. Mr. Friedman probably spends more on his valuable time without any compensation at all than any member of the board. He believes in having the best that's on the market, and he does not rest until it's in sight. He certainly is the right kind of a man to have associated on this most important board. ADVOCATE J. P. CLARK FOR STREET COM MISSIONER. Mr. J. P. Clark, candidate for street commissioner, has made a clean and gentlemanly campaign in every respect and by doing so has made many friends who are working hard for his nomination on next Monday. Mr. Clark is very much a gentleman and it is practically conceded that he will be one of the successful candidates at the primaries for commissioner of streets. Mr. Clark's many years of citizenship here and his association with the park department as its superintendent, makes his candidacy exceedingly strong. He has a clean record as to honesty, justice and right toward all mankind and his ability is unquestioned. JUDGE MILLER FOR RE-ELECTION BOARD OF EDUCATION. There is no doubt as to the nomination of Judge O. L. Miller on next Monday's primaries as one of the nominees for member of the Board of Education. Judge Miller is well known to all of the people in Kansas City, Kansas, and the interest he has taken in our schools, with his experience along educational lines, makes him one of the most efficient men for the place. Judge Miller, as many can recall, represented this district in congress some 20 years ago, and his record as a servant for this district is an open book. Our school board needs just such men as Judge Miller, and at this special time the voters should be extremely careful in selecting the best possible representatives to manage our educational affairs. Mr. B. S. Jones has been confined to his home, 707 New Jersey, for five weeks with sickness. Master Hugh Brown, 1015 Freeman was taken to the hospital this week for an operation. DR. REEVES FOR MEMBER BOARD OF EDUCATION. Dr. E. A. Reeves, one of Kansas City, Kansas,' popular and prominent physician is a candidate for Member Board of Education and it would be mildly saying that Dr. Reeves is as capable as any man in the city in furthering the progress of our school system. He is a college bred man, therefore has the interest of our educational development at heart. Dr. Reeves has been a resident of this city for more than 18 years and has been one of our foremost and successful practitioners for the past 14 years and has the honor at this time, of being president of the Wyandotte County Medical association. He is one of the big boosters for Kansas City, Kansas and was one of the captains and leading spirits in the recent campaign to increase the membership of the Mercantile club. Dr. Reeves would make a strong asset to our Board of Education and would be found at all times working for the greatest good for every school in the city.

BROWN A MAN EVENLY BAL- ANCED FOR PARK COMMISSION- ER. While there are a number of splendid citizens seeking the nomination for park commissioner, there is one who is peculiarly fitted for this position, and that one is J. B. Brown, a real estate man with offices in the Holmes building. Mr. Brown is known to most everyone in Kansas City, Kansas, and as to his ability and clean cut business transaction no one can guess [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit] tion. It is believed by every fair minded citizen of Kansas City, Kansas, that Mr. Brown would make one of the most efficient and economical officials that this office has had since the inauguration of the commission form of government. He is a man that believes in doing everything that tends to boost our metropolis and at the same time not spend the people's money in just certain parts of the city, but treat all parts alike. Another thing about Mr. Brown, no class would feel embarrassed to make their wants known when visiting that office. It is a settled fact he will be nominated next Monday. L. D. DOLPH, CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. Mr. L. D. Dolph who announces his candidacy for Member of the Board of Education is not a stranger to the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, by any means. Mr. Dolph has been identified with our police department for a good many years and is known to be one of the most popular and efficient officers on-the pay roll. He has been one of our plain clothes men for several years and his work has been phenomenal. There is one special thing that makes him dear to the hearts of thousands of people of this city and that is the inaugurating and managing of the free Christmas dinners to the poor and unfortunate. Mr. Dolph has always been interested in our schools and if elected would be found at all times working to, keep up the high standard of our school system. No better man could be found for all the people than L. D. Dolph. CITY FEDERATION. The City Federation of the Christian Churches of Greater Kansas City will meet with the Third Christian church, North Fifth and Cleveland avenue, Sunday at 3:30 p. m. Miss Rosa P. Brown of Port Gibson, Miss., the national secretary of the Christian Woman's Board of Missions, will address the Federation. NO. 30 DO YOU BELIEVE IN SIGNS?

"My daughter, when thirteen years old, was stricken with heart trouble. She was so bad we had to place her bed near a window so she could get her breath. One doctor said, 'Poor child, she is likely to fall dead any time.' A friend told me Dr. Miles' Heart Romedy had cured her father, so I tried it, and she began to improve. She took a great many bottles, but she is spared to me today, a fat, rosy cheeked girl. No one can imagine the confidence I have in Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy." A. R. CANON, Worth, Mo.
