With a total of 20,036 votes cast for mayor, out of a registration of 29,559, Kansas City, Kansas, nominated two candidates each for mayor and the four commissionerships and six candidates for the Board of Education. Following the process of elimination in the primaries, the victorious candidates will go before the voters next Tuesday, at which time a mayor, four commissioners and three members of the Board of Education are to be chosen for terms of two years. The primary election Monday passed off quietly—as all elections in the city in recent years have passed. Thero was an apparent showing of interest in the voting during the morning, but by hard licks put in by hundreds of workers in the afternoon the total polled by the close at 7 o'clock assumed the respectable proportion of close to 78 per cent of the registration.

It was a bitter fight throughout and while Mr. Mendenhall was assailed on every hand he came through to victory without a blemish. The candidate who will oppose Mr. Beggs at Tuesday's election for Commissioner of Streets and Public Improvements is W. W. Lacy, well known as a citizen of this city, as judge of the city court and former probation officer. Mr. Chapman will have as his opponent at Tuesday's election for Commissioner of Water and Light, Charles Hunter, a plumber, who was a candidate for mayor two years ago. The opponent of Gerard Little for Commissioner of Finance and Revenue at the election is L. H. Harris, a chiropractor who scored second in the contest at the primary election yesterday. Of the other three candidates for mayor, Robert N. Eagle took third place. C. B. Hewlett, the segregation candidate, won fourth place, while W. C. Otto, the Socialist, received less than 200 votes, which indicates that the Socialists took little interest in the contest fro ma party standpoint. The Park Commissioner Fight. With ten candidates in the race for Commissioner of Parks only four of them received more than 2.000 votes, with J. B Brown an insurance man and well known as a citizen and church man, receiving the big end of the vote, and R. L. Houch, former sheriff of Myandotte county, winning second place. Several of the other candidates had a good following, notably Mr. Moidl, Mr. Flynn, Mr. Myers and Mr. Hall, but the big fight was waged by the backers of Mr. Brown and Mr. Hinch. The Board of Education. There were thirteen candidates in the Board of Education contest from which six were to be chosen for the final contest for the three places and it, too more than 4,000 votes to win any one of the nominations While David Friedman, a member or the present board, won high place, E. D. Draper, L. D. Dolph and W. E. Barnhart were next in line, while O. L. Miller, memner of the present board, and Dr. E. A. Reaves took the other two nominations. A MISSIONARY OF MANY LANGUAGES REV.

Marangeopa, the Malay missionary and his wife, came to Kansas City, Kansas, last week and will stop here and do missionary work for a few weeks and then will bear on to the north. He preached at the First A. M. E. church last Sunday evening to a large audience and the sermon electrified his appreciative hearers. He will lecture at this church next Wednesday night, April 4th, on his 20 years travel around the world on foot. The reverend gentleman has traveled nearly 114,000 miles on foot in the past 20 years and has never been known to ride on any kind of conveyance except where he had to cross waters. He has traveled every country on the globe with the exception of Central America. He is on, by Counod T. G.

DAVID FRIEDMAN FOR RE-ELEC, for the advancement TION BOARD OF EDUCATION. results for every educa 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 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 of 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. PALM SUNDAY APRIL 1st AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY Allen Chapel Choir and Western University Chorus of 110 voices will have a Campus Procession. Dr. Stevens, of Kansas City University, will speak.

The officers of the uniform department of Knights of Pythias of the State of Kansas, held their annual session at Independence, Kas., Monday of this week. Dr. F. O. Miller of Wichita, Brigadier General, called the meeting to order at 2:30 p. m. and remained in session with the exception of a half hour recess for committees to prepare their reports, until all business was finished. A good representation was present both as line and staff officers. The business which was transacted was done in a military spirit and General Miller lost no time in carrying out the importance of the meeting. Some very effective features were presented and adopted by the brigade. The supreme encampment which meets in St. Louis next August was much in evidence and the spirit showed that Kansas would be well represented at the encampment. Adj. General Edwards was at his post, and his report of the entire state showed he had done his duty. The local company entertained the brigade and friends with a reception from 8 to 11:30 p. m. Colonels Davis, M. D., Markham, Captain White and other sir knights made it very pleasant for the military boys. Captain and Mrs. P. W. White, 109 South Fourteenth street, deserved much praise for their kind hospitality in entertaining the sir knights as a place of comfort and rest. All will kindly remember this excellent home of good people. The next meeting was voted to be at Wichita, March 26th, 1918. BIBLE CLASS. At another meeting of the Neighborhood Bible class at Mrs. Green's, Mrs. Garvin-and Mrs. L. Eskridge made good talks. Next meeting is at Mrs. Geo. McLelland's on Freeman avenue, Wednesday evening, April 4th at 7 p. m. Mrs. Mattie Akers, 715 Oakland, is quite ill and under a doctor's care. 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. B. BROWN LEADS THE TICKET FOR PARK COMMISSIONER—HE WILL BE ELECTED NEXT TUESDAY. J. B. Brown, one of the dozen or more candidates for Park Commissioner, showed decisively at last Monday's primaries that the voters were doubly sure he was the best fitted Republican for nomination and office for Park Commissioner. Mr. Brown is a clean cut gentleman and the nice thing about it, the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, know it. There is hardly a shadow of doubt but what Mr. Brown will be elected next Tuesday. It's not merely his Republicanism but his fitness, character and efficiency. A man who can be trusted to do and perform the duties of the office for every citizen within the city's domain. Mr. Brown will be elected next Tuesday with the largest vote any candidate ever was elected to this office. The colored voter showed up remarkably strong in the primary for Mr. Brown and as he is the only Republican nominee he will get the colored vote about solid, not simply because he is a Republican but because he is a man. A man that stands for fair play to all humanity. Let us roll up on next Tuesday the biggest vote for J. B. Brown that ever was cast for this office. DOLPH WILL BE ELECTED TUESDAY AS MEMBER BOARD OF EDUCATION. Mr. L. D. Dolph, who was nominated last Monday for member of Board of Education, showed by his big vote that the people, if given a chance, can select from the many the one in whom they feel would serve the greatest number of people for the greatest good. Mr. Dolph's big vote showed conclusively that he is needed on our educational board and his election Tuesday, April 3d, is practically conceded. Mr. Dolph is a man that can be relied upon at all times as to working for the very best interest of our schools and no one will ever regret in their support for L. D. Dolph. The colored voters are nearly a unit for him in all parts of the city. When you go in the booth next Tuesday be sure to vote for our friend and everybody's friend, Mr. Dolph. Rev. D. A. Holmes preached to the men at the Santa Fe depot at noon Wednesday. Miss Mae McClelland is not so well this week. NO.31 THE PEOPLE WANT HARRY A MENDENHALL A CLEAN SWEEP ON NEXT TUESDAY—CANDIDATES WHO WILL BE VICTORIOUS. The mayor contest on last Monday settled on Harry A. Mendenhall, a Republican, and James H. DeCoursey. Democrat, with Mendenhall leading the field from over 1,700 to better than 6,000. Mr. Mendenhall carried every ward in the city and there were but a few precincts out of the 101 that he did not lead. It was shown plainly that Mr. Mendenhall was one of the most popular candidates that has run for mayor since the inauguration of the commission form of government. His vote did not show strong only in spots, but over the entire city. This goes to show the people know the difference without some politician having to be at their front door every day or so. Mr. Mendenhall will be the next mayor of Kansas City, Kansas, and the people will never regret it. He will be mayor for all the people, and that's why, the citizens want him. He will be a boosting executive for Kansas City. Kansas, and that's why he is going to be elected next Tuesday. OTHER CANDIDATES WHO WILL BE ELECTED. Gerard Little, Finance Commissioner, was renominated by a large juicy majority and there can be no fear of his re-election on Tuesday Mr. Little is one of our exceedingly popular young men and his handling of the city's finances in the past two years has made him very dear to the hearts of his constituents. Everybody knows Gerard and his honesty and striking ability. L. H. Chapman, commissioner of Water and Lights, had the honor and delight of leading the ticket. Mr. Chapman deserves everything in the way of honor or glory the citizens see it to give him. There need only be one thing said about Mr. Chapman and that is "he has made good." No one has to be told, just go into the offices of the city hall and look at his record, or go to that great power plant on the Missouri river out at Quindaro and see what has been done. The city demands such men regardless of what the people say and they will go and vote for him on next Tuesday. James L. Baggs, Commissioner of Streets, was renominated with a splendid vote and his past record showed in this contest that he had made good with the people. Mr. Beggs has saved the city and taxpayers thousands of dollars since he first took the office and in his next term of two years he will save the city thousands more. There is no doubt of his re-election next Tuesday. Park Commissioner will be J. B. Brown, a man who has the ability and courage to do things. Mr. Brown is well known to nearly every citizen in Kansas City, Kansas, and is known as a man of ability, honesty and a clean cut type of manhood. He will be elected Tuesday without any doubt. All of these candidates are Republicans, but are unbiased when it comes to doing business for the people. Their records and lives are an open book. The Smith-Bell recital was a high class entertainment at the Metropolitan this week. Mme. Bettis Smith was fine in "Leah, the Forsaken," etc. Mr. Bell can draw and paint good pictures so quickly we almost believe in transmigration of the soul. He seems to have the spirit of Michael Angelo, the great artist. (His best pictures were Old Kentucky Home and Our Savior, drawn while the Rosary was played.)

In barber shops, pool halls and on street corners Negroes are discussing the prospect of this country entering into the war, and some Negroes have said, "This is a white man's country," "This is a white man's war," "I have nothing to fight for" and "I wouldn't fight for this country." The cause for uttering these remarks is not from a feeling of heartfelt disloyalty, but mainly from either plain ignorance or a lack of intuition to see things in a right light. A black man, or a white man, for that matter, who has no interest in his country, who does nothing for its progress, who would not fight in its defense and who so expresses himself is considered in the same class as a traitor or a spy and if he is subjected to the severest treatment, he has no "appeal to Caesar." The fact is the Negro is a citizen of the world, he is not a history of disloyalty, and he willingly fights the wars of his individual country. It would be, a fine thing if the intelligent Negro could influence this thoughtless class to talk less and listen more. And it would be a better thing if the preachers of the race would take advantage of their position as leaders, that is those who are capable of so doing, to discuss with their congregations the vital problem of this practical life as well as those of a vague spiritual world. ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. Say, Uncer like, dey says dat a constint drip makes a hole in er rock; an' it look lak dar mout be be sumfin it it. Yes, I am inclined to think there is something in it; and recent facts bear out the conclusion. And it clearly appears on the face of these facts that our political hoplies in an immediate pooling of interests. We have had an operation wherein each one of us exercised his individual choice in choosing champions for a final contest. This was done in correct and proper manner. And now that the question has been decided as to what is best let there be no waste of energy or effort, but instead united action to insure success. Let us beware of false lights, placed to lure us into unsafe harbors. Let us pay no heed to false issues that may be circulated to poison our judgment and make us turn from and fail to support the men known to be our friends, by their acts and general conduct, to help to place them in power, those we know, or have reason to believe, are not thus friendly. We have too often cherished towards each other groundless notions of dislike which we have allowed to control our actions in such matters. Such conduct to us is worse than Fool-jeh. It is aptly illustrated by, the "Fellow" who refuses to go to heaven, because he thinks some other fellow whom he hates, is going to be there. Let's stop such ignorant and senseless conduct—for it brings us no good, but instead an untold amount of harm. It results—ourselves failing to properly prepare; and often we miss, in our judgment, that the other fellow is going to heaven; hence under such circumstances all of us have a sure shot for hell. Let's quit this foolishness—and all join hands in on Grand Great Big Union of Political, Industrial, Business, Professional and Moral In- terests; and go to heaven together. It will beat going to hell separately. What do you say to my proposition? Honor Bright, now. What do you say? If you are against it, speak right out "in the meetin'" and say I think it at least reasonable. And I believe I see signs of good. UNCER IKE BRADLEY. FORUM. March 25, 1917. The Citizens' Forum held its weekly meeting at-Metropolitan Temple. Chaplain Robinson gave devotionals and President Buster announced the excellent program. Current events, Roy Garvin; violin and 'cello duet, Miss C. Davis and Mr. Giles; oration, Toussaint L'Overture, Miss H. Smiley; vocal music, Sumner Glee club; paper, "A Second Reconstruction." Prof. John Hodge. He said in part that the colored people in the North have mostly turned their backs on the farm. Our forefathers could have taught us trades. That practically there are no colored apprentices and artisans. We need a new reconstruction, also to learn more trades. The cornet solo by Mr. Wm. Payne was enceded. Messrs. H. Dwiggins, Rev. Robinson and Mrs. S. H. Thompson discussed the paper. The vocal solo by Mr. Alex Gatewood was enceded and he sang "Total Eclipse," from Samson's oration. He is our future "Caruso." Sumner Glee club sang again and was enceded. Prof. R. G. Jackson gave a pipe organ selection and was enceded. (Sumner students gave unique yells after Prof. Hodges' address,) because it was Sumner day. The critique was given by Prof. Curry. Next Sunday, April 1, an address will be given on "Tuberculosis" and all the doctors will give a "symposium" and excellent music will be rendered. Everybody come. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. A large congregation attended the 11 a. m. service and were encaptured by Elder D. A! Holmes preaching from John 19:38. Text, "It is finished." He admonished the Christians to love their enemies thus fulfilling the Scriptures. At 8 p. m. the theme was, "I was blind, but now I see." It also was a great message. Some of the many visitors at the services were: Mrs. Bailey of Marshall, Tex., and Prof. A. J. Neely. The collection was over $109. The collection was over $100. Next Sunday, April 1st, at 11 a. m. Elder Marangeopa, who has traveled in Africa and over 113,000 miles will preach. The sewing circle of this church will meet at Mrs. Hayden's, 847 Everett avenue Friday afternoon. All are invited. C. C. RICHARDSON OF INDEPENDENCE, KANSAS, A MAN THAT IS DOING SOMETHING. Mr. Charles C. Richardson who lives and owns a fine piece of garden land on South Nineteenth street, does not only confine his thoughts to this one industry, but has a real estate office up town at 610 North Penn street where he is doing business with the public. He also has opened up a garage and auto wash rack and keeps four and five men busy all the time. in the real estate business he is found very active and his manner of doing business in any of those enterprises, is done with snap and good business judgment. His success is largely due to his dependableness along all lines of business. Mr. Richardson is setting a high mark for the young men who have any tendency to launch out in the commercial world. The race should have many just such men as Mr. Richardson. We are glad to see Prof. Reynolds out again with his chorus at the Forum. He has been sick a week. J. B.

Dr. Ransom will deliver a special sermon for the occasion and as all of his sermons are highly interesting from spiritual and intellectual view this special preparation for this occasion is looked forward too with great anxiety from the entire membership and many friends who attend this church every week. The church was filled last Sunday with people who enjoyed and appreciated the wonderful feast by the pastor. The pulpit was ably filled at the evening service by Rev. Harrabellio A. Marangeopa, a Malay missionary of Africa, and his audience was fed with great truths. Sunday week, April 8th, which is Easter Sunday, special programs by the church and Sunday school will be rendered. The choir which is second to none in Greater Kansas City will give to the people new and high class Easter music. Ten joined the church last Sunday and several were baptized. CARD OF THANKS.

If you didn't you surely have heard about it. The Junior Play, "The Finger of Scorn," was a success all around. At 8 o'clock the auditorium was crowded to such an extent that the order was given to sell no more tickets. The play has been the talk of the week among the students and several of them have adopted the saying, "Taint my way," that one of the characters used very frequently. Prof. Reynolds has returned after a week's illness. Standardized tests in the various studies will be sent out from the superintendent's office in a few days. These tests are causing a great deal of anxiety among the students. Rev. Harris, pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church of Argentine, addressed the assembly on Wednesday. He brought a very common and practical message to the students, which they indeed enjoyed. The American History class has taken up the study of the Negro Race of America. The spirit of patriotism has struck some of the boys. Several have been talking of enlisting after school is out in May. All right boys, it may be as an old colored soldier said recently, "We fought for our freedom but you must fight for your lives." THEY SAY— That over 7,000 people are glad of Mr. H. Mendenhall's nomination, and that 7,000 others will vote and elect him on next Tuesday, April 3. The segregation candidate only received a few votes from prejudiced people. That The Advocate has the largest circulation of any paper, colored or white, that is edited in Kansas City, Kansas. In both cities, our people loiter too much after church talking loudly and jesting in front of the House of God. We should not stop in church nor on the outside to gossip. Most of our race are also glad of the nomination of other good Republicans as well as of our nominee for mayor. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The First Baptist Sewing circle met at the home of Mrs. Ellison on Nebraska avenue. Members present, 20. Offering was $16. Church offering Sunday was $56. MRS. EDITH EDMONDS, President.

JOHN, KANS. The weather is quite chilly here today. The little infant of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Roberts died and was laid to rest in the Fairview cemetery last Wednesday. Mr. Ulysses Bowen, the county surveyor, who has been in Manhattan to learn about the work, returned home Friday night and opened up his office. Messrs. John and Norman Roberts returned from Pratt Thursday morning. Mrs. B. H. Tyler, Mrs. John Robert and Messrs. B. H. Tyler and Sylvester Rich autoed to Kansas City Sunday. Mr. Paul Martin has a job in Pratt. Mr. Frank Bowen is working in town this week. Mr. Wm. H. Delyle of Pratt., Kansas, was the guest of Miss Margaret Bowen last Sunday. M. A. B. BRAY EVANGELISTIC PARTY IN COLUMBUS, KANSAS. The H. Franklin Bray evangelistic party closed a very successful union revival campaign in Galena, Kausas, March 19th. The services were conducted at Mount Zion Baptist church and with the co-operation of the pastors of all the churches 38 souls were happily converted. Columbus, Kansas, extended a cordial invitation to Dr. Bray and his party to help them in a ten days' campaign and he is now stirring the town as it has never been stirred before among both races. Dr. Bray is a forceful speaker and meets with phenomenal success wherever he conducts a meeting. Mme, Sara Hammett is doing a great work in singing the gospel into the hearts of men and women. Mme. Leone Bray, a great soprano soloist and pianist, is doing a telling work among young girls of our race. Rev. R. C. Davis of Galena, Kansas, is assisting the evangelist in Columbus. Owing to the fact that no building is large enough to seat the people that attend his meetings, Dr. Bray has purchased a tent seating 1,500 people and expects to go into it in April. The party goes from here to Hutchinson, Kansas, for a much needed rest of ten days. Dr. Bray can be reached there until April 9th. REV. R. C. DAVIS. Galena, Kas. Rev. McMorris of the Ninth Street M. E. church, left for Omaha this week to attend annual conference. Mrs. F. Morris visited the Bible class.

THE KANSAS'CITY ADVOCATE QUINDARO, KANS. Rev. Marangeopa gave a very helpful address Tuesday to the faculty and students of Western University. Drs. Ransom, Owens, McDonald and Mrs. McDonald were present. Rev. Marangeopa is a missionary on foot. He has not ridden in a street car, automobile or train since 1907. He has walked through all the countries of the world except Central and South America. Dr. Ransom introduced the speaker. Rev. Robinson addressed the chapel Monday. Rev. Vass addressed the chapel Wednesday and lectured to the theological class. Miss Gertrude Turner died last Sunday. The funeral services were held Thursday. Mr. Wm. Banks, a pioneer citizen of Quindaro, is very sick. Mr. Isaiah Jackson is still in hospital. He is improving. Mrs. Landes of the city addressed Vesper Sunday. She is a sincere Christian woman and her message was well received. Do not forget to attend Verper Sunday; 110 voices. A processional on the campus. Come. Though the people of Quindaro are outside the city, they rejoice to know that the 100,000 citizens were too intelligent, considerate and busy to vote for any man who would humiliate a part of the citizens. Life is too important to stop and crush and humiliate anyone. "Help somebody today" is the sentiment. Good men are in the field. Kansas City will fare well under the guidance of any of them. It was the best, sanest and most intelligent primary ever held. Good spirit, good fellowship prevailed. Now let us work for a good city. One of the most interesting facts in the current history of Quindaro is the establishment of Allen chapel A. M. E. church. Arrangements for its purchase were made by our present presiding elder, Dr. J. C. C. Owens, some 43 years ago. During that time many have come and gone. Death has had its many a harvest. Cyclones and fires have destroyed the building but the constructive spirit remains and new buildings have taken their places. Quindaro believes in Dr. Owens. His untiring energy, his active mind and still more active spirit have aroused all who had a desire to do their utmost. A little handful of people does a marvelous amount of work when the right spirit prevails. It seems a little strange that many of us had not appeared on earth when Dr. Owens started our church a going. And now he is still at the head of a district that leads the Kansas conference. This record should be an inspiration to every bishop, minister and layman in the connection. His life, his energy, his foresight, his frugality and free hearty counsel have been an abiding inspiration to the writer. We should lose no opportunity to honor the men and women who have done pioneer and heroic work. Let us look for and see the good in all men. Miss Grinder, who taught in Oklahoma, had to come home on account of sickness. Miss May McLelland has been sick since Monday. W. T.

Miss Mamle Jones, 1119 Freeman, who has been out of school on the account of sickness, was able to resume her studies this week. Mrs. Wheeler and her daughter, Mrs. Bowman, who has been ill at their home, 709 New Jersey avenue, are much better and able to be up. Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown Impoverished nerves destroy many people before their time. Often before a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good condition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa Bonner, 825 N. 18th St., Birmingham, Ala., says: "I have been suffering with nervous prostration for nine or ten years. Have tried many of the best doctors in Birmingham, but they all failed to reach my case. I would feel as if I was smothering; finally I went into convulsions. My little girl saw Dr. Miles' Nervine advertised in the papers and I at once began to take it. I continued to take it for some time and now I am well." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are in a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need something to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in nervous disorders for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other remedies have failed to help you. Gold by all druggists.

AGNES SMITH, The Governor's Proclamation. Today, despite a patience too prolonged, the American nation is vering on war. What the immediate issue will be, only God in his wisdom knows. The spirit of Kansas is stirred as it has not been stirred for a generation. Our peace-loving, soberminded, twice-thinking people, without hysteria and without panic, are quietly "setting their houses in order" that they may be ready for whatever demands may be made upon them. The state burns with a patriotic forlorn deep and genuine, because it is founded upon a genuine love of country. Administratrix of the Estate of Henry Smith, deceased. In Witness Wheroof, the undersigned, Probate Judge in and for the County of Wyandotte, State of Kansas, have hereto set my hand, and affixed the seal of the said Probate Court this 12th day of March, A. D., 1917. PAUL E. HUFF Probate Judge, Pro Tem. (First publication March 16th, 1917.) But that the world may know Kansas stands as ready now as ever to do her full duty, and more; I hereby designate Friday, April 6, 1917, as In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Rachel Kidd "Loyalty Day" in Kansas, and call upon the Kansas people to observe that day with patriotic ardor, by a general display of the national colors; by suitable patriotic instruction and exercises in public and private schools; by public meetings in cities, towns and villages; by pledges of support to the national government; and—that there may be no mistaking our patriotic determination to uphold the traditions of our country and the honor of our flag at home and abroad—by messages of encouragement to the president and our representatives at Washington. vs. William Kidd, Defe PUBLICATION NOTICE. To William Kidd: You are hereby notified that you have been sued by the above named plaintiff in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, Third Division, for divorce, and that you are required to answer the petition of said plaintiff filed in the office of the clerk of said District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, on or before the 20th day of April or said petition will be taken as true and judgment will be rendered against you and in favor of plaintiff, granting her an absolute divorce of and from you and for such further relief as to the court may seem just and proper. Display the Flag. The quarrel into which we have been drawn is not of our seeking. We are actuated only by a desire to protect freedom and the rights of humanity, to defend an outraged national honor. Let us approach the task with all the solemnity of a sacred rite. E. A. SHACKELFORD. Attorney for Plaintiff. (First publication March 16th, 1917.) I further urge that beginning today all public officers and the people generally give expression to their loyalty by a daily display of the flag upon their homes, their automobiles, their public buildings and places of business; and that school exercises be opened daily by the singing of a patriotic song. It is not to our credit as patriots that the average American is ignorant of the words of all the stanzas of "America," "The Star Spangled Banner," and "Columbia." Let the words of these songs be made a part of the education of our children that they may all their lives respond not only in spirit, but by word and volco when called upon to sing them.
