KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE TWELVE MONTHS $1.50 LET KAN KANSAS IS DUE COLORED HOME GUARDS THE JOHN BROWN STATE—ON WHOSE SHOULDERS DID HIS MANTLE FALL? WHOSE VEINS DOES HIS BLOOD STILL RUN. The state of Kansas with its colored population nearly as large as Kansas City, Kansas, holding a history of which its forefathers went down to their graves with a smile of well done in leaving a record for their sons and daughters and the generations to come, with a spirit of that immortal and martyr, John Brown. And now can it be with these few passing years her ancestry has degenerated from that spirit of humanity that their fathers so highly prized, but a fortnight ago? No, we can't be lieve it. At least, not yet awhile. A National Guard of colored men at this, the most serious crisis since the Civil war, would place Kansas among the highest and most patriotic states of the Union. See where New York, Illinois and Ohio stand today with the war department. We find colored regiments in the two former and a battalion in the latter, officered by their own, and we find they were among the first to be called to the border some months ago, and on the declaration of war with Germany the Eighth Illinois regiment were in a few days called out and are now doing service in Cuba. Kansas should not have been behind any of these states mentioned, and if her great state leaders do their duty it will not be long until a battalion of Negro National Guards will be formed upon her rostrum. It would not take as long to organize a good healthy battalion of colored men as it has to fill some of the companies since the call has been made, although they have been in existence for many years. There are plenty of efficient colored army men in this state who have the required executive and educational ability to command a battalion and they are ready at any moment's calling to respond. Governor Capper could not do a better act for the state and country at this time in making it possible for at least to organize a colored battalion, or if he thinks the country may be in need of it, a regiment. If we are to be called to go to the front for our country and flag, at least let us pitch our tents one night before orders to transport. HE MADE MONEY JUST AS HE HAD NEED OF IT. San rFancisco.—Whenever Charles E. Butler, negro, night janitor at the mint here, needed a little extra change he would go into the money room, put a little silver into the mold and make a new half dollar. Butler was arrested today. The small quantity of silver taken was not missed, as though he made money every night. A WAR TIME PLAY. The Senior class of Sumner High school will present on Wednesday evening, May 9th, their play "Her Friend, the Enemy," or "A War Time Play." It will be held in the auditorium of the Kansas City, Kansas, High school at the corner of Ninth and Minnensota. It is said the characters in this play are expected to excel any previous class play coming out of Sumner.

COMMITTEE ON HOMES FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONRESS. Nashville, Tenn.—At the meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, a reception committee with Rev. J. L. Harding, D.D. as chairman and Henry Allen Boyd as secretary was named to look after the Sunday School Workers who are expecting to attend the Twelfth Annual Session of the Sunday School Congress to be held in Nashville June 13 to 18. The committee has already held two meetings and the following notice was respectfully submitted for the information, of the Sunday School Workers: "All of those who are planning to attend the Sunday School Congress in Nashville, June 13 to 18, will please send in their correct names and addresses at once, so that they may be assigned to stopping places. Communications may be addressed to the committee at 523 Second Ave. N. Upon receipt of information of this kind, an assignment card, giving the nname of the party and the street address with whom the individual is to stop, will be sent. See'y Local Reception Committee. 523 Second Ave N. PEOPLE THAT'S GARDENING. While the people are gardening this year most every piece of ground available there are many who know but little about the soil or what kind of seed it is best adapted for. As potatoes are being the one largest seed planted and at their high cost they should be planted in soil of a sandy or mellow kind, as the clay soil we have here is too compact to allow the potato to develop. The sandy or loam earth will give way to the tuber as it grows. Another thing one should not plant all their garden at one time as it will mature at the same time and you will not be able to consume it, therefore you will have a waste. As many as two or three crops can be raised of some vegetables in one season so those who plant gardens should look well to the kind of seed used. HOME DRUG CO. GIVES TICKETS TO SCHOOL CHILDREN The Home Drug company at 1512 North Fifth street, issued free on last Saturday over one thousand tickets to school children to the matinee Saturday afternoon at the Dunbar theater at 1614 North Tenth street. The pictures were selected especially for the children showing how they should be loved and caressed to bring about a continued affection for child and parent. The little ones were delighted with the pictures and the Home Drug company certainly showed a spirit of humanity not taking into consideration the cost of making a thousand little hearts happy. FIRST BAPTIST SEWING CIRCLE. The sewing circle of the First Baptist church met Thursday, the 12th, at the home of Mrs. Carrie Harris, 1946 North Sixth street. There were twenty-four members present, offering was $14.51. The circle is making great preparations for their bazaar which will open June 4 to 11. Mrs. Harris is a lovely entertainer and many warm words were left by those present. The youngest boy of Elder Holmes has been quite sick.

THEY SAY— That a certain prominent minister of this city spoke against talking during collection, and succeeded in stopping this habit of some of his congregation in one day. A certain colored cafe down town was seen unloading DeCoursey's ice cream. If true, it ought to be astracised. A certain pastor is trying to have his members on time. It's all right, but when one has work or other duties, isn't it better to come to church a little late, than never? A certain young man enlisted for service although he was under age, but regretted it afterwards. NEGROES OF KANSAS PUTTING THEMSELVES ON RECORD. The negroes of Kansas are putting themselves on record in offering their services in defense of the nation's honor and safety. Governor Capper has received many calls and communications from organizations and leading citizens throughout the state tendering their service in any way to the best interests of the state and country at this momentous time We find many who are exempted from doing service, asking if they may be given an opportunity to do something at home for their country and humanity. The Negroes of Kansas can be depended upon when it comes to be known they are needed in any crisis that involves his state or nation. We may have a few who were born with a peck of bran in their cranium instead of an ounce of brain, but that is not uncommon to any race of people. The black man's blood contains more corpuscles than any other race, therefore its thickness is greater and that accounts for fearlessness, endurance and loyalty. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. Although the weather was somewhat inclement a large audience was present at the morning service and the pastor preached an able sermon. Mr. Buckner, who was converted, as if by a miracle, when near death, under the guidance of Elder Holmes, joined church at this service; also Mrs. Hill and others. At the evening service Elder Lowe, of India, gave an interesting narrative to a large audience. A large offering was given for God's work on this earth. Wednesday evening, April 25th, Blind Boone, the greatest wonder living, will have a concert in this temple. He is supported by clever artistic soloists. Don't miss this! NOTICE.

A WAR T THE SENIOR CLASS OF PRESENT "HER FRIEND A BEAUTILUL HOME WEDDING Mr. Walter Mitchell Cantrell and Miss Ida Mae Marr were married Monday evening, April 16th at 6:30 p. m. at their residence 2314 North Fourth street. Rev. D. Arthur Holmes read the ceremony. Just before the ceremony, Mrs. D. Arthur Holmes sang very sweetly, "The Dawning." Miss Beulah Douglass played the wedding March. Miss Marr and Mr. Cantrell came from the pink room into the living room and were married in front of the cut stone mantle. The bride wore a dainty costume of white taffeta and Georgette crepe and carried a basket of sweet peas and bridal roses. The groom wore a conventional black. The house was decorated with pink and white. On the colonades were two large vases with pink and white carnations. On the table in the dining room was a huge basket of pink and white carnations intermingled with bridal roses. Some beautiful presents were received, among them an electric grill, silver crumb tray, silver sandwich tray, mahogany clock, Big Ben clock, hand painted plates and a beautiful picture. Several telegrams of congratulations were received from relatives and out-of-town friends from Denver, Muskogee, Oakland, Calif., Des Molnes, Iowa; Langston, Okla.; Guthrie, Salina and Lawrence. Frozen dainties were served with pink and white cake. Miss Marr was born in Kansas City, Kas., and is a graduate of Sumner high school, taught in the city five years and one year in Shawnee, Okla., and was one of Kansas City's best teachers. Mr. Cantrell hails from Danville, Ill., and is a polished and intelligent young man. He is a graduate of Danville High school and has won several prizes in athletics—one a silver loving cup. mron. Only relatives and a few friends was if were present. under Mr. and Mrs. Cantrell will be at home to their friends after May 1. joined THE BRIDE AND GROOM'S HOME. Mr. and Mrs. Cantrell has one of the most beautiful and modern seven-room bungalows that has been built in the city. The entire design was planned by Mrs. Cantrell, and if one don't believe her taste and modern ideas were of the latest, just go out to the home and let her show you through. White people from both cities have heard of this bungalow and there have been but few days since its completion that some one has not been there to view inside and out. The designer has used every available place possible for both use and beauty. It's finished through and through in oak in the natural wood. The cut stone fire place is most elaborate in design and beauty. The colonades to the entrance of the dining room are exceedingly rich and the pink room is simply a dream with the whole house balancing up from living room to sleeping porch. The one central noticeable feature is the convenience of arrangement. "JANE, THE ORPHAN." At First A. M. E.

Office 834 Ne MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. TO SEGREGATE DeCOURSEY ICE CREAM. The colored people of Kansas City, Kansas and in the adjacent community have organized and pledged themselves to not handle, buy or eat DeCoursey ice cream or his "White Rose Butter" which he manufacturers. The colored people of this city and county have been consuming thousands of dollars of these two commodities for years, but when Mr. DeCoursey injected into his campaign for mayor the lily white and segregation issue, the colored citizens rose upon their dignity and manhood as American citizens and with enough of the fair-minded white citizens, crushed his ambition and debauchable issue in the grave of eternal death. The race has been so intimidated and villified for these many years, that they have commenced to learn to fight back and while they believe in peace and good will toward all mankind the time has come when the spurs should be worn on both boots. No Negro who has one iota of race dignity should handle, buy or eat DeCoursey ice cream or White Rose butter. When you go into any place of business where these goods are sold, don't forget to ask if it's DeCoursey's goods before you make your purchase and if they have only his, trade with some other business merchant and get what you want. If you find churches, lodges, ice cream parlors or fountains using DeCoursey ice cream refuse to buy it. If he had been elected at the last election we would have been segregated, so let us segregate his ice cream. Tell your neighbors, church, lodge society or any one you think might handle DeCoursey ice cream, why you will not eat or patronize any one handling it. There are other ice cream factories in the city that make just as fine ice cream as DeCoursey and some have better, so don't think you cannot get this luxury of some other dealer. Don't buy, eat, taste or smell De-Coursey Ice Cream or White Rose Butter. Made by the SEGREGATING CANDIDATE at the last election for mayor. ALONG THE LINE OF REASON— BRE'R RASTUS AND BRE'R JONES. Bre'r Rastus: Say Bre'r Jones, things foh us here now—ain't what dey uster be—is dey—can you give eny resin for it? Bre'r Jones: Well dar sho is er resin fur it. It was dis way. Some yeahs 'er go, some fellers what thout dey was wise, (it ain't never yet been proved dat dey wer) got in in dey heads, dat de wa to sho date dey was "some punkin," was to sho dat some body else, wasn't "some punkin" (The most destructive notion that ever came into any man's head.)

C., Evening Star, April 9th: Two and a half hours before the House of Representatives adopted the resolution declaring war, and five minutes before midnight, April 5, the first war measure found its way to the hopper at the speaker's right, being H. R. 2408, a bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquor within twenty miles of any camp, barracks, fort, post, navy yard, school or station of the Army, Navy or Marine Corps of the United States of America, being introduced by Representative Little of Kansas City, Kansas. The author of the bill saw service in the Spanish and Filipino wars for a year and a half in the 20th Kansas Regiment. He commanded that regiment during the first stages of its preparation and for considerable periods in the Philippines from time to time. He reached the conclusion that if evile brought on by liquor could be avoided, especially in the earlier days of organization, the efficiency of the soldiers would be increased about 30 per cent. So that night about 10 o'clock, he decided to endeavor to put his ideas into law, believing that the army would have from the beginning greatly improved sanitary conditions, a higher order of discipline and would much more rapidly develop into an efficient and useful force. Col. Edward C. Little, as secretary to the Governor of Kansas, raised the Kansas quota of 3,000 troops, secured the appointment of Fred Funston as colonel of the regiment, and accepted an appointment as Heutenant colonel, sharing with Gen. Funston and one other the honor of being the only persons who ever commanded that regiment in battle. Col. Little took part in a dozen battles in the Philippines, besides many skirmishes. He had an actual experience in taking raw troops, equipping and preparing them, transporting them, bringing them to the firing line and taking them through it. The Little bill presents the practical views of a soldier, and action upon it will be watched with interest. Topeka State Journal, April 13th: A letter will be sent by the women of the Good Government club, commending the bill regarding mobilization camps, introduced by Ed Little of Kansas City.

B. S. Smith at one time a leading attorney of this city, now of Minneapolis, was in the city this week calling on his old friends. He was called here to the bedside of a sick brother on the other side. Lawyer Smith's wife was a Miss Porter of this city and has several sisters living here.

From leakage of petrol spray the pilot may become dizzy, and the exhaust gases from the engine—carbon monoxide and dioxide—may cause headache, drowsiness and malaise, says a writer in the Lancet, discussing diseases familiar to airmen. The rarefied air at great elevations may induce the symptoms well known in balloonists, and Wells refers to a case of frostbite in an airman who had been exposed to 34 degrees of frost at an elevation of 15,000 feet. Psychasthenic symptoms—namely, loss of self-confidence and the resulting mental worry (aerosthenia)—are not uncommon, and prove that the victim has mistaken his sphere of activity. Flying is undoubtedly the job of a young man under thirty years of age, and not every young man is temperamentally or physically fitted to carry it through. Perfect eyesight is necessary to insure safe landing, correction with glasses being not without its dangers; perfect hearing is essential to detect the first indications of engine defect, and free movement of the joints of the lower limbs to control the steering gear. Fits and tendency to faint absolutely deter the aspirant from the air service. In one remarkable instance at Haslar an airman who fainted, with the result that the airplane dived nose downward 1,200 feet into a plowed field, escaped with such minor injuries that he was at first extremely loath to give up this branch of the service. WASHINGTON'S WILL POWER Kept His Pugnacity in Subjection, but Occasionally He Allowed Passion to Have Sway. It is related of John Adams that when Stuart exhibited his portrait of General Washington, Mr. Adams went to see it. After gazing at it for several minutes he exclaimed, "That's the portrait of a man who knew how to hold his tongue, which this old fool never did!" The portrait does indicate that the original could be reticent, but it also shows that he could control himself. The square, massive jaw, the full, broad-based nose, and the compressed lips express pugnacity and passion, such as require a strong will to keep them in subjection. Sometimes even Washington allowed his passion to have sway. ; When Glover's Marblehead fishermen and Morgan's Virginia riflemen were engaged in a rough and tumble fight, Washington leaped from his horse over the bars of the camp fence, dashed among the rioters, selzed two brawny riflemen by the throat and, shaking them at arms' length, subdued not only them, but the whole band. It was the victory due to commanding strength, presence and manner. The men saw that they must obey, and they obeyed. Appreciation of Authors. That Americans are not without appreciation of their great authors—after the great authors are dead—was demonstrated at a sale in New York city, where a collection of 33 holograph letters of Nathaniel Hawthorne, with engraved portraits, brought $2,000 from W. H. James. In the collection were letters to Hawthorne and his family from Emerson, Whittier, Bret Harte, Browning, Eugene Field and Irving. Two thousand dollars is a good, round price to pay for a few old letters, even if they were written by or to an author of the repute of Hawthorne. It is easy to imagine what Hawthorne would have thought on the subject if he could have foreseen this transaction when he was writing juvenile classics like the "Tanglewood Tales" and "Grandfather's Chair" for S. G. Goodrich, and receiving in remuneration sometimes no more than $50 a volume. Irish English. Many persons seem to see, or to hear, rather, something to be amused at in the soft Irish brogue. As a matter of fact, most of the words of the Irish "dialect" are not Irish at all, but the purest of English—English a trifle antiquated, it is true, but nevertheless the real thing. The ears of Milton, Dryden, Spencer and Chaucer would not have been surprised to hear an Irishman speak of "a rough say" or "a clane shirt." At the court of good Queen Bess the cultured Englishman carefully garnished his conversation with "goode" rings and brave "swoordes" and bored his friends with accounts of the smart sayings of the "childre" at "hoom." This was the English originally imported into Ireland by the cultured Irish, and the Irish have found it good enough to preserve.—Chicago Tribune. Bacon as Bait "We find baiting our mouse trap with bacon is a great advantage over mating cheese," advises a woman known as a good housekeeper. "Not only does the cheese become dry in a few days, but after a mouse has once been caught with a piece of it you can seldom use it a second time, for it seems to retain the mouse scent and scares the rest of them away. "Bacon, on the other hand, remains savory and enticing to the end. Never has our mouse trap been so popular. Since we first baited ours with bacon, about two months ago, we have not changed it once, and I am sure in that time more than twenty mice have been caught in the trap." Mr. James Hughes, of 2500 Tremont, was severely hurt Thursday and is in a very serious condition. Rev. J. R. Ransom left Sunday night for Washington and New York City to meet the Board of Extension of which he is a member. The Doctor will return in time to fill his pulpit Sunday morning. Mr. C. A. Franklin of Kansas City, Mo., will address the Forum Sunday on the subject, "Keep Step." Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Miller, 918 Walker avenue, and their two little girls have been on the sick list. The friends of Miss Lola Terrell will be pleased to know of her continued improvement, from her recent illness. Mrs. M. M. Owens who was called to Des Moines, Ia., to the bedside of a sick aunt, returned home this week stating there was but little improvement in her aunt's condition when she left. There be papers not of the Second district that speak of Colonel Ed Little with elevated eye brows when mentioning the fact that he voted against the declaration for war. Colonel Little is a patriotic citizen who proved his loyalty by responding to the call of his country in its hour of need; he has seen the elephant on the battle field; and he is a man we believe, whom his constituents have fullest confidence will discharge his duties guided by a broad and enlightened conscience in this National emergency. There is too much of a disposition among some of the fellows back home to prescribe a course for public men; to proceed to read the riot act to them unless they jump into their band wagon in these days when cool heads and brave hearts are so much in demand.

Walter Hogg of the junior class was the first student to answer the call of the president for volunteers for the United States army. He left Friday night for Jefferson City, Mo., where he will go into training before going into actual service. The boys are displaying a great deal of patriotism, whether they are really patriotic or not, by wearing small flaws on their collars. Wednesday the girls of the normal training class became patriotic also, and fastened the national colors on the teachers and the principal. They wore large ties of the same colors. The president recently asked everyone to plant a garden if possible, so as to relieve the country in its present food crisis. Miss Caution Davis has answered this call in another way, that is she is raising chickens. Mr. Rocsevelt Strickland of the sophomore class conducted the current events at the assembly Wednesday. Other members of the class gave further events. Following this a great deal of enthusiasm was accused by Mr. Bernethol Cotter, captain of the baseball team, who led in several school yells for the purpose of encouraging the boys in the game Friday against Lincoln high school. Prof. Lewis brought out the fact that Kansas City, Kansas, was the only city in the United States that organized a colored Red Cross association during the Spanish-American war. Say, have you heard about it? It will be the greatest event of its kind in the history of the school. We will tell you about it next week. ```markdown ``` If I Send You this Suit made to your measure in the latest style, would you be willing to keep and wear it, show it to your friends and let them see our beautiful samples and dab- ing new styles.

ANTHEM ALMOST COST MAN'S LIFE Egyptian Bandsmen Lose Music Sadly Needed in Greeting U. S. Consul. OFFICIALS ALL FUSSED UP Suggestion of "Marching Through Georgia," as Substitute for "Star-Spangled Banner," Accepted by American Diplomat. London.-The pomp and ceremony which surrounds the presentation of diplomatic credentials to potentates of Eastern countries by representatives of the United States, or of any other country, have developed many delicate and embarrassing situations. The Eastern mind attaches great importance to ceremonials and to make a favorable impression all diplomats must conduct themselves in strict accordance with precedents. A story regarding the arrival of Peter Augustus Jay, United States consul and diplomatic agent in Calro, Egypt, has reached London through Englishmen who have made Jay's acquaintance. It seems that the ceremony coincident to the presentation of credentials to the khedive requires a vast amount of preparation. Instead of the diplomat stepping to the street and hailing a hack to convey him to the royal palace, the khedive sends a procession of lancers, lackeys, buglers and torchbearers to conduct the stranger to his presence. When the procession reaches the palace gate the imperial band strikes up the national anthem of the country which the visitor represents and he is ushered in to its martial strains. The Music Is Lost. About a week before the khedive was to receive Consul Jay the master of ceremonies dashed up to the consulate and asked to see the new diplomat with every appearance of extreme nervousness. It is customary for the master of ceremonies to open a conversation by inquiring into the state of being of the consul and his family, with protestations of respect for his progenitors and immediate friends. But on this occasion the nervous messenger got right down to usliness. "Your excellency," he said, "the loathsome and unspeakably vile dog who is leader of the imperial band has had the effrontery but this very morning to crawl before me on his belly and with loud lamentations to tell me that he has mislaid or lost the music of the 'Star-Spangled Banner.' The punishment for his crime will be terrible, but in the meantime if the son of a dog and a thousand dogs cannot find the music for the 'Star-Spangled Banner' would it suit your Excellency if the band plays 'Marching Through Georgia' when your excellency arrives at the palace gate?" Being a true diplomat, Consul Jay rose to the occasion. It might also be stated that Jay was born north of the Mason and Dixon's line, otherwise complications might have ensued. "It would please me greatly," sald Jay, "if the imperial band should play 'Marching Through Georgia' upon my arrival." "Oh, Say, Can You See." Thereupon the master of ceremonies backed himself out of the room with many assurances of his thankfulness and protesting between thanks that regardless of whether the dog of a band master found the music or not, he and all of his players would have the skin removed from their backs by public flogging; they would be boiled in oil, drawn and quartered. On the morning of the presentation, Consul Jay stepped into an open-faced "punkln" carriage drawn by prancing chargers. Two lackayes stood behind. The others walked ahead and behind. The carriage was preceded by a troop of lancers and buglers. As the carriage entered the postern gate Consul Jay was prepared to hear the air of "Marching Through Georgia," but instead, there was a crash of cymbals, and bandsmen, with all the force of their lungs and all the spirit they possessed sent up the good old strains of "Oh, Say, Can You See!" And Jay passed into the palace through a lane of dazzling smiles from bandsmen who had escaped a horrible death. They played the American national anthem as it has seldom been played before. Portland, Ore.-The highest ten virtues are to be taught the school children of Oregon. State Superintendent of Instruction J. A. Churchill has completed listing answers of more than 1,000 teachers in Oregon as to what they consider the ten virtues that should be given foremost place in the moral instruction planned for the common schools of the state. The virtues receiving the highest number of votes in the order of preference are: Honesty, truthfulness, cleanliness, obedience, respect, courtesy, patriotism, kindness, industry and punctuality. CORNELI Mr. C. Herald of Brooklyn is an adept with the crochet needles. He recently completed a table cloth which experts who know the value of laces made by hand say is easily worth $1,500. SAYS U-BOATS ARE QUITTING Hint Comes From London That New Method of Warfare Brings in Many. London.—Under the title "A Londoner's Diary" the Evening Standard prints the following, which there is reason to believe is not lacking in substantial truth: "Some time ago I referred to the rumors concerning 'docks full' of captured submarines, and warned my readers against taking them too literally. I am now in position to say that there is more substance than usual behind the present gossip of successes against submarines. "Whether anything has gone wrong with the supply ships, or whether the Hun crews dislike the task, the fact remains that there have been surrenders. I understand too that the men of our destroyers are elated at the results of a certain new method of fighting submarines. It would be indiscreet to give particulars, but no harm is done by stating that the great difficulty of detecting the presence of a submarine has been met with considerable success. It is, as Admiral Jellicoe hinted, only a matter of time." CHEW CORDITE TO GET TIPSY Women and Girls, Munition Workers in Great Britain, Use Explosive for Exhilaration. London.—Officials of the ministry of munitions have discovered that a good deal of the "drunkenness" attributed to women and comparatively young girls is due to another and hitherto unsuspected cause—the chewing of cordite, the smokeless explosive used in the stell of cannon and the ammunition of small arms. The explosive is being used as a sort of "plick-me-up" by the tired munition workers, but its effect on their health is very injurious and remedial measures are being taken by the authorities. Cordite, when chewed, has all the exhilarating effects of a highly stimulating drug and cannot be tampered with except at great risk. Its effect on the nervous system is immediate and ultimately deadly. Cordite consists roughly of about 58 parts of nitroglycerin, 37 parts guncotton and 5 parts of mineral jelly. Each cartridge contains 60 cylindrical stands of cordite. KIPLING QUITS IN PROTEST Leaves Society of Authors Because of Charity Books Published in Aid of War. London.—The Times re-prints from the British Weekly the following extract: "Rudyard Kipling, inclosing his check for $500 toward the pension fund, has sent his resignation from the Society of Authors, on the ground that the action of the committee and its acceptance by his fellow members prove that he is altogether out of sympathy with the present views of the society. "Mr. Kipling's resignation, which apparently is caused by a difference of opinion as to the charity books published in aid of the war, is greatly regretted by the committee. He has been a member of the society for 25 years." WOULD HAVE NO TOWN CLOCK Hotel Keeper Seeks Injunction Against City Timepiece, Saying It Will Wake His Guests. Wichita, Kan.—S. J. Smalley, proprietor of the Coronado hotel, across the street from the city hall, employed a lawyer to obtain an injunction to prevent Mayor Bentley and the commissioners from installing a clock in the city hall tower. For years citizens have petitioned administrations to beautify the unsightly boarded-up tower with a clock, and the Bentley administration let a contract for a $1,500 clock. Smalley alleges that the striking of the clock will wake up his guests every hour at night.
