COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES FOR NEGROES. Adequate college and university education for colored people is urged by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the United States Bureau of Education, department of the interior, in the twovolume report on Negro Education just issued by the department. "If college education is of value to any group, surely it is to those who are to be the leaders of the colored people. Only a broad-minded leadership with a thorough grasp of human development can understand the popular difficulties resulting from the close proximity of such widely varying races as the black and white people of the southern states. "The race must have physicians of real skill and the spirit of service to lead against the insanitary conditions that are not only threatening the group itself but also its white neighbors. It must have religious teachers who can relate religion to the morals of the individual and to the common activities of the community. It must have teachers of secondary schools who have had a college education in the great modern sciences and in the historical development of civilization." Dr. Jones points out that despite high ideals and notable enthusiasm on the part of the race and its benefactors most of the colored institutions calling themselves colleges are poorly equipped and inefficiently organized and administered. Only a few institutions at present have the student body, equipment, and teaching force of a genuine college, but a number of institutions do some work of a college grade. The location of two or more colleges for Negroes in Selma, Ak.; Little Rock, Ark.; Atlanta, Ga.; New Orleans, La; Holly Springs and Jackson, Miss.; Greensboro, N. C.; Columbia and Orangeburg, S. C.; Nashville, Tenn.; Austin, Marshall and Waco, Tex., indicates a wasteful duplication of collegate effort. ```markdown ``` Any plan for further development of college and university education for Negroes should, according to Dr. Jones, take into consideration income, plant, teaching force, and present location of schools offering more or less college work. Every institution should realize that success and honor and human services are not necessarily attained through a college department or even through an industrial or agricultural plant." The bureau's report suggests that all agencies interested in Negro education cooperate in the development of a few institutions of university and college grade. There seems to be general agreement that Howard University at Washington, and Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn., are the most promising institutions for development as universities. It is suggested that first class colleges be located at Richmond, Va., Atlanta, Ga., and Marshall, Tex. Still another group of institutions should be developed into junior colleges or institutions doing two years of college work. A number of institutions are already offering courses of this grade but they are all in need of more equipment and larger income. These institutions, Dr. Jones points out should make generous provision for teacher-training courses, both in their secondary and college classes. "The education of Negroes in America undoubtedly requires institutions that are genuinely of college grade," says Dr. Jones. "The first step in the realization of this need is the agreement that all shall combine in an effort to develop a few well selected institutions. The second requirement is the determination on the part of the institutions that every college activity shall be adapted to the demands of modern society." THEY SAY— The new pastor at the Fjrst A. M. E. church is a fine man and a good financier. Rev. D. A. Holmes will make the Red Cross organization permanent soon. Some wish to organize a Navy League. Prof. Milton Collins asked the Poetess Laureat if she would not write a poem to stop this hot weather. She hasn't yet succeeded. Miss Scott of St. Louis, who has been visiting her aunt and family, Mrs. S. H. Thompson on North Eighth street, returned to her home last Sunday.

EXTRACT FROM AN EULOGY ON OLIVER BROWN, DELIVERED BY J. J. LEWIS ON BEHALF OF THE SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL. Christian Friends and Fellow Citizens: Sad, Indeed, is the occasion which brings us here this hour. Death in obedience to the mandate of Heaven, has summoned one of earth's brightest and loveliest creatures to quit the walks of this life. Death has claimed our beloved young friend, Oliver Brown, 'ere he had reached the prime of life, 'ere he had realized the faintest part of life's dream. Buried in feelings of profound sorrow and heartfelt sympathy, we have gathered around his lifeless form to do last tributes of respect to his memory and to offer such words of consolation to his bereaved parents and relatives as will give them a faint idea of how dearly loved and highly esteemed was the lamented dead. On behalf of the faculty and students of the Summer High school, I am here to briefly review the life of this young man. Standing here, as I do, gazing upon the lifeless form of this young man, my mind reverends to the time when, clad in knee trousers, with book and slate in hand, he, along with a number of small children, enrolled in the primary class of the Douglass school of which I was then principal. He then, happy, young, robust and smiling, manifested, like the majority of small children, a desire to promptly perform all tasks assigned him and to render cheerful obedience to his teacher. His career as a student in the Douglass schools of our city was such as excited the administration of the supervisor, all his teachers and fellow students, in that he was always diligent in study, prompt in obedience and correct in department. Having completed in a satisfactory manned the course of study prescribed for the ward schools of our city, Oliver Brown in the spring of 1915, was promoted to the Sumner -High school. In the fall term of 1916, Oliver enrolled in the Freshman class of Summer High and was regular in attendance until his health failed. By the teachers and students of the Summer High, Oliver was esteemed an exemplary young man whose high aim and lofty ideals were designed to make him a potent factor in the uplift of the race of which he is a member. As a church member and Christian worker, Oliver stood foremost among the young people of the Eighth Street Baptist church of which he was an active, a progressive and an efficient member. By the several persons in whose employment Oliver was from time to time, he was considered genial, affiable, trustworthy and reliable. By his parents, Oliver was esteemed a loving, obedient son whose reverence for them was without limit. At the date of his death Oliver, was 16 yrs., 6 mos., 15 days old. Thus at an age when youth's dreams are wildest when great plans for the future are generally formed this dear young man was taken from us. His loss we deplore for among the many young men of Oliver's age in Kansas City, Kansas, it would be difficult to find one whose general conduct has won for him the love, esteem and confidence of the public equal to that which Oliver's conduct had won for him. Through weeks of silent suffering Oliver remained cheerful and hopeful of recovering his health, yet, on becoming conscious of the fact that he was growing weaker and weaker, he Christian-like calmly resolved to submit to the inevitable. Looking calmly into the future, Oliver did not falter and with a herosim born of his supreme faith in Jesus of Nazareth, he approached the end triling with his latest breath the high not of exultation as one who knoucketh at the gate of eternal morm. In the death of Oliver Brown, the community has lost a young man whose life, though brief, stands worth of emulation. Well might we say, "the good and fair die young." The young people of the Eighth St. Baptist church gave a good program Friday night at M. & O. hall. Among the principal features were the Alabama Male Quartet, a paper by a young man of the church and a poem by Mrs. M. C. Matthews. Rev. D. B. Jackson in his remarks praised the program and the poem especially. Miss Topp made a good mistress of ceremonies. Mise Clark of Lawrence, Kas, Visiting Mrs. L. T. Green. BUILD MORE CAR LINES IS DEMAND EXTENSIONS DUE CITY SHOULD BE MADE NOW, SAYS PAT- TRON. PEOPLE WANT BETTER CARS. DEVELOPMENT OF CITY DEPENDS ON ABILITY TO OBTAIN FA- CILITIES. I am bringing to the people's attention the improvements due this city by the unfulfilled pledges of the Kansas City Railways company. There is the Thirteenth street line that has been dragging on for years, and when it is completed it will be operated with the hungry looking goat type of cars, namely the small seven hundreds. Are the people on Thirteenth street going to stand for that type of car without a protest, or do they care? The people and public not only owe it to yourselves but to the city at large to get better cars. Then there is Eighteenth street, boiling paved and a space left in the middle for cars. How about it, people on Eighteenth street, have they petitioned the mayor to intercede for them? If they haven't, its their duty to do so. This should be a separate line extending far out into the suburbs. Then there is the Minnesota avenue extension that should have been built years ago. Is it our town, our mayor or the people themselves who are to blame? The real estate firms could help. The mayor could help. We need more car lines and good cars. Other improvements would follow. Don't be afraid to express your desires. If I was mayor we would get what we want or you people would walk to work. The Missouri side gets all the extensions she wants. Miles and miles have been built in the last year. Do you want your city to expand and be prosperous, or do you expect the street car company to come and ask you if you want a car line just in front of your house? We are losing a million or more each year in the way of improvements. In other words, we are stading still. If Missouri car lines can be extended why not ours? You know what the mayor of Rosedale told Kansas City Railways Co., and how quick they responded with better cars. SALINA, KANSAS Mrs. James DePriest and Mrs. Asher Hunt entertained Thursday afternoon of last week at Oakdale park a number of visiting K. P. friends and other guests, to an elaborate picnic dinner. Those who had the honor of being the guests of these two hospitable families were: Mrs. Mary Grayson, Mrs. Claudine Williams, Mrs. Anna Bryant, Miss Jones牛壁, S. P. West, Pauline Cole, Rev. J. R.

Milton Mickens entertained a number of his friends with joy rides and other entertainments during the K. P. convention. Mr. W. C. Woodley was a busy man during the grand session of K. P. s in taking many of the visitors out sight seeing in his big car. Mr. Woodley could be seen going night and day. W. W. Shobe, chairman of the local committee, kept his big car moving until the last visitor left. Also Dr. Wilson, who used an extra amount of gas during the week, while others did their share of entertaining their guests. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE A larger crowd than usual-attended this church Sunday morning and evening. Pastor Holmes preached in his usual apostolic manner. At night he preached from Revelations, seventh chapter, which will be followed up the next Sunday. All who can should bring their Bibles. His text for Sunday, August 5th, will be from Rev., 5th chapter. That is also Sacrament Day, and the day for the rally in which $1,000 is to be given. All clubs and auxiliary remember. An African lady talked Sunday night at this church also the dean of Western College at Macon, Mo. The collection was large. The Sunday school of this church plucked at Heathwood park Thursday and the large crowd was refreshed with ice cream, lemonade, cake and all summer delicacies and enjoyed themselves. The B. Y. P.

NO. 48 Eal Train TO ORGANIZE MILITARY COMPANY There is a chance for our young men or even for that matter, middle age 'as well, to get a good military training right at home. Sergeant Thos. Griffin, retired, and at present custodian at the Federal building, offers his 'services for an hour' or two each evening, in drilling a company in the late tactics and those who wish to enroll in this company can do so by seeing Sergeant Griffin, either at his home, 415 State, or at the post office, or the edifice of The Advocate. K! P's HAVE SPECIAL CAR. The delegation of K. P.s. from here to the Grand Lodge last week to Salina, traveled in a special chair car, to and from the convention, which made the trip pleasant and comfortable. Editor Kennedy looks after these accommodations. A number of others joined the party here from F. Scott and Galena and Leavenworth, Lawrence, Independence and Topesa joined the delegation en route. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Those who did not permit the heat to keep them home Sunday morning, felt they had been more than repaid in listening to the very excellent sermon by Rev. Bowren. His text was, "The Murmurings Against God, and its Due Consequences." There were a number of visitors present, and they are always welcome. The choir was highly complimented on the high class music at the morning service. Miss Goldie Duke, of Topeka, Kansas, is in the city, the guest of Mrs. Junius J. N. Gray, en route to Chicago, where she will spend the remainder of the summer with her sister. Mrs. T. W. Green of Parsons, Kansas, and President of the Women's State Mite Missionary society, remained over Sunday with friends and attended services at First A. M. B. church. Mrs. Green is the wife of Rev. T. W. Green, Jr., one of the conference's strong and popular educators. QUINDARO, KANSAS. We are glad to know that the latest numbers in attendance at the midslony meeting went away undisturbed. Mrs. Green is a tireless worker. Mrs. McCampbell and the good members of the Missionary society acquitted themselves well. Mrs. J. A. Brown and daughter Hazel have returned from spending the week end with relatives in St. Louis. Dr. and Mrs. Kealing are expected home next week. We trust they are much improved in health. An unknown man was found dead in a hoppen in Highland last Monday. He was feeding the hogs. His little dog kept watch over the body, thereby protecting it from the hogs. A dog is a man's best friend. We are so wrapped up in self and formality that we will not speak with out an introduction. Where is the old time hospitality? Mr. Ike Reed is able to move about just a little. He has to be careful. That foot is not ready for use yet. The mind is willing but the foot isn't. Let all be careful. A moment and weeks of suffering and hardship follow. Presiding Elder Owens was pleased with the third quarter's report of Allen chapel. The five years of Reva. Jones and Owens end this fall. Sorry to have to lose both at once. Rev. J. H. Moore has been retired from the Murdock Coffee and Spices company after many years of service. The company gives him a pension for the rest of his life and should his wife outlive him will look after her. This is a fine tribute to faithful service. Young folks, take notice.

WHOLE WHEAT.FLOUR. HOW PEOPLE WERE PREJUDICED AGAINST IT AND WHAT A TIME GRAHAM HAD. The Globe: In last Thursday's issue of The Globe there was an article by Helen Louise Johnson on National Bread Economy and Sharing Grain With Cattle. I would like to give a few facts that Miss Johnson evidently overlooked. In the first place, Miss Johnson overlooked the fact that years ago people were prejudiced against using what now would call "whole wheat flour" And what a time Graham had to get them to use what now we call Graham flour. I am an old man, 70 years old, and I can remember how we would take 15 or 20 bushels of wheat, go 10 or 15 miles to the mill, wait until) our grist was ground, and the middlings—now cailed shorts, were always carried home in a separate sack. It was esteemed the best part of the flour, especially for biscuit, for it was so sweet and had the natural taste of the wheat, which flour as it is now milled does not have. Miss Johnson says there is a larger proportion of gluten in whole wheat flour than there is in white flour. She overbooks the fact that all the manufacturers of wheat cereals try to have as much gluten in the flour they use as possible, for the reason that it does not take as much of such flour to give the body the necessary food units. Miss Johnson admits that as now milled we do not get all out of the wheat that we should and we sell what we can't get out for cattle feed. She tells us to use corn meal to make up for what we do not get out of the wheat. Miss Johnson tells us it is not proved whether it is better to make or buy bread. I will admit the way some make bread it would be better to buy their bread, but if she means cheaper, I will give a few facts of the H. C. L. on the bread question. A few days ago flour was $12 per barrel, and quoting from an "ad" of the Southwestern Milling Co. In the Kansas City Globe of May 29, they state that a 24lb sack of Aristos will make 682 1 oz, light rolls, or 421.2 lbs of bread. As there are eight sacks to a barrel, it would make 340 lbs of bread, and a baker would make 544 10c loaves of bread of 10 oz each, so the consumer pays $54.40 for the bread from a $12 barrel of flour. If he wants to use the 15c loaves, which are the cheapest, he will get loaves that are marked 18 oz. The baker will make 302 loaves from the barrel of flour and the consumer pays $45.30 for his $12 barrel of flour. Let us carry it a little further. In using the 18 oz. loaves you pay $9.70 for a bushel of wheat, while if you use the 10 oz. loaves you pay $11.65 for your bushel of wheat. Now if all bread was sold at state bread prices, the 540 10 oz. loaves would cost the consumer $27.20, and the 302 18 oz. loaves at 71.2c, would cost the consumer $22.65, leaving $10.65 to be divided between the baker and grocer. eral particulars. The barometric pressure, cloudiness, humidity and especially the rainfall have been considerably below the average; whereas the amount of wind mileage and the number of hot days have gone far above the average. The heaviest rainfall in Kansas yesterday seems to have been at Eureka, 1.66 inches. One and ten-hundreth inches fell at Amarillo. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Lorin O.

Kansas City is to have a real bathing beach, and soon, too. Though plans for a pool and beach at City Park have been under way, for some time, final details are now ready and kids will be advertised for within a few days. Commissioner Brown today stated that the department had arranged so that it will be able to spend $20,000 in making the proposed pool a fine one. It will range from one to twenty feet deep and will be the equal of any in this section of the country. At the expenditure of less than a $5 bill Commissioner Brown has provided a dandy place for the youngsters, and even for some of the grown-ups, to get cooled off in Klamm Park. A spring in the park provides a flow of water of about ten gallons per minute. By placing a small dam across the creek the park department now has a pool from a foot to four feet in depth and it's cold water, too. From an overhanging tree a rope has been suspended and the youngsters have a great time swinging out from the bank over the water and dropping in. That the youths think it is a fine thing is evidenced by the fact that 153 took advantage of the chance to get cooled off Saturday afternoon. The park department has installed a number of Dutch ovens and camp tables which are being taken advantage of by plenickers. Rev. T. J.

London, Aug. 2.—The text of an order from the kaiser to his people on the occasion of the third anniversary of the war is taken here as a renewed bid for peace by the German autocracy. It is regarded as significant that this proclamation is issued simultaneously with the opening of the allied offensive in Flanders which already has accomplished more than was hoped for this early drive and which threatens the German line, in a vital sector. The consensus of opinion is that Germany books forward with the gravest years to another year of war and is making every effort consistent with self respect, which the autocracy must maintain before its own subjects, in attempting to obtain a favorable peace. The kaiser's proclamation warns the German people that still greater hardships are to come and urge them to renewed sacrifices. It contains the incitation, according to the view expressed here, to negotiations. To Strike More Powerful Blows. With better weather prevailing, the Anglo-French armies in Belgium are preparing for the second phase of their gigantic drive against the Germans. Blows more powerful than those struck against the German positions on Tuesday are looked for. A fiery gash, stretching 40 miles across Belgium from Lens to the sea, marks the scene of the new Franco-British offensive. The number of German prisoners taken in the first 48 hours of the fighting around Ypres was estimated today at about 6,000, including 100 officers of all ranks. While German counter assanks in the sectors of St. Julien and Westdoek were partially successful, reports today were that the Germans were moving their headquarters eastward indicating they fear for the safety of their West Flanders front. The fighting so far is believed to be merely a prelude to a vast enterprise which Field Marshal Halg planned against the Germans. The action may continue with varying degrees of intensity for weeks. German military cottle declare the allied attacks were made with such numbers of men as the Germans had never faced before in a single battle. These experts believe the Anglo-French armies will try to clear the Belgian coast of Germans and that the chief objectives are Antwerp and Zeeburgge. Earth, Air and Sea Flight. Rumors of a plan for a great aerial bombardment of the submarine bases at Ostend Brugges and Zeeburggee in connection with the infantry offensive are heard. Its object would be to clear the Belgian coast of the German "hornet nesta" of submarines. Warships available for inshore fighting, monitors, torpedo boats, destroyers and other light draft vessels also are said to be massed for an attack in an effect to turn the German wing along the sea. Indications are that if this combined drive from the air, land and sea is made against the Germans it will not be until the ground has dried out, as infantry operations are hazardous at this time.

That Canada has gained not only nationalhood and consciousness of national strength from her participation in the war, but is also aiming at a western British Empire, second in size only to Russia and with a range of climate and a variety of products to rival the United States, is the opinion of a writer in By-Water magazine published in Montreal, urging Canadians to study the trade future of Canada in the West Indies. The Greater Canada of which he writes, would include all the British possessions of the western hemisphere. England is said to regard this formation of a new "imperial unit" with favor, as a measure of protection to her outlying possessions in the scheme of Imperial federation which is being freely discussed in London. Canada has earned the right to consideration in any plan affecting the empire, or other future trade development. The West Indies are favorable to such a union, even if it should be, in the end, no more than a customs union, for the political protec- Washington, D. C., July 31.

Information that would disclose the location of American units or eventual or actual position of the American forces at the front. 6.

There has always been a close feeling of relationship between Canada and the West Indies. Halifax has had direct cable communication with the West Indies for many years, and since 1880 one of the important divisions of the Canada Steamship Lines, Limited, has operated a good-sized fleet of steamers in the trade.

GAS TO CITY AT 60 CENTS SAYS BOOTH Federal Judge's Decree Was Announced at Minneapolis This Morning OTHER CITIES 50 CENTS Transportation of Natural Gas Is Held to Be Interstate Commerce HITS K. C. K. CONTRACT Old Agreements Prior to Receivership Are Not Binding On Receivers Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 1.—A decree announced today by Judge Wilbur Booth, sitting here on the injunction case brought by the Kansas Natural Gas company against the Kansas State Utilities commission, provides for a rate of 60 cents for natural gas in the two Kansas Citys. All other towns north of Thayer will pay 50 cents a thousand feet for gas. The court ruled it had no jurisdiction in the transportation of gas to Missouri towns, since that comes under the class of intersetate commerce. It also decreed any agreements made by the Kansas Natural Gas company with other companies prior to the receivership are not binding on the receivers. It is assumed in Kansas City, Kas, in the absence of a full text of the decision, that Judge Booth does not consider the 60 cent rate as restrictive, and that it is a legitimate price for the Doherty interests, now controlling the supply, to charge. However there is some relief to be found in the fact that it is 40 cents lower than Mr. Doherty's representatives here threatened to charge. Judge Hugh J. Smith, city counselor, returned to Kansas City, Kas., from Minneapolis this morning before the decision was announced. What stand this city will take on the matter, or what additional steps are to be taken, cannot be determined until the decree is entered and all the facts are in possession of the legal department and the commissioners. "The court is in charge of the gas property under receivership proceedings, and this is an administrative order." Judge Smith said this afternoon. "There apparently is nothing for us to do but pay the rate, as to appeal from such an order to a higher court would mean that before the case could be decided the property would be out of the court's hands." STATE CAN'T GIVE BEER TO MINERS Topeka, Kas., Aug. 1.—Governor Arthur Capper today announced it is not within his power to grant special privileges to miners in violation of the bone dry law. "Much as I would deplore such a strike as the one threatened, I am powerless to give special dispensations to any class," the governor asid. "I have taken steps to have good drinking water provided the men. But I am in favor of teh strict enforcement of the dry law, and see no reason why the men should be given beer, in direct opposition to state legislation. Pittsburg, Kas., Aug. 1.—Virtually all ten miners working in District 14 have been called to a mass meeting at Franklin, nine miles from Pittsburg, at 23:0 o'clock, to jotex against the Kansas bone dry law. Eight hundred workers in Wier City and Central and Western mines walked out today in sympathy with the movement. D. G.

London, Aug. 1.—In charging in a driving rain storm, the Germans made futile attempts to recapture the ground lost to the Anglo-French forces in the gigantic drive on the Belgium battle ground yesterday. Efforts were made to recover La Basseville on the Franco-Belgian border. All attempts failed. With La Basseville occupied by the British the strong German position at Warneton is menaced. South of the Ypres-Comines canal the British pressed forward, extending and widening their new line. Paris, Aug. 1.—A gain by the French on the Alise front and the repulse of the powerful German thrusts at Verdun were reported by the French war office today. In spite of a rain storm which lasted all night on the Belgian battle field the French held the ground won yesterday and consolidated te new line, the official Comique said.

Ave. Bell Phone 180 Grand 5th and Oakland Ave WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT DEVOTES: THREE COLUMNS TO CONGRESSMAN FROM SECOND KANSAS DISTRICT. to Yale—some day, one of those wonderful days in stories when wonderful things happen. My mother was from Connecticut, and, of course, it was her vision that saw me in Yale. * * * Well, one day I was dressed and sent to school. I was 5, but quite old enough to discover immediately that the school they'd put me in was not 'Yale,' nor anything like the place my mother told me about. It fact it was the primary department of the female secondary in the town—a high grade, fine institution, but no place for a Yale student. I got along for a day or two, and then my mother asked me how I liked it. 'Oh, not much,' I said, 'why didn't you send me to Yale like—like you said?' Now that is the true story of the humiliating beginning of my education, as it is recorded in the family annals and as my mother told it for years. It was one of her stock stories!" Cottonel Little got up on the chain again and turned the electric fan to the right. "How's that?" he asked, "there's certain ysome way of getting wind out-of that thing as well, as noise. Well, we went to Kansas and settled in Oathe-while I was still a very small youngster. Of course I went to school and I can remember of sitting at my desk and staring out of the window at the long pack trains of mules and horses, wagons and cattle going-through over the soil. "We moved from Onathe to Abilene, which was the great cattle center, the original idea of some clever fellow from Illinois who set up sign posts all over the country directing herders to drive your cattle to Abilene," an objective point to the men coming up Texas and the territory with no place to go, until they saw the name of Abilene, which settled it. We lived on a farm just outside of town and used drive in to school with the Indians when they took in their wood. When we went in on the wood in the wagon-box and the Indiana drive, to them, she told the wood in the wagon-box and the Indiana drive, to them, she told the wood in the wagon-box and the Indiana drive, to them, she told the wood in the wagon-box. Not always, but frequently, All the two boys earlier stopped her suggestions for confidential talks as to what I should do and when I grew up. I knew someone that is how I decided to hire lawyer. Any way I was going swimming-one day, another boy and PETER H. myself, and we passed the office of my school teacher's husband, who was a lawyer. I peeked in the door, liked the looks of things and said to the other fellow, 'That's what I'm going to do.' I told the same thing at home later and I supposed the family passed it on, because some men calling on my father soon after began to 'tease me about it.' They told me no man could be a successful lawyer who didn't lie—that they were an awful set and all that. I was duly impressed, but not convinced. I just kept still about what they said, turned it over, and then in an inspired moment knew they'd been fooling me! Yes, those were the great days. I played with the Indians, chased, buffalo with a stick, played ball, fished, had all the good times a healthy boy could have. I suppose I kept it up when went through college. Anyway, I didn't miss anything I wanted that I can recall—from degrees to sports—and to this day I like a good game of baseball better than anything I know of. I learned to play golf in Egypt." "How did you happen to get into the diplomatic service?" "That was just one of the chances of fortune. I had a good law practice then (it was hard sledding at first) and had become more or less identified with public affairs when the consul at Cairo died. He had been a classmate of Harrison at Miami—John Anderson, and to keep the appointment in kansas, I suppose, I was given the place to fill out the unexpired term. Well, it was a change! From the prairies and the wide west; from the town where Wild Bill held forth (the figured in some stories, I afterward wrote); and the gentlemen, did not wear dress suits for dinner—to the end of the give—it was, as I Osborne—he'd been minister to Mexico, and I asked him what I had to know. He said, 'Not a — thing!' I asked him what I had got to get and the answer was the same—I suppose to reassure me! Just as I was leaving he said, 'Oh, by the way, you have a dress suit?' 'Nd.' I stopped 'shack still. I never had one' in my life. I couldn't think for the moment of anyone who had, unless, since he mentioned it, perhaps the governor himself. 'Well,' he advised, 'you better get one.' I did. I bought it in Paris and it was just right. And since we're on the subject the next one I bought in Tokio on my way home from the Philippines—funny, wasn't it?" "Of course your experience in Cairo is another story all by itself?" someone questioned. "I suppose so. At any rate, it was mighty interesting, and there were associations formed and friends made that I cherish inmeasurably. Just a little of me as consul broke into literature—in a recent issue of a popular magazine, Richard Harding Davis dragged me in—although in the beginning it was only in his personal letters to his mother—but they've been published, and no one could have enjoyed them more than I have. We were fast friends; he dedicated to me his book, "The Rufers of the Mediterranean." But did you read those letters? I stand fr everything but the Alpine hat, and even that, I'll ignore, since he said I was just like Tarvin in Kipling's 'Naualahka.' That was an awufty thing to say of a man, but then Davis was generous, and one in ten thousand—we'll not see his like again!" * * * Although the letters were published only a few months ago, the intimate account of Mr. Davis' meeting with Consul General Little in Cairo is irresistible when one is to write about Representative Little in Washington. To be sure, he is more than 20 years older; he is stouter, and his hair is white; but his personality has the same distinction or originality and of spontaneous sincerity that characterized the consul general in Egypt. "Our consul general here is a very young man," Mr. Davis wrote in one of the letters from Calro, published in the Metropolitan, "and he showed me a Kansas paper when I called on him which said I was in the east and would probably call on Ed Little." ("That was Bill White," Mr. Little explained, "that wrote that about Davis—Wiliam Allen White.") "He is from the interior and considers Kansas City a great metropolis. He is the most typical stage American I ever met. He is very civil to me and gives me his carmages and outriders with gold clothes and swords whenever I will take them, but he makes me blush and laugh at the same time. He calls his soldier servant 'My Lord,' and 'Your Royal Highness,' and says 'Merry Christmas' to him whenever the soldier calls him 'Your Excellency.' He wears a frock coat and an Alpine hat." ("Now we cut that out," Mr. Little laughed.) "I went up to the Pyramids yesterday and I am very sore today. Little had never been either, so we went together and met Stanford White and the Emmets there, and we all went up. I would rather go into Central Africa than do it again. . . . Little and I hired two donkeys and called them Gallegher and Van Bibber and raced them. My donkey was so little that they couldn't see him, only his ears. Gallegher won. The donkey boys called it Von Vobey, so I don't think it will help the sale of the book. . . . I talked and Little talked about me, and the knedive pretended to be very much honored. . . . Little seemed to amuse him very much and Little treated him exactly like a little boy who needed to be cheered up. I think in one way it was the most curious contrast I ever saw. Ed Little of Abilene, Kan., telling the ruler of Egypt not to worry, that he had plenty of years in which to live and that he would get ahead of them all yet. Those were, not, his words, but that was the tone, and he was perfectly friendly and sincere about it. He is just, like Tarvin in the 'Nauhaka.' I heard him telling the guides on the top of the Pyramid of Cheops that 'Abilene, sir, is the city of America.'" .. "Yes, Richard Harding Davis was a brilliant fellow, a wonderful, youth and a great man," Mr. Little said, "and knowing him was one of the chief pleasures of my consulship in that most interesting land." "There were other interesting people you came to know?" "Oh, yes. Lord Cromer lived not far from my house, and I knew General Kitchener. We all attended the little Episcopal church together, and met formally and informally." "You must recall things about Kitchener?" "Not many delinite things; only in a general, pleasant way do I recall him today. You know how very generally it has been discussed—the fact that he never married. There have been all sorts of speculations that he had an early love affair and was true to its memory; that he was a woman hater; that he was wedded to his profession; all sorts of stories have been told and published to explain why he never married. Now, I don't know either. I do know that he was not a woman hater, because he was one of the most charming men in a company I ever saw, and distinctly at his ease where there were women. But one day, when we had talked about our two houses, the expense and all that kind of thing. I congratulated him on his splendid establishment his magnificent salary, and regretted there was no gracious lady to preside over it all. He was a tail, bronzed, striking figure; he was standing, and as he spoke he spoke grimly, I thought, 'I wouldn't marry the best woman on earth,' he said. "Another time we were discussing the respective merits of our two countries. Of course, you know, I was out for America, and expressed myself to that effect. He was for old England, and we talked all over the place. 'A man has no chance there—I wouldn't live in your country if you gave me the whole island,' I said. 'Just as good a chance there as in your country,' he said. 'Oh, no,' I put in, 'men don't start even—there is not the same chance. What about your House of Lords?' 'Join 'em,' bedding back at me quick as a flash, 'poin 'em!' When the young consul returned to America he was given the Grand Cordon of the Medjidieh by the Sultan of Turkey. He went back to Kansas, resumed his law practice until, wit the course of events, the war with Spain came on, and he had charge of raising 3,000 troops in his state. His active participation in the war is a matter of record in the war department. When his son, who is 16 years old, attempted to enlist in the present war he had not only his own spirit and loyalty prompting him, but the list of the battles and skirmishes in which his father engaged in the Philippines whetting his ambition to serve his country. "The night before I left for the Philippines I asked that lady there to marry me," Mr. Little said, indicating the person who just came in the office—a slight, dainty woman with large dark eyes, dark hair and unusual charm of voice and manner. "And I said I would," she laughed, catching the drift of things instantly, "History does repeat itself, doesn't it," someone offered the original observation, "because that is what is happening over and over again today." "Mrs. Little spent most of her time in college while I was in the Philippines, and I have an idea she didn't worry much about me," her husband declared. "It's just as well for all these young people not to worry now—just keep busy and do good work, wherever they are!" "Now that you've come to congress, how do you like it?" "You know the speaker asked me that soon after I arrived. I hadn't seen him for a long time. Twenty years ago we both spoke at the same picnic—the committee had a Democrat and a Republican for food measure: I was leaving the house one day, and I heard someone calling, 'Colonel Little, Colonel Little!' and it was Speaker Clark chasing down an aisle to shake hands—the first fellow to do it. I told him I was a little shy at first—buck fever, maybe—but I was beginning to enjoy myself now—felt quite at home!" "It would amuse Kansas to hear you say anything about being shy," Mrs. Little interposed quietly, with her soft, smooth modulation. "Now wouldn't it!" Mr. Little exclaimed, "but that's a fact all right.—hardly visible to teh naked eye. But few things on more than one occasion and—yes, I like congress. It took them two days and two nights once a few years ago to keep me from being senator! And then on a little margin—hardly visible to the naked eye. But I like this—and, as I said before, I've recovered from stage fright!" It was copy for the Congressional Record that the new member from Kansas has engaged in tilts whit Fitzgerald of New York, Cannon of Illinois, Kahn of California, while the sixty-fifth congress was only a very few weeks old, and that he was recognized on the floor of the house before it had been convinced 48 hours with a bill prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor within 20 miles of army camps and barracks. "But then," one of his best friends observed, "did anyone ever suppose Ed Little was going to congress and hot start something?" Take Notice: We are still jogging your memory about refusing to buy or eat DeCoursey's ice cream or his White Rose butter. He was the segregation candidate for mayor.
