JACKSON'S FIVE HUND- DRED CHORUS "OVER THERE" Kansas City, Kan., Aug 1. The Chautauqua of the Federated churches was held in Convention Hall Sunday night, when more than six thousand were present to honor Kansas Day, aside from one speaker, who injected into his talk politics for a candidate for governor of Kansas and who is now abroad. The State Home Guards of Kan- 1920 GOVERNOR ARTHUR CAPPER sas City, Kansas, with Major D. A. Holmes, led by their own excellent band, Red Cross, and a company of uniformed women gave a parade at 7:30 which attracted thousands to the streets they passed along. The Chautauqua chorus of 500 under the direction of Prof. R. G. Jackson, sang a number of patriotic songs, which greatly entertained the large number, who had gathered ear- IT IS NOW COLONEL DAVIS IT IS NOW COLONEL BOY SCOUTS GO TO DAVIS CAMP. Major B. O. Davis of the Ninth Cavalry, has recently been given the commission and rank of lieutenant colonel, which was tendered him, according to military rule and order. He is the only active colonel of the race now in service. Colonel Charles Young, who was retired some time ago on account, as the examining physicians said, disability for further service, and just a few weeks ago the colonel rode horseback nearly 700 miles. There has been 39 brigadier generals made since Col. Young was retired, and when they retired him he stood sixth in line for this commission and rank. Will we get on before the war closes? Miss Florence Hughes, formerly a teacher at Shawnee, but now assistant secretary of the Chicago Y. W. C. A., is in the city on a three weeks visit. Mrs. Johnson, on Everett, was reported as worse in her illness. The Red Cross unit meets every Friday from 9 to 12 at the Y. M. C. A. Colored A VOT "BILLY COUNTY IS A VOTE FOR A FRI (The article in the Kansas Colored Voters! A VOTE FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR IS A VOTE FOR A FRIEND OF THE NEGRO. (The article in the Kansas City Globe, supposed be an attempt to raise the "Lilly-white" issue, was paid matter. "Billy" knew nothing about it.) VOL. IV. ly.) At 8:30, Rev. S. W. Bacote, D.D, chairman, came to the platform and announced, as it was Kansas Day, he would turn the evening's program over to Major Holmes. Governor Capper being somewhat detained, other speakers who were present were introduced and made talks. At 9:45 a message rereported to the chairman that the Governor of Kansas had arrived and was in the vestibule at the front entrance of the hall. Major Holmes and his staff retired to the front and while the six thousand stood, joining in, with the big chorus singing "Over There," the Governor was escorted amid great applause to the speakers' platform. Major Holmes, whose intimate relation to the governor has been displayed on other occasions, in flowing terms of oratory introduced Mr. Capper, who made the principal speech of the evening.) It was a ringing patriotic address, with frequent outbursts of applause from the large and appreciative audience. The governor said, in part: "He was proud of all of our soldier boys who are now doing their bit to bring about freedom to the nations of the earth, but especially was he of our colored boys, who had made a record of the highest military standing and he further said, when this great conflict was over and victory has been achieved, these brave and patriotic colored sons will come marching back to this old commonwealth finding new conditions and I expect, at least I hope to be one of those, whose pleasure it will be to help make this great and long needed condition, to the colored people of this country.) The governor was in fine voice and many said it was one of the best speeches they ever heard him make. Although the governor is a candidate for the United States senate his address was kept afar off from politics in every utterance. Colonel E. C. Little, congressman of this district, also made a fine address. The Chautauqua closed Monday night with a nice crowd. The Rev. C. T. Walker being the speaker. The chorus, under the direction of Prof) Jackson, rendered excellent service all through the eleven days. Kansas City, Kan., Aug 1. Monday morning at 10:30 about 90 of our Boy Scouts left over the Bonner Springs interurban, where they will go into camp at the Springs for a week. The scout masters who accompany the boys were Prof. Woody Jacobs, E. Vaughn of Quindaro, and Prof. J. P. King. The boys looked good marching down the avenue as they were going to take the car. Next Sunday is visiting day for parents, friends and the general public, which the youngsters look forward to, with much joy and delight. These outings are worth much to the boys who have the opportunity of going into camp for a week and especially at this season of the hot weather. They are always well looked after by the scout masters and their parents or guardians feel perfectly contented with their boys in their care. Mr. Ed. Jones, on eof the best drill masters in the city, has promised to assist in drilling the drill team of the O. E. S. WILL WIN MORGAN COLORED VOTES The Kansas City Star is against W. Y. Morgan for Governor of Kansas. This is enough to win him hundreds of Colored Votes, as they have not forgotten how The Star thrown them out of Convention Hall just last Christmas when they showed the "Senen Swans." We can't forget it, when our wives and children, by the Star's orders, were roughly ejected by big, burly policemen. Can any Colored man or woman vote with The Star? SOLDIERS AT W. U. NEED A RECREATION HOUSE Our soldier boys at Western University are greatly in need of a recreation building and it is up to the citizens here to see that one is erected. The boys need a place where they can have indoor amusement, such as a gymnasium, moving pictures, piano and other things of entertainment. Why not get busy at once and see that our boys have these amusements, as others have. It can be done and that quickly, if some one will take the lead. There is a movement on foot, headed by the Ministerial Alliance, to collect a fund to erect a recreation hut for the use of one hundred and three colored men of the national army, now training at Western University, Quindaro, Kansas. The Y. M. C. A. has stated that this leatchment has not a large enough quota to warrant them erecting a hut, nor supplying a secretary, so this makes it necessary to call on the epeople of Greater Kansas City to contribute to a fund, which will be used in erecting a hut, and furnishing it with suitable equipment for the entertainment of these men. All kinds of athletic equipment is needed, also pool tables, a moving picture machine, and a piano. Contributions should be forwarded direct to Officer in charge of Recreation Fund, Training Detachment, Quindaro, Kansas. NOTED EVANGELIST IS HERE Kansas City, Kan., Aug 1. Mrs. M. C. Harris of Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the noted women evangelists of the country, is here and is conducting a three weeks' revival under a large tent at the corner of Tremont and Sanford avenue. This great woman has been secured by the Rev. N. B. Robinson, pastor of the A. M. E. mission church, of that locality, and while there has been only a few meetings up to this time, many have been converted under the gospel sermons of this earnest woman, for the Master. Next Sunday, at 3 p. m., a special sermon to women only will be delivered. Don't miss hearing this wonderful woman. H. E. PATTERSON Among the candidates for county offices is one of the best accountants in the state He has served very accentably as clerk in the treasurer's office for the past four years We refer to H. E. Patterson, whose gentlemanly treatment of all with whom he has had official business while serving as clerk, has won for him many warm friends. He asks the Republicans to nominate him for county treasurer, at the primaries next Tuesday. His qualifications for the office are undisputed. He has systematized the bookkeeping department of this important office so that business is transacted with safety and intelligence. No longer a slipshod method or guesswork obtain, but every cent is duly accounted for and is set out so distinctly that anyone, who desires, may easily ascertain the condition of the county's finances at a glance. Monies, which belong to the county, are now promptly turned into the treasury in such an intelligent shape that the board of county commissioners may at once know what the conditions of the office are with ease. The reforms which he has instituted in the office are worth much to the county. If nominated, he will make a strong candidate, and if elected will make a splendid treasurer. He is deservedly popular with our people and should receive the support of a large majority of their votes. He is well worth, in every way. The Colored voters are for Patterson. Mrs. Emma Jackson, on Freeman avenue, is said to be a little better. Mrs. O. Rogan, at Tenth and Washington, is reported sick. W. Y. MORGAN Candidate on the Republican Ticket for Governor. Mr Morgan is the only state official who ever and has always kept a Colored stenographer in his office, Miss Dora Griffith, the daughter of Rev. Griffith, pastor of the largest Baptist church in Topeka has been in his office for four years and this is one of the paramount reasons for the Colored voters being so solidly for Mr. Morgan. The race first looks at a man's fitness, but tnever overlooks his fairness and friendship toward our people. And if elected governor (which he will be) we can look for greater things at his command. The rank and file of the race, ever have an appreciation for a friend. VOTE FOR KINNEY! This is H. A. Kinney, who is entitled to and asks for your vote at the Republican primaries next Tuesday. "Let's go for Kinney." ABOUT THE NOMINA TION FOR GOVERNOR MRS. M. C. HARRIS, CINCINNATI, OHIO THE NOTED EVANGELIST OF A. M. E. CHURCH IS HERE Mrs. Harris is just from the Coast, where she conducted ELEVEN wonderful meetings, beginning at San Francisco, in the historic Mother Bethel, ending in Los Angeles, with a total of 863 conversions, and went "Over the Top!" last night with six conversions. Sister Harris, aside from being a scholarly woman, is filled with the Holy Spirit. Come One, Come All, Next Sunday Afternoon at 3 p. m. Special Lecture for Women Only. Subject: "Woman---Her Rights and Powers" (No Girls Under 14 Years Old Admitted) Hear this great woman of God every night, for three weeks. We mean to take the City for Christ—100 conversions our slogan. City pastors and congregations invited and expected. TENT----CORNER TREMONT & SANFORD N. B. Robinson, Pastor. (By J. S. Simmons, a Prominent Republican in the Seventh Congressional District.) I think there are a good many reasons why Henry Allen should not be nominated for Governor, and as a believer in Republican principles, I am going to give you my ideas. These reasons are both business and political. From a Business Standpoint. Mr. Allen is a man of emotions and not of deliberation. This is what makes him a fluent speaker and this is what has made him change from one political party and from one plan of action to another, just as he changed from he Red Cross to the Y. M. C. A. work in the last month. If there is anything needed in the governor's chair of the state it is a man of deliberate judgment, sound business training and absolutely free from emotionalism. Mr. Allen lacks in every one of these. From a Political Standpoint. Mr. Allen's record shows that he is in politics exactly what the state has been trying to get rid of, the most thorough machinist that was ever known in Kansas. He was twice Cy Leland's candidate for Congress in the Third district. He was the "machine man" above all others on the Board of Charities during Governor Bailey's administration. He opposed the Board of Control law urged by Governor Hoch, which practically took the state institutions out of politics, vigorously and industriously lobbying on the floor of the house against it. It is openly charged and never denied that by the rankest combination known to machine politics he and George Clarke beat Gov. E. W. Hoch for state printer, and divided the emoluments of the office, amounting to many thousands of dollars. Mr. Allen's good record as a machine man has brought these results in the present campaign, what is left of the old machine is mostly behind Mr. Allen. Mr. Allen should not ask for the nomination on the Republican ticket. Four years ago he was a candidate on an opposition ticket trying to defeat Gov. Capper, the Republican nominee, and making political speeches in every congressional district of the state for the defeat of the congressional nominees, declaring that the Republican party was so 117 MORE MEN GO TO FUNSTON Thursday morning seventeen more of our boys left for Camp Funston. This cleans up Class One of the first registration. The next call, which is to come some time soon, will take several hundred, as has been reported. Vote for Lizzie Wooster, Republican candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. corrupt that he was compelled to leave it, and that it did not have one remaining principle worth contending for. The principles of the Republican party have not changed since that time. Surely it is not fair to Mr. Allen to ask him to run on a ticket of a party that was so absolutely corrupt. Who can speak for Mr. Allen's Republicanism today? His chief sponsors outside of the old machine ring—who have their own reasons for supporting him—are William Allen White, whom no one acuses of being a Republican; the Kansas City Star, which has always been anti republican but has always tried to dictate republican policies in the State of Kansas; and an occasional sensationalist like a certain democratic preacher from Missouri. Are they the ones republicans want to have dictate the policy of their party? Grant to them, if you can, the highest motives, but your party like your church stands for certain principles, and should be guided by those who believe in those principles. Above All. The men- and women of the State of Kansas and elsewhere are making every possible sacrifice for the Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross, some of them giving up their boys to die on European battle fields, and are asking nothing whatever except the consciousness of duty well done, but Mr. Allen and his friends deliberately undertake to make his work for the Red Cross, now for some unknown reason switched to the Y. M. C. A., the reason for nominating him as Governor. It is the most palpable attempt to prostitute benevolences to politics ever known. If you are inclined to doubt this accusation, watch the columns of the Kansas City-Star for a few days and notice that Henry Allen is the only one of a thousand men who are doing something for the Red Cross or the Y. M. C. A. in Europe that ever gets more than a bare mention. Of course it is always in the news items, but that is the Star's camouflage plan to help dictate the nomination of the republican candidate for Governor in Kansas. This statement is not issued in the interest of any candidate for Governor. I have my choice, of course, but neither Mr. Morgan, Mr. Brewster nor Mr. Troutman have seen this statement or know that it is to be issued. J. S. SIMMONS. Mr. G. W. Quinn, a progrssive merchant of Pine Bluff, Ark., spent a week in the city, during the time he took in all the important things of interest in the two cities. He left the first of the week to visit Colorado an dother western states. He stopped while here at 913 Splitlog avenue. Mr. Matt Douglass of Columbia, Mo., is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Eulalee Jones, of 947 Walker avenue.

A certain candidate, in his desire to make the people laugh, when talking to some foreigners in Armourdale used the word "Bohunk." It lost him many a vote. In speaking to an audience do not joke or seriously make use of the word "Nigger." You are certain to lose votes. We have no faith in the word nor anyone who uses it. This hint is valuable. The blinder talk and Negro paper rehash is a reflection upon the police system. Policemen are not treated fairly by such reports. They get men. It is time to begin talking school. School must keep, though the war goes on. Children will grow up to be adults. Their problems will require this preparation. If this war ended all we might neglect the children. Wasn't that a funny story about a Negro carrying a young woman, while asleep, a block and she returned home and slept on until the police came. Next, please! MORGAN'S NOMINATION CON- CEDED. W. Y. Morgan, candidate for governor, was in the city a few days this week and made a strong impression on the voters of this city. He made several enthusiastic speeches It is conceded he will receive a big colored vote as his friendship towards them all of his life warrants him their support. Morgan has kept a colored stenographer in his office ever since he has been Lieutenant Governor, Miss Dora Griffith of Topeka, daughter of Rev. Griffith, a prominent Baptist minister of that city. He also appointed Mrs. W. W. Evans of Hutchinson, to a clerkship in one of the state departments. Read in other parts of this paper what the people and press have to say of Mr. Morgan. It is conceded by the rank and file of leading men and women throughout the state that Mr. Morgan will be the next nominee for governor on the Republican ticket. His equipment for the office is such that everyone recognizes. His extensive experience in legislation and as Lieutenant Governor, fully qualifies him for the position of chief executive. Mr. Morgan is by far the best equipped man for the position, now before the people for governor. He is well worthy personally, being a man of unquestioned moral character and a man of sterling qualities, as an honest, upright citizen. By voting for Billy Morgan one will reflect credit on his judgment and his discrimination. DR. H. M. BENTLEY Homeopath Sterling, Kansas. July 27, 1918.. W. J. Bailey, President, Allen Campaign Committee, Atchison, Kansas. Dear Mr. Bailey: I have read the printed report of your speech in which you say that Mr. Allen is do- ing a wonderful work for the Red Cross and that he is so great a man that he towers above all other candi- candidates for Governor. 12 You have impressed me, but I You have impressed me.

The pastor, Dr. Griffin, filled his pulpit and delivered a message that went direct to the hearts of his hearers, his text was "Puffed Up." It was good enough for the best and that was the class it helped the most There was no service at the evening hour on account of the Chautauqua meeting at Convention Hall. Mrs. Butler of Parsons, District Superintendent of the Sabbath school, gave on interesting and helpful talk to the Sunday school, at its close. Class reports for July will not be published, for the reason that two of our Sundays were public collections and no record could be taken of them. The choir will give a musical concert to the soldier boys at Western University Sunday afternoon, Major N. Clark Smith, director. Conference is near at hand and the pastor is looking after his conference claims, which means much work for a church of its magnitude. Major N. Clark Smith, one of the very efficient choristers of the country, was present Sunday nad took charge of affairs—and did you notice the difference? If you want a cool drink of ice water to quench your thirst you can get it at the foot of the stairs in the basement, but if you want that living water, when drunk, one never thirsts again, come to the service and listen to the pastor's sermon. You are welcome to both. would like to have you answer a few questions, so that I may understand the exact facts. Is it true that Mr. Allen was presented the alternative by the Red Cross of continuing his wonderful work or refraining from his candidacy for office? This is the statement made by the American Red Cross itself in a bulletin issued July 15th. It is true that Mr. Allen gave us his wonderful work and preferred to be a candidate? What do you think of a man who prefers a political job to an opportunity for service at this time, and is this an evidence of his greatness? You will realize that I have an opinion on this subject which I have made from my own knowledge of the situation and I am very anxious to have you explain the manner in which you reach your conclusion. Yours truly, (Signed) H. M. BENTLEY. PRESS EDITORIALS. The next thing that should enlist the interests of the voters in this part of the state is the governorship. The feeling among the people is that W. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson will receive the Republican nomination, but let it be understood that a strong sentiment in favor of a candidate does not nominate him. It is necessary for people to get out and vote. The women of the state are especially indebted to Mr. Morgan for the things he has done to assist them in the different causes they have advocated and worked for. We are hoping for Mr. Morgan's nomination. The Enterprise is not partisan to the extent of supporting a candidate whom we do not know against a man of Mr. Morgan's standing and well known ability. We want to vote for Morgan for governor in November and believe nearly everybody else around here does, so let the Republicans turn out at the primary, August 6th and nominate him.—Rice County Republican. IS HE THE RIGHT KIND? Chase Register It has been ruled that no officer or person prominent in Red Cross work can be a candidate for election to any political office. Henry Allen of Wichita is in Red Cross work, and is a candidate for governor. Is he really patriotic—big enough to give up his chance for political office and continue good and necessary work in the Red Cross? Is he big enough to put country, the welfare of our soldiers, the safeguarding of womanhood, true patriotic Americanism, above his own personal political ambition? If he isn't that loyal, then the voters of Kansas will know that he is too small a man to be governor. Kansas is very much in need of a capable and truly loyal man at the head of state affairs. "The whole country down our way is for Billy Morgan for governor," is the way Earl Fickert, editor of The Press at Montezuma, Gray County, puts it. "You can scarcely run across anyone who is not for the Hutchinson man for governor. We're going to give him all the votes there are in Gray county. We're strong for him and ar eworking for him."—St. John News. The government is going after the profiteering in fine shape. What is the difference between those who gain illicit profits from the manufacture of goods in time of war and the man who would use the influence of war work to gain public office? It's the political profiteer that we should fear far more than the commercial profiteer.—Quenemo News. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Parsons Daily Republican, July 24: Henry J. Allen's local "manager" devotes some supposedly valuable space in the Afternoon "Sidewinder" to calling the Republican names and intimating that we are not even good as a pro-German, just because we wondered as to the true inwardness of Henry J.'s switching from Red Cross to Y. M. C. A. activities in France. The trouble with Henry's local manager and all of his many other managers is that they have absolutely nothing upon which to base their boosts of their candidate except his alleged patriotism. Under a ruling of the Red Cross Allen either had to get out of politics or out of Red Cross work and he—naturally—stuck to politics, which is as the breath of life itself to Henry. Kansas has several thousand men right up in the first line trenches in France and, if patriotism alone is to be the gauge of their fitness for office, every one of them is entitled to the governorship. The trouble with the boom of Henery J. is that it is badly punctured by Henery's change after reaching France, and his managers are trying desperately to "put on a patch" but abuse of those who do not worship at Henery's political shrine. Patriots are too plentiful in Kansas and with her boys over there for that virtue—great as it undoubtedly is—to be the only criterion upon which to base the fitness of one's candidacy. NOTICE! To Whom It May Concern: Having severed my relation with the Improved Woodmen of the World, relieves me of the office of Sovereign Clerk. Clerks of Camps and Circles will take notice and seek instructions from the Sovereign Commander as to who the future clerk will be. WM. G. CURTIS. WILLIAM G. BIRD. William G. Bird is a candidate for County Assessor and submits his claim for nomination to the Republicans at the primary next Tuesday. Mr. Bird, the well known real estate man, is well qualified for the important position which he seeks, His office training, his experience as deputy assessor, all add to his practical information, so much demanded by one who assumes to pass on the valuation of property. Mr. Bird's regular line of business has brought him into close contact with realty values and he knows what a piece of real estate is worth to a cent: This is a position of vital interest to every tax payer in the county. Mr. Bird names the following well informed gentlemen, whom he refers you to, advocating his election and are working towards that end: Profs. S. P. King, J. J, Lewis, Dr, Porter Davis, William Miller, Rev. D. A. Holmes, Rev. W, A, Bowren, Rev, George McNeal, William Boone, Dorsey Green, E, A, Shackelford, D, E. Henderson, Nat Singletary and other citizens whose opinions of the qualifications of Mr. Bird is valuable. Should he receive the nomination he will make a strong candidate and if elected, will make a faithful, competent official. Mrs. Carrie Baldridge of Richmond, has been the house guest of Mrs. C. L. Hodgman, 913 Spliflog avenue for two weeks. Miss Lizzie E. Wooster Salina, Kansas WILLIAMS Public Instruction Vote for Her August 6th, Primary ENTITLED TO RECOGNITION. It is generally recognized that, as a matter of fairness, the women of Kansas are entitled to a representative on the state ticket of both political parties. Miss Lizzie E. Wooster, of Salina, is a candidate for nomination on the Republican ticket. Her practical experience in all lines of educational activity, from the district school up to the higher institutions of learning is a guarantee of her qualifications. Miss Woostetr is not only an educator by scholarship and experience, but is an author of recognized ability. The Philaedlphia Times says of Miss Wooster as an educational author: "Miss Lizzie E. Wooster is a new light in the literary world. This Western woman is the most famous author of school books in the country, and she arranges her books from a practical knowledge of the needs of the children." Other newspapers, well qualified to pass criticisms, are liberal in their estimate of Miss Wooster as an educational author, among which are a number of the best known educational journals of the country. Miss Wooster has prepared among others, the following books: Two-Book Series of Arithmetics, for the first three years' work in school, Primer, Primary Industrial Reading Chart, Five-Book series of Readers, Sentence Builders and Number Builders. All her books are of the most practical, being arranged in accord with the most advanced pedagogical principles, looking towards a natural symmetrical development of the child. In short, Miss Wooster would reflect great honor to the state if she should be chosen to direct its educational effort. Her administration of the educational interests of the state would be fair, dignified and, in every way marked with ability. The Republicans will find in her a most popular candidate and one who would secure the hearty support of educators throughout Kansas and would bring credit to the state from her well known work in all lines of educational activity throughout the country. She would be an excellent representative of the large and intelligent women citizenship of Kansas. Mrs. Rosa Stephens, 830 Nebraska avenue, has been ill this week. BOARD AND ROOM.

He was fearless in the enforcement of law; in fact, the first governor of the state who considered that the prohibitory law was no joke and insisted that it meet with the same dignified enforcement which all laws demanded. In his dealings with crime he was firm and positive and criminals knew that they need not expect any favors of the Kansas executive. That is Stubbs in whatever he undertakes. Moreover, he brought to bear, in favor of the state, the tremendous influence of his wonderful financial ability. He insisted that for every dollar expended, the state should receive one dollar's worth of efficient service. That also, is characteristic of Stubbs. His sterling honesty, unquestioned integrity, faithfulness in the discharge of duty, and his industry in performing his duty at all times, contribute to his deserved poulraity as a candidate for senator. He has been tried in a responsible position and found to measure up with the demands of the occasion. When Governor Stubbs became chairman of the state relief committee for the depressed and starving Belgians, he worked day and night, establishing his office at Topeka and in addition to contributing his time he gave liberally of his money, as he always does to all deserving objects. This, also, is just like Stubbs. In whatever position he is called upon to fill he does so with becoming dignity and with a whole-heartedness which indicates the man's intense earnestness. In other words, as a public servant Stubbs calls to his aid all his immense resources and gives himself entirely to the work in hand. This insures the people of the state a faithful representative in the senate should he be chosen to go to Washing as the successor of Senator Thompson. He is in full sympathy with those red-blooded Americans, who are insisting on a vigorous prosecution of the war. He has two sons in the army and Stubbs is also in the fight in dead earnest. He heartily sustains the administration in all laudable efforts to win the war. Should he be chosen to represent Kansas in the senate, the state would have no occasion to blush for any of his acts. He is a business man, farmer, a stock man and in all his business en terprises he exhibits that quality which should enter into the makeup of a legislator. Moreover, Gov. Stubbs has had extensive experience as a law-maker. He has served with distinction a number of terms in the state legislature, one term serving as speaker of the House. Therefore, if elected to the senate he would not be a novice in legislative duty. His experience as legislator and as chief executive is a schooling which will serve him well. He will know just how to proceed in the discharge of his duty as a senator. His education is of the practical sort, which serves him well in all the varied positions which he has filled with such signal success. For ten years Stubbs was either a member of the legislature or governor and during that decade, some of the best laws now on our statute books became such largely through his efforts. The matter of transportation is by no means solved in this country and the solution is one of the most important problems of the country. Gov. Stubbs' familiarity with roadroad construction will equip him for this important legislation and his knowledge of transportation in all its bearings, will be most valuable. His experience as a farmer and stock raiser puts him in immediate sympathy with a large class engaged in this important industry. He knows their needs, as well as the demands of the consumer. His position in the employment of labor puts him in a position to look out for the needs of this large class of worthy citizens. In short Gov. Stubbs is in every way well qualified for the position of senator and his excellent equipment appeals to the thoughtful electorate. While governor, Stubbs made three colored appointments in the state of prominence and worth. Spuire Lee of Kansas City, Kansas, marshal of the city court, Prof. Fisher, purchasing agent of one of the state schools, and a young man in the bank commissioner's office, and a number of minor positions. The Republican party will honor itself by giving Gov. Stubbs the nomination of the party for this position. If he is chosen as his party's candidate, he will make a strong race and will enter the contest well prepared to lead the Republican hosts to victory and if elected will be Congressman Little for Second Term Our Congrossman, Colonel Edward C. Little, is now a candidate for his second term. By all rules of fairness anr good sense he is entitled to a renomination to the second term without opposition and ought to have it. He introduced the first war measure, his Bill to establish a twenty-mile prohibition zone around all the forts and camps and he is conceded to be the man whose efforts secured the establishment of the present five-mile zone which made us a temperate army. On January 23rd this year he led the fight in the House of Representatives and made the motion that saved the taxpayers $70,000,000. Probably no man ever accomplished more in his first term in Congress than these things Congressman Little amended the law so that the $27,000,000 improvements for the Missouri River to establish a six-foot channel from the Missouri State Line to the Mississippi River was moved up stream to Quindaro Bend to include Kansas City, Kansas, which is more than any Congressman ever did for Kansas City, Kansas, and he deserves every vote in the city. When he was Secretary to the Governor at the beginning of the Spanish War, he secured for the 23rd Kansas Colored troops, officers of their own race, the first time this was ever done in the world, which is as much as has ben done by any man for the race in half a century in this country, anhonor the 23rd Kansas shared with the 8th Illinois only. Colonel Little is the only man runnig for Congressman or Governor or Senator in the whole state of Kansas that ever risked his life in battle for his country, as he gallantly did many times in the Spanish War with the most famous regiment of al that war, and he ought to be re-elected without opposition against him in the whole district as long as the war lasts. Colonel Little is not a perpetual office-seeker. He became candidate two years ago because bad management had wrecked the party in the district and the Democrats had carried it three times in succession. Although his opponent brought a contest and fought it out in the Supreme Court, Col. Little was elected by 4,000 majority, and we should all be for him now. Without fear and without favor he stood boldly in Congress for the principle that big incomes and war profits should bear the principal burden of our taxation, and we should not allow a man who has fought for us to be sacrificed now because he has been our friend in this Congress. One reason why he should have every patriot's support is that an effort has been made to injure him by circulating willful misrepresentations, absolutely disproved by the Record he has placed before the people, which shows that since the war began he has supported every measure without exception to make it a success and has helped vote on himself an income tax, excess profit tax, and super tax, amounting to more than 10 per cent of his own salary. Such malice deserves rebuke from honest men and women. We ask for him the support at the primaries of all good citizens. J. F. Griffin, Pastor First A. M. E. Church. D. B.

I call the attention of Negroes to a feature in the- problem of Negro life and well-being that ought to COMMAND attention of every Ne- gro who claims the distinction of THINKING. An unfortunate accident happens, Negroes are injured, they are ten- derly cared for by their kind, and where they survive, are nursed back to health—and where they die, are respectfully buried, and proper sym- pathy extended to those left to mourn. . All of which, is altogether RIGHT and: Proper. - There are some incidents that some times arise out of these acci- dents,—it has to do with the Econo- mic, or welfare, of those who are in- jured, or who survive those who dic. And it is to these incidents that I shall refer, in a few words, Negro Doctors attend those who suffer in fthose acidents, and Negro Nurses and friends nurse them back to health—and where they pass out, Ngroes attend their funerals and bury them and mourn after they are gone. While White men hate them before they are hurt or injured, and as evidence of it, they curtail their rights at every possible point and refuse the man equal chance in ev- ery walk of life, use towards thei a galling and withering prejudic, shown everywhere, and in every way possible, they do not concede such injured persons the right to live in peace, to their best advantage, and do not even want their bodies to rot and melt away, near their own. Such is the relation of these white friends before the accident, and it is always the very same after it is over and settled. Can any man with a grain of horse sense, think of the relation be- ing different, while" these Negroes are concerned with the result of such accidents? I am one who can not, And there is no use in beating the Devil around the bush,—it is plainly seen by all,—when attention is called to it. And it stands an open disgrace and shame to the Race,—-A BURN- ING SHAME and DISARACE;— that where incidents happen, whien cause injuries such as are described above,—and which are dealt with, in their humane features, as has been described,—to have the Welfare side, the business side,—the legal side of the matter hondled wholly by white men—men who are part and pareel —HEART and SOUL, “CHEEK BY JOWL” OF, THOSE, who feel to- wards Negroes as has heen described above herein. At this point we are met with that which is Worse than Weakness and False-hood, to-wit—That old“ Saw” “Well you know the ease avill be be- ‘fore 2 White Judge and a white Jury, and a white man can do bet- ter.” Now then, if that means anything: ~—it means that ALL WHITE men are as False, Foul, Crooked and Dis- honest, as Hell is Unhappy. And if it is true,—then pray teil me, how in the name of the same place even; can you Trust any of them.—even the one you hook up with? No,—No,—The Truth of the mat- ter is—NOT,—as thus UN-desirable Class of Fellows assert;—and in some instances,—a still more UN- desirable class of Negroes, uphold and insist; (while in others, a mis- informed and piti-able class believe) The actual Truth is—these Un-de- sirable Fellows, and that MORE Un- desirable Class of Negroes; are grossly and egregiously false to that Mis-informed, unsuspecting and piti- able class of our people, who have this class of business to be transac- ted., And as Grossly and Contempi- bly and out-rageously, SLANDER —as they say—the White Judgies’ and Juries. | For, no tone of them, would have| it known, that they were making such Contemptibly Damned, Low! and Dirty Slanderous appeals. It is weakmess and unworthy; to enw. Shat cosh ase end Sua Cele’ ae! Humane Respect for the people with whom he is dealing, would do’ such a contemptible act. -They do not practice such disre- spectful conduct on people of their own race;—did they do such—they would be Ostracized beyond measure, and HISSED out from among good people. Then, pray tell me, why a Negro should allow’ such to be practiced upon him,—and feel himself honored in the transaction? Negro Lawyers, have no inclina- tion:to stoop to such practices, and they are to be commended for it. And in the meantime, the rank and file of the race, should be im- pressed with the Importance;—of making ALL others have the same degree of, and PROPER Respect for the feelings of our people. I think the propaganda should |start in our Churches,—Preach the word of TRUTH, and likewise RES PECT for ourselves. For it is true beyond question;— that no race can achiove; or rise, or play any appreciable part in the “Game and Play” of Races or Na- tions;—where the members of such Race, have no Manly Respect for each other,—and do not Deserve, and | DEMAND it, from others. Again,—I believe the Propaganda should start in the Church, from the Breast of our Strong Man of God;— and go out as a “Mighty rushing of waters” until the “Whole Lump is Leaven-ed.” . Every one of us should think that way, TALK that way, and ACT that ‘way;—and then se to it, that his neighbor, THINKS that way, TALKS that way, and ACTS that way. I firmly believe, that if we will follow the above given line, we will have much less chance to observe such Contrasts, as are so ably set out by Prof. G. A. Gregg in “A Word to the Citizens of K. C., K.,” in the last issue of The Advocate And I know the Professor will par- don being personal, and agree with me in this:—“Men generally, DO NOT Respect those whom they hold to be inferior; and whom they can Slavishly COMMAND” Men may ENVY, still they will re- spect Equals,—they Hate Inferiors, —and Despise the Contemptible. Let’s Get Busy Our-selves. UNCLE IKE, ‘To Prof. Gregg:—The Mayor was willing to Speak, but gave away, that others of the Race, migh thave a word,—time being limited. And the Chamber of Commerce, gave each man a Safety Razor—as they did the others.” I take it, you will be Preased to learn the Facts. LF.B. W. A. LAYTON, Northern Kansas has a ‘candidate for Lieutenant Governor, in the per- son of W. A. Layton of Osborne County. Mr. Layton has always been a frien to our people, contend ing that they get a fair consideration in the way of providing schools and aiding them in their church exten- sion and other work: of the kind. He is making a manly race and what this publication said of him last week, we still claim is justly due him. We are sustained in this estimate of Mr. Layton by other newspapers of the. state. The following from the Marion Record is a sample of news- paper sentiment. The Record says: “We notice the announcement of W. A. Layton of Osborne, Kansas. for the Republican nomination as WALTER A. LAYTON OSBORNE, KANSAS i oe : ES A Rt ee ae. oe / * a oe wit re S . REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Lieutenant Governor. He would make a splendid candidate and a splendid officer. As speaker pro- tent of the last House he established a fine reputation. He was one of -the most influential members—earnest, capable and progressive, And he was respected by all, regardless of party or. faction, Kansas will’ make no mistake in calling to official places of trust such men as Mr, Layton.” KANSAS DAY AT __ METROPOLITAN TEMPLE At 11 a. m, an apreciative audi- ence enjoyed the sermon by the pastor of this church and it was sanctionéd by the Holy Spirit and the proof of it was some were con- verted and some joined the church. At 3 p, m,, the congregation assem- bled in the balconies and auditorium to hear the renowned) Dr. C, T. Walker, John D Rockefeller’s preach- er, who is called the “Black Spur- geon,” and the greatest preacher in the world. Rev. Bacote, president of the Chautauqua, introduced Pastor Holmes, and he introduced the speak- er in glowing terms.) Dr. Walker although white-haired, is a venera- ble, intelligent, and powerful mouth- niece for Christ. He preached on “Elijahs’ God,” and in grammatical language brought out the fact that “the same religion that was good for our fathers and mothers, is good enough for the younger people of today and good for generations yet unborn. He gave a beautiful illus- tration of Job, as God’s pride in a faithful Christian, and proved that God is the same yesterday and to- day and forevermore, if we trust Him. The congregation was enran- tured. FIVE—KENEDY 7-31... 1. 2. oe Next Sunday, August 4th, the pas- tor of Metropolitan will have a spe- cial religious feature at his church. to which all are invited. The largest collection for the Chautauqua, taken on the Kansas side, was at Metropolitan Temple, when Dr. Walker preached. The O. E. S. committee had an sorte meeting at Mrs. P. Cc. Long’s, at which time special things for the Grand Chapter, August. uw and 15, were ebphasized. A fine pro- | gram’ of solos from, some of our pri- ma donnas and pantomimes, pare je scenes and drills will be given Thursday, August 15th at M. & 9. Hall, to entertain the guests and Gileoks, t FIRST BAPTIST Rev. W. A, Bowren spoke upon a good, serious question Sunday morn- ing, namely: “The Mission of the ‘Church in This Great World War.” One cf the first duties of the church is to go on as usual, but with 2 deeper, more serious prayerful turn of mind. To teach and preach Democracy as often as the occasion may present itself, because Christ first taught real Democracy. To pray for our boys and our Allies, and our final victory at all times. A very goodly number attended all the services which were held at the church during the day, and a nice collection was taken. Sunday, August 4th, 1918, will mark the ending of an epsch and the beginning for First Church, hecause on Sunday the last services will be hold in the old building. The event is to be celebrated by an all-day service, beginning with a 6:30 a, m. prayer meeting, and preaching at 11 o'clock and § p. m., and 6:30 p, m. and 8 p. m, A big wholesome dinner with chicken in every form will be served at the church in the lecture room and for 50c. Come and bring all’ your friends. The pastor has requested that all tickets or money therefrom be turned in to him at once. REV. W. A. BOWREN, Pastor. SAYINGS OF WALT THOMPSON You can chain a man’s feet and hands, but you can not chain his heart. The greatest production given to man is the production of the brains. It’s but a few people that travel in their own road; the masses travel in somebody else’s road. As a2 man can see his shadow, so can others see us. Man some time travels a road he would prefer not to travel again. SAYS HE HAS IT, At the closing of the campaign. E. R. Williams, candidate for sheriff, says his nomination is“assured, ie is making a hard fight for the nomi- nation and he has a number of buzy oponents. He has made a thorovgh canvass of the- county and his ac- quaintance so extensive throughout the county makes him a very strong candidate for the nomination, If he succeeds, he will throw the same en- ergy into the campaign, for his par- ty, which he has shown in the pre- liminary maneuvering. Should he re- ceive the indorsement of his party and is elected he will make 2 good official, ever ready to discharge his duty with firmness and fairness, JACOB M. JOSLIN. Jacob ‘M. Joslin, the popular insur- ance man of Armourdale, is a candi- date for county assessor, subject to the decision of the Republican pri- maries, August 6th. Mr. Joslin has never sought any county office be- fore, but has been &n active private in the ranks of his party, always a Republican, since his first vote, and faithful to the policies and princi- ples enunciated by the party of his choice, The only attempt he has ever made for official preferment, was when he Was a candidate for 2 membership on the Drainage Board and came within only thirty-five votes of being elec- ted.
