ENDS LIFE IN ROOM WITH ROOZE FLASK Linn C. Weeks, a stock salesman of Kansas City, Kansas, committed suicide by shooting early Tuesday morning at the Inn at Butler, Mo. According to his wife, who was at the hotel, Weeks had been drinking for some time and she had brought him there to sober him up. It is thought that Weeks was suffering from a hallucination due to continued drinking and ended his life while in this condition. A bottle of whiskey was found in his room. An inquest was held Wednesday. Weeks was a stock salesman and had been selling stock of the Ruddy Packing Company for a local brokerage concern. His name does not appear in any of the city directories. COME TO MRS. M. C. HARRIS THE NOTED EVAN CHURCH Mrs. Harris is just from the C wonderful meetings, beginning at S MRS. M. C.

COLORED TROOPS FOUGHT NOBLY IN BIG BATTLES Receive Praise and Decoratiions from Their Commanders Word comes from the battle fields across the sea that the colored troops, as usual, are giving a good account of themselves. Their commanders are enthusiastic and unstinted in their praise of the Negro soldiers. It is said that the boches went crazy when they learned that the black man was in the enemy ranks. The colored soldier is especially skilled in the use of the bayonet and the German is deadly afraid of "cold steel." They will not stand "hitched" at all when they discover that they are to meet the colored "bayoneters." They positively refuse to let this "horrid black" American feel their ribs with their favorite army instrument. They were told that there were no Americans in the fight and if they were they would easily be whipped, and here are hundreds of thousands of them of all shades of color and they fight like demons. The Germans vow that Americans are mad when they fight and that their unearthly yell is a terror, and now comes the colored troops, who are as crazy as loons when they are in battle. Fritz says, and that they fight like the very devil was in every one of them. Letters found on the dead bodies, written to their families, tell the story of the terrible fights which they have had and one officer says that he had a premonition that he was to lose his skin in the fight in which he was about to enter and states that he did lose it. They claim that the Americans do not fight fairly They say when the Americans are surrounded they should surrender, by all means, but instead they just give a bloody savage yell that is not heard this side of hell itself, and come right after the Germans having them surrounded, And all yell like demons in a fight and these black Americans are a most frightful lot of devils that one will ever meet until he joins the company of the damned. THE TENT CINCINNATI, OHIO ANGELIST OF A. M. E. IS HERE Coast, where she conducted ELEVEN San Francisco, in the historic Mother --- --- KANSAS CITY, KAN., FRIDAY, AUG. 16, 1918 Prince Hall Grand Chapter O. E. S., convened at Metropolitan Temple August 14th, Mrs. P. Freeman, G. M., presiding. Much business was transacted and a very large delegation was present. At the noon hour the ladies at the Temple were overwhelmed with diners. The principal program thus far was the Public Program at 8 p. m. Mrs. I. Wood rendered beautiful selections and Commissioner Chapman gave the welcome to the city for the mayor, and Judge Clark, of Lawrence, responded. The welcome for the five chapters was given by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, and many Past Matrons, Past Patrons and auditors said it was the best they had ever heard. She received the most prolonged applause. Mrs. C. Bryant, of Denver, responded to her in a very gracious manner and was much applauded. Rev. D. A. Holmes gave the welcome for the churches and was applauded. Prof. Hawkins responded in a fine manner. Mr. A. Wilson made a fine welcome for the Masonic lodges;; Mr. H. I. Monroe, of Topeka, responded and then gave his ideas of true Democracy and was cheered greatly. Mrs. Ida Wood again gave a recessional, "Home, Sweet Home," on the pipe organ; it was beautiful as her others and she was highly complimented and applauded. Prof. Milton Collins acted moster of ceremonies, and Mrs. Mattie Johnson was chairman of the program. The large audience, after saying 'twas the finest welcome pro- rifice of life is murder; therefore the Germans are surrendering to the Allies by the thousands Privates are joined by their frightened officers and go over to the Americans and get a square meal, for they say, that while these demons fight like fury, when the battle is over, they treat their prisoners like gentlemen. An account is given of one brave colored man who brought up ammunition to his comrades admist shot and shell, and has been called to headquarters and commended and decorated for his bravery. His general cabled the matter to his mother, who lives in Kansas City, Kansas. So goes the fight and our colored boys are showing to the world what kind of stuff of which they are made and that they are good Americans through and through. When the war is over and the Americans return home, this country will have a different idea of the Negro from that which has obtained in years past. The colored man is proving his loyalty to his beloved country, is showing the world what it is to be a good American. Our boys may rest assured that their friends at home are standing by them and will support them with every dollar they can get and can spare to sustain the cause of freedom. And they have such an abiding faith in the love of fairness among our white friends, to believe that a new and happier life awaits the brave fellows who have offered their lives on the altar of their country. Already President Wilson has spoken out in positive terms against ruthless lynch law and asks for fair treatment of all citizens charged with crime. In this all good colored citizens unite with the President. We are all in favor of law enforcement and are fighting that law may rule and not the voice of the mob. Our boys across the seas may rest assured that their bravery is appreciated by their country and will be amply rewarded. We "back home" want to continue to hear good reports, and will rejoice to hear that they are with the Americans who plant the Stars and Stripes in Berlin, to wave over the Kaiser's palace. An appreciative audience attended the morning service and the pastor preached from 1 Cor. 2, with such fervency that in the large congregation there were some converts. He also led the congregation in the ADVOCATE gram the G. C. has ever held, filed into the dining room, which was decorated with palms, silver stars representing the O. E. S., festoons of red, white and blue, and everyone was served with an abundance of ice cream, cake, etc. Miss L. Scwall was chairman of Homes, Mrs. F. Rice chairman of Reception, and Mrs. M. Bruce chairman of the refreshment committee. The delegates, members and visitors retired about 1130, feeling that it was "very good for them to have been there." (A full account of the proceedings will be published in next week's Advocate.—Editor.) Notes of the Convention. Mrs. K. Broaddus of Hutchinson was a delegate and attended the reception. She formerly, taughthere. Rev. J. C. Owens said the Welcome program was good. Prof. Hawkins of Fort Scott was greatly applauded on the Welcome program; he highly complimented Mrs. Matthews prose and poetic welcome for the five chapters. Mrs. J. H. Clayborne was an admirer of the program and reception. Mrs. H. Dwiggins and Mr. Lou Chapman and others complimented the program highly and especially the welcome for the Chapters. Prof. Gray's wife of Atchison, also praised the program. Mr. Robinson of Parsons was a pleased spectator. sweet old, but intelligent hymn, "There is a Fountain Filled With Blood." At night Pastor Holmes again preached from Cor. 4:13 to a nice congregation. It was found that the day's collections were nearly $100. The members of this church have ordered their lavatories put in. The pastor worked hard to get them in for the Grand Chapter convention, for the General committee of ladies, the church ladies and all friends. Next Sunday good sermons for the benefit of all, sinners especially, will be given. Come out and hear them. It is as cool as any place in town. Come. PICNIC FOR OUR HOME GUARDS Kansas City, Kans.. Aug. 15. A picnic, the proceeds of which were donated to the two companies of Kansas City, Kansas, home guards, was given Monday night at Heathwood Parkby the guards and their friends and relatives. Several hundred people attended and the proceeds ran well over $150. The guards, commanded by Maj. D. A. Holmes, paraded through the downtown district and gave exhibitions of military maneuvers. The citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, have reason to be proud of their home guards, as the organization is said to be the best drilled of any in the state. They are a soldierly like set of men and their bearing is commented favorably upon wherever they are seen. They are ready for action on a moment's notice, and the commander is, to be complimented upon the training and efficiency reached by the two companies. JOBS FOR ALL K. C., K., MEN That no Kansas City, Kansas, man will be forced to do without work is evidenced by a meeting of the four local draft boards to plan some line of closer co-operation with the police department in enforcing. the new "work or fight" order. This means that a literal enforcement of the ordinance will become effective immediately after the arrangements have been made, and then, woe to the able-bodied men of draft age who cannot show, that lie is occupied in some branch of productive work.

NEGRO ADVISORY COMMITTEE ORGA-NIZED IN OHIO Will Increase Production During the Meeting at the Ohio state house the other day at the call of the United States Department of Labor, more than 125 representative Negro and white citizens of Ohio organized the Negro Workers Advisory committee, which has as its purpose the organization of Negro workers for increased industrial and agricultural production during the war. Prof. George E. Haynes, director of Negro economics of the Department of Labor, Washington, outlined the purpose of the conference as to increase the efficiency of Negro workers toward 100 per cent production. There are just two classes of citizens in this country today," Professor Hayneck said. "They are those who do and those who don't. We want to enlist every Negro in the ranks of those who do, and from the way the race has been showing its patriotism in all war work and enlistments we are sure that every man, woman and child will co-operate with us." Similar organizations are to be effected in various states. Noted educational leaders of the race are co-operating with the Department of Agriculture in the movement. turned over to them by the draft boards. All men who are in classes one, two, three and four come under the new regulation. That there is no difficulty in finding work, it is pointed out that several teachers in the colored public school, men and women of high educational ability, have spent the summer vacation working in the packing houses, spending a thrifty vacation, besides helping the government in supplying the soldiers across the seas. What these people can do, by going into industries utterly foreign to their education and refinement, others can also do. UNABLE TO READ; SHE RAISED A NOTED FAMILY Aged Negro Woman Died at Blue Mound Last Week. That the Negro makes good when given an opportunity is recognized now by althinking and unprejudiced persons. The following from ex-Congressman Scott's paper is an indication of the best sentiment of the best white men. Mr. Scott's paper is the Iola Register and this is what it says in its last issue: "Out in the country, on a farm near Blue Mound in Douglas county, there died the other day an old, old, old woman. Ninety years ago she was born a slave in North Carolina. In 1863 she came away from the old plantation with some Kansas troops that had made a raid in that locality, and ever since she has lived in Kansas. Her husband found his way out of the South by some other road, and they came together at Lawrence. Very soon they went onto a farm near that town and set themselves to make a living and to bring up their children in the way they should go. There were six of these children, five sons and one daughter. Three of the sons, to the personal knowledge of the writer, graduated from the State University, where they commanded the respect of everybody. One of these boys went back to the home farm, and his white neighbors say he is the best farmer in Douglas county today—and that is saying a lot. Another of them went to the Philippine Islands, where he is doing important work in a fine way. A third one is practicing medicine in Lawrence and making a great success of himself and his profession. We do not know the other members of the family, but it is a safe guess that they are doing their share of the world's work in good, unstanding fashion. "And the mother of this splendid family was born a slave. She never did learn to read. But she had a passion for education and civilization and religion. It was the steady pressure of her firm and unbending will that sent her children to school and to school and to school, and it was the compass of her securely balanced will that sent her children to school and, to school nad to school, and it was the compass of her securely balanced soul that kept them sailing steadily in the direction of industry and honesty and self-respect, into the safe harbor of respected nd prosperous nad contented manhood and womanhood.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. THE WESTERN UNIVERSITY. This educational institution is rapidly becoming one of the best in the country. In fact, it is now a school of the first rank. Its new president is making arrangements for a big year's work and the outlook is most encouraging for another year of satisfactory educational effort. Its faculty is composed of educators of high rank. They are thoroughly alive to the interests of the institution and are interested in the education of our youth with their whole heart and are energetic and ever active in their work. Our graduates are found in many places of responsibility and usefulness. Students from a number of states have sought its benefits and are constantly knocking at its doors for admission. This is an excellent opportunity for the youth of our race and well it is, that they appreciate the advantages which are thus offered them. HEAVY LOSS TO THE SOUTH. Reports come from the densely colored population of some parts of the South to the effect that many are seeking homes in the west. This is partially caused by the antagonism to the colored people of that section. So great has become the exodus from that section that the question of labor has become a serious one. These people are well acquainted with the labor peculiar to that part of the country. The cotton fields are especially adapted to their taste and experience. The great tobacco growing sections are also dependent on that sort of skilled labor. This dissatisfaction is largely the outcome of the treatment accorded the race in the South. It is a serious matter to all concerned. The thoughtful and better white element is aware of the serious labor condition which is liable to occur in these sections and are striving to stop its momentum. Many of these people have friends in the western part of Kansas, where they went some years ago and are doing well in agricultural pursuits. They own their farms and are raising stock and are meeting with great success. They find more and better opportunities in the country than in the city. Thy find it much more agreeable to own their lands and manage their own business than to be living from hand to mouth, as many do, in the crowded cities. There they enjoy freedom, their children attend school with the whites and share the hardships and prosperity of the country. Their churches are well supported and they are respected for their worth by their white neighbors. Western Kansas offers many opportunities for responsible, skillful farmers. They can get homes on reasonable terms and can make a good living while paying for their lands. The immigration to Kansas from Dixie seems to be in earnest and bids fair to cut quite a swath in economic problems in the South land. PRIMARY LAW A FAILURE The primary is supposed to take the place of the old convention plan of nominating a ticket. The convention was called by the respective parties and delegates were chosen by the party to represent it at a convention. At a county convention to nominate delegates to state, ju J. F.

The convention, whatever it was, state, district or whatnot, met to nominate candidates of the party for which the convention was called. There were objections to that mode of nomination because, it was said, that the "bosses" controlled the conventions. But the convention, if it were Republican, did not contain Democrats or any other persons of a political affiliation different from thsoe of the Republican party. In other words, the Republican party nominated its candidates, as it ws its honest duty so to do. Now if the primray is to take the place of a convention and nominate the candidates of the party, why should Independents, Democrats or members of any party, other than Republican, participate in the primary voting the Republican ticket. In other words, what reason is there that Democrtas should take any part in naming the candidates of the Republican party? None on earth. It is dishonest for them to do so, just as it is dishonest for Republicans to vote the Democrtaic ticket in a primrya contest. The old convention plan had its weak places, but the primary has a great many more and much weaker. It is downright dishonest for any one to vote in the primary for any candidate other than the party to which he belongs. It defeats the very purpose of a primary. If the primary is to take the place of a convention, then only Republicans should vote the Republican ticket nd Democrats those of their own party, and so on. The present law is a great farce and worse than a farce. It destroys the system of a majority rule. A minority of Democrats, for example, may name the candidates for which the Republican majority will be called upon to vote at the regular election. Let us repeal that obnoxious law. If it is desired to maintain the principle that the people should name the ticket, then elect delegates by a direct vote, to form a convention and let that convention so formed nominate the ticket. That will eradicate boss rule as far as possible. Then require voters to declare their politics six months before the primary voting and by all means stop this dishonest manner of nomination. Repeal the present primary law and give us something honest, at least. . ITEMS OF RACE PROGRESS. Miss Lillis Farrell of Charleston, S. C.'has passed the state examination for expert public accountant, and has been placed in charge of the auditing bureau of a life insurance company with headquarters in Boston. She will have charge of all checking for the company in the states of North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. She is the first woman of the race to hold such a position. It was a Negro lieutenant, attached to an American regiment, who figured out accurately just how far from Paris, France, was the big gun which has been bombarding that city from a distance of 72 miles. He measured the inclination of two holes where the shell went through two nearby walls, and the rest was only a question of mathematics. Lucile Derringer, 18 years old, has won the prize given by the United States Steel Corporation for the employee turning in the greatest number of shells in their factories during the month of July.

Many prominent Negroes of Georgia and Alabama signed the letter, which staunch indorsement and expressing deep gratitude for the president's said in part: "We regard your address as the most significant expression emanating from the White House since Lincoln wrote his emancipation proclamation.

C. SHOULD BE A GOOD SOLDIER AT HOME SHOULD BE A GOOD SOLDIER AT HOME AMERIGANS WHO DO THEIR BEST ARE HELPING TO WIN THE WAR. War Savings Stamps Help to Whip the Kalser and Help Stay-at Home, Too. The American who stays at home and serves honestly in every way possible to help along the great work of winning the war the American who knows the thrill that comes at sight of the Nation's flag, at the sonud of the national hymn; the American who for one cause or another cannot go to the front with the boys and do his part in the line; such an American feels, somehow, that the most and the best he can do here, in safety, is mighty little compared to the sacrifice our soldiers make in doing the fighting for us. But there's a lot of comfort, after all, in doing your best because no man can do more. Think it over. Think of the men in the battle line when you go to bed tonight—about the time the artillery is doing its deadliest work at the front—and decide just how many War Savings you can pledge yourself to buy between June 28 and December 31, this year. A War Savings Stamp will cost you $4.17 this month—a cent more in July—and it will be-worth $5 in January, 1923, 4 per cent compound interest, a loan to your country, guaranteed by the United States of America. A box of good cigars costs-about as much as one War Savings Stamp. Which will help the country more, the stamp or the smoke? You know the answer. Every American knows it. Buy the stamp. GET THE LICKER HABIT EVERY WAR SAVINGS STAMP YOU LICK IS A SWAT AT THE KAISER. Now Is Time for Stay-at-Homes to Get in Their Best Licks. Buying War Savings Stamps will spread a habit that will be endorsed by every loyal American—the licker habit. You cannot contract the splendid habit without buying the stamps. Uncle Sam will not allow these $5.00 stamps to be licked until you have paid your $4.17 for them. By licking these stamps you are also helping lick, in another way, the bloody hordes of the Kaiser. There is no specific or laid down rule for attaching the twenty $5.00 stamps to the folder furnished by the government. You can lick the stamp or lick a spot on the folder. But first you must get the stamps. KEEP A SOLDIER IN FRANCE You Can Do It If You Join in the Great Democratic Form of Investment: War Savings Stamps differ from Liberty Bonds only in this, that their denomination is smaller and the term of maturity much shorter—four and one-half years. They are the most democratic form of investment imaginable. None is so poor he cannot buy War Savings Stamps; none so rich he would not be attracted by them. Probably no greater inducement has ever been offered to encourage thrift than by making these stamps available for purchase. A thrifty man at home will keep a fighting man in France. Save, save, save, and put what you save in War Savings Stamps. Think before you spend, and then buy a stamp. To save for yourself is beneficial; to save for your country, inspiring. In investing in government securities you are discharging a duty in this crisis, and building for yourself as well. Buy war savings stamps and help win the war. BETWEEN US AND THE KAISER. Back Up Our Soldiers and Sailors by Buying War Savings Stamps. There's nothing between us and the Kaiser's bloody horde but our soldiers and sailors and our allied forces.. We know what has happened to the countries that have been taken by the Germans. For the love of our homes, our country, and the debt we owe those who fought and are fighting our battle, let us back 'em up with all the energy and resources at our command. Don't think that patriotism ends with parading, speeches, and self-satisfied consciousness of loyalty. Spend your dollars and dimes to show your gattitude and love for the fighting men at the front. Buy War Savings Stamps, now! ARE YOU IN THIS WAR AS DEEP/AS YOU OUGHT TO BE? Now, frankly, are you and I in this war as deep as we ought to be? Ask yourself this question every day, and go straightway and invest in some more of the War Savings. Stamps. Keep it up. Don't allow yourself to believe that you have gone your limit. The limit is life itself, and you are not likely to get even a scratch in this war. You be, a non-combatant physically, but should, be a brave scrapper when it comes to buying War Savings Stamps. Mr. L. T. Hussey, state fire marshal of Kansas, reports that in five years Kansas has had 15,544 fires, and that almost twcie as many fires were caused by sparks on the roofs as from any other cause.

And I am quite sure that some of the surprises, were the many ‘things which took place, which were convincing proof, of the TRUTH of ork that has been said,—‘Along ‘the Line of Reason.” | And all of us fervently hope, that }the many which have come to us in this little campaign, have been well, | and Truly learned; and that thye will be speedily aplied.

As well also, another, of equal importance as follows, to-wit: “The certainty, of the advantage taken of, us;—by others than our- selves,—on account of the* lack of Unity and Fairness among us.” And ther is another, which is of more importance in our affairs, thar all the other—It is the un-warrant- ed, yet certain and positive prejudice —which controls and governs the ac- tions and relations of others toward: us, We have just had added, fresh ant positive proof of the existence of al tugs truths;—and in my humbl judgment, it stands as positive proo of the Righteousness and Expedien cy of what appeared “Along the Lin of Reason” in last week's issue Read it.

Several threshing machines have been taken from the field by the Food Administration ‘recently for wasting grain. Most of: these have been returned to the ficld after re- pairs had been made. The first ma- chine to be removed from the field permanently belonged to Charles Mc- ‘Millen of Oatville, in Sedgwick coun- ty. . "Tt was not doing good work so Me- [Millen asked the» Food Administra- tion to send an inspeétor. A man was sent out from the'county thresh- ing committee. He applied the blan- ket test. “By this test a wagon sheet is placed on the ground and the blow- & was directed against it so that the straw and shattered grain was caught in the blanket, After two and a half bushels of grain were threshed it was found that three pints oft loose grain and about three pints of un- threshed grain had gone over into the straw, i Attempts’ were made to readjust the machine so it would do good work, but it was peraistently pro- German and continued to waste grain. An expert for the threshing ma- chine company attempted to correct the evil, but without results, It was finally decided the machine was de- fective. McMillen was anxious te dc good work and was willing to co-op- erate with, the Food Administration Since the machine was defective it was ordered back to the factory The manufacturer will stand the loss as the machine was guaranteed. Threshing committees in the vari- ous counties are checking: up on the work, According to the Food Administra. tion rules the windrows must be Taked after the shocks of wheat are stacked or threshed. Grain tight wagons must be used. The men must clean up about the thresher when the setting is threshed. * The. Food Administration has pow. er to enforce the regulations unde: othe provisions of the Food Contro Act which forbids waste of food ai long as the war lasts. Heavy fine: and imprisonment can be assesse¢ for waste of grain. The Kansas administrator, howev er, expects to ‘be able to get alon; without resorting to severe penalties because Kansas people as a rul shave proven to be very loyal to al win-the-war work. DON'T WASH EGGS. “Grocers receiving eggs they ex- pect to keep fresh on hand any Jength of time should not wash them, even if they are dirty,” says the Food Administration. “The dirt is wholly on the outside and only affects the appearance of the egg. The shell of an egz contains a gelatinous sub- stance which prevents air and germs from entering the eggs. Washing ce- gtroys this substance. “Many customers will not buy soil- ed eggs, but it is desirable that the grocer should explain these facts to his patrons. The public has been trained to demand and buy clean eggs It should be remembered that dirty eggs, while not pleasing to the eye are often the better. According te the Department of Agriculture, more than five million eggs spoil unnec- essarily in cold storage every yeat because they have been washed o1 have in some way become wet before being sent to market.” SWITZERLAND ADOPTS COMPULSORY FARMING A recent Swiss decree provides for eompuléory crop production by all land owners up to the 1914 acreage as a minimum. All grain growers ‘who fail to deliver the required amount into the hands of the authori- ties must pay fourfold the maximum price as indemnity for their defi- ciency. The fact that Switzerland is a republic makes this decree of um usual interest. BAKER IS PENALIZED. ~The Mcll Bakery of Olathe has been forbidden by the Food. Administra- tion to make any bakery products ex- cept bread and rolls. This is a per- manent order, A temporary order was made a few weeks ago, pending investigation. The investigation is complete and shows that the bakery used more than its allotment of flour during the critical period when we were trying to feed the Allies with the 1917 erop. _ “On your honor as a woman, how mach sugar:do you need?” jai | “Maximum Canning with Minimum Suger’—tht summer slogan.

WANTS TO MARRY; SO IS INTERNED Here is an example of what an enemy alien will do to meet the “kultured” ‘class of der faderlund: Miss Paula Katzenleithner, 19 years old, a native of Munich, Germany, a loyal supporter of the Kaiser and of German “kultur,” will be interned for the duration of the war, follow- ing the receipt Tuesday by Fred Robertson, United States district at- torncy, of a presidential warrant or- dering her internment. But Miss Paula will.not get where she hoped to be—some place where she could Germans of the oposite sex” Paula wanted to get away from American savagery, and she will, but she wiil be sent to a camp for women only. Miss * Katzenleithner—no kin to the Katzenjammers of Sunday news- paper fame—came to this country five years ago to “study English and the American customs’ and ways,’ and has been supporting herself by slinging hash in a white restaurant in Wichita. Her admiration for the Kaiser, her hope that all the Amer+ ican soldiers would be U-boated and drowned, caused fellow employecs of the eating house to report her, ‘and Col. Fred Robertson and the United States marshal’s office will do the rest. In a signed affidavit, Miss Paula expressed the hope that Germany would win this war, and that she’ could not under any circumstance be disloyal to the Kaiser. She will be taken to,an internment camp soon, and Wichita ang Kansas City, Kan- sos will sigh no sighs over her de- parture. She is said to have been particu- larly rabid against the colored Americans who were, forced into her society on business.

Mack of Newton was selected at the Republican primary by a big majority vote as the armor-bearer, as the nominee to represent the Eighth district in the next congress. According to the decision of the electors of this district at the August primaries, Mr. Mack will receive the full Republican vote at the November election and in addition will receive a large vote from other political parties. While The Kansan was out and out for Mr. Mack and will support him at the November election, it would have been just as strong for any other Republican candidate who might have been nominated. So long as a man measures up to the ideals of The Kansan and is "weighed in the balance and not found wanting" it will never be found using two brushes to lather a man's face.
