KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. SEE "TARZZ THE WARM TIES OF THE FRENCH AX Colored Americans Wint diers Among the First Lieutenant Sherman D. S Colored Americans Win Place as Men and Soldiers Among the Allied Fighters. Gray Printing Company The mad war dog of Europe has been muzzled, they say, though probably a million Hunnish murderers are still in arms. Allied armies begin their demobilization, and the nations that fought for democracy think of the early dawn of peace. The survivors of America's greatest fighters begin to return to the land they love—a land that calls them "niggers"—ravages their women, destroys their property and gives them the worst of every bargain—yet these valiant sons return with a smile listened with mud and blood with many vacancies in their ranks—yes, they come an unavenging people with the grace of God in their hearts—the greatest lovers of mankind. Not yet, but soon we hope to count among them Kansas City, Kansas' own hero, Sergeant-Major Sherman D. Scruggs, Jr., who disregarded the shells from the Boche guns to serve humanity, and for which bravery he was cited and decorated by the French government. When the news French government. When the news reached home, the manager of the Gray Printing Co., feeling that something should be done in appreciation of Kansas City, Kansas' first hero in France, successfully managed the Patriotic testimonial held at the Eighth Street Baptist Tabernacle, August 20, 1918. A silver gold-lined loving cup was presented young Scruggs (by proxy) at the First A. M. E. Church, Sept. 5th, financed by public collections, sale of pictures as souvenirs and personal funds of the man who saw to it that the affair did not fail in any sense of the word. For some reason information of what the home folks had done did not reach young Scruggs, now a leiutenant, until January 10th of this year. Lieutenant Scruggs' letter follows: 365th Infantry, American Evped, Forces, A. P. O. 766, January 10, 1919. Today I was very much surprised to receive the long delayed news that the good people of Kansas, City, Kansas; have paid me much honor and many compliments. I feel that too much has been done. For I do not feel that I have merited or deserve those gratuities. I have only done my part as a soldier in this war for SUMNER HIGH WINS TWO The undefeated basket ball team of Sumner High school took a trip to Sedalia and Jefferson City, Mo., last week. George R. Smith college was defeated by a score of 34 to 14. The crowd which turned out enjoyed a clean, fast game. Friday night a social was given in honor of the boys at the college. The team left for Jefferson City at 2 a.m., the same night. The Lincoln Institute team of Jefferson City deserves great credit for the stiff resistance which it offered. The night's travel and the small unheated hall kept Sumner's team from showing off to the best advantage. With three minutes left to play the score stood 12 to 10 in favor of Lincoln. Sumner fought gamely and tied the score. An extra period of five minutes was necessary to decide the game. The final score was: Sumner 16, Lincoln 14. Saturday night the members of the team were guests of honor at the meeting of the Literary societies and later at a social given by the students of Lincoln Institute. The instructors who accompanied the team were banqueted by President Richardson and later they attended a reception given in their honor by Professor Jacobs, who formerly taught in Kansas City. Those who went on the trip were Mr. King and Mr. Williams of Sumner High school; Mr. Taylor of Lincoln High school, Kansas City, Mo.; who acted as referee; Capt. McCormick, Alvin Riley, Joe Lewis, Seawell, Taylor, Fred Douglas, Edward Mr. Junius J. W. Gray, Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. dear Mr. Gray: AN OF THE A THE AND NEGRO SOLDIERS Place as Men and Sol- Allied Fighters. Scruggs Writes to Head of The democracy. I am thinking that the mentioning of my name in a French order was more largely due to the strong ties of friendship between my French comrades and me than to any deeds of valor. But I must say that at present my former regiment (370th Infantry) has had about 400 men and officers decorated with the distinguished service cross and the French Legion of Honor medal and Croix de Guerre. The black mans' service with the French divisions has been of the highest order. He has made for himself a warm place in the hearts of the French Army men. I have been very successful in the service. As you know I voluntarily enlisted in the ranks as a private and by hard work and soldierly effort I was promoted from grade to grade until now I am a commissioned officer. I was selected as one of seven from a possible 2,900 men to become a candidate at the Army Candidates' School in France. There were about 300 men in the school. Only 61 were colored. Fifty-five of these were commissioned. These boys made a high record while in that school, wining the respect and admiration of their officers and instructors. The training that we received there fitted us for the great service that was before us. Our instructors were perhaps the best selecte men from the Allied forces. Our record there gave to the other nations represented on the faculty an insight into the abilities and capabilities of the Negro. The grades made by the men were high. The highest being made was 98%, by Fred D. Roseboro, of Atlanta, Georgia, and Miller J. Whittaker of Orangeburg, S. C. I made a general grade of 962-10%. I am with the 92nd Division in the 365th Regiment of Infantry. We are now preparing to return to America. Of course you know that we will be glad to get back. I want to thank you especially for your kindly interest in me. I have every reason to know that you and your good wife have been my true and sincere friends. With best wishes for your continued success and good health. I am, Sincerely yours, SHERMAN D. SCRUGGS, JR. 'Lieut., U. S. Army, in France. Lewis, Marshall Edwards and Hugh Brown. Captain Joe McCormick of the Sumner High school was the individual star of both games. JAMES PURSLEY LAID TO REST The funeral of Mr. James Pursley was largely attended Sunday afternoon, which was held from Mount Pleasant Baptist church on Third street, of which the deceased was a member. Rev. George McNeal officiated. Mr. Pursley was a member of Kaw Valley Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and also of the Uniform Rank, which turned out, with another company from Missouri, led by the Second Regiment band, with Col, Rife in command. The floral pieces were many and expensive. Undertaker Nathan Thatcher had charge of the funeral.

Griffin was confined to her room several days this week with neuralgia. A WELL KNOWN WOMAN HERE DIES IN CHICAGO Mrs. Margaret Williams, who recently died at her home, 6552 Champlain avenue, Chicago, Ill., was one of Chicago's leading Negro business women. She had been engaged in practicing chiriopody in Chicago for twenty years and had occupied an office suite in the Republic building, corner of State and Adams streets, for the past twelve years. She was classed as one of the best of her profession and among her patients were some of the wealthiest people of Chicago; was an active member of the Illinois Chiropodist Society and highly respected by its members, both colored and white. She was a woman of strong will power, and through her exceptional ability as a business woman, she had acquired considerable wealth. Besides owning the beautiful apartment in Chicago, where she made her home, she was the owner of real estate in California, municipal bonds and industrial stocks in a large corporation. Mrs. William was well known in Kansas City, having made several trips here visiting with Mrs. Mayme Blue Jenkins of Kansas City, Kans., who was her business associate. She leaves a host of friends of this city to mourn her death. In her home she was a very quiet and unpretentious person, charitable, and ever ready to assist a friends. Any worthy movement for the uplift of the race received her generous and hearty support. She was a member of Bethel Baptist church, having confessed a hope in Christ when 11 years old. Mrs. Mayme Blue Jenkins, her business partner, has assumed charge and will continue the business. Mrs. Lillian Lewis, formerly of Kansas City, Mo., will assist her in the office. Mrs. A. J. Bouldin, 611 Parallel avenue, met with a painful accident Saturday at her home, losing her balance while on her way to the cellar, falling to the bottom, breaking her arm at the wrist. No one being at home she lay for some time unconscious. The many warm friends of Mrs. Bouldin regret very much of her accident, and hope for her a speedy recovery. Her sister, Mrs. Stone, of Lawrence, came immediately and took care of her until her mother got here from Fort Scott. Mr. John Chinneth, one of Wichita's successful business men, was in the city over Sunday. He stopped with Rev. Griffin Sunday night. LINCOLN DAY CLUB HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING ON 12TH The Kansas Lincoln Day Club held their annual meeting and banquet Wednesday evening at First A. M. E. church. A very interesting and appropriate program had been arranged by the executive committee by its chairman, Lieut. I. F. Bradley. The banquet was elegantly served by the Famous Building Club of the church. Those who made addresses were Prof. G. B. Buster, who made the welcome address; Judge James H. Guy, of Topeka responded in his usual elegant words of oratory. Dr. Chas. Moates, of Leavenworth, was the next speaker and his speech was full of thought and truths of the present day. Judge T. W. Bell of Leavenworth was the principle speaker of the evening and for forty minutes he held his hearers spellbound with words of weight, touching upon and contrasting the man, in whose honor this program was held and men of the present day. Dr. J. F. Griffin, pastor of the First A. M. E church, was the last speaker, and those who know him, can imagine the kind of address he made. It was full of facts, backed up with fire-eating sentences of beautiful language. Prof. Reynolds and his Sumner High quartet sang several beautiful numbers and Miss Ella Neely performed on the piano, with a solo, which was greatly enjoyed. Lieut. I. F. Bradley, Jr., was elected president for the next year and Lawyer Dorsey Green was made chairman of the executive committee. The next annual meeting will be held in this city. Lieut. Bradley acted as master of ceremonies. GREAT THRONGS CROWD THE MILO EVERY NIGHT "The Milo," under its efficient and business manager, Mr. Stone, has easily taken its place among the best and highest class movies in the two cities. The class of pictures and that clean and genial management of its head has made it so. This house seats seven hundred and it is full to the entrance seven nights in the week at both shows. Every night has its-tars and this is the only movie theatre in Greater Kansas City that can boast of such. For the past week hundreds were seen lined up on the street way before the hour of opening. It certainly is a house of personality. STATE WIDE MASS MEETING The local branch at Topeka of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have made a state wide call for a meeting to be held in that city February 22nd, to convene at 12, noon, and hold afternoon and evening meetings. In a circular being sent out, the executive committee is urging churches, societies and civic bodies throughout the state to be represented, while all of the Kansas N. A. A. C. P. branches are expected to be present. Matters of vital importance concerning the colored people of Kansas are bringing them together at this time. Ex-Governor Capper is the president of this local branch. Lawyer James H. Guy is chairman of the executive committee. QUINDARO, KANS. Western University choral society was the guest at a Lincoln Day program and luncheon at Kansas City University. It was under the auspices of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A, President Peck spoke. Twentyfour students took a stand for the new life as a result of the week of prayer. Under the direction of Miss Maude Dunson, a musical program was given at the A. M. E. church Sunday evening. It was enjoyed by all. The Sewing Circle served a dinner Tuesday at Mrs. McMillan's. It was for the benefit of the church. Mrs. Rucker is its president. Mr. Allen Douglas is about again, selling herbs. Miss Harriet Jenkins is doing nicely teaching school in Missouri. Hear the debate at W. U. Friday evening, Feb. 14th. THOS. KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. The Atmosphere of Civility Changed from Chicago to Louisville, Says He The Attendance at Meeting of the Negro Press Association was Good and He Enjoyed It. Mobile, Ala.—Have you ever attempted to study the civilization of this country of ours? It is certainly a medley, and I do not hesitate to tell you so, because I have passed through it, but let me say with all of its faults and good traits I love her still. For any country that can take its soldiers and navy and go over to a foreign country to establish freedom for the weaker people, and proclaim to the world "Universal Democracy" will certainly include its own citizens. parts. I talked with him for a while and then I went to church, because I was there on Sunday. In the morning I went to see Rev. Hunter, and at night I went with Rev. C. H. Harris, president of the State University, and a great big preacher. Getting around to see people in Louisville, was to me a source of real pleasure. I met the big preacher of the town, Dr. J. H. Frank, and talked with him. Now when I went to the Y. M. C. A. of the city and the secretary was William H. Stewart, the I see the future at home, men who are arrested, tried by a jury, and judge and if guilty punished by the law and not by lawless mobs. I see the time when there will not be any more human barbecues in this land of the free and the home of the brave. I like to sing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," It means much to me. I know that some of these heathens here in our country have been trying to embarrass our good President by burning men and lynching women in this country while he is sitting at the peace table pleading for other nations, and trying to make a league of nations. Shame on them! But you just wait until our great President returns home and he is going to show them a thing or two. He is going to show them that when he spoke out against lynching a few months ago, he was not playing, but he meant what he said and every word of it. We have never asked for any special legislation, and we are not doing it now. We want only one law, and that for all Americans. We are not so important that we would ask the country to pass a law providing special accommodation in the trains, waiting rooms, steamboats, street cars or any other place. We are opposed to prescription of any kind. We only want anything that any other American citizen wants. To America we have been true and we are asking that America be true to us. Whether night or day, hot or cold, we respond to the call of the government, and will help to put the enemy to flight. These heathens in our country have tried themselves since our father has been away. They are still trying to see what they can do to humiliate us. How long they are going to keep this thing up, I am not prepared to say, for they have kept it up too long already. He will be home in a few days, and I believe that he will then do some turning around, and some one is going-to be hurt. Just to think there is now an American citizen whose father was considered the greatest of Americans, who cannot return to his home—Booker T. Washington, Jr., and he is some where in America today. He was advised to leave Tuskegee, and was it for the nameless crime? I am told it was simply because he did not approve of the lynchings in Alabama, and that was sufficient for him to lose his own life, and if he had not been able to escape he would now be with his father in the other world. I was in Chicago for a few days, and had the pleasure of getting around there. I could go in the theatres, in the eating places and be treated as all Americans should be treated. I enjoyed getting around. Well, I got away from there and found my way to another part of the world. I stopped over in Indianapolis for a few hours, and there I met Dr. Robert Harper, one of the great men of our country. He is the leading veterinarian in that part of the world. I also met Miss Sayde Mays, one of the teachers in the public school there She was a fine young woman. I am told that she is one of the best teachers in the system. I stopped for a little while at the office of the Freeman, and found them putting brains on paper to hand out to their reader. I shook hands with Editor Knox, and his son who is also an editor. They are busy people there. It was to me a source of pleasure. Leaving there I made it to Louisville, where I found just a little different atmosphere. I had the pleasure of meeting Editor William H Stewart and his family. He is indeed an interesting character and a man of parts. I talked with him for a while and then I went to church, because I was there on Sunday. In the morning I went to see Rev. Hunter, and at night I went with Rev. C. H. Harris, president of the State University, and a great big preacher. Getting around to see people in Louisville, was to me a source of real pleasure. I met the big preacher of the town, Dr. J. H. Frank, and talked with him. Now when I went to the Y. M. C. A. of the city and the secretary was William H. Stewart, the son of his father. He is making a fine secretary, but I fear that he is not going to remain there long, for soon he must be about his other business. He is one of the best trained young men in this race of ours. Off from Louisville to Nashville, to attend the meting of the National Negro Press Association. You see since I have been writing, it has given me the big head, and I believe that I am some newspaperman now myself, hence I thought I would go and mingle with them. Well, I met them. Reaching town, I went to the home of Bishop Evans Tyree, of the African Methodist and he received me just like he was receiving another Bishop, and made me feel at home. He was not so well, but his wife and daughter received me. Mrs. Tyree is one of the women who knows how to entertain, and she is some entertainer, believe me. She knows what to do and how to do it. The grand daughter is Miss Saunders. I was delighted with these people. Now back to the Press Association. Sir Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati, is the chairman of the executive committee, and C. J. Perry, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, is present of the Association, and Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville is the secretary, and there was present Miss Johnson, for Newport News, Va.; Miss Hailey, from Atlanta, and then there were others present. One man was there from Toronto. I just acted like I saw them act, and went where I saw them go. I was thrown in company with Editor King and heard his great lecture. He comes from Dallas, Texas, and is worth while. I was so glad to see and hear him. Here is where I got another civilization, for in the cars you will see signs, "That part for white patrons." Then of course, in the back you will see the other sign, "That part for colored patrons." On the trains were signs for the races. I think when I go to heaven, if God wants to make me a white man. I would simply get a linen duster and a couple of palm leaf fans and take my chances on going the other way. You see if God should change me to a white man, then He would justify the treatment I get down here, and declare that it was necessary for me to be white in order to enjoy, the pleasures of heaven. We have some fine people in town. I met Hon. J. C. Napier, president of the, National Negro Business League; A. M. Johnson, editor and undertaker; W. J. Hale, president of the state school; President Inman E. Page, of Roger Williams University; B. C. H. Clark, Secretary William Haynes, of the National Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist convention; Assistant Secretarv S. Harris, and many others. I had a fine time in the city, and made it from there to Birmingham, Ala. I shall bring this letter to a close now. N. A. A. C. P. AT THE FORUM The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will have charge of the program at the Forum Sunday. Rev. A. C.

Chicago, once referred to by its mayor as the second "German" city is now the first Negro city in America. Eestimates tonight by Negro leaders set the Negro population of Chicago at 125,000. Two years ago the number was 25,000. Demand for labor, high wages and the awakening of the Negro through travels induced by the war are given as causes for the tremendous influx. Pittsburgh and a number of other northern and eastern cities are rapidly increasing their Negro population. Some years ago there started an exodus from the southern cotton fields, which alarmed the cotton and other producers. Finally the threatened condition was relieved. But of very recent years the exodus has again begun. It all grows out of the conditions of the race in the south. The frequency of lynching is not the only thing that has created this widespread dissatisfaction in that section. Notwithstandig the unprecedented high price paid for cotton, the growers refused to increase the salary of laborers commensurate with the increased profits. In fact, the pay of the colored laborer is not as great as that of his more fortunate white brother, it is reported in many instances and communities. Often the colored producer is not paid as high a price for his cotton as is the white grower. Just why such conditions are allowed to obtain is difficult to understand when the south is so largely dependent upon colored labor, especially in the cotton and cane and tobacco fields. In these lines they are experts and they are adapted to the climatic conditions there, still there are no indications that there is any ground for hoping for better things and if the south loses its most faithful laborers it has no one but itself to blame for the unhappy conditions. Miss Margaret Johnson, for a number of years, one of the brightest and most efficient educators in the State of Indiana, now a resident of this city, living at 840 Freemah avenue, and who is known in the east as a poetess of rare ability, has been persuaded to place some of her poems on the market, and we carry in our pages an ad mentioning only two of the many she has in her possession, "Landing of the Slaves" and "Woman," of which both compares with the best in this line in this country. Every home should have hanging on their wall, one or more of these jewels. NEW CONSTITUTION. What has become of the old Democratic party that was delighted to contend, "Let the People Rule," as its slogan? Its history has been a contention for the voice of the people. Since the days of Jefferson, it has contended for states' rights. But here we have the people rule theory knocked into a cocked hat, as Mr. Wilson once said should happen to Bryan. The Kansas state legislature had before it a proposition to submit to the people the question. "Shall the state hold a constitutional convention to prepare a new constitution for adoption?" It has nothing whatever to do with the merits of the case as to whether we should have J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor. Residence, 1111 North Eighth St. Phone Bell West 2904. ORDER OF SERVICES. 9:30 A.

The morning service was largely attended and when Dr. Griffin finished his eloquent and instructive gospel sermon, all could say in one accord, "I was glad I went up to the house of the Lord," At the close before the choir could sing, ten stalwart men and women and some for their first time, marched to the altar, to be read in the church of their choice of which a new class was organized, with one of its members, Mr. Henry, appointed as its leader, No. 37. The choir loft was jammed with voices, whose sweetness vibrated into every heart and corner of the auditorium. Mrs. Hardy, its choirist, in the short time she has been as its leader, has unearthed and developed musical talent that was unknown, even to themselves, and that's not all, says the choirist. Dr. Griffin delivered just as strong a sermon at the evening service, as in the morning to a nice audience. Many visitors were present all day. of which many declared they enjoyed the great spiritual feast. Come again. You are always welcome. The pastor will preach another special sermon this Sunday and invites the public and the stranger to come to the house of the Lord and hear His gospel preached. Send your children to Sabbath school if you can not come with them, says the superintendent, Prof. Brown. 9:30 is the hour. Come to the Allen League, young people, says its president, where you can do some actual, living good for yourself and those with whom you associate. The official board had a fine meeting Monday night. Board meets every Monday night, 8 p. m. a new constitution or not, but simply to ask the people if they want a convention? Should that be submitted then, the question of a new constitution would come up for discussion on its merits. Whether we wanted to incur the expenses of a constitutional convention or not, would be considered from its merits alone. But the question as to whether the matter of having a convention or not, should be submitted to the people of the state. They should be given the opportunity to determine the matter. Yet the vote to submit this question to the people was defeated by a solid Democratic vote in the legislature. Again we ask where is the good old Democratic party of the people? There could not possibly be any valid excuse not to allow the people to say whether or no they wanted a constitutional convention. Unquestionably, they have a right to answer that query and should have been granted the opportunity to say. It does not pay to shut off the people in questions of that kind. Let us say whether we want a constitutional convention or not. SUSPENSORIES You won't be comfortable till you worn Schnoter's If your drug store doesn't carry them, send for booklet.

Wilson, whose name appeared in a recent casualty list under the head, "Wounded, Degree Undetermined," is a Kansas Aggie freshman trackster of two years ago. "Chalkey," as Wilson was known to everyone, had made good as a hurdler, high jumper and spinner on the Manhattan High School track team, and appeared to be good material for the Kansas Aggie Squad. Letters to W. B. Wilson, the father, at Manhattan, state that "Chalkey" was in the Aronine light with the 137th Infantry. Beyond getting the skin knocked off his nose, having the pack strap passing over his shoulder shot in two and his shoulder bruised, and having one f.h.s. leggings, ripped by a machine gun bullet, Wilson writes that he was not badly hurt. Wilson is only 18 years old. A HOME FOR CARD OF THANKS. CARD OF THANKS. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. We meet today to inculcate Within the hearts of men A man who's called by many Our greatest citizen.

It is said Jacob lived to be 142 years. The Sewing Circle met at the church Thursday at 2 p.m. They are doing good work. Mrs. Willa Rombey is president. The Mission Circle met at the church Friday at 2 p.m. They enjoyed a good lesson Mrs H, Giddon is president. We also have a cradle roll of our Sunday school. Mrs. Sallie Fitzhugh is president. We were sorry to hear of the death of little Ida Mae Peoples. She was a young member of the cradle rolljust a year old. Dr. Jackson officiated at the funeral. Mrs. M. Hicks was elected president of the choir. The members that were reported ill are: Sister Brannon, Sister Fields, and Brother Sexton, and others which were not reported. We pray their speedy recovery. We have lined up for work, the members being divided into clubs, each club having a captain to raise money for God's cause. Many of our good and sainted Christians were called on to lead prayer meeting by the pastor. We are having good meetings every Wednesday evening. Rev. Cornealus Crump preached last Wednesday. All enjoyed his remarks. Mrs. Odelia Lewis-Kiel's funeral services were held from Metronolitan church Thursday at 2 p. m. Rev. D. A. Holmes officiated. Many beautiful florals were received. Prof and Mrs. J. J. Lewis, the parents and other relatives, have the sympathy of the community. The Masonic building committee had a small reception for the Matrons, Officers and Masters of the lodges of the Masonic fraternity. Mr. Cunnigan and many others paid tribute to the late Mr. Pursley at his funeral at Pleasant Green church, Sunday. Miss Marie Clymer, a teacher, at 1220 East Twenty-third street. Kansas City, Mo., is a new subscriber to our paper. Mrs. O. B, Johnson is better, but has not been out since Jan. 8th. Mrs. S. H. Thompson has been sick this week. In an address before the State Bar Association at Topeka, Senator A. M. Keene of Fort Scott told the lawyers that 193 Kansas attorneys were in the army during the recent war and 121 became officers. He stated that, of this number two were brigadier generals, two colonels, two lieutenant colonels, six majors, twelve captains, twenty-nine first lieutenants, fifty-two second lieutenants, eleven sergeants, five corporals, fifteen privates and the grade of fifty-seven was not known to the speaker. Mr. Keene gave an idea of the extent to which the law schools of the nation have been depleted by the war. He said: "At the opening of the law schools in 1918 the loss in attendance was 75 per cent. Fourteen law schools have suspended operations entirely and have quietly given up the ghost." Mr. Keene spoke on the rapid "evolution" and changes in the profession from that of comparatively a few years ago when budding legal genii gained their schooling in law offices, while now practically all law students attend law schools. He declared that the "age of commercialism" of recent years had spread that "dire plague of codification" over the profession and has "destroyed its science," as it existen under the common law. Liberty Fish Market Kansas City, Kansas, can justly feel proud of one business house, if no other, and that is the Liberty Fish Market, at 450 Minnesota avenue, which opened only a few weeks ago in this special arranged room for this mammoth sea food market. One can buy from a minnow up to a whale—for it's every day and fresh from the pure and living waters. Can fish of every kind and oysters of all sizes in bulk are plentiful. Mr. Worth, its genial manager, with a number of pleasant and courteous assistants, are continually kept busy waiting on the steady stream of customers who patronize this solendid market. We only regret that such a market had come to us long ago. For Street Commissioner—Re-election JAMES L. BEGGS For Commissioner of Finance—Re-election GERALD B.

HOME PHO METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation was present at 11 a. m., to listen to the Memorial service of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Pastor D. A. Holmes read from Job XIV 1-2 and spoke of Roosevelt, the great Christian, fearless leader with a strenuous life. He compared him with Paul, Daniel and John, the great Christian leaders in Bible times, and made a beautiful metaphor of how we should all emulate Christ, our greatest leader and Saviour by keeping busy working for God. The choir had special music for the occasion as follows: Voluntary, "Shuberts' Death Song" Mrs. W G. Wood. at the pipe organ. "America," choir and congregation. Dennis, Offertory, Organ Fantasy on "How Firm a Foundation," with variations very beautiful, by the organist. After the memorial sermon, the choir and congregation sang, "Why Not Now?" so sweetly that a little child was the first to unite with the church, then the pastor led the congregation in singing, "Little Children, Who Love Their Redeemer, are the Jewels" It was os impressive that grown ups wept and some of the older ones joined the church also. The service was closed with the "Star Spangled Banner," "Gloria Patria," and a verbal and musical benediction. At 4 p. m., a large crowd heard Attorney L A Knox, Prof S. French and Attorney Bruce speak on exPresident Roosevelt at the Forum. Rev. A. Royston led the B. Y. P. U.'leson at 6:30. Rev. A. Morgan will lead next Sunday's lesson.

It is in nations setting a most pos the "sun high sea They Much is being said since the war and just be fore its close about establishing in Jerusalem a Jewish state. This has been advocated largely by the non-Jews. But listen to the voice of the Jew in America. He is historically opposed to any such idea or condition. He feels and rightfully so, that he is a citizen of the United States and of the world, for, that matter. He is not in favor of being separated from mankind simply because he happens to be a Jew. He is an inhabitant of all countries. nr where he desires to live he goes. He is prospering in every well governed country. He does not hesitate to let the president of the United States know that he does not agree with him in this matter. The Jew desires no special legislation. Suppose a separate state were set aside for the Jew. He suffers intensely as it is in some countries. He is hounded, circum-scribed and humiliated. If Jerusalem or any place were allotted for him, he could not live in peace anywhere else. He could not compete for business with other races, for he would be constantly asked why he does not go to "his own state." All Jews do not want to live in the old country. All Jews are not going to live in the old country. L O 7, 1919 New Jersey RZAN At 7:30 p, m, Pastor Holmes preached fine from Matt. 22:12, "The Speechles Guest." Several Anglo- were present.

Hultz is chairman of the women to get refreshments and make arrangements. Mesdames Holmes, W. G. Wood, Miss Olive Henderson and others are on the program committee. Mrs. S. L. Johnson is treasurer for the women's money and he said he reserved Mrs. M. C. Mathews for the public committee. He paid a great tribute to her, saving. "She is a fine writer, and somewhat like Isaiah, 'the prophet." A large collection was taken day and night. Come next Sunday, Feb. 16th, as there will be something very interesting at this church.

It is interesting to note that the nations that speak he loudest for setting aside the Jew have been the most positive in demanding a place in the "sun" even to the freedom of the high seas. They resent restriction from any part of the earth. They desire to go to any part of the earth where an idea, a scene or an event will add to their least advantage in thought, word or deed. And this is right. The same right should be accorded all. This is the thought that should be driven home. This is what the Jew wants. If he deserves to go, let him go. If he desires to stay, let him stay in peace and harmony. There is a striking parallel to the life story of the Jews which we will run later. G. A. GREGG. Lodge Notices EUREKA LODGE NO. 2. I. O.
