MATINEE AT THE MILO, SUNDAY, 2 P.M. FINE PICTURES. 10th & New Jersey KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. J. O. VISITS THE A. & T. COLLEGE OF NORTH CAROLINA Greensboro, N. C.—I find that they get education in this country, in summer, as well as in winter, and I am here looking at young men and women getting some education here at this school. Now I say this school and you don't know what I am talking about, hence I will have to tell you. It is the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, which is one of the agencies at work developing our people in this America. They have had school all the winter down here, and now they have had it all summer, and it is about to close. Those who attend the summer school are men and women who are teaching and some of them bosses over schools themselves, but they must keep up. They realize that if they are going to teach they must keep up, and to keep up means study, and that is just what they have been doing here for six weeks, and will have all the month of August for vacation. I am thinking myself that I will go into some of these schools myself and get some of that education while it is being passed around and let the world know that I am no longer a bluff. I have been advised that I am not so much of an educated map, and the stuff I was shooting out was just beef or something like that, and it was President James B. Dudley, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College who told me this, and I will have to accept it. I was introduced to this long experienced educator, and I said to him out of my head, "Donkotuliterum antikudel rokum tomonosus." He looked at me, and it was then that he gave me a straight lecture, and even invited me to come to the summer school, where he could get even a better shot at me, and when he shot at me I felt my littleness and have decided to try and get some education. Pray for me that I might hold out and hold on to the end of time. They have some school up here in this place, and it is because the people are seeking after knowledge. This school is for young men only in the winter, but the summer school is open to all and 275 took advantage this summer. Prof. James R. Dudley, A.M., is the president, and associated with him are strong men, and some women in the summer school, but none in the winter school. I would like to tell you of all of them, but time and space would not permit me to do all this, hence you will please excuse me from doing this Men from suca schools as Cornell, University of Chicago, Union University; Myrtilla Minor Normal school; Ithica Conservatory of Music; State Normal, Montgomery, Ala.; Barber Memorial Seminary; Pratt Institute; Drexel Institute; Hampton Institute, Shaw University, and many others. In the winter school they are to have two fine additions that I know of. Prof. N. A. Murray, graduate from Cornell university, and a man who has made a mark in the agricultuar business. He won some real national prizes in the summer garden business. He has attracted the attention of the world in gardening and the like until he now ranks with the experts, and his opinion is much sought. He has been conected with such schools at A. Branch Normal, Pine Bluff, Ark.; Bordentown Industrial school, New Jersey, and other places I have been. He is up to the scratch and I congratulate North GOSPEL TENT MEETING Drawing Large Crowds at Fourth Street and Virginia Avenue FINE SPEAKING AND GOSPEL SINGING Come and Help Us. L. W. Browne, Pastor Carolina on getting hold, of him. There is H. M. Taylor, a graduate from Purdue University, who is to direct the mechanical department. I did not tell you that Prof. Murray would be director of agriculture. I had the pleasure of getting here to hear some speeches, and while I did not understand all I looked wise, and took in and will buy me a dictionary if I can get one second-hand to find out some of the things I heard. They have some fine speakers, and they were called specialists. Such as Dr. Leroy Locke, a graduate from Harvard, and won a scholarship known as the Rhodes and got his finishing touch in Oxford, England. He made four lectures; L.B. Moore, a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania, and connected with Howard university, two lectures; Prof. Benjamin Brawley, dean of Moorehouse college, and one of the literary men of the race, five lectures; Eugene Kinkle Jones, A.M., Executive Secretary, Urban League, two lectures, and others whose names I do not recall. Perhaps you want to know how I got here? Well, I will tell you, I was at the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias. I was invited to come to the meeting, and decided to go, although I was not able to recall on the things that were done to me in order to get me to Florida, but I was there just the same. I went to the door, the man arose, shook my hands, and I said "Liver," and he said "Onions and Bacon," and I was permitted to enter. This is educated grand lodge. Some of the most noted men in the state are in it, and the Grand Chancelor is Dr. J. W. Jones, of Winston-Salem, and he is some medical doctor. I found in there dentists, lawyers, college presidents and scholars, professors and teachers, bankers, and what nots.. All were there, and this is why I had the pleasure of meeting that other great educator, a young man who is doing so much to foster education. He has placed his life on the altar, giving up his own education, his life and turning attention to other things. I mean by that he got his education and seeing the necessity of it, he turned attention to the establishment of a training school. One of the finest, young men I have ever met. I also met that great insurance man, Prof. J. M. Avery, assistant manager of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. He was grand master of exchequer by appointment, the man who held the job quit this world. Mr. Avery was elected to the grand lodge and it was a wise selection. I am glad that I was there to see him re-elected. But let me tell you them men met Tuesday and closed Wednesday. They were business men and, strictly business. I am glad that I had the pleasure of meeting these intelligent men, and I shall never forget that other good man in the city, Z. Alexander, who was the locater of homes and he sent me to one of the finest homes in Charlotte, the home of C. B. Bailey, a man of wealth and influence. He is manager of the Royal Insurance Company. His wife is a woman well trained, and his daughter, Susie Bailey, will graduate next year from Scotia Seminary, Concord. Alexander is just a gentleman who believes in doing something. His head is not one of them swelling heads, but he just goes right along making time count for something. I wish we had more like him. There are some men in this world that you cannot make big men out of them, because their heads and feet are misfit. This would apply to some fellow they call Houston. He presided at the reception, and so KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, JULY-25, 1919 ADMITS SHOOTING INTO CROWDS OF MOB Negro Delegation Accompanied Davis to Governor's Office—Will Be in Charge of Topeka Sheriff for Present TOPEKA, Kans., July 22.—Fleeing from a Texas mob and with a bounty of $7500 on his head, Dr. D. H. Davis, a Negro, today surrendered himself to Governor Allen. The Negro—wealthy, and a graduate of Harvard University—fled to Kansas for protection from the town which was placed under martial law following a race riot. Doctor Davis told a dramatic story to Governor Allen today and admitted that he shot into a mob and killed four men in defense of his home and his family. Details of the night of horror in the Texas town were related to Governor Allen. Doctor Davis told the Kansas governor how he escaped with his family in a motor car and of hours in the river while the mob searched for the Negroes with bloodhounds. A large delegation of Topeka Negroes, headed by Nick Chiles, president of the Kansas defense society, accompanied Doctor Davis to the governor's office. Governor Allen said he had no right to accept the Negro's surrender. He directed the delegation to Sheriff Hugh Larimer. Under this procedure a full hearing of the case may be had before Governor Allen when the state of Texas seeks to extradite the man. Was a Dramatic Scene. Few more dramatic scenes have been enacted in the state house than that which surrounded the twenty-minute conference in Governor Allen's office. The Negro fugative went into details concerning the Longview rioting. "I protested when one of my people was mobbed," said Doctor Davis. "This action aroused race feeling in the town. The fugative became the principal in a drive on the Negro settlement of the town. "Six strong white men came to my home to whip my niece," the Negro said. "They charged her with insolence toward her employer. She had already been beaten once. I drew a revolver and protected her." Then the mob sought to destroy Doctor Davis's property. They cut the tires on his automobile. When night came a mob formed and the whites prepared to storm the Negro's home. "They were coming with torches and oil and a rope," said the man. When the leaders of the mob were a short distance from his home Doctor Davis says he opened fire with a revolver. Four men, he told, the governor, were killed. Then the mob drew back. This gave Doctor Davis an opportunity to escape with his family. Bloodhounds Were Near. "We waded the river," he said today—"back and forth to throw that mob off our trail. Sometimes the bloodhounds were within fifty feet of me. "I knew of just two states that were truly dear," continued the fugitive—"Massachusetts, where I was educated—and Kansas." Doctor Davis told Governor Allen he had sent his wife, daughter and niece to Massachusetts. The center of the race riot came to Kansas to surrender to the state's executive. At South Coffeyville, Okla., several dysas ago, Doctor Davis was arrested by a peace officer. He was released when he gave a $1,500 cash bond. State and local departments of government in Texas have offered a reward of $7,500 for the arrest of the Negro. Demands for extradition of Doctor Davis from Texas are expected as soon as officials of that state know the man is in this state. Doctor Davis appealed to Governor Allen for protection. He said that removal to Texas meant just one thing—mob violence. Under the action of the Kansas governor today, it will be possible to have a full and complete hearing as to the merits of the case. The town of Longview was under martial law two days following the rioting. Antagonized White Business Men. According to the story which Doctor Davis told in Topeka today, he aroused race feeling in the Longview district when he organized the Negro cotton planters. Through his organization the Negroes sent their cotton direct to Galveston and saved the middleman profit of local dealers. Doctor Davis also organized cooperative Negro stores which permitted Negroes in the district to buy merchandise at prices below those quoted by local dealers. During the war period, Doctor Davis said he was called upon by committees which told him the amount of bonds he must buy. He said he had bought a total of $10,000 worth of government securities. He declared that when he fled from Longview he had a deposit of $11,900 in a local bank as well as property and securities worth several thousand dollars. He has asked Governor Allen to arrange for the protection of this property. Doctor Davis declared he did not intend to return to Texas in the face of the race feeling which exists. YATES BANCH Y. W. C. A. GOT OUT BIG DRIVE THIS WEEK The Yates Branch, Young Women's Christian Association, started on Monday of this week, on a big financial campaign drive of $5,000, to purchase a commodious building for the housing and protection of our young girls, who come into our city for employment and have not homes, and who desire a place to stop with that motherly protection. There are also many young girls left without a parental home in the city, whose lives are in moral danger, without some place of refuge, such as our good women are endeavoring to establish at this time. No one should refuse to contribute to a cause of this kind, for you know not when your daughter or granddaughter may be thrown out upon the mercies of the people. The campaign started July 21st, and will close August the 2nd. Mrs. Hattle Gamble is president, and Mrs. T. H. Reynolds, secretary; Mrs. Mabel Clayborne, chairman of campaign committee, and Mrs. A.

Spaulding, vice-president and general manager of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. She was one of the best known women in the state, being interested in that which meant the development and uplift of the race. She had been sick for some time and her death was not unexpected. She was the sister of John Herrick, president of the company. Mrs. U. S. Rogers is at Excelsior Springs recuperating.

METROPOLITAN For some unavoidable reason, Dr. Watson, at the last moment, telegraphed that he could not preach for us as he promised; but our pastor was equal to the emergency and preached a lovely sermon from John. It was so fervent and penetrating that nine persons of one family joined the church. Rev. Battles, his wife and seven children joined. Three of the returned soldiers made Christian talks.

SANTAL CAPSULES MIDY CATARRH of the BLADDER relieved in 24 HOURS Each Cap sable but name EQ Beware of counterfeit A little sunny village has grown up inside a high wall in France within the last year. Its square flat houses stand in straight even rows, and along one side of the city wall is a long dormitory for single women: There are many more of them than 'of the families in the drab little houses. The village is full of women—old, young, middle-aged—whose faces, hands and hair slowly are turning yellow from the powder which it is said will eventually affect their lungs. But most of them are refugees and the fact that they are giving up their good looks, their health, and perhaps their lives in the munition factory, is of little moment to them. They have come into the walled town from ruined villages and devastated farms with their frightened little children, their despairing old people, carrying all their earthly possessions in tiny bundles. In their individual lives there is no future; in all their world there is no interest but the conquest of the Hun. No one comes into this little war community that centers around the big new munitions plant but those who work. Because of the danger and the blighting yellow powder, the work is highly paid and all the workers are volunteers. The women wear overalls or apron dresses, some of black sateen, some nondescript. The dull garb harmonizes with the yellowing faces and despairing eyes. Into this modern walled city of despair the Blue Triangle has flashed the first message of hope. The Y. W. C. A. foyer is the only recreational center within reach. The cars which find gafes at the end of the line a mile away, stop running at seven o'clock to save fuel. The city is three miles from the factory. "Mr problem," writes the Y. W. C. A. secretary in charge, "is to keep the women occupied in the evenings, to give them good healthy amusement so that they will forget their sorrows and go to bed and sleep, physically tired out from playing." She goes on to tell of some of the women and girls who come to the foyer: "There is a pretty little round, rosy-cheeked girl here who is just beginning to show the effects of the powder. The roots of her hair and her forehead are a pale yellow. The palms of her hands are a deep burnt orange and her hands and arms a bright yellow. "There is an ex-professional dancer, an interesting girl who enjoys the foyer and helps entertain the other girls. There is a professional pianist who does her bit at the noon and evening hours. There is one rough-and-ready girl who speaks English, whose father was an innkeeper in northern France. There is a pretty little girl who is engaged to a French soldier who still is rejoicing over the five minutes she had with him recently during an air raid. His mother is the caretaker here and he is one of six sons in the war. Two of them are German military prisoners, two are civil prisoners in Germany and two are soldiers in the trenches. Her home in the north of France was destroyed and she escaped with a small bundle of such things as she could carry in her hands. "There is a sweet-faced girl who was a lacemaker in Valenciennes, who came direct to us from the German-hidden section after a hard experience in getting away." These are the women the Bluz Triangle is helping to forget—perhaps only for an hour at a time—the horrors that have blackened their hearth stones and darkened the world. "My foyer," the secretary writes, "consists of a hall and two large rooms with cement floors. One has a writing table and paper, pens and ink, sewing machines, a cupboard with teacups in it, a large table with papers and magazines, easy chairs and my desk. The other room has a piano, more tables, chairs, ironing boards and a Victrola. There are unframed French pictures and American and French war posters around the room. The walls are painted gray and white." Saturday evenings they sing and dance, "First they have a chorus," writes the secretary, "such as 'Le Reve Passe' or the 'Hymne des Avlateurs' or something equally thrilling, and at the final notes of triumph a voice at my ears begs, 'Un polka, mees.' The polka finished, there is a call for the 'Hymne Americaln' and we sing the 'Star-Spangled Banner,' (Le Drapeau Etolle) in two languages." These foyers have been established in several munition centers in France. Each one has a cafeteria, a recreation hall and rooms fitted up as rest rooms, writing and sewing rooms. At night these rooms are filled with French girls learning English, bookkeeping or stenography, that they may work in the offices of the American Expeditionary Forces. In connection with each is a large recreation field or park. At the request of the French ministry of war the Young Women's Christian association has opened clubrooms for the sixteen thousand French women employed in the offices of the war department. So successful has been the foyer work in France that a call has come from England to the American Y. W. C. A. to bring its Blue Triangle huts and foyers across the channel. The English Y. W. C. A. has established centers for munitions workers on a smaller scale, but after inspection of the American work in France the four English representatives to the Allie-Women's congress in Paris in August officially requested that the American Y. W. C. A. undertakes similar work in England. UMBRELLAS REPAIRED AND RECOVERED Absolutely New Material Used in All Repairing R.

The ministers and their congregations are responding. Lodges as units are endeavoring to join. Let every individual join and Help. 1. To abolish legal injustice against Negroes. 3. To prevent lynchings, burnings, and torturings of black people. 4. To secure to every citizen of color, the common rights of American citizenship. President Wilson declare for woman suffrage as a war measure. Black men are not allowed to vote in many of the states of the Union, despite the Fifteenth Amendment. 5. To compel equal accommodations in railroad travel, irrespective of color. 6. To secure for colored children an equal opportunity to public school education through a fair apportionment of public education funds. Unless the colored child can be educated he is at a fearful disadvantage. An uneducated Negro poulation menaces national well-being This education should be of hand and brain and can be adequately done for all Negro children, not the fortunate few, only by public schools. 7. To emancipate in fact, as well as in name, a race of nearly 12,000,000 American born citizens. The only means we can employ are education, organization, agitation, publicity—the force of an enlightened public opinion. The work is supported entirely by voluntary contributions and memberships.

NOT STRONG ON NAVIGATION Records Show Weakness of the Spanish Sailor in That Highly Important Matter. The Spaniards of early days were most adventurous explorers, but, for all their discoveries of distant lands, very poor navigators. After coming upon the Solomon islands in the western Pacific, they could not find them again, and they were lost for 150 years. The water supply of their ship was kept in big earthen jars. As it was impossible to provide in this way enough to drink for a long voyage, they took to sea many large mats, which when it rained were spread to catch the drops. From the mats the water was drained off into the jars. Probably it was no fault of Columbus, but his first voyage to America, which occupied two months' time, was mainly a drift. When he landed in Cuba he thought he had reached Asia, and sent an expedition inland to treat with the great khan of Tartary. Later his flagship, the Santa Marla, ran ground off the coast of Haiti, the natives of which island welcomed him most hospitably. He noticed three or four of them whose naked bodies showed scars which they attributed to bites inflicted by man-eating savages of another island called Caniba. Whence the origin of the word cannibal—the island inhabited by these anthroponophaga being Porto Rico. Less than 100 years ago Spain still claimed ownership of the whole Pacific ocean, declaring it a Spanish lake on the strength of Balboa's discovery in 1513. Acting upon this idea, the Spanish government ordered the commandante of San Francisco to seize the Columbia, the first vessel that carried the American flag around Cape Horn.

I wonder how it would be if you would take him and put him at the head of something. The people in North Carolina are getting ready for the Supreme Lodge. They are going to be there in full shape. They are going to make some requests of the Supreme Lodge. They consider good for the order. I beat it over to this place, but in a few minute sfrom now will be away from here and headed for another part of the world. God bless you. You will hear from me again. I suppose as you read this letter the Grand Lodge of Kansas will be drawing to a head. I hope that they had a great big session, and that Dr. Thompson was re-elected at the head of the Pythians, Mrs. Norene Davis, at the head of the Calanthe, Editor Kennedy hold his big place, and that we will all meet next month in Atlantic City, N. J. Time will not permit me to do or say more. A FASHION STARTED. You know how cloak models influence women to buy clothes, whether they are becoming or not?" inquired the man with the double chin. "Yes," replied the chauffeur. "Well, I think we'd better put the car up for a while and not take any of these long trips through the country. If my wife sees how pretty some of these farm girls look in overalls, she's going to want to wear 'em." Light Labor. "It's fascinating to watch a gang of expert billposters sticking up lithographs in a high wind, without letting a single sheet get away from them," remarked the observant citizen. "So it is," answered the man who is easily worried. "After witnessing a performance like that I wonder why it ever seemed troublesome for me to stick a stamp on a letter." COLOR WAS REMOVED. Mr. Jones keeps pigeons, and Mr. Brown, next door, tribes to keep pigeons —quite a different state of affairs. Mr. Brown is constantly losing birds, while Mr. Jones is constantly suspected of finding them. The other morning Mr. Brown with a smile and a sixpence, approached the youthful son and heir of Mr. Jones. "Willie," began Brown, holding up the coln, "did daddy find a bird yesterday?" "And was it a blue bird with some white feathers in its wing?" "Dunno," responded Willie, pocketing the sixpence. "You can't tell their color when they're in a ple!"—London Tit-Bits. Personal Inclination "Adam said he ate the apple because Eve tempted him." "Nonsense! Temptation had nothing to do with It. If it had been a green persimmon or an osage orange, no persuasion would have induced him to touch it." Improving-the Quality. Howell—Is your daughter's plano playing improving? Powell—Yes, the doctor says that she isn't strong enough to play as many hours a day as she has been playing. EXTRACTS From the Poetical Treatise composed by Mrs. M. C. Matthews for the B. Y. P. U. and read July 20, 1919: "The Bible a True Guide." Writers of the Bible, Of the old and new, Were moved by the Spirit, And proved Christ's Word, true. Our Christian experience With great faith in view; Is the greatest witness That God's Word is true. For 'tis plainly proven That God did prepare, Sent His message out by Men He chose with care. Moses for Egyptian; Isaiah for Hebrew; Mark for graphic life of Christ; Paul for Greek he knew. When He wanted poetry, David He arose; When a mighty reasoner Paul again He chose. You might search forever In vale or by fount, You'd not find a sermon Like Christ's on the Mount. Let's all read the Scriptures, Cease from toil and strife, For we know that in Them Is Eternal Life. NOTE There are 9 more stanzas. (Copyrighted July 1919, by M. Callaway-Matthews.) CAP and BELLS A NEW REMEDY. "Oh, dear, we have had such trouble with our son Archibald," exclaimed Mrs. Hl-uppe at the bridge party. "We had to take him out of college because he overstudied." "We've started him on the stage, so he could get his health back by understudying." The Query Department Dear Star—Can you tell me what kind of wood these here xylophones that the vaudeville fellers' play, are made of?—Lumberman. Answer—Nope, but they make such dandy harmony if they are well beaten that we suppose they make 'em out of chord wood. Labor-Saving Device. "A motion picture snowstorm is a great improvement over the old-fashioned shower of white paper," remarked the man about town. "Yes, indeed," said the leading lady. "It saves my maid the trouble of picking scraps of paper out of my collure before I change from rags and tatters to an evening gown for the next act." Asserting Himself. "What good does it do you to shake your fist at a reckless motorist after he has nearly run you down? He's speeding on his way and doesn't see you." "That's true," replied the pedestrian, "but I can at least show curious onlookers that I am a man of some spirit." One Way to Achieve Success. "How went the bazaar?" "A great success in one way." "Yes?" "The ladles got so disgusted with the poor business done that they went straight home and touched their husbands for the amount they wanted to raise."—London Answers. OH. ANSWER THE CHILD! Pa, was Job a doctor? Not that I know of. Then why do people have so much to say about the pa- tients of Job? OH, ANSWER THE CHILD! Pa, was Job a doctor? Not that I know of. Then why do people have so much to say about the pa- tients of Job? Splendid Confusion. Ideals vast and glorious dreams Of thought now take command. And yet the more I read it seems The less I understand! "I want an actress for vaudeville." "All right." "Not a heavy, ponderous woman—" "I know. For a skilt—something sklttish." Calming Him Down. Mr. Blinks—Here's a $50 milliner's bill I've just paid; another case of a fool and his money soon parted. Mrs. Blinks—I know, dear, but just think how fortunate it is that you are one of those who have money. Marriage an Eye Opener. Wife (complainingly)—You used to say before we were married that I was a dream. Hub—You were. A dream is something that one wakes up from and discovers that it wasn't so. Just a Toy. "What did your wife say, if anything, when she struck you?" "She said, 'Woman is a plaything, just a toy.' And then she slapped me over, judge." A Question of Taste. One morning Mr. Smith was heard talking to himself while making his morning toilet in a manner that denoted much perturbation. "I wonder," said Mrs. Smith, "what's provoked father now?" "Oh, it's nothing much, mother," answered little William. "I just put a tube of sister's oil-paints in place of his tube of toothpaste."—Tit-Bits. Befuddling the Jurors. "We must have a physiological chemist to testify in this murder trial," said the eminent criminal lawyer. "But the horny-handed jurors won't know a physiological chemist, from a taxidermist." "Of course not. That's why we've got to have the expert testimony of a physiological chemist." THE END OF THE WOR AND THE END OF TIME. 1. BROWN AND BLACK MAN'S DAY. 2. THE WHITE MAN'S DAY. 3.

In Rome, more than 2,000 years ago, the Opplan law enacted that "no woman should possess more than half an ounce of gold, or wear a dress of different colors, or ride in a carriage in the city or within a mile of it except on occasions of public religious ceremonies."

Everything Was All Right. One of the policemen who took part in the bandit fight on Montgall avenue the other day called his home immediately after hostilities ceased, to assure his wife that he was not injured. His wife was in the apartment upstairs, but his mother-in-law was there and answered the telephone. She took the message and then went upstairs to reassure her daughter. "Now, don't get excited," she said, "for there's nothing serious. Now, everything will be all right, but you know the police have had a big fight with some train robbers out by the Belt line, and your husband—" The wife slowly, softly, slipped from her chair in a dead faint.
