He declared that "The danger of the republic is not the individual criminal; but an organized minority to forcibly impose its own selfish will over a disorganized majority, which has been the danger of the republic at every stage of its existence. Such a minority is equally reprehensible and dangerous, whether of capital or labor; and it was doubtless the organization of a minority of capitalists for their own selfish purposes, which lead to the organization of the minority of laborers. But in very nearly every emergency Kansas has been the leader in blazing the way for other states to follow. "When nth the slave-holding minority organized to impose its will upon the majority, or destroy the union, and a sacrifice was needed to emphasize the importance of human right; and the necessity of dying to preserve the union, Kansas offered a John'Brown. "When the slaveholding minority saloon keepers was swiftly moving toward the destruction of the majority of temperate people, Kansas lead in blazing the way with a Carrie Nation, and the movement will never call a halt until the world is freed from the damnation of John Barley-corn. "When an organized minority of coal miners attempted to forcibly impose their selfish will on the great disorganized minority by freezing it to death this winter. Kansas again lead the way with a Governor Allen, who, with the police powers of the state, went into the coal mines to save the people, and many other governors followed; and if the truce of Federal government with the miners had not terminated the strike, the governor of every state with a coal field would have been forced to follow his lead in less than four weeks." Vespers at W. U. E. A. Shackelford, assistant prosecuting attorney of Wyandotte county, will be the speaker at Vespers Sunday at 4 p. m. Come and hear him.

EDITOR HOWARD PASSES AWAY INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—(Reciprocal News Service)—Mr. J. D. Howard, editor of the Indianapolis Ledger, died at 9:25 Thursday morning. His death came at the end of a prolonged illness and caused deep sorrow among the citizens of this city, and from the expressions that have come, it caused the same kind of a feeling throughout the nation. Mr. Howard was a prominent factor in the affairs of Indianapolis. He was a member of the leading organizations of the city and state, as well as the National Negro Press Association. Argentine, Kansas The second quarterly meeting was held Sunday at St. Paul A. M. E. church. Presiding Elder Harris delivered an excellent sermon at the 11 o'clock service to a fine congregation. It was greatly enjoyed by his attentive hearers. Rev. Bell, pastor of St. John's church, Kansas City, Mo., preached the communion sermon at 3 p. m., to a large audience. It was a strong spiritual discourse. The presiding elder, being at Rosedale, for a meeting the same hour, Rev. J. F. Griffin of First church, presided in his stead. Quite a number of visiting ministers from the two cities were present and assisted. The St. Paul choir, which is among the best in Greater Kansas City, rendered their usual spiritual songs. St. Paul, with its strong and progressive pastor, Dr. Everett, is doning great work for this church and community. The revival, under Evangelist Sister Harris, of Cincinnati. Ohio, has started after sin with the Gospel sword, which is two-edged, cutting both left and right. This great woman will be in the camp for three weeks. The Lord is blessing her work, in this community. Come out and hear this wonderful speaker. Miss Ellen Easley, 722 Oakland avenue, left for the University of Manhattan Sunday to resume her studies. Mrs. Roberson, 936 Splitlog, is suffering with rheumatism. Mrs. Nettie Smart and daughter, from Leavenworth, were here Tuesday attending the funeral of the late Mr. H. Calhoun. Mrs. Elmira Troupe from Topeka also attended it. Tag Day FOR Douglass Hospital SATURDAY FEBRUARY 14, 1920 A WORTHY INSTITUTION CITY A POPULAR AND UESFUL CITIZEN GOES TO REWARD One of the largest funerals held in this month was that of the late Mr. Henry Lafayette Calhoun, who died in the full triumph of faith, January 16, 1920, and was buried Tuesday, January 20th, from the Metropolitan Baptist Temple. At 2 p. m., the Operative Sons' Lodge No. 2136, I. O. O. F., led by the Intercity band, playing a funeral dirge, escorted the body to the church. Pastor D. A. Holmes met the funeral cortege at the door, while acting organist played "Lead Kindly Light." The following program was rendered: Scripture reading; hymn, "Jesus Lover," choir. Invocation, Rev. Lock; Hymn, "Rock og Ages;" Resolutions, from Excelsior Club, Mrs. B. S. Jones; band, Mr. Orrin Murray; Calanthe Court, Bright Eagle No. 12, Mrs. N. Washnigton; Metropolitan church, Mrs. I. M. Thomas; by request Eulogy and original poem, Mrs. M. Calaway-Matthews. She portrayed his Christian triumph over sin, so vividly and told, of his favorite song, which caused much weeping and caused Pastor Holmes to sing the deceased's favorite song, "Blessed Jesus, He's the One." Dr. Holmes read the obituary and proceeded to preach from Revelations: "And God shall wipe away all tears." His sermon greatly affected the bereaved family. Rev. Mitchell made remarks, and Mr. Newman of the band sang a solo. Mr. Chas. Johnson, who was to have resolutions for the lodge endorsed in the highest terms Mrs. Matthews' eulogy as his sentiments, and then read the lodge address. Undertaker Countee had the congregation view the remains, while Mrs. C. Meeks, acting organist, played appropriate requiems. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, and the white International Cooper's Union gave flowers and came over to view the remains. The deceased leaves a wife, two daughters, and other relatives and many friends, who regret his demise. As the community has lost an industrious citizen, The Advocate staff extends deepest sympathy. By special request of the family and others the poem is printed and not the beautiful prose eulogy on account of lack of space. Poem in Memory of Mr. Henry Lafayette Calhoun. Our dear Brother Henry Calhoun. While a traveler on this earth, In the year of 19 and 04. God gave him a Christian birth. He then worked with such great ardor Though he had his hopes and his fears, He was chosen a church deacon, Which he held for several years. Although he was a great lodge man And served others at their call, The fact he held out a Christian Was the greatest deed of all. So when sickness overtook him And the end was near in sight, If he'd sinned he'd over come it, And his lamp was burning bright. New Years gave the final warning And his soul then at its best, Said, "I'm ready for the journey Wish to go and be at rest." When his wife asked him the question harms?" He cheered her and bravely told her "She must lean on Jesus arms." Said again in talking to her, Which showed greater Christian test; "O, if I had the wings of a dove I'd fly to eternal rest." Then God sent His Cherub Angel, His winged chariot of love And they bore our brother's spirit To his heavenly home above. ADVOCATE FOR GREATER DIVINITY SCHOOL AT WESTERN UNI Editor Advocate: For a number of years I have been in close touch with Western University and I have rejoiced in its splendid growth and diversified usefulness. Every department expands with its demands. Yet the school of divinity has not expanded commensurate with the great field open before it, including the whole western work. I presume the trustees know its hindrances and with the steady increase of divinity students eager for theological lore, the trustees should, with credit to themselves and the school, lay the matter before the people. Schaffer divinity should be in a position to confer degrees as any other theological school, and then the financial board would give us recognition. Let the people know. WM. B. JOHNSON. Kansas City, Kans. MERIT WINS AT THIS BIG PLANT One Mr. F. A. Seiberling, president and general manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, of Arkon, Ohio, addressed his managers and men recently at their annual banquet. It will be remembered perhaps that since the exodus north, hundreds of colored people have found positions in factories and they are working their way slowly upward. It seems in the audience that day, a young colored man had been promoted and selected by the employees as their representative from his department. Mr. Seiberling observed him and stopped to pav to the race with which he was identified the following compliment: "I see before me a young colored man, whom the men in the factory have selected as their representative. I want to congratulate the men down in the factory for their big, broad-minded action when they can break down racial ties, religious ties and social ties, or prejudices, if you please, and select a man on his merit, without regard to his color or his creed. Young man, I hope you will prove worthy of the confidence placed in you and that you may be an example to your race, whom, we must all admit, the white race has not treated fairly." We should commend such men as Mr. Seiberling, who showed in this instance, a real man, and jif our great boastful nation, with its brain and professed Christian intelligence, had of stepped out upon the platform as this man, all men up and no man down, our country would not be going through this man-eating turmoil of unrest. We want to congratulate Mr. Seiberling, not as it was so hard for him to do, but that manly spirit, which showed he was an admirer of men and not classes. As he loved all songs of Gospel And his thoughts from sun to sun, Was the song of our dear Saviour, "Blessed Jesus, He's the one." We know that in land immortal Where his last rest has begun. He sings with that heavenly number. "Blessed Jesus, He's the One." Wife and daughters strive to meet him Let us all go there to greet him, Live with Christ, for "He's the One." Yours in Christ, Margaret, Calaway-Matthews. Mrs. Ed. Fine, of Pleasanton, Kans, accompanied her daughter, Mrs. Sheedy, to the city last week, and visited her sister, M. M.

Tenth Street PHILLIPS COUNTY NEGROES APPEAL Transcript Filed in Case of 12 Rioters Convicted of Murder Transcripts of appeal in the cases of the twelve Negroes convicted in the Phillips County Circuit Court recently on a charge of first degree murder, growing out of the insurrection in that county, and sentenced to be electrocuted, were filed in the Supreme Court of Arkansas at Little Rock last week. The filing of the appeals acts as a stay of execution of the judgment in each case until it is finally disposed of. There were six transcripts filed, one containing the appeals of the five Negroes tried at one time. Each of the two other transcripts filed was for two of the defendants, the other three being for one defendant each. Five of the Negroes were to have been electrocuted January 27, and the date for the execution of the seven others was fixed for February 2. Gov. Brough recently granted stays of execution for thirty days to each defendant to enable them to prepare their appeals to the higher court. As soon as the cases are submitted to the court it is expected that a date for the hearing on oral argument will be announced. Should the Supreme Court, affirm the decisions of the lower court, Governor Brough will be required to fix the date of their execution, unless he should commute their sentences to terms in the penitentiary—Arkansas Gazette, Jan 10, 1920.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. EDITOR HOWARD DEAD. The editor of The Advocate regretted very much to learn of the death of J. D. Howard, editor and owner of the Indianapolis Ledger. They were intimately associated together for a time, when the Ledger was in its infancy, with less than six hundred circulation. The editor of The Advocate had the honor to be its circulation manager, and introduced it for the first time in every city and town where our people live, in the state of Indiana, and in just four months Mr. Howard was mailing out every week four thousand one hundred seventy-five copies. The association and experience the few months under his fertile brain has ever been of great help to me, in many ways. As a newspaper man, he had but few equals and was as honest and square as any man I ever met. When it came to getting high class business he had no peer, in facts it is doubtful if there were any who could equal him, black or white. The colored newspaper craft loses in J. D. Howard, one of its leading publishers. Peace to his ashes. The old war horses of the Inter-State think, that after the many new ideas and life instilled into the association, this past year session, that the session has paved the way for a "New Inter-State," whose scope will be broader and better, than past history recounts. Mrs. Willa Dwiggins of this city, its retiring president, handled the oars for the past two years. Mrs. Hugh Sheedy, son and daughter, of Chicago, visited their aunt a few days last week, Mrs. M.M.

He is a fine preacher, but seems to hold his hearers more spell bound than usual. At 11 a. m., his text was taken from the 1st Epistle of John III 1-2. His theme was "Love," and the Holy Spirit certainly gave him utterance. When the offerory was taken, he had Deacons Ford and Johnson at one table and called Mrs. M. C. Matthews, whom he has now made corresponding secretary, to write for them, and Miss Maud Howard, assistant recording secretary, to Trustee J. C. Branch's table. They came so fast to the deacon's table that he had to tell them not to slight the other table. A large collection was taken without any previous effort. If we make no mistake, Miss Olive Henderson, Miss Laura Harlan, Mesdames Cunningan and J. T. Taylor are the committee to visit homes and get signers to pledge cards for a promise of a year's collection. At 8 p.m., a large number of members and friends came to church again. Among them several Caucasians came to hear our pastor preach, but he disappointed them. He had Rev. W. W. Ewing, of Mt. Olive church at Atchison to preach. He preached from II Tim. 4:2 or 7. Text, "Preach the Word." It was more like a doctrinal sermon. A large offering was lifted, and the visiting preacher was given a collection. Next Sunday, January 25th, we know our pastor has some more of his recent great sermons in store for us. Come and hear him. He is certainly sent from God, if he will only remain obedient to His Word. The triple plate glass doors stand ever ajar at, Metropolitan to welcome saints or sinners. Won't you come to Jesus? Don't wait too late. Mrs. A. Allsbrook played again during the absence of the organist. There are five or six preachers belonging to Metropolitan, so they are never at loss for an assistant preacher. Notice. The publicity committee of Metropolitan church is simply the writer for that church, and does not wait on delinquent members. By her saying she was glad to see Miss Harlan at church, meant praise for the principal, as she knows Miss Harlan attended church because she knows it is right to do so. Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church Quindaro, Kansas. Rev. M. C. Knight, Pastor. Our pulpit was filled Sunday morning by the Rev. Webb, ex-pastor of the First Baptist church, Butte, Mont. He preached us an excellent sermon on the "Second Coming of Christ." We had a large audience and every one enjoyed the message. This was the first time the Rev. Webb was with us since his return from the West. He was at his best. Come again, Reverend, we are glad to have you at any time. Rev. Thomas More of Forest City, Ark., who recently joined our church, preached for us Sunday evening. To say the least, Rev. Moore is an earnest Gospel minister of no mean ability. His earnestness and force in delivering his message won for him a place in the hearts of his hearers, which was demonstrated by five coming forward and uniting with the church at the close of the sermon. The church is very proud of Brother Moore and will do all it can to help him finish his school work at W. U. Schaeffer's Theological Seminary. Sunday was a glorious day in our church all day. If you want to feel at home in services on Sunday come to our church. We make you welcome And you feel the Spirit. Our pastor will begin his series on the Problems of Joy and Suffering in the Christian Life, Sunday morning. Come on time and begin with the first series. He is a teacher and a preacher to say the least. The dinner given by the Senior and Junior Stewardess Boards Thursday. January 15, was a decided financial success. This was the first dinner server by these boards since their organization. They are elated over their success. Mrs. C. Jones, the chairman of the committee, wishes to thank the ladies for their untiring co-operation. The Dramatic Club is moving right along nicely, but we are short of male characters. The president solicits your membership. The A. C. E. League had a nice meeting Sunday evening. Our State Superintendent, Prof. G. A. Gregg, was with us. He gave us a very timely lecture on a perfect life. He expressed that he was proud of his home League's showing. We are proud of you, too, Professor. We will prove it by making good our promise "The best League in the state." Special program next Sunday, Missionary Day. Come on time, 6:30 p. m. Mrs. S. G. Hogg is very weak at this writing. Others sick: Mrs. George Jones, Margaret Jones, Susan Banks and Mrs. Mary Grant. They would appreciate a visit from you. The choir was reorganized Thursday evening, January 15. Mrs. E. F. Landor was elected president. They rendered excellent music Sunday. Choir practice Friday night of each week. Each member is requested to be present. Special music next Sunday. The pastor and officers are requesting that every one who possibly can subscribe for The Advocate as it prints the news of our church and community. Be a booster at least. Subscribe for The Advocate, $1.50 a year. See Prof. G. A. Gregg. Mrs. Chester - Campbell of 357 Troup, is quite ill.
