I know that there are many of our men who would like to eat at the political pie counter, and some of them are going to eat, but in the name of God I want to first appeal to President Warren G. Harding, and the Republican party in the interest of my people in this state and other states where they openly defy the Constitution of the United States and just count themselves into election or into office without election. I think it is a heluva comeoff when the Constitution of the United States gives every American the right to exercise the franchise and there are some men because their skins are white or call themselves white men will in the face of that document deny some people theright to vote and if they insist on it shoot them down like they were out rabbit hunting. How long will things like this be carried on in our country? I have faith in President Harding and his party, and believe that it will soon come to its timely death, and every man will be recognized on merits. Perhaps it will not be too late for me to tell you some of the horrors in this state but not now. I would like to tell you how Rev. Herndon, an old minister of the A.M.E. church, was taken from the train and beaten almost to death, because he dared to teach women of his race how to vote. He is a man of some standing. The conductor on the train slowed up so they could get him off, and then went on his way rejoicing, declaring the Negro would be taught that this is a white man's country. I think that this country is going to come to grief at the hands of this white man. I thank God that I am not a white man. That my people are not vindictive, but we possess the Christian spirit and we are willing to pray, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." I don't want to be equal to the white man in the slaughter of human beings, in cheating people out of their franchise and because of his superior numbers and other advantages impose upon the weak. God is not dead and I am willing to trust Him. I think more of God than I do of a gun, although it is nice at times to have a gun at hand. There is something in it that will make the other fellow show you a little respect at SEVENTH ANNUAL FORK H FIRST A. M. Eighth Street and THURSDAY, M NOTICE WHO ANNUAL KNIFE CHURCH. PRO ETHODIST MINISTER IS GRAIN IN FLORIDA LY BEATEN White Man Soon Will Be- ve, and 'Do Away With Du Klux Klan, Which ting in the South times, In some towns in Florida, in order to keep my people from voting and to intimidate them the men who called themselves Klu Klux Klan or something like that paraded the streets with their guns ready to shoot down, it is supposed, but I do not know. I pray thee white men, do away with the Klu Klux Klan, for it means building up a larger population in hell than ever before, and it means more people going to Heaven. It means the shedding of blood, and the taking of human life. It means widows and orphans. It means lawlessness and criminality. For the love and respect you have for your family and what I have for mine, I pray you to cut it out and do it right now. The Negro has had his nap and is now wide awake, and ready to meet a good morning or evening, day or night. I do not believe in race strife, and I want every man to live and live as long as God will permit him to live.

There, Besides Many I are Prospering—De- to Other Cities in Dear Editor: Any person or party traveling with Prof. J. R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A.M.E. church as host, may be assured of all the comfort and modern convenience to be had. Through his untiring efforts our trip into Texas was made doubly comfortable. The personnel of the party was good; a more congenial set of men could not have been gotten together anywhere. Texas is a great state; the people are good entertainers. Doctors Peck, Vaughn, of Western University, and Butler, of Kentucky, and myself were royally entertained at the home of Rev. Featherstone, a retired minister of the A. M. E. church. His good wife spared no pains in making it pleasant for us. The church in which the council was held is of recent construction. It is a magnificent building, in all of its opportionments. A credit to any denomination, in any city in the country. Dr. Abington and his good people are to be commended for the erection of such a building. Our racial group own some fine homes, which are situated on some of the more prominent streets of the city. My stay in Denver was of interest to me. I had the opportunity to see much of its greatness; come in contact with many of our people; saw them in their businesses, in their homes, and in their civic work for the advancement of the city. A few of the notable gatherings attended might be mentioned. We were, by special invitation, present at a meeting of the men's club of the Church of the Holy Redeemer. It was their monthly meeting. It was an intellectual feast. The main address of the evening was delivered by that princely scholar and churchman, the Rev. W. H. Thomas, D.D., pastor of Shorted A. M. E. church. The address was replete with literary beauty, embellished with a logical reasoning that drove home to the hearts of those present the very apt and important thought: "What does your city mean to you?" A most appetizing repast was served. On Sudnay afternoon I had the pleasure of visiting the Y. W. C. A. meeting. A magnificent building has been purchased, the best I have seen anywhere, by the "Y" and the people are justly proud of it. Here we listened to a program of much interest and importance, and by request said a word. The meeting evidenced that the city has a large number of women who are deeply interested in the protection of the girlhood of the city. The services at Shorter on Sunday were good and inspiring, Among the many commanding features of the day was the renditions of LOOK! - PROF. R. G.

Race Enterprises That enver Sets Example of Race Businesses the choir, under the direction of Mrs. Zachery. Just the mention of her name is enough to assure the best that can be had in the musical world. The congregation is a working one and the good pastor has no trouble in getting results. Here are some of Denver's race enterprises that have come under my observation: Five realty and investment companies two oil brokers, two drug stores, two undertaking companies, one up-to-date grocery company, building and stock owned by the Howard Brothers, value of building, $10,000; five tailoring establishments, two millinery companies, one fire department, Y. W. C. A. Phyllis Wheatley Center, second to none in the West, a large spacious house with a housing capacity of twenty, and a cafeteria therein, a Y. M. C. A., a splendid building; bright prospects for a newly equipped building in the near future; one club house and day nursery, bought by the club women of the city. The home of the American Woodmen, one of the largest race enterprises in the world. The supreme office is located here, and occupies the entire fifth floor of the Arapahoe building, located at 1622 Arapahoe street. The supreme clerk, Mr. L. H. Lightener, has an office force of twenty efficient clerks, bookkeepers and stenographers. The company has upward of $60,000,000 insurance written, $1,000,000 paid in benefits, and a membzership of upward of 80,000; five physicians and surgeons; three lawyers; two dentists; one deputy sheriff; six policemen; one juvenile officer; one school attendance officer, with many other clerks and peace officers employed by the state, too numerous to mention. Taxicab lines, six in number ranging from two to six cars to the line. Denver is fast coming to the front in the business world. Many other cities might profit by her example. J.F. GRIFFIN. A PROGRAM OF COLORED The Metropolitan choir, directed by Mrs. Ida Wood, gave a concert Sunday evening at the church. The solos and choruses by colored composers, were listened to by a large congregation and several visitors. Many hope Mrs. Wood will later give some Bible oratorios at the church. Metropolitan church auxiliaries have purchased more silver sets and they took communion last Sunday. - LOOK! BIS CONCERT COMPANY PEAR AT A. M. E.

THE NEGRO IS STAYING t NORTH While there are hundreds of colored men out of employment in the two Kansas Cities, who only have been here for a few ‘years, coming, the majority of them, from the south, but be- ing out of work is no terror {0 drive them hack to the South- ‘fand again. They will tell you the North is their preference, ‘employed or unemployed, and they feel satisfied conditions -will soon adjust themselves and idle days will soon be something of the past. Some who have returned from visiting their relatives in he South say many there are jreparing to emigrate North and West at the earliest oppor- dunity. The president of Liberia is now in Washington, seeking a Joan of $5,000,000 for his coun- try, with which to purchase machinery for industries. It is asserted that Liberia can pro- .duce enough canned goods, with proper machinery, to supply the world, and at prices lower than the domestic product. The loan, if made by the United States, will be secured by a lien yon the import and export du- ties of the country. At present Liberia is indebted to the. Unit- ed States in the sum of-about $8,000,000, a small sum, com- paratiyely, as the country is prosperous. WESTERN UNIVERSITY ' ° TRUSTEE BOARD MEETS ++ The trustee board of Western University was in session Wed- mesday. Bishop H. B. Parks, “president and ex-officio chair- ‘man of all committees presided.

FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1921 CITIZENS' FORUM An excellent program was rendered at the Forum Sunday, March 6. Miss Daisy Whitfield gave international current events in good pure English. Miss Sirporo Miller played a beautiful classic and was encored. Mr. W. T. Mosely, president of the Kansas City, Mo., Chamber of Commerce gave a good address on Forces Leading to a Higher Plane; Mme. Taylor sang a classic solo and was encored. She was accompanied by Mme. Sommers, one of our finest pianists. Prof.' Scruggs read the critique. Next unday something just as uplifting will be on the program. Come. The Forum will go to Lawrence soon. Hear Prof. H. O. Cook of Lincoln High School, Sunday Subject, Present Industrial Resolution Our Opportunity. SUMNER NIGHT SCHOOL GIVES FINE PROGRAM Sumner Night chool chorus and the public speaking class, by request, gave a program at the Centennial M. E. church, Kansas City, Mo., Thursday night. The church was crowded and encored the fifty voices in classical and folk songs. The ladies quartet and men's quartet received two and three encores. The Caruso of the night school is Mr. Jackson who sings mostly classics. The public speaking class also did well, and some received encores and all received praise. They are invited to other churches and to Lawrence and Leavenworth, if they can go after their school term closes. H. F. SCHAIBLE H. F. Schaible comes before the voters for the office of Commissioner of Streets. Mr. Schaible is among the old citizens of this city and is one of its successful business men, running a grocery for many years at the corner of Third street and Everett avenue, and has made many substantial friends among all classes. He is a member of the Grocers' Association and has the highest respect of every member and no doubt they will support him to a man; also use their influence towards his nomination and election. Mr. Schaible, if elected, will make a splenlid city official and give to the city the best service possible. AN UNIQUE DRIVE Bethel A. M. E. church has put on a drive for one dollar from every African Methodist and friend in Kansas City. Watch for rally day notice. W. B. JOHNSON. Pastor. The J. C. Branch & Co. real estate firm at 1314 North Fifth street, that opened up last week, has started off with every encouragement for a nice business this year. The company feels confident the business will come, as they expect to give everyone a square deal. Mrs. Calhoun, who lives at 928 Oakland avenue, arrived home last week from a three months' vacation. All her friends were glad to greet her. Mrs. Annie Arch, who is on the sick list this week, is feeling much better at this writing. HANK and PETE DR. R. B. GRIMES MAKING NEW FRIENDS FOR CANDIDACY Dr. R. B. Grimes, candidate for mayor, is making many new friends in his campaign. Like many another business man, Dr. Grimes is not an adept at the usual politician's camouflage, but convinces the people he met that he is in earnest, and in seeking the office is only attempting to further the cause of a bigger and better Kansas City. Dr. Grimes' membership on the city planning commission has given him an insight into the needs of the city, and should he be elected will prove an invaluable man in the coming large civic improvements contemplated. J. R. WIMMER FOR STREET COMMISSIONER J. R. "Jack" Wimmer, candidate for street commissioner, is one of the candidates in the race, who will know just what to do without asking, should he happen to be elected. While mayor of Rosedale, Mr. Wimmer had occasion to be instrumental in paving Southwest boulevard. Service mains of the gas and water companies were laid so that the pavement need never be dug up and the boulevard today is in as good shape as the day it was laid Unlike many officials he worries about his work for the municipality as if it were his personal business He will make a good man for the place. BURTON MEETING WITH ENCOURAGEMENT Harry B. Burton, candidate for mayor, is meeting with a great deal of encouragement from the citizens of the city. Mr. Burton is well known as a man who takes his duties seriously and has been known to go to a great deal of trouble to remedy some little thing other men would have let go. Mr. Burton especially is receiving support from those citizens who want a man for mayor who will place civic welfare above personal gain or popularity, either for himself or for others. Mr. Burton will make a strong race. Senator Ridgway was seriously injured one day last week when a car he was driving in Topeka ran wild and struck a telephone pole. A Missouri Pacific passenger conductor asserts that he ran all the way from Atchison to this place with but 22 passengers on his train. As nobody is working, nobody is paying high fares to ride. A few more millions, Uncle Sam! The Senior choir of First A. M. E. church gave a concert last Friday evening at St. Paul A. M. E. church, Argentine, giving all the proceeds to the church, not even taking out street car fare. A Christian spirit, members. Mrs. J. C. C. Owens, the splendid wife of that pioneer Christian minister of the West, Dr. J. C. C. Owens, who has been quite ill at her home, 1914 North Sixth street for several weeks, is slowly regaining her lost strength. The many admiring friends of this noble woman will be greatly pleased to know of her growing vitality. Prof. Shelton French, vicepresident of Western University, has been confined to his home on Michigan avenue for several days with a severe attack of illness. His friends everywhere regret very much to learn of his physical condition, and will be made to feel glad, when he is restored back to his normal health.

The Kansas state free employment office on Minnesota avenue reports having many calls for farm help at wages ranging from $30 to $50 per month, with board, room, and laundry. The Chester trial on the Missouri side sort of crowded the inauguration off the front pages of the dailies. But, as Ring Lardner said, there were as many simps in Washington for the inauguration as there were during war times.
