DIXON Florida's Greatest Preacher and Evangelist Will be in charge Come and hear this Gospel Preacher and Singer VOLUME VII TW REV. I. H. DIXON FLORIDA'S GREATEST PREACHER Noted Evangelist Now Drawing Thousands at First A. M. E. Church Revival-A Great Many Profess. Many Are Striging the Trail—Evangelist Dr. I. H. Dixon, known as one of the greatest preachers and soul-getters in the Southern Orange State (Florida) opened up a two weeks' campaign for souls at First A. M. E. church last Sunday. Dr. Dixon preached his first sermon to a Kansas audience at the morning service, when more than a thousand souls were his close attentive liteners. The sermon was a brilliant bit of theology, with a speritual essence than run through every pew. Men and women give vent to their souls feelings, all over the church. Five souls acknowledged Christ to the pardon of their sins, at this service and others connected with the church. The evangelist delivered another wonderful and forceful sermon, at the evening service, when another soul was completely saved. The house was full all day of worshippers of anxious men and women to hear this wonderful Gospel preacher. The weekly meetings are bringing out great crowds every night, where men and women are yielding to the argument of this man of God. The city is aroused as has not been witnessed for years and the meetings are reaching into Missouri and the surrounding towns. The music for these meetings are being furnished by the big double choir of the church with Mrs. Jackson at the pipe organ. A number of visiting ministers are present at these services each evening, some coming as far as Olathe. These meetings will continue all next week, closing Monday night, October the 31st. Have you heard Dr. I. H. Dixon, at First A. M. E. church? Wonderful!

Chicago, Ill.,) Oct. 21.—The forbearing public is holding its nose and reaching for its gas mask, because the Democratic burrowing carnivore, conforming to the predisposition of its counterpart in natural history, is driven to desperation and is beginning to emit oxious odors. One of the unfailing signs of Democratic desperation is when the cry goes up of "Negro domination." The whipped Hun cried "kamarad," but the cornered Democrat and the skunk, alike in many things, perfume the air with noxious gasses and filth from nether sources. Witness the effort that is being made by the authorities in the Democratic party and prated by Candidate Cox himself in reference to the miserable bugbear of social equality and Negro domination Observe the effort to pillory white men who have been even just to the Negro. Watch the wanton propaganda to array the workingmen of the races against each other, all over the signature of the Democratic State Executive Committee of Ohio The deft and glib manner in which that committee refers to our prominent women as negresses is not only an insult to colored American citizenship, but a slap in the face of all American citizenship. No underhand effort of the Reds could be more directly contrary to the spirit of American institutions. Berkman and Goldman were deported for crimes such as the Democratic committee are committing in sheer desperation of desire to prolong their rule of ruin, extravagance and racial injustice. But It Is All Right One of the best evidences of the prevailing fact that the Democrats are whipped is the publication of the miserable circular by the Ohio executive committee of that party trying to stir up racial hatred. There never was a time when the Democrats were whipped that they did not resort to the cry of "Negro domination." And as a simple suggestion of Democratic consistency, while the Cox committee in Ohio is screaming against Negro domination and low-grading Negro womanhood, their candidate for senator in the neighboring State of Indiana is falling on his knees begging for Negro votes on the grounth that he used to "sling hash" with them. But it is all right. The signs are right. The Democrats are running true to form. Their cry is the squeal of the coward, driven to the corner. Withal, the disgraceful reference over its signature against the race will solidify the colored people and nauseate the justice-loving white people. Bubble of Negro Domination. An appeal for simple justice cannot be construed as a desire to dominate. The Negro in this country has never felt any such desire. He holds out for an equal opportunity, such as the constitution has granted him and the Democrats have denied him. He asks only that the modus vendi accorded to all American citizens be given to him. But this is the insult that the Democratic executive committee of Ohio offers to the intelligence of the entire American electorate: "Ohioans should remember that the time has come when we must handle this problem in somewhat the same way as the South is handling it, and in such a way bring greater con- CITY Grasping at Straws LEAGUE OF NATIONS Bronsky AFFEKATIONS COX PUBLIC SENTIMENT LEAGUE OF NATIONS Dronning As a scientist, a gift to mind and not to matter, I beg space in your most excellent paper to express the following: The brain and nerves with which we think and feel are as material as a leg or an arm, and is subject to the same laws for its preservation and destruction. All forms of our ideas are presented to the mind for determination, as to their fitness for right or wrong, true or false. From a psychological point of view, perception the first act of the mind, which consists in the reception of ideas concerning external objects through the medium of the senses, the repetition of these ideas and the development of new wants gave birth to our sentiments and thoughts, thus our intellect, which perceives or understands, or which receives or comprehends, the ideas communicated to it by the senses or by perception, or by other means otherwise called the "Understanding." Why did Joshua command the sun and the moon to stand still. Was the earth moving too? What do we mean when we say the sun rises and go down? What do you understand about the universe before there was any earth.

We should remember what history tells us of the dark days when Negroes controlled the government in the South, the enormous expenditures and debts incurred, the indignities heaped upon white women and children, the vicious attempt of the South Carolina Negro legislature to give every Negro forty acres of land and a mule. "Men and women of Ohio! Rally to the ballot box and give such a verdict as will forever rid Ohio of this menace to yourselves and your children." This pronunciamento will be repudiated by every well-meaning citizen in the United States, it matters not whether he is white or black, woman or man, Jew or Gentile. Have you heard Dr. I. H.

GOOD WORK AND MUCH OF IT AC- COMPLISHED Regular Meetings to be Held in the Future— Propaganda in Matters Concerning the Race. The Civic League held another meeting at its quarters Tuesday evening, and current events were considered. The lack of interest on our part, in Matters which concern us directly, came in for a goodly share of consideration. The Increase of Race Prejudice was another, which received much discussion. The Reorganization of the original Ku Klux Klan conspiracy, in certain of the states, was mentoned as evidence of this prejudice. It was observed, however, that the mention of the name does not now, as it did formerly, shed withering terror to us, for the reason that there is a higher degree of intelligence to meet it. It was remarked, that our "Fellows" in Kansas City, Me., have struck the proper chord, by holding propaganda meetings in the churches where matters peculiar to our welfare are plainly presented. This is a most excelent method, and one which we at one time undertook in this city,—and it is to our shame, that we have so grossly neglected to continue it. It was unanimously decided to amend our way, and ask, implore, and insist that each and everyone get into that line again. It was suggested, that business men should not feel that they have no interest in any act, which is not a direct barter or trade, but should see the full force of "Breednig the habit" in our people. That our preachers should recognize the fact that we are "short" on more than one thing, and that we may receive coaching profitably on a great many others. And that teachers should observe, that there are lots of things which we do not know, and that they can help us much, and in many ways. And from now on, each will be asked to help to keep the pot boiling—even until it reaches the "Melting stage." 50 trained Gospel singers at First A. M. E. church revival.

These reports show that in places where teachers' salaries have been increased 100% or more the situation is nearly always satisfactory. But such places are comparatively few, and in localities where salaries have been increased 50% or less the teacher shortage is commonly greater than a year ago. Rural communities are hardest hit. Signed reports from superintendents of many counties indicate that a third of their rural schools cannot open for want.of teachers. Tens of thousands of schools will be in charge of teachers who have no professional preparation and whose academic training barely exceeds that of the children they teach. THE TEACHER SHROTAGE Kansas City, Kansas, has 57 teachers new to the system this year. These are teachers secured to take the places of teachers who resigned to attend school, to accept other work, and to be married. It has been very much easier to secure new teachers for the present school year than for a number of years past. This is on account of the raise in teachers' salaries given by the board of education last spring. Teachers have applied for positions in Kansas City from all parts of the country. There has been an opportunity to select from the very best teachers of other school systems. The 57 new teachers bring to Kansas City, Kansas, extensive preparation of training and a wealth of experience gained from some of the best school systems. The following is sent out by the National Department of Education at Washington, D. C.: Relief from this serious situation which imperils the stability of American rural life, will be sought from the next session of congress.

POINT OF ORIGIN Jerry was engaged in his nightly shelling of Varennes. A negro pioneer from the corps ammunition dump, seeking an abri, clambered down into an artillery P. C., and lay down beside the captain, who was catching a few moments' sleep. Aroused, the captain raised himself on one elbow and demanded, "Where the hell did you come from?"
