Kansas City Advocate

KANSAS VOLUME VII "If not Harding and the Republican party, to whom shall we go to save our country?" was the question asked by Charles Stewart, A. M., D. D., of Chicago, general missionary of the National Negro Baptist convention, in speaking last Sunday morning at Calvary, Baptist church, Dr. S. B. Butler, pastor. Dr. Stewart is one of the most noted men of his race in this country and travels perhaps more than any other member of his race. He came to the city Saturday night with, Dr. Butler as his house guest as well as the guest of his church. He has been through Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma, and will leave tonight for St. Louis, Mo. Problems of Today. The sermon last Sunday morning was a practical one dealing with the questions of today. He used as his text the question put to Jesus by Simon Peter on the occasion when Jesus delivered that memorable address in the synegogue in apernium, declaring Himself to be the Bread of Life, and saying that He came down from Heaven. He was rejected by the Jews, and his own disciples took cold feet and were leaving Him, and then it was that He turned to the twelve and asked, "Will ye also go away?" "Lord, to whom shall we go?"—John VI:68. Conditions Acute "This country has been torn asunder," said Dr. Stewart, "and we are trying to find a way out of our present dilemma. Some are declaring that we should get away from Senator Harding and his party, and realizing what has gotten us into this fix, I am forced to ask 'to whom shall we go?' Instead of getting us out, our Democratic friends get us deeper into it. They cannot grapple with the great problems, and I believe that our salvation is now in the hands of the Republicans and Senator Harding, who is to be our next President. Family Affairs. "I believe that it was a desire to make the United States a family affair, passing the throne from father to son-in-law, and making father a kind of president of the world that has gotten us into this fix. For a short period our good President turned all of the railroads over to his son-in-law, and he at once aimed to tie every employee to him by indiscriminately rasing wages without counting the cost, and looking down to the future, saw the muddle and wiggled out of it by saying his salary was not large enough for him to live, hence had to leave the cabinet and his railroad baby in order to keep from starving. Now the American people must pay for Mr. McAdoo's experimenting. We pray thee, Lord, to deliver us from the hands of our enemies November 2. It will be done. In Kentucky. "To you, my people, you have nothing to expect from the Democratic party. I was in Kentucky when Mrs. Fulton opened the campaign for her people, and it was not the course of a statesman but a little trade on the Negro, and backing that up, I noted a few days ago that Governor Cox got down to the place of a little thimble-head peanut politician "by bringing in the Negro. He was out of fodder. Why not take up the league of nations and try to unravel it. It is as confused as the tongues at Babel. "It is to be regretted that in a country like this, full of thought, that men seeking office should resort to that unmanly, un-American, unGodly effort to stir up race prejudice, race hatred and race antipathy. In some sections of our country the killing of a member of my race is like takin ga royal meal. Some of the states, in face of the federal constitution, has placed us in slavery by robbing us of the franchise, and so doing they are in direct open rebellion against our government. If these things go unchecked, it is hard to tell where the end will be. Disfranchise Negro "I was down in Oklahoma lastt week and found there that an effort is made to disfranchise the Negro. The intent of disfranchisement characterizes the spirit of slavery. To nullify the voice of the laboring class in a republican form of government is not a democratic idea, but auto- TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. TWO YOUNG GIRLS KILLED BY ROCK ISLAND TRAIN Wednesday, while walking on the tracks of the Rock Island just west of the City park, two colored girls, Maggie Williams, 15 years old, and Alice Brew, 17 years old, were run down by a passenger train of that road, both being instantly killed. The girls evidently did not hear the approaching train. Mrs. Emma Butler after a long visit to Mrs. Maude Jones, returned to her home in Sacramento, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Scott's three-week-old daughter visited her other grandma, on Everett avenue Sunday. cratic; because to destroy their freedom, to prohibit their advancement, is the way to demorilization, inefficiency and in competency. Their power to advance and compete with laboring classes of any other part of the world where there are advanced ideas and progressive movements, is negatived. "Whith disfranchisement accomplished, what are the results? The success of the Negro as a free, independent laboring class is defeated. The crown of bondage is again placed on his brow. His chances to develop to the fullness of his power is destroyed. With independence condition of serfdom. As a working gone, he has no alternative except a class he can neither assert or defend his rights. Laboring Classes "Socially wrong, morally wrong, and commercially bad! The contentment of the laboring classes amounts to the total wealth and power of the nation. Can any mind conceive the tide of unrest in a large laboring population wo are smarting under the restraint of prescriptive laws, that de-citizenize them, while it gives another laboring, class the oppresser's hand? Is this shameful plight stands the Negro today, and American citizen! "The man who knows that the laws under which he lives violate the first principles of natural justice, is bound to strive, by all honorable means, to break down and defeat these laws. Among the honorable means is, the right of armed resistance—the sacred right to revolutionize. This is the higher law which sanctified the revolt of George Washington against the constituted authorities then existing in this country. Fattled to Ballot. - "By the spirit of patriotism, by the usage of the Nation, by the laws of society the Negro is entitled to his ballot and should not be disfranchised. To be a man with education, he must have freedom; to have freedom, he must be honest; to be honest, he must be patriotic; to be patriotic, he must be brave; to be brave, he must love; to love, he must be honorable, to be honorable he cannot be without the ballot. Be Kind To All "I want my peo le to be kind. Others may hate, but let us teach ours to love. Love those who hate you, and wish no man evil. I have the highest regard for the Democratic party, for they have done well. They went through the war, and tried to establish world democracy to be the Democratic party for the world. This required work, and I know they must be tired and then it has been a burden to Governor Cox, to travel over this country to watch Harding's campaign fund, and in the face of all this, I think it is time for us to give them a rest, and this is what I am asking the American peopel to do November 2, vote our great President Wilson and his party-an eternal rest. Fight With Ballot. "I thank God that I belong to a race of Americans true to the core, and an insult to Old Glory is a personal insult to my race, and we have tried to resent it on every battlefield, and we will continue to do so. As we fight our countrys' battles with the gun, let us fight our own battles with the ballot, the true American weapon. 'Without a ballot I am less than a man.' Dr. Stewart spoke last Sunday evening at New Hope Baptist church, Rev. E. T. Fishback, pastor. He is also a personal friend of the Rev. J. R. Ransom, of the A. M., E. church.—Wchita Daily—Beacon.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. ANTI-LYNCHING BILL It is gratifying to note the sentiment throughout the country favoring adoption of the anti-lynching bill now in possession of the house committee on judiciary, and which is designed to employ the forces of the federal government in stamping out the shameful institution which has for so many years besmirched the records of American justice. The provisions of the measure permit any person charged with violation of the state's criminal laws to seek protection from the federal if there is reason to believe that because of his race, color, religion or nationality he is likely to be denied the full measure of justice at the hands of the state officials or subjected to the violence of mobs. He is authorized to file with the federal district court a petition setting forth that belief, and if the fears contained in the petition are sustained the prisoner is to be held in the custody of the United States marshal for protection until he can be tried in the proper federal court. Interference with officers of the United States in executing the orders of the federal court, or assault upon any person within their custody is $1,000 and imprisonment for not more than $10,000 and imprisonment for not more than ten years; to rescue or attempt to rescue or to take from the custody of the officer any person under arrest subjects the offender to a fine of not more than $1,000 and imprisonment for nos more than six months; and if that action is followed by the killing of the individual so taken from custody, all persons engaged in that abduction or actual slaying will be prosecuted for murder. To make the scope of the law complete, it is furthermore set forth that every individual participating in a mob or riotous assemblage which takes the life of any person under arrest will be tried for murder in the federal court. The proposed legislation goes a step further in that it demands the co-operation of the county and state authorities in the execution of its provisions by a clause subjecting every county in which such an unlawful killing occurs to a forfeiture of $10,000 which may be recovered by action in the name of the United States. The money will be given to those rendered dependent by the death of the victim, or to the federal government, state, county or municipal officers who, having reasonable cause to believe that mob action is contemplated, neglect to make efforts to prevent it, or permit its execution, are liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years and a fine of $5,000. These are the essential features of the bill which proposes to extend for the first time the jurisdiction of the federal government to lynchings or attempted lynchings. The provision which inflicts a punishment upon officers derelict in their duty is a commendable one and alone should operate to materially decrease the number of those who annually fall victims to mobs. The clause which should be made the most effective, however, is that which places every mob member in the category of a murderer and subjects him to the jurisdiction of a federal court. It is the lienency which state courts and officials have extended to the individual members of mobs that has so greatly encouraged their depredations.

Synopsis:A disgraced sailing master, Marchbanks, is engaged by a mysterious hunchback, to sail a steamer down the Pacific Coast, on a mysterious errand. He discovers that the car driving him to the vessel is in charge of a young lady who has donned a chauffeur's uniform. Unseen forces try to prevent them reaching the vessel. They are arrested and taken to a police station.. They are released by the sergeant in in charge when the girl impersonates the daughter of a prominent political "boss." They are in danger of being arrested the second time. III. It was now a few minutes after noon. For the past hour and a half I had been seeing life and its changes with such rapidity of action that I wondered if, after all, the whole thing was not a dream. During the twelve years I had sailed the seas I often had been in close quarters, but at sea I knew "where I was, so to speak. But here, in the middle of a crowded Frisco street, up against something I could not figure out, I was at a loss to know exactly what to do. Someone, it seemed, was attempting to keep me from getting to my vessel. Whether it was the people who fired into my room when Doctor Rountree looked and signaled through my window; the people who attempted to get me jailed for highway robbery, one of whom was now following and directing the officer who was coming toward us, I did not know. Once, but once only, I thought it might be agents of the Ocean Shippers' Trust, which trust, like every other large corporation, keeps an up-to-date "blacklist." But second thought assured me it was not. A black list could only operate to keep me from securing employment. I knew that if I shipped at mate, the owners would not bother their heads about me further. They would not care what I did ashore or who of the independents shipped me. I had formulated no plan of escape when I took the steering wheel. My only thought was to use myself as a buffer between the oncoming policeman and the girl, for I could tell the strain was wearing her and she had lost her nerve. In an emergency, left to herself, she would be useless. And I knew enough about the law to know that she had put herself within it by aiding me, a tentative prisoner, charged with highway robbery, to escape. I had never heard of Judge Lowe, but from the effect of the mention of his name had on the sergeant, I believed him to be some important,political character. At least he had a pull with the police. The policeman coming toward us had two vehicles to pass around before he reached our car, when I took the steering wheel. The engines were running and I had noted the pedal the girl pressed. I was going to turn directly toward the officer, run him down if possible; then back away and try to get out on a side street. when the girl pressed my arm. "Here, here!" she said, excitedly. I turned. The car we were in was third from the sidewalk. The row of cars nearest the walk was moving. "Can we make it over there?" she asked. "Abandon this?" "Why not?" "All right." We leaped from the car. Half carrying and half guiding the girl, we ducked under the overhanging hood of one car, reach the, moving line of cars, and before I really had time to think of what I was doing I opened the door of a taxicab and drew the girl in after me. The chauffeur looked around, threw up the meter sign so registering would begin and asked: "Where to?" "Straight ahead. We're in a hurry. Get out of this street." The chauffeur looked, at us closely, between times. Within the space of a minute, however, we were out of the jam and speeding away. I looked back and saw a policeman and another man examining the car we had deserted. I breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over to the girl. "Where will I tell him to drive?" The chauffeur heard me, for he slowed the car down and turned around. "There's a church down here about four blocks. The minister lives next door and if you've got the license I'll stand witness for you." "What do you mean?" I asked. "Ain't you two eloping?" The girl burst into a peal of laughter. "Drive to the water front," she said between gasps of laughter. "I must tell daddy. Oh, daddy, if you but knew how near your devoted daughter was to the altar you'd have detectives dogging my steps." "Your father is—?" I asked. "I am Miss Rountree," she said simply. "Then would you mind telling me what vessel I am to navigate? The sergeants suspicions were aroused more than anything else by the fact that did not know the name of the vessel of which I am master." "It is the Cleo. She's an old tramp steamer, but father has made it very comfortable and it really looks presentable—inside. The exterior is somewhat disreputable, however. Father had no time to have it repainted." "Is he in such a hurry, then?" She looked at her watch. "We should have sailed one hour ago. No doubt father will be waiting for us. He isn't very patient either." "But he will not doubt our account of the reason for delay?" "Not at all. Everything that has happened was as planned with the exception of that packet of papers. I knew something of the kind would happen, but I was uncertain just what. When that man ordered you searched I knew they would find something on your person which would give the police an excuse for holding you. Twenty-four hours wait would have been fatal to our plans." "Are there no other master mariners in Frisco?" I asked, interested enough to wonder just why I was chosen. "Few—idle—of that I know nothing," Miss Rountree explained. "The fact is that you fit in with our plans more than any other sea captain could. You have no relatives here. One other fact in your favor is that you are reticent. And another thing is that you have a happy faculty of getting out of tight places. A while ago in that street jam with the officer coming right toward us I could have escaped, but I waited to see whether you could get out on your own initiative or not. You showed lack of precaution, however, when you accepted the packet from the servant." "I thought your father had dropped it while he was in my room." "That Japanese servant no doubt was in the employ of parties who wished to prevent us leaving with the crew we have picked. He overheard a portion of the telephone conversation, you say?" "I don't know. All I know was that he was at my back when I finished the conversation Your father had informed me that the sailing date was Monday. When he telephoned me I knew I would have to rush my packing to be ready to sail today." "We advanced the date because someone learned things we have tried to keep secret. What is that new machine detectives use to record conversations of suspects and can be kept under a bed, in a drawer, secretly?" "A detectaphone?" "Perhaps that's its name. Someone must have placed one in our quarters at the hotel we have been stoping at while in the city." Then I recollected the man who had caught the rear of the automobile that carried Doctor Rountree from my boarding house the evening before. I recounted the circumstances to Miss Rountree. "That accounts for many things that have happened last THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE night and today. Fred probably pulled that stunt. (You don't think it unwomanly to indulge in slang a little do you? Daddy doesn't like it, but you'll hear all sorts after you've been aboard the Cleo awhile." Slang from her lips seemed excellent English to me. Sailorlike, I could speak some of a dozen different lingoes, and a great deal of English, but could never get anything according to strict grammatical rules. But aboard ship I made myself understood, and as long as one can't master on a passenger steamer, where swells abound—the rich, human swells, not those of the water—that is all that is necessary. "Who's Fred?" I asked. "If this cruise proves successful you'll never meet him. If you do meet him it's doubtful whether we will make a success of the venture or not. But here we are at the water-front." A word from me and the chauffeur swung his car around sharply and opened the door for us. I handed him a bill. "Keep the change," I said airily. Then I took my bag and followed the girl, who was walking slowly away. I had taken but a step or two when the chauffeur caught me by the shoulder. He was a man of my size and as resenting an insult I wheeled around and was in the act of striking him when the girl grasped my arm. "Wait!" she cautioned. "For goodness sake get into no quarrel here! We are in danger." "What do you want?" I asked th echauffeur. "It's all right to say 'keep the change'," the man said, "but there isn't any change to this. It's counterfeit." 1 took the bill he extended and looked at it. I was not certain it was the bill I had given him; it looked like an old confidence came to me, and had I been alone I would have taken the matter up with the man in a way he would have regretted, but the girl plucked at my arm and whispered: "Pay him—silver." I reached into my pocket and drew out two silver dollars. I was angry and took pains to read the meter dial. "Your charge is one dollar and twenty cents. Have you change for a dollar?" "You bet!" he said. I gave him the coins and received the right change in return. "Now, my man," I said, "I'll be back in a few days and if I see you around town I'll manhandle you." "And if I see you around here again," he returned, "I'll turn you in for passing counterfeit money." The girl pulled at my sleeve again and I accompanied her down to the water-front. "Another one of Fred's playful tricks, eh?" I asked. "Perhaps so," the girl said thoughtfully. We walked down the docks, perhaps two blocks, entered a shed and emerged on the gang plank of one of the most laughable specimens of a steamer it has ever been my misfortune to gaze upon. The hull was covered with red rust; the funnels had been painted half way down and there, as if the paint had given out, the painted portion ceased abruptly and red rust began and continued to the deck. The ventilators were covered with hard oil. "You need a master on this ship," I remarked dryly. "Perhaps, though, it is best. At this time of year we'll likely have good weather and the men'll need something to keep them employed." Two men stood at the gangplank. As we passed they nodded to the girl and looked curiously at me. They were armed with revolvers. Let Barlow Fix It! PHONE BARLOW YOUR TROUBLES FIFIELD 4484-R RESIDENCE, 326 PARALLEL AVE. "Do you allow the men to carry weapons?" I asked. "These men have been standing watch and we arm them. It is necessary to have guards around the ship until we leave port—and perhaps after that." She lead the way aft and I followed. (To be continued) THANKS TO MY FRIENDS I am in your class. A small taxpayer. I am the only official in Wyandotte County who ever ran for re-election on his record, submitted to the people, and won by an increased majority. The Bankers, Industries, Merchants and Large Land Owners fought me. Many motor car owners, who had been getting by with a return of from 15% to 40% of actual value, or evading paying taxes altogether, also fought me. My administration has saved the thoughtful, honest taxpayers money. They appreciated my efforts and fought and won for my administration. I take this means of thanking you, one and all. WM. G.

Little Switzerland had 396 co-operative societies in 1914, with a collective membership of 276,000. By 1918 there were 461 societies, with a total mem- bership of 341,826. The collec- tive turnover of these societies, in 1918 was 237,595,778 francs. And the wholesale trade opera- tions increased from 45,717,- 076 francs in 1914 to 129,719,- 746 fracs in 1918. ® In 1914 the number of eo-op- erative societie in Sweden was 588, with a membership of 92,- 307. At the end of 1918 there were 849 societies, with a col- lective membership of 203,000. In Norway there were 149 societies, which did a business of 10,019,000 kroner.

To give an idea of its size, three apples were simulta- neously picked up by their stenogra- pher and weighed, which tweighed two pounds and a half. This com- pany expects soon to’ have other fruit and vegetables that are grown in Benzie county. s Mrs, R. Brummel, 814 ‘Nebraka ‘avenue, who has been ill for some days, is much improved.

Bell West 4101, -.: = COAL CONTROL HINTED TO END PROFITEERING New York, Nov. 13.—If the coal owners of this country do not stop gouging the-public, the government will have to take ‘control, declared United States | Senators Calder and Edge in a statement issued in this city to- day. They give notice that “unless the coal industry re- forms itself and cuts prices to a reasonable figure by December 6,” a bill’will be introduced in the senate which will provide. for the “most stringent regula- tion of every branch of the bus- iness.” i The senators make the sweep- ing charge that “the coal indus- try as a whole stands self-con- victed of practicing gross ex- tortion on the whole public of the United States. “With 46,000,000 more tons of coal produced so far in 1920 over the same period of 1919 there is no reason for high prices and coal shortage,” it is added. “The wrongdoing has been admitted by D. R. Wentz, presi- dent of the National Coal Asso- ciation; by Commissioner Clyde B. Atchison of the interstate commerce commission and by | Daniel Willard of the Baltimore | & Ohio railroad, representing | the railroads. , “We are oposed to govern- || ment regulation as a policy, but 1| the government must assume -| responsibility for its people and 1| we will recommend a bill for .| the entire control of the indus- try just as far as possible un- der the constitution unless prices are materially reduced tc the public by December 6. “The coal industry stands "| self-convicted. t| “There issa general confes. ; | Sion on the part of the industry even though guilty individuals "| have not been identified. The : reformation of these evils is ‘ their own concern primarily most of the leading coal opera: : tors realize that and are seek *| ing today to clean up their busi “| ness from within. That is thei: i only salvation. If they can’ solve their own problem we wil , have to use drastic means t solve it.” Lady Receiver Named _ For Local Newspaper A receiver was appointed last Friday for the Daily Kansan, located two doprs south of The Bulletin office. The receiver is a lady ‘lawyer. She will be at a disadvantage_in running a newspaper, however, for a lady can’t swear when she has to meet the payroll with only 42 cents in the bank. A disagree- ment of stockholders caused the Kansan receivership. On the same day a receiver was ap- pointed for the Kansas City Journal. This receivership is only temporary, however. In a statement to the public the officers of the Journal company state that they have plenty of money and there will be no change in the policy of the pa- per. It is thought that as soon as the paper gets two of three more subscribers on the Kansas side, or at least enough to pay a boy for delivering them, the receiver will be discharged. If caught with a cramp while swimming, says a doctor book, lie on the back and float. Don’t try this until the weather gets warmer. Try io lie standing up at this season of the year.

The rear end ‘of an automatic locker of English invention. is made of ground glass, on which a car’s number can be painted, and illuminated at night by a lamp inside the locker.
