ADMISSION.....10c Mrs. Pauline Woodfork, President. J. F. Griffin, Pastor EIGHTH STREET BAPTIST SEWING CIRCLE MEETS The Eighth Street Baptist Sewing Circle gave a fine program Sunday. Mrs. H. Berry is president, but Mrs. F. Phelan asked those who participated. Almost every number had something appropriate on Christianity. The Metropolitan choir rendered fine music. Mrs. O. Moton had a reading, interspersed with hymns. Mrs. W. Dwiggins had a paper on how "Women Should Think It An Honor to Become Mothers." Miss Myrtle Stewart sang a sweet sacred solo. Knowing of Mrs. Matthews' ovation received at the Forum on her poem last Sunday, she was asked on the program and read on original poem, suitable for to further God's work, suitable for the day, and the work of the Circle, on "Witnessing and Sowing for Christ." She was cheered when announced, and was cheered greatly at the close. The vocal duet by the Misses Knapper was very pretty. Prof. J. P. King was cheered when announced, and in talking on "What Shall We Do." used good "Daniel," one of the Bible characters spoken of in Mrs. Matthews' poem, as his illustration of a true Christmas. He was greatly cheered. Mrs. Pearl Love recited on "Spirituality," and was cheered. Mrs. Phelan thanked the choir, Prof. King, Mrs. Dwiggins and all others. The collection was quite large. Some others named on this program, perhaps, we did not get, but it was an afternoon well spent and enjoyed by the large number present. HORTON, KANSAS The Sewing Circle of the A. M. E. church gave a bazaar and six o'clock dinner Tuesday of last week, which was quite a success, realizing for their treasury $72.30. The trustees at Sabetha put on a big rally Sunday, which was quite a success. It will close the fourth Sunday in May. The Easter exercises at both charges were lovely. Rev. A. H. Hamilton is the popular and successful pastor of these charges and his work is phenomenal. CHURCH DIRECTORY The Pulpit Aid Board of First A. M. E. church placed on the front entrance of the church a handsome plate, with the order of services on it, in gold letters. It is a most beautiful piece of work and adds much to church appearance. Mrs. Bryson is president of this board and their work and services since their organization, has been of great worth. Rev. John W. Richardson, pastor of the Walnut Boulevard Baptist church, who has been quite sick for several months, has been given a leave of absence by his church to seek a place of rebuilding up his physical weakness. It is hoped by all that he may soon find himself back in his former normal health. Mrs. D. W. Carson, 914 Walker avenue, has been quite sick for more than a week.

P.)—A local colored preached here startled his auditors Sunday morning with the following somewhat remarkable prayer: "Oh, Lawd, give Thy servant this mornin' de eye of de eagle and de wisdom of de owl; connect his soul with de gospel telephone in de central skies; illuminate his brow with de sun of heaben; pizen his mind with love for the people; turpentine his imagination; grease his lips with 'possum oil; loosen his tongue with de sledge hammer of Thy power; 'lectrify his brain with de lightnin' of de word; put 'petual motion in his ahms; fill him plum full of the dynamite of Thy glory; 'noint him all over with de kerosene oil of Thy salvation and set him on fire—Amen!"

The Odd Fellows' choir of Kansas City. Mo., rendered excellent music for the occasion. When Dr. Griffin called for the collection, the members of First Church and friends responded in large numbers, most everyone laying a dollar on the table. Rev. Johnson expressed in appreciative words how thankful he and his members were to the pastor of First church its members and friends, for their liberal giving. The ladies of Bethel served an appetizing dinner, from which they realized a neat sum. This congregation will soon start on its new building.

She is said to be one of the best and most efficient typists of our city. CHEER-U MANUFACTURING COMPANY About a year ago, Mr. J. S. Newman, one of our young and progressive citizens, opened up a soda pop manufacturing establishment at 316 Nebraska avenue. After running there for a few months the demands for his sodas were so great the room was inadequate to fill his orders. So he secured larger quarters at 1218 Armstrong avenue, where he is now, and his business has so grown and the season is yet to come for these drinks that he is anticipating having to enlarge the plant he now occupies The Missouri side soft drink parlors would take all he could make as they say the Cheer-U sodas are the most-called for of any they handle and the same thing exists among the companys dispensers on the Kansas side. Mr. Newman is known as an expert in making syrups and flavors, which is the main secret in putting up these carbonated drinks. Mrs. Ada Simms, 841 Ella avenue, gave a delightful musical entertainment, in honor of Prof. S. D. Carrington, of Marked Tree, Ark. Refreshments were served by the hostess, and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all.

Mr. Luckett is married and lives at 329 Garfield avenue. This plant is equipped with everything that is had in a first-class, up-to-date cleaning house. and as fine an automobile delivery as is seen on the streets of the two cities, and they are not stingy in using gas, when it comes to service. They go anywhere and everywhere. All one has got to do is to call Grand 0744, and the service will promptly be at your command. WORDS OF WISE MEN We may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone. One bad habit will break down a man's character enough to admit another. The failures of some will be found an eternity beyond the successes of others. Responsibility is the weighted keel which preserves the balance of the ship of life. It is only by keeping our eyes fixed on what light we have that we can ever get any more. Your lack of money may be the fault of circumstances, but your lack of friends is certainly your own. bait 1 2 3 . Be careful what you hate and what you praise. The son learns from his father what to admire anl what to despise. To know how to wring victory from defeat, and to make-stepping-stones of our stumbling blocks is the secret of success. WISEMAN & SON Wiseman & Son Grocery company, at 1718 North Seventh street, have built up a nice business since going into business about a year ago. Mr. Wiseman started with a market basket, carrying his groceries from some wholesale house and today he is carrying as nice a stock of groceries and meats as most of his competitors. His credit stands high and any house in the city would be glad to get his business. Here is a man who had the sticking qualities. Elder J. R. Richardson, pastor of the Walnut Boulevard Baptist church, left this week for Los Angeles, Cal., for his health. Mrs. Ester Smith, who has been visiting Mrs. Julia Hall, her sister, has returned home to Tulsa, Okla. ‘PAGE TWO “THE KANSAS CITY ' ADVOCATE -. THOMAS KENNEDY, Eiitor and Prop. pe ee ‘Thos.

The services all day were inspirational. The Allen League had a good meeting at 6 p. m., and was well attended. The pastor gave an observa- tional talk at the evening ser- vice which turned the eyes of many of his hearers inward.

THE CHURCH OF THE Liv- ING GOD (C.W.E.F.) (837 Oakland. Rev. J. H. Wright Pastor) y On last Sunday mornnig Sun- day school was just splendid and a lovely lesson was recited. The Jesson was beautifully cate- cized by the superintendent. Many good things were discov- ered in the lesson. The 11 a.m. ‘sermon was preached by Elder James. He preached a wonder- ful, inspiring sermon. Elder James is a good preacher. He has been a Church of God min- ister for quite a while. Elder Wright said some good encour- aging words. The women's meeting met at 5 p.m. They witnessed nice time and every- thing was carried out lovely. The president was on the sick list, the vice-president officiat- ed. At 6:15 the Bible Band was called to order by the presi- dent and after the meeting was thrown open. Then the presi- dent turned the band over to the vice-president, Sister Mary Thomas. The lesson was read and was discussed well, and a genuine good meeting was wit- nessed by all that were present. All are welcome to this Bible Band at any time. The night sernvon was preached by the honorable pastor. He surely preached a glorious sermon and he made the doctrine plain. El- der Wright is a wonderful min- ister. even if he has been blind for 20 years. He is a spiritual preacher and also a spiritual singer.

Mr. Speaker, the railroads are like a beast of prey, which having gorged itself upon its victim now returns with a new appetite to gnaw the bones. Section 209 of the Esch-Cummins Act—the transportation act of 1920—guarantees that for six months following the approval of that act the net earnings of the railroads shall equal the compensation paid by the Government under Federal control, and that any deficiency in such earnings shall be paid from the Public treasury. Section 204 extends this vicious guaranty to those railroads which were never under Federal control. The guaranty is not conditioned on efficient or economical management, nor even upon honest management. The railroad maagers were left free to enter upon an orgy of extravagance, waste, and dishonesty. The Treasury foots the bill. The earnings of the railroads should never have been guaranteed. They are conducting a private business. There is no more reason why the Government should guarantee their profits than the profits of a farmer, merchant, or other business man. Few people of the country knew that the guaranty was given. There are even members of Congress who were ignorant of the fact. The guaranty ought not to have been given. It constituted a betrayal of the public interests. It can not be excused nor justified. The railroads profited from Federal control. The net profits of some of the railroads under Federal control were enormous; for instance, the Union Pacific received 12.8% upon their investment, and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe 10%. Numerous others received from 6% to 10%. The guaranty gave them the same profits and on top of that the opportunity for waste, extravagance and graft. For instance, it gave the Union Pacific a net earning of 12.8% no matter how wasteful and dishonest was its management. The guaranty ought not to have been given. The government got nothing from the guaranty; not a cent of benefit went into the Treasury; it was merely a donation to the railroads. But the guaranty was given. Perhaps it will be said that it constitutes a contract which the United States is bound to perform. I am willing to perform our contracts, unwise though they may be. I apposed the transportation act with all my strength, but I will live up to that act. I will give the railroads all we promised them. I will perform their oppressive bond, but I insist that they take their pound of flesh exactly as it was agreed upon—that they cut it when and where the contract stipulates. They shall not cut their pound of flesh in advance, it is not "so nominated in the bond." By the terms of the guaranty advances to meet current expenses were authorized during the six months' period, but no payments can be made after the six months except a payment in full upon a final settlement of the amount due. Many railroads received advances under the guaranty; these advances aggregated under section 209, $260,391,874, and, under section 204, $622,877.49. The balances which they may be entitled to receive are not yet due and will not be due until there is a final settlement, which in the case of some railroads may be postponed for several years, and during that time no interest thereon will accure. The Winslow act proposes to anticipate the payments not yet due under the guaranty and to pay to the railroads in advance and without deduction of interest the sums which it may be estimated will be found due them upon a final settlement. In its most favorable light it proposes a cold gift to the railroads of the interest which will accure on the deferred payments. It proposes that a debtor shall now pay his note several years hence without discount and without deduction for unaccrued interest. No man can deny this statement. But my opposition to the Winslow bill, which proposes to pay now what may be estimated to become due in future, upon the loss of interest by anticipating payment. I realize that if the railroads are compelled to wait for their money until there is a final settlement we will have a final settlement soon. The railroads will file their claims without delay; we will pay the amounts in sight as due; and that will be the end of the matter. But the guaranty does not limit the time within which final settlements must be made. Claims may be made 10 years hence if the Winslow bill is passed and we pay the railroads their present claims. Final settlements will be delaved indefinitely. Partial payments will be claimed from time to time. The matter will be drawn out, and not only hang over for many years, but added claims will be made. New items will be presented. Aggregations will be swelled to the limit and in the end the Public Treasury will be plundered for $200,000,000 more than if final settlements now were made. The Winslow bill stands to cost the people not only long delay and vexation, but a loss of perhaps $200,000,000 of public money. When the transportation act was passed it was estimated that $490,000,000 would cover the cost of the guaranty. But already the guaranty has cost $261,140,751.49. and additional claims are already made of about $370,000,000. The estimated cost of the guaranty has already jumped from $400,000,000 to $631,000,000. Under the Winslow act the total will reach $800,000,000 to $800,000,000. Think of it! A cool rift of almost $1,000,000,000 from THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE American factories are closing while the foreign-made goods flood our markets.

Buy American Goods! the public funds to the railroad interests of the United States. The railroads cry for help and pretend that their chiefest concern is to give employment to labor. This pretense comes with poor grace from the interests which have evaded the labor sections of the transportation act. The typical railroad attitude toward labor is shown by the statement of the Railroad Labor Board of December 17, 1920, from which I quote: "It has come to the knowledge of this board that certain carriers have intimidated and coerced individual employees seeking the redress of grievances, refused to confer with their employees thereon, have discharged representatives of organizations who sought a conference pursuant to the act, and have refused to refer disputes to this board for its decision. Such carriers have disobeyed the letter and spirit of the act and are violators of the law which it is the duty of all citizens faithfully to support and obey." They say that they want Congress to pass the Winslow act so that they may give employment to labor. Remember that they are now seeking to destroy the national labor agreements; remember that some of them have made sensational cuts in wages without consulting their employees or the Labor Board; remember that some of them discharged thousands of their shop employees so that they might let cost-plus contracts for repairs to outside concerns owned by the same men. Remember that after having strenuously insisted upon the adoption of the labor sections of the transportation act against the bitter opposition of the employees, many of the railroads have flouted those sections with the deliberate purpose of destroying labor organizations and breaking the back of labor's self-respect. Such shameless hypocrisy discredits any claim that the railroads might make in their desire for legislation. If the railways want a donation of public money so that they may be enabled to give men work, I reply that I prefer to give charity direct to the suffering and not to trust a rapacious interest to pass on to the needy the few crumbs that may fall from their table. If we are to make a donaton for the benefit of labor, let us give it direct to labor and not make it by extreme indirection that the worker will receive it by being given work at starvation wages. If we are to practice the maternalism which the interests behind the railroads have fought so viciously when others were the supposed beneficiaries and spend public money to give men work, I say let us give them work at wages fixed by Congress and upon public work, so that the general public may receive some benefit. I would not be guilty of sending my rich neighbor a fine turkey merely to enable him to pass on the bones to a starving child. The railroads cvr poverty and assert that, notwithstanding the increases in rates by which they take an additional 1,600,000 000 every year from the pockets of the people, they are about to go into bankruptcy. They demand further money direct from the Public Treasury. But it is not in the Treasury. The Treasury owes more than two billion in short-term certificates falling due monthly. More must be borrowed within a few days to meet current expenses. What the railroads demand is that the Treasurer of the United States shall go out and borrow three hundred or four hundred millions in order to anticipate the payments which may become due under the guaranty. They do not consider that the public credit will be impaired—that the value of Liberty bonds will be further depre- AMERICA FIRST! ciated; that the distress of other borrowers will be aggravated. In their selfish desire for money for themselves they are willing to threaten the whole financial structure. But the railroads' cry of poverty is a false 'cry. They do not need money nearly so bad as they represent. In April, 1920, the Pennsylvania sold its bonds at $7%. That railroad is now floating an immense bond issue at $12\%$. The financial world does not credit the railroad cry of poverty. The Washington Star, which is a sort of organ of financial interests, on January 15, referring to the Winslow bill,'said: "Very likely the testimony before the House Committee on Interstate Commerce yesterday to the effect that the railways were seriously crippled by not receiving money lue from the government had something to do with the hesitation in this class of stocks. Still there was not the least weakness. It was obvious that the case of the railroads was being made out as bad as possible in order to hasten relief action." Wall Street knows the condition of the railroads and Wall Street holds railroad stock and bonds at from 5% to 25% above the prices this time last year. The railroads are merely taking advantage of the figures for two months' temporary business depression to frighten Congress into opening the Treasury door. The railroads are refusing to pay their bills for materials. They tell the material men that they have not got the money to pay, and ask them to urge upon their congressmen to vote for the Winslow bill. The material men have responded, and as the result there is not a Member of Congress who has not received urgent requests from every railroad-material concern in his district to vote for the bill. With characteristic duplicity the railroad interests resort to this typical fraud upon Congress in order to get what they want. It is a railroad hold-up of the usual kind. The material men have probably written their Congressmen in good faith. They have been deceived. They do not know that some of the railroads which have asked them to bring pressure to bear on Congress have already had large advances under the guarantee, and there is little left to them under it. Others have borrowed money from the revolving J. C. BRANCHE & CO Real Estate Insurance Loans Collections FAIRFAX 5315 1314 NORTH FIFTH STREET KANSAS CITY.
