KANSAS WITH THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF THE RACE IN KANSAS CITY In this column we will endeavor to give a review of the business interests of our race from time to time. It is obviously impossible to print all of this matter in one issue, so if your name is not here now, it will appear later. WITH THE BUSINESS THE RACE IN I In this column we will endeavor business interests of our It is obviously impossible matter in one issue, not here now, it w Mrs. Vance has a nice grocery store and a nice clean stock of goods at the corner of Hallock street and Parallel avenue. Mrs. George Letcher 2624 North Sixth street, has a confectionery and soft dring parlor and also carries school supplies. She has the only store in close proximity to Dunbar school. A. H. Hill, one of our old grocerymen, who was on the corner of Sherman and Georgia for a number of years, is now in his own new building, just one door north of his old stand. Mr. Hill is one of our best citizens and a careful business man. The Ideal Pharmacy at the corner of Fifth street and Haskell avenue, managed by Dr. Washington, is as neat and well kept as any drug store in the city. Everything always looks so sanitary. Dr. Washington, by his genial disposition and knowledge of the business, has made many business friends in that community. Mr. and Mrs. N. Rhodes, 1607 North Eighth street, who has been a success in the grocery business, contemplated selling their business and going to California this fall, but they have decided to remain here, and let well enough alone. They have a nice clean stock of goods and their lbsiness is increasing in a substantial way. Don't pass your own kind and kin. for some that cares only for just what they get out of you. THE REV. RANSOM TAKES A BRIDE We received the intelligence this week of the marriage of Rev. J. R. Ransom, former pastor of First A. M. E. church, now pastor of St. Paul, Wichita, Kansas. The bride was a Mrs. Lancaster of Independence, Kansas, so we learned. Dr. Ransom has been a widower for more than a year. His wife died in Topeka. A YOUNG LIFE RETURNED TO ITS MAKER Mr. Alfred W. Banks, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Banks, 2034 North Hallock avenue, died Tuesday evening at 9:50, after only a week's illness. The deceased was 21 years, two months and 18 days of age at the time of his death. He was a graduate of Sumner High school and had spent one year at Kansas University. Alfred was a bright young man and had an encouraging future. He had many friends, and was well liked by every one who made his acquaintance. He leaves a devoted father, mother, two brothers and two sisters, whose hearts have the deepest sympathy from a host of friends here and elsewhere. The Advocate extends its sincere sympathy to the bereaved family in their sad hours of sorrow. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon from Metropolitan Baptist church at 2 o'clock, Rev. D. A. Holmes officiating. Mr. P. M. Davidson, 2510 Norh Allis, who has been sick for some months, is still confined to the house. Mr. Davidson has many friends who would be exceedingly glad to see him out again: Mrs. Davidson, his splendid wife, makes a fine nurse and is as attentive to the care of her husband and his wants, as ever a mother to her baby.

It is with much regret the State of Texas is giving up one of her brightest and best, but Kansas has open arms to receive all such "Bright Stars." and bids them a hearty welcome. This spiritual giant will be at his new post of duty the first Sunday in November. Come and hear him! The doors of Metropolitan Temple are always open to all. CITY KLU KLUX KLAN IN TEXAS GIVES HADES TO FOLKS Chicago, Ill.—Since I took my pen in hand to write to you the last time I have been moving some and this week finds me right here in Chicago, but I will be far from here before you can read the first lines of this letter but I will let you have what I have in store for you and you may read and reflect. When I wrote that last letter I was in Fort Worth, Texas, and just as full of cuss as one could be without busting open. But I have prayed and been before my pastor and he has forgiven me and will not bring me before the church this time. You see he was down there in Texas also. I could look in his head and tell all the things he had in there, but the killing of that man was enough to make any preacher lay his Bible down for a few minutes. Them Ku Klux down there in Texas are giving hades to white folks and black folks, and believe me, before they are through with this business some one is going to get hurt, or they will be sent to Heaven in such short notice that there will not be time for any hurting. Are you thinking about what I am saying to you? If you don't mind recording it, and telling the world that I said it, I will tell you that lawlessness is an awful thing, and it is covered by sin, and, my honey, sin is going to ruin this country of ours. Mr. White Man, if you don't check sin, you are bound to go down, and you may take me down with you, although I am giving you the warning. It was indeed a pleasure for me to be with them Baptists in Texas, when I was there, also to be the guest of Dr. and Mrs. N. T. Wallis, and they tried to make it happy for me during my stay in town, and I enjoyed being in their home. Dr. Wallis is the tooth dentist doctor I have been telling you about, and believe me, honey, he has all the latest machines for half soiling teeth. He has that thing that will furnish a photograph of all inside of your mouth and tell you all about the condition of the teeth from one end to the other. I think they call it X-rail, or something like that. He has the latest improved for this kind of work. He has a new automobile car carriage and believe me, it is some goer. But then I will not tell you about him this week. He toted me over to Dallas, on Sunday evening, and returned me at night to his home, and Monday morning I got myself together and started for Oklahoma, reaching Oklahoma City Monday night, I got in touch tuch with Dr. E. W. Perry, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church, and president of the state convention. But little time was spent in town, for I had been invited to go to the convention, and as it took me a little time to move, and I had been told by them bug fighters, Dr. Conrad and Dr. Ball not to rush I just got right on down to McAlester, spent the night—no, not the night, for the night was spent on the road, and I got there early in the morning and made it out to the industrial school, supported by the state of Oklahoma for boys of our race. It was a wonderful sight to see nearly one hundred industrious boys. While in the city, I went to the place of business of Rev. Frank Motley, and found him to be one more busy man. I was delighted to have the pleasure of seeing and talking to him. Next found me in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where the Baptists were to have full charge for a week, and I was there to help them take the town, and if possible to baptize them all. It was a great big convention and there was much good accomplished for the race and for the Baptists. The meeting was held at the First Baptist church, Dr. J. T. Johnson, pastor, and it (Concluded on Fourth Page) CIVIC LEAGUE HAD AN INTERESTING MEETING MONDAY The Civic League held a meeting Monday evening over the Home Drug company, Rev. J. F. Griffin, president, presiding. The meeting was well represented and some very important matters of which immediate attention to certain affairs should be looked after for the benefit of our entire racial group in the city.- Committees were appointed to meet those in authority, and as far as possible get certain facts, and report to the League their findings. The League in its discussion, deemed it time there were some things pertaining to the welfare of our colored citizenry of Kansas City, Kansas, should be known and that at once. A meeting will be called by the president, as soon as the committees are ready, to report. The public is invited and are urged to attend these meetings. WILL PUT ON A CHARITY DRIVE The Chamber of Commerce is planning to put on a charity drive to make up what is known as a "community budget." This budget will be reserved especially for the purpose of making up shortages for all charitable institutions in the city, whose own budgets are insufficient to carry them through the year. Our colored citizens will have an opportunity to help in this drive, both in service and money and we feel sure that there will be no lack of either when the time comes to act, as we have an institution of this character—Douglass hospital, besides many families and individuals who every winter are compelled to seek some charitable relief. This community budget will cut out, or do away with, all the usual charitable tag days. Let every colored person in the city, although it may be a meagre sum, contribute to this drive. Some of us have in time not been so fortunate, and while we live, there is another chance for history to repeat itself. We are known to stand back of every good thing, and our past record in this city in similar drives is sufficient for greater results this time. CATHERINE PLOUGH AND GWINDOLA MILLER, 8. HAVE BIRTHDAY PARTY Gwindola Miller and Cathrine Plough had fifty-two children to help them celebrate their eight birthday, Saturday, October 22, at 817 Everett avenue, the home of Mrs. Plough. The house was beautifully decorated in Hallowe'en style, and many presents were received. Gwindola and Catherine presented each child with a souvenir basket, which was filled with popcorn, candy, cake and other delicacies. All the children departed, full of joy, at 6 o'clock p. m. The funeral of Mr. William Anderson was held Sunday from Mt. Zion Baptist church, Rev. Moses Williams officiating. It was in charge of Stringer Lodge No. 14, Knights of Pythias, Chancellor Commander Duvall presiding. It was largely attended by members of the order and friends.

The colored man, he said, must be given political and economic equality as a matter of justice and national welfare. "Surely we shall gain nothing by blinking at the facts," President Harding said, in bringing up the subject in his main speech at the Birmingham semi-centennial celebration. Political and economic equality, he explained, does not mean social equality. On the other hand he urged that both sides recognize the "absolute divergence in things social and racial." Harding in a rather startling fashion protested against his own party's use of the colored man as a mere political tool and urged the colored men to vote either the Democratic or Republican ticket on the merits of the two parties: The real menace, he warned, lis in forcing political solidarity. The colored man, the president continued, should seek to be "the best possible colored man and not the best possible imitation of a white man." "Racial amalgamation cannot be," he declared. Harding's speech bristled with straight talk on the race question and he warned the South that if it wishes to keep its fields tilled and its industries humming, it must deal fairly PASEO Y. M. C. A.

NOT A POLITICAL PRESIDENT HARDING By Birmingham Celebration, discussion of Race Prob- political Tool—Warns Lies in Forcing parity of Race with the colored man or he will migrate to the North and West where he has greater opportunities. Harding, in a speech to members of the Alabama legislature T. WARREN G. HARDING who called at his hotel, declared he is as much concerned for the welfare of Southern states as he is for the North. "It is my obligation to be president of all states and all sections," Harding said, "and to be concerned, as I am concerned, for the welfare of Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, as for New York, Ohio and Montana." He told the legislators that it is everyone's obligation to give serious consideration to national problems. "And the Democratic party can't rule Alabama if it does not serve Alabama," he added. DR. STEWART WAS THROUGH OUR CITY Dr. Charles Stewart, D.D., of Chicago, and one of the best known men of the county, was in the city Sunday.

TERRELL CABINET WORKS AND REPAIRING CABINET FINISHING A SPECIALEY FLORIDA BANKER SOLVES THE JOB PROBLEM EASILY West Palm Beach, Florida, merchants and farmers of this section of Florida—known the world over mainly as a winter resort—declare there is a now business depression for them and one of the reasons, the chief one is fact, is that T. T. Reese, president of the Farmers' Bank, & Trust company has seen to it that the city's labor is kept busy. The only employment bureau operated by a bank in the United States is what the people of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach will call Mr. Reese's venture. The plan started just after the armistice was signed, Mr. Reese told a representative of the International News: Service: More than 500 men have been placed in positions since the venture began, and it is still in operation. Most of the positions filled were those of stenographers, bookkeepers, cashiers, boat captains, pilots, engineers, cooks, butlers, laudresses, housekeepers, landscaped gardeners, carmakers and mechannes of all kinds. The latter class is in greater demand and keeps the bank in constant touch with the huge number of winter yes- identes in this section, Mr. Reese makes, it all points to personally interview every person placed before that person takes up his new duties, and the record shows that more than three-fourths of the men and women have made good. The figures are accurate, because most of them opened accounts, with the bank. "It is astonishing what a serious impression it makes on a man to be placed in a position through a bank," said Mr. Reese. "We believe here that the free employment bureau, if adopted generally by the banks, will go a long way toward solving employment problems." The employment bureau in reality is an offspring of a previous venture. When the war began to take Mr. Reese's stenographers cashers, tellers and other employees he had to cast about for men to take their places, and he found the market short, so he, established a night school in the bank, and, with himself as one of the instructors, began to give free instruction to young people. Seventy-two young men and women responded to his first call for pupils. Eventually, he, used, up all the material at hand and had taught stenography, 'bookkeeping, typedwriting, to all those available.' Having filled the market with potential workers he employed as many as he could and then started out to find positions, for others. The venture was so successful, that he, resolved to do what he could to find places for others. The night school has been discontinued, but Mr. Reese said he stands ready to renew it if occasion demands. He is a competent telegraph operator, stonegrapher and bookkeeper, professions which he passed during his rise to his present position. A woman carried two $100 bills to the pure food show one night last week in addition to 30 tents. A pick-pocket took the bills and left the woman carafe home, as she lived in Rossdale. As none of the big five pick-pockets present at the show, the police are at a loss whom to suspect. 202 3730 Kansas City is rapidly coming to the front in public enterprises, with the soldier's memorial the new market" the Armourdale bath house and the Argentine community house. The following article was written several years ago. However, the truths should stimulate the "drade for disinimiment" on Armistice Day November 11: "This is to me one of the most tragic things of war, that it is mainly conducted by poor men, who have no animosity in their hearts, except the natural and instinctive upbring" of the brutal and instinct for self-preservation, and the resolve it still rather than be killed. Between these two armies thus com- posed there is far more of common sufferings than there is difference. "The struggles of countries and of armies is largely a class question, the classes of one country who exploit it, using the poor of their country to fight the exploiters of the other country, at the expense of life and limb of the workers and the poor. A true conception of the world, in my opinion, sees a natural fraternity between the poor of all countries, and a natural union of antagonism to the exploiting classes of their own country and the country of the so-called enemy. "And this is the final judgment on war, to which we ought to try and bring, the working classes of all countries, namely, that the workers of one nation are far more allied to the workers of another nation than they are divided by the so-called conflict of material or other interests. I confess myself to all certain sympathetic with those men in France and Germany, who are making war against war, and on these lines, namely, the solidarity of the poor of all countries." "Regard some of our recent wars from this point of view, and how tragically ironic the whole game of war will reveal itself. Take, for instance, the late war between Russia and Japan. In both cases the millions of soldiers were taken for the most part from the poverty-streaked home—in most cases, from the field and the plow. "Consider the Japanese soldier. He came from a little farm or a little shop, or from the streets or big cities where, with the labor of a beast, of burden, he earned the few pence necessary to give a hardful of rice and now and then a bit of poor-class fish to himself and family." "He is a pathetic figure, with his small wants, his fierce struggle for existence. But is he one whit more pathetic than this high-loose-figured stolid and illiterate Russian peasant whom he is killing or who is trying to kill him? "In all the books I have read about Russia—and I read every book about Russiad I can lay hold of—in every Russian work of fiction as of reality the figure that always absorbs my attention is the peasant. With all his illiteracy his, stupidity, narrowness of vision, his weakness, even his vices, he is a touching and winning figure." "I in the workers of Stepniak you will find pictures of the Russian peasant as, after his, wanderings, for work in different parts of his big empire, he sees again the little cottaget in which he was born and where he left his wife and children behind, which it is difficult to read without keen emotion. "And then transform this poor devil to Manchuria, and think of him daily with his vision of his home, and his family haunting him, and imagine him finding no better work in this world than going out to slaughter or to be slaughtered." "And to, slaughter whom? Another, poor peasant, like, himself, different, in language, in color, even in race, but yet a brother far more than an enemy in his hard lot, his oppression, his exploitation and his intense love-of his wife and child. "And see how this ghastly tragedy, of war re-enters after a few days or hours, of truce. In the Franco-German war, you read of how German soldiers, settled for a moment in a, French, town, used to spend their days nursing the babies of their French foes. "In our own South African war you read of moments when the soldiers on both sides exchanged tobacco and little luxuries and friendly conversation with each other. But the burden calls, the regiments fall into line, the ghastly, chice, of war is, once more, put together, and lots these people who but a few moments before had nothing but friendly feelings to each others are tearing each others' limbs disemboweling each other, sending each other to early in agony. Was ever there a contrast as ghastly as so organically, absurd?—T. H. O'Connor. HAIR DRESSING Wash, do, hair, straightening, scalp cleaning and hair cleaning. Prices 25, 35 and 50 cents.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC =Paul Attacked by a Jewish Mob. I. Paul's:Arrestr:(21;18-40). The immediate occasion of this was his effort to remove the prejudice which certain ones held, against him. His reception, by representatives of the church, was most cordial. In order that all the brethren in Jerusalem might, graciously receive him, it was proposed to him, by the elders that he take a Jewish, vow to prove that he was in no way opposed to the law, they recognized that such an act would in no way compromise, on involve the Gentile, brethren... As, to how far this act conciliated the Jews we are not told, but it only enraged the unbelieving Jews, enusing them to resort to mofh law, These amdapender, Jews, on the basis of a supposition, selged him and dragged him from the temple and beat him mercilessly, intending to put him to death. Paul was rescued from the mob by the Roman guard, stationed nearby. Paul kept, himself under control and politely asked permission of the captain to speak to the people. When he addressed him in Greek and quoted his Roman citizenship, the captain granted his request. 1. His claim for a rightful hearing (vv. 1-3). (1) His birth (v. 3). He was a Jew born in Tarsus, a city, no mean reputation. (2) His education (v. 3). He was educated in school under the tutorship of Camaliel, and instructed "according to the perfect manner of the fathers" (v. 3). His zeal (v. 3). He was as zealous toward God as those Jews who were trying to destroy him. 2. His attitude toward Jesus (vv. 4, 5). I perseptended this way into the death—it was, one of hatred, as was that of the Jews. 3. How his attitude was changed (vv. G-10). It was—brought about by the intervention of God. 4. The Lord commissioned him to go to the Gentiles (vv. 17-21). It was not of his own will that he preached to the Gentiles, but by the Lord's direct commission. III. Paul Before the Sanhedrin (23: 1-10). The Roman officers in order to learn why Paul was arrested, commanded the chief council to assemble, and brought Paul before them. Forceful.

Some four months ago I was called in attorney in a case where the Missouri Pacific Railroad company had assumed the switching service on the Kansas City Northwestern terminals, which extend from Third street west to the city limits. F. F. Breewood operates a coal yard at Twenty-seventh street and Northwestern tracks and the Missouri Hudson had maintained the switching service there for two years and was receiving $7.00 per car for switching, dividing this with the Kansas City Northwestern railway. Breewood contracted for 38 cars of coal about June 1st to be delivered at Twenty-seventh street and Northwestern railway, said coal to cost $2.16 in July, $3.00 in August and $3.25 in September loaded at the mine. About June 15 the Missouri Pcific concludes that they could get $7.00 per car if they left the coal at Seventeenth street just as well as $7.00 at Twenty-seventh street. So without notice and without orders from the utilities boat and directly in violation of the state law they abandoned the service, claiming bridge No. 10 was unsafe and condemned. We had an experienced bridge man inspect the said bridge, and he reported it safe. Now the legislature of Kansas appropriated $22,000,000 of the 1,700,000 people of Kansas at the last session, while the Missouri legislature with twice as many people, 3,400,000 only appropriated $23,000,000. But four months ago the question of service by the Missouri Pacific at Twenty-seventh and Kansas City Northwestern tracks was taken up with the public utilities board and all we have ever been able to get was procrastination, side-stepping and passing the buck. So the people my see what, service, we get, for our money. We pay about 40 clerks for this body, yet every letter we get from them, the board, is either in Washington, D.C., or on a vacation. The result is that, the people of the Western portion of Kansas City, Kansas, have been deprived of the privilege of buying 38 cars of coal this fall at from $6.00 to $8.00 per ton, and this winter when they get the coal up to about $12 or $14 per ton we expect to see Mr. Allen and his industrial court blaming Alex Howat and the dealers, while the fault lies in Mr. Allen himself and his utilities board and industrial court. Since the utilities board can be so easily hindered and stir, Allen is too busy making speeches to stay in. Topeka and attend to business and the public is left at the mercy of the Missouri Pacific Railroad company, the said road recently raised rates on their road to 2½ cents per hundred, so at present it costs $25.00 to get a car set in Kansas City. This is not just a dream, for we have a bona fide contract to show it is facts and the evidence to show the incompetency of the boards in Topeka. H. M. PERKINS, 3138 Haskell Avenue.

His heart is large enough to hold all his people in Kansas and then there is room enough for others. Hy.

This was indeed a blow to Dr. Ransom, and I am informed that soon he is to take unto himself a comanion.

It Is His office to reveal Christ to our hearts at all _| times, None but the Holy Spirit can "| do this for us and we must constantly rely upon Hin to fulfill the purpose for which He was given. “When He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will gulde you into all truth, for He shall "| not speak of Himself; but whatsoever >| tte shall hear that shall He speak: | and He will show you things to come, *| We shall glorify me; for He shull re [| celve of mine and shall show It_unto you, All things that, the Father hath , | are wine: therefore said 1, that He shall take of mine and shall show it *} unto you."—John 16:13-15. The second requirgment Is media tion on the word of God. The on}; way the Holy Spirit can perform Hl work ts through the Word. The reasor | why we know so little concerning Christ is because we spend so littl tlme over the Bible, ‘The only me dium the Holy Splrit employs to re veal Christ to the walting heart Is th ©! scriptures. “Search the Scriptures for In them ye think ye have eterna life; and they are they which testif; of me."—Jolin 5:39. Nowhere els "1 yut in the Bible ts found the ful °| revelation of Christ, and no one els t | but the Holy Spirit can show Him unt lus, We need therefore before ull els "| to be in dally meditation upon th 4] Word, in full reliance upon the Hol | Spirit to take of the things of Chris . and show them unto us. _ d Two Results. From the above program the first r suit will be a growing likeness t Christ, As we meditate upon the Wor i- | from day to day there will come to vu n | an Increasing desire to know more ¢ t. | Christ, ‘Chis desire the Holy Spir will satisfy and with the satisfactlo S- | will come, perhaps ali unconscious n | to ourselves, an increasing transform: Tr. | tlon into the character of the Lor se | Jesus, There will be need df muc patience, but the result is sure. “V\ all with open face beholding as In glass the glory of the Lord, ai 10 | changed {nto the same Image fro glory to glory, even as by the Spirit. .” | the Lord.”"—II Cor, 3:18, M-} ‘The second result will be the tran 1S } ¢ormation of our service Into som thing akin to that which Jesus Hit self rendered. With our restlessne gone, our powerlessness exchanged f se | His atrength, with full ‘rellance up ne | he Holy Spirit, and with our dai ie, meditation upon the Word, there’ w come to ys a new ablilty beyond ar thing we ever knew, and the serv! which perchance had become Irkso1 , |7#lL_be turned” into a Joyous dell wbove uli other, thiigs our hearts fad pleasure in, We will go forth not merely with the desire to“serve, but with a quiet confidence of having the power to serve acceptably, and we will fulfill oar Lord’s purpose for us when he sald: “Ye have’ not chosen ime, but ‘I have chdsen you and or- dained you that ye should go and bring forth fruit and that your frult should remain.”"—John 15:16. | God’s Mercy.
