KANSAS WHAT HAS THIS YEAR MEANT TO YOU? WAHT HAVE YOU DONE TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY OR MISERABLE? Volume VIII Temple, Texas.—The year is about to close, and Christmas is just over the fence. Before you can read by letter and digest it good you will mail me a Christmas present to 5922 Aberdeen street, Chicago, and I will be looking at it, and then I will look back over the past year and see what there is in store for me, and what I may expect of the future. I spoke of the future, and that is not mine, for I may be called on at any time to join those of my friends who have gone on ahead of me to prepare the way, and will be waiting to receive me when I cross over. There are many friends who have gone on ahead of me. Some have gone by the natural way, and others have been forced to go by bullets and other ways. What has this year meant to you? How many conflicts have you had? What have you done to make others happy? What have you said to make some one miserable? Have you added any to the happiness of your fellow being? Have you cussed any? Have you prayed any? When you were insulted by some one, or your tender feelings tramped on, what did you say? Were you strong enough to look up and say "Father forgive them, they know not what they do?" Did you look hades, damn, fires and all them other kindred cuss words? What I ask you I am asking myself I have that old-time religion and we have gotten along well together. I have not given it any trouble and it has not given me any. At times when I have read of the burning of human beings at the stake, the shooting down of men, and all because they were born on the dark of the moon and got a good deal of the dark good mixed in them, and then when I have heard members of my race, and some of the way-ups too, calling each other "niggers." I just had to say some few things which were not in keeping with what you learned in Sunday school, or what the preacher would repeat from the pulpit, but immediately I have sought forgiveness, and I think the Lord heard my prayers, so that if I should be snatched away now, I would be ripe for the kingdom. It is almost enough to make an angel "cuss" to see how some men take unto themselves superiority, and they haven't sense enough to get out of the rain, and the only thing that they have is a light, muddy skin. God never used skin to make a man, and I wish this one lesson could be learned the world over. There is a man with a white skin, and almost brainless — all his brains would not fill a thimble, yet he boasts of being superior, because of his color. He cries for white supremacy, based on race. The thing that is most needed in America is trained minds—minds tuned in harmony with God, and then there will be no trouble. All will be well. I am willing at all times to take off my hat to the man who can render superior service to humanity. I look upon him as my superior. God knows I am telling the truth. I have spend several weeks with the superior man, and the superior woman, because of the service they are rendering. I have been with Bishop and Mrs. William Decker Johnson, and they have furnished me with much inspiration and joy. They have made me see more beauty in this flower garden of ours, this race. They have walked together for thirty years and declare that they are not tired yet. He has started from the gutter, so to speak, and step by step, he has gone to the top, until now he is right on top. Each step, he has been willing to pay the cost. He has been a student, not in any university or college, but he has kept company with the greatest men and women this world has ever known. He has made the best thinkers his companions by day and night. Bishop Johnson put himself where God could find him, and where God could use him. As sexton, he was the best, as ex- (Concluded on Page Eight) -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 COL. CHAS. SLAUGHTER Some twenty-two years ago, one who was much younger in years, that he is today, came to Kansas City, Kansas, from our neighboring state, Missouri, and the town of Liberty, County of Clay, Mr. Charles Slaughter. Mr. Slaughter, born with commercial aspirations and having a small taste of it in his home town, he immediately launched into business in this city, locating practically in the same place where he now is, 1315 North Ninth street, known far and near, as Slaughter's Place. In starting his business of which was confectionery, ice cream parlor and a few notions, was quite small, owing to his capital, but time, with close business tact, soon found Mr. Slaughter widening out and few more years found Slaughter's Place a commodious structure, with his sole owner. Next we find this once small confectioner putting in an ice cream plant of his own, and instead of buying his ice cream or making it in small batches to retail out over his tables, he becomes a wholesaler and for many years has been the only wholesaler of the race in the city. His cream is used all over the city and during the summer season shipments are made out of the city to some distance. The Slaughter building, in which his now large and beautiful store is located in, his ice cream plant, with a hall on the second floor, which is occupied nearly night and day, makes it a very valuable piece of real estate, besides the location is the best on this street, it being right opposite the Sumner High school and the Douglass graded school, which is the largest in point of attendance in the city. Colonel Slaughter, as he is familiarly known, he being quite a fraternal man and a member of the Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias, being on the Brigadier General's staff of the State, as his Assistant Adjutant General, he is always a conspicuous character at all Supreme Encampments. Colonel Slaughter has plenty of civic pride and is always found to be ready to assist and take hold of anything that is for the uplift of the race and the betterment of the city. He has been president of the Children's Orphan Home for several years and he with his board of directors are planning to build a new home next year. We did not mention of the many other valuable pieces of real estate Mr. Slaughter owned—outside of the place of his business building—in this one block and around in the next block. he can point to his holdings. Mr. Slaughter has a bright, intelligent business wife, who is thoroughly conversant with the business and exceedingly courteous in serving the public. Mrs. Slaughter is greatly missed when having to be out of the store. The race and community at large, look upon Mr. Slaughter and can point to him, with pride, as one of our successful business men and worthy citizens. BRONCHIAL ASTHMA CURED Bronchial Asthma.

(Special to Advocate) (Special to Advocate) Shorter Hall at Wilberforce University, around which center the beginnings of the Negro race in its strivings for educational advantages; and hopes of the race for better things and out from whose walls have gone so many of the men and women who have done and are doing so much in a worthwhile way for the establishment of the Negro as a very vital force in the affairs of the Nation, was completely destroyed by fire, Wednesday night, December 7th. From an investigation on the part of the authorities at the University, and also on the part of the State Fire Marshal's Office it appears that the fire must have started from defective wiring in the attic of the north wing of the building. The fire was discovered by students who were returning to the building from the weekly prayer service which was conducted at Galloway Hall, at the other side of the campus. President J. A. Gregg, who conducted the prayer meeting, and Secretary Jenkins, who lives directly across from the building, were the first officials in the building after the alarm was sounded. They directed the few boys who were already striving to put out the fire. They were soon joined by Superintendent Berry, Bishop J. H. Jones, Dean Jones, W. A. Anderson and other members of the faculty and friends from the neighborhood. Had there been adequate fire fighting apparatus at hand the building might have been saved. Appeals for help were sent to nearby towns but none would respond, and the authorities at Xenia, the nearest town, when called upon, refused to come. Everything possible was done to save the building, and when it finally became certain that it was doomed, the boys were directed to save whatever they could. Very little was salvaged, however, which left a total loss of several thousand dollars, and two hundred boys without homes, and many of them without clothing. Superintendent Berry and Dean Woodson very generously threw open the doors of their departments and a committee called by President Gregg, including Bishop Jones and the heads of departments, was able to plan on the housing of students and the care of the College Department, whose class rooms were on the first floor of Shorter. Mr. H. E. Schmidt of Xenia, was instrumental in getting Governor Davis to send one hundred cots and two hundred blankets to President Gregg. to be distributed to the young men whose bedding was lost in the conflagration. The local Red Cross unit, under Miss Schaeffer has offered aid, and the people generally are doing all possible to care for the wants of the young men. President Gregg and Dean Jones, together with the office forces of both the University and C. N. & I. Departments have been busy in placing the boys in comfortable homes. At the Chapel exercises the next morning. President Gregg spoke feelingly of the great loss, and called upon the faculty and students to show fortitude and bravery in the face of the fearful disaster. Bishop Jones assured the faculty and students that the loss although staggering, was not altogether discouraging and that steps would be taken to immediately rebuild and take care of the situation. Miss Hallie Q. Brown spoke touchingly on the passing of Shorter Hall, which meant so much in the hopes and aspirations of men and women scattered throughout the world. Chaplain Stewart offered the first one hundred dollars toward the rebuilding of the edifice, and he was quickly followed by a promise of five hundred dollars from Bishop Jones, a hundred dollars each from President Gregg and Dean Jones, and Miss Hallie Q. Brown, who went to England and secured over fifteen thousand dollars on Emery Hall, promised to raise one thousand dollars toward the fund.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. SHORTER HALL BURNS We regretted very much to receive a message from our alma mater, Wilberforce University, Ohio, that its main and oldest building, Shorter Hall, was destroyed by fire last Wednesday night, December, the 7th. This is the second building to be destroyed by fire on this same site—the other one burned, during the Presidency of Bishop Daniel A. Payne and it occured on the night that President Lincoln was assassinated. Plans have already been laid, by President J. A. Gregg and the presiding bishop, Dr. Joshua Jones, for the erection of a greater and grander Shorter Hall. We feel sure, with the great men and noble women, at and around Wilberforce, with their zeal and christian fortitude, its alumnus with its multitude of friends, will not rest until this sacred spot of ground, will have erected upon it for the third time, a building of greater magnitude and usefulness. We can unreservedly speak for the Wilberforcians in the West of doing their bit in being a part, and good part, in now, where ashes and crumbled brick walls stand tottering to the sightly gaze of its faculty and student body, in the erection of dear old Shurter Hall. You know our sympathy and prayers are with you, but money, is what is most needed now. GROSSMAN'S DRY GOODS COMPANY The Grossman Dry Goods Company at 638-640 Minnesota avenue, probably carry the largest stock and highest quality of goods of any like merchant in Kansas City, Kansas. This store has but a small few who enter the store and go away dissatisfied. This store has two things that will always bring a customer back—the first one is, quality, the second is service. Both of these fundamentals are found in the Grossman Dry Goods Company. As to their Christmas stock, Mr. Grossman says: "We have the largest and most complete stock for the holiday trade, we ever had in our house, besides we bought in such quantities that we are able to sell much cheaper than we have for some years." As this store's watchword is "Meet Me at Grossman's" it is certainly being carried out, as one can see hundreds meeting there daily for their Christmas shopping. HEAR Bishop S. C.

CHURCH NEWS The pleasant, beautiful Sabbath of the 11th inst, brought out a large concourse of members and church goers to First, church. While it was quarterly meeting occasion, the large gathering was not unusual for Sunday morning service. The presiding elder, Rev. A. C. Terrell delivered a sermon of unusual power—one penitent heart coming into the fold. At 3 p. m. Rev. B. G. Dawson, the strong and popular pastor of Bethel church, Kansas City, Mo., preached the communion sermon, which reached the souls of his appreciative audience. Dr. Dawson is a wonderful preacher and has but few equals in the pulpit. His most singiest choir accompanied their pastor and rendered the music, of which lifted all present. The presiding elder filled the pulpit at the evening service with fresh vigor and with a sermon of even greater power than in the morning—with others joining the church. Quarterly conference was held Monday night, Dr. Terrell presiding. The reports for the quarter were the largest since the coming of the church's great leader, Rev. J. F. Griffin. The reports read from most every department of the church, spoke of the great leadership and Christian character of Doctor Griffin and how thankful they were of his return to us; also the return of the presiding elder, Dr.Terrell, were commended. The Junior Allen League made their first report since its organization, of which showed an excellent work had been done by the coming church. The Sabbath school was largely attended Sunday and many new scholars were reported in the report of classes. The Junior Missionary society's report, at the quarterly conference, was very good. The pastor will continue his series of sermons this Sunday, closing them the last Sabbath in this month. Come out and hear the balance of these grand sermons. Argentine, Kansas St. Paul A. M.

That place is the Princess Theater, Third street and Parallel avenue. This movie is owned and operated by a white man. It was put up by white labor from its foundation to its completion and the Negroes of this city are pouring in the pockets of this white man thousands of dollars weekly and they receive not in return enough to pay a decent night's lodging. About the time this movie was on foot to be built, a colored man of Kansas City, Kansas—not of Missouri—had, as he supposed, The Kansas City Advocate, December 16, 1921 everything ready to build a picture house on North Fifth street, when all at once he was told that no permit could be issued to him to erect a house of this kind—but with hundreds of the best and leading citizens in this community, where this theatre is being run, signed petitions against the permission of a building permit. It was granted built and has been paid for time and again by the colored people of the city. Just sit down around your fireside and talk it over. THE CITIZEN AND THE COMMUNITY. We are living in an age of opportunities, and it should be the aim of every well thinking person to live in such a way as to raise the standard of citizenship in the community in which they live. There are many of our group that are not rising up to meet the opportunities that come to them daily, which after they have once passed, can never be recalled. It is a sad thing to think tomorrow, of what we might have done yesterday; so let us be awake to the possibilities of today's task, and do well the things that fall to our lot for accomplishment. The community life is made better or worse, according to the constructive effort that we put into it, or the things that we might do to lower the standard. The progressive citizen will work first, to raise the standard of Christianity in the home, by the proper observance of the prescribed laws of our Heavenly Father; he will faithfully and willingly work to the end to make the support of a live church possible. He will use his influence to the end that an adequate school system be built up that will meet the needs of the community. He will encourage every movement that is a stimulus to progress. One of the most serious shortcomings of our group, is the failure to interpret as we should, race loyalty. But loyalty, to accomplish what it ought, must be reciprocal; while we must patronize business enterprise of the race, to build up our people, we have come to the place now where the man on the business end must give the same service as the other fellow if he wants the trade. We have progressed now to the point where we pay enough taxes to have occasional representation through the elective franchise, and there is no reason why in each county we should not have members of our group in elective positions. Our government is not, as a great many think, "without consent," as applied to our group, but the greatest fault is within ourselves. In many instances where those of our group have failed in the nomination and election to office, it has been because members of the race have withheld their strength. It is possible for us to accomplish the same as other people, but it can only be done by pooling our strength in a way that will make things count. We must consider these matters, and as the time comes to hand, let us as a people looking forward to the progress of better things bring the right man to the front. This matter of success of any people is to be found in that "other commandment" that our Lord spoke of, "that thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself," which is only another meaning that we shall labor to put into our lives the best at all times.—Dennis S. Thompson. Houses For Rent—9-room house, half modern; 6-room house, strictly modern. Both close to two car lines. Call Fairfax 0767. GUY J.

It 's worth while, for our readers of this issue and we might say this page especially, to carefully read and reflect on every kind of business that appears on it. Now you may not know in person every business firm, who carries space on this page, but we are proud and we know you will be as much, when we tell you, every advertiser that you see, large and small, are owned and operated by colored men and women. It's a fact, although we have not allowed our minds to believe, but the race is really learning to do business and make it pay. We have here on Third street from Minnesota avenue north to Greeley avenue, both men and women, whose stores compare, in size, stock, looks and management as the average place of like business off the avenue. And as to their credit, they stand equal to the best. You will find a large per cent of these merchants owning their own business property and others are buying. In this particular part of the city, which is known, as the Seeond ward, the colored people, in the past five years have shown a remarkable change in confidence in each other and especially in patronizing their own stores, so much so, that there are only a few of other race business places remaining on this street, and some of them are not doing the business they did a few years ago. This is accounted for, as the race is dealing with their own, where they have found they can buy as cheap and as good a quality of goods and in most instances, get better service. It's not far in the distance when this street will be controlled entirely by the colored people. It is now fast developing the commercial center of the race in the city. Third street and Second ward are setting the pace for business enterprises in the city. This street and community also can boast of having some of the most modern homes in the city and are well kept and furnished. These energetic business men and women and in fact this entire community, are to be congratulated on the progress they have made in the past few years along all lines. The Advocate is always at your service to boost you in any way possible.—Editor. Mrs. Thompson on Freeman between Ninth and Tenth, has been very sick, but was able to be at church Sunday.

And our Editor and Owner, Mr. Thomas Kennedy. Found so many good subscribers. He was busy as could be. From the first he was successful But too much work did abhor. He, Professor Gregg appointed First Associate Editor. After six years he then left us And he went away so far, Then our Mr. Kupper was made The Associate Editor. Also, when he sent first issues, And had everything in trim, He found Mrs. Margaret Matthews Had wrote for it, before him, Found she is the only woman Whose poems have found a place With the Presidents and Governors She's received congratulations And has gained much honor due From all races, and read papers In Caucasian churches, too. And so he could help his paper. Being a good creditor. He at once made this bold writer His Society Editor. Tho she writes for other dailys And for it gets many cheers. She has not missed one week writ- ing For this paper, seven years. Editor for Circulation. Mrs Hall was first by lot. But she left and married. and And our paper still is running, Writing ads and news that cheers: Has two thousand good subscribers. And will live for many years. If you want your news on Friday, Before other papers come; Pay the fee to a staff member And subscribe for this at home. If you have home pride and pity, If you'd hear news of our state, If you wish news of our city. You should take the Advocate. —MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS. SOME NICE BUSINESS ENTERPRISES ON FIFTH ST. It has been very noticeable in the past few years the growth and progress our colored business houses have grown in number and magnitude along North Fifth street, from 1101 to the 2700 block. On this page under the head of Fifth street, we give a number of these business places, which are the largest and most prominent that are being operated by our people. One will find on this street some very valuable business buildings, owned by colored holders. In these buildings you will find business of various kinds owned, managed and operated, as skillful and businesslike way, as can be found. We find on this street men and women who have only been in business for a short period, commercially speaking, and who started with a small capital, but whose business has developed to a large, healthy, paying enterprise. It is with some degree of encouragement to those who launched out in the commercial world, to realize from experience, the race is becoming more clannish, in their buying—this alone has greatly encouraged the colored merchant to have sticktuitiveness in whatever line of business they have taken up. This street can boast of one office building, where five professional men of the race have well equipped offices on the second floor. Every day and most any time in the day, until quite late in the evening this business thoroughfare is filled with the traveling public and commercial salesmen. It's one busy street. In the fifteen and sixteen hundred blocks, all the best and largest brick buildings are owned by colored men and it will not be so long until they will extend their holdings, two or three blocks further north and which could be used and occupied payingly. XMAS FESTIVITIES. The Xmas festivities of the First A. M. E. Church will begin next Sunday evening at 7 o'clock, December 18. The Junior Endeavor is going to put on one of the best musical programs ever witnessed in the First Church. The principal feature of the program will be a recital by Mr. Jackson Truitt of Western University. Mr. Truitt is indeed an accomplished young man with rare musical ability. As you listen to his enchanting baritone melodies, your soul is touched. The cares of life are forgotten and all that is immortal seems wafted away to realms of joy and peace. You cannot afford to miss this treat; everybody is invited. You are requested to bring a Silver Offering. The proceeds are to help Mr. Truitt through school and to buy Xmas joys for the children of the Junior Endeavor. (Come early and get a good seat. Supt. SOME OF METROPOLITAN CAPTAINS. Captains called by Dr. E. L. Harrison to help get the church roll straightened out as follows: Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Mesdames Hulsoy, L. Stovall, I. Thomas, U. S. Rogers, I. U. Brown, M. Hill, M.

Thompson and more names we will mention later. FIRST BAPTIST B. Y. P. U. Mr. Furze, of West Indies, had a long program for his group of B. Y. P. U. last Sunday. There were many vocal and instrumental solos and some recitations. The most appropriate features on program, were the Bible lesson by Mr. H. Mobily, a paper called "Pen Points (of Doing God's Word)" by a member of First Baptist and a paper and original poem on "The Importance of Bible Reading" by Mrs. M. C.

Sunday morning at the exercises of the Sunday Forun. Congressman Little has been a leading spirit in the recent strus- gle in Congress to see that the big fortunes paid taxes in aceardanee with their wealth. The very rich made a terrific effort to keep their sur-taxes down to 32% on ineames of a million, but Con- gress fixed them at 50%. Dur- ing the great debate on that gub- ject, Colonel Little opened the de- bate for those who believe in the 50% sur-tax on the rich, and his speech drew the fire of those who believe that the rich should not pay such tax, but the house voted 201 to 173 in favor of the plan advocated by our Congressman. This makes it easy for Consress The Kansas City Advocate, December 16, 1921 * to reduce the taxes on a man of small means, His fight, of course, for the interests of« the average man will bring the opposition of some of the very rich, but there are not very many of them in this eommunity and it is fortunate for us that we have a Congressman who is never afraid to do what is right, and stand up for the inter- ests of the ordinary people. Kan- sas City, Kansas, has become so Well acquainted with its Con- gressman that he now enjoys the highest confidence of the peoples and will be given another term in Congress without a doubt. Congressman Little received word from Mrs. Little Sunday that a vote would be had on Fri- day next on the Anti-Lynching Bill, and left at once for Wash- ington to take part in that strug- gle in favor of that bill and the square deal for colored men in the South. He said “before leav- ing: ‘‘I think that the bill has a splendid chance of passing and it will do a lot of good if it does.” Congressman Little has been actively supporting the Resolu- tion of Congressman Tinkham. This provides for a thorough in- vestigation of the methods of vot- ing in the Southern States by which colored men are deprived of their votes. The plan is to get their votes for them or eut down the number of the Southern Con- gressmen, so that they won’t have any more votes in Congress than they would be entitled to have by the number of votes they have at home, This would force them to give the black man a vote and a square deal. Colonel Little was one of the 47 Con- gressmen who voted for that Res- olution the last time it was up. He was the only Kansas Congress- man who voted for it, His staunch fight for the rights of colored ‘Republicans has drawn favorable spiemia from all over the United States, CITIZENS’ FORUM | The best program of the year. specially the choruses and the petunber of enreaves, was rendered, Sunday, Deeember 11, Miss T. Smothers and Miss Mickey se- eured the talent. The Publieity Committee advertised it well in ‘the Advocate and on the Metro- | politan boards and Sumner high school was used on account of the stage. fis auditorium was | packed, but about 1,000 more jcould have enjoyed the program if it had been in Metropolitan Temple. Professor Reynolds led | the audience in singing ‘Amer. fica,” Chaplain Calhoun prayed, sand President Curry opened the quotations. Attorney Shackle- ford and Miss D. Whitfield gave useful enrrent events. Mme, Os- borne, teacher of the dramatic class, was introdueed by Miss Mickey: then she introdueed Dr. Radford, direetor of Ebenezer choir, and Miss Morrill, the pian- ist. Ebenezer choir sang finer than any choir the writer has rheard for many years and sang classical numbers, "Tis the Wedding Morn,’ was encored. | Reading, ‘Leah, the Forsaken,” by Miss C. Wilson, was a good ef: fort. The nine male singers in “My Old Kentucky Home”? made such sweet harmony they capti- vated the audience, and were en- coved twice. Reading, ‘The Po- lish Boy,’’ by Mrs. N. Lovett, was good (and reminded the writer of when she recited that in school) ; Chorus, “To the Holy One,” was Very profound and of a high | class; “Senorita,” by Zingarina, arrayed as a Spanish girl, was the finest reading of all; Chorus, **The Italian Love Song,’? was fine and was another classic. Prof. J. P. King asked for the collection and Mr. Berry, near Fighth and Nebraska gave the first dollar. The total collection was $15. The final number was a sketch (or playlet), “College Life,”’ which was a very humor- ous and enjoyable rendition and applauded by the crowded audi- ence very vociferously. The last program of President Curry’s and his officers’ regime was a wonderful suceess, due to Misses Smothers and Mickey and all who helped advertise it. The Forum thanked Mme. Osborne and her | singers and Dramatie Club. Next Sunday, December 18, they will meet again in Metropolitan Temple. Electa Chapter elected officers Monday as ‘follows: Mrs. M, Hill, matron; Mrs. P. Bryant, associate matron; Mrs. B. Wash- ington, secretary, and Mrs. Drake Swannigan, treasurer. Other officers are appointive. ER. Mr, Roy Boone came in off his run Tuesday. + .

KANSAS INDUSTRIAL INSTI- TUITE WIN WESTERN CHAMFIONSHIP. Lincoln Stadium, Jefferson City, Mo., December 3.—The Kan- sas Industrial & Educational In- stitute football team came over from the Sunflower State today and defeated the Lincoln Univer- sity team 7 ta 0. Yielding to su- perior power and skill in the fun- damental principles of football, the University’s Big Blue eleven succumbed and a season of here- tofore unbroken suecesses for the Blue and White elosed with de- feat, while the Industrial Justi- tute. on the other hand, main- tained its string of vietories un- broken, Measured in points, the Lnsti- tnte team, conquerors of every eleven they have encountered in the West, were one touchdown hetter than the University team, who, although fought with char- acteristic spirit right up to the Jast whistle, were unable to fathom the Institute's attack and the fast backs of the Sunflower team gained almost at will, using a varied attack. The Institute manifested its superior strength as soon as the whistle starting the contest sounded. Harrison kieked to the Voiversity and from then on the Blue and White fonght close to their own goal until late in the fowrth quarter they- recovered a j punt on their own forty-yard Jine this being the farthest from [their goal they had had the ball during the game." | The Institute running attaek in the third quarter, was the prime faetor in the result. Stevenson, Burton, Tucker and Saunders starred in carrying the ball, A long drive down the field in the early moments of the third quar- ter enabled Saunders to score the touchdown that won the ‘ame. Stevenson kicked oad. For Lincoln, Douglas. Brooks and Pearline starred; for the Tn- stitute, Stevenson, Burton, |Tueker, Saunders, Harrison, Smith and Warrior, starred. | The game was played on a field eovered with three inehes of snow; however, a good size crowd was present.

ATTORNEY SURELY A WONDER But Old Darky's Admiration Must Have Been Embarrassing Under the Circumstances. In Alabama they tell of a prosecuting attorney who was so uniformly successful with his cases that he became both the terror of evil-doers in the vicinity and the admiration of all, especially the dusky portion of the population. Upon his withdrawal from office he was at once sought out by those charged with crime. Much to his disgust, the first two cases that he defended resulted in the conviction of his clients. An aged darky, named Joe Clinton, who had watched his prosecutions with wonder and who looked with equal amazement now he conducted the defense, met the attorney just after his second defeat. "Mistah Cul," said the old chap, in awed tones, "yo' shore is a wonder. No matter which side you is on, they goes to the pen jest the same."—Milwaukee Sentinel. CHOICE BETWEEN TWO LOVES Can One Wonder That Malvina Turtledove Hesitated When It Came to a Showdown? Malvina Turtledove weeped bitterly. Those dear, bright blue eyes were in danger of being washed clearer and bluer still. She was in love! Then she dressed hurriedly, in preparation for Jack's expected visit. Promptly at eight he arrived. "Jack," she breathed. "I am so worried." "My pet, my angel, what is it?" asked Jack, in great concern. "I have got to give one of you up and I don't know which I love best. Can't I—" the madden wept. "No!" returned Jack, determinedly. "You must choose between us—he or I!" "Jack," she wept, "show me some mercy!" But he showed her none, and so, with a last touch of love, Malvina threw her Ponçaman.

On the Other Hand. The late Edgar Saltus, the brilliant and satirical novelist, said one day at a New York wedding breakfast, where the bridegroom was a millionaire of forty-five: "Our Rockefellerers and Schwabs and Russell Sages married in their first youth. Well, our successful men don't marry now as early as they used to, but, on the other hand—" And Mr. Saltus looked round the table with a bland smile. "On the other hand, they marry offener." "My own!" he exclaimed, as they were starting on their wedding journey. "Does it make you happy to know that you are mine—all mine—forever?" "Yes, it makes me awfully happy," she replied. "Now I can eat candy without being afraid of getting fat, and have a charge account and everything, can't I?" Did She Admit It?

The Kansas City Advocate, December 16, 1921 No Amount of Vigilance Is Able to Prevent Prisoners Communicat ing With Each Other. Old jailbirds can defy the vigilance of all the warders in Europe. With months half open they can speak to a companion hard by with absolute impunity, the lips and lower jaws never even being moved. If the companion fails to hear, he indicates the fact by putting his finger into one ear as though it were itching. Their dumb alphabet is marvelously complete. A prisoner wants to say that someone is dead. He spells the name on his fingers, then rests his head upon his hands and stamps on the ground—so loud so is dead and buried. Someone is imprisoned for so many years, and this is conveyed from one place to another by a finger across his ear—the man has got, say, three "ear;" for months a similar sign is made on the mouth. Coughs and sneezes of different kinds indicate all manner of distinct things. On well-known cough means "listen." The prisoner who gives it has received a letter; he looks at the palm of one hand, and pretends to scribble with the other. INNOCENT CALLED FIRST POPE Why the Successor of Anastasius Has the Best Right to Be So Considered Concerning the first pope of the Roman Catholic church, W. Ernest Beet in his "Rise of the Papacy," says: "In the year 402 Anastasius died, and was succeeded by Innocent L. upon whose mind appears first distinctly to have dawned the vast conception of Rome's universal ecclesiastical supremacy, thm as yet and shadowy, yet full and comprehensive in its outline; his claims were indeed such, and so far made good, as to justify us in applying to him the title of pope, the earliest Roman bishop that can with propriety be so called. "The position of high authority to which he attained was, no doubt, in part achieved by Innocent's own high moral qualities and strength of will, but not by any means entirely so; circumstances were entirely in his favor, and the course of public events was such as inevitably to strengthen the seat of the bishop by undermining the throne of the ear, and by driving him from the ancient imperial capital." The Marksman. Kermit Rosevelt, who has eight black-maned lions to his credit, was talking at an Oyster Bay luncheon about marksmanship. "My friend Bang," he said, "is a fine shot. The other evening a chicken was required for dinner, and Bang volunteered to go out into the barnyard and shoot it. "Well, he'd appeared with his gun, and soon a shot was heard, then another, then three or four shots in rapid succession. But Bang didn't return with the chicken. "So little Willie was sent out to see what the trouble was. Several more shots sounded during his absence, finally he came back." "Well, his mother said impatiently, hasn't papa shot that chicken yet?" "No," said Willie. "It won't get in the way." "Why were you not suspicions of that thief who grabbed a tray of diamonds and darted out of the door?" "He disarmed suspicion," said the jeweler. "Yes?" "He said he wanted to look at some engagement rings, and the fellow acted the part so well he actually stunnered and turned red."—Birmingham Age-Herald. Real Dilemma. Parker—What's 'wrong?

Then both together smiled and said, "Ah! that's multiplication." Then dad appeared upon the scene and made a quick decision. He kicked the teacher down the stairs and yelled, "That's long division."

December 11th, a beautiful winter Sabbath day, a large congregation attended Metropolitan Baptist temple, to welcome their pastor, on being restored to health, and to hear Dr. Prince of St. Joe, our ex-pastor, preach. Dr. Prince is also a fine preacher and a spiritual moral man. He preached on the subject "Companionship of Christ," from Matt. 11:29 In substance he said, "We must become more like Jesus; must talk to Him in prayer, and let Him talk to us by reading His Bible. The biggest thing is spirituality. The Caucasians are trying to get their people to be more spiritual and give vent to it audibly." Dr. Harrison led the beautiful hymn, "Amazing Grace," at the close of the wonderful sermon, while many were shouting and praising God. A third boquet, consisting of pink chrysanthemums, roses, ferns, etc., was sent to Pastor Harrison. He has received more flowers than any minister in the community. At 8 p. m. Dr. C. L. Holly preached to a good congregation as Dr. Prince was compelled to return to his flock at night, as he is en route to Metropolis, Iowa, to hold a series of meetings. Dr. Harrison is arranging a rally for January 16, to get pews for this magnificent church; also we hope to change our lights and put in hardwood floors later on. He wrote his Texas friends that his flock in Kansas were not letting him suffer for a single necessity. He thanked the officers and members for their care of him while he was bedfast. Next Sunday, Dec. 18 he expects to preach. Come and hear this moral preacher thunder like Paul did from Mars hill. The collection was near the $100 mark.

Our Congressman, Colonel Little spent the time between the two sessions of Congress at home getting in touch with the needs of his constituents. He spoke at the Methodist Church Sunday evening, at the American Legion, at the Co-operative Club, at Kiwanis Club, at Cosmopolitan Club, at the Welfare Club and to other organizations, officiating as Judge, Sunday morning at the exercises of the Sunday Forum. Congressman Little has been a leading spirit in the recent struggle in Congress to see that the big fortunes paid taxes in accordance with their wealth. The very rich made a terrific effort to keep their sur-taxes down to 32% on incomes of a million, but Congress fixed them at 50%. During the great debate on that subject, Colonel Little opened the debate for those who believe in the 50% sur-tax on the rich, and his speech drew the fire of those who believe that the rich should not pay such tax, but the house voted 201 to 173 in favor of the plan advocated by our Congressman. This makes it easy for Congress to reduce the taxes on a man of small means. His fight, of course, for the interests of the average man will bring the opposition of some of the very rich, but there are not very many of them in this community and it is fortunate for us that we have a Congressman who is never afraid to do what is right, and stand up for the interests of the ordinary people. Kansas City, Kansas, has become so well acquainted with its Congressman that he now enjoys the highest confidence of the peoples and will be given another term in Congress without a doubt. Congressman Little received word from Mrs. Little Sunday that a vote would be had on Friday next on the Anti-Lynching Bill, and left at once for Washington to take part in that struggle in favor of that bill and the square deal for colored men in the South. He said before leaving: "I think that the bill has a splendid chance of passing and it will do a lot of good if it does." Congressman Little has been actively supporting the Resolution of Congressman Tinkham. This provides for a thorough investigation of the methods of voting in the Southern States by which colored men are deprived of their votes. The plan is to get their votes for them or cut down the number of the Southern Congressmen, so that they won't have any more votes in Congress than they would be entitled to have by the number of votes they have at home. This would force them to give the black man a vote and a square deal. Colonel Little was one of the 47 Congressmen who voted for that Resolution the last time it was up. He was the only Kansas Congressman who voted for it. His staunch fight for the rights of colored Republicans has drawn favorable comment from all over the United States.
