DYER SPEAKS TO LARGE CROWD More Than 1,500 People Heard Noted Law Maker, Who Talked of Efforts to Pass His Bill Although it was raining, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had a great meeting at the First A. M. E. church, Monday evening, April 3. More than 1,500 people were present. President J. P. King, with some other officials, went after Hon. L. C. Dyer in Mr. J. H. Clayborne's limousine. When they arrived at the church, the vast audience arose en masse and gave the distinguished visitor the Chautauqua salute and the following program was rendered: Chorus, Greeting to Spring (Strauss)), A. M. E. choir; Invocation, Dr. E. L. Harrison; chorus (Lohengrin), A. M. E. choir; remarks, explaining the object of the meeting, Prof. J. Hodge; Kansas Welcome to Missouri, Mayor H. B. Burton, who also introduced the speaker. Address, "Human Justice," Hon. L. C. Dyer, M. C. He received an ovation which lasted many minutes. He spoke so fervently on the Anti-Lynch bill, of which he is the father, until the church shook with prolonged applause. He held his audience spellbound, and said in part: "We are our brother's keeper, and should by our ballot see that congressmen are elected who help make laws to protect all persons alike, by giving every man a fair trial and doing away with lynching and mob violence of colored people." He electrified the great assembly, and as he was closing requested Rev. Davis, of the Christian church, his same faith, to close by leading the audience in the Lord's Prayer. Mr. Dyer spoke in glowing terms of the N. A. A. C. P. and stated it was doing far more and had done for his bill and the race the greatest good and urged his hearers and all colored people to support this one of the most helpful oraizagnitions in the interest of the race, and humanity, in this country. He further stated, if it had not been for this association, it is doubtful if this bill would have gotten through Congress. He also urged upon his audience to take the initiative, in seeing that every colored person in Kansas and see to it, that they write to our two senators, Charles Curtis and Arthur Capper, they must help carry out the pledges of the Chicago platform of their party. The speaker told how Col. E. C. Little, congressman from this district, made the fight for this bill on and off of the floor. A NIGHT OF "DO MEN COMEDY PRE EPSILON (Kansas U ALPHA PHI ALPHA GEORGE HAMILTON, ALEX GATEW UPSILON ORCHESTRA, HELD UNDER THE GO-TO-SCHOOL, GO-TO COMMITTE "GO-TO-SCHOOL; GO-TO-COLLEGE WEEK" APRIL 9 TO 15 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 "No candidate from constable to governor, is worthy of your vote if he refuses to endorse this bill," said the speaker. He further said: "No party should receive the support of a people who turned a deaf ear to right, justice and a fair opportunity to any class of its citizens." "You should love one another, as a race and consolidate your forces in everything that is worth while to the race, if you want to be felt, in your community, state and nation," said the speaker. Bill Provides Heavy Penalties The bill, known as the Dyer anti-lynching bill, as proposed by Representative Dyer, provides that a fine of $10,000 be assessed against a county in which a lynching takes place, the money to go to relatives of a person lynched, if living, and if dead, to the United States treasury. Those involved in a lynching will be given a trial, if convicted, be subject to five years to life in the penitentiary. The bill is aimed to protect, all citizens and prevent mob violence. Dyer said race prejudice has assumed greater proportions in the United States than in any other civilized country in the world and has reached a stage where it is a vital problem. Produces Lynching Statistics The congressman produced statistics to show that out of 4,000 lynchings, only 600 were charged with attacks on women. He received an ovation as some one exclaimed, "he should be our next U. S. president." An. appropriate resolution was read, by Prof. G. B. Buster, in which he was thanked and complimented by the huge gathering. It was carried unanimously. Prof. J. P. King, president of the Kansas City, Kansas, branch, in his remarks called Congressman Dyer the second Abraham Lincoln, and having a letter from James Weldon Johnson for city officials and others of note urging the senate to pass the antilynching bill, was successful in getting Mayor Burton to sign it at this open meeting and the audience cheered Mayor Burton's act very vociferously. The First Baptist choir sang the National Anthem, by a colored composer, as the closing song, and was applauded. Mrs. H. Dwiggins and Mrs. Herndon, secretaries of the branch were assisted in writing receipts for membership by Mrs. C. S. Matthews, Mrs. J. H. Clayborne, Prof. and Mrs. Buster and others, and it was found they obtained over $361.50 cash at this meeting. This great meeting, which will never be forgotten, was closed with the benediction by Rev. Davis of the Eighth Street Christian church, and the fruits of it will be seen and gathered many days hence. \nTwo thousand members is the drive for Kansas City, Kansas.

ADVOCATE Every Method of Transportation, From Special Cars to Muleback Brought the Crowds to Tuskegee Tuskegee, Ala., April 5. Transportation methods, ranging from special cars to muleback, were utilized to bring to Tuskegee today a steady stream of white people and Negroes to attend the unveiling of a statute of Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee institute. Special cars brought parties from New York, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta and New Orleans. The unveiling was set for the afternoon, with Dr. Wallace Buttrick, president of the general education board; Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago, and Josephus Daniels, ex-secretary of the navy, as speakers. "I think there will be little divergence from the opinion that Booker T. Washington was one of the most useful Americans of his time and that the work he inaugurated and so long directed already is demonstrating the wisdom of his attitude toward one of the great public questions of the nation. My own views on this subject are in no small part the result of my observation of Dr. Washington's work and its results. "I have long felt that Booker T. Washington had visioned the right way to deal with our national problems of our races in a manner most likely to produce the best effects from the standpoint of the entire nation and' all elements of its people. I am glad of th eoccasion thus to signify my very high esteem for a great leader." CITIZENS' FORUM Although Dr. Holmes of Kansas City, Mo., wanted Sunday for his church at the Forum, they failed to materialize. The Forum, nevertheless, had a good meeting. President Davis presided and Prof. Buster made an interesting talk. After which the question arose as to "Why concerts were announced for different schools and then the dates were canceled." Mr. Wm. Boone talked first, then Mrs. H. Dwiggins and Mr. D. W. White. Mr. Gayden held a different view to those who wanted the matter investigated. A fine program will sure be rendered next Sunday, April 9, by the Boy Scouts. They will also demonstrate some activities in first aid. (See program elsewhere in this paper.) Don't fail to come and come early to get a seat. Tell everybody to attend the Forum at Metropolitan Temple Sunday, April 9. George McNair, the son of J. P.

This noted evangelist comes from Tampa, Florida, and is one of the great preachers and presiding elders. Many will remember this strong minister, as he held a revival here something over a year ago, when many were converted of their sins. Dr Dixon is a great singer, which adds to his powerful Christian arguments. YATES Y. W. C. A.

If going to school and coming in contact with educated men and women would make a man educated, then I should be one of the most educatedest man in world, for I have been mingling with educators until I feel that I am some purrpkins and I feel my head swelling daily. You will observe that I am out of Florida, and I am now standing on the brink of Tuskegee, and will step over into the center of the universe just in a few hours from now, but in order to get you a letter for this issue I will have to mail it before the unveiling of the monument, and then in my next letter tell you all about it. I was in Lakeland, when I penned you a few lines last week. Sunday nigh after I had spoken the word, then I left with Prof. N. W. Collier, that young and intellectual giant, the man who is doing things in Florida. The man who took a big program a few years ago, when people declared it impossible. Contracted for some land in St. Augustine, costing $50,000. Some said that the would never be able to pay the debt, but they did not figure correctly, for it was a man's job, and there was truly a man on the job. In two years now every cent has been paid, and now they have a real building program, one that will stand the test. It will take a man to put it over and he is the man. But I am not saying what I started out to say. We made it to Plant City in that car 'in order to get the Seaboard Air Line wagon to tote us to Jacksonville, and from there on to St. Augustine. But little time was spent in Jacksonville on the go but more when I returned. St. Augustine was reached and there we went into that wonderful institution: They have strawberries down there, and I wish you could have seen me getting on the outside of strawberries. Knowing that I was sick, Prof. Collier took special interest in me. I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. McCall, who is the dean, and then noted character in the educational world, Miss Sarah A. Blocker, and a few others. They have a fine student body there, but I will not talk about it, because I am going back next week, and get some more strawberries and more inspiration and talk to you about it. Back then to Jacksonville, where I had a fine time getting Entered as second-class matter August 29, 1914, at the postoffice at Kansas City, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879. 4.

CHURCH NEWS Sunday was a beautiful Lord's day, with sunshine and warmth giving life to nature and to mankind and giving it in abundance. The congregation was unusually large, whose faces showed a smile of reverence to Him for such a privilege. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, filled his pulpit, delivering a sermon of great power and filled with the Holy Ghost. At the close a number joined the church, some acknowledging Christ for the first time. It was communion Sunday and a large number were given sacrament. The pastor delivered his second sermon for the day at 7:30 p. m., when a nice audience received the message with open hearts. The attendance at the Sabbath school at 9:30 a. m., was large and much interest in the lesson was demonstrated by every class. The Easter program of the school will be one of the best for many Easters. The teachers have been rehearsing their pupils for weeks, in literary and musical numbers for some time for this great eventful day. The class meeting last Friday night, was inspiring to the soul. The pastor spoke touchingly and feelingly on "Faith." Two joined the church at the close of the service. Come out tonight and bring some one with you. Your leader will be looking for you. Revival to Start Soon Beginning Monday night following Easter Sunday a revival campaign will start, the evangelist, Rev. I. H. Dixon, of Tampa, Fla.

The meeting will run two or three weeks. Christians girdle up your loins and make ready with the help of God to out general that monster, sin, and that many souls may be happily brought to Christ.

KANSAS, CITY, KANSAS The Jackson Jubilee Singers will present the best in song, instrumental music and reading at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. Tuesday, April 11, 8:15 p. m. Come. This organization is one of the best in the country. As a home developed company let us show how we appreciate their artistic skill. They will cause you to shed tears of joy and laughter and feel the thrill of achievement. They will cheer the weary traveler, cause the downcast to look up, the discouraged to take heart, the achieving to still achieve. We are not fully aware of what the human voice can do. Come and hear. The price is in the reach of all—twenty-five cents. Don't fail to hear them. Mr. Fletcher's address last Sunday on India was instructive. The 3:30 p. m., meetings are being well attended. Our membership is now 614. Men and boys are continuing to join. This is gratifying. We must provide a wholesome atmosphere for our boys. This in a special manner is the aim and purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association. Our building is a wonderful plant. It is well equipped for building the man physically a modern gymnasium that will tone up the run down system. Our business men must learn the value of a little time off spent in the gymnasium. Teachers need the same kind of exercise. There is no need of taking all kinds of medicines when a few minutes a day in the gymnasium will renew the body, start the blood flowing joyfully through the arteries that are already beginning to harden. Why sit around with the backache, stiff joints and humming "Darling, I Am Growing Old," when the body can be made supple and life on earth extended. Since our men are entering business and other sedentary professions they must learn the necessity of keeping their bodies fit. They must realize that time off from their usual labor is not lost but pays big dividends in energy, vim, vigor and the thrill of life. We are offering a fine remedy—join the Y. M. C. A. The laboring man need not think that he is exempt from the helpfulness of exercises that will tone up all the muscles. He, too, should accept this fine opportunity—Join the Y. M. C. A. Do not forget your son— your boy. Let us have him. He has a long life ahead of him. The Y. M. C. A. is endeavoring to aid in giving him a good start. Send him to The Paseo Young Men's Christian Association, 1824 Paseo. Yours for a fine manhood and boyhood. G. A. GREGG, Executive Secretary. The Boy Scouts will give the program at the Forum Sunday, which will be one of the best, it is said, rendered this year. You should not miss it.

L. Harrison preach, and Rev. Lewis sing. At 11 a.m., Pastor Harrison preached on "Jacob wrestling with the Angel to obtain a blessing," and how God changed his name to Israel." The lesson taught is that we should not give up too quickly, but after accepting, follow Christ to the end, and we will obtain eternal life. At 6:30 p. m., he gave an instructive Bible lesson at the B. Y. P. U. At 8 p. m., the organist played the beautiful voluntary, "Abide With Me," and a multitude assembled in the great structure. Deacon Ford gave the invocation, and the Sunbeams girls took up the Mission collection. The choir sang, "It Pays to Serve Jesus." Deacons Oliver, Taylor, Johnson, Ford, McCombs, Thomas, and Jennings were as usual the armor-bearers. When Pastor Harrison arose to deliver the last of his series of sermons. He read from Is. 1-3 and 20th. Text, "The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider." He taught us that this Scripture is not only an indictment of ancient Israel, but an indictment of modern Israel, that it, is indicts sinners of today. He preached a most excellent sermon, and the Holy Ghost filled the Temple. Rev. Lewis sang the "Judgment Morn," spiritually and "Death is Only a Dream," pathetically. Assistant Pastor A. Royston assisted wherever necessary and Rev. Thos. Knapper and other ministers were present. Some united with the church and it is found that over 130 have been reclaimed to Christ during the ten days, and over 85 have asked to be baptized in Metropolitan, and when the offertory was lifted, there was $164 given for Rev. Lewis's services, and over $100 ordinary church collection; total collections over $264. The meeting beat the record of any ten days' meeting yet in Kansas City, Kansas. Pastor Harrison thanked all who attended and assisted and especially thanked The Advocate for its space and Mrs. M. C. Matthews for her advertisements on bulletin boards and sidewalks and for the two song poems she gave to the singer and to himself. Next Sunday, April 9, will be baptizing. Everybody is invited to come and witness this divine ordinance. Come early to get seats. This is the first church of our race to install a telephone in the church. Mrs. Jennie Palmer is reported very sick. The Silent Forces gave a fine reception Tuesday night for Rev. Lewis, Rev. Carey and Dr. Harrison. The Shriners' band played fine selections between the numbers on the program, and the many guests present enjoyed the hospitality of the ladies' reception at Metropolitan Temple.

WEST PLAINS, MO. The Lord smiled on us last Sunday with a splendid sunshine. Although sickness had our services for the morning a little handicapped, Sunday school was fine as usual. Miss Lois Thoma, the superintendent, was a little ill and was somewhat late. At the hour of preaching the pastor preached a very strong sermon from Rev. 19:16. Subject, Christ, the Universal King. He preached a good sermon, although it was late. REV. DR. H. FRANKLIN BRAY CLOSES REVIVAL Washington Court House, O., March 27.—The Rodgers Changel A. M. E. church, of which Rev. G. B. McLean is pastor, has just closed one of the most successful and satisfactory revival meetings in the history of the church. The meetings began March 8, and closed March 26. Rev. Dr. H. Franklin Bray, the Rocky Mountian Evangelist, Mrs. H. Franklin Bray, the great social worker, and Miss B. Y. P. U. conducted by Mrs. Minnie Jones, was indeed highly spirited with, enthusiasm. Ever Loyal entertained all of the sections with a splendid program. Praise, services after closing of Union were conducted by Miss Lois Thomas and Miss Gussie Davis, with much spiritual fervor. Rev. M. C. Lewis preached a very able sermon from Ezekial 37. Text, O, Lord, God Thou Knowest. Subject, Ezekial's Great Vision. He began by saying: "Where there is no vision the people perish." This prophecy, he said, was written during the early part of the exile (586-572 B.C.) and refers to the return from the exile. And was written on the banks of the Chebar near Babylon. The hand of the Lord, not man, nor books, were placed upon the prophet. The hand he said, was and is, the instrument and symbol of active exertion of strength. Jehovah laid hold of the prophet, took full possession of him, in order to send the exiles a message. God wants to use our mouth, ears, feet and hands for His purpose. Star Light Band gave an entertainment last Tuesday night and realized $6.05. It was given at the home of Mrs. Mary Cleggett. The C. M. E. church gave an entertainment Saturday night also, and did well. Mr. Mack Alexander, our pioneer deacon, of Mt. Olive Baptist church, who has been confined to his bed for the past week is convalescent. Mrs. Viola Harvey and Mrs. Norcise Warren and their little daughter of Mrs. Harvey's and her little son, Pauline Harvey, and Richard Harvey, all from Jonesboro, Ark. Mrs. Lena Ball, from Carthage, Mo. These are all devoted girls to their father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Mack Alexander. Mr. Harry Givehand is improving also. Nearly $22.00 were the receipts from last week's offerings of the church. The Star Light band met at Mrs. Alice Alexander's last Thursday night of last week. Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are planning a grand program for Easter. Mrs. Minnie Jones, head of the B. Y. P. U., and Miss Lois Thomas heads the Sunday school. Rev. and Mrs. M. C. Lewis were entertained at dinner last Sunday at the home of Mrs. Elizier Thomas. Mission Circle also entertained at Mrs. Thomas' last Monday night, which was largely attended. Mrs. Erma McCraney, 844 New Jersey avenue., is visiting in Hot Springs, Ark. Mrs. McCraney left Monday and will be gone about three weeks. Her friends wish the recreation and visit a pleasant one.

FRANKLIN BRAY CLOSES REVIVAL Washington Court House, O., March 27.—The Rodgers Changel A. M. E. church, of which Rev. G. B. McLean is pastor, has just closed one of the most successful and satisfactory revival meetings in the history of the church. The meetings began March 8, and closed March 26. Rev. Dr. H. Franklin Bray, the Rocky Mountian Evangelist, Mrs. H. Franklin Bray, the great social worker, and Miss Fayette Bowens, the great soloist, had full charge of the meetings and few people engaged in the evangelistic work, combine so many qualities requisite to the success of the work as they. Dr. Bray, a man of brilliant intellect, and an able speaker; Mrs. Bray, a person of rare culture and piety; Miss Bowen, with a voice full of sweetness and a cheerful temperament. They all possess the happy faculty of adapting themselves to any audience, swaying them at will. Many persons were converted and added to the church and the entire membership was greatly enthused, united and inspired by the matchless eloquence of Dr. Bray. Monday night, March 27, Dr. Bray, Mrs. Bray, Miss Fayete Bowens, the Gospel chorus and numbers of persons from Washington C. H., went to Mt. Sterling, Ohio, to the Presbyterian church (white) on invitation of the pastor, and preached and sung to a large and appreciative audience, who were completely captivated. JOHN F. OATNEAL, Justice of the Peace. HORTON, KANSAS Just a line from the Horton circuit. We recently closed a successful revival meeting at Horton and Sabetha. At Horton we had 14 converts and two reclaimed; two converts and two reclaimed at Sabetha, making a total of 20 accessions to the churches. Rev. W. M. Enyard, the great evangelist, also pastor of the A. M. E. church, at Newton, conducted meeting. About 95% of the colored people here in Horton now are church members, as near as we can estimate. We are now rallying at all these points, and with the churches spiritually alive we are expecting success financially. The District Conference convened inHorton the last week in May, Will give you details later. However, success sis our aim. Mrs. A. H. Hamilton and niece, Effie Mae, returned home Monday, the 27th, from Little Rock, Ark., where they went to attend the funeral of her sister, Minnie Bolden, who died March 5.

PAGE THREE ...GRAND OPENING.... NEW DUNBAR THEATRE SUNDAY, APRIL 9 Doors Open at 2:30 P.M. 4 Shows----3, 5, 7, 9 P.M. ORGAN MUSIC----ALWAYS THE BEST PHOTO PLAYS AT PRE-WAR PRICES MIDNIGHT around seeing what we are doing and how we are doing it. I went to St. Paul A. M. E. parsonage and met the new pastor, the Rev. Dr. Boger. I visited him last year in Key West and now he is in Jacksonville, and I hope he is going to do well there. I talked with President Wright, of Edward Waters college, and when I got through with him, I turned attention to getting around. Up to the Masonic Temple, and there is where I had the pleasure of being inspired with many things. The first was Dr. E. A. Welters, who is one of the leading dentists in this country, and a man who knows how to care for the teeth, not only how to half sole them, but how to keep them from needing to be half soled or whole soled. He is manufacturing a tooth powder that will keep them clean and healthy. It is called "E. A. Welter's Antiseptic Tooth Powder," and it says for polishing the gold bleaching and preserving the teeth, and is now in drug stores all over the country. They have a fine factory for this place and our young people are kept busy packing and shipping it to all parts of the country. Then out to Edward Waters college, where I met Bishop John Hurst and wife. They getting ready to return to their home. I got with the Rev. Dr. T. Y. Tooke, presiding elder in and around Jacksonville, and one of the leaders in the A. M. E. church, in Florida, a man who is going to the top in his church some day because of his worth to his church and denomination. Dr. Tookes is now devoting his time in helping his friends and is now looking after the interest of Rev. L. R. A. Grant, who is now before the church for episcopal honors, and Dr. Tooke is managing the cause, and believe me when I tell you that he is a good one. He has accumulated something himself. He owns some of the best property in Jacksonville and in other parts of Florida, and then he has a fine automobile, a wife and daughter, and is as happy as a lark and all because he is making others happy. I spent all the rest of my time with this wonderful character, until I left the next day for Georgia. We went to see Dr. Grant, had ice cream and other fixing together, went to the stable to se Bishop Hurst and his wife leave, and then to bed: I spent the night in his home and the next morning we left for Savannah. You know Florida. I am not going to say much about it, except you will recall that Dr. JohnA.Gregg spent a few years down in this place, the president of Edward Waters college, and he put it on the map, and then turned attention to Wilberforce, where he is now, and from there he went to the presidency of Wilberforce University, and believe me he is doing some real work there. We are all proud of him and his wonderful work. He is at times working against odds., but will go to the top. You will see him in 1924 one of the bishops of the A. M. E. church, and while he would like to go to South Africa, yet there is going to be a demand for him right here in America. He is a man who makes friends, and then he is a well trained man. He is a graduate from the Unievrsvity of Kansas at Lawrence, and has had much experience. He has been president of one college in Africa and two in America, and he is now much in demand. All the West is proud of him, and a host of, people all over the country are knowing him. Now what else happened to me. I spent only a few hours in Savannah—in fact only one hour, and then off for Dublin, Ga., to be the guest of Rev. and Mrs. P. W. Wrenn, of the Baptist church. He is the pastor of the First Baptist church there, and invited me to come down there for the first time in my life and meet the people. He had a carriage at the stable to meet me and escorted me to his home. They have erected a fine parsonage for him there, but not yet completed. Both of these people received me like I was truly a brother, father or son, and there was a committee there to welcome me. The day was spent in town. I visited the schools, met many people, and left for Augusta, Ga., reaching that town about 12 o'clock, and found Dr. G. N. Stony, one of the leading physicians in Georgia, awaiting my arrival, and assisted me off of the Central of Georgia wagon, and escorted me over to his automobile, car carriage, and soon had me seated and we were off for his palatial residence. Dr. Stoney is a recognized leader in thought, in business enterprises, in all affairs that are for racial uplift. He is a man of large vision and experience. He holds an important place with the Knights of Pythias, handling for them hundreds of thousands of dollars, and accounts for even parts of pennies. He has been in the doctor business for a number of years, and he knows the game. He is skilled. His wife is a refined, cultured woman, and I shall tell you about her later. After spending a short time waiting for the storm to get out of the way, then we were off for the temple of knowledge. We went to Haynes Institute, and it was worth the trip to Augusta, to meet that most remarkable of all women, Miss Lucy Laney, a woman of brains, a woman of thought, a woman who is a living example of the womanhood of the whole race. We also visited Payne college, and then on to the city. The Lenox Theatre is as enterprise for our people. It is a real building erected by them, and fitted up well. It is as fine as any, in the city. The men whose money is in there are Dr. G. N. Stoney, president; John A. Norfleet, vice-president; J. P. Waring, treasurer; W. H. Wilborn, secretary and manager. They also have a fine bakery in this city. As I looked and looked at these places, I just shouted out "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." I made so much noise shouting that the people thought I was crazy, and were ready to get the police to tote me to the crazy house, but Dr. Stoney was there and vouched for me, telling that I belonged back in slavery days and was rejoicing to notice the progress the race was making. I tell you if you could drop into Augusta, you would just shout all over yourself if not all over Heaven. Then off to Atlanta, and a few hours spent in Morehouse college, the guest of Prof. John Hope and his wife. Prof. Hope is president, and truly a-college man. I will not be able to tell you all about it in this letter. I am now in Montgomery, and you must read my next letter. J. O. MIDNIGHT. THEN AWAKE THE POWERS Which in An Age of Iron, Curbed the Strong and Protected the Weak That power was not more nor less than Reason, Right Reason applied to the affairs of men. Mr. Editor: For years I have been trying to stumble along "The Line of Reason" in regard race matters, but the progress seemed to slow, that I had almost concluded, "What's the use?" Having heard the gentle, yet most powerful remarks of the Hon. L. C. Dyer, on what it takes to make a man, and heard him state so clearly and so forcefully, "That it makes no diqerence however much you have of everything else there is to be had; if you have not that difference, however much you respect a fellow of your race, as by nature the equal of any other—then you are woefully deficient and unworthy of being called a man." And when I heard him make it so clear, that proclaiming one thing and practicing the opposite by this, or any other government, was but the following of a line, that surely leads to destruction and ruin, and that the end is only a matter of time. When we heard such burning words of truth, we could not keep from wondering how those peculiar individuals who in their daily life, violate with impunity the rule he made so clear and plain, I wondered why their hands were not paralyzed, when they applauded him in denouncing the things they practice. Now, then, think seriously, just as seriously as you can, about his remarks. as to "Respect for your Fellow race man." And if said remarks did not, and do not strike and, condemn you, you of course will heartily agree with him;—and if they grate on your conscience, because of your notions and practices;—then "ring, oh, ring". a change quickly on your notions and practices. We is gwynter be here er gin nex' week. A committee to observe the rebuilding of the Seventh street viaduct has been appointed by the Armourdale Business club. As long as the car company has to pay part of the cost of rebuilding and as long as the car company is run by a federal judge, there won't be no new Seventh street viaduct. For all of which we mix our tears with those of the estimable Armourdale gentlemen. A new gasoline filling station has been about completed at the corner of Thirteenth street and Quindaro boulevard. This will make this transfer point about as safe as the center of Sixth street and Minnesota avenue on a day when the traffic cop is chasing bank messenger holdups. The drainage board wants another bond issue of $400,000 for further flood protection. Since the Volstead act went in force there has been no floods, due to the people of Topeka learning to drink water, but there's no telling how soon some one may invent a cheap way of making hookch. The county farm agent says fruit has not been injured by the late cold spell. This means that the crop of nuts will be as great as ever next summer when primary election gets here. The slides on the Argentine hills are again causing trouble. Unless the city goes ahead and prevents them, it may cause the Santa Fe railroad to spend some money protecting its tracks. The Boy Scouts will give the program at the Forum Sunday, which will be one of the best, it is said, rendered this year. You should not miss it. Mrs. Maggie Woods has as her guest her mother, who is visiting here from Lincoln, Neb. Who's Who? Back in those days, wet days that have ended, two gentlemen, both far overtaken in alcoholic stimulant, were seen under a lamp-post on a street corner clinging to each other for support. As a spectator passed them he overheard the following dialogue carried on in somewhat fuzzy accents: Said Souse Number One to Souse Number Two: "Do you know Bill Talbott" Said Souse Number Two after a moment of reflection: "No; whuzziz his name?" A small boy was sitting next to a rather fussy woman in a crowded car, and he kept sniffing in a most tannoying way. Finally she asked: "Boy, have you got a handkerchief?" The small boy looked at her for a few seconds and then, in a dignified manner, replied: "Yes, I have; but I don't lend it to strangers." BUILDING PERMITS M. A.
