UNVEILING WAS A GRAND AFFAIR AT TUSKEGEE Midnight Meets Many Notable Persons at the Historical Gathering Tuskegee Institute, Alabama When Booker T. Washington walked on earth he drew great crowds. He was a master, and as he lifted up his brother he was followed by the multitude. They sought to see him. Now that he has passed into another world he is still drawing because he accomplished great things, and the world is still asking, "What manner of man is he?" From every section of the United States, and from the highest people came to pay a tribute to the memory of the great educator and to unveil his 'statue in bronze so that those who are to come in generations yet unborn will know that he lives in the hearts of his people and when I say his people, I have reference to the American people. For several months I have been talking to you people about April 5, Founders Day, at Tuskegee Institute, and I have been telling you what was going to take place then, and now that it has happened I hardly know how to start to tell you about it, for it was a wonderful day—in fact, it was a wonderful week. At this time the trustees of the institution met. Men and women were here from all parts of the country. Some of the wealth and culture of America from both races came to pay a tribute to a great man who lives today. I have never seen so many big people since I have been in the world, and I have never shaken hands with so many real wealthy people. I reached from Montgomery Monday afternoon and reported to the office of Secretary Albion L. Holsey, and while he was a busy man, he took time to shake hands with me and ordered that I be toted to my room. He said that it was a room with a bath and, all other accommodations, and that he wanted me to be right at home. and if there was anything I needed just let him know and I could then and there feel my PERSONALITY Personality is the throbb Flower Shop.

I fear I now have the big head. I just knocked and knocked around. They had some big drilling and to me it looked like an army of soldiers getting ready to defend Old Glory I just got my ashes up, but was informed that the boys were drilling, and not getting ready to fight, and cooled down. I then started out to meet some men and women who were visiting the institution. The first man I met was the man who has been spoken of so much, and the man who is contributing so much to education especially in the rural districts. This was Mr. Julius Rosenwald. He has given thousands of dollars to the Y. M. C. A. as you know, and then he has given to the erection of schools. He is the official head of the Sears-Roebuck mail order house, the largest of its kind in the world'. If you think of Mr. Rosenwald and his mint of money, you would think him so high that you could not get in touch distance of him, but I am here to tell you if you have thought it you have another think coming to you, for he is a man of the people. Since he is a man of the people, he is ready to receive, to shake hands and talk with the people, and he looked upon a man as a man. He declares that color has nothing to do with manhood, and I agree with him. I did not want to believe that he was the man, for he was more friendly than the two by four men, who get a little money and little education and then you have to get a step ladder to get up to them. This is not true with this great man, for he is friendly with all men, and will enjoy with them a friendly chat, a joke, and is ready to extend his hand to the fellow down. He is certainly a man of God who recognizes the fact that Gcd has made him a steward, and put him in charge of some of his money to help the needy—to see that it is properly distributed and see that none get lost. Such a man the world needs. Mr. Rosenwald was accompanied by his wife. She is a very queen, and is ready to encourage the woman who needs encouragement. She is a woman who took time in her youth to get the proper training. She knows as much about cooking as the best cook in this country and then she is up on the house keeping. She knows the broom and its use, the duster and its use—then she knows (Concluded on Fourth Page) COURT OF H. OF J. IS ORGANIZED AT BONNER SPRINGS We have the good pleasure to announce the existence of a Court of The Heroines of Jericho in Bonner Springs, Saturday, April 3, about 3 o'clock p.m., our Most Excellent Rt. Worshipful Grand Master, Rev. J. A. Broadnax, in a most brilliant and eminent manner (a quality of itself peculiarly and originally vested in this grand and noble man), ascended in the presence of a club of men and women assembled and poured forth a stream of sublime and serene truths that set each heart fluttering in an extacy of delight, and soon every one in attendance were lost to the turmoils of this life and soared for a time into the realm of the heavenly heritage! With the greatest of joy we at this time announce that out of the truth so fittingly set forth was born Bonner Springs Lodge No. 75, Heroines of Jericho, with 12 women and nine men duly set up with the following officers: Sister Hattie King, M.

The pastor preached in the morning a splendid sermon, exemplifying Abraham's faith as a guide for all Christians. The Lord's supper was administered in the afternoon and a spiritual feast was experienced by all present. The testimonials of those who testified were truly inspiring, each expressing a determination toward higher planes of Christian perfection.

ADVOCATE Friday, April 14, 1922 CE'S GREATEST DE TWO KANSAS MEN IN BUSINESS ON MISSOURI·SIDE Kansas City, Kansas, has two of its prominent citizens, who are doing a fine business on the Missouri side, at the corner of Woodland avenue and Nineteenth street, in the persons of Mr. Charles Williams and Mr. Lloyd McDonald, who are associated and operating a grocery business at the said location. They are both well known in our community and while they have only been in business a few months, by their energetic business acumen and honest dealing have built up a wonderful trade. They have a large clean stock of standard goods, of staple groceries, fresh and salt meat; in fact, everything that a first class grocery carries. Both of these gentlemen are full fledged business men and know what service means to the public. We are glad to say, we can vouch for these two men. Their customers will always get an honest and square deal. Mr. Williams is a retired employee of the Armour Packing plant and Mr. McDonald was for many years in business on the Kansas side. Their phone is Clifton 0843. Mrs. Ruth Hughes-Smith's adopted baby was buried recently. Miss Burns, one of our teachers, attends church regularly and does her school work well, too. Mrs. Harrison Newman, 1926 North Sixth street, has not been so well for some weeks. Mrs. Chas. Slaughter, 1513 North Ninth street, has been quite ill for the past week, but is a little better at this writing. Mr. A. G. Holder, 202 Stewart, is still confined to his room with illness, but is improving slowly, of which his friends are very pleased to know. Mrs. Caldwell, of Fort Scott, Kansas, a sister of Mrs. Bessie White of 2600 North Allis street, has moved here and is located on North Hallock street. Rev. Lewis, the great evangelistic singer, left Monday night for Palestine, Texas, then to Little Rock. Mrs. Pleasant entertained Rev. Lewis at dinner Sunday. The funeral of Mr. Pleasant Graves, an old and respected citizen, was held Monday from Mason Memorial M. E. church. It was largely attended, as he was a consistent Christian. Mrs. Daisy Allen of Oklahoma was the guest of Mrs. Amanda Smith, 812 Nebraska avenue a.part of Sunday, being on her way to Lincoln, Neb. Miss Olie Estes, who has been teaching in Graham county, stopped off a short time here, on her way home at Baxter springs, Kansas, to visit her friends, the Misses Bernice and Lonetta Alexander, 413 Nebraska avenue, where they reside with their aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Kimble, while attending high school here. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, a well-to-do farmer of Rogue, Kansas, visited Mrs. Alexander's sister and family. Mr. and Mrs. C. B.

The leaders of the different performances, H. Dwiggins, Jr., R. Tillman, W. Shelton, R. White, S. Thompson, D. Thompson and the other scouts did well. Mr. Sawyer, national scout master, gave the principal address, which was fine. C. A. Lannigan and C. L. Peterson talked well. Profs. G. H. Mowbray and James Williams, scout masters, were present and "doing their god turn." The most thrilling feature was letting a boy scout down from the balcony on a rope. Parents should see to it that their boys take part in the Boy Scouts as it teaches them many useful lessons; also gives them a chance to develop their bodies.

The committee on school matters reported progress, and was continued. Some questions were asked concerning the creation of new offices and places by the city commissioners, and the legality of the payment of such salaries. The matter of the location of the new court house was also discussed, and I. F. Bradley was chosen as a committee to inform the board of county commissioners as to the sentiment of the League on that subject, which was unanimously and strongly in favor of building the new one where the present structure stands. The drive for membership was continued, and many new ones are expected. There was much expression of good feeling and inspiration on account of the very excellent address of Hon. L. C. Dyer in behalf of the N. A. A. C. P. and several members made remarks commending the association and (Concluded on Fourth Page) MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. THE CRANE STORE .

CHURCH NEWS REVIVAL MEETINGS ARE TO START An extra large audience of worshippers and Sunday church goers attended the 11 o'clock service. Many visitors and strangers out of the city were present. The sermon was on the home and home life of the parents, Christian and non-Christian life before their children. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, painted many beautiful pictures of happy homes, where the Christian father and mother reside and as sad and unhappy homes where the parents live without Christ in it. It was a most helpful and thoughtful discourse, not only to parents, but to everyone who were present and at the close, two strong thinking young people came forward with penitent hearts. Others joined from other churches. Sunday will be a big day at First church. The pastor will deliver a special Easter sermon at 11 o'clock. The choir will render special Easter music of the late anthems for this occasion. Baptism of babies and adults will be administered at the close of the service.

Come out to this meeting and bring some little ones. The 11:30 services were somewhat delayed in the beginning because of the slowness of the congregation in gathering. "He that thinks he is too early is always sure to be too late." PETER B. Come out early next Sunday morning. The text of the sermon was: For the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. The subject was: God always has a man to do His work. The main thought portrayed in the sermon was: If you are punished by affliction, loss of real estate or money, let it be for righteous sake. The Sunday school is still entreating boys and girls, men and women, to come and learn how the good men and women of older days prospered by obedience and how the same people were punished when they disbeved God. The Community meeting is held every Sunday afternoon at 4:30. Our greatest aims are to help the community in all ways that are beneficial. Our programs are very beneficial because we not only bring to our audience the vital problems of the world, industrially, economically, socially and religiously; addresses which serve as stimulants to our people; music, both instrumental and vocal, but we encourage our members to come before us and be inspired and encouraged to render same. Today's program was very good. The music and reading were excellent. The address by Mr. Levi Terrill was great. He closed by appealing to his race to use more freely the three graces God gave us, namely: Fresh, pure water, wholesome food and pure air and lengthen the average life of our race from 35 years to 45 years or more or the race will soon die out. Mr. McFields, a graduate of Tuskegee, will address us next Sunday Mr. T. H. Reynolds, of Sumner High school, will give some good music. Special price on white petroleum to Hair Dressers.

KANSAS, CITY, KANSAS TEMPLE NOTES SUNDAY, APRIL 9 WAS ANOTHER GREAT DAY Nearly 2,000, with standing room at a premium, assembled at this church to worship God and witness the large baptizing. At 11 a.m., after the procession of the choir, came Rev. Holly and Rev. Pickens and Rev. A. Royston, the assistant pastor, who led the congregation in the 23rd Psalm. After the choir sang, "Must Jesus Bear the Cross?" and notices were read, the organist played the "Psalms" as a voluntary during the mission collection. After the invocation the choir sang "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross." Then came the most important feature, the sermon by Pastor Harrison, from Rom. 6-11. He said in part, "that Baptists believe that baptism is the doorway to Christ. He had sixteen persons to read Bible references and fully explained the origin, prerequisites and the manner in baptism so fully that legions say, "never a man spake like this pastor." The spirit hovered in the Temple as the 16 read Bible verses proving what he preached. He also said, don't go away and say "he said thus and so, but it is what the Bible says." 48 were baptized in the beautiful glass gaptistry and it was an inspiring scene. One little girl wept for joy. Some men and women gave vent to the Holy Spirit. Dr. Harrison also says baptism is a burial, and had the choir to sing bury hymns. Dr. Blount introduced Mr. Coleman, a blind man, who spoke. A collection of $17 was taken up for the assistant pastor. At 3 p. m., our pastor is said to have preached fine at Pleasant Green Church, and our choir sang. At 8 p. m., Dr. Green, secretary of the health board, gave an instructive talk on "How to Keep Healthy." Again the congregation spread into the balconies. The collection was way over $100. Next Sunday, April 16, the Sunday school will give special Easter exercises, also the B. Y. P. U., and th echoir will sing special Easter anthems. They also give an Easter pageant this, Friday night, and a chicken dinner in the day. Come to church Easter Sunday. You are always welcome at Metropolitan. Our 10 days meetings gave us 112 more members and we want $759 beginning Easter Sunday.

MIAMI, MO., NOTES Services at Second Baptist church were conducted by Rev. W. E. Steward, of Bonner Springs, Kan. Attendance was fair and full of devotion. Text for morning was taken from Phil3-10, subject, "Getting acquainted with Jesus." The aim of the discourse was to teach how we may know Jesus. Text for the evening was taken from 1st Psalm 3rd verse, subject, "The progressive nature of the righteous," which was discussed in a way to show the means of growth of a Christian. Collection from all sources about $21.00. This work shows that by a little effort the possibility to make it second to none if the church would get together and choose a pastor of unselfish motives, then follow his directions, their fortifications would be invulnerable. It looks quite favorable for wedging bells around here as some sparks are seen flying. Believe me, nobody can beat me tying a knot when it devolves upon me, because I'm a genuine expert at that. We are quite sorry to note there is no satisfactory improvement in the condition of Sister Hutcheson at this writing. We hope and pray she will soon improve from this serious state. Sister Carter is reported still on the sick list, but greatly improved. We hope she will soon be fully restored to health again. Mrs. Garnett, of Omaha, Neb., is visiting her sister, Mrs. Beason, of this place Sunday. Search Light No. 5, U. B.

Calloway-Byron a Brilliant Success The spacious auditorium of Ebenezer A. M. E. church was well filled with the music lovers of the two Kansas Cities when Prof. R. G. Jackson presented Madame M. Calloway-Byron, ormatic soprano, in a program of French and Italian classics. Madame Byron captivated her audience in her first rendition and charmed her audience until her last number, "Invocation to the Sun God," Her voice is ravishingly lovely. Her tones unfold with real beauty and passion and is well worth listening to. Those who assisted on the program and deserve special mention are Mr. Jackson Truitt, of Western University, clarinet trio by Messrs. Howard Massey, Carl Moody and Calvin Young. The Reynolds quartet was superb, the quintessence of harmony. They were enthusiastically encored. The artistic concert promoters are to be congratulated for this advance step in the promotion and encouragement, of art in our racial group. F. LEONTINE PRINCE.

THE QUAKOR OIL CO. 131 W. 31st St. New York SAYS THE ROTTEN PUBLIC MAKE THE MOVIES IMMORAL Hobart Bosworth, the movie star, said a whole mouthful when, in an address before the California Club at San Francisco, he declared: "You who comprise the public think that we of the motion picture world are rotten. We know you are. We know that you are rotten, for we know the appeal you demand of us. You won't come to the theatre to see anything but pictures that reek with sex appeal." wealth of illustration, clear clean language and intelligent but forceful delivery, his sermons would be acceptable anywhere, and if syndicated and published, would be read by all classes. Dr. Adams is a student and an able expositor of eugenics and social economics. A few months ago he was invited to deliver an address on "The Church and Its Social Prob- The public in this world demand what they get, and get what, they demand. No tyrant ever sat on a throne that wasn't kept there by an overpowering army of flakies. No oppressive laws were ever enforced without the sanction and co-operation of servile subjects. The politics, social conditions and religions are what the public demand. Pliican, social leaders and clergy know what the public want, and give it to them. If the public did not demand war there would not be any. If the public did not demand a society with useless exploiters to top and useful workers at the bottom such a society could not exist. The world is rotten, because, the public want it to be rotten, and the rotten movie sthat the film stars picture merely portray the rotten public want the rotten movies. And the film stars do not begin to picture the rottenness of the rotten public. Only a small fraction of it. The daily papers far outstrip the film stars in featuring the rottenness that the rotten public demand. If the public wasn't rotten it couldn't stomach the rotten dailies. The dailies do not only reek with sex appeal, society scandals and shady stories but they also reek with brazen lies, which are worse. They picture exploitation and war as the Gospel of Christ, and put a halo on the heads of scoundrels. And the rotten public swallows it whole. Swallows it with a rotten relish. Here is an example, picked at random: Ge-bs-nah-gewn-wonce, a Chippewa Indian, died the other day, at the age, it is claimed, of 137. He remembered the war of 1812. In comenting upon the death of the aged Indian, a prominent daily remarked: "The Chippewa Indian in his 137 years knew less of life than Napoleon knew in ten seconds, as he took the crown in his own hands and put it on his head. It is how much, not how long you live that counts." This reeks with nothing more nor less than a psychological appeal to pattern after the life of a bloodthirsty Napoleon instead of a simple-hearted Chippewa Indian that lived long in the land of his fathers. Ga-bo-nah-rewn-wonce was not great in the eyes of the rotten public. He lived too close to nature and too far from the haunts of plutocracy and novelty, crime and hyporisity to become great. He never butchered his way to a throne as the great Napoleon did. He never made any millions cornering the necessities of life. Never even gave a dollar to convert the Heathen. Didn't know a thing about secret diplomacy, or how to stampede a rotten public into war. He was a failure, this old Chippewa Indian—krew nothing of real life—knew less than the short-lived Napoleon, the master genius of murder, and idol of a rotten public—Hamilton (O.) Press.

ADAMS COMMEN- DED BY REV. J. T. SMITH The purpose of this article is to commend the work of one of the most consecrated and conscientious workers in the vineyard of the Master. I have reference to Dr. R.*A. Adams, of Kansas City, Kansas, who has just closed brief religious and social welfare campaig nin our city, Parsons, Kansas. However, this will simply be added to the hundreds of testimonials recommendations and endorsements from people of great prominence, all over the country. As a preacher, Dr. Adams has, no superior. This, may seem strong, but it is true. For symmetrical construction, wealth of illustration, clear clean language and intelligent but forceful delivery, his sermons would be acceptable anywhere, and if syndicated and published, would be read by all classes. Dr. Adams is a student and an able expositor of eugenics and social economics. A few months ago he was invited to deliver an address on "The Church and Its Social Problems" before the ministers of the Negro Methodist church of Chicago. In introducing him, Presiding Elder Dr. J. M. Henderson said, "In regard to investigation of social problems in this country, Dr. Adams is possibly the best informed man among us." In our city, three week-day meetings and one Sunday afternoon meeting were held for women only. The subjects discussed were: Heredity, Facts and Effects; Importance of Pre-Natal Influences; Cause of Physical Degeneracy, and Ideal Womanhood. These addresses were heard by hundreds of women who left their work to attend these meetings. At times many of the women rose up enthusiastically to cheer the speaker. They read resolutions commending the work and the worker. The meeting for men only was largely attended and the men pronounced the address on Exalted Manhood the best they ever had heard. Dr. Adams' books, The Social Dance, Exalted Manhood, Syphilis, The Black Plague, The Negro Girl, Cause of Physical Degeneracy, Philosophy of Marriage Failures and articles on eugenics and social economics are evidence of careful research and extensive preparation in this field. In regard to recommendations, Bishop Lee pronounced Dr. Adams to be a "safe, sane respectable and respected evangelist." Bishop Coppin openly declared that Dr. Adams is nearest to his conception of what an evangelist should be. Bishops Connor, Jones, Ross, Beckett, Carey and Parks have highly commended him. Dr. Adams talks of returning to the pastorate, because of lack of co-operation, but this man with this wealth of so greatly needed information is needed in the field to go from place to place and enlighten the people along these much neglected lines. I advise every minister who desires the services of an able, experienced, reliable worker in the evangelistic and social welfare field, to correspond with Dr. R. A. Adams, 634 Franklin avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. WEST PLAINS, MO., DOTS Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Allison lost their little 17-months-old baby last Friday. April 7. Last Sunday was a great day blessed with a splendid service all day. Sunday school opened at the usual hour, 10 a.m., by our worthy superintendent, Miss Lois Thomas. Bible Class No. 1, taught by Mrs. Emma Lewis, wife of Pastor Lewis. It was well taught. No. 2, taught by Master Henry Farrar, reviewed by pastor, which was indeed fine. He brought out many good things. He especially dwelt upon the age and possibility of the young boys and girls, and their loyalty to God, and their love for God's service, to become great men and women Loyalty to their country and country's flag. Told the reason of the rise to leadership by Jonah, the boy king. After Sunday school hour, praise service by Brother J. C. Cleggett. Pasto Lewis preached a very strong sermon Joshua 3:21. And she bind the scarlet line in the window. Subject: Hang out your sign. It was indeed a powerful sermon. The Rev. Paterson, ex-pastor of First Baptist church of this city, was present and he spoke in the very highest terms of Rev. Lewis, and said we had a great leader and a great preacher; he is highly respected by the two races of mankind here in West Plains, Mo. and all the sinners. One addition. B. Y. P. U. at 6 p. m., Mrs. Minnie Jones, president, was indeed a wonderful treat. Mrs. Jones was really at her best, in her efforts to make the B. Y. P. U. the banner night, since its organization. No. 1 Group entertained all the rest. Paper by Mr. Edgar Thomas: Bible reading by Miss Floyd Rector. Solo by Mrs. Minnie Jones, our worthy president. Remarks by Mrs. Emma Lewis, Mrs. Elizier Thomas, Mrs. Maree Blanton and Mrs. Hannah Givehand, president of \/. H. & F. M. S. of Mt. Olive and vice president of Woman's convention of Southwest District Association. Mrs. Emma Lewis and Mrs. Maree Blanton joined the union. About 40 attended the union. Collection better than any previous sessions. After some timely remarks by pastor, union closed, looking forward to the best Easter program ever pulled off or rendered in West Plains, Mo. An old fashioned speaking meeting was in evidence, and the spirit of the Lord ran high. Many testified for the Lord. After which our pastor, Rev.

She is a collego woman, and her life is devoted to helping others. But then why take up time just now, for I have many things to tell you about this couple. It is worth a trip to Tuskegee just to see that bronze monument. It is eight feet tall, resting on an eight-foot artistic base. The entire monument forms a crescent seat which is more commonly known as an exedra. At either side of the bronze figure are these striking words which were taken from Dr. Washington's writings: "We shall prosper in proportion as we learn to dignify and glorify labor and put brains and skill into the common occupations of life." On the front of the pedestal are these words: BOOKER T. WASHINGTON 1856-1915 He lifted the veil of ignorance from his people and pointed the way to progress through education and industry. At the left side facing the figure are these words: There is no defence or security for any of us except in the highest intelligence and development of all. At the right side, facing the figure are these words: I will let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him. The inscription at the back of the monument follows: This monument is erected by contributions from Negroes in the United States as a loving tribute to the memory of their great leader and benefactor. Monument is erected from contributions of 100,000 Negroes. To me this was a great occasion—a great occasion to the civilized world, and I praise God that I was here to see it. He was one great American and his color had nothing to do with his standing, with his worth to the country which he loved and served as well has the people. The Founders Day exercises were conducted in the chapel of 1^th school, and that noted edu- Dr. Robert R. Moton, presided. He was surruonded by brains and brainy men and women. Fully five thousand people were in the chapel and took part in the exercises. Dr. Robert R. Moton presided, and he was at his best. I think it fortunate that God had him all ready to take up the work. Way back yonder years ago, Dr. Moton put himself where God could use him, and he is being used to the glory of God and the uplift and betterment cf the whole race. It was to me a source of pleasure to see him, and to come in touch with this great man. The speakers in the chapel were Hon. Josephus Daniels, Dr. George C. Hall and Dr. Buttrick, chairman of the general educational board. These were three strong speeches, and I wish you could have heard them. They all paid tribute to Dr. Booker T. Washington. There were many other speakers who had their say, and who spoke right out in church. I mean at other times. Then followed the unveiling. It had been raining, but that had nothing to do with the crowd, for they were there. Dr. Emmett Jay Scott, of Washington, Dr.-C., who served as secretary to Principal Washington, and the school, and Dr. Moton for so many years, presented the monument to Mr. Wilcox, chairman of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Scott made a wonderful address in this presentation, and then followed the speech of acceptance by Chairman Wilcox, and I just looked and looked and listened and listened. until I felt like shouting. But it is all over for this time. Booker T. Washington lived for humanity and while he changed worlds, he is still serving. God has cared for him and his. I will have more to say. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

THE KANSAS CITY ADYOCATE, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS SNOW IN APRIL The next governor of Kansas was in town the other day. He told us so. The man who has a grasp on Senator Capper, by which he can shake him bald-headed if he wants to. All of which goes to introduce Mr. George B. Snow, who has an adresss in Topeka an da home wherever he hangs his hat. It will be seen by reference to Mr. Snow's platform that he intends to abolish the Kansas senate and with it the senators. In speaking of this Mr. Snow said: "I do not bear malice toward any particular senator, but find, from acquaintance with a good many that they are wasting their talents or rather, misplacing them. There is not a senator in the state of Kansas who would not qualify as chauffeur of a one-dhorse garbage wagon. As the garbage question has come up in Kansas City again, each senator could find employment at the vocation he is best fitted for and there would be no suffering euse by reason of senators losing their jobs. By winter time, when garbage removal ceases, except in restaurant soup, the senators who would then be familiar with garbage could secure jobs in sausage factories." Mr. Snow was especially pecved at the editor of the Daily Kansan because he would not publish the platform. "I am going over to see Charley Sessions," he said. "I have alreay telegraphed Senator Capper. Senator Capper has to do what I say. I have him by the hair, just like that," and the next governor exended his hand, with outstretched fingers, as if grabbing firf the major portion of a dish of mush. Mr. Snow was somewhat coldly received by his comrades of the Ku Klux Klan. The local grocer who claims to be the Grand Whangdoodle of the order refused even to regale Mr. Snow with a piece of musty cheese. Mr. Snow inferred from the tenor of his conversation that if he saw fit he might leave the order to its fate and get out altogether. Mr. Snow is a man without faults. He does not drink, smoke, gamble or wear garbers. He is modest to the core and will not board a street car directly behind a lady who wears pink bloomers. Here is the platform Mr Snow stands, walks and runs on: . I am in favor of repealing the following: 1. School dental law. I am in favor of enacting the following: 1. Cut all state, county and city officials, school teachers and professors to a maximum wage of not to exceed $200 a month. 2. Postpone all building of hard-surfaced roads for a period of five years. 3. To abolish the state senate. 4. Legislature to meet every four years. 5. Clean up the state university at Lawrence. 6. A tax of 1 cent per gallon on gasoline and the proceeds to go on the roads of that county. 7. To abolish the state highway commission. 8. To disfranchise non-property owners vote on public improvements. 9. To abolish all middle men. 10. A bill opposed to war in any form or for any cause. 11. A bill providing for the payment of all hard-surfaced roads by the whole county. 12. A bill providing for modest dress for women. 13. A bill to cut out all unnecessary appiriatins. 14. A bill requiring all garage owners and helpers to pay a state examination and secure a license. 15. Reduce all salaries of appointed officials. 16. A bill acknowledging their inherent right of all farm and city laborers to organize and bargain colectively. 17. A bill giving municipalities sufficient bonding power and the right to take over and operate public utilities, establish municipal markets and conduct of other municipal activities essential to the welfare of the people. 18. A blanket ballot for primary elections that will permit the full expression of the people in the choice of public officials regardless of party affiliations. 19. A moderate income tax based on methods permitting access to federal income tax records so that all intangible property now escaping taxation in this state may be fixed. 20. A law providing co-operative buying and selling on the part of elevators or shipers on a basis of the amount of grain awaiting shipment, and further amendment of the laws to compensate the shippers of grain for leakage in transit. 21. Laws encouraging co-operative buying and selling on the part of the producer on the farm and in the city, to the end that the producer man be enabled to purchase commodities without paying excessive charges of distribution. 22. A bill for the initiative, referendum and practical recall, to the end that impartial oppression and un-American laws must be repealed and the constitutional rights of our citizenship, protected as guaranteed and set forth in the constitution of the state and nation and that unfaithful public servants be retired to private life. 23. Law pensioning the aged and thereby abolishing the county "poor house." 24. Law prohibiting the holding of large tracts of land for speculative purposes and all such tracts made available for purchase by home builders. 25. Law giving the farmers and laborers the right to act collectively in establishing their own banks and thus be of mutual help to each other. 26. Legislation for the benefit of returned soldiers, sailors or marines of the World War, that will place them on an equal footing with those who did not offer their lives in defense of their country. 27. A bill for the immediate and effective enforcement of the profiteering laws; if present laws be inadequate, them additional legislation that will put profiteers behind the bars and not licensed as now by a system of fines. 28. Abolish all unnecessary deputies. A wild looking individual rushed into the dentist's office and confront him with: "Do they give a fellow gas here. Honest, now, tell me." "Yes, sir." said the dentist. "Yes, sir," said the dentist. "Can a fellow feel anything at all when he takes it?" "No." "Well, I'll take it." The method suggested by the Kansas City, Mo., chief of detectives to prevent holdups of bank messengers is a good one. That is, that the bank messengers disguise themselves. A bank messenger disguised as a hole in a doughnut or a tax assessor would not be robbed. Misses I. Godfrey and V. Robinson, teachers in Kansas City, Mo., visited Mrs. Ed Smith on Washington boulevard recently. A GOOD LIVE MEETING (Continued from Page 1) unging membership in it, among them I. F. Bradley, who spoke of Congressman Dyer as a gentleman of the highest type of manhood he had ever heard speak, one who had his full quota of moral courage, and a clear and clean-cut conception of what it takes to make a man. And who presented it so concisely ad so plainly that one of dull power could clearly see that there is naught in playing a false role. He made it clear that you, though you are colored, can not reach or attain to the highest and best, by preaching one thing and practicing its very opposite. That such in individuals, will bring the same results that it will in governments, to-wit: No progress and ultimate destruction and ruin. He showed that we may have or claim, all that is to be had or claimed;—still, if we are void of that Pride of Race which makes us respect a fellow-member of the race; as by nature the equal of any other and capable of the same attainments—we are void of the necessary quality which makes such holder or claimant a man. Truly his statement is worthy of study and action in accordance. State of Kansas, Wyandotte County, ss.
