--- LINEN CONTEST MUSICALE MRS. E. ALSBROOK AND PUPILS ASSISTED BY THE SOUTHERN MELODY MAKERS UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE DAUGHTERS OF ZION CLUB AT METROPOLITAN BAPTIST TEMPLE MONDAY, MAY 8, 1922 CONTESTANTS MISS LULA THOMPSON AND MISS FERRA WILLLIAMS ADMISSION...10 CENTS Vol. VIII WHITE BRUTE ATTACKS AN 8-YEAR-OLD GIRL It was the white brute this time and not the black brute as our cosmopolitan papers would speak in a case of the latter of such a depredation. Last week, after more than a month of fear, Mrs. Ola Chappell, 1829 Park avenue, her little niece, Eliza Mae Haley, eight years of age, after being out of school for more than a month with illnes, revealed to her aunt the real cause of her sickness. An agent for some vacuum cleaning company, by the name of Miles, 45 years of age, who had been canvassing in that community, watched his chance when Mrs. Chappell went to the grocery and sneaked in the house, even against the will of the little helples girl and attempted an assault on her and probably would have carried out his fiendish and brutal intent, if the aunt had not returned so soon, as it was, he had gone so far as to cause the illness of this beautiful little inocent school girl, who has been in a precarious condition ever since. The little thing was afraid to tell her aunt, until last week. Mrs. Chappell immediately seeked the law for a warrant from the prosecuting attorney's office for this brute. but claims she was turned down at the time and then took the case up with the chief of police, who arrested the vagabond and he was given the limit by that court, a fine of $500 and six months in the work house. A number of citizens then took the matter up with the prosecuting attorney for a state warrant, which Mrs. Chappell said had been refused her previously, which was issued and stating this office had never refused a warrant for attempt of assault and rape, but for rape only. Let it be as it may, the laws and enforcement of law is too lax in this city, when it comes to crime and these dogs, who are going from house to house insulting and assaulting our women and girls, should be taught a lesson by the community if the law won't do its duty. Hear Dr. Dixon, the evangelist, at First A. M. E. church. Wednesday evening of last week the G. U. O. cf O. F. entertained the new Household of Ruth, No. 5946, to a fine banquet of which all enjoyed. Miss Neff entertained elegantly with music. The principal speaker was J. S. Sanders, the undertaker, which was highly appreciated. Mr. Jackson also made a fine talk. A response to these two splendid and helpful talks were made by Mirs L. V. Terrell, the M. N. G. The waiters looked beautiful in their white suits. Mr. W. S. Rogers spared no pains or time in making everything pleasant for the ladies, of No. 5946. - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL SURVEY Standing room was at at a premium on Patrons' night, Monday, April 25, for Sumner High school's survey.

Reed, who met his untimely death by the bullet of an unknown assassin Tuesday night, April 13, while on his way home from prayer meeting, was held at First A. M. E. church Saturday at 1 p. m, his pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, officiating, who paid a fine tribute to the Christian life of the deceased. Resolutions from the church, Sabbath school, class leaders, of which Mr. Reed had long been associated and leader of Class Number 24, and the community in which he lived, were very touching. Presiding Elder J. A. Payne, who had known this character for some years, gave a fine eulogy of his life. It was the largest week day funeral that has been seen in this church for a long time. The floral offerings from the church and friends were many and large. His remains were laid to rest in West Lawn cemetery. Have you heard the great evangelist, Dr. Dixon, of Florida, at the First A. M. E. church? Here now and al next week. CITIZENS' FORUM LAWRENCE TO BE HERE NEXT SUNDAY The Citizens' Forum had quite a large meeting although there were so many other things elsewhere. The Second Regiment Band of Kansas City, Mo., rendered a fine classic program. Quite a debate was engaged in as to whether our Forum should make a visit to Lawrence this spring. Nevertheless, the Lawrence Forum will be here at the Forum at Metropolitan Tempe sure next Sunday, April 30. Don't miss it, as they always have very excellent programs. Come out and hear our great K. U. students, Lawrence High school students, and people of good common sense and talents that God gave them at birth. College training is fine, also high school training, but the best of all is common sense that God gives at birth used with education. Don't forget to come to the Forum, the oldest and largest civic organization in the two Kansas Cities, Sunday, May 30. IN SOCIETY The Fern Leaf Conscience club will give a social May 8 at 1015 State avenue, at Mrs. L. Graves'. Miss Ruth Jackson of Borer Springs visited relatives in this city Tuesday.

KLANSMEN VISIT TWO CHURCHES SUNDAY NIGHT Kansas City, Kansas, had for the second time in the last six weeks, the appearance of the Ku Klux Klan, the first appearance some weeks ago was in the north part of the city, marching about eleven o'clock at night in mask robe. Last Sunday night five robed and masked in their usual garb, white, entered the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal church in Argentine, wher they were peritted to come to the altar, with a hearty welcome, so it is said, when one of their number gave an address by permission of Rev, Geo. W. Durham. At the conclusion of the speaker, they retired, leaving with the pastor an envelope, containing a letter and a contribution. Their second visit was to Washington Boulevard Methodist church, corner of Washington boulevard and Seventh street. Here the Klansmen did not meet with that courtesy as they did at the Argentine church. They pushed by the ushers to the rostrum and asked permission of the pastor, Lr. G. Franklin Read to speak and also to leave a letter and a contribution, but the pastor refused them, unless they disrobed themselves, which they refused to do and walked out, entering their car and driving away. Maycr. Harry Buillon is a member of this curch and it is said this organization early in the week wrote the mayor for permission to give a parade during the Legion carnival, which is going on and they were turned down. The Klansmen claim to have an organization in the city of seven thousand. Mr. Tilford Davis, 1116 Washington boulevard, one of our popular mail carriers and poets, leaves tonight on his annual vacation. Mr. Davis will visit Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington and return by way of Cincinnati and from there to Wilberforce University. Wilberforce, Ohio, and spend a few days with his son, Tilford, who is attending school. Mr. Davis' friends wish for him a safe and pleasant trip. CIVIC LEAGUE The substantial difference between a mere politician and a statesman is not always observed as clearly as perhaps, it should be, nor as distinctly as it has been shown to be by the courageous acts fo Mayor Harry B. Burton. The Civic League at a meeting last night took occasion to strongly commend the high moral courage of the mayor, in his statesman-like act, at the opportune moment. Truly, it makes us all feel as members of the community, that there is a reasonable security for the well-being of all; to be found in that reserve force and power, inherent our evenly balanced and well ripened American citizenship, so ably represented by the mayor. The League voted that he should hereafter be known as the Little BIG Chief of all the community. Miss Cecil Carroll is some better, but the doctor advises her not to teach any more this year. She will go to St. Louis and visit her sister as soon as she is able. Mr. J. T. Roberts, 505 Nebraska avenue, is still quite sick. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER MITE MISSIONARY HAS FINE MEETING On Wednesday afternoon, the Mite Missionary society, Mrs. Pauline Woodfork, president, held a fine meeting at the home of Mrs. J. D. Barksdale, 1954 North Sixth street. It was somewhat of a surprise to Mrs. Barksdale's aunt, Sister Fannie Dawson, who is visiting here. The meeiing was largely attended and a very enjoyable time was had, in prayer, song and talks. Dainty refreshments were served, lemonade, sandwiches of various kinds and assorted cakes. Some of those who were present of which names were remembered were: Mrs. Woodfork, Mrs. Samelten, Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Kemp, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Bland, Mrs. Lyles, Mrs. Blount, Mrs. Miles and others. Mr. A. Sims, an old and experienced grocery man, has purchased the Cooper & Cooper grocery store at the corner of Ninth street and Freeman avenue. This corner is among the best business locations in this part of the city, as a community store and with the experience and knowledge of the business, Mr. Sims should not have any trouble in doing a nice business. Mr. Sims has greatly increased the stock he already purchased and is still adding to it every day. He carries with his fine stock of groceries a fresh meat market. B. E. Williams, well known in the city, has opened a shining stand and soft drink parlor at 1519 North Fourth street. Mr. Williams has erected a nice commedious room at this number and has it fitted up with every convenience, to give service to his patrons. Mr. Williams invites his friends and the public to call around and see his place and become better acquainted; also to get a real shine, or cool drink. Mrs. A. G. Holder, 202 Stewart avenue, has been confined to her room for two weeks, with illness. Her husband, who has been sick for several weeks is improving slowly. Mrs. Holder nursed her husband night and day for many weeks and finally had to take to her bed. These two splendid people have the sympathy of a host of friends and pray for their rapid recovery. Mrs. Floyd Taylor of Western Kansas, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay Taylor, 1143 Grandview boulevard. J. A. Broadnax, Grand Master of King Solomon Grand Lodge, left Tuesday for Chicago on business and will return the latter part of the week. COLORED AGENTS WANTED to roganize lodges so ran old established fraternal insurance society. Sick,accident and death benefits. Our agents are making big money.

While the Chinks eat rats they will evidently be speculating on how Miss Muskrat keeps her hose down and her skirts up that they won't bother her. Number 37 THOSE WHO BEST SERVE ARE VERY LITTLE KNOWN Philadelphia, Pa. — The man who lives well today, will also live tomorrow—in fact, he will just keep on living and living in the hearts of those who follow him. Some will rise up and love him, although they never saw him. Like the Christ, people saw him and did not know him, but we know Him today without seeing him. I have in mind now some of the men who are doing things in the pulpit, and in the school room. The men and women who are helping to make men and women for tomorrow. Men who are poorly paid and yet they are struggling, giving us men, giving us thinkers. I want to thank God for Booker T. Washington. He made the world know that Booker T. lived and then there are men who came along with him who deserve a smile as they pass by, and they will continue to live. and in this number I have before me right now, a picture of his form, of his modesty, of his ability as a trained man, and who is going right on serving others, pushing them to the front and taking a back seat himself, yet there is not a better trained business man in this whole country than Emmett J. Scott, and I say nothing about race or color when I make the statement. To know Emmett J. Scott is to admire him, and to admire him is to love him. He stood by Dr. Booker T. Washington during his life time, and remained with Dr. Robert R. Moton until he was called to serve his country, and from there he was called to Howard University to fill the position held by two men before, and you know it takes a trained man to do this. If you will go back a few days and read my letter, you will see where I spoke of that wonderful speech he made in presenting the monument erected to Booker T. Washington to the trustees and principal of Tuskegee Institute. He said many good things about Dr. Washington, and he was in position to speak about him as no other living man. He knew him as none other. After saying many other things, he spoke of Dr. Washington as "Foremost Missionary of his face." I would like to tell you a few things he said in this connection if you will take time and read them. Here they are: "I must not fail, on this occasion, to speak of the large and important service rendered by Mr. Washington to both races in seeking to blot out sectional animosities, and interpreting one race to the other. He was the foremost missionary of his race. He sought to overcome racial misunderstandings, social injustices, racial prejudices. Nothing could embitter him. It was his proud boast that no man could drag him down so low as to make him hate that man. He labored (Concluded on Fourth Page) Married Life A La Mode Husband (angrily)—"Waht! No supper ready? This is the limit. I'm going to a restaurant." Wife—"Wait just five minutes." "Will it be ready then?" "No, but then I'll go with you."

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Evangelist I. H. Dixon of Tampa, Florida, arrived here last Friday and started in his two weeks campaign, at First A. M. E. church, Sunday morning, bringing into the church twelve souls in his first day's work for the Master. Dr. Dixon is looking fine and says he has faith in his God, in giving him, through the power of the Holy Spirit, one hundred souls for His Kingdom, before the meetings close. Dr. Dixon is a great preacher and his logical thought and convincing words of wisdom and Christian philosophy appeals with great force to his hearers. The evangelist is stopping at the parsonage, 1111 North Eighth street. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation attended church on the first Sunday after rEaster. Assistant Pastor A. Royston preached a very fine sermon on "Moses and the Burning Bush." The lesson taught was that God was in the burning bush, and although it burned, it was not consumed. Hundreds complimented the sermon and many wept and gave vent to the Holy Spirit. Several joined the church. At 1:45 p. m., the funeral of Mr. Miles was held and Dr. Holmes officiated. The Pride of the West Masonic Lodge received much praise for their ceremony. Some of the large crowd had to sit in the balcony. At 8 p. m., another large congregation heard Rev. A. Royston preach. Again some joined the church and some were baptized and fellowshipped. Mr. Manney, a boy from Memphis, Tenn., made such an excellent Christian talk that he was loudly applauded. Dr. Harrison, who will pastor here until the last of May, is assisting in revival at Dr. L. K. Williams' church in Chicago, but will be here and preach sure May 7. He is also invited to preach the K. of P. sermon May 7. The church received his resignation kindly, but of course with regrets. The Daughters of Zion gave a house party Wednesday night at the parsonage. An enjoyable time was had and a neat sum realized. CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend to our neighbors and friends our sincere thanks and gratitude for their kindness and sympathy, in our sad bereavement, in the untimely death of our husband, father, son and brother; we also want to thank Rev. J. F. Griffin, pastor of First A. M.

Dixon, the evangelist from Florida, took charge Sunday, it being the opening of his two weeks' campaign. The sermon by the evangelist, at 11 o'clock service was of wonderful power and men and women were moved through the speaker's argument. An extra large audience greeted the evangelist, both morning and evening and closed his first day's work for the Master with the bringing in of twelve souls. The church held prayer services and consecration meetings all last week, two souls being happily converted and the church aroused and put in order spiritually for the fight now going on against sin. The attendance this week has been fine and the evaneglist has delivered soul-stirring sermons every night and men and women have come into the fold. Dr. Dixon will be here all next week and a greater work for the Master in the saving of souls, are the prayers of the church. These meetings are reaching the sinner, backslider and those who have not connected themselves with any church since coming to the city, and who are being sent to the church of their choice. Great outpouring of people's will be present Sunday and if you expect a good seat had better come early. Fifteen hundred free seats. Either the evangelist or the pastor, Rev. Griffin, will preach Sunday morning. Special music by the senior choir Sunday morning and by the Junior choir at the evening service. Always a welcome to visitors and strangers at First church.

First Baptist Sunday school met at its regular hour, 10 o'clock, with Mrs. Fisher in charge and was well attended and interest good. Immediately afterward morning services were entered into. The pastor preached a very splendid sermon from 2nd Kings 5-5, exposing the mission of every Christian to display to the world the charge given them. Evening John 29-4, showing that true followers of Christ must expect persecutions. We know from observation our pastor, Rev. A. C. Kyles, was well charged wit hinspiration when we noted the presence of his grand, good-natured mother, Sister Guinn, of Walnut Boulevard Baptist church, and this sweet little daughter, Virginia Loise, who, although among the smallest present, very fluently recited several verses of Scripture from memory, displaying two excellent features—on eof extreme brilliancy, the other careful training, a characteristic singularly present in Rev. and Sister A. C. Kyles, as well as his dear mother. Attendance to all services was good, full of devotion and collection liberal. An especial iiterest was shown in B. Y. P. U. attended with fervant devotion with Sister H. King, teacher. Revival services opened with satisfactory results, flavored with a rich opening sermon from Rev. L. C. Rice, of Kansas City, Mo. We are sorry to state Sister Lula Steward reports her mother is rather more weak than improved. Sister Humphrey Tombs is reporteh on the sick list. Although Sister Sarah Jane Hill is having some trouble convincing little Queen Esther that her laws must be kept, she firmly declares she won't have anyone courting her daughter.

KANSAS. CITY. KANSAS Church meeting at First Baptist church was held Saturday, April 22, by the pastor, Rev. W. E. Steward, as well as services Sunday. The administration of the Lord's Supper took place after morning service. We are pleased to say all present enjoyed the best spiritual feast since being in charge 15 months and all displayed a spiritual awakening. We were also pleased to have the pleasure of meeting Rev. Gillespie of Kansas City, Kan., pastor of the A., M. E. church, who was holding his quarterly meeting. Sister Edith and Mr. Robert Jarrett are the proud parents of a newcomer in their home. Sister Cooper, who has been sick for some time, is improved at this writing. Mother Nichols is not so well at this time. Whitsey. the little grandson of Mrs. Hattie Fowler; is yet on the sick list. All this talk being carried nowadays by the dailies on the subject of some nations endeavoring to squirm out of paying back the money they have borrowed from one another is having a bad effect on a certain type of citizen. The citizen whose conscience is none too tender anyway will argue to himself that if nations are not honest enough to pay their just debts it is no use for one poor little citizen to worry about what he owes some other poor little citizen. The psychological effect is very bad. After the annexation of Rosedale Kansas City, Kansas, will be the only city in the United States where citizens have to go into another state to get to and from one part of the city in another. And with the street car system in the hands of a federal judge, there is no hopes of ever getting a line cut through to Rosedale.

Tillman preached a sermon of great spiritual power from the text, "We have seen the Lord," and there was much rejoicing among the children of God. There was one accesion. Miss Julia Blake, daughter of the evangelist, united with the church. At 2:30 p. m., the Sunday school children directed by Miss Margaret Armstead, of Plaza school, and Miss Gwendolin Scott, a senior at Central High rendered a delightful program to a large audience of parents and friends. After a short session of the League the choir at 7:45 p.m., began the rendition of the best program they have ever given. The theme was the story of the Resurrection and the harmonious blending of the voices of the singers entranced all. The solo work of Mrs. Willa Mae Brown Cornell-Reeves, Miss Naomi Jefferson, Profs. Hawkins and Watson was much admired The quartet including Marice Copeland, tenor, was excellent while the dramatic scene at the door of the tomb where Mary Magdaline sought for Christ and C. C. Parks and Prof. Watson represented the two angels with the blazing cross as a background, will never be forgotten. Miss Berthina, director and organist, received many warm congratulations, as well as Mrs. Willa Brown, chorister and C. C. Parks, president. At the Sunday school rally the banner was won by the high school boys' class taught by Mis Armstead and the second banner to Sergeant Pendergrass class of high school girls. The Slabtown District Convention at M. O. P. Hall Friday night tdrew a packed house and will be repeated. All of the delegates excelled themselves. Mis. Sadie Lawrence won the quilt and Miss Maud Nelson the comforter offered by the Mite Missionary society for most money turned in. Mrs. Susan Price of Falun and her scn, John Daniels, were here to attend the funeral of ehr brother, Mr. Joe Mullen. Miss Thelma Hill, who is studying at Pitsburg Normal, stood head in a recent musical examination in a clas of fifteen, all of whom were white, save herself. She is takinig a teacher's course and doing well with all her studies. Wayman chapel is proud of her former organist. Miss Berthina Hunter, who finished at Western University last year, is studying music with Prof. Livingstone and taking French and shorthand and typewriting at Junior college. She is a very ambitious young woman and Wayman is also very proud of her. Two of our boys were home for Easter., James Reeves of K. U., and Jasper Hunter of Western University. The funeral of Mrs. Mattie Wislon will be held Tuesday She is a sister of Mrs. Tom Lawrence. Miss Dorothy Tillman stood head in the annual catechism contest held by Rev. Tillman Easter at the close of morning service and Miss Lillian Parks stood second. Rev. and Mrs. Tillman entertained the class and their friends with a pretty Easter party at the parsonage Monday night. Have you heard the great evangelist, Dr. Dixon, of Florida, at the First A. M. E. church? Here now and all next week. The state bank at Hope, Kansas, failed last week. The state bank commissioner admits that it was in a shaky condition for a year or so, but he didn't want to disturb the serenity of the officers of the institution. So while there's easy bank examiners there's hope, in Hope. By the time the Tenth street'paving work is completed it may be that flying machines will have come into general use.

THE QUAKOR OIL CO. 131 W. 31st St. New York THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS Easter was celebrated at Mt. Olive and the C. M. E. churches with splendid programs. Sunday was a big day at the Mt. Olive Baptist church. Lesson was well taught and reviewed by Miss Lois Thomas, the superintendent, and Rev. M. C. Lewis, the pastor. A good sermon was delivered by Pastor Lewis, on the Good Shepherd. Adjourned for the Methodist program. He delivered an address at the church in the afternoon. Then at 2:30 p. m., the Mt. Olive-Baptist program was opened by Mrs. Minnie Jones and Miss Lois Thomas. It was one of the best Easter programs ever rendered in West Plains. Rev. Lewis preached on the power of the Resurrection of Jesus. He preached two strong sermons last Sunday. Collection for the week, $20.08. Easter closed with a stormy benediction. About 12 a.m., the heavens were black and robed itself in the darkest clouds, with heavy windstorm, rain, hail, lightning and terrible thunder. It tore off the kitchen from the home of Mrs. Elizier Thomas and the flue from Rev. Richman's home. Some of the people were almost frantic. This is the third or fourth time that the storm has visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas. Mrs. Lena Rector from Springfield Mo., is visiting in West Plains this week on vacation. Mrs. Viola Harvey and two children and Mrs. Narcise Warner returned last week to their home in Jonesboro, Ark.. after visiting their father, Mr. M. Alexander during his illness, but is now up again. The third Sunday in May, the big rally is to be pulled off for the Mt. Olive church. Pastor Lewis is doing all he can to push things. We are still blessed with a splendid sunshine and good weather. Last week Mr. A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias for the State of Missouri, was down from St. Louis and set up the K. of P. lodge here in West Plains. He was assisted by Mr. Nutall and Mr. Farris and Mr. Chandler. Services were good at the Mt. Olive Baptist church last Sunday. Sunday school was god as usual and the B. Y. P.U. is taking higher grounds each Sunday. It was the best we have had since its organization, last Sunday evening, Mrs. Jones was at her best, assisted by Mis Lois Thomas, and Rev. Lewis, our beloved pastor. The Woman's H. and F. M. S. gave a reception last Friday night for the Mission at the home of Mrs. Hannah Givehand, the president, assisted by Mrs. Elizier Thomas, - Mrs. Alice Alexander, Mrs. Emma Emma Lewis as the committee They realized $9.25 cash, with about $1.00 outstandnig. We were pleased with two ablo sermons last Sunday by our pastor, Rev. M. C. Lewis. We stop here because we are anxious to hear from the Easter article this week. We are going to send a little donation to The Advocate very soon because of its loyalty to us, in that it gives us a space in its columns each week. We believe in reciprocity. We are looking forward to our big rally for the third Sunday in May. Hear Dr. Dixon, the evangelist. at First A. M. E. church. A Missouri side home owner sure is lucky these days of defaulting bankers, if he has no unknown loan mortgage on his place.

Junior church brings home to the children more directly the meaning of service than any other auxiliary of the church because it really gives them an opportunity to serve. The Holy Ghost was present in every pew last Sunday. Our pastor, Rev. J. R. Richardson, exhibited some of his old form and preached a very able sermon, his text being, "If thou be the Son of Man, deliver thyself." It was a masterful sermon delivered in a masterful style I am sure that all who heard that great sermon was well pleased and greatly enjoyed it for the truth portrayed and because we could see that the health of our pastor is returning fast by the form he exhibited. The Sunday school is renewing its interest in the attendance. Like of old, individuals are being urged to come out and help make the Sunday school go. Although the weather was cool, the attendance of the community meeting was good. The music in general was good. We greatly enjoyed the selections by the little ones and also the solo whistled by Mrs. Henderson. The address by Dr. Love was wonderful. His subject was, "The True Measure of Greatness." The only true measure of greatness is service. In conclusion he said he that would be great among you would be servants of all. Comie out next Sunday and witness one of the greatest music and literary programs, ever witnessed in this place.

HAZEL LOVELACE, By Guy Booker, Her Attorney. (First published March 31, 1922) I sold daily papers and blackened boots on the Junction in Kansas City, Mo, in the early seventies. At that time my business was not profitable in Old Wyandotte. I learned the machinists' trade, started in business for myself in Old Kansas City, Kansas, in 1883. Moved my business to Wyandotte in 1884; in 1886 invented a gas machine, organized a $20,000 company, the Kansas City Gas Light & Heating company, to manufacture the same and do a general plumbing business was elected secretary and superintendent of the company; resigned that position in June, 1889; to go on the road as commercial traveler a year and a half. In 1892 went back in business for myself on Minnesota avenue; in 1885 was appointed state labor commissioner by Governor Morrell; served one term; refused to take appointment for a second term under Governor Leady; in 1897 went back on road as a traveling man. In 1900 I and two others bought contract to light streets of Kansas City, Kansas, with gasoline lamps; organized and managed the Western; later sold to Welsbach Street Light company and managed that company until gas put SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AGREEMENT between W.

In 1909 went into the real estate and land business and after four years I quit; the next five years was an employee of the Logan Jones Dry Goods company, the Kansas City Structural Steel company; Kansas City Terminal railroad, where I was employed as stock clerk, when elected to this office. During this, more than forty years of dealing with business and public men, such as members of school boards, county commissioners, city counsellors, members of state executive bodies, retail merchants and jobbers. During this varied career I learned much of men and business methods, but in all my travels and business career I never came in contact with men who were so void of business ethics or methods as the members of the present board of county commissioners and I don't think if you were to travel the whole world over you could find three like them on any kind of a board. I think they are the only trio like them in the world. They have hapdicapped my department in so many ways that affects the service, where they are supposed to aid and assist. I have tried to think it incompetency, that is, they didn't know, any better—maybe that is right, yet it seems to be malicious persecution. H.

He came to be the one beacon light of hope to men of beth sections, of both races, who are groping in a world cf uncertainty and doubt. The most impressive thing, in my opinion, about him was his in- tense earnestness in seeking..to have white men understand black men, and have black men understand white men, I thank God that as his sense cf things faded he had the deserved privilege of knowing that his labors had not been in vain; that, largely though his efforts, there exists in our country to- day a better understanding be- tween the races, a growing feeling of respect for the uights of each other, a finer spirit of mutual helpfulness. Through you, Mr. Chairman, I present this memorial to the trustees of Tuskegee Norma! and Industrial Institute. On behalf of the’ donors who loved him so well, and who cherish with unabated loyalty and rev- erence his memory, I beg to voice the hepe that it shall stand here for all time, adding to the splendor of _ those grounds, and as an inspiration io the youth of his race. Its poetic significance is but a symbol of the task he so weil began. “The werkman may fall, but the work goes.on. We honor our dead most worthily by completing their | great tasks.” “May the increasing - years bring fuilest realization of his fondest hopes, that the veil of ignorance be lifted frem the eyes of all men that they may Icok upon a world of peace and harmony.” - These are but some of the things that the Secretary- Treasurer of Howard Univer. sity, Emmett Jay Scott, sai¢ about the wizard of Tuskegee Heward University is one of the foremost institutions in this country for the training of our young people, and I have told you in part about our own Scott.

I am informed that they are going to be there from all parts of the country. I hope my people will get behind this, because it is a deserving orga- nization and one that will count {or something. You will recall that when that young man was arrested in Canada, and they wanted to get him back into North Caro- lina for trial and perhaps via the short route, the way which his brcther had been sent, kill- ed by a lawless mob. The mat- ter was brought to the atten- tio nof President W. H. Jerna- gin, of the National Race Con- gvess, and he got busy.

This race of mine needs something more than com- plaints and wailings. They need money with which io protect their rights before the bar of justice, for it takes money to help justice see straight.

Her life, like her death, was so quiet and unasuming —one of those great sculs born of fiowers, blush unseen. She was to her church what the an- vil is to the stroke. Asleep in the arms of the Master, she will be remembered for what she has done. There is no flock, however watched and tended but one dead sheep is there. There is no fireside, however defended, but has a vacant chair. HER CHURCH.

C. Johnson, Sister C. P. Ages, as a committee for the Sunday school, visited the treasurer and in the presence of Sister Morris, Sister Allie Ward, and Sister Gussie John- son, went over her accounts as she had kept them for thirty- one years and -eight months ard we are pleased to say in these many years and months, she had been a good and true servant with all moneys in the sack where she had kept it this long time—a balance on hand of $9.51. This was 4:30 p. m. and then after the committee had explained to her that the money was thete and would be returned to her when she was weli, she said, “No, you have it now!” and asked this question, “Is it all there?” We assured ber we had the full ameunt of the balance, $9.51. Aiter whict she said, “I’m glad, please turr me over; I’m hurting.” Cc. P. AGEE, W. C. JOHNSON. MRS. C. P..
