Jones, a Trustee, on Higher Education. St. Joseph News-Press: John B. Jones, who is a trustee of the Western University, an Negro school for higher education located at Quindaro, Kan., near Kansas City, said that a number of young Negroes of St. Joseph are either enrolled at the school or are preparing to do so when the school year begins in September. He calls attention to this school of his race, which has developed rapidly in recent years and which affords the young Negroes of this city a high institution of learning at the very doors of the city. This school is maintained by the African Methodist Episcopal church, and the congregation of this denomination, at Thrd and Antoine streets, has supported the institution for years, and St. Joseph has been honored with membership on the board of trustees. "This school has in recent years grown in service and public approbation by leaps and bounds," said Mr. Jones, "and I think that the Negro people of this city should know something about it. It is ideally located in the suburbs of Kansas City, Kan., overlooking the Missouri river. It has seven commodious brick structures, strictly modern. Much of the grounds of 133 acres is under cultivation. The campus with its bluegrass, shrubbery and flowers is as beautiful as a city park. The various class rooms are well equipped. The literary courses are academic, normal, collegiate, with degree, and commercial with practical training in banking. The graduates from the course in music are in demand in many of the best schools of the South. In the state industrial and federal vocational departments eighteen grades are carefully and thoroughly taught. "President F. Jesse Peck, who is well known in St. Joseph has forty teachers and assistants on the faculty, and they are leaving nothing undone to make the Western University a beacon light for the education of the race. The college now has an enrollment of 500, with 75 graduates last year, including two trained nurses from Douglass hospital, which is affiliated with the university."

POLITICAL SIGHTS OF THE COMING AUGUST PRIMARY Editor Advocate: Now that the political pot is beginning to get heated up, but not to the boiling point, I would like to say a few words about the situation as I see it. There is a little more than a month in which to change things and so they may change, and then I will let you know. There are two race candidates, Attorney Forrest B. Anderson and Thomas Kennedy, the former for Representative of the Eighth district and the latter for County Commissioner, second district. Mr. Anderson is opposed by a white man named Holbrook, who has been a candidate for something or other many times. If the race men vote together and they stand together on education and other things of benefit to the race, Mr. Anderson surely will be nominated. Facts about Mr. Holbrock, from men of his own race and party, will be given later. There appears to be no strong man in the race for sheriff, the candidates for which office are as numerous as the hairs of your head, that is. if you are partly bald. Bom Maher, Dave Kepler and Harry Mendenhall appear to be the favorites. The three are good men, as good men go in politics. The K. K. K. candidate for sheriff, Harry Lillich, is not causing his many opponents much great loss of sleep, as mud slinging-by a candidate or anything that will enhance race or class hatred is frowned down by the best people of the city, regardless of race or class. In the county attorney's race the present incumbent is known to every race man by his past record and the chnaces are that he will not succeed himself. A young man named Dyer is opposing Col. Ed. C. Little. He is no relative of the author of the Dyer bill and is not very well known, so it is not causing the doughty colonel much worry. As things,develop further I will keep you informed, always remembering, that to become a factor in the civic and political life of the city and county, the race must support its own men, or, in their absence, the men who have proven their friendship for and interest in the race. I. M. LE SEURE. CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Friday TEXAS WINS THE LYNCH RECORD FIRST HALF, 1922 FIRST B. Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, July 14, 1922 THOMAS KENNEDY, NOT A POLITICIAN, MAKING A CLEANCUT CAMPAIGN nigan, then ca original Matthew Biggest State in Union Head List With 12; Mississippi Comes in Second Place and the Others Fall Off. Tuskegee, Ala.—Twelve of the thirty lynchings in the United States during the first half of the year were recorded in Texas, according to a statement of the department of records and research of Tuskegee Institute, issued this week. Mississippi was second to Texas with seven lynchings, while four were reported from Georgia, Arkansas had two lynchings and one each was reported from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Oklahoma and South Carolina. The number lynched during the period is six less than for the first half of 1921, and eighteen more than for the first six months of 1920. Of those lynched two were white and twenty-eight Negroes. Eleven of those put to death were charged with attacks on women. Five were burned at the stake and three were first put to death and their bodies burned. Four of those lynched in the year 1921 were burned at stake and three were first put to death before their bodies were burned. Your vote will elect or defeat Thos. Kennedy editor of this paper, candidate for county commissioner. VOTE for Thos. Kennedy for County Commissioner, Second District. Election Aug. 1. Thos. Kennedy, the candidate for County Commissioner for the Second District, is making one of the strongest and cleanest campaigns of any candidate before the voters for this office. He is slinging no mud, but appealing to his race to stand by one of their own representatives, who, if elected, can feel assured of getting the things that are due the race of this city and county. Every Negro, who has race loyalty and wants to see their boys and girls who are coming out of your high schools and colleges have better opportunities in the world politic, should not only support Mr Kennedy, but use every fair means possible to insure his success. It is a well known fact that if the colored people of this district are in the majority and if they go to the polls on August the first and cast their votes for Mr. Kennedy he can be elected and if he is defeated it will be solely by their votes. One speaking from another race, believes the colored people should have a representative on the County Commissioner's board and what I know of your candidate, Mr. Kennedy, you have no better qualified or substantial citizen of your race in this county. Mr. Kennedy ought not just get the vote of his race, but as a citizen, should receive the votes of the best citizens of his party. As a friend to humanity and believe in every race having a fair show, it can only be obtained with the prejudice existing, by the colored people throwing their forces together and working for one aim. Not a politician, but one who believes in equal opportunity to humanity, regardless of color. Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Gatewood of Winona street, have returned home after an extended visit through the East. They report of having had a very pleasant trip and met and made many friends. ADVOCATE B. Y. P. U. GIVES A BIG BANQUET Rainbow Banquet Was the Greatest Event of the Midsummer Season—Honoring Dr. and Mrs. Vass. The Rainbow Banquet, given by the First Baptist B. Y. P. U. in honor of Dr. and Mrs. S. N. Vass, of Chicago, Monday, July 10, was a great success. It was a climax to the Bible Institute, which was held seven days at the church. Mrs. Ada Messley, president of the B. Y. P. U.; Mrs. J. M. Smith, chairman of the program committee; Mr. H. Mobiley, president of the Advisory Board, the decorating and refreshment committees and all who assisted, deserve credit for the reception. The church was artistically decorated with the seven colors of the rainbow, and there were 12 or more long tables decorated with cut, flowers and ferns. Dr. and Mrs. Vass. the special guests, were at the front table, with Prof. and Mrs. G. B. Buster, Prof. and Mrs. A. Gregg, Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Mrs. C. Childs, Mrs. F. L. Prince, Attorney D. Henderson, Father Wright, Prof. G. A. Curry, Rev. C. M. Knight. After the guests were seated, the Reserve Girls marched in reciting one of their comic slogans, and were seated at their table. After the invocation, the audience sang several songs with Mme. G. Barlow at the piano. Her little boy sang and was encored, then he sang a duet with his sister. Mr. Lannigan, who led the Reserves, then called for the paper and original poem by Mme. M. C. Matthews. She had as her subject, "A Memoir of Conventions," and told of her attending the National Christian Endeavor in New York City, the Bible Institute at the white Baptist church here in Kansas City, Kansas, where she received a certificate to their college in Philadelphia, also told of visiting the International Sunday School, convention in Kansas City, Mo., and the Bible Institute just closing. She presented a poem to Dr. and Mrs. Vass amid ovations of applause. Deacon Plow and some said "the whole program was fine, but the paper and poem was one of the very finest. Then came the explanation of the Rainbow. Prof. G. B. Buster gave a glowing account of purple; Mrs. C. Childs talked very beautifully of blue; Mrs. F. Prince talked suitably on sky blue; Attorney Henderson talked well on green, and told what it represented; Mrs. Edna Vass gave a beautiful account of "Who is Yellow;" Prof. G. A. Curry gave a fine written account of orange; and Father Wright gave an instructive account of "Seeing Red." Then Dr. Vass was called and received applause before he began to speak. He gave the summary of the rainbow, as a great symbol of God's promise. Said "out of 1430 in attendance at the Bible Institute, 41 of them received certificates. Said it beat the record of the Institute held in Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Pullem then presented Mrs. E. Vass with a fine traveling bag, a token from ladies of all denominations. Her act was greatly appreciated. Mrs. Vass gave thanks for the gift. Dr. W. A. Bawren pastor, made a good talk, and Dr. Vass thanked the B. Y. P. U., the choir and members and all friends, who attended or helped in any way. The hundreds of guests at the twelve long tables decorated with embroidered doilies, etc., sat and enjoyed the following menu: Slaw, cream sandwiches, minced ham sandwiches, cherry ice, angel food cake, pink and white mints, and VOTE FOR THOMAS KENNEDY FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER SECOND DISTRICT PRIMARY AUGUST 1, 1922 EDITOR AND OWNER OF THE ADVOCATE PHONE FAIRFAX 2663 THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER D. O., McCRAY Republican Candidate for Secretary of State. VOTE for Thos. Kennedy for County Commissioner, Second District. Election Aug. 1. Harry C. Smith, the venerable fighting editor of the Cleveland Gazette of some 35 or more years, filed as a candidate on the Republican ticket for governor of this great state of presidents. The editor of The Advocate is intimately acquainted with Harry Clay Smith and his three terms in the legislature of that state made him famous by the many "Black Laws" he placed on the statutes of his state, which stand today and are being enforced to the race's good. Harry was on the ticket two years ago for Secretary of State and to the surprise of many, polled a tremendous vote and we predict from what we know of this brilliant race newspaper editor a greater surprise is forthcoming at the primaries. Old friend Harry, your old Ohio friend and admirer, now of the west, wishes you success in the spirit and purpose you are making for our racial group. As you have noticed in my paper I am making a fight for the race in this city for what is due us, as American citizens. THE WELFARE LEAGUE HOLD ANOTHER BIG MEETING MONDAY EVE The Welfare League held another big meeting Monday night at 317 Minnesota avenue. Candidates were present as usual, to peddle their political wares. This is the fighting ground of many battles of Tommy Shnial, the present committeeman of this precinct. Plenty of ice cream and pop weer servel during the evening. Mr. F. M. Bragg, State Supervisor of the American Woodmen, was chairman. white rock water punch, in abundance. The large number which attended were greatly delighted and praised First Baptist B. Y. P. U., and the church to the highest for the largest and finest banquet of the midsummer. Notes on the Banquet. Mrs. Ewing was the special cateress. Just before the explainers of the rainbow spoke, the Girl Reserves sang a song yell, 'The Worst on the Program is yet to come,' and the great audience just cheered. M. HIGH K. K. K. MEN CONVICTED IN CALIFORNIA "Exalted Cyclops" of the Taft Klan Faces Prison Term of One to Ten Years—Women Were Witnesses. Bakersfield, Cal.—John H. Vitelle, former exalted cyclops of the Taft, Cal., Ku Klux Klan was found guilty by a jury last night of assaulting Dr. Dwight R. Mason, of Taft, by beating him with ropes. Vitelle was acquitted of a charge of assault with intent to commit murder and the jury disagreed on the charge of assault to do great bodily injury by hanging. The third indictment on which Vitelle was convicted is punishable by from one to ten years in prison. He will appear in court for sentence. Vitelle was accused of attacking Dr. Mason at the Taft ball park the night of October 27, 1921. According to Dr. Mason's testimony given at the trial more than thirty hooded and masked men were at the place at the time of attack. He also testified that his wife and three other women saw him attacked. Your vote will elect or defeat Thos. Kennedy editor of this paper, candidate for county commissioner. HAVE YOU REGISTERED?

He has nothing to do with the actual amount of money levied against your property for taxes, his sole purpose be- ing to supervise and direct the assessment of ALL ‘PROP- ERTY EQUALLY AT ITS AC- TUAL VALUE IN MONEY AS PROVIDED BY LAW.
