Kansas City Advocate

Do you think the Fifteen Thousand Colored Citizens of the Second Commissioner's District deserve any representation on that board? If you do you will, on next Tuesday, vote for one of your own household Thomas Kennedy. Do you want to see your boy and girl have a greater opportunity when coming out of schools and colleges than they have today? Then vote for one of your own, who will help them. Do you know we have more colored voters in the Second Commissioner's District than all the other races put together? Then, why should we allow ourselves, as citizens, to withdraw our solid support from our own home and fireside and give it to a foreign home? Don't you know, many of the race in this city allow themselves to be sold out by unscrupulous politicians, on election day? Will you be one of this party? We say no! Do you know there are two of the other race for this office on the ticket? Then can you not see that the colored candidate has an easy chance to win if you do for your own color what the white voter will do for his. Do you know the colored people of the Second Commissioner's District pay as much taxes each year as all the other races? Then why should we not have a representative? It's up to you, on Tuesday, August 1. Let race consciousness be your guide on next Tuesday, and your vote will be cast for your own flesh and blood, THOMAS KENNEDY. KANSAS CONGRESSMAN ED. C. LITTLE'S ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION HAS SAVED MANY THOUSANDS A recent letter from Tyler Page, clerk of the National House of Representatives, indicates that, Congressman Little of Kansas has probably saved more money from the amounts he was authorized by law to expend than any Congressman ever did. When the Revision of Laws Committee passed the Revised Statutes in 1874, their Chairman spent $100,000, preparing it. Little, Chairman of the present Revision of Laws Committee, prepared and passed through the House unanimously, the Code of the Laws of the United States, three times as big as the old Revised Statutes, and did it for $13,000, a saving of $87,000, over 1874. After the work was well under way, Little asked for an additional $9000, which the House gave him to spend on his own statement without any vouchers or affidavits, telling him that he never could get through with that small sum. The House Clerk, Tayler Page, says in his letter: "Of this amount $5793.82 was expended, leaving an unexpended balance of $3206.18." This was the amount Little returned to the Treasury in the 66th Congress, which he was authorized to expend without any limitations. When the 67th Congress began, and Chairman Ireland of the Committee on Accounts, reported the Resolution to authorize Colonel Little, Chairman of the Revision of Laws Committee to pay out $5000, by that Committee and the Code, without any accounting except his personal report, Chairman Ireland said on the 26th day of April, 1921, Congressional Record, page 492, "The Chairman of the Committee on Revision of Laws has been so economical in his work heretofore that he has our confidence, and we did not think this amount unreasonable; and in view of what was done in the last session I think we may expect that he will save a considerable sum out of it." House Clerk Tyler Page, in his letter says concerning this $5000 fund Little was authorized to spend: "$595 only has been expended, leaving an unexpended balance of $4405, cr a grand total of unexpended balances of the 66th and 67th Congresses of $7611.18." Considerable of this saving by Chairman Little has been due to the fact that his secretary, Mrs. Little in addition to her own work working of nights and out of time without pay did a vast amount of work in preparing the Code of Laws for the Revision Committee. Notwithstanding the fact that Little's personal clerical force thus helped in the revision work, he did not expend $850 of the amount allowed him, personally for clerk hire, and Clerk Tyler Page says of these funds: "This together with the $850 saving, aggregates $8461.18, which you in your individual capacity and as Chairman of the Committee on Revision of Laws have saved in the three years last past." SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 INEDY IS PICK Fifteen Thousand Colored at Tuesday, vote for one or your boy and girl have a who will help them. Have more colored voters in citizens, to withdraw our many of the race in this no! We are two of the other race for your own color what colored people of the Second native? It's up to you, or ness be your guide on next ED. C. LITTLE'S ADMINISTRATION MANY THOUSANDS [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. In other words, Col. Little has saved the taxpayers in the last three years personally, $8461.18, which the law authorized him to spend, an instance said not to be paralleled, and made possible by the exceptional clerical and stenographic equipment and experience of his wife, who is the author of "The Works of Jesus," published by Paul Elder & Co., of San Francisco. This lady has been his secretary for 25 years and is thorughly familiar with all of the work of the district in Washington and has been of great aid to thousands of young and old soldiers in getting them justice. The Congressional Record of April 10, 1920, page 5916, in the 66th Congress shows that Little as Chairman of Revision of Laws, saved a total of $288,500 for the taxpayers in the administration of the War Department. On that date, Mr. Slemp of Virginia, Chairman of the Fortification SubCommittee of the Appropriations Committee, said to the House, replying to Mr. Little's question, that: "The War Department withdrew the estimate of $58,500 for that Board for the coming fiscal year, and will return to the Treasury Department the unexpended balance in that fund of $230,000, or a total of $288,500, so that the gentleman is responsible for saving to the Treasury, $288,500." Mr. Mondell: "That is worth while." On June 26, 1922, the House Conference Committee came back from the Senate Conference with the military bill which the Senate had increased $125,000,000. After everybody else had given up. Little started a fight June 26th, which ended June 30th, which cut $100,000,000 off of that bill and saved the taxpayers that much money, as you can see in the Congressional Record of June 26 to June 30, 1919. Read the Record. The Second. Kansas District can well afford to challenge any district represented by a man who is only serving his third term and has accomplished a record of economy.

The sessions of the Grand Lodge are being held in the Community House, Tenth and Franklin streets, and the Grand is meeting in the Supreme court room of the Gary County Court House. They will be in session until Thursday evening, and the local Knights and Calanthes have arranged a number of social events to be pulled off between the sessions. "Better homes, better farms, better churches, better schools, better boys and girls and better men and women," is the slogan of the two bodies, and Grand Chancellor S. H. Thompson, M.D., of Kansas City, Kansas, in calling the grand lodge to order, declared that the Negro Knights of Pythias stood for higher manhood and womanhood, and were to the man opposed to crime and criminality, mob violence and lynching—in fact everything which would mar happiness and wreck manhood. "We believe that God intended that Kansas should be the garden spot of the world," said Dr. Thompson, "and we are working to help to make cur beloved state all that God intended it should be. We are no complainers and grumblers, but we are doers. We do, not seek favors because of our race or color, but we seek the measurement of a man, and want that every man and woman shall come up to the standard, and if not then let us stand aside like others who are unworthy. "We are here this week to transact business for others. I want to thank the people of Junction City for the very fine arrangements they have made. You have given us a fine place to meet. We represent the best there is in the race, and we appreciate your fine treatment." In keeping with the ritual the grand lodge was opened. the Rev. Dr. J. R.

Thompson, for the strong men who made up the grand lodge, and then he prayed for the health, prosperity and happiness of the president of the United States, the governor of Kansas, the mayor of Junction City, and all the state, county and city officials. He told God about the critical times faced by the United States, and asked God to direct the people in the proper settlement and adjustment of the affairs of strike, both rail and coal. Dr. Ransom petitioned the throne in interest of those who were being burned at the stake, lynched without due process of law. "Amen" came from many throats, as the prelate told God about mob violence, lynching and lawlessness." With the appointment of Edward Gordon, W. W. Barfield and J. T. Taylor, as committee on credentials, the proclamation assembling the grand lodge in 28th annual session was read by the grand keeper of records and seal, J. E. Lowry, the grand lodge was opened in due form. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, of New Orleans, the wizard of the order, and one of the most noted men of his race, was presented to the grand lodge and was given an ovation. It was the first time in the history of the order that the Supreme Chancellor had visited Kansas, and he received that warm Kansas welcome, as only the people of Kansas can give. "I am proud of Kansas," he said, "the state of Carrie Nation, the state that was brave and strong, enough to take a stand against that destroyer of huan life, whiskey. Then you stand for the protection of human life. I admire your governor for refusing to allow a man to go down to Arkansas to be lynched. It took a man to do that, and I am told by many that Governor Allen is a man, every nch cf it. "I am proud to be in a state that is a enemy to ignorance and believes in placing within the reach of every one an education. May the good work continue. I shall have something to say about the general condition of the order later. I am glad to be, with you." There were a number of committees appointed. The business of the grand lodge will be pushed.

In fact there are numberless sphere, which could be taken care o fwith trivial effort. In fact there are nubmerless things which the average citi- zen would do, if time would be given to thoughtful considera- tion, but a large majority of the people have been so accus- tomed to having some one else do things for them, until now, they just take it for granted that all things must be done by the other fellow. In the community where we reside’ is tlie’ first place where wwe are exvected to help do, and td help move things along, but in too many instances there is a lack of forethought and will power on the part of the citi- zen, when time comes for doing things in due season, and in Proper places. . . The average citizen is not in- clined to carelessness, and is not neglectful of his duty in- 4entionally when we come to think about it, but just so many times reasons that he has other things more important to look after than his duty. In_a few days the primary election will be upon us, and as a yart of the citizenry of our great commonwealth, we will be ‘called upon to register our choice for those candidates who are to be voted for at the November election. At the primary there will be found on "the ballct the names of severe] men of our group to be voted on for nomination. Let us as joyal men and women exhibit that degree of integrity that will enable us to go to the polls and give our strength to men of our group who have pve- ‘pared themselves to shoulder the full responsibility of a higher eitizenship. °° « TR government that succeeds best is the one that gives rep- resentation in each community to those citizens who are com. petent, worthy, and willing to “serve the highest interests ot the government.

We have the training of the boys and girls, thus we are the makers of the men and women. "The future of the race in this country depends on the training of our boys and girls in the home. There is where the foundation is made upon which the man or woman must build, and with a defective foundation will mean the tumbling down of the building. We are the women who are to see to it that the boys and girls are kept from the streets at night, and kept in the school room. We are to see that they are taught the way up in life, and if we neglect them—well, it will mean more jails, more police officers and more disgrace. "We are proud to be here, and we appreciate the fact that the members of both races are contributing to our happiness and to our stay here. I am glad to see so many of you here, and I believe that we are going to accomplish much for our people. We are lovers of Kansas, and believe it our state." The women were patriotic in their opening exercises, and following the ritualistic opening, Mrs. Davis appointed as committee on credentials, MissBertha Garrett, Miss. Elossie Wilson. Mrs. Georgia Ware, and as committee on rules, Mrs. Edith Summerville, Mrs. E. J. Woods and Mrs. Salie Wigley. There were several short addresses made during the morning session.

Bird's administration has placed hundreds of houses and hundreds of acres of land on the Tax Roll which have been carelessly omitted by his predecessors, thus relieving the tax burden of the conscientious taxpayers who have listed all their property at a fair value The Valuation placed upon your property has nothing to do with the amount of money actually paid for taxes, provided all property is assessed Equally. The amount of your taxes is determined by the various Levying Boards such as the State, City, County, School Board, Drainage District, School District and Township Officials, when they compile the budgets of the amounts to be expended by their respective departments.

Too long have we scattered our re- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE sources. We have shown a sputtering, disunited display of power. We have offered distracting interests. Right here in our city is an opportunity to throw off the Spit Devil characteristics and rise to the majesty of the sky rocket with its bursting glory of stars and rending thunder scrinding its reverberations around the globe. Every time and place that we show a united front and with the help of others-place one of our number in position of responsibility the sky rocket of respect and admiration rises to the view of all men. The writer is pleading earnestly for the election of Mr. Thomas Kennedy for county commissioner for the Eighth Ward. The position is worthy, the man is capable and the cause is urgent. Heretofore we have been the laughing stock of elections because of the 'sputtering self-interfering methods used. So that, when the election was over the best that has been able to be said is "He also ran." It is high time that this be changed. Lay aside petty differences. Show a united front. Thereby we shall gain the respect of mankind. Other organizations show, a united front. We like them are on the same basis of citizenship. They put things, over. We can if we will put husband our resources. It requires the strength of numbers thinking of the same ballot. The election of Mr. Kennedy will show that one ward can get together and over the wires will flash the news that a group of citizens who for many years has been a scattered force is now a united power contributing its part for the good of all. Citizens of the Eighth Ward, grasp the far reaching and beneficial results of electing Mr. Kennedy. The question of fitness is settled. The only requirement is that each voter goes to the poles and casts his ballot for Mr. Kennedy. Organizations that would oppose us will stard in awe and ultimately in admiration for the fine united showing. You do not live to yourselves even though you do live in the Eighth Ward. You are an important part of a great nation. Elect Mr. Kennedy and thereby lend encouragement in these trying times. Yours for a sentiment, a public opinion, a cause that is greater than the incident of electing a man. G. A. GREGG. Special—Lily White Petroleum, finest grade, 29c pound.

In December, 1919, the day the 66th Congress met, Congressman Little, ranking member of the Committee on Women's Suffrage, that morning made a motion to report favorably to the House the Woman's Amendment to the Constitution. When the Resolution was adopted three days later, by designation of Chairman James R.

The 50 Per Cent Surtax On November 17, 1921, the House passed the bill containing the 50 per cent surtax on incomes over $300,000, and the bill became a law. Congressman Fordney, Chairman of Ways and Means, opened that debate for those who opposed the 50% surtax, and Chelonel Little of Kansas was selected to open the debate for those who favored a 50% surtax, and did so, and has thus aroused the bitter animosity and opposition of the big incomes to his renomination. In the primary in 1920, in Wyandotte County, the vote was, Little 7129, O'Connor 1805, a vote of more than five to 1, and a majority of 5324 in Wyandotte. Edward C. Little carried through eleven pitched battles and many skirmishes, a bullet that barely missed his knee-cap and made a wound a foot and a half long, and he is the only Congressional candidate within half a thousand miles who ever risked his life in battle for his country. To My Constituents: From my record of three times in Congress I offer the foregoing extracts. Up till the present moment no candidate against me for Congress has offered any criticism of any vote I have cast.
