Now is the Time to Join The Paseo Y. M. C. A. Membership in "Y" Pays Big In Character Building. Father and Son Join Now Vol. IX Cameron, Texas.—I have certainly had a time of it, and I am still in this world and if I were not here I would be in Heaven, and I have a letter from Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart, telling me that Heaven is my home and I must be homesick. Yet I have been to the repair shop and Dr. H. W. Conrad has declared that I am out of danger for the time beng, but Dr. Diggs, Dr. Perry and Dr. Conrad declare that the worms were about to get fat and the bugs were almost gotten to the place where they could consign my body to them. I am here to tell you that when I reached Dr. Conrad, he looked at me and shook his head. You see I got there about 4 o'clock in the morning and when Miss Eva Oten had been very busy all night long with a sick man, yet she met me with a smile like an angel, and was to me at the time an angel of mercy. She soon had me in No. 4, a special room which has been occupied by Dr. J. W. Rankin, Bishop Evans Tyree, and some other big dignataries who had gone there for treatment. Well, I got to bed to let the sleep come for a little while, and then next I was reminded that breakfast was ready, and they brought it to me, but I did not feel like eating. This same Miss Oten brought the breakfast to me. She is indeed a fine young woman, and destined to take her place among the best nurses of the age. She has in her the kind of stuff that it takes to make a first-class nurse. Next came to me one Mr. Frazier and he is some pumkins. He has charge of the bath and he told me he had been instructed to give me a special bath. Well, he brought a robe, and a long white robe at that, and then I looked for the golden slippers, but he did not bring them, hence I put on the robe and was ushered down to the bathroom where they have that special medical water coming out of the earth. He put me in the tub, and handled me just like I was a little baby. Then he had me to tole myself into another room and get on a bed, just like I came into the world, and he had something with electricity, and I think he called it a wateraparatum or something else, and he started it to going and went all over my body, then when he was through the doctor came in. Dr. H. W. Conrad went all over me. He listened to what they were saying inside of me. I don't know what, but he listened. Had something in his ear and a little flat thing against my chest and side and then he put something around my left arm and made it like a horn pipe, and he listened and watched an artificial clock go around and he told me my blood pressure was 185. Next, I was carried up to that room, put in bed for an hour or so, and I slept like a good fellow. I wish you could have been there to have seen them nurses, who are under the direction of Dr. Conrad, doing for me, and then Mrs. P. G. Conrad, one of the most remarkable women of our race had something to do with me. She is indeed a wonderful woman, and has been right by the side of her husband. She comes from the Simmons State University, Louisville, and was trained by the late William J. Simmons, as was her husband, who got his foundation there, and he was just born to be a doctor, for his father before him was a great physician, and it seems that Mrs. Conrad was just born to be in that kind of work. When I was better, I got an automobile car carriage wogan - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE - TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 and it toted me up to Miss Daisy E. Conrad's, the sister of the doctor and a teacher in the high-school. She provided a sofa or something else and I just slept while she was in school all day. When I was still better, Prof. Horton had me to visit the high school. He sent out of them automobile car carriages after me, and had me to make a few remarks to the young people. I am proud to report to you that Prof. Horton is doing a big work in that city, and is making many improvements in the school work. I was indeed glad to have had the pleasure of seeing him and the good he is doing for our people there in town. Many are the improvements being made under him, and when the young people finish there he has some drilled into them the importance of preparing for manhood and womanhood that they just go right on to college. I want to congratulate Prof. Horton, his wife- and all the other teachers, including Miss Conrad. At night I was with Dr. Conrad in his den, listening to concerts in various parts of the country. He has a radio, and I will just have to talk about this another time. They are having a heluva time in Oklahoma trying to elect a governor. I think the Democrat is going to walk all over my Republican brother, and I hope he will, because the Republican brother is appealing to race prejudice to ride into office and the Democrat brother is pleading for fair play for all, whether he means it or not, I hope he will just wallop the h—l out of the other fellow. From there I made it to the State convention in Ardmore, but only spent two hours there. It was my pleasure to be there just the same. Rev. E. W. Perry is truly a leader of his people, and I was delighted to see Rev. J. T. Johnson at the bat, as corresponding secretary. He is a good man and is doing good things. I saw the editor of the Watchman-Lantern, but did not get to speak to him, and then I had the pleasure of seeing others. There was a sad time there, for the Lord had summoned the Rev. Dr. Anderson to his rest. He was active in the convention and chairman of the finance committee, and it was while on duty that he was called home. I then spent just one night in Fort Worth to keep from riding all night. It was spent at the home of Dr. N. T. Wallis, and then I made it down here where I am this week, or will not be here when you read this letter. I am special guest of Rev. J. H. Hughes, pastor of the A. M. E. church of this place and one of the leading preachers. While enroute here I met the Rev. Dr. G. B. Young, who is making headway toward the episcopacy of his church, and I am of the opinion that he is going to land in 1924, but will talk about him later. I have had the pleasure of meeting Miss Louise Helen Peachey, who is teaching industrial in Milam county. She is just one of those well trained young women, and then she is one who knows how to make her way into the hearts of parents and pupils. Her work is telling. She is not satisfied but like all them educated people who are really educated, trying to get more. She is now making her plans to go to Columbia next summer to take on some more. Last summer was spent at Tuskogee Institute, but now she is going up higher, and declares that some day she is going to make her A. B. Go right on with the good work (Concluded on Fourth Page) Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, October 27, 1922 CAPPER SAYS "MORGAN SHOULD BE ELECTED" Kansas Republicans have made an excelent choice in selecting W. W. Morgan as their candidate for governor. He will make a first-class executive. I have known "Billy" Morgan intimately for 35 years. I know his quality as a man and friend and public servant. He grades "A1" in all. He has come all the way up from the grass roots making his own way unaided, without a fluke. There is no spot on him. He has always stood for the best things without skidding. He THE MORGAN W. Y. MORGAN has old-fashioned common sense, is not self-assertive but is a sticker for what he believes is right. Kansas has no finer, more level-headed citizen. He will make a splendid governor. Born the son of a pioneer Kansas editor, in the 40 years or more as boy and man he has been in Kansas. Morgan has proved his ability as a business man and as a legislator. To create an influential state news paper from a "shoestring" requires the sort of genius and range of power and knowledge that a governor should possess. He has made the Hutchinson News one of the state's strong papers. To this knowledge of Kansas men and Kansas matters he has added four years as lieutenant-governor and several terms in the legislature and as state printer. His interest in young Kansas is attested by years of service as the head of Hutchinson's Y. M. C. A. Morgan's platform is admirably tense and strong. To sum up, I think W. Y. Morgan will make Kansas an able governor and I do not think the home folks can do better than to finish the job by electing him. ARTHUR CAPPER. Washington, D. C. A Letter From U. S. Senator Charles Curtis I have just finished reading the Republican State-platform and I want to congratulate the Republicans upon their good work at the Party Council. It is a splendid platform and one upon which the Republicans can well afford to go to the people. With such a platform and with the ticket nominated at the primaries, the Republicans should win a great victory at the November election. Hoping the entire ticket will be elected, I am with kindnest regards. Very truly yours, CHARLES CURTIS.

Thirty-nine years ago I graduated from the University of Kansas in this District as Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Didactics, and in 1886-as Bachelor of Laws, and in 1892 as a Master of Arts, receiving my education here. In 1898 as Lieutenant colonel, commanding, of the 20th Kansas Volunteers., I took that regiment in three trains to San Francisco, one-half of them coming from this Second COL E. C. LITTLE COL. E. C. LITTLE Republican candidate for reelection to U. S. Congress, Second District. Congressional district. After taking part in a dozen of their battles, in the Philippines, in several of which I commanded the regiment, we came home in 1899. Thirty years ago I was appointed by President Harrison to be Diplomatic Agent and Consul General to Egypt, which office is now known as that of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Egypt, and in 1892 I was elected delegate-at-large to the National Republican Presidential Nominating convention at Minneapolis. In 1914 when we had a nonpartisan judiciary, I was defeated for that office by 202,000 to 196,000. This Second Congressional district I carried by about 10,000 majority, carrying Wyandotte county by 6,700 majority. In 1916 when President Wilson carried this district by 5,500 majority and the Democratic party had nominated for a fourth time the Democratic congressman who had carried the district three times, Little carried the district by 4,000 votes. In 1918 his majority was 9,200 and in 1920 he received a majority of 16,500, the largest ever given in the Second Congressional district. He has been renominated for the fourth time by a lead of 8,600, carrying every county. Permit me to call your attention to my record for six years in Congress on which I stand, making my campaign on what I have done and not on what I promise. At the beginning of his second term, Little was made chairman of the Revision of Laws committee, of which William McKinley and Benjamin F. Butler were formerly chairmen. At the beginning of this last session, Little was offered the chairmanship of the Committee on Irrigation, but declined. He is the ranking member also of the Committee on Claims, the oldest committee in the House and one of the five committees which still have authority to bring in appropriation bills. He was also chairman last year of the committee of five soldier congressmen the House sent to New York harbor to meet the remains of 7,000 dead heroes coming from France, Senator Lodge being chairman of the Senate committee for that purpose. The night war was declared Little, drew and introduced his bill to esathligh a 20-mile pro- TWO HOWARD BROTHERS KILLED WHILE ASLEEP ON KAW VALLEY LINE TRACKS THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER On last Friday afternoon, the three Carson brothers, Howard 13; Oscar, 11, and John, Jr., 10, left their home at 609 Troup avenue, as has been stated, to gather walnuts in the country, but changed their minds and walked the Kaw Valley interurban car line towards Lawrence, some 40 miles, to visit their grandfather, who lives in the country near that city. Night evertook them and being tired, according to the story of the youngest, they sat down on the track to rest and fell asleep, when an interurban car came along and struck the trio, killing Howard outright, the body being badly mangled, and Oscar was so badly hurt that he died later at the hospi- hibition zone around every camp and fort, which was the origin of that method of protecting the army, and which plan was soon made effective by an executive order establishing a prohibition zone about the camps, an accomplishment which gave us a sober army and precipitated the discussion of the prohibition amendment passed in that Congress. On the third day of the 66th Congress, by designation of Hon. James R. Mann, the committee chairman, Little opened the debate on the woman's suffrage amendment, occupying one-fourth of the time assigned its friends. In the 65th Congress, Little drew and introduced his bill to put all the other soldiers and officers of the republic on a par with those of the regular army, which was followed in a few weeks by an executive order doing this. As chairman of the Revision of Laws committee, he prepared his great bill to establish the Code of all federal, general and permanent laws, and on his motion the house suspended the rules and passed that largest of all bills unanimously without its being read. Never but once before 48 years ago, and then at an expense of $100,000, was such legislation enacted, Little expending only $13,000. In the 66th Congress, when Venable of Mississippi in advance of the expected debate on the Peace Resolution presented his scholarly and elaborate argument against its constitutionality, by assignments of Mr. Cannon, Little was immediately given time to reply extemporaneously which he did, presenting the argument that the Congress which alone of all authorities could declare war and start a fight must under the constitution have the power to declare peace and stop a fight, a position which Mondell, the Republican leader, said that evening would be the position of the Republican party in that debate. In November, 1921, by direction of the floor leader of those who favored a 50% surtax on incomes of $300,000 a year and over, Little of Kansas opened the debate for those who favored that measure which increased my 20% the taxes on the men who made millions during the war and decreased it on all those who had incomes of less than $100,00 a year. In preparing the great federal code bill, he saved the taxpayers directly $298,500. On June 26th and June 30, 1919, when the conference report came back to the House on the army bill increasing it by $125,000,-000, the leaders having given up hopes of further economies, he reopened the debate, and as a result of that debate the House cut off $100,000,000 of the appropriation and saved that money for the taxpayers; which would have been spent but for the fight Little started. Days Big In BROTHERS LE ASLEEP ON EY LINE TRACKS tal. The third boy, John, was thrown to one side, but escaped with a few bruises. They had nearly reached their destination when it happened, it occurring near the little village of Bismark. Howard's body was taken to an undertaker in Lawrence and Oscar was taken to a hospital in the same city, where he died. The youngest boy, John, was brought back to Kansas City, where he told the story of the sad accident. The father of the boys, John Carson, Sr., is a mail clerk and is employed at the Terminal in Kansas City, Mo. The family have the deepest sympathy if a host of friends in the sad and untimely death of their two sons. At the request of the chairman of the Judiciary committee and the author of the Dyer antilynching bill, Little of Kansas presented an extended legal review of the question of the constitutionality, showing the fallacies of those who attacked the bill on the ground that it was unconstitutional. On February 1,1919, Little made the speech which started the fight on Col. Peck's disgraceful attitude to the Kansas and Missouri soldiers, and presented the history of their gallant achievements. In the early days of the war Little spoke on the conditions and military opportunities in the Orient, and presented a full statement and analysis of the rights and wrongs and possibilities of the Armenians, a speech which was reprinted in three languages and considerably circulated abroad, being, endorsed by thousands of Californians who petitioned Congress to follow the suggestions of Little of Kansas concerning the Armenians. Little voted for the Cable bill giving women an equal citizenship with men. Your congressman, EDWARD C.,LITTLE. REPUBLICAN NOMINEES Congressional Ticket 1st—D. R.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. COL. E. C. LITTLE We do not feel that it's absolutely necessary for us to call your attention to the candidacy of Col. E. C. Little, our present incumbent in congress, who has so ally and conscientiously represented this, the Second district, at Washington for the past six years. But we want to remind the voters and especially the colored voters of this county and the district at large, that we should show our appre- iation, in no small degree, by going to the polls on November Seventh and return Col. Little to Congress. We don't speak of this, as having any fear, in the least, that Col. Little will not be returned and by the largest vote ever given a candidate from this district, but to demonstrate, in a large way, that we are ever mindful of those, who stand out, in the open and fight for the rights of all humanity, regardless of color or creed. We might refer to the open fight Col. Little made on the floor of congress, in defense of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and whose brain, on the constitutionality of the bill, was in a great measure the cause of its passage. We could say much for other Republican congressmen of Kansas, who supported this bill, but it's ours to take care of our friend in the Second District. W. Y. "BILLY" MORGAN W. Y. Morgan, the Republican candidate for governor and editor of one of Kansas's leading publications at Hutchinson, has long been regarded as one of the state's most reliable and substantial citizens. A thorough, practical, broad gauge successful business man. A man with a wide vislon of which few men possess. Mr. Morgan is a native Kansan and has the distinction, among all who know him, to be fair and square with every man. He being Lieutenant Governor some years ago, where he served the people for four years, it makes him doubly fitted for the office, as chief executive of this great state. If there is one thing that stands out more prominent than another, in Mr. Morgan's life, it is, he has always stood for the man with the dinner pail. His life's work is an open book. Mr. Morgan will not only receive his party strength, but thousands of far seeing men and women of the opposite party will cast their vote on election day for "Billy" Mor-Morgan. The Advocate family received an appreciative letter recently from their friends Prof. and Mrs. J. E. Patterson, of Waco, Texas, where Prof. Patterson is dean of Paul Quinn college. They want to be remembered through The Advocate to all of their old friends. It is a great day in Denmark when one can smell all-at one whiff 49 kinds of cheese. But it is a dry day in Kansas when one who travels around a little can not smell some kind of hootch in 49 different places in the day's travel. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E.

The choir loft was filled with sweet voices that went out and up—and into the souls of men and women, who drank in its every tone. The congregation was intellectually and spiritually honored with a fine sermon from Bishop W. A. Fountaine, the presiding bishop of the Eighteenth and a part of the Thirteenth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal church, which takes in South America and California. Bishop Fountaine is not only a great preacher but an intellectual giant. A more attentive audience never listened to greater discourse of theological truths, than this people. A man of large vision. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, while not back to his normal, health, is much improved and his vitality growing gradually, of which his congregation and friends rejoice to see. Dr. Griffin filled his pulpit at the evening service, to the delight of those present. He delivered his usual strong spiritual cermon. The church was honored at the morning service with the presence of our new presiding elder, Rev. J. A. Payne; also Rev. F. Jesse Peck, president of Western University. The pastor will have a special sermon for his hearers Sunday and at the same time tell us something about his trip on his vacation. The official board had a large attendance Monday night and plans are being inaugurated for a great year, for evangelism in the church and community.

Subject, Farming for God. Every one of us must be on the job in Christian service, spiritual farming. They (Israel) had been farming but not for God. You are either progressing or retrograding; there is no standing still. If you are not actively engaged in religious service you are farming for the devil. If you are indifferent and slothful the field will grow up in weeds. Hosea 10-13. Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity. Ye have eaten the fruit of lies; because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. Thousands are in trouble because they have worked day and night in wickedness, trusting in men more than the righteousness of God. O, what poor farmers we make when it comes to farming for God. We should not regard the clouds nor rain, but plow work be instant in season and out. Ecceleciastes 11-4. He that observeth the wind, shall not sow and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. But be careful what you sow. What we sow we shall reap. If we sow in indifference, we shall reap the same. Sin is a lie in its promises, it will flatter you. It is a lie in its appearance, all that gliters is not gold. Much energy and money is spent in beautifying the theatres and places of worldly amusements whose joys are transient and if any good is given in its portrait- al of characters, is soon marred by evil, but how little is spent or do we give in beautifying the church. We are not to devote our whole time to transient things of life, but sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord. Till He comes and rain righteousness upon you. As a race we have feasted on lies. From the cotton gin, rice swamps, tobacco leeds we came, fought for our freedom and a man's chance. We do not enjoy the privileges and protection we should have. The cry went up in this late war: Let us down autocracy and lift democracy. But as far as we are concerned we are disappointed. Oh, God help us to farm for God and righteousness. A whole lot of our folk after God has fed us, are running after every new-fangled doctrine. I adjure you break up the fallow grounds of the heart and farm for God. Then when famine and drought and calamity comes you will have limited field—the world. You time to begin farming is now. Then you can reap in death. Weeds will grow whether you cultivate your field or not. The harvest you must reap. So all you are required to do is to break up the fallow ground, sow and water. God will give the increase. You have an unlimited field—the world. You have an abundance of good seed, God's word. If faithful, we shall come from every quarter rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. The B. Y. P. U. will give a Hallowe'en party at the church Everybody invited.

Milford, Ohio, is swelling not only its own treasury but also that of Ohio since the Volstead act became a law. The fines brought in by violation of prohibition in Milford pay the entire prohibition enforcement bill of Ohio with much to spare. Six hundred prohibition law violators have been tried by Mayor Scott since January 1, and they have paid fines amounting to $125,000. Fifty thousand dollars of this amount has gone to the state, a sum more than sufficient to pay the salaries of all the state's prohibition officers for a year.

Y. Mor- gna, the Republican nominee Yor governor, says that by the adoption of a budget system, which will prevent extravagant and overlapping appropriations, and a better system of assess- ment, which will reach prop- erty that now- pays no taxes, they can be still further re- duced. : At present the farmer and the merchant pay the bulk of the taxes because ther proper- _ ty can be seen. Untangible property has been escaping taxation, and Morgan wants to tax this wealth, which is in the hands of a few, and ought to bear the burdens of government, thus lightening still further the load of the load of the farmer and the citi- zen of average means. In Wyondatte county the to- tal levy for state purposes was $320,092 for 1921. For 1922 it will only be $233,686. On top of this actual saving wa dollars and cents, which amounts to an average reduc- tion of about 25%, the assess- ed valuation for the state has been reduced a quarter cf million, the actual figures be- ing $3,794,827,003 for 1921 and only $3,554,812,791 for 1922, Two and a half million dol- lars will be the ottal saving te the tax-payers in 1923, oi which about 25% is a reduction in the State levy, which is cut from 2.235 mills to 1.66 mills, while the remainder comes from the cut in the assessed valuation, making a tota saving of.more than 30% in state taxes for next year. With this record tif perform- arce already accomplished, it looks like a poor time to trade an elephant for a donkey, or as Abraham Lincoln put it, “tc trade horses in the middle of the stream.” . Under a statute providing that “no person applying for a Joan can be turned away,” the state loan office, established at Vienna in 1692, has manifolded its activities in the loan, auc- tion and safe deposit business, carried on under the supervis- jon of the state for the benefit of persons in financial distress. A staff of 50 civil service employees and 200 tentporary assistants operate the main of- fice and 22 branches; and more than 4,000 loans are granted * daily. Attorney Forrest B. Ander- son was called to Higginsville, “Mo., this week on legal busi- ness. : ART CLUB CELEBRATES’ - .

Dr. Rogers compli- mented the people for so many being present. He preached a great sermon on a spiritual and racial topic. He brought out the fact clearly that, “God in His own time will lift the op- pression from our race.” He was sanctioned with many amens, and many compliment: ed his discourse. He led the congregation in the old spirit- ual “Steal Away to Jesus,” and it was so sweet and effec- tive that one man. confessed that God’s spirit was calling him to preach. At 8 p? m., Deacon Johnsoi, chairman of the deacons, being absent, Deacon McCombs _in- troduced Dr. Rogers. His fext was from Gen. 18., about Abra- ham and Lot. Subject “On the Wrong Camp Ground.” He showed very vividly how Abra. ham sought God as his leader, while Lot pitched his tent in the wicked city-of Sodom. His climax was, Seek God for peace. and don’t pitch your tent to- ward Sodom, i.e, worldly things, as they will be burner up.” But success through Gec lives forever; therefore all should pitch their tents towarc Heaven. The choir sang “Take the Name of Jess With You.’ beautifuly with the congrega tion. Rev. Broils of Waterloo Towa, made a profound Chris tian talk, also.

(Frst publshed” August 4, 1922) | BOTTLED SUNLIGHT _ A group of men. associated with the Tomadelli Corporation, 533-5385 Bergen street, Harti- son, N. J., believe they are on the verge of an important dis- covery, the manufacture of an electric’ light bulb which, when once charged with electricity, will remain lighted for a year, possibly, two or three years. It was learned that all the energies of ‘those interested in the_idea are-being bent toward the construction of machinery which will charge the lanip. The originator of the idea is Juan J. Tomadelli an engineer, formerly. of Buenos Aires. An associate of Mr. Tomadeli said that within “three or ‘four months thé -machinery ‘would be completed, and a private-de-. monstration” would, take “place. A public demonstration wil! follow if a private demonstra- tion is a ‘success. ‘Bottled sunshine” is the name given to the idea of charging eélectric lamps for a long period. ‘The lamps use? in the experiments are similay to the ordinary electric lann Instead of a brass cap ‘with a thread to be- screwed in the electric light: fixture, porcelain is substituted. Tpe porcelain bears the standard thread ou the outisde. Between the por- celain and the glass of the lamp is an alloy, the seerte of which is known to Mr. Toma- delli, Some property in the allow, when affected by a cur- rent of electricity, causes the filiment in the lamp to glow with bright light. Once charged the lamp will burn for a long time, it was said, and a shade of some sort will have to be de- vised to cover the light when it is not required. The city commissioners of Oklahoma City have adopted an ordinance requiring steam rail- roads to electrify their proper- ties within the city limits.
