MIDNIGHT MINGLES WITH THE MINISTERS IN TEXAS Yoakum, Texas. Here I am in Texas this week mingling with the ministers of this state and special guest of one of the greatest men in the race, Bishop William Decker Johnson, of Plains, Georgia, and a man who is devoting his life to making men, and helping in the work of reaching the unreached. No bishops, since the days of Richard Allen have devoted as much time on his work, and among his people as this intellectual giant of Georgia. Believe me when the Texas men united and brought back home with them the new bishop, William Decker Johnson, they certainly did do the right thing and all the people of Texas are thanking them for it, for thousands of our people in the rural districts have seen a bishop for the first time since he has been on the district. He goes in the cities, in the towns, back in the sticks—in fact, you will find him going just anywhere other people go, and his whole life is spent in making a success. He is in love with his people and his work. It is worth your trip to see him. Since he has walked and talked with the people here, little boys in the school are saying they are going to be bishops, and I wish you could just see the ministers down here who have been called to serve as bishops. God has been very busy lately calling bishops, and if all the men who have been called in this state lately become bishops, then God will have to get busy calling men to pastor, for I declare unto you, most of the trained men will be bishops and none will be left to fill the other places. I don't know as I could tell the names of all of them, but will name a few as I recall them. They are Revs. H. A. Carr, W. D. Miller, G. B. Young, C. W. McGrew, D. S. Morton, E. J. Howard, P. C. Hunt, S. D. Butler, R. S. Jenkins and there are others whose namI I will give you in another letter. All are good men and the conference passed resolutions declaring that they were good men, and would stand by the one who got the biggest vote. I know one thing, because of the building program for Paul Quinn college, and the making of a great school, the men will go up to a man asking that the general conference in 1924 send Bishop Johnson back that he might complete the buildings he has in mind and then make some other additions to the school, and they will be ready for the question to move. The men are doing this, and Bishop Johnson says that he is a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and like his ministers will go where he is sent without a question. "I am elected to serve my church," he said in answer to a question which I asked him. There is the Rev. S. J. Johnson, D. D., of San Antonio, who is a presiding elder, and who is on the shelf to be brought down in 1924 and placed in charge of the Church Extension Society in Washington, D. C. This would be a wise choice, because Dr. Johnson is a trained man, and deserves anything in the gift of the church. He took time to prepare for his work, and there is something magnetic about him which draws men unto him. He has a wonderful influence, and right by his side is a wonderful wife. He will go to Louisville, Ky., with Texas solid behind him, and there will be many other at his back. If there is any man in the church who deserves promotion, it is the Rev. Dr. Julian C. Caldwell of Nashville, Tenn., who is at present a presiding elder, and one of the strongest men in the whole African Methodist connection. He has served well his church and race, and is still serving, and he took time to become a trained man before he entered the - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 active ministry. He has worked from the mission to the station and then served for four years in the position of secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League. I think he served in that capacity 8 or 13 years, and accomplished much for the young people. I have just learned of the death of John R. Hawkins, jr., the son of Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church. I have not learned much about the particulars, but I do know that he was a worthy young man. When the young men were called to colors he was attending college, not being 21 he was not subject to draft, but he left the school just the same and enlisted in the heavy artillery, and made it over to France, where he helped to throw them 75s, and made the Germans take notice. He returned from the war, discouraged, but after talking it over with his father and friends, decided to enter the business world. He selected Chicago, where he took up real estate business and was donig well up to the time of his death. We shall meet him some day. Here I am down here, in Yoakum, and you will believe me when I tell you this is a business town. I reached here Tuesday, and was assigned to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Todd, among the leading citizens of the town, and they own their home. Mrs. Todd looked at me and laughed, saying "I told them that I would take two and iq you they have sent me twenty-two, and that preacher need not send another one. Be at home." She told me that she had an iron bed, and it would hold me, but me only, and her mother looked at me, and she considered that I was some size. I told her that she would have to feed me till I wanted no more and this she agreed to do. I have been treated like a son, and they have looked after me, because I am still a sick man. I was also in touch with Dr. R. L. Harper, and told him about the bugs that had been trying to get me. He examined my head and said he would treat it daily during my stay in town. He took so much interest in me. He is a young man, a graduate from Meharry, Nashville, Tenn., and has out his shingle, physician and surgeon. Among the other businessmen in this town are R. J. Washington, tailor; Wm. Hammon, garage and automobile mechanic; Lilly and Kuykerdall, barbers; M. C. Jamison, undertaker and proprietor of barbershop; Monroe & Henderson, cafe; Wm. Wilson, garage; Wm. Hall, barbershop; H. H. Gaskin, grocery business; Perry Hall, hotel, and there are several others. I think it would not be out of place for me to just tell you a few things about Dr. L. K. Williams. He was born in Eufala, Alabama, and educated in public schools of Texas, Hearne Academy, Bishop College, Texas, Academic and Theological course, Arkansas Baptist College; married, Miss Georgia A. Lewis, Pitts Bridge, Texas, August, 1894; one son, Lacey Kirk Williams, born December, 1906. I will not enter into his pastorate, but will say that he has erected five church houses during his pastorate costing about $86,260; paid out of debt four churches, $21,000; church houses purchased, one, $8,500; cost of other church property purchased, $23,000; number of pastors' homes built or improved, one, $1,260; total collected and spent on church property, $216,520; collected and spent on current expenses, $183,290; grand total collected and spent, $399,910; number of churches organized, 14; number of associations and women's Missionary circles, conventions organized, 26; number of deacons ordained, 76; number of ministers licensed, 17; number of ministers ordained, 21; number of persons received into the church by baptism, 3,673; by letter and Christian experience, 12,548; number of professions witnessed, 5,485; number of marriages solemnized, 868; number of funerals attended, 1040; number of sermons delivered, 4,060; number of lectures and special addresses, 12,960; and there are other things I will tell you later.

DEUTCH 507 Minnesota Avenue THREE RAGES MEET TO DISCUSS LOCAL AFFAIR On Wednesday evening more than 500 men met at the hall of the Retail Grocers' Association, 530 Minnesota avenue, of which was about equally divided in representation of colored, Catholic and Jew. The meeting was called for the purpose of getting a line on which were the stronger candidate for sheriff, Bob Maher the republican candidate for sheriff or Thos. Flynn, the Democratic candidate, as neither of these three races wanted to take chances on the independent candidate, Mr. Lillich, who they claim, is a candidate of the Invisible Empire. After some dozen or more representatives of the clubs expressed themselves, as to who was the stronger candidate, Mr. Maher or Mr. Flynn, it was nearly unanimously, that Mr. Maher, the Republican candidate was the stronger and that he was the man that could beat Mr. Lillich. A Home Girl for County Superintendent. Miss Olive I. Thompson is the republican nominee for ere-election for county superintendent of schools in this county. She has served the public well and has been a fair and impartial educator and has treated the colored patrons of the schools with the same fairness that she has treated the white patrons, in other words, she has served everyone alike, and has been courteous to all. She has shown no discrimination to any of our teachers or pupils and the colored race should be-proud of her and this is evinced by the fact that all of the colored teachers in the county schools are for her one hundred per cent. She has also made it possible for the colored children living in the rural county to attend the Sumner High School in this city, without any charge. Through her efforts additional play grounds and equipment have been added to the Vernon school and she has in every way contributed to the bettering of conditions for the colored children in the rural schools in Wyandotte County and during her administration, several times, colored children have taken prizes for their work and she has seen to it that they were accorded a square deal when competing for the prizes. Miss Thompson is well qualified for re-election to the office of County Superintendent to which she has so successfully filled and we have no hesitancy in recommending her for re-election to the position to which she aspires. She was born and raised in Wyandotte County and taught fifteen terms of school prior to her election as county superintendent. We know what she will do, so go to the polls on November 7 and cast your ballot for the only Republican woman on the ticket. A vote for Miss Olive Thompson assures the patrons another term of efficient service. Furnished Room—We have a nice front, furnished room for rent; one or two gentlemen. C. B.

Albert Miller arrived at his home from class meeting, at 1010 State avenue about 9:30 o'clock, he unlocked the door, as usual, the house being dark and quiet. Mr. and Mrs. Lyons, who had detained him on their way home, were asked to come in as his wife was out calling on a sick friend in the community and would be in soon. As he stepped in the hall to turn on the lights his wife, Mrs. Leota Miller, was to quick for him and pressed the button, and there he beheld about thirty of his friends seated. Mr. Miller was so amazed, as the most of them had just left the church that he was speechless for a time. After a hearty laugh from his guests he partly composed himself and gradually become reconciled, to say to his wife, "You certainly put one over on me." A large bouquet of lovely flowers was presented to Mr. Miller by Mrs. Carrie Miller and after abundance of brick ice cream and cake was seyed, a fine silk umbrella was presented to Mr. Miller, who, in turn, with a voice little trembly, he not entirely over his surprise, give an expression, in beautiful words of his appreciation to those who were present and made the evening one of pleasantness. The birth cake was then brought out, filled with lighted pink candles—while it was a large birthday cake, there was not space enough for all the candles, so the guests did not know the number that was left off and some are still guessing. Fort Scott, Kansas. Dr. C. R. Tucker of Atchison, will be in a ten days' revival with Rev. Tillman at Wayman chapel, beginning November 8. All are anxious to hear this great preacher. Miss Berthina Hunter is rehearsing Wayman choir for a presentation of the Queen Esther Cantata November 29. Mrs. M. E. Collins was called to Mound City to visit a sick brother. Rev. and Mrs. Tillman and daughter, Dorothy, have returned from a very pleasant visit in the two Kansas Cities. Miss Dorothy visited Lincoln High, Sumner and Western University. Mrs. Tillman and Mrs. Smalley assisted the Children's Pastor Jewel's Club in a pretty Halloween sacial in the lecture room of the church. Miss Thelma Hill, who is attending Pittsburg Normal, visited her home folk last week. POLITICAL HINTS. By H. R. Stines The time has come when all measures of the different platforms of our political parties and issue should be understood and the value of the ballot. The time has come when all American toilers should understand the meaning of law and order. The time has come that "Fence jumping" don't go and if you are a "Fence jumper," you are not straight or do you vote straight. The time has come when every man and woman should stand the acid test and show they are eligible to help make our laws. The time has come when the ballot should be used from a business standpoint. Politics is a business proposition. The time has come, when the educated ballot is calling for intelligent voters. NUMBER 12 MONEY SAVED BY COLONEL LITTLE'S CODE Ottawa Herald, October 28, 1922. In a recent speech at Ottawa, Hon. W. H. Thompson who has a law.office in Kansas City, Mo., only told why he thought that he ought to be elected to Congress instead of Little, and said that Little's bill to establish a National Code of Laws, which has passed the House twice unanimously, was full of mistakes and would not be reported by the Senate committee nor passed. In an interview in the Kansas City Kansan, September 28, United States Senator Capper said, "The Code bill of which Little is the author, is virtually sure of passage at the next session. Senator Ernst, chairman of the Senate Revision Committee told me just before I left Washington," said Senator Capper, "that he would make a favorable report on the measure, which he highly commended. You chose between Capper and Thompson once, choose again. Thompson said that the bill was very expensive and Little had been very extravagant. When a similar bill passed in 1874, it cost $100,000. In a letter of May 18, 1922, William Tyler Page, clerk of the House of Representatives, said to Little: "In the 67th Congress your Committee was authorized to expend $5,000, of which amount only $595 was spent, leaving $4,405. In the 66th Congress your Committee was authorized to expend $9,000; of which $5,793.82 was expended, leaving an unexpended balance of $3,206.18, or a grand total of unexpended balances for the 66th and 67th Congresses of $7,611.18." This money was given Little to spend and he saved it for the taxpayers, spending $5,793.82 and $595, which is $6,388.82, to which add $5,000 granted him by the 65th Congress, a total of $11,388.82, which is what was spent on this bill, but which however never cost the taxpayers a nickel. On the contrary, Little discovered illegal expenditures which he stopped, amounting to $298,500, so that the taxpayers have a clean profit on Little's Code of $287,111.18 and the government is just that much better off financially because Little prepared the Code. You will find the evidence of this in the Congressional Record of April 10, 1920, where Congressman Slemp, Chairman of the Appropriation subcommittee responded to Little's inquiry as to the result of Little's efforts to cut out a $58,500 appropriation in their bill for the Bureau of Fortifications. Mr. Slemp of Virginia, said: "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, so that the gentleman is responsible for saving the treasury the sum of $288,500." The Speaker remarked that they ought to keep Little in Congress as long as that money held out to pay his salary. Little had a point of order made on the army appropriation which cut out the annual appropriation of $10,000, for making a military Code, because Little has already done the work. If this Code bill of Little's never passes, the country will be ahead $298,500 on the investment. Quoting from a piece published in a Kansas City paper by a disappointed office seeker, at an expense of $43 of somebody's money, Thompson attacked Little and his wife and son, claiming that they get paid for what they do in Washington like other people. He said the boy is drawing a salary of $3,000 a year as clerk of Little's committee while attending Kansas University. The statement is a deliberate and malicious falsehood. The boy is not clerk of the committee and has never been on the payroll in any capacity while attending Kansas University. William H. Webb, a soldier in France, is clerk of Little's committee and has been for eight months, while William B. Trembly, a soldier in France and the Philippines, was clerk of the committee in the earlier months of this Congress.

Se TE ee ee ee ee eee Next Tuesday the political curtain will be pulled back by thousands of electors, with as many checkered minds, when it comes to selecting their choice of candidates. The peo- ple’s minds are much disturbed, in some instances, as the best thing to do for one reason or another. There is another class scattering seeds of dis- cord for loaves and fishes only—oth- ers who have studied the candidates and formed an opinion—others whose opinion is meanless, so with all these varieties of minds the candidates, with the exception of a very few on the ticket, will have to be satisfied with the results of the kind of seed they have sown. The colored voters of this city and Wyandotte county have the whole situation in their hands, as to who is elected next Tuesday. Now, don’t be inconsistent, Don’t ask any man or expect from any man or set of men to do more for the race than the race will do for itself. We have had the opportunity and we know the re-| sults. Scattered forces, are as chaff, before the wind. - ] All Stand on the Top’ Rung for One Daw: Next Tuesday is the one ddy when every citizen of voting age stands of the top rang of the political ladder, regardless, as to whether he or she, is a reprobate, hypocrite, grafter, dou- bie crosser, law breaker, bandit, hold- vy, sambler, convict, lawyer, doctor, profcssor, churchman, Sunday school scholar, minister, rich, poor or what- not—all can say, “I am your equal,” one day out of 365. There is only one other instance that man can occupy equal distinctior—the grave. Mrs. Norene Davis, 1116 Washing- ton Boulevard, Grand, Councillor of the Court of Calanthe of Kansas, has returned from a six weeks visit, stopping in Los Angeles, and from there visited at Fort Huachuca, Ariz. ona and Fort Nogales, Arizona, at which place set up a Court, having set up one some months ago at Fort Huachuca. Mrs. Davis then visited at Columbus, New Mexico, where she has a prosperous Court. Mrs. Mimms, the wife fo staff Sargeant Mimms, ac- companied Mrs. Davis home, being her guest for a few days, leaving for Camp Benning, Ga. Mrs, Davis reports a delightful trip and was shown many courtesies from her many kind friendss. A rousing Republican meeting was held Monday night at Knights of Tabor hall. The crowd was so large, an overflow crowd was address on the outside from a number of local and state candidates. Hon. W. Y. Mor- gan, candidate for governor spoke early in the evening to a jammed house, ‘who received a great ovation. The meeting did not close until 11:30. It was one of the largest demonstra- tions of the campaign here this fall. Western University band and orches- tra furnished the music. It was given under the auspices of the Third Ward Progressive Club. ‘Mr. Thomas Shinall, 317 Minne- sota avenue, who has been on. the sick list, is able to be out again of which his friends are glad to know, Mr. Shinall is known as ‘one of the aetive politicians of the city. Mrs. Nola Roberts, 1505 North 8th Street, has been confined to the’ house for several weeks with lness of which her many friends regret very much. It"is hoped that Mrs-Roberts way soon be restored to her normal health very soon. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER ~ _ OF FIRSE A. M. E.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The Publicity Committee advertis- ed so well on the board and through this paper, and the deacons and mem- bers helped to tell that Dr. Bronson, of Helena, Ark., would preach, thus causing a very large congregation to come to the Temple. At 11 a, m. he preached a great sermon on “Eternal Life,” and brought out many cli- maxes. Some of them were that: “We must not spend our lives just for the material things, but spend our lives for the honor and glory of God.” “We should live peacable, not only with our race, but with all races of the world.” He urged us to not hate white people, but to “love our ene- mies” and thus heap coals of fire on their heads. He said: “He is willing to forgive those who, persecute us, as they will have to pay the penalty to God.” He also preached on the nec- essity of all churches “saving more souls.” A fervent prayer was utter- ed by Dr. Dennis, after the sermon. After the.offertory in the envelopes, a second collection was taken for the preacher of the hour; and after a talk by Mrs. Goings, of Kansas City, Mo., a collection was taken for Western College in Kansas City, Mo. Deacons present during the day were: S. L. Johnson, Thomas, McCombs, Ford, Hulsey, Jennings, Taylor and L. Oli- ver. Dr, Rogers, dean of the College, introduced the speaker at each ser- vice. At 8 p. m. a large choir, after the usual musical opening, sang “Jesus Lover of My Soul,” with the soprano and tenor duet, beautifully, Dr. Rogers read Gen. 5:21-25, after prayer, the choir sang most beauti- fully, “I Want to See Jesus, Don’t You?” and the congregation joined in Dr. Bronson was introduced and re- peated the text, three times: “And Enoch walked with God, and he was not.” It was one of the greatest ser- mons ever preached from any pulpit in this city, He said-in part: “By de- ductive reasoning, Enoch and God agreed.” Maternity Sanitarium Meeting. The meeting that was held at Mrs. W. M. Lambert's, 646 Garfield avenue last Wednesday evening, October 25, in the interest of the Maternity Sani- tarium, was well attended. The Pio- neer Maternity auxiliary was organ- ized for the purpose of aiding the un- fortunate girls and tiny inmates of the home of whom their mothers are not able to support.

TAXES HAVE BEEN REDUCED IN KANSAS Toeka, Oct. 28.—Taxes have been reduced in the nation and in Kansas by a Republican administration, and with the help of the legislature, W. Y. Morgna, the Republican nominee for governor, says that by the adoption of a budget system, which will prevent extravagant and overlapping appropriations, and a better system of assessment, which will reach property that now pays no taxes, they can be still further reduced. At present the farmer and the merchant pay the bulk of the taxes because their property can be seen. Intangible 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 citizen of average means. In Wyondatte County the total levy for state purposes was $320,092 for 1921. For 1922 it will only be $233,686. On top of this actual saving in dollars and cents, which amounts to an average reduction of about 25%, the assessed valuation for the state has been reduced a quarter of million, the actual figures being $3,794,827,003 for 1921 and only $3,554,812,791 for 1922. Two and a half million dollars will be the ottal saving to the tax payers in 1923, of 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 of performance already accomplished, it looks like a poor time to trade an elephant for a donkey, or as Abraham Lincoln put it "to trade horses in the middle of the stream." CAPPER SAYS "MORGAN SHOULD BE ELECTED" Kansas Republicans have made an excelent choice in selecting W. Y. Morgan as their candidate for governor. He will make a first-class executive. 市 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 A. H. W. Y. MORGAN has old-fashioned common sense, is not self-asertive 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 Announcement! N. B. Robinson Laundry announces that his telephone number has been changed to Fairfax1174 Prompt, Efficient Service of course Office and Residence: 333 Lafayette Ave., K. C. K. 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. Hiawatha, Kansas. I looked and I saw someone coming—it was Rev. J. W.

PRICE FOR COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT. (Bonner Springs Chieftain, Oct. 5.) About fifteen of the mothers of our district met at the school house, Friday afternoon, with our teacher, Mrs. Lucy Price, and the children, and gave encouraging talks for what has been done and to put into effect the progressive ideas that Mrs. Price has been advocating for community work. They unanimously resolved that they are in full accord with Mrs. Price as an educator, for they fully realize that she has especially prepared herself for rural work, having spent practically all her life in the country and has written a book on "The Real Rural School." This book shows clearly that the author is in full sympathy with and understands thoroughly both the rural teacher and the rural districts. She has helped many young men and women in securing schools and encouraging them to be of the best service to the district in which they were employed. "In a number of cases Mrs. Price has been a hero, in seeing that the boys and girls of the colored race in her school received what belonged to them. Always trying to instill in the minds of her pupils, brain won and not color. Mrs. Price has received many complimentary letters from her colored ex-pupils, since she become a candidate for County Superintendent, stating they hope to see her elected and would do whatever they could, in their community towards her success, regardless to her political affiliations. Mrs. Price has always taken an active interest in the affairs of the community and is a very enthusiastic worker. She is a university graduate, with an A. B. degree! also a holder of three state certificates. A vote for Mrs. Price will insure us and the county of having an efficient County Superintendent. Clam Closes on Drake's Beak Some fishermen were out in Northumberland's straits fishing, when they noticed a, bird hopping on the water a short distance away. They thought it strange that the bird didn't fly, so they rowed over to it-and found that it was a sheldrake and closed on its beak was a large clam. Apparently the bird plunged, to pick the clam when the shell was open, and it closed on the bird's beak. Fowls Have Tails Twenty Feet Long. Fowls Have Tails Twenty Feet Long. There is a chicken in Japan known as "Tosa" which bus such long tall feathers that every time the bird is allowed out in the garden its tail is put in curl papers or else in a bag to keep it clean. Only six of these long-tailed chickens have ever been allowed outside of Japan. Some of these fowls have tails more than 25 feet in length. Buttons in Nose. Two cases of diphtheria in children were found by their doctors to be caused by the presence of buttons in the nose. One was a child aged seven years, who had been in an isolation hospital in England for eleven weeks. The disease seemed to be chronic, and the tonsils and adenoids were removed. After 18 months a shoe button was removed from the nose of the child. Almost similar was the case of a little boy of nine. This patient also went to an isolation hospital, and was cured after the liberation of a shoe button which was in his nose. Horse Fifty-One Years Old. Clover, a horse fifty-one years old, was exhibited at the recent fashion and beauty bazaar held in Madison Square Garden, New York. The horse was bred in Kentucky and the present owner has had it for 35 years. For five years it was on the race track as a trotter and pacer with a record of 2:17. Veterinarlans who examined the horse said that the secret of its long life was that it had retained its teeth. Has Poultry League of Nations.

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 appreciation, 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 vision 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.

In response to the welcome addres: by Richard Walker, ore of the stew- ards, the pastor, in the presence of a crowded house informed his hearers that the church was not a party pol- itic institution, but a receiving and transmitting station of the best that the world can afford in morals. . That the church does not belong te any special group, but to who so ever desires to make it their city of refuge; and that all men are alike in it, the ignorant, the cultured, the rich, the poor, the despised, the downtrodden; it is their city of refuge, and a wel- come hand awaits all alike.

PONCA CITY, OKLA. | Rev. M. D. Brookins and Prof. Chas E. Carpenter, “busied themselves so- liciting aid and keeping the larder supplied. The pastor and professor were most ably assisted by one of our regular and most dependable members and citizens in the person of “Aunt Eliza” Carpenter. Aunt Eliza Carpenter has been in Ponca City since it was a “City of Tents.” She was one of the first to lay the foundation of a church in our midst. She is ever faithful in lending a help- ing hand, soliciting aid, giving use of her home and of her home products and also freely gives her money to make her church a success in the com- munity. Aunt Eliza is so well known and so well holds the confidence of our white citizens that she can always raise a good sum. The A. C. E. L, Sunday School and Missionary Conventions of the Guth. rie District, have just closed theiz sessions at Ponca City, Okla. The meeting from a financial, social and spiritual point of view was an over- flowing success. One of the main and special causes of success in car- ing for the delegates was the ver- satile ability of Mrs. Brookins, the ‘local pastor’s wife, who divided her talents between the service at the piano and preparing meals for the delegates throughout the entire ses- sion. She was faithfully assisted by Mrs. Chas E. Carpenter, wife of Prof. Carpenter of the local school by soliciting. This time, beside many supplies, she brought in eleven dollars in cash. Brother J. H. Scott brought in $12.50 by way of donation. Our mayor, Mr. P. B. Lawrance, after offering the welcome address to the delegates, donated us $30, He is one of the true representatives of our white friends here in Ponca City. Rev. M. D. Brookins, who has been an apostle of the Connectional work in this state for the last forty years, bears testimony that this was the most successful convention from every point of view ever held in the state of Oklahoma.

PPR | a small position for the committee at | salary of $80 a, month and attended | night Law School as do thousands of other hard working and ambitious || young men in Washington; but he re: signed that when he entered Kansas University summer law school July 1, last, and has never been on the pay roll since. After Trembly re- signed he was during the summer va- cation beginning June 1, 1921, for | three months clerk of the committee and made q good one. As Thomp- son asked me to appoint his son to the Annapolis Naval Academy and thus give him at the taxpayers’ ex- pense a finished education, and of- fered in exchange to appoint my boy to Annapolis, I am somewhat sur- prised at his objecting to the boy working a little now and then. And in view of the fact that he had eight of his family on the payroll during the six years he was in Congress at an expense of over $100,000 to the taxpayers, I am astonished that he kad the gall to mention the subject. He did finally secure a place at Ann- apolis for his boy, and I thought best to send the son of a widow. Thomp- son’s family payroll was as follows: Thompson’s daughter, Thelma B., clerk to Contingent Expense commit- tee, $100 a “month; Thompson’s son, Wilbert F., from July 10, 1913, to June 5, 1918, $1,440 a year; Thomp- son’s cousin, George Thompson, clerk, in revenue office eight years at Wich- ita at $150 a month; Thompson's sis- ter’s husband, ——— Schenke, clerk’ in revenue office at Wichita, 8 years at $150'a month; Thompson's wife’s relative, Nita Felt, clerk to the com- mittee, $1,440 a year; Thompson’s brother-in-law, Harry Felt, minute clerk to the senate 6 years at $3,000 a. year; Thotpson’s brother-in-law, Ira Wells, Judge Advocate at Panama 6 years at $4,000 a year; W. H. Thomp- son, senator 6 years at $7,500 a year. Thompson quoted the falsehoods of a disappointed office seeker concern- ing me. I will quote the Saturday] Evening Post about him, which said, “There are two jokes in Washing-| ton; one is thej coon joke from the south and the other is Senator’ Thompson from Kansas.” The Thomp-| son family cost the government some| $122,720, and all he saved from it was’ the reputation of being the biggest joke in Washington. The Little Code bill actually saved the taxpayers real money, a profit of $287,111.18 on the investment, and Wigmore, prob- ably the greatest law writer in the world, said of Little’s Code, that it would be a disgraca tothe country if the Senate did not pass that much needed bill.” That is what the Little family saved the taxppyers. Yes, Mrs. Little is my faithful and in- dustrious secretary and will be as ‘long as I am in Congress I hope, just as Senator Curtis’ sister was his sec- retary for some twenty years. No district ever had a better servant than the secretary to the congressman| from this district. During the 66th Congress she was not only secretary, but she did most of the work of the clerk of the committee in order that I might employ revisers with that money to help prepare the Cody of our laws which had not been done for forty years and for which the fed- eral agents were making an urgent demand, because nobody could tell what the federal laws was. Her work was very highly complimented by the Review of Reviews, America’s great- est magazine, and by everybody who knew of it. During the entire 66th Congress she paid from $40 to $60 a| month out of her own salary to an- other stenographer, employed by the committee, for whom there was not sufficient appropriation. The Little) family has saved money for the tax- payers. On May 18, 1922, the clerk of the House of Representatives wrote Little as follows, after speaking of the $7,611.18, saved from the Revis- ion appropriation: “You have not availed of the lawful privilege of making desigations which would have absorbed $850, representing the so-| called bonus to the clerks. In other words, that much money has not heen “THE SWEET- SHOP” BEN GERBER Drexel 1983 720 Minnesota 3 Kansas Cty, Kansas ‘saved that, or would they have des- ignated so as to take it-in and thus run their family returns up to over $130,000? Fellow citizens, I leave it to you, as I have left, my record with-you in war and in peace for the 56 years that have passed since I settled in this dis- trict, to which Thompson came but three years ago and established his office in Missouri. : E.
