December 31, 1922. I send you the following concerning lynchings for the past year as compiled at Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research, Monroe N. Work in charge. I find not including those killed in strikes, riots, etc., that there were 57 persons lynched in 1922. This is 7 less than the number 64, for the year 1921. Thirty of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law; 13 from jails and 17 from officers of the law outside of jails. I also find that there were 58 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Fourteen of these instances were in Northern States and 44 in Southern States. In 54 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards were augmented or other precautions taken. In the 4 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would be lynchers. In ten instances convictions carrying penitentiary sentences were secured against alleged lynchers. Of the 57 persons lynched in 1922, 51 were Negroes and 6 were whites; 19, or one-third of those put to death were charged with rape or attempted PROFESSOR BURTON OF WESTERN UNIVERSITY ENTERTAINED COMMUNITY CHILDREN CHRISTMAS EVE. Prof. H. B. Burton of Western University, showed the Christmas spirit by having a community Christmas tree on Sunday evening, December 24, at Ward Hall, when more than 75 children of that neighborhood were entertained to a fine program, after which candy, nuts and fruit was distributed to the children. This is the first time in the history of this community of anything of its kind, was ever had. The children supremely enjoyed the occasion and many enjoyed the Yuletide and learned what Christmas meant, for their first time. Professor Burton will always be remembered by the children and parents of this community. YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS DUE JANUARY 1, 1923. THE CLAYBORNE MARKET. J. H. Clayborne, one of our old grocerymen in point of years in business, known as "Clayborne's Market," at the corner of Tenth street and Washington boulevard, and one of the most successful of its kind of our race group, and we could say, without exaggeration, the most prosperous in the Middle West, tells us with that reserved modesty of his, that the past year of 1922, was one of his best years of the many years he has been in business. Mr. Clayborne was asked what, if any particular thing, he could give for the remarkable increase in the past year, and his reason, or account of his larger business was two things: "Quality and Service." He further stated to substantiate his remarks that quality is essential, but without service your business would be like a long used tire on one of his cars, that is, you would be liable to have a blow out at most any time. Mr. Clayborne said he wanted to show his appreciation towards those who made it possible through their confidence in the Clayborne grocery-market, for one of his greatest years in business and it would be his sole anm and desire to render to his patrons a greater service and if its on the market, better quality for 1923. His wife, Mrs. Clayborne takes care of the cashier's window and its taken care of right.

Among the most important things accomplished was the first public appearance of The Kansas Colored Authors Club, which craved and was granted admittance into the association. The Colored Author's Club is designed to perform the much needed service of giving a wider and more extended acquaintance to the literary efforts of the members of our group, and to bring them into and before the reading world in such manner that much good may be the result.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Men and Boys' day, Sunday, December 31, was a glorious success.Men and boys filled the large middle tier of seats and overflowed into other parts of this large church. Pastor Bronson took his text from I Kings 1-2, "I go the way of all the earth; be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man." This was David's charge to Solomon, his son. He showed, by biology, that our future civilization's embryo is enfolded in boys and they should have the best material around them to influence them for good. Said, "No one is a safe parent, who knows of evils in a town and sits down and does not try to have them stopped." He is so earnest in his exact Christian life, he will soon be called the great reformer. He also said, "Our fathers and mothers never saw these new inventions, but saw, God, and knew how to raise children." It was another amazing sermon, and hundreds enjoyed it. Some also joined the church. The program preceding the sermon was: Trombone solo, Mr. A. Howard; paper, Mr. C. Hudley; vocal solo, Mr. J. Truitt; After the sermon, vocal solo, Dr. Davis. At 8. P. M., the men and boys' program was continued and Pastor Bronson introduced Mme. Matthews, who had a prose prologue and poem composed from Gen. 1-26, which received great applause. He then explained how boys and girls, too, need more care at the period of adolescence. He said, "if care was not taken a boy will fall off of fool's hill and destroy a coming generation." Teach more righteousness and tell the story of the cross, and if we get them to be real Christians the world will be much better." More united with the church.

The league was honored with a visit by some members of the Board of Education, and one member of the legislature. The membership drive was urged and an awakening on all lines expected. The league meets regularly each Tuesday evening. I. F. BRADLEY, President. BOOTH SMITH, Secretary. ST. LUKE A. M. E. CHURCH [B. M.

Prayer and praise service, Wednesday, 8 p. m. The services on the last day and Sabbath of the year were excellent. The Sabbath School was fine. The pastor preached a special sermon to fathers and sons at 11 a. m. from John 10-30: "I and My Father Are One." Subject: "The Relation of Father and Son." The father is head of the home. Unless a father weds a good woman there is no home in a divine sense. The father must take the initiative. The father is a girder of strength, capstone and support of the family. What grave responsibilities rest upon the fathers. It is their duty to teach, train, protect, the children. Some fathers think if they provide for their families, that is all that is required. It is not so, he should be an example, moral and religious. If he is not, he falls short of what God—his Creator—designed. So many let the moral and religious training rest with the mother. We hard hearted fathers say, "I am not right, but I have a good wife; she trains the children right." As a race we need good heads of families; good fathers to help build strong, moral fibre in the home. Oh, for more God-like fathers. Many men do not study why they were created. God created everything for man and created man for His glory. The wise man gave this observation, Prov. 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. A child is like a vine and when a child is born in a family, you must not look at it in a selfish way. It is an heritage of God, a trust for you to train and enjoy, but by all means train so God will get glory out of that life. We support and train a vine—so must we train the children. Many gray hairs and wrinkled brows are in the world today because we failed to take the child in hand at the proper time, it is easily trained in its early years. Paul speaks of Timothy from a child, thou has known the scriptures. Some of us would be strong and better men and women had we been trained in the scriptures. We are wiser now than of yore. We begin with the cradle roll, mothers, fathers, get the children in Sabbath School. Example is better than precept; bring the children to Sunday school. Train our future mothers and fathers like grandma Lois and Eunice's parents and grandparents of Timothy he imbibed christian ethics. Oh, that God would let this thought rest with us this morn that we may go home making as never before. It's an awful thing to train the head and hand and leave the heart and moral fibre weak. Every organization must have a head, and the head must be respected. Mother and father must respect and love each other, be sweet, say nice things about each other; if you discover faults talk to each other, but not to nor before children, all must co-operate. Sons are creatures of the family. O, ye sons, hear the scriptures on this. A wise son maketh a glad father, but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother; look at the robberies and lawlessness that is prevalent today, like a ravenous and leprous beast turned loose on society because of a lack of training in the home. We must train from within. The duty of sons is to obey the instructions of father and mother. There is a distinction about children who are properly reared. A curse is pronounced on disobedient children. Mothers and fathers make great sacrifices for their children. Children obey your parents in the Lord. Fathers ought to be in the Lord and sons, don't treat your parents indifferent, your children will treat you the same. Christ was an example, he was subject to his parents. Fathers, your children must be corrected with the rod and reprove them, but do not provoke. Prov. 29-15. Prov. 22-15, unrestrained youth will bring trouble on any race. The unity of purpose that existed between Christ and his father should exist between earthly fathers and sons. Christ came in the flesh to carry out his Father's plans and purpose for the redemption of man. The joy of a Christian family is harmony and unity of purpose. A wonderful discourse. The B. Y. P. U. held an inspiring session instructed by the Vice-President, Deacon H. Walker. The watch service at 8 p. m. was a splendid one; the pastor preached a logical and instructive sermon from Isa. 52-1. Subject, "The Elements of Church Strength and How to Obtain it." At the conclusion of the regular service many remained for the watch meeting.

MIDNIGHT and it is up to Him whether or not I will be able to carry out these plans on earth. He knows my days and just how long I am to be here. I am not going to bother with the United States Senate, but just let them go right on and break their own necks. I feel that they had a chance to do something to make them real men, but let that opportunity go by, and I don't see how in the — they expect to be elected in 1924, especially the president of the United States. We all pulled off our coats and shirts and went to work to land Mr. Harding in the White House, and he is there, and I believe that it is truly a white house, and never intended for the black man. He is still paying for his freedom, but I feel that I have paid both principal and interest for the emancipation of my father. He got out in time to bring me here a free-born baby, and a pretty little baby at that. The people used to discuss my beauty, and even take me up in their arms and say "He looks like a little angel." Have you ever had anyone to say that you looked like an angel? I have decided that I am not going to say any "cuss" words but may from time to time say "Dog gone." By grats no one calls that cussing. I have a friend who can just cuss the devil out of you without saying "damn" and he is considered an expert.cusser and then he can do some praying at the same time. You see the year which has just closed made many a christian say words that would cause them to fall from grace and holy grace at that. Men have been burned at the stake, barbecued, roasted, cooked, and then the meat has not been eaten.

John Spitzengel, Plaintiff. By D. E. Henderson, His Attorney. Attest: Carl W. Fincke, Clerk By C. D. Bruce, Deputy Clerk. (First published Dec. 15, 1922.) head to doughnuts that would stop some of the damfulishness and send some of the damphules just where they belong. But it is not good for first of the year. I note that the K. K. K. is making itself felt, and they have been raising particular heaven in Louisiana, and they are going to raise it elsewhere in the future. Unless there is a halt put to the unlawful organization, we are going to have real hell right here and the Devil will only have to come and take charge, and God will reach down and get what is coming to Him. Where will you be found? Law and order and dislaw and disorder can't dwell on the same throne at the same time. There are many agencies at work. I notice where Hon. Perry W. Howard had to come forward and have his say a few days ago. It seems that the big three were after him with a big stick. Are you acquainted with the big three? Johnson, DuBois and Pickens. They represent the National Association and I admire this Association because it has made respectable jobs for these men. They are the representatives of the people, and represent them from afar. Some of us little fellows can't get close enough to Dr. DuBois to hand him a red apple, yet he is their representative. He is a ripe scholar. Perhaps you want to know what I am doing? I am looking around in Chicago, being treated daily by Dr. George C. Hall, and I am at 5922 Aberdeen street. I have been to the meeting of Damond Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and I have seen the Heroines of Jericho install officers. It looked to me like there were two thousand female women in this to do, and they had on red aprons, and some of the women had on robes a quarter of a mile long, so to speak. They certainly did strut Miss Lizzie and struted her right and left. Rev. Dr. C. M. Tanner came into Chicago last year and when I tell you honey he is a man with a vision, a man that is making things happen. I am just putting it mildly. He is just what the doctor ordered. Dr. L. K. Williams is getting ready to do some things this year in the National Baptist Convention. He is a great big man' and is going to do great big things. Rev. L. G. Jordan is in Chicago as sick as a man can be to be sick, but is improving. Charles Stewart is sick in Chicago, and it is the first time this old fellow has had to remain in Chicago so long, and I just look at him and laugh. He is surrounded by his wife and son and both seem to be deeply interested in the old man. Dr. George Cleveland Hall is the surgeon and he is working on this fellow's head disease. I think Stewart has the headeretus. I feel like asking him to go to Kansas City and see Dr. S. H. Thompson, who is one more expert surgeon, and I believe in my soul he can cure any kind of head disease. I hope they will not have to take Dr. Stewart to the crazy house. Speaking of the Stewarts, Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart is sick. She is having some trouble with her lower limb called leggus or something like that. She is being treated by the doctor. Charles Stewart has had some main trouble, he having been hit by an automobile, his mainspring is in bad shape, and he is forced to remain out of school. He is an interesting chap, and the son of his father and takes his good qualities after his mother, and if there is any devil in this boy, he got it from his father. He is clever at all times and an interesting little fellow to talk with. I am sorry to learn that Hon. Nelson Crews remains in bad health. I am praying for him daily. But here let me pause amid say that this January 1, finds Rev. Edward Wittenburg, in charge of Allen Chapel, A. M. E. church, and he comes from New Orleans. He is indeed a fine young minister, with a large family, sons and daughters, a good preacher, a sweet singer in Israel and will make good. I want to congratulate the people on securing this strong minister. He is doing his work and will bring Allen out. I want the people there join\with him. I take pleasure commending him to your readers. I think I will have to bring this letter to a sudden stop and write again while I am sitting around Chicago. May God bless you and give you plenty health and happiness during the new year. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Mrs. Luella Green NOTARY PUBLIC 516 Minnesota IAvenue Copying neatly done to order.
