Drexel 1584, FLORENCE MOORE, Secretary. Fairfax 4834 Vol. XI HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BURNED? ASKS J. O. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 2.—I am writing to you this week from Chicago, and it is a pleasure for me to be writing you another letter from this city on the eve of leaving here, but I am writing it just the same. You talk about a busy center, but that what Chicago is just now, because of the things that are being done here in the election. Of course, you would expect great doings in Chicago, because of its location, and its big population, and the Chicago people believe that the world revolves around it. Now there we are. Men who have flopped over to the Democrats are here trying to get others to do the same, and there are some who claim that the thing to do is the flop over to the LaFollette ranks, but let me tell all of the new thought people that the child who has once been burned dreads and fears the fire. We have been stung by the bee and why play with him again? I want to play safety, hence I am going to support President Coolidge, and I am anxious that my people will do so. I can't see the Democrats doing anything for me. I know what I am talking about. Take—the states of this country where we have had passed laws discriminating against us, and see if you can raise up one where are republicans are in power, that has passed any of these laws. They are democratic states, states that would disfranchise us, and then crush the life out of our people. Look into this yourself and you will see what has happened and what is still happening. Think with me for a minute, and see if there is one state where the republicans are in power where any of the "Jim Crow Laws" have passed. I know here and there have been some little two by cipher republicans who have voted with the democrats, just like we have republicans in democratic states for the purpose of holding offices. Did the republicans of this country object to the confirmation of Walter Cohen? Have you got it recorder anywhere? If it had been left with them he would have still be out in the cold, singing "No One to Welcome Me Home." When Mr. Cohen was confirmed then the democratic press had all kinds of fits, and said all manner of things about the party the voters in the Senate and the President of the United States. Shall we forget so soon? God forbid. But I am not here to talk about politics, yet I want to help us to get right and not cut off the nose to spite the face. There are critical times, and if our democrat friends get in this time, regardless to the promises that may come from Mr. Davis, they will fix things, and fix them to suit the party down home. I just as well tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It is my duty to help us think now. I am interested in this race, because I can't pass. I am of a fast color warranted not to run or rub. This is the kind of stuff I am dealing with now. I would like to pay my respects to one of the greatest and best known women in this country, Miss Hallie Quinn Brown, of Wilberforce, Ohio. -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 The mere mention of her name is sufficient, for she is known the world over and then she is one more worker. She is doing great things here in Chicago—and I must not say mere Chicago, for she is covering the country. She is at the head of political activities among the women of our group. I have heard so much about this group business until I have decided to use the word to see how it goes. I want you to keep in touch with Miss Brown. Write to her. She is in the Wrigley Building in Chicago, and Mrs. Myrtle Cook, of Chicago, is her executive secretary. No, Mrs. Cook is of Kansas City, and a great educator. It is wonderful how these educators are working together. I want to tell you about the organization in my next letter. I have not been in Chicago all the time since I wrote you that last letter, because I have spent a day in St. Louis, and with Aaron E. Malone. It is a great thing to spend a day with this wonderful character and come in contact with that great woman of the race, Mrs. Annie Turnbo Pope Malone, the wonder. It was Sunday night, after church that I got, myself together, went down to the Polk street stable to get aboard of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois iron horse. I got in the bed carriage, and honey, when that old horse grunted and puffed out of Chicago, I don't know, for I went to bed early, and when I got up the next morning I was going into St. Louis. I must have slept like a log. Prof. Aaron E. Malone, A. M., the wizard, had a bed just opposite me, but I didn't know it. St. Louis was reached, and the Pierce Arrow automobile car carriage with that polite courteous young man awaiting us. Mr. Malone had sometelo-speaking to do, and he got busy, and then we waited to see if the Rev. Dr. Fred Douglass was coming in from Baltimore. He did not come. Off for Poro, where he had breakfast, and I certainly did enjoy eating it. It was a pleasure to be seated at the table with Mrs. Malone. Mrs. Malone has spent the summer over in Europe, and it is interesting to hear her tell of the wonderful things she has seen and her impression of the English people. She has been on that big hill over there, where one man was about to wipe out, when he was told about it being in front of him, I am told that he said "There shall be no Alps." It is a wonderful hill and I am told that they talk about it in history and some other books, too. She has traversed the haunts of Sir Walter Scott, and she is prepared to tell you many things about the Lady of the Lake. She has a new vision, and have seen some more of life and some of the other world. She had had rest, and is now prepared to turn attention to her people at home. But believe me even while in Europe she was thinking about us over here, and wanted us to continued to go up the hill of progress. I thank God for her. Someday I am going to talk to her about her trip and tell you more about it. After breakfast was over, he want down town to see some business men, and some party leaders. He invited me to go there with him, and I tell you that man has wonderful influence in this country. I heard him (Continued on page 4.) CITY Kansas City, Kansas, This Fall's Color Scheme Politics AUTUMN (Copyright, W.M. U.) WESTERN UNIVERSITY TRIMS RICHMOND IN FOOTBALL. The Western University Bulldogs rounding into perfect shape for the fight for the Valley Football cup. They trounced the Richmond Athletics Friday at Heathwood Park to the tune of 40 to 0. The score, however, does not indicate the strength of the Richmond team. Their ability in forward passing was clearly demonstrated, completing five of the first six passes attempted. The Bulldogs' ability to intercept passes was also clearly demonstrated by "Pinkie" Waldron, guard and intercepted five forward passes. The first touchdown came in the first two minutes of play when E. C. Kennedy, tackle, recovered a Richmond fumble and dashed thirty yards for a touchdown. The game was sprinkled with thrills, the line plunging and end skirting by the W. U. backs was a wonder. Arthur Garret, right guard, who returned to the game after an absence of two years from gridiron demonstrated the Old Bulldogs spirit fighting to the end and breaking; through the line at will. The Bulldogs have one of the most promising squads for several years. Under the new coach, Arthur Willis, the team is working fine with a wealth of new material. The last year varsity men who have reported this year are John Lee, end, Starks, captain, center, Jones, Left. Half, Taylor, Right Half and the scintillating fullback, "Eppie" Jackson who has made himself famous in the Valley as a passer and broken filed runner. Among the new men are Gentry and Raines, quarterbacks. Shepherd and Flemins, backs and Waldren Barnes, Howard, Kennedy, linemen. The Bulldogs now look like a championship team. Prof. Carter CC. Smith, Jr., athletic director, is seeing to it that the squad is equipped with new togs and says they can have anything else that is in his power to give to make a winning team. Assistant coach, Earle Bryant, is also doing some effective work in coaching. The public cannot easily forget the wonderful track team developed by Assistant Coach Bryant last year. The games to be played by the Western University are as follows: Saturday, September 17—Indep. Western Univ. vs. Richmond, Mo., K. C. Mo.

Rhone, 128 Greely avenue. This being the first fall meeting of this club, an inspiring meeting was held. Mr. H. S. Williams' talk was very interesting and was received with great appreciation, subject of "How to Study Psychology." Reminiscences of summer travel were given by the members, which was very much enjoyed. The ladies showed they had been doing a deal of constructive reading, by the vim and intelligence given on current events. Sixteen ladies were present. Mrs. Mabel Clayborne, the president, presided. The hostess delightfully refreshed the members with a very palatable repast, after which the club adjourned. Rev. Meadows, pastor of the A. M. E. church, at Platt, Mo., visited Rev. and Mrs. Bowles Monday at 834 Nebraska avenue. MUST HAVE JARRED CAPTAIN'S DIGNITY Rear Admiral W. E. R. Martin, in "The Adventures of a Naval Paymaster," tells this story: While the author was serving in the old Bellerophon at Barbados, a remarkable personality, known as the queen of the washer-women, paid them a visit. Her name was Jane Anne Smith—a tall negress dressed in spotless white, wearing a turban. She came alongside in her own boat, pulled by six men. With a sweep of her arm she brushed aside the sentry on the gangway who asked her business, and marched straight on board. The first person she saw was the commander, George Primrose, on the quarter-deck. In two strides the gigantic negress gathered him to her breast and kissed him, in front of all hands, exclaiming joyously: "Oh, Massa Primrose, Jane Anne 'member you when you was little midshipman, so high." Translated The commercial magnate paid a surprise visit to a branch office and discovered a junior slacking. "You're fired!" he shouted. "Take this note to the cashler." He scribbed a note in the hand which everybody in the company knew, but which nobody had ever been able to read. After looking at it upside down and from the northern and eastern aspects, the junior took it to the cashler. "What's all this about?" asked the faun, after a severe mental struggle, and hoping that he held the slip the right way up. "I can't read it." said the lad, "but the boss said he wanted me to have a $10 raise."—Boston Globe.

Number 7 WHITE BOLTS TICKET WHEN HIS CANDIDATE IS DEFEATED The Emporia Editor Backs Up on His Own Primary Law. Topeka, Kans., Oct. 2.—While posing as the especial friend of the primary law, William Allen White has struck that law the severest blow it has ever suffered by bolting the ticket, when for the first time the candidate for Governor which he favored, failed of nomination. White advocated the primary as a means of getting rid of the boss-ridden conventions and preventing bolting of party nominees. He always has contended that in the primary the people had an opportunity to freely express their choice and it was the duty of persons participating in the primary to abide by the result. When Mr. Stubbs was nominated for Governor, White insisted it was the duty of those who opposed Stubbs in the primary to support him in the election. This was done, and Stubbs was elected. When Capper was nominated in the primary, White made the same plea, and the same result followed. When Allen was nominated in the primary, there was the same appeal and the same result. But with Paulen nominated in exactly the same way, White repudiates his doctrine and urges Republicans to bolt the ticket. Lacking any genuine ground for his attack on Paulen, he raises the fake Klan issue, while privately admitting that he cares nothing about the Klan one way or the other. Having possessed the veto power with preceding Republican governors on matters in which he was interested, he fears the loss of such power, and rather than suffer the loss of such political influence for four years, he would wreck the party just as he tried to do in 1912 and 1914. That is the issue in Kansas, political integrity against party bolting and rascality as represented by White. CITY BRIEF'S AND IN SOCIETY.

Call Fair- fax 0380 Or 4422 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE OBSERVATIONS The eye that sees all things else sees not itself. All men are guests where Hope holds the feast. When you analyze worry, isn't it cowardice? Every one thinks his own burden the heaviest. Satisfaction in life is easy. Just do your duty. An ounce of practice is worth a pound of preaching. Politeness is to goodness what words are to thoughts. What statesmen said 100 years ago hasn't much but literary value. Every gift a man possesses implies an obligation to the less gifted. Polar regions are valuable; indeed, they are. They make summer resorts possible farther South. A cook sometimes leaves a place because she is unable to pack it in her trunk and take it with her. On rare days, when one has an ambition to be a tightwad, one's efforts in that direction are painful. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, Second Division John E.

Edible After Twenty Years The question as to the life of the meat of a hickory nut, the length of time it will last before it becomes strong was discussed pro and con at McRae, Ark., when a hickory nut of the "scaly bark" variety, given to Mrs. Fleste Ernest by a friend in 1904 and kept by her as a souvenir since, was opened and the meat of the nut discovered to be perfectly preserved and edible. No one in that section has any recollection of such an old nut and the twenty-year-old "scaly bark" is believed to establish a new record in that line, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) speak right out in church to our people and when I say our people I mean them white folks. He told them-without closing his eyes. When he left the office of the man who was in charge of headquarters, he went to the office of the Mayor of St. Louis, and when he walked up, that door opened to him just like it would to the Governor of Missouri. I was with him and I walked in with him. Now, when I walked into that big office of the Mayor of St. Louis, I felt right faintified, but the police headquarters being right in the same building I would not faint. I am proud to see where we stand before I cross over Jordan. Let the good work go on. Into other officials' offices to see about this, that and the other, and they all heard him when he spoke. I know I carried a real grin and smile on my face, and at times you could see how red my face was, especially when I got in the light. Return to Poro, had lunch, and then out to a ball game. I would like to tell you all about this ball business, but I fear I will not have time. I thought they would put people in jail for stealing, but they did not put them men in jail for stealing the base. It is a shame how they throw the ball at each other, and I believe it would kill a fellow. There is a man who puts on a muzzle and a pillow in front of him. They call him catcher. When they hit the ball, they almost run their fool brains out, but if a fellow catches it, then they stop that foolishness, and go back and sit down. The game was over, we went down to meet the Rev. Dr. Fred Douglass of Baltimore, and then we had dinner with Mrs. Malone. We were graced at each meal by the queen of Poro college. After the evening dinner was over, we talked and talked, and then Mr. Malone was joined by a friend, and he played ball on a table, and I left for the stable, stopping at Mrs. Mattie Mapp Calhoun's, exchanged a few words with her and her guests. Then I went to the stable, got in my bed, and woke up the next morning back in Chicago. While in St. Louis, I saw one of the busiest men in the race, Col. Roscoe. Conkling Simmons, who is directing the speakers and publicity. I shall have something to say about Mr. Matthews later. I will bring this letter to a stop now.

A Deep-Laid Plan "I see you have bought a gramophone. I thought you couldn't stand the sound of the things!" "I can't. But my mother-in-law is staying with us, and she hates them more than I do."—London Tit-Bits. The friends of wild life protection have not been able to convince the secretary of agriculture or the chief of the biological survey that the need of reducing the bug limits on migratory wild fowl is pressing. In 1857 a select committee of the senate of Ohio was similarly skeptical, says the New York Herald Tribune. Regarding the slaughter of the carrier pigeon, it reported: "The passenger pigeon needs no protection. Wonderfully prolific, having the forests of the North as its breeding grounds, travelling hundreds of miles in search of food, it is here today and elsewhere tomorrow and no ordinary destruction can lessen them, or cause any to be missed from the myrliads that are yearly produced." The last passenger pigeon died in 1914 in the Cincinnati zoological garden. If there were no restriction whatever on duck shooting no ducks probably would be found in America in the next century outside of museums. What Are "Tambus"? The three Fijian chiefs who each presented a whale's tooth to King George recently were conferring upon him the highest honor- it is in their power to bestow. Known in their language as "tambus," these teeth are symbols of chieftainship, and are highly esteemed because, by native law and custom, any request backed by an exhibition of the tambu is bound to be granted. Thus, if a Fijian headman wishes to marry a neighboring chief daughter, he sends on ahead a messenger bearing his tambu. Nelthe girl nor her father has then any further choice in the matter. The wedding has got to be. Hard Luck Record Richard Luze, driving his car to town, skidded into a telephone pole. Coming back with the garage man to clear up the wreck he found thieves had stripped it of tires and fixtures. Walking home in the rain two highwaymen with howitzers took all his cash, a watch and his package of plug cut away from him. Finally reaching home Luze discovered lightning had struck the barn, killing a $250 Missouri mule, and that the hired man lit out with the family savings amounting to $140. This made Luze a loser five times in one day.—Capper's Weekly. The Result "My baby, Rowdy, was playing in the big road tuther day, rolling around in the dust, and all such," related Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, "when a feller came driving along in his motor car, and not seeing the baby for the dust, ran right over him." "Hurt him much?" asked the neighbor addressed. "Nope!—not specially. The little cuss socked a tooth into a front tire and went over and under a few times, and when the tooth pulled out of the tire the air came out, too, and, by gravy, you ort to have seed how mad the feller was."—Kansas City Star. Antelope Disappearing Antelopes, the graceful, shy little animals whose tender flesh used to delight the early settlers of the prairies and large herds of which once grazed on the site of Saskatoon, Sask., are doomed to early extinction, in the opinion of Fred Bradshaw, chief game guardian of Saskatchewan. He states in his annual report that only 250 head are left. Does He Fear a Wettin? "I see that Sim's new portrait of King George is being severely criticized. What do you think of it?" "Too much flashy clothes for this time and age." "Well, I think myself he'd look better without that swell reigncoat he's wearing." In Unmistakable Language "Betty, why did you let the cat out?" "She asked me to, mamma." "What do you mean, child?" "She swatched on the floor and sald, 'Me out, me out.'"—Boston Transcript. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT State of Kansas, County of Wyandotte, ss.
