KANSAS Vol. XI SENATOR CURTIS SAYS WHITE IN TO MUDDY THE WATER A LITTLE Laude Paulen as a Man of Honesty, Integrity and High Ideals Hiawatha, Kans., Oct. 23.—Senator Curtis, in his speech here today, said: "I am sorry that Mr. White has seen fit to get into this race. He won't do anything but muddy the water a little. The Republicans have nominated a man who stands in his community at the very highest as a man of honor, integrity, ability and fair dealing. Senator Capper, when Governor, was looking over all outstanding available for a man to place in charge of the Oil Inspection Bureau of the state. He selected our present candidate for governor, Ben Paulen. He has been honored by the bankers of this state, who know him, as president of their association, and I want to say, if elected governor of this state, he will be governor of the people of Kansas and not governor of any faction. The time has come to cut out this faction business. "I hope the time will come when you will elect a governor who will stay at home, tend to his business, and not go over the United States and state, making speeches all the time. I am not reflecting on anybody. We want a governor who will stay at home one and get down to work. All of us look at these things differently, but as a member of the House 18 years, and 12 years in the Senate, I found it a duty to be there at all times when congress was in session, to represent your interests. Mr. Strong tells you that sometimes we men are offered two or three hundred dollars a day to make a speech, with all expenses paid; big salaries to try law suits. But I think we ought to let those things alone and tend to the duties we have been elected to. Sometimes you want plain speech. In 1919 I went off to a little country picnic. Before I left, I happened to pick up a newspaper—taxes increased. I told the people where they were going. They accused me of assaulting the governor of the state because I told the truth about the taxes. The people of the country this year paid seven billion dollars in taxes, state, national, county, township, etc. If you have got your money's worth, all right. If any of you think it is not worth it, you want to cut it out, whether in state, township, county or nation. The government of the United States reduced the tax for you Three hundred sixty-one million dollars this year, two hundred thirty-two million last year, and so I feel as one of the Republican senators, that we come to you with a record which we confidentially expect you to endorse. I thank you for your kind attention and ask you tonight as Republicans to urge your neighbors to get out and vote. One of the great tendencies in this country is not to vote; one of the things men and women ought to do. There are men in the Senate today—men elected two years ago, and the highest vote cast for Senator was 36% of his people. The great Senator LaFollette was elected by a 26% of his state. Senators in the United States elected by six per cent of the vote of their state! I think the time has come when the people ought to turn out so that a man could be elected only by the majority of the electors of his state. TODAY IS THE LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER. YOU SHOULD NOT LOSE YOUR FRANCHISE TO VOTE. WIDOW'S CLUB. The Widows' club met at Mrs. Ellen Blue's, 939 Nebraska avenue, on Friday evening, October 17, 1924. The club began its program with piano and Victrola music, after the music they began their business with the calling of the roll. After the roll call they were served with sandwiches with olives, coffee, ice cream and cake. - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 MOSAIC TEMPLARS HOLD GRAND SESSION HERE THIS WEEK.

CITY Kansas City, Kansas, October OH LOOK, DADDYS: GOT A WHOLE BUNCH O' LEAVES OH LOOKT, DADDYS. GOT A WHOLE BUNCH O' LEAVES "NATURE LOVERS" (Copyright, W.N. U.) KANSAS CITY MONARCHS WIN WORLD SERIES It Took Nine Games to Decide Who Should be Champions of the World. The Kansas City Monarchs, pennant winners of-1923-1924 of the National Negro Baseball League of America and the pennant team of Philadelphia (Hillsdale) of the Eastern League, closed their World series last Monday at Chicago. Two games were played in Philadelphia, Monarchs breaking even; two games were played in Baltimore, one being a tie, which was played off the next day, the Hillsdale winning. The two teams then came to Kansas City for three games, the Monarchs taking two, making three games each. The other three games were played in Chicago, starting last Saturday, the Monarchs taking the first game, the Eastern champions copping Sunday's game making four games won for each team, and Monday the tie was played off, the Monarchs winning, with the grand old Cuban manager, Mendez, on the mound, who shut the loosers out 5 to 0, giving the Monarchs the greatest Negro ball team in the world. Mendez was in great form and let the Eastern champions down with three hits and not a man reached second base. The Monarchs only got six hits, but they bunched them in one inning, the eighth, scoring all of their runs. A big reception and banquet was given the Monarchs Tuesday night in Chicago and another of greater magnitude given here on their return home. PULLEN FOR PAULEN FOR GOVERNOR. WESTERN UNIVERSITY "BULL DOGS' TAKES LINCOLN HIGH STRONG TEAM OVER 10-0 FRIDAY. Play Langston Eleven Today. Western University football team, known better as Western U. "Bull Dogs" up to date have played three games this season and have not been scored against. The last game played was against the strong Lincoln High school team of Kansas City, Mo., which was played at Association Park last Friday afternoon. It was one of the hardest fought victories the W. U. eleven has had this season and the score could of been 3 to 0, but for Lincoln was not up on the rules. Lincoln has a strong team and are able to make things troublesome for any team in the Missouri conference. Western University team left Wednesday night for Langston University, Oklahoma, where they will play Friday the Langston eleven. The Langston team is not in the conference schedule of the Missouri Valley. COLORED VOTER DON'T STUMBLE NOVEMBER 4TH. There are some of our group, who are not taking this election serious, although it is one of the most important elections since the civil war. Just a few days ago a Southern Democrat has put up to the Supreme court, the highest court of our land, to annul the Fourteenth Amendment and if this man or beast can conclusively and to the satisfaction of this court, that the 14th Amendment is not constitutional, every Negro in the United States would be immediately disfranchised. We would not be more than mere chattles, so to speak. Your vote with any other party, than the party who wrote this 14th Amendment—Republican party—is nothing more than a vote endorsing the action and intent of this demagogue. DON'T STUMBLE—election day. The Republican party is nationwide and stands for all humanity and for the welfare of all of its people, regardless of color or creed. It is our duty as real American citizens to support those principles, that from their infancy stood for justice, right, fair play and the freedom of a people. There may be some things you don't like, but this is one of the times we cannot afford to side step to any other party, even not individuals if they are so unfortunate to be on some other ticket. Remember you are voting for a party—not men. And there is only one party for the Negro—The Republican party. Watch your step and vot'er straight and you will NOT STUMBLE.—Editor. WYANDOTTE REPUBLI-CANS WHOLLY SATISFIED BEN S. PAULEN, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR SPEAKS TO LARGE AUDIENCES HERE. Ben S. Paulen, Republican candidate for governor, entered Wyandotte county Saturday, October 18 in an all day and evening speaking campaign for the Republican ticket. At noon he spoke to the women of Kansas City, at the Grund hotel, of which many of our race women were present. At 6:30 p. m. he spoke to a rousing and enthusiastic audience, at the Methodist church, in Rosedale and was tendered a banquet. At 8 p. m. he spoke to an overflow crowd at the Court house, auditorium and from there went to First A. M. E. church where he met another enthusiastic audience ready to hear him and then to Pleasant Green Baptist church, where hundreds had been awaiting his arrival and from there to Princess Theater, north Third street, where standing room was only available. Mr. Paulen's appeal at every place was for the Republican ticket of the nation, state and county. In his talks everywhere to both white and colored, he stated he had been accused of being a member of the klan by the Independent candidate, Mr. White, which he said was false, as he had never been a member and was under no obligations to the klan or any other organization and if elected would be governor of all the people and not any set of men, faction or organization. He said "I am a Republican and believe in the principles of my party." Some who had THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER STUMBLE NOVEMBER 4TH.

One speech was uptown and the other by special invitation. The special must have been before the inmates of the State asylum. Mr. White must have felt right at home. THE COLORED WOMEN'S STATE REPUBLICAN CLUB. The Women's State Republican Club had a fine meeting at the A.M. E. church, Saturday night. Mrs. Childs presided fine and there were so many speakers we can't name all. Hon. B. Paulen spoke well and said he is not any klan, and the writer of this says we may as well take his word and vote for him on November 4. Let us stand for the Republican party, which has done so much for us. Hon. W. W. Fisher of Chicago, spoke and Mr. Countee had written a pretty song for President Coolidge, which a lady sang, while he played. The women's headquarters are in Attorney Green's office.

GIVEN CONST Number 10 ONE MORE BIG COUNTRY SAYS J. O. ONE MORE BIG COUNTRY SAYS J. O. Coolidge and Dawes Endorsed, Even in Texas Beaumont, Texas, Oct. 23. This is one more big country, and a fellow can just get around in it and see and see and hear and hear if he can get hold of enough money to pay his fare on these iron horses, wagons or own an automobile car carriage. When I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines to inform you of my health the last time, I was not here, but it strikes me that I was up in Kansas, and I was there at the Baptist state convention and heard them big preachers talk, and I even heard them pass resolutions endorsing Coolidge and Dawes, and they were not afraid to speak right out in church, and I am going to tell you something about Texas and the Texas preachers. I made it from Coffeyville, Kansas, to Little Rock, spending the night there with Dr. Joseph A. Booker and his family. I learned that Mrs. Fred D. Morris had been hurt in an automobile car carriage mix up, but was better. She-got one of her walkers broke, or the bones in it which makes them stiff enough for walking purposes. I was sorry to learn this, for she was away from home. You will perhaps recall that I told you about all the Morris boys, moving to Chicago and engaging in the taxicab business known as the Silver Top Cab Co., and they are doing some business. I found that Dr. Booker was getting ready for the meeting of the Arkansas State Baptist convention next month. He is one busy man, president of the Arkansas Baptist college, editor of the Baptist Vanguard, and doing many other things. In all he is assisted by his wife. She is a remarkable woman. Only one night spent, then off to Texarkana, Arkansas, where I had the pleasure of speaking to the people. I had many things to say to them about this election business, and told them the importance of electing Coolidge and Dawes, and they heard me. Of course they will vote, but their votes will not count for much, except to reduce the big popular vote of Mr. Dem. What happened next? I made my way to this place and Rev. J. S. Simmons saw me riding through, and believe me honey by the time that loco-jine had reached the stable he was right there with his automobile car carriage to tote anywhere I wanted to go. It was wonderful to have such a big preacher to pay that much attention to me, but he did just the same. He toted me over to show me where they were holding forth, and then showed me where they are going to build a modern church, and when it is finished I will have before me the picture "before and after." We went by the Mr. Peoples Drug Store, and Dr. Gray saw me, waved his hand and said "Elder stay in touch with me." Next found me in the office of that enterprising young tooth doctor dentist, C. B. Charlton, who was as busy as could be half-soleing teeth, and even removing some from the places where they had been put by the Almighty. It was necessary to preserve health. He was not resisting the work of God but repairing man's neglect. After a few minutes, we were soon on our way out to the home of Dr. C. B. Charlton, had the pleasure of seeing his wife and daughters, but not his son. Mrs. Juanita Charlton, if you remember, is one of the well trained young women of this race of ours. Before she decided to establish her own kindergarten, she taught in the public schools, but now she has her own school and is busy in it. She is a good teacher, and believes in bringing them up in the way they should go. By the home of Prof. T. T. Pollard, who is principal—in practically the head of all the schools of my people in town, and he is a good head man. We also met the principal of the high school, Prof. Terry Charlton, and the wife of each man. I had planned to leave the city that night for Houston, but accepted an invitation to remain over night, and when I got back to town, I got out at this same drug store, and stepped to the hello box and soon the Rev.

One day they set the tight-wad bookkeeper at him. "Could you take my photograph with your apparatus?" inquired the bookkeeper. "I think I can get a likeness," answered John. He pretended to point the box, then reached inside and held up a hard-bolled egg. After that there was no joking about John's camera.—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES After a spiritual 6 a. m. prayer meeting and a live Sunday School, the people entered into the 11 a. m. service with much zeal. The Senior choir sang some beautiful old songs in appropriate metres, viz: "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone," "There is a Fountain," accompanied by the violin and cornt. Rev. Over offered a fervent prayer and the choir's quartet sang "Nothing but Leaves." Pastor Bronson introduced Rev. Bolden of the C. M. E. church and he preached a spiritual sermon on Is. 28:16, "Behold I lay in Mt. Zion a foundation stone." At the close several joined church. The city missionary, Mrs. M. C. Matthews, had told the pastor and deacons of a lame man at Tenth and minnesota, sitting, waiting to be taken to this church. Two deacons went and brought him. It was Rev.

INSULIN VALUABLE IN MALNUTRITION Insulin injected into the blood stream of an undernourished infant will help to utilize the sugar in the food given, Dr. W. K. Marriot of St. Louis reports to the American Medical association. A malnourished child needs more food in proportion to its weight than normal children, but sometimes the malnourished child lacks ability to take care of all the food it should get. Glucose, the sugar of corn syrup, is injected into the veins along with insulin. Children using this food so strangely taken in, increase in weight, which is not lost later when the treatment is discontinued. Doctor Marriot used insulin after observing that diabetic patients on insulin treatment often gain weight at a phenomenal rate, even when their food intake is not excessive. He uses the treatment for infants only in the worst cases of malnutrition. Detective Camera A pocket camera shaped like a small telescope that takes pictures at right angles to the line of vision, has been designed especially for the use of detectives, or others who desire to obtain photographs without the knowledge of the subjects. A dummy lens at one end resembles that of a field glass. Thus the user is able to take a picture at right angles to the ostensible line of vision. The view finder is contained in what appears to be the eyepiece. The camera can be focused to less than a yard or to "infinity," and uses plates or film. Horse's Wild Gallop A race between a horse and an automobile amused onlookers at Pottsville, Pa., until the spectacle almost resulfed seriously. The owner of the horse had tied it to the spare tire of Bernard McCall's machine and when McCall got into his car he failed to notice the predicament of the animal. McCall stopped the auto just as conditions were getting serious for the hard-pressed horse. Pigeons as Telephones With every outgoing tourist car that invades the little-known parts of the national park around the Grand Canyon of Colorado now go a pair of homing pigeons. These are the only feasible means of communication in an emergency, for there is no telephone or telegraph service in that part of the country. PUBLICATION NOTICE.

WHITELAW DRUGGIST Phone Fairfax 0622 3091 N. 27th St. Kansas City, Kan. SHORT SMILES A kind face is a beautiful face. Conduct has the loudest tongue. Debt is a bottomless sea.—Carlyle. Be sure no lie can ever reach old age.—Sophocles. The foul sluggard's comfort: "It will last my time." An ingrowing habit is "knocking." It soon becomes intemperate. It must be painful to be so serious as not to enjoy a burlesque. A man can cultivate both or either—a high brow or a bay window. Let children play as they please, if there is no danger of breaking a leg. The man who was born to be hanged may escape by way of the electric chair. Some women just can't help referring to a dollar boat excursion as a yachting party. Never judge a man's worth by the amount he has to pay in a breach-of-promise suit. Love's blindness is not incurable. Otherwise there would be no breach-of-promise suits. Many a man who has made a failure of everything else imagines he is a success as a husband. There are bores and bores, but the man with the chronic explanation habit is in a class by himself. MORAL OF THIS IS: AVOID LITIGATION Recent important lawsuits, notably the famous Russell case, have shown what many people still do not realize, namely, that it is not only counsel's fees that make litigation costly, says London Tit-Bits. For example, shorthand notes and their transcription add hundreds of pounds to the bill of costs in a big case, while printing means hundreds more. When a case is heard before a special jury, each member of the jury receives a guinea. If the case seems likely to be a long one the foreman of the jury will hint at extra remuneration. Each member then gets a guinea a day instead of a guinea for the whole case. In a protracted case this may mean £100 or more going on the bill. In addition there may be the cost of bringing special exhibits to the court. In one famous case a wireless installation was fitted up in the law courts, with aerials on the clock tower. This alone is said to have involved an expenditure of over £200. Island Springs Up Warning beacons have been erected on a new island which sprang up recently in the sea of Azov, an arm of the Black sea, as a result of a maritime convulsion.

Call Fair- fax 0380 Or 4422 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE FAMOUS CHARACTERS IN POPULAR BOOKS "Oliver Twist," as at first born in the brain of Dickens, was a different creation from the Oliver we know. It was a visit by Dickens to Crulkishk's studio that changed the life story of the workhouse boy. There the author saw a series of sketches illustrating the career of a London thief. There was a sketch of Fagin's den. There was the Artful Dodger, Charley Bates and Bill Sikes. All these Dickens worked into the book which the world knows so well.

In clover especially m cation has presented a mo problem. Seeds of the two come mixed and, being qu al and similar in size, it has Sir Rider Haggard won greater fame by his strange creation, the never-dying queen, "She," than by anything else he wrote. "She's" origin was the legend of the Queen Majaji, well known to the natives of the hills around Zoutpansberg, which Sir Rider was one of the first Britishers to hear. Majaji has really been dead for many years, but the natives believe she still lives, hidden in some mysterious cavern of the mountains of the Transvial. Motion Pictures Used to Save Texas Game Motion pictures as educational factors are more and more recognized. New evidence of appreciation of their possibilities, says the Argonaut, is given by the game commission of Texas. Popularity of automobiles has increased the numbers of hunters and fishermen until only an awakening of state pride can save the deer, wild turkey, trout and black bass from extermination. Two ardent sportsmen who are also cameramen were sent 10,000 miles through the big state in the last year to collect material for a picture depicting wild animal life, and now that copies of the film have been shown over the state, there has been started a persistent agitation for the preservation of Texas game life. Other states are becoming interested, and the two sportsmen-cameramen will make a similar picture for the state of Arkansas. Turkish Divorce Custom in Turkey has made almost any trivial cause sufficient ground for a man to divorce his wife. It has made the Turk man the owner of the power to divorce. He may rid himself of his wife by merely saying before two witnesses, "I divorce you." Then, if he wishes, he may marry her again for a second time, divorce her by the same simple process, marry her a third time and divorce her. But before he marries her a fourth time she must have been married, if only for one day, to some other man and then divorced. If a husband chooses, he may indulge in a cubic divorce process by saying before two witnesses, "I divorce you with three divorces."—Beatrice Hill Ogilvie in Current History Magazine. Changes in Sun's Spots By means of photographs of the sun, Prof. G. H. Peters, of the United States observatory, showed members of the American Astronomical society in session at Hanover, N. H., how the number of spots on the sun had decreased and increased during a period of many months. Few spots in August, 1923, after several months of decrease in numbers and followed by a sharp increase in September were taken to indicate the ending of a cycle of 11 years of solar activity and the beginning of a new period of similar length. Coal Substitute for Jet Polished hard coal is being experimented with by a German inventor as a substitute for Jet in the production of rings, necklaces, watch fobs, ornamental hat trimmingns and similar articles. Selected hard coal is used and after the substance is cut as near to the required dimensions as possible, it is finished off with fine files and then polished. Monogram rings inscribed with initials inluid in white enamel present a smart appearance, and it is said few are able to guess the nature of the substitute. Cyclone Pulls Freight An Arkansas cyclone turned a peculiar stunt at Fayetteville when it sucked six freight cars out of a rapidly moving freight train and piled them up in a promiscuous heap by the side of the right of way. The force of the wind tore them loose so quickly and cleanly that the other part of the train was not affected and no wreck occurred.

Dodder is a parasitic weed that twines around the stalks of respectable plants and gets its living from them. In clover especially its eradication has presented a most serious problem. Seeds of the two plants become mixed and, being quite small and similar in size, it has hitherto been impossible to throw out the intruder. Nevertheless, the trick is now being done. An electromagnet does it. The explanation is very simple, says Compressed Air Magazine. A quantity of very fine iron filings is sifted upon and stirred into the mixture to be separated, and the mass is moistened. The wet clover seed remains smooth and clean, but the dodder develops a sticky substance to which the iron dust clings. Then the seed is poured in a thin, flat stream in front of a powerful electromagnet without actually coming in contact with it. But even so the pull of the magnet is sufficient to draw the iron-coated seeds slightly out of their vertical course and away from the clean clover seeds, so that the latter drop straight down while the former are carried a little to one side and deposited in a separate receptacle. "Art" Monstrosities to Be Obliterated With all his other faults it appears that Kaiser Wilhelm "that was" had absolutely no feeling for art and Germany is about to obliterate many of the sculptured and pictured traces of his reign. Critics and artists agree that the additions to New palace and Sans Souci in Potsdam made by the former emperor belong to the pampas grass and anti-macassar age. So the ugly things are to be removed. Professor Foerster, a leading art authority, has been commissioned to direct the process of elimination. It is agreed that one of the chief eyesores is an immense marble group placed in the bedroom occupied by Frederick the Great and depleting the dying struggles of that revered monarch. And the work of removing all the artistic horrors is not to be limited to the palaces. Berlin is to be freed of its worst marble monstrosities and other assorted mementoes of an unhallowed past. Glided eagles, giant Germanias and ferocious margraves are to be auctioned or destroyed. Thus pass the symbols of a spurious great, ness.—From the Argonaut. Colored Onions Repel Germs Colored Onions Repet Germs In the course of an investigation of some plant diseases that attack the common onion plant, Dr. J. C. Walker has discovered that the colored varieties of onions are highly resistant to the diseases, whereas the pure white onions succumb at once. The secret is that the skins of the colored onions contain a chemical which is poisonous to the germs causing the disease. If one of these germs tries to penetrate into the colored onion bulb the germ is killed. White onions lack this germ poison and disease finds them, therefore, an easy prey. Gives Moths Pneumonia Giving moths pneumonia and thus getting rid of them by artificially creating a sort of flue epidemic is the latest method of extermination being tried in London. This requires no bacteriological cultures or scientific apparatus. When it is found that moths have gotten into an article of clothing it is placed in a refrigerator, left there several days, then exposed to a temperature of 50 degrees and then again refrigerated. This gives the moths pneumonia and kills them all. SCIENTIFIC OPTICIAN HAVE BETTER HAIR EVERYBODY LINES TO LOOK THEIR BEST WELL GROOMED HAIR ADDS A GREAT DEAL TO PERSONAL APPEARANCE.

USE OF FEELING LONESOME, HE SAD — I GOT A CASE, A LOVIN' WIFE, & A PASS TO THE ALL GAME! THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE J. O. MIDNIGHT I think I will have to bri ter to a stop. I have not (Continued from Page 1.) Williams, pastor of the A. M. E. church was there with his automobile car carriage, toted me over to his home, furnished me with some oysters, shook hands with his congenial wife, who seemed to get so happy when she could furnish Col. J. O. Midnight something for his heart. She is a fine woman devoted to her husband and his work. After this eating business was over and it all had time to soak in, then he toted me down to this high school. At the high school they were making it possible for our boys and girls to get better education. They were installing a set of things for making chemistry or physics or something like that. I have looked in my dictionary and cannot find the name for it, but you educated people will understand. It is a necessary adjunct to high school, but as a rule in the South it is found only in white high schools. I spent the night with Rev. and Mrs. A. W. Williams, and bright and early next morning, 5 o'clock, found me on the iron horse carriage headed for Houston, where I had the pleasure of seeing the Rev. Dr. Smith, pastor of Wesley, but honey I got in touch with Dr. T. V. Overton, one of the leading physicians, in this country and he fixed my head through my arm. I was suffering with some head trouble, and he is one more fixer. I don't see how he could shurt something in my arms and it would go to the head and make it go down. He helped me, carried me around to make some calls, delivered me to the interurban, and I left for Galveston. Reported to the young Minister, Rev. R. C. Barbour, the son of his father and a wonderful young man. He is pastor of the Macedonia Baptist church, where the state convention met. He received me like he was receiving a brother or father, and handled me with care. He assigned me to stop at the home of Mrs. Katie Jones, whose daughter or at least one of them, "Maud," is a teacher. It was a fine stopping place. Dr. D. A. Scott was holding forth with the ministers and deacons. He is a remarkable man, and I am proud of him. At night Miss J. D. Holman had charge of a meeting of young women. While they were holding the program Tuesday night I took a little snooze, but that is just like me anyway. But honey the next morning Dr. A. L. Boone, the official leader of the Baptist Missionary and Educational convention of Texas, called them to order, and he made some striking remarks. He is just a leader of men and an aggressive leader at that, and the men all rally around his lead. Rev. J. S. Simmons, presided during the opening. He is as I told you about him before. I will not be able to go into details of the convention, but I must tell you that it was a great meeting and they did do some great things in it. Rev. L. K. Williams, Rev. J. H. Braham, Rev. Charles Stewart, were down from Chicago, and the Rev. Mr. Hamilton represented the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress. Rev. L. W. Crawford was another foreign visitor. But you should have been here. The night Dr. Williams preached it seemed that all Galveston poured out to honor him and to hear his message. So large was the crowd that Dr. R. C. Barbour secured the city auditorium, and it held the crowd. No church in town could hold it. I want to here pay my respects to the Baptists of Texas. They are people who believe in doing things. Foremost in their hearts and minds is the Houston college, with Dr. J. E. Knox as president. He is one of the leading college men in America—well trained a thinker and they tell me he is a logician. I do not know what that is but I do know that he is giving to the Baptists and to the young people the best there is in him. He is one of the school men of the age. I am going to give you a whole letter about him some day. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. I have not been able to tell you about Dr. W. L. Dickson, the Dickson Orphans Home, Gilmer, Texas. He is one of the great characters of the age, a man with wonderful influence, and who is doing things. It is a man with a heart who will look after the unfortunates. I met another great man, Rev. N. Rivers Barnwell, the humane man. He is filling his place, and has charge of the music for the convention. I cannot close without telling you that women are working right by the side of the men in this. Mrs. Edna Strickland, of Pittsburg, is president of the convention, and just to think of it the women planked down over seven thousand dollars, while the men put on the table over eleven thousand, yet it was not as much as they started out to raise. The convention is over, and resolutions passed pledging support to the G. O. P. Let me hear from you. I will be far when I let you read this letter, for I am now in Beaumont returning out of the state. I have had a fine sleep, and may tell you about the things that happened in my next.
