Kans.Hist.Society Vol. XII SOME SELFISHLY SEEK "IMPORTED" LABOR Washington, Sept. 4.—"Imported Labor in past years, the direct outgrowth of a desire to stifle the economic rise of a part of America's population, has been the work panacea for Democratic states which were slow to appreciate the oneness of all American labor, whether white or black, ardently and honestly engaged in the American production and asking only for a living wage, reasonable periods of leisure, and the chance to aspire for all the freedom and benefits which go with an American birthright. Nothwithstanding the quota restrictions placed by an American Congress upon foreign immigrants who desire, and justly so, to enter upon American soil and compete with American labor, white and black, and further, notwithstanding the slow but sure success which is daily becoming more and more manifest through the fairness and justness of the present immigration restrictions, both as to American and foreign natives, word is constantly coming up from industrial centers of solid democratic states to the effect that there are those employers in such centers who still selfishly seek "imported" labor, to the prejudicial exclusion of native American labor, particularly the Negro masses of the workers, who in democratic states, are striving to advance themselves in industry and in agriculture far and beyond the bars otherwise set against them, at a fair living wage and with the wholesome desire to improve their chances for profitable and equitable employment. No one doubts the sincerity of the American Government in its proffer of fellowship to the foreigners, who seek Americanization and its resultant benefits. Americanization, however, like charity, should begin at home, with the resolution of all employers, both north and south, including the democratic area, which is frequently the aggressor in neglecting American men and women in order to hold out lower wages and longer hours than American moral laws and customs sanction, to use "imported" labor only when American labor is unavailable. The thousands of Negroes, born in America and deserving of its fullest protection, industrially, economically, morally and physically, should be granted first consideration over and above any type of "imported" labor so frequently sought in localities which place the advancement of self in preferment to the advancement of the American workingman, without whose life and labor there would not—there could not be a land of peace and prosperity. ASKS PHILIPPINE HOME RULE New York, Sept. 4.—Vicente Vilamin, a Filipino lawyer and writer, speaking at a luncheon at the Rotary club at the Hotel McAlpin, recently advocated on the twenty-seventh anniversary of American occupation of the Philippines, the granting of home rule for the Philippines, but advised against annexation or independence. He said the withdrawal of the Unit; ed States from the islands would bring about disintegration of Anglo-American unity in the Pacific, while independence would mean, among other things, loss of tariff protection to the islands and exhaustion of credit. "Anexation would be dangerous, impracticable and destructive of the constitutional traditions of America," he continued. "The most logical solution of the Philippine problem at this time is to establish home rule, but retaining the sovereignty of America, which shall remain intact and effective to curb excesses, and to prevent involving the Philippines or America in international complications." Mrs. S. H. Madison, 1236 Barnett avenue, passed away-last Saturday, after several years sickness. Mrs. Madison was a great sufferer and only was relieved when the Master took her away. She was a devoted Christian and the funeral was held Tuesday from First Baptist church, Rev. Mr. Enyard officiating. The family have the dept sympathy in their bereavement. Mrs. Leola Miller, 1010 State avenue, after several months, absence from First A. M. E. church Senior choir, on the church of illness, was at her post last Sunday for the first time of which every one was glad to see Mrs. Miller able to be out again. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER 14 WESTERN UNIVERSITY TO OPEN SEPTEMBER 7th Western University is ready to open its doors for this scholastic year next Monday, September 7th. Every thing has been made ready for the reception of a large attendance this year, says the president, F. J. Peck. Many new and old students have already reported and by the opening day the campus will see a large number of young men and women ready to enter upon the years work of brain food. While there has been a few changes in the teaching force this year, it has only been done where more effective work was needed. NORTHHEAST JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT DAYS The enrollment of students for Northeast Junior High School will be held on the following days: Ninth grade, Tuesday, September 8th; Eighth grade, Wednesday, September 9th; Seventh grade, Thursday, September 10th. All who did not enroll on these dates may do so, Friday, September 11th from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. J. D. KING, Dishion CENSUS OF RELIGIONS Washington, Sept. 4.—Next year the United States government is going to take a religious census of the country. It is done every ten years, in the years that end in "6" and the object is to learn how many men and women are church members; how many ministers there are; how many children are enrolled in the Sunday Schools; how much property the churches own. The census affords a valuable check on the progress or retrogression of the various denominations and sects. To get the desired information the government, through the bureau of the census of the department of commerce sends out two questionnaires. The first calls for data on the church itself, the second concerns the minister, priest or rabbi in charge of each congregation. The results of the latest religious census, taken in 1916, were published in two large volumes. The whole constitutes a compendium of ecclesiastical information which may be consulted in the larger libraries of the country. The scope and exact date of the census of religious bodies for 1926 have not yet been determined says E. W. Koch, Acting Chief Statistician for the population division of the bureau of the census. WILL SURVEY NEGRO BUSINESS WILL SURVEY NEGRO BUSINESS Washington, Sept. 4.—As a special and needed feature of the coming session of the Negro Historical Society, a group of delegates, headed by Mr. S. W. Rutherford, of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and joined by Mr. W. Gomez, of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, Prof. W. G. Pearson, noted educator; Mr. C. C. Paulding, of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company and other successful business men and merchants, will lay plans for a survey of Negro business in the United States. In view of the rapid rise of Negro business, it is thought that it would be particularly helpful to take an inventory of the assets, liabilities, problems, and practices of every unit and enterprise which is established under and manned by Negro business staffs. This inventory would later be available to prospectives who might in a scientific way, desire to build up, trade or clientele with the least possible chance of failure. "What to do, when to do, and how to do," will be the ultimate purposes of the survey. STOP, LOOK AND READ Grand picnic and barbecue, Quindaro park, Labor Day, September 7, 1925.

Kansas City, Kansas, September 4, 1925 Loaded With Sunshine TENTER (Copyright W. N. U.) LABOR DAY Rev. S. D. Rhone Burns Mortgage on Campbell Chapel A. M. E. Church Some weeks ago Bishop A. J. Carey presiding bishop of the Fifth Episcopal district, made a visit to Atchison. An enthusiastic reception was accorded him. A large audience greeted Bishop Carey at the Atchison High School, where he delivered a masterful address. Unquestionably this was one of the greatest affairs ever witnessed in Atchison. The leading white-Methodist minister, his congregation, the city attorney and other city officials were among the prominent visitors present. Few men have a wider and more intimate knowledge of world affairs than Bishop Carey, when a leader of our church appears before public bodies of both races and discusses great world problems with such clearness and comprehensiveness as did Bishop Carey; the influence of our church is greatly enhanced. In August, the Rev. Rhone, a brilliant and efficient young man, who is the present pastor of Campbell church cleared this historic church of its indebtedness and burned the mortgage. The ceremony was well planned and made a great impression upon the congregation. TABLET TO BE PLACED IN THE CHURCH OF CHRIST CHURCH, SUNDAY SEPT. 18 Trinity Institutional A. M. E.

The conference was led by an expert, H. M. Rice, of Maryland University, and H. W. Watheen, County Agent, of St. Marys County. Home gardening, poultry raising, and live stock improvement were among the kindred subjects discussed, while the female delegates present assisted in special demonstrations and otherwise took a lively interest in canning and general home economics. At the close of the meeting a vigorous appeal was made by Rev. John La Forge for a permanent organization of the Maryland colored farmers for the purpose of presenting a united front in behalf of group progress and the securing of valuable state and federal benefices, such as farm loans and the like. THE BIBLE Washington, Sept. 4.—The Bible is said to contain 60 books, 1,189 chapters, 31,173 verses, 773,692 words, and 3,380,489 letters. The middle verse is the eighth verse of the 118th Psalm.

COLUMBIAN BRIEFS Half of North Carolina's 86 Negro high schools are regularly accredited, and 16 high schools this year began the publication of school papers. A dispatch from Elizabethville, Belgian Congo, says religious fanatics in the neighborhood of Sakania, attempting to make forcible conversions, slaughtered fifty natives in one village. Each summer for seven years a Negro preachers' institute has been held at Bettis Academy, in the sand-hill country of western South Carolina. This year's attendance included 300 preachers and 180 teachers, and they spent four days in intensive study of educational and religious subjects, under the leadership of Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes and Slater funds. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, corn and its waste products now yield about 146 useful commodities, including such items as axle grease and face powder, shoe heels, and chair cushions, cigarette holders, and gun powder, incense and punk, phonograph records and shaving soap, shoe horns and varnish. The list in its entirety ranges from absorbents of nitroglycerine in the manufacturer of dynamite to xylose, a kind of sugar. The value of the corn crop to the American farmer, the Department of Agriculture says, is greater than the value of any other crop grown in the country.

NEGRO UNIONISTS PETITION RACE LEGISLATORS NEGRO UNIONISTS PETITION RACE LEGISLATORS Chicago, Sept. 4.—The value of race representation in legislation was recently shown during a session of the Illinois Legislature, when representatives of Negro trade unions affiliated with the A. F. of L., petitioned Negro representatives in the State legislature to support the pending injunction bill. The Negro unionists issued the appeal to check an attempt of friends of the injunction to divide the organized workers on racial lines. "An examination of the records of the American Federation of Labor will show that it has always stood for justice of the Negro worker," the colored unionists said. "Please understand that, as thoughtful members of our race, conscious of its need and problems, we are not assuming to take the position that prejudice and discrimination do not exist. But we insist that the way to remedy that condition, wherever it does exist, is not by arousing additional antagonism by taking a stand which would be injurious to our white brothers, but, rather, while insisting upon justice for the members of our own race, we also insist upon justice for all others. If it be true that, as members of the Illinois State Legislature, you have opposed labor legislation because of discrimination which has come to your attention, we earnestly hope that you change your attitude, so that while you continue to insist upon equality in the industrial field, you will at the same time do your utmost to promote legislation favorable to the working people of our state, and that you will help to minimize such racial prejudices and misunderstandings as now exist. Shall it be said, when the general assembly adjourns a few weeks hence, that the injunction-limitation bill, designed to promote the freedom which we all crave, was defeated because the Negro representatives in the law-making body voted against it? We hope not. We believe not." CITY BRIEF'S AND IN SOCIETY Miss S. Paey, who has been visiting in Lexington, Ky., and other cities returned home and reported a delightful time. Miss L. Bills also had a delightful visit in Kentucky. Miss Lillian Jacobs delegate from Iowa to the national educational congress is stopping with her aunt, Mrs. James Ford, 411 Virginia avenue.

(First Published August 28, 1925) Chick Embrvo in Glass For the first time In history, the de- velopment of the embryo of 2 warm- blooded animal has been carried ov under such conditions that it can be watched. This feat has been accom- plished by two scientists at the Uni- versity of Leyden, Dra. J. P. M. Yoge- laar and J. B. van den Boogert, who have placed common hens’ eggs, with the shells removed, In small glass dishes in an incubator, and have suc- ceeded in keeping the embryo alive and growing for five days. Hitherto the only way In which embryos could be studied has been by placing large numbers of eggs In the incubator and removing and opening them one by one at Intervals. By this older method It has been possible to study closely spaced stages of development, but not to observe the growth as a continuous process, now made possible by the new way. and odor. = FREE—fromafrernauseas Not flavored.

The girl said she would; whereupon the other said: "Well, will you please call up Westport XYZ and tell whoever answers to please take the potatoes off the fire, water the plants and leave the laundry on the side porch? And thank you, so much." And so far as the other passengers know the young woman did.—Kansas City Star. Policemen Use Tear Gas Tear gas such as was used during the World war is becoming more and more a weapon employed by the police in big cities in arresting violent criminals who resist. One policeman equipped with tear gas can now arrest a man or group of men with greater ease than 20 officers could formerly. The gas is loaded into the night stick or billy club and released by pressing a button. Police are being instructed by men who had experience with the gas during the war.

There is nothing new under the moon. 'The flapper of today is one with Tyre and Nineveh. Away in the incredible years when the first foundation slab of the Sphynx was laid, the Egyptian flapper was interfering with the process of its future by furtive glances cast on impressionable members of the board of works of the pharnohs. Cleopatra was a flapper. Shakespeare talks of her "hopping 40 paces down the public street." No one but a flapper could have adopted such a method of progression. Her freak of putting a valuable pearl in acid was sheer flapperishness. Helen of Troy was a girl of many destructive impulses. She would have run at any cost. Hence the wooden horse and the fall of Troy. At a little later period the skittish Venus was in the same capricious form when she prevailed upon the "Pious Aeneas" to break his journey with her. Horace in his songs invokes the name of Lalage and other maldens. It is safe to assume that two-thirds of them were little canaries who coyly responded to the lyrical advances of the Latin nightingale. In the heroic days the Grecian flappers took much more exercise than their Roman sisters. They were the forerunners of the modern sports girl, Here it may be well to indicate that flappers are not confined to any one class of communities, ancient or modern. They are just as frequent among the plebs as among the patricians. There is not the faintest doubt that ill-fated Marie Antolinette, in her early years at the French court, was an enchanting flapper. Another most unhappy woman, Mary Queen of Scots, was so full of espiegieric and fascination that John Knox, in Puritan Scotland, found her an easy victim to stern-browed persecution. Louise de la Valliere was not the obylicous type, but she was a type of flapper none the less. She was quite a little bird who attracted the long devotion of a fastidious king in a few flights. Her friend, Mile, de Tonnay-Charente, afterwards Mme. de Montspon, was a bird of brighter methods, but both were of the order sedulsante that captures kings and clerks alike. More hoydenish and darling than either of them was the gallant sister of Charles II, later Duchess d'Orleans. Charles' sister was as gay and larky as the most up-to-date New York fun seeker. She loved to dress in the apparel of men, as girls of today adore appearing in mock-masculine garb at fancy dress dances. Nell Gwyn was the very pink of flappers. Her smiles were as restorative as her oranges; and her kisses would have bucked up a regiment. Nell remained a flapper until the end. She never lost the arts of her grinning, impudent girlhood. Charles was a mighty good judge of the fair sex; and it is significant that he gave his best devotion to the queen and pride of flappers.—Book Notes. Early Protestants The name "Huguenots" was given to French followers of Calvin, Protestant leader of the Reformation. They suffered massacre at Vassy by the party of Gulse in 1562. This act led to the civil wars, which continued until the Edict of Nantes in 1598, when civil and religious liberty was confirmed to them. The massacre of St. Bartholomew occurred August 24, 1572, during a truce in the wars. The power the Huguenots galanced as a political party following the edict was of short duration, being destroyed in a few years by Louis XIII and his minister, Richelieu. Louis XIV, in 1685, revoked the Edict of Nantes, and as a result half a million Huguenots fled to England, Germany, the Netherlands. Switzerland and America.—Kansas City Star. Found It Easy to Forgive "You know the feeling, that flush of anger that comes over you when you're driving peacefully along a country road and suddenly hear a familiar sharp report," said the motorist. "You begin to curse and ask yourself why you didn't change that tire. Well, I was driving near the Oakland Hills Country and Golf club recently and all of a sudden 'Bang!' I got out to see which tire it was. They were all O.K. Then up comes a beknickered chap and starts apologizing for something. 'Sorry,' says he, 'sort of missed my aim and drove my pill into your rear fender.' Sure enough there was a dent in the fender and the ball was a short distance away. I was only too glad to forgive him."—Detroit News.

THE FEAT IT'S SO I HOT TONIGHT GOING IN AN SLEEP ON THE ROOM FLOOR I CAN SNEAK OUT WAKING Moore Surgeon KANSAS CITY, KANSAS BREADFRUIT HAS MYTHICAL ORIGIN Filipinos Believe It to Be Gift of a God. The mythical account of the origin of breadfruit is typical of the Turanian culture which still grips the soul of the common man in the Phillippines despite four centuries of Christian civilization. According to the breadfruit myth, there was once a prolonged famine which was so severe that the people were reduced to the extremity of subsisting upon "aracea," a sort of reddish earth declared to be edible. A poor man and his wife had only one son, whom they tenderly loved. Not being able to bear the sight of the slow starvation of this son during the fearful famine, the father vowed that he himself would die and become food for the child. He asked the special boon of Bathala, god of gods in the Philippine pantheon, that when he should be dead Bathala would convert his remains into a food, and Bathala granted the prayer. Thereupon the father told the afflicted mother to grieve no more, but when he should be dead to bury his head in one place, his vitals in another and his body in another. When she should hear the sound of a leaf falling, then of an unripe fruit, and then of a ripe fruit, she would know that his prayer had been answered, and hers and the child's life were to be spared. Death came to the father. The widow buried the heart and stomach in the garden bear the house, and Bathala lost no time in complying with his promise to a father ready to sacrifice life itself for a suffering child. Soon the widow heard a leaf fall, then an unripe fruit, then a ripe fruit. In a paroxysm of fear and hope she looked out into the garden—where behold! a breadfruit was growing! It was already full of ripened fruits curiously shaped like the human stomach! The famine was broken, the child's life saved, as the father had wished. Now, with many varieties of breadfruit growing without the least care throughout the Philippines, famine is not likely to recur in any degree of intensity; and if breadfruit does not suffice, there are bananas and coconut, each of which no doubt has quite as miraculous an origin as the breadfruit itself. THERHEADS EARN IT IM D TRY TO BE LIVING -I GUESS K IN WITH- G FANNY THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE CANT CLASS FLAPPER AS MODERN PRODUCT A point of controversy rises about Becky Sharp. Some women critics say that she was all mercenary; that she strove for worldly-position alone, and is therefore ruled out of the circle of young women whose main object is to charm for charm's sake. But Becky is certainly among the flappers by very reason of the fact that she employed her green eyes and her demure charms to her own great personal satisfaction. She placed her little nets everywhere, and was always gratified when a bumbling male fell in. Amelia Sedley, though the chaste heroin, was by no means devold of the cunning of Hanoverian girlhood. Her eyes were constantly cast down, but she could see as far through her eyelashes. She was, if anything, the more dangerous flapper of the two, as her modest alure never frightened off her admirers. She was "a good little thing." There are still a lot of good little flappers' who conquer by seeming self-affacing—Book Notes. TELLING TRIFLES Marriage soon cures a man of the flattery habit. Virtue is its own reward. It seldom gets an encore. Many a woman's chief aim is at a target called man. A good roadbed is the best place for the tired wheel. It is implious in a good man to be sad.—Shakespeare. A politician may shake your hand one day and you the next. Some mouths seem to be framed to do nothing but give orders. No one should blame Neptune for a second shipwreck.—Preault. A woman never tires of shopping as long as her hair stays in curl. Was this a happier world when $60 a month made both ends meet? If a benefactor has plenty of money, he is satisfied with a vote of thanks. Stir up a man's sentiment if you wish to convince him, not his sense of logic. Don't convince a man he is wrong unless you have to; he won't like you for it. The people who don't know right from wrong are generally in the wrong. About the rarest thing in the world is a small boy who looks happy when he is dressed up. The fellow who first discovered that honesty is the best policy had evidently tried them all. The Dyspeptic Philosopher suggests that every man has his price, subject to a cash discount. Many a man puts up a bluff without paying enough attention to the foundation thereof. Giving liberty to people who deserve it, involves, in a republic, giving it to many, who do not. You never can tell. The richest people in the world can't always raise the price of a little optimism. "Flapper" Always With Us Dora; the child wife, as Dickens drew her, was a flapper. She was inexpressibly silly, but was all David Copperfield's fancy painted her until he tried to make a housekeeper of her. Let us not be too hard on the flapper, asserting that she is a recent and highly undesirable kind of girl. There have been flappers throughout all the mighty ages of the ever-spinning globe, and will be until the globe loops its final loop.—Book Notes. Grant Farm a Cemetery Land in Missouri, known as the Grant farm, because the former President and Civil war general once lived there, has been bought for a church cemetery. The farm is near St. Louis and will be laid out in 28,000 lots, and improvements costing $500,000 will be made. Grant lived on the farm preceding the Civil war. FELIX, I HEAR A BURGLAR IN THE LIVING ROOM ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` SENTENCE SERMONS Do thy nearest duty.—Goethe. Be ashamed only of sin.—Wesley. There are no galns without palns. The epitaph perpetuates the unmade reputation. Human cordiality will not stand too much of a strain. If there is nothing in a man opportunity never troubles him. Don't annoy a silent man; he may be a reformed prize fighter. To get rich a man has to think; and he has to think in time. Wit is the wine of intellect and ill- nature turns it into vinegar. Being respectable is also being safe; which accounts for some of it. There are some who use humanity to serve their pride.—Dunham. Indifference sometimes wins where manifest desire stands no show. Don't blame a man for taking pride in his birth; it brought him here. That woman is childless who does not think her baby superior to all others. Few men are modest enough to believe themselves overestimated by others. Perfecting the science of meteorology will remove one more interesting uncertainty. The man who is domiciled in a village boarding house has no use for a local paper. Why have so many people the faculty of finding out things that are none of their business? Violets and dandelions make a charming combination; but the florists don't yet undertake it. Don't be slovenly in your dress. This applies to women only, as men are not supposed to wear dresses. Spanish Grandee Well Loaded With T The duke of Alba is a duke by four other titles than Alba. He is a marquis by ten titles attached to as many landed estates. He is the twenty-fourth count of Lemos—that title goes back beyond the year 1000—and he is count 13 times elsewhere. And he is hereditary constable of Navarre, once a kingdom not to be squeezed at. The duke's father, from whom he inherited all this nobility, died in New York 24 years ago. This does not end the mixed and marvelous blood boiling in the veins of this grandee who turns to the people. His family name is Fitz-James and he is tenth duke of Berwick in Scotland, which means he is descended straight from James the Second, the last of the Stuart kings of England. And it also means he is a descendant of Mary Queen of Scota. Wonderful Memory Representative La Guardia, whose memory is marvelous, said at a dinner in New York: "A course in mnemonics never comes amiss. Most people think they have good memories, but a lesson or two in mnemonics would show them that they're as bad, almost as the old lady. "The old lady said, you know: "My memory is excellent. There are only three things I can't remember. I can't remember names, I can't remember faces, and—and I forgot what the third thing is." Elephant Saved Keeper Louis Brecker, elephant keeper at the Philadelphia zoo, owes his life to Lizzie, one of his charges. Lizzie caught a huge iron gate as it fell from its hinges, with Brecker in its path. "Many say an elephant is slow, but they'll never make me believe that," said Brecker. "Lizzie took in the situation at a glance. Then she turned her head into that falling gate and stopped it while I walked out from under uninjured. Some elephant, Lizzie."
