ANTHONY-CLARK NUPTIALS KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE WALKER POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE HAPPILY MARRIED Vol. XI1 WA POPULAR YOUNG HAI One of the prettiest weddings of the season occurred Wednesday evening, December 16, when Miss Eunice Anthony and Mr. Alfred B. Clark were united in marriage at the home of the brides' parents, Dr. and Mrs. I. H. Anthony, 2020 North 3rd street at 8 o'clock. The spacious living doom where the ceremony was performed was beautifiully decorated with ferns and flowers. The bridal arch was erected in front of the mantel. The arch which extended almost to the ceiling was a mass of pink and white rosebuds, and green fern wound around its entire length, with a large pink and white bell suspended from the top. Droping from the bell, was a single large white rose. Immediately back of the arch was a mass of ferns with large pink and white roses thrust artistically through them. A similar mass of roses and ferns was placed before the large double windows. The lights were cunningly arranged to look like large pink and white roses; all over the house. The dining room was decorated with ferns. Upon the table, amid a mass of green, stood the large white bridal cake, beautifully decorated and topped with a tiny bride and groom. Prior to the ceremony, Prof. T. H. Reynolds sang "For You Alone," accompanied on the piano by little Miss Gladys Lagrone. Promptly at 8 o'clock, the bridal party assembled to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, played by Prof. T. H. Reynolds. Rev. W. A. Bowren, pastor of First Baptist church who performed the ceremony, the groom and his best man, Mr. James Spaulding, took their places before the bridal arch. The bride, on the arm of her father, descended the stairway, preceded by her maid of honor, Miss Edna Houston. The beautiful and impressive ring service was performed by Rev. Bowren, while Prof. Reynolds softly played "O. Promise Me." The brides' gown was of white crepe de chine, made beautifully simple, with a circular flounce diagonally across the front, and with the long straight bodice. Her bridal veil was held in place by a wreath of lilies-of-the-valley, and carried a boquet of mignonette and white bridal roses. Her only adornment was a string of pearls. The maid of honor was attired in a beautiful rose pink crepe-dechine gown, made girlishly simple, and carried a boquet of mignonette and pink rosebuds. Her hair ornaments and slippers were silver.

THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND, PUBLISHER LKE G COUPLE PPILY MARRIED SOUTH OBJECTS TO NEGRO DELEGATE . There was a halt in the proceedings of the National Student Federation formed in the national collegiate world court at Princeton, New Jersey, when K. C. Kizer, representatives of Louisiana State University withdrew from the executive committee because Miss Mabel Halloway, negro representative of Howard University, Washington, D. C. was placed on the same committee to represent the entire south. The original seven members of the committee met on December 13, with four national officers, and appointed seven other members, and selected them for their second meeting for next fall at University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Mr. Kizer was notified of the second meeting, and was asked to reunite with the committee. But Miss Halloway's appointment stands. There were several protests from other Universities, but there have been no more withdrawals from the committee. ADVOCATE OFFICE (Up Stairs) 516 MINNESOTA AVE.

Seldom has the passing of any person been marked with such glowing tributes as were paid to the memory of this splendid women, who died Thursday evening, December 10, at the family residence, 432 Greeley, after a very brief illness. The auditorium was crowded, and thirty-two ministers, members of the twincities Ministerial Alliance, were out to pay final respects to Mrs. Montgomery, and to condole with the bereaved husband, Rev. S. Montgomery and stricken son, Dr. L. T. Montgomery, D. D. S. Many and beautiful were the floral offerings in evidence. The many resolutions and condolences, both read and recited, proved how closely Mrs. Montgomery had entwined herself in the hearts of the members of her husbands' flock, and in the hearts of people all over the city in the one short year she had resided in their midst. Mrs. Montgomery was born in Henderson, Texas, and spent her childhood and early young womanhood there. She married Rev. Montgomery while he was pastoring the church at that place, while quite young, and still in school. After marraige she and her husband completed their courses finally graduating from Bishop College at Marshall, Texas. After leaving Henderson, Rev. Montgomery accepted pastorates in Marshall, Dallas and Waco, Texas, and later accepted a call to Stockton, California, from which place the family came to Kansas City, Kansas, in October, 1924. Mrs. Montgomery entered into her husbands church work with all her heart and soul and worked untiringly until no longer able to do so. She was ill less than one week. Besides her husband and son, she is survived by three brothers and three sisters. Interment was in West Lawn Cemetery. Out of town relatives who attended the funeral were Mr. J. J. Jefferson, brother, of Muskogee, Okla.; Mrs. Gertrude Jones, cousin, of Dallas, Texas; Mrs. Lulu Erwin, of Muskogee, Okla.

Statement of Ed Marshall taken December 17th, 1925 at City Hall Kansas City, Kansas. I, Ed Marshall live in Rosedale, Kansas. In September 1925, I don't remember the exact date of the month, I was arrested in Kansas City, Kansas, tried in the police court and was found guilty. Received $100 fine and sentenced to thirty days in the city jail on a charge of vagrancy and escaping from the work house. In due time I was made a trusty, in the police garage. One day, I don't remember the exact date one Sam Walker came to the garage and called me to him. He told me to come around to the back of the garage where they kept the ambulance. Sam wanted to know if I wanted a drink of whiskey. I said yes. I drank from one bottle, we finished that and we drank from another and then from another making three bottles we drank from. A little later on I asked the chief of police Wollard if I could go and visit my mother. He gave me his permission. I went home and on my way back at 5th and Wyandotte street Kansas City, Mo., I met Sam Walker. He asked me where I was going and I told him I was going back to jail as I had been gone long enough. Sam persuaded me to come and go with him and I refused at first. Finally I decided to go with him. We went to the "Hole in the Wall" a cabaret on Independence and Forest Ave. I was broke and Sam bought some whiskey. He pawned his overcoat for $5 and bought more whiskey losing the balance in a crap game. We finally decided to see some girls and we came over to the Police Garage in Kansas City, Kansas. Walker went in first and I followed behind. Walker released the brakes on the Police Car Willys Knight and it rolled back to the door and we both got in the car and went back to the "Hole in the Wall" and got more whiskey. I got so drunk I went to sleep but woke up later. Walker said he wanted to see a girl out on 24th and Tracy Ave. We hired a fellow to drive us for awhile but later I took the wheel and was driving when I ran into a tree and wrecked the car. I went one way and Sam went another. Both were in the car when the accident happened. Since then I have been hiding out until I was arrested Nov. 13th in Kansas City, Mo. I was held in jail there until December 17th when I signed a waiver to come back to Kansas City, Kansas, without extradition papers. This statement made by me on this 17th day of Dec. 1925 and is true of what happened the night the Police Car Willys Knight was wrecked. It is made by me without any leniency promised or threats of violence. ED MARSHALL ADVOCATE OFFICE (Up Stairs) 516 MINNESOTA AVE.

EUGENE POSEY SERIOUSLY HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT EUGENE POSEY SERIOUSLY HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT Mr. Eugene Posey, 1307 Ann Ave., was seriuosly injured on Saturday evening as he was preparing to board a West bound Quindaro Blvd. street car at Sixth and Main streets. As the street car came to a stop, a motor car driven by a white man whose name was not ascertained, dashed through the safety zone, struck Mr. Posey, throwing him violently to the pavement. Mr. Posey's face and head were bruised almost beyond recognition, his nose was broken and his body cut and lacerated in a number of places. He was unconscious when removed to the Old City Hospital for emergency treatment, and was later removed to Wheatly Provident Hospital, where he regained consciousness. He has not yet been able to give a coherent account of the accident, except that he was struck by the car as he attempted to board the street car. X-ray pictures have been taken of Mr. Poseys' injuries, but, as yet the attending physicians are unable to know just how permanently serious they may be. The driver of the car was apprehended, but was released later on bond. Charges are pending the outcome of the accident. Mr. Posey is a young man, well thought of in his community, and is a splendid young citizen of Kansas City, Kansas. He is a nephew of Mrs. C. R. Johnson, 2068 N.

Resolutely refuse to surround yourself with an army of doubts, fears, and anxieties. Vigorously dis- pel these foes of your success and a happiness, or they will undermine your future. Be firmly convinced that you are made in the image of perfection, designed for success and happiness, and that you have the pow- er to strangle evils which would thwart you. Never admit defeat and poverty, though you seem to be down, and have not a cent. Stoutly assert your di- | yine right to be a man and hold your head up and look the world in the face. Step bravely to the front, what- ever opposes and the world will make way for you. No one will insist upon your rights while you yourself doubt you have any. Hold firmly to the con- viction that you possess the qualities requisite for success. Never allow yourself to be a traitor to your own cause by undermining your self-con- fidence. There never was a time before when persistent, original force was so much in demand as now. The namby-pam- by, nevertheless man has little show in the hustling, bustling world of to- day. In the twentieth century a man must, therefore, push or be pushed. Every one admires the man who can assert his rights, and has power to demand and take them if denied him. No one can respect the man who slinks in the rear and apologizes for being in the world.

Lock, of Argentine, gave a nice donation from the ladies in her community to the Orphan's Home Bazaar. THE NEGRO The foregoing is a conspicuous topic from the President's message. It is manly. It is just. But conditions ought not to warrant any citizen, much less the First Citizen of our country in making such an appeal to nine-tenths of our countrymen for fair play to the other tenth. American citizenship should be so secure, so safe-guarded, so universal, that its humblest claimant might enjoy its proudest prerogative. In fact, it ought to mean that Roman citizenship meant in pagan Rome's palmiest days. Roman citizenshiu knew no color, no race, no creed. When the Christian Jew, Paul,( inquired: "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Christian and a despised Jew that is a Roman and uncondemned?" The authorities forgot that Paul was an ostracised Christian and a despised Jew. It, however, is difficult for some of our fellow citizens to see the American citizen in the Negro, so much so that their contempt is expressed in spelling the designation with a small "n." Notwithstanding the Negro has contributed in no small degree in making America what it is. But the Negro is asking no favors. He simply desires that on one "will help the bear."

Robinson, Mgr THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE REAL ESTATE DEALERS Sunday school opened at 9 A. M. with Supt. W. P. Thomas. It was largely attended. At 11 A. M. the Pastor Rev. E. M. Hoseley preached a strong sermon. Subject: "Origin and Nature of Man." Gen. 2:7. He outlined so beautifully how the Lord formed man out of the dust of earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. And man became a living soul. Here are two principles: 1. Material, the other imaterial. This has been a great question throut the world and in all ages every effort has been made in ancient and modern times to gather facts which would throw light upon it. The soul is not material, nor the body spiritual. The soul acts upon the body and body upon the soul. But when the soul leaves the body, the body bears the image of earthly. It is bone of bone, muscle of muscle, nerve of nerve of the animal creation. It has the brute passions yet the human is far above the animal. There have been in history discussions and theories have been advanced, to account for the soul. First, that of the pre-existence; Second, traduction, or the child derives its soul from parents; Third, creation, or that the soul is immaterial and indivisible. A spirit which comes from God. The spirit does not die but is immortal in the Old Testament. God is not God of the dead, but of the living. Read what Paul says in Cor. 15:35-54. B. Y. P. U. had a largely attended group.

Y. — Detroit, Michigan, last week, witnessed the upsetting of American and Anglo-Saxon traditions. The chivalry of a dozen men in a climate not given to producing passionate emotions would not allow them to recommend the annulment of a marriage, simply because there coursed through the bride's veins the slightest vintage of Africa. Then another twelve men in the other city in the same latitude could not agree to announce to the world that the Lord of his castle must not defend it, even though he was a Negro. It is too early to comment on the latter case, because the jury is vet to be panneded to retry it. Still, however, the result may be, the decision will but accentuate the one rendered at New Rochelle, which can sing as did the poet of its European prototype: "And thou, Rochelle, our own Rochelle, pround city of the waters, Again let rapture light the eyes of all thy mourning daughters." When we observe Anglo-Saxon cowardice mass itself with arms and take an uncondemned and defenseless victim of another race, string him up, shoot holes through him and burn him to a crisp, permitting photographs of the scene to be taken, and then, with an utter disregard for Anglo-Saxon law dismiss the incident without disclosing a single perpetrator, as was the case recently at Excelsior Springs, Mo. Is it small wonder that the victim's race will say hard things about the race of his murderers? But despite these things we must discriminate, we must admit that there are a lot of fine people in the white race, lovers of fair play, good scouts. Possibly the most recent evidence of this was at New Rochelle.
