Black Men: Vote For The Franchise and A Better Kansas City A FEARLESS DEFENDER OF THE RACE VOLUME VI. NUMBER 44. RELIGIOUS REFORM QUALITY FIRST IN RELIGION! Clean Living the Best Evidence of Faith. (By Charles A. Starka.) It has been the undeviating policy of this department of the Sun to speak out boldly on the most "touchy" questions of the day. Perhaps some unpleasant things have been said out of pure necessity, but even those have been stated as pleasantly as conditions would permit. We claim no new discovery in religious thought, nor do we speak of certain inconsistencies or practices that have not been spoken of before both by press and pulp, but rather assume the telling phraseology of Mark Anthony and say: "We only tell you that which you yourselves do know," and give you incontrovertible facts. Pure and undefiled we like the Negro character, believing his generally good natured makeup unsurpassed by none. He is not given to prejudices that cannot be overcome by education, and even in his religious antics, CHAS. A. STARKS. he may be said to lean towards virtue's side. The only trouble here is that he makes a luxury of his religion, so to speak, and overlooks the daily bread that is so essential to the very thoughtful. Our custom of having chicken (that most savory tow) on Sunday, morning is humorously but exactly illustrative of many in their worship; they only take their morning meal (spiritual) with Christ on Sunday, and are thus satisfied till the next Seventh day. When we accustom ourselves to carrying our religious thought into every avenue of life—when we demand higher standards of living in our society—when we insist that the righteous shall rule—when we learn as followers of Christ that we are to demonstrate over sin everywhere, then it will not be necessary to dwell on such facts as we give below. Unseemly Things. - Waste, neglect and uncleanliness are sinful and have the same demoralizing effect as so-called greater sins, it is the old story over again sins of "commission and omission." Misappropriation of funds has been the poison of church management, a prodigal use of the people's energy is a prevalent sin, the neglect of church property is a common crime and unclean living is the social scourge of its people. That we are wasteful of both money and energy cannot be denied we lavish our money in wrong and sinful directions ad waste our energy in vain reptitions even in our very services to God. Anything pertaining to religion is best enacted in a clear, calm and pleasant manner, doing your alms without sounding brass and fasting with a clean smiling face and always having understanding for your guide. The neglect of property, we say, is a common crime and it is one of the saddest phases of church life. After a long struggle of the people to erect a worthy building and equip it with common comforts and facilities which are necessary, it is sad, we repeat, to see any building in advanced stages of delapidation, window sills rottening, bricks falling out, general aspect unimproved—unpainted and uncared for. Does not this outer appearance reflect too truly the inner life of its people? To properly care for and appreciate what God has already given is more truly Christian than offering up long prayers for more blessings which we do not deserve. His unwillingness to improve upon the one talent was the offense that brought down the censure of the Master upon the servant of old. We are no better in our day when we neglect that which God has already given whether it be spiritual or material for God is the giver of all good. Perhaps the Negro has more church property in cities than any other kind, then from several standpoints church buildings should be models of neatness and trimness in both exterior and interior order. God will not give to a person the deeper spiritual truths which cannot appreciate their material advantages. And he even asks substantially: If you cannot understand the material, how do you expect to discern the spiritual? In keeping property, big churches should employ real saniters to take care of the building and its premises and they should be paid a living wage, not less than $50 a month and it should be paid promptly, too. And an efficient service should be demanded. Then repairs would take place at once. The Kansas City Sun windows kept clean, broken gas globe replaced, church opened at the proper time—properly heated, and above all properly ventilated. A first class janitor can paint, do carpenter work or anything about a building for the other race, why not for us? Uncleanliness was the one thing that ever came up before the pure minded Master in his association with men. Whether flesh or soul this apparent evil insinuated itself only to evoke a devine demonstration of truth's power to cleanse and heal of all uncleanliness. Sometimes it was a man with a devil (evil) or a woman with an unclean spirit (immoral tendency), sometimes it was hypocrisy classed as the Scribes and Pharisees all of which Christ rebuked calling out the evil and healing the unclean. Today we are burdened with the same problems and if we are to solve them properly we must again "seek that mind which was also in Christ Jesus." We must cast out evil and the unclean spirit and rebuke the hypocrite for his or her great pretension and little practice. The hypocrite can be excluded (largely) from our churches by the good people who will insist on certain qualifications for every one making application for membership. The unclean can be cured by a demonstration of the Christ spirit by all. If the church has not this power then it should strive earnestly to gain it, that it is needful is too apparent. And here the writer cannot understand just why well known buffet flat keepers and their patrons—revelers—disreputable characters and other misfits should be retained or admitted to the "congregation of the Lord," without at least some sign of reform or fitness. He does understand though that such a loose qualification as this is not exclusive of any one, namely, "Belleve him with your heart and confess him with your mouth," which anyone can do and stand still. How often has the heart proven fickle? Or the lips testified to a lie? We like that scientific truth which observes: "By their fruits we shall know them," and so it has been down the countless ages. If you love me keep my commandments," is rigid but not unattainable. And there is elevation in trying. The fact that we are able to keep one or several of the commandments signifies the possibility of keeping them all. This much no one has lost anything trying to realize their highest import. By all means we should reach out after higher spiritual things. If we can sacrifice and struggle for a fine church edifice and a sixteen hundred dollar organ surely we can make some unusual efforts in reaching out for more spirit. We don't truly sacrifice 'till we lay our selfish and material thoughts upon the altar of truth. When we do this I see a brighter day appearing with Truth's morning star revealing itself in the heavens and illuminating the world's horizon with nobler rays of light as it issues from its vast darkness. LAWYER C. H. CALLOWAY FOR FRANCHISE. To the Kansas City Sun: The Metropolitan Street Railway Company are asking the people of Kansas City, Mo, to ratify a contract on July 7, which will enable them to give adequate service, make extensions and put on its tracks better and more commodious cars. Some of our object to riding in cars that are packed like sardines in boxes. What is the reason for this? They have not the money to buy more cars. Where is the money to come from? It must come from the East and the financiers are not going to put their money in a proposition that is al ready in the hands of receivers, but in this contract their rights, as well as those of the city, will be protected. Several years ago I was against the franchise, but at that time it was not in the hands of receivers, but today it is, and if this franchise will help get it out, let us pull together. We have a lot of civic pride, and it is embarrassing to Kansas Citians when they are told by people of other cities that they are not capable of running their street car system. In voting for the franchise, we are protecting the stockholders. Many of them live in Kansas City, and have done much to make Kansas City a good place to live in. Are you going to be an enemy to the welfare of Kansas City and keep out capital, or would you rather assist her in rising to those heights of prosperity and contentment that other cities have reached? What does the passing of this contract mean? To my mind it means more work for the laboring man, better cars, better times and more cars. It will be an encouragement and invitation to capital. I think 5 cents fare with universal transfer in Missouri and Kansas is all that we could ask at this time, and children from 8 to 12 years 2½ cents, and children under 8 years accompanied by persons paying fares, free. Would you rather pay a 5-cent fare and have universal transfers or pay 3 cents without? Take Chicago, e. g. It is impossible to go from the north side without paying an extra fare. Let the Negroes look well before they let the opportunity slip to help themselves. How can you think of voting any other way than for the franchise when you pass along the highway and see scores of Negroes working for the street car company? We are benefited either directly or indirectly KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY.. JUNE 27, 1914. NELSON C. CREWS' PREDICTION. To the Colored Voters of Kansas City :— After having studied carefully the Provisions of the New Franchise submitted by the Mayor, the Common Council and the Metropolitan Street Railway Company and fully believing that its Provisions satisfy the demands and meet the approval of every biased, fair-minded and unprejudiced Citizen of this City, I predict that the same over whelming, crushing and triumphant plurality yof 10,000 given to Henry L. Jost in the last Municipal Campaign by men of all political affiliations, as a testimonial of their appreciation of his integrity and devotion to the interests of Kansas City and as a rebuke to the bulldozing, unfair and unscrupulous methods of the Star and Times will be the same enthusiastic, militant and triumphant majority that will be given FOR THE FRANCHISE—BECAUSE, it represents the sentiment OF THE PEOPLE which cannot be swayed nor hindered by an unscrupulous and self-serving publication.

HEAR HON. W. CLARENCE HUESTON. After a careful perusal of the proposed contract to be submitted to the people on the 7th day of July, 1914, on the question of the extension of the franchise, I am of the opinion that the contract is a fair one. The people of Kansas City, Mo., are interested, first, in adequate service, and I believe that this contract provides for such service. Second, they are interested in the cost of transportation. After a study of the different systems I am of the opinion that the one in our town, which gives universal transfers is in the end much cheaper than those that give six tickets for a quarter and one transfer, as is the custom where tickets are sold for a cheaper rate. In addition to believing that the contract is a fair one, I am for the granting of this franchise for the reason that the Metropolitan Street Railway Company in its laboring department does not draw the color line. The Metropolitan Street Railway Company employs more Negroes than any other corporation in Kansas City, Mo. The bread and butter line, so far as the Negro is concerned, is being drawn so tightly around the throat of Negroes in discriminating against them to the end that it is almost impossible for a Negro to get work in Kansas City, and because of this I have finally decided that the thing for us to do is to stay with those people who believe in giving us, --- McVey Put Pelkey "To Sleep."

DECLARES IT FAIR TO ALL Decision Reached After Having Studied Question From All Sides—Not One Objection. Judge William C. Hook, administering the receivership of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, issued an order this morning recommending to all the parties interested in all the properties that the proposed franchise be adopted and that all the provisions of the ordinance be carried out. The approval of Judge Hook was necessary before the franchise could be submitted to the people under the terms of section one. If there was one point objectionable to the court it was within the power of the court to say that the ordinance should not be submitted. After going over the ordinance thoroughly, Judge Hook issued his order approving the action of the receivers. He viewed the franchise from the standpoint of the company, the city and the people as a whole. The court's approval of the franchise means that it is considered fair for everybody. The order is made with reference to all lines in the system. The order follows: "In the District Court of the United States for the Western Division of the Western District of Missouri. "Kansas City Railway & Light Company, complaintant, vs. Metropolitan Street Railway Company, et al., defendants. In equity No. 3720. Old Colony Trust Company, complaint, vs. Metropolitan Street Railway Company, et al., defendants. In equity No. 3904.

(Signed) WILLIAM C. HOOK, Circuit Judge." BLACK EYE IF THE FRANCHISE LOSES. Every Property Owner and Business Man Will Feel Its Effect. MEANS YEARS OF STRIFE. General Manager Young of Montgomery Ward & Co. Gives His View. Speaking for himself and for what he believes to be the best interests of the 2,000 employees of Montgomery Ward & Co., the big mail order house at Nineteenth and Campbell streets, which is completing a plan costing more than $1,000,000 at St. John and Belmont avenues, Andrew Young, general manager of the plant in Kansas City, yesterday placed his hearty indorsement on the street railway franchise. "I realize that we do not want to see the welfare of Kansas City damaged further," said Mr. Young. "No city can develop without adequate street car service. My opinion is that the mayor has obtained about the best franchise possible for our street car users. I also realize that if this franchise does not carry it means a foreclosure. If that should occur it would cause a dismemberment of the lines, which then would be operated individually without transfers and the whole matter would be tied up in the courts for years, thereby seriously retarding the development of Kansas City. Former Warning Recalled. "This is something, I feel sure, that no fair-minded man wants to see. Kansas City already has been given a black eye from which it will suffer for years to come. I know that some persons scoff when one speaks of foreclosure proceedings and probable dismemberment of the lines. 'Oh, they won't do that,' they say. 'Have no fear, never worry, they won't do that.'" "But I recall that when the franchise question was up in December, 1909, and the people were told that if the company could not obtain an extension to its franchise to enable it to borrow money to pay its debts, it would have to go into the hands of receivers, these very same people who now scoff at the suggestion of a franchise were just as loud in saying then, 'Oh, have no fear, never worry, there will be no receivers. That's just a bluff. They won't do that.'" "But I recall that receivers were appointed when the franchise failed to carry, just as the people were warned. Therefore, I have no reason to doubt that foreclosure proceedings would be pushed should this franchise fall. ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME PRICE. 5c. Dr. Wm. J.

In taking a position on public affairs, my first interest has always been for the welfare of Kansas City's minority, my people the black folk. Relative to the Metropolitan Street Railway Franchise I have taken a position only after careful investigation from a standpoint of civic pride and racial interest. I shall not attempt to go into all of the details of the franchise for this has been done by the city experts and has been adopted by the upper and lower house of the city council and has been endorsed a sane business proposition by the Commercial Club; that body of men who guard and control the destiny of Kansas City's present and future com DR. WM. J. THOMPKINS, One of Kansas City's most eminent physicians and surgeons—white or black, who gives in this issue of The Sun many valid reasons why the Colored people of this city should support the Metropolitan franchise. social life; the history and record of which stand as an open book to the public. For four years Kansas City has been embarrassed before the world because her commercial interests were thrown in a chaotic state as a result of false representations to the people by the Kansas City Star. Let us as a race take a retrospective view and ask ourselves: can we rely on what the Kansas City Star says in regard to any proposition? The Metropolitan Street Railway Company employ 600 Negroes daily with a payroll amounting to $7,500 per week which represents $390,000 per annum as salaries to my people. The Kansas ICity Star employs two Negroes to load the heavy paper trucks at $12.50 per week each which amounts to $1,200 per annum. The Armour Packing Co. employs 2,800 men, 25 per cent of this number are Negroes and there is a constant demand for unlimited Negro labor at the packing plant. Mr. Charles W. Armour, the president of this firm, is the stockholder of the Metropolitan Street Railway Co. It was he as one of the members of the hospital and health board that made it possible for the Negro nurses and internes to be placed in the old city hospital. It is the Armour interest in Chicago that make possible the existence of Provident hospital, the pride of the Negroes of Chicago. During the existence of Douglas hospital in Kansas City, Kae, Mr. Armour has lent valuable aid to its support. I might go on speaking of the pension list of old Negroes who get not only their family provisions weekly but their pay as well, but space will not permit the same. On the other hand, may we ask: what has Mr. William R. Nelson, editor of the Kansas City Star, done for the Negro? Is this not a most splendid opportunity for us as a race to show gratitude to those who make it possible for us to succeed? I do believe my people are ever grateful to those who help us to make our opportunities better. I do believe there is in the heart of every Negro in Kansas City that racial pride which makes him keenly responsible to that desire to take advantage of this occasion and show Mr. Armour that you want to return your appreciation in support and loyalty to him and that institution which has made possible many of our home necessities. With the same undaunted courage which is a characteristic of our race go to the polls on July 7 with your 8,500 votes in the same spirit as you did last April when you elected Henry L. Jost mayor of Kansas City. Pay your debt of gratitude and thereby make Kansas City a great big place in which to live. DR. WM. J. THOMPKINS.

FIGHTING FOR LIFE. Father and Son, Because the Latte Tried to Protect His Aged Parents —Let Us Help Financially. Colorado State Penitentiary. Hon. N. C. Crews, Dear Sir: I am enclosing herewith a copy of a decision handed down by the supreme court of Colorado in regard to my case, which was hastily tried in district court of Otero county at La Junta, Colo., in July, 1911, where I was instantly convicted and sentenced to death and my aged father, a man of near 83 years, was also convicted as an accomplice and sentenced from 30 to 50 years at hard labor in state penitentiary. I was sentenced to death for protecting my aged father and mother, in their own home, and my life at the cost of the lives of the two brutal, inhuman, prejudiced, Negrohating, lawless policemen who were assaulting my mother and father, and seeking to murder me. But after being denied a new trial by the judge trying my case, my attorney, Ex-Judge Lyman I. Henry of Pueblo, Colo., assisted by W. B. Townsend, attorney-at-law of Denver, Colo., aided at great expense by good citizens of both races and members of my lodge, the R. T. Coles lodge, No. 86, A. F. and A. M. Kansas City, Mo., and my father's, Prudent lodge, No. 6, A. F. and A. M., Kansas City, Kas., I succeeded in getting our case to the supreme court, which readily reversed the judgment of the lower court, and granted me a new trial which will soon come. Now, dear sir, the fight has just commenced as the prejudiced class in that community are determined that the sentence imposed on my father and myself be carried out, and they will use every means in their power to gain their hellish ends, and to thwart all in their desire to see me get justice. I appeal to you for financial aid, if you can assist me in any way through the columns of your paper, or otherwise, to meet the financial demands involved, it will be greatly appreciated. My reason for sending you a copy of the supreme court's decision and comments, is for you to see clearly it was not an act trying or attempting to defy the law in any way, but one of protecting my parents and my life. I again beg to state that I am a worthy member of R. T. Coles lodge, No. 86, Kansas City, Mo., and my father, Joseph Harris, of Prudent lodge, No. 6, Kansas City, Kas, being a 32 degree man and a 33 degree gentleman. So I appeal to you most earnestly, that you may do for us what you can. You may refer to your repective lodges as to our standing. Should you feel disposed to aid us forward same to my mother, Mrs Clara Harris, No. 1319 River street Canon City, Colo., as she is striving to gain us justice and every one locks to her to be paid for any expense in curred in helping father and me.

One evening this week at the close of a very busy day I drew me up at my desk. Before me was scattered a mass of newspapers, all bearing the distinction og colored. My already tired brain and sum strained eyes almost refused the task that was set before. But from somewhere and somehow I gained courage, and plunged in by stitting with the one on top—it was the Oklahoma—O, there I go, I didn't mean to call any names, but the press work on that particular journal was so poor that one could not even properly translate the answers to Booker Washington's article, asking for better traveling accommodations for Negro passengers over certain railroad lines; which was bravely undertaken. The Dallas Express came in for a similar criticism while the Boston Alliance and Conservative Counselor is void of that harmonious toning with other parts of the papers on account of too much front page advertisement. In others there were similar and even more grievous errors. The colored papers that take first rank in typographical cleanliness and mechanical accuracy are the Amsterdam News, Richmond Planet, Kansas City Sun, and New York Age. It is with no small degree of appreciation that I review the merits and demurits of these journals and journalists, who are struggling as I am; for to publish a Negro journal at this period means sacrifice at every stopover. I see written in great red headlines at the head of the meanest effort in the way of a Negro journal these words "Self Sacrifice." Our readers are more sensitive to literary abuse in a race paper than they are to the big dailies. I often have a man come into my office to complain about a stick of matter upside down in the last issue of an article that was backed up the wrong way. Now, if he, perhaps, knew that my day had been 36 hours instead of eight in comparison with his, instead of criticising he would step in and offer to pay his subscription with the hope that his mite might help a little in relieving the situation. For whenever you see faults standing out conspicuously in Negro papers there is but one conclusion to come to, and that is that finance is oh, so short. Now, don't stand apart and laugh jeeringly or criticise an effort that you yourself are not brave enough to make. If you cannot give thousands, you can give the widow's mite and the least you pay on your subscription will be precious in the editor's sight.—California Eagle. ADVERTISE YOUR SOCIETY.

JACK JOHNSON "RIGHT." Paris, June 12.—Jack Johnson is using the same tactics in preparing for his fight with Frank Moran that he employed in Australia when he was getting into shape to fight Tommy Burns for the championship. "Daddy" Vienne, promoter of the Johnson-Moran contest, called up Johnson's mansion the other morning, intending to speak to Johnson's valet. Instead of the valet it was Johnson who answered the telephone. Vienne was startled to hear Johnson's voice and asked him what he meant by being at home at 10 o'clock in the morning and wondering why he wasn't on the road working out. Johnson explained that he had already covered ten miles that morning. Instead of waiting until near noon to do his road work Johnson is out drilling when dawn breaks. He did the same thing in Australia and it worked well. By the time the average fighter rolls out of ben, Johnson has done half a day's work. Afternoon Teas Popular. The big champion is still conducting his afternoon teas. At these sessions Johnson does some real boxing, shadow fighting, bag punching, tosses the medicine ball, skips the rope and does numerous other things, to the delight of fashionable men and women who pay money for the privilege of seeing him train. It is noticeable that the majority of his followers are Americans. Many delight in the remark, "I knew him in Chicago." Whether they did or not they willingly plank down a five spot, the price of admission. It is persistently rumored that Theodore Roosevelt will be among the spectators at the fight and many have evinced a desire to attend since they heard the quiet "tip" that will not down. Johnson's present condition is a surprise to those who can judge. Several days' work has taken off several pounds of superfluous flesh. He has regained much of his speed and stamina, looks trained to the minute and his sparring shows little of a long period of idleness. All the talk and deduction about his being "all in" falls to make good. Experts agree that he is all there. VISIT THE New Negro Enterprise Known as the Fad Studio A First Class, Up-to-Date Gallery.

The "Kansas City Spirit" is asserting itself with a vengeance in this franchise campaign. "Coming events cast their shadows before," which means the franchise will carry by 10,000 majority. Republicans! Stop following the selfish and treacherous leadership of the Star and let us stand in this franchise, fight for the same principles that made our party the greatest in the world.—Justice and Right. Dear Editor: We thought the "announcement evil" was to be abated at the popular Allen Chapel but it appears to have taken on a new form and is more wearisome than ever. Now the ad vertisements are interspersed through out the entire service and require the offices of at least three church officials each Sunday morning. Even the printed announcements in the Bulletin for which the church pays are read to the congregation, presumably to catch those who may have forgotten their glasses. At any rate it is all very tiresome. The length of the service makes people come late, the sacredness is sorely interrupted and it is no wonder that more people do not return to the evening services. I. M. BORED. There is a growing class of middle-aged women which may properly be called "man-mad." They literally haunt their male acquaintances and lose their heads over the slightest attention. They telephone men at all times and places, enlist a hord of runners to help round them up and resort to all sorts of undignified measures to attract favorable notice. That sort of conduct, of course, produces a result just opposite to the one desired. No real man respects such a woman. If she is worth what he will seek her. If she is not worth while he will avoid her. The growing class of "man-mad" women is simply encouraging the bachelor list and will bring the whole gentler sex into lighter consideration.

FANCIES OF FICTION. It is generally agreed that one of the chief objects of a work of fiction is to entertain. There are occasions upon which we expect to be bored, but not when we pick up the latest popular novel. There is no law compelling a man to read logic; when he does so, it is of his own volition, and he should not be disappointed at the lack of excitement and romance. In fiction, however, we do not expect logic, and if we did we should be sorely disappointed. Not only is there a total absence of logic, but frequently even common sense. And speaking along that line let me ask, is it really necessary for the hero of a stirring romance to be a chump? Solid worry seems to be the main constituent of the average hero's dome, and we have often wondered if a romance could be written in which the hero might be permitted to have ordinary common sense. Ever notice how he usually falls down at the critical moment, putting both himself and the heroine in bad and otherwise mussing up the game? He generally is lucky enough to win his bride in the end, but that is due more to the author's cunning than the hero's intelligence. But to return to the original thesis, we have a right to be entertained—that is, our sold perogative. And, too, we should be entertained in a manner that is sane and wholesome. A work of fiction should impinge on life, it should reflect, interpret and embody life, it should be big with life and its problems. The story ought to be humanly possible, and the characters ought to embody the spirit and aspirations of men and women. From this viewpoint most of our modern novels fall. Wild and impossible plots, superhuman or else sub-human characters, bizarre and improbable situations, unexpected and fantastic denouncements, extravagant presentations, artificial interpretations of life, superficial views of social forces—these and many like defects are painfully in evidence. Do our society novels give a true picture of social life? If so, let us pray. Aside from the general shallowness, inanity and superficiality of social ideals as depicted therein there is no end of suggestions of downright wickedness. And as for those habits which themselves are not wicked, but which lead to social disorder and decay—their name is legion. Ever notice the vast amount of drinking referred to in our modern fiction? Leave out that expression "brandy and soda" and no ARMOUR AND THE METROPOLITAN. Does Armour own the controlling interest in the Metropolitan Street Railway company, or what interest does he hold? This seems to be a stumbling block to a great many people who think he owns the controlling interest and for that reason they do not want to vote for the franchise. Mr. Armour owns 16 1-3 per cent of the STOCK of the Metropolitan Street Railway company. He holds no bonds, notes or mortgages, according to the books of the company. MR. ARMOUR THEREFORE DOES NOT CONTROL THE COMPANY. What if he did Colored Men; the Sun asserts without fear of successful contradiction that the Armour interests have been and are now the LARGEST EMPLOYERS of Negro labor in the West—and—the Negro is both GRATEFUL and LOYAL to his friends. Would to God there were more men like Armour. novel of this day could be written. Two or more characters never come together for any purpose without first calling for drinks. Drink, drank, drunk Federation of Clubs. The general secretary appreciates very much the opportunity given to present the V. W. C. A. work to the Will some one kindly explain why the heroes of our popular novels always have rea hair. "Spun gold with sunlight shot through it." Only Coralie iSanton and Heath Hosken, dare to violate this formula. Are there no beautiful dark-haired women on earth? Surely there are. But fiction says: "Her hair was like the red gold tint of a summer sunset." ALLEN CHAPEL NOTES. Quarterly meeting was largely attended last Sunday and the collections were good and several additions to the church...Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley of St. Louis will be at Allen next Sunday in the interest of the Allen Christian Endeavor and will lecture Monday night at the church. Mrs. Halen is State President of the League and all of the leagues of the city will be present. Her subject will be "The Emancipation of Woman." Admission 10c...Allen's rally for the new Ward hall at Quindaro will be the first Sunday in July and we are expected to raise enough money to equip a class room in the new building. More will be said about this matter next Sunday at our services. Allen was shocked last Sunday to hear of the death of Rev. Jas. A. Wilson, one of the pioneer presiding elders of the church...Quite a few of the members and the pastor attended the District Conference at Sedalia this week. Bishop Smith of the Texas Conferences passed through the city last Sunday and spent a few minutes with Allen's congregation. Mrs. Jda Birch represented Allen Chapel Sunday school at the District Conference and Sunday school convention this week. She reports a pleasant and successful conference. The Junior Endeavor at Allen Chapel has just closed a successful membership campaign. Mr. Randolph Wisdom was Captain of the Reds. Miss Wilma Hampton Captain of the Blues. The Reds won and were given a magnificent banquet by the Blues. The Endeavor has a membership of over two hundred young people. The leading young people of the city attended the meetings every Sunday at 6:45. At Atlanta, Ga., July 8-12 a young peoples congress will be held. Representatives from all over the country will attend. The members of the Endeavor are anxious to send a representative and have made several efforts to raise money. It will mean a great deal to the Endeavor and to all the young people of our city if a representative can be sent to this meeting. It is to be hoped that all who believe in Christian work among the young will come to Allen Chapel Sunday morning and contribute something towards this worty cause. Y.M.C.A. Notes $348.01 is still needed to claim Mr. Rosenwald's check for $25,000.00. On last Sunday Dr. C. B. Miller combined his last two lectures of the subject, "The Twentieth Century Demands of the Ordinary Man," in one, thereby closing the series. This was done because he was called to attend the International Sunday School Convention in Chicago. Next Sunday, June 28th, there will be a song service. Mr. Lawrence C. Jones, of Braxton, Miss., now visiting in Des Moines, Ia. learning of the great Y. M. C. A. building movement in Kansas City, through John L. Thompson, editor of the Iowa Bystander and Grand Master of Masons of town, sent a paid-up pledge to Mr. H. M. Beardsey for the building fund. Mr. Thompson also wrote "that the Christian spirit should be broader than state or denominational lines" and that he intended speaking to his friends, urging that they subscribe to this worthy Kansas City project. Y. W. C. A. NOTES At 9 o'clock a. m the doors of the Yates Branch, Y. W. C. A. swing open for all women, and girls. In the month of June more than 100 women and girls found their way to the rooms of the Association. The public vesper services of the Association will be held at King Solomon Baptist Church, 3rd and State streets. Rev. J. W. Clay, pastor, Sunday, June 28, at 3 p. m. Mrs. J. H. Rled, who with her husband is doing missionary work in Africa will be the speaker. She is to talk on Africa. All men and women are invited to hear her on this occasion. Special music. Prominent among our recent visitors to the Association rooms were Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore; Rev. W. H. Thomas and J. R. Ransom, Ms. Queen Elizabeth Shaw of Austin, Tex.; Miss Loula B.

G. out of the STOCK of the Metropolitan so bonds, notes or mortgages, according ARMOUR THEREFORE DOES NOT Sun asserts without fear of successful tests have been and are now the LARGE in the West—and—the Negro is both ends. Would to God there were more Federation of Clubs. The general secretary appreciates very much the opportunity given to present the Y. W. C. A. work to the women representing various sections of the state, for after all none of the clubs do the work of the Young Women's Christian Association. It is an organization socially fitted to meet the spiritual needs, laying much stress on imparting ideas of Jesus Christ. Teaches Basket Making. Caleb Chapman, a gipse, acts as instructor to a basket making class at Busbridge, near Godalming, England, which has been established to revive a village industry, and is attended by thirty-four men and women. Chapman never takes off his hat while teaching, and sits on a chair without a back. He lives in a tent at Forest Green, and walks thirteen miles to Busbridge every week to attend to his class. An authority on the subject of sleep and its recreative powers makes the following suggestion and claim: "Cut short the long, light sleep of the morning hours and substitute a short sleep at some favorable time during the work-day. Fifteen minutes' sleep after the heaviest work and the main meal of the day will count more for efficiency than five times 15 minutes of sleep in the morning." We are too apt to underrate the moral quality of a man's regular vocation, his daily task, his business to look somewhere apart from this for his opportunity for achieving character and doing good. But there is nothing else that is so determinative of a man's character, nothing else that so furnishes hands for his beneficence and feet to run his errands of good will.—John W. Chadwick. "We don't like the new parson's wife." "This's said with fume and fuss." "For she's as stylish, bet your life, As all the rent of us." From Bad to Worse. "Won't you be very, very happy when your sentence is over?" cheer fully asked a woman of a convict in prison. "I dunno, ma'am, I dunno," gloomily answered the man. "You don't know?" asked the woman, amazed. "Why not?" "I'm in for life." Looking Forward. "Mrs. Twobble's little boy is employed now, in the office of a steel magnate." "His first job, eh?" "Yes. And Mrs. Twobble says that when he gets to be president of the company she expects to spend all her winters in Cuba." Healthogram. Daily Good. A Reason. CAMPBELL COLLEGE JACKSON, MISS.

Morning and evening services were well attended; three additions to the church. Miss Nora Rhodes and Mrs. Chas. Harris, who have been ill, are improving nicely. Miss Willie Lee and Wm. Core were married Wednesday night. As the wedding march was played Mrs. A. T. Moore slowly entered the bride's chamber, closely followed by three young ladies bearing in hand some bouquets of flowers. They were followed by six ladies closely linked by a long pink ribbon which enclosed the bride and her mother, Mrs. F. D. Michel. They proceeded to the east end of the chamber where the bride's mother presented her to the groom. Dr. T. H. Ewing performed the ceremony after which they and their escorts were placed in waiting automobiles and taken to the bride's mother where an elaborate reception was held. A chorus of fifty voices sang popular selections throughout the evening.

The Fifteenth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held at Muskogee, Oklahoma, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 19, 20 and 21, 1914. The Oklahoma State Negro Business League in co-operation with the Muskogee Local Negro Business League has arranged a most comprehensive program for the reception and entertainment of the delegates who may be present. Aside from the regular and most interesting sessions of the League itself, arrangements have been made for an Industrial Parade on Thursday afternoon, August 20th, which shall embrace a large number of floats upon which will be represented the progress and industrial achievement of the Negroes of Oklahoma. Thirty (30) full-blooded Seminole Indians in native and picturesque costumes are planning an entertainment at the Fair Grounds, following the Industrial Parade on Thursday. On Friday afternoon, August 21st, the delegates will be given a view of the city. A live stock and agricultural exhibit, showing the great possibilities of the southwest section, will be open for the inspection of the delegates; also, on Friday evening, a Grand Banquet will be given in honor of the delegates. On Saturday, August 22, a special train will leave Muskogee for Boley, Oklahoma, the largest and most prosperous Negro city in the United States. The train will pass through some of the richest agricultural land in the world much of which is owned by Oklahoma colored citizens. For the annual meeting of the League, the Southwestern Passenger Association has announced through its chairman an intention to authorize an open rate of four cents a mile for the round-trip from all points in the territory of the Southwestern Passenger Association except Oklahoma, selling tickets August 16th to 18th, inclusive with final return limit to reach original starting point August 31. The Western Passenger Association through its chairman also announces an intention to authorize an open rate of two cents a mile in each direction from points in Missouri and Kansas to Muskogee and return, tickets to be sold on August 16th to August 18th, inclusive, with final return limit to reach original starting point prior to midnight of August 31, 1914. Application has also been made to the Southeastern Passenger Association embracing the states south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, and east of the Mississippi river, for reduced rates, and these will most likely be granted on the basis of four cents a mile for the round trip. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad with headquarters in New York City is planning to provide for the transportation of delegates from the eastern territory—New York City, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and Washington, and for all eastern delegates who plan to be present at the meeting. A special Pullman Car will be provided if enough delegates signify their intention of making the trip. Delegates will most likely be present at the coming meeting in larger numbers than ever before from the Southern and Southwestern States. It is expected also that the east will not be neglectful of its duty, considering the fact that the Southern States have always been so largely represented at all of the meetings which have been held in the North and East. The annual session of the affiliated organizations of the League will be held at the same time—The National Negro Bankers' Association, The National Negro Press Association, The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association and the National Negro Bar Association, a group of the strongest organizations in the country among Negro people. Further information as to details, plans for the coming meeting, etc., may be secured from: Booker T. Washington, President, J. C. Napier, Chairman, Executive Committee, or from BONNER SPRINGS, KANSAS. The U. B. F. gave a nice picnic Saturday... Miss Astrula Huff of Topeka is visiting her sister, Mrs. Alma Simms...

To the barber's soothing snip, snip, and the gentle tug of the comb. I dreamed of the barber shops of my boyhood and of Clarke Parker's in particular. Clarkie's shop was in Lyceum Hall block, one night up—a huge room, with a single green-upholstered barber's chair between the windows, where you would sit and watch the town go by below you. The room smelled pungently of bay rum. Barber shops don't smell of bay rum any more. Around two sides were ranged many chairs and an old leather couch. The chair arms were smooth and black with the rubbing of innumerable hands and elbows, and behind them, making a dark line along the wall, were the marks where the heads of the sitters rubbed as they tilted back. Nor can I forget the spittoons—large, shallow boxes, two feet square—four of them full of sand. On a third side of the room stood the basin and watertaps, and beside them a large black walnut cabinet, full of shelves. The shelves were full of mugs, and on every mug was a name, in gilt letters, generally Old English. Those mugs were a town directory of our leading citizens. My father's mug was on the next to the top shelf, third from the end on the right. The sight of it used to thrill me, and at twelve I began surptitiously to feel my chin, to see if there were any hope of my achieving a mug in the not too distant future—From The Atlantic. Hot Day Discipline "Well, you can have the job. But mind you, I want a man that's live, a hustler—one who works just for the pleasure of working." "I see. I'm the man. You'll never catch me watching the clock, sir." "Ah, I'm glad you reminded me. And I don't want to catch you hopping up every half hour or so to take a look at the thermometer." Artistic instinct. "Why did that pretty little artist break her engagement?" "Because she did not like the color combination of the match." "What do you mean by that?" "She did not see how she could make her rosy future harmonize with his purple past." Useful at the Races. "Why did you pick Alpha to win that race? I never thought he would win." "Alpha is the first Letter of the Greek alphabet. I figured that Alpha should naturally lead." "See what it is to have an education!" SMITH LEADS OTHERS FOLLOW Conspicuously before the public's eyes is Theo. Smith, our druggist, who is located on the busy corner of 18th and Tracey. If you belong to that class of men and women who think and do things, don't ever be guilty of saying that you have never visited this up-to-date store. His latest creation is the Tango Sundae on a Blazer, 15 cents. This is a combination of the best fruits and fruit syrups incorporated with ice cream and capped with angel cake, served in gold and silver containers under a bamboo tree among gleaming electric lights and before the breeze of an electric fan. This is irresistible. The following is a list of distinguished guests and popular society people who have visited and declared the Tango Sundae to be the most delicious they have eaten.

WORDS OF APPRECIATION. More Mothers Testify to Merite of XXth Century Hair Preparations. Nelson, Mo., April 13, 1913. Dear Madam Dabney: I am writing you for a small order. I want you to please send by mail 3 bottles of shampoo, 3 boxes of hair grower and 2 boxes of pressing oil. I like the remedy just fine; I would not be without it for anything. I am using it on my little girl's hair; it seems to be helping it greatly. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 20, 1913. Dear Madam Dabney: I am a mother of four girls. In trying to improve their hair I had tried several preparations, but none gave me good results until I used Madam Dabney's XXth Century Preparations. Their hair was thin, harsh and would fall out so that I dreaded to use a comb. Now their hair is growing nicely—does not fall out—has no dandruff—is soft and pretty. Three of these girls are attending Wendell Phillips School, Howard and Vine streets. Investigation will bear out my testimony. I would not be without the XXth Century Preparation in my house. A six week's treatment of Madam P. M. Dabney's XXth Century, Hair Preparations sent on receipt of P. O. money order of $1.25, or a single package of XXth Century Hair Grower, Pressing Oil or Shampoo sent for 50c. Write today to Madam P. M.

Golden Steam Dye Works 1605 EAST 18TH STREET When sending your Clothing to be cleaned and pressed have you ever realized, and every clean minded man would shudder with disgust at the thought, that the cloth use to press your suit had just previously been used to press the suit of a man suffering from Disease, Filthy Habits, etc.—the cloth in the interim being wet and wrung out in a pail of probably dirtier water, especially so toward the end of the day's work? THE SHOPPER'S WORKSHOP OLD WAY OF PRESSING To overcome unsanitary methods we have installed an up-to-date Sanitary Steam Press. A garment that passes through this machine is disinfected, as no germs or microbes can exist under a temperature as high as the dry steam we inject. At the same time it removes any odor, takes away the grimy appearance, raises the nap, revives the colors and imparts to the garment that freshness desired by all dressers. THE HOFFMAN NEW WAY OF PRESSING We are Hatters, Tailors and Cleaners. No delay in getting your work. We do everything in our own shop. When you send us your work we do not have to disappoint or delay you, as our equipment is equal to anyone's. We specialize on quality and carefulness, for if it pleases you it pleases us. We have one of the best Dyeing and Tailor Shops in the city. Everything new and up-to-date. We are prepared to clean any garment, no matter how richly trimmed or flounced, without injury. We employ only expert workmen and guarantee to satisfy every customer. Soliciting an opportunity to serve you, we are yours.

WHERETHER we look upon life as a voyage, a warfare or a journey, we know that the sailor, soldier or traveler is called upon to endure hardship. There are storms on life's sea, battles on life's plains and steep and rugged places in life's pathway. In every conception of life the spirit of heroism is demanded. The great admirals, the great commanders, the great pathfinders in earth's history are not the only heroes, and indeed are not the greatest heroes in life's experience. The great heroes and heroines are not those who subdue and rule over kingdoms, but those who gain dominion over self and adorn their lives with the princely virtues of courage and benevolence. "He that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city." The meed of highest praise is due to those whose valiant souls have triumphed over the infirmity of lifelong invalidism, and through years of bodily pain and anguish have ceased not to minister to the wants of others. First on the roll of honor are the heroes and heroines of the sick bed. A picture rises before me of a room and couch from which for many long years flowed a radiance of loving sympathy and generous service. On that couch lies the frail body incasing the sublime spirit of Miss Jennie Cassaday of Louisville, Ky. In her early girlhood she met with an accident that placed her upon an invalid's bed for the remainder of her life. She organized what is known as the "Flower Mission," and every day for 25 years planned and directed the distribution of flowers to those in prisons and in hospitals. Strength Often in Weakness. Her life was a beautiful expression of the heroism that may be found in the common, everyday life of men and women. We so often forget that there may be strength in weakness, and when we forget it we fail to become heroes or heroes. We look for great opportunities, and for health, strength and vigor, that we may seize them and do great things; but heroism is in doing all the good we can in face of hindrances and limitations. There is nothing heroic in doing easy things. And all the easy things to do are of no great value when done. All the things of real importance are gained by self-denying effort. All may be heroes if they will. It is a question only of devotion and courage in discharging to the utmost limit the obligations of the brotherhood of man. We all recognize and applaud the heroism of those who devote their time and energy to the uplift, to the comfort, to the cheer of their fellowmen. Why should we not ourselves do what we commend so highly in others? When we think of Florence Nightingale in her sublime ministry of love and service to her country's soldiers our hearts glow in appreciation of the gratitude displayed by the English soldier who kissed her shadow as it fell upon his pillow. We may not all have the spirit of consecration in the degree manifested by Jennie Cassaday, Florence Nightingale and thousands of others, both of men and women, who have been such heroes and heroes in the common walks of life, but we may imitate them by exercising the spirit of helpfulness within the range of our limitations and environments. Heroes Little Heard Of. Among the heroes of every-day life are those in the home, in the workshop, in the store, in the profession, who are carrying heavy burdens of sorrow, adversity or misunderstanding, yet who toll on uncomplainingly, doing their work faithfully, patiently and bravely bearing their cross and as far as possible keeping its shadow from falling on others. It is a brave heart that keeps hidden the troubles which disclosure would not help but only add to worries of others. We meet such heroes every day. We do not always, or even often, know them, until years pass and the tragedy of their lives of uncomplaining fortitude is revealed. In such lives human nature is exalted. The grace of God alone could have sustained them. We know that God is good and that their reward will be great. Other heroes of every-day life are those who make munificent gifts of money to the causes of benevolence and charity. On this roll are the names of the George Peabodys, James Lenoxes and Moses H. Grinnell, who have given tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars to furthering good objects. The heroes of benevolence constitute a long and honored roll; but it is not sure that those who have given their thousands or millions stand at the head of the roll. Those who out of pinching poverty give for the help of others are the greater heroes. Those who have not enough to satisfy their own hunger, yet give a portion to others who are hungry; those who have only a day's supply of fuel, yet divide it with others who have no fuel, and those who, like the missionary, give up home and its joys and devote their lives amid dangers and great trials to help others to a higher and better life. These are immortal heroes, yet oft little regarded. Time's Changes. "Before we were married you said yup'd lay down your life for me," she sobbed.

Six years quarters were secured at the North endner residence of the colonial governor, Phipps.

Two years later the asylum at the Nuths property there, and, making a united Boston Farm school, removed to Boston for nearly three-quarters of a century of the Boston Asylum and Farm school, formed the basis of the education. With an isolation that made considerable for carrying out its purpose, life was attracted to the school, and it quite unique work as a private school, for limited means. About ten years ago, more truly to present functions, the name was legislature to the Farm and Trade school. The school is supported by endowment fees and subscriptions. Its very amount to nearly $250,000, but the line this source and tuition leaves a deficit $20,000 a year, which is made up by bons. Tuition fees amount to about year. The annual expenses are about $10. Provision is made for 100 boys, who qualify for admission requires them to be ten and fourteen years of age of good character, in fair physical condition and not lower than the sixth grade in grammar. Recommendations are required from a physician, a clergyman and from three persons of recognized standing in the school. Admissions are made four times a year whose recommendations are satisfied, admitted and, if on trial, a boy is fitted for the school, he is not allowed. After admission the school furnishes needed for the boy—clothing, shelter, a medical attendance and trade opportunities. The school aims to fit the boy for its results, and, upon completing the course to place him either in a higher school position for which he seems adapted.

The Farm and Trades school on Thompson's island, Boston harbor, which recently celebrated its centennial anniversary, was the result. This school has done remarkable work and has set the pace for all institutions of a like nature which have been established in various parts of the country. The first meeting to effect an organization for this school was held on March 21, 1814. Boston was then but a town. In it were boys bereft by death of one or both parents, and outside of the work carried on by the various charitable organizations, no adequate relief was available. In the beginning the management provided principally shelter and food. An asylum was established in the West end. Boys from five to twelve years of age were gathered there, and were sent to the public schools for education.

In a few months the sum of $25,000 was raised in Boston for the school and Thompson's island, containing 157 acres, was bought for $6,000. Two years later the asylum at the North end sold its property there, and, making a union with the Boston Farm school, removed to Thompson's island. For nearly three-quarters of a century the name was the Boston Asylum and Farm school, and agriculture formed the basis of the educational system. With an isolation that made conditions almost ideal for carrying out its purpose, little attention was attracted to the school, and it quietly pursued its unique work as a private school, for worthy boys of limited means. About ten years ago, more truly to describe its present functions, the name was changed by the legislature to the Farm and Trades school. The school is supported by endowments, tuition fees and subscriptions. Its vested funds amount to nearly $250,000, but the income from this source and tuition leaves a deficit of nearly $20,000 a year, which is made up by subscriptions.

The school aims to fit the boy for higher pursuits, and, upon completing the course at school, to place him either in a higher school or in a position for which he seems adapted. As the general farm work necessarily included some instructions in certain trades, and as carpentering and painting and the island location permitted practical instruction in the use and management of boats, the first enrichment of the curriculum occurred in 1857, when a brass band was organized and has been in existence since. It is said to be the oldest boys' band in the country, and is one of the distinctive features of the school. In 1882 the educational system was greatly broadened by the erection and equipment of Gardner hall, which contained a printing office, manual training outfits and woodworking lathes. Here the first sloyd lessons were given, so far as known, in this country. Interest in these several branches was greatly stimulated, and the school course was so changed as to permit almost daily lessons in carpentry and printing, while ordinary school work still continued. Today instruction is given on the following subjects: Preparation of the soil, planting of seed, cultivation, harvesting and rotation of crops, cultivation of fruits and care of orchard, setting out and caring for trees and shrubs, testing and selecting seed, mixing of chemicals for fertilizers, meteorology, vocal and instrumental music, sloyd, mechanical drawing, cabinet work, wood turning, carpentry, blacksmithing, machine work in metal, printing and binding, painting, cobbling, office work, the handling of boats and the whole realm of household duties.

On Sunday there is a general relaxation. In stead of reeille at 5:45 in the morning, the bugle sounds half an hour later, and instead on the peremptory call to rise, a hymn is played during which the boys may lie abed. A session of Sunday school is held between 10 and 11, in which the instructors having Bible classes are assisted by a theological student, who comes every week for the purpose. On Sunday there is also the largest distribution of library books, although they are available every day in the week. A church service is held at 3, conducted usually by a visiting clergyman. The service is un denominational, and representatives of various creeds participate. In the evening at 7:15 comes the chapel service, which is one of the notable events of the week.

The cil for New England, an early English corporation. From this he obtained a patent of land, signed November 16, 1622, including 6,000 acres and one island in New England. In 1626 he moved to Thompson's island with his wife, infant son and servants, and built his log house on the east shore of the island. Its ruins were discovered a few years ago and the site is now marked by a stone inscribed: "Site of David Thompson Cabin. First House in Boston Harbor, 1626." After Thompson's death and the removal of his family the possession of the island became a subject of litigation. It had been included in the Massachusetts bay colony patent of 1627, and in 1634 was granted for the support of a free school to the inhabitants of the town of Dorchester, by which it was rented out as a cow pasture. The island, attractive to its first white owner because of its harbor, has since then been so beautified with groves and rows of trees and orchards that it is probably not excelled in this respect by any island of equal size along the Atlantic coast. For three-quarters of a century the work of development and beautifying has been going on. Spruce and other fir trees, oaks, elms, chestnut, linden, acacia and elm trees abound. The orchard contains apple, pear, cherry, plum and quince trees. More than twenty years ago Mr. Bradley organized the Cottage Row government. This is a student municipality, but probably the most realistic organization of its kind. It includes not only political government, but the ownership of property and all that that implies. Cottage Row consists of a dozen cottages, of various sizes, built by the boys, and each registered with the plot of land in a registry of deeds. There is a city hall, where the city council meets at stated intervals, and where questions of student control are discussed as well as the affairs of the city property. The government consists of a judge, mayor, three share-holding or property-holding aldermen, and two non-shareholding aldermen, a treasurer and an assessor. The mayor appoints a chief of police, a lieutenant, sergeant and four patrolmen, a clerk, librarian, street commissioner and janitor. Each has his specified duties to perform. Thus nearly one-fifth of the boys at the school have a direct interest in the management of the municipal government. Since the school has been on Thompson's island there have been but four superintendents. Charles H. Bradley became superintendent in March, 1888, completing 26 years of service the present month. Under his direction the school has made wonderful progress, and its reputation has spread all over the country. CHARYS H. BRADEY, P.C.A. SUPERINTENDENT tings have to be reckoned.

Bradley became superintendent in 188, completing 26 years of service the month. Under his direction the school wonderful progress, and its reputation and all over the country. local post office was almost concealed by this sudden increase in its business. "The joke is again on the star route contractor," was the comment of the local newspaper on the incident. "I made a contract to carry the malls, not to be a freight train," this injured citizen wrote to the postal department. Great Britain had over one thousand four hundred strikes last year, mainly over wage questions. CARE OF FERNS AND PALMS House Plants Need Much Attention, But Their Beauty Makes It Well Worth While. This is the time when ferns and palms need a little attention. Ferns seldom need repotting, but if the soil has become heavy, close and "sour" it should be removed, new and clean drainage put in the pot and a mixture of fresh loam and silver sand. Cut off the withered leaves, being careful not to injure any new fronds that are coming up. If the repotting has not been neces- ary, turn out the top compost and fill up with the mixture of fresh loam and sand. Palms may be treated in the same way, and the leaves should never be allowed to wither entirely on the stem, or the plant will die. They should be removed before the decay reaches the center stem. If the withered tips are snipped off directly the decay will often be arrested for a considerable time. Palms must never be placed in a draft, nor watered in the ordinary way at the roots. Once a week they should be placed, pot and all, in a pull of tepid water—rain water is best—left to stand for an hour or two, then drained. The leaves should be sponged carefully on both sides with tepid water and a tiny sponge or wad of cotton. Ferns, especially the finer kinds, are often watered too lavishly and frequently, with the result that they rot. They should be kept moist, but-not wet. Water in which cut flowers have been kept is excellent for them, and they like a little cold tea occasionally. They should be washed with a fine watering hose at least every other day and set out in fine rain on a mild day. CRULLER THAT IS PERFECT Proper Mixing of Ingredients and Fat at Right Temperature Will Produce it. Three eggs beaten without separating, nine tablespoonfuls of sugar, five tablespoonfuls of milk, four tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of cinnamon, two cups of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a pinch of salt and one-half a cupful of nuts. Mix eggs with sugar, then add butter, milk, cinnamon and salt. Lastly, well sift flour, to which you have already added the baking powder. Beat until light. Roll out on floured baking board until about one-half an inch thick, cut with circular cutter, cutting another ring in the center. Handle as little as possible. Have deep fat, smoking hot, drop the crullers into it, first trying a small piece of raw potato in the fat. If this turns golden brown at once, the fat is at the proper temperature. Here all of success or failure. The crullers should swell up and turn a beautiful light brown in less than a minute. Remove at once with wire dipper. Roll in powdered sugar and cinnamon. Strawberry Shortcake Prepare the dough as for baking powder biscuit, but use a little more shortening and the yolk of an egg, enough flour to roll very lightly. Spread half the dough upon a baking tin and spread with butter, roll and add the other half. Set in the oven until well raised and thoroughly baked. Separate by running a large knife through where the butter was spread. Then butter plentifully each crust; place the bottom layer on an earthn platter or dinner plate; cover thickly with a quart of strawberries that have been previously prepared with sugar; lay the top crust on the fruit. If there is any juice left pour it around the cake French Fruit Salad. One cupful of sugar, one pound seeded Malaga grapes, half a pineapple cut in cubes, two orange cut in small pieces, and one tumbler sherry wine. If this is used as a dessert it may be served with a boiled custard, which is made by using one pint milk, half a cupful of sugar, three eggs, and half teaspoonful extract of vanilla. Place milk in a double boiler, beat up eggs and sugar and just as the milk is at the point of boiling, add the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Remove from fire and let it cool. Judge Peter's Pudding. Three-quarters of a boxful of gelatine, two oranges, two lemons, six figs nine dates, ten almonds, five English walnuts. Dissolve gelatin in one pint cold water for one hour, add one-half pot boiling hot water, the juice of two lemons and one orange, and two cup fuls of sugar. Let stand until it begins to thicken; cut the fruit, nuts and other orange in small pieces, mix well with the jelly and pour in molds. Serve with whipped cream. Light Rolls One pint of sweet milk warmed sufficiently to melt one tablespoonful of butter, and add one tablespoonful of sugar and a pinch of salt. When the milk is lukewarm stir in one quart of flour and one cake of compressed yeast. Put in a warm place to raise. When light enough work down and raise again, then mold into shape, put into pans and when light rub the top with white o' egg and bake. To Make Egg Soup. Take six slices of stale bread and sprinkle them on both sides with sugar before putting them in the oven to brown. Mix the yolks of three eggs and one ounce of butter with a pint of boiling milk and add to a pint of white stock flavored with salt, pepper, nutmeg and chopped parsley. Pour the whole over the slices of toast and keep it hot for ten minutes before serving. Bean Soup. Take between two and three cupfuls of baked beans and add one can of tomatoes, three or four slices of onion, two bay leaves, six or eight cloves. Let it cook three hours or more slowly. Then strain, add butter (small pieces), salt and pepper to taste, and if too thin thicken a little. A few spoonfuls of chill sauce added improves the flavor. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The heroic efforts being made by the comparatively few colored Washingtonians cannot be ignored, writes Michael Jones in a communication to the Star of that city. In the city of Washington, among many other enterprises owned, operated and controlled by colored people, are 600 grocery stores, large and small; more than twenty drug stores; two dozen first-class tailors, who cater to the finest trade; about forty dyeing and cleaning establishments and dozens of barber shops, undertaking establishments, confectionery shops, etc. Washington colored people own and control one shoe store, one thriving banking institution and several scientifically conducted insurance companies. The continuation of just such steps as have been taken by the few referred to above in business efforts, will do more to solve the "race problem" than all the indignation meetings that can be held between now and the day of judgment. I am thoroughly convinced that if half the energy, pride, ambition, thought and money used in promoting indignation meetings were directed into channels that would lead to the erection of a manufacturing plant, the organization of a corporation or the establishment of some other worthy enterprise, America's most mistreated citizens would be better able to get that for which they strive and should rightly have. The ten millions of Negroes in America buy about 20,000,000 pairs of shoes each year, for which they pay not less than $40,000,000, but they operate scarcely a dozen small retail shoe stores, and there is not in existence one large shoe factory owned, operated and controlled by negroes. Every year colored people in America spend more than $50,000,000 for hats (including Easter season), yet not more than $10,000 of this amount finds its way to colored hat dealers, haberdasherms and millinery shops combined. At $10 per capita America's colored population pays $60,000,000 each year for suits of clothes, but statistics will reveal the fact that the combined business of Negroes in the clothes business does not amount to $250,000 a year. What is true of shoes, hats suits and clothes in this relation is true of everything that colored people wear and use. Is not there something radically wrong? Surely it is timely and good to call the attention of a materially weak race to such existing conditions, that it may be stimulated to build and strengthen such a sadly neglected phase of its racial life. The National Negro Business league of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is president, is rendering an invaluable service to the country in that it is helping the Negro to find himself and succeed as a business man. Hundreds of negro builders, contractors, real estate brokers, managers of insurance companies, bankers, manufacturers, undertakers, druggists, general merchandise dealers, bakers, florists, etc., find their way to the annual meetings of the league. There they go for mutual help, conference and inspiration. They assemble to learn and teach others how to succeed in establishing and maintaining business enterprises. The state free employment bureau in Worcester, Mass., has filled 1,171 positions, representing 90 kinds of employment, in the six months since its establishment. The long-cherished plans of the co-orded people of New York to have a theater of their own are about to be put in operation. The Bijou theater, Broadway and Thirty-ninth street, for years one of the famous playhouses of the city, will be reopened as a theater for colored people. The scheme is under the direction of Jerome Rosenberg, who will be one of the white persons connected with the venture. Rosenberg will inaugurate a colored stock company at the Bijou to play musical comedies, and the opening production will be "The Darktown Follies of 1914." All the employees of the Bijou will be colored persons from the man in the box office to the ushers and the water boys. The orchestra, too, will be made up of colored musicians. The Bijou is being redecorated for the opening, and the price of the best seats will be $1. On certain afternoons the management plans to give performances when white persons will be admitted. Great Britain's foreign trade for 1913 reached an unprecedented total. More than 100,000,000 cubic feet of gas a day has been going to waste in Guthrie, Okla., where at times five wells have been blowing simultaneously. In order to shut off the waste it is necessary to bore through so as to strike the well below the leak and to draw it off. A man in Portland, Ore., has a taste which calls for sour things as an ordinary taste does for sugar. At every meal he eats a quart of sour pickles, making three-fourths of a gallon dally. Chain Ferry Chain Ferry. Among the queer things to be found in England is a chain ferry, which is to be found on the river Tamar, in Devonshire. The Tamar, a tidal river, has a terrifically strong current—so strong that the ferry船 is compelled to ford it on chains. The chains are laid parallel to one another and caught firmly in the banks of the stream. By means of a steam engine and a system of cogwheels that pick up the chains the boat is hauled across. An interesting account of how the courts in many states were enlisted during the year 1913 to aid the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the steady fight to obtain full recognition everywhere for the Negro race is presented in the report of the association's attorney, which is made a part of the fourth annual report of the body, just issued in printed form. The attorney is Chaplain Brinsmade of New York. Included in his work were three cases before the United States Supreme court, namely, an attack on the constitutionality of the "grandfather" clause in Oklahoma, which, in effect, compels Negroes to pass educational tests before being permitted to register and vote; an effort to win an injunction against the enforcement of the "Jim Crow" law, which affects railroad travel by Negroes in southern states, the injunction having been denied in lower courts; another test of the "Jim Crow" law as applicable to interstate travel in sleeping cara. These cases still are pending. The following paragraphs from Mz. Brinsmade's report show the various interests which have been taken by the legal department of the association in behalf of the negro race: "The segregation idea is spreading. Madisonville, Ky., has just passed a segregation ordinance. I am communicating with a committee of colored citizens of Louisville organized to oppose its passage. "The Jim Crow' problem has reached a stage where little can be done except by legislation to prevent segregation. It seems to me that more can be accomplished along this line by appealing to the various public service commissions than by bringing action in the courts. "The recent statute of Florida, making it illegal for white teachers to teach in colored schools, and colored in white schools, is perhaps the worst example of recent anti-negro legislation. I am in communication with several church missionary associations which conduct missions in Florida, and expect to co-operate with them in testing the act, should it be applied to private institutions. --- "Exclusion of colored people from real estate auctions has been a source of complaint during the last year. We are taking proceedings to prevent such discrimination in the future." The attorney reports further concerning cases in which the association interested itself in behalf of negroes who were excluded from certain parts of theaters, compelled to eat at certain tables in restaurants and refused admission to places of amusement. According to the report of the chairman of the board of directors, the association more than doubled its membership during 1913, an increase from 1,100 to 3,000 members and from 11 to 24 branches. The department of publicity and research reports that 72 lectures were delivered to audiences aggregating 41,000 persons by the director of the department. An apple tree belonging to S. W. Alexander of Los Angeles county, California, is exciting considerable interest because it bore two crops in one season, and the second crop was of a different variety than the first. The apples of the first crop were light in color and of medium size, while the second edition were dark reddish in color and in no way resembling the earlier crop. Garrison Square in Kansas City was opened to negroes by the park board recently. It is bounded by Troost and Forest avenues, Fourth and Fifth streets. The field house cost $60,000. In addition are an. athletic field, wading pool and playground. A large crowd of negroes attended the opening. In the field house are 41 shower baths, 22 of which are private, a large auditorium, reading room, rest room and library. The wading pool is in commission, but the athletic field has not been fully equipped yet. The latest report of the director of the bureau of agriculture at Manila says that the rice crop of the last year was the greatest which has been recorded for many years in the Philippines, being 100 per cent greater than in the previous year. As a direct result of the bumper crop there has been a decrease of rice imports of more than 176,000,000 pounds, representing in value more than $2,500,000. Recent statistics credit the United States with about one automobile for each two miles of country road. Native gold miners in Tibet leave nuggets intact or replace them if disturbed, in the belief that they are the parents of spangles and dust, which would disappear were the nuggets removed. In southern France the fig tree is now cultivated almost exclusively for the production of fresh fruit, which has a ready sale in the large center. The drying of figs has been practically abandoned in this region, except for the personal requirements of a small number of growers. Prophet words are profitable. Clear, strong, brave and unequivocal utterance of the highest truth one knows is a clear duty owed to God and the world. Let us have men and women who dare to be indiscreet, if need be, for truth's sake. No need be, for truth's sake. No need of our time is greater than this one for single-eyed souls who seek only to declare the clear counsel of God, heedless of consequences to the existing order of things.—Exchange.

S. MOCK CONGRESS A SUCCESS. Lively Wit Displayed by "Make Be Lieve" Senators. "What about the constitution?" was asked the "gentleman from Georgia," during the course of his speech and bitter denunciation. "Constitution," he replied, "To hell with the constitution." (This was modified, being in church, and we cannot understand such scruple from the fearless one.) "Talk not to me about the constitution." "But this is treason," interrupted "Senator Lodge" from Massachusetts. "Treason!" "Do you call it treason when we seek to protect our wives and daughters from the clutches of black french rapists who lurk in secret places to devour our womanhood?" retorted back "Senator Hoke Smith," the Negrophobist from the great state of Georgia. It was during the session of the United States Mock Congress which was held last Monday evening at the Second Baptist church, Tenth and Charlotte streets, that the above exchange of "confidences" took place. The affair was lively and heated from the beginning, and of a truth there was not a dull moment while the thing lasted. "Hoke Smith," the speaker of the house, assumed the unusual prerogative to leave the "chair" and present a bill before the most dignified body in the world. Needless to say it was designed against the Negro. They say the gentleman's invectives in this direction were unusually poignant and that his bitterness was all that could be asked. He using that masterpiece and classic "Nigger" to good advantage and telling effect, it was thought that the senator was by no means "going back." In his speech he spoke of the "Negro's inability to grasp the white man's civilization and his constant burden upon the fair Anglo Saxon. This outburst of vehemence seemed only to make the gentleman from eorgia an object of ridicule and scorn by "Senator Lodge" (Cecil G. Brown), the gentleman from Massachusetts, who proceeded to speak against the "segregation bill," that had been introduced. The gentleman's style was scalm and digressed and he told in the clearest possible way of the Negro's progress in every direction and proved his worthiness for the best consideration of the American public. "The segregation bill," said he "just presented to this body by the gentleman from Georgia, is nefarious and diabolical in all of its details. It is simply a political measure which means to Jim Crow, *e* ostracise, and humiliate a defenseless and struggling race and by that means placing the stigma of inferiority and incompetence upon them; it is another synonym for disfranchisement and is a direct blow at the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments." The learned gentleman said many other concrete things in favor of the Negro. All present felt grateful that the race had such a strong advocate in congress to watch over their interests. The "question" was put to a vote and was unanimously defeated excepting one vote, this single Negro hater was loyal to Smith. The work started when "Senator Tillman" arose to present a bill on disfranchisement. This pitchfork gentleman was ably characterized by K. D. Price, and the acting was fine. It was thought once that he would out Tillman, the real Tillman, so vitellol did he become. His auditors began to hiss and hoot and the speaks er threatened to clear the galleries. Thus amid many jeers the tenacious orator delivered his famous denunciatory harangue against the "nigger," and before he finished he had the attention of the house and evidently gave Senator Dolliver, who opposed him, something to think about. This latter gentleman was characterized by Mr. Holbert, who won out over Tillman with his eloquent presentation of the Negro's side of the question. "Senator Root" of New York (Reeves), presented a bill on "Civil Rights," in a clear and concise manner. His efforts met with little opposition so well did he "cover" his proposition. What created the fun? What put the house in an uproar? What called forth a generous display of wilt? What stirred up so much contention? Only one thing could do this, but instead of "a woman in the case" it was woman suffragett that did it.

Certainly, this gentleman proved to be "Senator Bailey" of Texas, in real life Dr. Samuel Bacote of national fame as preacher and scholar. He met an able opponent in "Senator Curtis" of Kansas (DeFrantz). It was thought once that the people were to witness a good prize fight, so "heated" did these "suffragetts" and "suffrautals" become. It was allowed that the "militants" of London were put to shame in strenuous. It was whispered that these two senators would probably be prevented from taking their "offices" in the next session so unruly were they to the "chair." Excitement ran high. We do not attempt to define the order of debate. There was none. It was just de-b-a-t-e. Senator Bailey, in attempting to prove a point, said "When God made woman, He made a mistake." Somebody interposed for him, some one else observed that they believed in women having "their rights," and to be consistent "hand them a left now and then." The speaker, after putting all of the available servants at arms to work, wearing out his gavel, and threatening to call out the militia, he finally secured order. A vote was put and what do you think? The anti-suffragists won. Hurrah! The ladies present were asked for a demonstration—they refused to move, thus showing indifference. Is this not really so? "Chief Justice was the worthy title give nth Hon L. A. Knox who gave some real hard facts pertaining to the judiciary and the harrassing of "Senator Bailey," only enhanced the earnest and sincere oratory of the speaker. A good audience in spite of the weather, everybody happy and genial—everything in "perfect disorder" as was intended. It was one of the best affairs that has taken place for some time.
