THE BALL ROOM THE ROAD Powerful Sermon by Doctor Lexington, Ky., on the E "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." Gal. 5:24. In regeneration a contract was made between the individual and God, that if He, for Christ's sake, would par- don him, he would give himself to the services of His Son, and follow Him throughout life. In other words, the crucifixion of the flesh, with its passions and lusts, began regeneration, and the process must continue as long as he lives. Before the regenerating process occurs, the flesh has undisputed ascend- ency. Regeneration takes the ascend- ency from the flesh, and gives it to the spirit. Here the "old man" and the "new man" are brought into collision. The flesh wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. The conflict continues as long as the Christian is in the body. Holiness opposes sin. The renewal of the heart creates a love of holiness, and originates the principle of holiness. In the renovation of the heart, holiness begins its opposition to sin, and there is truly a fight before the latter is subdued by the former. In this conflict it is not only necessary to crucify the flesh with its affections and lusts, but to resist the devil, and to assume a position antagonistic to the world. The Soldier-Christian is the object of Satan's implacable malice. Every nch of his way heavenward is disputed by the enemy of our souls, who assumes various forms, and is sometimes transformed into an angel of light. The world is a foe to the Christian. How fascinating its splendors! How seductive its pleasures! How alluring its honors! How attractive its rises! Well do we sing—"Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God?" No! Lift is no friend, but an enemy. Strenuous effort is requisite to live above the contaminating influences of the world, but this must be done by the Christian. Let us consider, for a moment, one of the most seductive pleasures of the age, which contaminates and ruins Christian character. The Dance. On this anniversary occasion, I know of no subject that could more fittingly be brought before the people, in order to develop a glorious church capable of saving a lost and mined world. Contrast Between the Dance Today and In Bible Times. In Bible times, religious services were attended with dancing. It was a part of religious exercises, but entirely different from those of today. The reason they were different was that the occasion and purposes were different. Then it was to worship and rejoice before God. Now it is to be a means of passing the time and of human enjoyment. Then the men danced by themselves, and the women by themselves. Now they dance together. From all that we can learn in literature and ancient art, friezes and frescoes, these dances were not with any embracing. Those of today are. Those dances were attended with singing, and those who danced played also on harps and instruments of music. Those dances were not attended with the drinking of strong drinks. Most of those or today are. The Dance is Increasingly Lustful. THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES The dance becomes more and more lustful as the years pass. The time was when the quadrilite was popular. It was a sort of a square dance, and was done mostly by marching and changing partners, keeping time of course with the music. This was not lustful enough, so the waltz was introduced. Then came the twostep. After awhile these got to be too tame, and they ushered in the tango, the turkey trot, and others equally shameful. Such dances as these in olden times preceded the days of the decadence of a nation. While the dance, is increasingly lustful, of course this does not apply to all persons. There are no doubt, a few persons who are sincere when they say, that it does not affect them, and that they are just as chaste and pure when they go from the ball room as before. But the Apostle Paul says, "Be not deceived; evil companionships corrupt good morals." I believe what he says in preference to the testimony of the few who say otherwise, because he speaks the oracles of God. The modern dance provides for and permits certain liberties and familiarities which would nowhere else be tolerated by decent people. The young girl goes from her home and under the "law of liberty," places herself in a position with the man with whom she dances which permits familiarities of touch and contact, that "would be regarded as indecent under any other circumstances. Do you not know, my friends, that many a man whose lusts have gone forth seeking to invade a certain woman's sanction of honor, has deliberately planned to reach her through the ball room? For the reason when she has become familiar with him on the ball room, it is not very likely that she will repulse his advances off of the ball room, and he knows that. Think of your sweet, pure, chaste daughter, laying her head upon the shoulders of a man, not her husband, placing her breast against his, and allowing him to encircle her waist with his arm, placing his foot between hers, and clasp her hand in his. The very attitude of the parties suggests impurity. This contact of the sexes is calculated to enkindle the hellish fires that slumber in human nature. These fires no amount of culture can obliterate, and the very costume worn on the ball room, is a belows fanning them into a flame. Now what is the secret of the power of the dance over individuals? It is the closeness of the personal contact of the sexes, which outside of the dance hall, society itself would not tolerate for a moment. The dance is the only society amusement that would not live a month, if the legislature of the state would enact a law prohibiting men and women dancing together. Why, a girl soon tires dancing with her brother, and vice versa. I have testimonies of clergymen, fathers, mothers, and exduring masters themselves, that three-fourths of the fallen women of this country started the downward way as a result of the dance hall. The attitude of the Christian is to crucify the "affections and lusts" of the flesh by starving them to death. He realizes that to feed them means to strengthen them and weaken the power of the Spirit. Therefore, it is the duty of everyone born of God, "to abstain from all appearance of evil." God and the Church Forbid it. I protest solemnly against the dance, and I do it reverently for the same reason that I protest against drunkenness, and gambling, and lying on your neighbors, because God and the church forbid them. Everyone of the largest and most respected religious bodies on the face of the earth have registered in their articles of faith, and in the statement of the church leaders, their solemn protests against the dance, and regard it as an evil. As the anniversary occasion closes and the church resumes her onward march towards the Judgment, let each member, young and old, see to it that his heart and life are brought and kept under the control of the Spirit. If it should please the Lord to call us before another anniversary let Him find us watching and waiting for Him. I urge upon you not to be found any place you would not like to die. If you would like to die on the ball room, in the saloon, or in a house or shame, go on your way; if not, come out from the world, and God will receive you.

A burgh of crabid, disgruntled North-enders who have made what little money they have from Negro patronage are alleged to be using all the means at their command to secure a rerouting of the Vine street cars which go out Independence avenue and serve a territory largely populated by Colored people and urging, instead, the Sunset Hill cars be sent that way, so that they may have an opportunity of rubbing up against the aristocracy of the South Side (whatever good that will do them) instead of being brought in contact with the horny-handed but honest laboring element of both races in this city. These alleged "boosters" have no care for the inconvenience to which they put the Negro patrons of the South and North Side, who being largely a laboring class, must necessarily get to their places of employment early and on time but rather to seek their own self-fish ends by trying to build up their territory on racial prejudice and snobbery. Will the city authorities or the Metropolitan Street Railroad fall for such petty, niggressly conduct as this? Very little consideration is paid to Negro patrons anyhow by the Kansas City Railways system and yet when it was seeking a renewal of its franchise, its most loyal and consistent supporters were among the hard working, honest-thinking Colored people of this city. If you are going to reroute the Vine street cars so that the patrons of the territory it serves cannot get down town for an hour or two then take them off altogether or give its patrons a SQUARE DEAL. MRS. J. R. A. CROSSLAND DEAD. Mrs. J. R. A.

John Wesley Williams was born in Eufaula, Florida, in 1870, died on December 31, 1916, at 10:40 p. m., at the age of 46 years, 10 months and 21 days. In 1892, joined the Church in 1895. He became a worshiper, W. S. Parks and L. G. Parks, both Cross City, Kana, also an aunt, Elizabeth, and a few cousins. To be exact wi his box at 12:06 to be obe to his holdings. At 12:13 men. Your com home through officer hailed that he be that man. Just as the old year was closing out, and sealing up the history it had made during the three hundred and sixty-five days of its existence, the Messenger of Death came into the home of Office John Wesley Williams and summoned him to appear before the close o f the old year in the presence of God his creator. John W. Williams was one of the bravest, most gentlemanly and best liked officers, regardless of color, on the police force of Kansas City. He was a fine specimen of Negro manhood; physically he was more than six feet tall, straight as an arrow, athletic and well proportioned. He was a model citizen before his appointment as a police officer and continued as a model officer. He was for four years before his appointment as a patrolman, a member of the fire department and was as popular there as upon the police force. As an officer, Mr. Williams was a terror to evil doers and a friend to the unfortunate and needy. He was a member of the Christian church at Twenty-fourth and Woodland avenue; also a member of Amos Johnson lodge A. F. & A. M. The Negro race in this city feels that it has suffered an irreparable loss in the death of this brave and lovable officer. It was Officer Williams who captured the Negroes who assaulted a Mrs. Jackson (white) some seven years ago and the following story published in the Afro-American of St. Louis by W. G. Moseley as correspondent bespeaks the sentiment of the better element of Kansas City: "If there is a man of whom the Negroes of Kansas City should feel justly proud, that man is John W Williams, police officer. It was his quick work that landed two ex-convicts with their two companions in a cell in No. 6, police station within less than an hour after a description had come to him over the Gamewell alarm. Last Son of Abolitionist was 68 Years Old—Had Been Ailing—Publisher and Author—Body Cremated at Newton—Active for Eqau Rights. Francis Jackson Garrison, the youngest son of the late William Lloyd Garrison, died Monday at the age of sixty-eight years. Mr. Garrison, who was an author and publisher, was born n Boston on Oct. 29, 1848. His Sir: Please enter my name as a subscriber to The Kansas City Sun for 1917 per your Special Rate Offer and stop my paper on December 31, 1917, unless otherwise notified. I herewith enclose One Dollar to pay the Special Rate for one year. Respectfully, OBITUARY. To be exact when the officer pulled his box at 12:00 o'clock he received notice to be on the lookout for two holdups. At 12:55 he had the right men. Your correspondent was trudging home through the snow when the officer hailed him with the statement that he was headed in the same direction. He said: 'I am stalking four fellows, two of whom answer the description given of a pair who did a piece of work in the earlier part of the night.' Williams here followed them into Brown's restaurant and then into a cornor saloon. The next morning the first thing I read in the Kansas City Star was the account of the capture of four Negroes by Officer Williams and the heinous crime two of them had committed. Reybolds and Williams not satisfied with robbing Mrs. Jackson, of 2312 Park, had dragged her into a nearby lot when each in turn abused her according to their own statement made to Officer Williams in a most brutal manner. But the story is old. The criminals have been tried convicted and are now waiting to have the death penalty pronounced upon them which Judge Latshew will do Saturday morning." The Press Was Mild. The newspapers of Kansas City told the story with the absence of exciting and inflammatory head lines. In fact it was only since the trial began. And in this matter the public press has the everlasting appreciation of the Negroes of this Community for treating the matter in a manner that did not cause every self-respecting Negro to feel as mean and miserable as the culprit must feel himself. The funeral was held from the Christian Church of which he was a member at 2:00 o'clock Thursday afternoon were conducted by Amos JJ Johnson lodge Geo. Thomas Worshipful Master and interment was in Oak Grove Cemetery Kansas City, Kansas, in the family burying ground. A large escort of Police Officers and Firemen led by the Knights Templars Band also attended the funeral. Peace to his ashes; Rest to his soul. mother was Helen E. (Benson) Garrison. He was graduated from the Boston Latin School in 1865 and afterward entered the publishing business and in his career he had been connected with the Riverside Press and its allied publishing house, Houghton, Mifflin Company. As a writer, Mr. Garrison was the author of "Ann Phillips, Wife of Wendell Phillips," and he was joint author of "William Lloyd Garrison: His Life Told by His Children."

If you are wise you'll take advantage of this offer which will positively end the 31st of January. The fair treatment and consideration shown toward colored patrons by the new management of the Shubert should meet with the appreciation and encouragement of the theater-going members of our race. In the European war the "proud Anglo-Saxon race" is illustrating the principles of religious culture upon a broad scale. In the fifty lynchings which took place in this country during 1917 the same principles were illustrated at closer range. One of the "white folks" ways which is becoming very popular among local colored folks is that of committing murder and suicide over love affairs. It is bad enough to have acquired the habit of fainting without carrying the well known imitative disposition any further. If you patronize any of the merchants who advertise with The Sun tell them about it. It will help us and will help you, too. If you would do something at the beginning of the year to inspire a little more race vitality, just persuade your neighbor to subscribe for The Sun. Charles R. Heath, who made frequent trips to Kansas City in 1915 and the early part of 1916 posing as a gentleman of wealth and the prestage of being a confidential agent of the U. S. Steel Corporation, one of the board of directors on a salary of $250 per month, was sentenced last week by the Chicago courts to a year and a day in the U. S. penitentiary at Leavenworth for using the mails with intention to defraud by offering shares of stock for sale which had no existence. He will be remembered by many prominent prisons of this city as one of the smoothest talkers and most innocent of guile or trickery that had graced our community for many a day. He drank not, smoked not, and gave the gambling house a wide berth, yet it seems he had his compensations. The post office in inspectors had been looking for him for nearly a year, until he was turned up at Atchison, Kansas, where he had been in hiding since March last. It turns out that Heath had served a term in Jollet on fraud charges, and that he spent the month of February last in jail at Chicago for beating a room-mate out of more than $2000.00. He was the most consummate rascal that Kansas City has ever treated so hospitably and has been in turn repaid so brutally. Heath lacked the conscience of a foot pad. While the Kansas City teachers are better paid their hours of service are longer. The maximum wages in Indianapolis is $97.50 as against $100.00 in this city. MASONIC BUILDING ASSOCIATION W. G.

Hurry. —That the police investigation that's coming is going to unmask some mighty nasty things. Well, "lay on McDuff." —That the Ivanhoe Ball is still the talk of Society throughout the West.

Well, it was fine. J. A. Wilson, the jeweler, says that it is his brizen policy not to ignore the small favors of his patrons; he even appreciates the "crumbs which fall from the table" and that he would be pleased to secure the contract to just merely clean and polish the $25,000 worth of diamonds owned by the fashionable society people of his race when they are needed for the next brilliant, dazzling and charming society demonstration. During the year of 1916, sixteen boys in the thrift club, known Association Savings Bank, accumulated $67.53. They elect their own directorate. Eudell Johnson, a high school graduate is president. The first test in the Bible School THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1917 Duncan Hotel Property Bought For Use of Colored Y.M.C.A. Seventy Thousand Dollars Is Price Paid for Historic Hostelry—Will Be Turned Over to New Owners on January 1—One of the City's Greatest Necessities Filled by the Deal!. THE SHOPPING CENTER This property will be used as a Y. M. C. A. building for the negroes of Nashville. When properly equipped for the purpose it will compare favorably with the buildings erected in several other cities for the colored from $150,000 to $200,000. The Duncan hotel has been purchased by the board of directors of the Nashville Young Men's Christian association for the colored men's branch, Y. M. C. A. The price for the building was $70,000. Thus what has long been considered one of Nashville's greatest needs—a modern, physical building for the operation, physical and social salvation of the young negro men and boys of the city—will be realized. The Duncan is to be turned over to its new owners on January 1. In securing this property for the negroes, Nashville has taken her place along with other cities throughout the country, as a widespread interest in the welfare of colored men and boys has resulted in providing for Young Men's Christian association buildings in many cities. Some of these are Atlanta, Baltimore, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and New York. The Theater has been considered one of the building for the colored men and boys of the Duncan hotel property in order to meet the requirements of the Y. M. C. A. service. The board of directors of the Nashville association will have direct supervision over the colored men's branch, which will be operated on such a business basis as will insure the minimum of expense with the maximum of revenue consistent with its service and mission. Receipts from membership fees, room rents, etc., must be supplemented by a modest annual subscription budget. It is planned to ask the citizens of Nashville during the month of February to provide the money which will be necessary to proved plan of the modern Y. M. C. A. These rooms will (a) supplement the present school dormitories which are inadequate and entirely unsatisfactory; (b) provide a place for colored boys and young men coming to the city with safe, moral conditions; (c) furnish accommodation for transient negro young men such as are now absolutely lacking. 2. Health. The fact of physical deterioration of the negro amid urban conditions is coming to be pretty generally known. Recent developments in Nashville prove beyond question the closeness of the relation between the physical condition of our negroes and the health of our white population. A Y. M. C. A. gymnasium with baths, gymnasium and a program of physical development and sex education will make large contributions to this problem. 3. Education. Evening educational classes are effective for present school and present day students. The need for supplemental and in The local colored branch has done its work for the past five years under the supervision of the Nashville Y. M. C. A. and the board of directors of the Nashville association has been fully advised at all times as to the progress of the work by the Nashville colored men. In none of the cities named is there a better spirit manifested on the part of its colored people than in this city, and as an indication of the seriousness and earnestness of the local colored leaders in the establishment of a modern building of this kind for their race it will be recalled that when the Nashville colored people held their campaign some months ago to help provide such a building, three of the local colored men gave each $1,000 in cash and another $500. This record has not been equaled in any of the many cities in which campaigns have been conducted for the colored men. It is said, and is generally recognized throughout the country, that Nashville negroes are progressive, intelligent, and because of the great advantages along edu- ARCH TRAWICK. Chairman Colored Y. M. C. A. committee of board of directors of Nashville Y. M. C. A. was given by Prof. Lee to his class just before the holidays. Several received the perfect grade of 100. A few more Bible students can be accommodated in the Wednesday evening classes, 7 to 7.30 P. M. The spiritual fervor of the Song-Praise Service on last Sunday, betokens a winter season of great religious results. On next Sunday, January 7th, 3.30 P. M., the men are to hear one of the strongest evangelists and platform lecturers of the race in the person of Dr. Lewis C. Scheafe of Los Angeles, Calif. He is eloquent, logical and forceful. He will discuss the subject: "The Perils of Success." A large audience is expected to greet Dr. Scheafe. A real big time was enjoyed by the boys at the Annual-Get-Together meeting of the members, and he reunion of the boys of the summer camp, Inspiration. The corn-bread and beans gave a realistic touch to the occasion. Rev. J. D. Smith, the owner of the camp farm impressed upon the boys the temptations to be avoided to make a success of life. Mr. L. C. Stewart, who camped with the boys last summer showed the boys the advantages open to those of thrift and industry in the business world. The camp cook, Jas. Anderson stirred the boys to great enthusiasm through his camp songs. cational lines here are considered the equal, if not a higher, type of citizenry than in perhaps any other city of its size. They may be counted on to do their full duty towards helping themselves, and the colored people propose to raise sufficient money among themselves to make possible the remodeling of the Duncan hotel property in order to meet the requirements of the Y. M. C. A. service. The number of members of the Nashville association will have direct supervision over the colored men's branch, which will be operated on such a business basis as will insure the minimum of expense with the maximum of revenue consistent with its service and mission. Receipts from membership fees, room rents, etc., must be supplemented by a modest annual subscription budget. It is planned to ask the citizens of Nashville during the month of February to provide the money which will be necessary to pay for the Duncan property, and with the additional sum which the colored people themselves will contribute, it is hoped to clean up the additional gift of £25,000 which Julius Rosenwald, a Hebrew philanthropist of Chicago, has offered to give to Nashville. Nashville Negroes Are Asset to City. That the negroes are an asset to Nashville is generally admitted by those who have kept up with the progress of that race. An evidence of that fact is shown when it is realized that: 1. Nashville is the center of educational and religious influence among the negroes of the south. 2. Negroing negro institutions of learning are located in Nashville. These schools have a teaching force of 182. They enroll nearly 2,000 students each year. 3. Nashville is the right while college in the world is in Nashville. The largest arts college for negroes in the world is in Nashville. 4. Two negro publishing houses in Nashville own property valued at $200,000. 5. Two negro skilled workmen. They send literate to 2,000,000 people in all parts of the world. These are but small arguments that demonstrate the negroes in their efforts to make better and more useful citizens in the community. On the other hand, they are clearly stated in their efforts to make negroes are also a liability, as indicated below: 1. The death rate among negroes in Nashville is 14.32 per day. The white death rate is 14.32. 2. During the first three months of 166 there were 1,539 male arrests among the negroes in Nashville, nearly 17 per day. 3. There is not a public place in Nashville where negroes can secure a bath, a bed or a wholesome meal with desirable surroundings. 4. There are 35,000 negroes in Nashville. The negro boy and young man face temptations more fierce with safeguards much fewer than those of the white young man. 5. These conditions vitally affect the white, as well as the colored, race, and must not be permitted to continue. In providing this building for the colored men and boys it is proposed to contribute, besides the solution of the problem of boredom, the learning of religious and religious training of the members of that race. The program of service is here indicated: *Housing.

At the extreme end of the hall stood a large Kewpie mounted on a pedestal with two large palms on each side and also at the east end of the hall were three electric lights bearing the Klub's colors red, green and yellow which were kept thrown on the guests throughout the entire evening and which made the hall look loke a beautiful garden, this being one of the Kewpie's novelties.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 7 JESUS THE LIGHT AND LIFE OF MEN. The studies for the first six months of this year are devoted to the gospel of John; the remaining portion of the year to II Kings, Era and Nehemiah, being a study with the prophets. One year from now we begin the new "graded uniform lessons" recently adopted by the reorganized International Lesson committee. John was younger than his brother, James, and lived to be the oldest of the apostles, dying somewhere between A. D. 95 and 98. His name means "Peace," though he is surnamed the "son of thunder" (Mark 3:17). Five of the New Testament books bear his name. He blended the gentleness of a dove with the force and vision of an eagle." The purpose of his gospel is clearly stated (ch. 20:31). Only about 8 per cent of it is found in the other three gospels. Seventy-six times the word "witness" is used. The word "father" occurs 140 times and the name "Jesus" 240 times. I. The Word (vv. 1-5). Words utter thoughts; a word is an expression of an inaudible and invisible thing. As the Word, Christ is Creator (ch. 14:9; 8:10); he is the source of light. "The word is God heard; the life is God felt, and the light is God seen"—Moody. This eternally existing person is called the Word because in him God fully expresses or reverses himself. The Bible is the written word because in it God speaks and reveals himself through this person who is the eternal Word (Heb. 1:3). The first verse brings out the fact that there are at least two persons in the Godhead, the one divine person in company with whom the word was, and the word, himself, was; God; that is, was also a divine person. He who by his incarnation became, our brother and our savior was first ducer and the creator of all things, and apart from him not anything came into existence. The Word did not become the light of men by his incarnation in Jesus of Nazareth. He was ever the Light of Men. The light that shone in the Old Testament time shone from him. When sin came, night came. Conditions of the world since the fall have been that of dense spiritual and intellectual darkness, but in the midst of this universal darkness there has always been a light. Our Savior must first of all be divine, having all knowledge and power. He must have also life, which can create and maintain existence. He must also be light, for dear minds cannot know nor dead souls use. 11. The Witness (vv. 6-10). John the Baptizer came for a witness. He was not the light. Some might have thought him to be the promised Messiah. This he denied. He was a lamp which held forth light to men concerning the true light "which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." He reflected light (v. 8). John told all that he knew. Testimony will expand as experience enlarges. The spoken word of man must confirm the experience of the word in our lives. John was a wonderful man, a man whom God delighted to honor, but he was a man. Men are not asked to believe blindly, but always upon an abundance of testimony. III. The World (vv. 11-14). This world was created by Jesus, and throughout its existence he has been in the world, though the world knew him not. This living light had been coming into the world, and was not fully come until he was manifest to Israel at the baptismal act of John. In order to be made manifest the "Word was made flesh" in the person of Jesus. The world did not apprehend the light (v. 5) nor did the world which he was in and which was made by him (v. 10). Even his own people, literally his own household servants, i.e. Israel, received him not to themselves, but the viles sinner of earth, and takes him into his heart to be all Jesus desired to be, savior, lord, teacher, friend, that instant he becomes a child of God. We cannot attempt to explain this mystery. The union of spirit and body was in one person, a sample fact; though unexplained, still true. The union of God with a human body, forming one person, Christ Jesus, sometimes spoken of separately, sometimes as a whole, sometimes as divine, sometimes as human. We cannot divide his activities into two sections and say this is divine and this is human; they are inexplicably blended into one. This Christ really dwelt unong us. He did not merely appear to some persons, or come in a vision, and yet his abode among us was only temporary, only a few years, and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten Son. The world expected a Messiah and his own creation, his own inheritance received him not, rejected him, opposed him, crucified him, their lord, savior, king and messiah. Those who received him and believed on his name became sons. To be a child of God we must be born into the nature and character of God, into his spiritual life. We are members of his family. We are under a peculiar, loving care, dwelling under the shadow of his almighty wing. We have a share in his beautiful home. We are heirs of all thing? through him, his joy, his love, his character and his blessing and the privileges of working for him and with him. We become heirs by being Lorn of God, not of blood, physical descent nor inheritance, for the best of parents cannot bestow this gift upon their children. Not by our own efforts or exertions now the will of the flesh, not by the will of men, through wisdom and man's highest powers of intellect, but of God. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- Francis Jackson Garrison, youngest son of William Lloyd Garrison, abolitionist, died at his home in Newtonville, Mass., some days ago. He had been in failing health for some months. Mr. Garrison is survived by his only son, Wendell Holmes Garrison, who lived with him, and by his sister, Mrs. Henry Villard of New York. Named after Francis Jackson, the famous English abolitionist, Mr. Garrison took a keen and active interest from boyhood in the suspenduous efforts his father was then making in behalf of freeing the Negroes. This close association with his father's busy life and work was Mr. Garrison's greatest pleasure in later life, and he continued his interest in the welfare of the race, being one of the most influential members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. One of the few surviving men who had a wide acquaintance among the men associated with the abolition movement, Mr. Garrison was at the time of his death one of the greatest authorities on the subject. Besides making for himself one of the most important collections of antislavery literature and of the records and papers of his father, Mr. Garrison gave generously of this material to aid libraries to round out their literature on the subject. He collaborated with his brother, Wendell Phillips Garrison, in writing the biography of the abolitionist. "William Lloyd Garrison; the Story of His Life Told by His Children." Born in Boston October 20, 1845, he was educated at the famous Boston Latin school, graduating in 1805. While still a schoolboy he aided his father in the publication of the Liberator, the powerful organ of the abolitionist movement, and was present on the historic evening at the end of 1805, when the elder Garrison, having written his valedictory, set in type the final paragraph with his own hands, and stood by as the forms for the last number of the Liberator were closed. Having completed his schooling, Mr. Garrison went abroad with his sister, Mrs. Henry Villard, and Mr. Villard. They were joined by the elder Garrison in Paris in May, 1867. The young man visited the International exposition with his father and accompanied him on his triumphal visit in France and then to England the following month, when eminent men and women of the two countries accclaimed the American who had done so much to win emancipation for Negro slaves. Returning with his father after an eventful summer spent in both France and England, Mr. Garrison arrived in Boston again on November 6 of the same year. Ten years later he accompanied his father upon another trip to England, this time in the interests of the health of the elder man. Although his friends in England had been advised that William Lloyd Garrison was not strong enough to attend receptiones and other functions in his honor, they could not resist the opportunity to invite their friends to meet the abolitionist, to get him to talk about his early trials and later successes in the abolitionist movement, and to draw out his opinions on various moral and social questions. At all gatherings the son was an attentive listener and was continually surprised at the vigor and freshness with which his father recounted his early experiences. The trip started in May, 1877, and the two men returned to New York by the end of the following August. Many Negroes of this city have turned their hand to writing. Prof. Richard T.

Americans Of all things which Americans deest quiet comes first. Take as a proof this matter of pianos and talking machines, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Every workday there now comes from American factories an even 1,000 pianos and about 1,800 talking machines. You will notice that the piano has not been entirely silenced by mechanical music.

JANUARY 6. 1917 Having already made his connections with the publishing house of Houghton, Mifflin company, the younger Mr. Garrison returned to Boston to resume his duties. He married Mary Pratt in 1870, and she died three years later. In 1801 he married Theresa Holmes, who died in 1915. According to the census of 1910 there were in this country 218,072 Negro farmers owning their own homes. At that time 672,964 Negroes were tenants on the farms of others. The Negro is essentially an out-of-doors worker. He thrives best in God's fresh air and sunshine. Coop him up in the house and pulmonary disease attacks him quickly. As for the southern Negro, this is the lesson that should be learned before he allows the seductive offers of the northern labor seeker to pull him away from the climate and the work for which he is suited. The offer of better wages has already drawn more than 125,000 Negroes from the South. Despite the cold weather that approaches, the migration to the North continues. It is estimated that in six months more the number will reach a quarter of a million. Most of these Negroes are from the rural districts. They have never done a day's work in the house in their lives. They have only a limited idea of the labor they will be expected to do in their new home. From the contemplation of these Negroes who are going to the rigors of the North, it is interesting to turn to the case of the Harris county Negro whose story was contained in the news columns of the Post of Sunday. Working with his seven sons and 27 yoke of oxen for the lumber mills, this Negro managed to become the owner of 500 acres of Texas land. Among the products marketed this year are 19 bales of cotton, 1,000 bushels of sweet potatoes and 80 head of hogs. He and his family are well and they are content to stay in Texas. There will be no tempting them to leave the delightful climate of south Texas to spend a single winter in the zero temperatures of Illinois or New York. Any other Negro who will work and attend to business may do as well in the South as this Negro has done. There is no limitation on opportunity in this country. There is a premium upon application, upon hard work, upon the ability to save, and upon common sense properly applied. The southern Negro who will work on the farm may do well. He will have the respect and the friendship of the white men of his community. He will have their help and their encouragement, and he can be happy in the land of southern sunshine. — Houston (Tex.)

TO CHEAPEN LIVING COST Advice About the Best Kinds of Foods That Should Be Selected and Prepared. A bulletin published by the New York department of health suggests a number of changes in diet by which money can be saved without sacrificing nutriment. "Cereals, such as cornmeal, hominy, and especially oatmeal," the bulletin says, "are rich in nourishment, and are much cheaper than patented cereals. "American cheese, dried beans, and peas are comparatively cheap, and contain a great deal of protein, which is the most important food element found in meat. "Oleomargarine is a very satisfactory and economical substitute for butter. Unfortunately, its use in public institutions is prohibited by law. "Rice is very cheap food and can be served in many different styles. It should be used more frequently than it is in the diet of those of moderate means. It contains a very high percentage of carbohydrates, one of the very necessary forms of nourishment. Everyone knows how extensively it is used among the peoples of Asia, where it has served as the chief article of diet from time immemorial. "It should not be necessary to state that bread, preferably of whole wheat, a form which is rich in very important food elements called 'vitamines,' also sugar and potatoes, should occupy prominent places in the dietary of the working man and woman. "There are many other cheap foodstuffs, a notable one being macaroni and cheese. When these are used judiciously, they serve to lessen the cost of the dietary without in any way impairing its food value. ONCE A DAY OFTEN ENOUGH Assertion Made That Women Need Not Put In So Much Time Washing Dishes. "The careful housekeeper will always resent the suggestion that once a day is often enough to wash dishes," writes Dr. H. Barnard in "Table Talk" in the National Food Magazine, "She cannot train herself to allow soiled plates and silverware to stack up from one meal to the next, for she has been taught that such actions are evidence of shiftless, slovenly housekeeping. As a matter of fact, along with many other notions which are fixed in the operation of the home, both time and energy are saved by cutting out two of the three daily dish-washing jobs." Doctor Barnard goes on to recite the experience of one housekeeper who actually dared study the homely work of dishwashing. One week she washed dishes three times a day; the next week she washed each day's dishes altogether. She used the same number of dishes each day in both weeks. She found that it took her 51 minutes a day to wash after each meal and 41 minutes a day to wash them once a day. This took account only of time, but there was a considerable additional saving in gas or fuel consumed by heating water once instead of thrice a day, to say nothing of the saving in soap. Fig Gems. Hent one cupful sweet milk, add one cupful sugar, one half teaspoon salt, one teaspoon butter. This is set aside to cool. In your mixing bowl put one and one-half cupfuls graham flour, one cupful white flour, two teaspoonfuls baking powder. Add one egg well beaten to this and then gradually add your other ingredients, which must be cold. Now, after all is well blended, add one cupful chopped figs which have been well floured. Grease gem pans and bake a golden brown. Creamed Corn. Chop finely one cupful of canned corn, and half a cupful of heavy cream, the unbeaten whites of three eggs, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one-eighth of a teaspoonful of white pepper and bent well with a silver fork. Butter a baking dish, sprinkle with finely-chopped parsley, pour in the corn mixture, stand the dough in a pan of hot water and bake about twenty-five minutes. Serve with tomato sauce. Steamed Brown Bread. One cupful moiases, two cupfuls sour milk, one-half teaspoon salt, one teaspoonful soda, three cupfuls cornmeal, one cupful either white or graham flour. Steam in covered dish three hours. The kind of flour can be varied to suit taste. Equal parts of graham and cornmeal can be used. This is very good sliced and reheated in the steamer, making an excellent breakfast dish—New York Evening Sun. Refreshing Drink. A most refreshing and nourishing drink is made from half a glass of sour cream, half a glass of rich milk and a pinch of salt. Beat together with an egg beater until light and smooth. Pour into a tall glass, over the top put a thin coating of pulverized nut meats, and over this a scant grating of nutmeg. Served cold with a couple of crackers, this makes an appetizing light luncheon. Prune Almond. Boll together one cupful of granulated sugar and one-third cupful of boiling water without stirring until it forms a soft ball in cold water. Pour it over the stiffly beaten white of an egg and beat until creamy. Add one-half cupful of 'stoned stewed prunes and one-third cupful of blanched chopped almonds.

In Woman's Realm What Is Known as the Dressmakers' Dress Has Won Immediate Favor by Its Originality and Beauty—Smart Peplum Blouse of Satin Has Hat Bordered With a Fringe of Ostrich. The "dressmakers' dress," which is heralded as the incoming mode, cannot fail to win over admirers when it is presented in models as chic as that pictured. Nothing less than genius ever succeeded in making a one-piece dress of such originality and beauty, that is equal to doing the duty of a suit. Note that there is a double skirt, with the overskirt full and that the bodice opens over an embroidered vest. The vest and overskirt provide as much warmth as the coat in a coat suit. In the picture, the underskirt seems narrower than it really is. This effect is more a matter of straighter lines 1 I HERALDING THE INCOMING MODE. than scant material. It is full enough for comfortable walking. The overskirt is laid in four plaits at each side of the front and in box plaits across the back. It is bordered at the front with six narrow folds of silk, and they give it a very slight flare at the bottom. The bodice is an affair for an expert dressmaker to describe, and the uninitiated fashion reporter can only marvel at it. It is draped away from the vest at the waistline and ornamented with folds of silk that extend themselves to the skirt. A tab of embroidery lends a line of bright color to the sedate tones of the cloth and silk folds and repeats the design (of which there is a glimpse) that covers the vest. The bodice appears to be in one piece, with the skirt at the back. Full straight sleeves are shirred in at the wrists and bordered with fur, and a soft muffler collar of fur protects the throat. Any of the soft wool fabrics might be used in a dress of this kind, and it is more than likely that we shall see it made in satin.

Here is a new peplum blouse of satin with a smart hat of the same material to keep it company. The peplum really deserves its name, with its skirt reaching almost to the thigh. It fastens at one side, along the shoulder and under the arm, and like other new garments its first impression makes one wonder how the lady got into it. The wide velvet-hued collar is a remnant of winter fashions and the short sleeves are harbingers of a new order of things in sleeves for the coming spring. Both of them are finished with small satin-covered buttons. Soutache braid, which has already had a great vogue, decorates the lower part of the blouse and the peplum with a simple scroll pattern. The braid is sewed along one edge in the manner introduced by Paris milliners in the present season. It does not lie flat to the garment and it makes an altogether satisfactory decoration for tailored hats as well as other things. The short sleeves promise long gloves or some other covering for the forearms. The hat is bordered with a fringe of ostrich and is untrimmed. It might be embellished with a pattern in soutache braid with very good effect. Bags in Bright Colors.

HAVE BEST BREAD THAT MADE AT HOME SUPERIOR TO BAKERS'. When Yeast Is in Good Condition It Is Not a Matter of Difficulty to Turn Out a Solendid Article (Bulletin of University of Missouri.) Homemade bread, if well made, is to be preferred over bakers' bread, according to Miss Addie D. Root of the Missouri College of Agriculture. The condition of the yeast used in bread-making is more important than the kind of yeast. If yeast is allowed to stand in a dusty place or is put into an unsterilized vessel, it will collect bacteria and the bread will have a sour, unpleasant taste. All utensils and liquids should be scaled before using. Yeasts are small plants which need air. Flour, therefore, should be added slowly and beaten into the liquid thoroughly to incorporate air. Sugar is food for the yeast plant and if given to it will hasten its growth. If dough is too stiff, a harsh, crumbly bread results. The least amount of flour possible to avoid a sticky dough, gives the best bread. The quick even stroke in kneading counts for more than the strength put into it. A thorough kneading distributes the yeast plants evenly throughout the dough and results in bread of the best texture as the gas bubbles rise evenly. Dough should be kneaded until it has a smooth velvety surface. If kneaded longer than 30 minutes, the elastic quality is completely destroyed. Yeast plants thrive at a temperature of from 79 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. When dough is set to rise, it should be placed in a clean bowl. If the bowl is covered tightly and an even temperature maintained, it is not necessary either to oil or molten the surface to prevent a crust from forming. If the temperature is too high, the bread will be dark, coarse and sour. If the dough is chilled while rising, the volume will be smaller, the texture rubbery, and an undesirable crust will form. Best results are obtained when dough is kept at a gentle, warm, even temperature until it is twice its bulk, and then worked. Baking requires as much care as mixing, kneading and rising. The temperature of the oven should be 380 degrees Fahrenheit when the bread is placed in it. It should be allowed to rise after fifteen minutes and lowered after thirty minutes. The bread should begin to brown in patches during the first fifteen minutes and should have an even, brown surface after thirty minutes. If the dough is not twice its original bulk or as light as desired, it may be allowed to finish rising in the oven. Fancy Cream Custese Service Fancy Cream Cheese Service. Cream cheese nowadays is being seasoned in all sorts of ways after being softened a little with cream and butter. Pimentos are dipped, stuffed with a rather highly seasoned cheese, so prepared and chilled, then cut in slices to serve as a highlynamental garnish for a salad, increasing its food value. A pretty thing for the finish to a simple luncheon e for a substantial monthful for an afternoon tea is the following: Spit it into crackers and toast them. Soft cheese in cheese with cream or even white, put through a pastry tube onto half of the cracker, completely filling it with a rosette. You may spike a bit of paprika in the middle, a tiny bit of pimento. Riced Oyster ssp. Drain four dozen oysters in a colander; pour the juice into a soup kettle; add one-fourth teaspoon of black pepper; let come to a boiler skim when near boiling point. In a steep boil boil one quart of milk. When the milk begins to boil pour it in the oyster juice; drop into the aspiration tablespoonful of butter; which two tablespoonfuls of boiled cheese have been rubbed. Stir the soup constantly to prevent burning. As soon it comes to a boil the second tile ewow in the oysters and let scald the edges curl and separate.

Four years ago the people of the city, realizing his exceptional talent, raised money to enable him to study under the best masters of America. NO CHANCE FOR COLORED HEAVIES TO FIGHT FOR TITLE ONE NEGRO CHAMP HURT WHOLE RACE, (BY OTTO FLOTO.) Several items have been sent to this office recently apparently by some of the "colored brethren" who are issuing challenges to Jess Wilylard. Their effect, so far as Willard is concerned, must be likened to the baying of the dog at the moon and the result achieved is about the same as the canine's showing at the famous satellite has always been. On that sunny April afternoon at Oriental race track near Havans when Willard slew the black champion he announced within earshot of all present. "Now that I have given the championship back to the white race I will never meet a black man again." Fear of defeat at the hands of a black man was not the motive which caused the utterance—the person actions of the former tide-holder was the real reason for the announcement. Fear there might be a repetition of such actions should the black man again rule is what has determined the white champions to make impossible reenaction of the same and by not giving to the black man the opportunity tooreain the title the safeguards are sufficient to warrant that no recurrence of Jack Johnson's famous escapades will happen in the future. Thus does an entire race suffer and pay the penalty for one man's transgression. However, true this may all be it has ever been the immutable law of the world as we leap from epoch to epoch. There probably are and we know there have been colored fighters who were a credit to the game; in some degrees were preferable to many white boys who have followed the sport. When I make this statement I have Joe Gans and George Dixon in view. No better behaved or no more ALL WORK CLEANED No DRAYS PAINLESS EXPANSION BY VITALIZED AIR CALDWELL HAIR ORCHARD DO YOUR A J. P.

Yet along came Jack Johnson and wiped out all good impressions this pair left. That the white men are steadfast in their determination not to meet colored men for the title is best illustrated by their action in New York. It will be remembered the colored men refused to enlist for the Mexican border unless the ban that blacks could not meet whites in New York rings was banished. Governor Whiman caused the boxing commission to adopt a rule permitting "mixed bouts." But the fighters themselves refused to abide by the ruling and as long as they refused to meet colored men the rule might as well be in the waste basket as on the books. We know from personal conversations we have had with Willard that under no circumstances will he meet a colored man. The colored fighters themselves are aware of this resolution on the part of the champion and that's why they challenge knowing full well their defi will never be accepted. They, however, gain publicity through the stunt and that's the target aimed at if the truth were known. —K. C. Post. No, it's not that Otto, it's because Willard knows and you know that the day he faces Sam Langford his title is gone. The Negroes of the West alone will wager a purse of $5,000 that Sam can lick Jess any day in the year, the sooner the better. Of course the white race can retain the title by not fighting, but that's the only way.

I find according to the records kept by Monroe N. Work, Head of the Division of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, that in 1916 there have been 54 lynchings. Of those lynched, 50 were Negroes and 4 were whites. This is 4 less Negroes and 9 less whites than were put to death in 1915 when the record was 54 Negroes and 13 whites. Included in the record are 3 women. Fourteen (14) or more than one-fourth of the total lynchings, occurred in the State of Georgia. Of those put to death 42, or 77 per cent of the total were charged with offenses other than rape. The charges for which whites were lynched were murder, 3; suspected of cutting a woman, 1 (this a Mexican). The charges for which Negroes were put to death were: Attempted rape, 9; killing officers of the law, 10; murder, 7; hog stealing, and assisting another person to escape, 6; wounding officers of the law, 4; rape, 3; insult, 2; for each of the following offenses one person was put to death: slapping a boy, robbing store, brushing against girl on street, assisting his hon, accused of rape, to escape; entering a house for robbery or some other purpose, defending her son, who in defense of mother, killed man, fatally wounding a man with whom had quarreled, speaking against mob in act of putting a man to death, attacking a man and wife with club. Lynchings occurred in the following states: Alabama, 1; Arkansas, 4; Florida, 8; Georgia, 14; Kansas, 1; Kentucky, 2; Louisiana, 2; Mississippi, 1; Missouri, 1; North Carolina, 2; Oklahoma, 4; South Carolina, 2; Tennessee, 3; Texas, 9.

PAYS TWO BIG CLAIMS The Only Old Line Insurance Company Owned and Managed by Negroes in America. Within two days following the death of H. T. Bolden, dentist, at East St. Louis, who was injured in an automobile accident on Thanksgiving evening, while riding with Dr. J. T. Breedlove, The Standard Life Insurance Company, at its home office, Atlanta, Georgia, issued to Mrs. Wertie Lee Bolden, widow and beneficiary, a check for $1,500 in full settlement of this claim. The policy referred to was issued to Dr. Bolden on October 28, 1916, and delivered to him early in November, on which he paid one quarterly premium of $17.70, which placed the insurance in full force. It required two months of persistent canvassing by local agents to persuade Dr. Bolden to take this policy. But for this persistence The Standard Life Insurance Company would not have been able to pay to Mrs. Bolden, the widow, a check for $1,500, as a protection and to take the place, in part, of the support which Dr. Bolden gave her during his lifetime. Check in full settlement of the death claim of Dr. Bolden was forwarded from Atlanta to the St. Louis office, 2363 Market street, and paid through the agency director, Chrales H. Fearing. This is an instance of the promptness with which the Standard Life adjusts its claims. Another recent and prompt adjustment of a claim was made at Decater, Alabama. The policy holder insured on October 25, 1916. On November 12, Mr. Jacobs, the insured, contracted pneumonia that proved fatal November 21. Mr. Jacobs, like Dr. Bolden, had paid only one premium.

Three Pastors and Their Congregations at Marshall, Mo., Unite In One. Great Effort for the Good of the Town and Its Surroundings. Dr. F. F. Moten Evangelist Is Conducting the Meeting. The Revs. T. A. Wilson, J. W. Jackson, W. M. Shaw of the A. M. E. Church, M. E. Church, M. E. Church and Free Will Baptist Church respectively have emerged their congregations into one great body and have begun a campaign for Christ. They have selected Rev. F. F. Moten, D. D. (named by the Kansas City Sun "The Texas Tornado") to conduct the meeting. It opened Monday night. Tuesday night it was found that the house was too small to accommodate the people; they came and heard and were convinced that there is still a God in Israel. Twenty-four voices are singing as a chorus led by the pastor, Rev. Wm. Shaw. His son, Mr. H. C. Shaw, presides at the Organ. Rev. J. W. Jackson conducts the devotionals and Rev. T. A. Wilson and an officer from each Church take the collections. It is indeed a promising meeting. SUBSCRIBERS AND "TAKERS." From our long, lean years as an editor and publisher of a Negro newspaper we have learned to differentiate between subscribers and "takers" of publications. A subscriber comes in and buys his paper and pays real, spendable money for it; a "taker" is just what his name implies—he simply "takes" the paper. He tells you in a vain-glorious, sweeping, patronizing way, "Send me that paper of yours" and usually forgets to pay. A "taker" is usually one of your "best citizens" who stands "highest in the Church" and whose voice is always first in prayer from the "amen corner." He is the one who invariably places great emphasis upon that part of the Lord's prayer which says: "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." He occupies the highest place in the synagogues and is the most conspicuous in the marketplaces. He appears always at great advantage at public meetings and never fails to expostulate to those gathered there that they should have Paid-up Capital of $100,000.00. check for one thousand dollars was paid to Mrs. Emily Jacobs, the beneficiary, mother of Mr. Mr. Jacobs, at Farley, Alabama. These two instances show the advisability of not deferring to take out life insurance; for had these men waited one month longer it would have been too late. The Standard Life Insurance Company is an institution owned and controlled entirely by Negroes. It does strictly an Old Line business. It issues policies in amounts from $250 to $5,000. It has on its books about $5,000,000 in paid for business, and the average weekly production is about $125,000. It is at present operating in nine states and will in January, 1917, enter five additional states, including Illinois. The Standard Life serves its policy holders honestly and promptly. Its policy values are right. It is the policy of the Standard Life to pay its claims immediately upon proof of death. There was but one death claim paid by the Kansas City office during 1916, and that was Fred Lored, who died in the month of August. Final proof of death of Fred Lored was mailed from the office of Stewart & Smith, 1515 East 18th street, agency directors of the Standard Life in Kansas City, on August 9, to the home office in Atlanta, and a check was received in settlement of the claim on August 12. Stewart & Smith take this occasion to thank their many friends and patrons for the liberal support they have given them during the past year and to wish them a Merry Christmas and Happy, Prosperous New Year. In One Combined Certificate "race pride." He wants his every act chronicled in the paper and kicks long and loud when his name is not at the head of the first column on the first page, crowding the date line off the margin. He has most to say about what you should editorialize upon in the paper and is most caustic in his criticism—Saturday News. CHILLICOTHE, MO.
