Kansas City Sun

HUESTON MUST WIN DR. E. J. McCAMPBELL'S DEATH SHOCKS CITY The fact that Mr. Hueston is being vigorously assailed for no other reason than that he is a Negro should cause every Negro in the 8th Ward with an ounce of manhood, whether he be Democrat or Republican, to vote for him. He loyal boys. Stand fast. VOLUME X. NUMBER 31. THE OTHER SIDE. Hon. A. L. Knox Replies to Chas. A. Starks' Demand That He Retire From Aldermanic Race In The 8th Ward. Lord Bryon once said that he awoke one morning and found himself famous. I had occasion last Saturday morning to experience something of the same feeling. Taking up the Kansas City Sun, I found my name spread across the page in large type. Beneath it was the name of Mr. Chas. A. Starks, poet, publicist, philosopher and literateur. I had not far far to be able to discover that Mr. Starks was addressing public a personal communication to me; so I am now constrained to reply to Mr. Starks and tell him why I AM THAT I AM. Now Mr. Starks, I do not recognize your right to pose as a censor of public conduct, nor to assume the role of personal advisor to myself, nor in any way pass judgment on my public acts. I am aware, that I might with perfect propriety, ignore you altogether. But, since in your self-imposed capacity of local representative and spokesman of the Negro race, you imagine you have a racial grievance, I shall regard your remarks with sufficient seriousness as to reply to them. In the very beginning, Mr. Starks, you show a peculiar bias for the man you set up as the exemplar of fairness and justice. You do not hesitate to characterize my campaign as "reprehensible, but you fail to show or point out just wherein the reprehensibility figures. Why it should be considered a virtue for Mr. Hueston to run for Alderman, but reprehensible on my part is a proposition that my poor mind cannot comprehend. While you were disposing of so many local public matters both moral and political, you might have been a little more lucid on that point. You say that my candidacy is essentially for L. A. K. I was not aware that you possess sufficient clairvoyant power to be able to read my mind. Therefore I ask, how do you know that my motives are essentially selfish? Wherein and whereby do you obtain such positive assurance on that head? Do you mean to draw a picture, Mr. Starks, for Mr. Hueston, as the embodiment of all that is saintly and unselfish, and of myself as all that is sinful and selfish? The public will hardly follow you there, Mr. Starks. Mr. Hueston himself who is already suffering from the over-zealousness of some of his fool friends, would not say as much. The public knows that to be an Alderman from the Eighth Ward is an honor. The office carries prestige and emoluments, and there is nothing saintly or hypocritical in the candidacy of either Mr. Hueston or myself. We both would like the honor, we believe would come to us, by being thus able to serve this community, and neither deserves to be cindemned because his ambition moves him to seek the honor. You stated, Mr. Starks, that last week you pointed out the honorable course that any other Negro aspirant should take. Very kind of you to do that, but were you aware that the General Assembly of this state had gotten ahead of you and had already laid down the proper procedure for any aspirant to take to obtain a nomination. Why, oh why, did not those legislators consult you before laying down the laws! Section 5843—Election Laws of the State of Missouri (1916) gives us the procedure by which may be nominated for office. I beg most humbly to call your attention to the fact that there are TWO WAYS in which that may be done. The one way is by a convention of delegates duly certified for that purpose. The other is by a petition containing the names of 1 per cent of the legal voters of the last general election. No petition may contain fewer than fifty names nor more than one thousand. The legal voters in the 8th Ward at the last general election numbered 4,109. One per cent of that number is 42. My petition contained about 75 legal voters and it was by those 75 men that I was nominated. The Kansas City Sun Moreover about 400 legal voters signed a petition asking me to run. Thus while I did not adopt the procedure you so confidently put forth as the only "honorable course," I did secure my nomination in a perfectly fair and perfectly legal manner. I conformed strictly to the law; and had you, my dear sir, been less completely blinded by your partisanship, and your keen desire to rush into print, you would not have presumed to offer your feeble ideas as a substitute for statute law. I was nominated in the regular legal manner, by bona fide legal voters and the number required by law, and as regards the legality of my nomination there can be neither question nor quibble. By whom was Mr. Hueston nominated? Mr. Hueston was nominated by a delegation from the 8th Ward, and thsi, too, after the death of the convention and after the rest of the delegates had gone home. That entire delegation numbered 40 men. 27 Negroes and 13 Whites. The 13 Whites did not want to nominate Mr. Hueston, but were outnumbered by the 27 Negroes. They therefore had to submit but refused to vote for him. According to custom and tradition the nominations made by ward delegates must be ratified by the convention, while in session. Every nominee was ratified by being CERTIFIED TO THE CONVENTION, except the Lower House nominee from the 8th Ward. Why? Mr. Hueston's nomination was never ratified by the convention. Why? Because Mr. Homer B. Mann declared that if Mr. Hueston's name were presented to that convention for ratification, every white man would take up his hat and walk out. And yet, Mr. Starks, you have the effrontery to say that Mr. Hueston was nominated by "virtue of a great organized party and the favoring sentiment of his people," while I have no support "except the possible overtures of personal friends." Mr. Hueston was nominated by 27 ward delegates who did not dare ask the convention to ratify their act. I was nominated by nearly three times as many legal voters, in unquestionably due and legal form. If I should be elected there could be no sort of question as to the legality of it; if Mr. Hueston be elected, the assumption of his office will be in grave legal jeopardy. I think I understand, Mr. Starks, how you were able some time ago to write so forcibly and fluently on the subject of camouflage. You are quite a camouflage yourself. You tell me that the people (meaning yourself I presume) would like to know just one single basic principle for which he can offer one single argument for my "ungraceful move." Here it is: I WAS DULY NOMINATED ACCORDING TO LAW BY NEARLY THREE TIMES AS MANY LEGAL VOTERS NATION OF MR. HUESTON AND MY NOMINATION HAD BEEN COMPLETED, MY HEADQUARTERS OPENED AND MY CAMPAIGN UNDER WAY NEARLY TWO WEEKS BEFORE MR. HUESTON ENTERED THE FIELD. Is that basic enough? Having given you one basic reason you asked for, I might now retire from the field, leaving you dazed, if not unconscious, but I am going to do more than you asked. I shall give you another "basic reason." Listen: LONG BEFORE MR. HUESTON'S NAME WAS EVER MENTIONED I HAD BEEN URGED BY MY CONSTITUTIONS TO OFFER MY NAME AS CANDIDATE FOR ALDERMAN OF THE 8TH WARD. Not being a politician I had not thought to obtain the nomination through political machination, but had resolved to secure my nomination by petition, as I felt, confident that the necessary number of voters would endorse me. They did so. Again: BEING FREE BORN, OF LAWFUL AGE, AND NOT SUBJECT TO THE DICTATION OF "TOM, BARKER FOR TREASURER. Harry E. Barker has proven the most competent and satisfactory Treasurer Kansas City has ever had and we will only be serving ourselves by returning him to that office by what we predict will be the largest majority a candidate for that office has ever received. Reward faithfulness and ability; re-elect Harry E. Barker. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1918. The New $50,000 Jackson County Home for Negroes JACKSON COUNTY HOME FOR AQUID & INFANT MEDICINES WHITE & DRAW ARCHITECTS The above is the Architect's sketch of the new $50,000 Home to be erected for Aged and Infirm Negroes at the Jackson County Farm, across the roadway from the magnificent new building now occupied by the white dependents of the County. The gratitude of the Negroes of this County is due Judges Bulger, Woodson and Pendleton for their consideration in caring for the unfortunate Negroes of this County. On last Thursday, the Advisory Committee, composed of Mrs. John Lange, Rev. F. D. Wells, Mrs. Clara Adams, Wm. H. Harrison, Mrs. F. J. Jackson (Matron), Dr. Howard M. Smith (Supt.), and Nelson C. Crews, Chairman, visited the farm formally selected the site and made their report to the Court sitting at Independence. Presiding Judge Bulger assured the Committee that the building would be rushed to early completion, and both Judges Woodson and Pendleton, his associates, earnestly promised to see that it met every need of the Negro people. The Sun is proud of the unselfish generosity and public spirit of these tried and trusted county officials and firmly believes that the Negro people of Jackson County will demonstrate their appreciation whenever the opportunity presents itself. No abler nor more satisfactory County Court ever presided over the affairs of Jackson County than the present distinguished coterie of gentlemen who fill these positions. To Dr. Howard M. Smith, himself a stanch Democrat, is due much of the credit for this splendid work and the every member of the Court is a stalwart Democrat, they have done for our race what a Republican Court did not have the courage to do and yet the things which should have been done years ago. DICK AND HARRY, I KNOW NO REASON, NOR HAVE YOU ADDUCED ANY, WHY I SHOULD NOT EXERCISE THE RIGHTS AND PRE-ROGATIVES APPERTAINING TO AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. The following letters speak for themselves: Law Offices WATSON, GAGE & WATSON, Grand Avenue Temple Building, Kansas City, Mo., March 26, 1918. Rev. R. Davis, 1518 Michigan Avenue, Kansas City. Dear Sir: I want to write a word to you in favor of L. A. Knox, who is running for Alderman of the Eighth Ward against W. C. Hueston, an attorney, who is a regular nominee on the Republican ticket. I know Mr. Hueston's association in politics in this city and I also know something about Mr. L. A. Knox. Mr. Knox is a far better representative of the Colored race than Mr. Hueston. When I was conducting the vice investigation a year ago I had occasion to call upon Mr. Knox for information and I always found his information correct. His influence and assistance was at all times against vice and in favor of clean government, and it is for that reason that I am writing you a word in his favor. I hope the better element of you The New $50,000 The above is the Architect's sketch the Jackson County Farm, across the pendants of the County.

No abler nor more satire the present distinguished coterie of stanch Democrat, is due much of the wart Democrat, they have done for the things which should have been race will support Mr. Knox instead of Mr. Hueston. Yours very truly, I. N. WATSON. Dr. Crossland writes: "I have had the pleasure to know intimately well Attorney L. A. Knox during the years he lived in St. Joseph, where he practiced his profession and conducted himself as a gentleman in every conceivable way; always loyal to the best interests of his race and stood for all the highest developments of citizenship. He at no time acted the supplicant. He witdrew from the race for city attorney for the best interest of the Republican party without any financial consideration whatever. J. R. A. CROSSLAND, M. D. Also, Mr. Starks, may I be sufficiently immodest as to make known some of the reasons, basic and otherwise, why I venture to consider myself worthy of the suffurance of my fellow citizens of the 8th Ward? I. On three different occasions, when the notorious and unjust segregation law was under consideration, I appeared before the proper committees and fought it and I did not rest until the proposition was dead. 2. When the city proposed to build a vile and obnoxious incinerating plant right in the heart of our Negro settlement, I went to the mat with the authorities and stayed there until the matter was killed. 3. For three years, others and myself fought the vicious saloons on East 18th Street, near our High School, until we wiped them out. Modesty forbids me going further—but let me ask, were those things constructive or destructive? And were they essentially for L. A. K.? Lastly, Mr. Starks, you do me the supreme favor of all: you suggest to me how to withdraw! Thank you! Unfortunately at this time I am quite busy pushing my campaign, and am in no need of information on that score. So while I am politely declining your services at this time, I will say that should I feel your advice in the future, I shall seek it. Meantime I suggest that Mr. Hueston withdraw you as his campaign manager, until you more thoroughly acquaint and advise yourself as to the law and facts. DR. J. E. McCAMPBELL DEAD. One of Kansas City's Young and Most Aggressive Physicians Passed Away After a Brief Illness. ALL KANSAS CITY IS SHOCKED Like a thunder-clap from a clear sky came the news last Thursday morning at 8 o'clock that Dr. Ernest James McCampbell, one of the most successful and popular physicians of our race, had succumbed to an attack of pneu 1000 Jackson County H each of the new $50,000 Home to be erected on the roadway from the magnificent new buidage of the Negroes of this County is due for the unfortunate Negroes of this County, John Lange, Rev.

The credit for this splendid work and the for our race what a Republican Court did done years ago. monia. Dr. McCampbell was born in Huntsville, Mo., September 13, 1887, and came with his parents to this city some yeads later, where he attended the Ward school, and graduated from the High School in 1904. He afterwards attended the Washburn Medical College at Topeka, Kas., where he graduated with honors in 1908 and begun the practice of medicine in this city immediately thereafter. He was married to Miss Jean Wallace of Columbia, S. C., in 1909, and to them were born four beautiful children, two boys and two girls, aged respectively 8, 6, 4 years and 6 months. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon from Allen Chapel, of which he was a member, and will be conducted by Dr. William H. Thomas, minister. Dr. Ernest McCampbell was one of the race's most progressive and successful young physicians, being at the time of his death inspector in the public schools of our city as well as upon the staff of the City Hospital, and had built up a practive in this community unsurpassed by any other young physician in this city. He was the son of two of the race's most valuable citizens in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas G. McCampbell. Mr. McCampbell, Sr., the custodian of Western University, Grand High Priest of the Royal Areh Masons of Missouri and a tireless worker in the interest of the race. Mrs. T. G. McCampbell is president of the Women's Federation of Clubs, leader in the Red Cross and other war activities in the community, a member of the Orphan Children's Home Committee and a leader in every movement in which the Negro woman hood of this city of state is asked to take part. She was one of the prime movers of the establishment of the Girls' Industrial Home at Tipton and never ceased her efforts until it was an accomplished reality. Their children have all measured up to the standard of their illustrious parentage. Their oldest son, Thomas, being both a graduate physician and a partner in the McCampbell-Houston Drug Stores in this city, their oldest daughter, Fannie, is the lovable wife of the Rev. Dr. William H. Peck, for many years the pastor of Allen Chapel, now pastoring St. James in St. Louis; while his youngest daughter, Olivia, is the wife of Prof. G. A. Page, the proprietor of our only shoe store and principal of our public school at Quindaro. The sympathy of this entire state (where to know the McCampbells is to love them) goes out to the family in this trying hour. And words are inadequate to express the deep feeling of the thousands who knew, loved and admired both the amiable qualities and the splendid professional ability of Dr. Ernest J. McCampbell. The Sun extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family and bids them put their trust in that God who doeth all things well and though some things are beyond our understanding, yet we have an abiding faith that what- Home for Negroes tited for Aged and Infirm Negroes at building now occupied by the white de- gue Judges Bulger, Woodson and Pen- is County.

MARSHALL BROWN MURDERED. Mr. Marshall Brown, about 67 years of age and an old citizen of this city, who has conducted a restaurant and rooming house at 561 Grand avenue for a number of years, was called to his door last Tuesday morning about 3 o'clock by four white men and without any explanation was knocked to the floor, beaten and kicked into insensibility, then one of the men drew a revolver and fired three shots into his body. His wife hearing the commotion, rushed to the door to assist him and was also knocked down and the ruffians having accomplished their purpose hurriedly left. Brown was carried to the Wheatley-Provident hospital, but never regained consciousness, dying the next evening from the effects of his wounds. WHY NOT? Why not vote for Mrs. H. N. Ess for Member of School Board? It's both wise and right. THE MAN OF THE HOUR. M. WILLIAM CLARENCE HUESTON, the Republican nominee for Alderman of the Eight Ward, was born in the OLD BLUE GRASS STATE, 37 years ago, attended Kansas University where he graduated with high honors from the Law Department in 1904, coming to Kansas City the same year where he began the practice of his profession. Mr. Hueston owns a beautiful little home at 1514 East 11th street, where he lives as well as other property scattered throughout the city. Has a wife and three beautiful children, two boys and a girl, is the Past Master and organizer of the largest Masonic Lodge in Missouri, is the Grand Treasurer of the Odd Fellows, Treasurer of Mount Oread Lodge, A. F. & A. M., Chancellor Commander for seven years of Progress Lodge, K. of P., Past Master of the United Brethren of Friendship, Trustee of Allen Chapel, Director of Wheatley-Provident Hospital, and an orator of unusual power and ability. Every Negro Republican, Democrat or Independent in the Eighth Ward should vote for Mr. Hueston as well as that brave, patriotic and fair-minded element of White men who believe in the doctrine of "All men up and no men down." ATTENTION! BLACK MEN Hear Ye The Call of Race To Arms. By Chas. A. Starks Now we are practically at the polls where we may cast a vote either for or against our race. All eyes are upon us. The Kansas City Negro becomes the cynosure for all his black brothers throughout the country. They are watching us, watching for the announcement next Wednesday morning that W. C. Hueston, the race's representative, has been duly and gloriously elected as Alderman in the Eighth Ward of this city. This will mean a little more recognition, a little more opportunity to raise the manhood and womanhood of our people.

If we want fair, human and reasonably sympathetic investigation of our public claims we must proceed by our vote to put such a voice in that office. We Can Have It If We Will. With Negroes alone rests the question whether we shall have a race man to represent us or whether we shall have a white Democrat to NOT represent us in that office. There will be no chance to lay our failure (barring graft and cheating) to the white man's door because he is sadly in the minority. If we fail it is because we are not men; because we are moved by sinister influences and not by the noble springs of manhood that flow in virile veins. If we lose it will be because a few, BUT TOO MANY, jealous or misguided Negroes will either sell their race to the Democratic party or allow themselves to fall into the pitiful way of voting for We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions. Why not advertise what you have to rent or sell in this paper which reaches all the colored people in greater Kansas City? PRICE, 5c. S CITY a losing Negro whose cause is himself and himself alone. But We Shall Not Fail. There are more good Negroes than there are bad ones; more honest ones than corrupt ones; more thinking ones than thoughtless ones; more who believe in right than in wrong; more who love their race than those who are indifferent to its welfare; more who will not sell their votes than those who will warp most hellishly their very souls, everything is in our favor—the natural impulses speak for us, as we know what is expected of us. We Will Do Our Duty. Be not misled! A vote for William C. Hueston for Alderman of the 8th Ward is practically a vote for your black father, mother, sister or brother, because it is a vote for your race. The reasons for voting for him are plain, anyone can understand. Negro representation can be won with YOUR VOTE. A vote for Knox is OF THE HOUR. ON, the Republican nominee for Alderman OF BLUE GRASS STATE, 37 years ago, he graduated with high honors from the Kansas City the same year where he be-Mr. Hueston owns a beautiful little home lives as well as other property scattered in three beautiful children, two boys and a mer of the largest Masonic Lodge in Mis-Odd Fellows, Treasurer of Mount Oread commander for seven years of Progress United Brethren of Friendship, Trustee of Provident Hospital, and an orator of un-gro Republican, Democrat or Independent for Mr. Hueston as well as that brave, White men who believe in the doctrine against every principle of right because by his selfishness he has violated the law of honor and truth and ignored the plea of our fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers, because he has sacrificed his race and its weal upon the damnable altar of political intrigue! To vote for Knox under the circumstances is equivalent to voting the Democratic ticket. Which will you Do? As It Should Be. Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence; it is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which this world forces us to war in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness, and without any dread of ridicule.-F. W. Robertson. From Our Foreign Correspondents A. F. and A. M. Mo.

We are willing to find people guilty, and unwilling to be at the trouble of examining into the accusation." The Women's Mite Missionary Society held its monthly meeting on the 17th and, following a short program consisting of solos by Mrs. Julian Anderson and Edward Miller, and a paper on "Christianity" by Mrs. William Irvin, remarks were made by Rev. Martin upon the advisability of the members taking up the study of Missionary workers. The consensus of the members present were apparently in favor of taking hold of the work along the lines suggested. The Pleasant Hour Club met with Mrs. Edward Miller on the 20th. A paper on the life of Dunbar by Mrs. Sadie Ford elicited a discussion which proved both interesting and instructive. A piano_solo by Miss Carolyn Dorsey completed the afternoon program. Bernice A. Dorsey was over from Anaconda for a visit with old friends. George M. Lee, Sr., spent a few days in the city last week. At Boulder Hot Springs, where he has been located for several years, he says "business is boiling." J. A. Robinson of St. Paul, Minn., is running into Helena.

Robert Houston, while visiting the bungalow last week, met with what might have proved to be a fatal accident. Having ascended a ladder to make some repairs in the garage he fell to the floor, becoming unconscious and receiving a deep cut over one of his eyes from contact with a granite pail. At this writing he is doing well. The Bright Star Club met with Mrs. Ada Hart, its president, on the 19th. Ad E.

By Katherine D. Tillman, Columbia, Missouri. "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land?" I have always been an ardent admirer of the women of my race, but their conduct during the crises of war has caused my admiration to deepen into a flame of love. A few months ago Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, our National president of Colored Women's Clubs, whore me that she needed a woman to keep in touch with war work among Negro women and to report weekly to the Division on Women's War Work at Washington. She asked me to take the work I pledged myself to my government during the registration of women, and felt that when this call came I could not be a slacker. As director of publicity for the National it becomes my pleasure to inform you that Mrs. Talbert is deeply interested in the success of our army. She has toured the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texts in the interest of Food Conservation and the Red Cross and is preparing now to tour Virginia and Georgia. In May she hopes to visit Indiana. Letters come from North, East, South and West; all breathing intense loyalty, all containing stories of stirring deeds for the flag we love so well.

At Chester, Pa., the colored Women raised $352.70 for Red Cross Work and 210 boxes were packed for soldiers. At Pittsburg 10 Red Cross Units were formed. Mrs. Bennett has a class of men knitters, who make excellent sweaters.

Through the co-operation of the Press we have secured a number of specially qualified men, but our needs as yet have not been fully supplied. Doubtless there are many Negro registrants who are qualified to meet the requirements of the Division, who will be called sooner or later, and who are willing to enter the military service ahead of their turn on the register in order to serve. Reciprocally, there are distinct advantages to such men of entering the Army when they are needed most. In so doing they fit into places for which they are best fitted and which they prefer to fill. I will appreciate very much any publicity you can give this appeal. All correspondence should be addressed to Lieut. T. T. Thompson, Assistant Personnel Officer, 92nd Division, Camp Funston, Kansas. WIDELY KNOWN (?) EVANGELIST APOLOGIZES IN COURT. S. Douglas McDuffie, the self-styled "World's renowned, most eminent and noted evangelist of the race," answered to a charge of assault in Justice Lee Daniel's court Tuesday morning on information sworn to by Mrs. Laura Mills. Strong pressure was brought to bear on the complainant by followers of the preacher to induce Mrs. Mills not to prosecute him, but the case was called and after the evangelist virtually pleaded guilty and apologies for his conduct promising to be good, the case was dismissed by Judge Daniel—Tulsa, Okla.

REGIMENT BAND. Lyons, France.—The 15th N. Y. regiment, one of the units of the American army in this country, was recently here. No regiment received greater welcome than did this crack Afro-American regiment. The entire city turned out to greet it, the officials of the city extending the welcome. When its band, under the leadership of James R. Europe, swung down the streets of Lyons, followed by the regiment, the people of this city was treated to music that simply charmed them, and all Lyons now declares that it is the grandest band that ever visited here.

Bell, E. 1011 NEARLY THREE THOUSAND RACE PEOPLE IN MONSTER MEETING IN MEMPHIS At least twenty-five hundred Afro-Americans packed Avery Chapel, on Sunday afternoon, March 17th, in an enthusiastic mass meeting, the object of which was to demonstrate the appreciation of the Colored citizens of this section, for the leadership and public utterances of Bishop Thos. F. Gallor, who has won the everlasting affection of the Race, in this section of the country, by reason of the fearless stand which he has taken for the universal uplift of mankind. The meeting was organized by the Rev. W. T. Vernon, pastor of Avery Chapel, and Ex-Registrar of the United States' Treasury, who has been universally acclaimed as champion of the rights of his people, at this time when every effort is being made to unite more closely the white and Colored races in the South. Preliminary to the monster meeting, Dr. Vernon called together over one hundred of the leading business and professional men of Memphis and Shelby county, to secure their approval of the plan which he had in mind. The men organized a committee of one hundred to foster this movement. Then came the wonderful meeting of March 17th which will go down in the annals of the Race, as a red letter day in this section of the country. The meeting was scheduled for four o'clock, and at four precisely Bishop Gallor arrived at the Church. Through a long line of prominent Race men, distinguished by badges designed for the occasion, the Bishop was escorted across the side-walk, up the aisle of the church, to the platform. When Bishop Gallor appeared the entire audience spontaneously rose to its feet and extended an ovation such as one might expect would be accorded to the President of the United States. The applause continued until the venerable prelate was*seated, and the sweet sound of music fell upon the almost deafened ears of the spectators. Dr. Vernon called upon Rev. M. I. Warfield for the invocation, after which he stated the purpose of the movement, saying that the Negro had learned to differentiate between real friends and those who profess friendship; and that the honored guest, Bishop Gallor, stood as a concrete example of one who exemplified the highest and best in religious and civic life; that he had declared for equal and exact justice for all men, regardless of race, and that his high position, assured standing and eminent public services, all were being utilized to make a better day for all people of the Southland. The committee of Ore Hundred of the best men of the Race, with their friends, had met here today to demonstrate, in a pronounced way, their appreciation and approval, and ddo all possible to cement the races in an endeavor for better conditions in the South. He then presented Rev. F. A. Garrett, M.A. rector of Emmanuel Episcopal church, who in turn introduced the Bishop, as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen, it becomes my privilege and very great pleasure to have the honor of introducing to you on this memorable occasion, in the history of Memphis and Shelby county, one who, in fact, needs no introduction at this meeting; one who represents all that is noblest and best, in the leadership, thought and good citizenship of our native land the Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Gallor, D.D. friend of humanity." The Bishop then rose and delivered a speech which from beginning to end was optimistic in the superlative. He began by enumerating the elements composing the uplift of all races, and went on to say: "In the Declaration of Independence every human being is entitled to three rights: Life—that is existence. He has the right to exist. Liberty—he has the right to be independent. The pursuit of happiness—and that means progress and development, and insofar as these three rights are concerned all men are created equal." The Bishop's talk hinged on the fact that the growth of government and life is a question of evolution, and later went on to say that when the gospel of Jesus Christ became the law of the whole land, then everyone would get all of his rights and privileges, and a new age would begin for banked, when the great doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of man would be paramount. Then followed a few remarks from Mr. Bolton Smith, who stressed the point that the Negro's best opportunity awaits him now, when his country has thought enough of him to give him the uniform. Then Dr. Vernon, who had just returned from Washington, where he went as a member of a commission sent by the Bishops' Council of his Church to confer with President Wilson relative to the rights and protection of the Negro, said in concluding the meeting that he felt that the great men of the country were in accord with Bishop Gallor in the stand which he had taken for humanity. The meeting came to a close with Benediction by the Rev. Dr. A. R. Griggs of Dallas, Texas, and the great gathering dispersed, greatly benefitted by what they had seen and heard, and all felt that, some real work had been done this time towards creating a better understanding between the races. For this meeting had been called, organized and promoted by men, whom the people not only know, but also can trust. The leaders on this occasion rang true.

Mr. O'Bannon was a member of five lodges, the Compact Masons, the Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem, the Odd Fellows, the U. B. F.

W. Hurse. He leaves to mourn his loss, his widow, Mrs. Jennie O'Bannon; two sons, John and Milton; a devoted son-in-law, R. O. Beverly; two daughters, Mrs. R. O. Beverly and Miss Jennie O'Bannon; two brothers, Grant O'Bannon and William Scott; four sisters, Mrs. Sallie Carter, Mrs. Sam Blair, Mrs. James Smith, of Centerview, Mo., and Mrs. Rosa B. Scott of this city; three grandchildren and a multitude of relatives and friends to murn his loss. The Sun extends to the bereaved family its deepest sympathy in the loss of this good man and splendid citizen. CARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs. James Thomas of 1914 Tracy Avneue wish to turn Rev. G. H. Daniels, pastor of the Morning Star Baptist Church, and the ladies of the Mission Circle, many thanks for their kindness to her during her illness and also for their silver offerings. Mr. Charley Nelson entertained a number of his friends with a birthday party at his home, 2216 Michigan Avenue, Monday night, March 18, 1918. He received a number of beautiful presents and everyone reports an enjoyable time. Those members of the Knights of Pythias who could not rfrain last Sunday at their annual sermon from going to a joint to get a dring and were arrested and carted away in a patrol wagon ought to have a sense of shame for the embarrassment they brought not only to the Order but to the race. These hell holes that surround our churches should be exterminated, and every honest, respectable citizen should assist in driving them from these localities. SECOND EDITION GOING FAST—ORDER NOW.

Hubbel, 2630 Highland avenue, had a sign in his chicken yard which read: "An egg a day keeps the hatchet away," and apparently so impressed were his hens with the significance of the motto that they are breaking the records in laying. Mr. Hubbel obtains from about thirty hens an average of an egg each day. One hen has the remarkable record of laying two eggs a day for the last ten days. And Mr. Hubbel thinks so much of his chickens that he has named them all. Among his flock are hens named: Mattie, Little Brown, Miss Egga-Day, Red Top, Miss Sunday, Bettie Black, Lulu, Bright Eye, Little Sunlight, Pet Coon, Morning Star, The Old Blue Hen. Personality. The two great obstacles to the healthy development of personality are jealousy and fear, and they are as high and terrible in business as in any other department of life's activities. So long as a man harbors envy for any one of his fellows, more especially his competitor in business, so long will he be devoid of that elixir which personality advertises. Being jealous of some other man does not harm the other man; it only injures the jealous one. And if the jealousy be openly expressed, the extent of the damage increases, whilst the object of the envy receives an addition of benefit and value for himself through the gratuitous advertisement. A man occupied in envying another is using up power which he could better apply for his own progression—Exchange.

BROWN MARTIN YOUNG Proprietor 1918 BOOKER T.WASHINCTON The Master Mind of A CHILD OF SLAVERY Manner of Edition - rCace | eed | ( = pe High Winds Make Trouble for Gotham Pedestrians: N™ YORK.—The problem of how to conduct oneself, or where to conduct | oneself, or where to be conducted in an 80-mile gale faced virtually every one who had the temerity to shut an apartment house door behind himself or. co run at the rate of about 20 miles an hour until she managed to get hold of ao “L" pillar in Park Row, She swung around it three times and her hat was ‘blown high in the alr and hung suspended from the “L” structure, For three tortuous moments the young woman strove to keep a hold on the pillar and keep her tailor-made sult where a tailor-made sult should remain, after which she went running again and was carried straight through the swinging doors of a modest saloon on the east side of the street, There her bat was delivered to her and a policeman led her to the subway kiosk. Samuel Vichie, a twelve-year-old schoolboy living at 83 Oliver street, never knew his strength until that time. He was standing at the corner of Lafayette and Duane streets when the gale swept into his reefer and rompers ang lifted him quite free of the earth, He flew across the street and landed against a team of stalwart horses. Both horses fell down, and a moment later, to the boy’s utter astonishment, the truck rolled over after them. The boy suffered slightly from shock and greatly from ego. At nine o'clock a human chain formed at the corner of One Hundred and Forty-fifth street and Broadway and for more than half an hour a steady stream of persons made their way to the subway by the expedient of getting @ place {n the line and holding onto the hand of the person before them. On the Same Plan Youth Might Have Started Harem nse CITY.—No matter how patriotic one may be, It does not pay to have more than one wife, James Hanlon, an elghteen-year-old sailor, learned when he was arraigned before Magistrate Grossman on a charge of fon adinitted, he shipped again, with Miss Emma Bolk of 503 East Eighty- third street, Manhattan, Wife No. 1 learned of the second Mrs. Hanlon and get # warrant for Hanlon’s arrest. “How did you expect to take care of two wives on your salary?” Mr. MoCrystal asked him, “Oh, Pd live with them both,” vas the naive reply. “They are not very big and I guess I could keep them from pulling each other's hair if they tried to start anything.” Hanlon told Mr. MeCrystal Emma Bolk knew when she was married to him that he had married Elizabeth Connolly, ‘The second wife denied this. She said she had seen Hanlon and Miss Connolly come out of the church October 15, but thought they were coming from confession, She admitted the couple were followed by a crowd that threw old shoes and rice at them. “I thought it was a joke,” she explained, “and I joined in the fun.” Magistrate Grossman sent Hanlon to the Tombs in default of $1,500 bail for examination, Elopement Plans Ended by Stern Policewoman Cee erap game and a policewoman ended what had been planned as a happy elopement for “Yak” Williams and his erstwhile “future,” Margaret Cordith. It all happened in a West side theater. “Yak,” a veteran fall her mother would become suspicious, So they agreed to take the mid- night train for Milwaukee, In the meantime “Yak's” luck took another turn, and this time the bones failed him to the extent of the entire forty. “Yak” came buck to Margaret crestfallen, Margaret was determined not to let their future happiness be halted by a mere few dollars, and from a girl friend she borrowed all—$3.60, ‘The happy couple decided to take in a “movie” before the train left. Mar- goret was restless and “Yak” was nervous, Their actions, coupled with their possession of the two overpacked suitcases, aroused the suspicions of a po licewoman in the theater, Despite protests, they were marched to the Desplaines street station. Mrs. O'Brien, Margaret's mother, was sent for. With a daggerlike glance at her “almost” son-in-law she rushed to her daughter's side. She per- aded Margaret to return home. “Yak" is still selling papers on the corner, and is confident that he'll win his bride yet. Youth Merely Victim of Overvaulting Ambition Moo es Tuezynski is employed as an attendant at Muirdale. He took a trip to Windlake and Hayes avenues. A call was received by the police to send the patrol wagon to that section, “What was the matter with you?” asked Judge Page, when the accused was arraigned in his court. “Well, your honor, I have an application in to be appointed a probation officer, and I thought that if I went down in that section and cleaned up a good case it would help my future,” sald Tuczynskl, “Then you thought that a little practice would make you perfect for the position which you desired,” sald Judge Page. “I think he is a little gone in the upper story,” interposed Patrolman Zarek, By order of Judge Page, Doctor Rupp examined the defendant, and his decision was as follows: “The boy is sane, but he has a bug on being appointed probation officer, and I adyised him that unless he mended his ways he would not be an em cpless of the comnts, but @ patieut of Doctor Young.” Bat eee Hiram ON en, ft Mle rag pag ge cht morulng recently, All sorts of per- s004 took the storm in all sorts of manners, but in the main New York regarded the draught rather seriously and went in whatever direction or at whatever velocity the breeze sug- gested, One young woman who refused to give her name, address or any inkling of what she thought of the day was blown all the way across City Hall park from Broadway, She continued MW? prea call? 4 . es a | LAs i) Fee ee Se ee See streets, had talked things over with Margaret, and the stage was set for the elopement, “Yak" counted his duy’s earnings—$2.50—but still not enough to get merried on, An-alley crap game profited him ‘to the tune of $37.50, With the money racked away in a seeret pocket, he ‘to break the glad tidings to Margaret. surgaret agreed to pack up at ‘fence, but said If they left before night- ; és ve weeny. anion eulsied when uns country entered the war, Clad in his uniform he made a big impression on the girls in his neighborhood.

Some sys- tematic and devoted women are glv- ing all their spare time to making these comfort kits, receiving the ma- terials from the Red Cross chapters, and doing the work at home. One Chicago lady has turned tn 500 of them and this In addition to other Red Cross activities, and club work. As she attends to her own housekeeping, she has not a great deal of lelsure, and finds it best to specialize in kits —so she has become an expert In mak- ing them. There is very great need of mechan- fes in the ship building arm of the service. Perhaps some of our woman readers can be instrumental in call- ing the attention of men of their fam- files or acquaintance to this work. ‘The following admonition appears in the Red Cross bulletin, issued by the Southwest division of February 18: GOOD ADVICE FROM ST.

These happenings occurred last ing. The employee of Uncie Sam took with him four pairs of eyeglasses, as they were to stay down river several days, and eyeglasses are easily broken. During the days that ensued three pairs of glasses were broken, until he had gotten down to his last patr, One evening the party took a trip In an automobile. On the way back later, through some mismanagement, the car went over in the ditch and its contents spilled into the road. Nobody was hurt, but the government employee had that last pair of glasses knocked off his nose. They searched the road, but were unable to find the afds to vision. The man had the notion that they had fallen on the grass, and were unbroken. He clung to this hope after they had returned to the launch. “Jim,” he told the colored man-of-all-work, “tomorrow morning early you go back up the road to where we had that spill last night and see if you can't find my glasses.” “The next morning, when the government employee awoke, he recalled his glasses, and wondered if Jim had gone after them. “I can see him now,” he said. “Now he is coming down the road, now he fs looking in the grass—ah! there they are.” Jim had got ahead of him, however, for no sooner had he thought this than that early bird Jim hove in sight at the head of the ladder running down into the cabin. “I found ‘em, I found 'em!" shouted Jim, holding the glasses aloft in triumph. Then Jim slipped and broke the glasses into a thousand bits, One Answer to the Question That Is Universal H® WAS a youngish man with friendly eyes, and he had stopped short in his swinging stride to greet a plainish woman old enough to be his ma.

A great many Sunday schools will probably omit the review lesson and devote the day to some special Easter exercises, This practice we cannot wholly condemn, but we would urge every school to devote some time to a consideration of the lesson text. Review Sunday 1s dreaded by many superintendents, but it is a test of Knowledge and skill in teaching, as well as the character of work done dur- ing the past three months, Some codemn Bible-school teaching by comparing it disparagingly with that of the day school without taking Into consideration the difference be- tween pald and volunteer teachers, the Imited time devoted to study, discl- pline and other features, It is mant- festly unfair to judge the Sunday school by the same pedagogical stand- ards as are applied to our public schools. ‘The Sunday school deals with spiritual realities and not alone with moral issues, It {s a wonderful tes- timony to the blessing of God that with such meager equipment, training and time at our disposal, the results of the Sunday school are so wonderfully effec tive in the Christian development of our country, With religious education legislated out of our public-school sys- tem, almost entirely neglected in our homes, and not one family in five or six connected with the Christian church, this suggests & condition savor- ing of cultured paganism, This ought not to discourage the Sunday-school worker, but rather challenge him to greater concentration and more yal- fant endeavor. If a review ts desired, summarize the lessons by allowing twelve classes or twelve persons to each bring in a brief. digest. Lesson 1 gives us the testimony of John the Baptist concerning the one “mightier” than himself, “whose shoes he was not worthy to unloose.” Les- son 2 shows the impeccability of Je- sus in that he was “tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.” Lesson 3 reveals him as the holy one of God, with power over unclean spir- {ts and other sicknesses, Lesson 4 shows us Jesus as Savior who has power on earth to forgive sins, If he be not the Son of God the worship of Jesus is nothing less than paganism or idolatry. Lesson 6 shows us Jesus as ‘Lord of the Sabbath. Lesson 6 as the ‘Son of God, not only in his healing ‘power but in his authority over un- clean spirits with power to delegate that authority to others, Lesson 7 shows Jesus as the great teacher who will bring forth abundant fruit and eternal life. Lesson 8 shows the mar- velous germinal power of the divine seed. Lesson 9 shows Jesus as the Son of God, whom even the winds and the sea must obey, Lesson 10 shows us Jesus as the Son of God with power over death. Lesson 11 shows us Jesus as not only having authority over un- clean spirits, but possessing power to impart that authority to others, while Lesson 12 shows us his compassion upon the unshepherded multitude, and the exercise of his divine creative power in feeding them, Of course such a review will be rapid and perhaps incomplete, but tt will show that Jesus meets every situ- ation and that his grace 1s sufficient for all the conditions of life. It will also show that his words communicate vitality to society but that thelr ef- fectiveness depends upon the response which 1s accorded to them, If a test is required of the pupils, a set of questions covering the work of the quarter should be prepared and given to them a week in advance, from which a half dozen might be se- lected for written review during tha class hour, This is no theoretical plan, The writer knows of many Sun+ day schools where written reviews are being successfully conducted, ‘The Holy Land where Christ lived, suffered, died and rose again, has re- cently been captured from the control of the Ottoman empire, and current history indicates the probable early establishment of a Jewish state in this land of prophecy, A Christian on his knees can get a clearer vision of heaven than a sin- ner can with a telescope. ‘The first law that God gave unto man was the law of pure obedience— for as much as to obey Is the proper ‘office of a rational soul,—Montaigne, “It 1s only when tomorrow's .bur- den is added to the burden of today that the welght is more than we can bear.” An Inconsistent Christian ts no, eve dence that the Bible is not true, See He who keeps close to God will not be close with God, [HE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1918 Leader in Nationalistic Movement Tells How Race’ Kept Its Individuality Under Alien Masters—He Was Not in Favor of Complete Independence » ww « je SSS Se OS ee Fy ee f SIBERIA ee === er fi Gor SIN em a aaa €. “4 LAS sy = - = : Xe r ‘ fg VSN NN } . e782 da SO ance Ug Oy Fn ne = is f —_= o =) roe ay = oye a Pee Sie pe S vane } ‘“O- ss E OK N == wR 0 Dae Certo e nS es anne ee pe Jena se 7 x\ es 7 I n4 BN om Nin Io yey a ea!

But these years that were so full of hope soon passed, to be followed tn their turn by the reaction of 1850, which brought to the Ukrainians of Galicia the most bitter deceptions. The promises made were completely forgotten for the most part, and the Ukrainians of Gallela, after having aided the Austrian government in its combat aguinst the rising of the Polish aristocracy, were left to the unserupulous rule of these same nobles, into whose hands the whole administration of Galicia passed once.again in the year 1850. Thus arose a painful crisis in the national life of the Ukrainians of Galicia, Diastllusions and doubts followed one another, and the way was open for the Russophil current toward which the Polish aristocracy was eagerly driving the Uk- rainfan element. The arrtval of fresh Ukrainian immigration, coming in 1863 to employ their activity on Gali- cian soil, after the suppression of the Ukrainian movement in Russia, cannot, under the circum- stances, be too highly appreciated. At a critical moment this influence brought the necessary aid to the Ukrainian element, chiefly of the younger generation—which had remained faithful to the program of 1848. From about 1880 this “popular” Ukrainian move- ment, as it was called, took a firm hold of the people in Galicia, nor did it fail to keep in touch with the Ukrainian movement in Russia as well. The end of the century was signalized by a rapprochment between the two Ukraines. This had a most happy result for the national life, thanks to the reciprocal control exerted on ‘po- litical questions. From this moment the progress of national cul- ture In Russian Ukraine has made rapid progress, in spite of all attempts made to stop Its course. ‘The stormy years of 1904-1906 brought to the fore the whole question of the Russian reaction- ary powers. The Petrograd academy addressed 4 memorandum to the Russian government prov- ing that the current conception that the Russian literary language (Great Russian) was employed by the whole of Russia, was false, and did not include the Little Russians (Ukrainians). In the most positive manner this memoir affirms the right of existenee to the Ukrainian language and Uterature, In spite of this, the delay brought about in the progress of the language was not immediately dissipated; this only occurred in 1906, when the law concerning newspapers. was repealed, This law did away with all restrictions in respect of special idioms, under which term the Ukrainian language was included. It looked at this period as if the most Joyous future were in store for the Ukrainian movement in Russia. Influenced by the aspirations toward political Uberty shown by their brethren, the Aus- trian Ukrainians also claimed universal suftrage. Galicla was moved by a stronger national im- pulse than it had ever known before. It was hoped that once “occumentcal” Ukraine achieved freedom in Russla, its intellectual and political power would be strong enough to release its sis- ter states from forelgn hegemony. These hopes, however, were not realized. A new reactionary movement disappointed all hopes, and all the promises made to the Russian people in 1905 and 1906 were completely forgotten. This blow was especially hard for Ukrainians. Under the blow of the survival of the old aspir- ations and the disillusions they had received there arose @ party in the Ukralne who wished to attempt once again the fight for the independ. ence of the country, Such hopes which are found 4n the associations of the nationalist youth ut ‘the end of the nineteenth century awoke once again with renewed energy in spite of the tll-luck whieh hed always hitherto pursued them, ERE ria? atti t onl ea bart PirKe a NE a a UKRAINE) ofRUGGLE for SCLE-GOVERNMEN Gy Professor Michaelo Hrushevsky © = © antional Ukrainian life. About the middle of the sixteenth century Ukraintan life had lost much of its strength, ‘The aristocracy, deprived of any participation in politics, was forced to submit to the paramount race (Poles and Lithuanians), while the middle classes were subjected to every kind of vexation. ‘The peasant had lost the right to possess either house or land. He had become a serf. Numer- ous taxes welghed him down till he was a mere accessory of the earth. The Orthodox church, which in those times was the representative of the nation, lad become dependent upon a govern- ment as ill-disposed toward it as to the peasauts, It underwent a crisis which nearly brought about its dissolution. Up to this period Lithuanian Ukraine had progressed slowly, but from the middie of the sixteenth century it progressed more rapidly under the influence of the Polish institutions. Moreover, about 1509, nearly all the districts of Lithuanian Ukraine were taken from its rule and simply annexed to the Polish republic. ‘They were Volhynia, Eastern Podolia, Podlachje (the western Bug district), and KyJever. The Polish aristocracy came in num- bers to reside in {ts new territory, the Ukrainian aristocracy became Influenced by the Poles, and the individual life of the Ukraine ceased to exist. This di¢ not take place without a reaction and a desire for a national renaissance. Having re- gard to the special circumstances in western Ukraine, where the aristocracy in particular had been nearly demolished, one will see that the intellectual and national regeneration could not hope to succeed in the long run. It found sup- Port, however, in a new social and political fac- tor which at this critical moment appeared in eastern Ukraine, that is to say, the Cossacks, The Cossacks did not hesitate to proclaim the immunity from all jurisdiction, all foreign suzer- ainty, all taxes, and all personal service of those who submitted to the power and Jurisdiction of the Zaporogue (Cossack) army, Thus they drew toward them an enormous number of peasants, who at the end of the sixteenth century were leaving western and northern Ukraine for the east in order to escape the heavy burdens of serfdom. Abont 1590 the Cossacks came into conflict with the Polish government, and their Gisngreements grew more serious as time went on. Each struggle inspired fresh energy in the Uk- rainians, till at last prolonged reprisals (1038-47) Jed to n revolution. In 1648 the people rose, led by Bohdan Chmielnitzky. The Polish army was beaten, and the rising spread over the Ukraine, even to the distant re- gions of the west. In spite of the number of in- surgents, who totaled about. 300,000 men at tlie beginning of the war in 1648, their leaders did not consider the liberation of the people possible by the’ means at their disposal. Chmielnitzky hesi- tated between two methods. The one was to create a federation of the orthodox states, Mus- covy, Ukraine, Moldavia, and the Slavs of the Balkans, This alliance would have been directed against Poland and Turkey, Several reasons, and above all the weakness of the Turkish gov- ernment, inclined Chmielnttzky to decide for Mus- covy. For some time Muscovy had not dared to necept the protectorate of the Ukraine. It feared war with Poland and remembered the cruel de- feats which that nation had inflicted at the be- ginning of the seventeenth century. Not till 1653 did Miscovy decide to extend its protection to the Cossack army and to the Ukraine by committing itself to war with Poland. In March, 1654, the treaty was signed bearing the name, “Articles of Bohdan Chmielnitzky;" therein was defined the position of the Ukraine to Muscovy. From the moment the Empress Catherine came to the throne the days of the Ukrainian autonomy were, however, over. In 1772, when Poland was first divided up, west- ern Ukraine, now eastern Galicia, became part of the Hapsburg kingdom in virtue of certain long-stanuing claims of the Hungurian crown to this country. Some years later, Bukowina (the present region), which formerly belonged to Moldavia, was added to it. This passing of western Ukraine into the rule of Austria awoke @ new national fervor in the country. Insignifi- cant as were in reality the reforms brought about, this attitude nevertheless created a deep impres- sion upon the Ukrainian population, which once again enjoyed a sense of natlonality and lost the feeling of despair with which it was stricken during the later years of Polish supremacy. Even after the Austrian government, under the influ- ence of the Polish aristocracy, had characterized its Ukrainian policy by a strongly reactionary feeling, the energy of the national movement was not completely dissipated, On the other hand, the Ukrainian territory which had fallen to the share of Russian rule on the partition of Poland had no cause to look for any reyival of nationalist aspirations. The rigor with which the Polish or Polonized aristocracy ruled the Ukrainian peasantry became now more Luereiless still, supported as the Poles were by the authority of Russia, ‘The longing to see the old constitution restored | ynade itself manifest from time to time, especially Mtyn such occasions as the Russian government sought to recruit the Cossack militia in the Ukraine, - ‘The study of ethnography, and dialects, the re- searches Into the life of the people, the renals- sance of the Ukrainian language and literature, such as we see at the end of the eighteenth cen- tury and especially in the first half of the nine- teenth century, brought ‘together the intellectual classes. ‘Under the Influences of which we have Just, spoken, und thanks to the ideals imported from western Burope, Ukrainian political thought abandoned its aspirations toward an independ- ence that was no longer feasible In order to re- place them by a realizable political program. ee diet ale ot Al kan | ater ceentienie «Andel ‘whet ee Biel abs | way realized dates from 1846. It was started by the Ukrainian organization of Kiev, known as the Guild of Cyril and Methodius, ‘They desired @ democratic and Mberal constitution which would abolish privileges and classes and everything in fact of a nature to debase the people. Absolute freedom of speech, of thought, and of religion was to be guaranteed. Actually all this practical activity was killed at birth, For, in the year 1847 one of the students informed on the leaders and denounced them, with the result that they were arrested and condemned. This repression put a stop to any development of political thought {n the Ukraine, now that the most talented and active leaders were reduced to silenee. When they returned from their exile and assumed their patriotic task, circumstances, such as the sup pression of serfdom in Russia and the ameliora- ton of the lot of the peasantry, compelled them to labor chiefly for the comfort of the peasants. They were occupied in teaching the agricultural classes and in educational work of various kinds as well as in creating a popular literature, ete. In spite of such moderation in thought, the Russlan government regarded this activity with an unfavorable eye, because at the outset It hated any national Ukrainian movement, however mod- erate It might be. Moscow held strongly to the doctrine of “the unity of the Russian people.” Moreover, it regarded as dangerous any desire to establish a separate Ukrainian literature and any endeavor to awaken national feeling in this unfortunate race. For these several reasons then, the activities of the Ukrainians of Kiev were sup- pressed, no matter how modest or how politically innocent they might be, Any establishments or organizations where Ukrainian scentific workers congregated were forbidden, and in the spring of 1876 the celebrated ukase appeared determining the fate of the movement for many years. This ukase forbade the publishing in Ukrainian of any ‘work other than those of a historical or lt erary nature, ‘The Ukrainian movement, however, was not to be extinguished by such coercive measures, ‘The edueated classes of the Ukraine fought Inces- santly in Russia for the national movement from 1880 to 1900, and endeavored to turn to their own advantages any possibilities which offered them- selves, When the movement became no longer possible in Russa, it sought an outlet beyond the frontier in the territory of Austrian Ukraine. ‘The exodus of the Ukrainians or the di- yergence of the national activity toward Austrian Ukraine, toward Lemberg, which became a cen- ter for the national life, was weighty with results not only for the Ukrainian movement in Russia, but also for the development of Austrian Ukraine Itself, Already, about the year 1860, after the first prohibition of the Ukrainian language in Russia, this event had contributed to the sus- tenance of the Ukrainian national life in Austria ‘at a very critical moment in the aevelopment of this section of the subject people. After the movement had gradually grown weaker in the sec- ond quarter of the nineteenth century, under the Pressure of the general reactionary movement in Galicla, the year 1848 poured a refreshing breath over the Ukrainians of Austria, The Austrian government sought in the Ukrainian population something to set off against the Polish revolu- tionary ‘movement. ‘The final liberation of the serfs, the admission of the moral and political rights of the Ukrainian people (or Ruthenians), the creation of the first institution of any import- ance in the domain of culture and polities, the nationalization of the schools, the formal promise of a university for Lemberg, the administrative separation of the two Galicias (Ukrainian and Polish), which had been artificially united in ‘1772: all these tofluences assisted the birth of a UKRAINE, Lando/ Promise eo KRAINE, the part of Russia which has set up an indepen- dent government and made a separate peace with the cen- tral powers, is a country rich in natur- al resources that need only systematic development. Ukraine covers 850,000 square kilo- meters, an area greater than that of France and only a little less than that of Italy, Spain and Portugal together, George Raffulovich, a Ukrainian by birth and an authoritative historian, writes in the New York Sun. ‘Taking the figures usually given by European writers of repute, there are today 29,000,000 Ukrainians in the southwestern provinces of Russia, be tween 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 in SI: beria, where they have, especially in the Amur region, extensive settle ments; 3,500,000 in Eastern Gallcta, 40,000 in northern Bukowina, and per haps 500,000 in northern Hungary on the southern slopes of the Carpathlar mountains, ‘The bulk of the Ukrainians consists therefore, of those in Ukrainian Rus eee ee AF Gx eS eal) LS 1 eal oo Se eens \ aol Ee i \ i SS H ‘a ee oe Ee er eG [ea te SEN at Fes ment ~ | ON aoe Sie ny tii Sah Sahih ae ley: sil seat a a &R ba a Views of Kharkov and Ekaterinoslav. ala, in Galicia and in Bukowina, for they inhabit the compact territory which {s only artifically—or shall we say politically?—divided between Rus- sia, Austria and Hungary. Leaving out the Rusniaks, or Ukrainians of Hun- gary, who express no desire to work politically with the other members of thelr nation, and who insist, even in America, upon soctetles of their own, we have a population of over 83,000,000 stretched between the Caucasus, the Black sea, the Carpathian mountains and the San river. The Ukrainian Governments, ‘The purely Ukrainian governments of Russia are: 1. Ukraine of the right bank (of the Dnieper), Podolia, Volhynia, Klef and Kholm. 2. Ukraine of the left bank (of the Dnieper), ‘Tehernihov, Poltava, Khar- koy, southwest Khursk, Voronezh and the region of the Don Cossacks to the Sea of Azov. 8.

In all these districts the Ukrainians form from 76 to 99 per cent of the total population, the rest being Jews, Poles and, lastly, Russians, ‘The Rurik dynasty founded Ukraine. ‘When it disappeared, as all monarchies must, the next organization that kept the Ukraine lahds together was the re- public of the Cossacks, whose domain overlapped Lithuanta and Poland, who occupied much of the Ukraine soll, ‘Phe Cossacks were organized some- thing on the lines of the chivalry of western Europe. Their precepts were Shediance, piety, shastity. and equal- ty. ‘The assembly was the only authority ‘they recognized. The hetman (head- man) was elected by and was respon- oe sig my 4 a he > eal A i \ Aue Re MO Sane oe sible to the assembly for his actions. If he offended he was incontinently de- prived of his office. ‘The assembly, called radi, was pe riodical and comprised representatives: of all classes of the community, who often criticized freely the policy of the hetman, In the interval between radas the hetman ruled the country by a se- ries of decrees. When any section of the Ukrainian community was dissatis- fied with the person or the policy of the hetman {t was entitled to call to- gether a rada, which in such cases was called a black rada, If the black rada happened to be representative enough, and the complaint met with the ap- proval of the majority, the hetman might be compelled to resign. While the Muscovites lived under an absolute monarchy, while the Poles were ruled by a haughty and exclusive aristocracy, in Ukraine all were free un- der the Lithuanian kings, and repub- lean institutions were gradvally tak- ing root. Many people would leave the surrounding country and go to set- tle in Ukraine, Such names preserved in the Ukraine as O'Brien and O'Rourke tend to prove that people came from much farther to settle ip the happy land. | Great Cereal Country. ‘The famous black soll of Ukraine covers three-quarters of the country. To the north as well as in the Carpa- thlan mountains are some 110,000 square kilometers of forest. ‘The agri- cultural soil covers 53 per cent of the aggregate territory of Ukraine and 82 per cent, If we take In the whole of European Russia, which is, however, six times greater than Ukraine itself. ‘The annual production of cereals in Ukraine fs two-thirds of the whole pro- duction in the recent Russtan empire It is greater than that of Germany or France. The exportation of grains from Ukraine amounts to 27 per cent of the production, and of all the wheat exported from Russia nine-tenths comes from Ukrainian lands, As & matter of fact, the trade of Ukraine 1s more developed than that of any part of all Russia, Ukraine ranks highest among all the countries that compose the, vast Rus- sian empire as to the annual agricul: tural production. Wheat, barley and Tye are the staple crops of Russian ag- ‘riculture, and the annual production in Ukraine of these grains amounts to one-third of Russla’s output. As to other farm products, Ukraine's position is also conspicuous. Beet root, for instance, is especially cultivated in the Ukrainian provinces of Podolia, Volhynia, Kieff and Kher- son; those provinces together yield five-sixths of the sugar beet produc- tion of all Russia, Ukraine produces almost all the tobacco of the old em- pire, and she has the largest and finest orchards and vineyards of Russia, The immense natural resources of Ukraine furnish splendid opportunity for the development of manufacturing industries. As a matter of fact, 62 per cent of Russia's annual production of pig iron and 58 per cent of Russia's production of steel come from Ukraine, Something for Which Too Few Hubbies Give Her Credit. But Really, When You Look at the Matter Closely, the Proper Con- ducting of a Home Requires Some Thought. Many a business man goes home in the evening, removes his coat, sink# into an easy chair and breathes a deep sigh of relief, When asked why his brow is furrowed he responds that he has had a terrible day, Perhaps he had letters to dictate. He had to con- fer with his associates and he had to talk to some customers. He spent an hour or more at lunch and he quit about five o'clock. He had a busy day and when home ts reached he feels that he is entitled to some rest and quiet. Such a man rarely thinks of his wife ks a manager, remarks the Indianapolls News. He does not recall that she may have been up before him. He for- gets that she planned the breakfast— and, in many instances, cooked it as well. After breukfast is finished there are dishes to he washed and the kiteh- en must be put to rights, Perhaps that 1s a general cleaning day for the whole house; and there always is dust to chase as well as dirt to sweep out or take up in the new-fangled cleaner ‘The beds have to be made and a score of other household duties need atten- tion, If there are children they de- mand this, that and the other. If there 4s a little baby in the house it must be bathed and put to sleep for its morn- ing nap. Then there is a noon meal to get, as well as various other Ittle things constantly coming up. ‘The aft- ernoon will be spent in many ways. A great many women spend it in work, ‘They order groceries and they order meat. They buy the household sup- plies, and the good housekeeper keeps fn accurate account of her expendi- tures. ‘Toward evening she has to plan the dinner and when the children come home she must look after them. Later, she has the Job of putting them to bed. Meanwhile she has had time, very Itke- ly, to rend a magazine, to knit a little for some soldier or to play the piano. She may have found time to go shop- ping or to make a few calls. She makes no particular complaint about the routine she has gone through because she does it every day. ‘Thousands of women show more ex: ecutive ability in running their own homes than their husbands show fr Tunning their business.

Catching the quartermaster, he lung to the half drowned man until the two were hauled aboard, Not only was the act of Marcio’s one of great heroism, but the test of his courage was shown in the chance he took with such a rough sea, ‘The gale at the time was one of the worst In years and the ship was rolling at fifty-five degrees, This young hero enlisted in the navy im April, 1914, at Philadelphia. a Ni al Nowadays they pick out the cow- ards before instead of after the battle, says a member of the medical staff at Funston.

PRESIDENT RECEIVES A. M. E. DELEGATION. Made Strong Protest Against Lynch- ing and Jim Crowism. Washington, D. C., March 14, 1918.—"Words urging Patriotic Duties upon the Negroes while they are lynched and jim crewed has the appearance of insincerity" was a sentiment expressed to President Woodrow Wilson by a Commission appointed by the Bishops' Council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to make representation against discrimination against the Negroes of this country. The appointment with the President was arranged by Prof. John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church. The Commission was headed by Bishop W. D. Chappelle of South Carolina. The other members of the committee were Prof. John R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C.; Dr. W. T. Vernon of Tenn.; Dr. W. H. H. Butler of Pennsylvania; Dr. J. G. Robinson of Tenn.; Dr. A. H. Hill of Ark, and Dr. A. L. Galnes of Baltimore. Bishop Chappelle made the representations to the President and left with him a written document setting forth the views of the commission. The response of the President, though guarded, was very gratifying. The sentiment of the commission follows: Washington, D. C., March 14, 1918. Hon. Woodrow Wilson. President of the United States. Mr. President: Sir: We the undersigned citizens of the United States and representatives of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, appointed by the Bishops' Council of said church, which met at Louisville, Ky., February 14, 1918, beg to submit to you the following memorial or prayer: With a due sense of appreciation of the firest struggle in which we are now engaged and the arduous task laid upon you as Chief Magistrate of our country, pledge to you our fidelity as loyal citizens of our Republic. These are trying times and we are passing through ordeals that try men's souls, and now more than ever before our people need hope and encouragement. We believe you have read with deep regret of the inhuman and unlawful treatment of our people in many sections of the country; and we come praying you for relief from mob violence and other discriminations which are so prevalent. We do not condone crime committed by any people; nor are we asking that you wink at crime committed by any people; that each and every individual be given a fair, impartial trial by a jury of twelve men of their fellow citizens. Since Congress has given you, as President, power to conscript citizens from and within all the states of the Union, to fight for the common cause of human liberty, and for protection of this country, we believe that it is equally within the power of Congress to authorize you to enter any state in this Union with said power to protect the life and liberty of the citizens therein. Believing this as we do, we ask, first: That lynching be made a federal offense; second, we ask that in all cases of lynching and mob violence where citizens are, guilty of participating in the same they shall be punished by law and declared ineligible to hold office in our government, either federal or state; third, we ask that any sheriff allowing his prisoner to be lynched or malmed while in his custody be declared unfit for that high office and at once removed by the Governor. Mr. President, we make this appeal to you because your people have always been loyal to this government and are still loyal and faithful in this the most trying time of its history. We are in the midst of a great world wide war which will take, as we see it, the united efforts of all the people to gain victory, and to secure this we must find a way to suppress mob violence and lynching. To tell us that we are fighting for world democracy and that this is a form of that democracy for which we are to fight and for which many of our boys are already on the field of battle, is not to say the least very encouraging. The Negroes of this country have rallied to your call in this crisisland are doing their bit according to their ability from every viewpoint. No people have followed so uncomplainingly as have our people and we are beginning to realize now that we are a part of this government which we have served so faithfully both in war and in peace. Thus we come asking our government through its executive to protect us in the pursuits of life, liberty and happiness. Mr. President, our treatment upon the railroads of this country is unfair, unjust, degrading and un-Christian and we ask that something be done to change such conditions and make them such as will guarantee to us peace and comfort while traveling in the discharge of our several duties. In the face of such treatment we are being told now that we are fighting for a common cause—freedom. We compare what is told us with what is being done to us; it must of necessity create a suspicion as to the sincerity of some of those who sneak to us. If these difficulties are removed, then you make it easier for the leaders of our people to control them as patriots; and, too, to advise and direct their activities in such movements as the purchase of Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps and the cheerful enlistment in the United States Army and Navy. Mr. President, we can ask no less and be men. So in the interest of all that is righteous, of all that is just, and of all that is in keeping with true democracy, of which you are the exponent, we beg you to act. (Signed) W. D.

Enough diamonds are sacrificed each year in the average automobile factory to fit up a dozen kings' crowns! Quantity production of automobiles requires that every one of the 10,000 parts turned out by machinery must measure up to a high standard. Only then will the parts of the assembled automobile work together smoothly. The emery wheels, used for rapid finishing, must be "trued up" with corresponding accuracy. Nothing less hard than the diamond can be depended upon for this "truing."—Popular Science Monthly. Not to Be Overlooked. Robert had been much admired and petted by everybody, so naturally when the little sister came his nose was out of joint. Everyone who came to the house wanted to see the baby. Soon he began to understand that in order to receive petting one must be a baby. One day a woman called, and as usual asked to see the baby, and began the usual petting. Robert walked up to the visitor and with tremulous lip sald: "I am the old baby." The ruse worked and he was immediately given the desired petting.
