LOVE'S THE POST AND The Just and Progressive Stand tative Daily and Its Brilliant a Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, Wins ment of Not Only the 50,0 Two Kansas Cities but DR. JENKINS A SECOND ROO AND FAIR H A Symposium From Representative Neg in Commendation of His S The stand which Dr. Burris Jenkins, the new Editor of the Post, has taken regarding a question of vital interest not only to the fifty thousand of our people in this city, but also of moment to the twelve millions of Negroes scattered throughout this country, is deserving of no little comment. The willingness with which he complied with the request of some of our influential citizens that the word "Negro" (heretofore begun with a small "n") be capitalized in all his publications shows that he is a man who dares to do all that may become a man. In capitalizing the word "Negro," by which twelve millions of our most loyal, law abiding, generous hearted, and forgiving citizens of the United States are designated, Dr. Jenkins takes rank with the few who are willing, in the face of scathing criticism, to hold the Negro up before the world as a people who have an origin, as a MRS. MAGGIE WASHINGTON The premier agent of The Sun, who is selling more than two hundred and fifty copies every Saturday. Others should imitate her. people who are the equals of the Caucasian, the Mongolian, the Malay, and the Indian. By this change, the Negro is raised from a position of contempt, a position of abasement, to one of honor and respect in the eyes of a reading public. In short, it places him on equal footing with men who compose the various groups of humanity which go to make up the entire civilized universe. We hall Dr. Jenkins as one of the few men born and reared in America who has not imbibed any of the unworthy characteristics, such as race-hatred, prejudice, narrowness of soul, cowardice and fear, which have sounded the death knell of so many who would have been considered truly great, but were unwilling to pay the price, and so, were wrecked on the shoals of "public opinion." We regard him as a timely successor to one who let a wonderful opportunity for rendering real service to his fellow men pass by. We shall expect great things of Dr. Jenkins in the future, for he is truly the right man in the right place. MRS. J. R. WILLIAMS, 2418 Vine Street. Editor Kansas City Sun: Kansas City is honored, the Kansas City Post is honored and the Negroes of Kansas City are honored in that Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, a man of such splendid personality and character and with a desire to treat all human beings the same, has become the editor and publisher of one of our leading dailies. The recent example of his fairness, capitalizing the word Negro in his col- The Kansas City Sun umns, is just one more expression from a real man, who locally stands in the foremost rank and who is destined to become a national character. The Negroes of this community, in one accord, wish Dr. Jenkins God-speed and multiplied success. HOWARD M. SMITH. Hon. N. C. Crews, Editor Kansas City Sun, Kansas City, Mo. My Dear Mr. Crews—Through the columns of your paper I wish to commend the editor of the Post, Dr. Burh his Jenkins, with great praise for substituting the capital "N" in the use of the word Negro. It's a great thing. I know you have been reading the "Nubbins" column in the Post. Are they not wholesome? Do they not inspire food for thought? Don't they have a sort of a ring to them that makes your blood move with a push, and you catch yourself rising up with an emotion, and then you think of the man behind the pen whom you know has a heart that beats true American blue to the time of "My Country, Tis of Thee?" Isn't it great to hear something different from the old order of things, that has a little twang, that's permeated with the spirit of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, someting that's such a luxury? Then you proclaim in terms of the great apostle Peter at the Transfiguration when he said, "My Lord, it is good for us to be here." This Mr. Crews is a modest interpretation of how we feel about J. Burris Jenkins whose messages come to us with a ring. Say, isn't he grand? Very cordially yours. WM. J. THOMPKINS, M. D. Supt. Old City Hospital Kansas City Sun: It took a man, Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, to make the word "Negro" look respectable in print. Every Negro in Kansas City has been made to feel proud of this change. It takes men of red blood to go contra to custom and rise above the prejudice of the day. This was one of the characteristics of Col. Roosevelt that forced men to respect him. In Dr. Jenkins all the people of Kansas City have a friend. He is indeed a man with a heart and a friend to the lowly. He believes in the doctrine that "If you do it to the least of these, my little ones, you do it unto me"; so we are all pulling for Dr. Jenkins and the Kansas City Post." Editor of the Kansas City Sun: Thanks many times for the wonderful service which you rendered our race by asking Rev. Burris A. Jenkins to capitalize the "N" in Negro. I consider it a victory and gives us hope that more of the indignities which try our souls will be wiped out, especially if more malr-minded citizens like Dr. Jenkins knew our hopes, ideas and aspirations and if more of us would let them know as you did just how we feel. Sincerely. HOWARD M. SMITH, M. D. To the Editor of The Kansas City Sun. Dear Sir: I desire to commend you most highly for those remarks in your speech delivered on January 25th, in which you reminded the Editor of the Kansas City Post, Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, that in justice to our race the word Negro, wherever appearing in our great dailies, should be printed with the letter "N" capitalized. And it is KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1919. HON. A. L. THOMAS. The above is an excellent likeness of one of Missouri's representative Negro citizens who has been recently appointed to a responsible position in the legislature now in session. Mr Thomas is not only a leader in politics but is prominent in Masonry, being a member of the Grand Lodge of Missouri and Deputy Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter and is the official Mail Carrier for the 50th General Assembly of the House of Representatives, this heing his second appointment to this responsible position. REPORT OF CLIPPERS CHARITY DANCE One of the very best reasons for believing that the attitude of the Kansas City Post will be more favorable to the Negro in the days to come is the promise of Dr. Jenkins that this paper will in future capitalize the word Negro A step nearer to democracy. F. A. HARRIS, Sec'y Paseo Y. M. C. A DR. JENKINS A MAN DR. JENKINS A MAN. "One of the many and most persistent insults aimed at our people by American journalist has been in the use of the small "n" in spelling the word Negro. Editor Burris Jenkins is evidencing real courage when he thus takes a stand against the all but crystalized opinion of his own race. JOE E. HERRIFORD. "Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again." The eternal years of God are hers." And so through the long, dark, dreary days of slavery, distranchise-ment, segregation, lynching for pastime, aye burning at the stake. The character of the American Negro has risen steadily to recognition by that great judge of the world, Public Opinion.. Yes, denied the right to claim possession of a soul, classed with the lower animals, held up to the world as a brute, subjected to public derision and scorn, crushed by intense race hatred, yet and at last the American Negro by the evidence of his character has justified the faith in his work held by his few friends and is beginning to compel the greater part of the American people to see that he is a human being like Shakespeare's Jew, and no better nor worse than the civilization he is in contact with. And then when this Nation called her sons to win the victory for the world's Democracy, the (Continued on Page 4.) Dr. R. R. Moton's Mission Abroad. WHAT THREE WELL KNOWN AFRO-AMERICAN WRITERS THINK OF IT. What He Went for Made Clear at Last —The South Fears Our Returning Overseas Soldiers Will Not Meekly Submit to Its Outrageous Insults, Humiliation, Segregation, Etc. Editor N. Y. Globe: I wish to enter a protest against the action of Dr. Moton, who is now in France at the instance of the administration to advise the Negro troops over there to behave themselves like gentlemen and thus leave a good impression upon the people of France. Dr. Moton will find that this part of his mission to France is unnecessary. The Negroes in the Army in France have given their commander no cause for complaint on this score. The French people and French newspapers have spoken in high praise of their conduct. It is a gratuitous insult to the character of these men to send Dr. Moton or any other Negro to France to teach them good morals. Dr. Moton is quoted as saying that the Africans are incapable of self-government. If he means the Africans in Africa, along the gold coast, the west coast, Basutoland, Barotse land, etc. I can tell him that he is grossly mistaken, and that he is libelling the character of these intelligent blacks who have for years demonstrated their ability for self-government along native lines. Dr. Moton is hardly the man to pass judgment on the capacity of the African blacks for self-government. He does not know any more about Africa and the Africans, nor as much, as the American delegates who are relying on him to advise them on this subject. JOHN E. BRUCE. Dr. Byrd Wields the "Big Stick!" Dr. Byrd Wields the "Big Stick!" The above clipping speaks for itself. However, it presents to the thinking Negrd wold a serious situation. Major Moton is over in France at the instance of the Wilson administration. He was chosen to go because he accepts the attitude of the South, toward the Negro in this country and is willing to be used to help keep the spirit of cringing alive in the breast of colored people everywhere. As a tool in the hands of the present administration Major Moton, by reason of his connection with Tuskegee school as the successor to the late Booker T. Washington, demands audience wherever he speaks and what he says carries weight with it. America's attitude toward the black people, as shown by the present administration, is causing concern in France. The denunciation by the administration of lynching and lynchers was a sop for foreign consumption during the war and a "lip phrase" to soothe colored people. Beyond this denunciation, nothing has been done. Before the brutal horde of Southern barbarians, constituents of the present administration and the backbone of the Democratic party, this pronunciation was nothing more than words. Lynching of colored people took on renewed activity. Major Moton lives in Alabama, where they do not allow his wife, so said with his approval, to ride in a Pullman car. Major Moton prefers to bow to Southern viciousness and brutality rather than take his stand with liberty loving people and denounce the fiends for their humanity. He is a very dangerous man in France at this time so far as the cause of Negro liberty everywhere is concerned. His obtruding himself and his advice upon soldiers, the pick of the American army abroad, is an insult as well as a crime against democracy. Moton, as a man, may represent his Southern bosses, but he does not represent the black soldier nor the black patriot anywhere. Any attempt on his part to give color to the position the South holds now in seeking to have France treat Negroes as does the South will be resented here with vengeance. Trucklers to Southern lawlessness, as shown in its attitude toward Negroes, will be driven out of business. The black people of this country do not approve of the treatment accorded them by the present administration. We resent most emphatically the assinine discrimination shown our boys in the war. We rebel against the assumption of superiority on the part of bloodthirsty Southerners, who enforce this "superiority" by acts the like only canbals of heathenism show. We spurn their sically talk about black "mammys," and while doing so, planning to assassinate "mammy's" sons and daughters. We have nothing but contempt for a people who will use the courts and law of the land to deny the most loyal and frugal portion of America's citizenry their constitutionality. We have no confidence in America's democracy as represented by the present administration. We are sick at heart and tire of hearing about "self-determination of all peoples in matters of government" while in America, more than nine millions of people are denied their right to even live decently. We look with disgust upon a people that forces a race to be ignorant by denying it civilizing influences and then use their refusal to permit them a part in government. Under the conditions named above, Major Moton lives and runs a school that is destroying the real manhood of the American Negro. His label against Africa is in keeping with his betrayal of Negro America. Moton cannot lead in America, and in France he is misrepresenting the black race everywhere—according to the Associated Fress.—"(Rev.)" William A. Byrd.—Cleveland Gazette.

The War Industry Board of the United States Government has issued a new order affecting the weekly papers and we wish to direct the attention of our subscribers to the following section of that order which says: "No publications may continue subscriptions after date of expiration, paid for." It will be seen from the above that unless subscriptions are renewed and it is now mandatory to discontinue all subscriptions and to drop all names from the mailing galleys whenever the time is out, unless the money for the year in advance is in the office.

American Negro willingly responded to the call and with his brethren from historic Africa and from the coral isles of the sea achieved renown on the bat Ue fields of Europe and compelled the placing of his race in the honor class, also. No man is noble and superior whe denies to his fellowmen merited jus: tice, and so all honor to the nobility of the mind of Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, the eminent editor of the Kansas City Post, who has the courage to acknowl edge and do the right by capitalizing the Negro as a race with other races Character is not qualified by color but by quality, J. A. WILSON. Jeweler. (oD ENO PRU R | res Kansas Citians are willing to accept the dictnm that “The index of a City’s freatness ts the kind of a man she rroduces, who has recently become editor and publisher of the Kansas City Post. If the New World Order is to bring to saved communities, we must firet of all have saved newspapers with saved editors and publishers be- hind them, We think we are gov- erned by legislatures and congresses, by courts and by laws, but we are more ‘really governed by our newspapers, whe make public opinion. In the New Werld Order Democracy will be the rute and justice. There will be no su- perior and inferior nations or races; and all peoples will be recognized as Laving certain rights and common ob: lgations, Dr, Jenkins has declared, “if it is |right to capitalize the word Anglo- Saxon, it is also right to capitalize the word Negro. It is a big step towards |that Democracy for which our boy: |fought and died, and the Negroes o! this city should show their apprecia tion of this courageous leader of all the people, by making the Kansas City Post a dally visitor to our homes WM. THOMAS, Minister at Allen Chapel. To the Editor of the Kansas City Stun. Kansas City, Mo. My Dear Mr. Crews: I desire to join with those who have already commended you for the splen- did victory you have achieved in hay: ing Doctor Burris Jenkins capitalize the “N” whenever the word Negro is used in the Kansas City Post, In deed, it is one of the victories growing ont of the war for Democracy; for It is the outward and visible sign of the eternal fact that Negroes are men and ‘women, and I mean free men and equal citizens in every sense of the word. He has proved his Christianity in the sight of all men. And now, let every loyal Negro see that the head of his house subscribe both to the Post and to the Sun. With best wishes, Yours faithfully, HARRY ELLSWORTH RHAMING, Rector Dear Editor: In the opinion of a very large num: ber of our people, there is an organ: ized propaganda of prejudice, race. hatred, discrimination and intimida. tion, So thoroughly and effective is the effort that the public press of this country is indeed slow to recognize our merits, commend our virtues, or even cheer us in our most lofty aims for racial betterment and uplift. Apparentiy for the last several months there has been a change of front of a large number of our dailies and weeklies in their attitude toward us—especially is this true since the re- markable showing of loyalty and patri. otism as evidenced by us in the recent national crisis, Things in print are only visible expressions of what exists in 4 map’s mind, What we see in pa |pers usually has endorsement of the editors, | With an imaginary view we cannot ‘see the Kansas City Post and appre clate its attitude without viewing that stalwart and most excellent citizen, Dr. Burris A, Jenkins. He has the courage of his convictions and at al ‘times you may only expect from him those expressions that are fair, honest and just and those calculated to bring all the good men of both races in closer relation for the common good. Respectfully, J. E. PERRY, Kansas City, Missouri. It is indeed a source of very great pleasure to me to refer to the attitude of Hon. Burris A. Jenkins, editor of the Kansas City Post, in appealing to the mind of men, to accept his position ‘on the tise of the word “Negro” when referring to one class of citizens in this great commonwealth, where the truest and broadest principles of Christianity and the fairest principles of democracy are supposed to exist. If unfairness of racial prejudice is encouraged or in dulged in by a people to carry out a small thing, no one knows to what ex. tent it may augment itself. I agree with Mr, Jenkins that in the sense this word is used by some, it is in- tended to humiliate and degrade peo: ple who happen to be of that race. We therefore commend the brave and courageous editor of the Post for his manly stand, DORSEY GREEN, Mr. N.C. Crews, Editor of the Kansas City Sun, Dear Sir: At the last meeting of the Kansas City, Mo., branch N. A. A.C. P., it was rightly moved, seconded and passed that the grateful appreciation of this organization be tendered you, for the suggesting to the editor of the Kansas City Post, the capitalization of the word “Negro.” Your most timely and excellent sug gestion having been adopted, this or: ganization commends your thoughtful: ness and extends to you its heartfelt thanks for the same, with very great pleasure, For the Kansas City, Mo., Branch, NAACP. NO JIM CROW TRENCHES IN FRANCE, (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) To the Editor: Most of the states compel by law the colored peo- ple to ride in what are called Jim Crow cars, ‘The name itself is an insult; the law is an outrage upon the rights of American citizens. Some thoughtiess white people see nothing wrong in this segregation of those people on railroads and trolley cars; but this Is what a number of the proscribed race have to say of it: “Jim Crowism is worse than mob violence. It kills the soul as well as the body. It works, not for one mad hour, but for twenty-four hours in every day. Its years’ toll of victims {s not three-score, but millions. It is not sudden death—it is worse; it is perpetual torture. ‘Jim Crowism’ with public dishonor is the real monster. Mob violence is only one of its mani festations. Inequality of citizenship is the real monster.” A fine old colored man of Ambler, whom I knew well, was Danlel Dow: ling of Butler avenue, commissioner of highways of the borough. One of his boys, an educated young man, was conscripted and taken to France to help make the world safe for democ- racy, He did his part bravely and without flinching. ‘There were no Jim Crow trenches over there; they were all alike, all equally uncomfortable and unsafe, The boy's name is Charles Ralph Dowling. He writes his experience in the Battle of Verdun and in the Ar. gonne sector, He says: “I was in a seventy-two-hour drive, starting on September 27 and lasting until Octo: ber 1, It was here we had our first whiff of poisonous gas. In the trenches we had to stand in water to us knees, and it rained most of the time we were there. We went through wire entanglements and across No Man's Land to the great struggle of the war. The Huns had |themselves well entrenched with ma: [chine guns and snipers, and they put |up strong resistance, We had an ob- jective to reach and we pushed on, jand after going through wire, woods jand brush and the hardest kind of |fisheing we not only reached our point, but went a couple of miles fur ther. After this we certainly had the boche on the run, and from then on he got no rest, 1 had my gun shot out of my hand and I received a flesh wound and another bullet went through my gas mask, cutting the hose.” Charles Ralph Dowling will not be subject to the indignity of the Jim Crom in Ambler nor in Philadelphia, but 100,000 members of his race, |whose homes are in the South, who |went through similar experience on |tke Western front, will, when they |retum, even before being mustered Jout, have to endure such humiliating | experience. | I wish our white people everywher: }|would think, and think straight, ir ‘the terms of justice of race discrim ‘| ination. || While trying to make the world saf . for democracy, we should insist tha ‘democracy de made safe for th + world.

Too bad, too bad. —That chickens come home to roost but some men haven't got that much sense. They just roost wherever they get a chance. —That a lady walked into a lawyer's office and asked him to file a petition for her to get a divorce from her husband. The lawyer looked her over and said: "Now, Madam, on what grounds, may I enter this suit? You know you took this man for better or worse." "Well," said the abused wife, "I found him so much worse than I thought he'd be that I must get rid of him." That a certain discharged soldier hurried up to his home the other day without notifying his wife and not seeing her, he walked into the bed room.

He went and heard her relate her domestic affairs in tears and he consolingly took one of her hands in one of his hands and stroked her hair with the other and just then in walked hubby and so infuriated did he become that he did not stop to ask the cause of their respective positions, but immediately screamed "War is declared right here; I knew I was left on this side of the ocean for something and here's my chance to do my bit." The pastor neither opened the door nor the window, but the glass panel in the door is missing. That a man died suddenly the other day and it was necessary that the coroner be called.

APPRECIATION. By Mrs. W. T. Osborne. Dear Editor: Please allow us space in your valuable paper to say that we are very grateful and appreciative of the many words of praise and congratulations for the part we played in the great 300th Anniversary of the Landing of the First Negroes in America at Convention Hall, January 29th. While the time was indeed too short to justly present a demonstration commendable to the Negro after so long a time, yet having been given full latitude by the committee, with Prof. T. B. Steward as spokesman, we got together the women of the different churches, Federated and City Clubs, professional men and laymen of the two Kansas Citys and Kansas City's broadest race man and educator, Prof. J. R. E. Lee, and a number of his faculty, presented them cur minute plan upon which they passed and pronounced as good; nor did they cease to loan aid in every way until "Liberty," the most impressive and of great significance, the last float of the parade, made its exit, and it is those women and those men with whom I desire to share the smothering congratulations. Too much cannot be said of the racial demonstration made by the Shriners in full uniform, who looked the part of noblemen, and while seating conditions were very much unsatisfactory, as per understanding, as caused much humiliation, yet these noblemen, because of the occasion, accepted the conditions with their presence of more than one hundred fifty, including the Daughters of Isis, and remained throughout the program, and in like manner did the Patriarchs, a well drilled, intelligent body of men, wearing a full regalia that was in itself beautiful. The Knights of Friendship, in beautiful, attractive dress, with a step that proved they were a drill team of noted reputation, followed by Queen Beatrice Temple No. $2, held up the banner of the U. B. F.'s and M. S. T.'s, lead by the greatest band in the west, the Knights of Pythias, and the K. P. Band, followed by the B. L. I. P. N. of America, headed a pageant that showed marked progress for the race. Special mention should be given the gro Constitutional League of America, W. C. T. U., Reconstruction and the Hospital demonstrations. Just a few weeks ago, comparatively speaking Negrc Red Cross Nurses were unknown; the same can be said of the skilled nurses and doctors of the Old City Hospital and Douglass Hospital, as was shown in the pageant. These floats were cheered by Major N. Clark Smith and his High School Cadet Band in uniform. Negro Boy Scouts was an interesting feature both in the parade and the exhibit. The Woman's Self Improvement Club, Atheneaum, Poro, InterCity Lawyers' Club, Bethel and Second Baptist Churches were among those who presented the historical display. We wish for space to mention every individual who shared in this grea texhib and pageant, but it is impossible, hence we thank and praise all collectively. Special mention, however, should be made of Mrs. Alice Mason, who not only took charge of the Federated Club exhibit, but was with us in every effort suggesting and aid in every way she possibly could. Also Mme. Ida M. Beckes, Mesdames Lutie Bessie Mason and Anna Williams. They worked hard and their interesting exhibits justified their labors. Special mention could be given the two very large and most beautiful and perfect individual needle work by Mrs. Minnie Adams and Mrs. Robinson. The unsurpassed exhibits from Western University, Lincoln Institute, Lincoln High School, Attucks, Douglass, W. W. Yates and Garrison schools. The First A. M. E. Church Kansas City, Kas.; Second Christian Church, Church, A. M. E., Allen Chapel, St. John A. M. E., and Bethel Mr. Wilson, the jeweler, and all of the individual and business enterprises, which were many, were on display. Mme. Blanche Page, Kansas City's most successful Beauty Parlor operator, demonstrated during the day. The Improvement Board and United-We-Stand Clubs of Ebenezer agreeably surprised the committee by filling their booths with eatables which ran out far too quickly, al though they had a large supply. To all these individuals and organizations do we owe many words of praises and congratulations and we personally thank you for your hearty co-operation. My life is one of service. If at any time I can in turn serve any of you individually or collectively, call upon me. Yours for "lifting as we climb." MRS. W. T. OSBORNE. THE LAST WORD IN CARS.

Little Phone, First 2013 CELEBRATE DAY OF LINCOLN'S BIRTH CELEBRATE DAY OF LINCOLN'S BIRTH Great Emancipator Said "Get Ready and the Chance Will Come." Today U. S. Treasury Offers Chance of Emancipation From Debt Through Government Securities. EMANCIPATION THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL FROM THE BRONZE STATUETTE GROUP BY THOMAS BALL. "And upon this act I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God." W. M. DUNSON DECORATOR, PAINTER and FINISHER 2122 Vine Street Work Guaranteed Home Phone, East 4011 Abraham Lincoln, whose clear understanding of right and wrong, whose great qualities of heart and mind and character finally succeeded in liberating an entire race, was born just 110 years ago, February 12, 1806, in a rough log cabin in the undeveloped farmland of Kentucky. The commemoration of his birthday will this year, as in every other, be marked especially by the recollection of the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave us our freedom. In Lincoln's own words, this emancipation from slavery meant for the Negro "the right to eat the bread, without the leave of anybody else, which his own hand earns." * * * This was 56 years ago. Today, by summons from the Federal Government, amounting almost to a proclamation, the right is urged upon us not only to eat the bread we earn, but steadily to set aside a part of it so that eventually we may achieve our emancipation from economic dependence. Money invested in government securities—War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds—is the key which will unlock for us financial liberty. Out of the fund they create we can get homes, comforts, education, advancement and recreation. As Lincoln said: "The hired laborer of yesterday labors on his own account today and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow." Not mere labor alone is necessary. To be ready to use an opportunity the products of one's labor must be accumulated. Again, as Lincoln said: "Get ready, and the chance will come." There is another reason, a still better one than that of personal profits, why we should make every effort to save and invest in Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Money loaned in this way to the government—to give us a share in that for which Lincoln gave his life—will help to pay off the enormous costs of the war for which many Negroes have given their lives. They gave themselves gladly. They have made a wonderful, never-to-be-forgotten record of patriotism and bravery in the war. Unless we do our full part, which, after all, is extremely small compared to what they who shall never return have done, we shall have broken faith with them and tarnished the splendid shield of patriotism which they burnished so brightly. Can anyone imagine Lincoln, who devoted all his time, energy and talents to the cause of his fellow humans, fall his brothers in such a task? Had not all of us done our part in liberating the oppressed countries of Europe, by now France, Belgium and other entire nations would be chained in slavery to the Germans. Then, alone, the United States would have to wrestle with the tyrant. Fifty years after Lincoln devoted his life to the liberation of a race, that race had the opportunity to assist in liberating the world. Can anyone imagine Lincoln stopping half way in such a task? To complete it, 1919 must be a year of real thrift for everyone. By spending wisely—getting the most of what we actually need for the amount we can afford to spend—something will be left over to save. By saving intelligently, giving attention to the important things and eliminating unnecessary—something will be accumulated for investment. By investing safely—in Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps or Liberty Bonds—we shall help complete the task, win personal prosperity, and assist in gaining national prosperity. The remembrance of Lincoln's Birthday should be a reminder to prove ourselves worthy of his great faith. * If Lincoln Could Speak * Today He Would Say * to You— Emancipate yourself from money worries by putting your savings into Thrift and War Savings Stamps. * * * * * Have a personal share in your government by owning government' stock—Thrift and War Savings Stamps. The money you pay for them is a loan from you to the government and pays you interest. * * * * * Be active, good citizens—partners with your country in finishing up the war job and carrying out the peace program. Thrift and War Savings Stamps give this partnership. * Spend your time and energy * as well as money wisely. You * will then be able to buy Thrift * and War Savings Stamps. Steady * saving will bring you prosperity. * DUNSON INTER and FINISHER MRS. L. MINER has Opened a first-class C A F E at 1307 1-2 E. 18th Street Strictly Home Cooking Meals 25 cents WILLA M.

Women Who Fascinate Have Simply Developed the Art or Power of Putting Others "On Good Terms With Themselves." A vivacious woman writer seeking the secret of feminine fascination, finds it in the art or power some women have of charming others by putting them, as a bluff Britisher phrased it, "on ripping good terms with themselves." Is not this a characteristic of almost all those persons, men and women, whom we like the best and enjoy the most? Do they not, either by artifice or by instinct, endeavor to make the people they meet feel that they amount to something, know something, have some excellence, attractiveness or interesting qualities, and thus put them on pleasant terms with themselves. The persons who are least adept at this or least inclined to try it are the self-centered, self-important people completely absorbed in their own affairs and not wise or well-bred in little worlds of which they are the centers, and may be said in a certain sense to revolve about themselves. This is a characteristic brought up from lower forms of life from which we are ancestrally derived and only in part outgrown. For most animals the only concerns of the least importance are those which directly affect themselves. They are egocentric. The things that touch them make up their world and they have no interests outside of that. More than any other animal the dog can sink his personality so to speak, subordinate himself and make his master's interests his own. Only infrequent individuals of other species can or will do this. Hence dogs as a rule are more companionable for man than any other Hving creatures below him in the evolutionary scale. But to return to human beings, Josephine was the most beloved and charming woman in France because she took a genuine and kindly interest in the affairs of all with whom she came in touch. She was outgoing, inclusive in her sympathies and thus counteracted antagonism created by Napoleon, who was self-centered to an extraordinary degree. Not to multiply examples, does not experience teach all observant people that in selflessness lies the secret of charm? Are not the lovable people those whose love goes out spontaneously, or appears to? Is not egocentricity, entire absorption in themselves, a characteristic held in common by most of the people who get on one's nerves? Kind hearts are more than coronaed, said Tennyson. Mrs. C. C.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Read our ads, carefully. Keep pegging away. Get ready for the opportunity, and the opportunity will come. Nothing is so local as to not be of some general benefit. In the efficiency tests given to the city school children last May, it is found that Negro pupils ranked far above the city standards in formal spelling, slightly below in penmanship and distressingly below in arithmetic. It was the zero of meanness for the dynamiters to place their nerve splitting charge under the wheels of a Vine street "special." The Negroes had already had their share of this sort of entertainment, and it ought to be passed around. After a few more academic lessons of good taste are learned some of our popular banquet speakers should observe the wide difference between a response to a toast and an address of the evening. There might also be established a training school for toast-masters. School efficiency cannot rise very high above home efficiency. If the home does not foster an atmosphere conducive to intellectual inspiration the school has but little to begin with. The unregulated home, be it ever so pretentious in its claims, is a fatal barrier to the moral, social and mental development of the child. Colored people just will make their public programs too long. That's why more people do not attend them and that's why many excellent numbers are wasted upon retreating patrons. The question should not only be "Is the program attractive enough?" It should always be, "Is it short enough?" Dr. R. R. Moten is a very sensible man, and it may not be true, as reported, that he was over in France advising the Southern Negro soldiers to return home in a meek and humble manner. It is far more likely that he was advising them not to return to their Southern homes at all. The white people down South will attend to the "meek and humble" part of the return. If the war brings no other great benefit to the Negro, the National prohibition of the liquor traffic will make up for all disappointments in other practical directions. Drink has been our greatest moral, social and economic enemy. It has harassed our home ties, retarded our children, debased our ideals and consumed our resources. It has crazed the lowest of our impulses and it has brought upon us the brutal frenzy of the law less mob! THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN FOR SALE- PRICE $1,800.

GARDNER HAS NEGOTIATES WITH LEGISLATURE «FOR CHANGE IN EXISTING STATUTES, TO ELIMINATE INEQUALITIES Not to Collect Any Direct Taxes for Use of State, but Commonwealth Shall Derive Income by Indirect Methods. Jefferson City, Mo. Negotiations looking to a reform ot the unfair taxation system of Missouri and a settlement of the vexatious prob- Jems of assessment through legislation which will completely separate the Sources of state and local revenves are being conducted by Gov. Gardner with members of the legislature, Demo- eratic and Republican. ‘The proposition being considered is that the state shall not ¢ollect any direct taxes for state purposes. leav- ing the direct taxation to provide the funds for county, municipal and_lo- cal purposes solely and instead shall derive all its revenue from an in- ¢reased tax on corporations and fran- chises, an irsreased fnheritance tax, ‘@ more comprehensive and better pro- ducing’ income tax, from the tax on banks:and from such other indirect means ‘is may be determined by the legislature. Under the present laws the state tax rate for state purposes is 15 cents ‘on the $100 valuation, with an ad- ditional rate of 3 cents on the $100 for the payment of interest on tho state capitol bonds. This rate applies over the entire state. As a result of the system, Missouri Probably has the mos¢ unequal sys- tem of taxation of any state in the country, through the failure of the assessors to assess property at its real value. In a county in which the needs for local revenue are small, property 4s assessed at only a fraction of its value. In other counties where the local needs are greater, property “is assessed at a much higher value. In consequence these counties have to Pay a large proportion of the state's expenses, Advocates of the plan being con: sidered say that it no state revenue 4s derived from direct property taxes, each county will be free to assess Property at any proportion of its value they see fit for local needs, without any injustice being done to other por- tions of the state, each county being dependent on itself alone for its local revenues. Thus if one county needed only a small revenue, it could fix its tax rate ‘on any assessed yaluation to meet its needs, while another county needing more revenue, could fix its tax rate at a higher figure, or assess property at or near its true value. May Oppose Police Salary Raise. No argument has been made be- fore the house committee on Munici- Pal Corporations in behalf of the St, Louis police salary bill when the members of the committee indicated they might possibly be adverse to Dill to increase the salary of police. men in Kansas City. ‘When Representative Keenan of Kansas City spoke in bebalf of the increase in salaries in Kansas City, Representative Razovsky of St. Louis asked him if it was not a political move. Keenan declared that the patrol- men of his city were only asking for an increase of $25 a month. They now receive $80 a month. \Mouchers in Question, Representative Dyott, Republican floor leader, has called a caucus of the Republican ‘members to investigate a couple of vouchers which have been made out and apparently paid to B. L. Guffy, a Republican politician, whose name is on the payroll as a “Journal clerk.” Dyott said he is well ‘acquainted with Guffy, and that Guffy had not been in Jefferson City since the legislature met, Jan, 10. The first voucher drawn in favor of Gutty was executed Jan, 16 for $21, as compensation for six days’ work. The second youcher was drawn Jan. 31 for $56, and is pay for 16 days’ work at $8.50 per day. ‘The vouchers were drawn on Audi- tor Hackmann on legislative scrip is- sued by William G.

Principal James B. Gregs introduced him as “a high minded servant of the people—a man who has shown forward-looking care for the welfare and happiness of all the people.” Secretary Lane said: Armstrong's Lasting Monument. “General Armstrong needs no mon- ument other than Hampton Institute, born out of the spirit of helpfulness, charity, tolerance, faith—a spirit that represents the new day antl not the day that is past. “I doubt if there is # single man who has lived in this country who bas more certainly pointed the way to the character of education that will obtain in the United States in the future than General Armstrong. He foresaw the thing that was needed for the making of a democracy and he put into this institution @ theory of education, a philosophy reaching far further than the colored man, which will be a standard for us throughout the United States. The best of his philosophy was that men and women must work. If you want civilized men, they must be working men, If you want men of culture— and not a superficial culture—they must be men who have woven into their natures th epower to do.” Square Deal for All Men. Secretary Lane paid a warm trib- ute to the splendid work of nearly 400,000 colored soldiers, of whose rec- ord, he declared, men from any part of the world might well feel proud, Addressing the great Hampton abidi- ence, he said; “And you are to have a part in the making of this new America—in exploiting the possibili- ties of it. No race, no people can with assurance say that they express the just word of civilization, “The foundation of our country is tolerance, fair play, the square deal. We want to see here man, as man, given his chance. There may be dif- ferences between men, and we know there are—physical, mental, moral; but they are all men and all are to have their chance and we all are to Join in the making of America,” The Hamptoa choir, and later the entire Hampton school, sang to Sec retary Lane and other Founder's Day guests a number of the “old spirit vals,” including “I Want to Be Ready,” “I Am Rolling Through This Unfriendly World,” “We Are Climb: ing Jacob's Ladder,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” and “My Lord, What a Morning.” ie Semmens eee ae ¢ Nh sso | a ep [ae So [aaa . pe Rea ee Ss > £ ay) Pato ae yee [oe =e TS pee ee G2 es ae | SST) ae ae a ¥: “| a ae ol a 8 etehomeirtc re oe oe ENT etd Betad. en Re ey) Sei ae Ie AE dah A ii, PG : (Rates Bao id 4 Bee as.

LAWYERS MAKE GOOD IN WAR In an address before the State Bar Association at Topeka, Senator A. M, Keene of Fort Scott told the lawyers that 193 Kansas attorneys were in the army during the recent war and 121 became officers, He stated that of this number two were brigadier generals, two colonels, two Heutenant colonels, six majors, twelve captains, twenty-nine first Heutenants, —fifty- two second lieutenants, eleven ser- geunts, five corporuls, fifteen privates and the grade of fity-seven was not known to the speaker. Mr. Keene gave an idea of the ex- tent to which the law schools of the nation have teen depleted by the war. He said: “At the opening of the law schools in 1918 the joss in attendance was 75 per cent. Fourteen law schools have suspended operations entirely and have quietly given up the ghost.” _ Mr. Keene spoke on the rapid “evo- lution” and changes in the profession from that of comparatively a few years ago when budding legal genii gained their schooling in law offices, while now practically all law students attend law schools. He declared that the “ace of commercialism” of recent years had spread that “dire plague of codification” over the profession and uas “destroyed its science,” as it ex. isted under the common law. That fraternity and sorority men and women at the University of Kan- sas lead in class work is the report made public by George O. Foster, egistrar, in announcing the grade ay- rages for the past term. The aver- age grade made by all students ut the university was 69.9 per cent, or 1 per cent below a passing mark. The women's secret societies out- stripped the men's organiations in class work, according to Mr, Foster's report. The Kappa Alpha Theta mem- vership averaged a grade of 93.59 per zent and every one of the women's or- ganizations made an average higher than a passing grade, The Delta Tau Delta fraternity topped the list of men’s organizations in scholarship with an average of 76.93 per cent. ° The Kansas Bar Association com pleted the annual session at Topeka and clored with a banquet at night.
