THE NEGRO IS MORE OR LESS A SUBJECT IN ALL OTHER COUNTRIES. By Rucker Smith A personal statement of writer: "My sudden interest in Liberia was aroused by the many race riots occurring in this country, at a time when the Negro, undoubtfully, was deserving of much credit for his unquestionable bravery in the World's War. I have a book advertised in this paper on Africa. The proceeds, if any, will be used to bear the expense of this undertaking. In 1914 I advocated that a National lynch-law be enacted, several attempts have been made to do this in Congress. In 1916 my articles appearing in this paper were, in a measure responsible for three race men being candidates for Alderman in this city, one missing election by narrow margin. Many of us know the names of rules of all the great white nations, but I dare say, but few know who is President of Liberia. The Hon. Daniel Howard is President and the Hon. S. G. Harmon is Vice. The Constitution of the Republic of Liberia is on the model of the United States, with trifling exceptions. The Executive is vested in a President and Vice and a council of six ministers and the House of Representatives is elected for four years, the Senate for six. Liberia has a Coast line of three hundred fifty miles extending from MME.

In some places about two hundred miles. The number of American Liberians are about 12,000, there are about 50,000 Negroes along the Coast that are considered civilized. There are about 2,000,000 natives of the itinerior, who have some very powerful chiefs among them. The schools of Liberia are mostly Mission schools and the teachers are both Americans and natives. The Methodists have a college at Monrovia, the Protestant Episcopalians have a High School at Cape Palmas. The American Negroes are the largest body of civilized black people in the world living under one Government. No matter what you think about it or how much you may feel superior to the uncivilized black man of Africa, you are his brother and if we Americans, who have African blood coursing through our veins, ever expect to be treated as industrial or social equals of the white race, that is the only way we can get a man's part, we shall be disappointed. Liberia needs our help and we need hers. Now, where is there in all the world a more promising field, than Liberia, to prove worth. Here, gentlemen, is your opportunity, embrace it. NEGROES TO COLONIZE? (By the Associated Negro Press.) St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 27—Plans for the colonization of American Negroes in a new free state to be set up on the Mexican border, said to have the support of the 200,000 members of the race who comprise the Free Will M. E. Church, will be set in motion at the annual convention and conference of the church to be held in St. Louis, according to the statement made yesterday by Dr. M. M. Madden of Oklahoma City, a delegate to the convention, will eliminate entirely the race question from the list of problems facing the United States. Dr. Madden's plan is that the new state be governed upon a modified territorial principle. Laws shall be made by the Negro citizens of the state, but shall be subject to veto by the United States Government. Except for this veto, however, the colony shall be entirely self-governing, and relations with the United States shall be by treaty. The state shall consist of 100 square miles of territory, 500 on the American side of the Rio Grande River and 500 on the Mexican side. The United States shall buy the American territory from the individual citizens, and the Mexican territory from the Mexican Government. Negro property in the United States shall be appraised and bought up by the Government, but emigration shall not be compulsory. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 27. — It is probable that the Union Republican party will put a Negro candidate in the general election for Congress to succeed A. F. Lever, who has resigned to accept a position on the federal land loan board, according to L. A. Hawkins, a Negro of Columbia, district chairman of the party. A meeting of county executive committeemen of the Seventh Congressional District was held at Hawkins' office here today when the matter was discussed. Hawkins stated that while nothing definite had been done, it was almost certain that at a subsequent meeting, in the near future, a candidate will be named. In the meantime Hawkins said he would communicate with the white Republicans and other white friends in this district and ask them for suggestions. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Hornell, N. Y., Aug. 28. — John Holmes, a Colored man of this city has brought an action for $5,000 damages against E. C. Wood, proprietor of Midway Court here, charging that he suffered humiliation as the result of having been ejected from the skating rink there. The plaintiff alloges he was ejected on account of his color and for no other reason. --- The Kansas City Sun Entered as second-class matter, August the postoffice at Kansas City, Mo. under T M ASE Picture NT ON THE GLOBE LY BY NEGROES. ECT IN ALL OTHER ```markdown ``` KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1919. B. M. Mumba The opening of the McDuffie Department Store, 1820 E. 18th Street, answers in a modern way a great need of the community. This assertion was exemplified last Saturday when the store opened at 11 a.m., and sold out all groceries and meats at 8:10 p. m. Hundreds were turned away from the door unable to supply their needs. Cash receipts for the day was $800.00. Such an opening not only bespeaks of the popularity of Dr. McDuffie, but clearly demonstrates his wisdom in establishing the enterprise. And it goes without saying that our people are loyal to race enterprises when the management lowers the price of goods thereby recognizing the consumer as well as the profiteers. The management of the McDuffie Department Store had the consumer in mind when the store was established. And our people who compose a large number of Kansas City's consumers seem to be as eager to support Dr. McDuffie in his effort to supply their needs bodily as well as spiritually. Success and long life to the McDuffie Department Store. "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT UNCLE?"

King, Editor and Founder of the Dallas, Express, the largest race publication in the southwest, was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock at 2311 Flora street. Mr. King lived only a few minutes after he was shot. He was shot in the upper right chest. Hattie C. Burleson, former personal secretary and boarding mistress of Mr. King, voluntarily surrendered immediately after the shooting and an affidavit charging her with murder was filed in Justice Barnett's court. Born in Mississippi, Mr. King was the son of Richard and Marguerite King. He was born in Macon, Miss. 1886. He was educated in the schools of Macon. After completing his high school education he taught school for a number of years in the public schools of Lauderdale and Jasper counties where he enjoyed the distinction of standing the best examination of any teacher in these counties, white or black. Seeing the need of a newspaper to defend the rights of his down trodden race, he began the publication of a paper known as "Fair Play," about 1885 which had a wide circulation and was successfully managed until forced to close his shop and leave the state on account of position his paper took in defense of his race. He came to Dallas in 1891 and secured a position as managing editor of the Western Star, published by R. E. W. D. Isaacs in 1892. He began the publication of the Dallas Bee, later the name was changed to the Dallas Express. He was editor-in-chief at the time of his death and by his uncompromising stand for justice and right, the paper is considered one of the strongest publications in the southwest. The deceased is surveyed by a brother, John King, of Greenville, Miss., who will come for the remains and make funeral arrangements. GRAND LODGE OF U. B. F. AND S. M. T.

(By the Associated Negro Press.) Lowell, Mass., Aug. 27—Lewell's Colored population fortunately has long been amiable and well disposed thanks in part to a tradition of racial amity that dates to pre-Revolutionary days. The history of this neighborhood hood is full of stories and anecdotes of respected and useful black folk: "Caesar's," the humorous and resourceful fultendant upon the Rev. R. V Thomas Parker, after whom Caesar's Spring, in Pawtucketville, was named. Silas Royal, the famed factum of General Joseph Bradley Varnum; Barzillal Lew, the Colored tifer at Bunker Hill battle, the progeny of musical Lewis that has come from him right down to our own time, and several others. So far as this community is concerned it is as if the white vs. Colored issue has never been drawn and looks never likely to be drawn. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., Aug. 28—A bill limiting certain sections of the city to Negroes and prohibiting them from living in other districts is now pending in the House. It was introduced by Thaddeus H. Caraway, Representative from Arkansas, yesterday. This is the fourth bill framed by Caraway to effect a complete segregation of the Negro and white races. One bill would prohibit the intermarriage of the races in the District and another would prohibit enlistment of any Negro in military or naval service. This latter bill also would cause every Negro now in the service to be discharged. Another bill by Caraway would compel Negroes either to ride on diffrent cars from whites or have re (By the Associated Negro Press.) Durham, N. C., Aug. 27—John Merick, one of the best known Negroes in this section of the United States, died here. The death was not unexpected, as he had been ill for several months past. The deceased was born in Clinton, Sampson County, September 7, 1859. About forty years ago he came to this city. Merrick was a self-made man, whose life was a good example to the members of his Race. When he first came to this city he was a bricklayer. Being economical he saved much of the money he made, and in a few years he opened a barber shop, and for many years his place of business was the favorite place of its kind in the city. After many years of this work he founded the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, the largest organization of its kind in the world. Since 1899, the year of its establishment, this organization has steadily grown. In 1884, together with other Colored people, he founded the Lincoln Hospital. All of his life he gave large donations to the hospital on which he served as president of the board of trustees for more than twenty years. About the same time the hospital was founded, Merrick, together with Prof. W. G. Pearson, founded the order of the Royal Order of King David. This lodge, like all his organizations, soon became one of the largest in the world. Other institutions established by the deceased are the Colored Library and the Mechanics and Farmers Bank, the latter being established in 1908. The library has been one of the greatest helps to the Colored people of this city. All his life Merrick continued to give large donations to the library.

Du Mee, One B. Wilson By Mrs. Ona B. Wilson. The services at Ebenezer were wonderfully inspiring Sunday morning. The sermon was preached so forcibly and practical that the hearts of all burned within and many were restrained to come to Christ. So powerful are the sermons preached by Rev. W. T. Osborne that men and women are stricken in sin and asks them to come forward and accept Christ as their personal Savior and Ebenezer as their church home.

ALLEN CHAPEL A large and appreciative audience assembled in Allen Chapel Sunday morning and listened to the very able and inspiring sermon delivered by the minister, Dr. Wm. H. Thomas, on "Possessing Our Possessions." Dr. Thomas is one of the most scholarly ministers of the day, and is now rounding up his sixth year at Allen Chapel, the members of which are loathe to see him go. At present he is devoting his entire energy to the liquidating of the mortgage debt, which is now less than $1,000.00. The Hon. N. C. Crews, in eloquent terms, impressed upon the congregation the necessity of giving to the limit. The members and friends alike caught the inspiration; spontaneously giving more than $300.00, many of those having paid their pledges, some doubling and trebling. Sister Louise McDonald, stationed at the blackboard, kept account of the amount given. The church is greatly indebted to its women workers: to those who have worked untriflingly and unceasingly. They have not only given their dollars, but their time and energy likewise. "The Holy Supper is kept indeed in whatsoever we share in anothers' need. Not what we give, but what we share for the gift without the giver is bare." It was cool and inviting out on the lawn opposite the church, where the evening service was held. The choir was at its best and Dr. Thomas delivered a fine sermon, short, to instructive. During the day there were three additions. Interesting sessions were held by the Christian Endeavors.

PROMINENT NEGRO PASSES OUT (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 26.—Declaring he had "used the utmost care in appointing the committee to undertake this great work." Governor Lowden yesterday, through Dr. Francis W. Shepardson, director of the Illinois department of registration and education, announced the membership of his commission for the investigation of relationship between whites and Negroes in Chicago. Attorney Edgar A. Bancroft heads the commission which includes members of both races. Its personnel is as follows: Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears-Roebuck & Co.; Victor F. Lawson, publisher of the Chicago Daily News; Edward Osgood Brown, attorney and president of the Chicago branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Harry Eugene Kelly, attorney; William Scott Bond, real estate dealer; Dr. Cleveland Hall, an official of the Urban League; Edward H. Morris, attorney; Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Defender Chicago; Adelbert H. Roberts, sponsor in the fifty-first general assembly of a bill advocating the appointment of an intersocial commission; George H. Jackson, business man; Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church. Commenting on the appointments, the governor's statement continued: "I have sought only the most representative men of both races. I have not even asked them whether they have views as to how the condition may be met. "This is a tribunal constituted to get the facts and interpret them and find the way out. "These riots were the work of the worst elements of both races and did not represent a majority of either. "The two races are here and will remain here. The great majority of each realizes the necessity for living on terms of cordial good will and respect. That condition must be brought about. To say it cannot is to confess the failure of self-government. "I offer no solution of the problem. I do know it cannot be solved by mob violence." The committee probably will meet in the next ten days. ```markdown ``` Misses Hoover & Williams Announce the opening of a first-class Sewing Shop Misses Hoover & Williams Announce the opening of a first-class Sewing Shop Men's Shirts a Specialty Bell Phone East 4730 1607 "A" E. 18th Street ve's th and V OME OF THE Sunday, Aug. 31, a icture You Have MIC FEAT ABEL N us from 1 to 12 P Come in the Afternoon, w ednesday, Sept. 2-3 A BARA IN THERE WAS" IS TH and Vine S OF THE BIG ug. 31, and Mond You Have Been ICKE FEATURING L NOR 1 to 12 P.M.

EDITORIALS It has been rightly said that "Nothing but big success awaits Messrs. Joseph and Carl Jacobson, who are launching into business with good goods and a square deal to all their drawing cards." The Jacobson Brothers have opened a branch at 1005 Main Street for the Lundin Shoe. After disposing of the $40,000.00 stock of Crosssey shoes at lower than cost prices they will handle the Lundin shoe direct from the factory, thereby eliminating the jobber's profit and enabling the firm to sell the shoes at moderate prices. As they warmly include the Negro in their square deal to all we conclude as we began—nothing but big success awaits their launching into business. in resuming his place in the business profession as one of Kansas City's premier undertakers, Mr. A. T. Moore meets the approval of his myriad friends. Fortune dealt kindly with the Sanders Undertaking Company at 17th and Holmes street when Mr. Moore connected himself with the firm. Men may plead for opportunities to fill this or that place but there are always opportunities for efficient men. Mr. Moore's twenty-five years experience as an undertaker reserved for him an opportunity to give to his people the same excellent service as a popular embalmer. Supported by his loyal patrons we predict years of success for the Sanders Undertaking Company as it launches forth with Mr. A. T. Moore at the helm. At the annual session of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten which was held in Mound City, Ill., August 18 to 22d inclusive, the following officers were elected: Jordan W. Tutt re-elected State Grand Master, J. E. Bish of Chicago, State Grand Deputy, Benjamin H. Lucas, Grand Secretary, J. C. Steele, Mound City, Grand Treasurer, Edward Duncan, Quincy, Chairman Trustee Board. The Grand Temple elected the following: Rhoda M. Johnson, Grand Princess re-elected, Eliza Jackson, Chicago, Vice Grand Princess, Georgia E. Hardin, Chicago Grand Temple, Secretary and Rebecca Hart, Cairo Grand Temple, Treasurer. There were 859 members added to the order this year. Major R. A. Byrd of Springfield, was re-elected Secretary of the Endowment Board. AN APPEAL. To the Good Hearted People of Kansas City; Joe Holden, 408 Campbell street, this city, is seriously ill, and would appreciate anything you would do for him while in this condition. As I talked to the poor fellow, he said that only a very few of the boys had been to see him. I know you have been begged to death for funds for every purpose, but this is a worthy cause, "Joc" is well known, as he is one of the oldest laborers in the street cleaning department, and I asked him when he would be able to go to work and he replied, "never again." Yours for Charity, L. W. SPENCER. NOTICE. To the Colored People of Great- er Kansas City:— This is to inform you that I own a sewing machine factory with 50 power machines and the machinery thereunto belonging, now located in one of the storerooms of my office building, that cost me $1,800, which is clear of encumbrance. Mr. McCamey has undertaken to get the colored people of this city to form a corporation to run it and I have agreed to incorporate it at the expense of the company for $3,500, if he can get stockholders to take $1,700, stock $300 in cash with the balance subscribed. It takes $2,000, of paid up stock to obtain a charter in Missouri. Some time ago white merchants offered to furnish me with the cloth and money to pay the operators to make up goods for them. I have too much business on hand to run the factory alone, but I can keep the ledger account and get work in from my law office. You all are at liberty to use my law office for consultation and organization. I, Harry J. McCamey, do hereby request you to meet at the law office of W. H.

From the Gymnasium they were taken into the banquet hall where they behold a table beautifully decorated with fragrant flowers and seemingly ladened with an inexhaustible supply of ham, chicken, salads, olives, coffee, ice cream and cakts palatable for the most fastidious and it goes without saying each was equal to the occasion. Having assembled around the banquet table, the following program was rendered: Invocation, Lieutenant Simpson: Welcome Address, Capt. John Todd; Address, Pres. E. King, Paper, Poet Kennedy, subject "Sergt. Steele as a Fireman", Quotation, Jno. Kennedy; Remarks, H. Davis; Address, T. H. Elliott, subject "The Past", Address, E. G. Lacey, subject "The Present"; Address, A. Smith, subject "The Future"; Address, Sergt. Steele, "The Happenings Since We Last Met." At the conclusion of the program the company upon the suggestions of President King decided for the betterment of their literary attainments to go into a permanent organization. Just before leaving President King presented Mesdames Steele, Osborne and White with a bouquet in commemoration of the event. Long live Hose Co. No. 11. (By the Associated Negro Press.)

Last week at Sedalia, Mo., the Masonic brethren from all over the jurisdiction came in large numbers to the sitting of the Grand Lodge.

Whether it be the life of a banker, baker, or shoemaker it must always be in progression. It must always purpose to do more and better than in time past. Fully conscious of this fact the Banks Electric Shoe Shop adopted a motto "For the Good of Our Sole." And seeing our inability to handle our increasing patronage we gladly secured the service of Mr. Irving Smith, an efficient shoe repairer. We have beautified the interior of our shop, improved our stock of material and purchased new fixtures for our electric machinery in order to do more and better than in time past. Therefore we recommend you to take care of your sole, for we are prepared to take off "Your sole" from 7:30 A. M. to 7:30 P. M. closing Saturdays at 10:30 P. M. Lieut. J. C. Banks. Proprietor. WORLD WORKERS Cotton pickers are so scarce in Mississippi that a price of $2 per 100 pounds is being offered. Of the total number of workers on January 1, 1918, in the mines in France, 12.8 per cent were women. Conductorettes in Hamburg have refused to give up their jobs unless the state guarantees them husbands. Yorkshire, England, textile workers ask income tax authorities to award wage earners an exemption of not less than $25 a year for clothes torn and destroyed in their work. Miss Gwendolyn Pegg, ticket agent at the Union terminal in Dallas, Texas, is one of the first 50 graduates of the United States railroad administration's school for women ticket agents. The Jewish Woman's Council of Frankfort, Germany, which represents 40,000 Jewish women, has appealed to President Wilson to have him intervene in Poland on behalf of the Jews. Increased benefits under the workmen's compensation law and state-administered health insurance are included in the legislative measures indorsed by the Kansas Federation of Labor. The majority of textile workers of Lancashire, England, are women. They also form the majority of the trade union membership and receive the same rates of pay for the same work as men. But how will that minister who is going to preach from an airplane, 20,000 feet in the air, know whether it is a coin or a collar button? The fellow who can't afford an auto mobile tries to make himself believe he is saving his money to be one of the first to own a pleasure airplane.

AUGUST 30. 1919 THE NEW FOOD LAW WILL BE DRASTIC Agricultural Committee Adopts Amendmeut Providing Jail Sentence for Profeiteers. WILL PUNISH HOARDERS, 100 House and Senate Urged to Hurry Action in Order to Quit Unrest Throughout Country. Washington.—The first tangible result of the administration's appeal to legislation to strengthen the hand of the government in its crusade against the H. C. L. came when the House committee on agriculture drafted an amendment to the food control act to carry out suggestions from the President and Attorney General including a provision making it possible to send food horders and profiteers to jail. The amendment, which extends the scope of the control act to include wearing apparel, food, fertilizer and containers of food, and revises the profiteering section, was submitted to the House by Representative Haugen, chairman of the committee. Will Make Immediate Report. As soon as it is formally referred, Mr. Haugen said, the committee will be ready to report it back immediately with a recommendation for its enactment. One salient feature of the proposal gives the President power to "find what is a just, reasonable, nondiscriminatory and fair or nonwasteful storage charge, commission, profit or practice." The penalty provision which the President said was essential for a successful war against profiteering makes possible a fine of $5,000, or imprisonment for not more than two years or both for profiteers, food boarders, and others who violate any provision of the law. Quicker Action is Demanded. Quicker action by Congress in the campaign to reduce the cost of living was urged on the Senate and House. Senator Walsh declared high prices were at the bottom of all the unrest and charged that Congress was wasting time when something should have been done already in response to President Wilson's recommendations. Mayors of New Jersey cities appearing before the House agriculture committee said action was needed at once to stop the rising scale of prices. Regulation of imports was one means suggested. TURN POLICE INTO SOLDIERS American Authorities at Coblenz Declare Peace Treaty Already Being Evaded by Germany. Coblenz—Militarization of German police, contrary to the terms of the treaty of peace, has already begun, according to information reaching American authorities. In the city of Cassel the police were recently completely organized on military lines by the Prussian government, it is said, and now are equipped with steel helmets and rifles and follow the routine of a military company in their barracks. Of the three hundred state police in office in Cassel, one hundred have elected to be transferred to the new organization, and the remainder have been given places in the civil service.

Frank L. Travis, superintendent of insurance, announced recently a 10 per cent reduction in the cost of fire insurance throughout Kansas. This was accomplished by the removal of the war surcharge of 10 per cent added to every fire insurance policy written in the state except upon farm risks. The surcharge actually was removed August 1, and the collections under it for the first eleven days of the month are to be returned to the policy holders. The removal was accomplished through an agreement made by the superintendent of insurance with J. M. Thomas, head of the Fire Association of Philadelphia, representing the fire insurance companies. The surcharges went into effect November 9, 1918, and Mr. Travis ordered it removed April 1. The companies then brought a suit to prevent the enforcing of this order and the suit has been pending for four months and could not be reached for trial before January. + + + Kansas schools must be utilized more for preparation of lessons. This is the editer given by Miss Blanche Lorraine E. Woocher, state superintendent. She would have more "teaching how to study" and more emphasis on the three R's. The homes of pupils and the street are not supposed to provide the necessary equipment for the proper preparation of lessons and do not do so." Miss Woocher stated. "School rooms should be free from the more book, question box and talking teacher. A happy day and a better educational future will arise when all teachers and instructors realize they have been employed to teach the pupils how to study, how to do things, how to get information from their books and how to get information elsewhere.
