George E. Wibecan, in an address before the members of Shiloh A. M. E. Zion Church and the members of Roosevelt Community Club, West Brighton, Staten Island, recently, in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the landing of the slaves at Jamestown, Va., in 1916, said: "We meet tonight to commemorate the tercentenary of the landing of the slaves in America. They were brought here against their will and came before the Pilgrim Fathers, who landed at Plymouth Rock. The Puritans came that they might be free to worship God. The Negro was brought in chains that he might serve and

toil. For over 250 years he gave his brawn and muscle to the Southland. He felled its forests, tilled its soil and built its railroads and made the South blossom as the rose, yet his toil was unrequited. If the slaves had received the small pittance to which ever criminals were entitled, they would have had an accumulation on Eman cipation Day sufficient to have bough all the lands of the South.
"During the time of the Revolution Negro slavery existed in all the colonies, but it did not enter the economy of Northern life. Slavery only paid where labor could be employed in gangs beneath an overseer where would could be found for a large number of men without cessation through out the year. In the culture of rice sugar, cotton and tobacco these conditions existed. Slaves in the North ern colonies were not employed as field hands,but only as domestic servants in the homes of the rich, and they could therefore be easily dispensed with
"It was proposed by the Northern delegates when the Constitution was being prepared that the African slave trade should at once be abolished, and certain measures should be taken with a view to the gradual emancipation of the Negro. Upon this question Virginia was divided, but Georgia and the Carolinas declared that they would not have the slave trade abolished, that they wanted more slaves, and unless this species of property were guaranteed they would not enter the Union at all. They demanded that slavery should be recognized and protected by the Constitution. The Northerners gave in. They only requested the words 'slave and slavery' might not appear.

To this the Southernners agreed and the contract was delicately worded, but none the less stringent. It was made a clause of the Constitution, that the slave trade should not be suppressed before the year 1808. It might then be made the subject of debate and legislation. It was made a clause of the Constitution that if the slaves of any State rebelled the national troops should be employed against them. It was made a clause of the Constitution that if a slave escaped to a free State, the authorities of that State should be obliged to give him up, and lastly, slave owners were allowed to have votes in proportion to the number of their slaves.
"Such was the price which the Northerners were to pay for nationality. But the Southernners had not yet finished. The colonies possessed, according to their charters, certain regions in the wilderness and west, and these they delivered to the nation. A special promise was made however, by South Carolina and by Georgia, that at no future time should slavery be forbidden in the territories which they gave up of their own free will, and these territories in time became slave States. It is therefore evident that the South intended from the first to preserve and to extend slavery. They refused to enter the Union, unless their property was guaranteed. They threatened to withdraw from the Union whenever they thought that the guarantee was about to be evaded or withdrawn. It has never been recorded in history where men set up the claim of free government and made constitutional provision for the enslavement of a portion of the people.
"Such were the rewards that came to the slaves for their labor, their valor and heroism in the war of the Rebellion. They fought to make the white man free, while the white man fought to make them slaves. As in the Rebellion, so in all the wars of the nation. The black man has crimsoned its battlefields with his blood. Crispus Attucks, the black, was the first to fall and shed his blood on Boston Common. Black men fought with deathless courage at Concord and Lexington with the ragged continental army. At Bunker Hill, along its slopes, with the embattled farmers fighting with clubbed muskets; with Mad Anthony Wayne leading his men up against the streaming fire at Stony Point; with Lawrence on the bloody decks of the Chesapeake, when he cried 'Don't give up the ship,' with General Jackson at New Orleans, beating back the trained recoats of the British Army. In the battles of the Civil War they helped to save the Union. In the Spanish-American War they rendered distinguished service, and in Mexico
"The Declaration of Independence, which declared 'we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are certain unilienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,' was a mockery to the slave, as it is meaningless to the Negro today in the South. The Negro's presence in America enriched the literature of the land. It gave inspiration to Harriet Beecher Stowe, to Whittier, to Lowell and to Longfellow. His presence inspired statesmen to great flights of oratory recalling memories of Webster, Wendell Phillips, Sumner and Abraham Lincoln.
"Eliminate that period of the nation's history which included the activities of William Lloyd Garrison, Benjamin Landy, Owen Lovejoy, Dr. Parker, Henry Ward Beecher, John Browne, Frederick Douglass, and the history of our country becomes commonplace. At the end of the Civil War only six Negroes out of one hundred could read or write. Today his

THE BLIND SAMSON IN AMERICA
By Chas, Bertram Johnson.
In this great Temple home,
High pointing in the air,
Beneath whose ample dome,
All races dwell and fare.
It's massive pillars down
On bedrock surely stand.
Its columns from the ground,
Rise sheer and nobly grand.
An age—long promise gives
Of beauty aiding worth
With service that relieves
In other lands of earth;
A happy people toll,
Contented, wise and tree,
And pick from gracious soil,
The fruits of liberty.
In mart and City street
The wheels of commerce sing;
Where Church and chapels greet
Great anthems grandly ring;
A prosperous country ours
In outward blessings seems—
And yet—a darkness lowers
Here—a Blind Samson dreams!
His dusky muscle bands,
About the Temple's base;
He gropes his blinded hands,
God save the Negro race!
His faith's about thee fall,
His sightless dark orbs stare,
His foes now scourge and rail,
Grant not his foolish prayer.
LEISURE HOUR REFLECTIONS
FROM A QUIET CORNER.
By Dennis S. Thompson.
A short while ago a leading Negro divine and educator, remarked that "the Negro must have more than an industrial education if he is to keep pace with the rapid development of the times." The matter of an education is a thing that our leaders have been divided on for many years, and for what reason I do not assume to know. There is a fact that stands out very prominently in the lives of many that are "blood read," and that is, they need to use more common sense when in public places.
The very people that are always crying about a classical education are the very best ones that you meet with at the churches, and public gatherings, who are whispering and giggling and giving the ushers trouble, and are always ready to fight when they cannot get the best seats and create the most disturbance. This is a practice that is growing among our folks in that branch of society known as the "upper crust," and it is one that is growing to our shame.
Education is a thing that is grossly misunderstood by a great many people. As a matter of fact, we must have professional people and these must have a classical education. On the other hand we have in our midst a great majority that must have an industrial education, a training for the practical and every day tasks of life; an education that shall teach the individual how to work and earn their living. We have already too many Negroes in the cities, who do everything imaginable to keep out of work, and get through the world by practicing deception on honest hard working people.
Education that does not put the head, heart and hands into active use, is no education at all. It is the education that makes the individual a producer that is going to count in the

future, whether we be in the country
or in the city; the Negro is not pro-
ducing what he consumes, so must
get busy end pick up the right end of
the rope.
We have fine churches in which to worship, we have great institutions of learning, but so many of our so called Christians, and people that ought to have common sense, have too little reverence for the house of God, and too little respect for themselves and the education which they should be representative of.
To be responsible and have the respect of the world at large, we must be honest, sincere, and ever be the one thing. Bees do not put different grades of honey in the same cell, nor different colors of pollen in the same cell, nor visit more than one kind of flowers on the same trip.
The people who have the heaviest loads to carry are often those who are most successful in helping others to carry theirs. They have been right there in the pinch of trouble and they know how it feels. They are large, generous natures that face life cheerfully. There is infectious courage in the tones of their voices and the light of their eyes and the laugh that helps over the hard places. They do not hold out the tips of their gloved fingers; they extend the whole broad, warm hand with a heart pressure in it.
The best helpers are not always labelled such. They need no tag to spread their influence abroad like the sunlight. They may be very quiet, unobtrusive people, who go about their Master's business without sounding a trumpet before them. A constant fund of cheerfulness is one of the best aids God has sent into the world, and so is a witty kindly tongue. A pertinent joke in times of perplexity has lightened more burdens than we imagine.
It is a blessed discovery to find that pathos is next door neighbor to laughter and that the one may often relieve the other, and put a different color on the world. But this kind of laughter is not foolish or vain or empty. It is that sacred joy that sees God over all and can afford to smile in the day of trouble, and take the stones out of our pack.
It is a false belief that life necessarily wears itself out as the years go by. Life means living, and so long as we live with our eyes open toward the future, with our ears attuned to catch the melody of the present day, with our hands eager for the next pected path before us, we shall not gnaw old, but we shall remain young in heart and mind and spirit, which after all are our real selves.

GOOD WORD FOR "TUG" CARTER.
The "Crisis," a national magazine for negroes, printed in New York, in its current issues pays fine tribute to the courage and devotion to duty shown by "Tug" Carter, Negro patrolman of the Flora Avenue Station, who has figured prominently in many recent notable achievements of the department. Since the story was written, "Tug" has kept up his good work and has sent a number of state cases to headquarters. Without doubt, "Tug" is one of the most efficient of the department's patrolmen.-Police Bulletin.
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 1.—Missing a diamond ring belonging to Miss Mary B. Johnson, was revealed yesterday, the police say, by an Xray photograph in the stomach of G. W. Wesley, age 30, a Colored doctor who served as a lieutenant in the war. Wesley was arrested.
Miss Johnson, who is employed in the office of the Pittsburgh American reported to the police that her engagement ring, valued at $250, which had been left on her typewriter desk, had been stolen. She told the police Wesley had been in the office a short time before.
Special policemen Anthony Forester and D. S. Andrist were assigned to investigate the case and they arrested Wesley. The Doctor was taken to the Passavant Hospital where an Xray picture was taken of his his stomach by Dr. George W. Grier. The picture was developed yesterday and Dr. Grier reported it showed a ring in Wesley's stomach. The police were notified and Miss Johnson made an information against the accused man, charging him with lar ceny.

Pittsburg, Pa.—With the steel strike apparently settling into a long drawn out struggle, local officials are not concerned so much over the prospects of disorder arising from this specific industrial situation as they are over an eruption of I. W. W. lism unconnected with the strike.
Mayor Babcock has received copies of the I. W. W. literature that was distributed among the Colored people of Akron, Ohio. Pittsburgh alone has a black population of 46,000, while the district here about has many brought from the south in the stress of war work.
Agitation has been going on here among the Colored residents for months, according to reports to the police, and it is frankly feared in many quarters that trouble may come to a head in the municipal elections in the city.
"Throughout this land of liberty, so-called," says the pamphlet, "the Negro worker is treated as an inferior; he is underpaid in his work and overcharged in his rent; he is poked about cursed and spat upon; in short, he is treated, not as a human being, but as an animal, as a beast of burden for the ruling class. When he tries to improve this condition, he is shoved back into the mire of degradation and poverty and told to 'keep his place.'
"He has, however, one weapon the master class fears—the power to fold his arms and refuse to work for the community until he is guaranteed fair treatment. Remember how alarmed the south became over the emigration of Colored workers two years ago and what desperate means were used to try to keep them from leaving the mills and cotton fields?
"The only power of the Negro is his power as a worker; his one weapon is the strike. Only by organizing and refusing to work for those who abuse him can he put an end to the injustice and oppression he now endures.
"Most labor organizations, however, shut their doors to the Colored people. The American Federation of Labor excludes him from any of its unions as an inferior. In those to which he is admitted he is treated as an inferior. The Negro has no chance in the old line trade unions. They do not want them. They admit him only under compulsion and treat him with contempt. Their officials who discourage strikes for higher wages or shorter hours are always ready as in the case of the switchman's union to permit a strike to prevent the employment of Colored men.
"This narrow minded policy of excluding the Negro from the trade unions of the country forces him to become a strike breaker against his will by closing legitimate occupations to him. The consequence is racial conflicts such as the frightful tragedy in East St. Louis, Ill., in 1917.
"There is one international labor organization in this country that admits the Colored worker on a footing of absolute equality with the hites—the Industrial Workers of the World."
The pamphlet then offers the Negro absolute equality in the ranks of the I. W. W., and pleads that the organization aims for more than a mere "less work and more pay."
"But the I. W. W. does not limit its aims as do the trad e unions." continues the pamphlet. "to less work and more pay. Its greatest object is the complete emancipation of the working class. As long as the workers hold their jobs only by permission of some employer they are not free. As long as there is one class that lives in ease and idleness off their labor they are industrial slaves.
"Freedom for the workers will come only when everybody does his share of the work of the world and when the workers take control of the industries and operate them—not as at present, for the benefit of the leisure class, but for the welfare of society as a whole."

Mr. B. F. Adams, Principal of Lincoln School, carried out "Go to Sunday School" at Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday, October 26, which was a great success. Papers were read and Sunday School lesson discussed fully. Among the many other good things was a paper read by one of the Freshmen, Athenia Grisby, subject, "The Relation of the Teacher to the Community and to the Minister." This struck the sentiment of many and of course lots of comment was made which was good.... The Shiloh Baptist Church with Dr. Hayes, presiding, is having a great rally which will end November 2. We are hoping they will go Over the Top which we know they will because we have never known Dr. Hayes to lose.... The Perry Chapel A. M. E. Church has Rev. L. R. Phillips with them for another year and is expecting great success. This church has a wonderful "Junior Choir" under the direction of Mrs. Phillips.... The Old Folks Concert given at the Baptist Church last week was a great success and Mrs. Belle Trice among others being the entertainer of the evening. She was great. You missed it by not seeing her.... Charleston will be at a loss without seeing Rev. Wellington around occasionally. He leaves us and goes to Pennsylvania....

Soon the time for voting was announced and the House was half filled but the Republicans maintained their majority and the bill passed notwithstanding an aye or no, a standing and a tellers vote was taken.

eighteen consistories to its roster since its last triennial session and at this session it has paid off the debt on its hall with a balance in the treasury of about $2,000.00. Our churches of all denominations are collecting big moneys. Those that have wiped out their debts are making extensive improvements. In Anacostia last week one of our churches rather than allow a strip of land adjacent to it fall into the hands of Jews, suffered the price to go up to $1,500.00 and bought it in though the strip could have been bought for half that sum under ordinary conditions. There seems to be none here who participated in the recent riot. Those Negroes who discuss it all do not in a boastful spirit but regard it as an unpleasant but grim necessity that required resolute and convincing action, impelled by the Roosevelt dictum: "Fear God and take your own part."
Gallantry is not dead here. Especially is it exhibited on the crowded street cars. For it is common to see a man arise and give his seat to a woman which is received with a polite bow. It is the same if the woman is colored and the man white or the man colored and the woman white. Accidents seem less rare than in Kansas City. There is a daily recurrence of traffic accidents according to the papers, resulting in more or less fatal injuries notwithstanding the alertness of the police.

Many dainty delicacies were served after the program and the student body returned to their dormitories feeling much better. Kansas gave to the University an ideal surprise. They put on an old fashioned minstrel show on Tuesday night. Mr. Samuel Kimes and E. A. Anderson being the leading characters and end men.

After dinner the afternoon program was resumed. Rev. J. J. Jenkins of the Antioch Baptist Church, Kansas City, Mo., preached a stirring sermon on "The Living Offering."

Amount of money raised was $200.25. Men's Day is an annual event in our church.

PROPAGANDA
The term "Propaganda" is comparatively new in usage but the thing itself has been practiced ever since Cain slew Abel. One of the southern daily newspapers, alarmed over the "insidious propaganda now being carried on in the Colored newspapers" very seriously inquires: "Why should this be? The white newspapers have never organized against the Colored people?" That is really an amazing statement.
Every newspaper editor of our group in the country, knows that the Associated Press, the leading news distributing service of the country,
has carried on a policy of discrimination in favor of the whites and against the blacks, and is doing it daily now. The Associated Negro Press is in receipt of correspondence from editors in various sections of the country decrying the way in which the Associated Press writes its stories of happenings where Colored people are affected.
TESTIMONAL TO DR. THOMAS.
Kansas City Men Regardless of Creed Tender Banquet To Retiring Divine.
One of the finest tributes of appreciation ever shown to a Christian minister retiring from his labors in this city was The Men's Testimonial Banquet held at the Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening, October 23, with Rev. Wm. H. Thomas as special honored guest.
Heretofore ministers ending their allotted time of service here have been allowed to quietly make their getaway without any particular formalities, but Dr. Thomas had taken such a strong hold upon the affections of the community through his untiring work, broad interests and generous co-operation that the "Boys" demanded an opportunity to show him this unusual honor. The banquet was the result of that demand and over forty men were in attendance.
Under the direction of Mr. Frank A. Harris, Secretary of the "Y," and excellent menu was served and Prof. R. G. Jackson of Western University gladly loaned the brilliant quartette of The Jackson Jubilee Singers which enlivened the program of the evening. Four minute "verbal entrees" were happily responded to by Edw. S. Lewis whose topic was "Dr. Thomas and the 'Boys' ", while Dr. Perry expressed the kindly feelings of "The Medics." Prof. Grisham was at his best in his response to "Dr. Thomas and The Bono Publico" and Prin. Lee was drafted into a happy response to "The Tutors." Nelson Crews who is one of the most ardent admirers and supporters of the honored guest expressed the appreciation in which Dr. Thomas is held by "The Sun" and Mr. Hueston who was given "The Law" paid another very high tribute.
After Mr. Fred Glimore in a carefully prepared speech had shown how Dr. Thomas stood with "The Devil," the reverend guest was called upon and made the closing talk of the evening.
All the talks were brief yet earnest. The singing of the Jackson Jubilee Quartette of which Mr. Percy Lee is the leader made a big hit with several numbers and the whole happy affair was over before eleven o'clock, a very unusual thing for a banquet given by our people in this community.
Among those present were Dr. J. E. Dibble, Nelson Crews, Dr. T. C. Unnhack, F. A. Harris, Dr. J. Edward

"JUSTICE AND CHARITY."
"JUSTICE AND CHARITY."
The Pope, the highest official of the Roman Catholic church, has recently stated in a public interview that there "can be no economic and social progress in the world without charity and justice." That is a fact so patent, that it should require absolutely no argument. But the trouble of the whole world today is the utter inadequacy in practice of Charity and Justice. Everywhere you look, in every country whether it be the troubles of the Negro, the Irish, the Jew, or what not, whether it be the laboring man or the capitalist, at the foundation of all is the sickening of Charity and Justice.
Everybody is trying to "put something over" on the other fellow, daggers and guns and bricks and ropes are preferable to reason and common sense. The devil and all his imps, must be mighty happy as they view with unabated glee the turmoil and the strife. The Old World is losing ground until it gets itself together, and starts to march in unison along the pathway of Charity and Justice. Without them there can be no peace.
Crooked Golf.
Suzanne Lengten, the world's tennis champion, was talking to a group of American correspondents at Wimbledon.
"I don't care for golf," she said. "I think tennis is much nicer. I think golf is queer."
"How queer?" said a golfer.
"It lets you cheat so easily if you're inclined that way. My father played golf one day at Nice with a German. As he held out on the first green the German said to him.
"How many strokes did you do the hole in?
"Seven," said father.
"It's my hole, then," said the German. "I did it in five."
"Father didn't say anything, but when the German asked him at the second green how many strokes he had taken he laughed.
"No, you don't. Herr Sauerkraut" he said. "This time it's my turn to ask first."

Love's Theatre is to be congratulated on bringing to our people the best attractions to be seen on the screen. One of the greatest attractions of he season, "Griffith's Broken Blossoms," the second picture put out by the United Artist Company, will soon appear on the screen at Love's, and it is a well known fact that Mr. Love will put the attraction on with the proper music and decorations that will be appropriate for the occasion. The company does not book any attraction that requires a higher admission fee than the present established prices which will be adhered to.
DAVID·GRIFFITH SPEAKS.
A Word About "Broken Blossoms"
As He Sees His Photoplay—A
Hint Also of Ambitions and
Faiths for the Future.
That the leadership in the art of
the silver screen belongs to David
Griffith since his creation of "Broken
Blossoms" which is soon to be shown
at Love's Theatre, is almost beyond
dispute. The beautiful and colorful
entertainment he has devised from
the pitiful story by Thomas Burke
"The Chink and the Child," will help
people to understand something of
the high ideals for which Mr. Griffith
strives, and the respect and ambition
in which he holds an art for which he
has already done so much.
"I think," he says, "that one of the first duties for a man who deliberately tries to bring home a new art to the people is to try and emphasize the affinities of beauty which lie so deep in nature and reach so far back into the mysterious history of man. Literature cannot express these wholly; nor music, nor painting, nor sculpture; but all these arts, in some phase of their being, may be used as aids in the new medium of the photoplay and bring it step by step the nearer to perfection. Thus it is that, gradually, and carefully feeling my way, I have been able I hope, to bring the musical score into closer harmony and touch with the more obvious message that my screen conveys."
"Then you believe that the screen has a message?"
"What art hasn't a message." was

his reply. "Up to the present I think that we producers of entertainment on the screen have been led away more or less along the paths of a stern and often unlovely realism. Experience is bringing me to see that if we are to be indeed artists our finished art-product must not only be true, but be lovable; we must not only be able to convince but to enchant. It is not to the screen that any motion picture producer can hope to reproduce the wonders and beauties that are i men's souls. i we may hope to do is to picture such phases of life as we may be implied to select, so that these things shall be more beautiful to men's eyes; more thrilling and inspiring to the soul. You remember what Robert Louis Stevenson said. We admire splendid pictures and great pictures; and yet what is truly admirable is rather the mind within us, that gathers together these scattered details for its delight, and makes out of certain colors, certain distributions of graduated light and darkness, that intelligible whole which alone we call a picture or a view. It is precisely in that way. I think, that all art speaks to us by suggestion; by the stimulation of our better qualities. The true realists are the artists who spend their talents in searching out life's joys and showing the rest of us where those joys reside."
"And what of the future of this motion picture art "
"I firmly believe," Mr. Griffith answered, "that the motion picture will come to be regarded as much more than a mere entertainment—such en-
tertainment, I mean, as the modern musical play or vaudieville turns are. My newest picture 'Broken Blossoms' has been spoken of by some not very deep thinkers as a gloomy production. If I thought that I would take the picture off tomorrow, for I wish to spread the gospel of joy, not gloom. But I think that by showing the people the wonderful pageant of consciousness we can teach them to enjoy. From such an appeal as 'Broken Blossoms' people will learn for themselves to sympathize and they will be the better, the kindier, the more truly human for it. Surely to accomplish this is no light thing.
"The motion picture camera". Mr. Griffith concluded, "can never be used solely to record drear or dread things, for lyric beauty and joyous laughter are the very essence of this, as of every other art. And I think it is a finely intellectual and pleasurable task for those who go to see 'Broken Blossoms' to find, to search out for themselves, in the pure love story and beneath the superficially drab tale of Thomas Burke, the lyric beauty and joy and sympathy that underlie it all. It is along such lines as this that I am working now, and the one reward I have in making money from my pictures is that I may thus have enough to spend in making better pictures in the days to come."

NOTICE—SUBSCRIBERS!
We are mailing out bills to all delinquents this week out of the city and sending our collectors to those in the city and we ask all to please be ready and pay at once.
At the Baptist State Convention which met in this city, the Second Baptist Church reported having given $150.00 to Missionary work, $50.00 of which went to the New Era District and the remainder to State work.
Shorter Chapel at Denver, Colo., is prepering a magnificent reception for Dr. Thomas and wife Monday night. They are very much pleased with the appointment.
Judging from the difficulty which the good bishop is having in filling the pulpit of Allen Chapel there must be an increasing scarcity of high class Methodist ministers. At any rate the members of Allen would prefer an empty pulpit to one only half filled.
The Sun is pleased to announce that two of its most energetic and successful collectors, Mrs Rosetta B. Green and Mrs. Rosa Morton Jones are on duty y again in this city. Any courtesies or business transacted with them will be appreciated by the Sun.
Brighter days are coming. Although our impulsive President has vetoed the new prohibition law it will be repassed by Congress and booze will have to go. With booze will go most of the lilies which have beset our race since the birth of our citizenship. It is all tommyrot to say people will still have "their whiskey." Brighter days are coming.
The success of the Soldiers' Memorial Fund drive is now assured and the Negro has played the usual part of the always patriotic and enthusiastic citizen. We have again made our sacrifices for the good of our country's honor and we feel proud not only of the opportunity but of the splendid manner in which we have met it. Brighter days are coming.
The Sun is in receipt of a communication from Mr. John M. Day, manager of the Blind Boone Concert Co. in which he writes: Had six successful weeks in New York City, will be in Philadelphia three weeks, in Washington, D. C., two weeks and one month in Baltimore. We have been the recipients of many social courtesies.
If white politicians protect Negro gambling places, if the gambler who loses his money recoups his fortunes by burglary and highway robbery, sometimes murdering or maiming in this pursuit, then are the Negroes to blame for these criminal outbursts? Now, really, are not the white people to blame? Habitual gamblers will not work. So, if they are broke they must steal. Is it difficult to locate the responsibility for these conditions?

FORMS.
All former enlisted men of the United States Army, discharged honorably or furled upward to the reserve since April 6, 1917, who were so anxious to get rid of any surplus equipment that they mailed their old shirts and gas masks back to the government, may again procure these items in new clothing, according to a bulletin issued yesterday from the United States Army Recruiting Station of St. Louis.
Applications, accompanied with affidavit from an authorized officer, stating discharge data, the kind of clothing desired, and the sizes, must be forwarded to the Supplies Division Office, Director of Storage, Munitions Building, Washington, D. C. Any article of clothing issued to the soldier at the time of his discharge, including helmets and gas masks, may be requisitioned.

SHARKS OUT OF WATER
Government Puts Two of Them in Penitentiary for Shady Stock Dealing.
New schemes for inducing the investing public to part with its savings, its Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps in exchange for stocks of speculative or doubtful value constantly are being developed. One of the latest of these was disclosed recently in the trial of Ellsworth J. Green and his son, E. H. Green, at Oklahoma City. This particular scheme was the means of landing the Queens in Leavenworth Prison for five-year terms, but not until many hundreds of investors lost their savings.
The Greens, through the Great Western Guarantee Investment Company of Oklahoma City, promoted five oil companies. The original sales price of the stock in these companies was $1.00 a share, but by resale agreement purchasers were guaranteed that the Great Western Company as fiscal agent would resell the stock if desired at the end of six months to net the investor $2.00 a share or a profit of 100 per cent.
As the date to fulfill this agreement drew near, stockholders were advised that the price of the stock had reached $5.00 a share. Naturally if they came to believe the stock was worth $5.00 they declined to accept the opportunity to sell for $2.00.
For a time stock salesmen reaped rich commissions, but finally rumors that the reports were misleading began to spread. At a company banquet at Oklahoma City it was charged that the Greens attempted to sell out to the salesmen. At this point the government stepped in, arrested the promoters and began to unravel evidence which finally landed the Greens in prison on the charge of using the mails to defraud. Now the stockholders are attempting to save what is left of the assets of the companies.
Promises of profits of 100 to 500 percent made by stock promoters become realities. The country is being flooded with wild oil stocks by unaccounted investors. The resale plan of the Greens is only one of the many varieties of bait used. Any of these promoters are willing and anxious to take Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates in exchange for their bits of paper. They are perfectly willing to give premise of profits for the sure payment guaranteed by the federal government.
Investments in government saving securities and Liberty Bonds are safe, sure and profitable. The investor not only is guaranteed against loss, but he is assured that money so invested will go toward solving the economic problems with which all are faced and in making the country greater and more prosperous instead of seeing his savings go to provide luxuries and an easy living for dishonest promoters.
CELEBRATE ARMISTICE DAY.
Tenth District Asked to "Go Over the Top" Again for W. S. S.
"Going over the top," came to be a wartime habit in the United States just as it did with the doughbys in France. It is a hard habit to curb and in order to keep in practice the Savings Organization of the Tenth Federal Reserve District has launched a campaign which will give each community an opportunity to "go over" again on Armistice Day and thereby celebrate a year of peace.
Each community is given a very small quota through its banks, and investors are being urged to order from $100 to $1,000 in new Savings Certificates which bear the same interest and privileges as the War Savings Stamps, recognized by investors as the best security offered.
The campaign is intended, not only to raise a few millions for the government, but to give individuals an opportunity to receive a maximum return on small amounts of savings. Small investors may help subscribe the quota by purchasing War Savings Stamps at any postoffice.
Success in life depends more than anything else on "animated moderation," on a certain combination of energy of mind and balance of mind, hard to attain and harder to keep.—Walter Bagehot.
NICKELS TO FLIVVERS
(Dr. Burris Jenkins in Kansas City Post.)
Here is a news dispatch sent to the Post by J. W. Pattee, who serves The Post as correspondent at Smith Center, Kas.—that is, Mr. Pattee sent it as a news dispatch, but concealed between its lines there is such a wonderful text for a sermon on thrift that the contribution is being borrowed from the news department. But—You're beginning to wonder what this is all about, anyway, so go ahead and read:
"The Smith Center, Kas, Oct. 17—When the government first began making nickels with buffalo heads on one side, Mrs. G. P. Ehly of Mankato, Kas, started saving every buffalo nickel that came into her possession. She made a practice of dropping such nickels into a chute that ran from her kitchen to a wooden box in the cellar. A few days ago she took an invoice and found that she had 14,000 coins, aggregating $700. Her husband had long pined for a "fliver." Now he's got the "fliver."
Isn't that an impressive demonstration of the value of saving small things?
Doesn't it prove how easy it is for us to save money if we try?
Just figure, for a minute, what the result would have been if dimes had been used instead of nickels, or quarters instead of dimes? Moreover, while we are about it, let's estimate how many, many nickels, dimes and quarters we turn loose without getting anything tangible to show where the money went.
Remember now, it hasn't been so very many years since the first buffalo nickel was coined, and furthermore, bear in mind that the Kansas woman who amassed $700 worth of nickels did not handle any large aggregate of money from which to extract her small coin savings.
It all goes to show that we fritter away more money each year than we are aware of, unless we stop and take invoice of ourselves and our resources, and it further impresses upon us the truth of the old saying that it isn't so much what we make, as what we save that counts.
We were taught thrift during the war. Now that the war is over, suppose we practice what we learned about thrift, and let's extract a lesson from the example set us by the Kun sas woman.
FIGHTING THE H. C. OF E.
Economy Is a Point of View Just
as Extravagance Is.
The national bugaboo, the "H. C. of L." has become the "H. C. or E", the "E" representing "Everything," and numerous authorities have laid down tactics for fighting it. Among the best are those from the pen of Thomas L. Masson, appearing in the Country Gentleman, as follows.
"Economy in a household consists in minimizing the nonessentials. That is, economize in the things you don't need, and the things you do need will take care of themselves. Remember this: that if you are on the right road what you don't need today is often what you thought you must have yet terday. Economy is a point of view just as extravagance is. No matter who you are or what you do, you can get along on what you have and be happy. Those people who are always worrying about money are the ones who are always wanting things they don't need. Here are a few rules that members of every household should keep in mind:
"The more you want a particular thing the more you should wait until the day after tomorrow before getting it.
"Making an impression on others is often robbing the future; beside, in some mysterious manner everybody knows when you are doing things that you cannot afford.
"Pay the highest for the best, not the lowest for the worst.
"When you shrink from knowing where you stand you need a guardian.
"The things that money buys are incidental when you cannot afford to buy them.
"When you find it necessary to economize on having the right kind of good time, then there is something wrong with your system.
"Buy what you can't afford only when you can afford it."
THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 1. 1919.
illiteracy is reduced to almost zero. "Penniless when emancipated, the Negro owns today property worth over one billion dollars. He owns $800,000,000 in farm lands and equipment; over 20,000,000 acres of land, territory equal to the combined areas of Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. We have over 50,000 professional men and women, made up of lawyers, doctors, teachers and preachers. The Negro is religious. The value of church property owned by him today is over $75,000,000, consisting of over 33,000 churches, 175 schools connected with churches. All this was acquired by sacrifice. The Negro is God-fearing. It matters not how poor his surroundings, he is never forgetful of that. Supreme Power which guides the destiny of individuals as well as nations.
"Politically the Negro was betrayed in the house of his friends. From the times that Hayes took away the protection that hedged the way to the ballot box up to today he has been the innocent victim of wrong, oppression and injustice. Loyal to the party of Lincoln, he has incurred the wrath of those in the South who defy the Constitution, violate the laws and who have gone to the very depths of hell to find epithet strong enough to hurl against him and crimes black enough to destroy him. But with all he has been patient and has exercised for bearance. He realized that revolutions never go backward, that the darkest hour this nation ever had or ever will have preceded the Civil War; that the strong men and women of the land responded and banished slavery from our land forever.
"The Negro has been expectant that something would happen to quicken the conscience of the people who believe in the maintenance of our national ideals, although discouraged at the silence of the Church and other great leaders, on the lynching of Negroes, and the nullification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. When the world war came the Negro responded to the call of his country. Although finding it hard to enlist, he patriotically responded to the draft. No Negro was a conscientious objector. The cries of the ravished woman and orphaned children of France penetrated the gloom of his cabin in the South land and he responded over 200,000 strong, just a few thousand less than the white quota. He worked valiantly doing the hard labor of the war and fought with heroesism when given the opportunity. He suffered privations and was the only one of all the race groups in America whose loyalty was penalized by being subjected to "Jim Crow" methods, segregation and humiliation. In spite of all these, no Negro ever acted as a spy or committed an act of treason. He resisted the efforts of the Hun propaganda responded with his money to help if finance the war, and made a greater sacrifice than any other race group because for his handicaps.
"He has now returned and many will never return, because they have hailed the supreme sacrifice. Since they fought like men abroad they know that they are entitled to a man's chance at home. They feel that if they were an asset in war they can't be a liability in time of peace. Colored people are not resentful against the whites. The feelings of Colored people are sectional rather than racial, notwithstanding the statement of Prof. Moton, of Tuskegee, who misrepresents conditions while who is in no position to make such statements, when he puts the Negro in the North on the defensive, while as a matter of fact Prof. Moton knows that he speaks for conditions in the South, where the Negro is subjected to so much wrong and injustice. The relations of the two races in the North are apparently Colored people have their constitutional rights, right of trial by jury, protection of the law, administration of the law by honest, fair and fearless judges, a comparatively liberal and friendly press with few exceptions, a fair opportunity in the industrial fields which is getting better every day. He is gradually being admitted in the labor union on equiv terms. He is getting a fair wage and is saving money, buying property educating his children. Consequently the Negro who has the future of his race at heart is not advocating violence; the Negro is not an anarchist a Bolshevik or an I. W. W. The race riots so far have been started by the whites and colored men have simply defended themselves, which is a God given right
"We are called the inferior race, and yet we are urged to be patient and to forbear, which are the virtues of a superior race. If the Negro is left alone, treated justly, given his full constitutional right, given an opportunity to earn an honest day's pay, there eed be no occasion for race riots or racial animosities. We should remember that the sacrifices our men made abroad makes them keenly sensitive to wrong at home, and that, having faced death in France, they are willing to do the same thing at home rather than render a single right vouchsafed to them by law and the Constitution.
"The Colored people are 100 per cent American in their hopes, aspirations and ideas. Go to a Colored neighborhood; you will hear American spoken, see American customs and hear American music. We stay here during storm and stress. We do not make fortunes and take them to foreign lands, there to end our days. We stay here and bear our share of the burdens, and, in the language of Edward Everett Hale, 'No matter how we may be wronged or how unjustly we may be treated we must love our country as we would our mother.' And the Negro, when other men fall her or plot against her, will be found ever ready to sacrifice his life in her defense."
In giving to the Memorial and Allied Charities Campaign you are helping your own hospital, your own Old Folks, and Orphans' Home and the Provident Association that helps so many Colored people during the winter.

LEWISTOWN, MONT.
By J. H. Doniphan.
Perhaps a brief letter from this part of the Northwest might interest a few of your widely read and newy Journal readers. This is a beautiful and upto-date town containing many businesses and ornate buildings, large and small; many handsomely built residences, beautiful shade trees; street car service too slow for us denizens, autos are all the go. Just a few of the select walk and I flatter myself that I enjoy that style of locomotion. There are but a few of the
race here—about 40 but like most western towns, there are quite a few floaters. In a way, work is plentiful, not so many mining avocations to draw from. Wages are good when you manage to land a job and those who get these jobs, hang on like grim death, rarely resign and seldom die. ..Mr. and Mrs. John Tyler, former residents of Kansas City, Mo., are maling their home here. Their daughter, Mrs. Robert Robinson and husband reside in Belt, Montana, and are doing well. ..Mrs. Marguerite D. Burnell of Kansas City, Mo., spent several months here visiting her father, T. W. Doniphan. During her short stay, she made a few friends who were attracted to her on account of her urbane manners. She is a worthy product of the public schools of Kansas City, possessing a charming personality and a brilliant mind, a bright future is predicted for her. ..Mrs. Lottie D. Hall of Kansas City, Kansas, spent a portion of the summer here with her brothers, J. H. and T. W. Doniphan; she had spent the winter in San Francisco with her step-daughter, Mrs. Lola Santos. Both of the above mentioned ladies have returned to Kansas City. ..The people here are very friendly and extend a hearty welcome when you attend their churches or different places of pleasure or entertainments of whatever nature. Very little prejudice if any is shown.
A. M. E. MISSIONARY MEET
A. M. E. MISSIONARY MELT.
The 'quadrennial session Woman's Parent Mite Missionary held at Jacksonville, Florida, October 14-21, was largely attended. Amount raised during the Quadrennian was over $7,000.00. Mrs. Nora F. Taylor had for sale over a thousand dollars worth of needle work contributed by women of Africa, Bermuda and other islands and American branches. Mrs. A. B. Wortham brought in $374.00 from Sarah Tanner Memorial Fund; in the future this fund is to be divided among widows and orphans of foreign and home missionaries. A big missionary drive was planned with Mrs. R. C. Ransom of New York as leader. This will mean many thousands added to the missionary treasury if all the Mite women take hold of it as is hoped.
Important changes in the Constitution were five executive officers instead of three. Statistical Secretary—secretaries of young people's work—Sarah Tanner fund and Editor added to Executive Board. Ten cents is to be collected annually from each local Mite Missionary member and forwarded as Quadrennial contingent money. Part of money raised by young people's department will be used for training of Missionaries. Returned Missionaries present were Dr. J. W. Rankin, Secretary of Missions; Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Gregg, South Africa; Mrs. Emily Kinch, South Africa; Rev. May Trinidad; Mrs. Nora F. Taylor, Bermuda. Mrs. Kinch is author of a Mission text book on Africa and had a large collection of African souvenirs on exhibit. Convention Ode, written by Mrs. Nora F. Taylor and Woman's Missionary Hymn, written by Mrs. Katherine Tillman were sung. An effective solo was sung by Mrs. T. W. Greene of Kansas, Mrs. F. D. Wells, delegate S. W. Missouri; Mrs. K. D. Tillman, delegate North Missouri, and Mrs. Greene of Kansas served on important committee and in every way creditably represented their branches. Bishops Tyree and Hurst were present at each session, also wives of Bishop Saltee Johnson, Chapelle and Smith. Mrs. W. T. Vernon was a fraternal delegate; Mrs. Mary A. Handy presided with kindly dignity. The sermon was preached by Dr. Rankin; the Quadrennial sermon by Bishop Hurst; Young People's Mass Meeting on Sunday afternoon was held by Mrs. Bishop Smith and Mrs. Waddleton.
Sunday evening speakers were: Mrs. R. C. Ransom, "Civic Righteousness"; Mrs. K. K. D. Tillman, "The Hands of Missionary Clock"; and Mrs. S. G. Simmons, President P. H. & F. The election Monday afternoon was as follows: President, Mrs. Mary A. Handy; 1st Vice President, Mrs. Nora F. Taylor, Chicago; 2nd Vice President, Mrs. S. D. Houston, Florida; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Dovie King Clarke, Wilberforce; Assistant Secretary, Mrs. Jennie Day, Virginia; Treasurer, Mrs. B. K. Hurst; Statistical Secretary, Mrs. Sadie Anderson; Secretary Contingent, Mrs. E. H. Hunter; Secretary Young People's Department, Mrs. C. S. Smith; Editor, Mrs. K. D. Tillman, Kansas; Ex Board, Mrs. Mumford, Kentucky; Mrs. R. B. Brooks, Florida; Mrs. Janie Pope, Colorado; Mrs. E. J. Roberts, Philadelphia.
Tuesday evening a Quadrennial reception was tendered Bishop and Mrs. Hurst by the 11th Episcopal District and Mrs. Hurst was presented with a purse of $625.00 with many words of praise for their good work in Florida.
The visitors were highly pleased with Edward Waters College where Dr. J. A. Gregg presides over several hundred students. The new Centennial building with its large brilliantly lighted Auditorium would do credit to any campus. There is much talk in Florida of Dr. Gregg being made Bishop at the coming general conference. He and his good wife were uniring in their efforts to assist Dr. R. A. Grant and the good people of Jacksonville in caring for the Quadrennial. The session closed with an automobile trip to St. Augustine, thirty-eight miles from Jacksonville. Mrs. T. W. Greene, Mrs. F. D. Wells and the writer made profitable side trips to Tuskegee Institute where we were highly enlightened and instructed and to Nashville where Prof. Ira T. Bryant, builder of our famous A. M. E. Sunday School Publishing House and Dr. Julian C. Caldwell, League Secretary, with his charming wife, showed us this city of schools and churches.
