NEGR All Chu Buy Street NEGRO REPUBLICANS OF ST. LOUIS ADOPT RESOLUTIONS. At a meeting at Pythian Hall, held Wednesday night, the committee of nine, appointed at a previous meeting, made its report to the Citizens' Conference. The report was received with much enthusiasm and was unanimously adopted, which was as follows: TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CITI- ZENS' CONFERENCE: Your committee, heretofore appointed to draft plans and policies for the future action of the Conference, submits the following: We believe the result of the recent elections indicate widespread distrust of the Democratic Party, and the rapid growth in Missouri of sentiment hostile to the policies of the Wilson administration. We say with confidence that Missouri will cast its electoral MR. FRANK A. HARRIS the cultured and capable secretary of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. of this city who has unquestionably proven to be the right man in the right place. No stranger can come to Kansas City and meet Prof. Harris without realizing that he has found a friend, a warm sympathizer, and a splendid disposition. vote in 1920 for the Republican candidate for President and elect a Republican governor and state ticket, together with a Republican delegation in Congress. While optimistic in this regard, we also feel that we would be derelict in our duty if we failed to point out, in time to remove it, a danger apparent at the threshold of success, that in our opinion may impair complete victory. A coterie or so-called slate makers are holding conferences to select a ticket for the Republican primary, and according to statements made by them, the question of who will be the office holders has been determined—except, of course, the unimportant detail of approval by the voters of the Party. The Colored voters of the city have a representative on the Republican State Committee, from the 12th District, who has not participated in any of these conferences, nor as far as we have been informed, has any Colored man been invited to participate, who might speak and reflect the sentiment of the Colored voters on the questions of vital importance to the Republican Party of the State, regardless of the fact that the candidacy of some individuals, of the personnel of the ticket, may be objectionable to the Colored voters of the district and State. The Colored vote of Missouri at the next election will number more than 60,000 and without the aid of this support the Republican Party will be hopelessly defeated. We feel, therefore, that it is our duty to warn the responsible party leaders that if a Republican victory in Missouri is to be achieved next year, the candidates on the ticket must be of a type to insure the confidence and respect of the Colored voters, and that the plea of Party harmony will no longer be heeded to obtain continued subserviency to ward and district bosses, (whose only political asset in the past has been their so-called ability to exploit the Colored vote.) No man or set of men, controls the Negro vote. WANTED TO FIND—Miss. Inez Stacks whose last address was 160 Linden Ave., Memphis, Tenn.

MISSOURI GIRL WINS HIGH HON ORS AS TRAINED NURSE Mrs. Clyde Catherine Redd-Manley a graduate with high honors from the Provident Hospital of Chicago and now a resident of New York City where she was the youngest to take the examination and pass, receiving high marks, is a Missouri girl, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. O. T. Redd of this city and a former pupil of Mrs. W. T. Osborne. Mrs. Manley is here visiting her parents, she has been in the city one hundred and eight days, out of which time Sunday was her first night to remain at home with her parents. As soon as she reached the city, friends knowing of her great ability as a trained nurse, called her at once into service, so efficient has she done her work, ill she has been kept continually at the bedside of the sick. Though in her early twenties Mrs. Manley has done much to help others. She is educating a younger sister at Lincoln Institute and sup porting a little neice. She is widely known in the East as "The Great Little Trained Nurse." She has won for herself that same fame during her one hundred and eight days in Kansas City. Mr. Cornelius Rice of Denver, Colo., arrived a few days ago in this city to take up the study of art with his brother, Mr. R. J. Rice, 1015 Tracy avenue, who has the distinction of being one of Kansas City's most noted Negro artists. The Rice brothers are causing much comment among both white and black by the work they are now doing, putting out Colored dolls called the Brown Skin Kewpies. You will find these dolls on display at most every prominent Negro business place in the city: People's Drug Co., 18th and Paseo, White-Wood Drug Co., 19th and Vine. Dr. Theo, Smith's Drug Store, 18th and Tracy. Mrs. Hubbard's Millinery Store, 1607A East 18th Street. The Panamp, 1704$^2$ East 12th St. And by calling Bell phone Main 2016 you will be able to get in touch with Mrs. Rice, who will take your order and deliver promptly at your door'. These dolls can be purchased at any of the above places at a very reasonable price. The Rice Brothers are in hope that every race loving Negro in Kansas City will co-operate with them by having one or more of these beautiful dolls in their home and making their business a wonderful success. Kansas City should indeed be proud of this commercial art being done by these young men and let it be proven by giving them your hearty support. Little L. J. Blow, 1527 E.

E. Smith & Co., wholesale dry goods, at Twenty-fourth and Burcote streets. Seventy-five to 100 Colored girls will be employed in making boys' shirts, at the same wages received by girl workers in other factories. "Colored girls will no longer be limited to housework, laundry work and other menial work," said E. W. Cornell, superintendent of the M. E. Smith factory. "There is no reason why they cannot do needlework as well as white girls, although but few factories in the country employ them." The factory is expected to be in operation within a week. The Rev. William C. Williams, pastor of St. John's African Methodist church, suggested this factory as a means of securing more labor. "We have a waiting list of over 250 names," said the Rev. Mr. Williams,—Omaha Daily News. COL. YOUNG TO LIBERIA Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.—Col. Charles Young, U. S. A., retired, has been appointed as military attacher for the Republic of Liberia, upon the request of that government. Col. Young was formerly in Liberia, where he made an enviable record in behalf of military training. During the World War, he was stationed at Camp Grant, near Rockford, Ill., where he played an important part in training. There are many of his best friends who believe he should be promoted to Brigader General. BLUE TRIANGLE LEAGUE Pledges to the Blue Triangle League of the Y. W. C.

However, the spirit of the Girl Reserves was shown in the following way: Two of the Girl Reserves from the Douglass came over to the Y. M. C. A., with the anticipation of having a meeting; the Girl Reserves of the Booker T. Washington planned to continue their meeting at the home of one of the members and to meet at an earlier hour if school remained closed; five girls of Junior class of the Lincoln high school met at the Y. M. C. A., on Friday and held a business meeting; they also decided to continue their meeting; on the same day three of the Girl Reserves of the Wendell Phillips School came to the Y. M. C. A., desiring to have a meeting; Saturday, seven of the Girl Reserves of the Attucks school came to the Y. M. C. A., and had a discusional meeting, and expressed a desire to continue their meetings.

The betterment of social conditions for our race lies in the steerings of our ship toward a pointed goal. Never in history has the door of opportunity stood ajar more prominently than now. The non-visioned man or woman of today is the never-dwells of tomorrow. What matters if I am so far along in history that I may never see a Negro president of the United States? What matters that I have no postery's future to plan? Are we not our brother's keeper and the welfare of one's all? Social conditions then are to be met from my narrow point of view by a well beginning. We realize that in a bad beginning, a bad ending, there are some exceptions where the spiritual overcomes the physical but there is always the regret of wasted energy. It is a great point for young men and women to begin well; for it is in the beginning of life that, that system of conduct is adopted which soon coalesces into a force of habit. Begin well and the habit of doing well will become quite as easy as the habit of doing badly. Pitch upon that course of life which is the most excellent and habit will render it the most delightful. "Well be gun is half ended," says the proverbs and a good beginning is half the battle. Many promising persons have irrevievably injured themselves by a first false step at the commencement of life while others of less promising talents have succeeded by beginning well, and going onward. There are many now crawling through life wretched and the cause of sorrow to others who might have succeeded instead of satisfying himself with resolutions of well doing, he had actually gone to work and made a good practical beginning; with no thought of oratory or eloquence are these thoughts given, but if they will serve to awaken the genius within the race of to morrow it shall suffice. Mrs. Daisy McLain Bulkley of Camden, S. C., Field Secretary of the Woman's Home Missionary of the M. E. church is in the city visiting her cousin, Dr. S. E. Johnson, 1701 East 11th street. Since November 1st Mrs. Bulkley has been making "Thank Offering" addresses in the large white churches of Chicago, Des Moines, Detroit and other large towns and cities. She is leaving Saturday for Springfield, Mo., and will go from there to Hot Springs Ark., to attend the little Rock annual conference, after which she goes to Texas for the winter. Mrs. Bulkley is the only national officer of the Society who attended all of the twenty Four Regional Conferences held last winter and spring in centrally located cities of the East and Middle West. She would have made addresses at Centennial and other M. E. church but for the restrictions due to the fuel shortage. EXCEPTIONS. The Kaiser started well but ended badly, also John Barleycorn. Now Carranza seems to be starting well. The next edition will tell his end. JAZZ, RAGTIME, NEGROES From the London Telegraph. During the recent craze in London for jazz, no one who was anyone ever listened to it. if he could possibly help it, from a band that was not composed of men of color. White bands, of course, there were in plenty, and very good white bands, too, but somehow the music made by them did not seem quite the same thing. It was high-spirited enough, but it lacked the snap, the sparkle, the irresistible abandon which carried you away and set you jazzing as if there were nothing else in the world that was really worth doing. Now what is it that it seems to have made jazz peculiarly its own, and to throw itself into it with such extraordinary gusto? A friend who has studied the matter in odd intervals explains it thus: Our modern rague originally came from South America, and worked its way upwards through the Southern states. In its original form it was brought there by the Spaniards. They, of course, had been influenced by the Moors, and these Moorish rhythms struck a sympathetic chord in the unconscious memory of the Negro, and carried him back to his native Africa. It was something akin to the music of his forefathers the very music for which his being yearned. So he took it to his heart worked it up, developed it, played it and sang it wit a zest which white folk may be able to imitate or as sume, but which never somehow seems to fit them naturally. In order to play jazz really well you must also be prepared to play the fool. Now, a white man, on the whole is far too self-conscious to play the fool really well, especially as he gets on in years. And it is the truth that you cannot play the fool self-consciously without making a fool of yourself. Do it naturally, with a sense of whole-hearted enjoyment, and all is well. A note of artificiality kills the fun of the whole thing. There is no note of artificiality in the fooling of a Negro band. Nn English men could do it half so successfully, for the reason that it would not come naturally to them to throw themselves into all sorts of quaint and grotesque attitudes the while they dashed off the furious music at lightning speed. The Neros are real musicians, but this is the sort of music that appeals to them. It is like Lindy's singing, "sweater than the music of an educated band," and they are far more successful with it than they are with the "educated" pieces of European composers. And so it is, too, with their songs. Those which they obviously like the best, and, consequently, sing the best, are their own Spirituals, in which the element of the childlike is so strongly marked.' Songs such as "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray." "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho," and "It's Me, O Lord," have really very much in common with the songs of our own childhood, save, of course, that these are sacred, while ours are always secular. They have the same simplicity and the same almost meaningless inconsequence, but while we grow out of them the Negro does not. And they sing these artless songs with as much sincerity and delight as they display for the wildest rags, though, of course, with a strong appreciation of their mood. ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY MEET. The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the oldest organization in existence and the only international Collegiate Institution of Colored men in the world is completing its plans for the great general convention that it has ever held. This gathering will be its twelfth annual assemblage and will take place in the city of Chicago under the auspices of Theta Chapter, two sessions being held daily from December 27 to 31 inclusive. The evenings during the convention will be given over to entertainments, informal and formal receptions and an annual banquet.

S SPE Open A peed up T Again Traffic Sunday, November 30, was the 55th anniversary of the Second Baptist Church, Independence, Mo., and the 9th anniversary of Rev. J. B. Beckham as pastor of that church. The entire week preceding that date was celebrated by the members, a night each being given the following organizations: Sunday School, Miss Circle, Layman's League and on Thursday a dinner by the Church. On Anniversary Sunday, special services were held. At night special music was rendered by the choir and the pastor was most pleasantly eloquent on being presented with a diamond stud in appreciation of his nine years of service. Under the wise administration of Rev. Beckham this busy church enjoys the unique distinction of having no floating debts and no current expenses and when on its anniversary day $187.00 was contributed it was added to the fund to secure a pipe organ in the near future. pastor of St. John's A.

Dr. Williams has always been in the forefront in working to the advancement of his people along all lines. Dr. Burris Jenkins Points the Way For Cooperation and Service With the Street Railway Company. The recent experience of Toledo, O., in attempting to do without its street railway system ought to teach us a lesson of cooperation in Kansas City. The fares are going up, but so is everything else. It is idle to be forever knocking the street railway officials. It is worse than idle. It is dangerous to take a position of open hostility against the street railway system in any city. Toledo found that automobiles and汀neys were a broken reed on which to lean. They did not enjoy walking for three weeks. And they finally had to restore their street railway system. What is needed is for everybody, railway officials and the public in general, to work together in sympathy and understanding and try to solve perhaps the knottiest problem in municipal life today.—Wednesday Post. A dainty three-course dinner was served by Mrs. Sadie Holmes and Mrs. Wilma Johnson, December 6, at 6:00 o'clock at the home of their mother, Mrs. Virginia Armstrong, 1905 E. 16th Street.

CLARK SMITH GIVEN GREAT OVATION AT WHITE SPARROW. Musical Numbers Highly Entertaining A concert of unusual attractiveness was given under the auspices of the White Sparrows on last Sunday afternoon at the University church auditorium. The whole program was given by Colored people and they again demonstrated the ability of their race along musical lines. Maj. N. Clark Smith, musical director of the Lincoln High school of Kansas City and bandmaster and son leader of the high school cadets, U. S. A., gave a very interesting address on the "Elements of Negro Melody." Major Smith has traveled extensively in Africa and his address was listened to with great pleasure by the large audience of more than 5,000. "Steal Away" Charms. The first musical number was an arrangement of "Steal Away" by Major Smith, sung by an octet composed of Ethel Bowmer and Aurora Brooks, soprano; Colleen Jones and Mattie Woods, altos; Shelton and Ernest Knox, tenors; George Mason and Emmet Burger, bassos. This number was given a beautifully artistic rendition, the voices blending well and while we expect this particular song to be well sung by Colored people, the reading of it yesterday afternoon was unusually good and brought forth much applause. Later in the program they sang two other great favorites, "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" and "Suwanee River." The former made a fitting close to the afternoon program. Pianists Pleasing. Two pianists appeared, Claude Le Roy Glass, a former West High graduate of the New England conservatory of music now instructor in Western university of Kansas City, Kan. Mr. Glass played a funeral march composed by Major Smith, displaying a fine music intelligence and an excellent technique. The march was played with much dignity. Malcolm Griffith, a student at Drake conservatory, besides playing the accompaniments, played the "Scenes From an Imaginary Ballet," by the celebrated Negro composer, Coleridge-Taylor. He gave a good account of himself and received liberal applause. Prof. Clyde L. Glass, pianist, demonstrated the various themes discussed by Major Smith. An offering was taken for the memorial to the late Frederick Douglas, who Major Smith says gave him his first inspiration to make a scientific study of Negro folk music. This affair was arranged by Mrs. S Joe Brown a trustee of the Frederick Douglass memorial committee, to which the proceeds from this went—Des Moines Register.

Jr A series of articles on our National capital would hardly be complete without a word on its educational system. Like that of Missouri, it has a dual system, separate schools. However, unlike that of Kansas City, it more nearly affords similar accommodations for the Colored as for the white pupil. In the first place, there is a proportionate number of Colored members on the Board of trustees, one of the assistant superintendents is Colored. All of the Supervisors are Colored for the Colored schools. At present a special committee is preparing for congress, a plan of readjustment of the system to present conditions in the most economical and at the same time efficient way. In the advance of tentative schedule, ample provision is made to safeguard the interests of Colored pupils commensurate with those of the white Space does not allow even excerpts from this report. The Washington Colored population is one-third, a trifle over 100,000. The city affords for it a normal school, a vocational, a manual training and an academic high school. These four secondary schools are up-to-date. The first and the last are among the show places of the capital. Besides these exceptional advantages there is the far-famed Howard University and Colored students have access to the Catholic University. It is no unusual thing for a high or normal school teacher to secure a leave of absence and spend a year of study in Germany, France or Italy. In an address to the returned overseas men under the auspices of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational church recently Superintendent Bruce sketched in his facile, pointed and convincing manner the program for post war education in which the practical must be founded upon the ideal or else the fate of Germany will involve Like Rev. Holmes of the Metropolitan Temple of Kansas City, Kansas, the churches of Washington throw upon their doors to extension work and week one can get an intellectual treat at the 18th street Presbyterian church John Wesley. A M. E. Zion or the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Here every Tuesday night in the winter sea con Bethel Literary has for years instructed and entertained Washington.

Hershaw was making an appealing plea for a broader education in order that we may be less at the mercy of the demagogue and foster pure American ideals. MANHATTAN, KANSAS. Rev. J. L.

Malachi: The last of the prophets to the restored remnant after the 70 years' captivity, probably prophesied in the time of confusion in Nehemiah's absence (Neh. 13:6.) The burden of his message is the love of Jehovah, the sins of the priests and of the people and the day of the Lord. Malachi, like Zachariah, sees both advents, and predicts two forerunners (Mal. 3:1 and 4-5:6). As a whole, Malachi gives the moral judgment of God on the remnant restored by His grace under Ezra and Nehemiah. God had established His house among them, but their worship was a mear form and not sincere. The book of Malachi is in four natural divisions: (1) The love of God for Israel, 1:1-5; (II) The sins of the priests rebuked, 1:6-2-8; (III) The sins of the people rebuked, 2:10-3-18; (IV) The day of the Lord, 4:1-6.) But we are chiefly concerned with coming of the Messenger before that great and terrible day of the Lord. God would not send that terrible day upon the world until He send His Messenger to warn the world. "Even the Messenger of the Covenant, whom ye delight in, behold, he shall saith saith the Lord of Hosts." The Messenger of the Covenant, Glorious Messenger of a most precious Covenant. Covenant after covenant had been given to the world. They paved the way this new covenant of grace, which was to be established upon better promises and milder propositions. These covenants were often broken, and trampled under foot. The race had wandered far from God. The world had lost her love for truth, and her hopes of holiness. Her saints were without sanctity; her heroes without honor and her poor without protection. Her power was fast waning, with the loss of faith, for her wisest men were denying facts and following fables. The tombs and temples of Egypt, the philosophy of Greece, the splendores and luxuries of Babylon, with the golden eagles and conquering legions of Rome, could never bring back or restore her departed power, or bring back her wanted glory, no, no, no. She must wait the coming of the Messenger of Mercy. The ushering in of glad tidings to the world must be reserved for the Messenger of the covenant of grace. The honor of lighting up the dark world with the joys of a golden age, must be awarded to one mighty in power, and surpassing in glory all the great and good of earth. The Coming of the Messenger. The heavenly Messenger came at last, with his wonderful message of salvation by grace opened a door of hope to those who were driven to the very verge of despair, and directed all the thirsty to the Fountain of Living-water, and the Highway of Holiness, leading up to heaven, and God. The calm, sweet voice of the Merciful Messenger sound out over the troubled ocean of life, and his hopeful words quell the fear of all hearts, and led the multitudes on through the drifting clouds of doubt and despondency, into the light and liberty of a living faith in Jesus Christ. The Voice of the Messenger is Still Heard. The stream of time is still coursing its way down through the centuries and as the currents of human life ebb and flow upon its shores, many watchmen upon the walls of Zion., by the authority of the Messenger of the Covenant, are still inviting dying men and women everywhere to pass through the gate, the open gate of mercy, and walk the golden-paved streets of the New Jerusalem. Behold I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the Messenger of the Covenant whom ye delight in, behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts. But who shall abide the day of his coming? Who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap. He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. MT. PLEASANT BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. J. R. Richardson, Pastor. The Bible Class was well attended and the discussion of the lesson was taken up with interest....This being the first Sunday in the month, we had our Communion Service immediately after our morning service, which was conducted by the pastor, who preached a soul stirring sermon to the delight and enjoyment of all present....We had a spiritual covenant meeting during the administration of the ord's Supper. We have not been having any of our weekly meetings on account of the fuel administrations orders....The Sunday School was well attended and the teachers, officers and pupils all seemingly had their hearts in the work....The Mission Circle is still doing a great work and are asking that all the sisters of the church join and help in the good work....The Mothers meeting is one of our very best auxiliary branches of church work and appeals for the hearty co-operation of each mother in the church. We are now selling tickets for a hog and a pair of diamond earrings. The brother that sells the most tickets will be given the hog, while the sister that sells the most tickets will be given the diamond earrings. Quite an interest is being taken in the contests as both are desirable articles....We were pleased to see many familiar faces at service Sunday that we have not seen for some time....The evening services were well attended. The contribution for the day was very good....We expect to move to our new church in the very near future "THE SMARTER SET." No Colored organization has created such enthusiasm during the past few seasons as has "The Smarter Set," better known as "The Smart Set," and headed by the well known comedians, Salem Tutt Twitley and J. Homer Tutt, and which will be the attraction at the Auditorium the week of the 21st. "The Sharter Set" will offer a new and original musical comedy entitled "The Children of the Sun," in two acts and ten scenes, and is adapted from the historical book of the same title by Geo. Wells a Prker, which contains sufficient amount of patriotism injected into action of the play to arouse sentimental enthusiasm. The story tells of the successful tour of archaeological research, by Deah Kelly Miller of the Howard University at Washington, D. C., where he has discovered valuable records, which will establish the antiquity of the Negro Race. The musical program is one out of the ordinary, and includes the following specially written numbers, "Dear Old Dixie Home," "Come and Dance With Me," "Travelin' We're Travelin'!" "M. Jazz and Mrs. Blue," "Land of Love," "Women, They all go for Mine." "Something About You I Like." "Soon We'll Be Sailing." "Cherry Blossoms," "Harm Jazz." "What's the Use" and "Hail the Children of the Sun." Far Worse "There is witchery in moonlight." "And even more diabolical influences in moonshine." Conditional. "Can I visit my aunt this summer, Robert?" "Not unless I first visit my 'uncle.'" Plenty of That. "Is Helen's husband rich?" "In matrimonial experience; she's his third wife." On the Links. "Hasn't Jones an odd way of putting things?" "Yes; especially golf balls." The New Way. "She is working hard fishing for compliments." "But not with bated breath." No Melba. "Harry clapped his hands when I was singing." "Over his ears." Life Vs. Existence. "Where do you live now, Joe?" "No place; still boarding at the same house." Expression Defined. "Pa, when is a man a confirmed liar?" "When nothing he says can be confirmed, my son." A Jazz Headline. Hub (reading headline)—Solons Bold Pact; Rap Japs. Wife—What it is it, dear—Esperanto to? The Home of the Bean. Knicker—Boston was once a state of mind. Bocker—Now it is a state of won't mind.

Only a few were present but the Holy Spirit was manifested in our presence. So in answer to the many inquiries as to why the church was dark at night, I wish to call your attention to the word "Be ye subject to higher powers and as a leader I say to you as it is given to me." "Watch If God be for us he is more than all the world against us" and we hold that the Lord will fight for us and we shall hold our peace; then let us not get in a hurry but wait on the Lord and we shall have the desires of our heart. Christ said, "I have spoken these words unto you that in me you might have peace for in this world you shall have tribulations, but be of a good cheer."

One of the most surprising pieces of news that has come lately from Russia is that in spite of untoward political conditions an ambitious campaign of survey work in the Arctic ocean along the Siberian coast was undertaken in the summer of 1918 under the direction of the Russian hydrographic office. A program of these undertakings was published last November in the Compte Rendus of the French academy of sciences by the widely known oceanographer, Gen. J. G. Shokalski, who is still in Petrograd, so far as known. Subsequently General Shokalski has found means of sending letters on the same subject to some of his scientific friends in the United States. The explorations were to be carried out by two parties. One, working from the White sea eastward to Cape Chelyunski, was to be under the command of Captain Vikitskik, the discoverer of Nicholas II Land and the leader of the expedition which made the northeast passage from Bering strait to the Atlantic ocean in 1914-15. Another party, surveying from Cape Chelyunski to Bering strait, was to be commanded by Capt. P. A. Novopashnenni, Several new radio stations were to be established to facilitate the work of the expeditions.-Scientific American. TRACTOR WON'T JUMP FENCES Some of the Arguments in Favor of Its More General Use—Will Not Bite, Balk, or Run Away. Some of the many arguments in favor of the tractor are given as follows in Farm Life: It will not bite, balk or run away. It will not shy at a loose scrap of paper in the road. It will not kick the stall all night and keep the tired farmer and his wife awake. It will not crib the manger. It will not break out of the barn at night, jump the fence and eat your neighbor's cabbages. It will not lie down in a particularly moist spot in the barnyard, roll over on its back and elevate its four feet into the air. It does not have to be curried, sponged off or treated with horse liniment. It is not addicted to colic, cough, heaves, spainin or wind-gall Madame E. Neff Barber For first treatment $1.00.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. The Colored Press is called on to do more without pay than any other enterprise of the Colored Race. A large number of people think that Colored newspapers can live on "free doings." Lovers of classics difficult to obtain, will also be interested to know that Prevost's "Manon Lescaut" and Dauets's "Sapho" have also been added to the Modern Library. Both of these fascinating novels are included in a single volume. All discharged Colored soldiers, sailors, their wives, children, dependents, beneficiaries and friends will write Lieut. L. Williams Clifford, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C., on all matters concerning allotment and allowance, compensation and death claims and insurance. All letters will receive prompt and personal attention. "Men in War" by Andreas Latzko which was suppressed in this country for a time during the war on account of its vivid and realistic description of what war does to its participants and which was hailed at the time of its publication by Boni & Liveright as one of the two greatest books produced by the war, has also been added to the Modern Library. It is considered a poignant, thrilling and terrible portrayal and indictment of war. Oscar Mischauex's wonderful new picture, "Within Our Gates," which will undoubtedly rival any preachment picture ever produced, is now before the Chicago Board of Censors, Mr Mischauex is the producer of "The Homesteader," an unusual picture which developed nation-wide popularity. The new picture deals with the present unrest of the races in America, showing things as they exist, and suggests a remedy. A beautiful romance is carried throughout the picture. GOVERNOR GARDNER ACTS. That the delegation of Ministers who were sent to Jefferson City last week obtained results relative to the recent lynching at Moberly, Mo., is evidenced by the following letter received by the Rev. Dr. W. E. Shaw of this city, secretary of the committee. It is as follows: "My Dear Dr. Shaw:—The Governor has addressed a letter to the Prosecuting Attorney of Randolph County urging a thorough investigation of the recent lynching and has also officially ordered the attorney general of the state to assist the prosecutor of the county in making a complete and sweeping investigation and bring before the bar of justice all those who violated the law. The Governor has always taken a strong stand for law and order and you will find Doctor, from examination of the records that there have been very few lynchings of either white or Colored in this state. For the Governor. S. V. BAXTER, Private Secy.7 THE PRESIDENT—THE CONGRESS THE HOUR OF TRIAL AT HAND. The annual message of the President of the United States is before the Congress. Again—as again and again the nothingness of our particular group is emphasized. The year has been filled with the most dangerous and delicate happenings, the bitterest of feeling and the most atrocious acts in the history of the nation, so far as we, 15,000,000 are concerned; and yet, it has not been regarded sufficient for the President to make even a direct veiled allusion to the need of immediate co-operative adjustment. Our position is akward and humiliating, but it is insistent and just Presidents and Congressess, year after year, have ignored, sidetracked and "passed the buck" in matters affecting our constitutional rights. Arthur Brisbane, noted philosopher and journalist, in a recent "Today" expression stated that the cause of unrest is due to the fact that the War has taught the people to THINK, that in the last five years there has been more REAL THINKING than in the twenty-five previous years. That applies very particularly to our group. We are now a thinking people and we know that we know. We have spent a half century "Praying" and "Requesting" and have slipped backward in the march of progress. Today we are assuming the prerogatives of full fledged manhood and we are "demanding" and "acting". The results even in so short a time, are gratifying. DR. M. D. BROOKS recently an interne at the Old City Hospital announces that he has opened offices with Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins at 1509 E. 18th street. His phones are Clifton 495. MARK COURT —That truth and a woman's age are not on speaking terms. —That a quart of whisky and a tor of coal cost the same. Which would you rather have? —That the dude with the B. V. D.s and low-cut shoes is borrowing time from the undertaker. Oh, shut up. —That when it comes to courage in speaking out for what you want, Rev. J. W. Hurse is there. We say he is. —That the individual who is really doing something in our race may expect many "knocks" from the "pee-wee" class of the race. —That married women in India are marked with a spot in the middle of their foreheads between the eyes. If the custom was adopted in this country, perhaps the men wouldn't make so many blunders. —That the Negro who really appreciates a Negro Journal to give him the news of his people and to fight the battles of the race will surely really now in these times of stress and difficulty on the part of the poor newspaper publishers and not only renew his subscription and pay it but get his friends also to do so. That's the stuff. —That it's really pitiable to read the Want Ad Columns of The Star. All the Help Wanted ads are for white women and all the Situation Wanted ads are paid for by Negro women. The Star makes more money off the Negroes begging for jobs than the Sun gets for all its advertisements. Brace up and get a job and stop groveling. —That a brother was telling his "experience" in class meeting not long ago and said: "Bruddern and Sisters, I got a home in heaven. Do you heath me? Ise got a home in heben all filled up with beautiful furniture and gold streets in front of de doah and music all roun' me. Ise got a home in heben, but altho I git along pohly in dis unfriendly world I want you to know I'm not homesick." —Call West 389 or West 4422. Miss Melissa E.

Nolan, 344 Greely Ave., Kansas City, Kan., one of the best known women in Missouri, three times Grand Most Ancient Matron of the Heroines of Jerico of this State and Past Grand Chief Preceptress of the Knights of Tabor and wife of Mr. Taylor Nolan best known railroad porter in America who for more than fifty years has been with the Burlington system, passed away at the family residence and was buried at Glasgow, Mo. Tuesday, December 2. Mrs. Nolan was born in Strathayo, Ontario, Canada, March 30, 1848, was educated in the schools of Canada, was converted in the Protestant faith in 1864 and joined the A. M. E. Church in 1865 under the late Rev. H. H. Tripplett. She leaves two sisters, one of which is Mother Superior Mary Francis who has charge of all boys' schools in Cuba and America and Mrs. Carey of Detroit, Mich. She has been a member of the church for fifty-four years and her name was a household word in fraternal and religious circles in the West. Her body was accompanied to Glasgow by the Rev. J. F. Griffen, pastor First A. M. E. Church, Kansas City, Kan., who officially at the funeral services as sisted by the Rev. W. T. Osborne of Kansas City, Mo. There were also accompanied by Mrs. Sadie Dimery and Miss Mattie Davis. Mr. Nolan wishes to thank his many friends, neighbors, and fraternal societies who assisted in rendering various kindnesses during the long illness and at the death of his wife. The Sun extends its deepest sympathy. ORATION DELIVERED BY COL. T. B. J. ROBINSON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, AT FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH, 17TH AND TRACY AVE., AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICES OF THE LATE RICHARD GORDAN, FOUNDER OF THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM. S. G. K. Other Officers and Members, Ladies and Gentlemen: In 1843, away back in the State of Old Virginia, in Culpeper County, there was born to Isiah and Angeline Gordon a child, and they named him James Richard Gordon. His childhood days were spent in that commonwealth. Later they immigrated to Old Imperial, Missouri, where in after years he chose Kansas City as his permanent home. He professed a hope in Him who presides over the destinies of mankind. For a number of years, he was deacon of the Second Baptist Church under the pastorate of the late Henry Robinson. Being an aggressive citizen he began to cast about to do something for the uplift of his people. Pausing at this juncture he began to think along fraternal lines. He was then inducted into the Masonic order into the Knights and Daughters of Tabor: into the Knights of Pythias, into the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten. Last but not least, he reached the apex of his sainted life when he founded the order to be known hence forth and forever as the Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem. On September 12, 1912, he was called away and his remains now rest out yonder in Highland Cemetery. This afternoon our 12 councils, other aux- Do You Want Long Hair? Bell Phone Wabash 1346J.

Three immense centuries—three hundred terrible but expressive years pregnant with the striving of a repressed people—have spent themselves. Therefore, it is particularly important that at this point we should pause, reflect, and survey by detailed inquiry the long drear past. For is not an idealized past a refuge and a soace of the spirit? Our group, above all, must not lose a consciousness of those sacred values which are born with tradition. Some notion, more or less clear and explicit, of our contribution to society, crossed and blurred most assuredly by an ignorant depreciation of our people, is needed as an anchorage of our faith. We live, we struggle, and we fight, but men revile us, because they are blinded by the passion of hate. Baseless charges of every description, founded on an imperfect knowledge of us and an inability to perceive our deeper qualities must give place to the unyielding persistence of the type of men and women who make up the Inter-State Literary Association. Our Association convenes at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Wichita, Kansas, December 29, 30, 31. We hope to make this session the grandest and largest meeting of our existence, for this is our Tercentenary celebration. Is this not worthy of your support? Share with us the joys and the responsibilities of this venerable institution. The Executive Committee has planned many innovations. A special essay contest will be held, and a prize of $5.00 is offered for the best paper limit (1000 words) on "Effects of Slavey on the American Colored Man." Manuscripts must be in the hands of the Secretary not later than December 15. Prizes will be offered, as usual, for original music, Declamation, Poetry and Oratory. The presidents of the Race Colleges in the Missouri Valley will be present and address the meeting. RULES: Literary Societies, Art Clubs, Church Choirs and other uplift organizations are eligible for representation. Representation consists of three members and three alternates from each society, which may have one number on program. Papers will be limited to ten minutes. Program numbers should be in the hands of the Corresponding Secretary by December 1st. FEES: Societies representing in 1917 will pay the usual fee of $1.00; new societies, $1.50. Board and lodging may be had at minimum prices. If you have no literary society, organize one. Mr. E. J. Hawkins of Fort Scott, Kans., has been elected State Lecturer. The following subjects will be discussed: 1. The advent of Pro-Americans. 2. Slavery and its sorrows—lesson: good or bad. 3. War: Its revelations. 5. The 2nd Reconstruction: New Vision of race 6. Future: Challenge. For further information, address: Mrs. W. W. Caldwell, 2432 Vine street, Kansas City, Missouri. HOWARD LINCOLN IN TIE.
