NUMBER 19. STAI Walter S REV. RICHA EDWARD WILMOT BLYDEN. The 19th Century's Foremost Negro Scholar. By Wm. H. Dawley, Jr. Modern historians and especially magazine writers have rarely refrained from sounding the impression that the native African was content with the food, shelter and raiment furnished by nature; that he had neither the impulse nor the inclination nor the REV. F. D. WELLS. The popular pastor of the A. M. E Church at Sedalia, Mo., who has sent us a "whole raft", of new subscribers. Thanks Dr. Wells we appreciate it. desire for any industrial or trade activity and responded to no higher activity than to be a hewer of wood and drawer of water and only to that under compulsion. At the student convention recently held in Des Moines, Iowa, three Native Africans sounded a loftier note according to a Kansas City daily quoting the Des Moines Register. One, the Rev. Isaac Steady, Jr., a theological student of Yale, declared that Africa needed native business enterprises and proposes to start a 5 and 10 cent store at his home in Sierra Leone, Liberia. If the quotation is correct the knowledge even of civilized Africa is in Missouri; another Wm. Masumba of Cape Town, South Africa an agricultural student of the University of Minnesota proclaimed the field for expert Negro farmers. The third Miss Amanda Mason of Liberia, student at Wilberforce, O., appealed touchingly to American Negroes of character, education and small means to come to Africa to teach their brethren the things of the best civilization. Unquestionably the most erudite and diversified scholar in the 19th Century was from Liberia. He was born in St. Thomas, August 3, 1832, then of the Danish West India Islands, of pious parentage. At the age of ten years, his father moved his family to Zemerula for two years and he learned the language. On returning to St. Thomas the boy was apprenticed for five years to a tailor with the privilege of attending school in the foremonde. That was before 1850 in a West India Island. We have introduced the plan with great ecstat as new. The instigation of Rev. John P knox a Presbyterian minister whose wife was returning to the United States/ the youth came to this country to prepare for the ministry. Hear his words and note the part that woman, man's inspiration and guiding angel took in it. "I found however, the deep-seated prejudice against my race, exercising so controlling an influence in the institutions of learning, that admission to them was almost impossible. Discouraged by the difficulties in my path, I proposed to return to St. Thomas and abandon the hope of an education when I received a letter from Mrs. Knox so full of interest in my welfare and so urgent that I should still strive to become fitted for usefulness in the Christian ministry and render my life useful in Africa, that I relinquished my purpose of returning to my parents. I decided to accept the offer of the New York colonization Society to furnish me passage to Liberia, in the hopes to enjoy the advantages of the Alexander High School, then beginning its noble work at Monrovia the capital of the Republic." He came to Liberia, entered the school and learned Latin and Greek and from the outside in his sare time Hebrew. In 1858 he was put in charge of the Alexander High school, ordained by the West African Presbytery The Kansas City Sun R 19. Entered as second-class matter, August — 1908, at the postoffice at Kansas City, Mo., under the act of March 2, 1879. S. Dickey ARD DAVIS' I and in 1861 retired to accept the pro- fessorship of Greek and Latin in Liberia College. In 1871 he resigned this professorship. In 1864 he was appoint- ed Secretary of State and in 1867 he made a journey East visiting Egypt and Syria mainly to study Arabic to introduce into the College curriculum. After resigning the chair of Greek and Latin, he made a brief visit to Europe, then spent two years in Sierra Leone and was sent by the Governors on two diplomatic missions too powerful chiefs of the interior. They were successful. In 1877 he was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic at the Court of St. James and was received by Queen Victoria July 30, 1878. Then began his association with Marquis Salisbury, Lord Brougham, Dean Stanley, Charles Dickens and Mr. Gladstone. Two years later he was elected Fellow of the American Philological Society. He was an exceptionally versatile linguist being the master of more than a dozen languages and an unsurpassed Arabic scholar. He died February 7, 1912. The book on which is fame rests is Christianity, Islam and the Negro, from which may I reproduce a few quotations: "The Mohammedan Negro has felt nothing of the withering power of caste. There is nothing in his color or race to debar him from the highest privileges, social or political to which any other Muslim may attain." Modern Europe boasts of intellectual activity but none can equal life and freshness, the Greek and Roman prime. No modern writers will ever influence the destiny of the race to the same extent the Greeks and Romans have done." Christianity, then failed in North Africa and a people was brought from a distance, of a race cognate with the African, whose social sympathies and foreseeing, and discriminating laws as to food and drink and other matters, supported as they believed by Divine sanction, supplied elements for the preservation of the natives. No Negro can read Edward Wilmot Blyden's Christianity. Islam and the Negro without feeling that the Negro is one of God's chosen men; no Caucasian can read it without confession that no single race enjoys a monoply of intellect. At 30 Blyden declared: "I believe Nationality to be an ordinance of nature; and no people can rise to an influential position among the nations without a distinct and efficient Nationality. Cosmopolitanism has never effected anything and never will perhaps until the Millenium." That maxim though not acknowledged at the White House stands the test today.

COLUMBIA, MO. By Mrs. J. Z. Moseley ALFRED SAMUEL Mr. Gamble is furnishing the famous 14 piece Jazz Band for the Liberty Theatre, 11and Main streets that is featuring "In Old entucky" at that popular play house this week. That they are giving imminent satisfaction is evidenced by the wave of applause by which they are greeted all along the route of their parade, and they are playing that class of music that makes 'em come to the doors, stick their heads out of the windows and set their blood to tingling. Mr. Gamble is an old musician and in his former home, Mexico, Mo., organized one of the best bands in the State. He has been an instructor of ability for more than 25 years, and since coming to Kansas City has assisted in raising the musical standard to a high state of efficiency among our musicians. Mr. Gamble is married and his charming and cultured wife is the present Royal Grand Matron of the Order of Eastern Star of Missouri. They are both a valuable asset to the musical and fraternal circle of Kansas City. GARY NEW MECCA. GARY NEW MECCA. Gary, Indiana. The recent steel strike which centered around the great steel mills of Gary has proven a blessing in disguise for those of the Race who live here as well as those in other sections of the country who have been looking for a place to establish homes where they might find a cordial welcome, plenty of employment with an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of their labor and the pursuit of happiness in their own way. Gary is the wonder city of America. Just a trifle over ten years ago it was only a great stretch of sand af the foot of the Great Lakes. The steel interests decided to locate there, its mammoth plants and almost over night, as it were, a modern, up-to-date city sprang into being, twenty-seven miles south of Chicago, and forty-five minute ride from State street. One hundred thousand people now five in Gary, twelve thousand of them being members of the Race, a large number owning their own homes and because of the good wages paid in the mills (said to run from $5.16 to $23.00 per day, the latter being earned by several expert Colored 'rollers'), they are accumulating rapidly and form a substantial part of the community. There are of our group, two schools, ten churches, a dentist, five physicians, three lawyers, one bank, a drug store, four groceries, a newspaper, four hotels and many other business enterprises. Real estate values have increased very rapidly in Gary. Millions have been made and are being made in providing homes for the thousands who come here to work. One of the men who has grown immensely wealthy in Gary is David Glueck, one of the largest real estate operators in the city, who is particularly interested in the progress of our people and many here refer to him as a second Julius Rosenwald. Mr. Glueck is head of the David Glueck Realty Company, 1704 Broadway, owning numerous subdivisions of lots for building purposes, as well as a great deal of improved property with flats and houses of various kinds on it. Much of his money has been made from homes sold to our people and he is said to feel it only just that he do what he can to advance our cause. He therefore is arranging to dispose of one-half of his company with its great holdings to Race men. They will comprise the entire board of directors and govern the affairs of the company. Messrs. Hueston and Calloway of the law firm of Hueston-Calloway of Kansas City, Mo. J. B. Golden, one of the most successful real estate salesmen of our group, Mr. T. B. Watkins, undertaker of Kansas City, Dr. W. Bailey, Mr. J. P. Cooper, Mr. H. B. Moore, Mr. Richard A. Lamb and several other prominent Chicago citizens are said to be interested in the matter. Mr. Hueston expects to establish a branch office for his firm and can be reached at 1704 Broadway, care of David Glueck Realty Company. QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Sedalia, Mo. Rev. F. D. Wells. Pastor. Quinn Chapel is indeed taking on new life. The Pastor and Officers have divided the church into eight classes instead of three.

The Stewardesses Boards one and two meet in joint session on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 3 p. m. The ladies render a splendid program at each meeting. Rev. Henry B. Brown, B. D.

Father Brown gave a very interesting talk to the ladies in which he gave in brief a description of his native land (Jamaca). The ten tribes reported $301.00 on the third Sunday in December. We have had ten conversions and additions since New Years. Our revival will start on the 26th of the month. We are planning to begin work on the new building early in the spring.

O. ery & Jea ST EVER SEEN O.P. ealousy EEN HERE Go to Liberia young men, a land that gives freedom to black people. Liberia wants young men well versed in farming, mining, railroad buildings and all of the arts and sciences necessary to run a modern Government. Go, and we shall fill your purse with money, load your ship with farm implements, plenty clothes and food—Go as a vanguard of freedom for the American Negro. When you do, it MR. RUCKER SMITH. Recognized as the leading authority on Africa in the West. Have you read his book? will be the greatest day ever dawned for the black race. The laws of this country give the Negro "the rights of men," but public sentiment, says "no," you belong to another race, therefore it is unreasonable for us to accept you as our brother and neighbor. You must accept the lowly place we assign you, or go to the land we have secured for you: There you can be absolutely free." Shall we go? Young men this is the verdict of a great race, a race that conquers and whose will is law. Young men of our race, what are you doing to do? To allow your feeling to be worked up to the point of hatred won't solve the problem, to hate is degrading. To stay here is to suppress every manly principle. You must submit to this inexorable law, and in yielding you shall become great. You shall be known as race builders. As the onward rush of invention grips us and causes us to hurry to keep pace, our minds and mode of living must change. It becomes necessary to change our location sometimes, even governments are made anew; it is human. It is in obedience to the inevitable law of the Negro is considered by man, without a parallel; we all, do not hold the same views as to what is progress. One's views are to largely governed by when and where we are born. An ex-slave might consider being free to go and come as he chooses progress; his son would naturally, not having been a slave, the grandfather, and father never dreamed of; so it shall go on until there shall be no question as to what to do to have a full grown man's share of freedom. In the last few years the Southern Negro has rebelled against the injustice and brutal oppression of the Southland and come north. What for? Seeking the very thing all men love, and have died for, more freedom. He knew that he could not get his full share of freedom in the North, because the white man rules there too, but with less severity. It is said of the Negro "that down through the ages, the deadly drippings from the Upas tree of Chattel slavery have poisoned his very being," but he is awakening and will soon go to his own country, Liberia.

DICKEY—LEADER. The attempt of a handful of would-be politicians to humiliate Walter S. Dickey merits and will meet the supreme disapproval of the Real Republicans of Kansas City, Jackson County and Missouri, and the only creditable thing about the gang packed fiasco that took place in the fourth ward the other night is that they labeled themselves Independent Republicans because they can't be loyal Republicans who have the best interests of that party at heart and attempt to assassinate politically such an upstanding, loyal and commanding figure in the Republican party for the past quarter of a century as Walter S. Dickey has been. Old line Republicans remember that the most signal and sweeping victories the party has won in forty years were under the intrepid and brilliant leadership of Mr. Dickey. What has Homer Mann, Ingraham Hook, Solon T. Glmore, A. I. Beach and that sheet that has ever sown discord in Kansas City politics and has never elected a candidate—the Kansas City Star; done for the Republican party in comparison with Walter S. Dickey. The Sun has no brief to defend Mr. Dickey but for thirty years its Editor in an humble way has taken part in Republican politics in this community and knows something of the work and worth of the men who have been in the lead in that organization, and it fully believes that the party will regret the day when it allows a handful of self-willed personal aggrandizement politicians to humiliate a true and tried leader like Walter S. Dickey. Do they think they can nominate Leonard Wood by such destastible tactics as these? Never. REV.

Their motto is "Pay as you go." Rev. J. R. Richardson has pastored this church for 16 years and has had his reward for his untiring efforts.

The funeral was under the direction of the Masonic order and conducted by Rev. Holmes, the pastor of Metropolitan Temple, who preached a beautiful sermon. The floral offerings were any and of the highest quality, showing in what high esteem the deceased was held. The body was laid to rest in beautiful Oaklawn cemetery.

The perfect Teacher from above, With master mind of school. Came to teach us how to love And keep the Golden Rule. In lessons for the school or state, Keep your temper cool; Let every act both small and great Support the Golden Rule. If you are rich, wise or great, And wear a costly jewel, Reach down and lift the needy up And act the Golden Rule. Whatever you do for other men In business or in school, Will return to you again Who keep the Golden Rule. If some would have you miss the mark, And others treat you cool. Let no flame or little spark Consume the Golden Rule. In every path and walk of life In lessons learned in school, Refuse to wield a dangerous knife That cuts the Golden Rule. When we leave this world behind And cross death's chilly pool. May we see that face divine That taught the Golden Rule. God will change this house of clay, A frame so weak and cold And give us one eternal day A fadeless crown of gold. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH. 1325 E. 5th. Rey, Geo, W. Deylin, Pastor.

Nothing; compared with the great master minds that have written their names on the pages of history. Nothing; compared with the modern skeptic that desires to write his or her name on the pages of time. What is man anyway that thou should be mindful of him Blinded with fads, hypocrisy and deceit he smilingly goes his onward way Man; and when I say man, I mean to include woman is as inconsistent as the sparks that fly upward. To base one's popularity on the uncertain praise of man is folly. One day you a. be heralded as a king and the next day laughed to scorn. Why seek to please, the classes when the masses need your service? When one beholds, the beauty of the violet, the smallness of the ant and sees how they are trailed under the foot of man, yet the beauty of one and the increase of the other cannot be hidden. Can you become baffled in the face of such evidente proof? Do you fall to recognize in the protecting of the lower animal life as well as higher, the all pro identical power of our God our Father? Man that has nothing that he can call his own proceeds to vilify everything that rightly opposes him; and desires to be called the Lord of creation. Man, foolish man, soon to be striped of the coverings that has shielded your infamous deeds. Face to face with your maker the one who has loaned you a few years too profitable or unprofitable to put to use. Then what am I? Or what is man that thou should be mindful of him?

The people of this city and especially the members of St. Stephens Baptist church of Denver extend their love and best wishes to Rev. J. W. Hurse namely "The Live Wire." He delivered messages to the people of Denver that can never be forgotten. He departed from this city nearly three months ago and yet his sermons and songs are ringing in our ears. His enthusiastic sermons appealed to the sinners of Denver as never before, giving to them the food that tends to awake moral judgment as we have added twenty-two members to our roll. The Denver people at first almost refused to partake of his Christian doctoring as the doses were so numerous and bitter but long before he had finished we were more than willing to sit up all night and listen. Under his voice we received many converts, I for one. He reached my soul when he was delivering one of his famous texts. Judgment day. Extend our best wishes to him. Truly hoping he will be able to pay us another visit in the near future, I am. Keep off the date February 20.

Richard Davis Dies Greater Kansas City Plunged in Sorrow at the Death of this Splendid Man, who was not only the Dean of the Ministerial Body in This City, but One of the Grandest, Purest, and Most Loveable Men who ever Occupied a Pulpit in This City. THOUSANDS VIEWED THE REMAINS AT HIS HOME The Funeral Services, Held at Centennial Church, which He had Pas- tored for Twelve Years, and Which He Loved so well, Were the Most Beautiful and Impressive that have Been Witnessed in Kansas City Since the Funeral of Bishop Grant.

Rey. Richard Davis was born it Howard County, Missouri, in 1852 and at the time of his death was sixty eight years of age. He was married t Miss Nellie Diggs also of Howar¢ County, February 22, 1877, 43 year: ago; no children blessed this union but an adopted son whom they love dearly passed away about eight year ago. ‘The year follwing his marriag. Reverend Davis entered the itinerant ministry and his first charge was War renton, Mo., and during these forty-tw years he has served acceptably ai Sturgeon, Montgomery, North Fayette Glasgow, Mexico, and Sedalia, wher during bis pastorate he attended an graduated from George R. Smith Col lege after which he served six year: as superintendent of the Sedalia dis triet; coming from there to Centennie Church where he was serving hi twelfth year at the tine of his death Under his pastorate, Centennlel ha developed into one of the largest con gregation in Kansas City as well ai the leading church of his connectior in the West. Centenniel was forme by a consolidation of Burns Chapel an Asbury Chapel nearly twenty year ago, ,At that thine Rey. James M. Har tis was pastor of Centenniel but~th consolidation was performed under the pastorate of the Rev J. Will Jackson now pastor at Marshall, Mo. When Reverend Davis took charge there was a debt of $6,000.00 upor the church and when he and Brothe: Pryor, one of the trustees went dowr to see tho man who held the morteag upon the church and offered him fou hundred dollars as a partial payment ‘on their long over-due obligations, he refused to accept, it and curtly in formed them ‘that he must have fiv hundred dollars by the next day o he would proceed to foreclose at onc as he was “tired of fooling with them, Reverend Davis and Brother Pryo: eft erest-fallen and downhearted anc Brother Pryor sald to the pastor, “ don't know what we'll do as T haven’ another dollar and I have no ide where we can get the hundred.” Thet Reverend Davis in his quiet unassum ming'way said, “Brother Pryor, 1 hav a hundred dollars that my wife and | have saved which I will let you hav with the understanding that we'll al work as hard as we can to save ow church,” and he immediately drew hi hundred and went back to the mort gage holder who was not inélined t talk further with them until Brothe Davis laid the money on the tabl and sald: “Here is your five hundrec dollars,” the man took it and said t Brother Pryor, “You've got,a real mai as pastor here now,” and then said “You'll have to bring me $300.00 mor in six weeks or I'll foreclose.” It i needless to say that. Doctor Davi raised the $300.00 in less time thai that allotted him; then immediate but on @ rally for a thousand dollar which netted over $1,100.00 and kep this strenuous financial effort up ur Ul Centenniel had tho glorious priv ilege in 1916 of secing thelr mortgax burned. Centenniel has grown unde Reverend Davis’ splendid pastorat from less than three hundred to four toon hundred active members and th following well known people consti tute the present official boards: i "TRUSTEES J.

Reverend Davis was the organizer of Old Folks’ Day in this city and last Christmas he raised a fund of $83.00 to be used in assisting old people frrespective of denomination in this city. He ts alco an expresi- dent of the Ministerial Alliance com- prising six denominational bodies of which the Rev. 0. A. Johnson is the present presiding officer. His last desire expressed to his faithful com- panion was to see # great revival in Centenhiel and. to perfect plans for an enlarged church building but this was not to be and like a conquering hero he went marching home last Sat- ‘urday morning to join the redeemed host who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb. / | Reverend Davis leaves two sisters: ‘Mrs. Anna Shelby of Moberly, Mo.; ‘Mrs, Agnes Seay of Des Moines, Ia.: a number of neices and nephews and a dear devoted wife who has journeyed with him for more than 43 years and who is loved and respected by all who know her; and to her in this hour of sorrow the Sun and its staff extend thelr deepest sympathy. ‘The funeral Was held last Thursday at 1:00 o'clock ‘in the church he loved so well under ‘the auspices of the Ministerial Union ‘and the K. of P., which furnished an ‘escort pf honor under Colonel L. A. Knox, while the funeral arrangements were in the hands of Adkins Bros. ‘Undertakers, who have won a high ‘place in the hearts of the people of Kansas City by their attentiveness, their courtesy and the dignified maa- ‘ner in which they conduct their fu- ‘nerals, More than a thousand peo- ple were unable to gain admittance to ‘the church which was packed to its ‘capacity and the sermon was deliver- ‘ed by District Superintendent Lee as- ‘sisted by Dr. B. F. Abbott, pastor of Union Memorial Church,’ St. Louis, ‘end many other ministerial brethren, ‘Telegrams and letters of condolence ‘were received from many friends among whom were: Rey. F. S. Bowles, ‘Louisiana, Mo.; Rev. Wm. Smith, Lexington, Mo.; Mrs. Annie Taylor, Beaman, Mo.; Dr Robert B Hayes on ‘behalf of George R. Smith College, ‘a large number of the faculty of which ‘attended the funeral; Rev, B. F. Ab- bott, St. Louis; Rev. J. B. Walker, s Joseph; Rev. Ray, Maltz Bend; Rey. F. CB Washington, Chicago; ‘Mrs. Luca Gilham, Lawrence, Kas.; ‘The Methodist Ministers’ Alliance’ of St. Louis, Mo.; and many others. A peculiar ‘coincidence in Dr. Davis’ death was that he had prepared to paves on the Sunday following his death” upon the “Seven words of ese divided as follows: Ist, Father forgive them. 2nd, To the thief, this day shalt thou be with me in’ paradise, 3rd, Woman behold thy son. 4th, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, Sth, I thirst. 6th, It is finished. 7th, Father in thy hands I commend “my spirit, Every paragraph and especially the mm fitted into the life and character lof this splendid man of God, The following letter was received from Rey, F, D, Wells, Sedalia, Mo.: Dear Sister Davis:-— T'was shocked when someone called me_ever my. phone and informed me ‘that your ‘husband and my friend, the Rey. R. C. Davis, had passed ‘Into the great beyond, ‘I am writing to in- form you that you have my heartfelt sympathy and my prayer to God is (hat He will give you grace to bear up under your affliction, Reverend Davis was an ideal |preacher. While in Kansas City I al- [ways went to blm for council and ‘left him with a better understanding how to face the perplexing problems of church work...I regret so very much his death.

I shall use this knowledge to defeat him decisively when we meet Wednesday evening. Kid McCullough—"No man of my weight has gone ten sessions with me and left the ring undefeated. I am in perfect condition and will lay everything on this boy but quit." Ted Williams (Kid Orange's Trainer and Manager) "Kid Orange lacks nothing that a 122 pounder needs. He is destined to be king in his class. "Big" McCullough (Brother and Trainer of Kid McCullough). "I want to drop this hint to the host of the Kid's followers. The Kid is a sure bet. He will show Orange up. Harry Wills, the famous heavy-weight was in town and was asked to look the boys over in their work-outs and dope out the fight.

Richards, Stockholder, 323 Greely Avenue, Kansas City, Kas. In our last talk we stressed our benefits to the company. This time we, if you please, shall consider, two features, extraordinary benefits of the company to us. But may I digress a moment to remind you of a statement in a recent issue of the Star announcing that our company has a large plant in Argentina, South America and minor branches in other South American states. What significance has this for us? In these countries ability rather than color figures. We can get closer to the average South American than the white man of the United States. Language is our only handicap. The language of the South American countries save Brazil, which speaks Portuguese, is Spanish. Our advancement there would cause less friction than at home and Swift & Co., could make more money by using us there. But that is aside. Your attention is mainly drawn (1) to the buying of stock in Swift & Co., and (2) the Employees' Benefit Association. In conversation not long since with an employee of a sister plant, I learned that the company deducts without consent a certain amount for the accident and sick department. Our company does not do that. Therein lies its charm. It calls you in, lays before you several options, states their advantages, and allows you to make your selection without compulsion. The Six months after using. benefits of this department are too well known and enjoyed to need more than this mention. Giving an opportunity to employees to buy its stock is of comparative recent date. But Swift and Co., is in the forefront. We found the liberty bonds profitable but the Swift Cos. stock is more so. The plan is easy, so much each week and a dividend twice that of the liberty bond. The beauty of this is that your money is working side by side with you. It does not get sick, it takes no day off, and is not laid off. It works all the time, night and day and when you are played out, if you have carefully purchased enough stock it will supply your needs and keep you from want. I need not dwell upon the habit cultivated of saving a bit each week which otherwise would get away from us and would not be missed. But besides these advantages the crowning effect is that the employee by his vote becomes a shaper in the destinies of the company and the company becomes a sharer of his more sympathetic interest. Now, if one has already laid by a few hundred or thousand dollars, he could not use it to better advantage than by investing with Swift and Company. THE Ideal Barber Shop! High-Class Workmen D. S.
