Br EVERYBODY The Negro an His History—His Achievements ent Status---and His Future H that Forceful and Convincing former Auditor of the Navy, Correspondent to the Negro Pro In many ways the impending presidential campaign more deeply concerns the Colored people in these United States than any previous presidential campaign since the adoption of the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution. The accumulating evidence of increasing persecution of the race in the South, and discriminations in the North, and the apparent "leave it alone" policy of the party with which we have long been affiliated, and which has had our practically solid support in national elections, as bearing on those questions calling for a solution by the granting of constitutionally vouchsafed rights and privileges, has made our race somewhat skeptical as to the future. The world war, out of which we thought, and confidently believed, would issue the much tauted world democracy, as much applicable to our race that gave millions to finance it REV. JULIAN C. CALDWELL, D. D. Secretary Allen Christian Endeavor whom it is generally conceded will be one of the next Bishops of the great African Methodist Episcopal Church. and more than Four Hundred Thous and men to fight for it, as to the nati ative and naturalized and even alien whites, left, instseads, in its wake a trail of racial predjudice wider, deeper and more engulfing than existed before. The leaders of the Republican party, no less than the leaders in the Democratic party, have, apparently, been more concerned with economic questions which concern other countries, the feeding and uplifting of people in foreign countries, than with the question of justice for the American Colored man who loyally bore the brunt of the battle in the heat of the day. Unless we succeed in influencing the Republican party to write into its platform to be adopted at Chicago in June an lank designed to secure equal justice for the race, and a solemn pledge that such a plank shall be strictly adhered to we will have failed in our duty to the race. There will be four parties to go before the voters of our country for endorsement this coming fall, the Republican, Democratic, Labor and Socialist. With the second, which is most largely responsible for all our ills, past and present, we cannot consistently ally ourselves. With the Socialist, in spite of its rosesy promise of equality and justice for the race, there are inseparately associated too many radicals who are styled bolsheviks, soviets, syndicalists, and I. W. W.'s. The Labor party, although the American Federation of Labor has gone on record as favoring a recognition, within the ranks of organized labor, of Colored labor on equal terms with the whites, to many of our race yet appears impotent, even though there is much in its policies that are idealistic, to secure for us quick and permanent justice. The Republican party, providing it is reconstructed, brought back to the The Kansas City Sun Entered as second-class matter, August City, Mo. under the act of March 3, 1879.

Practically all of the avowed presidential aspirants in the Republican party have sounded their keynote, but in none of them has there been a single note of encouragement, even by inference, for the more than 12,000,000 Colored people. The burden of their song has been antagonism to the "Reds" who would, as baskhevls, our government. Unintentionally, perhaps, they made no reference to the Rebels, those in this country who rebel against according to a 12,000,000 loyal contingent the justice they splendidly won in every war this country has waged. Before the Republican convention convenes we ought to assemble, as a race, and, banishing all factional strife among ourselves, ignoring every and all personal differences, by speech, action and resolution impress upon the party that me MUST be given only that recognition the constitution specifically provides, and which our loyalty, service and sacrifices have paid for in full. There must be no recognition of a "southern policy" by any future Republican president in contradistinction to a national policy of justice for all. There MUST not be a revival of a policy, persuaded by a Republican president, that denies to our brothers in the South equitable representation in governmental affairs under the delusion that such a policy will best solve the race problem for those who refuse to concede that the American colonists' slogan, "No taxation without representation." is as sound today as it was in 1776. The same opportunities and rights must be accorded the Two Millions of Colored people in the North that are accorded the whites who are no more citizens of these United States, and the same opportunities and rights due the Two Million Colored people in the North must be accorded the Ten Million Colored people in the South, and that, too, without reservations. The Republican party preaches a "one and invisible country," and we, the Colored people, must see to it that the party recoignizes our race as a component part of that "one and indivisible." It is up to us to impress, by unity in resolution, and up to the Republic can party to ACT concertedly and effectively to conserve every right and privilege the constitution vouchsafes to us. WILSON'S MISSILES By Ona B. Wilson. Many have said "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again." But few believe it. If one builds today on a sandy foundation and tells another of a coming flood, you will either think him a fool or say he is a liar. When Noah told the people of the coming flood he began a substantial preparation for it. So it is with our lives. If we seek fame, we seek to base it on worth and merit and gained like large estates by prudence and industry, deservedly perpetuates the names of the great and good. No glory or fame is both consolitor and lasting unless based on virtue and wisdom. Egismat and vanity detract from fame and soil the splendors of our actions. There is no vice or folly that requires so much skill to manage as fame, nor any which by ill management, makes so contemptible a figure, for like truth if the essential qualities that make fame are hidden or trampled they will ultimately rise to set judgment.

E. church and Institutional had her opening service last Sunday at Ward Chapel, 12th and Woodland and we had a great service. The program was fine. The Rev. Mrs. Beard delivered a most powerful sermon, using for her text John 4:29 "Come and See the Man Who told me all things, is not this the Christ." She used as a subject "Advertising Jesus." She caused an old fashioned religious stir among her guests. Rev. aughn, Dean at Western University, delivered a most befitting address on "Why we Should Have an Institutional Church in this city." The Rev. Dr. Shaw, pastor of St. James A. M. E. Zion church delivered a most powerful address on "The Multiply of Institutional Churches." He said that the saving church must turn to this work for it was Christ's way of saving the world by helping the falling and poor of this world. Then came the mighty Madam E. Dimery of the Dimery Chapel, who spoke with much inspiration and power. She said that Rev. Harris had had a vision that God and Christ would stand by him, after which Rev. Harris gave out some plans of his future church and thanked Dr. Horsey and his good people for their kind and broad hearts, opened their doors for the new church and asked his friends to stay with him until the work was done Dr. Horsey closed the service. We will begin next Sunday with services at 17th and Charlotte at 10:45 a. m. Come one and all. REV. A. B. HARRIS, Pastor Ahe Husbands Immoral? Divorce records show that there have been many husbands who forced their wives into immorality for profit. See how such a situation is met in the William Fox morality production, "Why I Would Not Marry," coming to Love's Theatre, February 1st. William Tutt, at one time a minister in the colored Baptist church at Paris, Mo., but for the last twenty years a resident of Quincy, died his residence, 114 South Ninth street at 2:30 oclock Monday afternoon from old age. He had been allying only a short time, and his death is sincerely mourned by the colored folks of this city. Mr. Tutt was born in Virginia in 1845, died athete age of 74 years. He was a veteran of the civil war, having taken an active part in some of the greatest of battles of that conflict. He was a sergeant in Company K of the fifty-sixth Missouri regiment. Shortly after the war he entered the ministry and preached the gospel in the Baptist church for many years. By thrift and industry he acquired some real estate in the city. He conducted a second hand store on Ninth street south of Main for a number of years, having retired only a few months ago. Mr. Tutt was a man of worthy ambitions and was interested in the educational welfare of his children. He leaves a son, Rev. Jordan W. Tutt, who is pastor of the Second Baptist church in Macomb, and a granddaughter, Miss Marle Major, who is a teacher in Lincoln school. Jordan Tutt, his son, was employed by the government in the Quincy postoffice for a long term of years, and was ordained to the ministry a year ago. Besides the son and granddaughter aforementioned, Mr. Tutt is survived by another son, William Tutt, Jr., and four daughters, Mrs. John Major, of Quincy, Mrs. Matilda Tutt of Pleasant Hill, Mo., and Miss Blanche Tutt, at home. Two brothers, Louis Tutt of Kansas City, and Riel Tutt of St. Louis, and four other grandchildren also survive—Quincy Ill. Herald. KANSAS CITY'S NEGRO TEACHERS, PUPILS, PARENTS AND TAXPAYERS ARE BEING PERSECUTED AND ROBBED. Editor Sun:— Almost monthly our Negro teachers are called upon to contribute a stipulated sum of their hard earned money to our charities, would-be charities and to any bad the promoters or would be LEADERS see fit to indorse. If they, (the teachers) refuse they are threatened with a dismissal. The pupils are also compelled to take part at intervals during the "School year" in Concerts, Dances and Leg Shows, etc., for the same causes. This is all done at the expense of the Pupils, Parents and tax-payers. The voters and tax-payers of Kansas City are not placing men on the School Board to employ Teachers to head our schools for the purpose of pulling off dances, leg shows and passing hand bills. It is a known fact that no teacher can render efficient service with g dozen and one irons in the fire. We are not getting a square deal and it's nothing more than Persecution and Robbery. The Parents and every Negro Tax Payer in Kansas City should appeal to the School Board and demand a change or the heads of those responsible for such a condition. On Behalf Of Dr. Bruce As A Physician and Surgeon. I must say that the skillful and efficient service received during my recent illness could not be surpassed. Having been told by a Specialist of opposite race that the operation could be performed only by a Specialist whose ability to perform such a technical operation could be sufficiently relied upon. Owing to efficiency proven to me by the citation of other cases attended by Dr. Bruce I decided to secure his service. The efficient service rendered me by him as I aforesaid cannot be surpassed. Much luck and success to Dr. Bruce. Mrs. Porter Carmack. Do You Believe in Race Suicide? Is woman's place really in the home?

HON. W. C. HUESTON RETURNS. Hon. W. Clarence Hueston the well known attorney who has been in Illinois for the past three weeks finishing up the Brief to be submitted in the appeal of the case of Dr. LeRoy M. Bundy which was a stupendous task, has completed and submitted the evidence in the case and a hearing will be had early in February, during the meantime efforts are being made to secure Dr. Bundy's release on bond. While absent Mr. Hueston spent some little time at Gary, Ind. where he is interested in a big land proposition and when a representative of the Sun called on him at his office the other day, and asked him what were the opportunities and possibilities of the Colored people in Gary Mr. Hueston had the following to say: "The taking over of a majority of the capital stock of the David Glueck Realty Co., of Gary, Indiana, by a group of Colored men headed by a number of the leading Negro business men of this city is an undertaking that if successfully accomplished, will be of great importance to the race. Gary is a new city of a population of about 100,000 of this number we are told about 12,000 are members of the Negro race. Gary is the greatest steel center in the United States Steel concern having an investment here of over $400,000,000, employing over 28,000 men and of this number about 4,000 are Colored men also Gary has many other concerns employing many thousands of men, all of this growing out of the fact that steel can be manufactured in Gary cheaper than any city in America. This makes it absolutely certain, so the Gary people believe, that this city in the course of ten years will be a city of over one-half million. This being true, those who buy property in this city will undoubtedly make large profits. The David Glueck Realty Co., at this time owns nearly 2,000 pieces of improved and vacant property in the city of Gary. Said property being located in all parts of Gary, thus insuring that our people dealing with a Corporation owning such large holdings in this city and controlled by a group of our own men that great opportunity await those who become interested in this company or who buy property in the City of Gary. The Kansas City men who have become interested in the David Glueck Realty Co., are Mr. T. B. Watkins, H. B. Moore, Felix H. Payne, C. H. Calloway and W. C. Hueston. These gentlemen together with other men of our race in Gary and Chicago are heading the proposition. The affairs of the David Glueck Realty Co. in the District West of the Mississippi Pi River are being directed by the firm of Hueston & Calloway, Attorneys at law, 1612 E. 12th street this city and the Editor feels sure that those who may be interested in knowing more of the possibilities and achievements of our people in this new giant city of the central west may by applying to them get all the information desired.

It was a new job and a new experience for the twenty or more Colored men and women who completed their assignments this week of assisting Uncle Sam in counting the population of Kansas City for the fourteenth census of the United States. It was the first time that such honors had been conferred upon Colored citizens. The census supervisor for the district, Mr. Meigs Bland, is to be commended for his fairness and freedom from color or race discrimination in the selection of enumerators. All that was necessary was to pass with credit the required government examination. And he was broad enough to not confine his appointments of Colored enumerators to only Colored districts as several of them had charge of precincts of almost exclusively white persons. But as between white and Colored inhabitants they discovered that in the matter of manners the colored people, too many of them were sadly outclassed. While the white people welcomed the Colored enumerators and freely answered their questions with scarcely an exception. Colored people were disposed to regard them as meddlers in their private affairs, asking them out on occasions, shutting doors in their occasions, insulting and humiliating remarks; and this treatment coming more often from those who pose as the favored Colored people as to occupations, education and MRS. J. W. HURSE. wife of the distinguished pastor of St. Stephen's Baptist church who lies dangerously ill at home 12th and Michigan. home life. Among the hard working people who have less leisure to read, it was only necessary to make the meaning and purpose of the Census known to them to receive a cordial welcome. Colored people as a whole need to learn to show the same respect for their own agents, government employees or Negroes of any calling that they show to white persons of similar vocations. The Colored enumerators noted also the wide contrast as to living expenses between white and colored people of moderate incomes, the cost for rents, lodging, board and light housekeeping ranging from 25 to 50% more for white people than for Colored and they are finding less fault with existing conditions or the accommodations they receive. The average Negro tenant, whether a lodger or boarder fails to appreciate the hundred-fold advance in rents, taxes, lights, building materials and all home appointments but is ready to register a protest if required to pay anywhere in keeping with the universal hike in expenses to home owners or renters of homes. Many Colored people who are paying a 50% advance for the Star without a murmur rebel at a reasonable advance of sales for advertising or subscription to Negro publications. Is this attitude of the race fair to themselves or is it not? What Causes So Many Divorces? There are 341,277 divorced persons in the United States. Man is chiefly to blame for the condition is the universal cry. Do you think so?

By Corinne Thomas For the first time in the history of the Negro church has it given an example of practical religion as St. John A. M. E. church through the erection of a Shirt Factory, 24th and Burdette streets, Omaha, Nebr., which on the start has given employment to one hundred women and girls of the race. The factory is one of the ten M. E. Smith Garment Manufactories the largest co-operation of its kind in the country. The girls, under the foreladyship of Mrs. Pearl Alexander, are putting out the most efficient work of any of the now eleven factories. This is a statement made by one of the managers in the past week. The employees will work by the piece. The first week they will receive a bonus of $12.00, the second week $11.00 bonus and the amount of money made by the piece work and so on for twelve weeks when they will have developed more speed and accuracy and work on their own merit. They can easily make from seventeen to twenty-five dollars per week. As soon as another of the women or girls becomes more efficient another forelady will be appointed. The managers are now willing to spend $100,000.00 on another factory that will employ five hundred Colored women and girls. But I am sure we cannot help but pause here and pay homage to the Rev. W. C. Williams for taking the initiative and leading the project to a realization. He has the distinct honor of being the only one of his race to do anything like this in Omaha. We can say without doubt he is a born leader. It is sincerely hoped that the churches elsewhere will do the same. . .

THE INTERSTATE. (Concluded) Prof. Gregg, the President of Kansas City, Kans. branch and organizer of N. A. A. C. P., took the Association on a trip with him to the National meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, and let us experience the treatment he received there, i. e. not being noticed, still treated as a human being. He gave the motto of N. A. A. C. P. Mrs. Cook of Kansas City, Mo. opened the discussion giving her experience in the work and appealing for a deep interest of her race in their advancement. The President appealed for the organization stating its purposes and that it was born on Lincoln's birthday and put Wichita to the test to prove its fibre as she termed it, pleaded with them to go on record and organize and the fever rose so high in twenty minutes that 75 joined and now Wichita has a branch. They say they are thankful and the Interstate was the cause of the blessing. Mrs. Fine's solo was fine. "The Negro women in America" was the finest tribute ever paid women by Mrs. T. D. Lee, Lawrence. It was wonderful. Mrs. I. H. Williams proved her worth and as President said, her singing would cause the mocking bird to hide its face and refuse to sing. Miss Laura H. Rowles reading proved her to be a full fledged elocutionist. The deep, rich baritone solo by Rev. Burdette was sweet and stirring. The President brought to the notice of the Association the death of two faithful members, Geo. W. Ellis, formerly of Lawrence, and once minister to Liberia, died in Chicago, December 5; Mr. M. B. Brooks, the keen and fearless editor of the Hutchinson Blade, to whom a tribute was paid by Prof. F. C. West and Dr. Harrison. Five minutes of silent prayer. The President quoted Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar." Ida F. Bates' paper subject, "Ideal of Race Development"—its safeguard plans for the race were plain and the rendition of his paper was all right. Closed session with music from the Coleridge Taylor Choral Society. Wednesday morning the session was alive, every brain working, making it interesting. The nominating committee reported: Prof. Bowler, President; Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Chairman of Executive Committee. Place of meeting 1920—Kansas City, Missouri. Poem by Mrs. M. L. Copeland was excellent and enjoyed by all. Judge T. W. Bell of Leavenworth delivered a great address to the honor of his race and the glory of his God. Adjourned. Wednesday after noon Dr. P. M. Bell of Wichita, Kansas, swayed his audience with his masterful eloquence: "Health Supervision in our Public Schools. Address "Truth" by Judge I. F. Bradley philosopher and scholar was excellent. Judge was never better. Wednesday evening there was an overflow. At 8:00 o'clock there was not standing room. Dr. Ransom—invocation. Prof. E. M. Barnes led "America" by request of Prof. J. Bowler, then presented the President with an oak gavel on behalf of the citizens as a token of their appreciation of her executive ability and wonderful personality. She thanked them. We then entered into the contest. A selection from the Orchestra was enjoyed before first number. For oratory the first prize $5.00 was awarded Mr. Chester Hopkins. 2nd to Mr. Clay Robinson. For poetry three young ladies allowed $1.00 each for effort. Original poem Miss Mable Banks. $5.00. The local committee had their work in perfect order and had the City of Wichita teeming with hospitality. The War, H. C. L., strikes or coal shortage had not tightened the latch string, lessened the hearty grip of these good people but had broadened and developed the inborn traits of hospitality. These compliments with many more were given by President. Greetings were received from the Federation of Clubs of Boston, Mass., Dr. W. E. Dubois and many others. Paseo Shop DRESSMAKING.

WHAT GREAT MEN AND SCHOOL ARS HAVE SAID OF THE BIBLE MALAYSIA By Mrs. Rosetta B. Green. The writer feels that it is her peculiar mission as an ambassador of Christ to magnify the Bible. She wants you, dear reader, to find the same beauty and joy in this Book of Books that she has Authors: "We speak of the Bible as one book. In reality however, it is a small library, a set of 66 books smaller, larger, that have been bound in one volume. They have various authors numbering about 36 in all. The oldest of these is Moses the Hebrew Prophet and Law-giver who wrote about 1500 years before Christ. Many of these authors were uneducated yet there came from the strokes of their rude pens characters immortal; everlasting characters that stand like rocks among the waves of time; created in a few words by a bare record of great things said and done. The latest author is John the Evangelist who wrote the Revelation about 100 years after Christ. So we see the Bible was about 1600 years in preparation. No other single book has such chronological record as this."—Dr. A. F. Schaufler. Is Marriage a Matter of $ $ $? Does the dollar sign lurk behind every marriage?

LOVE'S THEATRE 24th and Vine Sts. "Why I Would Not Marry" is a play that dissects the problem of marriage, laying bare the pitfalls, the snares, the selfishness, the cruelty and the heartlessness that often characterize the institution that has been called Holy Wedlock. This great play is pitiless in the searching light it throws upon the state of matrimony. It will make the selfish, thoughtless, complacent husband squirm. It will cause wives to look at life in a new light. It is a challenge to the world, and it rips away the veil of hypocracy and deceit that has enshrouded marriage and made it a mockery among decent men and women. NOTE--Don't fail to bring your husband, sweetheart or intended along to see this wonderful production. MUTT and JEFF FOX NEWS OVERTURE CONTINUOUS FROM 2:30 P.M., SUNDAY CITY NEWS Mrs. L. B.

Would You Sacrifice Happiness For Your Parents? Should a beautiful young girl sacrifice happiness by marrying a rich man she does not love so that her parents can continue to live a false artificial life in what the world calls "society"? See the answer in the William Fox morality production, "Why I Would Not Marry," to be shown at Love's theatre for three days commencing Sunday, February 1st. WHITE SCHOOL PRINCIPALS SAY "NIGGER." It is reported that ever once in a while during conferences of school principals in which general educational matters are under discussion the word "Nigger" is heard from the tips of the leader of some white school, notwithstanding the presence of Negro principals. Of course the Colored men are too well bred to take any special offence at this and no formal resentment is ever shown over it. But the occurrences simply illustrate the feelings of some of the educators toward the black people with whom the white children must come into daily contact, a feeling of ignominy and contempt. It is fair to resume that if these white principals use invidious nicknames of races when in council they must also use them before their pupils and elsewhere, thus sowing the seeds of social disorder instead of influencing social harmony and generous citizenship, as they ought to do by virtue of their position as leaders in civic education, sical direction and moral development. The question may well be asked, are such leaders worthy of the places to which they have been appointed in the working out of the new World Democracy? How can a poor man protect himself against rich men who are attracted by his wife's beauty and who offer her all the luxuries she craves, none of which the husband can supply? See how a woman is tempted in "Why I Would Not Marry," a William, Fox morality production, coming to Love's Theatre, February 1. PERSONAL BEAUTY. (By Vernetta G. Allen.) Personal beauty should be a subject of consideration to every girl and woman, and should lead to make themselves as attractive as possible. Culture beauty, real beauty, its underlying principle is "plain living and high thinking." The essential of true beauty are temperance, purity, and exercise. To persevere in the task of cultivating beauty and preserving the natural endowments of the body is a serious work. It calls, for unflagging industry, and should be one of the regular duties. All parts of the body should receive impartial attention—until a harmonious whole is secured. The greatest secret of beauty is health, and unless each organ of the body is acting properly there is no perfect health. The stomach is in a great measure responsible for many defects. The lack of a good complexion is due to imperfect action in different organs. What you eat, and when you eat, and how much you eat, play an important part in the matter of complexion. One lady tried a home treatment for her skin, due to the fact it was so full of pimples, very cloudy and the skin was hard. At first she did nothing for her skin, and it grew worse. So she decided to care for it and this is what she did. At night she got a bowl of warm water, in which she put a heaping teaspoon of borax. She used a soft wash cloth of old linen, and some pure cocoanut soap. She rubbed the sore face very carefully and then poured out the warm water, and put in not water, as hot as she could stand it. She threw the water upon her face, using no cloth, simply hot water softened with borax to which she had added ten drops of spirits of camphor. She dried her face by burying it in a soft damask towel, not rubbing it. She then applied a pure cold cream and rubbed it gently upon her face. Within the first weeks she saw no difference, but within a month she had a wonderful effect. The plan of diet was rigidly adhered to. She took long brisk walks daily, no matter what kind of weather. She sleeps in a room without fire, and finds that her sleep is refreshing. A year from that time she was prettier than ever, and her complexion was beautiful. Her eyes were clear and bright, and there was a general air of elasticity and vigor about her that she had never known before. It is every woman's duty to use such means as may be at her command to assist nature in remedying any physical defect that may exist, and to add to her charm in a rational way but nevertheless in a harmless way. Would You Steal to Please Your Wife? Is a man justified in stealing because he wants his wife to have the things rich men give their wives? The answer is given in the William Fox morality production, "Why I Would Not Marry;" coming to Love's Theatre, February 1. A THEY SAY —That to yield is easy, to resist is hard. —That the best way to teach virtue is to live it. —That initiative is doing what should be done without being told. —That the man who only half tries only makes half good. —That you cannot build a reputation on the things you are going to do. You must do them. Amen. —That any man con learn to do anything that any other man has done if he will apply himself to the doing of it. —That the Negro race has one good point in his favor; he has never produced an anarchist or bolshevist in the race. —That the fellow who believes that the world owes him a living and he doesn't owe the world anything is asleep. Wake up brother. —That one of our newly married young women breads bread with her gloves on. Pshaw! What are you laughing at? That's nothing. Our "boss" needs bread with his shoes on. he needs bread with his shirt on: he needs bread with his pants on and unless some of the delinquent subscribers pay before long, he will need bread without a d—m thing on. And this is no Garden of Eden in the winter time. --That a Colored man who was dying was asked by his friends if he wanted to be cremated after death. "What's dat?" said the brother. "Why your body -burned." "H—no," said the old fellow "What you all think I bin blonging to Chuck dese 40 eahs for? Ise been trying to keep de evil from cremating me and now you want dese white rolks to do it. I jes ain't gue to die." And believe us, he didn't. Mme.

WASHINGTON LETTER. Doings At the Nation's Capital. J. Silas Harris The Democratic National Committee held a "love feast" here last week, oratory, minus whisky, was unconfined, and the "white-winged angel of peace" hovered over its proceedings with loving concern until one William Jennings Bryan threw a monkey wrench into the music box and struck a discordant note, and then, Democratic hope for victory in 1920 faded away. Scores of old "jug-bellied runts" who have had their eyes glued upon the "White House" every since the emancipation, sang, prayed, pleaded, and shed barrels of tears, but all to no avail, for the statesman from the Platte had crossed the Rubicon and burned the bridge behind him. It now seems that no matter whom the Democrats nominate for the presidency, defeat is inevitable, and for which let a long suffering public "trap" upon their sinful knees and turn thanks to William Jennings and to the Giver of every good and precious gift. The meeting of the late Republican National Committee brought to Washington, hundreds of the old veterans of bygone days and to see them "milling" around the hotels, was an inspiration. It awakened fond memories of the past when the Republican party was in flower, and it is now a settled fact that the "Old Elephant" is on his way back home and the very gates of hell cannot prevent his safe arrival. Just an even dozen distinguished American statesmen have indicated their willingness to lead the G. O. P. to victory next November, and strange to say, there is not a "weakling" among them. All are men of rare ability, ripe experience, and of national renown. Here they are, look them over: Lowden, the famous war Governor of Illinois; Butler, America's foremost educator; Wood, the home protector; Pershing, the hero of the Argonne; Harding, the undefeater leader of Ohio; Watson, the political idol o Indiana; Frelinghuysen, the secon of a long line of illustrious statesmen; Poindexter, the Henry of Navarre, of the Pacific Coast; Spencer, the unbridled servant of the people; Taft, the scholar, educator, and ex-President; Coolidge, the new defender of Americanism. The continued high cost of living remains one of the unsolved problems of the hour. Shoes are so costly that thousands of women may be seen on the streets wearing slippers, and the repair shops for old clothing are working over time. Rabbits are selling for 75 cents a piece and good old pork chops are cheap at 50 cents a pound. Rooms rent for $15.00 to $30.00 a month and one has to beg for them at that price. The dinner given last week by Jon J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle was the greatest event of the season. The invited guest, thirty in number, were composed of members of the Eagle staff and the leading newspaper correspondents of Washington. The dinner was given at the residence of Deacon Chase of the Vermont Avenue Church. Plenty of good turkey and wine of rare vintage put the moulders of public opinion in the very best of humor, and the speeches of Prof. J. Silva Harris and Hon Finley Wilson will long be remembered by all who were present. Leaders of both branches of congress have asked that a committee of strong men and women prepare an outline of the Industrial Bill that is to be put through the present congress, and in compliance with that request the following committee has been chosen, Dr. Jesse Lawson, Prof. Kelly Miller., Prof. J. Silas Harris, Judge Robert Terrell, Mrs. Anna Cooper, Col. Tom Clark, and Dr. Hellerman. The committee held its first meeting at the residence of Dr. Lawson Sunday afternoon, at which it was decided to invite one hundred of the most distinguished men of the race to meet with the committee for the purpose of passing upon the bill creating the proposed Industrial Commission. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University will prepare an outline of the measure. Prof. J. R. E. Lee of Kansas City, and Prof. Frank L. Williams of St. Louis will be the Missouri representatives. Ten Missourians are to be given positions in the Bureau of Engraving on or about February 1st. These appointments will be made for three months subject to an examination at the expiration of that time and we are hoping that Kansas City will get several of the places. St. Louis, if dame rumor is to be believed, it to have a Negro Crongressman in the 67th Congress and all Washington have their eyes on that city. Phillips, Lloyd or Well would be most acceptable, all being men of fine character and ability. Mr. H. L. Walker, president of the Old Folks' Home and Orphanage of Lexingon, Va., is here in the interest of that institution. She is one of the dependable women of the race and has the confidence and respect of the citizens of the Old Dominion. She is a humanitarian and feels that her mission is to care for the friendless and poor of the race. All Washington seems to be in sympathy with her and her labors among the people of the District of Columbia is going to be a grand success. The Negro women of the 7th Ward met Monday afternoon January 12th and organized the Negro Ladies Division of the 7th Ward Republican Club. Mrs. J. D. Lee 2101 East Front was electer President; Mrs. A. Honeycutt, Vice President; Mrs. Georgia G. Hill, Sec'y"; Mrs. Fannie Terry, Treasurer; Mrs. Albert Banks, Sergent-at-Arms. The next meeting will be held Monday, January 19, 1920 at 7:00 p. m. All Negro women of the 7th Ward are invited to join the Club. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. JANUARY 31. 1920 PORO COLLEGE Thursday, January 8th, was a day long to be remembered by all members of the PORO Family. It had occurred to Mr. and Mrs. Malone to make the second Thursday of January "Parents" day, this being the first celebration. All employees were privileged to invite their parents, if their parents were living, if not, to invite the one who vouched for them when they entered the employ of the PORO College. It was this last thoughtful provision that wiped many tear from the eyes of employees, for even Mr. and Mrs. Malone availed themselves of this opportunity and brought hoary-headed friends who had served as parents to them in advice and counsel. From a stage profusely decorated with warm red blossoms for the living parents and the tender pale blue and white flowers for the deceased, a splended program was rendered. Members of the City Clergy were in large numbers (they having vouched for many of the young people at the College.) The employees were seated on one side of the Auditorium wearing red ribbon for both living parents, blue for deceased father, and white for deceased mother. The parents were seated on the other side. A delightful dinner was served the parents under the direction of Mr. Wilfred Lewis, steward of PORO COLLEGE, and the employees were given an opportunity to come to the dining room and view their parents as they were partaking of the dinner. Many surprises were given. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moody, Seur. II., (Mrs. Mme C. J. PRICE The of Mme C. J. creates it invigorates Mme P. are all with Mme on each Mrs. C. J.

FUN FO UN FOR ALL FUN FOR ALL FUN FOR ALL THE FIRST YEAR OF THE NEW YORK CITY INFANT SCHOOL These youngsters had the time of their lives at a party given recently by Community Service in the Thomas Garret Settlement House in Wilmington, Delaware. There were grownups at the party, too. But, they were there just to help the young folks enjoy themselves. Community Service includes colored men, women and children in its work throughout the United States. The work for them is carried on by colored workers trained by Community Service. Malone's sister who largely raised her) were secretly brought to the city as a surprise to Mrs. Malone, as also was the mother of Mr. Lewis. It was a day of rejoicing and at the same time, mingled with sorrow. Here and there could be seen the single and double badge of mourning all during the day employees were grave in thought ofp arents no longer with them in flesh. The day did so much to reveal the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Malone to enter directly into the home life of their employees and bring the thing that is missing to help strengthen that life. From now on all of the "PORO FAMILY" will turn to Mr. and Mrs. Malone not alone as their employers but as their big parents, for advice—for help—for strength to bear bravely the burdens of this life, and herein was the Christ greatly revealed at PORO COLLEGE and "Parents Day" has come to stay as a bright occasion yearly at this the greatest of our institutions.
