By Wm. H. Dawley, Jr. February 20, 1895 at Cedar Hill, Anacostia, D. C. Frederick Douglass died. The exact date of his birth is not known. It has been celebrated in connection with Lincoln on the 12th and also on St. Valentine's day the 11th. Since the date is unknown and must be selected there should be no intrenchment on the natal days of other famous men notwithstanding February furnishes the fewest number of days of any month. It appears that the 20, the day of his death, would also answer for his birth. For both Shakespeare and Oliver Cromwell died upon the anniversary of their birthday. Thus, let us say, he was born February 20, 1817. Maryland is his native state. His early childhood was spent with an inadequate wardrobe and insufficient food, wanting in variety. Possibly the happiest circum- JOHN A. BROWN THE IMMORTAL FREDERICK DOUGLASS. stance of his childhood was when about the age of twelve, he was sent to Baltimore and his new mistress taught him with her son, his letters. He outstripped his white companion which elicited such joy from his teacher that she proudly told her husband. Mr. Auld became angry and ordered his wife to stop teaching the "Nigger." She reluctantly obeyed. But the crafty young slave found other means of furthering his learning. The Lion had tasted blood. From the proceeds of blacking boots he bought the Columbian Orator, that he had heard white school boys talking about. Like Tom Sawyers in white-washing his aunt's fence, he investigated the school days into teaching him words. Two selections in the Columbian Orator increased his discontent with slavery: "A dialogue between Master and Slave" resulting in the slave's winning freedom, and Sheridan's speech on "Catholic Emancipation." He learned to write by copying letters, that he saw on the sides of ships, by imitating the copies in Mrs. Auld's son's copy book, which she had very carefully put away, and by tracing the italics in Webster's Spelling book. In 1833 the death of his Master caused him to be hired out to Mr. Covey who was very cruel. The second time he attempted to whip Douglass, Douglass resisted with such effect that Covey made no more attempts. From that moment Douglass was free. However in 1836 his attempt to escape with five companions for whom he had written passes was unsuccessful. But in 1838, with the financial assistance of a free girl that he had been wooing, a sailor suit borrowed from a friend, passports in his pocket, he boarded a moving train and in twenty-four hours reached New York City where he was joined by the above mentioned girl whom he at once married and the couple proceeded to New Bedford, Mass., to render capture and return to slavery less easy. In 1841 in Nantucket at the Anti-slavery convention he met William Lloyd Garrison and made a speech that secured his services as the agent of the Massachusetts Anti-slavery society.

He addressed large audiences. A hundred and fifty pounds sterling was raised and sent to Mr. Hugh Auld for Douglass freedom. He couldn't enjoy his free dom in a foreign land and observe members of his race at home in slavery. So against the wishes of his OUGLASS. friends he recrossed the Atlantic in 1846 and resumed active work for the freedom of his race. He moved to Rochester in the fall of 1847 and began publishing the North Star. This was uphill work. He was however aided by Charles Sumner, Gerritt Smith, H. W. Seward and Chief Justice Chase. Fear of arrest as a result of the John Brown raid at Harper's Ferry, Va., which he discouraged, caused his second visit to England. On his return he was active in raising the 54th Massachusetts Regiment during the Civil War in which two of his sons, Lewis and Charles enlisted, the latter veteran the last survivor of his children is now living in Washington. The war over, Mr. Douglass' main desire and effort was accomplished; the Negroes were free. He then set himself to the task of preparing the freedmen for freedom by a series of masterly lectures and the issuing of the New National Era. His public offices were President of the Freedman's Bank, Marshall of the District of Columbia in 1877, Recorder of Deeds in 1881, Minister to Haiti in 1886 and that Republic made him her representative to the World's Fair in 1893. In 1899 the Governor of New York Theodore Roosevelt made the address at the unveiling of the monument in memory of Frederick Douglass in Rochester, N. Y., where in Mt. Hope cemetery his body rests. This account is based on the "story of Douglass" by Miss Laura E. Wilkes who says: "I have prepared this little book for the young folk of the race, because I believe the life of Frederick Douglass will serve as an inspiration to every school boy and girl" William Wells Brown in "The Black Man" published in 1863 affirms The career of Douglass is more widely known than that of any other living Colored men, except perhaps, Alexander Dumas. The narrative of his life published in 1845 gave a new impetus to the black man's literature. All their stories of fugitive slaves faded away before his beautifully written, highly descriptive and thrilling memoir. "Mr. Douglass is tall and well made, his vast and fully de- --- RS od Reci DING REPR veloped forehead shows at once that he is a superior man intellectually. His voice is full and sonorous. There is a kind of eloquence issuing from the depth of the soul as from a spring, rolling along its copious floods, sweeping all before it, overwhelming by its very force, carrying upsetting, engulfing its adversaries and more dazzling and more thundering than the bolt which leaps from crag to crag." Listen to Harriett Reecher Stowe in her "Men of Our Times." "Frederick Douglass had as far to climb to get to the spot where the poorest white boy is born as that white boy has to climb to be President of the Nation and take rank with Kings and judges of the earth." William J. Simmons writing in 1887 in his "Men of Mark" declares, "Who can write the life of this great man and do him justice. His life is an epitome of a noble soul to be what God intended, despite the laws, customs and prejudices." This sketch cannot be concluded without a few quotations from Douglass: "Music is feeling that you hear."

"A race which cannot save its earnings, which spends all it makes and goes into debt when it is sick can never rise in the scale of civilization, no matter under what laws it may chance to be." "Social equality does not necessarily follow civil equality." "No power beneath the sky can make an ignorant people prosperous or a licentious people happy." "The fact that we have endured wounds and hardships which would have destroyed any other race and that we have increased in numbers and in public consideration ought to strengthen our faith in ourselves and our future." "No people ever did much for themselves or for the world without the sense and inspiration of native land, of a fixed home, of a familiar neighborhood, and common associations."

Negro Confesses He Acted Under the Guidance of a Herb Doctor. Because a Negro voodoo doctor of Lexington, Mo., gave him a "message" saying that his father had poisoned his mother with herbs and put a curse on her, causing her to become seriously ill, Tom Mundy, 21 years old, Negro, killed his father, Joe Mundy, with an ax on Monday night, according to a statement he made to the police late Tuesday afternoon. Tom Mundy formerly was employed as a chauffeur. His father conducted a coal stall at 1829 East Eighteenth street. The murder was committed in the coal shed. In his statement Mundy admitted he killed his father, saying that he was prompted by the "message" which was given his mother. His mother, he said, is ill at Lexington and several weeks ago visited a voodoo doctor to learn the cause of her illness. Mundy stated that his mother told him that the voodoo doctor DER, arch in recital Wednesday evening, Feb. Dixon will be assisted on the program ones, violinist. Tickets are on sale at 25 cents.

On Monday night Mundy and another Negro visited the shed. They hid behind the door inside the shed and waited for Mundy to enter. Tom Mundy stated that he struck the old man twice with an ax when he walked through the door, and then robbed the dying man of $70. --- He said he sent $30 to his sick mother, paid his room rent with $18.50 and gave his wife $20. He lived with her at 1868 East Fourteenth street. He explained his sudden enrichment by saying he won at a policy game. Then he returned to the shed and called the police, pretending that he had just then found his father. He was held in connection with the crime and late yesterday afternoon confessed. William Hayden, 25 years old, 2436 Euclid avenue, is being held by the police in connection with the killing. According to the police Mundy named Hayden as one of the men who accompanied him to the shed on Sunday night. Note—On Wednesday Munday was taken before Judge Latshew and allowed to plead guilty and was given life imprisonment. LEISURE HOURS REFLECTIONS FROM A QUIET CORNER. By Dennis S. Thompson A Christian's hands are gentle, yet strong; his voice kind, yet firm; his life is gracious, yet true; his feet are hasty, but they're willing to take short cuts out of the path of righteousness, his eyes are upon the Guide in the way, and they are not reduced from him by the flowers that grow on either side. With these thoughts in mind I have started upon life's eventful highway for the year 1920, wishing for each one that shall perchance, stumble upon these few remarks, a better and brighter year than last year. I hone there will be a closer affiliation, unity, equality and respect, among the different peoples who are working for a higher plane of civilization. I hope that the one will not try to build up themselves, without giving the other man a fair consideration; I hope that peace may prevail and prosperity reign. However, if our hopes are to be realized we must set our goal and stray straight to it; in too many instances our folks are content to pursue the path of "least resistance," and accomplish for only a short season. As a people, we have reached the point where we must aim at something definite; we must depend on other trial hitters, but we must begin to blaze the trail ourselves by the instigation of measures that shall have for their aim, the betterment of the race along all lines of endeavor. There is no doubt but that numbers of our people are doing excellent; some have risen from the depths to a high state of independence, in short they do not have to ask Bill or Jack to be their Chaperone, but they are fully able to go it alone. This is very commendable, and a thing that I admire; there is one thing certain, the Negro is going to have a little of everything on earth, if anyone else has it. The thing to do however, while he is getting, would be to grasp the things that shall be lasting, and upon which the future of the race could be built. Christianity is the beginning of the foundation upon which any people may build. The one great need among our people is for more Christians that are willing to study the Scriptures and learn more about what Christianity really means. This need can be easily met by having more classes for the training of workers in the churches. We have plenty of churches in which training of Christian workers could be carried on constantly, but seemingly we are averse to any great amount of training, preferring a Christianity demonstrating its works by "seeing things at night." I think we could improve a great deal in our Christian work if more could see the thing in the proper light; I am sure we would have more Christians in the churches, and not so many hypocrites as there are at present, because if you teach a person what the love of God really means, and instill that thought into their mind, and get it into their heart, they are very apt to magnify that thought in their daily lives and necessarily grow in strength in their Christian work. When the individual really understands what Christian ideals are, and what they stand for, we will have less trouble in improving the standard of citizenship. There are so many people who stand high in the affairs of life who will vouch for, and recommend others of questionable repute simply because they are in some high religious or social position.

As a Christian people we cannot afford to say a man is something that we know he is not, because we are only heaping coals of fire upon our own heads unto the day that we might have cool heads. Let us hope and pray for more clean-cut, sober mirded men and women of the race. I cannot say so much as I would like, but in conclusion, and briefly, yet our people who are putting so many hundreds of dollars into fine churches, begin this year to invest more in business. We cannot have our churches too fine, but we could get along with less churches by reorganizing and consolidating the smaller churches and putting our means and efforts together. Our people spend millions of dollars annually in Greater Kansas City, which if invested in general department store, giving employment to members of the race, would be a great blow to segregation, and other disadvantages against which we have to labor.

Now, with the race almost won. We pray to the God of our fathers. That the cup be withheld from our sons. For the sin of our first forefather We have paid through a thousand years. The debt that our forbears left us We have cancelled in blood and tears. The toil of our sires have enriched you. Our mothers have nourished your sons; But ever you hold to the ancient bond. And ever the interest runs. Shall we never have done with oppression. Is our liberty only a name; Shall we, who have suffered, be punished. While you, who have sinned know no blame. We Elders have banished ambition But our children: what fate shall be theirs. Shall they too, denied recognition. Be always contented with prayers? Achievement is born of incentive, The lure of hope's magic wand, Leads men to the crest of the mountain To view the fair vista beyond. Our children, denied an incentive, Held back by invisible bars, Are breathing the mists of the valley While yours climb the heights to the stars. —A. B. Douglass. Rev. J. B.

FEBRUARY 7. 1920. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Davis, 620 Garfield, K. C. K., entertained on the seventh anniversary, January 28. Their reception was largely attended and many beautiful presents received. The Kansas City Citizens Forum of Kansas City, Kans. will give a program for Garrison Forum at Garrison Field House Sunday, February 8. Prof. Buster will deliver principal address and Prof. Caswell W. Crews will read Current Events. Elsie Harris, a colored woman 27 years of age, received on the 15th of this month in the Federal Court a verdict for $9,334.00 nad costs, by reason of injuries she received the 19th day of July, 1918. While standing on the Seventh street Viaduct and viewing the departure of the colored soldiers for Camp Funston, Kansas, the floor of the bridge beneath where she and a number of others were standing, completely gave way and she, along with two others, was precipitated through the opening to the railroad tracks beneath—a distance of about 30 feet. The case was originally commenced in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, and when the same was ready for trial there, it was removed to the Federal Court on the grounds that the street car company, which was one of the defendants, could not, by reason of the strike then pending, get a fair and impartial trial. The verdict was against both the city of Kansas City, Kansas, and the Kansas City Railways Company. The Kansas City Railways Company was made a party defendant by reason of a franchise granted by the city to the street car company, whereby the street car company was to keep all viaducts over which it ran cars in a reasonably safe condition for the public travel. This is the largest verdict ever rendered in yandotte County to a colored person. W. C. Rickel was the attorney for Miss Elsie Harris. COLORED DEATH RATE IN KAN SAS CITY DOUBLE WHITES. There Is a Cause. The stable foundation upon which our government rests is health and work. Our national security rests wholly upon these; for the weakening of either would greatly impair, if not destroy, our national life. Recent investigation, contingent upon preparation for war, established the fact that diseases of various kinds are making inroads upon the health of our citizenship. It should be the aim and purpose of each of us to change this condition and bequeath to those who are coming after us a nation whose life is as free from disease germs as it is possible for it to be with present day scientific research and appliance. To accomplish this, there must be a general awakening upon the part of the citizenship of each community, in the illumination, as far as possible, all kinds of diseases. Sanitary conditions must be improved upon both within and without the homes of the masses of the people. The church, the school, the lodges, clubs and other groups of people must set themselves to the task of the preachment that will insure better health conditions. This will necessitate for the present an expenditure greater than has been made for this work heretofore. But when scientifically applied will not, by half, come up to the expenditures made in the loss of time, due to illness, the cost of physician and medicine and other expenditures caused by illness. This is a direct appeal to our people, for the reason that the demand for such work is greater among us. Our palatial homes, well constructed church buildings and other similar enterprises, demonstrate the fact that we, as individuals and organized bodies, know how to do things. This that we have accomplished reduces in a measure the ravages of disease; but fall very far short in a general way, due to the condition of the masses of our people. Our constructive ability must be enlarged upon and take in such institutions as guard the health of our people, as well as such institutions that protect our spiritual and mental life; for mental genius and spiritual growth thrive better in a healthy body. "The census bureau (which, of course, is the final tabulation) for 1920, shows in Kansas: "Death per 100,000 population—total, 1,114.8 with a death rate of our people more than double that of the white. It also shows that the death rate in Kansas for our people is higher than that of the United States as a whole, while for the whites it is lower than that of the United tStates as a whole. "The increase in deaths per disease of the Colored population over the whites is in general; for instance, the death rate for typhoid fever per 100,000 population is: "White, 16.7. "White, 16.7; Colored, 44.5. The greatest increase is in tuberculosis, which shows the rate to be: White, 41.5; Colored, 233.0. In malignant tumor, the death rates run fairly close together, although the white slightly exceeds the Colored. White, 61.7; Colored, 60.0. In diabetes, the whites exceed the Colored, but in cerebral hemorrhage the death rate for the Colored population jumps high again: White, 73.5; Colored, 126.8. Deaths from violence, the rate is: White, 71.9; Colored, 166.2. The only institution in this city designed to serve us for better health is Douglass Hospital, situated at 312 Washington Boulevard. This institution is woefully deficient and needs the immediate help of the entire citizenship of this community. The board of directors of Douglass Hospital have launched a campaign for the raising of funds with which to place this institution in a position wherein it can serve humanity to a greater advantage? This is an appeal to you and through you to your many friends soliciting your co-operation. The 14th day of February is the date for the drive. We'll appreciate any help or suggestions you may render. Yours for a healthy body and soul. CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.

WHAT GREAT MEN AND SCHOI ARS HAVE SAID OF THE BIBLE By Mrs. Rosetta B. Green. The writer feels that it is her peculiar mission as an ambassador of Christ to bear witness to the same beauty and joy in this Book of Books that she has THE BIBIE INSPIRED. How inspired? What do we mean when we say that the Bible is "An inspired" book? Without going into any philosophical definition of the word "inspired" it will be enough for our purpose to say that by "inspired" we mean that the prophets and Apostles in what they said and wrote were guided by the Holy Spirit in a manner higher than that of any of their times. Rightly to understand this we must bear in mind that these men all of them wrote in times when in all the world there was idolatry and polytheism everywhere. Before Christ when the Old Testament prophet spoke and wrote all the world expecting the Jews were polytheistic (that is worshipped man of Gods). When under these circumstances we find one set of men uniformly preaching the truth of one God, and He a Spirit we are forced to the conclusion that they did not invent or discover this truth unaid by the Divine Spirit. An influence higher than anything human must have pervaded their through and governed their speech and writings. To put the matter more concretely we believe that the Bible is inspired especially for three reasons. First: Because it reveals more truth about God, and the duty of man than any other boo; Second: Because of the fulfillment of prophecy uttered hundreds of years before the events occurred. Third: Because of the influence it has on the uplifting and purifying of human society. The fact is that the best of all we hold dear and that makes us what we are, has come to us from this Book. Thus we have briefly stated three reasons why we believe this Book is inspired. If you want one more proof of its inspiration just try and regulate your own life by its teachings and you will find that it is truly none other than the very word of God to your own Soul.—Dr. A. F. Schauffler. This is the last Book and I thank you so much Mr. Editor for the valuable space you have accorded me. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH, Rev. S. C. Doyle, Pastor Rev. S. C. Doyle, Pastor.

AN APPRECIATION. Mrs. Hendricks, 2018 E. 24th St. Kansas City, Mo. Dear Madam:— Hearing makes the soul richer, the heart happier, religion more enjoyable. Heaven dearer, God more adored. With normal hearing possibilities and sound produced so as to be effective; with same attuned to the harmony of heaven, in the human soul and voice we are enabled to praise God with the greatest satisfaction and suprem- --- est comfort and consolation. And, too, when we realize how the good Lord has given us various and varied talents; well may we, as the creatures of His handy-work pour out our unstinted joy and praise unto His Holy Name. Your gift of song, the soul, heart, life, joy, love put into it, as you sing from your soul, reaches the souls of others. Yea I know it; it is nothing less than God's gift to thee. May your golden harp, rust never. Forever keep it attuned. I know you will. Your accomplishment, and unsurpassed effort, during the funeral services of our beloved, to heaven gone, dear Brother Davis will be remembered gloriously revered, and rejoiced over; as long as man lives and eternity in her never-ending sweeps on. We thank you, ever and bless the good Lord for your being, and His loving kindness to us all. I am. Yours in His Name, H. L. BILLUPS, 4035 W. Belle Ph. St. Louis, Mo COMMUNITY SERVICE NOTES. Mr. E. T. Atwell, national director of Colored Community Service work, very agreeably surprised us on Saturday morning when he ran in for a few hours' visit enroute to Omaha, Neb. Mr. Atwell was for fifteen years business manager of Tuskegee Institute. He was, during the recent world war, personal advisor and assistant to Mr. Hoover, United States Food Administrator. Because of Mr. Atwell's recognized experience and ability along business lines and as an organizer, his services were secured by Community Service, Incorporated. It was largely due to Mr. Atwell's personal interest in Kansas City Colored work that our center was enlarged and that other very favorable concessions were made by national headquarters in behalf of the work here. Sunday night, Mr. Atwell made an address at Allen Chapel, on Community Service, after which he made five-minute talks at Second Baptist Church, St. Stephen's, Ebenezer, Monday at noon he spoke to the stu- PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER IN EVENING DRESS dent body and teachers of Lincoln High School. Monday afternoon he addressed the Methodist Ministers' Alliance at Allen Chapel, and the Baptist Ministers' Alliance at Metropolitan Temple on the Kansas Side. Mr. Atwell closed his visit with an informal meeting of campaign workers and the advisory board at the Community Center. The points emphasized in each of Mh. Atwell's talks were: That religious, educationally, and industriously, our people are making rapid strides along the line of personal and community betterment. This is due to the fact that the pastor, teacher and employers have given these phases proper supervision. But the great problem confronting us is the leisure time and its proper use. This supervision of leisure time is the big task which Community Service is undertaking. It was decided at the meeting of the campaign workers to extend the campaign through the fifth Sunday in February, at which time a big mass meeting will be held at the Community Center. The executive committee is mindful of the many recent calls for funds, and therefore appreciate deeply the co-operation and response shown in the first week of the campaign. The luncheon given for the C. S. workers, patrons and friends at the Pasco Y. M. C. A. Saturday, January 25th, was well attended, and this marked the opening of the financial campaign for the continuance of C. S. work in Kansas City. Mr. Henry F. Burt and Mr. E. F. Brown, C. S. organizers, were present and emphasized the work to be done by C. S. in Kansas City. Monday the class in salesmanship met at the Community Center. Mr. Glazier, manager of the Reid Lange Company, in company with Mr. Pendleton, from New York, were present and stated the opportunity for Colored young men and women to get in the commercial world is one that should not be slighted. Mr. W. G. Mosely, who is endeavoring to have the young people take advantage of this great opportunity, urgently requested all present to help increase the membership of the class. Tuesday night class would meet on Monday night, that a larger number might be reached. A second class in salesmanship will be conducted on Friday night. The musical concert, given by friends and patrons of Community Center, was well attended. Several numbers were omitted because of illness of participants. We wish to thank our friends for their loyal support. Thursday, January 29, the Captains and Team Workers of the C. S. campaign met at the Y. M. C. A. at 6 o'clock to make reports of work done to date. Mrs. Howard M. Smith, captain, of $5.00 team, reported $189 pledged, $80 cash; Mrs. Clara Adams, captain of churches, clubs and orders, reported pledged $267, $44.00 cash; Dr. Dibble, captain of $10, reported $75 pledged, $50 cash; Wayne Miner Post, responsible for $1,000, will report at their regular meeting Thursday night.
