If you will notice, Black Men, all the leaders in the hell-raising that has been going on in the Republican party in the last month live in this Ward, the Ward that disgraced itself by attempting to humiliate that peerless and courageous leader of the party in the State, Hon. Walter S. Dickey. And you will also notice that in spite of the fact that more than three hundred Negro voters live in this Ward, none of them appear upon the delegation. Scan it closely and you will see that A. I. Beach, J. D. Bowersock, Matthew A. Foster, Solon T. Gilmore, Raymond G. Barnett, David M. Proctor, and one ex-Judge Joseph F. Kiernan whom every Negro in Kansas City would be delighted to have on the ticket so that they might demonstrate what a big Democratic majority they could roll up for his opponent and men of that ilk are the ones who are trying to disrupt the Republican party at the behest of the Kansas City Star under the guise of being Purists and having party welfare at heart. That they might be shown up in their true light, no opposition ticket has been placed against them, but if the Sun knows anything about the temper of the REAL, TRUE BLUE militant, HONEST-TO-GOD REPUBLICANS in this city, they're going to get the most crushing defeat in the other wards of the city ever administered to a silk stocking in this old town. By Chas. P. Wilson, Jefferson City, Mo. DR. D. M. MILLER ELEVENTH WARD The Kansas City Sun MEN, VOTE THE ise, Color A NOBLE CITIZEN. The Colored people of Kansas City have higher regard for no man in this great city than Hon. Harry A. Barker former City Treasurer and one of Kansas City's most substantial business men. Mr. Barker is not only a leader, a Christian gentleman and a high class citizen but he is a man of broad sympathies that take in all the people and one who is ever working for the advancement of his city and its people. No man lives who can truthfully charge Harry Barker with ever doing a contemptible or underhanded deed. And the Negro people on various occasions have had evidences of his big-heartedness and his generous recognition. The regular Republican delegation is fortunate indeed in having at the head of its delegation such a splendid citizen as Mr. Harry A. Barker and his very name inspires confidence among all classes who live in the eleventh Ward and especially among the Colored people who have learned by bitter experience to judge men of the dominant race not by their words but by their deeds. The Sun predicts that under the leadership of Mr. Barker the Regular Republican Delegation will roll up an overwhelming majority in the eleventh Ward. And by his safe and sane counsel nothing will be done that will create a breach between the factions of the Republican party that will not be healed on election day. Every Negro in the eleventh ward from a debt of gratitude as well as race loyalty owes it to himself and family to vote for the delegation Friday upon which appears the name of Harry A. Barker. LINCOLN THEATRE A DECIDED SUCCESS The new and beautiful Lincoln Theatre at 18th and Lydia avenue judging from the remarkable attendance the past week is filling a long felt want among the Negroes of this city, and is destined to revolutionize Movie conditions on eighteenth street. The Managers and employees are universally courteous and considerate of their patron's welfare; their orchestra is one of the best ever heard in the City; and their pictures are among the latest and bet being shown in this city. The Sun congratulates Messrs Eisen, Spicer and Goldman on their energy and forethought in providing such a beautiful house for our people and if the standard of plays and sanitary conditions are maintained as at present they will have unbounded success. With Spicer's theatre on independence avenue, Panama on Twelfth street, and the elegant Lincoln on 18 street, the beautiful Love's theatre on Vine street, the Colored people feel that they are being splendidly served along this line of entertainment. Oscar Micheaux, "Within our Gates" has been packing the house this week to the doors. Wilberforce, Ohio, March 3.—Wilberforce University went "Over the Top" with its "Victory Rally" last week on Founders Day by raising $80,000 in one day. This is the largest sum that has ever been raised for education among our people in the history of the race. By the first Sunday in April the sum is expected to be $100,000. Money raised by Districts; 9th Episcopal, Bishop C. S. Smith; $3,500; 4th Episcopal, Bishop L. J.

Why Has the Star Changed Its Estimate of Mr. Marks? Has the Proposed Gas Grab Something to Do With It? Keen Observers Ask Quetions. Entered as second-class matter. August Mio., under the postmaster of 5. 1879. A NOBLE CITIZEN. When Thomas R. Marks tendered his resignation as police commissioner, April 11, 1910, the Star carried an editorial laudatory of the retiring official. He was pictured as a self-respecting citizen, an instrument for the public weal. Colonel William R. Nelson was then alive, active and in control of the editorial policy of that newspaper. Since his retirement as police commissioner Mr. Marks has held no public office; he has been a private citizen. Today he is the target of Seested, Kirkwood, Kemper, et al, the two former being in charge of the Star, and the latter their ally in an attempt to unload a worthless gas property on the people of Kansas City. We are not eulogizing Mr. Marks; we are merely quoting from the Star and asking questions. Why has the Star changed in its attitude toward Mr. Marks? There is a well defined plan to raise the price of gas to $1 and then when the people howl sell the plant to the city for ten times its actual value. Seested, Kirkwood and Kemper are the real powers behind the throne. Marks is opposed to their scheme and of course we learn from the Star that he has committed every crime. A GREAT RALLY. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1920. MARKS THEN AND NOW "Of all the incumbents of public office in this community, Marks has been the one whose vigorous and effective service has been especially odious to certain classes of citizens who do not hesitate to howl when hurt and who are adept in the use of misrepresentations that attract a share of public sympathy to their assistance."—From an editorial in the Kansas City Star, April 11, 1910.

So, within a week after a- in which the people dis- terworld's disguised attack Marks, the governor's manif- turbulent commissioner is --- it it is true that Governor Hadley has continuously by reason of the activities of the office of Police Commissioner, a public office in this community, whose vigorous and effective service has to certain classes of citizens who do hurt and who are adept in the art that attract a share of public sympathy.

No doubt it is true that Governor Hadley has been bothered pretty continuously by reason of the activities of Thomas E. Marks in the office of Police Commissioner. Of all the incumbents of public office in this community, Marks has been the one whose vigorous and effective service has been especially odious to certain classes of citizens who do not hesitate to howl when hurt and who are adept in the use of misrepresentations that attract a share of public sympathy to their assistance. Actual money profits were the things at stake in the case of these citizens, whose prosperity was damaged by Commissioner Marks' course of action. The privilege of selling whiskey on Sunday is an exceedingly valuable one in a big city, when the privilege is limited to a few. The privilege of protected gambling, similarly specialized, is something vastly worth while. Sharing safely in the earnings of pickpockets, strong-arm men, bunco steerers and other generously disposed hustlers of easy money, is a means of getting rich quickly that no crook can afford to disregard when the golden opportunity comes his way. The exit keys of the workhouse are an ornament to any politician's watch chain. There is easy revenue in the luckless women of the town when they are made to know that the money they get is rightfully the property of the men who consent to be supported by them in exchange for security against the predatory hand of the law. When it is carefully organized, there is only one way to interfere with a combination of these interests, and that is by operating the police against them instead of as partners in the enterprise. In Kansas City the combination was working beautifully until Commissioner Marks, with bullheaded courage and a general disregard of whose china he was breaking, smashed it. Marks restored self-respect to the police force and gave protection to decency instead of crime, and thereby he made himself the target for incessant hatred. Not only that. The governor who had appointed him was immediately and continuously annoyed by the disturbed disreputables, operating through their friends in cleaner clothes. Seemingly it is easy to secure the hearty assistance of representatives of "the best citizens" for the worst purposes, if you know how to go about it. The greatest and most important of the profitable industries which Commissioner Marks ruthlessly demolished was the business of buying and selling elections. Crooked registration, crooked voting, intimidation, repeating, gang rule generally, had been a source of power and prosperity for a variegated assortment of men and interests, when Marks put the power of a self respecting police force behind the good purposes of a unanimously honorable board of election commissioners. Three elections—one on an excise proposition that arose from the wreckage of the criminal protection combine; one on a franchise that meant oppression of the people of this town unto the third generation, and which depended for its adoption upon the most shameless bribery ever offered voters; and one on a general city ticket, in which false issues were raised to muddy the waters of a clear question of public policy—these three elections opened the eyes of the citizens when certain analysis of the votes disclosed what had been happening, as a habit, on election day, before Marks interfered. All this caused accumulative discomfort for the governor, who had appointed Marks on the police board. Instead of dwindling, the pestering of Mr. Hadley grew with each manifestation of Marks' assertion of power for decency. The United States mail, the long distance telephone, the front door crowded with business all pertaining with the obnoxious character of the activites of Commissioner Marks. Protest, written, wired, bellowed and whispered, in the form of accusation, innuendo and flat misrepresentation, showered upon the governor, to his vast annoyance. So, within a week after a clean, honest general city election in which the people distinctly refused to back up the underworld's disguised attack upon Police Commissioner Marks, the governor's manifest wishes become effective and the turbulent commissioner is out. Peace unto the Governor! --- --- Because Marks and his friends in the regular Republican organizations are opposed to the gas grab and the designing plans of those who would increase the street car fare to ten cents, Seested and Kirkwood, representing the controlling element in the Star office have joined hands with Mr. Kemper to name the Republican candidate for mayor. Mayor Cowgill is Kemper's man; he can be depended upon. But there is grave danger that Cowgill cannot be reelected, due to his championing the cause of the street railways company and other public utilities corporations. The facts were known to Mr. Kemper and the banker-politician conceived in his fertile brain a plan whereby he was certain to be on the safe side. He would gather together Seested and Kirkwood, representing the publicity end of the plan, and a number of so-called "best citizens" in the Republican party and start a movement against the bosses. This invisible boss would dethrone all bosses and enthrone himself as "master of all I survey." If Cowgill should be defeated, the gas grab would not go through, and in order to make certain that the scheme could be prosecuted to a successful conclusion the Gas Brigade decided to control the nominee of the Republican city convention. The candidate on both tickets would be favorable to the grab. Clever scheme eh? The Soviet of Five was the result of Kemper's first move in his plan to control the Republican convention following his alliance with the Star. Then came the attack on the bosses with Marks the target. We hear nothing about Democratic bosses, although for years the Star has been telling the people of the forces of corruption represented by Tom and Joe. But conditions have changed in the Star office. Seested, Kirkwood and Kemper now control the editorial policy of that newspaper. And because Marks refuses to join hands with them in carrying out their designs he is pictured as a vulture. Why this change? We believe that if Marks would join the Big Cinch crowd and pay homage to Kemper, Seested, Kirkwood, et al, the fight on him would cease in fifteen minutes. "Seemingly it is easy to secure the hearty assistance of representatives of the 'best citizens' for the worst purposes, if you know how to go about it," the Star said in its editorial eulogizing Mr. Marks. The Sun believes that Seested, Kirkwood, Kemper, et al., know how to go about it and are practicing that game today. The Kansas City Star told us that "Marks restored self-respect to the police department and gave protection to decency instead of to crime, and thereby he made himself the target for incessant hatred." And this is the same Thomas R. Marks whom the Star attacks today. Why doesn't Marks join the Seested, Kemper, Kirkwood Gas Brigade and get immunity from criticism? That would do the work and Marks again would be the object of the Star's eulogies. We are opposed to all bosses and particularly invisible bosses. But we believe in fair play, and for the benefit of our readers we quote from an editorial in the Star of April 11, 1910. It refers to Thomas R. Marks.

Possibly the only celebration of the anniversary of the birth of the Father of his Country by the Negroes of this city occurred at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, Monday evening, February 23, 1920. The principal speaker was Professor Caswell Crews who his forceful, pointed and scholarly presentation of "National Progress" gave a resume of the leading facts of our Country's history that has hardly been surpassed. He acknowledged the Country's greatness, but pointed out her mistakes not the least of which was her treatment of the Negro. He showed how classical education was responsible for intellectual advancement and that to hold his own the Negro must cultivate it. Ebenezer Choir furnished inspiring music while the famous Western University Orchestra punctuated the evening's program with stirring strains. Miss Catherine Adams rendered two soprano solos with such sweetness that makes her a formidable rival to Kansas City's prima donna. Mr. E. T. Horsey gave an excellent cornet number. Miss Florence Robinson was especially happy in Dunbar's party as was Mrs. Maud Jefferson in her appeal to lofty patriotic ideals. Sickness prevented the appearance of Mesdames Jessie Novel, Ona B. Wilson and W. T. Osborne. Laudable in purpose as was this celebration, Mrs. Anna Robers, its promoter had in mind the future good.

Conrad, manager of the Park Sanitarium, located in Guthrie, and the largest institution of its kind operated by the race. There is none like it in all the country, and Dr. Conrad with his wife by his side and some of the leading physicians in America is doing his bit to prolong human life, and making an important contribution to civilization. The Park Sanitarium evolved from the brains of Dr. Conrad, who has put his very life into it, and all of his earnings, believing that he should do something to help the suffering, and restore them to health if possible. People come to this place from all parts of the country, and the wards and private rooms are kept full all the time. Today Dr. J. Edward Perry, performed a most difficult operation on a woman from Vernon, Okla., and at the time of writing she is doing well. Dr. Perry is considered by the profession as one of the leading surgeons in America. Just a few days ago he was appointed by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad as one of the assistant surgeons, which alone says that his ability and worth is recognized. Step by step the race is making its way to the top. The Park Sanitarium is a combination of Battle Creek, Mich., and the great hospital of the Mayo Brothers in Minnesota. Not only is Dr. Conrad trained for the profession, but nature has made a contribution to his success, by supplying on his place a mineral well with wonderful healing properties. It is an artesian well sending forth a stream to help mankind. Dr. Perry is the first member of his race to be thus recognized by the Santa Fe.

SATURDAY. MARCH 6. 1920. SCHOOL GIRLS OF MISSOURI VAL LEY BEGIN CONTESTS FOR BASKET BALL SUPREMACY. The Kansas Industrial and Education al Institute Girls of Topeka Take Hard Fought Game From Western University Girls by 14-9 Sorec. Lincoln High School Girls Defeated by Summer High School Girls. Kansas City. Mo. February 20, 1920 The Interstate Athletic Association opened its basketball season for girls at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. of Kansas City Friday February 20th. A larger crowd than witnessed any game during the boys' season saw two thrilling games among the school girls of the Missouri Valley. In the opening game Sumner High School of Kansas City, Kansas defeated Lincoln High School of Kansas City, Mo. to the tune of 16 to 13. In the second contest Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute defeated Western University in one of the thrilling and exciting games seen upon the Paseo floor this season. The Topeka girls, though smaller than their more experienced rivals, startled the large crowd by their speed, accuracy and ease in handling the ball. Miss Anna Washington, the smallest player in the league made the first score of the game from a free throw which put Topeka in the lead. A few seconds later the tallest player of the league. Miss Armanda Estes, gave Western a one point lead by caging a field goal from under the basket. Miss Washington then caged another from the free throw line but Miss Estes again gave Western the advantage by caging her second field goal. Topeka came one point nearer by Miss Washington's third tally from the fifteen foot mark. A few seconds later Miss Kernell, who found it impossible during any part of the game to evade the clever guarding of Miss Hattie Lunsford, caged her first foul goal after several attempts. The score then stood 5 to 3 in Western's favor. Miss Greer then evened the score by tossing a field goal for Topeka. The half ended in a 5 to 5 deadlock. The little girls of Topeka opened the second half with a burst of speed that took Western from her feet. Miss Washington, through a difficult shot from the field, gave Topeka a two point lead which Western was never able to overcome. She later caged another from a difficult position on the floor after cleverly evading a Western guard and center Miss Washington was the sensation Use DR.

She is acting Captain for the Topeka team and although she has never played basketball before this season she handled herself and the team in a way which would have been very creditable to a seasoned player. The fact that Miss Washington stands about 4 feet 8 inches in height added to her attractiveness. The ease with which she scored from the free throw line drew the applause of the crowd. Out of ten attempts she succeeded in dropping eight through the net. Miss Armanda Estes was easily the star for Western, she having been responsible for six of her team's nine points, on field goals. Miss Estes' height gives her considerable advantage as a forward due to the girls' rules concerning guarding. Miss Estes is an exceptionally good forward and will cause her opponents in the league considerable worry before the season is over. While all of the players on both teams played a good game special mention should be made of Miss Hattie Lunsford of the Topeka team who held her opponent scoreless without committing a single foul during the entire game.

A FEW MORE "REGULARS" (New York Telegraph) I notice that the 400 regulars who were ordered to Lexington, Ky., for the purpose of preventing a Negro lynching had a very sobering effect on the lynch law populace. The Kentucky National Guard, Suh—what as it is, Suh, but narrowly averted another superb Southern hanging. If there were more "regulars" in Kentucky and elsewhere there would not be so many incipient lynchings. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. MARCH 6. 1920.

The South in general and Kentucky in particular should be grateful for Governor Morrow's firmly courageous action. In using the militia to disperse an armed mob bent on lynching a Negro prisoner he has struck a blow at Lynch Law which will long be remembered and which should have salutary effect in effacing it altogether. The South needs more executives of his stamp of conscientiousness and fearlessness. That five people had to be killed while he was thus preserving law and order is deplorable. But there will be no disposition to blame Governor Morrow for this. The mob which sought to override lawful authority brought these casualties on itself, and is fortunate that more of its members did not fall before the riffles of the defenders of the government. Lynching is an abomination peculiar to America. It is an evil tradition which has operated to stain the good repute of an otherwise law-abiding people. Governor Morrow's way is the only effective way. The Nation owes him gratitude for the example he has set.

Goshor of Philadelphia, who visited this city several weeks ago. Enroute home she visited in Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Gosher is loud in her praises of Kansas City's aggressive Colored citizens. Indianapolis, Ind., March 2—F. D. Ransom, general manager of the Mime. C. J. Walker Mg. Co., was appointed on the Republican States Platform Committee to represent the Colored people of the State of Indiana. This is the first recognition given a race man in this capacity in the history of the state. Mr. Ransom is greatly in demand as a public speaker. WHAT IS A MAN WORTH? The following bulletin for clerks, salesmen, foremen and the like is really food for thought, if true. Will some of our scientists scheck it up? "In things a man weighing 160 lbs. is chemically a walking grocery store of: 75 candles, 1 bar of soap, 6 teaspoonfuls of salt, 1 bowl of sugar, 100 dozen eggs, 4 ten-penny nails the hydrogen for a balloon, the phosphorus in 8,000 boxes of matches." If the value of these things is reckoned at tolay's market rates, man will be worth less than a horse and infinitely less than a silver fox. In producing ower the average man is worth $10,000 to his country. The value of some men is millions. They are never paid in money for their worth. This reward is to deliver all they have. Is your C. O. D.? A. M. E. BISHOPS. To meet the new era which is exceedingly trying and exacting at least five new bishops must be elected. Out this way three prominent candidates have been mentioned. Rev. Julian Caldwell for his special fitness in dealing with young folks; Rev. J. R. Ransom for his stalwart, strenuous and unshakeable earnestness and Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, remarkable for his scholarship, his unswerving advocacy of the uniform and equal standard for black folks and his inability to keep quiet on the wrongs of his people. He possesses a calm that crumbles opposition, a logic that goes to the core of a fallacy and a knowledge that constantly reinforces his onslaughts against prejudice and withal he is a christian gentleman and preacher thoroughly equipped for the arduous tasks that the coming years will present to the great A. M. E. Church. 1 AS OTHERS SEE US. A contrary view of the advancement of the United States expressed by the darker people of the world would of course be attributed to prejudice but this view expressed by a foremost member of one of the purest of the Caucasian nations is today the least gittering. According to the Amsterdam Telegraaf Mr. William Oudegemest, leader of the Dutch Labor Party just returned home from the attendance of the International Labor Congress at Washington, D. C., finds these conditions in the United States of America. Politics on a level with Holland's in 1840, America has reached Holland's economical stage in 1880, gives the impression of the closing days of the nobility, when the peasant thought their noble lords the only things of importance. Nobles and Barons being replaced by bankers and powerful business men. General education is very low. People do not read. Here we have been looking down on Holland. This truly beats the Dutch! If the Gompers of Holland entertains the above view, what must the Elliots, the Butlers and the Lodges of Holland think? WILSON'S MISSILES By Ona B. Wilson. What man calls greatness is a mere trifle compared with the greatness of God. Some seek greatness through publicity, others through service and others from association. Greatness through publicity if published by others is all right; through service if enacted for love is well; from associating with great people is good. But if the one that has given publicity tires of so doing one ceases to be great. If service rendered by others is accepted without recognition and credited to self or if it becomes a burden instead of a pleasure away goes greatness. If through some one thought to be great you seek from their association to also become great and find that in your search for greatness you meet rot, greatness again takes flight. Who is to blame? No one has the power to make you great. Greatness is not a garment to be worn loosely. It radiates from the innest soul and shines out, it comes from something, not nothing and it brings with it dignity, honor and success. Many go through the world lauding the success of an individual to themselves. When it isn't true, if one has the power to make others great; what is the matter with them? What's the cause of their failure? No it's the bit "I" that gets in the way of the egotistic fellow and makes him feel that he is the one that is responsible for this or the other. When no one can truly be great, unless they desire to do so. Mme.

Well we'll do it by and by.

Truly the greatest that has radiated from this electrifying and wonderful woman in the person of Mrs. Anna Roberts, Dist. Supt. of S. S., and Press, of the Educational Missionary organization for Western University and organized less than five months ago by Bishop Parks, is not a surface shine but comes from the deep recesses of a soul that desires to be of service to others.

T. Osborne. Two beautiful selections from the famous Ebenezer chold under the direction of Mrs. Louise Stewart. The master of ceremonies, Prof. Wm. H. Dawley was most eloquent and fluent of speech in his presentation of the program.

Miss Katherine Adams captivated the audience with her rich voice and beautiful solo. L. W. Horsey, Jr., played a cornet solo the like of which in sweetness and melody is hard to beat.
