DOUGLASS GREAT WHEATLEY-PROVIDENT FASHION SHOW APRIL 6, AT LABOR TEMPLE This Is a Republican Year VOTE RIGHT VOLUME XI, NUMBER 29. COL "THE REPU GREAT WHE ATTENTION, NEGRO VOTERS! We are on the eve of one of the greatest municipal campaigns that has ever been waged in this city or any other city in the nation. On one side are arrayed the forces of good government, under the banner of the grand old party; on the other, under the banner of democracy, led by the machine, which has dominated this city for years and has given us the most inefficient and corrupt government that we have ever had. The Republican party is appealing for the support of the Negro vote, believing that 90 per cent of the Negroes of DR. E. C. BUNCH, D. D. S. One of Kansas City's most promising young professional men and Republican Committeeman from the Eighth Ward which he says will return a Republican majority next Tuesday. Kansas City will stand shoulder to shoulder with the decent white citizens and make Kansas City a fit place to live. This support is solicited, not because you are Negroes, but it is solicited on a broader principle, and that is Americanism. Kansas City will stand shoulder to any of the previous dinners given by shoulder with the decent white citi- this body. The Negro has always been found a loyal, true and patriotic citizen. In every crisis he has stood loyally by his country. He has never been a slacker and the time has arrived in the present campaign for the Negroes of this city to join forces with the thinking people of the other race and wrest our city from the most corrupt political machine that every existed. We have no personal feeling against the Negro who supports the Democratic party, but in making this appeal for the support of the Republican ticket we are appealing to the best manhood and womanhood of the race. DON'T FORGET that support of the Democratic ticket in Kansas City means that your vote is helping to make a Democratic Government of the State. Before casting your ballot think that you are exercising one of the greatest privileges of Freemen, and that is the right of franchise (and think again of the millions of Negroes living south of the Mason & Dixon's line, who are denied the right of franchise granted to them by the Constitution, annulled by state laws, and think again of the howling mob bent on the lynching of human beings and ask yourself, "Am I fair to myself or my race by VOTING the DEMOCRATIC ticket; for is not the doctrine of state rights a Democratic doctrine? When you vote the Democratic ticket in Missouri you vote to sustain Tillman, Vardaman, Williams and Democratic statesmen and leaders of this kind, who believe that the Negro has no rights in the politics ATTENTION!

The service was by the girls of the class under the supervision of Mrs. Sarah P.

About sixty members of the committee and faculty attended and brief addresses were made by Messrs. W. C. Hueston, C. H. Calloway, Jefferson, Drs. Howard M. Smith, T. C. Unthank, J. E.

Principal Lee interestingly, but briefly, outlined the various activities of the year and announced an enrollment of 217 boys, 424 girls; a total of 641, making this one of the largest high schools of the race in this country. At the conclusion of his address, Mr. Lee announced the plans relative to the trip to Tuskegee and quite a number signed up for the trip.

One of the finest Colored pictures ever produced by any Colored cast will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre, April 8, 9 and 10th. "A MAN'S DUTY" deals with a subject somewhat different from that which is made the theme of most Colored productions. It shows the Negro as he really is today with the advantages of education and affluence. It is a finely drawn story that thrills and pulsates with action. The hero of this play, the renowned Lincoln player, Clarence Brooks, is falsely accused by one of his associates; believing it his duty under the circumstances to remain silent, he is spurned by his friends and cast aside by his fiancee. After many adventures, he is befriended by a stranger who assists him in proving his innocence. Mr. Brooks is supported by the cleverest cast of Colored stars ever assembled for any Colored play. The Colored women of Clarksville, Tenn., have set the pace for all other women to follow, whether they be white or Colored. They have organized a bank! We believe that it is the only bank of its kind in the world. The bank has been incorporated with a capital of $15,000. All positions in the bank, from president down to porter, are held by women.

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1920. What Has the Democratic Machine Ever Done for the Colored Man? To those who have lived in Kansas City for the last twenty years the answer is easy. All the Democrats have ever done for the Negro has been to prostitute his vote. It is easy to remember when they first took an interest in your vote and how they have always protected and advanced the interests of your vicious element and never have they bestirred themselves in your efforts for social advancement. Make a cold analysis of the proposition and see where in your best interests lie. Your race is on trial always and to those of us who know you best we know that you are and have made phenomenal advancement. If the Democrats do buy you you can readily see that you are kicking yourself in the face. It is a foregone conclusion that the better residence wards will go strong for Foster and comparisons of this sort are always odious. The Democrats are openly boasting that they have you sewed up and safely put away in their inside pocket. All the idle flattery that is so easily dispensed goes a very short distance but with all the earnestness we possess we want you people to know that the men at the head of the Republican organization are depending upon the Negro to elect this ticket. The Democrats are sure of the vote of the North End and the only way that we can overcome this vote is to combine your strength with the residence wards and sweep them out of town. A review of history shows that the Republican party has always been the element that has protected the interests of the Colored Race and the situation as now before you is no different. It is an actual fact that the present movement is Kansas City first and the Republican party second, but as long as the Democrats are satisfied to wallow around with their filthy Bosses it is simply up to the Republicans to clean Kansas City of this vicious element. You know that there is no operative decent thought in the minds of the Democratic machine and there is no hope for you in any promise they may make. You want clean streets, better living conditions, fair treatment for you and yours. We firmly believe that Foster is the man. Foster is young and a resident of Kansas City. Cowgill is over seventy and his interests are all out of Kansas City and always will be. Foster has no political ambition. He is simply volunteering his services for your benefit. Cowgill always has been a feeder at the political erib and what Kansas City needs and must have is a modern man with modern ideas to make it possible for us to advance all together. This article is written at the Republican headquarters by a man who has absolutely no ax to grind. It is written by a man who knows that the Republican organization is going down the line to do the fair and honest thing by the Negro people. Do not think that there will be any sympathy for the Negro gambler or crook but the honest, intelligent and progressive Negro may rest assured that he will always be received openly and fairly by both J. Pearce Kane and Matthew A. Foster if by your sufferance they are elected. A MAN'S DUTY.

That the Roberts Automobile Brokers are delivering "the goods" is amply demonstrated by the fact that each week they continue to have larger sales and each customer testifying that he is perfectly satisfied with his purchase. During the week the following sales were made to well known gentlemen in this city: To Dr. J. Ottaway Henley who is now serving an Interneship at the old City Hospital and when his time has expired about April 15 expects to go into Dr. Fletcher's office—a new Buick Coupe. To the Rev. J. B. St. Felix Isaacs a new Hupmobile. Rev. Isaacs says he was shown a large number of cars by the various Automobile firms of the City but finally came to the old reliable and always to be depended upon Roberts Automobile Brokers. Mr. Nathaniel Shumaker who was First Sergeant in the 225 Field Signal Battalion, the same company as Mr. Homer Roberts purchased a seven Passenger Chalmers Touring Car.

One of the most prominent Democratic members of the congressional committee declared: "This is not a matter for congress, or even for the courts, to settle, it is a thing that the people themselves should and must attend to. They have it in their power to stop these frauds." Mhy don't they do it? Today this question confronts the voters of this city. Why don't they unite and rescue their community from the political gangsters, who have strangled every protest of good citizenship for years? Why don't the people of Kansas City clean it up? Scores of other American cities as badly afflicted as thisrose and overthrew the organizations of political crookedness. Outsiders who read or are told of conditions here are amazed that the people do not act for their own protection and sweep the agencies of criminality and immorality out of power and establish a reign of law, of safety and of decency. to act with courage and independence for the larger reward of municipal righteousness. This is not a "non-partisan" movement except in spirit. The men on the Republican ticket are frankly Republicans.

JUNIOR TOPIC-The Walk to Emmaua. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-The Proofs That Jesus Rose From the Dead. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC-The Fact and the Meaning of the Resurrection. 1. Two Disciples Journeying to Emmaua (vv. 13-10). 1. Who they were. One was Cleopas (see v. 18); some think the other was Luke, whose modesty forbade him to give his name; but it is not definitely known. Why they were going we can only conjecture; perhaps they were only walking away from Jerusalem to relieve their anxiety and drown their sorrow. The ordeal through which they had passed left them somewhat stunned; they needed the physical exertion and quiet of the country to calm their nerves. They were sad (see v. 17). 2. What they talked about (v. 14). "All the things which had happened." Strange and wonderful things had taken place and they could not but commune together concerning them. 3. Jesus joins them (vv. 15, 16). It was while they communed together and reasoned about Jesus that he appeared to them. He never leaves those in doubt who sincerely seek the light; he promises to meet even with two or three who gather in his name (Matt. 18-20). Those gathered in his name have their heart toward him in love, and their talk is concerning him. If we would have Jesus draw near to us more frequently then let us more frequently commune together concerning him. 11. The Conversation on the Way. (vv. 17-27). 1. Jesus' question (v. 17). Though he was a stranger to them, his question did not provoke resentment; there must have been something in his manner and tone which unlocked their hearts. 2. The disciples' answer (vv. 18-24). Though surprised that there should be a single man in the confines of Jerusalem unacquainted with the things which had recently come to pass, they spoke fully and freely of what they had commined about. (1) It was concerning Jesus of Nazareth (v. 19). This Jesus was mighty in word and deed before God and the people. (2) Delivered, condemned and crucified by the chief priests (v. 20). (3) Shattered hopes of the disciples (v. 21). They had reposed their hope in him as the Redeemer of Israel. (4) Their bewilderment (vv. 22-24). The story of the women concerning the empty sepulchre reminded them of Christ's words that he would arise on the third day. A new hope seemed to be arising in their hearts, yet they were too t mild to take their stand upon it. (5) Jesus expounding the Scriptures to them (vv. 25-27). He chided them for their unbelief of the prophetic Scriptures (v. 25). What sorrow and perplexity they would have escaped had they believed what God had recorded! Jesus showed them that what had happened was exactly what the Scriptures had foretold concerning the Messiah and that It behooved Christ thus to suffer and to enter into his glory. They would have been glad for the way things had turned out if they had believed what God had revealed. He brought the disciples to the written Word to prove his resurrection. To the Word and to the testimony should be our way always; such practice saves from fanaticism and from imposition of false teachers. Christ will be the interpreter of the Scriptures to all who will hear him. III. The Lord Reveals Himself (vv. 28-35). 1. Nearing the end of the journey (vv. 28, 20). He made as though he would go farther, but they constrained him to abide with them. It would have been a great loss to them if he had not been "constrained." 2. Sitting together at the table (vv. 30, 31). His blessing of the bread and breaking it were so familiar that they knew him. Then, too, they may have seen the nailprints in his hands while he broke the bread. They now knew for a certainty that the Lord whom they had mourned as dead was alive and in their very presence. If we had eyes to perceive we could see Jesus daily walking and talking with us. What a different life would be ours if we would but see him! 3. The disciples convinced (vv. 32-35). They at once returned to Jerusalem and reported to the eleven what things were done and how the Lord had revealed himself to them in the breaking of the bread. They exclaimed, "The Lord is risen indeed!" May Christ come to every believer on this Easter occasion in such a way that we may know beyond the peradventure of a doubt that he is really alive! Glory of the Father's House. Glory of the Father's House. It were effort vain as heartless to minimize the grief of the many who mourn. But with how much of comfort can they look from their desolate homes, if they can think of those for whom they grieve, not as dead, but as gone on a journey to the eternal summer-land. They have escaped the chill and the blight of this world's sin and shame. In the glory of the Father's house they await our coming. A little longer we tarry here, until the sun of life's little day shall sink to its setting. A little longer, until the morning breaks, and the shadows flee away. Then, in the home-land we shall see those whom we have loved and lost awhile, and him who is the Resurrection and the Life.—Western Christian Adoree. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS East Is Against West on St. Lawrence Improvement WASHINGTON.—The question whether or not it is advisable to improve the St. Lawrence river so that ports on the Great Lakes will have access eastward to the sea, so that deep draft ocean-going freighters can load at Chi- is represented by Obadiah Garner, of Maine; R. B. Glenn of North Carolina, and Clarence D. Clark of Wyoming. The Canadians are Charles A. McGrath, A. J. Powell and Sir William Hearst. Mr. Gardner is chairman. The points to be considered by the commission come under the following heads: (1) Desirability of the suggested waterway; (2) probable effect of the improvement on the development of commerce, both on the Great Lakes and between lake ports and the seaboard; (3) influence of the improvements on the industrial development on either side of the border, it being estimated that fully 2,500-000 horse power can be developed; (4) effect on existing, or projected, water routes between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic, with special reference to the New York barge canal. During the hearing at Buffalo it developed that representatives of the New York barge canal, together with interests along its line, are antagonistic to the proposed St. Lawrence development. All of those who represent the West are in favor of the project. Proud Congressmen Boast of Record Corn Yields PROCEEDINGS that went in brief about like this produced much laughter and applause in the house the other day: Rubey of Missouri began it by saying: "Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to speak for about three minutes." want to say to the gentleman from Missouri, who is manifesting so much state pride, that Alabama has the record of 237% bushels. (Laugher.) Mr. Kitchin. I want to say if they continue to encourage these farmers in Missouri and in Alabama they may possibly get up to the record, eventually, of North Carolina, which holds a record of 250 bushels per acre, the largest in the history of the country. (Laughter.) Mr. Mann of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, it was reported to me the other day that a former member of this house, Joseph C. Sibley, had raised on 12 acres of ground 331 bushels of corn to the acre. Mr. Rubey. From what has been said by my colleagues, it looks like the mistake I made was in reporting my yield first. (Laughter.) Civil Service a "Scientific Raid on Treasury?" Civil Service a "Scientific Raid on Treasury?" A SERIOUS move to reorganize the vast civil service of the federal government on a scientific basis involving a reclassification of jobs and the elimination of inequalities of pay, inefficiency of management and political influ- the commission as "a scientific raid upon the treasury." Many hold this view and as a result strong opposition to the proposed legislation is expected, particularly in view of the present condition of the nation's finances. "Equal pay for equal work," will be the rule if congress adopts the proposals of the commission, whose report is to form the basis of consideration of a readjustment of salaries to meet the increased cost of living, a condition which has been dealt with crudely in the last two years by voting a bonus of $240 a year to each civil employee. In one bureau stenographers were receiving $1,800 a year, while in another bureau, which had been unable to impress congress with its necessities, stenographers doing identical work were receiving $600. Whaddymean by Saying "Maple Sugar" These Days? Whaddymean by Saying "Maple Sugar" These Days? THE sugar shortage and the approach of "sugar weather" led department of agriculture experts to make the statement that many thousands of American farmers throughout a region comprising more than a score of states in the eastern and northeastern extending as far south as North Carolina and Tennessee and westward to northern Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota, as well as in Oregon and Washington. northern Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota, as well as in Oregon and Washington. In a good season a tree 15 inches in diameter will yield sufficient sap to make from one to six quarts of sirup, which in turn can be concentrated into two to ten pounds of sugar. Discovery was made by government investigators of many groves of sugar maples in North Carolina, one of which is probably larger than any now to be found in New England. The owners, being unaware of the value of the trees from the maple sugar standpoint, had begun cutting them for lumber at an average return of less than $1 a tree. Last season, upon suggestion of government experts, these groves were tapped and yielded sirup that sold for $4 a gallon. Revelation of the potential value of the groves induced the owners to plan more extensive operations for this spring.

MANY STYLES IN PARTY FROCKS THE FASHION WEEK Masterpieces in Wraps THE STAIRS THERE is almost as much variety in party frocks as in the people who wear them—which makes an assemblage of dancers immensely interesting. It is here that well-dressed women match up their taste in party frocks, and have most opportunity to indulge in individual fancies; they have given themselves the benefit of much latitude in style. On any dancing floor there are draped gowns so long that they only reveal the toes, and other frocks so short that they barely conceal the knees. Materials influence the designers in their choice of styles. The heavy brocades and rich materials in heavier silk weaves, are chosen for the draped gowns that follow the lines of the figure, and many net and face frocks are made in this style. Lighter-weight and supply silks are chosen for straight-line dresses, as crepe de chine, georgette and soft satins. Taffeta and organdle lend themselves to the bourbant draperies that widen the hips Masterpiece THE splendid open coat which appears here has not been chosen because it is representative of the outer garments worn by women for evening dress; for it is not representative. Beautiful but less magnificent is the story of evening wraps in general. This, being a costly affair, is interesting as revealing the ample, mantle-like lines that are required of outer garments for evening, and the fact that fur and brocades are more or less lavishly used in many of them. Capes and mantles divide honors as favorites in this kind of wrap. Capes, with deep yokes of brocade, having plain velvet gathered on to the yokes, are often finished with narrow bands of fur, set on where velvet and brocade are joined, and about the collar. One of the new capes of taffeta has a deep fitted yoke of the silk with the cape gathered to it. Chantilly lace, about three inches wide, and silk net or point d'esprit in alternating ruffles Caring for Cut Glass. Cut glass requires great care. Extremes of temperature will set deeply cut pieces to cracking and cause breakage. It's always well to wash cut glass in warm water and rinse in water nearly the same temperature. Soap suds brings out the sparkle and colors in the glass. Be sure that the articles to be washed are reasonably near the temperature of the water. To plunge a cold water glass into even moderately hot water will prove disastrous. Pieces not in con- or suggest the bustle dress. Taffetas over lace petticoats are particularly pretty, caught up at the sides, or in the back, revealing the dainty petticoat below their hems. Georgette and lace dresses are wired to give the broadened hip line and on these, silk or artificial flowers are placed so as to enphasize the style. One of the last arrivals among party frocks takes advantage of the wired hip line and velvet ribbon to achieve a novelty. This pretty and fanciful frock is shown above, with bodice and skirt of plain satin and short sleeves of net. The skirt is wired rather close to the waistline. Long ends of velvet ribbon, fastened at the top of the low bodice, are looped about the hips and fall nearly to the heem. Each is finished with a point and weighted with a silk-covered belt. The frock has a folded belt of metallic silk. It is very pretty on the dancing floor with its flying ends. es in Wraps cover the cape portion. This garment is made in black and lined with a colored satin. Another new and lovely wrap of taffeta is cut in long panels, pointed at the bottom. These panels reach from the neck down, the entire length of the wrap and have corded, overlapping edges. The collar is a huge puff of taffeta and the lines of the wrap are much like those of the coat shown in the picture, except that the taffeta coat is caught in loosely at the waistline. At the front, where it fastens, there is a very large, flat rose, made of silk, posed at the waist. However splendid broaches or rich furs may be they cannot outshine a work of art in silk like this; for it is a masterpiece of designing and its cleverness vies with their resplendence. stant use are better if wiped from the sudsy water without rinsing, as the luster of the glass is somewhat dulled by clear water. A soft brush is excellent for washing, as it gets down into the deeply cut pattern as a cloth cannot. Longer Skirts Shorter Jack Longer Skirts, Shorter Jackets.

Old Genoa and the New Piazza de Ferrari, Genoa HE is a wise or fortunate traveler, or both, who first adventuring forth to enjoyment of the beauties and riches of Italy, approaches her from the sea, and strides ashore from his ship at Genoa. That is better than stealing through Swiss mountains by night, or working round in a train by the French Riviera and crossing a frontier line at Ventimiglia, says the Christian Science Monitor. It is difficult in the latter circumstance to feel that one has changed from France to Italy; the impression grows slowly and is graduated, which is always bad for an impression. ian sky can he lifts his excellent shops on eil this is I may pace tembre and nity about of the Am yet not elegant. modern in perior shop and bustle, with soda a Genoese to so again Come suddenly upon Genoa from the sea (giving a thought as your craft streams in to the famous lighthouse at the entrance to the harbor—it is 400 years old, and of a style suitable to Italy), and Genoa strikes you as a fine, strong representative piece of Italy. Genoa, with her glorious past, is steeling herself sternly now to modern materialistic demands. There is no other city in Italy which combines so many features of the country's life, appearance, history, traditions and sensations as does Genoa. It is a place of measureless variety and enormous contrasts. There may be little of Rome about it, as you might say, nor scarcely anything of the delicacy, the elegance, the aesthetic refinement of Florence. Foremost Italian Seaport Foremost Italian seaport But Genoa, this first seaport of Italy, is a busy, commercial place, of enormous achievement both before and during the war, and which up to the beginning of hostilities was doing a trade of over two hundred million American dollars a year. It is a city of vast aspirations, coupled with a practical way of working them out. In busy Genoa you get occasional reminders of Bologna, of Verona, and of the veritable Venice. And, again, you have here some of the stern modernity of Milan—plain, manufacturing metropolis of the north, bent coldly to the needs of commerce and trade. Genon couples in herself some of the romance of the Queen of the Adriatic with the modern commercial hardheadedness of Milan. Milan in Italy is what Manchester is to England; and even in the magnificent opera house, the Scala, where so many of the world's best singers have been nursed, there is the feeling all ways that here commerce is patronizing it lordily 'oer the arts. Flavor of Old Italy. You may poke about the myriad litte pinnacles on the roof of the cathedral, and gaze afar to the white-capped Alps overlooking the lakes of wondrous blue, but commerce seems to tinge almost every contemplation. And this is good for Italy, for Italy cannot live on art and tradition alone. But Genoa, next in commerce and first in the ranks of Italian ports, while doing its commerce on the grand scale, has the art and color and flavor of old Italy as well. Go down by the harbor, and, notwithstanding the busy bustle and the certain evidence of the modern world, one would hardly be astonished to see two gentlemen of old Genoa, attired in brightly colored silks, with swords at sides, emerge from one of the fifteenth-century doorways which abound in that quarter. Everywhere there is this strong contrast. A part of Genoa is a veritable maze of old, dark streets in which any person without the instinct for getting his whereabouts may speedily become lost. Rare old streets they are, too. In the middle of the city there is one which is most wonderful, the Via Luccoli, a slit slim not more than nine feet wide and hundreds of feet high, so that just the thinnest strip of Inl- TAKE THEIR HOUSES ALONG Miners, Moving to Location of New "Boom," Find Process Much Cheaper Than Building. Many a mining camp sits rather uneasily on the sands of the desert, as if a west wind, a little stronger than usual, might blow it away like a tumbleweed. If the mines of one place give out, and new ones are found not far away, some of the better houses, indeed, may be moved on rollers to the new townsite. Between Goldfield, Nevada, and the new camp of Divide, for instance, it has been common to see on the road a whole house, perched on a wagon, drawn by four or six or eight horses, and making very good time over the alkali road from the older place to the new location. With the coming of spring, doubtless many more houses that are still sturdy will be moved in this way to the localities of new booms, particularly if the cost of building material remains high. From the distance, an onrushing house with its ian sky can be seen by the stroller as he lifts his eyes from the show of excellent and varied wares in the shops on either side of the Via Luccoli. This is Italy; but not far away you may pace down the Via Ventil Settembre and observe a strong modernity about the thoroughfare, something of the American style about it, and yet not without its share of Italian elegance. Here are good restaurants, modern in all their appointments, superior shops, a general air of business and bustle, and—yes, indeed—a place with soda fountains for the cooling of Genoese tongues on a summer's day. So again in the Via Roma; and the traveler will find that the business men who flit about possess a sharpness of manner and of countenance that are not common in the land. The Monuments of Genoa. In Genoa we have some fine new buildings. There is the bourse, and the post office—full of accommodation and convenience. There are splendid places like the Pincza da ferrarl, and yet everywhere there is Italian feeling for making the best of beauty's possibilities. Where in the world was ever monument more effectively placed than that of Mazzini in this city, high above the level with a background of a green hill and a tumbling waterfall beyond? Again, what an admirable and impartial sense of fitness did Genoa display when she—linked as closely as she is now with the New World, with the big American steamships coming up to her harbor again as they did in prewar days—raised a marble monument in her city to Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, even though he were a Spaniard and no Italian. In Genoa there are innumerable old and splendid palaces. Often they have courtyards in which orange trees flourish. There are fascinating old churches, with strange legends attached to some of their relics. Everywhere there is something written on the wall, for it is well said that Genoa is a "city of inscriptions." There are records of sea victories of the thirteenth century on the facade of the church of San Matteo; and in many public places the characters of persons of old were thus advertised unflatteringly by their enemies, the onions thus expressed remaining. The "galleries," or covered shopping arcades, a strong feature of most Italian cities, are especially good in Genoa. It is a rare place, of most absorbing interest. Seven and eight centuries ago it was a powerful maritime state. And now, when the world is once more beginning afresh, and when, as it appears, one of the features of the new economics is to be keen competition among the European ports, Genoa braces herself for that success to which she was advancing before the war. Steamship prices have apparently gone the way of all other quotations. A British shipping paper has charted the course of prices a new cargo steamer of 7,500 tons, ready to start to sea for the new owner, would bring at different times, and indicates $1,130,000 as the figure at the end of 1919. In 1914 it would have been $215,000, and in 1908, when shipping touched its low point, it would have been $180,000.

Have a Purpose, and Stick You can't change jobs periodically and rise to the top. A vacillating purpose may keep a fellow pretty busy, but few real credits accrue for the effort. What is gained today is lost tomorrow. The facing about means retracing your steps. That means you are getting back to the point you started from. This may be necessary if you were once headed in the wrong direction. Then of course you must get back to start in right. But this double tracking requires lots of effort and you get nowhere. You can't afford much of it. At best life's battles are hard to fight and the road is largely uphill. The wise man is careful to make every step contribute to progress.—Exchange.

DEPT. A-19 A. M. E. ZION DISTRICT CONFERENCE A GREAT MEETING. The Kansas City District Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church just closed was an epoch-making event in the history of the church in this section. The reports showed phenominal growth in membership, many revivals and enthusiastic activity throughout the District. This is due to the very efficient Presiding Elder, Rev. F. W. Alstork, B. D., who has labored continually since coming to the District. Among the ministers and delegates were Bishop L. W. Kyles, A. M. D. D., Rev. B. C. Robson of St. Louis, Rev. J. W. Birch of Jefferson City, Rev. F. S. Hardges and wife and Mrs. Nellie Darby of Des Moines, Rev. L. Beard, J. Hilliard, J. H. Goodin, W. E. Shaw, S. Dimery, Jas Gray, C. H. Jackson, Thos. Fleming, Mesdames M. Robinson, G. C. Hardges, E. Holmes, Vaughn, R. Coleman and Gertrude Fleming. The opening sermon by Rev. F. S. Collins, delighted a large audience, souls stirring sermons were delivered also by Revs. F. S. Hardges, J. H. Goodin, J. W. Birch and B. C. Robson. St. Peter's Church, Rev. L. Beard, pastor, had been renovated and its interior appeared new. Its pastor and members are to be commended for the manner in which they cared for the conference. Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Thompson, 2031 North Hallock street, entertained the conference with an elaborate spread, on Thursday evening. Bishop L. W. Kyles spoke on the Ter-centenary Drive and told how the whole connection had been stirred to activity, assuring its success. The receipts amounted to $260.10 during the meeting. The address of Presiding Elder Alstork was the feature of the Wednesday afternoon session. It covered every phase of the work and was a mastered production. Space permits of only the following quotations from this address: The district has taken on new life. It has never been in better condition spiritually and financially. The pastors, conference workers, and District Officers (the most of them) have been awakened to the pressing needs of the church and are putting forth efforts to utilize the opportunities offered for greater service. My friends, we are living in an age of reconstruction and the world like a drowning man is catching after every straw to save itself. The church of God has the only sure life line and it is for you and me to go to the rescue of the world and help save it ere it sinks beneath the threshold of despair. The interchurch world movement is one of the agencies employed by the church (and I think the greatest one) to help rescue the world. This movement is world-wide and has as its purpose the salvation of man. Millions of dollars have been given and many more pledged to help in this great movement. "Why should the churches try to raise this enormous amount of money?" has been asked from without and within. The answer of the church is, "The world needs Christ, men everywhere must bear the gospel, must know of its teachings, must accept its principles, must conform to its laws and the only institution on earth that can take and give the gospel to a dying world is the church. Since this is true the church has reached this conclusion, that to successfully do the work it should do, men and women who are fully qualified must be sent into every hamlet, every alley, every town, every city and into every part of the world. The church, also, confesses that she is woefully lacking in men and women, the kind that she needs. So a large part of the money raised and to be raised will be expended for education. I am pleased to state that the great A. M. E Zion church has allied herself in this movement and we have pledged ourselves to raise one million dollars in five years and to save one hundred thousand souls. We are to raise this money through subscriptions, each member of the church is asked to pledge one cent a day or as much as he or she can give. Many of the loyal members throughout the country have pledged (several have paid) from $3.65 to $5.00 a year. Members of the Missouri Conference, I call upon you to rise up, let everyone say so far as I am concerned Zion's banner shall not trail in the dust. ORGANIC UNION. This much talked of proposition, some of us will live to see consummated—I mean the coming together as one the independent Methodist Churches of America. God is in this plan and it will not fail. However, I am one who does not believe in sitting down waiting for this glorious consummation. We must be up and doing. We must abate not our energy or lessen our enthusiasm. We must falter not in the midst of our happy anticipations of this happy union, but in the strength of Jesus Christ and through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit leave not one stone unturned in building up the waste places of Zion and extending her borders. THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY. Since we met last in the District Conference session, National Prohibition has become a fact. We have not had prohibition long enough to see the real results to be had because of it. But the testimonials coming up from all parts of the country is a warranty that the advocates of prohibition were right when they claimed "Give the country prohibition and it will be a better place to live in." Thank God that it is here and may it ever remain for it has and is making better men and women of my people. Woman Suffrage had its beginning back in the 18th Century about 1848. By continual agitation, in several states, women may vote. It is now a national issue, two more states to ratify the amendment to the constitution giving women a right to vote in all the states and the suffrage movement will have materialized. Thank God for that. I hope that the women of my race will forever keep themselves from becoming tools in the hand of the filthy politician. You say women should not vote. Yes vote but use the ballot—your vote for the good of the race, not for the man or set of men who promise you a little dirty job as janitor, or window washer or a wouldbe clerk around the courthouse or police station. But vote for the man or set of men or the party that promises to take the chains from our hands and the shackles from our feet, the party who believes and will prove that it is in accord with the principles as set forth in 14th and 15th Amendments, the party that will make every effort to make the constitution of the United States as much effective for all the people as the 18th Amendment is being made. One of the greatest material weapons we have as a race is the Negro press. Let's agitate every time we get a chance, tell the world we are not satisfied and like a crying baby, cry on, men cannot keep us from crying. We are not as helpless as the babe, we are not crying for things that will hurt us—we are conscious of our needs. We are crying for our rights—our God-given rights. As we come into them, let us prove to the world that we are fully qualified to measure up to every requirement. We are now nearing the National election. There are two National parties in this country, each one will nominate a candidate at the National Convention in June. The Negroes of this country have received nothing but insults from the present administration—Jim Crowism and segregation introduced in the Nation's capital. because of this it became subjected to and predominated by the white South, the results: mob rule took hold of the city and many innocent people lost their lives. Shall the democratic party have charge another four years? Every Negro should (who has any race pride at all) say no. Go to the polls this year and let your ballot count one toward making the country a better place for us to live in. I wish to state here that any Negro man who fails to exercise his rights of franchise is a traitor of his race and any woman who fails to qualify to vote is not worthy of a name. What you men and women need to do when you return to your homes and congregations is to begin an agitation that will not down until the pastor is getting at least enough money for he support of himself and family. Will you do this? I thank God that the A. M. E. Zion Church has made it possible for the women of her communion to become full fledged ministers of the gospel. We have no dividing line. We say not to the men go and to the women go no further, but to all. "To whatever position you aspire if you are qualified for that place, get it." I pity the man or woman who does not admire and delight to honor a hard working, sacrificing minister. When the laity becomes awakened to the crying need of the world, when the laity comes to the right conclusion of the condition and what it will take to bring the world to itself again, the minister will have a greater place in their estimation and they will delight to honor him as the people of al countries delight to honor their kings and presidents. DR. HURSE VICTORIOUS. That Rev. J. W. Hurse, D.D., has been absolutely right in his contention to the factual differences between Baptists of America is evidenced by the following letter received from Dr. Henry A. Boyd, son of the distinguished character around whom the great battle has raged during the past four years. Dear Christian Friend—You have more good news that I am breaking to you gently in this letter today. Of course, I must apologize, as I said in my last letter, for constantly annoying you but I think you ought to be advised. I have just been informed by our attorney, the Hon. John B. Keeleb, that our opponents, the Morris faction, through their attorneys, filed a petition to rehear the National Baptist Publishing House lawsuit before the supreme court of Tennessee. This petition was filed in the early part of this week and our attorneys have informed me today that the supreme court in session here this morning denied their petition to rehear the case. So once more they are down and out, and God's victorious army is marching on. Pray earnestly and fervently and let us work for the Master's Kingdom. Let us try to be constructive and let us, as Dr. Boyd has said in his able message and as Rev. Dr. Clark has said in his repeated statements, "Hold out a Christian hand and keep a big open heart for our erring brethren." Our attorney states that this is the end and that there is no way in which they could come back into court on this lawsuit. Now, that the matters have been thus wound up, we must begin quietly among ourselves to raise the funds to pay for the litigation. As soon as Dr. Boyd returns, I think the National Baptist Publishing Board will issue a statement through the press. Yours truly, HENRY A. BOYD. Spring membership drive of the N. A. A. C. P. branch opens April 11. Wm. Pickens will convince you that the N. A. A. C. P. is your best friend. NILE QUEEN Kashmir Chemical Co. Chicago, Ill.

Never before has such a beautiful illustration of Pythianism been given in our community as Dr. Henderson gave Sunday. Dr. Henderson is serving us as Chancellor Commander and we expect to make this the biggest Pythian year of our order.

William Price was born on a slave on a plantation in "old ivrginia." He died yesterday at his home, 703 Oakland Avenue, Kansas Side. At the time of his death he had amassed a fortune estimated at $150,000. Price was born in the slave quarters on the plantation of John Price near Frankfort, Va. He was 16 years old when the Civil War opened. Many of the negroes deserted to join the federal army. Price remained with the "folks" on the plantation throughout the war. For his fidelity his master rewarded him with a small farm. Several years later Price sold his Virginia farm and came West in 1874, locating in the old town of Wyandotte with only $2 in his pockets. He could employment "pushing a truck" at the packing plant of Plankington & Armour. He was employed there eighteen years, in which time he had saved enough money to purchase a home. Son after buying his home he engaged in the real estate business. At the time of his death he owned twenty-five houses on the Kansas Sides. Bankers said last night that he was worth at "least $150,000 in property, bonds and money." Price was $1 years old. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Anna Price. Funeral services will be at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon at the African M. E. Church, Eighth Street and Nebraska Avenue; burial in Wadlawn Cemetery. Johnson's Drug Store is as near as your telephone.

One could but help admiring him, He carried a huge bright smile; A storehouse from his heart within, Real sunshine all the while— He taught to me my A B C's, So patient, willing and sincere; He always ever tried to please, He was my father dear. We gathered 'round the old home stead, We've learnt to know and recognize The mast of the home once said, Be faithful, honest, as you rise— With tenderness and loving care, Recall the past without a fey.

Rev. James S. Anderson, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church officiled. Messrs. Watkins Brothers had charge; and interment was made in Highland Cemetery. Little Ethel Kenard was born September 27, 1914, and died March 24, 1920. Though very young yet she seemed to be conscious of her death a week before she died, because she told her Aunt Susie the week before she died that something was going to happen next week and urged her not to tell anyone and true to the prediction she died the next week. She was an idol of the family; and the only child of her parents. Her disposition and friendliness was so very sweet and pleasant that all who knew her, loved and admired her. She has gone to rest with God in Heaven. She cannot come back to us, but we can go to her. "The Lord giveth and the Lord takeeth away; blessed be the name of the Lord." The mother and family thank the friends for the kindness manifested during Ethel's illness; and their presence and flowers at the funeral. Sleep on, Ethel, until the resurrection day; and mother and all the blood-bought millions in Jesus Christ shall meet you again, and live together for ever and every in Heaven. The Rev. L. H. Dickerson of Rosedale, Kansas, after being confined to his bed for a few days, departed this life Sunday morning, March 21st, and was buried the 24th.

I was born in Kansas City May 22d, 1870; shortly after my birth my parents moved to their farm which is about one mile East of Kansas City; the farm being on the Raytown Road just north of the present municipal farm. I lived there with my parents until the 5th day of July, 1889, which date I went to work for the old American Electric Light Co. who at that time owned and operated an electric light plant on Southwest Boulevard and Central streets. I continued working at the trade at various places in Kansas City for twelve years; at the end of that time I organized the Kansas City Electric Const. Co., and was its President and Treasurer up to the 14th day of May, 1919, at which time I sold my interest. On the next day (May 15, 1919) I opened a new place of business under my own name (W. L. Hutchison Electric Co.) which I am operating at the present time. During my career as an electrical engineer and contractor I have engineered and installed the electric work in such places as Scarcritt Bldg., Gumble Bldg., Gloyd Bldg., Westport High School Public Library Montgomery Ward Bldg., and hundreds of others of the class as above. I am married and have a wife and three children. Have lived at my present address 2901 Holmes street for the past sixteen years. I own my own property. I am a member of Trinity M. E. Church; a member of the Commercial Club, a member of the National Electrical Contract Association, a member of all Masonic bodies, was a captain in all the Liberty Bond drives during the war and took a deep interest in all the matters which were carried on in this City in the interest of winning the war. I believe that having lived in Kansas City almost half a century and being engaged in a business that naturally keeps me in touch with the various conditions in Kansas City that I am qualified and capable of knowing what is best needed in this great City of ours. First I am extremely anxious to be one of many men to clean up Kansas City to the extent of eliminating the Bosses controlling the Political parties as they are being controlled to day. By eliminating the present Political Bosses who protect gambling dens and all places of vice it will be the elimination of one of the greatest evils of our city and will thereby re EASTER FLOWERS All kinds of Easter Flowers for all occasions.

JOHNSON FLORAL COMPANY 1800 East 18th Street (18th and Woodland) Bell Phone Clifton 2043 Episode No. 12--Adventures of Ruth Helen Holmes in Adventures of Helen Comedy to the decent citizens of Kansas City, move one of the greatest obstructions I am well aware of the great amount of protected evils that is being conducted at this time under police protection and if elected Alderman of the Eleventh Ward I will never let up until gambling dens and such like are put out of business. I am especially interested in the welfare of my Ward and while there is possibly not so much gambling and such like going on in my own Ward as in other Wards I feel it will be a duty to clean up my own Ward. I want to assure the voters in my Ward that if elected that my acts will be governed by the majority of the respectable citizens of the Ward and the City. I believe now and will advocate whether I am elected to the office or not, that our ward shall have a permanent Ward organization with one of its main objects being that of taking up before its body all matters pertaining to the welfare of the Ward and City and through the majority rule of the Clubs govern the destiny of the Ward or in other words as formerly stated my acts will be governed solely by the majority and not by one or two persons as has been the rule for the past several years in our City. If you believe in me I ask that you do all you can for me between now and election Day April 6, not only vote for me but vote for the entire Republican Ticket. Thanking you for your support, I beg to remain.

So far as the United States of North Amer- fea is concerned {ts final decision wil be given the first Tuesday in Novem- ber. Darkwater published February 26, 1920 by Harcourt, Brace and Howe No. 1 W. sith St. New York City, is the name of Dr. W. E, Burghart DuBois. {t is more a warning than a plea that dark folk will not always be long suf fering but it contains no intimation or method or plan of an uprising. There is that same weird but fascinating vein that is observed in the “Souls of Black Folk,” and the “Quest of the Silver Fleece.” ‘That the Colored voters of the City ean be counted upon to do their whole duty by the Republican ticket in the municipal campaign ending next Tues- day is evidenced by the enthusiastic and largely attended meetings being held in all the Negro districts nightly. Our people are as much concerned about a clean City and good govern- ment as are any other group of good veitizens in this city and they will demonstrate it next Tuesday by help: amg to roll up a tremendous vote tor Col. Foster and the Republican ticket. Inter-racial co-peration is the key- note to interracial understanding and equitable relations between white and Black people. “When the white nvin ‘of America knows the black man of America even as well as the black people know the white people of this country, there will be much less dif- ference of ipinion and danger of trou- ble between the races,” says William Pickens.

In almost every large city there is some prosperous firm doing business under the name of sine persons who is no longer living. They may have been dead twenty-five years, but their reputation is still a valuable asset. Their names stand for integrity, for enterprise, for a square deal. To change the name of the firm, even if the policy continued the same, would mean a serious financial loss. If the reputation of a man who rested from his labors a quarter of a century or perhaps a half century ago, is still worth money to his successors, young men should realize how remendously valuable a like reputation will prove to themselves. A name for integrity and good judgment and enterprise, is perhaps the most valuable capital that anyone can start life with. Love abides because it gives joy in service and turns the great mind into the great heart. There are four hungers in men. There is naturally the hunger for food and raiment, that gives harvest, tools and industries. Secondly, the hunger for knowledge, that gives schools, boks, papers, and literature. Third, the hunger for fame that gives office, rank, political parties and thrones of influence. Fourth comes the hunger for beauty, that gives the fine arts and makes utility blossom and fruits. Above all of these, however, might be noticed the hunger for affection, that gives homes, fireside songs and the one hundred thousand sweet flowers and fruits of service which cannot grow without love. In vain the husbandman sows seed in February's frozen cloaks. But when the great lover comes, the harvest-making sun, and melts away the frost, the earth opens her arms, takes the little seed in an brooks it into life; and out of the sun's lover's warmth comes the shock and the sheaf. The scholar shinging with cold white light, patronizing the poor, holding the ignorant in contempt, is impotent to influence men. But whoever has a passionate love for the people, whoever years with compassion for the poor, seeing them as sheep that have no Shepherds, has found a golden key to men's hearts. A true education is rounded education, and a rounded education is a Christian education. Many young people graduate intellectually brilliant.

Neither is soul culture complete without mind culture; the two belong together. They should be developed together, and they should be interwoven even as the different constituent parts are combined in a mosaic. It is to be regretted that there are some schools that treat religious culture during the college years of young men and young women as a side issue, or neglect it altogether. Life's duties are too exacting and real not to have an all-round and well balanced education. Each young man and woman graduate should have a mind and a character and a soul fashioned after the "smilitude of a palace," not only beautiful as a palace, but well furnished as a palace with intellectual and spiritual treasures. Intellectual giants and spiritual dwarfs are a misfit, round gems in square holes. "Neither race can settle the race problem alone," says William Pickens.

Vote the Straight Republican Ticket at the Election on Next Tuesday Two Sections 12 Pages Vote the J. PEARCE KANE, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR ALDERMAN OF THE EIGHTH WARD. J. Peace Kane was graduated from Central High School, then went to St. Louis and worked his way through the Law Department of Washington University graduating with honors there in 1910 and returned to Kansas City and commenced the practice of law and now has offices at 306 Fidley Trust Building. He began his political career in the "Eighth ward taking an especial interest in the Colored Race. He was Secretary of the City Convention of the Republican Party that nominated Edwards for Mayor, and was later Secretary of the Board of Public Works, and was very active in the administration in fighting for recognition for the Colored Race of the Eighth ward. He gave up this position to go with the Third Regiment for patrol duty on the Mexican Border during the tense situation of 1917, and for which services he was awarded medals by the State of Missouri and the United States Government.

He has returned to Kansas City with newer ideas and experiences and would make a dependable and active representative of the Ward in the City Council. In a recent speech Matt Foster, Republican candidate for Mayor, said: "J. Pearce Kane is a high grade young man, active and aggressive, in the event of the election of the Republican ticket I will ask for a committee of representative citizens of the Elthigh ward, White and Colored, to suggest to me ways of making improvements for the ward. If you send J. Pearce Kane to the city council as alderman I will back him to the hilt in securing improvements and recognition for you." Mr. Kane is well and favorably known to the citizens of Kansas City, is highly respected, and having worked his way through school by himself, knows how to appreciate the struggle and problems of others. Any Colored man can go to him and receive attention and consideration. This is an opportunity for the Colored race to elect a man who appreciates the needs of the Colored race who has consistently been their friend who has fought their fight and whose voice can secure consideration for them. Colored men should rally on election day and put over Kane for Aldermaa. K. OF P. ANNUAL SERMON. The K. of P.

C. BY NEGRO. To The Journal: It has been said that the fight that is now being waged for a cleaner Kansas City was not a partisan issue, but a struggle for decency against the present reign of murder, robbery and corruption now rampant in this city; and while I have partisan leanings, I shall gladly join hands with those who are endeavoring to make Kansas City a good place in which to live. For years I have fought the disreputable dens of vice conducted by members of my race and it is my determination to keep up the fight until they are driven out of the city. It will be impossible to clean up Kansas City as long as criminal white and criminal black men are given permission, by city officials, to conduct all kinds of gambling devices. Most of the stealing, murder and robbery that has taken place in this city during recent years may be traced directly to criminals with a political "pull." There should be some way to prosecute the "higher-ups" who are direct 1930 queston & Calloway who are receiving usful handling of the Bundy case. Mr. ry of Minnesota, read law in the office and is recognized as one of the most orneys of the Race. ly responsible for the humiliation of this city in the eyes of other cities of the United States. If Twelfth and Eighteenth streets were cleaned up, it would lessen crime among both races. Idle whites, like idle blacks, must eat and wear clothes, and there are only two ways to get both, steal or work; and since they will not work they are bound to steal, and it is this condition that has made Kansas City an eyesore to other cities, and I am holding the white man responsible for it. If the law against loafing and idleness was enforced, the "back-to-the-farm" movement would make some progress among the young Negroes, who would be forced to either go to work or go to jail. There are many dependable Negroes in this city who will welcome the present opportunity to lend their assistance in cleaning up Kansas City, and in so doing they will expect the protection of the white citizens, who are working for good government. Brutal treatment of respectable Negroes at the polls, in the past, may deter many from casting their votes unless they are assured protection. No half-hearted fight should be made by those who are complaining of conditions that now exist, but a house-to-house canvass should be made and every citizen placed on record as being either for or against good government. INDEPENDENT POLITICAL CLUB FORMED. On Monday evening, March 29, a number of Negro citizens met at the residence of Mr. A. Saunders, 4326 Washington St., and formed an independent political club.

SOME ABSENT OLD SETTLERS. th By J. alias Bowser. At the Lincoln High School meeting there were quite a few old timers of the class of fifty years ago or less who learned the later game of playing "hokey." I say the modern game because in the old days before the introduction of the truant officer children were much more prompt and regular in attendance than now. When they failed to show up something really serious was the matter at home. I distinctly recall the following as typical of the varied excuses received: John did not answer roll call, but his sister, Mary, did. "Mary" said I, "why is John not here today?" Mother would not let him come, Mr. Bower, she replied, "cause, cause the doctor says John's got the small poix!" There was no quarantine in those good old days, no pest houses, no placarding your house for a month. But there were old settlers absent from Lincoln High School for reasons which I trust they will never offer again; as, that they had not proper clothes for the occasion, as though we old timers measure our lives and esteem for our friends by the clothes they wear. Then there were others who felt themselves out of date and had out-grown all desire for social mingling in particular with the newer, more fashionable and better educated folks. But it should be borne in mind that the main object of the Old Setters' Association is to bring together into renewed and closer acquaintance Charles Grinqsby, G. H. P.

Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom, has summoned our beloved Grand High Priest, Most Excellent Companion Charles Griggsby. Public men of his type are none too numerous and when one joins the great majority the community wherein he resided is much the poorer. We who knew him as a co-worker respected him; we honored and trusted him as a superior officer and loved him as a friend. His loss is keenly felt. The members of Bethel Chapter No. 28, Royal Arch Masons, St. Paul, Minn., give expression to our sorrow in this tribute; Resolved, That Bethel Chapter hereby express the deep sense of loss felt because of the death of our much loved Grand High Priest, Most Excellent Companion, Charles Griggsby; and be it further Resolved, That this tribute be spread upon our Record, published in the Kansas City Sun, and a copy transmitted to the family.

Chicago, March 31.—In a specially prepared statement to the Associated Negro Press, of which Claude A. Barnett is Director and Nahum Daniel Brascher, Editor in Chief, with executive offices in Chicago, Secretary of War Newton D. Baker has expressed appreciation for the work of the Colored newspapers during the World War. The statement says: "I am glad to avail myself of the opportunity presented by the forthcoming publication of an annual by the Associated Negro Press to express both my appreciation of the work which this press did during the trying days of the war and my earnest hope that it will continue wielding its tremendous influence upon the members of the Colored Race in the interest of that steady, loyal Americanism which the race showed in the great crisis. "All people are alike in this, that she soundness of their opinions is exactly in proportion to the reliability of the facts upon which those REV. F. W. A Presiding Elder, Kansas City M. E. B.

Miss Beulah Rather gave an excellent dinner party at her residence, 2734 Highland, in honor of Miss Hannah Coleman, who is to leave this week for Minneapolis to visit relatives. Mr. P. R. Crutchfield, adjutant of the Wayne Miner Post, American Legion, and Mr. C. R. A. Banks, a member on the staff at the Community Center, were present. Miss Rather's sister, Mrs. Craig, proved a delightful hostess. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to express our sincere thanks to friends and neighbors and the Rev.

If those who report and disseminate information are zealous to see that no distortion arises either from prejudice, impatience or negligence, the people whose opinions are to be formed will respond with straight-thinking and sound conclusions. Thus, the press of any country, whether the general press or that ministering to a particular group has both a great responsibility and great power. I am not thinking so much of the influence of editorial opinion as I am of the serenity sureness, and accuracy with which facts themselves are reported; but even in editorial opinion it is still true that a great field of leadership exists, and it will be a blessing both to the American Negro and to America if the Associated Negro Press, appreciating its high responsibility and great trust, continues to guide the opinions of its readers into moods of cooperation and mutual tolerance." The Associated Negro Press assembles and distributes news to more than one hundred newspapers among the Colored people throughout the United States. LSTORK, M. D. District, A. M. E. Zion Church.
