I asked of a down-town printer the other day, at the same time handing him a roll of manuscript from which I wanted some hand bills printed. The disciple of the "art preservative" eyed me keenly. His perling gaze seemed to look through me as though I was a piece of mosquito netting. Then his answer: "When you first came in I set a certain price in my mind for this work, a third more than I am going to ask you. But after sizing you up I knew I should lose you as a customer should I demand the price first thought of." I was silent, for the purpose of appearing to be wise, and for drawing him out. And sure enough, he went on: "You may not know it, but we have no set price for our work. We size up our customers when they come in and charge them according to our mental measurement. I am satisfied that you had made up your mind as to what you would pay. Six dollars is your figure. Yet it would be easy to get ten dollars from many a customer without a word of complaint. This is the Jew's method. In fact most successful merchants or tradesmen learn to size up their customers." Come to think of it the whole world is being sized up. We size up a stranger the instant he comes into our presence. We cultivate an --- The Kansas City Sun Entered as second-class matter, August City, Mo., under the act of March 3, 1879. HOR Church L OPENS TUESD s of Jerusalem Hold Council Session t Harmonizing Session y of the Order A group of the B. S. A. of Kansas City, Mo., now in camp at Bean Lake, Mo., in company with the Boy Scouts of Kansas City, Kansas. These boys rendered valuable service for the Elks last week and are now enjoying a week's outing in their summer camp. A special invitation is extended to their parents and friends to visit them Sunday, September 5, and Monday, September 6. Get a Burlington train at 8:00 a. m. and get off at Bean Lake. Now that the Elks convention has come and gone, we can soberly review the many things that were done to make their stay pleasant and to help advertise dear old Kansas City. And while the Sun would like to mention all the things that were done by different individuals to achieve the aforementioned result, it has not space to do so. But it must mention a few: Colonel L. A. Knox, the astute and Q. J. GILMORE Exalted Ruler of Midwest Lodge No. 233 and the moving spirit in the magnificent entertainment given the recent Grand Lodge of Elks. dignified Attorney, who was Grand Marshal of the Grand Parade, covered himself with glory and deserves special mention for the magnificent maner in which he handled this great parade and STARTED IT ON TIME. He was ably assisted by his energetic aides, Leroy Harris and Ralph Chilton, Hurrah for Judge Knox. Martin Young, proprietor of the famous Spotless Kitchen, and the All Star Barber Shop, no finer than which can be found in the United States, also won universal praise from both visitors and home folks by the splendid luncheon and program served the visiting Elks at Labor Temple Thursday night. It was a hummer, and proved conclusively that "Kid" knows his stuff. Felix H. Payne was in the charge of the committee on housing and worked liked a Trojan day and night for three months preceding the convention to see that all visitors were properly housed and cared for and be it said to his credit that we have yet to hear a single criticism on the part of any Elk. Among the ladies Mesdames M. E. Dougherty, Emma Payne, Bertha St. Clair and Miss Alberta Collins deserve special mention for the delightful manner in which they entertained the visiting lady Elks and the magnificent reception tendered them at Lyric Hall Thursday night and be it said without boasting that there was not a handsomer gowned bunch of women from any city in the Union than our own Kansas City women and that's going some too. Mr. T. B. Watkins, Kansas City's foremost undertaker and one of the most affable as well as cultured men of the race, was master of ceremonies at the big opening and it is needless to say that he performed the duties of this difficult task admirably. T. B. and his magnificent new twelve-passenger car were constantly in demand from the visiting ladies. Oh, you T. B. Chilli—Jeff's. Perhaps the one man above all others who was sought by everybody.

Men and women are respected, loved or disliked feared or ruled by the same mood, intuition or instinct. Women are seldom insulted on the street until they are mentally measured by the roughs who offer it. The confidence operator sizes up the "easy mark" at once and he rarely attempts to ply his trade upon one "who has been from home before." Often too, colored people are subjects of insult and humiliation because in the sizeing up process they are judged as humble, easy victims. As with persons, so with animals. A dog sizes up his adversary, and makes his attack or "passes by on the other side." We all, dear reader, are being sized up. As preachers, our Christian labors are being judged by the world. As teachers, our pupils scan our every walk, weigh our every word. Whatever niche we are trying to fill, let us so live that when we are sized up by the curious or the vulgar, the sincere friend or the unfeeling critic, we shall when weighed in the balance be NOT FOUND WANTING!

Dallas, Tex., Aug. 27.—To avoid the disgrace of charge a charge of assault upon a girl under age, Dr. I. M. Horton, optometrist, prominently connected in this city, drank poison and ended his life. The tragic end came following a discovery by Mrs. Gertrude Smith, 3406 State street, in which Dr Horton was caught in a compromising position with the woman's daughter whose name has been withheld. Dr Horton was a roomer in the Smith home. Detected by Mother. In an attempt to protect her daughter's honor, Mrs. Smith, upon witnessing the assault, jerked a stand lamp from a table and hurled it at the doctor's head. A deep gash was cut in his forehead. She then called the police. Dr. Horton, with blood covering his face, pleaded with Mrs. Smith to let the matter drop, offering to settle it for a money consideration, it is said, and further declared he would leave town on the next train. When she insisted on notifying the police, Dr. Horton told her that if she had him rested he would commit suicide. When the police arrived at the residence Dr. Horton had disappeared. Shortly afterward a call was sent in to the station that a man was taking poison. The police answered the call and upon investigation found that it was a message from Dr. Horton. He warned them over the telephone that if they wanted him they must hurry. Drinks Deadly Poison. Officers Taylor, Greenlee and Darnell were sent to arrest Dr. Horton but they arrived too late. They found him lying in the weeds. He told the police he had taken poison. On the way to the police station he asked for a drink of water and in a few minutes was dead. His body was carried to the People's undertaking establishment and his relatives were notified. Dr. Horton came to this city from Kansas City about two years ago and had built up considerable practice. He has relatives in Texas and Georgia. The corner stone of Bethel A. M. E. church, 24th and Flora Avenue will be laid Sunday, September 5, at 3 o'clock. This is also the 4th and last quarterly meeting day. Dr. J. F. Griffin will preach the sermon.

Crews.....Editor and Owner Willa Glen Peebles.....General Manager IDE Sept. 5 CHILDREN UICI Sunday, Se ND YOUR CH regard, for he will make for himself a burning fire of wrath. Some will protest, some one will protect, some one will never forgive "though thou bestoweth many gifts." Horton, formerly of this city, who went to Texas to start life anew, entangled himself with the same proclivities that got him in bad here. This shows him to have been a veritable son of weakness, belonging to the numerous class we have already described. He is therefore more to be pitied than censured. Newspaper reports show that this man ultimately lost his life by insisting on disregarding the standards of the race. He went on heedless, perhaps defiant of the moral code, and he died as he went. This man was a school teacher once. He committed a crime against a child. He was sent to prison, and he served his time and came back. Thoughtful Society was inclined to forgive, even forget. It justly figured that it owed another opportunity to him to make good. Those who observed the efforts of the man to retrieve himself were hopeful of his success, but, alas! the stuff was evidently not in him. There were no doubt temperamental as well as physical idiosyncracies which bore him down. We say, we cannot severely ensure him for this. The weakness is too common among men. Human society is too bad itself. Horton's case is merely individual. Yet individuals make society, and therefore, however bad society may be, society is bound to hold the individual responsible. The only lesson that we can get out of the tragic culmination of Horton's the well known Optometrist, formerly of this city, who committed suicide in Dallas, Texas. life is that men and women should rather struggle hard to do right, live clean and uphole the best moral standards of the Race. If we serve society well, verily we have our reward, we have cast our bread upon the waters. But if we serve society distinctively bad, we cannot escape the fate of transgression, the hard wages of sin—which is Death! And this is the lesson No. 2. The Rabbit wing of Jackson County Negro Democrats is indeed fortunate in their selection of Professor John L. F. Talton as leader. He is a firm, quiet, stalwart Christian gentleman. Professor Talton was born near Napton, Saline County, Mo., and educated in its public schools and at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., graduating from its full Normal Course, June 17, 1898. He taught school three years at his home; one in Olathe, Kansas; seven in Liberty, Mo., and eleven years in Kansas City, Mo. He is a faithful, energetic and conscientious teacher, thoroughly devoted to the interests of his pupils and the welfare of their parents and an asset to every community where he has lived. He is an ordained minister of the African Methodist Episcopal church. As far back as 1896, when a very young man, he cast his lot with the Democrat and voted for the peerless Wm. J. Bryan and has consistently supported the Democratic ticket ever since, believing that the Negro has much to gain by such a course. That belief has been steadfastly sustained in grand old Missouri. --- --- Lessons From Two Recent Deaths By C. A. Starks. Lesson No. 1—J. J. Mattjoy Lesson No. 1—J. J. Mattjoy. Said the most clever Mark Antony: "I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them, while the good is oft interred with their bones. So let it be with Caesar." And so, here, let it be with Mattjoy. Also let it be understood that we not only do not come to praise Mattjoy, but neither do we come to censure him. With those who have joined "that innumerable caravan" we war not. It would be cowardly for us to attack those whom death has rendered powerless to defend themselves. So the motive here is something deeper than spleen or hate, it is the lesson of Truth which proceeds out of every fact or incident whether we see it or not. The lesson of Mattjoy's short career here seems to teach us how dangerous it is to have any Negro to professionally become a part of a dirty political machine which has for its main purpose the intimidation of the good citizen and voter. There is such a pernicious machine in this town which is a part of the hateful SYSTEM of oppression that we all know so well. It is this system, then, that we should bear down upon with eternal vengeance. True, men make the system, but the system becomes so powerful that the system makes the men, such as they are. Mattjoy, along with scores of other Negroes, was merely a part of that system. He was only a type of many. Different, possibly, but no worse. For while in a measure he represented an individual brutal force, others of the system were more subtle, insidious, working with the poison of corrupt money and artful hypocrisy, all according to their personalities and the conscienceless power behind them. And this is the thing that has put pain in the hearts of good men, taken away the smile of the community and abashed it with frightful intimidation. Also let us not make the mistake of imagining that we are the only victims of the hated system. This thing we speak of is more after the order of the octopus—many and underhanded, grabbing with its wary tentacles the throat of the body politic. The whites, therefore, have suffered along with the blacks. When the stench of filth permeates the atmosphere all the sensitive nasal organs within the radius will note the repulsive air. But let us also remember here that this organized frightfulness that all have suffered is not originally the product of any set of Negroes, but from the other fellow. Mattjoy, we say, was a type, probably the most pronounced of his own group here, rivaling his proto-types of the other race. But his death renders merely an ameliorated situation of a very bad condition. The fact is that we are not afraid of the dead, but we are of the living. We are afraid of those who have the power and inclination to plot against the public welfare. In the death of Mattjoy the system merely loses a unit, but the system remains. What the good people of both races should do at this hour, for it is the striking time, is to dedicate themselves upon the cross of the tragic event to the emancipation of the community from the ever-menacing presence of evil. There are others who would be as brutal as Mattjoy if they had the nerve. These we should be able to crush in the very incipiency of their assumption of brute power. The next man who begins to earn a reputation for these same methods should at once be denounced. This will possibly save another like tragedy. We end this article with the same quotation with which we began: "The evil that men do lives after them, while the good is oft (ah, too oft!) interred with their bones." Lesson No. 2—I. M. Horton. It takes the exceptional individual to rise above or beyond hampering environment; to overcome inherent criminal tendencies, or supersede dominant animal instinct with the fine spiritual restraint of the moral. We ought not, therefore, to censure so severely the failure of one to escape the inevitable penalty of weakness. Thousands, or should we have said millions, go the same way, the way of the imbeciles. This is, we reluctantly say, at best, a corrupt old world. But it has some hope if it can maintain its reasonable standards. He who knows well these standards and re specteth them not shall some day fail into disrepute, yea, let him not dis The Sun 5c a Copy EVERYWHERE PAY NO MORE PRICE, 5c. DR. J. M.

IN MEMO In loving memory of my dea departed this life five years ago IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of my dear daughter, Lula M. Banks, who departed this life five years ago August 31, 1915. I never knew the pain she bore I only saw her die, But in my heart I mourn the loss Of one I love so well. In the graveyard sleeping, Where the flowers gently wave, Lies the one I love so dearly In her lonely, silent grave. She is gone, but not forgotten, Never shall her memory fade, Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger Around the grave where she is laid. Five years have passed, I still miss her, But little do they know the sorrow That lies within my heart concealed. Sadly miss ```markdown ``` Chilli—Jeff's Chilli—Jeff's.

Matthews of Kansas City, Kansas. Dear cousins, we all join in with you. In this your very sad hour; Don't you forget that it's also true, Life's full of sunshine and shower. Dear DeElla has gone on before, Her voice is now hushed and still. As all must pay for the debt that Christ bore. She's paid the debt we all must pay She cannot come back to you. But you can go to her some day, If you'll to Christ be true. And when the angel summoned her, She had nothing in her way, But gladly, with our Lord did confer And boldly launched away. Now husband, father, also all kin, Seek Christ 'till you are forgiven, So you'll meet dear Deella again In God's eternal heaven. (Copyrighted, August 25, 1920.) Chilli—Jeff's.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY DR. WILLIAM B. DISCOVERY Dr. Pryor's Japo-Wonder Soap for straightening and beautifying men's hair has filled a long felt want among men, as it is the only preparation on the market that will not burn the hair or turn it red. The results of this wonderful soap was clearly demonstrated during the Elks' Convention, as the boys who used Japo-Wonder were highly complimented for their beautiful soft and wavy hair. Dr. Pryor, the manufacturer of the Japo Soap, was also with the delegation and placed the Japo-Soap on sale at all the Drug Stores. If you do not find it at your drug store, write the main office, 3319 Street, Chicago, Ill CARD OF THANKS. We desire to thank those who sympathized with us during the illness and death of our husband and father, Nicholas Spralley and wish to thank the chauffeurs and many friends for their beautiful floral offerings.
