Live so as to reflect the greatest upon your race. Speak so as to set forth your race in its best and highest aspect of life and history. Let not the lure of office nor the beauty of any prospect attempt you from the way of loyalty te, and service for your race. Be proud of its past, be hopeful in its present, and be hopeful of its future. Let no race under the sun rank above it in your faith, honor and trust. Let your heroes be men of your race who have done heroic deeds, and your heroines be our own women, who deserve more honor than does any other set of women who have lived since the days when Moses' mother concealed him in the bulrushes by the Nile."

Southern Editor Gives View on Jim Crowism Danville'e, Kv., July.2.—The FORCHLIGHT of this city, makes editorial comment in its issue of last Tuesday on the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court upholding the power of a state to enact and enforce a "Jim crow" law. It says in part, "This decision hurts business and in the end will work general hardship upon the whole people regardless of color or condition. It hurts business by perpetuating the discrimination and injustices that are slowly but surely driving the Negro population from the South. When the Negro leaves the South in large numbers the South experiences a shortage in man power. This shortage curtails the production of sugar cane, corn, cotton, lumber and rice. This curtailment of production and the output of raw materials ap recia- Price: 8c J. P. Powell, of Shaw, Miss., who is of Mississippi. The Sunflower County M. B.

The Association was called to order Thursday morning at 10.00 a.m., by President W. H. Sanders and Saturday morning by President, Mrs. Miller. We had a down-near of rain each day and night but all things were well. We were glad to have with us the State Missionary, Mrs. L. C. Ballard, who came to us with words of learning. Come agals, the way is open. The good people of Doddsville, who knows how to care for an Association were on the job. The boss man of Doddsville, whom the people told me owned the town and about, all the farm land around Doddsville, in the person of Mr. W. A. Thomson, was present on Saturday night and spoke words that will live a long time in the minds of those who heard him. He tried to prevail with us to stay another week saying that he had plenty of money and also his people, and that the land was so strong it would not hurt for the people to stay out of the field another week. We are hoping to meet our brethren in Natchez, Miss. Yours for the Master, Rev. J. P. Powell. hly lowers the volume of business done.

The Morning Post, speaking of a recital recently given here by Mr. Roland Hayes, a noted Negro tenor declares: "An interested audience listened at Aeolian Hall to Mr. Roland Hayes, a colored singer, and quickly found him deserving of respectful attention. He has a tenor voice capable of sweet or ringing quality throughout a useful range, and he has been at pains to acquire all the elements of highly-cultured "vocalism." He delivered Puccini's "The gelida manina" in Italian and Heethoven's "Adeljade" with extreme refinement, set an example which many English singers would do well to copy combining clear diction with unbroken phrasing. He needs, however, to guard against over-cultivation of style at the expense of naturalness and open tone-production. His program included songs in French and Negro "spirituals." Accompaniments were played by Mr. Lawrenee D. Brown. Prof. Kerlin Writes Splendid Article Race Enterprises St. Louis, Mo., July 2.—Robert E Kerlin, Professor in the Virginia Military Academy has contributed a very illuminating article to the June issue of Reddy's Mirror, one of the more important monthly magazines published in the Middle West, entitled "The Negro Fourth Estate." Among other things Prof. Kerlin has this to say concerning the Negro Press; "Activity of the colored press of the country in these troublous times, the spirit, the boldness, and the influence of it, may well excite alarm, as it has done, even in the seats of the mighty. There are nearly four hundred Negro newspapers published in this country, and they are prosperous as never before. Their circulation during the war period vastly increased, and new papers-all the more outspoken and abler type - have subsequently sprung into existence. The colored people are fully informed of this their papers make it a matter of rejoicing and pride. It is, indeed, a sign of the times. We are informed by this press that a New Era has come, brought to birth by the World War; that with the New Era has appeared the New Negro; a man who stands erect and looks the white man in the face; a man who does not cringe or fawn. "Licking the hand that suites," but demands his rights under the Constitution, equal opportunities in the common affairs of life, equal conditions equal comforts, equal recognition for character and worth; in a word, comforts, equal recognition for character and worth; in a word, "Justice". "Every paper has correspondents in all of its territory and in States beyond that might be supposed to be its territory. There are also news agencies. The most important of those is by far the Associated Negro Press. Through special correspondence in every city of the country it gathers the racial news and send this out regularly to its large membership. About seventy-five papers receive these communications. tions directly, but all get it sooner or later. Nothing racial escapes the Argus-eyed colored press."

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT: For Congress Eighth District In announcing my candidacy for the Republican nomination for Congress from the Eighth Congressional District at the Primaries August Srd, I pledge support to the principles set forth in the party platform as adopted and my very best service to the people of the District whom I hope to represent. Darcy E. Dunne, Republican Candidate For Congress Darcy E. Dunne, of Wichita, wishes to announce that he is a candidate for the Republican nomination to Congress from the Eighth Congressional District, subject to the decision of Republican voters at the primaries, August Srd. We do job printing on short notice. Work guaranteed. STRONG CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS A fair shake for the farmer, the merchant, the laborer and the consumer in the adjustment of the great problems before the nation today this in a nutshell is the program on which Judge R'chard E. Bird of Wichita will make his race for congress from the Eighth Congressional District. Judge Bird is not a man to make specific promises of great things he will accomplish if elected. He knows too well the handicaps besetting the fulfillment of such pledges. Being a man who prefers to let his achievements speak for him, Judge B'rd will make his campaign pretty largely on a program of justice to the great majority. There are a few fundamentals on which Judge Bird has expressed himself very definitely. They are questions on which the average voter will demand a specific stand from the cand date for congress. These questions are: He is unequivically opposed to compulsory universal military training. He firmly believes in adequate armament and man-power to protect the United States, but believes these can be accomplished without universal training. Judge Bird favors a fair and honorable program for the returned soldiers. He believes that the cost of such a program should come from the pockets of those who were enriched beyond all reason through war contracts. Knowing that the farmers interest has suffered inestimable loss during the last few years, Judge Bird stands for a constructive and comprehensive program that will give the farmer his just due and at the same time tend to increase the dangerously decreasing production of food stuffs. On the question of high living costs Judge Bird believes that Congress should take some speedy and definite action that will strike at the heart of the difficulty and force a return of prices to a fair and equitable basis. On the graver problems now confronting the nation Judge Bird will enter Congress, if elected, with a keen analytical mind, a deep sympathy for the rights and needs of the great mass of people known as the general public and an ever watchful eye to the peculiar interests of the people living in the Eighth District of Kansas. Behind him Judge Bird has an unusually successful record as lawyer, Judge of the District Court and business man. His temperment and capabilities are admirably adapted to Congressional requirements. His exexperience as lawyer and judge have fitted him unusually well to weigh in proper proportion the various elements that must enter into the making of national Laws. Dick Bird, as every personal friend knows the Judge was reared and educated in Kansas. He knows the Kansas language. Though born in Cinematti 42 years ago, Dick Bird has been a resident of Kansas since 1887. After finishing his elementary education in the Wichita schools, Mr. Bird studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1901, being then but 23 years of age. After fifteen years of successful practice in Sedgwick County Judge Bird was elected to the bench of the District Court, succeeding Judge Thos. C. Wilson. In his four years on the bench Judge Bird has handled some of the most difficult criminal and civil cases ever tried in Southern Kansas. His record throughout his judgeship has been clean and efficient and by it he has unquestionably shown that he is a true representative of the people. CHILDREN'S NURSERY.

An estimate of the Department of Agriculture places the probable wheat crop of 1920 at 781 000,000 bushels. This is a very large crop from 1919 and five percent under the average for five years previous to that time. In addition there are 41.032000 acres of cats and 7,437,000 acres of barley now growing. Providing the work of the harvest is successfully carried on the country will likely not be very bad off, since the European market will-not be as strong as it has Cleaning, Altering, Pressing and Dying, Neatly Done; Called for and Delivered ROBERT LOWE, Tailor. been in recent years.

The sober thought of the Nation, as it is being digested at the Interstate Commerce Commission hearing, seems to indicate that the railroad problems will be successfully solved. 1.
