Special to The Negro Star:— Our city has been the receiver of the finest set of fraternal workers that the world could afford. They began to arrive last Monday to be in Board Session and the loyalty of the officers were shown by being right in their places when the opening was given. The Grove M. E. Church' and Camp Grounds were like beehives for these great bodies, Oddfellows and Ruths. With bows of recognition and smiles of love, each one went about his of her duty. Ohl what a Excellent literary Program was rendered from the following names:— First, the entire assembly sang while standing, "America" while Mrs Silas Johnson, accompanied and Rev. Rev. T. A Taggart prayer a soul fixing prayer. We felt so very welcome and proud of ourselves and Major Ed P. Smithf. when we had feasted on the Welcome Address delivered by him. His, contributes to the race achievements and his broad welcome were enough to make us feel at home; and our hearts' response was expressed by Dorcey Green. We were well entertained by a meritorious Instrumental Solo by Mrs. Alice Stewart. The Brethren felt so very welcome when L. H. S. Brown was through extending the welcome in behalf of Oddfellows, but Mrs. Eliza Hill made the Sisters feel equally as good. Again the whole audience came to a refreshing united effort in song: "Bless be the tie that binds" we felt truly tied to each other. The Welcome side of the Juveniles was well taken care of by Miss Sybil Merry field and it was sweetened with volumnes of melody in a Solo rendered by Lawton Oklahoma News Sunday was a high day at Bethlehem S.

Smith, who were joined in wedlock by the pastor, Rev. J. E. Owens, at 10:30 o'clock. The B. Y. P. U., was fine alro. Night service was just as glorious; the pastor stirred the hearts of his hearers, both men and women. Total collection for July 18, $42.94. Mrs. Jane Brown left today for Sherman, Texas, where she will visit friends and relatives. Mrs. Fannie Brown was called by telegram to Oklahoma. Dr. W. F. C.

The Ministerial Alliance was represented in an address by Rev. Dr. W. F. Botts, again we enjoyed the sweetness of the voice in a solo by Mr. George Camper. Mr. T. P. Reynolds gave a splendid address; Mrs. Pinkie Bell lifted our spirits with a vocal solo The true art of reciting was demonstrated by Mrs. Allen Jones; followed by a classy instrumental solo by Mrs. Viola Hibbs. Mr C. C. Galloy, president of N. A. A. C. P, delivered an encouraging address proving what this Association was steadily doing for the bettering of the conditions of this country; Mrs. T. H Gaskins sang us to a sweet mode with a solo and we closed with a charming quartette; "Nearer my God to Tnee," by the members of Zion Baptist Church.

Falls generaled the Ways and Means and Sister T. H. Gaskin, Program.

E. Church had their Sunday School Picnic out in O'Fallon Park and every one who could go was there; and the children had a glorious time. Saturday is the date for Quinn Chapel to celebrate their Annual Sunday School Picnic and a grand time is expected. The children are looking forth for a very gay time. The Corinthian Baptist Church had their Sunday School out to Wic'lta, Kansas, Friday, July 23, 1920 the Chain Rock, Sunday for an outing. Sunday, our South St. Louis Colored Band played for a lodge over in East St. Louis. This band is getting along fine and if you want to hear some good music have this band play for you. Forced Segregation By The Negro Associated Press Gadsden, Ala., July 23.—The council passed an ordinance forbidding the serving of white and colored people at the same drinking and eating places. It is said that some foreigners who disregard the color line have been in the habit of serving drinks to both races. J. G. Holmes Writes on Perplexities of South Chicago, July23—J. G. Holmer, a white man of Cedar Rapids Iowa, hits one "Frank Harris" a stinging blow, in a special letter to The Chicago Tribune. If one is looking for a statement with a "Kick" in it, here it is: Says Mr. Holmes: "I see that Frank Harris seems peeved because you said things about his beloved south Perhaps he can tell by what code of honesty Georgia manages to get twelve congressmen on a total vote of 59,196 or Louisiana eight on a total of 44,794 votes, while it takes 121,836 votes for Maine to get four congressmen and Iowa 340,311 votes to get eleven congressmen. Perhaps he can tell what glory there is in the fact that out of the 175 congressmen of the Democratic party 113 come from the section which steals its members in that way, while sixty-two there are eighteen from the p'ug ugly districts of New York city. Also just why there is no such thing as an Independence Day celebration south of Mason and Dixon line, but that the people of that section show their enthusiasm by burning fire crackers on Christmas, or just why the usual practice of Independence Day celebration was passed in the city of Washington, this year for the first time in a generation, or just why school officers prohibit the use of school buildings for lectures when the subject is Harriet Beecher Stowe, or just why the New Orleans Picayune tells its readers that their model of character as taught their children is Jefferson Davis and not Abraham Lincoln, and that northern people must strictly understand that and just why the schools of all that section teach in their school histories that in all things relating to the civil war the South was always right and the North everlastingly wrong. "Perhaps he can tell just why any man living outside of that beloved south of his can be anything else than fourteen kinds of fool seven days a week if he votes with that kind of a crowd." "Pilgrims in Bronze" Will Redeem Africa Boston, July 23 - The Rev. Dr. Henery Hl. Procter, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who has recently come from Atlanta, Ga., where as pastor of the largest congregational church in the United States, he was a leader in the Atlanta movement for obtaining peaceful relations, addressed the fourth decennial international Congregational council today on "Pilgrims in Bronze." He alluded to the fact that the first slaves were brought from Africa to Virginia a year before the Pilgrams landed in Plymouth. "The present movement of the Negro is not merely national, but also an international movement," he said. "The path made red by the blood of the slave, ships is yet to regleam with a Divine light pointing the trained man of African descent back home to save the dark continent. As he returns to redeem the long lost continent, he will be a pilgrim in bronze going out for the great crusade." Boys Picked Fight. One Loses Life Atlanta, Ga., July 23-Early Smith, a messenger boy, was convicted by a jury in the criminal division of the superior court on a charge of having stabbed to death, Roger Todd Terrell, a Tech High student, the son of Captain John Terrell, of the fire department, and was sentenced by Judge A. B. Lovett, to life imprisonment. He was taken to the Fulton County jail, where he will be confined pending a hearing on a motion for a new trial. It was charged that Smith stabbed young Terrell following an argument at the corner of Peachtree and Tenth streets a few nights previous. Witnesses claimed that Smith cursed Terrell and when the latter called him to account he stabbed him in the chest with a knife. Smith declared that he was delivering messages and when he stopped at the corner to get a match, several white youths, of whom Terrell was one. "picked a fight" with him he said he tried to get away from them, but they pounced upon him and he struck to defend himself. Appeal To Higher Court For Fair Play Birmingham, Ala., July 23. William H. Alexander, Earl Davis and Oscar V. Hunt, three alleged members of the mob of a few days ago, are preparing to fight (there) their cares in circuit court, having lost in police court when Recorder Henry J. Martin gave Alexander and Davis the limit of the law in police court, $100 and 180 days, and fined Hunt $50. All three appealed their cases and gave bond. Ernest Cawthorn and Walter Honeycutt also were found guilty in leaser degrees and fined $25 each. -The case against L. M. Waggoner was nolle prossed. Cawthorn and Honeycutt paid their fines. Recorder Martin in announcing his decision said that it was very evident that Alexander had acted unlawfully in assuming in any sense to be leader or spokesman of the crowd that visited the hotels demanding the release of bellboys, and that it was a time of great danger when citizens desiring to allay the trouble should have offered their services to the police. Earl Davis, according to the court, was the right hand man of Alexander, and both were worthy of the limit of the law. Ephraim Hardy, who was the object of the mob's anger when "LINK" JOHNSON HEADS G. O. P. EFFORTS; HAS OUTLINED DEFINITE PROGRAM OF REFORMS FOR RACE By The Negro Associated Press Chicago, July 22—Henry Lincoln Johnson, Lawyer, former Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, and present member of the Republican National Committee from Georgia has been named by Chairman Will H. Hays of the Republican National Committee to have charge of the entire campaign work, as it affects our group, throughout the United States. Some members of the National Committee has always been assigned to this work, but this is the first time it has gone to a member of the race. The departured is very significant, and indicates two important facts; the Committee' has been aroused to the insistent demands of the race for proper recognition, and, there is a real awakening to the importance of proper campaigning among the voters in the pivotal states of West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Missouri. Said a white member of the National Committee to The Associated Negro Press. "The Colored people of these states, since the great migration from the South, will doubtless be the deciding factor in the Presidential election." Colonel Johnson enters upon the biggest political job ever undertaken by a member of the race. In an interview in Chicago for The Associated Negro Press, he said: "This campaign will be the most important in which our people have ever engaged. With us it is a campaign for human rights, and we can fight for them better within the Republican party than without. It is to be a campaign in which every Negro voter from the voting states will be invited to take an active part. The border states will decide the battle, and the balance of power in these states lies with the Colo ed voter. The exodus has increased the voting strength by thousands." The Negro is int-rested in politics as never before. He I he is said to have brushed against a white woman on Second Avenue, is recovering slowly at the Hillman Hospital. Before officers could get him away from the mob, he was shot through the body and received a number of knife wounds in addition to being trampled upon. For a time Hardy's life was despaired of, A. W. Smith who was stabbed by Hardy as the latter was trying to escape, has recovered, as also have a number of other persons who sustained slightt injuries. Dr. Richard Wright Highly Honored by Alma Mater Philadelphia, Pa., July 23.—Dr. Richard R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder of Philadelphia, was given the degree L. L. D. at the commencement of Wilberforce University, Xenia, Ohio, June 30th. He was also given an appointment to go abroad, being selected as one of seven ministers to attend the Ecumenical conference of Methodism to be held in Edinborough, Scotland, in September, 1921. A Worthy Enterprise Jackson, Miss, July 23.—Jack- Price: 5c reading. The vital question he is asking from one end of the country to the other is: "Where do we come in?" He is not asking it with a smile of indifference, nor with a sickly grin of the cynic; he is asking it with that serious determination which proclaims a group awakened to the full knowledge of man's estate. The fight this year, so far as the American is concerned, is to be for the fulfillment of a definite national program. When March 4th comes around, and and the next President is inaugurated, "we want to be able to demand of him that this program which we are now laying down will be carried out," declared Col Johnson. The program as proclaimed by by Col. Johnson is summed up as follows: (a) A law forbidding Jim Crow cars entering the capital at Washington. (b) A "General Executive forbidding any such thing as segregation in any department of the government, of federal territory, of the United States. (c) Passage of a law making lynching a federal crime, with trial before and punishable by the United States court. (d) That office holding be untrammeled, with the full rights of any citizen to hold same and enjoy the emoluments thereof. Col. Johnson, who is now in Chicago, will spend, practically all of his time in the city until after the election. He has been assigned a suite of rooms in the Auditorium Hotel, on the parlor floor, and a part of the space occupied by the national headquarters. The rooms have been fitted up with the necessary furniture, and such office assistants as are required, are being installed. Col Johnson is calling into conference leading members of the race from every section of the country. He invites advice and suggestions, and stated that he is there "merely as an instrument for the cause, and not as a dictator." Mail will reach him addressed to the Auditorium Hotel, Republican National Committee, Inc. Further announcement regarding those who will assist in management of organization, speakers and publicity, will be made in a few days. It is probab'e that a woman's department will also be opened. son. Mississippi reports an enterprise worthy of attention among those interested in Louisiana a colored farmers' trucking association. It was organized by Prof. Brinkley, a school principal, and he has already shipped seven cars of cabbage and one of potatoes this season, netting the shippers over $5,000, besides $1,000 worth of vegetables sold in the local market. Why do Negroes go North? The Associated Negro Press is carefully investigating the conditions from every angle. According to the Memphis Times, colored people are leaving the South at the rate of more than 100 a day. This is frankly very conservative. A leading professional man from Mississippi, who has just reached Chicago, stated that the people are leaving at the rate of more than 1,500 a day. The newspapers of the country, daily and otherwise, had not ceased commenting editorially on semi-annual report of Dr. Robert It. Moton of Tuskegee Institute as gathered by Prof. Monroe N. Work of the research department, on lynchings for 1920 where an appreciable decrease is shown when the trouble started. Please allow space in your paper for me to say just a few words about the B. Y. P. U. Congress recently held in Washington, D. C. June 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27. Great as the Congress was; the greatest in its history. I feel that I would be treating the meeting unfair to not say a word about it. I can say truthfully for myself that I got what I went for and that was those wholesome Bible lectures given by the able divines. This was the main thing for which I went—I am desiring to know the whole truth of God and His Word. I find that the Congress is the place to go and learn, for I indeed see it as a first class, high grade Sunday School. I enjoyed all of the working of the Congress immensely. The thing that swept me off my feet was when on Thursday evening at 4 o'clock the B. Y. P. U., and S. S., parade began at Peace Monument and up Pennsylvania Avenue for miles, amid rain, thunder and lightning, the ranks of the parade were unbroken; or if so, I could not miss a single one. Those who were present and in the march can witness that I am telling the whole truth, I was in the parade. This was the finest thing to me, that I have ever seen in a public parade. I feel that all who can and will, say a word about the Congress, ought say it for it was indeed a grand session. We as Christian people of the world ought not hold our peace about this great Congress. We ought at least be interested about the Master's business and more so than the worldly people; for instance the people who are engaged in the ball playing, they will go, they will talk up a team, talk of the game for days and weeks after it's over. It is, far more necessary for the people of God to talk of the good, religious works that were carried on by the efficient men and women, such as we had in Washington. For one hour inthe Congress is worth more than the whole of a life in a base ball game. I want to thank my people again for sending me to this great meeting. The Swamp Grove M. B. Church and S. S., are still alive and on the upward march. We are busy this week as usual and engaged in church work, collecting National Baptist Budget moneys to be reported in the General Baptist State Convention that will convene in the city of Natchez, Miss, Tuesday next. We were glad to meet and shake hands with the editor of The Star in the National Capital. Let The Star shine on in my home. Sincerely yours, B. Starks. A Lecture Delivered to the Singing Class. BY J. A. JONES. To The Negro Star: Dear Friends and Members of the Singing Class:— I am of the opinion that every song beneath the covers of this book has its purpose for being there. It is there to arouse some thought, inspire some feeling or the most important purpose it has is to teach some lesson. This being true we should try to learn just what lesson is taught. We should study our songs, not the rudiments only, but the poetry, study it as we would study a hard lesson in school, not for their pleasing sound only but for their meaning. We should study them until we are able to see just what object the author of the song had in view when he or she composed and wrote it and in what spirit it was done. Here we have a song entitled: "Take the name of Jesus" now what lesson do you suppose it teaches? First, we will agree that the Bible is the word of God. We will also agree with the Bible that Jesus is the Son of God. Now then a parable—At our nearest town there is a storehouse and in this storehouse are all the things necessary for our daily existence, such as food and clothing; well, styling ourselves as very poor people, we have only three ways of getting anything from this storehouse; i.e. to buy and pay for it to steal and take or get it on the credit of some one who has money and influence with the storekeeper. If we are poor, we cannot buy and of course we are not thieves and robbers, then there is only the other way. If we go with the name of that person it "backs us up" so to speak and we get what we desire. Now to apply the parable, we as Christians are as poor beggars in the sight of God. God our Father is the storehouse from whence come all our blessings. One poet-tells us He has ten thousand blessings in His hand to satisfy the poor. We as human beings cannot buy these blessings; no, we are not even worthy of the thought. Common sense affirms the truth that stealing from God would be worse than impossible for God seeth and knoweth all things. Then there is only one other way and that is to go to God the Father with the name of some one who has influence with Him. Who is it then who har this influence? Of course we agree that influence and power are one and the same. Jesus Christ being the Son of God the Bible tells us that all power given unto Him in heaven and earth. All power, all power not a part to Him and a part to some other being but all power. Then it is Christ Who has such influence with God our Father; Christ told His loved ones: Whatever we ask of the Father in my name, that will the Heavenly Father grant unto you." And at another time He said: "I am the door, he who cometh not in by the door but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." Granting all this how should we approach the Father for a blessing? Should we go to Him in the name of this world? No surely not, for God at one time cursed this world, allowed sickness and death to come into it. The earth instead of growing flowers, fruits and grain as it at first did was made to grow thorns and thistles. This was the curse and the world rests under that same curse today. Hence, we see it would be an insult to God to approach Him with the name of that which He has cursed. Should we go to Him in the name of man? No, for the very imagination of man is evil. It was the evil works of man that brought the curse upon the world. Should we go to Him in the name of angels? No, for we are told that the angels themselves are subject to the will of God. They stand around God's Throne and do His biddings just as we shou'd be willing to do. This leaves only the self-evident truth to be faced. Dear friends, when we are surrounded by the tormenting temptations of life, when sickness comes upon us, when we are burdened with sorrows or if we become discouraged and despondent over our own sinful state, let us take our case to God our Father and in so doing let us take the name of Jesus with us, because since He has all the power. His name will "back us up," so to speak in whatever blessings we ask. Hence, the lesson that this song teaches. Let us look for the lesson in all our songs. God bless the works of the poet who first wrote: "Take the name of Jesus with you, Child of sorrow and of woe; It will joy and comfort give you, Take it then wherever you go." Take the name of Jesus ever, As a shield from every snare; When temptations round you gather, Breathe that Holy name in prayer. O the precious name of Jesus, How it trills our souls with joy; When His loving arms receives us, And his songs our tongues employ. At the name of Jesus bowing. Failing prostrate at His feet, King of Kings in heaven we'll crown Him. When the Journey in complete. To Create Co-operative Live Stock Market Manhattan, Kans. July 16. Plans for a co-operative live stock reporting service for Kansas were completed at a meeting held here July 12. The project is being carried out by the Kansas State Farm Bureau, as a part of a plan of the American Farm Bureau Federation for such a service for all the Central States. Dean H. Umberger of the Extension Division of Kansas State Agricultural College assured the Bureau of the co-operation of the county agent. The Kansas State Board of Agriculture thro' Secretary J. C. Mohler will also co-operate. Data will be gathered from the farmers themselves and the results will be tabulated by the American Farm bureau Federation and the Bureau of Crop Estimates and published simultaneously every three months in all states co-operating. It is hoped accurate data that will help the farmer in marketing his stock to the best advantage may be furnished. This is the first time data of this kind has ever been gathered from the farmers them selves. Hays, Kans. July 16.-R W. Graham, six years court reporter in the 23rd judicial district. comprising Russell, Ellis, Trego Gove, and Wallace Counties has been appointed assistant secretary of Kansas State Farm Bureau with offices at Manhattan Mr. Graham has also been court reporter in the 8th and 30 h districts. Farmers Urged to Store Wheat, Car Shortage Prevents Early Marketing News Service, Ka. State Farm Bureau Manhattan, Kans July 16, -It will be necessary for Kansas farmers to store the larger portion of this year's wheat crop This is the statement given out here by Charles R Weeks, Secretary of Kansas State Farm Bureau, who has been investigating the grain car situation. As a result of efforts of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, Kansas State Farm Bureau and other Kansas organizations interested in moving the wheat crop, about eighteen thousand cars have been promised the wheat raisers, but this supply is far from adequate. "It is of the utmost importance," said Mr. Weeks, "that every wheat raiser who is able to do so should provide for storing his wheat at home. Growers who have bound grain should stack it so it will keep indefinitely. Those who cut with the header should thresh before the grain spoils in the stock, but it will be necessary for many of them to provide some kind of storage room to hold their wheat until cars are available." "It likely will be a number of years before there are grain cars sufficient to handle the Kansas wheat crop during the threshing season. That means that if Kansas continues to sow her present acreage of wheat she will have to make preparation for storing." "At a meeting of twelve State Farm Bureaus at Ames, Iowa, June 22, plans were made to establish a farmers' co-operative marketing association. The Kansas State Farm Bureau will aid Kansas farmers to organize local elevators and establish a branch of the association in this state. When such an organization is completed, it probably will include plans for storage elevators within the state. These will provide storage capacity for a large amount of grain, and will help regulate the flow of wheat to market." By The Negro Associated Press NOW FEAR RACE RIOT NOW FEAR RACE RIOT Extra precautions are being taken by the authorities to prevent an uprising by the Negroes in the city and surrounding country. Armed volunteers are patrolling the streets and the air is thick with rumors of armed bands of Negroes are threatening a massacre of whites as a reprisal for the burning of the innocent Arthur brothers. The Mayor has organized a defence body and they are being sent into the Negro sections and warning against any attempt to revenge the stake victims. BUSINESS LEAGUE IN PHILADELPHIA. The announcements are out, and the program for the National Negro Business-League annual meeting in Philadelphia, August 18th to 20th, promises to be the 'biggest ever.' It will be big in that the program calls not for a long series of life-stories testimonials, but leaves an opportunity for constructive action and legislation. With such an opportunity the attendance will be large. In St. Louis last year it was the very prevalent notion that the National Business League "be up and doing" if it expected to keep in its membership the wide awake business people of today. The social side has its place, but the serious minded, constructive business men, who journey hundreds of miles for the annual sessions, desire something more than dinners, smokers, dances and boat rides. The race is in the midst of its greatest commercial opportunities; there is more money invested than ever before, and the outlook is brighter. Therefore, there is a weariness of "argufyin' and "argufyin'" that does not get anywhere. National Secretary, Emmett J. Scott, has maintained the National Headquarters in Washington, and National President Robert R. Morton, has urged constructive measures in all the work of the league. On to Philadelphia in August. it is going to be a regular event. COX AND ROOSEVELT The Democrats, after a grind that wore down the nerves of the happiest political gazut, have named their ticket. They have played a clever role, they think, James M. Cox of Ohio and Franklin D. Roosevelt, of New York. There is not much magic in the name of Cox, but that of Roosevelt, even though he is but a fifth cousin of the great T. R. titus powers with which to reckon. It is going to be a great battle. It will be a battle roys, and it is a safe bet that the next president will be a newspaper man, and that he will be from Ohio. Comparison of the two Ohio candidates, as individuals, will be made at a later date. Gov. Cox is aggressive and progressive. He will insist on the party making a strong campaign and he will lose no opportunity to make himself an important part of it. Regardless of whether he is wet or dry, whether he is for or against the League of nations, the Irish or Armenians, there is curious interest in many of the pivotal states as to where he stands on the Negro question. Governor Cox has the average white man's knowledge of the Negro. He is neither for nor against him, his attitude is very much that of toleration. The Governor has doubtless learned more about the race in his last two terms as Governor, than he ever knew before. Born in Butler County, Ohio, he has always known the race, but very largely in a servant capacity. His newspaper in Dayton and Springfield are regarded as very fair, and have assumed worthy editorial stands with reference to migration and the problems leading out of it. Certainly Governor Cox is thoroughly familiar with large numbers of the race in Ohio, some of whom, like B. F. Stewart of Columbus, a respected citizen, have loyally supported him. It is not only reasonable to expect, but quite certain, that the Democratic party will encourage the voting of our citizens in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Illinois, New York, Michigan and a number of other states where the votes will stand for much in the counting. Thousands and tens of thousands of voters are unquestionably in an "open frame of mind." Olarine Hair and Scalp Treatment will Destroy Germs and make the Hair Grow. It is Guaranteed.

LET the race be proud of the fact that it has one candidate on the Repuplican ticket for Judge of the City Court, who is worthy of the position as any other Atty. of the City, who is a successful, practicing lawyer in all the courts of the city and of the State and who has won some very unique victories, giving dignity to his profession and the revealing of his ability as a lawyer. Think on Judge Fred C Helm as Judge of the City Court, then vote your opinion for the betterment of the race, city and state. It is your duty to make it possible for the race to get some of the recognition in this city and the ballot will determine it. There is going to be one of the hardest fought battles between Harding and Cox, that has ever been fought in the political world. First, both are good men and have not abused the privileges, or given their approval for abusement. Second, the Negro, who represents about one-tenth of the population of the United States, has nothing from either party to make him feel that either is the "God of his Salvation;" so he is now watching with interest the platform of both and the one who means most to him will be the one, who will be supported most by him. Negro is tired of those political dudes, who grin and pat their way in to the office then turn around and say: "Depart I know you not." In fact he is tired of putting things where he can't use them sometime to an advantage. If the country is good enough to die for, it should be good enough in which to live first class; still, there is a spirit growing and is full grown in the South, which classes him as a packhorse, fortification, servant and scapgoat for their benefit. He is now diligently hunting for a man, a real man, a God fearing man, who believe in all ten up and no man down, and he will rest his chance with him and his party. The past record of both seem fair in this respect, now what about the party? will be the next question. Has the Republican house done its full outy to protect the Negro from lynching and mob violence? I have seen dumb brute, during the killing of one of their mates draw near and moan and almost say, don't do that, but there is not enough sympathy nor respect for human life and Christian integrity to pass one bill to stop the burning of the bravest men, proven by SOCIETY AND PERSONAL ```markdown ``` In viewing the pride around home we wish you to note with interest the fine garage being built by Dr. P. M. Bell. In noting pride in business, we note the fine new car recently purchased by Dr. F. O. Miller, who, too, has made some very convenient improvements on his home recently. We note that Mr. J. R. Johnston has put in a neatly built little cottage on Wabash Avenue in the 11 hundred block for rent. We note with inspired interest a neat barber shop now in full force at 507 N Main Street under the management of Mr. A.T. Brown. Then we are watching with interest how earnestly St. Paul is going into the work of putting in a new Pipe Organ. This is one of the leading churches of the city and they do things. Our visit to the North end proved that our people are at tempting business all over town let the race stand by them and help them go. Be patient with them and make them do, they are yours if they succeed and they are yours if they fail. ```markdown ``` MIDDLE OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRIZE FIRST IN SERVICE Entered in second-class matter June 12th 1911 that a Post Office at Wichita, Kans., under the Act of March 3, 1879, The writer of any article for publication must sign same whether or not it is to be published Write on one side of paper. We reserve the eight to reject any matter for publication. every war since his arrival in this country. It should not even take a Christian country to know and to stand for the crushing out of such brutality. Thank God, there are a few, who will keep on introducing them, maybe, after a while there will be a few more with backbones and be he democrat or republican he will have to do some vetoing to stop a due course to protect all humanity alike for the sake of humanity. Suppose two innocent and helpless horses or cows had been burned in Paris, Texas, alive or anywhere in the United States, and it had been generally known wouldn't there be every humane society, federal office, sheriff, police and soldier out to have every guilty one brought to justice? But there were two souls sent to report to God the condition of this country and nothing do, only reporting that they are perishing the guilty. In free Kansas, two caught, one lynched and the other sent to prison, the innocent lynched and the guilty sent to prison. Now, the Negro wants an end to this and he must have it. It is really best for the civilization of America and the white man to stop this evil or it must react. Who is the man and the party is yet to be decided by him, so he is watching every move and every act of parties and will vote for the best interest of humanity. Let race pride cause at least one tenth of the population of our city line up behind Atty. Fred C Helm. Republican Candidate for Judge of the City Court. Let there be but one object and that is for the race to get recognition in the courts of the city; vote and cause all you can to vote for his election. There is a splendid record made by Richard J. Hopkins during his first term as Attorney General. He wants the second election consider his record before deciding on another. Galveston is worried to death, because it is under a marital law, thinking how hard it is to have their privileges cut off and their freedom abridged, but they have done their best to enact a law for a Democratic Primary to eliminate the black man from the ballot. All human beings feel the same pains when their rights are abridged; we hope their troubles will be enough to soften their attitudes towards the weak and oppressed. Mr. M. L.

We were set right for the whole session on the night of the welcomes from the beat talent of the City, well mixed with solos, duets, choruses, etc. Then every speaker and preacher was at his or her best every time they appeared. Over 8 states had delegates or the scene and 2 states sent in their representations. When the time came to count up the interest manifested in Dollars and Cents, we found we had over $700 raised by the sister alone for Christian Education and when the brethren put in their little might there was over $1100 for Christian education; and when the whole income was counted there were over $2500.00. Every officer had done so well until they were all re-elected except Mrs. S. B. Watson, Recording Secretary of the National Convention, who has gone to the foreign fields; Mrs. M.

It was a scene of excitement as these best teams of the Middle West crossed bats-Gray Socks and A B Cs; they both claimed the championship by so wonderfully handling o their teams, so it was honors of the future that each wished to have and well banked by the base ball fans and friends from each side. The Gray Socks run in 6 scores on the first two innings and held the A B Cs spellbound until the fourth then they rushed in four and things took on new life. A pitcher's battle commenced, but in spite of the continuing strong firing of the 'Six Shooter,' the A B Cs kept adding until the victory was declared 12 to 8 in their favor. It was simply a time when the Six Shooter could not kill the Chicken nor could the Metcalf triumph over the Jamison. The victory was won but not with ease Scores by Innings: - Scots by Innings: Gray Sock 3300110008 A B C 000450210-12 Batteries, Gray Sock, Six Shooter and Metcalf. Batteries, A B C, Chlcken and Jamison. SECOND GAME The first game seemingly sharpened the ambition of the A B C for victories but they now faced a team that came from Eldorado, to get revenge for having been defeated in a battle July 4th, and they were mean to handle, but Anderson and Jamison drills for all hard rocks, stayed on the job until the last half six innings then relief case by the A B C holding S store to offset the 2 made by them in the first half of the six. Then with excited nerves the game finished with goose eggs in succession, at many points seemingly things were about on the change, but coolness saved the day. There is no chance for any fooling-around when these two teams met, when Anderson and Jamison is batteries for the A B C and Forman and Brown are batteries for the Yellow Jacket. If you have a real good team and you want a real good game call Mr. R. E Wadley, Manager, Market 2139 o n 1831 N. Ohio Avenue, they will see to your defeat. BASE BALL GAMES HIGH SPIRITED. Last Sunday proved to be an exciting occasion in the Stockyard Park when Cudahy met Delmonico. The ball fans were there to pull with their might for the teams that they thought should win and naturally they automatically pull for the race which they represented and good naturally both sides went into the battle; whites had the Negroes partly speechless until the sixth inning, when the tide changed. The change of the tide did not unnerve the Cudahy pitcher, who was as steady as a clock from the beginning to the end. The first pitcher for the Delmonico proved a little wind and the fourth inning brought in White to match Stanton, who was holding things steadfast, but White proved more than a match. In several times, worked out of tight places and held things together, keeping the goose eggs appearing on the score board, while they added until they were two in the lead. Players on both sides did credit to themselves, especially Bobs on first and Gipson on third. Scores by Innings: Cudahy, 3 03 00 00-6 Delmonico, 0 10 10 40 20-8 Kansas City, Kans.
