Each day turnisked its quota of new arrivals end the records on the first day of (le school year showed that some 1900 students had been enrolled. Thin is the largest opening enroll- ment in the history of the Institute. Notwithstanding this fact, the stream of incoming students Is yet steady, Every fota of space will soon be tak- en up. It is also noticeable that many of the new students are quali. fying for the advanced classes, . —~—. Who Will Start Daily Newspaper For Gur Race Every time a group of our leaders, thinkers and captains of finance get terether, it is aziced, “by common corsent,” efter prolonged discuss‘on, that a daily newspaper would be a tremendous asset to the race. The argurent stops, however, when the subject of operation is approached, The tombstones of past efforts are pointed to with skeptical dismay, ard with shaking heads, lowered eyes, end crocodile, tears, the subject is dropped. As a matter of fact, the situation resolves iteclf to one thing only, a lack of capacity to unite on a great thing worth while. W. T, Andrews of Baltimore, Md, established the daily Baltimore Icrald, which he ran for two solid years’ and more, on time, In face’ of all kinds of odds and discouragements. Recently, howev- er, he has been compelled, on account of the shortage of white print paper, and possibly other unseen difficulties, to cut the publxation down to twice a week, But listen to the encouregement he received from cne of the most notable publicist cf the race, W. E. B. DuBois. In a recent number of The Crisis, Dr, DuBois said that he Fad not commented on the existence of the Herald before it was two years old, because he had no idea it would live when established, but since it had lived to be two years old, it was worthy of comment. Ye gods! What rearoning from a phi- losophen, Tiere is argument just as reasona- ble: A new baby Is born into the world, the mother is deserted by her friends, but by sacrifice and perse- verance, she is able to nurse the child from Infanthood to beautiful baby- hood, Then ker friends return and say: “O, if we had known your ba- by was going to live and become so beautiful, we would have come to your assistance from the first.” With a man of Mr, Andrew's standing as a publisher, Mr. DuBois could have safely given a big boost to the Baltimore Daily Herald through The Crisis and by word of mouth, from the beginning, and been the gaincr rather than the loser. Establishing a daily has been dis- cussed again and again with publish- ers of such papers as the Chicago Defender, the New York Age, and the Afro-American, Baltimore, which are issued weekly, and have large cir- culations. But there Kave always been a deaf ear turned. Some one is going to start a “sure enough daily” some of these days, before long, and everybody {s going to be surprised if they don't watch outy Marcus Garvey, the wizard of organized frenzy among the masses, and a very keen student of the val- ue of publicity, is beginning to dis- ast at length in his “Negro World,” the'necessity for a daily newspaper Garvey has the nervo to tackle the job, and In some way, he seems to be able to get the “filthy lucre” to put his ideas across. ; Are the people teading? Tens and tens of thousands of them ev-' erything they can gct their hands on, WHO'LL START THE DAILY? | ; Lawton Oklahoma News Lawton is on a beom, the peorle nro beginning to see it is better to buy than to rent, They are buying homes, both white and white, Rev, Owens and sieter, BM.

If the public schools of the North, thousands of children who were de: nied education in the South, have been enrolled, School boards are endcavoring to make provision for tke accommodation of the overflow. Little or no friction is reported in the mixed schools, and the education assimilation is running as smoothly #3 the proverbial river, In tLe Scuth, there is a most re- marhable alertness, of boards of ed- ueation to Improve the edueational facilities of colored children, Many new buildings have been erected and old ones kaproved, the sanilary con- dition has been improved, and the talaries of teackers raised, The whites f.cakly admit the move fs one aiong the line of “rclf-preservation,” in an effort to stem the tide of ‘mi- gration. + In the big Northern and Enstern universities of the courtry, both of young men and worten, the enroll- ment has exceeded all previous rec. ords, Hundreds have entered the freehman classes cf America's great- est educational centers, There {s not a Negro college or aniversity throughout the country, that hes not been compelled to hang out the S.

Summary of Events Of Note Among Negroes For September Te ee Cree seer ae a ae Chicago, Oct. 1—The last month ls the national campaign {s on. ‘There sre several outstanding events for the month of September, Organ- zation among colored voters was tperfected, It {s an open secret that Republican leaders are counting greatly on tke votes of Necro citi zens in Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, New York, Connect\-ut, Maryland, West Virginia, Chio, Oklahoma, and two or thres ‘ther states. Demo- crats are alarmed at this condition, pond are making charges of “importa. ‘tion” and other scare-head remarks. | ‘The following are the outstanding everts of the month, In the opin'on LM the Atsociated Negro Press: ..... 1, The meeting and formation of an advisory committce at the Repub: lican Netional Headquarters, Chiea- go, under the direction of Henry Lin- coln Johnson, Robert R. Church, Charles A. Cottrill, and Perry W. Toward; (b) a similsr auxiliary ar- rargements for the Enstern division, ‘under Andrew B. Stevens, Isaac Nut- ter and Clarence Mathews. | 2° The pilgrimage to Marlon, O., Serator Iarding’s home, where rep- resentativen of various organizations civic and religious, listened to the presentation of the Negro’s clalms by | William H. Lewis, and the response jby Senator Harding. 3, The appointment of Birs. Le-| tia C. Fleming, of Cleveland, as di- rector of the work among women, with Mrs. Victcria Clay Hsley as assistant, 4.

The certification, by the Sec- retary of State of Arkansas, of the nore of J. H. Blount, as a candi- date for Goverror, It is evident that much political work must be done In October by both parties. In a quiet way, Demo- crats ate making a play for Negro votes in Northern states. In organs ization and publicity, the Republi- eans have-a keener appreciation of the needs of the time than ever be- fore, will have to be utilized with intensive activity for registration, team work, and unity of purpose, if the ends sought aro not to be en- dangered. | | Collention for the day was $26.50.

Oh be ashamed! Let us do the things God would have us to do, that is to do the right thing, Read the 3rd chap. ter of Matt., 8th verse, the question is asked—“\Vjl}_ a man rob God?” Remember, when we rob the Church and the poor people, we have robbed God. If each man plays his part, then stays In hts place, if you are @ preacher, stay in the pulpit with the Word of God, for your guard let it kill whom it may, for the right will overcome someday, You may suffer from it, but stay on the job. And we want good deacons, who will help their pastor to take care of the Church, and the poor people, I see some deacons trying to come out on a beat, got girls out with beg- ging lists, to help get money to take big trips and the Church ts rote ting down, and is spiritually dead, Now, listen, let us sing one song and pray one prayer, preach one gos- rel, then the Lord will bless us for, His blessings are much needed.

He has thought and there is no color to that thought but a blessing to humanity from an economical standpoint. Then there is push behind his new discovery that will be hard to find in another genius. Let the race be proud of him and help him go; if you can't understand how he did it, that is not sufficient to keep it from being thought and discovery worth while. It will take another administration to change the conditions in Hayti, and give fair play to the black brethren in America; an administration that does not use Mississippi and Louisiana type to do construction work. They are better prepared for destructive work. There are plenty of men in America, both white and black, who believe that the pen is mightier than the sword, but they are not so thickly settled in the South among the white race. We want an administration that declares all men equal and only the inability will hold him to a lower place, but ability makes him climb the utmost heights and enjoy the blessing that is so sweet when one has conquered. Don't stop on the thought that Harding can do all this for the citizens, but be equally as careful about the election of the Senators and Congressmen. They need to have the same mind of right and righteousness as the President. We know only a few democrats., whose hearts are right on all subjects; still it would not hurt to ascertain a few facts about the condition of the laborer man, the Negro man and the change of things in Hayti, before voting for either.

West, principal of L'Ouverture School and Mr. Morris, the janitor, for their hospitality shown us in the entertaining of Bishop N. C. Cleaves, D.D., at the above named place. II. II. EDMOND. Pastor. Sunday morning found us on our way to the place of worship. It was a delightful treat to have the presence of Bishop N. C. Cleaves, D. D., Presidin gBishop of the 6th Episcopal District of the C. M. E. Church in America. At 11:00 a. m., he took a text from Luke 27th chapter and 17th verse. Subject—"Walking with Christ and knew it not," from which he preached a soul stirring sermon. At 3:30 he ascended the stand and announced a subject from Job 2:3. Subject: "Perfection." Here he dealt with the natural state of man and the final test. He was at himself and seemed to have been in the presence of God. We were made to rejoice as we received the message he brought to us. He closed Sunday night on the theme of "The Kingdom of God." We are always glad to be in the presence of this princely hero. As a preacher, he is a power in the pulpit. Many thanks to the Pastors and their congregations for their presence and the interest which they manifested in the services. Guess who was married at the Parsonage last week and left the city for parts unknown. Mr James Lamb deserves the thanks of our Sunday night congregation for the splendid way in which he handled the stereoptican views as an operator of much skill. Mr. Fletcher Robinson, our new Sunday School Superintendent is building a neat cottage on N. Ohio Avenue. Calvary Baptist Last Sunday marked a new day in the history of divine worship at Calvary Baptist, because the services were of a spiritual nature. The Sunday School began the spiritual move and the fire lasted throughout the day. We reviewed the lives of Saul, David and Solomon with interest and found ourselves filled with their ambition and zeal. It is the first duty of every Christian on Sunday morning to see to the children being in Sunday School, even if the parents have to bring them. At 11:00 a. m., the Pianist Mrs. Scott sounded the sweet strains of music and the Choir marched in, singing. The congregation caught the tune and soon the building was ringing with the sweetness of vocal praises. The Pastor cleared up the announcements, and then from II Kings he took this text—"Why sit we here until we die?" He pictured these poor forsaken lepers; then compared sin with them, how it keeps us back and exiles us from the love of God, how the world will help you to break out with sin all over, then it will be the first to cry—"unclean" "unclean" how it will leave you on the outside, and how God will prepare a table by your enemies to save you if you will only have the faith to go. Not only will you get enough for yourself, but you will have enough to tell those who set you aside: "There is plenty and to spare." Every man should question himself on bettering his condition. He preached a wonderful sermon and many cried—"Amen! Amen!" in witness of the truth. The B. Y. P. Us. show every sign of prosperity and are putting a special line of pep, that it might make it over the Winter. Those present last Sunday were filled with the 25th Isaiah, and left the meeting feeling like they had been with God. The evening service was equal to the morning, only the Chair was much stronger and rendered more effective singing. The new voices are proving to be wonderful assets and Prof. E. M. Barnes, once more smiles the smile of approval. Many announcements and arrangements were cleared up about the caring for the State Convention and it seems that the members and friends of all the Churches mean to give them the best entertainment in the history of the Convention. When the Pastor's mind was clear of the temporal things, he fed us from this subject drawn from Zach. 3:2—"A brand plucked out of the fire." He made us realize the purifying nature of the fire and that only pure things can be separated from the impure by fire, and he who endures the test is counted worthy.—Another great sermon and we were ready to go in its strength for another week. The Kansas State Convention opens here next Tuesday. The Women have the first two days. This will be one of the most interesting sessions of this great organization. Calvary Church is lining up nicely for the entertainment of this body of Christian workers. Several National characters will visit Wichita during the Convention. Minister and delegates from all over the State will be here. Many visitors also will be in attendance. All citizens are interested in the Convention and are opening their doors to the entertainment of all who may come. New Hope Baptist "Saul, David and Solomon Compared" was the general theme in Sunday School. The comparison brought out weak and strong points of character in those Kings. Dr. E. T. Fishback, our Minister, used as a subject—"The Conservation of the Sabbath" at 11:00 a.m. Text, Isaiah 58:13-14, on eloquent, logical, spiritual sermon was preached. The B. Y. P. U., is continually improving. The young people are truly studying the word. After a pleasant visit in Wichita, Mrs. Mary Hyder and sons, Otis and Orie, have returned to their home in Pueblo, Colo. Mrs. Ruby Tines is visiting friends in Colorado. While in the state she will visit in Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and other cities.

We sympathize with Mr. D. Johnson. Excerpts from the sermon delivered by our Minister Sunday at 8:00 p. m. Scripture Lesson Rev. 3:14-22—Text, Luke 19:40-44. Subject—“The Knowledge of our visitation.” “This is a sad slight, Jesus lamenting because Jerusalem knew not the day of her visitation. This refers to the destruction of that city by Titus A. D. 70. Read Numbers 16, also God's visit is judicial punishment.” the 89th Psalm. In this Psalm "Ignorance of the time of God's visitation ruins a race, nation, or Church. You who know the law and do it not, shall be beaten with many stripes." Note ignorance, these things were to come upon Jerusalem because of the people's ignorance. If any man lack wisdom, let him ask God who giveth liberally and upbraideth not. "God visited Abram, Sarah and Jacob. He changed each one's name which indicated that each one would have a larger sphere of usefulness." "Jerusalem's ignorance was culpable deadness to spiritual things. Those who can not enjoy the Gospel and can enjoy worldly amusements are in this way. This ignorance causes desecration of the Sabbath, also this is turning your back upon honor, comfort and profit. Read Isa. 58:13-14." The Negro, today should be riding over the high places of Africa, but he knew not the day of God's visitation. Try the Lord in His house. 'Bring ye all the tithes into the store house that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now here with, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.' "Behold He stands at the door and knocks. If you love Him, let Him in. Obey Him." "Our God will supply our needs." This is to all, but I specially plead with New Hope to not neglect the spiritual interests which He has entrusted to you. If we obey Him, He will cause us to ride upon the high places of the earth. Church, God visits us. Shall we not know the day of His visitation? The Church of the Living God had a beautiful Sunday School and many lovely things were said in the lesson. At 11:00 a. m., the rostrum was filled by Rev. J. H. Wright, he said many good things. The Bible Band met at 6:00 p. m., and the meeting was very interesting. The lesson was well explained. The vice president presided. The rostrum was filled by Elder Farr and Elder Stuckey, Elder Farr was the first speaker. Both used for their text, St. John 2:5. Elder Wright began, his 30 nights' meeting last Sunday in K. C. M. He wishes the cooperation of all God-sent Ministers to assist him, his address is: 1111 Cherry St, K. C. Mo. Elder Wright is a splendid man. and he wishes to preach with all God-sent Ministers. Don't forget, when you are in the city, come to 337 Oakland Ave., you will hear something. You are always welcome to this place of worship. Elder A. J. Moore is now in Leavenworth, trying to build up a work there for the Lord. Several members from K. C. Ks., went up Sunday to assist him. All are welcome to this temple at any time. Come let us reason together. Premier Dancers of Chicago, Appear At Wheat Show The Premier Dancers of the Chicago Grand Opera Company, Galli Currel, and John McCormick bear the distinction of having been the three major attractions of the year in Chicago last season, great crowds having had to be turned away from the Coliseum in Chicago on the nights when these artists were scheduled to appear. The appearance of the Premier Dancers at the Arcadio of the New Exposition Building during an entire week of the International Wheat Show at Wichito, will mark the most brilliant opening of an entertainment season that Wichita has ever experienced. Serge Oukraisky and Andreas Pavely, the great Russian Dancers and they will be accompanied by the Philharmonico Orchestra one of the best orchestras in the entire country. Lavish costumes, highly imaginative stage settings, with solo episodes and impressive ensembles give an opportunity for the most spectacular plot of color and movement that the imagination can conceive. Under the direction of Pavley and Oukrainsky this ballet of the Chicago Grand Opera Company has during the past two seasons achieved a truly marvelous success. In New York and other Eastern cities these dancers were greeted with literal storms of applause. FRATERNAL KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS TAOS LODGE No. 10.
