Tuskcgee Institute Has Largest Enrollment In History By The Negro Associated Press Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Oct. 1. September 14th marked the beginning of the fortieth session of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The Registrar of the Institute and his co-workers were busy five days before school opened registering new students. Each day furnished its quota of new arrivals and the records on the first day of the school year showed that some 1900 students had been enrolled. This is the largest opening enrollment in the history of the Institute. Notwithstanding this fact, the stream of incoming students is yet steady. Every lot of space will soon be taken up. It is also noticeable that many of the new students are qualifying for the advanced classes. Who Will Start Daily Newspaper For Our Race Every time a group of our leaders, thinkers and captains of finance get together, it is a griced, "by common consent," after prolonged discussion, that a daily newspaper would be a tremendous asset to the race. The argument stops, however, when the subject of operation is approached. The tombstones of past efforts are pointed to with skeptical dismay, and with shaking heads, lowered eyes and crocodile tears, the subject is dropped. As a matter of fact, the situation resolves itself 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 Herald, which he ran for two solid years and more, on time, in face of all kinds of odds and discouragements. Recently, however, he has been compelled, on account of the shortage of white print paper, and possibly other unseen difficulties, to cut the publication down to twice a week. But listen to the encouragement he received from one of the most notable publicist of the race, W. E. B. DuBois. In a recent number of The Crisis, Dr. DuBois said that he had 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 reasoning from a philosopher Here is argument just as reasonable: A new baby is born into the world, the mother is deserted by her friends, but by sacrifice and perseverance, she is able to nurse the child from infanthood to beautiful babyhood. Then her friends return and say: "O, if we had known your baby 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 gainer rather than the loser. Establishing a daily has been discussed again and again with publishers of such papers as the Chicago Defender, the New York Age, and the Afro-American, Baltimore, which are issued weekly, and have large circulations. But there have always been a deaf ear turned. Some one is going to start a "sure enough daily" some of these days, before long, and everybody is going to be surprised if they don't watch out. Marcus Garvey, the wizard of organized frenzy among the masses, and a very keen student of the value of publicity, is beginning to discuss at length in his "Negro World," the necessity for a daily newspaper Garvey has the nerve 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 reading? Tens and tens of thousands of them everything they can get their hands on. WHO'LL START THE DAILY* Lawton Oklahoma News Lawton is on a boom, the people are beginning to see it is better to buy than to rent. They are buying homes, both white and white. Rev. Owens and sister, M. Williams have returned from Lima, Oklahoma, where they attended the S. S., and B. Y. P. U., Convention last week. Mr. Claude Williams, Jr., has left for Booker Tee, Okla., where he will enter school. Mr. Williams is a fine and esteemed young man, the secretary of Bethlehem S. S., and we are sure to miss him. He filled his position with credit, always on his post of duty. Sunday morning Schools, Colleges And Universities Of The Country Have Large Enrollments By The Negro Associated Press Chicago, Oct. 1.—Reports from every section of the United States to the Associated Negro Press indicate that the largest enrollment of students in the various schools, universities and colleges of the country, is now being made. In the public schools of the North, thousands of children who were denied education in the South, have been enrolled. School boards are endcavoring to make provision for the accommodation of the overflow. Little or no friction is reported in the mixed schools, and the education assimilation is running as smoothly as the proverbial river. In the South, there is a most remarkable alertness, of boards of education to improve the educational facilities of colored children. Many new buildings have been erected and old ones improved, the sanitary condition has been improved, and the salaries of teachers raised. The whites frankly admit the move is one along the line of "zclf-preservation," in an effort to stem the tide of migration. In the big Northern and Eastern universities of the country, both of young men and women, the enrollment has exceeded all previous records. Hundreds have entered the freshman classes of America's greatest educational centers. There is not a Negro college or university throughout the country, that has not been compelled to hang out the S. R. O. —standing room only—sign. This remarkable craving for an education is indicative of the new determination of the races to reach the highest state of efficiency for the field of life's activities. his presence was absent. We hope that our little secretary will make good in school, an dwe are going to pray for his success. His mother, Mrs. S. Williams accompanied him. Our beloved Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church is on the sick list, he will leave today for Frederick, Oklahoma, where he will enter the hospital. We are praying that he is not serious and that he will return in a few days. Bro. G. W. Williams is on the sick list this week. CHURCH NEWS Bethlehem Church is still at work. Sunday morning at 9:00 a. m., found us in S. E., and had a grand review, with fifty present. Collection was good. Everything was done in order. The morning service opened wit prayer service at 10:30, at 11:00, the Pastor was at his post. His text was Gen. 8:4—"And the Lord God called unto the man and said, where art thou?" He filled our hearts with the hallowed fire, inspite of his illness. We then adjourned to meet the Gallilee Baptist Church which had on a rally and invited Bethlehem an the A. M. E. Church to help her out. We answered he call. At 3:30 p. m., Rev, Bro. Strauther, of the A. M. E. Church filled Rev, E. D. Parber's rostrum, and took for a text—Act. 17:22. "Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars Hill and said, ye men of Athens, I perceive in me that in all things ye are too superstitious." He certainly did pour out the good oil in our hungry and thirsty souls. We were all made to feel glad, and say it is good to have been here. Collection and adjournment. At 5:00 o'clock Bothlehem B. Y. P. U., went into session, with president, Bro. J. L. Lillie at his post. We had a grand lesson. Collection was good. We then went into 8:00 o'clock services, with Pastor Owens in his rostrum, took for text—Rev. 22:4. Inspite of his bad feelings, he preached a strong sermon. God is for that grand yours gospel rian. Our hearts were made to burn within while he poured out the love to us. Summary of Events Of Note Among Negroes For September By The Negro Associated Press Chicago, Oct. 1.—The last month of the national campaign is on. There are several outstanding events for the month of September. Organization among colored voters was perfected. It is an open secret that Republican leaders are counting greatly on the votes of Negro citizens in Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Oklahoma, and two or three other states. Democrats are alarmed at this condition, and are making charges of "importation" and other scare-head remarks. of the Associated Negro Press!..... 1. The meeting and formation of an advisory committee at the Republican National Headquarters, Chicago, under the direction of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Robert R. Church, Charles A. Cottrill, and Perry W. Howard; (b) a similar auxiliary arrangements for the Eastern division, under Andrew B. Stevens, Isaac Nutter and Clarence Mathews. 2. The pilgrimage to Marlon, O., Senator Harding's home, where representatives of various organizations civic and religious, listened to the presentation of the Negro's claims by William H. Lewis, and the response by Senator Harding. 3. The appointment of Mrs. Lethia C. Fleming, of Cleveland, as director of the work among women, with Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley as assistant. 4. The great "National Drive for Justice" held on September 22nd, on which date the greatest array of race oratory in history was turned against the evils of political injustice, and urged greater unity in behalf of political righteousness. 5. The novel distribution of the pictoral herald through the publicity department, under the direction of Phil H. Brown. 6. The open letter of William McDonald of Texas to Col. Roscoe Conliff Simmons, on his stand on political issues. 7. The stand of the Negroes of Maryland for fair dealing in politics, and the determined candidacy of W. Asbie Hawkins, of Baltimore, for the United States Senate. 8. The certification, by the Secretary of State of Arkansas, of the name of J. H. Blount, as a candidate for Governor. It is evident that much political work must be done in October by both parties. In a quiet way, Democrats are making a play for Negro votes in Northern states. In organization and publicity, the Republicans have a keener appreciation of the needs of the time than ever before, will have to be utilized with intensive activity for registration, team work, and unity of purpose, if the ends sought are not to be endangered. Collection for the day was $26.50. Galileo Baptist rally collection was $100.00. M. L. TIPPINS. 304 N. 1st Street. A Tribute To. The Life And Works of Mrs. J. R. Ransom Topelea, Kans., Sept. 6, 1920.

She was unassuming, yet always ready to do whatever her husband as pastor assigned to her hand; she always had a word of comfort to the parishers where ever they served. ... No night was too dark, no storm too severe for her to face when duty called. Without complaining she sacrificed her means and energy to make it pleasant for her husband's ministerial friends She strove by precept and example to teach her children that those who would have friends must show themselves friendly. How well she succeeded in this great lesson of love and trust, her own children and many friends are living evidences. Slater Ransom was converted and joined the A. M. E. Church under the preaching of her own husband, August, 1894. She lived a faithful and consistent Christian all these years. She was stricken by the hand of affliction six months ago today.

On April 29, Dr. Henderson brought her to her home here at 1726 Topela Avenue, where resides her eldest son, Mr. William S. Ransom and his wife and family. When they had placed her upon her bed to restshe call: "I shall never leave here until I am carried away." She and her children insisted upon Rev.

No patient ever had better care from physician, children, society and friends than she, no patient ever endured their a lition with greater fortitude and unfaltering trust in God than she. She was ever conscious of everything and person, and when she called her children around her bed she said—"Be true to your God, loving to each other, standing firm by each other, taking care of your father who has always cared for you, and at the end of your labors meet me in heaven. For while I know I am going I would like to live for Louis' sake. He has worked so hard to keep me here." She passed to her peaceful rest without a struggle.

Mr. Frank Harris and wife have moved in their new home on River T 25 Sjde. He has an excellent home, one of which to be proud. We are engaged in prayer services all of this week. Heathman, Miss.—Dots To The Negro Star: Once more I come to you in written words as a leader for my people, with a heart full of sadness, seeing that the wrong is trying to overcome the right; but it is not so, for the right will always overcome the wrong. Please look at the 3rd chapter of Rev., from the 11th to 22nd verse, some say that this world is in a bad fix, of course, I will admit it in-part, it is all under the leaders, that this world is in the shape that it is in. There are too many unprepared leaders. It seems that everybody is going after the Dollar and leaving the souls of men behind and the good women and children are overlooked, Churches have gone to wreck. Just a few Pastors are trying to fill good Churches and they are having a hard time, for the other class is fighting him to his members. Now, this is a shame on our part, always got some one on the pad to beg for money to buy us fine clothes an dto take big trips, and his Church is propped up on each side. Oh be ashamed! Let us do the things God would have us to do, that is to do the right thing. Read the 3rd chapter of Matt., 8th verse, the question is asked—"Will 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 his place, if you are a preacher, stay in the pulpit with the Word of God, for your guard let it kill whom it may, for the right will overcome some-day. 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 begging lists, to help get money to take big trips and the Church is rotting down, and is spiritually dead. Now, listen, let us sing one song and pray one prayer, preach one gospel, then the Lord will bless us for, His blessings are much needed. Care en in Our City. EY BUSINESS: Try Us. WICHITA -- I hope the day will soon come, when the black man and the white man will consider his ways and do the right. I want to say a word about our white friends at Heathman, the owner of this great place on the Southern railroad, The Robert Shaw Co. who are the greatest men in the state, they give more money for labor, and give the fairest deal to laborers on his place. He takes no sides with the wrong man. This great man is a friend to the poor colored people. He has about 800 acres of land and there has not been a cross word on the place this year between, him and his laborers. He has one of the best over-lookers, he is good, loving and kind. I can't find words to bring to you about this great man in the person of Mr. Godbold, who is general manager for the Robert Shaw Co. He has done more good here this year than anyone before. He has all the colored people more than pleased with him. We feel safe, for our wants are filled at all times. There are over 500 coming here to look out for homes next year, but he can't fill all their wants for the best people on this place are going to stay just as they are, but we are not looking for the trash gang to stay for we don't, need them at all. This man has the best conveniences, best barns, best calf's, best cotton houses dreamed, land good, water, and he gives more money than any other man in the state. He gave me a nice sum of money on our new $1500 Church at Browning, Miss., at which we will have a cleaning up rally on the first Sunday in November. We are going to raise $1000 on that day, if the Lord be with us. We want more Churches, schools, banks, Churches for spirituality, schools for education, banks for finance; then good honest men and women to see after the business. We have 22 banks and it should be not less than 100. Now, the great campaign is on, and I am glad to know that some Negro is in it. I hope the day will soon come when we as souther Nevroes will be able to stand for the right of our country and hold our The Product of the World's Greatest WOOLEN LOOMS.

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.
