M.
Dr. E. T. Fishback, Minister, Greater New Hope Baptist Church, one of the most efficient pastors in the city; after 12 years of planting, is about to gather some full, ripe fruit of his labor, because, he counts it a joy to build a house unto the Lord.

In thinking of our city and race with pride, view the Greater New Hope, Missionary Baptist Church, now under construction on the Northwest corner of 9th and Ohio Streets. This magnificent church means to be the Church for all the people, when completed, a real Cosmopolitan of the North End.

Twelfth Wedding Anniversary Celebrated.
One of the prettiest affairs of the season was the celebration of the twelfth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cowan at their beautiful home 817 Indiana Ave. The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers, palms and other potted plants. The host and hostess, as they stood, between Mesdames F. O. Miller and G. G. Brown receiving their many friends, who called to offer congratulations, did not look as though they had travfled twelve miles-stones in the matrimonial life, sharing alike life's joys and sorrows. Their little boys, James and Kenneth, tastily dressed in little white suits, jumping here and there did not quite understand what was going on, however they did their share in entertaining the guests. The others who assisted in making it pleasant for the guests were Mesdames J. T. Chinnith, A. Sellars, P. M. Bell, Percy Car-
ter, Walter Williams, and W 111 Mitchell.
Mirses Fay Oliver and Verna Hail delighted their hearear with their melodious voices. Miss Harriett Chinnith, in her girlish and charming manner presided at the piano during the evening.
Many and costly were the presents received, some coming from Chicago, Ill. and Los Angeles, Cal.
After being served to a dainty lunch the guests departed wishing Mr. and Mrs. Cowan many more years of wedded life.
State Sunday School Convention Meets at Hutchinson.
3000 In Men's Parade.
Special to The Negro Star:
Topeka, Kansas, April 4, 1921.

THIS WEEK'S NEWS-THIS WEEK.
WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, April. 15. 1921.
CONGRESS MATTER TAKING SHAPE.
Special to The Negro Star:
News comes to us from the Congress headquarters at Nashville Tennessee that things are getting in readiness for the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, which meets in Kansas City, Mo., June 21-22. The Kansas people are delighted with the thought that they will have the pleasure of entertaining the Congress and of making special preparations to have the delegates most comfortable entertainment.
The people of Kansas and Missouri are vying with each other as to which will send the greater number of delegates. The people of Oklahoma have decided that they will take the lead in this matter. They always do things on a large scale; it is probable, therefore, that they will outdo both Kansas and Missouri in this matter
Delegates from the Southern section are planning to attend the Congeress in a "Baptist special Train." which will carry the delegates Florida, Georgia Alabama, East Louisiana and Tennessee. These delegates will mobilize at Nashville, leaving there on Tuesday Morning June 21st, at nine o'clock, reaching Kansas City Wednesday Morning June 22nd, at six o'clock. This train will be made up of first class day couches and Pullman Cars which will enable the messengers to make the trip in the most convenient and comfortable style.
Texas and Arkansas promise also to furnish extra large delegations. From present indications there will be a larger number of messengers in attendance than have attended any previous session. All grades of Sunday school and B Y. P.U. works will be discussed in the most thorough manner. Problems in educational and missionary endeavor will be discussed and substantial help will be given to all grades of Christian Workers Every Sunday School and Union should elect messengers at once, and send thier names to Rev. S. W. Bocate D. D., Kansas City Mo.,
fort of the delegates.
Outstanding speakers will appear on the program. Among the International speakers are, George Platt Knox, superintendent of education, International Sunday School association; R. A. White, associate superintendent, young people's division, International Sunday School association; Mrs. Mary Muffly Morehouse, children's specialist, Chicago. Dr. G. Franklin Ream, Kansas City, Rev. Jessie M. Bader, St Louis, Dr. Edmond J. Kuip, Tupeka, Mrs G. E. Dowis, Blackwell, Oklahoma, and many others will speak, Dr. D. W. Kuriz, president of McPherson college, one of the principal speakers at the World's convention, Tokyo, will give one of the big addresses of the convention. On the evening of the first day a magnificent pageant will be given by the Sunday schools of Hutchinson, entitle I, "From Bethleham to Tokyo."
Men's parade at five o'clock the second day and a big concert by the municipal band of Hutchinson at the opening of evening service on the last day.

Dear friend Sims:
It has been so long since I
have written to you or since you
have written to me that I hardly
know where to pick up the
threads of our broken correspondence. At any rate I am going to try.
Since I have heard from you there have been many and great changes in the world. These changes have been or rather have occurred in both the political and financial world Our attempts tho adjust ourselves to these changes have been in many cases as vessels moving in an uncharteredsea And so far as I have been able to learn the wisest are unable to forsee our art of landing.
The fall in the prices of farm products has caused the very gravest financial stringency known in the lives of the present generation. Too, there have been many failures. But these failures have been confined for the most part to large planters and other individuals rather than to companies.
I trust that you have escaped the strain of these conditions by being in that part of the country where the force of the panic was not so severe.
The banks of Greenwood led and the others in the Delta are rapidly following in an announcement of a policy which has for its aim the curtailment of the cotton acreage. This policy as stated by these banks consists in their refusal after the first of next July to furnish money for the purchase of foods and feeds.
I am sure that you will recognize this as being a very revolutionary move on the part of the banks of this territory. In fact, it is a complete reversal of their former policy. Their former policy being to furnish only those planters who made a specialty of cotton and cotton at the expense of everything else.
In studying the ideas of the experts as laid down in the agricultural journals of the country and seeing the actual benefits of their instruction as it is exhibited in the lives of individual farmers only one conclusion naturally follows; either the farmers of this section are unbelievable stupid or else there must be some motive whose force is greater than that of material gain holding them to the cotton idea. Knowing the history of the south and its intentions, this motive is not far to seek. To hold to a policy that studiously neglects the raising of foods for man and animal places the cotton tenant in the hands of the landlord. The tenant then is dependent upon the landlord for every bit of food and for every scrap of clothing used by him self and family. This is to great an advantage for one group of men to hold over another. And most especially is this true when the whole history of the one is directly opposed to the progress and elightment of the other.
In fighting peonage it is necessary for the federal government to recognize that before any lasting progress can be made this condition must be changed. W. S. Moore

We first stop and weep with the family and friends of Mr. Rube Johnston, who lived in this world 103 years and eight months, born a slave, but with no mind of a slave and given a chance bought his own freedom and married his 13 year old bride 88 years ago. Separate only three years during the war and as soon as the chance presented itself returned to his wife. They were blessed with 6 boys and 4 girls, all full of pep and determination to do business. He was born in Virginia and picked his changes through Tennessee. Mississippi and Arkansas to Kansas where he spent a busy life until death, never in bed sick a half day in his life until in injury by his frighten horse some week ago. He was faithful to his vow to Nancy, until death leaving her a home at 1010 N. Washington Ave. They were proud of the success of 16 grand children and 4 great grand children.
He was a proud and ambitions old man until death, not the character by any means that The Wichita Eagle wishes you to see in their write up.
This faithful life demanded that they say something, but there was enough prejudice in the write up to show that he was a long liver, but a southern type of something funny with a bad apperance. We stop here to wonder if there is a white man in America who could go through what he went through and live and make a living at the age of 103. Then we wonder again, could he have bought himself and then served in the war for another man, (acoward) then have sense enoughto make his way from one disgraceful state to another, looking for safety for himsels and his family, using diplomacy that would suit the condition, though ambition ran high, not be in direct support of the State. We wonder again how can our people read The Eagle, which has such desire to picture the dark side of the Negro race, which could not have been of any asset to a citizen, who has lived a pure life in their midst since 1893.
They knew he was worthy of the write up, but he must be treated as something a little lower than that respect, so they stopped in the middle of their article to cast the reflection, together the horse, wagon and the man. We wonder lastly what kind of a heart has this writer and would he have said this about a member of his own race or why he did not let the write up alone all together.
We ask pardon for being stopped in the midst of this beautiful and useful life to think or give to the evil minded white man, who seemingly is made up wrong or his heart is covered from the tenderness of mercy, which is the blessing to man from God, prejudice.
His funeral was attended last Thursday from the St. Paul A. M. E. Church by pastor J. R. Ransom, with Mrs. J. E. Lewis, Jaines R. Johnston, George Johnston, W. E. Johnston, A. F. Johnston and Rev. Ruben Johnston of Philadelphia. We howin humble submission to the will of God and especially with Mrs. Nancy Johnston, who has been so faithful for so long with this noble husband, father and christia n.

Entered as second-class matter June 12th 1919, at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

President Harding, the president of all the people, though elected by the Republicans, delivered a sound and safe message to Congress with both houses present. He saw no hope for the league of nation, only thinks an association of nations will be sufficient. We think that the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God and a mind to rightly treat our neighbor will be the only panacea for the safeguard against wars. If everyone was made to feel that, my brother loved me as much as I love him, then protection would be the only desire. He urged that Taxation, Tariff, Budget, Prices, Prices Railroad, Highways, Merchant, Marine, Communications, Aviation, Soldier Relief, Department of Public Welfare, Lynching and Disarmament and National Defense be adjusted to the satisfaction of the people, that the operation of this government will not be a burden to its subjects. We are proud of the fact that we have a president, who feels that every man can have a chance without disgracing or robbing another man; who wants prosperity, safety and development of this great government by the people, because of the love of its standard of fair play to all. We thank him for his vision to know that lynching should be wiped out and then for his moral courage to ask Congress to legislate laws to wipe it out. This means simply to prepare a way to stop men from unlawfully killing men, when you have laws to punish them for every crime. It means to quiet the temper of the American long enough to see if the accused is guilty. It means to make safe all citizens of America. It means to stop the evil that means a destruction to this government. It means to make Christians act like Christians and save the fair name given America, the Christian civilization. In fact we love a man, who believes in men, acting like men, being cool and level headed in all things, thus, we love President Harding.

The eye of righteousness is open and true hearts of Godly pure poses are still alive in many of the breasts of the best and leading citizens of the great America. They see wrong and weigh balancing power to retard the onward march of this great common welfare. They know that this country can not live part slave and part free. They know that there should be no laws saying that one man is lower than another by natural birth and that men rise or fall according to their own ability if given a chance and that God is no respector of persons. They know if you seperate men it is the thought of the stronger to mistreat the weaker. They know it means to make wide the breach and grow envy and strife and the results are damaging to both sides, that is why we have such a man as Congressman Madden, the Repugliican Congressman from Illinois, to offer a bill to do away with the jimcrow laws, because he knows that safety is in union and union doesn't mean 'come over and help us out of this trouble, and you are our friends, then kick your helper out as soon as the trouble is over.' This kind of friendship will soon end and commonsense reasoning will take its place, and the help will some day be needd and there will be no response. Union based on love and confidence will stand as long as God lives; do we thank Congressman Madden for the step forward to perpetuate union of the American people and stop the prejudice of the people from being protected by law! He is not the only friend that the Negro has in America, they are all over this land even in the South where hell seems to be abiding until the Master comes, there are white men, who believe in a fair play for all men, and will back up the move to the last letter. Their eyes of vision are not closed, and they know that the future depends on union and there is sweetness in life that we can not enjoy unless we treat our neighbor rightly.

A Few Just Demands For Safety.
Following up my suggestion of a few days ago, and its reply to your encouraging letter, I am more than pleased to submit my plans for a movement for the betterment of our race. At a date to be given later, the Negro is going to serve an ultimatum upon the Government Law Making Body in Washington, D. C., wherein he demands the following:
First: The Political Franchise of the Negro in all sections of the country under the same conditions given voters. Second: The enactment of a law, and the enforcement thereof making lynching and mob violence a Federal offense. Third: The enactment of a law making every officer responsible for his prisoner, and Fourth: A law discouraging racial discrimination.
I am sending out petitions to every section of the country to be signed by every Negro in that particular section and returned to me. These petitions are to be put under one cover and turned over to "Officials Washington" supporting the
WHY NOT GO THROUGH THE WORLD WELL DRESSED?
THE HOLE MACHINE
ultimatum as a testimony that the Negro is at last under one thought viz (The enforcement of the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the U. S. A.) Now I am calling upon the Press for the publicity of this movement and for the headquarters of these petitions in their respective district. Upon the Bishops and the Supreme Heads of every Church and Secret Order to pass the word down to their subordinates that they might see the necessity and need of every signature of every one of their members.
These petitions will be sent out May 1st, and I will expect them in about June 1st. Where ever the petitions do not reach, it the Press and those who will advise the unsigned to send their names in, they will be placed with their respective State. THIS CAN BE DONE, if every RACE LOVING man and a woman will do their bit, and if the Press and the ORGANIZATION man and woman will cooperate in encouraging the people and the necessity of immediate action.
I further ask the Editors. Bishops, and the Supreme Heads or who ever, they care to delegate, to meet in Washington at a given cate in a convention for further organization. The serving of the ultimatum and discussing the course we will follow in the event Washington is hostile to us will be the feature. Awaiting further word from you, I am, Yours For The People.

(By The Associated Negro Press)

words of the immortal Rev, John
Jasper of Virginia: "The Sun

President Harding started the ball rolling by putting humanness into humanity. The sweet retrain has been taken up by the members of the cabinet, and it is now being envoed on Capital Hill. The latest solo in the grand chorus comes from none other than the powerful and mighty Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania, who has startled the nation in a statement of justice to the Negro. All that Senator Penrose says is true, and it is bound to have an electrical effect upon other senators, upon law-making bodies and the people in general throughout the nation.
CABINET ROLL CALL
CABINET ROLL CALL In the expansion of this idea, it is most interesting to have intimate and unquestioned knowledge of how the President's official family stands on the subject. The Associated Negro Press is in a position to state authoritatively that every member of the new cabinet can be depended upon to deal isquely with all American citizens. There is no disposition to side-step any of the issues that now confront the people. The issues of Race adjustment are being met, and will continue to be met with frankness and fairness never before equaled.
Secretary of State Hughes is giving careful and sympathetic consideration to the problems of Liberia, Haiti and the Dominican government.

Special to The Negro Star:—
Please let me have space to say a few words through these wonderful columns about our community, owned and controlled by Negroes, with exception of a saw mill which belongs to whites. We have a colored postmaster in person of Mr. J. E. Copeland of whom we are very proud.
Mr. G. H. Watson is doing a respectable business here at Pine City Junction, he is also ticket agent.
On the night of April the 11th, Mrs. Susie Stewart, our teacher and well prepared instructor of our race, gave a grand commencement for her students and this community; the many different kinds of work exhibited was great work.
Our Easter program was something rare, conducted by one of our teachers in person of Mrs. C. Parker and our beloved superintendent, Bro. W. M. Harris. Mrs. Parker is another one of our wide-awake workers. She knows what to do with children. I will tell you later of our district work in June. (Mrs.) Mary Darden, Box 47,
citizens generally, that are pouring into the President and Attorney General are being given careful consideration, and so far as the government is concerned, these conditions will be dealt with firmly. Secretary of War Weeks has given assurance to those who have talked with him that there will be nothing but asquare deal in his department for all. He is thoroughly interested in disabled soldiers, and in fact, all of those who wore the Uniform in the World War, and who now uphold the honor of the flag.
Secretary of Labor Davis is demonstrating to the world that he believes in justice. In the recent Packers' hearing, the Secretary of Labor stood like a stone wall in defense of treating Negro labor fair. Secretary of the Navy Denby has been in the tropical waters surrounding the West Indies, and his opinions of conditions in Haiti will go a long way toward determining the program of achievement and justice in that republic.
