There ha: 1.en much of it late y.

The Eteat and near great, from all cor. ners of the earth, are assembled here t» make of this a better world, “a de. cent pitce In which to ifve", quoting a dist nguished American. There are two sides to the picture: the spectacular. whivh is out on the stage, with cll tho trimmings. g it- t rings, pomp and formality requir. el for the orcasions; and then there is the happenings behind the scencs, the events “under cover”; these latter are the significant sign posts of the tmes, the marks of real or fancied Progress. = 2 “Unknown Soldier” ‘There was the “Unknown Soldier.” It was indeed impressive to observe the honor tnd respect accorded this unfortunate, yct fortunate victim of war's horrors, From the time the former flag-ship of Dewey exme up the Potomac narrows, until tha body wes committed to the earth “ashes ty ashes and dust to dust,” no crea- “ture of earth wes ever given great- er homage. ‘Try as we may, we can only see the events of the day through our eyes; we must of necessity record the observations as they affect us as a people, Would that it were not nec- essary; would thit we might accept the ideal, and look at “the passing show” from the strict neutral view- point of juet a pain American. But while soaring in the glories and beau- ties of the ideal, comes thrt which awakens from the dream of splendor, and once more we are face to face with stern realities. So then, this is the “Unknown Soldier,” except Dr. Emmitt J. Scott, who was selected to represent the Colored American group, as former Special Agsistant to the Secretary of Wer, there was no other official rec- ognition accorded the bronzed Ameri- cans, At the Capitol, every face was officially wh te; a plea had been made publle by a former Service man for recognition of the group among the pal.-bearers, this-wrs denied. True there were many ex-service men in Hine, marching with steady stride and manly dignity, but that very fect should emphasize the Importance of larger official recognition on such an occaston, : President Herding marched: beside General Pershing; Chief Justice Tait, ® former President, marched with the Justices of the Supreme Court; Wood- tow Wilson, a former President, rode in an open carriage with Mrs. Wil. son, a Colored caachman and foot- man being their “Guard of honor”? Disarmament Conference. The opening ofthe World Confer. ence on Limitation of Armament “fol. lowed the great events of Armist'ce Day, which e‘osed in a blaze of light by night, marvelous in magnitude and wonderful to look upon, To look in on such a Conference, and endeavor to comprehend the mag. n'tude and significance of it, brings one ta the keen rerlization of the grectness of life, the dominating in. fluence of man and the Omnipotence of God. There about a group of ta. bles sat the men who are to influence ths dostiny of the world for centuries aud possibly all time to come. Again we were forced to see the situation from our viewpoint. 1 looked to such an observer Jike the white races of the world tugging with the dzrker races for mastery The beautiful and appropriate addres: . of we'come by President Harding, th bold and commanding practical a4 [Arthur Refuses to | Take Stand at Trial * Alfred Arthur, on trial for his If: {n Judge Walther'’s court, refused Thursday to take the stand in h's owr defense despite pleas of his attorneys that he give his version of the death of his brother-in-law for which he was being tried. | Arthur sat silent while Judge Wat- ther questioned end warned him that he was prejudicing h's life by not testifying.

Your reporter, Darlyne Henderson, 2, 0, Box 784 dress and suggcations of Secretary Hnghes, these are well known events now, But what of the tenseness, on the second dry of the Conference, when Admiral Kato, representing the Jap- anese nation arose to express his views on the proposals of the United States? The silenze was agony; the look on every face emphasized the very rarest concern. The gravity of ithe situat’on wrs not lessened by the Japanese lanaguage and gestures of the Toko admiral, The sigh of re- lief did not come until the official in- terpreter, with equal gestures and emphasis and eoquenze, stated the views of Jepan in English. The delicate phase of the’ Confer- enve, of course, Is the far Eastern question, Th's indeed, must be han- dled with gloves. But these practl- cal observations may be made, from the viewpoint of the man “born t blush unseen,” There seem to be everywhere, @ sincere desire to have “peace on earth end good will amon men”, It would be manifcetly un. ond to attribute hyprocrisy to the motives of the assembled nations. And there is hope manifested every: where that the program wil] succeed but the darker people of the world must not, wil not, be fooled, and th: success of the program will make an) portion of our own nat’on thet seek '1o build up a civilzation on a prograr lof prejudice and hate,-look lke seul ions of hades.

Four hundred mil'ions of us kre being continuous'y outraged in the lands of our domicile; and in Africa our Motherland, we are being ex- poited und robbed of our country. As human be’ngs, we cry univers sally to Heaven for he'p and pro- tection. Being men we ourselves feel that what others have done to win liberty we may tlso do; but the Negro does not believe in blood-shed, hence, wa look upon the Disarmament Confer- ence now assembed in the United States of America with great hope; nevertheless, we rechze that there is an absence among a large number of the human Race of that larger hu- manity wh'ch should be the guiding pronciple of Nations and Races ani which will prevent the stronger group in the great humen family granting to the weaker ones their rights. We believe the time has come for a true sett'oment of our human problems; that the white, yellow and black Races of the world shou'd get to- gether and adjust their racial differ- ences. No one Race should trans- gress the bounds of the other. The pr'nviple of Asia for the / “‘i:s, Europe for the Europeans, Af+ ‘or the Africans should be respect- +1 practised by all Races and Nat.

EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH The Sunday sermon Nov. 13th subject: "Heroes and Cowders." Mr. Johnson began by reading three different text: 1st text Prov. 29:25: "The fear of man bringth a snare; but whose putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe." 2nd. text John 2:42-43: "Never-the-less among the chief rulers also many believed on Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him. For they loved the praise of men more then the praise of God." 2nd Cor. 3:10. This was a wonderful sermon, very instructive to young as wel as old. The sermon Tuesday, Nov. 15, pretched by Rev. Johnson, was to the mind of the writer, one of the best of the series, taking as a text I. John latter part of 5 10: "He that believeth not God both made him a har." Rev. Johnson begun with "You must confess Christ or deny Him. must believe Him or call Him a lie. Ohl Yes Mr. Johnson, says the nice inner I believe on Him. "So does devils in hell, there are no unbeliefs in hell ton ght they both believe and tremble but all to late. I tell you what would hurt me tonight: if I found my son had no confidence in me. One cannot pray or work for Christ unless he or she is willing to sacrifice. But Christ only ask you to give up things that are harmful to you. Even a tramp wants a drink out of a clean bucket; so it is with sinners, they want the Gospel out of clean vessels. Rev. Johnson made clear the other night that all sins are forgiven the moment when Christ is accepted according to God's promise also that assurance was simply the acceptance of a stated fact as the truth, and faith in the reliability of God's word. When this is done God Himself sees to the rest. If you want to be saved you must believe on Christ, but to believe on Him in the Bible sense means that faith which leads us to confess and accept Him. Ohl How many souls are in hell tonight because of unbelief. No man ever want to go to hell. No my friends every unbeliever calls God a liar. But Mr. Johnson drove home to the erring one with greater force then ever last night the terribleness of one's sins finding them out. Sin is the only thing that comes in the world full grown. God don't take no fools into heaven and common sense will make a bargain with Christ. Brothers and Sisters—Be like Paul, he looked the devil square in the eye and said: devil, I am going to expose you to the world, I have worked for you and I know what your pay is. One of the greatest questions is what is the pay to be? Paul talked to the devil like a man. Devil—"The wages of sin is deaththen die to the love of sin. Christ—But the gift of God is eternal life." Sit where you are and believe on Christ and he will give you eternal life. The Bible is the best book on Hygiene of any other book in the world. Medicine is used because the laws of health laid down in the Bible were not obeyed. If you think I am discouraged tonight you don't know me. We can eat up all we cook tonight. The spiritual interest we have shown is not sufficient. The churches have too many clinkers in them; we should before building a fire clean out the clinkers. Don't be a sham when you might be a pillow. Don't be a vacuum when you might be a vessel full. MUSIC TRAINING. Club, Quartette and Gospel Singing.

Sunday School opened at the usual hour with all teachers rush to their posts of duty, if tardy and most of the scholars present ready to learn more about Paul and his loyalty to Christ. It is indeed a pleasure to be present and see the interest the young people display in this department of the church. The lesson was reviewed by Prof. E. M. Barnes from the blackboard. We enjoyed the pastor's words of endorsement and encouragement. The pulpit was filled by Rev. J. W. Hayes of Leavenworth who delivered us a most wonderful sermon to a full house. He has accepted the call to Calvary and we welcome our new pastor. Many of the royal members paid in the rally. His text was in harmony with our Sunday School lesson and we doubly enjoyed it. The Junior B. Y. P. U. held an excellent session at 5:00 p. m. It is amusing to see our young fok fill their respective offices promptly and carry on the service so splendidly. The Senior B. Y. P. U. opened at 6:30 with a large number in attendance, all seemed to be taking hold and attending all services more regularly. Truly God is encouraging us by increasing the interest and giving us efficient instructors in all departments of the church. The evening service was very impressive. Most of the choir members were present, and under their chorister, Prof. Barnes, rendered solemn and sweet music. This sermon also delivered by Rev. Hayes enlightened, consoled and revived the church. Surely our Prayer Week has not been vainly spent. Let every week be prayer,week. Thus Calvary is looking forward with great things in the future. St. Matthews C. M. E. St. Matthew C. M. E. Church, corner 11th and Mosley. Sundry School opened 9:45 by the Assistant Superintendent Mrs. O. A. Briley. Song service. Reading 27th Psalm. Teachers and pupils in their places. Subject of lesson: "Paul's Courageous Tealmony." It was a very interesting lesson to all. After 20 minutes study on the lesson, the assistant, Mrs. O. A. Briley carefully reviewed the little folks on the lesson. It is wonderful to see and hear just what the little ones are learning about Paul, and the work of Christ. They can tell you. Mothers come see. Send us your children, we will help them. At 11:30 the Rev. A. Jackson preached for us, as our pastor Rev. H. H. Edmond is still absent from us on account of the illness of his daughter. We hand a wonderful sermon and were fill with the manna from on high. Sunday proved to be a success ful day in every way. 6:30 p. m., the Epworth League service opened with song and prayer. The President and Officers in their places; subject: "A Surrendered and Victorious Life." The discussion was very interesting and we.l discussed and enjoyed by all. A nice program was rendered.

E Church, Rev. H. W. Jamison, D D LL. D, the National GrnJ Master of the U. B. F. spoke words of truth and advised safely the coast for the race. He proved himself to be worth of the many positions he now holds. The following are a few excerpts from his message:—Truly, we all know, that wisdom and knowledge know no man by color of skin. He was the first Negro to serve this government as Judge Advocate of the army. He told if the inspiration he put in our boys and what great records they made in Spanish War in Cuba,—demonstrating to the world the Negro makes a splendid leader and during this last war it was no trouble for them to be leaders of their regiment. He told the story of his humble birth in a one room log cabin, parent died when three years of age how his auntie dressed him in his uncle's old pants which was large enough to put four boys in, with nuttie's waits and shoes, with one one strap suspender, often the laughing stock for the children, but the aspiration was there and now he leads. He gave us illustrations and thoughts to prove that the Negro has imitated other races so long until it is very hard for him to be original. The white looks on you with disgust when you are all regalled in his clothes. He advised us to get things of our own that look like us. In our home, one sees white pictures on the wall, our children playing white doll and we can't sees why they love white the best when we have taught him from birth up. Take a child and let her play with a white doll three years then bring a brown doll and she will not have the brown doll. These things only teach white superiority and black inferiority—reverse and give the Negro child a Negro dolls and see if it does not change the attitude of the Negro regarding black and white. During slavery time there were four distinct classes of Negro; the butler, the gardner, the cook, and the pla- tion and each was taught to enjoy the other, by making one feel that he or she was better than the other, hence that decision still lives on in the minds of certain classes of Negroes, try the same thing in Wichita, and you will see a leader up at the "Big House trying to sell out," the evil of the race is not from without but from within. If there is one sixteenth of Negro blood in your veins you are classed as a Negro and you are a Negro so quit trying to pass for white and walk beside the Negro, Be all Negro. The Negro woman has proved her worth above all women of the world, knowing this and also realizing how she has been handleapped no Negro man should be found who is ashamed of the good women of his race. Rev. H. W. Jamison is the National 50 brand new Suits and Dresses—and they are such garments as we have not seen at this price for years—We bought them at a ridiculously low price and we have priced them much lower than garments which originally cost as much as they did.

Your race and your God need you but they cannot use you if you will not get in touch with their influences. ers of our race whether in social, fraternal or church circles ought to take a positive strend and refuse to air the troubles of their organization before a morbit crowd bent on merely tasting tibits of scandal. If the trouble is so serious that it cannot be set in the circles where it originated then away with it to the Courts of Law and the Justice of Rome where conclusions that are final will be determined. The race as a whole needs a strong leadership. "Men on Horse Back" who can rule their organizations from within without bringing a disinterested public into their affairs. Negro lawyers, doctors, editors, teachers and preachers are the forces that must lift our race to higher grounds. Say, let us fellows who labor recognize the fact that they have us beaten when it comes to figuring for the best interests of our race as a whole. What do you mean. Why I mean let us recognize that their abilities fit them for the leadership of our race, and recognizing that fact let us so low their lead. If they beat and deceive us what matter all races that have went before us were beat and deceived by some. But they had sense enough to put the some in prison when they caugt them in the act. Let us follow suit. THE white gangster is a living detriment to our race. It is from his class that the slayers of innocent victims, burners of home and ordinary mob promoters are recruited. It is this type of dope craved criminals that add horror to race riots, and any city takes a step forward in the spirit of true municipal government when its police have orders to shoot them down on sight. Sentimentalities ought not to have weight in measuring out justice to such a class of crimina's but drastic methods should meet their every advance in our cities. may be that now and again the Negro's magnify the amount of racial prejudice which they feel exists against them in this country; but one thing certain is that they do not magnify the fact that once in awhile Ne- n s Editor and Publisher AT WICHITA, KANSAS TELEPHONE MARKET $130 TEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Assistant Editor Assistant Editor Assistant Editor Advertising and Circulating Manager ION RATES: $1.50 .90 .53 .20 June 12th 1919, at the Post Office at March 3, 1879.

There is a Far East Question that has been discussed but what about an AFRICAN QUESTION that will some day demand attention. Out of this conference, however may grow a spirit of world interest in the rights of smiller nations. then their ability to adopt the good methods, policies, customs and institutions of other races and by their own spirit of originality improve upon them as they move forward towards the realms of absolute racial success. If the Negro is an imitator he is but following close in the footsteps of his Aryan brother who in turn has from the drown of his civilization imitated the black races that give civilization to the world. As an imitator he stands in a class with the Yellow man of Asia and the Brown man of the Pacific Islands led by the Divine hand of an all wise Providence he imitates, perhaps; but with a sublime purpose which is by a course of gradual elimination of the worthless and acceptance of the things worth while to awake the latent forces of his own initiative, and enable him to pit brain against brain as has done the Japanese who now stand as peer among peers in the world's center of achievement. TO be clean in personal habits; Regard all men as worthy of some consideration even though mentally you are a superior factor; To hold that the color of your skin or texture of your heir does not put you above the black skin and curly hair unfortunates of your race; To remember your own sins and errors when reflecting on the mean things you know about the other fellow; To be willing to die for the meanest, most degraded of your race women merely because she is a Negro woman; To measure the worth of men by their ability and character rather than their clothes and money; To Bid no man go where you won't lead; These are some of the things worth while. 8 THIS paper has pledged itself to deal fair with all men and win.
