Then the Digest has quoted “both sides, “don’t you sce? But the Digest has not folled anybody. The Digest displays its own real fentiment and character when ft quotes tle folowing from a Texas paper. It is the most savage and de- generate statement we have ever read, The Digest calls it an “optim- istic? southern view of the ten lynch- ings and burnings which Texas stac- ed in three weeks: “Texas his gone amuck, but there js no cause for alarm, The good old Lone Star wil home to itself after a few more burnings at tha etuke, and the customary qu ctness of midsum- mer wit return, Just ay this t'me of year the fires in the city squcres al- ways burn a hittle brighter in Texas, and the suburban trees with over- hanging hmbs always have unp eas- ant duties to perform. Within the next month the number of crimes pun- {shable ty burning tnd hanging will decrease, and Texas will devote itself to business as usual.

FOLLY OF ANCESTORS cone LicuT. | See ee Service) * LITTLE ROCK, ARK. June 23-—In one of the most bitterly contested cases that has ever come before the courts of this state in yeers Jeffesson Black, presumably white, contended that his ch ldren were entit'ed to al the rights and emoluments of the Const:tution of the United States and, therefore, should enjoy the privileges and opportunities guaranteed to American whites, but the Montgom- ery county court said “no.” Black carried the case to the state supreme vourt which uphes the decision of the lower court. . “A person with the slightest trace of Negro blood is a Negro’ regard- less of how closely he resembles n caucasion” so dec ared the courts of Arkansas. The ebove decision was handed down by the Arkansas Su- nreme Court Jast Tuesday in affirming the decision of the Montgomery coun. “ireuit court. The lower court had fssued an order excluding the chil- dren of Jefferson'Black from attend- ance tt one of the white schools om the ground that they were Negroes. The case came before the trial court on B ack's petition when the directors of the school district declared the children to be Negroes and ordered them taken to another school. Evidence vled by the directors was to the effect that the great-grend- mother of the children had been a Negro slave. Back, however, declar- ed that the children had a faint strain of Cherokee Indvan blood in thelr veins, end in his petition stated that “petit’oner’s children, in appearance, show no sign of Negro blood, and fudged from their appearance alone svou'd pass for persons of pure cau- casion bood.” In Mr. Black’s tran- neript of rppcal, filed in the supreme court, appeared pictures of the chil- dren, In affirming the find ng of the low- er court that the children were Ne- groes and the school directors were Justiled in excluding them from the school, the supreme court, comment. fing on the laws interrupting what const‘tutes a person of Negro blood said; “The language is broad, and hes no relation to the degree of blood.” SOUTHERN WHITE BAPTIST DENOUNCE | MOB RULE.

NEW YORK CITY, June 25,—A re- markable dechne in the mortality nf Negroes has taken place in the last ten ycers, according to the records of the Metropol:tan Insurance Company: ‘Th's company has more than 1,600,000 policy holders throughout the’ entire United States, In 1911 the death ra‘y was 17.5 per 1,000 and In 1921 it de- creased to 13.2 per 1,000—e drop of 26 per cent. There would have been 7,000 nore death among Negro poli. cy-holdcrs than actutlly occurred in 1921, if the 1911 death-rate had preveiied in that year, According to the Statistical Bullet’n: “This marked decline, on anclys's can be traced to improvements in the death-rates fiom tuberculosis, pneu- monia, heart discase, Br'wht's dis- case, malaria, typhoid fever, tnd pe - lagra. “The improvement In the mortality of Negroes is not locaized. So far as the experience of the Metropol tan Indicates, it represents a very brord movement affecting virtualy af areas. Scarcely a state but shows a decided decline. “As late as 1916 there were 66 lo- cal areas where the Company's coloz- ed business showed mortality rates above 17.6 per 1,000, The record for 1921 shows only 15 such localities. 1° 1916 there were 30 centers with rate. in excess of 19.0 per 1,000, In 1921 no such rate was exper.enced any: where. It is noteworthy that the pub. he health movement which has been sc successful with reference to the white people {s a so making its impress upo™ the colored. The Negro death-rate however, is still so high as to show glaring deficiences in the health pro: visions for these people, The fact: for the iast ten years show clearl} that the death-rates of this race car readily be Improved. There is all the more necessity for intensification of the services specially spphcable to these peop e, In this connection, much ja promised by the apparent desire af the insurance companies administered by Negroes themselves to lead in the development of public-health work and welfsre services among their own people.” A CALL TO DUTY.

(For June 16th) Mrs. Anna S. Brown, Field Missionary of Western Convention of Baptist Women, also president of Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota Women's Convention, was in Atchison, from Wednesday last through Sunday, the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Roman. Mrs. William Smothers(wife of the late Rev. William Smothers, a former pastor of Liberner Baptist Church) entertained Friday, with a twelve o'clock dinner for Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Roman. Mrs. P. Thomas also entertained with a six o'clock dinner Sunday. While in the city, Mrs Brown was an inspiration to all who heard her. She talked to the Mission Circles of the city Thursday at 3 p. m., at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Subject: For the evening was "What it takes to constitute a Christian worker or a Missionary;—(1) Wise Heads; (2) Attentive ears; (3) New Hearts; (4) Tongues united; (5) Our eyes opened; (6) Render a decision. Each Topic was discussed very effectually and the attention of the hearers was kept throughout the lecture. Mrs. Brown talked Saturday afternoon at the Mt. Olive to the Children of the city. Sunday morning she sang and spoke at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Sunday afternoon she lectured at Zion Baptist Church, subject: "Walking with God." This subject was handled as effectually as the Thursday afternoon subject and that is saying much. Mrs. Brown sang for the evening services at Zion Baptist Church. Rev. Roman, pastor of the Zion Baptist Church har resigned his pastorate to take charge in Eldorado. Rev. Roman came here from Horton, where he had just completed the building of a church. Coming to Atchison, he found a very small membership. This membership has more than doubled under his pastorate and not only the members of his church but of all the churches in the city, regret losing him out of the community. Rev. Roman, during his pastorate, here, also built the present Zion Baptist Church. Rev. Roman worked in co-operation with all churches and pastors while in the city and while we regret his leaving our community very much, we pray the blessings of our Saviour Jesus Christ, be with him in his new field of labor. Visitors who have worshipped at Ebenezer Baptist Church the last two Sundays are as follows: Mrs. Elsie Miller of Emporia; Mrs. W. H. Hudson of Battle Creek, Mich. Mrs. William Sayers of St. Joseph, Mo.; Miss Clyde Phillips of Effing- ham; Mr. Shaffer Land of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. George Mason of Colorado Springs, Colo.; Mrs. Frances Jenkins of St. Joseph; Mr. C.

Mrs. Claiborn is a patient sufferer and is gradually failing. She is a lovely Christian character. The party lasted from 8:00 to 10:00. There were three clubs in Atchison, that federated this year, namely: The Carnation, Eutopia and Sunflower Art Clubs. Mrs. W. M. Jennings and Mr. G. T. Trigs of Horton, spent Sunday in the city. Sunday at the C. M. E. Church, Rev. G. R. Tucker preached both morning and evening service. At 3.00 p. m. Children's Day was observed with a Children's Program. Sunday at Ebenezer, Pastor, Rev. W. C. Cartwright preached an able sermon at the Morning service. Text: John 17:20—"Neither pray I for these alone but for them as so which shall believe on me through their word." Subject: "Praying for unity of the church." This sermon was very instructive and if followed, will do much good. The evening sermon was preached by Father Rev. Stewart. B. Y. P.

June 23.—The Negro residents of southside will take part in the celebraton in connection with the viaduct during carnival week. Dr. Duvall, who has charge of the viaduct celebration, declared last Tuesday night that Negroes of the southside are showing as much if not greater interest in the viaduct celebration than any other persons, and this manifested interest has led the committee to provide an additional day of fete on which Negroes will have entire charge of the program. All the entertainments and amusement features operating during the carnival will be retained for the Negroes. Leaders of the race will probably originate some additional features of their own. Dr. Duval said, "It is gratifying to note the civic pride manifested by the colored people of the southside." Wcihita's Business Inc Res. 1103 Ohio Res., Phone M. 2997W FRED C.

Buter continues to attract the attention of athletic experts by his performances and from all indicat ons he will soon be the center of attention in athletic circles. Buter is after smashing another record in the broad jump and the experts in this part of the country are united in the belief that he can do much better than twenty-three feet and five inches the next time he starts. Sol Butler is regarded as one of the best all-round athlefes of the race and will soon be pitted with that other crack, whom the colored people of America gave to Harvard University —Ned Gourdin. These two boys are shaping up nicely in training and will create some furore at their next appearance, especially if they take the mark at the same time as the white lads would then see in this corb'nation almost no chance for the pale face.

Redic delivered a very able discourse on the power of Christ's Word. This being his first sermon as a local minister here, his subject was well handled and heartily received. Many out of town visitors were present at both services and were welcomed in the name of the church. An interesting feature of the Sunday School and Allen Christian Endeavor was the reports of the young 147 N. MAIN ST.
