DR. ELIAS CAMP MORRIS IS NO MORE. (Special Star Correspondent.) There was a Door to which I found no Key There was a Veil thru which I might not see; Some little talk a while of Me and Thee There was—and then no more of Thee and me. The passing of the Late Ellias Camp Morris, is but the common fate of all. His death ends the activities and life of usefulness, but his soul lives on The achievements of this great Christian warrior met God's approval, and when men became disobedient God took h's servant home. He who walks thru life with an even temper and gentle patient, patient with himself, patient with others, with difficulties and with crosses, he has every day keenness beyond that which is won in battle or lhantd in cathedrals and ....The impressive funeral services held for the great head of the National Baptist Convention was the most solemn ceremony ever witnessed in the State of Arkansas, and the homage paid to all that was left of him was but on outward token that we loved him well.

Washington was at his post, brim full of interesting idets for the future development of the school. We are becoming acquainted with our Fall and Winter obligations. The Message of Mclachi with Golden Text: "Return unto me and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of host, Mal. 3:7. Will a man rob God? Was one of the chief consideration. We saw also that the book of Malachi is prc-eminently a book for our own times. And that it is God's orders that ye bring all the tithes in the store house of the Lord. At 11:30 a.m., our pastor, Rev. Douglas preached from Ps. 125:1; Subject: "The security of the faithful." He compared that the mountains that incarred Jerusalem was for its protection, to the Christian Church of God as our protection as long as we do His will. Our B. Y. P. U. session was full of interest with Prof. J. A. Jackson, captain, presiding. The lesson taught us the necessity of knowing God's word, because it will preserve us from sin.

Ministers Commend Work and Stand For a Righteous Cause. Rev. J. R. Ransom for five years pastor of the St. Paul Church, preached his last sermon of the conference year last Sunday night. A large audience greeted him, and to say good bye. Because of the broadness and big heartedness of Rev. Ransom for the people of this city he has enlearingly been called the pastor of the people. Men of all walkers of life hold Rev. Rersom in the highest esteem, because of the high ideals he represented. His work I care in this community speaks for itself and should he be sent to anthem field of labor his work will follow him and should he return—and this is possible, he can then complete the work he had begun for the political, social, moral and spiritual upift of this city. Dr. Ronsom spoke from the subject: "Identified with Christ and thru out his sermon. He showed a keen interest in the welfare of the young men of Wichita. He said, "he wished it was possible for him to remain here long enough to see a Y. M. C. A. erected, fully equipped and with a corp. to Y. M. C. A. program carried out each Sunday and then he would like to see and to know what influence such an inst.tution would have over the young men of this city. A reception was tendered the pastor on Monday evening in the auditorium. Rev. J. W. Hayes, pastor, of Calvary Baptist, Rev. E. T. Fishback of New Hope and Rev. H. H. Edmonds of St. Matthews were guests of honor and spoke commendably of the splendid work accomplished by Rev. Ransom, and each expressed a desire that he would be seturned. The Sunday School and auxiliaries of the church read resolution commending him as their beloved pastor, a Christian and advisor. Many expressions of good will and good cheer were received by the retiring pastor. Rev. Kannavaona of The Star and Beacon daily, commended the work of Dr. Ransom in the racial development of his people. Mrs. Winston sang by request, and the choir rendered the music for the evening. Reschechments were server after the program. Rev. Ransom left Tuesday for Lawrence, where the annual conference is convening this week and carried with the prayers and good will. of his many friends and admirers. The Star predicts his return and should he return, The Star, is with him in his every effort to lift higher the Standard of man and womanhood of Wichita. By a unanimous vote the church authorized Rev. Ransom to invite the conference to Wichita for its next session in 1923. Bishop Sampson Brooks To Be Guest of The St. Paul And The Y. M. C.

Dr. Edward T. Devine, Dr. Philip P. Jacobs and Other Noted White Educators and Leaders present. Mr. W. L. Hutcherson, executive secretary of the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A. addressed the Twenty-third Annual Conference of Social Workers now convening at Central Christian Church of this city on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Hutcherson is the distinction of being the only Igno speaker or representative to his meeting. Dr. Edward T. Devine of New York formerly secretary of New York Charity Organization Society and professors of social economy, Columbia University and often called the "Dean of Social Work in America, and Dr. Bhillip P. Jacob, Ph. D., representing the National Tuberculosis Association and many other noted men and women were visitors at this meeting. A small number of Colored citizens took advantage of this conference. Mr. Hutcherson received the hearty support of Dr. Ross Sanderson and the Y. M. C. A. secretaries, and Wichita feels proud of Mr. Hutcherson as an ideal young leader. The following is an extract from the address delivered by Mr. W. L. Hutcherson, secretary of the Water Street Branch of Y. M. C. A.: "The Common Social Task Of The Negro and White American." It is indeed a source of pleasure to me, to have been invited to speak to this great conference. It is also a pleasure to know that you are considering the needs of the Negro along with the needs of the other races. Truly, we are a young race a trifle over fifty years old. We came to this country at your invitation. It was a little strenuous, but we accepted it and we are both here to stay. I believe all that has gone before was in the plan of the Almighty God, and for that reason the Negro and the white race are inseperable and must live and work together. This being true the Negro has a definite contribution to make to the world socially, religiously, morally and economically. Since the Civil War, there has been a continual migration of the Negro, northward and westward, due to many causes. First, there was a general unrest on the part of the Negro of the southland. Being human, he sought more congenial environments, low wages, poor housing condition and lack of educational advantages. the Negro press of the North and the scarcity of labor and last of all, the invitation from the white man himself has caused the steady influx of the race to a land of more equal opportunity and self development. The Negro churches are the Negro's greatest means for development and recognition and there is no Christian agency that has meant more toward the moral, religious and spiritual development of our people than the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. and the influence of these institutions brought to bear in the communities are positive proofs that they are the greatest assist toward the development of our race. I repeat, the social task of the Negro and the White Americans, is a common one. Illiteracy, immorality, ynching, law breaking and violence is the out growthe of illiteracy and lack of culture on the part of the white man and the retaliation of the Negro is only a reaction of his part for the abuses received at the door of his white neighbor. There should be and can be a social program that will include better housing for Negroes and I believe that Christian white real estate men can be influenced to build modern homes to rent and sell to Negroes and by so doing the general health of the Negro would be better and the death mortality lowered. I recommend, that Negro physicians be encouraged to locate in a community of five hundred Negro inhabitants. Clean up campaigns have had a tremendous benring on Negroes and should be encouraged. PRICE, FIVE CENTS The National Baptist Convention To Convene In St. Louis, Mo. Selma, Alabama, Sept. 15th, 1922. To the Baptist Churches thru out the Country: Dear Brethren: At a meeting of the Executive Board held in Helena, Arknasas, Tuesday, September 12th, it was decided to hold the 42nd Annual Session of the National Baptist Convention in St. Louis, Missouri, December 6-11, 1922. This action was based on the importance of holding a meeting this year, and the distance of travel, the rates and hazardous times for a trip to be made to California. St. Louis being more centrally located the committee is of the opinion that a better delegation can be had at that season of the year. By order of the Board. W. G. Parks, President, R. B. Hudson, Secretary Y.M.C.A. A Fellowship meeting was conducted on last Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. and our hearts felt the presence of the Holy Spirit as we talked over the needs of the work to one another and then to God about the work. We ask Him to take the lead. Tuesday night meeting was held by Employed Boys' Club. They elected Wendali Van Leu, president and Mr. John D. Jones, advisor. We think they are find choses? The Triangle Club composed of boys of the 7th to 9th grades held a splendid meeting on Wednesday night. Much good is expected to be the outcome of each and every meeting of each individual Club. Each member striving to do his best to put over their respective program. Big Brotherhood Meeting to be held Sunday at Celvary Baptist Church. Will you be present? Something might be said that will give you a thought end by making that thought a reality your own son or someone's son might be saved from the vise that abides in and around the city. It is your duty to your community, to your son and to the sons of Wichita to attend this meeting. We expect to see you there. The speakers for the day will be Messrs L. A. Black and D. V. Edworthy. Come out and hear them, encourage them to come again by letting them talk to a crowded house. District Moderator Visits City. Rev. J. C. Rodgers of Hutchinson, and Moderator of the Southwest District for the past eleven year, was in the city, paying the local ministers and churches a visit. He is a wonderful character, his smiling face and his congenial nature make him loved by all throughout the district. He preached at Calvary Baptist Church on last Sunday evening. Negroes are naturally musical and life recreation and amusement. Whole some recreation and amusement centers should be included in the soof my race, who are capable of taking on and appreciating, art, grand opera and drama, but the door of the first class opera houses are closed to them or they are humiliated and intimidated by segregation. These that are open to them are of an inferior standard the moral influence badly. For this reason some of the large cities have provided recreation and amusement centers, but these are few in numbers. The community centers during the war proved effective upon the social and moral life of the Negro and was convincing that such forces tend to develop many of the latent possibilities of the race morally and socially. Recreation amusement centers and gymnasiums for Negroes should be included in the program of Social Workers. Truly social workers are not responsible for the educational facilities but permit me to say that 'go to school and go to College campaigns should be provided for the Negro boys and girls.' Last no social program will be complete that does not included the Negro. Junction City News. The members of the Second Baptist Church, wish to extend their heart-selt sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. R. L.

West, principal of L'Ovature and a efficient corp of teachers in the Intermediate School, have settled down to real work and all Wichita can feel justly proud of the past record of Prof. West. More than this every parent and citizen owe the principal and teachers of this school your greatest co-operation. This intermediate school is unexceled by any in this state. Very few eastern cities have latter intermediate. The preparatory work of the intermediate school, enables the pupils to enter High School much stronger than the average grade student, and they more easily meet the requirement for entrance to the State Universities. We are proud of our school, encourage the children, co operate with the teachers and they will in return give back to you a three fold reward. The Star is with the public schools. Dodge City Notes. Special to The Negro Star; The object in sending these notes, to be published is not for the purpose of publicity, notority or to retain our place on the map of Kansas; but to touch on some of the very important, current events of the day and hour, that are so rapidly transpiring all around us, which causes the old middle aged and young, as well as the best educated scholars, the theologians, journalist and the philosophers to sit up and take notice. First of all, we are changing dispensations from a new era to a real Christian one and the entire world of mankind is seeing and feeling the shock out of the collapse must come a more pure, honest and transparent Christianity and brotherhood of man. To reconstruit such, the present and future needrs must be endowed with more than natural talents, but power from on High and possessed with the true spirit, which factuated our blessed Master, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, regardless of nationality, race color or conditions. From this on God will, marshall the forces and see to it that all will have a square deal in the race of life. Please to say that mighty pulpit power and invincible evangelist John Edward Brown, who shook Hutchinson, last Winter, is now operating in Dodgt City, in a specially built Tabernacle by free labor and 2,500 people to greet him in the opening services last Sunday 17th and a chorus of singers more than 150. The Colored present were only 14, a small representation for the over 300 of them in this city. A premature fright went out that the Negro would be segregated at the meeting. The Writer of this article was there and he, is not wise as King Solomon or a fool, and when he saw the little hand full of Negroes sitting in the very front and whites also the same and the card "Reserved Seats." where we were expected to be; the occupants of, in common with other delegated bodies of churches, and the same hand of John Brown casped the black hand as well as the white saying especially to the colored: "You all ook good to me," and he hailing from Arkansas. We are at a loss to say more than: The Devil in the Negroes as well as the white people's heart must be cleansed out by the power of God. Why the Negro will submit to segregation in movies and every other place and then kick on an honest effort put forth by Christians to lessen these evils is a stunter to me. John Brown's sermon Sunday night on "Killing Lions" Judges 14th chapter could be applied to some of our race. The Llons to be killed he said is first; "Fault finding; second man fear; third, Selfishness; fourth, independence and so on, I would add 'ignorance.' How can Christianity segregate, when both sides have not enough of it to treat God's created as being equal in humanity, not speaking of Christianity. Rev. E. J. Ma'one, pastor of the A. M. E.

WHEAT SHOW GETS FOREIGN EXHIBITS Mexican and Canadian Displays Are Being Prepared for Fall Show As the entries come in for the International Wheat and Farm Products Products Exposition, which will be held in Wichita from September 27 to October 7, the shows seems to be already asserting the new character of its name. One foreign country is practically certain to send a large exhibit, and a province of another nation has applied for exhibitor's space Mexico has virtually agreed to send an extensive display, through her consul in Kansas City. This will practically be an exposition in itself, if the original plans are carried out. The fine woods produced by Mervico will be featured, although there will be large exhibits of the industrial, mineral, and agricultural products of the country. The province of Alberta, Canada, has applied for space through her commissioner of agriculture, and plans to send a large exhibit of soil and mineral products. This is expected to be a very elaborate display, and will take the place of the Canadian national exhibit, which cannot come, due to conflicting dates. It is also probable that the state of Montana will send an exhibit, according to recent advice. HOME OF THE WHEAT SHOW WICHITA KANSAS Educational Entertaining WICHITA The largest Indoor Four in the world The International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition will be held in Wichita from September 25 to October 7 in the Forum one of the largest municipally owned buildings in the United States. The structure was especially built to house fairs and expositions hein gprovided with large expositions, being provided with large centrally located building of re-enforced concrete and brick construction throughout. The entire main floor of the Exposition Building will be given over to the Agriculture and industrial exhibits. The second floor will be taken up by A Vision of Sou INTERNATIONAL WHEAT and FARM Educational WICHITA SEPT. 25 to OCT. 7 NO GAMBLING No Games of Chance To Be Allowed at Wheat Show Visitors to the International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition at Wichita, September 25 to October 7, will have their purses protected from the wiles of the concessionaire with the wheel of fortune. There won't be any wheel. "There will be no room for gambling devices of any sort", announces Florace S. Ensgn, manager of the show "Nor will any other unfair way of getting the money of the sightreer be tolerated." Legitimate tests of skill will be allowed however. The old familiar rag babies will remain, as will the shooting galleries, and the ring-the-pin. For these can not be "fixed". One of the big features at the International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition to be held in Wichita from September 25 to October 7 will be the free theater. The Arenaia. In this theatert there will be a continuous entertainment, polite vaudeville, moving pictures released by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and by the War Department, and a fashion show conducted by the merchants of the Southwest. There will no charges, either to get in or to get out. All on will have to do will be to do walk in and sit down. 1922 WHEAT SHOW GIVEN NEW NAME Policies of International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition Changed Too The yearly wheat and soil products, classic that has been held for years in Wichita has been re-christened. The great farm show is henceforth to be known as the International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition, and will be held this year, as always, in Wichita, and will continue from September 25 to October 7. This change in name was brought about as a result of a change in policies of the show. The directors conceived the dream of making the Southwest and its agriculture better and better than ever. This called for the making of the show a more distinctly agricultural exhibition than ever before. Then there was the task of creating a title to express the dignity and breadth of this vision of Southwest agriculture. The result was the name given above—the International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition. Although this annual fair of the southwest and the world now bears a more apt and fitting name than before, it will still be known familiarly, as it has been for years, as the "Wheat Show". --- the radio and electric household exhibits. On this floor also is the Arcadia Theater, seating two thousand where there will be a continuous free that are expected to the Wheat Show for visitors to the exposition. The main floor also accommodates a mammoth Hippopotamus, with a seating capacity of six thousand. The upper floors will be used for the various domestic science departments the mothers' department and the children's play room. There will be room for thousands of feet of exhibitors' space, and plenty left to accommodate the many visitors Northwest Agriculture PRODUCTS EXPOSITION Entertaining The largest Indoor Fair in the world COUNTIES HASTEN TO OBTAIN SPACE FOR WHEAT SHOW More Entries Now Than Year Ago With Show Weeks Off EXHIBITORS SCATTERED There are already more countie signed up to exhibit their soil pro ducts at the International Wheat an Farm Products Exposition, to be held in Wichita September 25 to October than there were entered two weeks before the show opened last year. Although the exposition is still severa weeks off yet, many agents have al ready begun assembling their exhibits The applications for exhibitors space have come from twelve silvergent points in the state, and from the extreme East and West. This seems to indicate that the sol products of the state will be well exhibited. This interest is probably due to the fact that the management is trying to make this year's International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition more distinctly agriculture than ever before. At the rate that entries are being made, it would seem that every county in Kansas will have entered by the time the show is formally opened. County agents in every part of the S W have informed Horace S Ensign, manager that they wish to cooperate with him in every way that they can. Many have promised han cah bits that will surpass anything that has ever appeared within the walls of the Wheat Show in the past THE INTERNATIONAL WHEAT AND FARM PRODUCTS EXPOSITION The world's greatest grain show will all Indiana-on-road board will a crown of the complete agricultural program of the Six threes.

ENSHM, Masoner WICHITA, KANSAS SEPT 25 OCT 7 --- RADIO DOWN ON THE FARM SOOK BOSSY! CORE BOY! PIGGY! SHEEPDY! SHEEPDY! SHEEPDY! Now that everybody, old and young has taken to decorating the house-tops with weird contraptions of wood and wire, and causing their necks to settle in their foundations under the weight of headphones, there seems to have come a new answer to an old problem how to keep 'em down on the farm. All of which will be explained at the International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition to be held in Wichita from September 25 to October 7. The popularization of radio has finished what the Ford and the phonograph started for the farmer, and has long a lot that they could not even begin. It may be likened to a superperiodical, a concise ball, and a university, it gives the latest news and brings to everyone the voices of the greatest thinkers, scholars, and singers of the day.

Every crop that is acclimated to this portion of the country will be shown at the show, with a view to making them larger and better. The Southeast has many distinctive crops, that many people unfamiliar with the region know nothing about, although they are of equal value with --- I gets the news of the latest acrobatics of wheat prices; Ma learns how to make the new rutabaga fritters; Bid finds out that the Sox are still lining along; and Sis gets Polly Persimmon's latest done on the Heart. And before long they'll be calling the stock by radio, or be bulling them to sleep with "I'm a Jazz Baby." For new improvements are being made in the field every day. They are even considering killing files with the magic Hertzian wave, and Signor Marcori, who made radio what it is, now shooting radio waves in whatever direction he wills, as from a gun. These wonders are many more will be exhibited at the Wheat Show, as a part of the district conventions of the American Radio League and the Kansas Radio League.

Boys and girls are coming into their own at the Wheat Show this year. ```markdown ``` any produced in the United States. It people can be shown this, a great wave of immigration can be directed to this part of the nation. Accordingly grain sorghums and almilas products of the soil will be stressed. And methods of semi-arid farming will be demonstrated. But above all, kafir, sudan grass, and feterita; alfalfa fruits; farm vegetables; and even the humble sugar beet will be given the prominence that they deserve at the Wheat Show. Horace S. Ensign to Direct Destinies of Full Classic HIGHLY RECOMMENDED One of the greatest problems connected with the runnings of a fair or exposition is the choice of a capable and dependable manager. For that reason the directors of the international Wheat and Farm Products Exposition, to be held in Wichita from September 25 to October 7, had to be very careful and painstaking in their choice. They spent a great deal of time considering the men eligible for the position. At last they were fortunate in procuring the services of Horace S. Ensign, of Utah and Montana a man of wide experience in the handling of fairs and expositions. He was manager of the Utah State Fair for eleven years, and of the Montana State Fair for four years. His fifteen years experience in the field make him an expert in all the phases of agricultural work. He is also a keen student of all farm problems and the industrial tendencies of the day. ```markdown ``` Horace S. Ensign And he is a real "drt" farmer. He may be said to know farming from the ground up. He is especially interested in the agriculture of the West, and the Southwest in particular. He is eager to show it to others, and to forward it in every way possible. His practical knowledge of the farmers problems and his experiences in exhibitions make him a man enormously qualified to manage such a gigantic undertaking as the International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition. Mr. Ensign is also a man of engaging personality. Like most big men he is joyful and good natured and has the gift of making many friends. And he is a man of impeccable character. The governors of Utah and Montana were both enthusiastic in recommending him. J. David Larson secretary of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, says of Mr. Ensign: "I cannot recommend Mr. Ensign too highly. He knows state fair and exposition work thoroughly. He has been in it for years and has a very good reputation. Besides his executive ability, he has the faculty of making friends, and his integrity is beyond reproach." WHEAT SHOW TO BOOST SOUTHWEST Land Colonization is Keynote of International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition The Southwest is to come to her greater self, according to the plans of the directors of the International Wheat and Farm Products Exposition which will be held in Wichita, September 25 to October 7. It is their belief that circumstances pre such, at present, that all that is needed to bring a great wave of colonists to this part of the country is competent and thorough advertising. The country is just coming out of a period of business depression, which indicates a time for immigration to the less settled and cheaper lands. Experience has proved this. There was a great title of settlers to the land of the Northwest following the pane of 1003. It seems only obvious that the time is ripe for another such occurrence. Farmers cannot afford to raise forty cent corn on four hundred dollar land, or at least do not prefer to. The natural thing for them to do is to rack cheaper but equally productive farm property. The Omaha Land Show, hd in 1903 was very instrumental in the people of the northwest states. It fact, that was it purpose. So the International Wheat and Farm Products Depot has been conceived with the same des—to bring farmers to its tribetary territory. There will be exhibits of the characteristic crops of the settler of the country. And the distinctive methods of agriculture that are needed to raise these crops successfully will be exhibited. The most convincing exhibits possible will show every phase of southwestern agriculture, what it is and what it shall be. Ice Cream - THE - VELVETY KIND.

THAT political leader who dares approach the Race and bid for its vote to be cast for a Democratic Candidate for any office ought at least to be able to exhibit to the Colored Voter something that the Democratic Party has accomplished in the interests of the Negro Race. As a race of people our struggles have been far too bitter in the past in racial struggles to gain the full status of American Citizenship; A struggle in which the Democratic Party has played no part other than one of absolute obstruction and oppression for Gentlemen to rise at this late day and bid that the Negro vote goto that party before it first sets forth proof of its change of heart towards the race and its future success in the political world which is certain as the silvery dew kissed by a rosy sun in the tempting breeze of a Summer morn. Within the last sixty years not a single measure has passed the United State Congress in the least iota favorable to Negro Voters that received ten percent of the votes of Democratic members of Congress. Not a Democratic Legis ature in the South has every made a move to assure to the Negro Voters of the South a free and unchallenged RIGHT to walk up to the polls in the spirit of AMERICANISM and cast a vote that would be honestly counted; not a single Democratic in the history of the party organization has ever appeared in the political arena with a chalenge to his party to apply its boasted principles of JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACY to the Negro as well as to the white American; Not a single Negro has ever sit in a Legislative Hall of the United States who was elected on a Democratic Ticket; Not a single legislature of the United States control by a Democratic Majority has ever passed a measure beneficial to the Negro Voter; Democratic favors to the race have come where the issue was one measly of WARD POLITICS and the end of some salish individual OPEN door diplomacy in Church and organizational work that will tend to destroy every vestige of deceit and modernized clanish efforts of selfish individuals to the end that ignorance is promoted over intelligence; Rank and social standing over horse sense and character; Petty forces erected by purchased cliques over common honesty and racial interests just so long are troubles to rise from within the race unfitting it to face the issues that must arise from without racial circles.
