THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol.14,No.23 SHALL WICHITA HAVE A NEW "Y?" Big Mass Meeting Held At Calvary Baptist Church. Mr. B. V. Edworthy And Mr. L. A. Black Were Speakers. AND URGE MEN TO BE LOYAL TO THE BOYS. Mr. W. L. Hutcherson came to this city about fifteen months ago and during this time has worked faithfully with the boys and young men of the community. He loves the boys and has endeared himself into their hearts. Comparatively few of the men have given their time and service in interest of the Y. M. C. A. It may be due to the fact that a thorough understanding of the work has not been made clear to them, and for that reason t. scres of lectures have been arranged whereby a greater knowledge of the work can be had, with the hope of stimulating an interest on the part of the men who have not felt the responsibility of the Y. M. C. A., and to renew the interest in the men who are already faithfully working with the boys. The first two lectures of the series were given last Sunday afternoon at the Calvary Baptist Church. A large and appreciative audience listened to Mr. L. A. Black, general secretary of the Central Branch discuss: "The Future of the Work of the Local Y. M. C. A." We had the pleasure of hearing Mr. B. V. Edworthy, Boys' Work Secretary of Kansas, speaking on "Relationships and Responsibilities". Both men spoke creditibly of the work of the colored boys throughout the state and commended the Hi-Y boys of Wihitsi and the executive secretary's work. A plea was made for the men and citizens of this city to carry out their obligations and maintain the confidence of the Central organization. At the same time assuring all that when their whole duty had been performed that a building would be erected for the young men of Wihitsi. The success or failure of which rests wholly upon the shouldering of the individual responsibility of every man in the city. Co-operation is an absolute necessity and the sympathetic state for self preservation has passed. Mr. L. A. Blak, general secretary of the Central Y. M. C. A., was introduced and gave a heart to heart talk on "The Future of the Local Work of Wichita." The future of the Y. M. C. A. depends upon our present leadership. If we are to be assured of a successful victory, we must discharge our duty now. First, what does the Y. M. C. A. mean to Wichita? It is really attempting to carry out a definite program and we are doing some of the things that need to be done with our present limitations. Do not think for once that the work of the Water St. Branch is different or separate from that of the Central, but think of the work as a oneeness. Many do not feel that they are a part of the great whole but something separate—this idea is fundamentally wrong. The work has been divided into groups and section in order to reach all of the boys and young men of the community and all are a part of the great whole. This is the view of the work that must be taken or we will never get anywhere. We have seen the result of the physical and educational activities of the "Y" up our boys and young men and we have proven by our program that much can be done for the neglected men in the offices and shops, who attend our classes after work hours in order to gain a knowledge of which they were deprived in early years. Then we have the boys' work department, and boys who are not members of the Association can come and enjoy the privileges of the Y. M. C. Rev. J. R. Ransom Goes To Topcka. Rev. J. R. Ransom for five years pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church had been assigned to Topeka, by Bishop H. B. Parks at the close of the conference, which convened in Lawrence, last week. It is regretted that Star loses the support of such a strong factor in the community. Rev. King, former pastor of St. Paul, an ardent Christian gentlemen succeeds Rev. Rensom and will occupy the pulpit Sunday morning at eleven o'clock. The Star extends the new assigned pastor a hearty welcome. A. We are also doing something for the young men of the two colleges of the city, and a program has been put on for the delugent boys and young men of the North end. What has been done for the Colorese Pinch you knew should know or should know better than I. You know what effect it has had on the soldier group and the industrial men, who have taken advantage of the privileges recorded them at the "Y." There has been a larger demand on the part of the churches to put on a larger program and when th's is done we will funct'on together on a larger scale. Your Y. M. C. A. has received a budget in proportion as any other Y. M. C. A., and co-operation on your part is vital y essential. You together with the Central organization have assumed a responsibility and each has a work to do and an obligation to meet. The Central organization has already exceeded its promise and gone beyond its quota, while you have fallen short of your pledge and have not raised your quota (a shortage of fifty dollars). Do not expect the association to keep up their end when you continue to lag and fail in your obligations. It is not money so much, but the confidence we must build up in one another. The day passed when you should expect sympathy from the white man. You must first so something for yourselves and shouldler your own responsibilities. Then by your will impress you. Do you will forsake the consideration of the association, and t. y will be more willing to give you. I will agree with you that the Water Street Branch Is inadequate and so is the Central Association. But I would rather have Mr. Hutcherson as a tradequan building than to use a well equipment building and a poor leader. (ag, use) Make the best use of what you have and your opportunities to work. It is the work done in the community that counts. It is not a prime necessity to have a well equipped building, but first prove that you have made the best possible use of what you have and make it unquestionably true that you have actually crowded yourselves out of your building. Prove that you have done all that is possible for you to do, then, ask for a building and you will get it. There is nothing nearly so good as to associate unselfishly and do all you possibly can for the boys and young men of Wichite. The only thing that can vitalize the work is to forget yourself, your home comforts and associate with the boys, know them be deeply interested in them. I commend you for your spendid work." The Junior boys of the triangle club representing the boys of the seventh, eight and ninth grades sang: "The Boyhood of America for The Man of Ghilee," led by Mr. E. M. Barnes, his leader and advisor. Mr. Edworthy, who is loved by all the boys in the state a Kansas product, and who resigned from the work in Texas, because of an attempted limitation in his work for the Colored boys, and accepted the work in Kansas under but one unrestricted condition was introduced by Mr. Hutcherson. He spoke on "State Relationship and Responsibilities." In part Mr. Edworthy said: "It is one thing to pray for the boys and another to put your life into the lives of the boys and help them. He put the woe" of the Y. M. C. A. square.y up [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. THE ABOVE IS THE LIKENESS OF REV. J. P. POWELL OF SHAW MISS. A staunch friend of the Editor of The Negro Star, a race man and an earnest worker. We count Rev. Powell among our best men in racial uplift. He writes: I send this $1 to grease the wheel, and kindly ask you to send me 12 copies of the Negro Star and 5 copies to Rev., J. H. Horton of Earl Arkansas. Rev. Powell recently conducted a revival in Arkansas and many souls were saved. to the men of Wichita, and recited fact after fact, giving reasons why the men and the citizens in general should rally to the support of the local branch. In the most praise worthy manner, the speaker commended the untrurious efforts of Mr. Hutcherson and the men who have so loyally supported him, and took great pride in reading from his dary the names of tre boys of Kansas, who have made good in the Y. M. C. A. work among them were Mr. Earl Bock, Aaron Green of Topeka, and R. B. DeFrantz. He told the interesting story of Aaron Green, when a lad in school." Aaron was not over y brilliant and one morning expressed a fear of not passing the examination, a white girl, had worked the problems and said to him. "Take it is and copy it and you will pass, but Aaron repiled: "I belong to the HI-Y Club, I cannot do that." To day Aaron Green is the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. work at Topeka, and the most potent factor in the community. He was instrumental in the raising of the $2000 budget for the Y. M. C. A. It is the colored Hi-Y boys of Torrka, that set the standard for the boys of the city." Mr. Edworthy compared the life of the boy with great Continental Divide and pointing to the Hi-Y boy, said: "These boys are living monuments of the work of the Y. M. C. A. here in Wichita, and putting his arms about James Taylor he exclaimed: 'You have the most popular boy in the state of Kansas, everybody wants to know about James Taylor and the colored boys of the state. Upon James rests a great responsibility and some day a few years hence his name will be engraved in the Hall of Fame with that of Dougits, Booker T. and the other great leaders of your race.'" Colored Boys Win Athletic Honors The speaker produced the record of the boys' work in camp, which showed that they won more honors than the white boys. The boys have not only been abe' to put on a program but to dignify it. The white people are rallying loyally to the colored boys and enlarging their work program. He spoke of the scarcity of adequate leadership and said competent Mrs. L. J. Vickers Attempts To Double Cross? At the republican county committee meeting last Saturday night six tickets were voted to be alotted to the women of the party to work in the Republican booth at the Wheat Show. One of these tickets was to be given to some colored woman who had faithfully worked with the party, but not particular women was named. The passes were given to Mrs. L. J. Vickers for distribution, and all tickets were distributed Monday, but no coored women was there to represent the party, not withstanding the fact Mrs. Vickers had assured the men that they need not worry that the ticket would be given a colored women. It was not until the committee got straight behind her was the ticket forthcoming. And now the Negro voters are wondering if this was an attempt of the vice chairman, Mrs. Vickers, to double cross and over ride the wishes of the republican committee? Mrs. Copeland and The Hi-Y Quintet Please Singing Big Feature of Political Mrs. Copeland and The Hi-Y Quintet Please Singing Big Feature of Political Meeting. The Republian political meeting held in Cheeny, Kans, last Friday, was a very lively one and was made all the more so by the jubilee singing of the III-Y Quintet, which provoked a round of encores and the melodious singing of Mrs. Copeland. The music simply captivated the audience, and the wife of the mayor of the city bestowed the highest compliment on the sweet singing of Mrs. V. B. Copeland. leadership could be produced from the boys of Wichita. He concluded his address by saying: "You owe it to Mr. Hutcherson, Mr. Back, and myself to support these boys. A great responsibility rest upon you. There are 210% more boys than here are men to handle them. The association lacks funds and is inadequate to 30%. The camp life of your boys was 100%. The acid test of the result if the Y. M. C. A. on the life of the boys 100%, but the acid test shows that 150% are Christian boys and young men. The time has come when we have a responsibility reting on us and we must do for ourselves." 51 The Thirty-first Annual Session of the State Missionary Baptist Convention and Women's Home and Foreign Mission Convention will be held in Bratt, Kans., Oct. 3 to 8th, Second Baptist Church, Rev.

That some of the pupils of our kindergarten are so backward, due to youth and inexperience that Miss Wilson thinks she's running a nursery rather than a school sometimes. That our children are usualy dull because we as a race don't take the time to train them into intelligence or spend any money for educational equipment for their development. You can distinguish from others, children whose parents take time to guide them in proper manners, correct speaking and provide educational outfits for them. There are in the above not only certain fundamental principles of development for the child, the impressions of which must be made in infancy, but there is an immessuerable satisfaction and pride for the parents, especially when they do all within their knowledge, supplimented by others.

The Negro Star Is Supporting the Republican Ticket To The Man. The Negro Star is supporting the republican candidates to the man and shall give each on its moral support.

Attorney for Plaintiff Attest:—(Seal) FRED BURRIS, Clerk of the District Court. The Negro Must Help Himself. The many truths that brought the audience of the Y. M. C. A. Mass Meeting face to face with fact last Sunday afternoon by Mr. Black and Mr. Edworthy are undeniable. Truly the day has passed when the Negro can hope to get anywhere on sympathy. The World owes you nothing, because you happened to be borned a Negro but it is willing for you to make a place for yoursef and those that are to come after you. The thinking Negro knows and does not ask for sympathy—He does not writ it and is becoming impatient with those of the race who do. Prayers and sympathy yell'd no profitable results. Work and prayer harvest the golden grain. If we are to gain and maintain the respect of the white race we must prove that the rich, red, potent blood is in our veins and that we are capable of producing and achieving results. If Wichita is to have a modern equipped Y. M. C. A., replace the present inadequate one then the Negroes of Wichita must convince the Central Y. M. C. A. and National Headquarters that we need one. This means work tireless work. Mr. John Dixon Win Second Prize At Fair. Mr. John Dixon, 1020 South Mead, won second prize at the Hutchison Fair, last Wednesday in the beauty horse contest.

These are the him as he in playful words teaches mighty problems. VAIN words are not enough the days is at hand when the race is going to force a show down on many of the promises which have been made to it in order to secure its pato it in order to secure its patronage in promoting others up the ladder of tronage in promoting others up the ladder of political success. No organization the Christian Church not excepted can ever hope to elevate the masses of any race until it stands out boldly in defence of policies which fully recognize rectitude within its inner circles and positive leaders whose lives are in absolute harmony with the ordinary procedure of those ethical forces which derive their inspiration from the program of CHRIST. The time is shortly coming when it will be enough for radical leaders to tell a thinking mass, "Crede quod habes, et habes" but by systematic investigation that mass is going to arrive at facts for itself and sound the death knell of factional circles, inside cliques and hypocritical individuals who love individual honor and fame more than a combined racial success and seek the race in its civic, social and the race in its civic, social, fraternal fraternal to promote scheming classes within a religious circles rather than in the overalls and Mary in the wash tub are going to actively participate indetermining some of the affairs of their race. READ a Negro Newspaper it is not a matter of who the Editor or staff may be but a matter of getting the TRUTHS concealing the progress of a winning race. Support the teachers of the race they are putting the young Negro on the path to racial success .thru .KNOWLEDGE and fitting them to fight the battles in which WISDOM alone will come off of the field with the oaken leaves of victory. Support and rally to the Gospel of Christ and the Christian Church as they are the pillars of Christian Civilization. What is the use of cursing a blue streak if things don't go your way the use of profane language whether coming from the mouth of an organization leader or gutter drunkard is a sure evidence of moral turpitude the result of a lack of ordinary forethought and social appreciation of the feelings of his fellowmen. The man who curses leaves no lasting impressions in a conversation held with a present day thinker. With several or- DON'T argue rather listen and act when you are ready to shoot; seek the good in the other fellow, his evils may recall to mind some of your own; Win a fight by fair measures and never crush the loser every fellow has a chance to lose; Use a gun rather than your tongue to kill the other fellow the little sting in your tongue has power to kill a soul, it is a dangerous weapon; used only by cowards. jealousy and desires for personal honta consisting of civic and religious bodies there is no reason why the negroes of the city ought not to have representation on the Board of the Wichita Council of Social Agencies which is to have charge of the Community Chest Drive. With the Wichita Co.ored Baptist Women's Missionary Union; Wichita Federation of Colored Women's Missionary Union; Wichita Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; Water Street Y.M.C.A. Federated Methodist Missionary Society and other semilar organization as they would be if a few of the Negro leaders would forget personal or long enough to seek for their race those things which but await it when true leadership advances and presents in the proper light the cause of the race. Let the race awake to the great idea of watching for the opportunity produce ability and character as the base of our demand and a united non-racial claim for proper consideration where the interests of-the dictates representation. THE Young Men's Christian Association gives to a community more in strong well developed manhood than all the ball parks, social resorts and other attractions of a community can every present to the Race or community. Douglas, Washington, Col. Charles Young, E. C. Morris, and other great men living and dead who have made history for the race were not produced by Ball Parks, Phol Ha'ls; Dancing Dives and other similar resorts which have the audacity to dare advance the proposition that they are directly or indirectly beneficial to the interests of a struggling race. Beware of that community influence which draws men and women together without a single challenge as to their moral and social fitness. True the white race does not make a minute exception yet we are members of a coming race going forth into a new civilization not a passing race moving out from the whirl of world control with a tottering civilization declining under the influence of racial evil. Let the Negroes beware how they support community influences less we support the wrecker of individual character, destroying power of modern society and damning influence of the age which comes into our midst in disguise as a race promoter. which during last winter ministered to the needs of many suffering people of the race and of the other race as well it is not indicative of the high spirit of Christian forethought and that great inter-racial spirit of Christian Brotherhood which was characterized Wichita for any force which is dependent upon the charitable inclination of the General Public even if the amount advanced would be a mere pittance on the part of the Colored Race to take the attitude that representation for the Negroes is not essential since other bodies are not to be represented. It is true that other organizations may not be represented. The Negroes of Wichita have both able men and women devoted Christians, master scholars and with charitable hearts big and broad ever ready to minister in the name of Christ to the suffering masses of a progressive metropolis, and it is fitting that they be represented on a committee that proposes to make collections for charity and then decided how the amount raised is to be proportioned among the several charities of the city.
