THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.45 A WONDER KING MUST HAVE LIVED. This Changes The Thoughts Of The World. (For The Associated Negro Press) CAIRO, EGYPT, Mar. 2, 1923—The remains of King Tut-Ankh-Amen and the greater bulk of the wonderful treasures found in the outer chambers of his tomb will be kept in Egypt. This statement is official and final. Egyptian governmental influences have so decided and it is now clear that none of the foreign influences interested in the recent marvelous discoveries made down beyond Thebes will make any attempt to disregard the wishes of the Egypt-government in this partular. The Egypt of today, by this step, has taken her place again among the nations of the earth. Discoveries Significant. A startling significance has been attached to the discoveries; the relics brought out o f the darkness and seclusion of a longer than three thousand year's entombment are distinctly tropical in character and pronouncedly Negroid in spiritual and physical expression. Elegance, beauty and in opulent warmth, almost vocal in its insistences, are present everywhere about the wonderful tomb. There is no way to determine the values of the collection in pounds or shillings, of in dollars and cents. Their sounder values lie more in what they reveal than in what they represent in motion appraisements. The two royally redecked figures of the ancient ruler standing guard at the entrance to the inner tomb are black of face, flat nosed in the manner of the Bugandans of the lower Nile. There is good reason to believe, in the light of these facts, that the Nordics did not get that far South along the valley of the Nile three thousand or more years ago. --- New Heart For Dark Faces. A new heart and a distinguished tradition have come to the dark races by reason of these latest excavatory discoveries made at the tomb of one of the great Pharoahs of Ancient Egypt. "We must reclaim these ancient splendors of our great races and again take our rightful places among the great, wise, and powerful people of modern times," said an eminent Egyptian gentleman in a private interview last week. There is a fine though non-militant culture here in Egypt. It is romantic in attitude and distinctly profound in philosophic utterance. But above everything else it is proud to a bitterness of feeling that is most intense and pathetically implicable in its hatreds of the "dipoilers of our land." But fresh heart and a practical wisdom is here and it now looks as if this means a new life has come to Egypt. Today's Problems Old. One other thing has been brought to light by these latest excavations and that is that the social problems of today are the same vexing questions of social development which have given worry to men throughout all the ages of human development. The rich and the poor, the great and the near great, the governing and be governed vied, each with the other, for the vantage grounds of life experience and with about the same results that give point and social value to the life of today. King Tut-Ankh-Amen had his troubles setting questions of religion and state as well as his difficulties in making equitable adjustment of the relations obtaining between, in his day, between capital and labor. Indeed new fields of social speculation have suddenly come to view and they may have a quite disturbing effect on the future trends of society throughout the world. White Veil Lifted. The white veil has been lifted. There is no longer any mystery hidden from us of the vaunted possessions of social superiority of the white or "Nordic" social instinct. This means that we are standing at the threshold of a social beginning that will be more worldwide in its scope and, probably, more sound in Recommendations For Spingarn Medal AWARD TO BE SENT TO W. F. WHITE. Recommendations of names for the consideration of the Spingarn Medal Award Committee, of persons of American citizenship and African descent, who distinguished themselves during the year 1922, are to be sent to the Secretary of the Committ e, Walter F. White, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, it was announced today through the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Spingarn Medal will be awarded at the Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Kansas City, the last week in August. The members of the Spingarn Medal Award Committee are: Bishop John Hurst, Chairman: Mr. John Hpe; Dr. James H. Dillard; Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard; Hon. Treodore Roosevelt; Mrs. Dorethy Canfield Fisher and Dr. W. B. Dulois. Salina Kansas News.. Pastor Williams returned home Thursday night, after a visit with his wife in Pittsburg, and other points in the Southeastern part of the State. Sunday's services were as follows: Scripture reading 27th Psalm, prayer by the pastor. Rev, Burnside, pastor of the 2nd Baptist Church at Garnett, Kansas, was then introduced as the speaker of the hour. He spoke out of God's Word from the 1st chapter of Revelations, 5th and 6th verses; using as a subject: "Crown Jesus With Glory." He emphasized the fact that we should strive to glorify Him in our lives and conduct; he also gave three good reasons why we should crown Him:—First, Because He loves us; Second, Because He washed us from our sins with His own blood; and loosed us from the bands of sin; Third, Because He lifted us to a higher standard. It was indeed an inspiring sermon. The Sunday School is showing a marked increase of attendance and is making wonderful progress. Class No. 2, one of the primary classes, taught by Mrs. Winifred Travis, won the banner Sunday with a collection of $15.00. Mrs. Travis and her little tots deserve much credit for the wonderful results of their efforts. The adult class taught by the pastor, is growing rapidly, their slogan for the year is "100 members." A large number were present at the B. Y. P. U.j and a very excellent program was rendered by the "Old Reliable" Section. Rev. Burnside delivered a strong, spiritual sermon in the evening to a full house; taking for his text the 10th verse of the 19th chapter of St. Luke: "For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Rev. Burnside is a strong, Gospel preacher and St. John is glad to welcome such as he, in their midst. Dr. H. H. Wilson left Thursday morning for Raleigh, N. C., to attend the funeral of his father-in-law, Mr. Thomas Adams. Mrs. Wilson, who was called several weeks ago, was there at time of his death. Pastor Williams was very agreeably surprised last Saturday night by a visit from his mother, Mrs. Anna Brown of Chattanogre, Tenn., whom he had not seen for some time. Mrs. Brown will be here for only a few days. Mr. Ted Haynes motored to Hutchinson, Kansas, Saturday, on business. Mrs. Lucv Greene, who was called to Indianapolis, Ind., a few wee's ago, to the bedside of her mother, is home and reports her mother somewhat improved. The Dunbar Athletic Club defeated the Wichita team in a fast Basket Ball game here last Thursday evening, with a score of 12 and 13. They will play a return game in Wichita, March 1st. The Supt., of the S. School, Mr. Howard Browner, who has been down with flu, is reported very much improved at this writing. its philosophic conclusions than of its predecessors. King Tut's return may be fraught with far reaching social inclusions. Who can tell? HE MAKES GOOD. It is not how long you have been at a place, or doing a thing, that counts, but what tangible evidence have you that you ran the business, is the sign of business ability. Mr. Pete Coleman has succeeded along his line and is recognized, as a real business man of the city. He grew in 12 years from a small beginning to a department business of news stand, cold drinks, cigars, restaurant, shoe-shinging parlor, barber shop, employment bureau, real estate agency and billiard parlor. He has just made some very important changes costing about $2000.00, which makes everything stand out as a progressive business. Mr. Coleman's years of business experience, make him mindful of what the public needs and his money goes freely that it can enjoy the necessary comforts and pleasures of life. In order that his friends, customers and the public at ltrge, might see improvements, he had, on Feb. 22, a formal opening, where the public came and enjoyed hospitalities to the extent of ½ barrel of Root Beer and many cases of pop, while the Osborne Orchestra made merry the hearts of many with its sweet strains of music. Now his establishment stands prepared and ready to serve the public from almost any angle of life, when you think of your needs, then think of Mr. Pete Coleman, 533-535 N. Main St., the place of amusement and business. ARE YOU AWARE? A That the times that we are now experiencing are more serious than any other period which we have experienced for many years? However, many of us are heedlessly promenading thru life, apparently not giving a thought to what is going on in their own community. Some people seem to think that they are immune from death. Some people will not get serious about this matter until death comes into their own home and pluck the most admired flower; or, even, until one finds his own frame growing "chilly and cold," he will not cease to cherish the frivolities in which he appears so vitally interested. Since it is true that humanity is rather more careless than careful, thoughtless than thoughtful, foolish than wise, this column desires to have a part in admonishing the people of our vicinity to reverse their view of life, and decide that "it is not all of life to live nor all of death to die," but, beyond that vale of tears there shall have to be a report of the deeds done in and by the body. That the recently organised brotherhood, whose primary object is the four-fold development of the boy-life in the church, is functioning well. The boys are introducing many activities which are not only peculiar in the development of their lives but very material in the future coursing of world activities. Like the "Y" these boys stand for physical culture, literary development, talent finding and guiding. Scientific research, music in its many phases, and any other reasonable and practical means of developing a symetrical life—all thoroughly raturated by the principals of Christianity. What are you doing in your church for the young folks who shall soon either take their places in the affairs of the nation or be relegated to the human junk pile which now stands towering to the skies? It is up to you, who have made the mistakes of life and see them, to make double-quick time in the wise programming for present and coming posterity. That the "Y" and its corp of boy workers stand ready to assist in any way that is in any way that is best for the boy. Must Have Substitute. (By The Associated Negro Press) CLEVELAND, OIIO, Mar. 2. White America is becoming alarmed at the growing religious indifference Colored America long since has called attention to the "religion that falls down at the color line" and the loss of religious grip upon the minds of those who thing for themselves. William Pickens of New York. In a recent magazine story created considerable comment by his bold assertions with reference to many Biblical beliefs. "Many of the older forms of restraint have ..... broken down. The immediate result is a terrible increase in lawlessness and vice and crime," Dr. Ernest Fremont Tittle of Evanston, Ill., one of the most prominent Methodist ministers in the country, declared at the opening session of the sixth annual meeting of the Coundil of Cities of the Methodist Episcopal Church. "The Church must discover a moral substitutne for the old fear of hell and the hope of heaven. I don't mean a moral equivalent, for neither the old fear nor the old hope was morally adequate. Both appealed to selfishness, and selfishness, even when it appeared in the garb of religion, is inadequate. "What is needed is a moral substitute that will furnish to this generation and even greter and far more noble form of restraint. Such a substitute the church has ready to hand in its recovered vision of the kingdom of God. "Many persons today are intellectually lost," Dr. Tittle continued, "They have cut loose from dogmas which they may live hopefully and courageous in such a world as this. "Unless business, industry, and politics can be brought under the law of service, the church should cease this moment to pray for the coming of the 'City of God.' If the church fails to put over this service motive, close your doors and lock up your Bibles." Dr. Tittle's address was in answer to one delivered by Dr. R. W. Sockman of New York City, who dissected the urban mind and its reaction to ancient dogma of the church. The city man is a "lost man;" he is swallowed up in the crowd and lacks the sense of "at homeness" of the man in the country, Mr. Sockman said. A FEW FACTS ABOUT OUR TRIP. A FEW FACTS ABOUT OUR TRIP.

D., was born April 22, 1874 at Pine Grove, Ky., and departed this life Tuesday, Feb. 6, 1923, about 6 p. m. Dr. E. T. Fishback professed a hope in Christ at the age of 12 years, and was baptized by his father, the Rev. Chas. Fishback. He entered the Gospel Ministry about the year 1893. Pastoring his first church at Nebo, Ky., from which he was called to the Corinthian Baptist Church, Frankfort, Ky., where he successfully pastored for 9 years; from there he was called to the New Hope Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas, where he has successfully partored 15 years; during which time The Master through Him has built up a splendid congregation, which very easily ranks as one of the leading churches in the State, both Spiritually and Materially, having recently completed one of the finest church basements in the entire country. Dr. E. T. Fshback was not contrasted to his immature congregation in his his pastoral responsibilities; but his ministerial influence was felt through the length and breadth of Wichita, regardless to races or creeds. He veritably possessed the spirit of his Master, "The Spirit to go about "doing good." He touched the civil life of the city and state and nation in which he lived an prized the right of American citizenship. Dr. E. T. Fishback was the excellent Corresponding Secretry of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Kansas. He attended to this position with dignity to himself and credit to the Convention. This office making him a member of the Executive Bd. at which meetings and similar meetings he was always present except the last one which met in Leavenworth, Kansas, Feb. 7, 8, be'ng prevented by his illness and death. He was also a potent factor in the National Baptist Convention. Organizer and the present president of the Ministerial League. Always presiding with brotherly courtesy, exercising executive ability in its deliberations. Dr. E. T. Fishback's home life was an outstanding feature in his general make-up—affectionate to his family and kind to friends and even to strangers within his gates. He leaves to mourn the r loss: A loving wife, devoted daughter, Miss Medilene Fishback; three sisters: Mrs. Anna Rones, Winchester, Ky.; Mrs. Mary Emma Colmins, Cincinnati, Ohio; Mrs. Sadie White, Pontiac, Much; one brother: Mr. Stanley Fishback, Dayton, Oh'o, and a host of relatives and friends. "Servant of God, well done Rest from thy loved employ, The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Matter's joy. The voice at midnight came, He started up to hear: A mortal arrow pierced his frame, He fell, but felt no fear. His sword was in his hand, Still warm with recent fight; Ready that moment at command, Through rock and steel to smite. His spirit with a bound, Left it incumbering clay; His tent at runset on the ground, A darkened ruin lay. The prins of death are passed, Labor and sorrow cease; And life's long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. Soldier of Christ, well done, Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Savior's joy." RESOLUTIONS FROM STATE CONVENTION Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God in H's All-wise Providence to remove from this life our beloved fellow co-laborer, pastor and corresponding secretary of the Baptist State Convention of Kanats; And, Whereas, we will miss his presence, his wise council, his persevering tenacity in our assemblies; And, Whereas, in his home going we sustain the loss of his fervor, ardent devotion, his enthusiasm that mude Christ conspicuous in him and among us in all of our gatherings; Therefore. Be it resolved that we WEEK OF PRAYER AT KANSAS INDUSTRIAL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE, Beginning Monday night, February 19th, 1923 at 7:00 p. m., in the Chapel of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, Dr. J. H. Garnett, Dean of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary and Chaplain of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, began the week of prayer by a series of meetings, lasting from seven to eight o'clock, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights, the meetings closing Friday night. Dean Garnett was assisted by Dr. W. H. Young, Pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansas. Dr. J. E. Jeltz of Lincoln, Nebraska, an evangelist singer, contributed much to the success of the meetings by his Gospel Songs. Dr. E. W. Perry of Oklahoma City, and President of the Oklahoma Baptist State Convention, who happened to be in Topeka, addressed the meeting Thursday night. The young ministers of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary were on hand and rendered valuable services. Mr. Burke and Mr. Freeman were conspicuous figures in the meetings. Some of the teachers and friends from the outside helped. Principal Bridgeforth was on the scene every night and contributed to the meetings by his presence. At the opening of the meetings it it was found that there were forty boys and twelve girls, who were nonprofessing Christians. Twenty-five of these boys and nine of the girls were converted, making in all thirty-four, leaving fifteen boys and three girls still standing out. The meeting was a great success, for aside from the new recruits, others were revived. Principal Bridgeforth pronounced the meetings the greatest held on the campus since he has been in charge of the Institute. Every body feels happier as a result of the week of prayer. Another Trial, Fair, Very Necessary. (By The Associated Negro Press) LITTLE ROCK, ARK., Mar. 2,—A decision of the United States Supreme Court has remanded the Ela'ms Riot cases and thereby practically reversed the decision of the Supreme Court of Arkansas which has affirmed the decision of a lower state court reached in the trial of the alleged Negro roters. This statement was given to the public last week by State Attorney, General Utler. Moorfield Storey of Boston, Mass., was the attorney of record in the appeal phase of the case. The decision of the Supreme Court is based on the following agreement of the Justices: "The ground for petition for the writ is that the proceedings in the State Court, although a trial in form, were only the pressure of a mob without any regard for the rights and without according to them due process of law." Since the conclusion of the state trial of the all-geged rioters public feeling has somewhat abated here. It is now believed that the men can receive a fairly fair trial. The more sober minded whites are fast coming to the conclusion that the farce trials of Negroes accused of sundry crimes do not redound to the credit or the benefit of the State of Arkansas and that it is now time to call a halt in trit kind of judicial procedure. There is well sustained belief now current that a second trial will result in the acquittal of the accused Negroes. humbly and gratefully bow our heads in humble submission to His inevitable providence Who doeth all things according to the council of His own will. Be it, Further Resolved, that we commend them to God in prayer, especially now and continuously, hereafter; and that a copy of these resolutions be given the family and a copy be entered on our record.

Calicago, Ill., Feb. 23-While spending a short visit in this city last week, Prince Builawa Cotewa commented in part as follows on American ways and moral standards: "I think your American standards of morals are too loose. I have observed this in both races here. Maybe those women you call flappers are responsible. We do not have them in our country. My country is a most as thoroughly civilized as America. Most Zulus go to church on Sunday. And morally they are the finest people in the world. Commercialized vice is unknown. In parts of Africa where such conditions exist, they are the products of the Anglo-Saxon.

At eleven o'clock, the pastor spoke to us from the subject, "Sowing and Reaping." It was indeed a great message, full of truth. At six o'clock the b. Y. P. U., begin its hour with teacher Summers at his post of service. We had such visitors as Mr. Cartwright, Mr. Wilfong, Mr. Evans, of whom we were proud. At 8 o'clock, we listened to a good sermon by Reverend Brother Gardner of Perry, Okla., who came last week to bury his beloved wife. As he goes home to Perry, we can but say, may God bless him. We are getting ready or a soulsaving drive at our church. We ask the prayers of all the Christian family that great good may be done. Come to the rally at 3 p. m. The brethren against the sisters. The brethren say they must have the banner. Hurtahl or the brethren. There will also be a Gospel Sermon by one of the pastors of the city. We extend a cordial welcome to friends and visitors at our church. St. Mary Baptist Notes. Our services were very fair on yesterday, (4th Sunday;) the weather being as it was, and the sickness that is to be found in our Parish. We have about 30 communicants bed confined, but we are trusting in His world: Who said, "Go and I Will Go With You." Our Sunday School is in fair shape thus far; we had more than fifty in Sunday School first Sunday. After the Sunday School, our pastor preached from the subject of the Sunday School lesson; subject: "The Parable of the Pounds." The text, "He that is faithful in that which is least is also in much." Luke 16:10. All enjoyed the sermon. Our B. Y. P. U., session was a joyful one. Mrs. Sims, who is always at her post of duty, launched out as conductor, Prof. Jackson being absent. The subject, M'issionary—Missions and Daily Needs. Mttt. 6:25-31. A large crowd was present. Lesson was reviewed by the pastor. After short song services by the church led by officers, the pastor chose for his text, 14th chapter of St. John and 3rd verse, words: "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also." Subject, "Preparing A Place For A Preparing People." At the close, two came forward for membership, one for baptism and one in view of a letter; w.th th's we will have 27 for the water next Sunday, the Lord willing, at 2:30 p. m., we will be standing at the pool at the Calvary Baptist Church, ready to baptize all who believe in Heaven's God. Our church is growing, gradually, clinging to the Lord. The Scriptural medicine given out by Dr. R. A. Whitaker, during the revival at our church, is helping the patients. Dr. R. A. Whitaker was with us one week, and the Lord blessed us wonderfully.. There were 37 souls added to the church while he was with us. Hq preached us eight good sermons and gave us one of those famous lectures that is his custom to deliver on "The Church and Its officers." Rev. Whitaker is a great speaker—Doctrinal, Logical and he is very frank about all the the says it is worth while any one listening to him. We are are in hopes of having Dr. Whitaker with us again in the near future, whend disadvantages will not be so powerful as they were when he was here. The "Flu" being the greatest. Dr. Whitaker left us Thursday for his home, Tulsa, Okla, where he is in preparation to rebuild one of the finest churches houses in the state for colored churchmen. Its first cost was $85 000.00 and the rebuilt church will cost a $100,000.00. The Lord is with the man and we are confident that he will succeed as it is the Lord's way and He will bring it to pass. Our pastor, Rev. J. E. Douglass, will participate in the anniversary program that will be rendered at the Mt. 71on Baptist Church pastored by Dr. Whitaker, in April 1923.

Bible School opened at 9:45 with a large attusance enrolled. General Topic: "The Parable of the Pounds." It is indeed a pleasure to the Supt., and teachers to see so many bright five boys and girls who seem to be anxious to take a part and to do the best they can to accept the lessons. We have added a Missionary feature to our school; Mr. Flem Fort was elected Missiosary Superintendent, and the children are delighted and anxious to know how they can be little missionaries for God. The lessons are told in pictures and stories. The story Sunday was how one little girl who was well and happy helped a little girl who was cripple to be well and happy. While the story was being told and the picture presented you could hear a pin fall on the floor; we had the direct attention of every child in the house. When we can teach the children to understand and to do mission work, the whole world will be better. Our services were good all day, Sunday. Our pastor being absent, Elder Washington served us at 11:00 a. m., Elder Greene at 8:00. They both give us a lot of good thoughts. We will be glad to have them speak for us at any time. Little Donnie King is not doing so well. Mrs. Clarve of Springfield, Mo., returned home after spending several weeks with her daughter, Mrs. Looney. Mrs. M. Atkins and sister Miss E. Butler are spending the week end with their parents in Wellington. Is Calvary alive? You should come and see for yourself, but for fear that you are waiting for, some one to tell you, we declare unto you that it is rising in the strength of its might and ere long the New Testament will be rightly interpreted to Wichita. The Sunday School with Mrs. Lotta Hayes, as superintendent, is brim full of inspiration, aspiration and information and really an enjoyable place to go; the numbers are growing. Both Junior and Senior Unions are drafting in the latest methods and making it a pleasure to take the Gospel training. If you are in doubt about the Scripture; if you don't know how to work for the Master, and if you want the Master to get the best from your life, meet us at the Unions. Mrs. Jewel Brown with her efficient officers and Mrs. Lillian Williams with the young folks, will find a place for you. If we haven't the best preacher in the city, he is so close to him, until the best doesn't have to look back to see him; and he is now trying to "beat himself." Last Sunday, he reasoned with us on the vital doctrines of the Church; we were glad of the assurance for our faith and weep for those who are not blessed with strong food from God's word.

NO MAN IS FITTED TO LEAD a race towards the high mark of racial success who has not learned the great lesson of "Following the Leader." Those in other words lead best who indicate they know how to follow as well as lead. WITH the proper enforcement of law and stricter applications of Christian education for the youth much will have been accomplished to remove many of the causes to which are attributed the steady growth of radical forces that will if allowed to develop to a much larger extent disrupt the very foundations of progress civilization. S THE ESSENTIAL NEED of the ages has been summed up by different minds from time immemorial but never did master mind better present the need of any age than did Jesus Christ when He bid the world awake and accept the New Birth. "Ye Must Be Born Agan," applies to individuals, races and nations and without such rebirth based upon the sublime teachings of The Christian Religion, the human family is destined to sink down before the ravaging tempest of evil which looms ever larger and larger to the careful observer upon the horizon of the age. Jesus Christ and The Christian Church with The Re-birth or an ultimate reign of crime, woe and sin, backed by all the satanic forces of hell such is the drift of present-day events. THE PLACE OF THE NEGRO in politics, view from many angles, presents a much mooted problem, however, when calmly considered the Negro has but one interest in the political game, and that is first last and alwytys to work for the absolute righteous triumph of those ideas and ideals which will eventually assure for the race emasse in greatest successes in accord with the sublime principles of American citizenship as presented and upheld by the Constitution. The great idea of the Negro voter should be not individual benefit but racial promotion to its place in the affairs of the government justified by its party affiliation and support thru a prepared citizenship. GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY, and thus make certain your blessing which comes out from the Heavens as a reward for Scbbath Observance in accord with the accepted tenets of the Christian conception of Obeying The Commands Of Right! The church demands your presence, Sunday, because it has a world-wide program for the general elevating of the human race; It has a program to fit your individual needs along every avenue of accepted human activity; It comes with the plive branch of peace thru Christ to a sin-sick and war worn world; It bears the dying endorsement of your ancestry; Go to Church and let your presence be entered on the score board of righteousness as one, against, all forms of modern evil and pernicious practices in the country and community. IN SPITE of the general spirit of unrest which has covered the wide earth since the close of the World War, there is to be noted a pressing spirit of evangelism throughout the entire civilized world. Forces of all denominations are pushing forward into the ranks of the masses with a Gospel message, and the Cross of Christ at the high sign of future world-wide brotherliness and concord. It is well that it be so for without the remedy offered to deal the world's ripe wounds and ills by the Christian Evangelical Church there will be no adjustment of world affairs. Law forcement and Observance. The ultimate crushing out of the Juor Traffic, Dope Evil, Immoral trend of sexes and other perplexing ills of the age can only be abated by The Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ presented to the world's masses by the vigorous pioneers of evangelism who know the solution to all evils only in and thus the promulgation of Truth as exem- plified in The Perfect Life of The Christ. WITH the ever increasing number of Colored people who are daily coming into Wichita, and with the added number of unfortunates of the race who eventually find their way into the custody of the City Police Department, it is very apparent that the time has arrived when it would not be amissed for a woman of the race to hold a position to care for the unfortunate girls of the race who are thrown into the city prisons. No candidate or party has a right to ask for the support of the Negro voters, who cannot see that Negroes receive tangible consideration by appointments to positions which the times make right for them in order that the interests of their kind may be better conserved. The political leadership among colored men in Wichita, could prove itself of value by advocating a COLORED POLICE MATRON. Battling and Striving for a certain thing or principle and the race wins. Battling and Striving to arrest the successful progress of another individual and the race loses. In a conserved unity there is strength to secure great things for members of the race in accordance with their abilities and character. THUS, is another fatal blow struck by the land of modern science at the often boasted superiority of the other race. With the recent finding of the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen with its untold buried treasures is brought again forcefully to the mind of the thinker, the fact that thousands of years before the dawn of present day civilization even before the savage tribes of Europe roamed wild over that continent, Black men, in all the unimaginable glories of an ancient civilization were in splendor and magestic supremacy dictating the affairs of the world; Thru the potent sceptre of mighty kings and bettling legions of renowned warriors, impelled by a vast array of intellectuals swayed by the master touch of close contact with the fundamentals of wisdom which now causes the scientific world to stand and ponder. It is such discoveries that justify colored skin races to feel proud of ancestral ties. From Egypt to the darkest regions of Africa is but a step and the world may get rwake to find that out of Africa as come the Christ, so also came the unclean of all things worth-while in the bustling civilization of our day. In Memory of Rev. Elijah T. Fishback Feb. 13, 1923. From Arkansas Valley Lodge, No. 21 A. F. & A. M.: Midst this pall of sorrow that prevails over us today, we bow in humble submission to the will 'of an' All-wise God, who 'has removed from us a great and honored minister of the Gospel, a fellow craftman and esteemed citizen. Rev. E. T. Fishback, who departed this life so suddenly on Tuesday, Feb. 6th, 1923, in the noon-day of a life of Christian activities, and whom we know, by the life he lived among us, is rest to receive the reward of the final faithful: We the Officers and Members of Arkansas Valley Lodge A. F. & A. M. join in deep sympathy with the bereaved widow, daughter and other relatives, his associate clergymen, his church and hosts of near and dear friends who mourn the loss of a noble husband and father, a stalwart preacher of the Gospel and a distinguished fraternal brother of this Lodge and we sincerely hope that in the passing of this noble character his life has left an effective impression upon the hearts and minds of those who knew him best and only to love him. n. a damp, cold atmosphere, doesn't bid fair to help the situation much.

C., Mar. 2,— "King Tut doesn't seem to have been any netrer the ape than Dr. Percy Grant," said William Jennings Bryan in support of his contention that it is dead wrong to believe that man sprang from the worm and monkey. Bryan was jubilant over the discoveries of the body Tut-Ankh-Amen in the depth of his Egyptian tomb. It "Credit as free as water." fixes as a certainty that man was through "evouting" from the monkey stage nearly five thousand years ago, Bryan said. That proven, Bryan feels he has a powerful additional argument to support his anti-Darwian theory. " "It is difficult to draw conclusions until you get all the facts," he said, "but so far the discoveries seem to indicate a highly advanced state of civilization, even at that remote period. There was evidently a belief in immortality—a belief in God. "Now King Tut-Ankh-Amen appears to have been a man and no nearer the monkey stage than Dr. Grant." Here the "great commoner" exhibited the keenest mirth. He took this shot at the evolutionists: "If man came from the ape he must have quit coming before the Egyptian king took the throne. Man seems to have arrived on our earth $z$ good while ago, judging from the fact that his civilization of three thousand years before Christ, was in quite a high statue of progress." Col. Bryan declared that the value of the Egyptian excavations cannot be estimated until they are completed. Then he thinks years of study will be required to extract from the relics of yesterday's civilization, their true meaning; sos fees Essa ia aa sles
