That altho.the cold wave we ex- perienced last Sunday was one of the most severe of meny years, {t was n-t cold enough to make the low stocs grow higher?

That a performer must sooner or Jater learn that because he gets an encore he is not always pleasing the audience? There sre thiee reasons which actuate the applause of an audience: one is, they are so satisfied with the rendition that they desire it repected or want to hear another number; another reason is, they are trying to encourage the performer, and tho third is, just because of a force of habit. The latter reason ek- taates more encores than any of the others, That Miss Ba.ley will have lost ev- ery “bit” of the timidity, with which she was imbued, ere enother summer arrives? 7 That the two little pieces of human organ'sms who are so well handling the Wabash Avenue Studio of Music, form a very unique comb.nction of musie teachers? ‘That the one who “hollers” Ja the one who is hit?

Not only ia mute adequate pol.ce protection needed for that sect.on, but better water facil- itis, proper sewerage provisions, vest park improvements, ‘more close at- tention to the cutting of weeds during summer season, and better lighting for the var.ous strecta. If after supporting and materially aiding in the welection and elect on of members of the city commission, these considerstions wiich are vital and important cannot be obtained for the North section of Wichita, some- thing Ss radically wrong in the circle of “higher ups,” and the colored vot- ers are therefore morally and polit- ically obl.gated to go to the polls de- termined ti plece in position ony those factors who apparently, are most favorably inclined towards the proper movements of the city com- mission which will assure to the cite fzens of the North end such nee-ful improvements, Then too the time is well at hand when a colored police woman will not be out-of place, end with the growing colored population, additional policemen of the race are an cesential factor to have considera. tion at the hehd of the next board of city commissioners, To elect men to office who will not give such matters fair consideration, is a political blunder and absolutely opposéd to the best interests of the, race, Hence, {n the approaching, election, tt would be well that colored voters stop and think twice before cest.ng a'ballot to elect men to a commission which will be the determ- ining force relatve to such improve- ments and consideration as have been mentioned. This is practically a non-partean elcetion with party line not drawn, ELECT TO OFFICE ONLY THOSE MEN WHO ARE IN- CLINED TO GIVE ATTENTION to the needs of the less fortunately lo- celted cilizens of Wichita, Not all of Wichita, is located on College Hill, and no persons ought to be elected to membership on the city commission who cannot see Wichita from any point of view but College Hull, Messrs: Carlton, Litt'e and Witt have positively declared that if elect- ed to the city commission, they will give und.vided attention to the many problems of government involving the city, end strive to make all need- ed concessions for the better govern- ment of the North end. The Negro Star‘ presents the above named men for consideration at the hand of the Negro voters in the approaching primary and spring election. Their election is asked in accordance with their expressed inclinations to serve the entire city if clected. If they fal in the least fota of measuring within tre bounds of expectation if success- ful in the pr'mary end Spring Eles- tion, MAKE THEM ONE TERM MEN, and continue to vote for the best interests of the race until ell candidates who solicit the patronage of the race definitely learn that w:th the Negro of this day a successful election does not release from pre- election expectat’ons roused by am- bitious candidates, enjoyed. 8:30, he read 15th Psalm; Rom. 8:1-6, Another excellent sermon was teard.

This wonderful musical production registered an emphatic hit and record run of two years at the Sixtythird Street Music Hall, New York, during which time it called forth such a wealth of unstated praise from all the famous New York dramatic critics, that there came a heavy demand Salina Kansas News. A goodly number of faithful Christians braved the storm Sunday morning and came out to the house of the Lord, where they were privileged to hear a strong Gospel sermon delivered by Pastor Williams. He selected as a text, Luke 24:49, "And behold I send the promise of my Father upon you, but tairy ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endowed with power from on high." Subject: "Power From God." We are endued with scientific power, intellectual power, and all other great powers of this world, but are lacking in spiritual power. The knowledge and wisdom of the world, sinks into oblivion, when compared with the wonderful power of God.
