THEN GROSTAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14, No.49. PRIMARY ELECTION LAST MONDAY. PRIMARY ELECTION LAST MONDAY. As usual, many who thought they should, were disappointed and many who deserl, lost out; but intell gently thinking, there is a right reason human selecled for you to vote your best judgement on next Tuesday. We need three city commissioners and three on the school board; put a little energy in the master and may be you will think better and you will vote right. The city reads men who are men and who will protect and develop the city symmetrically. This paper would like to see from the named primary Frank L. Dunn, Een F. Coply and Wallace Kemp for the city commissioners and W. O. Mendenhall, Hubert C. Herring and A. C. Orr as members of the school board. These men have thoughts and hearts, intended to do right. Use your best judgmen, but be sure to vote next Tuesday. It was a shame to see so few voting in the primary; it is your city and you should stay on the job with plenty of pep converng the things that are vital to the welfare of its government and prosperity.

Warder of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary, Topeka, Kansas, preached for us Sunday morning. He used as a text Jamer 11:27; subject, "Christian Religion" Strong emphasis was put on the fact that Christian Religion prompts one or gives an overwhelming desire to be engaged in real service for God We should not labor to be exalted, neither to please men, but to please God. A very impressive sermon indeed. We were very much pleased to have Rev. Warder with us. Partor Williams delivered a strong and practical sermon Funday evening, subject: "Christian Min'stry."

It was the blessed privilege of the Baptist on last Sunday to hold a religious service at the Municipal Farm under atapices on the Cavary bliss Class. Quite a repressive number from it. Mary Church joined Calvary and at four o'clock, we opened a very effective religious service, which was enjoyed by all. The singing was led by Misses Irane Woodad, Lucie Jones and Mrs. N B Coyland; and very effective testin' ones were aided by Me-dames Ida Reed and Will Daly. Many witnessed, but the tast mony by Bro. Frank Gardenhire, who has recently taken a change for the right way, took more effect. In the series of players led by Bro. A. C Cartar'right, there were some servant and earnest pleas, rent to the Master in their behalf; ending by singing softly: "What A Friend We Have In Jesus." Three or four took a sard for a better life and step forward, giving Rev. B. C. Rannavalona their lands. These meetings are being fostered every Sunday by the Modern Samaritans of which Bro. Sychar is President and who is so pleased to do the work for the benefit of the unfortunate. the results of their efforts. Misa Mattie Williams was the successful contestant for the diamond ring.

That there is something fundamentally wrong with man's general program of life? Nature has intended that man's course of life should include as definite a period for rest as for work. Rest is just as essenial, so a well fruited life as food we consume. In many cases it is more necessary. Just think for a moment how vastly the average person spends its nights—that part which he occupies in bed. Most people never feel that the day (eight hours) is long enough for them to accomplish their day's assignment; consequently they steal away a part of the time, allotted by nature as a rest period, and continue the strain which should last only eight hours. People wonder and are much distressed about the fact that they die so early. If we figure up a little, we shall find that many people whose life program seems to close at an untimely end, have lived as many WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Mar. 30, 1923. A. A man is a man, who will speak plainly his purpose, and will be far with all, while endeavoring o carry out that purpose. He is a successful business man and promis s to give the city the benefit of his experience. days as another person who takes thought of himself and lives out his allowed time. The only difference is that the individual who expres s at an early age has done as much work in 24 hours as the long liver does in 4 or 5 days. Hence, the short life man does, in many instances, as much or more worse than the one who enjoys a longer. So man's life program should be arranged in such a way that the three periods (eight hours each) during the 24 hours, will not generally overlap, but immerge one into the other with automatic succession. That Mrs. skys now that Mr. in gone out of town for a whi she can make up for the 3 or 4 hours sleep she lost each night during the last 3 or 4 months? Little folks can sometimes stand more than big folks. That we shall be glad to receive material for this column? What have you to say? St. Mary Baptist Notes. Our last Sunday's services were fan. Our Sunday School is full of bloom. We had more than seventy in the morning session. Our minster, Dr. Douglass, preached from Sunday School subject; it was great. One joiner. Our B. Y. P. U. session was goodMrs. J. D. Wilson was elected supply teacher, Bro. Taylor was elected supply teacher for the Union; Messrs James Douglas, Jr., A. J. Duke, Bro. Anderson, Rev. J. D. Wilson, Bro. Gardenhire and Bro. Roberson visited the Municipal Farm as representatives of St. Mary's Church. At 8 o'clock p. m, Rev. Douglass, the pastor chose for his text, 1st Tim. 1:15; subject: "Stewardship." After the sermon three came forward for membership. Our collection, $70.80. We have 12 more for baptism and they are still coming. We have taken into the fold, 80 since Christmas. Mrs. J. E. Douglass and Mrs. Young are training the children for Erster; a great time is expected next Sunday at St. Mary's Church. St. Matthews C. M. E. March 25th surprised many with its beautiful sunshine and lovely spring morning, with the chirping of the birds and tramping of many little feet, rushing on their way to Sunday School. This itself tell us Christ the Lord has risen. Our Sunday School is on its march to a better growth each Sunday. Our Supt, is always ever ready at his post of duty. Our teachers are prompt, trying to better our children in thought and mind for the future. Subject of the lesson, "Home Mission." I am sure you were present to get the thought on Mission that Christ would have you do. If so, you will do as Jesus did: not wait for the sheaves to come to you, but go out and find them. A great lesson. At 11:30 Rev. A. J. Jackson preached for us; reading 1st 2nd 3rd Psalm; REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON VITAL STATISTICS OF THE CITY-WIDE BAPTIST MISSIONARY UNION FOR SUNDAY, MARCH 11. During the interval between our meetings, our city as you know has quip put saxoos so dozs et us useq and record shows that most deaths among people in the prime of life. The only sensible and practical way to resist any disease or apdeme is by strictly adhering to all rules of health or sanitation. Diseases are diagnosed by their symptoms and any one who recognizes the common symptoms of disease is often able to sity its ravages and thereby save the patient from needless suffering. Flumonia as you probably know is the name now applied to pneumonia that follows the flu. Flu is readily recognized by the following symptoms:—severe cold, fever, pains in different parts of the body and head, and general weakness. Immediate medical attention is advised. Pneumonia often follows the flu. Its symptoms are:—severe chill, high fever, the fever rising three or four degrees in an hour, hot, dry skin, flushed face, pain in chest, dry hacking cough and rapid pulse. When we tell you that in our city alone for February, 23 cases out of 37 were fatal, over 75%, you will readily see the need of the best medical care. Tuberculosis sometimes follows the flu or pneumonia if a patient has not had proper care. It however is more often contracted from bodily discharges of persons infected or from milk. Some of its symptoms are:—A hacking cough, general debility, slit fever, night-sweats, and pain in chest. Excerpts from newspaper articles reveal the following:First, That a survey of insane hospitals show that the cause of one case of insanity out of every eight is due to veneral diseases. The importance of sex hygiene can not be over estimated. Second, That 3 to 5 times as many motherless babies die in the U. S, as do infants who depend upon a mother's rather than upon paid care. One mother dies for every 150 births recorded. In Kansas 2623 deaths of children under 1 year are recorded for 1922. Third, That births per 1000 of inhab tants are lowest for the Indian, and next to him the Negro. There were during the months of January and February, 17 colored births, 7 males and 10 females; for the same period there are recorded 20 deaths; 8 males, 9 femtics, 3 children. Respectfully submitted. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. G. G. Brown, Mrs W. L. Hutcherson, Mrs. Ida Ballance, Mrs. E. Patton. St. John 10:1-5. He preached as never before an excellent sermon. It seemed that each one present had received a spiritual blessing from the Sunday School and was ready to receive the word. The chanting of the choir and its beautiful music stirred the congregation; many left feeling good and discussing the blessing they had received. At 8:30 he preached another good sermon. Let us see your children, Sunday in Sundry School and Easter services. We are glad to see most of our members up, able to attend services after so much illness. The N. C. Cleaves Literry society every Tuesday. Let your girls and boys attend if they desire; it's a place for them, it helps to develop the brain and makes trained leaders for the future; it is a training school for them. The President, Mr. Delbert Brown and wife and other Christian workers are with them to help. Parents, come out and see what your children are doing and help push them to the front. Let all subscribe for The Star, you will get the latest news and keep up with the church work in general. BOY AND BROTHERHOOD INFOR MAL OPENING AT CALVARY The meeting was opened by Pres Bro. Wendell' Van Lau; the brettreen sang, "My Jesus I Love Thes." Capt. NOT GUILTY IN WICHITA. In Wichita, where right can get a hearing, you are not guilty b cause a white woman says no; there must be evidence to draw a verdict of guilt. The judges and lawyers are after the guilty an, are equally glad to set at liberty the innocent. In the case of Mrs. Nickerson, (white) 25th and Indiana, against Mr. George Ishan, 21th and Indiana for attempting assault, vanished when truth was deligently searched for land the case was dismissed March 24th. A real trial is all that any race should want and is the on pancetta for the ills of this country. Chanute Notes. Sunday was some what an enjoyable day through out the churcher.

Encore caused them to sing "O Mary, Don't You Weep." Bro. E.M. Barnes presented Bro. Eichelberger, speaker of the occasion, who is one of the outstanding Boy's Work Secretaries of America.

Five Cents Per Copy Its Fame Is Gone Forth. Students are still coming in for voice, violin or piano at the Wabash Studio of Music. This makes a real Conservatory of Music here all the more necessary and promising. Those who have registered since the last report are Meadames A. Livingston, Laura Anderson, J. Coleman and Miss Jewel Kavanaugh. Little Misses Lucia Hill and Zora Barries are to give their 'Grade End' Recital at an early day at the Studio. Six or seven students from the Wabash Studio of Music will furnish music for the program, at New Hope, Monday evening. If you have no children, why not give some orphan or unfortunate child music at the Studio? A Successful Agency. Mr. A. C. Cartwright and Mr. A. Wilting, Superintendent and his Assistant, respectively of the Security Insurance Co. of Atchison Kansas, left here for Arkansas City this week to open up a new field there. Mr. Cartwright has been connected with this company for the past four years, and was a Superinterdent in Kansas City for more than two years. He came to Wichita, about eight months ago and has been instrumental in issuing more than 12 or 14 hundred policies, and giving employment to three of his race here; Merris, James E. McAfee, Geo. E. Brock and A. Wulfg. We are proud of those who are alive to the business interest of the race and we predict great success for these live representatives in Southwestern Kansas. The Carnival A Success. The members and friends of Arthur Grossette Post, American Legion, had reasons to feel very proud of their first real carnival given last week.

It means to the vain thinker, something pretty to wear; to the preacher, a special sermon; to the Christian, "He Is Risen As He Said;" to the children, Easter egg; to the christian, a full stomach; but to study of the Bible School, a more clear vision of the Risen Lord and a program of demonstration; to the fool, mystery; and to the wise, a more clear picture of Father's power and love for His children and a blessed occasion to resolve anew concerning the things of the Kingdom and to substantiallt our claim of eternia life. What part will you have in the Sunday's celebration? The churches are preparing to draw the picture of the ove of Christ with programs of songs, speeches and prayers, and expect for you to be interested enough to be present. ANNOUNCEMENT. Mrs. Jan'e F.

He would make a kood man for any jazs aggregation. His'b’t and other -por- tiona of the show were rendered ma- terlally more effective by the work of George Platt with the traps and drums.

THERE CAN BE, AND IS NO logical excuse for the commission of certain unmentionable offences against womanhood regardless as to whether or not the offender be of the white, red, brown, yellow, or black race. As much as progressive minds may view with horror the concerning death of a fellowman even though it be by an edict of established society, yet one must concede that such offences merit the greatest possible punishment. That man who wlully and with a sinister purpose, bent on erecting a satisfaction of base animalism, the outcrop of more degeneracy attacks womanhood, is in no sense of the term fitted to associate with human kind. In all faces where such offences are charged, it ought to be, and under the course of civilized people is, the rule, that penalties be imposed by proper methods truly in accordance with the terrible crime. Yet experiences of law enforcement officials is slowly awakening society to the fact that there is no crime that can be charged to mankind which deserves more careful investigation than does the charge of rape when placed without absolute coroborating evidences of a substantial nature. The ever bustling whirl of civilization which is drawing races closer together in general social association; the growing trend of levels of the mediocre line of the human family to seek passionate intermingling in certain sections under cryptic circumstances; the increasing policy to discharge in a spirit of levity the employment of vulgar jests, and conversations in public places concerning womanhood together with the impulsive outburst of mob violence, under circumstances unjustified by any conception of fairness that can originate in an intelgent mind, all have a tendency not only to produce an inclination in the minds of weaklings, with which all races are overloaded, to attempt such offences, but are also productive of a certain class of females who resort to a satisfaction of erotic passions confident that certain whirls of prejudiced attudes can enable them to hide from discovery under a hue and cry which naturally accompanies the charge rape. No race in the history of mankind has suffered more through its women and is suffering more due to the base inclinations of mankind to resort to force in securing mates of an hour than has the Negro Race, hence, the entire voice of the intelligent, cultured and refined forces of the race has been and ever will be raked against offenders against womanhood with an earnest prayer, convinced however, of tactics that are often employed in the circles of low minded females, divorced of all sense of common decency by a depraved sense of racist intermingling and sexual desires for association with opposite race forces.

Yet let the entire force of the law mah nery be used to uncover any hidden circumstance which may tend to show undue liberties on the part of the focusing parties. Again, the full power of the race must be employed against the low grade Negro who cannot and will not arrive at a proper sense of apprecia tion of the humpered conditions under which the race is struggling in the present age. Let the teacher, editor, and minister cry out in protest on against the modern trend towards social evil on the part of the youth. Let the masses of the race in all sections protest against the inclination of those who come from restricted sections of the country when they manifest indications of moving in excess of ordinary liberties. Ard above all things let the leaders of a mighty race which stands to win on its merits, developed within its own rank stand ever protesting against miscognition. Within the ranks of the race among its own women are to be found the world's highest type of BEAUTY. Our women can easily set a handicap and beat the world for all those enchanting characteristics which str the red blood in men of brawn and brain. Let us train the young Negro that the path of racial grandeur lies within the power of the mating and motherhood of the BLACK WOMAN. The Jewish race followed such a doctrine and will now down. The glories of the womanhood of the race properly depicted can turn the so-called trend of certain elements of the race towards our own and rob many base elements of the opposite race of the opportunity to place unfounded charges of racial excesses. Start now an train the child to love his own. It is now an accepted fact in criminalogy that in cases involving erotic offences there is always a probability of existing cryptic relations that on proper investigation may tend materially to lessen the degree of guilty attached to the average rape charge, and with this ful'y in mind the attitude of the Negro towards those of his race must be that of a party desiring fully, justice to the accused offender with a full opportunity as afforded by law to disclose every existing perplexity of the situation. Again, the policy of making wholesale arrest of Negro men mtrely because of the fact that such an offence has been laid to a member of the race, without close investigation in the premises, must and will become the exception instead of the rule in with advanced ideas relative to the positionns of forces of opposite races to hide under cover of racial malice, prejudice and the heated inclination to move without thought into impulsive mob activities that may be kindled by the cry of desecrated woman. JUST THINK When you plan for that Sunday Dinner, where you can depend on getting the best in the market of 216 E. Douglas. Wichita's Oldest hood. The Negroes have for so long stood against all unnatural offences against womanhood, that is a loss of time to repeat that the race will and ever does go on record as being absolutely opposed to the guilty offender, but with a reservation that such guilty be established beyond the possibility of a reasonable doubt. Not only is there perhaps a tendency on the part of some Negroes, not of the better class and of the male specie, to interminge with females of the opposite race but such tendency is more and more being met by an amzing run of reciprocity on the part of females possessing innate strains of erotic degeneracy who are members of the major race. Hence, "Judge Not Least Ye Be Judged," Hence, the stand of the Negro Race for the conviction of such offenders, with the full penalty of the law attached where the offence is proven, but with a line of determined investigation which shall establish every minute point before such conviction is laid. There can be and is no room in the ranks of the race for offenders against womanhood, and the growing appreciation of the race as to the value of law observance and enforcement more and more will demand that such charges be fully established with all the cryptic circumstances presented to public gaze. Down with the brutes of all races but in accord with the proper methods of modern JUSTICE. LOCALS SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR.
