PRESIDENT NOT TO OPPOSE CADIDACY OF EASTRN NEGRO Coolidge Amazed at Letter Asking Him To Itervene Against New Yorker UPHOLDS 'CONSTITUTION Washington, Aug. 11. —Replying to a letter of protest against the candidacy of a Negro in New York state for congress, President Coolidge today expressed amazement at the suggestion that he intervene, and reaffirmed his attention of administering the constitution which, he pointed out guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. The letter made public at the White House, was written by the president to Charles Gardner of Fort Hamilton, N. Y. Mr. Gardner had sent a news paper clipping concerning the candidacy of a Negro for a seat in congress from New York, and suggested "repeated ignoring of the growing race problem does not excuse us for allowing encroachments." Leaving out of consideration the manifest impropriety of the president intruding in a local contest for nomination." Mr. Coolidge wrote in reply, "I am amazed to receive such a letter." "During the war 500,000 colored men and boys were called up under the draft not one of whom sought to evade it. They took their places wherever assigned in defense of the nation of which they are just as truly citizens as are any others. The surgession of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which, however THE LADY OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN - MRS. I. F. BATES, President of The WOMAN'S HOME AND FOREIGN MISSION CONVENTION Parmons, and his last came over to be with us in our rally. Dinner was first served to the visitors after which we listened to a soul stirring sermon by Rev. Schoeby, subject "One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism". There was rejoicing, and we know that spirit was among us. Dr. Schoeby is surely one of God's chosen men. Rev. Chas Teal of Independence, was also with us. At 8 p. m., our pastor preached another wonderful sermon, subject "The Eagle Stirreth up her Nest." Attendance throut the day was very good. Mr. Willie Greene has resumed work at the Lakery after being in few days. Messrs Metcalf and Bryant w Cherryyale, visitors, Sunday. Get a quick lunch at Mrs. Be Smith's, South Depot.

REMEMBER THE ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR DRIVE The City Women's Federated Clubs are making the Last Drive to pay the $1000.00 Balance on the PHYLIS WHEATLY CHILDREN'S HOME. They are planning a great mass meeting at St. Paul A. M. E, Church at 3 p. m. This particular move is being sponsored by the boys of the home. Dr. A. W. Ross, State Missionary of Kansas Baptist State Convention is expected to deliver the address. Every loyal citizen will be present with his $1.00 or he will send it or pay it to a representative. It might be received, in some other quarters, could not possibly be permitted by one who feels a responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican party. "Our constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my oath to support that constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it and administer it, as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race. A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself and nobody else. "You have suggested that in some fashion I should bring influence to bear to prevent the possibility of a colored man being nominated for congress. In reply, I quote my great predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt: "I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color."—The Wichita Eagle. ```markdown ``` Mr. Willie Greene has resumed his work at the Lakery after being ill a few days.

NOTES 5021-2 East Gibson Ave., Connelsville, Pa., Aug. 2nd, 1924, To The Negro' Star, Wichita, Kansas. I have just returned from the great Sunday School and B. Y. P. U, State Convention, which met with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pa. This State has more than 75,000 Baptist tlist who are doing great thing for the cause of Jesus Christ. The program was well arranged and carried to the letter. The president of this great Convention is a layman of very high standing both as a business man and a christian gentleman. He is well prepared to do the work. Tuesday and Wednesday, July 29 and 30 were given to the B. Y. P. U, and Thursday and Friday, July 31 and August 1, were given to the S. School Con. Both Conventon was well attended and carried out a good program. The Union Baptist Church if Connellsville, Pa. of which I am the pastor was well represented in both convention. Our Union represented with $50 and the S. School represented with $75. making a total of $125. We took five delegates from each department to the convention. The Convention raised more than $5000.00 in this session. The same officers were re-elected except one or 2 This was my first time meeting this convention, and I can say that it was highly pleasing to me. Altho this convention wasn't any better than our convention in the dear old state of Kansas. We have as great and prosperous young people as Kansas has elder ones in the Baptist field. The reason this state raised more money than Kansas is due to the fact that this state has 10 times more Baptist members than the state of Kansas. When you put them both on a percentage I believe that Kansas is ahead. I met many of the heroes of Kas. at Cleveland, Ohio in June, and I hope to meet many more in Sept. at Nashville, Tenn. Let every Baptist in this Country send $1 to Nashville to this great dedication of our own publishing house. Rev. L. D.

He brought back to our mind the heroes of the Civil War and of our right to al Country Tis of Thee." He drew a beautiful picture of our soldiers, climbing San Juan, "and I gave him right to sing, "My Country of Thee." He spoke forly of the wonderful history repeated about the building of the pyramids. or the terraban engines, copper wires and m m gs to an advance civilization and of the lost art of staining glass and embuse. He scored our people for rearing girls and poor boys—such boys want to get joy out of life with it working. He said when Negroes are put in Jim-crow cars, it put a stamp of impropriety upon us.

Your opportunity is at hand to help the City Federated Clubs raise the $1000.00 now needed to pay off the indebtedness of the Phillia Wheatley Citi dren's Home, an Institution that should be the pride of every citizen of Wichita, because it is putting into practice the teachings of Jesus; where the fatherless and the motherless might have shelter and food. We can't think of a better investment now. Will you look up the solicitors and let at least One Do lar go free to help somebody Every Christian will, and everybody with a heart will; only those who have no heart will fail in this $1000 drive. WE would that all men could be leaders, but it is not God's program. He wants you to brighten the corner where you are. He that would be the greatest is the one who will be the servant for all; not the one who will tell anybody, that if you will give me so much money I will throw al. t. Negro votes or all of any people's vote one way. A safe leader is not a leader who will attempt to take the privileges of his people and for dollars and Cents and attempt to force them in any certain way; he should seek after truth and when he finds it, make it known that all might know the truth; then teach them what is best to do—leaving it up to them to think and act. IT has been said and it will steadily be advanced that Wichita is absolutely standing in need of CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP to direct not only its political movements but all other movements in which the race is interested. The time has certainly arrived when no certain clique may hope to instill a spirit of fear in the hearts of their fellows by which they themselves will be enabled to enter into combinations purporting to have the substantial support of the race but in the development of which the race has had no choice. THE Church has within itself the absolute forces out of which must come the awakened spirit of progressive political purity based upon the fundamentals of the Gospel of Jesus Christ which brought into play upon modern politicies will serve ```markdown ``` This Institution is ideally located on the Victory Highway, just outside the city limits, overlooking the city of Topeka.

Bowren, President. as the mighty lever to elevate the political situation of America out of the danger dangerous waters of radical differences of sectional classes into which it is steadily drifting. The Ch., has a definite place and part in the political world and until it asserts its full power to against the position of determining the altitudes and appreciations of the government forces of civilized government there can be but little hope for a decrease of the fierce tension which is now threatening the great structure of modern civilization. Those who object to the steady advancement of the Christian Church into political affairs can but dread the terrible force of the church against sinister political methods or fail to have arrived at a proper appreciation of the particular merits and mission of the church. THE greatest apparent danger to the race at present lies in having a diseased intellectuality, developing within itself which has led to a striving to maintain place thru the column of racial organs by series of unfair attacks upon all agencies, forces and individuals out of harmony with its particular line of thought; inclination of selfish individuals to maintain place and influence thru the sacrifice of race, political security and honor into the hands of radical elements for a consideration; The last stand of an "Old Guard," which thru years believed that it held some peculiar rights to the privilege of determining just what and what the race was not to do concerning every given situation and circumstance touching racial movements. It is against the above forces from within that leaders of the race who are consecrated to the greater political and social prestige of the race must be on the alert. Your first accusition of wrong comes from some one, who knows what he would do if he had your chance. It is better to watch Judas, who is so anxious about minor things than to watch Peter, who over did many things because of zealousness for the cause's sake. Judas may make you feel good in his presences, but the eye servant is never safe with affairs in your absence. It takes a Peter to do more in your absence, than in your presence; you may rest a principle for the best interest of all concerned on a Peter, but beware of an accuser.

OUR policy is to do right, to have no enemies, to seek the best, to safeguard the people, and to teach the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.

We would rather be right than wealthy, because a wealthy heart pays off more people than a wealthy pocketbook. We are proud to tell the world when it comes to spiritual birth, shape, growth and final destiny, to search the Scriptures for themselves and if there won't be a baptizing, it is because there is no water; not to be a Baptist only, but because you believe in the Scriptures. Then you can't beieve in the Scriptures without being free and wanting everybody free. When it comes the time to better the economic and liv conditions of all people, we forget race identity, creed and friends, and seek to do right. It is not our policy to sling mud, but sprinkle perfume, because one great author says, "If you sprinkle perfume on others, a few drops will fail on you." We hope never be politicians; if it means to say that a man is not worthy nor safe to lead, then select him as a leader; but we do want to learn how to do right and teach others righteousness.

At the Morning Services while the choir sang of God's holiness, a sweet solemn came to those present, Rev. M. L. Jackson read Gen. 4:1-9 for a Scripture Lesson, Afterwhich Rev. Marchant preached a wonderful sermon, text Gen. 4:7. "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted, and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door, and unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shall rule over him." "Is there a Beast at your door?" A few excerpts from the sermon. "Sin is likened to a beast crouching at the door. Does the beast of envy or jealously lie at your door? Are you guilty of committing sins that make you fear to help in christian service? You fear to pray in public. Why? You fear to lead in prayer meeting. What beast lies at your door? Kead Gal, 5 see the 17 beasts which Paul names. The Baptist Young Peoples Union held a fine meeting. "Beautiful Things I See in Nature. Their Lesson." The above was the topic for discussion. The authusiasum of youth and the experience of age made the discuscious interesting and profitable. At eight p. m., after a scripture lesson was read from James:1:10, Rev. B. L. Marchant, our minister used a text from James 3.8 "But the tongue can no man tame", it is an annuly eirl, full of deadly posion." Subj. The Human Tongue." Tf # sermon was one to be remembered.
