"MY LITTLE BROWN BOY"
"MY LITTLE BROWN BOY"
Ah, little brown boy, how I love you I hear the patter of little feet up and down the stair case; louder they come, softly they go—like the foot fall of elves, ascending after a mission to make glad the hearts of the children of men. Thru the open transom comes your gladsome laughter, reverberating thru the halls, breaking the thotful silence of God's great out of doors. I see you at the window, your russet cheeks pressed firmly against the pane your teeth brilliant like ocean pearls which gleam amid the waves. Little do you know, little brown boy, or peradventure care that your world of tomorrow is as cold and austere as the glass thru which you gaze.
Again, I sleuth your every step over the green award and tru the dews of the infant morning—here you pause on the brink of a rill and listen to the strange but fascinating murmur of its liquid cadence. Gracefully the denizens of the air wheel and scream yefore you, and for the first time your heretofore unlanguished thots take form and like-wise, glide, feverishly away upon the wings of promise. Upward yon look into the path of the star things-over and above, you gaze, and still nothing but the tireless unbroken stretches of the immeasurable fields of blue.
How like a lost forgotten atom amid the dust and decay of earth; struggling to divine the inscrutable wisdom of an All Wise Something, but in vain! Yesterday, I saw you standing with your tiny feet together on the brow of a hillock; your face radiant your arms extended wide, as if to embrace the all eternity with its burden of hoary years.
My fingers slip from the youthful page in the book of life and there upon on the Golgotha of a race hope, hangs my little brown boy of the yeater years—with the scowl of agony chiselled upon his manly brow! How like a crucifix suspended above the rabble
ASSOCIATION
Man is purely a social being, and loves to be in a social atmosphere. No better example can be offered than that of Jesus, who came from heaven to earth to redeem man. As Jesus went about from village to village teaching the people about God, he began to choose with care some, a his friends and companions. He did not choose the great and learned, he did not mind if they were simple and poor; but He sought those who were loving and kind, true and faithful and who were able to help Him. Atta careful choosing, one of these failed Him.
Your associates picture your future Since we are purely social beings, we are always found seeking some kind of association. If the right fans to appear, we are apt to accept the wrong rather than face desolation. And the more we associate, the more we like the association and in time, become alike; for just as your associates, so you become. Husbands and wives grow to think alike; friends influence friends; homer influence homes; community and church into grow nearer, and in the end all are voicing the same opinions to a certain degree. The choice of friends should not be regarded carelessly.
Therefore, it is up to the Christian individuals to build up such barriers of right that wrong cannot break them down, because of desolation. It is up to the Christian parents to mold a pure social ideal in the homes; for there are the children who are the adults of tomorrow. There are the children who are imitators, whose little minds are plastic, and a wrong ideal planted there will remain throout. From home life, the child enters school life where he meets children from different homes and different homes, different environments. Here he begins to choose his associates, and here is the beginning test of home training. If pure, he will as a usual thing seek the pure; if impure, he will seek the impure. Then it is up to the teacher to discourage wrong ideals, and establish thoughts and actions that trend upward.
After leaving school life, he enters community life, where he meets those who labor by his side, earning a livelihood. If he has not yet learned to choose the right associates, he is then apt to go downward to sin and degradation.
Community life teaches boedience of laws and rights of others, but where parents, schools and communities, fail, over all is the church, which teaches the love of God and mankind, which in itself is the purest association of all—An association intermingled with the love of God and mankind.
hoards, often times murdered upon a cross of gold; but truth, like an aparition rises from the debris of legal containtions and broken promises, only to herall the rising star of a grinder day.
Little brown boy, I want to tell you of my dream picture—a picture of fancy, of hope and of my younger years—a picture painted with the delicate pigments of blood and gold—again of the dream of stern reality that broke my heart; but in the breaking let me not forget to tell you of the hand of confidence that quickened my drooping spirit and bade me play the man in the heroic drama of life!
I pause here, little friend, reluctant to tell you all. The Nectar which you slip from the goblet of eternal youth is too sweet to be embittered by the cup of experience, the worm wood of tomorrow.
Goodbye little friend. When the big tender tears of childish fancy and imagined wrongs are wiped away by the Magic Touch of Wisdom—when your little toy dog and spooky dreams haunt your mind no more, but linger only as tender memories down the long, long vista of the half forgotten past, I shall come to you again little boy, Good Byel

J. H. KELLEY DECEASED
J. H. KELLEY DECEASED
ATCHISON, KANSAS,—Captain Haney Kelley, was born in Bowling Green, Ky., in 1863. Departed this late November 12th at 9:35 a.m., at his residence on the farm South of town. Age 57 years. He was better known as J. H. Kelley, the barber. Mr Kelley had been in failing health the past year. He, wife and sister, Mrs. H. M. Underwood of Wichita, motored to Salina, Kansas the first week in October for the purpose of attending the Baptist State Convention which convened in that city, Oct. 6-11, 1925. During their stay in the city they stopped at the residence of Mr. Elias Hunter, a relative, and while there, he was strucken with the fatal illness from which he never recovered, and as soon as he was physically able to travel he and family returned to his farm in Atchison County, Kansas where he crossed the Great Divide on the above date.
In the passing of Mr. J. H. Kelley, the city of Atchison, looses a good citizen, a man of wide influence, strictly business, and honest in all his dealings; a man of few words, frank in expression and the possessor of a kind heart. The school of experience had taught him how to save and invest his earnings in a manner that brought him great profit. He was Deputy District Manager of the Security Insurance Company, and was one of the prime factors in helping to place said company on a paying basis in Atchison, Topeka, Kansas City, and Wichita. He was also interested in the political and civic affairs of Atchison.
Thirteen years ago, he attended an Eyangeistic meeting conducted by Rev. Bob Jones (white) at this meeting he was convicted of sin, and later confessed Christ and joined the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and was baptized by the pastor, Rev H. W. White. Shortly after he united with the Ch, he was elected to the Deacon Board in which capacity he served faithfully until the end; he was also Treasurer of the church for 7 years up to the time of his death. As a churchman he was true to his trust. Pastors and Layman alike could rely upon him when he had once pledged his support. It can be truthfully said of Mr. Kelley that he did not practice deception with friend, or foe, but would clearly state his position on any subject that claimed his attention. He was a regular tither, and when out of the city, upon his return, he would bring or send his money to the church. He gave as a reason for not uniting
Convention, now attending the Diswonderfully addressed the S. S. this will also stay over for Sunday ser-
with other churches while out of the city (only by association) was that Ebenezer needed his financial support. As a solicitor for the church, Deacon Kelley could not be excelled. He stood well with the white race, and he has been largely responsible in helping to place thousands of dollars to the credit of the Ebenezer Baptist Church. His last official act for the church was to meet the City Commissioners and have a $400.00 debt on back taxes, remitted. The church has lost a great character, and a friend in her struggles.
Funeral services were conducted at the church, Friday afternoon at 2:30 p. m. November, 13. Sermon by the pastor, Rev. C. P. Morrow; text, 2nd Tim. 4:7; "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." Solo, Mrs. E. R. Harper, "He's The One." Obituary, Mrs. Edith Barnes. Resolutions very appropriate. Eulogy, Rev. W. C. Cartwright, ex-pastor, now of St. Louis, Mo. The church was well filled by members, friends and visitors, thus paying their last tribute of respect to the deceased. Floral designs were beautiful. Dr. W. W. Caldwell of Kansas City, Mo., formerly of Atchison, and who served on the Deacon Board with Deacon Kelley in 1913, was also present.
The body was in charge of the A. F. & A. M. Masons.
He leaves to mourn his demise a devoted, faithful widow and one sister, Mrs. H. M. Underwood of Wichita, who was constant and dutiful to her brother; other relatives and friends.
Interment at Mt. Vernon Cemetery, by Sawin & Douglass Undertakers, in a handsome Mahogany casket. All of his earthly possessions were left to his widow which consisted in an estate worth while.
In the language of John, The Revelator, "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, henceforth: Yea, sald the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
The members of the club met on Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. S. W. Flemings at her home 411 N. Water, Current events and quotations were given, with the transaction of business and the time engaged in needlework. A very pleasant and profitable afternoon was spent. They enjoyed also an elegant luncheon served by the hostess.
Next week they will meet with Mrs.
C. Tillman at 911 Indiana Avenue.
BUILDS NEW BUSINESS HOME
Newton, Kansas, should be proud of Mr. D. D. Skelton, who is now building a new two-story building with 5 rooms upstairs, well suited for offices. This building is 20x50 and is now occupied by him with an up-to-date barber shop, cafe, and service car station. This advance stop should inspire the business men of Newton, and in short all of West Fourth will be a business cented.
Mr. Skelton is a man with a vision — kicks go forward from thoughts and activities of such men.
TELL US ABOUT IT
TELL US ABOUT IT
WICHITA, Nov. 17, 1925—Gentlemen—For some time, I have been lamenting the fact that no effort was being made in Wichita, by anyone, to release in the Community, any of the very valuable books that have been published within the past two years, touching upon the varied phases of the race, its history, progress, and achievement as well as many of the present besetments.
Since moving into our new location and having someone in the office, we have been able to secure a half dozen copies each, of some fifteen of the most recent and high powered books both by authors of other races and even of other nations, about the present race situation in America and the world.
We have such books as:—The Clash of Color; Of One Blood; Christianity and The Race Problem; The Trend of the Raccs; In The Vanguard of a Race; And Who Is My Neighbor? Fire In The Flint; There Is Confusion; Finding a Way Out, which is the autobiography of Dr. R. R. Moton; Up From Slavery; and The Story of My Life, by Booker T. Washington; Dr. Dubois' two latest books: Darkwater; and The Gift of Black Folks. Now I am sure you fully appreciate just what it will mean to have these books available to the citizenry of our community. And this, the Association is trying to do.
If you feel that this is a worthy service to the Community, and will serve in enlightening our citizenry, any assistance that you may lend in this connection will be very greatly appreciated.

Five Cents Per Copy
COLORFUL NEWS 'MOVIES'
By: The Cameraman
THEY CAME, THEY SAW
THEY CONSUERED
POOR FELLOW! HES CRAZY.
(Creation News Service)
They Came—These fifty Negro gladiators from the highest walks of American life, to counsel together upon the problems that beset their life. They came patriotically, loyal to their country, their Government, and themselves, to take an inventory of America's blessings, and to viti dispassionately what bulwarks independence, through neglect and waste, have been permitted to crumble to dust. They came in peace, from far and near, in a wealth of integrity, intelligence, and intention to offer solvents to heal the breaches in Democracy, as praeced and practiced in America; and as they came, they pledged themselves to a new day when their people might be freed from the racial despotisms which have so intolerantly bloomed during the last half century.
They Saw—These honorable statesmen—that civic, economic, social, and political diseases have here and there unclinched the independent form of America, that proscriptions still ensue from the bitterness of racial hatred and scorn. They saw some of the mockeries of Justice, the deceptions of American men with each other, and the sentiment which has grown strong in the belief that one race is superior to another. They saw the unenforcement of the sacred constitutional precepts, the break-down of Christian religion, the oppression that exists, notwithstanding the pledges of Government and of men that all Americans shall indeed be free. They remembered that their ancestors had been brought to America in bondage to be the servants of servants, and that upon their labor a large portion of the country had built up an enormous wealth; and they know that the same territory is now foremost in denying Liberty, Justice, and Equality.
They Conquored—These exemplary citizens of America's finest products whatever timidity and lack of organization their groupal predecessors had permitted to prevail, and stated the case of their people. They asked for fairplay from their govern- (Continued on page four)
THANKSGIVING
We will be at the period in the United States, where man can stop, count up the blessings the Master has bestowed upon him for the activities of mind and muscles in dollars and cents, in products or in spiritual advancements next Thursday. Those who have done less, think it is time to fill their stomach and spend money foolishly, that they may have chance to possess. Those who have used their minds think it is time to express in words, arranged in lovely phrases of the blessings now in their possession for the year's work. Those who have developed fat souls feel like it is time to express to the Holy Spirit the gratitude for the wholesome food on which their souls have fed. Now, since life does not end here, suppose that the less fortunate, the thinkers and the fat souls meet next Thursday and unite on the plans of Jesus for greater blessings for the year. Come to St. Paul A. M. E. Ch. at 11 a. m., for the Thanksgiving Services.
at 9:45 a.m. An interesting review of the lesson study by Rev. Brooks.
The A. C. E. League meeting was held at 7 p.m.
A meeting of the Stewardess Board was held on Monday afternoon.
The Boosters' Club called a meeting on Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Nannie Brown.
Next Sunday Nov. 22, will be Harvest Home Day.
Dinner will be served on Thanksgiving Day.
The Ladies Ald Society held their weekly meeting on Wednesday afternoon.

NEW JERSEY GIRL
TO WED RACE MAN
THOUGH HER KIN
PROTEST
(Preston News Service)
BLOOMFIELD, N, J., Nov 14,—It
fs naid that despite the protests of
her parents, Miss Ielen Burns, of 16
Walnut Terrace, this city, says she
will marry William E, Jackson, of
Montctair, who, when he obtained a
marriage license In New York, Wed
nesday, admitted he was of Negro
blood, It fs claimed thit he told the
clerks In the marriage hcense office,
that his mother was part Negro, her
father being white and her mother
colored, He arlded, it is said, that he
had always passed as white.
Ruling that Jackson was a Negro,
Assistant Corporation Counsel Tarbox
consented to the Jicense grant,
When thty learned Thursday that
| Jackson was a Negro, Miss Burns’
| parents, Mr, and Mra, Peter Burns,
vigorourly protested against the mar-
riage, but their daughter was firm in
her determination to marry Jackson.
The girl's grandmother who lives at
the Walnut Terrace address, fs raid
to have sided with her granddaughter
and spoke of Jackson as a man of
high character and declared that she
was emphatically in favor of the
marriage, Nothing could be learned
of the date of the proposed wedding
Scores Sheike and Cake Taters
Miss Burns is reported to have de-
clared that she was sick and tired of
going around with cake eaters and
shelks, “They are a silly bunch of
fools, Mr, Jackson {s a fine man, gen~
tlemanly and courteous; he thinks
and talks of worthwhile things.” She
is quoted as saying, “I didn't want
my mother to know that Mr, Jackson
was a Negro, but now the fact that
she docs know, won't stop me from
marrying him.” ead

H. T. SIMS, Editor and Publisher
Miss L. Covington, 501 N. Water St. Phone M. 1665 Local Editor Entered as second-class matter June 12th 1019, at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
THE Capper Farmer edited by Mr. A. H. Capper, Topeka, Kansas, comes to us this week, a valuable journal one that should be read extensively, especially by the farmers as it carries much useful information for farming necessities.
No one can come to the Southwest Board Meeting now without feeling that the Baptist workers have the yoke of Christ upon them and are now learning of Him. Every auxiliary, Thursday and Friday proved that it had a vision of the future and was moving forward. We shall give story of the work next issue.
IN our possession is a beautiful float decorated by the Second Baptist Church, Eldorado. It shows church pride to take part in these public demonstrations and when they do, they should o their best. This is a post card scene and they were in the caffer-corn carnival parade.
WE want men to grow and go into larger fields, but we can't conceive the idea that Rev. G. T. Raimey of Junction City, has given up his splendid field and gone to Dallas, Texas, for good. The Holy Spirit will do the leading and we know He will do right, so we are praying that the Holy Spirit will have His way in the matter.
The Pronts of Decency
THE biggest discovery of the twentieth century is the soundness of the principle of live and let live. Other generations were convinced that "dog eat dog" was the hard rule of business. A man sought prosperity by outwitting or destroying his rivals. That spirit lingers in places but it is dominant no longer. Instead of fighting to undermine competitors, men co-operate to promote the general prosperity. The growth of this habit of mutual helpfulness during the last few years is one of the remarkable developments of American life.
It is an outcome of another important discovery, the profit to be made out of multiplying and satisfying the wants of the average man.
Plato, the great dreamer of ancient Greece, described his ideal republic in which the fortunate citizens were kept prosperous and free by the labor of slaves. He could not imagine a state in which the men and women who performed the heavy labor of civilization also shared in its fruits.
The discovery that there is room enough for all is one of the epochal advances in human history.
The United States has learned the lesson first. Our rich natural resources developed by scientific industrial methods have provided wealth inconceivably abundant.
Iirs ago many business men were possessed of the idea that they could prosper only as they took business away from their competitor.
The fact is that the capacity of the human race to consume and consequently to produce has never been fathomed. Nobody can bound the possibilities of consumption.
The man who predicted that the money value of products manufactured in the United States would increase six times in twenty years would have been considered a lunatic. Yet that happened between 1899 and 1919 and the present rate of growth is even faster. America has expanded miraculously because we are at last recognizing the fact that there is room for all. We have proved that high wages pay handsome dividends. We have seen the prosperity of one establishment open opportunities for others in the same industry. There is no room for jealousy or destructive competition.
A great thing has happened. The material advantages of decency have been demonstrated and a wide and promising vista has opened. This, too.

real Democracy. They conquered only its constituents. Like the Pilgrim athers, they sought peace—the peace that comes from a full and absolute freedom, the kind that guaranteed by real Democracy. They conquered any disbelief that colored Americans are worthy of America's best customs; they conquered, if America will but admit it, any semblance of racial inferiority, based upon color. They conquered the fallacy that colored people cannot reason together, and they refreshed America's recollection that in Unity there is strength. For this unity, they pleaded, not cringly but manfully. And then, these determined Americans returned to their tasks and their people, pleaded to a new day, a new Democracy, a new Christianity, a new citizen—a fuller life of greater reward as well as greater service. The pledge is made, from Bishop A, J. Carey, Dr. John R. Hawkins, and Melvin J. Chisum, to the humbleest delegate present; from Kansas City, to Boston; from Buffalo to Atlanta. And it is for us to preserve and keep it for the sake of our children and children's children.
The Insanity Bug is running wild among the white folks. I'oor young Rhinelander, (white) who after entering an unholy state of quasi-matrimony with a winsome colored lassie, made it holy and legal, only to be now pictured by his counsel in the annulment suit as being weak-mind-

ed, the victim of a pitiable mentality and felictious highbindery. Unlike Leopold and Loeb, the poor rich fellow did not commit the enime of murder, only in a financial way; but now that his lust has had its "cooling time" why, of course, poor fellow, He's crazy, was crazy, and always will be crazy. He's not even as brave as the mulatto vendors of the South who, rather than plead insanity, pass miscegenation laws making it a high crime to marry a colored woman. Just to show that this Insanity Bug is no respector of territory or sex, a young white woman of New Jersey was about to marry a colored man—a most foolish plan for both—when her parents discovered that the Insanity Bug had bitten her, and forth with tried to have her cease and desist from a crazy venture.
Dr. Blazer (white) destroyer of his daughter, is another white man who is now noe compos mentis. A North Carolina jury is now trying 38 members of a crazy mob, which recently stormed the Buncombe county jail in search of a sane Negro youth, who had been harried 32 miles away to safety, and who was thereafter found to be innocent of the crime with which he has been charged. Last week, in Washington, a white man killed his fellow worker at the latter's request. At the inkhest, he testified that he would do anyone the favor of slaying them if they sincerely asked him so to do.
Now we don't believe particularly in interracial marriages; neither do we believe in the exploitation of the virtue of our women, especially at the price of racial purity and in the face of the barriers of miscegenation laws, all of which should be repealed. There is somt solace, though, in the fact that though we have very humble homes, a high death rate, an appalling rise in tubercular victims, and the mantle of the accusation that we are more given to crime than the whites, INSANITY hasn't made any heavy inroad upon us, and colored persons before the bars of Justice seldom, if ever, plead insanity. If Negroes charged with high crimes were given to the employment of million-dollar lawyers who could show by scientists and experts that their clients were plumb locoed, and that they were, in fact, the same kind of cowards as the proponents of weakmindedness who seek dispensation upon that ground alone, the propulsion incarceration of Negro felons in state penitentiaries would be reduced nearly 75 per cent, just as it is among the whites.
"No Vacancies" says Mr. Firestone.
"No Vacancies" says Mr. Firestone. Harvey Firestone, of Akron, Ohio, the American rubber King-to-be, of Liberia, who is said to contemplate manning his Liberian rubber plantation, which is to be the largest in the world, with a working personnel of more than 300,000, has evidently broken all speed records in the mobilization of his forces. Although it is evident that architects, engineers, draughtmen, chemists, foresters, etc, as well as a great army of highly-skilled laborers will be employed in this great project, Negro applicants for technical and scientific places with the Firestone organization are daily receiving courteous letters to the effect that there are "no vacancies."

The love of good, wholesome fun is an attribute of the American temperament, and on these lines the Rusco & Hockwald's big show is put together. It is a language intoxicant from start to finish, not one dull moment from the rise of the curtain to its fall; each act is different and no surfeit of any one act. Not a moment of mediocrity in the whole bill of entertainment. The acts are of high standard and embrace singing, dancing, comedy, gymnasts, aerialists and quartettes. A number of bright, original endmen furnish a feast of fun with their own creative wit, among whom are many well known comedians.
