Tribune, the old lie that white women cannot walk with safety in the South for fear of attack, a white woman has written to the sauce newspaper. This woman, Dr. Carrie K. Bart- lett, not only reports that for years she taught and moved freely among Negroes in Arkansas and North Car- colina without ever‘recelving anything but courteous treatment and acsis- tance; but adds that it is the colored ‘women who fear attack from white tren, not the white women who need to fear attack from Negroes, says Dr. Bartlett: “I never received from a Negto man or woman anything but'the most perfectly courteocs treatment, bat I learned from the colored maids of the friend with whom I was living of # situation for which I wish we might find a remedy, These colored ‘women are afraid to go on the streets alone after dark for fear of attack by white men. Most of the maids go home at night. They believe that they do not have as good police protection ‘a8 do white women, and for mutual protection get together and go home fn groups.

Williams, of Coffeyville, Kansas, Pastor of the Calvary Baptist Ch. who recently conducted a great revi- val at the Compton Hill Baptist Ch., St. Louis, Mo. Dr. Williams is in a class by himself as an evangelist. His sermons are clear-cut, original and powerful. He preaches with all his soul and energy. He is well educate and well regenerated and is without a doubt called of God to preach the Gospel. He is modest in sport. Our golfing-champions, our swimming champions are generally considered the champions of the world. «But the physical perfection neces- sary to become a champ.on in aay field of physical activity is not a mat- ter of accident or change. Back of every champion you will find a ground work of sound physical development which has been maintained by con- ent exercise and intelligent train- ing Every normal boy bas the desire to attain a high degree of physical fitness, Many, however, are handi- capped by lack of proper information on training iules and care of the body. The U. S, Public Health Service has prepared a publication to fill this very need, This pubheation entitled, “Keeping Fit” gives authoritative in- formation on sound physical develop- ment, illustrated with numerous charts, diagrams, and pictures. Oth- er Smportant information on personal hyigiene with special chapters on sex hygiene for the growing boy ahd young man are included, Readers may obtain this publication free of charge by writing to the U.S, Pub- INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Sixteen countries were represent- ed in the international Student Con- ference at Tartu University, Estho- nla, by student delegates and repre- sentatives of student organizations, reported Harry S. Warner, Educa- tlonal Sceretary of the Intercolleg- late Prohibition Association, Student Department of the World League Against Alcoholism, who was one of the official delegates of the United States government to the Eighteenth International Anti-Alcohol Congress and the member for the United Btates of the International Student Committee, “This conference of students, he says, “waa more effective and had a lerger number of delegates than any of the other three International Stu+ manner, temperate in his habits and Strong In his convictions of the truth. Souls were edified and saved thro’ his sermons and Bible Lessons. Dr. Williams is a Biblical expert, “He makes the Bible his constant study, and preaching his hobby. The Compton Hill Baptist Church, and St. Louis, are better because he preached here, We are reluctant to let him return home, but we happily anticipate his return to us soon. Dr. Williams holds his congrega- dent Conferences held since the war. Its representation was largely from Central, Northern and Eastern Eu- rope, but this was strategic and promising rather than otherwise, be- cause of the new interest and grow- ing organization against drink that is found among students in many of those countries, the new counties, Finland, Esthonia, Latvina,, Lithunia, Poland, Czochoslovakia and Jugosla- via, that were caryed out of old Europe by revolution and the World War along that whole line of cleav- age between the East and the West that extends from the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean, are making the fight against drink a part of their program to develop national strength and to preserve their hard won in- dependence. This spirit of healthy nationalism {s especially keen among students; it promises much for the future, ° “The conference adopted strong resolutions requecting that #)slem- atic instruction be given In various departments of universities of all counties on the subject of alcohol and drink in the life of a nation; that it be taken up in each department such as medicine, economics, philosphy and psychology, with lectures and in- structions In the latest findings of selentific research according to the field of that particular deparment, Jt urged that students themselves encourage discussion and study, combat drink ¢ustoms and traditions and seek the establishment of stu- dent activities that shall be free from the soclal drink Influences of past ages.” HOWARD 7" Largp ere Uivataduvaa a ‘ OPENING (NLA.

It is claimed that when Rankin made his third visit to Miss Soffer at the home of her aunt she was chastised for permitting him to call daily, Finnally the aunt re- monstrated with the girl, but with no avail, The girl then left her aunt's home. This was about the middle of September, The sunt then telephon- ed to her brother, the girl's father, and told him of the circumstances, ‘The father, Sam Soffer, took up the matter with the District Attorney's office of Allegheny County. He swore out a warrant for the arrest of Ran- kin charging him with seduction, the girl being under 21 years of age. New York police soon located the couple and placed them under arrest. Mr. Soffer has gone to New York and declares that he wilt prosecute Ran- kin, Miss Soffer declares that she will stick with Rankin, no matter what happens. “We attended school together and have been ardent lovers from childhood and I propose to mar- ry Mr. Rankin despite the protests of my parents and relatives.

Dr. Enos Scruggs of Jefferson, Mo. who was recently elected Dean of the Central Baptist Seminary, made an earnest appeal for the support and co-operation of the Baptists of Kan- sas in building up the school and he slso urged upon young ministers to go to school that’ they might be pre- pared to shoulder the pressing need of today, Dr. J.

He said he was always glad tq meet us in our Con- vention and he was deeply concerned about the work and success of our Convention and we could always depend on him to co-uperate with us along all lines for the promotion of the Kingdom of our Lord; that he thought it would not be long before we could do our work without the ald of the White Convention or the White Baptists.

THE KU KLUX KLAN TICKET No man who seeks or accepts the endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan is entitled anything but contempt from liberty-loving citizens, whether these citizens be white or colored, Protestant or Catholic, Jew or Gentile. We should make every candidate show where he stands. If he is endorsed by the "Invisible Empire," and claims that he did not seek the endorsement, don't let him sneak around and tell you on the Q. T., that it's all a mistake. He got whatever benefit that might be derived from Klan sympathizers, but this published endorsement, therefore, if he is sincere, he should not hesitate to publicly denounce this endorsement in the public press. We should no longer allow such men to successfully carry water on both shoulders! Wichita Klavern No. 6, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, recently announced its support of the following State and County candidates that are to be voted upon in the general election, November 2nd. In cases where there is no contest they endorsed the only man running for the office, and in some cases they made no choice, but you will find below a list of candidates that was endorsed that does have opposition.
