THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE State Historical Society, W. R. Bates TH FOR T vol. 19, No. 32 GONE TO HER KEWARD After a stroke in early summer, Mrs. Glace Webster improved very little it seems, though having a desire to accompany her mother and sister who had been here with her for a while back to their home in St. Louis, Mo., where she was when the end came. Mrs. Webster in her very quiet way, was loved by those who knew her best. She was a devout member of the A. M. E. Church and did willingly whatever task was assigned her in the Christian work, meeting the world with a smile; thus we can easily surmise she rests with the peaceful beyond, awaiting her call with the countless number gone before and those yet to follow, for the general resurrection. She leaves an untiring devoted husband, faithful, loving mother, patient, attentive daughter and sister, a young son, other relatives and friends who sorrow at saying goodbye; but this being the gate to endless joy through which all must enter, and because of the beautiful life may we find comfort in Him who watches over His children. Mrs. Webster was the wife of Mr. Pusch Webster- Rev. Glass assisted him Rev. Brooks, attended the funeral in a very appropriate manner; this being the most largely attended funeral here for some time, both families being well known and highly respected citizens here where they have lived for a long time. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Miss. Webster's home was 1310 N. Washington Avenue. Funeral services at St. Paul yesterday at 2:30. Jackson Funeral Home had charge. TWO Y. M. C. A.

SCOTT, Moderator. REV. C O. MARSHALL, Gen. Sec. ROSENWALD GIVES ATLANTA SOCIAL WORK SCHOOL $1,000 (Preston News Service) ATLANTA, GA., Oct. 29—Prof. E Franklin Frazier, Director of the Atlanta School of Social Work, has just announced the cash gift of $1,000 by Julius Rosenwald, the multi-millionaire philanthropist, of Chicago, to the School. In addition to this new gift Mr. Frazier states that the Russell Sage Foundation and many national known private philanthropists are regular donors to the school. This is the only professional school of social work in the South and is achieving rapid recognition because of its high standard and scholastic requirements. Every graduate of the school in its seven years of existence has found an excellent position, and the executives have calls for workers which they are unable to fill because of the comparatively small enrollees. The present enrollment is the largest the school has known and represents a considerable variety in geographical interests. In addition to the regular courses, the 1926-27 curriculum provides for two extension courses under the direction of Dr Samuel Kahn, eminent neuro-psychiatrist, and Mr. E. Franklin Frazier, besides some special lectures from nationally known sociologists and a Mental Hygiene Institute under the supervision of the American Hygiene Association.

ANNOUNCEMENT Morning Service, 11 a m. Sermon- Theme; "Material and Spiritual Eat- ing." 8 p. m. Sermon—Theme; "Build- ing of the Rich Farmer." WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Oct. 29, 1926 XXX After the final roll call, the distributions of promotion cards and handing in of reports which mark the end of a school year filled with a myriad of impulses of energetic yearning children to-ordinated and directed according to a system of training making for acquisition of knowledge, or education, the teacher like specialized and technical workers and administrators in other fields of sociological endeavor feels the call of nature to its great open spaces of rest and recreation; or the charm of distant cities with their varied industries and activities, attractions and contact, or the guided halls of advanced institutions where intensive training designed to more qualify the already trained to better direct the education of the child and youth committed to her guidance is given. With something like a combination of these several objectives in mind I undertook on the 17th of June following the close of school to journey from our beloved and beautiful Wichita, North and East to the great metrolis of America and the State of New York, on the coast of the mighty Atlantic Ocean and there sit at the thrine of wisdom to acquire the most advanced and improved methods in the training of little children as developed by that greatest of educational centers, Columbia University. I have been asked by our good pastor to give a short talk on my trip this Summer, and although the special work taker and the immediate contact and surroundings connected therewith, its relation to my daily effort in directing the development of the minds of the children of our community necessarily holds the most vivid place in my mind, the great section of these United States, extending East of Wichita, out of Kansas into Missouri, through Iowa and across Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, stupendous in its magnitude, marvelous in its variegated grandeur of nature's unsullied beauty, imposing in its evidence of the skill and ingenuity, art and industry of man who has here erected the greatest social, industrial and commercial centers that the world has ever known cannot but impress one in a never-to-be forgotten manner and is a source of practical knowledge of the things upon which our civic and economic progress and prosperity stand. Time will not permit of a detail narrative at this time. I therefore choose to briefly refer to some of the more prominent places and events of my trip. At Kansas City, my first stop, I had the pleasure of hearing an instructive and interesting talk by Rev. Peck who had just returned from a month's tour of the Southland; from there I sped to Chicago, and in an 'numerable multitude attended the Eucharistic Congress of the Catholic Church, the greatest and largest gathering of church people in the world. The dignity, solemnity, servor and devotion of this magnificent gathering is a thing of beauty, sublime in its effect and lasting in its impressiveness. Chicago, the giant mid-continent metropolis of America, with all of its bigness of size, events, interests and activities pauged to pay tribute to this gathering of devout Christian workers inhere giving evidence of recognition and appreciation of the vital place of the spiritual force as a compelling power in the life of man. And strange to say, but here in this reviled city of reputed crime and actuated evils, one finds a refreshing atmosphere of fundamental human stability evidencing a widespread determination to preserve the tenets of human contact and endeavor, focused on the principles of justice and equality among men. In no city of our country is the spirit of freedom so abundantly displayed by the separate groups constituting the whole as is discerned everywhere in Chicago. Do not understand me to mean that prejudice, discrimination and injustice do not exist, but they are met and challenged and curtailed in a reassuring manner, in consequence of which in government and industry and education and business and the vital activities of life Chicago has become a haven for the aggressive and aspiring member of every group. Out of this wholesome environment the Negro is developing a civic, economic and business life which is at once the pride and adoration of the race. An interesting feature of my stop in Chicago, was a visit to Hull House of international fame, known and revered for its genuine social uplift work. A place designed for foreign speaking people where the outcast and friendless is welcomed and cared for in a substantial manner. Here, they are instructed in reading and writing, given an opportunity to learn a trade and started out in life with renewed confidence in them selves and faith in humanity. Hull House in its ministrations to the needy, has touched the hearts of humanity and nations all over the world and made the name of its, founder, Jane Adams, one of the foremost in the field of social service accomplishments. From Chicago, I went to Columbus, the capitol of Ohio, where the State University is located. Columbus has a population of 240,000—27,000 of whom are Negroes. It has over 601 diversified industries the most important or which are engaged in the making of steel railroad cars, mining machinery and shoes. Here I visited with Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence and their two sons formerly residents of Wichita. Dr. Lawrence is succeeding splendidly in the practice of his profession. I also met Mrs. H. Hurst, formerly of our city and spent an enjoyable visit with her. From Columbus, I traveled for a day and a half through Ohio, Penn, and New York to New York City. On nearing N. Y. City, I was impressed by the tall narrow houses and tall slender poplar trees. You travel for three hours in the city before you reach the station. Greater New York has an area of 300 square miles and in this respect is the largest city in the world. It is second in size of population with more than 6,000,000 inhabitants. It has 15 passenger stations. I will describe one: The Penn., station occupies two entire blocks and with underlying and adjoining yards, covers nearly six blocks. The main entrance leads to the waiting room through an arcade 225 feet long and 45 feet wide, bordered on both sides by shops. On the first level a few steps below the street is the general waiting room with its lofty mellow cream tinted stone columns. Below this is another waiting room for trains to beaches and many N. Y., suburbs. From this floor tubes or underground tunnels lead out in all directions, one of which goes under the Hudson River through Bergen Hill to New Jersey. Eastward from the station two tubes extend under the city streets. Four tubes carry tracks under the East River, and it was through one of these that I went to Brooklyn, where I roomed while in N. Y. It took one hour to go from the station to Brooklyn, my first long ride under the ground. The subway street cars are long electric trains consisting of 6 to 10 cars. They operate by an electric button similar to our electric lights. The day following my arrival I visited the church of Rev. Adams and got ac- (To be continued) HISTORY OF THE C.T.C. The Coleridge-Taylor Conservatory was opened in Wichita, June, 1921 and with one pupil on roll. This one pupil was all that enrolled for weeks since that time the roll has been on the steady increase. At the present there are between 75 and 100 students, studying at the C. T. C. This made larger place a necessity. The courses taught now are Piano, Harmony, Violin, and Voice. These courses were taught by Miss Sims until the Fall of 1922, when Miss Fannie Mae Bailey of Paris, Texas, was added as teacher in the Piano Department; and the Fall of 1925, when the services of Mrs. Odelle Gray of Chicago, was secured. She is now head of the voice department. The C. T. C., students have on the average of 50 engagements each year. They serve at all churches, in and out of town. There are about ten girls of the C. T C., now playing in the different churches of the city, and two in Newton, Kansas. Some are regular organists of Sunday Schools, Leagues, or B. Y. P. U. This will give you an idea of how the Conservatory is serving this city and neighboring towns. Letters have been received by Miss S.ms from former students who have moved to other places, expressing to her their greatfulness for starting them off in music and encouraging them to keep up their music. Thru careful planning, the bills of the Conservatory have been kept up to date; all of the furniture cleared of debt with exceptions of the Grand piano. Over $1,000 have been spent for usual payments and up-keep of the Conservatory since Jan. 1, 1925. This money has been raised from entertainments of various kinds and from Miss Sims' meager salary. The G. L. A. Club opened a new book of history for the club life of Wichita, by giving a $25.00 scholarship to the piano department of the Conservatory in February 1926. This scholarship was given to Carrie Smith and she has made splendid record and will appear on the children's program at New Hope, Friday evening, June 11th. Mr. L. Weatherwax presented a six months' scholarship to Junior Neely for voice under Mrs. Gray, this year. Dr. Ross W. Sanderson gave $25.00 for starting a Conservatory Library, last Fall. This amount paid for the complete set of Grove's "Dictionary of Music and Musicians." The Adams Music Store gave to the Conservatory, a large Encyclopedia of Music, and 50 copies of Favorite Song Books for the Glee Club, The Glee Clubs were organized the latter part of the summer of 1925. The music and instruction were free to all who cared to join. These clubs have been very loyal to their leader, Miss Sims, and have made very liberal donations to her. She purchased a blackboard for their use, and the men quietly took up an offering among themsclves and gave the cost back to her. The two clubs combined gave the folding chairs to show Miss Sims their appreciation of her service. Up to that time it had been necessary to rent chairs for every large gathering held at the Conservatory. The Orchestra was organized just six months ago. The youngest organization at the Conservatory, and first and only one of its kind in the U. S. A., is the Music Pupila' Parent Association, which was organized with much enthusiasm Wednesday evening. Oct. 27, 1926. This organization is to bring about a closer acquaintance with the teacher and the parents, and a more thorough understanding. The faculty will be enlarged after the Christmas holidays. Many expressions have been presented Miss Sims from time to time, from white and colored people of Wichita, and vicinity. GLANCE AT SOUTHEASTERN BOARD MEETING CHERRYVALE, KANS., Oct. 23 and 22, were days of special religious instructions at the Bethlehem Baptist Church, Rev. Wm. Thomas, Pastor, and Rev. J. S.King, the president of the Ministers and Deacons Union presiding. In the absence of Rev. P. D. Skinner, Rev. J. 1. Elias filled the place with credit. In the absence of Rev. L. T. Thompson, Rev. J. P. Williams filled the place with a splendid sermon, he is also secretary of the meeting. The Deacon and Laymen opened every meeting with much inspiration and spiritual server. Rev. C. Teal gave very stirring argument of "What Baptist Believe." Rev. McAfee delivered the sermon of the hour at 4 p. m., and the audience listened with interest. Business of importance called Rev. S. A. Williams back to Coffeyville, so Rev. C. Teal spoke wonderfully on the "Conquering King." Rev. Z. H. Hickerson was president and Dr. J. W. Hayes of Wichita, delivered a powerful and spiritual sermon, delighted the hearts of all. Editor H. T. Sims spoke twice, once on "Deacon, According to the Bible," and taught a Bible Institute in the place of Dr. P. D. Skinner; seemingly the audience enjoyed all that was said. Rev. S. A. Williams preached a great sermon on "Love," so pla'n and practical. We were especially pleased to meet the great leaders of the Southeastern District and to see them doing a great work. Enroute to the meeting we were blown off our coast by a favorable wind which caused us to look in on Rev. C. Teal at Independence and Rev. S. A. Williams at Coffeyville; we found both of these Divines doing a great and commendable work. Thus we had a great time in the Southeast. THE CITY WIDE UNION REVIVAL All those who are interested in the spiritual improvement of the community are looking forward with a great deal of anxiety to the coming Union Revival. Already, the preparatory Prayer Meetings have begun. Monday, the officers of the several churches met. Thursday, the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., Workers were in a prayer service. This coming Monday, all those who desire to sing in the joint chorus are asked to meet for final instructions and Prayer. Wednesday at 7:30 p.m., a Union Prayer Service will be held at New Hope. Every praying Christian is asked to be present. Rev. Ballou, Prof. and Mrs. Smiley will be in the city, Monday, Nov. 8th to begin the campaign. Let every Christian consecrate himself for this special service. The service will open Monday, Nov. 8th at New Hope, continuing for ten nights and then to Calvary for ten nights. All the singing will be in charge of Prof. Smiley. The chorus will meet Sunday, Nov. 7th at 3 p. m. for organization. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE? During the month of September the Water Street Branch of the Wichita Young Men's Christian Association filled (27) twenty-seven employment situations. 75% were day-lobs, the remaining 25% were for job work, or permanent employment. On October 15th, 17 situations had been secured. The community is beginning to realize that a better type of employment can be secured through a reliable Christian Organization than through any "hit and "Non-reliables" are also to be employment bureau, where "floaters" and miss method," or the established found. So, for reliable workers call Water Street Y, M. C. A. Mkt. 4659. During my incumbency in the office, Mr. Harry C. Caster, who has served as my first deputy during that time, has proven himself efficient, honest and, energetic in the performance of his duties. He now seeks the office of County Attorney and I have no hesitancy in recommending him to my friends and to the voters at large. He is an able lawyer, a vigorous prosecutor and is qualified, by reason of his past four years experience, to give the taxpayer of Sedgwick County good, economical and efficient service. Again thanking you, I am Sincerely W. A. Blake C. E. GROVE FOR SHERIFF DEMOCRATIC TICKET El Dorado News Notes. NOTE FROM UNION BAPTIST Sunday School at 10 o'clock taught by Rev. S. H. Smith, who gave us the tho thouhgt that the Kingdom of God was ours, if we were willing to pay the price.

After heated discussion on the lesson, the pastor took the 12th verse and put the Union to a test by asking if we really love one another, which made a lasting impression. At 8 o'clock the pastor again ascended the rostrum; after a fervent prayer service, in his usual way announced his text from Neh. 6:3; subject: "A Firm Foundation."

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Light Wine and Beer & Meatloe 1. Woes of Those Who Indulge in Wine (v. 20, 30). No more graphic description of the evils of the winebottler has ever been given. It portrays in the most in proactive manner the miseries that attach to the drunkard's life. 1. The awful pain which causes one to cry out, "Oh!" Many indeed are the pains which man suffer because of strong drink. Similarly its innumerable can be traced to its evil influence. 2. The bitter remorse which causes one to cry out, "Alas!" Many are the expressions of bitter regret which come daily from the lips of the drunkard. Sometimes it is the sorrow of disgrace, loss of manhood and self-respect. Sometimes it is the sorrow of poverty of the individual and his family clothing in rags and half starved. Sometimes it is the sorrow of following a broken hearted wife to her grave and seeing his children scattered among strangers. 3. Contention, strife and quarrels. Much of the fighting among men is directly caused by their passions being instilled by strong drink. The drunken man is always ready for a fight, he takes offense as well as gives offense. He not only has these from without, but he has struggles within his conscience and his appetite are warring with each other. 4. Babblings and complainings The winebibber complains of everything, ill luck, broken fortune, ruined health, loss of friends, of fate and of God. 5. Wounds without a cause. These are wounds which might have been avoided from fights in which a sober man would not have engaged and from accidents which are purely the result of intoxication. G. Redness of eyes. This has reference to the blood shot eyes of the tipper which ruins and dins his vision. All these woes come upon those who turry long at wine (v. 30). II. The Attitude Enjoined (v. 31). Look not at it. Do not put yourself in the way of temptation. The only safe attitude toward strong drink is total abstinence, and the only sure way of total abstinence is not to even look at it. III. The Drunkard's Bitter End (vv. 82-35). 1. Acute miseries (v. 32). "It biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." Strong drink, like the poison of the serpent, permeates the whole system and ends in the most fatal consequences, the bitterest sufferings and death. 2. The perversion of the moral senses (v. 33). (1) This excitement causes the eyes to behold strange things. This denotes the fantastic hungues which are produced on the brain of the drunkard. Even when delirium tremens does not result, there are awful fancies which are beyond the possibility of realization. Since carnalust always comes with wine drinking it is no doubt true, as the Authorized Version has it. "Thine eyes shall behold strange women." (2) "Thine heart shall utter perverse things." His moral sense being perverted, his utterances partake of the same. He tells lies, his words cannot be believed. 3. He is insoluble to danger (v. 24). The drunkard is unsteady. His brain reacts to and fro, he is foulbards, even as one who would lie in the top of a ship's mast where there is the greatest danger of falling off. 4. He is insensitive to pain (v. 25). The drunkard is utterly ignorant of what happens to him while under the influence of strong drink. The drunkard has many bruises and wounds for which he cannot account. He did not realize when he received them. 5. His object bounce (v. 35). After all his sufferings, sorrow and disappointment he goes on as a bond- lave to follow the ways of sin. 0. Hell at last, for no drunkard shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven (I Cor. 0:10). The Rock of Ages A sailor in a shipwreck was once thrown upon a small rock, and clung to it, in great danger, until the tide went down. "Say, Joe," asked his friends after the rescue, "didn't you shake with fear?" "Yes," replied Joe, "but the rock didn't." Christ is the rock of Ages—Sabbath Reading. A Work of Art and Skill The work of a fisher (Matt. 4:19) is rather a work of art and skill than of force and violence.—Trench. St. Mary Church Notes Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor. We had splendid service throughout the day, beginning with S. S., which began at its usual hour, 9:30, with Supt. and her staff of officers present; lesson wonderfully taught bl. the teachers, Johana, Israel's new leader. The lesson was reviewed by the the Pastor.

CENTRAL IT is easy for us to condemn white folk to the "bottomless pit" for their inhuman and unfair treatment of colored people. It requires very little courage to write scathing editorials, and make fiery speeches about the unChristian attitude of our white brothers. We do not need much brain to denounce the evils of segregation, disfranchisement and lynching. But it does take courage and brains to check up on our own shortcomings. It is hard to face facts when those facts prove us to be the culprits. And we, like all other human beings, will endeavor to put the blame on somebody else and shift the responsibility for our failures on somebody other than ourselves. But denying the facts and shifting the burden will certainly not help us in our fight for justice and right. Eventually the American Negro must take his share of the burden and march forward with it like a man, why not now? If he would only try it, there is no power under Heaven strong enough to stop him. For more than a half century, we have been talking about the unfairness of the dominant group. Hundreds of books have been written. A few more or less effective protests have been made. Lukewarm appeals by the thousands have fallen short of their mark. Orators by the score have howled themselves hoarse about the iniquity of their oppressors. And the whole time we have been begging for the crumbs that fall from the white man's table. Is it to be wondered at that he has paid no attention to our appeals and our threats? Politically the Negro is losing the little influence he had. The white man pays for the political campaign, naturally he is the beneficiary. Before the campaign gets under way, colored citizens talk about what they are going to do. We say we believe the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is a necessary law—But we will vote for the man who ignores a request to tell us where he stands on that issue. The last Pennsylvania Primary election is a good illustration of that fact. Then we expect Mr. Vare to take us seriously. It is not Mr. Vare's fault it is ours. While we are riding around in high powered automobiles and throwing away our money in foolish amusements even those rights we now have are being taken away. We spend so much time trying to impress folk with what we do not have that we do not have time to look out for the substantial things of life. The white man is responsible for some of our sufferings but we are to blame for a lot of it ourselves. Let us be brave enough to admit it, and begin with all of our strength to do what we should for our own elevation—Philadelphia Tribune. E. B. B. Club Notes On Friday afternoon the members of the club held their meeting in the home of Mrs. S. Edmonson, 602 N. Water. The lesson study, was "Hated and Despised".
