It is a pleasing fact that the Summer School was the best in the history of the school, so expressed by students, teachers and faculty. Every phase of man's life was touched and directed. The faculty seemingly, tried to outdo themselves with entertainment of the teachers, especially Prof. and Mrs. Clement Richardson and Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Scruggs. The meals were first class and plentiful, the waiters gave service with a smile and many were the games provided by Miss Louise Richardson. The students claim that the teachers delivered the goods, and the teachers claim that the students worked hard and showed every sign of advancement. The chapel hours were worthy moments, where we received great addresses and sermonettes by Revs. W. H. Young, J. W. Hayes, C. O. Marshall, W. A. Sharpe, Miss Solomon, Rev. Stamps, Dr. E. L. Scruggs and Prof. Clement Richardson. Those who remained over Sunday enjoyed spiritual feasts at the city churches and were ready for work, Monday.

For the President of the Leavenworth Welfare Club to Launch forth a test drive for pledges from the various organizations of this community, for the purpose of establishing a real Mercantile Co-operative Enterprise; A community center—Business for colored people. A welfare movement, An Industrial activity, A self help, Retail Organized force, An aimed at utility, An admirable endeavor. Now, it is up to our people to act, and use their sense of reason. Not how much you know, but how much you do; is the demand. We all want prosperity for our people, and some of us believe it to be both possible and practicable. In fact, I am so concerned by reason of the intelligence and advanced experience which great numbers of our people are witnesses that we should not fear to challenge that which is more vital to our collective material interest. All other races of people are flashing and dashing forward to success with lightning speed in competition—Have monopolized the earth and all that is in it, on it or under it. While we have been standing in the pool of economic stagnation, we are well-wishers standing on the roadside of success putting forth but a feeble effort to help our people but, the time is now here; NOW, when we must spring forth in a co-operative effort which will tend to better our condition commercially. Do you know that colored people have to pay more for the commodities of life and most of the time, of an inferior quality at That? We make more noise than those that are in the actual possession of prosperity and success, Crying, "Whoo-Pee! What of you is going to win? instead of getting into the race ourselves, It seems as though nobody has the time to notice those that are standing still; hence, no response. Who is bindering us from looking after our own business interests? "We can do that as well as we can Teach in the Schools, Practice Law, and Medicine, Build Fraternal Halls and Sacred Churches." When I see this, I know that we are capable and have every power, (Though Latent) to do business for, and by our people. It is possible for us to open up a business; a store for instance. To employ a few persons; Putting ourselves in a position to aid to this number gradually—A store that will demand the respect and patronage of other people as well as our own To carry most every line of "commodities needed," and used by our people. The wholesale people of the world don't know that we are here. Let's get acquainted with them. Maybe, they can put us next to how to do business. At least we will be in the proper position. There are some good business places in our home town—Right here—Let's join in on this constructive idea; which needs to be done in every city, town or community; Wherever there are enough of our people to support a business. Once get the structure of this idea built up in the brain, and it's next to impossible to tear it down again. How to produce prosperity for our race is not a puzzle; The vital economic questions have been solved. Don't let it be said any longer, that we live in the 20th century, and Think in the 18th.—Show me what you mean by a saved race—"I believe it means that we have the ability to master all conditions, and are honest, just, willing, and sacrificing enough to use that ability to the end of our strength. To vitally improve our economic and social standing. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CH. At 9:30 a. m. The session of our Bible School was opened by the Supt. Mr. R. V. Perkins. There was much interest manifested in the study of the lessons by the teachers and the scholars. The attendance was very good, including visitors. The Junior Church meeting opened at 10:30 a. m. They were favored with a splendid address by Miss Cora Vaughn, Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. Her subject, "Love," was selected from the 1st Cor. 18th chapter — "That love was the fulfilling of the law. Hate, is the greatest evil destroying the law. Our Pastor Rev. C. E. Brooks, preached at 11 a. m. from Josh. 24; 16; "Chose ye this day whom ye will serve." "A decision must be made, a choice between right and wrong." The A. C. E. League held an interesting meeting at 6 p. m. The S. S. teachers' meeting was held on Tuesday evening. Friday afternoon, the members of the Mite Mission Society held meeting at the parsonage. WORTHWHILE CONSIDERATION LEAVENWORTH KANS., July 3, DEAR FRIENDS: I am taking this method of informing you of a movement on foot to organize the colored people into a number of commercial groups thruout the country; I therefore, take great pleasure in enclosing you a circular, summarizing in a small way, the fundamental principles of this idea which, if carried to a conclusion, will be of vital importance to every colored person in the United States. While nearly every race has been building up business that has made them as a people, economically independent, we as a race have been standing still. Above all; in recent years the colored people have found themselves being crowded out of most of the jobs they formally held other races have stepped in and rooted us out until it is high time that we as a race were beginning to lo something for ourselves—Unlike the Jew, we have done nothing to counteract that which is constantly sapping our commercial rights and liberties. Several centuries ago, the Jewish people found themselves in practically the same predicament. It was left to a Moses to lead them out of the wilderness and, to a Joshua to fight their battles—We have neither Moses nor Joshua, so it is up to us as a race to fight our own battles. Until recent times nearly every nation in Europe had been building up tariff walls for the soul purpose of closing out the Jewish people. But the Jew, "That hearty son of Abram, Isaac and Jacob," had studied the ways of the Egyptians and, with all the knowledge gleaned from them, they organized unto an economical industrial group and built up for himself an economical independence. The firm does not exist that can hope to compete with the business Jew—So strong has he become thru organization. Now the idea of a clearing house owned and operated for and by the colored people (A commercial business) is an idea that has been growing in the hearts and minds of most of our thinking people until now there is a movement to organize a co-operative unity that will be the destruction of exactly those barriers which a jealous national spirit has tended to erect these many years. Co-operation in economical policy must be the motto of the future if we ever hope to succeed, In business or otherwise. It is the intention and the desire of this movement to organize and industrialize on a genuinely modern progressive plane and, we are asking your friendly co-operation in helping to get this idea before every body in your community. It is the desire of this movement to relieve our people "to some extent at least" of some of the ever increasing burden being constantly heaped upon us. This movement, if carried out, will tend to make our people economically and industrially independent. It will put us in a position to match our dollar with the dollars of other races. "Only by matching our dollar with the dollar of the white man,, can we ever hope to succeed in the economic world. When we wake up to the fact that it is money that talks, we will be well on the way to economic prosperity, with all of the right accorded an intelligent citizen. To assert one's personality in this world, one must be conscious of his own dignity and independence and, it is certain that many do not possess this sentiment as yet; So let's all get together and dignify ourselves by some competitive industrial enterprise. This, I believe to be the first collective attempt of the colored people to create a harmonious industrial movement in the history of the world. All we need is encouragement, backed up by popular subscriptions to put the thing thru. Same subscriptions make your club become stockholders of so many shares of stock, according to the amount of moneys subscribed by stock. This is not a while-cat speculation but a bonafide effort to poll each city in the United States to determine ut financial strength with the idea of economically bettering the condition of our people in each community. If we can get co-operation on this matter it will be possible to create a business in most cities where there's enough of our people to support a business. Also opening up a few more jobs to those who perhaps are now out of work. All money's pledged should be turned over to some reliable colored business man in your community (rome one carefully selected for the purpose) who will make a report to the central office as, to results. It would also be advisable to select a few men and women who have 5 Carrollton Happenings WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MISSISSISSIPPI-By Henry A. Martin, HEADQUARTERS AT CARROLLTON, MISS. Tid-bits of Society.

Miss Frieda Hemphill of St. Louis, had some experience in the business world; Because, if this movement goes through; "Which It Will," if everybody co-operates; you will need that staff to operate a community store within your own city. It is the intention of this movement to organize so, that colored people throut the United States can buy and sell from, and to colored people at cost prices or, prices that are not prohibitive. Not that we have anything against the white man's trade—Some of them, are fine business men—but the time has come when we must seek our independence from a commercial standpoint, in a competitive business against him. The time is now here when we must help ourselves. He can't or won't help us. So it is up to us to help ourselves and, as has been stated in circular: We must get into the business world in order to help ourselves. You're most sincerely. JAS. A. B. CONE, President Leavenworth Welfare 302 Klowa St. Leavenworth, Kauai Five Cents Per Copy 'ME AND CLYDE' ARKANSAS CITY TRAVELER The dreams of the various Republican candidates for the governorship apparently are disturbed by the same apparition. Four gubernatorial aspirants have dropped into The Traveler office for a chat in recent weeks. Oddly enough, all of them have talked politics. And in each case The Traveler's political detective has sought diligently to learn the grass-roots truth about a much muddled situation. "You fellows have been traveling about meeting the voters" the newspaper man has said each time, making a neat approach, shot: "now tell me the low-down on this governor business. Between what two candidates is the real race?" And each time the candidate has blushed a little, coughed becomingly, and breathed up from the depths of his abdomen the answer: "Me and Clyde Reed."

(C. 1918 Western Newspaper, Atlanta.) Lesson for July 22 LESSON TEXT—Actus 9 19-30; 18:25. 24 GOLDEN TEXT—And straitway he preached Christ in the synagogue that he is the Son of God. PRIMARY TOPIC—Faul Begins to Work for Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul's First Work for Jesus INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Saul Champione an Unpopular Cause. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Years of Growing Experience. 1. Saul Preached Christ in Damascus (vv. 10-22). 1. Saul's fellowship with the disciples (v. 10). After Saul was baptized he remained certain days with the believers in Damascus (v. 10) How beautiful to think of the transformation which took place—the one who was so passionately bent on their destruction was now enjoying fellowship with the disciples. 2. Straightway preaching in the armagnes (v. 20). Saul, like every one who is really converted, begins to tell of the newly found Savior. As soon as he is saved he goes to save others. 3. The people amazed (v.21). They knew that the very one that had been the ringleader in persecuting the Christians in Jerusalem, and had come to Damascus for the express purpose of bringing them bound to the chief priests, was now passionately advocating that which he had so vehemently sought to destroy 4. The Jews confounded (v.22). Saul retired into Arabia for three years. During this time he was taught the full truths of his ministry. II. Saul Escapes From the Jews (vv.23-25). He used the Scriptures with such skill that the Jews could not answer him. Finding that the argument was against them, the Jews took counsel how they might destroy Saul. So intent were they upon killing him that they watched the gates of the city day and night that they might take him. When this became known to the disciples, they let him down from the wall by night in a basket. III. Saul Visits Jerusalem (vv. 26-29). This journey to Jerusalem was in strange contrast with the one from Jerusalem to Damascus. The one was as a leader of an important expedition under the authority of the Jewish officers with the prospect of a place of distinction in the council of the Jewish nation. Now he is an outcast, disowned by his countrymen, and feeling for his life. 1. Suspected by the disciples (v. 20) The believers at Jerusalem had not heard fully about Saul's conversion. They knew nothing of his sojourn in Arabia, and his preaching at Damascus after his return. Therefore they regarded him as a spy. 2. Barnabas' confidence in Saul (v. 27). Barnabas was a man filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 11:24), therefore able to discern the reality of Saul's conversion. He was in reality a "Son of consolation" and in this instance showed his kind spirit. 3. Saul in fellowship with the disciples (v.28). They went in and out together Peter received him in his home where in be abode fifteen days (Gal. 1:18). 4. Saul disputes with the Grecians (v.29). He was not content merely to visit with the brethren. He spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. A conspiracy similar to that one at Damascus was formed against Saul. When the brethren knew of it they sent him to Tarsus. Saul's life was in danger everywhere except among the Gentiles. He now is back at the place of his birth. The first and best place for one's testimony is in his home. Saul's conversion was typical of the conversion of the Jewish nation. Their eyes will be opened by a personal revelation of Jesus Christ to them, and when they accept Him as their Savior and Messiah, they will go forth as witnesses to the Gentiles. V. Saul Teaching at Antioch (11:25, 26). The work at Antioch so prospered in the hands of Barnabas that he went to Tarsus for Saul to help him in the work. Saul returned with Barnabas and ministered for a whole year. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. This name resulted from Saul's teaching, instead of being given in derision, as is frequently taught. God's Program The program of God is not concerned with time. With Him a thousand years are as a day. We are too short-lived to criticize His providence. In the rolling years He has wrought wonders, but a short sight fails to see it—Methodist Protestant. Reminder From God B. Y. P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES. SUBJECT: What Our Denomination Is Doing For Young People. 2 Tim. 1:3-14. Youth is the period of infinite possibilities. It has been said, "The world moves forward on the feet of children." Hence, the challenge to make the greatest possible investment in the youth of the age. If we are to do anything for the present generation, we must do it now. The N. T. Church is trying to educate the youth and prepare it to live best and be the greatest blessing to others. It is seeking to draw out all the latent powers of youth and harness them for the Master's Service. Paul, in our lesson delivers to Timothy an educative message, gives God thanks and holds in memory, when in prayer, his son Timothy. His desire is to see Timothy, and remind him of his rich religious ancestry. He mentions the religious atmosphere in which Timothy had lived all his days. The young preacher is admonished not to be asame of the testimony of Jesus Christ and to be a partaker of the affictions that accompany the Gospel. He calls attention to God's free Grace and Holy calling, independent of our works, but in accord with His purpose and grace, through Christ from eternity "the eternal purpose of God" now made manifest through Christ who has out-awed, abolished, struck out death and has brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. Paul's triune office is evident. I am appointed a preacher, which is a herald, a proclaimer. I am appointed an apostle, which is one sent forth, I am appointed a teacher, which is causing another to know. What our denomination does for the youth should be governed by the passion of the prophets, apostles and Christ, who valued the youth of the world and strove to give it every opportunity to make the most of its life. QUESTIONS: Is the Baptist Denomination doing as much for its youth, in proposition to its numbers, as any other denomination? Are Baptists sufficiently interested in the vocational outlook or its youth? Do Baptists have their share of official positions in their community? Does the Baptist attitude toward politics hinder their official opportunity? What should the youth expect of the denomination, and what should the denomination expect of the youth? Paul expected much of Timothy, and Timothy expected much of Paul. It is a mutual co-operation. Osawatomie Doings Sunday School at Ebenezer Baptist Church, was good. Miss Ruth Reed, teacher of Class No. 2, was absent on account of illness. Class No. 4 was banner class; lesson review by Mrs. John Threet, which was very helpful. Remarks by Rev. M. J. Jackson and Supt. Mrs. Sam Reed. The girls are taking much interest in the S. S. S. work. Misses Early Mae Smith and Juanita Harrell have done the blackboard work, the last two Sundays, which was much appreciated by Supt. and offices. Church services were good; it being No. 3's day, Deacon Elijah Smith, Capt. had charge of the service, with prayer meeting and was enjoyed by all because the spirit was with us. in our efforts. At the night service, Bro. Julius Jackson preached, and though being a young preacher, he showed his willingness to obey the command to preach the Gospel as best he could. Mrs. Nancy Jackson was able to attend service Sunday night. Miss Ruth Reed is a little improved. Miss Helen Monroe visited her, Sunday morning and carried some fruit, which was appreciated. The authorized committee will give a free reception at the Baptist Church, Tuesday night, July 24, for the purpose of a membership drive for the N. A. A. C. P., Invitation is extended to all.

U., at 6:30, with the President and teacher in charge. Lesson taught by Deacon Elijah Smith. Many good thoughts were brought out on the lesson by the young people. Two new members were added to the Union Sunday night, July 8th. The Union is working up much interest by appointing different ones to teach the lesson from time to time. Thursday, July 3rd, Rev. R. G. Grimes of Topeka, Kansas, preached for us, who chose for his text Hebrews 12:1: Let us ley aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. What a wonderful message, he laid upon our hearts the true way to follow Jesus and also pictured to us the many different kinds of weights that beset the Christians in this life. Mrs. Mamie McCray was called to Marianna, Ark., to the bedside of her mother, Mrs. Malinda Yancy Sewell.

RESOLUTIONS GARDEN CITY, KANS., April 12, 1928—Amidst the shifting scenes of life we find the curtain again rolled back giving a picture of our God's great handwork in this great transformation of a beloved friend and brother. As an honorary member and past patron of the Eastern Star, his passing marks the closing of a life of loyalty and efficiency. The true value of this life thrust its long span of years cannot be measured by man, but God alone. In this day, when a man's value is measured in materialistic terms, according to his dollars or dirt that he owns, or owns him, we forget that the outward is delusive rather than conclusive, and we forget that ones true valuation lies in his humanitarian service to his fellowman. This, our transformed brother, as every man must do in life, discovered his world and began to explore it. In this realm, as the metal lies beneath the mass of the mountain wealth, below the waves, the stars behind the shifting sheen of the sky, may be found the true treasure of this our brother's well spent life. Now unto our Lord Jesus Christ, who art the resurrection and the life, in whom, whosoever believeth shall live, though he dies, and whosoever liveth and believeth in Thee, shall not die eternally; we ask that true faith be worked in us who are left behind, so that when our summons come to join that innumerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm, that we also, might be sustained and soothed by that unaltering trust in Thee as our refuge and strength. Our resolution to our brother and friend. THE ORDER OF EASTER STAR Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God in His wise providence to take out of the world the soul of our Bro. and Rev. G. P. Henderson, and; Whereas, our Rev. Henderson was a faithful minister of Jesus Christ and a member of Southwessern District Association; We recomend, that we bow our heads in humble submission to him, who doeth all things after the council of his own will. We further recommend that we extend our deepest sympathies to the bereaved wife and relatives and commend them to Him, who is able to succor and sustain them. J. W. Hayes, Moderator. Rev. Wm. McIveen, Pres., of Ministers Union. Mrs. Mae Buckner, Pres., S. S. Convection Mrs. Carrie Anderson, Pres. B. Y. P. U. Mrs. I. F. Bates, Woman's Home and Foreign Mission RESOLUTIONS GARDEN CITY, KANS., April 12, 1928, we the members of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, desire to express our heartfelt sympathy in the removal of our beloved pastor, Rev. G. P. Henderson, who served us faithfully for 21 years, our loss is heaven's gain. Hence, we bow to the beast of Almighty God, who doeth all things well. For the past year, his affection has been of such that he could not be with us very often; yet we have met and carried on the work through prayer and song. About 2 weeks before his death, he held his last service upon his sick bed, in this imaginary service; he called upon the members to sing and pray as in a real service. In his death the church has lost a faithful pastor, the wife, a devoted husband, the community, a loyal citizen. He fought a good fight, he finished his course, he kept the faith. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be given to the family and also spread upon the face of the minutes of the church. Deacon, Bro. Jerry Lewis Sister Etta Washington, Clerk Pro tem.

Now dear aunt, I did not get your message in time to reach there for the funeral. I regret very much, I could not come to you in my sorrow, but I pray God's blessings will ever hover around you in this great strain; and hope you will be able to consider that uncle's loss to us is heaven's gain. Now dear aunt, I trust you will live the life that when the just judge shall call all that are in the grave to life again, in the great day of judgement (St. John 5:28,29) there ye shall see your loving companion, and my dear uncle standing before the bar of justice to render to God an account of his stewardship here. So now dear aunt, don't weep; for uncle is not dead but has fallen asleep in the arms of Jesus. I will notify the others of uncle's death, lose, with much love to you, family and friends in Garden City. Answer when you feel settled in mind. Your loving nephew. J. B. NEFF. NEWTON, KANS.

OBITUARY GARDEN CITY, KANS. April 12, 1928—Rev. George Peter Henderson was born in 1846, march 10th, Saline Co., Mo., died April 18, 13:30 a.m. m. 1928 at Garden City, Kansas, Age 62 years, 28 days. At a very early age, he was converted and baptized into the 2nd Bartist Church by Rev. B. Robinson of Kansas City, Mo., and shortly afterwards he entered into the ministry, and was known as "the boy preacher." Some of his pas-tor-tories were Olathe, Kansas, Chandler, Okla., 10 years at the Independent Baptist Church, Leavenworth, Kans., and the 2nd Baptist church, Garden City, Kansas. He closed his lifework with this the Ebonezer Baptist Church having given 21 years of service. He was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Jane Fantry, Oct. 29, 1908, Garden City, Kansas. As a wife, our observation has been that she has served most faithfully and devotedly, constantly at his side; always and ever ready to minister to his wants and needs as a patient nurse, she has no plier; her endurance is incomparable, surely, she stands with a clear conscience before man and God. He was a kind and considerate husband, always thinking of her comfort. His last words were, "I am ready and willing to go." He instructed the children to be faithful, and to "meet me in the great beyond where eternity rolls." His last song "Reach Down My Soul and Converse a While Witir Death;" Hence like a shock of corg, he came to full maturity and was gathered. Besides his wife, he leaves a number of relatives and friends to mourn his departure. CONDOLENCE PRATT KANS To the bereaved wife and relatives: To the bereaved wife and relative: We extend to you our heartfelt sympathy in this your sorrow. But remembering the Lord permitted Rev, Henderson to live long to preach the Gospel; and he was the means of many coming to Christ. His aches and pains are no more. He has gone to that celestial city whose builder and maker is God and where ```markdown ``` The Negro Star—For the Good of the People there is no night; but all is peace, happiness, joy and contentment. We have the blessed hope that some day if we live a faithful Christian life, we will meet him beyond this vail of tears, where parting will be no more. Knowing that the Almighty Father doth all things for the best, we bow in humble submission to His will. Weep not for this departed saint, who has gone to his heavenly home To be at rest with the Father, No more o'er this earth to roam. His voice is hushed among us. But his work will live on and on, As one of God's faithful ministers, And his work was well done. It's a wonderful blessing to be true To the trust God has given you, And to bear your cross bravely, When all the world seems against you But Bro. Henderson's labor was nbt in vain.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9,1927 TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR: My Dear Colaborator: At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topeka, Oct. 4, 1927, the Convention adopted the more modern plan for carrying forward our Missionary and Educational work (both Home and Foreign) and in fact for carrying forward all our Convention obligations. Our plan calls for $10,000 annually. The plan adopted at the Convention was that $6,700,000 be apportioned directly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Conventions of the State and District Associations and Auxiliaries. The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the monthly or quarterly plan preferable because the State obligations are due monthly. For instance, if 25 churches give $5.00 each monthly, it mean $125.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $75.00, and 75 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $350.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations a n d money to apply on National Convention requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Officers give this your hearty support! The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please read this letter to the Church and l ad them forth in this much needed and business-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Ministries at the last Board Meetings and the amount for each of the Churches of $6,700.00 was suggested and accepted. The amount for your Church is in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request. We p.ay it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, beginning this month. Please pray for our work as the Missionary Pastors must carry on and the educational work must not be neglected. We are the Lord's and the work is His command. He will make possible if we only trust Him. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully. W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. BOSS, Executive Body A. W. ROSS, Executive Secy. and Sunt. of Missions.

Sieffkin was taken from the El Doyado Times. The writer was secretary of the Sedgwick County Republican Central committee at the time Mr. Sieffkin was chairman in 1920. He sacrificed his time and practice that he might be actively engaged in the canp pagn work. He was the best chairman Sedgwick had had for years and there has not been one his equal since that time. He is capable, knows fundamental law, is well liked and an assiduous worker. The Times story in part: "George Selfkin, of Wichita, is a candidate for the Republican nomination for associate justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, seeking the place on the bench now held by Justice Richard J. Hopkins. Mr. Selfkin is a member of the legal firm of Foulston Holmes, Eaton, Selfkin & Foulston and has an enviable standing before the bar of Kansas. While Mr. Sietkin is only 34 years old and is rightly considered a young man, his experience and accomplishments have been such—in the eyes of his friends—to equip him well for the office he seeks. A resume of his life and experience will set forth this conderation fully. He was born in Northwestern Iowa moved to Kansas in 1907 and spent the Summer of that year on a ranch near Dodge City. His family move, to Newton, where he entered school that Fall and continued in school there until he was graduated from high school in 1911. He attended the State Agricultural College at Manhattan for the years of 1912 to 1914. He entered the University of Chicago low school in the Summer of 1914 and was graduated from it in the Fall of 1916 with an LL. B. degree. His Summers during school years were spent either with the harvest and threshing gang in Western Kansas, or on a concrete or paving gang at Newton. He helped to lay much of the sidewalk and curb and gutter work that Newton now numbers among its improvements. During his last year in Chicago he was connected with the Legal Aid Bureau, handling charity cases as investigator, and he spent a short time in practice with this same organization after his graduation from law school. With the exception of the time spent in the army, he has practiced continuously in Wichita since February, 1917, with the firms of Holmes, Yankey and Holmes and Stanley, Stanley & Hegler, and a member of the firms of Hasty, Siefkin & Hasty; Foulston, Ebright, Siefkin & Foulston and Foulston, Holmes, Eaton, Siefkin & Foulston. In 1920 he was appointed city prosecutor and served in that capacit until his resignation in 1927. Mr. Slefkin handled his first Supremes Court case within three month after the time he commenced practice and has been constantly engaged in briefing work since that ROOFING! How Is Your Roof? ESTIMATES FREE! THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO. "EVERYTHING FOR THE BUILDER" 145 Lawrence. Mkt. 589 time. He has bound volumes of briefs prepared for clients or district courts which contain over 3,000 pages. He has briefed 112 cases in the appellate courts. If success or ability be measured by cases won and lost on appraisal by the court, he will to success with 63 cases won, 38 for and 11 bending and undisposed of. Mr. Siefkin proposes no reform of the Supreme Court, well knowing the futility of such contention. White he has no platform, he does possess several enticitations which he believes are justified, and which he shall, if elected hope to have some part in correcting. Criticism of Court In this connection Mr. Sueffkin says, "I think that the elaborate and extended statements of facts which accompany most of the decisions of our Supreme Court of the decisions of our Supreme Court are unnecessary and vicious. Some statements are unnecessary because they unduly prolong an opinion. They are vicious for the reason that each new case can be distinguished from the former on that facts, i.e., the present case involved a white horse, whereas, the case decided last month involved a black horse. It is my opinion that no case is so complicated that the major propositions can be clearly stated in a new word, and that the application of the law to a clearly stated proposition of fact is reduced to a comparatively simple task. I believe that when the law is once stated that it should remain the law unless there appear to be very good reasons for a change, and when a change is made, the old decisions on the question should be definitely and distinctly overruled. The failure to follow this fundamental principle has been the cause of much uncertainty in the law that no lawyer can safely advise his client as to future action. It has also resulted in hundreds of appeals which should not have been taken. It has been my practice to appeal nearly every important decision which I lost in the lower court, and I believe my record has justified such policy. 'I am opposed to the practice which permits the same judge to state the law in a majority opinion and in a dissenting opinion to show that the law is incorrect. I am further opposed to the practice of disregarding an unrejudicial, errors committed in the lower court. It is my opinion that if an error is committed which may have the effect of prejudicing the rights of a party that the case is pursued for a new trial and that such a judgment should that counsel can not prove such errors actually prejudiced their client, a thing which is impossible in most cases.' Youth Is No Bar In defense of Mr. Slefkins youth, his friends point to the fact that in appalate work he has had more experience than any member of the present bench, with the possible exception of Justice Hutchinson, and if the question of age be one for consideration, it has been suggested that he is a year older than Justice David Brewer, when he first went on the bench, and approximately a year younger than the present Chief Justice. Geographically, Wichita has a claim to consideration for court representation. Wichita always has had a strong bar but has never had a member of the Supreme Court in the history of the state. The closest justice from a standpoint of geography have been Justice Green of Newton, and Justice Marshall of Howard, and Winfield. On the other hand, there have been three justices from Garden City, two of whom are candidates for re-election in the present election." NOTICE! The Southwest District Association and Auxiliaries: My Dear Brethren: We are coming to the close of another year. August the 14th to 19th marks the close, at which time we are to meet in Hutchinson, Kansas, with the Second Baptist Church, Rev. Crawford, Pastor. Brethren, our work needs the attention, and God is depending upon us to do our duty which can only be done by having our local work do its part in every way. Each member of the District should know by this time that $1.25 per member is the annual requirement. It may be paid Twenty-five (25c) Cents at each quarterly board, and Fifty (50c) Cents at the annual meeting. This covers the financial requirement. The local church may, if it desires, divide these moneys equally between the State and District, keeping however, $0, itself an accurate record. Let each Pastor begin now to collect these moneys, that there be no gathering when it all comes.

SPECIAL APPEAL All Balance Due the Association for 1926 and 1927, has been can- celled, hoping you will make a Special Effort to pay In full, the amount asked of you at this session, as we cannot meet our obligations to the State Convention, District and Pastors. Therefore it will be impossible for the Pastors to stay on their small fields of labor, We are asking the Churches and thelr Auxiliaries, and every Minister and Deacon to do his best to pay according to the Association levy, Each church shall be responsible for its auxiliaries. Each Deacon is requested to send up 25c each quarter, or One Dollar for the year by their Pastors. By this means only, is the Ministers and Deacons’ Un- fon supported; and unless this appeal is met by one hundred per cent, we cannot assist our Missionary Pastors, and therefore the small fields will be void of the Gospel Services and Kingdom Building.

Carmel, Topeka; Mt. Sinal, Topeka. The present gubernatorial campaign in Kansas is interesting to one who has long been active in the political affairs of our state. From all indications which will be held on the 7th of next month, will result in the selection of the best qualified candidate for governor on the Republican ticket. While the Topeka corporation lawyer, J. D. M. Hamilton, is making a desperate effort to land a big vote in the capital city, he forgets that voters outside Shawnee County are not enthusiastic over the idea of corralling all the important public offices for Topeka folks. Kansas Republicans believe in fair play, and are not ready to give Topeka the governorship honor along with two U. S. Senators, national committeeman, U. S. federal judge, and the great percentage of State House patronage. In this election there are Republican candidates for governor who do not happen to live in Topeka; they are seasoned with experience in public service and would bring honor to Kansas if elected to the high office of governor. These men have a perfect right to resent this fast increasing Topeka domination, and they ware Kansas Republicans to heed the challenge of J. D. M. Hamilton. 9.00- 9.30-Devotional services, conducted by Rev. A. L. Branch and Rev. E. M. Mosley. Theme: "The Holy Spirit." 11:00-12:00—Annual Sermon, by Rev. H. D. Allen, Kansas City, Kans. Offering. Announcements and Benediction. -AFTERNOON SESSION— 2.00- 2:20—Devotionals, Conducted by Rev. A. J. Grimes, and Rev. L. I. Cobic. Theme: "The Work of The Holy Spirit." 3:20- 4:20—Report of Officers. Moderator, Dr. Jackson's Annual Address. Election of Officers for the year. Offering, Announcements and Redediction. It is most unfortunate that the Hamilton camp forced Senator Curtis, much to his embarrassment, in saying publicly that while he would not work for the Topeka candidate, he would vote for him. Senator Curtis will do this undoubtedly because J. D. M. Hamilton is a neighbor and citizen of Topeka. 7.30- 8:00—Devotionals led by Rev. H. C. Johnson, Rev. R. S. Jones and Rev. P. L. Reggit. Theme: "The Holy Spirit, As a Teacher." EDUCATIONAL NIGHT Address by Dr. Clement Richardson, President of Kansas Vocational College; Topeka, Kansas. Educational Sermon by Dr. E. L. Scruggs, Dean of the Kansas Theological Seminary. Offering. Announcements, Benediction. SATURDAY MORNING SESSION The rank and file of Republican voters outside of Topeka are more concerned in the success of the candidate who runs for office on his own individual record. They believe in rewarding merit and are not in the mood to be dictated to even from the high places, on how they shall cast their ballots. 9.00- 9:30—Devotional services, conducted by Rev. W. W. Ewing and Rev. W. B. Lockett. Theme: Our Relation to The Holy Spirit." 9.30-10.00—Bible Institute, conducted by Dr. J. R. Richardson. 10.00-11:00—Reports of All Committees. 11.00-12:00—Preaching by Rev. J. P. Holmes, Pastor Mt. Zion, K. C. K. Offering. Benediction.
