VOTE FOR SARLES REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF A VOTE FOR HIM, MEANS SOMETHING DEFINITE FOR OUR PEOPLE. Vol. 21, No. 17, REGISTER VOTE FOR SA EAR-MARKS OF CRIME IN SOCIETY By Chap. I. K. Hicks, O. R. C. A. G. Post, A. M. L. Pas or, Indiana Church of Christ Detection and punishment have their places in protecting youth, but are not enough. Prevention and social adjustment t are required. Unprecedented dangers lie ahead for the youth, unless better home-ties are sought and applied. They, of necessity are the guide-posts for law and order. Modern social work is scientific and redemptive. Its first ambition is to save and restore broken lives, broken homes, neglected and delinquent children. Its next great effort is to surround growing families with a social environment which makes for health, happiness and training for a useful future. This is also the work of religion. Religion also must have the same high standard and know the fine art of a social worker. The must be a larger place in our religious institutions, in order to protect our communities from dependency and delinquency of the youth. The man who assumes the positio of a husband and a parent, has, by that very fact entered upon a line of action, something continuous, running far into the future, something so fundamental that it modifies and revades his other activities. This holds for any calling in life, e a e h social calling implies a continuous mode of action, binding together into a great whole. Every relationship in life is as it were an expressed contract with others. Every one dilly daily—occupies a social position, if not a parent, he is a child, if not an officer then he is a citizen, of the state; if not purging an occupation he is in preparation for an occupation, or else he is living upon the results of the labors of others. According to Bentham we find "Human Behavior" into reflective, instinctive, habitual, automatic and voluntary acts. The reflective seem excusable of conscious acts; while the instinctive is modifiable by the _volition_or_the w". The habitual requires a definite exercise of the will; the automatic is always accompanied with hand-craft, voluntary is always on the alert for safety and security. When the individual properly and intelligently exercises his mind, he has an unique contribution to society. Below are a few of the ear-marks of crime that we are called upon to reduce and suppress to a minimum, daily: Incomania—A state to sleepiness that denies one of proficiency and increased usefulness. Kleptomania—A wonderful parent has a darling little girl, that continues to appropriate her playmates toys and personal belongings to her satisfaction. She demonstrates the easmark of criminality; what shall we? Python-pneumatic—The patients believe they have been poisoned and want the public to know why they are stricken. They sincerely believe in divination and conjuration; this state approximates insanity. Pyromania—In this instance, the victim must burn something, and has a desire to enjoy himself while the conflagration is in progress; as the Negro played his fiddle when ancient Masterbation—Self-abuse. Sometimes youth resort to this practice, most to lust and passion, which outcome leave them sterile for the race. Wild Oats—A pistol rings out in a combine bell, a man falls, the pistol was loaded with wild oats; a series of deserted babies are found in the snow. Who planted those wild oats? Wild oats grow in the snow. Dreamland—With the Eighteenth Amendment functioning in theory, and motion, it is a unpleasant boom to America. Drinks are like green wood in the hearth; it will stir oak and while the flames are gathering, momentum, most of the sand is dried up, then the wood experiences no difficulty in humming. Fallen laurel—This malady is evidenced in occupation by way of simulation without coherence or knowledge of the act. This is the work of a diseased mind. To assign responsibility to any, it is necessary to know the components of responsibility: (a) there must be tion must be desired, (d) one must GREENLEAF CITES CLYDE M: REED'S SERVICE TO KANSAS The joint statement issued yesterday by J. H. Mercer, secretary of the Kansas Livestock Association; Ralph Snyder, president of the Kansas Farm Bureau; C. E. Huff, president of the Kansas Farmer's Union and Caldwell Davis, Master of the Kansas State Grange, urged farmers to vote for the friends of agriculture, for Congress, for the legislature and for governor. It seems to me this is a patriotic and practical appeal coming from leaders in four of the useful farm organizations of Kansas. It is only reasonable to expect real help in solving farm problems from those candidates who are known to be in sympathy with the farmer's cause. Clive M. Reed, candidate for governor on the Republican ticket has been tried and proven to be an ardent supporter of those principles for which Kansas, farmers stand. For the past fifteen years he has been prominent in state and national affairs, and during the past four years he has championed the farmer's cause in freight rate contests and public utility controversies. Mr. Reed is the outstanding candidate on the Republican ticket who will measure up to the standard set by Kansas farmers. Farmers from one end of the state to the other are cognizant of this fact and in appreciation of his great service to the farm interests of Kansas as well as the state as a whole, more than 75 per cent of the farm vote at the August 7th primary will be for Clyde M. Reed. JESSE W. GREENLEAF, Ch'm, Reed for Governor Committee. know the circumstances. The motive proximately then becomes ultimately the intention. Let us apply to the legal and medical professions to aid us in removing these named earmarks, so that we may properly as the willed act, (b) the actor must intend harm, (c) one's own gratifica-cign criminal responsibility. Are we with the hang-man? Self seeking brings wrong-doings. Since, intention is one of the factors in responsibility, let us analyze our less fellowman in the light of reason and sanity and become more sympathetic. Greater the proportion of good done, less the wrong committee; conversely, less the greater the wrong and turpitude of the act. The causes that bring about partial and total insanity are the-fold disorder. Bodily conduct and mind disorders: Malformation of organ, limb, and function, impairs the body. The ear-marks that are named and described above incapacitate the mind. Acts are done, motions received incites sensations, motions emitted causes volition. The act of reasoning is perception that accounts for conduct. Shall we engage in a movement to check juvenile crime? The youth is a multiplication table while the adult is only a unit. Babies are more important than battles. A little more than a hundred years ago, whole nations we waiting with feverish impatience for news of Napoleon movements; everybody was thinking about the battles that were being fought. And yet which one of the battles of 1809 matters more than the children of 1803? Here are some of the babies that were born that year of the battles, and their influence carried to the edge of the world. William E. Gladstone was born in Liverpool that year; Abraham Lincoln that year drew his first breath in Kentucky. Oliver Wendell Holmes was born in Massachusetts. Chas Darwin was born at Shrewsbury, music has been enriched by the birth of Mendellsohn at Hamburg; vet, everybody was thinking of battles and had little time to think of bables. It is a fine thing to dream herole dreams of a nation, but only a child can make them come true. He is the only one that can grow into fulfillment. If the present influence the future, it will be through the child. Jesus sat a little child in the kingdom to be "Except ye become as this little child, ye can no wise enter WICHITA, KANSAS. FRIDAY, July 27, 1928. ASKING FOR SECOND TERM W. W. Harvey, of Ashland, Kansas, is a candidate for re-election for his second term as Justice of the Supreme Court. Mr. Harvey was born in Kestucky and came to Kansas with his parents in 1877, when he was eight years of age. He was reared on a farm in the southern part of Shawnee county. He taught school for two years in the country and was then principal of the Silver Lake and later of the Rossville Schools, and was for two years the supt. of the city schools at Ellsworth. He attended Strickler's Topeka Business College and worked his way through the State Normal School at Emporia, where he graduated in 1898, since which time he has devoted his attention to the profession of law, most of the time at Ashland, Kans. He has retained his interest in educational matters and in agriculture. His financial interests are in a farm and ranch near Ashland, Kansas, which are operated by his only son, H. S. Harvey, a veteran of the late World War, who spent one year over seas. He has served as county attorney, assistant U. S. attorney, and was for several terms a member of the Legislature, and was Speaker of the House of Representatives in 1921. Six years ago he was elected Justice of the Supreme Court. In 1927 he was appointed by Chief Justice Johnston as the Supreme Court member of the Judicial Council and was chosen chairman of that body, the purpose of which is to make a study of the judicial system of our state with a view of making recommendations to the Governor, the courts and the Legislature for its improvement. His work on the court has been characterized by industry, fairness and ability. The large majority of judges, lawyers, and those familiar with the work of the court approve his renomination and election. He has no Democratic opponent, and he is submitting his candidacy to the Republican voters at the primary election, August 7th. It is easier to form a character, than to reform it after it has been deformed. The child should be saved—a warning rather than a rescue. It reflects credit to be saved by the Bible School and not a reform school. Modern society has a multiple of occupations; its easy, intercourse, its free nobility, rich resources of arts and sciences have many opportunities for reflective judgment and personal valuations. Our concept of punishment should vary according to the aim sought when the offense is committed. This reem a three-fold aim:—Retribution, Determment and Reform. We punish, it is said, him who has done wrong; partly to satisfy the cravings that exist in our minds to those who have done wrong, and partly to influence the mind of the wrong-doer that must cease doing wrong. Of these three ends the first seem preponderant. Therefore, retribution is one of the main aims of punishment; following our own reasoning, we must admit that it takes the precedence, not only in time but in importance, of both the others. We have seen crime that would not have been punished at all, or as we feel punished with less severity, if determent and reformation were the only aims of punishment. Shall we continue to regard punishment as primarily retributive? Secondarily determent, tertarily and in a much lower degree reformative? How do we punish, whom do we punish, how ought we to punish? Again, we assign responsibility to wrong-doing. A wrong act is therefore, a case where the actor intends to harm another. Responsibility is the more undoubted, the more closely the more deliberately the more frequently the will is concerned in the act. It is the force within that counts. "The kingdom of heaven is within you." Social data has been gathered and deduction drawn therefrom that will ultimately result in better laws, better homes and more sanitary working conditions. The engineer committee sent out sometime ago by presidential elect, Hoover for the Republican party made material suggestion by which the lives of workers may be lengthened, made happier and more efficient.

Our social problem is coming to be of a high complex order, so rapidly has this transformation taken place, we have not been able to adjust ourselves to the new condition. The men who are able to help in this adjustment are men of tomorrow. We are teaching independence and the brotherhood of man. Since the home is the most ancient institution, the unit of society let us appeal in the names of law and order for better home-ties. Help that little girl with such wonderful parent we should recast and recult our penal institutions and correctly place responsibility. No chain is stronger than its weakest link. Remove the cause and the effect will become painless. In the social debris there are many social diamonds to be reclaimed. I close by having glimpsed in the window of the Sunday School nursery. Of course someone must find it. And then someone must grind it; Or it newer will be ground; When it is found, And then it is ground. Now, it is burnished and bright, The diamond is everlastingly a flashing out its light."

Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson (BY REY P M FITWATER DJ, Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago (CA, 1928 Western Newspaper Union) THE FIRST FOREIGN MISSION- ARIES LESSON TEXT—Acts 18 1:58 LESSON TEXT—Acts is Poem GOLDEN TEXT—Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Sun, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and to, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul and His Friend Go to Tell Others About Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul and Barnabas Sent as Missionaries INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Paul Found His Life Work LOUGH PLOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Holy Spirit in Missions. This lesson marks the beginning of foreign missions as the deliberately planned enterprise of the church. The occasion for the beginning of this work was a meeting of certain prophets and teachers at Antioch. While these ministers were engaged in praying the Lord told upon their hearts so lovingly the evangelization of the world that they refrained from eating in order to seek the will of the Lord in prayer. This is the kind of fasting that its Gods approve. I. Barnabas and Saul Sent Forth (vv. 2, 3). The Spirit directed the church to send forth Barnabas and Saul to the work whereunto He had called them. The Spirit called and the church recalled the motion by sending those who were Spirit-called. A real call to missionary service comes from the Holy Spirit. It should be the concern of the church to constantly seek the mind of the Spirit relative to the sending forth of laborers into the Lord's vineyard. It is to be noted that the Spirit called and the church sent the very best men from their company at Antioch. This is as it should be. Success in the mission field is dependent upon the laying of her best men and women upon the altar by the church. II. Barnabas and Saul Preaching the Word of God in Cyprus (iv, 4, 5). After a second season of prayer and fasting the church formally ordained these first foreign missionaries for their work. Ordination by the imposition of hands has its proper place. Cyprus being the home of Barnabas perhaps accounts for their first going to this country. It is most natural that those who have heard the good news should go first to their Lindred and friends. Then, too, Barnabas was acquainted with the country and people and could thus be assured of a proper hearing among them. Andrew first went to his brother, and the man out of whom the demons were cast was commanded by Christ to go home and tell what great things the Lord had done for him (Luke 9:30). III. Barnabae and Saul Wiltheood by Elymas, the Sorcerer (vv. 6-12). Sergius Paulus, the deputy, invited Barnabae and Saul to tell him of the Word of God. Elymas maliciously sought to turn the deputy's mind from the faith. This first obstacle encountered, as the gorpel was being carried to the heathen world, was overcome through the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul denounced Elymas in most scathing terms, calling him the child of the devil, declaring that he was full of guild and villainy, pronouncing him the enemy of all righteousness, and accusing him of preverting the right ways of the Lord. IV. Paul and Barnabae in the Synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia (vv. 1-10). From Paphos Paul and Barnabas with Mark went northward to Perga. It is from this place, perhaps because of hardship, that Mark went back, he started out with good intentions, but the trials seemed too great for him to endure. Mark redeemed himself later though when they started on their second missionary journey Paul would not consent for Mark to accompany them, although he later testified in Mark's favor (11 Tim 4:11). From Perga they went to Antioch in Pisidia and entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day. While he was the apostle to the Gentiles he began with the Jews. After the usual reading of the Scriptures, in response to the invitation of the rulers, Paul delivered his first recorded sermon. This sermon is worthy of careful study. When an alzized we find it had four parts. 1. Historical (vv. 1723). 2. Political (vv. 2127). 3. Doctrinal (vv. 38, 39). 4. Practical (vv. 40, 41). The effect of this sermon was that many Jews and proselytes requested to hear these words again. Almost the whole city came to hear the Word of God the next Sabbath. While many came to hear these words jealousy provoked open opposition. Take Heed Wherefore take lice of being painted fire, wherein is no warmth; and painted flowers, which retain no smell; and of being painted trees, whereon is no fruit; "Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift, is like clouds and wind without rain."—John Bunyan. God Will Aid Us As long as we work on God's life he will aid us. When we attempt to work on our own lines, he rebukes us with failure. B. Y. P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYE3. Subject:—Do Mission Lands Need Baptist Churches? Text Matt. 28:16-20. All lands and people need the Gospel. The church is the instrument through which God has been pleased to meet this need. Therefore, missionary lands need the New Testament Church which is represented in the Missionary Baptist Church. One may realize the value of the church and its influence by imagining what would be our condition if immediately the church with its influence should be blotted out. Certainly the Mission Lands need an institution which truly represents the life and teachings of the Man of Gahlee. Where this life and teaching is unknown and its influence unfelt, men live the life of beasts. It is the church through which God is working to save man from the shame and disgrace of sin and ignorance. Jesus sends the church to save, educate and actuate to noble service. The eleven, or the early church, went to the mountain to get its commission and then to Jerusalem to get its power. When they saw Illim, they worshipped Him. They first needed to be in the attitude of worship before they could be in an attitude of service. The Great Commission could only be trusted to those whose supreme joy was to fall down and worship God. Notwithstanding Christ's claim to supreme authority there were those who doubted His resurrection and claim. He announces His authority, gives a command and makes a promise. He saw the word's need and not that need on the cross. Mission Lands need Baptist Churches to perpetuate the program of Jesus which alone satisfies and meets the need of a hungry soul. Only the true church can be trusted with the best that heaven has to offer fallen man, it has the glorious task of reproducing the life of Christ through the Gospel in the lives of men. To any serious thinker, the church is indispensible to peace and happiness. QUESTIONS. How would you like to live where the church nor its influence had never been? To what extent are you responsible for the need of the Foreign Field? If the heathen does not get the Gospel upon whose head will the blood fall? Do you realize that the Great Commission is directly given to you (if you are a Cristian) as well as to the church. Have you received your orders since you voluntarily joined the army of God?

Our plan calls for $10,000 annually. The plan adopted at the Convention was that $0,700,000 be apportioned directly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Con- ROOFING!

The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the able because the State obligations are due monthly. For instance, if 25 churches give $5.00 each monthly, it means $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 $550.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations a nd 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 bitiness-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Ministers 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 pay 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.

PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE Mr. Hudson, as a lawyer—I have known him for three and one-half years as a very fine man, and as far as I could see no prejudice against colored people. He was one of the first lawyers to be barred from help- are you making noise, about what ought to be done to better conditions—are you in tune with the cause and playing in harmony with the cause of God? Check up on yourself and make God another promise, then forget NOT! PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE Mr. Hudson, as a lawyer—I have known him for three and one-half years as a very fine man, and as far as I could see no prejudice against colored people. He was one of the first lawyers to be barred from helping citizens get their rights when Walston, Dickson, Dan Carrey and Dahner were in power. When you think of the many plans that are being worked to keep a part of the American citizenry down, you wonder what does God mean to let people profess to love Him, then go on, practicing everything that shows that they do not love Him. He said Himself; "If you say you love me and hate your brother, you lie and the truth is not in you." Well, there are many in whom the truth does not dwell. Then it is so expensive to be mean. You must have a place for yourself and a place for the ones you do not like. You must have material for yourself and material for the ones you do not like. You must have accommodations for yourself and accommodation for the ones you do not like. You must have churches for yourself and ones for those you not like. You must have love for yourself and hate for those you do not love. You must have a smile for the ones you love and a grin for the ones range with the Heavenly Father you do not love. How you will argue about two heavens and two hells, we are not just clear. But, it is the best to think in terms of one people, one God, one Son, one Holy Spirit and the whole family in one ONE; if you expect to be ONE with HIM, who believes in ONE. FALLEN ASLEEP It is impossible for the human mind to estimate how much was the loss in the passing of Mrs. C. R. McDowel Hannibal, Mo., who was stricken while attending the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs at Jefferson City, Mo., June 28, with a stroke. She fell asleep on the morning of July 17. She was a woman among women, and was prominent in local, district, state and national religious affairs. The Baptist family throughout this country will especially super for her worthy leadership and council. AT the Get-to-gether Meeting on the beautiful lawn of Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Bates, July 16, seemingly, to O K. coloring for "Reed for Governor." Many were the points emphasized to prove that he is a square man and will do the square thing for any square man or square cause. Out of the six men for Governor, Reed is the only one who is giving his political issues to the voters and letting their best Judgement decide whether they want a "man" who will declare himself, then carry out his declaration. We think we should call your special attention to John R. Bouse for Marshal of City, who is quiet, and unassuming, but is as true as man can be. He will make you feel proud of the votes you cast for him. Chet Sarles, seemingly, is the most popular man for sheriff, and he is promising to do the square things from every angle. We are asking that you be enough interested in the future of your government to REG- CONFERENCE WITH CLYDE REED. CONFERENCE WITH CLYDE REED. ```markdown ``` Yesterday afternoon in the well equipped office of Dr. P. M Bell, it was the privilege of some of the best thinking Negroes of the city to have a conference with Mr. Reed, the candidate for Governor. Mr. Henry James presided at the meeting. He (Reed) made a very frank and common sense-talk to the men. He asked what did they want? And promised to keep in mind that the race was entitled to more than janitor and porter jobs, and something would be done that would dignify the race. He offset the statement that he caused two Negroes to lose their jobs as mail clerks from a stand point of prejudice, but it was their own conduct. The treatments at the State Schools were brought to his attention and he promised to weigh both sides and then do all in his power to get the Negro students a fair and impartial chance to develop like any other student. Eighteen or twenty men weighed every word that he said and believe that he is free from the influence of the Klans and that he has a mind to do the right and square thing. He was accompanied by Mr. M. C. Campbell and Mr., Bruce Griffith, two of Wichita's most outstanding men. future of your government to REGISTER and to INVESTIGATE the many candidates, then pick the ones who will do the most, for the most people, making all feel that they are worthy officers and not have to regret that they cast a vote for them. THE District meetings are nearing, and the cause of the state could be brought out from any embarrassment, if the ministers will take the time to put the Kingdom of God right up to the members and have them to know that they are personally responsible for the growth of the Kingdom. Special efforts, rallies and personal touch should be the activities of every church in the state, who has not come up to the required and assigned Budget. Appoint a special committee and set a special table for the collecting of the Lord's money for the Association. This matter should be just as important as paying the light and water bills for your church, and each minister should make his members see it in that light. The following districts will meet, visi:—Ig.w Valley, at Lawrence. July 31 to Aug. 5; Smoky Hill River at Emporia, Aug 6 to 12; Babies Love It For all stomach. and intestinal troubles and disturbances due to teething, there is nothing better than a safe Infants' and Children's Laxative. MRS. WINSLOW'S SYRUP Neosho, at Paola, Aug. 14-17: Southwest, at Hutchinson, Aug. 14-17. May the Lord count on you? If so, the Rev. A. W. Ross will be able to square every account and then plan bigger and better things. CHECK up on yourself—What value are you to the community in which you live? Does your next door neighbor believe in you? Could you trust yourself to be true if no one looked at you? Does your church count on you? Are you better on excuses than you are on doing your duty? Would you hide if the Master would come in the cool of the evening? Would you be proud of it? Think on these things and see where you stand. You should count one or you are a dead note on the instrument of God's great plan. Any old discord instrument can keep nose in a rubbish pile; where are you and TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION OF SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT ASSOCIATION AND AUXILIARIES TO BE HELD WITH Second Baptist Church, Hutchinson, Kansas, August 14-19, 1928.
