NOT AN ISSUE (Interracial News Bureau) BALTIMORE, MD., Oct. 18—Political leaders in the South, irrespective of party, are admonished to refrain from further raising the race issue, in an editorial appearing in the Manufacturer's Record, published in this city, by Col. Richard H. Edmonds. The Record agrees with the Tichrome News Leader that "the Negro is not an issue in this campaign," and expresses the hope that the newspapers on both sides will emphasize this fact in the interest of the general welfare. The following quotations from the editorial set forth the Record's view: "Dedication by the Richmond News Leader an ardent supporter of Governor Smith, of the 'Negro menace' in the South as a campaign issue is so sane and opportune that true friends of the South will hope other Southern editors will emphasize this point, record party affiliations. 'The Negro is not an "issue" in this campaign,' says the News Leader, and in that pronouncement it speaks truly 'Left to themselves, the white people and the Negroes of the South will dwell together in amity and mutual benefit economically. This is a fact that the leaders of both great political parties must grasp, and thus refrain hereafter from promoting the 'race issue' or the 'Negronace'. In the heat of political campaign of a few weeks' duration they must be careful not to undo all that individuals and organizations have brought about in the creation of a spirit of harmony between the races in the Southern States." AIRCRAFT MOVE SAN ANTONIA, is likely to have the southern branch of the Powell Aircraft Co. Mr. J. E. Chiseman one of their distinguished citizens is in charge of making such possible. San Antonia is ideally situated for such a location with two of the world's largest flying fields in operation there and a 10 million dollar field under construction. Now let's hope she gets this branch with four other southern cities in keen competition for such a location. NEGRO LEGION POST MADE San Antonia Texas, gets the first Negro Legion Post in Texas, newly organized while the National Convention was in session there. To Mr. J. E. Chiseman and other progressive Service men goes the credit this post. Don't stop there, gang but cover Texas, as the dew covers the earth. The entire American Legion is behind you to a man. M. B.

Ah, I'll ask you: "What is Love?" And I'll love you can't tell; It is not a ticklish touch. Nor just a tasty smell. Is Love really deaf and dumb, And blind and cannot see? You are or you have been in it, Play, tell what can it be? III. Together with its beings, Deaf, dumb and blind, oh boy; It has a hard neck resistance. A hard boiled bird, no toy. IV. Speaking of Love's being dumb, I know you've heard its voice; And if you'll just admit it It made your heart rejoice. V. Love is blind and often has, Inferior complex; In you it sees sharp make ups, Snows there to other sex. VI. Thinking of Love's being dumb, it heard your words, I'm sure; If Love didn't hear your frets, The word woe'be mighty poor. VII. If we think that Love is hard-boiled, My sympathy is there; Because Love, with no standard Has quite an awful fate. VIII. We are Love, and Love is ours, You'll enjoy Love by far; When you Love and remember That Love is whatever you are. RAISING RACIAL ISSUE CONDEMNED BY NOTED DIVINE FUCH APPEALS FALSE AND DANGEROUS, UNWORTHY OF WHITES AND UNJUST TO ALL, SAYS D. C. B. WILMER. (Interracial News Bureau) (Interracial News Bureau) ATIANTA, GA., Oct. 10—Efforts to drag the race issue into the present political controversy, whether on one side or the other were strongly condemned here today on both religious and economic grounds, in an interview given to the press by Dr. C. B. Wilmer, of Sewanee, Tennessee Professor of Practical Theology in the University of the South. "The only result of such a course," said Dr. Wilmer, "will be to infect into an alrically difficult situation elements of discord that will react unfavorably on our whole religious, domestic, and political life. The leadership of the South clerical and otherwise, is missing a great opportunity if it fails to discourage and discountenance such appeals to race prejudice and fear, which every intelligent person must recognize as false and dangerous, unworthy of the white man, and unjust to both white and Negro. "The white race is in control in the South today, and any attempt to maintain that position by reviving the issue of a bygone past is tragically out of place. Whichever side resorts to such tactics—and both are guilty—is confessing its weakness, and failing to recognize that the voters of the white South, increasingly intelligent and fair-minded, are beginning to resent such attempts to frighten and coerce them when there are grave issues at stake which ought to be decided on their merits." Dr. Wilmer has for years been conspicuous in the movement for better race relations in the South always ready to champion the cause of interracial justice in Atlanta, his former home town. He was one of the organizers of the Southern Interracial Commission and did still an active member of that body. Y.M.C.A. NOTES THE FRIENDLY INDIAN CLUB.

Leonard, R. H. Todd, L. H. Wiley, Geo. Ho Iv, J. E. Christman and a number of other beautiful homes were receptions, ruppers and banquets, parties too numerous to mention.

The Records of all of the presidential candidates, as well as the platforms of the parties are given. No one needs be in ignorance concerning the major issues that make up the Civic, Social and Moral standards of our American Life. Therefore, let every voter be informed, and not cast his vote in ignorance. Let us not vote for a man because he happens to belong to a certain party; or because our great grandfathers voted that way in 1412. Let us vote for those principles that make for social righteousness; and for the men that will stand by those principles.—W. L. H. Fort Scott News Notes. MT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, KLV. W. F. BEATTY.

You say you don't advertise yourself at all? Of course you do! Every act, every word of yours advertises yourself and your character to your friends and to others. That time you are arguing in boisterous tones and yelling names at your opponent—what was that but an "ad" to this effect?— I AM A LOUDMOUTH! ROUGH LANGUAGE FURNISHED FOR ALL OCCASIONS. That time you tried to skin out of your job on the committee or ducked your club meeting and then gave a fishy excuse afterwards—Why, everybody accepted that as an "al" something like this: I AM A SLACKER! DON'T EVER DEPEND ON ME. And then every time you don't play your game square, or crab, akuo over decisions, cheat or do other unsportmanlike things, you are putting up on the bill-board this sign: I AM A JELLYFISH WANTED—SOME REAL RED BLOOD FOR MY YEINS. BLOOD FOR MY VEINS. And besides this you have a chance to do some "double-page" advertising for yourself each day and this chance comes every moment you are with your fellows—down in the locker room, up in the gym, at club meetings, around the lobby. What do you put in this ad, by your conduct and talk? Something to your credit? Or does your advertisement say: OF MANNERS, I KNOW NOT FOR COURTESY I CARE NOT, NO GENTLEMAN AM I! Haven't you ever realized that you are really advertising yourself by all these various means? Can you afford to put out such advertisements in your disfavor? Cut it out! Stop it now! Study yourself and actions and see what kind of a fellow you are showing yourself off to be. And then—don't go ahead in the same old rut. Wise up to yourself and snap out of.

Sunday School Lesson ( BY PEY, P IS FITZWATER DII, Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago ( C 1928 Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for October 21 CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP LESSON TEXT—11 Cor 8 1·15, 9 4, 7 GOLDEN TEXT—First gave their own reliance to the Lord PRIMARY TOPIC—Glad Giving HAWK FOR PORC—Glad Giving JUNIOR TOPIC-OLIM II INTERMEDIATE AND SECOND TOPIC IC-What Is God's Claim on Us? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPICS IC-Principles of Christian Stewardship. 1. Examples of True Christian Denewoeience (II Cor. S:1-5). The liberality of these Maccadonian churches exhibits practically every grand principle and motive which enter into the giving which has God's sanction. Observe: 1. The source of true giving (v. 1). This is said to be the grace of God, by which is meant that the disposition to give freely of our means is a disposition created by the Holy Spirit. This puts the Christian giving on a much higher plane than that which brings the people under the bondage of the law to give a tenth. 2. They gave from the depths of their poverty, not from the abundance of their riches (v. 2). Their limited means did not cause them to restrict their gifts, but their deep poverty abounded unto the "riches of their liberality." On the basis of this philosophy our poverty ought to be a call for greater generosity, for God has promised that if we give liberally He will give liberally in return. 3. Their willingness surpassed their ability (v. 3). God's gifts are reckoned by the degree of willingness, not by the amount given (II Cor. 8:12; 9:7). If such grace were to come upon the churches today, there would be an abundance of funds to carry on the lords work. 4. They were insistent on being at lowed the privilege of giving (v. 4). 4. They were insistent on being lowed the privilege of giving (v. 4). They did not need to be pressed into giving. How far we have departed from the apostolic method. Today we employ the shrewdest men in financial affairs that can be found to make appeals at our missionary meetings and the dedication of our churches. 5. They first gave themselves to the Lord (v. 5). This is most fundamental to right giving, for when one gives himself to the Lord there is no reason for withholding his gifts. If one does not give himself to the Lord there will be the desire to retain as much for self as can be done within the bounds of respectability. The only right method of raising money for the Lord is first to induce man and woman to give their lives to the Lord and then to give of their possessions. II. Emulation of Macedonian Be nevolence Urged (II Cor. S.G.15). Moved by the generosity of the Macedonian churches, Paul desired Titus to command to the Corinthians the same grace. This grace be urged upon them, giving. 1. Not as a command (v. S). It must be spontaneous—liberal. 3. As the completion and harmony of Christian character (v. 7). The Corinthian church abounded in spiritual gifts such as faith utterance, knowledge, diligence, and in love for their ministers. But the grace of liberality was needful for the harmony of their lives. 4. The self sacrificing example of Christ (v. 9) Self sacrifice is the test of love. 5. Because the true principle upon which gifts are acceptable with God is a willing mind (vv. 1012). God does not estimate the value of a gift on the ground of its intrinsic worth, but the underlying motive of the giver. 6 Because of a common equality (v. 1315). Every Christian should give something. The law governing the gift is ability. III Encouragement to Give (II Cor 9.6, 7). 1. The volume of reaping is based upon the sowing (v. 6). Those who sow sparingly cannot expect to reap bountifully. 2. There should be a heart purpose (v. 7). This calls for intelligence as to the object of giving. 3. Giving should not be of necessity (v. 7). No particular or value accrues to the giver who gives through pressure. 4 God loves a cheerful giver (v. 7) The one who has the right understanding of his responsibility toward God with reference to temporal possessions will regard giving as a glorious privilege. There is nothing that American needs any more than the realization that she has God to reckon with.—A. W. Tozer. When I cannot enjoy the faith of assurance, I live by the faith of ad lerrance.—Matthew Henry. The Bible Do you ever thank God for the Bible?—The bhantman. BY REV, J. W. HAYES. Obedience to law is a Christian virtue, because, back of law, over law and preading law is God, who is the source, sustainer and executer of law. To reslet law, if that law is an expression of the Divine will, is to oppose God, and it will bring His wrath upon us. Civil as well as Ecclesiastical officials are God's Instruments for the salvation and protection of society. Freedom is found only in obedience to law. The man who obeys law is free both from bondage and its fear. One may do as he pleases if he pleases to do right, giving to government and authorities what is due and even paying to individuals what is just. There is an underlying principle that governs obedience, it is the greatest virtue in the category of virtues "Love." If a man loves the institution in which he lives or the government by which he is ruled, obedience is not only easy, but a pleasure. You should know the truth and the truth should make you free. A knowledge of, and obedience to law, are the the road that leads to freedom. THOUGHTS It is better to be moved by love than be compelled by law. There is no law for the lawful. We never break a law, we sometimes break ourselves over it. Kans. Vocational School Kansas Vocational School plans two big celebrations for the month of October.

Our plan calls for $10,000 annually.

For instance, if 25 churches give $500 each monthly, it mean $125.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $750.00, and 75 churches give $200 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $350.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations and 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 ad them forth in this much needed and butiness-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 care 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.

A FOOL has said in his heart, what does it matter who shall preside over me, since I get the money. THE SPIRITUAL ATMOSPHERE of the Kansas Baptist State Convention was pure and wholesome and the knowledge imparted thru sermons, songs, addresses and pageants were on the elevating order and will make any people a great people, if put into practice. LET EVERY CITIZEN VOTE for the Constitutional amendment of the Kansas Law, so the state can get the Government Appropriation and bring up the state in the good road systems. There are two to be voted on, and one is no good without the other, so vote for both. Speak to your friends and pledge yourself to help select the best for the running of this government. ONE of the saddest facts in the Baptist family is the departing of Dev. and Mrs. W. H. Young, the efficient pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Topeka, and Treasurer of the Kansas Baptist State Convention Trustee of the school and many more offices held by both. They will take up the Lord's work in Baltimore, old. They carry the prayers in best wishes of the State. Many tokens of appreciation were given them during the State Convention. BEG PARDON!! Last week in the, "We have been told that—an article appeared say, "Mr. E. Sexton was making eyes at Miss M. Moole"—Which was meant for Mr. Lail Sexton, a very accomplished, excellent young man from Oklahoma who is here in the University of Wichita, a brother of Mr. Edw. Sexton of the Sexton Tailoring Co. But we have been informed the article is misleading as the young lady does not even know the young man. We are subject to correction and therefore beg pardon for the error. THE CHRISTIANS cannot afford to vote for Al Smith because his principles are not for the best in making a Christian government, and the Negro cannot afford to vote for him, because of a solid South and the thought of bringing in of cheap labor. If the president should die, Mr. Robinson from Arkansas, who believes that the Negro should have a peck of meal and a side of meat and some measses for his part, and be satisfied. Remember when you put him in, you are making the sentiment of Arkansas, rule the United States. --- EVERY RACE-LOVING NEGRO'S HEART will rejoice and leap for thanksgiving when he walks into the State Central Committee Office in Topeka, and see in the center of the room the desks occupied by Atty, Wm. Bradshaw and Mrs. A. Orpheus Towers, and their secretary Miss Esther James, who is so elitely taking care of the Negro's interest in this coming election. This is a new day for the race and every person should honor this distinguished recognition. This means a new door to touch the source of power, and when this political battle is over, we will already be on the inside to ask and demand more for the race. SOME of the most select women of America were present the past Week in our city attending the Women's National Missionary Convention of the M. E. Church. The meetings were held at the First Methodist Church on Second and Lawrence, and at the Forum. The programs were high class and entertaining. Their mission activities showed that every race and condition in America and abroad had been touched and the spread of the Kingdom. They planes were laid for greater work for worked like sisters together, exemplifying the Spirit of the Christ who prayed that they might be one as He and His Father were one. Color or previous condition did not enter and the Kingdom's program went over in a pleasing manner. After all we are not far apart, just need to take time to know each other, because to know one is to love one. Thus past into history a great meeting for the Methodist Episcopal Women of the National Convention. We hope to give you full report of their work in the next issue.

A STORY OF PROGRESS Four thousand six hundred American cities and towns are now served by gas companies, and customers number 11,400,000, an increase of 350,000 in a year. It is in the memory of many living persons when gas was not a practical agency. Today it has more than 21,000 industrial uses and is used for cooking in a great percentage of homes.

School nurse says all girls should know this 100 TALKING to a roomful of high school girls on personal hygiene, an experienced district nurse said: in expatriate district nurse said: "One of the basic rules of health for girls is to keep the system functioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged. But when necessary there's no harm in taking nujol, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken. Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or gas pains or gripping." Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so pure and harmless, and works so easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand. Every drugstist has this remarkable substance.

Franklin Harris, aged 56, (trauded) whose hair is tinged with silver gray, teeble and with faltering tread, wound his way into Judge Dedrick's Court, last Thursday to face a charge of rape against his own child, Lenora, who is eleven years old.
