THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 14, J. J. tion should be Added to the High Schools and Junior Colleges." BY CHAS. S. JEMISON. (Read at the State B. U. U. and S. S. Conventions at Ottawa, K ansas, June 11th-14th, 1929) the American Civilian can en dure only if backed by the funa lament, spiritual and mora, foun ation which was the rudimenta ture of the Coasat who settled out land and country. The great problem as we see it today is to make God real, to make Him so real to the average man that He can be felt and seen by the man, in this day of materialism and machinery there is a tremendous necessity to make God real, to demonstrate the fact of God to man. Take this wave of progress which is sweeping the country, this amazing wave of advancement which is tearing away our old idea of living and creating new ones. Born of noble virtues of our fathers and mothers began in homes, steeped with faith and prayers, what can stop it in its mad rush toward attainment? But what made us is also necessary for our preservation; our life grounded in a moral and spiritual philosophy as necessary to us as bread and water and without it we cannot long exist. Therefore to maintain the fundamental, spiritual and moral foundation of Christianity, a Curriculum in Religious Education Should be Added to the High Schools and Junior Colleges. In order to contribute one's fare share to to the Christianizing of education as well as of other individual and social relation one must know what the principles of Christ's religion, really are. Hence, correct information concerning Christianity is of the utmost importance for individual happiness and morality as well as to the stability of society, true democracy and intensive and extensive growth of the church. Nations therefore, which neglect or oppose religious instructions, or even encourage the teaching of irreligion, are digging their own graves. The rising generation must be taught religion (first) By precepts; (second) By examples of individuals, as well as though laws and customs, and (third) By training in social service and right actions, for habit and character are formed through practice alone. American education must be more Christianized by no mean in a sense of making it narrow, sectarian and intolerant of new ideas, but by giving the Christian religion a chance to be heard in our High Schools and Junior Colleges and by creating an atmosphere friendly to the Bible and religion. Man needs the dynamic of religion to make him act according to his ideals. Our means of education are in danger of becoming morally neutral and this is a long step toward becoming morally debilitated. A man cannot lose interest in God, faith, love, justice, mercy, immorality, without losing some of his moral passion inherited from better times. It is a sacred duty to develop to the highest point possible, all the powers resident in human nature. In view of the great problems of the future nothing is therefore more important than the right training of the rising generation. Without truthful information, intelligent judgment is impossible and progress unthinkable. When the people have correct information they usually act wisely. WATCH TOWER NOTES "The Negro in America, like the masses of all other people today, needs a leadership which is anxious to havehim realize his fullest possi- bilities."—Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress held in Charleston was a success. More than two thousand delegates, besides visitors were present, and they raised something over $4500. The enthusiasm of these young Baptists knew no bounds, and I am sure all returned to their homes better fitted for their work. WTN Our men, everywhere are getting MORE PREJUDICE HERE, THAN CHRISTIANITY SAYS HEAD OF WASHINGTON GIRLS' SCHOOL. Lynching, Prejudice, "Millstone Abuse Neck or Democracy" CLEVELAND, June 28—"There is more free prejudice in America than there is Christianity," declared Nance in Burroughs, head of the National Training School for Women and it is in Washington, D. C., at a mass meeting of 40th Anniversary, S. A. A. C. P. Conference. "There is more power in the American brand of race prejudice than there is in the brand of Christianity which is propagated in this country," declared Miss Burroughs. "Men out of this nation conceived in liberty and ideal at to the ideals of just e and happiness. Yet our country has fought harder to keep men in physical and moral slavery than any of the so-called Christian nations of modern times." Leftering to prejudice against so- cigrers, includi' Mexicans, Chin- sas, Japanese and Jaws as well as N- goes Miss Burroughs said: "To these millions of handicappe' boyotted, persecuted citizens, Amer- ica reads the Declaation of In- epidence and the Constitution, and she insists that these people, arro and whose hands, feet, minds and spirit she has wrapped the chains of pre- judice, give eternal alliance to the stars and strives. But our country has not kept her word in letter or spirit with these millions of loyal citizens. She considers them problems to be worked rather than fellow countrymen to be cultivated." Commenting on the denial of edu- calational opportunities to Negroes in many states, Miss Burroughs said: "America's greatest social welfare game is to shut the door of opportu- nity and then open the purse of 'envolent charity to the Negro race." Lynchin, segregation, mob lawlessness and race prejudice, Miss Burrougha-characterized as a willstone about the neck of American democracy that will drag down"unless justice is substituted for inequalities. leady for the Kansas City meeting in September, Years ago the delegates saw to it that Echo Meetings on the Convention were held in all the cites. In that way they carried the National Conventin to the churches and much of the success which we now enjoy is a result of having all the people know about the work of our National Conventions. Information about any cause is the only real way to push it along. WTN In these days of convention and association meetings, a thorough study of the constitution and By-laws of these organizations should be made by our brethren. We cannot hope to be intelligent about our domnational affairs without knowing the constitutions governing these bodies. WTN The public schools of our country are receiving better teachers as the years go by, to the end that North America is determined to have an intelligent citizenry. Negroes have 18 000 of their best young folks in colleges. Mass meetings, Ministers Alliances, and what not, in every community are very essential to the education of our people along a lines. WTN Some of the best women in all this country, will be delegates to the associations and conventions during these convention times. These delegates will need to be informed on what to do and how to do it, and nothing will help them more than "Arrows for Women's Work" thirty-five cents per copy, which may be secured from the Sunday School Publishing Board, B. Y, P. U. Board, or from the undersigned, at 433 Seventh Avenue, North, Nashville, Tennessee. In Christian work, all the learning, all the strategy, and all the tricks known to smart men will never take the place of the aid of the Holy Spirit, given in answer to prayer. Let every pastor, delegate, and friend who hopes to attend our National meeting in Kansas City, think of that gathering as they pray from time to time. The pastors can greatly aid the people in this matter, if in our public prayers we mention the work of this organization, employing the guidance and help of the Lord—let us pray.

"The reappointment battle in Congre- sion is painted out the vulnerable point of attack. It has shown that our Southern colored brothers are two-fifths of the value to our cause that the slaves were. "If we follow up this advantage, we must come into our own in the South. It is the Negro's next battleground for the major engagements." "I said once to a convention of the North, a association for the Advancement of Colored People that were I a dept. in the South I should come North, but I said that the time would come for this group to turn again to the South. The time is now. The challenge is here. The last presidential campaign was disharmonic and discouraging. It brought little immediate hope or joy but it did bring a golden opportunity. Two nearly matched political parties bring this hope and opportunity. The chance to vote and to name the vot counted is protected by law. "The most valuable effort in a large way of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is its carrying through of the white primary election cases. City councils in places where the Negro has the balance of power will not enact segregation ordinances, will not deny to voters their constitutional rights." In speaking of the changes he had witnessed in recent years, Judge Jayne said that "Nordic supremacy" had returned to the mythical castles of Thor and Woden, and that in arts, in literature, in business and on the battlefield, the Negro had demonstrated his ability to take his place in American life. matter and a crash of worlds—until as permanently as did her fathers who built the pyramids yonder in the land of the Nile.

NATIONAL S.S. & B.Y.P.U.CONGRESS A GREAT SUCCESS (Continued from last issue) Thursday evening Session opens wonderful praise and song service. Dr. L. G. Jordan, Historiagrapher of N. B. C., gave the opening address. The Junior Department gave a very convincing demilitratin. Dr. J. Brown delivered another able address on "The Seven Laws of Teaching." Our souls were fed from a doctrinal Sermon by Rev. U. S. Keeing, Beaumont, Texas. Friday morning, after devotion, Dr. J. T. Brown addressed us on "What the Teacher Should Know about His Purl's;" and Rev. F. L. Sanders on "The Psychology of Ad- vertising for B. Y. P. U. Progress" All enjoyed the young's (A. & D) demonstration. It took up where left off last year and finished its work. The Problem of Soul Win- ning," was plainly brought before us by Rev. B. J. F. Westbrook. Senior Department brought us a great dem- sion. We were again inspired with the inspiration address by Rev. H. M. Smith of Hot Springs, Ark. Friday afternoon, after devotions, Dr. C. L. Fisher delivered a very pro- NEGRO WOMAN MUST TRAIN RACE SAYS MRS. SALLIE W. STEWART. Training of the Negro Race in the country is in the hands of Colored women, said Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart, president of the National Association of Colored Women, Mrs. Stewart assisted that it was the task of Negro women to root out undesirable traits featured by slavery and the results of slave life. The ten or twelve generations of slave life," said Mrs. Stewart, "the lath tain with no floor, noting of comfort, nothing of beauty, caused the Negro to weed from its upward trend in his native land, toward a being with little love for humanity, less moral courage, less race pride, and a moral fibre that was calculated to keep him a slave. From this life, black as moral turpitude could make it, in the dismal shadow of the auction block, he emerged a superstitious creature, lacking self control, and plainty with no path in manhood and no sense of cooperation and confidence. "The Negro woman of today must shoulder the burden of rooting out these and other undesirable traits and being such training as will refine and develop his native talents to the maximum efficiency. The hearts of black mothers swell with the same hopes and desires and with the same exigencies as do the hearts of women of the other race. To those who accuse colored women of ignorance, we say that, aside from educating her own children she has contributed to the education of others. To those who say she cannot set a living example of moral family life, I point to the fact that there are thousands of black mothers, wives, sisters and daughters living honest lives. The future of the race' depends on the power of its women and the heights to which they can climb. Our successes will be based upon our home life and upon our moral standards. These are entirely in the hands of our women." found address on "The Unsettled State of the Church." Rev. N. M. Fisher closed the address with great information along the line of Church history. The intermediate Dept., gave an interesting demonstration. Very profound was the address by Rev. C. A. Ward on "St. Paul's Portraiture of Jesus Christ." Rev. A. D. Williams being a little ill, Dr. W. H. Jernagin represented the Home Mission Board. Friday afternoon, after devotion, the Senior B. Y. P. U. and Superintendents' Departments made inspiring demonstrations. Dr. P. James Bryant and Rev. T. Hutchins, being ill, their subject or address was omitted. Great was the Missionary Sermon by Rev. C. S. Reddick of Birmingham Alabama. Saturday morning, we opened in the usual form; Rev. C. L. Fisher spoke on "The Revival of the Church." The President's Departments brought the demonstrations. Mrs. C. M. Davis gave, us some important idea on using the blackboard. The Social B. Y. P. U. Gave a wonderful demonstration. Saturday afternoon was spent in sight-seeing, when the messengers had a chance to see old historic points in and near Charleston, viz: Old Slave Market, Forts Moultrie and Sumptum, home old generals and noblemen of ear history, etc. Saturday evening, the best talent throughout America was heard, under direction of Miss L. E. Campbell and Mr. E. W. D. Isaac, Jr. Atty. Chas. M. Roberson acted as Supt. of the Congress S. S. and a great School was had. Michigan still holds the financial banner. Rev. E. W. Perry of Oklahoma City, brought the message, on account of illness of President Jernagin. At 3 00 o'clock, Rev. Russell C. Barbour delivered the Mass Meeting address on "The Romance of the Spiritual Life," Mr. William R. Williams conducted Model Unions. Rev. J. J. Nicherson, Hinton, W. V., preached the closing sermon. At no time have we held our Congress among a more noble, sociable or hospitable people than here. Thru many disadvantages, Rev. L. B. Brooks gave a wonderful entertainment. CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 2—Negro juvenile delinquents lack organizations to come to their aid, and to save them from commitment to state institutions, declared Mrs. Eleanor R. Wembridge, Referee of the juvenile Court in Cleveland, speaking last night before a mass meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. Colored girls do, however, enjoy advantages over the children of "foreign-born people of the city, declared Mrs. Wembridge, in that they have a common language, English, with their parents, and colored parents do not, as do foreign-born parents, take their children's wages as a family tax. "One disadvantage in the colored girl's appearance at court," said Mrs. Wembridge, "Is that her own people have not established organizations to look after themselves, and whereas the foreign girl will often have CONSTITUTION BASIS OF NEGRO RIGHTS CONSTITUTION BASIS OF NEGRO RIGHTS Urges Eleanor of House Whose Wife No Not Uphold Citizenship Guarantees. Assessing that the United States Constitution totals the bulk of New York rights in America, and urging defeat by voters of those who fail to uphold its guarantees, Congressman Oscar De Priest, of Chicago, first of his race to sit in the house of Representatives in nearly thirty years, Congressman De Priest, as part of the campaign for Negro citizenship rights, announced that he was promoting a campaign of study and education on the provisions of the Constitution, and that he had had 10,000 copies printed at his own expense for free distribution. "A man or woman cannot demand his or her rights unless these rights are understood," declared Congressman De Priest. "We should not support candidates for Congress who do not subscribe to the principles of the Constitution and we should certainly defeat those who disregard or will not subscribe to these sacred rights guaranteed under it. "In harmony with the trend of the public mind, I was interested some several months ago to canvass audiences in Little Rock and Hot Springs, Arkansas, asking the question as to how many had read the Constitution in the last two or three years. Amazed at the very few who had read these basic principles, I determined that when I went to Congress I would promote an active campaign of education on the Constitution. "I soon discovered Senate Document No. 112, presenting the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. Only a limited number of this document had been printed and the supply was exhausted. At my own personal expense I have ordered 10,000 copies of this document for free distribution. I am enlisting and receiving the cooperation of teachers, ministers, lawyers, lodge secretaries, secretaries of other bodies, and leaders generally throughout the country in this work." representatives from church, lodge, employer, etc. to take her part and aid in probation work, the colored girl is often a mere urt with no friends whatever, or, even if she has parents, they in turn have no social groups interested enough to help them out. "Although they talk much of their church connections, no one from the church ever seems interested to help them out, whereas the foreing girls, largely from Catholic countries, can always depend upon a convent to take an interest in them and parole them if necessary. It is almost impossible to find colored homes where girls can be placed with supervision. It is hard to find institutions to put them in. "It falls, therefore, that colored girls are often put into state institutions where a white girl, having committed the same misdemeanor, would not have to be place there because members of her neighborhood, church or social group would render assistance. Similar members of the church and social groups of the colored girl delinquent lend no assistance whatever. "The general impression of the colored girl delinquent lend no assistance whatever." "The general impression of the colored girls and families as they appear in court is of good manners, a pleasant relation between members so that a colored family comes to court as a unit, apparently without the evidence of interest in their welfare of a single friend from their own social group."

ATLANTA, GA., July 5.—During the month of June representatives of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation carried the message of interracial good will personally to more than a thousand young white men and women assembled in summer conferences from the colleges and high schools of all the southern states. At the joint Y, M, C. A. and Y, W, C.

HOOVER'S Yew York Representative Asks Justice For Negro in His Cleveland Address to N. A. A. C. I.'s Meeting. CLEVELAND, July 5—An attack upon the "political and social vultures" who criticised Mrs. Hoover's reception of Mrs. Oscar De Pri't, pal auditorium by Representative from Illinois, was a feature of the address delivered here yesterday (Sunday) afternoon in the Municipal auditorium by Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York, before the 20th Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoende. In the course of his address Representative Fish hailed the unparalleled advance of the American Negro since the emancipation Act, saying that "the development and achievements of the colored race in the last sixty-six years surpasses anything that is known in history." Representative Fish, who led colored American troops in France, pald tribute to their heroism and predicted a bright future for the race. Speaking of the De Priest incident, Mr. Fish said: "The tempest in the teapot kicked up by Southern extremists because Mrs. Hoover invited Mrs. De Priest and because Mrs. De Priest accepted an invitation to a tea at the White House shows to what deplorable lengths race prejudice can be aroused for cowardly political purposes. It was the duty in accordance with custom, of Mrs. Hoover to ask Mrs. De Priest, the wife of a Member of the House of Representatives, to tea, and it would have been an act of sheer rudeness for Mrs. De Priest to have declined. "It is such glaring episodes exposing the bitterness and racial animosity of limited sections of the South that shocks and alienates any sympathy among Northerners. Abuse heaped either on Mrs. Hoover or Mrs. De Priest could prove a boom-rang in certain sections of the South where the American sense of fair play and spirit of chivalry is as strong as in other parts of the country. "There was no question of social equality involved but only that of the usual courtesy and politeness between the first Lady of the Land and the wife of an American Member of Congress. Furthermore, Jim Crow law segregation and disfranchisement may be the order of the day in the far South but North of the Mason-Dixon Line. "The colored people are not seeking social recognition. They have a pride in their own race and prefer their own company and association, strange as it may seem, to some of the professional political, social vultures, who are always seeking an opportunity to pounce upon some item for political advantage and with rancorous cries to rend the skies with their denunciation of 12 million law-abiding colored American citizens for daring to hold their heads up and seeking their rights under the law. "The whole Negro problem may be summed up in the words, justice, more justice, and still more justice. The social equality issue is just a camouflage raised by the crackers of the South. The fight of 12 million Negroes in the United States will go on steadily and without fear or favor until they have won all their civil rights: the right to earn a living, to educate their children, to own property and to secure the protection of the guarantee of the Federal Constitution for their property and lives." "There is no sounding of retreat or faltering by the wayside, but inspired by the memories of Fredrick Dopglas, Booker T. Washington, and the heroism of their sons on every American battlefield, they will march forward until they have won and established every single civil right to which they are entitled by the Constitution and as patriotic and loyal American citizen." and sympathetic viewpoint on this subject. Similar work was done at the Y. W. C. A. Student Conference at Blue Ridge, N. C., by R. B. Eilezer, Educational Director of the Commission, who led fifty students in an eight-day discussion course on the subject and also addressed the entire body of students, secretaries and leaders. Following this he conducted as similar course at the Girl Reserve Camp at Brevard, where there were 150 picked representatives from high schools throughout the entire Southeast. At the Y. M. C. A. Student Conference at Blue Ridge, Dr. W. W. Alexander, the Commission's Director General, lead a Group in a series of studies of the interracial situation. Among the matters brought with special force to the attention of the young people at the several conferences were such outstanding injustices as lynching, discrimination in school facilities and other public advantages, arbitrary denial of citizenship rights, and inhumane and inconsiderate attitudes.

In view of this pronouncement, some ‘were disposed to say that thelr case was hopetess.

It is very simple, but very impor tant, One of my first thoughts is, Man should love his own nature for out of the dust of the earth, God created every living creature that moves upon the face of the earth, last of all made man of dust, to which he must return in a very short while; all dust is of the earth and man’s duty is to love his brother for which he is a part.

One way js to love the brotherhood; without love youcannot manifest this duty to your fellow- man: Thou shalt not steal that ‘of your brother's; thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not covet thy brother's wife and should not bring up false accusations against your brother; If you sce him in need, help him.

He told the yong people of the work that the Kansas Vocational school is doing for the colored students of Kansas and elsewhere Prof and Mrs. Clement Richardson entertained with a garden party in their beautiful yard last Friday evening in honor of the many visitors that we have on the campus. The hostess served a delightful reast which was enjoyed by all. Fourth of July was observed at the school in the evening with a watermelon feed, a movie and a brilliant display of fireworks. Miss Ida Mae Richardson, director of the recreational activities during the summer school, planned a hike last Saturday afternoon to Tecumseh. Owing to the threatening conditions of the weather, the hike was cailed off. A n indoor riche was held in the dining room of Larimer Hall, instead. Word comes to us that many of the K. V. S. Teachers are taking advantage of their summer vacation to add credit to their educational progress. Among those who are attending summer school are: Miss Mildred West, who is attending K. S. T.

The remarks made by the Baster were very interesting. The evening service was not so well attended because of the stormy looking cloud which came up at service time. M. LIVINGSTON, Reporter. FROM MAX YERGAN P. O. BOX 7, ALICE, C.P. SOUTH AFRICA, April 15, 1929 (Continued from last issue) tributing to a civilization expressive of their own inborn genius. This is in contrast to the way of politicians which, "representing as it does the folly of the most thoughtless elements in the nation, turvility seeks to diminish the rights of the Native and to prejudice the prospects of his community."—Cape Times, February bt. 1929. True to the thought suggested by its name, this conference, somewhat like the interracial movement in America has succeeded in bringing together a group of Africans and Europeans with the qualifications, will and energy necessary to tackle and to a degree, deal successfully with the fundamentals of the difficult questions we face in South Africa is the way of true cooperation on a basis of knowledge and goodwill, and this is a principle with which I thoroughly agree and support. RELIGION It is of singular significance, in the light of conditions here, that a conservative daily newspaper has featured an article containing the following statement: "As to the churches, whatever may be the opinions of individual ministers and whatever the official doctrine of particular creeds, their teaching as a whole does not seem to militate in the slightest degree against accusence in the most blatant barbarite of colour prejudice and all that implies. Perhaps th e churches are useless because they rely on the moral appeal. Perhaps again they rely on the moral appeal because they know it will be useless. In any case, it is the condemnation of organized religion in South Africa that it has failed to make any headway against the instincts of oppression which so strongly characterize European flocks, and that it has attempted to convert Natives to before making sure that its European flocks paid anything more than lip service to Christian principles." I think the above statement an exagregation and an indication that the writer is not acquainted with all the facts. I could use these pages in pointing out the profound effect on public opinion in this country of the work of the churches as regards race relations and the Christian ethic. But at the same time everybody knows that religious forces have not done nearly enough and it is a good sign for us to be told of this through the public press. It shows that people believe that we can and should do more; and they are perfectly correct. Our Association movement is at work among African men and older boys whose lives are in every way involved in what I have referred to undertake in our programme to evade the implication and issues of such vital questions. Nor could we do so if we desired. We are certainly not in politics, but our task, with that of all Christian forces, is to seek to bring Christian principles to bear upon the whole of life. For us, the beginning is of course with the individual. My associate, our association leaders and I have therefore given emphasis this year to the claims of Christianity upon the individual. This has been nothing less than a fresh study of Christ and His teachings in the light of present day claims and conditions. I think our emphasis in this respect has beer both well placed and encouraging. For we still find in Christ our highest idea of the will of God. In the second place, we have continued our development of social study and service. In previous letters and reports I have pointed out the real necessity of encouraging and helping young Africans, especially students, to develop what has been referred to as a 'social vision,' that is to say, a real concern for the conditions among which the masses of our people here live. But to undertake this without at the same time seeking to discover with students and others the methods whereby such a vision might be intelligently realized would fall for short of what is required. The development of night schools, conducting recreational activities among children, working for cleaner villages—all of this we realize is but a drop in the bucket so far as the needs of South Africa are concerned. But it is of great importance when we bear in mind the importance when we bear in mind the scores of students who participate in them. A third contribution continues to be in the realm of race relationships for it is here that there is great need for study, the development of a technique and the discovery of new waves whereby people may be led to think and act in the right way on this difficult question. Within the past three weeks I participated in two discussions not with experts but with The Negro Star-for the Good of the People In-November of 1928 I went to India to attend the General Committee meeting of the World's Students: Christian Federation. I returned early in 1929, and have been busy with regular visits to association, student and other conferences, and the multitude of things to be attended to which accumulated during my absence. As I write, our oldest toy Frederick is in bed with what appears to be appendicitis, but there is still hope that it is not so serious. Hope and pray with us for the best.

Text: Luke 4:16-22 Jesus returned from the Mount of Temptation in the power of the Spirit and His fame went abroad. "And He came to Nazareth where He had been brought up and as His custom was, went to church on the Sabbath Day. The Lord's Day is for rest, recuperation and the good of man. The Bible is the revealed will of God and is for a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Christ is God's gift for the Salvation of the world. He is for the redemption of all who believe. Jesus did not stray from His teaching. He went to worship as in boyhood days; not only did He go where there was worship but He worshiped. His part of the program in today's lesson was to read the Scriptures. This is a very important part of the service because by it God speaks to man. The Bible is for light. Jesus is for life. Worship is for the creation of right attitudes toward God. We should know the purpose for which an object is used before attempting to use it. A watch is to tell time and not to point directions. The church is for worship, not for formality. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CH. In the absence of the Supt., Mr. R. V. Perkins, who is having a two weeks' vacation, the Bible School was opened promptly at 9:30 a. m. by the assistant, Miss L. Covington. There was a good attendance.

The highest system of moral teaching; for brotherly love and helpfulness to humanity."

(Continued from first page) cial justice was urged as the duty of all intelligent, fair-minded people. At all these conferences colored it to mal delegates were present and took part on the program. A fine spirit was manifested by all concerned and permanent results are confidently expected.

B 5 was a printer and finally got to be a foreman. He made a first-class foreman and would be in the composing, room by the hour, spitting on the stove and cussing the make-up and press-work of the other papers. Then he would go to the editorial rooms and scare the editors to death with a wild shriek for more copy. It was his ability to shriek that made him famous. After he had quit being a foreman and become an ambassador, he was the champion heavyweight shrieker of Paris. It was his shrieks which drove the king of France to send LaFayette, and a fleet, and a large consignment of French pastries to the help of the American colonists in their revolution against England. What if Franklin had lived today? He could have used a microphone and accomplished the same purpose without a long and sea-sick voyage across the ocean. How long would it have taken Franklin, announcing over the radio, to spread the news of the Declaration of Independence? About two minutes. As it was.

WILLIAMS, PROPRIETOR the news took many years and hasn't reached some corners of the country yet, to judge by appearances. Franklin had a lot to do with the discovery of electricity, but he probably never dreamed of the future of electricity. What would he say today if he could see any one of us touch a button and call to our help the vast resources of such an electric light and power system as that of Kansas Gas and Electric Company? When you use electric service today you are doing something which Franklin never could do. Everything from running the huge machines in the factory, to curling the delicate locks of milady is done by electricity, and few of us ever think how marvellous it is. Why? Because Kansas Gas and Electric Company service is so perfect that we take it for granted—just as we take for granted the sunlight—electricity's only rival.
