THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE VOL. 23 NO. 34 By R. A. Adams (The Literary Service Bureau) Oft quoted is this Colossal fallacy. "Where ignorance is bias. 'Tis folly to be wise." and no doubt many have been beruiled into believing it to be true, and for that reason, ignorance is preferable to wisdom; and such is a lamentable conclusion. The author of this expression was writing poetry, and poetry is never required to be accurate and truthful. Poetry has license to be eccentric; to ignore exactness in the interest of beauty of expression. Poetry is the child of fantasy and imagery, and who ever expected accuracy of these eusive elements? Perhaps the author intended that the expression should be accepted with modifications and reservations, making it apply to special cases rather than to general conditions. Among these may be cases where knowledge of real conditions would make one unhappy, with no compensating results; knowledge of the real condition of an afflicted loved one whom no help would be possible; knowledge of faults and errancies of friends; knowledge of coming unceasant events; and knowledge of the unfavorable opinions which other occasions may require. Ice accursions made against us. our entertal neconcerning us, and the But, even in these cases ignorance of questionable utility; moreover, the quotation makes no such differentiations or reservations, and it is generally taken literally--a serious error. To unrest, discontent, dissatisfaction with existing conditions and past achievements, the world is indebted for the many useful inventions and for human progress in general. Therefore, even if knowledge should cause a measure of unrest, it would not be 'Folly to be wise." It is well known that no logical conclusion can result from fallacious presises; no substantial superstructure can be built on fragile foundation; so if it true that any superstructure of happiness built on ignorance cannot have more than temporary duration. All who may be inclined to give consideration to such unreasonable and fallacious dictums, would do we'll to move cautiously, for many lives have been ruined by adherence to such subtile mischiefs. It might be added that decention will almost invariably be avoided, then the knowledge would cause more unhappiness than it would have done at first.

WICHITA, KANSAS, DEC. 5, 1930 MAXIE MIL- LER WRITES "Flappers are dumb" -- Maxie agrees with Dorothy Dix--Fluent in Slang and Sex--Danber than "Dora" in Serious Things. (Note: For advice on various problems write Maxie Miller, care Literary Service Bureau, 634 Franklin venue, Kansas City, Kansas. For error reply, send postage.) (The Literary Service Bureau) A letter sent out by Dorothy Dix, the most famous woman writer in the world stirred a little sister and he is smarting and she wants Maxi Miller to contradict. No, ro, little sister, exarine yourself. Dear Maxie Miller: I think Dorothy Dix a great writer, but she adults us girls when she writes, 'appers are dumb." What do you say? Can you give her bump for it? Sweet Sl... Well, well, well! Did the secret get out at last? Did they "find it out anyhow?" Sister Dorothy says so, and the world says amen to our teachments. Dumb? Why flappers are fluent, collien, gassy, in slang and in sex conversation! In the latter they are "past masters." But it has been observed that their fluency and verbosity "take leave" when the conversation takes a serious turn! Then comes the "WHYS." Among the "whys" might be catalogued failure to read or consider serious things; constant association with frivolous companions; unfortunate choice of reading matter; resorting to the light and foolish in amusements and in conversation. These lighter things shut out consideration of the more serious, hence when they are discussed, "flappers are dumb." As to being provocation of soberness and serious thought even education seems a failure in many cases for the educated one are as light and unconcerned as those who are unlettered. Many are brilliant along the narrow line of school courses, but in thought and discussion of worth while things they are dumb. One is tempted to resort to conversation use and say, 'are darn dumb." I am the young womanhood take life more seriously. Maxie Miller 6 o'clock, Study Course by Mrs. Johnson; 6.30 B. Y. P. U., the Missionary Group gave the program, Leader, Mrs. West. Visitors: Rev.

Adams (The Literary Service Bureau) "Tis folly to be wise," they say, "Where ignorance is bliss;" Believe this fallacy you may, But truth indeed, is this; That ignorance, accursed thing. True happiness can never bring. "Tis folly to be wise," they prate, "Since often truth, when known, Is cause of discontentment great;" But since when was it shown That happiness can ever be Of ignorance brogeny? "Tis folly to be wise?" Ah, not Wisdom has ever been Blessing to human kind, and so Has ignorance been sin; Only for those who wisdom choose The boon of happiness ensues. Mod.

FITZWATFR D. D., Member of Faculty, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (C. 1928, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for December 7 STEPHEN, AN EARLY INTERPRET ER OF CHRISTIANITY LESSON TEXT—Acts 6 17 60. GOLDEN TEXT—And the easing pleased the whole multitude; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch PRIMARY TOPIC—Stephen, Jesus' Helper and Friend. JUNIOR TOPIC-Standing Up for Jesus INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP OVERSTANDING UP FOR CHRIST TOOING PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Stephen's Contribution to Christianity. 1. Stephen Chosen as Deacon [Acts 6:1-8]. The early church was threatened with disruption over suspected partiality in the distribution of alms. As soon as the church had relief from external troubles, difficulties arose from within. A congregational meeting was called, the case placed before the church with instructions to select seven men of good reputation, and spirit filled, to administer the temporalities of the church, thus giving the apostles the necessary time for prayer and the ministry of God's word. Among the seven deacons chosen, Stephen occupied first place. The essential qualifications for the deacon's office are: 1. Integrity. They were instructed to look for man of good report, of unquestioned integrity. 2. Sagacity. They were to look for men full of wisdom, men of common sense and good judgment. 3. Spirituality. They were to be men full of the Holy Ghost. 11. Stephen Before the Council (Acts 6.9-15). 1. Disputing with Stephen (vv. 0, 10). Certain foreign speaking Jews took the lead in this controversy. Perhaps the fact that Stephen was a Grecian-Jew provoked them to this action. He was more than a match for them while the debate was carried along the lines of reason and Scripture. Beaten along these lines, they had him arrested and brought before the Council. 2. Charged with blasphemy (vv. 11-14). They trumped up this charge against him and endowed to support it by secretly finding and inducing men to perjure themselves in their testimony. Stephen showed in his preaching that God's purpose was progressive and that the policy instituted by Moses would be superseded by the new faith, since it was but the culmination of what Moses began. Christianity did not destroy Judaism but caused it to blossom forth into the glory of the new order. 3. Stephen's face transfigured (v. 15). He was no completely filled with Christ that as he saw the angry mob and realized how soon he would be violently dealt with and thus pass into the presence of the Lord, his face shone as the face of an angel. III. Stephen's Defense (Acts 7:1-63). In refuting their charge he showed by the history of God's dealing with the Jews that they had always resisted him. Therefore, their present attitude was because they were unwilling to move forward with the divine purpose. According to Dr. Stifler, four points emerge in this defense: 1. Gods dealing with the Jews showed progress. It was not reached by a single leap, but by gradual stages. 2. The temple was not the only holy place. God appeared at different times and in different places. 3. Israel invariably opposed God in his effort to lead them on. 4. He showed his loyalty to Moses by constantly referring to him. IV. Stephen Stoned (Acts 7:51-60). His words cut them to the heart so they grashed upon him with their teeth. 1. Looking steadfastly into heaven (v. 55). Instead of looking upon his murderers he looked up to heaven. 2. He saw the glory of God (v. 55). A vision of God's glory is only possible to those who are loyal unto death. 3. He saw Jesus standing on the right hand of God (vv. 55, 58), showing that he was actively interested in the suffering of his faithful witness. 4. They cast him out of the city and stoned him (vv. 58, 59). 5. His prayer (v. 60). He kneced down and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." How like the prayer of Jesus on the cross. 6. He fell asleep (v. 60). The Christian's death is only a sleep. This sublime scene must have virtually affected Saul who was consenting unto his death. Faith Faith draws out our stops While the sympathy of our Lord is expressed in the briefest verse in the Bible—"Jesus wipt"—that verse requires as a foot note the many pages which describe his crucifixion.—John Andrew Holmes. Before God I stand at attention before God every morning before I go to my day's work and receive from him my marching orders.—Sir George White. St. PAUL NOTES There was a large congregation that assembled at 11 a. m. services, and a splendid attendance at evening, who enjoyed the wonderful sermons and spiritual message delivered by our pastor, the Rev.

Livingston, Reporter INCOME TAX IS STEP TOWARD TAX REFORM: IOLA EDITOR JOLA, Sept.—"I do not see how we ever are to have tax reform in Kansas unless we make a start, and it reems to me support of the income tax is a good place to start." The speaker was Charles F. Scott, editor of The Iola Register and former member of congress, addressing a group of his fellow townsmen. "We have all been saying for years that our present tax system is athalc, unscientific and unjust, but we haven't done anything about it," Scott said. "Why not begin now to do something about it? "I noticed the other day," Mr. Scott continued, "a report from the Missour tax commission in which thought the total value of the terrible property of that state cost the statement was made that altutes but 20 per cent of its total wealth, yet that 20 per cent paves 04 per cent of the taxes. Presumably a similar situation exists in Kansas if the facts were known. Could there be anything more grossly unjust and unfair than that? Isn't it perfectly obvious that we must find some way out? "Other proposals doubtless will come before the people in other years. The one concrete thing that before us now is the proposal to amend the constitution so as to permit the enactment of a graduated income tax. I am for it because it seems to me to be the fairest of all taxes. Taxes ought to be levied according to ability to pay. Everyone accepts that as a fundamental principle of taxation. But how can ability to pay be better determined than by ascertaining income? The ownership of property is really no test of ability to pay for one may own property which produces no income at all. It is what one earns, not what he owns that enables him to pay taxes and that ought to be determined how much he shall pay. Know two men in Allen county of equal wealth. One holds his property in the form of government bonds and the other owns lands and live stock. The first man pays no tax at all while the second man pays almost $1,000 a year. I know scores of men (and there are thousands of them) who draw salaries all the way from $2,000 to $10,000 a year and yet who pay no taxes at all because they own no property above their exemptions. In what way can the salaried man or the owner of tax exempt securities be reached for purposes of taxation except through an income tax? Yet he certainly ought to be reached, for every citizen, according to his ability, ought to contribute to the cost of the government under which he lives." In farther discussion of the subject Mr. Scott made it clear that he had no fear an income tax, if adopted, would be "merely another tax," or that 'an army of ronopers' would Both candidates for governor and be appointed to carry it into effect, both political parties are distinctly pledged by their platforms to see to it that the income tax, if adopted shall be substituted for other taxes, not added to them. As to the "menners," the federal government collects an income tax at reasonable cost and without undue intrusion into the private affairs of the people, and Mr. Scott could see no reason why the state could not work out the problem in a similar effectual and inofensive way. INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL TEACHERS VISIT N. A. A. C. P. TEACHERS VISIT N. A. M. T. NEW YORK, Nov. 29 - Mr. and Mrs. John Barton, teachers at the International People's College, at Elsinore, Denmark, this week visit- ed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and reported that two colored students from America had spent the summer term at the college. Mr. Earton stated that the school was designed to give students of all nations and all races opportunity for contact while familiarizing themselves with languages, literatures and social and economic problems in their international aspects. The school hopes always to include an American Negro student in its international representation. The school is directed toward international understanding, as a means to avoiding war, and its prospectus states: "Once every century in Europe a great war has devastated land and people leaving o' present century is no exception, and economic burdens in its wake. The present century is no exception. Already the causes of the war are not work again. Can our political machinery avest future conflict without a literating education? The international People's College is founded on the belief that in modern democracies peoples and their leaders must have resource to such education if human life is to be preserved and enriched." In ten years more than 700 foreign students from 29 different institutes have attended the school. Service was well attended at the ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE! TATE OF KANSAS, ) )ss.

WAR NO LONGER SURVIVAL OF FIT SAYS SPEAKER Selective Process of Race Suicide Instead - Time to Say, "Never Again," College Students are Told. ATLANTA, GA., Nov. — Miss longer the survival of the fittest, if ever it was, but rather the exa t reverse," said R. B. Eleazer, Educational Director of the Interracial Commission, in a recent address before several hundred students at Emory University, this city. "Modern war sacrifices first the finest of its youth," he continued, "and leaves the propagation of the race to its older and less favored members. It is a selective process of race suicide, as scientific and effective as if it had been framed for this special purpose." Continuing, the speaker arranged war to interfere in the achievement of desired ends; launcere in its announced purposes and shamelessly mendacious in its propaganda; costly beyond expression in life and treasure; destructive of civilization's gains; and a reversal of all the civilizing processes. The speaker pointed to the League of Nations, the World Court and the Kellogg Pact as hopeful evidences that people are seeking a better way. At the same time, he said, national expenditures for armies and navies are increasing on every hand, including those of our own country. A. B.
