Kansas Knows a Griffin's So Business and Politics a tion by Manag Independence Donning Her Republican State Convention Huffman Are Holdi Southern Kansas is always booming. Business and politics is all one can hear down here among these trustees of prosperity. Manufacturers, bankers and merchants are all busy. Bill Taft, Charle Curtis and Senator Huffman is all one hears. Should Roosevelt visit this section on the morrow, stores, factories and other business places would make it general holiday. Everyone likes to witness a circus, but so few like to take up the arduous task of traveling with such an aggregation, and Southern Kansas. glad rags and all because the big Republican state convention will meet here May 8. This is an ideal convention city with good hotel facilities, excellent train service and all other accommodations that go to make people pleasant and feel at home. The city is located in the heart of the richest and most fertile section of of Kansas and those who attend the convention will have an opportunity to see for themselves the magnificent chances for investment. The business men are all wide awake and the citizens entertaining which accounts for their rapid progress and business activity. When the 950 Republican delegates land at Independence, her business men and citizens (the emperors of hospitality) will receive a welcome that will last as long as time. We have put our field glass on the business and political situation in this section and endeavor to picture our findings in the following paragraphs. JOHN BERTENSHAW Independence, Kan., Candidate for Republican Nomination for Probate Judge of Montgomery County. In traveling over Montgomery county we met a host of Republicans advocating the cause of John Bertenshaw of Independence, who is making the race for the Republican nomination for probate judge. Mr. Bertenshaw has lived in Montgomery county since 1872, his parents having moved there from Indiana when he was a wee boy. Having been endowed with indomitable courage and a fixed determination to succeed in life he began at an early age to work out his destiny, and by honest effort, backed up with marked ability, his labors have been crowned with abundant success. He is an able, conscientious lawyer, with a high sense of honor. He has served as city attorney of Independence, with honor and credit; he has conserved the interests of the taxpayers with a real most commendable. He is making his campaign upon an anti-third term platform. He believes that because a man has made a good officer for two terms, it should not necessarily preclude the possibility of some other man aspiring for the same office when oftimes he is equally as capable and deserving. When a man makes a good officer he has done nothing more than his duty, and for an honest and capable man to do his duty is no extraordinary achievement and the mere fact that he has made a good official is no reason why the office should be dedicated to him for all time. Mr. Bertenshaw has many friends among all classes. He comes from a family who believe in being fair in all things and who judge men by their worth and not by their color. His pipe experience at the bar, his broad knowledge of law and marked integrity inently qualify him for the office of probate judge. Dr. Charles S. Huffman of Columbus, Kan., whose candidacy for the nomination for Governor is being favorably received throughout the state. A safe, conscientious and conservative man. In traveling over Kansas we find that the name of Chas, S. Huffman was a candidate for the nomination for Governor on the Republican ticket is being mentioned most favorably. Dr. Huffman is a man of sterling worth. He is broad, capable and honest. A man who believes that deeds are the things that count along the lines of human endeavor far more than words. He has served his country during the Spanish-American war and was sent to the Philippines with the gallant Twentieth Kansas, under Colonel Funston, as one of the regimental surgeons, in which capacity he made an enable record for competency, bravery, and in every emergency was always found up in the firing line administering to the wounded and giving them the best possible medical attention, at the same time offering them words of encouragement and good cheer. As a private citizen the Doctor's life has been as an open book. The best testimony of a man's worth and character is his standing in the community where he has lived. In Columbus, the home of Dr. Huffman, he is loved and honored and the citizens of that locality, irrespective of their politics, take extreme delight in pronouncing him one of the best men in Kansas. He served two terms, a period of eight years, as State Senator from Cherokee county, and was always alert to subserve the interests of the people. He served on many important committees, and his wise and conservative counsel was at all times largely sought by many Senators. He is considered a leader in the Senate and his record as a Senator reflects great credit upon the voters of Cherokee county in selecting such a splendid man to represent them in the State Senate. He is a man of strong executive ability and his strict integrity and broad knowledge of public affairs eminently qualify him to fill the high office to which he is now aspiring. Few public men in Kansas have a record as spotless as Dr. Huffman. We believe that the nomination of Dr. Huffman for Governor would do more to harmonize Republican conditions in Kansas than any other action the Republican of Kansas could take. J. H. ELLIS ```markdown ``` Probate and Juvenile Court Judge of Cherokee County, Columbus, Kan. While in Columbus we had the pleasure of shaking hands with Judge J. H. Ellis, probate judge of Cherokee county. Judge Ellis has made one of the best probate and juvenile judges to be found anywhere. He is an able lawyer, understanding every phase of the law, especially that pertaining to the probate court. He takes a deep interest in juvenile court affairs, and his heart goes out to the has studied the boy and girl problem until he is now a recognized authority in juvenile affairs and no man in Kansas has done more toward finding good homes for orphans and neglected children. The judge is a candidate for renomination, and will possibly have no opposition. Many of the voters of Cherokee county believe that the probate court judgorship should be removed from politics, for the reason that the nature of the duties are such that it requires time and thought to master them, and when a capable and honest man fits himself by study and experience he should be retained, to the end that the public should receive the benefit of his acquired capabilities. Judge Ellis will no doubt be nominated and elected. --- R. J. Dickey, the capable and genial clerk of the district court of Crawford county, Kansas, is a candidate for nomination, and that he will be nominated and elected goes without saying. Mr. Dickey has made one of the best district clerks the court has ever had. He has brought the office up to the highest possible standard of efficiency and the well kept records of TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING APRIL 5, 1912. the court evidences more fully than would his high clerical ability and adaptation to the line of work required in that office. He is courteous and unassuming and at all times endeavors to conserve the best interests of the taxpayers. The voters will do well to nominate and elect Mr. R. J. Dickey to succeed himself. He is a favorite among all classes of people, all holding him in the highest esteem. Mr. Dickey is a man of his word, and his word is his bond. Through his splendid executive ability he has made his office one of the best regulated offices in Southern Kansas. We heard nothing but praise for Mr. Dickey in our travel through the county. He will be nominated on the 6th day of August, 1912. Headquarter at Independence, Kana. The Kansas Natural Gas Company, with headquarters at Independence, is an institution meaning much to the state of Kansas, giving employment to thousands of men and sparing their pains nor money to the end that its patrons receive at all times the best possible service. They operate pipe lines to 'opcka, Atchison, Leavenworth, Lawrence, Kansas City, Kansas, and other parts of the state where the most improved and up-to-date systems are instituted. While in cold weather it is impossible to give everyone a full supply all the time, yet the company makes every effort to do so and spends large sums of money in an effort to take care of its consumers. No company in Kansas has done more than the Kansas Natural Gas Company towards reducing the price of light and heat to the minimum and placing them both within the reach of the most humble. They have a beautiful and substantial office building in Independence, and when the treasurer arrives from Pittsburgh and locates his office in their beautiful building, Independence can justly boast of being the location of all of the officers of the Kansas Natural Gas Company, except the directors. The officers of the company are Eugene Mackey, president; A. B. Macbeth, general manager. A PROMISING YOUNG MINISTER. "It is a just saying, in every soil that he who thinks will govern he who toils." Under the glowing sparks of the poetic gem above comes Rev. William Thomas Biggers, who is one among the promising young ministers of the great African Methodist Episcopal Church. Although he has just reached his forteth year, the history of Rev. Biggers is as marvellous as it unique. The house in which he was born in the state of Tennessee, was built by his father's own hands, and was often used to hold meetings in as there was no Methodist church in that vicinity. Hence, Rev. Biggers was practically born in a Methodist church. In his early boy-hood days his parents moved to the city of Oswego, Kan., where they were privileged to give their son the advantage of a splendid common school education. In those days, in the city of Oswego the school-room capacity was very much limited; hence the school board was compelled to hire the A. M. E. Church for a school room, and it was during this period that Rev. Biggers, in his childhood entered the public school, and was assigned to the room that was being taught in the African Methodist Episcopal church. Later he was converted in this church, under Rev. P. Johnson, joined, was baptized and given full membership, elected Sunday School teacher and made Superintendent, all in the same church. The Rev. William Thomas Biggers at the age of eighteen went west and located in the city of Winfield, Kan., for the purpose of taking a course in art; in the regular course of time he graduated in work of free-hand drawing, crayon, pastel and water colors. After his completion in the work, he set up a studio and traveled through western Kan. and Okla, enlarging pictures and doing all kind of free-hand drawing. And it was while engaged in the picture business that he felt his calling to the ministry, and was licensed to peach under the pastorate of Rev. J. B Wallace, Rev John M. Walker son joining the Presiding Elder. Rev. Biggers immediately gave himself up to the regular work of the ministry, and in the year of 1891, March 10, was assigned by Presiding Elder A M. Ward to the pastorate of the A M. H. Church at Coffeyville, Kan. In September of the same year, he joined the Kan. Conference at Parson, Kan. The late Rt Rev. James A. Handy, D. D., then Presiding Bishop. On March 10, '96 he was ordained deacon at Kan. City, by the same Bishop. Bishop B. T. Tanner, D. D., ordained him an Elder in Omaha, Nebr. Sept. 1900. During the winter of 1800, while stationed at St. Paul Church, Kan. City, Kan., the Reverend studied theology at Western University; following this he was transferred to the Puget Sound Conference, and stationed at Portland, Ore., where he pursued his theological studies under the tutorship of Dr. C. E. Kline, D. D., of the Williamett College. Not liking the far west, the Reverend returned to the Kansas Conference and in connection with his pastorate, started a christian paper, i.e. The Christian Wayfarer, the name was later changed to The Central Christian Recorder. It has been said by men of broad journalistic experience that the Reverend is a genus in newspaper work. During the session of the Kansas Conference which convened in the city of Omaha, Nebraska, in 1901, the Reverend published a daily paper through THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN REV. WILLIAM THOMAS BIGGERS the entire session, that brought forth favorable comment by the late Bishop A. Grant and other great men. He was then elected first alternate delegate to the General Conference at Chicago, Ill. and to Norfolk, Va. in 1908. Here he received a strong vote of the editorship of the Western Christian Recorder. The Rev. William Thomas Biggers bears a reputation, throughout the west as being a splendid pastor, good financier and one among the most logical preachers in the connection. (As he reasons of righteousness, temperance and judgment to come, he makes Felix tremble in any congregation.) He is modest and unassuming, but thinks all the time; a great reader of the best literature, and sizes every opportunity to advance and improve his talent. He is easily styled as one of the leaders of his Conference. In the spring of 1910, he graduated in a course of shortband and type-writing, by mail, under his brother, Prof. C. A. Biggers, who is President of the "Biggers Business College" Muskogee, Okla., and in February 18, 1911, Rev. Biggers graduated with great honor, in Real Estate, Loans, Insurance, General Brokerage, and Commercial Law, from the Inter national Realty Corporation, Chicago, Ill. This institution places its graduates in a position to handle real estate by man in any part of the world. The subject of the above sketch is author of the Famous "Bigger's Coupon Collector and Receipt book"—also "The Morning Cometh," and is at present, along with his pastorate (assisted by his wife), editing the "Central Christian Recorder" Dr. Biggers is one of the most successful pastors in gathering in the people in the connection. On being appointed to the pastorate in Lincoln, Nebr., he found forty members on roll. He stayed four years, built a nice common-sense church, and left two hundred and four numbers. He is now sewing his fourth year in old historic Campbell Chapel, Atchison, Kansas, one of the leading charges of the Kansas Conference. During the Riverland's stay here, he has greatly increased the membership, has a flourishing congregation, has temodled a time to room patronage; making it the best and most beautiful patronage in the Conference; put new floor in the lecture room of the church, repaired the auditorium, changed the lights into a cluster form, organized two other improvements. And the majority of the people in Atchison are just as anxious to hear Rev. Biggers preach on his fourth year as they were when he first entered the city; for they claim that he gives them a new sermon every time he goes into the pulpit. Dr. Biggs is serving his second term as trustee of Western University. He is also a delegate from the Kansas Conference to the General Conference of 1912. The Doctor anticipates running an independent daily paper at the coming General Conference. It was predicted by Bishop Grant and other great leaders that some day Rev. Biggs would be one of the Bishops of the A. M. E. church. Chippings from Bishop's Grant's notes by the way, that appeared in the Christian Recorder, May 12th, 1910. Sunday, May 1st, I spent at Atchison, Kansas, with Campbell Chapel. Conducted the services at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. During the day three persons united with the church. The occasion was an effort of the trustees to raise funds to meet their obligations. Since Rev. W. T. Biggers has been assigned to this work, they have remodled the parsonage and made it one of the best in the Kansas Conference. They have also repapered the walls, put new flooring in the lecture room, and, in fact they have had a general cleaning up. And things take on a splendid appearance. Elder Biggers is a bundle of energy and has infused life and activity into the membership, which is felt in song and testimony. He I a useful man in any community. GREAT PREACHER GONE. GREAT PRECIOER GONE. The Shiloh Baptists succeeded in securing the services of Rev. J. B. Bolden, D. D., of Pine Bluff, Ark., one of the best known revivalists in the state of Arkansas, to assist the pastor in the special meetings for the unsaved. He came to Topeka and on Sunday, March 17, began with the prospect of a great meeting. He stated to the people that over his physician's protest he had come to assist in the meetings. He preached three powerful sermons, two on Sunday and one on Monday night. On Tuesday he called in Dr. Martin, who visited him each day until Friday, when he found him strong enough to make the trip home. Rev. Fishback accompanied him as far as Kansas City and stayed with him until his train pulled out for Pine Bluff. He arrived home Saturday at 5:30 p.m. as he stated in a letter to Rev. Fishback, "All O K, but very weak." All the members and friends of Shiloh who heard him were praying for his speedy recovery, in order that he might return at a later date and finish his engagement. He lived three days after returning home. Rev. Fishback received a telegram stating that he died Tuesday, March 25. The Shiloh Baptist church appointed a committee to draw up suitable resolutions, which were read at his funeral, Sunday, March 31. Dr. Bolden was one of the best known men of the state of Arkansas. He was a man of prayer, which accounted for his power with God and with man. His stay in Topeka was short, yet he made a host of sympathetic friends. He was stopping in the home of Deacon H. I. Monroe, one of the homes among our people in the city, and the best care and attention obtainable was given him. The citizens of Topeka desire to express their sympathy with the bereaved Our loss is heaven's gain. EASLER AT SHLOH.

Every member and friend of Shiloh is expected to be present. Come early and get your seat. By Simeon Oliver Clayton. On the 21st of March at Fort Smith, Arkansas, a mob of white men lynched an innocent Negro, Stanford Lewis, who was accused of having shot a deputy constable. After the gruesome tragedy was over, and innocent blood had been shed to appease the glut of frate demons, it was learned that Lewis was innocent and that the constable had been accidentally shot by a fellow officer, a local newspaper commenting upon the outrageous affair says: "It would be interesting to know what the feelings of the men were who made the mob after they learned the facts. " It made not a particle of difference with the mob whether the Negro was innocent or guilty. They had lynched a "nigger" and were clated over the fact. They had done just what they intended to do, and that with the least thought of theg unit or innocence of their victim. The mob is a mean, cowardly lot of offraff who hide behind righteously created sentiment and wade to their necks in the blood of an unprotected people. Some day a vibration of righteousness will arouse the better people from their lethergy and mob violence will be eternally crushed. Just a little pile of ashes; just a charred bone or two; just a little language emblegainning all the night long through; just another gruesome attest of the holding of the clan with the doctrine of God's fatherhood and the brotherhood of man. Just a few small bits and fibers, rudely torn from trunk and limb, and a threaded, blood stained garment from the hapless form of him, who, with prayers and woofal waitings, pleaded for the life he lost, through the travesty of justice in the mob's dire holocaust. Just another modern pastime; just a murd'rous revelry charged against the cultured children of a refined ancestry, who for centuries have boasted an exalted status grand, ranking high above the heatn of the dark, unchristianed land. Just a few more days of torture; just a few more earnest prayers; just a few more year-endurance, and the God, who knows our sins, will let down His arm of power in His own mysterious way, and the sons of prayer and patience shall behold a brighter day. "O, death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory? I Cor. 15: 53. There is nothing so universally drilled by the human family as death; the dissolution of body and soul. It gently covers the home with a cloud of gloom. It renders in twain the dearest ties. It crushes the heart, opens the fountain of tears and burdens us with a sorrow that we hold within our breasts until it comes our time to answer the final summons of the master. O, my the cloud, beyond thy sable curtains I behold a light eminating from the tomb of Jesus, out of which he rose in triumph over death and the grave. There is nothing more divinely beautiful and inspiring than the thought of the resurrection of the Savior and the life eternal in the blissful realm above. O glad Easter morn, all nature awakens and swells with love and beauty. Divine ecstacy rules within the heart, and the souls of men are shouting with sacred emotion CARBONDALE, KAN. A glorious mission rally was held here at the Second Baptist church Sunday evening. Services were conducted by our pastor, Rev. Jennings. Two interesting sermons were preached by Rev. Ray subsequent by a interesting congregational program. The collection for the day was small but the conversion of souls were great and made us feel that the power of God was with us. This was the greatest rally we have had here for sometime and it makes us more ambitious toward the word of God. REV. JENNINGS, Pastor LULU McAdoo, Clerk.

That is what free labor can do. Slave labor produced in, 1860,the year before the war 4,669,770 bales. In 1860 there were 4,500,000 slaves,every one of whom except the comparatively few engaged in domestic service and the mechanical trades, was engaged in cotton raising. In 1919, with quite 10,000,000 bales Negro population, 15,000,000 bales were raised by free labor,not more perhaps than one-half being engaged in cotton raising. Of course improved methods of much to do with it,but the fact remains that free labor is more productive than slave labor; and never would not he that the free Negro world in work has been knocked down and slammed every year since 1865 by the industrial statistics of the southern states, that do not lie, which show a productivity most marvelous in the history of mankind. —New York Age. Secretary of Jamaican Cricket Club of New York Makes Statement. .New York.—Brading as silly the assertion of T. L. McDonald, a native of Jamaica, to the effect that the color line is drawn in the West Indies between the blacks and mulattoes, R. Roger Melbourne, secretary of the Jamaica Cricket club of New York, comes out in statement that while class distinction exists in Jamaica, there is no discrimination on account of color. Mr. Melbourne expresses himself on conditions in Jamaica as follows: "I see that a student of Morgan college, Baltimore, Md., while partially agreeing with Mr. O'Connor De Cordova's article in refutation of Miss Mary Ovington's statement in the Sunday Herald 'that the negro is a man only in Europe', takes exception to the term 'negro' as used by Mr. De Cordova and alleges 'that the mulattoes in Jamaica are a distinct people from the blacks or negroes.'

He came forward out of justice to negroes in general and Jamaicans in particular (he being himself a Jamaican), and that the spirit of the article was taken by the editor was shown by the headline, 'Negro Also a Man in America.' "Mr. McDonald has made the assertion that mulattoes in Jamaica are a 'distinct people from the blacks or negroes.' That statement is sweeping and misleading. He is muddled in his fragmentary statement, and one would gather that the 'color line' is drawn. He has hopelessly mixed up color line with class distinction. "In New York city one hears much of the '400,' and in other localities the same class distinction, although during the recent visit of the Duke of Connaught New York '400' dwindled down to 300 or so. So you see in every community there must be the classes. In Jamaica the mass of the population is composed of negroes, and with the masses there are the world over penury and ignorance. "For convenience sake, according to Mr. McDonald's viewpoint, I will divide the negroes of Jamaica into two groups—the blacks and the mulattoes. There are among the blacks and mulattoes people of prominence socially nond otherwise, and the government of the colony are in the hands of these people with a few officials appointed by the colonial office in London. "That there is no color like in damma is well known; but there is certainly such a thing as class distinction. It is erroneous to think that there is a line drawn between the two groups of people. Among the blacks and mulattoes there are classes. The blacks of culture and refinement would not recognize as their social equal the uncouth mulatto, and vice versa; but both groups of the same class are par and receive the same social recognition from the MADE BY white man. Nor is it expected that the cultured of both groups would bring themselves down to the level of the peasant population. To bring it more clearly to the readers, the educated and refined class of Americans look down in sympathy with the ignorant negroes who are the cause of mob law in the south, and would not allow themselves to be put in a class with them. "Reforms are needed in all governments, and history teams with the names of reformists who have lived centuries ago, down to our times." Reform many progress. There are many men who have stood for the rights of the regio in Jamaica who are dead and gone. Mr. Cox is a reformer and is esteemed by Jamaicans at home and abroad, although many think him too radical in his views. "According to Mr. McLennald, we understand that because Mr. Cox raised a law and cry against negro oppression he was suspended by the authorities from the legislative council. The truth of the matter is that Mr. Cox was suspended by regular parliamentary procedure or account of what was considered an insult to the representative of the king. Indeed, he was consulted by his own colleagues and a motion for suspension and a vote of confidence in the governor, Sir Sydney Oliver, was moved. I think, by the Hon. D. A. Corinthall, member for the parish of St. James, a representative of the people." WAMEGO, KAN. Rev. Charles Chenault, who was born in Madison County, Ky., October, 1818, died at Wamego, Kan., March 20th, 1912, aged 73. He was converted at an early age, united with the A. M. E. church, and was a faithful member until his death. Was a soldier in the Civil War, receiving an honorable discharge April 2, 1867—serving three years. He was also a member of the O. P. Morton Post, G. A. R., No. 38, Wamego, Kan. Brother Chenault was twice married. To the first union was born four sons, only one of which survives him. He was married to Patty Scrivner, his second wife, February 25, 1875. To this union was born two sons, David of Kansas City and George of Wamego, Kan. He moved to Kansas about thirty years ago, locating at Blue Rapids and from there he moved to Wamego, where he resided until his death. Before coming to Kansas Rev. Chenault felt the call to preach the gospel. He was given local preacher license, serving his church as class leader, steward and preacher. On coming to Kansas he continued his work of the ministry. He became a member of the Kansas Conference and sustained a local deacon's relation at the time of his death. Brother Chenault was a holy gobet preacher, not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, testifying to its saving power by his Godly life. He served acceptably several charges in the Kansas Conference, but of late years being very much afflicted with rheumatism and other ills incidental to a soldiers life, was compelled to give up the active work of the ministry. At his home church was ever zealous for the cause and ceased not labor until the end. The day before he passed away he said to those who were standing beside his bed, "heaven's door has opened for me. I soon shall enter in." 'This last hours were filled with heavenly joy and imptune—eternal bliss anticipated. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. T. W. Green of Topeka, assisted by Rev. H. E. Henrie of Manhattan. The O. P. Morton Post, G. A. R. had charge of the remains, and used the beautiful and impressive ceremony of that order in burying. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. The deceased leaves to morn their loss a loving wife, three sons and a host of friends—the church and ministry a zealous worker and faithful minister. "Servant of God well done, Rest from thy loved employ. CHURCH NAPS DUE TO LONG SERMONS. Responding to an urgent call one night a minister hurried to the home of a parishioner, and entering, asked if he were ill. The man replied that he was not ill, but that he was troubled with insomnia. The parishioner stated that he could go to sleep with perfect ease when the minister preached and employed the neverend gentleman to deliver one of his sermons. This story, in substance, was told by the Rev. George E. Newell, as an introduction to his sermon yesterday morning at the "Third Presbyterian church, 2027 Walnut Street, Kansas City, Mo. "The Man Who Went to Sleep in church" was the subject, Acts XV.9, the text; "And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep; and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead." The pastor excused Eutychus in part because at the time he went to A Great Implement, Vehicle and Saddle Sale ...AT THE... Bunnell Implement and Seed Co.

The Pyramids were built for tombs and monuments to the memory of certain great men. But the frony of things is manifest when we consider that although the tombs remain, there is no authentic record as to whose memory they were erected. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built about 550 years B. C. by Nebuchadnezzar for the gratification of his queen. She was from the mountains, and the Babylonian pain seemed dreary to her. The declining days of Nebuchadnezzar, when he became a vegetarian, are familiar to all. Nebuchadnezzar was the first man to take to the tall uncut. His gardens were a plaything. They endured but a decade and then the worms and the weeds had their way. The Tomb of Mausolos was erected at Haharnassus by Artemisia, wife of Mausolos. The tomb was small but most elaborate—a dream in marble, gold and silver and precious stones, fit for a dead diety, but to the memory of a commonplace man. The creation was too exquisite, too precious to last. The hattarians overran the country and the tomb became one of the things that were. Haharnassus is remembered now only because it was the birthplace of Euterpe, mother of Themistocles. She made one remark to the Athenians that is deathless. "Yes, I am an alien, but my son is Themistocles!" Only great people can render a location unforgettable. The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue ninety feet high, representing Helios, the sun god, the national deity of the Rhodians. This great statue of bronze, made in separate parts and riveted together, bestrode the narrow entrance of the harbor. It was set up 280 years B. C. and in the Age of Ceasar was but a memory. It, however, supplied Cassius a good simile. The Statue of Zeus by Phidias was of marble, inlaid with gold, ivory and ebony. The statue was supposed to have been modeled from one made in the time of Homer, when the poet sat for the artist's model. The statue was fifty-two feet high -colossal in proportions. The Romans tumbled this statue from its pedestal and carried it away precinct. The Pharaoh was a rocky island on the Egyptian coast. Alexander connected this island with the mainland and at the entrance of the Harbor of Alexandria built a magnificent lighthouse the first maritime lighthouse created The Temple of Diana was built at Epheus 650 years BC. The worship of Diana otherwise the Goddess of Nature was the recognized religion of Ephesians. In its early conception it was a beautiful religion. But religions grown great and powerful lose their original virtues. Read history. In the time of Paul, the Temple of Diana was falling into decay and the material was being used for houses 109 SOUTH SUMMIT STREET. sleep and fell Paul was preaching a very long sermon, the Scriptures saying he continued the sermon until midnight and he also drew a lesson from the text for preachers, that they should not preach too long sermons. "That person tells the truth, who says that long sermons are often a sign of indolence," said the Rev. Mr. Newell. "The preacher is doing his winnowing of the chaff before his congregation instead of giving them the grain of truth which he should have extracted in his study. Some sermons are too short and should be called termettes instead of sermons. The need of the hour is not longer or shorter sermons, but better sermons. They should be weighed and not measured." Not only those who go to sleep during the sermon, but those who are asleep spiritually, were mentioned by the pastor who illustrated by telling a story of a visitor of another planet on a tour of investigation on our earth. The visitor saw much to awaken his interest and admiration. One day he saw a funeral procession and learned of death. He inquired as to the meaning of death and received vague and uncertain answers. He found that most people had some general idea but mangetal idea but many were so absorbed in the little passing events that they surely ever think of death or prepare for the hereafter. He was filled with horror and begged to go back to his own planet where people do not live such foolish lives. "There is nothing on earth so startling as religious indifference or a person who is spiritually asleep," the Rev. Mt. Newell said. "It is high time to awaken out of sleep and follow the example of Augustine, who while sleeping seemed to hear a voice saying, 'Take head.' Springing from bed he found the book open at the place where it says, 'The night is far spent, the day is at hand; put off the works of darkness, put on the armor of light.'" SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD Alexander the Great lived 350 years B.C. He conquered the world, or all he could find of it. He began his task when nineteen. He completed it at thirty, and died sighing for more worlds to conquer. We will never die from Alexander's disability. We see a milky way of worlds to conquer. Alexander made a list of the Seven Wonders of the World, and it was his proud boast that all of these were his personal possessions. He did not produce those Seven Wonders—the simply annoyed and took them over. Alexander's Seven Wonders of the World were: The Pyramids of Egypt The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The Tomb of Mausolos. The Colossus of Rhodes. The Statue of Zeus by Phidias. The Lighthouse on the Island of Pharos. The Temple of Diana. The Temple of Ithana. All these seven wonders are dust, living but in hearsay, save the Pyra- Implements, Wagons, Buggies, Harness and Rest. We have the Exclusive Agency for the Moon Bros., Henney, Anchor, Rock Island, to put out by the best factories in the world, Sattley and Pattie companies.

ARKANSAS CITY, KAN. and barns by any one who cared to appropriate it. Pliny says that the temple was 120 years in building. These Seven Wonders of the World were things of pride and pomp, constructed to glorify and amuse the few. Slave labor entered into their construction; and discord, death and misery for the many was the result of the proud plans of their making. Today, if we were asked to make a list of the Seven Wonders of the World we would name the things that contribute to human happiness and add to our well being—that make the world better in its day and generation. Men are living longer now than at any time in recorded history, because we are living better. Vital statistics for the past year show a lower death rate in America than has ever existed. As we put discord, fear, hate, doubt, jealousy and revenge out of our lives, harmony, health and happiness come in and make their homes with us. If I were now asked to name the Seven Wonders of the World, I would say they are: The Telephone. The Tulley Car. The Incandescent Lamp. The Steel frame Skyscraper. The Automobile. The Hoe Rotary Press. The Typewriter. These things minister to all the people. They influence the lives of every same and efficient person. They serve us daily. Unlike the Seven Wonders of Alexander, none are for the exclusive few. All represent inventions, not merely individual things. They can never die, because they represent ideas that are self-duplicating. The principles for which they stand sprang from the brains of individuals, but now these principles are the priceless heritage of the living world. Men may die and turn to dust, but the record of their dreams, once made tangible, remains. RIOT CLAIMS SETTLED The people of Danville, Ill. sued for $132,000, and with the compromise settlements, the city is to pay to the various claimants about $10,000. This is the fruits of lawlessness. This is a vast sum and would build hard roads 20 miles East, West, North and South of this city and keep them in repair for several years. This is probably the first time in history of the nation where a city actually had to pay not claims where the riot was caused on the account of race troubles. We hope the lesson will be salutary and that all will profit by this loss of $40,000 -The Forum.

We have had flap-jacks and muthins, and the best muthins I ever ate were made from this flour. For flap-jacks it has corn meal skinned a city black.

EVERYBODY CAN HAVE AN IDEAL HOME HEALTHFUL PROVERBS OF AFRICA. Primitive Wisdom and Philosophy in Terne Expression. Mrs. Isabella Fylicie Mayo of Aberdeen, Scotland, has just published an interesting brochure under the title "Stories and Sayings of the Continent of Africa," in which I am sure readers of "The Sun" interested in Negro folkhore will find much to entertain them. The work is published by C. W. Daniel, A. Amon Corner, London, L. C. Mrs. Mayo has rendered a distinct service to the Africans here and abroad in putting in shape these specimens of wit and wisdom of the African: I submit a few samples of the tribes that are back of the black man's palm. The white man is the father of merchants, and want of money is the father of disgrace. Ask a fly back on the face of Him who was then He peeked entangled when gats are wet in the same post. Quantity has voice. He is not uppoon and well thun rick and all (Wonder if wea thy dysp- tion will indorse thle?) The handback is never told to tack upright. He is that arrive first drinks the nearest water. N e gives a cat to a hyena to keep N o an aclever enough to lick him self on the back. He who will not take advice gets knowledge when trouble overtakes him The camel has his own opinion and the camel driver has his. What is in a monkey's mouth may not be his; it may belong to the hunter. Not to aid one in distress is to kill him in your heart. Working in competition quickens the hands. He who marries a beauty marries trouble. If you don't praise me don't spoil my good name. Corn near the path never ripens. He who knows a matter beforehand can confuse the liar. A bride blinds the judge's eyes, for a bride never speaks the truth. Gold should be sold to him who knows its value. Hope is the pillar of the world. He who forgives ends the quarrel.

San BOOKER WASHINGTONS HENIMONY. Prohibition is the greatest blessing to my race since the Emancipation Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. As a practical proposition it is a blessing, economically, socially, industrially, morally and religiously Since Atlanta has been prohibition territory, colored people have bought two of the amount of property they did before Similar results are apparent everywhere N. terths of the lynchings are cause, first, by alleness, and then by cloak, whisky, which clogs the brains of bad white men and colored men. Take away the whisky, and you will decrease the lynchings by 90 per cent. With my name it is the open saloon, with the physical attraction of whisky, that leads to demoralization. — Brower, Washington, in address, Ch. 1, March 11, 1912. WINFIELD, KAN. Rev. R. Cox, of Salina, is conducting revival services for Rev. W. P. Warder at the Second Baptist church. They are having excellent success. Rev. Payne, P.

Mr. Lawrence Works, of Oxford, was a visitor here Thursday, on business. Estelle Warwick, of Arkansas City, a boy who passes natural talent for carving life like images out of clay with a pen knife, spent Sunday in the city. He is creating a sensation with his work.
