Through Dr. Peck's Efforts the West Secures the Great A. M. E. General Conference Which Convenes Next Month With His Church (Allen Chapel) at Kansas City, Mo. Among the most forceful of the younger class of our ministry is the Rev. William H. Pech, D. D., the present pastor of Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo., the seat of the General Conference to convene in May, 1912. Both by inherited qualities and personal requirements he has an unusual endowment for his high calling, and at an early age he turned to preparation for his life's work. Before he was twenty he had graduated from Wilcoforce University, taking a full course in Theology; and immediately thereafter he entered upon a series of appointments that have been progressive in their growth and importance. Receiving his diploma in 1898, his first charge was Harvesburg, Ohio, followed by Marydel, Md. His ordination as deacon at the hands of the late Bishop James A. Hardy and as elder by Bishop B. T. Tanner followed close upon each other. He was taken from Marydel to become a Professor of Systematic Theology at Western University in the day when things seemed dark. There, pruning and teaching, he cheerfully endured hardships and privations that few a acceptable in the pastorate as he was would have home; but that God removed his labors the present excellent institution of learning at Quindara, Kampas proves. Dr. Peel subsequently pastored at Charlotthe Moor; St. Charles Moor; Hamthal Moor; and Los Angeles, Cal. hefoe being assigned to his present great charge. Succeeding one of the most popular divines in our church in Los Angeles, Dr. Peek met the seventh test in his whole career, unless it might be the Kansas City appointment he now holds, where he followed his distinguished brother, Dr. P. Jesse Peck, a great pastor and pulpitcer.

The signal distinction of entertaining the General Conference comes to him also in this his fourth year. In preparation for that event, he has organized a whole city, and snatched success from apparent defeat. When no other auditorium could be obtained, by building an addition to his church seating 527 more persons, and all done in less than six months. The addition contains a swimming pool, shower baths, toilet's and provisions for boys clubs, library, music and night schools, making it the future civic center of our people in the West. The total was $7,000, and the whole city, without regard to race, contributed. While pastoring in Los Angeles, Dr. Peck availed himself of the opportunity afforded by the Southern California University to take medical lectures. Besides his other accomplishments, he is a musician of no mean ability, playing the piano and violin cello with skill; and possessing a rich bantone voice which he uses most effectively in his church service. A man of meessant activity, he has found time to inspire higher civic as well as moral ideals among the people; nor has he been lathing in business leadership, for he recently organized the Temple Shoe Company, of Kansas City, a flourishing enterprise, and the only colored shoe company in the West. He was also one of the promoters and directors of the Allenworth, California colony. Dr. Peck's ministry owes much to God's gift of a model wife. Married to Miss Tannie B. McCampbell in 1891, she has been in the tuest sense his second self. Cheerful, kind and sociable, she sways a wonderful influence over young people and her social organizations among them make the church and parsonage a center of gladness and innocent pleasures.

He is a delegate from the Southwest Missouri Conference to the General Conference soon to sit in his own church in Kansas City. As to the completeness of his organization and preparation for that great body's reception and comfort, let its members speak. The attention of the whole Christian world is now looking towards Kansas City, Mo., where the General Conference of the A. M. E. church will convene.

Peck labored hard to secure this conference for the West and Kansas City; sacrificed and long. He created an addition to the church at a cost of several thousand dollars, with a seating capacity of fifteen hundred. The church is now one of the most modern and best equipped in the United States. It has all the modern conveniences necessary for public health, a large swimming pool, shower bath, laundries, kitchen, dining rooms, reception rooms and committee rooms. He has secured Convention hall for the opening of the General Conference, with one hundred and fifty voices under Prof. Jackson of Western University, one of the finest musical instructors in the country. This will be a Monday night, May 6. Over ten thousand and people will be on the floor of the Akronium. They will also lend Sunday services in the Main Office due Rev. Peck's own wife, who has done much to a great work. She is the leading writer among the young, both in the church, sun- day school, and Christian Endeavor. She is highly cultured, una ming, Christian lady who always thinks it hairy to help those who are strong going for the betterment of them con- dition, a so the wise need the advice and care of Christian teaching. We look forward to the time when Gev Peek will be one of the bl hope of the A. M. P. church. He is a preacher who does things. He is not only a spiritual missioner, but a business advent.

Manager Griffin Interviews a Few of the Leading Candidates. Mr. E. Clemans, registrar of deeds of Miamn County, is a native son, forty-six years of age, and has been a live wife all of his life. He is a democrat, and is asking a chance to serve the voters and taxpayers in a second term in this office. He is a humble dealer, and the same method that browns it access in his personal must have been employed in admitting the affair of the people. He was granted the people' money with a certain, and conducted the business of the office in a way that he had a savior.

He came to Miami county in 1851, and has been active at trainee and in other business most of the time in the city, in the and Harbor county. Mr. Benson was a charter of the Oswatoto State Bank from 1851 to 1861, and since that time has been engaged in the abstract and begun business in Oswatoto.

He is a thorough business man and in every way qualified for this responsible office. As teacher, banker and broker he has made good and proven himself reliable and strictly fair and honest in all of his transactions. Mr. Beeson has many warm personal friends throughout the county who are urging his nomination which seems to be meeting with popular favor. Personally, Mr. Beeson is pleasant, affable and easy to approach. He is a friend of labor and believes in giving those who toil the broadest opportunities. He is making a vigorous campaign and is qualified and deserving of the office to which he aspires. 0. A. Hinkle, clerk of the district court, Miami counties, has made good in the office, and is asking the voters for a second term. It has always been the custom of the Republican party to give office holders a second term, hence Mr. Hinkle is only asking what he richly deserves and has merited. Mr. Hinkle is a young man of rare ability, courteous, kind and polite, and during his official career has made many warm friends among men of all political parties. He has conducted the office of clerk of the district court on an economical basis, and in doing so has saved money for the taxpayers. He is honest, fair and square in all of his transactions and exercises the same care in the execution of the county's business as he does in personal transactions. Mr. Hinkle has made a splendid clerk, and the voters and taxpayers of the county appreciate him and his work. He was born in Lawrence County, Kentucky, November 20, 1879, and I was left motherless when a small child. At the age of five years he came to Kansas with his parents. Here he grew to manhood. During the summer young Hinkle worked on the farm and did chores for his board during the winter months and schooled himself. Completing his education, he engaged in teaching school, which profession he followed for ten years—one year in Douglas county and nine years in Miami BIDDLE FOR DISTRICT JUDGE Among our announcements in this issue will be found the name of Judge W. R. Biddle, of Lort Scott, who asks for the Republican nomination for judge of the Sixth Judicial district. Mr Biddle has lived in Kansas since Dos, and for more than forty years has been one of the leading attorneys of Eastern Kansas.

This writer has known Judge Biddle since infancy, and a bigger, warmer hearted man never breathed the breath of life. He has always been a staunch true friend to the poor, and his candidacy will meet with popular favor among all classes. To the colored people Judge Biddle has always ben particularly kind, not only sympathizing with them, but lending assistance whenever the opportunity presented itself. No colored man, woman, or child ever appealed to the big hearted Judge without receiving a willing response. Judge Biddle is one of the best known men in Eastern Kansas, and if the people in Linn, Bourbon and Crawford counties honor him with their confidence they will have no cause to regret, and at the same time appease the cherished ambition of a patriot, lawyer, citizen and diplomat. PAOLA. KAN. Miss Claribel Ray, who died here last week, was a young woman of rare and exceptional attainments. She was about 19 years of age, born, reared and educated in Paola and was respected and esteemed by members of both races. She was always of a pious turn of mind, uniting at an early age with the Baptist church and remained a faithful and dutiful members until her death. She was an active worker in every department of church and Sunday school, scattering sunshine and good cheer wherever she went. It was a genuine pleasure to come in contact with this gentle and soul inspiring young lady. To have known her was to love, admire and honor her for her many splendid and noble qualities. During her long illness she exemplified patience and Christian attitude to a marked degree, always greeting her visitors with smiles and comforting words. Her sister, Miss Dimple, who was a few years her senior, died about five months ago. Their never were two more devoted sisters, than Dimple and Clarabel. Their devotion to each other was the comment and admiration of the whole community, "They were one in life," and following each other so closely to the "great beyond," we may say "they are one in death." Miss Clambel was a studious and industrious girl and would have graduated from the High school had not her health failed her. She was greatly loved by all of her Church K. C.

Extracts from Gilbert Thomas Stevenson's Great Book—Published in 1910. Extent of Actual Disfranchisement. It is impossible to tell how many Negroes have been actually disfranchised by the suffrage laws of the South. The following figures show to some extent how the Negroes have been disfranchised: A county of 8,000 whites and 11,700 Negroes. No jurors. A county of 3,000 whites and 23,000 Negroes. Negroes soemtimes serve on juries in this county. A county of 6,000 whites and 18,000 Negroes. Never had any Negro jurors. A county of 7,000 whites and 7,000 Negroes. Negroes can serve if they are registered voters but few of them. In one county in Mississippi having a population of abut 8,000 whites and 11,700 Negroes in 1900, there were only thirty Negro voters. In another county having 30,000 Negroes only 175 were voters in 1908. In another county in Mississippi with 8,000 whites and 12,000 Negroes only 400 white men and 50 Negroes were voters. In a county in North Carolina having 5,700 whites and 7,500 Negroes, a Negro has never voted in the county. In Mississippi in 1906 only one out of 30 male persons, of voting age, voted. In a district in Mississippi with a population of 190,855—2001 votes were cast for John Sharp Williams. These figures show that the ratio of actual voters in the South are astoningly smaller than in other states, due to the disfranchisement of the Negro Negro Jurors in the South. Albany—County—10,000 whites; 13,000 Negroes. Negroes are not allowed on juries. On one occasion a Negro was drawn by a tittle. He insisted on serving, cleaning they had no right to discharge him.

Separate Count In South Carolina a law was on the statute book from 1865 to 1867 providing for separate courts for Negro and white citizens. A District court was given exclusive jurisdiction of all civil cases, subject to appeal of all cases where either one or both of the parties was a person of color, and of all criminal cases wherein the accused was a Negro Different Punishments Alabama, Florida and Georgia prescribe a heavier penalty for formi- cation and adultery between white people and Negroes than between the same race. South Carolina makes it a felony for a Negro to steal $10.00 or more while it is only a misdemeanor if done by a white person. In some of the states—South Carolina, Florida and Mississippi their vagrancy laws apply only to Negroes. In Mobile, Alabama the Commissioners established a curfew ordinance providing that on and after July 21, 1909 all blacks must be in bed at 10 p. m. MERCY AS WATERMAN. In Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi, prior to the Civil War and in some of of them since Negroes were not allowed as witnesses in any case except where one or more of the parties were a loyed. Those laws have all been repealed by legislative enactment or annulled by the courts. Negroes in Virginia. South Carolina, Arkansas, North Carolina and Georgia did not permit Negroes in the states. Negroes in Labor Unions. In several of the great industries North and South the Negro is a much a part of labor unions as a there seems to be more opposition white men to them joining the Unions in Philadelphia than in any other place in the North. Negroes in Insurance Companies. Five states—Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio, New York and Michigan have deemed it necessary to pass laws prohibiting discrimination on account of race by life insurance companies. Some of the large insurance companies do however discriminate for that reason. Educational Test. In 1855 Connecticut required voters to read their state constitution in order to be able to vote. Present law as amended in 1897 requires ability to read the constitution and statues in English. In 1889 the constitution of Wyoming required the reading of the constitution in English and the signing of one's name in English to be entitled to vote. In Alabama he must be able to read the constitution of the United States and write it in English. In Georgia he must read and write in English the constitution of the United States. In Georgia he must read and write in English the constitution of the United States. In Louisiana he must be able to read and write and to make out his application in his own handwriting. North Carolina requires ability to read and write the state constitution in English. Oklahoma, North Carolina, Alabama, Virginia Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi and Maryland have the Grandfather clause. Ownership of property is an alternative to educational test in some states for voting. If they cannot read or write but own a necessary amount of property they are allowed to register and vote. In Alabama the property requirement is that he must be the owner or husband of the owner of forty acres of land in the state or of personal property worth $300 upon which the preceding year's tax have been paid. In Georgia forty acres or $500 in personal property is required. In Louisiana the requirement is $300 worth of property and payment of all taxes to date. In South Carolina it is $100 worth of property on which taxes have been paid. Mississippi, North Carolina and Virginia have no property requirement. Payment of Taxes. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee require the payment of taxes as a requisite to voting of these Alabama, Arkansas and North Carolina require the payment of poll tax for one year prior to election. Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi for two years preceding the election and Virginia for three years preceding the election. Delaware, Pennsylvania and the Philippines have a tax qualification of the right to vote. Jim Crow Laws. 1891 Georgia passed such a law. 1902 Louisiana. 1904 Mississippi. 1905 Tennessee and Florida. Intermarriages Laws of the states and of the District of Columbia prohibiting intermarriages of whites and blacks have been attacked on the ground that they violated article 1, section 10 of the United States Constitution and that they contravene part of the 14th amendment. Twenty-six states prohibit intermarriage between whites and Negroes. Intermarriage in Boston. 1900—Colored men and white women 32. White men and colored women " 1901—Colored men and white women 30. White man and colored woman 1. Litigation on Employment. In Alabama Negroes denied license to train tabulion. I Saw in Carolina it was unlawful for a Negro to run a distillery. In one of the Gates there was a illustration on holding land as fortants. Calling a White Man a Negro Saw in Carolina. Louisiana and Georgia make it an offense and not legal as label in slender for any person to call a white person a Negro or nigger. The supreme court of South Carolina, Louisiana and Georgia have held these statutes valid. NEW LABOR DILL A TAFT POLICY Liability and Compensation Measure Progressiva. President Approves Proposed Legislation Making Federal Labor Laws Fit Modern Conditions—Legal Machinery Simplified. As the result of the personal interest of President Taft in all matters affecting the workingmen of the country congress has before it today a one-preclusive bill on employees, labor and workmen's compensation which is recognized as one of the most progressive of the many achievements of the Taft administration. The bill was reported by a commission appointed by President Taft and sent to a joint resolution of congress passed on June 27, 1910, and it was recently sent to congress by the president, accompanied with a message recommending passage. As directed the transitive provides an exclusive remedy and compensation for accidental injuries resulting in disabilities or death to employees of common carriers, and in interstate or foreign commerce on in the district of Columbia. This comprehensive legislation is the direct outcome of the game of all all factories of all industries by congress in recent years and will illustrate the last method of ing an admitted will by a pilot in investigation followed by a considered law. We will know the first employer's liability law passed in the last indistinction was could not be constituted by the courts. A law to take the place of a law to take the place of this administration, but so crically indebted at the time that the comprehension may be now congress was to follow. Both as to liability and can operation, as on the occasion investigation in the subject could be made. The said is that the value of the United States, so far as it can be calculated be for, will be the value in let alone of the most well known by law laws. Proud to have been a part of the community. I am very proud of the community and I am very happy to be a part of it. I am very proud of the community and I am very happy to be a part of it. It is provided in the bill that the in- jury let usprise shall have no liability tongue and tongue held when the court, the last mention of it, be called to $200. The injury's cost of an employee are deemed to be twenty-six threes the established day, and $20 is the minimum monthly wage pay- ment. It is also provided that all con- pensation shall be paid monthly unless compromised to a jump sum. Draft is insured provided for at a specific percentage of the man's wages to be paid to the widow with an in-cause in the account when the care dependent children, and in case of no dependents the present out of the initial expenses is required. The tender of personal injury compensation is also covered in a fair and equitable pro- Another feature of the proposed act is a clear definition of the term "dependent" as well as of what constitutes an "history" and an "compliance" legal compilations are provided for reports of accidents, payments and operations under the law to the interstate commerce commission are required, and it is defined that the proposed act shall take effect on July 1, 1912, and cited as "the federal compensation act of 1912." In its investigations of this subject the commission determined at the outset that in substituting the disorders of the common law of originating under comparatively simple conditions were not just as applied to the complex relations of master and servant. The use of complicated machinery, stairs and electricity has had the effect of increasing the disposable opportunity between employer and employee and often giving a few injured employees higher and greater pay. In some cases while the great majority have been fit to bear the great burden without any reason whatsoever. At the time of the publication of the common law rules of that day the police trial on the same case was not to be sent from those of the Thames to the place where was smaller law than the other law, the law of industrial property, the law of business and of war still in action, the appliances used in the work consisted of hand tools while the power was placed in the motor with little chance to the outliers. This is in addition to the law of commerce and war.

The old rules of liability under the common law were adapted to a different age and condition and were DELEGATED PLEGED TO TAFT.

It was treated as a personal matter of each employee, and the employees were put on a level of dealing which, however it may have been in the past, certainly creates injustice to the employee under the present conditions. The attention of congress to the great injustice of the present system was called by President Taft. He mentions the fact that often the recovery of large sums in damage verifies did not result in actual benefit to the injured person on account of the heavy expenses in litigation. The president expressed the belief that this landlord would disgrace with the consent of the proposed wrist tie coiffers are limited to a certain amount. As such, it is by the president, "the great coil" of the proposed law is so severe that it is "of party jurisdiction modern conditions." He also declares that he would use his in finance to aid in the enactment of the proposed law before the adjournment of the present session of congress. ROOSEVELT PRAISED TAFT. Former President Lauded Successor Before New York Republicans One of the most compilations five in- dentments that the Taft administration has ever resolved was contained in the speech of Colonel Theodore Posewell as temporary chairman of the New York Republic in state con- vention at San Diego, N. Y., Sept. 27, 1910. The first two paragraphs of the speech were as follows: "We are hopeful that we have the right to appeal to the people from the standpoint of national and state achievement. During the last eighteen months a long list of laws stablishing legislation most heartily to be compelled as combining wisdom with progress have been enacted by congress and approved by President Taft. The amendments to the interstate commerce law, beginning of a national legislative program for the exercise of the taxing power in connection with big corporations doing an interstate business, the appointment of a commission to frame measures that do away with the use of capitalization and of impregnation of expensive issues of stocks and bonds, the law providing for publicity of campaign expenses, the establishment of the minimum and minimum tariff provisions and the exceedingly able resolution of the Canadian and other treaties in accordance therewith, the inauguration of the policy of providing for a disinterested revision of tariff schedules through a bilateral commission of experts which will treat each state purely on its own merit will be slow to protecting the country with excessive prices and to the world producer and especially the American wage worker who will represent the difference of cost in profit from the commercial with the cost of production in countries where it is less lucrative, the extension of the law regulating safety applications for the protection of labor and the creation of a barrier of fines. These and similar laws, backed up by executive action, reflect both credit upon all who succeeded in putting them in their present shape upon the statute to bonds. They represent an aspect of the achievement which has yet come and the best influence and fostering importance of this work due to the whole people men are the credit which is likely due to the congress to treat, upright and dilligent presidents, William Vaughan.

After looking backward each girl was allowed to peep into the future by reading her fortune from a dainty and pretty teacup which was kept as a souvenir.

MADE BY --- ! wine as the Postoffice as Repubs as Second Ideas Wall Water WHAT OF ROOSEVELT? When Theodore Roosevelt left the presidential chair nearly four years ago, and set his eyes upon the jungles of Africa, many Americans thought that his aspirations to become a king or czar would be fulfilled in that benighted land, knowing as they did that his desire for power was unsatisfied in this land of democracy, but none, at least very few, then believed him so foolish as to attempt such a scheme in the United States. But on his return from Africa and the Far East without such honors, this befallen chieftain soon dispelled this belief, among Americans, for no sooner was he on firm soil than he was in the rut with common ward healers seeking lost laurels. He was most unconscionously buried under an avalanche of disapproving ballots. The objection Roosevelt is now asking the American people to select him as president again of the United States and is opposing President Laft on the ground that he is for the people while Taft is for the "bosses." If the "interests" or trusts are for the people, then truly is Roosevelt for the people, for he is the choice of the "interests" while the action of President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham in waging war on the trusts has put him in bad with the money power. Let's see. In 1907 Roosevelt was urged to curb the trusts. He attempted, but just as he started to move against them there was a "little squeeze" in financial circles and Roosevelt found himself in the midst of a "financial flurry." Those whose memory is not short remember how they could not draw their money from the banks; how the banks took it upon themselves to issue script, known as clearing house certificates;" and if they remember this they also remember how quietly Mr. Roosevelt dropped the prosecutions of the trusts. It was a brave act indeed and it is said that Mr. Roosevelt extended his bravery to a still further degree and assumed the responsibility of lending two hundred and fifty millions of dollars of government funds to Wall Street to tide said "financial flurry." Because President Taft achieved victory where Roosevelt dared not tread the "interests" have selected the latter to oppose the former. Do the people of this great nation suppose Mr. Roosevelt to be spending the hundreds of thousands of dollars in the campaign he is waging? Out here in Kansas is Henry Allen spending his money for Roosevelt? Are the people maintaining the luxurious quarters in New York, Washington and Chicago from whence cometh hundreds of thousands of dollars of Roosevelt literature? If the people are doing all this then might Mr. Roosevelt claim that he alone represents the people, but if not, then Mr. Roosevelt represents the "interests" and they represent him. The trusts would dope out to Mr. Taft what they did to Roosevelt in 1907 if the Democratic party was not in such close conjunction to the machinery of this government and they will hold this final "jolt" for that party if the "progressives" succeed in defeating the Republican party in November. As to the recall of judicial decisions there is only one which Roosevelt desires to recall and that one is the case where the New York World and the Indianapoplis Sun was not convicted for exposing the crookedness of Theodore Roosevelt in the Panama Canal deal. Yours for the people, JOHN M. DORSEY. We want the women, of Kansas, to have the right that men have to vote on all propositions. They are just as important and more reliable and trustworthy. They are the salt of the earth—let no man put asunder. There was never a sea half so dangerous as the tempestous ocean of life. The Titanic was built by master workmen. It was the climax of skill and experience. As a vessel of speed, strength and eloquence, it was the pride of the ocean, but in the grip of God's material forces it was less than a child's toy. God alone is Master. He speaks and the waves obey. Who can tell in fitting style or language the sad and awful story of the great sea disaster in the Northern Atlantic, Sunday, April 14. All attempts at portrayal are but futile efforts. The horrible affair is so shockingly appalling, the tongue grows languid, the pen drugs heavily, whirls, and we are lost in the subline enormity of that one greatest marine tragedy. "God lives and all is well." It is only through the tranquil beauty of faith that we poor, weak creatures realize the fullness of this truth. No wonder the pious man prays for faith to believe. When we believe that God lives and all is well, how soon he dies, our tearful eyes and draws the fangs of terror. When we believe in the Supreme goodness of God, how readily He calms our troubled hearts and bids our sorrowsease. Without faith, what miserable creatures we are. Where faith originates supreme, fate has no terrors, hence, sustained and soothed by faith we say this is my appointed lot, but "God lives and all is well." ROOSEVELT BIDDING FOR DEMOCRATS. Greensboro, N. C., April 22.—If Colonel Roosevelt gains the nomination for president he will come to the South, he said today, in an effort to win it over. He made a claim to the support of Democrats as well as Republicans, and said he woul embark upon a determined campaign to break up the solid south. "I have a right to the support of every heir to the Jacksonian Democracy," he said in his speech here. "I am fighting for the principles in which the great bulk of the people of the South believe and they are kept away from me only by name. I am going to see to it that they are not kept away by a more name. I shall fight so that they will vote the way they feel—and when I fight, I fight." In another part of his speech he said: "When I am nominated I will do my best to get the old 'tar heel' state." You colored folks who are for Teddy should study the above speech. He says it is only the name that keeps the Southern Democrats from him. We thought so all the while, as he and the South agreed on the Brownsville affair. By the way it was his followers who started the Laly White movement in the South. If Rosey and the solid South get together the colored man may as well get ready for a struggle that will cause untold misery. Relating to Equal Suffrage. Chapter 337.

Able Biblical Students Wind Up Newspaper Discussion---May "Choose Up" and Hold Big Public Debate About Baptism. Edit or Plaindealer. short time afterwards the infant dies. Now, I turn this child over to you. I was much interested in reading the answer of Rev. Barclay to a former article written by me, and although he differed from my position, he did it in such a courteous, candid and gentle manly manner that he compels my admiration. Now as to the continuation of this discussion, nothing would please me better if it is of interest to the readers of the Plaindaleer. But of course, if only, say right to ten per cent of its readers, care for such reading. I don't presume the management would care to continue them. I didn't want to do anything to curtail the progress of the Plaindaleer, and in a future article I want to launch a proposition for the benefit of our paper that I sincerely hope will meet with the hearty cooperation of Plaindaleer readers. In the first place I must say a few words in answer to my long-time friend Rev Richardson. I must be very careful a to how I choose words, as expect I will get a whipping when this comes back to Bedford, as everybody here thinks the Rev is the only thing that ever happened, both Methodist and Baptist. I cannot plaint exemption myself from commending with the manumus verdict that the Rev is an extremely good fellow. But while I unite in that applause to a noble character that would not warrant my adoption of the creed I should have seen a Baptist of the struttest, as all of my folks are unequivocally and unchangeably Baptist. Anything that pertains to the Baptist cannot be wrong with them. It doesn't make any difference whether it is approved by the Bible or not, they don't look for confirmation from that sense. The reason I make my escape is because I happened to get to reading the Bible. Now in crief of Creeds vs Christianity the Rev was among astronomers, theologians, spiritualists, got in a biplane, monoplane and sailed among the diverging air currents, then took a sudden drop to the brake and food of earth. Quite a drop. Now what was all of this taphsily for? Only to bolster up one of the main characteristics of the Catholic church, viz. to keep the people in the dark by throwing air and the sacred form of religion all the mystery of which they were capable. Now, because one does not belong to the Baptist or Methodist church all of the Bible is an unfathomable mystery to them. One must be initiated into the sacred interest of the creeds. Now, in all the wanderings of the Rev. he never once mentioned the Bible, that holy book that is bound up in so much mystery, and one cannot understand it outside of the Baptist church. Now what does the gospel say? Search ye the Scriptures. What is the benefit of that injunction when it is impossible to understand it. But he further says the way is so plain that a wayfitting man, though he be a fool, need not err thereon. Then have we no right to judge! Matt 20, 7th ye say: "Judge a tree by the fruit it bears." Now, what are the fruits of the spirit, love, peace, humility. You ask me to state my belief I have now. Had I the running of J. A. Bowie, the affinity of Billee Sunday and the cloquence of la lage, I might formulate a creed or at least a theory. But, as it is, the Bible is the only creed I have, and that is the repentence, faith in Christ and expressly the keeping of the commandments, so that says he loves God and keeps not his truth is not in him. I John 2-4. I have kept my brother's command me and made by his love N. W. Rev. Barclay, I group your attention on three divisions. First, in fine Baptism, second, the Jewish school third, John's baptism Christ said: "Better little children to come into me" "Except ye be as he hence, when you cannot enter the kings door of heaven." Throughout all of his teachings he top, sent them as absolutely perfect. Now let us make a case. Mrs. Jones and family are proficient in mathematics and of care nothing about infant short time after and the infant dies. Now, I turn this child over to you. Where are you going to put him? Have you a superior place for this child? I think common sense is the most potent factor in eliminating and cleaning up most problems. All the teachings of Christ is founded upon common sense. The laws of our civil government, of society, of the great industrial affairs of our great nation have for its basic principle, common sense. Jesus said the child is just as good as it could be, in fact, perfect. Then it would seem ambiguous for small n in to attempt to strengthen, that which God says is impregnable. Then it would indicate that the man-ordained institution of infant baptism is incongruous, superfluous and inadvertent. Now for the sound of thun ordinations, You baptize children, you raise them up in the church, they learn their routine. They set their parts mechanically after they they live a dual life and come to the bad of affliction; they have never been converted, and without conversion, repertory and baptism, where does the Devil not then. I would like to refer to your comment on the pre-Christian length, been I claim that the most important feature of the Christian way, but the lack of space and notheses me to be as brief compete with the weight of the subject in a state of that the church of the Musical dissension was not given in away with, in over to me, but simply transferred to other laborers who continued the same customs in vogue by their predecessors and kept invade the decrees espoused by the scribes and priests; they in turn turning over to their successors three thousand pentascolal members. My Bible informs me that God made a covenant with the children of Israel. This covenant which was a natural agreement was to be kept on the part of the Israelites in order to obtain the promised reward, Ex. 19. The Israelites broke the covenant, and I Sam 8:57. Then God overturned them England, retaining His promise of covenant with Abraham that to the seed of Abraham would be given this land forever. Now who is the seed of Abraham? Now, he did not say seeds as of many, but seed which is Christ. Then the kingdom of Israel was taken from them. Read Ize 21-25-23. I will overturn it and it shall be no more until he come whose right it is and I will give it him. Ize 21-27. Now in the overthrow of the Jewish church, he established upon the rims the order of Grace and humility, and also overthrew the rights of circumcision and other immorals accessories pertaining to the types and shadows of the ceremonial law. Now in regard to John's baptising (10,000) in six months, that seems as though it was stretching the credulity to the limit. Rev that is putte a gigant's task that Sampson performed in hating down the building on his enemies. If we look in the Bible to find impossibilities, how easily they are found. The Bible says John baptised all Judea Samuel's mother gave him to the Lord and Rome ruled the whole world. These passages are to be taken in connection with other readings. Now I must stop and hope we can find some topics in which we agree. LASPTR KTENE, Belford, 14 Answer to Mr. Mitchell on Baptism. List of Plansale: After nothing N. A. Mitchell's article in the Plainkaker, referring to my former article, I am glad that he observed that I am not a well read man, but my religion is of the heart, and that I ad only wish it was with him. He could see then the beam in his own eye. So Mr. Mitchell you should not be hate to comment on my interpretation, for I am the kind of losing any prestige. We have some as lately to people here as any when I am willing, sir, to debate you at any time. I give you also a rebuttal (Dietzler on Baptism) page 22, referring to Matt. 11 with water, with H. H. Ghost to Matthew, Mark, John, Luke and Peter and Christ describe this as the latter and comprise a way of narrating it. Hamilton was with water. Water was the instrument used with which the people were baptised. This language declares the general, the universal practice of baptism with water. He shall baptise with (en) the Holy Ghost, Act 10-45. On the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost, it fell on them (verse 44) Now says Peter, telling this to the apostle, and brethren Act 11:1, as I began to speak the Holy Ghost fell on them as on us at the beginning, then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost (Acts 11:15-17) Notice here first they are baptised with water. Second they are baptised with the Holy Spirit. Third, the mode of the all essential baptism is given; it was poured on them; it fell on them. So in the Bible it is represented as "Shed forth, poured upon;" it is often called anointing, "unction." All believers received this scaling power of the spirit. By one spirit are we all baptised into one body. Christ baptised us with the spirit. Cornelius' house was thus baptized; that is it was "poured out on them, it fell on them." They are baptized with it in (Acts 1:5) it was poured on them. Here it is said the spirit filled the house where they were assembled. In that case it would overwhelm them but not to dip them, surely or immerse them, but it is untrue that it filled the house. It does not say so. The sound as of a mighty, rushing wind filled the house so states the text it (the sound filled it) but in all the other places there is no such fact, and in all cases the spirit was poured on them. The spirit thus acting baptised them, Christ being the baptizer (1st 11:3; Zez. 12:10; loci 11:28; Acts 12:15-16, 10:114;itus 317-6 tells the spirit was poured out on the people, six witnesses, Matt. 3:11, Mark 1:18, Luke 3:16, John 1:33, Act 1: Act 12:15-16, John, the baptizer, in Matt. 3:11, Christ Act 11:16, Paul (C. 12:1). Ft N. T. writers and speakers call this pouring on of spirit on the people baptising them with the spirit (1st 11:11) I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, symbolizes the words in the same verse, I will pour my spirit upon thy seed. It was the I baptize you with water, not in with the spirit, not in. Now if the spirit was poured upon them, and this pouring is called baptism, how then can they be immersed in it? To immerse or dip implies not in partially or wholly, but being wicked. How could they be thus immersed into that in which already they were enveloped? Suppose people were already under the water of a lake or river, how could they be dipped into it when already enveloped in the water? So this judge leaves the objection in a worse predicament than ever, hence the spirit influence or operation on man's future is repeatedly called in the New Testament baptizing. Surely the Lord knew. When he said with Mr. Mitchell read Stokin's Lawson, he asserts that baptism is used to express the abundance of the spirit or its gifts, though he tells us it was by pouring, we reply that (chest) to pour, is often so used in the classic and the Bible, and with certain propositions it represents floods, even abundance, bountiesness, but where does dip or immerse represent these ideas? Then where do the prophets, Christ and His apostles represent the spirit as poured on the people in the baptismal act? A good reason must underly such language. First, there was a grand reason for the action of the spirit being compared to the wind John 3:8. Second, there was a reason for representing us as begotten by the spirit. We receive character, impress from it, third, why is it often represented as an unction," an "anointing?" because the wind does literally act as named. Known by its effects so is every one born of the spirit, because those "amounted" have the symbolizing oil literally poured on them. Therefore we are amounted to the spirit, because seeds of state were literally placed upon documents to give impress, character, passport, acceptance. We are scaled with the spirit of promise (Eph. 1-17) (2d Cot 1:22) because in outward baptism the water was literally poured on those baptized with the spirit. No intelligent person is willing to rest a good cause on more allusions, much he upon one or two highly wrought metaphors that allude to baptism whether it be that of the spirit or water. Baptizing (cts cp) Mark 1:10 Mat 3:11 ten at load in Enon, because there was much water there (Acts 1:18) Rom 6:1 gives us no historical basis, no fact as to the mode Mr. A. Campbell states it only as an inference as to the cuneum. He cannot say he was immersed. Dr. Walker puts it at best only as a hypothesis. We now propose to give a historical basis on this question and to that will clearly account for the young to load in Enon, etc., surely ordinary reason assigned are ahead of the great king, Elder Wilkes as Baptist as well, tells us of four waters of pool, of water in Jerusalem from 15 to 17 feet deep in the center, showing there was plenty of water in which to immerse 2000 of persons (Acts 2:11) could have been plunged. Well, then why did people go in great numbers from hence to QJordan for baptism if quantity or sufficiency of water for the mode of baptism was the motive? Again, why leave the Jordan and go to Enon, if that was the question? Again, as it is only in connection with John's baptism we ever read of Jordan and Enon, as to baptism, if the people had to go to Jordan and Enon for a sufficiency of water for the baptismal act, how came no one to go to either place in all the 67 years of baptisms under the apostles? They baptised in jail, in the house, and by the wayside. John's only lasted six months. If John's subjects did go there for the purpose of getting sufficient water for the mode, it is the strongest possible proof against immersion in the apostolic age. John baptized at first beyond Jordan in Bethany (John 1-24, 10-12) where Christ dwelt for a time into the place where John first baptized (John 10-11). He next baptized at (epi) the Jordan (Mat, 3-13) lake reads about Jordan (Lake 3-13). Mark has it (cis) at in or unto (Mark 1-9 (on) does not indicate the mode, but the place, location, in which the baptism was performed, is evident from the fact that where the action of the baptism is named it is within mark with water, and the correct text of (Truch nief, Tregelles) have no (11) (Mark 1-8) in the Greek rather than it does not indicate mode but merely place is further evident from Matthew's words at Jordan. Luke about Jordan, the Hebrew stool in the addit of Jordan (Jos). and till in Jordan (Jos.) Jordan verse 11, all on divy ground. Just as the people came up to Jordan, repeated five times (16-21) the literates pt hod (1) a fountain (Sum, 201) got hence and hear churth (1 king, 18-3) and at (nil) the river interchange over and again for the same thing. In Jordan the en (in) Jordan and into Jordan are expressly imputed and defined (Josh) by (epi) at by the Jordan epistle is there used as the invitation of en orcis. Mr. Mitchell says I am a scholar he would like to debate with me. Almitting that I am so dear, but a wise man can always do something even from a fool, I am really at all times. All I ask is to stay at Gen and Revelations and you have my company, Mr. Mitchell, you say if I will leave infant baptism alone Jesus said to Peter: "Do by Lams." Did you ever know a man to drive on the stock and leave the lambs out exposed to the wolf? The lambs are a part of the floor. I I hold works, Vol. I, page 1. You will find the covenant (god) said with Abraham and his children have never been repealed. Child in were organized at eight days old John, Jesus, all Jewish children in the church. As they entered the Jewish church by circumcision so we enter the church of today by baptism. Now (Ezek 35-25) the children of Christian believers were never cut off from this privilege, when their fathers were received into the church whether Jews or Gentiles from the commencement of the Abrahamic covenant to the subversion of the Jewish nation. Infants, by the appointment of God, were admitted to share in its benefits and therefore received circumcision as its sacramental sign and seal (Gen, 17-10-13) being thus circumcized they were placed under covenant with God and its frequent renewal were openly acknowledged as under the bond and entitled to the privileges of the covenant (Deut, 291 10-13) Josh, 8-35 (2 Chron, 20-13) they were made and acknowledged to be a part of the church of God by adoption and graciously entitled to take God as their God. Had there been a design to exclude children from the church it would without doubt have been done in the imagination of the gospel economy, but no change or limitation is estimated, either by special instruction or implication. Jesus publicly acknowledged infant membership when he placed a little child in them must and said of such is the kingdom of God. He said suffer them to come. If they are good enough for the kingdom they are fit subjects for baptism. If Jesus did not change that law who has a right to do so now? Every one that enters the church must come through baptism. It would take more of the children into the church and train them no for God in the way that should go the prison and in countries would not be crowded the dives and other re that young men visit would be cheek our hunches would be crowed with young people our Sunday school and other places of pride would be filled with our young initial of Sunday amusements, etc. Not wishing to tax your patten e am yours.

Whenever or wherever we see Old Glory flung to the breeze there comes to our hearts a quickening thrill, our pulses beat a rhythm of freedom and justice for all mankind, justice for the black, for the brown, for the yellow, for the red and for the white a thought that the white bars of our flag are a symbol of our nation's justice, the red bars to commemorate the blood of heroes who have died to proserve our nation's honor and the blue field for truth and protection for those who find a home beneath its folds. After the first thrill and exultation has passed we look more closely and see creeping, spreading all over our nation's honor a hideous blot, that darkens and obscures its purity, pollutes its integrity, hides truth and justice and we bow our heads in shame to think that our nation's honor has now become a thing to be pointed at in derision, a thing debased, ignored, desplaced and degraded by the people of this great nation. The honor of each state is blackened by this blot, the integrity of this great government is damaged by this blot and the virtue and prestige of every American citizen is tarnished by this blot. The treatment of the Negro race in America is so cruel, the inju- tiory ghostly in its reality that the in- habitants of all the earth shudden as Jewish abdomen huddled at the brutal crime on Cavaliary. This is the blot upon our nation's honor, this is the crime that is com- mitted against the Negro race today. This the dishorn of centuries that time only makes more terrible and more dishonorable. The injustice and brutality of the American nation to the Negro began with the importation of the first Africans as slaves to Jamestown, Va. It was continued until even some of its original advocates turned from it in loathing and disgust at the crimes and brutalizing influence it spread all over this country. Search the annals of history of all the great world centers of population and you will not find such barbarous barbarity, such brutal brutality, such inhuman inhumanity, such degraded degradation and such sensual sensuality as was forced upon the slaves C.

DEPY 010 CHICAGO, IL by their so called masters. Thus through the indifference of the Northland and the brutality of the Southland for over two hundred years a race of people who built up the South, built wharfs, kept the great Mississippi river in its course, made the South the cotton market of the world, cultivated the great hemp, tobacco and cotton plantations, established the commercial reputation of the United States before the Civil war were tortured and received only brutal barbarism for their recompense. It remained for this American nation after centuries of civilization and education, after centuries of freedom and Christian influence to reach the lowest depths of savagery toward a whole people and to put them to such torture that the whole world shrank back astounded at their brutality. When the Southland enriched by the labor of the Negroes arose in her atrougance and pride and declared war upon Old Glory than this great nation declared these slaves men and asked them to defend a flag and protect a country that for centuries had ignored their very manhood and womanhood, closed their eyes to the brutality of their so called masters and turned a deaf ear to their cries for justice. These black heroes are so brave then mighty strength, land aside then wrong and battled valently to preserve the honor and integrity of this great nation, where the white soldiers advanced and were driven back defeated our grandfathers and fathers went and conquered, where the white soldiers returned to go on grandfathers and fathers went and came Lack victorious, the battle fields of the Southland are enriched with their blood, thousands of Negro soldiers gave their lives that the blot of slavery might be erased from their nation's honor and that Old tlory might wave over a land whose whole people were free and equal. And in return this great nation has violated every law human and divine in our oppression, we see Afro-American citizens disfrianchised, denied the right to serve upon juries, taxed in states that allow them no representation in their government, segregated in cities, denied educational, political and industrial equality and discriminated against in all the courts of this land. We see the rights and privileges guaranteed us by the amendments to the United States Constitution ignored and declared null and void in almost every state south of the Mason Dixon line. The ghosts of thousands of Negro citizens who have been lynched and burned at the stake point the finger of Norn at the honor and integrity of a nation that by its silence and indifference has set its seal of approval upon such injustice and brutality and established such a precedent of inhumanity and indignity toward its Afro-Americans citizens. Thus we stand today, just across the threshold of the 20th century, not a race of complaining slaves but a race of indignant peers, a race wonderful in intellectual achievements, forgiving in spirit, law-abiding and God-fearing in deportment, moral and home loving in disposition, loyal and true in patriotism, battling against a nation-wide, a nation-old, a nation-defended prejudice and demanding that this great American nation arise in its manhood and womanhood clense their nation's honor of this slimy and fathy blot of race hatred and racial prejudice, redeem their pledged word and see to it that every American citizen 'one which Old Glory waves receives justice, that right which all who live in freedom's broad domain may claim. Thus America may become the White Knight of the World's Honor standing at the crossroads and steadily pointing the way of Freedom and justice to all mankind. MRS. CHAS. W. FRENCH. This oration won second prize in the Oratorical contest at the Interstate Literary Association of Kansas and the West, Wichita, Kansas, December 20th, 1911. WINFIELD KAN. L. D. Fuller gave a stereopticon entertainment Monday night at the Second Baptist church to a large sized audience. Revival services at the A. M. E. church continue to grow in interest and will continue through out the work. Wesley Morris made a business trip to Arkansas City Monday afternoon. The Ladies C. T. T. club entertained their husbands and a number of friends Wednesday evening at the cozy home of Mrs. Andy Charles. Vocal and instrumental music was rendered and highly appreciated. The club colors, green and gold, were artistically displayed in the house decorations and also in the menu. Mr. James Waldon and family have moved to Winfield to reside permanently. Mr. John Riley and wife, of Talsa, Okla., have moved here. Mr. Riley has engaged in the pantatorium businesses on South Minor Street. The Silver Thimble Embroidery club met Thursday evening April 4th at the home of Mrs. Jamison on East Second Street. The newly elected officers presided. Miss Walton, president and Mrs. Smith, secretary. The meeting was called to order by the President. The Secretary then called the roll and each member responded with a quotation from some favorite author. Opening the business session Mrs. Smith read the minutes of the last meeting, then the report of the committee on revision of the constitution, after which a discussion of the best interest of the club. The club will give a literary program in two weeks, the proceeds of which are to enlarge our treasure. The club is now preparing for a beyaar the last of the month, hence some beautiful work is being done. The unprecedented attendance at its meetings and the greatest enthusiasm is being manifested in the study of embroidery. Under the leadership of the presi dent, M. Cattie Walton, our club is one harmonious whole. It takes pardonal pride in its having the best record of attendance among the other federated clubs of the day. Mrs. Juvia Wiesner was elected reporter for the club. After this pleasant and profitable week refr ectione nts, the most delicious, were served by the hostess assisted by her sister, M. H. P. Laceham. The most regular meeting of the club will be at the home of Mr. Henry Harry on East North Street. The Forward Missionary Movement Meeting. I arrived in Wichita on the 16th at 5:30 p.m. and went to 712 Waco street and after a refreshing bath had a fine repast. At 8 p.m. we went to the beautiful frame church which Rev. Fishback is pastor. There we met a fine audience. Rev. Fishback had been called to the bedside of his mother, who was very ill, which was very sad news and affected the church and meeting. Our best wishes and deepest sympathy and prayers were distributed for the sick and the work. We preached as best we could. The morning meeting did not materialize according to programme but the afternoon and evening meetings went according to program. Of course many on the program did not appear for various reasons. Reys. Gourey, Crawford and Kinney were on hand and spoke according to program. Rey. Gurney spoke on the young people and games. Rey. Crawford on the relation of the white Baptist to the Negro Baptist. Co-operation plan was discussed and its effectiveness to all. He took advantage of the occasion and informed the audience that the Negro Baptist convention had been tardy and derelict and allowed themselves to get behind very near a thousand dollars with the work. Some handkerchief headed Baptist may say it's none of Crawford's business. The meeting, with the sweet singing, prayers and attendance and sermons and talks from Rev. Elias and the others made it a treat—a rare treat. The cheerful giving spirit also contributed to make it a financial success. Mt. Pleasant can give a hundred of that thousand as easily as twenty-five for the Panama zone church toll. But some grimlet-legged Baptist has said we don't want your money if we can't spend it as we please. Eight hundred or nine hundred behind, and not a passionary pastor on the field means somebody has got to handle. The Endth Street Baptist church and St. Ivorant had a joint open baptism in the presence of fifteen limited on a thousand people at Seventh street and the ice plant, about 2 p.m. April 21. J. P.

Mr. Fischer has been in business for many years, in fact he is one of the pioneers who assisted in building Lawrence and believes in nothing but a square fair deal for everybody, irrespective of creed, color or religion. He is particularly kind to colored people, and were a man or women in his employ to mistreat a person of color, they would be discharged on the spot. Such men as Mr. Fischer are assisting in keeping the doors of hope open to the race and we should ever be mindful and appreciate these facts. Mr. Pischer has one of the finest shoe stores in the west and he appreciates those who patronize him as is proven by his courteous treatment to all patrons. While it was the first time we ever met Mr. Pischer, we are deeply impressed with him and his method of doing business, and we shall never visit Lawrence again without stopping at Mr. Pischer's store long enough at least to say "howdy and good bye." We recommend him to our readers and hope they will patronize him. BEAURICE, NERR. Pastor and choir of St. Paul A. M.
