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. He teaches his people to be in- dustrious and get into business. He organized a show company and is now doing business on Eastighteenth street. Would that half of the A. M.

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. As a boy of 16 years of age he supported the first Republican candidate for president, John C.

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. He served two days and that night he was taken out by a mob and brutally beaten. Another county of 5,000 whites and 21,000 Negroes, during 36 years there has not been a Negro junot.

Their names are never put in the jury box. A county of 5,000 whites and 12,000 Negroes. Negroes do not serve on juries for several reasons—Incompetency, strong prejudice, superstition, and general unfitness. Sometimes serve in United States courts. A county of 1,500 whites and 8,800 Negroes. None of the Negroes of this county have ever served as jurors in State courts. A county of 7,000 whites and 11,000 Negroes. No Negro Lutts. A county of 1,800 whites and 5,000 Negroes. No Negro juices. A county of 2,000 whites and 5,800 Negroes. No Negro juices. A county of 6,000 whites and 7,000 Negroes. No Negro juices for twenty years.

Louisiana A parish of 8,800 whites and 11,200 Negroes. No Negro jurors. A parish of 11,000 whites and 17,800 Negroes. Negroes serve on juries and have been since the Civil war.

North Carolina A county of 11,000 whites and 19,000 Negroes. Negroes not allowed to serve in this county. Occasionally when the Republicans have been in power the Negroes have been allowed to serve, but since the white people got control of the county government Negroes do not vote and do not serve as jurors or do anything else a white man ought to do. A county of 5,800 whites and 8,300 Negroes. Sometimes a few tales-men are drawn but they seldom get in the jury box. South Carolina 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. To lay the law is not different from President by the law, which will be initiated the report of the commission in to be made in the year in which in of the personal bill that it is one of the great powers of the world satisfactory satisfaction of all important phases of the contract between two or diversal companies that have been proposed within the last two or three decades. The old rules of liability under the common law were adapted to a different age and condition and were DELEGATED PLEGED TO TAFT. On Friday, April 12, 1912, the delegates to the Republican national convention pledged to President Taft were as follows: Alabama 22 Alaska 2 Colorado 8 District of Columbia 2 Florida 12 Georgia 26 Illinois 2 Indiana 20 Iowa 8 Kentucky 23 Louisiana 6 Michigan 18 Mississippi 20 Missouri 14 New Mexico 7 New York 83 Oklahoma 4 Philippines 2 Beach Carolina 16 Tennessee 16 Vermont 6 Virginia 24 Total Pledged to Roosevelt, 113.

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.

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.

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.

Implement and Seed Company. shoe store of Mr. Otto Pischer, and after looking through his magnificent stock, we had a very pleasant chat with him. 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.
