THE DAILY RECORDER The appearance each day of The Goat Cornerice Recorder was a climax than any notable strides of prose, thrift and energy that stick out boldly in every act of this most memorable acturing. It is no small task to produce a well printed paper especially at a distance of ten miles in the core of activity, in fact the Recorder The Contract for print of paper to him Nick Cornerice and owner of The Topic Plot Recorder and the manner in which the soil was handled shows much evidence of the art of news- THE EDITOR paper making During the whole eighteen days the paper reached Kansas City about 100 or somer each morning, save one when the "copy" was delayed in transit and the large power press was slightly manned, but despite these setbacks The Recorder was in the hards of readers during the day. The office could not have been better had the work been done on the ground. Mr. Chiles secured this contract by underholding several large printing firms in Kansas City. This great printing firm of the west started in business with a mere nothing and today owns one of the best equipped offices in the country and should have the confidence and support of the united race The above is from the General Conference Daily Recorder and is a high tribute to a man who is wholly deserving, and we take advantage or Mr Chiles' absence and put the same through The Plaindealer.

General Conference Resolutions. We are dealing only with the evident, purpose and meaning of this specific act of legislation by the last preceding General Conference seeking to make perfectly clear the legal effect of the legislation under which the said bishops were elected; and not with the county of the case. For until a subsequent General Conference shall indicate in some emplatic manner a change of view as to the wisdom of such enactment; or that it was not the intention so said General Conference and through that conference the church, to place the work in South Africa and West Africa as well as the resident bishops thereto assigned by election, in a district and separate relation because of conditoins prevailing therein, that the views and judgment therein expressed were too radical and instituted a departure from established precedents which in actual application and enforcement works a positive injustice to the bishops elected and operating thereunder, or clothes the council of bishops with power which, under the discipline, are reserved to this constitutional representative body by custom and usage, to-wit, the recall and exchange of bishops, for cause, this committee ventures to suggest that a mandate of the General Conference declaratory of the fact that such an interpretation of the act under which election and consecration of said bishops for south and for West Africa, was foreign to the intention and purpose of conference at Norfolk, Va, May, 1908; that it was not intended to make such a radical departure in the operation of General Superintency in any part of the connection, whether in the home or foreign field, the Episcopal committee is in doubt as to the wisdom of suggesting any alteration or change in said enactment. Unless the council of bishops will first take the matter under advisement and declare what construction they have placed and what application they have made or believed themselves warranted in making of the powers and prerogatives with which this act invests them. W. II. H. BUTLER. Chairman. "Peacock" Flour. Highest Quality. A Genuin: Hair Restorer Did you ever know of any hair preparation which would really grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair? There are many preparations highly advertised to do the work, but it is probably your experience that none of them will really meet the claims of their manufacturers. There are many so-called hair restorers which are nothing more than harmful chemical dyes, which do not grow any hair, the only result being that they dyed the hair, having no permanency and often causing a streaky appearance. It has been the aim of the chemists for years to discover a preparation which would really grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair, but heretofore they have met with no success. Prof. Rembler now claims to have discovered a combination of harmless vegetable composition which is a Genuine Hair Restorer and will grow hair and does not contain any dye of any kind, but will positively restore the natural color and brilliance to gray and faded hair. This is a very strong statement to make and if any chemist without the recognized ability and national reputation of Prof. Rembler were to make this claim we would be inclined to be skeptical as to its truth. It will be remembered by reader that are familiar with scientific discoveries that Prof. Rembler was the inventor of the one fine process for gilling glass and also the Rembler Wireless Coherer. Any statement made by Prof Rembler is entitled to consideration as he would not make any statement which were not true and would injure his established reputation. The Siloron Mfg Co of Pueblo, Colo., alive purchased the exclusive American rights to manufacture Saginine, as they have named Prof Rembler's invention, after having made a six months' test of Saginne and thoroughly demonstrating that it would positively do the work. The Siloron Mfg. Co. have authorized us to make the following remarkable offer to all who need a "genuine Hair Restorer." They will send a written agreement with every bottle of Sagine, to the effect that if one bottle of Sagine constitutionally used according to the directions does not give entire satisfaction to the purchaser of Sagine does not actually grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair, remove dandruff and make the hair healthy and glassy, that they will pay the sum of $7 to any dissatisfied purchaser. This is the strongest offer ever made by any manufacturer and they could not possible make if they did not know positively from experience that it would do exactly what they claim for it. No one can take an chance in buying Sagine as it is certainly worth $1 to use a Genuine Hair Restorer that will really grow hair, and if it does not give satisfaction they will pay you the $7 as agreed. Send a $1 bill to the Silorion Mfg Co. Pucbio, Colo, stating that you wish to purchase a bottle of Sagine with the written agreement to grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair or pay you the sum of $7 and it will be sent to you by express in plain manner. The Siloron Mfg. Co. is incorporated under the Laws of the State of Colorado and refer you to the mercantile agencies or any Pueblo Larks as to their ability to fulfill any agreement they make.

The appropriation of $15,000 for flood sufferers by the A. M. E. General Conference was a most commendable act of Christian duty and should be emulated by other religious gatherings throughout the country The white people of Kansas City showed of what material they are made when they came to the relief of the A M E. General Conference and tendered them the use of Convention Hall free of charge when Allen Chapel proved inadequate to accommodate the mighty throng which clamored for admission. All hall to those big hearted citizens of Kansas City. --- The House has passed the Senate measure providing for the direct election of United States Senators, but some features of the bill seem unsatisfactory to the southern states, and as a three-fourths majority of the state legislatures must satisfy this measure to become a law, it is fairly certain that United States Senators will be elected by the state legislatures for some time to come. Some "chumps" on the New York stock exchange are wanting to let even money that Roosevelt will be nominated at Chicago and are giving odds of 2 to 1 that he will be elected if nominated. It seems that more people in the Empire state are "bug-house" than common, the colonel in the bunch. But then, the big letters of the country lost many thousands of dollars in their attempt to make Jim Jefferson a better man than Jack Johnson, but who proved more wind and bluster than scraper Some of the men now most prominent in the insurgent forces in this state were at one time the strongest opponents of Populism and now the insurgent soup and the Populist broth are one and the same, but these office seekers seem not to notice their own thoughts of a few years ago and to consider what they claim to think now and all because they are on the outside looking in. It might pay some of these reformers to go back a few years in the files, to their newspapers and compare a few things then and now and ask themselves a question The primary election law in Kansas and in other states is just the thing to make success a sure thing for the Democratic party. The Republicans of Kansas and the insurgent democrats go into these primary contests with all the hatred and vengeance of two opposing parties and before they are through with one another, which ever wins looks like a chicken with the chickin in mounting time and what is left is easy pushing for the straight out Democrats. Candidly we think the primary law as enacted in Kansas a mere force, as Democrats an come in and nominate the weakest candidates for the Republicans and when it comes time to chotty they vote for the other fellow. If this law is to remain in force in Kansas the primary election should be held the same day the general election is held and let the best man win both plums at one shot instead of two as at present and it will not be so expensive. Let the Republicans of Kansas awake from their nightmare and get out of the rut dug long ago by the party known as Populists. PUBLICATION NOTICE. William J. Joseph, John A.

About seven months ago there arrived in Portland from Kansas City an ambitious clergyman with no known recommendations except a talented wife and a grip sack. The clergyman was Rev. J. Logan Craw, the pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church. On his arrival he found the church poorly attended, caused perhaps by the lack of intellectuality, aggressiveness and diplomacy. Rev. Craw seemed endowed with all these essential traits, and with the aid and splendid general-ship of his faithful wife, he put all of those powerful characters to work and as a result old Bethel has awakened from its lethargy. The first sermon by the new pastor caused those present to begin to talk about it, and soon the news became noised around that the new pastor at Bethel had the goods and knew how to deliver them. The attendance began to grow and the membership began to swell and with in a month the congregation had grown far in excess of the seating capacity of the church and many were being turned away almost every Sunday evening, they being unable to even obtain standing room. It was then that it became apparent that a new and larger choice of worship was needed, and right here the new pastor showed his good general-ship. He first announced a next egg rally, which netted in cash $121.73. This successful move encouraged the members, friends and clubs to a more aggressive and earnest campaign to raise more funds. But how to go about it was the next question. The pastor announced that the first Sunday in May would be general rally day and that he wanted to raise no less than $600 to be applied to the building fund of the New Bethel. This announcement aroused interest among the members, friends and the different clubs and the clubs and with each other in raising the greatest amount of money towards the $600, House socials, dramas, church concerts and entertainments were given by the different clubs from time to time. And the results of their good work were shown at the rally on last Sunday evening when together with the subscriptions of members and friends, the sum totalled $95.12. Thus, added to the next egg fund which was $121.72, swelled the amount to the munificent sum of $135.65. And in the midst of all of this rally the slogan of "help yourself first" was strictly adhered to for ever dollar that was raised come from the packets of the colored people.
