TOPEKA PLAINDEALER THE Sixteenth Year No. 26 Sixteenth Year. No.26. Short Stories of People and Business Activity in Other Sections. We visited Emporia, Newton, Winfield, Wichita, Arkansas City, Wellington, Hutchinson and Great Bend. This part of the state seems to be very prosperous at this time as all the laborers are being attracted to this section of the country at this time to harvest one of the greatest wheat crops that Kansas ever produced. It was a great sight to see freight trains on all roads covered with men of all classes going to the wheat field. They dropped off in different sections of the country and the farmers would come to town and take them out, paying them $3.00 and $350 per day and room and board. The great wheat field would remind one of King Solomon's temple, with the waving golden heads of wheat, sometimes motionless, and at other times rolling over and over from the touch of the gentle Kansas zephrys. It is a beautiful sight to behold. At Garden City we found that the colored men were being taken to the harvest fields in preference to the whites and we ask the reason and were told that the white men came out and stayed a few days, until it began to get hot and their hand got sore and then they would strike for higher wages and then the farmers would have to fall back on the colored man that they had refused before in order to save their crop. The colored man is growing more popular and it is easier for them to get work now than it was a few years ago. Another thing that impressed us was that there were many colored farmers in that section of the country that had in from 100 to 600 acres of wheat and employed a number of colored hands. This shows how much more independent we would be if we had more colored farmers. If it had not been for these colored farmers it would be useless for a colored man to go out around Great Bend, St. Johns and Pratt in search of work. Our first stop was Emporia. We find that Emporia is growing every year. Here is located the State (Normal School and between 75 and 180 students graduated from this institution this year and we would liked to have seen more as there is a great demand for teachers from this institution. The colored people in general are getting along fine in this town and own very nice homes. They have two restaurants, two barber shops, two physicians, one houseover and a few mechanics. The women are the prime movers of the business circle in Emporia and there are several hair dressers and cateres. Dr. J. E. Strain is a new physician in this town and graduated from Meharry in the class of 1913. He is a Texan by birth and attended the college at Waco, Tex. He is growing very popular and is said to be a fine physician. Rev. T. W. Green, pastor of the A. M. E. church is doing a great work and has raised over $900.00 since last conference and has made some fine improvements on the church. Rev. Green is mutilated in his work by his wife, an upright Christain lady and Emporia feels very proud of them. Clarence Tipton, the house mover is doing nicely. There were fourteen colored graduates from the Normal School and two from the high school at Emporia this year. An entertainment was given in their honor by Meadows Harris, Mayo. Reeves and Harrison at the beautiful home of Mrs. Alex Reeves. Over 150 invited guest were present. The rooms were beautifully decorated with roses and other flowers, pennants and their class colors—white and yellow for the normal and black and red for the high school. Mr. Edward Reeves and wife of Wichita and Dr. Porter of Oklahoma were guest of honor. There were instrumental and vocal roles rendered throughout the evening. The people of Emporia are very hospitable and when they take a notion to entertain, they have few equals. Mr. Bert Rich is one of the most industrious young men in the state. He has a livery barn, runs a hark line and express wagon, also has work teams and contracts for excavating. He has several head of horses and one of the finest stallions in the state. Rich says that the one hard proposition he finds in his business is to find a colored man that will stick to the work as they will, not stick to the money that they can get two or three days pay, especially the younger class. He often has to hire whites men to drive his teams and express wagon as he says his work har to go on and he cannot stop to draw the color of 927. We met Mrs. Collier of 927 Cottonwood St., who is the mother of 12 children of whom 11 are living and she has 23 grandchildren and has seen them all except two in Canada. She looks as healthy and active as a woman of thirty. Miss Maume Elliott who graduated in vocal from the normal school was said by the dalles to have rendered one of the finest selections given during the commencement. We were joined by our traveling manager, Mr. A. D. Grillin and arrived in Newton on the afternoon of the 4th of June. Here we found a good class of people, both white and colored. At this place the Santa Fe employs several coloured men in the round house. This is commendable and the colored people of Newton should write letters of commendation to the officials for this, as it may pave the way for claim to have a colored business league in Newton, but we could see no evidence of it. If they have they should get busy and send resolutions to the head officials of the Santa Fe. It may bear fruit. Mr. C. R. Ramey is one of the wealthiest colored men in Kansas and is worth between $50,000 and $75,000. He owns a fine two story brick building in Newton, occupied by colored tenants and other valuable property. Lleutenant Gan Payne is still employed in the railroad service and has a beautiful home and his wife has over 400 chickens almost ready for market. W. H. Reevely still conducts a barber shop and is doing fine. While in Newton we were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie French. Mr. French is on a private car. He owns a fine barber shop and pool hall. He and his wife are both fine cooks and good entertainers and it is a source of pleasure to stop with them and enjoy the fine meals they prepare for you. Mrs. French is correspondent for the Plaindealer. Our friend Rev. W. C. Webb is still connected with the Santa Fe where he has been for years. He is one of the land marks of the A. M. E. church at Junction City, Hiawatha and Beatrice. Nebr. He is connected with the office of master of mechanice. Mr. J. M. Gross is one of the agents and solicitors for The Plaindcaler. We found him as active as ever. He is employed at the Santa Fe shops. WICHITA was our next ston. Here we found a large number of colored people who seemed to be doing fairly well. They have not yet become excited over farming and gardening and no attention is being paid along the trade line and we do not find as many mechanics in Wichita as we should in proportion to the population. They have just completed the foundation and laid the corner stone of the large A. M. E. church on Water street. Mr. S. P Hawkins, of Topeka was the contractor. Out of the ten men he had employed he could not find a brick mason and had to employ a white man. Now this is a shame that a city has large as Wichita had not colored stone or brick mason. Mr. Jaco, of Topeka, was one of the workmen and we must sa he is a finished mechanic. We witnessed the laying of the corner stone Sunday, over which Grand Master E. J. Hawkins, of Fort Scott presided. He was assisted by Deputy Grand Master Henry I. Monroe, of Topeka, Arkansas Valley Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and the local Commandery of Knights Templar had one of the ceremonies. A parade formed from the Masonic Hall on Main street, headed by Prof. N. Clark Smith's Y. M. C. A. band followed by the Knights Templar under the Grand Commander, John T. Chinneth, followed by Arkansas Valley Lodge and grand officers. The ceremony was very impressive and talks were made by the Mayor, Grand Master Hawkins, H. I. Monroe and Ex-Mayor Davison, Prof. West, Dr. F. O. Miller, Master Masons Clark and James officiated in the ceremony, also Rev Butler and Rev Fishback of the Baptist church. Rev. Williams is very proud of the start made by the members to build the church and they expect to have it completed in 1915. We have decided to devote a page of Thetopela Piaindealer to Wichita and her merchants as soon as our correspondent and agent, Mr. Ambrose Woodard gets busy ad fires, in his news notes and advertising on time, we will proceed to perform our part to the best of our ability. Now we want the people of Wichita to get busy also and nav up, and send their news to Mr. Woodard, and he will devote an entire page to advertising and news matter for Wichita. We met our time-honored friend, James W. Brown, pharmacist at the Makin'Eye Drug Store. He is one of the best drugrists in the business and the people of Wichita are proud of him. Phillip Hyde is still master of the carpet making industry. His business amounts to several hundred dollars a year and he is the only colored man in Wichita in this business. When Mr. Hyde retires a white man will take up the business as there is no colored man to take his place. Let our young people wake up and get busy. The physician seem to be doing well, also the young dentist. Wichita has a fine class of ladies, who are doing much for the elevation of the race by using their influence in the church. They have also a business talent, having several catering establishments. Mrs. Grant G. Brown, ex-Grand Matron of the Eastern Star in Kansas is doing a great work in the local 'odge and also the Lades' Art club. Dr. Brown has joined the Bull Moose Party and will make the stump this fall for Henry Allen and J. L. Bristow. He was called to Chicago in 1912 by McCormick and Roosevelt and their followers to assist in organizing that party. While we do not wish the party any success, we hope the Doctor will succeed in his TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JULY 3. 1914. TUCKER HERE JULY 8TH Declares Curtis and Bristow are Ruled by Trusts and he Will Produce Proof at Auditorium... Native Son and a Born Fighte. H. H. Tucker, Jr., president of the Uncle Sam Oil Co., is candidate for U. S. Senator. He wants to keep the price of oil and gas down to a reasonable rate. The Standard Oil Company is trying to crush his concern and also Tucker by reducing the oil below cost, thereby freezing out gas and oil bills is what is interesting the people of Kansas. He is speaking to thousands of voters every night in different cities in Kansas and will speak in the auditorium, Topeka, Kansas on the evening of July 8th. Marshall's famous band will furnish music.

Mr. Ed Branson and wife have a beautiful home and are among Wichita's most successful citizens. He is employed in the Street K. R. service, a position he has held for several years. Rev. Fishback, Rev. Butler and Rev. Williams are all doing good work in the church. Mr. Jno McColloquh, 1220 N. Mosely has just completed a nice home and has recently moved into it. Mrs. McColloquh entertained in honor of her husband's 45th birthday at 6 o'clock dinner to fourteen of his gentlemen friends. His daughter served the party and the mother and daughter presented him with a beautiful K. of P. charm and chain. The house was beautifully decorated with sweet peas and hies. His daughter, Mrs. Glener entertained them with vocal and instrumental selections. Dr. A K. Lawrence has recently purchased a static and nebulizer machine at a cost of several hundred dollars. We met our old friend, W. H. Grimes who is connected with one of the leading hotels of the city. Miss Panay Cox was the only colored graduate from the high school out of a class of 60. She is a very bright young lady and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Cox. Mrs. Cox is Past Worthy Counsellor of the Court of Calanthe. They are very proud of the record their daughter has made in school. Robert Jaco and Sarn Overstreet, brick masons, employed on the St. Paul A, M. E. church have left for Kansas City. We think that the colored people of Wichita should get busy and urge some competent young man who is a graduate to take the civil service examination for mail clerk or carrier in the city of Wichita, as there is not a colored man employed in the postal department of the city. The colored people of Wichita are proud of S. P. Hawkins of Topeka who contracted for the building of the St. Paul A, M. E. church, as it is the first time that a colored man held so prominent attorneys of Arkansas City is managing H. H. Tucker, Jr.'s campaign for U. S. senator. He was a member of the Kansas legislature in 1905; served on several important committee on gas and oil. He is a forceful debater and has but few equals on the stump as a campaigner. He is canvassing the state with Mr. Tucker. large a building contract in Wichita. FOR SALE: A pool hall, barber shop and 0 pool tables. Nice location and reasonable terms. Address P. J. Coleman, 1220 N. Mosley. WINFIELD Our next stop was Winfield and while there we were the guest of Mr. Frank Montgomery and family. He is baggage master at the Santa Fe depot and has some very valuable property in Winfield. The colored people are progressing nicely, but there is still room for improvement. We accepted an invitation to six o'clock dinner at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Andy Charles. Mrs. Rosa Works of Oxford. Kansas was also a guest and we were served to a most delicious repast. Mrs. Charles is a fine cateress and certainly knows how to fix good things to eat. ARKANSAS CITY In Arkansas City we met our old friend, Mr. Hooker, the barber who is enjoying a fine trade also Mr. La Davis who conducts a barber shop on S. Summit St. He has recently purchased three fine barber chairs. He has made great progress in the nine years he has lived in Arkansas City and owns a very fine home and considerable other property. We met our friend, Grant Whitfield, the chauffeur, who has purchased a fine horse that he expects to put on the track soon. Mr. Ben Hart, son-in-law of Mrs. Smothers is farming 80 acres of land near Arkansas City and has a fine crop on it this year. His wife has several hundred chickens Mrs. Rosa Works of Oxford attended the district conference at Great Bond and spend a few days visiting in Arkansas City. She says she has over 300 chickens that will soon be ready for market. WELLINGTON. We stopped at Wellington and there met our old friend, F. M. Roberts who is Grand Trisurer of the endowment department of the K. of P., of this state, and conducts one of the best restaurants in the town. He has a beautiful home and we had the pleasure of dining with him and his family. His mother, who lives with them is very active, although 80 years of age. Mrs. Roberts is one of the leading ladies of Kansas and has a high literary attainment. Mr. Roberts who has been engaged in business for several years owns some valuable pieces of property in Wellington, also in Oklahoma. He says the report to the Grand Lodge will show more money in the Grand Treasure than ever before in the history of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias. Members of the Grand Lodge have asked him to be a candidate for Grand Chancellor to succeed John E. Lewis who will leave for Jamica in October. Our friend Sherman Teal is conducting a barber shop at his same old stand and still has a large barber business. We visited the big Hunter Flour Mill which has a capacity of 1,000 barrels per day. We were surprised to find a colored man as one of the millers and is in charge of one of the shifts. He is a full fledged miller and knows the operation of the mill from the engine room to the sacking department. He cannot be fooled on the quality of wheat and know the process of producing high grade flour. His name is J. R. Oldham and he has worked in this mill for over 20 years and started at 75 cents a day and is now drawing a large salary, but still not as large as he deserves on account of the prejudice of the white men that work with him. We hope to see the time when white men will give the colored man the same show as they give members of their own race in the business and mechanical world. Mr. Oldham is 47 years old and was born in Kentucky and came to Kansas in the early days with the vim and determination to do something and has mastered his trade. He owns a beautiful home worth several thousand dollars and he is one of Wellington's most highly respected citizens. We hope the day, will come when the proprietor of the mill will see that this man gets justice and the salary he deserves. Wellington is a fine town and the colored people get a good part of the work. This is the division of the Santa Fe and one colored man, Mr. L. T. Robertson works at the depot. REV. J. W. WILSON DEAD. Fifty Years a Prominent Figure in the African Methodist Church High in Ranks of Masonry and Grand Army Circles. The funeral of the late Rv. James W. Wilson, presiding elder of the Topeka district of the A. M. E. Conference was held from the First A. M. E. church, Eighth and Nebras' a Avenue, Kansas City, Kas., June 28, beginning at 10 a.m., and lasting until 4 p. m. The body was then removed to the Wyatt & Randolph undertaking parlors. Fourth and Minnesota avenue where it remained until Saturday morning, when it was taken to Garnett, his old home and there the funeral services proper were held. Rev. J. R. Ransom, pastor of the First A. M. E. church, Kansas City, Kas., officiated at the ceremony and at the cemetery, Mount Aetna Lodge, A. F. & A. M., of which the deceased was an honored member, under Grand Master E. J. Hawkins, had charge of the ceremony. Ministers form all sections of Kansas and Missouri were in attendance. Rev J. C. C. Owens, presiding elder of the Omaha district, preached the funeral, as had been formerly agreed between Revs. Owens, Watson and Wilson, that the one left was to preach the others' funeral, as they were the oldest members of this conference, and among the first members of the Missouri conference, nearly a half century ago. Owing to pressing duties, Bishop Parks was unable to be present. Rev, Wilson was one of the best known and most highly respected men in the West, and was a leader in the African Methodist ranks in Kansas and the West for over forty years. He was industrious, honest, upright Christian gentleman and made good use of his earnings by accumulating good city and farm property in different sections of the country where he preached. He has lived his three score and ten years and made good use of the time he spent among men. A large number of friends attended the funeral and there was a profuse floral offering, amounting to over $200.00 sent by friends from different sections of Kansas and Missouri. Rev. Wilson was past grand master of Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., Kansas and juntdictions. He was a veteran of the Civil War and served his country faithfully and well until peace was declared. His regiment was one of the best that ever marched away to war. They made name and history for the grand state of Kansas for the race to which they belonged. The flag they followed is preserved in the archieves of beautiful Memorial Hall, and the day these hanners were escorted form the state house to their permanent abode this grand old man was laying upon his bed of affliction. However "Britton's Jane," "Polson Sorringa" will never be erased from the offsprings of these grand old heroes and thus their memory will be perputated for ages to come. Obituary. James W.

Wilson and Leota Victoria Wilson Tribute: two sisters, one brother, one daughter-in-law and two sons-in-law, and many other relatives and friends. Servant of God well done, Rest be thy new employ.

I notice up and down the road lots of jack preachers want to hold a revival to save the sinners. They did not help save any of the weeds out of the sinners garden nor help make any wheat pile up in the stack. God is going to save sinners and you have lost your job.

All the scare headlines in the big daily newspapers of the West about the great demand of harvest hands had the effect of drawing thousands of men to Kansas only to find it all a myth. There are enough idle men in Kansas today to harvest a yield tenfold greater than the present, and no great hurrah about it either. Reports come to us that Uncle Sam permits the operation of restaurants and cafes on the grounds of the Old Soldiers' Home where old "Jim Crow" feasts and grows fat. This institution is maintained for the care and comfort of those grand old heroes who bared their breasts to rebel bullets that this nation might not be rent in twain and alabough in the great struggle for the existence of the life of the nation a soldier was a soldier, no matter what the color of his skin; but now that the country has been saved, and a colored man desires to visit one of his friends in that institution he is reminded that the nation is still divided, by the flopping of the wings of old "Jim Crow." It is a shame that Uncle Sam will permit this outrage on the grounds of this noble and glorious institution. A learned physician says: "We loast of a great civilization, but this is justified only within limits. The historian of the future will have little difficulty in convincing his readers that those who lived at the beginning of the twentieth century were but slightly removed from barbarism, as he will tell that school, saloon and house of prostitution flourished in close proximity; that while we spent missionaries to convert Buddhat, ten thousand murders were committed annually in our midst," and he might have added that human beings were burned at the stake, their fingers, ears, eyes, toes, etc., cut off or plucked out and sacredly reserved as relics of their bloody deeds and all because the color the victim's face was black and stood powerless in a nation of supposed civilized Christians. We believe there should be a law enforced in the next legislature prohibiting these wild-ended physicians from using the knife on their patients for some imaginary disease that often works a hardship on families. There are too many overstepping the bounds of propriety and reason. We have in mind a case of one of our friends, who married a short time ago and brought his wife to a physician. While he stepped down the street to purchase something, the doctor induced her to undergo an operation which resulted in her death. Now had the physicians obeyed this man and not performed the operation and properly diagosed the case his wife would perhaps be living today. This is not the only case of the kind, but our attention has been called to others where the doctors are experimenting with a knife and pick some unsuspecting colored person on which to try out and they are carried to the cemetery on account of these butchers, who should be in some packing plant. The Topeka dailies and several of the dailies of the West published a cock and bull story of the kidnapping of a girl sixteen years of age. This same girl writes a "pitiful" tale of how she was drugged by the snapping of a phony pistol in her face and how she never recovered until she reached Arkansas City and how she there tried to escape but was so closely watched that she failed. A five year old child wouldn't believe such rot. Every man, woman and child on a train would assist in the liberation of a "defenseless" girl from such a bondage if she but cry out. If the facts were known this girl has been duped by flattery and now that things are not what they seemed, a cry of wrong doing is set up. All the wrong, however, is not on the part of the man, either. This faculties, the law that allows women to entice men into evil and then punishes the man for his part of the sin is rotten to the core. Men should be protected against the wiles of womankind. The funny part of this farce is that men who are supposed to possess common horse sense are usually engaged in trying to find a foundation for such a lie FORT RILEY, KANSAS. Miss Mollie Aldridge and friends present a pleasant evening out at Mr. and Mrs. Archie McElroy's resident at Fort Riley, on the 18th. Mr. L. H. Crews of Junction City drove his fine horses on the 18th out to hill pasture at Fort Riley. His family accompanied him and they had a fine outing with Mr. and Mrs. Archie McElroy. Mr. James Shelley of Fort Riley has bought a large trunk and will soon pack it for "dear old Georgia" having completed three years. Mr. Shelley's home is in Georgia and he will soon bid the boys of Fort Riley Good-bye. He is a fine vounge man and well thought of by his associates. Mr. R. M. of Fort Riley Hill Pasture seems to want to sleep all the time and I think staying in one or two nights in a week would help him. Oma W. S. S. Det. base ball team is wearing good ball this year. Mr. N. D Aldridge of Junction was out at Hill Pasture. Fort Eller on the 6th and made it to the car line on a hard run, but after his race he found it was the train coming instead of the car and had about five minutes more to wait.

Telephone Efficiency Efficiency is the wonderful new science of saving waste, either of time, money or human effort, of getting farther with less effort, and getting there quicker. Efficiency shows employers how to increase service and profits, too. Efficiency shows how to reduce the cost of doing things and at the same time doing those things better. The work of the world used to be done by hand, such work measured by modern standards was inefficient. If crops were planted and harvested by hand, we would again have food famines. If our letters were written by hand, we would do less business. If we had to walk to and fro one-half of our time would be spent walking. If we had to do our hoisting by hand derricks instead of modern electric cranes our machine shops could not handle large locomotives as easily as we would pick up a match. And so it is with our telephones. The Automatic Telephone has come, not to put girls out of their work, but because the world needs better telephone communication. Its coming was inevitable. It came in obedience to the great natural urge that spells progress, in letters at first, seen only by the men who are facing forward. It is the last word in telephone efficiency, and its adoption wherever telephones are used, is as sure as the law that brought it into existence 25 years ago in Kansas City, Mo. It is now used by over 500,000 people, by the United States Government; by the English, French, German, Canadian, New Zealand and Australian Governments, and it is going to be used within a year by the people of Topeka if the true sentiment of the people is being expressed by the hundreds who are daily signing petitions asking that the matter be put to a popular vote. It will mean efficiency in service, in rates, in time and nervous force, and it will add to the efficiency of the citizen to own it, and be responsible for it. It will help to relieve the payer of taxes, by earning a reasonable surplus, after reducing rates.

Dr. E. J. Fisher of Chicago, president of the convention, is arousing the entire West in order that this meeting may be the best in its history. Oklahoma has never done her full part towards the convention, but at a call meeting last September at Nashville, Tenn., at the call of President Fisher, the Oklahoma delegation voted solidly to co-operate and represent at Muskogee. She elected her official staff, all of which will be found in the minutes. Delegates have already been elected from the Creek District, the largest and richest Association of the state.

Great preparations are being made to royally entertain the delegates and friends who will visit the Convention on the above named date at the First Baptist church. The Baptist Ministers conference assisted by inter-denominational alliance will give the Baptists of the West a hearty welcome to our city in July. Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Cal.fornia, Nebraska, Iowa and Colorado will send from their states some of the ablest men and women of the race to represent is your work to help bring it. There are many Topeka people—busy men and women—taking time to get petition signers. Although the few (directors) of the Commercial club, and a few others are voicing their fears and doubts, there are over 100 times as many actively working. Over 200 Commercial club members are signers, and almost half of the signers are taxpayers. It will be the people who will bring the Automatic to Topeka. It is your work, men and women of Topeka, you who have tried present service and pay too much for it and have not found it up-to-date or entirely satisfactory. I could get all the money needed to build a modern Automatic System from your own people, but it would go the away of the original Harrison plant, and the Independent system, so that after all your work to boost for it, and your money to support it, you in one or two years would be back where you started. You might have the Automatic, but at a frightful cost. You need the Automatic Telephone and nothing can stop you from having it but your own inertia. Every man and woman in Topeka can do a little. Don't sit back and say that it's too big a task. The task is just as big, and not bigger, than you think it to be. If 10,000 people of Topeka were to sign our petitions tonight the thing would have been done. So you see it's only a matter of concerted action. When you sign the petition you simply are asking that the matter be submitted to the people to vote on. You are declaring in favor of it, but you are not letting a contract. The $900,000 bonds can only be authorized after a vote of the people at the regular election. If you would like to take a petition and circulate it among your friends, please write a postal card to, or phone— Drawer 2, Postoffice.

Father John Albert Williams of St. Phillip, the Deacon Episcopal Church of Omaha, Nebr., held a series of meetings at St. Simon Mission, 7th & Western Ave., ending last Tuesday evening. The members and visitors feel the benefit of his visit and learned much from the words that fell from the lips of him, whose knowledge of the bible has no superior. It was a source of pleasure as well as an education to see him perform the duties of an Episcopal minister. We have seen Bishops of his church perform the sage duties; have heard them preach, but have heard none better than Father Williams. Father Walker of St. Simon traded pulpits. He is going to Father William's church in Omaha. The Shamrock Art club held its annual picnic at Wilson's Summer Garden June 9th, with well prepared baskets and plenty of guests.

An elaborate dinner was spread at 2 o'clock, consisting of everything one could wish for—he cream and cake being served later in the afternoon.

FURNISHED ROOMS REASONABLE PRICES 523 N. Main St. Wichita, Kans All visitors are made welcome at the Calvary Baptist church, Corner Elm and Water St. Rev S. B. Butler, pastor. Rev Butler pictured very beautifully the condition of the man or woman who would endure to the end, also the man or woman who did not endure to the end, and in his discourse he stated the following facts. There are many people who start into the Church life who will never be saved. They are like some of the bugs who live only for one night and die, but they certainly make you a lot of trouble while they are here, and that is the way with some of the people who join Church they are only in the Church for a short time, but the trouble they give you while they are there. Lots of people work long enough just to get a "front," then they stop and walk around a while until they walk their heels off from their shoes and their clothes are ragged then they begin to look for a job. Some people come in Church just to make a showing for a while and then then they are ready to stop and live on their religion. Before your husband got religion you placed all of the blame on him and said he would not let you come to Church, now since he has joined Church and attends regularly you still stay away, what is the trouble now?

He is not only an example for the people of Kansas City, but of the U. S.

Mr. Moon also serves the best meals in Kansas City for 15 cts at his cafe'. There is not another cafe' in the United States any peater, cleaner, of more up-to-date, where you can get such fine meals for 15 cents. --- Mr. R. W.

As the laundry and poultry business belongs to the colored man, so does the barbecue, now why not get busy all over the country and hold this business down, before the white man takes it from us. Mr. Alexander is making money from the simple fact that he knows his business and keeps his place neat and clean. He has advanced ideas of barbecuing meats and has done away with the old time dirt pit and has invented new methods of barbecuing, which makes the meat more delicious. Judge F. D. Hutchings, Kansas City, Kansas, of the Second Division of the District Court of Wyandotte County, is a candidate for re-nomination on the Non-Partisan judicial ballot, subject to the primaries of Aug. 4, 1914. He is very popular among the lawyers of Kansas City and his petition was signed by the entire bar. He is also very popular with the colored people and has been fair and impartial in dealing out justice to them. He is a man that will not let the under dog and the poor, defenseless person go through his court on trial without the proper protection and defense, before the verdict is rendered. There were several instances pertaining to cases tried in his court of colored defendants before white jurors and they have always been fair and impartial in rendering their verdict, through his impartial instructions to them. An incident occurred in his court, where an orphan girl was tried for murdering her husband. She was married to this man, who she thought loved her and he was cruel to her and abused her, to such an extent that it was beyond her endurance and she killed him. It was brought out in the trial that he was guilty of sodomy and her lawyer, Mr. Brady sought a minister who quoted the laws of Moses which laid out the rule instruct them what to eat, whom to marry and also who they should not law with, especially the animal. After the instructions of the court and the talk of the minister, the jury composed of white men, liberated the girl, saying she was justified in killing him in self defense. Judge Hutchings is an able lawyer and everyone takes notice of his judicial ability and his many friends predict his re-nomination and election. A. N. ("MIKE") ALT. A N.

Madam May Smith of Philander Smith College, Little Rock, Ark., made a very excellent lecture at the church on Wednesday evening. Madam May Smith's lecture was a heart to heart talk with us. She is a lady of the opposite race, but we are confident that she has a deep interest in our welfare as a race which is made manifest from the work she is doing at present and has been for the last twenty-five years in the great school at Little Rock. Her lecture was full of encouragement and hope for the race in future years and the only regret of those present was that it was impossible for the whole colored population of Topeka to be present to hear it.
