ROMEO WEST LAID TO REST The funeral services of Romeo Allen West were held in the chapel of Lincoln Institute Monday morning at 11 o'clock April 1, 1918. The services were in charge of Dr. Hendy of Jefferson City, a close friend of President Allen and the school. As the body was brought in the chapel, there was played the processional "Now the Day Is Over," followed by "Asleep in Jesus," sung by the chorus. The Scripture reading and prayer were given by Dr. Hendy, after which Miss Johnson played with much feeling "The Holy City." The sermon by Dr. Hendy was a beautiful lesson of a well spent life and one of true service. He paid the highest tribute to the departed because of his useful and exemplary life and admonished young men whose aspirations are high to emulate such a life. He said in part he had only words of the highest commendation to speak of Mr. West, for he knew of no other. His greatest reward will come when he receives that welcome apprehension from Him: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant!" "Face to Face" was very sweetly sung by Miss Hall. The Obituary and the Resolutions of the faculty, read by Miss Christburg, gave in slight degree the real importance of the deceased in this great institution of learning. His preparation for life was carefully supervised by President Allen, who was an inspiration to the young man. The services and Resolutions of the Secret Orders of which he was a prominent member attest the high regard in which he was held. The most impressive part of the service was the words spoken by President Allen, the life-long friend of Mr. West. Amid tears that came fast he spoke tenderly of his relationship to the deceased, and of that loyalty and honesty which had never been shaken. The recessional was: "Steal away to Jesus." The floral tributes were profuse and beautiful, bespeaking the very high esteem in which Mr. West was held in this and other communities. IERCE ADDITION.

PETTJOHN Republican Candidate for Secretary of State. In selecting men for the various state offices, it behooves the colored people to look well before making a decision as to whom they will support for this or that office. They should look well to those who are friendly to the race—men who will step out of their way if necessary to lend a helping hand in our onward march toward the goal of success and happiness. In looking over the several candidates, thus far none seem to measure up so fully to this requirement as Hon. Low Pettijohn, of Dodge City, who seeks the Republican nomination for Secretary of State. Mr. Pettijohn comes from a long line of patriotic ancestry, his father, Dr. Pettijohn having been one of the operators of the famous underground railway, back in Hamilton County, Indiana. It was here that the elder Pettijohn located a colony of colored people upon some cheap land and today it is one of the most prosperous communities in the entire country. Mr. Pettijohn visited the county some four years ago and says that the homes and surroundings of these people are a credit to the state and country in which they live. Thoroughly emubed with a spirit of fairness and a firm believer in all men up and no man down, Mr. Pettit John followed the teachings of his illustrious father, and while in charge of the United States land office at he was instrumental in locating a colony of our people in Stevens county and today it is one of the most prosperous communities in the state. The people are surrounded with plenty and they are up and doing at all times. While serving in the legislature some four years ago, Mr. Pettifolj again proved that he desires to see the man of color have a square deal. A bill was offered before the legislature that would have put every colored train porter out of service had it became a law. Unsolicited Mr. Pettifolj took up the cause of the race and succeeded in eliminating this clause and thus saved hundreds of colored men their jobs. As a citizen, no better resides within in the bounds of Kansas. He is loyal to the core and lending every aid within his reach to bring about the defeat of the kaiser. He has a son with Pershing somewhere in France. AFRICAN CHIEFS VISIT FRENCH BATTLE FRONT Below is a press dispatch telling of the visit of African chiefs to the men at the front "somewhere in France," and this shows that France is respecting her colored contingents. We wonder if this country will allow some colored person from America to go over to France to see if our soldiers are properly treated. Somewhere in France—At the invitation of the entente allies two prominent African chiefs are now making a tour of the front. It is the first time that official representatives of the great African tribes have been so honored. They are visiting all the African labor battalions, as it is one of their chief objects to see how the black laborers are treated. When they return they will be able to make an interesting report to the chiefs and tribes on the wonders and terrors of scientific warfare. "OUR BLACK SAMMIE." Quick to his country's call he went When Uncle Sammy for him sent. Who's more for America's victory bent Than our Black Sammies? Loyal to the flag he will be He'll help to crush the brutal power. And the world will bless the happy hour. Who'll help to lessen our great sorrow? Our Black Samurai To France some will cross the mighty deep, Some in a foreign grave may sleep, We pray that God's great love will keep Our Black Sammies Eighty-three thousand six hundred Negroes, so you see, Are drafted to go over the sea. Of officers six hundred eighty two to be, From our Black Sammies. Now, let us treat him like the rest. Don't segregate like he's a pest. For he will fight his very best, Our Black Sammie. Oh, the joy they'll bring to you and me. (Written by Mrs. John Hughes, Hawatha, Kan., and dedicated to the colored soldiers.) COFFEYVILLE. KAN. Mrs Mary Hunnigan died March 21 after a short illness.

Otherwise the War Savings organization will lend hearty co-operation with the State Liberty Loan organization to help put over the state's quota of bonds for Uncle Sam needs the money for the prosecution of the war, and the people of Kansas are not going to deny him anything that will count for success in financing the war. The public schools of Kansas are developing many good speakers, who as the orators of the future are to tell of the glories of the Sunflower State, as a result of the speakers' contests in March to choose Junior Four Minute Men for the War Savings and Thrift Campaign. With a wave of patriotism sweeping over this state and Nation, the boys and girls in the schools of today have advantages of educational equipment that were not possible to be attained by our elders a few generations ago. A Kansas boy over in France performs some great soldierly feat today, and before night they are proclaiming his valor in the school rooms and public gatherings. Dr. Paul Patterson, a young Kansas surgeon in one of the Evacuation hospitals in France, was dressing the wounds of a soldier a few days ago. "Say, Doctor, where are you from," the wounded soldier asked, as he lay on the operating table. "From Kansas City, Kansas," the Doctor replied as deftly he plied his instruments. "Why, that's my home too," the wounded soldier exclaimed. He proved to be Hughey Harrell, who was call boy at the Santa Fe roundhouse in Argentine before he went to France as a volunteer in the 18th Infantry. This story suggests that in the future Americans will speak of foreign lands with a more familiar accent. France to Kansas people is no longer foreign territory. The Champs Elysees of Paris and the Paseo of Kansas City are synonymous. London Bridge, which has been "falling down, falling down," (in the songs of the children at play) for half a century, is not any farther from Kansas than is Frederickstown, through whose streets Paul Revere rode on that memorable day. When this war is over, the young savers will be cashing in their thrift stamps and War Savings and going over there to look upon the battle-fields where their fathers, brothers, sweet-hearts and husbands fought for the preservation of our liberties, and it will all be local territory. "When does Number Four go out?" you'll hear the girl from a Santa Fe town asking the station master in Paris. And along with the war education propaganda, it may be remarked that some clever artists are turning up among the school boys and girls of Kansas as a result of the poster contest conducted by Miss Pansy Dawes of Kansas City, Kan., for the War Savings Committee. Mr. Albert T. Reid of Topeka, Mr. Hanley and Mr. Kuoni of Kansas City, have consented to act as judges of the contest which closes April 19th. THE LEOPARD DOES NOT CHANGE HIS SPOTS. In 1871, Germany stole Alsace-Lorraine from France. She also compelled our noble ally to pay a billion dollar war indemnity. It was a triumph of might. Ever since that time the German nation has been preparing to steal the world, or as much of it as possible. Be sure of one thing. If she can carry out her plans, America, the richest country in the world, will have to foot the bill. No one will escape. Germany has boasted about her plans of conquest. This mud plan must end forever. Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps will help to end it by aiding our boys at the front. Who do you know who really cannot invest in War Securities? Start to buy them today and keep on buying them. BONDS AND WAR SAVINGS HALT THE HUN WITH LIBERTY BONDS AND WAR SAVINGS STAMPS! Liberty Bonds are sold in denomina- tions, $50 and Up.
