Moderate price ★★★ THE BEACON LIGHT Being a Little Bit of Everything. By Geo. C. Anderson Frequently we hear loud and alarming cries from some of our people who are afraid of the Ku Klux Klan. Sometimes we think that these alarms are false—that the Klan means nothing in our young life, but when we read such items as the following and in a large daily paper like the Topeka (Kansas) Daily (Capital), we are forced to believe that after all the Klan is perhaps adversely interested in our welfare. The article under discussion follows: "You will not give Negroes any more favorable publicity such as they received for being the first contributors to the Christ's hospital fund." A voice over the telephone informed the Daily Capital yesterday, "We won't stand for it. This is the K. K. K. headquarters." Such a warning coming from this dreadful housed terror naturally leads the thoughtful person to wonder where the klan gets its authority, and more important still, the wherewithal to carry on their nefarious operations. Editor R. B. Wright Jr. of the influential Christian Recorder evidently believes that Negroes are as guilty as anyone else in supporting our housed terrorors, for says he in a leading editorial: "Mr. B. M. Rodd, of Memphis, Tenn., in making a speech the other day, stated that in the City of Memphis there were two colored banks, one of which he is himself the cashier, which had more than a million dollars, another, one which had a quarter of a million dollars. All of this money is from colored people. But there were other banks in the city of Memphis, he said, which had more than three million dollars in them belonging to colored people. What Mr. Roddy, said of Memphis is true of practically every city in the country with the exception that most of them do not have as much money in colored banks as Memphis has. Most of them have their money in white banks. The heads of many of these banks are Ku Klux themselves, and much of this money is used to help organize the Ku Klux. From many of these banks the Ku Klux can borrow money, and the colored people themselves cannot borrow. Thus in an indirect way, many of our people are supporting the Ku Klux Klan with their money while they protest against it with their voices. Which do you think is the more powerful!" Brain and Brawn Among the By Merril By Merril C. Smith An attempt to whitewash Siki in the Chamber of Deputies failed as was only to be expected. The Deputy for Senegal tried to reopen the matter by taking an opposition to the annual government grant for physical culture, but the minister in charge of the Deputy must pointed out that the subsidy was solely for amateur athletic development and declined to permit any discussion on Siki's case. Lively debate had been anticipated by the people behind the scenes as according to previous advances to land from Paris Siki's punishment was not only just, but of anything, eras on the side of lenency. The French Federation are anxious that the details are not publicly disclosed and it would be obviously unfair to Siki if he is not afforded an opportunity to defend himself. A wise man's mind changes, but a fool's never. The New York housing commission have got some real "wise birds." Marcel Mille is considered the Official heavyweight champ of France. The French Federation appointed him to the crown. Of course we will not attempt to say what Sikl would like to do. We are certainly getting tired of saving up money for that Dempsey-Wilds golf. Next year will be soon enough to start. We read that Battling Niki is going to give up his shoe shining business to enter the movies. Now our advice to to him is "Stay away from the movies as they are full of "frame up." We received a communication from dr. Rouser of Parsons, stating that his team has not lost a game this season. It is a pity that Chanute and Parsons both can't claim that honor and the towns so close together. --- --- --- --- By Geo. C. Anderson Over at Asbury church the other Sunday night, that worthy body celebrated its 42nd anniversary. The event was fittingly commenced by observing what Presiding Elder termed a Community night, at which time business and professional men from all parts of the city were invited to deliver addresses. Many of them accepted the invitation, as did Mrs. James, City Social Worker. Noteworthy among the speakers (including the writer) was Attorney Phisha Scott. We must say that Mr Scott certainly threw a bomb-shell into the meeting when he voiced his sentiments as to the method in which the church should be conducted. He said among other things that the churches for the most part were in the wrong places; that their method of government fault. For the most part we agree with Mr. Scott, although we can't substitute to his whole arrangement of the church of the present day and its method of procedure. According to Mr Scott churches should be located in places easy of access and among other things should contribute to the economic welfare of its constituency as well as its spiritual welfare. Lack of space prohibits us from discussing the subject further, but if there are any of you who disagree with him, speak right out, we'll publish your idea too. We have an arbiter to whom we submit our articles before they appear. It often happens that she (yes, its a her) doesn't approve and our readers are deprived of a whole week's effort. That is what happened to our masterpiece this week—"The Satraps of the Simple." We are re-writing it, however, and it is sure to get by at an early date. One of the very great efforts put forth by any organization to raise funds for a worthy cause will have its culmination in "The Wedding Extravaganza," by members of the St. John A. M. E. church on the 22th of this month at the City Auditorium. Those who seem to know, claim that this will be the one great event of the season that stands out at the top of the list in so far as merit is concerned. Prof. Jackson, head of the Music Department at Western University, will perform on the big electric-controlled pipe organ, and best of all, someone will be given a Ford Car. Basketteers. C. Smith Mr. A. M. Robinson of Cherryvale is organizing a Sunday School basketball team. We wish him success with his team and would like to hear from him. This is indeed a good thing and it would be nice if more Sunday Schools would organize and teach young folks real clean sports. On looking at some of the exchanges we find that Sol Butler, a Kansas boy of international fame, now captain of the New York Defenders Basket Ball teams, and who plays guard on the same team, has had a little averse luck, losing two games that they should have had a walk away with. The Topeka Y. M. C A. Basket Ball team has been trying to arrange a series of games in southern Kansas but all of the managers find some kind of an excuse when they decide to answer our letters. 99.41 K. I. E. I. LOSES TO W. U. In one of the most exciting games Basket Bad games played this season on the K. I. K. I. floor, Western University of Quindaro Kansas, defeated the K. I. towers to the time of 18 to 6.

According to Major Abbott, coach for K. I., the Institute has an almost entirely new team. The next game will be played on Saturday night of next week. Without Canvassing. Without selling.

K. church, delivered the funeral sermon, assisted by Rev. F. F. Moten of the A. M. E. church. Services were in charge of Undertaker W. P. Campbell and Co.

J. Sparks died after a severe illness of several weeks. Her death came as a surprise to many who did not know that she was so ill. She was a member of the American Woodmen. Beautiful flowers covered the basket. SALINA, KANSAS --- Pastor Williams preached a glorious and soul stirring sermon Sunday morning; subject: "Reaching Out After God." His text was a portion of the third Psalm: "David said, My soul thirsteth for Thee." The pastor pointed out the wonderfulness of having the soul thirst after God. That in itself is a blessing for we are told that "Blessed are they that thirsteth after righteousness for they shall be filled." We may blessed with much of this world's goods but nothing satisfies the soul but the grace of God. Mr. and Mrs. Amos Tyler and Mr. Harry Tyler of Abilene, Lawyer Fred Holm of Wichita, and Mrs. Rich of Kansas City, Mo., were among the visitors whoattended our services Sunday. We extend to all a cordial welcome to worship with us. St. John Baptist church has secured a permit to erect a new building on North Walnut street. The architects are busy drawing the plans. They expect to start building in the early spring. An effort to raise $750.00 in the next sixty days is being made for the purpose of paying the architect's bill. The different auxiliaries have pledged themselves to raise the following amounts: Mission Circle, #150.00; Ladies Aid, $130.00; Sunday School, #100.00; B. Y. P. C., $50.00 and the church proper, $200.00, making a total of $750.00 from all sources. The workers are putting forth their effort to go over the top in this drive. The old folks concert given by the St. John Baptist church hour was a very successful affair. A goodly number of people were present. All enjoyed seeing the costumes of 1873 and listening to the old fair tar songs. Mr. John Rhodes is spending a few days in Kansas City, Mo.
