There were representatives from Oakley and Pleasant View. The Sunday School was in charge of Miss Annie Williams, the illustrious instructor of No. 8. The lesson was very helpful and many truths were brought out concerning this period of our San-iorn's life and trials. Invocation by by Deanon J. J. Clark, after the welcome address by Matt Jones, Jr. and response by Harold D. Washington, of Pleasant View Sunday School sang "I Know That My Rochemer Lives." The hour for prowclay having arrived, Dottie Mishaney, Rev. M. S. Jones chose for his text, Matt 2817 "The Resurrection." He prescheduled a soul-stirring sermon, painted a vivid wood picture of the Crossification, death and resurrection of Christ and exhibited all to greater faith in their Master. At noon the contents of well filled baskets were spread on the grass. All present partook of the sumptious re-past. It being Easter Sunday, the afternoon was devoted largely to the child's program. The recitations, songs, and readings were all good, which speaks well for the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 20, 1923 Tells Arkansas' Governor Why Negroes Leave South Tojeka, Kansas, April 24, 1923 To His Excellency, The Governor of Arkansas, Little Rock, Arkansas. Dear Governor: We note through daily press dispatches under the date line of Little Rock, that there is a serious labor shortage. A copy of the statement follows below. New Negro Exodus Is On Little Rock, Ark. April 14.—The most serious farm labor shortage in the history of the state is confronting Arkansas farmers and, in fact, already is here, according to the plantation owners and the state department of labor. For the last six weeks an enormous number of apples for common farmers has been coming to the state employment bureau. Most of the calls have been from farmers, although lumber mill and construction contractors arearmoring for their share. A month ago E. L. McKinley, deputy commissioner of labor, decided to investigate the situation and determine the reason for the labor shortage and to seek a remedy. The chief cause, he says, is an exodus of Negro farm labor to the cities and towns and in hundreds of cases, to the North. Not even Jesus Sounds in a Believer's Ear." Dr. children as well as their instructors. Miss Josephine Allen rendered an instrumental solo and vocal number, "Mary Don't You Don't You Mouln," which was highly appreciated and she was heartily enclosed. Also of special interest was a vocal duet by Mr. X. W. Ward and Dr. W. F. Carey, "How Sweet the name of Carey, a mellow tenor and Mr. Ward at his best with that wonderful bass voice of him. He is a singer of great talent, being a member of one of Chicago's largest choirs. Their effort was loudly applauded and they sang as an encore, "Rucked in the Cradle of the Deep." Then followed the distribution of laster eggs which as usual, pleased the little folks. The convention was well attended. A large number of visitors were present, many of them being white. Among the visitors were Mrs. Lawrence Allen of Starkton, and her daughter, Miss Josephine, guests of Liev. and Mrs. M. S. Jones.

Phone (Dial 29) 11 X 1. 1949 Strong Avenue. five thousand young Arkansas Negroes were drafted into the army, was the plantation owner confronted with the shortage that exists today. in the war, when more than twenty. An investigation among local men who own some of the largest cotton farms in the state shows without exception that whole families of Negro laborers have moved off the farms in the last few weeks and in some instances every able-bodied Negro has some. Mr McKinley has not been able to trace enough of the emigrants to determine what lies behind the exodus, but in almost every case investigated, relatives and acquaintances of the deceased have imparted the information that the family moved up north where the husband or the son was earning. To be a day it is Mr. McKinley's union that the restriction of emigration, compiled with the industrial activity, particularly in the building, steel and motor car trades, is responsible for the higher wages being paid labor in the north, which is drawing the southern Nebraska from the plantations. Your Deputy Labor Commissioner seems not to have learned enough to tell why there is a shortage except that so many Negroes are having Will Dear governor, we can help him out in his quandary. You remember the Debra root? You know what caused it? The plantation and land owners were robbing the Negro tenants out of their crops, and labor as well, and when they attempted to go into court to protect their rights, first becoming organized by calling meetings in their churches and school houses, to seek a remedy by employing attorneys, they were conned upon and mobbed like cattle in the slacksards. hangerous courts were held, the third degree applied, innocent men, were compelled to turn state's evidence against innocent men to hide the crimes of white planters and land owners and hotters of colored people who wanted such a chance to outrage colored women and children. Hill came to Kansas to save himself from being lynched and burned at the stake, and your state spent an untold amount of money to extradite him. Our Governor would not at your officers have him than your officers sought the aid of the United States Government and were refused, al because your state was asking for an unjust claim because the rights of a colored citizen could not be fairly adjudicated in a law court in Arkansas, where a white man's word is law and gospel over that of a colored man, when the issues were clearly drawn between the races. Your courts and juries are made up of all white men who feel duty bound to carry out the unwritten law of the south — that no colored man has any right that a white man is bound to respect. Since this is the case and since the REBECCA TABERNACLE HOLDS INTER9STING MEETING Kansas City, Kan., April 14.—Rebecca Tabernacle held her regular monthly meeting April 2nd.

Elaine riots, colored people's have been migrating from your great, undeveloped state full of resources, and going north, east, and west where they can at least breathe a little free air. They want schools in every district for their children, with good school houses and well paid instructors. A state where no distinction is made in favor of a white teacher of the same grade and where the same amount of work is required, simply because one happens to be colored and the other white. Colored people are not encouraged to vote and are intimidated by objections, election laws which deprives them of the ballot where they could vote for the man who would administer the laws justly to all. They would vote for a white man, let him be a slave, democrat, or Republican, if he were fair to all; that they can't do in Arkansas, so they are going to states like Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and many other states where they can accumulate wealth, educate their children; where free schools and colleges abound in great numbers; states where white people like to meet intelligent educated and progressive colored people and encourage them. Now, Dear Governor, if you will have your legislature to enact some wholesome laws wherein tenants and laborers have the same rights that land and plantation owners have, and appoint officers who will enforce them; report all black laws on your statute books, let your commercial organizations encourage thrifty colored people plung all lines of business and professions, your labor commissioner would not be worrying because the colored people are leaving it live in which they have so well. They love the good white people there and hate to leave them their humble shelter but they are forced to do so on account of the cruel and harsh treatment they are subjected to. Cruel and harsh treatment will drive a dog away, let alone a human. The southern colored and white people should get along like two peas in a pool. They are all mixed up so you can't tell very well which race either belongs to and it is no fault of the colored people. Governor please have a law enacted whereby all white men shall be compelled to take care of their children by colored women and, the same for colored men by white women. Make this a law and you will break up some of this race prejudice. The colored people of Arkansas want to stay and will, if you will recognize them as citizens, if the Jew, the Indian, Mexican and other foreigners can on lay the same rights in Arkansas that a white man can, why can't the colored man who made that state and the south PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR SUFFERS HEAVY FIRE LOSS Kansas City, Mo, April 20.—Special Dr. Theo Smith, one of the leading druggists in Kansas City, suffered a heavy loss by fire a few days ago. His large stock of drugs and sundries was almost a total loss. He will be back on the job within a short time. Dr. M. I. Flynn, the manager is eager to open up. He is a fine, dignified Christian gentleman who always tries to please his customers, and Mr. Smith is so pleased to have such a man connected with his business, as he stands for nothing but progress and strictly business. The same treatment to all his customers is his motto. He enjoys a fine trade from both races and his customers are clamoring for him to open C. H. SEARLE FOR SENATOR His friends say the farmers and laboring classes will take to him like a duck to water, and the business people will follow, and the women voters want be slow. Representative C. H. Searle, of the Thirty-fifth district, today announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for state senator from Shawnee county, to succeed Senator Hugh T. Flerer. Matt Weightman, former member of the legislature from Shawnee county, recently announced for the position, and Searle's statement today doubtless means a fight for the nomination. Scarle has served two terms as member of the legislature from Shawnee county, and was chairman of the house insurance committee during the last session. He is manager of the Scarle Adjustment bureau, and for twenty years was state agent and adjuster for a fire insurance company. He is also actively interested in agriculture and stock raising, and is a member of the Grange. He owns three Shawnee County farms and devotes much time to farm work. Scarle's home is at 1230 Garfield Avenue, Topeka. He was first elected to the house in 1920, and re-elected for two years last fall. Y. M. C. A. DRIVE GOES OVER As we go to press the Y. M. C.

Each guest departed declaring the members of the Sunflower Dramatic and Music Club ideal entertainers. Those apostles of luxity who can never find time to do anything as it ought to be done, go crookedly through life complaining in their semi-serious moments that they are lagging leagues behind their rivals and never getting any where. They admit this without any apparent sense of shame or compulsion of conscience. Sometimes to their intimates of love like, they boast of their short-comings in a spirit of bravado. A haziness that distinguishes them from what they distinctly turn the "common cloak" to whom they will scarcely not add a contentious good morning, seem in their minds to put them upon a worshipful pedestal. Daily they go about their task in a slippod manner, shunning responsibility as a hen avoids a pool of water. Everything they do is half done. Canless in observing how the proficient save time and energy and thus make work a plausible instead of a drag, these hostless persons are always in trouble, sowling and finding fault, even when everything about them is cheerful. Their desks or benches are continuously in confusion, quite in keeping with their unmethodical minds. When urgently needed no paper or tool is within sight or reach. It is generally hidden away somewhere in a disordered heap. Precious minutes are lost while searching for the clusive thing, and should the task of finding it be more vexacious than usual, some innocent fellow-worker is openly charged with pilfering. Then a storm breaks and the atmosphere is surcharged with anger, which in the customary slowness of cooling off is like've to have the principals for days and days in sulky humors. Persons of this chaura tr are doomed to fail in everything they undertake except in the making of poems and the wrecking of friendships. However they are found there is no moral foundation,道德价值 and morality. There is no moral value which is given to the work of the person in the production to higher ranks. Little Park, like April Lake, once ran the world to meet poor children in the town of Adam Houkings of this city, who, according to a report coming from his dead wife's sister, stole his dead wife's clothes in order to give them to the "other woman" in the case. New York, April 3. College women throughout the country have been asked by the Bureau of Social Hygiene, Inc., founded by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to answer an unusually frank questionnaire concerning love, it was learned today. Questions put to unmarried woman Few old were you when you first began to spoon? What effect, as you estimate, did spooning have upon the quality of your character? Will you give the reason why you have not married? What things are most stimulating to you? Quotations for Married Married women and widows were asked these questions: Has your married life been a halfpyne? If not, why not? Were you strongly attracted toward young men? If so, how would you describe this attraction? Did you indulge, with one or more young men in the intimate usually embraced in the term spooning? If so, how far did you go in spooning? The purpose of the questionnaires is to aid in solving the seeing problems and olives. Remove the stones from the lens of education and hygiene. "We must have more information about the average woman to have an inable grid树 in the training of our girls and boys," the introductory statement reads. "The needful information covers items of personal tenility, education and opinion. To be of real value the much information must come out of the life experience of sensible and intelligent women who can be relied upon to formlil thoughtful and well-statement." All Answers Confidential A study of the first thousand answers has been nearly completed. All answers will be held confidential, so far as they relate to personalities. Ellsworth Paris, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago and an expert on questionnaires, commented on the inquiries after many graduates of that institution received them. "The value of such a questionnaire to science is in doubt," he said. Some of its questions are vague and virtually impossible of scientific consideration. However, I know some of those who are conducting this investigation, and I am aware that there effort to contribute to the cause of scientific research is sincere. Childless Woman Wanted Babies and Stole Three of Them Dallas, Texas, April 12.K Mrs. Robert Williams of this this city, was arrested last week as she stopped off a train in El Centro, Cal. She was carrying with her three babies she had abducted from mothers in this city. According to stories told here, Mrs. Williams would call at the home of a family where there were babies and impersonate a welfare worker. She would tell the mother that she wished to use the child in a "perfect baby" exhibit. After taking the infant she would never return with it. Assuring suspicies by the police, she said she was childless and simply wanted some babies. Why should we desire to meet difficulties prematurally when we have neither strength nor light provided for them? Let us give heed to the present whose duties are pressing; it is fidelity to the present which prepares us for fidelity to the future.—Fenelon.

Prof. Joseph died at the Kansas Sanitarium a few days ago after a long illness, at the age of 31 years. He matriculated at Kansas University, the University of Wisconsin, and Columbia University, and obtained the degrees of A. B., PhD. He had taught school at Whiteh. Kansas, and in the high school of St. Louis, No., from which place he had taken a leave of absence to attend the Columbia University. There he fell a victim to a disease which he fought hard to conquer. His funeral was conducted from the 9th street Baptist church Lawrence Kansas, the home of his wife, Rev. G. W. Jackson, the pastor, officiated assisted by Revs. Ransom and McNeal. The foral offerings were heartful and many. He leaves a wife, father, brother and stepmother and a host of friends to mourn their loss. His remains were interred in Oak Hill Cemetery, Lawrence, Kansas. He was a big' class Christian gentleman, just entering into that part of life whose the tree needed him and had he lived there would have been no superior to him in his profession. He was sanguishing to attend the best round in the educational world. It is hard to find such a young man as he was; they are scarce and far between. --- Omaha, Nebr., April ——, Fort Thousand young men from the Seventh Corps Area are expected to attend the annual Citizens, Military Training Camps which will be held August 1-30 inclusive within the corps area, it is stated by officials at the Army Building, Omaha.

NATIONAL HOSTESTEAD LEAGUE INCORPORATES AND OFFERS COLORED PECPLE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES --- This league can assist you to locate on Homestead lands in the following states to persons of color who are desirous of becoming home and land owners and who are sufficiently acquainted with the agricultural pursuits to justify their removal from their present environments. Lower California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and in other states. The league has already acquired by purchase a valuable tract of land in Colorado Springs, known as "Plpaso Heights," a shelter house and a hospital will be erected on this tract for the accommodation of those four people who may desire lands in the West and want to take advantage of the climate of this great health resort at a minimum expense. A hospital for colored people has long been needed at this point; the league will lose no time in carving out this project to completion; a system has been worked out by which every member of the National Homestead League will be eligible to service and the National Homestead League will also assist those who may not be financially able to attend the private places by giving them the advantage of reduced rates. The present program calls for an outlay of approximately $10000 and the league, in order to raise this fund has launched a membership campaign for 50000 members.

THE BEACON LIGHT We thought that it was only the older members of our race who were affected with anything like an "Inferiority Complex," but the other morning we came across a real young, and we had thought, well-educated young 'ady who has tried in her own little way to impress upon us the fact that she is in a class by herself when it come to things intellectual, who has that malady. The symptoms came to the surface when she made the astounding assertion that she didn't consider Negro professional men capable of rendering competent service. She was trained, so she claims, in a vocation usually confined to white people. Perhaps it is because she failed to measure up to her white sisters that she considers all other Negroes inferior when it comes to doing things which bring into competition with white people. Anyway that is the opinion most people will have of her when she utters such silly statements as that. It is time for the who's body politic of any race to become alarmed when its youth has such a state of mind. This disease (and it is a serious disease) exhibits itself in the youth. An intensive study of Negro history would go a long way toward remedying the defects of this nature. OUR LAWRENCE VISITORS Recently the Lawrence Forum sent their exchange program to the Topeka Forum, (The Topeka Forum had sent a program to Lawrence at an earlier date). The program progressed nicely until a discussion on a paper by a Physician from Lawrence, "Fundamentals and Fear," was reached. After he had finished reading his paper, the audience was invited to discuss the subject. Of course nobody dreamed that those who ventured to have anything to say were supposed to either agree with the good doctor or necessarily enlarge upon what he said, but they did get the impression that they were being asked to express their own opinions, and this they did. Nobody offered to correct them and the learned doctor sat like a sphinx during the whole discussion. When the discussion ended, he rose and proceeded to tell his hearers that the people of Topeka did not have a very good knowledge of Brain and Brawn By Merril C. Smith JACK DEMPSER'S SCLILOQUY "Ah, me! if one were on'y not so old. Another, frail and far too light if weight; And still a third, too young, though strong and bold. A fourth too dark of skin. Ah, cruel fate. That made me such a man, a thing of star. To all the world! Monarch I am Of boys far and near. Each mighty flat is like a battering ram! When I do ope my mouth let no dog bark! Alma for a champion, lost he find the park His home, a lowly bench his wooden bed— Vt. sweet Mu'doon, let Jack knock someone dead!" —From Boxing, London, England In the recent park meet between Imporia Teachers and Baker, Williams of Imporia, was high point man, with fifteen points, taking first in the century, in 10:01 time; the 220 dash at 23:06 and the broad jump, clearing 20 feet, 8.5 inches. Williams is considered to be one of the best athletes of the state by the different coaches and has made a good start this season. It looks as if he will better his record of last year. He is just plain "Ligh" every time you see him. STEAMS WINS HONORS AT O. U. Ottawa Kansas. In the annual inter- class track and field meet between the areas of Ottawa University, April 10. Norris Stokes, Jr. of the Freshman class, tied with an upper class man for individual honors. Stokes, a former Pratt High School star, and three let- ter man in track, won the mile, half mile and two mile. The O. U. School paper says of him: "The work of Stokes in the distances was the outstanding feature of the afternoon. He was especially good in the mile, winning it in 1:33 without exerting himself. By careful training he has 13 Geo. C. Anderson the English language. He even sent so far as to assagt that only one or two out of the large number who had appoin'd had said anything with any sense to it. Of course the learned doctor did not know that it was nearly the concenus of opinion that HE had said nothing. Personally we don't think that any of the Lawrence people were conceited but other folks did. To further increase this already growing opinion, the young man who easyl'd to play the selection by Rubinstein tried to illittle the musical appreciation of Topeka when he attemped to explain his condition, and the audience settled themselves to hear a great treat, but somehow when it was all over, the ruscians in the assembly didn't seem to be impressed to say nothing of us lesser lights. The other numbers on the program showed real merit, and were enthusiastically received by the audience. Mr. Wright, as master of ceremonies could not be excled. Surely, if Lawrence comes again another hearty welcome awaits her. --- That foot line on the bottom of our front page is causing a number of infuiries as to what it means. Here is the secrets.

Before the season is over, opposing milers, half milers and two milers will find him a formidable adversary. April 10th in a dual meet at Emporia between the College of Emporia and Ottawa University. Stokes tied for first in the mile. Due to the inability of he judges to decide, it was called a tie, although Stokes breasted the tape an inch or two ahead of his opponent. The time was 4:50 3.5. The meet was held in spite of the rain that fell during the entire time. Stokes also got second in the half mile. By scoring seven points in this meet, he did most of the scoring for O. U, and needs only four more points to clinch his "O." The next meet is a dual with Baker at Ottawa. April 15th. According to dope, Stokes should win the mile and also the half. He runs in the relay too. On April 17, 1909, Joe Jeanette defeated Sam McVey in fifty rounds in Paris, France. On April 14, 1910, Sam Langford knocked out Jim Barry in 16 rounds at Vernon Cal.

In regard to the Sikh McTigue fight James McAnerney, special writer for the affair for the English publication, "Poving." remarked that: "I take no stock in Mark brotherhoods or colored races at all. I am an Irishman and am always pleased when an Irishman wins but I do like to see him win before I hear that he has won and with the best will in the world, I am unable and was unable to make McTigue a winner. In my mind, McTigue won handsomely and with comparative ease.
