Unsigned communications, except from our regular correspondents, will not be published. Mr. Ben F. Endrews, of Leavenworth, the Republican whip of the Kansas legislature, demonstrated himself as a statesman by advocating the postponement of a resolution to investigate a few political reports of assessments reported to be made by the Democratic party sanctioned by Governor Davis. Also charges made against Representative Snyder of Atchison. He said there seemed to be a quarrel between the Democrats and he is in favor of letting them settle it among themselves and would be in favor of a committee of Democrats appointed to do that. But he thought it was unfair at this time to take advantage of Governor Davis, who is very sick at this time. Furthermore, the charges did not prove anything. Mr. Endres being the leading Republican of Kansas and of the house, showed himself above petty politics by making this motion and backing it up with words which put him in a class of statesmen who do big things and the people respect such men and will lose no time in placing them in positions where they can be of great benefit to all. Leavenworth county should be proud of Mr. Endres and some day he should be promoted to a higher position. Counting only one bushel of wheat to the acre, the amount of wheat needed to send the Kansas acreage for the crop of 1022 was 12,290,858 bushels, which is more than the whole crop in any one of 29 of the 48 states. Visitors to the State Fair at Hutchinson, September 15-21, will see displays of the best wheat produced this year, as well as methods used to increase the number of bushels production per acre. The average yearly value of Kansas corn for the last twenty years has been $67,679,016. This average value would buy 1,128 acres of land worth $200 per acre, for every working day in the year. Kansas record yield of corn was an average of 48.4 bushels per acre. This is a higher average than was ever recorded in 41 of the 46 states. So, Kansas is not alone a "wheat state," it is instead a State of diversified products. The visitors to the Kansas State Fair at Hutchinson, September 15-21, can see and compare the various farm products, livestock, etc., and can gain more for the money and time spent at the State Fair than in any other way. A trip to the State Fair is an education within itself, for all members of the family. It is the biggest vacation bargain in Kansas this year. Secretary Sponsler of the State Fair urges Kansans to plan their State Fair trip now. During the last twenty years the farmers of Kansas have produced approximately 400 million dollars' worth of hogs, or 20 million dollars' worth each year. Kansas has more hogs than 30 of the other states. The hog will insure prosperity on Kansas farms. The greatest exhibition of swine in the state is held at the Kansas State Fair each year. The dates this year are Sept. 15-21. Plan now to go to Hutchinson. FRANKLIN DANDERIDGE PASSES The citizens of Topeka paid a high tribute to the memory of Mr. John Franklin Dandridge, who died a few days ago after an operation for the amputation of his leg. He had suffered for a long while. He was a high class christian gentleman who attended strictly to business. He was the building expert for Crosby Bros, for 28 years, one of the largest dry goods firms in the west. The Crosby Bros. Co., honored and respected him for his efficiency, honesty and integrity. He was always on the job and kept his department up in G. 4. a. He was born in Marshall county, Missouri and came to Kansas thirty-five years ago. Was a member of the Third Baptist church and held the position of treasurer for years. He was a mason, member of Mt. Morlah, A. F. & A. M. He leaves a wife, two girls, four boys, two brothers, and a host of friends to mourn their loss. His funeral was held from the Third Baptist church, his pastor, Rev. Gaines, officiating, assisted by several other ministers. His remains were interred in Mt. Auburn cemetern. His son Leland came from Los Angeles to attend the funeral. We are proud to say he held this responsible position because he was competent and faithful. Crosby Bros. are Louisianans by birth and are doing all they can to promote competent colored people to positions of trust and honor. They will be proud when prejudice will fade away in the business circles and honest, competent people can be employed regardless of color. Mr I.: H. Crosby paid his respects to the widow and offered his services for whatever was needed. Also other members and clerks of the firm who also attended the funeral. Mr. Dandridge left a great legacy for the Race when he filled such a responsible position to the edification of his employees, which means other colored people will be employed from the record he has made. The many friends of Prof. B. K. Bruce and wife, of Leavenworth, Ks., will be glad to know they are recovering from the accident that occured a few weeks ago by taking an auto ride. Prof. Bruce had a few ribs and collar bone broken while Mrs. Bruce had her arm broken, caused by the machine skidding when rounding a curve. PROCLAMATION From the Grand East of the M. W.

Later he reviewed the lesson which was a sermon within itself, and a pleasure to listen to him. Immediately afterwards we entered into the morning worship. A splendid sermon was delivered by our pastor. Even though the service was of short duration the Holy Spirit was in our midst. Eight car loads of folks from the New Hope church motored to Atchison immediately after the close of the morning worship, to encourage our pastor and tender our appreciation to Rev. Cartwright and his members for having assisted us in our effort on the 3rd Sunday. We could not say other than we were cordially welcomed and royally entertained by the pastor, good members and friends of Ebenezer. True our stay was short but it was just long enough for us to desire a return soon. Rev. J. N. Gordon preached the rally sermon. It is hardly expedient for me to say that our pastor delivered an able, soul stirring sermon, well charged with the Holy Spirit, and that our hearts did burn within a while he talked with us by the way, for he has to his credit that distraction of being a God-fearing man and equal to the occasion. We were not surprised at the wonderful message he delivered as we feast upon similar sermons at home. We are indeed glad to sit under the sound of his voice and listen to such wonderful sermons as he only can deliver. Splendid music was furnished by the New Hope church choir. Members and friends of New Hope contributed $2620 to the rally.

Botts, is still carrying the mail from the depot to the post office. He has built a fine bungalow on 211 West Spruce and erected a new Baptist church named Mt. Zion. He bought a building and had it placed on a desirable lot and the members have called Rev. Goings of Kansas City, Kans., to pastor it. He is a widower and right here is a good chance for some good woman to secure a good husband and home. At Chanute we attended the Grand Lodge of K. of P., and the Grand Court of Calanthe. We must say that the colored people of Chanute cover them-selves with glory entertaining these two grand bodies. We found our old friend, John Kieser, plumber, very happy and doing fine. He married last January to Mrs. L. Crith. They have a beautiful home at 1602 South Central avenue. They have over three hundred chickens and a fine garden, and seem to be enjoying life. We found Miss Anna Weather-spoon doing a fine second hand business in the clothing line. Also deals in carpets and rugs.
