If Kansas City had Just Fifty who had Half the Push, the Race Would Move off in the Business World. Around That Burg, Jews, Greeks and Shoddy Whites Would not be Fleecing the Race Out o ffligh Rents for Squalled Quarters. Ninety Per Cent of the Colored People of Kansas Depend Upon These Robbers for Housing, Food and Political Advice, and Fifty Per Cent of the Race Rob the Other Fifty, and turn it over to the White Crafters—So the Poor Honest Class is Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Too Many Professional Fakes in the Race in Kansas City—All Mouth and No Brains—Not an Organization in Kansas Ever Built a House For Rent to Race People.—Only a few Individuals Build. There is Not Enough Energy or Brains or Confidence Among Them—Organize A Building Association and Go Out and Buy a Few Acres and Build Houses Galore—Only Thing to Stop Segregation and Dynamiting. Go On, Baker and Green, and Wake up the Dead Gassers of Your City. Too Many Homeless and Hungry People Buying White Men's Worn-out Cars. All Gasoline Stations Owned by White People. Colored Man So Wrapped up in Frivolity Hasn't Woke up to the Enormous Amount of Gas He is Burning up. THE NEW YORK TIMES Bishop W. T. Vernon and Wife sailed for South Africa via. London, England, October 30th. They hope to arrive in Capetown in November. He will return for the General Conference next May. His many friends hope them a successful journey. He will hold his Annual Conference in Africa this fall. When he returns he will be assigned to some first-class district in America. We expect to see him leading his race to the place in American history where all the people will respect each other's rights. He probably will be assigned to a district where everything will be in his favor. We visited the fancy grocery and meat market owned by Roy Barker and Elmer Green at 2125 Vine Street, Kansas City, Mo. These two young men are Topeka, Kansas products. Mr. Barker's father is a popular mail carrier in Topeka and church worker. Mr. Green's father, before his death, was the Rector of St. Simon's Mission Episcopal Church of Topeka. So these young men have had Christian training in their homes which accounts for their great success in business. They are honest, upright, and courteous to all they meet. They are doing a large business, employing from five to seven people, an automobile truck delivery. They carry nothing but first-class line of meats and groceries. They did over fifty-two hundred dollars worth of business the first year. They are now on their second year and everything bids fair for an in- Bishop W. T. Vernon and Wife sailed in October 30th.

The Jew, the Greek, and the American white men still control the colored people in the large cities along commercial lines, but they will not continue much longer if the race produces young men like Barker and Green. They are married and seem to be happy. Here's hope their wives use all the economy and influence for the good of their husbands' business.

HAITI WANTS COLORED FARMERS AND BUSINESS MEN Now is the Opportun time for the Race Men and Women to demonstrate what they know and what they can do. Great demands are being made on the Race for mechanical skill as well as the professional line. Wake up, my race, wake up and answer the call. RECEIVE AMERICAN PRESIDENT AND GIVES ONT STATEMENT Anxious for Better Economic Conditions in the Island-Will Welcome; Peace and Security Make Farmers Safe. Washington, D. C.—United States Senator Medill McCormick, in an exclusive statement to the Associated Negro Press, commenting on an article by Gardner L. Hardling from Port au Prince, Haiti on conditions in the Republic, believes that the regeneration of the country will be greatly benefited by co-operative action between Colored America and Haiti. "The article in the Christin Science Monitor upon Haiti is interesting and informing. The statement of President Born of Haiti, I believe, is a just, if brief summary of the situation. The whole countryside of Haiti had been ruined by successive revolutions which lasted over a generation. The people had been despoiled and oppressed by a few military adventurers. The primitive poverty of the Haiti masses is hardly comprehensible to those who have not traveled among them. Now that order has been restored; now that the finances of the Republic have been put in order, and the revenue system is undergoing a revision; now that civil justice promises to be effectively and honestly administered, the great and all important task is to establish a basis for the lasting prosperity of the people of Haiti. They cannot prosper unless their agriculture progress. Their agriculture cannot prosper unless they be taught new methods, unless seed and live stock be introduced from the United States. "The reforms already accomplished have followed the lines laid down in the Report of the U. S. Senate Committee, of which I was Chairman so long as it existed. I earnestly hope that the agricultural regeneration of the country will follow the lines which we indicated, and that Americans of African blood, graduates of agricultural schools, may be sent to Haiti to help their brothers. That is the most important work to be done in Haiti, among the simple, hospitable, "hool" country folk of Haiti. Who can go out among them to teach them so well as those Americans of their own blood who have been trained in agriculture, and who have been trained to teach others what they have learned?" President Borno's Statement Gardner L. Harding, whose story has attracted much interest, may among other things, in quoting a statement from President Borno, of Haiti: "I called on President Borno this afternoon. He is presumably on vacation, and he is living quietly in Haiti's summer capital in the mountain village of Petionville. You travel out to Petionville on a modern automobile road which mounts more than 1500 feet in some 15 exciting minutes. The village square, with its trees, some of them the incomparable flamboyant trees, brilliant with great red blossoms, looked like some animated town in southern France, with its tiny in the cool afternoon and its quiet, well kept houses. "At the presidential gates a dark sentry in the uniform of the gendarmes came to as snappy a port army as I have ever seen, and halted the car. The ceremony was then somewhat marred by the fact that the sentry had to call up a long driveway for the sergeant, who strolled down, took my card, strolled back, and at length called down the signal to proceed. Then we drove in, and the reason for this crution was apparent; for just around the corner from the driveway was the presidential porch it-self. The president of Haiti, a slender, scholarly man of medium complexion, was chatting in true front-porch style with a small group of visitors, while his wife, reputed to be one of the most charming women in Haiti, was entertaining on the terrace. "The drift of any conversation in Haiti leads inevitably to the problem: What does Haiti need? And the President, after questioning me about my trip up over the central plain to Ilinche and Thomonde, asked me if primitive agricultural aid for the 1,600,000 peasants who live in their own little cabins far away from the cities was not, after all, the place where the beginning of really helping Haiti would have to be made. "I believe the Americans have done marvelously in these few years," he said, "in opening up modern communications by bridges, roads and telegraphs. Also you will find out on the hills in the center and north of Haiti a peace and security of property today, which allows each little farmer to keep one more cow, to carry a few more loads to market and to till a little more land." He added: "But it is my idea that if our country is to be self-sufficient and independent—in the real, and not merely in the political sense—its producers must learn new physical and moral habits; and I hope you Americans will teach them, and help us teach them. You have seen the people; they are simple, kingly, inoffensive people. They have a notion of independence, but they have an instinct of primitive courtesy which makes the stranger, as you have do covered, as safe in the interior of Haiti as anywhere in the world. They never become bandits of their own inclination, and the fact that there is not a single caco operating anywhere in Haiti today—in spite of a few disappointed agitators in the towns—is exactly the normal state of life they desire. A well-disposed government can do anything with them, just as evil governments have in the past done everything against them. Foreign Capitalists Invited Foreign Capitalists invited "I may candidly say that I am in favor of every reasonable project for the introduction of foreign capital in Haiti, which will help to raise the standard of living of the people and contribute to the prosperity of the country. But your large American ideas forget our simple economy. We need irrigation, roads and public schools, but to pay for these things ourselves we need the most primary agricultural help—how to better our stack, improve our seeds, our cultivation, our tools, how to develop a district and communal interest in these matters—how to work a little more than for the immediate day's needs. "In other words Haiti's life must be expanded at the very bottom—the illiterate, undernourished, still wretchedly poor peasantry which produces all the wealth we have, and carried to market from day to day over the crude little footpaths which, for all your occupation, are still relatively unimproved. Then can we think of marketing and shipping of business, of economic independence. "For that reason, I welcome especially an American adviser like Dr. George F. Freeman of the University of the South, who comes with his experience in tropica lagromony in Indo-China and Egypt to help us where we most need help. And I hope you will tell your great people that, whatever may appear on the surface, there is still unawakened Haiti that will one day abundantly appreciate what you are doing here and will one day estimate in its true character—and that depends also on you—the larger spirit of American intervention." PRICE FIVE CENTS, $1.50 PER YEAR It sting personal service as a means of livelihood, 12,660 colored women have found employment as barbers, handressers and manicurists. While only 11 white females are engaged in shoe-shining a sun avocation, 22 colored women are thus employed throughout the United States. If milady should not like the true feminine finish that her shoemaker applied to her last boots, she may pick among 28 colored women, engaged in the work in the country, to make her next pair. Of the 35,442 colored persons who follow the profession of teaching public schools in the United States, 29,169 are women, and 94 of these women have reached the age of 65 years and over. It is surprising to note the scarcity of colored stenographers in the United States. There are only 2,310 of these, of which 1,970 are women. Of the bookkeepers there are 2,284 colored, with 1,611 females. Perhaps that last driver of the taxi you used was too reckless and careless. Call a woman taxi driver! You know there are 113 females among the 38,573 colored people doing this kind of work in the country. Or if you are entertaining special preferences for women, you can have colored females build your house, with the exception of the plumbing and gas-fitting. There are in the United States 34 colored women who are designers; three brick and stone-masons; 26 carpenters, three plasterers; eight painters, glaziers and varnishers and 11 paper-hangers. After it is finished you might have it insured by any one of the 447 colored female insurance agents. That stubborn and unsightly stone ledge which obstructs your view of the street. Remove it. How? That's simple. Just engage one of the eight colored women, who work in powder and dynamite factories to blow it up for you. Western continues to be showered with many worth-while gifts from the friends and well wishers. During the week we have received gifts from the following people, who also visited the school: Mrs. H. A. Abbington in behalf of the Mt. Zion District, 150 pounds of lard; Mrs. Laustie, of Independence, a valuable set of cooking spoons for the kitchen; Mrs. R. X. Arthur, Cape Girardieu, set of aluminum drinking cups. Besides these gifts Mrs. Campbell of the Central Baptist church, 10t hand Park, presented the school with a beautiful picture of Abraham Lincoln, and Mrs. Williams, 2410 Flora Avenue, this city Wednesday callers at the College gave the invitation a very fine mattress, were Mr. C. G. Williams, secretary U. B. P. Jefferson City, Mo., and Rev. and Mrs. G. A. Conway of Platt City, and Mr. Matthews of Kansas City. Miss Vamilla Noel of Montgomery, W. Va., were visitors at Western College Tuesday morning. Bishop Demi of Little Rock, Arkansas, paid Western College a visit on Friday morning. Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Howard of the Central Baptist Church called at the College Friday afternoon. WHAT COLORED WOMEN ARE DOING (Lincoln Service) There are seven colored police-women in the United States. Twenty-four colored women in the country are mail-carriers and 19 are "newsboys." You will be surprised to know that in 116 colored postmasters under Toaster General New, that 40 of these colored women. WESTERN COLLEGE NEWS PITTSBURG, KANS Miss Florence Walker was visiting in Franklin Saturday and Sunday with Miss Jubius Haynes, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Maple motored out to Cornell and spent the day with his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. John Walker. Mr. and Mrs. Clarice Maple and Mrs. John Walker and her daughters Miss Florlene Walker, motored to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dorsey's and had a very pleasant time with emfwyppy ver ypleasant time. There has been too much unfair and cruel criticism made against Prof. J. R. Johnson of the Taft School as to the part he too kin the legislative investigation. This criticism came from many of those of his old time enemies, who have ever fought him. The truth of this matter, Prof Johnson was forced to go before the committee. He did not go on his own initiative nor did he go willingly. The sheriff of this county had received a telegram from Mr. Disney, to bring him over. The sheriff permitted Johnson to go without being brought. Mr. Johnson could not "buck" the records. He had to come clean with the goods. In coming clean many have taken advantage of the situation to invoke a campaign of slander. It is not only wrong but dastardly to attack a man when he is standing up for the truth. There seems to be a well defined plan to encourage criminality among Negroes. This plan manifests itself in the freeing of the vicious Negro when he kills a Negro of importance. Again, there is no serious attempt in some quarters to stop the "bootlegging" Negro from his open and notorious handling of whiskey. The conspiracy seems to grow worse each day. The exodus of the coming spring will make all previous exoduses look like a hunting party. It is fully fixed in the Negroes' minds to leave, quit and not come back to the South. The South has no method or inducement that can check it. This is as it should be. We have tried the South for the last three hundred years without any constructive results, now let us go where civilization is more pronounced and respect for law more evident. Now, the heathens are complaining about the multiplicity of denominations. Every missionary has his side to tell to the heathens. This has continued matters and they have about decided to repudiate the whole scheme. It is this same cursed thing that has so long enslaved the minds of the American Negro. This old rotten system is being idolized by soft job preachers short halerrd women and long haired men. Fervency of Christianity does not mean the feeding of an army of loafing ministers or trailing conventions. Nothing is more sickening than to be ever held up by a bunch of begging church women. The man who permits his wife or daughter to go into the streets begging for church money is either a central dwarf or moral pervert, probably both. In their ignorant earnestness many of the women and girls have lost their conventional modesty and moral bearing. Our disposition to ignore approaching danger got its start or birth in a foolish conception of the Bible, re-inforced by a nignorant ministry. We are ever talking about prayers and the power of God without conforming to Biblical teaching or serving God in such manner as to justify this anticipation. Sensible Negroes no longer invest in the South, conditions are too sandy. Each day justifies the holding of the money and watch developments. Nothing to be done now to invite the respect of the South, we have given all we had. Let us move. S. O. S. CALL! To our maly subscribers: We know you are honest and want to pay us. We need the money.

Dr. Hughes, himself of Negro blootl, has made a wide study of the contli- tlons and reasons causing the south- ern Negroes to migraie to the citles and fnetories of the North, “Rehind the industrious, hanl-work- tng Negro man in this present migra- tion is the Negro wife und mother,” #038 Dr. Hughes. “The constant dread that o son or a husband will ‘say too much’ fs the thing that Is wearin gthreadbare the nerves of the Negro woman of the South, Added to thie is the lack of opportunity for her chitd, and she fs the driving pow- er of the present movement from the South.” , Illinois seems to be the favored lo- cahty, according to Dr. Hughes. “More than 1000,000 Negroes have left 11,000 farms in Georgia alune,” he declares. “A late survey of Negro congregations tn rural communities of the Atlanta conference substunti- ates the estimate that 2,600 Negroes have left Ilkes County alone. W. W. Long of Clemson College, hax found that 60,000 Negroes had left foity-one counties. The delta regions In Missis- sippl lost 12,000 workmen in the first six months of 1923.” Dr. Hughes has found many cases of teamwork on the part of Impover- ished Negroes who wanted to go North. By pooling their resourcen a number send one or two of their group North and these in turn rend most of their waxes back to bili up the re mainder.

Brown, comdetalled to objee the precat movement of migratory Negro labor, that 478,700 or nearly half a million Negro migrants forsook their abodes and occupations in thirteen southern states during the year September 1, 1922, to August 31, 1923, according to conclusions made from a series of total figures submitted by State, municipal and civic statisticians and authorities to those states. The round number estimate is believed to be a fairly accurate summary of similar estimates carefully compiled for Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. An analysis of the 478,700 total reveals the fact that of Negro migrants for the year noted, Alabama yielded 90,000; Arkansas 5,000; Florida 90,000; Georgia 120,600; Kentucky, 2,500; Louisiana, 15,000; Mississippi, 42,000; North Carolina, 25,000; Oklahoma, 1,000; South Carolina, 25,000; Tennessee, 10,000; Texas, 2,000; and Virginia, 100,000. From the above, it will be noted that Georgia yielded the largest and Oklahoma the smallest. In commenting upon the migratory act of Negro migrants. Mr. Bank became one of the best known men of the race following his founding in 1903 the Bank of Mound Bayou, capitalized at $100,000, and in 1907, his organizing of the Mound Bayou Oil Mill, another $100,000 corporation. He founded also the Mound Bayou Land and Investment Co., with $50,000 capital, and he was a director of the Union Guaranty Co. of Jackson, Miss, and of the Mississippi Benficiel Insurance Co., of Indianola. In 1901 Mr. Banks was elected a vice-president of the National Negro Business League, which position he held until his death. In 1893 he married Miss Thenma O. Boore, of Natchiez, Miss, a sister to Iainah Montgomery's son-in-law, Albert Booze, but their married life was not happy and they had bee useparated for some time. Cutting loose from Mound Bayou, Mr. Banks located in Meniphis, where where he has been successfully conducting a burial association. He was prominent in fraternal and church circles, and served as grand treasurer of the Masonic Grand Lodge. He was active in the A. M. E. church and attended several general conferences as a lay delegate. He was, at one time, a power in Mississippi affairs.—N. Y. Age. Visit KRESGE'S STORE . Wholesome CANDIES KRESGE'S 5, 10 and 25c.

STEPHENS PHONE FAIRFAX 102 FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT From hardships to happiness as the days roll by, The toll to endure makes a many one sigh. When the cold winds are blowing and hard times draw near, And our hearts grow weak from the sting of fear, We all should brace up and bear our burdens through, For God in Heaven will help us to stand. Strive on dear ones, strive on to your journey's end; For some day a fortune to you our Father will send; Then as we grow older in life, and in comfort, We will think back to the days gone by and in our hearts will rejoice. So strive on dear ones, strive on to you hard days end, For God in Heaven a kindly hand will lend. When the days get warm, the leaves and trees turn green, We feel that we are in a ford of pleasure and comfort; The tippling of the little streams in the wood, The chirping of the birds among the trees, Then even the son seemed glad as it beamed down on us, And we feel like we never had a grief in all our life. For God in Heaven changes darkness to light. CHERQKEE, KANSAS Rev. and Mrs. J. S. King, Mrs. Clara Daniels, Mrs. Bessie Raicliff, Miss Tessie Wehaton and Bertha Roberson attended the State Board which convened in Coffeyville, Kans.
