How this Congratulation will in arms I excited about these you have sold, who, if $0.000 a month, had good treatment, town wives and parents were sold off and several States have given them bonuses and several more so. We do not believe in extravagance and we believe in doing what is best by those who defended the good name of the tax eminent. If the World War veterans are bashing their patriotism on money, then they are very poor citizens. The Spanish war veterans volunteered and went in to do the job. They did not ask for any bonus, neither have the been given money, but most all of those who incurred any sickness or disease, or became in captalled, are not drawing pensions. We do not drink the Senator and Congress men should use the tax payers' money to invest their interest for re-election to Congress, as we believe at a large majority of those in Congress do not believe this bond will pass this time but taxes should be reduced, but in order to be elected we would, once cases upon the people that would cause their property to be captured and then come poverty-struck not all the States, we have passed the bonds law, help their own boys before asking the Government. We further believe that this bonus proposition is a waste of money—not doing the real good it was intended to do the veterans of the World War. From close observation of the 25 millions already paid out in Kansas, we would say that 75 per cent of the amount has bee. "Strain away in gambling, drinking, buying automobiles and other luxuries which are of no benefit to the veterans of their friends. So it is better to wait until the veterans have grown to real manhood and can realize the value of their duty. They are more like children, wasting money when they should be in the hands of the taxation who could use it to a better settlement." We shall ask the Representatives of the First District to send us as a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1921. Our platform shall be against paying at bonus to strong and healthy veterans at this time, and the enforcement of the 11th, 15th, and 18th Amendments to the Constitution, and the release of the soldiers of the 21th Infantry now in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, for defending their lives and the honors of their women in the Houston (Texas) riot in 1917. The group with which we are identified believes it is time we are being recognized by the Republican Party with which we have been identified for years, but never have been recognized by the stronger portion of the party. Surely the Colorado people could have a few empathy honors if no paying position. We want our Republican friends to take notice and govern themselves, accordingly. Always remember, there are breakers ahead. 3. Beddoler 1651 Western Ave State Historical Society Newspaper Section To the Kansas Baptists Dearl. Beloved: Alittle more than two months ago our brother and Missionary of 27 years, dev. J. H. Vanleu, passed from labor to rewain whom attendance at the National Baptist Convention assembled in annual session at Los Angeles, Cal. Words cannot ascribe the good service and helpful inspiration of Christ and His Kingdom that was rendered Kansas Baptists and the Western world in the many years of labor and sacrifice through suppression, need and suffering. To the vision of the sanctified Van Leu we one much of the advance work of the State and the determination for Baptist perpetuity. There are few States in the National Baptist convention that have a Missionary pastor program so well laid and worked out as the State of Kansas. It is the future life of the Baptist in generations to come. Thus this program, pastors are able to work on small fields with a Christian contentment and satisfaction. Again, to Dr. J. H. Vunleu, we owe the establishment of the summer school held each year at Topeka, where the ministers of the State and even those of other states are privileged to come and study together under competent and experienced teachers, the world of God and the problems of pastoral life. This institution is a long felt need and opens an laborers in God's vineyard. Last, but by no means least, the founding and establishing of Central Baptist Theological Seminary at Topeka is the vision of our sainted Van Leu, who now watches the movement of the Baptist family from his tower on high. We pray that this institution will ever be a memorial to the services, sacrifices and suffering of J. H. VanLeu. We thank God for the life and service of such a minister. To us he is alive because in whatever direction we look and whatever the object we behold we see Dr. J. H. VanLeu, State missionary of Kansas 21 years. It was providence that made vacant the office of the State Missionary of Kansas Baptist Convention, placing the responsibility upon the messengers in attendance at the annual meeting to select a successor to the NICK CHILES. Editor. Icte Dr. J. H. VanLeu. To our observation, never before all a religious assembly go about its task be righteously and reverently to select a missionary for the Kansas Baptist. Since our Convention in selection of its State Missionary or executive secretary as the office will be designated in the future, was absolutely free from an atmosphere that surrounds and controls political convention, we all can but truthfully feel that the holy Ghost was with the Baptist in the emplacement of the office. So Brethren, let us march on. Put over the program of the missionary pastors, Summer School, and the Central Baptist Theological School to the memory of Rev. J. H. Vanleya and to the giors of God. The task that is for now is the $10,000 Budget for the State work. While this is a small amount for the number of baptists it is greater than we have yet been able to realize. So this year let us put the job over, or as Rev. Gen McNeal says, "Report to God the way why." The Budget for this year is pro- priated to the District as follows: New Valley, $3,000; Southeastern, $2,000; Southwestern, $1,500; North- western, $1,500; Smoky Hill, $1,000; Neosho Valley, $1,000. Ere this assessment requires you, the first quarterly Board meeting of most all districts will be history. Those which we have met have responded readily to the new program. We pray that all will do likewise. The amount of Budget for each district for first is: Kaw Valley, $750; Southeastern, $500; Southeastern, $375; Northwestern, $375; Smoky Hill, $250; Neosho Valley, $250. Now, brethren, if you fall short of your quarterly demands, don't leave your board meeting without devising plans to have the money collected and sent to the executive secretary before the next board meeting. Remember there will be no January State Board meeting this year. Your money will have to be sent directly to your secretary and to this office. If sent here two receipts will be sent. One to you and one to your secretary. This condition affects the women's convention, Sunday school, B. Y, P. U., and all source collectible money for the work during the year. This is a new day with new demands to meet the problems of the THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN BEN, F. JESSI PFCK, Preside t Western University, one of the leading mini-tests of the A M L.

PRICE FIVE CENTS, $1.50 PER YEAR A Respective Board of the State Bp Convention made a feeble treat in place Dr. Perkins, with their favour, Dr. Parkins are time has Masonry work up and colored by the source that does the paying. The public at large is horrified by such christian theistic and will not stand for it. Victious politics should not be permitted to enter the proceedings of our Christianity. This board has invited a long and nasty fight. It is predicted that the funds will be held up until this matter is settled to the satis- faction of the general board. There should be an interdenominational congress, composed of the best brain of all the Negro denominations. This body should set until a program could be properly effected and given to the various denominations of the country. In this way there would be perfected one great denomination for the American Negro. The present system is too extravagant, weak, and is used to keep the Negro separated in many groups. The membership of the various creeds should look to that end. It is not expected that the ministry would approve of anything that would take from his a job. It is to his advantage to keep the Negro for the sake of Christianity and racial unity we should do this. There is no denomination that has a copyright on heaven, after all; it is the life of the individuals that counts for Christianity and not his denomination. The first thing is to be a Christian; it does not matter which way Paul went, or how stubborn Barmabas became, neither does it matter how long John stayed on Patmus. What we need to know is that Christ, our redeemer, God our Father, and man our brother. If we could get our women as active in opposing the Jim Crow laws, the disfranchisement, the Lynching, and the general abuses the Negro receives as they in soliciting for the church and the pastor's salary, we would get somewhere. We have practiced deceit, pretended satisfied under brutal treatment, ignored vicious laws, that were made against us, until we are about to be re-enslaved. We must organize to oppose every vicious law that is against us. We must not accept every thing and try to get comfort by singing "Jesus will pay it all." Faith without work is no more good than work without faith. Unless we remit some of the things that are being heaped upon us even those white friends who are inclined to assist us will become disgusted at our bovine submissiveness and grinning contentment. Millions of dollars are being invested to keep the Negro happy; great big conventions and conferences convocations and the like are part of the program. When an army of Negroes meet in their various church meetings they do not represent the welfare of the race, but the welfare of a given denomination. They are not interested about the conditions of the race only as it pertains to his Church, for that reason we do not get anything from the many church meetings. Had you thought of this? Well, just look but kand see what effect did any of their meetings have on your condition? Unless something is done and done quickly, the young Negro will quit the church and find his way to the moving picture show. They are real disgusted in investing millions of money in churches where only one man can get a job. Here in Mukogee, we have 49 churches in a radius of eight miles and not an orphan home, hospital, day nursery, or club room. Is not this a vicious system? Is not it a shame to pass My Heart Indites A Good Matter The investigation over at Oklahoma City seems to have struck a at the real issue behind all this has not yet come to the front. Democrats are rated of a fair on law, to get rid of Walton have then cause latter in the fur the think. No Negro can give at to this outrage.

Holley, principal Washington school, Mr. C. A. Whitney, prominent real estate man, Mr. Baker and Mr. Blackwell, both postal employees, Mr. Clay O'Dall, postal employee; Mr. Abbott, brother of our own Harry Abbott of Oklamgee, and a host of others too numerous to be mentioned. The city is noted for its hospitality and even though I have made it my home for two years and visit there on an average of once a month, each visit new friends are made and old friends leave no stone unturned to make it pleasant for me. It was my pleasure to worship, Sunday at St. John and listen to a wonderful sermon forcefully delivered by Dr. Ransom. He appealed to his hearts to have faith in their own. Lieut. Boliver Watkins, an overseas hero, of St. Louis, who married into one of the oldest and most respected families of Topeka—the Ellis family—is making his home in Topeka and holds a prominent position in the clinical department of the post office. The Lieut. is well educated, a seasonal politician of the new school—tipe with experience, and has traveled widely. He is one of the most interesting men of our group in Topeka and is destined to do large things there. Topeka offers many advantages as a home town. Property can be bought on easy terms. Schools are well managed and offer many diversified courses. Colleges are open to all, regardless of color. The citizenship is on a high order, an all cost of living lower than is found in most cities. There are excellent opportunities for all kinds of business enterprises and especially real estate, drug store, cafe, barber shops, grocery stores. However one expecting to enter business there should have ample capital to open a first class place and to tide him over a period of three to six months. NORTH 10PEKA By Emther Johnson Mrs. Idu M.

His many friends are glad to kno wthis as he is doing much to make Western University one of the foremost schools of this country. He raised several thousand dollars for educational purposes during the annual conference in Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri. Prof. Peck has but few equals and no superiors along this line of work. He has proven this conclusively to the entire satisfaction of the State Board of Administration, as well as the leading educators and friends who are interested in industrial education. We hope he will take good care of himself and not tax his brain and energy too much, until he is out of danger. --- As we go to press we lear not the death of Mr. John Ferguson, who was a prosperous merchant of Topeka for a number of years. He was also a musician and a member of Jackson Band for a number of years. He leaves two sons and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Mr. Ferguson was born in Tennessee and was a very industrious man. Some years ago he moved to Chicago. The funeral will be held from Stonestreets and burial at Topeka Cemetery. Jackson's Band, of which he was a member, will pay respects to his memory. As we go to press we learn of the death of Mrs. Mary Jane Davis, of Kansas City, Mo., one of the finest characters of the West. She leaves a sister, brother and a host of friends to mourn their loss. We are sorry to announce the death of Mr. A. P. Roundtree, who died at the home of Mrs. Bertie Cazell, on Woodland Street, Kansas City, Mo., last Wednesday, from blood poison. He was brought to the hospital at Rosedale where he received the best of treatments and attention of the physicians, but nothing seemed to have any effect. He attended the high school of Topeka and was one of the first rural carriers in Shawnee county when that system was first established. He was active, industrious, enterprising. He left Topeka some 16 years ago and was located at Lexington, Mo., where he was weighmaster for the coal mines. He transferred to the Kansas Southern Mines around Pittsburg and Girard district. He was very popular with the Union and was their delegate to important meetings in the district. His funeral was held at the home of his brother, Prof. Fred Roundtree, on Van Buren street.

Hawkins came this far to visit one of his lady friends in Topeka and returned to Ft. Scott in the afternoon. Mrs. John Odell, of Detroit, Mich., is the guest of her sister, Mrs. B. T. Alexander. She is looking well and her many friends are glad to see her here. She likes Detroit and says the colored people are doin gnicely. Her daughter, Miss Annabel, is teaching in th emixed schools. We are sorry to learn of the sickness of Mrs. D. L. Stewart, wife of Dr. D. L. Stewart, of Atchison. Her many friends hope for her a speedy recovery. --- Mrs. Carrie Kerford, who was injured by the Missouri Pacific train running into a n'Atchison street car a few weeks ago, is able to resume her position in the schools. She was seriously injured and probably permanently, but her friends will be glad to know she is out. The engine threw the car from 15 to 20 feet and there were nine passengers but none was killed. Mrs. Kerford is one of Atchison's popular teachers. WHO'S WHO IN ATCHISON IN BUSINESS? We visited the George W. Kerford Stone Quarry, just south of the city limits of Atchison. We must say this is one of the greatest concerns we ever visited of its kind, operated by any one. These three brothers, George, Roy and Clarence, are to be complimented for taking up the work their father left. He left them a small concern employing just four or five men. Now these young men have enlarged the quarry and moved it a couple of miles from the old place, put in a new $35,000 plant where they have employed 25 or 30 men. They are shipping stone and crushed rock for miles around and furnishing the same for county roads. These young men are fine and are some of the "Who's Who in Atchison. We are glad to announce to our readers that Rev. J. M. Brown is now located at 290 Kensington Place, Pasadena, Cal. He is pastoring the 1st A. M. E. church of that place. He is very popular pastor in the city and the people speak well of him. This is one of the garden spots of the world. He has a fine congregation and everybody respects him. His many friends hope for him continued success. Mr. Jesse Presley and Mrs. Agnes Charles received notice of the death of their brother, Mr. Wm. Hallum, at Seattle, Wash. The Dorcas Art and Literary Club of Calvary Baptist church met at the home of Mrs. Robert Jones, 220 Oak street on Wednesday.

The hostess served a dainty two-course luncheon. Members present were Memlames Bolton, Charles, Clay, Dandridge, Ellison, Jenkins, Jones, Moody, Morgan, Officer, Patton, Taylor, Thompson and Wilkerson. We are proud to announce that a few colored men in Atchison have gotten together and organized the "Sure Stitch Mfg. Co." where they are manufacturing lady garments and other wearing apparel. They are working four your gladies. Miss Lula Colbert is manager, Dr. Patton is president, Prof. Gray, treasurer, Mr. Ed. Winroe, secretary, Mr. Wilkes Covington, one oft he directors and managers. We are glad to see our colored people get together and establish business where they can employ our men and women. We inspected some of the garments manufactured by this firm and saw the young ladies at work and must say the goods are fine and first class and will find a ready market. Mr. Orin Page, the 15 year old son of Mr. Emmett Page, of Eskridge, stopped over in Topeka last Sunday as the guest of his uncle, Mr. John Page. He was selected by the high school of Eskridge to attend the journalistic meeting at K. U. last week. He was called upon to make a few remarks at St. John A. M. E. church last Sunday and felt it was an honor for a colored man to be selected out of a majority of white students to represent them in this journalistic meeting. He said he hoped this would be an inspiration to others who might gain much by working hard and looking forward to Better things. Young Page is very intelligent and we predict great things for him. --- We visited Miss Lena Thompson, one of our subscribers at 329 Taylor St. Miss Thompson conducts a fine cake shop, where she bakes for all the aristocratic weddings and parties. She ships cakes all over the country, to New York and other cities. She is also a fine cateress, but does not apply herself to that portion of the trade now, as her time is taken up in the making of fine cakes. Miss Thompson is a fine business woman and has lived in Topeka for a number of years. She is a fine, comely maid, never been married, intelligent lady. --- Rev. A. W. Ross, of Coffeyville, State Missionary, who succeeded the late Rev. Van Leu, was in Topeka this week on business. He is a young man full of push and energy and the Baptists made no mistake in appointing him to this position. He is now trying to raise $20,000 this year for the Baptist cause. We hope him success and the Baptists and everybody else will rally to his support. We hope the colored pjeSHRDLU We hope the colored employees of the Santa Fe shops will get down to business, stick to their work, draw their pay, invest in real estate, bonds and other securities, whereby the race will be benefited. There are too many young men drawing pay and laying off one or two days after pay day. This is too much money to be throwing away. They have a great opportunity to make good and they should do so, or get out and let some other good colored men come in and take their places. Mrs. C. Mosa entertained about 24 ladies at cards Wednesday afternoon at her home on Washington St. The affair was complimentary to Mrs. John Odell of Detroit, Mich.

Water Street LEAVENWORTH CITIZEN SPEAKS My Dear Mr. Chiles: I had occasion to visit your most beautiful city on October 28th, and while there I visited the State Industrial school for boys in North Topeka. I thought the grounds and cottages were very nice but alas I visited the the place where the colored boys are kept. And to the edilgrace of the good name of our great State and an insult to the colored tax payers of the State, I found the stairway leading up into the building was in a delapidated condition and unsafe for use. The wash room is in an unsanitary condition; one of the toilets is unfit to be in the building. In the washroom I found water pipes bursted and hot-and cold water running over the floor and it looked astonishing. It had been running for months. Now this condition of affairs should not be, for a little plumbing work would put a stop to this. I wish you would investigate this matter personally and see for yourself. W. B.

On the 9th of November the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity of Washburn College gave its annual formal party thus setting a while the social season. The hall was beautifully and novelly decorated and the color scheme of crimson and cream was carried out. The ladies showed symmetry of form and artistic taste in their Parisian gowns, while the men wore their evening clothes with that ease and dignity that is natural to Kappa men. The party led by some of the young members set the old hall a trembling with the Frat songs and yells. Truly the Kappa lead. There will doubtless be many other formal this year but none like Kappa Alpha Psi. WEIR The sudden death of Mrs. Hannah Atkins Friday November 2nd, at her home on West Sycamore St., to every one.

Perkins FACTS WORTH KNOWING Scarcity of Colored Stenographers In the United States Of the 35,442 colored persons who follow the profession of teaching public schools in the United States, 29,189 are women, and 94 of these women have reached the age of 60 years and over. It is surprising to note the scarcity of colored stenographers in the Urit ed States. There are only 10 of those, of which 1970 are women. Of the bookkeepers it is that 2,241 col- oral, with 1,661 females. Perhaps that last driver of the taxi you used was too reckless and careless. Call a woman that driver! You know there are the females among the 35,771 colored people that kind of work in the country. Or if you are educated and special proficiencies for women, you can have colored females build your new house, with the tree, the plumblor and the tree. In the United States all men who are drivers.

In recou- ion of these great gifts, my heart is filled with thankfulness. ANTIQUITY OF WOMEN We can not believe that the conclusion of that New York scientist, that "the ape man of Java" was, in truth, a woman and not a man, will meet with the approval of womankind. To grant to women such antiquity is by no means kind. It is our firm conviction that women will prefer to continue their acceptance of the story of the creation, as set forth in Genesis, even granting the rib part of the story rather than concede much to woman's age as does the distinguished New York monkeyologist. IF LOVE SHOULD COME If love should come some glorious more And and that I had locked my door And taken all the sacred things For which her heart so long had yearned, Would she come back again at noon? And then at noon she passed away What could I answer in reply To her sweet soul and tender voice if love should come? If she should find the sun et pate Burrow, molted, guarded by the cross Of flaming gold that kept her out Of heart and home, how could all meet The pleading look of her old eye if love should come! -William H. Boylan. When looking for a dessert in the fanny toast bakes pie, try: Nut, Dream Prune Pie. - Put through a slice one cupful of stewed prunes, add cupful of rich milk, one table spoonful of flour, a third of a cupful of it, the yolk of two eggs, well beaten, and the whites heated stuff and side adjust at the last. Sprinkle a cupful of chopped black walnut meats over the top and bake as a meal. Use a pastry-lined plate and bake at first in a hot oven, then lower the heat to bake the custard. Masked Potatoes With Peanut Butter. Boil, mash and beat until light, sl medium-sized potatoes; add salt, one table-spoonful of butter and one-half cupful of hot milk. Heap in a hot dish. Blend one and one-half table- spoonful of peanut butter with one table-spoonful of butter, add a few da res of red pepper and dot the hot pot ato with bits of the butter. Hanked Fish—Split the fish, wipe with a damp cloth and lay skin-side down on the well heated plank, which has been rubbed with sweet fat. Sprinkle the fish with sea urns and dot with bits of butter if it is a fish lacking fat. Place in the oven under the broiler flame for fifteen minutes. Meanwhile have potatoes boiled, need and seasoned, and add milk to moisten; add an egg yolk, mix well and fold in a beaten white. Arrange the mashed potato around the fish in mounds, or force through a pastry tube. Brown quickly under the broiler flame. Garnish the fish with slices of cucumber which have been marinated in French dressing, and small tomatoes cut into the form of a lily. Place whorls of mayonnaise in the center of each tomato. Cabbage Salad—Chop cabbage, add a cupful of chopped celery to three cupfuls of cabbage, and three diced banana. Season well and cover with any desired well-seasoned dressing. Serve in a cabbage bowl made by scooping out the cabbage from a good farm head. Garnish with fringed celery and some of the thick mayonnaise. 4. To Remove Parasite.

Always keep your tea and coffee in covered continents. Otherwise they lose their strength. Always stir a newly opened bottle of milk if you would mix the cream through it.
