Booker, pastor of the Pleasant Green Baptist church, Independence and Tracy avenues, is doing a great work and should receive a hearty support of the people of the city. His services are interesting; they are opened and closed promptly, perhaps more than any other Negro church in the city. KANSAS CITY, MO.. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 1907. Negro Constitutional Leagues' Call to Prayer and Protest Against Race. Negro Constitutional Leagues' Call to Prayer and Protest Against Race. Antipathies and Proscriptions on Lovejoy Day, Nov. 7, 1907. M. H. H. BISHOP GRANT To the Negroes of Missouri and of the country together with all the patriots of the Republic without regard to race. Greetings: The system of segregation which is in vogue in a great section of our land, is un-Christian and un-American; it subjects our wives and daughters to all sorts of indignities and embarrassments; it fills most Negroes with a bitter resentment or with moral cowardice, and a few with a righteous indignation; while most of the whites become arrogant and hostile and a few feel a sort of pity. To the hundreds of thousands of strangers of all race stocks coming to our shores annually the Negro race by this prescription is exposed to insult and contempt. Coupled with this spirit which is spreading over the country with all that it implies with racial antipathy and economic hindrance there is a tendency towards federalizing this sentiment of dissemination against colored Americans, as is seen in the recent decision of the Inter-State Rail Road Commission approving Jim Crowism with equal facilities, which is a long stride towards nationalizing this corrupt institution. Proscription in the Postal Service. Proscription in the Postal Service. This prejudice of race has appeared in a most hateful form in a resolution adopted at Kansas City, Mo., last August by the Seventh Division of the Railway Mail Clerks; the resolution was wholly false. They charged their fellow Negro clerks with inefficiency and shiftlessness and recommended that they be barred from the service or segregated in their work. There seems to be a general movement on foot to reduce and eliminate from the Postal Service the Negro clerks in spite of merit as is evident in the St. Louis Postmaster's wholesale arbitrary rejection of colored applicants who have made high average in civil service examination. It is universally conceded that as a rule the colored mail clerks and carriers have no superiors, coming as most of them do from the best schools and homes of the race; for the Postal Service is the only creditable open-door which the colored youth may enter by competitive examination. In seeking to restrain criminal shiftless elements, we must also guard and encourage the intelligent aspiring youth among us. Therefore it has been deemed timely and proper that there be appointed a Proscription Nationalized. day in the near future when the people of African descent in the state and nation shall gather for prayer and protest and to stimulate our people along the substantial lines of life, and inspire them with the courage and ideals of patriots. The approaching 7th of November, 1907 marks the seventieth anniversary of the martyrdom of Elijah P. Lovejoy in Alton, Ill. He was driven from the city of St. Louis to that city where he died in defense of human freedom. One month later Wendell Phillips in defending the honored name of his martyr in Fenanill Hah, Boston, made his malden speech as the champion of human rights. For this reason, Thursday, Nov. 7th, is a fitting time for Negroes every where in the republic to go to their knees and then rise and utter a many protest against all discriminations growing out of race prejudice. In character and appeal let us all contend for righteousness and brotherhood in the nation. It is urged that we on this day "Lovejoy Day," in Missouri and through the country assemble in our respective places of worship and in halls and school houses and bow in prayer that God would give power and effect to the gospel of human brotherhood in our land, that the application of the teachings of Jesus may heal all breeches between the races; and on that day by essays and addresses with appropriate exercises to study the noble unselfish life and labors of Lovejoy, the Christain patriot, and so to imbibe his devout free spirit and spread the principles for which he died through the nation in this period of National drift, and that as a race we utter a manly neighborly protest against the befouling segregation resting upon race rather than condition. American Proscription Fundamentally If first and second class travel is at all necessary, there should be first and second class fare, and then no distinctions according to race should obtain. Jim-Crowism and disfranchisement are twin sisters, which means for the separated ones impotency, bitterness and servility. Under such conditions equal facilities for travel is neither possible nor desirable, for "this system of segregation is fundamentally wrong; it rests upon a false theory of the human family and of democratic government." When ten millions of Why Lovejoy Day? American citizens are filled with a justified discontent, it become a serious question for the statesmen, a question which tests both the quality and sincerity of the patriotism and Christianity of the Republic. On Lovejoy Day, Nov. 7th, 1907, let Officers Campbell and Bailey were promoted to the rank of detectives because of an important capture last week. Frank Johnson, one POLICE PETE CAMPBELL of the most notorious house thieves, has been captured by these policemen. For a number of years after robbing twenty three houses and securing a great quantity of goods and women's wearing apparel, 9 watches, 3 diamonds, three dozen pieces of silver Rev. F. J. Peck has been returned to the Fifth Episcopal District in Kansas City. The Son is glad that our beloved pastor is here again. No man in all his greatness can be perfect, but the Son says that Rev. Peck, as PUNJAB a man and a preacher, has come nearer meeting the wants of the people more than any other man of the A. M. E. church who has been in the city. We know that we in dorse the sentiment of the people when we say that Rev. Peck in coming to the city is satisfactory to all concerned. We hope that during the general conference that he will get a higher position. ANOTHER EXPLANATION CON CERNING THE BEAUTY CONTEST. It has been rumored around that this contest is not being run in a fair manner. For sake of explanation of those in the contest we wish to say that anything could not be more fairer than this. We are even going to have voting that night and booths arranged for the occasion. The prizes will be awarded as announced and if your name isn't in please place it in at once and if you have any favorites, please send in their names. DR. PERRY IS OUT OF THE RACE. It is rumored that Dr. Perry has declared that he will discontinue being a candidate for Assistant City Physician. That because of the fight which had been planned to be made on black and white patriots come together on high ground for the good of each other and of our common country. ABRAHAM GRANT. President N. C. L. of Missouri. GEO. E. STEVENS, Secretary. ware, 3 pair nose glasses, 2 pair eye glasses, suitcase, grips, men's hats, several suits of men's clothing. He was trailed down and captured by M. B. J. W. BAILEY. Officers Campbell and Bailey. Since these men have been on the police force they have done much good. The Rising Son endorses their actions as city patrolmen and we believe they have the entire sentiment of the Negroes. ANOTHER MASON HONORED. Mr. A. Frank Neal, a prominent Mason of Kansas City, has just had conferred upon his the 33rd degree of that order. Uro Neal, for a long time has been a faithful worker in the institution—he has been promoted to the highest office in any department of the order. He was twice elected Master of Pritchard Lodge No. 42; twice elected Patentate of the A. A. O. N. of the Mystic Shriner, Allah Temple No. 6 has served the office of M. E. High Priest of Keystone Chapter No. 24 R. A. M. and now has had conferred upon him the highest honor that could be conferred upon any Mason—that of the 33rd degree. The 32nd degree is an honor conferred upon 32nd degree Masons who have done the order some great service. It can only be conferred when the Supreme Council is in session—it is in session now at Washington, D. C. J. FRANKLIN CRAIG. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The State Secretary of the Y M. C. A for the state of Missouri will address the association Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Lincoln High School, 19th and Tracy. This promises to be one of the best of the large meetings that have been held in the High School auditorium. Mr. J. H. Banks, whose headquarters are in St. Louis is a most interesting speaker. The Night School, which is now open continues to enroll new pupils. This is an opportunity that has been long sought for by many. While some are taking the very elementary studies; others are advancing in the business courses. Mr. Burroughs of New York will soon appear in the city in drama under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary. The Sunday afternoon meetings, which are held at 3:30 o'clock, are growing more popular every week. him, he got out of the race eaying he would not be mixed up in such dirty affairs. We are glad that he had enough manliness to keep clear of the dirty fight; it is also rumored that he did not care for the position from the start. REPORTER. Why all this comment about the Beauty Contest as to who is beautiful and who is not? You have a right to enter the Beauty Contest if you have anything at all on beauty. At the National Capital WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS GUARDED BY MAD BULLS WASHINGTON.—In the absence of President Roosevelt in the canebrake and with "Pete" the bull dog sequestered on SurgeonGeneral Rixey's farm, the white house grounds have not been left unguarded. A couple of bulls—not bull dogs, but real bovine bulls—have taken upon themselves the task, formerly so well discharged by "Pete" of seeing that the grounds are unprofaned by undesirable citizens, mollycoddles or milk-sops. Since the president and Pete went away newspaper men, mollycoddles and the criminal rich have roamed the white house grounds with impunity. Undesirable citizens have shown a tendency to stand on the walks and bark at the white house, and neither "Slippers," the six-toed cat, nor Quentin Roosevelt's snakes have proved equal to the task of preserving the roostie calm. How the two patriotic bulls discovered the state of things and decided that it was up to them to rectify it will never be known. It is a fact, however, that early the other morn- NO! T.R. WOMEN have changed the faces of empires, and why should not a woman have a strong voice in saying whether such and such a man should rule the republic of so and so? Capital gossips assert Theodore Roosevelt will keep his promise not to run again for the presidency, and in that retirement he will be fulfilling not merely his promise to the people but his pledge to his wife. Mrs. Roosevelt has informed exceedingly close friends that her husband and she long ago decided that, purely as a family affair, not a political one, they and theirs would leave the white house on March 4, 1909. It is said that Mrs. Roosevelt reluctantly consented to introduce her young daughter Ethel to Washington society, probably in Christmas week of 1908. Mrs. Roosevelt says the confidants. ACT OF "DRYS" MAY EMBARRASS ROOSEVELT IF congress at the coming session prohibits the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors in the District of Columbia, as now seems probable, President Roosevelt will be in an embarrassing position—the prohibitionists say "for the devil and the deep sea." For tactical reasons the prohibitionists will tack their bill to an appropriation measure so as to assure its passage. When such an appropriation bill comes before the president he will have to decide, first, whether he can afford to jeopardize the interests of the branch of the government for which the appropriation is proposed, by vetoing the whole bill in order to get rid of the "liquor devil" clause. If he decides he cannot afford to enterprise a veto he will have to decide whether he shall obey it and THE fascination of Washington as a place of residence especially to those who have tasted the delights of life, is once more illustrated by the announcement that Mrs. John E. Reyburn, wife of the recently elected mayor of Philadelphia, will continue her home at the national capital, notwithstanding her husband's position as the municipal chief of the city of Brotherly Love. Quite another type of woman seeking a residence in Washington as a relief from a less satisfying city is Mrs. Thomas F. Ryan, wife of New York's most financier, who last season bought and furnished the former residence of the late Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston with a view to passing her winters in Washington. Right in the heart of the smartest residence section with Representative and Mrs. Longworth as her immediate neighbors, Mrs. Ryan lives entirely apart from the social world, but thoroughly enjoying Washington, her new home and the society of her husband and children who come and go between New York and Virginia with happy encounters for distance or expense. ing they took up a position in front of the white house from which they could command both walks. The first trespasser to appear was an Afro-American named Charles Lancaster. It was still dark when he arrived, and the bull at the west corner let him get a little distance by before he made up his mind as to Lancaster's undesirability. Then he discharged a below and advanced on the enemy, head down and tail up. Lancaster moved eastward with some haste, and the bull did likewise. At the east corner the west bull's colleague came charging out with a few savage remarks. Lancaster emerged from the east gate about as conservatively as a shot departs from a gun, and the two bults fortunately got jammed in the doorway. The Afro-American never stopped till he got to the house of detention. Meanwhile the two bulls, finding the mollycoddle crop a little short, tired of the job and wandered to Iowa Circle, where they were later arrested by a policeman and locked up. PLEDGE TO WIFE KEEPS TEDDY FROM THIRD TERM is determined to shield Ethel from the publicity that came to Alice Roosevelt and she would prefer that the former girl wait until the family should be established in private life. Still she realizes what it is for a young girl to make her social bow in the white house, and for that reason she will grant to Ethel just three months as a social grown-up. Mrs. Roosevelt from the first hour of the president's incumbency has been solicitous about its effect on her children. Often she has pleaded with persons not to spoil the children and has exerted all her influence to keep all their doings out of print. It is likely Miss Roosevelt will spend the two years after she leaves Washington in traveling abroad and studying music and languages. She will not be 18 until the summer of 1909. furnish no wine to guests at the White House. There is no power on earth that can compel the president to observe any law. As all writes in the District of Columbia run in his name, it is obvious that he would not arrest himself for disregarding the law. That he had disregarded it would be notice to all peace officers that he decided not to enforce it against himself. All presidents of the United States have at times set wine before their guests. Until Theodore Roosevelt became president the White House had a wine cellar and a dark room in the attic set aside as a storeroom for liquors. He did away with them both. The cellar is now used for machinery and the dark room is a part of the quarters for the servants. WINTER LIFE AT CAPITAL ATTRACTIVE TO WOMEN Everybody or nearly everybody, socially speaking, called on Mrs. Ryan, of course, but few persons got beyond the white and yellow portal, which is guarded by a sphinxlike butler, who gently informs all comers his mistress is "not at home." Within a week each person leaving a card receives one in return, with the written message that Mrs. Ryan regrets she is unable to receive or make visits. No reason is assigned for the inability, nor are the regrets qualified by any polite adjective, but as Mrs. Ryan drives, travels in her special car without any apparent inconvenience, it is assumed the inability is not physical. Extremely charitable and a devout Roman Catholic, Mrs. Ryan devotes time and means to the propagation of that faith, especially in Virginia, her husband's native state. To the few who have been fortunate enough to make her acquaintance and win her friendship, Mrs. kyan is a gracious kindly woman of strong personality, interested in the affairs of the world so far as an intelligent appreciation of life goes, but far removed from its frivolities. THE FIELD The proceeds of this field of wheat, grown in western Canada, were sufficient to pay out of the one crop the price of every acre of land upon which it was grown. THE CANADIAN CROPS THREE QUARTERS OF THE AVER AGE YIELD IS REPORTED. THE FARMERS DO NOT LOSE Increased Prices for Grain More Than Compensates Them for the Decrease in Quantity—Reports from Crop Experts. Most of the states of the union felt the unusually severe winter of 1906-7, and the effects of the succeeding late spring were everywhere apparent. Corn was planted two and sometimes three times, the winter wheat suffered and generally there was a nervous feeling as the retarded growth was in evidence. From the Dakotas to Texas the feeling of dread existed, and the fears were entertained that the crop of corn, wheat, oats and barley would be a distinct failure. How far this was the case is best left to those who passed through the experience. Naturally the same conditions were prevalent throughout the province of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, in western Canada, and with from 250,000 to 300,000 farmers there from the United States a large degree of interest was manifest in almost every state of the union, for every state has some The proceeds of this field of who sufficient to pay out of the one crop the which it was grown. representative there. This interest was a nervous one and caused considerable indecision on the part of friends and others intending to follow. Those interested in injuring the country circulated stories of ruin and disaster, but the effect was lost, as it had been long enough in the limelight to prove its high standing amongst the agricultural sections of the continent. The heavy strain placed upon it was not too great; it has shown that the faith placed in it has been warranted, and it is this year producing undoubted evidence that in agricultural possibilities and resources it stands among the first of food producers. A late spring delayed seeding from the usual early April period until late in May, and in many cases well on into June. And with what result? It is a little early to tell the result, but that there will be a three-quarter crop is almost absolutely certain. The yield of wheat in 1905 was 95,000,000 bushels; 1907 it will be between 70,000,000 and 80,000. THE HOME OF THE MAYOR The above is the reproduction of a photograph of the home of a recent settler from Germany, who has been settled in Saskatchewan, western Canada, for two years. 000. It could not be expected that June-sown grain would mature and ripen in any country. The May sown ripened, and this is the feature that has proved western Canada's superiority as a grain-growing country. It demonstrates that the length of sunshine is so great that the growing and ripening season, although shorter in number of days than in parts farther south, in hours is as great or greater. A correspondent of the Toronto Globe, a most careful purveyor of news, writing from Winnepeg, Manitoba, says "Excellent progress in the process of converting the crop into marketable commodity has been made. The days have been fairly warm considering the season of the year and while the amount of sunshine the day is less than in an ordinary harvest the rainfall is considerable. The reports from far and near show that the aggregate yield for the whole grain-growing country is likely to be large, and there are those who assert that the quantity will be equal to about 75 per cent. of that secured last season. The quality will be the important consideration especially in view of the steadily rising markets. Cash wheat in Winnipeg closed yesterday at $1,114 per bushel, Fort William delivery. The cost of freight and handling for wheat strikes an average of 1 per bushel for the whole west. This means that the average price to the farmer for contract wheat all over the prairie country is exactly 1 per bushel. The farmers have been looking for the even dollar wheat would they have bought, but the wheat is still coming forward from the elevators and a little of last year's crop remains in the hands of the farmers. This nearly all grades up to the contract, and it means a great gain for those who held it. The new wheat is still grading very high, when one considers the conditions under which it was produced. Out of 45 cars, 229 wheat containers, 45 would answer for contracts on contracts. In other words over 300,000 bushels of wheat which would bring the farmers an average of about 1 per bushel, reached Winnipeg in two days. The significance of $300,000 worth of wheat being passed by the inspectors in two days at the close or an admittedly unfavorable season not be allowed to stay sight at all. The wheat activity from agricultural activity in the west are being anxiously awaited. These figures do not take account of the lower grades, of which there were 131 cars. More than one-third of these contained milling wheat, which would remunerate the farmer at the rate of 93c per bushel on the basis of to-day's closing figures. The balance of these of low grade stuff which would be greater than 93c would show great "sureups" in prices. "The approximate value of the two days' receipts of wheat, however, would be more than $400,000 calculating the capacity of a car at 1,000 bushels and eliminating the cost of freight and handling, more than 1,000 bushels and as the freight rate to Fort William is less than 15 per cwt. on most of the wheat which is now coming forward, the estimate of $400,000 is low. The circulation of $200,000 is a fair figure for continued for the whole course, but that figure is likely to be exceeded heat, grown in western Canada, were the price of every acre of land upon before the present rush of wheat to the market abates. The conversion of the crop into money may be said to be proceeding in a most satisfactory way and there is no doubt that millions of dollars will be spent on pockets of the farmers by the time navigation the lakes closes. Even then only a small proportion of the wheat will have come out. Experience has shown that the railways do not carry very much of the wheat to the Lake Superior ports before the frost arrives, and the proportion will probably be smaller than usual this year on account of the lateness of the thrashing season. "It is true the season has not been so favorable as other seasons but this condition is widespread. The corn crop in the states of the union, where it is the premier crop of the farmers is subject to frost. Frost has undoubtedly materially reduced the total yield in places this year, but after every allowance has been made for this and other causes the conditions that the total grain in Alberta will be the largest in history, while in the other provinces the yield will not fall far short of other years. "The following extract from the Edmonton Bulletin fairly describes the situation in Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan: "Cutting is practically completed, stacking is in progress in some places, threshing will commence at once. A few late fields which were sown for green feed are being cut this week. The grain is all in stock and everywhere the glow of autumn mingles with the glow of harvest. A great number of the oat fields show the typical yellow of well ripened grain. The majority of fields are under full development and perfect ripening. Some late oats will be fed in the straw which is held by good cattle feeders to be the best way to feed oats. In no year in the history of the spring wheat industry has there been a better growth and condition of plant and if the crop of 1997 had been favored with more propitious condition during September all previous records of wheat production in this country would have been eclipsed. On the farm known as the Macbod farm, 44 miles northeast of the city of Fort Saskatchewan trail, samples of Red Fyfe were taken that were uniformly plump and hard and of excellent color. This field should run 25 bushels to the acre. --- Rate Book Done Soon. The copy of the new maximum freight rates prepared by the board of railroad commissioners has been sent to the printer and will be ready for distribution in a short time. The rate book will be a bulky affair, as rates will be fixed on every article handled as freight by the Kansas railroads, and rates will be prepared for every distance in "blankets" of five miles, the railroads being permitted to charge the rates according to five-mile distances. They All Come Back. J. Tyro and Alfred Brinklow, two men who have lived in Sedgwick county more than 20 years, sold out last May and returned to their former homes in England, expecting to spend the remainder of their lives there. They changed their minds after they got back across the water and concluded that Kansas was the best place on earth, so they returned to Wichita determined to buy some land again. An Advertising Train. Syl Dixon, who is going to take a trainload of Kansas flour to the Jamestown exposition and New York, has completed the roster for his train. It will have 38 cars of Kansas flour, each car decorated, and in addition there will be two and possibly three cars with exhifts of Kansas products and a sleeper for the real estate men who will accompany the train. The train will leave Topeka November 10. A Plan to "Get Action." The Topeka Retail Grocers' association is considering a novel plan to "get action" on the delinquent debtors of the association. It is proposed that a list containing the names of all persons owing long standing grocery bills to members be compiled and that this list be published in the newspapers. The list will be published in the form of an advertisement, advertising the accounts for sale. Leavenworth Mine to Reopen The Brighton coal mine, five miles southwest of Leavenworth, which is now controlled by Kansas City capital, is to be put in operation after having been closed down 16 years. The greatest obstacle to operation heretofore has been the lack of railroad facilities. Negotiations for the right of way for a track connecting with the Santa Fe railroad will be completed in a few days. Big Crowd at Hog Sale. Hog fanciers from every state in the Middle West were at Valley Center to attend the sale of pedigree Poland Chinas at Wrightwood, A. P. Wright's model hog farm, two and a half miles south of town. The sale was held in an elegant new octagonal pavilion which has seating capacity for several hundred buyers. Forty-four hogs were sold for a total of $5,469. The Incentive Gone: From county after county, says Governor Riddle, the word comes that the Elks and the Eagles, and the Owls, and all of the other beasts and fowls must quit the dispensing of liquid refreshments. If this settles down into frigid fact we might all just as well quit the study of natural history and content ourselves with being plain, ordinary, every day citizens. Good Advice. "Keep your money in the bank and your shirt on your back," is the Ottawa Herald's advice in the present little financial flurry. A Mean Fling. Envious papers in the neighboring towns refer to Circleville as "Ring-town." Corn Contest in Eric A two-day session of the Neoosh County Farmers' association was recently held in Erie. There was not a large attendance on account of the rainy weather. A general farmers' corn contest was held in connection with the institute and much interest was taken in a special corn contest for boys. Trusted In False Friend. Brooding over the loss of $10,000 which she had entrusted to Sylvester Harrison to invest in Wichita property, Mrs. Katie Cathors has been taken to the Lenox sanitarium in that city delicious. Her condition is serious and she constantly chatters about the loss of her fortune. Harrison, who recently disappeared, has not been located. A Local Item. A Sixth district paper printed an item about the empress dowager of China under the head of "Additional Local." New Head for Highland University. Rev. L. E. McNair, of St. Joseph. Mo., has been elected chancellor of the Presbyterian college at Highland. A Disquieting Rumor. There is a disquieting rumor abroad, says the Wichita Eagle, to the effect that the state university's school of journalism is putting out graduates who can't tell a three-em dash from a caduey. Big Sheep Ranch Near McPherson. THE CITIES OF REFUGE Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 3, 1907 Specially Prepared for This Paper LESSON TEXT.-Joshua 20:1-9. Memory verses 2, 3. GOI,DEN TEXT.-"My refuge is in God."-Penlma 62-7. TIME.-The latter part of Joshua's life. It is uncertain how long he lived. Josephus says that his administration lasted 25 years. PLACE.-The administration capital seems to have been transferred from the military headquarters at Gigal to the religious center at Shiloh, at town ten miles north northeast of Bethel. (Josh. 18:1; 19:51; 21:2.) Comment and Suggestive Thought. Comment and Suggestive Thought. In order to understand the ordinances concerning the Cities of Refuge which are referred to in four of the first six books of the Bible, it is necessary to realize two great facts. First. That there are some crimes that must be removed if a nation would exist and prosper. Such are treason, which strikes at the life of the nation, and murder, which strikes at the existence of the family as well as the individual. Breaking the sixth commandment wrongs not merely the individual. It is a threefold crime: 1. Against the individual. It takes away his most precious possession; everything so far as this world is concerned. 2. Against the family and the nation, for it takes away a member, often the support, of the family, and one of the essential members and defenders of the nation. 3. Against God, the giver of life. 3. Against God, the giver of life. Hence the severest punishment possible is meted out to whoever perpetrates this crime, and ought to be, in order to prevent as many as possible from committing the crime. No other punishment is adequate. We pity the murderer for his suffering. We ought to have still more pity for the innocent victims. Murder would be almost entirely exploded from the list of crimes if every wilful murderer was immediately punished. Second. In the early days when nations were small and weak, when there were multitudes of small semi-independent tribes, there was no general government to enforce the law and exact justice when the men of one tribe committed a crime against another. Hence there grew up the custom of blood revenge, according to which the tribes, or the relatives of the murdered person, were compelled themselves to punish the murderer, who was naturally, in most cases, the member of another tribe. There was no one else to do it. It was very much like lynch law, where the people feel the need of punishment for safety's sake, and fear the delays of the usual processes of criminal law. "With the advance of civilization and the gradual evolution of the state, the duty of safeguarding the rights of the community passes to the state." The Cities of Refuge and Their Courts. Vs. 1-9. There was a scheme for overcoming the dangers of blood revenge, and dealing out exact and merciful justice to all, and saving the innocent, or partially innocent, from indiscriminate injustice. First. A Just Discrimination —Vs. 1-3. V. 2. "Appoint out for you, R. V., "Assign you the" "cities of refuge," the law for which had been given, through Moses, but which could not be selected till the Israelites had set down in their new home. See Num. 35: 9-34; Deut. 19:1-3, where may be found a more detailed account. Second. The Right of Asylum.—Vs. 4, 7, 8. The necessity for some inviolable place of refuge has been recognized in the lawless ages of the past. These refuges have usually been religious places, as groves, altars, and temples. These have been the safest, because to attack them was to defy the gods to whom they were dedicated, and to array against the invaders the unseen forces supposed to be at their command. Third. The Preliminary, or Grand Jury Trial. V. 4. "Shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city," i.e. not outside of the gate of the city, but in the forum, or public square, which was near the city gates, and used as a place for public meetings and trials (comp. Ruth 4:1, 2). Fourth. The Right to a Regular Trial before a Competent Court. -Vs. 5, 6, 9. 5. If the avenger of the blood pursue after him, as it was his duty to do if he believed the man to be a murderer, they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand, because on the face of it he smote his neighbor unwittingly, and should have a fair trial before the avenger of blood could punish him. Sixth. The Punishment of the less Guilty. All this did not save the guilty from just punishment (Num. 35: 16-21). There was no opportunity for the Cities of Refuge to become hotbeds of crime and breeders of criminals. Unpunished crime is, equally with injustice, the means of increasing crime and the danger that threatens our country. Christ is the City of Refuge "It is not the church, it is not the altar; it is Christ himself who is the one and only sacrifice for sin, and therefore the one and only hiding-place to which the sinner can repair. Such a refuge is provided as will meet the case of sinners of every class, not excepting the willful murderer himself, if he repents, and that refuge is the everlasting love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. Christ is the city of refuge because God has so appointed. Christ is not an arbitrary, but a necessary city of refuge from sin. WITH THE FUNNY FELLOWS WORSE THAN THE DISEASE. Mr. Tricure (anxiously)—My dear boy, what a dreadful cold you have! Mr. Strongman—Yes; I get a cold now and then. My only aliment. Mr. Tricure—But that's very wrong. I never get a cold, and you wouldn't either if you treated yourself as I do. Mr. Strongman—Well, how, for instance? Mr. Tricure—I take a Turkish bath every week—it's excellent for my rheumatism. I find—and massage twice a week—that's for insomnia. I rarely sleep more than three hours any night. Then a cold plunge first thing in the morning for my lungs, and a two-mile walk. I seldom take any breakfast—dyspepsia too bad. I drink about three quartes of hot water during the day for my liver and then I use a nerve tonic every night. I tell you, my boy, if you'd follow my regimen— Mr. Strongman—Oh, thanks; but—er—ah—I think I'd rather have a cold. The Result.

Directions to Mix a Simple Preparation and the Dose to Take—Overcomes Kidney and Bladder Trouble Promptly. There is so much Rheumatism everywhere that the following advice by an eminent authority, who writes for readers of a large Eastern daily paper, will be highly appreciated by those who suffer: Get from any good pharmacy one half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake these well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty of good water. It is claimed that there are few victims of this dread and tortuous disease who will fail to find ready relief in this simple home-made mixture, and in most cases a permanent cure is the result. This simple recipe is said to strengthen and cleanse the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys so that they can filter and strain from the blood and system the poisons, acids and waste matter, which cause not only Rheumatism, but numerous other diseases. Every man or woman here who feels that their kidneys are not healthy and active, or who suffers from any urinary trouble whatever, should not hesitate to make up this mixture, as it is certain to do much good, and may save you from much misery and suffering after while. Everything Bad. A prominent planter recently had occasion to visit some of his holdings in southern Arkansas. The land was situated several miles from a railroad, and it was necessary to finish the journey in a buggy. So he took a friend with him and started out. After traversing several miles of sparsely settled country, they came upon a farmer plowing corn on the side of a hill. The planter, wishing to appear civil to his neighbors, stopped his horse and yelled at the man, who came to the fence, mopping his face with a red bandana. "Good morning." "Mornin', mister!" "You live here, I suppose?" "Yep." "How's crops?" "Fair to middlin'." "That's a bad hill you're plowing." "I know it. Bad hoss, pullin' th plow, bad plow, bad everything." "Why, you talk like you were the poorest man in Arkansas," laughed the planter. "I ain't, though," was the response, as the young fellow smiled good-naturedly. "Another feller owns half o' this crop." Not Discharged. An old Antebellum negro in a small southern town was arrested and brought before the village magistrate for drunkenness. He asked for a lawyer who had helped him out of scrapes before, and the magistrate sent for the attorney. The young man came into the little office, where the usual crowd of spectators had gathered, and asked the old negro: "Well, William, what are you charged with this time?" Sadly the ancient darky replied: "Boss, I'm charged wid whisky!"—Harper's Weekly. Turned Down. Gobso Golde spoke anxiously. "I understand," he said, "that my name was brought up last evening at the Knucklerbocker club." "Yes, that is true," said L'Oignon. "And would you mind telling me—what action was taken in the matter?" "Not at all. The secretary was instructed to purchase six quarts of blackballs for the use of the members." TAKE THEM OUT Or Feed Them Food They Can Study On. When a student begins to break down from lack of the right kind of food, there are only two things to do: either take him out of school or feed him properly on food that will rebuild the brain and nerve cells. That food is Grape-Nuts. A boy writes from Jamestown, N.Y. saying: "A short time ago I got into a bad condition overstudy, but Mother having heard about Grape-Nuts food began to feed me on it. It satisfied my hunger better than any other food, and the results were marvelous. I got fleshy like a good fellow. My usual morning headaches disappeared, and I found I could study for a long period without feeling the effects of it. "My face was pale and thin, but is now round and has considerable color. After I had been using Grape-Nuts for about two months I felt like a new boy altogether. I have gained greatly in strength as well as flesh, and it is a pleasure to study now that I am not bothered with my head. I passed all of my examinations with a reasonably good percentage, extra good in some of them, and it is Grape-Nuts that has saved me from a year's delay in entering college. "Father and mother have both been improved by the use of Grape-Nuts. Mother was troubled with sleepless nights and got very thin, and looked care worn. She has gained her normal strength and looks, and sleeps well nights." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville" in pkgs. Ranchman's Novel Courtship. Louis L. Kramer came all the way from Yuma, Cal., to marry a girl he had never seen. The bride was Miss Flora Weise, a pretty young woman of Tazewell county. The groom wrote to his aunt here, Mrs. Patterson, to put him in communication with a girl who would make him a good wife, as he was lonely on his ranch in Colorado. Mrs. Patterson recommended Miss Weise, a neighbor's daughter, and correspondence was begun. The girl was taken with the romance of the affair and when photographs were exchanged and proved satisfactory a proposal quickly followed. An acceptance was written and then Kramer came cast to claim his bride. The marriage was celebrated the day after his arrival and the couple departed immediately afterward for Yuma—Denver News. An Ambition "So you want to become an ambassador," exclaimed the man of power. "Yes," replied the opulent person. "I thought you were devoted to your automobile.

DIBBLE, CANDIDATE FOR ASSISTANT, CITY, PHYSICIAN. ASSISTANT CITY PHYSICIAN. Dr. J. E. Dibble, who is candidate for Assistant City Physician, has met all the requirements for that position. He is a regular Republican with a party record of long years of good standing. He has fought for the principals of this city which counts. He has been a staunch supporter of P. Sherry Brown and has always supported his policies. We hope that Dr. J. E. Dibble will receive this appointment; he is deserving and is a man that has served his party faithfully and as this is the first time he has asked for anything of any worth is at the hands of the party. Dr. Dibble, if he gets this appointment, will be for the best interest for the Negroes. The colored people regard Dr. Dibble as one of the most able doctors of Kansas City. The Rising Son supports him in its fullest capacity, and we will use every honorable means to promote his candidacy. DICKEY HAS DECLARED FOR TAFT. The Rising Son, as everybody knows, has been a champion for the Negroes rights. We have fought the cause of the Negro from the very beginning of our ascendency. On all occasions we have fought where we think the Negroes have been wronged. We fought the Brownville case and we opposed Taft because we thought that he represented all that was in Roosevelt, but judging human nature we can find nowhere in the annals of history where one man has the same disposition as another in its entitley. Then if this is the case we wish to pause. A little over a month ago we espoused the cause of that eminent and powerful Republican, Walter S. Dickey, knowing him to be a man of high integrity and a leader of all the people, both black and white. We say, if he has endorsed Taft and we are following him as our leader, we must of necessity follow where he leads. Lead on, Dickey, where you lead, we will follow.

I know five men in this little town whose watches have run day and night for ten years. Give a good watch to a man, and he takes a pride in it. He never forgets to wind it. Soon he is trying to make a record for it. "The record for continuous running is held, I believe, by a Swiss watch in Geneva that has run for 28 years." Couldn't Complain. If anything, the quick doctor was more than usually eloquent. "Ladies and gentlemen," he cried at the end of his telling oration. "I have visited this place for the last ten years, I have sold thousands of bottles of this miraculous specific, and I have never received a complaint from a purchaser. Now, what does that prove?" He passed for dramatic effect, and there was no doubt that his words had impressed his audience, till a man at the back of the crowd spoke. "Don't prove nothing," he said. "Every one knows dead men tell no tales." "Hypocrite" Defined: Mr. Reid, the leader of the commonwealth Free Trade party of Australia, objects to being called in parliament by his first name.

THE CHURCH AT WORK Efforts in Behalf of Sailors and Fishermen. Countess Adeline Schimmelmann, the founder of the Navy Home at Keil, Germany and other work among sailors and fishermen of the Baltic, and who has extended her efforts on several occasions to American waters, going as far west as Chicago, tells some interesting incidents in her work. A. "An old nobleman, a member of one of the best families, enters and asks a private interview. His Countess families, enters Schimmelmann and asks a private Interview. His son, an officer, is in trouble and the father fears that the son will commit suicide. Can we help? Yes, we can—at least we hope so. We write to one of our band or helpers—a man of God who lives near where the young gentleman resides—and request that he bring the young man in contact with Christian friends who can help him to tide over his difficulties. Especially he must try to bring him to the one great friend, Jesus. "Then a heartbroken mother asks us to try and find her lost son. We get his last address and set helpers to work. The son is found and brought home—like the repentant prodigal. "A young fireman and a young miner are in danger of consumption. They need mountain air. We are prepared for such cases, and we supply the money for fares, and clothe, lodge and feed them on our private estate. They learn a little of farming. After a year, nobody would recognize in those ruddy young fellows the invalids who seemed like dying men. "And so, in an unbroken chain, these petitions come to us. Tears dried, smiles brought to despairing faces and precious souls are won." REMEMBER THEIR PASTOR. Church at Paterson, N. J., Makes Gift of $5,000 to Aged Minister. Rev. Dr. David Magle of Paterson, N. J., to whom his congregation recently presented $5,000 on his retirement from active service as pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, retains the post of pastor emeritus there. He is a member of the board of trustees of Princeton Theological seminary. After graduating from Princeton, in the class of '56, and from the seminary, he was pastor of churches at Mendham, N. J., and Penn Yan, N. Y. He has borne a prominent part in the life of Paterson for 35 years. Among his close friends was Garret A. Hobart, the late vice president. He is the son of Rev. Dr. David Magle of Elizabeth, and is a brother of Chancellor Magle of New Jersey. KINGDOM NOTES. There are 215 Baptist educational institutions in the United States, representing property whose total valuation is about $50,000,000. A mission that is not familiar in this country is conducted annually in England among the hop-pickers during the hop-picking season. A remarkable religious awakening is going on in the association of high school in Osaka, where 64 inquiters have been met, many of whom have united with the church. There are 454 students. There are now in all the world 69,138 Christian Endeavor societies, a net gain for the year of 2,366 societies. Of these 47,761 are young people, 2,265 intermediate, 18,947 juniors. The total membership is 3,456,900. To Aid Seamen The American Seamen's Friend society is building a large institute (to cost $25,000) for the benefit of the 500,000 sailors who annually come to the port of New York, and it will provide beds, shower and swimming baths, reading and game rooms, restaurant, auditorium for concerts and entertainments, banking facilities, and a chapel for services. There will be a nominal charge for beds. Vacationless Pastorate Rev. Dr. E. J. Fogel, a clergyman at Fogettsville, Pa., has taken no vacation since he was installed as pastor 41 years ago, and has never missed preaching at least once on every Sunday in all that time. His two sons are doctors of philosophy, one a professor of German at the University of Pennsylvania, and the other an instructor in philosophy at Princeton. Money Asked for China. The Central Methodist Episcopal conference of China, consisting of representatives from all the five missions and confences of China, at its recent session, in Shanghai, asked for special collections for China from all the churches in the United States this year "in view of the wonderful openings for the extension of evangelistic work in China." An Old Land Grant. Judge Hugh Sheton of Excelsior Springs has in his possession a very old official document that money could not buy, according to the Journal of that place. It is a land grant given to one of his ancestors by King George II. in the year 1760, and was found among some old papers while Mr. Shelton was back in the East this summer. It is a grant to Thomas Chandler of 400 acres of land in Halifax county, Va., and the description of the boundaries gives the names of quite a number of others who had land in that vicinity. Debating at M. S. U. At no time in the history of the University of Missouri has interest in debating been greater than this year. At the election of student members of the debating board there was a much larger attendance than at any previous meeting. Last year the university held two interstate debates, one with Texas, the other with Oklahoma. This year there seems to be a general demand for more contests, and it is probable that more will be arranged for. Man Lived: Dog Died. Despite the fact that St. Joseph and state health authorities are wasting a crusade against the use of poisons in the form of preservatives of milk, some dafrymen doctored their supply, presumably with formaldehyde, with the result that Samuel Hess, a blacksmith, is in a critical condition after drinking a pint of the dairy product, and his pet bird deg is stone dead because he drank another pint. Money in Watermelons. T. L. Carter of Princeton approves of the watermelon, remarks the Press. He had just one acre and a half of the colored man's delight this year, and in a month harvested a crop warp $225. The fruit—or melon—which is it?—was of a particularly lucid variety, and the Princetonites bought liberally of the harvest. This puts the watermelon in the same class as the dairy cow as a money maker. Coal Oil Into a Steve By an explosion resulting from pouring coal oil into a stove containing live coals, Edna Burke, 12 years old, of St. Joseph, received injuries from which she probably will die. The little girl was saturated from head to foot with the oil and the flames enveloped her. She started to run through the house and in that way fanned the blaze. What Might Have Been. Missouri has been a state for 87 years and we will venture the assertion that there are ails on the public highways nearly as high as they were 50 years ago, says the Holden Enterprise. Had there been one plow cut taken off the top each and every year and moved to the hollows there would be no hills or hollows on the highways. Agitation is all right when it brings results. Cotton Picking Machine A New Madrid county farmer has invented a cotton picking machine that requires two horses and two men to operate it. When perfected it is expected to pick 300 pounds a day. Such an invention has been tried for several decades in the south and failed. But perhaps it depends upon great southeast Missouri to make it a success. Missing Man's Body in River. Fishermen in the Missouri River at St. Joseph discovered the body of E. L. Plynsky, age 35, a former business man who mysteriously disappeared from his home there a week ago. Springfield a Mule Market. Springfield is fast becoming one of the largest mule mark in the Southwest. Last year local dealers did more than $2,000,000 worth of business. The sales this year will be materially increased. Local dealers are holding several hundred head of mules for the advance in price which they expect with the beginning of the active season next month. Offers Rewards for Criminals Officers Rewards for Criminals Gov. Folk has offered a reward of $300 for the arrest and conviction of the unknown person who murdered Henry Birdson in Moniteau county, December 11, 1906, and another of $200 for the arrest and conviction o. J. B. Crosswhite, charged with assault in Monroe county in April, 1963. Woman Burns to Death. Miss Mary Garvin, aged 75, an eccentric old woman who had lived alone in a cottage on the farm of Arch Williams, near Lexington for the past ten years, was burned to death recently. It is not known how the fire originated, as the roof was falling in when the blaze was discovered. A Child's Narow Escape The three-year-old child of a Milan man wandered from home and went to sleep on the railroad track. The engineer of the next train did not see the child until too late to stop, until after the whole train had passed over it. But the little one had lain quietly and was unhurt. Exhausting the Supply. Government forest experts who recently made an investigation say that the hard wood production of Missouri has begun to decline. Mandates of Fashion S. THE EVER-POPULAR BLOUSE It is in coloring, rather than in contour, that the changes which Fashion has ordained for the coming season are to be noted, and while the general outline and scheme of our garments are those with which we have become pleasantly familiar during the past few months, everything will be transformed in effect by striking and manifold contrasts of color. No longer is it to be our aim to show the one chosen shade in practically every detail of our costume from hat to shoes—on the contrary, the more colors are cleverly combined on gown and headgear the more cleverly will the up-to-dateness of the wearer and the skill of the maker be proclaimed, and, indeed, much skill is invariably demanded if the result is to be altogether successful, while discretion will occasionally be the better part of—fashion—when a choice has to be made. Peacock blue is one of the colorings which will be very much to the fore and it certainly looks wonderfully well in the chiffon velvet (or velveten) which is to be a much favored fabric, while the deepest and richest shades of purple, and plum and wine red, promise to bring a welcome brightness into dull days and months and there are also available for choice many charmingly soft tones of leaf green and brown, the beautiful (though not always becoming) cinna THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY An Autumn Gown. mon shadings also making appeal to many. Stripes seem to pattern every fabric with impartiality, and in the matter of trimmings, braidings and embroideries many-colored as Joseph's coat, are equally ubiquitous, the garment which they do not jointly adorn being somewhat difficult of discovery. Not that you are likely to display any anxiety for such a discovery, seeing that the effect of the said trimmings is most admirable and decorative—indeed, you have every reason to be well pleased with the Fashion program which has been arranged for the coming season, and whose authentic details you may study in these pages, for the most widely different tastes (and figures!) have been carefully provided for, and in spite of the extra elaboration of detail and rumors of increased cost for everything, you will find nothing to alarm you in the matter of prices. The kimono we still have with us, and though its potent influence will probably wane with the season as regards our gowns, it will be long. I should say, before we are willing to disregard its many special advantages when applied to theater coats and wraps generally, while, then, it is to be noted that the sleeve of elbow length—or rather, shortness—can now be discarded by all those who may prefer the more protective and becoming sleeve, whose career continues to the wrist, and whose claims to renewed favor are at last being recognized. Blouses are of universal Interest and women are constantly needing to add to their supply of these most convenient garments. In our large illustration above we display a variety of patterns, from which helpful suggestions may be obtained for the making of these garments. The special features of fashion which vary from those of the fall and winter season of 1906 are the skirts and the sleeves, both having become considerably smaller. The ordinary tailor-made man's sleeve is prominently adopted on the long coat, while the skirts invariably fit closely round the hips, and boast their little fulness in the center of the back. The short skirt and the long skirt are alike in evidence, and since each may most successfully play a different part, there is no reason that the charms of both should not be recognized impartially. Although there is much talk of making velvet dresses with the short skirts and long coats, I would hold that, as a general rule, the long skirt looks far better in velvet. Velveteen, however, may have a success as a short skirt, and besides these checked and striped velveteens of which I have already spoken, I have met some with blurred spots upon their surface, and others with a pattern of some conventional design in fine black. The models in hats all seem exactly alike, invariably of the bell-shaped style, the only alternative being the beaver toque, which has an upturned brim, and is trimmed with a couple of skeleton feathers or a fanciful "mount" of plumes. The tunic swathed round the figure is the latest novelty for evening wear, though it is, of course, but a revival, like all good novelties. It is made of good crepe de chine, and dragged round so that it fits quite tightly over its lining, while it is bordered with a thick silk fringe, and it rests on a brocaded or embroidered petticoat. Numerous are the tweeds in stripes, and the most successful rival to the stripe is the costume which consists of a checked skirt and a plain coat, such checked skirt being constantly made of velvetene, while the coat is invariably of cloth. Then there are some checked tweeds strapped with cloth, and you may also find the perpetually attractive plain-faced cloth trimmed with strappings of velvet, as well as with those silk braid bindings which are almost ubiquitous. Extreme in Advertising. Extreme in Advertising "A new method of advertising has been discovered," says a Mannheim paper, "by a Bavarian manufacturing concern. On cards 'deeply bordered with black it has sent the following notice to business houses in Germany: 'Honored Sir: The board of directors of our company has instructed me to notify our esteemed patrons in Baden that we mourn with them on the occasion of the passing away of their beloved prince, his royal highness the Grand Duke Frederick. In complying with the wish of the directors, I must congratulate our fatherland on having been the cradle of so noble a regent. Accept the assurance of our sincere regard. X. Y., Manager." The latest circular and price list of the concern were sent with the unique card, and the paper in which the advertising trick was noticed says: "This may be clever, from the business man's standpoint, but, as we see it, it is brutal."

Every now and then some naturalist endeavors to make an approximate numerical count of known animal species. This kind of attempt is surely not without interest, but it must be acknowledged that its results are very uncertain. We are far from knowing all species, and there is yet a delightful prospect ahead for those who love systematic zoology and for zoologists who bestow mutual honors by giving each other's names to some animal hitherto unknown. As Nurmann remarked to a recent meeting of naturalists at the museum, to which he presented his "Catalogues Mammalium," the species of rodents known in 1880 were only 970 in number; now they are 1,900. The number has thus, at least, doubled in 27 years. The number of living species of this creature now known is about 1,500, divided among 160 genera. This family is the most numerous of the class of mammalia—Wissen fur Alle. BABY IN TERRIBLE STATE. Awful Humor Eating Away Face—Body a Mass of Sores—Cuticura Cures in Two Weeks. "My little daughter broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doctors, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away. Her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body were as clear as a new-born babe's. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents. Mrs. George J. Steeese, 701 Coburn St., Akron, O., Aug. 30, 1905." Terrible Fate. There is something which will appeal to every American in the horror of a fate invoked upon Henry James, Sr., by his son, the novelist, and recorded in the letters of E. L. Godkin. The young man had been worsted in argument, and exclaimed: "Then may your mashed potatoes always have lumps in them!"—Youth's Companion. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day.

A certain Gotham dining establishment features what it claims to be a replica of the spread regularly served at the White Plains "gym" made famous by the recent medicine ball test taken by Secretary of State Eiluah Root. Boasting the caption "Muldoon's Vegetable Dinner," the course in detail consists of fried sweet potato, egg plant, succotash, stewed tomatoes, cauliflower, bread and butter. It is said that when the sponsor of this meal bearing his name was a member of the "Finest," and was jocularly known as "Muldoon, the Solid Man," he adhered to the regimen above described. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Her Recipe. A lady famed for her skill in cooking was entertaining a number of her friends at tea. Everything on the table was much admired, but the excellence of the sponge cake was especially the subject of remark. "Oh!" exclaimed one of the guests, "it is so beautifully soft and light! Do tell me where you got the recipe." "I am very glad," replied the hostess, "that you find it so soft and light.

It seems that the supporters of the various Negro candidates on both sides are throwing mud. This should not have ever been entered into so long as the Negro physicians who gets it shall be expected to represent us in that capacity as assistant city physician, the two leading candidates for the position, Dr. J. . . Dibble and Dr. C. E. Perry, stand so high in the community that it doesn't look well for the supporters of either side to be throwing mud at the other candidates. The job only pays $0.00 per month which is not enough money to kill either man's business by the dirty right which has been raging. Dr. Perry one of the leading candidates, has a very good practice in this city, in fact his practice is so large that it wouldn't warrant aim in having the other faction to fight a fight on him that would injure his business. In fact we think that he has gotten out of the race for he doesn't care for all this fighting, and furthermore we do not think he is a party to the dirty fight that is being carried on against the other candidate and again we do not believe that Dr. Dibble is in favor of those dirty charges which are going to be filed against Dr. Perry. Let the two men fight on their merits and let their friends support them and then see who will get the nomination. Merit wins and party-regularity counts. The Son will investigate the matter and go to the bottom of the charges, and furthermore we will support the man whom we believe is being imposed upon. We believe that the mayor of the city will believe in a small measure what we have to say. Let the fight go on. Watch our next issue. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES It is therefore not strange that young men and women come here from all parts of the country, as Miss Lena Hopkins, graduate of the High school of Cheyenne, Wyoming; the Misses Thompson of Rochester, New York; daughters of Mr. Thompson, the writer, William Garrett of Mobile, Alabama, etc. Then, again, the wide range of territory throughout which the senior Normal diploma, a life certificate is taken in lieu of teachers' examinations, as Missouri, Oklahoma, parts of Kansas, Illinois and Iowa, in all of which localities teachers salaries are excellent, constitutes another incentive to cause the thinking parent to select Lincoln Institute as the place in which to secure an education.

She has been able to raise the patients and similar cases on different occasions. She can heal all cases of Nervous Debility, Rheumatism and the most rigid complaints.

H. Larsons 302 E. 12th Street ARGYLE BUILDING NEGROES WANT OLD HOSPITAL. Are Afraid no Arrangements Will be Made for Them in New. Kansas City negro phylcians are again agitating to a slight extent the old proposition to have the present hospital building made into a separate department for negroes, with negro physicians and nurses in charge. Notwithstanding the agreement reached some months ago by a committee composed of Drs. T. C. Unthank, J. E. Perry, J. E. Dibble, J. S. Shannon and J. N. Birch, representing the Negro Medical Society of Kansas City, and Aldermen Young, Eaton, Greene, Woolf and Mayor Beardsley, city council hospital committee, the negro doctors are somewhat dissatisfied and may ask that the council reopen the matter. By the terms of this agreement a negro ward is to be established in the new general hospital with internes and nurses of that race. Here, it was promised, the negro physicians might take their patients and hold suitable clinics, with quarters ample for all their needs. There is a well defined suspicion among the negro doctors that in the bustle of rearrangement this agreement will be forgotten. "So far as we know," said Dr. Unthank last night, "the promise of the council committee will be kept. But we have not observed any very marked degree of activity towards carrying it out, and many of us are inclined to believe we shall be left holding the bag when the readjustment is made. Just now if one of us has the amputation of a finger to perform, he must take his patient across the line to Kansas City, Kan. Naturally we are very much worried as to what will be done for us here after in the matter. We can not see even yet any real reason why we should not be given the oid hospital as we asked at first. "At least 90 per cent of the negro cases in Kansas City are handled by negro physicians. We have no clinical facilities whatever, and but few facilities for taking care of those of our race who may be in need of suitable hospital care—at least for those of the 90 per cent we have under our charge. We shall be satisfied if we are given the quarters at the new building we were promised. I am sure, however, another attempt will be made to secure the old building for our purposes. A number of councilmen who were asked about the matter evaded the question yesterday, declaring they had too many present problems to worry them to bother about this until it be CLINICS FOR NEGROES. The request of the local negro physicians that a ward for negro patients, to be under the care of physicians and nurses of their own race, be established in the new general hospital is so reasonable and just that the municipal authorities should give hearty consent. Indeed, it would not be unreasonable in view of the large percentage of the negro population to set aside the old hospital building for the exclusive use of negro practitioners and their patients. If it is true, as asserted by a prominent negro physician, that 90 per cent of the negro cases in Kansas City are handled by negro physicians, it is not only unjust, but dangerous to the public health and safety, to deny these physicians an opportunity to add to their proficiency by having a suitable place to hold clinics and provide proper facilities for their patients who may become a public charge. The higher the standard of skill among the negro physicians the less will be the chances of an epidemic of smallpox or other contagious diseases originating in the negro population and spreading over the city. A still higher consideration than the selfish one of protecting the white population from contagion is the moral obligation on the part of the administration to give the negroes a fair share of the benefits of public charities, such as the general hospital, and to do everything possible to uplift and promote the moral and social welfare of their race. The charge has been made in some communities, and apparently with considerable truth, that the NOTE NEW FAIR $10.00 t OVER $10.00 t A.

The Highland avenue Baptist Literary Society holds its regular meetings every Monday evening and requests the presence of literary lovers. negroes are crowded out of the professions and are forced to confine their energies mainly to menial and mechanical occupations. Kansas City, however, has hitherto given no grounds for such a charge, as the number of negro physicians, teachers and members of other professions clearly evidences; but the further duty is incumbent upon the city administration to afford a fair opportunity for the negro physicians to hold clinics and qualify themselves as far as possible for the safe and successful practice of the profession. Well, the political cloud is thickening and they have begun to organize to see who is who and what is what. Where are you, on the fence or in the ditches, or where? What do you want? By men who have attended the Missouri State convention in the past, say that the 31st annual convention held at Fulton Oct. 10-13, the most successful in the state's history. Seven of the two hundred or more delegates were colored, representing the schools of Sedalia and Jefferson City, and the city associations of Kansas City and St. Louis. Among the interesting, helpful and inspiring conditions noted by the delegates, was the progressiveness and culture of the colored people of Fulton.

NEGRO ROWDYISM ON STREET CARS The other evening it seems from the facts and testimonies that a gang of Negroes beat up a conductor on an Argentine car. This is sadly to be deplored, such an outrageous happen-ening, it seems that the conductor spoke to those Negroes about being quiet and it was resented. The Rising Son backed by the good Negroes of this community are against such felonious assault and we believe they should be punished. President Corrigan is very strict on the motormen and conductors on the companies cars and he says "any incivility to the passengers on the part of the conductors or other employees should be reported directly to him and the matter shall be properly adjusted.
