College Com- After an instrumental duet by Mrs. Layne and Miss Barnett, prayer was offered by the Rev. Samuel Hawkins of Georgetown. Between the speakers some excellent musical numbers were in terspersed. The Boys' Quartet, Meura Jackson, Camp, Reeves and Burton, made a favorable impression at each appearance. We are delighted to make special mention of the solo by Miss H. Mae Fields. Lady Mae is an accomplished vocalist and the audience was delighted with the melody of her voice. Every participant in the content acquitted themselves with acceptability. All were distinct, audible and impressive, giving evidence of careful instruction and earnest effort. The Grammar school contest ants were, Samuel Rovaton, Lala Davis, Sadie Marshall and Joha H Poston, who carried off first honors. His subject was, "Time" The representatives in the academic contest were, Ruby Anderson, Isaiah Davis, Ncra Blanche Davis and Henry T. Reeves. Miss Davis carried off the honors. Her subject was "The Black Horse and His Rider at the Battle of Sa Boston, Mass., April, 1907. Recognizing the unlawful discharge of the "Black Battalion" of the Twentyfifth U. S. Infantry by the Chief Executive of the U. S. as another blow at the Constitutional rights of American citizens, "The Constitution League of the United States" has of its own volition taken up the fight of the discharged soldiers and supported the Hon. Joseph Menson Foraker, Senator from Ohio, in his splendid effort to maintain Constitutional rights for American citizens. We, the members of the committee for the "Soldiers' Defense Fund" of Massachusetts, heartily endorse the appeal issued by "The Constitutional League" for funds to carry on this great work of constitutionally establishing the rights of American citizens, regardless of race, creed or color. We do hereby urge the members of our race to form committees by public mass meetings or otherwise and to raise funds to help "The Constitution League." We especially appeal to the editors of colored newspapers to publish gratis, and as possible, this, our appeal, and the appeal by "The Constitution League." We also appeal to all churches, secret societies, other racial organizations and individuals of our race to aid "The Constitution League" in its laudable effort to secure the rights of the citizens in this country, whether soldiers or civilians. This committee, purposely crawn from diverse elements and groups of Massachusetts colloided citizens, has for several months been in close personal touch with the management of "The Constitution League;" has been in confidential conference with its secretary; has given several hundred dollars into its hands to be expended at its discretion for the ratoga.

Zion M E Church on the 21st, Rev. M. L. Jackson, his torner pastor, of ficiating. Great was the concourse of people that witnessed the obseques of this good citezen. Frank Robinson, perhaps better known as Frank Thompson, had lived for more than 30 years in Johnson county near Knob Nos ter. When a lad of twelve he was sold to John Robinson by a Mr. Woods of Lexington. Up to the civil war he made a good and faith ful servant. As soon as he was liberated, he became and observant about the condition of his people. Seeing poverty and want on every side, he began at once to lay the foundations of an honorable home. As a result of this thought and effort, forty acres of good fertile soil was secured by him. At this home he established his fireside and reared his children. Here he has lived happily for many years. Brother Thompson was a citizen well loved by all, white as well black. By his sterling worth and manly integrity he has been considered one of the leaders among his people for many years. During the pastorates of the Reverends J W Payne and Henry Glenn, he was converted and attached to the Mt. Zion M. E. church of Knob Noster. He was kept in close relation with this Why Buy New Clothes, When I Can Make Your Old Ones New for Little Money. Suits to Or Pants to Or My Personal G panied Every O A.

Roosevelt may forget the Black Phalanx, American people never shall so long as such to defend the heroes that immortalized the Mr. Foraker's sectional feelings, we have the days wrong on its interpretation of the constitution the Negro issue as a chisel to effect. If such fearless defenders as Foraker and did not join issue with the arrogant Southernhood of states, has proven that the greatest defenders and who espouse the cause of lowliest of the love Mr. Foraker espouses the cause of the Negro by many, he is pursuing the proper order we have noble ideas to the "why" of believe that he loves the constitution so daytime to oppose anybody, President, down on to its lofty teachings and practical uproses love him because he stands for a prairie "Square Deal" policy. American is able to do all the thinking for people. So why become vexed at Foraker think for himself. He is cultured, fearful and experienced. All the Roosevelts, Tafts, combined following will find a worthy foemer, the constitutional Defeuder from Ohio. In these days of greed and rush for financial and political influence, it seems almost impossible that there remains one great American, who loves the constitution so well that he will imperil his political career for its defense. Some have alleged divers reasons for this American taking the stand he maintains with such dignity and ability. But all allegations and aspersion fade into vaporous chaos, when the greater proposition of defending the constitution is involved. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is destined to win a position abreast of Hamilton, Madison, Webster, Sumner, Blaine, Garfield, Lincoln and still others of that grand array of Constitutional Deenbers. These men gave life and character to a constructive statesmanship, because they built sentiment that culminated in laws. And these laws benefitted humanity, high and low. Little men charge Foraker with stirring up "Race Feeling, sowing the seeds of "Sectionalism," "Fighting the President" and, above all else of having a "Head of his own." As we see it every time any man is brought to time for imposing upon Negroes, some fellow will "holler" race problem or some other silly rot. If the contention to have the Negro enjoy his constitutional rights, civil, military or industrial means "Race Issues," we say let 'er gogallagher. We know why this old cry is made and what motive prompts its utterance. It is to scare the timid and to discredit Mr. Foraker. If President Theodore Roosevelt out of his heart of tender compassion, can raise his great personality in righteous protest against Russian maltreatment of the Jews, who are aliens to our laws, customs, institutions and sentiments, surely Senator Foraker is reasonable in his contention to secure a hearing for American citizens, who have imperilled their lives for their country's defense and have heroically risked much to win glory for the noble Jewish defender, our Presipent. Roosevelt may forget the Black Phalanx at San Juan Hill but the American people never shall so long as such men as Foraker are here to defend the heroes that immortalized that locality. As to Mr. Foraker's sectional feelings, we have this to say, the South is always wrong on its interpretation of the constitution. It is constantly using the Negro issue as a chisel to efface its everlasting beauties. If such fearless defenders as Foraker and others prior to his day, did not join issue with the arrogant South, we would have no sisterhood of states. History has proven that the greatest defenders and noblest heroes are those who espouse the cause of lowhest of the lowly. Therefore, when Mr. Foraker exposes the cause of the Negro, said to be insignificant by many, he is pursuing the proper course to gain renown. But we have nobles in arms to the "why" of his contentions. We believe that he loves the constitution so dearly that he is ready at anytime to oppose anybody, President, down or up, who is in opposition to its lofty teachings and practical usages. Of course all Negroes love him because he stands for a practical application of the "Square Deal" policy. No one American is able to do all the thinking for this great American people. So why become vexed at Foraker because he presumes to think for himself. He is cultured, fearless, aggressive, frank and experienced. All the Roosevelts, Tafts, Longworths and their combined following will find a worthy foeman in Joseph Benson Foraker, the constitutional Defender from Ohio. Some "Don'ts" For Parents.

Annie from the ordinary affairs, which engage the people's attention, there seems to be but one thought and purpose in their minds, and that thought in the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League; while the one purpose is the royal entertainment of the delegates and visitors who will be present at the meeting. The average places of business of the colored people are kept in excellent shape. Regardless, how ever, of this many changes and improvements are being made by the various merchants of the city. Present indications point to 500 as the number who will be in attendance at the National League exclusive of the visitors. In no other section of the country, wher the League has been held, have ther been more farmers and business men who were in share to at tend than in Kansas and adjoining states. These are coming in large numbers. The membership committee of the local league is making an active canvass to in crease the membership to 300. The committee on "Home and Location," is listing the names of all who will entertain delegates next summer. It has been wisely decided to place the price of lodging at One Dollar per day, during the league meeting. The "Advertizing" Committee has decided on a button to be worn by the members of the league Ira C. Guy is in receipt of a communication of from the venerable Judge M. W. Gigga, of Little Rock, Arkansas, formerly of Topeka, and who owns valuable real estate in this city, stating that "God willing, when the roll is called, I'll be there at the great League Meeting." Among the attractions which are planned for the National Negro Business League is a chorus of 50 voices. They are chosen from the best musical talent in the city, and promise to render exceptionally fine music. C. C. Lytle, secretary of the local business league, has been appointed Deputy Marshall of a court in our city. He is an unusually popular and promising young man He will make good. The Mystery of Taft. The mystery of Mr. Taft is really a political bewilderment, for the character and life of the Secretary of war are simple and limpid. He wins the heart of individuals, but he does not fire the heart of the sovereign multitude.

Unshakable independence, and creative and administrative abilities that have compelled admiration throughout the world-abould stir so little enthusiasm in the American people.
