Why meetings of any kind should be held in Lincoln High school audi torium with Its unkempt stage, dirty floor, broken seats and miserable ac coustics is beyond our comprehension. Who is responsible for its lack of cleanliness? Whenever a Negro as much as of fends a white man by presuming to be his equal in ordinary rights he Is marked for abuse or hate or lynch ing. Uncle Pete is all right with his hat in his hand and his head bowed down "Vaas, Boss," but don't put on your hat, uncle, and do not raise your head like mine, you impudent scoundrel! The Negro is all right in his place, and he has no place! The sight of a merry-go-round is so unusual in Sedalia that a recent visit from one of the "critters" caused an all-night race war in that town. Ne groes and whites could not decide as to which were the front seats and, naturally, the whites wanted all the hobby horses, leaving the mules to the colored brother. This caused war so fierce as to involve all the loosebrlcks, the loose police and the loose fire department. It's like Dr. W. Sampson Brooks says, however, the Negro must hold himself to blame for much of his con dition. He has enjoyed the first emancipation which freed his body from physical serfdom but he has yet to enjoy that higher emancipation from the slavery of prejudice against his own race, his own color, his own Institutions and his own powers. Perhaps If we could get ourselves right other things would be rapidly added. " The man who offers to buy a vote Is Just as criminal as the one who offers to sell. Neither is worthy of citizenship, whether he Is block or white. This abuse of suffrage is not confined to the Negroes or to the poor whites. The man hngher up Is usually the big criminal because he does things upon a big scale. True, he gets by with the goods more easily than the little fellow, but its the same crime. At the election to be held next week the school ballot will be sep arate from the big blanket ballot nn- on which the city officers are to be nttnoan TTl . I . . , ' vioio uru uuuuuneu not to forget to ask for the school ballot. They ahe also cautioned not to for get thff necessity of voting for the school levy by which our educational work Is kept up to Its present high standard and for William Volker who has been re-npmlnated for member of the Board of Education. Mr. Volker u citizen of such peerless class and character as to need no special com mendation for the position which he is willing to accept. He is opposed by men of exactly opposite caliber. This natural and to be fexpe6ted. Mr, Volker deserves and should receive the support of every Negro voter. If his nante' Is not on your school bal lot, write It there. THEY , That the Palace Drug Store No. 2 is going to be a dream. That you can't be an Angel In the day and a devil at night and keep the people fooled. That a cracked and screechy voice will spoiJ the music of the best choir in the world. That the Sun Is one of the four best Negro newspapers published In America. How's that, brother? That those who miss hearing Rev. W. H. Thomas on Sunday nights, miss the most classical and profound ser mons possible to hear In the pulpits of the race. That if the eleven Masonic lodges. the two Commanderies, two Chapters, consistory, Daughters of Isls, Ladles of the Golden Circle, Eight Chapters, u. E. s., eight Courts. H. of J., with the combined membership of nearly two thousand, should decide to cele brate St. John's Day, all other frater nal organizations will have to take a back seat, on numbers, splendor, and display. That a certain -wife wa- beguiled to leave her home and follow a pea- nuckle dude to Chicago, but after two or three days riotous association he quietly stole away and left' her with out funds and among strangers. And when her landlady became importu nate in her demands for her room rent and hunger began to gnaw at her vi tals she sent a S. O. S. message to her hubby saying, "Honey please send and get me," and out of his blgheartH edness he forgave and brought her back. And she was so happy when she arrived that bursting in tears, as she threw herself In his arms she said, Honey, 1 11 never go outside that door unless you're with me if I live fifty years." That's some pledge, ain't it? BRILLIANT OPENING OF BEAUTIFUL LINCOLN CAFE. The opening of the Lincoln Cafe on last Thursday even ing is now a matter of history. For several weeks past, in fact since the closing of the Criterion Theatre, the work of reconstruction and putting in shape the third floor at 1740 Vine Street had been eagerly watched by the pleasure seek ers of greater Kansas City, and when the announcement cards were mailed, reserva tions from many of Kansas City's most exclusive set were daily received, until upon the evening of the grand openfng every available table had been contracted for. A special representative of the Sun was on hand at 9 :00 o'clock to wit ness the "most elaborately ap pointed Cabaret operated for and owned by Negroes in America. The natural beauty of this large and spacious room was materially augment ed by a profusion of palms and cut flowers, which virtu ally transformed the Cafe into a garden fit for a King. A six-piece Orchestra under the directorship of Milton D. Vassar, furnished the music. Mr. G. O. SmithvKansas City's popular head waiter, who officiated at tho opening of the Blue Goose and Prince Henry Cafes, with his regular crew of twenty-six men from the Hotel Kupper, uniformed to the minute, did the serving, and the, service which they rendered was par excellent. The two entertainers, Miss Bessie LaBelle of Omaha, Neb., and Speedy Smith, sang a Repertoire of songs and dit ties that .served only to make one forget the very inclement weather without and wish for more. From 9:00 o'clock un til the wee hours of tho morn ing crowds continued to come and go and not a hitch nor a bobble of any description was in evidence at any time, t The Management of the Lin coln Cafe is to be congratu lated on the kind of service and entertainment which they are offering to tho pleasure seeking' public. Tho atmos phere from every angle of this, institution inspires the most wholesome respect and decorum upon the part of all who pass within its portals. The Lincoln is open 'every evening in the week and the cabaret entertainment begins at 9;00 p, m. KANSAS CITY, KAN. Sirs.

SPEARS P, O. Box 21 INDEPENDENCE, Ma Of (By Wm Sltts, International Bible Student.) There will be a resurrection of the dead both the Just and unjust. Acts 24-15. The characteristic of this sub jects has been erroneous and has been taught with little weight. That Is supposing this body of flesh which we possess will rise from the dead. We know that flesh and blood can not Inherit tho Kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 15-50. Notice how the Apostle Paul explains the text. "And some man will say how are the dead raised up and with what body do they come? Thou fool that thou soweth is not quickened except to die." I Cor. 15-35-3C-37. Thou soweth not that body that shall be but to bear grain. No tice how he uses the word (It) it is sown In corruption; (it) Is raised in Incorruptlon.' I Cor. 15-42. It is the personality (the soul) that died for all dies in Adam. I Cor. 15-22. Ezek. 18-4, Ps. 87-7. The soul that died has been preserved In the memory of God to be raised by the power of God for all who are In the grave shall come forth. God will give (It) a body. I Cor. 15-38. Notice the coming forth and resurrection is in contrast. The coming forth Is only awakening but the word resurrection came from the Greek word (anastasls) and signifies restand or rise completely out of sin. Christ poured out his soul unto death but he was not a sinner, his soul died and body also. Isiah 53-12. Acts 2127. His soul was In hell (Hades) ; his body was in the G-foot space the tomb The Greek word in contrast to the C-foot space is (Nay meon); tho He brew word, (guber), signifies the memory or invincible grave. All souls which are dead are embalmed In the memory of God or the Invisible grave. They will hear his voice- and come forth. Dear friends I am only dis cussing the resurrection of the Just and will take the unjust next. BE STEADFAST. Do not be alarmed because you heard that some one said something not complimentary about you. Peo pie have always said ugly things about those who struggle to be, and are achieving something: those against whom there Is nothing said, anre negligible quantities people talk about those who are doing good. l ou go ahead, like the ancient philo sopher, who, when he was asked by an apparent friend, who really de sired to help the old sage, whot he could 'do for him, replied: "Please stand out of my sunshine." That Is all the elert, energetic . aspiring young person asks; "stand out of my sunshine.

VINE STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. Sunday morning services were good ....Our pastor, ' Dr. T. H. Ewlng, preached a good sermon. His theme was "Obedience." It was Indeed a dis course long to be remembered and we trust will bring about a greater desire In our hearts to obey God that wo may become one of the greatest Nations of the earth. Evening services after a few brief remarks by the pastor the meeting was turned over to the Busi ness Men's League and Tve were royal ly entertained by some of the best speakers of our race. The striking feature of the evening was the intro duction of all persons in business; about thirty were Introduced. This speaks well for the race. Easter Sun day' will be a busy day at our .Sunday school. Be sure to come. A fine pro gram will be rendered by some of our best talent. Everybody is invited. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH. St. John's A.

An amusing story of particular In terest at the moment is told concern ing tho dulco of Sutherland by Lord Suffleld In "My Memories." When the shah of Persia visited tha country, tho late King Edward, who was then prlnco of Wales, told him that the duko of Sutherland owned largo es tates in Scotland, as well as in Eng land. Tho shah Is alleged to have said: "He must be very rich. Of course, when you como to the throne you will" And here ho made an ex pressive gesture with his finger across his throat Lord Suffleld was on close terms ot Intimacy with the late king, who, al though he had tho reputation ot affa bility and geniality, drew very plainly the limits which guarded his dignity. On one occasion his late majesty was leaving White's club, and began to light a cigar In a room In which people did not usually smoke. Some officious official came up and said so, and the prince replied, quite pleasantly,' that he was just going. The official retorted, rather rudely, that. the club rules must be observed, no matter who the mem ber was, and the prince, without an other word, left the club, and with drew his namo next day. The Marl borough owes Its exlstenco to that lit tle lapse or lack of tact on the part of one of White's people. EUROPE'S MOST TACTFUL MAN Viscount Knollys, the Late King Ed ward's Friend, Has Been Accord ed That Distinction. Europe's most "tactful man" Is, by common consent, Viscount Knollys, first baron ot Caversham, who Is now juBt seventy-six. For over 40 years he was private secretary to British roy alty, the friend and counsellor s of three monarchs, and his recent retire ment was considered in court circles to be little less than a calamity. It has been said of htm that "no other man ever knew so much or said so little." The tribute is deserved, for Lord Knollys was always a human sphynx. Shrewd Insight, unfailing tact and courtesy, and the rare abil ity to hold his tongue, enabled him to win and hold tho esteem and respect of uot only those he directly served, but of cabinet ministers, diplomats and the people at large. Only the re porters disliked him, for never a word were they able to get out of him1. It was In 188G that Francis Knollys, then merely a "Mr.," entered the serv ice of royalty as gentleman ushdr to Queen Victoria. Two years later he was appointed private' .secretary to the prince of Wales, later King Ed ward. Cameras Barred on Italy's Frontier. The secretary of state for foreign af fairs has been Informed by his ma jesty's charge d'affaires at Rome that the Italian government has Issued reg ulations prohibiting the use of cam eras on tho whole of tho Italian fron tier, where there are positions, of mil itary Importance, and also In places in the interior of Italy requiring pro tection from spies. The position, of these prohibited districts Is always indicated on posts and placards clear ly marking the limits of such zones. Visitors to Italy are therefore warned that if, after crossing the Italian frontier, they enter any of those zones, they will be liable to have cameras seized and be subjected to penal proceedings and fines. Should a plate or film be found on a visitor with the negative of a military local ity of Importance, the consequences' would be still more serious. London Telegraph. , Shortening the Law's Delay. A remarkable change has come over the king's bench courts, remarks the London Globe. Twelve months ago the condition of the courts was so con gested that the' Judges were trying actlpns 'which had stood for hearing six months and more. Recently five actions were before the judges which were set down for trial the month be fore. Tho ex-lord chancellor once ex pressed tho hope that Judges might be in the agreeable position ot saying to litigants, "Come Into the courts today and we will hear you tomor row." "When litigants have to wait less than three weeks for their cases to be reached the fulfillment of this hope would appear to be not far off. Not in every part' of the work of tho king's bench division! however, are things so expeditious. No Royal Cross Saddles, King George and Queen Mary do not favor the use of cross saddles by girls and women." Hence Princess Mary's recent first appearance In the hunt ing field carried with It a certain sense of disappointment to those aris tocratic women and their number Is an ever-increasing one who have exchanged, the side saddle of their ancestresses for tho cross saddle ot men not only at tho covert Bide, but alBO in the park. Nevertheless, tho new custom is one that has not yet found any. favor in royal circles. Newark Joke. "I know now why they are called de partment stores," said a stout bald citizen. ''Why are they called depart ment stores?' BBked the special po liceman. "Because a man departs from them as soon as he can." Putting on his coat, the stout,, bald citizen moved further away. Newark News. , A 'wea!ny""Noseman named Thor Ann Karlsefrlo, with three ship's and 60 men, founded a colony somewhere on the American coaBt In 1007, and here his son Snorro was born, tho first white child born In America.

Those who know nothing of the su perstitious awe with which tho legal fraternity regard tho forms of proced ure can scarcely appreciate the high courage required of the district at torney of Kings county, New York, to break, with tradition and draw up an indictment, say, for murder,, with the aid of only sixty slmplo words, the Philadelphia Record remarks. In the old form tho grand jury makes Us ac cusation briefly enough,, but the de scription "of tho felonious act Is fear fully and woefulljr designed. A long paragraph freely interluded with cuch terms as "force of arms" und other phrases from tho jargon of the law, is required for tho mere statement that the defendant committed an as sault with Intent to kill. The old-fashioned Indictment do scribe") the course of tho bullet in about 600 words, stating how the de fendant "a certain pistol then and there charged and loaded with gun powder and one leaden bullet" which Is manifestly an untruth. The weap on with which the killing Is accom plished is not loaded In the presence of the victim, but is charged with ready-made cartridges. Nor does It contain only one leaden bullet, for It is usually a revolver holding five or six shots. j This painful striving after accuracy, which, after all, merely breeds lnaccu-i racles and results In appeals for error and endless retrlalB, is Intolerable 4n an age which lays such stress on effi ciency. We criticise the artisan who goes through twelve motions In laying a brick when the feat could be accom plished in three or four motions; but the legal tautologlst gets paid propor tionately to the greatness of his waste of words. The .sin of tautology permeates ev ery department of the law, and it is one of the prime causes of the expen siveness and dllatorlness of litigation. The reform of legal procedure is prac tically in the. hands ot the courts and the lawyers themselves. AS IT WAS 300 YEARS AGO Definitely Settled That Women May Not Practice Law In the Courts of England. Women cannot practice law In the courts of England. This doctrine, wae recently affirmed by the court of ap peal which decided against Miss G. M. Befb in a suit which she had brought against tho Law society 'and in whfcch she claimed the right to practice as a solicitor. The master of the rolls said that 300 years ago Lord Coke, had expressed the view that women could not be attorneys, and so far as this case was concerned, the master of the rolls said he decided it on the grourid that, at the date ot the pass ing of the solicitors' act of 1843, there was a disability on the part of women to be attorneys. The act bad not destroyed the pre existing disability. He disclaimed arfy right to legislate In the matter. No doubt many women, and in particular the present applicant, were in educa tion, Intelligence and competency su perior to many candidates who would come up for examination. But with that the court had nothing to do. The lord Justices concurred and the appeal was dismissed. Early Suffragette. Mllttant-mlnded women were known In England before the suffragettes, one of whom lies In Henry VII.'s chapel Margaret, countess of Rich mond, Its builder's mother, with her brass efflgy by Torrlglanb. . She h'ated the Turk, and she made, as Camden reports, a sporting offer to the chival rous of her day: "On the condition that prlnoes of Christendom would combine themselves ' and march against the common enemy, the Turk, she would most willingly attend them and be their laundress in camp." That position of laundress to the Crusaders would have been an easy' one, for It was the fashion to make vows to change no underclothing until the holy sepulcher was regained.. Korean Marriages. Marriages between widows and bachelors are very much in favor In Korea because not nearly so much money Is required from the bridegroom as in the case of his marriage with a young girl. The Impecunious bride groom is scorned by the parents of the girl and he Is also unable to pay for the elaborate wedding ceremonies which must take place. All of this he escapes by running off with a widow, It happens In Korea, as in other coun tries, that the Impecunious bachelor Is often more desirable from every point of view but a mercenary one than the well to do member of the community. Consequently, the widow has a way of attaching a handsome young husband to herself that might well be envied by the young girl. Smile, and Others Will Smile. In an elevator ot ono ot our large stores I saw a, lady turn her head and In so' doing, struck another lady's face with her feather, the lady struck was angry and scowled at the .first lady, and In so doing turned her head and struck with her hat ornament an other lady. This lady turned her head and struck, another lady's face; this, lady was annoyed, but she had seen the others, and as she looked up she saw two gentlemen with broad smiles on their faces, and she smiled, and Boon the others In the car saw the humorous side, and there were smiles upon smiles in that gloomy store ele vator. Butler Glaenzef, poet and essay ist, listened with, Mb calm smile, at tba Players' club In New York, to a son neteer who lamented that a magazine bad paid him Vinly a cent a' line for a sonnet cycle. Mr. Olaenzcr did not seem at all perturbed at these starvation rates. He blinked his eyes rapidly behind' his pince-nez, smiled hla calm smile, and said In bis calm voice; "My dear fellow, don't you know that the only successful poet nowa days Is he who Is able, to make a living at something else?"
