THE NEGRO CLUBS ARE A RUINA
TION TO THE YOUNG MEN
AND WOMEN OF KANSAS
CITY.
The Son, in lis last Issue took a
stand againsl one of the greatest evils
Kansas City has to battle with, and
that. Is in regards to the negro clubs
which entice the young men and wo
men from their homes.
The negroes will never be a race
until our good negro citizens come
out boldly against siich places which
rrally art as boomerangs against the
race.
How many of my thousands of read
ers deep down in their hearts condemn
these places, bill have not the cour
age to come out against them. Moth
ers and fathers if you do not make a
stand now you will regret it in after
years, .lust last year one of these
Individuals claimed that his place was
a literary club for the benefit of the
young men. Claiming that the pur
Ikjso was to promote social, Intellec
tual and the moral side of its members.
The Intelligent negroes sat passively 1
by nnd allowed their positions and
striving to be used to promote on of
the greatest evils that the negro has
to deal with. Thank God we have one
stalwart preacher of the Gospel who
Is not afraid to speak out against
these places and that Is our own 110
tile Itev. Samuel llacote. Come 011 you
strong minister of the Gospel, array
yourself and begin buttle against these
- damnable Institutions. No more hack
sliding but let there be a washing of
linen. Let the negro women arouse
themselves in behalf of their wayward
daughters and sous. Come .111 fathers
and recognize this crucial period of
our progress and do something for
your race, .lust a little over a week
ago Arthur Ashcraft, once a pupil of
Lincoln school was shot to death In
one of these places. Now what are
we going to do to rid ourselves of
these evils. There mint lie a division
In this city.
The good negro versiiH the bud ne
gro. It is from these places that
crime originates. A man loses all his
money, feels down and out, and the
first tiling you know a crime has been
committed. Oh! Alnilgthy God, who
shapes the destiny of man and rules
the mighty universe, come down up
on your chosen people at this critical
time. Give the negroes power to com
bat Us greatest evil. O! God! Will
you come among us. Will you help
the negro In his undying, crusade
against these most damnable Institu
tions, which ure a menace to our race.
In reply to the credit Old Bon 1

Ing been a white man, let me say
here, that well thinking people know
this to he a fact, nnd mothers and
fathers have watched It, from tht
rnrllest existence up until the pres
ent time, that the traits of character
co from the mother Into the male
children, nnd the father Into the fe
mnle children. Had Hooker T. Wash
ington the traits of his father, he
would have been a licentious charac
ter, sneaking around in the southern
Mates with white women. You can
readily see why thff majority of our
mixed-breed women can not be trust

hand that rocks the cradle Is the
liuinl that rules the world.

Healthfulness of Washington.
While the claim can be truly made
that Washington Is as healthful as the
great majority of big cities, and Is
becoming more so with the progress
and more general acceptance of Bani-
tary measures, Washington has" over
come and Is overcoming some natural
disadvantages. It Is , a question
whether the Potomac country, with
Its long summers, short winters, gen
erally humid climate, great number of
creeks and small rivers and wide
marshes. Is naturally as healthful as
the hills of New England and the
cool, dry uplands of the west. The
people who live In Washington, and
whose ancestors have dwelt there for
two centuries or so, defend the cli
mate, and certainly about the usual
percentage of people attain ripe old
ge.
Divorces are. said to bo moBt fre
quent In small towns and villages. Per
haps it is because gossip is most
active in such places.
It is somewhat surprising to learn
that Finland, notwithstanding her po
litical troubles, did a much larger for
eign business la 1905 than In 1904.
Her foreign commerce in 1905 was of
the value of $99,584,400, consisting of
$ir10.400 exports nnd $51,740,000 Im
ports. The export Increaso over 1904
was $5,L'll.:tSti, and the Imports also
iucrensed by $173,700. The largest Im
ports were breadstuff. 706.fi 1 8,000
pounds. Most of the wheat flour sent
in by Germany. Great llrilan anil Hen
mark was of American origin. The
chief l!i0.r export was lumber, valued
at $j;i.!S9.!t()0, an Increase over 1904
of $ri,"0. Paper and wood pulp ex
ported was worth $c,7:i5,700. Other
exports we.c butter, 3t.!tHO,fll0 pounds,
11 lid cattle, treat, milk and cream, val
il"d at $N.U09.NO0.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES.
Methods of Teaching the Industrial
at Lincoln Institute, Dr. Benjamin
f. Allen, President.
Josephine S. Yates, department of
English.
Methods of teaching the Industries
In Lincoln Institute, the Missouri
State NormnI and college for negroes,
are practical and approved and In ad
dition, contain many original Ideas
that may be accredited to Its progres
sive and scholarly president Dr. B.
V. Allen, who looks after every de
tail of work In th Industrial depart
ment, as well as elsewhere, with the
most minute care.
Every encouragement Is given the
student to follow some Industry, In
fact every student Is required to com
plete several branches of industrial
work during the course and thus Is he
prepared to become a producer as well
as a consumer. As nn aid to an in
creasing zeal along Industrial lines,
President Allen Is now giving a series
of morning talks to the students.
The fact Is, these talks are made
by the administrative head to the en
tire school, young men nnd young
women alike, and outside of the class
es in which there particular branche"
are taught, helps to emphasize upon
the mind of the average student, the
value, dignity, and necessity of labor
and to enforce the principle that be
who would he a valuable citizen In
American, or nny other progressive
civilization, must be able and willing
to do something well, very well.

A STAND FOR NEGRO MORALITY.
The Son's great fight against the
powerful Institutions of vice called
clubs, which are carrying hundreds
of negroes Into the vortex of hell's
running stream. This paper backed j
by the strong public opinion has en
deavored to show to the people the
great evil which has arisen in their
midst by allowing these clubs and
gambling dens to run loose and
carry down to Ignonlmoua degradation
of the young men In this community.
At no time duflng the history of the
negro race alnce the civil war has
our people been threatened by such a
calamity. At no time during the his
tory of our race has the young negro
girls been exposed by being thrown
Into contact with individuals who are
fresh from these dens and seduced
them to leave their families and
home to follow the evil ways of sin.
What nre the negroes coming to
If they don't take a stand? A great
tirade is being raised. This la the
kindling of a flame that shall sweep
the city. Nero burnt the imperial
city of Rome and sent the eagles of
war to destroy the Christian bands in
Rome. But Christ said, "My word
shall live on." Empires and kingdoms
might fall and perish away. Through
all the centuries one great command
prevails, It Is the will of God. Take
courage, oh, humble negroes, send out
your legions of war and like the Goths
In their terrible march on Rome de
stroy the entire palaces where vice
I Is sapping out our very manhood. A
reform wave Is sweeping the city and
In Its mad rush let it settle upon
clubs and dens.
Forty years ago the negro was giv
en his freedom, and because of his
Ignorance nnd weakness he has been
the prey of every evil scheme. Thank
God he Is coming Into bis own. It Is
written that the clubs must go. It
Is thn hnndwrltlne on the wall. O
let us pray In 'unison that the great
spirit may settle upon us. Good Ixrd
deliver us from the entwining arms
of evil. Will the Immortal Savior
send the angels of war to devastate
and bring destruction to these great
evils to our race. In the Bhadows of
thy great walls, and in the arms of
thy loving kindness let us have pro
tection. O. lrd, will Thou hear the
prayer of thousands of negroes and
send unto us deliverance?
