ASSOCIATION.
Get busy boys.
Every Negro in the Eighth Ward
should support William C. Hueston.
The evil that men do lives after
them. Take notice and govern your
selves accordingly.
Possibly no writer has grasped the
political situation as concisely and ac
curately as has our brilliant, corres
pondent Chas. A. Starks. Read what
he says this week. And dispute it if
you. can.
On Monday of this week there were
seven Colored teachers absent from
work' on account of illness. There are
no substitutes for the Colored schools
and the -work is embarrassed in this
way almost daily.
It should not require any intricate
organization of political machinery to
elect Hueston from the Eighth ward.
Every black voter who lays any claim
to decency and race loyalty should
vote for him without being "seen" by
the ward heelers.
White Republican voters of the
Eighth ward are also on trial. We
shall be able to see whether or not
they will stand hitched to the doctrines
of Lincoln. Grant, Garfield and JIc
Klnley. If they show the yellow
streak they cannot place the blame
upon the Negro voters.
The Editor was painea to hear of the
death of his life long friend, Prof.
Herbert Beach of Chilllcothe, Mo., last
Monday. Prof. Beach was one of the
race's most aggressive and accomplish
ed young men and his death will be a
distinct loss to the community in
which he lived. The Sun extends to
the bereaved family its deepest sym
pathy. THAT COMMUNITY SPIRIT.
There is in this town a growing
spirit to broaden as well as intensify
the work of community interests. It
is both Right and Beautiful. It is the
thing that will bring us the most en
durable Good. About five years ago
the Y. M. C. A. movement sprung in
to bigness and swept us off our feet
with its magnitudinal success. This
taught us four things with consider
able force. First, that we have re
sources, Second That we are respon
sive. Third, that wo have competent
workers. Fourth, That we can com
mand the cooperative attention of the
other race with the undoubted things
that go to make a better community
tone for us and therefore, a Greater
Kansas City for all. Since then we
have noticed Increased activities along
the same lino of uplift, all succeeding
more or less and giving confidence
and assurance ot bigger and better
things as we go. Then, too, we have
not been slow in meeting the National
ellgencles tho World War has brought
about. As a community we have
shown a reasonable patriotic spirit
and we have sought placo and oppor
tunity without waiting on the ceorcion
of the Draft.
Our contribution to the Liberty
Loan does us credit; our conduct to
wards the Red Cross was beautiful;
our Negro Hospital move was a Revel
ation in specific race effort and now
comes the Aldermanlo campaign with
its currents and cross currents, testing
whether we are strong enough to over
come tho false barriers of petty Jeal
ousies and put Kansas City in with
those Negro centers we have already
named. I, for one, believe it can be
done. Starks.
TO THE, WISE MAN.
If you have a Few Dollars to Invest
in something to help you In years to
come when old age and the rainy day
set in, I can't emphasize the fact
with sincerity enough when I tell you
to invest in real estate either city
or farm. It's tho safest, has less red
tape and pays bigger dividends on the
dollar. We have listed today on our
books over 100,000 acres of rich farm
land In all parts of the country which
might be holding In Its dells rivers ot
oil and mines ot gold for the wise in--vestbr.
We also have more than 500 lovely
homes, 300 vacant lots, a number ot
flats and business buildings we will
make over to you at surprisingly low
and easy terms which will surely
Tlease you.

THEY SAY
That It you have got to tell a man
his faults; do bo. But safety first:
use the telephone.
That there is one Ad appears in
the Sunday Star that causes a lot of
fun to be poked at tho Colored race.
That Dr. Theodore Smith's beauti
ful Drug store did the biggest business
in its history last Sunday. Well ad
vertising pays, especially when adver
tisers deliver the goods.
-That Prof. Dawley, who teaches
a bright class of boys In Allen Chapel,
Sunday school, was explaining to them
the story of Dives, the rich man and
Lazarus, the poor man; and when he
had finished a very graphic description
ho said to them, "Now boys which
would rather be, the rich bad Dives
or the poor and pious Lazarus?" One
bright young chap after studying for
a moment, spoke up and said, "I tell
you Prof. I believe I would rather be
Dives while I am alive and then be
Lazarus after I am dead.
That an old colored man named
Zenohad a savings account in a South
ern bank. One day the bank failed
and Zeno was very much perturbed
though he didn't know it by that name.
He hung around the bank, just to
be near his money, and when the re
ceiver asked him why, he answered:
"Kas Ah's got some money In dat 'ar
bank an Ah wants t' git it."
"Well," replied the receiver, 'don't
you know that the bank has to be
thoroughly examined before any of
the depositors can get their money?
Banks have failed before. This isn't
the first time a bank has busted.'
"Shore, Ah knows dat; Ah's heard
tell o' banks bustin' afore dls, but dis
heah am de fuhrst time dat a bank
evah busted right squah-in mah face."
Finally the receiver announced that
the depositors would be paid in full
in alphabetical order. Unfortunately,
a mistake had been made in figuring
and when they got down to the W's
the money gave out and Zeno lost his
savings.
However, he wasn't discouraged, i
After a couple of months he had some
more money saved up. He took it to
another bank, where he was known,
and told the cashier he wanted to
open a savings account.
"All right, Zeno," said the cashier
warmly, 'we will be glad to open an
account for you."
"Zeno nothln', drawled the old man
quickly, 'mah name ain't Zeno no moh,
mad name's Aaron.' "
