WHY SO TO CHURCH?

Whoever habitually neglects to attend the house of God has robbed himself of one of the. very greatest forces any man can have. God has ordained certain means through which His spirit can help us. There is nothing that can take the place of song, sermon, meditation. If there are any good impulses left in a man,
 these will be stirred by what he gets at the house of God. No man could do himself a greater injustice than to constantly ab- sent himself from the place of

A DAYLIGHT HoLDUP.
DR.. .Jaqueth of Council Grove Is Out
$40 and Watch.

Alden. Kan, Sept. 1o.-A supposed
joke turned out to be a real hoIdup at
Council Grove. Two men held up DR..
,Jaqueth in broad daylight, getting a
watch and ten dollars and then
marched him a mile into the country,
where they turned him loose.
After the holdup- they escaped the
officers at Council Grove and boarded
a freight train east. The train crew
put them off west, of Comiskey. They
came on afoot to Alden and ate break
fast with some movers south or town.
Then they went east toward Admire.
The officers of Bushong, Allen and Ad-
mire were away. The sheriff phoned
Ira Jones and deputized him and
George Wagner to take them. The
robbers had gone into Admire, bought
lunch and had gone to some timber
west of Admire to eat 1t where they
were decoyed by some boys from Ad-
mire until officers from Alden came
up.
When the officers demanded them to
throw up their hands they pulled out
their revolvers and began firing. The
officers returned the fire and several
rounds were exchanged. One or the
officers guns was disabled by bullet
hitting the cylinder. The robbers lert
coat. hat and some money in the
coat and escaped into a cornfield,
which was surrounded by armed men.

Remarkable Campaign Docu-
ment Is Made Public.
An Attack on Negroes by John
III. Atwood.
MR.. FAXON EXPLAINS.
Senator Long Not Back of Gree.
u ley County Revolt.
Chairman DOlley Issues an APP
peal for Funds.

One of the most remarkable docu-
ments which has come to light during
the present campaign, and one which
will probably put it out of the power
of the Democratic party to get any
support from the negro voters of Kan
sas, is statement published over the
signature of John H. Atwood of Leav-
enWorth, recommending the disfran-
chisement Of negro voters in Kansas.
Mr.. Atwood is the Democratic ma
tiOnal committeeman from Kansas,
and chairman of the Democratic ma
tional speakers bureau. In his re-
markable statement Mr.. Atwood de-
clares that negroes are a social and
political menace to the state" He
declares that the people of Kansas are
more than weary of the mixed
schools. He says that the time has
come for the people of Kansas to join
with the people of Missouri in restrict
ing negro suffrage.
Altogether it is just such a cam
paign document as the Republican
state central committee will take a
good deal of pleasure in giving full
publicity among the negroes of Kan
sas. The politicians can't understand
Mr.. Atwood's object in making such a
sweeping attack on the negro race Just
on the eve of the campaign.
The Atwood statement was first
puDuSneQ III Inc Kansas CITY POST, a
Democratic newspaper. The state
ment follows:
by one of those stranges ironies of
fate which sometimes overtake the
benefactors of individuals, peoples or
races, the state of Kansas, which has
done more, perhaps, for the negro
than any other state in the union, is
now suffering a grievous political
wrong from the hands of the freed
man and his descendants.
William A. Harris would now be
Governor of Kansas had it not been
for the ignorant negro vote. and there
have been times in the past when the
Democratic party could have elected
it's state ticket had it not been for the
ignorant black vote of Kansas City
Leavenworth, Atchison, Lawrence and
Topeka.
There was time when the negro
vote was not considerable factor in
Kansas politics, but that time has
passed. The influx of negroes from
the south. the rapid multiplication of
those native to Kansas soil. and the
increasing insistence of the negro
upon social equality, make the Kansas
negro not only political factor, but
a social and political menace. 4
