FRIENDS.

All of those who heard Prof. Free
man Sunday morning at Shorter
church were much pleased at mis- solo,
but if they had had the opportunity
to meet him socially their true feel
ing toward him would be deepened.
AT Mrs. Norwood's lovely little resi-
dent at 1927 Gilpin street happened
onet of the pleasantest receptions yet
given in that neighborhood, which
was given in the honor of Prof. Free
man of St Louis, Mo-, and Mrs. Nor.
woods sister, Miss Bdna Eizzel of
Oklahoma. The party of people were
composed of our best young ladies
and men of our city, who took part in
an impromptu program, in the per.
sons of Misses Marguerite Jackson,
Rhoda Anderson, Mrs. Norwood and
Profs. Freeman and Jones of Dallas,
Texas. The prominent strangers
present were Mesdames McCarrol,
Harper of Kansas City. Miller of
Lawrence, Kansas, and Miss Clump
of Topeka, Kansas. Light refresh
ments, funny stories and many pleas
antries were the consequence of the
evening. Mrs. Rice, with her sweet
congenial disposition, gave all audi-
tional feature to the pleasing affair
Prof. Freeman and Miss Jacksonis
colos will be always remembered.
The Crystal had the service of two
of our vaudeville stars, Whaley and
Scott.

1T MAY BE OUR NEEDS ARE NOT
1aT UNDERSTOOD.

1t is useless to kick against the
pricks 1t will serve no purpose to
rail against the fire and police board
for its refusal to grant to colored min
listers the permit to erect a Gospel
tent, while at the same time it gives
this permission to whites. The power
rests with the board to do as it pleas
es with matters that require licenses,
and if one does not understand, he
must be satisfied with surmises. Yet
We beg leave to lay before this honor
able board some facts which bear upon
this situation.
The improvement of the morals and
the saving of the souls of black men
and women means added industrial ef-
ficiency and lessened crime, distinct
financial gain to the community. Color
prejudice denies us the benefit OF the
Y. M. C. A., the Y. w. C. A. and the
contact with the highly cultured and
educated people of our city and state.
Our birth and environment has de-
prived us family and class pride, our
poverty excludes us from the educa-
ton and culture that those better sit
uated may enjoy And yet despite
our handicap, we must battle against
the accusation that we are peculiarly
criminal and must lift the lower class
es of our own race with the poor
means at our command So, far from
being denied this privilege, the board
of fire and police commissioners would
have been doing the community a dis
tinct service to have granted it. We
trust that we are not so race con-
scious as to always believe that it is
our color that is looked at by the Of
ficers of the law. In fact this paper
has said that on many occasions the
administration of Mayor Speer had
disregarded color in its treatment of
us. 1t is too much to hope tnat every
one in it will walk on so high plane.
AS for instance we cited few months
ago the case of Tarpey, the upstart
politician, in charge of the bath house,
who has been so insolent and DOWN
right dirty in his management there
that Negro cannot go even on the
special day set apart for us, without
risking his health, or submitting to in
suit. Yet speaking for the fire and po-
lice board, we have had personal con-
tact with Commissioner Earl Hewitt,
and Commissioner Barton and our
opinions of them and their records
both lead us to believe that the boards
refusal to grant the ministers per
init arose from lack of understanding
of our race needs rather than from
pretudice. 1t is not fair to tell us
we should assist the authorities in Sc.
curing obedience to the laws and de-
prive us of the opportunities to exert
moral suasion., The people are gener-
ously debauched by conditions that
laws cannot counteract, and the forces
for good should not be hampered
where a. point can be stretched in
their behalf :
Gipsy Smith and his Auditorium
meetings from the unusual character
they had, reached many who were
otherwise beyond the church's sphere
of influence, and so would a tent
meeting be with us.

shi that very few of our members
know anything of Jewish history Now
according to my statistics, we had
twenty-six history and Bible classes,
at which the attendance was never
over twenty, and most of the time less
than nine, five of whom were DR.. Will
ner, the President, his wife, his sister
and brother Max neither of whom
needed the study as much perhaps as
most members of the Society. This
lack of attendance proves an old say

it is the belief of the writer that it is
next to impossible to have good at

shi was aware that these meetings
took place every Thursday, saw him
only one single time at these meetings.
OF course a doctor never takes his
own medicine, but if Chofshi is so anx-
ious for others to learn Jewish history
he should encourage the classes by his
presence and also see to it that others

the feelings of the membership, pas
and present, as the much talked about
socials were instituted by the found
ers of the Society One of the first
things the Society did was to create
the offices of Chairmen of Entertain
ment and Literary Committee. (See
Art. II, Constitution and By-laws.)
The name of the Society is a fix
ture and as long as this body of intel
lgent young Jewish people exists, it
will be called the Jewish Literary So
ciety.
l would ask the writer of the article
if he was one of the founders of the
Jewish Literary Society? Certainly
not!
If he were, he would be we'll pleased
with the work that is being done; out
of eleven debates, nine were Jewish
subjects, while two were subjects deal
ing with the United States, of which
every Jew, especially those living in
this country, should be proud.
NOW as to the valentine dance, I
cannot see any harm in calling it by
that name, as long as it pleases the
members of the Society, by this | mean
one hundred and eight out of two hun
dred and fifteen.
l see nothing was mentioned of the
Succoth and Chanuka socials that took
place last fall. OF course they needed
no mention as they were in line with
Jewish thought and ethics.
1t has already been stated and truly
so, that nine out of eleven debates
were Jewish subjects, that we have
had Jewish papers read at all of our
literary meetings is equally true. Do
you want us to read in Yiddish or
Hebrew? Not over twenty per cent of
our members would understand either
language, and as this country is gov

JEWISH LITERARY SOCIETY'S ACTIVITIES

AS President of the j. L. S., l feel
it my duty to answer to what
consider wicked attack upon the
officers and members of this Society.
This attack was evidently made by
one not conversant with the work done
by the Society, inasmuch as it is of
record that in the last seventeen
months the following meetings were
held in our rooms:
Board Meetings, "a; Quarterly Meet
ings, 6; Debates, IL; Bible Glasses and
History, &c; Musicales, q other Litera
ry meetings, II; socials and dances,
10; lectures proposed, 8, not to men
ton the Glee Club rehearsals, of
which there were quite good
many. There was seven outings in
which the Club participated, as fol-
lows:
Hay Rides, 2; Wagonette Ride,1;
Kodaking Party, |; Watermelon Par
ties, 2. From the above report (Which
is of record in our minutes), it would
seem that ours is still Literary Soci-
ETY. and not a kindergarten for Terpsi-
chorean artists, as my friend the edi-
tor, would call it in short editorial
of last week.
Now | would like very much to take
up this article, one paragraph at
time, and in answer to the first para
graph will say that no hammering on
this Society has ever been done, nor
was it necessary, as this Society, to
my way of thinking, has strictly adj
hered to it's bylaws up to the present
time, and l can assure CHOFSHI that
should the bylaws, as made by the
twenty members who founded this So
ciety, no longer be suitable to govern
a Society of 215 members, steps will
be taken by it's present membership
to change same to suit the wants Of
the Society as it now stands.
There seems to be no difference in

ton cases in the court last week.
the Record endorsed what Mr..
Ship did in the premises, fining
to the extreme, white woman
for illicit relations with a colored
man. but criticised Mr.. Shipp
and showed that the reform po-
lice magistrate is not sincere.
Here is what the Record said 10

Public opinion will endorse
the severity of the police magis-
trate's judgment in the misceg.
enation case mentioned.
But here is another case al.
most similar.

said to be farmer from Farm

illicit relationship with Susie
