Another Roman Catholic Church In the
West For Afro Americans,


Within the past decade the Roman
Catholic church In the United States
has gained large following among
Afro-Americans. New impetus was
given in this direction in the early
spring Of this year by Father John
E. Burke. director general of the
Catholic board for mission work among
Afro-Amevicans throughout the coun-
try.
1t is Father Burke's aim to raise
100000 annually until sufficient
number of suitable edifices shall have
been erected for worship and for the
maintenance of schools for the educa-
Ton of those who are to study for the
priesthood and subsequently become
leaders in the work among Afro-Amer-
leans
There has been a Roman Catholic
church for our people in st. Louis.
Mo-, for the past twenty-five years.
Another was opened In cottage In
Kansas City. Mo-, the latter part of Oc-
tober. 1t is stated that new edfice
will soon be erected in its stead at
cost of 100000.
Miss katherine Drexel Of Philadel-
phia recently gave $4,000 toward the
sum necessary for the erection of the
new building. This enabled Father
Burke and those associated with him
to begin the work in Kansas City
sooner than was expected.
In speaking of the possibilities OF the
movement. Father Burke says the Ne
gro needs the Catholic church and IT Is
our duty to convert and educate him
The church In Kansas City will be
known for the time being as st. Moni-
cas- mission.

SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION
IN FL0URISHING STATE.
Miss !. L. Moorfnan Speaks at Forty.
second Annual Meeting.
BY N. BARNETT DoDsoN,

While the political situation in the
various states and municipalities
throughout the country is engaging the
attention Of the male portion of our
citizens. our female adherents are none
the less active.
The woman suffrage movement is
gaining strength both in numbers and
In influence. Its advocates seem deter
mined not only to get fair hearing,
but to get the ballot. This was thor.
oughly demonstrated at the recent
convention Of the New York State Suf
trage association held at Niagara Falls.
Afro-Americ&n women were ably
represented by Miss Irena L. Moor
man Of Brooklyn. Miss Moorman is
the organizer for the Afro American
branch of the Political Equality asso.
citation. Of which Mrs. Oliver II. P.
Belmont is president.
AS duly elected delegate Miss
Moorman was called upon by the pres
ldeut Of the convention to speak, al
though not on the program of speak
ers. In responding to the request Miss
Moorman said in part:

The first public invitation was given to

whether Democratic or Republican. Our
men have been walking on a string of
promises for the last forty-eight years
with but few exceptions. You claim
that the women are the weaker of the
sexes You also say that equal suffrage
means the square deal for every people

If you mean all you say l can assure
you that you will have the fullest sup

Phillips and other white men who gave up
their lives for justice went to war and
dyed the American flag in their blood
That the women Of his race. along with

Remember. don't do anything for us
because we are colored men and women,
but make 1t humanitari, n because 1t Is
right, and, remember. we are working for
the good of all humanity regardless Of

.EUCALY PRTUS TREES
THRIVE At VEGAS

The eucalyptus tree, which has
been growing so successfully in Cal.
ifornia, is peculiarly adapted to the
dry and semi-arid section and
for this reason great hopes are
based upon the attempts to localize
it in Clark County.
Experiments have been made
with both the Australian blue gum
and the New Zealand eucalyptus.
The former has thus far proven the
more satisfactory, but it is under
stood that there is a variety in
Africa which possesses all the
good qualities of both the Austral-
ian and New Zealand types, yet is
more hardy and can stand greater
excuses Of heat and cold.
Around Las Vegas the people are
planting a great number Of gum
trees and they are growing well,
but the people there make the mis-
take of watering the trees too
heavily. They really do not need
any irrigation to speak Of or none
at all after the tap root gets down
to moisture. 1t is possible to pro-
duce a grove with in ten years, for
the trees grow very rapidly.
The trees can be topped frequent
ly and the wood used for fuel.
Splendid mining timbers can be
made from the eucalyptus, which
do not shrink, waterlog or rot, and
will stand tremendous pressure.
The leaves are also very valuable
for medical use. The tree is ex-
tremely ornamental and serves to
conserve moisture as wellas act for
a wind break and shelter for cattle.

The Topeka preachers recently
opposed the election of Mayor Bill
lard upon the gounds that they did
not think he would enforce the
Sunday ant-labor law. Now they
are wiser. the new mayor says
preaching on Sunday for pay, sing
ing in church choir for compensa-
ton and the playing Of the church
organ for money all violate the law
as much as the work of actors,
stage-hands and orchestras, now
porhibited, so he has stopped them
all. The preachers made scratch,
but the mayor discounted them two
to one.

How Old People

AT advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-

Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
