would urge more general cooper
alton of the people of Kansas City for
a large membership and closer union
OF all the forces that make for civic
betterment. The churches should get
busy. The preachers can do much to
educate public opinion that if the
rights of the race are to be safe
guarded the colored people them
selves must dare TO maintain them.
The colored people of Kansas City
and OF Missouri should not forget that
already several attempts have been
made Of Jim Grow them on both the
street cars and railroad trains. The

Kansas City Branch Hears Report
and Increases in Numbers
and Moral Strength
BY CHARLES A. sTARKs.

A goodly number met the Kansas
City Branch of the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Colored
People at Prof. ]. Dallas Bowser's
commodious home 24OO Paseo, Tues
day evening and aside from listening
to broad and comprehensive report
from. Mr.. Bowser, who was sent as
delegate to the Past Conference which
convened at Baltimore and Washing
ton, those present accomplished much
in the way of bringing out the pecu-
liar condition of Negroes in this City
and devising means to extend the
noble work of human unfit. The or
ganization stands for the people. 1t
stands for every civil right to the
Negro which this Government is sup
posed to guarantee him by virtue of
his citizenship. It extends its efforts
even to isolated cases where the hum
blest member of the race, who has
suffered mistreatment on the account
of color and has met with vital con-
sequences from an unlawful segrega-
ton. 1t would appear that the ne
cessity of this Organization is calcu-
lated to be inimical to DR.. Washing
ton, nothing is more foreign. The
great "Commoner" simply emphasizes
the industrial side whilst Dubois has
made himself conspicuous by giving
weight to the social and civil side,
these elements are not opposing hut
rather permit of broad unity.
Enlightenment and not blind faith
is the policy of the Association and
it's members have sworn not to rest
till every mountain of prejudice is
brought low and every valley of op-
pressed humbleness is exalted. The
great work that is being done is best
told in synopsis of Mr.. Bowser's re-
port:
THE REPORT.
Mr.. Bowser said 81 feel that tthe
text unless your religion shall exceed

INCORPORATION A CRIME
Senate Passes Drastic Bill Aimed at
Lobbyists of the Lamar Type

Washington, Feb. 11.-Senator
Cummins' bill designed to cure some
of the evils disclosed by the lobby in
vestigation last summer was passed
by the Senate yesterday without de-
bate. 1t would provide heavy PEN
ties for impersonators of members of
Congress or other federal officials anu
for overactive lobbyists.
The first section of the measure
would make it crime, punishable by
not more than five years imprison-
ment and not more than $4,000 fine
for any person to impersonate mem
Der or employ of Congress or officer
of the United States in communica-
tons across state lines. Under the
second section it would be a crime
punishable by not more than three
years Imprisonment and not more
than $4,000 fine for any person to
state falsely in any communications
publicly or privately, that he has in
fiuence or has brought influence to
bear upon any member of Congress
or officer of the United States con-
corning lawmaking or the execution
OF the laws, other than lawful In
fuence of right, reason and justice"
The third section would make it a
crime punishable by imprisonment
for not more than ten years and by
fine of not more than $4,000 fol.
any person to attempt to bring to
bear the influence designated in the
second paragraph.
When the bill was called up for
passage, Senator Overman, who was
said that perhaps most of the sena
tors would recognize the bill as arts
ing out of the testimony of David X.
Lamar. There was no further dis
cussion- Lamar testified before the |
lobby committee that in talks over the |
telephone with men in New York |
in the United States steel |
he had stated he was |
A. Mitchell Palmer, |
of Pennsylvania, and that he had |
talked with members of Congress
about the passage of the resolution /
for an investigation of the steel
rust" At the time 1t was recognized |
here was no federal law on the sub
ect, but Lamar was indicted under
he New York state law. He is now

A CORNER IN WHEAT.
II Didn't Take the Usual Course OF
Deals of That Nature.

Deals of That Nature.
John Willer of Scarboro township
had good crop of spring wheat one
year-almost the only good crop for
miles round. He thrashed 1t out during
the winter and cleaned it carefully,
but did not sell it, Seed wheat will be
scarce in the spring" he said to his
wife. "Ill keep it til then"
One day in April man who lived
several miles farther out in the coun-
try drove up to John Wiler's barn and
said he wanted to buy load of seed
wheat The farmer did not answer him
at once.
"You needn't be afraid, Mr.. Wlller,"
said the would be purchaser. "I've got
the money to pay for it right here"
"Now, that's just what | wanted to
know" said John Willer. and his face
frightened perceptibly; I'm glad you
told me. Lots of my neighbors need
seed this spring and haven't the cash
to pay for it, If they can't get seed
on credit they can't get it at all. and
| want to help them out But if you've
got the money you can get seed wheat
SO just drive on into town
You'll find plenty there. "-Youth's
