We were the recipients last week of
an interesting little volume of eighty
pages neatly hound entitled Facing
the Many Scenes of Time by Rev.
T. B. Gardner, which contains an in
teresting and Illuminating account of
the life of the author and incidents
connected Herewith from 1851 to the
present. 1t would be well for every
member of the race in this state tc
secure a copy of this most interest
ing little booklet.

Preparations are being made for the
cornerstone laying on the new build
ing. It is expected that the time will
be set this week so that it may be
made public. DIR. j. E. Mooreland is
expected to be present at this big
celebration and tell us of the progress
being made in other cities that have
had building campaigns, We hope by
this time to reach the 100000 mark
and thus be able to celebrate the re-
ceiving of Mr.. Rosenwald's check at
the same time.

With magic wand the United States
has waved the war cloud up from be-
low the horizon. The dignity Of the
nation has been t~ransgressed by an
irresponsible act in Mexico for which
apology was promptly made. The
apology was not sufficient.
1t is no insult to the flag when an
innocent black citizen is burned alive
al the stake. Lynching does not dis
turb the tranquil dignity of liberty.
These are small matters, SO small
that, for example, the Louisville daily
papers did not eve mention the fact
that a white census taker raped a
1~6-year-old colored girl whom he found
alone in her home the other day. But
with the Mexicans it is different, the
brown, greasy things! Our great ma
ton will brook no offense from them.
They must know, even If at the bayo-
net point, that We are a people who
dwell upon conventionalities and that
the slightest detail Of our citizenship
is more precious than our blood.

There is a reason why the larger
per cent of Cabinet Stationary used
by Kansas City's "400' is turned
from the Arthur w. Harris Printing
Establishment. First their work.
manship in this class of service Is
unexcelled by any of the larger and
best equipped printing establish
ments in this city, since they all but
make a speciality of this class of
work. Second, while their prices are
not always the lowest, they are al
ways the fairest. They have de
livered" with accuracy and despatch
to over 80 per cent of the classy
weddings and receptions during the
past year and now when a function
of class is announced its a ten-to-
one shot that Harris will handle the

The total amount of money collect
ed to date is ~$15,272.95. This leaTes
a balance of s1,727.O5 needed to reach
the 100000 mark, which we must
reach in order to claim Mr.. Rosen-
wald's check for $25, OOO.O 90. If those
who have not paid in full would visit
the building site we feel that no eff.
fort would be spared on their part
to contribute to the fund needed to
keep the work going as it has started.
We can't afford to let it stop.

We regret that Miss Ethel Smith,
who has played for the class weekly
for over six months, had to retire
ere the close of the gym year, but
it is probable that she is busy with

has at least had the joy of volunteer
service which is a privilege for all
girls in the Association.
