Its Spiritual slanlflcance.

Its Spiritual Significance.
BE a man. was the recent injunc-
ton to the colored Kansas Cityans.
Giving this a spiritual turn, demon
state that you are man; the child
of Heaven; the Son of Light-of the
living Truth, rather than of darkness,
of ignorance, or despair.
The Negro Poet.
All great races have produced their
several poets. In order to Go this
you must have great men and noble
women. In order to have great men
and noble women you must have
beautiful lives in the many to inspire
greatness and nobleness. The soul of
the poet is caught up in this onward
march, and cannot but sing Of these
things, thus immortalizing the mighty
works of God in man and preserving
them unto posterity.
The Spirit Of the Times.
The light of investigation is being
turned on the action of all men in all
walks of life. No longer can men
hide behind a false dignity Of office
or station. The empty theory that
the King can do no wrong is proven
ridiculous.
How It Happens.
Give the Negro something to read;
something to vivify his hopes; some
thing to stir the deeper workings of
thought; give him instances of bust
ness successes of well-managed en-
terprises, and, in proportion as the
paper reaches the verile mind of the
reading public, it is bound to inspire
a reasonable emulation on the part of
the readers. The dailies will take
care of the races defects and fail
ures. With due notice to the same let
us also emphasize his glories and sue
cesses-incidentally, the Sun has
handsomely increased circulation and
is spreading the Gospel of practical
Optimism.
Delivering the Goods.
Let the Negro BID with a decent
competition along with the "other fell
low where opportunities are equal or
better, and we will call him a bust
ness man worthy of the patronage of
his race and all men. That the Negro
does not do this is quite evident, yet
he is being compelled to or else he
has to step down.
To the Church Worker.
When raising any question relative
to church affairs is it mo- we'll to ask
| yourself these pertinent questions:
| Am l seeking to manifest a loving
work for the good of my brother and
! my sister, or am l moved by some
personal motive to bring prestige or
self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT? Too seldo mare
these questions brought home!
The Value in Dreaming.
Sweet dreams which come to us by
night
Are born of thoughts which beautify
the day;
They bring to us a serener light,
And sprinkle here and there a celes-
tial ray.
Ye! the r~evealers of nobler things,
Silently in solitude's enchanted
state;
You weave the airy thought which
brings
The happy augurs of coming fate.

Nearly every sort OF musical entertain

willie numbers and a minstrel show. This
is followed by a series of selected scenes
from the opera Faust" The Webb Elec-
trical Pictures are the latest device for
combining motion pictures with sound.
The sounds are recorded at the same
time that the action is photographed. and
an electrical device is utilized to co-ordi-
nate the two somewhat similar ar

and reproduce the sounds. The matter Of
maenlfying the sound sufficiently to make
II fill a large auditorium without seeming
mechanical is difficult one.
in the Webb pictures special con-
trivance makes Use of electrical vibra-
tions to accomplish this Certain types OF
sounds, such as the notes of xylophone
and the middle register Of soprano

While the Webb pictures cannot be de-
scribed as a perfect solution of the prob
lem they represent decided progress.
