1t Is the place which could have taken

ago and preserved him in the condi
tion in which it presents him today
am over 80, and good breeding sug.
gested more than forty years ago, that
should address him as Uncle jim
Friend Vena did much to make our
visit pleasant and we were very glad
to renew the old acquaintance. Among
our people there is much business en-
terprfise, and we find them breaking
new ground for it. 1t was here we
met a Mr.. and Mrs. Prentice, who
were the owners and managers of the
New Idea stores, where they handled
dry goods, millinery, notions, ready
to wear garments, along with ladies'
and gents furnishings. When l say
stores do so advisedly, for they have
more than one such store. We think
it worthy of mention that we found
the Caulesberry brothers maintaining
offices and conducting a general cleo
trio business, putting in fixtures, wir-
ing houses and doing general electric
al contracting. We found many real
estate dealers who were all the term
implies. We desire to call attention
first to Milton w. Lewis, who is the
sole agent for Birch Court, which con-
tains fourteen modern bungalows
which for economy of space surpasses
anything we have ever seen. We met
a Mr. Owens who rpDresentS Owen g
estate. and we saw one of the build
ings belonging to this estate which
is said to rent for $4,000 per annum,
and we met a Mr.. Jones, who does a
real estate business and is reputed
to be worth $4,000. We saw build
ing belonging to him and which gives
him rental of S400 per month The
Owens estate is estimated to be
worth 100000. 1t would require much
more time and space than is ours to
give, to tell all the Negroes of Los
have done, and perhaps it is just as
we'll that some things they have done
be not told. Be it understood that
the Sun may leave with surety the
publicity of every discreditable thing
which the race does to hostile press
and that we are making an effort
to show just few of the really big
things the race is doing as an incent-
i've to the timid and discouraged.

slave regime every Negro believes he

completion of the Garrison Square
Field House, it was thought by some
of the Whites too magnificent a struc-
ture to be devoted to the Negro, and
the Italians made a plea for it, and a
committee of representative Negroes
appeared before the Park Board to
offer protestations against the injus-
tice, it was DR.. Thompkins who was
called upon to make the mastery
opening address that won the cause
for the Negroes.
DR.. Thompkins has also been prom
inent in fraternal organizations for
several years, being a thirty-third de-
gree Mason, U. B. F., an Odd Fellow,
and Knight of Pythias. In the last
named organization he was for six
consecutive years Grand Medical Reg
istrar of Missouri, and was offered the
nomination the seventh time, but then
being offered salary in connection
with the regular fees and refusing
again, was honored by elevation to the
office of Past Grand Chancellor.
Last year when after the Inaugural
tion of President Wilson, there seem
ed every reason why DR.. Thompkins
should have become Surgeon-in-Chief
of Freedmen's Hospital, Washington,
d. c. las in fact he would have, had
not the present incumbent been "blan-
keted" by Civil Service), Mayor Jost
gave him the highest recommendation
possible, and wished him success, say
ing, however, that his going would be
a loss not only to his people here, but
to the entire city. And what with the
noble fight made for him by Senator
Reed, and the endorsement of such
men as Senator Stone, the leader of
the Democratic party in the Senate,
Speaker Champ Clark, Third Asst.
Postmaster General Dockery, Bishop
Alexander Walters, and that OF the en-
tire Missouri Congressional delega-
tion, together with an excellent rec
ommendation from Health Commits
sioner Wheeler, and in fact the entire
city and state endorsement both pro-
fessionally and politically, hundreds
of his friends from New Hampshire to
Florida, and from Seattle to Mexico,
are hoping that President Wilson may
yet be prevailed upon to issue the ex-
ecutive order that will make it possi-
Bile for DR.. Thompkins to attain that
which is due him, the highest posi-
tion in this country for Negro ply
sician.
He is worthy of it, for his appoint
ment here means not only fitting re-
ward for his labors in this city, but
additional employment for over thirty
Negroes, and consequently making
Kansas City distinctive in having a
City Hospital in which are only Me-
groes in every capacity.

A Thought for the Week-Now is
the time to begin planning for the
Christmas trade. On account of the
war American will not be able to
import toys and novelties from Ger.
many and France. Thus we must de-
pend upon the American manufacturer
for our Christmas gifts. The colored
business man should make his plans
now to take advantage of this condi-
tion and he should not forget the Ne
gro manufacturer. Negro dolls may
be purchased in Nashville, Overton's s
toilet articles from Chicago and Pat
terson buggies from Greenfield. Just
think of the thousands who can be
made happy from these factories If
our business men push their goods at
this time. Then don't forget those
splendid books by Negro authors.
They are SO appropriate gifts.

ALLEN M, M, s,

Dear Editor: Please allow space
in your valuable paper to say few
words about the Mite Missionary So
ciety of Allen chapel, A. NJ. E. church,
Kansas City, Mo. The year 1914 is
rapidly coming to a close, and each
day records the work we have done
for the Master. There is great work
for us as Christians to accomplish,
and as missionaries we should work
together to help the unfortunate to
surerer footholds in life's way. God
has assigned this work to us. and we
cannot afford to be idle if we wish
to carry out the principle of the great
Teacher, while so many are perish
ing for the bread of life. The elec-
tion of officers took place Monday
afternoon, October 26, and resulted as
follows: Mrs. Laura A. Gilmore was
reelected president and from her past
record we feel safe to say the So
ciety will do a great, great work. Mrs.
Mary Kingsbury, first vice president;
Mrs. Eula Harrison, recording secre-
tary; Mrs. Gertrude Bruce, assistant
secretary; Mrs. Victoria Morgan,
treasurer; Mrs. Ida c. Lee, CORE
spending secretary; Mrs. Mary Bran
don, chaplain; executive committee,
Mrs. Pauline Hoffman, Mrs. Mamie
B. Wilson, Mrs. Bette Brown. Vaca-
tion is now over and we have re-
turned to our work with renewed in
terest and with a determination to do
more this year We gave 500 for the
cause of missions last year and We
hope to double the amount this year.
If you should visit our work shop
on Monday afternoon of each week
yu will find a busy set of women, for
we make and sell plain and family
aprons, caps, quilts and prepare rags
for the weaving of rugs of all de-
scriptions and theen, too, we are in
spired to do greater things by our
beloved pastor, DR.. VIM. H. Thomas,
whose presence and kind words fill
us with inspiration.

A RISING ARTIST.

Perhaps it is not generally known
that Kansas City possesses one of
the most pleasing artistic and finished
landscape painters of the race in the
person of Mr.. R, J. Rice, 1915 Tracy

hangs upon the wall of the editor has
ELECTED the warmest admiration from
all who have seen it; and he has re-
ceived much favorable comment from
connoisseurs and art critics of the
white race. The Sun predicts for him
a brilliant future.

Conversations which Judge Wright is

formed the basis of cross-eNamination
in the Wright impeachment case to-
day.
Mr.. Barnard stood by his original
declaration that the judge had used the
term laying for Patterson.
Did Judge Wright not say that
shortly after he came on the bench
Patterson had tried to mislead him and
that he had been watching him ever
sinceo"
NO replied Mr.. Barnard he did not
say that
Did you not refer to colored lawyers
being crooked as a class and state that
they ought to be disbarred?"
Il expect that | did.
Did not Justice Wright say that some
of them were respectable" continued MI.
