DIGNlFiED CHRISTMAS GIFTS

At the Harris Printing establish
ment, 1916 E. 18th ST., Kansas City,
Mo-, will be found as usual this sea-
son line of Christmas cards which
will not be shown by other small es-
tablishments in this city. To those
who have learned that value in Christ
mas gifts are by far the secondary
consideration. That sentiment is all
in all, we would ask to look over this
line and place their orders prior to
December in order that their deliv-
cries may be made in ample time.
This beautiful line of embossed. en-
cravings can be seen daily at the
above named establishment. 1t costs
you nothing to view these beauties
even should you fail to order. You
will find the customary courteous at
tention in evidence. The management
| invites you to come.

average Chicagoan enthusiastically
verifies this statement. Now is Kan

studied SOCIAL POISE? The spirit
of our better element seems to say:
I'VE have our good, bad and indiffer-

cannot be cabareter and a Sunday

Kansas City discriminates properly
between those who would build up so

moral and immoral. A few vainlN

The equilibrium of society must al
ways depend not upon the arts and
sciences, the purely social intercourse
of units, the fads, fancies or polite
follies, but upon the solid rock of
clean-cut morality without which the
whole scheme or social fabric must
collapse. Simmered down, it is tire
proverbial test between right and
wrong. The inevitable contest for SUI
premacy between the votaries of
each. If right wins there is cleanness
and advancement. If wrong wins
there is corruption and backwardness.
This may appear high sounding but If
you thought a little more about your
own environment and in what atmos-
phere you live, what bearing it has
upon your life, and the chances you
have of absorbing the good and es-
chewing the evil then this subject
would become all important to you
Social poise would have meaning.
As a rule we are so busy fighting
for sheer existence which our fair
brothers strenuously contest with us
that we pay little attention to phases
Of our own immediate society. It's bal
ance, it's ascendancy or its retrogres
sive tendencies. For instance did you
know that we of Kansas City have {
better social poise than our windy
city Chicago? Why? Because we have
our strong distinctive classes baset
upon moral nicely whereas Chicago
boasts of its homogeneity. Recently

BILL TO, LET NEGROES VOTE
Penrose Measure Would Prevent Dis
franchisement Of the Negro.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Senator Pen
rose, Republican of Pennsylvania, to-
day introduced measures which he said
were designed to prevent the disfran-
chisement of the Negro in Southern
states. One of the bills is the old
Force BILL" giving supervision of
elections to the federal authorities,
which caused a bitter fight and pro-
longed filibuster in Congress twenty
six years ago He also offered an
amendment to the corrupt practices
bill, now before Congress, which
would amplify the provisions of the
Force bill.
Senator Penrose's measure provides
that all elections must be conducted
under federal supervisors, appointed
by the United States courts. No mill
tary force shall be used at any cleo
ton, the bill says, unless it be nee
essary to repel the armed enemies of
the United States or to keep the peace
at the polls" Severe penalties are
provided for interference with cleo
tions.
