board increased the assessments in the
srring of 1916 this assessment was in
creased almost 800 per cent.

JOHN MITCHELL LECTURES.

The lecture Tuesday evening, Sep
tember 26, at the Second Baptist
Church, by Mr. John Mitchell of Rich
mond, Va, editor of the Richmond
Planet and President of the Mechan-
les Bank, was largely attended and
was very interesting. He urged the
Negroes of this city to open a bank
assuring them that there was not only
a sufficient number but that they had
among them sufficient intellect to
conduct the same. A number of prom
inent men were in the receiving line.
Light refreshments were served and
the affair was highly enjoyable one.
Much credit is due DR.. Bacote for Civ
ing the people of Kansas City an op-
portunity to hear this distinguished
gentleman who is the only Negro
member of the American Bankers AS

WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN PUT
RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE
PEACE.

The supporters of Mr.. Wilson say
that the American people should vote
for him because he has kept us out of
war. It is worth while to remember
that this is a claim that cannot be
advanced either on behalf of Wash
ington or of Lincoln. Neither Wash
ington nor Lincoln kept us out of war.
Americans, and the people of the
world at large, now reverence the
memories of these two men, because,
and only because, they put righteous
ness before peace. They abhorred
war. They Stunned unjust or wanton
or reckless war. But they possessed
that stern valor of patriotism which
bade them nut duty first; not safety
first; which bade them accept war
rather than an unrighteous and disas-
trous peace. There were peace-at-any-
price men in the days of Washington.
They were the Tories. There were
peace-at-any-pri men in the days of
Lincoln. They were the Copperheads.
The men who now with timid hearts
and quavering voices praise Mr.. Will
SUI lOT HdFlHS kept US out OF war,
are the spiritual heirs of the Tories
of 1776, and the Copperheads of 1864.
The men who followed Washington at
Trenton and Yorktown, and who suf-
fered with him through the winter at
Valley Forge; and the men who wore
the Blue under Grant, and the Gray
under Lee; were men of valor, who
sacrificed everything to serve the
right as it was given them to see the
right. They spurned with contempt
uous indignation the -counsels of the
feeble and cowardly folk who in their
day spoke for peace-at-any-price.-

at Battle Creek, Michigan, in behalf
of Mr.. Hughes.

OUR soYs-oUR GIRLS.

Judge Porterfield in his address at
Lincoln High school on Sunday after
noon, September 18th, acquainted us
with the damnable facts that confront
our boys and girls, and more especial
ly those of cur boys who err in their
early childhood. While their way
wardness is very often due to their
misfortune in being born of irrespon-
sible parents, and not being properly
reared, the fact remains that through
no very real fault of their own these
conditions force them into becoming
charges of the State Reformatory, and
deprive them at a dependable age, and
for all time of a clear record of good
citizenship.
l cannot but believe that those citi-
zens of Kansas City who listened to
the story of what becomes of our
boys who are adjudged incorrigible, or
who have the misfortune, in some
moment of mischevious impulse, to
overstep the bounds of the law, will
consider the question of righting this
monstrous wrong being suffered by
our rising generation with minds open
to the gravity of the situation. These
children have not been dealt with just
ly; they are often at a disadvantage
from the moment they first begin the
struggle of life, many of them, and
even then, some children will not
succomb to the same conditions any
more than we would expect all
climates to be good for the same di,
seases.
Is it possible that the Negroes OF
Kansas City feel no responsibility fol
the present conditions at the Reform
school? The present ratio is of two
colored boys TO one white, when, ac
cording TO actual statistics there
should be four white to one coloreC
offender. The McCune farm acts as
intermediary for the former clas.
however, and is a wise alternative
that should by rights be extended t,
the Negro boys, particularly those o
tender years.
Is it not an awful thought that ou
boys at the age of eight years mus
perforce be sent to the Reform schoo
to associate wit hmore hardened Grim
inals who are STEPPED and dyed Il
