A new and interesting venture that
has passed the experimental stage is
the Open Air School for Negro Chill
dren, located at Lincoln Ward School
and established September 10, 1917,
under the auspices of the Anti-Tuber-
culosis Society. Mr.. Walter Root
president of the organization, has
spared no pains, time or money to
make this experiment a success, and
has been ably assisted by Prof. ]. E.
Herriford, Miss Grace White, Miss
Beatrice Sydnor and DR.. T. c. Brown
The ages of the children attending
this school are from 8 to a. Much
of the success of this undertaking is
due to the tireless energy of DR.. T. C.

RACE REPRESENTATION.
By Chas. A. Starks.

Your attention is called to the eff
forts that are being made to elect a
Negro Alderman in one or several
wards of this city. The time is Ripe,
Full and Supreme-Every Negro is ex-
pected to do his duty. This is the
day for everything that is progress
sive. If World Democracy is all that
its advocates claim for> it, then it is
bound to spell this much for a sub
merged class: Taxation with Repre-
sentation-Votes also Offices-Unre-
sericted Industrial Opportunity-Pr

tice. These are the things we expect
to realize Immediately, If you please.
But we expect to work and fight

actions of Patriotism and the Draft
Laws of our Country as Good
citizens and at the same time extri-
cate ourselves from the position of a
Football in this same Country's So
cial, Economic and Political schemes.
We are tired of being mis-represent-
ed, or rather not being represented at
ali. We want someone, in all branch
es of endeavor. to make intereession
for this Race of ours. We believe it
is imperative.
Remember, White men will never,
never give or allow you these things
willingly, therefore, we must proceed
to take them and we are. Chicago,
New York Baltimore, New Jersey and
Others are glorious instances of such.
Now why not Kansas City? Mr..
Roosevelt tells us that: Mine tenths
of Wisdom is being Wise in time"
We will heed this injunction and do
some intelligent campaigning for Race
representation in the City Council.
We deserve tive have right to do

NEGROES BACK ON THE JOB.
Management Well Satisfied With the
Change That Was Caused
by Walkout.

Wednesday was day of thrills"
for the Hotel Baltimore as a result
of the strike of white walters and
their replacement by Negro walters.
1t was breakfastless morning at the
hotel and there was a similar void at
luncheon time, but there was rythmic
step and ur5ane service in the various
dining rooms of the big hotel at night
for Negroes were at work
The Baltimore formerly employed
Negro walters, but changed to white
service, taking on crew of mixed
nationalities-sort of congress of
natiops," as Manager Newhart ex-
presses it.
NOW" said Manager Newhart, 1--WE
have an all-American crew."
Hardly had the Negroes become set
tied in their work when the strikers,

Further on the same paper says:
Tennessee burned her human be-
ings as a closing feature of her 1917
civilization. Mississippi opened up her
lid for recognition by a fire at the
stake in the early days of 1918.
Tennessee, not to be outdone, comes
