Owing to the ban having been put

Now that the ban is lifted let each

A WHITE BRUTE.
Some Facts in the Case of One BelIo,
Alleged Rapist.

Five year old Frances Campbell was
led into tall weeds at 25th and Vine
streets, where an assault was attempt
ed by Joseph Bello, an Italian huck-
ster, on August 20, 1918.
The assault was frustrated by the
interruption of two women, one of
whom beat him and held him until
teh police arrived and went to the sta
tion and put in the complaint.
At the preliminary hearing last
Tuesday, Justice Dougherty, attended
by many public spirited women and
men and at which the race was ably
represented by Hon. c. H. Galloway,
in spite of the clear recital of facts
by little Frances and the witnesses,
the judge took the case under advise
ment.
In the interest of justice to the
race, shall we sit idly by, in no way
assisting in bringing to justice fiends
of this type? The Sun ventures the
prediction that had the nationality of
the principal characters been reversed
the man would never have lived to
reach court. If money is needed or
counsel, in the language of the i'm
mortal Lincoln, let us give ito the
last measure of devotion" that justice
shall not perish to the earth.
The Sun is reliably informed that
the prosecutors office is vigorously
pushing this case and insisting that
justice be meted out to this man and
the 10000 Negroes of Greater Kansas
City will anxiously and closely watch
the final termination of this atrocious
crime.

This medicine is especially benefic-
ial to women and will positively cure
many of the ailments to which wo-
men are subject as we'll as give in
stant relief from pain. A consulta-
ton with DR.. Hurse will help you
wonderfully and he will frankly tell
you just what you should do. DR..
Hurse has accommodations at his
palatial and modern home, 18th and
Michigan avenue, for a number of
people and out-of-town visitors can
find no better nor more luxurious
apartments anywhere in this city.
The Reverend is prominent mem
ber of the National Baptist Conven-
tion (unincorporated) which has been
called by the Southern Baptist Con-
yention (white) to meet the National
Baptist Peace Convention to be held
in Nashville, Tenn, December ~, and
the Sun predicts that DR.. Hurse will
be one of the foremost figures in
that notable gathering of the great
est white and Colored Baptists in
America. At present Dr. Hurse is
personally conducting a great revival
at st. Stephens church and on the
first night of his revival four persons
were happily converted and great
crowds are flocking to hear him
nightly. The meeting will continue
throughout next week.
Many persons wonder why the Sun
is continually singing the praises OF
DIR. J. w. Hwse but to those who
know real men and appreciate real
merit who admire men who will stand
! up for their race, equal justice and
, fair treatment ON all occasions must
concede whatever their prejudices
that these sterling qualities are fully
epitomized in the stalwart personality
of DIR. j. w. Hurse. Any member OF
the race, however humble, is wei
come to his office and advice at all
times. And in trouble. in sorrow, OF
distress, no truer friend can be found
than the Rev. ]. w. Nurse.

WESTERN UNIVERSITY.

After a quarantine OF TOUR weeks
our school is again in full operation.
There were no cases of influenza
among our students.
Sergeant Sanders, formerly stu
dtnt of this institution and now sta
toned at Camp Dodge, attended our
chapel exercises last week and spoke
interestingly to the students.
Prof. Perry L. Jacobs, teacher of
Agriculture and football coach, left
last Monday for Camp Taylor, where
he has been appointed to duty as ''Y"
secretary. Though we regretted very
much to lose Prof. Jacobs, we are glad
to know that he is to enter field of
such usefulness and he carries the
best wishes of faculty and students.
The Rev. j. G. G. Owens, DID,, one
of our trustees, now pastoring at Leav-
enworth, was visitor Tuesday.
Prof A. H. Jones of the Theological
Department offered a prize of one
dollar to the first of our boys to carry
the pigskin over Libertys goal. Will
son Green was the happy recipient.
Mrs. Minnie Robertson gave a pie to
each member of the team.
The first of our monthly rhetoricals
was held last Friday evening in the
auditorium of the Studio Building. The
attendance was large and the program
exceedingly well rendered. These
programs will be given on the first
Friday evening of each month and it
is the hope of the University that we
may have goodly attendance from
the community and the Kansas Cities.

In the second quarter, Liberty
threatened to score again, but West

warded off all attacks. In the third
quarter Western assumed the often

The fourth quarter opened with
both teams fighting desperately. With

Among the potent factors in the
religious, political and business world
in greater Kansas City, no man stands
out with more force and unchanging
popularity than does the Rev. j. w.
Hurse, d. d.. the esteemed pastor of
St. Stephens Baptist church, and the
owner and representative of Mackeys
Wonderful Liniment that has wrought
some marvellous cures according to
the testimony of reliable persons in
the past year. According to these
people DR.. Hurse is doing some won
derful healing that borders on the
divine because he believes that
prayer, the power of God and the pro-
per medicines will heal any disease.
He sells great quantities of the fam
GUS Mackeys Liniment at his labora-
tory daily and people both at home
and abroad are singing it's praises.
During Mr.. Hurse's recent visit in
the Southland he appointed as his
agent at Memphis, Tenn, Mr.. G. W.
Logan, deacon and clerk of one of the
most prominent Baptist churches in
that great city and has received from
Mr.. Logan the following voluntary
testimonial from prominent and well
known people of that city.

Soldiers Should Keep up Insur.
arlce

Washington, Nov. 27-As SOL
diers are demobilized, effort will
be made to impress on them the
desirability of their continuing
payments on their government
voluntary life insurance, which
can be maintained for five years
after peace, even though the SOL
der has returned to civil life.
This win be done by insurance
agencies in the army, working to-
gether with authorities of the
Treasury's War Risk Insurance
Bureau.
Secretary McAdoo in a state.
ment has urged soldiers to retain
their insurance to protect theil
families and to retain the right tc
convert this into other forms to
be provided by the government
An additional reason, it is said, is
the Treasury's desire to make Of
the soldiers and sailors insur
ance a demonstration that govern
ment life insurance is successful
and can be extended.
81 desire to remind all Ameri
cas- soldiers and sailors, !" said
Mr.. McAdoo's statement, "that il
is their opportunity and their pri
vilege to keep up their insurance
with the United States Govern
ment after the war has officially
terminated and even after they
have returned to civil life.

surance is annual, renewable tern

manent disability. Under the pro.

visions of the War Risk Act, ev-
cry person holding this insurance
may keep it up in this form even
after he leaves the service, for a
period Of five years. All that is
necessary is the regular payment
: Of premiums.
moreover, the law provides
that not later than five years af-
ter the termination of the war as
declared by Presidential procla-
nation, the term insurance shall
be converted, without medical ex-
animation, into such form or
forms of insurance as may be pre-
scribed by regulations and as the
insured may request. This insur-
ance will continue to be Govern
ment insurance.
"The advantages of keeping
this insurance in force cannot be
emphasized too strongly. T h e
right to continue it is a valuable
right given by the government to
our fighting men as compensation
for their services. If this right is
lost by allowing insurance to lapse
it can never be regained. When
government insurance is allowed
to lapse the holder cannot again
obtain insurance except from pri-
vate companies at considerable
increase in cost. Moreover many
of the men may have become un-
insurable as a result of the war
through physical impairment, and
if these allow their insurance to
lapse they will lose the last oppor-
tunity for their families to have
the protection of life insurance. /"
