LOUD TALKING.
Another Endorsement From a Well
Known Citizen.

Another Endorsement From a Well
Known Citizen.
1 wish to congratulate one Mr.. Joe
E. Hereford for the article he in
serted in your valuable paper. If ever
a nan spoke the truth Mr.. HEREFORD
is one, and there is no getting around
it. 1t is a fact there are more loud
mouthed people of color in Kansas
City than l have ever had the dis
pleasure of seeing anywhere else.
They don't only talk loud and
~boisterous in their homes, but on the
street as well. One can go to any
part of Kansas City with few excep-
tons where the race is thickly popu-
lated and certainly feel ashamed OF
some of the races actions.
They don't seem to have fore
thought enough to realize that they
are making had matters worse. The
boys who play on the streets at the
Paseo forever use the word mig.
ger" and the men on the street are
just as bad about the use of that
~despicable word niger" Their con
versation and speech in general
should be recorded by a distograph,
perhaps they then would fully realize
how badly it really sounds to others,
One can go to Chicago, the town in
which l live, and you would never see
nor hear such carrying on as you dc
here. Although Kansas City is my
home town I can't feel proud of it.
l wish also to call your attention to
a few facts pertaining to Kings
amusement garden located on 18th at
Lydia. Without a doubt it's the filth.
lest place in Kansas City and you
know that is saying a whole lot. ]
think a committee of business men
of Color should call on that fellow
Killing and try to induce him to i'm.
prove accommodations at his show or
have him boycotted. It's a disgrace to
humanity. The performance is very
nice but that old delapidated place
with old rusty tents on the side; to
say nothing of the place called a
lobby is a crying disgrace.

HOT WEATHER RULES FOR
HORSE.

1. Load lightly, and drive slowly.
2. Stop in the shade if possible.
8. Water your horse as often as
possible. So long as a horse is work
ing, water in small quantities will not
hurt him. But let him drink only. a
few swallows if he is going to stand
still. Do not fail to water him at
night after he has eaten his hay.
4. When he'comes in after work,
sponge off the harness marks and
sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth,
and the dock. Wash his feet but not
his legs.
5. If the thermometer is rs de-
rec or higher, wipe him all over
with a damp sponge, using vinegar
water if possible. Do o wash the
horse at night.
6. Saturday night, give a bran
mash, lukewarm; and add a table
spoonful of saltpetre.
Z. Do not use a horse-hat, unless il
is a canopy-top hat. The ordinary
bell-shaped hat does more harm than
good.
8. A sponge on top of the head, or
even a cloth, is goo diff kept wet. If
dry it is worse than nothing.
8. If the horse is overcome by
heat, get him into the shade, remove
harness and bride, wash out his
mouth, sponge him all over, shower
his legs, and give him two ounces of
aromatic spirits of ammonia, or two
ounces of sweet spirits of nitre, in a
pint of water; or give him a pint of
coffee warm. Cool his head at once,
using cold water, or, if necessary,
chopped ice, wrapped in a cloth.
10. If the horse is off his feed, try
him with two quarts of oats mixed
with bran, and a little water; and add
a little salt or sugar. Or give him
oatmeal Cruel or barley water to
brink.
Ii. Watch your horse. If he stops
sweating suddenly, OF if he breaches
short and quick, or if his ears droop,
or if he stands with his legs braced
sideways, he is in danger of a heat or
sun stroke and needs attention at
once.
II, If 1t is so hot that the horse
sweats / n the stable at night, tie him
outside, with bedding under him. I'm
less he cools off during the night, he
cannot well stand the next days heat.

France-Gets $4,000.

Brooklyn, N. Y, July 17.-Rev. w.
Spencer Carpenter, pastor of the
Bridge Street A. M. E. church, is a

The pastor invited the hero" to
address his congregation at night.
Sergeant Johnson" left saying he
had to speak at the Y. M. C. A. in the

in the church to hear his thrilling
narrative. After it was all over they
raised a collection of S31 for the
"hero.'
The mex day someone remarked to
Rev. Mr.. Carpenter Sergeant John
son" did not look like the one he

The Sun is in receipt of a very in
teresting letter from two of our most
popular physicians, Drs. d. M. Miller
and M. G. Brookins who with their
wives have been touring the West
during the past 80 days. They write
that all are enjoying good health and
have been having a grand time. They
have visited Denver, Colorado Springs
Pueblo, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Ogden, Chey-
enne and Yellow Stone Park and that
1t has been the treat of their lives.
While at Los Angeles they visited San
ia Barbara, San Monica, Catil.ne Is
lands, the Busch Sunken Gardens, the
various Parks, ocean beach and other
points Of interest in that beautiful
city. Their wives have enjoyed every
moment of their visit and the Doctors
expect to return home by August LIST
to resume their splendid practice.
They send their regards to their pa
tients and friends.

en- for formal entertainment but the
sas City men were quickly put into
motion and on Tuesday evening a de-
lightful stag luncheon was rendered
at the Y. M. G. A attended by over
forty of the men about town who do

ter Of ceremonies at this informal af.
fair and short talks were made by
Grisham, Crews, Hereford, Coles,
Hueston, Knox, Shackelford, Harri-
son, Bowser, Perry, Lee and others.
President Richardson in his brief
talk outlined his ambitions in his new
position. He offered himself as the
strict servant of the whole people
without any self adulation or self
gloryification. He indicated his de-
sire to carry out the modern ideas of
industrial education and at the same
time maintain a strong academic de-
partment for those better fitted for
the higher literary and scientific cul-
ture. The school will not be one-sid-
ed if the new President can prevent
it.
He has heen given a free rein in
selecting his faculty and will endea-
vor to secure the services of the very
best available teachers for each de-
partment. Much Roadway has already
been made in this direction.
The Kansas City people have pledg,
ed to DR.. Richardson their unquali,

long looked for order of things and it
now looks like the school will start

positions, and for his alleged surren-
dering editorial in last issue of The
Crisis. The local branch sustained
the board of trustees of the N. A. A.

meeting in New York, that Editor
Dubois must choose between the edi-
torship of The Crisis and a position
with the Intelligence Bureau in the
War Department; that he cannot re-
main editor and serve in ONE other
capacity. In short, it has been made
plain to DR.. Dubois that he cannot

JUDGE sELDEN P. SPENCER.

Judge Selden P. Spencer, who is a
candidate for the nomination for the
United States senate, is not entitled
to the support of he Colored people;
because i is a known fact that this
eX-judge is prejudiced towards them.
A close observation of his actions in
the past will show, that here and
there the real man has found occas-
ion to portray itself. But the boldest
exhibition of his prejudiced-soul was
recently shown when he successfully
opposed the organization of a Colored
regiment of home guards in this state,
giving as his reason "the social side"
The home guards are to protect the
state in case Of uprisings, etc. But
Judge Spencer would be willing to
sacrifice the welfare of the state up
on the altar of ace prejudice. Such
a man, though he be honored with a
seat in the highest council of the ma
ton, would, like others, no doubt, be
willing to sacrifice the successful pro-
secution of the war upon the altar of
race prejudice. A man of his type is
dangerous; worst to the detriment of
the Negro than all of the German
propaganda. No loyal American, who
knows of this condition, be he black
or white, Will support Judge Selden
P. Spencer for the senate.
Let us support men and measures
that are fair and just to our race.
But, let us set u faces like flint
against those that hinder our pro-
gress.-St. Louis Argus.

NEW PRESIDENT
LINCOLN INSTITUTE
VISITS CITY.

Kansas City was honored this week
by an informal visit from DR.. Clement
Richardson, the newly elected head of
Lincoln Institute. During a stay of
two days he was the house guest of
Joe e. HEREFORD, 1917 Woodland Ave.
who was generously assisted by DR..
VIM. ]. Thompkins, Superintendent of
the City Hospital, in entertaining the
distinguished guest.
DR.. Richardson by his simple, unaf-
fected manner, his frank and cultured
disposition, made a host of friends
during his brief visit in the city and
both colored and white people are al
ready convinced that the Board of Re-
gents has found the right man to
make Lincoln Institute just what it
ought to be in the educational de-
velopment of our people in Missouri
and the west.
The new President is a graduate of
Harvard and is one of the type of men
whom the late Booker T. Washington
gathered about him at Tuskegee
whence he comes to Missouri after
several years experience at the great
southern institution. He has been at
Lincoln Institute a month and already
has a firm grasp upon the situation
and has laid plans for a wide scope
of usefulness in his new field.
During his stay in Kansas City he
merely devoted himself to the prelim-
inaries Of what he hopes to be a wide
