In primitive communities where
such means of justice are lacking, or
in communities where the courts are
corrupt or incompetent and do not act
with decision and unsparing severity
there is excuse for the assumption of
power TO punish by the people them
selves; where these conditions do not
xist, there is such excuse.

WILD WEST
HERE AT HOME

Elks Rocky Gulch will be a novel entertainment. Frontier prod
ucuon promises real amusement. Exalted Ruler Q. J.. Gilmore, has
appointed committees. Big frontier days celebration will begin Sat
urday, March 90, and end Saturday, March q, at Battery B, 18th and
Highland. The Big Rocky Guch Frontier Days Celebration which
will be manned and staged by the members and their ladies of the
Midwest Lodge No. 299, l. B. P. O. E. of w, promises to be one
of the most ripping entertainments ever pulled off by the Elks.
Battery B, will be an exact reproduction of Rocky Gulch, a Wild
Western town in the good old days of 1S49 and the scene will
be made more real by the characterization of certain personages which
will make up the population of the rolhcking western village. Every
character from Denver Dan and his gang of dealing card sharps to
thesturdy sheriff, his deputies and janers, will be reproduced.
There will be all the places of entertainment and lettering found
in one of those little Western towns, including Calamity James
Dance Hall, Saloons, Town Hall, Jail, Court House, Banks, etc.
Nothing will be omitted to make this reproduction complete and to
insure a good time for everybody.
When you enter the door of Battery B, next Saturday night,
March goth, you leave Kansas City behind and become at one step
a visitor to the wild and Woody Rocky Guch'" In return for
your ticket the doorkeeper will give you 100000 in fun o stage
money which you can spend at all the different institutions of Rocky
Gulch.
Harry st. Clair, chairman of the entertainment committee, has
appointed the following cast of characters:

MATTJoY A REAL LEADER.

That Mr.. ]. ]. Mattjoy is a real
leader of his people who believe in
standing for the race first vas demon
strated at the Republican Convention
when he offered to pledge himself
and friends to assist in the election
of a Negro Alderman if one should
have been nominated. And yet Mr..
Mattjoy is a stalwart Democrat and
has the confidence and esteem of the
foremost leaders of that political or
ganization. Mr.. Mattjoy believes as
does every fair-minded white man.
Republican or Democrat that if the
Negro is to work out his salvation
it must come from within and not
without the race. In every civic
movement and in every drive for the
benefit of our Institutions Mr.. Matt
Joy has been in the front ranks work

Hon. ]. ] Mattjoy,
Kansas City, Mo,
Dear Friend:
l thank you very much Tor your
thoughtfulness in sending me a copy
of the Kansas City Sun of Saturday,
February 21st, which I have read with
a great deal of interest.
l desire to congratulate the Negro
race upon the fact that many Of them
are now voting the Democratic ticket
and believe they will continue to do
so in increasing numbers. I think
the day has come when the Negro
will intelligently divide his vote be-
tween the different political organiza-
lions. In that way he is more apt
to receive consideration at the hands
of each Of the great parties. Having
been born and reared in the south, !
have always felt 1 understood the
Negro race and am convinced there
are wonderful possibilities for the
Negro in Missouri, and that there
should be a hearty spirit of co-opera-
ton and good feeling between the
whites and the blacks. During the
war felt the need Of this co-opera-
ton in order that the Negroes might
take a more active part in war work.
Therefore, l created the Negro Indus
trial Commission and appointed mum.
erous Negroes on same. They did a
remarkable work such as increasing
farm production, stimulating subscrip
lions to war work and the sale o.
bonds and in many ways reaching
the Negro people through this Com
mission who would not have beer
reached in any other way.
l hope to be able to re-create thi!
Commission under legislative act be
fore long and also to start a Negro
experimental farm under the direction
of the State Board of Agriculture.
Faithfully yours,
FREDERICK D. GARDNER,
Governor

is again to speak in the vernacular,
"a single,,-an eyes are upon him, and
ii is gratifying to note that without
the assistance of a partner, he IS
making good with vengeance. Mr..
Wilson terms himself The Variety

vaudeville. but because of the variety
of things he does in his act
1t is quite unusual TO see an act OF
the nature of that presented by the
I11nette sisters as handsomely cos
tuned. These two very attractive
girls present an aerial novelty during
which they make five changes Of
clothes. and each change is crea-
ton bordering on work of art Then

Tracey or a. more ingratiating come
dian than Carl Mcbride. These tw,
artists have joined hands and havi
formed a vaudeville partnership from
which most assuredly big things may
be expected. Miss Tracey has playe,
important roles with various musica
comedies and has gained particular
success.

By using the long sills, the area Of
contact between the stills and frame is
so great that there will be no tendency
for the frame to wear as in the case with
the cross-sill type. This type of con-
struction has proven to be the best and
most practical.
Another important matter IN body

Excessive overhang at the rear be-

poor weight distribution, resulting in
excessive weight being carried on the

The best under-sili construction and
the one most generally used today is
one in which cross sills are bolted to
two long sills resting directly on the
frame and running the full length of
the frame. This type makes stronger
body than the other type and the long
salis act as a reinforcement for the
truck frame. 1t is also very easy
matter to properly fasten this body to

wood sill should also be held in place

Dump bodies should always pivot
as close to the rear spring shackle as
possible. The frame beyond the rear
