Wichita Falis, Aug. 25.-An the
churches reports good services Sun
day. hev. "A. L wright, pastor OF
st. John Baptist church Den govt
OF the city, his rostrum was tilIed
by Prof. Z. e. Trmble, formerly
principal OF the Washington School,
here, but now national supervisor
OF the American WOOdmen, with
headquarters in Louisville, kentucky.
Prof. Trimble chose for his SUBJECT,
stop Singing the Blues" 1t IL
said by those who were there thai
the lecture was a masterpiece, ana
was quite pleasing. Mrs. Mary II.
MaXan left last Tuesdy for Tyler,
Lufkin and other east Texas points,
where she will spend several weeks
visiting relatives and friends. Key
West Masonic Lodge No, 257 has
purchased the lot opposite the A.
M. Il. church on Lake Street, ana
we are reliably informed that 'ert
many moons beautiful structure
will grace this site. Mr. l.. NJ. DAVIS,
who has been quite sick at his home
on Humphrey street for the past two
weeks, is reported much improved
at this writing. A placard on the
door of an uptown restaurant bears
the insci 'ption: Free soup for all
broke people, whites only Now what
does this suggest to you? It simply
means this; you take care of yom
broke and hungry Mr.. Black Man,
and I'll take of mine. Well what
do you think about it Mr.. Express
man? Well 1 must answer both in
:, affirmative and negative. From a
\ Christian viewpoint it is wrong;
though according to customs and
practice it is right. So also is it
wrong; yes, just as wrong for a
Negro man to allow a white man to
come to his home every Monday
morning, walk into his front and
best room with his hat on, and a
stincky cigar stub in his mouth, ad-
dressing his wife at hello Sally or
hello Mary Ann" whatever her name
may be, collect 35 cents and then
walk away with his accustom much
obige Mary, etc. 1t is a poor spec
linen of Negro manhood that will
allow this in his home when he can
get the same protection, for the same
money, from a Negro man who will
grace his home with manners and
courtesies betting a queens man
sion. Friends, we must stop this
we are becoming too intelligent, at
least we should he We who think
must act for those who do not think.
beginning with today we should
launch a crusade against this unwar-
ranted condition. We should ask for
volunteers. The volunteers are those
who have the manhood and woman
hood to petition the heads of their
accompanies, if they will use them, to
y give you Colored agents, Do this
and watch the results. Ninety per
cent of the policyholders in these
companies are ColCred people, and
if a concreted effort was made.
throughout the south, these uncouth
white agents could be moved, and
replaced with colored men. But my
admonition to you is, take Negro
insurance any and everywhere you
can get it, We are glad to announce
that Miss Bernice Trimble. who has
been sick for several weeks, and
whose sudden change for worse
called her father, Prof. C. C. Trimhle,
home a few DAYS ago. is greatly inn
proved and advises that without prov
idercial hindrances, will he ont
again soon to the delight of her
many friends.
