HELPFUL TALKS To
A me RICUS NEGROES
Charles Stewart Delivers Lecture
AT Campbell ChapeI-To
Speak Again Tonight
{ Communication.)

Rev. Miller A. Fountain, colored,
pastor of Campbell Chapel A. Nj. E.
church, announced last night that
his aim was to put forth an effort
to reach the unreached in his race,
and to have a better understanding
between the races in this city, and
IN order to get at his people he
would bringto Americas, some of
the best posted and most conserva-
tive men of his race. His course
of lectures was opened last night
and others will follow.
THE proper application of the
Golden Rule, and the religion of
Jesus Christ in the hearts of all
men will solve all human problems
on earth" was the declaration made
| by Charles Stewart, A. NJ, D. D., Of
Chicago, general. missionary of the
National Baptist convention, in an
address of an audience of men which
filled the auditorium of Campbell
Chapel A. M. E. church, jackson
and Wild street, last night.
Race hatred, race prejudice, race
antipathy never did solve any prob
lens and never will" continued Dr.
Stewart, but we must teach the
doctrine of love. Instead of the
white man and the negro talking
about each other, let them talk to
each other, and thereby have an un-
derstanding. When this is done, mob
violence, lynchings, disregard for
human life and property will be
wiped out and we will all dwell to-
gether in unity. Both races are in
the South and we are here to stay
and we are going to make this the
garden spot of the world, as God In
tended it should be.
Let US do our duty, let US have
a proper regard for law. That 9th
ers may kill in cold blood, that they
lynch men and burn their bodies is
no excuse for us, but let US in the
words of Jesus pray to heaven,
Father forgive them, they know not
what they do l say 70 our young
men, throw away your guns and
bludgeons, and let US starye every
crimianl lawyer and put every sher-
IF in the poor house by giving them
nothing to do.
let US avoid race conflicts, and
do not mean by this that manhood
should be sacrificed, but carrying
chip on your shoulder with big
gun in your pocket is not manhood,
| have never had a gun since have
been in the world, but let us turn
attention to preserving health, ana
rendering efficient service.
"The young negroes must STOP dy-
ing so fast, they must live u Old
age. Any man who dies under 30
is fool. But you cannot stay up
all hours at night, and work all day
and live. At an early age if you do
this, nature will demand its toll,
which is often disease and death.
The inordinate waste of strength
is the cause Of early deaths.
do not run from race prejudice,
for you will find it the world over,
but YOU must change conditions
through proper service, through your
proper conduct. If you want to

HONOR HERO Of CUBAN
WARS TARDY REWARD
John Kissinger, "Fever Hero"
Gets Pension Restored By
Senate
By HARRY HUNT

WASHINGTON, March 81. =
John Kissinger, crippled Honor
tMlch.) hero, who in the Spanish
American War sacrificed his health
to develop the virus which gave
science control of the yellow fever
germs, was remembered by Congress
even IN the rush of the closing hours
of the last session.
As a result of Senate action
Kissinger will continue to receive
a government annuity of $1,000 and
the bill for $1700 sent him by the
government will be cancelled.
Official action was taken after the
Times-Recorder and associated news
papers throughout the United States
had called attention to Kissinger's
being forced to live and support his
family on 80 cents a day pension.
Crooked Legal Trail
Probably no stranger trail of leg
islative completely ever was follow

James c. Mclaughlin, Michigan,
finally saved a competence to Kissing

was authorized. In 1911, Senator

Shively, Indiana, chairman of the
Senate Pension Committee had en-
acted bill giving Kissinger an an
nuity of $1,000.
Following the institution of the
budget, the budget officer discovered
the double payment and informed the
pension office. That bureau had no
knowledge of the Shively act.
Legal advisers said Kissinger
had been drawing two pensions,
contrary to law. A letter was dis
patched to Kissinger, directing him
to remit $1699.60 by New York
draft" the amount of pension he
had drawn under the original award
after the enactment of the annuity
law.
Of course Kissinger couldn't "re-
nit" The army appropriation bill
therefore, was so worded as to sus-
pend payments of the annuity en-
tirely until the $1700 in overpay-
BI2its had been offset.
Mclaughlin Acts.
<AacLaughlin finally succeeded in
getting a provision, reinstating the
full $1,000 annuity and forgiving al
overpayments made by the pension
office, attached to the third defci-

probable, wheat today averaged lower

In addition to bearish advices about

Attic Antennae

A radio salesman recently stopped
in certain rural community and al
though the local radio dealer seemed
to be doing fiourishing business,
hardly five outdoor antennae were in
evidence. Upon making inquiries, he
was told that because of the light
ningfire fear on the part of many
residents, he had advocated and per-
sonally installed the socalled attic
antenna in dozens of houses. The
psychological effect of having the an
tenna indoors had so treasured the
people that he was advocating the
same practice in nearby towns with
marked success. For medium dis
lance reception, it appears, the attic
antenna il just as effective as the
outdoor antenna, especially in de-
tached frame houses. BY virtue Of
it's short span, it permits sharper
tuning with consequent decrease of
interference. Then too, the indoor
antenna does not require elaborate
Insulation since it Is never exposed to
moisture or rain.
