Ross, Geo. W. Taylor, Leon Jordan, Henry Shelton, William Scott, J. Allan Ross and others of like honor, ability and zeal, under the inspirational leadership of the devoted, fearless, unselfish Peter H. Clark, "the noblest Roman of them all," wrote these Theorems of Lesson Two of this Primer across the American Negro sky in characters of fire, proclaimed them with all the eloquence and logic of their devoted souls from the "housetops of every opportunity" and every Negro heard and understood; but even then, with the unspeakable barter of the richest gain of the immortal army in which he had been an officer, by Rutherford B. Hayes for a Fraud Stamped certificate of election (the only stain that ever sullied the high and honorable office of President of the United States) fresh in Negro memories, the colored voter stood, and stands, fast bound in voluntary political slavery, hugging and kissing his chains, while he and his, living and yet to be born, submerged deeper and ever deeper in the slime of serfdom, beneath showers of the world's contempt. It is this the Political Primer can not explain. Perhaps the Hebraic story of the Hamitic Curse is true: the raging Noah's cry to God, (despite our conception of our Father's justice) may have doomed Canaan to perpetual degradation among the peoples of earth; and yet this can hardly be; all Canaan is not in the United States. "There is a Man in Africa." "Here's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, With your hay-rick head of hair! You're a big, black, bounding nigger, But you broke a British Square! He's a daisy, he's a ducky, he's a lamb, He's an india-rubber idiot on a spree, He's the only thing that does'nt give a damn For a regiment of British infantry." And there is a man in Abyssinia. And since drunken Noah belched his hating [[end page]] [[start page]] APRIL, 1926 27 curse there have been untold thousands of black men who have been absolutely free because they have been absolutely manly. You may somewhat solve this question after reading the next lesson of A Political Primer. This next lesson will be ethnological, describing the traits, trends and accomplishments and failures of the most singular people who ever craved power and who were led to the most complete armory on earth and were there too weak to lift one weapon and who were shackled there as punishment for their presumption. SECURITY LOAN TO EXPAND The Security Loan and Investment Association of Kansas City has prepared an expansion program for the year which embraces the erection of a storage and ware house back of the offices, 1816 Vine. It will do a general storage and transfer business. This Company has made very rapid strides. It was organized about five years ago with a Capital of $10,000. Later its capital was increased to $50,000.00. A recent report shows the organization has acquired real estate to the amount of $116,000.00 from which the annual rental income exceeds $10,000.00. THROUGH WIND SHIELD NECK BROKEN All of Kansas City, Kans., is under the shadow of a great bereavement. Suddenly, it has been called upon to mourn the tragic death of Miss Grace Howard, a talented young woman, who was killed in an automobile collision Sunday, March 7th. Miss Howard with her mother and other relatives was driving in a Hudson Coach which she won February 20 in a popular vote contest conducted by The Kansas City Advocate, a weekly of Kansas City, Kans. The late Miss Howard was a favorite with both races and had served as a clerk in the County Treasurer's office of Wyandotte county for the past six years. She was a graduate of Western University. An examination at the hospital disclosed several broken ribs, lungs penetrated and neck broken. Miss Howard died on the way to the hospital.
