Tho Knnnns City Star gavo u party free of rhargo to Its patrons during
C'hrlstmus week lu tho form of n popular moving picture feature called
'The Hcvrn Hwnns." Hut tho disgrace of It all wan tho cruel nnd Inhuman
manner lu which il treated its colored patrons. Without notice or wnrnlug
Negroes on going to tho hall found themselves "Jim Crowed" and assigned
seats lu n far uway lorucr Many of tho colored attendants who had tho
manhood to protest vsero cruelly handled nnd Insulted by police offlcors
and told that If Inoy did not Ilka their accommodations they could retlro.
When It Is a supportable fact t lint fully onu-thlrd of tho Negro population
of Kansas City are subscribers to tho Htnr and perhaps tnko as much delight
In tho fart that thoy nre to tho detriment of a creditable Negro Journal
published in their city It remains to be seen If those subscribers will resent
this Insult by refusing to longer read tho .Star. It Is to be hoped that they
will rlso to the holghts of their rights mid civic pride and glto tho publish-
trs of the Star to understand they will not endure such uncalled for Indlg-nltlei
A IMC STKAL.
HMUJ people of Tulsa have Buffered more this winter than over before from
'- tho effects of being without a sufficient supply of gas. Home time ago
tho gas company raised their rates and at the same time from all Indications
lowered tho gas pressure During tho first cold snap last month tho pcoplo
of Tulsa were practically without gas for a wholo week nnd much suffering
resulted. A number of deaths have been traceable to this cause. Tho
people have complained of course but to no avail Tho gas company has
tho gas monopolized nnd the pcoplo aro helpless When cold spells come
wo must sutler patiently until tho weather moderates.
llut that Isn't tho worst of It Besides our physical suffering we must
pay ii bonus for the low gns pressure The gas rompany Is giving less gas
and getting moro money for It. According to statements sent nut this
month by the gus company man) have been charged for moro than twlco
tho normal nmount of gus used when as it matter of (ait fur less than tho
usual amount was used How long will the people of TiiIsh stand for this
big steal?

OUR RELIGIOUS FAILINGS.
'PIIi: MOST SENS1ULE nnd at once tho most practical analysis of tho
enotlonnl religious side ns Indulged In and encouraged In tho churches
of our raco comes from tho pen of Editor Hamlott of the Christian Index
Ho takes as his subject "Harnessing Our Spiritual Forces" and proceeds to
nnaljlzo tho too emotional Indulgence of Its worshippers to tho detriment
of n genuine ovcrj'-day practical religious devotion. Ho sajs
"The spiritual powers of tho Negro have not jet been used Our
emotional power Is a veritable Niagara unharnessed. Its beauty Is the
marvel of tho world It has furnished America her only music; it has
Influenced America's religious expression It has furnished tho most pic-
turosqus characters In American history poetry and fiction and awaits to
mako famous the American artist who can really Interpret It; and it furn-
ishes the basis for tho greatest organizations tho Negro has the Negro
church and tho Negro street society.
Hut wo Nogroes hnvo not yot harnessed our spiritual Niagara we
Uuvu not yet road Into It a social and ethical content As Niagara has been
harnossed to furnish power for lighting a hundred towns and driving
thousands of ears and turning tho wheels of thousands of mills nnd fac-
tories etc etc so our spiritual Niagara harnessed will lift our poople to
social and moral heights undreamed of. As religion has developed among
us tho greatest organization raises the most money builds tho greatest
buildings so It may furnish tho best opportunity for a thousand other much
desired achievements Our religion has not dono as much as It should to
devolop high family life steady Industrial habits sobor and strong physical
Hfo Our rollglou has not jet extended Itself Into Intellectual forms as It
should. It has built schools but has at tho same time left those whom It
has trained limited In their opportunity for eervlco.
"Do wo not think there Is great opportunity In religion for promoting
understanding between the racos and particularly for building up tho
Negro?"
