The Ku Klux Klan or "Knights of the White Light" Are Engaged in Laying a Deep Seated Plan or Scheme to Drive the Colored People Out of This Country Back to the Wilds of Africa. More Than One Million and a Half "Knights of the White Light" Are Scattered MANY COLORED PREACHERS WILL AND HAVE RECEIVED CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE "KNIGHTS OF THE WHITE LIGHT" FOR ASSISTING TO TURN THE HEADS OF THE COLORED PEOPLE TOWARDS AFRICA. COL. MARCUS GARVEY, THE PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT OF AFRICA, EXPECTS TO CONTINUE TO RAKE IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE POOR SHORT-SIGHTED AND THOUGHTLESS COLORED PEOPLE, HAS JOINED HANDS WITH THE "KNIGHTS OF THE WHITE LIGHT." THE TIME MAY COME IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN THE COLORED PEOPLE BOTH MEN AND WOMEN WILL BE FORCED TO FALL DOWN ON THEIR HANDS AND KNEES AND LAP WATER LIKE THE BLOODY DOGS OF WAR WHILE FIGHTING TO MAINTAIN THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS AND POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE. THE FOLLOWING LETTER OR STATEMENT WHICH WAS INTENDED FOR ONE OF THE "KNIGHTS OF THE WHITE LIGHT" FELL INTO THE HANDS OF JULIUS F. TAYLOR. By mistake the following letter or official statement of the Ku Klux Klan or the "Knights of the White Light" found its way into the hands of the writer instead of reaching one of the prospective members of the "Knights of the White Light": From its beginning to its end it is full of real solid food or serious thoughts for reflection and its contents shows to all the civilized world just what the honest and the better class of colored people are up against in some parts of this country, a country, at least some parts of it, which for more than three hundred years has bloomed and blossomed like the rose in June by the unrequited toil or hard labor day and night on the part of the colored men and women (slaves) throughout the southland. Sometimes we firmly believe that it would have been ten million times better for the colored people, those who were left behind on the plantations at the time their masters were away from their southern homes fighting for the further continuation THE BROAD AX of the hellish system of slavery in this country, if the slaves would have rebelled at that time and put to death every rebel who raised his hands against the federal government, for that would have been the best and only way to have settled once and for all time to come the slave holders' rebellion in this country. The very fact that the slaves remained behind cultivating the large plantations, protecting the lives, the honor, the virtue and the homes of the white women and children left in their absolute charge, counted for naught and it has not and never will bring them any reward for their services honestly and faithfully performed in that direction, but come to think of it the former faithful slaves and those who have come after them are being constantly rewarded by being mobbed and lynched, burned at the stake on the slightest provocation in the presence of the fortyth to fifty thousand Christian men and women, including sweet, innocent little children and parts of the flesh of the colored CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1922 ```markdown ``` Member of Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois, Who Will Assist President Harding to Review the Great Knight Templar Parade in Washington, D.

But that is not strange when we remember that any race of people who will cheerfully and willingly sell their own flesh and blood for the sake of piling up wealth, are amply prepared for the commission of all of the most revolting crimes that have so far been invented by the most bloodthirsty villains who have disgraced the name of man. But at this point we will step aside for a few moments and permit the "Knights of the White Light" to do some talking. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN progress from the First Congressional D Assist President Harding to Rew emplar Parade in Washington, D. C. PURPOSE "Knights of the White Light" (Ku Klux Klan) PURPOSE Dear Sir: In the fewest words possible the purpose of our organization is this, to transport all "Negroes" in the United States to Africa. As there is no law to compel the coon to leave unless he wants to go; the first step is to make him want to emigrate. Every person who joins this Order swears among other things to assist the coons to the conclusion that it is to their interest to place the Atlantic-Ocean between themselves, and the members of the "KNIGHTS OF THE WHITE LIGHT." The first step of this progress in persuasion is simple and legitimate. The members under severe penalty for the violation of this oath, swear that after January — neither they nor any member of their family will for any consideration: 1. Sell a Negro anything to eat, drink or wear. ```markdown ``` 2. Rent them land, houses or anything whatsoever. 3. Nor will any lawyer, teacher, preacher or doctor give them any professional assistance. 4. Fail to boycott any merchant who sells to them or buys from them, the same with hotel keepers or anyone 'se who is not a member. Members will not dare do any of the above things. 5. Fail to furnish any Negro with a ticket who desires transportation to a seaport where passage to Africa might be obtained. Speakers and agents are to tell them of the beautiful home across the Atlantic from whence they came. Nor is the press to be idle, all manner of magazines, papers, pamphlets, calculated to excite a desire in them for a home across the pond will be scattered among them. Pooled whites of the cities are to take the plates of the Negroes who are now working the large farms and plantations. Landowners who insist (Continued on Page 2) BOOK CHAT BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COL- ORED PEOPLE "THE VENGEANCE OF THE GODS" By William Pickens. Published by the A. M. E. Book Concern, 631 Pine St., Philadelphia, Pa. Price, $1.25 Postpaid Mr. Pickens is well known to Americans as a public speaker and an essay writer, but he is new to the world of fiction. The Vengeance of the Gods is a slight volume containing four stories, or to be more exact, two stories and two sketches of veritable happenings. I confess to finding reality better than fiction. The tale of the colored man who didn't take the upper berth for which he had paid and who thereby got its occupant, a white man, a good thrashing and placed the white man who had planned to attack the Negro in a false and ludicrous position, is almost too good to be true. It laughs at white prejudice, and the finest attack that we can make on white prejudice, is the attack of ridicule. And the last sketch of the colored soldiers in France, "Tit for Tat" is the best of all. It is the story of the 370th Regiment encamped at Grand Villars. I cannot resist repeating the gist of it. At Grand-Villars, France, the first American regiment to be stationed there was a colored one. The French saw these soldiers and learned to like them heartily. The colored men were on their best behavior and were polite and gentle to the women and hearty to all men. They pushed the baby carriages, they carried up the water for the girls from the spring, they were genuinely democratic, helping rich and poor alike. The girls, of course, all took to them, the doors of every home was open to them and they had a royal good time. Then came a white regiment, and as it happened a white regiment that did not take the trouble to be as courteous to the inhabitants as the colored regiment had been. As soon as the white soldiers saw that the French girls had been invited colored soldiers into their homes, they were shocked and they at once instructed the French in race prejudice. But they overdid it. They overdid it so much that they gave the colored soldiers their chance. One of their lientenants from New Orleans got the French folk of the town out to hear him, and then explained to them that these new soldiers were not real Americans. Could they not see it? Had they not violated all those ideals of democracy of which they had heard so much? "We allow them to live in our country but they hate us. Many of them are the descendants of the Germans and Austrians and have much of the arrogance of their for-bears. We do not associate with 5 CENTS per copy e Light" Scheme ry Back ion and cattered vement. YMARY WHITE HAIRMAN OF THE RECTORS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR EMENT OF COL- them in our country; we call them crackers and pecks!" And crackers and pecks they were to the end of their stay, outcasts, unable to receive recognition from any of the French people of Grand Villars. Mr. Pickens says in his preface that "If the Negro wants to be idealized he must idealize himself. * * * A race must present its own case and ennoble its own ideals." He offers these four stories as a beginning in this direction. In the tales the colored are the heroes and heroines and the whites occupy a subordinate and by no means an attractive place. It is a question whether we can get artistic writing if it is undertaken on this method. Rather we shall get the sort of writing that we dislike in the whites, special pleadings. Those who follow the custom, as Mr. Pickens puts it, of showing the Negro either as a clown or a villain, have their propaganda, and it is because we see the propaganda that we dislike the story. So if we are conscious that the colored writer represents his heroes as virtuous and heroic because he wants to teach us a lesson, we shall sense the propaganda and just so far distrust the story. And when the facts in this volume are accompanied with much comment from the author regarding the Negro and his rights we shall distrust it all the more. *When the Negro begins to write great fiction, and he will before long, he will write out of the intense creative impulse of the artist. He will show us the Negro in his strength and his weakness. And despite all the weakness, the truth of the life of the Negro in America is so terrible, that he will tear at our heart strings. But such a writer must give all his life to his work. He must be content "to live in a garret aloof, to have few frinds and go poorly clad." No creative work can be done at odd, tired minutes. But I am reviewing a volume of four stories, not the great novel of the future. The stories are entertaining and the presage of larger things. We hope that we shall have more of them.

"KNIGHTS OF THE WHITE (Concluded from Page 1) upon retaining Negro laborers and renters instead of poor whites will be dealt with in a summary manner that will not fail to convince them that it will be to their interest to discard the coon. By these various and other means that are not mentioned, life will be made intolerable for the Negro, consequently, he will prefer any old father than remain in this country. With this much accomplished, an agreement will be made with one of the provinces of Africa, Congo State preferably, where some eleven or twelve millions of American Negroes can be happily located. Steamship companies are being organized that will undertake to transport the Negroes with all the movable property they might desire to take with them to their new home. Of course, they will be expected to pay their own passage, but if they cannot and there is not enough money in their crowd or enough property left behind to satisfy the skippers they will be taken free. When once there, it is the sworn duty of the members of this order to assist them in getting a start in the new country by helping them to exist. And it shall be the further duty of the KNIGHTS to see that when once landed, NO COON SHALL EVER RETURN. When these mild and human means fail to put the Negro moving, stronger measures will be taken. Methods that with justice to the Order cannot be menticued at this time, suffice to say, "That it requires object lessons to show the outsiders and the black man that the KNIGHTS mean business, a sufficient number will be given. Also, suitable penalties will be inflicted on TRAITOR KNIGHTS and those who violate their obligations. For instance, we will have no more Booker T's, those saddle colored missilis of a midnight debauchery. Don't say we are a band of cut-throats and robbers, don't denounce us as law-breakers, and say we are violating the Constitution of the country. Don't fear criminal prosecution; all the courts in the United States cannot convict one member. It is a secret of the Order, therefore, no positive knowledge of the work of the inner ring, but when the time arrives you will see an actual demonstration of its latent power. The Order was organized a little over two years ago, since then the membership has grown by leaps and bounds. Alabama, 152,391 members; Arkansas, 109,297 members; Florida, 44,297 members; Louisiana, 115,135 members; Mississippi, 128,272 members North Carolina, 157,819 members Oklahoma, 82,327 members; Texas 154,105 members; Virginia, 154,515 members; South Carolina, 111,693 members. Total—1,503,155 members Agents are at work organizing all over the United States. The question is not whether this is right or wrong; but in the name of God what are we going to do about it? The proposition, with all its imperfections is nevertheless, a force that must be reckoned with. They may discuss, investigate, and legislate against, but the Order is here to stay. There is only one thing to do, remove the cause (The Negro) when this is done the trouble will cease. All threats, force will avail nothing, anything short of the cause of the grievance will not suffice. We are laying a scheme before you which if closely adhered to, will with [Name] HON. WILLIAM R. FETZER One of the Most Popular Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago, High Mason, Who Is Being Constantly and Favorably Mentioned As One of the Thompson Candidates for Mayor of Chicago in 1923. a minimum of cost and time enable us to accomplish the deportation. A FEW QUESTIONS Who are these Negroes that some We must secure a home in Africa for the Negro. The Congo State will be a good place to settle with them. It is the most productive state in Central Africa. They would add strength to the government and at the same time give the Negro all the freedom he desires. If with them satisfactory arrangements cannot be made arrangements can be made with France or England for a right to settle in the Soudan. The men in authority of these two nations are too wise to refuse a proposition that would increase their laboring population. If they are settled in the Soudan, the Negro will pass from under the control of the United States into the control of the British or French, which we can well afford to have them do, with thanks in the bargain. We must send agents among the Negroes, to encourage the emigration by telling them of the delightful climate, and the rich soil, where cotton' and all kinds of fruit grow wild. Where there are no white men to rape their women and lynch their men, where they can have officers and make their own laws, and where freedom will be as unlimited as the sunshine; which is above their heads. The agents can persuade them to make preparation to go. Some Negroes will be found quite willing, for they can be made to feel as dissatisfied with conditions as we are, as an old Negro has explained it "de situation am vacant." Transportation must be furnished them or if possible have them to furnish their own ships. The pride of the Negro will cause him to pay his own fare. By following this simple plan we can get rid of the Negro—this abominable race. This country has been the dumping ground of the world long enough. It is our move. Let us move forward to the king line, then when they jump them over we will jump them back again. Let us consider, moreover, it is the "survival of the fittest," but God wills it, the hand of Providence is in it all. It has been truthfully said: "There is a law higher than the Constitution." The Negro was brought here to civilize and christianize; now they are going to be returned to the "heart of their Fatherland" to preach the glad tidings to every living soul in that lost continent for the Master. This is an age of invention and commerce and we know there are some who look on everything from a standpoint of profit and loss. Even the propagation of the Gospel does not appeal to them. A material advantage alone has weight with them. Yet do not despair, for it does not require a prophet to see that a lively commerce will spring up between the United States and her Africans. By judicious dealings our foreign commerce will be greatly augmented. The plan is before you from beginning to end, it is simplicity personified and considering the tremendous consequences its rejection will have upon the people. It behooves you to give it your careful consideration. We have a great crisis to meet. LET US MEET IT LIKE MEN, or let our country fall into the hands of the Negroes. Shall we permit this government of the people for the people by the people to perish from the earth? God forbid! Let us rather substitute one that will eliminate the curse' of the Nation by "RIDDING THE COUNTRY OF THE NEGRO" and receive the blessings of posterity. THIRD. Who are these Negroes that some white men idealize? If we had some of the Negro-loving whites down south we would compel them to live among the Negroes to punish them. Instead of the old confiding ex-slave, we introduce to you the young buck of today; and what a combination he is; lazy, treacherous, dishonest—in fact he lacks every attitude of a man. To delineate his character from a point of view of a human, is to cast a reflection upon the human race. The multiplication of the full-blooded Negro is a serious problem, but the amalgamation of the two races is a greater danger. The very fact that the infusion of white blood elevates the Negro, makes the danger more alarming; the three-fourths-breed and the half-breed and the one-fourth breed, with all the savage instincts add intellectual ability inherited from the whites makes them far more formidable thus giving "raise" to greater apprehension for our future. Everywhere you find the Negro and you find him everywhere. You will see a greater or lesser number of mulattoes. Under present conditions there is no possible way to prevent the amalgamation, not one Negro wench in a thousand is chaste and that one is virtuous in so far as it requires a little higher price to buy her than from the common herd. And what of the white man that keeps a Negro mistress? They are mostly of the lower stratum who is neither capable or considerate enough to think of the consequences of their sin. Southern gentlemen will not debase themselves with such practice, and condemn it with greater severity than any one, they see clearly the disastrous results it will have upon our people. The disfranchised Negro, it is he, the rapelious brute whom you hear the ragings about, and why? Because a few of these illiterate cusses are disfranchised when the stability of our government depends upon the intelligence of its citizens. The man who is unable to read a section of the Constitution is not qualified to exercise the responsibility of the ballot. To allow every Negro over 21 years to vote, regardless of qualifications, is to jeopardize the local government, a thing we will not stand. THE NEGRO MUST GO. At this time we cannot discuss all the phases at length of the effusions of the "Knights of the White Light," but it is sufficient to say that despite the fact that many of the colored preachers in Kansas, and in other sections of the country, are receiving donations in money from the "Knights of the White Light," to speak a good word from their pulpit in favor of the back to Africa movement and despite the further fact that Col. Marcus Garvey is willing to trade the United States to the "Knights of the White Light," if they in turn will give him full possession of Africa, so that he can continue to wiggle the poor, short sighted and thoughtless colored people out of millions of dollars. The vast majority of the colored people will still remain in the United States and fight it out along the line of manhood rights if it takes all summer. Mrs. Carrie Warner, 3822 Calurnet avenue, her mother, Mrs. Sidney and her sister, Miss Bettie Ray, c.f. St. Louis, Mo., are all greatly enjoying themselves at the lovely summ er home of Mrs. Warner, Idlewild, 'Mich. CHICAGO, ILL. SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1922 By Dr. M. A. Majors Civilization or whatever it is seems to be bedlam to some, while it is chaos to others, but the Negro it seems to be shrapnel from hell. When the lynchers are not lynching, the unions are striking, the capitalists are taking advantages of whatever the poor dupes do to enrich their coffers the foreigners are protesting and holding out for shorter hours and a higher rate for work by the hour while the helpless Negro stands by dumb or grinning with smothered utterances over his hard luck. The church bells ring and sometimes chime, but it is the call for money to pay preachers bigger salaries. Sometimes the man of God goes on a strike for more money to buy more high buildings or to purchase new high power cars to ride about in. The Ku Klux Klan is abroad in the land, but something seems to have the white ministry with a strangling defying sacred utterance. The frish the Jew, and the Negro are targets for the social furies of mankind. The Negro at last has company. He used to do all of the suffering and all of the complaining, and it is become a fact that misery loves company and plenty of it. The Japanese used to get it thick and hard until he built himself some battle ships and told the world what he would do to the Pacific Ocean if it did not lay off. The world got the idea indeed very quickly and it got busy making friends with the little brown men away out in the great sea far away. Of course, we are going to get our share of civilization, bedlam and its chaotic lapses, no matter what men may say. We are American citizens in the same sense that black men of the French Colonies are Frenchmen, but the world won't ever know it until the Negro with his corporate weight and intelligence startles it by some Herculean strategy and mystic force. Knowledge in the wake of time will work its charm. Bravado and ugly reminders of Caucasian insolence will do very little in this, the morning of our waking, into worthy life. A few centuries are not so much when it comes to dealing with many millions greatly interested in new and far gone preachments for a glorious day of reckoning. We are the oncoming generations who will deserve and require, and then take what we need from the fellow that will not always be able to withhold from us what is humanly righteous. Today we have the strikes, the unions, the Irish, the Jew, the disgruntled foreigner, the rich fool piling up his mountain of gold and starving out the rest of us, the Klux Klan, the lynchers, the blear-eyed cowardly preacher who is afraid to lift his voice against the hell of southern recrimination, the cheap politician, the prohibitionist, the flappers, the naked women swimmers, the screen gods, and goddesses, and beyond all of this and more we see the shiny white teeth of the Negro with a grin on his face. If he does not see something coming a hundred years away, how in the blue blazes can he be so happy? Mr. Charles E. Morrison, special messenger to Mayor William Hale Thompson, left yesterday morning with the Shriners for Washington, D.C., where they will meet from all parts of the country. Before returning home Mr. Morrison will also visit Philadelphia, Pa., New York City and other points in the east. W. H. HON. DANIEL RYAN One of the Most Popular Officials of Cook Co Sure of Being Re-elected As One of the Co At the Election in November. One of the Most Popular Officials of Cook County, Who Is Dead Sure of Being Re-elected As One of the County Commissioners At the Election in November. M. J. Jolibois, of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, editor of Le Courier Haitien, a leading newspaper of Haiti, was twice arrested and confined to jail during the month of June, for protesting against certain financial powers in the United States forcing a loan of $40,000,000 on the Haitian Government, according to a letter received and made public by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. M. Jolibois has been one of the most outspoken of Haitian leaders in denouncing the acts of the American occupation. In commenting on the arrest of Mr. Jolibois and the causes of his having been imprisoned, Mr. Johnson said: "It is obvious that the efforts now being made to force this loan of forty million dollars on the Haitian Government, which the Haitians declare they do not need and do not want, is for the purpose of future justification of continuance of the occupation of Haiti by the United States Government. When unpleasantly direct demands are made on the American Government in the future to end the occupation of this republic, the obvious retort will be that such a step would be impracticable until money loaned by American banking houses is repaid. "The arrest and imprisonment of M. Jolibois for daring to speak out on a matter regarding which there should be the utmost freedom of speech and press is simply another incident in what is already a record of imperial despotism. In spite of the recent report by the Senate Committee, headed by Senator McCormick of Illinois, which almost completely absolves the occupation of all blame, the case of M. Jolibois is indicative of just what our neighbors to the south are undergoing in the process of 'benevolent tutelage' by the American Government." THE SUMMIT OF POWER By Dr. M. A. Majors I've tried so hard to love you and failed as most men fail; I've repressed the impulses of my heart, but you know man's love is frail. And yet with the keenest emotions, somehow I struggle in vain To reach life's summit of power, a love I cannot attain. I've searched in the deepest of reaches of a heart ill-tuned to find A feeling of tenderest regard, but the eyes of my heart are blind. That love you tried to inspire by a spirit meek and mild. Must have fallen upon the waste places of a heart that once was wild. It's fearful, I know, to falter, and hesitate when love Comes beaming sweetly upon you so like a cooing dove; And what is still far greater than a love that's calm, serene. Of a dear angelic woman for a man whose heart is mean? I know that somehow, somewhere my heart strings must unloose That love may some day enter and I'll have no excuse. How I long for that kingly emotion to stir up my heart so frail? I'd give all I have to find love's sea upon which I might set sail.

"PRESIDENT OF AFRICA" IS GIVEN NEW YORK CHEER New York—His supreme excellency Marcus Garvey, "provisional president of Africa," and president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, enthroned on a dias and clad in a long velvet gown with red and green stripes, Wednesday called to order the annual convention of his association and proceeded with the preliminary work of reclaiming Africa for the Negro. A few hours later Mr. Garvey changed to a resplendent black navy uniform, adorned with red stripes and gold braid, topped off with a gold covered admiral's hat, and he marched at the head of his followers in a parade through the Negro section of Harlem. Directly behind him in the line of march was his supreme highness, the potentate and supreme commissioner of the U. N. I. A., Gabriel Johnson, flanked by James R. Diggs, chaplain general, and such lesser luminaries as the consul general, surgeon general, and other general officers of the movement. Trailing behind these dignitaries were the plain people. But few were so plain that they did not appear in uniform, and most of the uniforms, black, red, or green, had gold braid, and were not sparingly decorated. Hon. and Mrs. James G. Cotter Have Returned to the City from Their Three Weeks' Vacation Hon. James G. Cotter, Assistant United States District Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and his good wife, Mrs. Sadie DeAmond Cotter, 3342 Calmet avenue, have returned home from their three weeks' vacation trip to Allegan County, Mich., where they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Love, who own a beautiful eighty-acre farm about six miles from the thriving little town of Allegan. Mr. and Mrs. Cotter both greatly enjoyed their real country outing and while he was assisting to cut and haul hay and doing other farm work for the novelty of the thing, getting up at half past five or six o'clock and walking several miles before breakfast. He and Mrs. Cotter were both considerably tanned and they were able to eat three hearty meals each day, which caused them to add on four or five pounds extra weight. Mr. Cotter states that he came in contact with many of the leading white citizens in that section of Michigan, and that they all seemed to be free from race prejudice and that the most friendly feeling exists between the white and colored people in Allegan County, Mich. FAMOUS EDITOR JOJAD Editor Miller, of The New York Times is dead. Age did not keep him from trying to improve himself and though 73 at the time of his death, he was still writing editorials just as he had done 40 years before. We publish the following brief sketch as an object lesson on to so many of our people who so early feel that they are too old to learn or do anything: "In addition to being an outstanding figure in journalism and a classical scholar, the editor had a wide acquaintance with modern languages and literatures. He spoke French fluently and German almost as well. He read 700 Spanish and Italian. In 1917, at the age of 68, he took up Russia, eventually learning to read the language with ease and could converse in it to a degree. in the course of 40 years writ- his, his neal dealt with subjects in almost the entire range of human interest: and, indeed, he was well equipped to handle a much wider range of topics than can generally be treated even by a trained and experienced editorial writer.

PROVING BARNUM TOID 7 TRUTH Toledo, O.-Paul Sandar has a plain oak box as a souvenir of his encounter with confidence men, in which his life savings of $5,100 were exchanged for a "money-making machine." The swindlers told Sandar the machine would grind out bills fast enough to care for him for the rest of his life, but it didn't. The box was given to him one afternoon with instructions not to start grinding until night. Sandar started grinding that night, but no fortune appeared and the resultant excitement of his family caused neighbors to call police. They discovered the machine turned out bills when a strip of paper was fed into a slot, but only when the bills previously had been placed inside.

Gomez, of the Bankers’ Fire Insurance Com- pany, I then got myself in shape and left for amother part of the world. Back to Raleigh, where 1 found Hon. Berry O'Kelly, the great leader and worker in the National Negro Business League waiting for me to ‘come on down to see him. He had me to promise to meet him in Norfolk when the National Business League ‘Meets there; and I expect to be right fon hand, and when I get through I am going to beat it to Richmond, Va. to speak at the Fifth Street Baptist church, and from there I will go to Washington, New York, Chicago, and then on to California. I will be there to the National Baptist convention. T have kept before you National meeting after National meeting, and now they are reaching the end. The National Allen Christian Endeavor League convention or congress will be in Chicago August 16, and there will be many people there for that big meeting. ‘You will be interested to know that when the National Baptist convention meets in Los Angeles, Cal., Septem- ber 6, the Rev. Dr. A. M. Townsend will be able to report that they are working on our new publishing house and that it is going to he the finest in this country owned and operated by us. The buildings are being torn down now, and then will follow the foundation. ‘They have put some Money into this, and it is going right on. Those who go to Nashville, will be able to see just what we Baptists are doing. Be in Los Angeles. and hear Dr. Townsend make his report, and get some new inspiration. But I started to tell you about this place. I got down here Monday night and was assigned to the home of S. K. Smith, who is a head cook in the largest hotel, and a man of wonderful ability and influence. He owns a fine home, it is a fine house, and you may know that there were fine doings. But I was not here to see Mr. Smith, but I was invited by Dr. S. H. Thompson. grand chancel- lor of the Knights of Pythias and Mrs. Norene Davis, grand worthy counsellor of the Court of Calanthe to come and be the guest of the two grand bodies, and that is why I was assigned to such a fine place, and that is why T got so much attention ‘They had a great big meeting hore, and they were able to do great things for the whole race. Dr. Thompson is just a man who is orn to lead men, and he is doing it, too, amd when they get sick, he then makes them well, for he is one of the best physicians in this whole state of Kansas. He is some man when it comes to speaking, and he has many friends. He wanted to re- tire, but they would not permit him to do so. Hon. S. W. Green, of Kew Orieans, Supreme Chancellor of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, was the guest of honor and T was just a plain guest. You-see he is somebody and at the head of something, and it is just poor me trying to learn how to write for newspapers, and get things in life as I would like to have them. He is one of the strongest men in this race, and a leader among men You can scratch him in the hand and get him to wink when it comes tq you and bring the other fellow to time. But you may wink and blink all you want to, but if you are not right then the Supreme Chancellor will close his eyes and, apply the law, and when you run into him it is just like run- ning into a buzz saw. He studied his lesson and when he goes to the reci- tation room he is prepared for any- thing, and when it comes to the drill, well, he is head of that. Supreme Chancellor is a safe leader for the American people, and when he is presiding you get all that is coming to you, and that is not say- ing too much. He speaks right out, and when you don’t come up then ‘out you must go. I am sorry that ‘Missouri has fallen by the wayside, but it is no more than I expected. They wanted to stand and see all the others get their bed and walk. He is just a small man, but big in brains. He said so many good things to the I f Kansas and told them al! eet cohen at ws they. a ee | Supreme Chancellor Green did no! / ything abo ori, but it jam told that the Grand Lodge of ‘Missouri voted that the Supreme Lodge could go where it was “perpetual summer, and where the wind was never known to blow, for ‘they were not going to pay any taxes and could live without the Supreme Lodge. Then there was Mrs. Norer Davis, who is just a worker. “he has such a sweet, loving disposition that she is loved by all the women, ‘and they voted her a vacation trip to California and the West and she is just going and is going to enjoy herself. They just presented her with all the things she needed. I mean she is to go to California in style, and what it takes to go in style she will have it, for the women are go- ing to see to that part of it. Mrs. Davis has promised to have some real chicken for me, and some other good things, and the only thing necessary is for me to be on hand. and they will divide the eats with me. I guess I will just eat my fool brains out, and then eat them in again, I met many good people there, such as Mrs. Drumgound, the Misses Garrett and Perkins, and I could just talk about them all day and then take part of another day. Junction is an aggressive city, and ‘our people down there are doing things. They own some real fine homes, and the people all joined in making it a success. The uniform rank was out in full under General Thomas Kennedy, and then the Chamber of Commerce just told them Pythians to say what they wanted and they could have it, for they were glad to have them in town. I heard them tell the people that they wanted 75 automobiles for the parade and they were there. The leading white people donated their cars for the oc- casivm, and declared it was a pleasure to do so. We had one more time in the town, and all left with praises on their lips about the city.

Prof. Inman Page is one of the greatest school men in America, say- ing nothing about race or color. He is refined, polished, and a man of wonderful ability. He got his degree from Brown University, way up yon- der in New England, and then he has kept up every since. He is a reader, and thinker and a scholar. I am sure that the people of Missouri will rejoice to know that he is to be on hand next fall when the schoo! opens, and you are going to have big doings. I think I will bring Wais letter to a shut up, and write you again soon. CHARLES E. STUMP.

When I wrote to you last week, I was down in North Carolina, the guest of so many big people I could not tell you them all, but after tak- ing a special meal with W. Gomez, of the Bankers’ Fire Insurance Com- pany, I then got myself in shape and left for another part of the world Back to Raleigh, where I found Hon. Berry O'Kelly, the great leader and worker in the National Negro Business League waiting for me to come on down to see him. He had me to promise to meet him in Norfolk when the National Business League meets there; and I expect to be right ‘on hand, and when I get through I am going to beat it to Richmond, Va, to speak at the Fifth Street Baptist church, and from there I will go to Washington, New York, Chicago, and then on to California. I will be there to the National Baptist convention. I have kept before you National meeting after National meeting, and now they are reaching the end. The National Allen Christian Endeavor League convention or congress will be in Chicago August 16, and there will be many people there for that big meeting. You will be interested to know that when the National Baptist convention meets in Los Angeles, Cal., Septem- ber 6, the Rev. Dr. A. M. Townsend will be able to report that they are working on our new publishing house and that it is going to be the finest in this country owned and operated by us. The buildings are being torn down now, and then will follow the foundation. They have put some money into this, and it is going right ‘on. Those who go to Nashville, will be able to see just what we Baptists are doing. Be in Los Angeles, and hear Dr. Townsend make his report. and get some new inspiration. But I started to tell you about this place. I got down here Monday night and was assigned to the home of S. K. Smith, who is a head cook in the largest hotel, and a man of ‘wonderful ability and influence. He ‘owns a fine home, it is a fine house, and you may know that there were fine doings. But I was not here to see Mr. Smith, but I was invited by Dr. S. H. Thompson, grand chancel- lor of the Knights of Pythias and Mrs. Norene Davis, grand worthy counsellor of the Court of Calanthe to come and be the guest of the two grand bodies, and that is why I was ‘assigned to such a fine place, and that is why I got so much attention. They had a great big meeting here, and they were able to do great things for the whole race. Dr. Thompson is just a man who is Sorn to lead men, and he is doing it, too, and when they get sick, he then makes them well, for he is one ‘of the best physicians in this whole state of Kansas. He is some man when it comes to speaking, and he has many friends. He wanted to re- tire, but they would not permit him to do so. = Hon. S. W. Green, of New Orleans, Supreme Chancellor of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, was the guest of honor and I was just a plain guest. You sec he is somebody and ‘at the head of something, and it is just poor me trying to learn how to write for newspapers. and get things in fife as I would like to have them He is one of the strongest men in this race, and a leader among men You can scratch him in the hand and get him to wink when it comes to you land bring the other fellow to time. But you may wink and blink all you want to, but if you are not right then the Supreme Chancellor will close his eyes and, apply the law, and whe: you run into him it is just like rut: ning into a buzz saw. He studied hi lesson and when he goes to the reci tation room he is prepared for any: thing, and when it comes to the drill well, he is head of that. Supreme Chancellor is a safe leades for the American people, and wher he is presiding you get all that is coming to you, and that is not say- ing too much. He speaks right out and when you don't come up then ‘out you must go. I am sorry that Missouri has by the wayside, but it is no than I expected. They wanted to ‘and see all the others get their bed and walk. He is [just a small man, but big in brains He said so many good things to the ‘Knights of Kansas and told them al about the other jurisdictions and what they were doing. jam told that the Grand Lodge of |Missouri voted that the Supreme ‘Lodge could go where it was "perpetual summer, and where the wind was never known to blow, for ‘they were not going to pay any ‘axes and could live without the Supreme Lodge. Then there was Mrs. Norem Davis, who is just a worker. She nes such a sweet, loving disposition ‘that she is loved by all the women, ‘and they voted her a vacation trip \to California and the West and she is just going and is going to enjoy herself. They just presented her with all the things she needed. I mean she is to go to California in style, and what it takes to go in style she will have it, for the women are go- ing to see to that part of it. Mrs. Davis has promised to have some real chicken for me, and some other good things, and the only thing necessary is for me to be on hand. and they will divide the eats with me. I guess I will just eat my fool brains out, and then eat them in again. I met many good people there, such as Mrs. Drumgound, the Misses Garrett and Perkins, and I could just talk about them all day and then take part of another day. Junction is an aggressive city, and our people down there are doing things. They own some real fine homes, and the people all joined in making it a success. The uniform rank was out in full under General ‘Thomas Kennedy, and then the Chamber of Commerce just told them Pythians to say what they wanted ‘and they could have it, for they were glad to have them in town. I heard them tell the people that they wanted 75 automobiles for the parade and they were there. The leading white people donated their cars for the oc- casion, and declared it was a pleasure to do so. We had one more time in the town, and all left with praises jon their lips about the city. Here I am moving again, and so will rejoice with me to know (.t Prof. Inman E. Ps as been etect ed at the head of (ircvin Uaiversics, Jefferson City, Mo. He pat ‘its! school on the may a lore time ago, and then left it. It has never bere what it was when ie feft it, bet pet it down now that it < to rank with the best schools again. > this man is going to make it so. Prof. Inman Page is one of the greatest school men in America, say- ing nothing about race or color. He is refined, polished, and a man of wonderful ability. He got his degree from Brown University, way up yon- der in New England, and then he has kept up every since. He is a reader, and thinker and a scholar. I am sure that the people of Missouri will rejoice to know that he is to be on hand next fall when the school ‘opens, and you are going to have big doings. I think I will bring this letter to a shut up, and write you again soon. CHARLES E. STUMP.

Sounds can generally be heard much farther by night than oy day; some- “tmes ten or even twenty times as far, One reason is that the air at night contains, as a rule, few eddies and other local distrubances, such as break up the sound waves by day.
