Kansas City Advocate

KANSAS Subscription $1.00 Per Annum Furniture, Brigade Meeting of MUCH IMPORTANT BUSINESS WAS TRANSACTED—REGIMENT WAS WELL REPRESENTED—PROS PECTS LOOK GOOD TO GENERAL MILLER. The Brigade meeting of the uniform department of the Knights of Pythias of the state of Kansas, which convened in the city Monday, March 27, was well represented from companies in the Grand Jurisdiction. The session was opened on said date at 2 p. m. in Slaughter hall, 1309 North Ninth street with Brigadier General Miller of Wichita in the chair. There Gen. R. R. Of Chicago, Head of the U Knights of Pythias of t 中海 Gen. R. R. JACKSON Of Chicago, Head of the Uniform Department of the Knights of Pythias of the Supreme Jurisdiction were about 25 officers present and it did not take long for this soldierly bunch of Sir Knights to get down to real business. General Miller in a few well chosen remarks stated the object of his general orders in making this call. Captain Jones of Wichita, was selected secretary. Certain needs and equipment for the regiment were lively and enthusiastically discussed by Sir Knights from various companies throughout the jurisdiction, after which the chair was empowered to appoint designated committees. After such committees were appointed the session, recessed for one hour that the various committees might do their work. At 5:30 the brigade reassembled and listened to the committee's report in which many splendid ideas and recommendations were presented to the brigade for their consideration and of which a large per cent of them were adopted. It was decided at this meeting that the regiment hold an encampment at Independence, Kas., during the grand lodge session which will be held in that city in July. A regimental band was discussed and some steps were taken to organize one in the near future. General Miller who is at the head of this department feels much elated over the prospects of this department, becoming soon one among the strongest of the order in the West Col. Prince Edwards of Wichita, is one of the boys, whose work and enthusiasm in building, up the regiment is worthy of much consideration. In not being able to get the secretary's minutes we are unable to give the names of all of those who were present, so we will have to omit the names of those attending. There are 9 companies in the state at the present time, and before the encampment takes place it is expected at least three more will be added. Mid-West company No. 2 of this city entertained the Brigade while here. One noticeable officer,and an import- VOL. 2. Finisher and Regiment Closes, Fine Session ant one was present. Major W. D. Holmes, chaplain of the regiment who is pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church of this city. A finer looking set of men never met in Kansas City than this military body. The Kansas City Advocate was made the official organ of the uniform department of this state. This being the first brigade meeting ever held in the state, and as it would be history to this organization, a photograph' was made of the brigade from the steps of Sunner High school. The final was a military ball at M. & O. hall Wednesday evening. JACKSON Uniform Department of the the Supreme Jurisdiction A RECITAL — EXTRAORDINARY — MUSIC LOVERS WILL BE PLEASED. On Thursday evening, April 6th, Kansas City, Kansas, will have an opportunity to sit and enjoy to the fullness of their musical being at which time Major N. Clark Smith will present Madam Ada Lyons in recital, assisted by orchestra. There are probably many in this city who are not aware that we have one who has made this city her home for some years that ranks with those in song of high class. Madam Ada Lyons is one of that class and when you hear this talented prima dona in recital, one will readily understand why she is envied. Those who will be for funate enough to be present on April the 6th at the First A. M. E. church will most undoubtedly be fathomed with a revelation of this song bird PASTOR OF NINTH STREET M. E CHURCH LEAVES FOR CONFERENCE. Rev. Dr. McMorris and wife left Tuesday afternoon for Muskogee. Okla., to be in attendance of his annual conference which convened Thursday morning at 9 a. m. in that city and will close Sunday night or Monday. Dr. McMorris has been at the Ninth St. church for 2 years and has been quite a successful pastor while this congregation is not so large in number, its one which can be relied upon when it comes to duty. This years work has been one of much rejoicing, both spiritually and financially. A mortgage of over $600 which has burdened its members for some time was cancelled this year placing the church on record with a clear title. The church raised more than $2000 this year, which is a high compliment to the pastor and his congregation. Without a doubt Dr. McMorris will be returned to this city for another year. CITY And Independent KAÑSAS CITY, KANSAS, Md Repairer, All KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, MAR.31, 1916 OVERWHELMING INDORSEMENTS FOR COL. LITTLE—STRONGEST MAN IN THE DISTRICT CONCEDED SAYS THE PRESS. Coloney Free Press (Wm. L. Payton): Colonel Ed C. Little of Kansas City is warming up to the campaign for congress in the second district and the second district seems to be showing a fondness for Colonel Little, if newspaper comment is any criterion of a man's standing. The editors in the district usually reflect the sentiment of the boys at home so it may be put down as a safe bet that this end of Kansas would like to see Little go to congress. There are some well founded reasons for this feeling. Ed is one of those rare characters with a facility for doing various things and doing them well. He served as minister to Egypt under Ben Harrison and with credit to our diplomatic corps. Egypt is not a snap of a job, because the Suez canal is the commercial center of the powers of the world, will always be, and the present war may see it change ownership as it will several times in the next thousand years. Colonel Little is personally acquainted with such men as Kitchener of Khartoum, Lord Cromer, Count von Leyden, Mouktar Pasha, and many other big men who are helping shape the world's destiny now. This knowledge gained in actual diplomatic service would give the second district prestige and standing from the jump with Little in Congress. Then there is his war record as a member of the Twentieth Kansas—flawless and honorable. He was on the firing line with the boys and knows exactly what is meant by war. This knowledge fits in so amphatically with the trend of work of the years in which we live that it adds to his eminent fitness for the office for which his friends urge his nomination. Little is a graduate of Kansas University and a lawyer of thirty years successful practice. He has a mathematical mind, meaning that he is qualified to work out social and industrial, military and foreign questions to their smallest detail, their most remote decimal. It takes a mathematician to properly solve any problem and he must know the laws governing the case in question, (and Little was tendered the Assistant Professorship of Mathematics at the University of Kansas when he graduated). He possesses the information at first hand—diplomat—soldier—lawyer—clean citizen. In his MAJOR N. CLARK SMITH Presents Mme. ADA LYON ASSISTED BY ORCHESTRA RECITAL THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1916. FIRST A. M.

Mr. Daniel Pierce, while at work Monday at the Y. M. C. A., corner Lighth and Minnesota avenue at 1:15 p. m. with his hands gripped to the handles of the tool (wheelbarrow) which he was using to make the daily bread for himself and wife, swooned away and in a few seconds was as lifeless as the tool he had just been transferring brick on. Mr. Pierce lived at 2915 North Tremont where a wife was busy and thinking about the evening meal for Dan and probably what would be nice for her husband's pail for the next day, but soon a messenger arrives at her door and with a quivering voice informs her that the watchman had made His call of her companion and loved one and that he had submitted to His will. How sad must have been the hour. Mr. Pierce was 59 years of age and was one of our well known and respected citizens. He leaves a wife who has the sincere sympathy of the community in this sudden hour of bereavement. A NEW GROCERY OPENED IN THE OLD KING STAND AT 1208 NORTH NINTH STREET. Mrs. V. M. Johnson has opened up a grocery in the room that Mr. King occupied so long at 1208 North Ninth street. This is an old stand and the location is a good one for a business of this kind. Mrs. Johnson is an experienced grocery woman and the stock which she carries will convince anyone of her knowledge of the business. She handles only fresh and sanitary goods that are clean and wholesome, at all times. This store carries everything that is staple in the grocery line, fruits and a nice fresh line of lunch goods. Also fresh and dried meats. This new grocery invites the public to call in and get acquainted and look over the stock of table necessities and we further wish to say our motto is to give you the best and the most at a small margin of profit. Our store, remember, is opposite the Metropolitan Baptist church, 1208 N 9th St. All garments treated with hot dry steam, thereby giving new life to the goods and making them comparatively new, at the New Miller Laundry. N. B. Robinson, Agent. ADVOCATE idle moments he has been the author of several sketches of western life in the big magazines. His personal habits are above reproach. Then he has a fine little wife, and a son on the Midget basketball team at the High school, a manly little chap, a chip off the old block. He is just as game as his dad. Mrs. Little (who is secretary of the Kansas City Council of Clubs) is the author of a book that portrays in regular order the miracles and work of Christ. The rights of Kansas men and women are safe in the Colonel's hands. He typifies loyalty to state and nation. He believes in giving the children a chance, possibly one of the biggest tasks in America today. He is not only a dreamer of good dreams, but has the power to make our national dreams come true. So it is little wonder that Mr. Little is a prime favorite in Kansas and that he is surely on his way to congress from the second district. Lawrence Daily Gazette. (C. S. Finch): Just now the political parties are not looking so much for any particular men as they are for candidates who are next to the people, who know what the people want, and who are willing and able to get it for them. Political parties have come to realize that they must have men, strong, able men, to put forward, for the day has gone by when men cast their votes for the "yellow dog" because he is on their ticket. If a party hopes to win, it must nominate men who are worthy and able. It is this idea that is making the candidacy of Colonel E. C. Little popular in the second congressional district. He is recognized as an able man, indeed no question as to his ability is ever raised. That he would make an ideal congressman goes without saying, and that he is popular with the voters was shown by the overwhelming endorsement he received from the voters of this congressional district when he was a candidate for justice of the supreme court. If the Republicans nominate him for congress he will repeat that vote when November comes, and lead the ticket in this district. MAN FALLS FROM WAGON—RUNS ACROSS CHEST. Robert Austin, of 423 Minnesota, fell from a transfer wagon Thursday morning near Sixth and State and the wheels of the big heavy wagon passed over his chest. He was immediately taken to Dr. Soanes office. While Mr. Austin was hurt badly about the chest it is not thought it is anything serious. He drives for Tobe Smith. NEW BUSINESS FIRM. Mr. A. J. Bouldin of Denver, Colo. and Mr. J. L. Pattrick of this city, have opened up in business at 1606 North Fifth street where they will do cleaning, dyeing and high class tailoring for ladies and gentlemen. They will also carry a fine stock of millinery goods. Their rooms are fitted up in elegant style and their furniture shows excellent taste. This firm will keep apace with the times with auto delivery. These two enterprising young men will do doubt do a nice business in their line. OFF FOR CONFERENCE. The Rev. Dudley Smith, his wife and daughter, Miss Bertha, of 930 Oakland avenue, left Tuesday night at 10:30 for Muskogee, Okla., where they will be in attendance of their annual conference of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Oklahoma of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Andrew Wilson accompanied the Smiths, and is a lay representative to the conference. Mrs. Bettie Scott of Memphis, Tennessee, sister to Mrs. C. R. Johnson, of 1964 North Sixth street, also formerly of Kansas City, Kas., returned home this week. She was highly entertained while here eight weeks by Mrs. J. I. Davis, Mrs. M. Miller, Mrs. D. Pinkard, T. H. Dickerson, Mrs. Della Carmeron, Mrs. Wm. Price and other friends. The Argentine Baptist church will have on tomorrow (Saturday) evening a turkey dinner which will be a large affair. A fine program will be rendered during the evening. This church is working hard to remodel their church which is badly needed. Go and help them.

The Sumner Night Exercises had a very large crowd at the two programs held the same night. The first program was the real Sumner program. It had the fine chorus and the Girls' and Boys' Glee club. Miss M. Allen gave a fine welcome address. Mrs. J. Smith read a good paper, Prof. Pearson spoke well and the quartet, "The Fortune-teller," led by Mr. Roy Tucker was excellent. Misses L. Jackson, Smith and Mr. Thornton sang and acted very nicely. In the second program. Mr. Matthew Carroll gave a nice welcome address and Attorneys Green and Dr. Radford spoke and the Western U. band under Prof. N. C. Smith, discoursed beautiful music. Little Edward Horsey played a cornet solo with the band. When they played the National Overture and began the "Star Spangled Banner," Mrs. M. C. Matthews arose, then Prof. and Mrs. Bailey, then the great audience arose en masse. This closed the great musical program. The exhibit was one of the best seen yet. A. D. Williams of the night school, made one of the many fine pieces. Prof. Marquess, Prof. Reynolds and the high school staff of teachers deserve praise for their work. We think special mention should be made of the exhibit of the manual training department of which Mr. Mowbray is instructor, as it far surpassed the exhibit of last year, both in pattern and workmanship.

What Should Be the Negroe's Attitude On Preparedness? Messrs P. Gardner and Rev. A. Brown were arrayed against Prof. T. Davis, Mrs. M. C. Matthews and Dr. Love. Pres. Marquess as judge, decided with the three last named persons, that "we should be loyal to this country as it is ours as much as any other race's." At the close Prof. T. Davis requested that Mrs. M. Calaway-Matthews, whose father was free-born, and a sergeant in the Civil war, should lead the audience in singing "America." Mr. J. Truman, the critic, read a good critique. Mrs. Franklin; of 529 State avenue, entertained the stewards last Saturday afternoon at C. M. E. church, Eighth and Nebraska. KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE. And Independent. THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop.

Tang, PhD By SUNEY T. CAPP, PhD. "The Truth About the Bible," about five hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman," three hundred pages, $2.00. "Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy-five pages, $2.00. All cloth-bound. These books treat of the sex of the Bible, and show that the Bible is a book of sex and a book of spirit, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the sex, and that sex-lust was the original sin and cause of death. They are arresting the attention of t medical, scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written in the history of the world. They are daily going to the great thinkers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible, by Sidney C. Tapp, than to be the President of the United States. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so answerable that the human intellect staggers under the ideas presented. For ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will live until time shall be no more. Republics may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die."—Prof. J. Silas Harris, A. M. "Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our jails, insane institutions and hospitals than any other idea that has ever been given to the world, in our opinion, to say nothing of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race. He has indeed produced a world idea that should be in every home and library in the civilized world. We have arranged with the author to fill all orders for these books. Remit price of book or books you desire to this paper and name of the book or books you wish and the same will be sent to you at once. ```markdown ``` FRENCH HAIR GROWER WE GUARANTEE TO GROW THE HAIR—WE DO THE WORK.
