KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THIRTEENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE WESTERN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION AND OF THE LADIE'S AUXILIARY The Guests of Kansas Citians This Week. Fourteen States Represented. Session Closes Sunday Kansas Historical Society KAN VOL. 2. Subscription While The Ad THIRTEENTH ANNUAL CON THE WESTERN BAPT AND OF THE The Guests of Kansas Fourteen States Rep Closes S Fourteen states were represented Thursday morning when the Rev. Dr. T. L. Griffith, of Topeka, called to order the thirteenth annual session of the Western Baptist convention in Pleasant Green Baptist church, of which the Rev. George McNeal is pastor and each delegate took part in the opening devotional services. "If we would amount to anything in this country," said the Rev. Dr. T. L. Griffith, president of the convention, "the Negro must help himself. He must not sit down and expect others to do for him what he should do for himself, but he must be up and doing. He must learn that he must win his way to civilization and the higher things in life as other races have doe, and that civilization is not a garment to be purchased at one of the downtown stores and worn off on first flitting. "We have much to encourage us as a race. Look at our starting point 50 years ago, and see where we are today, we must join in singing the Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad. He has been good to us as a race. Good to us as individuals. "It is indeed pleasing to see so many of you here today. You come to report to each other the result of our conflicts with sin and the devil. We are waging war against sin, against careless living, against crime and criminality. We are praying for the end of the bloody conflict in Europe, and we are sorry that our president should have had so many of the American soldiers killed in Mexico through what we might term blunders. Not only did they kill the white soldiers, but some of our own men marched into death a few weeks ago with songs on their tongues and smiles on their faces. They showed that the Negro is not afraid to die for his country, but march into death for the protection of the honor of his flag like he was marching to a banquet. "Give our lives for our country, and yet we have been told we are not fit to hold office. For some time a Negro has been appointed recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, even by a Democratic president, except the present one. But, friends, we are to talk about Jesus this week and not about politics." Following the opening of the convention a number of committees were announced by President Griffith, and Dr. L. G. Jordan, foreign missionary secretary of the National Baptist convention, was introduced and delivered a short address. He was pleased to be in Kansas and to greet the men and women who were doing so much for the cause of Christ and the race. "This section of the country has always been loyal to the denominational work. You have contributed to its support. We are going to do more than ever for the race after the meeting of the National Baptist convention, September 6, in Savannah, Go. I am glad to note the state which the women took against ignorance and their plea for higher home life. The home has always been and always will be the great civilizer. Men and women are made in the home and the echool simply puts on the finishing touch." Dr. Jordan spoke of how the Negro Baptists of America were publishing their own Sunday school literature, which is a step in advance. He declared that the Negro would have to furnish literature for his boys and girls if he would inspire them. "No one can inspire a Negro like a Negro," he said. Dr. C. T. Fishback of Topeka of the National Baptist convention also delivered a short address. Among the other speakers were Revs. Dr. Carr of Ottumwa, Iowa; O. T. Redd of Missouri; E. Arlington Wilson, former pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church; A. W. Ross, Fulton, Mo. The feature of the morning session was the annual sermon preached by Rev. W. H. Young, D.D., of Springfield, Mo. Dr. Young is one of the best trained young men in the convention, and while his sermon was scholarly, yet it was practical, dealing with the essentials of life. Through the gospel of Christ Jesus he could see all problems, racial or otherwise, solved. "With the spirit of Jesus Christ in the hearts of men," he said, "no man's rights will be tramped upon, but all men will have the same protection under the law, and mob violence and lynching will become a thing of the past." The sermon was punctuated with many "amens" and like expressions of approval. "Kansas is pleased to have you hold this session here," said the Rev. W. A. Bowren, president of the Baptist state convention of Kansas, "and we shall be delighted to have you return to us another year. Rev. Dr. McNeal and his people are in harmony with you and they will do all in their power to make you happy. Then the First Baptist church is opened to you as well as our new Metropolitan Baptist church, which when completed will be one of the best church buildings in the west owned by our people. We are proud of Dr. Holmes." The Rev. E. Arlington Wilson preached the annual educational sermon to the women last night. "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?" was the hymn used to open one of the busiest sessions ever held in the history of the Western convention, presided over by Rev. T. L. Griffith, D.D., of Topeka, Kas., and conducted by Revs. F. K. Nicholson of Davenport, Iowa, and W. T. Botts, of Omaha, Neb. "I believe in prayer," said Dr Botts, and our people must go to praying a little more. It was the prayers of our mothers and fathers that brought them out of bondage, and if we will just take our troubles and mistreatment to the throne a little more we would find many changes. Of course I do not mean pray and sit down, but pray and at the same time work. We have felt the spirit in this meeting, hence we have been able to do great things. I am glad that I am here." Opening the convention for business, Dr. Griffith made a short talk. "Human life and property are too cheap in our country," he said, "and we are praying to the men who make, construe and execute the law, to see to it that every man who comes under the law is punished by it, and not by lawless mobs. Lynching is an awful crime. It makes men and boys blood-thirsty. It makes insacre human life. In an age of civilization like ours, to see human beings barbecued like hogs is an awful blot on our civilization. Protect human life. "What true American does not hang his head in shame over the burning of that boy in Waco, Texas, a few weeks ago. He had been tried and convicted to die, and just as soon as sentence had been pronounced the crowd of lawless men took him out of the court room and burned him on the public square in the presence of men, women and children. But let us not talk about that. We are against crime and criminality, and we are trying to reach our own. We are trying to teach negroes how to live, and we feel that we are doing in this what God would have us do." Dr. Griffith urged the ministers to preach against children gadding around the streets all hours of night, and urged their parents to keep them in schools, out of the dance halls and other places which would tend to destroy their minds. Secretary E. Arlington Wilson, read the journal which was approved, and the Rev. Dr. S. A. Moseley, of St. Louis, Mo., whose work was in Arkansas for a number of years, said that he had only words of praise for the south, because he was born in the And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JULY 14, 1916. south and did not come to abuse it. "I know we have faults there, and I like to look the southern white man in the face and tell him about it," he said, "and not talk at the big gate. He has a long ways to go. Lawlessness and disregard for, human life must be relegated to the rear. They cannot stand in this wonderful age." Rev. A. W. Ross, of Fulton, Mo., in an address, said that he was glad to see the ministers turning attention to the young people. "Our young men and women are going to destruction in many cases, because they have no other place to go. It is not enough to preach young people into the church and then not give them anything to do after you get them in. Human mind demands to be fed. We must have reading rooms, Y. W. C. A's, Y. M. C. A's like other people. We must have something to take the place of the dance hall, the moving picture shows. We must have some place for employment for our young people." "Education," was the theme discussed by the convention today. Attention was directed to the Western College, of which Prof. Inman E. Page, has just been elected as president. He is one of the oldest educators as well as most noted in his race. He is a graduate from Brown University. Providence, R. I., and served many years in Missouri as president of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City. In his opening remarks, Dr. J. T. Caston, president of the Missouri State convention declared that ignorance was a liability to any community, race or individual, and it would pay to strive to get rid of it. He said it was the greatest crime breeder. Judge F. L. Martin, of Tulsa, Okla., perhaps the only negro judge in Oklahoma, was the next speaker. He said that the country was fast learning that it was cheaper to build school houses, employ competent teachers than it was to build jail houses and employ public officers. "Life and property are safe in any intelligent community. "I want to congratulate Kansas upon the splendid schools for the training of the youth in this state. I looked at the beautiful high school building in this city, and thanked God for it. I am told that they seek to employ the best available teachers in schools here for our people, and do not allow politics to enter the selection. I am proud of this." Prof. A. G. W. Sango, president of the Oklahoma Baptist college, Muskogee, delivered an address, as did Prof. Inman E. Page, of Macon, Mo.; W. R. Carter, A. M., of Topeka, Kans.; Mrs. Eva Hicks, of Chicago, Ill.; M. L. Clay, of Kansas City; G. N. Jackson, D.D., Lawrence, Kans.; John Golns, D. D., editor of the Messenger, Jefferson City. Prof. J. R. E. Lee, principal of the Lincoln high school, Kansas City, Mo., was given an ovation when presented to the convention. Prof. Lee, delivered an address speaking in terms of praise of all that had been said by others, and declared after all his people would have to get down to study. I. O. B. and S. of C.

BROWN'S APPEAL TO DELEGATES IN WOMEN'S BAPTIST AUXILIARY CONVENTION. The Negro Race Cannot Afford to Furnish Criminals, Therefore the Youth Should Be Taught to Be industrious—Many Noted Negro Men and Women of the Country Here. "If we would give to the world industrious men and women we must teach our boys and girls to work," was the declaration made by Mrs. J. H. Brown of Des Mines, Iowa, in addressing 300 women at the opening of the second day's session of the Women's Baptist Convention, auxiliary to the Western Baptist Convention. The meetings are being held in the Pleasant Green Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. George McNeal is pastor. The anniversaries of the Western Baptists brings to Kansas City, Kansas, some of the most noted Negro men and women of the country, who are working for the moral, intellectual and spiritual uplift of their people. The women held session two days, and was followed Thursday by the meeting of the general convention. In her opening address Mrs. J. H. Brown made a strong appeal for the girls and boys of her race, declaring that the Negro could not afford to furnish criminals of the west, therefore he should teach his children how to work. "The idlers are the criminals of this country," she said, "I care not what their race or color may be, and if we teach our children that they are too good to work, then we teach them at the same time that they are bound for prison, for dens or shame. It is today easier for any family to save their boys and girls than it is to reform men and women. Now is the time. "This west is full of opportunities Program Wyandotte Lodge No.3 Progress Juvenile No.1 for any people who are thrifty, industrious, reliable and honest, and none others need apply. Do not sit around and complain about race or color, but use that time and energy in doing things. We are glad to see so many homes represented in this meeting." The convention opened with impressive song and prayer service and the reading of the journal. The Rev. W. A. Bowren of Kansas City, Kansas, president of the Kansas Baptist state convention, delivered a short address in which he told of their efforts to better the condition of their people and make them strong men and women. "We are doing all that we have heard your president say, and we are trying to look after old folks as well as widows and orphans, and in this way we are meeting with success. We are glad to have you in our city." "The Negro must go to work and do things," declared the Rev. George McNeal, "and stop so much dispensing hot air. Talk is so cheap. You are welcome to be with us. Here are the keys to our church, and they will also unlock our homes and our pocketbooks. We are proud of you." The Rev. Dr. E. Arlington Wilson of Muskogee, Okla., who was for many years pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, Kansas City, Kansas, addressed the convention. He is one of the secretaries of the National Baptist convention which meets next September in Savannah, Ga. Dr. Wilson told of the good work being done by the convention and of the publication of literature in Nashville, under the new board of convention with Prof. S. P. Harris, secretary. Prof. Inman E. Page, formerly of Langston University, Langston City, Okla., addressed the convention. He has just accepted the presidency of Western College, Macon, Mo., and told of the plans to enlarge the work and its influence. Prof. Page is one of the many noted Negro educators in the country. He is a graduate from Brown University, and for a number of years was president of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., going from there to establish Langston University, the state school for Negroes. He declared that the great liability to the Negro race in America was ignorance, and he wanted the whole race to join in an effort to wipe it out. The reports of officers were made this morning and Rev. I. T. Thomas, D.D., of Evanston, Ill., delivered an address. Memorial services were held for E. J. Fisher, Chicago, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Prof. H. I. Monroe presided. Mrs. S. Howze of Illinois sang a solo. RELECTION TO BISHOP PARKS. On Wednesday evening hundreds of Methodists and friends wended their way to Allen Chapel, K.

An elegant program was rendered, made up from the churches of Greater Kansas City. Refreshments were served. ASSOCIATE PRESS REPORTER AT CONVENTION. Hon.

TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL SESSION OF SUNFLOWER GRAND LODGE —GRAND COURT OF CALAN-THE—JULY 25, 26, 27. Independence, Kas., July 14.—The Sir Knights and the members of the Court, with their many friends of both races are making great preparations for the entertaining of the two grand bodies which will convene for a three days' session here week after next, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, July 25, 26, 27th.

The Republicans of Smith county present to their fellow Republican voters of Kansas, Dan B. Dyer, for the office of State auditor, and ask their support for this competent, qualified and worthy citizen. Smith county people, without regard to party will bear testimony of his high character. Here where he has been known from boyhood, Mr. Dyer, if nominated by the Republicans, will receive hundreds of votes from men and women of other political faiths at the November election. This is because he has always stood four-square in politics and public and private affairs. The above from the Smith county Pioneer, Mr. Dyer's home, is high tribute. Dan Dyer will make a faithful and efficient State Auditor. Here in Kansas City, and elsewhere over the state, the colored voters are lining up for this worthy man. The Advocate bespeaks for Mr. Dyer the support at the primary of every Republican man and woman who wishes to see in the Auditor's office an official who is in every way qualified and competent. A man who has always stood by the laboring man. A man whose life has been of that kind when his name is called, speak well of him. A safe thing to do is to vote for Dan Dyer. The Misses Bertha and Helen Mondy two accomplished young women of Denver, Colo., stopped off on their way home from their respective schools, Washington, D. C., and Atlantic City, and were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Squire Lee of 1050 Freeman avenue. Men's Suits Cleaned and Pressed 75c Ladies' Suits Cleaned and Pressed $1.00 up. WHERE?

H. French Minnie Cooper Cora Taylor Mary Brooks Alice Dabney R. N. Reed Lizzie Cole Susie McHenry M. J. Bailey Mattie Ward Mrs. S. A. Thompson DR. E. D. WILLIAMS, OUR Ten consecutive years of gratuitous public service seems a long time. The question is often raised as to whether or not a man is genuinely appreciated who gives so bountifully of himself for others; who absents himself so frequently from his own fireside, denying himself these simple, but real, comforts obtained only in the home; who forsakes his business or profession when it needs him most; who encourages the wrinkles of time to introduce themselves before their natural season; who oftimes plays with undue exposure in wintry weather; who risks his life, knowing that there is no other compensation than that of feeling that he has discharged his whole duty toward his fellow man. Yet there are men who are doing these things daily the world over, and in our own community we have such magnificent characters, the chief among these is Dr. E. D. Williams, who for a whole decade has been spending himself freely for all of the boys and girls of our own municipality. Quiet, unassuming, not given up advertisement, but a man whose heart beats for all of the people—to whom the interests of the little black boy is as dear as those of any other being. As a member of the board of education he has been faithful, and the thorough technical training he received prior to his taking up the practice of medicine has proven a splendid asset in his present capacity as chairman of the committee on buildings and grounds. He is ever on the job and has been found on the right side whenever any proposition came up for additional improvements, equipment, added teachers, or increased building capacity for our Negro schools. That he has been diligent and sincere in his attitude toward all of the schools is indeed highly commendable. That he has looked after the welfare of the Negro boy and of the Negro girl is to us, God-like, and pitiable is he who does not go to the polls and cast his vote for DR. E. D. WILLIAMS for coroner of Wyandotte county. Attorney A. H. Skinner was born in Johnson county, Kansas. He is an educator having spent years, in the public school system of Kansas. He is known by a host of educators and teachers over the state. Mr. Skinner has been a resident of Wyandotte county for eleven years and has been practicing law since his admission to the bar in 1907. He has had an excellent experience in all the courts where he has acquitted himself with credit. He served during the years 1910 and 1911 as secretary of the Mercantile club of Kansas City, Kansas. Attorney Skinner's education, wide acquaintance and legal experience make him well qualified for the service he desires to render as state senator. His is a very agreeable personality. He makes friends readily and holds them. He is asking your favorable consideration for state senator subject to the Republican primaries August 1st. Local Happenings The Baptist convention of the Western state and territories held a large meeting this week at Pleasant Green Baptist church. It closes Sunday afternoon.

ONE OF THE RAGES ABLEST CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYERS VISITS HERE ONE OF THE RAGES ABLEST CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYERS VISITS HERE Hon. Cornellius J. Jones, chief counsel for the Civil War Cotton Tax claimants, has made a sweeping tour of the west in the interest of the case pending in the courts at Washington, D.C. Mr. Jones is a powerful and most logical speaker, and he well sustains his national reputation as one of the ablest constitutional lawyers of the country, without regard to color. The chief counsel accepts no charity, nor donations of money in this case, he bases the management of the case upon the principle that those who raised the war cotton and the children of those who have so labored but have died, are claimants under the terms of the suit filed and each of these must pay $1.75 for his share of the expense of the law suit and only these persons who enroll themselves as claimants can pay any money toward this case at all. Mr. Jones shows from statistics that there were three and a half million negroes in the whole United States when the emancipation proclamation was issued, and more than two million of these lived in states where no cotton was raised. That deducting the house-servants, seamstresses, those who were in the trades, and in rice fields, sugar cane fields, in the coal mines and others not directly engaged in the cotton production, there must be deducted another million and thus it is seen that the roll of claimants will not be nearly so large as some people think. Mr. Jones made a speech at King Solomon Baptist church at Kansas City, Kansas, on Sunday night, July 9th and the church, which is presided over by Rev. J. M. Clay, was packed to overflowing and many had to be turned away. He is invited to address the Western Baptist State Convention at Kansas City, Kansas, held at Pleasant Green Baptist church now in session which he consents to do, and then the chief counsel will return South. Miss Marguerite Johnson of 341 Oakland avenue, delightfully entertained a number of her friends Sunday afternoon in honor of the Misses Queen and Maud Penn of Springfield, Mo., and Miss Lillie Goodall of Marshallfield, Mo. Light refreshments were served. GENI'S LIST Suits, Cleaned and Pressed . . . Coats Cleaned and Pressed . . . Pants Cleaned and Pressed . . . Hats Cleaned and Blocked . . . Hats Made New . . .
