The thirty-sixth annual Baptist convention opened its first session Wednesday morning at Armory hall, Fourteenth street and Michigan avenue. The attendance was an unusually large one. When the convention was called to order at 10:30 o'clock by Vice President Robert Mitchell, D.D. of Lexington, Ky., "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name," was led by a chorus of 150 voices and joined in by 1500 delegates, representing thirty-eight states marked another great epoch in the history of this great church. There will be three sessions daily until its adjournment next Monday night. Divine services were led by the Revs. J. J. James of Alabama, William Robinson of Louisiana and William Hicks of Mississippi. A plantation melody of Negro folk songs was sung by the chorus and prayer was offered by Dr. C. H. Clark of Tennessee. The theme for discussion in the opening session was "The Work of the Holy Spirit," led by J. J. James of Alabama, and discussed by H. C. Stevens of Mississippi, E. E. Hawthorne of Tennessee, H. M. Williams of Texas, William Jones of Texas and V. S. Smith of Kentucky. An ovation of five minutes duration was accorded Dr. E. P. Jones of Vicksburg, Miss., president of the convention, as he was being escorted to the platform. Rev. T. J. King, secretary of the convention, who halls from Richmond, Va., read the program for the entire session. It was adopted as submitted A VOL. 3.

Messages also stated that other large delegations were en route. Crowd Too Large for Hall. It became evident early that the auditorium was not sufficient to take care of the attendance. Dr. Robert Mitchell of Kentucky was called upon to preside and immediately he introduced the Rev. J. W. Hurse, pastor of St. Stephen's Baptist church and chairman of the local reception committee, who introduced W. C. Houston, attorney at law who delivered an address of welcome as a proxy for Mayor Edwards. The Rev. W. M. Thomas, pastor of Allen Chapel A. M. E. church, extended a welcome on behalf of the Methodists of the city. Nelson C. Crews, past grand master of the Negro Masons, delivered an address of welcome on behalf of the Negro business men and Negro press. A telegram was read from S. W. Brown of Columbia, S. C., announcing his serious illness. Responses to the addresses of welcome were delivered by Drs. R. B. Porter of Little Rock, Ark., and D. E. Over, pastor of Zion Baptist church, Denver, Col. President Jones then appointed as a committee on finance the Revs. C. H. Clark of Tennessee, E. W. Bowen of South Carolina, D. B. Gaines of Arkansas, M. M. Haynes and E. H.

Woods, moderator of the General Association of Kentucky; L. L. Campbell, president of the general convention of Texas; S. S. Jones, president of the Progressive Baptist convention of Oklahoma, and J. P. Robinson, president of the Progressive Baptist convention of Arkansas, were named to make preparations. Jubilee Songs a Feature. The devotions at the evening session were led by Drs. J. J. McCutchon of Kentucky and P. A. Prince of Teaxs. More than thirty minutes were then given to the song service in which familiar jubilee songs were rendered. The convention sermon was preached by the Rev. John E. Wood, D.D., moderator of the General Baptist Association of Kentucky. Partial reports from the finance and enrollment committees were made. Thirty-six years ago the three families of Negro Baptists—the foreign mission convention, which confined its work to Africa; the old American Baptist convention, doing special home mission work in the United States, and the national educational convention, doing educational work throughout the country—became federated under one head known as the national Baptist convention, which has met annually since in various sections of the United States. Twenty years ago the convention met in Kansas City. Training ministers for Negro churches throughout the United States is the work that is to be pushed vigorously at this session of the convention. The ultimate plan is to establish a national theological seminary where the members of the church may procure theological training that will fit them for the high calling of the ministry. The public is invited to attend the formal opening of the twenty-first annual session of Western University on Monday, Sept 11th at 11 a.m. in the chapel. A splendid program including selections by Mrs. Emma C. Payne, Miss B. B. Douglass and others will be given. Color Slavery One is not a little grieved when he is made to observe the subtle slavery that is creeping over some of our citizens. The white man is thinking too much about the colored man. The preposition "about" is used advisedly. If he were thinking OF the colored man there would be a great difference in the treatment accorded him. To think about is not to be in real possession of the facts. To think of [Pictorial portrait of a man in formal attire]. is to know the data bearing on the subject considered. The slavery of color shows itself at almost every move during the labors of the day. If a man of color enters a street car their thoughts are about him. If he occupies a seat alone their thoughts are about him while they stand at attention by the side of his seat. If he enters a cafe, silence reigns, thoughts are about him. If he shows a desire to relieve himself of hunger, striking thoughts are about him and they become audible and demand that he take his hungry stomach outside—no thought, no care as to whether it ever again has a peristaltic action. Should he desire to have his mind ADVOCATE JACKSON, JOHNSON AND WYANDOTTE COUNTIES EXHIBITERS SEPTEMBER 11.12.13.14.15.16 LINCOLN ELECTRIC PARK 20th and Woodland, Kansas City, Mo.

A. GREGG. stimulated by the best film scenes at the popular prices thoughts about him deprive him of the privilege. Should he desire to visit some of the church services ugly frowns, peculiar facial expressions, restless attitudes, reveal the fact that thoughts about him have supplanted the otherwise peaceful and devotional spirit. Christianity under such conditions has a hard battle for first place against THOUGHTS ABOUT HIM. One could go on and mention many similar instances. If they of the white race would only think of the man of color as a man, as one who is intensely human, who has a heart, whose every beat is dear to him, who feels, in fact, is in possession of the five senses which are endowments of all humanity and are in immediate touch or capable of being in touch with this glorious world that God has created for that purpose, who builds himself a home and loves it—Why continue? One feels like the apostle Paul when he was called upon to give his record when he said, "I speak as a fool" so unnecessary is it to prove the humanity of the man of color. No man is responsible for his color. Men are not held responsible for Why stress on color. A MAN'S A MAN. These United States are in sore NO. 3 Popular Prices need of emancipation from color slavery. How much of progress, how much of joy, will come into the lives of every American citizen when he emancipates himself from this knowing, nagging, stullifying, peace-breaking comfort-destroying, business-disturbing, soul-dwarfing, the love of Christ eliminating, God-disowning and denouncing color slavery. May God with his unfailing love help us in this emancipation that we may truly call Him Father and man cur brother.. G. A. GREGG. JOHN A. HODGE. The new principal of Sumner High school who was elected unanimously last spring by the board of education to succeed J. M. Marquess who resigned to accept the presidency of Langston University, Langston, Oklahoma. Mr. Hodge was selected purely on his merits as he knew nothing of an appointment to be made until he was notified he had been honored with this position. We predict for the new principal who will begin next Monday as the head of one of the best high schools in the country, a continuation of its past record and with its future keeping apace of a progressive age. We regret that Mr. William Miller, who lives on Freeman avenue, was run over by an automobile and is now at the Genera' hospital. Mrs. Lydia Richardson of 848 Freeman avenue has been quite sick for the last few days, but she is much better now. SUBSCRIPTION.

The relationship between the diseases of men and of animals has been as much neglected in this country as it has been studied in the tropics. For this reason we are profoundly ignorant of the role which animals play—if they play any role at all—in the dissemination of epidemics. Special interest attaches, therefore, to a communication to the National Medical Journal, which describes how an outbreak of diphtheria in an orphanage was traced back to some cats in the building. Sixty-nine cases of diphtheria out of a total of 71 came, it was found, from the boys' house. After many investigations and precautions such factors in the production of the disease as sanitary defects, contaminated water supply and food were eliminated. Realizing that there must be a carrier of the bacillus, the physician in charge decided to turn his attention to the cats and took swabs from all their throats. On bacteriological examination it was found that the four cats from the boys' side of the orphanage were suffering from diphtheria; the four cats from the girls' side, although showing other microorganisms in profusion, did not prove to have the true diphtheria bacillus. The cats were destroyed, and after that only ten more cases of diphtheria occurred. They occurred within a few days, showing that they had already become infected when the cats were destroyed. There have been no cases since. This tends to show that cats are, or can be, carriers of diphtheria. GOES SOUTH OF THE YANGTSE Expedition From the American Museum of Natural History Is to Explore Strange Lands. According to Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of the zoological expedition of the American Museum of Natural History, "the vast Tibetan region, north of the Himalayas mountains," is the region where remains of the early mammals, including man, may be found. The scope of the expedition is primarily zoological rather than anthropological, however. Little is known of the large territory lying south of the Yangtse river, and the expedition, which will approach Central Asia by way of China, will spend much of its time in that neighborhood, and particularly in the wild and mountainous province of Kweichau, which, says Mr. Andrews, "is probably the most interesting of all, and is certainly one of the least known." One thing that makes this province interesting is the presence of the independent tribe called the Mlaotse, of which little is known. Among other places, the expedition will visit Foochow, on the coast between Shanghai and Hongkong, where an effort will be made to get a specimen of a tiger hitherto uncatalogued by science. This animal, according to amateur naturalists, is "a handsome beast, with a Maltese ground color." The Advocate's new location is 834 Nebraska Ave. Republican JOHN T.
