We sometimes think, and in fact oftimes, that our lot is a hard one. But the condition of the American Indian is in many respects miserable. The mass of them is kept on reservations much as cattle are herded on large ranges. They are guarded, supervised, directed and cared for as a child. Their every need of food, raiment, partial education, some degree of religious training or instruction are provided for by the government. They have life, but in the land of their nativity they have not liberty and the pursuit of happiness. One would not like to be kept in his father's house for fifty years, fed, housed, clothed, every need supplied except freedom of action. There are individual-exceptions of course. It is a serious question what the Indian's real status would be if the government would allot him his land, pay him a certain satisfactory sum and then hands off. There is no doubt that the good treatment he is accorded, the absence of restrictive, repressive laws, is due in large measure to the sense of obligation for taking his land. Being cared for like a child of the rich, should he be given his portion, his fifty or more years of training such as it has been, will not enable him to withstand the sharp practices of the get-rich quick schemes of the times. It is quite likely that within a few years he would be without funds and property. It may be that the government senses this possible result and the prevailing system is the result of mercy rather than justice. But as with the child the man it is reasonable to summe that the Indian kongs for freedom. Suppose he is materially paid off. Would he be accorded a man's chance? What race would desire to change places with him now? Would the white man like it? Would the Japanese? Isn't his present condition incompatible with our sense of freedom? Has he not been a ward long enough? If he is kept at home all his life he cannot but be and remain "a child's race." Those who have experienced mountain climbing know full well how kind, helpful and courteous the travelers indiscriminately are. Humanity must climb a little higher in order to be just and fair. NOTICE. Pearly Gate Temple No. 1 will move to 312 Nebraska avenue the first Thursday in August. SUSIE GREGORY, W. P. JOSEPHINE BALDOCK, W. Q.

WILSON PROMISES A BIG SHAKEUP COMPLETE REORGANIZATION OF NATIONAL DEFENSE IS PLANNED. Washington, July 26. Complete reorganization of the committee of the council of national defense has been announced by President Wilson for the near future. The reorganization will institute revolutionary changes in subdivisions which are expected to do much toward tech success of the conduct of the war. It is already apparent big labor leaders are not satisfied with the proposed changes. It was stated on good authority that Samuel Gompers of the Federal Labor League will demand that labor be completely represented on every committee. An official in high authority announced he believes Gompers, if his demand is not granted, will start a movement in direct opposition to the changes as proposed. The Matrona Council from the O. E. S. will give a musical Monday, July 30, in Sumner high school and/orium. THE ADVOCATE DELIVERED AT YOUR DOOR, EVERY WEEK, FOR ORDER PER MONTH.

This-organization is not only trying to have a large membership but is going to really start one of the greatest business enterprises ever had in this city among our people. The large audience present enjoyed the program and especially the talks on the stand this lodge is taking to build our race up in "substance" and not in shadow.

The Men's Forward Movement of the Metropolitan church gave its first reception in honor of the ladies of their church, exclusively, Friday evening July 20th. The first feature of the evening was a brief but splendid program. The music, by the male quartet was extra: Mr. C. White's tenor solo was very good; welcome address, Mr. W. Meeks, was good. They adjourned to the dining hall which apartment was decorated with a profusion of foliage, with bouquets of carnations, ferns and roses, from the conservatory; also, hustituits. The Sykes brothers', fine chefs, were in charge and served excellent summer refreshments abundantly; aided by a large committee, in regulation waiters' suits, who made it pleasant for all. Two of the tables sat 50 at a time. Mrs. M. C. Matthews was selected by the ladies as sponsor to give a toast to the gentlemen and to thank them for entertaining them so readily. The large crowd present was delighted and was given carvations and roses as souvenirs of an event long to be remembered. The Forward Movement was organized by the pastor and Mr. Arthur Younger, a convert from the Neighborhood Bible class, is its president. This shows there are no better receptions given than those given by Christians. Bishop Albert Johnson was especially invited to address the State Mite Missionary society in session at Allen Chapel, Quindaro, Thursday morning. The address was instructive and inspiring. As a result greater effort will be put forth. The ladies Auxiliary to the N. A. P. E. held their regular meeting at the home of Mrs. D. Dunlap Tuesday, July 24th. The following officers were elected: Mrs. D. W. Holmes, President; Mrs. Chas. Starr, Vice-President; Mrs. A. Pepp, Secretary; Mrs. C. A. Young, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. A. Dunlop, Treasurer. The hostess served a delightful collation after which the auxiliary adjourned to meet the first Tuesday in October in the home of Mrs. D. Carr. The usual Sunday morning audience was present and enjoyed Rev. Bowren's sermon, "Jesus Christ, the Shadow of the Rock in a Desert Land." The attention of all was held from beginning to end. All were benefited. The African woman, Miss Sume-Tusu made a few remarks in the morning and lectured at night. It was great. It inspired race pride in every breast. Why shouldn't we be proud to be identified with such a race? K. P. COMPANIES TAKE NOTICE.

THOMPSON, OF KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, RE-ELECTED BY ACCLAMATION GRAND COURT HOLDS SUCCESSFUL SESSION Salina, Kas., July 27.—The Twenty-fourth Annual Grand Session of the Knights of Pythias of Kansas jurisdiction, closed Thursday evening, one of its most interesting and successful sessions. The informal opening end welcome addresses were held Tuesday morning at 9:30 in St. John's Baptist church on North Fifth street. The program was a credit and honor to any city-or people.

The roll was called of the Grand Officers after which the committee on credentials made a partial report, showing thirty-five members represented with nearly two hundred Sir Knights present. At this juncture a recess was taken to put on the P. C. degree which topk up the balance of the afternoon session. Fourteen candidates were given this degree. Wednesday, July 25th. Morning session opened at 9:30 when ~Grand~ Chancellor Thompson made his announcement of all committees. Greetings were received from Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans. At 10:30 the Grand Chancellor made his annual address which in thought, oratory and diction was a masterly bit of eloquence and was said to be the most wonderful ever heard from the lips of any of his kind. The fraternal greeting from the committee to Grand Court made their report and a little later a handsome committee of eight from the Grand Court was received in response to the greeting of the committee from the Grand Lodge. Mrs. Ed. Jones of Kansas City, Kas., represented the committee. Atty. J. H. Guy responded, after—which the Grand Worthy Councillor, Mrs. Mollie Cox, of Kansas City, Kansas, told the members of Sunflower Grand lodge in an eloquent tone what the Calanthes were doing and their relationship to the Grand body. The afternoon session got down to the real business of convention. Reports from the various committees were made, which showed the order to be in an extra, healthy condition, and especially the insurance department which showed between six and seven thousand dollars in its treasury. At 5 p. m. Memorial services were held at St. John's Baptist church on North Fifth street, which was largely attended. Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Wlobita, Grand Prelate, delivered the sermon which carried with it a wonderful influence of Christian manhood and womanhood. Tuesday, July 26th. The morning session was used in hearing reports. At 2 p. m. the great street parade took place with Prince Edwards as Grand Marshal, in charge. It was a grand sight with the officers of the two Grand Bodies in autos and the Sir Knights in line and citizens in their cars. Following the parade a picnic was held at Oakdale park. The local committee entertained the two Grand Bodies Thursday evening at one of the theatres. The Grand Court The Grand Court had a most gratifying session under the leadership of Mrs. Mollie Cox. The sessions were held in St John's Baptist church and a very large attendance was present. The local committee with W. W. Shohe as its chairman, saw that the visitors were royally entertained every minute of their stay. Topeka was selected as the next meeting place. Dr. S. H. Thompson, of Kansas City, Kansas, was re-elected by acclamation for his fourth consecutive year. He has brought the order out of chaos to a growing and healthy condition in the three years of his administration. The union picnic on July 4th, was a success. All things were in common and managed by one committee harmoniously. The division of the proceeds on the following evening was made in a spirit of love followed by prayers by members of the committee, thanking God for his blessings. The pastors are highly gratified with the results of the union services. The possibilities for the future are great, if Jesus is kept in the foreground. Presiding Elder H. W. King, held the Fourth Quarterly conference at Bethel A. M. E. church July 10th. He was pleased with the reports and spoke very highly of the same. Presiding Elder S. A. Stripling, of Topeka, Kas, held the Second Quarterly conference at Shepherd Chaphek the 14th and 15th of July. Along with the splendid reports the elder was pleased to note that more than $650 have been collected on the building fund. The work goes on. The Success club of the Second Baptist church is inviting the union on the fifth Sunday. Each pastor will be expected to make a fifteen minute address. Mr. Lewis an old citizen and civil war veteran and for more than 25 years carrier and special deliveryman in the post office, was married to Mrs. Sarah Williams of Clay Center, Kas., last Thursday evening at the Second Baptist church. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. J. Wilson. More than 600 persons witnessed the ceremony, 400 of whom were white citizens and friends of Mr. Lewis. Aside from a wagon load of gifts, a collection of $14 was taken for the bride. Immediately following the ceremony, the couple was escorted to the automobile of the postmaster who hoisted the U. S. flag and led a parade of 25 cars through the business district. Ovations of this kind by the whites are indeed rare and shows in what esteem Mr. Lewis is held by the best citizens. It is sad but true that many of our people have had more opportunities and advantages than Mr. Lewis but cannot command one-third the respect. It pays to live on the square. Mrs. Mollie Lewis has some very interesting relics. She has a pair of stockings made of cotton in 1810. The wearer was hard on the heels. Made as they were they would be worth several dollars now. Put on what is offered today and before night either heel or toe has made its exit. Another relic was Clark's Magazine in book form. It bears the date of 1806. Some hook hunters might offer quite a sum for it because of its age. A flint lock gun and bayonet harks back to pioneer days. Another is an over-skirt. Many of the women of today would immediately throw it over their shoulders thinking it a cape. It comes through fifty or more years to silently tell its story. A sugar bowl of many years' age ends the list. The Ladies of the Royal House met with Mrs. Mollie Lewis for the purpose of quilting and eating refreshments. The Improvement club was also meeting last Friday afternoon with Mrs. Lewis to plan for entertaining the State Mite Missionary society of the Kansas conference here next Thursday. A great day and evening is expected. Should you miss your paper call Bell 2433W. Let us know. Rev. T. F. Jones preached at Highland Baptist church Sunday afternoon.

So A Clean, Respectful, Family Press Published In the Interpret and Welfare of all Humanity CONSISTANCY IN HUMAN AFFAIRS CONSISTANCY IN HUMAN AFFAIRS THE LITTLE BITTLE KNOW. I am no educated man, and don't know very much; yet I know something that I think my people ought to know. We all know, and have heard a lot, in the 'last few years', about "White man up" and "Nigger down" - Niggers off the police force, and no more Niggers in office, nor anything else decent, and Segregation, and everything to show how much the Nigger is hated and despised, just because he ain't white." Well, if you could, see, what I saw one day this week, you would say, The white man, who has been 'making' and 'standing' for all this low mean feeling and acts against the colored people, is lower and meaner than he claims the colored man is. And that, added to that, he is the biggest liar on earth. Also, that some few of our people are really just what the white man says them are—or are as big focias anybody can get to be. I went to see a Negro woman, who had been injured by the street railway company. I was working in the interest of a Negro lawyer. I found four Negro women, and one Negro man, each working to get the case of a white man—and doing and saying all they could against Negro lawyers. When I saw these people, the parents of Negro children, all of them, working against the interest of colored man; I thought and I asked them, "What was the need of educating their children." I asked them, whether a Negro could go in a white person's home, and work for a colored man, as they were working in this black man's house for white men. And that ain't all. Three of those men, for whom these Negroes were working, have public county offices. Now, I don't know much, but I think I know better than to be guilty of such conduct. And I think our people ought to know just what some of the race is doing, and who they are doing it for; and who it is; that is doing these little acts. And I believe our ministers can do great good showing our people the right ways. Then, may be, they would change their notions about their own race, and its members, as well too of the members of other races. H: C. MYERS. THEY SAY— That Dr. J. W. Lee, a Southern Methodist, preached a beneficial but sad sermon on the crime of murdering our people in East St. Louis. He certainly is our friends the way he preached that sermon. It appeared in the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Have you heard what has become of those strikers who were driven into Arizona? Thought someone said, "If I become a Christian I am afraid I can't enjoy myself." What was any more enjoyment than the Forward Movement reception or the A. M. E. Stufe. Missionary reception? Aren't you glad that at last President Wilson ordered a 5-mile dry zone around military camps? All women ought to register Saturday, July 28th.

I be Gere it because I regard the struggle 2s 3 contest between the forces of au- tocracy and the forces of democracy. ‘Tho fact that selfish interasta are In- Yolred in the war does not alter the fundamental fact, 1 realize that there are many dnd powerful persons ‘who have no higher alm than to get mouey. ‘They care nothing about the “Seals of democracy.

ARETS AND DRINK WANT NO INVESTIGATION OFFICERS DECLINE TO UNDERGO COURT MARTIAL BY MEN AND DISBAND Newark, N. J., July 26.—Charges that girl soldiers drank and smoked at their wireless instructor's house have brought about a hot revolution in this city's regiment of Amazons. The officers say they won't undergo court-martial at the hands of enlisted "men" and the "men" have deserted and formed a new organization, the Women's Military Emergency League of New Jersey. The deserters took along their uniforms, regular army uniforms, even to breeches. There will be no more wireless lessons. The revolt started when Colonel (Mrs.) Ida P. Priest called Lieutenant Clara Clemons on the carpet and accused her of being one of the revelers in the wireless class. Lieutenant Clemons says she then and there offered to prove her innocence before a court-martial, but never received notice of a trial. She and her friends also charge other officers and one of the private drank and smoked. Furthermore Miss Clemons says she wanted to know what Mrs. Priest had done with $13 of the regiment's $11. The commander of the "American Women's League for Self Defense" replied, according to Miss (pardon) Ileutenant) Clemons: "I spent it for various things." The real explosion came in the regiment when Miss Clemons, on behalf of the "non-coms" and privates, asked when they would be called into the government service. According to Miss Clemons, Mrs. Priest replied: "The league isn't recognized by the government. I have nothing to do with the government, never have had and never expect to have." "Well, we were fit to be tied," Miss Clemons declared. "I jumped up and threw my hat in the ring, and I said: 'Right here is where I resign!' didn't I, Aggie?' The rest of the regiment was there, and they said, 'Go to it, Lieutenant; we are with you.' "That's how the regiment revolted. D. G.

ONLY 3 WOODEN CARS BUILT IN YEAR 1916 New York, July 25.—Building of wooden railway cars has virtually ceased, according to a report issued by the special committee on relations of railway operation to legislation. Only three wooden cars were built in 1916 and but ten are under construction at present. There are now in passenger service 39,000 wooden cars, but they are gradually being replaced. The report shows that the enormous cost of replacing wooden cars by steel coaches prevents wholesale changes, but it adds that it is only a question of time before wooden cars will go.

Haynes Groceries 3150 North 27th St. Kansas City, Kansas MOTHER TO 19, REAL HEROINE, ASKS DIVORCE Mrs. Dill Supports Her Own and Neighbor's Children at Wash Tub DREW LINE ON HUSBAND Charges Dill With Non-Support and Says He Is a Burden to Her Not all the world's heroinies are ministering to the needs of wounded soldiers on the battle fields and hospitals of Europe. The filing of a divorce suit in which an overworked mother who supports 18 children with money erned at the washtub, has brought to light in this city a life story of bravery and sacrifice. In the petition, Mrs. John Dill, 56 South Fifth street, alleges she can support the little ones better without her husband than with him, since he spends all his earnings at Kansas City, Mo., saloons and depends on her for board and a part of his clothing. Two besides the 17 of Mrs. Dill's own, are orphaned little ones of a daughter. Mrs. Dill's name first found its way to the newspapers two years ago when a neighbor died, leaving two homeless children. The mother of 17 took them in and cared for them until welfare officers could relieve her of the added burden. The Dills have been married 35 years. They have had 21 children. The oldest is 29 years of age. None is married. The husband of the married daughter whose death added two more children to teh home already crowded with babies contributes nothing, Mrs. Dill said this afternoon, to their support. Dill is a laborer and has never made more than $14 a week, he told officers who served the summons following the filing of the suit. Confronted with a charge of failing to support his brood, Dill said: "What can a fellow do? There are more children in my home than dollars in my pay check." The laborer has not contributed to the upkeep of his household for 15 years, the wife alleges. A year ago he became remoebful after listening to the teachlugs of a noted evangelist, and made a start for the better. His enthusiasm soon waned and his money again began finding its way to the cash register of his favorite State Ling bar. "I have had good times though." Mrs. Dill observed during an interview this afternoon. "Splendid times. Why, once a girls' Sunday school class took me and all the children to the country and we had nothing to do but 'miele' for two weeks." YOUNG K. C. K. SAILOR DIES ON OCEAN JOHN SLAVEN O'CONNOR WAS A MIDSHIPMAN ON DAKOTA Word was received yesterday by Mrs. Julia O'Connor, 36 South Ball- moe avenue, of the death of her son, John Slaven O'Connor, a midshipman on the battleship South Dakota. The telegram stated that he died July 15 and was buried at sea, July, 16. The message was from the navy department and was to the effect that death was due to appendicitis. He enlisted in the navy four years ago, his term expiring July 7. He was on the Pacific coast six weeks ago. The last word received by his mother here was a postal card he sent from Buzon, Panama, just five weeks ago, informing her that he was well and en route for actual war service. While the telegram does not state the locality of the burial at sea, it presumably was at some point along the Atlantic coast. Young O'Connor was born in Kansas City 23 years ago. Besides his mother, three sisters and two brothers, survive. COLORADO WANTS TO PUNISH SLACKER FEDERAL OFFICERS HERE ASKED TO TURN OVER KRUU-TARI. Federal authorities of the Colorado district today wired Fred Robertson, United States district attorney, asking taut Oscar Kruutari, charged with military draft evasion, he turned over to them for prosecution. Kruutari was arrested in Junction City a week ago when C. C. Jackson, chief deputy marshal for this federal district, overheard his boast he had failed to register and "got away with it." The statement was a part of a "free thought" speech being made by the altered slacker, who is a mouthpiece for the American Free thought society. integration from Colorado today re- ceived formulari was in that state, and a new from Purble to Colorado Springs State 5, registration-day.

SECOND CALL IN 1918, CROWDER PROVOST MARSHAL BELIEVES ANOTHER CALL WILL NOT BE MADE THIS YEAR Washington, July 25.—The second increment of the United States army will not be called until 1918, unless a change is made in war plans of the War Department. "I have prepared the machinery of draft to turn only once this year." Provost Marshal General Crowder said this afternoon, "although, of course, Secretary Baker or the General staff may order a change, I believe that it is virtually certain to be no second call in 1917." the ordinary, but that is what Mrs. Frances K.
