BISHOP H. BLANTON PARKS OF THE FIFTH EPISCOPAL DISTRICT PRESIDING—MUCH CREDIT GIVEN TO LOCAL PASTOR, REV. EVERETT—MANY VISITORS PRESENT.
Coffeyville, Kas., Sept. 27.—The forty-second annual session of the Kansas conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church opened more yesterday morning with Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D.D., presiding, and there was much interest manifested in the opening which Bishop Parks conducted.
"And Are We Yet Alive?" was the opening hymn and the opening prayer was made by Rev. C. A. Word. Following the decalogue, Bishop Parks read the 14th Psalm, commenting on the same. His comment was the occasion for many shouts of amon and other expressions of approval. He assured the people that he had a great love for that psalm.
"You should rejoice for this day on which you live," said Bishop Parks, "for this is one of the greatest days in the history of our country. This is a day of opportunities. The day of opportunity which the race has no long needed. A time when we can serve our country as well as our God.
"Our country has a great opportunity to show its ability to cope with great problems and to demonstrate to the civilized world its ability to take its place in the great world war and help to settle it. We are in this war and by the help of God we are going to win. We are going to put down autocracy and establish a world wide democracy. We must do our part. We must not be slackers, don't stand back, do not fear enter into the fray, and do your part."
Following the address and the comment, Holy Communion was administered by Bishop Parks, who was assisted by Presiding Elders H. W. H. Kling, J. T. Smith, A. C. Terrill and J. C. C. Owens. "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone" was bung and the whole conference shook hands.
Roll was called and the following officers were elected: R. C. Henderson secretary; J. W. Williams assistant secretary; T. W. Green, Jr., statistical secretary; P. Snell, W. C. W. E. Whitecomb, Richard Williams, marshals; H. O. Nickens, correspondent to the Southern Christian Recorder, Nashville, Tenn.; E. R. Vaughn, to the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia; J. S. Payne, Western Christian Recorder, Kansas City, Mo.; Charles Stewart, general press agent.
Rev. J. W Rankin, D.D. of New York. Missionary Secretary was introduced and extended courtesies. Dr. Rankin is giving to his church great service in the cause of millions and was given an ovation when presented. Rev. J. C. Caldwell, D.D. of Nashville, Tenn., the leader of the young people, and one of the best trainees young ministers in the connection, was presented. Dr. Caldwell is secretary of the 'Alen Christian Endeavor League; and has given to the young people much inspiration and advice. Recently she has given for the young people two important books, "Social Uplift" and "Bible Manual" in this he has shown his wonderful ability 4,118 leagues throughout the country.
Among the other visitors introduced were Revs. A. A. Gilbert, D.D., of Kansas City; M. W. Moore Red Bird, Okla.; Raymond, Ransom, Detroit, Mich.; G. E. Horsey, Puget Sound Conference; B. M. Sanford, Baptist church, Independence, Kara; Charles Stewart, A.M. D.D., Chicago, head of publicity bureau, food administration, and the wives of the ministers.
The following transfers into the conference were announced and introduced: A. J. Sanders, from the Missouri conference; H. M. Nickens from
Business
the S. W. Missouri conference; J. F. Griffith, from the Central Alabama conference; C. T. Whitcom, from Missouri conference.
The reports of the pasters then took up the morning session. Most of them reported an increase over the previous year. It was interesting from start to finish. Rev. J. R. Ransom reported a large increase from Wichita and the people are asking for his return, while Dr. Griffith comes up with an increase from Kansas City and he is also asked to be returned to the city. These two giants in the conference were given an ovation.
No time in the history of the conference has Omaha had such a large report as the one brought in by the Rev. W. T. Osborne, who has served the charge for five years past. He was given an ovation by the conference, and pronounced the dollar money king.
The work of the presiding elders showed up well. The veteran presiding elder, Dr. J. C. C. Owens, is doing great service for his race as well as for his church. He lives in the hearts of the men. Dr. J. R. Ransom is the choice of the ministers for the episcopacy. He is regarded the leader in the conference.
One of the greatest features in connection with the conference was the reception last night. There is much credit due the Rev. R. S. Everett, D.D. pastor, and his good people. Addresses of welcome were delivered. The mayor was represented by Hon. F. M. Boeifeed and the church by Rev. J. A. McCallister D.D.
Following the address, a banquet was served to the ministers and their wives. There are many visitors present at the conference.
Bishop H. B Parks will preach Sunday morning. People are expected here from the surrounding towns—in fact, all Kansas will be represented.
Bishop Parks spoke in words of praise of the work done by Dr. G. D. Horsley, formerly of Kansas City, but now in Great Falls, Mont. With a membership of 35 he has erected a church costing $10,000 and the indebtedness was only $2,100. "It pays to stick to your work and live close to Jesus," said the bishop. This is a miracle.
BIBLE CLASS.
The Neighborhood Bible Class met at Mrs. E. Jackson's and read Ephesi 3d and 4th chapters. Mrs. B. S. Jones is doing good work. She is a missionary and bringing new members. Another Mrs. Jones addressed the class recently. The loader has not missed one meeting in one year and three months. Mrs. L. Hall has missed only two meetings. They are arranging to annex a Junior Bible class.
Prof J. P. King delivered the Emancipation address at Oskaloosa Saturday to several thousand people, and it is said it was one of the greatest bit of oratory that has ever been listened to in the state, Professor also addressed the people at Atkinson and Topeka Sunday.
Rev. E. R. Johnson, who has just been transferred from the California conference to the Missouri, preached a strong sermon at the First A. M. D. church Sunday evening.
Mrs. Frazier of Leavenworth was the guest of Misses Stephens and Davits, 830 Nebraska Avenue, last Sunday.

ALONG THE LINE OF REASON.
Just behold that number.
Well, now then, what is it all about? Why such a 'Burst of Poetry?' It is simply what the school census shows: That there are 12,446 Negroes in Kansas City.
And to call attention to the fact that it is SOME number and worthy of consideration.
And to say further, that it would be no small matter to have such a number against you in any kind of matter, thing or undertaking.
And to add further that it would be a still greater thing to have such a number for and in favor of any matter or thing upon which it was agreed and united.
Then ladeed, it would mean something, both to the number and to all correcsed with it. If those who have been thus counted would say:
Just behold the number,
Just behold the number,
Just behold the number,
Who are united once.
Let's get busy and learn that old song and apply it to our affairs.
What do you say, men and brethren of "The Number?" It is easy to learn, no difficult "slides, runs, sharps or flats in it," but just plain old song of common sense and reason. Let's learn it and sing it and teach it and preach it, live by and die by it—and by it rise to a better station here and have a good chance to become a part of that Number, that great number of "The Washed," the one hundred and forty and four thousand and more, the Number that John saw—that no man could number—those who had washed their garments and made them CLEAN (not while but clean) and they themselves were in the same condition. Clean of heart, purpose and intent, and capable of treating and dealing with their fellow black men as such, instead of seeing in them all that is derogatory and degrading in life. Let's get to the work. What say you all?
Those who did not attend the program for Mrs. Ross' Uplift at M. & O. hall missed a good one. Miss S. Brown looked sweet in a pale blue satin and sang sweetly. Lucian Betts sang well and, of course, was enced. Mrs. Boone's saxophone solo was grand. Miss E. Ghant and sister, of course, played fine, and Rev. Williams of Kansas City, Mo., made a fine Christian talk and Judge I. F. Bardley talked better than the writer ever heard him. It was a most wonderful appeal for humanity. Mr. Truman made a fine master of ceremonies. The same program is asked for in Allen Chapel and other churches in Kansas City, Mo.
Rev. B. F. Watson of Philadelphia preached at the A. M. E. church Monday night and with him the following persons, and left for the Conference at Coffeyville, Kansas: Rev. J. C. Owens, Rev. Allen, Rev. Jones, Rev. Barksdale, Rev. A. Brown, Rev. P. Brown, Editor Kennedy, Rev. Dr. Horse of Great Falls, Mont., Merdames Ruth Collins, S. Glover, P. Woodford and other names we did not get.
We are told that the 50 clubs under Mr. C. Williams gave a "baby show" at the A. M. E. church Thursday night and had a large crowd and secured over $100 on the habbles and over $25 at the door. Mrs. Cecil Harris' baby received the first prize for having $21.85 worth of votes. Mrs. Stafford's baby was second with $21.65. These ladies did quite well. They had solicited about three weeks. Success to all the clubs, etc., of this church.

'CITIZENS' FORUM.
Promptly at 4 p.m. President Buster opened the Forum. Good quotations were given, by many and excellent current events were given by Prof. H. S. Williams, a new teacher of Summer high school. Mrs. Anna Frazer sang a apprana solo, "Be Still," in a very artistic manner. She showed so much of the high class musical culture that those who had not heard her wondered where this sung bird has been hiding. She was encored. The intended principal speaker was detained by a strike and Prof. G. N. Grisham, one of our oldest educators of Kansas City, Mo., was invited to make an address. Of course he was equal to the emergency. He chose as a subject, "What is the best form of government?" His trend seemer to be he doesn't like the kaiser, but likes the German culture in their noted colleges, and thinks the United States ought to get as much of their culture and inventions as possible. "The colored man who can take the ten million of his people and get the majority of them with him, will be the greatest man the world has produced. He made a wonderful parable of the nations' struggle for supremacy, by likening people unto the microbes in the human body, ready to take our bodies when life goes out. It was a physiological wonder. His address was so instructive it received prolonged applause. Mr. A. Saunders spoke on the address and Judge Bradley praised the great educator. Next Sunday a fine program will be rendered by Summer high school. It is arranged by the Junior executive board. Miss Exel Caution will make the principal address and classical music will be rendered. All are invited. President Buster highly commended Mrs. M. C. Mattows' writ-up in the Advocate of the Forum. The critic reported and adjourned to meet Sep. 30.
PUBLICITY COMMITTEE.
FIRST BAPTIST SUNDAY
The pastor, Rev. Bowen eloquently discussed the second chapter of Daniel for his morning text. Deep thought and study was manifested throughout the whole discourse, thus making the sermon one of sincere spiritual earnestness. The audience highly appreciated the pastor's efforts and expressed their enthusiasm in any manner their hearts directed The mission and night services were well attended and the collection for the day was good.
We appreciated the presence of the many visitors and, as ever, extend a cordial welcome to all strangers, be they saint or sinner.
Get the habit of going to church every Sunday, if not First Baptist, then some other.
The Sunday school pupils are getting out of their classes with much more speed and quietness since the method of turning out by a played match has been used.
Come to the spelling contest and good program for the Metropolitan church Friday, Oct. 12, in the Temple.
Mr. Percy Robinson and wife of We were glad indeed to see Mrs. Elizabeth Porter-Buckner at church last Sunday morning, as she had been quite ill.
We were gla dto see Mrs. Griffen at church last Sunday as she has been quite ill from a spell of indigestion.
Mrs. Henton, 2317 Hallock, is home again from Texas, where she was called to attend the funeral of her mother. The Advocate extends much sympathy to Mrs. Henton in her bereavement.
Mr. Chickim. 331 Walker, who was seriously hurt some time ago, is now up and able to be at work.
The Men's Home Guards have and nexed the Intercity band as their band and practice drilling two or three nights a week.
METROPOLITAN TEMPLE.
Dr. D. A. Holmes, pastor of this church, being somewhat indisposed with throat trouble, and his members having advised him to do as little talking as possible until his treatments are completed. So he arranged and had Rev. Dotson of Arkansas to preach for him at 11 a. m. His subject was, "God Revealed of Christ," Ephesa: 3:9. In part he said, "Philosophers wrote and poets sang about the mystery of God, but all was futile, only Jesus Christ could reveal God, who is an omnipotent, omnipresent and an unmutable God. Also he showed the different phases of the greatest of all prayers, the Lord's Prayer. "Twas an inspiring sermon showing "God is no respector of persons," and 'twas greatly enjoyed by the Christians in that large audiences. At night a still larger audience greeted this man, who impressed them as being a true servant of God. The choir sang the anthem, "Let Those Rejoice," and Mrs. Mabel Smith-Mintor sang the role part sweetly. About seven joined after these sermons. The pastor also had Mr. Cogswell and Mr. Wm. Price of W. U., to sing solos which were high of W. U., to sing solos which were enroute to Boston. This kind of program in connection with the church service was an innovation, and drew a large crowd. Next Sunday, if the pastor isn't able, some other good minister will fill his place. The B. Y. P. U. had a program and its principal features was a sacred soly by S. Betts, a piano soly by A. Alsbrock and four pipe organ selections by the lady organist of the Congregational church.
THEY SAY.
"The Kansas club of Metropolitan did not start to heat but to make other clubs work. They are working, too."
"Kansas new hopes to gain distinction as she has so few workers."
"Miss F. Garside of a New York paper (who our society editor knows) pald a glowing tribute to Mrs. Walker, the hair specialist of the colored race, in the Star, for her accumulation of wealth."
"A certain prominent woman of our race is a lover of black dresses, black people, horses and almost everything except black cats. She also like wavy hair best; and is almost afraid of real stringy, straight hair. Isn't that peculiar for a colored woman?" If you want your name in the paper often do some good intelligent work often, like the ministers, the president of the Forum and of other good clubs and classes.
Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Freeman of 416 State avenue gave a dinner Saturday evening in honor of Mr. Freeman's sister, Mrs. Anna L. Jones of Macon, Ga., Virginia and Dr. G. E. Horsey of Great Falls, Mont. Covers were laid for eight.
Rev. D. A. Holmes received a touching letter from Earl Gardner, one of our soldier boys, who is 10,000 miles from here, in the Philippines. Special prayers are offered by his church members for Earl, Carl Hughes, Mrs. Monroe's son and all other persons' sons and relatives who have sacrificed and joined the army.

I have been so busy and moving so rapidly that it is difficult for me to remember just where I left off. I remember once I was told to "Begin at the beginning," so remembering I last wrote from Mound Bayou, Miss. I shall "begin at the beginning of the trip which made it possible for me to be on "terra firm" in Mississippi Tennessee, Kentucky, Oblo and landed me at last in this place, Washington, Penn., usually called "Little Washington" to distinguish it from Washington, D. C., from which it is about five hundred miles distant and which is almost five hundred times as large. The Southern Negro Has Auto Insanity
It was a source of satisfaction and et couragement to note that the cotton crop is very large, that cotton is, selling for 30 cents per pound and cotton seed at $80.00 per ton, which means that Negroes in this cotton belt will have "dead oodles of money." The Negro cotton pickers have struck and are demanding $1.00 and $1.25 per hundred for picking cotton, contending that they have a right to share in the prosperity. But Southern dealers have planned to take nearly all of this money. To do this they have persuaded the Negroes to purchase thousands of expensive autos. These they buy without paying one cent down, and many of them will be "junked" before they are paid for. There has been a wonderful change in the attitude of the white man in this regard. At first he swore the Negro should not own a car. There were instances in which Negro cars were burned and broken up before they had a chance to uso them; in other cases white people paid freight on cars ordered by Negroes and shipped the cars back to the dealers, then they decreed that no Negro should pass a white man on the road, and if a whit man came up behind Negro, the Negro must stop and allow him to pass. "It is a long way" from this hostile attitude to the present one when white men follow Negroes and beg them to buy cars on credit! The Negro is auto crazy. A few examples:
1. At Mound Bayou or any other town near there, if you will sit at a window near the road you can count many auto owned and run by Negroes, and if you will observe on Saturday or Sunday you can count them at the rate of fifty an hour, every one teeming full.
2. Negro farmers and even cotton pickers and day laborers are going to the fields in cars when they have been accustomed to walk from three to five miles to work.
3. Negro wash women are taking their clothes home in cars, or, with their work clothes and aprons can they are carried to work in service.
4. At the churches during service hours, you will see a long line of Negro motor cars, and then even at country churches.
5. These cars are used for pleasure, for joy riding and for accommodation. In some places a man will take a friend five miles and back for fifty cents.
6. Lacking experience and allowing the cars to be driven by children of ten and twelve years of age, some of the cars are always in the shop.
7. The price of supplies is excessive, for in some of the communities they pay thirty-five cents for gasoline.
Many of them rejoice a t this show and are weak enough to consider it evidence of the Negro's prosperity, but it is simply evidence of his pride and vanity and his susceptibility, to the flattery and trickery of the white man who would persuade him to spend his money for that which will not last rather than buy land or other things of permanent value. One poor fellow near Shelby, Miss., bought a fine car for fifteen hundred dollars. On his way home with the car he met a friend whose gasoline supply had been exhausted. He agreed to accommodate his friend by sharing his gasoline. In order to see just how much he had he opened his tank and lighted a match! Of course everybody knows what happened—there was an explosion and his car burned right there on the roadside.
It will require too much space to
continue this, but it is sad to see the

Memphis on the "Big Muddy."
I spent a day in Memphis, saw a number of friends, learned that many thousands of Memphis Negroes have "gone North" and many others are yet to go. I learned something concerning the split in big St. Andrew A. M. E. church—that nearly three hundred of the members followed Dr. I. S. Lee out of the church, that among them are many of the very best financial members the church had, that many have not joined the Zion church and are willing to return if the Bishop will come and give them a hearing. That while Dr. Lee's methods are questionable, the principles for which he contended were right, that Dr. W. T. Vernon, the son of the West and pastor of Avery chapel, is accused of entering the conspiracy against Dr. Lee and his supporters; and I had the pleasure of saying to those who accused Bishop Lee of being unduly influenced by money furnished by Dr. Lee's opponents that the Devil never hatched a bigger lie, for Bishop B. F. Lee would kick aside a million dollars intended to influence him against his convictions of right. I take time to write this, because there are Memphians in Kansas City who are interested in this very matter. If the Bishop made a mistake it was an "error of the head and not of the heart." for the church has no more conscientious a character than Bishop Lee.
I shall not say much concerning the "Jim Crow," but I was "mighty glad" when we got to Louisville, Ky., and I could walk out of the "Jimmy" and ride the remainder of the distance in a reclining chair car. I tell you I reclined from there to Cincinnati; and I am afraid I snored like a fat man—a man as fat as Editor Kennedy.—in The Keystone State.
These notes are long enough so I shall reserve mention of conditions here. I have seen some clever things and some prejudice here. They have reiterate rooms for colored children in the grade schools, and the colored children are taught by colored children. A number of Negroes in barber shops, hairdressing and cloak establishments draw the line against their own race. There is little business among the thousand Negroes here. The churches are spiritually cold. Dr. R. M. Adams of Kansas City is up against a hard proposition at the A. M. E. church, but is winning out. But I must clear.
With best wishes to my friends and admirers.

ST. JAMES NO. 59
A. A. Gregs is the happy recipient of a magnificent gold Masonic emblem. It will have to be seen to be described. It was presented by St. James lodge No. 50 of the Prince Hal Grand Lodge of Kapras as an appropriate memento of its relation with the Prince Hal Grand Lodge.
G. A. Gregs has been for the last two years Junior Grand Warden and at the last meeting of the grand lodge was unanimously elected and elevated to Senior Grand Warden. He is happy because it represents the good will and brotherly love of both the subordinate and grand lodge.
The sentiment it represents cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, though these were necessary to give it being.
He values it far beyond the power of mere words to express the good will of the brethren.
It is an added inducement to walk, talk and act circumspactly with the brethren with whom he fully realizes that he shall be at home in any country and clime.
May He without whose knowledge not a sparrow falls each member of St. James No. 59 and craftmen everywhere, is his sincere and heartfelt with.

Insure Your Hair
And watch it grow, by using the great sanitary hair dressing

It first takes out dandruff and cures itching, tetter and ringworm. You can then see the hair take on a rich youthful appearance and begin to grow. It stops the hair from falling out, breaking off or splitting at the ends. It makes coarse, stubborn, kinky hair soft and long and easy to manage. Its perfume is charming and never falls to please. It's fine—everybody's using it. Large jars 50s (stamps or money order) or to give you an idea, will send you a TRIAL BOX for 10c.

Officers and Directors all reliable business people of Kansas City, Mo., and Wyandotte County, Kansas. Stock all Common and Nonassessable.
At The Play Houses
"Hit-the-Trail Holiday" at the Grand Starting with a matinee today at the Grand, Dubnskey Brothers Stock company will present George M. Cotan's clever comedy, "Hit-the-Trail Holiday," which had a long and successful Fun in New York.
There is a splendid satire and delicious humor in the making of Billy Holiday, an ex-bartender, into a temperance lecturer. Holiday has been engaged to open the bar in a recently completed Postery in a New England town. When he arrives the demeaning manner of his new boss and the tyrannical attitude he assumes towards everybody in general arouses the fire of the barkkeep, who quits his job, and boosts the cause of temperance.
Irene Daniel will play the part of Edith Hobken, and Marney Dubinsky will play the role of Billy Holiday. Charlie Cubine, Lorena Tolson, Sarah Louise Long, Gladys Bunch, Fred Butler, Lloyd Sabine and Barrow Le Page will be seen in roles best suited to them.
The first week of permanent stock at the Grand has proved successful and Maurice Dubinsky, manager, is related over the fact that the S. O. D. sign was used on several occasions. Bargain matinees will be given on Thursday and Saturday
The Orpheum This Week.
A stupendous production, "America First," will come to the Orpheum this week of September 30 as the headline attraction. This martial pageant although not created because of present national conditions is particularly timely, because of them "America First" is presented by a large company, and scenically it is one of the most elaborate productions as well as mammoth, ever produced in vaudeville. Three colossal sets are used for the offering. The first is the parade ground for the Unitew States Military Academy at West Foltat, N.Y., and members of the company appear as cadets. The second scene is of the foredeck of Uncle Sam's newest dreadnaught, the Pennsylvania, the players becoming officers and crew of the battleship. The Pennsylvania is the first United States battleship to be equipped with the three gun system. In the scene the forward turret with its three monster 14-inch guns is shown. These guns are 18 feet in length and during the action of the scene they are swung cut out the audience with men astride their barrels. The last scene in "America First" is all the Mexican border and shows a section of the Rio Grande recently occupied by American troops. Martin Van Bergen, a Kansas City singer of note, is the principal in the company.
Miss Norton and Paul Nicholson will present a dramatic cartoon by

Miss Norton, entitled "Elia's All Right." The story concerns a pair of newly weds who have nothing to live on but love. The husband is a five-week department store clerk and his wife earns not quite as much behind the counter.
Heiene Hamilton and Jack Barnes will be seen in a skit entitled "Just Fun." Ben Deeley and company, in which Eamet Briscoe is featured, will give a sketch, "The New Bell Boy." Bert Melrose is styled "Theternational clown," and in his performance he features the original Melrose fall. Ray W. Snow is a monologue who is known in vaudeville as "the man about town." El-Cleve and O'Connor are a pair of vaudeville entertainers with a bit of Scotch." The Travel Weekiy will show the French Boy Scouts on an excursion to the foothills of the Alps; shooting tepads on the Mekong river in Indo-China, and glimpses of Bultenzorg, a city in the mountainous district of Java.
"Lady Buccaneers" at the Century, Burlesque of the cyclonic kind will prevail at the Century theater all of next week and will be given by a company of 40 zestful entertainers throughout the country as the "Lady Buccaneers." This season the "Earls" have an entirely new outfit of scenery, costumes, songs, dances, and novel stage devices, all necessary to properly present "Spending a Million," which is the name of the musical force to be given. It deals with the difficulties one has to contend with when trying to shift the responsibility of wealth. Every situation, and there are dozens of them, are productive of unproarous laughter brought about without any great effort on the part of the principals.
Among those taking prominent parts may be mentioned Miss Flosse McCloud, Miss Madeline Rowe, Miss Ethel Owens, Mrs Pauline Peyton, Fred Hacket, Jules Black, Claude Kelly, William Harris and Otto Hahn. The chorus of 20 will be found up to the blen standard totofore set by the "Nuccaneers," their good looks and shapely limbs and sweet singing voices make them a valuable asset to a burlesque show.
In addition to its regular show, there will be seen during this engagement Mermaldaia, who is known as the diving Venus. Her act is not only daring and sensational but artistic. She is the champion long distance swimmer of the world, and holds the world's record for being and holds the world's record for being the only woman in America diving into 36 inches of water. Mermaldaia will be asisted by her three sisters, all of whom have won fame and fortune as divers and swimmers.
