KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE 520 MINNESOTA AVE.---ATTEND THE BIG SHOE SALE AT THE "BOOTERIE"---520 MINNESOTA AVE. KA TWELVE MONTHS $1.50 520 MINNESOTA JUDGE BRADLEY'S ANNUAL ADDRESS BEFORE LINCOLN CLUB This day we celebrate, and rightly so, the anniversary of the birth of a man whose acts and deeds and whose character 'tis not easy to forget. The Chicago News of a few days ago had to say: "Men at the cross-roads of the world's events are speaking their views of the history, now in the making, among them the following: "Leon Trotsky, in wild and bold strokes, says. 'The world today is such that the contradictory features between feudal aristocracy and modern industry are so vast that existing governments cannot function; and the nations at war do but represent natural law, striving after a new form of government and economy.' Lord Northcliffe, the most profound analyst says—There is a mysterious something which seems to be impelling and masses to the inexplicable and unknown. Charles M. Schwab, the U. S. Steel magnate, says, 'There is a new era at hand, and the men who labor with their hands, the men who do not possess property, will rule the affairs of the world.' "What then is this new thing which stands so closely behind the vell of the future? Let us call it HUMAN JUSTICE." Now, then, I care not whether you like either or neither of these men (the first and last) it still is true that such statements coming from such characters in their most serious moods of thinking; the one being the soul and center of a new social order: which is the very antithesis of that, of which the other is a most perfect representative, is enough to set capable minds in operation and to arouse the duller ones to the point where they think they are trying to THINK. So that it may be said, as did the Matchless Master, Tom Palue, "These are the times which try men's souls." And mark my words: It will take all there is of efficiency in us all, to stem them. There was a time when parents at the birth of a child viewed and noted the stars in ascendency, for the purpose of predicting what principles would likely rule it in the course of its life:—Twas called taking its horoscope: As to the world's events of today similar action would not be out of place. For the field which presents itself for operation is one unsurveyed; the roads are unknown and have not been traveled, and no parallel has gone before by which to gauge and measure. While 'its true that the factors in the operation and the terms of the equation are intergers, heretofore existent and known, yet their offices in the operation, and their relation to the human equation now before the world is practically unknown, so that it is easy to conclude that the question of human welfare which presents itself today is very deeply involved, far beyond the quadratic degree even. And its solution will be a new birth of the world, sensed by the two characters hereinbefore mentioned, at which new birth the exploited, wronged and oppressed classes of the world will step out on the vantage ground of Truth and Freedom, and along with and like others, view the stars of ascendency, take the horoscope. Strenuous indeed are these times, and such as would tax heavily that Magic Master of the "weird art," that Grand Old Man of the Woods, Ellijah, stalwart of stature, always rough and have enumerated (as hoped that the AWA instance, is: to a P the MEANING of when I say, we observers and terms in the HUMAN WELFARE the world today for so to conclude. "Tis we taken the time to have." Nor should because we cherish by so doing. And at this juncture PATRIOTIC BANQUE AT METROPOLITAN BAPTIST TEMPLE. Tuesday, March the 5th, 1918. GOV.

PROFESSOR R. G. JACKSON WILL RENDER A HIGH CLA SS MUSICALE. No Patriotic Person Should Miss Being Present --- --- ready for close communion with God, that mighty old man of rocks, mountains and caves, who in his "Wrapped Moods" waved his bony finger out over the horoscope and by prophecy dipped into the future to shape the destiny of worlds, could we but conjure back to the world of matter and measure the spirit of this great old man; I am inclined to think we would feel relief in his presence. And most assuredly they are such as to call for such sterling qualities as were found in that similar character of modern times, who, like Elijah, was lean, lank, and ungainly of appearance, and yet was extremely thoughtful and humane. Always ready for a drive for the right, and never ready for a compromise with wrong. Always rough shod to ride down formula and cant and take a stand for common sense and reason. Always observant of the estate of humble and jowly, and never subservient of the oppressing proud. Broad-gauged, big-hearted, honest and true, tall, stalwart and towering—over the mesh of wrong, sin, suffering and oppression in the midst of which he was cast, as a mountain pine towers over the surrounding underbrush; such a great soul was he who directed the destinies of this nation in the darkest hours and most critical moments of its existence, in memory of whose acts and deeds we are here tonight assembled, the man loved in all the world, and hated nowhere, the matchless and not to be forgotten Lincoln, I ween, that could he be recalled and given again the scepter, that his mastr mind even, would be taxed even heavier than it was in the famous "Lost Speech," wherein he said. "Fondly do we hope and fervently do we pray, that this awful scourge will soon pass away, but if it is ordained that it shall last until every drop of blood that has been illegally drawn with the lash shall be repaid by one drawn with the sword, so let it be, for the Judgments of GOD are true and RIGHTEOUS altogether." For, as we look over our events, to observe the breaking up and dissolution of stald institutions, when we see the Kingdom of Gold losing its Crown, when we see a most consumate devotee of this kingdom confessing the truth, as has Mr. Schwab, when we note the wave of unrest, uprise and dissatisfaction that has swept the globe, into one stupendous revolution, denoted in one place by a revolt against misrule in another by the uncrowning of the world's most despotic despot, in another by the coarse, hoarse and gutteral cry of gaunt hunger, want and squalor against extortion and exploitation and for better living conditions, and in another by the inauguration of a process which shows the movers ahere to be wholly without regard to the rights of others and completely lost to all moral and social duty; completely predatory in practice, carrying to their neighbors and to the rest of the world such a reign of terror, devastation and untimely death, as will shock the sense of civilization for a thousand years to come, and still another, and our own land even, by an awakening and sensing of the real danger to democracy among men, caused by all that we have enumerated (and withal, this hoped that the AWAKENING, in this instance, is: to a REAL SENSE of the MEANING of DEMOCRACY) when I say, we observe all these factors and terms in the equation of HUMAN WELFARE which is before the world today for solution, it is easy to conclude. "Tis well that we have taken the time to assemble as we have." Nor should we be criticised because we cherish a hope of profit by so doing. And at this juncture let me implor KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FEBRUARY 22, 1918 Listen and hear when you listen. The questions which here arise are all that may be shaped out of the situation, for in it,—all is involved. Some of the most important are. What shall we say? What shall we do? How shall we proceed? Who shall proceed? One might or will say: "Let us pray for guidance in the premises." To which I have no objection and stand uncovered three times a day in the presence of Him who thus proceeds. Thus do Ye—and I implore you to do it earnestly and HONESTLY, and not foolishly and falsely. In the meantime I suggest; Let us AWAKE—AWAKE—AWAKE, A-W-AKE to the full sense of the facts which surround us, rub the eyes of our souls, and do our utmost at THINKING and REASONING. Let's become sensible to the fact, that through all the course of the acts and deeds of men, there is One and ONLY one constant; and that it is, CAUSE AND EFFECT. That it is a try-square by which all may be measured and adjusted, and without which nothing is properly measured or placed. That a more appropriate name for its use in the affairs of men is. The try-square of reason and common sense. Which can be used at all times and places and under any and all circumstances. The ravages of time nor the seasons do not vary or change it, it is true at all times. Its use is productive of all that is desirable, and blighting to all which is undesirable. It may be used in heat and its absence, just the same, and the same is true of it as to light and darkness. It may be used with or without prayer, and never misses in either instance. Its use will banish from the world want, woe and war, and substitute for them plenty, happiness and peace. But of this I have said enough. There are others to come after me whose shoe latches I am not able to unlose." CITIZENS FORUM CITIZENS' FORUM. Quite a crowd attended the Forum at Metropolitan Temple February 17 to pay homage to our deceased statman, Frderick Douglass. President Buster presided. The quotations were in keeping with the occasion, and litlil Miss Mayday Gayden is so delighted with the Forum she will not permit anyone to out do her in the work. She gave the fac simile quotation written by Mr. Douglass himself, which he gave to her grandfather, the late Mr. Corvine Patterson, when he vlsited K. C. K. The current events were good. Mrs. D. W. Booker spoke for Mr. Greene of Kansas City, Mo., of Mr. Jamison, who writes poetry, and who is ill with tuberculosis in Florida. She assisted in selling some of his poems in a pamphlet. Miss B. Jackson, formerly of Sumner high and K. U., who teaches in Kansas City, Mo., read a paper on "The Women of Dougless Day." Many facts in it were good. Especially about the common sense of "Sojourner Truth." Because even if you attend all the finest colleges in the world and have no common sense for a foundation, you are no real good to any race. President H. Buster made the program still more appropriate by having Chaplain Robinson lead the audience in the first, second and last beautiful verses of America. Then he called on Judge I. F. Bradley, who witthe writer and a large audience met Mr. Fred Douglass at the old Dunning's opera house, Fourth and State, on one of his visits here. Judge Bradley gave beautiful reminiscences of this great man's life, which was one of the most fitting things on this program. Prof. J. P. King announced the program for February 24 as Dubols Day. It will be a fine one given by the N. A. A. C. P and Summer night school chorus under Prof. Reynolds, will furnish vocal music. All are invited. As no committees were ready to report, the Forum adjourned with benediction by the chap Lein. MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS, Pub. Com. Mrs. Minnie Smith of Tulsa, Okla, who attended the funeral of the latte George Banks, is visiting her cousin, Mrs. Richard Berry, 742 Oakland. BACHARACH STOPS "BIRTH OF A NATION" FILM PLAY THAT LIBELS RACE CANNOT BE SHOWN IN ATLANTIC CITY—MAYOR BACHARACH ARACH TREATENS TO CLOSE THREATENS TO CLOSE THEATER IF DECREE IS DISOBEYED. Special to Advocate. Atlantic City, Feb. 18.—Mayor Harry Bacharath has issued a decree forbidding the Colonial theater to show the film play, "Birth of a Nation." Elaborate plans had been made by the management to run the film for three days. The matter was brought to the attention of the mayor by public surriited colored citizens. He immediately sent the following message to the Colonial's manager: "It has been called to my attention that you are thinking of bringing "The Birth of a Nation" to Atlantic City on February 14th, 15th and 16th. I desire to notify you that you should cancel this picture once, as it will not be permitted to be shown in this city. If you attempt to do so, I shall be compelled to use the power vested in me as mayor of the city and close your theater. I do this, not alone as mayor of the city, but as vice president of the State Home Defense Committee." The matter was taken up by the Amusement Association, which assured the mayor that it did not wish to give any exhibition that might promote race hatred. Later on the manager called on the mayor and told him that although the theater would lose hundreds of dollars they-accepted his ruling and would not contest the case. PATRIOTIC BANQUET Governor Capper to Be Principal Speaker—High Class Musicale Will Be Rendered. The Metropolitan Baptist Temple will give a patriotic banquet at their church Tuesday evening, March 5th, at their church, at which time Governor Capper will deliver a patriotic address.

The Home Guards will be seen for the first time in their new and nifty uniforms. Prof. R. G. Jackson of Western University will manage the program, which cannot be anything but high class in every particular. The general admission to muscate and banquet will be only 35 cents. CHANUTE, KANSAS — TEACHER TRAINING WORK. Mrs. J. T. Smith, Supt. to the faithful pastors of the Kansas City District, Greeting. Brethren, the fight is on and and the church as well as this great government of ours is preparing soldiers to battle against the misconstruction of the great and wonderful plan of salvation. Through much teaching we must win a victory for God, and His Christ. How are we to do it? By training teachers that may know how and what to teach. And in order to do this we are asking every pastor to see to it that there is a teacher training class organized in his church. And at any time you should need my services in organizing I shall be glad to come to you or answer any question you wish to ask. Mrs. Brown of Springfield, Rev. D. A.

PYTHIANS BUY VALUABLE SITE Chicago, Ill., Feb.—Looking forward to the erection of a national Pythian building in this city at an early date, the Knights of Pythias purchased a valuable lot at 37th Place and State at cost of $25,000.

Green is giving the Pythians a business as well as a financial administration. It was under his administration that a valuable piece of property was purchased in Chicago some time ago. This has paid for itself and is now giving to the order a revenue. The earnings of the present property will help pay for the lots just purchased.

DUE 56 COLORED CONGRESSMEN The February Crisis says: The ration of congressional apportionment in the United States is one representative to every 211,877 inhabitants. American Negroes, under any just system of proportional representation, ought to have in the Sixty-fifth Congress at least fifty-six representatives to defend the country not only against alien enemies, but against the Bourbon South! We have not a single congressman, thanks to oligarchy and mob violence in the South and gerrymandering in the North. With the recent migration, however, careful and unselfish political leadership can soon send black men to Congress from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. With five representatives from such states we could then attack the rotten democracies in Border Sates like Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, and finally the Solid South. Here lies our line of march, camrades! To the Work. Pleasant Seekers Art club met with Mrs. P. O. Coleman, 1959 North Sixth street, Wednesday, the 13th. A dainty lunch was served of two courses.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. G. A. Gregg, Conference President: of Kansas Conference. Topic: The Power of the Cross In Asla. Psa. 96:1-12. Suggestive thoughts. The central person in the advancement of the cross in Asia was Paul. There were evils to be corrected. There were minds that were perverse and actions in keeping with the state of mind. When society is well fortified in the wrong, when men and women are bold in their actions not in harmony with right, it takes a strong Christian faith and a courageous heart and a tactful mind to overcome or even contribute toward better conditions. ditions. This Paul had in a remarkable degree: "This one thing I do," is characteristic of him. The bright vision never faded from his view. Let us as Christian men and women cultivate the original vivid Christian experience and keep it daily bright and clear. Then with power, with courage, with unfaltering determination we will carry out the good work. We will be helpful to those who do not now see as we see, but will thank us for our persistency. Be a Paul in Asia, in Africa, in the United States, in Kansas, in your own little community. There is great work to be done. Don't lose your Christian vision! CARD OF THANKS. We desire to thank the neighbors and friends for their kindness to our beloved wife, mother and sister during her illness and death and for their sympathy and beautiful floral designs given after her demise.

Sixth Street Phone Bell West 2904. Official Board, 2nd and 4th Monday, 7:30 P. M. Choir rehearsal, Tuesday 7:30 P. M. Wednesday, prayer meeting, 7:30 P. M. CHURCH NEWS. Old First A. M. E. church was packed from center to circumference Sunday to welcome the return of the pastor from his two weeks' vacation. While Dr. Griffin was very much indisposed Sunday morning physically, his sermon showed a double strength spiritually. The attendance of the Sunday school is growing each Sunday and greater interest seems to be emanating from the parents towards the salvation of their children. It's not only pleasing to those who come out to teach these children, but it shows a tendency on the part of the parents that they want their boys and girls to become real men and women. Rev. E. J. Patterson delivered the message at the evening service, which was of a high intellectual discourse of the Scriptures. If you are a believer in the Christian church and have faith in His matchless power, its your duty to attend His place of worship. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. A large congregation attended the morning/service and were repaid by a good sermon from the pastor. Many gave audible vent to the spirit and several joined. At 8 p. m. a larger congregation came to witness the ordinance of baptism. Pastor Holmes was at his very best and preached profoundly from Romans, 6th chapter, 4th verse: "Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death," etc. He said in part, "We never preach nor teach that baptism saves, but contend that a person must be regenerated first, then baptised. We have a right to question any who change the vinology. In his discourse he quoted Christ's great command, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." Said, "Spurely as our Lord did this way, we can follow in His footsteps. It was a powerful sermon. At its close he led the beautiful hymn, "Christ Is the One." The choir sang, "I Hear the Saviour Say," very pathetically. The illuminated glass Baptistry was used metaphorically for Jordan, and Dr. Porter Davis was led by Deacon Ford to Rev. Holmes, who had preceded into the water, and there he went into the water and was buried as Christ was by John over 4,000 years ago. "Twas a most beautiful spectacle. Sqme praised God aloud, others wept softly. Dr. Davis is first lieutenant in the medical reserve corps of the U. S. army and will probably leave soon. This acknowledgment of Christ will never be forgotten. This church, which usually has the largest ordinary collection of any in town, had another large collection. Come next Sunday. You are welcome at all times. MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS., PUB. Com. SUMNER HIGH NOTES. The American history classes this week have been studying the origin and development of democracy in America from 1776 to 1918. Many interesting faces have been brought out Among them several evidences why our country has not as yet attained the position of a true democracy. The Sumner night. school music class will furnish the music at the Forum Sunday, February 24.

The Kansas City army draft boards received a letter from Adjutant General C. A. Huffman yesterday instructing them not to give out lists of names of registrants for the military service for advertising circulars. The members of the local boards are pleased at this for a number of people have tried to obtain lists containing the names of the registrants here and they have caused some trouble at busy times in doing so. If one person is entitled to this list all are. In the future no lists will be allowed for anyone. The communication from Adjutant General Huffman contains a copy of a telegram from Provost Marshal General Crowder in Washington, which says: "The attention of this department has been called to the face that men who have been selected for service have been circularized with advertising matter more or less objectionable. The records of local and district boards are not to be used for such purposes, and the giving. of lists to any persons for adverising purposes will be absolutely prohibited." Mrs. A. Newman, 1926 North Sixth street, is ill. Eugene Baker, 2005 North Sixth street, is suffering with la gripe. But to sell our hammer and buy a horn, let us all state that we are all good little pals together including the gentleman who gives us a job of printing one morning, (yes, we do job work, too) and then calls around the next morning as the shop begins to open and expects to find it finished.
