Kansas City Advocate

F. JESSE PECK, D. D., ELECTED PRESIDENT OF WESTERN UNIVERSITY present. A SCHOOL THAT IS DOING GOOD WORK, BUT LET ITS STANDARD BE RAISED IN COMMENSURATE WITH THE NEEDS OF THE AGE. The twenty-second annual commencement of Western University closed its exercises Thursday afternoon with the graduation of thirty-two young men and women. Prof. G. H. Grisham, who was principal of Lincoln High school, Kansas City, Mo., for over 25 years, delivered the annual address to the class of 1918. It was a masterly address and if this class follows his logic of self-experience, success will be their finale. This class goes out with some of the brightest prospects for life's work, than any one preceding them. It was a fine looking set of young men and women and they go with encouragement from a host of friends and admirers. The thought and delivery of those who were selected to deliver orations fully met the expectations of their instructors and the large number present. Both boards, the state and church, agreed to place this great educational institution of the west on a still higher standard, and added to its curriculum other efficient instructors. From the present outlook for next year, there will have to be additional room to accommodate the great influx of students. All of the present corps of teachers were retained for the U. B. F, AND S. M. T. TAKES OUT $1,200 WORTH OF LBERTY BONDS. The U. B. F. and S. M. T.'s take out $1,200 worth of the Third Liberty Loan Bonds in this jurisdiction, of which Rev. George McNeal is Grand Master. This certainly speaks well for this organization and Grand Master McNeal is to be congratulated in having, or being at the head of such an organization. This probably is the largest mount taken out by any colored fraternity in the state. Dr. McNeal is the popular pastor of Pleasant Green Baptist church of this city and on Saturday, May the 4th, he celebrated his twenty-fifth year, as its sherherd and has brought it from 40 members in a small rented room, to 700 members, now worshipping in a splendid edifice costing $17,000, free from debt. It's a great record. Mr. M. L. Chessney. 2514 Sherman, was operated on Friday, May 10th, at a local hospital, and is recovering nicely from the operation. Her sister, from Shreveport, La., is at her bedside present. Bishop H. B. Parks presided over both the boards in his usual dignified and business like manner. The New President. Rev. F. Jessie Peck, D. D., of Topeka, was elected to succeed the late Dr. H. T. Kealing as president of this great western institution. Dr. Peck is well known to the west and its people, and some 30 years ago, when this school was in its infancy, and its nominal salary was only $80 per year, this same man served this school as its head, and his supporters believed it was justly due him at this time, to be recalled as its president. Dr. Peck is a refined and cultured scholar and has the work at heart, and his long acquaintance in this western country will make his work much easier to manage. He will have the full support of the state, of which he is a resident. We look for him a great success. He will take charge at once and will commence to make preparations for next year's work. The representation of the church, through its ministers and trustees, showed in a marked degree of greater interest than for many years, there being many present from a distance that seldom, ever were seen on the campus. This school has a great future before it for the young generation of the race, and the one great thing it needs at this time is more publicity. MORE THAN 10,000 RACE TROOPS IN FRANCE. Washington, April 15. There are today more than ten thousand Colored troops of the American Army in France. Among them are the 15th New York, Eighth Illinois and Three Hunred and Seventy-second regiments, the latter made up of the Ohio battalion, the District of Columbia battalion, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts separate companies. In addition it is estimated that there are as many Colored noncombatants, including Colored stevedores, with the American Army in France. In addition there are as many Colored men from this country fighting with Canadian regiments. There are, it is estimated, at least twenty-five thousand American Colored men "over there" helping to make the world safe for democracy. It is said the Forum had greater peace, greater colections and greater crowds, under President. Buster than ever before. ODD FELLOWS HAVE BIG DAY The Odd Fellows and the Household of Ruth of the two Kansas Cities, turned out in great numbers Sunday to their annual Thanksgiving services. It was held at the First A. M. E. church at 2:30 in the afternoon and was one of the largest seen on this occasion. There were four lodge from the Kansas side and five from the Missouri side, with two Grand Master Councils, No. 113, Kansas City, Mo., and No. 122, Kansas City, Kansas; Patriachie No. 66 of Kansas City, Mo., and No. 147 on the Kansas side. Household of Ruth with five lodges from the Missouri side and four from this side made one of the most beautiful as well as the largest demonstrations seen from these noble looking Ruths. The program was up to their usual high standard and all who were able to gain admission enjoyed it. The opening address was made by Attorney Dorsey Green and the seismon was preached by that well known fraternal preacher, Dr. D. A. Holmes, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Temple. Mr. B. J. Washington was master of ceremonies. The Odd Fellows' choir rendered the music, which only they can satisfy. At the conclusion of the ceremonies with two fine bands of music, the First Regiment K. of P. band of this city and the Inter-City band of the Kansa Metropolis, paraded Minnesota avenue, to their hall, 314 Nebraska avenue. It drew great crowds to the street along the line of march, which were many blocks in length. SUMNER HIGH NOTES. The close of our school year draws near and there are only a few sad faces. As a rule the Seniors should be about the saddest, because it is the time of breaking many strong companionships that have been formed during their four years in Old Sumner. But, however, you cannot find a Senior but who is not more than glad that his school days are nearing their end and he can leave the long-to-be-remembered halls of Old Sumner. The Sumner track team lost to the Western University team at the field meet last Friday. Lincoln grade school was the victor over the contesting grade schools. Mr. C. A. White of Denver, also head of the Colored Woodmen of America, addressed the student body Monday. His lecture was exceedingly interesting and profitable. The annual sermon to the Seniors will be delivered at the Eighth Street Methodist church Sunday, May 26, by the Rev. Griffin, the pastor of the church. The Junior play will be rendered at the high school at the corner of Ninth and Minnesota Tuesday evening, May 21. Get your tickets now. The class day exercises will be Tuesday, May 28. Owing to the fact that the cost of getting out a class annual is so great, arrangements have been made to get out a special summer edition of the Kansas City Advocate for the week of the 27th. This will be a great edition and you should get at least five copies to send to your different friends. The Senior class rendered a KANSAS WAR GOVERNOR This is the first real war ordain that Kansas has had to pass through since its admittance to the United States and it was exceedingly fortunate in having a governor whose brain and executive ability were fully capable to cope with every need drawn upon it, by our nation. It has not only met every demand the government has asked, but it has in every instance "gone over the top" and not American citizen in its domain has made the least murmur: The safety of any home lies within its occupants, the safety of a nation, those who reside in its borders. The great nucleus to the saving a home or country, is to have safe and sane men at the pilot and this is why Kansas has so nobly and willingly come to the support of every call of Kansas' great war governor, Arthur Capper. The people don't have to ask what he has done or who he is, but every finger tip in the state have had that sense of touch from his wise leadership. Governor Capper's experience and personal knowledge of present conditions of the nation's need makes him better qualified in helping at Washington in the United States Senate in real war service than any other man in the state of Kansas. And if there ever was a time the nation needed service and men of far sight and honest convictions, at the nation's capital, it is now. This is a time every loyal American citizen should examine within and without, when it comes to selecting material that is going into the upper house, at this most critical period of the war crisis. This is not the time to play policy. very good musical program at the assembly last Wednesday. This is the last regular assembly that the Seniors will have the opportunity to take part in. WALT THOMPSON'S SPICES Who remembers when you used to work sitting down and people thought you were lazy? It is strange that some people can go into a flower garden and see the various colors and come out and can see only one color. Some times we condemn a man if we would but wait a few minutes we would render a verdict in his favor. Peace has been secluded in the minds and hearing of man if we would but let him out we would have peace all around us. It makes no difference how many cloudy days we have we look for a brighter day. I wonder what has become of the fellow that used to borrow his neighbor's newspaper to see who was at the party last night. There has been times when we have locked our door against a stranger when at some future time we would be glad to entertain him. You cannot tell some people anything because they already know it. Man's work is never done: if he dies some one else will carry it on. FORUM SPECIAL TO LAWRENCE. The Forum Special car to Lawrence Sunday will leave Tenth and Minnesota at 1:40 p.m. Come and go with us. Mrs. A. Link on Tenth street is reported quite nice. ATTRACTIVE PAGEANT LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL GOES OVER THE TOP YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS THIS GREAT THINKER OF THE RACE KELLY MILLER WHO WROTE OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT WILSON GET TICKETS EARLY AT HOME DRUG STORE_____ LENA DOWNS One of the most interesting and instructive events of the season in educational circles took place in Convention Hall, Friday evening last, under the auspices of the Lincoln High School, on the Missouri side. Twelve thousand people witnessed the entertaniiing event. Those who prepared the instructive program received many well merited compliments for their skill, in organizing the very attractive features. Principal J. R. E. Lee surely deserves credit for his work. He is one of the best educators in the west and his ability is recognized the country over. The Board of Regents of the State Normal school at Jefferson City recently unanimously elected him to the presidency of that well known institution, but he promptly turned the attractive position down, believing that he can do more good here for a time. Prof. Lee has a very able educational staff, all of whom, are doing excellent work. Much of the entertaining features of the big pageant given Friday evening is due to this able body of assistant instructors in the high school. Miss Jeannette Mack, physical director, is surely a past master in her chosen line. Her drills were received with enthusiastic approval by the vast audience, which indicated its appreciation by generous applause of each drill. The girls and boys indicated that they are a precocious lot of students and won praise from their delighted friends. Miss Mack is certainly a drill master of the first class. All the exercises by her pupils were very meritorious and it is too difficult to indicate any specially attractive drills because they were all specially entertaining. Major N. Clark Smtih, musical director and military instructor, has brought this school up to a high standard in both his departments. The exhibition of his military trainning was most excellent and in these terrible times of war, exercises of this character are especially interesting just now. These boys will be prepared for duty when they shall have reached the required age and will be ready to defend their country's honor anywhere they may be called. Prof. Smith is doing a great service to the country in his wonderful work in this institution Mrs. Marr Hultz, 612 New Jersey avenue, has returned from a visit to Des Moines, Ia., with friends and relatives. While there she visited Camp Dodge and saw the soldiers in their camp life, drilling and Y. M. C. A. work. There is over seven hundred colored soldiers in this camp. in preparing the boys for military duty and not only that, but the training he gives his students is highly beneficial to them physically. They will walk more erect, their step will be more elastic and full of energy and their entire physical organism will be tuned for duties of life, in peace as well as in war. The musical department, under the direction of Prof. Smith is accomplishing much in training these young men and women in the cultivation of their voices, voices for richness and beauty of tone, by nature, is not surpassed by ay nother people on earth. When these voices are given proper culture, as they are by their able instructor, they are wonderful in the condition of the most classic productions. Among the very attractive features of this splendid entertainment were the floats, representing so many lines of human activity. The industrial floats indicating the various lines of industries taught at this school, came in for generous approval. Both boys and girl were fortunate in their happy rendition of the special features of these floats: brick-laying, carpentering and other useful lines were most pleasingly brought out in these floats. Domestic science came in for a liberally approving audience. In fact, it is absolutely impossible to select a single item on the program which might have been considered superior, for all were of the highest sort. The Board of Education and other distinguished citizens, including Judge Porterfield and others were present and were very pronounced in their approval and appreciation of the excellent program rendered by students of the Lincoln High, one of the best institutions of the kind in the west. ` Representatives from all the big cities of Kansas and Missouri were present to witness this pageant. People from Atchison, Lawrence, Topeka, Leavenworth, Wichita and, of course, Kansas City, Kansas, whose people are always ready to support all good things and are always to be found in anything and at any place in Greater Kansas City as well as elsewhere, when matters having for their object the uplift of the people are under consideration. WEDDING BELLS. Miss Ida May Jones and Mr. Jesse Thomas, who were married by Rev. D. A. Holmes, April 4th in the church parlors, had their wedding announced at last Sunday morning's service. Miss Jones was assistant matron at Douglass hospital. Mrs. McWilliams, the matron; was also married. m , - , “ -" ae " ’ ~ ' re ae Binds — ie ’ ; " : si = .

This is all well enough. This newspaper contends that in a government like ours, the peo- :ple are the sovereign, every Citi- Zeit, whatever may be the color of his skin, is a king and as such it behooves every patriotic voter to’study well-the interests of his country. We do not believe ihat par- tisan polities should Ve the rul- ing motive in the voter’s choice of those whom he desires to rule: We most emphatically contend that whatever party may be in power, it should be loyally sustained by the people of the natién. But we are not of those who believe that all the wisdom is centered in one party. ‘We do not believe that the suc- cessful termination! of this ti- tanic struggle between auto- eracy and democracy depends for a happy result on the admin- istration of only one American political party. We do not think that the country will lose unless the present administration is kept in control, nor do we be- lieve that the country will go to th eeverlasting bowwows if the peoplé see fit to call another party to manage the great war. “The electorate, in this coun- try, is at least directed by an intelligence that will make < wise choice in the selection of -our rulers.

Buster had the Forum opened with the National Hymn, and an invocation, by Mr. White. Quotations were given by Tiny R. Gayden, Orestes Meeks, Prof. Mowbray, Mesdames Curry and Meeks, Mrs. Maud Brooks, Misses E. Neely, French, Prof. Curry, Mr. S. Banks, and Mayday Gayden gave a war poem about Liberty Bonds. he president asked if it was original, but she answered "no." iolin solo, "Joan of Arc," by Master Ralph White, accompanied by Miss E. Neely, was very good and in perfect tune with the piano, and was encored. Current events led by Mr. H. Dwiggins, in which he praised the two factions of the great religious denomination of colored Baptists for having united into one great National Bap-Convention. Other good events were given by Roy Garvin, Prof. King, Rev. T. Napper, Messrs. Dickerson, White and others. The pipe organ solo, "Give Away Jordan," by Mr. A. Gatewood, was encored and he responded with a clasisc. As Mrs. Knapp, a Caucasian delegates to the National Welfare convention, was brought by Mrs. Dwiggins, the president let her introduce her. Mrs. Knapp said in part: "Her father gave his life for the colored race in the Civil war, gave the first school to our people in Illinois, also started a building association for us." Says, "We've had one emancipation, but we'll have a greater emancipation after this great World's war." Then she changed to a talk on Mothers; then praised Mr. Gatewood's organ olo, and spoke of the natural oratory of Mr. Nelson Crews; and invited our people to attend the Welfare convention at Convention Hall. She was given great applause and a vote of thanks. The collection was lifted by Mesrs. C. Jenkins and P. Gardner. A quartet, "Poor Little Lambs," was rendered by Prof. Reynolds, A. Gatewood, Pinkard and Anderson and was encored. All sang fine and the bass singer was very good. Mr. C. M. White, of Denver, was introduced, and spoke quite a while and was applauded by some of the auditors. Miss Lixie Brooks of South Carolina (of our race), a delegate with Mrs. Knapp, to the Welfare convention, was introduced and said few words in a refined cultured manner, and received an ovation. By motion the Forum went on record protesting to the Secretary of War against General Ballou's order to our soldiers about attending operas at Camp Funston. Arrangements were made for those who wish to go to Lawrence Sunday, May 19th, to attend and render a program for that Forum. This was the last meeting in Kansas City, Kansas, for the season; and a program as a grand final will be given in Lawrence. We will take a vacation until September, and therefore after the benediction, President Buster adjourned "sine die." Miss S. Brown, secretary of the Forum, has been quite faithful, but Mrs. M. C. Matthews, the publicity committee, has not missed a meeting this year. Prof. G. B. Buster certainly has made a good president. He is now in the second year of his peaceful regime. Prof. Curry has been a faithful critic; also Mrs. Hattie Berry a trustworthy treasurer. Rev. Robinson, Prof. King, H. Mobily have made good officers. Mrs. A. R. Merritt is a faithful vice-president. Mesdames Dwiggins a n d Meeks and Mrs. White worked well on the executive committee. Mrs. Alice Browne, received from her son, First Lieutenant Howard Browne, who is now "somewhere in France," doing well and being treated on a par with every nationality, no difference being shown. Rev. Bowren, the pastor, preached a very instructive sermon from Rom. XIII, the awakening, the dressing up, the manner of walking, and the provisions. The awakening, of course, is the transformation from sin to righteousness; the dressing up is the leaving off the old habits and wearing the clean garments of religion, the manner of walking is being an open straightforward Christian and the provisions means whether one is providing merely for the flesh by rioting in worldly pleasures, or for the soul by trying to live the life of the Master. The final rally of the season will take place at the church Sunday. Beginning Sunday morning with 6 o'clock prayer meeting, and lasting all day. The 3 o'clock service will be one of the best, as the Intercity Ministerial Alliance will officiate. Be sure to come. The State Guard banquet, which was given Tuesday night, was a wonderful success financially, and as to the audience. Prof. J. P. King made a very appealing address upon loyalty. With his thrilling words of patriotism, he inspired his audience. Then came a short talk by our well known Considine Jenkins, who then presented a flag to the State Guards and another to the Boy Scouts. These flags were given to the Guards and Scouts by the members of First Baptist, and Major Holmes acknowledged their appreciation in a few words just to the point. Hugh Brown made an interesting little speech of gratitude in behalf of the Scouts. Master Harold Tucker sang a very good baritone solo. Mrs. Frazier and her daughter, Mrs. Brown, sang two very taking duets, accompanied by Mrs. Steward another daughter of Mrs. Frazier's. On the whole, the evening was pleasantly spent. The program was closed by remarks from the pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowren. Prof. G. H. Reynolds had charge of the program. The banquet was a wonderful success, and Mrs. Ewing was cateress. BIBLE CLASS. The Neighborhood Bible class which has met the longest of any Bible class without vacation and has not missed a meeting for over two years, met with Mrs. Coates. Mrs. Presley Younger is working hard in it. The lesson was discussed by her, Mrs. B. Carroll, Mrs. Long, Mesdames Gardner, Matthews and others. Next meeting is with Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Long, 719 Everett avenue. All are invited. Wednesday, May 22; at 7:30 p. m. Lesson Hebrews XII. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. The weather was slightly inclement, but a large congregation gathered at 11 a. On account of the war it was requested that the people should wear Red Cross buttons, and save the expense of flowers on Mothers' Day. The publicity committee being up in all current orders, had decorated her announcement of Mothers' Day on the board with Red Crosses. Pastor Holmes preached a fervent sermon on God's Love and Mother's Love; it caused much weeping and rejoicing in many souls. As the revival is going on, many joined the church. At night a larger crowd than usually attended; and again some joined the church. The ordinary collection was large. On Monday night Rev. Daniels preached and two acknowledged Christ. Attend the revival. Next Sunday, May 19th, some candidates will be baptized in the pool. All are welcome to this, God's Temple, sinners especially. Notes on Forum THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE N.A.A.C.P.

If dreams came true, beloved, I should wake To find you at my side as once of yore, And I should see your beauty and should take Your hand in mine and whisper low once more Love's tender secrets, old yet ever new, And sweeter than the sunshine or the blue Of summer skies—If but my dreams came true. L. C. SCOTT. In memory of our dear mother and grandmother, Amanda Scott, who departed this life a year ago, May 7, 1917. Mother! We have all known her. Not all of us in the same person, but the same glory frames each separate face in the aureole of its own Divinity. And whether it be my mother or yours now crossing into the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns. We bow our heads in reverent slence, while the passing cottage bears the sacred dust to its present rest and our hearts swell with sympathy and a new sense of fellowship for all who have followed a like procession and suffered a like sorrow.—Walter Scott, Etta Scott McCurry, Master Paul Scott McCurry. It is said more Advocates with the late Mr. Booker's funeral ceremonies therein, were sold than ever. They were sent to San Francisco, New York, Denver and many cities of the U. S. A., and many yet wish copies of that date. BOULDIN CLEANERS "That Clean" ```markdown ``` SANITARY FIRST.
