--- KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. DEDICATION AND CHRISTENING OF THE RACE'S GREATEST COMMERCIAL BUILDING St. Louis, Mo.—The whole race is congratulating Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone on the new home of the Poro College, the greatest, largest and most complete commercial building in the country owned by the race. It was erected at a cost of $250,000 and will go down in history as one of the great achievements of the American Negro. A whole week was used in the opening and dedicatory exercises which some of the most noted men and women of the race from all parts of the country took part. Each night was an interesting program. Among some of the prominent men who were present were Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, D. D., Baltimore, Md.; John H. Murphy, editor AfroAmerican, Baltimore, Md.; George L. Knox, editor of the Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind.; Lester A. Walton, managing editor of the New York Age, New York City; Ormond A. Forte, editor Cleveland Advocate, Cleveland, Ohio; George R. Garner, Jr., tenor sololist, Chicago, Ill.; J. Findlay Wilson, editor Washington Eagle, Washington, D. C.; Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, Chicago, Ill.; Nelson C. Crews, editor of the Kansas City Sun, Kansas City Mo.; J. Anthony Josey, editor of Wisconsin Weekly Blade, Madison, Wis.; I. Willis Cole, editor Louisville Leader, Louisville, Ky.; W. E. King, editor Dallas Express, Dallas, Texas; Harry C. Smith, editor Cleveland Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio; John L. Thompson, editor Bystander, Des Moines, Ia.; Cary B. Lewis, managing editor of the Chicago Defender; Mrs. R. S. Abbott, Chicago; Mrs. Cary B. Lewis, Chicago; Charles Stewart, U. S. A.; Roland B. Hayes, Boston, Mass.; J. L. Gaston, St. Louis Clarion; Mrs. C. A. Williams, Atlanta, Ga.; William H. Stewart, editor of the American Baptist, Lousville, Ky.; Geo. H. Harris, editor New York News; R. A. Byrd, Springfield, and many others. The auditorium was opened Sunday morning, Nov. 24, with praise conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Malone. Mr. Malone made the opening prayer and the scripture lesson was read by Mrs. Malone. The lesson read was in keeping with the occasion. It was fitting that the first meeting in the building should be praise service. Only the employes were present, with a few personal friends of the head of the institution. The employes had prayers and short talks, quotations from the scripture. Monday at 11 o'clock the building was inspected by the members of the local Negro Business League. Then followed the opening the building to the public at 6 o'clock p. m. Many were the visitors shown through the building by the ushers. The first public meeting was held Monday night in the auditorium by fully five hundred people. They were present from all parts of the country. Roland Hayes of Boston, the noted tenor, was th esoloist. Prof. Frank L. Williams, principal of the Sumner High school, presided. Prof. Williams said that in the achievement of Mr. and Mrs. Malone was revealed the wonderfulness of man, who was made in the image of God. He felt that the whole race should feel proud of them. Congressman Newton was introduced and spoke in terms of praise of the work of the building. He was proud to see the great institution. "Great things have been done by our boys overseas," he said, and soon they will be coming home as American citizens. In the future an American citizen will be tested by his worth and achievements and not by his physical size nor by his color. We are American citizens, all of us striving for some purposes living under the same flag. "What wonderful example to us in this splendid achievement. Behold this little orphan girl, who has worked her way to the top. Behold her wonderful achievement. She took advantage of the opportunity and did not sit down. Through her zeal, push, training and Christian life, she stands with her husband today a living example of what opportunity will do if properly used by a trained mind." Dr. W. Simpson Brooks of Baltimore, Md., who was the principal AND CHRIST- THE RACE'S COMMER- BUILDING speaker, told of the union of the two great minds, and of his first visit to their place and how he was impressed with the fact that they opened their business with prayer. "A people who pray and trust God will succeed," he said, "and therefore we are all proud of Mr. and Mrs. Malone. "There are three kinds of people in this world, producers, distributors and consumers. The Negro must be among the producers. He must put brain into his product. Brain power rules the world, and if the Negro would be among the rulers, he must put brains, into his work. Brain power will make the world bow at your feet. The world never asks in- Some of the Guests ercises of one of th 1—Aaron E. Malone, 2—Mrs. Anita Mme. Anita Patti Brown, 7—George S. A.

Mrs. Malone was given an ovation when presented to the large audience. She made a short talk in which she said that if she were booked for an address her subject would be "Giving." It was a great thing to live and she impressed the value of little gifts and told how she was encouraged, inspired by the gift of a kind word during her early life and she was ever ready to respond to any cause which needed her, and if she only had the means she would give to every appeal made to her. where now stands the magnificent structure was called Mudville when it was considered "way out," but now it was a beautiful section of St. Louis and great things would yet be accomplished right in the section where stands Poro College.

E. Malone. "Reap what you sow." We should give out that which comes unto us and we will receive the blessings of God. In the audience Monday night were some of the leading men and women of St. Louis. The best people of both races vied with each other to show their appreciation, their esteem, their respect for the woman, for the man who were not grumblers, but doers. Thus the first day went down in history as a new era in the life of the Negro race. She had done what she could. Tuesday. The second day of the opening was full. This wonderful building was thrown open to the public at 10 o'clock and long before that hour there were many people on the streets waiting. No attempt was made to make money.

The invitation went to all alike, "Come and see, come and hear." The first song at the opening of the building was composed by a member of the race, Hermez Zimmerman of Hadley, Ill., "America, First and Forever," and was sung by the Poro Choral Club of 125 voices, the employes of the institution. Rev. R. H. Cole, principal of the public schools of St. Louis, presided. Each program was arranged by Prof. Jones, secretary of the St. Louis Y. M. C. A. "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground," was the opening chorus and the prayer was made by Dr. Cole. George R. Garner of Chicago, tenor soloist and director of the Polyphonic Choral Club, with his voice won the large audience. He was enced time and time again. He made a hit. Prof. Cole spoke of the complainers, of the grumblers, those who had said that it was too much money to put into a building so far out; but he said that the promoters had a vision. They were building for the future. He could recall when the section s that Were Present the Race's Largest Annie Turnbo-Pope Malone, 3—Rev. W. e R. Garner, Jr., 8—Dr. Mary Fitzbutl son, 13—Prof. F.

"Poro will bring the people out there," he said. "The early life of Aaron and Annie Malone," was discussed by Mrs. H. W. Jameson of Peoria, Ill., who had known both from youth. It w.s A Group of Newspaper of the New $250,000 ADVOCATE indeed an interesting feature. She told of the school days of Aaron, his finishing the grammar school, high school normal and then accepting a small school in southern Illinois, then principal of a large school in Quincy. On account of ill health he left the school room, became a book agent and later married the model woman of the Negro race. The life of Mrs. Malone as told by Mrs. Jameson, was an inspiration to the girls of the race. She described her humble home and school days with her short hair, how she portrayed the elements of a great woman. She stuck to her school studies, feeling her mind and today she is the benefactor of the whole race. Charles Stewart of Chicago was the next speaker. "He who fails to find himself, who he is, what he is and his place in God's universe, is a failure throughout life," he said, "and we have before us these two characters, Mr. and Mrs. Malone, because they took the time in the school room to locate themselves. Man must find himself through his mind. Physical size or strength is not manhood, but man is mind. God breathed into his and Participated in and Greatest Comm 10 2 14 13 Y.

From December 10 to December 14, inclusive, has been designated by Governor Capper as Jewish Relief Days. By proclamation, the Governor calls attention to the suffering of these people for want of food. He states that nearly one-half of the race is now in great want. These worthy people have contributed their means, most liberally, towards the material relief of the distressed and have proven their patriotism most pronounced, towards fighting the battles of humanity, for freedom and for all for which the peoples of the earth have been contending. The race has always been found on the side of human rights and have given their life's blood that liberty might triumph. Notwithstanding their devotion to the cause of liberty, no nationality has suffered more than has these people. They have been persecuted beyond measure, their property taken from them and their lives have been given on the altar of martyrdom, the wide world over. They have contributed to the world's material advancement wherever these thrifty people have cast their lot. I tis entirely proper, therefore, that all who love fairness and who sympathize with the worthy in need, should liberally contribute to the starving millions of Jews. In the midst of our great plenty, our happy abundance, let us remember substantially the needs of these people, who have so generously contributed to the relief others. PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. The President's message, delivered to both houses of congress Monday, like all of Mr. Wilson's productions, is a model of literary taste. He is one of the most fluent writers of English of the times. As to the production itself, from the view of a public document, it is more or less disappointing. The suggestions, relative to government ownership of railways, heartily indorsed by most thoughtful people. He very wisely urges congress to consider the great subject with much care and to formulate a plan whereby the great railway systems of the country may the better serve the public and also produce a satisfactory return to the investors. He frankly states that he has no tarrived at a definite plan by which the best results may be obtained. The President's just commendation of the American troops, in the struggle for the democracy of the world, is most heartily indorsed by every true American. It was a deserved compliment and one justly due those who have made the patriotic sacrifices, on the foreign battle fields. His unreserved indorsement of woman suffrage is also just and meets with the approval of all fair-minded people. But touching the subject, about every one was axious to hear the Don't tritle with a cold it's dangerous. You can't afford to risk Influenza.

President's views, the peace conference, his utterances were disappointing to a majority of his fellow citizens. However, there is a divided opinion on the subject, relative to the advisability of the chief executive's going over to attend the conference, as a self-appointed delegate. Representative Mann, Republican leader of the minority of the House, does not criticize the President for his course, while Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, and chairman of the military affairs committee, very severely disapproves of the President's course. Many of both parties approve and many condemn this course on the part of the President. Some fear that he is making a great mistake not to have left the adjustment of this important matter to able statesmen, who are amply qualified to represent the country, on this important matter. Many have an idea that the President is too urgent about the adoption of his fourteen points, which have never been approved by the American people in any way, either by congress or in any other manner. Those who oppose his position think that he may be inclined to act too much the part of an arbitrator between our allies and our enemies. However, the senate is a part of the treaty-making power and it requires two-thirds majority to approve a treaty and there may be some trouble in getting a treaty ratified by that body in case it does not appear to meet with the indorsement of the American people. The thought is uppermost that we should stand by our allies, who have borne the greatest part of the burden in the contest for democracy. It is unfortunate that the President confined himself to partisan thought in making up the delegation to the conference. So far as possible it should have been a bipartisan body and by all means the senate should have been represented, as it bears part of the responsibility of treatymaking. Had he designated Mr. Lansing, Secretary of State, Democrat, and Mr. Root, ex-secretary of state, Republican, and Senator Lodge, Republican, and Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the military affairs committee, Democrat, and, if thought best, the President, the other member of the delegation, such a body would have met with a more generous approval. But, the responsibility lies with Mr. Wilson, and we hope for the best. Mrs. Mattie Drake left for California Monday night. Twentieth Anniversary of the Citizens' Forum SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8-4 P.M.

FIRST BAPTIST The Thanksgiving service of First Baptist was one of earnest devotional thanks, though not as well attended as the Sunday morning services. This has been a year of many and varied vicissitudes, yet with bright eyes and full hearts, those worshippers returned God hearty thanks for the lessons etaoinhrdluetaoi way blessings he has bestowed upon them, notwithstanding that some had met with reverses and disappointments. Rev. W. A. Bowren preached a beautiful sermon from 1 Chronicles 29th chapter, 12th verse, "Both Riches and Honor Come of Thee and Thou Reignest Over All, and in time Thou reigneth over all and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and give strength unto all." "hour- 123456 123456 123456 ..... After this Prof. T. H. Reynolds sang a very beautiful, touching solo, "How Lovely Are Thy Dwelings," which was indeed most fitting, after such a sermon. It was sung with that feeling and sweetness which are known characteristics of Prof. Reynolds singing. His song alone was worth the sowing out. The small audience gave a thanksgiving offering of $14.00. Then at night was a big musical program by Mrs. Anna Frazier and daughters, Mrs. Louise Stewart and Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Stewart's choir sang also. All of it was great and many tickets were sold for the event. One member, Mr. Edwards, sold thirty alone. Announcement.

That is contradicting God's word. It was a clear, concise practical sermon. At the evening ser-trinity and Godhead, showing the Seven Spirits." He explained the vice he preached from Rev. 1:4.

Stafford, who have been residents of this city for a number of years, and among the most prominent and respected families in the city, left Thursday morning over the Santa Fe for Los Angeles, California, where they will make their future home. Mr. Stafford has been a government employee, holding a most responsible position, for years, and being a good business man, has accumulated considerable property in this city besides other paying investments of which he disposed of before he left and is now able to retire from active service the balance of his life, still having a comfortable income.

E. church at the corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, Mrs. Stafford being identified with every church enterprise and social benefit for her community, she being the most of her time president of some church auxiliary. While the community and church wil greatly feel the los of this ideal family, they wish for them a safe journey and many more happy and serviceable years among those who are fortunate to have their association. The citizens of Los Angeles can feel exceedinly proud in such a family coming in their midst. ROSEDALE. KANSAS. The parent-teacher meeting Friday night at the Attucks school was a decided success. Prof. Shelton French, in his usual characteristic way, spoke very touchingly on the vital problems confronting the schools today. A very appreciative audience assembled to hear him. His logical and sound advice made a very deep impression. Prof. Theodore Copeland, the scholarly musician from Lawrence, gave several musical selections. Miss Alice Rogers, graduate of the Emporia Normal, serving her first year at Attucks, read a very splendid paper on "The Relation Between Parent and Teacher." Miss. Parker sang a very beautiful scio. Rev. Williams, pastor of the Baptist church, as well as Rev. Gill'spie, pastor of the A. M. E, churen, gave touching and timely remarks. It is the avowed purpose of those in authority to make Attucks school a place where the very best in every line may be heard and seen. A PROCLAMATION. State of Kansas, Governor's office. Now that the armistice has been signed and the battle forces in the great war are taking the lines designated in the armistice terms, the curtain is being raised and the world more and more is learning the true condition in the countries which have been overrun by Germany and her allies. The extent to which death, starvation and the ruthless destruction of property have stalked abroad in those stricken countries is daily becoming more painfully apparent. Among all the millions who have suffered at the hands of the oppressor or none have been more sorely tried than the Jews. They have been driven to starvatoin, have been denied sufficient clothing and have been ground between the upper and nether mill-stone by, friend and foe alike. The Jew has contributed in a most substantial way to the prosperity and advancement of all the nations of the earth, and no race has been more patriotic, more liberty-loving. He has fought under the flag of every nation in the name of liberty and justice for mankind. In the present war thousands of Jews have given their lives in the cause for which we fought and those who remaine at home have responded with fine patriotism and devotion to every call. Yet today nearly one-half of the race lacks food and shelter, without fault of its own. It seems to me most fitting that as Americans and Kansans we should hear the call from these stricken people and contribute of our means to a fund which will be devoted to their succor. Knowing the warm appreciation of justice which abides in the hearts of our people and the fine generosity with which they respond to every call from their less fortunate fellows, I, Arthur Capper, Governor of the State of Kansas, therefore, designate the period beginning December 10 and ending December 14 as Jewish Relief Days in this state. I call upon the people of all our cities, towns and rural communities to organize their forces and get behind this campaign with true Kansas spirit. No state has been more blessed with abundant crops than ours, and I am sure our people will be glad ot give of their bountiful store for the relief of the Jews in the war ravaged countries, who are without food, without homes and even without opportunity in their present condition. I urge the newspapers of the state to give widest possible publicity to the campaign and appeal to the mayors and municipal officials to lend their whole-hearted support in making the undertaking a success. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the State. Done at Topeka, the capital, this 20th day of November, A.

Simmons, the speaker, was given an ovation when introduced. He delivered an address. For being late he said it was due to the fact that he had to stop to look at the building and he was proud that he did, because it was Negro from top to bottom. He said that the building represented brains and money combined, both in possession of the Malones. "To build up a great race, a great institution, you must have the combination of brains and money. This is a great accomplishment for the race. This is a great hall for us, because these are reconstruction times. Some one said that it was too far out. It makes no difference how far out it is the people are going to find it." Mme, Anita Pati Brown followed with another selection. Thanksgiving. There are many interesting features connected with the day at Poro. It opened with Thanksgiving services in the auditorium, presided over by Mrs. Malone—in fact this is the service that she had charge of and in which she seemingly entered with her whole soul and heart. She had many things for which she was thankful, among them being the opportunity to serve. She liked to serve and to her it was a source of pleasure all the time. She read the scripture lesson in keeping with the occasion. Each employee and Poro agent had something to say and it was a treat to hear the stories told my the women who were the agents of Poro. Several who had been teaching school resigned to take up Poro because they could serve. Gary B. Lewis, managing editor of the Chicago Defender, spoke. To him no meeting meant so much. It carried him back to the training received from his mother an dfather back in Kentucky, that religious trainning and while others were asleep or out enjoying themselves he found pelasure in being in the most important meeting. Editor George L. Knox, also made a telling speech on "Thanksgiving, Its Origin and What it Meant to the American People." It was a practical address. Newspaper Men Meet. The newspaper men attending the opening had a meeting in the afternoon, which was followed by a smoker and a visit to the various newspapers of the city under the escort of the local newspaper editors. In the meeting editor Mitchell of the Argus presided. Editor Abbott of the Chicago Defender delivered an address on Newspaper Making. The meeting also was addressed by Prof. Aaron E. Malone, who said that he was indeed glad to have the members of the press present. It was not his desire to have them use a story that he might prepare for them, but he wanted them to come and see and if they found anything worthy of telling their readers to do it from their viewpoint and not from his. He had a desire to serve his people and stood ready to do anything in his power to that end. "I invited you because I wanted you to be here. This invitation nis not selfish." Special Thanksgiving dinner was served to all the visitors. The largest crowd filled the auditorium and corridors Thursday evening. It was necessary to have an overflow meeting in the dining room. Prof. David Gordon, principal of one of the St. Louis schools, presided. Rev. M. Searcy made the opening prayer and was followed by a selection by the Sumner High School Choral Club. Mrs. Florence Cole-Talbert entertained the audience. Her voice has in it a fortune. She is the winner of a diamond medal from the Chicago musical college and the audience voted her another diamond medal. She sang, "Lo, the Gentle Lark," and "The Arie Je Suis Titania," from Mignon. It was the crowning point of the evening. The speaker of the evening was Hon. Nelson C. Crews of Kansas City, Mo. It was a great speech and long since the country has acknowledged Mr. Crews as one of the greatest orators of the race. He maintained the reputation. He paid a high tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Malone for their contribution to the race. "I was told to bring with me a white flag when I left home," said Mr. Crews, "White flag means surrender and I did not feel that I needed it, because Kansas City leads them all, but since I have been here and seen this magnificent structure, I am willing to surrender to Mr. and Mrs. Malone. This is a great building and we rejoice with you because of it. St. Louis leads the world. Mr. Crews grew eloquent as he pictured the achievements of the race, the work of the boys overseas, those who had given their lives to make the world free for democracy. His picture of the heroes fighting on foreign fields for the world-wide democracy was dramatic. He paid his respects to those who would keep the race back and declared that the building in which he stood said to the enemy and friends alike that the Negro will not down. "We have helped with the blood of some of our best young men, and now we want democracy to be made safe for the world. "The blood of your mothers and fathers will cry out against you, if you do not help that young man who dares to help to defend our people. I refer to the théro, Dr. Bundy." This was greeted with an outburst of applause and cheering. Captain Robt. A. Byrd of, Springfield, was the next speaker. He, like others, had many good things to say about the work of Mr. and Mrs. Malone and declared that the race could not say too much for them. Dr. J. T. Gaston, representing the Negro Business League of St. Louis, spoke. The members of the League were present in a body. Editor Abbott, of the Chicago Defender, made an address. He was proud of the work of the Malones and said that the only way for the American Negro to climb was by doing things and not sitting around complaining. He said that the Chicago Defender was going to spend money to send a representative to the peace conference in France in order that the readers may be posted. "We are not the fools that most people would try to make you believe that we are." Editor W.E. King of the Dallas Express read the following resolutions from the newspaper men: "Whereas, the representatives of the newspapers here assembled recognize th splendid success of the Poro College Company, Mr. Aaron E. Malone, president; Mrs. Aaron E. Malone, secretary-treasurer, as examples in the beautiful building here erected, and "Whereas, through their far-sightedness and intelligent value of the power of the press, they have extended to us a warm welcome to be present at this auspicious opening, of which invitation we have availed the opportunity to attend, therefore be it "Resolved; That we extend a vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Malone for the courtesies extended us while here and wish for them the greatest measure of success in their splendid undertaking." Signed: John H. Murphy, chairman; W. E. King, secretary; Harry C. Smith, J. Anthony Josey, J. L. Thompson. Overflow Meeting Two hundred people attended the overflow meeting in the dining room. Hon. Nelson C. Crews, after finishing his speech in the auditorium, addressed the overflow meeting. Hon Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette and who served three terms in the Ohio legislature, was the principal speaker. He said: "The presence of so many editors of the newspapers is a distinct compliment to Prof. and Mrs. Malone in honor of the greatest race business enterprise to date." He referred to the fifty-six colored teachers in the mixed schools of the city of Cleveland as possibly the most encouraging thing of a racial nature for that city and state and referred to the enaction of Ohio civil rights' law, anti-lynching law and the barring of the infamous photo play, "The Birth of a Nation," from the state three years ago, and two months ago as the most distinctive racial success of recent years in the state of Ohio. Representing the Poro employees, Mrs. Mittie Foulks Johnson presented Mrs. Malone with a basket of flowers using the following verses: From every section you have come Joyful tidings to us bring We receive you with glad hearts, And praises for you sing. The employés of Poro College, Wish to mingle their voices today. Along with all these members great All hail, all hail, this happy day. No greater gift from mortal hand To us o'er been given Than this gigantic structure With its marble, wood and brass given. This opening week will ever mark An epoch in our lives, Long live the great Malones To aid mankind as he aspires. To greater things and higher plane Than ever he has found And may his love for them increase As he mounts the ladder round by round. And may the generations yet'unborn Be ever taught to know, The great lasting good they're done For the nations here below." "And now, in behalf of the faithful, well-trained, highly appreciative-125 employees of Poro College, please allow me, one of this number, the great honor of presenting you this buautiful bouquet in appreciation of our esteem for you." "This is a complete surprise to me," said Mrs. Malone, "we live together here like one big family. I try to make every one around me feel like we are all one family. From time to time they have done little things for me, but never before were I so completely surprised. We did not have the slightest idea that, they were thinking of us in this way. I assure you that I thank you all." Friday. There was a session of of the press The Biggest Affair Ever Put on in the West THE COLORED PEOPLE OF GREATER KANSAS CITY AND THE WEST WILL CELEBRATE LANDING OF THE FIRST NEGROES UPON AMERICAN SOIL. A wonderful and comprehensive display of the achievements and production of the Colored People of America. SINGERS AND SPEAKERS OF NATIONAL REPUTATION Under the auspices of Bishop H. B. Parks and the United African Methodist Episcopal Churches of the entire Fifth Episcopal District. 1619 Friday morning. There were many things discussed by the men who held the destiny of the race in their hands. These men are the makers of sentiment and the defenders of the race. Resolutions were passed pledging the moral support to Dr. Bundy, the man of the hour, the man whose life was being sought for and whose freedom was in jeopardy. It was impossible not alone to get in the auditorium in the evening, but the building had to be closed at 8 o'clock, for every available space was crowded. Fully 3,000 people entered the building during the evening. The citizens of St. Louis, East St. Louis, in fact, all th esurrounding towns came to see the largest businessesenterprise of the race. All races were represented. Harry C. Smith of th Cleveland Gazette, presided. He made an address on race unity. He said that the race had reached the place where it should feel its oneness. "This building is a building for the whole race and when we talk about what we have accomplished, point to it. We can take a splendid lesson from the Jew. Touch one and the whole of the Jewish race is concerned, and so it must be with the Negro. We should all feel a deep interest in that young man, Dr. Bundy, and we should all get behind him for he is ours" Mme. Anita Patti Brown, was the soloist for the evening and the principal speaker was Bishop L. J. Coppin of the African Methodist Episcopal church. The bishop was accompanied by Dr. W. H. Peck, pastor of St. James church. It was declared that the bishop spoke as never before and his address drove home many practical points to the whole race. He comended Mr. and Mrs. Malone for the monument they have erected and spoke in terms of praise for Mrs. Malone because she was an inventor, having given to the world something that helped woman to improve themselves. He spoke of some of his race who had declared that they were satisfied at being as God had made them, especially with their hair. It was the plan of the Almighty that man should improve. He has continued to improve the earth and the building was a practical demonstration of it. The race on top was the one to be emulated. He had many illustrations to back up his argument. Short speeches were made by J. Anthony Josey of Madison, Wis; Ormond A. Forte of Cleveland, Ohio, and J. Findlay Wilson, of Washington, D. C. There were many strong addresses delivered in the dining room. Capt. Robt. A. Byrd presided. Saturday. The building again was crowded and an overflow meeting was necessary. Dr. Mary Fitzbutter-Waring of Chicago, chairman of the Col. Dennison Auxiliary Red Cross work at Olivet Baptist church and captain of the canteen team which meets and serves soldiers passing through the city was the speaker. She said in part: "What plan can be advanced, what method can be pursued to draw together the factions of our people? What has been is, what will be must be the work of concentrated opinion toward furthering the great thought that our president had voiced, making the world safe for democracy and to do this we must make America safe for all American citizens. "If ever there was a time when we needed to eliminate the claim of colored people who are willing to wear a collar and believe in segregation and submission it is now. We have done all they ask for us in this world and now is the time of terms, let America accord the American Negro the rights of men and let America take her place with other great world powers in giving the dark race credit for their part in upholding right.

CITIZENS' FORUM A very large audience assembled in the main auditorium of the Metropolitan Temple and many sat in the picturesque balconies. If was the occasion of the first free "Pipe Organ Recital" by Prof. R. G. Jackson complimentary to the Forum. He is called by many our best pipe organist and has played on the four or five pipe organs of our race in Greater Kansas City, which includes Kansas City, Mo., but announced without fear of contradiction that the pipe organ at Metropolitan is the best in the two cities. He gave a fine program with only one plantation melody, "Swing Low," by Diton, a colored composer. Except the singing of his chorus of "A Long Trail," "Keep the Home Fires Burning," "Over There," etc., the writer thinks "Catalena" and "Weigenlied," although German, were among his prettiest selections, His chorus in the war songs gave as beautiful expression as the writer has heard, because sometimes our folks sing too loud all the time. Prof. Jackson has offered his services to Dr. Holmes and Prof. Buster, president of the Forum, to give an organ recital the first Sunday in each month. He will also give a Christmas reteital Sunday, Dec. 22nd. Dr. P. Davis gave a useful practical address on "Health." The whole program was superfine and received encores and compliments. Collection $7. Next Sunday, Dec. 8th, promptly at 4 p. m., the Forum will celebrate its twentieth anivarsary and Prof. J. R. E. Lee, principal of Lincoln High school, will be the principal speaker.
