Kansas City Advocate

KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. Stuttgart, Ark.—It is hard to tell when I will ever get over what I have seen in the past few days, and I have just been shouting all over myself, and perhaps will never get through with this shouting business. I am sure that you rejoice with me and I am ready and willing to rejoice with you. I told you last week about some of the things I saw in St. Louis at the opening of the Poro building. I had the pleasure of meeting some strong educated men there, and I am still thinking about them. To shake hands with brains is indeed a great thing and this is what I have done. I have told you about Roland W. Hayes, that great singing man. Well he has made his bow and gone to another part of the world, so I could not get to talk to him much. Next found me in company with Editor John H. Murphy, and you know he is more writing man. He came all the way from Baltimore, Md., to see the building in St. Louis, and he declared that he was well paid for the trip. I have not seen his paper, but will see it in a few days and will see then what he had said about all of this great work done by us and for us. We are certainly in it, because Aaron and Mrs. Malone belong to our race and they cannot get away from us. So that building that stands as a monument, we can all point to it and say it is our building. Every white man, picks out the biggest white and measures himself by him, and that is what we must do, and it is just what I am going to as long as I belong to the race, and I do not see any chance of getting away from it before judgment time. I just walked around and walked around. I could not remain in one place during my whole time there. I shouted a while and prayed a while. The more I looked the more I wanted to shout. I heard them big men talk about the building, I heard them talk about the Malones, and then I heard them-talk about the struggle, and then say big things about the race, and you must not blame me if I shouted just a little too much. I have told you about the building, but I have not told you about the furniture, and this you must know just as soon as I can get around to it, perhaps in my next letter. It is a rare thing you see business people break down and cry, but such was the case in Prof. Malone. He certainly did do some of it. It was one night that a woman presented Mrs. Malone with some flowers in the name of the orphans, and he was called upon to respond. He told that large crowd of people that he and his wife were both orphans at 2 years old, and he was always glad when he could do something for them. He declared that the building and the business were not to make money for himself and wife, but to enable them to assist in worthy causes. He said that they were going to look after the orphans and the old folks. I found myself shedding tears also. I have never been able to understand this crying business—may never understand it. They had some orators there if you will believe what I tell you. Hon. Nelson Crews, one of the greatest speakers of the race, was down there from Kansas City, Mo., and he made a great speech which was in keeping with his reputation and the occasion. As he spoke I could not keep still. I shouted right out. Roscoe C. Simonds spoke also, but—well he was tired, for he had been speaking many times. He paid a high tribute to the Malones. He is the most speaking-est man on the rostrum today. He is sought the country over. They called on me to make a few remarks, and I made them in and out of place. I AND MAKE HER A SKIRT AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT SHOES. HATS. FURISHINGS THE EAGLE 507 Minnesota Avenue Ben Deutch, Manager just had to tell what I thought of the building, and wanted to become a member of the Malone family. Some of them laughed at me. I was thrown in touch with some of the people around the building. Miss Bernice Moody, who seems to stand right next to Mrs. Malone. She is a niece, being the daughter of Mrs. Malones sister. She is one more fine young woman, and knows how to look after business. You can just rely on her. She is a woman that when you see her she is just looking after business. No time for idle play. Right by her side is the confidential stenographer, Miss Elizabeth Smith, of Quincy, Ill. She has been there since September last and believe me she is doing some work. She was just busy all the time I was there, and it was a source of pleasure to see this fine young woman. I talked with her and she talked with me, but there wasn't much time for talk, because business had to be done. I could just sit down here all night and write about the building, but then I could not tell it all. In emopany with Editor King, I got in the car and Mr. Brown toted me down to the Missouri Pacific and I beat it to Arkansas, getting off in Little Rock. I went to the home of Dr. Joseph A. Booker, and found that he had been sick, suffering with the "flue" or something else. You are in style now when you get a light "flue" bullet hit you, and in a grave and up for a big time if you let a heavy one hit you. That business is claiming so many people. You will note that most of those who have been victims have been white people and it is due to the fact that white people segregated it and there was not suits filed in court to prevent them from doing so. There is one thing they have been able to put the segregation ban on without a protest. Dr. Booker was happy, because his son had made his commission and was discharged in a few days. He worked and that real hard, and I tell you young Booker would have made the world know that he was in the army. Wait until our boys come back and you begin to hear of them and their work, then you will have a few things. I wish that you could get hold of that book which has been gotten out by Editor John L. Thompson, of Des Moines, Iowa. He is of the Bystanded. It contains the pictures of all them boys who trained in the first camp at Des Moines, and a short sketch of the men who were there. It is worth having and would make a fine Christmas present. I am glad I had the pleasure of seeing it. Not only saw it, but bought a copy, From Little Rock, I made a trip out to Sweet Home in company with Rev. W. O. Davis. They certainly have some rich farmers out there. I spent the night in the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Nealey, and left the next morning for Pine Bluff. They had a fine set of young men in college. Time will not permit me to tell you about them all, but I must tell you that Prof. J. G. Ish, Jr., has served his people well. He is a great educator, and in my opinion will be in the class of Booker T. Washington, Williams Hopper Councill and other great men. I shall not tell you all about him in this letter. I beat it from Pine Bluff to where I am now, and I am here with Bishop J. M. Conner in conference. He is doing some work. In this state men are getting in shape. They are booking Dr. V. M. Townsend for the position of Secretary of Church Extension, and he would make a good one. I am sure you have met him. He has been on CITY Mrs. W. A. Robinson of Bethel, Kansas, who has been sick for many months, died December 2nd, and was laid to rest Friday, the funeral being held from the First A. M. E. church, of which she had long been a member, Rev. J. F. Griffin officiating. Mrs. Robinson was a splendid woman and all through her long sickness was patient and of a cheerful disposition. She was identified and very active in lodge circles. The husband and family relatives have the sincere sympathy of a host of friends in this community. 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF CITIZENS' FORUM A large crowd, but not quite as large as the one at the free pipe organ recital, attended the Forum, Dec. 9th. The occasion was the 20th anniversary. The program was good but some expectd to hear a talk or paper on the origin of the Forum and its early day meetings from its first president, first members or the sixth president to know how, amid vicissitudes the society has prospered and grown. It would have also given the principal speaker a theme to talk on. The Metropolitan Temple, its regular meeting place, was artistically decorated with the national colors, also large flags, and the most beautiful tree palms we have seen used were arranged in great numbers around the large church altar. Seven of the ex-presidents were seated on the rostrum, also Pastor Holmes and President Buster presiding. The ex-presidents present were: Prof. W. G. Wood, Dr. D. W. (White, Attorney D. E. Henderson, Mr. I. B. Blackburn, Prosecuting Attorney E. A. Shackelford, Prof. G. A. Gregg, Prof. T Davis and Mrs. W. Dwiggins. The following program was rendered: Invocation. Rev. G. A. Terry. Invocation, Rev. G. H. Clyde Current Events, Prof. G. Crews, W. U. Graduate. Music, Miss S. Miller. Tenor solo, Mr. J. A. Hill. Address, Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Kansas City, Mo Quartette, Mrs. Frazier and daughters. Quartette, Prof T. H. Reynolds, Messrs. L. Terrill, F. Anderson and H. Tucker, of Sumner High triple encore. Critic's report, Prof. G. A. Curry, Benediction. Prof. Lee paid a high tribute to the Forum members for having survived 20 years. It is the only society of its kind in Greater Kansas City. He would have said more on the existence had he heard some one who was in the organization give its aims and accomplishments. He talked on "Education." He said in part: "After we get the mechanics in reading, etc., we should be taught from the standpoints of health, industrialism, recreation, leisure, etc. Prof. Buster said he opened up an avenue of thought on a heavy subject. Prof. A. J. Neely praised the address but did no tagree with all that the speaker said. Prof. Grisham arose to discuss, but the time for adjournment cut him off. The collection was $840. Mr. H. Dwiggins and Mr. H. S. Mobiley arranged the program. Next Sunday will be "Teachers' Day," a fine program is expected. Come at 4 p. m. Mrs. Nettie Hogg-Ewing, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Hogg, who underwent an operation at Bell hospital Monday, was not strong enough to survive the ordeal and passed away Tuesday morning. Mrs. Ewing lived in Chicago and her husband brought her home to have the operation performed. The husband and relatives have the sympathy of their many friends. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon. the scene for many years, yet he is a young man. I should think about forty years he has been in the ground of sorrow. He has many friends. We are all looking to the time when Dr. J. R. Ransom will be made a bishop. He is down in Wichita, Kans. I am going to look into Kansas for a few days before I pass through Kansas City. I shall bring this letter to a stop. Another one will follow next week. J. O. MIDNIGHT. ADVOCATE FORUM TO ELECT OFFICERS SUNDAY The president, G. B. Buster, will be the principal speaker Sunday, giving to the public and Forum goers something of vital importance at this special period. Prof. Clyde Loyd Glass, the noted pianist in this part of the country, will render several selections. Other good numbers will be on the program. The election of officers will take place at this meeting. ALONG THE LINE OF REASON "Well, ef here you ain't er gin,"—Uncle Ike. "Yes, I'se here in town, Honey, and I was to de Forum Sunday. Listen ter me,—I sho' did learn some-thin. You know I'se been tryin' ter tell yu all dat. We is a peculiar people, and is got Culiarities. "And now dat de Doctor,—done tole yuh, de same thing, I recon yuh will believe it. You surely can not forget how he told you of dem Per-culiar Swintoms dat we has,—and which has ter be considered. And since such is the Fact, and the Truth of the situation, why in the name off all Good, Bad and Indifferent, can we not accept it, and use it along the line of lives and actions? And in every branch thereof. The facts and circumstances are the same,—the very same; and there is no possible way to escape the conclusion. That if the Negro Preacher and Doctor are the better, and more effective, because they are "To the Manor born." There is no getting away from the conclusion: That the same is Trug in every other line, and walk of our lives. Those engaged in such walks and lines, can give better and more efficient service, than our "Other friends. And this reasoning applies to all, without exception. The very able gentleman state that excessively often (daily or weekly), he was called to treat injury cases from automobile accidents. It is a safe proposition to say "That nine out of ten cases of such injury, especially the kind he mentioned, calls for the services of a Lawyer, in order that they may be best managed and subserved. A Lawyer, who like the Doctor and Preacher, is of and out of the class he serves, and knows their Peculiar Symptoms. And we can not get away from the following questions which rise on the face of these facts to-wit. (1)—Where do these cases go? (2) Why is it, that they do not find their way to Negro Lawyers? (3)—Is there any good reason, why they do not go to Negro Lawyers? However, there is one fact, that is beyond any and all question. 'Tis that, the Doctor disclosed a state of facts, that is worthy of most serious consideration. From which it is as clear as the monday sun, that the field wherein, much good can be done by co-operation; between the Lawyer and the Doctor, is wholly neglected and unworked. Then with the force of Jove's Thundrebolt, comes the question: "Why not see, and feel each other's care, and get Busy and join hands and work to each other's interest. And Reason's unerring finger points, that such is the proper thing to do. Then why waste more time.—Why slumber longer in the Wilderness of Doubt.—Distrust and Lack of Confidence in each other? Then why not, Doctors, Lawyers, Laymen, Business men, Preachers and People; all join hands, Hearts and Interests, in this question of our Welfare, and work together. And stop the foolish practice of fearing that we will do something to benefit each other.—while we, thereby, continually play into the hand, and benefit of those, NOT of our Race. It is time we had those propaganda sermons. Let's have them. UNCLE IKE. The many friends of Mrs. Ruth Collins will be pleased to know of her rapid improvement after several weeks' illness. The American Woodmen took in another large class last week. Some time early in January they expect to have the Big Chief here, when an elaborate affair will come off. THOS. KENNEDY, PUBLISHER.

Dec. 11, 1918 Dear Members: You are hereby notified that owing to the "influ" ban, the executive committee of Interstate Literary Association of Kansas and the West, which met Dec. 7 in Kansas City, Mo., at the Y. M. C. A. passed resolutions to postpone the 28th annual session, which was to convene in Wichita, Dec. 26-27-28. Resolutions were drafted by the executive committee and will be published in all the leading newspapers. On account of the executive committee having incurred some expense in advertising in newspapers, sending out circular letters and stationery, all old societies are requested to send their annual fee to the corresponding secretary, that these may be paid. Done by order of executive committee. J. L. Bowler, Chm. Mrs. W. W. Caldwell, Corresponding Sec. HOLZMARK FURNITURE CO. GOING OUT OF BUSINESS The Holzmark Furniture Company one among the oldest and largest in the Middle West, is going out of business, and will commence Monday the 16th to dispose of their $60,000 stock at a great sacrifice sale, which has to be sold in a short time, as other parties have leased the rooms they have occupied for more than 30 years. Everything will be sold for cash, of which will practically be manufacturers' prices. The large ad which appears in this issue only gives a few of the many bargains that can be had in this closing out sale. The Holzmark Furniture Company has for many long years been the idol of thousands of our colored homes. Mr. Baldock, who has been sick so long, does not seem to get any better. Mr. and Mrs. Heuston on Nebraska avenue, will leave for California soon. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Matthews have purchased the home of Mr. Stafford and are now living on State avenue. Miss Cora Jones at the "Y" is somewhat indisposed. Mr. J. Webb, 906 Walker avenue, was knocked from his wagon last Saturday about 1 o'clock by being struck by a street car on the Missouri side, and was badly bruised about the body, and it is feared he received internal injuries. Mr. Webb was unconscious for several hours. He is getting along fairly well, as has been reported.

The cochineal, a scale Insect living on cacti in the Amer- ican tropics, besides having medicinal qualities, yields the two dyes called carmine and lake. While nowadays most dyes are chemically made, the natural dye of the cochineal is em- ployed in coloring soldiers’ uniforms, as it stands the weather better than commercial dyes, The pupae of a Mex- fean black fly which swarms in great quantities near Lake Texcoa are used aa fertilizer.

Lac has also been used to make dyes, but while the lac industry 1s a growing one, the em- ployment of lac in making dyes has probably had its day. The best lac is obtained from Bengal and the central province of India. It is also used ax stiffening for hats,sealing wax,as an Ingredient of lithographic Ink, in elec- trical work and in the manufacture of gramophone records. SPRING FESTIVAL IN CHINA Boginning of tho Year Ie a Time of Rojolcing Throughout the Whole Country. In the United States one knows that Spring has come when he sees boys playing marbles and flying kites. In China, says the Christian Science Monitor, there are regular spring-play- ing festivals that all the people have @ part in and which are especially in- teresting for children. Just when the spring festival comes depends on the moon. It is the be ginning of the year In China, and in the first moon the magistrates and oth- er important persons in the town go out in a procession “to meet the spring.” It {s at the lantern festival, the 15th of the frst month, that the children have the best time. Brightly colored lanterns are everywhere, at the doors of shops and houses, and carried in processions, Boughs of evergreen are also placed above the doors, and there 1s an abundance of “moon cakes,” Ut- tle round sweet rice cakes, ‘The boys dress up In all sorts of fan- tastic clothes, sing, dance and give Ut- tle plays. They wear masks of ani- mals and of human faces, Companies of them go about through the streets of their villages, and from one village to another. Now and then a group ot maskers will be seen on high stilts. There is a very pretty dance where every dancer carries a lighted lantern ‘This is called the lantern dance, Lodge Notices EUREKA LODGE NO. 2. 1. 0.

The Negroes of Kansas City and the western states are preparing to celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of the coming of their race to America by giving here in Convention Hall, an exhibition of their accomplishments, on January 29, 1919. A local committee has been appointed to take charge of the arrangements, of which Rev. Wm. H. Thomas is chairman and it will be assisted by persons from the various cities of the West. A publicity committee composed of Nelson C. Crews, Thomas Kennedy and C. A. Franklin, and a committee on exhibits with Rev. F. J. Peck as chairman will assist the executive committee. The celebration is fortunate in having here at hand several groups of trained workers who will take the lead in the preparation of exhibits. Rev. Peck is the president of one such group, Western University at Quindaro, Kansas. Women's work will play a prominent part in the exhibition. Both because of the new appreciation of the value of women in community life, and because Negro women have long contributed to industry, far more than other women, according to the United States census, this feature alone will justify the exhibition. The celebration idea is born of a resolution adopted by the bench of bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and the one to be held here will be representative of all the states in the Fifth Episcopal district of that church. They are the Trans-Missouri States, and the presiding bishop is Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks. Mrs. Hallie Cole, sister to Mrs. Maud Jones, is here from Oklahoma and will remain till spring. Miss Leona Greene, from Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, visited her parents four or five days. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE. State of Kansas, Wyandotte County, ss.

Edward Thomas Denby, Bishop suffragan of Arkan- sas, and first colored Bishop of the Episcopal church exercising jurisdic- tion in the United States, will preach ‘in the Church of the Ascension, cor- -ner Third street and Stewart avenue at the 11 o'clock service on Sunday “morning. Bishop Denby Is well known in Kan- «sas City, having been at one time Rector of St. Augustine’s church on -the Missouri side. His visit to Kan. sas City is therefore anticipated with “much interest and pleasure by mem:- bers and friends of the church whick he represents. The Rector and parishioners bf the Church of the Ascension cordial invite their friends and the public to be present at the service on Sun day morning. METROPOLITAN “"' TEMPLE NOTES Ca The De ” A large audience assembled in this church Sunday, and at the morning service, Pastor Holmes preached on “The Name of Jesus,” and three souls were added to the church. At nigh, he preached on the 85th Psalm: “Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.” Take the name of Jesus with you, and let Jesus come into your heart were some of the songs in which the congregation assistea in singing so spiritually. The collection was $352. Next Sunday, Dec. 15th, a memorial service will be had for the boys of this church, who went to France in the United States army. At this writing, all from this church are safe. Al lare invited to attend this church and especially the Memoria! service. RESOLUTIONS OF THE AUDIT- ING COMMITTEE. Whereas; A false rumor has‘ beer spread to the effect that our Endow. ment Treasurer, Brother Samuel Diggs, was short in his accounts and which report, if allowed to go un- challenged, might cause some to be- lieve it, and - Whereas, Brother Samuel Diggs mowing this rumor to be false and malicious by whomsoever it was that circulated it, respectfully asked that the Beets of the Endowment Depart- ment be audited by the Auditing Committee, to see as to the truth or sfaleeness of the charge. We, your committee on auditing, ‘woud respectfully state that after 2 careful examination of the books of the Endowment Treasurer we find everything perfectly correct—his re- ceipts and disbursements being regu- Jar—showing the funds received from the different lodges, and in each case the slip from every secretary from the lodges paying the money and we found that in every instance where money was paid out receipts showing properly to whom, and for what purpose paid—We, find abal- ance in the Endowment Treasury of WLSL, . | Your committee, therefore, in jus- tice to Brother S. Diggs, takes this opportunity to highly commend the Endowment Treasurer for his eaact business methods in keeping the funds of the order, and for sc care- fully guarding the interest of the So- ciety. And we would furvier recom- mend tnat this report which com- pletely, exonerates the Endowsaent Treasurer from the faize and mali- cious, kumors started, shall be read in avery fadge of the ozte? to the end the+ ths false report may be con‘1a- dicted. Your Committee begs leave to say in closing that the high character of Samuel Diggs as a busines man, and his standing as a good citizen, make for him a shining mark for the envious and jealous who would glad- ly bring him to their level, if it were ‘possible, but wherever known Broth- er Diggs is highly esteemed and re- spected by all : Respectfully submitted, MRS. HATTIE EWING, Chairman. EMMA KING, MELISSA ADAMS, Committee.
