Dwiggins, chairman, was rendered in honor of Captain E. W. Latson, January 10th, at A. M. E. church. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Kansas City, Kansas, branch, has taken a vital interest in Captain Latson's case from the very moment that indignities were heaped upon him, through the arrest, court-martial and acquittal. He was ordered here by the war department. The white captain in charge, one Captain Dougherty, became nervous immediately, and proceeded without due investigation to thwart superior orders. He informed his superior officer, Lieut. Col. McGregory, that it was a colored captain. Then Col. McGregory consolled him by saying he would take care of him and proceeded to change his, Capt. Latson's orders. Capt. Dougherty ordered Capt. Latson to go out and drill the company. This he refused to do on the grounds that it was not in keeping BOUND FOR' Invention Hall Help Y. W.

This was contrary to military tactics. They admitted their error. The court-martial was held. Men who were subject to Col. McGregory were selected to sit as judges in the court-martial. Nothing on the start could be more one-sided. But facts are stubborn things, and as the trial proceeded it became more aparent to all that a frame-up had been connived. To the several charges, Capt. Latson entered a plea of not guilty. And to each one the judges rendered a decision of acquittal. The superior officers, captain and subordinates, were reprimanded by the government. Captain Latson received an honorable discharge from the army. Our branch was criticized for the stand it took in Capt. Latson's behalf. Many individuals and organizations refused to have anything to do with it. Our branch sent telegrams of congratulations to the war department at the very time Capt. Latson arrived, for sending him here. When the indignities began we sent telegrams keeping the war department and our national headquarters informed. We secured the active co-operation TICKETS Tickets "SNOW-BIT," J. O. MIDNIGHT WENDS HIS ONWARD WAY Enid, Okla.—It has been some cold thus far, and I have been snow bit several times, and I am in a little snow right now, but hope to get out of it soon, and if I fail it will not be my failure. I am now looking forward to making a trip to Florida, where there will be no snow nor hail, and where the sun shineth all day long except when it is blocked by a cloud. I wrote you the last time when I was in Wichita, Kansas, visiting Rev. J. R. Ransom; and I will be glad when I can address him as a bishop, for he deserves to be one. I had a nice time there, spending only one day, and the next day I got myself together and pulled out for Little Rock, Ark., where I spent just one more day. Dr. Ransom had told some one to arrange a lunch for me, but they forgot to do it, hence I had a nice ride, although I got hold of some sandwiches. Rev. Dr. Butler brought me some real nice cake and home-made bread. His wife is one more cooking woman. She must have been one of those who invented good cooking, yet I am not prepared to say that it is true. But if you will just give her something to cook, it will be done, and put this in your pipe and smoke it. All day, and then all night, reaching Little Rock Tuesday morning. I went directly to the Arkansas Baptist tcollege, where Dr. Booker received me with his arms wide open. He is president of that big college and I enjoyed looking at them. I can always feel good when I go to Little Rock, because our people have always been doing things down here, and some of them died last year that never died before in all this world and they will not have to go through the pain and trouble of making another die of it. They are through with it, and we here are just asking when we will have to go. Getting through with Little Rock, I went down to Arkadelphia, where I went to conference and to be there with th epeople. I reached there the last day of the year. Bishop J. M. Conner was presiding at the conference, and he is some presiding Bishop. He is doing more than any one bishop I know of for education. He is just going to do something to inspire the boys and girls and if possible make them, see what they can do and what they can be. I admire him because he is a worker and a hard worker at that. But Old Crimp caught us down in Arkadelphia, and believe me that in two days they had finished all the business of the conference and the preachers were on the train going homeI was the guest of Rev. V. M. Townsend, the private secretary to Bishop Conner, and the man that Arkansas is pushing as successor to Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary of the A. M. E. Church Extension. Of course they are not trying to push Dr. Watson out, but they want their man right on hand when he retires from the place. Dr. Watson has given to the church fine service, but like many of the men time is telling on him, and he may have to superannuate, yet it is hope that he will be able to hold on the rest of his life. We all want him to remain in the saddle. of a congressman who is a member of our branch. His telegrams and letters were read as evidence in the court-martial. In no instance did we interfere with military affairs, but in every instance we stood respectfully, persistently and alertly by with an abiding faith in the justness of Captain Latson's cause and the cruel, crushing, destroying attitude of his oppressors. They gloated over the prospect of cutting off his bars and taking away his commission. But, to the contrary, they have marred their own military record. No one regretted their going. They were lynch-law methods. We believed in Captain Latson. He believed in us; that is moral. A united personal interest each in the other, will save us all many embarrassing experiences. The N. A. A. C. P. stands for such unity of purpose throughout humanity. Respectfully. ADVOCATE INAUGURATION AND BANQUET AT 8TH ST. BAPTIST The Civic League, which is one of the most active civic bodies in the city, will hold a public meeting on Friday evening, January 24th at the Eighth Street Baptist Tabernacle, corner of Eighth and Oakland avenue. This meeting will be in a way an inauguration of Wyandotte county officials who took their offices Monday. There will be a fine program of entertainers, after which a banquet will be served. This meeting and banquet is being held by this League and colored electors of the city, in honor of those who kept their pre-election pledges, but all are invited. Major D. A. Holmes is president, and Dr. I. H. Anthony, secretary. The State Guards will turn out with their band. D. B. JACKSON, Pastor. Charms of 1,000 voices at Convention Hall, January 22nd. We are all going to Convention Hall next Wednesday night to hear Clarence Cameron White, the world's greatest race violinist. Its' for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A. Prof. and Mrs. G. A. Curry have renewed their subscription to The Advocate. Dr. Townsend is one of the strong young men in the church, and well trained. He has been active, and before he took a charge he prepared himself. Wherever you put him he will fit, and tell the people I told you this, They had some big speeches, and when conference closed I got myself together and left for Little Rock, where I spent Sunday and spoke for Rev. J. P. Robinson. He is one of the leading preachers in this section of the country and a man who speaks right out in church on whatever concerns him and his people. He knows now to be frank from start to finish. Then out to this place, where I have been thrown in touch with one of the leading physicians of our race, Dr. F. S. Jones. He is a little king in this kingdom, for he is the only doctor of our race here, and believe me, that man can just smile and cut you open, put you back together and you just go right on living. He can reach down and snatch you right back out of the grave and let you walk around some. He is a wonderful young man. He came into the world via Clarksdale, Miss., and went to public school there, and then off to Alcorn college, where he got some more education, and still more at Jackson college, Jackson, Miss., and from there to Shaw University, where he entered the Leonard Medical college and remained right there until he was a full-fledged physician, and has been out now for five years, and is doing well. Dr. Jones is blessed with a good wife, and she is right by his side. She has many friends in town, just like her husband, and I am proud to let you know her. God has been good to the people here. I am here attending conference. This one is also presiding in the same district and Bishop Conner is over it also. He is some pumpkins. I came out here with him. His wife fixed up some food for us, and believe me, when I tell you we did eat, and that all the way. She has many good things. I had the pleasure of calling at the home of Mrs. J. E. Bush and talking with her and her daughter. But now let me not forget that I am here. Rev. John A. Gregg is mentioned here for bishop to Africa. It would be a fine choice, for he is a western man, and just now he is serving as president of Edward Waters college in Jacksonville, Fla., and believe me, he has made a great president out of himself. I shall have more to say about it later. I am expecting to come through Kansas City next week; and will stop over for one day if possible. I shall be delighted to have a real line from you. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. J. O. MIDNIGHT. This Coupon is worth Dollars to you.

Ransom, one of the most widely known race leaders of all this Western country, and who has long been the leading minister of the African Methodist Episcopal church of Kansas for more than thirty years, is to sail for France this week with a delegation of ten others who were selected December 16th at Washington, D. C., by the National Equal Rights League. These eleven men were carefully selected by the hundreds who were present as the nation's champions. Out of the hundreds of votes cast for these delegates, which were many candidates, Dr. Ransom received every vote ex- REV. J. R. RANSOM Pastor St. Paul A. M. E.

'This delegation will attend the peace conference at Versailles, France, in a body and petition or have presented to the World Peace Conference for the abolition of discrimination against persons of color in every country, as an article of the world compact in the readjustment of the world. Dr. Ransom expects to be gone about sixty days and our Advocate readers will probably have an opportunity to read some interesting letters from Kansas' and the West's favorite race leader. NUMBER 24.

Mr. Thomas Knapper of Eighth street, has been apointed by the new sheriff, Mr. Wright, as one of his deputies. No better choice could have been made from any angle, as Mr. Knapper is very much a man in every respect, and will make a splendid asset to the corps of deputies. The court house has commenced looking like most of those officials who made promises to place colored men in their office are fulfilling that promise. There are some lagging, for reasons best known to themselves. We have now in the court house three men, one in the prosecuting attorney's office, as an assistant; one in the sheriff's office, and one in the probate office, who has been an incumbent of the office for two years and has made good, and those recently appointed will do likewise. IT'S GOVERNOR ALLEX. Tuesday at high noon, Governor H. J. Allen took the oath of office as Chief Executive of Kansas, "in due form." His inaugural address was in keeping with the Governor's popular oratory. Not since Governor Hoch has Kansas had an orator for Governor. Hoch made his reputation as an orator after he became Governor and for some time after his installation was the fluent speaker "discovered," but no one has ever occupied the position of Governor of this state, who was in greater demand for addresses than was Governor Hoch. He spent several years on the Chautauqua circuits after the close of his administration. It is likely that Governor Allen will be as popular an orator as was Hoch and having already a reputation as one of the most fluent public speakers in the west, it is expected that Governor Allen of Kansas, will be in great demand throughout the country, for he already enjoys a national reputation as an orator excelled by very few. The Governor's inauguration was an unusually brilliant affair. A large number of men and women who had been invited to serve on the reception committee generally attended and added much to the interest of the occasion. Representatives from practically every county in the state served on this committee. In addition to the specially invited, politicians galore were present to contribute their part towards ushering in the new administration. All the elected officers save Col. Travis, insurance commissioner, were present and took the oath of office. Col. Travis is in France. He took the oath of office in France and it was duly received and read by the secretary of state. The governor's inaugural address indicated that his administration will be one of much practical constructive policies. Seldom has a governor of Kansas been more favorably enviored for a successful administration than is that of Governor Allen. The immense problems growing out of the reconstruction required following the war will put the new administration on its metal. Much is expected of Governor Allen and the country looks for him to make good in the position to which the people of Kansas called him without any effort on his part, while he was across the sea ably contributing his part towards winning the war. The Governor's first message presented to the legislature Wednesday indicated that much constructive legislation is desired by Gov. Allen and much of it will be a new departure for Kansas. One of the largest things suggested is the matter of tenantry. But few realized that so much of Kansas farming was being done by tenants and that such a large percent- J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

It has become a serious economic problem and the new administration is addressing itself to the matter with much energy and it will be one of the crowning features of his administration should the difficult problem meet with solution in his term. The Governor's many friends are pleased to observe that the muchtalked of reform, or rather, changes in county government, so much talked about does not gratify his critics by making radical recommendations relative to that matter. He advocaes changing the constitution so that the state may be able to reach its full measure of usefulness. The Advocate joins hosts and hosts of Kansans in wishing the new administration abundant success in constructive statesmanship. QUINDARO. KANS. Mrs. H. L. Sims is on the sick list.

President Hodge having secured Dr. B. A.

Quotations, led by Mr. Manley. Current Events—Mr. C. W. Coma- ger. At this juncture, the president called on Mrs. M. C. Matthews to de- Jiver an original poem for the occa- sion, which received very great ap- plause. Then came the main feature of the program, an address, “Our Boys in France,” by Dr. Burris A. Jenkins. His talk had just enough humor and pathos in it to keep the vast audience interested, and ap- plauding him during his speech. He praised the patriotism of the colored troops and said they were more up to date in drilling than the white troops. Spoke of the bravery of the Alabama troops in the Vosges moun- tains and the 117th ammunition train, also of some soldiers deserting to the front. He praised the Tennessec troops and said: “We do not want our boys to have died in vain. Thank God the bloody war is over,” and closed saying, “God is keeping watch over His own, and not a soldier falls 2 but God knows it; and holds his des- tiny in His hands” The applause was so great it resounded to the crystal- metallic ceiling A unanimous vote of _thanks was given him.

White of Denver, Colo., will speak, and Western University or other fine music will be renderod. Come out again and crowd the Fo- rum promptly at 4 p.m. Mr. Clayborne brought Dr. B. A.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE tory in which it is situated, has been reopened under a new and vigorous management and hereafter will offer to its patrons the finest obtainable product of the motion picture art. Mr. Floyd W. Stone is owner and manager of the new enterprise and coincident to the reopening, he has booked a list of attractions of extra- ordinary appeal. : The Milo, which has been entirely renovated and redecorated, is the only motion picturé theatre in Kansas City, Kansas, for Negroes, and, as a result of Mr. Stone’s arrangements, the house will provide the same type of strong attractions offered at the biggest city theatres on a scale of prices below those asked elsewhere for this élass of productions. Everyone likes motion pictures and the last four years have seen a re- markable development of the shadow drama, Out of the mass of cinema products released on the market, a relatively small produgtion of pic- tures have been introduced whose story interest and scenic apeal justi- fy their presentation to discriminat- ing audiences. It always shall be the policy of this theatre to show only this outstanding quality of screen plays Your sustained patronage will be our constant barometer of your ap- preciation of our offerings and the expense incurred in giving you the finest examples of the silversheet, The Theatre’s Policy—“The Best Al- ways.” The admission charge at The Milo is 5 and 10 cents. This scale will pre- vail at all times, regardless of tSe strong features to be-offered. We will pay the war tax. Under the old man- agement it was the practice to boot the charge to 17 cents on nights when serials were shown in addition to the regular program. ~ However, ; no change will be made in our prices. The smashing new Universal ser- ial, “The ‘Brass Bullet,” featuring be- witching Juanita Hansen, apd photo- graphed ,on beautiful Catalina Islard. ‘will open at The Milo January 18, and it ‘will be followed, by a serial soon to be released, entitled ‘The Lure of the Cireus,” 2 gripping story of circus life in which Eddie Polo, the “Hercules of she film:,” per- forms miraculous and death-defying stunts in every episode. The best of order will be maintaid- en at all times, making this theatre an entirely suitable place of refined amusement for the entire family. Jt is‘ the constant aint of the manage- ment to present only such picture plays as will receive your highest ap- proval and at no time will any pro- duction be offered which might offend the most fastidious. Class of Productions. The Milo has booked such high- class features as Universal Special at- tractions and Jewel and Bluebird photoplays, featuring, among other well known stars, Mrs. Charles Chap- lin, Dorothy Phillips, Violet Meser- eau, Priscilla Dean and Carmel Myers. Following is a list of some of the coming attractions: First Episode of the “Brass Bu!- let” at The Milo Saturday, Jan 18th. “Price of a Good Time,” Mrs. Charles Chaplin. “Talk of the Town,” Dorothy Phil- lips. “Smashing Through,” Herbert Rawlinson. “A Model's Confession,” Mary Mac- Laren. “A Mortgaged Wife,” Dorothy Phillips. “Bread,” Mary MacLaren. “Hugon the Mighty,” Monrve Salis- bury. = “The Long Chance,” Fron Keenan. “That Devil Bateeste,” Monroe Sal- ishury. 7 “The Eagle,” Monroe Satisbury. “Brace Up,’ Franklin Famum. “A Royal Lover,” Franilin Far- num. “Winner Takes All,” Monroe Salis- bury, * - Watch this paper for weekly pro- gram. 7 Two, .shows nightly, 7:15 and 9 Pao MC ENE 7 va COR a Becca All Work Guaranteed Kassel Jewelry Co. 548 Minnesota Ave. Kansas City Kansas MUCH LIKE OTHER WRITERS Flelding’s Methods of Composition Differed Little From Those of the Better Known Men of Letters. Flelding’s methods of composition were not very different from those of other men who make literaturg their profession, according to Wilbur ‘Cross es Yale Review, Whether ‘a- writer proceeds slowly or rapidly depends up- on a variety of circumstances. Much of his work must be done under pres- sure, and when such work is success- ful he is usually not averse to telling the public how quickly’It was thrown off. Shakespeare has the reputation of writing “The Merry Wives of Wind- sor” in a fortnight in order to please a queen who could no longer walt to see how Falstaff would behave when in love; and Moliere, it is sald, asked for no more than three days for the composition of a farce urgently de- manded by the players, Likewise Fielding {n “Burydice, Hiss’d” led his audience to infer that he was good for nine scenes of a farce every day when at his best, while at other times his muse treated him badly. In another mood he gave his .readers the impres- sion that “Tom Jones” was composed at full leisure az befits a masterplece, though he probably never wrote more pages a day than when engagéd upon that novel. Taken with what he said when more off his guard his works are evidence that he experienced all the pleasures, all the labors, all the trou- bles, which have made the Ilterary ¢a- -reer a mixture of delight and pain to every one who has followed It serlous- ly as a source tor bread. SPORT 1S WORTH WATCHING National Ball Game of the Basque Mountaineers That Calls for All ? Sorts of Resourceful Work. However modest as a, geographical unit may be the Basque mountaineers of the Pyrenees, theré remains to their credit a national ball game that will yield nothing to the finest sport- Ing efforts of the Anglo-Saxon people, whether In the matter of pure recrea- tion or of spectacular Interest, The tourbillon-like movement with which the player, the pelotari. swings round to catapult the ball with backhanded fling to the great wall eighty yards away fs no less graceful than the sweeping hurl of the discobolus, white the vigorous contest under the lee of the wall, where the ball Is slrot from the “chistera,” the curved wickerwork glove, with marvelous rapldity, affords an unlimited display of resourceful tactics. The referee, bright-colored beret on head, sings the score in set refrain and the applause thunders from the crowd as Chiquito, or Mel- chior, or some other national hero of this “pelote basque” game earns his meed of praise. Poetry Simpler Than Prose. Poetry only naively acknowledges the ecstatic monotony that lives in the heart of all rhythw, brings It out into the light, and there openly weaves upon it the patterns of melodic sound. Poetry Is thus the more natural, and hoth historically and psychologically the more primitive of the two arts. It Is the more simple. Meter, and even thyme, which is but a colored, ight drumbeat, accentuating the meter, are not “ornaments” or “refinements” or something else which may be called “rhythmical speech.” They are the heart of rhythmic speech expressed and exposed with a perfectly child- iike and candid grandeur. Prose ts the refinement. Pros¢ fs the sophistl- cated and studio accompaniment—a thing that infinite numbers of people have not the fineness of endowment or cultivation elther to write or read. Prose is a civilized sublimation of po- etry, in which the orlginal healthy in- toxicant note of the tomtom Is so lald over with fine tracerles of related gound that it.can no longer be {den- tified at all except by the analytical eye of sclence—New Republic.

PAGE FOUR H SU WILL MAKE HIS APPEARANCE IN KANSAS CITY, KANS SUNDAY, JANUARY 19 AT THE KANSAS CITY, KANSAS SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 1919 AT THE CITIZENS' FORUM 4 O'CLOCK P. M. Under Auspices of THE CITIZENS' FORUM Prof. John A. Hodge, President Fountains In Lisbon. A delightful feature that attracts the attention in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is the many fountains to be found everywhere. Here are figures of Neptune, or obelisks of marble; there are a sculptured Venus and Adonis, and again, as on the Largo do Carno, an original erection in the form of a temple, and elsewhere simply the followed shell and a faucet with chained cup. Some of them are beautiful, all are interesting by reason of the picturesque groups which collect around them to draw and fetch water. The women, says an exchange, have as free and graceful a carriage in balancing their large water jars sideways on the head as the women of the Ork- Behind every manifestation of thought or emotion the Briton retains control of self, and is thinking: "That's all I'll let them see," even: "That's all I'll let myself feel." This stolcism is good in its refusal to be foundered; bad in that it fosters a narrow outlook; starves emotion, spontanelty and frank sympathy; destroys grace and what one may describe roughly as the lovable side of personality. The English hardly ever say just what comes into their heads. What we call "good form," the unwritten law which governs certain classes of the Briton savors of the dull and glacial; but there lurks within it a core of virtue. It has grown up like callous shell round two fine ideals— suppression of the ego lest it trample on the corns of other people; and exaltation of the maxim: "Deeds before words."—John Galsworthy. 8TH ST.
