Dr. J. F. Griffin, Dear Sir Today being the 12th of February, and is known by the people of America, and especially among our race, as the day of the birth of one whose influence and actions lifted from the bonded hands of our fore parents the horrors of slavery. While churches, schools, universities and social organizations throughout the states are rendering programs to honor the great works which were accomplished by our late President Abraham Lincoln, we boys of the A. E. F. have took upon ourselves this day to write a letter of confidence to some friend in the states. If that I would hold back any longer writing to you a friendly letter on conditions, I should be false to everything I believe fair and honest. I couldn't hold up my head again. I am sure you know by this time the rotten and crooked deals the American Y. M. C; A. has given us soldiers of the A. E. F; perhaps you have read of the complaints that have been made by the white soldiers of the A. E. F. So you can imagine our conditions as a race in regards to the Y. M. C. A. If any one had told me six months ago that such things were happening over here—I could have said it wasn't possible. It is together, surely, as I am alive, that the races of the world are learning to face the issues which progress teaches us to see; to fight and die that democracy might live throughout the world, regardless to race, creed or color. But because I am a member of a race which opportunities, equalities and justice have always been hidden and taken away from, it is the race which I appeal for today. Since I have became a member of this vast army of the A. E. F., I met up with men from all walks of life, Men from states where they dared ask for equalities and justice. For many years I have lived in a state where we have a chance to express our thoughts and in behalf of our people; but it is only today that I have learned in the depth of my heart, what responsibilities that right entails, what sacrifice and renunciation it may demand. I have learned how difficult it is to use power honestly, and I have learned that at all costs it must be honestly used. I have learned that in respect to this duty. I owe my country and my race the individual has no right to personal opinion, except as it is formed in relation to the welfare of the mass. I have no right to a selfish act did in my own interest or in that of my family or friends. I have only a right to an act I do in the best interest of all, no matter what the cost. A selfish act is a dishonest one. In many fights it might be easy to deceive oneself on such an issue. One might say: "There is nothing I can do. The conditions of the past have not hindered by personal prosperity." But in this fight there can be no doubt the issue is crystal clear. There is only one way to stand. And that is "Equal rights and justice to all, regardless of race, creed or color. While we were stationed at Western University, it is under the influ- ODY' AT MILO" MARCH 20th the Greatest Production 100 per night.

Jackson, of Chicago, which will be at First A. M. E. Church, corner Eighth and Nebraska avenue, Tuesday evening, March 18th, 1919. All Knights of Pythias are invited to assist the Sir Knights in this reception of our Chief Commander. Program at 8 p. m., Banquet 10:30 p. m. Col. Don Rife and his Second Regiment of Missouri will be special guests. Special Reserved Seats and Tables. 17 MAJOR R. R. JACKSON. Who will be the principal speaker at the Fifth Annual Knife and Fork banquet, at First A. M. E. church on next Tuesday night, March 18th. His subject will be, "Over There and Over Here." ; Every soldier, citizen and ence of your loyal and patriotic lectures, that we boys entered into the horrors and battles of this war with a smile, and you always spoke that if we would go and help defeat German Kultur in order that democracy might live, you would use all the power and influence that the Almighty ha: given you, to see that we as a race would get our share. And without doubt I know you are doing that. But this letter is just a reminder that we soldiers of the A. E. F. are forwarding to, our "Friend." Since ours is not costly as men count cost, but it is rich beyond price, staunch and indestructable on land and sea; it is not curtailed in peace, surrender in conquest, nor laid down at the feet of progress through hands of omnipotence, and why? Because it is on earth peace, good will towards men. A cover and a defense adapted to all men, all nations, all times, climes and "Races." I extend my best regard to all friends and your congregation. May God speed you on in your mission. I remain as ever. Respectively, SERGT. CHESTER GASKIN, Co. B, 803rd Infantry. CITIZENS' FORUM The Forum at the Metropolitan Temple, the largest intellectual body in the city, had a memorable meeting at its last assembly Instructive current events were given by Prof. H. L. Cox of Kansas City, Mo. A very classical instrumental solo was rendered by Miss Marjorie Kelly and deserved an encore. Address, "The Need of Sane Leaders," Prof. R. T. Coles, Kansas City, Mo., was full of instruction and experience. He said in part: "A true leader is free from personal ambition." Said: "Booker T. Washington was the greatest leader this race has produced, and he has no equal." He was loudly applauded on his speech Respectfully, 'GENERAL THOMAS KENNEDY, Commanding State of Kansas, 115 Knight of Pythias, of which he is chief commander of the latter of the Uniform Department, should not fail to hear him, as he is one of the race's greatest entertainers on the platform today. street talking or they would mistake her for a German." The offertory was taken by Attorney Booker, Messrs. Bond, Bourgess, Reeves and Cunnigan. Prof. Buster told of the N. A. A. C, P, mass meeting at Topeka, Then came the climax, a short talk by Dr. Bundy, who is on trial for the East St. Louis riot. His time was so short he did not get to tell all, but what he told was so sad that it made many weep. He is brave and if March 17th he is sentenced, he will go as a martyr. He received a tremendous ovatoin for his heroism. Mr. Nelson Crews introduced him in a splendid manner. Miss Anna Smith sang a high class solo, which should have been encored. All pastors and church members and colored people should have heard Dr. Bundy, who is being tried for our cause. Prof. R. Brown and Miss Kealing had charge of the program. Next Sunday, March 16th, Prof. Gregg and Miss E. Kelly will have an interesting discussion and fine music, etc., at the Forum. Come, for many of the great men of the world do their best to get before the Forum at Metropolitan Temple. The lecture by Lieut Brown Wednesday evening was largely attended. The Lieutenant talked for an hour and a half about his experience in France, which were very interesting. He exhibited and explained their use in war fighting. Mrs. Ruth Collins, 517 Nebraska avenue, is still confined to her home with illness. Her friends have greatly missed her from her church and the community for her words of encouragement and consolation. General Jackson's subject next Tuesday night is "Over There and Over Here," he is a national platform speaker, full of fire-eating words of logic, with present day truths. Rev. and Mrs. J D.

"The real hero is the man who plants himself on the principles of eternal rightousness, then grits his teeth, bows his neck, rams his heels into the ground, scorns sophistry, laughs at ridicule, defies expediency and challenges' all the smutty devils in hell and all their impudent imps on earth to a death grapple for the purity of his purpose, the courage of his conviction, and the sanctity of his soul.'—New Era. This is our position. Good people in the multitude of organizations there is no end. Be cautious. Be thoughtful. No not lose your heads. Any organization that arrogates to itself the virtues of ages—mark it well. Any organization or set of men that call you a traitor because you do not join their crowd—Selah! Do your own thinking. Any organization that hopes to do good work for humanity by cursing humanity—weigh it. Any organization that will persuade to membership by attacking discriminately men of all walks of life—just pause and think it over. Good is seldom accomplished through abuse. But as the large and various number of organizations that are springing up all over the country, let us not be resentful. It only shows an awakening. Each has some element in common. Each may be working on the same motive, however clumsily. Be a little patient with them. Many acorns fall on the ground and make an effort to rise as an oak, but few do. Don't fall out with the acorns. Many violets start, but few grow. Many human beings are born but few live to maturity. Many of these organizations will start with a boom and at the expense of another, but will soon play out. Now, when it comes to putting money into them, study the organization. Investigate the managers and promoters of it. What has been their manner of life? What of their assets, their liabilities? Above all what motive spurs them on? Is it combative? Is it envy? Is it prejudice? Then have nothing to do with it. We have been informed that those who were moving motives of the late German war. All now know the result. It takes more than money to keep these organizations going. It took more than money, men and guns, and everyone knows there was a constant call for them, to win the war. It $ ^{h} $required and demanded an exalted ideal—World Democracy. For this ideal men left home, marts and SHER. NUMBER 32 and New Jersey JR. STEWARDESS BOARD GIVES SUPERB PROGRAM On Thursday evening of last week the Junior Stewardess Board of the First A. M.

The possibility of never returning did not daunt them. We will not stop to quarrel, however just cause there is for it. We have the pleasure for the time being of presiding as president of seven hundred of the finest, sanest, most level-headed, conservative men and women, white and colored to be found anywhere in this grand old country of ours. They are amply able to take care of themselves. They know well for what purpose they stand. Their faith is well founded. They are planning for a larger and more active membership. They are striving to make eleven million American citizens physically free from disfranchisement and socially free from insult. G. A.

Westfall, as a candidate for Commissioner of Parks and Public Property. He is an excellent citizen, having been identified wit hthe city's interest for many years. He is deservedly popular and is a progressive, wide-awake citizen, ever interested in all things which look toward the development of Kansas City, Kansas. Should he be successful in his aspirations, he will make an excellent, safe and reliable official. A. L. BOSSE. The announcement of A. L. Bosse as a candidate for member of the Board of Education apears in The Advocate for this issue. Mr. Bosse is well and favorably known here, havin gbeen in active business in the city for ten years. He is a progressive citizen interested in the advancing activities of the community. If he is elected he will make a useful member of this important organization. Our Schools are the most important adjunct to the city and every family in town is vitally interested. Should Mr. Bosse be successful he will devote his efforts towards the increasing efficiency of our educationla institutions. Our announcement column contains the name of Lawyer Dorsey Green, as a candidate for member of the Board ofEducation. He is an educated gentleman, a product of Kansas City, Kansas, educational institutions. He is in every way qualified for the important position. He is a well known lawyer, enjoying a lucrative practice and is popular with the people generally. He is not a candidate be- cause he happens to more directly represent the colored population, but is running on his merits as a citizen, well prepared for the duties of the office. There are ten colored schools in the city and they are justly entitled to representation on the board of education. Should Mr. Green be successful his election would be a good thing for all concerned. LABOR TICKET. The Labor organization that has a full ticket in the field for the March primaries are showing an activity far greater universal work among all classes of electors than the average politician first realized, and they are not making any great fuss about it, simply going at it in a quiet business way, holding every day house meetings, club meetings, closing with hall meetings every night at various places throughout the city, with a number of speakers at each place. This week they broke into the colored wards, and held several big meetings which they claim were of the most encouraging kind. Who can tell but what the Federation of Labor Unions are not getting ready to open their doors to the black man. This is a period of reconstruction and it is not known as yet to the wise men what this readjustment will bring about. We do say that everything which is intended for success and victory, the black man has go to be a part of it. --- J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor. Residence, 1111 North Eighth St. Phone Bell West 2904.

He stated the reports from the various church departments were extraordinary. The members are alive to the activities of every forward movement to the interest of their Zion. The banquet, tickets have been largely, solid, and many members on Monday called for another ten tickets.

To the Colored American Citizens of the State of Kansas, Greeting: Firmly believing that the exigencies of the times demand it; believing that the interests of the 40,000 or more Colored American citizens of the great commonwealth of Kansas can better be advanced or subserved through a statewide organization, we the officers of Local Branch No.1, of the Constitutional Rights Association of Kansas, hereby extend a call to a conference or convention of the Colored Americans of the eState of Kansas to convene in the city of Wichita, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 25 and 26, for the purpose of completing a state organization of the Constitutional Rights Association, and for the further purpose of discussing matters of vital importance to us as a Race, a part of the greatest nation on the globe, and for the further purpose of devasing plans by which local branches of this organization may be organized in every city and town throughout the State where our people reside. Each and every city is urgently requested to call a mass meeting of its citizens for the selection of delegates to attend this convention. It is further urged that he various churches, lodges and other organizations interest themselves in this movement in their respective cities to the end that a representative delegation fro myour city may be elected. It is hoped that immediately upon selection of delegates, each city will notify the Secretary of Local Branch No. 1, Wichita, so that proper arrangements may be made for providing ample accommodations for all who may attend. We hope it will be borne ni mind that ladies are eligible to membership in thi sorganization on equality with men, and that a goodly number of them will be present at this convention to make of it one of the largest gatherings of our people ever held in Kansas.

There have been presented many remedies for race prejudice and many plans for race adjustment, but I am convinced that the very best plan possible is to conduct, Gospel Campaigns in such a way as to bring white people and colored people together in the worship and the service of the Lord. For the present, that means to bring the white people to the places where the colored people are, but evn to this there are exceptions. These conclusions at which I have arrived are the result of a recent gospel campaign conducted in the city of Albion, Michigan, by and for the church of which I am the pastor. Briefly, the incidents are: 1. Two days before the opening of the campaign, there appeared on the front page of the leading daily paper, an extensive write-up of the meeting, a very unusual thing. It was the result of the fact that somewhere in the south, the brother of the editor of this paper heard the evangelist, and said to his brother, the editor, "Give him all the space you can spare, for he is worth hearing!" Liberal space was given to the meetings conducted by the colored evangelist for the colored church. 2. Constant Attendance of White People. From the first service of the campaign to the very last, there was not one which was not attended by white people, not excepting the specials for men only and women only. White people volunteered the testimony that they received both inspiration and information from the sermons and addresses. Among the white people who attended these services were ministers, social workers and people of al walks of life. Prominent among them were Dr. A. R. Johns, pastor of the leading white church of the city; Dr. Abbot, the leading physician of Albion; Dr. Dickey, president of the great M. E. College at this place; Mr. Clancey, a retired minister and the father of four ministers; Prof. Maywood, a celebrated musician and composer, the wife of Dr. Dickey and other prominent women and many of the teachers of the college, theological as well as classical. 3. Services in the White Church, Too.—Our church being small, there was tendered to us the use of the First M. E. church, which seats nearly two thousand persons. In this church the colored evangelist conducted three services, including the final service, and at each one, the whites outnumbered the colored three to one, and great streams of them passed the platform, to shake hands with the evangelist and congratulate him. Though it was cold and it cost a great deal to light an dheat this church, the officers made no charge for same, for the three nights. More than this. at least four of these officers expressed a desire to have the colored evangelist return and conduct, in this church, a ramaira for all of the people. 4. Socialological Work—Finding this evangelist a student and an authority on both theoretical and practical sociological and higher eugenics. numbers of white people, men and women, professional and lay, called on him and asked for information and suggestions which might guide them in their efforts toward race adjustment. Some of these were at my house before the evangelist was dressed and down stairs, and did not hesitate to wait until he was dressed and down stairs, and they did not hesitate to remain and wait for him to put in his appearance. This same Negro evangelist was invited to visit various organizations of the white churches, to sing solos, make addresses and give information, and through these efforts he was able to inaugurate a number of things helpful to the colored people of this city. 5. Thq Sociay Side.—The evangelist was invited to the homes of the white people, to take meals with them and engage in social intercourse and refused all of these, because it was his policy to refuse all purely social functions during his revival campaigns. However, it was no uncommon thing for white people to remain and have a meal with us, in order to continue the conversation and secure information. 6. Some Concrete Results—As the result of these services and these conferences the white people became better acquainted with the colored people and understood better their skepticism in regard to the help offered by white people; the white people formed organizations among themselves for the prosecution of work among the colored people; colored people were invited to meet with the whites in the study, of conditions, and to report to them any urgent need for assistance in any way; the colored people have a different idea of the white people and their proffers of friendship and are not powerful and suspicious as they AGENTS-$6.00 A DAY AGENTS $0.50 A DAY Olive Oil Pomade is an olive oil, sage and sulphur preparation, better than all others in producing beauty, skin care, dermatology, scales, stops itching scalp, breaking, falling hair; makes hair soft, glossy, strong, healthy; keeps it silky, lustrous, wholesome; excellent for ringworm and tsetter.

Lansing. Mich. Follows Albion. The next campaign, by this evangelist was at Lansing, Michigan, and I had the privilege of running over there and getting a glimpse of the work of the campaign. I found that the same things were occurring. The legislature was in session, and at nearly every service, there were present senators and representatives. One most surprising thing was that this Negro evangelist was invited to conduct noon-day services at various industrial plants, under the auspices of the White "Y". At the Michigan Screw Co, plant he addressed 300 men, all white; at th Oldsmobile works he had an audience of 600 men, with only three colored men; at the Reo Motor plant, 1,200 men assembled at the noon-day hour, and there was not a colored face except those of the two colored preachers. At one place, music was furnished by a quartet of colored singers, and on the other occasions by white people. After one of these services, all the workers, including the colored preacher, took dinner at the white "Y. W." at the invitation of this organization. At the Reo plant, the two colored preachers had dinner at the cafeteria of this plant as the special guests of the superintendent of the welfare department. No white man could have received greater courtesies, more enthusiastic applause and more hearty commendations than were given to the colored evangelist as the men of these various plants crowded around him, thanked him, complimented him and invited him to return, and the race issue seems absolutely minus. I am informed that much of this work was done at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where generally the white of the congregations outnumbered the colored; at Benton Harbor, Mich., where half of th converts were white people; at Springfield, Ohio, where white people confessed that the campaign conducted by the same evangelist accomplished much in race adjustment and did more than any one thing to counteract the influence of the riot of a few years ago; that at Jackson, Mich., Flint and other places oftentimes there were more white people than colored people attending the services. Moreover, it is reported that right down in the heart of the south, white people attended the services in colored churches, where this evangelist is conducting services, and that they gave both moral and financial support as did the people in the northern cities mentioned. Now under these conditions, it is my opinion that it would be a wonderful investment, if the church and the race would support the work of this "apostle of a new day" and make it possible for him to conduct these campaigns on a large scale and continue th ework of soul-saving and of race adjustment. I have reserved to the last the name of this evangelist, yet no doubt you have suspected it, even if you did not "peek," for among the Negroes of this country there is just one Negro evangelist fully qualified to work and succeed along all these lines and he is Dr. R. A. Adams, of 634 Franklin avenue, Kansas City, Kan., and I take pleasure in commending him everywhere and to everyone, as he is commended by the Bishops, General Officers and all who know him and his work.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE NOT STRONG ON NAVIGATION Records Show Weakness of the Spanish Sailor in That Highly Important Matter. The Spanlards of early days were most adventurous explorers, but, for all their discoveries of distant lands, very poor navigators. After coming upon the Solomon islands in the western Pacific, they could not find them again, and they were lost for 150 years. The water supply of their ship was kept in big earthen jars. As it was impossible to provide in this way enough to drink for a long voyage, they took to sea many large mats, which when it rained were spread to catch the drops. From the mats the water was drained off into the jars. Probably it was no fault of Columbus, but his first voyage to America, which occupied two months' time, was mainly a drift. When he landed in Cuba'he thought he had reached Asia, and sent an expedition inland to treat with the great khan of Tartary. Later his flagship, the Sintna Maria, ran aground off the coast of Haiti, the natives of which island welcomed hfm most hospitably. He noticed three or four of them whose naked bodies showed scars, which they attributed to bites inflicted by man-eating savages of another island called Cuniba. Whence the origin of the word cannibal—the island Inhabited by these anthropophone being Porto Rico. Less than 100 years ago Spain still claimed ownership of the whole Pacific ocean, declaring it'a Spanish lake on the strength of Balboa's discovery in 1513. Acting upon this idea, the Spanish government ordered the commandante of San Francisco to seize the Columbia, the first vessel that carried the American flag around Cape Horn. JUDGED BY SKILL AT POKER Business Man Estimated Another's Qualifications by His Actions at the Card Table. After all, there is something to be learned from cards, even if the average gambler, who plays for the passion of the game and for the money he expects, does not always learn it. A Los Angeles business man recently asked an acquaintance, "What do you think about Smith? Do you think he would be a good man to take into our firm?" His friend looked him straight in the eye and replied, "Yes, I think he'd be a first-class man to tie to and I'll tell you why. I played poker with him last night and I discovered that he plays safe. He is what religious-minded 'people call 'good,' what cautious, conservative people call 'wise,' and what the world in general, especially the bold ones, call a coward—but a man whom nearly every one secretly 'respects' envoys and almost fears. He never takes a chance. He doesn't gamble. When he bets on a hand he's got the cards. When he doesn't get the cards he lays his hand down with a smile and waits until they 'come to him,' and then he plays 'em to the limit. Yes, I think he's safe, all right. He could play with my money at a card table or in the field of business."—Los Angeles Times. The quotation worthy of the high title of "familiar" must have stood the test of time and passed unhurt through the shifting tastes and fashions of centuries. In its lofty or in its humble way it must show that, like Shakespeare, it "was not for an age, but for all time." I use the word "humble" because the rhymes of childhood, of the nursery, fulfill the requirement of age in a quotation worthy to be called familiar. Their intrinsic, their abstract merits may appear slight, they may even seem to be sheer nonsense, but they are passed on by mothers and nurses and by the children themselves from generation to generation. We may be assured that they would not thus have lived and prospered if they had not possessed some quality, however slender, of genuine worth, of real humor or imagination, which gave them permanence.—Henry Dabot Lodge in Scribner's. James Mill, the English economist, as early as 1821, almost a century before ruthless submarine warfare was introduced by Germany, advocated a commercial world traffic under free tariff rules, so far as concerns the property of individuals in time of war. In this way, he thought, an end would be put to the difficulties and disputes about the maritime traffic of neutrals, in advocating this principle he was of the conviction that all nations gain by the free operations of commerce. Mill was also of the opinion that what justifies a nation to enter a war also determines when a war ought to cease. Mrs. Nolland, 344 Greeley, has been quite sick for some time, but is now improving.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation attended Metropolitan Temple Sunday morning, responding to the pastor's invitation, and the publicity committee's notices 'n this paper of the "Enlistment Mission" or revival. The service began with the hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," by the choir of 34 voices and the congregation. As the Mission offering was taken, the organist played the voluntary, "Pass Me Not." Pastor Holmes took his text from Lev. 829, "onsecration." At its close he led in singing, "Consecrate Me Now." The most impressive thing was when he had all to bow their heads in "silent prayer," and closed the prayer with "Nearer My God to Thee." Jesus, greatest of all, in almost every instance, went off alone to pray and the writer thinks we should shut ourselves out from the world as nearly as possible to pray. Even if the Bible says "My house shall be a house of prayer," we should beware of these long Pharaascalic public prayers. We can pray audible short prayers' or silent prayers in God's Temple. At 4 p. m., Prof. Coles and Prof. Cox of Kansas City, Mo., and Dr. Bundy of East St. Louis spoke at the Citizens' Forum at this church. At 7:45 p., m, Pasotr Holmes preached from II Aaron, "Set thy house in order," Mr White prayed and some expressed a desire to join later. The ordinary collection was about $90.

SMITH CHRISTIAN YOUNG MAN GONE TO REST The funeral services of the late Mr. Arthur Johnson, who died March 5, took place from the Metropolitan Baptist Temple the following Sunday. Promptly at 1 p. m., the funeral cortege arrived at the church and was met at th edoor by the choir, of which he was a member, arrayed in their white robes. They preceded the casket while the organist played a requiem and Rev. D. A. Holmes, the pastor, chanted "I Am the Resurrection." After they reached the altar, the choir ascended the choirloft and sang "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." Rev. Sawyer, by invitation, read the 90th Psalm. After another hymn, Mrs. W. G. Wood, the organist, read resolutions from the choir, and Mrs. I. M. Thomas read resolutions from the church. Pastor Holmes read the obituary and attested to the esteem given in the resolutions, as being true in every detail. He told of his visit to him and how great was his Christian fortitude. How he was loved by his church members, choirmembers and by all who knew him; and was an example in God's vineyard and died in the full triumph of faith. At the close of his sermon, the pastor sang the deceased's favorite song, "Is There Anybody Waiting at the Beautiful Gate?" and there was not a dry eye in the large congrega- THE OLD RELIABLE Pays the highest cash price from bottles, bones, copper, br thing in the junk line.

As we are now entering into a new crisis that has fell our lot on all good thinking people, that are loyal to this government; and true believers in the welfare of such should began now, a new form of training for the future generation. It looks as though the old writers are afraid to write as the old prophets did. When Elias' God freed the Jews from Egypt under Pharoah's rule, it looked as though we have forgotten the freedom of fifty-seven years ago, and the freedom of Cuba in 1898. We have great men of this history that deserve praises every day and every hour for the great work tha thas been done since the infancy of this baby world. With our noble men that have fought for our welfare. They have never lost a battle in our present war. Our brave boys answered to the call whether they fought or not; they were willing and ready to sacrifice their lives that our flag and the great note of our country, which is gold, silver and pearls, might stand for generations to come. We, as a people should rejoice and praise for the past record that has been made by our wise and brave men of this country. There is a new dispensation to face us and all old things are likely to be done away with. A training to love one another; a training to drill; sing; praise; rejoice; no sadness or sorrows: weeping or mourning.
