KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50... Down in a Dungeon He Was Carried, Chains Put About His Limbs, and—But Read it and See How It Ended. Tampa, Fla.—It is nice to be down here in the winter, but when the winter is over, well, I don't know what I want to say, except it is not like the summer time. When it is hot it is hot and that is almost the whole winter around. FORTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION Of Heroines of Jerocho I wrote you last week from way up in North Carolina, and see where I am when I write to you now, but I will bet you my head to a ginger snap and a zuzu snap at that that I will not be here when you read this letter, because I have a good many things as well as miles before me when I leave here I am just about to ride by fool brains out, and it may be that I will resign. As I told you, the editor is thinking of calling me in, because of my heavy expense sheet and if he should then I will get a job slinging hash. They have hash slingers riding around on them eating cars, and I think I could hold down a job. I was in North Carolina just last week, and having accepted an invitation to come down here to get into the Knights of Pythias, I came, and while I did not know the signs and words, I paid a man $10 to make me a Knight. He 'painted my face as black as blackest ink, and then carried me down into a dungeon, put chains about my limbs, made me pull off all of my clothes and take a bath in ice water. Then about 10 men rushed to me with pokers red hot and threatened to put out my eyes if I told anything and even to burn my tongue out. I got so excited until I thought that I was a direct candidate for heaven and felt my little wings coming out. A tall man dressed in green, rushed up and begged them to save my life, for I would stand the test of a man. They then dressed me up in a coat of many colors and had me to ride in a little chariot, through a hot room. Then they gave me a shower bath, and forced me to climb a slick pole, and every time I slipped back a man would apply a blacksnake to my minute book. After passing through all of this I was given the signs, and the password which they told me not to forget, but it strikes me that it has gone now, but now I have it: "Liver and onions." A suggestive password, but upon it I was admitted into the Grand Lodge, where I met some men. The head of the order in Florida is General W. W. Andrews, who is a small man, but they tell me that he is a man of brains and real worth. He received me and extended me the hand of a man. It was a source of pleasure to be with him and his people. He is a fine presiding officer and I do not need to tell you that I was received with honors, and that he was re-elected. I like to come in touch with our strong men. Now I had the pleasure of meeting the chief of the whole order, Hon. S. W. Green, of New Orleans. They call him the Supreme Chancellor, but what that is I do not know. He is a big man in mind and soul, but small in body. He was on hand and made one more big speech, because he said that he had something to speech about. He told of the various lawsuits into which the order had been drawn from time to time One of them being with Grand Chancellor and grand lodge of Virginia. The man in question is John Mitchell, Jr., who came into the world fighting. Sir Green is some scraper, too. They did not fight it out with fists, but Mitchell toted them into court. The case had been arguified time and time again until just the other day, May 5, in Washington, D. C., the United States Court of Appeals had decided the case in favor of the supreme lodge, and as he told it the Knights all but stood on their heads rejoicing. I went down into the Grand Court of Calanthe, and told them at the door "Ham and Eggs" and the door was opened wide and I was permitted to walk in. Presiding over the order was Mrs. E. J. Collier, of Orlando, who was filling out the vacant place caused by the death of Mrs. Reed, the worthy grand counsellor. She is one more good presiding officer, hence I do not need to tell you that she was unanimously elected to the Continued on Fourth. Page.

TO R SILVER BAND FOR O By Order of General Pershi Awarded 805th Pioneer In in Meuse-Argonne NOTED NEGRO IS SPEAKER HERE Says South Must Learn Schools are Cheaper Raleigh, N. C., May 29.—"The South must learn that it is cheaper to build school houses and employ competent teachers than it is to build jail houses and employ police officers," was the declaration made by Charles Stewart, A.M., D.D., one of the most noted Negroes in America in addressing the colored people last night at St. Paul A. M. E. church. Dr. Stewart was staged to deliver two lectures to his people in the city, the first being Thursday night at the First Baptist church when he spoke on "Sambo Waxed Fat and Kicked" the last one was last night when he spoke on "Uncle Ned and His Son." The church was crowded. "The Negro must be reached by the Negro," said Dr. Askew in presenting him, "and for that reason the ministers of the city are going to unite and bring here some of our best men and women to speak words of encouragement and we are fortunate in being able to secure as our first speaker one of the most noted men of our race and one of the busiest men in America." "The science, skill and brain of the American white man and Negro won this world-wide war," declared Dr. Stewart. "There are many in this audience who had some part in it and I wish I could, say that all did. If you did not fight, you did buy a Liberty Bond? If not get busy and have some before tomorrow night. Be able to say I have done my duty for the flag which our boys have died for, for which our fathers gave their lives and for which we are willing to spill all of our blood. "The Negro has had placed in his hands that which is the property of every American citizen with which to protect their property—even their lives, the highest privilege of an American citizen—the ballot. The right of franchise is based on the right of taxation. No citizen can live in a community or state without his burden of taxation, whether or not he is landlord, lessor or tenant; because property, both real and personal, are taxable, and the laws of taxation are based on community value. Therefore, the burden of each district bears the relationship to its maintenance. "By the spirit of patriotism, by the usage of the nation, by the laws of society, the Negro is entitled to his ballot and should not be disfranchised. To be a man with education, he must have freedom; to have freedom he must be honest; to be honest he must be brave; to be brave he must love; to love he must be honorable; to be honorable he cannot be without the ballot."

Herewith is a copy of the order issued at these headquarters on the subject of the award of silver bands, to be engraved and placed upon pike of colors or lance of the standards of the organizations which have served in the A. E. F. Even if we could get here in France the prescribed silver bands, it would be impossible to have the engraving done in time to present them to the organizations entitled to them. For that reason, each organization is given a ribbon which shows in which battles it participated. This ribbon will be retained until the proper silver band is presented by the War Department. 2. The Commander-in-Chief directed me to send the ribbons to you, and to ask you to present them with appropriate ceremonies to the units for which they are intended. He regrets very much that this cannot be done by him in person. BY COMMAND OF GENERAL PERSHING, J. J. JONES. Hq., 805th Pioneef Infantry, American E.

In a proper grammatical manner he quoted from great men like Demos- thenes and Cicero and Socrates; also gave our Booker T. Washington as an illustration. He told the young people to thing proper thoughts and chieve honor: and the greatest of all to serve God in order to gain Eternal life.” There seemed enrap- tured and as he closed the great au- dience gave him an ovation of ap- plause.

The many dinners and luncheons for me were highly appreciated. I also wish to thank those who gave my little daughter such lovely parties and the beautiful and useful presents given her. Each and all shall ever have a warm place in my heart. As we were preparing to leave for our home, a party of the Priscilla Art Club, of which I am a member, came in and presented me with many handsome presents The leaders of the party were: Mrs. W. J.

PALMER'S SKIN SUGGESS Soap THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE SAW, FAR INTO THE FUTURE Men Predicted Coming of the Telegraph and Airplane as Far Back as Seventeenth Century. One hundred and four years ago, at this season, the war of 1812 was practically over. Peace was signed at Ghent on the evening of December 24, 1814, and then things moved fast, according to existing standards. December 26 one of the American secretaries left Ghent for London and January 2, 1815, he left England for New York, where he arrived some time in February, and his news was immediately delivered to the citizens by printed handbills. Other cities, however, had to remain in ignorance during the time it would take a fast rider to urge his galloping horse over the roads between them and New York. The telegraph was not yet invented, says Christian Science Monitor, although Joseph Glanvill, a seventeenth century preacher with an interest in the possibilities of invention, had told the Royal society that "to confer, at the distance of the Indies, by sympathetic conveyances may be as usual to future, times as to us in literary correspondence." Glanvill, by the way, also told the Royal society that "to those who come after us it may be as ordinary to buy a pair of wings to fly into the remotest regions as now a pair of boots to ride on a journey." Boy Bables Arrive. From Reading comes the news that Berks county babies are very largely male. If there are those who consider this a phenomenon, they are little acquainted with history. It is the universal experience that immediately after any war the birth rate rises and males are in the majority. This is the way in which nature cares for her own, although no scientist has been able to give any satisfactory explanation of the fact. Unless this reproduction of the destroyed sex was universal we should soon have a one-sided word in the matter of sex. We have had wars from time immemorial and many of them have been extremely bloody, but the average of the sexes has been maintained to the satisfaction of humanity. Nature is good to her own and preserves by curious methods a balance which is beneficial to the race. Twenty years from now the world population will be greater than in 1914, even if it is not, as some claim, already greater, in spite of the loss of 6,000,000 or more lives.-Philladelphia Evening Bulletin. Flint Refuse of Value. A remarkable record of an important prehistoric industry is promised by the archeological survey now being directed by Dr. W. T. Mills, in the Flint Ridge district, between Columbus and Zanesville, O. An outcrop of flint-bearing limestone extends for ten miles or more, and is entirely covered with pits, dug by the ancient miners in search of workable flints. The waste fragments chipped from the flints in making arrowheads and other implements form nearby deposits 15 feet deep in places, supplying material of modern value for road building. EMPORIA, KANSAS Rev. C. A. Woods went to Ottawa Monday on some urgent business and returned home Tuesday. Rev. W. H. Merritt of Pratt, Kans., called at the A. M. E. parsonage Monday to shake hands with Rev. and Mrs. Woods, and left at 12:05 p. m., for Pratt. Mrs. Elsie L. Clark of Quenemo, after visiting Mrs. C. A. Woods, left Tuesday for her home. Rev. R. E. Harper assed through Emporia Tuesday enroute to Great Bend, Kanssa, to take charge of the A M. E. church. The Odd Fellows had their annual sermon preached at the St. James Baptist church Sunday, May 11th by the Rev. Wm. Martin of the Christian church. There were quite a number of visitors from Council Grove, Dunlap and Osage City. A number of students who have been attending the Normal will leave this week for their several homes. The A. M. E. Sunday school is doing fine. CARD OF THANKS. I want to thank my neighbors and friends for such great love and kindness shown to me in the long illness and death of my husband who departed this life Thursday, May 22, 1919. I especially mention Company E, K. of P., Kansas City, Mo., who was just as loyal as any organized body of men could be. And the Eighth Street Tabernacle church rendered such great assistance.-Effie Hill. We always feel proud of our young men, and also our young girls, when we hear good reports of them. And when you deliver the goods as this young artist is, you will receive that same statement from the head of your department. Mr. Wilburn is from Lawrence, Kans. Revs. J. F. Griffin, R. S. Everett. Thos. Greeh, of Parsons, and Editor Kennedy attended the District Conference at Bonner Springs Wednesday. They motored up in Dr. Griffin's car. If you are suffering from any weakness, irregularity or distress of the heart you should try this reliable medicine. Mrs. Mary E. Sheafer, West Philadelphia, Pa., found great relief. She writes: "I believe if it had not been for Dr. Miles' Heart Treatment I would have died, and I owe my recovery to this Medicine." Suppose you get a bottle of this medicine today and try it. Money back if first bottle fails to relieve or satisfy. SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. The people are rallying to the cause in splendid fashion.

I notice that Emmett J. just skinned the cat with bois, and I am proud of it. the world had it a few m that good Dr. DuBois I from grace, and had sold I had the pleasure of meeting one of the most noted Pythians. I have met in this world, and I admire him because he is friendly, courteous, and a refined Christian gentleman, General Joseph L. Jones, who is at the head of a regalia house, and a man who knows a thing or two. He is what they call the Supreme Worthy Counsellor. He is to this order what Sir Green is to the other order. He is to the female branch of the order the official head, and I am told that he is a good one. General Jones is the vice supreme chancellor of the order, and is at the head of the Central Regalia Company. I certainly admire him and his work. I saw him preside a number of times. I got acquainted with many of them Sir Knights and Calanthes until I am almost tickled to death. I don't mind the $10, for I have put it into my expense sheet to be handed in to Editor Kennedy. I have charged it up—well, it will be expenses. I am getting acquainted with his subscribers. The Tampa Daily Tribune has had all kinds of flu and aches and pains recently, and is now foaming at the mouth because the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People has called a meeting in Cleveland next month. In an editorial it says, "That's the longest day in the year, but it's going to be all too short for them to repent thereafter some of the things they are allegedly going to attempt at that convention." The editor then tells of having received a poem from some colored person which he refused to print in his paper, and got a calling down over the phone, but now he takes pleasure in printing one verse, and perhaps you would like to read it, so here it is: "Many wrong will be righted America's name must not be blighted After the war: After the war; Lynching must receive a blow, Jimcrow cars will have to go, And give the Negro race a show, After the war." Then' the editor says, "We read the purpose of this association' in one of their notices sent out, to be 'to make America safe for Americans.'" Then he quotes the objects set forth. I am not going to say all I have in my mind to say about this thing this week, and you must pardon me if I should not do so, for I want to keep within the bounds of right and the bounds of an American citizen, and a good old Baptist preacher. I do not cuss, and you are not going to get me now. The Lord knows my heart is in the right place. They are going to have a big bank opening in Portsmouth or in Norfolk, Va., and I am going to be there, so if you want to send me a letter it will reach me at 1111 Glasgow street, Portsmouth, Va.

God bless you all. I notice that Emmett J. Scott has just skinned the cat with Dr. Dubois, and I am proud of it. You see the world had it a few months ago that good Dr. DuBois had fallen from grace, and had sold out the whole trace for a captaincy. Many things were said about him, and now in order to get into the hearts of the American people he seeks to destroy Dr. Robert R. Moten and Emmett J. Scott. These men have been right in the race, they do not seek in the least to unrace themselves. I have been in the home of Dr. Moten time and time again, and would be welcome there right now, to his best bed, and all that he has that is good to eat. Mr. Scott has not invited me to his home, because he was always busy when I was there, but if I should take it upon myself to go there I would be welcome. He has rendered a great service to our race. He stood by the boys in France, and put a good many things over. He has been the cause of our boys getting many good deals, but one man cannot do it all in one day. I wonder what Dr. DuBois would have done. I should like to have seen him in uniform, "Captain DuBois." I could not have handed him a red apple. J. O. MIDNIGHT.
