P.S HOLD GRAND SESSION IN TOPEKA The Knights of Pythias and Grand Court of Kansas will hold their annual session next week at the Capital City, opening Tuesday morning for a three days' session. Great preparations have been made by the local committee for the reception of these two bodies. Dr. S. H. Thompson of this city, is the Grand Chancellor and has brought the order up in this jurisdiction to a very high standard, anl without any doubt will be re-elected by acclamation. Mrs. Norene Davis, also from here, is serving out her first term, as Worthy Grand Councillor of the DR. S. H. THOMPSON Grand Chancellor of Sunflower Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, who will preside over its annual session next week at Topeka. Court of Calanthe, whose record is unparelleled in the history of the Grand Court. Her re-election is assured. Owing to war conditions last year's session was not held, which was thought to be a very wise step in the Grand Chancellor, as the expense of holling it, this money could be used judiciously in helping our boys in the trenches. The Uniform department will be represented at this session, the bouquet of the order, which will add much to the display Thursday, parade day. The Lynching Record for the Last Six Months, 1919. Tuskegee, Ala, July 10. I send you the following information concerning lynchings for the first six months of this year. I find according to the records kept by the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, Monroe N. Work in charge, that there have been in the first six months of 1919, 28 lynchings. This is seven less than the number 35, for the first six months of 1918, and 14 more than the number 14, for the first six months of 1917. Of those lynched 25 were Negroes and 3 were white. Seven of those put to death were charged with the crime of rape. One woman is reported to have been lynched. The states in which ynchings occurred and the number for each state are as follows: Alabama, 2; Arkansas, 4; Florida, 2; Georgia, 3; Louisiana, 4; Mississippi, 7; Missouri, 1; North Carolina, 2; South Carolina, 1; Texas, 1.

Browne, Pastor VOLUME FIVE. DR. S. H. THOMPSON LYNCHING RECORD. IN CHICAGO J. O. SAW THE SHIMMEE AND PUPPY'S TAIL Raleigh, N. C.—Did you ever belong to the downs and outs? If you never did, then you are not in position to extend to Col. James H. Young full sympathy, and you will never understand why it is at this late date that he should become the toter of news to he white folks, and be calked by some of the people in this section of the country "white folks 'nigger,'" whatever that is. I don't like to think of a man being called that and I don't like the word. I never like to use it or to see it used, but in order that you may, know just what some of the folks are saying about a man who but yesterday was a star of the first magnitude and now belongs to the lightning bug gang and hardly that. Of course he has my sympathy, although he is guilty of a small act. To small to mention, yet I must say that he has a right to do it if he desired, and make good with the white folks, who will not respect him any longer than they can use him. Don't think I am in a prayer meeting frame of mind, and while I may be able to say just what I have witnessed, I will be praying, hence will not let any of the rubber damns used by the dentist slip out. A man of our race preached in one of the churches here. The people were pleased with it. Then after the sermon he took occasion to commend the people for using their ballot, nad for putting out a whole ticket. He spoke about the importance of the ballot, and so impressed was he with that litte piece of paper that he urged every man to get it. Now you want to know where Col. Young got on. Well, he just in a few days rushed to tell the white folks about it, by accusing the man who spoke out for his people of trying to stir up race strife, and declared that the preacher had reflected on the school board. Shame on him! Just as long as the white man is sitting on my head, I am a good fellow, but if I should wiggle a little bit trying to get up, then it is that I must be called a strife breeder. Now, dear readers, don't abuse Col. Young, but just pray for him. You can trust a case like this to God, and He will do what is right. I am trusting Him with all I have. Col. Young has heard the bells, but he don't want to fully step down and out, but the army of progressive Christian young men and women of both races are coming to the front, and you must step out of the way or be crushed into powder of some kind. I drop a flower on your open grave "Dear Loving Colonel Young" and God will do the reht. Live long and die only when God declares that you should come up or go down to enjoy the fruits of young labor when used in the wrong direction. If you will see where I was when I wrote to you last week and just measure the distance, and especially from Denver, Colorado, to this point and then you will say, "He is going some." For I made it from Denver to Chicago, and spent a few days getting around there. I had a fine letter from Dr. J. C. Caldwell, who said that he was reading after me, and knew all I had to say from time to time and would recite some of it. I take this method to thank him and to say that I am glad glad that he is such a reader. Believe me, when he is made Bishop in 1920 you will find another man of methods, a man who will make some place for his people. He is not sitting around KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1919.

S., and D. of J., held their Twenty-fourth annual sermon last Sunday afternoon at Bethel A. M. E. church, corner of Water street and Stewart avenue.

Robinson and his officers of the Missouri side and their excellent drill team of ladies, besides many members and grand officers. The sermon was delivered by the Evangelist, Rev. Mrs. Mary E.

Mrs. America James-Steele departed this life Friday, July 11th, and her funeral service, swere held from King Solomon Baptist church, Sunday, July 13th, Rev. J. R. Richardson officiating. She accepted Christ and joined the church at Quincy, Illinois, a number of years ago, and came here to Kansas City, Kansas, in 1902, and joined King Solomon church, and remained a consistent Christian until her death. She was a complete invalid the last four years of her life, but was given the Sacrament, and always had something to tell about the blessings of God to visitors. She told her son-in-law that "she was going home to rest." Before she was disabled, she was at the church every time the door was opened. She was the mother of 11 children, seven boys and four girls, of whom Mrs. Ella Franklin, at 621 New Jersey avenue, is the youngest. At 2 p. m., July 11th, God sent an angel to summon this dear old mother, who had reached a ripe old age, and she died as she had lived "in the full triumph of faith" leaving her loving and faithful daughter, and her husband, Mr. Isham Franklin, and four living children, other relatives and a host of friends, who regret her demise. A large number of friends attended the funeral, and gave many beautiful floral offerings to the bereaved family. The Advocate and its staff extend sympathy to this loving family, and exhort them to follow in this Christian mother's footsteps and meet her in Heaven. UNIFORM K. OF P. ENTERTAINMENT. The two Uniform Companies, MidWest No. 2 and Stringer No. 11, will give an entertainment this (Friday) night, July 18th, at M. & O. Hall.

Dear Sir: I am enclosing you a clipping of an article that appeared in the Paris edition of the Chicago Tribune. The clipping speaks for itself, It also goes to show the prejudice that some folks are trying to create here in France. I am also sending you a copy of the reply that I madd to the article: To the Editor of The Tribune: In the article by Mr. Holland in your paper of the 20th inst., I find that he makes the first mistake in a series of misstatements by saying that the Negroes outnumber the whites in the South almost two to one. The fact of the matter is that the whites outnumber the Negroes in the South almost three to one. I have traveled extensively in the South, in Georgia, Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Virginia. I found peculiar conditions down there. I found that the white man avoided the Negroes in the daytime but ran after the women at night. In Savannah, Georgia; Key West, Florida; Houston and Dallas, Texas; Charleston, South Carolina, and Norfolk, Virginia, I found that bad white men and bad colored men ran, in violation of law and decency, houses of ill repute, all the inmates of which were bad colored women. No Negroes were allowed to frequent these houses. They were frequented by the white gentry of the South. Strange as it may seem these houses all had police protection In Norfolk, Virginia, where I lived for more than a year, I organized a monster mass meeting to protest against all those houses in general and against the ones with a write patronage in particular. We were able to close the strictly Negro houses, but not the ones with a white patronage. I wonder why. Mr. Holland and his type claim that the white man of the South is a superior being—on the order of the German superman—Certainly there are many points of resemblance between the superior Southern white man, engaged in his favorite pastime of burning a Negro, and the Huns as we saw them in Belgium and Northern France. If the white Southerner is really superior, why does he fear to meet the Negro on anything like equal terms? You Southerners fear Negro domination and hold that up as a bogey to the men of the North whenever you are brought before the bar of public opinion. You talk of a pure blood strain, as did Col. Jno. M. Parker of New Orleans, and yet I fear that if the best men of the South do not stop bad white men from raisinig families by bad colored women that that domination will come in another century and that pure blood strain will cease to NUMBER 50. KNIGHTS OF PY THIAS TO BE HERE NEXT WEEK Topeka, Kans., July 17. The stage is set for the coming of the Sunflower Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and the Grand Court, Order of Calanthe, both of which will convene in this city in a three-days' session, commencing July 22, Tuesday of next week. Chairman B. Pope, of the committee on homes and location, reports that ample accommodation will be furnished all who may attend this big meeting of these two great orders. Arrangements have been made to hold the business sessions in the state house. The Grand Lodge convening in Representative Hall, and the Grand Court in the Supreme Court Room. There will be a public meeting on Tuesday night in Representative Hall, at which time and place Mayor H. J. Corwine will deliver the address of welcome, on behalf of the city, and Dr. J. Lewis Ransom, and Miss Mattie Perkins, will deliver a welcome address on behalf of the lodge and court, respectively. These addresses will all be responded to by able speakers from out of town. The Knights of Pythias band will furnish music for the occasion, and Mrs. J. M. Wright will sing. At the close of this meeting, an informal reception will be held and cordial greetings and fraternal courtesies extended. On Wednesday night, July 23rd, an entertainment will be given at Metropolitan hall, 406 Kansas avenue, and to which the public is invited. According to plans, a street parade will be made on Thursday afternoon, led by the military ranks, and an outing in a park. On Thursday night, at the city auditorium, Seventh and Quincy streets, the Uniform Rank of the order will give an exhibition or contest drill, which will be followed by the customary military "hop," which will be under the management of the military ranks and their assistants. It is also planned that a public installation may take place on this evening, and at this same place. The people of Topeka are looking forward to this meeting with no little concern. Never in the history of th e order has it met under conditions such as those with which the world is now confronted, and which conditions we are all called upon to meet. Whether it be in or out of the order, the time is now and the conditions are such, that no great body, such as ours, can afford to meet and adjourn, without in some way, contributing its part toward the solution of the great questions, which the American people are called upon to settle, together with other nations of the world.

Let every individual join and Help. 1. To abolish legal injustice against Negroes. 2. To stamp out race discriminations. 3. To prevent lynchings, burnings, and torturings of black people. 4. To secure to every citizen of color, the common rights of American citizenship. President Wilson declare for woman suffrage as a war measure. Black men are not allowed to vote in many of the states of the Union, despite the Fifteenth Amendment. 5. To compel equal accommodations in railroad travel, irrespective of color. 6. To secure for colored children an equal opportunity to public school education through a fair apportionment of public education funds. Unless the colored child can be educated he is at a fearful disadvantage. An uneducated Negro poulation menaces national well-being. This education should be of hand and brain and can be adequately done for all Negro children, not the fortunate few, only by public schools. 7. To emancipate in fact, as well as in name, a race of nearly 12,000,-000 American born citizens. The only means we can employ are education, organization, agitation, publicity—the force of an enlightened public opinion. The work is supported entirely by voluntary contributions and memberships.

Even now, in every part of the South, there are thousands of men and women who “pass for white?’ whose mothers were quad- roons and octoroons. Shame,on the ‘superior White being who not alows, ‘but often forces” these conditions to exist. As to education, Brother Holland, let us take the city of Charleston, South Carolina, as @ typical South- ern city The Negroes form 52 per cent of the population, of whom 40 per cent are tax payers. $1.93 per-capita per annum is spent on the Negro schools. $19.50 per capita pe rannum is spent on the white schools. The 2,500 white children have five commodious graded school buildings, a military academy for boys and a normal school for girls. The 2,600 Negroes have two small graded schools and a very small in- dustrial school. My place and the place of my peo- ple, Mr. Holland, is beside you and your people, not fighting one anoth- er, but fighting to keep A'merica what the men of America have made it—a land of joy and oppurtanity ‘fer all, and t: nelp hold bak the | Bolsheviki (white) and the I W. W.s (all white) who would make Amer- ica as they have made Russia, a hid- eous nightmare, wherein men, wo- men and children long for the return of kings. Any man who aims to ereate strike between the races at this time is worse than a Bolshevik. Let’s be one hundred per cent American. ‘ In the words of Kipling-I close: “If blood be the price of liberty, If blood be the price of liberty, I say if blood be the price of liberty Great God we have paid it in full.” Yours truly, ‘CONSIDEE B. JENKINS, Co. G, 808rd Inf., Brest, France. The Herald Clipping: Franchise for Negro Folly in the South—To the Editor: In reply to: Mr. Dobb on the subject of Negro Education in the South, let me say that it is evident from Mr. Dobb’s article that he has never lived in the South and consequently does not know of what he writes. As a na- tive of the South, I realize the folly of Negro enfranchisement. Do you realize that the Negro population in the South is almost two to one. That being the case what would the re- sults be at our elections? In the first place, they would have all the power in the South and could nominate one of their own race and elect him to office with overwhelin- ing mujority. Do you realize, that they have colored policemen both in Jacksonvi'le and Tallah«ssee, Fla. I do not object to the education of the Negro so long as they are taught in their own schools and not along with white children. They may suit the ‘people in New York and Penn- sylvania and Ohio, but not in the South. The Negro has done his part over here, I will admit, and he is all tight so long as he is kept in h's piace and the people of the South with the overwhelming majority of colored vote against them know how to de it.

SAW THE SHIMMEE AND PUPPY’S TAIL (Continued from Page One) —~ self, family and other members of the Kentucky family. . I don’t Know why I spoke ‘of Ken- tucky, unless it is a state to do something. They belong the clubs and said an encouraging. It is 0 state which furnished Dr. Caldwell, his wife, and while he has not pas- tored there, he is now in Nashville, in charge of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, and it is not long be- fore he will be consecrated a Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal church, and he has won it. The time is now that merit and ability will be.put side by side and wear of the jewels. Then there will come in Dr. W. Sampson Brooos, for he has both of the things I have just named. Brooks has done things. He ha swon his place. He should go up. I‘had the pleasure of looking around in Chicago after getting there from Denver as I told you in that last letter before this last one and I saw many things to inspire me. I met people from down home and from up home, too Chicago is made up of all sorts. Dr. L. K. Williams is @ most remarkable man and he would make a good successor to Dr. E. C, Morris, when he decides to re- tire as president of the National Baptist convention, Speaking of the National Baptis tconvention, all eyes are now turned to Nashville, where ‘an important question is to be passed upon by the court. It in- volves much and will mean much when once decided. I am not going to tell you all, But I spent a fine time in Chicago meeitng friends and people there. I met some of the moguls of the city, but did not get to see the mayor, but I will meet him when I go back there. Them Chicago people are some dancers. I had the pleasure of see- ing them get off the puppy’s tail, walk the dog, do the shimmee and bauldin the jack, and so many other things that time will not permit me to name, I called to see Dr. J. F. Thomas, and it looked that some one had been trying to put the rolers under him, but that can never be done. He ‘is a great preacher, and a man who deserves encouragement and the support of the people. He is a great theologian, and one of the best oreachers in the country. You know I am one of them, and \now whereof I speak. I made it to Danville, from Chicago, to attend the Wood River Baptist Sunday School zonvention and it was a great meet- ing and resulted in much good be- ‘ng accomplished for us all. The boys are coming home, nad many of them full of experience and manhood. We are not going to buck ngainst any people, for we have won that and will not have to buck for it. The night becomes very dark just before the dawn of day. I can soe a real new day just over the hill for us. But that was a great ortvention in Danville, Ill, and I was there to see it for myself. You will say that I have been go- ing some, and I don’t blame you. In my other letter I told you about that automobile ride for 75 miles and back, to Denver, then to Chicago, and from Chicago to Danville, Ill. and from there to Indianapolis, Ind. then to Louisville, Ky., Frankfort Ky., Richmond, Va., and you seg where T am now, and before you car even get this letter I wil be away from here, headed for Charlotte, N. C., to see them Knights. I will tel you about them when I write again They are interesting people, and you will agree with some of the things 1 shall say. Louisville, Ky., is a real city anc is doing real work. I met a few of the leading people in the town I haq the pleasure of meeting Edito; R. S. Abbott, of the Chicago De fender, ang he carried, me out in his fine automobile, and made me fee like shouting out in church.
