MATINEE AT THE MILO, SUNDAY, 2 P.M. FINE PICTURES. 10th & New Jersey KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. St. Louis, Mo—It is nice to have friends to remember when you have a birthday. It is better to think about it when you have contributed something to the material worth of your country and your people. All the people rejoice when a big man passes another year in the world. Some people will pay you for living so long by giving you presents, sending you cards, known as birthday cards, flowers and other tokens. Now you want to know what I am trying to get at this week, and I will have to tell you, of course, and will not hesitate to do so. I am in St. Louis and I got here just in time, to see the people surprise Mrs. Annie M. Malone on her blank birthday. I say blank, because I don't know when she was born for I was not there, but it was not yesterday, but a few days before. She decided to keep it a secret, but it is hard to keep secrets in this world. Before going to business for the day all the people employed in that wonderful Poro building assemble in the auditorium for prayer. They have song, scripture reading, prayer, and if any visitors, a few remarks, and then a march is played and they file out to business for the day. I got to town the day before, and had an invitation by the employes to come to chapel Saturday morning and the invitation was accepted by me, so at 8 oclock I filed in, followed by Prof. Aaron E. Malone, the president of Poro college, and right behind him was to be seen his wife, and Editor Nick Chiles of the Topeka Plaindealer. Miss Genevieve Huff, of Warensburg, Mo., conducted the devotionals for this occasion, and she was well up. She knew how to carry on this business as well as any preacher. Now when she had read the scripture, led in prayer, she made a few words on prayer, what it meant to others and especially to the race, then calle don one of the visiting ladies to make remarks. When she had spoken, the Miss-Bessie Keith, had a solo, "The Rose in the Bud." She had one more sweet musical voice. Then followed remarks by Editor Chiles and Charles Stewart. Just as they were about to close out Mrs. A. H. Steveley, who had been an employee for several years, asked permission to make just, a few remarks. She took up the strain of birthdays, and what those who had contributed something to the world meant to the world. She spoke of great men and women of the past, and then spoke of one of the greatest women of America, Mrs Anne M. Malone, who was the wonder of the age. She called for applause, and when it had ended, then this young woman presented a large bouquet of flowers to the woman who has done so much to change conditions, and who is giving so much work to our young women, making them independent and placing them above want. In this wonderful success is shared by her husband, Prof. Aaron E. Malone, an educator and scholar, and a friend to man. He is doing his part, and just as I write to you he is head over his heels in preparing for the National Negro Business League which will be over when you read this letter. Miss Etta Searcy, presided at the piano during the exercises this Saturday morning. There were many other expressions during the day. Secretary Jones, of the Y. M. C. A., gave a surprise dinner. The Pine Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. gave a surprise picnic. At each of these places flowers were presented, but the climax was at 6:30 in the evening at the house, when there was another rbig surprise presentation. I had never heard anything like it since I have been in the world, an Ampico, known as Babu Grand Knabe Piano. It reproduces the work of the artist. I don't know how to describe it, you will just have to come and see it for yourself and then you will know. I shall have to tell you about the improvements made in the great building, which is entirely too small for the business, and another wing will be added in a few days. I shall have something to say to you about it later. Another great man has been taken away from us. This time it is John Merrick, of Durham, N. C., founder and president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. This young hero spent time in preparing himself in the school room and while trying to find himself, accepted a barbershop which he carried on for a long time, but one day he discovered who he was and laid down the razor and other implements and rented a mall room for $4 a month and launched the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. All he could realize then was that he was going to have something. One clerk was employed and right by his side wa C. C. Spaulding and Dr. A. M. Moore. Wonderful has been the growth of the order. He made good in it, and now that they have the wealthiest company in the country operating in 11 states and the District of Columbia is wonderful. At the twentieth anniversary, he was there, and delivered a short talk, in which he said he cared absolutely nothing about himself, he wanted that the great work in which he had spent his life should continue, and with that assurance he was willing to pass onto his eternal rest. We stop to shed a tear with his widow and those left behind him. and then we shall take up and continue the good work which he desire dshoud live on. You may think I am the movingest man in the world. I have been doing some moving, and will continue to move from one point to another. I was walking around the streets of Richmond, Va., looking at the people. celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of our coming to America. Not coming but being brought there and I heard some real good speeches, and when I was through hearing them, then my attention was directed to other important things. I have been over here three hundred years from the jungles of Africa and see what wonderful progress I have made, causes me to clap my hands for joy. I left the city of Richmond and made it right on to Charlotte, where I spent a day, and then the next day was spent in Cincinati, where I touched hands with the great head of the Calanthes in America, and other parts of the world, General Joseph L. Jones. He is getting ready, and will be in his meeting next week in Atlantic City. I have been to many cities and have seen many people. When I left Richmond or Cincinnati I made it to Chicago and I am not prepared to talk about my impression of Chicago in this letter. People are looking upon me and my people, as problems and I suppose they are going to solve us but there is about to be a monkey and parrot time before it happens. I guess I will be solved after. while. Then I made it to Peoria to be in a Chatauqua. It was conducted by on eof the church, the Rev. Dr. Penick, promoter. Next found me in Springfield, Ill., and from there to St. Louis. Reaching here, I had sent word to Prof. A. E. Malene that I was coming and he was sitting in his horseless carriage awaiting my arrival and waiting to tote me out to his house. I was right there with both feet up. He received me with open arms and I was glad to be received. I had the pleasure of meeting that wonderful young preacher, Rev. William H. Peck, D.D., pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, which has taken the first place in town. He was born in Maryland, just when he was born and not before. He got his education, and entered the active ministry some years before. He has been a success as a pastor. He spent 7 years in Kansas City, and could have spent seven more if it had it not been for the law. He accomplished great things in Kansas KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, - FRIDAY AUGUST 15. 1919 WESTERN UNIVERSITY AND STATE INDUSTRIAL Quindaro The location is ideal,per overlooking the Missouri Ri from the electric car line lead STATE INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT Quindaro, Kansas The location is ideal,perfectly sanitary on the hills overlooking the Missouri River, and just three blocks from the electric car line leading to Kansas City.

He preached intelligently on "Jesus, the Christ." Pastor Holmes and others called it an excellent sermon. At 8 p. m., another large congregation came out to hear the Abyssianian Prince from Africa preach. His scripture lesson was Rev. 13th. His text was taken from John 4:24, "God is a Spirit and we that worship Him must worship Him in the Spirit and in truth." As the prince was educated at Oxford university, the finest college in the world, he is one of the smartest men in the United States He delivered the deepest theological sermon we have heard by colored or white. His theme was, "The spirituality of God." He said in part, that John wrote unlike the synoptic writers. Matthew wrote for the Jew, Luke, the Greek, but John confined himself to no particular nation, but showed the divine relation between God, Jesus and man. "We should get acquainted with God, have personal dealing with God and above all nations of 746 languages and 2800 dialects have a vague idea of a supreme being." God is omnipotent and omnipresent. Man is omniscient. He showed the anthropological side of man; i.e., the science of human organism. Also said man should be spiritua, mental and natural; but let all these three blend together in serbing God; truthfully." He knelt and prayer at the beginning and at the close of his sermon. Pastor Holmes le the beautiful song, "Jesus Pai It All." at the close and as others had rejoiced at the wonderful sermon he rejoiced and praised it for its spirituality, depth and wisdom. Next Sunday, August 17th, this wonderful apostle from Africa will preach again and Miss Butler, a wonderful gospel singer, will sing the gospel A 10-day campaign of reliigion will be started at the Temple. Everybody is invited and welcome. Mrs. Z. Nelson conducted the Bible quiz at the B. Y. P. U. this Sunday a good program will be rendered. The Sewing Circle meets at Mrs Monroe's, 917 Freeman. Excelsior club met at Rev. Royston's, 1105 Freeman. Some of the sick are Mr. John Lewis, J. H. Calhoun and Mr. Walter Payne. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

CHURCH NEWS The services were largely attended at both morning and evening. Dr. F. Jesse Peck, president of Western University, preached at the 11 o'clock service to an appreciative audience. The sermon was full of good, wholesome spiritual food, and many were made to rejoice from his forceful truths. The pastor, Dr. J. F. Griffin, delivered the message at 8 p. m., to an extra large audience for this service. His sermon was of that usual lifting up to his hearers. Several joine dthe church during the day. Rev. J. A. Simpson, just from Africa, gave a fine talk to the Sabbath school Sunday morning, which was very interesting. Members who did not pay in on rally day, are paying something each week, and some of them their full assessment, which is so nice of them besides the Christian spirit it shows. The class leaders are to see each one of their members and collect their dollar money. Do it now. Arrangements and committees are being made for the annual conference, which will convene here September 24th. "Old King Cole." The first reference to "Old King Cole," the "merry old soul" of the famous nursery rhyme, was made in a book written by Dr. William King, who was born in 1633. It is probable that the song was composed in the seventeenth century, although some investigators think it much older. Halliwell identifies the merry monarch with Cole or Coel, a semimythical king of Britain who is supposed to have reigned in the third century. The Scots also have an "Old King Coul," said to have lived in the fifth century. Freeman and other historians say a King Cole ruled Britain in the sixth century. There are many who assert that the reference to the pipe indicates that Old King Cole lived at a period after Raleigh had introduced tobacco into Europe, but this does not necessarily follow, as a pipe might mean a musical instrument. The Public reports the following tem from Montana: "To the 'Lady from Racalli' Maggie Smith Hathaway, Montana legislator, belongs the credit for having this year introduced into a legislature distinctly unfavorable to labor, and having pushed through to success, the first equal-pay law in the United States. In pushing her bill she placed on each state senator's desk literature carrying the following points: 'A woman who does the same amount of work as a man should have the same pay'; quality and quantity of work, not sex, should be the basis of compensation'; Low-paid woman labor compares unfairly with men's labor'; 'Women teachers in Montana earn for like work from $126 to $376 less than men.'"

RACE RIOTS. (From the Labor Bulletin, Kansas CRUX OF LABOR PROBLEM That the Union Card has a tendency to do away with the race riots such as has occurred in Washington and Chicago is shown by the following article from the Chicago News, in its news story about the riots which took place there this week and last. The Chicago News is by no means a labor paper; it is patterned after the unusual metropolitan paper, such as the four Kansas City, Mo, papers, the Star, the Times; the Post and the Journal; getting its advertising from members of the Chamber of Commerce, the Manufacturers' association and kindred bodies, and therefore is not inclined to favor Union Labor, or any other sort of labor, for that matter. Here is what the Chicago News says, among other things: "Most of the industries employing both white and colored labor were compelled to lay off their colored workmen, and in some cases this had the effect of closing the plants entirely. * * * "Flannelly Brothers, employing about 600 men, the races being about evenly divided. All the employees of the firm, which manufactures wagon and automobile bodies, are members of unions. The 'stewards' of the various unions called a meeting of all employes Monday morning, ignoring the managers of departments, and decided that all should continue at work; that no arguments in regard to riot conditions would be permitted in the factory, and that a request would be presented to the firm for the use of its motor trucks for the purpose of taking the men to and from work. This request was granted by the firm, and the men saw to it that the truck loads were about evenly divided among men of both colors. Two men, one white and one colored, were ordered from the shop by the union committee Monday afternoon for engaging in an argument regarding the riots. "So far Flannelly Brothers have operated to full capacity and have had no trouble on account of their men being attacked going to and from work, men of both races riding together preventing attacks by either faction." Inadvertently, the Chicago News gives away the prime cause for the race riots which have occurred with alarming frequency throughout the United States and Canada recently: Real estate holders, claiming their property interests were damaged by the influx of the colored race, have been the instigators. Employers who will not allow their men to organize have aided the others in inciting the riots. That there will never be a "race war" in Kansas City, Kansas, is conceded, and there are numberless reasons for that fact. More than 70 per cent of the workingmen of both races own their own homes, the Negroes having a slightly higher percentage than the whites. One home owner isn't going to shoot another just because of a difference in color, because they have too many interests in common. Of late there has been a large number of colored men and women of the city affiliating with the unions of their crafts, and unions draw no color line. One of the delegates from this city to the convention of the Musicians' Union, held in Dayton, Ohio, recently, was a colored man, and in his report of the convention, mentioned the fact that he was well treated there. The colored newspaper of the city, and one of the leading colored newspapers of the United States the Kansas City Advocate, has been printed under union conditions for many years. But thre are those who would force a race riot if possible. In many unorganized industries since race rioting began, it has been the practice to segregate the men of different colors and stage "races" in work. This leads, eventually, to a bad feeling among the men of the different races. This is being done at present at some of the car barns and can lead to nothing but trouble. There is a place for every workman, white or black in a union and the sooner they become members, the sooner will all fear of "race rioting" cease. The Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America are making a special effort now to enroll every colored worker in the packing plants under its banner. The Rev. Dr. Ransom, of Wichita, one of the leading divines of the state, and mentioned as a candidate for bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church, will be in Kansas City to aid in the campaign for new members among the colored workers in the packing industry. It is for the benefit of, his race and to prevent race trouble that Dr. Ransom is thus aiding the unions. Where labor is organized there is little fear of trouble of any port, least of all; racial trouble. Necessity of Employers and Employees Alike to Realize Possibility of of Danger Ahead. By NATHAN A. SMYTH. (Assistant Director General, U. S. Employment Service.) The great danger in the coming four months' is that there won't be enough jobs to go around; that unemployment will come with attendant misery and social unrest at a time when anarchistic tendencies are contagious. The remedy of building public works is not available on a large scale until spring. The farms will not call urgently for men until frost thaws out. Building cannot for a season be resumed to any great extent. Chiefly must we look to our manufacturers to carry the burden. But they are hesitant. Taxes are not yet determined. The cost of money is high and credit timid for a while. To meet each of these deterrent features is an immediate national task. Consideration of patriotism—which must not flare out with the end of the war—should urge the manufacturer to get his wheels moving with the utmost speed. The laborer must realize the uncertainties which cause the employer to hesitate. Each must refrain from taking advantage of the other. New Safety Standards. Under the auspices of the United States Employers' Compensation commission a survey by the American Museum of Safety and other well-known experts in various parts of the country, has resulted in the appointment of some twenty safety engineers at various government arsenals, navy yards and depots. One of the most significant pieces of work undertaken by the safety engineers has been the creation of a set of federal safety standards, soon to be published by the United States bureau of standards. They consist of a compilation from various sources and will tend, he believes, toward a unification of safety standards, a step now greatly needed in this country. A preliminary publication of them is being made in monthly instalments in the publication of the American Museum of Safety. The result of the government's safety plans is shown by the fact that under the present conditions the accident rate is 4.1 for 1,000 workers, an average comparable with the results in industry generally. Women Labor Unionists. The rapid spread of labor unionism among women workers in Great Britain has been one of the most remarkable factors in industry during the war period. Addressing the conference of the National Federation of Women Workers which has been holding its biennial business meetings at Manchester, Miss Gertrude Tuckwell, its president and a niece of the late Lady Dieke, who was a leading pioneer of the industrial organization of the women workers, made the interesting announcement that, as against 350,000 organized women in industry before the war, there are today over 700,000 women trade unionists. Miss Tuckwell claimed that this organization of women workers of the country was the best antidote to sex antagonism, inasmuch as trained and organized women could not be exploited and used against men. PLANT DESERVING OF PRAISE Witch Hazel Has Many Qualities Which Entitle It to Commendation—Valuable in Medicine. In an article "On Nature's Trail" in Boys' Life, Dr. Edward S. Bigelow writes of the last flower of the season, the witch hazel, as follows: "If we should look at the witch hazel as the last flower of the season, to it we would award the booby prize. But if we consider it in connection with its braving of the cold weather in an effort to beautify the woods, we would give it the first prize. No other flower of the year so bravely withstands the cold weather. It begins to bloom in November or even a little earlier, and clings persistently to its twigs until the first of January or even later, sprinkling the shades of the woods with its feathery, dainty golden bloom. It is said also that it has valuable medicinal qualities. It now is one of the ingredients of various well-known extracts of witch hazel. There is also a curious old-time superstition in regard to its uncanny ability as a divining rod. It is said to be able to point out underground deposits of water and of precious ores. That myth probably originated from a misunderstanding or a misconstruing of its name. This is not primarily witch but wych, which had some relation to a salt spring or dalry house, and was sometimes spelled wick." Cannot Join Federation. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen cannot affiliate with the American Federation of Labor, according to a statement by D. B. Robertson of Youngstown, Ohio, vice president of the brotherhood. "The American Federation of Labor," said Mr. Robertson, "is so framed constitutionally that it can give representation to only one of each of organized labor's branches. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers already is a member and represents the engineers.'
