ANDERSON Our risirg and popular young lawyer announces that he will be a candidate for representative to the state assembly from the Eighth District in 1929 on the Republican ticket. It is thought that his chances are fine, as this is the first presidential election after the great war and the colored race is entitled to some concessions in exchange for their valuable services on the battlefields and at home. Mr. Anderson, being both a business and professional man of recognized ability, is eminently fitted for the place, and should make a logical candidate. He will take as his platform 'equal rights for all humanity." Mrs. Trent entertained at their home last Wednesday at 3 o'clock dinner in honor of her guest, Mrs. Morton, of Atchison, and Mrs. Jacobs, of Jefferson City Mo. Table laid for six.

Subject, Christian Education. This being the quadrennial, many of the general officers will be present, so the entire week will be full of brainy men as well as women, who will have many cheering words to say during the sessions. The pastor of the local church, Dr. J. F. Griffin, who has taken first place in the Fifth Episcopal district as a financier, expects to entertain this conference, in that same proportion as he has done other things at First A. M E. There will be two meals served each day at the church, lunch and dinner. Every convenience will be installed for the honored guests while here, and the homes which they stop will be places of comfort and rest. ALLEN CHAPEL BURNS MORTGAGE. Allen. Chapel A. M.

Reaching here, I went to my regular assignment for stopping place. It was in the district of Jews—in fact it was on a regular Jew street, and the Jews all lived around me and had their places of business, and a Jew lived on the same place where I had to stop. I had no objection to this, but I did object to the company I had at night. I not only pay for my room, but I had to feed about 10,000 bedbugs, all ages and sizes. (Continued on Fourth Page) 19 10 M.

J.—When I wrote you last I was just getting around, and now I am through this getting around business, and am now turning my attention to where I am, for I will soon be away from here and before you can say "scat," I will be in Kansas City, helping to plan for the election of some of the bishops of the next generation of the African Methodist Episcopal church and if you will only trust and believe me I am here to tell you that there is going to be some election, and I think Rev. J. R. Ransom will be in line, and perhaps there will be others. Put it down that Dr. J. C. Caldwell, will be one of the bishops of the church, as well as W. Sampson Brooks, A. J. Carey, D.D., and others, but some are to get left. Who will it be? I am not prepared to say at this writing. I have been way down in Virginia looking around, and when I got through with R. E.

FOR PRINTING T NEW COUNTY TREASURER APPOINTS COLOR AS OFFICE New County Officer Keeps PL League Without H The new county treasurer, Samuel Stewart, who was elected last fall on the Republican ticket, and will take charge of the office the first of October, has lived up to his promise as to the appointment of a colored person in his office. Miss Gracie Howard, 108 Greeley avenue, was his choice. The Civic League of the city recommended several from which to select. Mr. Stewart made his pledge to this civic organization early in the campaign and this appointment has proven to the 10,000 colored voters of the county that all candidates who run for office and elected are not liars. But the Civic League with these 10,000 voters cannot say the same for some others, who made the same pledge and were successful in going back into office for the second to a double quartet of times, as what can be said of Mr. Stewart, as they have been in their offices for a year and are still red in the face with dilated pupils. We want to congratulate Mr Stewart on his 100% Americanism. SWEET LITTLE LIFE GOES TO FATHER Lucile, the little 14-year-old daughter of Rev. and Mrs. E. H. Adams, of Oskaloosa, who was brought here for treatment, passed away in the full triumph of the Lord and was buried from the First A. M. E church Tuesday, Sept. 9th. Rev. Washington, of Bethel Mission, assisted by Dr. Griffin, officiated. Lucile had lived a sweet Christian life, and was always doing something to make others happy. She will ever live in the hearts of her playmates for the kind words and Christian influence exhibited. The family have the sincere sympathy, including The Advocate, in their sad bereavement. CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum will reconvene this Sunday, Sept. 21st, at 4 p.m., at the Metropolitan Temple. Educational Day will be observed, and Superintendent Pearson, Prof. Hodge, Rev.

The new appointee, Miss Howard, is the daughter of Mrs. Ella Howard, a widow, her husband dying several years ago. Miss Howard finished from Sumner High school in the class of 1918, commercial department, and took a post-graduate course and finished from Western University, May, 1919, and for several months had charge of the shorthand department. She will be the official stenographer of the office, and while there were only two or three considered for this position, as to their efficiency, we learn there was as many as 50 applicants for other positions in this office, so this speaks well for Miss Howard. There is now only three offices in the court house not being represented by a colored American, the county clerk's office, register of deeds, and the clerk's office of the district court. All were elected on the Republican ticket. All hail to the Civic League! OUR DISTINGUISHED FELLOW- CITIZEN. Dr. R. A. Adams, whom the Kokomo Daily Dispatch calls the "Premier Negro evangelist and the equal of any," left Monday night for Indianapolis, Ind. Dr Adams will attend the session of the Indiana annual conference of the A. M. E. church, where he will assist Bishop Coppin in his personal work, look after the newspaper work of the conference and, will conduct evangelistic services for the benefit of the ministers and people, by special invitation of Bishop L. J. Coppin. Dr. Adams also will attend conferences in Chicago, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, being associated with Bishop J. H. Jones, in the last named states. At all of these conferences he will push the fight against venereal diseases; will deliver his celebrated address on syphilis; the great black plague and secure agents to distribute this important publication. METROPOLITAN CIRCLE. The Sewing Circle had a fine meeting at Mrs. Richardsons' on Freeman avenue. Mrs. L. Stovall presided and her business secretary, Mrs. Calhoun, called the roll. Mrs. M. C. Matthews, a visiting ex-president, made the principal talk. The hostess, who is intelligent and amiable, served excellent peach blancmange, and marmalade with delicious gold and silver cake.

The home is the foundation of civilization. The home distinguishes man from the brute creation. The home is a mark of culture and refinement. The home is God's heaven on earth. It is the place of joy, happiness, comfort and natural sorrow. It is the place where two individuals endeavor with all earnestness to live in peace and harmony. They agree to leave all others and live with each other until death parts them. Woe unto that man or woman who takes death's part. There is too much domestic unrest. There is too much outside intereference. Meddlers are abroad. They sow discord. They cause broken hearts. They create orphan children and thereby add an unnecessary burden to society's already burdened shoulders. Such people cease to be human and have reverted to characteristics of brutes seeking whom they may destroy. Having separated man and wife they gloat over their success. They do not want the wife. They do not want the husband. As soon as their beastial nature is gratified they fling them among the dregs of humanity and go on their search for fresh victims. They are worse than the "flu." The "flu" mercifully takes the whole family out of the world. They, these human vamnires, scatter the whole family in the world. How many baby fingers can point accusingly at the human vultures who have deprived them of a fair chance in life. These lines are written that those who thoughtlessly or intentionally intrude themselves between husband and wife or wife and husband may see the accursed error of their course. Stop! Look! At the homes you have broken. Listen! To the wail of sorrow you have caused. Go home! If you have one. Go to the desert if you have none. Let the homes of others alone. Mr. and Mrs J. W Thurston of Fuscumbia, Ala., visited Mr. and Mrs. G. A. White, 329 Franklin avenue, the past week. Mr. Thurston is a schol teacher in his home city and a cousin of Mrs White. They were pleasant callers at the editor's home Friday and will have The Advocate coming to their home hereafter.

CHURCH NEWS Sunday was a large day, it being the Fourth and last Quarterly meeting of this conference year. The Sabbath school at 9:30 was largely attended and at the 11 oclock preaching service the large auditorium was filled to its capacity, and the gallery, which seats nearly as many, was comfortably seated. Rev. J. T. Smith, the very hardworking and popular superintendent of the Kansas City district, had charge and delivered a scholarly and soul-stirring sermon. Dr. Smith is a great preacher, as well as a great presiding elder, and has but few equals in the A. M. E. connection, when it comes to managing men. He has been over the Kansas City district five years and through his Christian efforts and business methods has brought this district to the top. It was the unanimous consent of First A. M. E. church and we understand all others in the district are praying that in some way he may be returned to it again. At 3 p. m., another large assembly gathered for the communion service. Dr. Sage of the Missouri side delivering the sermon, which was an eloquent one. About five hundred taking the sacrament. A number of visiting ministers being present. Presiding Elder J. T. Smith filled the pulpit at the evening service, the auditorium being nearly as full as the morning service. Many joined the church during the day. The choir rendered excellent music at all of these services of which lifted up the souls of men. Monday evening the Fourth Quarterly conference was held, which proved to be far beyond any that has ever been in the known history of this church. The financial departments of the church outdone themselves and no one was any happier than the pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, and great halleluahs went up when each unit of the church made their report. The stewards alone reporting for the quarterly meeting, $221. This Sunday will close this conference year, the annual conference setting in this church Wednesday, Sept. 24th, with that matchless churchman, Rt. Rev. H. Blanton Parks, presiding. A man who has developed this great Western country in African Methodism beyond the conception of man. A scholar, theologian, financier, a Christian gentleman and a man unexcelled when it comes to handling men. The church and people are making great preparations for the entertainment of the conference and the hundreds of visitors who will be present during its sessions. Sunday will be another extra big day, it being the last Sunday before conference. There is one thing the membership of this church feel at ease about and that is there will be several more annual conferences before they will hear a farewell sermon in First A. M. E. A large number of visitors were in attendance at all the services Sunday, and they found a spirit of welcome, with plenty of sincere smiles. Come again.

ADAMS STENOGRAPHER AND TYPIST RATES REASONABLE SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Bell West 2314 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES It. was a lovely September Sabbath, and many said "Come and let us go unto the house of the Lord," and that caused a large crowd to be present at the Temple.. Pastor Holmes, arrayed in black, with a clergical coat on, looked devout and humble as he preached an impressive sermon. Some heard the word and united with the church, among them were young men from France. At 7 p. m., the B. Y. P. U. were entertained by a program from the Sunday school. At 8 p. m., after an appropriate organ voluntary and missionary offering, Deacon L. Oliver gave a fervent invocation. Through the efforts of the publicity committee and others, the night audiences are beginning to be larger than the large morning audiences. Pastor Holmes took his text from Titus 2:14, "Christ gave himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquities and purify unto Himself a peculiar people." Theme—A Peculiar People. In part he said: "If we are true followers of Christ we must not do the same things that sinners do. We must do what is right and with prayer the Holy Ghost will control us. We must love our enemies, and if we get offended we must not let the sun go down on our sorrow. He that says he loves God, whom he has not seen and hates his brothers, who he has seen, is (according to the Bible), a liar and the truth is not in him." "Twas another of his masterly sermons and the Christians sanctioned him with amens, rejoicing, and shouting He also said, "If we live right we do not need to have beads and crosses, etc.; but we know He does not object to them, as it is by the sign of the Cross we conquer; also He has worn a cross. But He means, do not simply wear a cross to try to cover up your sins. True Christians love these plain truthful Gospel sermons." At the close of the sermon, Mrs. Bills, who the publicity committee has been inviting so long, united with the church and others, and 22 were fellowshipped into the fold. The basement floor is about completed. The lavatories are the largest of our people in the city. Mrs. H. Miller led-in securing roller towels. The dining room and kitchen and Sunday school room will be finished a little later. Come visit and join our church if you wish. More special Gospel sermons Sunday, Sept. 21. Come. "Do you know" we are inviting you especially, sinner? "Do you know" we want backsliders and Christian from other cities to join with us and follow Christ?

Eighteen hundred clothing workers in 150 contract-shops in different parts of the city of Baltimore went on strike. The Co-operative Wholesale society of Manchester, England, has decided that its employees, numbering 30,000, should join trades unions. Minimum wage scales affecting 12 industries employing approximately 400 women have recently been fixed by the Manitoba (Canada) minimum wage board. At the meeting of the Wisconsin Federation of Labor a resolution was passed against home guards, on the ground that the troops are used in case of strikes. Washington hotel employees are contending for the eight-hour day. Union leaders declared that the time is auspicious for the establishment of that standard of hours in all crafts. The proposed international demonstrative strike was not fully effective anywhere in France. At Brest only dock workers went on strike. Miners in the department of Gard also stopped work. Wage Increases to $5.25 a day, which was the scale paid before a cut in pay last winter, were announced by metal mines of the Coeur d'Alene district. The new scale will be effective from July 16, the last pay day. Hammond's (Ind.) largest industry, the Standard Steel Car plant, which during war times employed 5,000 men in its freight car and ordnance departments, was made idle following a walk-out of practically all employees.

Every fellow who could get traveling expenses came and brought his whole family, and expected to live on me for a week without paying board. The first night they disturbed my slumber, I decided to feed them and let them return to their resting place, but when they came the next night I just got my sword and shield and made a charge. I charged again and again, and it seems when peace had been declared there were scattered around about nine thousand, lying in their own blood. am sorry that one thousand escaped without being hurt, and now I am ready for the next fight. I am sure you will want to know something about the Baptists, and what they are doing and how they are getting along. It has been the greatest session in the history of the organization, and has been far-reaching in influence. No longer is there a question in the minds of the people as to the real National Baptist convention, and this thing about Boyd or his crowd winning-a law suit is all-bosh, and will not bear washing. It has been used to mislead the people, but it must now take its place, and the truth must RAGE FOUR Bell Phone West 416 J.-S. Newman, Manager Kansas City, Kansas Open Day and Night get a hearing. The convention opened Wednesday morning, and I was there with that multitude of people to see it open and in some way contribute my mite if I had any worth contributing to the cause. Well, I was there and heard them' open with song and prayer, and as I had just got down on my knees and had a few words to say myself to God. Now, after the opening they had welcome addresses I felt that I was welcome, but them men had to go through the form of telling me so, and they did. Dr. J. C. Love presided, and when he had said his say, he introduced the governor, and I am here to tell you that that white man made a snatching good speech I listened to all he ha dto say, and heard the mayor of the city and many others, and the next thing I was on my way to see what was going on in New York, but believe me I came right back to the convention. I had to shake hands with some of my old friends. I first shook hands with the Rev. Dr. Bowren, and believe me that man has got one more protruding front. I think it is utterly impossible for him to stand up and look down on his own feet. He is the leader of the Kansas Baptists, and they tell me that the church of which he is pastor, the First Baptist church, of Kansas City, Kansas, is putting up one more big church, and it is going to be something they call modern. I don't know what the word means and in order to keep from exposing my ignorance I am going to wait until I see it and then I will know what modern is. It will cost not less than $50,000 and that is going some. DROP PROFIT-SHARING Willys-Overland Company Give Just Strike" as Reason for Riding Its Continuance. The Willys-Overland company abandoned its profit-sharing plan its employees for the quarter Dr. Bowren is walking around up here in New Jersey just like he is in Kansas City, and then he is a much sought man. That fellow is some pumpkins. I must mention here Rev. George McNeal, one more preaching and praying baby. He is in the swim here, and while he is not having much to say, he is looking on and swaying wod, drinking in new information for his people. Tell the Mt. Zion people that their pastor, Rev. Moses Williams, is jumping around, making friends and when he gets back he will take a whole day to tell them abount this wonderful convention and this section of the country. He is up here seeing for his people and is proud that they were about to send him to do their seeing. I would also tell you of another preacher from preachers ward, Rev. J. W. Clay, of the King Solomon Baptist church. You can see his long tail coat coming swinging down the line, but to look at him you are impressed by his broad information and ability to tell sinners to run from fire. I will tell you it is an awful thing to have to burn on and on forever. Now they have had thousands of people here. The first thing in the afternoon to claim the attention of the convention after all them welcomes was the address of President E C. Morris, of Helena, and believe me when I tell you he was without a protest, but in a whoop and love elected president for another year. He has been on this job for 26 years, and it seems that he is here and here to stay. I bid him welcome and have no objection to do this. It is a great thing to come in touch with a man like this. He lives in the hearts of his people. I know there are some who would say away with him, and send him to the hot summer clime, but the people of the National Baptist convention will never suffer it to be so without a protest from them. There was the secretary. I don't see to save my life how we Baptist ever got to the place where we could give a big job like this to the laymen, but Prof. R B. Hudson, has held it for a long time, and before he had it, Prof. W. L. Cansler was the secretary, and before he got hold of the place, William H. Steward, of Louisville, Ky., editor of the American Baptist had it. It is now held by Prof. R B. Hudson, a teacher and principal of the high school in Selma. I say teacher, but I should say supervisor, because he does not do any teaching himself, but he sees to it that it goes on and that it is properly done. Getting through with these things, I was on hand Friday night in the 12 000 people who filed the armory to hear that young pulpit orator, that leader of his people, the man who has done so much to put things in order and to defend his people, Dr. Sutten E. Griggs. He is a son of the convention and the son of his father. I was righted to have the pleasure of hearing that wonderful address of his, and it was wonderful. He is taking his place among the great thinkers of the age Dr. Griggs made plain the conditions in this country. Have you ever met Dr. L. K Williams? He is the pastor of the largest congregation in the country, the Olivet Baptist church, with its nearly 10,000 members, and a pastor with his assistance, and a man in touch with the world. So well has Dr. Williams gone into the hearts of all the people that he was able to get for his church work and for his church from the white Baptists of the North, $30,000, and others joined in this and eleven workers, need by the church and the people. I consider him a wonderful man and believe me when I tell you that at some time he is going to be successor to Dr. E C. Morris, as president of the National Baptist convention. Dr. Williams is a young man, well educated, and a leader of men. The whole world is going to know him ere he leaves this world. I had a great time in the convention, heard many speeches, and got into many things. All looking to the betterment of the race. I will stop here and write you another time. J O. MIDNIGHT.

The Willys-Overland company has abandoned its profit-sharing plan with its employees for the quarter ending June 30, according to a statement made by officials of the company. The statement adds that employees who remain at work may hope to share in the October division of profits. The reason given for suspension of the plan reads: "Owing to the unjust strike in our plant, instead of making a profit in the quarter ending June 30, we sustained a loss." The company declared its regular dividend at a recent meeting of the board of directors. Increases of 50 cents to $1 a day in wages were announced at Blsbee, Arlz, dating from July 16, for copper mines in the Warren district and smelters at Douglas. The new scale will be on the basis of 24-cent copper because of the continued high cost of living. By a vote of 368 to 47, the house of representatives passed the bill providing a minimum wage of $3 for all government employees except those in the postal service. The wage is exclusive of the war-time bonus of $240 a year. The measure now goes to the senate. The Warner Brothers Corset company reopened to its 2,500 employees after a shutdown of ten days, with an 18 per cent wage increase. The company made no concessions in the matter of a 44-hour week, and the "closed shop" demand will come before a board of arbitration composed of one union man, one company official and a third man chosen by the two. Shoe factories of Portsmouth, Ohio, granted a second service dividend of from 5 to 10 per cent which will affect 70 per cent of the workers employed in the shoe industry there. The amount of dividends depends on the length of service, but all employees who entered the United States service and returned to work will be given credit for the time absent. A 10 per cent bonus was granted in November, 1916. The New Hampshire State Federation of Labor adopted a platform of agitation for the ensuing year, which includes a demand for a 44-hour week as the general standard of hours of labor, ratification of the suffrage amendment, retention of the daylight-saving, and an increase of 25 per cent in wages of postal workers. No action was taken on the question of prohibition. The Boston Newspaper Publishers' association agreed to grant the demands of the News Writers' union for a minimum wage scale of $45 a week for rewrite men and copy readers, $33 for reporters and staff photographers, and $30 for district men. Members of the union who receive more than the minimum wage will receive "proportionate Increases." The scale is retroactive to June 1. Five hundred and fifty men employed at the Webb mine of the Cambria mining company, Bellaire, O., resumed work after being on strike for nearly a week because of a shortage in pay of less than $1 each for 100 men. The company rectified errors in 35 of the men's envelopes but before all could be corrected the mine had been ordered shut down. The loss in pay through no work during the strike will be about $3,000. Announcement was made at Michigan City, Ind., that the Haskell & Barker Car company had shut down its local plants pending adjustment of labor difficulties. About 2,500 men are affected. The foundries are excepted. After a disagreement of five weeks' duration between shoe manufacturers and employees over the question of reducing the working hours from 48 a week to 45, the manufacturers at Haverhill decided to grant the demands. It is expected that the manufacturers and union will soon agree upon a method of doing business without strikes or lockouts. DO YOU KNOW? 1.
