The citizens of Jefferson City, and the faculty and students of Lincoln Institutet, united in celebrating Emancipation yesterday, and attracted large crowds of people. The feature of the celebration was a street parade early in the morning, which was several blocks long, showing the racial progress. Headed by a batallion of citizens Lincoln Institute band, and cadets following, and then followed appropriately decorated automobiles, owned by the race and a rumber which had been decorated for the occasion by wealthy white citizens; and floats carrying the Lincoln Institute model school, instilling into the heart sof the children, patriotism and love for the country. The little children surrounded one of their number, Louise Richardson, who represented "Liberty" Following a lively time in the afternoon on the campus, a program was rendered in teh chapel at 8 o'clock in the evening. President Clement Richardson, president of Lincoln Institute, presided and read the scripture lesson. Musci by Lincoln Institute orchestra and a melody was sung with mixed voices, "Jesus Feed Me." Dr. E. L. Scruggs made the prayer; and after singing "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," and a piano solo by Mrs. F. E. Teery. The address was delivered by Col. A. N. Seaber, a veteran of the Civil war. He paid a high tribute to the colored soldiers who fought not for freedom, because he declared that the emancipation proclamation had made them free, and the fight was for the union, and to save Old Glory. "The proclamation," he said "was imparted by God, that all American citizens should be free. All along the line manhood was demonstrated in blood and the graves of your dead are scattered on the hill side with ours. The result is that you are no more African than I am Irish or French. You are Americans. Young men and women uphold your countrys laws, and then you will be entitled to the respect of the American people and American laws." The celebration was the greatest in the history of the city. The Social Service eague, of Jefferson citizens, of which Prof. Clement Richardson is president, is doing a great work for the uplift of the race. Among the working being done by League: They are supporting on Old Folks' Home and some of the leading and wealthiest white people contributed liberally to the cause. Lincoln is crowded, having the largest crowd in the history of the organization. Students are being turned away daily, being unable to place them. Mrs. Lizzie Moore of Toledo. Ohio, is visiting her brother and family, Mr and Mrs. Squire Lee, on Freeman avenue. Rev. Van Lieu, a Baptist State Missionary, visited the Forum at Metropolitan Temple. LINCOLN DAY CLUB HOLD CELEBRATION Emancipation Day was celebrated Monday, September 22nd at Heathwood Park, all of our colored schools being dismissed at noon. Hundreds of them enjoyed the afternoon at this beautiful park. Lieut I. F. Bradley, Jr., one of our young and popular attorneys, was in charge and had for the speaker of the day Hon. C. A. Franklin, editor of "The Call," Kansas City, Mo. The day was an ideal one, for such an occasion, but there was a lack of attendance and interest by those who claim to be leaders and are everlastingly demanding and commanding. What about your children? Do you want to forget the race's martyr? Just so is it that your children will forget your sacrifices and suffering, that they might make the top of the mountain with greater speed and less energy. Think it over. Editor Franklin made a splendid address that fitted in for the youth as well as the old. Kans Historical Society VOLUME VI. RECORD CROWD GREETS COL. SIMMONS AT A. M. F.

Roscoe Conklin Simmons, the race's present age Moses, made his second appearance before a Kansas City, Kansas, audience, and like unto his first, only of greater magnitude. he held within his grasp for two and one-half hours with such oratory and burning truths that not a single person of the fifteen hundred present left the room or showed the least bit of unrest. The most striking feature in Col. Simmons' speech is—he speaks to the people, unclassified and unnarrated. He told of his travels and experiences through the war zones in France, picturing in a most pathetic way many of the thrilling scenes he saw on the bloody battlefields of that far-off land. He related some positive and concrete occurrences that were his regret to witness among civilized people of a stronger and higher civilization. The speaker referring to the League of Nations said, "that the 13,000,000 Negroes of this country were not only against it, but also its promoter." One of his strong points where he with incalculable force, urged in the name of God and humanity, get together as a race. There were a number of well-thinking people of the races present, among them bankers, business and professional men of whom some never fail to be present to hear this wise statesman. Col. Simmons left Saturday for the Pacific coast, where he has been called to fill some two weeks' engagements, speaking in all the largest cities of our great western country. REV. H. H.

King An able sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. W. C. Williams of Omaha. It was spunctuated with outbursts of "amens" and "Glory to God,' and other expressions of approval. The discourse was scholarly and spiritual. He based his remarks on the words of Jesus Christ, as recorded by Matthew in the 28th chapter, 18, 19 and 20 verses, "And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, All power is given unto me, in heaven and in earth. Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son and the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; lo, I am with you always, even to the end." The Universal Gospel of Jesus Christ," was the theme discussed. The preacher declared that the gospel of Jesus Christ was the only power to bring universal peace to all nations. "Two thousand years ago at Jerusalem," he said, "Jesus laid the foundation for peace, and all power is given unto Him. He is therefore the authority for all power, for it has been given unto Him He is for it has been given unto Him. He has paid the price for it, which was suffering, tears, agony, shedding of blood death resurrection and ascension. This paid He willingly." Following the sermon, Holy Communion was administered by Bishop Parks, who was assisted by the presiding elders, and Dr. J. C. Caldwell and others. Then followed remarks by Bishop Parks, who told of the success of the Puget Sound and the California conferences. He spoke of the goodness of God and the manifestation of His love toward the work.

O..Midnight, Our Correspondent-at-Large, Gives the Details— Other News Chicago, Ill.—The world continues to move, and you will find that I am moving also. I am just in from that big convention held in Newark, and I want to here congratulate them Baptists on getting together so many big people, and doing so much good work for the betterment of the world. The Baptists were in that city as thick as fleas on a dog's back and I don't care whose dog you use to measure them. I was there when the convention opened and then I was there when it closed and had much talk with them big men. I had something to say to you about the attack which was mailed on me by the Knights of Labor, and how they tried to destroy my life, but I was able to send many of them away from this world. I smashed them so that eternity itself will never reveal their whereabouts. That was the only thing left for me to do. But after I had killed many of them I learned that they were only looking for something to eat and wanted that. I permit each man and his family to take their meals off of my carcass without even asking my permission or paying me any board, and I was boarding in the city at the rate of two dollars a day. Now you want to know what else happened, and all the things I_have seen and what I have done since I wrote to you. Let her go, and you will listen. Let the world sit up and take notice and see what has happened. The convention known as the National Baptist convention, and you know it was the real thing, met in Newark, N. J., and the people (Continued on Fourth Page) PETER H. who closed his fifth year at Parsons, Kansas with phenomenal success. He has completed one among the best church buildings in this conference. Rev. Greene is one of the strong young Christian ministers of the west and merits anything in the gift of his conference. Rev. W. B. Johnson will close his second year's pastorate of the Second Methodist church of Paola and will go to the annual conference to be held in Kansas City, Kansas, September 23. Rev. Mr. Johnson is a sincere, capable preacher, thoroughly devoted to his work, and has made many friends in Paola, both among the colored and white people, who respect him for his courage and integrity.—Paola Republican. Mrs. Howard. of Omaha, Neb., is here visiting Mrs. Richardson, her sister. She joined Metropolitan church and probably will remain indefinitely. The Robinson-Stewart family. Reunion will be held Sunday, September 28th, at Mrs. B. C. Scott's, 819 Freeman avenue, from 7 a.m., to 11 p.m. Mr. Alexander-Gatewood of this city was granted a scholarship at Kansas University, which goes to show that merit is what wins after all.

It is being seen and felt more every day that the colored people of Kansas City, Kansas, and Wyandotte county are getting together, along many lines than ever before. The maner in which it is being done is meeting the approval of all its citizens and in that quiet business way and mutual understanding, between the classes, they will soon be so cemented in their efforts that when they are needed the telephone will be sufficient to do the rest. The Negro is no longer waiting to see what the other fellow is going to do, but he is doing things himself, and then asking his neighbor if he can help him. This spirit is prevailing all over the city and it has already been felt, besides the showing it has made along business enterprises and confidential lines. All we need is a little more confidence in each other, and our worth and power to the race and humanity will be unlimited. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Although the weather was inclement with rain it did not dampen the zeal of many to go to the Temple to worship Sunday morning. Pastor Holmes again gave a practical sermon on how we should conquer with Christian love. One main thought was, "We cannot make people do right by using clubs, pistols or violence." Many acquiesced by "amens" to his good advice and some joined the church. Dr. F. D. Booker and others were fellowshipped and a large collection was taken At 4 p. m., the Citizens Forum had the first meeting of this season, and Prof. Hodge, Superintendent Pearson and Prof. Gregg made talks on "Education" to a large audience.

He gave some good illustrations of what real prayer is. Deacon Jennigs offered prayer and the choir, the first to have surplices in our city, enrobed in white, sang the "Te Deum."

A number of copies were sold. At 3 p. m., a fine program was rendered. Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. D. A. Holmes and Mrs. T. H. Reynolds rendered fine service in their respective talents.

Prof. Reynolds led the large audience in singing beautiful community songs. Quotations were given by different ones. Mrs. W. Dwiggins gave current events. Prof. Hodge of Sumner opened the discussion on Education, telling of places he had visited and how he thought some of the southern states sent their children to school, considering their chances, better than in Kansas. Dr. Holmes interrupted him in a friendly manner to get an explanation. Prof. Gregg of Western University, made the best talk we have ever heard him make, but he seemed to think some do not avail themselves of their educational advantages in Kansas. Prof. A. J Neely represented the Elementary Schools and spoke well. He seemed to think there is not enough stress put on the fundamentals, i.e., reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic. The writer agrees with him to a certain extent. Some white and some colored go through High school and can't spell, read or write as legibly as they ought Superintendent M. E. Pearson did not agree with Prof. Hodge that the white children finished earlier than the colored. He said, "Education is not a question of races," the brains are the same and a colored child with the same chance of a white child can do as well or better." Mr. Bird answered Prof. Hodge by saying "He is glad Kansas gives a colored child $96 per capita for education, while the Southern states only give $131 for each colored child. Prof Buster acted as critic; Mrs. V. Calhoun as secretary, and Mrs. M. C. Matthews, the publicity committee, was also at her post. Next Sunday, September 28th Prof. J. Herriford will make the principal address; and fine music will be given. Dont miss' the Forum. Mr. Mowbray will have charge of the progra mat 4 p. m. PROCLAMTION. For a number of years the anniversary of the Chicago fire, October 9, has been general observed throughout the United States and Canada, as Fire Prevention Day and this year the scope of its observance is to be extended as much as possible. It is hoped keener interest will be taken because of unusual conditions with their accompanying disorder. Never in the history of the continent has the conservation of resources been as important as at the present time. Fire losses in the United States and Canada were 317,014,385. To this stupendous sum Kansas contributed $4,701,653. This loss in property is only a share of the great sustained, for in addition must be considered the cost of fire prevention and the loss of earning power and production. That a large share of this great loss was preventable goes without saying. Therefore: In order to bring about a concerted observance of "Fire Prevention Day" in Kansas I, Henry J. Allen, governor, do hereby designate Thursday, October 9, 1919, Fire Prevention Day and urge that every resident of the state, whether he be private citizen or public official, join in its observance. Schools are urged to have special programs along fire prevention lines and the co-operation of the womens clubs of the state is most earnestly solicited to the end that the occasion will bee made the success it deserves to be. The Fire Marshals' Association of North America in LAMBRIGHT COMPANY Dealer in COAL AND ICE 1620 North Third Street Bell Phone, West 1923 Kansas City, Kan. convention at Toronto strongly endorsed the pla nof observing this day and suggested tha the co-operation of the churches be enlisted for the proper emphasis of the purposs of the day. I earnestly request the churches to give whatever effective attention is possible to the matter. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed the Great Seal of the State of Kansas, Done at the Capitol, in the city of Topeka, this seventeenth day of September, 1919. L. J.
