TWELVE MONTHS; $1.50. KANSAS A. M. E. CONFERENCE CLOSES GREATEST SESSION REPORTS EXCELLED IN EVERY DEPARTMENT OF WORK Bishop Parks Presided With His Usual Dignity Parsons Gets the Next Session The Kansas Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church has just closed the greatest session in its history, presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D.D., of Chicago, who is considered one fo the most remarkable men of the race, and who is doing a great work for the uplift and development of the whole race. The sessions of the conference were held in the First African Methodist church, of which the Rev. Dr. J. F. Griffin, is pastor. The people had made all preparations for the entertainment of the ministers of the conference and visitors. The officials were well organized, proper committees appointed. Good homes were prepared for all and fine meals were served by experienced men and women. The conference opened Wednesday morning and the opening sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. W. C. Williams, of Omaha, and then followed the reports. The dollar money was $726 increase over the previous year. There was a lively contest between the big churches, so that on the night of Educational anniversary, there was placed on the table in cash, $1,006 for the educational rally. Governor Henry Allen delivered the principal address. He was given an ovation, and his address was punctuated with outbursts of applauses as he spoke out of his heart to the large congregation. It was an address freighted with inspiration as well as good news. The Rev. G. R. Tillman preached the annual missionary sermon, and an important report was read by Dr. J. R. Ransom, touching on the state of the condition of the race. It was the report of the committee on the state of the country. Dr. Ransom is the recognized leader of the conference, and has the indorsement of his conference for the episcopacy. He will have the district behind him when he goes to the general conference next May in St. Louis. He is a strong man, because he is a friend to all the ministers, and is ever ready to respond to them and their call. Sunday morning Bishop H. Blanton Parks preached and ordained deacons and elders; and in the afternoon memorial services were held and a sermon preached by Rev. J. S Payne, and the closing sermon was preached Sunday night by Dr. G. B. Billuns. Rev. J. S. Caldwell, D.D, of Philadelphia, a friend of the young people, being secretary of the 'Allen Christian Endeavor League, delivered an address. He is one of the favorite men for episcopal honors.

Bishop Parks is undoubtedly a leader of men. He leads and not drives. The Fifth Episcopal District would be blessed if he is returned to it again. The entire district is praying that such may be done. The only general officer that attended the conference was Rev. J. C. Caldwell, who has put the Allen League on the map. It is said without doubt he will be elected one of the new bishops at the next General Conference. He is loved by the entire connection.

THIRD ANNUAL REUNION OF THE ROBINSON-STEWARTS The Third Annual Reunion of the Robinson-Stewarts, one of the greatest families in the Middle West, was held September 28th, at Mr. and Mrs. E. Scotts residence, 819. Freeman avenue. Although the weather was threatening, God smiled on them and stayed the rain. The house was nicely decorated with natural flowers, maiden hair and asparagus ferns, La France roses, etc., with two large horse shoes of golden rod, hanging ove reach arch. Mrs. B. C. Scott, the hostess, was assisted by Mrs. D. Holman and her youngest daughter and others in receiving the guests. From 10 a. m., to 11 p. m., the callers enjoyed themselves, Promptly at 2:30 p. m., Mrs. Lulu Taylor, a fine cateress, gave the signal for dinner. The tables, decorated with floral centerpices, fine china and silver, accommodated twenty-four. Bishop H. Blanton Parks and his wife, being special acquaintances of some of the relatives, arrived just in time with Rev. Griffith, in a limousine, to be served at and bless the first table. The tables groaned under the weight of the sumptuous viands. While enjoying the banquet a beautiful white dove, attached to white ribbon, flew down on the table, and when caught surprised all by bearing this message: "Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Scott announce the marriage of their daughter, Orpheus Scott, to Mr. William Towers, June 1920." It was the most novel announcement we've had among our people. Bishop Parks praised the dinner as being as fine cooking as he had ever tasted. Also said "He'd traveled all over this country, but this was the largest family trying to get together in a reunion that he had ever met." A fine victrola discoursed music while they were feasting; and while the wditresses, Mesdames Lizzie Cole-Ford, Maudie Royston, Grace Smith; De Ella Holman, Celesta Meeks and Scottie Thatcher served them to the following menu: Candied sweet potatoes, salmon salad, fried chicken with brown sauce gravy, baked ham, corn pudding, celery salad with mauonnaise dressing, string beans with bacon, potato salad, tomatoes, whipped mashed potaotes, white bread, corn bread, coffee, excellent ice cream, white, golden and chocolate cake in abundance.

CHURCH CONFERENCE Hannibal, Mo., Oct. 2.—The North Missouri African Methodist Episcopal conference opened here this morning, presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D.D., of Chicago. The opening exercises were impressive. "And Are We Yet Alive?" was the opening hymn lined by Bishop Parks, and the opening prayer was made by Dr. M. S. Bryant, one of the oldest ministers in the conference. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. G. E. Pettigrew. It was practical and full of information. Following the sermon Holy Communion was administered by Bishop Parks, assisted by the presiding elders. In his opening address to the conference Bishop Parks touched every phase of the work. He deplored the spread of lawlessness in a civilized country like this of ours, and said that it was to be regretted that there shoul dbe a lynching in civilized Omaha. "America seems to be still blood thirsty. It is a shame upon our civilization, a people who would go to Europe to fight for world-wide democracy, and seemingly cannot put down lynching at home. This is my home, and I have always been as I am now, ready to shed every drop of blood for Old Glory, and now what will Old Glory do for me? thank God that I belong to a race that is not vindictive. You will be called upon to give liberally for education. "No phase of reconstruction work of today means more than that of education. The demands of the intelligent, trained citizenship are absolute from which there is no appeal. It is upIt is up to the individual to say whether his shall be an intelligent or an ignorant, untrained slavery. Christian education is the only way of escape for the young race to occupy its place in the tomorrow. The people who will not know God cannot be great in goodness, however far or profound they may advance in knowledge, of science, philophy, of literature. Half trained people are little or more or less weaklings whose efficiency is a menace to any community, or country." The conference will be in session until Sunday night. Dr. J. C. Caldwell, of Nashville, Tenn, secretary'of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, and material for bishop timber, is here. He is a member of the conference, and has the confidence and love of his brethren. There are many other visitors. Dr. J. R. Ransom, the giant of the Kansas conference, who is also before the church and whose election is awaiting May, 1920, spoke. COLORADO CONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS Rocky Mountain District—R, L.

MANNING, Manager Well, as I told you in my last letter, I am in Kansas City as I sit down and take my pen in hand to write you this week; but I will be far from here when you hear from me the next time, and then will be away from there before you can read that letter. Sit down and see what I have to say, and if I don't put all my brains on paper this week, you will know as much as I do or as much as I tell you. Leaving Chicago, I went to Indianapolis, Ind., and was accompanied by my private secretary. Thank God I have a private secretary who is going to teach me how to write and write and cipher, too. She is going to give me singing lessons, piano lessons, guitar lessons—in fact, I am going to learn to play everything that makes music, and then you will not be able to get in touch with me, but just stand aside and see my education go by. I was the guest of two big preachers in Indianapolis, Ind., the Rev. Dr. Westbrooks, and Rev. Dr. Ward, both Baptists, and both of them attended that big Baptist convention in Newark, where we had to do such grand work, and where I earned the title of "Colonel." I put to death nine thousand and one hundred were swift enough to get out of the way and save life. It was a rainy day in the city, and between showers I made it to the churches and heard Charles Stewart, A.M., D.D., and when I got through listening to him, I put to another part of the world. I got on a wagon and made it right into St. Louis. Prof. Aaron Malone invited me to come right out to Poro college,—in fact he sent an automobile carriage after me and I soon had my little feet under his table sending good things into the place where I have reserved for the place to deposit good things. I spent only the day in town. They were getting ready to start to work on their new special building. That is to say, the building which they erected less than a year ago at the cost of nearly half a million dollars, has grown too small for the business and it is now necessary to put more to it. This will be done and will cost not less than one hundred thousand dollars. That's doing business, and believe me, I found them happy around Poro and everybody business. Miss Elizabeth Smith was away at her sister's sick bed, but it is hoped that she will soon be found at her post of duty. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with Dr. S. A. Mosely, went to the business of Mrs. Brown, the widow of W. W. Brown. She is conducting a tailoring business right on Pendleton street, and while she was at home at rest one night some one Now THE ADVOCATE'S PRESENTATIVE, WAS AN AT THE CONFERENCE in the People of Kansas and Vicinity. had gone into the business, not by key way, but, by breaking out glass and secured a suit of clothes and an extra pair of pants without having to pay for them. Now then, the next thing found me on my way to Jefferson City, the head city of Missouri, where they meet and make all the laws and where the governor occupies his mansion and transacts busienss for the people. When I stepped off the wagon at 10 o'clock at night, Prof. Clement Richardson had been sent down to meet me and it just made me feel like I was some pumpkins myself, and it will take a long time for my head to get off its regular size. One of the men was Prof. I. C. Tull, dean of Lincoln Institute, and professor of mathematics. He shook my lily black hand and it looked like he wanted to shake it off. He was delighted to meet and congratulate the Colonel, right from the bloody battlefield of bedbugs. The car grunted a time or two and soon it was at the institution and I was in the presence of one of the great educators of our country, and one of the best trained men in the race. I think I shall wait until another letter to tell you about him and his school work, and those associated with him, because I want to tell you a few things about the conference in this week's letter. When I shook his hand, I liked to have knocked the breath out of that professor and president, for I said to him, "Inkerosustilenkolum Mitretusorum itolatum." He just looked at me without saying a word. I meant to convey to him that I was delighted to be in the school and to see the great work being done. Later I was introduced to Mrs. Richardson, and although it was then about 11 oclock at night, she had prepared for me a steak fully as thick as my he'el and I certainly did send it into my personal eternity, and then went to bed. I shall stop about the school here. Off for the conference was the next thing. Reaching town I met Editor Kennedy. who shook my lily black hands, and assured me that I was welcome to Kansas after my bloody conflict in Newark, and introduced me to one of the finest pastors I have met, Dr. J. F. Griffin, who also congratulated me. More people seemed to want to shake hands with me, and some said they were delighted to keep up with me to see what I had to say from time to time. Dr. Griffin is just a business minister, and believe me, honey, when I tell you he is some preacher.

O. MIDNIGHT HERE The Advocate's most travelless and rideness man this side of Jupiter, J. O. Midnight, was in the city a few days last week, hobnobbing with the editor and looking upon the Kansas A. M. E. conference. We were highly honored with his presence and his advice along future lines to pursue for the development of the Negro press was greatly appreciated by the editor. Since Mr. Midnight fought and won such a great battle a few weeks ago in Newark, New Jersey, and was commissioned a colonel for his bravery, he is undecided at this time, whether he will continue as traveling representative for The Advocate or get in the presidential race—anyway we can say, if he does, there is one publication whose pages will be thrown open in his candidacy and providing he furnishes zink, he can run his cut on every page once per week until his nomination comes to some definite conclusion. Well, we know one thing; he made many friends while here and the editor, with these multitudes, will he glad to see him at any time. Ever welcome, J. O. TAKEN INTO UNION Mr. J. J. Lindsey, who recently came here from Texas, and is a first class carpenter, was admitted last week to one of the locals of this city. This is the first instance we know of a local of this craft opening its doors in this city to a colored skilled mechanic. While this admittance is nothing to boast about, as he is none the less than a man, but we want to give this local and those of it credit who recognizes worth and not color. Mr. Lindsey lives at 830 Troup avenue. MARRIAGE LICENSES. Ed. Thomas, Kansas City, Mo., 39; Lulu Buford, 40; Kansas City, Kans. Richard Chism, 51; May Jones, 39; Kansas City, Mo. Wm.

J. O. MIDNIGHT A VISITOR AT CONFERENCE (Conluded from First Page) some pumpkins when it comes to the pulpit, and then he is a fine Christian gentleman. During the past year he has done some great things in this town, and I was surprised when I heartl him report that over $16,000 had been raised from the people in one year. He put down more dollar money than had ever been raised in this charge, and then he had been paid well for his service. I shouted out, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." I turned around a time or two, and then I was in company with one of the finest young men in the A.M. E. connection, Dr. J. C. Caldwell, who has charge of the work among the young people, and who has made his way into the hearts of the people, until there is a clamor for him on the bench. He will make one of the greatest men the African Methodist Episcopal church has had since the days of Bishop Payne, and Dr. Caldwell has in him some of the spirit of Allen, the culture of Payne, the push of Grant, and with that combination, he would do great things for the race, church and God. The smallest child can reach him, and he is a friend to the pastor, for he has been along that road himself. He has been on a mission as well as circuit and station. He worked from the ground up, and will soon reach the top. You may put it all down that I told you. I met Bishop H. Blanton Parks, who is some man, believe me, and he will make you feel proud of him every time he opens his mouth. He is a man of system, a man of ability and a man of worth. His work alone will tell the world who he is. He is accompanied by his wife, who is a fine companion, a good mother, and devoted to the women of the district as well as her husband. I have told you from time to time PAGE FOUR BAKER Printing, Decorating Glazing Guaranteed 18 NORTH SEVENTH STREET NY, KANSAS Open Day and Night & WELTON ER N SERVICE UNDERTAKERS SAL DIRECTORS AND MBALMERS Preyances at Your Service : KANSAS CITY, KANSAS about Dr. J. R. Ransom, the leader of the conference, and a man who is going to make things' go in this world—the man who is just a friend to all mankind, and the people think well of him, to the extent that they expect to put him on the bench. He will be a good addition to the episcopal bench, and I wish that I had a vote to place him there. The conference opened on time, and the people filed in to take part. A great sermon was preached by Dr. W. C. Williams, of Omaha, Neb. He is some preacher. I was proud to have heard him and his words of eloquence and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. I enjoyed them, even though I am a Baptist. Then followed Communion, and I am sorry Iwould not get any of that. It was well conducted, and I was glad to see them. But then followed the election. Rev. R. C. Henderson the son-in-law of Dr. J. R Ransom, was elected secretary in chief; and Rev. J. W. Williams, recording secretary; J. W. Warren, statistical secretary; E. Walker, J. H. Daniels, P. Snell, John Allen, marshals, and they elected reporters to the papers, making Editor Kennedy reporter to the secular papers, and Charles Stewart, something I could not understand just what. E. R. Vaughn, to the Southern Christian Recorder, and H. H. Jones to the Christian Recorder. A number of committees were appointed and then they got down to business. This information has been published. It was on Thursday afternoon that the tug-of-war started. It was the contest for to go to the General Conference. They were there in great numbers, and all wanted to get into it and to have something to say. The conference was entitled under the rule to five ministerial delegates to be elected and two laymen already elected. I need not tell you that Dr. Ransom led the delegation, and then followed the other delegates: Rvs. J. T. Smith, J. C. C. Owens, W. H. King and J. F. Griffin. We all congratulate Dr. Griffin, because he is a new man in the conference and his first time in election. He had made his way. The laymen were Prof. J. A. Gregg, and P. Robinson. There was a big conference all the way through, and to say that I enjoyed it will be putting it mildly. We had some great times there, and I shall never forget the time. I will have to bring my letter to a stop, but I am not through. I heard a wonderful address by Dr. George McNeal, and he has something to say whe she opens his mouth. KANSAS A. M. E. C.

At the head is some man, Prof. J. H. Hodge, the principal. He is a fine man, and we are all proud to know him. I went there one day with a number. I shall have more to say another visit, and then I am going to tell you something about Mrs. Dwiggins, president of the Inter-State. I want to express to Mr. and Mrs. Tilford Davis my sincere thanks for courtesies extended me, and for the fine entertainment, also to Dr. and Mrs. Griffin. Space and time will not permit me to tell you all about them this week. J. O. MIDNIGHT. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of Jackson D Gatewood, who died a year ago, September 19, 1918. We did not know the pain he had, Although we saw him die. We only knew he passed away. And never said Good Bye. We often sit and think of him When we are all alone. For memory is the only thing. That grief can call its own. Goodbye, my dear son I never can forget you and never will stop grieying after you until I meet you. Sadly missed by Wife, Father, Mother and Family.

C. Williams of Omaha, and Rev. J. F. Griffin of First A. M. E. created plenty of church spirit in their friendly rivalry for supremacy in all reports. Both are great men. Educational night was a hummer, laying $1,006.50 in cash on the table for Ward Hall at Western University. Rev. J. R. Ransom, who has pastored in this state for more than 30 years, made a great report from Wichita, and he is destined to be one of the new bishops elected in 1920. He is everybody's friend. The conference made no mistake when they selected Dr. J. F. Griffin a member of the delegation to the general conference, and it showd his popularity in this conference, he only being here a little over two years. Bishop Parks was greatly and pleasantly surprised Sunday evening when the conference presented him with a purse of $100. Mrs. Parks was also presented a nice purse by the ladies of this conference. Presiding Elder J. T. Smith was presested with a purse of $85, and Presiding Elders H. D. Harris and E. W. Smith, $75 and 50, respectively. More than two thousand filled the church Sunday night and hundreds stood on the outside until the appointments were read. The pastor of First, A. M. E. church, Eighth and Nebraska, is under many obligations to the park department of the city and especially to the superintendent, Mr. H. B Burton, in cleaning up the streets around the church during our annual conference.
