PRESS REPORTS OF RACE WAR NOT AUTHENTICATED Midnight Scores News Mongers for Their Sensationalism Woodson, Ark.—Things are getting to normal in this section of the Country, and the men who have gone into eternity will not return to take up things in this world, but must be contented where they are, for they will never return. I can only say the Lord hath given them to the world; sin and indiscretion hath taken them away; blessed be the name of the Lord. It is hard to tell where a white man is going to stop when he gets excited, and when he is fearing death you don't know what he is liable to say which will not truly represent the truth. The whole world was shocked when they read that "Negroes organized to kill white folks." That is as far from being the truth as heaven is from the place where the wind was never known to blow, and where the people never have any ice water. The man who sent it out wanted to get sympathy in his onslaught, in his taking of human life, in his destroying life and property of my people, and thought that the white people from the states around would join him if it got a little warm. The sooner the devil reaches up and takes to his home that class of people, the more love and respect I will have for his Satanic majesty, the devil. That place is almost too good for them, and for that boob who put it out that they had captured so much ammunition and guns at the Branch Normal College, which was the headquarters of the organization. The truth of the whole thing is that the Government had some guns and ammunition at the institution, because it had been one of the schools used during the war, and it is now one of the few R. O. T. C., for our people. This is right now. But under excitement, the mayor of Pine Bluff know that they were there, and he rushed out and took them up, for fear that they might be used, and then some one, I don't know who it was, furnished the information to the press that such had been the case. The whole country then read what was read, and you can get but a slight idea of what was created in the minds of the people. I thank God that the Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock, and the Pine Bluff Graphic, both nailed this false, and nailed it hard. Branch Normal is one of the institutions in the south that is preparing our people for manhood future. At the head of this institution is one of the brightest young men of the race, Prof. J. G. Ish. He has the confidence of the government, of the state, of the city—and then he enjoys the confidence of his people. He is a refined, cultured young man, and is pointing our young people to the highest possible citizenship. He is teaching them true manhood and womanhood, and doing his whole duty. We must all admire such a man, and condemn any effort that might be put forth to destroy his usefulness. He lives for the people. I have been the rounds just a little bit, for when I wrote to you last I was some where in this world, and I am still in the world, but it is hard to tell how much longer I am going to be able to stay down here, but if the Lord should call me toorrow I will be ready and willing to go. But then let us see where I am and where I have been. I have been to Palestine, Texas, as you know and there is where the Baptist Missionary and Educational convention had their meet, and where they did make some showoff, for they put on the table about $26,000 for their work. This represented the work of the two conventions. I mean the convention of the state, represented by Rev. A L. Boone, D.D., president, and the women's convention which met at the same time. represented by Mrs. Edna Strickland, of Pittsburg, Texas; president. These two bodies are going side by side, as God would have VOLUME VI. them go, and are putting forth every possible effort to make things go and go in the right direction at that. They are working for the uplift of our people, and meeting with success. I want to commend Dr. A. L. Boone, Mrs. Edna, Strickland, and Secretary M. M. Rodgers, of Dallas, for the great work, and will include all the men and women of Texas who had anything to do with the success of this great meeting. It is wonderful how circumstances are driving our people together and how they are doing for themselves. This is what should be and this is what is being done. We can truly say, "The Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad." I had the pleasure of meeting some of the big Baptists of Texas, such as L. K. Williams, D.D., who is pastor of that big church in Chicago. He came down to have a say, and he did have it. He is on hand every year. Did you know that he is pastor of a church with over 8,000 members, and has three assistant pastors? But he is true to his old state and is there every time the convention meets. He had present two of the women of his church this time, Mrs. Trice and Mrs. Maxwell. Both belonged in the state before they went to Chicago, and both were welcomed back homed by the host of women, and you will believe me when I tell you both of them made some speeches. Mrs. Maxwell is connected with Bishop college, and the other one, who is her sister, Mrs. Trice, is just visiting her old home and coming in touch with the people. I was so glad to see her and to talk to her. I made it from here to Marshall. I have not told you much about Marshall, and it is worth talking about, because there are two great colleges there. Wiley University and Bishop College. Of course you know of Wiley, "because it was in this school where Emmett J. Scott got his furnishing touch that made him the man that he is today. It was here that he was prepared for the position of good secretary, and where he prepared to do real good newspaper work, and then passed on up to Dr. Washington, as private and executive secretary; secretary to Tuskegee Institute, and the special assistant to Secretary Baker, of the war department, and now the machine director of Howard University. It is indeed a high and responsible position, and he is fully prepared to fill it, and is doing so. He is secretary-treasurer to Howard University, and because he touched Wiley. At the head of the school is one of the best men of our race, Dr. M. W. Dogan, a scholar and a gentleman. He has made many friends, so that when adversity, known as hard luck, struck him. God had friends prepared for him already. There was a fine which destroyed several buildings. I was not there, but he touched the wire, and God sent down there Secretary P. J. Maveeety, of the Freedman's Aid Society the educational center of the Methodist Episcopal church. This secretary is a man, every inch of him. He did not come down, find four buildings in ashes and start a general howl, but looked and said that it could have been worse, and told the president to begin plans for new buildings, and the money would be forthcoming. Now that's what I call a true friend I hope to live long enough to see him one of the bishops in the M. E. church and if the Lord will just let me stay here a little while longer and his ambition runs that way it is going to be. If I had ten thousand votes I would give them all to him for anything he wanted in that church. He is a straight forward man. Then he is dealing with a straight forward man. Such is life in this world. I got through with Wiley, made a trip over to Bishop, and then went to Shreveport, Little Rock and on here. But you will be surprised to know that the world is not civilized yet. There was Miss Clara Mays, of Indianapolis, who was down in Texarkana, exhibiting her talent. One day she got on a street car, and the conductor told her to get off and let the white woman get on and then step back. She had gotten up and refused to do so. He drove up to the next corner, had her arrested, and the judge fined her $25 and assessed the court cost. This is civilization going backward. But I am not going CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY Sunday at the Citiz E. Church, Sunda KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1919 to comment on it this week, but may do so later. * I have many things to say to you, but fear you cannot stand them all now. Look for me later. FALCONER STOVE COMPANY Among the large and reliable stove houses in Kansas City, Kansas, is that of J. C. Falconer, at 14-16 North James street. There is probably no firm in the city that carries a larger stock of high-grade stoves, of coal ranges, coal and gas combination ranges and exclusive gas ranges than Mr. Falconer. The Moores stove is known to be one of the best on the market today, as to its durability and cooking qualities, and is conceded to be one of the handsomest piece, of kitchen furniture made today. There are hundreds of them being used in the two cities from this store and everyone is giving perfect satisfaction. As to heaters of this make as well as dozen of other makes, and also of ranges besides, Mr. Falconer carries the largest stock of rugs of any stove house in the west. In fact, he can furnish a house from garret to basement, and it is always a pleasure to walk in this store, as such courteous treatment is tendered everyone. By this firm being out of the high rent district, it can afford to sell a little cheaper. You will notice their big ad on page three. Musician's Ball, Convention Hall, November 13. AN APPRECIATION OF WORK. Iola, Kansas.—My heart was made to rejoice on last Wednesday night whe na dozen or more young men (my friends) came to the parsonage and so pleasantly surprised me.

ADVOCATE LOSES TO Y.M.C.A. Before a large crowd Western University football team lost to The Paseo Y. M. C. a last Friday at Heathwood Park, 6-0. The Y boys were too weighty for the W. U. students, averaging about 20 pounds to the man more. The Y boys made their only touchdown in a few minutes after the kickoff, but were unable to get near W. U.'s goal thereafter. W. U. had the ball on The Paseo's 3-yard line twice, but the big boys held, them for downs. The last quarter ended with the ball on the Y's 10-yard line. The W. U. Boys made several successful forward passes, and their weight was their only handicap. The Y had a good team, but several of them are only quarter contenders. N.A.A.C.P. Parsons Branch passed the 160-mark last Sunday. Goal is 200. It is interesting to note the progress of the Kansas branches. The race is close between Topeka, Emporia, Atchison and Parsons. Leavenworth plans on October 9, the leap into the upper ranks on the first jump. Big meeting on above date. Some of them make bold to say they will make it interesting for Kansas City, which is pessed the 1,000-mark. They have the possibilities. Bring in the proof. There is dawning a consciousness that will recognize the Negro as a man. Help it along. Anyone who subscribed for The Crisis, through the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and is not receiving it, report to the local president, G. A. Gregg. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. Topic: Standing for God and Right. Ahah asked Elijah: Art Thou he that troubleth Israel. This topic is just as full of meaning today as in the time of Moses. The one who would assist in correcting wrongs is called a stirrer up of trouble, a "muck-raker." Luther was a trouble-maker. So was Huss, Savonola, Garrison and so was the late Theodore Roosevelt. He made trouble for evil in high places. His name was cast out by many. Today his memory is honored beyond that of any American citizen. Stand for God and right The pussyfooter will say "hush!" Roosevelt's motto was like that of our topic: "Fear God and take your own part. The fearful will keep silent and let wrong prevail. They say it will run its course. No wrong has ever stopped until it has met face to face a man of courage who was standing for God and right God stands always ready to righten human affairs, but his only means of approach is through us—through you. If we waver, as far as our time and our generation is concerned, His cause is lost. Let us as Endeavorers get much out of this topic. PARSONS, KANSAS. Had an interesting visit with Rev. T.

McGLELLAND & SON, Real Estate 733 Minnesota avenue CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum had an enjoyable meeting at Metropolitan Temple Miss Bernice Scott gave good current events and Prof. Herriford, of Kansas City, Mo., gave a good sensible talk. While the writer and publicity committee does not agree with him, we have no special talent and few other things, the talk as a whole had some advice which young and old need. The writer thinks God gave us special talents, but somehow we have not cultivated all of them, and perhaps through sin we have lost out as a nation. But let us awaken and invent and keep our inventions and not be merely imitators, but really made a foundation for the future. President Hodge explained the address favorably; also Prof. Buster. They thought it good practical advice. Attorney Towers and Mr. C. Jenkins disagreed with the speaker in several things which caused the speaker to pay the women of the colored race the highest tribute. Mr. Chauncey Downs' Imperial Orchestra discoursed fine music. Let us be more dignified as the speaker urged; also not be boisterous as president Hodge urged, and cultivate our musical talent and the other nine talents God has given us. Next Sunday, November 2. Dr. Burris A. Jenkins of Kansas City, Mo., will speak at the Forum. Tell everybody and come out and crowd the Temple. Fine music will be rendered by special persons. Come at 4 p. m. Mrs. Lumpkins, 417 Nebraska avenue, has returned from a pleasant visit with Mrs. L. C. Clark, at Lawrence, Kans. She reports of having had a delightful time.
