Kansas City Advocate

KANSAS VOLUME VI. TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. Governor Brough Gave Some Good Advice to Our People. A NEGRO HOSPITAL Arkansas Capital Has Finest Institution of the Race Little Rock, Ark—I don't understand this world and perhaps never will, so I am just going right along and do the best I can for my fellows and let the future take care of itself. People have died this year who never died before and perhaps never will die again and just who has died and who is going to die will always be considered by human beings. I am down here in Arkansas as you see this week, and I have seen some battles fought and I have touched elbows with some big men. I have heard the governor of Arkansas pour out his soul to my people. I am sure you have heard of Governor Charles R. Brough, and he is a man who speaks right out in church and has offered some advice to our people, whether in or out of order he has ofered the advice just the same, and I shall refrain from any comment at this time. He has told the people of my race to boycott a paper published in Chicago, and he was in earnest when he called upon them to do so, but in doing so he advertised the paper all the more. But let me not get off, for the last time I wrote to you I was way up youder in Virginia, but I have left there, and I am now down here. A few hours can make many change in a man, for he can eat in one state, and sleep in another, or even beat that in this age of getting around. You get out of bed in one state, wash your face in another state, eat breakfast in another, lunch in another and have dinner at 6 oclock far off from there and then move right along. I am looking for the time to come when flying machines will be as common as automobiles, and the business men and professional men will fly to their work and anchor their machines on the top of their buildings. Then I will be able to have a palatial residence in France, and make daily trips to Little Rock. I heard the closing address at the Negro Organization Society in Lynchburg. It was made by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and president of the National Negro Business League, which will meet next August in Philadelphia, Pa. He is just a man for the place and a strong believer in this race of ours. I was indeed delighted to see and come in touch with him, and see what great things he is doing. I speak of great things, and this brings to me that Dr. Moton is pleading our cause, and he is getting HEAR!! ```markdown ``` a hearing for us that perhaps could not be obtained through any other source. As long as he is doing something worth while he may expect to have vituperations hurled at his heart and head. I want him to go right on with the good work. When they got through, I went to the home of President R. C. Woods, of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, and wrote many letters, and then got myself together, so that early in the morning we were ready to beat it out of town. Now where did I go? Well, come on and make the trip with me, and I will not be long in making a landing. We rode to Bluefield, W. Va., where we got off to see a football game. I could not see any sense in them boys getting a big blatter like thing and running like they were trying to run their fool brains out if they had any in them. It was the seminary boys against that school in Bluefield, and the boys from Lynchburg did not allow them to make a score or touch them down. The girls and boys of the school of West Virginia were there to do the grunting for their team, but they got whipped out and cried cheat. You know that would be impossible, for all the men who had to decide questions of importance were Bluefielders. The next jump was to Cincinnati, Ohio, where I spent a few hours Sunday morning, and left there for Louisville, Ky., going to the home of William H. Steward, editor of the American Baptist and general all-around man. It was indeed a source of pleasure to come in touch with this intellectual giant and his family. I put my feet under his table, sent some of the good things he had into my eternity, and then beat it to church. I went to the Fifst Street Baptist church, where they have their services at 5 o'clock. Dr. John H. Frank invited me to do the talking, and we were out by 6:30, so I left at night for Memphis, where a few more hours were spent. I called on Dr. T. C. Fuller, and Howe Institute, and other friends. Precumply at 12 o'clock I was on the Missouri Pacific road iron horse carriage, headed for the place where I am writing you a few lines to inform you of my health. It was a running wagon, and I was glad to get on it. That old fellow snorted, grunted and acted like it. was going to camp to death or something else. At Wynn, Aik.. Mrs. Carrie I. Booker-Pearson, got on that same carriage headed for Little Rock, and the daughter of Dr. Joseph A. Booker. He has a wonderful family. That Robert Booker is one of the finest lawyers I have known in an age, and I am proud of him, but I must not take up time in this direction just now. Now about Little Rock, as I am here, and I could just write a week about it. There are two big meetings here this week, the Baptist State Convention and the Arkansas A. M. E. conference, and both are largely attended. The Baptists are presided over by Dr. E. C. Morris and the Methodists by B'shop J. M. Connor. The largest building in the city is the Mosaic Temple, and I am sure you know about this building, for it was erected by one of the most interesting and business organizations of the tree the Mosaic Templars of America This is an organization CITY founded by two men, who were men every inch of them, John E. Bush and Chester A. Keates, both have gone home, but their is a monument to their memory. In the great buildings, and the finest office building in the world owned by our people we see what we can do. It came from the fertile brains of Bush, who lived to see it completed and spent a short time in it and closed his eyes in death, but his sons took up the work and have been pushing it on to perfection. I am not going to be able to tell you about them, but I must mention a few of the other things. AMERICAN NEGRO WANTS NO. NEW LAWS ENACTED But Those Already In Books Should Be Enforced DR. MOTEN IS PLAIN Little Rock is full of enterprises, but I must mention one of them to show you how John E. Bush lived in the hearts of his people, for there is the John E. Bush Memorial Hospital in this town, and is modern in every particular. This is in honor of this great man, and there is a department for the training of nurses, under the direction of Miss Bessie Crenshaw, superintendent, and a refined cultured well educated young woman, and she is right by the side of the doctors and is helping the young women of her race, by preparing them for the work of nursing the sick. The hospital is organized with Dr. J. Otis Hickman, president; Dr. A. Hicks, vice-president; Dr. G. W. S. Ish, superintendent; S. A. Jones, C. E. Bush, Jesse Rodgers,' G H. Evans, W. S, Hubble, Dr. H. A. Powell, directors; Dr. J. M. Robinson, secretary-treasurer. Speaking of Dr. J. M. Robnson, he is one more busy man, and in his practice, you can get a slight idea when I tell you that he keeps a girl as office girl all day and another one at night, paying about $120 a month to our young women to keep office. I have a few cussing thoughts in my head, but I have been dealing with so much that is religious, that I shall content myself by saying "Lord forgive all of our enemies, and the white man down here who is trying to impress us that the southern white man is our best friend." I want to believe all this, because I heard the governor sav it the other day, and you must believe in the governor. Men who are battling for justice are down here, and then there are others, for I have met Rev. R. C. Ransom, who comes all the way from New York. He has a bishop bee buzzing around his ears, and he is listening to the sound. It certainly sounds good to him, hence he is shaking hands with the brethren. Dr. W. M. Thornton came down from Boston and he is hearing the same sound and to him it is sounding good. He has been in Mississippi and other points,—in fact both of them have, and they want to see Bishop Connor and his men, and see how it looks to them. Delegates who will have any say are being elected, and there is a good feeling for Dr. V. M. Townsend for the position of Church Extension Secretary. He is by training and nature fitted for the pgs ition, and has been elected to be a member of the next general conference. He is an upright Christian gentleman. When it comes to electing bishops, I don't know who is going to win, but there is some getting around now. I have seen the na mes of the men or some of them who are looking that way, such men as Revs, A. J. Coney W. Sampson Brooks, J. R. Transm A, H. Hill, A. L. Gaines, W. D. Johnson, W. A. Fountain, S. A. Williams, W. B. Brooks, W. D. Mance, C R. Trecker and a host of others. I will have to take several letters to tell you all of them, and then later I shall sift them down, and talk and talk about those who would be best fitted for the place. I must not forget Dr. J. A. @regg, who wants to go to South Africa, where he at one time served as missionary. He would make a good one for the place. I want him to go. The Baptists have held at great meeting here, but I am not in position at this writing to tell you how much mouev they have raised, but they have been doing things to a queen's taste. Many things have been going on, but I must bring this letter to a close until the next time. J. O. MIDNIGHT. NIGHT SCHOOL MAKES BIG HIT The big chorus and public speaking class of Sumner night school rendered a program at Pleasant Green Baptist church Friday night to a packed house. These two departments of the night school will give entertainments at all the churches during the winter, proceeds going to charity. ADVOCATE AMERICAN NEGROWANTS NO. NEWLAWS ENACTED But Those Already In Books Should Be Enforced DR. MOTEN IS PLAIN Speaks Out at Meeting of 3,000 People at Lynchburg, Va. Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 16.—"The American Negro is not asking for any special legislation, but the enforcement of the laws which you have already made, and for the protection of life and property, and he will make his way up or report to God the reason why," was the declaration made by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and president of the National Negro Business League, in addressing an audience of 2,000 people Friday night at the City Auditorium. It was the closing session of the Negro Organization Society and the Virginia State Teachers' Association. The Negro Organization Society was organized seven years ago by Dr. Robert R. Moton, having for its motto "Better Schools, Better Health, Better Homes, Better Farms." It was the 31st annual session of the Teachers' Association. The two bodies work side by side for the object set forth. It was fitting that Dr. Moton should deliver the closing address, and at the close, the large audience declared that he was safe and sound on the "race question" and was doing much for his people. There were many white people present, and listened attentively to the noted educator. Among other things Dr. Moton said: "I like the Negro Organization Society, because through it people have been able to talk directly and frankly to white people and through it they can say the things that are nearest their hearts to the people who have most to do with the making and execution of the laws. The time has come when we as races in the south must cease talking about each other and must endeavor more and more to talk to each other; and the time has come, also, when we must be willing to listen to each other. There never was a time when colored people and white people were more willing to talk and listen to each other more dispassionately than today. "The Negro is loyal to his country and to the south as any other group in the country, and he is loyal to the Southern people as anyone in the south and a large majority of them need the south and the south needs them, and cannot get along without them. "The south is at the beginning of an era of economic development such it has never before experienced, and it never needed the Negro more than it does today. The Negro is one of the souths greatest economic assets, and therefore it is very important for the development of the south if not for the Negro himself, that every reasonable consideration should be given that part of our population. Those who make the laws, those who interpret and execute the laws, those who mold sentiment, those who believe in right and justice and fair play owe it to themselves and to their section as well as to their country to see to it that thees black millions are made happy and contented for them selves as well as for the good of the country, and that can only be done by being fair and just in dealing with the colored people—that the laws which white people make should apply with equal force and effectiveness to black and white people alike. The Negro should have the same chance to share in the blessings and privileges of democracy as is true of every other citizen." The next session will be held in Newport News. There were a number strong addresses delivered. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, said many helpful things, and assured the people that he was fully in sympathy with them. There were many strong men who visited the meeting and had something to say. CITIZENS' FORUM The publicity committee told you when advertising the Boy Scouts' day that if you was not present you would miss it, so although it drew a very large crowd, the largest of the season, the few who were absent missed it. It was so crowded that they had to use the balcony, also. By 4:30 p. m. the ushers began to seat hundreds of people at the Forum's meeting place in Metropolitan Temple. President Hodge and Boy Scout Masters ascended the platform, and Prof. Mowbray acted master of ceremonies. After beautiful and appropriate music by the Sumner High school and Boy Scout Orchestra led by Prof. Reynolds the following program was rendered: Scouts' Twelve Laws. First Aid, by Hugh Brown. Talk, Mr. James Williams. Talk, Mr. H. Williams. Talk, Prof. A. J. Neely. Music was interspersed, then one main feature, an address by Mr. Peterson, who said our race was 100% American. Another main feature was the well prepared address by Attorney Alden. Both gentlemen were loudly applauded. Messrs. J. E. White, Anderson and Estes were introduced. The absent scout masters, Jacobs and Wilburn, were spoken of and a special tribute was paid to Mr. Eugene Vaughn, now deceased. A third fine feature was the scout oath, led by the little Jackson boy from Quirdaro. He was very loudly applauded. After the program Prof. Hodge was elected to attend and represent the Forum at the Interstate Literary, which meets in Wichita. Miss Willa Jefferson and Miss Kelly were also elected delegates. The orchestra played fine. The great crowd was highly pleased with the program arranged by the junior executive committee. 'After the cr'tique and benediction, adjourned to come next Sunday, November 30, and listen to the Lawyers' Day Program, arranged by Attorney Guy Booker. Don't miss it or the one who has been reporter for five years will say, "I told you so." COFFEYVILLE KANSAS Rev. H. H. Jones of Bethel, assisted the Rev. H.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Earnest warning against the destructive menace of Bolshevism was uttered here today by Peter W. Collins, Director General of the Reconstruction and Employment Service of the Knights of Columbus. Mr. Collins addressed the convention of the Indiana Bankers' Association. He is an expert in the labor field and was employed in that capacity by the United States Shipping Board while the war was in progress. "Common Sense is the best weapo nfor Bolshevism," says Mr. Collins. "It is the one thing most feared by Bolshevists." Mr. Collins spoke of Bolshevism as that peril is viewed from the standpoint of the workman. He declared, speaking as one who understands the hopes and aspirations of labor, that the doctrines of Lenine and Trotsky, were they allowed to take root in America, would tear down the home, destroy the family and obliterate the Labor movement. A considerable portion of Mr. Collins' address was devoted to exploding the theory that the proponents of Bolshevism represent what is called the "working class." "Not a single one of the leaders of the red autocracy ever had done any work with his hands," said Mr. Collins. He incuded in this indictment Lenane, Trotsky, Ergels, Liebnecht, Larsalle and Lefergue, as well as Max Marx. It is Marx who is credited with having originated the doctrine of Bolshevism and to him and to a few others of the chiefs of extreme radicalism, Mr. Collins attributes the strategy of the so-called intellectuals by which the true purposes of Bolshevism are concealed from the man who works behind a screen of highsounding words—words that are meaningless so far as practical application goes. "If the working man really knew what Bolshevism was, he would get away from it so fast that he would almost burn the soles off his shoes," said Mr. Collins. "Bolshevism would establish a dictatorship in the hands of one part of the people and would have this dictatorship used to gratify the particular class instinct, dividing society against itself and in reality making it a disintegrated number of forces constantly in conflict with each other. "Real evils, whether economic or social, can be remedied, for the history of al leivilization is a screis of social reforms and of economic development and progress. It is the aim of the Trade Union to help in working out the betterment of social and economic conditions. "The Trade Union movement is a working class movement with a bedrock working class philosophy not in conflict with justice or the rights of others. Its principles are just and its philosophy is sound. The Trade Union does not stand for the destruction of society. It joins society in any and every program that is for the common good." CURED HER FITS Mrs. Paul Gram, residing at 916 Fourth Street, Milwaukee, Wise, recently gave out the following statement: "I had suffered with Fits (Epilepsy) for over 14 years. Doctors and medicine did me no good. It seemed that I was beyond all hope of relief, when at last I secured a preparation that cured me sound and well. Over 10 years have passed and the attacks have not returned. I wish every one who suffers from this terrible disease would write R. P. N. Lepso, 194 Island Avenue, Milwaukee, Wise, and ask for a bottle of the same kind of medicine which he gave me. He has generously promised to send it postpaid, free to any one who writes him."—Adv. For several months the lumber mills at Bogalusa, La., have been discharging all members of the Timber Workers Union, mostly negroes, who worked there. Men known to be members of organized labor have been assaulted and in one case the home of a union man was dynamited by agents of the lumber trust. The family happened to be away from home at the time, and thus escaped injury. Returned negro soldiers had tried to organize a branch of the American Legion there, but the plan met with the opposition of the mill owners and they were refused a charter. Last Saturday a negro organizer of the American Federation of Labor was being taken to the railway station, threats having been made to murder him if he stayed in town. A man named LeBlanc, said to have served in a camp during the war, was detailed to kill the negro. In the resulting battle Le Blanc was slightly wounded, while three labor men, were killed. At last reports the lumber trust seems to have the best of the argument DARTING, PIERCING SCIATIC PAINS Give way before the penetrating effects of Sloan's Liniment So do those rheumatic twinges and the loin-aches of lumbago, the nerve inflammation of neuritis, the wry neck, the joint wrench, the ligament sprain, the muscle strain, and the throbbing bruise. The case of applying, the quickness of relief, the positive results, the cleanliness, and the economy of Sloan's Liniment make it universally preferred. 35c, 70c, $1.40.

The company is composed of artists who have been selected for their particular parts, and who can be bedepeded to provide endless fun and merriment. There is not a dull moment throughout the whole play of "The Children of the Sun" which contains many unique features, surprises and novelties. In the way of scenic investiture, the production is also well equipped and in fact every department calculated to please the most fastidious. Mrs. Mattie William, sister of Mrs. A.
