Va.—The Lord hath done great things for us, and I am as happy as a Junebug in June or July when blackberries are ripe, and feasting in a fat patch. Of course, I am proud, and proud of what my people have accomplished from time to time, and what they are doing right now for themselves and for the cause of humanity. Ten years from now we will have thinkers who will think with the best, and whose opinions will have some weight in the affairs here. I say this because of the class of men we are turning out of the schools today, and because what they are doing for humanity. In our schools we have strong men; in our pulpits are to be found strong men; and these men are just making this go. I told you in my last letter about Dr. Robert R. Moten, and Tuskegee Institute, and about some of the visitors who were at that great conference. From time to time I have thought of these men, and the various educators, college presidents and professors in whose hand I was able to put mine, and who treated me just like I was one of them educators. If going to school will educate a fellow, then I should have my share of it, and a little over, because since January 1 I have been to public school at Clarksdale, Miss., Natchez (Miss.) college; Jackson (Miss.) college; Utica Institute, Emerson Institute, Mobile., Ala.; Tuskegee Institute, State Normal, Montgomery, Ala.; State Normal college, Nashville, Tenn.; Walden University, Nashville; Merharry Medical college, public school, Frankfort, Ky.; high school, Charleston, W. Va., and at the West Virginia College Institute, Institute, W. Va. You will have to just listen to me, for I want to tell you that this West Virginia Institute is one of the schools doing things, and bringing them about in great style. They have at the head of the college, perhaps the youngest college president in America, but a man who is well trained and knows his business, Prof. John W. Davis, who is indeed an embodiment of culture and refinement. He was selected for the position not on his beauty, not on account of the color of his hair, but because of his training, intellectual and moral worth to his people. They are doing things in this section of the country, and I am sure you will rejoice with me in that they have three members of the state genera lassembly, in the house of representatives. Thy have men filling other official positions in the affairs of state, and one man assistant state superintendent of education—in fact, we are just doing things in this state, and it is because we have been able to have in our hands a ballot and then use that ballot for self-protection. They have just had one of the helpful meetings being conducted by the schools today. Bringing together the men who are doing things, and who are helping to keep the world alive, and when they shut down their business, then I am ripe for the Kingdom of Heaven, and you will have to hurry up and shake hands with me, for I will move in a hurry when I start for that place for which I have been striving for many days, sometimes up and sometimes down, and sometimes level with the ground. It was a farmers' conference, and one of the main features discussed in these meetings was the cutting down of Tag Day FOR Douglass Hospital SATURDAY FEBRUARY 14, 1920 A WORTHY INSTITUTION VOLUME VI. the high cost of living. They have taken this burden away from my brainings and men of great minds must handle them. Mingling together for the discussion of vital questions were men of both races, including, ex-Governor Dr. Hatfield, who told it right out in church, so to speak. He made some speech, believe me, and spoke as a man to man. He paid a tribute to Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson, and painted in beauty and service the lives of Lincoln and Roosevelt. He did not dwell alone on these names, but brought it right home to us, up to date. It was a wonderful mind, and he showed that he was a friend to humanity and ever stood ready to serve those who needed service. West Virginia has produced men in the past few years, and it will continue to do so. The coming together of these men, and their discussion showed the way the wind is blowing, and believe me, when I tell you there are some trained farmers in this part of the world, trained miners, trained men in every walk of life, and this college will turn out more of them. Among the other leading lights who spoke were Dr. S. L. Jepson, head of the State Department of Health; D. M. Prillerman, Charles E. Wheeler, Attorney General E.T.England; James H. Stewart, state commissioner agriculture; N. E. Mehrie, of the state department of agriculture; C. H. Winkler, state director of vocational agriculture; A. W. Curtis, director of agriculture for the school; E. J. Perry, professor West Virginia University; Miss Gertrude Watkins, director of Home Economics West Virginia Collegiate Institute; Judge S. E. Childress, Judge S. Copenhaven, George Ewing, Miss Marion Hepworth, of the West Virginia University; and many others. I wish I had the time and space to tell you about the many speeches, the speech of Miss Watkins, formerly of Montgomery, Ala., and Miss Hepworth. They took in the home life, the child, and basic foundation of civilization. Have you ever been to Institute West Virginia? If not, I would advise you to make the trip. It is to this section of the country what Tuskegee is to our country, plus the college training. The state, of course, is behind the school, and this school year is the administration of one of the greatest young school men in the country, Prof. John W. Davis. This young man came into the world via Georgia, and got his early training in Americus, then Morehouse college, and put on his finishing touch at the University of Chicago. He was connected with Morehouse for a long time after he had finished, one of the professors there, and then he made his way to another call which he had from the Y. M. C. A., Washington, D. C. I admire Prof. Davis because he is a Christian young man, and because he believes in giving every man a fair deal. He had been at Washington but a short time and had put new life into the Y. M. C. A. there, when the call came for this place, and he came down to look it over, to talk with those in authority, and then talked with the retiring president, who urged him to accept. He has the confidence of the people and is going to make good. I have been in company with one of our great preachers in this place, the Rev. Dr. C. G. Cummins, formerly of Baltimore, and who is pastor of Simpson Memorial Methodist Episcopal church. This young pulpit giant, man of God, has made his way from the bottom up. He is a friend to hu- (Continued on Fourth Page) KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1920 KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAYs Hospital-----Tag s Program at Citi SATURDAY IS THE DAY TO WORK FOR DOUGLASS BISHOP GRANT LOOKS DOWN UPON US.

On the streets, at every door workers will be found. Not beggars, but real conscientious, God-fearing workers for this worthy, helpful and indispensable institution. Don't say no. Don't turn them away empty-handed as if you will never need scientific treatment, the service of a physician whose efficiency has been heightened and perfected by the privilege according by this institution. May I call your attention to the fact that years ago there lived, in this city, a sainted man above whom few have ever towered, whose very soul went out for this institution to the extent that a legacy was left it when he passed to the great beyond, I refer to Bishop Abraham Grant. Just this week a patient left the hospital well on the way to recovery which is due to the fact that such an institution was at hand. Hundreds of other examples could be given, but we feel it isn't necessary, for even now your sympathy has been touched and you are anxiously waiting for the solicitor to whom you are going to make a creditable contribution. We wish to thank you in advance for what you are going to do and extend to you the privilege of making a thorugh investigatoin and inspection of this worthy institution. The public will be duly informed of the amount as well as the expenditure of the proceeds gathered in this effort. Yours for a healthy body and soul, CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.

Carney, had passed away during the night, or putting it at the exact time, 1:15 a.m., no greater shock ever pushed itself upon any community. She had only been sick a week, taken with that dread "flu" which developed into double pneumonia. A trained nurse had been at her bedside for several days and it was thought the deceased was doing fine up until a late hour of that evening, when a change came for the worse. There was no teacher in Western University, that was more loved than this little woman, and was it not only so there, but every place where she was known. Her scholars worshipped her, and were ever ready to respond to any call she made upon them. Another sad feature of her death: none of her relatives were here. She did not have the opportunity to say good bye to that mother who had often fondled, caressed and lullabyed her to sleep, or that father who so dearly loved and cherished her, and the sister and two brothers whose ties of many years of association had been broken. The life of this noble woman, showed at the funeral rites, that her entire life had been of service. She had been a teacher for twenty-five years, of voice culture, serving for a number of years at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo.; Topeka Institute, Topeka, Kansas; and was on her second year at Western University. The very sad funeral was held Sunday afternoon at First A. M. E. church, of which she was a member and chorister of the choir. The resolutions and eulogies were many and beautiful. Professor Moten, represented Lincoln Institute of Jefferson City, Mo., and Professor Freeman, represented the Topeka Institute, of Topeka, Kansas. Miss Holmes, of Western University, and her roommate read resolutions from Western University. Professor French represented First A. M. E. church. Mrs. Ellis read resolutions from the choir. Mrs. M. A. Davis represented Class No. 7, of which she was a member, and Lawyer Calloway represented Fisk University, of which she was a graduate. The full student body were present and their chorus assisted in the musical numbers, under a most heavy strain. the choir she had learned to love sang their last sad notes to her. Miss Mabel Jackson sang a beautiful and touching solo; also Mr. Alex. Gatewood with his sweet tenor voice. President F. Jesse Peck spoke of the character and efficiency of this ideal womanhood, and the great loss to the school and humanity. Dr. J. F Griffin, her pastor, of whom carried a heavy heart, delivered the funeral sermon. It was simple and touching, as there was hardly a dry eve in the large assemblage, when he finished and in viewing the remains some had to be carried to rest rooms. Mrs. Dunn, her sister, was here, and accompanied the body back that evening to her home at Nashville, Tenn., where interment was made. The floral offerings were lovely many being sent in from out of the city. CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum will meet at 4 p. m., at Metropolitan Temple Sunday afternoon.

KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. WESTERN: INKLINGS The Grand Old Fifth Episcopal District, led by that noble chieftain, Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, of whom there is none to be found more honest in his spiritual, moral and financial dealings with his church and race, for during the ten years he has presided over the destinies of this district he has never permitted one cent of the church's money to pass through his hands other than in the manner provided and directed by the letter and spirit of the book of discipline, whatever else may be said by his critics this must be admitted. His ten years of administration over the 5th Episcopal District will stand the closest inspection; and in growth and prosperity it has no parallel—the 5th is practically unanimous for the election of Dr. J. R. Ransom to the bishopric by the forthcoming general conference of the great A. M. E. Connection. There is not a general officer and only two living bishops, B. T. Tanner and B. F. Lee, whom Dr. Ransom has not assisted in their elevation. For thirty-five years his life has been a benefaction to others. The Kansas conference of which he is an honored member, the largest conference in the 5th District, is a unit in its appeal to the bishops, general officers and delegates to the forthcoming general conference to elect Dr. J. R. Ransom to the exalted office of the bishopric: First, because he measures up to the full standard of the New Testament Scriptural requirements as found in 1st Tim. 3rd Chapter, and the first seven verses; and in Titus I Chapter 7, 8th and 9th Verses. Second, because in all his long and many years of service he has given himself wholeheartedly to the building up of the Kingdom of Christ under the banner of African Methodism, and the uplift of his race. No night too dark, no storm too severe, no sacrifice too great, for him to brave for his church and race. This also can be said of him—he is true to his friends and charitable to his foes. Third, the Kansas conference, although the largest of this group, has never had a general officer or a bishop. We helped all three of the Missouri conferences in securing the election of bishops J. C. Embry and H. B. Parks; and of Dr. P. A. Hubbard, J. Frank McDonald and J. C. Caldwell as general officers. Now we ask that the connection join with us in giving to Kansas her first place of honor which she so much deserves in the church. Our candidate has stood at the capitol of this great state as the spokesman and representative not only of his race, but for justice and fair play to all; preventing segregation, and jim-crow laws from being placed on the statute books, without reward or compensation other than the satisfaction is duty well done. He is a true defender of righteousness before the bar of public opinion and a staunch supporter of the manhood rights of the race in and out of season. He is beloved, honored and respected by all of the best citizens of our commonwealth, and is called in council by governors, congressmen, senators, educators, ministers and many other leaders in the civic structure of society. The people of Kansas, regardless of race, color or creed, unite in urging the election of Dr. J. R. Ransom to the bishopric. REV.HENRY ALLEN BOYD TO JAPAN Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 3.

NUMBER 28. ```markdown ``` DOUGLASS DRIVE TO CLOSE WITH ENTERTAINMENT The Douglass Hospital drive, which is to start tomorrow, will close next Wednesday, evening February 18th, 1920, at First A. M. E. church with a Douglass program, given by Professor King's night school scolars. Great preparation has been made to make it one of the most successful and entertaining programs that has been given for a long time, and for what its proceeds are for, the house is expected to be filled to its full capacity No one should refuse to buy a ticket for this much needed cause. BISHOPS' COUNCIL; MIDNIGHT THERE The Bishops Council of the African Methodist Episcopal church will convene in session tomorrow, Saturday, February the 14th, in Baltimore, Md. The one attractive feature of this session is the multiplicity of men of the church coming from all parts of the country, who are candidates for the some office at the next general conference that is to be held in St. Louis next May. The wolds are full of them, and the brush will be cracking with the most of them when it is over. Kansas has her candidate in the person of Rev. J. R. Ransom, who is seeking the highest office in the gift of this great church, the Bishopric, and he is there among the many other candidates. Many good and brilliant thinkers are making the fight of their life to corrall enough votes to carry them over the mole hill, as some seem to imagine, but this mole hill, by the time the conference sets, will have grown into a mountain. Col. J. O. Midnight. The. Advocate's traveling representative, is on the ground, and when he gets through looking them over, he will give through the columns of this paper about who is riding in the swiftest air plane. URBAN LEAGUE OF KANSAS CITY On last Friday at 4:30 p. m., in The Paseo Y. M. C. A., Mr. T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Chicago Urban League, met the following gentlemen from the two cities: F. A. Harris A. T. Mitchell J. J. Allen C. A. Franklin C. A. Grant G. A. Gregg J. A.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES At 11 a. m., many persons, interested in where they shall spend eternity, came to this Temple of God. The Boy Scouts and their Scout Master, Prof. Mowbray, attended in a body. Pastor Holmes did not preach them a special sermon this time, but preached from II Kings, Chapter 2, and 19th verse, "Where is the God of Elijah?" The God of Elijah is Elisha's God and our God. Told of the blessings obtained by secret prayer; also how Elijah prayed alone in a cave and God answered in a still small voice; told of Paul spending two years in Arabia alone with God. At the close of the sermon, he led the congregation in singing, "Amazing Grace." It seemed like heaven was nearer when all praised God in song. The choir sang, "Let the stranger in," and several joined the church. Deacon Taylor had the corresponding secretary take names at his table and the recording secretary took names at the other table. The Boy Scouts were asked to act as ushers and brought hundreds of envelopes to the deacon's table. Many were laid on the other table. Mrs. Frances B. Watson made an earnest talk and read her letter where she is notified to start from here Tuesday night and set sail from New York, February 14, for Africa. She was given many Christian prayers and $23 for foreign missions. Prof. J. P. King made a fine plea for a crowded house at the Night School concert Wednesday night. Next Sunday, February 15th, other soul-touching sermons will be preached by this wonderful apostle of Christ. Come out and give vent to your feelings. Shout aloud God's praises, if it is sincere. Come! Birthday Party Mrs. Hattie Hulsey was hostess at a surprise birthday party, given in honor of Mr. Wiley Hulsey at his residence, 250 North Mill street, Sunday, February 8th.

CHURCH NEWS A more beautiful February morn, has one seen, than when the sun, with its sparkling rays arose from its night slumber in the East, dispersing from the earth darkness and giving cheer, joy and happiness to all kingdoms of life, which so beautifully shone out last Sunday morning. But as she traveled towards the end of her day's journey, gloom and shadows lowered beneath its smiling path which brought sprinkling tears from its weeping eyes. So was it true with the members of First A. M. E. Church, and its friends. There had been taken away from this church and congregation just on Thursday that sunshine that ever shone, with such brilliance and power that gloom and shadows had no place to tarry about this dear and lovable little sunshine, Miss Carrie M. Carney, sweet singer and choirster of this church. Miss Carney had only been with us about a year, and she had endeared herself into the hearts of every member of its one thousand communicants and scores of others in our community since her stay with us. Her entire being was consecrated to service for the good of humanity. She showed and demonstrated by her work, that failure in whatever she undertook was unknown to her. She had developed this choir until it stood in a class alone in all this Western country. She believed in standing at the top in anything she placed her hands too. Working all day with her classes at Western University, and then coming in here at night for choir rehearsal. At least once a week, and many times oftener, and never missed a service on Sunday on special occasions. As once was said in these columns of her, when directing the choir, with her arms gracefully extended, with white robe and winged sleeves, she looked like an angel, and now she is a real angel, singing the songs of Zion in that Heavenly choir above. The pastor and his entire membership, with its many friends, are only able to express themselves in a feeble way, in words of consolation and sympathy to the family, when they sav she was loved by all. She will ever be missed by us, and her sweet voice and smiling face will live in our hearts down through the ages of time. While there was a large audience out Sunday and Dr. Griffin delivered a splendid sermon, the heavy hearts of the congregation could not take into their souls the real essence of the Spirit as usual. On one of the front pews at the end a bunch of black crepe draped the seat where Sister Ruth Collins occupied for many years, and in the choir loft a chair was draped with white ribbon, the place where the choirster, Miss Carney had occupied for a year, up to less than ten days, and whose funeral was to be in the afternoon, and whose voices she had developed after months of toil and hard work and loved to hear, would sing over her bier, while she slept beneath them, among the flowers, with ears deaf to their once loved notes. It was too much for them to bear. And their hearts could not stand it longer, when they gave away under the heavy strain. The annual Fork and Knife banquet that has been so popular for several years, will be held this year on March 31. Some speaker of national reputation will head the program. The pastor will fill his pulpit Sunday and you are invited to be present and share the blessing therefrom. You are ever welcome. Mrs. Adel Link, 1409 North Tenth street, is on the sick list. Ethel M.

(First publication Jan. 16, 1920.) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE A SAINTED OTHER GOES TO HER REST The funeral of Mrs. Ruth Collins was held last Friday afternoon at First A. M. E. Church, of which she had long been one of its most ardent and hard-working members. A large concourse of her friends from Missouri and Kansas were present to show their respect at the last rites of this good woman. Many telegrams and letters were received from various places, showing their regret and sympathy to the bereaved. A letter from her former pastor, Rev. J. R. Ransom of Wichita, was read, speaking in the highest terms of her Christian life, and regretted it was impossible for him to be present. The resolutions read from the different departments of the church and state organizations were many. Her two sisters, who live in Missouri, were unable to attend the funeral on account of severe illness in their families. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Dr. J. F. Griffin, her pastor, delivered the funeral sermon, which was an easy task. He was assisted by Rev. D. A. Holmes of Metropolitan Baptist Temple, Rev. J. C. C. Owens, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, Leavenworth, and Rev. G. E. Horsey, pastor of Ward Chapel, Kansas City, Mo. The funeral was in charge of Mr. Nathan Thatcher, and interment was made in Woodlawn cemetery in the family lot. Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church (Rev. M. C. Knight, Pastor) Sunday, February 8, being set apart as young people's day, at 10 a.m., the Sunday school opened the service for the day. At 11 a.m., the pastor ascended the rostrum and chose as his text Matt., 16:18. The latter part of the verse, "Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Subject, "The Perpetuity of the Church." As usual, the speaker was at his best, and the hearts of his hearers were made to rejoice by the earnestness of the discourses, as he illustrated and explained the meaning and duties of the church. How it touches every part of man's life: also referring to the church as a school in which we must learn the knowledge and service of God. Closing by appealing to the loyal sons of Allen to stand by the old church, which has as its cardinal principle: "God, our Father; Christ, our redeemer; and man, our brother." The Young People's meeting at 3 p.m. was led by T. H. McMillan, president of the League. A very interesting and instructive paper was read by Mrs. C. Brown; subject The A. M. E. Church, a Potent Factor in the Race's Uplift. Also a very brilliant address by Mrs. James Marshall and other 5-minute addresses, which throw much light on the subject. The solo by Miss Allen was enjoyed very much; and others who participated on the program. At 7:30 p.m., the program was continued. After the opening service Rev. Densmore gave a short address, after which we were favored with a solo by Mrs. Marie Burke. The discussion. A Worth-While Life, was led by Mrs. R. E. Knight, then followed addresses by the Rev. Carter. Zacharias and others on the subject. Symposium, Training the Church for the Future, led by F. M. Daniels, was a masterpiece and showed much study and research. Thus closes the first anniversary of Young People's Dav in the history of our church, and it will be long remembered by the sons and daughters of Allen in this community. We are sorry that so many were sick and could not attend these excellent services. Next Sunday our pastor will continue the series, "The Joy and Sorrow of a Christian Life." Come and hear him. Rev. J. J. Watson and St. Mark. The Allen League had a big meeting. Mrs. Jackson delivered the welcome address. Mrs. Mary Fisher, president, sang a solo. Mr. Roy Hardy, vice-president, presided. Address, "Life Worth While," G. A. Gregg, conference president of A. C. E League. A choir of girls rendered good music. Rev. Watson made entertaining remarks. Rev.

Right by his side is his wife, who is not only a wife, but a trained wife at that, and she is a worker among the women. She is a help to her husband, but I am sorry to say at this writing she is sick in bed. Rev. Cummins has served some of the important charges in his connection, and has been district superintendent. Being a member of the Washington conference, I feel that the members of the conference will recognize his service and worth at the annual conference soon to meet in John Wesley, Baltimore, and send him to the general conference. Just the thing to do. God bless them all.

PARLORS, 910 NEBRASKA AVE., KANSAS CITY, KANSAS We Teach the French System. Call and see us During the month of February, our Nation delights to honor the memory of many of our departed "heroes." Among them are the first and sixteenth presidents, whose birthdays are celebrated on the 12th and 22nd, respectively. During these troublous times we are led to think often of these two great men who did so much for the freedom of our country. The words spoken of Washington, "First in War, First in Peace, and First in the Hearts of His Countrymen," have come to us many times during the recent war. To his perseverance, courage, patience and prudence, are the American people greatly indebted for their "independence," which was secured by a treaty of peace in 1783. At Mount Vernon, in a tomb, lie the remains of our noble Washington, and the "Ladies Mount Vernon Association" design to preserve everything about the house as it was at the time of his death, thus making it attractive as a place of perpetual resort in the future. An article from the pen of Lincoln follows: At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track in the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the ap- --- TUBERCULOSIS It was when physicians said it was impossible for J. M. Miller, Ohio Druggist to survive the ravages of Tuberculosis, he began experimenting on himself, and discovered the Home Treatment, known as ADDI LINE. Anyone with coughs showing tubercular tendency or your name attached to your body, OLYMBRIS, OHIO proach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reaches us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we must live through all time or die by suicide. I hope I am over wary; but if I am not, there is even now something of evil omen amongst us. I mean the increasing disregard for law which peravdes the country — the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions in lieu of the sober judgment of courts, and the worse than savage mobs for the executive ministers of justice. The answer is simple. Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well-wisher of his posterity, swear by the blood of the revolution never to violate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to tolerate their violation by others. Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in the schools, in seminaries and in colleges; let it be written in primers, in spelling books and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpits, proclaimed in legislative halls and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.—Abraham Lincoln. If you know the number of your voting precinct these days, you are to be numbered with the man who can tell the age of Ann.
