I know that there are many of our men who would like to eat at the political pie counter, and some of them are going to eat, but in the name of God I want to first appeal to President Warren G. Harding, and the Republican party in the interest of my people in this state and other states where they openly defy the Constitution of the United States and just count themselves into election or into office without election. I think it is a heluva comeoff when the Constitution of the United States gives every American the right to exercise the franchise and there are some men because their skins are white or call themselves white men will in the face of that document deny some people theright to vote and if they insist on it shoot them down like they were out rabbit hunting. How long will things like this be carried on in our country? I have faith in President Harding and his party, and believe that it will soon come to its timely death, and every man will be recognized on merits. Perhaps it will not be too late for me to tell you some of the horrors in this state but not now. I would like to tell you how Rev. Herndon, an old minister of the A.M.E. church, was taken from the train and beaten almost to death, because he dared to teach women of his race how to vote. He is a man of some standing. The conductor on the train slowed up so they could get him off, and then went on his way rejoicing, declaring the Negro would be taught that this is a white man's country. I think that this country is going to come to grief at the hands of this white man. I thank God that I am not a white man. That my people are not vindictive, but we possess the Christian spirit and we are willing to pray, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." I don't want to be equal to the white man in the slaughter of human beings, in cheating people out of their franchise and because of his superior numbers and other advantages impose upon the weak. God is not dead and I am willing to trust Him. I think more of God than I do of a gun, although it is nice at times to have a gun at hand. There is something in it that will make the other fellow show you a little respect at SEVENTH ANNUAL FORK H FIRST A. M. Eighth Street and THURSDAY, M NOTICE WHO ANNUAL KNIFE CHURCH. PRO ETHODIST MINISTER IS GRAIN IN FLORIDA LY BEATEN White Man Soon Will Be- ve, and 'Do Away With Du Klux Klan, Which ting in the South times, In some towns in Florida, in order to keep my people from voting and to intimidate them the men who called themselves Klu Klux Klan or something like that paraded the streets with their guns ready to shoot down, it is supposed, but I do not know. I pray thee white men, do away with the Klu Klux Klan, for it means building up a larger population in hell than ever before, and it means more people going to Heaven. It means the shedding of blood, and the taking of human life. It means widows and orphans. It means lawlessness and criminality. For the love and respect you have for your family and what I have for mine, I pray you to cut it out and do it right now. The Negro has had his nap and is now wide awake, and ready to meet a good morning or evening, day or night. I do not believe in race strife, and I want every man to live and live as long as God will permit him to live.

There, Besides Many I are Prospering—De- to Other Cities in Dear Editor: Any person or party traveling with Prof. J. R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A.M.E. church as host, may be assured of all the comfort and modern convenience to be had. Through his untiring efforts our trip into Texas was made doubly comfortable. The personnel of the party was good; a more congenial set of men could not have been gotten together anywhere. Texas is a great state; the people are good entertainers. Doctors Peck, Vaughn, of Western University, and Butler, of Kentucky, and myself were royally entertained at the home of Rev. Featherstone, a retired minister of the A. M. E. church. His good wife spared no pains in making it pleasant for us. The church in which the council was held is of recent construction. It is a magnificent building, in all of its opportionments. A credit to any denomination, in any city in the country. Dr. Abington and his good people are to be commended for the erection of such a building. Our racial group own some fine homes, which are situated on some of the more prominent streets of the city. My stay in Denver was of interest to me. I had the opportunity to see much of its greatness; come in contact with many of our people; saw them in their businesses, in their homes, and in their civic work for the advancement of the city. A few of the notable gatherings attended might be mentioned. We were, by special invitation, present at a meeting of the men's club of the Church of the Holy Redeemer. It was their monthly meeting. It was an intellectual feast. The main address of the evening was delivered by that princely scholar and churchman, the Rev. W. H. Thomas, D.D., pastor of Shorted A. M. E. church. The address was replete with literary beauty, embellished with a logical reasoning that drove home to the hearts of those present the very apt and important thought: "What does your city mean to you?" A most appetizing repast was served. On Sudnay afternoon I had the pleasure of visiting the Y. W. C. A. meeting. A magnificent building has been purchased, the best I have seen anywhere, by the "Y" and the people are justly proud of it. Here we listened to a program of much interest and importance, and by request said a word. The meeting evidenced that the city has a large number of women who are deeply interested in the protection of the girlhood of the city. The services at Shorter on Sunday were good and inspiring, Among the many commanding features of the day was the renditions of LOOK! - PROF. R. G.

Race Enterprises That enver Sets Example of Race Businesses the choir, under the direction of Mrs. Zachery. Just the mention of her name is enough to assure the best that can be had in the musical world. The congregation is a working one and the good pastor has no trouble in getting results. Here are some of Denver's race enterprises that have come under my observation: Five realty and investment companies two oil brokers, two drug stores, two undertaking companies, one up-to-date grocery company, building and stock owned by the Howard Brothers, value of building, $10,000; five tailoring establishments, two millinery companies, one fire department, Y. W. C. A. Phyllis Wheatley Center, second to none in the West, a large spacious house with a housing capacity of twenty, and a cafeteria therein, a Y. M. C. A., a splendid building; bright prospects for a newly equipped building in the near future; one club house and day nursery, bought by the club women of the city. The home of the American Woodmen, one of the largest race enterprises in the world. The supreme office is located here, and occupies the entire fifth floor of the Arapahoe building, located at 1622 Arapahoe street. The supreme clerk, Mr. L. H. Lightener, has an office force of twenty efficient clerks, bookkeepers and stenographers. The company has upward of $60,000,000 insurance written, $1,000,000 paid in benefits, and a membzership of upward of 80,000; five physicians and surgeons; three lawyers; two dentists; one deputy sheriff; six policemen; one juvenile officer; one school attendance officer, with many other clerks and peace officers employed by the state, too numerous to mention. Taxicab lines, six in number ranging from two to six cars to the line. Denver is fast coming to the front in the business world. Many other cities might profit by her example. J.F. GRIFFIN. A PROGRAM OF COLORED The Metropolitan choir, directed by Mrs. Ida Wood, gave a concert Sunday evening at the church. The solos and choruses by colored composers, were listened to by a large congregation and several visitors. Many hope Mrs. Wood will later give some Bible oratorios at the church. Metropolitan church auxiliaries have purchased more silver sets and they took communion last Sunday. - LOOK! BIS CONCERT COMPANY PEAR AT A. M. E.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. THE NEGRO IS STAYING NORTH While there are hundreds of colored men out of employment in the two Kansas Cities, who only have been here for a few years, coming, the majority of them, from the south, but being out of work is no terror to drive them back to the Southland again. They will tell you the North is their preference, employed or unemployed, and they feel satisfied conditions will soon adjust themselves and idle days will soon be something of the past. Some who have returned from visiting their relatives in the South say many there are preparing to emigrate North and West at the earliest opportunity. The president of Liberia is now in Washington, seeking a loan of $5,000,000 for his country, with which to purchase machinery for industries. It is asserted that Liberia can produce enough canned goods, with proper machinery, to supply the world, and at prices lower than the domestic product. The loan, if made by the United States, will be secured by a lien on the import and export duties of the country. At present Liberia is indebted to the United States in the sum of about $8,000,000, a small sum, comparatively, as the country is prosperous. TRUSTEE BOARD MEETS The trustee board of Western University was in session Wednesday. Bishop H. B. Parks, president and ex-officio chairman of all committees presided. The meeting was well attended by members representing the various conferences. The report of the president, F. Jesse Peck, showed the school to be in splendid growing condition. The board took action on a number of important things for the development of the school. The foundation for the new annex at Ward Hall, is about completed. It will be built of blue limestone coming from the school's own quarry. The building, when finished, will be four stories and will accommodate something like eighty students. Those attending were: Bishop H. B. Parks, president; Rev. M. S. Bryant, vice-president; Rev. J. R. Ransom, treasurer; Rev, J. F. Griffin, secretary; Rev. P. C. Crews, Rev. W. Brooks, Rev. J. C. C.

At the close of the services he received many warm words of congratulation on his sermon. Rev. J. W. Reed, one of the church's local ministers, delivered an earnest spiritual message, at the evening service. It was greatly appreciated by his hearers. The Sunday school had its usual inspiration from the superintendent down to the kindergarten class. The orchestra under Prof. Wise, has added to its already strong musical body another violin and a drum, now having eight pieces. The Allen League had a fine program at 6 p.m. The League under the presidency of Miss Haynes, is the best and the largest in attendance that has been seen for many years. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, returned Wednesday morning from his vacation and every one was glad to see him. He is looking well and he says he is feeling better than he looks and the trip was one of pleasure and inspiration. This Sunday is quarterly meeting. Rev. A. C.

Taylor sang a classic solo and was encored. She was accompanied by Mme. Sommers, one of our finest pianists. Prof.' Scruggs read the critique.

Cook of Lincoln High School, Sunday Subject, Present Industrial Resolution Our Opportunity. SUMNER NIGHT SCHOOL GIVES FINE PROGRAM Sumner Night chool chorus and the public speaking class, by request, gave a program at the Centennial M. E. church, Kansas City, Mo., Thursday night. The church was crowded and encored the fifty voices in classical and folk songs. The ladies quartet and men's quartet received two and three encores. The Caruso of the night school is Mr. Jackson who sings mostly classics. The public speaking class also did well, and some received encores and all received praise. They are invited to other churches and to Lawrence and Leavenworth, if they can go after their school term closes. H. F. SCHAIBLE H. F. Schaible comes before the voters for the office of Commissioner of Streets. Mr. Schaible is among the old citizens of this city and is one of its successful business men, running a grocery for many years at the corner of Third street and Everett avenue, and has made many substantial friends among all classes. He is a member of the Grocers' Association and has the highest respect of every member and no doubt they will support him to a man; also use their influence towards his nomination and election. Mr. Schaible, if elected, will make a splenlid city official and give to the city the best service possible. AN UNIQUE DRIVE Bethel A. M. E. church has put on a drive for one dollar from every African Methodist and friend in Kansas City. Watch for rally day notice. W. B. JOHNSON. Pastor. The J. C. Branch & Co. real estate firm at 1314 North Fifth street, that opened up last week, has started off with every encouragement for a nice business this year. The company feels confident the business will come, as they expect to give everyone a square deal. Mrs. Calhoun, who lives at 928 Oakland avenue, arrived home last week from a three months' vacation. All her friends were glad to greet her. Mrs. Annie Arch, who is on the sick list this week, is feeling much better at this writing. HANK and PETE DR. R. B. GRIMES MAKING NEW FRIENDS FOR CANDIDACY Dr. R. B. Grimes, candidate for mayor, is making many new friends in his campaign. Like many another business man, Dr. Grimes is not an adept at the usual politician's camouflage, but convinces the people he met that he is in earnest, and in seeking the office is only attempting to further the cause of a bigger and better Kansas City. Dr. Grimes' membership on the city planning commission has given him an insight into the needs of the city, and should he be elected will prove an invaluable man in the coming large civic improvements contemplated. J. R. WIMMER FOR STREET COMMISSIONER J. R. "Jack" Wimmer, candidate for street commissioner, is one of the candidates in the race, who will know just what to do without asking, should he happen to be elected. While mayor of Rosedale, Mr. Wimmer had occasion to be instrumental in paving Southwest boulevard. Service mains of the gas and water companies were laid so that the pavement need never be dug up and the boulevard today is in as good shape as the day it was laid Unlike many officials he worries about his work for the municipality as if it were his personal business He will make a good man for the place. BURTON MEETING WITH ENCOURAGEMENT Harry B. Burton, candidate for mayor, is meeting with a great deal of encouragement from the citizens of the city. Mr. Burton is well known as a man who takes his duties seriously and has been known to go to a great deal of trouble to remedy some little thing other men would have let go. Mr. Burton especially is receiving support from those citizens who want a man for mayor who will place civic welfare above personal gain or popularity, either for himself or for others. Mr. Burton will make a strong race. Senator Ridgway was seriously injured one day last week when a car he was driving in Topeka ran wild and struck a telephone pole. A Missouri Pacific passenger conductor asserts that he ran all the way from Atchison to this place with but 22 passengers on his train. As nobody is working, nobody is paying high fares to ride. A few more millions, Uncle Sam! The Senior choir of First A. M. E. church gave a concert last Friday evening at St. Paul A. M. E. church, Argentine, giving all the proceeds to the church, not even taking out street car fare. A Christian spirit, members. Mrs. J. C. C. Owens, the splendid wife of that pioneer Christian minister of the West, Dr. J. C. C. Owens, who has been quite ill at her home, 1914 North Sixth street for several weeks, is slowly regaining her lost strength. The many admiring friends of this noble woman will be greatly pleased to know of her growing vitality. Prof. Shelton French, vicepresident of Western University, has been confined to his home on Michigan avenue for several days with a severe attack of illness. His friends everywhere regret very much to learn of his physical condition, and will be made to feel glad, when he is restored back to his normal health.

When I took my pen in hand to write to you last week, I was at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La., and when I got through writing I had been to Opolusis, Bayou Sara, New Orleans, Mobile and then to this place, not feeling well, but fighting with them disease germs, trying to get rid of them before they get rid of me. Dr Conrad put them on the run, and I stopped in to see Dr. H. Roger Williams, of Mobile, who kept them going, and I am feeling better today, but not well, and don't you think that I am well. I want to remain in this world until after the next general conference, for I want to see Dr. J. C. Caldwell, Dr. A. L, Gaines, and Dr. John A. Gregg elevated to the episcopacy. They are deserving men, and I think that they will get what belongs to them. I am praying in that direction at any rate, and I am going to keep their names be- Sleep is just as necessary to health as food. The ability to sleep depends on the condition of the nerves. Dr. Miles' Nervine insures a good night's rest. It will help any nervous condition from sleeplessness to epilepsy. Your money back if the first bottle fails to benefit you. You'll find Dr. Miles' Medicines in all drug stores THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Of course, you know Dr. A. L. Gaines; for he has been a worker in his church, and the same is true of Dr. Caldwell, and both of them are my friends. There are others, but these are the men I am interested in now and will be until the end of my time. The Supreme Chancellor, the Supreme Worthy Counsellor, the General of of the Uniform Rank, S. W. Green, Ernest G. Tidrington, R. R. Jackson, Grand Chancellor of Kansas, Dr. S. H. Thompson, and Grand Worthy Counsellor of Kansas, Mrs. Norene Davis, have all been to Topeka, together with General Thomas Kennedy; and inspected the plans for holding the next supreme lodge of Kansas and they are satisfied, and now the committees of the state will get right down to work in earnest, and get things in shape for the meeting. All homes will be arranged, guests will be assigned, and things put in apple pie order and you may depend on this. The Fair Ground is an ideal place for the encampment, and of course you are going to be out there. I am going to tell you all about the plans from time to time. I will not tell you how these people were treated, and they had an opportunity to shake hands with Jack Johnson, and exchanged a few words with him. There are to be some big doings in the West. The National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress will meet with Dr. S. W. Bacote, in Kansas City, Mo., and they are going to have some meeting there, believe me, honey. 'Already they have things in apple pie order and the Baptists are getting ready to go to the meeting. Dr. Bacote notified me that I am to stop at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tilford Davis, and you know Mr. Davis is some poet, and he is going to give me poetry for dinner, breakfast and supper and I will have to leave just a little space for Sunday school gospel. I will have to bring this letter to a stop this week. Look out for y next one. You keep your eye on me. J.O.MIDNIGHT. Some one has been sending Billy Bird letters threatening his life if he does not resign. Billy will quit when he gets good and ready, according to the latest dope, and that will be when his term of office expires. "I hope to see more of you," he said, acknowledging an introduction. She looked down at her modish skirt, cut before it was ripe. "Wait until next summer," she explained. "My bathing suit is full two inches shorter than this skirt." A problem some folks are interested in: If this year women's fashionable skirts are four inches shorter than they were last year and the yokes in the dresses are two inches lower than a year ago, how long will we have to wait till the two lines meet and Eve with her figleaf girdle is backed off the boards? FREE COURSE IN HAIR AND BEAUTY CULTURE a MOTHER GREEN DIES AFTER SHORT ILLNESS Mrs. Mary Green, living for twenty-three years at 1612 N. Eighth street, passed away at Douglass hospital Thursday at 9:30 p. m., after a few days' illness, having a stroke of paralysis about a week before her death. "Mother" Green, as she was honorably known, was born in Virginia and while a small child her parents moved to Missouri, she coming to Wyandotte some twenty-three years ago. Her husband was killed in the Civil war, but owing to the loss of her husband's discharge, papers she never was able to obtain a pension. She was a devoted Christian and had long been a member of the First A. M. E. church. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 2 p. m., Rev. Alex Jones, assistant pastor, officiating. The known relatives living are one sister, Mrs. Mack, White Church, Mrs. Myrtle Jenkins, granddaughter, and one great-granddaughter, Leona Jenkins, of the home. The relatives have the sympathy of a host of friends. The Daily Kansan is offering to run "position wanted" ads for men out of work. It is distinctly understood, however, that this does not apply to candidates for various city offices, or to Federal office holders who feel they will soon be without a meal ticket. DAVISON ON CARE OF THE HEALTH Washington, D. C., March 9.—"What the worker wants to know is the truth about venereal diseases," said E. C. Davison, secretary of the International Associations of Machinists, in his talk before the conference recently held in New York under the auspices of the United States Public Health Service and the Amereican Social Hygiene associa- "A venereal disease is nothing short of a calamity to a worker, because it affects the creative impulse which is the laborer's greatest asset. And, after all, the worker pays the price in money and in health. The industry may provide the necessary medical treatment and give information about the diseases to its employees, but the industry can pass on the cost of these measures to the consumer of its products. Because the laborer must pay the price, he wants to know the facts, and for this reason the International Association of Machinists and other labor organizations are gladly cooperating with the government in an effort to get correct information about these diseases before their members." Both Mr. Davison and Mr. Fred Hewitt, editor of the Machinists' monthly Journal, attended the conference. Mr. Hewitt spoke of the publicity which is being given by the Journal to the campaign against three diseases. Other representatives of labor organizations present at the conference were John P. Coughlin, vicepresident of the Central Trades and Labor Council of Greater New York; Joseph S. McDonough, business agent of the Navy Yard Electrical Workers; and Samuel Squibb, business agent of the Granite Cutters union. Others who expressed a very definite interest are Peter J. Brady, chairman of the committee of education of the New York State Federation of Labor; John B. Andrews, secretary of the American Association for Labor Legislation, and Hugh Frayne, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor. The surgeon general of the Public Health Service says, "I am greatly pleased with the way in which the labor unions are taking hold of this campaign, as they have it in their power to give valuable assistance to the states and to the Federal service in carrying on this work." Youngstown, Ohio, March 5. With wages slashed 20% in the unorganized iron and steel mills of the Mahoning valley, the mills have not resumed production. These workers were told that if wages were cut prosperity would appear, but the workers are idle. High freight rates are blamed, and all hands are called upon to start an agitation for a reduction in these charges. The R. G. Dun cigar factory forced its employees on the street because they refused to accept wage reductions and now the bosses ask for an injunction to close, the mouths of these workers. The court is also asked to order the cigar makers to refrain from visiting the homes of strikebreakers. The many friends of Rev. J. H. Richardson, pastor of Walnut Bouleyard Baptist church, were delighted to see him on the streets this week after a long spell of illness. Hear Prof. W. E.
