KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. Baton Rouge, La.—The world continues to move and I am trying to keep up with it, but I have not succeeded yet, because I have not been ablq to fly yet, and perhaps will never do so, but believe me, the time is coming when air flying will be as common as automobiles and men will fly to their work and perhaps take a trip up yonder and see how the departed saints are getting along. I expect to see some of the smart men making a visit to Mars and inviting the people to come down and take a meal with us. I expect to live to see the soldiers of the future fight with chain lightning and the battlefield will be so hot and unhealthy until he who fights and runs away will never live to fight another day. You will see some light-hearted society girl enter her flying machine and way behind some distant cloud where no one is allowed make love to the man in the moon. Man is going to so reduce food, that the commissory of an army will consist of a mule and a pair of saddle bags; a thousand Texas steers will be transported in an oyster can; a whole carload of cabbage in a sardine box; then our young dudes will store their rations away in the head of their canes; a man will carry a year's provisions in his vest pocket; all the men will be ball headed, the women will run our government and the end of time will be near. Are you getting ready for these things? When it comes to this education business, I am becoming some pumpkins, because I have been to so many schools, and rub my head in so many of the colleges, and been on speaking terms with so many professors and other men and women who are helping to take out the inside kinks. I wish you could see me with those well trained men and women, and hear what I have to say and how I am making my say, and you will agree with me that I am improving, and then I want you to see how I am improving on this letter writing business. I have, been to so many schools since I left Baltimore a few weeks ago, and stopped over to see Prof. Hodge in the Sumner High school, saw the young people fight the battle at the Y. M. C. A. with a great big ball. It was really manners. They called it basket ball. Of course, the best team won, and so it will be in life; the best is going to win in every game of life, and if you want to be on the winning side, then whatever you follow make yourself the best. I have told you of my visit to Langston and how I met those people down there, and I am sure that all the people who read after me were proud to know of the good work being done by Prof. J. M. Marquess, the president of the state school. He is not a man to make men fuss, but he is simply doing things, although there are many who would like to make him fail. He is not made that way. He comes from a stock that believes in success or reporting to God the cause of failure. He has a fine working force, and the young people there are seeking after knowledge and information. I want to congratulate Oklahoma on having such a strong young man. I have told you about the institution in Guthrie, the Park Sanitarium, with Dr. H. W. Conrad as manager. I told you that we had in him a great man, and the Battle Creek idea and the Mayo Brothers were combined in this one institution, and it is going to be greatly improved before the end of time. I told you about how Dr. J. Edward Perry, of Kansas City, Mo., took a woman apart, took out some foreign parts that had no busines sinside, put her together again, she is still living. I then made a trip to Muskogee, McAlister, Holdenville, Little Rock, visiting the schools there, also coming in touch with Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist college and secretary of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist convention. The next found me on the road beating it to Texarkana, Arkansas-Texas, Shreveport, La., Beaumont, Texas, back to Shreveport, then to Gibsland, La., Vicksburg, Miss., and from Vicksburg I beat it down to where I am today writing this letter. I am in the center of the universe, the center of power, the center of thought: Every institution is the center of the universe. I have been talking about institutions without telling you that I am at Southern University, which is the state school of Louisiana for the training of our boys and girls and there is a real man at the head of it, Prof. J. S. Clark. I don't know whether or not you have met this great educator. He i sa modest man, and you never find him around tooting his horn or asking any one else to do it for him, but he is just going right along getting in the hearts of 450 young people who make up the student body, and by the way, they have had to turn back over 300 because of lack of room to accommodate them. Men and women are seeking after knowledge in this age, and I am proud of it. It will do your very soul good to see them. Right by the side of Prof. Clark is his wife, who is indeed a refined, cultured woman — in fact she is one of the best trained women in our race, and she is just going right on using plain every day common English. The smallest child may understand her. She has the love of all the students and teachers at Southern. There is to be found here an array of educators. Some of the best trained men and women from some of the best schools in America are to be found on the faculty. Dr. Clark scours the country to get the best, and then they pay well. This means something and they feed well, and that means something else. I had the pleasure of staying with two of the professors of the school, Prof. Jones and Dr. B. L. Colbert. That Colbert is a man who knows how to doctor on all kinds of animals. He can locate their pains from their grunts or groans, and then cure it. He is a wonderful man and the horses, cows, mules, dogs, cats and all other kind of animals love him, because he is their doctor, and people love their doctors and the same is true of dumb brutes. Dean J. A Mitchell had just secured him a bird or bride. She is a charming young woman, and they are enjoying their honey bee now, and are as happy as a lark or something else that represents real happiness. Long may they live. I am going to have something to say about Miss Mabry, Miss Jones, Miss Brown, and all the others in another letter. Foremost in the minds of the people now is who are going to be bishops? I don't know exactly, but if I were in the betting business I would put my money up on W. Simpson Brooks, A. J. Carey, J. C. Caldwell, W. A. Fountain, John J Morant, and then I would place Revs. S. A. Williams, M. W. Thornton, and I tell you another dark horse who is like to run in the lead, although there is not much said about him, and the tis Dr. J. R. Ransom of Wichita, Kansas. He is a great mixer and has the love and confidence of his men. He is a friend to all mankind, and it is hard for men to turn down a man like that. I would put up a thousand dollars on him. But pardon me, we are talking about church matters, and such men don't bet. and I am not going to suggest it. I will try to get all the men who are running. Don't forget that Dr. V. M. Townsend is in the race for Church Extension Secretary, and he is in it good and strong. He is an able man, a young man, a trained man, and the men have their eyes on him. He made a good impression in Boltimore. I want to talk about some of our educators from time to time. I am going to have a few things to say to you about that great man, Prof. Clement Richardson, president of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. He is doing things and is a deserving man. I want that you shall know how he is doing things and the great improvements made there. I am now headed for the land of flowers. If you want to write to me send your letter care Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla. I feel that Dr. J. A. Gregg is going to be elected Bishop to South Africa, and I want to tell him good bye. He is in Jacksonville, and I am going there to see him. CAPITAL OF IOWA IN GREAT REVIVAL Des Monies, Iowa, is enjoying an unusual spiritual refreshing in the revival now going on in the St. Paul Tabernacle under the direction of all the pastors of the city, with Dr. H. Franklin Bray, the Rocky Mountain Evangelist, in charge. The ministers and people have united for a drive against sin in a way and to the extent that they have never done before and thus it is that the city is being stirred and awakened to soulwinning that means for the enlarging of the membership of each church and the cleaning up of vice and immorality throughout the city. Dr. Bray's sermons go home to the hearts of the people and get results and the slogan, "Des. Moines for Christ," is being heard everywhere. Mrs. Higglowhew, 1042 Neiw Jersey, has a very sick daughter. J. O. MIDNGHT. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1920 SPRING COATS FOR LADIES SPRING COATS IN ALL SHADES $25,00 values $18.50 A SMALL DEPOSIT WILL HOLD THEM FOR YOU THE EAGLE FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH Eighth Street and Nebraska Avenue WEDESDAY EVENING MARCH-31st,1920 SPEAKER CITY LEGISLATORS BLUNDERED ON SEDITION BILL We reprint here an article from The Marietta (Ohio) Daily Times of February 23rd. The writer being an old schoolmate and boy associate of the editor of days gone by, we are delighted to reproduce this very able article from the pen and brain of our old country schoolmate and neighbor from Ohio. We are hearing a great deal concerning the "Sedition" bill now before Congress. A great deal is being said, "Pro and Con" about this bill. The champions of this bill claim that it is necessary for the control of the "Reds" who are making trouble for the U. S. Government. The "Red Menace" is being flaunted in the faces of the people so much that in general they are becoming disgusted. What has caused all this fear concerning the danger of a few irresponsible anarchists who are foreigners to begin with, and of whom ninety per cent are Aliens who have no voice in making our laws or even voting for those who do make them? By what process of reasoning or by what logic do our legislators arrvie at the conclusion that we need more stringent laws to prevent a revolution? Why are not the federal laws that we now have sufficient to cope with the anarchists? Have we not in times past successfully defied the teachings and propaganda of the Reds and Anarchists? Why then the great danger now? Is it because our legislators have blundered and made such unwise laws that they fear the citizens of our country? If this be the case then for the sake of decency use judgment and common sense and make better laws. But all this reconstruction legislation that is being proposed in the sedition bill does not put one iota more restriction upon Red and Anarchist propaganda than the laws that we now have. If we wish to deport Peds we can do so. We can imprison or even hang them if it is necessary. The Sedition bill mentioned will not curb a Red or anarchist as effectually as it will a loyal American citizen demanding freedom of speech in just criticism. Neither in my opinion is it intended to do so. I base my presumptions upon the following facts: In the world war lately finished there were a few Americans engaged who were and are still so classed by the majority of people of our country as undesirable citizens for the simple reason that their skins are ADVOCATE Annual Knife & Fork Banquet of a darker hue than the majority of the American people. They had been branded in the land of their birth as cowards and incompetents and in their selection and classification as fighting units they were placed as obscurely as possible, yet in spite of all handicaps they achieve a name or honor of which none need feel ashamed. Other nations noticed the fact that the only American regiment to secure the Croix de Guerre as a unit was the Fifteenth New York, who were brigaded with the French troops, and this regiment was composed of American Negroes. Therefore it is not strange that after fighting to make the world safe for Democracy abroad that the Negro Race as Americans should insist that it be made safe for them at home. Also it is not to be wondered at if the race as a whole, criticize the unfair treatment accorded them in general. This the Negro Race through the representative men of their own people and their friends that belong to the white race, are doing. Their enemies realize the danger to their scheme to hold down the Negro Race and keep them in a position of semi slavery hence the strenuous efforts of those Anti-Negro propagandists to have laws passed which can be construed to hinder the progress of the Negro Race and of which the proposed infamous Sedition Bill is one. Anyone who will take the trouble to find out the provisions of the bill can see for himself that the freedom of speech is taken from the press as well as the individual and that any criticism of Federal or even State laws will be liable to cause the offender trouble. Of course we all realize that the authors and sponsors of this bill will be willing to let the white press sip through so long as they say nothing in favor of the rights of Negroes as American citizens; and also the Negro publications will be allowed to publish news, but their references to rights of individuals, especially Negroes, will have to be eliminated. This bill is aimed principally at such colored publications as The Defender of Chicago and The Crisis of New York. "The Crisis" is the official organ of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored Race. Governor Brough of Arkansas has made a solemn vow to have the publication suppressed. The bill is also for such colored men as W. E. B. DuBois and such white men as Jno. R. Shillday who was assaulted by officers of the law and driven from the statue of Texas because he was working in the interest of colored people. Now the exponents of this bill by means more vile than those employed by the Reds themselves came forth and launch their sneaking and despicable attack against the Negro THOS. KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. EVANGELIST ADAMS IS AT WARD CHAPEIA The most sensational news among the colored people of the city is that of the great revival campaign being conducted at Ward Chapel, A. M. E. Church, Twelfth street and Woodland avenue, where more than fifty persons have "hit the trail", and both attendance and enthusiasm are increasing. The tremendous success of this undertaking is evidence that a prophet may have honor in his own country, for the pastor whose work laid the foundation for this work is Dr. G. E. Horsey, who is well known and has the confidence of all the people. The evangelist is Rev. R. A. Adams, D.D., who lives at 634 Franklin avenue, Kansas City, Kansas, and who is kept so busy all over the country he seldom has time to labor at home. The campaign of enlightment conducted in connection with the religious work is having telling effect, and the lectures on Higher Eugenics, Prophylactics and Social Economics are being well received. These bear out the statement of the pastor that Dr. Adams is the most modern, best qualified and most effective evangelist the Negro race has produced. The evangelist will hold a great mass meeting for men next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and he will deliver his famous address on "Exalted Manhood", because of the urgent demands for another meeting for men. At this meeting many ministers will be present and Major N. Clark Smith will have charge of the music, furnishing a number of selections, vocal and instrumental. Also a number of men's lodges are expected to attend in bodies. PLEASANT GREEN Pleasant, Green Baptist church, Rev Geo. McNeal, pastor, starred a revival this week with the Rev. Green of Arkansas, the evangelist. Rev. Green will be here 10 days. Rev. Walker of Pine Bluff, Ark., will follow for 10 days, and the last 10 days. Rev. L. K. Walker of Chicago. All churches and pastors are invited to attend, and especially all non-Christians. Revival Meetings St. Peters C. M. E. church is carrying on a revival at Knights of Tabor hall. The Rev. Dr. Kilibrew, a noted evangelist, is in charge of the campaign, and is doing great work against sin. Souls are being added to the church. Neighborhood prayer meeingts are being held with much success. The house is crowded every night from all parts of the city, to hear this wonderful evangelistic preacher. Every church and people are invited to come and take part in these sin-killing meetings. Mrs. Mamie Miller, 837 Freeman, is slowly improving and her baby girl is able to return to school after being out some time with the measles. against a race whose unfailing loyalty to the old flag has never been questioned, a race if you please who were loyal when the flag to them was only a banner of stripes, aye, Loyal Still when well we know that no stars of glory shine there for us. The exponents of this bill see no danger for the government when a senator in the halls of Congress makes treasonable, incendiary and blasphemous statements such as has been done when a senator says—"The protection of women transcends All Law, Human and Divine" and when the women's societies call attention to the language, the exponents of the "Sedition Bill" say: "He is only talking against Niggers". Yet no Red or I. W. W. ever uttered a more treasonable insane or blasphemous statement. The enemies of the Negro Race realize that thinking and observing persons of the white race among our people as well as other nations have come to the point where they are determined to deal with the "Race Problem" in a way that will be fair to the Negro; the camouflage of the criminal Negro no longer goes as the main point of illustration, so the detractors of the race needs must fall upon something-else. The "Sedition Bill" provides them with a weapon for silencing the Negroes who cry for justice, and also one that will intimidate their white friends who demand it for them. NUMBER 33. And Please Do Not Forget, But Keep It in Mind at All Times. The experience of a couple of well dressed white women one day this week, is well worth mention. They called into my office. One of them wanted a divorce, being informed that I could perform her service, she was candid enough to say: "She thought she could appear in a better light to have a white man for a lawyer, and did not feel that she could afford to employ me." This woman was a stranger, from Fort Scott, and I did not follow her, but just happened in another, older, Colored lawyer's office shortly after that, and found her there, bowing herself out of the same situation that she fell into in my place. The above is only one of many such experiences. And without making any comments whatever, I ask of the Colored women of the community, What they think of that woman's attitude toward Colored lawyers? Also, I ask, What do they think of the HUNDREDS of Colored women, who have had, and are NOW HAVING, White lawyers in divorce, and other cases? And I do not think these questions at all unfair; and sincerely hope that some one,-or as many as will,- will have the courage and the kindness to answer. Please answer through The Advocate,-and get your matter to the editor by Wednesday morning of any week. Respectfully yours, W. H. TOWERS, Lawyer. ELECTS OFFICERS The Civic League, the only civic body in the city looking after the interest of all the people in a tangible way, held their annual election Tuesday evening at their rooms over the Home Drug Company, 1512 North Fifth street. President Rev. J. F. Griffin; Secretary Dr. A. H. Anthony, who was re-elected. Rev. D. A.

Some of the following program was rendered: Musie, Western University; Invocation, Chaplain; Minutes, Secretary; Mrisic, Western University Or- chestra. Current Events, Rev. E. S. M. Dinsmore. When Dr. G. N. Soanes’ address was called for, he declined in favor of Dr. E. A. Wilson, of Dallas, Texas, who electrified the vast audi- ence. ‘Dr. R. C. Hayden also declin- ed to speak, as some brief discussion arose as to the “orders of the day.” Prof. G. A. Curry madé a motion that Dr. Wilson be heard, anl it was car- ried. He was introduced by Mr. C. Jenkins in an enthusiastic manner. ‘A very large crowd, some in the bal- conies and most in the main audito- rium, listened to the masterly ad- dress of Dr. Wilson, the organizer of the Forum. Subject, “Our Face to the Future.” He said in part: “The Negro has no well defined back- ing. ‘The proper education is the highest training of the mind so as to master industrial and all other prop- er training for life.” Referred to Booker T. Washington, Dubois, John Brown, Fred Douglass, Lincoln, Dun- bar and Tanner. He said: “The Ne- gro needs a new emancipation.” Their problems are citizenship and commercial life. Warned those liv- ing in states where opportunities ex- ist, to not Iet them slip. Said, “God brought us into this country to make use of it’? The Southern Negro is looking to those in freer states to patrcnize each other. If we fail to free our own selves, the “New Emancipation” will fail. He paid a great tribute to Dr. D. A. Holmes in Ieading the people to erect such a fine Temple for God. Also a glow- ing tribute to Mrs. M. C. Mattnews, who was in his organization of the Forum and who he said “is still writing for it over the whole U. S ‘A. He ended by asking three t'mes “Watchman, what of the night?” Each time the response was “Amer- jean Negro look toward the future,” and in the meantime God will bring to pass “The swords shall be beaten into plowshares and Ethion‘a cho” stretch forth her hands to God.” ‘The multitude cheered at the tributes paid to the heroes and heroines of his lecture, but when he finished, the great Temple walls reverberated with three ovations. His address had encugh jolity and history to hold his audience spellbound. Western Uni- versity ochestra played fine. Some visitors present were: Dr. Bacote, Dr. Perry, Attorney Elisha Vscott of Topeka, Attorney D. Green, Mr. and Mrs, Clayborne, Dr. Vor- heis. ¥ | Come out next Sunday, March 21st Jand listen to another fine program. Prof. Curry brought several distin- “Where are you going, my pretty, maid”? “['m going to vote, kind sir,” she’ said “And will you, perhaps, give a vote to me"? “Well, that’s for you to find out”, said she, “Quije” is composed of the French: “oui” and the German “ja”, both meaning “yes”. Who says the war sn’t over? ook Young Teddy doesn’t seem as suc- exsstt in keeping his name in the papers constantly as his illustrious father. The Sims-Daniels debate seems to have churned up about as much mud as a Mississippi sidewheeler on a candbar. Governor Edwards of New Jersey and William Jennings Bryan seem to disagree about whether Democrats deserve the nickname of “Bourbons”.

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS Open Day and Night' METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The crowd was so large at the Templa's 'morning services that it was almost impossible to get seats. Pastor Holmes was at his best, as usual, and preached ferevently and powerfully. Some could not quench the Spirit and walked around and praised God. At the close of the semon, some responded to the invitation and united with the church. The choir is 'increasing in numbers, and singing much better. One anthem, "Wake the Song of Jubilee," is beautiful and they sing it beautifully. The Sunday school, Mission Circle and B. Y. P. U. had good meetings. At 8 p.m., the assistant pastor of the church at Dallas, Texas, preached. The corresponding secretary, who has not been absent once in three months, although sick, came out to receive the Lord's Supper but for some reason it was not administered at all. The recording secretary was present morning and night on this date; the assistant recording secretary was present in the morning. A large crowd was present at night and the collection was around a hundred dollars. Next Sunday, March 21st, Pastor Holmes will preach another fine sermon, as the Spirit gives him utterance. Come out and hear it. All are ever welcome at Metropolitan Temple. Some visitors present during the day were: Mrs. Lucy Woods of Pine Bluff, Ark.; Mesdames Ford, Smith, Thomas, Toohey, H. D. Scott, Misses Maggie Ward, Mesdames Lillie Beroe and Dorsey of Texas. Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church Quindaro, Rev. M. C. Knight, Paestor In Rev. 1:10 we find these words, "I was in the spirit on the Lord's Day, and heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet." These words were truly verified in our church all day Sunday. The "Inter-World Church Movement" convention, under the uaspices of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A., at Western University held joint sessions with us all day and it was with the co-operation of the faculty and student body that gave impetus to our services and success. Everyone seemed to catch the spirit of the day. At a quarter to eleven the people began to pour into our church and by half past eleven our church was practically full. Roy A. C. Terrell, D. D. P. E. delivered the message of the hour. His subject, "Wisdom." It was a wonderful message, food for thought, and an abundance of information. Truly it was the "message of the hora." The solo, "For You I Am Praying," tendered by Mrs Zancy, vocal teacher at Western University, was timely and impressive. The audience was moved to tears by the melody of her cultured voice. Mrs. Cravan, Washington, D.C.; Attorney S. Joe Brown, Des Moines, Iowa, and Mr. Walter Hutchington, Baxton, Iowa, were our honored out-of-town worshippers. All of whom delivered short addresses on the object of the "Movement; In a Life's Choice." This was indeed a great service and will be long remembered in our church and community. At 3 o'clock p. m., we reassembled for the "Sacrament Sermon" and "Lord's Supper." Rev. J. B. St. Felix Isaacs, A. B. A. M, our pastor Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo., delivered the sermon. His theme "Personal Sanctification." John 15:3-9. This indeed was one of the most convincing messages deliveren in a service of this kind in our church. Allen Chapel may indeed congratulate herself on having such a strong Gospel minister. At the close of the excellent sermon quite a hundred persons communed at the altar, the largest number in the history of the church. We were honored with the presence of Rev. Jones, the singing evangelist, at this service. He sang some of his good-old songs and this service closed with a hearty handshake and shout in Zion. At 7 o'clock we assembled in a joint session at Ward's Chapel, to listen to Prof. A. M. Trawick, A.M., Scarrett Bible Institute, on the subject, "The Challenge of the Hour." We would that every man of color could have heard this Christian gentleman's unique and helpful message. Mr. Trawick, to say the least, is a friend to our race, a close student and a genius on racial and national issues. The world needs many more Trawicks. At 8:30 we resassemblebled at the church and was favored with interesting addresses by Mr. Walter Hutchinson, and Attorney S. G. Brown, after which the two speakers, with the Rev. Terrell and Prof. Gregg were invited to lunch at the parsonage. This closed one of the greatest quarterly meeting servicesj in our church here. The quarterly conference was held Monday evening. The reports showed a great increase in every department of the church. The presiding elder was most agreeably surprised and expressed much satisfaction over the result. The dinner given by the Pastor's Aid Society was a decided success. The president and members wish to thank their many friends who helped i nthis affair. Don't forget that next Sunday is the "Advocate Drive" in our church and community. If you haven't subscribed do so now not later than Sunday. "Tote Square;" don't be a slacker.
