THROUGH FLORIDA WITH A BAD CASE OF ANCESTRY, TRAVELS J. O. MIDNIGHT
Tampa, Fla.—If you know anything about Florida you will see that I am away down in Florida, but I am not going to remain down here, for before you can say "scat" I will be in South Carolina, and then I am going to return to another extreme of Florida and when I get through with that I am going and going and going until I stop, and in the meantime I am going to keep you posted in order that you may keep up with me if you consider it any of your business.
I have certainly been having an Old Aunt Dolly time down here, although I have not been in the best of health, I have kept up just the same. You see I have an awful case of ancestors, and I have been informed by a number of expert doctors that there is no cure for this kind of disease. Everything I eat goes direct to my stomach, and while I have been alarmed the doctors laugh when I tell them my complaint and they say I derognoise my own case, and I need not call on a doctor. This has given me another complaint, "The Big Head."
There have been a few things to claim as my attention, and I am as happy as a Junebug in July in a fine blackberry patch. I think I will be able to eat as many blackberries. The things I have seen and the things I have done, have just fitted me for the kingdom and I am certainly heaven bound. I have bees mingling with them big folks down here in Florida, and had the pleasure of meeting big people. Bishop John Hurst has been holding a conference and he has had her here from everywhere. The men who are before their church for honors are doing some getting around. I wish that I was a railroad pulling them around, for at the end of next May I would have some of "In God We Trust."
John H. Murphy has been down here, and he has been doing the reporting for the newspapers, and he is some reporter. I was at the last conference for a day, Bishop Hurst introduced me, but Reporter and Editor Murphy forgot to put my name in the paper. I made so sure that my name was going to be there that I bought six papers the next morning to send to my friends, but it was not there and now I wish I could get my thirty cents back. Mr. Murphy is the right man to have charge of the press end of the next general conference, and I hope that they will see to it that he is duly elected, for he will have charge of the Associated Press work, and already he has been given the assignment, and will have charge for them and the conference should have him also and then there would be some claim on him.
But only a few words about general conference matters this week, for I want you to have some Florida information. It would be well for you to listen. Dr. A. J. Carey, was down here in the state and made a good impression. You see Dr. Carey, and Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, and W. A. Fountain, and J. C. Caldwell, and J. R. Ransom are going to be elected for this country, and Dr. John A. Gregg will make it over for South Africa, and there will come in Dr. V. M. Townsenl, for Church Extension, Dr. C. M. Tanner for Wesionary Secretary, and Dr. J. W. Rankin for Biscup, and that is all I am going to say now.
I have visited Edward Waters college, and find it in excellent condition and things are just moving up the hill at rapid rate under Dr. John A. Gregg, who comes up from Kansas and is a product of the University of Kansas. It is wonderful to see how this man has pulled things out down here and right by his side has been his well trained wife, who went to South Africa with him before as a bride and who is willing to return wit him when the A. M. E. church authorizes him to make the trip. I think it is going to be made after May.
I made a trip down to St. Augustine, and I wish you could see me now, for that is the place wherd-you dip in the stream of perpetual youth. I did not find it, but I dipped in some water out in the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, Prof. N. W. Collier, president. They have a great plant there, and as soon as they can get hold of money enough to pay it out of debt then the thing is going to happen. They are going to put up more buildings and substantial buildings at that. They are going to make things hum. It was a pleasure to see them at work, and to come in touch with the teachers. It is an inspiration just to see and shake hands with Miss Sarah A. Blocker, whose life is being spent for the moral; intellectual and spiritual uplift of girls. She stands for a higher and purer womanhood.
I returned to Jacksonville, and then on invitation of Rev. C. S. Long, made a trip to Ocala, where I am going to return in May to be present at the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias. He opened the church and had me make a few remarks. Rev.
Charles S. Long is one of the leading young ministers in this section of the country, and he is now before the church for the position of Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, to succeed Dr. Caldwell. While he did not meet me at the stable, yet he had sent one of them automobile cars down to meet me, and the man looked at me, but I did not look fine enough to be the man that Dr. C. S. Long had sent down to meet.
Well, I got in town, had dinner, and then went out to see the town, and belive me, this is a hustling town. The first thing to meet me was the Deverre Sanitarium, with Dr. R. R. Williams, superintendent. This Dr. Williams is one of the best in town,—in fact in the state, and he is devoting his life in trying to keep people out of both heaven and hell for a little while. They do great work here, and Miss Lenor Tucker, of South Carolina is the head nurse. Dr. Williams is a native of South Carolina, and won as his wife one of the daughters of Bishop W. D. Chappelle. The Lord has blessed her home. Mrs. Lula Nelson was visiting her sister. She is the wife of Dr. Nelson, pastor of one of the leading churches in Charleston, S.C.
They have some good doctors in the city of Ocala. There is Dr. W. E. Wilson, Dr. J. M. Pqnder. The Bazaar is indeed a wonder, and I shall have to tell you about it in another letter or when I return in May, also about the L. C. Smith Dr. Good Company, J. W. Alexander, general store; R. S. Mitchell, grocery; J. A. Butterfield, druggist; Crompton, habidasher. These people are not only doing business, but they own many good buildings. I will have to tell you about the bank when I return, and other things, for I have so many things on my brains for this week, until it would just take a whole paper and then there would be something lurking around in some brain still wanting to creep out and let you know about it.
I went back to Ocala, and had a special dinner with Bishop and Mrs. Hurst, it being their get away for Baldmore, and he said that he was going to make it right on to St. Louis. I then beat it down to this place. Have you been down here? It is right to the stepping off place, but one of the leading Baptist ministers in the country, Rev. G. D. Griffin, D.D., pastor of Beaulah Baptist church. The church that purchased $8,000 worth of property and raised in one rally $5,024, and then come back a few months later and placed on the table $10,047.10, and this put them over the top, out of debt and ready to build a new church which is going to cost around in the neighborhood of one hundred thousand dollars. They are putting down money to that end and I don't know as I have ever seen members rally to a cause so in my life. They have many organizations in the church which they call luxuries. This is all I will say about them now.
Here is located some business men and women of the race. I have just got through reading that cussing stuff from Senator Williams of Mississippi, and he said all he had in his mind to say and a few more things. God bless him. I am so glad that he is going to retire, and yet I hope that they will not return the man who claims to be a nephew of mine. No more will he be paid on this point.
Judge Joseph E. Lee, of Jacksonville, Fla., was found dead in his office last Friday evening. He was one of the most prominent men of the race and a high class politician. He was born up in Philadelphia and attended the school taught by Mrs. Ferry Jackson Coppin, and when he finished school came down to Florida. He was 71 years old, lived in Jacksonville over 40 years old. Was one time municipal judge, collector of customs, and internal revenue collector, and an African Methodist preacher.
I am only writing a few lines to you this week.
The Interchurch movement at the Seventh Street M. E. church Tuesday night gave statistics to show that the colored people have arose from possessing 20,000 farms to possessing 900,000 farms. They said all Christians ought to help a race that develops like that in 50 years.

WYANDOTTE CITY
RECOGNITION A
In the Republican delegation to the State Convention which left the union depot last Tuesday night, the 30th, in a special Pullman for Salina, out of the 35 delegates, 19 were colored, a very fair and equal representation. It was true of other delegations throughout the state, while honor were being handed out in the organization of the convention, delegates and presidential electors, the race was not overlooked. Thos. Kennedy, of Wyandotte, editor of The Advocate, was selected as assistant secretary of the convention. Lawyer Dorsey Green of Wyandotte was elected to go on the ticket, as presidential elector, and W. A. Bettis, of Wichita, editor The Protest, was elected as alternate to the national convention. Some were also placed on several committees.
Rev. D. A. Holmes placed Lawyer Green in nomination with a speech that brought the eleven hundred del-

Salina, Kas., April 5.—The citizens of Salina on last Wednesday night tendered the colored delegates, about 50 in number, who attended the Republican State convention, a reception at Knights of Tabor hall.

Some of the delegates who made short and spicy talks were Attorney T. W. Bell, of Leavenworth; Attorney Elisha Scott, of Topeka; Attorney Dorsey Green. Kansas City; Rev.
SONG AND DANCE HITS ON COLUMBIA RECORDS.
By Al Jolson, Bert Williams and the Columbia Saxophone Sextette. For Release April 10th.
How many people recollect that Al Jolson can whistle just as melodiously as this clever comedian sings? In his song hit "Swance," rendolent of the South, released by the Columbia this month, this Sinbad star displays both these gifts. On the reverse of this record Frank Crumit, new exclusive artist, sings the tenor song, "My Gal."
The Columbia Saxophone Sextette plays two dances for Columbia this month, the "BuddhaDardanella" fox-trot and the one-step "Limehouse Nights." The bass saxophone carries the beat in the fox-trot with a rhythmic sound that is so deceptive you might think it was a tomtom or kettledrum. The harmony of "Limeouse Nights," is heralded as this organization's best since it started to make Columbia records.
Bert Williams moves you to tears of laughter in his melancholy song "I'm Sorry I Ain't Got It, You Could Have it If I Had It Blues." That's the answer he says he always gets when he tries to make a touch. The coupling is "Checkers," one more of this colored comedian's famous courtroom comedies.
These records can be found at Butler & Sons Music Company, 610 Minnesota avenue, Kansas City, Kas.
WILLIAM PRICE LAID TO REST
The funeral of Mr. William Price was held last Friday at the First A. M. E. church at 2 p.m. One of the largest crowds for a week day funeral that has been seen in this church were present.The floral pieces were large and many. The funeral sermn was delivered by his pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, which showed the simple Christian life of this well known and successful citizen. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, an old friend of the family, made remarks on the worth of this pioneer character to the race and church. Many resolutions were read from the church.

egates and two thousand spectators to their feet.
Hon.T.W.Bell of Leavenworth, and one of the West's greatest lawyers, placed Mr. Bettin in nomination with an able and eloquent speech. He also introduced a resolution to the convention with such force and argument on cutting down the Southern representatives in Congress until the Negro was given his franchise as an American citizen, that it was loudly cheered and called to be voted on before he finished. The big four that were elected on the first ballot were D. W. Mulvane, Topeka; H. H. Motter, Olathe; Ex-Governor W. J. Bailey, Atchison, and W. W. Watson, Salina. Everything went through without the least crack. The hammer had no nails to drive or rivets to clinch. Instead of hammers every Republican was carrying a well-filled oiler. It was a day of peace and brotherly love.

HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY
All Hail, and Hats Off to Mrs. Warfield, the Bravest and Fairest Among Our Women.
The statement of this good woman, in answer to questions put by a lawyer a few weeks ago, was fall and overflowing with Truth, Common sense and Reason, and covers fully the field of our acts, deeds and duties with and towards each other.
No colored person who has the right kind of thoughts the welfare of the race—and who does not think that white races are superior to their own;—simply because they are not colored, can read her answer without being benefited.
While we deeply deplore her first experience with a colored lawyer;—and have nothing but the severest condemnation for him, in not being true to his trust;—our appreciation for her honest and unusually high-classed, and very reasonable conduct; is unlimited.
Verily and truly, she "Reasoned Well" when she concluded, "This man has not treated me fairly, and it is because he has not the qualities of a true gentleman, and lawyer.
"It is not, however, because of his being colored;—for the same kind of a lawyer, (a dishonest one) would treat me the same way; if his face happened to be ever so white,—his color would cut no figure as to his ability and honesty; so when I have need for a lawyer again,—I will employ one of my own race, who will treat me fairly and honorably."
Hear Ye,—Listen,—Attend,—For it is high time.
That process of reasoning, contains the salvation of our race;—and there can be no saving of us, without it.
However, I do not think her conclusions entirely fair, to the professional men, nor even to the women.
That is to say, I do not believe she means to say, that even a majority of our women are to be placed in that high and worthy class which she described;—and further believe, that there are a few professional men who are not in that unreasonable, unmany and very undesirable class which she mentioned, as not being true to our race interests. Now then, my good and reasonable madam;—if you will agree;—that there are some who deserve, even high commendation;—and a great, great many who deserve real strong condemnation, in both groups;—believe we can easily pool forces, and reach all those in each group, who are inclined to move along the wrong line.
For I earnestly and sincerely believe, that all such persons, should be fettruted out, and pointed out; so that they may be known by the people; and that their real true "Racial Sins" may be upon their heads.

"HELLO 1919" AT AUDTORIUM.
Pretty Girls, Funny Comedians, and a host of other things conspire to make "HELLO 1919" one of the best Musical Comedies with a Broadway reputation opening at the Auditorium Theatre Monday, April 12th. This show is drawn along the lines of a big musical review and during the entire time the scenes are being enacted not a moment is lost. It is full of pep from start to finish, and the evolutions of a well trained chorus speaks well for the ability of Frank Montgomery, the producer. This widely known comedian is starred in the production and is doing just enough to show that he is above the average in intelligence, for he has not usurped the best spots for himself, being content to give others talent with the piece a chance to show their accomplishments. Miss Flerence McClain, whose vivaciousness are known throughout the country, is seen as the dainty leading lady of "HELLO 1919" and believe me she looks like a million dollars. She is some jazz stepper.
Others in the east are: Dyke Thomas, Alice Ramsey, Paul Floyd, Daisy Martin, Robert Davis, Margaret Scott, Tiny Ray, Bobby Jones and many others. The show is presented in twelve scenes. And the wardrobe is the most costly wardrobe that could be found in New York City. The show has played in the largest cities in America, having played New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, and is coming direct to your city from a ten-weeks run in Chicago at the Grand Theatre and in all of the above cities the show has played to standing room only, so this is a guarantee that "HELLO 1919" brings to this community some show. So don't miss it. And Frank Montgomery is an assassinator of the blues. The box sale will be opened at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 10th. Do not fail to reserve your seats in advance to avoid the rush.
Mrs. Mattie Myles, 830 Nebraska avenue, has returned home after spending several weeks at the bedside of her son, Elijah, who was attending Howard University, Washington, D. C. Her daughter, Mrs. Perry Lee Hopson, of Middleboro, Ky., 'met' her mother there and both remained until the son was able to travel to his sister's home, whose husband is a doctor, and his sister being a traked nurse, the young man is being well cared for.

CHURCH NEWS
The day of "The Risen Christ" was a blustering one, and many of His believers refused to weather the way to His Temple. The faithful were there to hear God's word preached. Dr. Griffin delivered one of his strong sermons to an appreciative people. Miss Zacrack, the new choirist, and teacher in voice culture at Western University, made her first appearance, whose impression was greatly admired by the congregation She has a sweet voice, and a pleasing expression. The Sunday school was small on the account of the inclement weather and colored eggs went begging.
The pastor organized a junior choir Wednesday night and has secured the services of a good chorister. All young people are invited to become a member of this choir. Sunday will be a big day in Zion. Come and hear some of our visiting divines from the M. E. Conference now in session. The Knife and Fork banquet was a glowing success, and the church will realize a neat sum which will be made known Sunday morning.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES
At 11 a. m., although the snow was deep, quite a number of loyal members and friends were present. Pastor Holm's preached from I Cor. 15:4, "And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day." He explained that Easter is one of the most important days, as on it, Christ arose and finished the plan of salvation. Some joined the church, and appropriate for the day, several were buried in the glass Baptistry, typical of the Resurrection. The choir sang beautiful Easter anthems, one, "He Arose Halleujah!" The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. had a union Easter program at 6:30 p.m. A real scene of Easter lilies, palms, etc., was arranged on the Sanctum sanctorum. The most appropriate things rendered were: this opening Easter song, Sunrise, the Floral Cross, and the closing chorus, Easter Bells, was beautiful. Lawyer and Mrs. Henderson's little Alice sang a solo, which was encored. Mjss Leila Plummer accompanied her. Easter eggs were given to all.
e At 8 p. m., the pastor preached on "We shall Be Like Him." The choir song, "Up From the Grave," "Awake," and the Resurrection. At the close, five were fellowshipped, and the Lord's supper was administered to many who braved the snow, and they sang a hymn and went out as they did before Christ's death 1920 years ago. Come to church next Sunday, April 11th; good sermons, good music and another baptizing.
Mr. Matthew Carroll, Jr., is home from Lawrence taking his Easter vacation from K. U.

Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church
(Rev. M. C. Knight, Pastor.) Despite the blinding snowstorm Sunday, a few of our members found their way to service, as well as some of the children to Sunday school. Our pastor delivered his Easter message. Subject, "Proofs of the Resurrection," to the few that were present. Although there was nothing in climatic conditions that bespoke Easter, each was convinced that it was Easter, after listening to this wonderful message.
Every member and friend are invited to be present next Sunday morning and every Sunday thereafter as our pastor will begin his series on the "Apostle's Creed" and the "Lord's Prayer" using the Creed in the morning and the prayer in the evening until these are finished. We should know what these stand for in our church. Begin with these series and follow them through. Baptism of babies and children Sunday morning at close of service. Come on time; bring your friends. The Sunday school Easter program that was postponed on account of bad weather was rendered Tuesday evening. The egg hunt created quite a commotion among the scholars and visitors. It was an enjoyable affair. Mrs. H. T. Kealing is confined to her bed at this writing.

"Hello" Purely American Expression, but Originated With French Wolf Hunters
You should try to learn the old wolf hunter's call, because you know the wolf is a scout, and that should be the scout call, writes Dan Beard in Boy's Life.
This call was used in France first and afterwards in England, but there are no wolves in England now and the bugle call has been forgotten in both countries, therefore we "paint it green and call it our own." Even though William Tell and Robin Hood bugled the same calls before America was discovered, we can make it American the same as we have made the old French wolf hunter's cry American. French was spoken in English court circles, so the titled wolf hunters used the French cry "hab le loup" or "a' lou loup, loup," being pronounced loo, the cry being a laoo; the English put on the II and made it halloo, and we made it hell-o, which is an American expression, as all the telephone girls know.
So the old wolf hunter's bugle calls which came here with the Huguenots will also be American when blown through wooden flat-boatmen's trumpets.
Cooksu, Korean Delicacy and Great National Dish
The great national dish of Korea is cooksun, Summer R. Vinton writes in Travel. To make it, you plunge a large lump of ice into a bowl partly filled with steaming vermicelll of the endless variety. Over this you pour a portion of hot beef stew. The ice congeals the beef fat into little islands of grease, and you never know whether the portion dangling from the end of your chopsticks will be ice-cold or burning hot. The vermicelll, which is very tough, is to be lifted to the mouth with the chop-sticks. Keeping a firm hold on it with lips and teeth, you slip the chopsticks down to lift again and take up the 'slack' by sucking.
Kilt, Highlander's Garb, of Scandinavian Origin
The kilt is part of the characteristic and ancient dress of the natives of the Highlands of Scotland. The word means "that which is girded or tucked up." It is of Scandinavian origin. The Danish word kilte, in use today, means "to tuck up." The kilt of the Highlander is short but has a very full skirt, belted in at the waist, and reaching to about the knees. The early kilt was not a separate garment, but merely the lower part of the plaid in which the Highlander wrapped himself, hanging down in folds below the belt.
During the recent convention of the State Federation of Labor at Bellingham, Washington, a plan was formulated looking to an alliance for political purposes of all labor unions, all farm organizations, and 16 railway unions. William Short, president of the Washington State Federation of Labor, has been the prime mover in seeking a combination of these forces, to be termed the triple alliance in that it is to affiliate the Washington State Federation of Labor, the Washington State grunge, and the Railway Men's Welfare league. The Bellingham labor convention indorsed the alliance with but two dissenting votes. Representatives of the three orders chose Forest L. Hudson, president of the Railway Men's Welfare league, as temporary chairman of the alliance, and made public its purposes in the following declarations:
"Believing that the office should seek the man and not the man the office, we declare the objects of the organization to be: To secure remedial legislation through political solidarity and to select and elect men and women for public service who are loyal to the best interests of all the people of the state of Washington.
"This alliance shall be composed of the membership of the following organizations: (a) all crafts affiliated with the Washington State Federation of Labor, (b) all farmers' and all railway men's organizations, (c) all such other organizations as may consistently embrace the principles of this alliance."
Details of organization are to be assigned to a committee consisting seven representatives chosen by each of the three affiliated groups, its various provisions to be approved by referendum. It is proposed to raise a campaign fund of $100,000 to carry out a program of elections in 1920 when alliance candidates, selected for their peculiar fitness, will be drafted and placed in the field for various official positions the organization desires to capture. The labor organizations of this state have arrayed themselves against the "One Big Union" proposed by the radicals, and predict that it will result in "one big fizzle," but they claim that the triple alliance will form one big union founded on Americanism, affirming that those who produce should decide who shall represent them in the legislature and in other official positions.
