KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. THOUSANDS SAW WORK OF GREAT RACE ARCHITECT One of the most attractive and much admired display on exhibition during the session of the A. M. E. General Conference held this month in St. Louis, Mo., was the exhibit of M. John A. Lankford, the race's foremost architect. Mr. Lankford is a native of Missouri, but has his national headquarters at 1148 Q street, N. W., Washington, D. C. He is the pioneer along architectural lines among our people. His work at the Coliseum was a wonderful exhibit of plans and specifications, blue prints and rendered drawings of church edifices colleges and school buildings, apartments, office buildings and residences, which was exhibited for the benefit of the General Conference of the A. M. E. church. J. A. LANKFORD, MS, LLM. Mr. Lankford received over one hundred orders for church edifices, apartments, hotels and business buildings since his exhibit in Saint Louis. It shows that the race has taken a step in advance and that they are appreciating the skill and ability of our young men now have qualified along the different lines of science, art and industry. His exhibit was truly a work of brain, skill and art and should be appreciated, and he should be consulted by every Negro of the race who is thinking of building or of reconstruction of a building. The professor is also a noted writer on Christian art and architectural subjects. He is the only Negro who has written a book of note on the Christian art.

SOME OF THE GOOD CHURCHMEN MUST WAIT FOUR YEARS Ocala, Fla.—Do you belong to the Knights of Pythias? Have you been on that blind goat that can kick like Maud? I think I would rather ride a mule than to ride that goat which acts just like he is crazy and would make you act the same way if you don't watch him. I was down here once before, and believe me honey, I am going to say something to you before I get through with this letter. I am here with the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, presided over by Col. W. W. Andrews, of Jacksonville, Fla., and he is some presiding officer and his wife who is right by his side, and his private secretary, is one of the finest women I have ever met in Florida and I don't mind telling you about her. These Pythians have been doing some business and just think of it, they have $118,000 and a few dollars over in cash, to be exact, they have on hand $118,462,26, and that is going some. I got down here early and planted myself in the corner, where I could not been discovered, and saw them go through the opening, making all kinds of funny signs. One man went around and collected the pass word. Each fellow arose and said it, "Liver, beef-steak and onions." After the opening they appointed some committees and got right down to business. Supreme Chancellor S W. Green, of New Orleans, one of the most noted of men was received with high honors and seated to the right of the Grand Chancellor. I was not discovered, for I was determined to remain where I wander had a good sharp razor, and would have fought my way to the throne, if disturbed. Sir S. W. Green was accorded the floor and proceeded to make one more speech, and I was delighted to have heard him. He is some talker and then he is some wit and humor. He told about how the Supreme Lodge had cleaned up a lawsuit, and now that Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., of Virginia, had lost his case, he thought it was high time for him to return to the fold, and to do the right thing. Then Florida had won an important suit also which would be far reaching. It is something wonderful to see how these things are done. I looked around and saw all I could see, heard all I could hear. Then I made a hike to the A. M. E. church, where the Court of Calanthe was in session, and these women were presided over by a remarkable woman, Mrs. E. L. Colyer, of Orlando, Fla. I found so much pleaseure in meeting this refined, cultured educated woman of my race, and she is all that I have said about her and a few more things put in on the side. I looked around and she looked around until it was all over. I want to say just a few things about this order. I tell you there were representative men and women present, doctors, lawyers, bankers, editors, professors, college presidents, writers, teachers, merchants, eaters—believe me, when I tell you they were all M. H. Rev, J. F. Griffin, Pastor of First A. M. E. Church. Who Will Deliver the Commencement Address at Western University Next Thursday, June the 3rd. CITY Rev. J. F. Griffin, Pastor of First A. M. E. Commencement Address at Western day, June the here representing all the walks in life. Upon reaching the town, I went out to see where I was to stay, and met Dr. M. J. Ponder, who is one of the leading physicians in this town, and a busy man at that. He is one of the few doctors of our race who has seen actual service over yonder. Well, he was over there, and his experience is worth so much to the whole race. He knows his stuff, and right by his side is his refined, educated wife, Mrs. Fannie Ayers Ponder. She is one of the best teachers in the state and a worker in the Calanthe, and was one more busy woman during the entire session. I was so delighted to have seen her and stopped at their home. Dr. Ponder told be many things about over yonder. Well, the general conference has met and is now over, and bishops have been assigned, as I thought they would be. They now have eighteen active bishops, with Bishop Charles Spoacer Smith as the historian of his church, and a good man for the position. They have been assigned as follows: If you recall I suggested that the laymen in their organization would select Aaron E. Malone for the position of chairman, and this was carried out, and then John C. Holland of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, was made the secretary. They did not elect my friend, Dr. J. C. Caldwell, but he will take, up the pastorate, but you will hear from him four years from now. He is indeed a worthy man, and I would like to see him president of Morris Brown college, if he wanted to go that way. He would make a good college president, and four years from now, they will go back and pick him up. He is going on the bench. I find that all of my friends were pleased on who were placed on. My writing has not been altogether in vain, for there are Reys, W. D. Johnson, A. J. Carey, W. Sampson Brooks, W. T. Vernon and W. A. Fountain. Of these men will have to spend four years in Africa, but they will return to this country. I think they are going to give their ADVOCATE time and attention to the work over there. Just a few more days now and we will all be going to the city of Chicago to see who is going to be the next president—I say the next president, because I believe the man who is elected or nominated will be elected. We are going to have a Republican president. I know President Wilson will be pleased to get away from all this trouble. It is enough to drive a mule crazy. But then to be president of a great nation like this is a great big thing. I am g. d indeed to note that the general conference recognized worth, by the elevation and election of Dr. B. F. Watson to the position. He has made Church Extension a study, and is an expert, and then he has won the place by the service he has rendered in it. I want to here congratulate him, and to say to the young men who are aspiring for the place, that they can afford to wait just a little longer and they will have the place. It is sure to come. I wish that I had time to say more to you at this writing, but then I must mention Dr. S. S. Morris, who is successor to Dr. J. C. Caldwell. He is a good man and will do well in the place, and then it took a man to step down like Dr. Caldwell did, for he did not try to go back, but let those who supported him turn their attention to the man they had promised to support. He is all the stronger. Look out for him. Dr. R. R. Wright is still editor of the Christian Recorder Dr. G. W. Allen editor of the Southern Christian Recorder; Dr. Barksdale of the Western Christian Recorder; Dr. D. M. Baxter manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern; Dr. R. C. Ransom, editor of the Review; Dr. P. W. Wall, remain pastor of some church, and Ira T. Bryant will be secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday school, and I told Dr. Walls when he was looking for that job, it was just Guliver and the Liliputians or some other little folks. Bryant has won his place by his efficient work. Of course Prof. John R. Hawkins will remain in his place. I shall bring this to a stop now until my next. J. O. MIDNGHT. The family of five girls of Mr. Richard Spencer have arrived here from the south. Mr. Spencer came some time ago, and his only son came later and now he owns a nice residence at 351 Everett. He has a lovely family. Dr. Sara Winifred Brown of Chicago, a social morality worker and a member of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A., and Mrs. L. J. Coppin, wife of Bishop Coppin, also of Chicago, visited Western University Monday and Tuesday of this week and made talks to the students. Both of these women are well known throughout the country for their social work among young women in the cities. "Mother's Day" was celebrated last Sunday at Kansas University, when all mothers who had children in the school were invited to be present. Some of those from here who went, were Mrs. Garvin, Mrs. S. H. Thompson, Mrs. Gatewood and Mrs. Carroll. Mrs. Lulu May Logan and Mrs. Lucinda Clark were in Leavenworth Monday attending the funeral of their aunt, Mrs. Dawson Self. FIRST A. M. E.

KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. DR. H. FRANKLIN BRAY SAVES SOULS AT SPRINGFIELD A great union revival campaign, under the auspices of the Springfield Ministerial Alliance, is being conducted in this city by Dr. H. Franklin Bray, the Rocky Mountain Evangelist. Dr. Bray i sassisted by Rev. J. H. Brown, D.D. of Denver, Col., and Mrs. Cecil Watts of Topeka, Kansas. The crowds are the largest ever seen here in revival meetings and each service is filled with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. The evangelist is very fittingly styled the Apostle of Paul of this age; his messages are the most simple and yet the most powerful and convincing to which this city has ever had the privilege of listening. Springfield is being stirred among both races and the building is taxed every night to its finest capacity. There is a general returning to God after the true gospel rule. A chorus of fifty voices, under the direction of Rev. R. H. Harbert, is furnishing inspiring music. There were twenty-one conversions the first four nights.

Grant of Oakland avenue, has returned from Kentucky, where she was called by the death of her mother. Mrs. Grant has the sincere sympathy of the community. Rev. S. J.

Mrs. Coffer, Ann street, has returned from St. Joseph, where she visited her daughter. NUMBER 43. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT WESTERN UNIV. Next Thursday, June the third, will bring to Western University two blocks beyond the end of the Quindaro car line, its greatest commencement exercises. This year has set a new mark as to numbers and work accomplished in its many departments of hand and brain development. The class of students attending this year, as a whole, have shown themselves a higher average in all departments in the history of the school, although the standard was raised last year. There is probably, no college of the race whose teaching force are more efficient in their lines of work than the teaching force at Western University. Rev. F. Jesse Peck, president, and who is closing his first year as the head of this school, has been the man on the job every day since he took charge, and those who visit commencement and hear and see, will have to say that he has been equal to the occasion, and has started this school on its way to the West's highest educational center. The enrollment this year nearly doubled tiself, and scores had to be turned away on account of housing accommodations. There will be a class of thirty-five to graduate this year. Next week will bring many visitors to the school from all parts of the country, some to be present at the graduation of their children, others who have the school at heart. Also many ministers from the Middle West, who are much interested in this school; also many noted men and women of the race of afar will be here for their first visit. Sunday, May 30th, at 3 p. m., the baccalaureate sermon will be preached by the Reverend St. Felix Isaacs. The commencement address will be delivered by Rev. J. F. Griffin. DISTRICT CONFERENCE AND SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN- TION The District Conference and Sunday School Convention of the Topeka District will convene at St Paul A. M. E. church, Argentine, June 9, 10, and 11, Rev. R. S. Everett, pastor; Rev. H. D. Harris, Presiding Elder; Mrs. Mollie Seaborn, District Superintendent of Sabbath school. A fine program has been arranged for each day's session and a big delegation of ministers, lay workers and visitors are expected to attend these sessions. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Reed, 103 Stewart avenue, was run over last Thursday on Central avenue, and is now in St. Margaret's hospital. He is getting along very well. Mr. Coffer is much improved after several weeks of sickness. PAGE TWO THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. G. A.-GREGG, Associate Editor. MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS. Society Editor.

"ALONG THE LINE OF REASON" "Well, in de name ob—ob—whar's you bin at, Uncle Ike?" 'You ain't sayin' nuffin'—axin' me whar's I bin at." I'se done bin ever whars—seen ever body — ever thing, an' all of it—an' ain't had no-body to tell me muffin', mind you, an' I'se a heap wusser dan I has been — for I'se on de 'LINE OF REEZUN" for good, an' ain' gwyn ter git ofin it." I have been waiting for the brave and honest little lady, Mrs. Warfield, to answer my last statement on the subject of Negro Patronage to Negroes, which grew out of the incident of the white woman who said she was "ASHAMED" to have a Negro lawyer appear in her case. While the question asked in that last statement has not yet been answered — each day brings others equally as important; and some of them are as follows, to-wit: 1 What about that large number of Negroes who continue to turn up in court, behind Cheap White lawyers? 2 How shall we consider them? 3 What shall we say about them? 4 What shall we think of them? 5 What do you suppose they think of the Race and its Welfare? 6 What do you suppose they think of themselves? 7 What do you suppose — these people; whom they continue to hang after—think of them, on account of such conduct? 8 How do you suppose they square their conduct with their boldly assuming to be True and Loyal to their race? 9 By what process of reasoning do you think these members of the race bring themselves to the point where they ask others to respect them and give them consideration and preferment in the Social, Business, Educational, Religious and Political matters, things and associations of the race? 10 Can you tell how such persons can square their professions and claims of being members of a Great Society for the Protection and Uplife of Colored People—and at the same time — every time they have a chance to prove that they are WHAT this great society stands for, and advocates—they show that they are the very OPPOSITE, in that they have no Respect for non confidence in, members of their own race? 11 Should these people, who show so little of respect for their race — be given consideration and preference in Social, Business, and Religious affairs and associations, just the same as is given — to those who are Loyal and True to their race? 12 Or should they be left to obtain all such consideration preferment and association from those to whom they carry their matters of business and profit? 13 Dis las one is de way dey do "Down Souf."

CHURCH NEWS A large number of worshippers attended the all day services Sunday. Rev. Wayman Ward of Colorado Springs, whose father was a former pastor of this church, and now at Los Angeles, delivered the sermon to an appreciative audience. He took up the meek, the lowly, the unknown and the unnoticed in the church, and showed in an intelligent and forceful way the place and honored position they held in the sight of God, and His kingdom Rev. Ward, while young is developing into a great Gospel preacher. He was on his way home from the general conference. Dr. Griffin gave a review of the General Conference at the evening service to a good audience, naming the new bishops and general officers elected, and the district assignments of all the bishops; also giving the constructive work being done by the church. It was interesting and the people enjoyed in hearing it so intelligently related. The finance for the day was large. The choir rendered its usual fine music with a large number being present both morning and evening. Sunday was the last day for the directoress, Mrs. Zachery to be with us, she having to get her work ready for commencement at Western University, and then she will leave for her home in Denver, Colo. Mrs. Zachery has been faithful and rendered excellent service since coming to us, and her service has been greatly appreciated by the church. The Summer rally of 121 captains are getting down to real business, and as these captains are made up from the young members of the church they are showing great activity and expect to show the older members what is in them when it comes to doing things. The pastor will fill his pulpit Sunday morning. Visitors and friends are ever welcome. A COLORED PRINTER THAT STANDS AT THE HEAD In Horton Printshops 30 Years—Last Thursday, Marsh Holloway, of the Headlight-Commercial office, celebrated the 30th anniversary of his starting in the printing trade in Horton by working like a trojan to help get this paper out. On May 13, 1890, he began learning the trade with the late Clyde McManigal, editor of the Horton Commercial, and worked for him 11 years straight. He has worked over 13 years continuously for the present owner of the paper, and probably knows more about the newspaper history of Horton than any other person. And the editor of this paper can truthfully say that he is one of the most faithful and competent printers he ever employed.—The Horton Headlight-Commercial. Mr. Holloway is fairly well known in this city, marrving a few months ago one of our noble young women, Mrs. Etta Scott-McCurry. Mr. Holloway carries a union card and is recognized everywhere among his craft. Rev. and Mrs. Wayman Ward, after visiting relatives here, on their way from the Conference at St. Louis, left for the West, Thursday. Mrs. P. C.

I. F. BRADLEY, R., Attorney for Plaintiff. (First publication May 28, 1920) ANNOUNCER A. M. E. CHURCH ODE TO MEMORIAL DAY— "WORLD WAR COMRADES" (By E. S. M. Dinsmore) Long and faint a trembling voice, "Come o'er and help" we heard the cry. Barbarous hoards devast our land, And starving millions fight and die. Such ruthless vandals; come the time When brutish beasts make reason sway, When prayers of helpless women fail, Ann rape and infant murder, play? On they came that mighty wave. That wall of human flesh and steel, Up and down like ocean waves, As to and fro we made them reel; They saw the Doughboys' solid line, A phalanx fired, his doom at last, A voice from every rifle spoke, "I'm in the way, you shall not pass." He marched in rain and snow and mud. mud, He slept likewise in trenches cold, A mouldy dug-out, horrid place, Was no comparison we are told, He braved the hail of shot and shell, The poison gas, the hidden mine, And breathless waited for the word, To charge and crush the foeman's line. The battle raged, some men went mad, Some cursed the day, others were glad To strike for freedom though it cost The choisest gems the nation had, To put an end to despot rule, The galling yoke autocarce, And fix the standard once for all, That freemen love Democracy. Above the din of battle noise, The roar of guns and bursting shells The shrieks, the groans, the cry of men In throes of death in the jaws of hell, A star of hope a ray of light Is seen to penetrate it all, The voice of angels sing away The agony of shroud and pall. There was a smile upon his face, Though blood, dirt, murl-bespattered all. And severed limb and mangled form, And bones lay shattered in that fall; His heart was strong, his mind was clear His conscience void of all offense, Dying alone nor sigh nor groan, For God and duty called him hence. Not every one that bowed beneath, That fate that claims us all the time Could feel the touch of mother's hand And hear her whisper, "Hero o' amine." Nor comrade's voice to cheer and say, We nut our stubborn foe to flight, Nor faithful nurse to write this down A hero closed his eyes to light. Life he gave free, only heroes do, When tyrants our Union would sever O r Banner prostrate in the dust, All true-blood says, never, no never, Not while this breed of mother's sons The land of freemen still defends, Ten million bayonets fix the bounds, For where they stand the tyrant ends. And so he sleeps somewhere in France, The victor's crown awaits his brow, No marble shaft. no flowers there, To tell us where he fell, or how, Gathered was his mangled form, As in a winding sheet to lay, Alas his long deep dreamless sleep, Will hear no call till Judgment Day. And then together shall our heroes, Killed on land, on sea, in air, Stand reveille when Gabriel's Trump Shall wake the nations everywhere, Martyrs, warriors, of all times Since men became hi sbrother's foe, United shall stand in-Heaven's clime When peace begins and wars are o'er, Let loyal hearts their memory keep, And journeys make across the sea, Where in Foreign soil he sleeps, That sleep is all for you and me, Drop a tear, plant flowers there, Build monuments to mark the ground Where our comrade's glory rises, But where guilty tyranny went down. Be it far ne'er come the day, "that we forget our sons their deeds. Let poets sing it o'er and o'er. Let's write it for our kin to read In histories, on monuments, In halls of fame where statesmen meet Let victor stand with lifted sword, And tyrant's head beneath his feet. Mrs. Katie James, Mr. J. Downs, Mrs. M. Green, and Miss Rhoda Johnson visited the Metropolitan revival. Mrs. Lowe. sister of Mrs. P. C. Long, arrived here Tuesday from Denver, to visit several weeks.

N, ¥. piarmimurons (From fhe Sumner Courier) PRESIDENTS FAREWELL AD DRESS—1920. Friends: Today me have reached that goal toward which we have beer striving for four long years, yet seem- ingly short years. We must now enter the greate fields of life that lie stretched before us. We must cast away our high school opportunities and pleasures only to hold them with the firm grasp of our memories and assume those graver burdens that beset us as we have the threshold of Dear Old Sumner. Our equipment is good. Our armor strong. so let us mect our worldly battles with strong hearts and willing hands, Members of the faculty: At whore feet we have so often gat, whose pa- tience we have so often tried, and whose best laid plans we have so often failed by one lack of under- standing, yet whose labors have been impressing powerful influences upon our lives, how can we voice our fare- well to you? There has been a silent good bye for many of you as we were together for the last time in your class rooms, And in those last hours the little commonplaces of question and an- swer, the quaint situations, sthe fa- iiiliar twinkle of the eyes, the hand- ling of the last cards, all had a strange fascnation for us. And we shall ever cherish them as the trin- kets of a departed friend, As we turn away never more to be called up, never more to listen, to laugh and to associate with you and the under- graduate classes; the good bye that we voice you now goes from our ‘hearts to yours. We thank you for the sacrifices you have made for us, and for the wise guidance you have embodied in your teaching. Students of the under-graduate classes today we leave you. We leave Dear Old Sumner in your care, You are to walk these halls when we have departed. You will still make this building ring with the many cheeis in which our voices have so often joined. You are to have the many little incidents and the quaint experiences in your class-room such as we have had and these things make us the more interested in you. Our places will be taken, and we aie glad that we leave here strong- hezrted students that love Sumner and will stand up for her when we have gone, we are glad that we leave here students that will still ap- preciate the work of our much be- loved faculty In the next two or thice years when some of vs m1 come back to this dear old institu- tion, how cheering it will be to find some of these familiar faces. We shall be lonely many a ‘time _| whea we think of the inspiring com panionship which we have had her with you. And to you, we meke ov1 final bow as students of Dear Ol Sumner. Studerts, the Sumner spirit tha has imbued our conduct to and from school, our activities on the athletic field, our attitude in the class-roon and the many songs that we hav sung shall be carried with us ou into the big world. It is this spiri that will help us to conquer the man} hardships that await us as we entet the greater fields of life. But stu. dents, Ict not the Sumner spirit die keep it alive forever, for it is thi that has made Dear Old Sumre famous, Classmates, we stand together fo the last time. Our farewells must b spoken. In our careless happy way we hav _| wandered along for many years searce heeding that there must com an end to our journey. Onr time i .| up and we can stay no longer, Today the vision of a far countr looms before us for the first time 1] We stand at the wharf. The vess¢ n| puffs her sail and here rolls th .| clear broad seas. My classmates, you that have toile r{and wrought and thought with me 2 | A woik of neble note must be done , | Push off and sitting well in orde ; | smite the sounding furrows, as w 1 | move forward with one equal tempe » of heroic hearts, strong in will t ; Strive, to seck, to find and not t 1 yield. a JOSEPH H.

Bridgeforth, Principal, Topeka, Kansas “A great deal of what we call pleasure is largely imaginary,” said Mr. King, Sumner’s great philoso- pher, to Mr, Mowbray. “I suppose so,” said Mr. Mowbray, “who was busy on the Briscoe. “Now, wouldn’t you like to be able ‘to take a long ride without having to |worry about speed limits or spark plugs, or tires, or anything at all?” Mr. KING: “I should say so!” MR. MOWBRAY: “Well, here’s a street car ticket.” PROF. BUSTER (in History): “How was Alexander iI of Russia killed?” MARTHA MORGAN: “By (a bomb.” MR. BUSTER: “How do you ac- count for this?” ' MARTHA: “It exploded.” MARTHA DOZIER (to editor of the Sumner Courier): “I’ve a poem here advocating peace.’”’ EDITOR: “I.suppose that you hon- estly and sincerely desire peace?” MARTHA: “Yes, absolutely.” EDITOR: “Then burn the poem.” Scene in x Resi taurant at Topeka How will ‘you, Rave your eggs cooked? asked the waiter, speaking to Joseph Lewis, = JOE: Make any difference in the cost of em? ~ WAITER: No, JOE: Then cook them on the top of a slice of ham. How is the law made? asked Mr, Buster, the history teacher. Oh, re- plied Miss Anthony, cheerfully. “The senate has to ratify it; and then the President to—has to veto it; and then the House of Representatives has to —she hesitated for a moment and ‘nodded her head. | “Oh, yes; I remember now,” she , said. “The House of Representatives has to adjourn until the next ses- | sion.” MR. KING (examining some of the students in Hygienic science): “The great city agglomerations vitiate the -atmoshere. Morbifcrous germs es- caping from inhabited interiors, con- taminate the air round about. 1; the country, however, the atmosphere lemains pure. - _£¢ Money in Your Pocket You Will Be Sure to Save If You Recogriize J.
