KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. BAPTIST NATIONAL C B. Y. P. U. CONGR Delegates from Twenty National Meet—Rev. sas Was Electe Delegates from Twenty-one States Attend the National Meet—Rev. S. B. Butler of Kansas Was Elected the Treasurer Washington, D. C.—Great things have been pulled off from time to time in Washington, and when a fellow can come here for a few days he gets a kind of feeling that he is not able to explain. I feel like I am some pumpkins this week, because I am in Washington, the place where a big fight will be made to come in a few days. I am right here now, and the country did not elect me to come here, because I am not in the white house. I have been a party to a great event here, and the more I think about it, the prouder I feel, especially when I was placed in an automobile, and in a parade that would do credit to the parade they have here when the president takes his seat in the big chair, and the whole country fans him. It was a Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. parade, and you will readily see that it was important. They had several bands, little children on floats, little children marching, women and men marching, women and men in automobiles, and then just opposite the White House I was on the reviewing stand, looking at the marchers. Wonderful indeed. I want to take off my hat, and if possible would take off my head to Dr. W. H. Jernagin, chairman of the local committee, and Rev. M. S. Carver, who was chairman of the parade, and a master in that line. You se Rev. Caver is just out of the army. He was one of the men who had the praying to do for the sick and dying soldiers, and point out the way of salvation to those who were well and healthy. It was an important place, and I want to here thank God for his life and service. He has made good. Then, let me tell you that D. J. Nagin has covered himself with honor by rendering real active service. You may know a fellow is getting there when a convention of 2,500 delegates will pass a resolution commending him without a point of order and then vote him a gold medal. Such was the case, and I thank God for it. Let a man have a flower while he lives so he may smell it. I had a letter the other day from a lady whose name I withhold just now, who said: "Dear Col. J. O. Midnight. You sho' is one more good man and I admire your beauty." I have had a "Golddust Twin" smile on my face ever since I got that letter. But I am not to be compared with these big men I am talking about this week, and you will pardon me for a little while. I am talking about that man who was just born to lead me. Dr. Jernagin came to Washington but yesterday, so to speak, taking charge of the Mt. Carmel Baptist church, then in debt, and the people becoming discouraged, because they had struggled so long to pay a five thousand dollar debt. Dr. Jernigan put on a broad smile and in a few days the debt was paid.

There was groaning then, and some of the members said they would all be dead before they could pay such a debt, but they were encouraged when Dr. Jernagin spoke up and declared "I will not be dead." They entered into it, and within six years every cent of the money had been paid and the mortgage burned, Dr. Jernigan happy, they have money on hand now, and soon they are going to buy a parsonage for their pastor. Wonderful! He is also president of the National Race Conference which will meet in October in Washington, and people from all over the country will be here, especially those who are interested in the future. It is going to be a political session and a little before the election. We will know what is what and what to do through this meeting. But back to this Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress. They are here from 21 real states. Rev. W. D. Cannon was the presiding officer and he is a good one at that. Rev. E. W. D. Isaac held some big office but just what I don't know. He seemed to be something bigger than president, but just what I can't tell. Then there were the other officials of the National Baptist convention present, Dr. E. C. Morris, president; W. G. Parks, vice-president; R. B. Hudson, secretary; Joseph A. Booker D.D., secretary of the Home Mission board; L. G. Jordan, D.D., secretary of the Foreign Mission board, W. M. Haynes, D.D., secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board; S. P. Harris, A.M., assistant secretary; Charles Stewart, general missionary; S. N. Vass, D.D., fie'd secretary, and other distinguished Baptists. There is no question about it, it was a great meeting from many viewpoints, and it certainly opened the eyes of those who were there to see it. Rev. S. B. Butler, from way down in Kansas. He is treasurer of the concern. The secretary is from Kansas also, Prof. Sims, an editor, the corresponding secretary from Florida, Rev. H. K. Hill. Every session was full of interest and many good things accomplished. I was delightful to have heard all them experts turn loose and let the things come out that meant good for the young people. They pointed out a path that would lead upward. They wanted the church to take more interest in the social affairs of men if they would save them.

Have you ever met Rev. Dr. W. M. Hayces? He is indeed a great man and is doing things. He is just building up that publishing house, and fortunately for him he has some of the best trained men in the country to prepare the stuff for sis literature which is going into our Sunday schools. I am sure that you have been informed that Dr. C. H. Harris, president of the State University, is the editorial secretary; and Rev. J.T. Brown, a ripe scholar and man is the assistant, and then there ar other able men who are writers. They are just going right along now, building up a place, and when they ar through it will be solely the property of the National Baptist convention. Machinery is being purchased; the presses, typesetting machines, binding machines and all other kind of machines having to do with printing are in operation in Nashville, and they have had to get more room. A building will be erected. I don't know what you are going to do, to help to make American United States safe for democracy, but I want America's United States made safe for all American citizens.

Gregg Writes E Historic Place Where a K in the First Fight for We publish here a letter from our Associate Editor, G. A. Gregg, who is spending a few weeks on the historic grounds of the closing days of the martyred John Brown of Osawatomie, Kansas. Prof. Gregg is attending the summer school of the Y. M. C. A., which is being held at Storer College. We feel that our readers will enjoy reading a bit of this noted spot's history: Dear Editor Kennedy: Here I am, in Harper's Ferry and at S over College, the seat of the Chesapeake Summer conference of the Y. M. C. A. These are historic grounds. Have been looking for some recent history, i.e., your tracks around here, but they have had so much high water that there is no trace. They tell me that there was a farm house here in John Brown's time that carried, your name—the Kennedy farm. But to be serious. John Brown was here once. I see his picture and his name and the fort from which he fought. Then too, a large number of the people are coming here every day and Sunday too, to see the building that John Brown occupied in our interest sixty years ago. Now that is some time, for people to be hunting around for a man. The old fort, a brick building with four heavy iron doors, is used to keep war relics and other historical things in. It is as stated before, on the campus of Storer College, a school for colored people. Coming as I do from Kansas, and from the campus of Western University and more recently from Osawatomie, I am impressed with the idea that John Brown's soul goes marching on. People by the hundreds on Sunday pay one dollar each to taxi drivers to see this building and the battle fields. I have just returned from down the hill to Harper's Ferry, where I bought a pie baked by Mrs. Joanna Edwards, the only surviving colored woman who was here when John Brown was. She was sold on the auction block when she was but 12 years old for one hundred dollars in gold. Her mother and two children THE ORPHANS' HOME IN CONTINUED—IS HAVING The report Tuesday night at the Eighth Street Baptist church of the Orphan Home drive, showed the campaign to be quite a success. All Mr. and Mrs. Arch and daughters spent July 5th in Leavenworth, visiting relative sand friends. Mr. A. Baker, who has been confined to his home on North Seventh street, is some better --- ADVOCATE meeting in Chicago convinced me that there was something worth considering, for I am told that the women went before the committee credentials and demanded that R. C. Church, of Tennessee not be seated, and to them it was not a question whether or not that he was elected they just didn't want him seated, and he was not. Now you may shirk over this matter, for I am coming back with it again. I am sure you have heard from Wilberforce University by this time. Prof. W. S. Scarborough is no more (present), for he has passed in among the has been or the X's, and will have to content himself with the thought that he has been president of Wilberforce University at one time. He is a good man, but he and Bishop Joshua A.Jones have not been drinking out of the same cup for a long time, hence when Bishop Jones was assigned to the district, he decreed that there must be a new president for the school, and he got it at the meeting of the trustees in June. Dr. John A. Giegg, my friend from Florida, has been made president, and he will take hold. Of course he is going to have some work to do. There has been a real monkey and parrot time at this school for some time. Prof. Joyner found his head one day in the waste basket, and now it is covered by Dr. Scarborough and I am told it is the intention of B'shop Jones to land his son, Gilbert. We shall simply watch without comment. I will have to bring this letter to a stop. J. O. MIDNIGHT. THE ONLY FEMALE CARPER'S FERRY RAID Es Entertainingly of the a Kansan Was Hung for Race Freedom were sold for $400. She says her husband heard John Brown say: 'You may hang me, but there will be as many more follow me as there are hairs on my head.' Another George Washington, colored, is a survivor. It is interesting to talk with these people who were in touch with those stirring times. They are passing away, and their memories are not so good. We must catch their story or it will be forever gone. I saw four mules towing a boat down the canal and this right by the side of the B. & O. railroad. The toll bridges are still maintained. The bridge over the Potomac river and the one over the Shenandoah river both start from the state of Virginia. The first ends in Maryland and the second in Virginia. Five cents is charged to walk across them. There is a tunnel through Maryland Heights, through which two teams can run at once. The tunnel is over 1300 feet long. To have it become suddenly dark on the train by running through tunnels is a new experience for a Kansan. The mountains are on two sides of us. The waters of the Potomac are muddy, while those of the Shenandoah are clear. When they come together they appear like Kansas and Missouri. From my window I look down upon the Shenandoah. It appears shallow because I can see so many big rocks above the surface and under the surface, but I am told here are bottomless holes. In the college building I met hanging on the walls a familiar friend that made me feel at home—Dr. S. H. Thompson in a very good likeness. Quite a number of men are here attending the "Y" school. Our friend, Arthur Hardy, now of Columbus, Ohio, received a telegram that a little girl had arrived at his home. He counts two. Mrs. Jones who was in Africa, is with them and he is on the sea somewhere coming this way. More next time. Trust this finds you and Mrs. Kennedy well. G. A. GREGG.

The people in Weir City certainly know how to entertain visitors. There has never been any organization which has been so largely and sumptuously-fed, as, the delegates and visitors were at this session. Rev. Self, his members and in fact the whole citizenry of Weir City were ever on hand to make things pleasant for their guests. Mrs. Daily, on West Main street, entertained to a fine chicken dinner to a number of the visitors on Wednesday evening. Mrs. George Jackson also entertained at her home on Main street a group at a lovely dinner on Tuesday evening, and others, whom we did not get. The young people of both churches and others, were ever ready to assist in any way when the guests made known their wants. A loving, big-hearted and generous people live in Weir City. One young delegate from the metropolis loved the place so well, he tried to miss his train. MONROE TROTTER SPEAKS TO LARGE AUDIENCE William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, spoke to a large and appreciative audience Tuesday evening at Pleasant Green Baptist church. He talked on the Peace Conference and how he got there, having to disguise himself botr in person and in name, to get passage. While his story was lengthy, it was interesting. Rev. George McNeal, pastor of this church, served ice cream free at the close of Mr. Trotter's lecture. Judge I. F. Bradley introduced the speaker, and Mr. Considee Jenkins was master of ceremonies. The Knights of Tabor, one of the big fraternal orders of the West, will open next Tuesday a four-day session in this city.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. OHIO TO BE BATTLE GROUND Ohio is today the home of two presidential nominees and will be looked upon as the battle ground of the two great political parties. The editor, being personally acquainted with both candidates, being a neighbor of Senator Harding for fifteen years, and living in Governor Cox's home city several years. By all the odds, Senator Harding is much stronger in his own state than is Governor Cox, and has proved it on several occasions when both men were on opposite tickets. Governor Cox being an open and avowed wet executive of his state, he can hardly expect to draw in the wonderings of the minds of the major part of the Democratic party that follow the leadership of William Jennings Bryan. Oh the other hand, Senator Harding has the grass cut on both sides of the road, and the way is clear from every angle to a successful victory next November. DOES THE STAR WANT TO DIS FRANCHISE THE NEGRO? We know the Kansas City Star is a big publication. We know it takes big brain to run its plant, but with all of these "B's" it still seems to hang on to and cherish that little principle of trying to crush the weak or cause dissention among classes or races. We have noticed of late in a number of its issues, speaking of the colored citizens of the Kansas side, as to how they were being handled, as to signing petitions and registering, by one Mr. Henry Meade (white) We don't know whether Mr. Meade ever personally or otherwise, caused a colored elector to register or sign a legal petition, but if he did it most certainly showed his Americanism and fair, broad-minded citizenship. It does seem that the Star would rather not see the colored voters' names on the registration books. We don't understand why a paper whose influence should be for good would be a blessing to the people of this great Westrn rpublic, but instead the Star takes the opposite course. Now if the colored man is let alone he will take care of himself, and also be able to help take care of those who are everlastingly trying to keep him down, as a good American citizen. Mr. Star, "The White Swan," a play fathered by the Star and held at Convention Hall a few Crhistmassss ago, has not yet been forgotten. Rev. A. H.

The evening message was beautifully delivered by Rev. J. L. Green, to a good Sunday evening crowd of worshippers. Rev. Green has not been with us but a short time and all greatly enjoyed his inspired sermen. The Sunday school is still on the upward march for a greater and bigger Sunday school, while Superintendent Jones and also assistant pastor is taking special work at K. U., he is at his post every Sunday, coming from Lawrence. Rev. Jones has the work at heart and will make most any sacrifice for the betterment of the young people. The William Price Memorial rally will be in full blast Sunday all day. The captains have been hustling this week to hold their place among the high records. It is expected from this younger and newer group of leaders of First Church to see some past records broken. Bishop W. T. Vernon and his brother-in-law, Mr. Landor, attended the morning service; also Mrs. E. R. Howshan and Mrs. Kealing and daughter, all from Quindaro. A large number were out to the love feast Friday night. The class meetings are being well attended, and great blessings are being manifested. The Lord's Supper was administered at the close of the morning service. OHIO WILL BE HONORED WITH 'ITS SIXTH PRESDENT It will be Ohio's honor this year and for the sixth time, as to having the chief executive of this great commonwealth. As both of the leading parties' nominees are from the Buckeye state, Senator Warren C Harding, the Republican standard bearer, and Governor James Cox, the Democratic nominee, who was nominated on the 44th ballot at the Democratic convention at San Francisco Monday night of this week, after a strenuous three days' and nights' balloting. From a political analysis it might seem to the average politician there would be some politics having to disguise himself both in in this old pivotal state this camissue in the two presidential nominees will be fcaught on the wet and dry issue. Mr. Cox on the sea and Mr. Harding on the land, and it's a certainty some one will be at sea, when its over Mr. H. R. Stine is reported on the sick list this week.

Vernon and family, given by the church, community and faculty of Western University Tuesday evening, June 29, was the greatest ever given in these parts. The house was packed wit hthe bishop's friends and well wishers of many years' standing. Mr. T. G. McCampbell was chairman of the evening. The Rev. F. Jesse Peck, president of Western University, led in opening with a most touching prayer, followed by a solo by Mrs. Emma Indercott. Welcome addresses informal and many words of commendation were given by Commandant Densmore and Rev. E. R. Vaughan. Prof. S. French, with well chosen words of eloquence presented the Rt. Rev. W. T. Vernon, the speaker of the evening. The ovation was unique. It was several minutes before the bishop could get the ear of his audience. He was almost overcome with the hearty welcome and elaborateness of the occasion. With childlike simplicity, pathos, philosophical and humor he swayed his audience at will, as only he can do. Time and again he moved his audience to tears, laughter and applause, as he reiterated in detail the history of his past from an early date to his present standing as bishop in the A. M. E. church. Be kind, make friends and love much was his closing advice to his hearers. As he said this was the keynote to his many accomplishments and rapid promotion in our great church. Mrs. W. T. Vernon was next presented by the chairman. With well chosen words of treaderness she thanked the audience for their kind hospitality and spoke in high terms of the citizens of Quindaro. The program closed with remarks and announcements by the pastor, and a solo by Mrs. Jackson. Prof. Jackson accompanied her. The audience then repaired to the church parlors, where they were served refreshments in abundance. Much credit is due the committee on arrangements and the good women of our community for this great receipt. Our pastor filled his pulpit Sunday morning with much credit and great benefit to his heaters. He took for his subject "The Proper Memory" Text, Psalms 103:2. It was a powerful sermon. Many commended at the close of the sermon. An excellent sermon at the evening service. For a real good heart to heart talk that will give you inspiration, attend our church services. Mrs. C. M.

THE EYE All Work Guaranteed Kassel Jewelry Co. 548 Minnesota Ave. Kansas City Kansas METROPOLITAN · TEMPLE NOTES The extreme heat on Sunday, July 4th, did not deter a large number from attending morning service at the Metropclitan Baptist Temple. The corresponding secretary had the bulletin boards decorated with flags and the national colors; also the motto "E Pluribus Unum," as it was Independence Day. After a good covenant in which many testified, the pastor talked and after the offerory invitation to sinners, he performed the ordinance of baptism. At 8 p. m., Dr. Holmes preached from Matt. 28:20. Subject, "The Teaching Service of the Church." In part he said: "We should read the Bible more; everyone needs to get closer to the Bible." Also said: "Salvation does not hinge on the day we observe for the Sabbath, but on our faith in God." "Twas a very instructive sermon. The choir opened with a pretty hymn, the tune of Manoah; and Deacon S. L. Johnson gave the invocation and the choir then sang "Sun of My Soul." After the offering was taken, Prof. Brown of Arkansas was introduced and told of the needs of schools in his state. The Lord's Supper was given. The total ordinary collection was around the $100 mark. At a special church meeting last Friday night, a resolution was adopted to pay Dr. Holmes $150 a month. This shows how they appreciate his services here. Next Sunday, July 11, he will have fine sermons, fine music and the community at large has a standing invitation to this church, which has no peers, but is kind to all who come. "Take ye heed; watch and pray, for ye know not when the time is." Mary VIII-33. Mr. Needham Roberts, of the famous Fifteenth New York regiment, spoke at Metropolitan Temple on Tuesday night. Details will be given later. MRS. BAILEY DIES Mrs. Sarah Bailey. 947 New Jersey avenue, after several months' sickness, died Wednesday, June 3th and was buried from First A. M.

SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS --- The struggles of men ought not to make them selfish; but quest of the dollar seems to blind man to everything else. The commercialism of our times tends to shrink lives to the low, mean level of self-gratification. There is not any chivalry in business; it is just a cold matter of dollars and cents. The business world is one grand tango of indifference to the modest needs and requirements of the human heart, and the jumble of gold and silver is music to which progress has arranged itself. One of the mysteries of a large city is where those classed as "missing" go. The following is a list of girls who have disappeared from their homes in Kansas City, Kansas during the past two weeks.

It is charity without cant, which enriches the giver and does not 'humiliate the receiver.' THE CROWNING HARDSHIP Of the many witticisms attributed to the late Joseph H. Choate, our favorite is his famous toast to the fair sex, given some years ago at a dinner of the Pilgrims: "Women, the better half of the Yankee world, without whose aid the stern Pilgrims never could have achieved the historic title of the Pilgrim Fathers! The Pilgrim Mothers were more devoted martyrs than were the Pilgrim Fathers because they not only had to bear the same hardships that the Pilgrim Fathers suffered, but they had to endure the Pilgrim Fathers besides." Special from Kansas City, Mo.: "The telephone service has certainly improved since the raise in rates took effect. This morning I tried to get Main 1120 and got Main 1122. Before the raise in rates I never got within two numbers of the one I wanted. The raise in rates is certainly great." There are more ways of securing gold than by digging it.

We spend lots of time praying for Providence to help us, and it never occurs to us to surprise Providence by helping ourselves.

If I shirk todays task I shall be adding to my wasted yesterdays. If I postpone today's duty, I shall be increasing tomorrow's business. If I accomplish what today sets before me, I shall be doing my best to atone for yesterday's failures, and to prepare for tomorrow's successes. Therefore, I will endeavor so to use my time and opportunities that today shall leave me a little wiser and abler than it found me.—The Business Philosopher.
