OF P.'S There Are Parts of This Country It Is Hard to Land a Bed Car in, Our-Correspondent Asserts Birmingham, Ala.—I am sure you will agree with me that I have been going some this summer, and perhaps you have thought me to be the most ridigest man in the country, and I think you will be almost right. The white man invented the railroads the bed cars for us to ride, and then he invented the money for us to pay for riding; the only thing is to get hold of the money. There are some parts of this country wheer a fellow has a heluva time in trying to get in a bed car, and then they will not sell you, and some of them will look you right in the eye and tell you that all are sold, and they are lying right to your face. I will rejoice when I can have the pleasure of seeing some of these sincursed, lying, Negro hating folks and Charity Day money ::: But I will forgive all of them who have lied to me to keep me from enjoying life, and will ask that they get ripe for the kingdom of God, for I don't want any man to go to that hot place, where he must burn and burn, and keep hot all the time and never get cold. The devil hasn't manners enough to furnish his special guests with a fan during his hot days. He could get more people to abide with him if he would only install a few electric fans for cooling purposes. I would that there was some way by which we could get an understanding way down south, for after all, the most trouble is due to misunderstanding. It was utterly wrong for me to think all white folks are bad and mean, and it is equally unkind for whitefolks to think that all of my people are bad. We have good and bad in each race, and they start something which often ends in a killing. Where blood is involved, we are sure to get the worst of it if it becomes a race issue. I have been dealing with thinking people this week, and I have been really so happy that it was all I could do to keep myself from flying heav- --- KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1920 CITY enward, and it looked like I would just go up there whether or no one day, when I saw a wealthy white woman, Mrs. C. P. Orr, of Birmingham, and Mrs. Carrie Tuggle, unite hands in an effort to do good things. Now here are two remarkable women one white and the other—well, she is on my side of the house and you would not have to have a magnifying glass to tell it. The Lord whel he was fixing Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, "he fixed it so that there would never be any danger of her flopping away from the race. She is with us and she is going to stay. Mrs. Orr has learned that I wish all of the other people will learn that this color line is fast and will neither run nor rub, and will not get on them. She has decided that her duty is to as God intended, to help her sister. She has gotten under one side of the load and is helping to tote. There are other white women who are asking, "What will you have us do?" and Mrs. C. A. Tuggle is perfectly willing to answer the question and put them to work helping to build Tuggle Institute. So we are working together in the unplift work. This week I am here seeing the Knights of Pythias and the Court of Calanthe hold their annual sessions, known as grand lodge and grand court. They are here as thick as fleas on a dog's back. The Pythians have held their meeting in their new purchased hall and the other people—well, they are here. Sardis Baptist church on Enon Ridge has been taxed to hold the Calanthe sisters. Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle is the Grand Worthy Counsellor and she has as her guest Supreme Worthy Counsellor Ernest G. Tidgington of Evansville, Ind. I am sure you will remember him. If you don't know him ask any lawyer in Indiana, and he will just tell you that Tidrington is a lawyer and he succeeded in breaking by the bar when they did not want him admitted to practice law in Indiana. It was last August at Atlantic City, N. J., that he was selected to succeed General Joseph L. Jones. It was a close race but Tidrington being a young man, out ran Jones, and he is now the supreme head of the order, and is making good. As he goes over the country, he makes friends and therefore he is able to render some real service to our people. He has covered the country since his election, and going right into the hearts of the people. He likes the position, for it gives him a greater vision and he is willing to use it for real uplift. He is doing some talking these days, and in this way reaching the people. If you would help a people you must be able to reach them. They must have confidence in you. I desire to direct your attention in an attentive manner to Mrs. Fannie Coesby-Blevins, who is sojourning in Chicago, but whose real work is right down here in Alabama. In Chicago she is with her companion, and downand down here she is etao and down here she is with the people for whom she has worked so long and the people who really need her. She is a well trained woman, and a real leader of women. She is right by the side of "Old Lady" and has been for years. She is what we call a secretary, but they call her the register of deeds, which means the same thing, but it is split up in two words. She knows her business on books. It was indeed a pleasure to come in touch with the women who are workers for the Lord and fr their own people. Mrs. Blevins is a woman who loves to work, and she rolls up her sleeves and goes to it, just like she would go to a royal meal. She is here at work this week, but will return to Chicago, and remain until they call her down here, which is likely to be next week. She holds an important office in the Supreme Court. There are two young women in the Supreme Court who would make it, Mrs. Norene Davis of Kansas, and Mrs. Fannie Blevins of—well, place her right here with us. I have been talking about Birmingham, but I have not told you how I got here, but I will do so right away. I came here on the train, of course, and I thought you knew that. I was up the road when I wrote you last. One whole day was spent in Nashville, Tenn., the guest of Dr. J. C. Caldwell, a great preacher and leader of men. He would have been one of the bishops, and I prayed for him to be, but he did not get enough votes. He was told to wait a few years, and then they will go back and get him. With his heart full of love for service, he will enter the pastorate somewhere this fall or some other active service in the church, and he will be a man among men. You will hear from him from time to time. His wife is also a fine worker in the church, and a woman ADVOCATE :::: : = : who is willing to serve. I enjoyed being in town. Sunday morning I spoke at First Baptist church, the Rev. McDowell, pastor, and in the afternoon, I spoke to my friends, and in the evening, I was—well I spoke at St. Paul A. M. E. church. It made me feel that I wanted to be a bishop and really I am one of the bishops of the Baptist church. The Baptists are making great preparations for the National Baptist convention which will meet in Indianapolis, Ind., in next month. It will open September 8, and remain in session until the 13th and I expect to be there. I am trying to get money enough together to get me a real new suit. Will do it if I can, and if I can't then I will leave it out. You should attend this meeting if you can make it convenient to do so, for there are many grave questions to come up and to be settled, and then it will be an important meeting. The Baptists are going to undertake to do greater things in this country, and I am proud of it. They are going to make Rome howl. They are going to dig right into life. Dr. C. H. Clark, Jones, Boyd and others have gone south with the publishing house, and the convention, under the leadership of Dr. W. M. Haynes, have just gotten hold of another plant and are building it up. People are flocking to the house, owned by the denomination, and they are going to give it their support. After while it will not be possible for some one to go into court and show that we do not own it. But this is not what I am going to talk about. Get ready to help to elect Harding president of the United States. He is the deserving man and he is needed right now to save our country. If we tail to elect him then the country is doomed. God get into the hearts of the American people that they may do the right thing. I will bring this letter to a close. I will be in Philadelphia before you can read this letter, and perhaps in Saratoga Springs, N. Y. I am now headed that way. Mrs. Frank Barker and son of Ft. Smith, Ark., are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Franklin, 433 State avenue. Mr. Barker is one of the leading business men of his city and owns several hundred acres of bottom land. Mr. Barker is negotiating for a large farm near Kansas City. Mrs. S. Rollins visited her husband at the Soldiers' Home and says he likes it fine in Leavenworth. Miss Leila Plummer and her sister, are visiting in Hutchinson, Kas. DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK ABOUT IT? In the hurried scenes of life, while everything floats along smoothly, you do not use safety first as to yourself until something reminds you very forcibly. The health and nygiene of our existence requires as much attention as the helpless child, only our methods are slow to discover the necessity of self-preservation, the law of nature. I was not aware of the weakness from exposure to the germ of disease that affected my throat and lungs until I obtained a small pamphlet that explained my symptoms, which I immediately accepted as the truth and at once followed the suggestions and bought a bottle of Rose Bay from our good friend and advisor who has made many happy homes through his timely advice and encouraging experiences related to him from others who are now well and happy.

HARDING Famous Colored Women Misquoted by Southern Newspapers and As- sociated Press in Interview. Chicago, August 18. — Recently hundreds of Southern newspapers and as many Democratic publications in the North carried an interview purporting to come from Miss Hallie Q. Brown, president of the National Association of Colored Women, professor at Wilberforce University, brilliant teacher of expression and famous woman in which she is reported to have said that the "Republican party has been asked for a plank in its platform and had given a splinter." In a letter addressed to Phil H. Brown, publicity director of the Republican National Committee, Miss Brown repudiates the interview as a sample of Democratic duplicity, and announces that she is doing everything in her power to elect Senator Haruing to the Presidency. "Dreadfully Misquoted" "I have never had any doubts of our Republican party," writes Miss Brown. "I was dreadfully misquoted by those southern papers. They did not print what I said about the Demacrotic party, and that I was returning home to work for Herding." The Democratic party offers the colored people absoluteley nothing. Its activities are all invested to take from them every civic right and privilege they secured under the Republican party, yet its papers do not hesitate to stoop even to a point where they misquote a woman in their zeal to create any sort of dissatisfaction in the Republican party. Miss Brown is a sister of the late Jere A. Brown, of Cleveland, one of the pioneer members of the Ohio legislature and a great friend of Senator, Harding and William McKinley. It is understood that the famous elocutionist will have a big part in the work of organization among the colored women of the country. This is practically arranged for soon after the National convention had adjourned ein June.

HARDING. THE MAN OF THE CRISIS Fortune placed your editor for fifteen years as neighbor to Senator Harding. During these years, contact with him was such as to afford a close observation and keen insight into his character. He is safe, sane, and dependable. His word is never broken, because it is given only after the matter in question has been deliberately and thoroughly weighed. While he may not be alwr making a noise about a square deal for the Negro, he acts it. His words about the Negro in his speech of acceptance are from the heart. He means every word of them. It was in 1903 in his campaign for Lieutenant Governor that in the company of the late Senator Hanna and Governor Myron T. Herrick, to Sidney Thompson he exclaimed: "Sidney, if ever the opportunity presents itself, I will give race prejudice as black an eye as Lincoln gave slavery." Does not that ring true? But what could you expect from a studeat of James Benson Foraker? To his way of thinking the Negro ought to enjoy the privileges and meet the responsibilities of every other group of American citizens. He feels that the Negro wants no special favors, but simply to be measured by the measure of real ideal Americanism, as set forth in the Declaration of Independence and acted in the closing days of the great Emancipator, Lincoln. A man of the people, acquainted with their struggles and aspirations, his sympathies go out to the ordinary people, and their welfare is nearest his heart. The life of this upstanding, approachable and purposeful man indicates that he will not be aloof to any, but will be President to the whole people, not in words only, but in deeds.

Mr Hodge also spent some time with friends at Washington, D. C. The civil engineers were running their lie for a new railroad when they reached the farm of an old fossil who had never been off the old home farm. "What be they doin'?" said he to a bystander. "Surveying for the new railroad," was the rejoinder. "They never can build 'er," shot back the fossil. A few days elapsed when the construction gang arrived and commenced to throw up the grade. The curious old fossil was on the job. "What be they doin' now?" he asked, and the answer came that they were making the roadbed over which the trains were to run. "They can't do it;" persisted the fossil. Next came the laying of the rails, and the old man came out again to satisfy his curiosity, and was told that soon the great engine and countless cars would be running over the shining strings of steel. "They'll never do it," said he, and the next morning a great big locomotive stood quietly opposite his home. He rushed out in amazement and asked the track superintendent what the "animal" was. "Wait a minute and you will see it move and then you will understand," he was told. Walking up to the engineer he eyed him with evident suspicion. "You can't start her!" he declared, and the old head shook his negative belief. Just then the engineer opened the throttle and the pulsating engine of power moved majestically forward, rapidly disappearing in the distance. The old fossil planted his feet far apart, his hands resting firmly on his hips, and the pupils of his eyes dilated until they fairly burst from their sockets. It was a full moment before he recovered his speaking faculties, and then his voice, pitched to an altitude heretofore unknown, broke the silence with these words: "Well, be gosh; they can't stop' er!" ing Praise and Giving It.—Rom. 1:8; Thess. 1:2-10. Special papers and essays will be rendered on the subject. Come early and enjoy a live enedevor service. The Right Rev. W. T.

You are welcome. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES At 11 a. m., a large congregation listened to Dr. Holmes preach on the subject of "Love." Many hearts were inspired. He closed his sermon by singing, "My Sins Are Taken Away." The choir sang "I'm Coming Home Today," as the invitation was given. Just before the offertory, Mr. Cordelle White, one of the best baritones in the city, sang a farewell solo, "Face to Face," attuned to the beautiful sheet music tune. He was accompanied by Mrs. Holmes on the piano. It impressed the congregation and the hope it is a good omen of his safe turn, as he left for Colorado Syringes Sunday night to try to recuperate his failing health. The choir and church will miss him. After a large Sunday morning collection, Mr. Albert Bradford, a former member, but now in the Quindaro church was given more than $12 for his church. Pastor Holmes led the congregation in singing the beautiful ful, "There is a Fountain." At the evening service, many came to hear Rev. M. C. Sishuba, ex-sergeant Missionary of South Africa, student of Roger Williams University, preach. He said: "His text would read thus in the Greek version: "And I if I, Jesus, be lifted up, I will draw all men to me." He preached very intelligently and fervently; also showed that he is a true follower of Christ. You could almost see the Holy Spirit hovering over him. He made a wonderful impression on his hearers. He served overseas with the British army. At the close he asked all to join in singing "Lord Remember Ma." The pastor then had some voted into the church. After a large collection, they gave the visiting minister more than $12 as a testimonial and many bought his picture. He will return some time, to Africa, to lift up Christ to his countrymen. Come next Sunday, August 22nd "And as ye would that men eshould do to you, do ve also to them likewise."—Luke VI:31. Bethel A. M. E. Church (Stewart Avenue and Water Streets Rev. W. B.

Mrs. Della Holman, daughter of Officer Wesley Robinson, is very sick again at her homee, 2317 Euclid avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Paris, France—The first show of autumn fashions has frightened off American buyers, on account of the shortness of women's skirts. The new style skirts put out by Parisian designers are shortest since the fig leaf days. One model, which the French dressmakers admit is "fairly daring," includes a skirt composed of front and rear panels reaching to the knees. The panels are sewed together only part of the way, so that the slightest of wind blows them apart. Fashionable designers suggest that women who wear the new backless evening gowns decorate their bare shoulders with "beauty spots," to emphasize the display of cuticle. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Pattrick, of 905 Ohio avenue, left Thursday, the 19th for a three weeks' trip through the East.

Wyandotte Building Fifth and Minnesota Avenue Drexel 117 Home KANSAS CITY, KANSAS BLACK AND WHITE Making Politics Contribute to the Best Interests of All the People As a White Man Sees It In accepting the invitation of the publisher of The Advocate to contribute a weekly column to this paper, the writer assumes personal responsibility for anything that shall appear in it. He hopes, in his travels, campaigning and preaching over the state of Kansas during the next two months, to materially increase the circulation and influence of The Advocate and expects to meet many prominent and intellectual colored men and women, who will receive favorable notice in this column. Those readers who may have been interested in the utterances of the "Kansas City Bee," (temporarily discontinued) will find its policies continued here. John H. Lee (Negro), Republican candidate for the Kansas State Legislature from the Ninth district, is a strong man and a very popular and able one. The colored race must have more of such men in the legislative assemblies of this country. As the writer has stated from the committeemen for Wyandotte county, held at the court house in Kansas City on the 13th inst., to elect a new chairman, secretary and treasurer for the next two years, not a colored person was permitted to open his mouth to speak fifty continuous words and even what the writer of this item attempted to speak in support of a colored clergyman who had just been squelched by the chairman, all rules of parliamentary procedure were arbitrarily set aside and he was called to order by the presiding officer as soon as he announced his purpose. It won't do, gentlemen, and you are going to find it out to your cost! If you expect to retain the support of the Negro voter (meaning one-fourth to one-third of the entire vote) you must accord them some semblance of public respect and fair representation. As the writer has tasted from the platform on many occasions, Lawyer Dorsey Green (Negro), of Kansas City, Republican candidate for presidential elector is easily United States senatorial timber. All colored voters, as well as those thousands of white voters who are in sympathy with the rights of the Negro, must see that he gets there eventually. Mr. Green is strong spiritually, intellectually, morally and personally, and would serve the interests of the whole state of Kansas at Washington as well as any and perhaps better than most white men do. Samuel C. Walker (Negro), the successful colored Republican candidate for marshal of the North City Court, Kansas City, will perform his duties efficiently and can be trusted upon all occasions. Don't fail to give him as rousing a support at the November election as he received at the primary and another step will have been taken toward that repre- FREE COURSE IN HAIR AND BEAUTY CULTURE MAILED FREE UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS "SEND NO MONEY" THE OZONIZED OX MARROW CO. 46 W.

Mrs. Neutie Tucker (Negro), or Argentine, is one of the ablest workers among our women of Kansas. She is not only a popular and capable worker at social gatherings, but most efficient as a presiding officer at meetings. Tenants in Chicago are organizing against the "rent hogs" of that city. It is high time Kansas City followed suit. I will publish in this column the names and addresses of all "rent hogs" that may be sent to me who I find, after careful investigation, have advanced the rent upon a house, office or building as many as two times during the past year without adding improvements commensurate with such advance. The writer knows of one woman house owner who has advanced the rent on a small dwelling within the past year from $12 to $15 to $18 and is now demanding $20 for the same house, without a dollar's improvements, and who will get it because of the scarcity of houses. This is a species of privateering that is contemptible and without the law and should at once be taken in hand by the people. Can any colored voter in Wyandotte county tell the writer of this item why, when he called on David F. Carson, chairman of the Renublican county committee, at 645 Minnesota avenue, Kansas City, about the middle of June last, and obtained a list of the Republican candidates, the list furnished showed the names of: (1) A. J. Stanley and Charles Holbrook (white), candidates for Representative from the Eighth district, with the name of Forrest B. Anderson (Negro), omitted; (2) Paul Ditzen (white), candidate for Representative from the North district, with the name of John H. Lee (Negro), omitted; (3) James Fee, Jr., Jack O'Leary and Con Enrigth (white), candidates for Marshal of the North City Court, First District, with the name of Samuel C. Walker (Negro), omitted? The writer still has the list furnished, written in pencil by Mr. Carson's own hand, and he would like the following information: Is the chairman of a county committee, in Kansas, supposed to represent only the white candidates who file for an election, or is he supposed to represent all the people, including the very large, respectable and influential class of colored people in our midst? The writer is not very well versed in the methods and customs pursued in this section and of course cannot be expected to know much about politics. Perhaps Mr. Carson himself can tell me? And perhaps such as this was one of the reasons why Mr. Carson was not a candidate to succeed himself as chairman? ENOCH N. MINER. HORTON AND SABETHA, KANS.
