CHURCH Watch for Program and Committees VOLUME VII TW Connectional an Pay Dollar More NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE MET LAST WEEK Philadelphia, Pa.—I have been some moving baby, believe me, and I am going to move some more before I get through, for after you read this letter I will be on my way to the National Baptist convention, which meets next month in Indianapolis, Ind., and when I get through there I am going to some other section of the country and see about growing up with the country. I am growing some these days. You are so interested in me that I will bet you a dollar to an egg sandwich that you are wanting to know just what I am doing in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. I am just making love with the world, for I shall some day have to leave here and I want to get as much information as possible before I do leave that I may be able to leave footprints on the stone of time. This has been a business league meeting. I must not forget to tell you that the National Baptist convention meets September 8 in Indianapolis, and if you can, be there. They are holding some good conventions these days, and the people are trying to hold understanding meetings everywhere and in every section of the country, and I am real proud of this. God has given us this big world, and He has made all the peoples, and there is no reason why there should be strife among them. Speaking of strife, I have learned to love Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, more than ever before, and if if I were not a male and he a male, there might be room for his wife to suspect our love. He is putting his very soul into this business of racial understanding, and we are seeing results. He reaches people that but few of us can reach, and when he reaches them he says the common sense practical things to them for us. He is our advocate in public opinion, and his utterances are not cringing, or insulting, but manly and strictly to the point. He uses that which will bring a man to us and not drive him away, and that which will cause us to join David in in saying, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." I am here this week with all the Sunday clothes I ever had, attending the National Negro Business League and if I were not here I would be in some other section of the world. It has been a great meeting and I have been able to mingle with some great men. Reaching here Monday night, I had my sleep and then I went out Tuesday to see this man's town, and honey, it is some town-too, but I was made to feel good when I touched the Malones. They were able to tell the people that I belonged to the Malone family, and had often been called the Poro Baby. This cause the people to look at me from a different angle. You see the Malones are some pumpkins in this section of the country. They had a Poro meeting in the afternoon at the Y. M. C. A., and got out of the way of the National Negro Business League. It resembled a National woman's convention, for there were so many agents there. I could not count them, but it looked to me like LET "PURITY" BE GOOD GOODS COURTEOUS Fresh Meats— Visit Our PURITY FO Seventh and Minnesota TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. she had five hundred, and they were kept busy during their stay in town looking after affairs. They have a regular Poro organization, in this city, and some day, expect to hear of them holding a Poro Ntiaonal convention. They have the people, and it can be done, and will be done some day soon. I heard the addresses, heard Mrs. Malone, the woman who has done so much for her race make a speech, and then all was over, for they went into executive session to talk about this hair business, and we men were fired out, but we were given some ice cream and cake. After the meeting, I met one of the man of wealth of my race, C. H. Douglass, of Macon, Ga., the man I told you about some few weeks ago, the man who owns so much real estate, the man who operates two theatres in Macon, and owns both of them, owns a hotel and a half of a block of ground right in the business section of the city. He shook my lily black hand just like he would the hand of some of them rich men, and invited me to join him at supper, and then go with him to the headquarters. I went to headquarters with him, and this put me in touch with the great big men and women. The first was Berry O'Kelly, having shook with R. E. Clay before, and had seen from afar Albion Holsev, private secretary to Dr. Robert R. Moton, and Warren Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee Institute, and a right hand man to Dr. Moton. Mr. Holsey is a young man and he is filling a place for which he is fitted. He knows how to make friends and how to work up the road. He is directly interested in the man he serves and there is a desire to serve and he is servnig, believe me, darling. He is the transportation agent for the National Negro Business League, and I would like to see him in the place he is filling, and that is the publicity director, for he gives much of his time to newspapers and newspaper men, and if you want any information about Tuskegee Institute or the National Negro Business League, or almost anything else, just ask this walking bureau of information. Dr. Moton is fortunate in having such a man. But now let me tell you some of the things I have seen. I have been touching men. I shook hands with Editor W. T. Andrews, and he is one of the strongest men in the race. He is a natural born lawyer, and then he is a man whose life is devoted to the uplift of his people. He just put his money into the Herald and published it in Baltimore every day until one day, he had to cry out, reducing the paper from a daily to twice-a-week, and it has been making some headway in this way. Mr. Andrews is a friend and a member of the National League, and a worker. You see he is one of the men who is not living for self, but for others. I am glad to be able to class him with my very best friends. I met R. E. Clay and others, and I will tell yo utish before I turn my attention to the things that happened in the League. Perry W. Howard, is one of the greatest men in the country, a lawyer from Chicago, and he is some lawyer, too, and he is doing business for his people. At one time it looked as if all Mississippi was trying to get his goat glands, but he is still working, and is executive secretary for the Western Division of the National Republican Committee, and is going KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1920 CITY :--- : PROMINENT MAN PASSES AWAY FUNERAL 25TH Thomas J. Anderson, living at 1040 Freeman avenue, passed away Monday morning the 23rd, at six o'clock. Mr. Anderson was brought home off his run a little over two weeks ago with congestion of the brain, and rallied only for short periods during his illness. Mr. Anderson was one of our ideal citizens and demanded the respect of everybody. The funeral was held Wednesday at 2 p. m., from the First A. M. E. church, of which he was a most worthy member. Rev. J. F. Griffin, his pastor, delivered the eulogy, which was beautiful. The Masons had charge of the body. The Pullman Porters' Association, of which the deceased was a member, turned out in a body. Dr. I. H. Anthony read resolutions from the West Lawn Cemetery Association, of which Mr. Anderson was a charter member, and being the first member to die since its organization of some two months. The deceased leaves a devoted and loving wife, two sweet daughters, a tender loving mother and two brothers, who came here and stayed at his sick bed until he passed away. The floral offerings were large, and many beautiful pieces. The family and relatives, including The Advocate, have the full sympathy of the community. to have something to say about who will be the next President, for we all know and believe that it will be Senator Harding. Mr. Howard is associated with Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, that great politician of our race, and more than a politician, for he is a statesman. Getting through with all this, I was delighted to see how the National Negro Business League did and did not indorse Senator Harding, for resolutions were passed indorsing the position of the two mea—Harding and Coolidge. They suit me and they suit others, and I want to congratulate Attorney Howard on getting this endorsement. Now, permit me to tell you that I came in touch with that worker of the race, Melvin Chism, of Salisbury, Md. He is just a race man, and is fond of his friends, and he shares with them. He ordered dinner for four one evening and to my soul I believe that dinner must have cost $25, but I don't know. J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Eagle, Washington, D. C., was one of the four, and he went off to get some Coca Cola and did not get back. This coca cola business is something awful, and it caused that editor to miss one more good dinner. They were to have chicken, fish and other good things. When those men failed to return, we had all the eating to do. There were four whole fish, two whole chickens, and Mr. Chism ate one, and I had to eat all the rest. No, he only ate one-half, and you figure how much went into my chicken eternity. He is indeed a genius. It was indeed a pleasure for me to meet some real men at this meeting, and it looked to me that I would rejoice my fool brains out over all these big men. There was the Rev. Mr. Wm. F. Seay, from Toronto, Canada, who came in to get some business inspiration and to see what was, going on. Some one had put into the paper that Marcus Garvey was president of the whole Negro race in America. Rev. Seay Is president of the Colonial Federation council, and he is a worker. There was one of the most writ- ingest men in the country, W. A. A- very, of Hampton Institute, who is with us so much until he is just one of us, and he shook hands with me, afid then I had the pleasure of meeting one of the most remarkable men in the whole South, Prof. Richard T. Kerlin, of Lexington, Va., and teacher in one of the leading schools in the state. He is a man who has been touched by the hand of God, and who is trying to do the will of Him who gave him to the world. He is pleading the cause of humanity, and of course that includes us. He believes in every man having his rights in a country like this, and to that end he is willing to speak and do anything else honorable to bring about the results. He can plead our cause as we cannot, and he claims to be a Southern man so long as he is not classed with the Vardeman-Tillman-Dixon crowd, who would use Negro vituperation to ride into office. He is not a substantial horse to ride, which time will provo. Beresford Gale president of the ADVOCATE :::::: : ELKS HOLD LARGE CONVENTION IN KANSAS CITY, MO The Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks of the, world held one of their largest sessions this week on the Missouri side, Kansas City. There were fully fifteen thousand in attendance from every part of the country. This was its Twenty-first Annual meeting and the order has grown to one among the strongest fraternal organizations in the country. The order is made up of some of the leading men and women of the race. The parade was spectacular, including sixteen divisions, with bands galore from all parts of the country, with marching clubs dressed in handsome drill costumes. The divisions and bands were loudly cheered all along the line of march, and at Eighteenth and The Paseo, where they passed a huge review stand, filled with city officials, grand officers of the order, cheer after cheer rang out from twenty thousand throats, who were massed on the streets, windows and house-tops. Ten thousand Elks and friends attended the Grand 11 o'clock ball at Convention hall, until 4 a.m. Mid-West Lodge No. 233, lead by its Eminent Exalted Ruler, Q. J. Millmore, and the Daughters, never let up for a minute in entertaining their guests while in the city. Elkdom will go on a boom in the West. Gale Corporation, Philadelphia. This is a real estate company with a capital stock of one hundred thousand dollars, and all paid in. It is putting things over for the race. He was an active man in the Business League. President Moton just went right on over the top when he delivered that strong and practical address. He was presented by Hon. J. C. Napier, and believe me when I tell you Mr. Napier made some more speech. He showed that he was some speechmaker. The question is settled now and forever. I must move on and bring this letter to a stop. Many things have caused me to rejoice this week. There were many social functions, and I got into a good many of them. The night of the banquet, they were laknig some pictures, and I got in line, and was getting along nicely, until Honorable Charles H. Brooks, vice-president and chairman of the local committee, spied me, and I wish you could have heard him hollow at me, telling me to get out of the way or I would spoil the whole picture. I know I was born in the dark of the moon, and at home. There was no McKinley tariff on color when I came along and I got some real dark goods mixed in me, and I knew that Brother Brooks was afraid that I would shade him, or out some dark coloring on his beautiful complexion, and I desire to beg his pardon for thus intruding. My mother and father have both left this world, and if I could get in touch with them now I would ask them why they made me a lily black instead of a lily yeller or even white. But that is not my affair. I was not consulted as to whether or not I wanted to come here. God placed me here as a pleasure knot, and I am trying to do my best. I shall have to talk about other things in my next letter. Mr. Leo Norman and Carl Roach of Topeka visited Mr. and Mrs. E. E.

Mr. Jacobs was very popular here and a brainy young man. His splendid wife and parents, who are well known here, have, including The Advocate and staff, the sincerest of sympathy in this, their hour of bereavement.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. AFRICA WANTS NO NORTH AMERICAN NEGRO AID According to Prince Madarikan Deniyi of Lagos, Nigeria, who is in New York City learning to operate a moving picture camera, the African Negro enjoys the greatest freedom and resents the interference of outsiders, especially on the part of North American Negroes, the descendants of slaves. The prince says: "I cannot understand what Garvey means when he says that the Negro intends to plant the banner of freedom on the continent of Africa. * * He can only have himself elected president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in New York City. Liberia has elected her own president and Marcus Garvey must respect him, if he intends to establish headquarters there." WOMAN SUFFRAGE Last week, the grand old commonwealth of Tennessee, in a most dramatic and chivalrous manner, did a thing that Kansas did many years ago. Kansas has had no cause to regret her action, but many reasons to be pre-eminently proud of it. In fact, this example of Kansas has gone no little in influencing other states to follow her lead. Men, if they would admit it, have never had any valid reason for withholding suffrage from their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters, for all the reasons that they have advanced against it have really been tacit admissions of women's superiority. Men have flattered themselves that by preventing women from voting and hold office under their protection, they were dispiring chivalry. The fact is and has been conclusively proved that woman, unhampered, is her own best protector, and that she possesses a peculiar, irresistable and inimitable power of protecting others. The strongest argument advanced against her voting is that the necessary absence from her home would cause it to suffer. Those supporting this view have overlooked the fact that the family with a deceased or invalid father has produced some of the most upstanding people that our country has reared. $ ^{1} $ Now we are really becoming a government by the consent of the governed and fulfilling the prediction of the eloquent Wendell Phillips: "The first glimpses we get of Saxon blood is that line of Tacitus in his Germany, which reads: 'In all grave matters, they consulted their women.' Years hence when robust Saxon sense has flung away the Jewish superstition and Eastern prejudice, and put under its foot fastidious scholarship and squamish fashion; some second Tacitus from the Valley of the Mississippi will answer to him of the Saven Hills: 'In all grave matters, we consult our women.'" THE ST. LOUIS CLARION. The Independent-Clarion of St. Louis, last week removed from its title its scarce crowns, resumed its former name, The St. Louis Clarion, changed management and entered upon a broader and more comprehensive program. The Advocate welcomes Col. Rpscoe G. Simmons and his staff into the world of Negro journalism. Hear his sterling declaration: "The destruction of useful colored men and women will not be a principal object of this publication. To the contrary, to hold up their hands and send them on with words of praise and appreciation of all their efforts and hopes will be the policy of the Clarion.

It was a most beautiful and pleasant August Sabbath. 1 The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, delivered a wonderful spiritual sermon on "Death Depreciated." It was a profound, scholarly discourse of the ology. His hearers were filled with the sweet essence of Christ. 1 The auditorium was filled again at the evening service when the pastor preached equally as strong a sermon as the morning discourses. The entire audience seemed to be as was experienced at the 11 o'clock assemble, in a Christian mood to receive the message. New members connected themselves with the church at the close of the morning service and eighteen were taken in as full members at the close of the evening service. The senior choir, under the direction of Mrs. Jackson, and organist, delighted the audience at 11 o'clock with their Gospel songs and anthems. The junior choir, with twenty-five voices, sang sweetly and feelingly at the evening service. Prof. Wise, is the chorister and organist for this choir. Those who miss services are robbing themselves of a great treat, both sermon and music. The Sunday school is still growing in number and interest Parents will do well in sending their children to Sabbath school. The class meeting on Friday night and prayer meeting on Wednesday night are growing with great progress and those who attend are getting such blessings from them. If one wants to be spiritually strong these meetings are the sourced by which to attain the power. Next Sunday, the 29th, will be a big all-day waiting on the Lord. It will be "Connectional and Charity day." The members will pay their dollar money and be given an opportunity to give for charity. A fund is being gotten by the Pastors' Aid Board to assist and relieve many families in the city during the winter who are less fortunate than some others, furnishing such things as coal, food, raiment and Christmas baskets. Let us at least help take care of our own. Dinner, lunch and ice cream will be served all day at the church. Pastoj and Choir at 3 P. M. Rev Osborne and his singing choir of Ebenezer of the Missouri side will have charge of the service at 3 p.m. Dr. Osborne is a great Gospel preacher, and his choir is the best in the two cities. Dr. Griffin will fill his pulpit Sunday morning. Come and hear him. Many visitors and strangers were introduced to the church Sunday. The contribution for the day was $197.00. Visitors and strangers are ever welcome. depends upon the rise of colorad people to the accepted standard of the citizen, and upon nothing else." NEW ASSOCIATE EDITOR The Advocate has been fortunate in securing to take the place of Prof. G. A. Gregg, who resigned as associate editor and has gone into Y. M. C. A work, Thos, Knapper, of this city. Mr. Knapper is one of our leading enterprising citizens, and is well qualified in every respect for the position. Mr. Knapper is one of the very efficient deputy sheriffs of Wyandotte County. He will take up his duties immediately and the management is asking that all courtesies be given our new associate editor that is due this office. The Advocate feels proud in having such a strong and intelligent character on its staff as Mr. Knapper. Mrs. Sargent A.

Willis, Mrs. Dr. Knapp and Mrs. Dr. Offord, all of Chicago; Mrs. Hill of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Dr. Holmes, Kansas City, Kans.; Mrs. W. J. Wilson and sister of Sioux City, Iowa. Other guests were present. A delightful time was spent. They say that Mr. Kemp, at 939 Washington boulevard, has married. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES At the morning service, the pasto preached a very good sermon. Many of the large congregation praised it. At its close he led in singing that beautiful, sensible and truthful hymn, "I Need Thee Every Hour." Mr. Richard Lowe, who is in Los Angeles, trying to recuperate his health, sent word for the church to sing "That Awful Day Will Surely Come." It made an impression. The choir then sang the well known hymn, "Higher Ground," so all the people could join in the invitation. It was very inspiring. At the night service Pastor Holmes preached another able sermon. Through the efforts of the church advertiser, and the prayer of the righteous, large crowds are attending at night too. (Besides this the church holds more than some which soon crowd to overflowing.) When the invitation was extended some joined by Christian experience and some as candidates for baptism. Come and visit us or join our church. We don't make a great noise to frighten you. If you are sincere in it, you can shout God's praises, too. But remember, God can come as a still small voice; and Christ told Nicodemus, being "born again," is as mysterious as the wind which blows. We cannot see it, but can hear the sound and all we can realize it as it comes the moment we truly believe. "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."—St. Matt. VII-20.

Elder Harris proved by the Bible that the soul was the natural body of men and women, and proved that the soul rested in the grave until judgment day; then it will be raised a spiritual body. Elder Harris is from Omaha, Neb. He spent several days here in this meeting. He left last Wednesday for his home to see after the church he is pastoring. Tuesday night, Elder Collins of Parsons, Kansas, preached a wonderful sermon. He was followed by Elder Harris. He preached his departing sermon and his subject was, Clearness and a Clean Life. He spoke so plain he let every preacher know that if they were not living the life that they should they were on their way to the lake. Many rejoiced at his magnifying sermon. The State Assembly started August 24, and is going on daily. Elder J. H.
