Caters to the Ponies But Many Good People Are There Portsmouth, Va.—I have been somewhere and I have seen a few things since I saw you the last time, for when I wrote to you last I was just getting around at the meeting of the National Negro Business League, but you may bet your bottom dollar that I am far from that now. I have been passing for white and this has been in order to find out just how a white man feels toward us when we fail to land in a higher position. I want to be able to know how I feel as a white man and then I know how I feel as a member of my own race, and what I have done to show them how wrong they are. But that is neither here nor there. I am way up in the air and every time I turn around now I hear ringing in my ears "they are off," and then I stop whatever I am doing to see them run. Now you wonder what is the matter with me, and since you want to know it, it becomes my painful duty to tell you it is just none of your business, and if you don't like this I am liable to tell you more. Have you ever been to Saratoga Springs, New York? If not I would advise you to take a trip there and toote your money along with you, if you please. It calls for money, and then there is money there to be had if you can get hold of it, but just now you will have to find out from some other source, and I am not advertising the Saratoga business. I went there, and then one day I went out to see them horses run, and believe me honey they had a helluva time there one trying to beat the other running, and it looked like they would just leave the earth. You know as well as I do that I was at the meeting of the National Negro Business League, in Philadelphia, and just how much real good I got out of a visit there. I mingled with all of them big men, Dr. Robert R. Moton, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Major Allen Washington, Robert E. Clay, Editor W. T. Andrews, Prof. and Mrs. Aaron, E. Malone, and all the Poro College bunch were there, Editor Fred R. Moore, Albion W. Holsey, Berry O'Kelly, and a host of others. Well, it is a pleasure to see these men, but a few brief moments and then we fled in opposite directions. I went to Newark, New York, and then bought me a ticket and made it on what is known as the Hudson Day Line boat. It is a great thing to sail up the Hudson as I did. I got on that big boat, and did not know a soul on it, when I boarded. I looked at the sights along the river until my eyes were gently kissed by that noted goddess Morpheus, and I all but left this earth. Just how long I remained in such company I cannot tell, but I sought dinner when it was over. I walked into the eating room, and was escorted to the desk and forked my way down in my jeans, dug up $1.50 which purchased a eating ticket, good for one meal only. It looked to me like I would just eat my fool self to death. I will not be able to tell you all the things I had in that eating room. Then I looked around on the boat, and met some of the young men who are getting ripe enough to pick as doctors, lawyers, dentists, merchants and other kind of busi- SCHOOL OPENS MON WHERE TO GET YOU THE SMITH & THOMPKINS AND COMPLETE STOCK OF SUPPLIES.

Kansas Annual Conference Convenes on Sept.13, at Parsons The Kansas Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church will convene next Wednesday September 15, at Parsons. Rev. T. W. Green is pastor at this place and will finish his sixth year with these people. He has completed one among the finest houses of worship in the conference. Rev. Green and his people have planned to entertain one of the largest conferences in its history. It is also looked for to be a record-breaker in point of annual reports. Bishop H. Blanton Parks, of Chicago, who has been the presiding bishop of this, the Fifth Episcopal district, with untold success for ten years or more, will preside. ness men. The first to claim my attention was Richard N. Gregg, who is destined to be one of the great men of the race. He is getting ready for his A.B. course. He fills a position of responsibility and trust in this big boat. It was not long before the young men had me way down in the luchn room feeding me until I wanted no more. In this number were the Hampton students, and other schools. They were Foley Ross, Dr. F. C. Jackson, Milton Peek, Moses Johnson, Richard N. Pegg, Edward Austin and they were all on the steamer Hendrick Hudson. When I got to these men they just gave me a royal time. They will be heard from out in life. I just rode and rode until Albany was reached, and off that boat to the stable where I boarded a carriage for Saratoga. If you have never been here, no one will ever make you realize what it is to be in the place with all kinds of water boiling up out of the ground, and people who are rich to day and poor tomorrow. Their wealth depends in the running of the horses and their ability to tell what horse is going to beat the other running. Now you have gotten that much by keeping still and not saying anything. Reaching there about 9 o'clock at night, there was a committee at the stable to meet me, and pretty soon Mr. Joseph S. McLane joined the party. They wanted to vote me in a automobile, but I had been riding all day and wanted to walk, hence I walked through the streets of Saratoga, and attracted much attention, because of my personal beauty. On the way to the Grand Union Hotel, where I was to stop, we met Headwaiter J. S. McLane, who received me like he would a brother, and assured me that I was welcome, and that room was already, and it was. Fruit and other good things in the room, and this was where I was to spend my days, and nights, and then I was shown where eating was to go on. The next morning I had breakfast with the headwaiter in a special private dining room, yet I was introduced to Headwaiter W. H. Sims, of the ordinary, or special dining room. This is one more big hotel. About 200 waiters, and they have the following heads or officers: J. S. McLane, of Jacksonville, Fla., the head of them all, and then comes S. C. Jordan, second waiter; L. E. Wilkerson, third waiter; John J. Jerry, fourth waiter; W. H. Sims, headwaiter, ordinary; W. C. Willizms, head private waiter; B. C. Waller, dining room clerk; George D. Johnson, headwaiter cafe; Ed Hall, captain cafe; Eugene Christian, captain cafe; Ed Harris, captain Southern grill. These are the men with whom I came in contact during my stay and many others, whose names I do not remember. I have told you about Mr. McLane (Continued on Page Three) The presiding elder of the Fifth Episcopal district, who will open the Kansas Annual Conference next Wednesday, September 15, at Parsons, Kansas.

End Comes to Wife of Noted Minister After Long Illness—She Was a Patient Sufferer Mrs. J. R. Ransom, the estimable wife of Rev. J. R. Ransom, passed away at their home in Topeka, 1726 Topeka avenue, last Thursday evening, about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Ransom had been a sufferer for about eight months from paralysis, but the family and friends still held out hope for her recovery. She was a devoted Christian mother and companion, whose life for more than thirty years had been spent in this state, as a Christian minister's wife and counsel. Mrs. Ransom was a friend to all mankind and especially to the preachers, her home being open for their reception at all times. She had a legion of friends in this city, having lived here for many years, her husband, Rev. J. R. Ransom, being pastor of First A. M. E. church and he was also presiding elder for a number of years over the Kansas City district. She leaves to mourn her demise a loving and devoted husband, one daughter, Mrs. Ethel Ransom-Henderson, whose husband is pastor at Hutchinson, Kansas, and four sons, a number of relatives and many friends far and near. The funeral was held Monday at 2 p. m., from St. John's church, Topeka. The husband, family and relatives including The Advocate and staff, have the deepest sympathy in this, their hour of sorrow. The fourth and last quarterly meeting for this conference year of the First A. M. E. church, will be held this Sunday. Rev. J. A. Payne, presiding elder of the Kansas City district, will be in charge. Ministers and their members of the two cities will be present at 3 p. m. when the communion, service will take place. Corporal Broadnax of Fort Riley, visited Mrs. Sergeant Lumpkins and daughter, on Nabraska avenue, and left Monday evening for his post of duty. Mr George Brooks, one of our prominent citizens and efficient mail clerks for many years, at Packers Station, by request has been transferred to the office at St. Paul, Minnesota, and left last week for his new post. His lovely family will join him later. We regret very much in losing this most excellent family. ADVOCATE Capital Washington, Sept. 6.—Destroying military associations that had obtained in Massachusetts for fifty years, when Secretary Baker refused to permit Company L (colored organization) to rejoin its old regiment, was generally remarked throughout the country, but this disposition to discriminate against the colored soldier is nothing new with the Democratic administration. Studied humiliation, either inspired or condoned by the war department was the rule in France, and the discouragement of combatant troops of soldiers was generally followed. It is being remembered in Washington that when the administration was having its brushes with Mexico, official cognizance of white valor and black valor varied in remarkable degree. Huerta had refused to salute the flag and the United States marines landed in Vera Cruz. Several white boys met their death, and when their bodies were returned to this country, the President very properly journeyed to Brooklyn to do honor to their memory. His words over those brave boys were classic and fraught with tears. Later, when the brave black boys of the Tenth Cavalry, after performing deeds of heroism striving to save the lives of their white commanders, fell in defense of the same flag, it is said that the Democratic administration treated the incident in a different manner. The colored boys were brought to Washington for interment with the honors of war at Arlington. Friends had assembled to follow them to their graves. It is being told on good authority that Joseph Tumulty requested the people who had made arrangements in hand to have the funeral procession go out the deserted streets so that the dirge would not disturb the slumbers of the occupant of the White House. Mrs. Pauline Washington, wife of Dr. Washington, 2602 North Hallock street, was in Hutchinson, Kansas, last week visiting friends and on business. CHIROPODIST Mrs. C. P.

Opened Monday With Large Attendance—New Teachers Monday morning at 10 a.m. Western University opened its doors for the beginnig of its work for this scholastic year. The opening was far greater in attendance than any previous opening, and by the middle of next week the dormitories will be filled up, according to applications already received. The faculty this year has a number of new faces, but the most of them come with experience in college work. President Peck says: "From all indications this year will surpass all 'brmer enrollments in the history of the school.' While the work has started off in fine order, it will take a week or too to get every department adjusted and running smoothly. The matron, Mrs. Curry, reported ninety girls in her building the first day. The school is now on the accredited list of all schools of its kind in this state and the west. IN MEMORIUM (Mesdames B. Monroe, M. Jackson, and Austin selected Mrs. M. C. Matthews to compose the following poem for the Neighbors' memorial for the late Mrs. Luvenia Williams:) Don't grieve, for 'tis God's holy Will And His decree He must fulfill, Our neighbor's now in His control She's changed to an immortal soul. She fought life's battle bravely, too And only done what we must do And though we sigh and mourn and weep, She is not dead, but is asleep. Be brave, and in your earthly needs Just emulate all her good deeds, And live up truly to God's Word; And always follow Christ our Lord. In Luke, Christ tells us for our part To love the Lord with all lour heart, That means, beware of Satan's elf, And love thy neighbor as thyself. Be patient, and live right and pray; So when we leave this mortal day, We'll meet her in that Heavenly Place With our dear Saviour face to face. Be steadfast, and like dear old Paul, Who would let no more sin install, Allow no sin on this earth's sod. To separate you from your God. So you can say from a true source Ive fought and finished a true course. Ive kept the faith, now for Death's cup, I'm ready to be offered up. Then will our Christ, the Holy One. Say "Faithful servant, you-ve well done. Enter my Heavenly joy and be True Neighbors, for Eternity." (Copyrighted 1920, by M. C. Matthews) Fort Scott, Kansas Miss Berthena Hunter and her brother, Jasper, left with their mother, Mrs. Isaac Hunter, to enroll as students of Western University. Miss Hunter is a senior of the High school and has served for four years as a faithful secretary of the Wayman Sunday school, and Mr. Hunter is a freshman and a general favorite. Prof. G. E. Watson of the Plaza school, and Miss Mattie Bruce were united in marriage by Rev. Tillman at the bride's residence on South Lowman, Thursday at 4 p. m. Their many friends wish them long years of happiness. Miss Beatrice Reeves, who has been visiting her sister in Akron, Ohio, had the pleasure of a tour that included all of the big eastern cities to the coast, and returned much refreshed to the school room. As a result of the concerted action of the colored citizens the colored children will not have to attend school in the old Plaza building, which has been condemned, but will go to Convention Hall until a new school is secured. Mrs. K. D. Tillman has returned from Topeka, where she spoke on "Visions and Tasks," at the St. John's church for the Mite Missionary society.

While the weather was a little moist more than two thousand employees with their families and friends enjoyed themselves socially. Field sports and planty to eat and drink. The company had one hundred gallos of ice cream, one hundred cases of soda pop and six hundred pounds of brabecued meat. This was the first picnic the company has given their employees and judging from its success, they probably will make it an annual affair. The large committees were kept busy in serving the people from early afternoon until late in the evening. The field events were greatly enjoyed, of which the company awarded a number of prizes. Events were as follows: 30-yard dash, girls under 14 years old. One gallon of fruit, won by Miss Elizabeth Price, 1722 Madison street. Baseball throwing, carton of bacon, won by John Strater, 402 Miami avenue. Nail driving ladies' contest, carton Maxine Elliott soap, won by Miss Fay Reed, 2123 Campbell street, Kansas City, Mo.

The Merchants band entertained the picnickers with excellent music all the afternoon. Several of the company's officials were present to see that plenty of refreshments had been ordered to serve the people. This company deserves credit for its thoughtfulness and hospitality in an outing of this kind for their employees, and it's without saying the employees and their families greatly appreciated the worthy act. Col. C. P. Edwards, of Wichita, and one of the court balliffs of Sedgwick county, stopped off for a few hours in the city on his way down in Missouri. He made a short call on the editor while here, which was much appreciated, Mrs. Etta Scott-Holaway returned to her late home Monday at Horton, Kansas, after some weeks here with her father, Mr. Scott, 259 North Ninth street.

They also attended a fishing party and hay ride. Mrs. Zenobia Harden of Chicago, is visiting Mrs. Tena Johnson, 1009 Freeman avenue. The Church is not infallible, it is a divinely instituted growth, as really a growth as is an oak tree. Left to itself it would grow, mighty, perhaps, but wild, but the glorious truth is "The Father is the husbandman." The CHURCH is often pruned and trimmed and sterilized. When from the CHURCH there spring branches of thought and sentiment that sanction wrong it is certain that in the future as in the past they will be cut off.

MEMBER • NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. The day has never yet dawned when the A. M. E. Church lacked for men of audacious daring and yet meek It was urged as an argument against the division of the Fifth Episcopal District that the churches along the Pacific were dependent upon Missouri and Kansas for pastors. The next quadrennium will emasculate that argument. At no time did such an argument have weight with those who know our Church. From the beginning until this hour the Church of Christ has had men ready and willing "to go into all the world". Where are the graves of the men of Palestine who were immediate followers of the Christ in the Flesh? Are they among the valleys or on the hillsides of Judea where the bones of their ancestry moulder? Is it not true that they found graves in far away lands? Where is the grave of Daniel Coker, who was one of the founders of the A. M. E. Church? Where was the birthplace of the great Bishop Ward whose voice still rumbles among the Rockies?

A large collection was taken up. At the evening service a large number were present and Pastor Holmes preached the text, "Let not your hearts be troubled," which was well received and greatly enjoyed by many. When the invitation was extended Mrs. McGee, of Memphis, Tenn, was among the joiners After a large collection was taken, the table was set for the "Lcrd's Supper" "Down at the Cross," was sung and drew the Christian minds back to the Crucifixion. Such appropriate hymns as "Must Jesus Bear the Cross?" "Nearer My God," and "Dark Was the Night." were sung pathetically, and the Holy Spirit silently filled each true believer's heart. Outside of the collection for general expenses, over $200 was given to Pastor Holmes to go to the Baptist National Convention at Indianapolis, Ind., after which he will finish his three or four weeks' visit for recreation. Noted ministers will preach in his pulpit during his absence. Come out next Sunday, September 12th and hear some great apostle, which we know the officers have procured.

He is a leader of men and a great general. I was indeed glad to have the pleasure of reviewing his army of over 200 men, who are filling their places. Then there were women who worked under his department, and they are loyal and faithful to the man who knows how to treat all people well and recognizes the fact. that they be human beings. Now you want to know what happened to me-during my stay in town. I just looked to looked my fool brains out, and became drunk off of the various kinds of waters in town, boiling up out of the ground. It was wonderful. You talk about eating. I wished that I just had a thousand stomachs during this stay in town, for I never had so much fine eating since I have been the color I am. Eat and eat, and then at 1:30 in the afternoon, I had my dinner, and in company with Headwaiter Sims, was on my way to a great big open house where there were thousands of people. I don't know when I have seen so many people. Mr. Sims bought a program, and said come over this way until I can see who is scratched. He was talking a foreign language to me. I saw him look at a blackboard, and then scratch something off of his program. Then we went up to that big place where all the people were white and black mingling together. We took a seat near one choromo, and she moved over, like she thought some of my black might rub off on her. Well, there came to Mr. Sims, two young women of our race, and asked to let them see his program in order that they might note what had been scratched, and one of them said, "We are playing them." Yet I did not understand the language. They looked, and then I heard one woman say, "Bet on this one; he is sure to win." Next then came the time, and I heard a bugle blow, and Mr. Sims said, "They are coming out," I asked myself, "Where am I at? Is this a circus?" I saw prancing horses, with men on them in different kind of colors, and then I realized that I was at a horse race, a real race. They pranced around for a while, and then I heard the cry, "They are off." Honey, I wish you could have seen them horses run. They all but flew. It was a lively contest between fourteen horses. They were in all kins of shape, until they turned the last corner, and then it seemed that they just left the earth. I never saw such run- N DRUGGISTS MEDARIS DRUG COMPANY Set and Troup Avenue, K.

When it was over I heard a man say, "Hell!" and it was then I learned that he had just lost $4,000 and there were smiles, and there were other smiles.

I mingled with big races. I mingled with big people in the evening, going to a reception to Bishop Lee, of the A. M. E. Zion church. He was assigned to this district by his general conference last May while in session in Kroxville, and he was looking them over. I also met Rev. K. Samuel Stewart, a brilliant young minister of the Methodist Episcopal church. He invited me to take dinner with him at the, Mrs. S. C. Reeves, from New the fine cafe conducted by his sis-York.

The first issue of the Women's Missionary Recorder, under the new management, Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman, of Fort Scott, Kansas, who was elected editress-manager by the late General Conference, is out. If this initial issue is to be an earnest of the future of that paper, the missionary society and the church have just cause for congratulations. "I dont' understand" said Miss Cayenne.

Green has done a great work there during his pastorate and stands today among the most successful pastors of the Kansas Con- ference. He will entertain the annual conference this year, which meets September 15th. Dr. J. R. Ransom has paid off the entire indebtedness on the church at Wichita, and will pay balance on parsonage before the sitting of his conference. Dr. Ransom has done a wonderful work there during his pastorate, in spite of the fact that Mrs. Ransom has lain at the point of death for so many months, and each week he had to divide his time between his charge at Wichita and at the bedside of his afflicted wife at her home at Topeka. Mrs. Ransom, wife of Dr. J. R. Ransom, our pastor at Wichita,, Kansas, is at her home in Topeka, severely ill. Mrs. Ransom has been very ill ever since the middle of May. During all the months, she has lain at the point of death, each day expecting to be her last. She has had four different strokes of paralysis. Dr. Ransom has the prayers of the church for the recovery of Sister Ransom from her illness. Mrs. Young — My husband says I am his right hand. says I am his right hand. Her Mother—I hope, my dear, he isn't a man who never lets his right hand know what his left hand does. "Is there any moonshine liquor around here?"

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 hygiene 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.
