KANSAS BASEBALL ASSOCIATION PARK SATURDAY AND SUNDAY OCTOBER 2nd and 3rd DOUBLE HEADER, SUNDAY—2 P. M. K. C. MONARCHS VS. INDIANAPOLIS A. B. C'S COMING October 9 and 10—National and American League Stars AND MONARCHS WOMAN DISHES OUT SENSATIONAL ROT IN KENTUCKY DEMOCRAT TALK Augusta, GA—I am the movingest man in this country if you have followed me for the past four or five month you will be inclined to say that there is some truth in it. For last week I was in Indiana, Kentucky and now I am way down here in Georgia, and I will not be in this place, but a thousand or more miles away from here when you read this letter. Just now the attention of the country is turned on the making of a new president to take the place of President Woodrow Wilson, who must retire next March, and we are all planning to make Senator Warren G. Harding his successor, and I can see no reason why he should not be. Both sides are getting in line, and my party is getting in good shape. That democrat parity is certainly a small party, and when they get out of material they try to go to the front and elect their man on race prejudice, and hatred. It must have its origin in the bed of that infernal region, and in my opinion they stand for murder, race hatred, race prejudice, lynching and all the other man things. I want to quote from the Lousville Herald a few days ago, and you will see what I am talk' about and will justify me in what I have said. Here it is: "Harrodsburg, Ky., Sept. 18.—Mrs. John A. Fulton, of Bardstown, opened the Democratic campaign here this afternoon. A large crowd of women heard her. She dwelt at length on the danger of the colored women's votes if not offset by 'the ballots of the better element.' She said that there were some blots on Kentucky's history, but one of the worst was Governor Morrow's 'stage play of military law' at Lexington recently to protect a Negro brute." This is the kind of rot the Democrats are dishing out. Keatucky was saved from disgrace, when Governor Morrow by force allowed the law to be upheld, and the man who had committed a henious crime was legally executed. In doing this he saved many a white man from being murderers, it kept down their thirst for human blood. God give us many such men. I have no unkind word to say about the woman who voiced the sentiment of her partv, but I have in mind a heluva lot to say about that party who would send man or woman out to criticize a man who dare do right, and to raise a race question in order to win. Such party belongs where the devil makes his home. I have the pleasure of attending the emancipation meeting in Frankfort, Ky., and to have seen how the people turned out. Men and women of both races were present, and some of the leading white men of the state were present and the speaker was Charles Stewart. I expected to see this fellow shake, but he did not. Whilst in the city he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Brooks, and Miss M. E. Williams. It being his birthplace, of course the people were anxious to see what he was going to do and what he was going to say. He did his did and said his said, and I shall not comment on it at this writing. He is an out and out Harding man. I learned that much about him, if nothing more. I looked around Frankfort. came in touch with T. K. Robb, the undertaker; Prof. W. H. Mayo, the principal of the Clinton Street high school, a man of great parts. He had been sick during the summer, but I am proud to say that he is getting to be himself again and is looking like himself in youth. He has done a great work, and I heard Stewart say that he touched his life, and that he was indebted to this great educator. I also had the pleasure of coming in touch with D. E. E. Underwood, the leading physician, and the Rev. Dr. Hall, a prominent A. M. E. preacher, Miss M. E. Williams, the teacher, and many others whose names I will not have time to mention. I left Frankfort bright and early Thursday morning, going to Paris, Ky., where I went to the home of Prof. F. M. Wood another noted educator and man. He was busy in the school room, but hitched up his automobile and came for me, tooted me over to the school. They are just doing things at this school, and I was proud to see it. Prof. Wood is just a man who believes in his race. I met most of the teachers, but since I cannot remember all of their names I will not mention any of them. Time will not permit me to enter into everything in one day. It was 11 o'clock when I got on the L. & N. train and started for Atlanta, Ga., reaching there about 11 o'clock at night. I did not want to go to the home of any of my friends so I went to Mrs. Craig's, where they keep roomers. I purchased a room for the night, paying one dollar for it. I was just in the act of going to "Nod" when I heard a steturious voice "Attention." Now this must have been a dream, but when I jumped up, I found one million bed bugs ready to make a charge. I took a straight aim at the general and sent him right on out of the world and then charged the others, and when I was through the battlesheet was drenched with blood and 9,999, one on the battlefield, and the others, making good their escape, and I was so exhausted that I would not follow after them. I am going to render a bill to Mrs. Craig before I get through with this letter. I have many friends in Atlanta, and the next time I am going to look up some of them, I care not what time of night I may reach town. Bright and early next morning found me headed for this section of the world, over the Georgia road. I met Dr. W. D. Cannon, president of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and a man of affairs. He is one of the leading preachers in this section of the world and has charge of the educational work for the place where I am today. I have been having an old Aunt Dolly time here, and I am going to have some more of it before I am through. Here is where the Walker Baptist Association is having its 52nd annual meeting, presided over by the matchless Dr. G. T. Walker, that great preacher and leader of the people and a man of great ability. Here is also located the Walker Baptist Institute, a school supported by the Association, and these Baptists here raised for their school work at the session held one year ago, $22,000, and they declare that $20,000 must go on the table at this time. I can only say "Amen, brother Ben, some one killed a big fat hen." The people were here from everywhere. I had the pleasure of meeting many of them. Reaching the city I was assigned to the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Sweet, and he is one of the leading men in that city. He is the assistant district manager of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance company, and chairman of the Trustee Board of the Springfield Baptist church, of which the Rev. J. M. Nabritt is pastor, and his wife is the sick claim clerk in the office, and you will see from this that it is a busy home. But in the face of all this I was made welcome to the home, and it is a home when you are there. I was delighted to get around and see some of the things which were going on in the town. I am now about ready to leave. I shall try to tell you how much money was raised in my next letter. Look out for me. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1920 W.

CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, O Under Which THE LEAGUE UNION THE WORLD WINNER From the Bound World to New York Powell in the Omana SUMNER NIGHT SCHOOL OPENS —OTHERS FOR ELDERLY FOLKS According to promise at the commencement, the Board of Education will open night school the first Monday in October at Stowe school and Argentine. Rooms will be opened for the old people only, who are not able to go so far, and pay car fare. At Stowe and Argentine only reading, writing and arithmetic will be taught to the old. Those who want the many other subjects, viz: Auto training, public speaking, manual training, Spanish, sewing domestic science must enroll at Summer High. All are invited to avail themselves of the opportunity and make the enrollment larger than the large enrollment of last year. Remember, Monday, October 4th at places mentioned. PROF. J. P. KING, Principal, PROF. M. E. PEARSON, Supt. of City Schools. PROF. PATTERSON LEAVES FOR NEW FIELD OF LABOR Prof. J. E. Patterson, who has been teacher of science for eleven years at Western University, declined to accept the position offered to him again by the State Administration Board of Kansas to become the Dean at Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas. He left 9:30 p.m., Wednesday for his new field of labor. Mrs. Patterson will join her husband later. They will not move their household goods this year. Presiding Elder Payne and wife will have charge of the home. The community loses one of its best. families and will greatly feel their loss in community life. Augusta is one of the hustling towns of the country. We have banks and bankers, doctors, lawyers, merchants, politicians, businessmen. Here where lives Hon. udson W. Lyons, a brilliant lawyer and man, and I had the pleasure of meeting that educator, Prof. Silas X. Floyd and his wife. I have mentioned the Springfield Baptist church, which is the second oldest in the country, and I am told the oldest of my people. It has an undisputed record of 130 years, and has an unbroken record in racial service and uplift. It was organized in 1790, and I am told that there is on record a Sunday school as far back as 1850. They have a silver communion service which was purchased in 1860, and they have members now who were members before that famous war, which resulted in our freedom. In all these years the church has had only 10 pastors, the present one, Dr. Nabritt, is the youngest it has ever had, and he is an aggressive eyewoman. H is a graduate from Morehouse college, an officer in the state and national Baptist conventions. I think I will bring this letter to a stop, for I have said all I know this week, but I shall have more for you in my next: J. O. MIDNIGHT.

SENATOR HARDING'S PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE SPEAKS IN K.C. In the Person of Hon. Chas. A. Cottrill of Toledo, Ohio On Wednesday, September 22nd, Greater Kansas City had the pleasure of inspecting and being inspected by a man of distinction and unique position. Hon. Chas. A. Cottrill, of Toledo, Ohio, is indeed distinguisher! because he has served his country faithfully and well in the capacity of collector of revenue at Port Honolulu, during the Taft administration, and at present a member of the National Republican committee. He is credited by dame rumor, with being a personal friend and advisor of Senator Harding, serving as such in a highly confidential capacity. He addressed a large audience at the Auditorium Theatre Wednesday evening upon political issues—and in eloquent and burning periods, pictured Senator Harding, as dedicated definitely and irrevocably, to the protection of the Negro in the exercise of all the rights of American citizenship and by Federal aid to put down lynching. During the day he visited Lincoln High school and addressed the student body, mainly upon the necessity for thorough preparation and excellence of achievement. He called attention to the fact that he was addressing them upon the 58th anniversary of the "Proclamation of Emancipation," promulgated by the martyred President for whom the school was named. He also voiced his surprise and gratification at the sight of the more than 700 high school students the same being nearly as many as there are colored students in all the high schools of Chicago. The students led by their cheer leaders, accorded him a demonstration which will longer in his memory. He spent Thursday in Kansas City, Kans., after a break fasting at the home of Tillford Davies, Jr. he was then conducted to Sumnor High school, where he addressed the student body, giving a highly entertaining and instructive talk on Hawaii, which was greatly enjoyed by both faculty and pupils. In the course of his remarks he took occasion in finely chosen words and vividly descriptive phrases to draw the distinction between Democracy in its general and its specific forms, and urged his hearers not to confuse the Democracy which President Wilson was dishing out in Paris with the brand of Democracy he was offering to the home folks. At the conclusion of his remarks Dr. S. H. Thompson took him for a tour of the city in his superb 7-passenger car. The editor has agreeably known and associated with Mr. Cottrell for a number of years both being borned and reared in the Buckeye State, where business and social matters often brought them together. There is no man of the race who stands more pre-eminent in worth, service for his race and country than Charles Cottrell, of Ohio. For seventeen years and eight months he was honored with the office of chief deputy recorder of Lucas County, having under him fifteen clerks. As a brainy orator he has but few equals of any race.. Mrs. Arthur Younger was entertained at several functions before leaving to join her husband at Detroit. Rev. W. H. Mixon of Alabama, who is on the National Republican Speakers' Bureau, spoke at the Republican headquarters Saturday even was just from a speaking tour in the ning to a large crowd. Dr. Mixon East. He visited his brother while here, Dr. H. M. Mixon, 453 Nebraska avenue. My Dear Mr. Kennedy: Many requests, because of the article in the Advocate last week concerning the mother of the lamented poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, have come to the undersigned about starting a fund. Mrs. A. E. Malore, founded of the famed Poro College, Pendleton and St. Ferdinand avenues, St. Louis, Mo., drew the attention of the colored world to Mrs. Matilda Dunbar's condition. Hence I am forwarding my mite to her and would recommend others desiring to assist the distinguished mother to do the same. Yours with esteem, WILLIAM H. DAWLEY, JR.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. AS USUAL. As usual, the Republican candidates of Wyandotte county are depending wholly on the colored voter for their election in November, and still a number of these nominees ever has shown any appreciation towards the seven thousand colored electors of this city and county. This will not always be so. Men's minds change. WHAT IS THE MAIN ISSUE WITH THE NEGRO Wednesday evening, September 22, 1920, at the Auditorium Theatre, Kansas City, Mo., Hon. Charles Cottrill gave a most admirable address to a very limited, but intent and appreciative gathering on the issues of the present campaign, or rather what the Negro is to expect if Harding and Coolege, or Cox and Roosevelt, are to reside in the National Capital for the next four years. To the minds of all present the speaker made it clear that all of the rights and privileges (as limited as they are) that the Negro enjoys were gained nationally through the Republican party; and of whatever Negroes are deprived nationally and especially in the southern states the Democratic party is responsible for. However, among all the issues, the one paramount to the Negro, he declared, in that calm, serious, impressive yet attractive manner, was the attainment of the full estate of man; that the League of Nations, the Tariff, the excessive campaign contributions and all others are to the Negro simply side issues; that so long as the rights of one Negro in the heart of the South is in jeopardy, the rights of the Negro in the most sequestered and the safest section of the North is at stake. He admitted that he has been called old-fashioned for entertaining that view; still the fact remains that Democracy is not safe until every man, the black man, too, is in the fullest enjoyment of life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Mr. Cottrill's viewpoint is fine and cannot be gainsaid. The Negro, however, must not allow his own ills to close his eyes to the ills of the world. For was it not Terance, one of Rome's most brilliant poets, despite his African extraction, who sang: "Whatever is of human interest is by no means foregn to me." And too, did not the incomparable Wendell Phillips score Kossuth, the noted Hungarian, who in pleading in this country for his fellow countrymen, had no word for the American Negro slave; but laud the peerless O'Connell, who could pause in his great fight for Irish Home Rule, to strike a crushing blow at Negro slavery. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Again during the pastor's absence a large crowd gathered, although it was raining, at the morning service to hear Bishop W. T. Vernon preach. He is a fine scholar and was at his best. All say it was a most wonderful sermon and greatly enjoyed. They also gave him a large collection to take as a memorial to South Africa. At 1 p.m., Mrs. Fannie McMillan's funeral was held under the auspices of the Household of Ruth and Chapter. Rev. Bouldin preached the funeral. After the funeral, the Knights of Pythias, Uniform Rank, held their Annual Sermon. There was a large crowd present. At the evening's service Rev. Alva Royston preached fine as usual. Large collections were taken up during the day and next Sunday the officers expect Pastor Holmes, to fill the pulpit, and expect a large audience. So come out.

CHURCH NEWS Although the weather condition was quite inclement, a fine congregation was present to both morning and evening services to worship God in His purity. The (new pastor) Dr. . F. Griffin, was present and took charge of affairs for his fourth conference year, and the members and friends were as happy to welcome him back a sthey were at any period since coming here. Dr. Griffin did not fill his pulpit as intended, his old friend and colleague, Dr. W. H. Mixon, from Alabama, dropped into the city Saturday, filled the pulpit. Dr. Mixon is one of the church's great Gospel preachers and his sormon was a spiritual treat to his friends and worshippers of First Church. Presiding Elder J. A. Payne, who was transferred at the last Annual Conference to the Omaha district, delivered the message at the evening Jservice, which was greatly enjoyed. The spiritual side of the church is becoming noticeably revived, and in a few weeks, a revival under the superpervision of one of the church's noted evangelists, will be launched. He will come from a distance and through the prayers and consecration of the Christian people a great battle will be waged against sin in this city. Every household who would like to see this city and community rise to a higher standard min morals and the community life made better, are being asked to get their house in condition for this sinkilling campaign. Let's drive this demon dragon from our homes, and where once its presence was a terror, misery and gloom, place there in its stead happiness, cheer and sunshine. Make a heaven here on earth. Watch for the date of the coming of this great evangelist. There are being good class services every Friday night. Come and share the blessings that are in store for God's people.

Ransom, the beloved wife of Rev. J. R. Ransom, was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, May 14, 1861; and died in this city September 2, 1920. Her age was 59 years, three months and 17 days. Her mother and father, Mrs. Agnes and Mr. Arnold Brooks, passed to their sweet rest many yars ago. Sister Ransom was married to Dr. Ransom November 23, 1881. To this happy union was born nine children, seven boys and two girls. She came to Kansas with her husband 33 yars ago last July. She has shared equally with her husband and children in all their sorrows and joys, their successes and failures; and in the hour when their burdens were greatest, she was ever cheerful to encourage him to lean upon the mighty arm of Jesus. She was unassuming, yet always ready to do whatever her husband as pastor assigned to her hand; she always had a ward of comfort to the parishioners wherever they served. No night was too dark, no storm too severe for her to face when duty called. Without complaining she sacrificed her means and energy to make it pleasant for her husband's ministerial friends. She strived by precept and example to teach her children that those who would have friends, must show themselves friendly. How well she succeeded in this great lesson of love and trust her own children and many friends are living evidences. Sister Ransom was converted and joined the A M. E. church under the preaching of her own husband, August, 1884. She lived a faithful and consistent Christian all these years. She was stricken by the hard of affliction six months ago today. At her last visit to St. Paul church at Wichita she said to her friends, "I shall never be back here again." Dr. J. L. Ransom was called to visit her in Wichita, after her return from Hutchinson, where she had spent three weeks in an effort to recuperate at the home of her daughter, Rev. R. C. Henderson and wife, who with their loyal and loving members, rendered every assistance that human hands could furnish. Dr. Ransom insisted upon his mother coming home. On April 29, Dr. Henderson brought her to her home here at 1726 Topeka avenue, where resides her eldest son, Mr. William S. Ransom and his wife and family. When they had placed her upon her bed to rest she said, "I shall never leave here until I am carried away." She and her children insisted upon Rev. Ransom, her husband, going on to the General Conference and discharge his duties just as though she had not been stricken. Dr. J. L. Ransom rendered every assistance that science and medical skill could afford to counteract the affliction from which she was suffering. Following the return of her husband from the General Conference all of her children and their families, two of her sisters, her husband's sisters and brothers were summoned to her bedside, where for the most of the time they remained faithfully watching and caring for her—assisted by the members of the Eastern Star—until the messenger of peace called her to her reward. No patient ever had better care from physician, children, society and friends than she, no patient ever endured their affliction with greater fortitude and unfaltering trust in God than she. She was ever conscious of everything and person, and when she called her children around her bed she said, "Be true to your God, loving to each other, standing firm by each other, take care of your father who has always cared for you, and at the end of your labors meet me in Heaven. For while I know I am going I would like to live for Louis' sake. He has worked so hard to keep me here." She passed to her peaceful rest without a struggle. She leave to mount her translation a husband, Dr. J. R. Ransom, six children, three sisters, with a host of other relatives and friends. Her children are: William S. Ransom, Edgar B. Ransom, John R Ransom, James L. Ransom, M. D., Ethelyn L. Henderson wife of Dr. I. C. Henderson, and Turner Payne Ransom. Her daughters-in-law are: Mrs. Lillian. Mrs. Myrtle and Mrs. Jennie Ransom. Her sisters are: Mrs. Susan Newcome, Mrs. Maria Childress and Mrs. Henrietta Gentry. "She is not dead but sleepeth." Mrs. Emma Davis of Memphis, Tenn., is visiting Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Griffin at the parsonage 1111 North Eighth street. Rev. Griffin was Mrs. Davis's former pastor at St. Andrew church in her home city. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD (C.W.F.F.) (Elder B. M. Campbell, Pastor) On last Sunday the Lord presented us with a beautiful day, although we had some rain. The Sunday School at the Church of the Living God was just fine and a good lesson was recited by all. Elder Farr is one of the noble teachers. At 11 a. m., the rostrum was filled with Elder J. H. Wright and he spoke wonderful and he said many good things. Elder Wright has started a revival on Gennessee street, in Kansas City, Mo., about two blocks south of Southwest boulevard, across the railroad, tracks. The Bible Band was fine and interesting and a good lesson was recited by all that was present, as the president of the Bible Band was out of town, the assistant president presided in the chair. The night sermon was preached by Elder Farr and Elder Stuckey, Elder Farr being the first speaker and was followed by Elder Stuckey. Both did remarkably well. The collection for the church was very good, and the rally was very good. Come to this temple Sunday if you do you will hear something good for your soul. All are perfectly welcome to this church. Elder A. J. Moore and wife are now in Leavenworth, Kans., preaching the Gospel. He is expecting to build a temple there soon. Several members from Kansas City, Kans., left here last Sunday to assist him in his good works. The sick are doing nicely at present. Sunday school evry Sunday morning at 10 a.m. Preaching at 11 a.m. Bible Eard at 6 p.m. Night service at 8 p.m., and Wednesday night 8 p.m., prayer meeting. All are welcome to all these services. Come and let us reason together, said the Lord--Isiah 1-18. May the Lord help us all so we can be one in the Lord. 80 Peranda 135 Peranda Money in Your You Will Be Sure to Save If J. A.

Place of Busniess—1006-1008 North Third Street FAIRFAX 3577 KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FRIDAY, OCTOBZER 1, 1920 To whom this may concern: This is to certify that I, Rev. C. C. Callaway, take this opportunity of setting before the public one of the greatest Negroes of the Race in the person of Rev. C. F. Collins. An Astronomist, Clairvoyant, Spiritualist and powerful Gospel Preacher—a perfect Christian gentleman. His ability to forecast the weather, was not attained from the scientific study of books, but a natura, gift from God. This great man can tell you today what the weather will be tomorrow; this can be proven by putting him to the test, as is said in the Scripture, "If a man prophesies and his prophesies come true you may know he is a Prophet. The same thing holds true with this great Negro Prophet. I ask that you watch his weather predictions each week, as they appear in The Advocate; if they come true, you will know he is a Prophet. I am not speaking of what I have read or heard of this wonderful Negro, but from what I know to be facts. It is high time that the Negro race, not in part, but wholly, appreciate the ability and worth of our great men, especially when they are possessed with such natural gifts as this man. REV. C. C.
