KANSAS MIDNIGHT MEETS SOME EXCELLENT MEN AND WOMEN IN OKLAHOMA Finds a Young Race Man Who is Making a Start in the Railroad Game—Traveling Correspondent Slowly Recovering Health Volume VII. Shreveport, La.—I feel that you will rejoice to know that Dr. L. W. Conrad and Dr. Borders have gotten me to the place where I can say that I am on the mountain top, and hope to continue to improve. I rejoice that God has blessed us with good physicians who can locate body trouble and put a stop to it in short order. I thank God that He has given this race of ours some real good friends, and some who are welling to almost die for us if need be. Men as stand for right, justice and equality before the law. In this number is to be found Dr. Robert T. Kerlin, head of the department of English, in the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va. He is the author of "Voice of the Negro," a book that is destined to do much for us, and one which tells our story as voiced by the Negro press from time to time. Dr. Jerlin is one of the finest men I have ever met, and I not only class him as a friend to humanity, but I look upon him as my personal friend, and that is saying a good deal. I find that we have men of the other race who can be considered friends. I have talked about him before this and will do so again. But I feel to express thanks to the many people who sent me words of cheer and good will while I was in the Park Sanitarium contending with the germs, and Dr. Conrad won the fight, and now I am about again, but may go back soon. I am now getting together money enough to go into the Sanitarium in Battle Creek Mich. Pray for me that I may succeed. I did not realize that I had so many friends until I got into this, and then they came many and all were anxious to do something for me. It inspires me to write and say stronger things for my people, for in this I have discovered that they appreciate it. Doctors ready to serve me free of charge, people ready to furnish me with medicine, and nurses ready to come to me, for Miss Annia Maie Matthes, of Texarkana, was getting ready to make te trip to Guthrie to look after me if I had needed her. She is a fine young woman. The Lord is not ready for me just now, and I believe He has answered the prayers of the people. Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart, of Chicago, said that she had her suit case packed and would have been in Guthrie, and she not heard from the doctor and Mr. Malone says he would have been there too, and there are others. God bless them all and I want to extend to them all my thanks. I have not been going so fast since I left there, but taking it slow. Yet I have been moving some. As soon as Dr. Conrad discharged me, I made it to Oklahoma and found some people there anxious about me. Dr. A. F. Johnson had them to meet at the church and extend me a welcome. I had the pleasure of touching Dr. E. W. Perry, president of the State Convention of Oklahoma, and he also was glad to see me out. After I had been greeted by my Oklahoma City friends, the next day found me on my way to McAlester, Okla., where I was greeted by Rev. and Mrs. Frank Motley. Mrs. Motley knew me when she lived in Clarksville, Texas. They have a large business in the city, and are kept busy all the time. Mrs. Motley is bookkeeper and manager, while her husband is all the business end. They press, clean, repair and will even die for you. They have a wonderful plant., but nothing to what it is going to be when the building is completed within a few days from now. it is gratifying to see how we are making it in a world like this. I had the pleasure of going to the state reformatory. I will have to talk about it in another letter. I was much pleased with my visit to McAlester, so soon after leaving the sanitarium, and I remained over night, and was toed around in Mr. Motley's automobile. He was glad to see me, and I was glad to see him, and we were glad to meet each other. Met Rev. Jackson, of the public school, and the principal, and then toed myself to the automobile carriage car, and left for Muskogee, SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 Okla., 'the big city and place where my people are doing things which will spell something and which will mean something in realm of success. I am not going to mention them now, but will reserve the right to do so another time if I feel like it. Rev. Dr. J. T. Johnson greeted me, and invited me to his home, while Rev. W. E. Stewart greeted me and told me if I got a good place to stop he would be glad to have me worship with him on Sunday. I thanked him and went home with Rev. J. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist church, and a native of Georgia, where he made good before reaching Muskogee. He is not a failure, but a success. I spent Sunday and Monday in Muskogee, and Monday I, went to call on some other men. I had the pleasure of meeting the chief clerk to the vice-president of Midland Valley Railroad, who had a man of my race employed in the office and had given a place to his son, as mail clerk, and this in Oklahoma! Little by little we are making it. If this young man makes good, sticks to business and not good times, he will make a place for another and still another. Efficiency is the thing needed today and it has nothing to do with race or color. Deliver the goods and you will find the place for delivery. I made a trip to Tulsa, coming in contact with one of the great educators of the age, Prof. J. W. Hughes, who is supervisor of our schools and a man of parts. Prof. Hughes took time when he was a young man and got two things, good education and good common sense, and when these two things get in a man, here you have a leader of men, and a safe one at that. He is not a man who makes much fuss—in fact he is as noiseless as the sun, but each day and each hour in the day, he is adding blessings to humanity. He has by his side a great wife. She is as great as her husband, and is doing her work in the school room. I visited the high school under Prof. Wood, found Mrs. Carrie Booker-Person in charge of the music. She is the daughter of Dr. Joseph A. Booker of Little Rock. She knows music from A to Z and in my opinion one of the best in the race. She writes music, and some of her work is on the market right now. I want to congratulate the people on having her in charge of the music. I looked around, talked with Prof. Hughes, talked to the young people there, and had the pleasure of going to the palatial home of Prof. Hughes. He has one of the finest in the city, and they are as happy as happy can be. Thus ended my stay in town. Back to Muskogee, then to Fort Smith, Ark., and from there to Texarkana, then to this place, where I am spending Sunday, and will go down to Baton Rouge, to Southern University and will talk about it in my next letter. In this city I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Katie Miller, the wife of Irvin C. Miller, who is on the road with a good show. His wife is the only daughter of Henry Allen Boyd. Katie is not rendering any part in the show except looking after the interest of her husband. She says she is real happy and enjoys her married life. She went to Japan with her father last fall, and I am told that he wept like a baby when he learned of the marriage of her daughter.. Well, I suppose she married the man of her choice, and he happened not to be a Sunday school man. Pray for me still. Get ready to attend the National Baptist Sunday School Congress in Kansas City next June and the Supreme Lodge of Knights-of Pythias in Kansas' head city, Topeka, in August. The Business League in Atlanta and other big meetings to follow and before. The circulation manager of The Advocate was up to Leavenworth last week on business, and while there he took several orders for raincoats Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, February 11, 1921 HOME RACE MAN SCORES VICTORY WITH LITERARY PRODUCTION The Negro race scores another important victory, and in an unusual field, in the acceptance, purchase and publication by the Kansas City tSar, of the poetic production from the pen of Dr. R. A. Adams, one of our own citizens. This poem, published in the issue of Sunday, February 6, is entitled "The Great Adventure and was inspired by the article by that title written by the late Theodore Roosevelt. Dr. Adams is one of the most widely known men in public life today. He has spent more than thirty years as a leader and teacher, among our people. During the last twelve years he has traveled in the evangelistic field, preaching and giving information on such subjects as Higher Eugenics, Sex Hygiene, Prophylactics and Social Economics. He is author of more than half a dozen books, has been editor of weekly and monthly journals, a contributor to a number of high-class publications, and as president of the Literary-Commercial Bureau, he has demonstrated his ability as a writer and a literary critic. This poem amplifies Roosevelt's forceful declaration that "Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure" and the writer introduces love in the connection, making her to bind life and death together, with "her golden fetters." We can give only a few of the most brilliant passages. "Let now be heard the sage, who wisdom hath, If he, indeed, can see life's winding path, Measure its heights and depths, and comprehend Its hidden purposes—if he can rend The veil in twain, expose to human view, The mysteries of life—the old and new. Let him reveal what mankind shall befall, Save that must come the "one event to all"— That every man the simple and the wise, Is born, and lives, and being mortal dies." Another beautiful passage reads: "Life is a 'Great Adventure,' when unfold The gates of life, as since the ages old That to a new immortal may be given To dwell on earth, at the behest of Heaven." Under Love, we read: "Joy radiant glitters in the mother's eyes, When in her arms and on her bosom, lies A child that shall a dual image bear; For life and love, she faltered not to dare The 'Great Adventure,' that she might behold The gates of life so silently unfold, Rckoning gain to bear the name of wife And mother, though the cost be "life-for life." Picturing death as the gate to life, the poet eloquently declares: "Death is a 'Great Adventure,' and there waits Within the shadows of its pond-rous gates, The silent sentinel of death's domain, To open them again, and yet again, To lofty souls who, done with mortal strife, Pass through the gates of death to enter life." "All who are true to duty love and life, Who falter not, however fierce the strife, Ready to live and serve or serving die. Are but 'torch-bearers' ever 'lifting high' Their torches as they run, that men may trace The path of duty, while they run the race Of life; then, falling, pass them burning still, To faithful runners who will bear them, till They fall. These are the spirits, noble, high, Who, loving life, yet did not fear to die, For life and love, and death they were prepared, And fearlessly the 'Great Adventure' Dared."

It's a dollar-growing in the Garden of Opportunity. Of all investment opportunities offered these days there are few that are not open to criticism. Absolute safety and sufficient and uniform profits are equally important. Aside from government bonds, the returns from which are small, there is no investment so certain and so sure as undeveloped real estate in a growing community.

E. A. SHACKELFORD attorney for Plaintiff. (First published Feb. 4, 1921) METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The day began bright and fair, and people flocked to the Temple to worship the Lord. At 11 a. m., after a beautiful discourse, Pastor Holmes administered sacrament. So many are members now they will have to get more silver cups to supply all. He sang one of Dr. Perry's favorite songs, but some of the most beautiful was "Dark Was the Night," "Neaver My God to Thee," "Remember Me," etc. A large church collection was taken, then an after collection for Trustee J. T. Roberts, who is sick. At 8 p. m., Rev. M. C. Lewis preached and a collection was given him. When the invitation was extended, some united with the church. Another beautiful spectacle was the baptism of some more candidates. Pretty soon all the Baptist churches will go into revival again. This church looks forward to the coming of Rev. Harper of Dallas, Texas, whom Pastor Holmes says "Is a greater preacher than our beloved L. K. Williams." $S_0$ everybody ought to hear im, because the writer thinks Rev. Williams and Rev. Perry can set this town on fire with the Gospel. So if Dr. Harper is greater than these he will take Greater Kansas City for Christ. Come to this church and make yourself at home. Both saints and sinners, come. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH A great revival is on at St. Paul A. M. E. church. The Rev. Nathaniel Hawthorne Jeltz, the Dakota evangelist, is a wonder in the pulpit. Three have been converted and joined our Zion and sixty-odd men heard him lecture Sunday at 3:30 p. m. on the Dynamic of Manhood. Nxt Sunday at 3:30 p. m. he will lecture to women only, his subject being, The Good Woman. The church is packed at every service. Collection for the day, $64.00. The evangelist has, during the last 18 months, held more than fifty revivals in such historic churches as Queen Chapel, Bethel and Institutional churches in Chicago, and other leading churches throughout the states of South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, and the state of Missouri. He has added more than 3,000 persons to the A. M. E. church in 18 months. Come to St. Paul next Sunday, the Rev. Dr. A. C. Terpell will be with us on his second round. The meeting will close Sunday, night. J. A. BROADNAX, Pastor. Mr. Will Fisher, 611 State avenue, is still very sick. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, 2nd Div.

A real estate agent can tack a board to an old house and charge a few hundred dollars to "upkeep." A property owner can build a new home and still have to pay taxes on the money spent. It is a good deal like Brann's motto: "God help the rich, the poor can beg." Money was loaned at 12% Friday last in New York, which is said to be the highest price ever paid for money. This may be true in New York, but a citizen tells us that the other day a banker told him he would not loan him any money unless he put up $20 gold pieces for it. JUST KIDS—Mindin' The Baby!

URGE FREIGHT RATE CUT Philadelphia, Feb. 5.—The Pennsylvania Lumberman's association is howling about high freight rates. They want 'em reduced. Last spring these business men were as loud in their demand that the railroads be returned to their owners instanter. They would not wait for governmental control to be tried under normal conditions, but insisted that the Cummins-Esch railroad bill be passed. This was done, the roads guaranteed 6% interest, rates were advanced to make that guarantee possible, and now the lumbermen object. In a speech to the lumbermen on costs one of these business men made the interesting statement that the majority of the lumbermen in this state do not know the rate of profit they are making. "In some instances," he said, "they really believed that they were making 30% profit and after a look at their books I found they were making only 10%." Forrest B.

I had worked until noon and was just leaving off for luncheon when a native mate of one of the whale-boats used in lightering the coffee handed me at note. It was from Elsie and read: "Will you please come ashore and release the papers you placed with the British consulate? They will not give them to anyone but you, as you hold their receipt. "ELSIE ROUNTREE." I dressed and hurried ashore. At the consulate I met the two Misses Rountree and Archibald. I asked about Fred and Turner. "We left them at the Indian village," Archibald explained. "Fred, I think, has symptoms of blood poisoning from his wound and we could not bring him here. Turner stayed with him. We were to send a physician out there, but there is none here." "Wait here just a minute," I said, and went out to where I could see the little revenue cutter. I was signaling it to send a boat ashore when Thorp touched me on the shoulder. I told him where he could find his man. "I've already sent a physician and officer combined out there, with two men, in case they resist. Thanks, captain, for your assistance." When I returned to the consulate I found the three in consultation. "We have arranged everything now, Captain Marchbanks," the elder Miss Rountree said, "except your reward. Had it not been for you and the steps you took to find the treasure, I may say, we would have returned home to find ourselves peniless. We are going to keep the old Cleo. We would like to have you stay with it and manage it as your own. What capital you need will be placed to your credit, and you can turn us over what profits you wish." "Why not give Mr. Crawford that chance?" I asked. "As I understand it, he will soon become one of the family, and his injury, while it will prevent him from holding a mate's berth, would not keep him from being master." "Besides," I added, "I'm going out to Manila. Got a friend out there who owns several Island traders and I think I'd like the south seas." It was the elder Miss Crawford who replied: "I know," I said, "but I can't alter mine." Elsie had been standing by the window, overlooking the sea. She opened it and left the room, while Miss Rountree remained. "Mr. Crawford," she began, "is, by virtue of his injury, a young man suddenly made old. I am an old woman. I have never had a child. I like the young man, and now that I will be independent, financially, I'm going to do what I have wanted to do for years. I am going to adopt him and he will be my boy. And he wants to live a quiet life. I think some day he may make a great attorney and I'm going to give him the chance. The town we live in is the seat of the state university. He can attend classes there and be at home." "Marry Elsie?" A look of amoze-ment swept over the face of the old lady. "Marry Elsie!" She burst into a fit of laughter. "So that's why, Mister Captain, you've discovered a friend in Manila and you're goin there. Oh, it's too good to keep!"4 She went to the window and called: "Elsie! Elsie!" The girl came in through the window, as she had left. I thought I saw traces of tears on her face. "Here, Elsie," the elder Miss Rountree said, pushing her niece toward me. "I'm going out to tell the British consul we're through and thankful for the use of his office. When I return I want you to inform me that you've secured Captain Marchbanks' services for the longest time imaginable." And the old lady had barely closed the door before I took the girl in my arms. Three days' later we finished loading. I had the ship's papers in my hand and was walking down to the beach to be rowed out to the Cleo, when I met Thorp. "I want to congratulate you, Captain Marchbanks," he said, shaking my hand. What has Crawford been telling you? I countered. I did not wish the news of our engagement to be come public property up and down FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1921 the hot coast.
