Volume VII. THE SUPREME DEATH C K LINCOLN DAY CLUB BANQUET AT TO Large Number Participa gram—Hon. Dorsey Gr Stirring Annual Addr of Topeka, Gave Inc Great Em Topeka, Kan., Feb. 15 (Special to The Advocate) The Lincoln Day Club of Kansas held its annual meeting and banquet Saturday, February 12 in Metropolitan hall on Kansas avenue. Hon. Dorsey Green, an attorney of Kansas City and president, presided . Hon. James H. Guy an attorney of Topeka, was master of ceremonies; also being chairman of the executive committee. The first address was made by Dr. Edmund J. Kulp, pastor of First M. E. church of Topeka, which probably was one of the most complete and eloquent addresses on the life and history of the great emancipator that ever was given to a Kansas audience. The Reverend Mr. Kulp related incidents to the life and character of this martyred rail-splitter that the ordinary reader would slightly pass over as of small consequence, as to the making of a real man. Prof. J. P. King of Kansas City, was the next speaker, who in words of eloquence inspired the audience in racial development and loyalty to each other and that the race should ever revere and keep in themselves upon the altar in behalf of the race. A Mr. Pierce, who was here in the days of John Brown and was among those who took the stand and fought against the extending of slavery in Kansas, made a historical address of those days, that was new to many present, but was greatly appreciated by his hearers. Judge I. F. Bradley, Sr., of Kansas City, who is one of the founders of the Lincoln Day Club and an ex-president, in an address of his usual earnestness on occasions of this kind, brought to the vast crowd words of thought and solidity of pur- --- -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE- TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 ME ROYAL C CLAIM TO MR KANSAS CITY, KAN P 3 HOLDS ANNUAL TOKEPA FEBRUARY 12 cipates in Excellent Pro- Green, President, Makes address—Rev.

The final and closing was the annual address by the president Hon. Dorsey Green, an attorney of Kansas City. The speaker touched upon strongly, with emphasis, present conditions and gave a number of remedies if used with that sincerity of self consciousness would bring about better understanding among the two races. One was, which seemed to be the premier of all the others, were to organize in our cities an interracial society, so that the two races might come together at various periods, get acquainted and discuss problems of interest for the city and the people as a whole. The program, as a whole, was one of the best that has been given by this club for many years and probably the largest in attendance. At the close of the program, an elaborate menu was served by the committee to about two hundred and fifty. The officers elected were: James H. Guy, of Topeka, president; Elisha Scott, Topeka, vice-president; Thos. Kennedy, Kansas City, secretary; T. W. Troup, Topeka, treasurer, and J. P. King, Kansas City, chairman executive committee. Quite a number of out of town people were present to help make the occasion one for which it was held. Jackson's Twenty-third Regiment band of forty pieces rendered, as but few in the country can, fine music during the evening. Program Master of Ceremonies, Hon. J. H. Guy.

HALLOCK D, WITH SEVERA S. MIDNIGHT FINDS LOUI EXECUTIVE A MAN The Far-South State Now Schools for the Race Erected—The Farmer Southern University Held Annually Southern University, Baton Rouge, La.—"If you will just stop and think for a few minutes we will all agree that the world has not gone wrong after all, but there is still room for improvement, and we may yet get a good hold on life, and a good sight into the affairs of the world. Such is the case, and such is what I have in mind. I have been made to rejoice, and I am thinking much of things down in Louisiana. Of course there has been a lynching down here, and the first, I am told, in 18 months, and Governor John M. Parker has declared that there must not be any more, and there will not be any more if in his power to prevent it. Let us all rejoice that Louisiana has a real governor, and one that is the head of all the people, and believes that all of his subjects should be protected by law, and all must toe the mark, respect and obey the law, and then he is willing to see that they all get an opportunity to prepare to meet a busy world like this. I am sure you want to know what I am doing, and what I am talking about, and since you want to know it is my duty to let you know I am down here at a meeting of the farmers. It is such a meeting as they have in Tuskegee every year, but on a smaller scale. It is largely confined to the state, and not national in its scope, but believe me when I tell you it is farreaching. Southern University is the school supported by Louisiana for my people. It is one of the largest state schools in the country, and it will not be long before it will take the lead, for the state is putting money into it, and they have selected to lead it a man who is aggressive and progressive, and one of the leading educators in America. Prof. J. S. Clark, the president, is every inch a man, and he has called around him, some of the leading educators of the country. Dr Clark is a man who did not think that the world was standing still awaiting his arrival, hence he took his time to prepare before entering the active world. He got his home education and then he went to the north for the finishing touch, and all of this contact better prepared him, to work among his own people. He was at the head of a district school for a long time, and put it on the map. He made the world 中 Number 29. PAYS FIRST STREET L LUISIANA'S CHIEF N WITH A FAIR MIND Now Has Four Public High and More are to Be rs' Congress Held at Nearly Equals That at Tuskegee know that Baton Rouge college existed. In things which meant racial uplift he was found on the front line. and never lost an opportunity to do something for the advancement of his people. Southern University was located at New Orleans, and one day he found that it had been moved to a country site near Baton Rouge, but that was not all, it was also announced that the school had decided to place a man of the race as president and Dr Clark was selected as that man. For a long time the president was a white man. At once he got in touch with the Lord, and the Lord directed him to accept the offer, hence he went right in to the plan of new Southern University with a member of the race as president. He took hold and pushed things. Buildings were put up as rapidly as possible and the school was opened. Some of the best educators of the state were secured to take charge of the work, and believe me, honey they did take charge. The school has been on the go upward. Dr. Clark then thought that it would not be right for him to be selfish, but he should strive to help all of his people throughout the state. He then called a conference of farmers. But few of them attended the first meeting, but it kept on growing and growing, until you would have thought that you were attending a Tuskegee conference this week. They were here, both races, and I have heard some real good speeches from men of both of the races, and all of them were thoughtful and inspiring. I reached here Tuesday, and have taken time to study the work. I have been with some of the teachers. I was out of Park Sanitarium, Guthrie, Ok., hence it is not surprising that I should be placed in the hospita in this place, under an efficient trained nurse, Mrs. M. M. Baranco, who is just like a doctor when it comes to looking after sick people. She knows how to make a soldier out of you, and have you make a charge on the enemy. She took me in charge, and had me a private room in the hospital, with a special nurse: Mrs. Baranco, is from Columbus, Ohio, was trained to be a nurse at Hubbard hospital, Nashville, Tenn., (Continued on Fourth Page) \(^{*}\)注： PAGE TWO THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. The editor greatly appreciated the royal entertainment given him by Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. French, while attending Lincoln Day Club, February 12, at Topeka. They have a beautiful, well kept, modern home, 1312 Tyler street. Their neighbors are principally state officials and the governor, Senators Curtis and Canner, reside in the next block. Mr. French has long been a chef on the superintendent's car of the Santa Fe railroad. Mr. French owns a fine touring car, of which his splendid little wife is as safe at the wheel as her husband. They are both active in all civic affairs of the city, and are ever ready to render service to strangers and visitors. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD (C.W.F.F.) 337 Oakland Avenue On last Sunday morning Sunday school was fine. There were quite a few scholars and visitors present. The superintendent extended an invitation to all. The morning sermon was fine. It was preached by the cabinet of Kansas, Elder J. J. Palmer, of Topeka, Kans. He preached a wonderful sermon. The pastor preached a short sermon. Every thing was carried out lovely, and a very nice congregation was present. The women's meeting was at 4:30 p. m., and a pleasant time was had. The Bible Band convened at 6 o'clock. A nice lesson was recited. All are welcome to this Bible Band at any time. Sister Dessie Brant was the only one on program for last Sunday. She recited an excellent piece and it was enjoyed by many. A larger program will be next Sunday. The rostrum was filled at 8 p. m., by Elder McShan and the cabinet evangelist of Kansas. Elder McShan was the first speaker. Elder McShan did remarkably well in his short sermon and he said many good things. The cabinet, Elder Palmer, preached a wonderful sermon. He used for his text, 2nd Cor. 11-2. Subject, "I Am Jealous Over You." He preached a good, soul-stirring sermon. Many visitors were present. The Junior choir and the Senior choir meets every week and is doing very nicely practicing. Each president is interested and is trying to bring each member to the front. Come to the entertainment next Saturday night at Sister Love's residence. It is given in honor of the pastor. Come out to 337 Oakland avenue to service next Sunday. All are welcome.

The birds could be seen and heard warbling their cheerful little songs among the trees as though they knew the day and were giving God the praise for their existence, as multiplied hundreds wended their way to the house of worship. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, with a smile of peace, joy and a happy heart, greeted more than twelve hundred to the two auditoriums, at the opening of the service. Every face was lighted up and peace seemed to abide in every heart Darkness had no resting place in God's temple of sunshine Sunday morning. The sermon delivered by this evangelical ambassador was of wonderful spiritual and intellectual power. The entire congregation both saint and sinner, were moved through his wonderful words of argument. It was a glorious day in Zion, and a number came forward at the close of the sermon and connected themselves with this branch of God's church. The pastor filled his pulpit again at the evening service, when he preached equally as strong a sermon as at the morning service, when more came into the church of their choice. The Senior and Junior choirs rendered charming, soul-stirring Gospel music in each of the day's services, with Mrs. Ophelia Jackson at the organ, and directress of the Seniors, and Prof. Wise, organist director of the Juniors. The Sabbath school was nearly overflowing Sunday at 9:30 and the Allen League met at 6 p.m., with an unusual attendance of League workers. Miss Holmes, teacher at Western University, spoke earnestly and fervently before League. Rev. H. E. Stewart, pastor of Quinn Chapel, Chicago, was present Sunday evening, who was introduced to the audience and made some complimentary and encouraging remarks. The pastor stated he probably would leave Monday night, on his vacation for three or more weeks and asked his flock to be faithful and take care of God's church, and be dutiful to its interests, while absent and that their prayers may go with him and bring him back safely to them in due time. The officers of the two boards asked the church for one hundred dollars, for the pastor's vacation, and they put on the table $119 and a fraction. A congregation of members and friends who always believe in giving running over measure. Come out Sunday. You will not be disappointed in hearing a splendid sermon.

At 2 p. m. about 2,000 attended Sister Lizzie Sewall-Pryor's funeral. She having been a useful member, a Sunday school teacher and an ex-president of the Excelsior Club. At 8 p. m., Dr. Prince, of St. Joseph, preached a fine sermon on how careful Christians ought to live. It was well received. Pastor Holmes said it was a splendid sermon. Some united with the church and after two large collections, a collection was taken for Dr. Prince. The church is growing spiritually, financially and numerically. The B. Y. P U. and Sunday school are doing well. Mrs. Battles is elected president of the Mission Circle and great work is expected. Pastor Holmes says he has reappointed the same publicity committee and after hearing her poem at the funeral Sunday, still claims she cannot be beaten and can write on any subject. Mr. J. C. Branch is a new church clerk. Mr. T. H. Cooper is head usher, and Messrs. Taylor, Dow, Buckner and Smith are doing fine work as ushers. Mrs. H. Stewart is very sick at this writing. Mrs. Dinkins' father died and was buried Wednesday. We were glad to see Mr. J. T. Roberts at the funeral. There are still more candidates to be baptized. Good sermons will be preached next Sunday February 20. Be sure to come to this church and join if you wish. All are welcome.

Long was able to go out on his run this week- Watch the next magazine you receive through the mails and on the wrapper you will find the words: "Postmaster, Deliver to Subscribers on February —," giving exact date. A small newspaper's request of the kind would be ignored. Yet, every day, the small newspaper gets "dope" from the civil service commission and other departments of the government with the request that it be run as "news," when it doesn't amount to a hill of beans. The various departments of the government are the worst panhandlers of space in small newspapers in the world.—Labor Bulletin. A number of legitimate business men are protesting against a picture show firm securing a lease on three buildings near Sixth street and Minnesota avenue for a new play house. The business men contend the picture show should have secured a business location on a side street and allowed business men to continue on Minnesota avenue As it is, three business firms will have to seek new quarters, and the business district on the avenue already is congested.—Labor Bulletin. The packers have expressed themselves as being anxious to put their employees back on the 10-hour day. Of course that would throw several thousand more out of employment and they would swell the crowds at the gates each morning who are looking for work. Is that humanitarianism? Yes, the packers' kind, Labor Bulletin, ST. PAUL A.M.E: CHURCH J. A. Broadnax, Pastor Revival closed last Sunday night, with 12 converts, and a joiner. It was a spiritual and intellectual uplift to all. The collection for the day was $150.

Slaughter's Place, 1415 North 9th St., Kankansas City, Kansas. New Orleans, Charles Stewart, and I even heard myself make a few remarks, but the crowning point was not reached until Friday, when I heard Governor John M. Parker, of New Orleans, who is a real man, and a man who believes in law and order. He believes that all citizens should be punished, if they break the law, and that the law should do the punishing and not a lawless mob. He is a man who speaks right out in church and is not afraid to speak out, for he is not a politician who depends on his election to office for support. He is a man of wealth, of education, of influence, and when he was nominated all kind of charges were made against him and all kind of prejudice appealed to, but none of these things moved the people of Louisiana, for they saw in him a real man, and a man who was destined to serve the people. He took hold of his office in the name of God, and he was placed the right man in office. There was a lynching while he was away from his office, and I am told that he spoke right out when he heard about it, and sent for the sheriff, and said some things to him. He went to the special grand jury, and heard what was going on, and he is determined to see to it, if possible, that the men who took part in that lynching are punished, and if they are that will have much to do with stopping it in the future. When men can with impunity take the life of another man because he happened to be born on the dark side of the moon, you need not expect law, He believes that the state pought to furnish education for all of its subjects, and just now they are going to erect a school for the blind to cost $80,000 and will be supported by the state. PAGE FOUR MINIGHT FINDS LOUISIANA GOVERNOR A FAIR MAN which is a part of Meharry Medical college. Now I made a few charges, went to call on Dr. W. D. Thomas and his wife, Mrs. Edwina Kennedy-Thomas, from old Kentucky, and a graduate from the State University. It was a pleasure to see her and to talk with her. She had many nice things to say, and Dr. Thomas had charge of the department of science. I found so much in these things. I am going to make a special talk about the school in another letter when I come back this way, hence will not say much about them now. Let me tell you just a little something about the meeting which took place here. The first speaker from the other side of the house I heard was Dr. W. R. Perkins, of the University of Louisiana, and he made one more good speech. It was worth a place in anybody's literature. He is a refined gentleman, and speaks right from the heart. He was followed by Superintendent T. H. Harris, who is doing much to make school conditions better for our people, and believe me they are getting a few high schools in the state. There is one now in Shreveport, one in Baton Rouge and one in New Orleans, and others will follow. They have increased the pay for teachers and are selecting the best available teachers in all the schools, even in the country. He said some real good things and was followed by Prof. Williams, Leo M. Farvot, who has charge of the rural schools for my people. I heard Rev. Simons, Rev. H. H. Dunn, of DON'T FAIL TO SEE THE TICKET DRAWN, AND ATTEND THIS GRAND ENTERTAINMENT. ADMISSION, 25 CENTS All sums derived from sale of tickets will go to the erection of the YORK RITE MASONIC TEMPLE. CHANCES ARE $1.00 EACH The fifth number drawn will get the Car. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE and the legislature upon the recommendation of Governor Parker appropriated $267,000 to Southern University, and they are not going to stop there. God grant that we may yet have more men on this order. In his address he appealed to the colored people to help him in his stand against crime and criminality. To help to run down the lawless element, to get rid of the gamblers, of the crime breeders, and push forward good citizens. It was a great speech and I must here say that Louisiana has a real man as governor, and the whole world is going to see greater things from Louisiana in the future. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

Neighbors Resolutions for Mrs. Lizzie Sewall-Pryor (composed by Mrs. M. C. Matthews.) Selected to be printed by request of her mother and others: Whereas, our omnipotent Father of the Universe has summoned our dear neighbor, Mrs. Elizabeth Sewall-Pryor from this earth, and Whereas, we humbly submit to His will. Resolved, that we the Neighbors' Club No. 1, of Kansas City, Kansas, greatly regret her departure. Being intimate acquaintances, we know of her affection from childhood and kindly disposition toward all, and we will miss her very much Resolved, that we condole with her mother, Mrs. Jennie Palmer, and her husband, Mr. Wm. Pryor, in this, their very sad hour We sympathize very deeply with her mother, as she and her daughter were more like sisters and seemed inseperable. We commend them and all the other relatives to God, who will help them bear their grief if they will only trust Him. We will miss the kindly smile of Mrs. Pryor, who was born in this metropolis, and esteemed by many friends, which is shown by the many floral offerings brought here today in her memory. Therefore we entreat all to meet dear Mrs. Sewall-Pryor in that land, where flowers never fade and we will live for every and part no more I condole with her relatives so much I could not refrain from writing a poetical epitaph for her: In Memoriam Dear Lizzie we have met today And our sad hearts to Christ we bow, As we due homage to pay To all that's mortal of you now We know our bodies all must die To gain Eternal Life's great boon, But we admit it with a sigh We did not think you'd go so soon. And while so sick and feverish You'd say so patient and sublime. "Poor, dear sweet mamma, how I wish We both could go at the same time." But God knew that your life was spent And Jesus, also, thought it best; So He a cherub-angel sent To take you out of pain to rest. And when the chariot came for you Your soul grew joyful at the sight And you cried out with joy, 'tis true, "Praise God the way's so very bright." Now sinners, here's a Christian gone To be buried beneath the sod, To teach you your time, soon will come So you prepare to meet your God. We know her mother follows Christ And will trust God in peace and pain, But husband has not sacrificed The world, to meet his wife again, Will you not confess Christ today? Your dear wife beckons now to you. She says, "Dear husband, don't delay, Tomorrow, death may claim you too." So Christians let's live close and true And backsliders come back again, And hypocrites, don't hide from view But let God's light shine bright and plain. Then on that great and final day Dear Lizzie will not be alone But with all saints in white array Will meet us all around God's throne. (Copyright, Feb. 1921, by Mrs. M. C. Matthews.) S.
