Citizens Civic League Will Hold Its Regular Monthly Meeting Wednesday Evening March 23, at 1512 Notrh Fifth Street. J. F. Griffin, President KANSAS CITY ONCE A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT— NEARLY MURDERED BY FLORIDA THUGS Volume VII. Live Ork, Florida.—Hell is going to be full of some of these people down here in Florida, and I will feel sorry for them, but there will be no use in any of them asking me to furnish them with water for I am not going to do it. They had better try to get things straight with God right now. Some of them tried to convince Hon. George E. Taylor that he had been on earth long enough and told him God was ready for him, but Mr. Taylor was not ready for the question. I am sure you will remember Hon. George E. Taylor from Iowa, for he it was who made the race for President of the United States a long time ago, and got left, of course, but he is on record as having made the run, and that made him an important man. He was a man of some parts and good in his line. A few years ago he came to Florida and has made good here. He has been of great service to his people. Several years ago he purchased him a farm not far from Jacksonville, and has been producing pigeons and chickens, and corn—in fact all that goes to make up a farm has claimed his attention. He has looked after the interest of his people until the other day, just before the election, some of them tried to get him out of the way and filled him full of buckshot while he was sitting at home with his family at night. He fell for dead, and they thought he was dead, and left him, but there was no room for him in heaven at this time, and he had to remain down here a little while longer. He is getting along nicely, but some of his friends think that he ought to leave the state, but I have not talked with him to find out what he thinks about it. I have been mingling with educated people since I wrote to you the last time and I am still in that kind of company this week, and will be in it for a few more weeks to come, and you will just have to pray for me that I may hold on to the end. I may not be able to do all I would like to do, but I will do as much as I can and trust God for the rest. If you will recall when I wrote the other letter I was in Tallahassee, mingling with President N. B. Young, of the A. & M. college, and just look where I am today and in whose company I am and what I am doing to help up the cause of Christ. 'I want to congratulate President Young, because he is indeed attentive to his mother, who has a house just a short distance from the school.' Before leaving for a trip he went down and had a talk with her and kissed her goodbye. This was indeed fine and I could not help from shedding a few tears. It is a great thing to have your mother with you. My mother did not get to know me much, nor did I realize the value she was to me until she had left me. I want to to here make an apology for a mistake made in a letter. I don't know how it happened, but I was writing about my visit to the home of Miss Daisy E. Conrad, of Guthrie, and it was made to read Miss Daisy E. Jackson. I know a Miss Jackson, who is a stenographer and whose home is in Mobile, Ala., but she is not a teacher and does not live in Guthrie, hence she did not fix a dinner for me. All concerned will please pardon my mistake. It was the wife of Sergeant B. Green, of 324 East Grant street, who prepared that fine lunch --- SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 Evic League Will March 23, at 1512 FOR PRESIDENT— LED BY FLORIDA THUGS is in the Southland That under the Collar—Finds ble There, However me, and I thank her even now, and regret the mistake. Now I have beat it some and the more I get around in Florida the more I have to think of what has happened, and how the people tried to put us out of business, how they tried to take from us the rights which are given to every American citizen with which to protect their races, the franchise. I want to vote, and I am going to vote. Is my country going to stand for an open violation of the Federal constitution? Are we going to say to the world that to us law is a dead letter? Must we tell all the world that we cannot enforce the law, that mob violence is supreme? Forbid God is my prayer to thee. I believe we are going to have a hearing today, but we must help to bring it about. We must not sit down and depend on any man or combination of men, or any class of men to do for us what we must do ourselves, for this will not work. If you would be free you yourself must strike the blow, and strike it hard. We must not sit around and talk about what we are going to be, but be that something, is the thing to do. From Tallahassee I beat it to the city of Jacksonville, going first to the home of the Rev. Dr. Carter, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church, and a preacher of the first rank, and who will some day be one of the bishops in the A. M. E. connection. He toted me out to Cookman, and from there I joined the Rev. Dr. John E Ford, a friend of mine, and pastor of the Bethel Baptist Institutional church, and a fine preacher. I had lucnh with him, met his wife, and spent the night at his home. They are a happy pair, believe me, honey, and John Ford is a working preacher. He is a man with books and he uses them also. I met many of the preachers, and then had the pleasure of taking a birthday dinner with Mrs. W. W. Andrews, the wife of the Grand Chancellor of Pythians for Florida. She is a refined, cultured woman and has been in public service for a long time. She took time to celebrate her get born day, but just how many years' ago, I am not prepared to tell, but it was just a little longer than yesterday, so to speak. Mrs. Andrews was at one time a teacher, but she has been doing clerical work for her husband, and in this connection she is a good clerk as well as a good housewife. I am real proud of her and hope she may celebrate many other birthdays for she is yet a young woman. Back to this place, where I am attending a Founders' Day exercises of the Florida Memorial college, Prof. C. A. Curtright, president, and a man of much learning and worth. He has been here for a long time and is doing some work that will count. Right by his side is his refined, cultured wife. May both of them live long to do the good that they are doing and to keep things in order. I was delighted to see them. They had some meeting here Rev. H. K. Hill made a speech; Rev. Long, of St. Petersburg; Rev. Fishburn, of Jacksonville, and others spoke. I was one of the speakers, and while I did not so well, I was there just the same and had my say before I took my seat. They applauded me from force of habit. Are you getting ready to attend the National Baptist, B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress in Kansas City next Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, March 18, 1921 WHATEVER THE OCCASION MAY BE SAY IT WITH FLOWERS FROM MOSELEY, THE FLORIST 712 Minnesota Avenue Opposite Federal Bldg. Kansas City, Kansas TWO PROGRESSIVE YOUNG MEN ATTENDING SCHOOL OF EMBALMING Mr. J. Wesley Price of Gibson City, Illinois, and Mr. J. R. Johnston of Wichita, Kansas, are attending Williams School of Embalming, located on Minnesota avenue.

BISHOP WARNS NEGROES Immigration to Liberia Is Given Setback by Chrysbeh Setback by Churchman Immigration to Liberia should not be encouraged unless the people have some money and know the agents who are stirring up the excitement. My advice is to have someone of the party write President King, Monrovia, Liberia, and ask definite information as to opportunities for making a living. Land is very cheap, the ground is fertile, but in going from America, one might find many handicaps. The foregoing is the sense of a message written by Joseph C. Hartzell, Blue Ash, Ohio, bishop for Africa of the Methodist Episcopal church, to his sister, Mrs. Sena Hartzell Wallace, of Kansas City. Bishop Hartzel for twenty-five years secretary of the Freedman Aid society in New Orleans spent twenty years in Africa assisting the people and studying conditions. "As a rule, there is no country in the world which compares with the United States, where the Negroes have so good a chance to make their living, get their own homes and educate their children," he concluded. Here it is—you've been waiting for it—a real play by a real cast "Pygamilion and Galatea," a Grecian mythological drama. Thursday evening, March 24, 8 p. m., under direction of Prof. Caswell W. Crews. June? I hope you will be there, for I have made up my mind that I was going to attend these functions, and see what I can see and how I can see it. I have not heard from Dr. Jernagin as to the date of the National Race Congress. It must be an important session and I am told that it is going to meet in May. We must get Mr. Harding told about the conditions in certain sections of our common country. I am still looking forward to attending the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. It is a great thing to be able to get to these meetings. I am told that Kansas City, Kansas, where the Grand Chancellor and the Grand Worthy Counsellor live, is getting ready to put the big pot in the little one. Topeka is ready now, and all the visitors will be cared for. I will keep you posted from time to time. J. O. MIDNIGHT. ADVOCATE AN OLD AND PROMINENT CITIZEN DIES AT THE AGE OF 4 SCORE AND SIX Isaac Reed, living at 813 Oakland avenue, aged 86 years, died Friday, March 11, at his late residence.

COLORED NIGHT SCHOOLS PRESENT EXERCISES WITH RECORD CROWD PRESENT Ninth Street High School Building Had to Be Closed to Prevent Overflowing-Indications for 1,000 Pupils for the Year 1921 THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Meeting Wednesday Griffin, President COLORED NIGHT SCHO ERCISES WITH RECO Ninth Street High School Closed to Prevent Over for 1,000 Pupils 1 The largest audience that has assembled among our people year 'attended Sumner night school closing exercises Thursday night at the Ninth Street High school. More than 2,500 people came and the doors had to be locked to keep hundreds of others from entering. Sumner and its auxiliaries, Stowe, Bruce and Lincoln, gave a very fine and interesting program. Sumner displayed fine classwork, typewriting, cooking, sewing, Spanish, tailoring, wood work and auto-mechanics. It's chorus of 50 voices was applauded on its classic and folk songs. Mrs. Black, in a Japanese solo, Mr. Jackson's tenor solo, and the ladies' quartet were enced; and the male quartet received a double encore. Bruce, one of the youngest schools, with Miss Mae McClelland as principal, made a decided hit with its poem, composed by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, and recited well by one of the Bruce pupils. Bruce's songchallenge to Sumner was also ALLEN ENDEAVOR LEAGUE KANSAS CONFERENCE. My-Dear Brother: This comes to say that I was recently appointed by Bishop Parks, superintendent of the Allen Endeavor League of the Kansas Conference. Accompanying that appointment was the earnest request from him that a membership drive for five thousand members be put on. This met my most hearty endorsement, for how are we to perpetuate the church without securing the services of the young people and at the same time train them for church work? Now this all can and must be done. It is a part of our goodly heritage to do it. Many things have arisen to draw the young people from the church. Our combined efforts must be put forth to draw them to it again and then hold them. There lies the secret of our success. I am calling upon you, therefore, to co-operate most heartily in this campaign. I wish you, through your young people, would begin an active organized effort at once to help consummate this very necessary and easy to accomplish wish of the bishop. Remember that it is by surveying, planning, systematizing and organizing your forces that you will be able to do concrete work and bring things to pass worth while. Perhaps fewer than half of our young people do real constructive church work. This reflects very unfavorably upon us. This great waste of their energy through inactivity is a monstrous sin. Make these young people see and know that they have a part in the church phase of life, and then ask that they assume that responsibility. Let every church and league put on a thirty or sixty-day membership campaign. Appoint captains and let there be friendly rivalry as to which shall bring in the largest number of members. Preach a sermon on some great things young people have done, both in church and state. Close your campaign with a big program composed of religious, musical, social and literary features. Have some noted person to speak. Get your forces all ready for the great state convention in June or July. Dr. Morris, the secretary, has promised to be with us. That, together with our own Bishop Parks and other notable platform, speakers assure us of a most important and far reaching state convention. --- Day Evening ent OOLS PRESENT EX- ORD CROWD PRESENT Pool Building Had to Be overflowing—Indications for the Year 1921 encored. Stowe school, with Miss T. Smothers, as principal, made a fine showing in its sewing and singing. Lincoln school, at Argentine, with Prof. R. Brown, principal, did well in singing and speaking and were especially vociferous with their many yells. Mr. Grant Landrey spoke well and Superintendent M. E. Pearson, in his address to the class, said all present enjoyed the program. He also gave certificates of four years' attendance to eleven. Prof. T. H. Reynolds trained all the music. Prof. G. A. Curry, principal of Sumner night school, called on Supervisor J. P. King for remarks, and the Sumner students greeted him with a yell, hailing him king of all four night schools. He thanked the superintendent, the board of education, the teachers, patrons and all for their assistance, and hoped the night schools will increase from 800 students this year, to 1,000 in 1922. If I can serve you write or telegraph me at once so may fix dates. Yours to foster the great cause of our young people in church work, EDW. R. VAUGHAN, R.F.D. No. 3, Kansas City, Kau.

Prof. Wise's Sunday school orchestra of eight pieces is one of the great inspirations of both young and old. It being quarterly meeting day, Presiding Elder A. C. Terrell delivered the message at the 11 o'clock service. The sermon was one of great spiritual power and his vast audience was simply electrified. Dr. Terrell is a great preacher and is a master as a supervisor. The Cummunion service was preached at 3 p. m., by that little pulpit giant, Rev. W. T. Osborne, pastor of Ebenezer of the Missouri side. He gave his audience strong meat, and many souls were made to rejoice. Rev. Terrell delivered, at the close of the day's service, at 7:30 p. m., his second strong appeal for Christian living.

The program was furnished by, Prof. Wise and his concert company, which was made up with choral numbers, quartetts, duets, solos piano selections and his Sunday school orchestra. Prof. Wise has developed some excellent talent and with his wife, leading soprano, has one of the best musical bodies in the West. Quarterly conference was held Monday night. Reports from every department showed wonderful progress in church activity. The presiding elder and the pastor were greatly elated with the reports. Presiding Elder J. A. Payne of the Omaha district, was a visitor and made remarks. Dr. Payne formerly was over this district and First Church is always glad to see him. Rev. Griffin stated how much he appreciated and thanked the officers, members and friends for their loyalty and Christian work, that was kept up while on his three weeks' vacation.

Oh, Boy. won't that be great? I sure want to see that show." This chatter was overheard while two boys were looking at th ebill stickers putting up bills for Herbert's Greater Minstrels that will come to Kansas City, Mo., next week. What memories that conversation brought back. We were all boys and girls once and have not forgotten the first minstrel show or parade we ever saw, and still remember what a thrill it was, and how at the show we enjoyed the jokes of the end men, the singing, the dancing, the beautiful costumes, the novelty acts and with what precision it all went and the pep that was put into the performance. It all came back as a picture of youthful pleasure, and it is the same today only grander and better, you will agree that there is nothing that will give as much relaxation, recreation and amusement as a good, clean minstrel show.

Pyne, presiding elder of the Omaha district, ran in home for a few days this week and attended the Knife and Fork banquet at First A. M. E. church. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Some officers and members asked the one who has been writing for this church for six years, why their notes were not in for three weeks. She has been so busy with other engagements she could not attend. Being absent from Sunday morning service, she writes from hearsay. Dr. Holmes advertised the Odd Fellows choir to be there, and said "the church would be crowded all over." A large crowd filled the lower auditorium only. All of the invited choir did not come, so it did not sing. He preached and some say he said: "He has not accepted Vine Street church but is considering it." The officers of Metropolitan are said to be considering, too. At night the writer attended at request of some to write up a wedding. It occurred at the close of the B. Y. P. U., and the bridegroom and wed Mrs. Thompson as B. Y. P. U. spirit, and bride, Mrs. Grigsby as Faith, and Mrs. Dow, as Unselfishness, and two flower girls were attendants, and Mr. Jos. Willis acted minister. All were arrayed in wedding attire and presented a beautiful appearance, while marching in and out to the strains of Lehengrin, played by Mrs. Allsbrook At 8 p. m., a large congregation listened to Rev. Alva Royston preach from the words, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." He told how Christians should not be puffed up, but should be humble and ask forgiveness and should forgive others. Manv sanctioned him with "amens." Some of the pretty songs sung by the choir were "Where He Leads Me I Will Follow," "Be a Hero," etc. The collection for the dav was large and $80 of it was given to Mrs. D. A. Holmes as a part on her husband's salary. The true followers of Christ, who belong to this church, are undismayed, but are trusting God, who will lead them as He has led them, and will not let them be without a "GET IT DONE" H. F.

M. E. church sprung a surprise on the pastor in his absence away. The pastor, getting back early Wednesday morning, getting out of his car in front of the parsonage, the first thing his eyes fell upon, was a beautiful plate trimmed in gold gilt on the right of the front door with the word in gold "Parsonage." This was not all this board had done in the way of a surprise. Sunday morning when the pastor walked into his pulpit, he found there a handsome new Bible before him. The reverend was so taken by the second surprise that he hardly knew what chair to rest in. This board also had the pulpit decorated with beautiful flowers, which they expect to keep up each Sunday.
