Closing of Big Victory Rally Sunday, July 3, at First A. M. E. Church --- KANSAS Volume VII. Our Periginating Writer Attends B.Y.P.U. Congress on the Missouri Side and Tells About What He Saw Kansas City, Mo.—If the world is moving, you will find me moving also, and at the same time I am getting to be myself one more time, yet I am far from being well. People have been praying for me and this has added much to my present condition, and this has given me insight to Dr. George Cleveland Hall to reach them bugs, and thwart their plans to destroy me. Of course your memory is long enough to know where I was last week, when I wrote to you and what I had to say, and this week I must say a few more things to you, and when I get through take my seat way back. It was a nice ride from Cincinnati, or from Wilberforce to Chicago. I did not go via Cincinnati, but Richmond, Ind., and this made things just a little interesting. I was in company with that great educator, Prof. G. A. Edwards, president of Kittrell College, Kitrell, N. C. He is indeed a wonderful character, and what I would call without stopping a great man, and he is great. His head is just full of knowledge and information. When we got to Chicago, we went right to the home of Chas. Stewart, although he was not at home we were cordially received by Chas. Stewart, Jr., who is certainly the son of his father, and while his mother had gone to lodge, he received us just like he was an old hand at the business, and made us strictly welcome. We were not expected so that the little fellow went to market and had things ready for his mother to fix dinner for us when she got home, and that was not long. I thought of what great service some. children are in this world. Dinner was over. Mrs. Stewart carried Prof. Edwards out, and I remained and watched the boys make pictures. They were printing them by electric light when I had in my mind that, it was necessary to get the sun in order to make a picture. Well, the good work went on. I enjoyed this very much, for it was like going to a picture show to me. The next morning Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Wilberforce, joined us, and we were all the guest of Mrs. E. L. Stewart, for her husband was away looking things over. She is indeed a refined cultured young woman and at the same time she knows how to cook. She makes biscuits that will just melt in your mouth and while I was sick, I ate a few melters. I wish you could have seen me walking the streets of Chicago with two educators, two college presidents. I could just feel myself getting the big head, and if you will remember here is no cure for the big head, hence I just tied a string around myhead to keep it from swelling but President Gregg cut it off, and there you have it. I did not say anything but I thought all them things. He is used to handling boys and I think he decided that he was conducting one of the school boys and I just said something in unknown broken French, Latin or some other dead language. When I was through he looked at me and said, "Excuse me?" All day Saturday we were seeing Chicago, and Prof. Edwards went over to Gary, Ind. Dr. Gregg returned with me and we both slept like clever fellows (Concluded on Page Four) - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 SPECIAL SERVICES AND PROGRAMS ALL WEEK AT FIRST CHURCH This has been jolification week at First A.

He traced Masonry from its birth in this country up until the present time, showing that not a link has been broken of the F. & A. A. York Masons since its incipiency. 1784. The sermon was enjoyed by the members of the order as well as the visitors present, who were forced to stand on account of the lodges filling the entire seating capacity of the church. Following Rev.

About four years ago the deceased had a stroke of paralysis and later on the second one and the third, which was fatal, came Monday night. He made his business a success, of which his wife has managed successfully since his illness.

It was a fine go and I enjoyed heaving all them preachers speak. In the evening I was again joined to Prof. Ed- wards and he brought me to Kansas City where I am now. We were cordially reccived by Dr. and Mrs. P. W. DeLyles as Mrs. Norene Davis, the queen of the Calanthe Courts of Kan- sas, excused me reluctantly. She had planned to have me as her guest during the week, but she knew about the efforts be- ing put forth by Dr. Thompson and Dr. George Cleveland Hall to keep me here in this world of sorrow and to prevent me from being an angel just at this time. We were soon in touch with friends. Dr. DeLyes accompan- icd President Edwards to Quin- daro, and [ went over to see Mrs. Davis, and we all joined at this hoyse, anc got on the out- side of ‘a pitche: of lemonade, Jt was uct long before the Rev. J. V. Isaac jomed us and he had his horseless carriage. It was one of them fine kind, I think you call them lemonade or something like that. He toted us around over the city, stop- ping at the home of Judge and Mrs. Bradley. Mrs. Bradley en- tertained us in the latest style, assisted by her daughter. They served us to a pitcher of lomon- ade, and music, and movies. Prof. Edwards returned to Chicago, and I continued in the city, going Monday morning to the meeting of the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, which was the number that John saw and I believee a few more, for this world: has increased in number. They were thee Sunday school workers from all parts of the country, and then a few others. They had experts in Sunday School motheds, in methods _ of reaching young people, then had Sunday school workers there from all overe the country and those who woyked for the B. Y. P.U. When it comes to that, you just touch Dr. FE. W. D. Isaac, and you can see informa- tion just rush out of his head. He knows his stuff, and just the right man to lead young people. I thank God for givitig him to us, also his son, who is some music man like his father, He is just a block off of the old chip. T have told you from time te time about Dr. W. L. Craft, and will not say more about him now, but another time. The meeting was opened, and there were thousands of people who could not get in the church. I listened to the wonderful ad. dresses, and got hold of me some inspiration, and it being so hot in the town I,got a little perspiration also, and they got acquainted with each other. * * But before going on, I must tell you that I made a trip down to Liberty to see the queen. on her throne in the South. They had what they called a grand chapter of the Order of Easterr Star, and it is a female organi. zation with a man called patro nizer who sits by the side of the queen of the South. Mrs. Lot- tie Gamble of Kansas City is that queen and when she gets on them riggins she looks like a real queen. Things move¢ along in good shape until I hac to return to Kansas City to sec the Baptists, It would just take mee : whole weeek to tell you all the things I saw in that town. Mer from Texas, from Tennessee from Utah, from Colorado from Nebraska, from Califor nia, from Kentucky. from Mis sisippi, Georgia, Alabama, Flor ida. Ohio—in fact from all th states. Thev were there as ac and who is doing so much to as- sist her husband, Mrs. Bacotee has within.her voice a fortune. She is some ex- pert when it comes to song, and I believe when she gets to heav- een she will be one of ‘the lead- ers in that hoavenly choir. She mows song, and then she knows how to play all the instruments invented by heaven. I met the president of the congress, Dr. D, W. Cannon, from Georgia, and others. I came down the line to other parts of the world, and had the pleasure of reach- ing them. Then I met Dr. B.C. Morris, presidenet of the Na- tional Baptist convention, and a genius in his line. Prof. R. B. Hudson, ‘secretary of the Ne- tional Baptist cogvention was on hand. To me it looked like a regular convention, but it was only the gathering of the young people. Mrs. DeLyles had gocd meals for me, and then her husband and son were all that I, could wish, and Dr. V. M. Townsend came all the way from Little Rock to help to entertain me. He is the coming man in the A. M. E. church. He stands for high ideals, and is pushing his work as presiding elder until ealied up higher. There were people from Kan- sas who came in to the meeting wanted to shake hands with Col. J.0. Midnight, the man who rode so much and who had been sick. They told me how they watched them bugs, to see if they were going to have more skill than the doctor, was a lady from Newton, Kansas, who had been reading after me, and she looked like my sister, and then there was her friend from Garden City. I had a card from both of them, but it seems that T have lost one, and will hope some day to find it. There was a widow with a bright future before her. She was one of them who shook my hands. I touched Editor Kenendy, Dr. Perry and others. You must look out for my letter next week, for it wil have many things in it. Goc bless you. J: O. MIDNIGHT.

In the Civil war there were 2,772.408 union troops engaged, and in the World war there were 4,800,000 soldiers, sailors and marines-en- gaged. Of the latter, 2.086,000 went overseas, and 1,399,000 fought in France. There were 115,500 deaths in the World war, divided as fol- lows: Battle deaths, 50,000; wounded overseas, 206,000; died from disease, 57.500. There were 349,944 deaths among the Union troops in the Civil war, ‘divided as follows: Killed in battle, 7,058; died of wounds, 43,012; died of disease, 199,720; died from other causes —accidents, in prisons, etc— 40,154, Congressman Sweet showed that the total amount of pen- sions paid by the government from 1790 to 1919, inclusive. and not including pensions paid to World War veterans, is’ $5,- 617,127.11. This does not in- clude cost of administering the pension system, which totaled $135,989,717.66 during the per- iod 1866-1919.

We will continue to drift unless some outstanding figure com- pels the attention of the nations We are drifting through Yap and Mesopotamia _ incidents, through recurrent Magdalena Bay and Turtle Bay rumors, through jealousies agd preju- dices and the stirrings of racial hatreds. “Steadily the unchecked cur- rents carry us toward misun- derstandings and trouble that may flare redly at any time. We drift on toward greater navies, greater burdens on already tax- burdened peoples, as the race for armaments gathers speed and determination. “We all are drifting as the world drifted before 1914. Great Britain builds super-Hoods and sea planes; Japan is busy with her ‘8-8 program’; America is trying to appropriate $400,- 000,000 for the world’s supre- macy. “Chemists ar eplaying with gases. Superguns are being evolved. Airplanes are to carry the jpreath of death’ over bat- tlefields of the next war, The same old secret watchful, dead- ly moves are going on just as they did in the generation be- fore 1914. The thunderheads of the next stoxm’ are blue on the horizons. “We have been told over avd over again that the next war means the death of civilization. Yet we go on germinating the seeds of death. and no govern- ment raises a hand to check or stav us. t “President Harding is one of the world’s commanding figures, If he will call Japan and Great Britain, they will respond. It is his duty and it should be his high privilege to summon the men of Japan and Great Britain to grave council, “The call will be heeded. Should governments hesitate. the force of public opinion will drive them to the council pile Withont faltering or delay Prés- idetn Harding should call a con- ference on armaments.” A representative from the Co-operative Lumber Exchange of South St. Paul recently visit- ed the neighborhood corner of Wisconsin to take a few orders for lumber. When the local lumber dealers learned of his arrival, they kept the telephone wires hot and used up a lot of good gasoline notifying farmers that prices on lumber had sud- denly dropped $20 per thousand feet. But the priccs of the Co- operative Lumber Exchange were even below these figures so the lumber men made a cut offer to sell shingles and barn boards lower than the best price the, Co-operative, Lumber Ex- change could quote. One lum- ber man called uv his customers three times in the same day to tell them that he had received telegrams advising him of sud- den drovs in the price of shin- gles, Funny how the bottom fell out of the lumber market in afew hours! As the Wall Street Journal warns us, “Co-operation is a signal failure.’—for the profiteers, Co-operative lumber yards have proved splendid sucesses in many northwestern cities. Like other co-operative enter- prises, there is nothing magical about them. Able management, honest goods, and sales at rea- sonable prices with dividend re- bates to members, are the sound co-operative principles that avply equally to the suc- cess of co-operative stores or lumber yards. Co-operation puts an end to extortionate profits, and enables the people to pay the legitimate profits in the lumber business to themselves. A bank’s a pretty handy con- cern after all. This was brought to light foreibly last Sunday in the case of a family of foreign birth residing on Walker ave- nue, between Twefth and Thir- teenth streets. The housewife had occasion to go down town and hid $460 in currency in a pile of papers in the heating stove. She neglected to take the money from its hiding place when she rturned, The stove was never used during warm weather, anyhow. Sunday, be- fore the woman awoke her hus- band decided to take a bath and started a fire in the stove to heat the water. The woman was aroused by the noise and poured water on the fire just in time to save $60 of the roll. Some of the charred bills have been sent to the treasury department for possible redemption. The man of the house works every day in a packing house and can ill afford to lose the money. He will patronize the banks here- after, in all probability. The job of state printers seems to be going begging. It has been slyly tried to secure a union printer for the place, by approaching them through mu- tual friends, but few union printers care to serve in any capacity under the Allen ffag. To quote th words of August Dorehy, eo-partner with Alex. Howat in the trial at Columbus this week: “The state printer is a mere figurehead and the man who takes a job under Al- len is niore or less of a pin- head.” — A little girl in a neighborhood kindergarten received an un- warranted rebuke from her teacher. “Mary, you mustn’t chew gum in school,” said the teach- er. “Ym not chewing gum,” said Marv, “P’vt got a new teoth coming and I can’t keep my tongue out of it.” The knocker who does noth- ing himself should be muzzled with a revérse gas mask so he would get the fpll benefit from his own frothing. It would not take long for him to turn up his toes, and the world would be better off. —_— A miners band from Fronte- nac which serenaded Alexander Howat Monday at Columbus, was ordered of the stretes * There “are some people who do not want the earth, but there are some who really want all there is in it. ————— It is needless to acquire ‘nowledge unleses we have a little common sense to season it. ge Dr. G.
