Coal Yard Number 2 to Open Monday, July 18, by Lambright Coal and Fuel Co. At Fifteenth Street and College Avenue, Kansas City Mo. --- KANSAS Volume VII. MUST TREAT WITH US AS MAN TO MAN SAYS MIDNIGHT No More Hat-in-Hand, "Yassah, Boss;" Will Go—Our Writer is in Washington Washington, D. C.—I have never had any desire to get away from the race. God made me a real back man, with blue eyes and I think He knew just what he was doing, and I am going to fight it out along this line if it takes all summer. But there is an effort on the part of one man to crush the real manhood in his brother, and unless he goes way back and takes a seat and permits the white man to do his thinking then he must be looking for a job. I am sure that you have been keeping up with the times, and you have seen that there have been some changes made in the schools of our people. For instance, for the past 20 years or more Prof. N. B. Young, one of the strongest men in this race of ours, a man who has devoted his life in helping to make men, to helping our young people to find the real man and woman, has been let out as president of the State School in Tallahassee, Fla, and reason assigned was that he was not in harmony with the industrial plan. Prof. Young has worked and worked hard to develop a real school in Florida. He has advocated the reaching of a man through the mind. He has believed in manual training, but wanted it all done through the cultivation of the mind, which is the real man at work. He wanted more blacksmiths, more carpenters, more wheelwrights, more everything, but he thought that they should all be educated men and at the same time he wanted for Florida a real college. To this end he has worked, and to this end he has acted, doing a great big job for my people. He was a man, every inch of him. He did not go to the white people with his hat under his arm, "Yessah boss," but it was man meeting man, as it should be, and now you see what it costs to be a man. The same thing happened to Prof. Sampson, of Staunton school, Jacksonville, Fla., and next year he will be in a school where he can exercise his gift as a man. He will be at Edward Waters college. Bishop John Hurst called him in, and extended him a place, and there is right now a real place for Prof. Nathan B. Young, but I have not heard from him yet. He will be in some place within the next few days. You can't keep a good man down. It is hard to tell just where that white man is going to strike next, but let us keep on coming on and at the same time keep on preparing our boys and girls to meet the demand of the times in which we live. I believe the policy in the future will be to get me in our schools who will teach the Negro that he is not a man, and that his mission is to do only manual labor, and not to fill the higher stations in life, but any man who thinks that the Negro is going to accept any such doctrine at this day he belongs to the class of American damphools, and he could easily take his place at the head of the class. Tell him that I said so, and then tell him who I am. The school room has been preparing men for a long time. Man is no longer comparing his manhood with the brute, but he is putting his mind in touch (Continued on Fourth Page) SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 YORK RITE MASONS HAD ANNUAL SER-MON LAST SUNDAY More Than 5,000 Filled the Beautiful Pews of St. Stephens Baptist Church in K. C., Mo. Eighteen hundred York Rite Masons attended the big annual sermon Sunday, July 10, at St. Stephens Baptist church, Ninth and Harrison streets, Missouri side. More than 5,000 people filled the pews of beautiful St. Stephens Baptist church Sunday afteroon in the Twent-sixth Annual sermon of York Rite Masons in the State of Missouri. Thousands of people waited along the thoroughfare in the rays of a blazing hot sun to witness the pasing of more than 1,800 York Rite Masons and Heroines of Jericho as they marched from he hall at Eighteenth and Grove streets, on their way to the church, where thousands of people anxiously waited their coming. More than 700 Heroines of Jericho barricaded themselves on the upper floor of St. Stephens Church, the Scarlet cord hung out of the window to wait the approach of hundreds of workmen from the Temple, where they had been taught to approach the East and receive wages. It was a high day for York Masons. There were three bonds in the procession and they furnished a shower of highly appropriate music for the occasion. At the head of the procession was] the Royal Arch Chapter, and the Knights of Templars acting as an escort of guards which Masonry would feel at a very disadvantage without, Many Masons of every degree and Rite were curious and interested spectators filed into the church which had never been occupied before by men of color. Nor have there ever been a more nobler collection of people filled the pews of St. Stephens Baptist church in all its history of a Presbyterian church. There were many interesting adresses and no small collection of beautiful papers read by both men and women. We highly commend Dr. J. W. Hurse upon his address of welcome to the fraternity of York Masons. He could not have said any more under any circumstances notwithstanding the very peculiar lines that Masonry within itself has drawn of which we are not responsible. Would that all distinction of individual rites could be removed and the lines erased from around the state and the cause of Masonry could spread without a hyphen throughout the International and the National World. So when fraternalism looks to the East for light there it will see the letter "G" inshrouded in all the mysteries of geometry, with the Square hanging in the South, and the Plumb suspended in the West, and men of every walk of life and every shadow and degree of Masonry could be seen coming up out of the four corners of the world, marching under one great banner of International and National free-born Masons. An interesting sermon was delivered by the Grand Master of King Solomon Jurisdiction of Kansas City, Kansas, Rev. J. A. Broadnax, and he showed himself a master workman from the workshop of the Temple. The corners of rough stones were easily broken off and made ready for the builder's use. We are very grateful to Kansas City, Kansas, and commend Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, July 15, 1921 M. B. CITY Kansas City, Kansas, F Open Monday, July Street and College District Grand Master, of Kansas City, Kansas, who will preside over the Thirty-eighth them highly on their human sublime. Let us use the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, when he declared that "There are many sheep, but not of this flock."We want to thank you for your presents and contribution as a square man. We feel it would be an injustice to the principles of the secret order of our ancient institution if we fail to extend to you this gratitude that is rightfully due you as well as the general public. Again we thank Dr. Hurse and St. Stephens Baptist church for the open hospitality for the reception of our order. May St. Stephen flourish in the Courts of King Solomon Temple and reap its rich reward in the dews of Mount Herman. J. W. WILLIAMS, G. S., 2017 Howard Avenue, Kansas City, Mo.

Well, what in the world are you waiting so for, Uncle Ike? Chile, I doan kno what I is er waitin fur. It's fur whatever is gwynter be done, by whoever is gwynter ter do it, I reckon;—dats what Ise er waitin fur, I guess. An I do wish that some move would be made, or something would be said, by those who are in the right attitude to do so. For I am fully convinced that our continuance to do Nothing, does not prevent those who would exploit us; from doing something. While any suggestion or move, though it may not be productive of all we may desire, would have the soul-satisfying quality, that comes from knowing and feeling that we are trying to do our best. While to lie by, inactive, may be all right or even better, still I cannot believe it the best plan However, I am still waiting, and it is somebody's move. MANY ATTEND EDUCA TIONAL CONVENTION The teachers who attended the National Educational convention at Des Moines report a splendid session.

Lozanto, vice-president of the International Purity Association, of which Rt. Rev. Samuel Fallows, D.D., Ph.D., L.L.D., Bishop, is president, stating, "It is to my mind, high time for some of my race to step out in the open and stand for justice for the Negro in all lines. And the Tulsa riot is a call loud and strong for a change in conditions." Mme. Lozante is white. The times are ripe for women and men of her type to step out without mental reservation in the cause of humanity. Mme. Lozanto is aiding in a financial pen and platform way. The "Tulsa Then and Now" has been read and favorably commented upon by groups of white men in Kansas City. Lodges, churches and individuals are beginning to realize the intense need of the riot victims and are contributing accordingly. Send money in any amount, making money orders or checks payable to S. D. Hooker, chairman of the Colored Relief Committee, Tulsa, Okla. Thanks to Rev. J. F.Griffin, his congregation and the N. A. A. C.

LITTLE Congressman Prevents Injustice Being Done to Kansan by Chief Clerk in Washington Bureau Washington, D. C, July 6, 1921. To the Editor of The Advocate: Kansas City, Kansas. My Dear Editor: Please insert in your paper, The Advocate, for the benefit of the colored readers and subscribers that Hon. E. C. Little, congressman from the Second District, Kansas City, Kansas, is in the writer's opinion one of the greatest friends of the race ever sent from Kansas. He has on several occasions defended colored constituents from his district as well as those from the state at large from gross injustice meted out to the race by ranking Democrats here in government departments. When a Democrat acting as chief clerk of one of the departments proceeded to take advantage of a colored employee, one John E. Phillips of Kansas City, Kansas, without sufficient allegations to merit his discharge, as it was conceded by friends, he was told to appeal to his Congressman, Hon. E. C. Little, who put up a staunch fight and had him replaced in his former position with full pay during the time of suspension. Let us hope for Congressman Little and all such men who take such stand for the right for all individuals regardless of race, creed or color a long and continued administration in the House of Congress. Respectfully submitted, EDGAR H. BANKS. NOTICE SUNFLOWER COMPANY. The Sunflower Company Ladies Drill Team No.1 will not drill Friday night at the public installation of Bright Eagle Court.

A great tabernacle has been erected in the heart of the residence district of our people in this city and under the direction of St. John A M. E. church, Rev. T. H. Stoner, pastor, Dr. H. Franklin Bray, the Rocky Mountain Evangelist, is conducting a revival meeting that gives promise of such an awakening and ingathering as old Indianapolis has not witnessed in many a year. There have been results from the very beginning and the interest grows with each succeeding service. Evangelist Bray is a wonderful man of God delivering such telling blows against sin as cause the most sin-hardened to yield. Ministers and people are co-operating and an abundant harvest is assured. The revival will continue until the first week in August. To Friends and the Public I desire to inform you that I am now located at 428 Minnesota avenue, Room 3, upstairs. See my ad in this issue. J.

TULSA THEN—AND NOW The Tulsa colored relief committee has gotten out, through Prof G. A. Gregg, its author, a 16-page booklet giving on the ground facts before and after the riot. Also giving a staterment and partial list of those whose property was burned and valuation. It shows the losses run up in the millions, including eight churches and grade school, and one hospital and dozens of blocks of homes and business houses. Prof. G. A. Gregg received this week a very encouraging letter from St. Joseph, Ma., from a white woman in regard to the Tulsa affair and stated she was at his service to assist in any way to help relieve the unfortunate sufferers. This woman is the first of her race so far as the committees is concerned to inquire or offer their services to the relief of the Tulsa victims. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES At 11 a. m., Dr. Luckett of Texas, preached a good sermon to a large congregation At 8 p. m., he preached to a large number again on "What think ye of Christ?" He showed how we should accept and witness truthfully on our faith in Christ, that several united with the church. The church is getting along nicely. Next Sunday, July 17th, Dr. Ross, of Coffeyville, Kans., will preach. They say Dr. Harper is a fine church worker, especially in finance. There is a chance for whoever is chosen as pastor of this church to raise $8,000 or $10,000 needed to complete this great modern temple. Many still hold Dr. Hayes and Dr. Hill as fine preachers. The official board will soon meet and select and recommend a pastor. Come and enjoy services at this church. All are welcome. Don't forget to hear Dr. Ross of Coffeyville next Sunday, July 17th, all day. Deacons L. Oliver, S. L. Johnson, J. Ford, Taylor, Hulsey, Thomas, McCombs and others are greatly pleased with the way the Metropolitan members are holding together. Rev. A Royston was present at Metropolitan Sunday night. CHRISTIAN CHURCH The new pastor, Dr. Davis, has started things to moving in a substantial way, both spiritually and financially. The members are rallying to the leadership of this strong Gospel minister. The church has been well reorganized by the new pastor, and every member is becoming in closer touch with the working principles, which they desire to accomplish—a new house of worship, which they hope to have soon, through their sacrifices and the assistance of friends. Many of the city's most prominent families are staunch members of this church and their loyalty to its cause, is unshaken. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

CHURCH NEWS Sunday brought to the house of worship a large audience of church communicants; also many visitors and friends of First Church. Rev. J. F. Griffin, while physically weak, on account of a severe cold, delivered a most wonderful sermon. It was uplifting, helpful and full of Gospel fruit. At the close of the service the pastor announced to the members that it had been his pleasure and happy privilege to see every scrap of paper against First Church to be cancelled the past week, which was the happiest moment of his life. Hearts rejoiced with the pastor all over the church, and especially those who for many years had prayed, toiled and sacrificed for years to see this day come. Never did captains in any rally work as faithful without a murmur as the 108 who made this victory possible. While this was known as Victory rally, it should also be known as Honor rally as it was an honor indeed to the captains to be the ones to lead First Church out of the wilderness. Every member and friend who contributed their names are engraved on this honor roll. He who trusts in God will overcome. "I want him to use me; I do; don't you? For service to choose me, I do; don't you? I want Him to blass me, to own and confess me, completely possess me, I do; don't you?" The Sabbath school will have a joint picnic with Allen Chapel school August 27th, at Grove's Center, when a large portion of the school will be given free transportation over the interurban there and return.

I will have earned my place in God's universe. I am knocking at the door of opportunity and telling him to get out of the way of a man, for I am going to enter and take up those who are around begging for the touch of a man. I was in Elizabeth City, N. C., when I wrote to you last week, and there I was in company with some real men. Bankers, doctors, merchants, business men were my companions, and a few educators. All took me in as one of them, and I tried to look wise whether or not I could keep up with them. But they did give me some big direct in harmony with the God who made him out of the dust of the ground. He is thinking Godward, and when a man thinks that way it is impossible to get him down. He is always looking up, and getting in touch with the higher things. Every man in America had just as well make up his mind that he must treat with me as a real man and not as a toy, or a boy. I have passed those stars, and now gazing up into the fact of the sun and asking, "Who are you, from where did you get your heat and what is your relation to God? I am asking about the spots on the sun, and all them other things. I am looking into the face of science and asking, "What is your relation to me?" I am just some pumpkins now, and I am going to be. This is all because I am thinking. I have been going some since time, and invited me to come again and be at home with them. Now there was Dr. G. W.

No.3 Cordwell, at whose home I stayed, except one night when I stopped with the cashier of the Albermarle Bank, Banker W. H. Holland, and he is a man who has made his way from the ground up to the top. I had the pleasure of meeting a sorry set of preachers in that man's town, but then that's their business and I will not meddle with them this time. I feel like saying a few things about the job lot of preachers of Elizabeth City, but you may not know them. Not all of them, but a few. Now away from Elizabeth City, I made my way to the bank, at Norfolk, Portsmouth, found Levi C. Brown, president of the Mutual Savings Bank, Portsmouth, Va., and his family in good health; J. S. L. Jones, of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, doing well, and I would mention another chaacter, but time will not permit me to do so, for I made it over to Hampton. Hampton is one of the great institutions for the training of our people. This is where white men and women can do and are doing their work. There are but few of our people connected with this great educational plant, except as students, and we are all that. This is an institution which furnishes an opportunity to the white man and women to serve us to instruct our young people. Some of them are rendering an unselfish service, and are true blue, but you must not expect all of them to be. There is a fine man at the head of the school, and I am proud of him. He is bringing about man changes, and I thank him for them. The standard is being raised more and more. I want to see him just put in a few more of us in the faculty. I am just making this suggestion now, and hope to not become unpopular in so doing. From Hampton I beat it to Washington, and to the home of W. H. Jernagin, who is now way out on that big ocean going to Europe. He has gone there in the interest of his people. I had the pleasure of attending a big meeting at Mt. Carmel Baptist church, presided over by the Rev. Dr. Randolph, and there were some speakers there. They said many good things about the man who deserved to have them said about him. Editor J. Finley Wilson, of the Eagle, flew around some, and when he lighted there was some by Mr. Pendleton, and it was presented with check and cash by Mr. Pendleton, and is was all in all a great big meeting, and some money was put in his hand. I then beat it to New York, because I could not go to Low York, and New York could not come to me. It is some city, and you may tell the world I told you so. It was so hot there that flies were dying for the want of a cool breeze. I got there and got out without dy- ing, but it was a job. I was the quest of Dr. Montrose W. Thornton, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, and one of the greatest preachers in the A. M. E. church. He knows a thing or two, and he is one of the men who has been trained in true manhood He was presented a gold medal at his annual conference by the conference, because of what he had accomplished for the church, and the general conference will put its approval to his labor in 1924, and I want to be there to see him crowned a bishop. I got through with New York and then made my way to another place, but I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Jernagin off, and then in touching hands with some of the leaders around there. I had gone the rounds in New York; painted the town red and blue, and made it back to Washington, where I am write to you at this time, but will have been in Savannah, Ga., and perhaps will be in Wilmington, N. C., and you declare that I am the most ridingest man you you have ever seen. I am sure that you would like to have to pay my riding bill for just one month. But I will have to bring this letter to a stop. I wish you could just drop into the Nurse's Home in New York and see all them graduate nurses and how they are pulling toegather. I am just going to devote a letter to them soon. Take good care of yourself. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Miss Estella Wilson is teaching summer school in Muskogee.
