Kansas City Advocate

KANSAS One Noticeable Effect of Uniform Rank Training Was the Promotion and the Honors Members Received Who Served in the World War Rank is in a Very Healthy Condition Volume VII. To Staff, Field and Line Officers of the Kansas Jurisdiction of the Uniform Department of Knights of Pythias: Greeting: Pursuant to General Orders No. 4, dated and sent out June 30, 1921, you have been called here to hear the report of the business and condition of this department and such other business that may be the duty of this body to perform. Owing to the declaration of war shortly after your commander took hold of this office and many of our Sir Knights being called to arms for their country, this office did not deem it wise to call a Brigade meeting, as it would be expensive to each individual that attended and little could be accomplished. First, let us be thankful that our Supreme Ruler, that this murdereous and bloody war has come to an end and that our boys are returning to us, unharmed, as we have prayed, with earnest hearts that it might be so. When your commander took this office, about one year and nine months ago, he found five active companies, with one at Coffeyville inactive, which is the same today. We had at that time 98 men, including officers, and today we have gone frdm 98 men and 6 companies, to 178 men and 8 companies, with two more companies on the way. Shortly after I took the office the Government commenced drawing heavily on all of our companies, with the exception of one (Mid-West No. 2) and by the first of June, 1918, some of the companies had sent to the front nearly one-half of their men. This being the condition, not much militarism in our ranks could be seen. The Brigadier General's office. as had been done up to the time of his administration, kept up a regular correspondence with those in command, that were left in charge. And also kept in touch with our brave boys, as far as possible, who were in foreign fields and doing this, it was a means that held our companies intact and today we have the largest and strongest military rank in this state since its organization. I do not take any credit nor do I want any of the glory, but the staff and the boys, who stayed at their posts and kept the home fires burning, while our brother Sir Knights were on the battlefields of France, that we have joy, peace and harmony among us. Let us as brother Sir Knights, ever keep a warm place in our hearts for these braves, who left father, mother, wife, sister, brother and sweethearts, that we might at least anticipate a greater freedom. Two New Companies On February the 24th of this year, my Assistant Adjutant and myself mustered in a company, at Ottawa, Victory No. 10, with 21 men, and on the 18th of March of this year, we mustered in Stringer company No. 11, Kansas City, Kansas, with 35 men, and both of these companies have increased their number since and are doing nicely. While uniforms are very much higher, these new companies are fitting their men out in the late regulation, as well as many of the other companies are complying with our new regulations. and I wish to urge at this time those who have not, may do so at their earliest convenience. Next month, is our Biennial Supreme encampment, which will be held in Atlantic City, and I wish it could be that every company in this jurisdiction could go, but it cannot be so, SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 but I can say from the reports I have been receiving from commanders and high up officials in the west and south, every Sir Knight in our ranks may go in camp for one week, at our next Supreme encampment. 1921, as we expect to bring it tc Kansas City, Mo. The only thing that will defeat it, will be lack of representation from the heads of our Grand Lodges and the Uniform Department. Missouri will take all of her field officers and their First Regiment band and Kansas should be there, as strong as possible, as it being so closely allied with Missouri, it would greatly strengthen our sister state, or in not being there, weaken its chances, so if you desire to see the 1921 encampment next door to you, let us do our part in bringing it here. Let us say we had a part in it. Now, as we are organized on a business basis, which has never been done before, the business of this department will be carried out on strictly business principles. Here I wish to show my appreciation to the retiring Brigadier General, Dr. F. O'Harra Miller, for his words of encouragement and good will, also his Assistant Adjutant, Colonel C. P. Edwards. I wish to_ thank my staff, commanders of companies for their support and the very pleasant correspondence and association that has been my pleasure, as your commander, for the past 20 months, and may it continue with a greater nearness of brotherly love that never dies. Sir Knights Have Preference It was not long after the boys entered the service until they saw more military efficiency in the Sir Knight than in the ordinary enlisted man and the war records show that he was given the preference, as to rang and I am glad to say that those who went from our ranks in many instances, received these honors. It is the one great aim of your commander in 1920 to see 150 uniform men, with their second to none military band, go into camp for three days, wherever our next Grand Session is held. I wish to say right here it matters not who is in command of this jurisdiction, my unstinted support and influence will be for its success. So let every Sir Knight in this jurisdiction start now to prepare to be present. Let each officer and Sir Knight return to their respective companies, with new zeal and a greater anxiety to be the best company, from a viewpoint of military efficiency, in the state and if you will do this, in 1921 there will be some Supreme prizes coming to the Sunflower state. Brigade Taxes When I took charge of this office I found a Brigade tax of $2.50 per quarter, to be paid quarterly from each company. The money was to be used in defraying whatever expense the Brigadier General's office necessitated and what was left, to be voted out as to this body's best judgment. There was not any Brigade money turned over to this office when I took charge, but as my financial report will show, every cent can be accounted for, with a balance in the bank. This office has been very lenient with the companies, in making their reports and especially their brigade taxes. on account of war conditions, but the office wants to treat all alike and must do so, in anything reasonable and fair, so don't ask (Concluded on Third Page) Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, July 29, 1921 STATE CLOSES ORPHANS' HOME BECAUSE OF UNSANITARY CONDITION Effort Will Be Made to Revive This Estimable Institution—Has Been Supported by the Schools Principally—Building Too Old to Be Repaired CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Frid Mrs. Jerry Stone and Mrs. Grace Bender, of Denver, Colo., visited their sister, Mrs. John Parker, at 844 Washington boulevard. Mrs. Wm. Boone and children are in Spokane, Wash., giving concerts and visiting her mother. STATE CLOSES ORPHANSES OF UNSANITARY Effort Will Be Made to Revive stitution—Has Been Su Schools Principally Too Old to Be R The Children's Orphan Home at Ninth street and Washington boulevard, has been ordered closed. For the past year the State of Kansas has withdrawn its help, due to the delapidated condition of the building and the unsanitary and unsightly surroundings. The home, however, with the support given by the colored schools, has been able to keep its doors open. The inspection was made last year in July and sanitary conditions have improved very much, but we have not been able to build a new home. The building is not worth repairing. This order came to the president, Mr. Chas. Slaughter, at a time when the general treasury was about empty. The board had a letter prepared to send to each colored lodge and church to ask them to help buy food and pay current bills. The only regular income the board has is $35.00 from the county. This amount is used to pay the matron. There are seven children in the home. Five of these children, ranging from three to thirteen years of age, will be turned over to a widow who at A CALL Lawyers Take Notice, and Interest as Well Beyond all question the assembly of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias in Topeka will bring together a great number of well informed and representative men of the race. There will be men and brothers from all walks and professions, among them many members of the legal profession. Knowing such to be true and feeling the need of what may come from it, prompted the idea of asking the lawyers of the race, in the United States, to use this very excellent occasion to organize themselves into an association. I feel satisfied that the wisdom of the effort will not be questioned. Also that the possibilities and powers of such an association for good, will also be conceded. Among the purposes of the association will be the following: 1. To establish a more perfect and closer union between such members of the profession. 2. To increase the effectiveness of their labors. 3. To raise the standard of ability to the highest possible point. 4. To devise the much needed means of bringing the rank and file of our people to a clear and full understanding of the force, power and real worth of the lawyer in the community. 5. To impress upon the lawyer a deep and proper conception of the relation and duty to the body of the people. 6. To awaken that happy strain of mutuality, so much needed for the material benefit of all concerned, and which can lead no other way than onward and upward. The exact day and hour of the meeting will be announced from time to time at the assembly of the Supreme Lodge. All lawyers are enginee I. F. BADLEY, I. F.

ANS' HOME BECAUSE CONDITION Revive This Estimable In n Supported by the pally—Building Be Repaired present is out of employment. The home has cared for these children for the past eleven months. The mother has not paid one penny for food or care. She has given them clothes when she could. One little girl whose mother is dead, has been in the home for more than a year and her father paid $2.50 a week for her care. He has been very sick and has not been able to work for more than five months. The home has cared for this child during that time. Another girl without mother or father will be homeless. At present she is at work caring for a small child. These children all need help. We must build a home for them. We have $1,600 on deposit for building. Who will help swell this fund? There are other children in this city that would be in that home if the conditions were livable and in keeping with present day civilization. The home is needed in this community and it is regrettable that the colored citizens have not made better provision for the unfortunate of the race. HAVE SPECIAL COACH A large number of Knights of Pythians and Calantheans from here attended the Grand Session at Parsons this week. The party had a special coach going and coming, over the Katy. Leavenworth, Atchison, Lawrence and Topeka joined Kansas City here. One of the prettiest society events of the season was given Thursday evening, July 14, at the residence of Mrs. G. W. Hall, 619 North Twelfth street, in honor of Miss Gertrude Wheeler, one of Kansas City's popular and efficient young teachers, who was married to one of Kansas City's prominent business men and whose marriage took place Wednesday evening evening, July 20. There were present sixty of Greater Kansas City's social stars who departed declaring Mrs. Hall an ideal hostess. Mrs. Hall was assisted by Mrs. Jessie West, Mrs. Ruth Brooks, Mrs. Victoria French-Gray, Mrs. Gussie McAdams, Mrs. Yella Jackson and Mrs. Fannie Thomas. The Pleasure Study Art Club closed with an annual picnic Wednesday, Miss King of Oklahoma and Mr. Calhoun of Chicago were the guests. The ladies' husbands came out to supper. The club will open early in September at the home of Mrs. L. Ellis, 2083 North Sixth street. Mrs. A. E. Crump, president. Mrs. Stephens, secretary. Mrs. Libbie Allen, wife of Rev.

The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North Carolina Set a Record for the Transaction of Business—Twenty four Elapsed Hours Were Sufficient THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Wilmington, N. C.—I have been going some three days, and I want to pay my respects to Dr. George C. Hail, one of the greatest physicians and surgical doctors in this country, who has made it possible for me to do some going, and for me to begin to look like life instead of death. That man knows how to listen to the bugs, hear what they have to say, and then knock their plans out. I was looking in the door of the grave when I reached him. It was Dr. H, W. Conrad who first snatched me from death, and then I kept on going until I reached New York and had fallen back to where I started almost, and when them doctors out there got through they turned me over to Dr. Hall, and he has been doing some real work. He has a surprise in store for the world, and he is going to bring it to the public in a short time now, and I am going to tell you about him. Yes, I have been one more going man. When I wrote you that other letter I was down in Savannah, Ga., with them Knights there, and believe me they are some Knights. I have told you about them, and I made it from Savannah to Wilmington, reaching there ahead of the Knights so that I could find some way of getting in and seeing what I could see and hearing what I could hear. Reaching Wilmington over the S. A. L., the Rev. Dr. John E. Jackson, pastor of St Stehens A. M. E. church, and one of the leading pastors of North Carolina—in fact he is the man that all of the state should get behind for Missionary Secretary, was at the stable with his automobile car carriage, and toted me over to his stopping place, or to his home, where I was to hang my hat during my stay. Dr. Jackson was as cordial as could be in his reception and wanted me to have something to eat. This I refused, for I am not eating much these days, but cutting down on my real size. Sunday was spent in the town and Saturday night I went on a mission of getting acquainted with the city of Wilmington, N. C., and believe me, honey, I got some acquainted, for that minister did tote me in his car some rounds. We went to the Community hospital, which is a place worth while, for there is where our people are making things come to pass and they are doing it by pulling together. This is a practical demonstration of the doctrine of "self help." This is an organization, and the hospital a three-story building equipped with X-ray and other things for doing first-class work, is under a board of directors, Dr. Foster F. Burnett, president and superintendent; Dr. John W. Kay, assistant superintendent; Rev. John E. Jackson, D.D., secretary; Rev. A. Wilson, D.D., treasurer; Rev. W. H. Moore, D.D., assistant secretary; Thomas H. Hooper, first vice-president; Miss Georgia C. King, R.N., head nurse; Misses Anna Greeman, Cossie Freeman and Pearl Johnson, nurses. It was indeed a busy place. They did not start out with "Help poor colored man," but the business men, headed by Thomas H. Hooper and others, put down $7,000, purchased the building, started to doing business, and then appeared before the city fathers and put it right up to thm. A committee was appointed to investigate it, and they voted to pay to the institution $1,800 per annum, and they have put it up to the county, and it is believed that the county is going to vote a like sum. Number 51. I would mention Thomas H. Hooper, because he is one of the most remarkable men in this section of the country. He is superintendent of his Sunday school (St. Stephens), and is shipping clerk for some lumber company, a very responsible position. Then he is a man who has saved his money and has something to show for it. A full house of children, all being educated, and then some good real estate. He owns a business block, a large hall and some other property. He is foremost in everything that means something to the race. Rev. A. J. Wilson, if you recall, was chairman of the Episcopal committee at the General Conference of the A. M. E. church, and is now slated for the episcopacy 1924. Then there is Miss Georgia C. King, a graduate registered nurse in North Carolina, who is a remarkable little woman. She knows business and has the love and respect of all who may know or come in contact with her. She impressed me very much as a painstaking nurse, and one in whose hands you may trust your life. She is jolly when not onduty, but believe me, she is strictly business when it comes to business, and all play is put aside. The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North Carolina is indeed a busy place, and they are doing business for us as a race. At the head is Dr. J. W. Jones, of Winston-Salem, one of the leading physicians of the state, and a man of great ability. He is a leader of men, and a great organizer. You may get an idea when I tell you they opened at noon Tuesday and Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock were all ready to go home. All committees had reported, officers were elected and installed, Raleigh selected for the next annual session, and "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow" dished out and the closing prayer followed. Now what did they do? They spoke right out in church, so to speak, against wrongs which must be righted. They told the world what they thought about present conditions. Some of the men: I met Dr. C. S. Brown, president of the Lott-Carey Missionary convention, which will meet the last week of August in Newark, N. J.; Dr. James E. Shepherd, grand master of Masons of this state, president of the National Training school; Durham, and one of the leading educators of America; Prof. J. M. Avery, master of Exchequer, who is also one of the officials of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the largest and wealthiest company belonging to the race; Dr. A. M. Moore, president, who also was present. Prof. Avery is not a man to make much talk, but as deep as that place in the ocean where the Titanic went down, and as broad as humanity itself. He is a scolar, a financier and a leader. It is nice to come in touch with this remarkable character. Prof. J. B. Dudley, president of the A. and T. college, Greensboro, and another remarkable education leader of the age, and a man who believes in doing things. In the grand lodge were many other doctors, lawyers, bankers, professors, college presidents, editors, merchants, farmers, clerks, stenographers, and all other kind of industrial and business and professional men and women. I just had to look and shout when I saw how them educated people transacted business and how they all pulled together. They did not (Concluded on Page Four) MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES As the Odd Fellows had held their Grand Lodge in this week and had received their first written welcome with their signs, the "All-seeing Eye," and the "three links," on the bulletin board, written by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, many of them remained over Sunday to services. At 11 A. M. Dr. J. C. Mitchell preached on "Sin" and the forbidden fruit. He linked this with the birth and boyhood of Christ, and metaphorically speaking, showed how Christ, when playing showed the supernatural life in Him by doing wonderful things. He proved his assertions, also, by Biblical parables. The large congregation was spellbound, and the Christians shouted or sanctioned with "amens." At 8 P. M., another large audience listened to Dr. Mitchell's sermon on "Nature and Grace." I Peter I, 23-24. "Being born again not as corruptible seed, but as incorruptible, by the grace of God, which liveth forever." He showed his Apostalic authority in handling this subject, and again some shouted and many sanctioned and praised his wonderful revelations from God. Some united with the church, and he is invited to preach again next Sunday. The choir was larger at night and sang, "God Will Take Care'of You," and "The King's Business," two favorites of the masses of people. Dr. Holley acted as church host and Deacons Oliver, Ford, S. L. Johnson, Hulsey, Thomas, Jennings and others were sponsors. The crowds especially at night are larger than they were when they had their last pastor. The collections average nearly $100 each Sunday, so the Deacons and members are holding their own fine thus far. Next Sunday, July 31st, Dr. J. C. Mitchell will preach two other wonderful sermons at the "Religious Feast in the Temple." He says come everybody ready to receive arevelation from God as the Holy Spirit directs him. 5:30 Sunday morning prayer meeting. Mrs. S. J.

Novelty in National Airs A kindergartner asked of her pupils which they would like to sing of the national songs they had learned the day before.

BRIGADIER GENERAL'S REPORT this office to do something, when you know it's out of order and common reason. It is not fair or neither is it right for a few companies to keep up the expense of this Brigade, or any other duty bound obligation and I am sure no company, nor any true Sir Knight would feel right to allow it to be done knowingly. Another thing and especially to company commanders: When you receive orders or a letter from this office and a reply is its contents, don't delay in sending it as soon as possible, as it is business in the first place, and, secondly, we don't aim to spend money and time, without getting results and your quick reply will do much in giving them. There is one other thing you should know and that is, if you wish to be informed of something you do not understand or of some dissatisfaction which may arise, either in your company or your commanding of EXPENSE 1917.

One motion elected all the officers, as was done in Georgia. I met Prof. Hannum, of Salisbury, who just shook my lily black hand and told me how much he got out of reading after me. You will perhaps be surprised to know that since I have started this letter, and before I can get through writing it, I am right in the heart of Chicago. Remarkable age in which we live. I made it from Wilmington to Richmond, and going to the office in the station stable, I asked the man in charge to sell me a ticket for a bed car from Richmond, Va., to Cincinnati, Ohio, and without a question he shelled me out the ticket and extracted $4.05 from my pocket. What do you think of being able to get a bed right out of Richmond. Better times are coming. boys, get ready for them, Refinement and culture must go a long ways. Things are getting in shape in this city for the National Baptist convention which promises to be the largest and most aggressive in the history of the organization. You should try to be at this wonderful meeting. There are going to be some things done here during the session. Dr. A. M. Townsend will tell about the progress in making the new building, and they are going to have it. Rev. L. K. Williams, the pastor of Olivet Baptist church, has gone west to get some rest before the meeting of the convention. He has put everything in motion, and as I am a member of his church, has placed me on a local committee, and you know with me on a committee there will be some doings. I will tell you all about it. It is the first time I have been on a committee since I have been in the world. I am now enroute to Kansas and my next letter will be from there. I have a few things I desire to say to you about the meeting of the supreme lodge, and the National Negro Business League. Get ready for both of them. Arrange for your bed cars in going to Atlanta. It would be nice if the people would mobilize and get sleepers and this would be good traveling. I will talk about it also in my next. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. God bless you. J. O. MIDNIGHT.
