KANSAS ANNUAL SESSION KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS AND CALANTHES WIN PRAISE AT STATE MEET AT PARSONS Parsons, Kans., July 29. One of the most successful sessions of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias has passed into history, and the Sunflower Grand Lodge and the Sunflower Grand Court of Calanthe have started upon another year, retaining all the old officials, Dr. S.H. Thompson, Grand Chancellor, and Mrs. Norene Davis, Grand Worthy Counsellir. All of Kansas is now turning attention to the Supreme Lodge which will be in Topeka, commencing August 14 and taking in the whole week. The Uniform Rank will pitch tents Sunday. All day long thousands of uniform rank men will be arriving in the city. It will be the largest gathering that has ever met in Kansas. They are coming from all over the country, and it has been said that there will be several foreign visitors. Those who are fortunea enough to reach here Monday night were given a rare treat by some of the best local talent of the city. The program was an anthem by the choir of Brown Chapel A. M. E. Choir; piano solo, Miss Lucille Holland; vocal solo, Jesse Merida, Jr., reading, Newton Bowser; duet, J. D. Brown and S. O. Clayton; selection, spiritual, Brown Chapel choir; contralto solo, Mrs. J. D. Brown; mixed quartet, Brown's Harmony Four; reading, Miss Lucille Dorsey; violin solo, Ray Jones; Anthem choir; vocal solo, Walter Davis; reading, Miss Lucy Clark; tenor solo, J. D. Brown. Tuesday morning at 9:30 bot hgavels sounded in the two halls in Hall's academy, calling to order, same time the Grand at the same time the Grand Lodge and the Grand Court. Dr. S. H. Thompson was in a lively spirit, and in his opening remarks spoke to the Knights congratulating them on their good health, and saying that God had been good to the Pythian Order during the past 12 months, and there was an increase in membership, and along all lines. It was a source of pleasure for him to look into the faces of the brave men, who had worked hard to make better homes, better farms, better churches, better schools, better boys and girls, better men and women, better citizens. A Pythian Lodge was opened in keeping with the Pythian ritual and then followed the opening of the Grand Lodge. The prayer of Dr. J. R. Ransom was indeed a feature, for the noted divine not only prayed for the President of the United States, the Governor of Kansas, Mayor of Parsons, federal, county and state officials, the Supreme Chancellor, the Grand Chancellor, the Knights throughout the world, but he petitioned the Throne for the abolition of peonage, mob violence, lynching and for law and order throughout the United States. This servant prayer brought forth amens from many throats. Perhaps no time in the history of the Grand Lodge were there so many professional men present. A committee on credentials was appointed, consisting of L. A. Story, Eugene Neely and H. A. Graves. After some other preliminary business transaction the grand lodge was at ease for a few minutes to receive a commission from the grand court. The commission bore an invitation to the grand lodge to come into the grand court in a body. This was accepted, and a program was rendered. Grand Lodge Officers, and representatives, presented in a body by Grand Worthy Counselor Mrs. Norene Davis; select reading by Mrs. Gertrude Weaver; song, "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?" led by Mrs. L. A. Wilson, of Kansas City; Plea for Calanthe, Mrs. Bettie Lee and address by Mrs. Norene Davis. In words of eloquence she - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 paid a tribute to the brave Knights, who had ever stood by the Grand Court, who had contributed much to their success. She spoke of the big brother, Dr. S. H. Thompson, whose ear had always been open to the Calanthean cry, making it possible for the order to get out of debt and have a nice balance on hand at this time. "Side by side," she said, "we have gone in this great work. You have recognized us as your helpmate, and this is as it should be. We are your sisters, wives, daughters and mothers. Your success is our success, and if you fail we fail, hence we are working together." Concluding her address, Mrs. Davis called to the altar Dr. S. H. Thompson, and in the name of the Calanthe Grand Court, presented him with a gold Pythian ring. This scene was greeted with an ovation, and for a few minutes Dr. Thompson was speechless. He declared that it was a complete surprise, but soon had himself together and delivered an able response, accepting the token, and assured the sisters that he had only tried to do his duty. Short addresses were delivered by Charles Stewart, of Chicago; Dr. D. A. Holmes, Dr. J. R. Ransom, Rev T. W. Green, Jr., D.D., Rev L. A. Story, and Judge I. F. Bradley. Grand Court of Calanthe The Grand Court had its opening session, opening in local court and then grand court. Mrs. Norene Davis was proud to see sq many representatives present, speaking of the past successful year, and predicted a great future for the order. "We come to review the work of the past year," she said, "for it has been a year full of sunshine and clouds, but we are still alive to see each others faces, and to tell the story of Jesus and His love. We are glad to be here, and let us turn attention to our work." Mrs. Annie B. Reed made the opening prayer, and followed the appointment of committee on credentials consisting of Mrs. B. F. Garrett, Mrs. M. M. Drumgould, and Mrs. Eddie K. Bowers. Several other committees were appointed, including one to invite the Grand Lodge to visit the Grand Court in a body. Shortly after all business was suspended to receive the Grand Court. In the afternoon both officials delivered their annual messages to the bodies, Dr. Thomson to the Grand Lodge, and Mrs. Davis to the Grand Court. Committees were appointed. Reception Monday Evening The social feature of the day was the reception at Brown's Chapel A. M. E. church, Tuesday evening. W. N. Williams acted as master of ceremonies, and he was right at home. Music was furnished by the choir of Brown's Chapel, which ranks with the best in the state. Mavor Alfred Coad delivered an address of welcome to the city, which was responded to by Rev. D. A. Holmes, then followed solo by Mrs. Josephine Wright, of Topeka, one of the most noted singers of the country. Her place was won through Europe and America, and music lovers always welcome her. She was enced, and both selections were well rendered. Welcome on behalf of the Knights of Pythias lodge, Sir S. O. Clayton; response Attorney John Clark, of Lawrence; welcome behalf of Golden Leaf Court No. 18, Mrs. Gertrude F. Warner, response by Mrs. E. Knight Bowers, of Wichita. The audience was given another rare treat by Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Brown in whose voices there are fame and fortune; reading, Prof. Freeman, "The Party." At this point the audience was wafted into dreamland, so to speak, by a solo from Miss Bessie Eads, in whose voice lies a fortune. CITY She is a young woman, a graduate from Western University, and is now taking special voice training in San Francisco, Cal. She is at home on a vacation, and will return in a few days.

Thanking you in advance. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Parsons, Kans.—All Pythian eyes are now turned toward Kansas, and the Baptist eyes toward Chicago, for they are the next great events to take place, and the eyes of the business men are turned toward Atlanta, Ga., for there is where the National Negro Business League is to meet and all in a short time, but I must not forget to say that the doctors are to meet in oLuisville, Kentucky. Which one will you attend? You see I have been associated with the Pythians for a little while, for I was in Savannah, Ga., and had a great big time there, and when I got through with them I went to Wilmington, N. C., and from there to this place, and all these places I have been seeing the Pythians meet and transact business, and get away. Between North Carolina and this point, I stopped over in Chicago as I told you before and heard Dr. G. C. Hall, that wonderful physician and surgeon to listen to the bugs, and hear what they were saying. He was glad to be able to report that he was killing them out, and sent me to Thompson & Turner, dispensing pharmacists on Thirty-seventh street, to get some bug killer. These young men know their business and they have one busy drug store, for which I am real proud. I started in to taking that bug killer at once, but Dr. Hall gives me such little at the time until I can hardly see it. Well, I just took and took it, 15 drops at the time and only four times a day. I can't see how a doctor can expect such little medicine to kill bugs, but he knows his business, and I will not question it. Off from Chicago Sunday night to St. Louis, and found Prof. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone at the stable with their automobile car carriage to meet me. I tell you it made my head swell real big to find them there themselves to receive me and make me welcome. Two young men escorted me to the carriage automobile car. Soon I was at Poro college, and into the devotionals, and heard a speech, and then into breakfast. Well, this was over and I exchanged a few words with Prof. Malone, and went out to see some other friends, returning in time for lunch. I had to write to satisfy myself "Prof. Adron E. Malone, A. M." and this was the result of his visit to Wilberforce last commencement. I heard Mrs. Malone talk about the amount of gas it took to run the automobile cars carriages. I did not know this before and when you hear her talk about cost you may know that things are going some. She is a great business woman, and knows something about the cost of things. You must keep an eye on the cost if you make headway. Little things count. The day was spent in St. Louis, and at night I loaded myself on the M. K. & T. for this place, taking a bed car. Believe me, honey, I have been, riding in bed cars lately. Well, I got up when we reached Fort Scott, Kansas, and made my toilet, or in other words, put on my clothes, and by the time this was oevr I was in Parsons, Kansas. Dr. T. W. Green was right there at the M. K. & T. stable with his automobile car Number 52 carriage to tote me to his home for while in Wilberforce commencement he invited me to stop with him. Rev. T. W. Green, Jr., is one of the leading young ministers in the Kansas conference. The Lord laid his hands on him when he was just pulling in money as a blacksmith, but he had to lay aside money making and go to soul-seeking. Right by his side his congenial wife is to be found, and the Lord has blessed their union with a son and daughter, Thomas, about 13, and Bessie, about 10. It is a happy family. Mrs. Green met me with a smile, and as she shook my lily black hand said: "We welcome you to our home, Colonel Midnight." The boy and girl smiled at me, also. Rev. Green has been here seven years and may have to play checkers this fall, and that is, move or jump, get blown for not jumping. Now for the grand lodge. I met Editor Kennedy, and he told me that he was going to have his reporter to write up the grand lodge, hence there is nothing for me to say about it as such, but there are some, things I must talk about. Them Pythians did make some impression in this town. They made and made it until I was proud of them, and then I met some talent there. The Parsons Daily Republican had the following to say about them in their editorial column: "WE HAVE WITH US." "This week Parsons has had within her borders the representative colored men and women of Kansas. "There is much for thoughtful people in this gathering of the intelligence of a race long identified with American history, but only recently, as time is counted in history, given share in citizenship and chance for education and development." "If the matter is considered soberly there has been marvelous progress made by the people of this race in our country since the chance to make progress was given them. One cannot look upon the delegates to this convention without being struck by the intelligence shown in their countenances, the quiet, orderly manner in which they bear themselves, the earnestness they display, the enthusiasm in their conferences, their evident desire to be worthwhile citizens. "The addresses and the informal discussions have shown education, thought, seriousness, loyalty to American ideals and American government. The appeals have been to make most of the privileges in citizenship, to become owners of homes, to be cheerful payers of taxes, to be observers and defenders of the law. In the talks there have been fervid expressions of devotion to the flag, expressions which were lived so bravely and truly by the black men of our land who served overseas. There was the urging of self reliance the purpose of frown upon any of their race who offend against society and the law of the land. "The intelligent, religious God fearing Negroes, and many of them are in Parsons this week, desire above all things that the race be judged not by the ignorant and degraded of their kind (Concluded on Third Page) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop.

The Kansas City Advocate for August 5, 1921 4 4 4 4 The Mirage A man from darkest Kansas went to Kansas City, Mo., and was invited by an acquaintance to have a drink. In the saloon the friend asked: "What are you going to have?" "Have?" dreamily returned the visitor, blinking at the glorious array of barreled and bottled camouflaged under the various Volsteadic names. "I ain't going to have nuth'n." "What do you mean, Gabe? You wan't have a drink after coming al lthis distance?" "Noe!" answered the Kansan.\."There ain't no such place as this. I'll wape up in a minute." The doors of a certain new house had shrunk horribly, as is the way of a modern door made of unseasoned wood. The builder would not send the joiner to repair them, so the house-holder tried the ironical method and wrote: "Dear Sir: The mice can run under most of our doors, but our can cannot follow them. Will you please send a man at once to make room under the doors for the cat, and much oblige?" Didn't Count Some doughboys were sitting around the camp fire swapping experiences. Each in turn recounted some hair-raising accident in which he had figured. Finally it came the turn of a chap who had traveled all over the world. They waited breathlessly for his yarn, but he declared he had nothing to tell. "Haven't you ever had an accident?" they chorused in amazement. "Accident? No." "Never had anything happen to you?" "Oh, a rattler bit me!" "Don't you call that an accident?" "Hell, no; the thing bit me on purpose." English as it is Slepped If you and I and ewe and eye And you are aye (dear me!) were all to be spelled u and i. How mixed up we would be! They Don't Mix "No, Herbert," she said in a low tone, "it is impossible. I fear to trust my future with you." "And why?" "I have watched your conduct closely. It lacks the mark of devotion as my soul craves." "Do I not come to see you four nights in the week?" "Yes, but I have detecte da calculating selfishness in your nature which I fear." "What do you mean?" "You have never yet failed to leave in time to catch the last car." "But that is only common sense." "I know it is. Herebrt, and therefore it is not love." A Fine Inheritance A man in Ohio had a strong civic pride, and when he died he left all he had to the city. All he had was a wife and nine children. 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. A little girl responded: "Let's have the one about America, where the fathers all took pills and died." The words of the song were: "Land where my fathers died; land of the Pilgrim's pride." Life as I See It "As I left the house this morning I, said to myself: 'Nothing can hurt me today. I am cantain of my soul.' "Then I slipped on a banana peel." The Hunger for Comedy "Why don't you put a little humor into your remarks?" "It tried it once," replied Sonator Sorghum. "It almost ruined me.

And they are entitled to be so judged for, more and more, in every state and in every community, the Negroes are becoming more intelligent, better educated, have greater capacity for business, and professions, are becoming more self supporting and are contributing in many ways to the progress in all directions. "It is but fair to the Negro race be accorded the degree of credit which it has so far won and that the judgment of good citizens as extended to the black man should be tempered with the thought that this race has come out of great tribulation to the place it now occupies in national life. Have you ever met Dr. S. H. Thompson, the Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Kansas? He is one more big man, and a man of ability and worth. He is one of the best physicians in this country, and he is another man who knows how to kill bugs. I was with him and heard his wonderful address. He is a recognized leader of men. I was proud to come in touch with him, and right there with the ability goods was to be found Mrs. Norene Davis, of Kansas City, Kansas. Grand Worthy Counsellir of Kansas, and honey, let me tell you she is in the hearts of them women. Well, she is a winner of friends and in my opinion God just born her here to lead women. She had a wonderful address, and I am going to tell you in another letter some of the things. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with that great master mind, lawyer and scholar, I. F. Bradley, of Kansas City, Kans., and if you know him you know a real man. He is the father of his son and daughter, and his wife is just one of them cultured women of our race, and you may know what to expect of the two mentioned children. Wonderful how we are making progress. There was Mrs. Josephine Wright, of Topeka, and I believe that when she gets to heaven she will be one of the singers up there. She has a beautiful voice. She has made this country and Europe take notice, and she left off to become the wife of that great business man, that man who held the position of treasurer of Topeka, Hon John Wright. They are dwelling together in happiness in their palatial home in Topeka. I heard her sing-one more solo. I had to take off my hat to Miss Bessie Eads, who is one of the finest singers in this country. A young woman, who came into the world via the Texas route, and then into Oklahoma, for the foundation of an education. She graduated from Langston University, and next from Western University, Quindaro, Kansas. Her home is now in the city of Parsons, and is now taking on additional music training in Southern University, Los Angeles, Cal. Her voice will just charm you. I thank God for the talent we have. Miss Eads is going to give some recitals before she returns to California. I told you about meeting Mrs. T. W. Green. She is a native of Sandwich, Illinois. Not ham, but just plain Sandwich, and there is where she got the foundation of her education, in Denver, Colo., and taught in and got some more foundation that same place for five years and retired to take charge of a kindergarten which she helped to make. Her pupils were Thomas and Bessie. She is a trained woman. Now, get ready for the Supreme Lodge in Topeka, August 14, They are going to be there from everywhere. I am taking collection right now to get me a new suit and have money enough to pay my board. General Thomas Kennedy says if I can get me a uniform suit, he will put me on his staff, and I am going to try to get it, and then I will ride a horse. I am sure there can be arrangements made to get me a horse back. I have an invitation from my friend, Dennis Thompson, to come out and spend a few days with himself and his wife. I am trying to get money enough to go there. I will be down in Alabama next week. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

Page Four. MAJOR GENERAL Commander in Chief METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES According to the promise of Dr. J. C. Mitchell, he delivered sermons at 11 A. M. and 8 P. M. upon which you could feast a week or more. To the large morning congregation he preach on "The Master is here, and calls you to service." It was so impressive that more cried out and shouted for joy. At 8 P. M., to another large audience, he preached on "The True Light is Jesus." He said Christians must serve God to get glory. Serve by living a true Christian life, or by spiritual singing, by prayer or by visiting the sick; not in the name of a lodge, but in the name of God." He raises up Christ in all of his sermons and tells of his death and resurrection to save sinful men; and that is why he sways his hearers in such a spiritual manner. He understands and teaches astronomy, physiology and mathematics in a Biblical way. He says, "The reason some men don't let the glory of God shine out, is because there is no true light in them." Some joined the church. Also at 8 P.M., Prof. Ford sang two selections. One on "Heaven" was his composition. He enunciated clearly and sang impressively, and many sanctioned his singing with "amens." He and Dr. Mitchell have been called to Pittsburgh, Pa., and other large cities to preach and sing the Gospel. God bless these men in their evangelistic efforts. Rev. Walker and Rev.Holly were also in the pulpit and Deacons Hulsey, Thomas, Taylor, McCombs, Jennings and S. L. Jennings and Ford acted hosts for the church members. A large collection was taken and an enjoyable spiritual day was spent. Next Sunday, August 7, a great northern light is scheduled to preach; come out and see who it is. All are welcome; make yourselves at home at this, the most convenient and most beautiful House of God. Sermons and sacrament will be in order. Prayer meetings are fine at Metropolitan. They also have had preaching twice in succession. Church meeting this Friday night, August 4. Mr. H. R. Stines, one of the old and well known barbers of this city, who has been visiting his people in Edwards, Miss., for several months, arrived home, 439 Walker avenue, Tuesday.
