--- KANSAS ALL-STAR CAST OF PERFORMERS Volume VIII When Men Kill Another and Cook Him Without Eating Him, Is It Civilization or Savagery? Hot Springs, Ark. — Well, I have on my praying shoes this week, and almost every spare moment I am on my knees talking to our Father, and I think you. would be if you were where I am this week, and I am working hard to keep my mouth from jumping out of my heart. Every time I come to Hot Springs, I feel that I am just a little nearer to Hades, and so close that the devil heats the water down here and it comes out of the ground. You cannot realize the condition of humanity, and the result of a "good time" until you come to this place. People come here to dump their sins, and that hell water is the thing which helps them to get rid of all kinds of rheumatism, aches and pains. Here is where they bring them to the devil in prayer, and perhaps it is a good thing to do—in fact I know it is, for if you are sick and making a trip to just near hades will get you well then you just go, but don't get close enough to let the fire burn you again. I am here this week attending the Baptist State convention as I told you I would be, and I am just as happy as can be under heat prevailing circumstances. The convention has been a large one, and was presided over by Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., the leader of the Baptists in America, and who, because he is sane and safe has held together the greatest religious organization in the world, the National Baptist Convention, and he continues to hold it down, and those who went off are returning to the fold. Attorney William Henry Harrison, the speaker ond leader, has returned, and he is going to attend the next session, and we are looking for Dr. C. H. Clark, D.D., and others of his type to return, and then—well Dr. A.M. Townsend early next year is going to break ground for the new publishing house, and that will spell something. The Baptists from all over the country are pouring in contributions for that purpose and I don't blame them, for we are going to have something. Dr. E. W. Perry, from Oklahoma, is here, and he is not here for sickness, although he came to town sick, but was soon made better. He is here for treatment of the Gospel. That is to say, he came here to visit the convention, and the guest of the Baptists of Arkansas. I wish you could have sen how they received that tall yaller man, just like they were receiving the president of the United States or the governor of the state. He is president of a young convention in a young state, but believe me he is inspiring them people to do some work. It may cost him his health, for he is working night and day, and you will recall how I told you about him shaking the shimmy, and getting off the puppy's tail and walking the dog, and all but doing the bunny hug at his convention last month, and how he inspired the brothers and sisters there to work. He is just a leader of men. I am in town and believe me, I was given a reception by the pastor of the Baptist church here, the Rev. J. T. Hill, and he is one of the greatest preachers -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 in the country, and a man of great ability. Dr. Hill has a distinction, that but few of us have in this country, and that is he is invited up in Canada every summer by the white people and is in charge of a large church, the Knox Presbyterian church in Toronto. Now what do you think of that? New thing under the sun. A Baptist preacher pastor of a Presbyterian church for over a month, and believe me honey, they paid him well for his service, and these same white folks helped to get the Rcanoke Baptist church out of debt. Let us all rejoice and praise the Lord to the highest. Rev. Hill is a polished trained minister, and in his favor is that wonderful voice. He is one of the greatest bass singers in America and I say nothing about race or color, and in addition to this he is a great preacher. I got my assignment, and went on my way rejoicing, but I have been made to feel right happy since I have been here. Have you ever met John L. Webb? If not, I would like to have you meet him, for he is one of the men who is holding up this race of ours and a man we are shouting over, because he is doing things. I don't know exactly what time of day or night that he entered this world down at Tuskegee, Ala., and the place where he was born is now a part of the campus of Tuskegee Institute. He is a graduate from that institution under the late Booker T. Washington, hence you may see that he is a man well trained, and it is not surprising that he should be a business genius. He was not born a genius, but he used his opportunities, and that has pushed him to the top. Step by step, keeping before him industry, honesty and reliability, he has gone up step by step. When he got his finishing touch at Tuskegee, then he was made foreman of the carpenters' division of the institution, and while serving superintended the erection of some of the best buildings there now. Launching out as a contractor, he located in Mississippi and you take my word for it he was a success. He erected many buildings in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Then he saved his money, invested wisely. It was in 1912 that he was invited by the late L. J. Winston, attorney at law, and one of the greatest the race has given to the world, to take charge of one of the departments of the Woodmen of Union, a fraternal organization operating then exclusively in Mississippi. He had faith in his own ability, and in his people to take hold of a good fraternal organization, hence the income of the whole business for the first year averaged $62 a month, and I just looked at the books in the office for October and the receipts for that month amounted to over $300,000. But what about all of this money? How is it being used? It is being used to bless humanity, and within a few days you will all agree with me. They are now erecting a building that when completed will cost half a million dollars. It will be a place where the suffering may go, for it will have a fully equipped hospital with well trained physicians and nurses; there will be the baths, from this water I have been telling you about, I think I would call it hell water with its wonderful cures, and experienced attendants. It will be the finest thing in the country for our people, and you will find where you will be treated like human beings should be treated. It is, going to make the Pythian bath get a move on itself, and we will all be indebted to John L. Webb, the wonder. I am informed that the bath house will be ..Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, December 2, 1921.. WITH THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF THE RACE IN KANSAS CITY In this column we will endeavor to give a review of the business interests of our race from time to time. It is obviously impossible to print all of this matter in one issue, so if your name is not here now, it will appear later. CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, RIUM THEATRE, NINE SPICES OF ALLAH T WITH THE BUSINESS IN THE RACE IN KA In this column we will endeavor to business interests of our race It is obviously impossible to matter in one issue, so if not here now, it will ap Mr. Bennie Robinson, one of the city's well known citizens, who owns and lives in a beautiful home at the corner of Greeley avenue and Third street, has not only just been satisfied with a home, but has quitely accumulated other real estate. At 1933 North Third Mr. Robinson owns a 75-foot frontage, with a two-story business building occupying 50 feet, with three business rooms, where a barber shop, restaurant and pool hall is found. On the other lot a nice cottage residence is found, all furnished, where his help lives, without any cost to them. Mr. Robinson is planning to erect in the spring a $25,000 brick business building on these three lots which, when finished, will be one of the most modern and finest business buildings of color in the city. Among the successful business men on Third street is Mr. W. C. Carroll, 2120 North Third street. Mr. Carroll has been in the grocery business on this corner open January 1, about, and soon the hospital will follow. In the office of the secretary, I found 25 young people at work, using typewriters, writing in big books, and some kind of a round thing printing letters, and the Lord alone will be able to tell all the things I saw, and it is due to the $12.70 paid into the Woodmen of Union by the thousands of our people, who are well protected. They are paid to get sick, or to get hurt and they are paid $500 to die, and in addition to this $40 to go on putting you away. I shall have more to say about it later. I have been hearing talk about civilization and civilization for a long time, and I am asking myself what it is? I am told that the white men of America has the highest civilization, the highest culture, and that he leads the world, and if it were not for the love I have for Jesus Christ, I think I would want to try something else. I am not going to comment just now, but I would like to know: Is breaking down jails, violating the law which is made by the white man, executed by the white man, construed by the white man, kept by the white man civilization? Is taking from the jail a helpless prisoner without giving him a chance to prove his innocence and hanging him without trial civilization? Is shooting to death by a mob of five hundred men, a black man and then cook his body without eating it civilization? Is playing on the poverty and ignorance of colored women, debauching them and bringing into the word thousands of nameless children civilization? Now perhaps time or eternity will answer the questions. Of course you heard about them burning a man after they had shot him to death in Helena. Ark.. just a few days ago, and after the deed was through they went in front of the Baptist church where our people were at prayer and shot off their guns, also in front of the home of Dr. E. C. Morris. My people did not respond, but continued to talk to God, and I believe that God will hear their prayers. They were ready then for a wholesale murder, and then like Elaine arrest, try ADVOCATE for a number of years, and while starting, like many others with a small capital, but with his keen business acumen and economic buying his business has grown in the last few years that any merchant would be proud to have. He has a large commodious room, with a full stock of as clean and fresh goods that is seen in the city. Everything can be found in this store that is kept in any first-class grocery. In connection with this store is a fresh meat market of the choicest meats on the market. The people in this neighborhood, practically all being colored, are proud of this store, and admire Mr. Carroll for the success he has had. During the summer months Mr. Carroll has a fine trade at his soda fountain, which is a paying business, besides it adds to the looks of his clean and sanitary room. This store is a credit to this part of the city. Also to the race. Let us have a few more Carrols in other parts of the city. and convict Negroes, but say nothing to the white men I will bet you my head to a ginger snap, that there will not be a white man arrested, nor will the grand jury say anything about this. Let us watch and see. I thank God that He has sent down to help to keep the water hot here the man who shot to death the Johnston boys. I am going to enjoy some of the hot water which he is furnishing now. Throw away your guns, put up your bludgeons, young men of my race and let us get just a little closer to Jesus. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. · "WHO IS WHO?" In our "ins and outs" this week to various business and professional places our optics were attracted to a neatly and handsomely red-covered book. When our eyes glanced across the top of the front cover, we read these words: "Who Is Who" in Kansas City. In opening it we first observed a splendid likeness of its editor and publisher, Mr. Junius J. N. Gray, owner and manager of the Gray Printng Co., 1418 North Fifth street. In furthering our interest in "Who's Who," we found it to be a reference directory and year book of sixty-eight pages, elegantly and artistically arranged giving our civic,businessprofessional, educational, church and social life of our racial group in Kansas City, Kansas; also a number of pages devoted to business enterprises. The publishers are to be congratulated in producing such a book and whose pages ought to be an inspiration and encouraging to any race thinking man. Every family of the race in the city, should have one of these books. The editor called Wednesday to see Rev. E. L. Harrison, the new pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Temple, who went under a serious operation for appendicitis about ten days ago, and was released Monday by his physician, Dr. Blount. We were greatly pleased to find our new friend and citizen much improved and in good spirits. We also had the pleasure of meeting the doctor's good wife, Mrs. Harrison, and their three bright children. Bell Phone Fairfax 0767 GEORGE H. BROWN & CO. Real Estate and Rentals.

Wednesday, prayer meeting, 7:30 P. M. Friday class meeting 8 P. M. CHURCH NEWS First Church had its usual large morning congregation Sunday, November 27. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, filled his pulpit and preached his first of a special series of sermons, which will close about the holidays. The sermon Sunday morning was a remarkable one from every angle of Christian living. It was also powerful in thought, logic and eloquence. Those who miss these series of sermons, will miss a most helpful course of intellectual uplifting sermons. The pulpit was filled Sunday evening by one of the church's young, strong Gospel ministers, Rev. O. H. Burbridge, pastor of the A. M. E. church of Salina, Kansas. It was a sermon of thought and spiritual fervency and delivered with wonderful power. It was greatly enjoyed. The Sabbath school is filled every Sunday morning with eager children and grownups, who, under their able superintendent and efficient teachers discuss the lesson with great interest. The orchestra gives life and encouragement to the school with their excellent music. The teachers and officers are preparing for one of the finest Christmas programs that has been rendered for years, including a big Christmas tree. The Junior Endeavor League, that meets every Sunday evening at 5:30, is one of the most interesting ever seen anywhere, and probably the largest in attendance that could be found in the west—this is due to the interest taken in it by a few of the faithful, hardworking women at its head. They have something new every Sunday evening to entertain the children, besides their solendid orchestra. Last Sunday evening Mr. Jackson Truitt of Western University, the great baritone, sang a solo. The Senior League meets every Sunday at 6 p. m., but this meeting is not attended as well as it should be. The class meetings Friday night are being well attended, when glorious times are being had in the name of the Lord. The Senior Choir have changed their meeting nights for rehearsal to Friday night. You are ever welcome to any or all of these services. May we have the pleasure of meeting you Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service. Come early for good seats. Argentine, Kansas St. Paul A. M.

We expect to show column after column and page after page of great and small bread-winning business places, owned and operated by Negroes of this city.

By taking palms, one can begin being old at 50. If one is incompetent, can he learn competency? A contested will is one sort of hand-me-down suit. Avoid extremes—a man can go crazy even on religion. Why aren't stenographers' notes figures of speech? Moral lectures do not alter the practice of profiteering. There is always room for one more oyster in the soup. If might doesn't always make right, it seldom gets left. All that glitters can't be measured by the golden rule. One of the least understood things in the world is money. The man who looks straight ahead misses a lot on the side. If you have discovered something worth while—pass it on. For feathering the nest naturally the best thing is cash down. Art is superior to nature in many instances; but never in a landscape. Economy is near to the keystone of character and success.—Gladstone. Many a man is given credit for being a hustler when he is only nervous. A person of spirit hates to be anybody's idol. It involves too much posing. If a man is a "cheerful cuss" it doesn't matter much unless he is helpful. One may have his own way if he doesn't make his way too amply inclusive. A sentimental man grieves $10 worth over every dollar he has misinvested. With $500 worth of new clothes one thinks one can face hard times, undismayed.

When he and his wife set off last month for a holiday in Switzerland they took their maid with them. She was much envied by the other girls of the village, and when she got back one of her friends asked: "Well, Gladys, what did you think of Switzerland?" "Not much," was the answer. "I couldn't really see what the country was like. The mountains got in the way!" Business Methods When the agent brought Mrs. Tarley her fire insurance policy he remarked that it would be well for her to make her first payment at once. "How much will it be?" she asked. "About $100. Wait a minute and I'll find the exact amount." "Oh, how tiresome!" she exclaimed.

He was the most down-and-out looking specimen of a tramp who had applied at the back door of this particular farmhouse for many a year. The housewife viewed him with disgust. "My goodness!" she exclaimed. "I don't believe you've washed yourself for a year." "Just about that," agreed the hobo. "You see, I only washes before I eats." Speaking His Mind "Is it true that America is the land of opportunity?" "There is no doubt of it," replied the disgruntled citizen "I don't know of another country on the face of the earth where a man has greater opportunity to make a fool of himself in politics."—Birmingham-Age-Herald. CITIZENS' FORUM The Forum met as usual Sunday, November 27, at Metropolitan Temple. President Curry presided. Prof. Hodge suggested that Prof. Buster lead in current events, which he did very intelligently. Rev. O. Calhoun led the opening choruses. Mrs. Stevens of Kansas City, Mo., sang the "Rosary" very sweetly and was encored. Mr. Orrin Murray played a pretty cornet solo. Then came the main feature of the evening, the address, "Two Forms of Government," by Hon. H. M. Beardsley, who said, "The United States form of government is the nearest to an ideal of a government pleasing to God, i.e., every man and woman born should have the highest opportunity regardless of race, color, or creed." He said, "he believed in the government outlined by Abraham Lincoln." "The greatest danger in this government is selfishness and ignorance. If men could only show true Christianity and not be selfish and try to oppress others all would be well. It was a fine speech of Christianity and brotherhood. Prof. Neely asked him: "Could he, if in the oppressed people's place, be loyal?" and he said: "It takes time to do away with men's selfishness and we must bear and forbear." Prof. Buster and F. P. Knapper took sides with the speaker, and advocated his kindness. Assessor Bird talked, also Attorney Henderson. Ex-Mayor Beardsley said: "When he was mayor of Kansas City, Mo., he sent Mr. Nelson Crews' name to the council three times until they confirmed him as a clerk." The writer thinks that did fine as that is a job for about two years at a large salary a month. That is more than just one or two months' work. Those who do not believe in inviting our Caucasian friends, then embarrassing them, gave Mr. Beardsley great applause and the Forum and president thanked him.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The congregation at Metropolitan enjoyed listening to Dr. Terrell, dean of the Baptist College in Kansas City, Mo., as he delivered his sermons Sunday. At the morning service some joined the church. At 2 P. M., the funeral of Mr. Williams was held, and the Rev. Mrs. Davis preached. The night service was good, also. Deacons Johnson, Taylor. Oliver, Thomas, Hulsey and McCombs were present. Also trustees L. V. Brown, Dyson and others. On Thanksgiving day about $60 was taken as a collection and many more gave $1 each on this Sunday, November 27. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are increasing weekly. The Mission Circle made a special Thanksgiving offering and the president carried it to several needy persons. Miss Ethel Bowmer will give a song recital for the choir Friday evening, December 9. for only 25 cents. Dr. E. L. Harrison, our new pastor, is home from the hospital, and we expect him to be at church next Sunday, December 4, and as it will not be advisable for him to preach soon, the dean of Kansas City, Mo., will preach. So come out and hear God's Word and help worship the Lord. Come Sunday, December 4, and bring your friends to hear Dr. Terrell, dean of the Baptist college, who is a great preacher. He will preach morning and night. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts at 931 Nebraska, entertained their Masonic Court Thanksgiving eve, and Mesdames Clark and M. C. Matthews, and their mother on Sunday eve. After fine refreshments they gave all guests favors, of small baskets of candy containing a tiny doll. Kansas City, Kansas. F. & A. A.
