H. CLAYBORNE, PROP. DR. LEMMA, ON HIS ROUNDS, IS WELL PLEASED Finds Masonic Conditions Excellent in the Kansas Portion of the Jurisdiction. To The Advocate: I am very sorry that I didn't have time to call at your office but I was very busy and could not make the connection. I have been very busy since leaving your city Wednesday morning. I stopped in Lawrence Wednesday night and was beautifully entertained by the craft there. I arrived there at 1 p.m. on the interurban line and went at once to Brother Jackson's beautiful tonsorial parlor on Massachusetts street, and was taken from there to the W. M. home on Locust street, in North Lawrence. My arrival was unexpected, but they proved that they were true craftsmen, they rallied to the occasion and to my surprise that night at the hall there was a wonderful crowd out for me to talk to, and outline the beauties, virtues of Masonry and they displayed such deep interest. The Heroines of Jericho served after the lecture and the service was beautiful, and everyone was unlimited in their expressions of gratitude for my being in their midst, and I could not find words in my limited vocabulary to express myself for the surprise that greeted me, the craft is in wonderful healthy condition there and the Heroines of Jericho—well their beauty is indescribable. I reluctantly left the confines of their city the next day at noon after visiting the seat of knowledge of the state with Brother Harvey, who was kind enough to take me around in his beautiful car. I also visited several sick sisters of the Court that morning. The Worshipful Master and his congenial wife are in the rug manufacturing business and presented your humble servant with a porch pillow and rug in token of their appreciation for his coming. The Worshipful Master and his lovely wife, Mrs. Stone, are sublime and worth knowing. I arrived in Topeka at 1 p.m. over the Santa Fe and went direct to Mrs. Buffington's lovely home on College street and she at once got in touch with the W. M., Rev. Dickerson of the craft and the senior warden and the M. A. M. of the Heroines of Jericho and that night in the beautiful palatial home of our W. M., Rev. Dickerson, another of Masonry's efficiency was portrayed by a wonderful audience being present. I proceeded to give them a brief travalogue through the history of Masonry from the time of the beginnig up to the present day, and they were unlimited in their expressions of gratitude for the information. GROCERY STANDARD FRESH A Our Fresh Meat Nothing But the of M Service A -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 I then spent the night at the home of the W. M. and got up next morning and caught the train for the city of Atchison and the home of the Most Worthy Grand Secretary. Brother Clyde L. Briggs, on T street. I arrived at 10 a.m. over the Santa Fe, and after a good test the efficient W. M., Brother Clarence Kerford, called at the residence of Brother Briggs in his runabout and took your humble servant over to the home of Rev. Grundy and after a very pleasant visit with that ecclesiastical gentleman who is an active member of the craft, he proceeded to take me out to view the grandest surprise that has ever greeted my eyes. His mammoth rock quarry and crusher system that furnishes crushed in all sizes to all parts of the country, to railroad companies and cities by the car load. Just think of it! It represents an investment of about a half million dollars. He has his own railroad spur in there and is shipping every day and the best part of it all, they hire all colored men whenever possible. It is too bad that we haven't got a colored steam shovel engineer in our own race. Then his wonderful combination would be complete. This magnificent plant is owned jointly by him and his two worthy brothers and they are all members of the craft. That night at the hall I had the pleasure of meeting the most congenial crowd that it was ever my pleasure to meet in life. There were public school teachers in evidence and business men representing every walk in life, all interested in the craft and its progress. After my address the Rev. Grundy was asked to respond and then the Most Ancient Matron, Mrs. William Young, very beautifully expressed the gratitude of the Court, and then the Most Worshipful Grand Secretary was presented, who gave some very helpful advice to th esisters and brothers of the craft. After which the M. W. M. expressed his gratitude and then after the closing of the joint session they served lunch, which all enjoyed. To say that I am pleased with the condition that I found relative to the crafts that I have visited is putting it very lightly. They are on the upward climb. It proves that the truth is more powerful than fiction. Our Grand Master cannot be too highly praised for the wonderful work that he has done in construction and bringing men and women to light. DR.

ANNUAL NEGRO FARMER CONFERENCE IS HELD Utica Institute, Miss., Feb. 5.—The Annual Negro Farmers' Conference was held here at Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, February 1st and 2nd. Although February 1st was a very rainy day, farmers came from all over the state; most of them having reached here the night before; so that despite the rain, they assembled and told their simple stories of their efforts to get ahead. Principal Holtzclaw was elected president of the conference for the eighteenth year and he delivered an address advising the farmers to become independent land owners as far as possible. He counseled temperance and progressiveness. He especially appealed to the farmers to make better homes for their wives and children, as they make progress in the purchasing of land. But perhaps the most touching part of his address was with reference to the relation between the races, in the presence of professsional men, business men and farmers, both white and colored, who were seated on the platform. He spoke out against lynching which he termed America's shame, and he declared that no country can continue to look the world in the face unless it can so manipulate its government that this vicious element of whatever race, can be controlled and directed. He declared that it is not the Negro on trial, but the white man, and that it is he who must answer before the bar of Almighty God, for the lives of those whose fate is, in a measure, entrusted to his care. Mr. W. L. King, one of our well known and well thought of citizens dropped in on us Tuesday after having been away for a number of weeks, coming in from Wichita, Kansas, where he is employed in the Pullman service Mr. King stands high in this community as a citizen and Christian gentleman. He is a carpenter and a splendid mechanic, having built a number of residences here. Mr. King made a call on the editor and wife before returning Tuesday night.

REAM TO SPEAK The Kansas City, Kansas, Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People feels elated over the fact that in the name of God and humanity the congressmen of the United States managed to pass the Dyer-antilynching bill. The status of the bill was discussed at our last regular meeting. Our Branch has watched earnestly the correlating facts and publicity of this bill and we feel grateful to ex-Secretary Johnson, now in Washington, D. C., for his strenuous efforts and unceasing watch over every move on the bill, using every possible means to thwart the efforts of its enemies to defeat it. Much credit is due to headquarters for the intense interest manifested. Funds are what they need now and never before have they called for financial aid as they are compelled to do now. The passage of the Dyer bill by the House of Representatives evidences the wisdom and efficiency of the methods of the Association and the necessity of co-operation from every citizen. If the passage of this bill were only to make it a federal offense to lynch men, the cause would be tremndously appaling, but it includes women, 53 lynched in the past 30 years. Horrible, and some times accompanied by atrocities and revolting orgies. It shows the guilt of participating in lynching their brothers in the eyes of the civilized world. We realize victory is not yet. The Dyer bill must be pushed through the Senate. We must not let up. In the name of the freedom of 12 million black people, we beg you to fight. February 17 a mass meeting to celebrate the memory of our great heroes, Lincoln and Douglass and we felt no more opportune time could be afforded to celebrate the accomplishment so far, towards making that bill a law, which marks the beginnig of the end of lynching as a national crime. Prof. J. P. King, our newly elected president for 1922, supervisor of night schools of Kansas City, Kansas, teacher in Sumner high, has accepted the presidency and will add much to the success of the work. President King is arranging a number of innovations for the spring campaign, through which he expects to grip your interest and hold it. Our entire complement of line officers for the annual spring drive will appear in the next issue. We are assured of a great awakening this year and hope to surpass our quota. Rev. J. Franklin Ream, efficient and eloquent pastor of Washington Boulevard M. E. church, will address the mass meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. February 17, at 8 o'clock, at Metropolitan Temple, Ninth street and Washington boulevard. SECRETARY. Mrs. Burdett, 835 New Jersey avenue, has been on the sick list, but is improving. Number 26. WRITE SENATORS ABOUT THE ANTI- LYNCHING BILL The Bill Has Passed the House—We Must See That it Passes the Senate. Memphis, Tenn.—Dr. E. C. Morris, who has been very sick, I am glad to report to you this week that he has improved, and is able to be out of bed but not able to preach to his people. We have all been praying for him, because he is a safe leader of this race of ours, and believe me when I tell you that he is not a hand-picked leader but step by step he has made his way to the hearts of his people, and he is a man who believes in the manhood rights of his people. When I tell you that Dr. Morhis has ben tested and did not falter, but stood up for his people, I know whereof I speak and I am telling you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God. He has been tried, never denied and is willing to be tried again. I would like to tell you a few things about him but will not do so this time. Let us all pray that his life will be spared for many years to come. I have been one more moving piece of furniture, and I don't mind you knowing about it. I will not be able to tell you all the going I have been doing since I wrote to you the last time. But I will just let you have a little of it, but even before that little perhaps I should ask you if you have sent a letter or telegram to your senator yet concerning the Dyer bill. It should pass by all means, and then President Warren G.Harding will affix his name and all will be well. While we were busy looking after the Dyer bill, then I am told it was that President Warren G. Harding slipped in one on us by appointing a white man, there listening to the prejudice section of our country. We can't stand under all this, and perhaps we may never understand some few things. But we must stick to the real party for a little longer, until the Democrats learn some real horse or mule sense, and then we may be able to line up with them. We want some Democrats of the Grover Cleveland type. But now let me consider my meanderings. When I took my pen in hand to write to you last week I was with Prof. H. C. Yerger and his teachers in Hope, Ark., and I told you how them young people entertained me just like I was some pumpkins. I was delighted to be the guest of them educators, and remained over all day Sunday, and left early Monday morning for Little Rock. I had the pleasure of meeting on the wagon, Dr. V. M. Townsend, and THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. Thos. Knapper Associate Editor MBS. M. C. MATTHEWS.

While the beautiful spring-like day brought some out in the balmy air, they finally found themselves in some church of their choice. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, the eminent preacher, spoke to twelve hundred of thinking men and women. His words of intellectual thought, backed up by the Holy Spirit from on high rolled through the vast audience with such a spiritual wave, it lifted them fairly off of their feet. It was a wonderful sermon. Thirteen joined the church. Dean Jones, assistant pastor, delivered the sermon at the evening service, to a most appreciative audience. A very full Sunday school were on hand at 9:30 some classes reporting a hundred per cent and others well up to wards the 100-mark. Love feast Friday night was largely attended and a wonderful outpouring of the spirit demonstrated his power among His people. Several hundred took communion at the close of the Sunday morning service. The pastor will start next Sunday on another series of sermons, which will run four weeks. These sermons are of much preparation, which will be on the "Prodigal Son." The first subject of the series, which will start this Sunday is "Father's Home." The date of the annual Knife and Fork banquet has been set for March 23. The speaker has not been decided upon yet, but it will be some noted man and probably the committee on speaker will spring a great surprise, when the name is announced to the public. A report came to First Church Monday night that a family in the city, had made application to a pastor and congregation of one of our neighbor churches for aid and stated they were members of First Church, but learning the facts, this family is not nor never has ben on First Church's membership vol book, besides the aid boards of First Church are helping some family or person every week and never ask those who need help as to what church or any society they belong to, but simply relieve their wants, in the best way possible. If you want good seats, you will have to come early to First church. You are welcome to the best. Argentine, Kansas St. Paul A. M. E. church, Kansas City, Kans. 2325 Ruby avenue. J. A.

They pray, quote verses read the scriptures and many other things suggested by our pastor with as much promptness and obedience as the grownups. Come out and help us encourage them. The officers and teachers of our Sunday school, knowing what is expected of them, meet once a week in a group to study their Sunday school lesson in order that they may be able to give a good wholesome explanation of the lesons to their respective classes. The attendance of the 11:30 services is always commendable and god wholesome preaching is always to be had. The subject of last Sunday's sermon was "Obedience." The text was "For your obedience has come down to all men. Romans XVI. 9th verse. Communion services were held immediately after this service. The subject, for the 8 p.m. services was "Come Down." The text was found in the XV:30 of St. Mark. 'Come down quickly and the I:10:II Kings. "Come down from the cross." Our community meeting last Sunday was in accord with our desires, that is, the succeeding Sunday always shows an improvement over the preceding Sunday. The quotations and current events were good in quality as well as in quantity. The community has something to read for now, and if you doubt me, come out next Sunday at 4:30 p. m. The center of attraction last Sunday was in the wonderful address given us by Prof. J. P. King, His subject was: "Not the Head but the Soul." The theme for his subject was: "Too many say religion but fail to practice it." The lesser lights here on earth attract our attention from the great Heavenly light." In conclusion he said: "Those who work with the head do a good work, but those who work with the soul do a greater work." Come out next Sunday, February 12, and hear Prof. S. D. Scruggs on some far reaching intellectual discourse, treated with his usual straightforward, simple and convincing way of feeding hungry listeners. All are welcome. G. MORGAN.

I wish to call the attention of all Worshipful Masters and members of the F. and A. A. York Masons of Kansas and Jurisdiction, that the 1920 Communication held at Manhattan, Kansas, that the Kansas City (Kansas) Advocate was adopted as our official organ. It was also unanimously carried in open session that all lodges in the jurisdiction were to subscribe for The Advocate, so at least the lodge might be informed from time to time of the general workings of the jurisdiction. Now, we understand a number of lodges throughout the jurisdiction has not complied with the ruling of this Grand Boly. We need this organ and its editor has ben giving us regularly a splendid service and plenty of it; so we must not and can not afford to allow ourselves to withhold our support to our only organ. Let every Worshipful Master see to it, at once, that their subscription is sent in for 1922. Send money order or express order of $1.50 to The Kansas City Advocate, 834 Nebraska avenue, Kansas City, Kansas, or to the editor, Thos Kennedy. Note: Also have as many of the members as possible to send in their subscriptions, as this publication is worthy of their patronage from a general news point, besides its worth to our jurisdiction. Send in your lodge news and it will be published. Yours for the Craft. J. A. Broadnax, W.M.G.M. EDWARDSVILLE, KANSAS Dear Editor: Enclosed please find my renewal of subscription and 30 cents for six extra copies of The Advocate. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to send this subscription and the 30 cents for the additional copies. We think that The Advocate is doing a great work in its advocation for the upbuilding of the religious, political and social life of our people in this community. We have longed to get The Advocate interested in teaching the members of our race who are making money to come into the suburban districts and buy small tracts of land, where they can make homes for themselves and leave a heritage for their children in the most prosperous and fast increasing district in price in the middle west. We are praying that you will give this some thought, so that once a month you will be able to tell your readers where they can buy land in Wyandotte county, small tracts of land in which they can make their homes and become independent and have a foundation for their children in the future. Come out and let us haul you around in our car and show you the beautiful places that are yet opened for our people to buy. Thanking you for the many past favors and hoping that you will ever strive to continue to build up both the city and the rural districts, we beg to remain.

SANTAL CAPSULES MIDY Easy to Take Quick to Relieve CATARRH of the BLADDER Safe, Successful Each Capsule bears name AT Beware of counterfeits Call Fair- 380 Or fax 4422 R. O. T. C. DIVISION AT WILBERFORCE Wilberforce, Ohio, Feb. 7. Word has been received by President J. A. Gregg of Wilberforce University from the Adjutant General's office that Senior and Junior divisions of the Officers Training Corps are to be established at the University, beginnig with the next school year. On assuming the presidency of Wilberforce, Mr. Gregg found that these divisions had been discontinued, although the Military Department, established in 1893 is still active, with Major J. E. Green, C. S. A., in command, assisted by Sergeants Andrews and Button, both of the regular army. Dr. Gregg began at once to plan for the re-establishment of the R. O. T. C. and at first was told by the War Department that it was impracticable. He then got in touch with President Harding and the senators and representatives from Ohio who lent their influence to the end that the following letter was received last week: January 14, 1922. From: The Adjutant General of the Army. To: The Comanding General, Fifth Corps Area, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, to the President, Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio. Subject: Application from Wilberforce University for authority to establish an R.O.T.C. unit. 1. Authority is given for the establishment of an Infantry Unit, senior division, in the college of Wilberforce University, and for a junior unit in the preparatory department of the University which, as to enrollment, will be governed by the regulations applying to institutions enumerated in paragraph 9 (c) of S. R. No. 44, Part 1, Reserve Officers' Training Corps. 2. The establishment of these units will take effect at the beginning of the next academic year. By Order of the Secretary of War: Adjutant General. This will mean much to the young men who attend Wilberforce next year, as the War Department furnishes uniforms and accoutrements besides the other emoluments which go along with the R. O. T. C. The young men of the university have received the news with enthusiasm, and it will mean much to others who have been hoping to attend college, but have not seen their way clear to doing so on account of the expense. FREMONT. NEB. The A. M. E. church, under the pastorate of Rev. J. W. Stapleton, is doing nicely and delivering splendid sermons. Prayer meetings are growing in interest and attendance. Mrs. N. S. Matts and children visited Rev. J. W. Stapleton and family on the South side last week. Josephine, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Watts, is much improved after her recent illness. The sick in our community are improving. Rev. Alva Royston is sick at his home. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the City Court 1st District, before D. C.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES There was a large congregation in the day and a still larger one at night, as they were also in the balcony. Dr. Harrison preached an excellent sermon from Exodus and showed the origin of the Lord's Supper in the Old Testament and its use in the New Testament. Our Sacrament comes from the Passover feasts celebrated before the coming of Christ. The Holy Spirit entered the temple and caused a great many to shout and praise God. Our pastor believes that Christian should praise the Lord as well as to shout and cheer for ball games and for politicians. He is right, we should cheer more for the One who can save us. Some united with the church then he administered the sacrament. "I Need Thee Every Hour," was beautifully sung by the hundreds of participants and the last and very appropriate hymn was about "Christ praying in the Garden of Gethsemane." At 8 p. m. a still larger congregation listened to another fine sermon. All of his sermons are spiritual, instructive and new. A collection of $20 was taken up for a destitute family. The church is still growing, some joined at Friday night's church meeting. Some members give names for the pastor to read to form or resurrent clubs. The Sunday's collection was over $126. Next Sunday, February 12, we know, our pastor will preach a fine sermon from the Bible, also speak incidentally of our former earthly friend, Abraham Lincoln. Come out and hear our great Gospel preacher, whom many say cannot be surpassed. When? Sunday. February 12. Where? At Metropolitan Temple, Ninth street and Washington boulevard. Mrs. Ida Wood, our organist, is taking a rest until March. Mrs. Allsbrook plays. CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum had a large instructive re-telling Sunday, February 5, at Metropolitan Temple. President Davis presided, and after music and Chaplain Holly's invocation, the program was announced. Mrs. Alice Browne gave as smooth an introduction for the lauy who rad the main paper as if it was memorized. She introduced Mrs. A. T. Jenkins of Kansas City, Mo., who read a sensible paper on "How the Female Sex Should Dress." She is opposed to short dresses, low necks and too thin waists. She thinks what is called the style of this age, is immodest. She was cheered greatly for the stand she took. A whistling solo by Rev. Alonzo Morgan was encored. A violin solo, by Mr. Baker, of Kansas City, Mo., was encored and the vocal solo by Mrs. Leila Jackson-Guest was also encored. Miss Tucker, the critic, said the program was excelent. Next Sunday, February 12, will be Women's day and twelve club presidents will give two minute talks; also there will be seven other numbers by the female sex. The principal feature of the program will be an address by Mrs. Childs, president of the State Federation of Art Clubs. Hear this remarkable woman. Excellent music will be rendered by Mrs. D. A. Holmes, Miss E. Neely and others. Come. Don't forget a quotation on our lamented friend, Abraham Lincoln, as Sunday is his birthday. RESOLUTION Ottawa, Kans., Feb. 8. Whereas; God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to remove from this field of labor our beloved Brother, Joe H. Davis, Thursday afternoon, 3:30 p. m., in Rosedale, Kansas, and Whereas, as Brother Joe H. Davis united with Olive Branch Lodge No. 33, F. & A. A. Y. Masons, and since that time has been a staunch pillar to the craft and ever faithful member, and Whereas, the loss of our dear brother has been keenly felt by our craft, but we feel the loss is Heaven's, gain. So be it resolved, that we, members of Olive Branch No. 33, F. & A.A.Y.

Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our craft and a copy sent to the bereaved family and a copy sent the Kansas City Advocate for publication. divisions of the city and county government are ready to send to the county clerk and county commissioners to be made into the tax rates for the various taxing districts. Now after the committees have been appointed by all the various organizations and have been amalgamated into one central body on rates and taxation this body will invite our officials to submit their respective D. W. GROSS, R. H. WILSON, W. M. GARRETT, Committee. Mr. C. G. Wilson, one of our prominent barbers and citizens, at 1609 North Tenth street, has been quite ill, but is now able to be up, but still very weak.

Mrs. Ed Lyles and Mrs. Dickerson, were the only women of the race to attend Kansas day banquet. These two race women are always found holding up the side of women's rights. Mr. H. R. Stines, 439 Walker avenue, who has been confined to the house with illness, says to tell his friends he is back on the job in his barber shop at this number, where he will be pleased to see them. Mr. C. R. Moore, 209 Greeley avenue, has been confined to the house with illness, but is some better at this writing.

BILLY BIRD AND THE TAX RATE Taxpayer I say to you, we can have just such a tax rate as we desire, just as extensive or progressive or economical a program as we want. Our officials know they are our servants to give us just the kind of administration which we desire. The question is, will we ask for it? It is up to us, here is the plan, easily within our reach, without expense as suggested by Wm. G. Bird, county assessor. Who will take the initiative? Will it be the Economy League, Chamber of Commerce, Optists, Rotarians, Co-operatives, Kiwains, Armoundale Business Men's Club, Argentine Activities Association, London Heights, Quindaro or one of the many other improvement associations or will it be the Central Labor Union or some of the other organized bodies with civic interest such as the Retail Grocers Protective Association or the Wyandotte County Bar Association? I have suggested enough so that any one can grasp the idea. I mean to interest all as all are interested; but who, which one will start it, which one of the civic organizations? Don't all speak at once, but all act. By the time each has appointed its committee it will be well along toward August, 1922, when the budgets of the political sub divisions of the city and county government are ready to send to the county clerk and county commissioners to be made into the tax rates for the various taxing districts. Now after the committees have been appointed by all the various organizations and have been amalgamated into one central body on rates and taxation this body will invite our officials to submit their respective budgets for consideration, which they will bladly do and be present to explain what they intend to do interest. Every public official that you asking the privilege of spending in your city or county and in your interest. Every public official that you have or will hereafter get, will appreciate and gladly co-operate with this sort of an organized interest in them and your money and our community. This plan will work. It speel's Economical Government with any kind of a porgram, large or small. This is co-operation that will be appreciated as much by your officials as the saving or reduction in taxes would be by our citizens who would be beneficiaries of such a move. This whole plan would not require a half dozen afternoons or nights of these committeemen in a year. Carry out this plan and save to the people a quarter of a million dollars or more; the taxpayer would pay more cheerfully if he only knew what his money went for, how it was spent, who spent it and that he received a dollar's worth of labor or matrial for each dollar paid out. Please adopt this or some similar plan so that the people may know what is going on and where the money goes. This will stop the knocker, to a very large per cent, complaining about high taxes is knocking your city. Don't be a knocker. Spend ten or twelve hours i need year in community interest and you will have a better city in which to live and do business FORD'S ROAD AND PUBLIC COMMENT If Henry married a widow with two children, what would he have? A Lizzie and two run-abouts.—Th B'acksmith's Journal. Henry Ford's railroad has turned a deficit into an operating profit of more than $500 000 in the first six months.—New York Times. Henry Ford, in an interview, predicts a new era for the railroads; lighter locomotives and care and better wages will move freight faster, he declares.—Washington Post. Henry Ford is showing the country how railroads should be run declared Norman Hapgood; "he has cut rates, raised wages and is still making profits."—New York American. The Interstate Commerce Commission has suspended Mr. Ford's reduction of rates on his railway and directed that the present lawful rates shall be collected until next year.—New York Times. "Ownership and operation of the Detroit, To'edo and Ironton Railroad by Henry Ford, is contrary to the public interest," according to Walk r D. Hine', former director general of the railroads.—Washington Star. Freight rate reductions on Henry Ford's To'edo, Detroit and Ironton railroad have been made too rapidly to comply with the regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission.—Washington Herald. With the example of Ford's railroad in mind the tax payers may be justified in wondering whether it was the inefficiency of labor or the inefficiency of management that has brought the railroads to the verge of insolvency.New York Herald. The postoffice is no longer to be used as a sort of detective, according to an order just issued by the postmaster general, by which postmasters are instructed to give out no information about individuals using the mails. Under the Burleson regime, private correspondence was not safe from interference by the postal authorities. The new order plainly tells the postmasters to keep hands off.

MIDNIGHT (Continued from First Page) he dropped in and got me and toted me all over the city in his Ford. To the Arkansas Baptist college, where I had the pleasure of meetnig Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the college and one of the leading educators in this country. I put my feet under the table to Mr. and Mrs. E.A. Morris, and you know E. A. Morris was a lieutenant in the United States army and fought like h—l over in France. He made a record for bravery, and now he is business manager of the Vanguard and is fighting a battle for us there. He is the son of his father, and a fine young man. I have told you about his wife, before she come from the royal blood of Kentucky. She was Miss Mattie Craig Ellis, of the famous blue grass section, Lexington. She maintains the reputation of her state, and she is proud of being a Kentuckian, and I don't blame her myself. She is directly interested in the work of her husband, and contributes to his success. Dr. Booker is doing a great work in college. He knows how to do things and he is doing them. I made a trip over to Shorter college, and enjoyed the work of Dr. S. L. Green. Monday night at my own name and hour I left for Memphis, and then on down to Helena, Ark: My coming was heralded, hence I walked into the city and on my way to the home of Dr. E. C. Morris, saw Mrs. Eliza Miller, the queen of Helena, and one of the wealthiest women in the south, saying nothing about race or color. You could not tell this by looking at her. She shook my lily black hand, had me to look in her show, and see that things were in apple pie order, and then said I am going home, and stopped by to get a real fine chicken, and chopped its head off for me. I went to the home of Dr. E. C. Morris, found him sitting up, and was glad to see me. We talked, and he told how near he had been to the Kingdom and was ready and willing to go at any time. He hod lived well today and was willing for tomorrow to do what it desired to do. He talked about going home, just like he was talking about taking a trip to the National Baptist convention, and he was glad to see the interest the young people were taking. He desired to see the Baptist build a real publishing house in Nashville and he would be delighted to leave, knowing that it belonged to the Baptists. We are not going to be fooled any more. "We have our paid lessons in trust," he said, "and I am proud of it." From Helena, I returned to Memphis, and had the pleasure of spending the night at the home of Miss L. E. Campbell, who is one of the teachers in the high school of Memphis, and a good one at that. She is devoted to her mother and is taking good care of her. She is an officer in the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. congress, which is to meet in New Orleans, La., next June, and I hope that you are going to be there, for already Prof. Aaron E. Malone, and his wife have presented me with a new suit to wear there and a tailor made it with a belt, and if you want to see me with a belt you will have to come to New Orleans. The Baptist church of this place had just called Rev. J. T. Brown, and it looked to me like they are going to have a heluva time down here in this part of the world. I am not into the particulars just now, and will not say all I have in mind, but will await developments. I do not want to get in a fight in this age with people, for they will discuss and cuss the hades out of you, and they dig you up from the cradle to the grave. Then they will try to see how you act in Heaven. After looking around for a little while, I left for Jackson, Tenn., to visit Lane college, and found at the head Dr. James F. Lane, president, and his wife the secretary. Mrs. Lane is one more fine woman. I am delighted to see her. There is a young man here in Memphis who deserves credit and praise for what he is doing for the young people. It is Prof. George W. Henderson. president, founder and all of the Henderson Business college, and it is the best of its kind in this country. Seeing the need of trained young people for business, for clerks, stenographers, shorthand writers, bookkeepers, bankers and the like this young man, with ambition, with a desire to do more than talk, put his little money together, and started a business college in a rented house. Later he purchased a place and erected a college to his liking and notion, and it is indeed up-to-date and up to the standard. He says when he is through with you and you receive a diploma from his school you can "Write a good hand. keep a set of double entry books. Operate a typewriter by the touch method. Make a financial statement of a business. You can take a position in a bank as teller, cashier, bookkeeper or anything else. Young men and women who want to be something in this line. I would suggest that you go to see Prof. Henderson, or write to him. I am saying this terprise, but his line is going so much all alone. There is endowment behind this great enterprise, but his lige is going out for the perfection of others. I want to pay my respects to this deserving young man. I am now off to the meeting of the bishops, and you may look for my next letter next week, for I am going to tell you about them. I will be delighted to have a line from you at any time.
