THE YORK RITE MASONS SET UP NEW LODGE Rev. J. A. Broadnax, Grand Master of York Rite Masons for the State of Kansas and its Jurisdiction, and Dr. N.C. Jenkins, National D. G. Master installed "Star Light Lodge" No. 78, last Saturday night at Sons of Protection Hall, Sixth street and State avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. This lodge makes nine subordinate lodges of the Fraternity in Kansas City, Kansas, and was organized by Brother W. H. Ford, Grand Master of King Solomon Grand Lodge, whose hobby is to set up a new lodge every year. Dr. Broadnax was at his best and made a grand address, as well as an eloquent plea to the men. Explaining many of the virtues of the order, as only he can do. Dr. Jenkins, National Deputy Grand Master, and Grand Master of Missouri, made an eloquent address, which was at times interspersed with humor and pathos, so characteristic of the doctor and which every one present enjoyed. After which was the installation of the lodge of 21 men in due form, according to ancient custom of the order. The officers installed were: W. H. Ford, Master; W.T. Robinson, Senior Warden; Wm. Stennett, Junior Warden; Dave Moton, Treasurer; Wm. Jenkins, secretary; Stephen's, Chaplain; Mitchell Wilson, Tyler. After which Brother Ford responded to Grand Master Broadnax, which he said in part: "Most Worshipful Grand Master, this is indeed a great pleasure to me to be able to add one more unit to this great organization. As you know it has been my custom as well as my highest ambition to show my appreciation of obligation with this great body by adding another link each year. I have always felt that the best day to demonstrate your appreciation is by your works. The man that does not love this order well enough to work for it, I do not believe is worthy of being a member of it. An empty title is no good. It takes work to accomplish anything worth while. Christ dignified work by accepting the profession of a carpenter. That great temple which we try to impress upon the minds of the civilized world today in a symbolic or speculative way was accomplished by work. The lesson of the bee should be well studied by each and every member of the order. Your own activity since assuming the Grand Mastership and the results thereof has demonstrated the necessity of work. When we look back a few years and compare the circumstances and condition of this Lodge then and now we can readily see the results of your work that the working tools of this great order has been placed in the hands of a craftsman that - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 DR. DIXON TO SPEAK AT JUNIOR; ALLEN LEAGUE NEXT SUNDAY EVENING Sunday evening, May 7, Dr. I. H. Lixon, of Florida, will speak to the Allen Junior League in the lecture room of the First. A. M. E. church. Prof. Wise has arranged a fine program for this meeting, having some of the best talent on the program of the two cities.

Blount, 402 Lafayette avenue, has as their lovable guest, Mrs. Blount's mother, Mrs. L. E. Clemons of Terrell, Texas.

The many warm friends this family has made since coming among us will be delighted to meet Mrs. Clemmons. knew how to use them, has become an established fact. You have extended your dominion into six states of this great republic and it was through your indomitable efforts that this great body is recorded on the rolls of the international Eureau of Masonic Affairs in Topeka. "These are only a few of the great achievements you have made since your advent into this great office. But I shall not attempt to mention them all; suffice it to say that you have done your duty and did it well and we sincerely hope that the Grand Architect of Heaven and Earth may see fit to let your time roll on that the cement of brotherly love may be more extensively spread throughout this land and a better conception of the principles of Freemasonry may prevail. Then when time shall be no more, and you shall be called from labor to refreshment to that Grand Lodge above; that lodge eternal in the Heavens, not made with hands. "We are equally appreciative of the presence of Dr. Jenkins and the part he has taken in this ceremony, as well as Brother Clyde Briggs, Grand Secretary, and his assistant, Brother Kerford, for the inspiration left in this lodge. Brother Briggs named this Lodge, and we shall try to make it worthy of its name, "Star Light," with the assistance of these two great pillars. Strength and Beauty in the cersonification of Brother Robinson, and Brother Stinnett. We shall endeavor to return to you at the next Grand Lodge, this Dispensation, unsullied by the stain of an unMasonic aet, and a membership of merit. W. H. FORD." Kansas City,'Kansas, Friday, May 5, 1922 MRS. WINN, Y. W. C. A. FIELD SECRETARY IS HERE Mrs. Cardella, A. Winn, of New York, field secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association, visited the local branch here this week, at 337 Washington boulevard. Mrs. Winn was on her way east from Hot Springs, Ark., where she attended the National Association convention from April 20 to April 27. Mrs. Winn said there were 1,800 delegates and of that number one hundred were colored and among the principal speakers was Bishop Robert E. Jones of the colored M. E. church of New Orleans. From the other race, who put up the greatest defense for equal opportunity and a fair chance for the colored race, was Mrs. Luke Jones, of Atlanta, Ga. This is the first visit of Mrs. Winn to the Yates Branch since the new secretary, Miss Hall, has been in charge. While here, Mrs. Winn held several meetings at the "Y" with the Board of Directors and other interested organizations of "Y" work. Mrs. Winn stated she was very much pleased with the work being done by the new secretary, Miss Hall, as she was a splendid young woman and one who had the work at heart and made a strong and earnest appeal to the board as well as to citizens to give the local secretary their best support for a better and far more reaching influence for the good the Young Women's Christian Association stands for. Mrs. Winn will leave this evening for Cheiago. Hear Dr. Dixon, the evangelist, at First A. M. E. church. ARTICLE BY NORVAL P. BARKSDALE ATTRACTING INTERNATION ATTENTION "L'Opinion," a conservative Parisian daily, carries in its issue of March 4, a letter written by Norval P. Barksdale and addressed to the French people. In the letter Mr. Barksdale praised the justice and fairness shown the Negro by the French. This letter was either copied or commented on by several other European publications, and in this country the letter has also been printed in the "Living Age". for April 15, the "Courrier des Etats-Unis," a French daily published in New York and other papers. Mr. Albert Miller and his wife, Mrs. Leota, after spending several months in Los Angeles, on account of Mr. Miller's work, returned home Wednesday to stay, of which their many warm friends give them a hearty welcome. Mr. and Mrs. Miller have been greatly missed from our community and their stay from us has seemed much longer than it really was. Rev. George McNeal, pastor of Pleasant Green Baptist church, has returned from Indianapolis, where he attended a meeting of the educational board of this church. Dr. McNeal reports a good attendance and a very successful and encouraging session. Mr. Chester Gaskins, one of our prominent young men and an efficient grain inspector, left Tuesday night on his vacation and will visit friends down in Missouri' Mr. Gaskins expects to be gone about two weeks. Hear Dean Pickens. Here May 11. It's free. A wonderful speaker. At Rev. McNeal's church, Fourth and Oakland. LAWRENCE FORUM HERE SUNDAY GOOD PROGRAM The publicity committee, who was in the organization of the Forum, had advertised welcomes on the bulletin boards and as Kansas University is our state school, had the Kansas state motto, "Ad Astra per Aspera," in a conspicuous place. And over 1,000 people assembled in the dress circle and balcony of Metropolitan Temple. As the president was in Washington, D. C, vicepresident, T. Knapper presided with dignity and the following program was enacted: Opening chorus, with Mrs. A. Allsbrook as accompanist. Invocation, Rev. A. Royston, assistant pastor of Metropolitan. Minutes, Miss W. Dwigins. Remarks, Rev. T. Knapper. Welcome address, Attotney Claude Jones, good. Quotations by many from Lawrence and more from Kansas City, Kansas. Mrs. M. C. Matthews gave an original poetical quotation, which received more applause than anything except the main paper. Mr. Hamilton led in the Lawrence quotations. The Kansas City, Kansas, president introduced the Lawrence president and turned the Forum over to him and then Mrs. G. M. Peace of Lawrence responded in a beautiful way to our welcome and gave many favorable statistics for our race. Mr. W. E. Wright gave current events. Then came the main feature of the program, the paper, "What is the Matter With the World" by Dr. H. G. Cabell. It was fine, but the writer of this program does not agree with everything he said. He claims the world is upset over the over-anxious desire for money. He also said most churches and ministers were more for money than anything else. Judge Bradley differed with him. Rev. T. Knapper also differed with him and defended the churches. Several others also discussed the paper. He certainly set the people to thinking and he received very great applause. The piano duet "Quivive," by Miss Ruth Gillum and Prof. Theodore Copeland was enced. Mr. George W. Hamilton gave a reading. The Song of the Banjo. President Holly of Lawrence, made a few remarks and Miss Marjorie Tucker read a very favorable critic's report. Editor Thos Kennedy made a motion to extend thanks for the excellent program. It was carried unanimously. The vast audience was so pleased with the fine program that they gave a large collection. Those who did not come, missed, a great day in their lives. Next Sunday, May 7, the lawyers of our city have a fine interesting program. Don't miss it. Then on Sunday, May 14, all are invited to come and hear the Camp Fire Girls' program.

So don't forget our Forum here And Kansas City great For we love Lawrence Forum, dear Rev. A. M. Ward, of Los Angeles, Calif., visited in the city this week, the guest of his son, Dr. Ward, the dentist. Rev. Ward has many friends here being some years ago pastor of First: A. M.

P. drive for 2.000 members is making progress. We now have 480 new members. Forty-eight of these are five-dollar members, eleven ate $2.50 members, and the remainder are one-dollar members. Our greatest need at this time is workers. Those who are working are rendering fine service, but our workers are few in number and the city is large. We meet on Mondays and Thursday evenings at our headquarters, 1306 North Tenth street. The public is cordially invited to these meetings. Mr. William C. Pickens, of New York City, the field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will visit Kansas City, Kansas, Thursday, May 11, and will make an address at Rev. McNeal's church, Fourth street and Oakland avenue, at 8 p. m. The meeting will be free to everybody. Mr. Pickens needs no introduction to a Kansas City audience. If you have never heard him, you should hear him. If you have heard him, you will wish to hear, him again. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People considers itself very fortunate to be able to bring to the people of Kansas City so distinguished a speaker absolutely free. Splendid music and readings will also be a part of the program. Dennis Wilson has installed a filling station at 1006 Walker avenue, which will be quite an accommodation to autoists on this outgoing street. Mr. Wilson also carries a full line of accessories for cars. He also has a road service of real worth to those who are in need on short notice. Mr. Wilson is one of our up-to-the-minute, young men and deserves the patronage of the public. Rev. W. A. Bowren attended he National Board meeting in St. Louis, Mo., this week. Number 38 HOWARD U., AT WASHINGTON, IS A RACE CREDIT Montgomery, Alabama.—If you take the time to get the solid foundation Howard University will do the rest, and without a foundation this institution has no place for you. In other words it is truly all it says, and it is not part grammar school, part high school and what not. Have you been to Howard University in the past year? If you have not you would hardly know it, and, yet it is nothing to what it is going to be in the future, and then the whole race will take off hats and heads to Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer. When I wrote to you last I was around and about Philadelphia, and I accepted an invitation to spend a day at Howard University, and I never spent such a day in all my life, and I have been shouting ever since I left there looking at so many educated men and women of our race, and those preparing to become educated. The more I saw the many improvements, and the more I saw Dr. Scott at his office with the large number of clerks, stenographers under him, the more I felt like thanking God for Emmett J. Scott. He is one of the great men of our race. Reaching the city, Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress toted me up to Howard University in his automobile. This made me go to the school in style. I reported to the office of the secretary-treasurer, but he had gone to the city. This, of course, then put me to report to others. They were willing to give me a guide, but I decided that I would guide myself, and out I struck on a tour to study Howard University, but believe me, honey, it would take you a month to study this great institution, and then the half would not be told. I will just give the benefit of my getting around. The first found me in the office of Dean Kelly Miller. He is dean of the Junior college. His secretary escorted me up to the room where he was having a class in something. The dean extended me his hand and told me to make myself right at home with them. He told me what they were having. It was a class of about 30 young men and from all parts of the country, and some from foreign countries. I looked at them, and heard them talk over affairs, and then Dean Miller asked me to say a few things I had my say, and then to another room and another, and another. This is not a child's school, and you will believe me when I tell you they are not having the child's study, but problems requiring brain to grapple with. I found that among other things there were Liberal Arts, Education, Applied Science, Commerce and Finance, Journalism, Religion, Medicine, Music, General Service and Law. Then to come in touch with the heads of the departments. The president is one of the finest men it has been my lot to meet. His heart is in the right place, and with him education is not a play or a mockery, it is either education or no education, it is like that fellow in some kind of sphere said: "To be or not to be, That is the question." I had the pleasure of talking with him for a few minutes, and found him a congenial, polished Christian gentleman who is interested in his work. His name, in full is J. Stanley Durkee, A.M., Ph.D., D.D. and (Concluded on Fourth Page). Entered as second-class matter August 29, 1914, at the postoffice at Kansas City, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

CHURCH NEWS REVIVAL CLOSES SUNDAY NIGHT The services Sunday were of a high spiritual awakening of the church and the engathering of souls, 22 being brought into the fold. The church auditoriums being filled to their capacity, to hear the great evangelist, Rev. I. H. Dixon, of Florida, who has been in a sin-killnig campaign nearly two weeks. His subject at the morning service, was, "Will a Man Rob God," and his evening subject, "The Wages of Sin is Death." Both of these subjects were handled by the evangelist with a wonderful and convincing argument. At the close of the day's services more than a score of men and women had accepted Christ, as their future guide and leader. The meetings this week have been largely attended every night and the evangel-gelist seems to have received a greater power of the Holy Ghost. Up to the close of the service Wednesday night about fifty souls were the fruits of the noted evangelist's work. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, has been an ardent worker during all of these meetings and his after appeals to sinners have had great effect clinching Dr. Dixon's arguments. Dr. Dixon will close his campaign Sunday night, preaching morning and evening, giving a lecture to the Junior Allen League at' 5:30 Sunday evening. Some of the visiting ministers attending this week were: Revs. Watts, Miller, J. C. C. Owens and A. M. Ward, a former pastor of this church, now of Los Angeles. Baptism will be administered Sunday to those who lately came into the church. If you wish to hear this wonderful evangelist tonight and Sunday will be your last opportunity. Seats on Sunday will be at a premium and if you wish a seat you had better come early. Sunday night will be farewell and good bye parting to Dr. Dixon. Argentine. Kansas St. Paul A. M.

They came to us as efficient workers and will fit splendidly into our church. The excellent sermon preached by Rev. Daniels, pastor Morning Star Baptist church, last Sunday 3 o'clock will ever be cherished in the memory of the many who heard at the missionary mass meeting.

WM. H. TOWERS. Attorney for Plaintiff. (First published March 31, 1922) JOHN H. HARRIS METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES At 11 a. m., Assistant Pastor Rev. A. Royston, preached another fine sermon from Acts 8:37. "And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest be baptized. The sermon was enjoyed very much. As it was the beginning of Boys' week, Mr. Manney a boy in knee pants from the Baptist college in Kansas City, Mo., made a wonderful talk. He seems to have a God given tlaent for talking. He was applauded loudly. Many of the church officers-spoke right out and said they did not authorize anyone to put in the Call newspaper that "Dr. Harrison was the best preacher they ever had." At the night service, many heard the assistant pastor preach again. The two weeks 'rally for $500 was announced for next Sunday, May 7. Dr. Harrison has promised to preach on that date, also promises to help give $100. He will preach-the K. P. sermon in the afternoon, and the 31st anniversary sermon of the chapter members and Sewing Circle at night. Come out and hear Dr. Harrison, as perhaps he won't be here much longer. He told the church if ever they were without a pastor and he applied again, he hoped they would accept him. One newspaper had it just the reverse. The B. Y. P. U. will have its May festival May 10, 11 and 12 and a great celebration and a great program will be had on Mother's day, Sunday, May 14. Come all day on May 7, also all day on May 14. The city B. Y.

The.11:30 service was well attended and enjoyed. The spirit was present. The text was: "Who Shall I Send?" Come out to our Sunday school at 1:30. The teachers are laboring to emphasize how wicked it is to sin and the result of sin. This cannot be instilled into a child too soon. The community meeting last Sunday was one of the best ever witnessed. The government employees went down in history as standing for something. The papers and readings were all that any audience could hope to listen. The music was good. The address by Prof. Bailey was certainly inspiring. We regretted to have him finish. We hope to have them with us again. Come out next Sunday and hear a wonderful program. Beautiful singing, playing, instructive readings and wonderful lecturing. The principle address is always instructive and inspiring. Come out early next Sunday. From the number of candidates announced for the office of sheriff, one would think it was equal to the position of governor.

On several occasions I have been approached with the query as to what effect the action in the U. S. Court in Houston, Texas, which has heen filed against the Colored Masons of the World have on Masonry among my people. ._ I myself being Master of Far West Lodge No. 5, Free and Accepted Masons, National Compact, feel it my daty to of- fer as a word of consolation to our members, an answer to this intricate question. Back in March, 1775, when our’ country was in its struggle for Indepen- dence one Prince Hall together with several colored men were regular made Masons in a2 British Army Lodge at Boston, Mass. After the revolutionary war the Army Lodge ceased ac- tion by veason of the fact that the British Army evacuated Boston. After which Prince Hall, Thom. Sanderson, Boston Smith and several others of their brethren petitioned the Grand Lodge of England for a warrant to authorize and em- power them to work as a just and lawful body of Masons. This petition was granted on the 29th day of September, 1784, A. D., and grantd the op- eration of a Lodge in Boston. Since the date of ihe grant Free Masonry amoag colored men in America has_ had its fluctuations. We as National Compact Masons, today trace our origin with pride realizing that the 131 years of eommun- ion without a broken link will serve as a precious heritage to our offspring. In the year 1847 John T. Hilton, suecessor to Prince Hall called all colored Masons in the country to mest -in Boston, Mass., for the purpose of form- ing a more penfect union. The two or three Grand" Lodges in ‘existence at that time formed ‘themselves into one compact body, the National Head, viz: ‘Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons, National Com- pact, under John T. Hilton, as first National Grand Mas- ter. 7 After some time ceratin State Grand Lodges seceded, left the union and beeame 2 sovereign’ within themselves, known as States Rites, A. F. & A. M. I will not attempt to say where they got this name. Now back to the subject: this is the crew that the Texas ‘Shriners have obtained a tem- porary injunction to forbid the Colored Masons. of the world from wearing the insignia or emblem, does not affect our Masonic and was was not in- tended to affect ite The Free and Ac2pted Anc- ient York Masons, F. & A. A. Y. M,, infringes upon no other Masonic Rite, when. it comes to our higher degree we incorpo- rated the Scottish Rite Masons at Washington, D. C., to the 33 and last Degree, and also in- corporated the Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shriners (Colored) York Rite, Scottish Rite. And are incorporated in the several states throughout our jurisdiction, therefore we are operating on legitimate principles, and we are advised by our Grand Master, our Grand Potentate, and our D. D. Insp. Gen. to display and wear any insignia or emblem we de- sire within our Patent authori- ty} and that we are justly enti- tled to wear the emblem of that which we represent, and again we were born in an atmosphere whara tha Zonhur hreezes «of “We must treat our new cook with respect, She belongs to the Revo- lutionary Dames where she came from.” $ : “Where did she come .fre~- Z “Mexico.” , 3 ‘THE KANSAS ‘CITY ADVOCATE, KANSAS CITY, K BUILDING PERMITS «=~ | | | Kaew His Busine The following * building permits have been issued since our last re- port: .

For further information concerning this great Lodge call MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1) right by his side is that modest young man of ours, Emmett J. Scott, A.M., LL.D., a philosopher, a thinker and a leader of men. And now I will give you the names of the deans and directors and perhaps the other officers: Dean Junior College, Kelly Miller, A.M., LL.D.; Dean School of Liberal Arts, Dudley W. Woodard, A.M.; Dean School of Commerce and Finance, George W. Cook, LL.M.; Dean School of Education; Dwight O. W. Holmes, A.M.; Dean School of Applied Science, Harold D. Hatfield, M.E.; Dean School of Music, Lulu V. Childers, Mus.B.; Director School of Public Health, Algernon B. Jackson, M.D.; Dean School of Religion, D. Butler Pratt, D.D.; Dean School of Law, Fenton W. Booth, L.L. B.; Dean School of Medicine, Edward A. Bolloch, M.D.; Dean of Men, Edward L. Parks, D.L.; Acting Dean of Women, Helen H. Tuck, A.B. I made the rounds of the departments. I noticed one kind of open office where the word, "Registrar," was there in big letters, so into it I plunged. I made known to them that I was a "fessor" and desired to have a diploma from the school. The young man at the desk told me that I could not buy a diploma, but would have to earn it, but he took my name and address, and said he would write to the schools where I had been and get my standing and let me hear from him later. But there was another man in the office who invited me to come in, and carried me back in a private room for a conference. In so many words he told me that I was displaying ignorance, and wanted to let me know about this education business. He was F. D. Wilkerson. He talked to me like a father to his son and gave me a little fat book called "Howard University Bulletin, Annual Catalogue Howard University, Washington D. C." He told me to look it over, get my measure, so to speak. I am not going to be able to give you all the people I met. Now then around to look at th building and grounds, to come in touch with what was going on. I could see here and there a new Howard. I saw that wonderful building being completed which will be the most complete, and the finest of its kind in the United States. It is a building in a building. I could see other improvements going on. and could see that the Lord is doing great things for us. Dr. Scott had returned and again to his office. It is an education within itself just to see how he conducts his office—I mean offices, for there are many under his direction. About 10 of them and in this number are Assistant Treasurer Clarence E. Lucas, LL.D., Lawrence Whaley, chief clerk; Daniel W. Edmonds, Ph.D., cashier and bookkeeper. Then I started to name the bookkeepers, the stenographers, the telephone operator and many others. It is with ease and dignity that Mr. Scott keeps them all busy and at the same time he looks after every business interest of the University. He is demonstrating to the world the business ability of the race to hanlde large progress, and all of this is just elevating him step by step in the world, and the race at the same time. I shall have to tell you more about Howard and Emmett J. Scott, and President Durkee from time to time. I have enough gathered about the improvements to fill several papers, and will let you have it on There are so many things you want to ask me about and would like to have me tell you that I fear I am not going to be able to do so this week but there will be another time, and I will just roll up my sleeves and let you have it The Church Extension Board of the African Methodist Episcopal church held an interesting meeting last week at headquarters, 1535 Fourteenth street, N. W., and a full board was present, presided over by Bishcp John Hurst, D.D., of Baltimore, the chairman. While Dr. B. F. Watson was not able to be down, his report was made in good shape, was read by a member of the board, and the efficient clerk, Miss Marie Thomas, was there to answer all questions, and to give information. It is wonderful how she has the business of that large office at her fingers' ends and can just give out information as fast as you can ask for it. The work in that office will just go right along. She was given power of attorney by the board, and all business of the office will receive prompt attention. I have had much pleasure in this world. I have been to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Atlanta, Montgomery, and all in a week. I had many things to inspire me, but none so much as Howard University. They are now getting ready for other big meetings. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. S. S. Morris, general secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League. He informs me that there is much interest manifested in the national convention to be held in Chicago in August. I agree with him, for as I get over the country I find that the young people are all getting ready for that great meeting. You will see the brain of the African Methodist church on hand at this time. They are just going to be there. Teachers should make this great meeting a part of their vacation. Editors, stencgraphers, teachers, college presidents and professors, public school people will all be on hand at this wonderful meeting. The National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress will meet next month in New will meet next month in New Orleans, the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias will meet next month in San Antonio. Texas, and so many other meetings will be held. I will let you know about them from time to time. COLORED AGENTS WANTED to organize lodges for an old established fraternal insurance society. Sick,accident and death benefits.
