Vol. VIII Rev. Broadnax Visits Boulder and Denver, Colo., With Usual Tangible Results Enthusiasm at Fever Heat. Organizations of the F. & A. M. York Rite Masons and the Heroines of Jericho. Nos. 94, 103 and 104, of this city and Denver, held their annual thanksgiving session and banquet June 1, 1922, in this city and Denver. The annual thanksgiving sermon was delivered by the Rev. J. A. Broadnax, Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Central Baptist church. Rev. Broadnax is the M. W. G. M. of the Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado jurisdictions of the F. & A. A. Y. Masons. A special permit was granted without hesitancy for a grand public demonstration from 2 until 6 o'cock, in which over 1,000 persons took part. The house was filled and many were unable to gain admission To say it was a grand display is but an effort of reporting. The speaker swept his audience off their feet at will. He led them over facts of the history of Masonry. The facts were impeachable and could not be denied. The origin and divisions of the order and struggles of this grand old fraternity were given and no one dared to dispute the speaker's arguments. The illustration was just fine. Her banner was unfurled to the gaze and stood the test well. On Monday, June 5th, the Rev. Broadnax was in Beautiful Boulder, the spot he loves so well. He lectured at the A. M. E. church to a fair crowd and to say they were pleased is to fail of words. He held them, spellbound. He led them step by step over the long and weary path of the history of the order down to date, of its struggles, and proved conclusively that Prince Hall's followers are in the line of the illustrious founder of F. & A. A. Y. M. At the close of the evening session there was a class of eight candidates who took up the march over the burning sands of the desert and when Denver was reached on June 14, more joined the procession, so when we arrived at the lodge room there were thirty-three candidates in line. Albert Hars was then elected High Priest. From there the members went to Knights Templar hall where they halted and the Rev. J. C. Carter was chosen as Most Eminent Commander of this division. So we had not gotten home. We again started out, this time for the Mystic Shrine. At this place C. W. Buckhalter was chosen as the Most Illustrious Grand Potentate. Not yet home, we were off again for the House of Consistory. Here J. S. Morris was Commander in Chief of this division. Here the writer asks pardon for having lost that part of his manuscript appertaining to the ladies. As he did not write the notes, it would be hard for him to reproduce it, so offers his apology and promises not to do so again. So closed one of the greatest events in F. & A. A. Y. M. J. C. C. (Writer). —Bounlder News-Herald, June 12, 1922. Rev. W. A. Bowren has returned from Cleveland. Ohio, where he visited an old friend minister, who is on the decline, but the appearance of his old and true friend revived him so much, he sat up for several days; and Dr. Bowren left him with greater strength and courage. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 YORK RITE MASONS INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI Saint Andrew Grand Lodge of F. & A. A. York Rite Masons Dr. N. S. Jenkins, Grand Master, has been incorporated, under the laws of the State of Missouri. Dr. Jenkins is one of the prominent physicians of the Argentine district of this city and has been the means of keeping the Grand body in the State of Missouri alive and finally succeeded in bringing about its incorporation. The doctor says he expects to bring this Jurisdiction in a few years, on par with King Solomon Grand Lodge and Jurisdiction of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Colorado, whose Grand Master is Rev. J. A. Broadnax, also of this city. ENTERAINMENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED The entertainment that was to have been given this last Wednesday night, by Mid-West Company, Uniform Rank, K. of P., at Pythian Temple, has been deferred until July 21st. All holding tickets for this entertainment, will be good on date mentioned. RUBE HAS COME AND GONE-MONARCHS WIN SERIES, 3 OUT OF 5 Rube Foster and his "Tattooed Fcxes,' from the little city by the lake, Chicago, have been here and the fans of the twin cities were just as glad to see them back there. While the Monarchs copped the series, 3 out of 5 games, these Rubes were awful annoying and hard on weak hearts, until the last half of the tenth frame of the final game Wednesday. It just seemed that all that could be done on a ball diamond in a ball town, with all the bald-headed fans in the two cities could not stop the Windy team from winning the series, but there came a time and a last and lingering moment of three thousand speechless, heartless, fans who revived without dashing water in their faces. It was tenth inning the last half, the score standing 5 to 5 and Mr. Whitworth of the Giants filled the sacks with feathers and then showed his heartiness by giving the fourth Monarch batsman a walk, forcing in the winning run and series. Saturday the A.B.C.s, Indianapolis league leaders and league sluggers, will come for a five-game series. It is said the A.B.C.s have at this time the greatest hitting team in the League and are running away with every team on the circuit. Well, this is their first appearance here and their first combat with our boys this year and and of course they are not nervous. Tuesday will be ladies' day, when the fair sex are admitted free. Detroit comes July first. The Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem of the two cities will hold their annual Thangskiving sermon. Sunday, July 25, at the C. M E. church, Eighteenth street and The Paseo. The Rev. Mr. Doyle will deliver the sermon. A fine program also will be rendered by members of the order. Samuel Diggs, of this city, is the Most Noble Supreme Grand King and his administration has been one of great success. Rev: W. B. Johnson, pastor of the A. M. E. church at Baxter Springs, Kansas, and former pastor of Bethel-Zion churches of this city, was a pleasant caller at The Advocate office Monday. We are always glad to see our friends. Dr. Johnson visited the two Kansas Cities several days before he returned to his charge. He reported his work was pleasant and everything was moving along nicely. CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Frid P.

Mr. Kennedy has been solicited to run through the influence and endorsement of electors in almost every precinct in this District. Mr. Kennedy came to Kansas City, Kansas about nine years ago from Ohio and started this newspaper, which has been a success, having been the first publication in the interest of our racial group to live and prosper in this city. He is a product of Wilberforce University, Ohio, of the class of 1901. He is Brigadier General of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias for the State of Kansas, and also a member of the Masons, and other fraternities, besides a number of civic organizations.

ADVOCATE ive political offices and filled them with satisfaction to all the people he served. He has the peculiar honor of being personally acquainted with both the late presidential candidates, President Harding and his opponent, ex-Governor Cox, both of Ohio. Mr. Kennedy is not the tool of any political clique or parcel of men, but, if elected, will endeavor to serve the entire citizenry without fear or favor. He is not running upon nationality but as a hundred per cent American. Mr. Kennedy's newspaper has never been used as a means of giving publicity to scandal or the "yellow" brand of journalism. On the contrary, it has been published with a view of pleasing the older, thinking class, while advocating education and better qualifications for the coming citizens, and he will attempt to uphold a similar policy in dealing with county affairs, should he succeed in being elected to the office. The impartiality and fairness he has tried to give to his news will be his aim in any office he is elected to. He has many friends among all classes, who will give him their earnest support.

J., June 12.—Declaring that administration leaders are spineless and un-American in their efforts to suppress the Ku Klux Klan, colored Republicans of this state have called a general convention for June 15 to place members of the race on the ticket as candidates in the Republican primary for governor and United States senator. The convention, it is said, has been called under the auspices of Crispus Attucks Protectvie League. This organization has done much throughout the state for the betterment of the Negro in political and civil life, and this latest move seems to be calculated to force political leaders throughout the state to about face or lose control of political affairs.

Number 45 MIDNIGHT STILL ALIVE THOUGH IN STATE OF TEXAS Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias Meet at San Antonio Brought Together Many Well Known Men of the Southland. Austin, Texas.—"Are we yet alive?" This is a question to be asked and considered every day in these days and times, and I am glad to report to you as I sit myself down in the chair with my ink and paper on the table and pen in hand to write you a few lines this week, that I am still here, knocking along some better and hope when these few lines come to hand they may find you the same. I feel that I must talk about myself before talking about where I have been, what I have been doing and the people I have met and about the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias. Now there is that Dr. J. R. Moore, who is considered one of the best surgical doctor physicians in this state, and a man who can cut, you wide open, take an inventory of your insides and then put you together again. I was suffering with some head trouble, and he just got me in his automobile carriage car and toted me down to his office, dressed up in white, killed all the meelings in my head, cut it open, scraped it out and then put it together again, and I find that I have been getting better since then, and may some day be a little better. It seems that them bugs have discovered a new way to get at me, and they are just going after my think tank, get it out of order then they will get my body, turn it over to the worms to get fat on. When I wrote you last week I had just reached San Antonio, and at the home of Rev. S. J. Johnson, D.D.. the man who is to be the next Secretary of Church Extension Society of the African Methodist Episcopal church. He was out of the city, or went out before I could get to his house, but his wife received me and told me to be at home. A man with a good wife is just like a man with an angel. A good wife can do much to help a public man. Now here is the case where the husband has gone away, and the friend comes to the house, the wife throws open the door, makes him feel at home, and that brings that friend just a little closer. But if she says, like a woman told me in Cincinnati, 'I will be glad to have you come to my house when my husband is at home, and spend the night, but no man comes to this house when Joe's away.' The rule should be that the man who can't come in when I am away I do not want him there when I am at home. But now I have spent a week in that home and I was at the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias. Believe me, they had a great big time down here, and they had on hand over three hundred thousand dollars, and still the money is pouring into the order. I want to here congratulate the leader of this bunch, Prof. W. S. Willis, of Waco, Texas, Grand Chancellor. He is just a leader of men, and knows well how to do things. He has the confidence of his people, because he is straight with them and gives every man what is due him. His speeches were manly, and not a cringing word did he speak that would tend to ignite the powder keg; and stir up the state. He is a sane safe leader, and I am real proud of him my- (Concluded on Fourth Page) --- Page Two THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. Thos. Knapper Associate Editor MRS. M. G.

CHURCH NEWS First Church had its usual splendid congregation Sunday morning, which people are noted for being in their seats at the opening of the preaching service. Rev. J. F. Griffin filled his pulpit, although he was quite indisposed. His sermon as always, was of great power of intelligent spiritual food to his good listeners. It was a "River in a Dry Land," and the souls of men and women drank it in freely. The Sabbath school, at 9:30, was well filled with young and old. The lesson was interesting and the scholars took advantage some of the teachers, who were unprepared. Teachers had better know their theology and other ologes, when they come before some of these classes. Sunday evening, Children's Day was held, with a most excellent program. There were about one hundred pupils on the program alone, with a fine chorus. The wee little folks of Mrs. Simpsons class, nicely entertained their parents and others present, in her little speeches, songs and dialogues. The whoop and parasol girls came in for their share of entertainers, also the solos that were so beautifully rendered. Parents, some of you don't know the interest some of these teachers have in your children. Come out at the Endeavor programs on Sunday evening and see more of their helpful work. The July rally is in progress, each captain rounding out their club for a short and spirited campaign to the finish. It's a small rally, only $3,000. The pastor, Rev. Griffin, a tireless worker for the church and humanity, should have a much needed rest and the congregation is in hopes he will take one and that very soon. Argentine. Kansas St. Paul A. M.

J. H. H. NEGROES RESENT SEGREGATION G. O. P. POLICY Washington, D. C., June 14. Colored people of Washington, incensed at segregation of colored guests at the dedication of the Lincoln memorial in Washington on May 30, are asking the dismissal of Colonel Clarence C. Sherrill, superintendent of capitol grounds and buildings, at whose door the segregation was laid, according to an announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue. Action has been taken by the District of Columbia branch of the advancement association, which has forwarded resolutions demanding Colonel Sherrill's dismissal to President Harding, Chief Justice Taft, who is president of the Lincoln Memorial commission, and Secretary of War Weeks. The resolutions state that the segregation complained of is the second incident of its kind in less than two months, the first being the placing of segregation placards in Rock Creek park. The resolutions contain a warning to the Republican party: "It would be a rude awakening and a painful dissolutionment to us to realize that the party was approving and following a practice which was incident of the institution of chattel slavery. Such a realization, in the case of a self-respecting people, could result only in severing of ties which until now have bound us to that party." Mrs. L. G. Terrell, widow of the late Rev. Rev. A. C. Terrell, of Atchison, Kans., was the house guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Payne several days last week at 840 Freeman avenue. Special—Lily White Petroleum, finest grade, 29c pound.

They measured off their holes in circles, because in that way they could keep watch over their herds. The holes were marked by a tag of wool attached to a stake. A horse, 51 years old, is living at Catawissa, Pa. He is the property of a minister, who has owned him for 35 years. The horse is believed to be the oldest in existence. According to recent press reports, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture has received a request from the Protective Emigration office of Berlin for the transportation by the Brazilian government of 10,000 German families, comprising about 50,000 agricultural laborers who are reported to be refugees from Poland in Germany. Although the general lockout in Denmark has been settled and the men in the different industrial lines are gradually going back to work, there are still 74,000 laborers out of work, which is 5,000 in excess of unemployed at the same period in 1921.

JESSE PECK, PRESIDENT KANSAS CITY, KANSAS IS CIVILIATION DYING? by a workingman who hears his children cry for more bread? "I seriously apprehend that you will, in some such season of adversity, as I have described, do thnigs which will prevent prosperity from returning; that you will act like people who should in a year of scarcity devour all the seed corn and thus make the next year one not of scarcity, but of absolute famine. There will be, I fear, spoilation. The spoilation will fear, spoilation. The spoilation will produce spoilation. There is nothing to stop you. Your constitution is all sail and no anchor. "As I said before, when a society has entered on this downward progress, either civilization or liberty must perish Either some Cgsar or Napoleon will seize the reins of government with a strong hand or your republic will be fearfully plundered and laid waste by barbarians in the twentieth century as the Roman Empire was in the fifth, with this difference—that the Huns and Vandals who ravished the Roman Empire came from without, while your Huns and Vandals will have been engendered within your own country by your own institutions." Rev. and Mrs. Moses Williams returned Sunday from the B. Y. P. U. Congress which was held in New Orleans. They spent nearly two weeks on the trip, visiting other points in the south.

Phone Field 5112W Academic, Normal- Commercial— How long does a civilization last? In his archaeological explorations Flinders Petrie is reported to have counted nine separate attempts at civilization. All of them failed at some point of their development Now, we are proud of our civilization, or we used to be until the World War upset our calculations somewhat. Even so, we probably consider ourselves pretty good political and social architects. But will future generations think so? As the very heart of present civilization, democracy and its development have become our chief concern. Enemies of democracy declare that it cannot endure under the strain of modern thinking and the tensiess of economic struggles. Friends of democracy, while admitting their anxiety for its complete vindication, deny that it can possibly fail. Whether we agree with him or not, it is interesting to read what Lord Macaulay wrote some sixty years ago on the question to H. S. Randall, of Virginia, who was related to Thomas Jefferson. Macaulay said: "I have long been convinced that institutions purely democratic must, sooner or later, destroy liberty or civilization, or both. You may think your country enjoys an exemption from these evils. I will frankly own to you that I am of a very different opinion. Your fate I believe to be certain, though it is deferred by a physical clause. As long as you have a boundless extent of fertile and unoccupied land your laboring population will be far more at ease than the laboring population of the Old World; and, while this is the case the Jefferson politics may continue to exist without causing any fatal calamity. But the time will come when New England will be as thickly populated as old England. Wages will be low and will fluctuate with you as with us. You will have your Manchesters and Birminghams; and in those Manchesters and Birminghams hundreds of thousands of artisans will assuredly sometimes be out of work. Then your institutions will be fairly brought to the test. "It is quite plain that your government will never be able to restrain a distressed and discontented majority; for with you the majority is the government and has the rich, who are always a minority, absolutely at its mercy. The day will come when in the State of New York, a multitude of people, noce of whom has more than half a breakfast or expects to have more than half a dinner, will choose a legislature. On one side is a statesman preaching patience, respect for vested right, strict observance of public faith On the other is a demagogue, ranting about the tyranny of capitalists and usurers and asking why anybody should be permitted to drink champagne and to ride in a carriage while thousands of honest folks are in want of necessaries. Which of two candidates is likely to be preferred MME. PATE --- A large congregation attended Metropolitan Temple Sunday, June 18, at 11 a. m. Dr. Harrison preached an excellent sermon from Is. 6, and many true Christians gave manifestations of the Spirit by shouting. Mrs. Ira Jones had a paper on "Women," for the Daughters of Zion club. After the sermon Deacon Taylor prayed. The congregation sang "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah,' and the choir sang "I Am Determined to Hold Out to the End." At 8 p. m. a larger congregation extended into the balcony. Again Dr. Harrison preached fine, and again many true Christians rejoiced in the Lord. Assistant Pastor Royston gave the offertory prayer, and it was found that the Daughters of Zion got $10 on their table, and on one table there was $118, and on another over $188, makning a total of over $316. Then Rev. Royston called Mrs. M. C. Matthews, who delivered an original "Farewell Poem" on Dr. Harrison's departure. At the end of nearly every line the deacons and friends said amen or gave favorable comments. At the close Dr. Harrison had them give her an ovation of applause. He praised it and her selections to the highest. He is the first Baptist preacher to have her poems printed. Dr. Harrison and his family will leave about Thursday for Houston, Texas. He nearly wept over the poem and as the choir sang one of his favorites, "God Will Take Care of You," He will be missed by Metropolitan Christians and all other Christians and good citizens. Wednesday night, Dr. E. A. Wilson, of Dallas, Texas, was advertised to preach. Next Sunday, June 25, Dr. Burdette, said to be a great preacher, will preach morning and night. We hope as large a crowd and larger as we have had Sunday nights will be present. All are welcome to Metropolitan Temple. The wedding reception of Miss Helen R. Clark, of Lawrence, and Mr. W. R. La May, Jr., of this city. was given Wednesday, June 21, at the La May farm. The funeral of Mr. J. T. Roberts will be held Sunday afternoon at Metropolitan Temple, Dr. D. A. Holmes officiating. Mrs. Kealing of Western University, her father and mother, attended the morning service at First A. M. E. church Sunday.

ADVOCATE MIDNIGHT (Continued from First Page) self So well pleased were the men that nearly a thousand men unanimously elected the officers on one vote and every one of them at that. There was no friction. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the strong men in the order. Prof. A. S. Jackson, of Waco, Commissioner of Education for his church, and a leader in the order. He spoke right out against ignorance, illiteracy and all the other things that would be classed as cousins, uncle, or nephews to that class of crime breeders, and he urged them to get education for their children. I think with so many people getting education the supply would run out, but still they get it. There came along George M. Guest, of Paris, and he is a still deeper leader. He holds the position of Grand Master of Exchequer and he is a man of wealth himself. He goes right along and makes friends. Next I found that business young man, a product of Wilberforce, Prof. J. E. Smith, grand keeper of records and seals, and he is some man, believe me, honey. I am told that he is consider one of the best bookkeepers in this country, and as an accountant, stands next to J. M. Wright, of Tcpeka, Kans., and that is putting him up high. Pref. W. J. Smith, an educator, is vice-grand chancellor, and I could mention many others, but time will not permit me to do so. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, of New Orleans, and believe me he is one more big man, and a leader of men. It has often been asked how does he do it? I am not able to give the information, but I can tell you that if you will ask Grand Chancellor Llcyd, of Misouri, or John Mitchell, of Virginia, they will tell you that he is a man who will make sure that he is right and then you can't move him. Because he is right he gets the support of others. Mrs. Norene Davis, of Kansas Cty, Kans., Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Calanthe in that state, was down here and she was the guest of honor, and they certainly did honor her. She is a veritable queen among the women, and they made Kansas proud of the leader of the women in that section of the world. She made one more speech. She is an orator from way back yonder. Well, you Norenes mother took time to have her trained, and now that she is trained, she is doing her work and doing it well. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the leading women in the order in Texas, and heard some of the things they had to say, and after it was all over I got myself together and left. But believe me they are doing things in that man's town. There is Rev. J. W. McDade, pastor of the A. M. E. church, Bethel at that, and he is a leader among men. Some day he is going to be the secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, and a place he will win. Prof. Tarver used to be, but he is not now. He will have another position next fall. R. Sutton, Curry, is the firm with Carter first, and these men are the leading planters in this section of the country. O. J. Carter, whose name heads the firm, is business manager, and he is a business man from his heart. If I were near them when the last comes to me I want O. J. Carter to manage the planting of my body, for my soul is going right into Heaven. This is certainly a good place to go. I have it all fixed up with the Lord. I know He has laid His hands on me, and I am Heaven bent and bound. I had the pleasure of meeting that fearless editor, C. F. Richardson, of the Houston Reformer. He is editor and publisher, and a man who is willing to use his life to defend his race. He is a man of worth and worth while at that, and I am ready to take off my hat, or even my head, to bow to such a strong man as Richardson. Long may he live. Getting through in San Antonio, I got myself together and in company with Mrs. Norene Davis, left for Austin, Texas. Mrs. Davis decided to stop over and look Austin over, hence Dr. S. D. Butler, who is slated for the episcopacy, was at the station with his wife in his new Buick to tote her to the excellent place where he had arranged for her to stop, the home of Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Abner, and they have a palatial home, and at the some time and in-that same automobile car carriage they toted me to their home. Mrs. Butler declared that to her I felt like a brother, and I was always welcome to their home, and if they had but one room and one biscuit they were willing to share it with me and Dr. Butler said, "Praise the Lord!" All day long last Saturday, he had us showing us this city of Austin. In the company were Mrs. Abner, Miss Ferguson, of Sam Houston college, and Grand Worthy Counsellor Mrs. Davis, from Kansas; Dr. S. D. Butler and Old Man Midnight, and it was some ride. Mrs. Butler, whose desire was to serve, remained at home and prepared a real chicken dinner, and the bird would just melt in your mouth. She is not only well educated, but she is one more cook. She is a great help to her husband and to the people of Austin. I shall have more to say about her in another letter. I must now get to the place where I must bring this letter to a close, but I must not forget to remind you that the meeting of the Allen Christian Endeaver League will be held in Chicago, and the young people of the African Methodist Epsicopal church will be there from all over the United States, and in addition to this the National Negro Business League will meet August 16, in Norfolk, Va., and there will be the National Baptist convention meeting next in Los Angeles.
